AssistKatrinaVictims.org Site Is Launched to Benefit Victims of Hurricane Katrina
(ContentDesk) September 8, 2005 -- A new website has been created by a suburban Chicago family to aggregate information sources related to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The site provides links to online information sources for cash donations, care packages, volunteers, missing persons, survivor lists, and families opening their homes to evacuees.
Visitors are encouraged to submit information sites which will be reviewed by the site's editors for legitimacy."I continue to hear stories about websites which take advantage of the national interest and goodwill brought about by this disaster.
Everything from selling cheap bracelets while advertising the proceeds go to charity to people creating "phishing" sites which steal cash donations.
I wanted to provide a creative way to help the people whose lives have been turned upside down by this tragedy."
The site also features an area for visitors to post their own sentiments about the tragedy in a forum setting.
"I wanted to create a vehicle for people across the globe to share their thoughts and feelings emanating from the coverage we see on the news networks," said Bryan A. Mjaanes, the site's creator."If this site helps just one family find a lost relative or friend, or even a home to stay until their city is habitable again then my goal has been completely fulfilled," Mjaanes said.Bryan A.

Campbell, CA (ContentDesk) April 12, 2006 -- Instead of spending time this summer going to movies or watching television, students from across the country will be traveling to Southern Spain.
But this is not your typical teen study abroad program.
Through iD Tech Camps Filmmaking & Cultural Immersion course (http://spain.internaldrive.com), students experience Spanish culture through the eyes of a video camera.
And when theyre not creating their own documentary film, they live with a host family, learn Spanish with hundreds of other students from all over the world, and tour Southern Spain gathering footage.
Shawn from Atlanta, Georgia, and Megan from San Jose, California, ventured on this journey.
Not only did these teenagers leave with memories, photos, and a documentary movie, this trip made a lasting impact and opened up a world of possibilities for them.

Is An All Inclusive Resort Right For You?
All-inclusive resorts can really help vacationers get the most out of their travel dollars. Today, over 400 hotels in the Caribbean and Mexico are either all-inclusive resorts or offer all inclusive packages. Destinations such as Aruba, Cancun, St. Thomas, and Bahamas have an infrastructure that is well suited to all-inclusive and not all inclusive resorts because there is a wide election of restaurants and amenities for tourism. Jamaica and the Dominican Republic on the other hand don't have the tourism infrastructure in place and are best suited for all inclusive vacations.You'll want to consider carefully before choosing an all inclusive resort.
Resorts do vary -- some are designed for couples, some for singles, some for gays and some for families. Some cater to a younger or older crowd. There are also some that offer clothing-optional activities. For obvious reasons, most of those don't allow children under 18.The resorts come in all shapes and sizes. Some include airfare...

Ninety Percent of Business Cards Get Dumped Because of Poor Planning
Springfield, MO (ContentDesk) September 1, 2004 -- Many entrepreneurs waste money on poorly designed business cards and as a result, 90 percent of them get dumped. That's according to Chris Brunner, President of GreatFX Business Cards (http://www.greatfxbusinesscards.com), who has just published a free guide, "Unforgettable
Business Cards," to stop the waste and help businesses use their cards to generate more profits."Most business cards are designed with little thought and handed out with little thought. It's hardly surprising then that many are discarded without a second thought," says Brunner.
"Contact information alone doesn't make your card memorable or desirable. You've got to add some marketing sparkle to your cards so that people will remember you and want to do business with you." Brunner believes that a well-designed business card with a strong business message, when handed out appropriately,...
