OPUS Montreal | Formerly the Hotel Godin, the building that is now home to OPUS Montreal was built by Joseph Arthur Godin in 1914 (and the first poured concrete building in North America). Located on the corner of Sherbrooke Avenue and Boulevard Saint- Laurent, this boutique hotel has 136 guest rooms that are sleek and luxurious, with vibrant colors on the walls. Art Nouveau in style, it features a signature curving staircase, which is no longer in use but may be viewed from the third floor. Notice the Gaudi influences on the corner exterior section of the hotel. Saint-Laurent is the perfect street for shopping or enjoying a meal at one of the many fine restos.
La Place d'Armes | Located in Vieux-Montreal (Old Montreal), this was the city's first boutique. It features luxurious rooms, studios with balconies and penthouse suites. There are also fireplaces in every room, complimentary breakfast and complimentary wine/cheese each evening. I enjoyed Rainspa, an urban spa with a hammam, where I had a massage and a pedicure one afternoon. Aix Cuisine du Terroir serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and the Suite 701 lounge bar is nice for a cocktail or two.
Auberge Bonaparte | Also located in Vieux Montreal, it's a small hotel with 31 rooms. Built in 1886 by architect Victor Roy, it features old stone and shiny wood floors, along with large windows that open out. I had a side view of the Notre-Dame de Montreal Basilica, just a few blocks away. The basilica is where Celine Dion was married and where the late Pavarotti performed, as did The Three Tenors. Enjoy breakfast and dinner at Restaurant Bonaparte on the main floor. Chef Gerard Fort has been creating yummy classic French cuisine here since 1991. Ask for a table overlooking rue Saint-Francois-Xavier and watch the caleches go by.
Sofitel Montreal | Don't let the office building look scare you away. The interior of this 258-room hotel is glass and metal throughout, contemporary and light. The lobby features furniture of Quebec cherry wood and a stained-glass window representing a pastoral view of Montreal. I loved the colorful carpet. Thick and hand-woven, it was designed in the style of French painter Fernand Leger and has four themes: Montreal Jazz Festival, Cirque du Soleil, Grand Prix of Canada and Montreal winter sports. Since I sleep around a lot, I give this my VBB Award (Very Best Bed Award). It was like being in a cozy cocoon! The hotel is located near McGill University and in the heart of the Golden Square Mile. Renoir serves contemporary cuisine.
Hotel Le Guilleret | This is a delightful little spot I found in Vieux Montreal on rue Saint-Vincent. Built in 1780, the red and white facade is a favorite of photographers. In 2005, a young couple took over the former printing office, which was also a restaurant, hotel and private residence. When you check it, you receive your own key to the outside door, so you feel like you're living here. The charming auberge has a total of three suites and five rooms, all very French with wood floors and six fireplaces throughout. Free WiFi, but bring your own shampoo and robe. A full breakfast is served with fresh croissants, and you can even cook an egg in the open, stone-walled kitchen. If you wish to rent the entire house, it fits up to 22 people comfortably. My room with breakfast was $98. A real find!


Beth & Dan are the current owners and operators of the Barn at Five Lakes. The resort has been in Beth's family since her parents purchased it in 1976. The Barn was originally supposed to house Dan's many horses (he had 12 at one time!) but alas, it became a premier event venue instead. Now Dan's horses (he's down to 2) get to live in the rolling pastures surrounding the Barn. Beth & Dan live in cabin 8 during the winter, while the resort offices occupy the barn. They live at Fair Hills Resort in the summer. Beth & Dan have 6 children, 10 grandchildren and 1 dog!
Lisa is part of the owning family and is Beth's sister. She is the on-site manager and lives in cabin #7. Lisa knows the Barn and Lake Five like the back of her hand. She hikes and kayaks almost daily during the summer. She knows where the fish, eagle's nests, beaver dams and deer like to be. Lisa is also the on-site event director for the Barn. She manages the staff, organizes the set-up, catering and clean up and even cooks steaks on the grill. She is the Jill-of-all-Trades of the Barn. In the winter when we are closed, Lisa enjoys visiting warm Florida!
It's difficult to say when Marlette first started working here. She has always been hanging around Fair Hills and Five Lakes Resort as Lisa's best friend, so we finally decided to put her to work. Marlette is our Barn at Five Lakes Wedding Venue Coordinator. She works with the couples to help plan the perfect venue for their wedding. Marlette is a former special ed teacher and lives in Vergas. She also used to own the Quiet Cricket eclectic gift shop in Vergas, but has recently sold the business and is enjoying "retirement." When not planning weddings, Marlette enjoys spending time with her daughters, Emma & Sydney, who have both worked at Fair Hills.
Laura is our Events Coordinator for the Barn and General Manager of Wildflower Golf Course. We keep her very busy during the summer between planning events at Fair Hills and the Barn and working with golfers at the course. Originally from St. Thomas, North Dakota, Laura also grew up on Lake Melissa and knows the Detroit Lakes area well. She graduated in May 2013 from North Dakota State University with a degree in Hospitality. Laura splits her time between Detroit Lakes and Fargo.
Tammy is our Head Housekeeper at Five Lakes Resort. She takes care of the cabins and our overnight guests. Tammy started at Fair Hills and worked her way up to managing Five Lakes Resort. Tammy also helps out with events at the Barn in the kitchen. Tammy resides in Lake Park, MN with her husband and kids.
Caitlin is the General Manager of Fair Hills & Five Lakes Resort and focuses on reservations and human resources. She stared working at Fair hills as a store girl in 2004 but has been a guest there since 1986. Originally from Mt. Prospect, IL, she graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Finance. Caitlin got married August 3, 2013! Caitlin and her wife Gretchen have two sets of twins: Jack & Miles age 3 and Rory & Finn born 11/14/18. Along with their two dogs, the live on nearby Hook Lake!
Emily is our Creative Director and is in charge of marketing, advertising, social media and all things visual. Do you follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?! You should, because Emily is always posting something new and exciting. Emily grew up visiting the resort but didn't start spending her full time here until the last few years. She graduated from the University of St. Thomas and spent several years working in the twin cities before moving up to Detroit Lakes permanently. Emily married former staff & Pelican Lake resident Patrick Meyers on October 6, 2012. They have two daughters, Wilhelmenia and Ingrid.

Concise stories of significant Christian leaders
© Peter J. Blackburn 1999
John Stott was born an April 27th 1921, the only son of a leading Harley Street physician, Sir Arnold Stott, and his wife Emily. Sir Arnold was an agnostic and very much part of the secularist scientific world, while Lady Stott was a Lutheran. Young John's first words (so it is said) were "coronary thrombosis", an indication of the kind of atmosphere in which he was raised. He was brought up in the Anglican parish of All Souls, Langham Place, London, which is near Harley Street. As a small boy he developed a deeply felt awareness of the underprivileged and of social justice.
John was taught the Christian faith by his mother. He and his sisters had gone to church, read their Bibles and said their prayers, but, as he wrote later, this was "more out of affectionate loyalty to her and out of routine, than as a personally meaningful discipline."
John went to Rugby school, which has been called "the school at which 'muscular Christianity' had begun - an unthinking, nominal and very English kind of belief more to do with 'being a good chap' than having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Saviour." There was a Christian Union there (meeting with some disapproval from the authorities) to which an evangelist, Rev. Eric Nash, came. At a meeting in February 1939, Nash was speaking on Pilate's question, "What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Christ?" Stott was riveted. "That I needed to do anything with Jesus was an entirely novel idea to me, for I had imagined that somehow he had done whatever needed to be done, and that my part was only to acquiesce." Nash did not press for decisions, but had the sensitivity and wisdom "to let me go, so that I could 'open the door' to Christ by myself, which I did that very night by my bedside in the dormitory, while the other boys were in bed and asleep." From that point he became very active in evangelism, carefully leading several of his fellow pupils to faith in Christ.
He went to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1939, initially to study modern languages and in this he did very well. He then transferred to reading theology. He was determined to "bridge the gap between Evangelicals and the intellectual world, while at the same time retaining his Christian commitment and evangelistic zeal." Nash's influence continued to be seen in "single-minded commitment to Christ, passionate concern for sharing the Gospel, disciplined devotion to the Word, simple and direct preaching..." But, unlike Nash, Stott exhibited a much more vigorously thoughtful faith which enabled him to have intellectual integrity as well as be a fully committed Evangelical Christian.
Sir Arnold had hoped that his son would join the Diplomatic Service, but instead he was ordained into the Church of England - to the parish of All Souls, Langham Place where he has remained ever since.
Stott had been giving Bible readings since the age of 19, and was naturally led to give preaching the highest priority. The expository sermons given at All Souls were a new phenomenon in Anglican circles where preaching had declined since the end of the nineteenth century. Stott was then curate, but the rector being in ill health he carried more than usual responsibility. When the rector had a third coronary, the congregation took the unprecedented step of petitioning the King for the curate to be given the post of rector - so he became rector of All Souls at the unusually early age of 29.
Emphasis within his church was on Biblically-based expository preaching, and on evangelism, especially at the new monthly guest services, with a regular flow of conversions. Follow-up by members of the laity became increasingly vital, especially after the lay Training School was set up in 1961. Above all, the church had confidence in God. As Stott wrote, "Ultimately evangelism is not technique. It is the Lord of the Church who reserves to Himself His sovereign right to add to His Church. We need to humble ourselves before God and seek His face. Then, if we are expectant in faith He will add to His Church, not from mission to mission or even month to month but daily, such as are being saved."
Stott exhibited not only a strong emphasis on preaching and evangelism, but a genuine social concern for the poor and underprivileged. As Stott has painted out on many occasions, social action can both lead to evangelism and stem from it. James shows that good works are "an indispensable evidence of salvation", and 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 demonstrate that those who have abundance should help those who do not. Those who have been evangelised - and born again - will thus naturally have a compassion for the poor and wish to do something about their plight.
In addition, social action can be a bridge to evangelism, opening otherwise closed doors. Evangelism is, of course, the "logical priority" - people cannot have Christian compassion for the underprivileged unless they become Christians in the first place. Furthermore, "evangelism relates to people's eternal destiny ... Christians are doing what no one else can do." So Christians can act in two ways - in the unique work of spreading the Gospel and in the shared task of social action, carried out an a different base from the non-Christian one.

Glenn Miller, acting President & CEO of the Canadian Urban Institute, is pleased to announce that the winner of this year's Jane Jacobs Lifetime Achievement Award is William "Bill" Teron, who is well known in Eastern Ontario and beyond as the "Father of Kanata," a greenbelt satellite city now amalgamated into the City of Ottawa.
Mr. Teron will receive the award on Monday, June 17th at the CUI's annual Urban Leadership Awards luncheon, to be held at the Westin Ottawa in Ottawa, ON.
Kanata in Ottawa. In 1971, Mr. Teron affected the future of Toronto as the originator of the urban park waterfront concept and the provider of the land that became Harbourfront. He is also hard at work as a private citizen encouraging continued vitalization of Kanata's Technology Park to reflect the importance of Kanata as the Silicon Valley of the North.
Mr. Teron shares a passion for activism, arguing for and providing innovative solutions for replacing Toronto's Gardiner Expressway and covering the Peripherique expressway in downtown Paris to join the Bois de Boulogne public park to the centre of the city.
Bill Teron's commitment to development dates back more than 50 years. In the 1960s, he designed the Greenbelt City of Kanata. His company designed and built Kanata's first residential community of Beaverbrook and provided the sites for the early occupants of its Technology Park. Beaverbrook's garden city concept received an award from the Canadian Housing Design Council for its comprehensive treatment of embracing nature as the prime architecture.
In 1970, Bill Teron's decision to turn over derelict industrial lands in Toronto to the federal government at cost in return for a commitment to create a public park inspired the 1972 announcement of Harbourfront by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau – a decision that had a major impact on the city.
From 1973 to 1979, Mr. Teron accepted the full time "tour of duty" position as Chairman and President of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. During his term, he introduced policies and programs for non-profit, co-op, rural and native housing and inner city redevelopment. In addition, the Assisted Home Ownership Program had a major impact on housing production in Canada, resulting in the largest housing production in the history of Canada in any one, five or ten year period.
In 1976, Mr. Teron took on the additional role as Deputy Minister of the Ministry of State for Urban Affairs. Although the Ministry closed in 1979 as a result of federal-provincial constitutional discussions, its final years under Teron's directionsaw CMHC and Urban Affairs expand their roles as a project partner in numerous large-scale urban projects, including the re-development of Granville Island in Vancouver. During that same period Mr. Teron was the head of mission at the United Nation's Habitat Conference in Vancouver, which directly led to Mr. Teron's future work internationally.
Upon his return to the private sector, Mr. Teron led the research and development of new building technology to improve the cost efficiency and quality of residential and commercial development. This technology has subsequently been used to build millions of square feet of buildings in North America and internationally. Mr. Teron continues to be a full time member of the family business.
Mr. Teron has served on the Board of Governors of Carleton University and as a Trustee of Pearson College and in both cases acted as the chair of their building committees. He has also served as a founding trustee of the National Arts Center and as a trustee of the National Gallery of Canada Foundation, as a Director of the Canadian Housing Design Council and the Canadian Council on Urban and Regional Research.
Mr. Teron was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1983 and is a recipient of the Silver, Gold and Diamond Queen's Jubilees medals. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and an Honorary Member of the Ontario Association of Architects.
Mr. Teron established The William and Jean Teron Foundation with a priority to provide Teron Scholar design awards at Carleton University's School of Architecture and Urbanism and its School of Industrial Design to recognize excellence in design.
The winners of the 5 category awards will be announced in late March and the awards ceremony to honour this year's exceptional urban leaders will be held on Monday June 17th from 11:30am – 2:30pm at the Westin Ottawa. Join the CUI and our sponsors for cocktails and networking at this central downtown location before the awards presentation to honour all the 2013 award recipients.
The Jane Jacobs Lifetime Achievement Award is given to a person who has made an extraordinary contribution to the public realm, over many years and in more than one field, thereby gaining reputation and acclaim for their vision, passion, and impact.It is the capstone award of the Urban Leadership Awards program, which has been paying tribute to individuals, groups and organizations that have made a profound and lasting impact on the quality of life in Canada's cities and urban regions. The awards program is also a fundraiser for the Institute in support of our internship program, dedicated to providing undergraduate scholars with practical work experience.
The CUI is Canada's leading applied urban policy institute with a mission to identify, develop and deliver policy and planning solutions to enable urban regions to thrive and prosper. The Institute's work is dedicated to building strong communities and equitable, sustainable and competitive urban regions.

Wheat production in Kieni East is described with particular reference to rainfall, water availability, tillage operations, choice of cv., harvesting and disposal of the crop, and economics.
This study shows how wheat farmers respond to price incentives in Trans-Nzoia, Uasin-Gishu, Nakuru, Narok and Nyandarua districts of Kenya. The prices are the annual and one-year lagged prices of wheat and other competing enterprises in each district The Nerlovian partial adjustment model is used to analyse the data by district. The calculated price elasticities indicate that farmers in these districts, except Narok, have high positive response to annually announced wheat prices. Some policy implications are drawn from the analysis.

What parents should (and should not) do at their child's sporting events
Watching your son or daughter in a bases-loaded, two-out-situation in the seventh inning can be a high-blood-pressure experience for any parent.
What parents should (and should not) do at their child's sporting events Watching your son or daughter in a bases-loaded, two-out-situation in the seventh inning can be a high-blood-pressure experience for any parent. Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/05/08/what-parents-should-and-should-not-do-their-childs-sports-games/1101446001/
Greg Mattura, North Jersey Record Published 5:01 a.m. ET May 8, 2019 | Updated 10:32 a.m. ET May 13, 2019
Tim and Dolores Roessler can't sit still as they watch their two daughters compete for the Indian Hills softball team.
The Roesslers sit together for an inning, then the next inning they go their separate ways. They're on the hill that overlooks the Braves' field, then behind the fence in the outfield. They're constantly changing seats in the stands at road games.
Being on the move helps them deal with the tension of watching Meghan, a senior third baseman and outfielder, and Julia, a sophomore pitcher, compete.
"We're like nomads and we navigate around the game," Dolores said.

Striking out, missing the key shot, dropping the touchdown pass – making that big mistake – can transform caring parents into angry fans who lash out at coaches, officials, and, worst of all, their kids. That's an even bigger mistake.
"I tell people, 'You can't challenge anyone one-on-one in front of people," said Frank Noppenberger, executive director of the Greater Middlesex Conference and a former boys basketball coach and athletic director at East Brunswick. "You are creating a situation that's never going to work."
Yelling only serves as a distraction and is "the worst thing you can do," said Dr. Sarah Carson Sackett, a member of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology.
"And there's a good chance that all you're doing is serving as an embarrassment, just because nobody wants to be the kid whose parent is screaming," Carson Sackett said.

When parents get emotional
Emotional parents are one reason the NJSIAA, the state's governing athletic organization, instructs public address announcers to read the "Sportsmanship Bias Statement" before and during events.
It reminds spectators that inappropriate behavior "could subject the violator to ejection, and may result in penalties being assessed against your team."
Noppenberger runs certification classes for new coaches in the Garden State and says one of the most commonly discussed topics is how to handle parents. He also teaches separate workshops on how to deal with parents.

He sees a lot of raised hands at the certification classes, followed by questions such as "How do you deal with parents? How do you deal with parents that are yelling at the game? How do you deal with parents that are unhappy?'"
Coaches should never raise their voices to a parent, Noppenberger and veteran coaches say, because it will just make a bad situation even worse. If necessary, ask them to wait 24 hours – when cooler heads can prevail – before having a talk.
"The first thing I've learned, through most other people, is most parents, if they're acting out, it's because they love their child," said Noppenberger, who admits he once opened his mouth at his child's youth game and never did it again after his kid and wife gave him a stern look. "Remember, if you're not going to be an advocate for your child, who is?
"So when I talk to the coaches at the certification courses, or to the experienced coaches or new ADs at the workshops, I say, 'You can't get angry if a parent wants to talk to you about their son or daughter.'"
Carson Sackett said including the player in a conversation between coach and parent also can be beneficial.
"If the coach is going to act as an ally, there's always the opportunity to offer to have the conversation together as a unit," she said.
Dealing with players of upset parents
Veteran coaches say providing encouragement is the prudent way to deal with players who have drawn a parent's ire after making a mental mistake or bad play.
"The parent is going to say what the parent is going to say," said Joe Leicht, who coaches softball at Indian Hills and boys basketball at Wayne Valley. "And in a way, you can be the buffer, if it's one of those type of parents. You can be a little bit more positive, and sometimes a little kick in the butt, but you have to be the buffer."
When players make a mistake, they'll often look over at their coach or parent. Sometimes a simple look back is all they need, Leicht said.

"I have to make a point of being much more positive with that kid when they come in the dugout, or after the inning, or whatever," River Dell baseball coach Brandon Flanagan said. "Just say, 'Hey, listen, I know you're working hard,' and 'Maybe you didn't do that right,' or 'That's not what we practiced, but I understand that you're working hard.' And just let them know that you see the little stuff."
Parents dealing with frustration
It's human for parents to feel anxiety as their child steps into the spotlight in a win-or-lose situation. Imagine the stress if you had to watch your child answer questions in a packed classroom with students and parents cheering and jeering?
So what can parents do to lessen that anxiety? For starters, unless you're crammed into a tight gymnasium, take a little stroll to burn off some of the nervous energy. Say hello to the parents of the other players on the team. Anything that prevents a potential blow-up.
"Take a walk, take a breath, if you need it," said Carson Sackett, who lives in Virginia, teaches at James Madison University and has two sons. "Is it worth it to start screaming? It's taking a pause, physically removing yourself for a second if you need to, until you feel your blood pressure go back down."
Tim and Dolores Roessler, who attend about 90 percent of their daughters' games, deal with parental stress by changing locations at the field and chatting with parents.

"I'm very much nomadic and a karma person," said Tim, who played football at rival Ramapo. "So I'll sit in different spots depending on how the game is going, and I'll talk to different people."
"There's a social aspect," said Dolores, who played softball for Indian Hills. "You want to make sure you touch base with everybody who's out there, coming and going, and say 'Hi.' It's always nice to go over and say hi to the people you haven't seen in a few weeks."
Still, there are anxious moments. Like when Indian Hills held a 1-0 lead late in a game, Julia was pitching and Meghan was later at the plate with two outs and the bases loaded. Tim yelled, "C'mon, Six, do it for your sister – help her out a little bit!" (Meghan drove in two runs.)
"Any parent of a pitcher will tell you that having a child who's a pitcher is a completely different experience than any other position," Tim said.
Yes, parents are wanted
Most players want parents to attend their games. But they want them cheering not yelling, and supporting not exhorting. Meghan and Julia appreciate their parents being there.
"It feels really good, because you know that no matter who's there, you're going to have one person on your side always," Meghan said. "Even though they're going to be the first person to tell you when you messed up in the game, they're the first person to say you also you did great in the game. It's really good to have them in the stands all the time."
"I feel like when they're there, I always strive to do better, and I always end up doing better, because I have the mentality that they're there for me," Julia said. "And that even though, as Meghan said, they will be the first ones to tell me that I did something wrong, they'll also be the first ones to say, 'You had such a great game, and I'm so proud of you.'"

It's International Women's Day and the Twittersphere is alive with noise, a global virtual pulse is sounding, at once celebratory and sobering as the challenge of establishing equality remains a pressing, urgent need. Today is both a marker of a redressing of the past and an imagining of a hopeful future; a vision of a future where gender equality is the norm. As the global community comes together and speaks, it feels like a relevant moment to look afresh at how, as women, we establish and communicate vision, and the opportunity for this vital communication to lead to powerful shifts in our lives. I wonder then - what is the role of women in imagining and voicing our version of the future? Can we imagine or identify ourselves as having 'vision', and what are our perceptions of the barriers to having or expressing our individual vision?
Working in Innovation, I find the gulf between expression of ideas, thoughts, dreams, and how they are actually manifested as tangible 'things', fascinating. The idea of communicating a compelling vision to encourage others to get on board and support it, is of course, central to getting the idea from abstract to real territory, but ideas can fall short of actuality at any point in the journey; if that idea, no matter how strong, is never communicated, it will never see the light of day. In the context of bringing ideas to life through communication, I am interested in how women perceive the particular challenges of having and voicing vision given some of the specific conditioning we may have grown up with, and the assumptions we may be sub-consciously be making about our own capacity to be capable of articulating vision.
We all have our own inner or outer role models and inspirations when it comes to women we perceive has having or embodying vision. Shami Chakrabarti, of Human Rights group, Liberty comes immediately to mind for me. Her fierce leadership, steadfast belief in her mission and passion in communicating her beliefs, make her a remarkable leader and visionary for change and someone who makes me somehow feel more alive just by hearing her speak. A barrister for the Home Office, she joined Liberty the day before the 9/11 attacks putting herself right at the centre of the debate on protecting civil liberties and has since led the way in tirelessly campaigning for human rights.
Chakrabarti is just one of countless courageous female leaders of spirit and determination. Yet despite all the progress made in ground-breaking, selfless acts of vision and innovation which women have led in the face of wide-spread cultural, political and social inequality for generations, 'vision' is still not a word which women are widely associated with or celebrated for. It's a sign of the challenge that still remains,that of all the words used to describe the millions of passionate, trail-blazing, futuristic, progressive achievements of women worldwide, women are still not associated with being 'activators' or 'envisioners' of change to the same degree as men in similar roles of influence. Why is this when women have been actively leading, imagining, defining, indeed 'visioning' their futures for eons? Is it that, or that women are not forthcoming enough in challenging the conditioning they are subject to, to establish themselves more visibly as being visionary in behaviour or is it even more complex; a result of pervasive social conditioning which tells us that women with vision are the exception, and not the rule?
'Unusual competence in discernment or perception; intelligent foresight' is one succinct dictionary definition of 'vision' I came across, a description which implies acute intuition, wisdom and an ability to hone instincts to make accurate predictions is at the heart; it implies a sense of unwavering belief, a certainty. Reading this, I am reminded of the Harvard Business Review article I read recently, 'Women and the Vision Thing', where the author highlights the issues of women in certain business contexts, who lacking a conviction of their ideas, fail to actively sell them, due to the fear of not being seen to be accurate or of being wrong. As vision demands a clear communication, and not simply a steadfast belief of an idea, it's not unimaginable to consider women might feel a strong sense of inhibition in certain pressurised business and social environments, to rise to the putting the idea out there part of the process. Understandable, given the bias both men and women can hold towards seeing men and not women as leaders, and the huge inequality still seen in the lack of women in positions of senior leadership across industries worldwide. In this context, it would be no surprise that many great female visions could fall down at this crucial communication hurdle due to a perceived sense of judgment or lack of safety.
It's interesting that Whitbread sees Jebb, as in essence, uninhibited in both her approach and realisation of her vision. I wonder, given the inevitable pressures and inequalities of her time, how this 'modernity' of vision manifested itself, and how, it resulted in a powerful legacy and realisation for Save the Children that is so profound and long lasting?
I'm intrigued by these examples of 'vision made real' and how a combination of passion with a capability to voice that aspiration, belief or idea is so fundamental to the process of being seen to be a person of vision regardless of context or obstacles. In the case of Jebb, maybe Save the Children would never have been born, had the articulation of her far-reaching vision not been voiced so clearly and with such ambition. What is clear, is for vision to be impactful, it needs to be articulated. Without that, our most dynamic and differentiated visions of the future may run the risk of amounting only to fleeting aspirations, thought but not heard.

Tendai Ndoro of Ajax CT during the Absa Premiership match between Ajax Cape Town and Orlando Pirates at Cape Town Stadium on January 31, 2018 in Cape Town.
The Premier Soccer League's disciplinary committee will sit on Thursday to hear the protests by Polokwane City and Orlando Pirates over the fielding of Tendai Ndoro by Ajax Cape Town against them.
Ndoro had been cleared by the PSL's dispute resolution chamber following issues over his eligibility' relating to Fifa rules stating a player cannot be fielded for three clubs in a season' on January 31.
Ndoro subsequently started for Ajax in their 3-0 shock of Pirates at Cape Town Stadium on January 31' and then again in the Urban Warriors' 1-1 away draw against Polokwane on February 4.
However the PSL has appealed its own DRC decision' prompting Polokwane and Pirates to protest.
"The Premier Soccer League Disciplinary Committee will sit next week' on 15 February 2018 for the two Protests by Polokwane City FC and Orlando Pirates FC against Ajax Cape Town FC'" the PSL said in a statement.
Pirates and Polokwane would have lodged protests in anticipation of the PSL appeal' which has been lodged with the SA Football Association for arbitration' going against Ajax.
If they had not protested on the day of the match the clubs would have no recourse for points to be awarded to them should the PSL DRC's original decision be reversed.
This appears to make it pressing that the PSL's case at Safa be heard speedily' as Polokwane and Pirates' DC protests would appear to hinge on the outcome of that case.
However Safa legal officer Tebogo Motlanthe said it was unlikely he would be able to provide a date for the PSL appeal before Thursday.
"I will start to look at the arbitration on Monday'" Motlanthe said.
The PSL said a DC against Bidvest Wits COO Jonathan Schloss' in relation to comments made towards Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela following a match at FNB Stadium on September 16 would also be heard next Friday (September 16).

F.D. Roosevelt State Park is a 9,049 acres (36.62 km2) Georgia state park located near Pine Mountain and Warm Springs. The park is named for former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who sought a treatment for his paralytic illness in nearby Warm Springs at the Little White House. The western portion of the park, formerly named Pine Mountain State Park, was named a National Historic Landmark in 1997. F.D. Roosevelt State Park is Georgia's largest state park.[3]
Several structures in the park were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the Great Depression, including a stone swimming pool and Roosevelt's favorite picnic spot at Dowdell's Knob, overlooking the valley below. President Roosevelt would take polio patients suffering from depression along on picnics at Dowdell's Knob.[4]

The region containing the modern-day park was inhabited by the Creek Nation until ceded under the Treaties of 1825 and 1826, which granted the territories between the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers to the State of Georgia. An influx of settlers established the town of Kings Gap, named after King's Trading Post located near the modern-day Liberty Bell Pool. The town eventually vanished by the 20th century.[5]
In 1924, Franklin Delano Roosevelt first visited the warm springs located near the towns of Warm Springs and Bullochville. He came to the springs seeking relief from the symptoms of the paralytic illness he had contracted some years earlier.[5] In 1927, Roosevelt and others established the Warm Springs Foundation, later known as the Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, which established therapeutic programs utilizing the area's mineral springs. Since then, the Institute has developed into a complex of facilities helping those with disabilities.
Just prior to being elected president of the United States in 1932, Roosevelt built a residence nearby which would come to be known as the Little White House. After his election to the presidency, he spearheaded the establishment of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). It was this organization which, in 1935, established a camp near the modern-day park entrance on Highway 354. From this camp, the young men of the CCC constructed much of the present state park, including the Liberty Bell Pool, the Roosevelt Lodge, several cabins, the 15-acre (61,000 m2) Lake Delanor and its companion, the 25-acre (100,000 m2) Lake Franklin.[5] Because of the well-preserved CCC design, layout, and buildings of the western half of the park, and for its association with Roosevelt, that area was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1997.[1]
Geology and geography[edit]
F.D. Roosevelt State Park is Georgia's largest state park.[3] The park is located on the Pine Mountain Ridge, which is Georgia's southernmost mountainous area (and the southernmost mountainous area in the United States east of the Mississippi River). The Pine Mountain Ridge, which extends into Alabama, is composed of quartzite rock formations.[6] It is geologically a feature of the Piedmont Plateau, not the Appalachian Mountains farther north.
Dowdell's Knob is the highest point in F. D. Roosevelt State Park, at 1,395 feet. The knob was named for two pioneer Harris County settlers: Lewis & James Dowdell.[7]
The park contains the 23-mile (37 km) long Pine Mountain Trail, a scenic nature path that winds through both hardwood and pine forests, featuring hickory and several species of oak; forest undergrowth includes buckeye, pawpaw, azalea, blueberry and huckleberry.[3][6] The trail has thirteen primitive back country campsites for backpackers.[6] The Pine Mountain Trail is wholly maintained by the volunteers of the Pine Mountain Trail Association. In addition, the park contains two stocked fishing lakes and a historic trading post. There is a clump of surviving resistant chestnut trees in the park.
Recent events[edit]
On April 12, 2007, the 62nd anniversary of Roosevelt's death, a 1,200-pound bronze statue was unveiled at Dowdell's Knob. The statue depicts Roosevelt sitting on his removable car seat and wearing his leg braces. The statue, commissioned by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, was created by Atlanta sculptor Martin Dawe.[8]
During the 2011 Super Outbreak, an EF2 tornado caused severe damage to the park, especially in the campgrounds. It was estimated that 30% of the structures in one of the park's group campground areas were destroyed.[9][10]

Samsung chief jailed for two-and-a-half years over corruption scandal
Over-50s rush to book holidays as vaccine boosts confidence
Coach and tour operators have seen an unexpected growth in bookings in the last fortnight.
Industry figures call it growing "vaccine confidence" about 2021.
Whilst there is no doubt that the pandemic continues to put huge pressure on lives and the NHS, this is a small amount of sunshine for the travel industry, which has had a tough year.
TUI, the UK's largest tour operator, says 50% of bookings on their website are currently by over-50s.
This was previously a smaller market for them.
National Express's coach holiday businesses say bookings made by those 65 and over have increased by 185% in the last fortnight compared to last year.
"Since the announcement of the vaccine, it's given our customer base, predominantly those over 65, increased confidence to book and have that summer getaway in 2021" says Jit Desai, head of holidays and travel at National Express.
"We launched the brochure for spring-summer 2021 just this weekend gone, and on Monday we took a week's worth of bookings in a day and that's continued so far," says Mr Desai. "What the vaccine does is give certainty and confidence.
"That then allows the customer and ourselves the ability to plan ahead".
The pandemic has been devastating for the travel sector. Tens of thousands of jobs have gone in the UK. Millions of Britons cancelled breaks because the health situation was in flux across the world.
But National Express now points to returning confidence to travel.
"Many we've spoken to have had the first jab. They know in 12 weeks they'll get a second jab. It gives them certainty that they can enjoy and look forward to their 2021 holiday. It is something to look forward to, to being with people, with friends, like minded and from the same generation."
Dawn and Ray – 75 and 78 years old – are from Hampshire and are due to have their first jab soon. They have just booked five UK holidays.
"We are raring to go once we've got that vaccine, we are really looking forward to it – both of us. We are going to Wales, Leicestershire, to York where there is a mystery tour – and to the Cotswolds'", Dawn said.
For Dawn and Ray, it's the ease of coach travel that's appealing, as well as the safety. She adds "they've looked after us so well in the past, the coaches are clean, we'll all wear masks, we all look after each other."
At the moment, 90% of the bookings with National Expresses coach businesses are UK based, so it looks like another good year for the staycation.
"European bookings are lower because of the uncertainty on the continent," says Mr Desai.
"The UK wins because of the lack of need to quarantine. And uncertainty about the moves other governments might make whilst away also creates fear."
It's not just UK breaks that are selling. The UK's largest tour operator TUI, famous for its sun-drenched European beach holidays, says there has also been a change in the last fortnight.
"We're seeing a customer base or age group that wasn't booking before, that is starting to book," says Andrew Flintham the MD of TUI UK. "The over 50s, we assume, is on the back to the vaccine news."
Whilst TUI UK boss acknowledges that "the market is still depressed and it's not where we want it – we are seeing glimmers of hope."
There are also interesting changes emerging in the types of breaks holidaymakers planning to take and the months they're planning to travel.
"People are booking later into the summer, hedging their bets" said Mr Flintham. "More July and August and a lot of demand for September and October.
"People are booking longer holidays, we're seeing more people booking ten or eleven or 14 nights rather than seven. People are maybe catching up on what they've missed."
Holidays with grandma and grandpa?
As TUI analysed its recent booking data, one trend they spotted is the emergence of large, multigenerational group bookings.
"It is family time we've all missed. We can't get away from our own families, but our broader families we can't see, and that's feeding into our choices" Mr Flintham explains.
After such a bad ten months, and TUI cancelling all holidays until the middle of February at the earliest because of the new lockdown, how does the rest of the summer look?
"I think the summer holiday is on" says Mr Flintham, "I think we just need time for people to get that confidence, but yes, we think there will be a good summer this summer".
For those who've watched the paralysis brought upon the travel industry since last winter, a morsel of good news about customers booking again is being celebrated.
"This is fantastic news and to be hugely welcomed by an industry that has been utterly devastated by the pandemic", says Sophie Griffiths, editor of Travel Trade Gazette.
"Ten months into this crisis and the industry has still received zero dedicated support from the government despite being unique as a sector in terms of giving out thousands in refunds while getting next to nothing back in for 2020."

When you deal with trust fund administration, there is a lot that can go wrong. The typical pitfalls are usually related to the fact that the beneficiary of the trust is not the one who made the money that got submitted into the trust as principal, meaning there is no indication that the person receiving the money has the sophistication to adequately manage financial affairs.
The other pitfalls typically relate to traditional agency issues—the person who makes investment selection and distribution decisions for the trust fund (the trustee) is not the same person that is actually receiving the money (the beneficiary) so problems can arise from this disunity of self-interest. The self-interest for the trustee is to keep as much money in the trust fund as is permissible, as most banks and trust fund administrators charge a certain percentage of the assets each year.
Every $100,000 distribution from a trust fund charging 1.50% in management fees means that annual fees decrease by $1,500. Sometimes, this motive can overlap to serve the self-interest of the beneficiary who would otherwise squander the funds, but other times it can hinder the intended use of the trust's assets if the distributions result in surplusage accumulation at the expense of letting a beneficiary maintain a desired lifestyle.
Sometimes, people think these discussions are all just theoretical. To drive home the point of how financial unsophistication can create a deadly cocktail when mixed with traditional agency issues, I'd like to point your attention to an April 2009 court case decided by the Missouri Eastern District Court of Appeals called Klinkerfuss v. Cronin.
In 1995, Erna Strawn set up a trust fund with almost $400,000 in it to be put into two equal shares for her daughters Elaine Klinkerfuss and Delores Cronin. Upon her death, the trust was to be administered by Delores' son, William who worked in the finance industry. This created a problem from inception, as the trustee William Cronin could have an inherent bias in favor of his mom should any dispute arise between the two beneficiaries.
Erna Strawn considered this a risk worth talking—deeming that the advantages of having someone familiar administer the trust outweighed any bias issues in the event of beneficiary disputes with the other. At the time, it seemed like a reasonable calculation on Erna's behalf, as the trust contained identical assets for both beneficiaries and the terms of the trust were set to deliver three separate distributions after Erna's death and the trust would be dissolved after the final distribution ten years after Erna's death.
She died in 1999. The plan was for Elaine and Delores to each get around $70,000 in 2001, 2004, and 2009. With a little bit of growth during the years between payments, maybe the final distributions would have been closer to the $85,000-$100,000 range. Pretty straightforward, not a lot of seeming room for error.
After Erna died in 1999, Elaine got the idea in her head that the trust fund was keeping her rightful money from her, and she told William that she wanted to fire him and his bank as trustee and she wanted to receive her full $200,000 outright. We don't publicly know what privately motivated William in his response, but he sent Elaine a letter correctly pointing out that he was obligated to follow the terms of the trust instrument and he would not be discharging his duties properly if he ignored the express terms of the trust fund that called for three distributions spaced out after Erna's death.
Elaine decided to sue to have William removed as trustee and to have the trustee broken up in her favor. This case went to trial, and Elaine properly lost the case because the Missouri trial court held that the express terms of a trust fund cannot be ignored in favor of a beneficiary's personal distribution preferences.
She had a really weak legal argument, and she lost. Nothing worth talking about there.
But here is the part I want to call to your attention. William Cronin and his mother Delores filed a motion arguing that the attorney's fees to defend the action should have been paid out exclusively from Elaine's share of the trust.
There are two parts of the analysis here: First, who usually pays for the cost of litigation related to the administration of the trust? The trust fund does.
Secondly, when does one party have to bear the entire cost of litigation exclusively from their beneficiary share of the trust fund? Missouri, like most states, has a statute stating that a judge may do so when "justice so requires" which the Klinkerfuss decision defined as when one party acts selfishly to cause injury to another beneficiary.
This is why you should be extremely, extremely, extremely hesitant to ever get involved with litigation involving a trust fund that you stand to benefit from. The trustee is authorized by law to bill all of their expenses to the trust itself. And if your claim is truly meritless, then it might come exclusively from your own share of the trust.
In Elaine's case, she had already received her first $70,000 distribution at the time this went to trial. She had about $140,000 or so remaining in the trust. But the entire legal fees—for both herself and the trustee—totaled $161,728.95 from three St. Louis law firms. And the court found that her entire share of the was exhausted, and they ruled that she would be personally liable to pay the remaining $21,000 to the lawyers.
The Court went on to hold: "The value of the trust at Erna Strawn's death was $425,181, and the trust has incurred $244,524.09 in attorneys' fees and expenses, including amounts not yet awarded, in defending against the beneficiary's vexatious litigation. The attorneys' fees and expenses already awarded and appealed here have exhausted, and in fact exceeded, the beneficiary's share of the trust that remained after payment of the beneficiaries' first distribution, trustee fees, and reasonable and necessary administrative fees and expenses. Had the beneficiary allowed the trust to proceed without litigation, she would have received her second distributive share in July 2004, and she would receive her final distributive share in July 2009.
Because of the beneficiary's actions, the trustee was forced to defend the trust and its administration against meritless claims, which the beneficiary pursued for selfish reasons. The trustee has gone through two extended processes to obtain attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in defending the trust against the claims of a single beneficiary and is now defending against that single beneficiary's third appeal in this relentless and vexatious litigation. In her brief and at oral argument, the beneficiary even raised the prospect of another suit against the trustee in an effort to compel a distribution to her from the trust, a request previously rejected by the trial court. And despite the findings and conclusions that are clearly the law of the case, the beneficiary has continued, both at the remand hearing on attorneys' fees and here on appeal, to seek their relitigation.
Elaine's actions turned hundreds of thousands of dollars in wealth she could have received into a $20,000+ bill that she had to personally pay. While she deserved to lose, I understand how someone can get a certain thought stuck in their head, and then pursue it incrementally—no individual step seems that extreme compared to the last one, but when you look back upon the event cumulatively, you wonder how you could have made such a grave error. Ill-advised, just like money, can compound.
(1) Be patient. Even if she won her appeal, this case didn't resolve itself in court until 2009. At that point, she would have received all of her distributions anyway. Litigation over the timeliness of an action carries a high probability of costing you more than just waiting the event out.
(2) Trustees are quite good at billing trust funds for litigation and other administrative costs. It's not a cost borne by the bank. If you sue a trust, you are basically suing yourself. Any desire a trustee has to keep a trust fund balance high is remote compared to the immediate, tangible risk of being accused of breaching a fiduciary duty. Good lawyers will get hired, and you'll have to pay for it one way or the other.
(3) I think Erna made a mistake by naming William the trustee because of his natural disposition to favor his mother over his aunt. There are very few financial matter that are so simple and straightforward that the risk of litigation can be a nullity. I understand why Erna didn't use separate trusts because the principal was only $400,000+ and the administrative costs of administering two $200,000+ trusts could be unjustifiable, but I suspect this whole thing could have been avoided by finding a truly neutral trustee to administer the payments from the trust fund. At a minimum, a non-interested party may have had more credibility in rejecting Elaine's requests for early disbursements.

В. Верба по-своему переосмысливала образы и мотивы устного народного творчества.

Despite Mercedes putting on a dismal show at the Mexican Grand Prix 2018, Lewis Hamilton's lead was so impregnable that a seventh-place finish was more than enough to see him lift his fifth world title. With Sebastian Vettel failing to win, coming in at second place, the result saw Hamilton being crowned the drivers' championship champion, putting him on second place in the all-time list of individual winners. The race was won by Max Verstappen with a time of 1:38:28.851 with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen getting the rest of the podiums.
Staring well, Hamilton looked set to wrap up his title in style before the race started falling apart for him. From a position of comfort, Mercedes' race started falling apart. After a lightning start in which he leapfrogged race leader Daniel Ricciardo, Hamilton struggled with his tires nearly all race in Mexico to fall behind in the latter stages of the race. The result did not hamper his celebrations though with the title coming home for him on the day.
For Verstappen, the race winner, the start was the key. Despite having to turn his engines off towards the end, his blistering start was enough to see him end the race first.
Mercedes also have the opportunity of wrapping up the constructor title two weeks ahead in the Brazil Grand Prix, the penultimate race of the season.
Hamilton reacting to his firth word title: Yeah, it's a very strange feeling right now. I want to say thank you to all the fans here. I want to say a big thank you to my team. Bono said on the radio it wasn't won here it was won with hard work through a lot of races. I have been with Mercedes since I was 13. To complete this, when Fangio had done it with Mercedes it's an incredible feeling and surreal.
It was a horrible race! I got a great start and was working my way up. I don't know what happened after that. I was trying to bring the car home.

I'm no technological determinist, but neither am I a Luddite. I see technology as a tool rather than an end in itself. But tools must be considered in context—a hammer and a chisel provide a day laborer an expeditious means of breaking up concrete, while in the hands of Michelangelo they become instruments of creative expression. Creating isn't about the tools; the magic is in the way you wield them.
There is an ongoing debate within the nascent digital humanities community that questions whether "digital literacy" (i.e. proficiency with programming and coding) is a fundamental requirement for membership in the club. It's a sort of right brain vs. left brain or art vs. science argument.
One camp believes this is a given. Its proponents migrated to the humanities from a computer science background and are therefore predisposed to think computers (and their programs) are the essential core element of any DH project. For them, you can't be a serious digital humanist if you don't code.
The other side of this tug o' war comprises humanities scholars who are learning how to utilize computers to expand their creative horizons; they are humanists first and geeks-in-training second. They tend to view the computer as a tool, a means to an end, and feel that the ability to engage with those more at home with building digital tools is crucial to the collaborative nature of the enterprise.
Of course, there is also a growing cadre of folks who are quite comfortably ensconced in the space between. So in a way, it's really just a matter of perspective—yin and yang.
As any artisan—or digital humanist—will tell you, good tools are not only essential to producing good art, they are a joy to work with. Hence, a certain level of knowledge of one's tools is a very important element of the creative process. But without that other key ingredient, imagination, technology is little more than a sophisticated means of breaking up concrete.


Following a long two week plus layoff thanks to Euro 2016 qualifying matches, the English Premier League is set to make its return this weekend.
After the first eleven games of the season, Chelsea currently sits at the top of the standings with a record of 9-2-0 (29 points). This is four points ahead of Southampton and a full eight points ahead of Man City.
In short, Chelsea is in danger of running away with the league unless they stumble badly or another team decides to put together a string of victories.
This should be an interesting weekend of action in the English Premier League - it's great to have it back.

EU accession support drops among Moldovans
About 44% of Moldovans prefer closer relations with the EU over the Eurasian Custom Union (ECU) which is supported by 40% suggests the poll presented today at CEPI event in Bratislava. The event in Bratislava came a week after a public debate about the survey and Moldova's integration ambitions in Chisinau featuring Pirkka Tapiola, Head of the EU Delegation in Moldova.
The objective of the survey commissioned by the Slovak Atlantic Commission (SAC) a Central European Policy Institute (CEPI) in co-operation the Independent Journalism Center and the Slovak embassy in Chisinau and supported by the Slovak development aid was to help improve the EU's communication strategy in Moldova.
"As our survey showed, the EU membership remains an attractive option for Moldovans, but it is no longer a default option," says Michal Skala, the Moldova expert from the Slovak Atlantic Commission who works at its Transfer of Know-How programme. According to CEPI's senior fellow Balázs Jarábik, the declared pro-European integration policy of Moldova contrasts with a split within the Moldovan society. The results of the opinion poll show that the support for the country's EU accession falters while the Russia-backed custom union is becoming more and more attractive.

Meet The Gazelle's Track & Field Club Big Boss Nate!!!
We constantly hear about what it takes to be the best: Talent, Focus and Determination. We have visions in our head of what the best look like. But sometimes the best amongst us are not the most popular or well-known…. They are not the most boisterous or highly decorated…. Sometimes they are just quiet and reserved. But don't be fooled by their quiet nature…. the quiet and the reserved are quickly making the right kind of "noise" to get everyone's attention!
What does a True Athlete Look Like? Well you don't have to look too far because he's right here amongst our ranks. Meet Nathan Meraw – Gazelle Gang Long Distance Runner. – You really want to know what a True Athlete looks like?!?!
his time on running. It was then, while still playing Rep Hockey and trying to focus on track at the same time that Nathan decided that he was missing too many crucial track practices. A decision had to be made and Nathan chose his new passion; Track & Field and Cross Country. He dropped rep hockey and replaced it with a hockey select team which would allow Nathan to have more time to focus on Track and Field and Cross Country. Nathan decided that it was best if he dropped down to play on a select team which would hence allow him to have more time to focus on track. Even though Nathan wasn't doing Rep Hockey he was still involved in the 3 times a week Select Hockey on top of running 2-3 times a week. But Nathan didn't stop there, he also joined the Jazz and Concert Bands at school playing the Trombone. This meant an additional 2 early morning bands practices per week. What does this say about Nathan?
Well, if you haven't figured it out yet, Nathan is an individual who gives everything he does his best intentions. He has always had a strong work ethic and has always been well liked by players, friends and teammates as a leader and as a result he has always been either the captain or assistant captain on his hockey teams. Nathan is also no different at Track – always motivating the younger generation of runners and leading his peers with his persistence.
As a student athlete, Nathan's grades only indicates what we already know to be true about him. Nathan takes school seriously and understands the value of hard work in school. His marks, low 90s and high 80s. Nathan also does not shy away from the hard subjects as his main focus is Math and the Sciences. And to get thru all of this, Nathan puts in an average of 2-3 hours of homework each night during the school week. Nathan is dedicated. proactive, organized and knows what it takes to get to where he wants to go. Nathan's goals for his future – He would like to attend University in the field of Biomedical Engineering, Healthy Sciences and/or Forensic Sciences. You would think that with all of this, it would be enough to take up all of Nathan's time…. but no, Nathan also started a part time job to earn some extra money for himself – working 10-15 hours a week. And all of this, Nathan takes in stride (pun!!!) In the words of him mom "Nathan is a role model. He has a level of maturity and responsibility that is astounding. Nathan takes on everything he does with purpose. He is not a quitter and establishes goals for himself".
As an athlete of Track and Field, Nathan is an addict to running. He really has a passion for running that we can all see. Nathan goes running on his own when it's not prescribed by his coaches. He simply runs because he enjoys it and fuels other aspects of his life. Nathan already knows what most of us still haven't realized yet, to be better you have to work harder and smarter.
The most telling moment about Nathan as an athlete came when Nathan didn't qualify to OFSSA in Cross Country. Nathan had already put in all the required training plus more, he was determined that he was going to make it…. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. However, instead of crying and wallowing in defeat, Nathan used the experience and set new goals. He told me he was going to come back stronger and better in 2018. He hasn't stopped but has continued to work hard and set his sights on a new horizon. That is what it takes to be the best, a true Champion. Nathan without the help of anyone else, realized that even in failure there is success…there are opportunities, you may not get to where you want to be today but there is always tomorrow. That's Nathan….
Over the years of getting to know Nathan, while he may come across as quiet when you first meet him, but that is so far from the truth. Nathan has a side to him filled with humour. He once showed up at a Cross Country Practice on Halloween with a Horse Head Mask on his head and started making horse noises….Neeeeigh!!! He didn't just show up with the horse head, he actually wore it during the warm up!!! (See pic) Nathan is also a good friend and so supportive of his teammates. He is well liked in all circles and a source of inspiration for those who see and meet Nate. Nathan already possess the main qualities we look for in great athletes. He is determined, focused, perseveres, learns, is self- motivated, he never misses a practice, he runs with purpose, he has initiative, independence, loyalty and integrity. He may not be the most successful in terms of rankings and placement but this guy already has all the qualities to be successful in the game of life. Nathan has already set himself up for success in anything he takes on. He knows how to achieve it and he goes for it. Each time he steps foot on that track, at a meet, in school or even at work, he is the most dedicated person out there. He won't let others outwork him, he sets the tone and the pace for himself.
From the boy who could barely finish one lap around the track when he started to the man he has become today who can run circles around any of us, we are proud of this Athlete and we honour him with the upmost respect.
Thanks Nathan for inspiring all of us!

Amazon's predatory tactics spread to India
Indian small business owners are mobilising in protest against Amazon's ambitions to expand deeper into Indian markets (Photo by Sanjeev Verma/Hindustan Times via Getty Images).
Business Insider reports that the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), an Indian business lobby group, is planning mass protests against a visit to the country by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Outside big Indian cities, retail is dominated by India's estimated 63m small businesses. These are now mobilising against Amazon's ambitions to expand deeper into Indian markets, saying the $1 trillion internet retail giant has so much money that it will be able to use heavy discounting to drive competitors out of business. CAIT, in its press release, accused Amazon of "cash burning in maintaining predatory pricing and deep discounting, controlling inventory, having preferential seller system and exclusivity of products".
Amazon's activities here seem calculated not so much to buy a position in the marketplace so much as to buy the marketplace itself. That is, to privatise and control access to a trading environment which is at present open (subject to government regulations) to all who wish to trade.
A market fundamentalist might ask: so what? What does it matter if the Indian public retail marketplace is enclosed — that is, replaced by a digital marketplace operated by Amazon or Flipkart for profit? Provided consumers get the goods they want at the right price, who cares?
India's small businesses see this enclosure as an existential threat, fearing the loss of their livelihoods to Amazon's predatory tactics. R. R. Reno's review of Oren Cass' The Once And Future Worker in First Things suggests the longer-term consequences of prioritising the needs of consumers, or the imperative toward growth, over the livelihoods of ordinary people. In America, Cass argues, the policy focus has long been on sustaining consumption and growth at the expense of focusing on work and livelihood.
The upshot has been a tendency toward financial rewards that accrue only to the most successful, with a growing battery of consumption subsidies propping up the stagnating middle and lower orders. In the process solidarity, dignity, meaning, community and other critical values are lost and with them much that gives strength to the American democratic enterprise.
The prospect of small traders uniting to challenge this direction of travel carries an intriguing echo of the growth of unionisation among industrial workers in the nineteenth century. Perhaps they will fail, as the Luddites failed to prevent the mechanisation of weaving. Or perhaps in the digital era we will see traders' unions emerging to defend and promote small business livelihoods, just as trade unions defended the livelihoods of industrial workers in the past.
