Rotary foundation Presentation By Ken PooleJonAlhart
The document provides an overview of the Rotary Foundation, including its history, funding sources, expenditures, and future plans. It was established in 1917 as a non-profit to support Rotary International's humanitarian efforts. It is now funded by annual donations from Rotarians totaling over $100 million in 2011. The Foundation spends over 85% of its funds on international programs and grants focused on areas like disease prevention, water/sanitation, and education. Future plans include streamlining the grant process and providing more funding for district-level projects starting in 2013.
This document summarizes a 2013 Rotary International convention workshop on major gifts and Rotary's endowment. It discusses how individual contributions fund sustainable projects to address global needs. It outlines giving opportunities like outright gifts, pledges, and real estate. Panelists described endowed and term gifts to focus areas, and gift recognition levels for the Rotary Peace Centers and Arch C. Klumph Society. Bequest commitments and working with estate planners were also covered.
The document discusses various ways to give to The Rotary Foundation including annual gifts, endowment funds, and term gifts. It provides details on establishing named endowment funds starting at $25,000 that generate earnings in perpetuity. Larger endowment funds can be customized or support areas like peace centers. Term gifts between $15,000-$30,000 fund global grants for areas of focus that may originate worldwide or include a participating district. The endowment fund has grown to over $1 billion thanks to Rotarian generosity worldwide.

Mat Foundation Presentation Abhijatrik-28C Team-AbacuS
This document summarizes a student presentation on mat foundations. It defines a mat foundation as a reinforced concrete slab that supports an entire building. It then lists the group members and outlines the presentation contents, which include the reasons for using mat foundations, different types, construction process, site visits, advantages and disadvantages. The presentation aims to provide a practical understanding of mat foundations and related construction aspects.
This document discusses different types of foundations used in construction. It describes pad, strip, raft, and pile foundations. Pad foundations are suitable for most subsoil types and are usually constructed of reinforced concrete. Strip foundations are used for light structures on stable soil. Raft foundations spread loads over a large area for structures on low bearing soils. Pile foundations transmit loads to deeper soils using columns when suitable shallow foundations are not possible. The document also outlines functions of foundations and materials used, namely concrete composed of cement, aggregates, and water.

The document also outlines functions of foundations and materials used, namely concrete composed of cement, aggregates, and water.
The document summarizes Rotary Foundation programs and grants. It discusses how Foundation grants support Rotary's humanitarian work through large international projects as well as smaller local community projects. Matching grants require partnerships between clubs, while district simplified grants fund smaller international or local projects. The Foundation enables clubs to achieve more through collaboration than they could individually.
Ms. Rodriguez is a 38-year-old female presenting with cough and shortness of breath for 2 days, which is worse than previous similar episodes. She has a history of hypertension, COPD, and end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis. On exam, her temperature is 101.3 and lungs have diminished breath sounds and rales in the right lower lobe. The assessment is pneumonia, and the plan is to obtain a chest x-ray to evaluate for infiltrates and start antibiotics.
A reinforced concrete mat foundation is a common type of foundation system used in many buildings. They are a specific type of shallow foundation that uses bearing capacity of the soil at or near the building base to transmit the loads to the soil. Compared to an ordinary slab on grade, a reinforced concrete mat is much thicker and is subjected to more substantial loads from the building.
The document proposes establishing a charitable foundation in Ukraine to help underserved groups. It outlines two potential focuses for the foundation: 1) Providing educational support to talented children with disabilities or life-threatening illnesses. 2) Creating an informational program to educate the public on preventing diseases like cerebral palsy in children. Background research on existing charities in Ukraine is presented to help define the new foundation's goals and activities. Fundraising strategies, target audiences, and next steps are also discussed to establish and promote the charitable organization.
Raft foundations are used when buildings have heavy loads, compressible soil, or require minimal differential settlement. A raft foundation is a continuous concrete slab that supports all building columns. It can be designed using either a rigid or flexible approach. The rigid approach assumes the raft bridges soil variations, while the flexible approach models soil-structure interaction. Key considerations for raft design include bearing capacity, settlement, stress distribution, and structural component sizing.
This document discusses mat and pile foundations. It describes mat foundations as thick reinforced concrete slabs that transmit loads from columns or walls into the soil. Common uses include supporting storage tanks and industrial equipment. It then discusses different types of mat foundations and how load is distributed depending on soil conditions. The document also outlines the typical procedures for constructing a mat foundation, including soil testing, excavation, reinforcement, forming, and curing. Pile foundations are described as using deep foundations when soil bearing capacity is low. Types of piles are classified based on function, material, and installation method. Factors for selecting the appropriate pile type include loads, soil conditions, structure type, and costs.
The document discusses cardiovascular exercise and provides guidelines on frequency, intensity, time and type (F.I.T.T.) principles for both cardio and strength training. It outlines benefits of cardio like reduced risk of mortality and benefits of strength training like increased muscle mass. Target heart rate ranges and signs that exercise intensity should be reduced are also mentioned. Flexibility guidelines and definitions of METs are briefly covered.
This document discusses the need for raft foundations. Raft foundations are recommended when:
1) Building loads are heavy or soil capacity is low, so individual footings would cover too much area.
2) Soil contains weak lenses or cavities, making differential settlement hard to predict.
3) Structures are sensitive to differential settlement.
4) Structures like silos naturally suit raft foundations.
5) Floating foundations are needed over very weak soil.
6) Buildings require basements or underground pits.
7) Individual footings would experience large bending stresses.
Raft foundations increase capacity, decrease settlement, and equalize differential settlement compared to individual footings. However,
The document discusses the FITT principle for exercise prescription, which stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. It then provides definitions and guidelines for each factor of FITT. For example, it recommends cardio conditioning 3-5 times per week for frequency, using a target heart rate or talk test to monitor intensity, and aiming for 20-60 minutes for time. The document then covers components of workout plans like repetitions, sets, and estimating one-repetition maximum to determine training load. It concludes with an overview of different types of workouts like strength, hypertrophy, endurance, and maintenance.
The Wildlife Friends of Thailand (WFFT) rescue center is located 160 km south of Bangkok in Petchaburi province. The center saves animal lives and cares for them until they can return to the jungle. Thailand has a declining wild elephant population that is now outnumbered by captive elephants, many of which beg for food in cities. The WFFT offers refuge and care to some of these elephants. The center also has important education programs, including an on-site center about wildlife conservation and a planned school program. A new forest restoration project aims to replant degraded forests around the WFFT center and elephant refuge, with a goal of planting 30,000 trees in the second year.
The document provides information on the basics of civil engineering foundations. It discusses the objectives and types of foundations, including shallow foundations like isolated and combined footings, and deep foundations such as pile and pier foundations. Pile foundations can be friction piles or load bearing piles. Factors that determine the size and bearing capacity of foundations are also covered. The document contains diagrams to illustrate foundation components and construction methods.
The document provides an introduction to manufacturing. It defines manufacturing as the process of converting raw materials into products using various processes, equipment, operations and manpower. Manufacturing can be defined technically as applying physical and chemical processes to alter materials, or economically as adding value through processing. The document outlines different types of manufacturing operations including job shop, batch, and mass production and discusses manufacturing systems like lean production and just-in-time. It also summarizes different facility layouts used in manufacturing.
Production involves turning raw materials into finished products that can then be distributed to consumers. There are several types of production methods:
- Job production involves producing single products in a craftsman-like manner and can be expensive and time-consuming.
- Batch production involves making similar products in batches using the same equipment. Workers can specialize in tasks.
- Flow production continuously produces identical products on an assembly line, using more machinery. Workers repeat the same tasks.
Various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and United Nations agencies are working to reduce disparities in Tanzania, one of the poorest countries in East Africa. They are focusing on improving health, education, food production, infrastructure, water access, and other areas. For example, the Red Cross has vaccinated over 14 million children, saving lives, and UNICEF helps build and improve schools. These efforts aim to boost living standards and quality of life in Tanzania over the long run. However, some issues with aid include projects not being sustainable once funding ends and communities becoming too reliant on outside aid.

Insects have sophisticated sensory abilities despite their small size. They can see, even if not as sharply as humans. Many can see ultraviolet light. Insects hear through vibrations and some can detect sounds above the human range. Their sense of taste and smell allow them to identify foods, mates and threats. An insect's sense of touch is aided by small hairs that detect subtle movements and pressures. While humans tend to see insects as lesser, we share the same planet and sensory experiences with over 5 million insect species.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
Optimizing Net Interest Margin (NIM) in the Financial Sector (With Examples).pdfshruti1menon2
NIM is calculated as the difference between interest income earned and interest expenses paid, divided by interest-earning assets.
Importance: NIM serves as a critical measure of a financial institution's profitability and operational efficiency. It reflects how effectively the institution is utilizing its interest-earning assets to generate income while managing interest costs.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
The Universal Account Number (UAN) by EPFO centralizes multiple PF accounts, simplifying management for Indian employees.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

32. Recognition
• Paul Harris Fellowships may be given by a
club to an individual in recognition that they
or the club has donated over $1,000 to
Foundation. Clubs often use them to show
their appreciation for special service to the
club or the community.
• Individual Rotarians who have committed to
donating over $1,000 every year become
members of the Paul Harris Society.
• Rotarians who commit to contribute at least
$10,000 in their wills become members of
the Bequest Society
• Rotarians who commit to donating $100 each
year, including any Gift Aid claimed, become
Sustaining Members.
33. Strategies for increasing levels of
giving
• Recognise that everything
Foundation does is club based
• Increase personal giving as
Sustaining members
• Claim Gift Aid by making
donations personal (through
your own Trust or through
RFUK)
