The document outlines plans for 501(c)(3) Press, a proposed nonprofit publishing organization. It will publish creative nonfiction written by those with mental health diagnoses to promote understanding and empower authors. Plans include incorporation as a 501(c)(3), using crowdfunding to raise startup funds, an initial book about the founder's experience with schizoaffective disorder, and evaluation of social impact and potential for future projects. The organization aims to address an unmet social need through storytelling.

It has been said that Social Media is the future of advertising. .docxchristiandean12115
It has been said that Social Media is the future of advertising. What is your opinion of social media? Does it empower or exploit?
I believe that Social Media can be both and operates on a fine line. For those over the age of 18, you are aware of the information you are putting out there and the privacy levels of which it is shown. I personally am not bothered by the targeted advertising of which social media is the vehicle because I choose what I participate in and what information I am offering up. For the younger audience that is less aware and more malleable it can work both ways. It can be a great outlet to further self expression, but it can also be detrimental in influencing young minds to look to external sources for self acceptance.
Is social media really worth the kind of money that investors are paying?
Yes, as we move away from print and cable, social media and streaming services are becoming the easiest way to get marketing impressions. If done successfully, items or campaigns trend and reach a huge audience for a lower cost.
Explain what “Like”ing someone’s post on Facebook means to you.
For me "like"ing is a way for me to express my interest in something someone shared. I am fairly selective about liking and only do so when I agree with something, fing entertainment from the content, or have an emotional connection to something shared. I only like content that resonates with me. For some others I think "like"ing something is just a way to identify they read or watched the content and were listening.
Does knowing others “Like” what you “Like” influence you? Explain.
I would not say it particularly influences whether I like something, but does expose or impress upon me new content I might be interested in. I find I enjoy content of those who have common "likes" since we have similar taste. Facebook actually use an algorithm to gear your feed to show content of those who you "like" more. For example, during the presidential elections you likely got more content that agreed with your viewpoints as you liked others who had similar viewpoints and that content then got prioritized on your feed. This can be good because you may not be interested in content of which does not resonate with you, but also bad in limiting your viewpoint.
How do companies use social media to advertise?
Mostly, social media is used by companies to produce targeted marketing through big data or as a vehicle to create trendy content that catches like wildfire. For example, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which raised awareness and donations for ALS by inciting popular content people wanted to be involved in. Marketing till social media was largely hands off, now it's all about the power of the people.
Is social media empowering or exploiting teens?
I think it can be on both ends of the spectrum. From their perspective I think most teens feel they now have a vehicle for their voice and a way to express themselves. From a more adult perspective I.
Designing the Fundable Strategic Plan - ARSL2018 - EverLibrary - 14 sept 2018EveryLibrary
Designing a “Fundable” Strategic Plan by John Chrastka
It’s often difficult to motivate voters or elected officials to say yes to new funding. A “fundable strategic plan” explains not only where the money is going but also who is spending it. Funders and supporters need to also know how outcomes will be enhanced through new features at the library, and diminished across the community if it is not funded. EveryLibrary’s executive director John Chrastka will share actionable insights from nearly 100 library funding campaigns about inclusive planning, and uncover what data drives successful plans.
Accepted and to be presented - https://arsl.info/2018-conference-sessions/

You are preparing for business negotiations with potential partners from Mexico, China, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). You understand that these cultures are vastly different. They have different business customs, social protocols, and languages. However, they also have a strong relationship with several of your vendors so they may be viable business partners for your hamburger franchise expansion project.
1. In order to prepare for your first outreach effort with each country, analyze the cultural similarities and differences that exist between the countries and the United States using Geert Hofstede’s 6 Dimensions as discussed in class. Provide a discussion of these comparisons (400-600 words).
2. Using the United States as a basis for comparison, evaluate each country’s similarities and differences. Use your textbook and the CTU Library to help identify cultural characteristics that will be important during your first meeting with each country. Use a bar graph or table to highlight how the four countries compare to the United States.

Assignment 2 You Are an Entrepreneur! Due Week 6 and worth 280 .docxsherni1
Assignment 2: You Are an Entrepreneur!
Due Week 6 and worth 280 points
Student life does not generally afford a great deal of free time to pursue your personal interests; however, at one point, you may have considered turning a personal interest or hobby into an official enterprise. Today, you have finally decided to turn that hobby into a business but have realized that you need start-up capital from a lender or investor.
To obtain funding, you need to convince a lender / investor that your business is more than a hobby. You need to demonstrate that you have a firm grasp of your business, the accounting practices that impact your business, the controls needed to safeguard assets, and which accounting system will produce accurate and relevant financial information.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page business plan in which you:
1. Describe the type of business you have created including:
a. The product or service, and general staffing plan. Provide a rationale for your plan.
b. The form of your business and the benefits it offers your particular business,
c. A chart of accounts specific to your business, including a rationale as to the selection of each account. (Note: The chart of accounts is a blueprint of your business for the lender/investor. It should report the expected resources that you will consume in your business (assets), the sources of those resources (liabilities and equity), the sources of revenue, and expenditures that you expect to incur to earn those revenues. You may build a detailed chart that includes business units, divisions, product lines, etc.)
2. Based on the form of your business, analyze whether or not you will be required to use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting methods and how the IFRS / GAAP convergence will impact your business. Suggest how you will incorporate any changes into your books and records. (Note: You need to demonstrate to the lender/investor that you have recognized possible changes to GAAP that may impact the accounting and reporting of your accounting events.)
3. Prepare a pro forma balance sheet and income statement providing the assumptions made and support the valuations assigned.
4. Considering the value of assets (assigned per your balance sheet) used within your business, recommend two (2) specific internal controls that you will implement to protect your company’s assets and resources, justifying how each will provide assurances to management. (NOTE: Safeguarding assets and protecting personal data are paramount to ensuring the viability of a business. Demonstrate to the lender/investor that your assets will be safeguarded and customer information (if applicable) will be protected.)
5. Based on the internal control recommendations that you made, suggest how you will implement each within your business environment, indicating how challenges or resistances will be overcome.
6. Evaluate the impact of the r ...

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

3. I. Market Analysis
3
● 501(c)(3) Press’s books are marketable to the general
reading public, but may “target” mental health consumers
and professionals
● Comparable ideas from “competitors:”
○ Hazelden Publishing - mission “is to provide products and services
to help people recognize, understand, and overcome addiction and
closely related problems” (“About Hazelden Publishing”- Hazelden)
• Hazelden’s books, products and website are more focused on assisting
people with recovery from addiction, instead of mental health diagnoses
• 501(c)(3) Press will concentrate on creative nonfiction
○ NAMI’s In Our Own Voice Program - provides “an opportunity for
those who have struggled with mental illness to gain confidence and to
share their individual experiences of recovery and transformation”
(NAMI).
• 501(c)(3) Press seeks to incorporate the personal story-telling of living with
mental illness with the public education goals of IOOV into book format,
allowing for the creative expression of the “consumer” to be emphasized in
the writing
4. II. “Unmet Social Needs”
4
● A nonprofit outlet for creative nonfiction written by “the
disabled” in order to humanize them to others and
empower themselves as individuals
○ Note: multitudes of studies exist that cite therapeutic advantages of writing
by those who may be touched by a mental condition. (For example, please
see Advances in Psychiatric Treatment (2005), vol. 11, 338–346, article by
Karen A. Baikie & Kay Wilhelm entitled “Emotional and physical health
benefits of expressive writing” (can be accessed here:
http://apt.rcpsych.org/content/11/5/338 ).
● An organization devoted to fostering understanding
among the general public regarding those touched with a
mental condition, hopefully contributing to less social
stigma surrounding such persons
5. III. Values, Vision, and Mission
5
● VALUES - understanding, compassion, altruism,
freedom of speech
● VISIONS -
○ (Internal) publishing books of artistic merit and literary value while
offering a publishing outlet for those affected by a “disability” or
similar condition
○ (External) a world where many more people choose to act with
compassion towards others
● MISSION STATEMENT (working) - “to publish
narratives that demonstrate potential social value and
literary merit, that promote public awareness,
understanding and compassion, and to donate a portion
of profits to other worthy nonprofit organizations”
6. IV. Incorporation
6
● 501(c)(3) Charitable Nonprofit/Public Charity
● Meets “charitable purpose” requirement as “literary”
organization under Arts, Culture, and Humanities
● Will meet non-distributive and limits to political activity
requirements
● Will become tax exempt and able to receive tax
deductible contributions (with certain limits)
● Mission-driven and public-serving
● 501(c)(3) Incorporation presents itself as better option
than a for-profit, L3C, B-Corp or other form of nonprofit
7. V. Human Resources
7
● Staff consists solely of Founder/Director
○ Skills and background - nonprofits, administration,
bookkeeping, literature, and knowledge and experience with
mental health disability
○ Only compensated if enough profit is earned
● Open to volunteer(s) and/or unpaid intern(s)
○ To share the functions of reviewing and editing potential
narratives for publication, along with any other non-financial
tasks the Director may assign, such as updating the
organization’s website
8. V. Human Resources
8
● Board of Directors
○ Self-perpetuating, consisting of 5-12 members, recruited from
Director’s social network
○ Seeking background and skills in nonprofit management, financial
management, publishing, writing, editing, and mental health
consumers/advocates
○ Director to serve as first Board Chair and appoints Vice Chair,
Secretary, and Treasurer
○ Functional responsibilities of Board include supporting and
evaluating the Director, working with the Director to establish a
clear organizational mission and purpose, approving programs,
ensuring sound financial management and the organization’s
financial stability, and establishing standards for organizational
performance and holding the Press accountable to those standards
○ Duties of care, loyalty, and obedience
9. VI. First Program Initiative
9
● Through its first book, 501(c)(3) Press will offer readers a
glimpse into the life of the Press’s Founder, who has been
diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder
● The book will cover a period before the actual diagnosis, when
the Founder was unaware that he was “quite ill,” from 1995 until
his official diagnosis in 2000, sharing his journal writings at that
time with retrospective commentary/footnotes.
● The Founder plans to follow-up with another book (volume two)
covering the period of 2001-2005, when his illness was at its
most acute.
10. VI. First Program Initiative
10
● Three purchasable versions of the first book available
○ Founder’s Copy, eleven of which will be available for $125 each
• Each customer will be considered a Founder of the Press and will
receive free copies of all subsequent books authored by the
Founder
○ Regular Print Version, 100 copies available for $20 each
• Prices include shipping, all hand-numbered, signed, and dedicated
to the purchaser.
○ Ebooks are priced at $12 each, and all versions will allow the
purchaser to donate in addition to buying the book or ebook.

ebook orders are pledged, then 501(c)(3) Press will turn a
profit
● Any amounts earned from ebooks presold over 52 will go back
to the Press, which could be used for future programs (books)
and/or donations to other charities
● Again, in the scenario above through startsomegood.com, all
pledges go back to the original source if the tipping/breakeven
point of $4,000 is not reached
14. VIII. Marketing and Promotion

offering readings from the book

15. VIII. Marketing and Promotion
15
● Market Segmentation
○ The Press’s target audience, as examined through a
psychographic lens might include avid readers, casual readers
in the NC region, those who are affected by a mental condition
themselves, those employed in the mental health care field,
those interested in literary creative nonfiction, or simply those
who like a good story and wish to contribute to a worthy cause
○ As for social marketing, the general public is the target
audience, as the social change the works hope to bring about
include promotion of understanding, awareness, and the
reduction of stigmatization of those affected by a mental health
diagnosis
16. IX. Potential Collaboration
16
● Potential nonprofit collaboration
○ The NC Center for Nonprofits
○ The National Alliance on Mental Illness
○ Mental Health America
○ NC Writer’s Network
● Potential for-profit collaboration
○ A printing company who will offer book printing discounts to
nonprofits
● Potential collaboration with government
○ Department of Health and Human Services (in future projects)
○ National Institute for Health
17. X. Evaluation Plans
17
● Is the Press able to raise $4,000 in pledges?
● If yes, work with Board to create bylaws, perform SWOT
analysis and identify strategic issues, setting further goals and
establishing strategies to achieve objectives
● Social Impact Evaluation
○ Follow up with readers to see if any perspectives changed through reading
the book in a survey/questionnaire
• Ex. Statement:“I understand schizophrenia more after reading this book.”
• Ex. Answers : “Strongly agree” “Agree” “Neutral” “Disagree” “Strongly
Disagree”
● Potential follow-up projects may include
○ A second pressing of the Founder’s first book
○ An initial pressing of the Founder’s second book
○ A compilation written by persons with PTSD
18. XI. Conclusion

narratives that demonstrate potential social value
and literary merit, that promote public awareness,
understanding and compassion, and to donate a
portion of profits to other worthy nonprofit
organizations” (open to revision)
