Happy 47th Birthday Jamaica

Jamaica is 47 years old today. On August 6, 1962, Jamaica became an independent nation, from our friends, the Brits. And it was beautiful. We've had many ups and downs since, but no matter what, Jamaica will continue to be great and revered. This world just would not be the same without Jamaica. God bless Jamaica today and forever. Amen.

Happy Birthday Jamaica

Business To Learn Lessons From Bolt

Everyone everywhere can learn something from Usain Bolt, the fastest human being in the history of the world. These articles are pretty much self-explanatory. First the lead-up articles. Then the event. Then the video. See, very simple.

Business Lessons From A World-Class Athlete
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is the fastest man in human history after setting three world records at the Beijing Olympics last year. Reaching the heights that Bolt attained required motivation, critical thinking and focus. Even more important, it required turning early setbacks into advantages, turning weaknesses into strengths and developing the motivation required of a world champion. These three attributes are lessons that can apply to those working in business.

Business To Learn Lessons From Bolt
Lausanne, Switzerland – On Monday 6 July Usain Bolt will be on the campus of IMD, the leading global business school based in Lausanne for a unique event in which he will discuss motivation and how one sustains it through both failures and eventual victory with the business audience in attendance.

The event is intended to enable business leaders to apply lessons in their respective careers from a world-class athlete such as Usain Bolt.

Business Leaders Gain Insights From Bolt And Coach Mills
Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, the fastest man on earth, and his coach Glen Mills shared the reasons behind their success with a business audience at a special IMD event. At the Beijing Olympics last summer, Bolt put on three exhilarating sprint performances, winning gold medals and establishing world records in the 100m, 200m and 4x100 relay. Arriving at the summit of any field or profession requires not only talent and luck, but also motivation. The event enabled the business audience in attendance to apply the principles of success from an Olympic champion.

Jamaican Canadian Association’s Late Night With Usain Bolt

On June 9, 2009, Usain Bolt, world’s fastest human being, passed through Toronto, Canada, to attend a reception in his honor, dubbed Late Night With Usain. This event was hosted by the Jamaican Canadian Association. Videos of Bolt’s world record races, from the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, were played to an audience who watched in awe and behaved like they were seeing the races for the very first time. Bolt arrived to a heroes welcome. He later showed off his dancing skills, by demonstrating the ‘gully creeper’ (dance). Bolt was then asked to be one of the judges in a three-judge panel for a gully creeper dance contest, with contestants coming from the audience. It was an awesome event.

Special thanks to Marcia Dunkley, Toronto, Canada, who reported on this story and provided the photographs.

AFUWI Gives US40,000 for UWI Scholarship

The American Foundation for the University of the West Indies (AFUWI) has provided USD40,000 towards scholarships at the University of the West Indies (UWI), for the coming academic year. The money represents proceeds from the AFUWI Legacy Awards 2009 Gala, the organization’s premier fund-raising event which is hosted in New York each January.

AFUWI, a non profit Foundation, which over the past decade has provided scholarships and grants and funded special projects to foster the development of The UWI, has since 1998, recognized individuals and organizations “linked to the Caribbean who have made exceptional contributions to the world around them.”

Mr. Michael Flanigan, AFUWI Chairman, presented the scholarship cheque on behalf of AFUWI to UWI Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nigel Harris on May 01,2009

Noting that each year, hundreds of worthy applicants apply for scholarships at the UWI, Prof. Harris praised the AFUWI for “widening the window of opportunity for many deserving scholars.” Prof. Harris said that it was with the cooperation of organizations like AFUWI and generous corporate donors that the UWI can ensure those in challenging circumstances get a tertiary education.

Mr. Flanigan noted that the AFUWI has regularly facilitated donations and scholarships from individuals and corporations overseas for the UWI and its students, and last year presented 30 scholarships valued at over USD 130,000 to individual UWI students for tuition and books.

The AFUWI, he said, “is committed to the development of the Caribbean region and sees the University of the West Indies as central to achieving this.”
