			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Computers are a big part of our economy because without them everything will be done slow. Looking at old articles while searching gave me how I could recycle my computers but this is the new age where we could change the computer to be energy efficient when it goes back to the economy. Once I put key words like non profit organizations and web page design on google alerts I received one that has been up to date. It gave me hope because the green revolution is focusing on every last detail which is good for our future generations. The article was called <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/06/08/BU6510VIK7.DTL" title="Recycling Computers">A greener glow for computers power management,consolidating equipment among options</a> and in this piece it included information on how most of the energy used on a computer can be downsized to a minimal scale.</p>
<p>In this wordpress I try to deliver articles for improvement because sometimes we need to keep up to date with everything that is going on. If we are not then we cannot improve take for example,if we would have let skepticism rule the truth of global warming then we would not have known why are summers have been getting hotter as the year passed by. Required laws that would have every business have environmentally friendly requisites would have an impact on how much power is used in this nation. Then if we have businesses to distibute these products then single individuals will also save money and trees. So if you start a change then others could follow but people must be informed also. To keep it simple costs for environmentally friendly products are cheaper.</p>
<p>To keep it more simpler our computers has an energy saver mode like hibernation. You go to your control panel and select performance and maintenance until you reach power options. This will save you money drastically if you choose to hibernate your computer when not in use and the whole for thirty minutes as it stated in this article. What is the use of having your computer on if it is not in use. Other should know about this so we will not have blackouts anymore. This article contains many tips. Another one that I would like to mention is the fact that there is recycled paper.  You do not need to buy another computer all you need to do is improve it. Memory could be added as well as other features you might need when it shows up. Businesses could also have printers that has more than one function like faxing.  Printing software is efficient because sometimes there are pages that have no use whatsoever like the ones with leftover urls. This is useful because the software will see how much text could be in one page. The printer could be checked to see if it is duplex because if not it will be doing double the job.</p>

<p>According to the groups it is called &#8220;fiscal sponsorship&#8221;. In the link that was given to <a href="http://www.idealist.org/npofaq" title="Idealist Org">idealist org</a> . I clicked ont the organization part of it of frequently asked questions and then when on to startup. It said that in the USA I have to have a tax-exempt status and a nonprofit mailing status and a nonprofit mailing profit.Some resources that were given were the IRS and UK Charities Commission. You can also look to other web pages. Starting one varies from state from state.</p>

I went on a blog search and found <a href="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27623/socius" title="blog">one</a> that was reporting on nonprofit software.I have not studied much about software and cannot recommend this product. I hope there is not anything bad about it. It is called Socius.</p>
<p>In its description it talks about how it has applications for the use for nonprofits. It is a cooperation of those involved in the project and the quota. This software is free it has no charge behind it. Its platform is PPC. The screenshot provides how it will look like on your computer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Times New Roman">Generations of the past always worry about how the new generation will do with that in mind,I found on a blog search about <a href="http://www.maxgladwell.com/2008/05/myspace-impact-offers-new-nonprofit-platform/" title="Myspace Impact">myspace impact</a>. As you know myspace is a revolution because our generation communicates on the internet. Which is great if you want to reach the new generation. It could mean mobilizing them to go to the polls for the new president.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">On this site it talks about the different features of this new revolution. Myspace impact gave awards to nonprofits which helps others know about their cause. Myspace as it says will launch “ Impact-makers” that will help nonprofits for free by offering tools. Other users can also add it on their profile. They have not yet announced it though but this is a good idea considering their popularity.</font><img width="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2290/2279786533_261a04c8df.jpg?v=0" height="477" /></p>

The site I went to first was called <a href="http://letterpop.com/how_it_works.php" title="letterpop">letterpop</a>. It said it was free so I checked if it was. It was only free until ten newsletters that are published. You can also choose a personal plan which costs 24.98$ a year which includes 52 that are published,up to 500 e-mail contacts,52 send e-mails and up to 500 contacts at a time to sent to. It also has other features which also includes RSS. It is quite a simple process to do after you sign up. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">All I had to choose what kind of style it would be. I only edit where there was the word edit. I can also upload my own pictures. There is a lot of designs under different categories. The format could be different by changing fonts. The pictures could also be rotated. You save it under a title. </font><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/thierryfanovan/44348003/" title="newsletter"></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Times New Roman">In our world today there are more companies that are going green. There is even green construction. Green construction is great because with whatever renewable source in the world, if used wisely will help our health. We will be less worried about asbestos in our rooms. The point I am trying to make is that although we recycle our computers. We will still buy computers with the same material I went on a google group called <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/sci.space.policy/browse_thread/thread/2948d00414989c06/57afd5ca9d31d5ef?hl=en&amp;lnk=st&amp;q=reusable+world#57afd5ca9d31d5ef" title="Reusable Material">sci.space.policy</a>. It is about NASA that has reusable technology.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">            Specifically there is reusable multistage launchers that has internet.that orbits. Then a nova-class reusable launcher that orbits. Then a nova-class reusable launcher to orbit powersat. Then I searched for green computers on blogs called <a href="http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dell-eco-pc" title="Green Computer">Green Computers Dell Bamboo Eco Computer</a>. Then I saw one that I recognized. It was from the Dell company. It has bamboo casing. It is smaller and powerfriendly. It is going to cost from 500-700 dollars. </font><img width="375" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/119/266614064_fc814c9d0c.jpg?v=1160543659" height="500" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Times New Roman">If I would like to give away computers to youth who need it I must also make sure that the computers they are using will be in good condition and with right programs. That will cost money because I have to get a computer expert to see all that through. Thankfully there are websites online that will help me with that. One of them is called <a href="http://www.pcmech.com/" title="PC Mech">pcmech</a>. This website allows a person to go online and find out about there computers in simpler terms. It also lets us understand the development of technology since it is moving in a rapid pace. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">I searched on this same site for open source software. I do not know if I will find any computers without Windows but I want to know other options. So I found an article that explains open source software called What does <a href="http://www.pcmech.com/article/answering-the-question-what-does-open-source-really-mean/" title="Open Source">Open Source Really Mean?</a> . In a summary it said that a code is allowed to change without any legal restrictions. Then I went on another search about Windows and Linux. For now I do not thing running on open source as I thought it would be because in the article called <a href="http://www.pcmech.com/article/can-linux-replace-windows/" title="Linux and Windows">Can Linux replace Windows</a> I saw what was happening inside computers. </font><font face="Times New Roman">Microsoft has made the rules since it began. When Microsoft came out battles came tout on court. It was also good software at the time. The reason that it will be hard for Linux is because it needs software for Linux. The market has been in favor of Windows and have not thought about Linux in their machines. Ther is Wine which is an open source implementation like API in Windows that could be used for Linux Unfortunately,it is not perfect. The support as it says in the article is “spotty”. Virtual machines is another option but it is also hard to do.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Times New Roman">From an article from <a href="http://nonprofit.about.com/" title="Non profit">Nonoprofit Charitable Orgs</a> it talks about help with the 990 form. This form is for starting a nonprofit legally. It helps with the new tax returns. It mentions the change in accounting and record keeping. There is also a helpful link on how to complete it online for twenty-five dollars. The article also mentions that a nonprofit does not need to apply for 501(c) 3 status.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">            This article mentions the popularity of some articles. One is from Guidestar which talks about myths. Another one was about how much nonprofits are online in which two bloggers discuss what is being done. Another blog criticizes how Oprah handled the meaning of giving. Another talks about volunteerism. There is also an interesting topic that is about going on a site that you give information to a reporter. Another article speaks about how an event should be concerned about how an event will convey the message of a nonprofit and not on the celebrity that is there. Another article mentions how a nonprofit should reach their audiences emotions to have more donations. Another talks about how an article and a grant proposal are similar.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Times New Roman">I found some information on how to get money for a good cause at these sites:<a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/study_non-profits_missing_major_fundraising_opportunity.php" title="Fundraising">read,write,web</a> ,<a href="http://philanthropy.com/news/updates/4208/wealthy-people-increasingly-give-online-study-finds" title="Philanthropy">philanthropy</a> and <a href="http://ejewishphilanthropy.com/the-wired-wealthy/" title="Ephilanthropy">ejewishphilanthropy </a>. All of them have “the similar idea of donating. Donating online has been done for some time now. People who donated online which is not a lot think that they do not think about it too much. But those who do that think about where there money is going to it is  a very large a mount of money. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">A large amount is given by the so-called “Wired Wealthy”. Charities must think about how they approach their online strategies. Donors must spend their hard-earned cash wisely and they also want to have  a profit. The charities web design must have a good presence. There must be a connection and some inspiration. An idea from the site suggest e-mail. The e-mails must be good. You can include what their money was used and how much e-mail could be sent back and forth. Youtube is another idea because it is more of a connection. There were three personalities from this group. They are relationship seekers,casual connection and business. Online websites can adjust to fit their donors. This has become important.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Times New Roman">After reading USA Today’s article called <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2002/02/25/computer-waste.htm" title="Computer Waste">Much Toxic Computer Waste lands in<br />
Third World</a>, it gave me an idea of the dangers of computer waste. Not only do we hurt ourselves by contaminating our waters with the toxicity but we also hurt other countries. Unfortunately, those who recycle are not really one hundred percent recycling. Those who recycle are in third world countries with not a lot of protection for themselves or their own countries. This article mentions how villages in southeastern<br />
China were found to do this. They only receive 1.50 a day. The water there has been polluted to dangerous levels. This is all from “recycled” parts. This has not been noticed and there was a 1989 treaty called the Basel Convention to stop it but it has not been ratified. More computes are along the way and businesses have to pay for recycling older materials. There is no organized way and it goes to other countries. There is a suggestion to include a initial sales price for recycling the material. Here in<br />
California the article mentions that two senators introduced bills. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">            On the second article by <a href="http://www.minesandcommunities.org/Action/press708.htm" title="Computer Waste">Action Press</a>, it was about the similar example of Guiyu dismantling computes in an unsafe way. The regions of Giuyu and<br />
New Delhi are known to collect silver and gold. Those contaminants can bring about cancer to nervous system damage. It is not good for workers and public health. For<br />
China labor there is a bulletin that talks about the dangers of computer waste and how much we contribute to it. It is hard to remove the possibility of profit for the country’s search for better technology and the people’s need for money. Basel Action Network and Greenpeace hopes to stop these dangers. Migrant workers are helped more thoroughly for there worker rights.</font></p>
