Making promises on financing for development is the easy part. Following through on them is hard. Ambassador Chola Milambo speaks frankly about turning global financing commitments into tangible benefits for African communities. Chidi Okpala highlights the role of innovative private-sector partnerships, while Tumi Mkhizi Malebo offers a youth perspective on making finance work for the next generation and Nabila Ageule emphasizes the particularly important role of young women. Together, they map out what it takes to bridge the gap between conference promises and action on the ground, from transparency and inclusive planning to youth-led monitoring of how funds are actually spent. If you've ever wondered why big financial agreements rarely reach the people they're meant to serve, this episode offers both the diagnosis and the solution.

Surnommé le “continent plastique” ou encore le “monstre de plastique”, le 7ème continent est une masse en expansion constituée de 1 800 milliards de déchets plastiques en plein océan Pacifique. En effet, selon l'étude de l'organisation Ocean Cleanup publiée en 2018 dans la revue Scientific Reports, le "septième continent" s'étend sur 1,6 million de km², soit 3 fois la taille de la France.

Suite de notre série qui vous emmène à la découverte des délices du continent, ces plats qui font saliver rien qu'à l'évocation de leur nom. Pour le cinquième épisode, nous allons ce matin en Éthiopie. Au menu : le ti'hilo. Originaire de la région du Tigré, ce plat familial n'est pas le plus connu du pays, mais il est de plus en plus populaire. On peut désormais le trouver dans l'intégralité de l'Éthiopie, y compris dans la capitale, Addis-Abeba. De notre correspondante à Addis-Abeba, Au cœur du quartier de Haya Huwlet, le restaurant Kiros détonne. Sur les tables, pas de traditionnel shiro, cette purée de pois cassés dégustée au quotidien par les Éthiopiens. Ici, le ti'hilo est à l'honneur. « On a décidé de faire du ti'hilo car il y a encore peu d'établissements qui proposent ce plat ici », explique Melka, charlotte blanche sur la tête, qui officie en cuisine. Le restaurant fait le bonheur de Bisrat, un client occasionnel est né à Mekelle, mais habite à Addis-Abeba depuis quelques années. « Le ti'hilo est un plat traditionnel, particulièrement dans la région d'Adigrat, dans le Tigré. Mais aujourd'hui, on peut trouver le ti'hilo ici, dans quelques bons restaurants d'Addis. Ce sont devenus des endroits très reconnus », estime-t-il. Les mains plongées dans la farine d'orge qui sert de base aux petites boulettes beiges, l'un des éléments principaux du plat, Melka détaille la recette : « Une fois qu'on a pétri la pâte, on fait le selsi, un mélange d'oignons, de tomates, d'huile et de poivrons. À côté, on prépare le sejo, une purée de pois cassés. Ça, c'est le ti'hilo qu'on fait pendant le jeûne, sans viande. » En salle, le ti'hilo est servi avec une petite touche cérémoniale : une serveuse se charge de confectionner les boulettes et les dépose ensuite sur un grand plateau en métal recouvert d'injira, galette éthiopienne présente à chaque repas. Les clients piquent ensuite les boulettes avec un bâtonnet en bois, avant de les tremper dans le selsi. Une tradition qui réveille à chaque fois, chez Bisrat, un peu de nostalgie. « Manger du ti'hilo, surtout quand je suis à Addis, me rappelle ma région, le Tigré, sa culture et plein d'autres choses. Quand je commence à goûter le ti'hilo, cela me ramène là-bas, chez moi », confie-t-il. En dehors des périodes de jeûne végétarien, très suivi par les chrétiens orthodoxes en Éthiopie, le ti'hilo se déguste aussi avec de la viande de bœuf.

Questions about the long-term viability of the dollar as the world's supreme transaction and investment currency have been building up for years. But America's chaotic foreign, economic and trade policies in the six months since Donald Trump returned to the White House have intensified doubts about whether the US currency will stay the course for the longer term. Will the US be knocked off its monetary pedestal in the next five years? And which currencies are in the running as the most potent rivals to the dollar?   Ellie Groves, head of strategy, official institutions group at State Street Investment Management, and David Marsh, chairman of OMFIF, debate the pros and cons of the dollar and other leading currencies, with reference to some of the themes in David's new book, Can Europe Survive? The Story of a Continent in a Fractured World.

Suite de notre série qui vous emmène à la découverte des délices du continent, ces plats qui font saliver rien qu'à l'évocation de leur nom. Pour ce quatrième épisode, nous allons ce matin en Tunisie, pour savourer le mleoui. Cette crêpe de semoule, aux origines berbères, est devenue une institution dans la street food (cuisine de rue). Peu coûteux et rassasiant, le sandwich s'achète dans des gargotes de quartier et se décline en différentes versions, selon les garnitures que l'on met à l'intérieur. Pour certains amateurs, trouver le meilleur mleoui à Tunis est une activité très sérieuse.  De notre correspondante à Tunis, Yasser Hana, restaurateur palestinien vivant en Tunisie, est un fan de street food. Sur les réseaux sociaux, il en a fait sa marque de fabrique en tant que créateur de contenus, et le mleoui est son sandwich préféré. « Un mleoui, avec deux fromages, un peu de harissa et de thon », commande-t-il avec précision chez Mleoui Mahbouba, une gargotte tenue par deux sœurs depuis trente ans. « Un truc simple sans chichis, deux fromages triangle, un peu de harissa, des oignons et du thon. Pas d'omelette, pas d'olives, pas de mayonnaise pour ne pas gâcher le goût de la pâte, pour savourer le goût de chaque ingrédient seul, pour avoir dans la bouche une expérience homogène », explique-t-il. Car ce qui fait la force du mleoui, c'est sa simplicité : une crêpe épaisse à base de semoule, comme l'explique Mahbouba, qui travaille la pâte juste avant de la cuire. « La pâte, on la fait le jour même. Un peu de sel, de la semoule fine et un peu d'huile et le tour est joué. Je la remue comme ça, on la laisse reposer quelques minutes, et ensuite, on cuit le mleoui et on ajoute la garniture. C'est très frais et instantané. » Le prix, qui ne dépasse pas un euro, et toutes ses différentes garnitures en font l'un des sandwichs préférés des Tunisiens. Un sandwich qui évoque une certaine nostalgie, selon Yasser : « Le consommateur basique, il est très fidèle à son mleoui de quartier ou au mleoui dans la ruelle où il a grandi. » À quelques encablures, un jeune de 30 ans, Fahd, a ouvert sa propre boutique où il vend des mleouis déclinés dans une recette qui s'inspire de la version marocaine, le msemen, où l'on ajoute un peu de beurre et de farine. « À chaque fois, on ajoute un ingrédient et finalement, on a trouvé la bonne recette et la bonne combinaison de ces ingrédients-là », estime-t-il. « Les Tunisiens disent souvent qu'ils n'aiment que la nourriture de leur mère, mais c'est vrai que pour ces produits de street food, on préfère aller dans la rue. Surtout le mleoui. Je pense qu'il n'y a pas un Tunisien qui ne mange pas le mleoui une seule où deux fois par semaine », explique-t-il. Il propose aussi une version de la pâte au pesto ou épicée. Des variantes qui fonctionnent puisqu'il a gagné le Torchi Food Award 2024, une compétition qui récompense le meilleur de la street food tunisienne.

In the Twentieth Century, Chicago's Midway Airport had a sign that read “Crossroads of the World,” and during its heyday Midway literally was the aviation center of the world.  From a historical perspective the same has been true for Chicago reaching back a century earlier as a critical hub of the railroads, during the Industrial Age as a center for trade and manufacturing, and for centuries before a meeting place for uncounted generations of Native Americans.   The geographic reality was that where the Chicago river and estuaries of the Chicago region meet the southwest corner of Lake Michigan attracted indigenous peoples, Potawatomi, Miami, Anishinaabeg, Ho-Chunk, or Sauk and assuredly others portaging the divide, arriving by canoe or on foot.  Sometimes they stayed for a while or moved with the migration of the game and seasonal changes. Hence this place called Chicago despite the low lying, swampy, muddy, and unattractive ground due to it's elemental location and convenient waterways has continued for centuries to be a key to the continent. This juxtaposition has spawned innumerable books on Chicago. In this episode we talk with author and Associate Professor of History John William Nelson Ph.D. about his recently published book Muddy Ground; Native Peoples, Chicago's Portage, and the Transformation of a Continent. This exhaustive history underpinned by impressive research re-enforces the basic fact that geography frequently dictates the destiny of an area and out of this meeting place and important key transportation link to the continent this muddy ground eventually gave rise to a mighty city.  Dr. Nelson's book brings important new insights and a fresh perspective on the Canon of portage history for Chicago to offer the reader a fresh perspective of the region and its importance for Native Americans and foundational story of Chicago's origin and settlement.

La 39e édition du Festival international Nuits d'Afrique se termine ce dimanche 20 juillet à Montréal. Treize jours de concerts ont rassemblé près de 700 artistes africains, d'Amérique latine et des Antilles. Des sonorités traditionnelles aux fêtes technos en passant par des cours de danse ouverts à tous, la richesse culturelle de cet événement a transporté le public en voyage tout autour du monde. De notre envoyée spéciale à Montréal, Rumba congolaise, maloya réunionnais, trap syrienne, rythmes berbères, amazighs, yorubas ou vaudous : en un mot, les Nuits d'Afrique rassemblent. Dans le quartier des spectacles, l'Esplanade Tranquille porte très mal son nom cette semaine. Les concerts s'enchaînent dans une immersion sonore totale et ininterrompue. Chaque artiste profite de son temps sur scène pour mettre en lumière son pays et sa culture. « Le kamele ngoni, c'est un instrument purement africain. C'est un instrument qui a créé à Wassoulou, une ville peule au Mali. À travers cet instrument, je peux parler de la paix, de la cohésion sociale, du vivre ensemble. C'est très important pour moi parce qu'il faut promouvoir ta culture, ta langue. Moi, je chante en langue peule d'abord, et puis je chante en langue bambara. Je suis très content de pouvoir le faire », raconte le maître du kamele ngoni, Dicko Fils. Si la traditionnalité est partout, elle est loin de rester bloquée dans le passé. La Malienne Djely Tapa est devenue griotte pour la diaspora africaine à Montréal. Mais une griotte bien ancrée dans son époque, ayant ajouté de l'électro à sa musique mandingue. « L'afrofuturisme, pour moi, c'est d'amener nos instruments, qui sont des instruments d'héritage, de les amener dans des sonorités futuristes. Parce que quand on parle de nos instruments, on va les qualifier d'instruments traditionnels. Mais le violon aussi est un instrument traditionnel, mais il est utilisé dans la musique contemporaine. Et on ne l'appellerait pas un ''instrument traditionnel''. Donc, pourquoi ma kora serait un instrument traditionnel ? Elle peut être aussi contemporaine, non ? », interroge l'artiste. Ici, les revendications fusent de toutes parts, portées par des artistes engagés pour la justice et la paix. Le Nigérian Fémi Kuti porte un afro-beat politique par essence : « Je suis profondément convaincu que l'Afrique devrait être le meilleur des continents, un modèle qui ferait l'admiration du monde entier. Si ses dirigeants étaient vraiment engagés, s'ils aimaient leur peuple, l'Afrique serait aujourd'hui un continent épanoui, rempli de joie, vous voyez ? Et pourtant, à chaque fois que j'y retourne ou que je lis les nouvelles, j'en ai vraiment le cœur brisé. Je n'ai pas de baguette magique pour changer les choses, et je ne peux pas forcer les autres à croire en mes idées, sinon je passerais pour un dictateur. Alors, peut-être que finalement, la vie consiste surtout à se développer soi-même. Car nous allons tous mourir un jour. Et s'il y a une vie après la mort, alors c'est à ce moment que nous devrons répondre de nos pensées et de nos actes. » Aux Nuits d'Afrique, la musique est plus que jamais un moyen de transmettre, d'ouvrir les esprits et de résister, dans la joie et le partage.  À lire aussiNigeria: «Zombie», la fronde de Fela Kuti contre Obasanjo

CONTENT HEADS UP: Be enriched by a thoughtfully crafted conversation where sensitive topics related to trauma, torture, and self-loathing are gently woven into a narrative that is ultimately about love. There are no graphic descriptions of torture, just some causes and effects, but we nonetheless recommend that sensitive listeners prioritize their well-being and engage at their own discretion/pace. Also, for those intrigued by the idea of swimming with whales, a friendly reminder to follow safety guidelines and never venture alone into such deep waters.SYNOPSIS:Join us in this episode as we connect with Amber Gray, a masterful Human Rights Psychotherapist and Somatic and Dance/Movement Therapist with over 25 years of experience. Through her profound insights gained from working with survivors of trauma, particularly torture, war, and human rights abuses, Amber shares invaluable lessons and practices.Ali and Amber explore the profound lessons Amber has gleaned from her work with both whales and torture victims, professors and shamans, including the complexities of dissociation, what traditional trauma recovery misses, and the impactful ability to shift one's state of being.Amber's integrative approach, which merges refugee mental health and torture treatment with creative arts, mindfulness, and body-based therapies, offers a unique perspective on healing. The discussion also delves into the innovative Restorative Movement Psychotherapy, a resiliency-based framework co-created by Amber and her clients, designed specifically for trauma survivors in diverse cultural contexts.MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course informationTransgenerational Healing FilmsMORE AMBER GRAY:Website: https://ambergray.comTo be with Amber and the whalesBIO: Amber is a Human Rights Psychotherapist and a Somatic and Dance/Movement Therapist who has worked with survivors of interpersonal, collective  and intergenerational trauma, particularly torture, war, and human rights abuses, for 25 years. Amber provides clinical and transformational training on her Right to Embody  trainings integrating refugee mental health and torture treatment with creative arts, mindfulness, and body-based therapies for programs serving survivors worldwide. She, with her clients, created a resiliency-based framework and clinical approach (Restorative Movement Psychotherapy) for somatic and movement  therapies with survivors of trauma in multi-cultural contexts, and they also co-created Polyvagal-informed Somatic  and Dance/Movement therapy,  based on 24 years immersion in Polyvagal Theory. The latter is the subject of her upcoming book, Roots, Rhythm and Reciprocity, to be published by Norton.

The Vatican has begun using a powerful new phrase to describe evangelization in the digital age: digital mission on the digital continent. As people spend increasing amounts of time online—scrolling, streaming, and searching for meaning—the Church recognizes that the internet isn't just a tool but a place, a mission field where the Gospel can be shared. In this teaser episode of Ave Explores: Digital Evangelization, host Katie McGrady introduces the theme of this series and unpacks why the Catholic Church is taking digital evangelization seriously. Why does it matter? Who is being reached? And what does it mean to be a digital missionary today? Tune in as we begin this essential conversation about faith, presence, and purpose in the digital world. We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends!

It's Independence Day, the 4th of July is at hand.  Let's talk about illegal fireworks - and other patriotic things. On this edition of  Generation Gap, we pay tribute to the old days of the  4th of July when celebration wasn't complete til somebody blew off one or more appendages. On this show our regulars (Dorothy - Silent Generation ) (Ray - Millennial) (Jason - Gen X) will recall how Independence Day was different in their generations. Since we've been doing this show more than 10 years, we're convinced that there really is a big difference between generations. The fact is, when children and Grandkids come into the picture, it's a wonder anybody is still speaking. That's when we come in. On Generation Gap, we try to add some light to those different groups.  But then that sounds a little dull, so let's add some excitement with Fireworks!! After all, it is July.  Now, fireworks have always been controversial - But we've always loved them.    On today's show, Dorothy will talk about how she discovered an unopened trunk, left behind after her husband's death and full of illegal fireworks. Did you ever try to get rid of a trunkful of illegal fireworks? and Ray tells about the year he inadvertently set his street on fire.  In short, It will be a lot of fun. For the kiddies, there's the story of how big sister Elaine talked her brother into being the rear end of the horse costume she made.  Poor Stephen had a terrible time.  Fun Fact: It turns out that nobody gives treats to the rear end of a horse.   According  to PBS news.The display of pyrotechnics has always  been a big part of Independence Day. Founding Father John Adams saw it coming. Commemoration of America's independence “ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more,” Adams wrote in a letter to his wife, Abigail, dated July 3, 1776. Fireworks were around centuries before America became a nation. The American Pyrotechnics Association says many historians believe fireworks were first developed in the second century B.C. in ancient China by throwing bamboo stalks into fires, causing explosions as the hollow air pockets overheated. By the 15th century, fireworks were widely used for religious festivals and public entertainment in Europe and early U.S. settlers carried on those traditions, the Association said.

Faith Lit the Fire of Freedom. Lynette Kittle reminds us that the fight for liberty wasn’t just political—it was deeply spiritual. John Adams and other Founding Fathers understood that freedom begins with God. Influenced by the Great Awakening, their pursuit of independence was undergirded by prayer, Scripture, and a firm belief in God’s providence. From James Madison’s defense of religious liberty to Benjamin Franklin’s reflections on virtue and morality, America’s foundations were built on the understanding that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

In this episode, I'm joined by one of America's most thoughtful national journalists: Mike Grunwald. You may know him from his work at Time, Politico, or The Washington Post, or from his critically acclaimed books about the Obama administration and the history of the Everglades. He's also now a contributing columnist at the New York Times. But for the purpose of this episode, Mike is here to discuss his third book, We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate. In this sweeping and deeply reported work, Mike tackles one of the most uncomfortable truths of our time: our global food system, especially animal farming, is a leading driver of climate change, deforestation, wildlife extinction, and more. But rather than simply doomscroll through the apocalypse, We Are Eating the Earth offers a clear-eyed, often witty, and ultimately hopeful exploration of how we might transform our food system to produce more food while using fewer resources. In our conversation, we discuss some of the biggest food and climate myths—like whether organic or so-called “regenerative” agriculture is necessarily better for the planet—as well as Mike's views on what will actually work to slash humanity's footprint on the planet. (Spoiler: eat less meat, waste less food, and use fewer biofuels are among his biggest points.) Mike also clarifies his views on animal welfare, including the welfare of chickens and pigs, and his (lack of) concern about falling fertility rates. It's a wide-ranging conversation that's got something for everyone interested in a future with fewer hungry people and more land rewilded.

Si l'essor du numérique sur le continent africain a permis à de nombreuses personnes de s'exprimer, de partager leurs idées, de débattre, il a aussi ouvert un nouvel espace virtuel bien moins positif. Moqueries sur le physique, images diffusées sans consentement, commentaires haineux qui tournent à l'insulte voire aux menaces. Le harcèlement en ligne peut prendre différentes formes et transformer la vie virtuelle et réelle de la personne qui le subit, en cauchemar. Confrontées aux injonctions sociales, aux traditions, aux stéréotypes de genre auxquels, elles font face, les femmes sont particulièrement vulnérables en ligne. Selon une enquête de 2020 menée par l'Unesco sur la violence en ligne à l'encontre des femmes dans 15 pays du continent africain, 73% des femmes journalistes ayant participé à l'enquête avaient subi des violences sur internet. Comment assurer un espace d'expression sûr en ligne ? Quelle responsabilité des plateformes et quelles sanctions pour les harceleurs du net ?   Avec : • Ache Ahmat Moustapha, sociologue, réalisatrice du documentaire Harcèlement 2.0 : résilience des Africaines connectées   • Aisha Dabo, coordinatrice de projets chez AfricTivistes, organisation panafricaine de la société civile, basée à Dakar au Sénégal, qui œuvre à la promotion et à la défense des valeurs démocratiques, des droits humains et de la bonne gouvernance par le biais du numérique.   Programmation musicale : ► Carnet secret - Pi Ja Ma ► Dâmba Kéle - Siraba.

Laurent remembers vividly his trip to Sofia Bulgaria in winter 2009 when the Russian had cut the gas for Bulgaria during a -15C winter. Russia was already playing hard ball because of (guess what) a financial disagreement with Ukraine. The blackmail lasted 3 weeks, and the poor Bulgarians were cutting the trees from their equivalent of Hyde Park or Central Park not to freeze to death.    Lots of progress has been made since then, and Eastern Europe is an emerging bright spot of development for Renewables. It is not just about Economics but also about Security of Supply. We bring in Dimitar Enchev, Cofounder & CEO Europe at CWP - a global renewable energy company, behind some of the largest projects in Southeast Europe.  CWP has been active since 2007 and developed the largest projects in Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, including Europe's largest onshore wind farm for 10 years – a 600MW project in Romania and has now partnered with Mercuria, one of the largest energy trading houses in the world. They discuss how Eastern Europe felt the largest blunt of Russia's Energy War and how they have been accustomed to living, surviving and thriving with a hostile and aggressive neighbour, always prompt to weaponize energy. Is Europe “bringing a knife to a gunfight” when it comes to countering Russia?We explain how opportunities have risen from this difficult environment and how the decorrelation of wind and solar between the East and West of the Continent, and a continuous integration with the global European Grid creates significant investment opportunities. It is about Transmission, Resilience, Hybridization and digitization.

Though the twice-widowed Catherine's heart was definitely with Thomas Seymour, Henry VIII had other plans for his future and final wife. He took to spending time at his daughter Princess Mary's court, where Catherine was part of the household, and eventually dispatched Seymour on an important - and open duration - diplomatic mission on the Continent. It took some wooing, but Catherine finally accepted the King's marriage proposal, and the couple were wed in July 1543 at Hampton Court Palace. Catherine was an exceptional Queen for him. She was deeply engaged in loving relationships with Henry's children, and her influence went a long way to stitching together some sort of family dynamic after the traumas of his exile of Mary's mother and his murder of Elizabeth's. And she thrived in the role. Catherine is the first woman in England to publish a book in her own name, and stood for the first full-length portrait of an English queen, with a rare and fabulously expensive Turkish rug under her feet, as a king would be presented. She was a reformer at heart who only landed seriously on Henry's bad side once, it seems, but was also enough of a diplomat to smooth things over and, let's be honest, possibly save herself from a bad morning on the Tower Green. We leave this episode with Henry's death, but that's not the end of Catherine Parr's story. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

A special episode as we leave the city for a few years and look to the ever-so-important war with France raging across on the Continent. Picking up after Henry V's victory at Agincourt, we look at why the next few years of this war were entirely different from any other part of it so far, look at the situation in France that allowed Henry do so bloody well, follow the King as he rampages across the nation, seemingly invincible… and look at why his sudden death was not the complete disaster it could have been. A chapter where we look to the external forces that were going to influence events in London for decades to come.

With the instincts of a warrior and the heart of a leader, Mohamed Amin built Camerapix into a sustainable, world class organization covering news, features and producing documentaries with a variety of global networks including the BBC, NBC and Reuters. Today, Salim has continued that tradition by helping educate Africa's youth through the Mohamed Amin Foundation and as a founder of Africa 24 Media, a media platform that was dedicated to positive stories about the culture and history of Africa.Recognized in 2007 as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Salim's leadership has been rewarded. Today, Camerapix works in collaboration with production partners throughout Africa, Britain, Europe, Asia and the United States. New African Magazine has recognized Salim as one of the top “100 Most Influential Africans” and has named Salim among their “Top 50 Under 50.” Salim was one of only 150 global leaders invited to President Obama's 2010 summit on Presidential Entrepreneurship in Washington DC.Salim's work as a producer includes the internationally acclaimed feature documentary Mo & Me, the One.org production of Revisiting Korem, and executive producing the award-winning documentary The Sound Man. As an on-camera host and producer, Salim achieved acclaim across the Continent for his production of more than 150 episodes of The Scoop, a weekly half hour series featuring Africa's foremost voices in art, culture and finance. At it's peak, The Scoop reached more than 300 million viewers weekly in broadcast and online viewership.Salim published his first book in 2019 titled KENYA: Through My Father's Eyes, a coffee-table book showcasing his father's unique images of Kenya. It is also the first historical book on Africa incorporating Augmented Reality with 12 videos embedded in the pages of the book.Since 2020 Salim has been documenting and preserving Kenya's history through interviews and features, and working on the construction of Kenya's largest history Museum. He refers to his work as a “conservation of history”.In 2024, together with production partner Chip Duncan, Salim co-produced the multi-award-winning documentary Stand Together As One: The Famine. The Music. The Impact to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the great Ethiopian Famine and We Are The World, Band Aid and Live Aid.Connect with Salim and Chip:Salim's Instagram: @salimcamerapixtvWebsite: https://artsandculture.google.com/pocketgallery/Thank you for listening.
