Pastor Bill Winston Redeemed from Poverty

Biography: William (Bill) S. Winston is a visionary leader with an insightful awareness of what people need to succeed and how he can empower them for success. Born in Tuskegee, Alabama, Bill credits the strong community and spiritual influences that surrounded him while growing up for the bold determination to be successful and to help others succeed. As a young boy, he was influenced by the courageous examples and historic aviation accomplishments of the Tuskegee Airmen. As a young man, he attended the internationally known Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) where the spirit of invention and leadership permeated the environment. After graduating from Tuskegee Institute, Bill served for six years as a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force, where he received numerous awards and medals for his superior flying skills. His extraordinary achievement in aerial flight earned him The Distinguished Flying Cross, The Air Medal for performance in combat, and Squadron Top Gun Pilot competitions.

The Roots of Shaklee & Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Founder

Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. came out of the heart of America, born in 1894 on a farm in Carlisle, Iowa. He gave America his heart, his mind and a philosophy that still inspires the lives of millions. Through his philosophy and the company he started, he changed the lives, the health, the fortunes of people throughout the world. Using the knowledge he gathered from a lifetime of studying the importance of nutrition in building health, Dr. Shaklee founded Shaklee Products in 1956 with his sons Forrest, Jr., and Raleigh to produce and sell nutritional supplements. The company sales plan was firmly based on the Golden Rule and on Dr. Shaklee’s philosophy of “Thoughtsmanship.” The direction of medicine after WWII had begun to shift from treating and curing disease toward health maintenance, a trend that continues today. Recognition of the importance of nutrition in good health had been recognized more clearly during this time, and nutrition was becoming a more scientific discipline. In this atmosphere this tiny nutritional supplements company took its first steps. From its modest beginnings in 1956, through it’s explosive growth during the 1970′s, to present day, the corporation remains guided by Dr. Shaklee’s founding philosophy of the Golden Rule and In Harmony with Nature®. Dr. Shaklee collected many personal honors in his career, including special recognition from the California Secretary of State. In 1975, he stepped down from his position as President and Chairman of the

IRRI Pioneer Interviews–Challenges for IRRI: Bart Duff

Bart Duff, IRRI agricultural economist, 1970-90; currently operates, with wife Paz Aurora, an NGO, Poor No More, Inc., on the Philippine island of Palawan I believe the greatest challenge for the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org ) will be to continuously revise and re-invent itself to more meaningfully anticipate and address contemporary issues while optimizing its limited resources. The resources IRRI now has are smaller than when I left the Institute in 1990. And yet, the need for rice research is no less now than it was three decades earlier. The complexity and sophistication of IRRIs research today are awesome, but in many instances simply addressing old problems with new tools. For example, IRRIs pioneering work in genome mapping and gene manipulation continues to focus on yield, disease, and environmental constraints, but is now able to overcome problems considered unsolvable 25 years ago. Ill always admire IRRI for maintaining its position on the frontier of rice research using a combination of visionary leadership, superb science, a dedicated staff and the foresight to forgo research better done in collaboration with national programs. Ive been gone for nearly 20 years, but feel very proud and gratified when I learn of IRRIs unique initiatives to incorporate better nutrition and grain quality into the rice grain and improve the inherent resistance of the rice plant to diseases and insects. Are we making progress? Yes, definitely. But with a
