Organisation - Critical Mass Forming | |
When a group gets runs on the board, other start to notice. Success brings people to the Party. From all over. There is strength in numbers. But to be effective at the highest levels, ignition comes from a Critical Mass. This is building. SAY not the struggle naught availeth,
The labour and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been they remain.
If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars;
It may be, in yon smoke conceal'd,
Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers,
And, but for you, possess the field.
For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back, through creeks and inlets making,
Comes silent, flooding in, the Main.
And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light;
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
But westward, look, the land is bright! Quote: From: RADAR

Special Issue of Family Court Review Featuring Domestic Violence and Family Courts Available Online
"The July 2008 issue of Family Court Review featuring outcomes from the AFCC and NCJFCJ Domestic Violence and Family Courts Project is available for free online for a limited period of time at Link."
"The highly anticipated special issue features articles co-authored by interdisciplinary experts from the domestic violence advocacy and family courts community. The issue addresses topics including terminology, differentiated approaches to parenting plans, screening and cultural issues. Guest edited by Professors Nancy Ver Steegh and Kelly Browe Olson, the issue also includes the Report on Wingspread Conference on Domestic Violence and Family Courts. The Report addresses critical tensions raised by the growing awareness that not all uses of violence in intimate relations are the same."

I have tried all my life to leave the place better than I found it. But there are 6 billion other buggers out there messing it up. I am outnumbered. But... YOU don't just make a difference, you make THE difference. |
