Australian Development Strategies (ADS) was founded by John Black, the former Senator for Queensland, who has pioneered the demographic profiling of Australian political and economic groups since 1975. ADS has been working with schools for the past 13 years to provide them with a profile of their catchment area. This insight helps schools with fee pricing and affordability, enrollment demand, where to target their marketing, bus transportation planning, and business risk assessment. ADS markets its demographic profile insights for schools through its Education Geographics (EGS) brand.
Adapting to Changes in the Educational Market
The global financial crisis had a profound impact on the non-government education sector in Australia. This once secure, growing market has become:
- More price-sensitive thanks to a decline in real incomes since the end of the mining boom
- Less secure due to decreasing job security caused by relentless computerization of blue-collar and middle white-collar jobs
- Less well-defined because of a blurring of traditional lines between government, Catholic, and independent sectors for many parents
To adapt to these changing market conditions, ADS faced a number of challenges:
- Its product offered huge value to schools, but was delivered as a series of large printed reports and maps which dated quickly unless replaced with regularly printed updates. ADS needed to make it much easier for schools to access and act on the data.
- Despite increasing demand for their product, ADS was limited to supporting a maximum of 20 clients as it was taking up to four weeks to prepare, process, and deliver information to each school. They needed a way to speed up report production so they could grow their business.
Using DecisionPoint we have achieved tremendous productivity gains. It used to take us a minimum of two weeks to prepare, process, and deliver our old-style reports to each school. Contrast that with today, where between February and June 2017, we completed 63 of these dashboards using DecisionPoint!" – John Black
Making the Switch to Modern, Interactive Dashboards
In 2015, ADS started looking for a better, more modern way to create and deliver their information to schools. After reviewing the market, ADS selected insightsoftware's DecisionPoint™ because it ticked all of their boxes. It was straight forward to use and did not require specialist skills, it integrated with mapping components, and from reading peer reviews, ADS was impressed by insightsoftware's reputation for providing first class customer support. During the early stages of their project, ADS worked closely with insightsoftware's product specialists who helped them get up to speed quickly.
ADS' dashboard has come a long way since the early development versions. ADS was self-sufficient within a short period and has been able to create interactive dashboards for its client schools with ease. The team at ADS is now on the fourth iteration of their dashboard, which they've developed in a series of short phases over a 12 month period.
One of our team is a DecisionPoint expert and uses the application to create a dashboard for each school. Their expertise is now being transferred to other team members to increase our capacity and enable us to take on further clients." – John Black
Increasing Productivity and a Growing Client Base
Using DecisionPoint, ADS has achieved its objectives. It has been able to improve the value of the demographic analysis it provides to each school. The online, interactive DecisionPoint dashboards reach and engage far more end users in each school than the old reporting system. DecisionPoint has had a big impact on ADS' productivity. The team is able to create new dashboards in a fraction of the time that it used to take them. As a result, they are already able to service a much larger client base.
Our objective was to grow our client base, and DecisionPoint has given us the operational capacity to take on more clients than we could handle with our old reporting process. The look and feel of the dashboard—that user interface—is also central to increasing client numbers, because these days people expect their dashboards to look and feel great!" – John Black
Specific improvements include:
- Improved definition about the affordability of the current level of school fees
- Clearer understanding of the labor force as a lead indicator for potential changes in student enrolments
- A comprehensive social media profile that allows effective target marketing, right down to the SA1 level (the smallest unit of Census data in Australia)
- A summary "Report Card" that concisely informs the school board members about what is happening within their organization and how their performance compares to their peers
- Improved analysis of the defined school catchment in the context of the limits and opportunities that the catchment has (viz-a-viz the stereotypical school family) for continuing enrolment demand
Planning for a Bright Future
ADS isn't intending to rest on its laurels. Over the next 12 months, it expects to reach a 100-school client base, covering around 25 percent of current Australian independent school enrollments. At this point, ADS plans to recruit additional team members to further enrich its educational dashboards in a continued drive to deliver more value to its clients. ADS is also expanding by applying its demographics expertise to other markets.
We're drawing on what we've learned about links between the new labor market and its impact on discretionary education spending by middle class families to produce new dashboards for monitoring the impact of digital disruption on the labor market. We're also planning to produce similar dashboards for potential clients in the local health sector using a Health Geographics brand name. And in between these new product developments, I'm staying sane by writing about politics and fly fishing!" – John Black

It can make staying on top of things even more difficult than you anticipated. So how lucky is it that we are in such a digital age and have access to fantastic devices and even cooler applications to put on your devices to improve all aspects of your life.

3 Must Have Apps For College
College is often shown as a place where people go to party and have a good time, but we all know there is way more to it than that. While partying certainly does occur, there is a lot of studying and stress that happens as well. In order to survive college, you may want to check out some apps to help make it a little easier to get through.
1. iStudiezPro- This is a great app when it comes to scheduling. Oftentimes, students may have a wide array of things that they have going on in a given week. If they are hoping to keep up with it all, it is necessary for them to have a way to accurately track things. This application can make that happen. Busy college schedules are no problem when this app is tracking it all.

In this series thus far, I have discussed the ways in which Edgar Allan Poe is perhaps best viewed as a literary prankster or practical joker. In Part 1, I argued that the great theorist of "Diddling Considered as One of the Exact Sciences" was also, in his various works, a master "diddler," frequently putting one over on his readers. In Part 2, I discussed the "poet as prankster," suggesting that even Poe's poetry is not always as serious as it seems, while examining one poem ("O Tempora! O Mores!") that was itself composed and presented as part of an elaborate practical joke. In Part 3, I argued that many of Poe's most well-known stories, which are usually read as Gothic horror or mystery, might be considered as humorous, frequently functioning as comical send-ups of popular fictions of the era. In this entry, I want to consider another genre of writing for which Poe was quite famous in his own time: literary criticism. Not surprisingly, Poe's literary criticism bears the mark of the prankster's spirit, as his book reviews and essays are often filled with sardonic humor.
As a literary critic and book reviewer for a number of magazines, Poe developed an infamous reputation as a "tomahawk-man," a harsh critic who, in the words of his great contemporary James Russell Lowell, "seems sometimes to mistake his phial of prussic-acid for his inkstand." Lowell's own humorous aside does not detract from his judgement, stated one line earlier, of Poe as "the most discriminating, philosophical, and fearless critic upon imaginative works who has written in America." Perhaps because of this discriminating, philosophical fearlessness, Poe-the-critic was loathe to suffer fools gladly or even at all, and some of his best known zingers have come at the expense of his fellow poets and fiction writers.
For example, in an 1843 review of William Ellery Channing's Our Amateur Poets, Poe writes: "His book contains about sixty-three things, which he calls poems, and which he no doubt seriously supposes so to be. They are full of all kinds of mistakes, of which the most important is that of their having been printed at all." A paragraph later he calls for the author to be hanged, but—out of deference to his good name (Channing Sr. having been a "great essayist")—Poe urges that the hangman "observe every species of decorum, and be especially careful of his feelings, and hang him gingerly and gracefully, with a silken cord." Presumably, the remainder of the book review represents that figurative execution.
Poe's criticism bristles with humor, often in its more "malevolent" form as sarcasm. As I point out in my book, Poe and the Subversion of American Literature: Satire, Fantasy, Critique, this sense of humor is part of Poe's literary theory. Humor is connected to his more "serious" philosophy of the imagination, the faculty of the human mind most exalted by the Romantics. In a note to essay on Nathaniel Parker Willis in his New York Literati series, Poe asserts that the "Imagination, fancy, fantasy and humour, have in common the elements combination and novelty." Not surprisingly for a writer who so admired Coleridge and Byron, Poe goes on to explain that "The imagination is the artist of the four. From novel arrangements of old forms which present themselves to it, it selects such only as are harmonious; the result, of course, is beauty itself—using the word in its most extended sense and as inclusive of the sublime." The others (fancy, fantasy, and humor) operate by selecting inharmonious elements, which would normally offend the higher sensibilities of the gentle reader; but, in certain circumstances, such fanciful, fantastic, or humorous arrangements can offer real delights. As Poe reveals, the more outlandish the skillful ordering of cacophonous or incongruous parts, the closer one approaches a form of pleasurable excess to be found in works of humor, as the absurdity of the scene goes from seeming merely erroneous or eccentric to being pretty funny.
Consistent with my view of Poe as a prankster or practical joker, his theory of fanciful, fantastic, or humorous literary combinations—that is, those that cannot achieve the supernal beauty of the most well-wrought works of the imagination—leads him to consider the more pointed use of humor in the service of critique. "The four faculties in question seem to me all of their class; but when either fancy or humour is expressed to gain an end, is pointed at a purpose—whenever either becomes objective in place of subjective, then it becomes, also, pure wit or sarcasm, just as the purpose is benevolent or malevolent." That is, when humor is not simply intended to elicit a smile or a laugh, but it also used to serve some ulterior aim, it can become a forceful kind of criticism in its own right.
Poe's theory of humor therefore applies not only to creative writing, fiction and poetry, but also to his nonfiction essays and reviews. At the time, not everyone agreed that humor belonged in literary criticism. In a letter to Beverley Tucker in 1835, Poe responds to Tucker's complaint that humor has no place such writing. As Poe explains,
The distinction you make between levity, and wit or humour (that which produces a smile) I perfectly understand; but that levity is unbecoming the chair of the critic, must be taken, I think, cum grano salis. Moreover — are you sure Jeffrey was never jocular or frivolous in his critical opinions? I think I can call to mind some instances of the purest grotesque in his Reviews — downright horse-laughter. Did you ever see a critique in Blackwood's Mag: upon an Epic Poem by a cockney tailor? Its chief witticisms were aimed not at the poem, but at the goose, and bandy legs of the author, and the notice ended, after innumerable oddities in — "ha! ha! ha! — he! he! he! — hi! hi! hi! — ho! ho! ho! — hu! hu! hu"! Yet it was, without exception, the most annihilating, and altogether the most effective Review I remember to have read.
Poe's point is that criticism, like the literature it is duty-bound to analyze and evaluate, sometimes needs to be humorous. In fact, for Poe, certain types of work under consideration by the critic positively demand humorous, witty, or sarcastic treatment. Referring to the same remembered review from Blackwood's, Poe "cannot help thinking levity here was indispensable. Indeed how otherwise the subject could have been treated I do not perceive. To treat a tailor's Epic seriously, (and such an Epic too!) would have defeated the ends of the critic, in weakening his own authority by making himself ridiculous." In his own criticism, as in his poetry and tales, Poe issues forth this "horse-laughter," and his often ferocious mirthfulness brings together the fantastic and satirical elements of his overall literary and critical project.
To avoid laughter in one's criticism for the sake of propriety is to recuse oneself from criticism entirely, Poe seems to suggest. To suffer fools too gladly is to reveal one's own foolishness. And although Poe was not entirely consistent or fair in his treatment of contemporary poets and writers, as this 1848 caricature not so subtly lampoons, he was not often willing the play the fool himself.

In early February, the IRS issued "an urgent alert" concerning the latest version of the phishing scam that targets W-2 payroll information. In a scenario that has played out countless times, hackers generate a fraudulent email that looks like it came from an organization executive, asking HR personnel to send back employee W-2 forms in a return message. When the forms are sent, they are used to file fraudulent tax returns and for other malicious purposes. This particular scam generally works as follows:
An employee in the targeted organization's HR department receives a "spoofed" email, which superficially appears to come from a high-ranking member of management;
The spoofed email asks the employee to respond with electronic copies of the previous year's W-2 earnings statements (which will include employees' social security numbers, compensation information and home addresses) for all of the organization's employees; and
The employee, believing that he or she is being responsive to a request from senior management, replies to the spoofed email with the requested tax information.
While all "social engineering" scams seek to find and exploit human weaknesses in order to gain access to sensitive information, this scam is brilliantly cynical: it exploits the imbalance of power between senior management and subordinate personnel by inducing a sense of urgency and desire-to-please with the goal of overwhelming the subordinate's ability to think critically about the information request. Like any good card trick, the spoofed email creates a psychological distraction that blinds the recipient to the sleight of hand taking place right before his or her eyes.
The consequences of a successful W-2 phishing scam can be extremely serious for the target. Data breach notification laws may require delivery of notices to affected employees, government agencies, credit reporting agencies and/or the media. The organization will also need to report the incident to local and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as the IRS. In short, it will be a costly, time-consuming, distracting and morale-draining experience to deal with the aftermath of a W-2 phishing scam.
In its February alert, the IRS emphasized this scam has begun circulating even earlier this year and is targeting a broader group of organizations including school districts, chain restaurants, and health care organizations. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen called it "one of the most dangerous email phishing scams we've seen in a long time." He stressed the need for vigilance and prompt reporting of incidents to the IRS, by forwarding these messages to firstname.lastname@example.com, under the subject line "W2 scam."
As always, the first line of defense against every scam is workforce training and vigilance. In addition to sensitizing personnel to this and other phishing dangers, the IRS recommends organizations adopt a formal written policy about the distribution of W-2 information and other sensitive data. We recommend adopting a general policy triggered whenever an employee gets a request for any sensitive data from a colleague, requiring the employee to start a new email to the purported originator of the message, and never reply directly to the email. You can see the IRS alert on this subject here.

The young people's charity, Just for Kids Law, strongly supports a recommended change to the Sentencing Code made by the Law Commission today that could clarify the status of children in the criminal justice system.
Following a joint submission by Just for Kids Law and the Howard League for Penal Reform, the Law Commission report recommends a change to the Code and future legislation to remove ambiguity in the description of young people and ensure that all under-18s are recognised as children.
Existing legislation includes a distinction between "children" and "young persons" in the context of people convicted of crimes under the age of 18, leading to inconsistency in sentencing and a lack of clarity on whether young offenders should be sentenced as children. Agreeing that this distinction is outdated, the Law Commission highlights the ambiguity and disparities created by this, in particular noting that the current Code leads to a situation where "the availability of sentences differs variously depending on whether a person is convicted at age 10, 12, 14, 15, 16 or 18 and not simply whether they are under 14 or aged 14 or over."
The report recommends the Code and future legislation be amended to describe all people convicted under the age of 18 as "children". The report further highlights the need to clarify the situation for offenders who were convicted when under the age of 18, but who may be aged 19 or 20 when the relevant law applies.
Enver Solomon, CEO of Just for Kids Law, said: "We have long campaigned for the criminal justice system to recognise all under-18 year olds as children and applaud the Law Commission for taking this forward. It is a step towards improving the situation for those who reach the age of 18 with unresolved criminal justice issues, who currently suffer from uncertainty and an inconsistent application of the law. It is vital that all children are recognised as such by the criminal justice system, and that agencies and the courts uphold the rights entitled to them under national and international law."

How to Pick Wedding Colors
When picking the right color palette for your wedding, it helps to take things one step at a time. First things first: location. The wedding professionals at The Boathouse at Front Street Village know a thing or two about setting up the perfect venue. With weddings nearly every weekend, they have seen weddings of every color, but the best are inspired by the Beaufort Waterfront, where the Boathouse sits. The natural landscape of the area creates the perfect backdrop for a bright, colorful wedding. So how would a bride go about choosing those colors? The Boathouse is here on the blog to teach us how to pick wedding colors inspired by America's Coolest Small Town.
A panoramic view of Taylor's Creek in Beaufort from the upper deck of the Boathouse at Front Street Village.
Inspired by: Beaufort's Flag
Walk around Historic Downtown Beaufort, voted America's Coolest Small Town by Travel Magazine, and you'll see these colors everywhere you go. Even the Cottages at Front Street Village, nestled behind the Boathouse, feature the famous palette. Choose these shades for your wedding and your bridal party will look as rich and colorful as our bustling community.
Inspired by: Historic Homes
While most of the homes in Beaufort's Historic District are painted a traditional white, they are by no means boring. Your wedding colors shouldn't be, either. These hues bring to mind a traditional, down-home feel. We were inspired by the beautiful homes on Ann Street, with their beautiful landscaping and inviting front porches.
Inspired by: Local Treasures
You should never be afraid to bring bright, fun colors into your wedding, just like we aren't afraid to fill our home town with orange kayaks, turquoise adirondack chairs, our red double-decker tour bus, and the brightest white motor boats. Encourage your bridesmaids to each wear a different color dress in your chosen palette, bringing new life and personality into your special day. You'll be sure to pop against the crowd in a flowing white gown.
Inspired by: Beaufort in Bloom
If you think blooming flowers are only for the spring, think again. One of the best parts about this small town is that it stays in bloom for the better part of the year. The Historic District is lined with trees and locally-planted gardens. Draw inspiration for your wedding from the budding plants and old stone pathways that wind around them.
If you're looking for a wedding venue in the quaint town of Beaufort, explore the many accommodations offered by the Boathouse at Front Street Village, and take a look at all of our talented wedding vendors who cater to the Crystal Coast.

The new book "Triumph Trident: The Best Production Racer Ever" has only been out for a week but it's already the publisher's best selling book. Available in the UK for £14.99, in the US for $24.95, and all around the world this book has been written by Club Member and Leicester Branch Chairman Roy Maddox.
Roy states: "I am no expert but had long since had an affection for the triples but had limited knowledge but my 'thing' was and is research so I approached the project from the stand point of someone who knew little, writing for those who were in the same boat. I therefore aimed to record those little snippets of information that would engender an interest in the triples after 50 years of production. Of course I was always in the position of not knowing what I didn't know.
"As I conducted more and more research it became clear that the story of the triples was directly linked to the success of the triples on the race circuits around the world and at the Isle of man TT in particular."
In this thoroughly researched and comprehensive book, the reader is taken through the full range of triple models, including the BSA Rocket 3, the Trident and the A75 Hurricane, as well as the technical changes that took place and the range of specials and one-offs, all with a layman's eyes. Of special interest will be the previously unseen original drawings from Ogle Design and Craig Vetter.
As this book reveals, the Triumph Trident T150 was a milestone in British and world motorcycle design that also achieved huge success on the racing track. As it reaches the 50th anniversary of its launch, the Triumph Trident T150 is as appreciated more today by its many owners and motorcycle enthusiasts than it was in its production heyday.

Chairman Message
Clinical Laboratory is one of the most important subjects of the Medical Sciences. Traditionally the Clinical Laboratory Sciences is divided into four main areas of study: Medical Microbiology, Clinical Chemistry, Haematology and Blood Transfusion, Histopathology and Cytology.
With the progress of time various other specialties of Clinical Laboratory Sciences have emerged from the mainstream areas mentioned above. Medical Microbiology is now subdivided into Virology, Bacteriology, Parasitology and Mycology, all of which are specialties on their own. Immunology, the study of the immune system and its response, has its roots in Microbiology but now is also a specialty on its own. A more recent development is the birth of Molecular Diagnostics. Molecular biology techniques are used to identify the genes of invading microorganisms from the body fluids or tissues of patients. These techniques are also used to investigate the genetic make-up of patients in certain diseased states.
Clinical Laboratory Sciences can hence be described as the study of the sciences used to investigate and diagnose probable diseased states in patients , for proper treatment and follow-up of these patients.
Our department is committed to instruct students academically and technically to play an effective role in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases by acquiring appropriate knowledge, skills, ethics and attitudes necessary for professional practice in medical laboratories to contribute to the growth and advancement of the healthcare expanding demands in the kingdom.
Chairman of Clinical Laboratory Sciences .
Dr. Abdulah Alyossef

Oscars 2014: 12 Years a Slave wins best picture
The Steve McQueen-directed biopic of Solomon Northup stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'o, Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch
12 Years a Slave has won the coveted best picture award at the 2014 Oscars.
Based on a true story, the biopic of Solomon Northup – a free man sold into slavery in 19th century America – has been the toast of the critics since its release earlier this year and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'o, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Directed by Steve McQueen and produced by Pitt's production company, the film was a hot favourite to take home the evening's top prize, beating off competition from the likes of American Hustle, Gravity, Philomena, The Wolf of Wall Street and Her.
Steve McQueen, Brad Pitt and the producers and cast of 12 Years appeared on stage to collect the award. The first to step up to the microphone, Brad Pitt thanked the Academy for "this incredible honour you bestowed on our film. I know I speak for everyone standing behind me that it's been an absolute privilege working on Solomon's story."
He then introduced the "indomitable Mr Steve McQueen," who thanked the Academy, his "wonderful cast and crew" and "Brad Pitt, without who this film would not have been made."
McQueen finished, visibly overcome with emotion, by telling the audience, "Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup. I'm dedicating this award to all the people who've endured slavery and the 21 million people who still suffer slavery today."
12 Years a Slave was nominated in multiple categories at the 86th Academy Awards, including best actor (Chiwetel Ejiofor), best supporting actor (Michael Fassbender), best director (Steve McQueen) and saw Lupita Nyong'o take home best supporting actress.

Did you know that all members of the Partnership Learning Community are welcome to create blog posts?
Feel free to author posts anytime you have something to share - either about projects you are involved in that you think will interest the PLC community, or updates about your work as a Conversation Leader or Partnership movement-builder.
It is easy to make a post - just follow the instructions below and have fun!
I just discovered this...thanks Rhonda Case for forwarding this great info graphic. This might be useful for your practicums and future Caring Economy Conversations.
The Caring Economy Campaign is featured in the "Member Spotlight" section of Bolder Advocacy-an initiative for Alliance for Justice' blog. Take a look:
Showing the Economic Value of Care: Spotlight on the Center for Partnership Studies' Caring Economy Campaign http://bolderadvocacy.org/blog/showing-the-economic-value-of-care-spotlight-on-the-center-for-partnership-studies-caring-economy-campaign
Caring Economy Twitter Chat August 21: Social Wealth Economic Indicators. #CaringEconomy See http://www.caringeconomy.org/
The Caring Economy Campaign will soon be launching the Social Wealth Economic Indicators (SWEIs), which demonstrate the enormous economic value of the work of care. SWEIS will help policy makers understand what is needed to cut through cycles of poverty that disproportionately affect those who do most of the care work for free in homes and low pay in workplaces: women and communities of color.
In preparation for the SWEI launch, we are hosting a Twitter chat at 10:00am PDT on Thursday, August 21.
The chat will center on the underlying principles behind the Caring Economy Campaign and will lay the groundwork for future discussions about the Social Wealth Economic Indicators in preparation for the launch in the fall.
We invite you and your organizations to join the conversation on Twitter using #CaringEconomy to ask questions, share your experiences, or lend your expertise on how these principles can be applied to build healthier futures for us all.
In addition, we ask you to share our event on your social media accounts and within your mailing lists. Questions? Email Kirstin Kelley at email@example.com

Marc Allen, Publisher at New World Library in Novato, CA, wrote to us today that he has posted a blog entry about books that have changed his life--and Riane Eisler's The Power of Partnership is one of his top two!
See his comments here and below:
"I look back at the turbulence of my youth with great fondness. The mental and emotional roller coaster of our teen years shapes who we become as adults. I knew that my peers and I were bringing some very good changes into the world, but there were so many things that were confusing and frustrating to me. The years were filled with stress and anxiety.
Then, in early adulthood, I discovered a few books that changed my life. They affected my thinking and helped me put my life on course. And throughout my life, I've encountered books so powerful that I became a different person in some vitally important way after reading them than I was before.
The Power of Partnership by Riane Eisler is one of the most powerful, life-changing books I have ever read. It cleared up a whole lot of confusion and anxiety; it made my path much clearer, for it gave me simple, clear guidelines for what works and what doesn't work in life.
In the book, Eisler gives us what she calls a "lens" for viewing our lives and the world. Through this lens we see all our activities on a simple scale, with perfect partnership and respect on one end, and exploitation, domination, and the need to try to control others on the other. Over and over, the book shows that all forms of exploitation or domination create far more problems than they resolve, and that working in partnership with others is the best, most lasting solution to all of life's problems.
Riane Eisler brilliantly shows us the power of partnership in every area of our lives, in every relationship we have:
Our relationships with ourselves: Are you in partnership with yourself, do you nurture and support yourself, or is some inner critic or critical parent beating you up, undermining your uniqueness, your creativity, your joy of life?
Our intimate relationships with our lovers, family, friends: Is there domination? Are there any attempts to control the behavior of others? Or do we truly have partnerships with family and friends? Is there respect? Does everyone have a voice?
Our work and community relationships: Do we have supportive partnerships with those we work with? Or are we still involved in a subtle or obvious system of domination? The simple rule of partnership — the Golden Rule — is the most powerful single key to creating a successful business or career as well as to being a good member of the community.
Our national relationships: How well do we work with everyone in this country to build a great future for us and our children? The key is realizing we're all partners working together.
Our international relationships: How successful are our partnerships with all the other governments and people of the world? In what areas is our country a dominator and in what areas is it a partner in the world arena? The only solution to our long-term problems, the only effective way to create lasting peace and prosperity, is through successful partnerships with everyone on earth.
Our relationship with nature: Are we a dominator or partner? We must find ways to change our current domination-based behavior.
Our relationship with spirit: Are we fully aware that we have a spiritual nature as well as a physical, an emotional, and a mental nature? Do we acknowledge and respect our spiritual nature? Do we let it guide our lives?
To fully live the life of our dreams
we have to apply the partnership model
in every relationship we have.
Make every interaction with other people, and with nature and spirit, one of respect and partnership. That's a powerful key to a wonderful life, a life well lived.
—Marc Allen
Caring Economy Conversation Leader Barbara Litrell gave a talk on June 19, 2014 at Northern Arizona University (NAU) in Flagstaff, AZ using the materials and powerpoint "The Path to Real Prosperity - A Caring Economy".
Barbara reports: "There were about 50 people in the audience. I also added to the powerpoint some slides to make it local to AZ and related to the 'Arizona We Want 2.0' study that was done by the Center for the Future of Arizona. The 8 citizen goals dovetail with the caring economy concepts. The conversation afterwards went well, albeit there are always some skeptics when we try to change the conversation and get into discussions about GDP and new metrics needed."
A note from Sara Saltee, Director of the Leadership & Learning Programs: "The Center for Partnership Studies' Social Wealth Economic Indicators Project continues to expand and the new website will be up later this year. Stay tuned!
Good wishes to you Barbara and gratitude for your leadership in Caring Economy conversations!

You can learn more about our courses HERE.
The Cultural Transformation Course is a rare opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Riane Eisler the most powerful concepts from her extraordinary 30-year body of work - from revolutionary insights about power in The Chalice and the Blade, to a fresh view of sex, spirituality, and intimate relationships in Sacred Pleasure, to her groundbreaking new framework for asserting the ecomomic value of care in The Real Wealth of Nations. During this five-part course, Dr. Eisler guides us in an expansive exploration of how the new social categories of domination and partnership systems empower us to co-create a better future for ourselves, our children, and generations to come. The course features five class discussion sessions with Dr. Eisler, four exclusive videos with accompanying study guides, and 30 years of groundbreaking insights. Information about the next starting date for this exciting new class is available HERE.
The Caring Economy Leadership Program is a unique online certification training that qualifies participants to become Caring Economy Conversation Leaders. There are over 150 Conversation Leaders in 18 countries worldwide. Participants gain real-world experience speaking out for a caring economy by presenting a practicum event in their community.

You can register to become a leader in the Caring Economy HERE.
The Transforming Healthcare Culture: Unlocking the Foundational Barrier to Improved Patient Safety, Quality and Experience is a 4-part online course which explores the applications of Riane Eisler's cultural transformation theory to healthcare cultures. Learn how our domination-system heritage works against sustained change and prevents achievement of improved patient outcomes and provider engagement.

Ohh, Micaiah!!! This is so sweet!!!! #loveit Your family is precious!!!
So beautiful, Micaiah! Adoption is such a blessing.Also, that song. . . !!It was fun (and slightly weird) to be able to recognize all the places in your pictures–and be in one of them. 😉 I still cannot believe how that worked out!
Aw, thanks, Ellen! =)
Thank you, Hanna! It is for sure. I know! It made us cry a lot before Matthias came home because it made us think of him…I can't believe how it worked out either! =) It was such an amazing coincidence!
This comment has been removed by the author.
Hi Micaiah!I discovered your blog last night, and left it open to peruse today… I expected to just read a couple posts, but your posts really held me, and when I realized it was a "newer" blog, I decided to read through the whole thing… I'm going to follow :)!I loved this video, and I teared up when y'all met Matthias. I am hopeful that the Lord will bring it about that I may adopt one day, especially special needs and disabled kiddos. It's been a dream of mine for years now, and so I love to hear adoption stories! I'm working with/searching for ways to get more involved with special needs individuals now, to try to get some experience for that life if God allows it later. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. Your family seems precious, and Matthias is a doll! (Also, your Mom is gorgeous!)Blessings in our Savior,Bri
Oh Micaiah! I was scrolling through your posts and found this. I watched the videos and started crying because it's so beautiful! I'm from China and I've been to some of the places your parents and Matthias visited. It put a smile on my face seeing how happy Matthias looked in the pictures! I'm so glad little Matthias has found such a loving home. Please help me say hello to him for me. 🙂
Hi, Bri! I am so sorry that it has taken me nearly a YEAR to answer you! I am so sorry, I haven't seen this! I am so glad that you enjoyed my posts. =) I have just fixed the comments so that I am notified whenever I get a new one. I certainly teared up when we met Matthias as well. Your dream sounds absolutely lovely-I hope that, God willing, it can come true! I hope that you have found ways to serve. =) You are too sweet, thank you so much! =) This is one of the sweetest comments I've ever received! Blessings!
I apologize for not answering sooner! Chloe, that is so amazing! It's so cool that you're from China and have been to some of the same places! I will certainly say hello to him for you! =)

Limits and rules placed on a group of homes by a builder, developer, neighborhood association or Homeowners Association; when living in a building, a buyer gives up certain freedoms to be part of a shared community. For example, most condo building associations have smoking restrictions, certain guidelines for parking and noise level rules; as well as aesthetic guidelines for paint color, height restrictions, and minimum and maximum square footage requirements. Sometimes, buyers can get access to the documents before making an offer; but in most cases, buyers get a complete list of a building's guidelines within 2 – 5 business days of signing the initial Purchase and Sale Agreement.

At the heart of the performance of the Ridgeline is an animated and dynamic 3.5L V6 engine that produces up to 280 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft of torque. Working in tandem with the engine is a 6-speed automatic transmission that transfers the energy generated under the hood to either the front wheels or to all four wheels, depending on your choice of 2WD or AWD. Whichever configuration you choose, the Ridgeline offers quick and zesty acceleration which can make trickier driving situations, such as merging or passing on the highway, much easier and more controlled.
The reviewers at Edmunds note that the Ridgeline offers "class-leading ride comfort," thanks, in part, to a unique Unibody Construction. This design choice creates a more rigid structure than other pickups and produces a smoother ride. Other suspension features include:
The Ridgeline comes standard with a 2WD configuration. For drivers who prefer AWD or who need a greater towing capability, the Sport, RTL, and RTL-T models all come with an available Intelligent Variable Torque Management AWD System. The RTL-E and Black Edition models at the top of the line see the AWD system as the standard.
The Ridgeline is also set apart by other pickup options on the road with an impressively efficient fuel economy. That means that drivers can travel longer distances with the Ridgeline with less visits to the pump – that's good news for your wallet and for the environment. The EPA-estimated fuel economy for the Ridgeline is:
19 city / 26 highway / 22 combined mpg*
The Ridgeline comes equipped with a number of safety features, including driver-assistive technology to help drivers stay safe. The active safety features alsoenhance its performance through challenging weather and road conditions.
Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control – This system helps stabilize the Ridgeline during cornering while correcting oversteering or understeering. It also ensures the Ridgeline maintains good tractive control of the road.
Anti-Lock Braking System – Prevents the brakes from locking up, which can cause dangerous skidding across the road.
Electronic Brake Distribution – Varies the braking pressure applied to the wheels depending on factors such as speed and road conditions.
Brake Assist – Helps bring the Ridgeline to a complete stop more quickly and safely in an emergency braking situation.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System – Monitors the pressure in each of the tires and notifies drivers when one needs to be inflated to avoid safety risks.
Daytime Running Lights – Ensure that the Ridgeline is clearly visible to other drivers while illuminating the wayamid changes in the weather.
The towing capacity of the Ridgeline will be different for the 2WD and AWD. It's unsafe to try to exceed the load of your vehicle's towing capacity, but even the 2WD Ridgeline can haul up to 3,500 lbs., which is enough for many drivers' needs. For larger towing capability, consider the AWD which can tow up to 5,000 lbs.
3,500 lbs. with 2WD
5,000 lbs. with AWD

Pelvic Physical Therapy for
Pregnancy and Postpartum
Many women experience urinary leakage and/or pelvic pain at different times during their pregnancy. As the fetus grows and ligaments become lax, women can experience pain with walking, bending, sitting, negotiating stairs, and lying down to go to sleep. They may also experience urinary urgency, frequency and leakage.
Post-partum (after giving birth), women may experience similar issues. They may have pain with intercourse, C-section and episiotomy site pain, diastasis recti (abdominal wall separation), and/or weakness of the core muscles.
Daphna can help you through the pregnancy and post-partum period. She can help you prepare your muscles for the birth process which will help with the healing process afterward. She can also help you regain the strength and control needed post-partum. Leakage and pain should resolve in the months following birth. If you are experiencing these issues, you can get help and restore your body to functioning pain and leakage free.
Helvetica Light is an easy to read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.
Daphna was so helpful! She made me feel relaxed and ready for treatment. The treatment itself was very effective and in just three sessions I felt confident that my symptoms will subside." EK
