A screenshot of the donations history portion of the Church Online Donations website.
According to a statement issued by the Church on Wednesday, April 29, approval has been given for an electronic method for members in the United States to pay tithing and submit other charitable donations such as humanitarian relief. The Church Online Donations website will be rolled out to congregations in the United States throughout 2015, and the Church will notify local leaders when it is available in their area.
The website will allow members in the United States an additional way to submit contributions to the Church. Tithing, fast offerings and other donations have been given in envelopes to the local bishoprics or branch presidencies.
"The new online donations process does not replace previous methods for paying tithes and offerings,” said Church public affairs representative Eric Hawkins. Other methods of making donations — such as online transactions through local banks, credit unions or "bill payment" processes — will still be available. “ "If someone still wants to pay with an envelope, that is still fine. This is simply another option," he said.
The Church’s Finance and Records Department says the initial site not only demonstrated a simplified donation process for members, but also showed that this new approach reduced the load on local leaders and clerks charged with processing donations. The Church will notify local leaders when it becomes available in their area.
“The new online donation system requires the use of a U.S. bank account," said Brother Hawkins. “If someone lives in another country but has an account in the U.S., it may be available to them."
Another benefit of the new online system is the ability to contribute to a friend's or family member’s LDS mission. Regardless of Church membership, with an LDS account, individuals can donate to help financially support an LDS missionary without needing to mail or deliver an envelope to local leadership.

Let me share to you an article I found and It was anonymous
-It is titled Communications-Listening
1.Want to listen. Almost all problems in listening
can be overcome by having the right attitudes.
Remember, there is no such thing as disinteresting
people - only disinterested listeners.
2. Act like a good listener. Be alert. Sit straight.
Lean forward if appropriate. Let your face radiate interest.
3. Listen to understand. Do not just listen for the
sake of listening. Listen to gain a real understanding
of what is being said.
4. React. The only time a person likes to be interupted
is when applauded. Be generous with your applause,
make the other person feel important. Applaud with
nods, smiles, comments, encouragement.
5.Stop talking - you can't listen while you are talking.
6.Empathize with the other person. Try to put yourself
in the other's place so that you can see that point of view.
7. Ask questions. When you don't understand, when you
need further clarification, when you want the other
person to like you, when you want to show you are
listening: But don't ask questions that will embarras or
"put down" the other person.
8. Concentrate on what the other is saying. Actively
focus your attention on the words, the ideas, and
the feelings related to the subject.
9. Look at the other persons, face, mouth, eyes, hands,
will all help the other person communicate with you.
Helps you concentrate, too. Shows you are listening.
10. Smile appropriately. But don't overdo it.
11. Leave your emotions behind (if you can). Try to push
your worries, your fears, your problems away. They may
prevent you from listening well.
12. Get rid of distractions. Put down any papers, pencils,
etc., you have in your hands: they may distract your attention.
13. Get the main points (the big picture). Concentrate on
the main ideas and not the illustrative material:
examples, stories, statistics, etc., are important,
but usually are not the main points. Examine them only
to see if they prove, support, define the main ideas.
14. Share responsibility for communication. Only part of
the responsibility rests with the speaker: you as the
listener have an important part. Try to understand, and
if you don't, ask for clarification.
15. React to ideas, not to the person. Don't allow your
reaction to the person to influence your interpretation
of words. Good ideas can come from people with looks or
personality you don't like.
16. Don't argue mentally. When you are trying to understand
the other person, it is a handicap to argue mentally while you
are listening. This sets up a barrier between you and the speaker.
17. Use the difference in rate. You can listen faster than anyone
can talk, so use this rate difference to your advantage by trying
to stay on the right tract. Think back over what the speaker
has said. Rate difference: speech rate is about 100 - 150 words
per minute; Thinking: 500.
18. Don't antagonize the speaker. You may cause the other person
to conceal ideas, emotions, attitudes by being antagonizing in any
of a number of ways: arguing, criticizing, taking notes, not taking notes,
asking questions, not asking questions, etc., Try to judge and be aware
of the effect you are having on the other person.
Adapt to the speker.
19. Avoid hasty judgements. Wait until all the facts are in before
making any judgements.
20. Listening is fun: develop this attitude.
Make a game of seeing how well you can listen.
I hope you like it........Oscar

10. “Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another” – G.K. Chesterton Education connects you with the stories, theories and accomplishments of faraway cultures and generations. It offers you a body of knowledge greater than you can ever gain on your own in one lifetime.

http://www.singleswarehouse.co.uk/warehouselife/ in the busy modern world, where Millennials spend their days glued to their desks, working hard to climb the career ladder hoping to eventually earn enough to cover the rising cost of living, it can be hard for single people to get out there and find someone to share their life with. That is why so many young people are now looking for love online.
Internet dating is something of a special science and singletons should be aware of the way they present themselves if they want to be sure of attracting the right kind of date – and potentially building a relationship.
Here we look at some of the dos and don’ts of online dating, to help singles get the most out of their internet love search experience.
Getting the right photo for your online dating profile
First, you MUST have your photo on your profile to get a date; profiles with no picture are skipped over by online daters.
Choose a photograph that you feel is actually representative of the person you are – a recent photo that has not been overly edited or filtered is the best – you want your date to recognise you if you meet in person and not to be disappointed that the real life version looks so different.
Research has shown that photos hinting at your social life and hobbies can be helpful – think a picture taken on the ski slope, or while wearing your workout gear.
The perfect profile
Once you have picked your picture, it is time to turn you attention to your profile. If you are wondering how to write your dating profile to best attract online daters, there are few hard and fast rules, however, the biggest one is that you must be positive and not sell yourself short!
If blowing your own trumpet doesn’t come easily, you can ask a friend to write on your behalf – it’s often easier for others to highlight our plus points.
Getting in touch
Once your dating profile goes live it is time to start making connections – but how should you handle these early contacts? If you are sending the first message, keep it short and positive. Mention points from the prospect’s profile to show you are interested in more than just their picture and try to create some common ground using this information.
If the conversation continues make plans to meet sooner rather than later – you don’t want to invest too much time in someone with whom you might not share any real life chemistry.
