DON’T CHASE SMALL CHANGE. YOU COULD BE LEAVING BIG DOLLARS ON THE TABLE. Forget about shopping for quotes to save money on insurance. There are better, more profitable ways to turn big premiums into bottom-line gains—while doing business more effectively overall. If your company pays about a half-million or more in annual premiums, these strategies are well worth a look. Author Brad Johnson has helped many midsize companies take control of their costs and risks. He offers this book as a concise, practical guide to finding the path that will work best for you. “Owning your risk” simply means taking responsibility for your situation—and controlling the flow of your money. Insurance companies can be great partners for managing risk, but they shouldn’t dictate the terms of the relationship. As the book clearly shows, insurance companies are set up to win at your expense, regardless of the claims they pay on your behalf. Own Your Risk lays out steps for turning the tables in your favor. These can range from retaining risk via deductibles to joining a group captive, all underpinned by a focus on safety and loss control. And whatever you do, see the chapter on 51 tips for saving money right away.

Everything you ever wanted to know about land acquisition, building design, fi nance, fund raising, and working with builders - but didn't know who to ask.Making Room to Make Disciples provides answers to help you lead your people and your church to success.After designing and building churches for more than a decade, Brad Oaster began studying secular business plans in 1990 when his friend and mentor, Steve Wozniak (co founder of Apple Computer) taught Brad the philosophy and principles behind the development of Apple and its insanely great products. Brad spent several years traveling with "Woz" to Mac Academy, Apple Expo's and other Apple events with the goal of transferring the creative spirit at Apple to Christian ministries though out the world.Brad used that information to build his own "insanely great" company into the largest church design and development firm on the west coast. And he did that in just four years Brad then shared Apple's strategies with Christian ministries, first in California and later throughout the nation, and helped those ministries go on to become some of the fastest growing churches in America.Today, OASTER works with bible based, Christian ministries in the development of fi ve-year ministry plans and facility designs that when combined, create a road map that connects todays reality with tomorrows potential. Every church that works with OASTER in the development of a ministry plan and new or updated facilities, and implements the plan, can expect to triple in size within the five-year period.

From War to Peace in 1945 Germany

As an Official Army Photographer, "Mac" Fleming's assignment was to take motion pictures of significant wartime events for the US Army. In the pouch intended to carry his first-aid kit on his belt, he instead carried a small personal camera, which he used to take pictures of the people and places that interested him, capturing in his field notes details of the life he observed. From these records, Fleming has assembled this absorbing private chronicle of war and peace. Assigned to the European Theater in February 1945, he filmed the action from the battle for the Remagen Bridge across the Rhine, to the fighting in the Hartz Mountains, on to the linkup with the Russian forces at the Elbe River. After the armistice, Fleming helped document how the Allied Expeditionary Force established a military government in Germany to cope with masses of POWs, establish control of the country, deal with the atrocities committed by the German army, and help thousands of newly released slave laborers return home to Poland, France, and Russia. He also recorded how the army provided rest, recreation, and rehabilitation to the remaining US soldiers and sent them home by truck, train, and ship. Awaiting shipment home, Fleming explored postwar German town and country life and toured some famous castles and historic spots. The foreword by historian James H. Madison describes the important role of photography in war and the special contribution of Fleming's photographic diary.

Unlike other textbooks on the subject, this book presents a comprehensive and structured account of the process of administering planned change in the criminal justice system. The authors detail a simple yet sophisticated seven-stage model, which offers students and practitioners a full account of program and policy development from beginning to end. Within these stages, students focus on performing essential procedures, such as conducting a systems analysis, specifying an impact model, identifying target populations, making cost projections, collecting monitoring data, and performing evaluations. In reviewing these steps and procedures, students can develop a full appreciation for the challenges inherent in the process and understand the tools they require to meet those challenges. To provide for a greater understanding of the material, the text uses a wide array of real-life case studies and examples of programs and policies. By examining the successes and failures of various innovations, the authors demonstrate both the ability of rational planning to make successful improvements and the tendency of unplanned change to result in undesirable outcomes. The result is a powerful argument for the use of logic, deliberation, and collaboration in criminal justice innovations.This readable volume is ideal as a primary or supplemental text in criminal justice policy-related courses, and also serves as a useful reference for practitioners in the field tasked with strategic planning for policy change.
