Settlement report 4/5/2012

Donation : 17.00 USD

Expense : 12.50 USD

Left in hat : 4.50 USD

 

Thank you for your support all the time.  I could even buy a coffee.

Last month, I had a lot of donation especially for 311 anniversary.

However, it has been a little slow since then. I was sad sometimes. (There were good days too.)

What I do is like NPO, but it does need money to keep me alive.

Only 1 cent from each reader is enough for me.

I would really appreciate if you could consider donation. If it’s recurring donation, I can appreciate it more because my life becomes a little bit more stable, so I can even pay more to the admin.

To me, this is not only money, this is my food and feedback for what I do.

 

Oh anyway, some (most of ) people are disturbed by what we do on FD. They always try to intimidate me and waste my time.

As more symptoms come up, I guess they will be more active. I wonder if anyone can be my legal attorney or something like that.

Also, I would be very happy if someone can give me a bed and internet in New York for this autumn.

 

Thank you for reading this.

  1. That is why you must publish a settlement report every day.
    And every week you should publish a summary of the donations of the week.
    And every month you should publish a summary of the donations of the month.
    On a French geopolitical blog (http://www.dedefensa.org/) at the end of last month, the owner of the blog wrote that his objective is to earn at least 2000€ and ideally 3000€ each month. So he called on his readers to help him reach that objective before midnight, March 31st. The banner at the top of his site which showed the donations for the current month jumped from 1000€ to nearly 3000€ in a couple of days ! right now he has a scale on the left. People can open an account and log in, like on Enenews.
    You must understand that we are in the era of Web 2.0.
    It means that the most popular websites, the sites that make money, are the websites where people can very easily write comments, comments which are immediately published, thus allowing conversations between readers and with the owner of the website answering to readers. The most popular blogs work this way : a lot of interaction makes the website alive, it makes the website feel warm, feel human.
    Right now your website feels more like Web 1.0 because our comments are sometimes published 2 or 3 days after we write them. That is why people do not feel really warm here, not really welcome, not really cozy. As a consequence, usually your articles gather more comments on Enenews than here, which should not happen ! It does not happen on popular blogs !
    You must understand that if you want more money you must have more comments, even if it means publishing less articles. You must strike the right balance between number of articles and number of comments. Blogs with lots of articles and no comments make no money. Blogs with two articles a week and hundreds of comments a week make more money, through advertising, and through donations if the owner asks for them, and if the readers feel that the disappearance of the blog where they spend time writing comments (and exchanging with other readers) would be a big loss for them.
    To make this site feel more warm is especially important since the news about Fukushima are tragic. If we feel lonely in front of the tragic news published here, many people will not feel encouraged to return here. That is why a sense of community must develop here to make this place warm, and it can only happen with a lively comment system.

    1. @Rich, I have to agree with your points.

      @Lori, maybe you should ask for moderator help also – so that you can keep up on the posts better.

      1. Iori…..
        Thank you for keeping us up to date with this unthinkable disaster situation on Japan. I consult FD everyday, just to see how things are going. Soon I will do a reurring donation, for I realize you couldnt do this without donations. I would like to read an honest article on how YOU feel about this situation, and what led you AND sustains you in keeping people in the loop with this incredibly severe information. I would be more inclined to support monitarily….life is hard here as well, when you dont have much money….but I can be moved to share the little I have with you. I just would like to understand a bit more…your goal, perhaps….not what I think your goals or actions may be, what YOU expect to happen. This would make a fine article.

        Thanks for all you do.

    2. @ Jessica : I believe many of us feel the same, since we share the same experience when we try to write comments.

      Iori, I just sent you $45, which you of course totally deserve ! 😉

  2. Hello Iori
    Do you know of this group in a coastal town who are using Indiegogo to crowd fund their campaign to make films of survivors personal stories and help them… http://weareallradioactive.com/
    Maybe you could use a similar funding source?
    I have just donated a token amount as I was moved by your appeal and am following your very informative and dedicated website. Keep up the good work and a positive spirit. All the best.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
