Elections should be about something. Elections are expensive and cumbersome, and therefore are precious, our main opportunity to connect our government to the major questions it needs to answer.
An election that isn't about anything important is an empty exercise. It may stir interest as a sporting event – a very long horse race – or as a celebrity reality show. But if an election isn't about fundamental issues of human existence and political theory, it's a sham, nothing more than very expensive patriotic bunting draped across the real business of governing.
Many elections are shams. The Soviet bloc had elections, but they were mere political shows, rituals designed to buttress the legitimacy of communist dictatorship. Hosni Mubarak won four elections in Egypt, none of which was about anything since he was unopposed.
An election can be a sham even if it sends the government's leadership packing. Middle school student body elections do that. But then the new leaders accomplish as little as the previous ones. Clearly nothing has changed. Faces shuffle into and out of offices, but the unelected system just keeps grinding along doing what it wills, drawing sustenance from its deep and ever-growing roots. The election turns out to have been about nothing.
Is our current presidential election about anything? If so, what?
Each of the Republican candidates offers the voters a chance to stamp this election with a different answer to these questions.
For example, Mitt Romney says this election is about getting the American economy going again so it can provide jobs. An election about providing jobs is better than nothing, certainly, but it isn't likely to resound as historically profound. No one will ever run against jobs. If Romney wins the nomination and sticks to his theme, he and Obama will debate means, but not ends.
Where Romney's theme is clear but bland, Gingrich's is vivid but mystifying. Gingrich sometimes echoes Andrew Jackson, out to liberate Washington from the thrall of the elites holding it captive, and deliver the national government back into the hands of the common people and their common sense. That would make the election about something big: who governs? Do the "smart" people with their Ivy League credentials govern as wise benefactors over commoners too simple, bitter and clingy to understand the world? Or are the common people better situated to know their own needs and values and thus to govern themselves?
As brilliantly as Gingrich sometimes articulates this theme, the message clashes with the messenger. Gingrich got rich as one of those paternalistic insiders. And he continually strays onto side topics (disciplining the courts, building moon bases) that distract from his message. If Gingrich carries the Republican banner next fall, it will be hard to know what the election is about
Ron Paul wants to make the election about something truly revolutionary – ruthlessly slashing government, retreating from nearly every one of our foreign entanglements, and moving back to the gold standard. There's a big question: should America abandon the 21st Century? But Paul is already at his ceiling in popular support, at about 10% of Republicans. Can 10% of one of the parties set the terms of an election? Obama could win by simply ignoring Paul. As Hosni Mubarak could tell you, an election that's a walkover is not about anything.
This leaves us with Rick Santorum. Santorum has found it hard to get people to take him seriously. His political career was obliterated in 2006 when he lost his Pennsylvania Senate seat by a record margin. He was the butt of jokes even before his loss, as an earnest social conservative out of touch with the times. In this election he had to wait in line for his turn in the spotlight behind such luminaries as Rick Perry, John Huntsman, Rachel Bachmann and Herman Cain.
Now that he is Romney's last and most serious challenger, Santorum can't seem to make up his mind about what the key question is in this election. He has strong opinions on gay rights, abortion, and contraception, and talks about these topics readily. If Santorum wins the nomination, the fall campaign might mostly be about sex and the definition of marriage – decidedly non-federal questions in the Framers' minds, I would guess.
But conservative columnist William Kristol thinks Santorum is trying to make his campaign be about something bigger and more urgent, and more clearly a matter of federal jurisdiction. Kristol (with a second from fellow conservative George Will) believes the Republicans should use the ongoing controversy about President Obama's health care reforms to bring voters'attention to a very big issue: in a time of economic pain and dangerous deficits, should government expand its role so we can use its powers of coercion to be sure people get the help they need? Or should government's role in our lives be scaled back in hopes of reducing the debt and freeing the private sector to meet human needs via the market?
Kristol believes that Santorum would, if he could, make this election about the biggest and most urgent question facing American today. But Kristol is not sure Santorum can break out of his sex-and-family box to help the rest of the nation focus on the bigger question.
Ironically, Obama may be happy to debate the bigger question. He seems to hold firm views about the size and role of government, and is willing to explain them. But if the Republicans nominate someone who sees the election as being about other smaller, or more radical, or more scattered questions – or if the nominee clearly is not up to the task of being President – Obama will accept the walkover, seeing no reason to help the Republican become a more serious and formidable candidate. And we'll have missed a major opportunity that only comes once every four years.

Sometimes you read something that gives you a bit of a kick. This is taken from 'Francis Schaeffer: An Authentic Life' by Collin Duriez, and I found it at Justin Taylor's blog over at the Gospel Coalition:
A large obstacle to his development, which went unnoticed, was severe dyslexia. In later years many of his students at L'Abri noticed what seemed to them amusing mispronunciations: he spoke of Mary Quaint (instead of Quant), the film Dr. Strange Glove (instead of Dr. Strangelove), and Chairman Mayo (instead of Mao). His youngest daughter Deborah Middelmann remembers him frequently calling down to her for the spelling of simple words like who and which, even when she was as young as five or six.
If you don't know anything about Francis Schaeffer do an internet search and be inspired. Whatever challenges you face, nothing can stop you achieving the good works which God has stored up in advance for us to do.

Macworld - Like its desktop cousin, Innovationbox's PassLocker for iOS offers a simple and streamlined interface for managing your logins and passwords. Instead of going for lots of features like its many competitors, the app focuses solely on storing your credentials and helping you retrieve them quickly.
PassLocker's sleek user interface reflects this primary goal by taking you directly to a list of stored passwords, which you can easily copy to your pasteboard and then use in other apps. Creating new entries is just as simple: All you have to do is provide a username and password, and the name of the service they are for.
Unlike other apps in this space, PassLocker does not implement an embedded Web browser that you can use to inject the various bits of information stored in your password locker onto HTML forms. Instead, you can copy any username to the pasteboard by tapping on a small accessory icon next to it in the app's main screen. Tapping on the row causes the display to switch to the corresponding password, which can also be copied using a similar mechanism.
Unfortunately, this mechanism also exposes each password in clear text. I must confess that I find this choice a little odd, because I suspect that most iOS users would expect a tap to cause something different to happen--for example, launching a browser to log you in, or perhaps take you to a different screen from where you can then access usernames and passwords individually. Frankly, I would expect the app to require a bit more effort on my part before giving up passwords for everyone to see.
Like its OS X counterpart, PassLocker for iOS requires you to enter a simple four-digit pin in order to gain access to your stored passwords. On a mobile device--and particularly on an iPhone, where the operating system uses a numeric keyboard with large keys that are hard to miss--this makes logging into the app much easier than a full-blown password. Alas, this approach introduces a significant weakness in the security of the mechanism the app uses to store credentials: Despite the use of a relatively strong form of encryption and a mandatory fifteen-second wait period after three failed login attempts, a brute-force attack that goes through all possible PIN numbers is fairly easy to pull off.
Luckily, this problem can be easily mitigated by password-protecting your device itself; even the standard four-digit PIN supported by iOS essentially doubles the security of PassLocker's built in security mechanism, bringing it to a much more acceptable level.
Thanks to the app's built-in support for iCloud, syncing your data across multiple devices (including OS X machines) is a breeze. Much like on the desktop, this feature worked without a hitch, quickly synchronizing all my logins in a matter of seconds. Besides, if you forget your PIN, iCloud makes it possible for you to recover all your stored credentials by simply reinstalling PassLocker and choosing a new secret number.
Bottom line
Despite its simplicity and ease of use, PassLocker for iOS shares many of the shortcomings that afflict its desktop-bound cousin. The lack of an internal browser, in particular, greatly reduces its usefulness by forcing you to constantly copy-and-paste multiple pieces of data between apps--an operation that can be time consuming on a mobile device. Still, the app, which requires iOS 5.0 or later and is compatible with both iPhones and iPads, costs just $2, making it a reasonable choice if you can live with its limitations.

A to Z: Hematemesis
May also be called: Vomiting of Blood
Hematemesis (say: hee-muh-TEM-uh-sis) is bloody vomit or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. Hematemesis is a sign that someone is bleeding in his or her upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
More to Know
Food enters the stomach through the esophagus and exits through the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. This is the upper gastrointestinal tract. Stomach ulcers, abdominal injuries, overuse of some medications, and certain diseases and conditions can all cause bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
If there is enough blood, it can cause hematemesis. When vomiting occurs, the blood will be bright red if it is fresh, or look like coffee grounds if it has been in the stomach for some time.
Keep in Mind
Hematemesis should be considered an emergency and needs to be treated immediately. Fortunately, many causes of hematemesis clear up on their own, and the majority of cases can be treated effectively without surgery.

Long-time Ludlow resident and mayor. He served for a decade on city council. Klosterman was born on January 29, 1910 in Covington. He married Margaret Terry in 1929 at St. James Church in Ludlow. In 1977, Klosterman was elected mayor when he defeated sitting mayor Buddy L. Waite. Klosterman served two terms (1978-1985). During his tenure as mayor, a number of accomplishments were achieved including: the construction of a new bridge on West Oak Street and the construction of Highpoint Senior Citizens Building.

Capital Group Companies
Capital Group Companies | |
Based in | Los Angeles |
Active in | DR Congo, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone |
Targeted | base metals, precious metals |
Capital Group Companies Inc/ Capital Group International Inc is one of the largest global hedge funds. It won the Mining Fund management award at the 2004 Mines and Money Awards [MJ 8 December 2006].
As of 2009, Capital held 4.95% of Rio Tinto [Hemscott 16 August 2009].
In early 2008 it held:
- 11.19% (as largest single shareholder) of Central African Mining & Exploration Company PLC (Camec) - not to be confused with Cameco, the Canadian uranium mining giant. (see also: RP Explorer Master Fund). Together with a separate stake by its Capital Research and Management subsidiary, Capital's effective holding in Camec was 14.47%.
- 4.5% of Aricom PLC (see Lansdowne Partners);
- 3.38% of European Nickel plc (see Prudential PLC)
As of 30 March 2009, Capital Group held 4.02% of Lonrho Plc (see also: Capital Research and Management).
In November 2007, Camec signed a joint venture agreement with Prairie International Limited, a company controlled by the family of much-criticised diamond dealer, Dan Gertler, to own and operate Mukondo Mountain in DR Congo. This, according to Camec directors, is "believe[d to be] the richest cobalt mine in the world (although Freeport McMoran's own copper-cobalt project in DR Congo bids fair to rival this claim).
As of end-2008, the agreement had not been finalised. Under it, Prairie would sell its stake in Camec for around 39.9% of an enlarged Camec. [Camec press release, 7 February 2008]
Capital Group also held that year:
- 3.07% in GCM Resources, operator of the Phulbari coal mine project in Bangladesh [Hemscott 23 February 2008] (see RAB Capital)
- 9.03% of Oxus Gold PLC (see RAB Capital) [Hemscott 13 February 2008]
- 8.24% of African Minerals Ltd (see Prudential PLC) [Hemscott 3 August 2009]
By 2011, Capital Group held 6.81% of the equity of African Minerals Ltd, active in Sierra Leone [Hemscott 22 February 2011] (see Prudential PLC.

Faten Hamama, one of Egypt's most renowned actresses, has said she wouldn't mind returning to act in movies again, but only if she "gets a script that fits" her.
In an exclusive interview on her birthday, Hamama told Radio Sawa that for her to act in a new movie would require a lot of effort, an artistically written screenplay, and a part that fits her and she is able to perform.
The 81-year-old actress is a widely appreciated artist who has worked with many great Egyptian artists, writers and filmmakers in different eras of Egyptian cinema. When she was only 10, she starred alongside acclaimed musician Mohamed Abdel Wahab in "Rossassa Fi al-Qalb" (Bullet in the Heart), written by Tawfiq al-Hakim.
She then maintained a steady movie career, starring in well-recognized movies such as "Doaa al-Karawan" (The Nightingale's Prayer), directed by Henry Barakat. The film received an award of recognition from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Hamama said she likes playing humanizing roles. "A movie about a certain-aged woman, her problems and feelings, is the kind of cinema I prefer, whether it's drama or comedy."
Hamama, however, said she doesn't like playing historical characters, despite her admiration of history.
While collaborating with Egypt's finest director, Youssef Chahine, in making "Sira Fi al-Wadi" (Struggle in the Valley), she met famous Egyptian actor Omar Sharif. The movie was selected as one of the 150 best Egyptian film productions. After filming, Sharif and Hamama got married, and were together for 20 years. Sharif once said he has never loved a woman the way he loved Hamama.
Hamama has received dozens of awards, including a special award for the film "Imbratoriyat Meem" ('M' Empire) at the Moscow International Film Festival, a Golden Nefertiti Award from the Second Cairo International Film Festival for "Afwah Wa Araneb" (Mouths and Rabbits; 1977), and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Montpelier Mediterranean Film Festival in 1993.
Hamama has made many other contributions outside the world of cinema. Her movie "Oridu Hallan" (I Need a Solution) brought attention to the issue of married women who could not divorce due to legal obstacles. The film was behind the Egyptian law being changed in the favor of women.

Congratulations to American Photo's 2012 Top Ten Wedding Photographers!
There are few areas of photography that demand as broad a range of skills as wedding photography. Wedding shooters have to have the keen eye of a documentarian, the artistry of a portraitist, and the attention to detail of a food or still-life photographer. They also have to have the stamina it takes to shoot all day long. I had the pleasure of speaking with some of the best in the world this spring. Read my American Photo article to hear what they had to say about their craft and see a selection of their images.

After a rough night at the office on Saturday, I gathered what little energy I had left and headed over to my afterparty. I wasn't in the mood after getting my ass kicked for fifteen minutes, a little earlier on. Not wanting to disappoint anyone (or upset the people that worked so hard organizing it!), I got to the club Just before midnight.
El Corazon in Seattle, Washington… awesome venue. We had three bands booked for the show, playing a mix of their own songs and some of my favourites. Cascabel, Hollowpoints and John Pettibone's mighty Heiress. Three storming performances got me excited about how many ass-kicking bands there are out there, that I haven't yet had the pleasure of grinding my teeth to.
Heading back to LA on a late night flight the day after, I got my trusty iPod out, freshly updated with a few new albums. In the added selection I had three albums by three local Nottingham bands, that had all sent me their new work in the past few months. I took the opportunity to dedicate my entire attention to my listeneing skills and see what my city is contributing to angry music.
Starting from 'Z' and scrolling up through my library, I first hit Widows and pressed play. The first track on their album, 'Raise the Monolith', is 'The Kiss of Failure'. A galloping onslaught of smooth, bass-heavy riffs and rough-throated vocals. The only way I can describe them is if you took Pantera, Black Label Society and Clutch, crammed them into a hotrod and drove at top speed until the wheels fell off or it burst into flames. Angry, intense and hell-bent on making your ears bleed.
Continuing up, I found My War, sitting comfortably between Municipal Waste and Nailbomb. They came together from other groups (Varukers, EyeHateGod and Iron Monkey) and formed a strong line of grindcore enthusiasts, to put out their debut album, 'Wounds'. Every song on the record contributes equally to a truly awesome piece of work. Technical and smartly crafted, at the same time as being ferocious and powerful.
Getting towards the upper echelons of the alphabet, I got to F.U.K. Their album was sent to me at the start of training camp, and never left the CD player in my car for the whole ten week stint. It was my adrenaline shot right before a tough session, and is to me, what British punk is all about. Listing 'cider' and 'peoples misery' as their influences, its no suprise that the record turned out as it did.
Pissed-off and politically aware, they hammer through twelve tracks, letting you know exactly what they think of the world. Think Crass or Conflict for the 21st century, it should be played to every tourist coming to the UK on holiday. After doing all of the sugar-coated shit in London, this will help balance your perspective on British society.
To anyone in bands out there, or anyone with the desire to create something, please go ahead and do it. Its important to keep music alive, and the alternative music scene does it better than any other. Thanks for reading and if you get a chance, check out any of the bands I mentioned that you haven't heard of before. Show some support, buy a CD and a shirt and represent.

Havana is the capital of Cuba, a sprawling city of 3 million. It lies at the very northwest of the island. Most people start their trip in Havana and it has a pleasant old and worn feeling to it. The local mix of cigars, rum and music, combined with the numerous vintage cars still driving the Havana streets, has a huge attraction to people.

Mr.White, you "nailed" your analysis of the President. Unfortunately, the 52% of the DEMOCRAT low information voters do NOT educate themselves and support his "redistribution of wealth" and the enabling of more "goverenment dependence". They actually want the "nanny state" so they don't have to work and take care of themselves. Sadly, there will have to be a significant emotional event (ie: US bankruptcy) for these individuals to finally realize Obama's goal of "transforming America" into a socialistic state.

Formerdemliberal is "right on". Unfortunately, DEMOCRAT Liberals only want to SPEND more even though the country is $17 Trillion in debt. Sadly, Dems will NOT accept limited government until the country officially goes bankrupt and the US dollar is useless

Tim Ryan knew he had NO chance of winning the governorship. After failed DEMOCRAT Governor Strickland who had OHIO in $8 billion defecit, while taking Obama stimulus money to pay off the public sector unions, we finally have a REAL LEADER in Governor Kasich. Governor Kasich has gotten rid of the defecit, reduced OH unemployment, brought new businesses into OH and has FINALLY gotten our state into a position of prosperity.

Thank God for the Republican led state legislature and Governor Kasich. Ex Governor Strickland left OHIO with an $8 billion dollar defecit and took OBAMA stimulus money to pay off the public sector unions with NO plan to get the OHIO budget under control.
OHIO finally has a REAL LEADER who has reduced unemployment, brought new businesses into the state and has a REAL PLAN for our state.

Why should the Hobby Lobby pay for ABORTION/STERILIZATION with THEIR corporate tax dollars? The plan of this Administration is to ultimately get corps. to 'Opt out" of healthcare coverage for their employees and the government will have TOTAL control of American healthcare via the Single Payer system. Welcome to SOCIALISM and the loss of the great American healthcare . . .

When were you promised that LIFE would be FAIR? If more individuals would work hard and NOT ENVY those who worked hard and earned what they have, you would NOT have to complain about Income inequality. The constitution does NOT promise Income equality but equality of OPPORTUNITY.
What about the 47% of Americans who pay NO Federal income taxes - is that EQUALITY. They utilize roads, depend on our military, etc. and yet some even get "income credits"/cash to subsist on other's taxes.
There was NO income tax prior to 1913. Even with a Progressive tax system, the Federal government will spend twice what it brings in.

Mr. Gabais's LTE proves that the "low informaton" DEM voters will continue to vote for "cradle to grave" government nanny state which reduces the individual freedoms that the American founding fathers built our country on. Do you think our country would be where it is today if we had free college education, healthcare, etc back in 1776. Our national debt rose 50% in 4 years thanks to the OBAMA REGIME. Only when our country is bankrupt and the dollar devalued by the QE3 printing of money by the Treasury, will the DEM sheeple wake up. Too bad the other 49% have to suffer with them.

Let those without sin "cast the first stone". I'm sure both Chuck_Carney and NoBS have NEVER changed their minds in their entire lives. I personally would prefer NOT taking FEDERAL money for MEDICAID because once the FEDS "hook the state", then OH is responsible from then on.
DEMS are infamous for accusations which contrast the actual facts that Kasich took OH out of the Strickland $8 billion deficit WITHOUT raising taxes. He also lowered the state sales tax and brought new business into OH. The DEM sheeple of Trumbull & Mahoning County are the LOW INFORMATION voters which re-elected a failing President and vote DEM because they refuse to educate themselves.

(Continued from part 1.)
Theologian Wayne Grudem, author of Systematic Theology and two condensed versions, and most recently Politics According to the Bible, debunks in the latter's chapter 1 this belief:
Why should Christians do politics? What we really need is persecution.
Or: Christians' only calling is to preach the Gospel and prepare for persecution.
Or perhaps: If we get too much into politics, we'll inevitably neglect the Gospel.
In reply to that last, I must say that I've come to see how even Reformed Christians, who have an amazing heritage of figuring out where sin comes from (the human heart) sometimes show a strange propensity toward shifting evil's causes toward a Thing, such as politics. And reacting against that, they may (this doesn't apply to everyone) subtly begin to think that getting rid of the Thing, such as downplaying or ignoring certain vocations, is the way to fix our problem.
Scripture would seem to disagree strongly. Government is God's servant (Romans 13) and Christians have many different gifts and callings, all driven by the Gospel, that help build the Church (1 Corinthians 8). If Christians in the past have opted to idolize a calling, such as politics or social work, instead of the Gospel, is that the Thing's fault? No! It's the Christian's fault.
Preach the Gospel, not as a replacement for good Things, but as the way to transform them.
That was the warm-up act (and I'll likely have more thoughts on this soon). Now for Grudem.
7. Doesn't the Bible say that persecution is coming?
Sometimes people ask me, "Why should we try to improve governments when the Bible tells us that persecution is coming in the end times before Christ returns? Doesn't that mean that we should expect governments to become more and more anti-Christian?" (They have in mind passages like Matt. 24:9–12, 21–22; 2 Tim. 3:1–5.)
The answer is that we cannot know when Christ will return or when the events preceding his coming will occur (see Matt. 24:36; 25:13). What we do know is that while we have opportunity, God tells us not to give up but to go on preaching "the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27) and doing "good works" (Eph. 2:10) and loving our neighbors as ourselves (Matt. 22:39). That means we should go on trying to influence governments for good as long as we are able to do so.
If all the Christians who influenced governments for good in previous centuries had just given up and said, "Persecution is coming and governments will become more evil, so there is nothing we can do," then none of those good changes in laws would have come about. There would still be human sacrifice and burning of widows alive and slavery and racial discrimination protected by law. That mentality would have been a defeatist, fatalistic attitude, and it would have led Christians to disobey many of God's commands for how we are to live our lives during this present age. Instead of giving in to such a hopeless attitude, courageous Christians in previous generations sought to do good for others and for governments, and God often blessed their efforts.
8. But won't political involvement distract us from the main task of preaching the Gospel?
At this point someone may object that while political involvement may have some benefits and may do some good, it can so easily distract us, turn unbelievers away from the church, and cause us to neglect the main task of pointing people toward personal trust in Christ. John MacArthur writes, "When the church takes a stance that emphasizes political activism and social moralizing, it always diverts energy and resources away from evangelization." [MacArthur, Why Government Can't Save You, 14.]
Yet the proper question is not, "Does political influence take resources away from evangelism?" but, "Is political influence something God has called us to do?" If God has called some of us to some political influence, then those resources would not be blessed if we diverted them to evangelism—or to the choir, or to teaching Sunday School to children, or to any other use.
In this matter, as in everything else the church does, it would be healthy for Christians to realize that God may call individual Christians to different emphases in their lives. This is because God has placed in the church "varieties of gifts" (1 Cor. 12:4) and the church is an entity that has "many members" but is still "one body" (v. 12).
Therefore God might call someone to devote almost all of his or her time to the choir, someone else to youth work, someone else to evangelism, someone else to preparing refreshments to welcome visitors, and someone else to work with lighting and sound systems. "But if Jim places all his attention on the sound system, won't that distract the church from the main task of preaching the Gospel?" No, not at all. That is not what God has called Jim to emphasize (though he will certainly share the Gospel with others as he has opportunity). Jim's exclusive focus on the church's sound system means he is just being a faithful steward in the responsibility God has given him.
In the same way, I think it is entirely possible that God called Billy Graham to emphasize evangelism and say nothing about politics and also called James Dobson to emphasize a radio ministry to families and to influencing the political world for good. Aren't there enough Christians in the world for us to focus on more than one task? And does God not call us to thousands of different emphases, all in obedience to him?
But the whole ministry of the church will include both emphases. And the teaching ministry from the pulpit should do nothing less than proclaim "the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27). It should teach, over the course of time, on all areas of life and all areas of Bible knowledge. That certainly must include, to some extent, what the Bible says about the purposes of civil government and how that teaching should apply to our situations today.
This means that in a healthy church we will find that some people emphasize influencing the government and politics, others emphasize influencing the business world, others emphasize influencing the educational system, others entertainment and the media, others marriage and the family, and so forth. When that happens, it seems to me that we should encourage, not discourage, one another. We should adopt the attitude toward each other that Paul encouraged in the church at Rome:
Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. . . . So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother (Rom. 14:10–13).
For several different reasons, then, I think the view that says the church should just "do evangelism, not politics" is incorrect.

More time changing lives, less time filling out forms
THE work of charities is often characterised by another word beginning with "ch" – churn. This refers to the amount of time spent in identifying potential funding, preparing grant applications and filling in feedback forms. This "churn" eats hugely into the hours spent on a charity's central purpose – doing the job it was set up to do.
The scramble to get grants for one or two years has a massive effect on operating efficiency. "It can often mean they only do ten months' real work, then things come to a halt while they complete feedback forms and start applying for the next round of grants," says Helen Chambers, head of strategy and delivery at Inspiring Scotland, a body that takes a totally different approach to charitable giving.
Instead of the uncertainty of short-term grants, Inspiring Scotland hands out grants from a huge range of private and public investors – including, crucially, the government – over a period of seven to ten years. Yet this is no easy handout – the security of funding for up to a decade comes at a price.
Performance advisers from Inspiring Scotland keep a close eye on the charity's operations.
Ultimately, if they think a charity is struggling, funding can be withdrawn altogether. This is, however, the nuclear option – all the charities have been carefully chosen and Inspiring Scotland believes they can all move towards a set of clearly-defined goals.
Yet there is a strong sense of tough love, with challenging targets to force charities to reduce their reliance on IS over a period of time – the funding is on a sliding scale, dropping as a proportion of running costs year on year, until ending altogether.
The charity is encouraged to professionalise so its money goes further, to look at increasing income.
"It's important that there is an exit plan," says IS chief executive Andrew Muirhead. "The last thing we are trying to instil is a dependency culture."
To try to maximise impact, IS initially chose to focus on one sector – those 14- to 19-year-olds falling through the net. Formerly known as Neets, they are now labelled as the "More Choices, More Chances" group.
Originally, 300 charities spoke to IS and 172 put in formal applications. They were whittled down to 44, and 24 were selected and received their first year's funding in 2009.
"It was important the 24 worked as a portfolio," says Mr Muirhead. "We looked for a wide range of projects and good geographical spread – our aim was to make a difference in that group of young people who weren't making a good transition to adult life. Our proposition to charities was pretty simple – show us how you are working to move these young people into education, employment or training and we'll talk to you. We did not tell them how they should do it – there are lots of non-traditional hooks to engage that group for whom secondary education just doesn't work."
For Ruts (Rural and Urban Training Schemes), motorbikes are the hook. Caroline Ferguson, manager of the project in Newtongrange, Midlothian, says IS has made a huge difference.
"It has given us a stable base to grow and develop, but it has also brought in new skills," she says. "The performance advisers ask key questions – about how we are progressing, how we are planning for the next few years, and encouraging a much more business-like approach."
Ms Ferguson says this was a big challenge as Ruts created a website, developed a new brand identity, improved its database and put new programmes in place: "It has definitely improved what we do. It's much less hand-to-mouth," she says.
Yet Ruts, like all Inspiring Scotland, needs to show quick results. More than 70 per cent of its year two funding will come from IS, but this will drop to 68 per cent in year three, 55 per cent in year four – and just 15 per cent in year seven.
Inspiring Scotland grew out of the Lloyds TSB Foundation in Scotland – and from a sense too much charitable giving was short-term and fragmented, which led to inefficiency and a sense of under-achievement.
Mr Muirhead says: "I'd meet remarkable people and find they were spending 30 per cent of their time changing light bulbs and 70 per cent of their time filling in forms – that's not smart.
"Charitable donors put their business hats on and looked at how to maximise what they were putting in because they realised this was crazy. There were multiple funding sources and therefore multiple reporting systems and multiple timescales. A view started to emerge that funding should be determined by the business plan and achieving the maximum social impact."
To try to find the best model, Mr Muirhead looked at different models of "venture philanthropy" around the world and said his primary inspiration came from London, Sydney and San Francisco.
A wide range of funding is channelled through IS, from businesses, charitable trusts and foundations, individuals – and government. Rather than relying on what can descend into a scattergun approach to charitable giving, this "pooled resources" approach is both long-term and targeted.
Mr Muirhead said the involvement of government was vital. "Private money does wonderful things, but there is real frustration when government doesn't get it.
"In Scotland, the civil service has been great at understanding, supporting and encouraging what we are trying to do. We learn a lot from our projects and feed that back into public policy – it's a great circle."

Pattaya is 147 km southeast of Bangkok and faces the Gulf of Thailand. The only place of note between Bangkok and Pattaya is a small marina in a housing development in the Bang Pakong River.
The coast southeast from Pattaya to the Cambodian border has many relatively undeveloped islands.
For the moment there is only one really safe year-round haven for yachts along this coast, Ocean Marina just south of Pattaya. There is also a good natural harbour at Sattahip, but this is used by the Royal Thai Navy and is out of bounds.
As a result, there are still not many yachts or motor cruisers plying the coast, but Ocean Marina Yacht Club has recently become active and organizes many cruising flotillas to the islands to the south. The voyage from Pattaya to Koh Kut near the Cambodian border will certainly not lead to crowded anchorages. This trip is well worth the effort, with lots of splendid unspoiled islands to visit.
Koh Chang national park, a group of more than 50 islands near the Cambodian border, is about 200 miles, by land and sea, to the southeast of Bangkok. It is famous for beautiful coral, waterfalls and beaches.
The biggest and northernmost island, Koh Chang (30 km long, 18 km wide), is the second largest in Thailand after Phuket and is also the most tourist developed.
The highest point is Khao Jom Peasat at 744 metres above sea level. The only flat land fringes the ocean on a very narrow strip so it is unlikely an airstrip will ever be built on the island, giving it a good chance of escaping the haphazard development of other Thai islands.
The waters surrounding the islands have a good variety of hard and soft corals. The group is bounded to the south by Koh Kut which is close to the Cambodian border.
The nearest city is Trat, served by highways to Bangkok and an airport. It is the capital of Thailand's most southeastern province, adjoining the Cambodian border. Ferries operate from Laem Ngop to the main islands in the group.
Koh Chang has long sandy beaches, mostly on the west coast, and is still covered with mountainous rain forest for more than 60 percent of its area.
Koh Mak, the major island between Koh Chang and Koh Kut is covered with coconut groves and has a good beach on the northwest bay.
