This post is something that has really captured my attention growing up, and as I have seen throughout many other MKF3881 blogs, it has done the same to many others.
Although many others might not like to admit it, I embrace that I am a frequent gambler when it comes to watching live sport. Although from afar, it might not seem like a great representation of a character, it is something that makes live sport and other more interesting and thrilling.
Statistics show that 80% of Australians are frequent gamblers, and in a town that is considered "The Sporting Capital of the World", it is impossible to escape the marketing pull that gambling agencies place upon our society. Whether we like it or not, gambling is everywhere within Australian Sport.
Before digital technology became the way it is today, TABCORP was the major gambling player in Australia, as their outlets were scattered all over the country, printing out paper betting slips for users who would collect cash on hand at the counter. Today, TABCORP has been outcompeted by British agency Sportsbet, due to an easy-to-use online service that linked a betting account to a bank account to make withdrawals and deposits.

Sportsbet has also been remarkable in the way it has used social media and direct email marketing in order to capture the attention and interest of their audience, in turn, enticing them to challenge the bookmaker and place a bet. This is a key reason that contributes to Sportsbet posting such enormous profits ( $117M in 2015 alone).
I have spoken directly to a "digital content creator" at Sportsbet, named Pat Garschagen. His role is to work within a team of other content creators during a live sporting event and discuss with them using Slack, potential content that can be distributed through Sportsbet's social media channels such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. "We are commonly referred to as 'The Sportsbet Guy' and known to be funny and humorous when it comes to creating content around sport", Garschagen informed me. "Now that the organisation's online reputation has been built, it's all about maintaining interest to our consumers". The Twitter account alone is followed by 123K people.
Here are some recent examples where such interest is maintained by continuing to post output during live events.
Personally, where I find Sportsbet's use of digital marketing very impressive, is their use of direct emailing. When their marketing team is emailing out a special offer or information about my account, the email gets sent straight to my junk mail inbox where I will rarely notice it. However, when I have a winning bet, Sportsbet cheekily remind me by sending through a personal email, telling me that my bet has been successful, in the attempt to get me to neglect the withdrawal of the funds, access the site, and place another wager. Smart stuff.
Have you ever been influenced or captivated by betting agencies due to their digital content online, or direct marketing? Do you notice the presence of gambling agencies online? I'd love to know what you think about the gambling industry and digital marketing.

Billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein has agreed to fund an overhaul of the Washington Monument's broken elevator system, but the beleaguered landmark will probably remain closed for the next 2 1/2 years, the National Park Service says.
It is the second time that Rubenstein has come to the aid of the monument, which has been shuttered since Aug. 17 because of chronic elevator problems.
After the 2011 earthquake, he donated $7.5 million of the $15 million cost of repairing the marble-and-granite obelisk.
[Philanthropist to give millions to help fix Washington Monument]
But there is no start date for the roughly 12-month elevator project, which will cost $2 million to $3 million, because the Park Service is awaiting funds for a new security screening entrance that it wants to build at the same time.
And even if those funds come through, the Park Service does not see the monument reopening until the "cherry blossom season in 2019," a spokesman, Mike Litterst, said in an email.
"It does seem like it's a long period of time," said Will Shafroth, president of the National Park Foundation, the charitable partner that is facilitating Rubenstein's donation. "Just know that the Park Service is moving as fast as it can."
"As frustrating as it can be, they're a federal agency," he said. "We're talking about one of our national monuments . . . A lot of people have a say in it, and it tends to grind the process a little bit slower than we'd like."
The centerpiece of the Mall, the monument had just reopened two years ago after an almost three-year shutdown after the earthquake.
Normally entered by about 500,000 visitors a year, the 555-foot icon is a hallowed symbol of the United States and of Washington.
"It's the first thing people see when they come to the city," said Sean Kennealy, chief of the professional services division for the Park Service's National Mall and Memorial Parks.
Construction began in 1848. It was dedicated in 1885 and honors George Washington, a Revolutionary War hero and the nation's first president.
The Park Service says the elevator, which carries visitors to an observation level where the views are spectacular, is too unreliable to resume operations.
It broke down numerous times in recent months, stranding groups of visitors and staff on board or at upper levels, and requiring calls to the D.C. fire department.
Rubenstein is a founder of the Carlyle Group, a Washington-based global private equity firm, and has been a major benefactor of historic sites and institutions across the region.
This year, he announced an $18.5 million donation to help renovate the Lincoln Memorial.
Last year, he pledged a $5.37 million donation to refurbish the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial near Arlington National Cemetery.
In 2014, he gave $10 million to Montpelier, the historic Orange, Va., home of James Madison; $5 million to the White House Visitor Center; and $12.3 million to Arlington House, the home of Robert E. Lee. He said his goal after the earthquake was to get the monument reopened to the public as soon as possible, and the goal is the same now.
"The thing to do is to make the place as hospitable as possible and as safe as possible," he said. "It's a monument that's going to be around for another 100, 200, 300 years, who knows how long."
"Obviously, like everybody, I wish it was ready tomorrow," he said. "But that's not realistic. I want to make sure it's done right, and if that's what they say it takes, that's what it takes."
As for the elevator, "It was a very difficult decision to say that we need to close . . . until we can completely modernize this," said Gay E. Vietzke, superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks.
"But we really felt that we owed the public a positive, seamless experience," she said. "And we were at a place where we couldn't offer that." She called it " an unpredictable situation."
"Say you're [stuck] in the cab . . . and you have 30 or 40 minutes to wait" for emergency crews, Vietzke said. "And you're claustrophobic, or someone's sick, or has a condition."
The elevator problems came just as the Park Service was about to launch an 18-month, $9 million project to build the permanent security screening facility. The present facility is temporary.
That project, which also would require closing the monument, is awaiting government funding, Vietzke said. The Park Service wants to proceed with the two projects simultaneously, so it can save money and avoid one shutdown, followed by another one.
"We want to try to do all the construction at the same time to minimize the period that we're closed to the public," she said.
"There's a scenario where we could do the elevator, and then have the money for the [security] building come, and have to do that, and it would be a much longer closure period," she said.
But it is unclear when the funding request, now before Congress, might be approved.
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), the city's nonvoting member of Congress, said in a statement that she would work "to help secure the funding . . . so that the dual projects can take place at the same time . . . [and get] the monument to reopen as soon as possible."
The Park Service said the new facility will feature ballistic glass and screening equipment and will be able to handle 20 to 25 visitors at a time.
Kennealy said the monument may have the most heavily used elevator in Washington.
"Our elevator runs, during the summer months . . . 13 hours a day, nonstop," he said. "It doesn't rest. . . . This thing is running constantly, the motor, the gears, the control system, the doors."
The monument has had an elevator since it opened. The first was steam-powered and took 12 minutes to reach the top. The trip now takes 70 seconds.
The Park Service wants to replace the elevator's 1990s-era computer controls, the door systems, cab lighting and ventilation, and cables, and study the idea of a cab that does not need a park ranger onboard. The powerful electric motor, which dates to the 1960s, is "a beast," Kennealy said, and only needs refurbishing.
The situation "is a drag, at this moment," said Brian D. Joyner, chief of staff for the National Mall and Memorial Parks. "But it will be better."

Have you ever found yourself in one of the following positions before?
You've got a beautifully designed website that's mobile friendly, but nobody's visiting it.
All of your pages' title tags, meta descriptions, and content are optimized, but you're not getting the leads and traffic you want.
You're flat-out not getting leads in general.
Ever wondered why this could be the case?
There are plenty of reasons why your website might not be converting visitors like you want it to. In fact, I can easily think of seven specific reasons why your website isn't converting any of your visitors.
In this post, I will be covering these seven reasons. Without further ado, let's begin.
Reason 1: Your website lacks a clear call-to-action.
What is a call-to-action?
Simply put, it's an instruction for your website's visitors. It tells them exactly what to do or where to go after they've looked through your website.
Anything along the lines of "Call us now!" or "Download this PDF" is a call-to-action. These instructions clearly tell visitors the next step to take once they've finished exploring your site.
So, as you can guess…
…without a clear call-to-action, your website will probably not succeed at converting visitors.
If you've got people clicking through and browsing your website, you need to tell them what to do. If they don't know what to do, they are not going to act. If you have a form you want them to fill out and they don't see a call-to-action telling them to do it, they won't do it.
You get the idea, right?
The Solution:
If you don't have a call-to-action on your website, place one there.
However, if you do have a call-to-action on your website and it's tricky to find, put it in a more obvious location.
If you've got a hidden call-to-action, you may as well not have a call-to-action at all.
And when you're working on that call-to-action, make it as clear and concise as possible. Don't draw it out, don't ramble—get to the point.
You want conversions now. Keep it simple so your website's visitors do not waste their time.
Reason 2: Your website is poorly designed.
There's nothing worse than a website that isn't user-friendly.
And by this, I mean the following:
Your website might have a cluttered design. Maybe you have links all over the place, and sidebars that extend beyond the fold of the screen.
The color choices of the website may contrast too much, and they hurt your visitors' eyes. It could be that you've got white text on a black background.
You could also be using a font that is very difficult to read.
Maybe you've got some 90s-looking sparkly animated images everywhere.
And above all, perhaps a visitor has no idea what to do when they get to your website. If your website has a ton of navigation items or links up and down the sides of the site, then your website's visitors may feel overwhelmed and unsure where to click first.
If poor web design is the case, then you need to take action.
The Solution:
Clean up your website, and make it look more organized. Limit your navigation bar items to no more than four. In other words, pick out the most important pages on your website and place them in your navigation bar.
It's always best to go with dark text on a white background. Make sure you keep a limited color palette for the website's color choices and choose color schemes that won't turn customers away or otherwise make their browsing experience more difficult.
Use a sans-serif font that is easy to read (the one in which this article is written is a good example).
Reason 3: There is no clarity around your product or service.
So, you've got a product or service that you offer. And you talk about its features a lot.
Despite this, you never directly state what this service is and what it does for people.
If you do not first define your product or service for your visitors, they will not understand it. And if your visitors do not understand what you do or how you will benefit them, they won't want to pursue the call-to-action on your website.
The Solution:
Don't beat around the bush. Clearly define your product or service. Tell your visitors exactly what you do or what your product is, and tell your visitors how this product or service will benefit them.
Be as clear as possible while being as concise as possible. Once your visitors are confident that they know who you are, what you do, and how you will benefit them, they will certainly be more willing to reach out to you.
Reason 4: Your website loads way too slowly.
This is a big one.
If your website loads slowly, people aren't going to stick around. They'll click to your website, and if your website hasn't loaded in less than five seconds, they'll leave.
We call this a bounce rate—the rate at which people click to your site and immediately click away.
Often, a slow loading time is the major culprit behind a high bounce rate for a website.
But I'll let you in on another secret about site loading time:
It's a page ranking factor.
That's right. Websites that load more quickly are typically ranked higher than others that load at a snail's pace.
If your website is slow, it'll rank lower in the SERPs.
If your website ranks lower in the SERPs, people aren't going to find it.
If people don't find it, you lose business and potential leads.
The Solution:
Find ways to make your website load faster. Optimize any images that you have on the site, and resize them so they are smaller and take less time to load.
If you're using WordPress, double check the plugins you're using and make sure they're running properly. Keep them up-to-date, and keep in mind that older plugins may make your website load slower.
Use as little CSS and JavaScript as possible, as these will make your website load a little more slowly as well. Of course, this doesn't mean you should never use them—just get rid of extra spaces and line breaks that you really don't need.
Above all, keep your pages simple with a few images (resized accordingly) and some text, and with nothing too crazy.
Reason 5: Your website is not mobile friendly.
Another huge reason why your website may be turning away visitors.
It's no secret that more and more people are using mobile devices today. Since many of these mobile devices come equipped with internet, people are obviously using them to browse websites.
Not all websites, however, have been created or adjusted to work with these mobile devices.
Additionally, the mobile friendliness of a website is a page ranking factor. And with Google's mobilegeddon implemented earlier this year, the search engine has been giving ranking boosts to websites that are mobile friendly, as opposed to those that are not.
The Solution:
Make your website mobile friendly. Implement responsive design so the website will work across a number of mobile platforms, from tablets to iPhones.
If you don't know how to make your website mobile friendly, reach out to a firm who can help you.
Reason 6: Visitors do not find your website's content to be engaging.
You can have a lot of content on your website, and maybe your website has an amazing design.
However, if your website's visitors find little to no value in your site's content, they're not going to stick around—let alone fill out a contact form.
Maybe your content is boring. It could be that your visitors don't find it useful or helpful in any way—and maybe they're fighting to keep themselves awake as they're reading through it.
Or perhaps your content is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors? That's certainly enough to turn anyone away, right?
Or maybe it's the sheer look of the website's content. Is it a bunch of blocks of text, or just one big ol' wall of text? Those aren't very fun to read, are they?
The Solution:
Take a second look at your content. Put yourself in your visitors' shoes for a moment. Ask yourself, "Would my visitors find this content useful? Is this content informative, and does it provide value to them?"
If you answered "no" to both of those questions, do something about it. Find out who your visitors are and what they're looking for when they visit your website. Know your audience so you know the exact type of content that they will find most beneficial.
Proofread your content. Make sure it's free of spelling and grammatical errors. Poor writing, poor spelling, and poor grammar not only make your content more difficult and painful to read, but they also do not reflect very well on you and your company.
Try breaking up that content, too. Brian Dean's got some excellent advice on how to do this, and I highly recommend looking at point number two in this article. It's something that I've learned how to do since I started copywriting, and it can help you, too.
Reason 7: You aren't advertising yourself enough.
Your website's got useful content, and everything is optimized. You've cleaned up any navigational issues and you've got a design that can't be beat…
…but nobody's visiting your website.
Because nobody knows your website exists.
Obviously, if people don't know that your website exists, you won't get any conversions.
So this is where marketing comes in.
The Solution:
Get active on social media as soon as possible. Make a Facebook page for your business, and don't stop there. Make a Twitter account, a LinkedIn account, and a Google+ page.
If you're feeling very ambitious and if your company can advertise in a more visual and creative way, make accounts on YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram as well.
Make sure all of your social media pages and profiles for your business link back to your business' website. And make sure you're actively posting to these social media outlets.
Maybe you can even have your family and friends help you advertise your business via social media. It certainly can't hurt.
Aside from just making accounts and posting to them, see if you can figure out the best times to post to each social media platform. Use analytics programs to find out when most of your social media followers are online. Post around those times, and you'll be good to go.
These are just seven possible reasons why your website may not be converting visitors like you want it to. If you're experiencing any of these problems and you're still struggling to get the leads you're looking for, let us give you a hand. We'll be happy to help.

God I love Kim Deal.
The Pixies were playing on the radio today and it was nearly perfect despite the bitter cold outside and all I could think about aside from my love for Kim Deal was how watching this old video makes me long to rush out and buy five or six of the Gap's favorite t-shirts in black and develop a sort of uniform for 2009. I grew up in these t-shirts and I have decided they are to be born again in 2009 for me.
I have looked lately like a preschooler allowed to dress herself for the first time as I walk the streets with my children.
I am at any moment expecting a fashion ambush from Stacey and Clinton or some sort of planned intervention from my stylish friends at a pub one night. I need a daily uniform. Life is too hard otherwise. I am think black t-shirts and jeans with bright red lipstick. That is what I am thinking. Watch out 2009 I am gonna get my good looking on again.

Tim Berg: Seek Bromance (X5IGHT Remix)
The Windy City is unusually on fire today. Not only did we get a killer release from Ennui, but we also finally got our ears on this X5IGHT reboot of Tim Berg's Seek Bromance. It's fresh, it's dressed up in gigantic synths, and there's enough tension building expertise tucked into every corner that we can't help but highlight these Chicago boys. And we're not the only ones. With support from Tiesto and a premiere on BPM Radio a few weekends back, we have a feeling you should keep your eyes on these two midwestern boys too.
Woops - looks like soundcloud has taken the original soundcloud stream down. No worries - you can still grab a copy right over here.

It is important that your home is not just beautiful from the outside but is also stunning in the inside. It is then that the need for Interior decorations comes by. During the present times you are able to find many interior designers who are ready to make your home more stylish and eye catching.
Before beginning to start decoration, the following steps should be kept in mind before choosing the interior designs:
Tips for choosing Interior designs for your house :
1.Be Organized – Before starting your hunt for your interior designer get all your information together. Make mental notes of the things which you want in your house, so that it would be made easy for the designer to work on.
2.Be Confident – Never let someone pressure you into anything, take your time to decide your interior designs, after all it is your home! Plan confidently with your designer to decorate your home in the way you want to.
3.Samples of Work – Everyone you interview needs to bring in sample books or something professional to show their work. You got to examine it very keenly. These sample works would help you judge the designer and would make it easier for you to finalize the designer and designs.
4.Comfort Level – Before deciding on someone, make sure you two get along and the ideas are along the same line. If your ideas don't match with those of the designer's then there is no use working with that particular designer.
5.Get Everything in writing – From the estimate to the layout, every single detail should be in writing and signed by you and the designer. It would make things easier in the future. If required you would always have a reference in your hand.
6.Consult a Professional Designer - Having your home interior done by a professional designer should be an exciting and fun time. Never settle and always agree to everything beforehand.
7.Ask for everyone's opinion at home - Make your family members a part of this designing and let them also contribute their valuable opinions to make your dream home realistic and even more special.

DEVON, Pa.--McLain Ward of Brewster, N. Y., won the $250,000 Sapphire Grand Prix of Devon CSI4* for a record10th time in his career, and this time with a super new mare, Clinta..
Ward has had a number of very good mares and two fabulous mares, Sapphire and HH Azur, but Clinta may turn out to be the best of them all..
The 11-year-old Oldenburg mare, Clinta, is owned by Sagamore Farm.
"Clinta has been incredible," said Ward. "It took me a long time to get her purchased, and I'm very grateful to the Sweeneys for purchasing her for me to ride and compete. I think with HH Azur, and some of our supporting cast, it really is as strong of a one-two punch as you can have in this sport. The way the sport is now with so many major events and big championships, I'm really trying to manage each horse's career for the best long-term health of the athlete. I'm very excited about Clinta, and of course I feel so lucky to have Azur for the championships coming this season. I'm very blessed to have the support of the Harrisons and the Sweeneys. This horse is also part owned by my god mother, Susan Heller."
FROM THE starting field of 31, five went clean over Brazil's Guilherme Jorge's technical first round course consisting of 13 obstacles, in front of, as usual, a packed crowd.
For a number of riders, Jorge's course was the winner, beating them into submission, with five of the first 10 riders retiring after a number of faults, and two or three more retiring before the end of the class.
First in the jump-off was 25-year-old Adrienne Sternlicht, who is also trained by Ward, on Cristalline and they went clean and set a fairly quick time of 40.20 seconds, which turned out to be good enough or second.
Brianne Goutal-Marteau on Viv Columbia, next in the ring, retired to end up fifth.
Ward and Clinta, third in the order, went all out and and cleared the final oxer in a blazing 36.91 seconds for the lead as the crowd erupted with applause and cheers.
The next two in the ring, trying to match Ward's speed, each had 8 faults.
Competing for the first time at Devon since their second place finish in Paris at the World Cup Jumping Final in April, Devin Ryan on Eddie Blue finished with 8 in 39.07 seconds to place third, and Todd Minikus on Chaventyno had 8 in 40.02 for fourth.
To top off an incredible evening, Ward won the McDevitt Style Award and the Richard E. McDevitt Style Perpetual Trophy.
"I thought the course was excellent," said Ward. "This show, this event, has really taken itself to a new level. The hard work of the organizers, the committees, the sponsors and, of course, the community has reinvented Devon to be a world-class show jumping event. The caliber of riders here reflects that. Every class is full of top riders and horses. People are bringing their best horses here and trying to win. It was a challenging course and I think that four to six clear in a major grand prix is how it should be.
"The whole beginning of the jump-off worked really well for us. The turn to the double came up very nicely, which I was a little bit concerned about. The horse is so careful that I was worried she would go too high. I tried to make up a little bit of time on the way to the last fence and, to be honest, she could have chipped or stopped at it. It showed me where she is mentally and that she believes in what I am asking of her because it was a little bit of a dicey distance. The horse saved me there, she was incredible.
"Clinta is very sensitive. I have to make sure that I'm there for her. Her rideability has really improved in the last six weeks. I have to give a lot of credit to her previous rider, Philip Rüping, who developed her over the past year and a half to have the confidence to do what she's doing now with me. I decided to bring her here because this show warrants bringing your best horses. HH Azur is in Europe. For Clinta, we've set benchmarks along the way to keep stepping her up. Her next benchmark is going to be the Nations Cup in Rotterdam. The focus is on Azur for the World Equestrian Games, and that hasn't changed."
"FOR ME, it's very exciting to see what Adrienne is doing," said Ward of his student. "I don't help a lot of people, but the ones that I do I am very passionate about. To see how Adrienne has stepped up in a different capacity makes me very proud. When I'm warming up for the jump-off and you see people you have supported or directly helped, like Devin [Ryan] or Adrienne, it's a great feeling.
"Even on a rainy night, how can you beat the atmosphere here? I've always said this is a special place, it's an iconic location. The crowd is second to none. I don't think there's an atmosphere in the world that is better. It's always been a special place for me, and it was a special place for my father. Things just seem to go really well for me here. I am honored to ride in front of this crowd. I always seem to have them in my back pocket."
"I had many more experienced and incredible riders behind me tonight, and I have the gift of riding an incredible horse," said Sternlicht. "I tried to trust myself and stick to my plan. I've become more and more confident in the jump-off. Tonight I just tried to execute according to McLain's plan for me."
"I thought the course was quite technical with a lot of careful verticals, and that definitely played a factor for some of the riders that came before me" she said. "McLain said to me after watching the first two go that it was a similar track to the grand prix at the Masters of New York, which was quite careful, and that was the last grand prix that Cristalline. With Cristalline, I feel that anything is possible."
"I took a little bit of time at the end of 2017 when I was having a tough time with the sport to recenter myself," said Sternlicht. "So far, I have been blessed to have an amazing 2018. McLain has been very patient with me. I know that if I put my head down, stick to my riding and focus on what's in front of me, that anything is possible with my horse. It's been an amazing feeling. I know that I have to prove myself and I feel fortunate to have the partner that I do. I have more confidence in her everyday."
"It seems like the past two or three years I've been riding on McLain's coat tails, so going in to this class I knew I really wanted to take a shot at it," said Ryan. "I wanted to be double-clean tonight because that's always the goal, but I think I took too much of a shot in the jump-off. My horse has such a big stride that sometimes it gets away from me a little bit. I tried to win it too much.
"I thought it was a great course tonight. This is a 4* level show jumping event with great footing and a great ring. I think the course designer had a great number in the jump-off with five of us."
"This is Eddie Blue's first show back after World Cup Finals," said Ryan. "I'm just taking it one day at a time. Hopefully it will be our year. It's always been my dream to represent the United States at some level. I have some really good owners and a good crew behind me. It's so important to have such a good team behind you during a year like this. I'm excited for it and I'm going to give it a shot."
Winning at Devon has always been very special for Ward, especially since the grand prix is named after his legendary Olympic mount Sapphire, who died in 2014 due to complications from colic and who he also won the prestigious class with two times in 2007 and 2009.
Even after claiming the title time and time again, Thursday's 10th grand prix victory marked an incredible milestone in Devon Horse Show history.

10-Business Day Main Street Road Closure
Heber to 7th Street - for Kimball Garage Project

Receiving Post
Postal mail in the United Kingdom is extremely reliable. Mail will normally be delivered direct to your house or flat. If you live on a college campus, mail will be delivered centrally and often put in a 'pigeon hole': small
boxes labelled alphabetically. Sometimes a piece of mail cannot be delivered to you, e.g. if you are out when a parcel is being delivered. If this is the case, you will receive a postcard giving details of where you should go to collect your parcel.
The Post Office
Letters and small packets may be placed in any local post box for collection if they have a correct postage stamp on them. Read the sign on the side of the post box to get an idea of what time the post will be collected. If you do not know the cost of posting a letter, visit your local post office or look at www.royalmail.com.
Post Offices are open during normal office hours, and as well as postal services, they can often help you in other ways. You may be able to pay certain bills there (such as electricity and gas), send flowers by post and even have photographs developed at some of the larger post offices. Social Service benefits and claim forms are also available. You can also exchange money at some Post Offices.
Writing the Address
Always try to use the post code for addresses within the UK (you can look up postcodes at www.royalmail.com). Always PRINT the name and address carefully and use an airmail sticker for letters going abroad by airmail. At Christmas, mail takes longer to arrive due to the increase in numbers of letters being sent, so make you allow long enough for the letter to arrive.
Special Services
If you need to send a letter in a hurry, there are a few options available from your post office. There are also services available for sending valuable items. Ask at a Post Office or visit their website.
Mail Redirection
If you move house or return home, you may arrange for any mail that arrives at your old address to be redirected. Redirection can be arranged for 1 month, 3 month or year periods. There is a charge for this service. For details of this service, ask at your local post office or look at www.royalmail.com.

Mahi Mahi en Papillote
Mahi Mahi en papillote is healthy and incredibly easy to assemble. The few simple ingredients like olive oil, lemon juice, thyme and olives give this dish beautiful Mediterranean flavors. The kids loved it and keep on requesting it.
You can prepare this recipe with different types of fish, I chose the Mahi Mahi because it was from a local source here in South Florida.
Each portion is cooked individually; which makes a convenient and cute presentation. This method keeps the fish very moist while infusing wonderful flavors. You can of course play with the options, adding capers, lemon wedges or any herb that compliments the fish you selected.
"En Papillote" method: the ingredients are tucked in a parchment paper parcel, sealed and cooked in the oven. The result is moist, healthy (very little to no added fat at all), it preserves vitamins and enhances aromas. You can use this method to cook fish, poultry or meat, vegetarian dishes and even desserts. Depending on the type of ingredients you are cooking, you can use different material to make the papillote: parchment paper, aluminum foil, filo dough, banana leaves etc…
I recently discovered parchment paper bags that are ready to use for papillote cooking. It is very convenient and make the process even easier.
December 2017 update: The recipe evolved a little bit since the first few trials,... Now I add some yellow crunch once the fish is cooked and ready to serve: Crushed toasted and salty corn nuts. It gives this dish much needed texture and crunch.
Bon appétit! ;)
Mahi Mahi en Papillote
Recipe credits: Rafaella Sargi
Serves 4
Ingredients4 parchment bags (or 4 large pieces of parchment paper)
4 (8 ounce / 225 g) boneless fish fillets
Black pepper
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
8 sprigs of fresh thyme
16 green olives
A handful of toasted salted corn, crushed (called "corn nut")
Prep all the ingredients
You will need 4 parchment bags or parchment paper, one big baking sheet, lined with aluminum foil. It will be easier to clean up if some of the cooking juices find a way out of the parchment pockets.
Heat the oven to 400F / 200C.
On a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, place the parchment bags*. In each bag place one piece of fish and season with salt and pepper. Add to each fish fillet one tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, one tablespoon lemon juice, 2 sprigs of fresh thyme and 4 olives. Tightly close the parchment paper bags and bake for 15 minutes.
Serve immediately.
*If you can't find parchment bags, you can use aluminum foil and fold all the edges tightly.
You can also make your own parchment pouches. Cut one big piece of parchment paper (22 x 15 inch) and fold it in two (becomes 11 x 15 inch). Using scissors, cut the folded parchment paper as you would do to make a heart shape. One side is round and continues in an oblique line to the other tip of the folded paper. Open the heart shaped parchment paper. Place all the papillote ingredients and seal making tight and overlapping folds. Tuck the bottom end under the folded pouch.

Chief Encounters: Stuart Callison, St Andrews First Aid
The first aid charity's boss reflects on his dream to be a professional cricketer, and is planning a digital detox
What is the first thing you do when you arrive at work?
Make a cup of tea to calm down after the daily brutal commute on the M77.
What makes a good day at work?
Any day where I feel we're making concrete progress on key objectives: maybe a successful grant application for a new pet project, or a solution to that longstanding problem is starting to pay off…in other words, "I love it when a plan comes together".
How often do you socialise with colleagues outside the Christmas party?
Occasionally. When I was in my late twenties/early thirties, my social life revolved around work colleagues and Friday night after work was a definite fixture. Now that I could actually consider doing that again, I notice that people that age seem to prefer to head home at the first opportunity. It's a shame, although undoubtedly better for their health.
Is it better to work for a big charity or a small charity?
There are pros and cons to both. I think that small/medium sized charities have more flexibility and can change direction a bit more easily, but of course sometimes you need the resources of a big organisation to get things done. Whilst I haven't actually worked for one of the big national charities, you never know what the future holds!
What do you enjoy most about working at St Andrew's First Aid?
Working with our staff, trustees, and volunteers to ensure that our charity and its lifesaving mission is seen to be as relevant to this century as when it was founded in 1882.
What's your favourite book?
If I have to choose, it would be Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine". Published in 2007, her thesis on how neo-liberalism exploits the disorientation of ordinary citizens following major upheavals (e.g. 9/11, the Asian Tsunami) to drive through the agenda of a wealthy elite, has been completely borne out by events following the financial crash. Read this along with "Flat Earth News" (Nick Davies), and "Dark Money" (Jane Mayer) and you have the perfect primer on why modern politics works as it does.
Would your 16-year-old self be impressed with where you are now?
I doubt it. I wanted to be a professional cricketer (and a little later - and just as hopelessly - an MP).
Which do you prefer and why – Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin?
For work purposes, I fully support the opportunities that social media has to offer and for a charity like St Andrews's First Aid, it increasingly plays a valuable role in enabling us to effectively reach out and engage with audiences. However, on a personal level, it's simply not my thing. Call me old school or traditional but I prefer to meet people in person or chat to them over the phone. I do use Facebook occasionally but I'm planning a digital detox there too. I'm starting a one-man tech backlash!
What's your perfect weekend?
Friday with old friends in a familiar bar. A win for Partick Thistle (coupled with defeats for the other major Glasgow clubs…) and dinner or a film with the family. I'm between dogs but a long country walk with a canine companion would certainly feature: trying to stay fit through a health club seems like a form of community punishment by comparison.
What has been your greatest achievement so far?
My son.
What was your first job?
Assistant auditor with the National Audit Office in London.
Is the third sector a calling or an accident?
Sort of both really. I always wanted to do meaningful work for the public good but was a little unsure about how to go about this. So I have worked in the civil service, for local government and now for 20 years in the third sector in two very different charities.
Which Brian Cox do you prefer?
I occasionally tread the boards at the Citizens Theatre, so it has to be the shouty one. Plus I know much less about science than I should.
Stuart Callison is the chief executive of St Andrews First Aid, Scotland's only dedicated first aid charity which aims to provide everyone in the country with the highest standards in lifesaving skills

Meet Master Vocal Coach, Bob Marks
"Robert Marks gave me self-confidence about performing, and provided me with fresh material to sing, unique to my personality."
"Bob Marks expertly coaches actors for their singing auditions — my own daughter included!"
"I want to strongly recommend Robert Marks to instruct your students. I have known him nearly as long as I have been an agent and completely trust him as a vocal coach. Not only does he give them appropriate material and coaching to get them the job, but he can also be trusted to keep their voices healthy. When I was writing "Raising a Star," he was the only vocal coach that I chose to quote."
Bob Marks
Working with singers on developing their vocal technique, repertoire, and performance skills is not a sideline for me. For over three decades I've devoted my professional life to providing the support and guidance that this challenging business requires. My number one priority, now and always, has been vocal health. That's one of the major reasons I received my college degree in speech and voice pathology.
As a vocal coach, music arranger, accompanist, conductor, and Music Director, I've been helping singers prepare their songs for performances on stage and at auditions. My studio is located in New York City, and I am available for private sessions by appointment, and also will arrange master classes for groups of students.
I recently began offering Sunday Private Intensives: 3-hours on a Sunday devoted to your special needs and performance preparation. For students coming in from out of town, preparing for a specific audition, or updating their repertoire, we can accomplish a lot in this relaxed, uninterrupted time period.
Planning to major in MUSICAL THEATRE in college? Students have been accepted to dozens of major Acting and Musical Theatre programs worldwide including: University of Michigan, Carnegie Mellon University, New York University Tisch School of the Arts, The Hartt School of Music, Fordham University, The Guildhall School, RADA, Urdang Academy, Wagner College, Boston University, Boston College, Boston Conservatory, USC, UCLA, Pace University, Marymount Manhattan College, and many others.
Why Choose Bob?
There are many voice teachers and vocal coaches in New York City; why do entertainment industry professionals recommend Bob Marks?

Project Description
J.M. Smucker Company Rolls Out Global Responsible Sourcing Program
The J.M. Smucker Company's new 2018 corporate responsibility report outlines how the food and beverage manufacturer is working with suppliers on responsible sourcing. The report also details the company's work on palm oil traceability.
Published this week, the report called the company's relationship with suppliers particularly important since they directly affect the ability to meet customers' product quality and performance expectations. The company has 7,000 employees and a portfolio of brands that includes Smucker's, Folgers, Jif, Dunkin' Donuts, and Crisco.
"Suppliers must operate transparently, responsibly, and sustainably in order to minimize social and environmental risks across our supply chain," the report says. "We expect every supplier to conduct its business with the same high standards of honesty, fairness, ethics, and regard for the environment that we apply to our own business."
In 2018, Smucker is creating a responsible sourcing function to consolidate and enhance those activities. The company is also rolling out a global Responsible Sourcing Program by the end of the calendar year. With the program, Smucker aims to:
- Ensure that all products are produced ethically and in accordance with local laws and standards
- Empower supply chain workers with the management of social, ethical, and environmental effects in their communities
- Protect the company's business and brand reputation, and mitigate risk for customers by implementing effective and proactive supply chain risk management systems
- Create competitive advantage by building capacity for suppliers so that they can meet the company's responsible sourcing standards and expectations
Among the company's supply chain commitments: continue to purchase 10% of their total retail coffee from certified green coffee sources, source 100% cage-free eggs by 2020 for consumer foods products, and maintain a fully sustainable palm oil supply chain that ensures 100% of their direct palm oil purchases are from responsible and certified sustainable sources.
Smucker made their first Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil-certified palm oil purchases in 2012. Seven of the company's manufacturing facilities have become RSPO supply chain-certified, meaning they are subject to additional RSPO training, record-keeping, and physical handling protocols.
The palm oil supply chain is known for being long, complex, and often problematic. The J.M. Smucker Company notes that although 100% of their palm oil purchases are traceable to the mill, the manufacturer continues to work on tracing it all back to the plantation — a commitment they're hoping to achieve by 2020.
"At the start of calendar year 2018, our purchases are roughly 30% traceable to the plantation," the company said. Read the full report here.

Last week we talked about the many people who volunteer with us in-class and onstage, but today we'd love to recognize one of our most consistent and dedicated behind the scenes volunteers: Andrew Heckman! Andrew has been our dedicated cinematographer for all of our stage productions since 2012. He records our final performances, and also produces a DVD of the show for our cast.
Over the years, Andrew has taken the time to really get to know our ensemble, and he puts great heart into producing DVDs for us. He attends our tech/dress rehearsal at the theatre taking notes of entrances and exits, larger scenes and smaller more intimate scenes, and making sure he knows where the action happens onstage. On show day, he arrives early to set up (usually with enough time to wish all of our cast well before the show), and then records the whole performance start to finish. Later, he edits this footage into a DVD for our actors and teaching artists. This is such a special way for us to relive each performance with our families and friends. Our actors LOVE watching themselves perform and cheering on their friends. And for the teaching artists, the DVDs are a great way for us to see progress from one performance to the next. Andrew works hard to make these keepsakes special: he builds disc menus from our show artwork and pictures, creates chapters so our actors can skip directly to their scenes when they watch at home, and adds special feature menus including headshots & bios for the cast, press, and rehearsal footage. Did we mention he does all of this as a VOLUNTEER?! We are so lucky to have him!
To date, Andrew has created DVDs for 4 of our shows: The Wizard of Oz (2012), The Taming of the Shrew (2013), Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On (2013), and The Tempest (2014). Right now he is putting the finishing touches on the DVD from our most recent stage production with Chicago Children's Theatre: Adventures in Wonderland! Our whole cast in chomping at the bit to get their copies when classes start, for now, we are delighted to offer a sneak peek at two of our big group numbers:
We do not offer DVD's for general sale - but if you attend one of our shows, we usually have a few from our past performances available for a suggested donation of $10 each.
Want to see more? Check out A.B.L.E.'s YouTube page for clips from all of our past shows (and many thanks to Andrew for making this possible)!

Operational Technologies Corporation (OpTech) has spun out two biotechnology companies; OTC Biotechnologies, LLC and Pronucleotein Biotechnologies, Inc., but maintains partial ownership of both spinoffs. OTC Biotech was formed to commercialize the DNA aptamers and related products developed by OpTech since 2003 and largely funded by numerous federal Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contracts to OpTech totaling greater than $9M. Aptamers are similar in function to antibodies in that they bind tightly and specifically to target molecules or cells including bacteria, parasites and cancer cells against which they are developed. However, aptamers are easier, faster, and less expensive to develop than antibodies and demonstrate greater reproducibility from batch to batch than antibodies, because they do not require host animals or cells for production.

Movement for Change (KINAL) party leader Fofi Gennimata is paying a visit to the island of Lesvos on Friday, which included a visit to the Moria Reception and Identification Centre for refugees and migrants and meetings with local government officials.
During her visit, Gennimata will be given a tour of the island's Vrana Museum and speak at an event in a Mytilene hotel at 19:00 on Friday evening.
In statements after her visit to Moria, Gennimata described conditions in the camp as "hellish" and that the situation she encountered there was "tragic". Referring to the problems faced by both camp residents and inhabitants of the neighbouring village of Moria, she accused the government of "turning the refugee crisis into a humanitarian crisis" and of sacrificing the islands, as well as an inability to manage EU funds.
She also accused Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and main opposition New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis of failing to bring up the issue during their talks with European counterparts:
"Our islands are the border and territory of the European Union and cannot be treated as though they are a third country," she said.

Should you use the weight loss shakes only as a last resort?
You need to keep in mind that among the many different methods which are available to lose weight, weight loss shakes are one such method as well. They are pretty effective. Still this weight loss method is not that mainstream. The reason for this can be confusion in the mind of the consumers as well. That is why, whenever you're thinking about utilizing the weight loss shakes like lineshake funciona, it is the right solution. However, when you look at the priority of the consumers, you will realize that very few consumers actually take into account the weight loss shakes as a weight loss mechanism.
We will today share with you a few tips with the help of which, you will be able to use weight loss shakes as a proper mechanism.
1. Preferring it over a diet plan:
In the diet plan, you have to change each and everything. On the other hand, when it comes to the weight loss shakes, you will not have to change all of this. You will just have to consume the weight loss shakes. Your appetite will decrease by itself. As a result, it will become much easier for you to reduce the amount of calories which you consume. This will also mean that you are able to reduce weight quite quickly as well.
2. Flavorful:
When you look at the flavor of the weight loss shakes, you will again realize that the flavor is also pretty good enough. In most of the cases, when you're switching over the diet, you will not be able to get such a strong flavor. Same cannot be said about the weight loss shakes. The weight loss shakes are available in many different flavors. You can choose your favorite flavor as well. When you are able to choose your favorite flavor, it will automatically become much easier for you to have tasty weight loss shakes as well. Thus, you will not have to lose taste as well.
3. Easy to carry:
You need to understand that you will not have to carry multiple things. You can carry these weight loss shakes in a single bottle. They are pretty easy to carry.
Thus, when you're looking into the advantages of weight loss shakes, you will realize that they are plenty. That is why, instead of keeping them as a last resort, it is a much better idea to utilize them as the only resort. When you are able to utilize them as a healthy option, it will become easier for you to use the weight loss shakes.

Dragonfly Boatworks debuted its latest kayak model (Fly Fisher) last Saturday at the Backcountry Kayak Tournament in Vero Beach. A 10-15 knot north wind kept everything cool but still, after a full day's fishing, Capt. Bobby Fletcher was glad to have the help of a propulsion system to get him back to the dock. The kayak is stealthy. It can sneak up on snook, redfish and trout. You can make use of the motor which allows
two hands free to fish and reel in those prizes. The leaning post gives you the option to stand as you spot fish and cast.
A good time was had by all…it's fun to fish in challenging conditions. Better yet were the super prizes from The Backcountry.

How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia
This novel is written in a self-help format that puts you in the shoes of the main character. I was a really big fan of this style of writing since it felt almost like a virtual reality experience.
The story is about the life of a boy from a poor family who eventually creates a successful water business. We drop into his life at significant junctures all the way from childhood until an elderly age. All along the way, the pretty girl from his teenage years reemerges in his life and they both escape to the past together.
I really liked this book. It was a great read that ultimately was about the different paths that we go down and how our stories will sometimes intersect with each other's. Success comes at the expense of a lot of other things and shouldn't be pursued just for the sake of it.
It's a view into the values of someone looking to rise in a developing country. The protagonist has to give up many of his connections to the past to obtain his new life in the city. He ends up being a "success" in the business sense, but his relationship with his family becomes estranged. It's a bittersweet ending; but then again, isn't every story?

Mindfulness is a practice, and as such requires nearly constant action.
But it's easy, even tempting to get lazy and slack off about it. I've been a student of it for almost a decade now, and still make plenty of mistakes like this.
But, thankfully, I'm not without help I can turn to.
Just today, @mindfulleveryday gave me just that kind of help.
They tweeted this:
Peace of mind cannot be attained, only obstructed.
So true. Mindfulness does bring much change to my life, often in slow increments, but peace of mind is not one of those slow boils.
It's INSTANTANEOUS, on one condition. I have to allow that it is so.
You can't plan to get out of your own way. You can't regret that you didn't, on pain of still doing it.
You can't start doing it.
You can't stop not doing it.
There is only doing it, or not.

Women in Construction Week: Spotlight on Intern Adriana
To continue the celebration of Women in Construction Week 2018, we are excited to shine a spotlight on one of our female interns, Adriana Amaya. Born in El Salvador, Adriana and her family moved to the United States when she was 4 years old. Raised in Bowie, Maryland, she attended Bowie High School, graduating in the top 5% of her class. With a strong passion for architecture from an early age, Adriana spent many hours designing and building models for her classes, and sometimes just for fun.
During her first semester at Prince George's Community College (PGCC), Adriana attended a career fair where she was encouraged to pursue an internship in construction. The construction industry could offer her invaluable experience and a new perspective on the structures she had drawn and designed on paper. Realizing how fulfilling this opportunity could prove to be, Adriana interviewed for an internship with Coakley & Williams Construction that same day and started working on site with us just a few days later.
"Each day I learn something new. The CWC team has been so great and each [person] has taken their time to explain every aspect of the project, the submittal process, RFI's, and scheduling," says Adriana. "I feel as though Construction has allowed me to see the different side in comparison to Architecture, which is something I know I have to consider soon as I rise up the ladder."
Adriana's internship on CWC's most recent higher education project, the PGCC Culinary Arts Center, helped her understand the foundation of construction as well as the elements and time it takes to construct a building. The 22,000 sf facility provides students the opportunity to work in a realistic, professional setting with five state-of-the art instructional kitchens equipped with the latest kitchen equipment, offices, classroom space and culinary labs for students to be successful in learning every aspect of cooking. "It is really exciting to see the design come into place and how it will motivate students to join the culinary arts path."
Adriana will begin pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture when she transfers to the University of Maryland next spring. Adriana's experience with Coakley & Williams Construction will have a lasting impact on her career. "Construction has allowed me to see another side and I really like it, it feels nice to see what the Project Managers and Superintendents do and just being able to walk out on site and see the actual result is amazing."
We are proud of Adriana's accomplishments both in the classroom and on the job site and wish her great success in her construction career. We hope for the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Press release by Aflasafe.
If we have a powerful and effective research-proven solution to a chronic global problem, potentially affecting us all through the food we eat, how do we best ensure that solution reaches those that most need it in the real world?
We answer that question, as Aflasafe steps firmly onto the world stage today at a panel discussion during the 2017 Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium. The event is held in conjunction with the presentation of the World Food Prize. Join us – virtually or in-person – as we trace the track trodden by the Aflasafe Technology Transfer and Commercialisation Project (ATTC). We'll 'unpackage' that abbreviation and examine ATTC's dynamic design, how project partners work together to build successful public–private partnerships, and progress on goals.
"There are many great technologies being developed by research organisations, but we must change our thinking on how to get them to market," says Mr Abdou Konlambigue, ATTC Managing Director. "We are realising that there is a vibrant private sector in Africa ready – and eager for opportunities – to play their due role."
The Borlaug Dialogue is a prestigious event that brings together the luminaries of the food world. Attendees come from diverse disciplines – ranging from politics to science, and from funding to farming. This year's theme is The Road out of Poverty, harnessing the power of approaching agriculture as a business.
"There is a tremendous momentum, with everyone across different organisations talking about agricultural transformation rather than agricultural development" says Mr Konlambigue. "We are seizing the moment and actively engaging in that discussion at both the global and Africa level."
ATTC is implemented by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in collaboration with Chemonics International and Dalberg Global Development Advisors, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health. Representatives from most of these organisations will be on the panel. The project aims to commercialise Aflasafe by helping make the business case for sustainable private-sector systems for Aflasafe's production and distribution. Cutting aflatoxin contamination in maize and groundnuts by between 80 and 100%, Aflasafe has the potential not only to avert chronic health disasters but also to create prosperity for millions of African farmers and entrepreneurs in the agriculture and food industries. In Nigeria alone, the negative economic and monetised health impact of aflatoxin in 2014 was a staggering USD 985 million (1.2% of total GDP).
"A great product is not enough," explains Dr Ranajit Bandyopadhyay, Principal Scientist (Plant Pathology) and Research Leader of the Africa-wide Aflasafe Initiative at IITA. Together with Dr Peter Cotty of the United States Department of Agriculture – Agriculture Research Service, and in partnership with several institutions, Dr Bandyopadhyay was one of the scientists instrumental in developing Aflasafe. "The next step is sometimes even more difficult. We scientists can't do it by ourselves. It is like a relay race: we pass on the baton to someone else with the right expertise, but we also stand by, ready to take the baton again when required. Product R&D never completely stops; IITA is committed to providing ongoing support in both R&D and commercialisation as needed over the years to come." This support is provided for in the fees schedule of the Aflasafe technology transfer licences and agreements.
At first glance, Aflasafe is admittedly a difficult product to market, since aflatoxin contamination is invisible, and a safe harvest looks no different. Sadly, it is also true that toxic grain can easily be sold on African markets, making it difficult – if not impossible – to easily and readily trigger any economic incentive for farmers and farm businesses to invest in Aflasafe. This does not however mean that we shy away but rather that we rise up to the challenge, well aware of the terrain – and our ultimate aim.
"The key to our approach is that we are looking directly at incentives," says Mr Mario Kerby, Director, West Africa and Haiti at Chemonics International. "We are not interested in the dependency model of giving hand-outs to farmers, because it's not sustainable. Instead we reach them through economics, and focus on key market segments to drive early adoption. The strategy in each country is different – for example, in Nigeria the biggest demand for aflatoxin-safe maize is from the poultry industry, where its use in feed gives a clear economic advantage. They have an interest in promoting Aflasafe and they act as our anchor buyers. On the other hand, in Senegal, it is exporters who are very keen to buy groundnuts that meet the strict standards of markets like the European Union, and our partners BAMTAARE Services are investing in a production plant. In the longer term, we are also working to raise awareness amongst farmers of the health and income advantages of Aflasafe."
These private-sector partnerships not only ensure rapid and sustainable market growth, but also offer research organisations the possibility of diversifying their income streams. "We are crossing the divide between science and business, and in the end everybody wins," says Mr Kerby.
ATTC is like the traditional three-legged African stool, with each partner making an essential contribution to successful commercialisation. While IITA brings its research and development expertise and the Aflasafe product itself, Dalberg Global Development Advisors craft strategies for each country and Chemonics International leads the practical implementation of those strategies on the ground.
Another key aspect – in both session panellists and ATTC itself – is the inclusion of funders as an integral part of the team. "People often see funders as sitting on the other side, just providing the money," says Mr Konlambigue. "The big change with ATTC is that we really work hand-in-hand with funders. We jointly design the approach each business case requires, they advise us through challenges and help us tap into their vast networks and on-the-ground intelligence. No one is dictating the agenda but everyone is contributing to our mutual success."
ATTC has already surpassed its 2017 goal of 100,000 hectares of land treated with Aflasafe. Its 2020 vision is to reach half-a-million hectares in 11 countries across Africa. ATTC has formally instituted distribution and manufacturing partnerships in three countries, with more expected by the end of the year. Sustaining this progress is the tough work ahead, for which we are rolling up our sleeves and applying elbow grease, as we continue on our way along the road out of poverty.
"One of the early lessons we've learnt is that we have to be nimble and ready to adapt," says Mr Kerby. "Senegal, for example, was the third country where we began the commercialisation process, but it is now the furthest ahead. There will always be unexpected challenges, but we need to be ready to seize the opportunities."

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is looking to spread its wings over Gujarat as the party has decided to contest the upcoming Assembly elections in the BJP-ruled state to be held in December 2017.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is AAP's national convener, will embark on a two-day visit to Gujarat on 8 and 9 July, where he will formally launch his party's campaign for the 182-seat Assembly polls, after paying obeisance at the Somnath temple in Saurashtra, said sources.
During the two-day visit, Kejriwal is slated to meet his party cadre and leaders.
He will be accompanied by AAP state convener Kanubhai Kansariya, a former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA and confidante of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat. Meanwhile, AAP, which has already started expanding its base in the state, has appointed Delhi MLA Gulab Singh as central in-charge of Gujarat Affairs in view of the Assembly polls.

I'm watching the Fox game (Yanks/Orioles–yeah, now it's OK for me to see the O's), and Joe Buck is saying his usual silly stuff. Just now: "Lots of people said it was a fluke last year when the Orioles went 29-9 in one-run games, and 16-2 in extra inning games, but they've shown that's not true. Their bullpen is good."
So I went here, and this year the O's are 12-11 in one-run games, and 5-3 in extras. So yeah, Joe, last year was a total fluke. They still have a good record, but their bullpen is 14th in ERA and batting average alllowed, and 18th in on-base-plus-slugging allowed. Mediocre at best; not hurting the team, but not a key to their success.
I don't watch a ton of football or basketball games, but the announcers don't often strike me as guys who don't get stats, or who misuse stats. But some baseball announcers seem proud of their inability to understand stats.

It's Time To Challenge Aaron Rodgers
"I desperately want to be coached."
That's what Aaron Rodgers told The Monday Morning Quarterback last September. It's time for someone to do it.
No sensible person would disagree that Rodgers needs to play at his best for the Packers to have a true shot at a Super Bowl. In 2010, he did just that. Rodgers played probably the best stretch of football we've seen from him, at least in terms of his dominance when it was needed most. Just thinking about his evisceration of the Atlanta Falcons still makes me smile.
Rodgers playing at 90% probably gets you to the NFC Championship game. Hobbled by a calf injury but still playing well, that's probably what we saw in 2014.
Rodgers last year wasn't close to either of those performances. The Packers, as a result, weren't close to that level of success, even with two Hail Mary pases.
It's time for someone to do something about it.
Is Aaron Rodgers in decline?
I have previously scoffed at rumors of Rodgers' decline.
In August, I responded to some analysis by Greg Cosell about Rodgers' playing style. He described Rodgers as a "jazz beat" player, someone who operates at his best outside the structure of a play.
Then and now I agree that there's something to that analogy; Rodgers makes incredible plays when he's not working in the structure of a play.
But I wonder if he's trying to do it too much.
Last year, we saw repeated examples of Rodgers bailing on plays, trying to make something happen, and being unable to connect on a key play. His fundamentals were all over the place, seemingly trying to perform the NFL's equivalent of the NBA's much-derided "hero ball."
The deciding play of last season's de facto NFC North title game comes to mind. Trailing by seven with just over two minutes left, Rodgers failed to set his feet appropriately and tried to throw across his body to James Jones in the end zone. The pass was intercepted and Minnesota was able to run enough time off the clock to put the game out of reach for Green Bay.
If Rodgers had been able to plant and throw the ball on a line to Jones' outside shoulder, there's a good chance he could have completed it. Instead, the Vikings found themselves atop the NFC North.
So, who should be coaching Rodgers?
Early returns on the 2016 version of Rodgers aren't much different, and we saw many of the same bad habits early in last week's Jaguars game. Far too often, Rodgers broke away from a play early on and tried to make something happen.
He got away with it against Jacksonville, but I'm not sure the same thing works against a much better Minnesota defense. It didn't last year at Lambeau Field.
Someone has to help Rodgers break these habits. If he truly believes what he said last year and he really does love to be coached, that person should be Mike McCarthy.
But if McCarthy speaks, will Rodgers listen?
Other quarterbacks have, including Rodgers' predecessor.
In 2006, Brett Favre returned to the Packers despite his declared reluctance to learn a new offensive system. He'd thrown 67 interceptions the previous three seasons, and it was McCarthy's job to rein him in.
He did.
Favre's interception percentage dropped from an average of 4.1% from 2003 through 2005 to 2.9% in 2006 and 2.8% in 2007, McCarthy's first two years on the job. Despite early resistance, McCarthy was able to help the three-time MVP regain some of his previous form.
Rodgers rarely makes the same sort of spectacular mistakes that Favre did, but they can be very similar in other respects.
Both make tremendous plays outside the pocket when a play breaks down. Both have a serious distrust for young receivers (the USA Today said that part of the blame for Favre's 29 interception season in 2005 was throwing to "young receivers with whom he wasn't familiar".) Both have a near photographic memory.
And both have holes in their game that a competent coach can and should correct.
It's time for someone on the Packers to challenge Aaron Rodgers and help him do just that.

AbstractThis project considers the literary debts of Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene to a handful of Victorian artists, mostly protestant, with special emphasis on Charles Dickens. Chapter 1 introduces the novelists and addresses objections to my thesis. Chapter 2 is a literature review on the English Catholic literary renaissance at the turn of the twentieth century. Chapters 3 and 4 develop a theory and definition of the Catholic novel, focusing on the problem of literary and philosophical realism, Flannery O'Connor's conception of "anagogical vision," and Jacques Maritain's writings on art and the novel as a literary form. Chapters 5 and 6 in turn analyze several books, both fiction and non-fiction, by Waugh and Greene.
