			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are over one and a half billion ink cartridges consumed annually and this is set to continue to rise with greater print capability and the rise of digital photography allowing us to print photographs and work without the need for external specialists.</p>
<p>Most of these ink cartridges end up in landfill and this represents a huge waste of resources and after diapers, ink cartridges are the most environmentally difficult to break down.  Fortunately, modern methods of refilling and recycling ink and toner cartridges coupled with the high cost of buying them new means that there is a huge commercial benefit to be gained from using these products again.</p>
<p>With an ink toner cartridge costing around $200 for some makes of printer, the cartridge itself represents a significant dollar item with the total cost of printing.  Recycling the ink or toner cartridge means that we get the most effective use of it while minimizing the environmental impact of disposal in a landfill.  Even smaller lower value cartridges can be recycled and resold in a commercially viable way.  For many business and home users, the actual incentive for recycling tends not to be so great and that is why many cartridges simply end up in the trash.  A little research on your part will reveal a host of commercial and charitable organizations that will happily provide you with free post packs for you to send off the used cartridge or provide a drop off point in your local neighborhood for you to dispose of them safely and conveniently.</p>
<p>Many non-profit organizations have tapped into the ink cartridges recycling market as a means of improving their funds for altruistic purposes.  Charities that are currently using recycling cartridges to augment their funds include many children&#8217;s charities operating at home and abroad as well as leading cancer research groups.  If you are a local non-profit group, such as a church or local school, it is easy to set up a recycling cartridge program as many of the recycling companies that specialize in this market provide off the shelf resources for you to quickly market and operate a collection program.</p>
<p>Aside from helping raise funds for charities and non-profit groups, recycling ink and toner cartridges helps to protect the environment.  We&#8217;ve already mentioned how most cartridges end up in landfill, while the actual resources used in the manufacture of the cartridge case to begin with is substantial.  Putting a cartridge through a recycling process means that a new one need not be manufactured using valuable environmental resources, reducing energy consumption and creating one less cartridge to eventually be disposed of at the end of it&#8217;s life.  Some estimate that recycling cartridges can reduce waste and environmental pollution from these products by as much as 90% so it makes not only charitable commercial sense but environmental sense to recycle.</p>
<p>Remember, dropping your ink cartridge off at a recycle bin or posting it off in a free postage bag will take only a brief moment of your time, help someone else in need and save our environment.  There&#8217;s no reason not to do it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>What is a Sunk Cost?</b></p>
<p>A sunk cost is something that all companies and organizations should try to avoid whenever possible. Put simply, sunk costs are items that you have had to spend money on that you will never see again, or be able to get back in any way. For most organizations, it is necessary to take on certain sunk costs; however, many of them can be avoided by careful planning.</p>
<p>Streamlining the company&#8217;s costs not only helps to save your organization money, but will help to make your organization more efficient as well. An example of a common sunk cost for many organizations is proprietary software.</p>
<p>This software is rarely customizable and can be rather inflexible as your organization grows and faces new challenges. The licensing fee associated with proprietary software can be expensive and is considered a sunk cost since you will never be able to reverse the cost.</p>
<p><b>How Does it Effect <b>Non</b> Profits?</b></p>
<p><b>Non</b> <b>profit</b> organizations, in particular, should avoid sunk costs. A successful <b>non</b> <b>profit</b> understands that the less spent on running the organization, the better. It simply does not make sense to spend money on software that is not customizable.</p>
<p><b>Non</b> profits vary in organization and overall goals, so being able to customize your software is crucial to your <b>non</b> <b>profit</b>&#8217;s success. The success of most <b>non</b> <b>profit</b>&#8217;s lies in their efficiency. Because <b>non</b> <b>profit</b>&#8217;s handle the information of numerous volunteers and donators, it is vital that they have a system to be able to organize their contributors to ensure efficiency.</p>
<p><b>Open Source Software for <b>Non</b> Profits</b></p>
<p>Open source software is a fantastic solution for <b>non</b> <b>profit</b> organizations seeking software that can be customized to their specific needs. Also, open source software cuts the unwanted sunk costs of proprietary software, saving the <b>non</b> <b>profit</b> additional money while providing even greater services than the average proprietary software.</p>
<p>Open source refers to the open source code made available to the <b>non</b> <b>profit</b>. With access to this code, a <b>non</b> <b>profit</b> is able to completely customize the way that the software will work for them. This ensures that all of the aspects of the <b>non</b> <b>profit</b> are taken care of and that the <b>non</b> <b>profit</b> can run much more efficiently with the help of the software.</p>
<p>For more information about <b>non</b> <b>profit</b> open source software solutions, contact a constituent relationship management <a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mpoweropen.com">open source software provider</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Non</b>-<b>profit</b> debt relief is not a difficult task. All you need to do is some research and find what is right for you.</p>
<p>Generally by consolidation you assign a process under which several bad credit card debt loan, credit card debt etc. are dealt tactfully. In consolidation you negotiate the rate of interest that will ultimately define by how much the borrower&#8217;s payment will be reduced and what the overall settlement will look like. So any money apart from your normal payment is applied solely towards the principal of loan.</p>
<p><b>How Does This Relief Work?</b></p>
<p>Debit can be dealt with in a number of ways. Especially the arrears with large amounts can also be dealt with the help of mortgage or other security interest over some of borrower&#8217;s property, in which case the creditor will have some right over the property in the situation that the defaulter becomes unable to repay the debit and defaults on loan.</p>
<p>Debt consolidation allows a person to discuss his financial position with a lender who may be willing to take up the burden of paying off his arrears in exchange for one monthly payment made to the lender.</p>
<p><b>Companies Involved</b></p>
<p><b>Non</b>-<b>profit</b> debt relief companies have stepped in to genuinely help out customers in handling their loans like credit card debt, bad credit card debt loan. Their main aim is to help the customer by providing such a solution, which would actually crack down the problem and give them suitable aid. Such companies usually are willing to help the customers reduce the amount of liability by a certain percentage. The main reason for the risk is that in order to get low interest rate you will need to present some sort of collateral as back up for your loan. A number of groups, individuals are products are available in the market to help the customers in their credit card debt. Although these options are available but at times people prefer not to get this assistance rather they choose to work out something on their own without any help from these companies.</p>
<p>Although your own negotiation may also work out but it costs time, creates stress and at times a good amount of money is involved. Even these companies might be <b>non</b>-profitable on papers but that doesn&#8217;t mean they are not earning from their clients. And if they are earning but the cost is not high, then a great amount of stress is involved in it. It is always more convenient to make one payment rather than several. Or you can improve your cash flow in short term by reducing monthly outings but the time is considerable factor. Thus taking help of such companies can be fruitful.</p>
<p>There are a number of ways through which genuine services is available. More information can be collected from Better Business Bureau and other similar institutions.</p>
<p><b>Non</b>-<b>profit</b> debt relief can be helpful as it provides debt relief at a very nominal cost in comparison to <a target="_new" href="http://www.best-debt-consolidation-program.com/credit_card_debt_consolidation.html" rel="nofollow,external">credit card debt</a> through tools like <a target="_new" href="http://www.best-debt-consolidation-program.com/bad_credit_debt_consolidation.html" rel="nofollow,external">bad credit debt</a> loan etc. For more information visit <a target="_new" href="http://www.best-debt-consolidation-program.com/index.html" rel="nofollow,external">best debt consolidation program</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Parent-teacher conferences can be a challenging time for all involved:  the parents, the students, and the teacher.  The parents may or may not feel comfortable in the classroom due to a bad experience as a child or lack of communication from previous teachers.  The student is worried about getting a bad report (even the honor roll students).  The teacher is concerned about confrontational parents or no-shows.  If all parties involved are well-informed and are made to feel a part of the child&#8217;s education; hopefully, none of the above will be evident in this quarterly meeting.</p>
<p>It is imperative that communication is made to be a vital part of the child&#8217;s learning year, and by every teacher he or she has had.  Although, the current teacher cannot control what has happened in years past, he or she certainly can be the changing factor this year.  Begin the year by inviting parents wholeheartedly into the classroom to see the daily events and routines.  While some parents may welcome this route, others (who may have to work or do not have reliable transportation), may opt out of these visits.</p>
<p>The teacher must try another route to make contact.  Start next with monthly good behavior phone calls.  Please do not (I repeat &#8211; do not), mention anything other than the good behavior, even if something just happened that day.  Make the call short and sweet.  Parents will be surprised and pleased that the teacher is calling for something other than bad news and will start to associate friendlier feelings toward the teacher.</p>
<p>Lastly, do not allow for any surprises.  Semimonthly, send home a progress report.  Even if the parent gets an automated call or email listing students grades.  Do it anyway.  It is that extra step which will make the parent feel as though you are really trying to get the message across.  That way, come conference day, the student and the parent will already be aware of the current grade situation and hopefully will be able to meet to discuss new goals and strategies to achieve those goals.</p>
<p>By working together, instead of separately, all parties involved in the parent-teacher conference will feel important.  Many things involving school are all about feelings, rather than black-and-white grades.  It is as important for the teacher to understand background, families, and individuals within the classroom, as it is for the child to know how to add or spell.  Both go hand in hand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Positive media attention can help your organization achieve its goals. You can raise awareness about your cause, attract volunteers and garner the support of donors. Before you put the media spotlight on your agency, however, develop a media relations program that will yield positive results. Follow these seven steps to take advantage of this important marketing tool:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Understand what media exposure can and cannot do.&nbsp; </strong>Before you decide to aggressively pursue media attention, prepare for what may happen. Media attention puts the spotlight on your organization and programs. As with any spotlight, it makes a good thing shine. It can also accentuate the negative, such as an organization that is not well run or a program that doesn&#8217;t live up to expectations. Media attention won&#8217;t improve your organization; you need to do that prior to launching your media campaign.</li>
<li>
<strong>Plan. </strong>Your media relations campaign will only be successful if you develop a workable plan that is tied to your organizational goals and then work that plan consistently. First, decide what you want to accomplish through media exposure. Do you want to introduce a new program, make the public aware of an issue that is important to your organization or develop goodwill in the community? Once you have established your goals, develop a calendar. Plan to contact the media on a regular basis. The information communicated should reflect your goals but not be self-serving.</li>
<li>
<strong>Designate a spokesperson. </strong>As part of your plan, designate one individual as the media contact and spokesperson. If more than one person is in charge, your message may become diluted or your organization misrepresented.</li>
<li>
<strong>Understand the media. </strong>Before you email a press release or pitch a story idea to an editor, study the publication. Be aware of its readership and their interests, as well as recent stories. You will waste your time and annoy your media contacts if you pitch a story that has no relevance to the publication or already has been told.</li>
<li>
<strong>Think like a reporter.</strong> What&#8217;s exciting news to you may not be of interest to a reporter. Before you send out a press release, ask yourself if it would be of interest to the readers of a particular publication. Is it timely? Is it newsworthy? If it&#8217;s not a timely news story, are you presenting ideas in a new way? Look outside your organization for news. For example, are there important trends that will impact your mission? Will a new piece of legislation have a positive or negative effect on a particular program? Is there a local slant to a national story?</li>
<li>
<strong>Understand a reporter&#8217;s needs. </strong>Reporters are always looking for good stories. It&#8217;s what sells newspapers. To get noticed, you need to provide accurate information and a compelling story. Check your facts. Most reporters work on tight deadlines. Find out when these are and provide information in a timely manner. Reporting is a 24/7 occupation. If you want to get media exposure, make your website reporter friendly, with a wealth of information about your organization as well as contact information for key people.</li>
<li>
<strong>Write like a reporter. </strong>Develop professional press releases. Answer the traditional questions in the first few sentences &#8212; who, what, when, where, why and how. Provide pertinent details in order of importance. Write a catchy headline that reflects the story and piques the interest of the reader. Always include contact information in case the reporter has follow-up questions.</li>
<li>
<strong>Be persistent.&nbsp; </strong>Don&#8217;t give up if your press release isn&#8217;t picked up every time or a reporter doesn&#8217;t cover your event. If a major news story supplants your event, follow up with a phone call or email and supply a media packet providing information about your event. Keep newsworthy information flowing to the media and you will get results.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<br />Gaining positive media exposure takes time but it is well worth the effort. Plan your strategy, think like a reporter and follow through for positive results.</p>
