Well it’s officially been a year of service here in The Gambia and I have to say its been one to remember. I’m anticipating a speedy next year due to projects/work being in full swing and the feeling of urgency to take the things in that I didn’t get to last time.

I now know the rhythms of this place and yes it took a year. Now I know that mango season last only 2 months and then there is not a mango to be found for the rest of the year. I know that rainy season is full of mold, amazing rain storms, and is the one element that changes the African bush into a hot humid green jungle (of sorts). The dry season is DRY and DUSTY; the sun is so penetrating that to can feel your soul getting sun burnt and all turns to brown. The people I’ve met and the things I’ve seen have left a long term impression on me that will forever allow me to see and understand the world a little differently. I have been blessed with dear friendships that will last the rest of my life and made acquaintances that I will never forget. My work here has forever changed my definition of work, what is work, how things work and I will never again take for granted the value of a good functioning job. Also my view of the US and the meaning of home has changed significantly. But above all, this year has opened my eyes to the beauty, amazement, bewilderment and shock of the whole world and I long and hope my life is full for travel, in the US and abroad.

So one more year to go. For this next year… I hope, I hope, I hope some of my projects will be prosperous and sustainable. I hope to make a mark, any kind of mark. I need to travel!! I haven’t left this country and need to see other parts of Africa!! I’m going to eat too many mango's. Dance in the streets, during a big rain storm, even if the adults think I’m crazy. Do some African bush camping. Join the women in their fields more during rice season (it is the hardest job). And to take all the kids from my village out in nature and show them something that will make them squirm with wonder. We will see..jpg)

I had a wonderful Christmas and an amazing New Year, by the way, one that I shall always remember. I missed you all so very much and you were not far from my thoughts.
Hugs from Gambia
Look who came to spend X-mas with me. Fun times:)

Finding the right sports books and bookmakers to use for your arbitrage sports betting can be a daunting task with the internet now they are everywhere. The list of crooked bookmaking sites that have helped part people with their money and robbed them of their winnings grows longer every day. Being enlightened about this all sports bettors should do their due diligence before signing up with any bookmaker and be sure of their reputation as well as their guarantees on return of winnings. Almost all sports betting sites will have reviews so read them before making your decision on which one you go with.
The best sports betting odds are in actuality just numbers, they may be an ever changing set of numbers but just numbers nonetheless. There are many different factors involved in the computation of not the least of which is the number of bettors placing bets on one team. If a bookie sees this happening he will give the team that is dentified as the loser more points and take points from the team deemed the winning team.

Switching a service located outside of the United States it not hard to do. In fact it is quite easy since there are many quality services to choose from. The most difficult thing that you will need to do is find the one that best suits your needs.
The problem is, most people wouldn't know where to begin if they had to devise their own worthwhile Selection System, and those clever enough to be able to do so simply wouldn't have the time to do it (it is an arduous task). In fact, there are only two groups of people who do bother to spend the time and money to do so properly: (i) Bookies and (ii) sports tipsters. However, while you can be 100% sure that all Bookies operate a good Selection System (but they won't share it with you), you can be sure that 99% of so-called expert tipsters don't. The number of tipsters doing a proper job on the Internet can probably be counted on the fingers of just two hands.
If you’re like me when you first saw the term “arbitrage sports betting” you just said, “huh?” You may even be reading this article because you were wondering. It is a relatively little method that can actually allow you to make money no matter who wins or loses. Kind of like heads I win, tails I win!
Another way of identifying the best sports betting odds is to examine the money lines on the various sports books online. The quickest and simplest way to understand how to compute the odds and comprehend how the money line bet works is to take into consideration the amount of money one would have to bet in order to win one hundred dollars. Normally this figure is shown as a negative and a positive with the negative number indicating what one must wager to win x amount of dollars and the positive showing what one would win.

For quite some time the United States House of Representatives has been trying to pass a bill that will make it much more difficult for people to get away with breaking the online gambling laws. Not to mention stricter penalties for those who are caught.
The important thing to note here is that neither of the above approaches is "systemised", although those in the first group believe that they are limiting losses while increasing their winning chances. But what the majority in that first group generally do not take proper account of is how the Bookies have fixed the odds to ensure that they, the Bookies, will come out on top in the long run. What this means is that if you only bet on "favourites" you will eventually lose all your money, although it is true that you will enjoy a much longer period of betting before you kiss your last buck goodbye!

Есть ли такие финансовые институты (фонды) в нашей стране, которые могут выступать поручителями перед банками (в частности, перед зарубежными) по кредитам юр лиц?? За рубежом такие есть, - работают на процентах или еще как-то. Наш фонд поддержки предпринимательства - может поручиться на 50 % от необходимого. Где найти еще на 50? И если есть, то по каким схемам они работают?
