Reflections, Actions and Prospects

Reflections

This is the third issue of Potential Unleashed and, based on feedback received, we are inclined to produce eight issues annually of this blog, i.e. monthly apart from those months when Nurturing Potential itself will be published.  Thus June will see the first full issue of Nurturing Potential, while Potential Unleashed will reappear at the end of July.

Given the multiplicity of posts, periodicals, publications and blogs that inundate our computer monitors, (some of which appear daily!), we believe readers will welcome a reduction rather than an increase in output.  To say nothing of our contributors.  (Do we hear vast sighs of relief?)

The design seems to have settled down into an identifiable format.

Actions

We have opened our left-hand column to any of our friends and associates (the categories are not mutually exclusive!) who wish to post news, either original or reproduced from blogs posted elsewhere.  In the last issue it was Sylvia Farley, who is our contributing editor in the area of Ecology and the Environment. 

The column is not restricted to just one blogger.  Please share your news and views with our readers and your friends.  (Again, these are not mutually exclusive )

We are devoting the right hand column to details of all the books we have received for review as well as hoping to whet your appetites by listing the books received that are actually with reviewers for the next issue of Nurturing Potential.  We also feature some reviews already received, either in their entirety or in summary form, prior to being repeated or given in full in Nurturing Potential.

We have also opened this column for our contributors and editorial board members to let you to let you know what they are up to - below the heading Team News.

Finally, in this issue, we are delighted to have heard from our old contributor and friend from the original Nurturing Potential, Ramsey Dukes, whose article on Superstition will be published in the June issue of Nurturing Potential. In the meantime he has given us permission to reproduce an article he wrote during the Blair "presidency" in 2008.  This is entitled Democracy is Dying of AIDS. (Click on title to access)

Prospects

On the stocks and in the pending folder are the following intentions for the June issue of Nurturing Potential:

The Main Theme: We are taking a lead from an early Groupwork main theme in the original magazine.  This will deal with the difference between Teamwork and Groupwork.  How do teams differ from groups?

Beliefs:  We have the article Talisman from Amelia  May Kingston.

Business: We continue our examination of brain-storming and mind-mapping.

Culture: Dependency Theory - Where is it Now?

Further content will include articles in the areas of Therapy, Language and Linguistics, Health and Fitness, The Arts, Verse, Third Age,  Your contributions will be greatly appreciated.
