Russia not mulling extension of Aleppo truce: Deputy FM
Russia says it is not considering any extension of a ceasefire in Syria's northern city of Aleppo, where Moscow and Damascus had introduced a humanitarian pause.
The question of renewing the humanitarian pause is not relevant now, Sergei Ryabkov, the Russian deputy foreign minister, told Interfax news agency.
The unilateral ceasefire was aimed at permitting civilians and militants not affiliated to terrorist groups to leave the eastern areas of Aleppo. It expired on Saturday evening after a one-day extension on Friday.
Ryabkov also stressed, Our opponents must ensure appropriate behavior by the anti-government groups that in particular sabotaged the medical evacuation that was intended during the humanitarian pause in order for the truce to be extended again.
Russian and Syrian Air Force fighter jets had even stopped bombing the militant-held neighborhoods in Aleppo on Tuesday � two days ahead of the truce.
Russia said the militants prevented the residents of Aleppo from leaving the city through the eight humanitarian corridors that had been set up.
Ryabkov also censured the US-led coalition purportedly targeting the Takfiri terrorist group of Daesh in Syria because he said it was not really exerting influence on the opposition, the rebels and instead was slamming Damascus and Moscow.
Over the last three days, what was needed did not happen, he said.
Aleppo, Syria's second largest city, has been divided between government forces and the militants since 2012. In an attempt to free the trapped civilian population and to end the militants' reign of terror in the east, the Syrian army, backed by Russian fighter jets, began a major offensive on September 22.
The Syrian army has continued to make advances against the Takfiri militants in the southwestern countryside of Aleppo on Monday.
Syria's official news agency, SANA, reported that the Syrian forces managed to take Talet Bazo to the southwest of the Military Academies from the Takfiri Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly known as al-Nusra Front.
Also on Monday, the militant groups fired rockets at the neighborhood of Salahuddin in Aleppo, leaving a girl child killed and wounding 15 other people.
Syria has been grappling with a deadly militancy that it blames on some Western states and their regional allies since March 2011.
More than 400,000 people have been killed in the conflict, according to an estimate by UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura.

You don't have to be depressed to take supplements which I'd like to dub as "feel good pills." In fact, since these are made of natural ingredients, most everyone can take them to improve mood and overall health (except for underlying conditions).
In a nutshell, fish oil is found to contain EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids which are good for the heart.
To learn more on how beneficial are fish oil supplements, read my previous posts on fish oil here.
Vitamin B-complex is primarily beneficial for energy production as well as carbohydrate metabolism (borrowing the description from the brand in the picture above). But it also helps replenish lost B-vitamins when we're stressed.
Flaxseed on the other hand is rich in both ALA (alpha linoleic) and linoleic acids as per the label of the product image above which are both healthy fats.
According to Web MD on the other hand, flaxseed's main useful components include omega-3 fatty acids (which was discussed earlier under fish oil), lignans (which contain estrogen and plant anti-oxidants), and fiber. The presence of estrogen in flaxseed makes it a regular recommended supplement for those who are looking for natural, alternative breast enhancement options.
I've included this brand to this list because it can technically be considered a feel good supplement as well. This product promises to help improve mood and lower stress levels through a combination of herbs and botanicals including saffron, lemon balm, chamomile, and Rhodolia extract. All of which are known for their mood-enhancing properties.
Note that I am not promoting any product, brand, or company and these are just suggestions. Before you take any supplement, it's best to consult a doctor first or at least research.

Over 300,000 jobs could be at risk in the Travel & Tourism sector in the United Kingdom and almost 400,000 in Europe if the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 29 March, according to a new analysis from the World Travel & Tourism Council released on Monday. A "No Deal" Brexit would have a damaging impact on one of the UK's most important economic sectors.
To minimize the impact, it is crucial that: The UK should continue to have access to the Single Aviation Market; 2. Visa-free travel between the UK and EU should be maintained and the movement of people should be as seamless as possible while maintaining security; The mobility of labor for Travel & Tourism employees across the UK and EU should continue; 4. Security co-operation to avoid hard border checks and lengthy delays are paramount.

Not to worry, those £350,000,000 a week for NHS compensates for all troubles.

10 Best Worst Movies on Netflix
Entertainment, Netflix
Can you even imagine a category of worst movies on Netflix? Well, of course not because there isn't any. But as you know the currently trending thing is that things so bad are so hard to ignore and this is what applies here too. Every once in a while we love to criticize things that we end up watching them.
For all those people who are not some god like perfect people and love to waste their time watching such movies this section is to all of you. It is comprised of the worst movies ever along with their ratings provided so that you can literally imagine how they lack everything from storyline to screenplay.

1. Bad Ass (2012)
Rotten Tomatoes: 20% IMDb: 5.5/10
So, the list of worst movies on Netflix starts from Bad Ass. As the name says a lot but the movie is nothing like its preppy and edgy name. This American movie is directed by Craig Moss and stars Danny Trejo, Charles S. Dutton, Ron Perlman and other actors in it.
The movie mostly got negative reviews and what saved it a bit was below average rating from IMDb. Apart from it, the movie was a big flop.
So, what went wrong? The movie was based on a viral video of AC bus transit. The lead of the movie Danny Trejo plays the role of Frank Vega who is a Vietnam war veteran and living a difficult life. Well, one day he beats two skinheads in a bus and this makes him utterly famous.
The movie moves further with crazy plot twists and mystery murder of Frank's friend Klondlike Washington and the rest of the movie goes in solving it. A dull movie with no certain objective is what I would sum up for it.
2. Cowboy Vs Dinosaurs (2015)
What sounds sillier than the name of the movie is the fact that bunch of cowboys fighting with dinosaurs in 21st century and unnecessary timely bloodshed. The movie is directed by Ari Novak and stars Eric Roberts, Rib Hillis and other actors in it.
What actually happens in the movie is that one day a mining site near Montana explodes and what leads further is the emergence of dinosaurs from it who were somehow managed to live in the middle of the mine from a long time.
Can you believe it? And if we even believe it what leads further is the attack of dinosaurs on nearby town and gun handling cowboys fighting with them to survive. I wish I could give it the best worst movies award.
To be true, I found it truly the deserving one to be in the list of worst movies on Netflix. And don't you dare to watch it with kids because there are crazy sex scenes in the middle of nowhere and girls going skinny dipping too.
3. The Cobbler (2014)
Rotten Tomatoes: 9% IMDb: 5.8/10
The next to join the bandwagon of worst movies on Netflix is The Cobbler. This directorial venture of Tom McCarthy stars Adam Sandler, Dan Stevens and others. Can you imagine an Adam Sandler movie being flopped? Well, unfortunately, that is true.
The Cobbler is a magic realism comedy drama movie which ultimately sank at the box office and also criticized a lot which you can clearly get from its ratings.
So, the plot is set in 1903 in New York City and currently, it is about a cobbler named Max Simkin. One day, when his stitching machine goes out of order, he tries to fix the shoes from an old one. And meanwhile, he puts it on to check when he realizes that he has transformed into the owner of these shoes.
Well, the rest of the movie is followed by some crazy adventures which literally leads to nowhere. However, the movie has a great climax but it could not hold the movie together.
4. Yoga Hosers (2016)
Yoga Hosers is a horror comedy movie written and directed by Kevin Smith. Okay, although the movie stars Johnny Depp and his daughter Lily Rose Depp along with Kevin Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith, this amazing movie could not be saved till now.
The movie is up for online streaming on Netflix but before you watch them let me tell you it's a shear disappointment.
The two main characters of this movie are Colleen Collette and Colleen McKenzie who are 15 years old and learning Yoga. The story is a bit crooked in which in a night party some kind of magic brings up small monsters who kills Colleens friends who were actually Satanists.
To be true, Yoga Hosers comes under such worst movies on Netflix where you cannot even make out that what the hell is happening throughout the movie. It is actually so bad that you would love to share a laugh with your friends while watching it.
5. Avalanche Sharks (2014)
Avalanche Sharks is a Canadian TV movie directed by Steven Santiago. Can you imagine from its utterly disturbing ratings that how poor the movie actually is? Well, you should definitely read out the description to judge it more.
This inclusion in the list of worst movies on Netflix stars Alex Mendeluk, Kate Nauta, Gina Holden and Emily Addison in it.
Well, the movie starts from a snowboarder accidentally causing an avalanche which wakes up a giant "snow shark" who starts killing humans for its appetite. Of course, hard to believe such concepts but the movie is entirely based on this.
The Twin Pines Resort starts to hide the news the death of people from this strange creature. But now some snowboarders come to their rescue to save them from this giant shark. Of course, the story makes no sense and the utterly disturbing ratings are a proof that it was a big flop.
6. Dawn Patrol (2014)
Dawn Patrol is an American thriller movie directed by Daniel Petrie Jr and the next one in this list of worst movies on Netflix. The story of this movie is rather twisted and it is going to take you at least two three takes to understand it fully.
I mean can you imagine that a guy named John who murders someone joins marines to save himself from this guilt and the next thing you know is that even you can do it. I mean how silly is that?
So this guy John actually kills the wrong man in order to avenge his brother's murder. But he finds himself in a desert on a gunpoint and this time this is someone else who is going to avenge on him.
This revenge game totally screws people's mind and if you are someone who love to watch movies online please skip this one because it is going to twist your current state of mind completely.
7. Spiders (2013)
Although the movie is available in 3D but I think more than technology you need a strong storyline to win audience's heart. This science fiction horror movie directed by Tibor Takacs. To be true, you are going to afraid from spiders twice than ever after watching this movie.
So, what actually happens here that Debris from destroyed Soviet Space Station falls on Earth and they brings the mutated spiders along with it.
Of course, that is not possible in real life but yeah, these spiders starts to kill people and lay their eggs in their dead bodies which even multiplies their numbers. With some inside people serving to Russians starts to make the situation even worse, the movie loses its track right there.
Spiders could go like Godzilla but ended up losing its plot to conspiracy theories which landed the movie in this list of worst movies on Netflix.
8. The Ridiculous 6 (2015)
Next one in the list of worst movies on Netflix is The Ridiculous 6 which is a western comedy movie directed by Frank Coraci and stars Taylor Lautner, Terry Crews, Luke Wilson and other actors. Although a Netflix original venture, the movie turned out to be hilariously a flop.
Ok, I don't know how to put together the long elaborated story of this movie but let me start with the character Tommy Stockburn played by Adam Sandler.
Raised by Native Americans, he is called White Knife. One day a man Frank comes to the town and claims to be his father. Well, however, he soon gets kidnapped by a group of bandits and now Tommy must have to save his just found father which is actually kind of hard to believe.
Although this movie is a completely let down you can download movies online which are on the same theme but better than this one.
9. Love Wedding Marriage (2011)
Rotten Tomatoes: 28% IMDb: 5/10
As weird as its title sounds the movie is kind of same too. Directed by Dermot Mulroney, this romantic comedy movie stars Mandy Moore, Kellen Lutz and other actors in it. If a Mandy Moore movie can go flop then you can imagine what has happened to cinema.
Well, moving on with the plot of the movie then it is about a newly wedded couple Ava and Charlie who really wants to spend their rest of the life together.
However, on their parents' 30th anniversary, her mother came to know about his father's previous affair that he had millions of years ago and Ava moves his father with her without even asking Charlie. And in the urge of fixing her parents' marriage she starts risking her own marriage.
I found the movie slightly better than most of the worst movies on Netflix and all thanks to the main characters for it but still, the crazy plot loses the storyline and the movie sank on box office.
10. Leo the Lion (2013)
Usually, I have no offense against the animated movies but Leo the Lion turned out to be a huge disappointment. Although it garnered better ratings than other worst movies on Netflix listed here, still you cannot consider it a good flick.
The movie is about a vegetarian lion who feels troubled fitting in the clan of his race and in the jungle because you know mediocrity.
So, this lion Leo sets out on a quest to find the real purpose of him. Being a lion he faces troubles like human poachers, crazy predators etc. But he is on a mission to let some animals meet their actual parents so he has to move somehow.
To be true, I didn't find it relevant to reality and I think you have a lot of great options to watch best movies on Netflix but this one is a total failure.
After reading the basic plot of these worst movies on Netflix you must be wondering that how did they manage to even get released? Well, even I was thinking about the same. In fact, there are some movies which got really worst ratings from critics but still, they managed to shine on box office.
This is not the end of the list, there are more such movies available on Netflix which are even worse. However, I somehow managed to bring these handpicked ones down for you. Make sure to watch them at your own risk and don't blame me if your mind gets blown after watching them.

Differential impact of smoking on mortality and kidney transplantation among adult men and women undergoing dialysis
Stack, Austin G; Yermak, Darya; Roche, David G; Ferguson, John P; Elsayed, Mohamed; Mohammed, Waleed; Casserly, Liam F; Walsh, Stewart R; Cronin, Cornelius J (2016-07-26)
Abstract Background The extent to which smoking contributes to adverse outcomes among men and women of all ages undergoing dialysis is uncertain. The objective of this study was to determine the differential impact of smoking on risks of mortality and kidney transplantation by age and by sex at dialysis initiation. Methods We conducted a population-based cohort of incident U.S dialysis patients (n = 1, 220, 000) from 1995–2010. Age- and sex-specific mortality and kidney transplantation rates were determined for patients with and without a history of cardiovascular disease. Multivariable Cox regression evaluated relative hazard ratios (HR) for death and kidney transplantation at 2 years stratified by atherosclerotic condition, smoking status and age. Analyses were adjusted for demographic characteristics, non-cardiovascular conditions, laboratory variables, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors. Results The average age was 62.8 (±15) years old, 54 % were male, and the majority was white. During 2-year follow-up, 40.5 % died and 5.7 % were transplanted. Age- and sex-specific mortality rates were significantly higher while transplantation rates were significantly lower for smokers with atherosclerotic conditions than non-smokers (P < 0.01). The adjusted mortality hazards were significantly higher for smokers with pre-existing coronary disease (HR 1.15, 95 % CI (1.11–1.18), stroke (HR 1.21, 1.16–1.27) and peripheral vascular disease (HR = 1.21, 1.17–1.25) compared to non-smokers without these conditions (HR 1.00, referent group). The magnitude of effect was greatest for younger patients than older patients. Contrastingly, the adjusted risks of kidney transplantation were significantly lower for smokers with coronary disease: (HR 0.60, 0.52–0.69), stroke; (HR 0.47, 0.37–0.60), and peripheral arterial disease (HR 0.55, 0.46–0.66) respectively compared to non-smokers without these conditions. Conclusions We provide compelling evidence that smoking is associated with adverse clinical outcomes and reduced lifespans among dialysis patients of all ages and sexes. The adverse impact is greatest for younger men and women.
Prevalence and variation of Chronic Kidney Disease in the Irish health system: initial findings from the National Kidney Disease Surveillance Programme.
Stack, Austin G; Casserly, Liam F; Cronin, Cornelius J; Chernenko, Tetyana; Cullen, Walter; Hannigan, Ailish; Saran, Rajiv; Johnson, Howard; Browne, Gemma; Ferguson, John P; et al. (2014)
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major non-communicable chronic disease that is associated with adverse clinical and economic outcomes. Passive surveillance systems are likely to improve efforts for prevention of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and inform national service planning. This study was conducted to determine the overall prevalence of CKD in the Irish health system, assess period trends and explore patterns of variation as part of a novel surveillance initiative.

Ise, where Japanese people want to visit at least once in a lifetime
Ise Travel Guide
Ise City is located in the eastern area of Mie Prefecture.
Ise is home to "Ise Jingu Shrine". It is a famous shrine and it is not an exaggeration to say there isn't a person in Japan that isn't aware of it. Here, Amaterasu, the God with the highest position in Japanese Shinto is enshrined. Amaterasu is likened to the sun, and Ise Jingu is thought of as a hometown to the heart of the Japanese people. Visiting Ise Jingu has long been a goal of many people in Japan and even when transportation was not easily accessible during the Edo period, hundreds of thousands of people visited from all over Japan. The long trek to Ise Jingu in order to worship, may perhaps be the beginning of the concept of "journeying" to the Japanese people.
There are two shrines at Ise Jingu, "Ise Jingu Geku, Outer Shrine" and "Ise Jingu Naiku, Inner Shrine" and it is regular practice to worship at each in that order.
After visiting Ise Jingu, enjoy a stroll through Okage-yokocho Street area and Oharai-machi area. Visitors can enjoy local gourmet such as Ise Tea and Ise udon noodles. The contrast between the solemn Ise Jingu Shrine and the bustling streets in the area provide an experience as if visiting two different worlds.
The nearest station to Ise is Ise-shi Station or Ujiyamada Station. However, it will take time when arriving from outside of the area because the bullet train does not pass through either of these station. By train from the relatively close Nagoya Station, Osaka Uehonmachi Station, or Kyoto Station, it is 2 hours by train to Ujiyamada Station. There is no airport in Mie Prefecture so visitors must use Central Japan International Airport in Aichi Prefecture when arriving by plane.

Meeting Navy's New Pacific Commander
Jerry Coffee
You can tell a lot about a naval aviator just by his call sign. Recall in Top Gun, Tom Cruise was "Maverick" because he was one, and his crewman was "Goose" because he had a long neck. Call signs are usually awarded by your squadron mates early on in your career, the subject pilot doesn't have much to say about it, and the call sign usually sticks with you your entire career.
As I was being escorted to the office of Adm. Scott Swift, the brand-new commander of our Navy in the Pacific, a command stretching from the coast of California to the midpoint of the Indian Ocean, one of the public affairs officers escorting me casually referred to the admiral as "Notso." With his last name being "Swift," I immediately realized "Notso" was his aviator call sign. (I had known a Marine pilot whose last name was "Bright" and whose call sign was also "Notso").
Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr. salutes Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter as he assumes command of U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) during the joint USPACOM and U.S. Pacific Fleet (PACFLT) change of command ceremony at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. During the dual ceremony, Adm. Scott H. Swift relieved Harris as the PACFLT commander and Harris assumed command of USPACOM from Adm. Samuel J. Locklear III U.S. NAVY PHOTO BY MASS COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST 2ND CLASS JOHANS CHAVARRO
By this time, I knew I was about to meet a man with a great sense of humor, a man totally comfortable in his own skin, a man who values the camaraderie of his mates, and a man whose leadership was based upon a strong sense of appreciation and humility.
I soon learned my intuition had served me well.
Four-star Adm. Scott Swift is uniquely qualified to command the Pacific Fleet. All of his previous operational assignments have prepared him well, especially his command of the 7th Fleet, essentially our Pacific operational Navy. And to top it off, he is a native son of Hawaii. While his father was stationed at Pearl Harbor aboard the USS New Orleans, he was born at Queen's hospital. He barely recalls living in Halawa Heights near Halawa Market, which he was surprised to see is still there. He maintains a true affinity for the place of his birth and feels the aloha spirit is alive and vibrant.
He related an airport incident, where he witnessed a local man's commitment to help an elderly stranger who seemed confused. The guy sent his wife on ahead and put his own priorities on hold until he put the stranger on the right path to get where he needed to be. "I love that about this place," he said.
The admiral especially was pleased that all four of Hawaii's congressional delegation attended the previous day's Change of Command ceremony, a portent of good military/community relationships to come, as the Navy and civilian leadership work together to solve the few but nearly inevitable conflicts of interest.
During his earliest Navy days (in the 1980s) as a junior officer, he admits to being ambivalent about a Navy career, but his continued successes in his various assignments always interfered with leaving — so much so that he often has referred to himself as "The Accidental Admiral" (not be confused with another Navy admiral who recently wrote a book by that name).
Obviously from a close-knit family, he told me of his appreciation for the accomplishments of his siblings. "My sister (who attended Punahou) has left a stronger legacy as a schoolteacher than I will ever leave as a naval officer, and my brother has accomplished amazing things in basic research."
He says his dad always says, "I am not proud of my children, I am in awe of them." He told me of an airport TSA officer who thanked him for his service, and his response was, "No, thank you for your service. We are both working to keep our fellow Americans safe."
As a part of his leadership style, he always reminds his people that it is their individual success that leads to our common success as families or teams or military units. And he points out this is especially so in Hawaii: "People don't come to Hawaii for the climate, but for the culture."
The image of a well-trained team of paddlers comes to mind. He discussed the value of empathy and the importance of "empathic leadership."
"What is the most important thing I do, you ask? I build relationships. And I believe relationships must be built upon trust, and trust is built upon vulnerability. (Think "Notso.") And the metric of trust is loyalty. If you have the loyalty of your people, you can accomplish anything."
He concluded, "You know, I love being back in Hawaii. I feel like I've never left."

Because of their developing body systems, young children are less able than adults to adapt to heat and other climate-related conditions – both physiologically and metabolically. Because of their developing immune systems, they are at a greater risk of getting diseases and dying from them. They are also more likely to be killed or injured during climate change related events and disasters.

When you live in Australia, spiders are just part of life. About six months ago, I was introduced to the Spidentify App (available on Google Play and App Store) and our family has been using it ever since. Essentially, Spidentify is a tool that can help you identify spiders in Australia using a database of over 250 species. These types of apps make you notice and appreciate the little bugs around you.
When we see a spider, we take a picture on the phone (if we can).
Then we use the app and go through the questions, referring back to the image for reference. I've provided an example of this process below.
Once the questions are complete, the app shortlists spider types and you can search through them to find your spider. We've had a 100% success rate!
There are nine questions. So for example, we saw this interest spider at our place.
Pick the body shape (we find referring back to the image helpful). Don't stress too much about getting the right one, because we have found going with what you think works well.
We have found our spider in the list every time we have done this. When you have found your spider, it will provide further information. So interesting! Just a note, sometimes the male and female varieties can look quite different (so check both of them). In this case, the male corresponded with her spider.
If you have a bug lover in your family, they will appreciate this app. I too, have found it fascinating, and it's made me appreciate the little details. It's good to stop and notice these things. Find out more details here Spidentify App.

Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inspection Report and Recovery Support Programme
Meeting of Cumbria and Lancashire Joint Health Scrutiny Committee, Tuesday, 9th November, 2021 11.00 am (Item 19.)
To consider a report by the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (copy enclosed).
The Committee received a report that provided the outcome of the CQC inspection that took place in April 2021 and a subsequent unannounced inspection in August 2021 to medical services at Royal Lancaster Infirmary. The outcome of the inspection was that the Trust remained at a rating of requires improvement. The paper described the must and should do's the Trust was required to undertake. The importance of system wide working with partners on such issues as discharge pathways and information sharing on discharge, ED pathways and direct referrals/direct access was recognised. The paper also described the NHS England/Improvement (NHSEI) Recovery Support Programme (RSP) that had been established to ensure the delivery of sustainable quality improvements across the Trust.
The Chief Executive, introduced the report by thanking system partners for their hard work and commitment, working in a very pressurised environment, over the last 18 months. The Chief Executive introduced the Interim Chief Nurse who outlined the key findings from the CQC Inspection Report. Members were informed that there were a total of 90 recommendations, 57 Must Dos and 33 Should Dos. It had been recognised that a number of the recommendations were duplicated and had therefore been incorporated into one recommendation for the purpose of the Improvement Plan. The Interim Chief Nurse informed the Committee of the Section 31 Notice issued to the Trust, the license for Stroke Services and a Notice of Proposal to impose conditions for regulated activities in relation to Maternity and Midwifery Services on all three sites.
Members were informed that since the receipt of the CQC Inspection Report, the Compliance and Assurance Team had worked with partners to develop the Improvement Plan. The Plan had been submitted to the CQC on 1 October 2021. The Trust representatives outlined action that had and was being taken to address the recommendations. Members noted that all the recommendations had been assigned to a responsible Executive Director and Assurance Committee and progress of them would be reported to the relevant Committee and then onto the Trust Board on a monthly basis. The need for sustainability was reiterated throughout the report.
The Intensive Support Director outlined the National Policy Context – System Oversight Framework (SOF) and Recovery Support Programme (RSP). Organisations in SOF 4 would be provided with a new Recovery Support Programme (RSP) which also required local system partners to play a key role in addressing system related challenges and develop supporting system solutions to the challenge(s). The NHSEI North West Region established the Morecambe Bay System Improvement Board in April 2021. The Intensive Support Director outlined the development of the exit criteria from the RSP and the recovery support proposal. The themes from the recommendations overlapped with themes identified as areas of focus in the Trust's Forward Improvement Plan and were included in the Recovery Support Programme.
To conclude the report, the Chief Executive, endorsed the new approach and expressed confidence in the sustainability of the changes in the long term.
Members, in discussion, requested sight of the monthly RAG rated action plan and the Chief Executive agreed to provide this. The Chief Executive gave an update on the work that was taking place in Stroke Services. In answer to members' questions, the Trust's representatives outlined the Trust's financial position, the commitment of the Executive Board and the changes that were taking place to the membership of that Board. Members were assured of the Board's engagement in the process and were informed of the significant changes that were taking place in their reporting processes. It was noted that the Board was reintroducing visibility at ground level following the lifting of restrictions.
Recruitment and retention of staff was discussed and the Trust's staff vacancy and sickness levels. Members noted that the overall turnover of staff was currently at 9% and sickness levels were between 8 and 9% compared to a normal level of 4.5%. The impact of the high sickness level, the ability to cope and the measures to address these were discussed. Following a question on staff morale and motivation, the Trust representatives confirmed staff commitment to improvement and change.
Members questioned the impact on patient treatment and 'No Right to Reside' formerly referred to as 'delayed transfers of care' (DTOC). The Interim Chief Nurse reported that surgical operations had been impacted and highlighted the difficulties faced by the hospitals currently running at 98/100% occupancy. Partnership work was taking place to address the 'No right to reside' figures ensuring the right package of care was in place and patient safety remained the key priority. The impact of changes needed in social care were recognised and a member asked what could be done at a local and national level to assist this. The Trust representatives confirmed the mechanics of the process were correct at a local level, but more placements were needed, and more consistency would be desirable at national level.
The Director of Communications outlined a range of engagement events taking place for Executive Teams of Local Councils, local MPs and interested parties.
To conclude members requested an update report. It was therefore:-
RESOLVED, that
(1) the Trust's Action Plan be circulated to the Committee on a monthly basis;
(2) a further meeting be arranged to receive an update report on the CQC Action Plan and the outcome of the Community Beds Consultation.

A lovely young mom and wonderful artist — someone I count as a friend — wrote to "check in" on me and my "green (and tender) heart — in light of all this devastating news coming from Japan."
I know that this woman has a tender, green heart herself. "Between the human loss and the environmental impact (and nuclear issues), well, it makes me overwhelmed. How about you?" She continued: "These are scary times. And how scared should we be? I hate being a parent in times like these. Are people overreacting? What is your opinion on such matters? Because I'm silently freaking out.... I want someone to tell me, nahhhh there's nothing to worry about, everything will be fine. But I know that's a pipe dream."
I realized then, as I explained to another friend, that I had been hovering between the panic of not understanding (the nuclear situation in Japan, the connection between global warming and natural disasters) and "oh, for heaven's sake, relax" — and didn't have a clue which way to go.
Ignorance has not been blissful over the last few days. So I started reading. Knowing is no better, however. But my nightmare is not the usual one. Mine is that the world over, it seems, people are petrified of nuclear fallout that might never, ever impact them ... and totally oblivious to the global warming fallout that is impacting their whole biosphere. The vitriol and invective now being hurled at anyone who suggests the global climate change emergency is a bigger threat than the Fukushima nuclear accident is nightmarish, too.
"Tonight my kids were afraid to go to sleep because they didn't want to have bad dreams. I burned a sage smudge wand in their room to chase the bad dreams away. They went to sleep. And I think to myself after checking the news all evening, that I am in a bad dream and I can't wake up. So I've been sitting in the kids' room watching them sleep for the last hour or so. To remind myself of the light in all of this darkness."
Yes, our beloved children ... all the children, of all species ... are the light in all of this darkness. Let's hope we can stop all the nightmares before they wake up.
p.s. My heart goes out to all those impacted by the earthquake(s), the tsunami(s) and the nuclear accidents in Japan. Please visit Prayers for the Earth to share what others are feeling (scroll down to the bottom of the page).


The years in between my Hashimotos diagnosis and the next were a haze for me.  I was a wife, a mom, I worked full time and I caught every bug all the time.  The years were busy but I was always sick.  I thought it was picking up stuff because my job entailed me being in the public and the kids brought home all kinds of bugs over the years.  I don't know when it was exactly but I remember feeling like I had the flu forever and continual migraines, lets NOT forget migraines.  My thyroid levels were checked frequently and adjustments made but I always was feeling like crap.  I had my appendix out and thought that some of the feeling like crap was when that was starting to go.  So many things all seemed to happen at once.
So this forever flu brought constant low grade fevers, nausea and frequent diarrhea. Â If I had a fever, nausea or diarrhea I can't work. Â Some people may be able to but I can't so I was the one from work who was "always sick" and was a let down to coworkers.
Diabetes was my next diagnosis. Â In the beginning of 2012 the nausea, headaches and flu like symptoms just seemed to be endless. Â I remember my husband testing my sugar one morning before I'd even had my morning tea. Â Well my fasting sugar was 9.2 and that was high. Â Called my doctor and got to see him within a couple days, more tests and metformin was started and yeah I got to add a new doctor to my team. Â I was referred to an endocrinologist. Â My sugars were all over the place, I was sick, I was losing weight and was a my lowest weight since before kids.
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a slow progressing form of autoimmune diabetes. Like type 1 diabetes, LADA occurs because your pancreas stops producing adequate insulin, most likely from some "insult" that slowly damages the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. But unlike type 1 diabetes, with LADA, you often won't need insulin for several months up to years after you've been diagnosed.
The Endocrinologist and his nurse said I wasn't a type 2 diabetic and it was the first time I'd heard the words LADA and type 1.5 and progressing Type 1. Â I found out that I was a slowly progressing type one diabetic who could be managed on pills, diet changes for a few months to almost two decades. Â The average is six years I was told. Â A new medication was added, metformin was increased and I tried to cope. Â I was off work for a few weeks on short term disability, we had recently gotten a puppy after our house being too quiet after our previous Labrador had left for the Rainbow Bridge. Â I was feeling down but depressed wasn't a word I could say. Â My hubby begged me to go with him and Keely to her vet appointment. Â It was sunny and he thought a drive would make me feel better. Â He was trying to make me happy. Â The day ended on a not so happy note and I went back to work way to early and hadn't really digested that I was a diabetic.
One thing I did do was go gluten free because I thought that it would help get me better. Â I thought if I just ate better I'd get better. Â Yeah, that didn't work. Â I was still sick all the time. Â My sugars were regular and any spikes would be from something I ate that I shouldn't have. Â I'm now on three pills with an A1c that is perfect in the eyes of my endocrinologist. Â He's given me another six month of just the pills and said that the my current issues which are the Lupus and Fibro are the "bastards". Â His words not mine.
Thanks for reading part two of my journey. Â Part one is here if you missed it. Â Part three is "the Bastards".

I wish you were down here with me, and not up there with God.


Created from a blend of Muscats, Riesling and Pinot Gris, this slightly off-dry is truly a sum of its parts. The Muscats bring huge aromatics of orange blossoms, the Riesling brings in citrus and bright acidity, while the addition of Pinot Gris adds weight in the palate and rounds out the wine. This is very versatile and pairs well with sunshine but it also has enough guts to pair with salty foods and spicy asian dishes.
There's something likeable about this pinot gris that opens with peach yogurt, lemon curd, pear and banana notes boasting a boisterous tropical theme. The palate is ripe and plump, similar to 2017 but with a little better acid. Certainly a crowd pleaser but could ascend even higher with a little tightening. Best now with a favourite curry or spicy sushi rolls.
100% wild fermented and aged in older French oak barrels for 14 months. Shows notes of smoked meat and earth surrounded by loads of black fruit, flowers and minerality.


Do different racial/ethnic groups have different giving patterns, and do gender differences affect giving within and across these groups?
Do these groups give to different causes?
Do different racial/ethnic groups have different patterns of volunteering, and do gender differences affect volunteering within and across these groups?
Does wealth affect patterns of volunteering and giving?
Households across all racial groups make substantial charitable contributions.
Although racial disparities in giving do exist, all groups give at a substantial amount. These differences in giving are lessened among high-net-worth donors.
All racial groups give to both secular and religious causes.
Religious organizations top the charitable causes supported by all racial groups of the general population. High-net-worth households, however, give most to secular causes addressing basic needs.
Race does not have a significant impact on the amount given to charitable causes.
When viewed as a percentage of income, there is no significant difference between the charitable contributions made by African American, Hispanic, and white households.
But a donor's gender does.
Gender differences in giving are consistent across racial groups. Single women donate more than single men, and married couples donate more than both.
Volunteering does differ by race.
Among the general population, white households volunteer the most. Among high-net-worth households, Hispanics who take the lead in volunteering. Although these findings do not control for other factors that may influence volunteer behavior, however.
Gender differences in volunteering resemble gender differences in donating, except for Asian American households, where single men volunteer most, followed by married couples.

BFV: You've been working in the industry and with VET for a quiet a few years now - what keeps training fresh for you?
Joan: Everything in our business is moving and changing all the time – that keeps it fresh. People are always different, course content needs to be constantly updated and the mode of training delivery changes too. The developments in online learning and blended learning (part online part face-to-face) have brought new challenges over the last few years. I enjoy seeing those work well. New projects such as In Frame are dynamic and inspiring. We've been running a Creative Editing course for seven years - a blended learning module which is partly self-study and partly guided learning. This is hugely beneficial for people wanting to develop their creative editing and extend their skills beyond the functional. Generally these people have good craft skills but may not have the media literacy needed to take that creative step and we open the door for them with this course. People find it very motivating.
VET doesn't seem like your average training provider. Can you briefly describe your training setup and what courses or modules you offer?
We are unique in that we deliver post production services alongside training so we can share our working knowledge in our training courses - 'we do it we share it' is our motto. VET cooperative was set up in 1985 with a clear mission that we still hold today: to provide solid, informed training for people who are making film, TV and video content. We encourage new work and new voices in film and TV, and we give filmmakers and craftspeople the skills they need to develop their careers.
These are things that we think give VET a different 'vibe' – we are not solely commercially driven. We primarily train people in Post Production: creative craft skills, technical, workflows and higher-level overviews for Producers and Managers. We teach Avid, Adobe and Apple software and were the first designated Avid Training Centre in the UK. We are still a leading pro Avid Learning Partner (ALP) delivering Avid Certified programmes plus our own bespoke Avid courses. We design and deliver lots of one-on-one and bespoke training too – customised to specific client needs (even training people in other post houses).
Given the expense and time it takes to train and acquire qualifications, do you think that people's energies might be better spent gaining experience and building contacts as a way into the industry?
It is just not an either/or. To get into the industry you need an education and we really need people who are well educated - that doesn't necessarily mean a degree. Experience and making contacts generally comes after you have become employable and a qualification shows what you know and the level that you can work at.
There are different educational routes into the industry offering very different experiences and skillsets. Some people get in on the 'shop floor' and work up, some get experience and training through apprenticeships, and others go through Higher Education and get work experience at the same time. What gets you a job is having something to offer along with being collaborative, communicative and the desire to be technically proficient. Networking can help make opportunities but you will always need good reliable and current skills.
Many graduates are in principle work-ready but need a top-up of very specific skills training to make them employable. Last month, for example, a young graduate from a respected media degree, who wants to be an editor, came to us for a technical top-up. He had the aesthetic and conceptual grasp of what it takes to make movies, and an intelligence about story-telling and content creation, but needed technical skills. After a short course on current professional practice he will be an asset as an employee. Now he needs the contacts and experience and opportunities to shine.
The news on Apprenticeships is a good strong move - based in the workplace with structured training and paid, albeit at a low wage level, if the training is well executed then it's value for money. It does, however exclude people who cannot afford to live on the low wage.
Are short courses better value for money?
They are different value for money. People find that the cost and time for focused CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and short course training generally give value for money.

What do you think about the industry's agenda on equality and diversity?
A renewed commitment to the diversity agenda is welcome and overdue, I am only sad to be revisiting it again after 25 years. We really have to keep this continually at the top of the agenda if we are to effect any change. Too often it's the first principle that gets dropped, particularly in an economic climate like today. There are a number of companies and organisations committed to equality of opportunity and since its inception Creative Skillset has actively promoted diversity. PACT, ITF and MITA do a good job of promoting good practice but we need to try more and new techniques.
What would your advice be to someone who has completed their training and gained a qualification, but cannot find a job, or does not know where to look for work?
Just get any work, and decide what you can learn from it – it's all experience. Our industry wants people who know the world of work. Keep your eye on the main game though, don't get stuck. If you want to work in post production you may need to top up and learn specific skills to get one step ahead, and you need a 'can do' attitude too. If you want to be a director, make stuff. Get to know the Industry. Go to festivals, be present online, go to the many events and shows, find collaborators, engage in forums, read the trade magazines, learn about the companies that you respect and want to work for. Don't give up – it can take a while. Hope to be lucky.
Joan, looking into the crystal ball now, and given your 25 years in the industry, what are your predictions for the next generation of people coming into the industry?
The next generation are digital natives, not necessarily more creative but certainly with great cross-platform fluency. We need people skills, client services skills, business nous, and good communication - we always will.
What I want in our next generation of staff are: creative technologists, pro-active learners, visual creatives, ingenious thinkers and inventors, witty story-tellers, creative problem solvers and obsessive perfectionists to oversee many routine but vital tasks. Not much to ask?

Imagine a life free from addiction!
Detoxing is the first and most crucial step to recovery. Like other obstacles in life, the first step is always the hardest step. Stopping without professional medical supervision is not only unsafe – it's destined for failure in more ways than one. When a person stops 'cold turkey', the consequences can be deadly. Sudden alcohol or drug cessation can cause hallucinations, convulsions, and even heart seizure that may result in death. This isn't something to take lightly and is an excellent reason to seek professional help from drug rehab centers.
Our rehab center in Orange County is designed to take a safer and more effective approach. You're not alone in this journey, and in fact, you will be more successful and healthier when you do it with help.
ReAlign is a State Licensed and accredited clinically managed detoxification and residential treatment center in Southern California. We use proven therapeutic techniques to rebuild lives and restore brain function. Our extensive knowledge and experience in drug, alcohol, and opiate detox and behavioral-based treatments are used to transform lives. Our detox program builds on numerous therapies and strategies, including counseling, group support, massage, yoga sessions, vitamin infusion, and nexalin treatment to help control anxiety and depression. Our program offers full support for both physical and mental illnesses, both of which are connected to drug and alcohol abuse. Full cleansing requires healing in both areas.
Nobody wants to feel sick, so we developed a healthier detoxification program that minimizes discomfort. This program is also based around proper health and nutrition. We're committed to providing the highest quality care and keeping your safety and comfort in mind, making us one of the best alcohol rehab centers around. You'll feel comfortable and relaxed from beginning to end and upon completion you'll feel better, think clearer and sleep sounder.
ReAlign has a dedicated team of trained professionals who work one-on-one with our clients, making sure they receive the best treatment catering to their individual needs. We're one of the best drug detox centers in Southern California because we only service a limited number of people at a time, so you'll experience an individualized plan tailored to your particular needs. Every program is personalized to the individual's needs, the frequency and amount of substance abuse, and mental and emotional state.
Employing the most compassionate staff, ReAlign pledges to painlessly guide patients through the trials of withdrawal. Addiction treatment is only effective when each patient is given a customized recovery plan, based on their unique level of addiction. We make sure you never feel like a number.
At our detox retreat, we have 24/7 on-site medical staff available to provide follow-up and after care and comfort meds, and we accept many major insurance plans.
Our small intimate setting is designed for your comfort and privacy. We understand recovery is an intimate process, and requires individualized attention.
We want you to feel at home. You can recover in confidence with peace and quiet. Private room available upon request.
Located in beautiful Southern California, ReAlign Detox is just minutes away from the beach and scenic hiking trails. Enjoy beautiful sunsets and sunrises.
We go the extra step to really ensure quality and safety. Client centered dietary needs addressed, massage and yoga are just some of the amentities ReAlign provides. Of course, 24 hour staff and nurse always.
A life without addiction is only a few clicks away. ReAlign your presceptive and imagine yourself drug free! Don't wait start today!
YOU CAN RECOVER. THERE IS A SOLUTION!

I acquired a spinal cord injury in 2008 after a motorbike accident (yep, I was one of the few sensible teenagers).
Since that time, I have been dealing with and coming to terms with this new way of life, thinking and working at not becoming angry with every annoying person and inaccessible choice you make.
From the planning every miniscule detail of a trip, slowly teaching friends that an acceptable option for a night out isn't in the basement of a night club without and elevator (no, I don't want to be carried by three drunk people down a flight of stairs) and being met with broken elevators or 5 stairs after you called a restaurant in advance asking if they have an accessible entrance.
Whilst there are tonnes of blogs out there in the world, I have always wanted to start my own to provide a space for accessibility options, ideas on different equipment that seems to be limited, travel destinations that I visit and my thoughts on all thing disability to help the rest of the community with a physical disability.
If there is anything that you would like me to focus on, please contact me via my contact page.


Shouldn't we spice up election nights with a real family fest?
For retirees such as us, polling day in Westminster elections is a leisurely one where we don't plan anything in particular.
How different it was when we were working parents, trying to fit in voting with supervising homework, making dinner, preparing for the next day's work and hoping the polling station wouldn't close before we got there.
Would young people be more inclined to vote if there was a party atmosphere?
I've always thought that a Friday would be a better day for such an event because those of us who like to sit up all night watching the results come in can eschew sleep since Saturday, for most, isn't a work day and children don't have to go to school.
I have an American friend who tells me that her friends and neighbours make a point of staying up all night for political results. Not only that, bars stay open and coffee shops and cafes also stay open 24 hours to provide food and drinks for those who skip out for a break, many in their dressing gowns. Few can resist the lure of that moment when it's announced who the next President is going to be.
Here, towns and villages all over the province are expanding rapidly with new housing close to the built-up areas so, it's quite possible, that our future election nights may mirror the American style, a social event in fact where families gather together for an all-nighter in the house which has the biggest screen and the best carry-out food.
West, south, east and north Belfast could launch the 24-hour Election Fest with pubs and cafes offering enticing ways to keep everyone awake.
Those of us living in the country could plan our own mini fest for neighbours and friends maybe with accommodation thrown in. It could even provide a boost for the economy.
Young people are reluctant to vote but if they thought there was an all-night party in someone's house for the big event they might take more interest. How depressing it is to see young people of voting age being interviewed on television not even knowing who is standing for election in their own area. ''I'm not bothered,'' is a common refrain. So shouldn't our elections be made more exciting?
The News Letter ran a front page story this week that audiences for this week's two televised leaders' debates had plunged. I have to confess I switched them on then quickly found myself something useful to do because watching shouting matches are not my thing. Even the national televised debates were dreadful.
Theresa May made the right decision to avoid the first one. I suspect she is too polite to argue and shout. This paper's political editor Sam McBride had his own take on why viewing figures were down for the local debates. He wrote it could be "that due to this election having been fought on far more overtly orange and green lines than that in March many voters know who they are voting for and therefore did not watch the debates''.
With the possibility of another Stormont election this year that could mean another couple of depressing televised debates over the virtually unsolvable, protracted political problems we have here, problems which could take a couple of generations to shift. I certainly won't be sitting up half the night for any results. But I will have sat through Thursday's results.
In the midst of our politically charged times, last weekend I went to a wonderful open air concert on a beach in south Derry. I struck up conversation with a young English concert goer who ran a business in London. He thought the concert venue and the entertainment fabulous.
Yet he had never heard of Lough Neagh, probably the largest fresh water lake in the United Kingdom.
Hopefully he knew nothing of our convoluted politics either. Northern Ireland is a great place yet we are so bad at getting that message to the wider world.


It's sweaty, spicy, saucy - and totally gratifying - work to whip up the annual Seat 1A list of food and restaurant trends, and 2016 was no exception.
Linda Burum is a freelance food writer and a contributor to the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Magazine and other publications for decades, and author of the landmark book A Guide to Ethnic Food in Los Angeles. She's a frequent judge for the James Beard Foundation awards.
Christine Couvelier is a global culinary trendologist, executive chef and culinary executive. Through her consulting company, Culinary Concierge, based in Victoria, British Columbia, she assists clients in launching food products and menu items.
Mike Thelin is a food and hospitality expert and advisor to many leading brands and organizations. He is co-founder of Feast Portland, one of America's top culinary festivals.
Bret Thorn is senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News with responsibility for spotting and reporting on food and beverage trends across the country. He has also studied traditional French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.
Some of the trends on past lists remain popular: all-day breakfast, poke, fried chicken, avocado toast, lobster rolls, truffles, kale, Brussels sprouts, bitters, copper mug cocktails, customizable fast food, upscale vegan cooking and restaurants filtering and bottling water on site. Click for previous lists from 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
And see the end of this story for some ideas on the horizon that may end up on future lists.
Look for more ingredients like kimchi in conventional comfort foods like burgers. Image: iStock.
Even five years ago, Korean kimchi and gochujang, Japanese dashi stock and Sriracha hot sauce were seen as exotic in the U.S. mainstream, but now they're everywhere. "Bottles of Sriracha are becoming as ubiquitous to diner condiments as ketchup and Tabasco sauce," says Mike Thelin (Linda Burum notes that they're even in Mexican fast food restaurants, where presumably there are other hot sauces), "and 'kimchi mayo' doesn't require an explanation."
Part of this, Thelin says, is that "fermented foods and chili sauces add depth and complexity that marry incredibly well with classic comfort dishes."
Case in point: Robin Selden calls her small plate of chicken and waffles with kimchi slaw and Sriracha maple syrup "one of the best things we make."
Bret Thorn calls this trend "a popular way to put a new twist on classics" that "grounds consumers in something that seems safe, and thus gives them the freedom to be more adventuresome."
This category is actually sort of a double header, between restaurants culturing their own butters in house and compound butters, with other ingredients mixed in. "A good local or European butter softened to room temperature and a fistful of herbs is all it takes" for a compound butter, says Mike Thelin. Truffle butter is a classic, he says, but compound butters can be "the bases for loads of possibilities and experimentations."
Some of Robin Selden's favorite compound butters are wildly diverse: nori, toasted sesame and ginger; lemon, tarragon and popped capers; madeira and shiitake; even double chocolate and hazelnut. "Taking butter to another level is an easy special touch," she says, "particularly when served with a great bread."
Coconut is "riding the superfood bandwagon and also the anti-dairy one," says Bret Thorn.
"Lots of versatility," says Christine Couvelier. "We are seeing it not only as coconut water and beverages, but look for innovation with chips, crackers, spreads, oils, vinegars," not to mention coconut flour and coconut coffee creamer.
Robin Selden uses coconut milk in panna cotta and gluten-free, vegan coconut truffles, and coconut water in fruit popsicles. That said, she finds "people either love this versatile fruit or hate it. It's much like cilantro in the catering world."
"The cook-it-yourself meal kit movement is America's food revolution coming full circle and landing back in the kitchen," says Mike Thelin. Outfits like Blue Apron, Purple Carrot (which specializes in vegan cooking), Peach Dish (Southern cooking) and other regional services ship pre-measured ingredients with recipes to consumers, who can cook at home.
The rest of our panel is not so sure, with comments like "a fad rather than a trend" (Christine Couvelier), "the field may be overcrowded" (Linda Burum) and "not sure how long they'll last" (Bret Thorn).
"I do feel that meal kits may have been helpful in teaching consumers portion size, preparing in advance for meals and even introducing them to new recipes and flavors," Couvelier says, but she also says that about "90% of customers drop the service in the first 6 months." She also wonders about all the packaging waste they generate.
Still, Thelin predicts that "This is a trend that will continue as more chefs are planning to launch similar services around the country."
Don't know dukkah? Our experts bet you will. Linda Burum calls it "the Egyptian blend of toasted seeds, nuts, and spices that adds crunch and pizzazz to just about everything" and notes that "it's now everywhere from a zillion cooking blogs to food-oriented magazines." Ingredients vary from chef to chef and coast to coast. Burum cites, among others, James Beard award-winning chef Ana Sortun of Oleana in Cambridge, Mass., who uses it over Moroccan carrot salad and a dukkah crunch doughnut. Chef Alon Shaya of Shaya in New Orleans "splashes it onto okra," while pastry chef Alison Cates of Honey's in Chicago "turns out a curry-infused sponge cake under Turkish-coffee mousse and dukkah-spiced toffee shards."
"I was hoping to keep this as our secret ingredient as I love when our clients question what it is," says Robin Selden. "Guess the word is out."
Surprised to see this one on the list? So was I, given that "There's still a strong anti-farming bias among some chefs and consumers," as Bret Thorn says. "But as they become more educated, they're coming to understand that this is a complex issue. Aquaculture is being done more responsibly, and eating wild fish from badly managed fisheries can drive them to extinction."
The devil appears to be in the details. "Available information still seems inconclusive," says Linda Burum. "The health and safety of the fish depends on how and where they were raised."
Mike Thelin agrees that "Farm-raised fish can indeed be sustainable and of high-quality, but like anything, it all comes down to the details, the product and the producer."
"A biggie for 2016," says Linda Burum, who gives much of the credit to Top Chef competitor Dale Talde (whose Talde gastropubs are in Brooklyn, Jersey City and Miami) and his cookbook, Asian-American, for having "spread the Filipino-American gospel." She notes that Bon Appetit named the D.C. Filipino restaurant Bad Saint as America's second-best new restaurant in 2016.
Mike Thelin says Filipino cuisine "celebrates massive flavors and funky combinations—but with approachability, generosity and downright love." Like the Philippines itself, Filipino cooking has absorbed diverse influences from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Japan, Spain and even the U.S., with dishes spanning simple pork filled buns and lumpia (spring rolls) to adobo (braised pork or chicken), pancit (stir-fried noodles), roasted and stewed pork, flavors generally heavy on the vinegar and coconut, and desserts like halo-halo, a flexible mix of that might include sweet beans, coconut, sticky rice, purple yam, shaved ice and sweet sauces.
"I will never tire of using miso in my cooking!" proclaims Robin Selden. "The flavor profiles that you can create from this complex paste are unlike anything else." Although the fermented soybean paste is most closely associated with Japanese cooking, its versatility puts it in its own category from the other Asian influences above.
Mike Thelin calls miso the "Swiss army knife of the pantry—it can do anything," adding umami, depth and complexity way beyond miso soup in sushi bars: marinades, salad dressings, bar snacks (Selden makes crispy miso chick peas and almonds), even donuts and ice cream like Selden's white miso, ginger and lychee flavor.
"The eye-rolling can stop now," says Mike Thelin. As diners look for more dairy-free and vegan options, cheeses made from nuts "have taken a massive leap."
Thelin, Bret Thorn and Linda Burum all credit maker Kite Hill (by Chef Tal Ronnen of L.A.'s Crossroads Kitchen, which appeared on our food trend list in 2013), with starting the movement – Thorn says that Ronnen figured out "how to get nut milk to actually act like real milk and make something that's really cheese-like, rather than smashed up and shaped into something resembling cheese."
Thelin calls the new products "good enough for a restaurant cheese plate." Other brands recommended by our panelists include Treeline, Miyoko's, Parmela Creamery and Dr. Cow.
"What a great spice to have as a leading taste!" says Christine Couvelier. All of our experts cite turmeric's health benefits as an anti-inflammatory ("helps with aches & stiff joints, promotes balanced mood, helps with inflammation," Couvelier says).
Bret Thorn notes that it's long been a favorite "among the supplement, juice-cleansing crowd" and is "widespread in Southeast Asian cuisines (and Indian, too)," and Couvelier now sees it in everything from bone broths to salad dressings, and it's showing up on cocktail menus including L.A.'s popular EP & LP restaurant (the Silly Rabbit mixes turmeric in with vodka, carrot juice, almond cereal milk, lemon and cayenne).
Mike Thelin simply calls it "one of those perfect foods."
Trends on the horizon: There were a lot of honorable mentions on this year's list.
Some of the panelists like the prospects for goat meat; it's entering more menus from its traditional home in Mexican and Caribbean cuisines, but none of our experts felt it had gone mainstream yet. Same for sherry, which is enjoying growth in some markets and is beginning to break out of Spanish restaurants. Personally, my favorite new food of the year was Thai ice cream rolls (yes, outside of Thailand), but almost nobody else seems to know about them.
One pattern - if not exactly a trend - that seems to follow real estate is restaurants getting priced out of high-rent cities like New York and San Francisco. "Smaller cities around the country win as chefs set up shop in places where lower costs allow them the flexibility to be creative and not be too beholden to investors," says Mike Thelin.
"Compounding the price challenge," Bret Thorn says, "there are now interesting food scenes in every major city. Why battle it out in New York or San Francisco when you can thrive in Cleveland or Nashville and have a backyard and affordable parking?"
And one trend that some like and some of our experts don't: menus for dogs in restaurants for people. I've seen it at Danny Meyer's Shake Shack, and Linda Burum has spotted lactose-free ice cream for dogs at Roy's Artisinal Creamery in Santa Barbara, Calif. Mike Thelin, however, says "I hope this isn't a trend that lasts."
Will any of these end up on next year's list? Y'all come back and find out.


she is my heal beller and i need a couple more special attackers on my team so i used those.
also, where can i fit in a porygon2?
You really don't have the need or room for a Porygon2. If you really want it though, put it in the Blissey spot. You don't necessarily need a Heal Bell user, though it helps.
Sorry I can't be more help now. I'm tired. Good team effort, and good luck.

We recently published an article on 100 farmers markets that take EBT. However, that is not the entire list of farmers in Georgia that take food stamps. The next category is Direct Marketing Farmers. These are farmers that sell their own products directly to the general public, including fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, and grains. We have compiled a list below of over 180 Direct Marketing farmers that take EBT in Georgia and their locations. Remember that unlike farmers markets where you can buy from different farmers at one location, Direct Marketing farmers are individual farmers selling their own products at their location. As a result, you will have to research which ones you want to visit and get their address information. See the full list below.
You get farm fresh, quality produce that is grown with more sustainable methods (less need for GMOs, antibiotics, and hormones). This means that the food you make will taste better.
You will save money when you buy directly from a farmer. That is because the food sold is grown locally, and does not need to be transported over a long distance to get to you. The savings from eliminating all the middlemen that handle the food as it gets transported to the grocery store gets passed on to you.
You help support your local farmers when you buy directly from them. Lots of small, family-owned farms are going out of business because they cannot compete with the big agribusiness corporations who now dominate American Farming. Your EBT money spent with a local farmer helps to keep them in business.
You learn cooking secrets from farmers when you buy directly from them. Who better to show you how to best prepare a produce than the farmer that grows the food? Farmers are full of cooking and recipe secrets and are happy to share them with you so you can get the best out of the produce you buy from them.
Buying your produce directly from a farmer means you get access to seasonal produce that is grown locally. This allows you to vary your menu and cooking at home, rather than the staples you get at the local grocery store. To learn what produce are in season, click here.
The list is sorted alphabetically by city, and we have also included county information.
We would like to get your feedback on our list of Direct Marketing Farmers. What did you buy? How was your experience buying directly from a farmer? How much of your food stamps money is spent at the grocery store versus at a farmers market or with a direct marketing farmer? Please comment below.
