Zoey's Success Story

We love hearing positive owner stories of how Protexin Veterinary products have helped to transform pet’s lives. Angela recently got in touch with us to tell us all about Zoey – the labradoodle, with her troublesome digestion issues and how Pro-Fibre has helped her to become a normal healthy dog. Take a look to see her story

“I just wish to thank you for your excellent product Pro Fibre. My dog has had a troublesome digestion for all her two and a half years of her life. I tried many products, without success.

However a month ago, when I noticed your product on the shelf. Having nothing to lose, I tried it on my labradoodle. WOW! Success. She is now a normal healthy dog, and I no longer worry about her digestion.

Thank you for a wonderful supplement.”

We wish Zoey all the best and hope the improvements continue!

Property Tax News Update [May 2018]

What’s happening with our property taxes now?

Check out our May 2018 round up of property tax news, and see who is getting hit with higher taxes, who might get a free pass, and why…

Bad News if You Own Property in Buffalo, NY

If you live or own real estate in Buffalo, New York, brace yourself for higher property taxes. The new budget calls for increases on both residential properties and businesses.

Pennsylvania to Scrap Property Taxes

Find out how PA governors have figured out a way to do away with property taxes altogether here.

Section 66 Deakin

Section 66 Deakin

Hindmarsh has engaged Purdon Planning to lead the rezoning of Section 66 Deakin to allow multi-unit residential development on the subject site. The rezoning process will require a variation to the Territory Plan, ACT’s key planning document.

Section 66 is currently zoned a Transport Services Zone (TSZ2), which is an uncommon industrial zone within the ACT. The Territory Plan Variation (TPV) would look to change this zone to a Mixed-Use Zone (CZ5), in order for the land to be repurposed to house a multi-unit residential development. Development of Blocks 7 and 8 is likely to accommodate a max of 200 units. Development of the entire site may yield between 400 and 500 units.

This project is at an early stage, we are seeking views from the community to inform the project. Key issues raised will inform an integral part of a planning report and design of the proposal.

Locality Map

Section 66 is adjacent to Deakin’s boundary with Hughes and with Kent Street passing along the western frontage. The site borders the Red Hill Nature Reserve on its northern and eastern boundaries and lies opposite Alfred Deakin High School and the Deakin Offices.

Blocks 7, 8 and 13 are currently undeveloped. Blocks 2 and 6 to the north east of the subject area contain a Telstra Office facility and the Deakin Department of Defence building respectively. The total subject site area is 25,412m².

The site is conveniently located between Hughes and Deakin and is in close walking distance to a variety of amenities such as local shopping centres, recreation facilities, and various health services.

Proximity to Local Amenities

Studies Completed to Date

During the process of varying the Territory Plan, in-depth studies must be completed on social, environmental and economic impacts and benefits of the zone change. The following studies have been conducted and will be discussed at public consultation sessions (see below). Study findings include:

Ecological: Vegetation onsite consists of mainly exotic grasses and non-indigenous native plantings. Section 57 block immediately to the south of the site is zoned as an urban open space. This area would not be impacted by the proposed development. Given the current highly modified state of the site, overall the study suggests the project should not impact on the ecology of the subject site. Ecology Report

Noise: The study identified the potential noise from the Telstra establishment, however with suitable mitigation the risk is expected to be manageable. Overall the study did not identify any particular acoustic design risks associated with using the site for the proposed intention.

Light: The Study provided various recommendations for light designs to ensure security and area lighting is maintained while light spill does not impact on residents and the Nature Reserve.

Contamination: Overall the report suggests that the site will be suitable for the proposed end use with minimal remediation and management, if required. Contamination Report

Traffic: A Traffic Impact and Parking Report has been completed in relation to the proposed TPV. The traffic report was a priority document to ensure correct analysis of the area was captured to highlight acceptable impacts to traffic conditions. An Intersection Traffic Model was developed to analyse the impacts of the proposed traffic generation. Traffic counts were also completed for the AM (8:15 to 9:15) and PM (16:45 to 17:45) Peak times. The report indicated that the proposed development would have minimal impact on the existing traffic network and results suggest intersection upgrades would not be required. Traffic Report

Heritage: Overall the Heritage Site assessment reported that no heritage sites (Aboriginal or European) or areas of archaeological potential were identified in the study area so there are no statutory implications. Heritage Report

Bushfire Report can be viewed HERE

Proposed Land Zoning

Proposed Development

If the rezoning process is successful, Hindmarsh plans to develop a multi-unit residential development on the site.

The development would be distinctive, modern and high-quality build, drawing its character from the adjacent Red Hill Nature Reserve and oriented away from the adjacent Defence building to ensure the focus is on an attractive internal environment taking advantage of the expansive views.

The Defence and Telstra sites are included in the proposal, and may be redeveloped in the future for further residential or commercial commensurate with the Deakin business district.

Overall the development design intent aims to be a well considered and visually pleasing addition to the overall character of the area. Architectural plans have not been drafted at this early stage. We hope that input from the community will inform the proposed design.

Community Feedback

The project team has held various Community Engagement sessions in relation to this proposal.

These sessions have provided the opportunity for community members to talk to the project team and provide individual and valuable insight.

The posters from these sessions can be viewed HERE

Tax Technology: The current scenario

Around the world, businesses continue to evolve rapidly. Momentous advancement is being witnessed in the field of technology and its role in the day-to-day operations of businesses. In this scenario, there is an unprecedented potential for emerging technologies that will reshape how work is done, how businesses grow, and how markets and industries evolve. And with dramatic changes in the tax landscape, tax authorities and taxpayers are looking for ever-increasing innovation in tax management. Consequently, there is a great need for organisations to invest proactively in their tax functions in this fast-changing business and regulatory environment.

The main challenges facing tax functions today:

  1. Inconsistency in the information used in various tax filings for diverse tax laws in multiple jurisdictions
  2. Lack of effective control over compliance that needs to be undertaken and confidence that the required data is available for completion of compliance
  3. Optimisation and achievement of efficiency in the tax function to provide quick but accurate tax input with high assurance for effective decision-making in business
  4. Ability to influence shaping of new laws, protocols and public opinion across multiple jurisdictions and diverse regulators, and other stakeholders including media and NGOs

Therefore, companies need to implement the right technology-related strategies to mitigate the challenges mentioned above by correctly analysing:

  1. Technology-related requirements: analysis of cost benefit aspect of technology adoption
  2. Alignment of technology: alignment of technology for tax functions with organisations’ overall technology strategies
  3. Prioritisation of effort: initial technology implementation in high-impact areas on priority basis so that benefits are realised in terms of effort and cost

Why has technology not been widely adopted by tax functions till now?

  1. Dearth of reliable technology-based tools that could help to automate tax functions
  2. Lack of availability of the right skillsets and domain expertise in niche areas of technology
  3. Lack of awareness of benefits accruing from implementation of technology in tax functions

Why should it work now?

  1. The new generation of tax managers are forward-looking and are ready to invest their time and energy to derive the maximum value by using technology in their organisations’ tax functions.
  2. Today, use of high-end robotics and Big Data analytics is not restricted to research projects and is easily available for tax applications.
  3. Boards are aware of the consequences of weakness in their tax functions and are eager to invest in tailor-made technology-based solutions.

3 'secret' Office productivity apps

Anyone with an Office 365 account will be familiar with the double-edged sword that is the hallmark of Evergreen applications and application suites.

On one hand, you always have the most up to date software with great new features released monthly, but on the other you can quickly fall behind in terms of your knowledge of which features and apps are available, and what they enable you to do.

This situation is exacerbated by the pace at which these new features and apps are rolled out.

Organisations and teams spend so much time focusing on when and how to use Teams, Groups, Planner, Yammer and Sites that some extremely useful apps slip under the radar and go unnoticed by most information workers.

In this article, I’d like to highlight three of those unsung heroes, designed specifically with tablets and smart-phones in mind, and draw your attention to some of the ways they can make your life easier.

Office Lens

Originally a stand-alone app for ‘phones, Office lens is now integrated with OneNote and essentially turns your smart-phone or tablet into a scanner. This enables you to convert physical documents into digital files.

Microsoft recommend that you "Use it to take pictures of receipts, business cards, menus, whiteboards or sticky notes - then let Office Lens crop, enhance and save to OneNote".

The beauty of Office Lens is that it automatically recognizes the corners and edges of a document or whatever you are capturing, which you can easily crop. Office Lens will clean up and adjust the scanned image. Even if you capture the image at an angle, Office Lens will automatically give you a flat scan.

With built in Optical Character Recognition, there are further benefits. For example, if you scan a business card, Office lens will automatically generate contacts with the appropriate fields. Because you are converting analogue text to digital information, you can easily convert your scan into a Word document or PowerPoint presentation.

Using OneDrive for Business to share means that colleagues can easily access and even edit your Office Lens scans.

Find out more about Office Lens

GigJam is a new way to collaborate with colleagues on documents, files and information.

Although you can use GigJam on a desktop or laptop computer, it has been optimised for use on smart-phones and tablets.

The unique selling point of GigJam is its spontaneity – by inviting a colleague to a ‘Gig’ you can immediately share files from any number of cloud based platforms and services, such as OneDrive for Business, DropBox, Trello and Asana, as well as files from your local device.

The tricky process of administration of permissions is simplified – useful when you consider the number of different methods for setting access rights across multiple platforms.

Using a very simple interface, not only can you choose read-only or edit permissions, you can decide which parts of a document to share and which to hide – this focuses collaboration, discussion and feedback.

For example, if you want a colleague’s feedback on a CV you are looking at, you can share this in GigJam and choose to display only relevant sections of the CV.

Or perhaps you want a client or vendor’s help on filling in details in an area of your sales process and you want to keep certain confidential information hidden; GigJam allows you to decide who sees what.

Although GigJam has been available for a few years now, there are still areas for refinement and development, particularly in the user interface. However it’s definitely worth a second look as it provides a valuable, unique capability.

Find out more about GigJam

Sway is a unique app designed to help you build interactive presentations.

It has remained somewhat under the radar due to the prevalence of PowerPoint and Keynote.

Sway is different for several reasons:

  • Presentation formatting is simplified, and is enhanced through professional design styles and options.
  • It is very easy to change the look and feel of your Sway if you don’t like it.
  • You can very easily drag and drop media content to your presentation from a growing number of sources, including OneDrive, Pickit, Twitter, Bing, Flickr and YouTube.
  • As you add media, the presentation design options change to suit e.g. the colours in images you have used.
  • Switching between where you create your Sway and the preview screen is quick and easy.

Your Sways live in the cloud in Microsoft servers – you can’t download them as files. However, this makes your Sways easy to share – anyone with an up-to date smartphone or tablet can view, present and potentially edit your Sway.

Your presentations have the potential to be much more organic, meaning you can easily go off at a tangent to display related interactive content such as charts, audio and video, rather than following a linear path as with PowerPoint or Keynote.

Sway is refreshingly easy to use, especially with the new Quickstarter template which guides you through the process of creating topic-related Sways.

Find out more about Sway

As with all Microsoft apps, development of Office Lens, GigJam and Sway is in a state of flux as new features and refinements are added. However, each app in its own way signals the direction in which cloud services and mobile computing are headed.

10 Great Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Ideas

Share this article

Master peer-to-peer fundraising by connecting with your incredible supporters -- that is, your P2Peeps! Download our free eBook to retain more peer-to-peer donors and fundraisers!

Trying something new feels intimidating, but the potential of peer-to-peer fundraising to help you quickly reach your fundraising goals makes it worth considering. Peer-to-peer fundraising—individuals raising money for a cause with the help of their family and friends—is fun and easy, especially when you combine traditional peer-to-peer fundraising with other methods.

Finding new ideas can be challenging, so we have pulled together a few interesting methods to get you started.  Your idea has to be inspiring enough that it will get others excited to share with their family and friends. The results can be absolutely inspiring if you do it right!   It is amazing to experience the excitement and enthusiasm of your donors rallying behind your cause with just the right campaign.  People are much more likely to give if they know the person asking, and participants involved feel the cause is worth their time and effort. How do you find that combination of what really resonates with your donors to get them excited to raise money for your cause?

Check out Qgiv’s list of 10 fun peer-to-peer fundraising ideas to get you started:

1. Run. Walk. Swim

Athletic events are what most people think of when they start thinking about peer-to-peer fundraising. Runs are very popular events, and you can easily sell team T-shirts to raise extra fundraising dollars.  Include a “fun walk” to include families with children. Hold it annually and invite sponsors to have tents at the finish line with water/sports drinks and even craft beer for the finishers. If you want to read a fantastic story about how one nonprofit met (and exceeded!) their fundraising goal with a family-friendly walk, check out this article about The Education Cooperative’s “Walk & Roll” event.

How to Do It: After you’ve set up your event and arranged the details, invite your supporters to set up fundraising pages. They can share their page to friends and family, ask them to donate, or encourage them to register.

2. Bowl-a-Thon

This is a popular way to get teams together in friendly competition in a really fun and social environment. Get the competition going with suggesting the teams come up with team names and offer a prize for the most creative ones.  You can also include donated prizes for silly achievements like most “gutter balls” to take the pressure off your participants.

How to Do It: This is an awesome opportunity to encourage friendly competition between teams! Reach out to local businesses to see if they have groups of employees who would be interested in creating a team — it’s great for your nonprofit, is an opportunity for them to bond with each other, and could lead to relationships with businesses down the road.

3. Honor a special someone

Starting a peer-to-peer fundraiser in someone’s honor is a powerful way to focus your fundraising on sharing a very personal story that your organization supports.  Include the opportunity to win artwork made by a child that needs help for the most money raised in their honor or other incentives. These can be especially powerful if the honoree is personally invested in the same cause you’re supporting with your peer-to-peer fundraising.

How to Do It: Set up a peer-to-peer event that allows people to set up pages honoring their loved ones. Give them the tools to share their page, but let them take the lead on how they want to spread the word.

4. Pub crawls in your local community

Get locals together for a pub/coffee/dessert crawl around your town. Ask businesses ahead of time if they can offer any discounts for your event. Make it more fun for adding a theme and wearing costumes around a holiday like Halloween, Valentine’s Day, or the 4th of July!

How to Do It: This is an excellent incentive for peer-to-peer fundraisers. It’s also the perfect opportunity to recognize top fundraisers! Announce winners for each fundraising category at each new spot: think of categories like top team, top fundraiser, best fundraising page, etc.

5. Exchange charity donations for wedding gifts

Have wedding guests support important charities instead of buying the couple things they don’t need.  How cool is it to have puppies available for adoption instead of flowers for bridesmaids? Couples can also set up a fundraising page where people can go donate instead of buying something from a registry, and they can leave their well-wishes for the couple right on the fundraising page.

How to Do It: This setup can be similar to the fundraiser for a loved one. Set up a peer-to-peer event that allows individuals to create a page for a specific life event — in this case, a wedding! Give the happy couple the tools they need to explain why they’re supporting your organization on their special day.

6. Hold a bake sale

Bake sales never go out of style.  Who doesn’t love buying treats that benefit a worthy nonprofit organization? Expand your participation by offering more healthy gluten-free and low sugar alternative choices.  Exchange yummy treats for donations at schools and churches.

How to Do It: Ready for more friendly competition? Ask each fundraiser to bring in their favorite baked good for donors to sample. Donors then “vote” on who brought the best goodies by donating to their fundraising page. Each vote is $1 — and any remaining food can be sold to donors who couldn’t get enough.

7. Share love at your holiday party

Throw an annual holiday peer-to-peer event! Participants can set up their own pages to share with friends and family as the event approaches. Then, acknowledge outstanding participants and donors at your party! You can also include auctioned items and special “live” auction items at your party to make it more entertaining for your guests.

How to Do It: This can be approached a number of different ways. Run is as a traditional peer-to-peer event and hold the holiday party as the culmination of the fundraiser. Alternatively, you could encourage participants to get as many friends and family members as possible to “sell” admittance to the party in return for a donation. Get creative!

8. Game Night

Casino nights are popular events to raise money for your cause. Have them register for a donation fee and exchange with “funny” money and award prizes for those with the biggest wins of the night. Offer a way to donate money to your online peer-to-peer event, and consider incentivizing donors with chips or “funny money” after they give.

How to Do It: You can approach this the same way you promote a holiday party. If you use tools like text giving for your peer-to-peer event, participants can encourage their attending friends and family to donate and get more chips just by texting the participant’s unique keyword to your number.

9. Creative challenges

Grow beards, take a polar plunge, or race rubber duckies in a pond! Be really creative and fun with it and share, share and share on social media to get attention for your event. Coming up with a creative challenge can help you get more attention during your event – lots of people do fun runs or 5ks, so an unusual challenge will help you stand out!

Check out this creative take on peer-to-peer fundraising where participants raised money before plunging into an icy lake. They raised more than $121,000!

How to Do It: Let your imagination run wild! Spend a while brainstorming what unique events are uniquely suited to your nonprofit, your mission, your budget, and even your location. At Qgiv, we’ve seen all kinds of cool stuff: dragon races, paper airplane contests, fashion shows — you’re only limited by your imagination!

10.  Golf Outings

Annual golf outings are a great fundraising idea.  Teams are important here; they can work together to raise more money leading up to the tournament and recruit other people to participate.  Bring in sponsorships to host prizes or recognition for achievements like “closest to the hole” and “hole in ones” to add to the competition.   Be sure you recruit a lot of volunteers to offer additional raffle items during the event.

How to Do It: Is there anything more classic than a golf tournament fundraiser? This can work exactly like the tournaments that have been going on for decades. This time, have participants collect pledges and donations online instead of in person.

And there are new fundraising ideas that are taking off virally in social media at a more frequent pace than we have ever seen… considering the speed with which ideas are shared, you merely need to pay attention to what’s trending.  And a great place to start is with your donors!

Go to Your Donors for Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Ideas

Are you listening to what your donors are talking about, liking and sharing on social media?  This is an excellent place to start.  What about your community?

There are unique attributes to every community that are a perfect environment for your next fundraising idea. Are you near a walkable downtown, a painting or pottery studio, a nice restaurant, or even a bowling alley?  These places provide excellent venues to get people together to raise money for your organization. If your donors are already excited about something local, they’ll be more likely to get involved with a peer-to-peer fundraiser that incorporates it.

Take time to be creative with the idea you choose.  It’s easier to spread the word and get people excited about your cause with a memorable slogan and bright colorful image that is easily shared on social media if you’ve come up with a creative idea.  It should be catchy, easy to say, and have a direct link to the unique experience you are creating.

Idea: poll your existing donors, volunteers, and other event participants for ideas early, and make sure not to overlook the power of communicating a great fundraising idea in a creative way.

What to Do with Your Unique Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Idea

Now that you have an idea to run with, what do you do next?

It takes some thoughtful planning to make sure you have the right tools to attract team members and get them excited to participate in your event. Planning with a few key people, determining roles and responsibilities of who will do what at what time is invaluable to pulling off a successful event.

Engage in working sessions and have people bring their laptops and smart phones with them to execute on some of your needed activities right there on the spot.

And don’t forget to have fun!  Meet at a local restaurant or bar to encourage everyone to come to your meeting. Your fundraisers are busy people with other jobs and responsibilities so make sure your meetings are productive and on point.  Let them know ahead of time what you will be discussing and to have them come prepared. Be sure to communicate the needs of your plan and encourage open discussion to new ideas of how things can be done better.

When team leaders are given extra responsibility, make sure you make it easy for them to check in on progress and make it easy to ask for help if something unexpected gets in the way…encourage people to help others to reach their goal.

How to Share Your Peer-to-Peer Event

Broadcast your event to as many people as possible and make the details clear – make sure the why, how, what, and when are easy to find in all your communications.  This is sometimes overlooked!

People may see a great idea on a Facebook post, but it doesn’t always list all the important details that help them participate.  If you can’t include all the relevant details in a post, be sure to link to additional information (and your registration page!) on the event specifics and who to contact for more information.  People do want to get involved; don’t discourage their enthusiasm by making it hard for them to participate.

Once your event is set up and running, it’s time to turn your attention to keeping donors motivated for the duration of the peer-to-peer fundraising event.

Having colorful branded online fundraising pages with progress meters to show how teams are doing is important to keep motivation levels high.  Make sure your event page and individual participant pages are eye-catching and keep with the theme of your event.

Keeping in touch with team participants through email campaigns you can schedule, depending on how close to your goal, makes your life easier.  Communication is critical to keeping participants involved, but it takes a lot of effort. Schedule communications based on your participants’ progress and set them to send automatically. This helps you let them know how they are doing and helps them see how others are doing, which will drive friendly competition between groups. That can boost your fundraising exponentially!

How to Keep Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Participants Motivated

Make sure you don’t overlook the little things that keep teams motivated over the duration of your event!

Schedule participant check-ins at major milestones so participants can get together and share their successes and challenges. This will help teams improve their fundraising tactics.  It is important to share at critical moments to reiterate the common goal that you are reaching for, ensure that it is attainable, and offer needed encouragement and appreciation for all of their efforts, no matter how small. Every little bit counts when it comes to fundraising dollars.

People want to know they are making a difference by dedicating their time and effort to your cause.  Don’t overlook sharing your stories about how you have specifically helped and had an impact on changing one life.  The more personal the story, the more impact it will have.

Fundraising is closely tied to emotions of how people feel when experiencing and interacting with your organization.  Statistics are important to share, but have less meaning to driving team members to participate in your event than a tangible way they have the power to change lives.  Donors love to donate because of the direct impact they are having to make the world a better place. You are making this possible for them, in an easy and fun way through your event!  At any chance possible, incorporate tangible ways that fundraisers can physically have direct interaction with the very people they are raising money for.

A fantastic way to keep peer-to-peer fundraising participants motivated is to give them a fundraising toolkit — here are some awesome examples!

Tips for Sharing Your Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser on Social Media

Crowdfunding around a powerful fundraising idea is made easier today with social media.  The ability to visually tell your story and spread it to others takes less time than it has ever been before… but you’re competing with everyone else.

You don’t need a lot of experience to use social media effectively.  Enlist help from younger adults if needed to get started.  Once you start, you will be off and running…commenting, sharing and reposting away to assist your cause. Share your event, and make sure to show and tell your participants how easy it is to share your event.  The cascading effect can reach friends of friends, and that is the magic that is peer-to-peer fundraising. People donate to people they know and love already.  Familiarity to your cause increases with frequency of seeing it on friends’ Facebook timelines and Twitter feeds.

Get Local Businesses Involved in Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

It is nice when you can make your event very personal to your community, making it a unique event they couldn’t experience anywhere else.  Be sure to not be shy in asking local shops in participating.  They love opportunities to bring in more customers and participate in community-friendly activities.

Include opportunities where their logo can be prominently displayed online and in signage throughout your event. Invite them to milestone check-ins and the final event and personally thank them for their support of making your event possible.

Don’t stop at just one sponsor! Enlist as many as you can with the help of your organizers.  A little effort in the beginning reaching out and asking for help goes a long way in creating momentum for a successful event.

Build Peer-to-Peer Spirit by Selling Event Merchandise

Selling promotional items that are tied to your event can generate additional revenue to get you to your goals faster.  Wristbands, T-shirts, stickers, pins, and hats have the dual purpose of spreading the word of your event and giving participants have something to show for their time and contribution.  Consider asking friends who are designers or even local sponsors to contribute their artwork.

Another idea to try is to have the people (or animals) you are helping with your cause actually create the artwork for your T-shirt. It can have a unique and powerful effect in communication your mission. Using online stores as part of your fundraising event can take the pressure off the process and make this part easy.  If participants can easily see your branded items and purchase them online as part of the registration process, it makes the fundraising part easier.

The power of having participants wear your t-shirt on the day of the event enhances the community feeling and visibility of what you are trying to accomplish and should not be overlooked.  A team of people in brightly colored shirts with your organization’s logo helping the community is a great marketing opportunity to add to your newsletters and website to get others excited to join you in your cause.

Keep Participants Involved in Other Peer-to-Peer Fundraisers

Have your donors come back for more!  Once you have executed an amazing event, think immediately of how you can replicate your success next time.  Incorporate what worked, and, even more important, remove what didn’t work for your next event.

It is important to always have your pulse on how your donors are feeling as they are participating.  Collecting their feedback during and after the event will help you plan your next fundraiser even more effectively.

Do participants know how they are doing during the event? Do they feel they are contributing in a meaningful way? Are their time and effort being put to good use?  Ask them for their experiences and for insight into how you can make your next event even better.

Thanking donors after the event is sometimes overlooked by nonprofits. But it can be just what it takes to make sure they participate in your upcoming events!  It’s important to always be looking towards the future of what you are going to do next to excite your donors.

Retaining donors after you have worked hard on putting on your peer-to-peer event should be thought of as soon as you begin.  Reaching out to share a monthly newsletter, even when you are not hosting an event, keeps your organization top of mind.  Communicate appreciation and thanks to all of your supporters.  It’s amazing how the power of a personal thank-you note (including messaging about how they personally contributed to your organization!) can inspire a donor.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from nice and cozy Purchased for 2 reasons 1) the colors and 2) the Sherpa. Received the throw blanket thought it would be a little thicker but it's still warm and vibrant in colors. Brings color to my bedroom on my bed. Love it. Gave it 4 stars only for its thickness. Doesn't stop me from recommending to anyone wondering about it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful and soft! I'm kind of a throw "collector". I have quite a few. This one is so beautiful and super soft!! So lightweight too, it feels like a cloud is hugging you. Very dreamy. I've washed this twice and no color transfer or shrinkage. It's a great throw at a great deal. I love mine! I'd love to see more of this brand featured on air.

I got the set for my 4 year old daughter's bedroom, but I think it's perfect for "girly girls" of all ages! very girly, very colorful and very soft. My daughter absolutely adores her new bedding!

Converting EFX to PNG

EFX is an image format associated with some models of Everex fax machines. The file most likely contains the digital copy of a fax document that has been sent or received. Everex was a large manufacturer of tape drives, disk drives, fax modems and other IT products in the late 1980s. After a period of financial problems, the company was relaunched in 2008 after being acquired by New Market Technology. At the moment it manufactures desktop computers and notebooks. Everex fax machines have long been discontinued, so opening an EFX file might pose difficulties.

The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.

So, how to change EFX into PNG?

Kerala, India: launch of the 1st sub-national action plan on AMR

Share the article

The state of Kerala became the first Indian state to launch an Action Plan for containing Antimicrobial Resistance. The Kerala Antimicrobial Resistance Strategic Action Plan (KARSAP) was released at a ceremony held at the city of Thiruvananthapuram on 25th October 2018. The action plan is aimed at giving a strategic direction to the various activities undertaken to tackle antimicrobial resistance in the state. The action plan is truly "One-Health" in its approach and was developed through a collaborative exercise involving human, non-human and environment sectors.

The Action Plan was released by the Chief Minister of the state of Kerala Mr Pinaryi Vijayan, who handed over the first copy to Dr Henk Bekedem, WHO’s Representative to India.

The Action Plan was released by the Chief Minister of the state of Kerala Mr Pinaryi Vijayan, who handed over the first copy to Dr Henk Bekedem, World Health Organization’s Representative to India. The Chief Minister congratulated all those who were involved in the process of developing KARSAP and reminded the audience that release of such a plan is only the first baby step in a long journey. He said that the general public should be made aware of the issues associated with misuse of drugs, especially antibiotics. Henk Bekedem said that the state of Kerala has consistently performed well in all areas related to health and development; and this was a reflection of a responsive political system. KK Shailaja, state minister for Health and Family welfare, also spoke at the occasion and highlighted the importance of translating the strategic action plan into reality.

“Kerala is a huge market for medicines and the misuse of antibiotics is soaring. There is a need to sensitize the community about the issues associated with overuse of antibiotics, especially over-the-counter sales of medicines.”

Pinaryi Vijayan, Chief Minister of the Government of Kerala

At the launch, Dr Sujith Chandy, Head of ReAct Asia Pacific, spoke on the need for building awareness and knowledge.

At the launch, Dr Sujith Chandy, Head of ReAct Asia Pacific, spoke on the need for building awareness and knowledge among the various interest groups associated with the implementation. He also pointed at the need to ensure that awareness translates into a sustainable change in behavior. The need for a prioritization exercise prior to the implementation process, was also highlighted by him.

Workshops to create essential components of action plan

The Action Plan was drafted with help from World Health Organization’s Country Office, who led the efforts to bring together various stakeholders. Multiple workshops were organized in Kerala with the purpose of creating the essential components of the action plan. The actual plan and the mapping of different stakeholders involved in the implementation process, was a collaborative exercise between multiple ministries and sectors. The highlight of the action plan is that it recognizes the importance of engaging the private sector and civil society groups in the implementation process.

The process of creating the action plan was led by Rajeev Sadanandan, the senior-most bureaucrat in the health department and Dr Sarada Devi KL, the head of Microbiology at Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram. Even though the process was led by the health department, there was robust participation from Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development, Fisheries and Environment Departments; apart from various universities and civil society groups.

State action plans will help implementation

The KARSAP is a follow-up to the National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance, which was brought out by the Government of India. But the size of the country and the complexities involved in the overall implementation process, called for such decentralized plans at the state level. This kind of state level plans can create a sense of ownership among the various players and will give the space to adapt the action plans according to localized needs and socio-cultural considerations.

Also, in countries like India where a federal system of governance is followed, many of the vital sectors in the action on antimicrobial resistance fall under the administrative domain of the state government. Therefore, it is pertinent to develop state level action plans taking into account the local needs and resources; and also based on the spirit of the action plans adopted by the federal governments.

ReAct Asia Pacific helped put focus on AMR

ReAct Asia Pacific has been active in the state of Kerala since early 2017; and it has helped to start a conversation on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as an issue. It has been successful in engaging multiple stakeholders like hospitals, farmers, local self-government functionaries and students- all key players in the process of implementing the action plan. ReAct Asia Pacific has also been involved in the mission to create models for engaging various interest groups; and to ensure that initiatives follow a multi-stakeholder and ‘One-Health’ approach.

There is significant progress in framing action plans for other states like Madhya Pradesh; and states like Maharashtra has moved forward in creating surveillance networks. These initiatives are surely creating a momentum on the action on antimicrobial resistance in India, which is home to a number of global generic manufacturers.

Raise Awareness  –  Examples from the field

World Antibiotic Awareness Week

Each year in November there are initiatives taken around the world to raise awareness about antibiotic resistance.

Improving antibiotic use is one of the most important steps to address antibiotic resistance. The idea to raise awareness about the importance of prudent use of antibiotics in Europe was agreed on in 2007. After this decision, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) held meetings in 2007 and 2008 to form the initiative and develop materials and tools that would be available for countries to use. The initiative came to be called the European Antibiotic Awareness Day (EAAD).

Campaigning in Europe

The first ever Europe-wide public campaign was set up with the aim to increase understanding about antibiotic resistance and to curb unnecessary antibiotic use in Europe. Since its inception, the number of campaigns during EAAD has grown and spread, with more and more countries joining the initiative. It has successfully functioned as a platform to support national campaigns around Europe where financial and political support have been limited. This by being a catalyst in the discussion of antibiotic resistance and by providing tools and materials for countries to use. Similar approaches then also developed in many other regions of the world.

Global initiatives

Building further on these yearly initiatives, “World Antibiotic Awareness Week” was launched by the WHO in 2015 to raise awareness on a global level, to encourage action to halt the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria, and to encourage best practices among health workers, the public, food producers, farmers, veterinarians and policy makers. World Antibiotic Awareness Week is a part of the campaign “Antibiotics: Handle with care”, with different sub-themes every year. The overall campaign theme is reflecting the message that antibiotics are precious and non-renewable medicines that should be used only when necessary, only for treating bacterial infections and only after prescription by a certified health professional.Blue background and white text with the phrase world antibiotic awareness week 16-22 november 2015 and antibiotics handle with care

Many countries governments, civil society organizations and health care providers have participated in World Antibiotic Awareness Week organizing various activities and campaigns. As an example, Hong Kong developed a campaign calling on healthcare professionals as well as the general public to pledge to use antibiotics responsibly – The “I Pledge Campaign”. The idea of the campaign is that concerted efforts are needed to tackle the issue of antimicrobial resistance.

In Venezuela, Argentina and Ecuador, Child to Child Stories were launched during Awareness Week in 2016 by ReAct Latin America. The inclusion of children in projects have been an important aspect for ReAct latin America using children as active advocates, researchers and health promoters for other children, their families and their communities.

Every year a series of activities and initiatives are arranged for World Antibiotic Awareness Week, globally and within ReAct. Visit the sites below for more information and inspiration!

Steen’s Syrup Dip for Pig Ears or Croquinoles

Ken’s recipe request asked: “My mother used to make croquinoles and a Steen’s syrup coating to dip them in. I know she cooked the syrup then let them set. They were gummy but good.” Ken also adds – “Very good and better if you add a little crushed pecan on each while still warm”.

  • 1 cup cane syrup
  • 2 tbsp sweet cream
  • Batch of Pig Ears or Croquinoles (recipe on website)

Step 1

In a medium size pot, bring syrup to a rolling boil.

Step 2

Add the cream and cook to soft ball stage.

Soft-Ball stage is reached when the mixture reaches 235° - 240° F on a candy thermometer. At this temperature, sugar syrup dropped into cold water will form a soft, flexible ball. If you remove the ball from water, it will flatten like a pancake after a few moments in your hand.

Step 3

Pour a tablespoon of syrup over each croquinole or Oreilles de Cochon or dip them in the syrup.

Step 4

Optionally, add a little crushed pecan on each while still warm.

Joe McCoy

When unraveling the cultural history woven together on the American continent, the singular contribution of one legendary figure comes quickly to mind, Joseph Getting McCoy.

As the son of immigrants, Joe McCoy combined the traditions of his parents with ideas born of the the new world. he rode the mid-nineteenth century frontier wave eastward to frame with his innovate and tough brand of textiles.

The arrival of work pants reinforced with copper rivets heralded the dawn of the new era. In the early twentieth century, motorisation, prosperity and strong demand for durable goods and luxuries rapidly spread across the country. Labourers wanted tough and affordable workwear. Gatsbyian playboys wanted suits and coats of the finest materials. Not many years later this deepening polarity gave way to a bubble-bursting depression and world-changing war, followed by a radical shift in clothing needs.

The garment industry was revolutionised as government contracts poured in for innovative and functional clothing. When the dust settled, American garments were recognised round the world for their function and originality.

Taking it’s cues from each changing era of the American experience in Sportswear, Denim and Workwear, Joe McCoy continues to manufacture unchanging products designed to last generations.

Virtual Tour Company Search Engine Optimization

I have been reading what others have to say about SEO. I have seen where people say that they don’t think that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is important. As a Charlotte Virtual Tour Provider I wanted to make sure that my company was listed at the top of the search engines if a real estate professional searched for service provider in my area.

I needed internet exposure for my new virtual tour company in Charlotte North Carolina. Since my website was brand new, I was coming up all the way back on page 9 in Google when performed a search for my company. I was pretty much nowhere to be found. I asked Team RTV (RTV’s provider Marketing Department) for some help. They responded very quickly.

Following the RTV plan, I started working on my site’s optimization that same Sunday afternoon. By the following Saturday, my site was appearing on the first page of Google results. Now, thanks to my blogs in Active Rain, and a little effort on my part, my site now shows at the top of the first page in Google for many key words. In addition, there are multiple references to my site for other keywords and searches through my Active Rain blogs and my Active Rain profile throughout the search engine results pages.

It feels good knowing that when potential customers search, they will find my company, Look Charlotte. I think it lends a certain amount of credibility to my virtual tour company when someone searches for a virtual tour provider and finds me at the top of the first page of the results.

Now is SEO important? I think you could make an argument both ways. I am just proud to be found in the search results when someone searches for my Charlotte NC virtual tour company.

Thanks Team RTV!!

RTV Marketing 2.0 Revealed

RTV is proud to announce the launch of our newest Inner-Circle resource: Marketing 2.0. This newest resource includes video training on important business marketing strategies and techniques with a focus on YOU, the small business owner.

Growing your business is often a difficult challenge and many entrepreneurs are overwhelmed with the feeling that they are alone in determining the best course for their business. As an entrepreneur you can’t share business strategies with family members because often times (and because you work so much already) family members want you to focus on the ‘family’ when you are not working. Clients want to know that you are ‘the expert’ in what you do, so you can’t bounce ideas off of them. And employees (maybe even your spouse) want to know that the business is secure, so constant ideas may scare them. So what is an entrepreneur to do when he/she needs advice, new ideas and direction? How do you steer the business with a road map that doesn’t exist yet?

Answer: Borrow someone else’s road map and use it to form your own.

RTV has been in business for over 8 years. All the members of Team RTV have either owned their own small business or have been working with small business owners just like you for years. We have access to a multitude of road maps that others have used and ARE using to build their businesses, both in virtual tours AND in real estate. So we thought, “Hey, wouldn’t it be great if we can take all of these road maps, break them down into fundamentals and allow our providers to pick and choose the strategies and techniques that will work for their business model without forcing them to all follow one plan?”

Answer: Marketing 2.0
