The three Dimitri brothers are referred to as the Dimitri Three. Dallas, Destiny, and Déjà Vu are actresses, known as Triple D.
Each named puppy has his or her own personality and interests. For example, Da Vinci loves creating art; Deepak enjoys yoga and likes a calm atmosphere; and Dawkins is into science. While parents Delilah and Doug go to work, Dylan and Dolly take care of the rest of the puppies, sometimes with aid from Dawkins and Deepak, as they are not too much younger than them. Other Sources

Search for: To CFRE or not to CFRE – that is the question
Published by Rory Greenon August 11, 2014August 11, 2014
The CFRE (Certified Fund Raising Executive)is a professional certification for fundraisers, which is quite well known in North America. To qualify to write the CFRE exam – professional fundraisers must have a minimum of five years’ experience (among other requirements). Over the last six months, an internal debate has been raging: should I get a CFRE? Do I need a CFRE? Do I want a CFRE? I’ve asked and interviewed hundreds of fundraisers from around the world and heard a range of responses on the topic, including: “It wasn’t life changing”
“There are other, better, professional development programs out there”
“I wouldn’t have gotten my current Director role without it. It shows full fundraising competency for fundraisers.” | 0 | 980 |

“I wouldn’t have gotten my current Director role without it. It shows full fundraising competency for fundraisers.” “Have you met some of the CFREs out there? It means nothing”
“The CFRE indicates a dedication to the profession and the advancement of skills, standards and practices.” “I felt that at as a young professional early in my career it was definitely worth it…an achievement I can carry forward.” “Ha! Don’t waste your time.” | 603 | 1,301 |

“The CFRE indicates a dedication to the profession and the advancement of skills, standards and practices.” “I felt that at as a young professional early in my career it was definitely worth it…an achievement I can carry forward.” “Ha! Don’t waste your time.” “I got my CFRE and was immediately given a raise”
“It only matters to a small group of people”
These are broad and diverse answers ranging from positive, to apathetic, to negative. Everyone seems to have a unique view on the designation – let’s explore the arguments…
The Good
Increased credibility: I’m 25. I chose fundraising as my profession when I was 17. Unlike many fundraisers, I didn’t have a career as a banker or real estate agent or journalist before finding fund development as my profession. | 980 | 1,805 |

Increased credibility: I’m 25. I chose fundraising as my profession when I was 17. Unlike many fundraisers, I didn’t have a career as a banker or real estate agent or journalist before finding fund development as my profession. That means that I have the same level of experience as many of my peers – but with far fewer grey hairs. While I have never faced outright discrimination, there have been times when my age has been a disadvantage. The promise of “increased credibility” and being taken seriously as a fundraising professional is the most compelling and appealing reason why I would pursue a CFRE. Studying and learning: One of the most valuable parts of having a CFRE is studying for the test. | 1,301 | 2,281 |

Not all CFREs are good fundraisers. Not all good fundraisers are CFREs. This is a theme I heard over and over again. There are many, many excellent fundraisers who are raising tremendous amounts of money and who don’t have a CFRE. A number of people I spoke with expressed their disappointment with CFREs they had hired and worked with. It certainly isn’t regarded as a seal of quality.

These aren’t arguments against getting a CFRE but rather things about the designation that are a bit troubling and I think need to be discussed. My main problem with the designation is that the CFRE isn’t an inclusive and accessible designation for a number of reasons. It largely legitimizes people who I would classify as belonging to advantaged groups, reinforcing dominant culture power dynamics that exist in our sector.

The way I look at is individual giving hasn’t grown in decades (since before many of were even born!) The ‘best’ practises being passed down deliver the worst results, but because that’s all we’ve ever got it’s all we ever expect. Net result is nothing changes. I don’t know any of the specifics of this course but if it’s perpetuating the status quo, if it’s teaching how to do what we’ve always done, then while it may be helpful to our careers it’s harmful for our beneficiaries.

Some of us are built that way: you’ve just got to see if you can climb the cliff, whatever the cliff is. Two decades later, I’ve moved so far beyond my credential that I no longer even use it (the ABC is not especially appropriate to fundraising work) … but I’m permanently glad I made the effort at the time. It was a milestone. It forced me to think about things I didn’t normally think about. | 8,127 | 8,935 |

How to ‘WOW’ your trustees by reducing your ROI
Published by Giles Pegram on June 11, 2015

So what’s the problem? Income – expenditure = profit. This is one of the fundamentals for anyone in business. However, when these same business people come into a charity’s trustees meeting, profit, or net income as we fundraisers would call it, goes out of the window. What matters is increasing income and reducing expenditure. Annual ROI is king. I cannot count the number of times I was asked how I could “improve “ ROI. And always feeling “That is the wrong question“. The charity sector usually looks at the wrong metrics. So what is the right question ? | 0 | 731 |

The charity sector usually looks at the wrong metrics. So what is the right question ? Once I was asked, by the NSPCC’s new treasurer, (Jon R Aisbitt, then a partner at Goldman Sachs) “ If you reduced ROI, how much additional net income could you raise?” ( You had to be pretty sharp to be a partner at Goldman Sachs).

How to ‘WOW’ your trustees by reducing your ROI | Once I was asked, by the NSPCC’s new treasurer, (Jon R Aisbitt, then a partner at Goldman Sachs) “ If you reduced ROI, how much additional net income could you raise?” ( You had to be pretty sharp to be a partner at Goldman Sachs). I was knocked off my feet. Here was a trustee actually suggesting we spent more, not less. And he seemed to understand that if we spent more, we’d raise more, even at a lower ROI. This extraordinary insight got carried into our actions. An increase in net income enables you to do more for your beneficiaries. Expenditure on fundraising drives net income. But how often have we been asked by our trustees to spend more on fundraising, and reduce ROI ? In order to optimise the net income available for services? | 731 | 1,474 |

Expenditure on fundraising drives net income. But how often have we been asked by our trustees to spend more on fundraising, and reduce ROI ? In order to optimise the net income available for services? Not often enough. So what did you do? One of the best things we did was to invest in regular giving. Donors often prefer to give a small amount often rather than a single larger sum. And most people are paid monthly. | 1,143 | 1,691 |

How to ‘WOW’ your trustees by reducing your ROI | Not often enough. So what did you do? One of the best things we did was to invest in regular giving. Donors often prefer to give a small amount often rather than a single larger sum. And most people are paid monthly. For the charity monthly giving works well not just because it’s popular and easier but because inertia can act in our favour. People have to take positive action to cancel a direct debit, but can easily just decide not to give a cash gift. Measures of propensity to give such as RFV (recency, frequency and value), which were highly unsatisfactory at the best of times, became irrelevant. In regular giving, you look at recruitment, upgrading, extra cash gifts, additional touch points, (e.g. trading, challenge event, volunteering, campaigning) and retention. And find suitable measures for each of them. | 1,475 | 2,297 |

It shows two ways of investing £1m of your reserves. In the first scenario, on day 1, you leave them in the bond market, and over ten years you get the return in the red line . This is what most charities do with most of their free reserves. An investment committee at your charity probably spends hours looking at whether the red line could be 10 per cent higher. However, the purple line shows what would happen if you invest that £1m in recruiting regular givers, stewarding them, upgrading them and keeping them. | 2,297 | 3,251 |

For the first two years you are running at a loss, and it takes five years before it looks respectable as an alternative to the security of the bond market. You don’t break even until year two, and after three years you have made just £500,000 profit. Hardly a risk-free way of looking at your reserves? Yes. | 3,252 | 4,034 |

You need to tie up the reserves for three years. Few charities couldn’t afford that. As you get to ten years, overall return is near 3:1, unheard of in any stock or bond market. And the line is continuing upwards, as you are left after ten years with a cohort of loyal donors. The LTV of these donors is unknown.

In a similar chart at NSPCC the shape was, of course, roughly the same. An enlightened finance committee, chaired by Jon R Aisbitt, agreed that we should increase expenditure by £1m each year on regular giving recruitment, until the crossover point for break-even became unacceptable. As a result of this, the income from NSPCC’s regular giving programme increased by 17 times, from £5m p.a. to £85m p.a. So your CFO, your CEO, your treasurer and your finance committee agreed that money, that otherwise could be spent on services, could be siphoned off on a venture that would only pay dividends after they had probably left the Charity? | 4,749 | 5,679 |

Pipe dream figures? No, actual figures based on previous actual results, not adjusted for any improvement we might make. And not counting the legacy potential of long term regular givers. Many charities have already started to see legacies from long-term regular givers. | 5,040 | 6,050 |

So, what would a master’s degree student say? I presented the slide at a lecture I gave to the master’s course in fundraising at Cass Business School. They couldn’t understand why any charity wouldn’t put business school principles to work in a charity that could afford to release £1m, (or £100k, dependent on the size of the charity) for a period of two to three years, for effectively a guaranteed return. I couldn’t answer them, except to say that some trustees would say that some donors wouldn’t like it. | 5,679 | 6,652 |

Yet I have never heard a donor complain that we shouldn’t invest a proportion of their money on recruiting new donors. In fact, I have asked donors if, after a small amount is deducted for governance and central administration, they would be happy if 20 per cent of their donation went on finding new donors, and 80 per cent on the cause. They have always said ‘yes ‘. You could be on to something here. | 6,051 | 7,056 |

‘Be My Valentine?’ What Does That Even Mean These Days

3 min read
Many college students laugh at the word “chivalry,” but the term suddenly becomes relevant and useful between the months of January and February. Why? Well, single people who walk around saying, “I’m doing me” all year now find themselves scanning through their phone numbers and pointing cupid’s arrow at some random man or woman — just to say they have a Valentine. Valentine’s Day is one of the most bittersweet, and (not to mention) entertaining times of the year. Some women start putting on extra coats of mascara, so they can bat their eyelashes 10 times more than usual to reel in their men. While men, especially, make a point to run to open doors for women or offer to carry their books to class. | 0 | 1,930 |

| Since chivalry often makes its grand appearance only once a year, what is today’s true meaning behind the question, “Will you be my Valentine?” Does agreeing to be someone’s Valentine serve as a stepping-stone into a relationship? Negative, says Carlos Ganz, a sophomore at Bellevue College in Washington. “Being my Valentine means that you’re that special and the only person I will be spoiling the day of,” Ganz explains. “ It doesn’t mean we are in a relationship. It just means for that day, I express to you in words, gifts and actions what you or your friendship means to me in a more intimate manner.” So basically asking someone to be your Valentine is that one good chance of getting out of the friend-zone. But if the spark isn’t there, you and your Valentine-friend can continue to walk around campus claiming that love is for people who are soft like Drake. Some women tend to put a lot of thought into buying a man the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Truth is, for guys like Eric Fagan, a sophomore at Palm Beach State College, flowers, chocolate and a candlelight dinner are not Valentine’s Day rituals that get them in the mood. | 1,931 | 3,071 |

Men are mainly in the mood for what will happen after the candlelight dinner, Fagan says. “When a guy asks a girl to be his Valentine, it’s just to make a girl feel special to see if he will get some,” Fagan explains. “ Guys don’t want candy or a pillow pet.

#73 Punctuated Equilibrium
Many people have never even heard of The Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium. It has been around since 1972 and it spells the end of Darwinism as you know it. As I have explained fully in Proof #18, The Fossil Record [1] and Proof #58, The Cambrian Explosion [2], there is no evidence in the fossil record for Darwinism, the slow and gradual emergence of new species from previous species by passing through transitional forms (also called Missing Links, see Proof #64 [3]). Even Darwin himself recognized this, but he blamed an inadequate fossil record. Ever since Darwin, as more and more fossils were discovered without any transitional forms, evolutionists found this only an uninteresting observation not disproof, if they acknowledged it at all. Certainly they kept it an unspoken secret if it could damage belief in Darwinism. Here are two quotes from 1980. “The missing link between man and the apes, whose absence has comforted religious fundamentalists since the days of Darwin, is merely the most glamorous of a whole hierarchy of phantom creatures. In the fossil record, missing links are the rule: | 0 | 1,229 |

Here are two quotes from 1980. “The missing link between man and the apes, whose absence has comforted religious fundamentalists since the days of Darwin, is merely the most glamorous of a whole hierarchy of phantom creatures. In the fossil record, missing links are the rule: the story of life is as disjointed as a silent newsreel, in which species succeed one another as abruptly as Balkan prime ministers. The more scientists have searched for the transitional forms between species, the more they have been frustrated.” [ 4]
“… Evidence from fossils now points overwhelmingly away from classical Darwinism which most Americans learned in high school:…Increasingly scientists now believe that species change little for millions of years and then evolve quickly, in a kind of quantum leap…The theory is still being worked out” [5]
You didn’t know that Evolutionists don’t believe in Darwinism any more, did you? Darwinism actually began to die out among paleontologists even earlier in 1954 when Ernst Mayr published his paper, “Change of genetic environment and evolution". [ 6] He showed that Darwin’s theory of slow and gradual evolution could not work in real life if there were large numbers of a given species. | 674 | 2,170 |

[ 6] He showed that Darwin’s theory of slow and gradual evolution could not work in real life if there were large numbers of a given species. He proposed “Allopatric speciation” as the process of evolution and it was generally accepted by 1972. “Allopatric speciation suggests that species with large central populations are stabilized by their large volume and the process of gene flow. New and even beneficial mutations are diluted by the population's large size and are unable to reach fixation, due to such factors as constantly changing environments. If this is the case, then the transformation of whole lineages should be rare, as the fossil record indicates.” [ 7]
After 120 years of observing the fossil record, the evolutionists finally recognized that any given species does not change much, if at all, for millions upon millions of years. | 1,230 | 2,878 |

The evolutionists let them go on teaching Darwinian evolution that they themselves no longer believe. “In 1972, paleontologists Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould published a landmark paper developing this theory and called it punctuated equilibria. Their paper built upon Ernst Mayr's theory of geographic speciation, I. Michael Lerner's theories of developmental and genetic homeostasis, as well as their own empirical research. Eldredge and Gould proposed that the degree of gradualism commonly attributed to Charles Darwin is virtually nonexistent in the fossil record, and that stasis dominates the history of most fossil species.” [ 8]

Let me add my own emphasis to double the impact: Darwinian gradualism is virtually nonexistent. The Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium states that a species will stay almost exactly the same for millions of years, i.e. in stasis or equilibrium, until there are sudden “punctuated” changes of a huge degree and a whole new species emerges in a very short period of time. The original species will probably continue to exist but a new daughter species will spring up suddenly in some isolated location from a small population. Only a small group of individuals could change so radically in a short geological time frame into a new species. Here is an astounding statement which is found in Wikipedia. “ | 3,337 | 4,678 |

Here is an astounding statement which is found in Wikipedia. “ Before Eldredge and Gould alerted their colleagues to the prominence of stasis in the fossil record, most evolutionists considered stasis to be rare or unimportant.” [ 9] Darwinism predicts there is slow and gradual change over time and yet Wikipedia says the fact that nothing was changing over time was unimportant to them! This admission and the new theory obviously turns Darwinism on its head. However, evolutionists, even if they don’t see evidence, still believe it is the truth. Evolution is still true even if they can’t find evidence yet. | 4,029 | 5,225 |

| Before Eldredge and Gould alerted their colleagues to the prominence of stasis in the fossil record, most evolutionists considered stasis to be rare or unimportant.” [ 9] Darwinism predicts there is slow and gradual change over time and yet Wikipedia says the fact that nothing was changing over time was unimportant to them! This admission and the new theory obviously turns Darwinism on its head. However, evolutionists, even if they don’t see evidence, still believe it is the truth. Evolution is still true even if they can’t find evidence yet. Besides, they concluded, there was never any real requirement that the changes be slow and gradual. “…at a conference in mid-October at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History, the majority of 160 of the world’s top paleontologists, anatomists, evolutionary geneticists and developmental biologists supported some form of this theory of “punctuated equilibria.” [ 10]
Let me say that more clearly for you. A majority of the world’s top scientists agreed in 1980 that Darwinism as it was taught to you in school is false. Hence my conclusion, Darwinism has died. | 4,678 | 5,788 |

Therefore for teachers to teach that scientists believe in Darwinism has been false since at least 1980. Punctuated Equilibrium accounts for the fossil record much better than Darwinism. But you are probably asking yourself, “How could such massive changes take place evolving a new species in a short period of time if it hasn't happened over millions of years?” The new theory explains this by saying that the massive changes take place in small fringe populations that get isolated from the larger populations. The huge changes take place in a short geologic period of time, i.e. a few thousand years through processes something like inbreeding and major environmental shifts. | 5,226 | 6,468 |

This is very helpful because it explains why there are no transitional fossils, no missing links. The populations were isolated and also there were relatively few individuals, therefore they were less likely to leave fossils in the record. It’s also very helpful to evolutionists because it predicts that you won’t find the fossils you need to prove it’s true. So also you conveniently won’t be able to find any evidence that the theory is false either. Many philosophers of science accept a definition of a valid scientific theory as one that is based upon (1) repeatable observations, (2) one that is subject to testing and making accurate predictions, and (3) one that is "falsifiable." | 5,788 | 7,158 |

Their theorized descriptions come off sounding very scientific and very complicated, but the bottom line is that there is no evidence that the process actually works or could work. Here is an astounding statement by an evolutionist. “The core observation that once most species show up in the fossil record they exhibit hardly any change at all – not uncommonly remaining essentially static for millions of years – was made 150 years ago and was known to Darwin, but little was made of it until comparatively recently.” [ | 6,468 | 7,992 |

That quote is from Niles Eldredge, who came up with punctuated equilibrium. He can say it is no big deal, but it means traditional Darwinism is dying out, if it’s not already dead. To me that is certainly very revolutionary. Why, because all the schools teaching Darwinism need to stop it right now. Probably, it will take time, but the handwriting is already on the wall. | 7,992 | 8,739 |

Darwinism is dead. What you and I learned in school and what is still being taught today is FALSE and they know it. And they don’t have any viable proof for their latest theory either, just blind faith and hope they can find some other mechanism in the future to make the theory come true without God. I thought you should know what many of the scientists have admitted to themselves since 1972. We believers can see that evolutionism is pure faith, not science, even if they can’t. | 8,363 | 9,222 |

Actually their faith is less scientific than someone’s faith that there is a Creator God. The theory of a Creator better explains the scientific facts. Maybe if evolutionists keep researching, they’ll eventually find God, but only if they are willing to go where the evidence leads them. The only truly scientific conclusion is that there must be God. ----------------------------------------

How to Perform an Emergency Tracheotomy in the Field
A tracheotomy is an emergency medical procedure that is used when a patient receives a trauma to the throat and the trachea, or windpipe, becomes obstructed. It is a relatively simple procedure, but it also involves a lot of risk to the patient. Consequently, even paramedics are not always allowed to perform a tracheotomy in certain parts of the country. However, it is an important technique to know about in case you encounter a life or death situation and professional help is not available. When to do a Tracheotomy
The tracheotomy is only used in situations where the patient cannot breathe because their mouth or upper throat is obstructed by blood, cartilage, swelling or foreign objects. It is not meant to be used for respiratory arrest or obstructions that are below the Adam’s apple. Consequently, it’s important to assess the nature of the trauma before deciding to use this last-ditch procedure. Finding the Spot
You are looking for a soft spot of tissue between the rings that make up the larynx in the center area of the neck. For men, the first step is to locate the Adam’s apple. In women, there is still a small bulge, but it is less-defined. | 0 | 1,343 |

You are looking for a soft spot of tissue between the rings that make up the larynx in the center area of the neck. For men, the first step is to locate the Adam’s apple. In women, there is still a small bulge, but it is less-defined. In both men and women, the area around where the Adam’s apple should be is called the thyroid cartilage. Gently run your finger down the windpipe for about ½ to 1 inch until you come across another, smaller bulge. This is called the cricoid cartilage. The soft tissue between the two bulges is where you will make your incision. Getting Started
The first step is to lay the patent down and gently arch their neck and head up and back. | 879 | 1,778 |

The first step is to lay the patent down and gently arch their neck and head up and back. This will expose the trachea and make it easier to identify the location to make the incision. It also makes it easier to perform the procedure as the skin around the windpipe will be stretched. Make sure the patient is not breathing and try a couple of rescue breaths to see if the chest rises or falls before deciding to continue. Making the Incision
Once you’ve located the soft tissue, take your scalpel, razor blade or even sharp, small knife and make a ½ inch long horizontal incision. You will need to apply enough pressure to cut through the skin and tissue in one pass, but not too much that you end up deforming or shattering the windpipe in the process. | 1,344 | 2,443 |

Unfortunately, most of us who would be doing this procedure will probably not have an opportunity to practice beforehand. Aim for a cut that is also about ½ inch deep, and hold the blade in your hands in a spot that limits how deep it can be inserted. There should not be a lot of blood after you make the incision, and you can quickly use some gauze or clean fabric to wipe the area before continuing on to the next step. Inserting the Tube
The next step is to quickly insert some sort of tube into the incision so that air can be delivered to the patient. You can use anything from aquarium or surgical tubing to the sheath of a disposable pen. | 1,779 | 3,090 |

You may need to wiggle it into the cut in order to expand the surrounding tissue enough to stick it inside the windpipe. Place the tube between ½ to 1 inch down so that it rests in the center of the windpipe and not the backside. Otherwise, air may not be able to pass through.

A tracheotomy is meant as an intermediate step that buys time for the patient to breathe during a trauma. However, ample oxygen will not be delivered to the lungs, and the patient’s condition can quickly deteriorate even with this form of intervention. Consider sending someone out to get help or blaze a trail for everyone to evacuate at the same time that you start this procedure. This will reduce the amount of time that the patient has to wait before getting appropriate medical attention. | 4,036 | 5,199 |

The World’s Most Dangerous Turtles
Most people don’t think of turtles as being a threat to humans. However, there are a few species that have a ferocious bite that can lead to serious injury or death. Let’s take a closer look at turtles that are best to be avoided whenever possible. Leatherback Sea Turtle
This turtle is not only the largest in the world, but it is also one of the most fearsome. They can grow to more than eight feet long and weigh in at over 2000 lbs. They also have a very sharp and strong bite that can shatter the bones of its prey and hulls of wooden boats. What makes the leatherback even more fearsome is the rows and rows of sharp teeth that extend all the way down the back of the throat and esophagus. While they are not known to seek out humans for prey, there have been reports of sea-going individuals getting crushed as they found themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time. Alligator Snapping Turtle
This is the largest freshwater turtle in the world, and they can grow more than four feet long and weigh in at over 200 lbs. Some reports suggest that encounters with turtles that are double this size have occurred over time as well. | 0 | 1,350 |

This is the largest freshwater turtle in the world, and they can grow more than four feet long and weigh in at over 200 lbs. Some reports suggest that encounters with turtles that are double this size have occurred over time as well. They have a razor-sharp beak that shreds anything from bone to wood and even aluminum as their bite exerts thousands of pounds of force. While snapping turtles generally seek out humans for their next meal, many swimmers have been crushed, amputated and even drowned as a result of rare attacks. Big-Headed Turtle
These river and lake-dwelling turtles can reach more than two feet in length, and they have a huge, distinctive head that can not be retracted into their shell. They compensate for this weakness by possessing a bony head along with a razor-sharp hooked beak that can pulverize almost anything that it grabs. They are nocturnal and fiercely protective of its territory and eggs. | 650 | 2,042 |

They compensate for this weakness by possessing a bony head along with a razor-sharp hooked beak that can pulverize almost anything that it grabs. They are nocturnal and fiercely protective of its territory and eggs. They hide by burrowing in gravel or sand along river banks and behind waterfalls and strike unwary prey if they get too close. Many unwary swimmers or bathers have lost a limb or foot due to an unfortunate encounter with these small but vicious creatures. Soft Shell Turtles
These strange-looking creatures resemble a turtle in the front but have a body that flares out and flattens in the back. They tend to hide in sand and suddenly pounce on prey if they get too close. They have an extraordinarily hard bite that can shatter bone and amputate feet and hands. | 1,351 | 2,605 |

There are species that exist all over the world, and attacks on humans are not uncommon, but they are generally due to people stepping on them or posing some sort of threat. Mata Mata Turtle
This turtle has a long neck and flat, spiny head in addition to a fearsome looking shell. They also possess two sets of razor-sharp teeth. Mata Mata turtes are river-dwellers that are not indigenous to North America yet. However, there have been reports of sightings in rivers and streams in the deep south and Florida. | 2,043 | 3,116 |
