There are hundreds available. Kickstarter and Indiegogo are the two best options for commercial projects. Mycause.com.au generates more than $12 million a year for personal causes. Kickstarter is quite popular but rather picky about the projects they allow. (They're looking strictly for "creative" ideas.) It can actually be difficult to make it onto their homepage because of high traffic. The smaller Indiegogo may be able to feature you more prominently on their homepage, newsletter, and social media outlets. Mycause.com.au is the premier cause-funding site in Australia, raising more than $12 million a year for personal and charity causes. Mycause will allow you to fundraise for overseas residents or charities, as long as you are clear on how you will get the money to them. You can forward money to a charity through PayPal. Have your story outlined (who, what, when, where, why, how) and your video and images in place. Make your explanation clear, simple and to-the-point. Particularly in the case of commercial ventures (where people don't often give out of kindness), rewarding contributors with prizes can be an effective motivating tool. If you can cause potential donors to think, "That looks awesome. I want that," you could then reward them with a taste of the product you produce. For example, "$25 will get you a 250ml bottle of wine. $5000 will get you a weekend of health and wellness at a Napa winery." Be sure to factor shipping into the cost of the rewards. Your cost will include the price of the goods, plus shipping and a crowdfunding premium (a percentage the platform will take in payment for their services). 70% of campaigns don't deliver on time. Select a date that gives you plenty of time to meet your commitments. New projects often take longer than anticipated.

Summary: Decide which platform to use. Design the layout of your campaign. Offer rewards. Make sure you can comply with the estimated delivery date.

When CHKDSK isn't able to repair the issues with your hard disk, a 3rd party disk scan utility may be able to help. Popular options like HDDScan and SeaTools will provide an alternative to CHKDSK and may help solve the issue when CHKDSK fails. Many utilities offer different software versions for different operating systems (e.g. Mac OS vs PC/Windows) Be wary of "System cleaners" from disreputable sources. Look for established brands offering "disk utilities". Follow the instructions to run a scan on the drive that gave you the cyclic redundancy check error. The software should list all issues it finds in a short report. This process can run unattended, overnight. It's important to let the repairs run to completion, and depending on the state of your hard disk this repair could take more than 2 hours. If the repairs still aren't completed after the scan has run for more than 4 hours, this is a sign of a failing hard drive. Cancel the scan and backup whatever data you can. This should only take a few minutes and will ensure that there are now no errors.

Summary: Install a free disk utility. Open the utility and run the scan. Repair all the issues. Rescan your computer.

The taller your child gets, the easier it will be for them to climb out of their crib. They may fall or get stuck if they are able to climb out of their crib, and should be moved to a toddler bed or bed with a side-rail. Help your child feel good about sleeping in a new bed by telling them it's their "big kid" bed. Many children actually ask for a new bed and don't want to sleep in their crib anymore by the time they're physically ready to leave the crib. Your toddler's sleeping place should not be close to a window with blinds that have strings, or electrical cords that they can reach while you're not around. Also watch for picture frames and other wall hangings within reach that your child could pull down onto themselves. Cords and strings can easily get wrapped around a small child's neck. The safest practice is to keep these items out of your child's room completely. While most regular-sized stuffed animals and pillows are fine in a bed with a 2-year-old, you want to keep their bed free from oversized items that could fall on top of them and cause suffocation in their sleep. Keep these types of items on the floor or on furniture away from the bed. While your child is still in a crib, don't place lots of stuffed animals, toys, or pillows in it. Since these items are a safety hazard for babies under 1, many parents don't do this anyway. At 2, however, even if the items are not linked to higher SIDS risk, your child can still use the items to step on as they climb out of their crib.

Summary: Move your child to a toddler-safe bed when they're 35in (89cm) tall. Keep their crib or bed far away from hazardous objects. Keep their bed free from extra-large stuffed animals or pillows. Remove items they could use to help them climb out of the crib.

When you've finished your first draft of your paper, step away from it for at least a little while. Waiting to revise for a day or two is ideal, although that may not be possible under a deadline. Getting your mind away from your essay is beneficial in that it allows you to come back at it with a fresh perspective. You'll see errors and areas for expansion that you never would have considered before. This is another reason why it is best to not procrastinate when writing an essay of this type. You will need ample time to complete the process in a patient way in order to create your best possible work. As soon as you know that you'll need to write an essay it is a good idea to approach a friend or classmate and ask them to spend a bit of time looking over your rough draft. Before you hand over your draft it is a good idea to let you reader know if there are any particular 'trouble areas' that you would like them to focus on. You might say, "Please focus on the word choice as that is a weakness of mine." Once you've given your paper some down time and had another person look it over you will then need to start the personal revision process. Find a quiet place where you can sit down and closely read over your essay word-by-word. Look for both macro (large, major) and micro (smaller, details) issues and make these changes. Some people find it helpful to print out your paper at this point and make your revisions on a hard copy. This can also protect you in the event that you experience any computer troubles. One strategy is to split your revisions into two parts: one revision for grammar and spelling and another to examine the organization and content of your paper. When you are writing a 'split' topic essay, such as a compare/contrast or cause/effect, it is particularly important to make your transitions clear and obvious to the reader. This will signal to your reader that you are switching from one area to another. Good transition words include, "therefore," "consequently," "thus," and many others.
Summary: Leave it alone. Ask a friend to read it. Read it again and revise. Pay attention to the transitions.
