Last December we presented our case to the IOC’s Programme Commission and this day in May we shall do so to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg, Russia, along with the other shortlisted sports for the place on the programme of the 2020 Olympic Games. The presentation group will be led by WSF President Ramachandran and features our two world champions Nicol David and Ramy Ashour, whose passion and charisma are sure to impress the IOC President Jacques Rogge and his fourteen IOC Board colleagues. The bid film will be shown – it features the two players and has already been viewed nearly 110,000 times, along with the video giving a snapshot of the 185 countries that play squash (you can see both at http://www.worldsquash.org/ws/?p=10564) – along with a new film, that is being finished featuring innovation, broadcast and presentation. The spoken presentations will be accompanied by over 70 great slides illustrating the points made. What happens next is not confirmed. Originally it was stated that one sport would be recommended for ratification by the full IOC membership but indications now are that a few sports may be put forward for the final vote. That will be made clear on the evening of 29th May and we must hope that we are there for the final decision in Buenos Aires on 8th September.

  • Featuring Fight Night and World Champion Karim Gawad a LITTLE BOUNCE CAN MAKE a BIG DIFFERENCE Water Pipes
    Featuring Fight Night and World Champion Karim Gawad A LITTLE BOUNCE CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE Water pipes. Chimneys. Ledges. They didn’t make for an ideal Racquets court. But it was out of the cramped spaces at Harrow School in England that Squash was born. Rather than play with a ball used in the game of Racquets, students realized that if they punched a hole in the ball, it “squashed” when it hit the wall, diminishing the bounce and distance the ball traveled. A long court was no longer needed. And a whole new game was invented. One that required great skill and stamina. A game that favored finesse over power. The spirit of innovation continues as Squash has evolved beyond the days of Harrow School. Today it’s played in 150 countries and attracts over 20 million players. And more people play Squash at Life Time than anywhere else in the world. “LIFE TIME IS THE MOST INNOVATIVE SQUASH CLUB IN THE COUNTRY” – Kevin Klipstein, U.S. Squash Details matter at Life Time. But the court is just the beginning.

So, what are the categories of track and fi eld? B: As you might expect, there are just three: fi eld events, track events and all-round events. A: Got it. I’m also curious about its history.

  • The Soil Needs Nutrition Too Amanda Lovelady; Global Agribusiness, Nutrilite
    the Soil needs nutrition too amanda lovelady; Global agribusiness, nutrilite LEAFLETpublished by issue 2 / year 2008 We love to know about our own nutritional needs and how we can meet them. At the Nutrilite Farms, we are also concerned about the nutritional needs of our plants, which begins with the health of our soil! There are many essential nutrients plants need. They uptake these nutrients from the air, water, soil, and soil biology. This soil biology includes many organisms, from bacteria to fungi to nematodes (microscopic roundworms). These microorganisms form a food chain, or what scientists call the soil food web. When predatory microbes eat and digest other microbes, they release essential nutrients in a natural way and build soil organic matter. This is one of the most important aspects of maintaining healthy soil. Conventional farming practices add synthetic fertilizers to the soil that destroy the microbial populations. The soil then becomes void of life and dependent on the synthetic fertilizers. Nutrilite farms practice natural, organic plant nutrition, avoiding the use of these synthetic chemicals and instead focusing on building up good soil biology. 2 Take charge of At Nutrilite we are now using compost teas, an your bone health organic agricultural practice in which a liquid is used to extract all of the microorganisms from the 3 compost. This “tea” can then be poured into the SAB meeting soil to ensure soil health. The soil and plants drink recap up this compost tea and, as a result, healthy soil 4 and plants are born! Research and development Trusted Brand Awards is ongoing to ensure that we are making the best Our athletes compost tea possible for our soils.
