YOUR GUIDE TO
SELF EXAMINATION
Do you know what’s normal and what isn’t?
Get up close and personal with our self examination guide and
#checkyournads!
STEP 1
The best time to check yourself is after a warm
shower or bath as your skin is most relaxed; so take
the time to sit back and relax before you get hands
on.
STEP 2
Only examine one at a time by taking
the testicle between your thumb and
first two fingers and roll with consistent
gentle pressure. Feel for any lumps or
changes in shape, size or consistency.
Familiarise yourself with the epididymis
towards the back of the testicle. It
should feel rope like and tender to
pressure, this is normal.
STEP 3
If you notice a change or you feel a lump, don’t panic.
Most lumps are not cancer but if you do notice anything
unusual or anything concerning you should visit
your doctor as soon as you can. If caught early enough
testicular cancer can be cured.
REMEMBER
Most men have one testicle that is larger than the
other or find that one tesicle may hang lower than the
other or both of these. This is very typical and is definitely
not a reason to worry.

Football League To Be Renamed
The Football League is to be re-named the English
Football League as part of a comprehensive corporate
and competition re-branding.
The new title, which will come into use at the conclusion
of the current season and ahead of the
2016/17 campaign, will be shortened to EFL for
everyday use across the game.
The EFL name will be accompanied by a stunning
new visual identity featuring a dynamic circular
arrangement of 72 balls in three swathes of 24,
representing each of the League’s member clubs
and the respective divisions they play in.
The new logo is just the fourth
in the 127 year history of the
world’s original league football
competition and, for the first
time, each club will be
presented with its own bespoke
version in its individual playing
colours, ahead of the new
season, for it to retain in
perpetuity.
The Football League’s Chief
Executive, Shaun Harvey said: "The new EFL name
rightly emphasises the central role our clubs play at
the heart of English professional football.
"In an increasingly challenging global sports market,
it is absolutely essential that sports properties
can project a modern identity that not only
resonates with their regular audience but is also easily
recognisable to a broader audience of potential fans,
viewers and commercial partners.
"We believe the EFL name and brand will give our
competitions an identity that is new and distinct, while
at the same time retaining our unique heritage. As
such, it will be something that all fans can identify with
- whether they be young or old, at home or abroad.
Harvey also confirmed that the League would be retaining
the three existing divisional titles, “The Championship,
League One and League Two divisional titles
have proven popular with fans since their introduction
in 2004 and have since been used by leagues in other
countries and in other sports. It is therefore our intention
to incorporate them into the new EFL brand,” he
said.
The introduction of the EFL name
follows a thorough process
of consultation that included
detailed surveys, interviews
and focus groups with
clubs, stakeholders, commercial
partners and more
than 18,000 football supporters.
Consultees included the
Football Association,
the Premier League, the Professional Footballers
Association, the Football Supporters Federation, the
League’s competition sponsors (Sky Bet, Capital One
and Johnstone’s Paint), its broadcast partners (Sky
Sports, Channel 5 and Pitch International) and the
Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

Move For Movember
MOVEMBER 2015 will kick off early this year on Saturday 31 October when Mitre and The Football
League will again back the campaign by using a special ‘Mo’ branded Delta Hyperseam Fluo ball in the
thirty six matches that take place that day.
Movember and the Football League are asking all clubs to auction these unique match balls signed by
their respective first team squads at a subsequent home game during the month to raise vital funds for
the men’s health organisation’s cause areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health
and physical inactivity.
Last year, Movember raised over £50,000 through the Football
League community and expects many clubs to once again take up
the challenge of growing a mo or committing to MOVE to raise
awareness and funds for men’s health.
Even though the Movember Foundation will always be all about the
moustache, there is now more than one way to champion men’s
health next month. MOVE is a new initiative encouraging Mo Bros
and Mo Sistas to get physically active and make a commitment to
improve their health while raising funds.
The challenge is to MOVE every day of Movember – 30 MOVEs in 30 days. How you MOVE each day is up
to you. Whether it’s a workout one day, walking 30 minutes to work the next, a game of ping pong or an
epic bike ride, no MOVE is too big or small.
As Mo Bros unite and clean shave on the 1st of the month, they become walking, talking billboards
helping to generate awareness and raise vital funds as they wear Movember’s hairy ribbon, the moustache
for 30 days.
“This Movember, we want Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to think about mind, body and mo by challenging each
other to grow or MOVE for 30 days.” says Sarah Coghlan, UK country director for Movember. “Being active
is one of the best things you can do for your health, so the addition of MOVE makes it even easier to do
something fun that’s good for you and men’s health. Just sign up at Movember.com.”
The Movember Foundation spans the globe across 21 countries. Since inception, a global army of over
5 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas have grown or supported the growth of a moustache. To date more than
£400 million has been raised globally and over 1000 men’s health projects have been funded.

Football vs Homophobia
Hollywood star Sir Ian McKellen recently paid a visit to Macron Stadium to support Bolton Wanderers'
and the Community Trust’s involvement in the Football v Homophobia campaign.
In line with the work of the organisation, youngsters from schools around Bolton took part in an
inter-school football tournament at the club’s Lostock academy training ground last month.
Spending time in the Platinum Suite at Macron Stadium after the conclusion of the competition, the
youngsters participated in a workshop which allowed them to engage with the issue of sexuality and to
learn about how homophobia can hurt and offend people.
A campaign which aims to eradicate homophobia by educating children from a young age, Football v
Homophobia is an international initiative which works across all levels from grassroots to professional
football clubs.
And following the workshop, the pupils were awarded their
medals from the earlier tournament by world-renowned
actor Sir McKellen
who praised the organisation for their efforts.
“What a wonderful initiative
it is,” he said. “Sport is all about getting along with people
– you ultimately cannot be a good team without that.
You cannot succeed unless everyone is doing it together.
“There’s no place for name calling and saying
that we’re all different – we are all different, thank goodness and for the children to be learning that at
their age is absolutely fantastic.”
FvH uses football as a tool to remove prejudice based on gender identity and sexual orientation and to
take a clear stand against LGBT discrimination.
In 2011, Fare and FvH joined forces to work across the different levels of football and help bring about
a positive change.
As part of this partnership, several initiatives, such as conferences, workshops, tournaments, and
more, have been organised to advocate for LGBT rights and ensure that everyone can enjoy, participate
in and practice football.

Football League Fan Survey
Derby County is pleased to confirm Porterbrook Leasing Company as the new presenting partner of the
North West Corner at the iPro Stadium.
The rail-based company have taken up the sponsor of the North West Corner, which will now be known
as the Porterbrook North West Corner.
The sponsorship agreement also entitles Porterbrook to entertain clients on matchdays and there are
also community aspects of the partnership.
Porterbrook specialises in the leasing of all types of railway rolling stock and associated equipment.
As one of the three major rolling stock leasing companies, Porterbrook has been active in the UK rail
industry since it was privatised in 1994. By providing freight and train operating companies with modern
rolling stock they can be assured of high standards of reliability and performance from their fleets.
Passengers can also benefit from comfortable services and the latest technology.
Since privatisation, the industry's
approach to train operation has
changed dramatically. With many
new operators entering the market, a different perspective to service provision has emerged. Whether
operators are seeking a fleet that
is provided to them service-ready
each day, or whether they prefer
to retain in-house responsibility for
daily maintenance, Porterbrook
offers a range of lease options to
suit the full spectrum of
requirements.
This support extends to third party
suppliers, and, Porterbrook has
developed strong relationships
with material suppliers to manage
commercial aspects on behalf of
its customers. Similarly, if
engineering modifications are required, Porterbrook is ideally placed to implement improvements.
Derby County’s President & Chief Executive Sam Rush said: “We’re thrilled to announce Porterbrook as
the new presenting partner of the North West Corner.
“We’re really pleased that a local business will be featuring prominently at the iPro Stadium and add
them to our list of club partners.”
Paul Francis, Porterbrook’s Managing Director, said: “Porterbrook is delighted that it is the new presenting
partner of the North West Corner Stand at Derby County.
“The football club is at the heart of the community within which Porterbrook operates and invests and
as a business we look forward to working with our partners at the iPro Stadium on local and community
initiatives.”

Players To Look
Chris Gunter has made over 60
caps for wales, however he has not
featured once in their qualifying
campaign. He is currently playing
full back for reading FC. He is unlikely
to be picked for wales in euro
2016 however if their fullbacks get
injured Chris Gunter will be first
choice to fill in.
This experienced LB/CM has only
played 6 times in Irelands qualifying
campaign. He has not been
playing much football for burnley
this season however he can play
two positions for Ireland and can
be a versatile player. We think he
will be included in the preliminary
squad but unlikely that he will get
past that stage.
Carroll has played 5 games for
Northern Ireland in their qualifying
groups. He has only conceded 4
goals against tough opponents in
their group. He is experienced at 38
years old and we think he will be
included and start in the team just
because of his experience.
Adam Henley is our young star
pick as he made his full debut for
Wales in the friendly match versus
the Netherlands on 13 November
2015. We believe Henley has a lot
of potential and will be included
in Wales euro 2016 team. Don’t
expect many minutes from him as
he will used as a back up to their
already established full backs.
Baird is another guarnentee player
that Ireland will take to the euro’s.
He has played 9 games in the qualifiers
and has been a pivotal player
in their campaign. He is 33 years
old and experienced hard hitting
centre half.
Experienced mid
took part in 8 ga
during their euro
paign. Known fo
tackles and aggr
will be a starter
tournament.
For At Euro 2016
Norwood has been had a pivotal
part in N.Irelands qualifying
campaign playing ten matches for
them and provided 3 assists. He
is a centre midfielder with good
passing and tackling abilities. No
one thought northern Ireland would
make it through their group let
alone finish top. He will be taken
and starting every game for them
no doubt about it.
Gudmundsson has played in 7 of
Icelands fixtures in their euro campaign.
He has played as a forward
for his country but has failed to
score a single goal and providing
just one assist. Iceland could use
him as a centre attack midfield
player where he plays for Charlton
athletic. We think he will be picked
for Iceland in euro 2016 but will
find himself on the bench.
Currently on loan from Watford
playing for Championship team
reading Vydra offers the Czech
Republic a pacey attacking option.
We don’t think he will be selected
for the first team however will be
used as a impact sub.
Andrea Weimann is a player Austria
must take to the 2016 euro’s in
France. He has played a pivotal
part in both Derby’s and Austria’s
football campaigns. We will be
shocked if he does not get selected.
fielder Tozser has

Murphy has played in 6 of Irelands
qualifying games with just one
assist to his name. He is a strong
attacking midfielder which can
play anywhere on the front line.
He played 65 minutes of the game
against Germany which Ireland
won 1-0. As he has been picked to
play against the top teams in his
qualifying group we believe he will
be picked for euro 2016 but used
sparingly.

THE NEW GUYS
In recent weeks there has been a string of managers
being fired or leaving their respected clubs.
This in turn has opened up positions for new
managers to take their turn in battling it out in the
Championship and for some old faces to make a
return and bring back the glory the fans know they
can bring.
So who are these men and what experience will they
bringing along with them?
Huddersfield
David Wagner’s footballing career has seen
him spend the majority of his playing
career in Germany for clubs such as
Mainz and FC Schalke. Whilst being
born in Germany and playing
national football for the German
youth teams, Wagners farther
was American and made him
elgible to play for the USA
in which he made 8 international
apperances for them.
Under 21’s at Craven Cottage to making sure the first
team are on the track to success in the
Champonship.
Grants previous managing experience came from 1
unsuccesful season at Norwich City so he will be
looking to improve and show his expertise in
management.
Blackburn
Paul Lambert is a tough Scottish
manager with Premier League
experience.
His managing career has seen
him spend 4 years as head
coach of Dortmund II.
He was close with working closely
with one of the worlds current top
managers Jurgen Klopp and this
working relationship
led to rumours Wagner was going to follow
Klopp to Merseyside before his iminant arrival at
The Yorkshire Club just days after the rumours
surfaced. Will he be able to bring some of his
experiences from working with Klopp to the
John Smith’s Stadium and push the blub
into the top half of the table come the
end ofthe season?
Fulham
Peter Grant is currently caretaker
manager at Fulham promoting
him for his role managing the
ON THE BLOCK
Lamberts playing career has seen him play for a
couple of top european teams such as Borissia
Dortmund and an 8 year career at Celtic. Lambert
Was a Scottish international playing all the way
through youth level and making 40 senior
apperances for his country.
QPR
Neil Warnock is one of the English Games
most decorated and longest surving managers.
Warnock is more known for his managerial
successes than his playing career but
you cant ignore the fact he had a
playing career for a number of
well known english teams for over 11 years, This
playing career has seen him play 327 at senior level
for clubs such as Chesterfield, Barnsley and Crewe.
Neil Warnock is currently in a Caretaker manager
position at his former club QPR. Warnock started his
managerial career right at the bottom of the
footballing world at Gainsborough Trinity FC but
swiftly moving on to Burton Albion.
Warnocks successes soon started to come once
he got into league football managing Third Divison
team Notts County in which he managed to get
them succesive promotions to reach the First
Divison. This succes made him a target for clubs
such as Chelsea and Sunderland who he ended
up turing them down to stay at County until a poor
season saw them miss out on the newly formed
premier League and ultimately lose his job.
Warnock moved to Huddersfield Town where it took
him just two season to gain them promotion and
get himself into the hearts of Terrier fans for
evermore a thing new manager David Wagner will
also be looking at doing whilst hes in charge.
Neil eventually found himself in charge of his boyhood
club Sheffield United where he had his longest
managerial stint and further great sucess by finally
getting a team into the Premiership .

Burnley FC in The Community
It was a single email from his doctor’s surgery that kick-started Ian Cardy’s life-changing journey with
Burnley FC in the Community.
The email, sent in April of this year, detailed an innovative, free-of-charge new programme Burnley FC’s official
charity were piloting called Men’s Healthy Weight Management Programme. In search of motivation and
feeling inspired by the varied and dynamic activities on offer, Ian signed up to the 12 week course.
“The programme started with a thorough health check”, Ian, 45, explains. “When the team told me my results;
that my body age was 60 years old, I was dehydrated and my weight was over 17 stone – I was genuinely
shocked. I’d been told before by my doctor that I needed to lose some weight, but the idea I was living in the
body of a 60 year old man, aged only 45 years old in reality, stayed with me and I was determined to make
changes”.
Ian joined a group of 15 men, varying in age and fitness levels and became a regular at the Monday evening
sessions. With a programme including boxing classes, treasure hunts in Towneley Park, boot camps and gym
workouts – there was plenty for Ian to get his teeth stuck into.
“I really liked how the sessions were different every week. We weren’t simply taken to the gym; we were out
and about, trying different sports and the challenges always kept us on our toes. Throughout, the team were
totally supportive and approachable too. A real highlight for me was when we ran up to the Singing, Ringing
Tree from Turf Moor. It’s something I could never have done before I started the programme.”
And the results of Ian’s commitment to the programme are visible for all to see. “My family, friends and work
colleagues can’t believe the change in me in just a few months”, Ian says. “I’ve dropped three stones now, my
body fat percentage has halved and my body age is now down to 31 years of age! I feel better than I have in
years and the little changes I’ve made to my diet have made all the difference.”
And Ian is quite literally conquering mountains now he’s feeling so fit. In September, Ian joined a group of ten
fundraisers to climb Wales’ highest peak, Snowdon, to raise money for Burnley FC in the Community.
“It was a fantastic experience personally but it was also great to take part in the Snowdon Walker to give
something back to the charity. Burnley FC in the Community works with the most vulnerable people in our
area; from young people to senior citizens and they are so passionate about they do. I’m hoping to take part
in another fundraising event for the charity in the future – I’m looking for next the challenge!”
Burnley FC in the Community would like to congratulate Ian on his incredible achievements and also thank
him for raising almost £700 for Burnley FC in the Community.
School Comes First
Seven Burnley FC in the Community volunteers have just returned from nine days in the Lower Volta
Region of Ghana, carrying out vital building work at a local primary school.
This is the second year the department has run the trip in conjunction with African Adventures, a UKbased
volunteer travelling organisation. Over the course of a week, the team contributed to the construction
of a new classroom block at the 300-student Dedzidi Primary School.
Siobhán McNamara, Partnerships and Events Executive for Burnley FC in the Community, who travelled
with the group to Woe said: “The work we carried out during our time at the Dedzidi Primary School was
demanding but incredibly rewarding.
"As the local builders we worked with have no access to basic tools, we were required to mix the cement
by hand before moulding each individual brick.
"Despite this, we formed around 200 bricks over the course of the week and we then used these to
build three dividing classroom walls. It was brilliant to meet the children who will benefit from the new
build and we were made to feel so welcome by everyone we met. We feel very proud to have worked
with such a special community.”
The group’s work was managed by The Young Shall Grow International (TYSGI), a non-profit organisation
based in Woe that works with numerous local partners to assist the community’s most needy
children and adults.
Each volunteer raised over £2000 to take part in the trip, with a percentage of the funds generated
also contributing to Burnley FC in the Community’s charitable work in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale.
The team took 14 suitcases full of football kits donated by Burnley FC fans, as well as pens, books,
toys, clothes and shoes.
The volunteers who travelled to Ghana were; Abbey Merrifield, Chris Wilson, Denise Mclaren, Jane
Priest, Joe Robinson, Lisa Merrifield and Siobhán McNamara.

Former Wolves Man Launches New Art
Were he still involved in playing football then Jody Craddock would no doubt have been among the legion of Premier League
and Championship players trying to catch up on a bit of rest this international weekend.
Instead however, the popular 40-year-old will be very much on
duty at the launch of his new art collection at the Antidote Art
Gallery in Lutterworth.
The exhibition has been a year or more in the making, and marks
a watershed for the footballer-turned-artist who has hopefully
found an identity to excite both the critics and potential
purchasers alike.

Parachute Payments
At an EGM earlier today, Football League clubs voted to increase the parachute payments made to clubs relegated
to the National League from the beginning of the 2016/17 season.
At an EGM earlier today, Football League clubs voted to increase the parachute payments made to clubs relegated
to the National League from the beginning of the 2016/17 season.
The two clubs relegated from Sky Bet League 2 currently receive 50% of the equivalent Basic Award payment
to League 2 clubs for one season, but from next season onwards will be paid:
- 100% of the equivalent Basic Award payment made to League 2 clubs in the first year following relegation.
- 50% of the equivalent Basic Award payment made to League 2 clubs in the second year following relegation
(unless a club achieves promotion back to The Football League at the first attempt).
The Football League's Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey said: “In recent seasons we’ve seen a number of clubs
suffer severe financial trauma following relegation from The Football League and in some cases fold altogether.
As a result, it became increasingly clear that we needed to review existing arrangements and address our
approach to managing the financial transition for clubs in these circumstances.
"I would like to pay tribute to our clubs for taking this
decision which is testament to their collective solidarity, given that the League's financial distribution formula
means that the bulk of this money will come from funds
that would otherwise be provided to Championship
clubs, who are ultimately the least likely to benefit from
it."
Clubs also voted to amend the existing parachute
payment regulations within The Football League which
will see:
- Clubs relegated from the Sky Bet Championship
receive 11.1% of the Basic Award payment to
Championship clubs for one season.
- Clubs relegated from Sky Bet League 1 receive 12.6% of the Basic Award payment to League 1 clubs for one
season.
This change will ensure that clubs receive an enhanced figure that is proportionate to the wider increase in
financial distributions to clubs emanating from the League’s new broadcasting agreement. For illustrative purposes,
this would have equated to £230,000 and £85,000 respectively for the current season (whereas relegated
clubs actually received £120,000 and £50,000 respectively under the previous regulations).
Clubs have also introduced a new regulation requiring them to ensure that their ground and playing squad are
available for a period of 4 days following the end of the regular league season to play or complete any previously
postponed or abandoned matches. Additionally, existing regulations relating to clubs that default on transfer
payments to their fellow clubs were strengthened.

Save The Children
University Campus Milton Keynes will
continue to support talented youngsters
in the region by extending its
partnership with MK Dons Football
Club.
The partnership will see UCMK
support the club and, in particular,
continue to sponsor seven MK Dons
Academy teams, ranging from the
Under-9s to Under-15s.
Dr Gordon Mellor, Campus Director at
UCMK, said: “We are committed to not only provide high quality educational facilities in Milton Keynes but
raise the profile of the importance of this type of education within the local area.
“Partnering with MK Dons has given us a great opportunity to build that awareness locally but also support
some talented individuals coming through the youth ranks at the club.
“We are delighted to continue the partnership.”
The partnership, which runs until at least the end of this season, includes corporate sponsorship which will see
the University brand across various MK Dons digital and print platforms, as well as big screen adverts at stadiummk.
University Campus Milton Keynes has been a club partner since the 2013/14 season making this its third season
as a partner and supporter of the MK Dons Academy.
The Dons’ youth teams are overseen by Director of Youth Mike Dove, who said of the link between the club and
UCMK: “It is fantastic to see the University of Bedfordshire getting behind the Academy and showing support to
local boys aiming to achieve their dream.
“This partnership also highlights to our young players how important education is and points to an alternative
future if they do not make it in the professional game.’’

Qpr To Embrace Social Media
Club confirm official partnership with Academia ...
QPR have reached agreement with Academia to become the
club’s first official social media partner.
The relationship will provide Academia – who are experts in
the supply of software, hardware, managed services and
training solutions to Education, Government, Not-for-Profit,
Business, Pro-Media and Employee Benefits markets – with a
prominent social media presence across QPR's platforms.
The partnership, which will begin with immediate effect, will
see QPR trial the latest technology for behind-the-scenes
content, with Academia also providing product placement for
commercial and educational usage for the club and QPR in
the Community Trust.
Ian Taylor, QPR’s Head of Media & Communications, told
www.qpr.co.uk: “We are delighted Academia have agreed to
come on board as our first official social media partners.
“We pride ourselves on being a forward-thinking and innovative media department and Academia share similar values in their line of business.
“I’m sure we can bounce ideas off each other over the coming weeks and months and utilise the latest technology to provide Academia with
case studies that will in turn benefit us both.”
Academia Director, Mark McCormack, who is also a lifelong QPR fan, added: “As a fast growing Technology Group we’re constantly looking at
innovative technology and developing solutions, particularly flexible mobile platforms which meet the needs of SME and Educational institutions.
“Our core values are very much in line with QPR’s vision for the future and we are therefore looking forward to this partnership and introducing
exciting technology to the club.”

Charlton Educate About Health
Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) have been teaching children in Bexley and Bromley how to live healthier lifestyles
Jake Martens reports
Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) have been teaching children in Bexley and Bromley how to live healthier lifestyles thanks to a
second Healthy Heart Grant from national heart charity Heart Research UK and sandwich brand SUBWAY® stores.
To celebrate the halfway point of the project, a pre-match presentation took place before the Saturday’s Championship home game against Sheffield
Wednesday at The Valley, with some of the youngsters involved in the project attending the game.
CACT received a grant of £10,000 to run the six-week programme called “My Goal is a Healthy Heart” in 30 primary schools across Bexley
and Bromley, teaching youngsters about healthy eating and exercise. It followed a successful project last year in 34 schools in Greenwich that
engaged over 4,000 children.
This year’s project, supported by the Addicks’ players, has included visits to schools to give 30-minute workshops to teach children about
healthy lifestyle choices, and is followed by half an hour of activities, which could include football, basketball, cricket or other sports.
The courses cover the benefits of exercise, healthy eating, the circulatory system, alcohol, drugs and smoking awareness. Parents from each of
the schools are also given the chance of health checks, health advice and referral to other services.
The project has already visited 15 schools and reached 1,350 children through the six-week programme and is aiming to reach 11,250 people -
2,700 children through the classroom programme, 8,100 families through homework tasks and 450 adult health checks.
Elements of the programme were also delivered through workshops to 700 children during summer holiday camps, and to parents and children
through summer housing estate projects where they engaged with children and adults.
Head of Football and Sports Development at CACT, Sean Daly, said they were very pleased to have received the further grant, which has given
Charlton Athletic Community Trust the chance to engage with local schools in different forms of activities other than sport.
“We’re delighted with the work we’ve done so far with this project in engaging children and their parents in healthy lifestyle awareness as well as
increasing physical activities for children,” he said.
“We received funding for this project last year, and are very grateful to receive a further year of funding from Heart Research UK and SUB-
WAY® stores.”
Heart Research UK Lifestyle Manager Barbara Dinsdale said that working with the football club is an ideal way of reaching out to the schools
and the wider local community.
She said: “Football clubs like Charlton Athletic are the perfect ambassadors to deliver healthy heart messages to young people to encourage
them to adopt good lifestyle habits themselves, and share them with their families and friends. We’re impressed with what they have achieved
so far through this project.”
