(L to R) Mary Hunter, Susan Duncan , Suresh Shrestha, Dave Denbigh ~ during Suresh' presentation to the TRU nursing students in September 2015.
We are very sad to announce that David Denbigh, a director with World Neighbours Canada passed away suddenly on 7 December. David was an excellent spokesperson and supporter of WNC, and was often called upon to explain the philosophy and uniqueness of our organization. Each time he spoke, his conviction and interest in WNC was expressed clearly, succinctly and with genuine enthusiasm. Both Dave and his wife Libby had a particular interest in the Nepal water and sanitation projects and visited the area on two occasions ~ once with their extended family ~ to view the newly installed water system in the village of Salleni. The water system was dedicated to their late daughter Rachel, for whom the people of Nepal had a special place in her heart. We will miss Dave's contribution on the Board.
"It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden loss of David Denbigh who passed away the evening of Dec 7th surrounded by his family. He is survived by his mother Anne, wife Libby, daughter Sarah (Brian), son Ian (Gina), brother Tony (Gerri), nephew Charlie and niece Mary-Anne, as well as grandchildren Cesar, Sumiko, Yuma and Olyn.
He is predeceased by his father Ian Denbigh and his daughter Rachel (Aaron).
David lived a full and rich life. He was passionate about teaching and his career with school district 73 spanned over 30 years and included high-school to elementary to adult education. He did not just teach within school hours but spent immeasurable time coaching and refereeing basketball, directing children's plays, driving to field trips and many other activities. He loved to ski, golf and flyfish. Teaching his grandchildren these sports was a joy for him. In retirement, David, and his wife Libby took to travelling. Together they have visited many countries always returning with vibrant pictures and interesting stories.

Pathfinder 2: The Storyteller
By Corey Buhay
If you want to sell to environmental sceptics, you have to have both a good product and know how to talk about it. Nick Brown has made a career of doing exactly that.
Nikwax founder Nick Brown has always been a smooth talker. But he admits that in the beginning, he wasn't necessarily putting that gift to use for the environment.
"To be honest, the first sustainability aspect on my mind was sustaining myself," he laughs.
Nick had always been interested in science, but when he went to university he ultimately chose a degree in social anthropology.
"When I graduated, I was very poor and very unemployable," he says.
Fortunately, he possessed a secret recipe for a waterproof boot wax, which he'd perfected during years of trekking through the English countryside. When an outdoor shop asked 22-year-old Nick to make them some in 1977, Nikwax was born. Within a few years, Nikwax's product line had expanded to include sprayable waterproofing for apparel. Nick, who'd always considered himself an environmentalist, immediately chose to use plastic spray bottles in lieu of CFC-spewing aerosol cannisters.
"But I knew if we could use water-based solvents, consumers would be able to put the garment in a washing machine. That would mean no sprayer at all, so less packaging and a more effective application."
This would mean a huge shift for Nikwax's consumer base, but if anyone could get them on board, it was Nick.
"Quite early on, I realized that communicating to our consumers was really important, and we became quite good at that," Nick explains.
Communicating chemistry
He was able to combine his extensive scientific literacy—gained from regularly reading science magazines "cover-to-cover"—with his gift of gab to successfully communicate his environmental values to Nikwax customers. That talent has been crucial to the brand's success.
"At the end of it, most Nikwax products are white liquids, and the consumer can't see the huge amount of work and testing that's gone into producing those white liquids. If you're not prepared to tell the story of it to your consumers, you're not going to get very far," Nick says.
In the end, consumers reacted positively to the new wash-in waterproofing. And retailers, initially hesitant to adopt the new product, relented after noticing the increased demand that Nick had helped cultivate.
The campaign was a success, but stories about CEOs pushing hard to make environmentally-friendly products work are far from the norm. Nick speculates that, for many brands, it's because the unspoken goal is more about gaining positive PR than saving the planet. The antidote? Nick recommends bringing corporate social responsibility personnel and scientific advisors up to the director level, ensuring the C-suite remains educated about what matters.
Nick also urges companies to take a leap with new products, as Nikwax did with its wash-in waterproofing in the 1980s.
"Even now, what's driving consumers isn't the environmental thing. It's product performance," Nick says.
To do good, brands have to make a product that's both environmentally friendly, and better than anything else out there. "If you want to make a change, you have to have some pain in the beginning," Nick says.
"It requires commitment."

Prospect Park in Brooklyn is a public park covering 2.37 km² / 2.55 ft². It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux after they had completed Central Park in Manhattan. Its landscaping began in 1866, and the park opened to the public a year later even though work on it was still being conducted. These activities were finished in 1873. Elms have always been a feature of the park.
As a result of a successful test involving DutchTrig® vaccinations in the Bronx, Brooklyn authorities decided in 2016 to have their own elms vaccinated. Some of the trees being protected include a number dating back to the landscaping of the park which makes them truly historic.
From 2018 New York City Parks has included Fort Tryon Park in the vaccination program. The 27 ha. park is situated on a ridge (called Lange Berg by the Dutch settlers) in Upper Manhattan, and extends from Margaret Corbin Circle in the south to Riverside Drive at Dyckman Street in the north, and from Broadway in the east to the Henry Hudson Parkway in the west. The main entrance to the park is at Margaret Corbin Circle, at the intersection of Fort Washington Avenue and Cabrini Boulevard.
A beautiful collection of American and English elms is in jeopardy as result of the occurrence of Dutch elm disease. New York City is giving follow up on the DutchTrig vaccination trials in the Bronx and Brooklyn by treating a large part of the remaining elms in Fort Tyron Park. With this New York City has taken a definite step in the transition to biological control of the elm population in the city.

Nintendo confirms that Switch Lite is the only new hardware for this year
The rumored revision with better screen would arrive later that Lite, which premieres on September 20.
Nintendo Switch Lite it's official, and is put up for sale on September 20. This is the filtered model which until now was known as Switch, Mini, aimed at players looking for only a portable device, but you are not the only preparation if we ignore the leaks of the past few months. The other would offer a review of the original hardware, possibly with 1080p screen, and a slight increase in power.
Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo of America, has talked to CNET on Switch Lite and confirms that this is the only new hardware that we'll see this year. "Lite is not a sequel to Switch, it is more of a spin-off low cost. it will Also be the only new model of Switch for this Christmas, because Bowser says, that the Switch large -the current one – will not be an improvement right now", says the text.
The analyst Daniel Ahmad has commented on the article and points out that "the plan has always been to throw first Switch Lite. As I put in February, those who expect a Switch to Pro or Switch 2 will have to wait more".
The plan was always for a Switch Lite to launch first.
As I posted back in February, those expecting to Switch to Pro or Switch 2 would be waiting a longer time. pic.twitter.com/Z8VbOnwrLP— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) July 10, 2019
Switch to Lite: for players portable
The main difference of the Nintendo Switch Lite with respect to the original model is that it has built-in controls and is slightly smaller the original version of Switch, with a display of 5.5 inches in front of the 6.2 the normal model. The screen resolution is resolution of 1280×720 (720p), like the first model of the Switch.
has No support and, as a device focused on gaming laptop, can't connect to the tv. Therefore, do not include or base or HDMI cable. The battery life has increased and only compatible with games with portable mode.
