A modest proposal
The New Philanthropy
Human beings adapt very quickly to increased wealth. Research shows that even after the life-changing windfall of a lottery win, people are no happier one year later than they were before. The fact is that, once you have covered life’s essentials, your well-being remains static. Money really doesn’t buy you happiness.
This is because we instinctively compare ourselves to others, and there’s always someone always wealthier than you: once you’ve caught up with the Joneses, there’s the Smiths, the Changs and the Abramovichs. Someone always has a bigger boat.
In fact, as vast swathes of psychological research show, there is only one proven way to increase your happiness and that is giving. Giving makes you healthier both mentally and physically; givers live longer.
Smart wealthy people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett know this, but they are also looking beyond the here and now. They are ensuring their legacy.
Since the dawn of the industrial revolution, there have always been wealthy philanthropists, but the nature of giving has changed recently. The current generation of givers are ensuring their place in history in very different ways to the likes of Ford, Getty, Rockefeller and Carnegie. We call this the New Philanthropy.
The New Philanthropy is not about ego, monuments or statues; it’s about discreet social welfare initiatives and social change.
It’s not about charity fund-raising gala dinners, it’s not renaming a local university, or a hospital wing, and it’s not because of tax or legal incentives; it’s about grand global life-saving initiatives.
New Philanthropists are just as likely to be born in India, Russia, China or Brazil as they are in the West. They use their innate ingenuity to create new ways of giving like microfinance, they exploit their tech-savvy to capitalise on the internet and their drive and business skills mean they often run their foundations themselves.
New Philanthropists are personally invested, they don’t just donate.
They are modern internationalists from all corners of the globe, they are open-minded entrepreneurs, they are trying to unlock the world’s potential and they’d like our help.
So don't be like the bank that (indirectly) pay one of our wages. Enable these people. Make the world a better place. 16:21:00 by Jack Rosevear and Will Phipps Delete

Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] closer look at these special shoes.
The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]MBT[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]MBT shoes[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]MBT[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT shoes[/URL][/B] work for some people.
More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]MBT[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]MBT shoes[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]MBT shoes[/U] on your lower joints.
Another particular claim [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] of MBT is that is you walk one mile in these weight [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] loss shoes it will be as if you walked two miles in ordinary shoes, and you will burn equivalent calories. One thing [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] is for sure, users find that after the first few [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] times they walk in the shoes their calf and thigh muscles are sore. Also, while you are [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] just starting to use the shoes they will feel uncomfortable [U]mbt sandals[/U] but that feeling goes away after twenty [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] minutes or so. Once you get used to the feel of the shoes users find that they can [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] walk effortlessly and comfortably. The shape of the sole is designed [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] to make you walk with your back straight and your [B]MBT[/B] stomach flat, and your whole stride shortens up and quickens. These are [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] the major effects that owners of MBT shoes [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] experience.
