Developing And Conducting A Successful Capital Campaign
A capital campaign is an effort to raise funds for the capital needs of an organization or institution. This includes acquisition of property or equipment, construction, renovation, endowments, special projects and programs. Capital campaigns are an occasional necessity, from time to time, in the life of an institution especially when it is part of an institution’s master or long-range plan. The efforts of a capital campaign are of major proportions usually taking place over several years.
The reason I have undertaken the research of developing and conducting a successful capital campaign is because I have been in environments where capital campaigns were being conducted. As an undergraduate at Cal State Dominguez Hills, I recall the ground breaking of the Loker Student Union, which was in the last phase of its campaign. I also remember when the campus took on the task to raise fund for the Challenger Center; it was considered in the pre-public phase of the campaign. As a professional, I have been fortunate to be part of two capital campaigns, UCLA’s and the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association’s. In 1993 at UCLA, I was an assistant to the Director of Development of the Neurosciences in the School of Medicine. Along with the other campus schools, I was involved in the planning and preparation that occurred before the capital campaign called the pre-public phase. It was a very educational experience that I enjoyed. In 1997/98, as a Manager of the Capital Campaign at the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association, I was involved in efforts during the capital campaign called the public phase. While my experience at the Zoo was also education, I realized that components of the ca...

...out of its socket. No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain. Hungary's coaching staff and competition officials rushed to Baranyai's aid as he lay trembling on the floor, his arm limp and twisted out of position.
History aims to examine the actions and legacy of mankind. The past is filled with the achievements that humans have reached, however, history also shows us the evil that man is capable of. No atrocity against mankind is more heinous than the act of genocide. Genocide is the aim to destroy all (or part of) of a racial, religious, ethnic, or national group of people. This paper will examine two famous cases of genocide in history: The holocaust of Jews and other groups in Nazi Germany, and the destruction of the Congolese people under Belgian colonialism. The Holocaust remains as one of the main legacies of Hitler and the Nazi party, who claimed an estimated 11 million victims, 6 million of which were Jews. Comparatively, the Congolese Genocide
A similarity between the Holocaust and the Cambodian genocide is the social killing technique. This is the perpetrators’ strategy used to eliminate people who could stand up against them by killing the educated and intelligent people and religions of their targets. When the Nazis seized Poland and Slovenia, they tried to murder intelligentsia or deported them into slave labor in Germany, as way to dismantle their enemies’ resources to create opportunities and operate rebellion. Under control of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, they also deliberately adjudicated deaths to whom they believed that had potential to disobey Pol Pot. In the article “ The History Place - Genocide in the 20th Century: Pol Pot in Cambodia 1975-1979”, the author informed,
Vygotsky placed much more emphasis on language that Piaget (book). Vygotsky’s theory focuses on the role of interpersonal processes and the role of the child’s community and culture which provide a framework from which the child’s construction of meaning develops (book). Although Vygotsky stressed that the process must be in in the context of the child’s culture and the tools available within that culture. Vygotsky was always especially interested in cognitive processes which underline understanding which has led to the concept of shared understandings that occur when people communicate with each other. Vygotsky argued that through the use of language formed through social interaction a child can develop as a thinker and a learner (book). As a conscious individual people could not accomplish very much without the aids and tools within their culture such as language (book). Piaget argued that language was strongly influenced by the underlying cognitive structures within the individual child (book). They also disagreed on the egocentric speech of children. When observing children Piaget concluded that half of the mistakes children made was down to egocentric speech which he argued showed that children have not tried to communicate with another or adapted so others can understand them he also argued that young children did not seem to care if anyone else could understand them and

If we implemented these solutions in the year 2016 by 2020 we would be able to see a drastic difference in the reviews of the Little Rock Zoo and would be reaping the financial benefits and freedoms that would come along with it. After 5 years of using the Little Rock Zoo funding in small ways like advertising and such we would then be in a suitable position to start back up on the programs that we deferred. Depending on the amount of funding success we obtain we may be able to begin these projects
The Cambodian Genocide took place from 1975 to 1979 in the Southeastern Asian country of Cambodia. The genocide was a brutal massacre that killed 1.4 to 2.2 million people, about 21% of Cambodia’s population. This essay, will discuss the history of the Cambodian genocide, specifically, what happened, the victims and the perpetrators and the world’s response to the genocide.

... of dispersion management in optical transmission, which are Direct Detection optical OFDM (DDO-OFDM) and Coherent Optical OFDM (CO-OFDM). According to the performance in spectral efficiency, receiver sensitivity and polarization dispersion, CO-OFDM is better performance but more complexes to implement then DDO-OFDM. CO-OFDM has emerged for 100 GB/s transmission over 1000km SSMF. However , at this data rates, the signal quality is significantly interrupted mainly due to the impact of PMD, CD and intra channel nonlinearity effect but using Coded OFDM and efficient modulation technique we will try to improve error free data rata and intra channel nonlinearity of fiber. The choice of different digital modulation method directly affect to OSNR, [7] Optical fiber dispersion, nonlinear effect, bandwidth efficiency and BER which can effect as a whole system performance.
Piaget And Vygotsky are two new psychologist that forces on the influential theory of cognitive development. Cognitive development is the growth of mental abilities from early childhood to the adult age. This process can help children learn about life skills and language to have a better cognitive development. They both took roles in children, roles of people in society to develop different skills. Both theories affect education in various ways for substantial growth. In this essay, I will focus on the difference in each approach, similarities and gain the better understanding of each theory standpoint.
Firstly, the positive effects of e-learning is, e-learning can improve efficiency both in learning and teaching of students or teachers. This is because the use of e-learning will enable students to perform the tasks given by the teacher quickly and efficiently. Besides that, the use of e-learning system allows the teacher or lecturer can upload drills and assignment on sites like Facebook or another. For example, a lecturer at KPTM Kuala Lumpur using OLES (online learning system) to give assignment to their students. E-learning can also open students mind and enhance student knowledge of IT (information technology); this is because most of the information we get from technology. The ideal way to use for students and lecturers are synchronous communication style. Here the communication between the teac...
