Lessons Learned is the definitive handbook for starting or growing a successful nonprofit organization. This reference guide helps its readers avoid the most common mistakes that any new nonprofit leader will face. Author Paul Isenberg brings uncommon insight into these mistakes, in part because he made many of them in the early days of starting and running Bringing Hope Home, a charitable organization that delivers hope to Families with cancer through financial and emotional support. Alongside the stories of those mistakes, Paul provides real-world examples and tried-and-true strategies that will help you get it right the first time. Coupled with the key lessons in each chapter, you'll be able to steer clear of the pitfalls, develop a more stable and sustainable organization from top to bottom, and get down to doing what you do best: helping others.
The New York Times BestsellerA ground-breaking history of the class system in America, which challenges popular myths about equality in the land of opportunity.In this landmark book, Nancy Isenberg argues that the voters who boosted Trump all the way to the White House have been a permanent part of the American fabric, and reveals how the wretched and landless poor have existed from the time of the earliest British colonial settlements to today's hillbillies.Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early nineteenth century and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery. Reconstruction pitted white trash against newly freed slaves, which factored in the rise of eugenics - a widely popular movement embraced by Theodore Roosevelt that targeted poor whites for sterilization. These poor were at the heart of New Deal reforms and Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society; they are now offered up as entertainment in reality TV shows, and the label is applied to celebrities ranging from Dolly Parton to Bill Clinton. Marginalized as a class, white trash have always been at or near the centre of major political debates over the character of the American identity.Surveying political rhetoric and policy, popular literature and scientific theories over four hundred years, Isenberg upends assumptions about America's supposedly class-free society - where liberty and hard work were meant to ensure real social mobility - and forces a nation to face the truth about the enduring, malevolent nature of class.

Forget the police. If you want protection, buy Death Insurance from Lemma Quartz.Lemma sells black market insurance, which guarantees that you will be avenged if you are hurt or killed. She excels at sales, and she resents her employer for not promoting her to be an assassin.And Lemma has the perfect cover: she works as a caretaker to her young handicapped neighbor, Milligram. Lemma helps Milligram walk around the neighborhood on crutches, gives him snacks when he's grumpy, and tucks him in at night. She's fine with selling Death Insurance to his teachers on the side, as long as Milligram never finds out.Then, Lemma discovers a string of bizarre deaths: people drowning in bathtubs, or freezing to death in meat lockers. She's thrilled to be assigned to the case, but it becomes impossible to solve without constantly lying to Milligram about her line of business. Racked with guilt, but obsessed with proving herself as a detective and assassin, Lemma dives headfirst into the case, praying that she can keep Milligram safe from the people she works with.
One morning in 1922, a merciless gang rides into the town of Ezra, Arizona. They leave in their wake a trail of bodies and some frightening questions: Why did they wear masks painted like skulls? What was the crimson fog that enveloped them? And how did they disappear without a trace? Here to solve the riddle is Elizabeth Crowne, the plucky paranormal investigator from Pittsburgh. Yet as Elizabeth discovers, the heist introduces a grander saga-of haunted mines, ancient legends, and cowboy justice in the unforgiving Southwestern desert. An uncanny take on the Western tradition, Ghost Bandits of Sonora is an action-packed companion to the hit podcast The Adventures of Elizabeth Crowne. Robert Isenberg is an author and multimedia producer. His books include The Green Season: A Writer's First Year in Costa Rica. He lives in New England with his family.
Geruche haben eine starke Wirkung. Sie wirken anders als visuelle oder akustische Reize direkt auf das limbische System und damit auf die Emotionen. In dem Einsatz von Geruchen stecken daher grosse Marketingmoeglichkeiten. Dennoch werden Geruchsmarken bislang nicht als Wirtschaftsguter genutzt. Es wurden bisher nur vereinzelt Versuche unternommen Geruche als Marken eintragen zu lassen. Dies koennte an der zuletzt ablehnenden Rechtsprechung liegen und der damit verbundenen Scheu der Unternehmen, in diesen Bereich zu investieren. Diese Arbeit zeigt daher auf, dass sich Geruche als Marken eignen und dem auch keine rechtlichen Bedenken entgegenstehen. Ferner werden Einsatzmoeglichkeiten erwogen.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Handel und Distribution, Note: 1,7, Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in Sankt Augustin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Zuge der globalen Handelsstr me und durch die M glichkeit des freien Warenverkehrs ergeben sich im Bezug auf den Erwerb von Kraftfahrzeugen aus den USA m gliche Preisvorteile durch positive Wechselkurseffekte und regional unterschiedliche Verkaufspreise. Im Verlauf dieser schriftlichen Arbeit wird dargelegt, inwieweit der Erwerb von Kraftfahrzeugen aus den USA ein wirtschaftlich sinnvolles Investment ist und ob sich Einsparungen in einer H he ergeben, die den damit verbunden Aufwand rechtfertigt.

Uber 1'000 Gemeinden im nordlichen Teil des Bundeslandes Rheinland-Pfalz werden hinsichtlich ihrer demographischen Zusammenhange untersucht, wobei besonders die Merkmale Bevolkerungsgrosse und ihre Entwicklung, ferner Alters-, Haushaltsstruktur und Sexualproportion Gegenstand der Analyse sind. Mit Hilfe von statistischen Verfahren werden bislang verwendete oder neu abgeleitete Altersindizes hinsichtlich ihrer Aussagekraft zur Beschreibung der altersstrukturellen Zusammensetzung und Entwicklung einer Bevolkerung getestet und in kartographischen Darstellungen erprobt. Einen grosseren Umfang nimmt die Klarung ein, welche ausserdemographischen Variablen fur die Beeinflussung der analysierten demographischen Struktur und ihrer Veranderung verantwortlich sind und inwieweit die Variablen das Verteilungsmuster ausgewahlter Merkmale der Bevolkerungsstruktur und ihrer Bewegung bestimmen."
