Interreligious Pedagogy: Reflections and Applications in Honor of Judith A. Berling
Date Reviewed: January 17, 2019
In 2016, former students of Judith A. Berling, renowned for her interreligious pedagogy, held a symposium in honour of her retirement from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. This collection of essays is the result. Readers looking for an introduction to Berling's pedagogy are advised to consult Berling's seminal work, Understanding Other Religious Worlds: A Guide to Interreligious Education (Orbis, 2004) – affectionately referred to by her students as the "Purple Book." In this volume, readers will find a wide-ranging set of contexts within which Berling's students have creatively applied and extended Berling's method, especially her five "threads" of theological learning.
The seven essays are introduced by the editors and bookended by a preface and concluding reflections by Berling. In her reflections, Berling discusses the essays in an order that may be a more productive way of reading them: chapters 5 and 2 (issues in teaching today's undergraduates); 7 and 4 (extending her pedagogy beyond the religion or theology classroom); 6 and 3 (attending to the social process of 'othering'); and 8 (a meta-reflection on conceptual frames and assumptions). Preceding each essay, oddly for a book, is an abstract and list of key words. A remnant of the editing process seems to appear in the last paragraph on page 73.
While very diverse, the essays all attend to the importance of negotiating differences and crossing boundaries. Examples from the specific pedagogical experiences of the writers abound; while most deal with theology and religion, particularly within an Asian context and usually from a Christian setting, some essays boldly address the non-religious and secular, or areas outside the discipline of religious studies such as health sciences. The writers also demonstrate Berling's emphasis on student-centred and collaborative learning, and the importance of the teacher "getting out of the way" (see Berling's influential essay by the same title in Teaching Theology and Religion 1.1 [1998] 31-35).
A number of essays stand out. Emily Wu (chapter 4) shows that gathering oral histories can paradoxically silence voices, and advocates a stance of "cultural humility" rather than aspiring to "cultural competence." Elizabeth Gordon (chapter 7) suggests "spirituality" and "wisdom sharing," instead of "religion" and "interreligious dialog," as mediating language to include the secular in articulating traditions of human flourishing. Joanne Doi (chapter 6) creatively demonstrates the pedagogical value of pilgrimage (in this case to the second World War site of a Japanese concentration camp in the United States).
Berling underlines the urgency of the pedagogical task outlined in this book: "Understanding and negotiating difference, creating conversations and relationships across boundaries of difference, is one of the most important challenges in our diverse world" (130). Her students have bountifully indicated how they have each manifested this urgent task in their varied careers due to Berling's profound influence. "Berling's vocation, teaching, and scholarship have had a ripple effect in widening circles, indeed building the foundations of cross-cultural and intercultural understanding" (87).

Jakarta [Indonesia], Oct. 15 (ANI): The Indonesian Transportation Ministry has grounded three Boeing 737 NG (Next Generation) planes operated by two airlines following the findings of cracks in the aircraft, an official said on Tuesday.
Quoting Airworthiness and Plane Operation director, Capt. Avirianto, Xinhua news agency reported that the three grounded planes were operated by state-run airlines Garuda Indonesia and private-owned Sriwijaya Air.
Grounding of those planes would continue until further recommendations were issued by Boeing, the director said.
"Furthermore, we advise all national airlines operating Boeing 737NG including Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Batik Air and Sriwijaya Air to periodically conduct maintenance program every 3,500 Flight Cycle Number (FCN) that suits with Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) mechanism," he said.
Cracks in those planes were found in the ones which already had 30,000 FCN, he said.
The cracks were found in one of three Boeing 737NG operated by Garuda Indonesia, while in Sriwijaya Air cracks were found in two of five planes.
The grounding order was issued after inspections carried out by the ministry to follow suit airworthiness directives issued by international aviation agencies to check the Boeing 737NG planes operated by all airlines in the world.
Indonesia has banned operation of Boeing 737 Max 8 plane after a deadly crash of Lion Air flight on October 29 last year that killed all 189 people aboard. (ANI)

text: The proposed amendments to the Public Offering of Securities Act (POSA) caused sharp disputes between the drafters and the representatives of public companies, who were displeased with the new stipulations. As compared to the version for amendments, about which the BANKER weekly wrote in the beginning of September, the rights of the State Securities Commission (SSC) have been considerably increased. At the same time, the heads of companies whose securities are traded on the stock exchange, will be unpleasantly surprised by new restrictions. They refer to the revealing of information, the increase of capital, and the ways for their writing-off from SSC's register.For example, article 114 of the Act widens considerably the rights of the general meeting in the operational management of the issuers' actovities. In future the general meeting will have to express its opinion on deals in more than 10% of a company's assets (sales, rentals, or pledges) as per the latest certfied accounting balance sheet if relations with connected persons are concerned. The same provisions hold true in cases when a public company has liabilities, exceeding 10% of its assets.When a connected person is not a party in a deal, the general meeting should express its stance when a sum exceeding 33% of the company's assets is transferred. In all cases, transferrence of assets is effected at their market price.The amendments to the POSE stipulate that each public company is obliged to nominate its corporative secretary, who should provide an efficient link between the company' management body and its shareholders. The secretary should have appropriate qualification and experience for the fulfillment of these obligations. Practice in other countries shows that no new employee is appointed to that position and it is usually held by the chief accountant.The regime for companies' writing-off from SSC's register will be tightened, as the BANKER weekly predicted two months ago. The only new thing here is that there will be a slight opportunity for writing-off without making a trade proposal to the other shareholders for the purchase of their paper. Such a chance is stipulated for companies with less than 50 shareholders and whose equity capital is under BGL200,000. In all other cases the owner of more than 90% of a public company's assets shall be obliged to make a such a proposal before writting it off SSC's register. The regulations for a trade offer, however, will be stricter - the value of the securities should calculated through at least three generally accepted methods for evealuation. The trade offer should be accompanied by a price justification, including a description of the criteria and way, used for its determination. Even in case the offer complies with the regulatory framework, this shall not be a guarantee that the majority owner could write off the respective cmpany from the public register. In order to do that, a least 50% of the holders of the remaining shares should sell them or vote for their writing-off at a specially called general meeting. The requirements for a minimum price remain and it cannot be lower than the market price for the last three months or than the highest price, paid by the majority shareholder. A trade offer should be published not only by shareholders whose share is over 50% of the company's capital, but also those who hold two thirds of it. Furthermore, a person with more than half of the voting shares shall not be entitled to acquire over 3% of a certain company's shares within a year without placing a trade offer. The bill's drafters stipulate an opportunity for the government to approve even heavier terms for publishing a trade offer. In its future order, for example, the cabinet could inlude not only shares but other kinds of securities as well. Under the new provisions, a trade offer is admissible in cases when a sharehodler owns at least 5% of a public company's capital and is willing to raise his share to over 33 per cent. The projected legislative amendments certainly increase SSC's role as a regulatory body. The salaries of its members will be increased to reach the remuneration, received by the Bulgarian National Bank. The SSC shall be entitled to issue administrative acts, litigate in court deals closed in violation of POSE's provisions, and decisions of general meetings. The amendments also make easier investors' access to SSC's registers.The enforcement of the new stipulations for increasing the capital of public companies are doubtlessly expected with the greatest interest. Several months ago it became clear that this would be possible only through issuing trading rights. The last theoretical possibility for increasing the capital under a condition will be eliminated. The loophole, which has not been used by anyone so far, was that a public company could transfer bonds in voting shares. In that way the holders of debt securities so far had an chance to become a majority at a general meeting of shareholders, the more so if the holder of a majority package in an enterprise wass behind them. Furthermore, the issuing value of new securities should be fully paid on their registration. Thus, capital increase by paying just 25% of the stocks' price with an option for paying off the balance within two years, for example, shall be eliminated. The terms for participation in the purchase of shares and in the capital increase have been amended, too. The drafters have also made everything possible to ensure full transparency of teh procedures in these cases.The new provision in the drafted amendments, which obliges public companies to make public their accounting reports each quarter, will be also in favour of the investors. So far they had to do that twice a year.

While many opted for over-the-top ensembles, Teyana Taylor slayed our lives last night (Aug. 27) at the 2017 Video Music Awards in the simplest (and, most epic) tribute of the evening. The singer/dancer won the night while channeling showing of her killer abs in a modern reboot of a look worn by Janet Jackson at the same awards show in 1995.
[SEE ALSO: Hot Hair Moments (And Misses) From The 2017 VMAs Red Carpet]
Two decades later, the Fade dancer proves that classic style is timeless while rocking the short-sleeve v-neck crop top and black wide-legged plants look.
She even rocked similar style lettering on the back of her shirt, changing up Janet's original "Pervert 2" to "Underrated 7" and showed off a modernized short cut styled by celeb stylist arrogant_tae123.
The similarities did not stop there, either. Teyana also took home the same Best Choreography award as Janet did, nabbing a Moon Person for her now legendary performance in Kanye West's Fade video.
What more can we say, but come through Teyana!

Last month rapper Remy Ma was booked on misdemeanor assault charges after she allegedly punched her Love and Hip Hop co-star Brittany Taylor in the face [click here if you missed that].
Now Remy has been offered a plea deal after additional charges were filed...
From TMZ
Remy Ma's been hit with a new criminal complaint for allegedly punching Brittney Taylor ... and there are some very significant updates.
Prosecutors filed 4 charges against the rapper Friday -- 2 counts of assault in the third degree, 1 count of aggravated harassment in the second degree, and 1 count of harassment in the second degree ... all of which are misdemeanors.
prosecutors have updated the time in which they claim the attack went down, from 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM. We're told they still do not have any video of the alleged attack.
However, the timing is important because as we told you ... Remy claimed she had visual proof she was nowhere near the venue or Taylor at the time she was accused of punching her, which was 9:30. Now that's been updated to an hour later to match up with the rapper being present at the concert.
Though she's facing 4 charges, we're told Remy has been offered a deal to plead guilty to just the top charge -- assault in the third degree -- and the rest will be dropped. She'd also have to enter a long-term anger management program.So far Remy has NOT accepted the deal.

We hope that other announcements like the Pradhan Mantri Research Fellowship & the Research allocation would also spur healthcare research. With Rs 1200 crore being allocated to the National Health Policy, we look forward to a continued impetus to the National Programme for Control of Blindness which is one of the most successful public-private healthcare programmes.
It would be interesting to see how these would be funded, the finance minister indicated a widening of the tax base and an additional 1 per cent cess, we only hope that the 3.5 per cent fiscal deficit does not force a rethink on these allocations later. Also it would be good to expand the ease of doing business to ease of working with insurance & schemes and simplifying the process for health care providers.

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves took a significant, if limited, step away from their "tomahawk chop" chant on Wednesday ahead of Game 5 in the team's National League division series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Cardinals pitcher Ryan Helsley, a member of the Cherokee Nation, had criticized the use of the chant earlier in the playoff series.
For the decisive Game 5, the Braves said in a statement that they had decided not to distribute red foam tomahawks — long a fixture at Braves games — on the seats at SunTrust Park. The team also said that the thumping backup music to the team's chant would not be played over the park's sound system if Helsley was in the game. The Cardinals, however, did not call on him during their 13-1 victory.
The Braves' tomahawk logo still appeared on the park's video screen during the presentation of Atlanta's starting lineup, and a tomahawk was painted onto the grass behind home plate. But as first pitch approached on Wednesday evening, the team did not play the chant's audio track, which stadium workers have used for years to prompt fans to gesture.
"We will continue to evaluate how we activate elements of our brand, as well as the overall in-game experience," the Braves' statement said. "We look forward to continued dialogue with those in the Native American community after this postseason concludes."
The change in tradition came six days after Helsley, a 25-year-old rookie reliever, pitched in Atlanta for the first time. Soon after, Helsley told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he thought the cheer was "a misrepresentation of the Cherokee people or Native Americans in general."
He also said that the chant depicted Native Americans "in this kind of caveman-type people way who aren't intellectual. They are a lot more than that."
At a news conference on Tuesday, Mike Shildt, the manager of the Cardinals, said he supported Helsley's position on the chant.
"I don't think he's got anything malicious toward it," Shildt said. "I think he was just honest about it. And I respect that completely."
The Braves have faced years of criticism about their nickname as well as the team's regular use of the chant, and their shift on Wednesday was striking in its swiftness.
The change came toward the end of a season in which the Cleveland Indians stopped using their Chief Wahoo logo. Rob Manfred, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, had urged the team to abandon the caricature that Cleveland first included on its uniforms in 1948.
A spokesman for Major League Baseball did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Braves' decision on Wednesday appeared to have a limited effect, for now, on spectators. Within the first few pitches of Game 5, fans began the chant anyway.

Bengals 2017 roster: 4 beginner draft alternatives are unsuccessful in the direc
It roster cutdown weekend and the Cincinnati Bengals incorporate assembled their present-day 53-gentleman roster. At this time, whilst it practically finalized, there are a handful of moves the Bengals will be developing prior to the time opener from the Baltimore Ravens upon September 10. With 3rd string quarterback Jeff Driskel ailing against 2 weakened hands and on the lookout in direction of be out above 8 months, the staff will be bringing back again a now-waived participant, or scour the waiver cord for somebody else. Cincinnati essential in the direction of incorporate Driskel toward the 53-guy roster right before shifting him in direction of produce him suitable for the Hurt E book designation in direction of return. He can be moved toward IR upon Monday.Nonetheless, whenever on your own appearance throughout the 2017 squad the coaches comprise location alongside one another, there are some obvious omissions. Just one of these occurs in the direction of be 4 of the team 11 draft options not currently being Give upon the present-day roster.By now, 7th-spherical decide on Mason Schreck is headed in direction of I.R., nevertheless 5th-spherical alternatives Jake Elliott and J.J. Dielman, as perfectly as 6th-spherical choose, Brandon Wilson, are by now gamers the employees is heading in the direction of try out and obtain upon towards the coach squad https://www.shopteambengals.com/Clayton_Fejedelem_Jersey. Fundamentally, 36 % of the choices the personnel utilized inside April are not by now upon the 53-person roster. Comparable Cincinnati Bengals 53-male roster Recapping just about every roster circulation the Bengals manufactured upon Saturday NFL roster cuts: Bengals waive Will Clarke Right before we comprehensively start out speaking to into ponder the team manner of surgical treatment this offseason, we include toward supply them the comfort of the question upon a pair of things. Hindsight apart, 2 other inexperienced persons did crank out the top roster inside undrafted cost-free brokers Cethan Carter and Hardy Nickerson, Jr. The personnel did generate it identified this offseason that starting to be 11 inexperienced persons upon the greatest roster would be challenging. When all 11/53 is 20 per cent of the roster and taking 20 p.c of the roster stuffed will newcomers may well not be excellent.Nevertheless, why did the employees spot thus substantially inventory into preserving therefore several alternatives as soon as they realized it would be challenging in direction of locate a Space for all of them? Normally Clayton Fejedelem Jersey, including youthful skill all through the draft is more affordable than diving into outdoors free of charge firm (which the Bengals shy absent in opposition to), still why not offer some of individuals options in the direction of go up and transfer for high-quality previously mentioned amount of money? Quite, how the staff operated with these kinds of 4 newcomers who are not upon the previous roster was a thoughts-scratcher. For Wilson, his predicament with the club is in all probability the utmost confusing. A multipurpose defensive back again and exclusive groups star inside university, the Bengals experienced massive systems for him. They manufactured the unusual stream up towards obtain him just after they amassed added draft collateral (versus shifting again within the moment spherical and subsequently grabbing Joe Mixon) and snagged him inside Spherical 6. Similar Bengals exchange Bene Benwikere in direction of Cowboys Bengals come to a decision in direction of move with Randy Bullock at kicker; Jake Elliott waived Then, veteran one of a kind groups ace Cedric Peerman landed upon IR, apparently paving the route for a gentleman which include Wilson in direction of seal his roster destiny. The Bengals induced Wilson off of the NFI simply just ahead of the preseason finale in opposition to the Colts and then…they waived him Saturday afternoon. He may well contain simply trapped upon NFI if the Bengals didn understand for certainly he was transferring in direction of produce the slice. That route, he could possibly keep on being with the personnel and contend yet again future 12 months for an prospect. The Bengals not simply just made use of a draft pick out toward decide on Wilson yet traded up, delivering absent an additional draft choose, toward seize him.In the direction of be realistic, the Bengals gave Dielman, Elliott and Schreck various levels of chances in direction of get their work and they specifically felt they didn exhibit them adequate https://www.shopteambengals.com/William_Jackson_Jersey, or couldn keep on being balanced. Nevertheless, there incorporates in the direction of be a really feel of ignored prospects within the latter 50 % of this year draft, directly?The Fantastic information is that the skill the personnel accrued in other places inside of the program not merely created the staff members, still glimpse toward be incredibly promising. Jordan Willis, Jordan Evans and Carl Lawson had been a few of the least complicated general defensive gamers of the preseason, whilst Ryan Glasgow was a Professional Soccer Attention beast within just the early online games. On top of that, Joe Mixon seems to be in direction of be a budding movie star and receivers Josh Malone and John Ross incorporate shiny futures. Even though we shouldn be comprehensively stunned at a handful of choices not producing the Bengalstop roster, perhaps the staff should really study a lesson upon their generally-conservative tactics with the draft Hardy Nickerson Jersey. If they get even further draft alternatives in just the coming a long time, which they now contain within just 2018 through a exchange with the Patriots amongst Marquis Bouquets and 2019 once the Bene Benwikere exchange with the Cowboys, they shouldn be reluctant toward sacrifice a decide on or 2 inside buy in direction of acquire a long run significant-have an impact on participant. What do oneself believe that of the Bengals2017 roster and the selection of draft selections who unsuccessful in direction of generate the slice?Respuesta

OMG, falafels. They've got to be one of my most favorite meals. For lunch or dinner, you really can't go wrong with 3-4 falafel balls wrapped with salad and garlic sauce in some bread.
Well, these are different. Don't get me wrong, these are delicious. The flavor is amazing, they're adorable, make me want to hold them all day long whispering "my precious"…but they're not crispy. Just being honest here – if you're looking for crispy, look for another recipe. This one's the lazy type.
There's no soaking chickpeas, no frying them, no nothing. Let me paint you a really bad picture. I took a can of chickpeas, added some seeds, vegetables and spices and pulsed that whole thing in my food processor and then formed small balls and baked them in the oven with some olive oil. That is it. Not genius, but I loved them.
I know, I know, I know. You need to use soaked dry chickpeas to make the falafels crispier, more beautiful and talented. But I didn't. Sue me.
The one time I actually followed this kind of recipe years ago, I still remember. Those falafels were delicious, but I will never forget it because of all the gas I was producing after. I had become a danger to the environment. I know I'm disgusting. TMI. Always wondered what that abbreviation means. Someone let me know FIY. Yolo.
Back to the real world and this recipe. Besides the falafels I made some sesame garlic sauce, a tomato and cucumber salad, my hummus and added some grilled vegetables and was a happy person. Now let's make these.
This easy baked falafel recipe uses canned chickpeas and is a tasty plant-based dinner or lunch!
- 2 cups chickpeas, canned
- 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 cup chopped parsley (or other greens)
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt (taste first!)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds, ground
- hummus
- tomato cucumber salad
- 1-2 tbsp tahini
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp lemon
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Place all falafel ingredients in a food processor and pulse. You should get a chunky mixture (not smooth!) that easily sticks together and can be formed into small balls. Once you have the mixture, taste and add salt if needed.
- Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Then start scooping the mixture and forming balls with your hands. I used a spoon for this and had my hands oiled. Cover a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the balls you form on it. I got 16 pieces using that mixture.
- Put the baking tray in the lower middle of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping the falafels halfway through, they should be golden-brown. Then take out of the oven.
- Serve in a pita, tortilla, lettuce leaf (for lettuce wraps) or in a bowl with hummus, salad and tahini sauce.
- For the tahini sauce you need to mix tahini with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp water, mix until you get a creamy sauce and add the minced garlic.
- Enjoy!

'Earth Defence Force: Iron Rain' game review: Shoot giant bugs and save the world in this hectic PlayStation 4 exclusive
Visuals may be low-quality but the game's crazy enemies make your efforts worthwhile in this budget co-op alien shooter
Visuals may be low-quality but the game's crazy enemies make your efforts worthwhile in this budget co-op alien shooter
If your dream is to save the Earth from gigantic insectoid aliens with nothing but an energy weapon in your hands and a jetpack on your back, then Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain is for you. Despite its obviously low-res visuals and repetitive gameplay, it's a fun little mindless third-person shooter that you can play through once with your friends and never think about it again.
After single-handedly saving the human race from the alien invaders known as Aggressors seven years ago, you are the legendary hero of the titular Earth Defense Force.
Unfortunately, the aliens have returned with a vengeance, so it's time to suit up in your Power Armour exoskeleton, select one of many increasingly outrageous weapons, and help turn back the threat once more.
Being a budget spin-off title that was made with a smaller development team, the visuals are … minimalistic to say the least. Character models are blocky and low-quality, while environments for the stages are frequently reused. However, there is one saving grace visually, and that is the design of the huge and creative enemy aliens that you will murder by the thousands.
Massive tank-sized ants, enormous tarantulas that leap over buildings in a single bound, squid-like aliens that shoot energy death rays from glowing tentacles … these are just a few of the amazing ideas that the developers have come up with, and the enemies get even crazier as you progress. It seems they have made a conscious choice to focus their limited resources on creating great alien foes, and it really shows.
Another plus is the gameplay and shooting mechanics, which are quite good, with responsive controls and a unique, special ability button that changes according to the type of Power Armour you are equipped with. For example, the standard "Trooper" gets a quick dodge roll, while the more mobile "Jet Lifter" can fly for a limited time. Players can experiment which type of armour suits their playing style the most.
The general gameplay loop is repetitive but still satisfying, with each mission only lasting around 10 minutes. Fallen enemies drop different coloured gems, which you'll need to unlock new weapons and upgrades, and progression feels tough but fair. There are also some quirky ideas incorporated into the weapons, such as one assault rifle that fires very weak bullets normally but randomly fires a superbullet that kills an enemy in one hit every once in a while. It's creative gems like this that push Iron Rain above your average budget co-op shooter.
Finally, if the seemingly endless stream of alien invaders is too much for you to handle alone, enlist a friend to join the fight. You can play local split-screen co-op with a buddy on the couch, or connect with up to five other players online to push back the alien threat. Split-screen might become a little hectic on a smaller TV and the frame rates will slow down quite a bit if you're rocking the normal PlayStation 4 instead of the Pro version, but these types of games are always more fun with a friend.
Overall, Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain is a fine budget title if you need a quick shooter fix but don't want to jump into the competitive nature of battle royale games such as Apex: Legends or Fortnite. It's good for a cooperative session with friends where you can bond, make fun of each other's epic fails, and save the Earth from giant alien bugs together.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a unique type of water filtration that uses a semi-permeable, super thin membrane with holes tiny enough to pass clean water through at the same time rejecting bigger molecules such as dissolved salts and many other impurities including bacteria.
Reverse osmosis is used to create highly purified water for your drinking water systems in Winnipeg, food and beverage processing, industrial boilers, Pharmaceutical production, seawater desalination, and multiple other applications. It has been a valuable technology for purifying your water for more than a century and commercialized since the early 60's
A reverse osmosis system water purification system is constructed around its individual membranes. Each individual membrane is a spiral wound sheet of part-permeable material. Membranes appear in 2-inch, 4-inch, and 8-inch diameter with the 4- and 8-inch diameter sizes often used in the water filtration industry.
The industry standard is a 40-inch length so that membranes from different reverse osmosis water purification manufacturers are interchangeable in filter equipment systems. One of the main measurements of a reverse osmosis membrane is its square footage. Membranes are available in the range of 350-450 square feet on the surface area.
Part-permeable membranes were initially constructed using cellulose acetate (CA) but later the water filter industry switched primarily to the use of a light film composite (TFC) being located on top of a tougher substrate. TFC membranes are often used in today's water purification industry.
Reverse osmosis is a continuously operating water treatment technology that uses high pressure to pass your Winnipeg water through a thin membrane and thereby removes by separating the impurities from water.
RO works by reversing the principle of osmosis, the regular tendency of water with dissolved salts to go through a membrane from lower to a higher salt value. This process is found throughout nature. Plants use it to soak up water and nutrients from the soil. In humans and other animals, our kidneys use osmosis to soak up water from blood.
In your RO system, pressure (likely from a pump) is used to overtake natural osmotic pressure, forcing feedwater with it haul of dissolved salts and many other impurities through a semipermeable membrane that will remove a high percentage of your impurities. The end result is highly purified water.
The rejected impurities and salts concentrate at the top of the membrane and are pushed from the system to drain other processes. In a normal commercial industrial application, 75% of the feedwater is fully purified. In procedures in which water conservation is needed, 85% of the feedwater is purified.
A Reverse Osmosis system uses cross-filtration, where the solution crosses the filter with 2 outlets: the contaminated water goes one way and the fresh filtered water goes another way. To reduce buildup of pollutants, the cross-flow filtration process allows water to clear away contaminant buildup and with enough turbulence to allow the membrane surface to be clean.
Individual membranes are dropped into a single housing, which can accommodate up to 6 membranes in series. Then housings are grouped into parallel flow streams named a "stage". A single RO system can have as many as three stages in a series.
The benefit of using reverse osmosis stages in series is reducing the wastewater. In efficient reverse osmosis stage systems, wastewater will be reduced to 15% of the total water flow, whereas reject flow from an individual membrane alone can be up to 50%.
A complete reverse osmosis system also includes a pretreatment cartridge filtration, a controls system, and a pressure pump. In a small reverse osmosis system, the controls may be as basic as rotameters and valves. A larger reverse osmosis system will contain temperature, flow and pressure transmitters, also including control valves operated from a human machine interface or programmable logic controller.
Bigger systems also use variable frequency drives for the pressure pump and often energy recovery devices. Winnipeg Water Softeners offers a full line of small to large residential reverse osmosis systems.
The Brains
Most popular water softeners come with an automatic regenerating system. The simplest type has an electric timer that recharges and flushes the system on a regular schedule. During recharging, soft water is not available.
Another type of control uses a computer that watches how much water is used. When enough water has gone through the mineral tank to have depleted the beads of sodium, the computer activates regeneration. These softeners usually have reserve resin capacity, so that a portion of soft water will be available during recharging.
Another type of control utilizes a mechanical water meter to measure water consumption and initiate recharging. The advantage of this particular system is that electrical components are not required, and the mineral tank is only recharged when necessary. Softened water is always available when it is equipped with two mineral tanks, even when the unit is recharging.
Judging Water Hardness
We offer test kits that help you determine the hardness of your water.
Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (GPG) or milligrams per liter (mg/l, equivalent to parts per million, or ppm). Water up to 1 GPG (or 17.1 mg/l) is considered soft, and water from 60 to 120 GPG is considered moderately hard. A water softener's effectiveness depends on how hard the incoming water is. Water over 100 GPG may not be completely softened.

Learning Effectively with Multimedia
June 20, 2019 at 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
|422 Dunton Tower
Facilitators: Maristela Petrovic-Dzerdz (EDC)
How we learn is shaped by how the human mind works. As a consequence, we need to carefully utilize a variety of teaching and learning media – words, pictures, sounds – to promote effective learning.
In this workshop, we'll introduce the basics of the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML) and discuss how we can apply the principles derived from it when designing instruction, whether we teach a live class, use presentation slides or design online lessons.
Working in groups, you'll analyze provided examples of learning with multimedia, and suggest improvements based on the examined principles. You'll leave this session with practical skills that will inspire you to rethink how to effectively use multimedia in your teaching for the benefit of your learners.
This is part of Course Design Fundamentals, offered by TLS. Participants who complete five workshops and a guided reflection of the experience will receive a letter of completion to include in their teaching dossier.
Space is limited. Please register in advance by filling out the form below.

Botox for Men
Botox has gained in popularity amongst men in recent years, find out why and what the most popular options are
Botox (or Botulinum Toxin Type A) is a popular cosmetic treatment that helps men reduce their lines and wrinkles as they age. It requires no surgery and is often used by men to smooth out facial lines, frown lines and horizontal lines on the forehead. Treatments can take as little as 15 minutes, and there is no subsequent downtime. Results last for several months before requiring any re-treatment.
Botox has gained in popularity amongst men in recent years, with male celebrities such as Simon Cowell admitting to using Botox, and stats from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noting a 337% increase in men receiving Botox injections since 2000. This is even ahead of the pace of dermal fillers among male patients, which has gone up by over 86% since 2000.
However, many men still see cosmetic procedures as a women's procedure. As a result, some places have tried to destigmatize the procedure with names like "Brotox", but in reality, the recent increase is because more men are exercising, dieting, keeping fit and aiming to look young and healthy. This combined with the selfie and social media based culture have increased the desire for men to make the right first impression.
Botox for Men's Frown Lines
Dr. Michele S. Green can help reduce frown lines on men via a series of small injections. Botox relaxes muscles in the face, therefore reducing the prominence of wrinkles. This is because the muscle is numbed in a way that it cannot contract to make the lines, which then fade out over time.
Another common use for Botox is in the glabella area, which is the skin above the nose and between the eyebrows, also known as "11 lines" or "frown lines." Male Botox patients here generally require a slightly higher dose than female patients.

Botox for Crows Feet
Botox Cosmetic is currently the only FDA approved product that works as a temporary solution for both moderate and severe cases of Crows Feet.
Possible Risks for Male Botox Patients
Make sure that you disclose all conditions and allergies before doing Botox, especially past surgeries and allergies, medicines you currently take and other cosmetic procedures undertaken in the past year. Some possible side effects may include discomfort in the area of injection, dry mouth, headache and short term eye or skin irritation.
You also should not go to the gym that day, as you want to avoid exercise for 24 hours after Botox injections.
Botox for Male Pattern Baldness? Myth.
Last but not least, we've seen a lot of queries about Botox's effect on the scalp and for male pattern baldness. However, this is based on a myth – Botox does not do anything for baldness. Another common myth is usage on lips, but this again is not the case, as Botox is not approved for lip usage either. In fact it is very important to instead make sure you choose the right doctor who has experience with the procedures, the options, and can dispel any myths.
Choosing the right dermatologist for Botox procedures
Dr. Michele S. Green is a board certified cosmetic dermatologist based in NYC. With experience on many male patients in the New York area, and more and more male patients overall looking at Botox as an option (cited as 17.5% male currently on the official Botox Cosmetic site), it is no longer just for women.
Effects of Botox last from 3 to 6 months until the treated area muscles have regained ability to function and therefor re-form lines. Overall, treatments can be combined with other dermal fillers such as Belotero under the eyes for tear trough hollowing or Clear & Brilliant to brighten and rejuvenate skin from sun damage. View a list of dermal filler and cosmetic facial injections for men here.

qBittorrent 4.2.0beta1
libtorrent 126.96.36.199
OS: CentOS 8.0 (linux)
I am running the beta version as I wanted to use the latest 1.2 libtorrent-rasterbar library in case that fixes the problem. The problem exists in 4.1.8 and 4.1.9 and libtorrent 1.1.x as well (or may well be nothing to do with any of them).
First, everything is working. I can search for and download torrents, DHT shows 376 nodes.
I have a single port open on my firewall for both UDP and TCP, IPv4 and IPv6, port 30123.
The problem that I have is that my firewall logs many attempted accesses to tcp and udp port 1. I thought initially these might just be port probes or attacks but after some analysis these attempted connections are valid DHT (usually get_peers). I have noticed this (port 1 access) for over a year but have only just invested the time to examine it.
Sometimes there are two udp connects to port 1 followed by a tcp connect from the same client (all of which time out as they are blocked). That is, a client is deliberately trying to connect using DHT.
From netstat -a nothing (including qBittorrent) is listening on port 1 so there is no point in opening the firewall.
From packet traces some remote torrent clients are using port 1 (as an incoming port). My qBittorrent has perfectly reasonable conversations between 30123 (my local port) and port 1 on a remote torrent client. (There is nothing wrong with this). However, at my end I am not using port 1.
I have noticed my local qBittorrent also 'tries' port 1. I have a packet trace where it tries 3 times to send DHT UDP local:30123 to remote:33333 and gets no response and then tries remote:1 (port 1). Eventually it got a DHT reply to 30123. This is worrying and surely wrong.
Is port 1 a legitimate DHT fallback port or is the (local and/or remote) code broken?
Thank you for reading this far.
Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause of the problem?
Invalid DHT access to port 1
Linux specific questions, problems.

Re: Invalid DHT access to port 1
I have retested with libtorrent 1.2.5 with qbittorrent 4.2.1 the result is the same.
I still get a large number of DHT requests both tcp and udp to port 1 (which are blocked by my firewall). In any case, there is no program listening on port 1.
Can anyone confirm/duplicate this on another platform?
I am using CentOS 8.1 linux.

"I actually get that Harper Woods Police need help, but not on the strength of my daughter's life," said the heartbroken father of Starkisha Thompson.
The 33-year-old woman was shot and killed in an ambush outside her home on Collingham near Cordell on Detroit's east side Tuesday morning, shortly after dropping her teenage son off at school.
Six days ago, Starkisha testified in a carjacking case out of Harper Woods, and her family believes the carjacking case is tied to her murder.
Starkisha's father Curtis Thompson is devastated and bitter because he says Harper Woods police pressured his daughter into testifying against the man accused of carjacking her and her boyfriend at a gas station in September.
Starkisha testified at the suspect's preliminary examination last Wednesday.
"She didn't want to testify because these guys were violent," said Thompson who began having heart trouble Tuesday as he stood on the other side of the taped-off crime scene, watching Detroit Police begin the investigation into his daughter's murder.
Thompson collapsed and had to be resuscitated by Detroit Police Chaplain Cedric Wyckoff.
The suspect in the Harper Woods carjacking case is 26-year-old Kenneth Dixon.
Dixon was released from prison earlier this year after serving time for Armed Robbery.
Dixon has been in jail since his arrest in September in the carjacking case where a judge ordered that he be held without bond.
Detroit Police are actively searching for Starkisha's killer and a motive in the case.
Detectives have not ruled out that the killing is connected to Starkisha's testimony in the carjacking case.
"It's still early, and we don't want to be premature, but we have some leads we're following up on," said Detroit Police Captain Mark Thornton.
Anyone with information in the murder of Starkisha Thompson is urged to call Detroit Police homicide investigators at 313-596-2260.
Tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP where they will remain completely anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,500.

Maximizing Your Survey Response Rates
The survey response rate refers to the percentage of the total number of survey attempts that are fully completed. When you're looking to field your survey quickly – in just a few days, perhaps even hours – maximizing the survey response rate is going to be a top priority. Respecting your respondents is a key component to successfully completing project fieldwork quickly and efficiently. And it starts with ensuring your survey is going to the correct sample from your target population.
A Healthy New Year: A Look at Consumers' Food Habits & Meal Subscription Services
So Many Food Trends, So Little Time
The New Year signals a time to think about a new you and jumpstart those healthy eating plans you might have left behind over the holidays. But which food trends are right for you and how can you choose when every day it seems there is a new diet plan causing a heated debate on social media?
Should you eat like a caveman? Remove all carbs from your life? Increase carbs but decrease fats? Alas, we don't have the answers to those questions but we can tell you what eating plans consumers are following and whether they are preparing and cooking their meals themselves. We surveyed 500 US consumers who currently subscribe to a meal delivery service (or have subscribed in the past) to find out their food habits and opinions on meal kits.
Issues in Pricing Research and How to Overcome Them
A company's pricing strategy is influenced by a variety of factors related to demand, cost and profit, competition, and the legal environment. Demand factors consist of the size of the market and its growth or decline, and the regularity/irregularity and elasticity of demand, while variable and fixed costs and margin per unit are examples of cost and profit factors.
Survey Length: The Optimal Amount of Questions to Ask
If you're at the point in your research process where you are probing your brain over the, ever so common, inquiry around how many questions need to be included in your questionnaire, the short answer is; as few as possible. Reducing the length of a survey to a reasonable completion time is crucial! Survey fatigue can be a real menace when attempting to develop a study that will result in the best, most accurate data.
2019 New Year's Resolutions: Health, Happiness & Financial Well-being

What is the best way to keep the resolutions you make? To answer these questions (and many more), AYTM surveyed 1,000 US consumers. Read on for the results.
Tips for Testing Your Online Survey
The design and programming phase of your research project is complete, so what's next? To some, thorough testing on a survey prior to launch is a daunting task. It is not uncommon for mistakes to blend into the background after repeatedly reading the same survey text an excessive amount of times; it is natural for the mind to focus on other elements such as structure and syntax.
In such occurrences, it is important to incorporate different techniques when testing a survey before it is sent to respondents. The steps below are crucial quality assurance methods that will allow you to successfully evaluate your survey's effectiveness.
Gaining a Competitive Advantage Through Research
Marketers are regularly tasked with making decisions that are influenced by the competitive market structure – Which new product(s) will give us a competitive advantage? How do we address new entries in the market? What is the best positioning for this product? To help answer questions like these and gain a competitive advantage, researchers should begin by identifying the competitors and completing a competitive analysis. A competitive analysis is key because it reminds business decision makers that consumers often have many options in the marketplace and enables companies to assess their strengths and weaknesses relative to the competition.

Consider that statistic, it's clear that the world has fully embraced the concept of mobile technology. The rapid adoption has impacted everyday life in many ways; it is changing the way companies interact with their consumers.
3 Simple Techniques for Statistically Adjusting Data
Your strategic and tactical quantitative research work – designing, programming, and fielding an online questionnaire – result in raw data files containing all the respondents' answers to your survey. Typically, some form of data preparation must be completed before your analysis begins. Neglecting to carefully prepare your raw data may jeopardize the statistical results and bias your interpretations and subsequent findings.
Understanding the Pros & Cons of Online Research Panels
Online research panels are widely recognized as a quick and lucrative way to conduct market research. In a society where everyone is easily connected through the internet, it makes sense that research has long progressed from the days of pen-and-paper questionnaires to online survey methods that access hundreds of people instantly. So how do you know if utilizing an online research panel is the appropriate path for your study? To address this question, it is important to explore the possible pros and cons associated with collecting data from an online panel.
Getting the Most from Your Market Research Project

Wednesday's Campaign Round-Up, 10.10.18
Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* Facing a tough re-election fight, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) released a two-minute video yesterday explaining her "no" vote on Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination. "Honestly, I don't think he told the truth," she says in the video. "And even if he did, he showed himself to be too biased to be impartial."
* In Arizona's closely watched U.S. Senate race, nearly all recent polling has shown Kyrsten Sinema (D) with narrow leads, but a new survey from an ABC affiliate in the state found Martha McSally (R) with a six-point lead, 47% to 41%.
* In Georgia's closely watched gubernatorial race, a SurveyUSA poll released yesterday showed Brian Kemp (R) leading Stacey Abrahms (D), 47% to 45%.
* In Ohio, a new Suffolk poll offered some good news for Democrats: Richard Cordray (D) leads Mike DeWine in the state's gubernatorial race, 46% to 40%, while incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) has an 18-point lead over his Republican rival, Jim Renacci, 54% to 36%.
* The news was a little better for Republicans in Nevada, where the latest NBC News/Marist poll found Sen. Dean Heller (D) leading Jacky Rosen (D) by two points, and Adam Laxalt (R) narrowly leading Steve Sisolak (D) in the state's gubernatorial race by one point.
* At a campaign rally in Iowa last night, Donald Trump said he hopes Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) runs for president in 2020 because he wants to "finally get down to the fact as to whether or not she has Indian blood." At the same event, Iowa Republicans chanted "lock her up" – though they directed it at Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), not Hillary Clinton.
* Less than a week after Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) decried groups on the left buying ads in the Supreme Court fight, a conservative dark-money group has launched a "six-figure" ad campaign thanking the Maine Republican for supporting Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.
* Dems have several pick-up opportunities in gubernatorial races this year, but Maryland apparently won't be one of them: the latest Washington Post-University of Maryland poll found Gov. Larry Hogan (R) with a big lead over Ben Jealous (D), 58% to 38%.
* In Texas, Sen. Ted Cruz (R) had agreed to debate Beto O'Rourke (D) next week, but the senator has since changed his mind.
* And on a related note, a progressive super PAC called "Fire Ted Cruz PAC" released a new 30-second ad the other day mocking Cruz for describing himself as "tough as Texas." The ad, directed by Oscar-nominated Richard Linklater and featuring actor Sonny Carl Davis, is one of the more entertaining spots of the season.

Volunteers are, without a doubt, one of the most valuable resources a nonprofit can gain access to. This is primarily the case because nonprofit and public organizations often rely on volunteers to carry out their mission and objectives. Nonprofit volunteers usually give their time and skills to support nonprofit program delivery.
Recent studies estimate that about a hundred million people volunteer each year with an annual value in the range of $150 billion.
Volunteers can help your nonprofit save money, provide better support to beneficiaries, increase contact with the greater community, and make available better expertise.
Volunteers can help with any number of tasks – from administrative tasks and fundraising to program delivery and spreading the word about your nonprofit. They are, indeed, the backbone of the nonprofit sector.
Many nonprofits struggle to attract as many volunteers as they would wish for, and when they do – they sometimes struggle to keep them. We address these issues in this article.
Here's how to attract and keep the best volunteers for your nonprofit:
1. Get Your House in Order
Before you bring the volunteers on board, make sure you get your house in order. What does this mean?
Work with your team and get clear on some key areas. For example:
1.1. Volunteer Job Description
This step is incredibly important – not only to make sure you get the job done by someone who has the right skills but also to increase the chances that the volunteer(s) will be satisfied in their role (role fit is crucial to job satisfaction).
With your team, go over your plans and strategies and review your progress so far. Where is it that you are doing really well? Where are you lagging behind? Identify the underperforming areas, projects, and programs and then consider recruiting volunteers to help out with those. Ensure you clearly identify the skills that are needed for that to happen and recruit volunteers for those specific roles.
Having a written-out job description will also help with the onboarding of the volunteer(s) when it comes to it.
1.2. Onboarding Process
Volunteer onboarding is the mechanism through which new volunteers acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective members of your organization.
Depending on the resources available to you, you might consider creating a volunteer handbook or a formal in-person training program – whatever it takes to efficiently and comprehensively get the new volunteer recruits on board.
Have these ready before you start recruiting. That way, you won't ever find yourself in a position in which this isn't ready when a new volunteer comes in.
2. Decide How You Want to Recruit
There are multiple methods you can use to recruit volunteers. Not every method will be suitable for your nonprofit. This is why Step 1 is important. When you know who you need to recruit and what they will be doing – the how gets much easier.
In addition to taking into account the jobs you need volunteers to do, also consider who could do those jobs best and who might be interested in the first place. Depending on your mission/field of work – you might attract volunteers from different demographics (e.g. Baby Boomers or Millennials).
Decide how you want to promote the role(s): online portals, volunteer fairs, social media, radio. This will depend on your demographic.
Finally, decide how long you will need the volunteers for and what exactly will be expected of them.
2.1. Draft Your Recruitment Message
Regardless of which recruitment method you'll use, you must have a compelling recruitment message. Explain what your nonprofit hopes to achieve and why you need help. Make your message short, simple, and direct. Communicate the need for the volunteer's service.
Point out the benefits (e.g. skills and experience) the volunteer will receive as well as the community benefits that arise from volunteering.
2.2. "Warm Body" or Targeted Recruitment
Decide whether you want to run more of a broad recruitment (i.e. warm body) or more of a targeted recruitment. Warm body recruitment is more appropriate if you're recruiting a large number of volunteers for (usually) very short periods of time or for a specific event. This might involve distributing flyers, setting up brochures, speaking to groups, posting on socials, and more.
Targeted recruitment usually involves a targeted campaign towards a specific group of individuals. This type of recruitment is effective when you need individuals with very specific skills. Think about where you could find those volunteers and what would motivate them.
3. Use Your Social Network
Maybe the volunteers you're looking for have been right under your nose the whole time. One of the best ways to recruit volunteers is to simply ask your friends and family if they or someone they know might want to volunteer. Then, ask your current volunteers and other staff members to do the same.
In addition to that, consider asking:
- Your clients, their families, and relatives
- Alumni of your program/s
- People in your organization's neighborhood
- Individuals who have been affected by the problem you are attempting to solve
This tactic will help your reach grow exponentially. Plus, it builds social proof through word of mouth marketing. People are more likely to trust people they know than organizations. It's also easier to 'persuade' people who already know you in one way or another than it is those who don't (similarly to the difference between 'cold' and 'warm' leads in sales).
This type of recruitment, therefore, involves primarily people who are already familiar with your nonprofit or the problem you address, or who are connected through friends or staff members.
4. Find Your Volunteers
In addition to using your social network to find volunteers, there are a plethora of other ways to recruit the right kind of support.
Here are some places you can look:
– Schools and Universities
Schools and universities are often filled with young and enthusiastic individuals who wish to get engaged in community service. Get in touch with the Student Services department.
– Businesses
In many communities, businesses look for community involvement opportunities for their employees. Approach the community relations, community affairs, or corporate giving department within a company. Corporate volunteering is an increasingly popular practice.
– Clubs and Community Groups
Reach out to social and professional clubs, campus-based sororities and fraternities, membership groups, and community groups. All of these can be excellent volunteer resources.
In addition to these, consider posting flyers and placing announcements in the media.
5. Offer Online Opportunities
If possible, consider offering online volunteering opportunities. This could be particularly helpful if you're targeting working professionals who would otherwise find it hard to have time to volunteer in addition to their full-time jobs and personal obligations.
Even if some companies encourage their employees to volunteer during work hours (which is already rare), employees still lose valuable time getting to your nonprofit.
Take the hassle out of volunteering by offering virtual volunteer opportunities. Through online volunteering, individuals can give their skills, knowledge, and ability directly from their computers or smartphones.
The internet has created an unmatched opportunity for nonprofits in need. From data-entry and graphic design to fundraising and social media management, this type of volunteering is not limited to geographic boundaries or time constraints. It's also more cost-effective. This skills-based volunteering is especially invaluable to smaller, local nonprofits that might lack in human resources (think a small nonprofit somewhere in South East Asia that can gain access to top-notch developers from the Silicon Valley) – or the other way around!
This type of volunteering doesn't just apply to skills like graphic design or social media management. Volunteers can, for example, teach simple computer know-how or English. Naturally, the online volunteering opportunities will differ from one nonprofit to another.
6. Explore Microvolunteering
There's been a lot of buzz around microvolunteering lately. It is certainly a growing trend. Most microvolunteering took place in the UK. Australia (33%) saw the next highest interest in microvolunteering in 2015, while the US is growing from a meager 3%.
Here's how it's defined:
"Microvolunteering takes a simple idea – that people are more likely to volunteer their time in short and convenient, bite-sized chunks – and turns it into a new approach to community action. It offers volunteers a series of easy tasks that can be done anytime, anywhere, on your own terms."
Microvolunteering can include everything from sharing petitions to weeding a local community park. It offers flexibility to volunteers and a lot of opportunities for nonprofit organizations.
If you'll be trialing microvolunteering, make sure your tasks are appropriate (e.g. no complex projects that are really time-sensitive) and think it through: How much supervision do these tasks require? Who will do it? How will we verify the quality?
Make sure the assignments are short – usually no more than 30 minutes – and not location-specific. They should also be engaging and making a difference – no boring admin tasks that no one else wants to do.
Even though someone might be contributing to your nonprofit once for 30 minutes, still provide them the necessary guidance to complete the task. You also want to thank them and check whether you can build on this engagement to create something more long-term.
Microvolunteering is an excellent supplement to traditional volunteering programs!
7. Communicate Expectations
Volunteers, like employees, come to your nonprofit with a passion for your cause and interest in your work. They, like every other human being, have preconceived ideas and expectations about their roles and your nonprofit.
In order to keep your volunteers happy, it's essential to clearly communicate expectations at the very start of your work together.
Volunteers should be made familiar with their job descriptions in detail, including the inner workings of your nonprofit (to the extent required for them to thrive in their roles), their supervisor/point of contact, and the communication system. Most importantly, volunteers should understand how they will help your nonprofit advance its mission.
It's in the onboarding process that you will need to balance volunteer expectations with your own organizational goals and program expectations. This will set the tone for a positive experience for your volunteers. Your volunteers should feel like their expectations are heard and their questions answered. This increases the chances that they will continue their involvement with your nonprofit.
Communicating expectations will also help new volunteers acclimate to new surroundings and overcome emotions that come with change.
8. Make it Enjoyable
Fun is the secret ingredient to employee and volunteer engagement alike. Sure, it's important to draft job descriptions and get your volunteers familiar with the internal communication system – but it's (perhaps even equally as) important to create an environment in which volunteers will have fun and enjoy their work.
One of the ways to achieve this is to create an environment where volunteers can easily develop personal, emotional, and professional connections. In your onboarding process, resources allowing, include activities that will cultivate such connections among volunteers and between volunteers and staff.
For example, you could design ice-breakers and organize informal social gatherings where volunteers and staff will get to know each other. Furthermore, you could design a shadowing program where new volunteers will shadow experienced volunteers for a period of time.
A sense of belonging and a community go a very long way in creating a positive and enjoyable atmosphere that volunteers will want to keep coming back to.
9. Recognize and Pay Attention
As mentioned previously, similar principles that ensure high employee retention apply to retaining your volunteers too.
Recognition and attention are the basics of effective volunteer management and volunteer engagement.
Thank every volunteer who helps in any way. Treat everyone with the same respect and make sure no effort goes unnoticed – as much as you can afford to.
In addition, make sure you recognize the most active volunteers in your nonprofit (e.g. volunteer of the week/month or a reward).
Publicly recognizing volunteers will make them feel proud of their own accomplishments.
Pay attention to the experience of your volunteers – what motivates them, how they feel, and how you can help them grow.
Although people start volunteering for many different reasons, and they stay/leave for many different reasons too, it's safe to say the following can help:
– Autonomy
Allow your volunteers to have an appropriate level of autonomy where they can direct their own tasks and come up with strategies and techniques to achieve goals.
– Mastery
Ensure your volunteers are learning in their roles. Volunteers should feel like they're making progress – like they're "mastering" something. Match volunteers to roles that are just the right amount of 'challenging' for them. This will help keep them motivated.
– Purpose
This is arguably easy for nonprofits – who already recruit volunteers who buy into their mission/cause, but everyone gets bogged down in the nitty-gritty of their role at times. Make sure your volunteers see that they're pursuing a higher purpose and contributing to something bigger than themselves.
Informally, telling volunteers they're doing a great job and asking their opinions on internal developments are all important.
Do something special for your volunteers' birthdays, post about them on your social media, provide them training, and invest in a couple of employee perks that they'll have access to. Paying attention will make your volunteers feel valued and increase the chances that they'll stay with your nonprofit.
There is a lot of work involved in really good volunteer recruitment and retention, but, like most things, it gets easier with practice. You should now have a clearer idea of how to find the right volunteers for your nonprofit – and keep them.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by what appears to be a huge amount of work just to get volunteers on board, stay calm and optimistic! When you find the right volunteers, the rest of your work becomes easier. You'll have more resources to accomplish your mission, you'll establish a better reputation, and reach out to more people. Your volunteers will also help spread the word for your organization, which can bring in more donations, supporters, and employees in. Finally, you'll also strengthen your organization's image in your community and create awareness about your mission.
A volunteer network is indeed critical to an organization's overall success. Volunteers keep your nonprofit's mission alive in their communities.
Many volunteer attraction and retention factors are under the direct control of your nonprofit. Although it appears there are many aspects to juggle, in terms of your organization's time and energy investment, volunteers are more than worth the effort.
