"How Web Design Can Improve Your Online Fundraising Categorized as: Online Donations, Online Fundraising, Webdesign by Elizabeth Beachy A lot of non-profits have online donation pages but complain that they still receive very few donations. Why? There are several reasons that could explain the lack of online giving ranging from low traffic to a poorly designed website. In essence, to be effective your entire online communication strategy must be built around increasing donations, which has implications regarding how your website is designed and what information you offer. Below are five keys to online fundraising success. While some of them sound intuitive, a recent study of non-profit websites found that a surprising number of them do not meet these criteria. Potential donors were left feeling frustrated and discouraged from donating. To keep that from happening to your potential donors, take another look at your site: 1. Does your website clearly outline who you are, what your... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"World Governments Stage Dramatic Dollar Rescue Attempt Joe Weisenthal|Nov. 12, 2009, 5:00 AM | 32 | Print Tags: Markets, Money, Economy, Treasury Leaders the world over may talk about wanting to dump the dollar, but as we've seen, as long as it remains the currency, they don't want it to weak. If Bernanke is going to print, they're going to print to keep up, keep their currencies weak, and keep their exporters competitive. WSJ: Thailand, South Korea, Russia and the Philippines have been snapping up dollars this week in order to hold down the value of their currencies, traders said Wednesday, as the U.S. currency wallowed near 15-month lows. In Latin America, Brazil's finance minister said the country's currency remained too strong, sparking speculation that the government would intensify recent efforts to curb the real's ascent. On Tuesday, Taiwan banned foreign investors from parking time deposits in the country in an effort to ease upward pressure on the local currency. China, as... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"Mon, Nov 09, 2009 my paper S'poreans clueless on retirement By Kenny Chee SINGAPOREANS generally have not planned well for their retirement, according to a survey by global bank HSBC. The majority of Singaporeans polled in the survey - aged between 30 and 70 - said that they saved only $100 to $200 a month for their retirement. This works out to a total of less than $100,000 for retirement, which experts say might not be sufficient. Mr Walter de Oude, chief actuary and head of products and marketing from HSBC Insurance, told my paper: "If you retire at the age of 65, for example, and live up to the age 95, there's no way you can sustain even a downgraded lifestyle for 30 years with $100,000." To rectify this, he said that Singaporeans could set aside regular savings for a financial plan that could grow into a nest egg by the time they reach retirement. However, they need to be careful that their savings are not eroded by inflation over time. To do that, they could use the help of a... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"Are Singaporeans clueless about retirement, and if so, why? Thursday, 12 November 2009, 5:51 pm | 12 views Ng E-Jay A recent poll carried out by HSBC Bank revealed that the majority of respondents, aged between 30 and 70, saved only $100 to $200 per month for their retirement [1]. It does not take a financial expert to know that this amount would provide woefully inadequate retirement funding, especially in high cost Singapore. The same HSBC poll also found that around 30% of Singaporeans were unsure about their retirement plans, including issues like the need for insurance. Are Singaporeans really that clueless about their own retirement needs, and if so, why? Presumably, the $100 to $200 per month saved by the majority of those surveyed by HSBC Bank excludes CPF contributions. The CPF is a nation-wide form of forced savings, making Singapore a nation with one of the highest savings rates in the world. But even with CPF contributions factored in, are Singaporeans in proper shape to... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"Open letter to Prime Minister Lee expressing unhappiness at his pro-foreigner policy (Part 1) November 12, 2009 by admin Filed under Opinion Leave a comment By Tan Keng Leng, Guest Columnist Mr. Prime Minister, We are a group of concerned Singaporean netizens, and we are writing in to you to express our unhappiness at the direction the country has been heading towards since the last General Election. As citizens, it is our birthright to decide the direction we want the country to take, to elect the national leaders who would lead the country in the direction we want, and to voice out our reservations if we are unhappy with the direction the country is headed. And now we strongly believe that the time has come for us to express our unhappiness to the government. First and foremost, there should be an immediate freeze on the number of foreigners allowed into the country. The country now has 5,000,000 residents give or take a few thousand, and the social infrastructure is now bursting... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"Malaysia's mysterious ship city causes concern Posted: 12 November 2009 1217 hrs Photos 1 of 1 Fishing boats sit at the shore of Sungi Rengit in front of anchored ships near the Malaysian southern Johor state. KUALA LUMPUR: Hundreds of ships mysteriously left idle off the Malaysian coast during the economic downturn are posing environmental and safety hazards, port authorities and fishermen say. The ships are lying off the southeastern tip of southern Johor state which faces Singapore, positioned outside port limits to avoid charges and official scrutiny. Some authorities said they believed the ships were waiting out the export slump that has deprived them of cargo, while others said they were being used to conduct illegal oil transfers. "These vessels are not supposed to anchor there. This activity is considered illegal," Johor Port Authority assistant general manager Damon Nori Masood told AFP.

"11 Share It’s been more than a year since Bill Gates stepped down from day-to-day operations at Microsoft to focus on his philanthropic efforts through the Gates Foundation. In that time, Gates has traveled the world (in the past week alone, he’s been in China, India, and today, New York), strategizing the best use of his enormous fortune and that of his foundation, which, also includes $31 billion of Warren Buffett’s money. Tonight at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, Gates shared a progress report of sorts in an interview with Matthew Bishop of The Economist, which also included some broader questions from the audience. What Gates Is Trying to Do Rather than spread his money over dozens of causes, Gates is focusing on a few specific issues, where he hopes his hands-on approach and vast resources will make a significant difference. In his case, those causes include providing necessary medicine and equipment to help stop the spread of disease, finding vaccines for the likes Malaria... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"8 November 2009 Sucking demigods' toes I sometimes wonder why people don't seem to feel embarrassed. They hold high positions; they can't be stupid to have gotten to where they are. Yet they kowtow to their political masters so low, they not only kiss their feet, but suck their toes. They would say the most absurd things to defend their masters against criticism, not in front of a classroom of kids, but in front of a plenary of lawyers visiting from the United States. In doing so, they achieve the exact opposite of what they think they are doing. Instead of fending off criticism, they give their audience proof that Singapore is a banana republic. I am of course referring to the suck toes speeches made by both the Law Minister K Shanmugam and the Chief Justice when the New York Bar Association held their convention in Singapore a week or two ago. Other bloggers have torn apart Shanmugam's speech [1], so I need only to keep my comments short. Basically, he said since investors,... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"[Microsoft's Bing + x(Wolfram|Alpha)] > Google? By Ryan Singel November 11, 2009 | 6:35 pm | Categories: Search Microsoft’s search engine Bing will soon feature results from the innovative Wolfram|Alpha web service that attempts to compute answers to searchers’ questions, rather than link to web pages. Bing and Wolfram announced Wednesday that Microsoft would begin using Wolfram Alpha’s service to power certain queries about math, health and nutrition as part of Bing’s attempt to differentiate itself from Google, which still controls 70 percent of the search market. That’s what Bill Gates is betting after checking out the answers from Wolfram’s computational search engine. Evidently, Gates questioned whether the search engine from math genius Stephen Wolfram could actually do math right, and once satisfied, signed a deal to pay Wolfram|Alpha for answers. So for instance, Bing users who want to compare the nutritional value of a banana versus an orange will get a computed answer piped... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"Singapore recruitment agency offers jobs for foreigners ONLY November 11, 2009 by admin Filed under Top News Leave a comment From our Correspondent A Singapore recruitment agency posted on its website a list for jobs for foreigners, but locals need not apply! Allied Manpower is a licensed recruitment agency in Singapore which claims to provide services in human resources and manpower management. It has over 29 years of proven experience in foreign recruitment. It offered a list of jobs for foreigners which can be easily filled by locals: As we can see from above, the jobs are offered only to specific nationalities such as Filipinos and Chinese nationals. Of late, senior cabinet ministers have stepped forward to defend the government’s pro-foreigner policy.

"AMK jumper Ng Chee Kiang has over $100K in CPF November 11, 2009 by admin Filed under Top News Leave a comment From our Correspondent The deceased Ng Chee Kiang who shocked the entire island by jumping to his death from 12 stories high after killing his two children was reported by Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao to have over $100,000 in his CPF account! According to a family friend, Mr Ng had saved more than $100,000 in his CPF after working for more than 10 years. His wife is the likely beneficiary of his CPF. Mr Ng was declared a bankrupt in 2003. A report from the Insolvency and Public Trustee’s Office shows that Mr Ng Chee Kiang’s financial problems arose through a combination of overspending, gambling and speculating in the stock market. Under Singapore law, CPF can only be used by Singaporeans to pay for housing. It is supposed to serve as a retirement fund for Singaporeans so that they don’t become a burden to the government when they grow old.

"Nov 11, 2009 Canadian attacks political sytem By Jeremy Au Yong POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT A CANADIAN lawyer with ties to opposition politician Chee Soon Juan has issued a 63-page 'white paper' attacking Singapore's political system and judiciary. The paper has attracted a 25-page response from the Singapore Government. The 63-page white paper was published on the website of Mr Robert Amsterdam, the co-founder of law firm Amsterdam & Peroff. The website of the Singapore Democratic Party, www.yoursdp.org, carries a link to the paper. The SDP is headed by Dr Chee who today remains a bankrupt after failing to pay debts incurred as a result of losing defamation suits filed by ruling party politicians. Amsterdam & Peroff, which has offices in London and Toronto, has offered free legal advice to the university lecturer-turned-opposition leader. The white paper, entitled The Repression of Political Freedoms in Singapore, provides an account of Dr Chee's political career.

"Apathy and Independence This was the speech delivered by the President at the Edu Dine dinner on 14 August 2009. We are often accused of not looking beyond our own narrow interests and the interests of our clients, and this is one kind of apathy. But apathy is a Singaporean trait not confined to lawyers, and even when we as lawyers want to act in the interests of Singaporeans as a whole, our efforts are not appreciated. My theme tonight is therefore not only apathy among lawyers but also apathy among the clients we serve, and I hope to develop this theme through three stories. My first story takes place in the 1970s. My friend Terry opened a Japanese restaurant in Hotel Negara (now Pan Pacific Orchard) called Steakery Matsuzaka. He decided it would be a good idea to install karaoke in his restaurant and let his customers sing after dinner. The Sunday Times carried a picture of happy diners warbling away around a jumbo teppanyaki table. The next day the police asked him to apply for a... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"The effusive praise President Barack Obama has for former Singaporean Prime Minister and now Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew is another gesture that has led many to wonder where the present administration sits on human rights issues. The forthcoming APEC summit in Singapore presents an opportunity for the president to set the record straight. Asia is vital for the Obama Administration for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the imperative that even perceptions of democracy must be judged against not just American values, but universal values. Amnesty International recently released an open letter to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper calling attention to this very topic. In it, the organisation urges him to uphold Canada's reputation as a human rights supporter while attending the APEC summit by addressing ongoing human rights concerns in the island nation. Among these concerns is the case of Dr. Chee Soon Juan, one which President Obama would be well-advised to consider.... more... - V@g38 from Bookmarklet

"The Foreign Talent debate: A Foreign Talent’s perspective November 11, 2009 by admin Filed under Opinion Leave a comment By Siva, Guest Columnist Not a single day in Singapore passes by without some debate on the huge influx of foreigners that Singapore is witnessing. If my memory serves me right, this trend started a few years ago and has steadily been gaining momentum. Accusations emanating from both camps such as ‘Singaporeans are xenophobic’ and ‘foreigners stealing jobs’ are being thrown around so often that they are in danger of turning banal. The Singapore government has been trying its best to maintain calm by assuring its citizens that foreigners are essential for Singapore’s future (or was it GDP?).

"There is a growing belief that the traditional method for doing good, giving money to a large charitable foundation, is broken. To confront this fracture, increasing numbers of passionate individuals who are motivated by doing meaningful work have started a new movement to launch self-sustaining, value-driven social enterprises. These enterprises epitomize entrepreneurship in its purest form, which is solving common social problems in an innovative way. Social entrepreneurs pioneer new approaches to address unmet needs while charitable recipients benefit from better investment in their human capital." - V@g38 from Bookmarklet
