Boys at Stewart’s Melville College are able to participate in a wide variety of sports and, whether our boys want to compete internationally or simply enjoy recreational sport, many take inspiration from the School’s sporting greats, including 6 British Lions, and Olympians including David Florence and David Willkie. This legacy serves to encourage every boy to develop his talents and strive to be the best he can be.
A total of 63 teams covering 14 sports represented Stewart’s Melville College last session including 27 rugby teams which were supported by 30 members of staff. Over 550 boys represented the school in one or more sports' fixtures against other schools.
Boys regularly represent their country at national level in sports including hockey, rugby and football. Recent Former Pupils who have gone on to follow a career in sport include David Florence, a slalom canoeist who was the 2013 and 2015 world champion in individual canoe slalom and silver medallist at the Rio Olympic Games and 2013 pairs canoe slalom champion, middle-distance runner Jake Wightman, Walker Cup golfer Grant Forrest and captain of the Scotland Rugby 7s team, Scott Riddell.
While we achieve many local and national successes at the very highest level, our large number of teams means that boys who want to play a particular sport simply to have the opportunity to be part of a team and play in competitions are able to do so. They enjoy opportunities which would not be available to them at a smaller school, so sport really is for everyone at Stewart’s Melville College.

Richard Owen Roberts, president and founder of International Awakening Ministries, is the keynote speaker for the annual “Awaken” prayer gathering, scheduled for March 8-9 at Pleasant Garden Baptist Church near Greensboro. The event is free, and a love offering will be received.
A special pre-conference dialogue and dinner with Roberts on Friday, March 8 from 3-6 p.m. is open to pastors, ministry leaders and prayer leaders. The dialogue session and dinner are free, but registration is required. Learn more and register at ncbaptist.org/awaken.
Roberts is one of the leading authorities on the subject of revival and spiritual awakening throughout the world. He has had a passion and burden for revival and spiritual awakening since he was a teenager and believes that the Lord wants to send revival to the church and spiritual awakening to the culture once again in America.
The Lord wants to send revival to the church and spiritual awakening to the culture once again in America.
How long have you had a deep burden to see revival and spiritual awakening?
Ever since I was a young man and called to preach. It’s actually been over 70 years now, and the burden has never waned but increased. After I preached my first sermon at a home for the aged when I was 13-years-old, God, through the work and manifestation of His Spirit, began focusing my heart toward the need for revival among God’s people.
Has God used other people or writings to influence your ministry toward revival and spiritual awakening?
Yes, indeed He has. He used an obscure writing on revival by Albert Barnes called “The Theory and Disirableness of Revivals”to really grab my heart about the great need for revival among God’s people and how God uses revival as a catalyst for spiritual awakening and evangelism among those who are lost. I am sure that God also used the prayers of my grandparents — my father’s parents — who were from Wales, which is called the “Land of Revivals” to impact my spiritual life and desire to see revival. Wales experienced some 50-60 significant revival movements from 1500-1910, including the 1904-05 Welsh Revival. I was actually named after a popular Welsh revivalist from the 1800s, Richard Owen.
Is revival different from spiritual awakening?
Yes. Revival is for the church and is what takes place when the church is renewed and restored in its relationship with the Lord as He draws near through His manifest, holy presence. Spiritual awakening refers to what takes place in the surrounding world or lost culture. Both are something that only God can accomplish as He manifests His presence with and through His people and among the lost multitudes. As God’s Word takes root in revival among His people a healthy awe and fear of God sweeps His people and subsequently the surrounding lost world as many are converted to Christ. People who had no interest in Christ days before suddenly become open to the preaching of God’s Word and salvation. It is a truly wonderful thing.
Are you hopeful that God will send revival and spiritual awakening to sweep the American church and nation?
Yes, I am. I am not saying that we are on the brink of revival, but God is definitely raising up individual believers who are waking up to the reality of God’s judgment on the church and nation as a whole and the utter hopeless state we are in apart from a sovereign work of God through revival and spiritual awakening. These individuals believe in what God can do. They see it and are passionately praying, longing for and hanging on to God and His Word that He will suddenly draw near to His people in revival, which ultimately will result in a great spiritual awakening among those who are lost.
We are looking forward to you being with us in North Carolina for the “Awaken”prayer gathering March 8-9. What do you hope attendees will glean from our time together?
That the greatest need for believers today is to return to Christ in holiness. Holiness is the result of God’s reviving work in their lives. Holiness also produces a life of righteous living and Christlikeness which results in an unwavering obedience to God and His Word and a holy fear and reverence of God. That’s when the lost world takes notice of who God is and their need for Christ.
Join us Mar. 8-9 for this statewide prayer gathering.
Would be there but it’s the same weekend as the East Coast Mens Conference in Rocky Mount that I’ve been attending for many years. I’ll be praying for the event.

The commercial card industry includes what can be described as some major product segments, of which fleet cards (also generally known as fuel cards) are a component part, albeit a unique one that we categorize under specialty cards or solutions. Mercator Advisory Group normally defines commercial cards from the perspective of mid-to-large market buyers (the end users of the card payment products) and reports regularly on the credit-related major branded networks and issuers of corporate and purchasing card-related products. Since fleet card is a unique segment of the overall space, it is defined differently by different issuers so we track it separately.
Fleet card issuers have certain common competitive targets and issuer focus (i.e., purchase volume, number of cards issued, and number of vehicles), and the nature of the fleet card market is such that many proprietary measures are also used, particularly by closed-loop issuers. These measures add to the complexity of any analysis of this segment.
Mercator Advisory Group last measured the fleet card market in March 2015, examining 2014 data and using a comprehensive definition of commercial fleet in a report titled U.S. Fleet Card Market: The Need for Competitive Differentiation. Because many of the fundamental industry definitions and market dynamics remain mostly unchanged, they are not revisited in the present report.
In the present report, we review the current market size of the major network players. After a comparison of the fleet card market to the other segments of the U.S. commercial credit card market, the focus turns to the evolving needs of commercial fleets. We analyze the current position of the major networks supporting fleet cards in the United States. The report also addresses some of the key factors that have an impact on the fleet market now and into the future, providing insights into variables that concern fleet executives.
The analysis contained in this report, The U.S. Fleet Card Market Still Has Legs, focuses on the U.S. market and in many cases may be applicable to the broader North American continent. The major proprietary network operators continue to expand their international focus, setting up partnerships and business exploration in Europe, Asia, and South America. We will address the nuances of these markets in other ongoing research.

Decisions, Decisions! Experience does count!
Over 55s most likely to change their driving behaviour following an accident.
Today, insurance provider Rias showcases the UK’s best decision makers on the nation’s roads. Every single day in Britain there are serious car crashes, with over 25,000 people being killed and severely injured each year1. Road users’ abilities to make quick, careful decisions can literally mean the difference between life and death.
Working with the Driving Doctor, Dr Paul Ripley, Rias asked over 2,000 UK drivers who drive regularly to review a number of driving situations and choose the option they would undertake if behind the wheel2. It’s clear some people need to brush up on their driving theory to help make Britain’s roads safer.
It’s speed ahead of accuracy for younger drivers, with 17 – 24 year old drivers the second quickest, yet the least accurate.
New laws are now in force, imposing greater fines and giving motorists six points on their licence, as driving whilst using a mobile phone has been recognised as one of the main driving distractions in the UK – and drivers who have passed their test within two years of being caught will lose their licence3. Over half of the UK’s drivers (55%) would not pull over and stop when safe to do so to make a call when running late for an appointment. Almost one quarter (24%) of young drivers (17 – 24 year olds) said they’d use a hands-free device to warn people that they would be late – the highest proportion of all age groups – even though the police can still stop and prosecute motorists if they think drivers are not in control and distracted.
In the dark: 25% of Londoners don’t think anything of driving at night without any lights on – the highest number in the UK.

Home Health Do You Head for Your Bed When You Feel Sick?
Do You Head for Your Bed When You Feel Sick?
Will Bed Rest Help You Get Better?
Remember the last time you had the flu or a cold? Do you think you heal faster by staying in bed for a day or two or going to work? An extensive review of the medical literature published in the British medical journal, Lancet, showed that there is no evidence that bed rest helps you heal faster from any medical condition.
During World War II, American soldiers were drafted and sent to do their basic training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center before they were sent to fight in Europe. A major epidemic of flu occurred affecting almost all the troops.
Half of the soldiers were kept in bed, while the other half stayed in the vigorous exercise of basic training. Both groups required the same amount of time to recover, although those forced to undergo the rigorous demands of preparing for war complained more.
In the Lancet report, researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia searched the medical literature from 1966 to the present and found only 39 studies testing whether bed rest benefited any medical condition. 24 studies showed that bed rest was of little or no benefit in preventing side effects of medical procedures such as spinal anesthesia, spinal fluid withdrawal, and multiple x-ray procedures.
Fifteen studies showed no benefit in treating medical conditions such as low back pain, spontaneous labor, high blood pressure during pregnancy, uncomplicated heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis or infectious hepatitis.
From 1900 to the 1940′s, two months of enforced bed rest was routinely prescribed following a heart attack. Several studies showed that men who were put at bed rest after a heart attack, were more likely to die than those who were active, so doctors responded by shortening bed rest from two months to two weeks. In 1955, US President Dwight Eisenhower was playing golf when he complained of pain in his chest and belly. His doctors diagnosed a heart attack and ordered immediate bed rest and kept him in bed for several days.
His doctors were afraid to let Eisenhower out of bed and were so concerned about his electrocardiogram that they called in the world-famous cardiologist Paul Dudley White. The first thing that Dr. White did was check Eisenhower’s electrocardiogram and the second thing he did was to get Eisenhower out of bed and walking.
Then the news media throughout the world carried stories of how President Eisenhower was ordered out of bed after having a heart attack.
President Eisenhower recovered and went on to continue serving as president through a second term. This prompted more studies to be done which showed that bed rest can kill. Now doctors get people up after heart attacks as soon as they think that it is safe to do so, often within 12 to 24 hours.
Another study showed that exercise helps cancer patients recover faster and improve their lifestyles and attitudes. These studies do not suggest that you should exercise when you feel miserable. They show that there is no evidence that staying in bed helps you heal faster.
So the next time you feel sick, you can stay in bed if you like, but there is no evidence that it will help you get better faster.

We all know that bad breath or halitosis is offensive. And it's no laughing matter because an estimated 6 million of us have chronic bad breath. Dentist Dr Geoffrey Speiser told Today Tonight that he gets emails from people every day telling him that bad breath has ruined their relationships. He says some have even contemplated suicide.
"Bad breath can be taken the wrong way" says Dr Speiser "We see bad breath as a bacterial balance but the general public see bad breath as a hygiene issue. So someone who has bad breath may have spotless hygiene but they would be seen as dirty." Doctor Speiser has bad breath on his nose every day but thanks to a new bad breath tester, one of only two in Australia, he is fighting the good fight against one of the biggest and smelliest problems in our society.
Doctor Speiser says they take a sample of air from the patients mouth, that's put into a special machine that breaks it down into the three main gases of bad breath .... eight minutes later you have a result. Mouthwash seems to be the preferred panacea for most Australians with bad breath but Dr Speiser says the battle that one in three Australians suffer from can't be won with a gargle.
"Toothpaste mouthwash mints they are all just cover ups ... they have a strong mint flavour, they have perfumes on them, they don't disguise the sickly sweet smell of bad breath." There is now a treatment in the form of a powder and chewable tablets that give bad breath patients a dose of "good" bacteria. "You take a dose of that every day to make that the dominant bacteria in your mouth" says Doctor Speiser "and following the lifestyle things ...avoiding your proteins, having good healthy gums, cleaning your tongue ... will result in fresh breath."
The main thing to remember is that bad breath is treatable.
Dr Speiser undertakes the "breath consultations" at his Edgecliff clinic. Patients undergo personalised lifestyle examination, saliva quality testing, breath testing and dental examination (if necessary) to determine the best possible treatment for the patient. Such consultations are only necessary for patients that are severely chronic, or who might have associated medical conditions that may hamper treatment. Dr Speiser has been able to develop complete systems that are effective for the majority of people without the need or added expense of a personal visit.
BreezeCare is a specialised dental company developing professional treatments and remedies for the embarrassing conditions of "bad breath", "halitosis", "dry mouth", and "post nasal drip"

Their bright, pink-sided truck is hard to miss – complete with flame décor, of course – and if you do miss out, it’s a huge loss for your taste buds!
In the business of making fresh food daily since 1982, Mitch Smith and his wife, Rita, began their culinary business venture with old-fashioned drive-ins. You may know and love them from T.J.’s Deli & Grill in Winston-Salem, but now, they have taken a leap into the popular food truck arena. They are serving a mouth-watering menu at a variety of venues around town – breweries, wineries, festivals and local corporate events, loving the fact that they are a small business promoting other small businesses, as well. If you’re looking for a fun twist to your reception fare – and if you don’t know what a cham burger is – read on!
This new venture is a labor of love for Mitch, and now his daughter, Elizabeth, who has embraced the food truck role with boundless energy.
He also knows she will be met with huge success. “When it is not up to her standards, the food is simply remade,” said Mitch.
Through social media and recommendations from a loyal base of long-time customers of T.J.’s Deli & Grill, the new Hunger Flames food truck is booking quickly, and they are anxious to offer a slightly different option for engaged couples looking for a new twist on cuisine for their rehearsal dinner or reception.
The possibilities are endless; from simple, but amazing, gourmet grilled cheeses and soup bar to grilled marinated salmon on a bed of greens and all their signature favorites in between. Think tater tots with chili, cheese, sour cream and chives, indescribable gravy fries, hand-patted burgers made from fresh ground chuck (even a pimento cheese version), buffalo chicken tender wraps and the wildly popular cham and buffalo cham burgers. For you beginners, that’s fresh chicken dipped in a buttermilk batter, deep fried and topped with grilled, smoked ham and melted smoked provolone, served on a premium bun.
Mitch says he’s catered many traditional weddings through the years, plus more casual cookouts, and he knows that food and fellowship can be the real heart of the event. The truck’s most recent addition would be a delightful element for any rehearsal dinner, wedding reception or post-wedding party – locally made ice cream! It’s always been a favorite at T.J.’s Deli, and both Mitch and Elizabeth agreed it was an obvious choice to add to the food truck menu.
“We just did an event for 540 folks where we set up an ice cream sundae bar with three flavors of ice cream and all the fixings,” said Mitch. Their plan is to add a colorful ice cream cart with a colorful umbrella – wouldn’t that be charming at your outdoor wedding gathering?
For weddings, Hunger Flames suggests booking the food truck three months in advance. A typical visit to your event is four hours with services and menu options scaled to fit your event style and food tastes.
See why these food experts have been a part of customer’s celebrations for more than 35 years, with a tasting from the Hunger Flames Food Truck. Call them at 336.542.6836 for availability, rates and menu options, visit T.J.’s Deli & Grill at 5017 Country Club Road in Winston-Salem or visit the website at tjsdeligrill.com.

Because I know a lot of regular readers of this site are big fans of making use of the FOIA, a couple thoughts notes on the subject, which is one that has long been of interest to me.
As I noted a while ago DHS is improving their FOIA processing, with a whole set of performance goals that are supposed to be met, complete with deadlines. As the middle of the calendar year (more or less), June 30th is the deadline for a lot of these improvements – notably, more user-friendly websites, but also the dissemination of basic “FOIA 101” information to all employees.
Some components are already well on their way to meeting their end-of-June goals; others, it looks like, will be cutting it close. DHS itself is hardly leading by example; as of this afternoon, their website has yet to be updated, and as of last week they were refusing to release their two “FOIA 101” documents under the FOIA (oh, the irony) because they were still in draft form and “pre-decisional”, thereby exempt (so they claim) from release. We’ll see how things fare as the deadline looms closer.
One DHS component who are on the ball is – not surprisingly – the relatively unknown FLETC, whose webpage contains pretty much everything it’s supposed to.
Reading through their FOIA Guide, I was struck by something interesting in their fee structure. All government agencies can (and do) charge fees to process FOIA requests. For most of us, the fees for the first two hours of searches are waived, as are the duplication costs (which range from ten to twenty-five cents per page) for the first one-hundred pages. Beyond that, though, most agencies have a minimum amount they’ll assess fees for, and will waive any that fall under that. For the FBI, it’s ten bucks; for DHS, twelve – and for the FLETC, a quite impressive $25.
Here’s the interesting thing, though – not all agencies count the first one-hundred pages of photocopies as truly “free” – most simply waive the fees for them. The FBI is a good example – at ten cents per page, one-hundred pages is ten dollars, the amount under which they waive fees. That 101st page is, essentially, $10.10 – and all subsequent pages are ten cents each.
The FLETC, though, counts the first hundred pages as outright freebies, additional pages at $0.15 each – and waives any fees under $25. So, in essence, the first two-hundred sixty-six pages released in response to any request there (exclusive of any other fees) are free. Nice.
The ostensible reason for the minimum fees is (everyone claims) because it costs a certain minimum amount of money to track, process, and account for payments received. The usual example given is that it costs the FBI, say, ten bucks to process your cheque for FOIA fees, regardless of amount, so they’d rather take a loss on, say, eight bucks of fees than spend another ten bucks to collect that eight. There seems to be a certain logic flaw there that I can’t put my finger on, but fiduciary maths is not one of my strongest suits.
Something I have noticed, which pretty much all government agencies are guilty of, is that fee schedules have yet to be updated to reflect the technology age, let alone the 21st century. It isn’t at all uncommon to receive records in response to FOIA requests on CD-ROMs or even DVDs (or, indeed, floppy disks or even magnetic tape.) While you can fit a whole lot of stuff on media like this, I’ve yet to see an agency fee schedule that lists the price of such media.
In the computer-centric environment of today, most government records (though by no means all) originate, at least, in electronic form. To save time, money, and trees, I habitually ask for records “in electronic format, if possible” if they’re reasonably short, and it isn’t uncommon to receive responses as email attachments.
In closing, a fun trivia fact for anyone who has ever requested, or viewed, older (roughly pre-1980) government records – way back when the rest of the United States had standardized on two paper sized, “letter” (8-1/2 by 11 inches) and “legal” (8-1/2 by 14 inches), the Government standardized, for no very good reason, on their own size of 8×10.5 inches. This is why you frequently see a black border around photocopies of old Army, or FBI, or whatever, documents – they weren’t photocopied at 95% enlargement, as some have supposed, but copied onto the standard, letter-sized paper now used.

It is much cheaper (50–70% cheaper) to fly to Europe, the UAE and sometimes North America than it is to fly within the African continent.
There’s a couple of challenges bundled in there. Visas and free movement of people are the subject of many African Union gatherings and regional meetings of states. The continent’s wealthiest man, Aliko Dangote’s bemoaned that he has to get 38 visas to travel across Africa. Given the power of his Nigerian visa, it should come as no surprise North Americans have an easier time moving around Africans than he or I do.
The “all-Africa” passport was launched with fanfare in July 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda with heads of state, ministers and top diplomats topping of the list to get the border-opening booklet. I’m grateful, that we live in a world where the main way Africans travel across borders is virtually. Despite their own digital enclaves, a digital identity continues to crop up and form around generation Y and those with access to the internet, specifically, and mobile phones generally.
Siyanda Mohutsiwa and her journey from the timeline to the TED stage is a good example.
Of this new digital economy, one of my favourite quotes comes from Wizkid who said “…my music travel, no visa.” Speaking to the power and vision of the connected and digital economy. He is welcome and has seen crowds across the continent that don’t speak his language but sing his lyrics.
Vision, in this interconnected age, grows in depth and meaning. Especially when it is African-led.
Even as times continue to change and the cost and ease of travel changes, Africa still shares some common challenges that we’re solving as independent states and as a collective continent.
Besides the movement of people, healthcare continues to be one of Africa’s greatest challenges. Strides have been made, but for the connected, this doesn’t often register as a place to look besides ‘viral’ medical appeal campainand personal circumstances.
I, for one, didn’t have much of a connection to healthcare until 2012.
Between 2012 and 2015 I began a consulting project as Digital & Creative Advisor for MamaYe.org, a 5-year maternal and newborn healthcare project across 5 countries. For me, it represented an unprecedented opportunity to discover the continent and export my ideas and vision within the project.
Government: engaging with policymakers, legislators and ministries. Ensuring that coherent and comprehensive masterplans are conceptualised and rallying political capital to implement them.
Healthcare: From public service to practitioners, seeking to engage those who deliver care to citizens. From deans at medical schools, all the way to training midwives and community health workers. The spectrum explores and includes everything around primary caregivers and the value systems of logistics, education, storage and seeks to deliver healthcare outcomes.
Mamaye’s approach, with advocacy as the tip of the spear, aimed at the public. The public, the hypothesis presented, were the ‘missing middle’ in the equation involving government and the healthcare sector.
The public, with local communities, taxes and active participation, could drive demand and accountability, even from local government. Engaging with the various forms of government to fulfil the central mandate when it comes to healthcare outcomes. The public could, in the right circumstance, instigate demand-side outcomes. Publics are also the recipients in the healthcare process. They can be mobilised, engaged and rallied to participate collectively raising their expectations of maternal and newborn healthcare and survival.
At a broader level, MamaYe was not isolationist. It still engaged both the government and healthcare sectors, respectively. One key approach was reframing the narrative in maternal and newborn healthcare. Shifting from severity and mortality to success and survival.
While it might sound obvious, this vision would bring strong consequences. It was not just paying lip service, either. It meant taking complex Excel spreadsheets of data and finding a narrative that was able to convey the facts in a compelling way, often data visualisation, while still evoking a sense of urgency. All the while not succumbing to a focus on mortality but a balance including best practice.
The vision would need a narrative-driven approach to ensure that the core ideas behind the campaign would ‘stick’ through evidence-based solutions and strategies.
Seeing this through, from finding brand & creative partners across the continent, to delivering a Pan-African digital strategy and coaching and leading teams across the continent would help me appreciate the opportunities technology has brought while exposing me to the complex challenges of delivering healthcare on the continent. Ultimately, what I’m grateful for is the chance to travel.
I ended up travelling to 8 countries serving a committed global team and ambitious in-country teams. It involved working alongside doctors, nurses, midwives, ministers, development partners, youth groups and the public exploring how mobile technology, the internet, design and storytelling would advance MamaYe’s goals.
My excitement and optimism were fixed onto mobile penetration across the African continent. In Sierra Leone, for instance, a public-private partnership that I put together with Africell, the largest telco in the country, saw the firm donate billboards and out-of-home signage, ad-space on the city’s largest radio station and resources behind the locally-inspired advocacy ‘ask’ presented to the public. Blood donation to plug a seemingly perpetual shortfall for mothers suffering post-partum haemorrhaging and other complications was part of realising the country and Sierra Leone’s unique MamaYe outcomes.
Technology and mobile connectivity is a key part of realising the challenges of African healthcare. We still have far to go. Far, far to go.
In Johannesburg in 2011 at a keynote for the Mobile Web Africa, I’d been asked to define what would make the future of Africa’s Silicon Savannah. There I highlighted a future built on two kinds of software developers.
These were the young men and women building on the inflows of donor funding for hackathons and challenges. They were talented and pragmatic digital creators who would bag $10k prizes and build and ship prototypes in 48 hours or work in 2–3 month sprints to take ideas to market. They could shift from a focus on water to potholes to SMS updates in the span of a year. It proved to build out developers with experience in a broad set of skills and familiarity with a wide set of challenges and problems. Criticism might say that the concept led to a bevy of solutions that were an inch deep and a mile wide.
Product developers didn’t really make the headlines as much. They weren’t even always the centre of attention in the tech hubs. These were software developers who fell in love with a problem and the process for solving it. The larger the problem, the more compelling the proposition and the higher the chances of failure. Nevertheless, the more they persisted. Payments. e-Commerce. Connectivity. The cloud. Hard-won battles with key issues led to products and services that are around, and if not, the teams that created them may still be.
I stand by what I said 6 years ago. Between the two, there is none that is better or worse than the other. Healthcare’s come a long way on the continent. The problems in that sector aren’t obvious and might not bring a swarm of young minds into a room to solve them. They’d need someone to head out to do a design immersion into a community that’s repeatedly finding stockouts of key drugs and seeking an inventory system to manage them.
The vision, at times, can bring the people and catalyse change, despite the challenges and obstacles.
Last week, I had the chance to reflect on this and did so at The Lancet’s launch of their Commission on the Future of Health in Africa. It brought back all of the above memories. Their expectations and challenge to the rest of the continent rang true for both technology, as the very concept of “Silicon Savannah” comes under scrutiny from the rest of the continent.
Hearing from global health advocate Professor Peter Piot, excerpted from Unseen Enemy where he speaks to the transformational and viral power of infectious diseases in Africa. As much as developers and today’s storytellers are putting their work and minds to making things go viral, this speaks to a much different sense.
With a much more dangerous set of challenges.
Influenza finds its origins in birds. HIV’s origins have been traced to a chimpanzee group while ebola’s (origins) are thought to be attributed to a species of the fruit bat.
During my time at MamaYe, one story captivated me and formally introduced me to The Lancet. In the midst of transforming everyday people who, at times unbeknownst to them, were having a tremendous impact, I came across the story of Tanzanian Dr. Godfrey Mbaruku.
The story of his quiet, modest voice telling a powerful and enchanting tale of his time serving in a maternity ward in Kigoma in the remote western parts of Tanzania caught Ann Pettifor, my client’s attention.
His story, first seen in his own eyes as a punishment — being sent far from the major cities — led to two decades of improving outcomes for mothers & babies among Kigoma’s 1.2 million inhabitants.
The Commission’s focus on an African-vision captivates me for a number of reasons. It centres on Africa’s expectation that by 2050, the continent will have 450 million people under the age of 25. Referred to as Africa’s demographic dividend (or disaster if not managed appropriately) it is a rallying cry that will impact political leaders, healthcare practitioners and private sector as well as publics.
The Commission’s report focuses on ways to engage this audience in more than healthcare.
On the day of the launch, I was captivated by the focus on vision and consensus at a high level. There is even an explicit mention of the nuance and ownership required from country-to-country to fulfil that mandate.
The incorporation of “evidence-based optimism, with caution” strikes a chord with me. Ultimately, I’m of the opinion that the stories can help unpack the deeper insights, brought about by reflection and calculation, while making an invitation for collaboration and cooperation in future. There are very real challenges that I feel Product designers, developers and ‘makers’ can seek to solve for.
Bright Simons is someone that I believe has successfully combined this in his life’s work. Initially focused on fighting counterfeit pharmaceuticals in Nigeria, he and his company mPedigree have evolved through the last decade to expand and solve larger and larger-scale problems in other emerging markets like India. They’ve built on their vision, local contexts and framework. You can listen to an interview I did with Bright in Nairobi at the launch of the Commission at the African Population Health Research Centre.
In Kenya, as an example, Bright predicts that in the next 3 years, every one of the country’s seeds will be tracked from the supplier (overseas or local) to the soil. That’s the power of mPedigree in action. Fighting counterfeits. This will be available to the farmers, corporations and anyone with an interest in between.
Africa-based and home-grown solutions, that adapt to the realities of each country and community at the core are required in healthcare and any interventions that touch on both.
For Kenya’ we’re fortunate to have M-Pesa and the way, like a rising tide, it has “floated all boats” for a new ecosystem to emerge. Be those healthcare providers, practitioners, policymakers and the ecosystem. Be it models such as M-Tiba, allowing for the saving of small amounts and denominations for healthcare treatment or TotoHealth, sending just-in-time alerts throughout a mother’s journey through from pregnancy to the first 1,000 days. A key milestone.
There’s every reason to believe that achievement of good health should bre a political and investment priority for every country — it contributes to economic and sustainable development.
One key aspect of the report that I found a challenge to be embraced is the resistance to the idea that “more of the same” will not get us to where we need to be by 2030. This is a direct affront to the status quo that invites the imagination not just of the health sector or the government but the public and the ‘disruptors’ elsewhere.
As various industries change dramatically in the face of connectivty through phones, internet and information, we’ve got a chance to play a role similar to MamaYe.
A demand-side role as the largest constituent in the healthcare ecosystem — the recipients. And I believe it will all start much like where we did. Not with crossing borders, but with a story. With a vision.
Here’s hoping we can get behind, tease out, shake and put on the values that the Commission has put forward. And in the internet’s spirit of open access and open source, remix and build on it. Every good story has that at its heart.

 Mamaye ’s approach , with advocacy as the tip of the spear , aimed at the public . The public , the hypothesis presented , were the ‘ missing middle ’ in the equation involving government and the healthcare sector .
 The public , with local communities , taxes and active participation , could drive demand and accountability , even from local government . Engaging with the various forms of government to fulfil the central mandate when it comes to healthcare outcomes . The public could , in the right circumstance , instigate demand - side outcomes . Publics are also the recipients in the healthcare process . They can be mobilised , engaged and rallied to participate collectively raising their expectations of maternal and newborn healthcare and survival .
 At a broader level , MamaYe was not isolationist . It still engaged both the government and healthcare sectors , respectively . One key approach was reframing the narrative in maternal and newborn healthcare . Shifting from severity and mortality to success and survival .
 While it might sound obvious , this vision would bring strong consequences . It was not just paying lip service , either . It meant taking complex Excel spreadsheets of data and finding a narrative that was able to convey the facts in a compelling way , often data visualisation , while still evoking a sense of urgency . All the while not succumbing to a focus on mortality but a balance including best practice .
 The vision would need a narrative - driven approach to ensure that the core ideas behind the campaign would ‘ stick ’ through evidence - based solutions and strategies .
 Seeing this through , from finding brand & creative partners across the continent , to delivering a Pan - African digital strategy and coaching and leading teams across the continent would help me appreciate the opportunities technology has brought while exposing me to the complex challenges of delivering healthcare on the continent . Ultimately , what I ’m grateful for is the chance to travel .
 I ended up travelling to 8 countries serving a committed global team and ambitious in - country teams . It involved working alongside doctors , nurses , midwives , ministers , development partners , youth groups and the public exploring how mobile technology , the internet , design and storytelling would advance MamaYe ’s goals .
 My excitement and optimism were fixed onto mobile penetration across the African continent . In Sierra Leone , for instance , a public - private partnership that I put together with Africell , the largest telco in the country , saw the firm donate billboards and out - of - home signage , ad - space on the city ’s largest radio station and resources behind the locally - inspired advocacy ‘ ask ’ presented to the public . Blood donation to plug a seemingly perpetual shortfall for mothers suffering post - partum haemorrhaging and other complications was part of realising the country and Sierra Leone ’s unique MamaYe outcomes .
 Technology and mobile connectivity is a key part of realising the challenges of African healthcare . We still have far to go . Far , far to go .
 In Johannesburg in 2011 at a keynote for the Mobile Web Africa , I ’d been asked to define what would make the future of Africa ’s Silicon Savannah . There I highlighted a future built on two kinds of software developers .
 These were the young men and women building on the inflows of donor funding for hackathons and challenges . They were talented and pragmatic digital creators who would bag $ 10k prizes and build and ship prototypes in 48 hours or work in 2–3 month sprints to take ideas to market . They could shift from a focus on water to potholes to SMS updates in the span of a year . It proved to build out developers with experience in a broad set of skills and familiarity with a wide set of challenges and problems . Criticism might say that the concept led to a bevy of solutions that were an inch deep and a mile wide .
 Product developers did n’t really make the headlines as much . They were n’t even always the centre of attention in the tech hubs . These were software developers who fell in love with a problem and the process for solving it . The larger the problem , the more compelling the proposition and the higher the chances of failure . Nevertheless , the more they persisted . Payments . e - Commerce . Connectivity . The cloud . Hard - won battles with key issues led to products and services that are around , and if not , the teams that created them may still be .
 I stand by what I said 6 years ago . Between the two , there is none that is better or worse than the other . Healthcare ’s come a long way on the continent . The problems in that sector are n’t obvious and might not bring a swarm of young minds into a room to solve them . They ’d need someone to head out to do a design immersion into a community that ’s repeatedly finding stockouts of key drugs and seeking an inventory system to manage them .
 The vision , at times , can bring the people and catalyse change , despite the challenges and obstacles .
 Last week , I had the chance to reflect on this and did so at The Lancet ’s launch of their Commission on the Future of Health in Africa . It brought back all of the above memories . Their expectations and challenge to the rest of the continent rang true for both technology , as the very concept of “ Silicon Savannah ” comes under scrutiny from the rest of the continent .
 Hearing from global health advocate Professor Peter Piot , excerpted from Unseen Enemy where he speaks to the transformational and viral power of infectious diseases in Africa . As much as developers and today ’s storytellers are putting their work and minds to making things go viral , this speaks to a much different sense .
 With a much more dangerous set of challenges .
 Influenza finds its origins in birds . HIV ’s origins have been traced to a chimpanzee group while ebola ’s ( origins ) are thought to be attributed to a species of the fruit bat .
 During my time at MamaYe , one story captivated me and formally introduced me to The Lancet . In the midst of transforming everyday people who , at times unbeknownst to them , were having a tremendous impact , I came across the story of Tanzanian Dr. Godfrey Mbaruku .
 The story of his quiet , modest voice telling a powerful and enchanting tale of his time serving in a maternity ward in Kigoma in the remote western parts of Tanzania caught Ann Pettifor , my client ’s attention .
 His story , first seen in his own eyes as a punishment   —   being sent far from the major cities   —   led to two decades of improving outcomes for mothers & babies among Kigoma ’s 1.2 million inhabitants .
 The Commission ’s focus on an African - vision captivates me for a number of reasons . It centres on Africa ’s expectation that by 2050 , the continent will have 450 million people under the age of 25 . Referred to as Africa ’s demographic dividend ( or disaster if not managed appropriately ) it is a rallying cry that will impact political leaders , healthcare practitioners and private sector as well as publics .
 The Commission ’s report focuses on ways to engage this audience in more than healthcare .
 On the day of the launch , I was captivated by the focus on vision and consensus at a high level . There is even an explicit mention of the nuance and ownership required from country - to - country to fulfil that mandate .
 The incorporation of “ evidence - based optimism , with caution ” strikes a chord with me . Ultimately , I ’m of the opinion that the stories can help unpack the deeper insights , brought about by reflection and calculation , while making an invitation for collaboration and cooperation in future . There are very real challenges that I feel Product designers , developers and ‘ makers ’ can seek to solve for .
 Bright Simons is someone that I believe has successfully combined this in his life ’s work . Initially focused on fighting counterfeit pharmaceuticals in Nigeria , he and his company mPedigree have evolved through the last decade to expand and solve larger and larger - scale problems in other emerging markets like India . They ’ve built on their vision , local contexts and framework . You can listen to an interview I did with Bright in Nairobi at the launch of the Commission at the African Population Health Research Centre .
 In Kenya , as an example , Bright predicts that in the next 3 years , every one of the country ’s seeds will be tracked from the supplier ( overseas or local ) to the soil . That ’s the power of mPedigree in action . Fighting counterfeits . This will be available to the farmers , corporations and anyone with an interest in between .
 Africa - based and home - grown solutions , that adapt to the realities of each country and community at the core are required in healthcare and any interventions that touch on both .
 For Kenya ’ we ’re fortunate to have M - Pesa and the way , like a rising tide , it has “ floated all boats ” for a new ecosystem to emerge . Be those healthcare providers , practitioners , policymakers and the ecosystem . Be it models such as M - Tiba , allowing for the saving of small amounts and denominations for healthcare treatment or TotoHealth , sending just - in - time alerts throughout a mother ’s journey through from pregnancy to the first 1,000 days . A key milestone .
 There ’s every reason to believe that achievement of good health should bre a political and investment priority for every country   —   it contributes to economic and sustainable development .
 One key aspect of the report that I found a challenge to be embraced is the resistance to the idea that “ more of the same ” will not get us to where we need to be by 2030 . This is a direct affront to the status quo that invites the imagination not just of the health sector or the government but the public and the ‘ disruptors ’ elsewhere .
 As various industries change dramatically in the face of connectivty through phones , internet and information , we ’ve got a chance to play a role similar to MamaYe .
 A demand - side role as the largest constituent in the healthcare ecosystem   —   the recipients . And I believe it will all start much like where we did . Not with crossing borders , but with a story . With a vision .
 Here ’s hoping we can get behind , tease out , shake and put on the values that the Commission has put forward . And in the internet ’s spirit of open access and open source , remix and build on it . Every good story has that at its heart .

There were no differences in the frequency of insect pests and diseases between the management regimes. Tomato fruit yields were similar between organic (26 t/ha) and conventional (36 t/ha) plots at one site (Columbus), but lower in organic (35 t/ha) than conventional (66 t/ha) plots at a second site (Fremont). Economic return was similar between treatments (organic US$2,029 vs. conventional US$2,068) in Columbus but lower in organic (US$2,743) than conventional (US$4,315) plots in Fremont. Organic plots had a cover crop mechanically killed and left as mulch before being cropped with tomato, and received organic fertilizer and mechanical weed control. Conventional plots were unmulched and received herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and synthetic fertilizer. Treatments were replicated four times and weeds and grasses were collected from four 0.5 m² areas within plots to calculate their biomass. Pests and diseases were scouted for weekly.

I've decided for this year's Jane in June, we're going to have a head to head battle of the boys. Or, a little something I like to call Ultimate Swoon-Off. Basically, the Swoon-Off will be broken into brackets, with 8 of Austen's heroes are going to be paired up in a cage match of to-the-death hottieness. In Round 1 the 8 hotties will face off, with 4 emerging with a sheen of manly sweat and a victory. In week 2, the 4 victors will move on to bracket 2, where they will again go head to head, with just 2 winners who will move on to the final round. These last 2 standing will duke it out (in a very gentlemanly way, of course), with the #1 Austen hero being crowned in the final week.
Alright. It's up to you now. Whether you've read the books, seen the movie or are just voting on the pretty, pretty pictures, leave your vote for each head-to-head in the comments!
The winner of each bracket will move on to round 2, where they will be randomly paired up once again to determine who moves on to the finals.
Now let's get our swoon on!
Oooh I love this Friday Face Off!
- the last one is so hard. Arghh Wentworth.
Edward Ferrars because it took me a few S&S watchings before I realized his name was Ferrars instead of Farris!
Darcy, but of course! Edmund had no chance.
Wentworth because Persuasion is my second fave Austen novel!
Darcy destroys Edmund and dances on his corpse.
If Knightly didn't have that slightly creepy, "I knew you as a baby air" he could win, but Snape, I mean Brandon wins.
And Wentworth wipes the floor with Bingley, he is a military man afterall.
AGH you really want me to pick between Edward and Henry? Fine. Edward. But that is a tough choice.
Darcy (I'm guessing Edmund is a Mansfield Park character).
Ooh, torturing us are you?
Oh my word! This is difficult, but I think I'm going to have to go with Edward Ferrars for the first one. Sorry Henry, but my heart belongs to S&S first and foremost.
As for the Darcy/Edmund category. I'm voting for the underdog in this one, Edmund Bertram. Just 'cause I can (& I'm sure Darcy will win anyway... he is rather steamy).
And yet another difficult one! Must I choose? I think I'm going with... ACK! So hard! I'm going with George Knightley. I still love you, Brandon!!
Charles you're a cutie, but I love me some Frederick Wentworth!
Oh god, Edward Ferrars was SO BORING. Henry Tilney all the way.
Again, no contest. Really, who would pick Edmund over Darcy?? Darcy FTW.
This is a little tougher, but I'm gonna have to go with Knightley.
Charles Bingley was a bit of a wimp, IMO. I'm definitely for the Navy man -- Wentworth.
Henry Tilney for sure - LOVE JJ Feilds!
Colonel Brandon absolutely. Would you mess with Snape? I think not!
I can't wait to see who moves on!
Wentworth because his passions run deep!
Hope my votes got in on time!
Alrighty, I'm going to weigh in with my votes, and then the voting for this round will be closed.
You can find out who won this round and vote for who will move on to the semi-finals in Ultimate Swoon-Off, round 2!
