It's a New Day!!!
Romans 15: 13 NIV
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
This is my kick off blog post and I am excited to start this new journey. Like I do with most things in life, this website began by jumping in before thinking through the entire end result (thank goodness God gave me my husband so he can long-term plan)! I had to create a website for one of my classes at Gwynedd Mercy College (working on my Masters in Education). I originally fulfilled the website assignment by checking off the basics and throwing together an 'acceptable' site that would meet grade requirements. I was ready to move on to make dinner, do laundry, lesson prep or most likely binge watch Netflix. However, I then saw a beautiful site created by one of my classmates and it hit me that I should be creating a website that would add value to myself, students and families at my school. So, I went back to the drawing board and figured out how to create something that I might at least want to take a peek at.
I added a blog section so that the parents of my students could see what we were doing in class each day. I found that creating my lesson plans on-line was a great way for me to look back, and reflect upon what went well and what had some opportunity for improvement. I also found a sense of fulfillment in being able to see what has been accomplished over the months. I have the amazing ability to only remember the not so great moments and forget about the good. So, when I have a day when I feel like I was not able to teach my kiddos to the level that I wanted, I try to take a moment and see all that was accomplished over the months. It helps me to take a step back and take a look at the big picture (again, not my strength).
I found that writing and capturing my moments in the classroom was very therapeutic for me. At the same time, sharing God's love with my little "nuggets" each day has brought me such a sense of fulfillment. I truly feel that God has called me to share his joy through the voice of children and my faith has become stronger through my time in the classroom. Since journaling my days at Upper Dublin Christian Nursery School has given me such reflection and introspection, I wanted to step out and open up this spot for chatting, venting, growing, laughing, crying or whatever may come along the way.
Sometimes I walk through life having God right by my side, and sometimes I forget that He is always the answer. I want to explore my journey in life, spread the good in people, and find the joy and peace in the Lord.

I'm Rachel Myers, a mom of 2, married to my college guy, former Corporate America gal that stayed home with the kiddos, and now am a preK teacher. This is my little spot to reflect and make it through my journey. Sometimes I lean on Christ and sometimes I forget. Along the way, I love finding inspiration from others, spreading the good in people and finding the joy in God !

It is the first week of January and the world has reset itself. A new year, a new you. My 'you' is barely old enough to need resetting! LOL. I am looking for direction. Seeking my path. Whether it leads to enlightenment or a new pair of shoes, I don't know.
Roger Vivier is an inspiration. The designer opened his first boutique in Paris in 1937. Charming I am sure. Soon celebrities from France, like legendary beauties Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot, visited. Then things got all royal. Kate Middleton's mother-in-law, Queen E, that is for Elizabeth not England, visited too. Film royalty and actual royalty. So technically, wearing these fur-lined Vivier slides connects me with history in a comfy way.
Creating my own voice. Expressing my emotions. This is what fashion does for me. I tell the world who I am by what I choose to wear. I like colour. Textures like the velvet on this YSL cross-body and the soft cashmere knit of this Fendi Roma sweater.
It is always a pleasant surprise to find that one of your favourite brands is creating more options. I love Acne Studios for their cashmere/mohair scarves. The colours, the rough yet pleasing texture, how they feel wrapped around my neck when the wind is blowing. Now I find they make jeans. Not just regular jeans. These awesome ones. Short, wide bottoms, and fringed. So different. They make me very happy.
A new year. New resolutions? No. Just live. Explore. Get excited about opportunity. Take risks. Say YES to new ideas. Live. Hello 2019!
Ciao, Aixa

When I saw a DIY Terrarium on Pinterest I thought, "What a great idea for Christmas gifts! And so easy!"
Wow was I wrong!
- Terrarium – Before
I figured you just thew some rocks, soil and some plants in a glass container and the job was done! Not very pretty, is it? So here's what I did wrong:
- My container was not big enough: there was not enough room in the jar to have a decent layer of stones, soil and plant life. I also got a lot of soil on top of the leaves, but it was too tight to get my hand in to brush them off.
- Wrong kind of soil: the succulents I bought from Home Depot should be potted in a catcus/citrus potting soil, not a flower potting soil.
- Too many plants: this goes along with the "my container was not big enough". It's hard to see in the photo above, but when I added the soil around the plants, it got all over the leaves, is uneven, it's just a mess.
How to do it the right way:
What you will need:
- LARGE jar – get one larger than you think you need
- Decorative rocks
- Cactus/Citrus potting soil (if you're using succulents – if you prefer to use ferns, average potting soil will work fine)
- Activated charcoal (this will prevent mold from growing inside your terrarium)
- Succulents
- Small paint brush
- Put a decent layer of rocks on the bottom.
- Lay a thin layer of soil on top and pat down.
- Lay the plants individually where you want them and arrange to taste.
- Pack in potting soil around the plants, covering the roots and soil that came with them.
- Using a small paint brush, brush any soil clinging to the sides of the container, and, supporting the leaves with your hand, brush soil off the leaves.
- Wet thoroughly with a spray bottle. Wait 10 minutes and wet thoroughly again. This will help the plants take root.
How did my new and improved method turn out?

Slightly cheating again. When I read the prompt, I knew what I had to share.
I bought these handmade earrings at a craft show a while back. Problem is, they're too big and blingy for me to actually wear anywhere. But this seems like a good place to show them off.

We thought it was about time to have a chat with John, owner and founder of UK Bungee Club and one our very best experience providers. The level of professionalism and commitment to customer safety that the club projects makes it easy to understand why they are the market leader in bungee jumps. Here at Experience Days, many of our team have been lucky enough to jump and it is truly something we will never forget (you can see our jumps here). Although nerve wracking and nail bitingly scary, the rush of adrenaline is worth the anticipation and will leave you grinning ear-to-ear as you land back in reality. So, if you've been thinking about taking a step on the wild side and taking part in a bungee jump, have a read to find out a bit more about the adventure…
Q: Please could you tell us a bit about the history of UK Bungee and what inspired you to join the bungee jumping industry?
A: Bungee first started on 1/4/79 in Bristol when 4 members of the dangerous sports club jumped from the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol. What most people don't know is that Bungee jumping is a British invention. I jumped in Australia in 1991 and was hooked. Coming back to the UK The UK Bungee Club had just started operations. I became a Roadie and worked for the club more or less every weekend during the summer of 1992 completing all my exams to become a site controller. By 1993 the bubble had burst with only a handful of operations left in the UK. We decided to put a 300ft Crane next to the Thames in Battersea and we have never looked back. Today we offer 10 locations nationwide including Belfast at heights of 150ft, 300ft and 400ft plus the only Bridge in the UK plus the world's only indoor Bungee. Overseas operations have included Moscow, Abu Dhabi, Thailand, Brazil, Australia and South Africa to name but a few. The UK Bungee Club continues to be market leader in the UK for Bungee jumping and safety consultation with the health and safety executive.
Q: How has the bungee industry or customers' understanding of bungee changed over the years?
A: In the early days people were naturally scared of the product which was kind of the point. People were sceptical of the safety approach and the public needed educating. We were regularly inspected by local councils which we welcomed to spread the word regarding safety and that our operations were professional and run with integrity. Bungee is now recognised as a highly safe activity run by professionals. British health and safety is the best in the world and so by its very nature the attention to safety has been very high from inception back in 1992 when the company started. The general public know that with 25 years' experience we are the company to jump with.
Q: What's the most frequently asked question by customers?
A: Believe it not have you killed anybody and will I die. Thankfully the answer is no to both of these.
Q: What's next for the Bungee Industry in the UK? Any exciting news to share with us?
A: We are looking at our 25 year anniversary next year on the 16th July so potentially we are looking at a 400ft Crane jump at Wembley Stadium. Look out for information on the Experience Days website!
Thanks UK Bungee Club for letting us know a bit more about your story. You can buy a bungee jump here which is available from a number of different locations. If you haven't got the courage to jump on your own, jump with a friend!

Ibiza life coaching: Spring detox for body & mind
Although it's true we don't experience a very harsh winter here in Ibiza, it's still a welcome change to see the sun beginning to warm the soil on our island. So now that spring is in the air, how are you feeling? Ready to embrace the next summer season? Ready to rock and roll? Or are you feeling a little cluttered or congested, inside both the body and the mind?
If so, it's a wonderful time to add some fabulous fresh herbs into your day-to-day diet, to support your organs in physically cleansing themselves, plus to mentally rebalanced, clearer and lighter.
Here are our top three detoxifying and health giving herbs… all of which you can pick in the Ibiza campo and add to your daily lifestyle!
Parsley is high in vitamin C, potassium and folic acid and is a great blood purifier. It helps the body excrete toxins and helps lower the heart rate and blood pressure when eaten regularly. Boil it in the morning like a cup of tea, strain it and add lemon to give some parsley love to your kidneys!
Rosemary grows wild all around us in Ibiza, and is high in healing qualities, rich in iron, calcium, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese and magnesium. It tones the organs and can be made into a delicious tea with lemon and a little bit of honey (after the water has cooled down some) and (especially for those who love to party) it's known as the 'the herb of remembrance' – a mega-memory booster! Its high level of anti-oxidants make rosemary at an anti-cancer maven and in addition, it just loves the liver, deactivating dangerous toxins and helping your body flush them out. You can also soothe the digestive system after a big night out or a long beach lunch!
Lavender is a natural antibiotic with antiseptic and detoxifying qualities which can be enjoyed by popping it into your morning tea. You can also apply it via adding pure lavender essential oil to organic almond oil and rubbing it into the soles of your feet or adding it to a warm bath.
And while we're spring detoxing – let's not forget that the thoughts that we think can be just as toxic as eating the wrong foods and drinking to excess. The internal chatter that is constantly running through our minds is something that you can keep a conscious check-on. It takes self-discipline and it is as much of a practice as going to the gym, or practicing yoga – and guess what? It's up to you to do this.
You can choose high quality thoughts about yourself – for example, 'I am strong and powerful,' or 'I can create the new business enterprise that will bring me great fulfillment and fabulous financial returns,' or you can sink into the negative, toxic spirals of 'It's all my fault, I feel so bad about this,' and other guilt-laden thoughts chock full of animosity, anger, jealousy and other junk-food type thought vibrations.
Keeping thoughts pure and clear is a big part of life-mastery and meditation. Walks in nature and swimming in the sea can all assist you to calm and clear the mind so you can press reset and start again, with healthier, kinder, calmer thoughts and feelings whenever you need to!
Ibiza life coaching expert Larah Davis is available for one-to-one coaching sessions. Contact her via Radiance Life & Wellness Coaching on White Ibiza.

Kaspar Korjus of Estonias e-residency programme writes on Medium about Estonias thoughts on launching a crypto currency. These are their initial reasons for doing it:
"From Estonia's perspective, estcoins were proposed as a way to raise money and support for the development of our digital nation from more people around the world. We would also want to structure the tokens so that they help build our e-resident community and incentivise our own key objective, which is to increase the number of companies started in Estonia through e-Residency."
They admit that Estcoin sort of is a solution to an, as of yet, unspecified problem. Read the whole article here:
We're planning to launch estcoin — and that's only the start
Among the interesting facts, I found this:
"... the amount of money being raised globally by startups through ICOs is now far in excess of the amount being raised through venture capital."

City North Projection
by Robert Walker. He created a projection of a quantised city, superimposed with models of a stalled development. In an installation, this was projected onto the council's draft planning documents and displayed with vintage photographs of the area and the sales brouchure for overseas investors. The room was full of plywood, tools and sawdust, reminiscent of an inactive building site.

Strictly for Legato and a soaring line... especially for faster legato passages, which one do you prefer? which do you find easier to work with and the more agile of the two?

As the Humpty Dumpty song plays on, the character is seen sitting on a wall "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall", and eventually falling off "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall". When it comes to the part of "All the king's horses and all the king's men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again", the video shows those characters rushing to aid the injured Humpty Dumpty.

It has long been proven – the female orgasm is not only pleasant but also very useful for women's health. In the process of discharge, higher doses of hormones are produced, including estrogen and testosterone. Due to the climax, the work and condition of bones, muscle tissues, and cardiovascular system are improved. A woman looks younger. And people who regularly have sex are less likely to get flu, colds and get depressed.
It is unfashionable to be frigid. Therefore, many women, after watching erotic movies and having read love stories, try to be as erotic and active as possible. Thus, today we will discuss the following problem, how to make a girl cum?
To reach the peak point, it usually takes a woman from 10 to 20 minutes. Before the orgasm, pleasant warmth spreads around the intimate area – thanks to the increased blood flow in the pelvic floor area. The labia and clitoris swell noticeably, increasing in size (although at the very moment of orgasm, the clitoris gets drawn inside, shrinking in the process).
The walls of the vagina emit a sufficient amount of secretory lubrication, ensuring the comfort of the process. The vagina is lengthened, the uterus is tightened, the muscles of the whole body tighten. Heartbeat becomes more frequent, blood pressure rises, and this is one of the reasons why you should have a good physical form. In the end, the body reacts to the onset of the peak moment with a series of contractions of the muscles of the vagina, uterus, and anus. All this last on average from 3 to 15 seconds.
As a result of the complete mobilization of the endocrine glands, dopamine, endorphin, oxytocin, and many other substances enter the blood. And if endorphin produces euphoria, and oxytocin makes any partner excited by a simple touch, creating a sense of trust, then dopamine is the most "feminist" chemical.
Dopamine gives women a sense of freedom and a feeling of self-love. However, dopamine is associated with the expectation of a reward and therefore it is released into the blood when we look forward to quality sex. However, if frustration from intimacy becomes chronic, the dopamine arrival mechanism simply breaks down. It can result in reduced libido, apathy, and even depression.
Why Women Don't Have Orgasms
Problem with health
The ability to experience unforgettable sensations in sex much depends on the physical condition of a female body. Their orgasmic experiences are affected by the following range of problems: any chronic disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, various neurological disorders, hormonal deficiency, especially androgen deficiency, pathology of the pelvic organs, injuries, toxic effects (alcohol, drugs, tranquilizers, antidepressants, antihypertensive drugs), etc.
Sexual trauma
Sexual abuse is a fairly common phenomenon. Examination shows that one in three women and one in six men is the victim of sexual abuse. One in four women can become a rape victim. Such violence has many manifestations in a person's adult life. One of these manifestations is the difficulty in getting pleasure from sex.
Personal factors
You will not envy men whose chosen ones are "obsessed" with certain prejudices and negative attitudes towards men and sex, "You all have only one thing in mind!" etc. To give such a lady pleasure in bed is possible only after a course of psychotherapy. Some women are afraid of losing control over their behavior during orgasm, so they strongly oppose it. Low evaluation of their erotic attractiveness also does not give them any sexual appetite. The personal factors also include the presence of an intrapersonal conflict in a woman and dependence on public opinion.
Problem with partner
No matter how sad it sounds, but many even mature men, just do not know how to give a woman pleasure. But there are also those for whom only their own satisfaction is important, and they ignore the needs of their female partners. A woman cannot reach orgasm without getting the attention of a partner. Of course, there will be no regular orgasms if a man has an impaired sexual function, for example, unstable erection, premature ejaculation, chronic prostatitis, etc.
Best Sex Positions to Achieve Female Orgasm
Thus, if there are no issues in sight, then how could a woman not be able to receive an orgasm? Well, she doesn't feel comfortable in whichever the position you prefer, maybe she wants to try something different, but her man is just too reluctant in this. This is unacceptable, and both partners should be able to reach orgasm, thus, some changes have to be made. You should experiment in bed, add some new positions to your "arsenal of pleasures." How to make a woman reach orgasm?
Here are some of the best positions for her out there.
How to perform?
There are two important factors to it. How a penis works and which parts of it are the most sensitive?
I think any girl knows that the most sensitive part of the penis is the glans. But the glans is far from being uniform, that is, not equally sensitive in its different places. The most sensitive areas are the rim (convex edge of the glans, which goes around it around the entire circumference), cheeks and bridle. By understanding this, a woman can consciously make movements for more intensive stimulation of a particular area of the glans.
What parts of the penis, at what position of your body and at what movements are more stimulated?
Here it is important to understand all the nuances that go into this position, as different approaches stimulate different areas of the vagina and the penis. If a girl, for example, sits on top of her partner, facing him, the stronger she will bend over him (forward), the more intensely her back wall of the vagina will be stimulated with the front of his penis glans (cheeks and bridle), which is the most sensitive. If a girl, on the contrary, leans back, then a penis mainly interacts with the front wall of her vagina (where the G-spot is located) but with the opposite outer side of the glans of a penis, which is less sensitive.
Why does it work?
Erogenous zones are all within reach of a man. In the missionary position and doggy style, some of your erogenous zones are out of the game, and the rider's position allows you to use them all without exception.
Touches, kisses, stroking each other during sex cause sensations of a completely new, higher level, a woman can gently bite a man's nipples, kiss, lick, slightly scratch his chest and stomach, squeeze the inner thighs.
Gravity is on your side. When a man lies or sits on the bed, and a woman is riding him, the pressure of her body allows a man to move even deeper inside. This not only gives both partners a lot of pleasure but also has a positive effect on a man's self-esteem.
The first one is called "reverse cowgirl." A woman should down on her man's cock with her back turned to him, and slightly lean forward.
The second one requires a bit more effort from a woman. From the classic "rider" position, this one is distinguished only by the fact that the woman's legs are extended, and her feet lie near the shoulders of a man. A woman should lean back a little and rest her hands on the bed.
How to perform?
Well, this is perhaps the most intuitive position ever. A woman gets on her knees, leans forward and spreads out her arms, giving a man control over the situation. A woman is still involved, she can keep the rhythm going, but that is pretty much it.
Why does it work?
This is the classic Kama Sutra position: the doggy-style position is good because it provides maximum stimulation of the G-spot without any effort, and there is something primitive in it, and this excites many girls out there.
Do you want to spice up the old doggy-style with something new? You can have sex in doggy style in front of a mirror! A woman may ask her man to lightly slap her on the buttocks in the process! However, if you both prefer your sex to be more romantic, a man can now and then gently stroke his woman.
Missionary Position
How to perform?
This is a classic position, even those who haven't got the pleasure in this position are pretty proficient with it, it's that simple. It would seem that this position does not allow for any female initiative at all: the man does everything, and female's participation consists of just acting. This is only partially true, but yes, it doesn't involve lots of creativity on the side of a woman.
This is the position (according to the idea of Christian missionaries) in which a woman shouldn't do anything at all, but women enjoy it a lot because in almost all of its variants both the clitoris and the G-spot are stimulated at the same time, so that when a woman reaches an orgasm, she doesn't know whether it was a vaginal or a clitoral orgasm.
Why does it work?
The most important advantage of the missionary position is its romantic component. You can look into the partner's eyes, kiss each other, whisper various nonsense in the partner's ears, hug and caress. On the other hand, a man can feel somewhat lonely in this position. True, a man gets tired of this power after a while, especially if he supports his woman with his arms. Another upside is this: a woman gets her clitoris stimulated quite a lot in this position, which means that the likelihood that she will reach orgasm increases. Also, it is the perfect position for lazy people because it does not require special flexibility, sexual experience, and it's not too tiring. It is most convenient for partners who make love for the first time as well as for virgins of both sexes.
Most variations involve a simple pillow, it can be placed under a woman's lower back or her head, whichever she finds to be the most comfortable. A woman can cross her legs behind a man's back, this way her vagina gets tighter, thus it makes it more enjoyable for both partners.
Open-Legged Spoon
How to perform?
In this case, a woman lies on her side with her back facing her partner, and a man embraces her from behind, hugging her breasts and hips. It is in this position that partners can easily have sex after just waking up. This is facilitated by the morning erection of a man who is not fully aware of his actions, trying to more closely pull over to the partner's buttocks and place his penis between her thighs. Feeling the desire of a beloved man, she slightly bends and lifts up the leg, allowing his penis to enter deeper.
Why does it work?
The Open-Legged Spoon position, when it comes to morning sex, and, in fact, at any other time of the day or night, allows a woman to relax and have fun, and I think that this position has been created just for that.
A man's hands are practically free, and he can caress the woman's clitoris with one hand and stroke her nipples with the other. Women are extremely fond of this position since it is easy, comfortable and allows for lots of variations to be implemented.
This position provides a man with the opportunity to caress his woman in all possible places, and a loving man will definitely take advantage of this without having missed her belly, neck, ears, and so on.
Sometimes it is worth changing this position a bit, as this will bring more unique experiences into your sex life. For example, by making love on a side, a woman can hug her boyfriend's legs with her own ones and bend. This simple trick will allow her partner to make deeper thrusts and increase friction.
The second variation is designed to make a pause and stretch the process of making love. If you feel that you are a little tired, roll onto your side (try to do it as carefully as possible so as not to interrupt the thrusts), twist your legs as if you are two spiders and slowly move gently caressing each other.
Lotus Flower
How to perform?
In the Lotus position, a woman needs to sit on her man, clasping his legs. A man can cross his legs or straighten them out if he wants to. You can experiment on a bed, sofa or even on the floor.
Why does it work?
When a woman is pregnant, the level of female hormones and estrogen increases, and she gets horny, you should think about what position you should choose for sex during this period, the lotus position happens to be ideal for this situation. The Lotus Flower position is good because both partners can control the rhythm and speed of the penetration.
There is also a variation of the lotus position in which the man is on top. It seems to be that there is no difference in this. A man is lying on his partner or is holding his weight on his outstretched hands. But there is a difference – a lot depends on the angle at which the hips of the partners are located, the depth and angle of penetration is also quite important in this.
While a man's orgasm is, generally speaking, quite a straight-forward thing, a girl's orgasm is a lot more complicated, as you can see. There are so many important things, which you should consider helping her achieve the best orgasm, proper stimulation of the erogenous zones, g-spot, clitoris, and then there is emotional engagement, lots of caressing, prelude and etc. The amount of knowledge that a man should have to be truly proficient in sex can be quite discouraging, but don't worry. The most important thing in sex is an emotional connection, true love brings more stimulation than any sexual position.

I'd sort of be lying if I said it started with a single picture, but that's when it really became concrete. That's the moment I can pinpoint. I've been drawing and writing since I was a kid. The dream was to become a comic book artist. But as I grew up, I fell more in love with books, and comics started to take a backseat. I started writing poetry. I began learning to play the guitar and bass. All those poems were songs in waiting. Eventually, some friends and I started a band and we kept at it for almost 8 years, with two albums under our belt.
Those things came to an end. Not so much because I hated music, but as soon as I got close enough to the music industry to see behind the scenes, I wanted no part of it. Then one of the members died, and that was the nail in the coffin for me. At some point in my mid-twenties, I had a chance encounter that led to me trying to shop a screenplay I'd written called Beer Run of the Dead. That fell through but a couple years later, I converted the thing into a book. By age 26, I'd written the dumbest novel on the planet that basically asked the question, "What if the cure to a zombie bite was booze?"
Years of partying essentially wrote the book. I'd been trying to write it since high school, but the lack of actual living always left me with something hollow. (more…)

DuPont analysis, which is also known as the DuPont identity or the DuPont model, is a method you can use to break down your company's return on equity into three parts so you can have a better understanding of its value. This model doesn't simply focus on your company's net income. Instead, it breaks down return on equity in a way that allows you to focus on various aspects of your company's operations to increase its value over time. Companies with shareholders can use the DuPont analysis to show shareholders a breakdown in their return on equity.
Basic Return on Equity
The return on equity ratio is a profitability ratio that measures your company's ability to generate profits from shareholders' investment. This ratio is calculated as:
Return on equity = net income / shareholders' equity.
For example, assume your company has net income of $500,000 and shareholders' equity of $5 million. The return on equity is:
$500,000 / $5 million = 10%
Even though this number is helpful in analyzing your company's return on equity, the DuPont method shows a much more detailed picture.
The DuPont Analysis Formula
The DuPont analysis breaks return on equity into three major components:
- Operating efficiency as measured by profit margin
- Asset use efficiency as measured by total asset turnover
- Financial leverage as measured by the equity multiplier
These individual pieces are calculated as:
- Profit margin = net income / sales
- Total asset turnover = sales / assets
- Equity multiplier = assets / shareholders' equity
Taken as a whole, the DuPont formula is:
Return on equity = profit margin x total asset turnover x equity multiplier
This breaks down into:
Return on equity = (net income / sales) x (sales / assets) x (assets / shareholders' equity)
Example DuPont Calculations
Let's say there are two companies. Over one year, both companies have a 45% return on equity. On the surface, both may seem very similar since they have equal return on equity ratios, but upon further analysis using the DuPont method, it is shown they are very different.
Assume the following data for Company A:
- Net income = $90,000
- Sales = $300,000
- Assets = $600,000
- Equity= $200,000
Assume the following data for Company B:
- Net income = $22,500
- Sales = $150,000
- Assets = $25,000
- Equity = $50,000
The calculations for the components of return on equity for Company A are:
- Profit margin = $90,000 / $300,000 = 30%
- Total asset turnover = $300,000 / $600,000 = 50%
- Equity multiplier = $600,000 / $200,000 = 3
The calculations for the components of return on equity for Company B are:
- Profit margin = $22,500 / $150,000 = 15%
- Total asset turnover = $150,000 / $25,000 = 600%
- Equity multiplier = $25,000 / $50,000 = 0.5
The DuPont analysis for each is:
Company A return on equity = 0.3 x 0.5 x 3 = 45%
Company B return on equity = 0.15 x 6 x 0.5 = 45%
It is very clear these companies are different. Company A has a much stronger profit margin but is not utilizing its assets as well as Company B. Also, Company A has less leverage than Company B. The DuPont analysis paints a much clearer picture and would give you much better data about your company's performance.

TAFE Illawarra is no more, with individual institutes dismantled and placed under the control of one streamlined provider.
TAFE Illawarra is no more, withindividual institutes dismantled and placed under the control of onestreamlined provider.
Minister for Skills John Barilaro announced on Wednesday last weekthe state's 10 TAFE institutes would become one overarching, multi-campus operation –part of "once-in-a-generationreforms"ofthe sector.
The change comes into effect immediately but it is unclear how TAFEIllawarra will be effected.
As part of the change a new digital education headquarters will be created in regional NSW to deliver more online and in-workplace training in a move the government says will expand TAFE's reach and reverse the huge recent decline in enrolments.
TAFE Illawarra Bega campus Teachers Federation representative David Grainger is concerned the push towards online learning could have a negative affect on students and could also mean job losses at the local campus.
"The Bega campus is a fantastic resource and I would hate to see it downsized and for students to suffer," he said.
Mr Grainger's concerns lay in thatevery person learns differently and he believesstreamlining the approach could make TAFE more difficult for people who learn best with hands-on demonstrations and face-to-face discussions.
NSW Teachers Federation representative for Bega's TAFE campus David Grainger at a "Stop TAFE cuts" forum in 2014.
"There are other parts to learning including access to a counsellor or a careers advisorand being able to go to a library and be assisted by a trained librarian," he said.
"These other services can mean the difference between success and failure for many local students."
The announcement last week did not go into detail on how it will be implemented and Mr Grainger said this is the main problem as he is "more worried about what wasn't announced".
Mr Barilaroassured the News Weekly on Tuesday, July 18, that there wereno plans in placetoclosethe TAFE Illawarra Bega campus.
"Where there is a TAFE today, there will be a TAFE in the future," Mr Barilaro said.
"TAFE is not leaving town."

An employee is standing around on a construction site. Probably he's waiting around for material to run through a brush chipper while the other crew members are taking down another tree. Meanwhile, the tree stump from the first removal is prepared for grinding.
Or a crew is shorthanded or even shut down for the day because the only guy who can climb is out sick.
One probable solution for both of these problems is to cross-train staff. If that first crew member knew how to run the stump grinder, he could do that job and the crew would be more productive. In the second scenario, if a tree service has multiple crews, some shuffling around could lead to that absent crew member's spot being filled.
Here are 5 Factors that will benefit your company from cross-training employees.
1. Increase adaptability – Continuing the thought above, cross-training employees can reduce the length of time crew members stand around and also keep crews running at full strength, allowing for improved productivity and efficiency.
2. Enhance staffing -There are ups and downs in the tree care sector. Companies may staff up when it gets busy and then cut back when it's slow. This may entail hiring full-time, part-time or seasonal employees, or some combination thereof. Being able to combine personnel to crews can help keep a company at an ideal staffing level. For example, if you suddenly get a lot of tree removals, you can move some employees off plant health care duties to help climb or operate machinery rather than hiring new staffers.
3. Defeat the forecast – It's just a truth of life that tree care employees have to endure the weather. If conditions are so bad you are unable to climb, but you can still remove brush and grind stumps, having crew members with a variety of abilities can keep you operating when other businesses are shut down during the day.
4. Remain fresh – Some tree care work is more physically demanding than others. Think of a climber versus someone hauling material with a loader. Having the ability to rotate your crew members may keep them fresh and improve overall productivity.
5. Increase well-being – Cross-training employees to shows them that you care about their professional development, and happy staff often go the extra mile for their employers. They also may reward them with their loyalty. In an industry where finding and retaining staff is certainly one of the greatest issues, this is a great bonus.

Once a cactus went for the record in achievements by a succulent. It couldn't see any reason not to go for the record, being as it had long since surpassed all other cacti for size and for the wealth of water it could hold. To say nothing of the lavish blooms it boasted around the middle of April every year. The cactus would take admiring stock of itself at this time and ask if there'd ever been anything like it for luxuriant display. The only rival it could think of was itself in the last flowering season, and what it recalled was as nothing beside what it could claim now. If it enjoyed the good fortune to have grown this large and impressive, that must be how things were meant to turn out. If it was the biggest and best-endowed cactus around, didn't that mean it deserved to be? Its own success must confirm the inevitable workings of nature. What was, in brief, was for the best. Admittedly, setting a record would require the cactus to absorb and hold more water than ever before. Since there was only so much water available in the desert, however, and since other, lesser cacti thought they were entitled to part of it, some tough decisions would have to be made. If the cactus was indeed destined for unimagined size and substance, then it must not flinch at any test of its resolve. It must show a boldness of vision unmarred by the slightest qualms. The first order of business would be the claims of these lesser succulents. Why should they, not in a position to set records themselves, have the same right to the limited water supply it did? They would never have a reach equal to its own nor ever produce flowers to vie, even remotely, with those it already scattered in excess. Even if these others faded, shriveled, and died away while it alone thrived, what would that matter against the one simple reckoning of worth: if it had become the biggest cactus around, the hope for the future of cactdom, then whatever water it required was surely its due. And in truth, as the cactus spread its roots and drew to itself water that might have been shared with so many others, they withered to the same degree it prospered. The more water it claimed, the more it swelled. And the more it swelled, the more water it could hold. In this way, growth fed upon growth without limit, until the firm lines of its original shape disappeared in a tumid crush of blossoms and thorns. It was clearly reaching new heights all the time, no doubt about that. Yet as it towered ever larger over the landscape, as it sucked the earth dry to satisfy its burgeoning needs, something else was happening as well. Beneath its resplendent flowers, the cactus was turning to mush inside, producing a top-heavy, distended monstrosity in danger of falling from its own unequal weight. If that happened, if the whole Brobdingnagian mass began to sway and sag and finally toppled into the shadow of its own success, what would its prospects for unsurpassed triumph be then? Stretched out upon the parched wastes it had created far and wide, would the cactus be able to claim anything more than an asterisk and a footnote in the record books? No, such a fate was inconceivable! Such a calamitous plunge from—but wait— Might there be some record for spectacular collapses the cactus could still set on its way down?
