The document discusses who is responsible for students' failure in the education system. It argues that blaming only teachers is misguided, as there are many other factors contributing to failures. These include privatization of education, lack of investment in teaching as a profession, focus on testing over learning, lack of parental involvement, and societal devaluing of education. The failures lie with numerous groups, including administrators, management, teachers, students, parents, and society as a whole. Improving the education system requires effort and accountability from all parties rather than blaming only one group such as teachers.

From the roots to the shoots 2010 Malcolm Bell - Off Road Cycling 1SWCTCMTB
This document discusses how to attract different types of cyclists to the South West region of England to boost tourism. It identifies three main groups: pure cyclists who are passionate about cycling, casual cyclists who want easy family-friendly routes, and accidental cyclists who may be tempted by promotions. The region has natural assets like woodlands and rights of way that could support cycling, but more product development is needed to meet changing visitor demands and attract cyclists through specialized and general marketing channels. Developing the cycling industry aligns with rural development goals to create a more active, healthy region that retains more tourism spending locally.
What happens when the digital tools and platforms we make and use for communication and entertainment are hijacked for terrorism, violence against the vulnerable and nefarious transactions? What role do designers and developers play? Are we complicit as creators of these technologies and products? Should we police them or fight back? As Portfolio Lead for Northern Lab, Northern Trust's internal innovation startup focused on client and partner experience, Antonio will share a mix of provocative scenarios torn from today's headlines and compelling stories where activism and technology facilitated peace—and war.
As a call-to-action for designers and developers to engage in projects capable of transformational change, he'll explore the question: How might technology foster new experiences to better accelerate social activism and make the world a smarter, safer place?

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

Editor's Notes
Vast majority of visitors from UK
Tourism crucial in forming opinions – relates to investment, talent attraction, genealogy etc etc
Impinges on almost every other sector – food & drink; forestry; textiles; construction;
Mature – been around a long time
Go-to in times of austerity
O/seas nearly twice as much per trip as English and nearly 4 times as much per trip as Scots
Competition grows from neighbours
New markets tough to access in say China/Russia
Our residents faced with ever growing choice of holiday destination
But….resilient - staycations
7stanes now in excess of 500,000 visitors p.a.
Exactly reflects the picture – dispersed/fragmented/ but highly valued
Public transport/access generally a major issue – unlikely to change
84% of Scottish overnight visits are to 7stanes
Main decision to visit half the impact?
Strength and a weakness that mtb relates to all these generic aims
C 600,000 visitors p.a.

Need to work together
When its no one agencies role, it is easier for each to pull out
But, this is world class
