![]() Since talent (internal or external) can have a tremendous effect on the systems and resources needed, organizations tend to think of maximizing their investment there. It’s having the systems, talent, and resources in place. If having an organization-wide appreciation for stories translates to a willingness to invest in planning for and producing them, then the second dimension of a sustainable culture-capacity-translates into actually making that concrete investment. Nonprofits should look for opportunities to highlight the outcomes (anecdotal or quantitative) of shared stories and how they helped achieve measurable goals, and even build this reporting into meetings where the staff share stories. The process of systematically evaluating story success becomes critically important when thinking about reinforcing an organization-wide mindset and appreciation for stories. ![]() But the results were transformational-a more engaged, connected audience and tons of internal excitement around the power of stories. “Everyone was nervous and uncertain about it, right up until the last minute,” he said. Geatz worked with each director to identify a personal story about their work and to build their confidence in telling that personal story in front of a group of their peers. He immediately banned PowerPoint slides from the next meeting, imploring them to tell a single story instead. “People in the audience were literally falling asleep,” he said of the first meeting of country directors he attended years ago. ![]() Ron Geatz, director of global content at the Nature Conservancy, describes how an organization that is very fact- and data-driven began to embrace the power of stories. Sometimes, it takes an “aha!” moment to get everyone in the organization excited about the power of stories. “You’re essentially strengthening your organization’s capacity by building more storytellers.” “If you are going to build a storytelling culture, you need to expose everyone to how it works,” says Roger Burks, a communications specialist and former senior writer at Mercy Corps and CARE. Regardless of whether the instigator of a nonprofit’s storytelling culture comes from the bottom or the top, experts agree that the mindset of thinking and communicating in terms of stories must permeate throughout the organization to be successful. We discovered two main components: a mindset and appreciation for stories, and capacity. So what, exactly, do we mean by a “storytelling culture,” and how do nonprofits go about building one? While producing applied storytelling research, tools, and trainings during our yearlong Stories Worth Telling project at Georgetown University’s Center for Social Impact Communication, we looked at hundreds of nonprofit stories and interviewed more than a dozen organizations with compelling evidence of having this elusive culture nailed down. Far fewer conversations are dedicated to the “how”-specifically, how nonprofits (especially smaller ones) can develop a sustainable system for collecting and sharing stories. In fact, in a survey of Washington, DC-based nonprofits we conducted last year, 96 percent of respondents said that storytelling is an important part of their communications. It’s safe to say that most organizations understand the need for stories as a tool for engaging potential donors, funders, and supporters. Much of the conversation about nonprofit storytelling today focuses on why organizations should tell stories. And for many organizations, it’s the difference between investing in telling the organization’s story in a more compelling way-or not investing. It’s the difference between having one person in the organization dedicated to storytelling (whether that’s the CEO, development director, or head of communications) and everyone in the organization having compelling stories at their fingertips. This, combined with its low intelligence requirement, makes it a potent tool for wearing down stronger opponents even if the wielder isn't a dedicated sorcerer.A vibrant storytelling culture means the difference between whether your organization has a living, breathing portfolio of different stories, from different perspectives, that share its impact-or just a single, somewhat stagnant story. The Poison inflicted by this staff is significantly stronger than other strains of Poison, and only gets more powerful the more health the target has. ![]() However, what the Storyteller's Staff does possess is a unique skill, Poison Spores, which inflicts a unique strain of Poison upon enemies that get caught by it. As such, as a means for dealing spell damage, there is little reason to use this staff over others. It is outclassed at almost all points by more basic staves like the Sorcerer's Staff and Heretic's Staff. As a Sorcery catalyst, the Storyteller's Staff is a rather mediocre tool.

![]() Many of these manuscripts are now in the collections of museums, libraries, and private individuals, both in the region as well as overseas.Īs emphasized by specialists of Islamic illumination, the art of illumination of the Terengganu Quran is highly developed. Over the centuries, many Quran and religious manuscripts were produced in local script and with localized design in the sultanates of Brunei, Indonesia (Java, Palembang), Philippines (Sulu), Malaysia (Terengganu), and Thailand (Patani). These include the envelope flap, cover boards squared with the text block, and no raised band at the spine. Compared with the western bookbinding structure, Islamic books have some unique characteristics. Islamic book binding has its influence from the Middle East. With religious books, a new book format was introduced, along with bookbinding. For the royal patronage, beautifully illuminated copies of the Quran with gold decorated leather covers were commissioned. However, with trade and colonization, European paper became available and became popular as a writing material.īecause the Quran is the central text of Islam, the hand copying of the texts and teachings was practiced in local religious schools. Traditionally scripts were written on locally available materials such as palm leaves, textiles, bark paper, bamboo, and wood. The spread of Islam to South East Asia in the 1400’s influenced the literary tradition of royal courts and religious centers in early kingdoms of Java, Aceh, Melaka, and Brunei. “It is from Terengganu that we find the most brilliant illuminated Quran in the whole of South East Asia” ![]() Hopefully someone with more knowledge of gmail will comment. Your outgoing (SMTP) server does not change. The difference, in Thunderbird, is that the server name is usually different, and the access method is set to POP or IMAP. You can set up 2 'accounts' in Thunderbird both pointing to that one email provider account. That account has an email address and login details. You have a single account with your email provider (gmail, ISP, whatever). I changed that account to IMAP - it was on on a new computer - but I don't remember what was involved. My wife used it with POP some years ago and I recall there were options within gmail (settable in the webmail client) governing what email was retreived and how 'delete from server' was interpreted. As I mentioned, gmail is non-standard in several ways. Not ideal, but seems the least risky option for me. I think what I will do is use gmail,whilst away from my main computer the desktop, and when I get home, forward the important ones to myself on the desktop.

The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. Because this file format is compatible with almost every device, converting your images to JPG would mean that you can use your photographs with any software as you typically do. It’s commonly used as a method for image compression, especially for digital photography. JPG (or JPEG) is one of the original standardized image formats. However, a downside of this new photo format is that many programs, along with any Windows operating system, does not support this file format yet. It means that any sunset photos taken now will retain their original vividness, unlike the old JPEG format which reduces the quality of the image due to the 8-bit capacity. That will save a load of memory space on your Apple devices.Īnother feature of HEIC is that it also supports 16-bit deep color images, which is a game-changer for iPhone photographers. The reason why Apple started to use this new file format is that it has a high-compression rate while retaining the original quality of the images.īasically, when a JPEG image takes 4 MB of your phone’s memory, a HEIC image will only take about half of that. HEIC stands for High Efficiency Image Coding, which is Apple’s version of the HEIF image format. Method 2: Use an Online Conversion Tool. Eleven-inch front discs were standard on the GT, with 10-inch drums at the rear. Faster-geared steering reduced turns lock-to-lock to just four (versus 5.5).

They don’t state which engine this is, but it appears to be a 3.0 naturally aspirated engine out of an E300. It’s said to be a good daily driver, but there are a few fix things that should probably be fixed to make it a comfortable driver.

The interior is especially interesting, with a mixture of original Ford bits, Mercedes seats, a custom shifter and orange shag carpet. After doing so much work, why not just fix the issues?

I can’t say for sure, but hopefully the seller will be able to provide more insight on the floors and the reinforcement work. ![]() ![]() They even reinforced the floors with steel tubing, which really makes me nervous.

Comfort aside, it’s important to know how to wear the shoe to fit best. Having said that, the shoe can be pulled tighter with the elastic laces or left loose if you need a bit more space. And I feel comfortable (which includes my feet) saying that Crocs knows what they’re doing. I would liken the comfort to a cushier croc, which makes sense considering they bought Hey Dude in early 2022. If you’re new here, the Wally shoe hits that magical sweet spot between too narrow and too wide. The fit on the Wally is consistent with the rest of Hey Dude’s shoes. These shoes can still easily pair with clothes you already own. But that doesn’t mean they lack in the looks department. The biggest selling feature of this shoe, as with all of the brand’s shoes, is the utmost commitment to comfort. The Wally will look just as good with a pair of straight-cut dad jeans as they would with any casual pants (think chinos). I would note this is the brand’s most casual option-perfect for everyday errands and general running around. Hey Dude shoes offer a variety of designs to choose from, but the most popular option, by far, is the Wally.

It didn’t always work out when I had to go to soccer practice, but nevertheless, I persisted. To balance out the stories (one for each parent, you know the drill), much to the annoyance of my dad, there was also a time when I insisted on wearing a clip-on tie with everything. Even my mom recalls when I would stubbornly choose to wear a Robin costume when all the other kids were racing around as Batman. I never really cared about following the crowd. Ever since I was a child, I was confident in making my own sartorial choices. Now I like to think of myself as my own man.
