Safety Features of SUVs
Recent studies have provided information on the safety that sports utility vehicles (SUVs) provide. The chances of SUVs getting into a rollover accident have been significantly reduced through the help of the new wave of technology that effectively prevents any accidents from happening. Today's SUVs have active and passive safety features that ensure occupants inside the vehicle are protected and even prevent an accident even before it can occur.
Rollover accidents occur during high speeds on sudden turns or swerves while driving. Stability has always been a factor for SUV's and speed and sudden change in directions can make the vehicle unstable and difficult to maneuver. This has lead to a great number of rollover accidents (the worst type of accident) and resulted in thousands of injuries and deaths every year.
The mandatory requirement made by the Federal government for car manufacturers to include the electronic stability control has greatly helps in lowering the cases of accidents (especially rollover accidents for SUVs) as this safety feature help in automatically triggering the vehicle's brakes and intervenes with the throttle during wheel slippage. These features help with the stability of the SUV, making it easier to control and thus lower then chances of accidents or fatal crashes. However, the utility of these numerous safety features can be undone by most automotive defects.
Other safety features added to the SUV models are anti-lock brakes that would allow you to drive the vehicle while being under full braking power and the independent suspension that permits each of the four wheels to react individually to uneven road conditions. However, these safety features will not be enough if the driver himself drives the vehicle in a reckless or negligent manner. The advancement of safety features in SUVs have made it still one of the best selling vehicles in the United States, and is still growing in popularity around the world. SUV safety features have made the roads safer not only for them but for other cars on the roads as well. In addition to that, extra safety features can also turn into savings on car insurance. Be on the lookout for these kinds things, since having them is almost like getting paid to be more safe.Read more

Sshhh – Confidentiality issues for language professionals
The duty of confidentiality applies to us all. So what do our professional Codes of Conduct tell us about it, when exactly does it apply, in which work venues and settings and how long does this duty last for?
Sue will consider these questions in an interactive session where she invites you to participate with any queries you might have such as:
- Many of us subcontract work - are we breaching the client's confidentiality when we do this?
- Is it ok to work on our laptops in Starbucks, Costa and so on?
- Should we sign clients' NDAs which ask us to destroy our work on completion of the job?

What are you all using for on call staffing software?
Our current spreadsheet solution is wearing on my nerves.

Maybe a shared outlook calender would work? Depends on what your needs are.
Oct 22, 2010 at 3:04 UTC
Lawrie Dalman Consulting is an IT service provider.
Yes, we use a shared calendar or 3 for this.. It takes a bit to configure and required us to create Exchange accounts for our outside contractors, but it works pretty well.
Other products we looked at cost a lot more than Exchange since we are an MS Partner and MAPS subscriber.
There are other products that provide shared Calendars too, be we have the inside angle on MS products so that's what works for us.
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:40 UTC
A shared outlook calendar is your best option. This is what we use to schedule our oncall techs.
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:51 UTC
Just a question before I will suggest something, what is your industry?
Oct 22, 2010 at 12:44 UTC
I work for a Hospital.
Our On Call list is currently a speadsheet that gets printed one a day.
I would like something web based that could be printed in a simular format, but easier to manage, as each dept. is resonsible for updating their own on call status.
Oct 22, 2010 at 1:02 UTC
According to your industry, here are some links ...
Oct 22, 2010 at 6:56 UTC
Personally I would say shared calender if you are in an Exchange environment. You can do a lot in the ways of deploying it to users.
Oct 23, 2010 at 5:58 UTC
We do not have an Exchange enviroment. Just regular old pop mail.
Oct 24, 2010 at 12:51 UTC
In that case I would look into the suggestions that JC posted. A couple of those look pretty good.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

1 together we can change our world A Toolkit on Advocacy Supporting and encouraging young people to speak out, educate, and take action This publication has been realized with the financial support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe
2 Foreword Elspeth Henderson Dear Members, dear Friends, I am proud to present this Advocacy Toolkit that we have produced to help you, our members, to introduce and strengthen the advocacy dimension in the programmes and strategies of your organization or group. It is a practical handbook for group leaders and national board members with a broad choice of tools for the strategic development and practical implementation of your advocacy work. WAGGGS advocacy work aims to influence people to take decisions that will improve our lives and the lives of others. Our advocacy work derives from our Vision and our strategic plan to be the voice of girls and young women who influence issues they care about and build a better world. We will be soon be celebrating the centenary anniversary of international Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting with the message girls worldwide say 100 years of changing lives. WAGGGS and Member Organizations have a long tradition of improving lives and making the world a better place. Isn t this the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting spirit in its purest sense? Building on nearly a century of experience in changing lives, this toolkit now provides you with everything you need to take advocacy to the next level. The title together we can change our world says it all! Representing the voice of girls and young women, we can make a difference to the society we live in if we all play our part. But what is our world can vary according to one s point of view. It can start at a personal level, then extend to include the local community, and further expand to national and international levels. Youth participation and reaching out to local communities are key to successful advocacy work. Individual Girl Guide and Girl Scout groups and national Member Organizations can make the biggest impact at local and national level. This Advocacy Toolkit is designed to support you throughout the process. It provides a focus for local groups and Member Organizations. It encourages girls and young women to make a personal commitment to change the world around them. All individual actions together at global, but more importantly at local and national level are the change we are making to our world. There are many areas where you can get engaged, like raising awareness of how a problem should be tackled, taking action to address an issue, or reminding your decision-makers of their commitments and promises. Each effort, short or long term, local, national or international, counts and is a vital part of the change that Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting makes to the world. I invite you to join us for this adventure! Elspeth Henderson Chair of the World Board You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Gandhi
3 Foreword Fabiola Canavesi Dear Friends, On behalf of the Europe Region of WAGGGS, I am very pleased to introduce this Toolkit on Advocacy. This toolkit has been produced to support, encourage, challenge and inspire Girl Guides and Girl Scouts at all levels of our Movement to educate, speak out and take action. We want them to bring about positive change for themselves and others and contribute to building a better world. Advocacy is not a new way of work for WAGGGS. Our proud tradition of advocacy began with the birth of the Girl Guide and Girl Scout Movement in 1909, and since then Girl Guides and Girl Scouts have developed a strong and powerful voice, speaking out on the issues affecting and concerning young people, and ensuring young people s views are considered when policies affecting them are being decided. What is new is WAGGGS renewed focus on advocacy a key part of achieving our Vision for Young women participating in a recent citizenship project in the Europe Region identified a need for a youthfriendly guide to advocacy, and this toolkit represents another step in our journey to empower Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to educate, speak out and take action to change the world around them. I hope that this practical handbook, with its step-by-step guide, examples of current advocacy projects, and tools and tips will inspire you to think about the difference you can make, and how you can speak out and bring about change in your world. Change does not often happen overnight, but as the examples highlighted in the toolkit show, we can influence decision-makers to take the required actions to improve people s lives, if our efforts are sustained and united. I would like to thank the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe for their financial support which made the production of this toolkit possible, and also the volunteers from the Advocacy Working Group and Resources Pool of the Europe Region WAGGGS who were part of the Editorial team, and the volunteers within and outside WAGGGS who contributed to the content and participated in the editorial process of developing this toolkit. Fabiola Canavesi Chair of the Europe Committee There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.

6 1 Introduction 1.1 Why a Toolkit on Advocacy? In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins not through strength but through persistence Anonymous WAGGGS has a strong and proud tradition of speaking out to bring about change, not just for ourselves but also for others. We have been doing this what we now call Advocacy since the beginning of our Movement. In 1909 a group of girls and young women turned up at a Scouting Rally at Crystal Palace, London, and demanded that there was a place for them in the Scouting family. As a result of taking this action and speaking out on behalf of girls and young women, the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Movement was created. This was the first advocacy activity in Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting and it was the start of decades of advocacy action by girls and young women all over the world. Advocacy plays a crucial role to achieve WAGGGS Mission and Vision: WAGGGS Mission is to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world WAGGGS Vision for 2011 We are a growing worldwide Movement the voice of girls and young women who influence issues they care about and build a better world. WAGGGS now believes that a more focused use of advocacy will help us to improve the lives of girls and young women worldwide and help us to grow as a Movement. Advocacy will ensure we are seen and heard as an organization which speaks out and takes action on the issues affecting young people, bringing about positive change. Recognising that this new focus requires a new resource, this toolkit was produced: To help you understand WAGGGS definition of advocacy To increase your capacity to speak out and take action on issues concerning young people, at national or local level To help you develop an advocacy project with your Association or group This toolkit aims to meet the needs of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts who want to develop an advocacy project, whether you are a member of your National Board, a leader, or in a local group. 6
7 Introduction 1.2 How to use this Toolkit There is no chance, no destiny, and no fate that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul Ella Wheeler Wilcox Every advocacy project is different and needs an approach that is tailored to the specific problem you are trying to solve. All advocacy activities will require support, resources and a plan to help you organize these activities. This toolkit aims to: Explain the concept of advocacy and how it is defined by WAGGGS Clarify the role of advocacy in Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting Guide you in the process of developing an advocacy project at national or local level Describe some of the different advocacy activities, and provide practical tips to help you in your advocacy work Highlight other useful WAGGGS materials and resources, which can help you develop your advocacy project In the table of contents, we have listed the different tools which you can find in the respective chapters. Each chapter starts on a new page so you can easily take out and use the chapters individually if needed. Together, this makes up your advocacy toolkit and you can choose the tools you need. There are also examples of projects and tips where you can find further information. This toolkit is designed to be a living resource and to develop as WAGGGS focus on advocacy also continues to develop. It can be downloaded from If you have an example of an advocacy project, or further suggestions on how it can be improved, please use the Evaluation Form at the end of the toolkit. Members of WAGGGS are free to reproduce any part of this kit without seeking permission. Other organizations or individuals should request permission from WAGGGS before copying all or part of this kit. 7
8 Introduction 1.3 Why should Girl Guides and Girl Scouts advocate? When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion Ethiopian Proverb Girl Guides and Girl Scouts have been standing up and speaking out to change the world around them. Since the first girls who attended the Crystal Palace Rally in 1909 and demanded a place for girls, we have spoken out on issues such as human rights, HIV and AIDS or the development of policies which affect young people wherever they live. The Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Movement is a values-based non-formal educational programme. It aims to provide girls and young women with relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes so they can become responsible citizens and actively contribute to the community around them. Being a responsible and active citizen also means being prepared to speak out against injustice and take action on behalf of ourselves and others. Trying to improve our lives and the lives of others by influencing through advocacy is another way in which Girl Guides and Girl Scouts can truly be responsible citizens, achieve WAGGGS Mission and contribute to WAGGGS Vision. Through community service projects and their daily lives, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are actively working to build a better world. Real and lasting improvement can be achieved if the rules or laws concerning the root causes of a problem are also changed. Taking part in an advocacy project is also an opportunity for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to learn critical leadership skills, public speaking and project planning. It also provides practical opportunities to learn about the democratic processes in their country and local community learning by doing! TOOL: Olave Baden-Powell s message Help to create a better world and a brighter future for the youth of tomorrow Olave Baden-Powell Always remember, we are a global organization with a mission to develop the fullest potential of girls and young women. Advocacy is also a process through which young people become empowered to become responsible citizens and contribute actively to the world around them. They do this by identifying and expressing their own needs and desires, and by developing the skills to influence decisions which affect them. Advocacy does not have to be confrontational and it does not have to be political. As a responsible citizen it is natural to engage in the democratic processes in your country and contribute to the community. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts can support an idea without supporting an ideology. The Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Movement is a non-political organization, but to build a better world you might need to engage with politicians and decision-makers. 8
9 Introduction 1.4 What is Advocacy? Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead The word advocacy comes from the Latin advocare and literally means to call out for support. Today it is used to describe a particular democratic process, where individuals or groups of people take different actions to try to influence those who make decisions that affect our lives. Advocacy is also about standing up for an issue or cause you believe in, and trying to change people s lives to build a better world. TOOL: WAGGGS Advocacy definition For WAGGGS, advocacy is simply: In detail this means: We influence people to take decisions that will improve our lives and the lives of others. We influence people (= by speaking, doing and educating ) to take decisions (= for example change policies or regulations, allocate funding, provide support) that will improve our life and the lives of others (= the result we are trying to achieve) For WAGGGS, influencing always includes: In detail this means: Speaking Out, Doing and Educating. Speaking out on issues that affect girls and young women and influencing opinion-formers Doing projects that address root causes of issues affecting girls and young women Educating girls, young women and society at large in areas such as leadership, health, peace and world citizenship Whatever the issue, for WAGGGS, advocacy is about taking a stand and working for positive change. We speak out about an important issue that affects girls and young women; we develop projects which directly improve people lives; and we educate girls and young women so they can positively change the world around them. Only when all three elements speaking out, doing and educating are present can we call it advocacy. It is important to take one step at a time and to be patient because sometimes it needs a lot of influencing, speaking out, doing and educating, before you can see the change happen. 9
10 Introduction 1.4 What is Advocacy? continued Advocacy is a process of: Identifying a problem Coming up with a solution to that problem Establishing strong internal and external support for that solution Implementing an effective plan Advocacy may involve activities like awareness raising, lobbying and campaigning. Other typical advocacy activities might be, for example: Producing a leaflet or a statement highlighting a problem and identifying what needs to change to improve people s lives Arranging meetings or writing letters to key contact persons and policy makers to present the case for change Developing alliances to influence policy on youth issues at national/regional level Radio messages calling for a new law Drama, demonstration, radio, TV advocating. Example: For an end to discrimination for people living with HIV and AIDS Organizing a petition to show public support for the change you want to make, and presenting it to decision-makers Speaking out be part of the voice of girls and young women A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That s why they don t get what they want. Madonna Before speaking out, it is important to understand all the factors associated with the people you are trying to convince and influence on certain issues. You need to know your audience and the political agenda at national or local level concerning your issues. It is essential to know who you are talking to. Consider the following questions: In which position are they working? What is their function in certain structures? What is their background? How might they profit from this? Who can they influence and who is influencing them? What are their weaknesses and strengths? Successful advocacy is all about good communication. This is a two-way process: Communication is not only about speaking, but also about listening, learning and understanding the other party s context, motives and constraints. Your voice needs to be distinctive and stand out from the background noise if you want it to get heard. Use your voice and make yourselves heard on issues that are important to girls and young women. Use key words to strengthen the message use positive words, rather than negative connotations. Get other people to share your messages and speak out on your behalf. Encourage people who are well known by the general public to endorse or support your advocacy project. Influential people such as teachers, religious leaders, politicians, and celebrities can help by writing letters or s to decisionmakers and opinion-formers. Get your members, your group or your troop on board. Raise awareness among the people you want to work with and get them enthused. You will need their full support. 10
11 Introduction 1.4 What is Advocacy? continued Speaking out continued Speak and network with peer groups and potential partners. Join in partnerships with organizations that are also concerned about the same issues. This can give you more power and support during the process of influencing. Peer groups may come up with new elements that you might have not thought about. EXAMPLE: Nothing about us, without us! How the Latvian Guide and Scout Central Organization participated in the development of a new youth law in Latvia. Latvia has been one of the few countries in Europe in recent years where there has been no youth law, youth policy or state budget for youth activities. Youth NGOs received hardly any support from the state as there was no legal basis for youth policy, which is essential to create a system of youth participation and financial support. In 2002 the National Youth Council took the initiative to create a youth law in Latvia. Experts from different fields and 10 young people from different youth NGOs (including the Scouts and Guides of Latvia) drafted the first youth law. In 2003, they began the process to get the law passed by the Latvian Government. A youth law would ensure that there was a legal recognition for the different youth policy actors (e.g.: state, youth NGOs, local municipalities, institutions, etc.). It would also identify the rights and responsibilities of these different actors and introduce a legal basis so the State and local municipalities could support youth NGOs. There were a lot of barriers even to get the draft youth law onto the political agenda: Youth policy wasn t a priority for the government There was no ministry who was directly responsible for youth policy There was no clear understanding of the value of youth NGOs in Latvian society Over the last six years, there have been many challenges in the process to get the Youth law accepted but there was always a vision the need to have a Youth law in Latvia, which will be the instrument for making better world for young people in the country. There have also been some significant policy successes: a youth policy programme for has been established and the budget increased from 21,374 Euros in 2006 to 476,696 Euros in An advisory council in the Ministry of Children and Family Affairs has been established and, as a result, there has been very close cooperation between Youth NGOs and the government on different youth policy topics. The Latvian Scouts and Guides were actively involved in all processes of the development of the youth law. The organization believes that it is really important to be in the place where decisions are being made about young people. Latvian Scouts and Guides were on the board of the National Youth Council and active in some of the working groups of the National Youth Council. They were also active members of the Youth Organization Advisory Council in the Ministry of Children and Family Affairs. They actively participated in the different meetings of the parliamentary subcommittees where youth law was discussed. This enabled the Latvian Scouts and Guides to react as the draft youth law was changed and gave them the opportunity to develop personal contacts with several members of parliament, who they could then lobby on other important issues. Thanks to the efforts of youth NGOs, including the Latvian Scouts and Guides, the Youth law was passed in May However, their work is not finished they will continue to lobby the government for a bigger and more stable budget line to ensure the youth law will work. 11
12 Introduction 1.4 What is Advocacy? continued Doing take action and implement projects that address root causes of issues affecting girls and young women You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt Actions speak louder than words! Words are powerful tools but influencing is not only convincing others to act but also acting ourselves on issues concerning girls and women worldwide. We need to do things that make people take notice and act on issues that are important to girls and young women. The Girl Guide/Girl Scout Movement understands the needs of young women in the 21st Century and can take action on specific issues at local, national, regional and world level. Sometimes governments, local authorities or other public bodies fail to deliver and NGOs need to step in, hold them accountable and remind them of their commitments. By acting, you influence your community. If you are seen taking action to tackle a problem, you raise awareness and inspire others to join you or to follow your example. Taking action is not just about finding and implementing solutions to a problem. It is also about finding out what is the cause of the problem and taking action to influence those root causes. The actions you take can be used as evidence of the impact you are making and provides your organization with the legitimacy and credibility to speak out on your chosen issues. Advocacy can also mean taking action to put pressure on those who can bring about change and help to build a better world. EXAMPLE: National HIV and AIDS prevention project for Girl Guides The Association of Hungarian Girl Guides are taking the lead in Hungary in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Between 2003 and 2006 they have developed projects to increase knowledge about the prevention of HIV and AIDS amongst year olds. They aimed to increase tolerance and a sense of responsibility towards the illness and towards people infected by HIV and AIDS. They also used non formal education and peer education methods to enable girls and young women to develop the skills to discuss and share information on these issues with their peers confidently so they could take responsible decisions regarding their reproductive health. A new project was designed in 2007 to train young people to organize their own campaigns and to organize projects in their own locality. As a result of the project, 1,500 teenagers received new information on HIV and AIDS, on how they could protect themselves, and on the prejudice and discrimination faced by people living with HIV and AIDS. 12
13 Introduction 1.4 What is Advocacy? continued Educating girls, young women, young people and society at large in areas such as leadership, health, peace and world citizenship Even an ant may harm an elephant. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts learn by doing. WAGGGS national Member Organizations are all experts in education for action, particularly in non-formal education and peer education. Zulu proverb There are a wide range of resources you can use in order to educate your members and society at large on issues that are relevant for young people in today s world. You know the techniques and what works best in your cultural setting. Keep in mind before educating your members and the wider society: Who will benefit from this knowledge? What are you trying to change? What is the most important information? Keep it simple if you add extra elements try not to sacrifice the clarity of your message Is your message and your action clear and easy to understand? EXAMPLE: Healthy food choices in educational programme Following the results of a survey by the European Union which highlighted the levels of childhood obesity in Malta, the Maltese Girl Guides have recently launched the project Get Going. The Get Going project itself is based on three levels: Get Going with the members Get Going with families Get Going with the community Information and resources were obtained by the Maltese Girl Guides from the Maltese Health Promotion Unit. Programme activities have been developed for all age-groups in the Association, from Dolphins to Rangers, to educate the Maltese Girl Guides on the issues surrounding healthy eating. Activities range from learning about the different food groups and the food pyramid, to learning how to shop for healthy food and cook a nutritious meal. Activities for the Ranger section also included looking at the relationship between self-esteem and eating disorders, and other risky behaviours such as using tobacco and alcohol. A diary style kit for each Girl Guide has been designed to empower the girls and evaluate their journey towards a healthy lifestyle. A separate resource kit has also been produced for the leaders to support the activities and objectives of the project. There are plans to further develop the project by organizing an exchange with another Association and to speak out in the local communities on these issues. 13
14 Introduction 1.4 What is Advocacy? continued Educating continued EXAMPLE: Advocacy Seminars in Sangam Sangam s Advocacy Seminars tackle global issues by offering insight for participants into what s happening in the local context of Pune, India. India s cultural traditions, social features and Sangam s expertise in community action are the main reasons why Sangam is the right place for learning about advocacy. Sangam not only educates but makes the concept of advocacy tangible through working with community partner organizations. Participants get to meet and interact with local social worker experts on the field of the seminar topic. Sangam Advocacy Seminars are intense trainings that look at practical aspects of advocacy and discover the global issue that is chosen as the feature topic in-depth. Members from all five WAGGGS regions are encouraged to participate. With this diversity, participants are able to share and experience global issues from many parts of the world. At Sangam, seminar participants are equipped with strong skills in how to make a difference in their own communities and they are encouraged to translate seminar experiences into actions once back home. Being part of a Sangam Advocacy Seminar is a life changing and a very inspirational experience for most of our participants. Also, sending participants is an excellent opportunity for WAGGGS Member Organizations to get started or to extend their work in advocacy. It empowers their members by giving them the chance to develop key leadership skills. Sangam has run two advocacy seminars each year since 2005, when the series of seminars started by exploring children s rights. Topics so far have included children s rights, refugees, trafficking, HIV and Aids prevention, peace and adolescent health. 14
15 Introduction 1.4 What is Advocacy? continued We influence people to take decisions that will improve our life and the lives of others If you don t risk anything, you risk even more. Erica Jong Advocacy is about developing and delivering a message to influence decision-makers. Through advocacy activities, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are trying to influence those who make decisions (governments, members of parliament, civil servants, town leaders, school boards, clubs, etc.) to change or introduce positions, policies, laws and practices that will improve the lives of girls and young women wherever they are in the world today. The decisions which impact the lives of young people occur at many different levels: at international level in the institutions like the United Nations, the Council of Europe or the European Union; at national and regional level, and at local level, by local Councillors or Mayors. We are well-placed as a Movement to influence decision-makers at these different levels because of the structure of our organization: From the local level (local troops/units/groups); national level (Member Organizations); and the regional/ international levels (WAGGGS representatives at the UN, the Europe Region Advocacy Group, regional offices, World Centres, the World Bureau). At all levels, we can speak out to change the lives of girls and young women around the world. Advocacy is a planned process and before you begin your advocacy project, you have to know clearly who you are trying to influence and what kind of change you want to take place. There are a variety of advocacy methods and tools to use and there is no one fixed model. Every advocacy initiative or project will involve a mixture of different methods. Example: Awareness raising, lobbying, campaigning, or developing partnerships. They require you to develop different strategies. Example: A strategy to try to influence decision-makers directly or using public opinion and the media to persuade them to change their minds. TIP: You may not always achieve your advocacy goal in the short term. You will need a step-by-step approach. The key is tracking what happens over time, both in relation to the specific decisions you have been trying to change and in how your members, the general public and decision-makers think about the issues that you are raising. 15
16 Introduction 1.5 What Advocacy is not Part of the frustration in fighting city hall is that city hall is a building. An advocate Whatever the issue, for WAGGGS, advocacy is about taking a stand and working for positive change. We speak out about an important issue that affects girls and young women; we develop projects which directly improve people s lives; and we educate girls and young women so they can positively change the world around them. Only when all three elements speaking out, doing and educating are present can we call it advocacy. Advocacy is not a single activity on speaking out, taking action or educating that stands on its own without the wider context of aiming to influence people who take decisions that improve our life and the lives of others. Some activities may be part of your advocacy initiative, but none of them in their own right aims to influence decision-makers to introduce changes which will improve people s lives. These activities, for example, are not advocacy if they stand by themselves: Producing leaflets about your organization Participating in a training on advocacy Raising awareness and bringing about behaviour change in individuals/girls Fundraising for your camp Informing the government about Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Promoting your Association Advocacy actions are concerned with achieving change. Each of the activities listed above may be part of your communication and external relations activities. They might play a role in your advocacy effort, if you are trying to influence decision-makers to bring about change, but they are not advocacy actions in their own right. 16
17 Introduction 1.5 What Advocacy is not continued TOOL: Exercise on identifying what is/what is not Advocacy Below is the advice given after WAGGGS conducted an Adolescent Health Survey. It provided lots of ideas for how different groups might respond to the advocacy opportunities the survey provided. Which actions are trying influence decision-makers to change their policies, and which are not? Using the results of the Adolescent Health Survey: Tell Girl Guides and Girl Scouts what girls worldwide are saying in other regions and countries Promote your membership of a global organization by using the key messages and statistics from the five regions Support a policy or position on an issue using the information in the survey Draw up a strategy, targeting the media with a key message supported by a statement or position on an issue affecting girls and young women that you want to see changed Send out a media pack with a press release, fact sheet, Position Statements and global case studies to the right media contacts Tell the media how you have been advocating on an issue follow up by telephone or Use a spokesperson either someone in the public eye or a Girl Guide or Girl Scout Use the Internet and your websites to publish your press releases Download the World Association s Media Relations Kit Conduct further research among Girl Guides/Girl Scouts in your country and publish the results Look at the ideas above and decide which are mostly about information sharing, which are about influencing others to share information and which are about influencing decision makers to act. Discuss your findings with your group and try to think of new ideas under each heading from the list above: Information sharing Influencing to promote information sharing Influencing to promote decision-making/action 17
18 Introduction 1.6 Translating the word Advocacy There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say Yes, I ve got dreams, of course I ve got dreams. Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it, and yep, they re still there. Erna Bombeck There is often not one exact, clear and understandable translation of the word advocacy. Sometimes it is difficult to translate the idea of advocacy into the language and culture of different countries. Advocacy can be a lot of things and incorporates a lot of different aspects depending on your circumstances: Educate on a topic Support, argue Hold accountable Act on behalf of... Take action Raise awareness Speak out in public Campaign and lobby Gather information We suggest that you translate the one sentence description (below) on what advocacy is all about and use it as basis to find the best way for you to describe advocacy in your language. TIP: If you are looking for the translation of advocacy in one of the official WAGGGS languages you can find it on the WAGGGS website in the section Our Voice TOOL: Ways to translate Advocacy Translate the one sentence description on what advocacy is all about into your own language: We influence people to take decisions that will improve our lives and the lives of others. Look up in the dictionary how advocacy and to advocate is translated into your language. Alternatively look on WAGGGS websites and other websites of big NGOs or UN agencies which have versions in different languages and see how they translate this term. Discuss the translated term for advocacy in your language and how it does or does not apply to the one sentence description. You might decide on a compromise: you stick with the term widely used in your country that somehow is the translation for advocacy but add the one sentence description in order to explain what it means for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. 18
19 2 Getting involved in Advocacy It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision. Helen Keller Advocacy can happen at all levels of an organization local, national, regional or international. There is no universal recipe for effective advocacy, but experience has shown that it is most effective when planned systematically. Planning will help you to: Clarify your goals Clarify the steps that will take you to your goals Increase your chances of success If you don t plan, you may waste valuable energy, miss some opportunities and perhaps even antagonise people you need to keep on your side. To help you plan your advocacy project, you can use the quick guide on how to plan advocacy or the more detailed guide that takes you step by step through the planning process. It s important to complete a plan before you start your advocacy action because each part of the plan can affect the other. Normally, you begin by deciding what are your advocacy goals. However, when you begin to plan further and consider who you want to target, what actions you want to take or what resources are available, you may have to adjust your advocacy goals. TIP: When planning remember to: Stay flexible although it s a good idea to do as much forward planning as possible, your advocacy campaign needs to be dynamic and able to adjust to changing circumstances Ensure your advocacy actions fit the goals you are trying to achieve Define and refine the style of your advocacy action (one tactic out of control can wreck a whole campaign) Ensure your goals are achievable and cost effective, within your resources, and that you can attract the support of your partners and the wider community Make your group feel good about themselves and what they are doing Bring about change for the good of the community TOOL: Check-list are you advocating? Does your project aim at improving your life and/or the lives of others? yes/no Is it aimed at the wider community outside your Association/group/troop? yes/no Are you aiming at influencing an individual, a group of people or the wider community? yes/no Are you working on a topic relevant to young people in your country or local community? yes/no Are you involving the members of your Association/group/troop? yes/no Only if you can answer all these questions with yes you are working on an advocacy project. If you answer one or more questions with no, you might need a few small adjustments to get on the right track! 19
20 2.1 Six quick steps for involving young people in Advocacy 1 Step 1: Identify an issue Find out what issues the members of your local group care about. They might want better leisure facilities for young people in the local community, to set up a local youth council so young people are consulted on issues affecting them in the community, or they might want to take action to protect the environment, or help people living in poverty. Step 2: Assess the broader context of the issue The group researches the problem to identify how many young people might be affected and who the people are making the decisions they need to contact. Step 3: Decide on a project Based on their research the group brainstorms the solutions to the problem and their advocacy goals. For example, should they try to change local rules or laws or should they try and educate teachers or parents about the issue? Step 4: Create an action plan Next, the group needs to create a detailed action plan to decide how they will achieve their goals. They should think of activities to help them reach their target audience, identify possible partners, and identify what their key message should be. Step 5: Putting the plan into action Next, the group needs to organize the activities they have chosen write a letter to the local mayor, organize a petition, arrange a visit to the local council. Step 6: Review progress Remember, the group needs to keep checking if they will achieve their goals or if they need to change their plans. When the project is completed, decide what worked and what didn t. Record the lessons that can be learned for the next project. TIP: You will find a lot of tools listed in the table of contents which might help you with each of these steps. 1 Adapted from 6 steps to advocacy Girl Scouts USA 20
21 2.2 Developing a successful Advocacy plan step-by-step Whatever you are trying to achieve as part of your advocacy initiative there are a number of things you need to think about. Whether you are a Girl Guide/Girl Scout unit working in your local community or trying to influence a policy or decision at national level, these are eight steps to a successful advocacy plan: 1. Identifying your advocacy goals/what do you want to achieve? 2. Assessing the situation/where are we now? 3. Identifying your resources/what resources do we need? 4. Identifying your milestones/what can we achieve? 5. Identifying your target/who is our target? 6. Identifying the message/what is your message? 7. How can you deliver your message? 8. How do you know you are successful? What do you want to achieve? When you start your advocacy initiative, you are aiming at influencing people who make decisions which will improve your life and the lives of others. Therefore, advocacy initiatives often involve targeting decision-makers such as civil servants, policy-makers or political or elected leaders to bring about a change. It can be at local, regional, national or international level, depending on the issue involved. Often advocacy initiatives can take place at these different levels at the same time. EXAMPLE: Potential Advocacy goals Change or introduce specific laws/policies/guidelines/regulations (at local or national level) Hold decision-makers accountable and remind them of their commitments Change how a specific decision-maker deals with a key issue Ensure that an existing policy which addresses the issue you are concerned with continues to be implemented by policy-makers Stop a damaging policy TIP: There is more information on defining your goals and project management generally in the following publications: WAGGGS Guidelines on Project Management Project Management for Youth Organizations produced by the Council of Europe 21
22 2.2 Developing a successful Advocacy plan step-by-step continued What do you want to achieve? continued How do you identify the issue to advocate about? First of all you need to identify what issue you want to work on. It should be based on your Vision, be relevant to your members and to the group you represent and be an issue that you are passionate about and that motivates you to take action. EXAMPLE: WAGGGS survey on adolescent health In 2005, in response to its members views, WAGGGS decided to focus its advocacy work on adolescent health issues for the WAGGGS triennium WAGGGS conducted its first global survey which resulted in the key messages on adolescent health. Since then WAGGGS staff and volunteers have brought together our experience and expertise on each issue in order to form WAGGGS position. Position Statements on each of the key messages can be found on the WAGGGS website, together with supporting statements on adolescent girls health generally, access to education and on the human rights framework for all of our positions that have been produced. Building on this experience, the lessons learned and our successes, WAGGGS widened its WAGGGS advocacy scope in The key messages and Position Statements on adolescent health became part of the wider Global Action Theme girls worldwide say together we can change our world. It relates to the Millennium Development Goals and talks also about issues like environment and poverty in addition to adolescent health. TIP: If you decide to work on one of the WAGGGS key messages as a group or Association, you can use the Position Statements to help you develop your own advocacy goals and actions at national or local level, depending on your national or local situation. You can download the Position Statements from the Member s Area on There may be other issues which your Association or local group has identified which are issues of concern for young people living in your country or local community. The best way to find out what the important issues are for young people in your country or local community is to ask them! 22
23 2.2 Developing a successful Advocacy plan step-by-step continued What do you want to achieve? continued EXAMPLE: Guides Say Girl Guides Australia National Survey Girl Guides Australia decided to conduct a national survey among their youth membership in 2007 to find out what issues concern them. Girls were invited to identify the top issues that they cared about at a global, national and local level. The Guides say project collected information from girls aged 5 to 17 with respondents from every State and Territory in Australia, including rural and remote areas. It was one of the most extensive surveys of the views of girls conducted by any organization in Australia. Out of the more than 4,500 youth members surveyed the primary global concern was global warming, environment and poverty. The top local concerns included addiction and bullying. Guides over 13 years old also ranked as their top three issues of WAGGGS adolescent health messages: it s important to talk about drugs, discover your potential and prevent adolescent pregnancy. The results of the survey can be viewed on: By conducting this survey Girl Guides Australia gave the girls and young women in their country a voice and were enabled to speak up in public on their behalf. This insight into the thoughts, concerns and values of young Australian girls will guide Girl Guides Australia in their advocacy work at national and local level. It will also influence the development of their future programmes, projects and training. Looking at the needs of young members ensures that the Association remains relevant for today s girls and helps girls and young women to grow into confident, self-respecting, responsible community members. 23
24 2.2 Developing a successful Advocacy plan step-by-step continued What do you want to achieve? continued TOOL: How to conduct a survey among your youth members Step 1: Make a plan Define why you want to have a survey and what you will use the results for. Identify the question you want to be answered. The questions need to be simple and straightforward. Define a time line for your survey. If it is being carried out nationally, you might need to allow three months for your members to respond. It will take less time to organize a survey of your local group. Step 2: Produce resource material You have to make it very easy for your members to conduct the survey and embed it into their usual programme. It might be a good idea to provide the leaders with several programme suggestions to choose from. Also, you must collect other baseline data, like province/state, age, rural/city environment and other information that can be relevant for the interpretation of your data. The data collection can be done effectively using postcards, like the example from Girl Guides Australia below: Step 3: Collate the responses Collect the responses to the survey, analyse the data and produce a report on the results. Step 4: Publish the results Publish a report and use it as a guidance document for your Movement as well as the basis for your future advocacy work. Identify target audiences within and outside the Movement and present them the survey together with a clear instruction on what you want them to do with this information. TIP: You can find more information on how to carry out a research project in your Association in How to Use Research to Enhance Guiding and Scouting produced by the Europe Region WAGGGS and the European Scout Region 24

Dominic Oduro, Dynamo Dominate KC
His first Dynamo goal
Photo courtesy Houston Dynamo
The Houston Dynamo beat the crap out of the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday night over at Robertson Stadium. The 3-0 final doesn't do justice to the Dynamo's game that night. They pushed the tempo of the game, and eventually the Wizards broke down and accepted their fate.
Now, it probably helped that the Dynamo had a one-man advantage for 60 minutes of the game. Davy Arnaud of the Wizards went studs-up into Pat Onstad, who had control of the ball right before he got stomped.
The Wizards started the game strong, even had a few good chances early on to get that first goal. Former Dynamo Kei Kamara had a great opportunity to give KC the lead, and for some payback. But much like what we saw in his time here, he yanked his shot wide right.
Then in the 24th minute, Dominic Oduro made a run up the middle after shaking off a couple of defenders. He found a trailing Luis Angel Landin who chipped the ball onto goal to make it 1-0.

After Arnaud's suspension, the Dynamo were free to push the tempo for the game -- and they did. The second half was all Dynamo.
The second goal came courtesy of Brian Mullan in the 52nd minute. Landin made a swifty pass to a wide-open Mullan, who felt obliged to score the next goal. Then came goal number three, by rookie Sammy Appiah in the 88th minute. Oduro, who by the way hustled his ass off in the game, curled a ball to Appiah to score the last goal.
There was some luck to the goal. Appiah kicked the ball just past the outstretched arms of the KC goalie, and off the sidebar.
This lineup that head coach Dominic Kinnear used had to be the most efficient yet, especially with Brad Davis in as central midfielder and Oduro's speed baffling the Wizards. Not that they didn't expect it, but more so that they didn't expect the rest of the Dynamo team to chase down Oduro's plays.
The Dynamo next play on Wednesday night against state rival, FC Dallas. The Dynamo will be looking to avenge the tie earlier in the season against the Hoops.

| BuecherFreak.Catinca chapter 2 . 10/7/2012
Hello there again,
in the hope that you forgave my outburst, I would like to say that this story looks very interesting. As de jure head of the Hiou family, Airi will have important decisions to make, including the one whether or not she wants to be involved in the (rather dirty and dangerous) vampire politics.
While I don't really know anything much about her personality yet, she also seems to have some flaws (call it instinct, I can't actually name them), which I like.
The fact you left the loyal servant at home (at least for now) is also a new element, which adds, uh, relatability (the word does not really exist, I think) to the story, as almost everyone of us has experienced a situation during which we had to make new friends and adapt to new surroundings without much help.
I'm hoping that this story continues to be as intriguing as it started (questions I asked myself: Does Shizuka know much about her daughter? Does Rido have her included in his plots? How much does Kaname know about her? What is he playing at getting her to the Academy?).
Looking forward to see this story continue,
