remember my very first steps into the Orlando Ice Arena, I could feel the cold brisk chill hit my face. I stopped and stared I had never seen such a big rink, there were huge crowds, gorgeous dresses, sparkling medals, and talented skaters everywhere around me. I was in a day dream until I heard my loud family slowly come behind me. When I realized I was in the real world, I quickly noticed that I only had three minutes to put on my skates for practice ice I snapped my skate bag open and…

Ice Skating And that’s how I broke my leg, just kidding, but I bruised it really badly, here’s the story behind that. was December 2014, my sister had discovered the “joy” of ice skating and was obsessed with it. She constantly asked my parents if her and her friends could go ice skating at the arena. I had never gone ice skating before and asked her one day if I could go with her and her friend Lucy. We got in the car to go pick up Lucy with the usual silence the whole ride. When we…

With a clap of her well-manicured hands, Laura announces that the campers are to begin ice skating. Claire and I head to the rental station, where a large cluster of people socialize by, and request for kids size twelve skates. The lady at the counter, who has wild purple hair, a nose ring, and a snake tattoo crawling up her arm, turns around and pulls out a pair of comically yellow ice skates. “Sorry, hon’, that’s the only pair we have,” she drawls in her deep strong southern accent…

seven months ago at an Ice Skating Rink would change my life forever. Meeting him taught me both that I should branch out to meet new people, and that I should watch who I become friends with. The day I went to the Ice Rink, was a chilly one. Cloudy, cold, and just enough to make your nose run. I had on a long black coat with a zip up hoodie and no hat, no gloves, and grey unnamed boots on. I walked past a big dome with clear see through glass and the inside was full of melted ice. I saw tons of…

the freedom and escape that flying may bring. Now, I never learned how to fly, that’s impossible, but there are some things out there that get pretty damn close to that feeling. Where I’m from, almost everyone skated: speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey, they did it all. I grew up watching Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue, and old tapes of Sonja Henie; all of them highly regarded figure skaters. “You always want to run before you learn how to walk” is what my Po-Po had said, and she wasn’t…

I come from a figure skating background. From a very young age, most of my time was spent at the rink. Growing up, I undoubtedly spent more waking hours with my skating coach than with my own mother. This cold damp place was home. It is where I trained, ate, did school, socialized, laughed, cried, and even took the odd nap. It was as familiar as my favourite pair of lucky socks (yes, us figure skaters are very superstitious). I knew the best hiding spots, for when I needed time alone or…

Global Warming, a Reality or a Myth There is a growing concern on the conditions of the Arctic when factoring Global Warming. Most scientists believe the last 50 years of constant temperature changes in the world is due to human activity and the burning of fossil fuels. Many also take in the natural factors, for example, variations in the solar radiation, where major volcanic interactions and eruptions between the ocean and the atmosphere. Many people on earth do not understand the importance of…

The modern production management was what Ice-fili lacked. With plenty well trained managers Nestlé could leverage this advantage to produce relatively high quality ice cream with a lower cost. Using locally supplied component further reduced the cost of production. Its long presence in Russian ice cream market and strong marketing ability generated a strong preference among Russian customers. Its abundant experience on distributing enabled its strong control over the channels and massive…
