Jessica Hardy is one of the world's greatest athletes. She's set world records and broken her own records time and time again. Then came the trial of a lifetime when she failed a drug test and was banned from Olympic competition. The rumors swarmed all around her. Critics who felt she had come too far, too fast, touted the findings as proof of their doubts. She was mocked and demeaned by the media. The only thing missing was Jessica's side of the story. Jessica set out on a seemingly impossible mission to prove her innocence and to regain her rightful status as a respected World Champion. The task was daunting and the odds were stacked against her. This book covers her journey from trials to triumph, from wounds to wisdom, and from setbacks to comebacks. You know her name, but you won't know her true story until you've read this book.

Female Olympian and Paralympian Events is a groundbreaking book that examines women’s sports in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which have long been underappreciated and under-analyzed. The book begins with a brief background on women’s participation in the Olympic Games and their role relative to the International Olympic Committee, then introduces the underlying Gendered Critical Discourse Analysis theory used throughout the book’s analysis before delving into a literature review of female Olympians and Paralympians’ events. It includes a listing of noteworthy “firsts” in the field, followed by individual discussions of twenty-eight Summer and seven Winter events, analyzed according to their historical, rhetorical, and popular cultural representations. Women’s unique role(s) in the various events are discussed, particular athletes and Paralympic events are highlighted, and original tables are also included. At the end of each section, affiliated organizations and resources are included in this invaluable referential volume.

ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 270 In this 270th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the story of “THE FAIRY GARDENS.” ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and far, far away, there lived a man called Kostas. Uncle Kostas, as everyone called him, had once been a prisoner of the fairies. He would sit stiffly down upon a stone and lean upon the tall, shepherd's staff which he always carried, to recount his story. His story goes that one day he was resting at noon beside a spring under the shadow of a pine in one of the Dragonorahes, Dragon Hills, after eating his bread and cheese. He closed his eyes for a little while and when he opened them, there were fairies dancing all around him in the air. He knew that he was handsome, handsome enough to tempt them to carry him away, but since he had his gun with him he thought himself safe. Some of the fairies were singing, others were playing their flutes, and all would pause now and then to ask Kostas to play his flute and dance with them. Pointing to his gun, he shook his head and even though they were angry they dared not harm him. Suddenly the music and the dancing ceased. The fairies whispered together a moment and then disappeared like a cob web that is brushed away. Kostas was about to go back to his sheep, grazing lower down on the hillside, but he was unable to move, even to stretch out his hand. Then the fairies were back again and this time their queen was with them, riding on a great white horse. Around her were a thousand fairies on white horses and others kept coming and coming until the Dragonorahe was covered with them. Kostas tried to stand up, he tried to reach his gun, but he could do nothing except gaze at the beautiful queen, with her shining, silken hair and her shimmering white garments, as she sat upon her proud horse. There was a great murmuring around him. After a while he understood that all the fairies were talking about him. "Does he please you?" one asked the queen. "Will you have him?" asked another. The queen looked down at him thoughtfully for a long time. Then she smiled, lifted her wand and cried, "I shall have him! He is beautiful! Let us bring him with us!" And so Kostas’ journey to the land of the fairies began. But how long did old Uncle Kostas live with the fairies and how did he escape from the clutches of the fairy queen?
