  • Sir Winston Churchill – Perspectives on Leadership
    SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL – PERSPECTIVES ON LEADERSHIP “Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential” Sir Winston Churchill We have written on numerous occasions about Sir Winston Churchill and lessons we can acquire from his most impressive life. Whilst we think of Sir Winston Churchill as one of the twentieth century’s most courageous leaders, that was not always the shared thought and opinion of his contemporaries. In fact at the commencement of the 1930’s, Churchill had found himself on the periphery of power, and most of his party colleagues, friends and pundits had written him off as a prospect for leadership. He had twice switched parties, was not trusted within the conservative party and was as a result becoming increasing isolated. It was during this time that Churchill openly warned of Hitler’s militarism and rearmament of Germany, but the British political class thought of Churchill as a warmonger rather than Hitler. Churchill did not shy away from his beliefs and wrote articles and gave many speeches highlighting Hitler’s growing menace and his military and potential European ambitions. He became known as an irritant. The then British Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, tried unsuccessfully to remove Churchill from the parliament. When Hitler and Germany invaded Poland the credibility of many of the British elite was shattered. Peace in our time and the policy of appeasement had utterly failed. Only one man had during this time consistently spoken out about Hitler, warning of probable danger to his own detriment. Churchill had felt tremendous resentment from those within his own party, now he was the person with the credibility to lead Britain in their darkest days.

Easy AdSense by Unreal The Village Community Presbyterian Church in Rancho Santa Fe unveiled its new education building last month during the grand opening of the “Kids Village.” “An old building has been transformed into a fun, welcome space,” said Rev. Jack Baca, senior pastor. Built by ROEL Construction Co., the $675,000 remodel has five classrooms, a workroom and a new nursery. The toddler room includes a child’s-height entrance door and a low, round, view window. The original structure, built in the 1960s, was re-designed by domusstudio architecture to integrate with the church’s recently completed Lilian Rice-style sanctuary. The Kids Village incorporates new energy-efficient windows, lighting and mechanical systems. The Village Community Presbyterian Church began reconstruction in September 2008. The two-story, 25,420- square-foot main sanctuary and administration building was completed in early April. The church also added a new roof to The Village Nursery School and a new playground for children. *** California Chief Justice Ronald George — who is due to retire in January — will be special guest of the Downtown San Diego Partnership at its Oct.

  • January 2013 – Volume Nineteen, Number One GREAT AFRICAN
    January 2013 – Volume Nineteen, Number One EXPEDITION NEWS, now in its 19th year, is the monthly review of significant expeditions, research projects and newsworthy adventures. It is distributed online to media representatives, corporate sponsors, educators, research librarians, explorers, environmentalists, and outdoor enthusiasts. This forum on exploration covers projects that stimulate, motivate and educate. GREAT AFRICAN EXPEDITION ENTERS PHASE TWO Sir Samuel White Baker’s great great grandson David Baker and British filmmaker Jonathan Maguire will join African explorer and anthropologist Julian Monroe Fisher for phase two of The RailRiders 2012-2016 Great African Expedition. Leaving this month, the team will retrace the 1860’s expeditionary route of Sir Samuel White Baker and his wife Lady Florence from Juba throughout South Sudan and Uganda. In February 2012, Julian Monroe Fisher announced an ambitious five-year - nine expedition ethnographical research project deep in the heart of Africa. The objectives of the ongoing project are to compare the 19th century Ethnographic documentation of the African tribal kingdoms gathered during the expeditions of the Victorian age explorers with the realities of 21st century Africa. The project will retrace the African expeditionary routes of the famed Victorian explorers to include Baker, Speke, Grant, Burton, de Brazza, Wissman, Baumann, Park, Cameron, Stanley and Livingstone. By researching the personal letters, diaries and papers from the Victorians during and after their expeditions that are now scattered globally in private collections and museums, Fisher hopes to develop insight into the African cultures that the explorers encountered. They hope to shed light on what changes occurred as a result of colonization and post colonization in some of the most remote corners of Africa.

    June 28, 2007, oc062807.mp3 Roz Savage Page 1 of 22 Jennifer Stock, Roz Savage, Jim Farley _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jennifer Stock: Welcome. This is Jennifer Stock. I'm your host for Ocean Currents and this show is held one Thursday evening a month, every four weeks at 5:30 to 6:30pm and the show is rebroadcast the following Monday at 1pm and on Ocean Currents, we dive into ocean topics talking about ocean science, research, how people use the ocean, and tonight about incredible crossings of the ocean with human power. It's quite an amazing story. So, tonight we're going to be talking with Roz Savage and within weeks, Roz will be launching off the coast of San Francisco to take on the flight of a foraging albatross, but by human power in a rowboat. On the water itself, she uses a 24 foot rowboat. She is attempting to row from San Francisco, California to Hawaii, then on to American Samoa and then on to Australia. She's doing this unsupported in regards to vessel support and solo. Roz is joining me tonight from Canada where she is working at some of the preparations necessary for her to arrive in Hawaii. Thanks, Roz, for joining me tonight on Ocean Currents. Roz Savage: Great to be here. Thank you. Jennifer Stock: So, Roz, your story is so inspiring. I want to give some background for our listeners. You wrote about your previous life as a successful career woman, a marriage, seeming to have what many women want to achieve, but one day while on your daily commute, you wondered if this is what really life was about for you and took on the exercise of writing two versions of your future obituary.
