Описание: Donors share because they want to improve the world. This book equips nonprofit fundraisers to be the people who help donors make their dreams come true. Following the step-by-step approach offered in this book ensures that fundraising is fun, successful and satisfying for all involved. Equal parts fundraising philosophy and practical technique, this book clearly outlines the step-by-step practical methods and formulas needed to conduct donor-centric individual fundraising in a systematic way. It includes guidance for; Annual Fund, Major Gifts, Planned Gifts, Events, Campaigns, Goal Setting, Budgeting, Measuring Impact, Tracking Progress, Communicating Internally and Externally, Celebrating Success, as well as providing a philosophic overview that inspires us to be our best. Because Donors Want to Share also explains why we do the work of fundraising in a donor-centric way. Never boring, this approach provides a resource to the fundraiser who not only needs to design and implement a donor-centric individual fundraising effort but also needs to communicate the rational for such an effort to nonprofit leaders and volunteers who may not be familiar with donor-centric fundraising. This book covers both the why and how of fundraising. Topics include: How do you create a healthy Annual Fund that will provide the financial support your agency needs every year without stress? Who do you identify as prospective donors, how and when do you communicate with them? How do you identify one type of donor from another and how should you communicate with different donor types? How do you identify real major gift prospects from your Annual Fund? After Major Gift prospects are identified, then what? What are Planned Gifts and when are they the best choice? How do you set realistic, exciting, measurable and achievable fundraising goals? How do you connect your fundraising plan with your budget so that your agency is effective and efficient? How do you know if your development staff is working effectively? How can you measure the work of your nonprofit's fundraising staff and volunteers in a donor-centric way? What policies does your nonprofit need to be donor-centric in its fundraising? This book is a practical tool kit for fundraisers, nonprofit board members, executive directors, and anyone who wishes to raise funds from individual donors by helping each donor have his or her maximum philanthropic impact.

Описание: This book offers a new alternative to understanding the relationship between China and Africa. Here, the author not only explores the changing nature of Ethiopia’s internal politics as a result of Chinese investment and commercial links, but also compellingly questions the existing state-centric macro or strategic investigation of China-Africa relations. By thoroughly reviewing and deploying the ‘second image reversed’ approach and the relational concept of state power analytical approaches, Ziso challenges the Western-centric Weberian conceptualization of state. This volume presents an eclectic approach to interpret the state transformation in Ethiopia in light of Chinese capital, arguing for a “state in society” framework which does not treat the state as a unitary black box. This analysis challenges the conventional binary staple which is often framed on whether China is the new imperialist power plundering Africa’s resources or is Africa’s historically all-weather friend. This volume offers an original contribution to knowledge on China’s relations with Ethiopia in particular, and with Africa in general.

Описание: This book introduces the applications of deep learning in various human centric visual analysis tasks, including classical ones like face detection and alignment and some newly rising tasks like fashion clothing parsing. Starting from an overview of current research in human centric visual analysis, the book then presents a tutorial of basic concepts and techniques of deep learning. In addition, the book systematically investigates the main human centric analysis tasks of different levels, ranging from detection and segmentation to parsing and higher-level understanding.
At last, it presents the state-of-the-art solutions based on deep learning for every task, as well as providing sufficient references and extensive discussions. Specifically, this book addresses four important research topics, including 1) localizing persons in images, such as face and pedestrian detection; 2) parsing persons in details, such as human pose and clothing parsing, 3) identifying and verifying persons, such as face and human identification, and 4) high-level human centric tasks, such as person attributes and human activity understanding. This book can serve as reading material and reference text for academic professors / students or industrial engineers working in the field of vision surveillance, biometrics, and human-computer interaction, where human centric visual analysis are indispensable in analysing human identity, pose, attributes, and behaviours for further understanding.
