The Bio Revolution: Innovations Transforming and Our Societies, Economies, Lives
The Bio Revolution: Innovations transforming economies, societies, and our lives economies, societies, our and transforming Innovations Revolution: Bio The The Bio Revolution Innovations transforming economies, societies, and our lives May 2020 McKinsey Global Institute Since its founding in 1990, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to help leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors understand trends and forces shaping the global economy. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on employment, physical climate risk, income inequal ity, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and financial globalization. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: co-chairs James Manyika and Sven Smit, and director Jonathan Woetzel. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, Anu Madgavkar, Jan Mischke, Sree Ramaswamy, Jaana Remes, Jeongmin Seong, and Tilman Tacke are MGI partners, and Mekala Krishnan is an MGI senior fellow. -

With the advent of the Word Processor the opportunity has been taken to convert these original hard copy indexes into electronic format, to amalgamate them into one document, and to bring the index up to date. From this point forward future indexing will be relatively straightforward and the index will be updated within a short period after each bulletin is published. To those members with a PC it will be available on-line, alternatively up-to-date hard copy prints will be available on request from the Publications Officer. The index now provides easy access to an enormous corpus of high quality information covering virtually every topic within British West Indies philately. As the number of subjects covered has expanded over the years it has been deemed necessary to sub-divide the topics under each colony heading into four separate categories, each entry being listed in alphabetical order. -

The Varney Air Gram an Introduction
The Varney Airgram An Introduction (Part 1) Stamp Club Program November 2020 Joe Voice A Varney Airgram (front) This program is being presented in two installments. The first provides the background needed to understand the origin of the Varney Airgram. The second will cover details associated with the Airgram itself. Vickie recommended I show you a Varney Airgram on the first two pages of the first installment so you could see what this is all about. You don’t see a Varney Airgram again until the second installment. A Varney Airgram (back) I’m dedicating this program to Howard Ness (Spokane Club) who introduced me to the Varney Airgram. His clothesline presentation of his Airgram collection given at the Moses Lake Philatelic Symposium quite a few years ago sparked my interest in them. My interest resulted from their connection to CAM-5 which I was collecting and researching. I started to accumulate them. That accumulation has grown enough to result in this study of them. My next project will be to design and build a multi-frame philatelic exhibit that presents what I have learned about the Varney Airgram. US Post Office Air Mail Service Inaugurated an experimental airmail route on May 15, 1918: • Mail was flown between New York, NY and Washington, DC with a stopover in Philadelphia, PA. • The Army cooperated in the venture by providing both the flying equipment and pilots. • On August 12 the Post Office took over the entire operation of the route furnishing its own aircraft and pilots. The short 218 mile distance covered did not permit any substantial time- savings advantage over railroad mail service. -
