Departments Take the Lead Put another way: the marcom manager is coming back, and she is pissed.
She becomes monumentally frustrated when IT bottlenecks slow her from making significant changes to her company's sites in web time. This includes changing templates, adjusting publishing rules, and adding new site sections and microsites. She's dispensed with the fantasy that the whole company will publish to the web or intranet, but the CMS still needs to be easy to use and, more importantly, fast for contributors and consumers alike.
WCM software developers have responded by putting more system-management controls in the hands of power users. This has been an awkward transition for vendors who struggle to make traditional developer functions accessible to businesspeople. It has also been challenging for customers, who struggle to reconcile making rapid changes with the critical requirement for proper configuration management and testing. Nevertheless, WCM vendors are increasingly incorporating site management features to traditional content-management tools.
Increasingly, even mid-sized enterprises need to manage multiple web properties, carefully balancing freedom and control among distributed business units and local offices. For senior web managers at global organizations, ECM often means enterprise web content management across multiple time zones and languages.
It Takes Two (or More) The advent of Web 2.0—however hyped—has clearly elevated among senior managers a more sophisticated awareness of the web as an interactive channel. At a minimum, Web 2.0 has exposed and probably widened the traditional gulf between consumer and enterprise experiences with web technologies. A sense that "there is more going on out there" has inspired many enterprises to reconsider how they communicate online.
Web 2.0 is also exposing cracks in WCM space. Much the same way that WCM specialists accuse ECM vendors of "not getting it," many WCM tools that only recently added blog and wiki functionality suffer from complicated interfaces, unfriendly URLs, and other un-Web 2.0 shortcomings.
In particular, the prevalence of sexy Ajax interfaces on the public web makes traditional WCM contributor interfaces seem very outdated. Vendors point out that re-engineering their product UIs is not a trivial matter.
Growing interest in user-generated content (UGC) has also created architectural challenges for integrated WCM packages the same way that the rise of the web caught many document management vendors flat-footed. In enterprise settings, most web-content management services and repositories live in a protected zone behind the firewall, and don't naturally lend themselves to authors coming in from the public web.
To be sure, most enterprise customers don't know yet what it means to "manage" user-generated content, and important questions are stalling some initiatives. Should we put UGC through an approval workflow? Do we need to archive it? Do we expose our internal classification scheme so we can cross-reference internal and user content? And so on.
The renaissance of WCM has proven once and for all that managing content in an interactive, online environment requires particular care and specialized tools. I think, though, that the days of the freewheeling web team are slowly passing. Longtime CMS sage Bob Boiko talks about the "closing of the web frontier," as explorers are gradually replaced by more methodical settlers.
Indeed, the maturation of content management as a discipline has important implications for web teams. Savvy web managers are beginning to look upstream at offline content creation and trying to support essential tagging and chunking earlier in the editorial process. Not surprisingly, in most enterprises this raises deep questions about the stewardship of information bound for multiple channels, as well as new employee obligations for creating and managing documents headed for diverse contexts.
The advent of ECM has also heightened the need for attending to proper content retention. "Web time" is fast, but must all web content be perishable? Webserver storage is cheap, but must you keep all those old, outdated pages? The enterprise has much at stake here, and old-time information managers have a lot to teach webmasters about deciding what to archive and what to delete.
Meanwhile, vendors are making some halting moves to converge the domains of ECM and WCM. Think of it as a kind of reformation after the renaissance. Ultimately, though, it will be customers who teach the marketplace how the tools and approaches need to evolve.

HTC Hero :: Bluetooth Car Stereo Brand / ModelNov 9, 2009
I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice on which car stereo to choose. It doesn't look like there are many brands that officially support the HTC Hero's bluetooth functions. I want to be able to make and receive calls from the head unit or, at the very least, patch my phone calls through the car speakers for handsfree use. I would love to hear if anybody has managed to get their Hero working with any particular car stereo brand/model.View 9 Replies

Boris Ganzelevitch
Yokneam Illit, Israel
Boris Gantselevich, a sports press photographer, was born in 1952 in the city of Krasnoyarsk. He's been living in Israel since 1999. Boris has got a collage degree in geography and biology from Krasnoyarsk Teacher's training college. His photos were published in Krasnoyarsk newspapers and magazines on a regular basis i.e. the newspapers «Krasnoyarsky Komsomolets», «Daily newspaper», « Krasnoyarsk Evening News », « Krasnoyarsk Worker », "Sportswear Magazine".
Boris: "I am interested in speleology, rock-climbing, traveling and sports. In the childhood like most kids I was keen on football. And I certainly had a favorite coach. I was lucky to have very good friends and teachers all through my life. At university I was fond of both – professional photography, mountains and speleology. I am sure that speleology is akin to sports though many people tried to prove otherwise - that it is only a science. Speleology is as difficult in as mountaineering. You have to go hundreds meters down under the ground. It is accompanied by the certain technical and psychological difficulties. After this I was also keen on rock-climbing and mountaineering, but I was not quite fit for these kinds of sports neither in terms of health, nor abilities. Since 1974 sledge sports has been getting more and more popular in Krasnoyarsk. The rock-climbers, speleologists and mountain-climbers were those people who promoted it. I became the judge of a republican category in sledge sports. I was a judge in many competitions. I was also interested in bandy and many other things my life. Lately I have taken a great interest in riding a bike and traveling in Israel where I live now. There is a wood and mountains where I enjoy walking.
I began seriously engaged in photography being a college student. As I've already mentioned, I was always lucky to meet good people - coaches, teachers, etc. I was certainly good at taking photographs, developing a film and printing pictures when I was at the college due to my acquaintance with the photo laboratory manager. But later my hobby has developed into a lifetime hobby. After graduating from college my professional activity has been connected with taking photos and sports. In Krasnoyarsk I worked at the School for Olympic Reserve, (i.e. a school for promising athletes, which might take part in the Olympic Games) and at the Sports Complex\Club for Development of Higher Sports Skills (Top-level Wrestling School) I also supervised over the children's club of photo travelers "Light".
Some words about sports shooting. I is difficult for a photographer to take pictures of sports events if he has never gone in for sports. Besides, there are kinds of sports which are much easier to take pictures of. And very difficult ones. The volleyball, basketball, football refer to the difficult ones. It is easily for me to take pictures of bandy, because there are a lot of interesting situation thee, which make it possible to create a masterpiece. I especially enjoy taking photos of rugby, football, ski races, art gymnastics. As far as sports gymnastics is concerned it is more difficult for me. When you are standing at an edge of a sports ground or in a sports hall, you can have all kinds of emotions and you can't completely concentrate on taking photos. When I was younger I didn't use to speak about it, but now I can admit, that any taking pictures on sports is a holiday, and when all sports events come to an end, you feel sad, that everything is over. I also enjoy rock climbing. I am not good at rock-climbing but I manage to take good photos. I used to make friends with a lot of strongest rock-climbers of former the USSR. Rock-climbing is a very beautiful kind of sports and people who go in for this kind of sport are remarkable.
Unfortunately, I didn't have much opportunity too work as a sports photographer in Israel. I had to work very little. There was no work available, and I have got a few other interests. Anyway the passion to creativity is still there and as a result of it the exhibition project «Gold Jerusalem» was carri experts it turned out to be very remarkable. I dream to ride a bicycle from Israel to Russia back home and take a series pictures while traveling.

Perfect Moments Photography
Gideon Davidson
Kashiwa, Japan
My skills are mainly in the area of travel and people photography.
I love travelling and photography became my means of sharing this passion. Yet I always shied away from cliched imagery, and on photography trips tried to capture something artistic; something that would be a pleasing image in it's own right, regardless on the subject.
Being situated in Japan, I believe I am ideally located to cover events or provide pictures concerning lifestyles here. Having been in Japan for over 12 years I have a fairly good understanding of the culture and have developed an eye for exactly what is different here. I also love Japanese traditional culture, especially the temple gardens and the lively festivals, which I visit whenever I have the chance.

Philosophy: If the picture is good, I'll take it first, then try to understand/interpret it later. Time is of the essence.
Initially self-taught, I am fortunate to count some established professional photographers as my friends. I never stop learning about new techniques and technologies.
Started in Ohio, 2001 - photographing aerobatic displays: Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, Snowbirds, etc.
Returning to Sri Lanka in 2003, I continued with wildlife photography. Over several years, I have been able to capture animals in unusual settings and poses.
I am always trying new things; seeing a unique angle of an object is always the first step to a good picture.
I still photograph high-speed aircraft when the opportunity presents itself.

"Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph" – Andre Kertesz
Street is the extension and reflection of the society. In street, everybody has a story which is untold to another. The story could be a story of love, pain, suffering, joy, excitement, endorsement, success or a common story of daily stuff. But we the passer by do not know the story of others. I am in search of that story in street. I am Reshed kamal, a designer by profession and a photographer by choice to celebrate the life around me. I am a social story teller, a documentary and street photographer. I dig the street, search the moment, get the story and want to say life as it is.

I am a video cameraman/filmmaker with over 10 years experience. Yet, while many photographers are transitioning towards shooting video, I find myself moving the opposite direction. I enjoy the challenge of simplifying my visual communication to a single moment, to try and distil the story into one frame. I am available for multimedia assignments both locally and overseas.

This fabulous Seillean website is privately maintained by a Seillean crew member and is not linked in
Seillean - what does it mean? The meaning of the word Seillean is Gaelic for 'honey bee', and as a bee collects nectar going from flower to flower, the Seillean goes from well to well collecting oil - simple really!
A brief history to date.........
Launched 1987 she was described as "....the most sophisticated merchant vessel in the World", categorised as a SWOPS vessel which stood for "Single-well oil-production system"
Harland and Wolff was the first company in the world to design and construct a fully dynamically positioned floating production, storage and transport vessel for marginal oilfield development - the Seillean, for BP Exploration. Designed and built in the late 1980's, Seillean has been fully operational since the beginning of 1990. View some photographic here.
The Seillean was originally developed by BP in the mid-late 1980's to perform production, storage and transportation operations on the various marginal field developments BP had in their North Sea portfolio at that time. Their principal reasoning for selecting a dynamically positioned FPSO was to provide a production vessel with the level of flexibility and self-sufficiency deemed suitable for operating at different water depth locations for relatively short durations.
Harland and Wolff ship No 1726
BP Shipping took delivery of the Seillean from builders Harland & Wolff in 1989 and operated the vessel first on Cyrus, (production start - April 1990), and then on Donan (where the Seillean started producing during April 1992).
As a consequence of BP's drive in the mid 1990's to streamline their business and focus on core activities, the Seillean was sold in 1993 to Reading & Bates, who continued operating the ship for BP.
In 1998 Reading & Bates were on the verge of signing a contract with Premier Oil for development of the central North Sea marginal field Chestnut when Petrobras approached them regarding their requirement in Brazil for an early production system (EPS) on the Roncador field. Reading & Bates opted for the Brazil opportunity and secured a lucrative six-year production contract with Petrobras, which can be cancelled by Petrobras after four years, subject to certain conditions. This provision was included because Petrobras did not know if the Seillean would perform as well as it has.
Operations under this contract started in January 1999. Transocean took over R&B and Seillean remained with them until 2002, then Frontier Drilling became the new Seillean owners. The contract had a six-year term that started 28 November 1998. The contract was firm for a duration of four years and thereafter the contract could be cancelled by Petrobras at any time on 90 days notice.
Frontier Drilling do Brasil Ltda established it's operations office in Brasil, in the first part of 2003. Seillean was modified enabling her to process heavier crude (API 17). This positioned the Seillean as a unique FPSO in the heavy crude deepwater market.

Having a Malaysian owner / chef is not necessarily a sign you'll get good Malaysian food. I think it depends on the ingredients available, the clientele's tastes, and the amount of time the chef has been away from Malaysia.
How was the yong tau foo?
Thanks for adding us as a friend on Foodbuzz. We welcome you to come visit our site!
Thanks Nate for your comment. That's true.. it's not necessary a sign. I think it is the years of experience. But still the food is good… the consistency and quality.
The Yong Tau Foo is great.

Thanks for the review
nice photography
My fav is the nonya fish 😀 😀 😀

Home > Research Articles > Fundraising How to Have a Good Year in Tough Times
Saturday, January 25, 2003
By Tom Harrison
Here's a prediction for you: When the numbers are all in and counted, 2002 will mark the second consecutive year of a decrease in charitable giving in the U.S. Charities used to double-digit annual growth over the last decade are ill equipped for this sudden and steep reversal.
Yet, while most not-for-profit organizations are paying more to acquire fewer donors and seeing donor income shrink, some nonprofits are not only strong, but growing despite this difficult environment.
Why are some organizations successfully bucking the trend, and what can we all learn from them to improve our results in 2003?
First, the challenge. Individuals account for nearly three-fourths of charitable giving in this country and these individuals are scared.
The economic slump. Terrorism. Talk of War. And, most significantly, the stock market melt down. Consumer confidence is at a nine year low. And charitable giving is dropping along with consumer confidence.
The "same old same old" isn't working anymore To compound the problem even before the economic downturn began, many non-profit fundraisers were already struggling with the challenges of increasing donor value and average gift size in an environment where a large number of nonprofits had become dependent on the use of premiums in mail donor acquisition programs and found themselves competing against each other for new donors in the same pool of mailing lists.
But not all the news is bad. Our oldest and largest client here in the U.S. experienced record income in 2002. Our largest Canadian client experienced record income in 2002 as well. New clients in the human services sector in markets across the country (from Boston to Houston to San Diego) who began working with us this Fall experienced a dramatic increase in acquisition giving.
Why are these organizations succeeding in such difficult times? I believe there are four keys to success:
1. Diversify. Diversify. Diversify. Remember the painful lesson we've learned about the need for diversification in our investments? The same holds true in fundraising.
Successful nonprofits have a balanced fundraising approach with healthy programs in direct response, major gift, planned giving, government funding, corporate/foundation funding and Gifts in Kind. Diversifying reduces risk and maximizes overall income potential.
The other key area for diversification is in new donor acquisition. Direct mail is a vital strategy, but organizations that are overly dependent on direct mail to acquire new donors took a real beating in 2002.
Our most successful clients use direct mail to prospect for new donors, but they also diversify their acquisition across other media channels, including television, space, radio, special events, the Internet and Alternative Response Media (ARM). In fact, one of our largest clients acquired 45% of their new donors through ARM last year. Our research is showing that many of these media channels deliver higher value donors as well.
2. Cultivate relationships that really mean something I'm sorry, but it's not enough to get a gift. To be successful in the hard times nonprofits must bond their donors to their causes. You need to prove to your donors that you are relevant to their lives and that their contribution makes a difference.
Address label mailings may get (low dollar) gifts, but that's not enough to build a relationship with the donor.
We have learned that involvement devices, longer, story-driven copy, three-dimensional packages and even video mailings are highly effective means to build higher quality donors with higher long-term value. We believe that increased donor loyalty is what has fueled our clients' growth during these difficult economic times.
3. Build awareness of your organization People can't give to you if they don't know you're there. People won't give to you until they're convinced of the importance of your work. Every nonprofit needs a strategic public awareness program to support fundraising.
4. Persevere. During times like these when it's more difficult or more costly to raise money, we simply have to work harder and smarter. But never stop.
This was made especially clear after September 11. The charities that continued with their fundraising programs had a tough time, but they continued to raise net income. Then there were the charities that stopped fundraising after September 11, out of fear or sensitivity or paralysis. They raised no money. And some still have not recovered from the mistake.
It's tough out there, but some nonprofits are thriving. They have clear strategic plans. They diversify their fundraising. They use various acquisition channels. They bond their donors to the cause, not just the individual appeal. They tell their stories effectively. And they never, never surrender.
