INTRODUCTION This policy statement is designed to ensure that all gifts to, or for the use of, Goucher College are structured to provide maximum benefits for the donor and the college. Because some gift situations might be complex, or more costly than beneficial, or restricted in a manner not in keeping with the goals of the college, this policy has been developed to establish standards by which all gifts will be evaluated, as well as a formal process for carrying out such evaluations. This policy is intended as a guide and allows for some flexibility on a case-by-case basis. II. GUIDING PRINCIPLES Goucher College encourages gifts in support of its mission as a private liberal arts college. Goucher College seeks to implement a gift acceptance policy that will protect: the best interests of the donor; the welfare of Goucher College; and the Goucher College employees charged with the management of the gift planning program. Donors are encouraged to consult with their personal advisors (accountants, certified estate or financial planners, attorneys, investment brokers, etc.) before making any gift to the college, particularly a planned gift. The college reserves the right not to accept certain gifts, including those from which the college will realize little or no financial gain, or which are made for purposes that are inconsistent with the college’s educational mission, or which have restrictions that violate the college’s ethical standards or require illegal discrimination. Donations of gifts for unrestricted, general purposes are encouraged because of the flexibility they provide in meeting the most pressing needs of Goucher College. The college shall acknowledge all gifts and donations in a manner that respects and honors the donor. In accepting a gift, the college also accepts a responsibility to the donor to steward that gift. This includes administering the gift properly, providing the donor with appropriate financial information about the gift, and, when appropriate, reporting to the donor about the use of the gift. The entire Gift Acceptance Policy can be obtained by contacting the Office of Gift Planning at 410-337-6358. You can also view the Gift Acceptance Policy here .

Birthday Present for Under

How to Buy a Great Birthday Present for Under $10 - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Holidays & Traditions Center Gift Giving How to Buy a Great Birthday Present for Under $10 Let's face it--the primary reason we spend more than we want to is last-minute desperation. But you can stay beneath the $10 mark and still give someone a birthday smile. Keep a stash of ready-wrapped, always-welcome gifts (and birthday cards) for both sexes and all ages on hand, and you'll never box yourself into a corner. Overall Warnings: In theory, there's nothing wrong with recycling gifts you've received that would suit someone else much better.

Birthday Present

Novint Falcon The Novint Falcon Product Overview Users hold the stylus, which moves freely in 3D, like a pen to touch and interact with virtual shapes and objects on the computer. The 3D Touch Revolution Feel the Difference Some innovations represent incremental improvements and some change the world forever. Consider how the invention of sound impacted motion pictures, or how graphics made the Internet what it is today. Novint develops groundbreaking technology that adds the third sense, interactive 3D touch, to the computer, fundamentally changing how people play and interact. With our introduction of the Novint Falcon, the first interface device to bring 3D touch to the consumer market, you can now feel objects and experience a realistic sense of touch on your computer for the first time. Touch a piece of sandpaper and feel its gritty surface - feel the force of a golf club as it swings and connects with a ball - feel and shape digital models and data. Novints patented technology brings a new level of realism to computing, inspiring an evolution in video gaming and a future of touch enabled products. The Novint Falcon, which is designed to retail for under $100, is the only consumer device to provide three-dimensional, high fidelity force feedback. Unlike any consumer force feedback product on the market, the Novint Falcon enables users to move right and left, forward and backwards, like they do with other devices, plus up and down. Users can now experience a full range of realistic touch sensations including shape, texture, weight and dynamics. The Novint Falcon connects to a PC through a USB port and its footprint is approximately 9x 9, comparable to a mousepad and most joysticks or peripherals. Novint has partnered with Lunar Design and Force Dimension in the development of the Novint Falcon. Please download our Product Overview for more information, including a product comparison. Whats in a name? The Novint Falcon takes its name from one of natures most powerful birds of prey. Moving gracefully through the air, in three dimensions, the Falcon outperforms existing force feedback joysticks and traditional mice, delivering high-fidelity, 3D touch and a realistic and immersive experience that surpasses existing point and click technology. With its effortless glide and touch interface design, and sophisticated haptic engineering, the Novint Falcon, like its namesake, is a natural predator of the mouse, destined to change computing forever. How the Novint Falcon Works Users hold onto the handle of the Novint Falcon, which moves left and right, and forwards and backwards, like a computer mouse, but which also moves up and down. The interchangeable handle, or end effector can come in many shapes and forms. As the Novint Falcon is moved, the computer keeps track of a 3D cursor. When the 3D cursor touches a virtual object, the computer registers contact with that object, and updates currents to motors in the device to create an appropriate force to the devices handle, which the user feels. The computer updates the position of the device, and updates the currents to the motors a thousand times a second (i.e. at a 1 kilohertz rate), providing a very realistic sense of touch. The 3 electrical motors are connected to the 3 arms extending out of the device, 1 motor connected to each arm. The 3 arms are connected to the devices handle. At any given cycle, or 1/1000 th of a second, the device can create a force on the handle in any direction of any magnitude, up to the maximum force. As an example of how one would touch a virtual object, when a 3D cursor touches a virtual sphere, there is a force normal (perpendicular) to the surface. The device therefore pushes in the radial direction away from the center of the sphere, proportional to how hard the user pushes against the sphere. The computer keeps track of the direction of the force (based on the position of the cursor) and the amount of the force, 1000 times a second which lets the user slide the 3D cursor across the surface of the sphere, giving it a consistent smooth feel. The effect is that the cursor, and therefore device, physically cannot move through the sphere, and it is actually a virtual solid object. When one looks at the Novint Falcon itself (rather than the cursor and sphere graphics on the computer screen), one can see the invisible sphere in the haptic workspace where the haptic device cannot move it is really there, and you can really touch it! Additionally, other forces and algorithms can be used to give the sphere texture, dynamic properties (i.e. it can bounce like a ball), deformability, or a variety of other effects. It is a truly amazing and revolutionary technology. 2005 Novint Technologies, Inc.
