WHITE 2016: Health Care Poised for Big Data 'Arms Race'
Information technology belongs in health care, but humans need time to figure out the best ways to work with machines like IBM's Watson, participants said Oct. 21-22 at the 2016 Workshop on Health IT and Economics (WHITE) in Washington, D.C.
Integration will require input from diverse players across the health care ecosystem, said keynote speaker Anil Jain, Explorys and IBM Watson Health senior vice president and chief medical officer. "Progress will be incremental," he said. "We have a lot of smart people engaging with think tanks and other organizations."
Such engagement ranges from genomics and cancer-risk research with oncologists from academia to working with Under Armour to analyze data from health-tracking sensors in apparel.
More than 120 health care industry stakeholders gathered for the seventh annual workshop, hosted by the Center for Health Information and Decision Systems (CHIDS) at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business. Participants represented leading experts in policy, research and business.
"The complete pivot in healthcare has finally occurred," said Ritu Agarwal, senior associate dean of research at the Smith School and conference chair. "We are no longer talking about if technology and data are useful — that problem has been solved. Now, we are talking about how we can better use these capabilities and what innovations can we harness to truly transform quality in healthcare."
The WHITE mission "is to deepen the understanding of heath IT design and its impact and to stimulate new ideas for both policy and business implications," AcademyHealth President and CEO Lisa Simpson said in the opening keynote addresss. "Right now the Affordable Care Act and MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015) are stressing the system, but hopefully pushing us in the right direction."
Research often requires four to five years to produce results, but Simpson said new methods are needed for time-relevant research that still maximizes rigor. "The pace of change and transformation of innovation has accelerated to such an extent that the traditional health services academic research model is very much challenged and threatened," she said. "We need answers much more quickly. It's really pushing the field to think differently about its approach to research."
She said the private sector response to such a push is reflected by "a health IT big data arms race" led by four prime players: Google Alphabet, with its intelligent medical search engine; Optum Labs; Merck with its Global Health Innovation Fund; and IBM Watson Health.
Such action shows a shift from a dominantly academic field to one that's much more diverse, Simpson said, noting the 4,000-member composition of AcademyHealth. About 45 percent of the network comes from the academic sector, about 45 percent comes from the private sector and about 10 percent come from government agencies.
Also reflecting this trend is government-supported networks, like the Affordable Care Act-spawned Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, which takes a patient-centric approach to fostering evidence and innovation. "It's a bold attempt to do science differently," Simpson said. "But all bets are off" in terms of the institute's survival past the coming national election.
A third keynote speaker, Harvard Medical School health economics professor Richard Frank, noted the evolution of market competition in the industry and its emphasis on the quality-over-quantity in care and outcomes.
"We're seeing that organizations are figuring out how to manage care and pay attention to quality outcomes, while making money," Frank said. But there's an opposite side to this: The likes of managed care organizations, which are traditionally linked to employer-based health insurance arrangements where underwriting is the name of the game, are losing money and beginning to fall by the wayside.
"We're going to see this evolution continue," Frank said. "They are going to branch into the health insurance marketplaces and the employer-sponsored plans are going to play a lesser role or adapt quickly."
Other featured speakers included Optum Labs' Data Science University Vice President Marc Paradis; Anuj Desai, New York eHealth Collaborative vice president of market development; Pete Celano, director of consumer health initiatives for MedStar Institute for Innovation; and StartUp Health Chief of Staff Jennifer Hankin.
Research sessions involved faculty from leading academic institutions such as University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, Carnegie Mellon University, New York University, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, and over two dozen other research institutions. Additional government agencies represented included AHRQ, FDA and ONC, plus the Brookings Institution and Tenet Healthcare.
The participants shared their latest findings in areas including "machine learning in healthcare," "how health IT affects provider behavior," "healthcare quality information," "predictive analytics," "mobile health," "EHR and HIE," and "online provider reputation and competition." Smith School information systems professor Anand Gopal reported on his research into New York City restaurant hygiene inspection data plus Yelp reviews of the same eateries. He described both findings and a crowd-sourcing strategy to help inspectors counteract restaurateurs who routinely game a hygiene inspection system the city launched in 2010.
"We're seeing the power of big data in reshaping the care delivery model, and several excellent studies using machine learning are presented in this year's WHITE, tackling issues from predicting inpatient admissions to diagnosing cancer and detecting fraud, said workshop co-chair and CHIDS co-director Guodong (Gordon) Gao. "This is really cutting-edge work. The coming years will be even more exciting, with more data available in healthcare and the rapid adoption of machine learning techniques by researchers."
WHITE also included recognitions for Best Paper, Does Hospital Electronic Medical Record Adoption Lead to Upcoding or More Accurate Coding? by Jianjing Lin (Tulane University), Gautam Gowrisankaran and Keith Joiner (both University of Arizona's Eller College of Management); Best Young Researcher lead-authored paper, Classification in the Presence of Anchoring Bias A Model and an Application to Breast Cancer Diagnosis by Mehmet Ayvaci, Srinivasan Raghunathan (both University of Texas at Dallas' Naveen Jindal School of Management) and Mehmet E. Ahsen (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City); and, Best Student lead-authored paper, The Effect of Online Reviews on Physician Demand: A Structural Model of Patient Choice by Yuqian Xu, Mor Armony and Anindya Ghose (all from NYU Stern School of Business).
WHITE is partially supported by a grant from the United States Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ).

Dec. 8, 2018 6:00 a.m.
The Strathcona Regional District has been dealing with policy around emails for directors to be in compliance with freedom of information legislation.
The plan is to get all directors to use a set SRD email address to help comply with the legislation and facilitate freed of information requests.
The regional district is also in the process of going to referenda on Cortes Island over establishing both first responder service as well as bringing in a hall tax to fund community groups' hall operations.
There were non-binding votes in October about going to binding referenda, with each winning a strong majority. Each has to go before Cortes residents for a binding vote.
The issues of the hall tax and email policy dovetailed at the Dec. 6 board meeting when Area B Director Noba Anderson, the Cortes representative on the board, asked for some clarification around emails that other directors received from the public but she did not.
"I have received a lot of communication from citizens who are concerned around directors receiving private correspondence," she said.
She requested the board change its policy, asking that any directors who receive correspondence from the public to submit this into the public record for a meeting in January.
At the most recent meeting, SRD manager of corporate service Tom Yates informed the board there is a session planned for directors in January around freedom of information and retaining records.
Area D Director Brenda Leigh responded to Anderson's request by saying there might be situations in which people contacting a member of the board might wish to remain confidential, though she acknowledged the exception of freedom of information requests.
The situation that prompted discussion surrounds a decision at the Nov. 22 meeting in which the majority of the SRD board voted to get more public input before going to the voters on Cortes Island for a final decision. At the meeting, Area C Director Jim Abram was responding to a presentation in which members of the Southern Cortes Community Association (SCCA) members appeared before the board to ask to have the parcel tax removed as an option for generating revenue and instead go with taxation tied to assessed property values using the mill rate. The SCCA is one of the two groups on Cortes that would like to have a fund established to support hall operations.
Abram said he felt the new information should have come before the board already and that they needed to put any changes before the public for input before the SRD proceeds.
Area D Director Brenda Leigh also referred at that meeting to information she had received from Cortes residents about concerns with the referenda. She said residents were concerned the SRD board was suspending the rules to go "through all four readings" at one meeting. The agenda showed both referendum bylaws were only to be taken up to third reading before going to the public for a vote.
Leigh also alluded to the SCCA presentation from earlier in the meeting, though it is unclear how any emails or other communication from the public could have been about the presentation on Nov. 22.
SRD meeting agendas only list items for discussion prior to the meeting. Subsequently, these are published online with supporting documents. In the case of the Nov. 22 meeting, there was reference to the SCCA appearing to make a presentation about community hall service on Cortes. However, the agenda provided no details about the presentation, including the request to drop the parcel tax as a funding option.
Regarding delays for a binding vote, a number of residents from Cortes Island did not take the news quietly that the SRD is slowing the process to go to referendum in order to get more public input.
The SRD board received a half-dozen submissions from people frustrated after the idea of a hall tax received 69 per cent support during a non-binding referendum on Oct. 20. One submission from Sue Ellingsen contained signatures from her and 19 other people upset by the decision the SRD board made at the Nov. 22 meeting.
Ellingsen outlined the process of hall tax proponents gaining public support through signatures in order to hold a referendum. The SRD responded with the decision to hold a non-binding vote in the fall that would determine if a binding vote was to happen, which was proceeding until the SRD board has decided to get more public input.

Q: What are cannons for on the world map? I've found cannons springing up on the world map.
What do they do and how can I activate them?

A: The cannons function much as the 'Warp Zones' of Mario yore. They allow you to skip a few of the world, generally jumping 4 ahead -- World 1 cannon takes you to Jungle World 5, for instance.
As to unlocking them, you must find the alternate exit (you can tell from the red ending flag) within one of the levels that make up the world, usually the level closest to the cannon itself. If you edit your question to specify which world you're interested in, I can drudge up some more details.

IOM Calls for Restructuring of GME System
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has made several recommendations that would change how the U.S. graduate medical education (GME) system is governed and financed. An IOM committee noted in a July 29 report that the current GME financing system lacks transparency and accountability, and is not producing the types of physicians the country needs. It urged a 10-year transition from the current system to full implementation of its recommendations. Specifically, the IOM recommends the following: (1) maintain Medicare GME funding at its current level, while modernizing GME payment methods based on performance and working to ensure program oversight and accountability; (2) build a GME policy and financing infrastructure that includes creating a GME policy council and establishing a GME center within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; (3) create one Medicare GME fund that includes subsidiary funds to distribute ongoing support for currently funded residency training positions, and to finance initiatives to develop new GME programs and determine appropriate GME performance measures; (4) modernize Medicare GME payment methodology by replacing the direct and indirect Medicare GME payments with a single-payment process in which funding would be paid on a per-resident basis to organizations that sponsor GME programs; and (5) keep Medicaid GME funding in the control of individual states, but require the same level of transparency and accountability that would be required of Medicare GME.

Study: ACOs Flourishing in 2014
As newly insured patients were entering the U.S. health care system at the beginning of 2014, physician practices were moving at an accelerated pace to join accountable care organizations (ACOs). Family medicine and other primary care practices seem to be one of several factors behind the rapid growth of ACOs in the past six months, according to a recent report from the health care intelligence company Leavitt Partners. An estimated 20.5 million persons are now covered by ACOs, compared with an estimated 15 million at the beginning of 2014. Compared with the 491 ACOs as of September 2013, there are now 626 ACOs in the United States. A total of 329 ACOs reported having government contracts, 210 said they have commercial contracts, and 74 said they have government and commercial contracts. Thirteen ACOs had not released final information about their payment contracts when the Leavitt report was published. Of the six major types of ACOs, independent physician group ACOs are typically made up of primary care practices. Such groups include a single ownership unit that does not contract with other specialists and is most often paid solely through the Medicare Shared Savings Program. Larger private insurance agencies are showing a preference for working with larger, multispecialty ACOs that typically have a hospital affiliation.

FDA Warns Against Use of Powdered Caffeine Products
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about powdered pure caffeine that is being marketed directly to consumers, and recommends avoiding these products. In particular, the FDA is concerned about powdered pure caffeine sold in bulk bags over the Internet. At least one death has been linked to these products. Pure caffeine is a powerful stimulant, and very small amounts may cause accidental overdose. Symptoms of caffeine overdose can include rapid or erratic heartbeat, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, stupor, disorientation, and death. Adverse events related to the use of these products should be reported to the FDA (telephone: 240-402-2405; e-mail: CAERS@cfsan.fda.gov).
AAFP Supports Campaign for Dental Health
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has joined more than 70 other organizations in supporting the American Academy of Pediatrics' Campaign for Dental Health, which aims to raise public awareness about general oral health, an increasing incidence of dental caries, and the benefits of water fluoridation. The campaign's website offers a section for health care professionals that includes downloadable information guides for clinicians, patients, parents, and caregivers on topics such as fluorosis and fluoride. According to the campaign, children with healthy teeth do better in school and are more likely to become happy and successful adults. For more information, go to http://www.ilikemyteeth.org.

Greensleeves is een oud Engels volksliedje, een traditional, in de vorm van een romanesca.

Een "ballad" met deze naam werd door Richard Jones in september 1580 geregistreerd bij de Londense Stationer's Company. De melodie is te vinden in verschillende laat-16e-eeuwse en vroeg-17e-eeuwse bronnen, zoals het Ballet MS Lute Book en Het Luitboek van Thysius, en wordt eveneens in een aantal handschriften bewaard in de Seeley Historical Library van de Universiteit van Cambridge.

Volgens de overlevering zou  Greensleeves gecomponeerd zijn door Hendrik VIII voor zijn geliefde, de toekomstige koningin Anne Boleyn.

In de 20e eeuw werd het een jazzstandard met uitvoeringen van onder meer Coleman Hawkins op tenorsaxofoon en John Coltrane op sopraansaxofoon. In Nederland is de versie van de Italiaanse componist en dirigent Annunzio Paulo Mantovani bekend vanwege het radioprogramma Candlelight van Jan van Veen.

Frontpage › News › Data centres became a career for Antti Laine
Data centres became a career for Antti Laine
Antti Laine is a project manager at Fimpec, and for the last 11 years he has worked on data centre projects. He is fascinated by their special characteristics and challenging nature..
Around 11 years ago, a familiar construction contractor got in touch with Antti Laine. Google was starting to build its first data centre in Hamina, and the project needed people who could speak fluent English. Laine said yes, and he has worked mainly with data centres ever since.
"My tasks and responsibilities have varied from project to project, but quality and occupational safety issues have always been part of the job. They are close to my heart," he explains.
Data centres are a special area of construction
Laine ended up working on his first data centre project somewhat by chance, but soon noticed it was a happy coincidence. The project was of a special nature and involved a kind of construction that was still relatively new in Finland in the early 2010s. This was excellent news for Laine, who was willing to learn and test his limits.
"Data centres are somewhat unique construction sites, as they combine a range of different things and the technology used in them develops at a rapid pace. If you build two data centres in the same area one after the other, you can be sure that the technology in the second will be new in comparison to the first. That provides a nice challenge for engineering and construction," he explains.
Laine points out two other things that are highlighted in data centre projects. One is keeping to a schedule and the other is extremely stringent quality requirements.
"Delays to the project are not an option, and the deadline is the deadline, no matter what happens. Data centres are sold in advance, and they must be usable when promised."
"It's also not enough for everything to work flawlessly in a data centre. Everything also needs to look finished, right down to the smallest details, because new customers are brought to the data centre to be shown that everything is well taken care of. In addition, the cleanliness requirements are at about the same level as those used for hospitals."
Motivated by a thirst for knowledge
Antti Laine holds an M.Sc. (Tech) in technical chemistry. He is also a trained industrial engineering manager in the construction industry and a qualified pharmacist. In autumn 2020, he began to study for a doctorate in information technology at ÅboAkademi University alongside his work. His doctorate studies focus on data centres.
"I've always been interested in developing my skills and increasing my knowledge. It's in my nature to constantly read everything I come across. I think that will continue for as long as I draw breath," says Laine.
Laine's educational background contains plenty besides construction and engineering. He says that it has been valuable in his work.
"Some methods and techniques can be applied in industries other than the ones they originated in. Personally I've found my varied educational background to be incredibly useful," he adds.
Laine wants to emphasise the importance of language skills to anyone aiming at a career in the construction industry. Language skills open up international opportunities, but can also prove invaluable in projects carried out in Finland, too, as Laine's own experience shows.
"You need fluent English as it's the main working language in data centres and many other projects involving international companies. In addition, it's well worth learning at least one, but preferably two more other major languages as well."
For Laine, language skills opened the door to the wonderful world of data centres. Since his studies, they have provided him with work experience worldwide.
"I've worked in the USA, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, France, Germany, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Some trips were just very short site visits, while others were longer stays, but all of them taught me valuable lessons."
"They taught me an open-minded attitude to how things can be done. You can't go out into the world thinking that things must be done as they are back home; instead, you need to adapt to the environment and learn from it. The stranger and more different the environment, the more it can teach you," says Laine.
Fimpec's down-to-earth style of work is attractive
Antti Laine's career started off with 10 years of chemical industry research. Since then, data centres have taken him to various employers, including Google. Laine joined, or rather returned, to Fimpec – then CTS Engtec – in early 2020 as a project manager responsible for data centre tasks.
"I previously worked at CTS Engtec for a while. It made the decision to take on my current position much easier, as I knew that I would be working with friendly, fair, and committed people. A good, fair atmosphere is important in the workplace, and I appreciate that work here is very down-to-earth. One more thing I'd like to point out is that this is a workplace where supervisors are easily approachable; there are no ivory towers."
Laine also appreciates that the company has made responsibility one of its core values. He says that promoting sustainable development is something he holds close to his heart.
"It's a broad issue, and it's important to try to improve responsibility overall. There are good opportunities to have your say on responsibility in the preparation and engineering phases of projects."
Laine works in the Kotka office. The establishment of the Kotka office in early 2020 was another motivating factor for Laine to change jobs.
"I live in Kotka and previously worked in Helsinki. Working in Kotka has shortened my commute significantly, so now I have more time to spend with my four-and-a-half-year-old child. The essential thing is of course that data centres are an important part of our business, so I was offered interesting work."
"We Finns are currently living in interesting times with regard to data centre business. The lowering of excise duty on electricity promised by the government could encourage a wave of investment totalling billions of euros, much like the one seen in Sweden," adds Laine

Szafnauer banking on better reliability to move Alpine forward

Otmar Szafnauer believes Alpine will make a clear step forward in 2023 if it fixes its power unit reliability issues, even if its outright car performance stays at a similar level compared to its rivals.
Alpine finished fourth in the constructors' championship ahead of McLaren, winning that particular battle by 14 points but finishing over 340 adrift of Mercedes in third place. Team principal Szafnauer believes the primary focus during the off-season has to be improvements when it comes to the reliability of the power unit, given the eight retirements suffered through the year.
More Formula 1!
"I think fourth is probably where we deserve to be," Szafnauer said. "We should have had a few more points than we do, we had some reliability issues so not really on performance, and I look forward to fixing those next year because they're allowed to be fixed from a powertrain perspective. You can make those changes.
"We should have a more reliable powertrain next year even though some of the issues we had weren't really with the powertrain, they were with the ancillary bits. We have to redesign those and fix them."
While Szafnauer says Alpine needs to prioritize its power unit amid the restrictions of the regulations, he also wants to ensure Pierre Gasly's arrival in place of Fernando Alonso will allow the team to continue scoring regularly with both cars after the team clearly outperformed McLaren on that front this year.
"I think if we can do that with the powertrain being frozen – and I have every confidence that we will – then I think we'll naturally score more points," he said. "Had we been reliable all year, you probably heard Fernando say 'I'd be 60 points down the road' or whatever it is. I don't know how many it is but it's definitely a significant amount, double digits, so instead of (14) points ahead we could be 70 ahead, something like that.
"So if we just do that and the performance level stays relatively the same we should be further up the road. But we also want to take a step in performance, and it's harder to do on the powertrain because it's frozen, so you have to do it by understanding the chassis, doing a better job on chassis engineering, having two drivers that can continually score. So that's our focus."

Celebrity Noses in the Spotlight
Some stars say they needed new noses for medical reasons, but is that true?
By BLAIR SODEN
Dec. 10, 2007 — -- When it comes to noses in Hollywood, more and more people are wondering "did she or didn't she?"
We've heard the line time and time again, celebrities caught in a before-and-after photo clearly showing two very different noses. "I had a deviated septum," Ashley Tisdale, star of "High School Musical," recently confessed.
With that, Tisdale joined an elite group of Hollywood A-listers who have admitted to having a nose job to fix a deviated septum, but are their claims justified or is a deviated septum just a convenient excuse for a new nose?
Deviated What?
As much as Americans are obsessed with their celebrities, so are they equally intent on pointing out even their most minor imperfections. Celebrities live in front of the camera, so when they decide to go under the knife, even the most subtle changes are instantly recognizable.
Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston and Ashley Simpson have all made headlines in the last year for stepping out with slightly altered noses. And like Tisdale, all three women say their new noses were a medical necessity, not a vanity.
Raj Kanodia, the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who performed all of their surgeries, says a deviated septum is one of the most common problems he sees in his office.
"I would say in my practice as high as 95 percent of the people I see have a deviated septum, so chances are when someone says they have a deviated septum, they do," said Kanodia. "Most septums and noses are broken when you're a toddler because the upper bone is not developed yet so when a child is learning to walk or crawl and they fall on their face, they traumatize their nose."
The septum, a thin wall inside of the nose that divides the left and right nasal cavities, is deviated when a trauma causes the septum to block one side of the nose and reduces airflow, causing difficulty breathing. A surgery called septoplasty is the best way to remedy a severely deviated septum.
But Kanodia says the procedure to repair the septum takes place almost entirely internally, differing from the more common nose surgery known as rhinoplasty.
"Septoplasty means it's a functional operation, you're straightening the septum. And rhinoplasty means you're doing cosmetic improvement on the nose," said Kanodia. "I do a septorhinoplasty [a combination of the two procedures] on pretty much every patient."
Stretching the Truth
Though a deviated septum can be a serious problem, signs of the problem are often difficult to detect from the outside. By definition a septoplasty should not change the exterior appearance of the nose, so when a celebrity says he or she had surgery to repair a deviated septum, they may be leaving out a few details.
Seth Faison, deputy director of Sitrick and Company, a public relations firm in New York City specializing in strategic communications, says clouding over the truth may not be the best strategy, but for those under a public microscope, it may be necessary.
"I always advise clients to tell the truth," said Faison. "But when it comes to plastic surgery, the less said the better."
If publicists are advising their celebrity clients not to fully disclose the truth, it may explain the recent revelations of surgery to repair a deviated septum.
"I didn't do this because I believe in plastic surgery," Tisdale told People Magazine. "I did this to help my health. I literally could not breathe out of the right side of my nose."
A Cosmetic Side Effect
While cosmetic enhancement is not required to repair a deviated septum, most patients have trouble saying no to fixing that bump or tweaking that slope if they're already going through the complicated procedure. Most times, altering the outside appearance of the nose is not a necessary part of a septoplasty.
But if celebrities opt to have the more complicated septorhinoplasty procedure, why not admit to having a few imperfections cleared up then?
"Plastic surgery is kind of like the act of procreation," said Faison. "It's private even if it's there for everyone to see and I think it's better if it's kept private."
Kanodia said the pressures of Hollywood and the new technology of HDTV that highlights any imperfection can get to a celebrity. Yet he disagrees with the secrecy of shrouding surgery in the disguise of the deviated septum line.
"I think celebrities should be a little more forthright in saying I had a deviated septum fixed but I also had it straightened a little bit," said Kanodia. "If they were more forthright people wouldn't have this stigma about it."
Hollywood may be bringing the stigma upon itself because there's always speculation surrounding secrecy. Just this week actress Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit against US Weekly magazine for accusing the actress of having a nose job.
"Scarlett has always been straightforward with the press regarding her body image, and she's very concerned that her fans will feel misled," Johansson's publicist told OK! Magazine.
Whether a celebrity did or didn't have his or her nose fixed, the decision to go public is ultimately his or hers.
"Rumors and accusations frequently need to be addressed," said Faison. "But they can be addressed by telling the truth while keeping some things private."
Yet until plastic surgery is no longer considered taboo, the rumors, and lawsuits, will ultimately prevail over full disclosure.

The first time I actually used Coconut Milk to make Biryani was when I made Egg Biryani with Coconut Milk. When I tasted that dish I was in heaven and later adapted that recipe to make this Coconut Milk Biryani.
The best part about this dish is that it takes just about 30 minutes to make and needs very few ingredients. Also, you do not need much by way of accompaniment. I eat Coconut Milk Biryani by itself or then with some papad.
Do also try my recipes for Soya Chunks Biryani, Hyderabadi Qabooli, Dindigul Thalapakatti Biryani, Masoor Dal Biryani, and Masoor Dal and Boiled Egg Biryani.
Coconut Milk Biryani is an easy-to-make recipe that is creamy in texture and very light on spices. It gets done in about 30 minutes, which is a bonus on those days when one is very tired or then has to make multiple dishes.
Soak in water for 10 minutes.
Grind the coriander, ginger and green chillies to a fine paste.
In a pressure cooker or a heavy bottomed vessel, heat the oil.
Add the cloves, cinnamon, fennel, and bay leaf.
Add the french beans, potato and carrot.
Stir-fry for a minute minutes.
Add the drained basmati rice and ground masala.
Add the coconut milk and 1.25 cups water.
Serve with Papad and Raita.
Anything with coconut milk and I am always in! Just look at that droolworthy biriyani… absolutely delish!
My absolute favorite. Anything with coconut I am all in the game.

It is being built to include about 18 departments and have about 500 beds and is expected to be completed by June.
CM inspects construction work of King institute hospitalTwitter/@Subramanian_ma
CHENNAI: Chief Minister M K Stalin inspected the ongoing construction of the King Institute premises which is being developed as a multi super speciality hospital at a cost of Rs. 230 crores. It is being built to include about 18 departments and have about 500 beds and is expected to be completed by June.
The Chief Minister had already inspected the hospital construction last year after the announcement was made to build a multi-superspeciality hospital. Health Minister Ma Subramanian said on Sunday that the tender for the construction of the hospital is not due until September, but the work is likely to be completed by June itself. The Chief Minister had laid the foundation of the building last year.
He said that the second inspection was focused on checking the completion of the completed works, facilities for people with disabilities, places to stay for sanitation workers, and making the hospital a green space. He said that the works are being completed at a fast pace, and the hospital will be opened for public use most likely by June.
The health minister also mentioned that the construction of storm water drains in a timely manner helped to prevent floods in the city even before the Northeast Monsoon set in, and in a similar approach, the construction of storm water canals is also being done. He said that the damaged roads are also being repaired by the Greater Chennai Corporation.
Chief Secretary Irai Anbu, Chennai Mayor Priya Rajan, and many other government officials were also present at the inspection.

Some people in the industry say that the phrase luxury home is a cliche. People who want to build a new home, addition, extension, or a renovation use it to describe their future home. There's nothing wrong with that. As designers ourselves, we understand that you like to have opulent elements inside your home.
But, if you are truly planning to design and build a luxury home, it is important that you know all the features and aspects that make one. That way, you won't fall into the definition and you won't pay more for something that's not categorised as one.
Don't get us wrong. There is no checklist that determines a luxury home from the others. 😊 However, there are features and aspects that the homeowner, designer, and builders must ensure to make sure that the entire property is designed and built to be a luxury home.
If you're planning to build your own luxury home, build inside a mid-to-high socioeconomic residential area. (Places like Clear Island Waters, The Harbour City, and Darling Point). Location is the number one aspect that you must secure. It's not just about the house. It's also about the neighbourhood and the luxury setting.
A luxury home makes a person feel spoiled and showered with extravagance. Think of a large hotel-like infinity pool, private sauna, fully-furnished home gym, large wine cellar, or your own basketball/tennis court.
These homes are huge. Think of wide entrance ways or foyer. Picture massive open floor plans and spacious bedrooms. Imagine structural staircase designs. That's what's inside luxury homes.
These homes are most likely technology-driven. Expect it to be equipped with smart locks and security, smart climate control, and smart kitchen appliances. Home automation is a thing of the future, so expect the most expensive homes to have this feature.
Think of ultra-modern kitchen with unique designs, enormous countertops, latest appliances, modern finishes, and fittings. Imagine walk-in pantries which hold a year supply of food.
We love our outdoor spaces, that's why the alfresco living areas of luxury homes usually look like the Garden of Eden. Think of elaborative outdoor living areas connected to an alfresco dining and outdoor kitchen. All of that next to an expansive pool.
The funny thing is, some luxury homes are cheaper to run compared to other houses. These homes are designed by architects who practice sustainable, passive building. Getting an energy-efficient and eco-friendly design is an investment.
Not all rooms inside a gigantic house is a bedroom. Some of them are solely for entertainment. Think of game rooms where you play pool or sports bar where you drink bourbon while watching football. Imagine your own personal home theatre. Some homes even have a room for the homeowner's private collection too.
Apart from the entertainment rooms, there are relaxing rooms. Picture a dreamy bathroom with head-to-toe shower jets, heated flooring, towel warmers, and huge soaker Jacuzzi tubs. It's like your own private spa.
Look for a Sydney Architect.


Above: Sophie Birch (Core Research Nurse), Helen Bickerdike (Research Nurse), Lisa Carr (Rheumatology Clinical Trials Assistant) and Anne Gill (Research Nurse).
We are involved in a number of local, regional, national and international research studies.
You may be asked whether you would like to participate in one or more of these studies.
The York Rheumatology department has an expanding research portfolio. The research allows doctors and patients to gain access to and experience new cutting edge treatments. The research undertaken contributes to the development of our understanding of rheumatology conditions and the optimal management of our patients.
Our portfolio includes different types of studies at different stages of the research, varying from Observational studies to Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal products. Almost all of the research we do involves licensed and approved treatments for arthritis, but looks at using them differently or sometimes earlier looking to improve outcomes for patients. We are starting to get involved in studies using treatments not yet licensed in the UK. We hope this will allow patients in York to gain from exciting research developments in the world of rheumatology.
A new treatment may be effective in treating the condition improving day to day life.
May gain earlier access to treatment than those being treated routinely.
Participation in a Clinical Trial may bring benefit to others in the future.
A feel good factor that taking part in research may help find a cure for the disease.
May meet others suffering from the same disease whilst taking part in research. Talking with other patients experiencing similar health problems can be beneficial.

For a pasty girl of Danish & German decent, I crave Mediterranean food as though it is in my blood. Sometimes I get my fix at dinner, but most often it is at lunch time that I go out and track down what I'm jonesin' for. For working where I do there are a couple of places that I commonly go for my fix – Firdous Express (Short North), Mad Greek (Whitehall) or the Pita House (Bexley). Of these places you are most likely to find me in Pita House. The price is right, the service is great and the food is delicious.
Now I have been here A LOT and when I say A LOT, I mean A LOT. The guys behind the counter are always very gracious & helpful; and always laugh whenever I order my usual Chicken Shawarma Platter. The platter comes with hummus, pita, chicken shawarma and your choice of two additional sides – and my usual consists of Jerusalem 'salad' and the cauliflower 'salad' sides. There are many things on the menu that I have tried and all of which are tasty to me, but this is my favorite and I like to tell myself that it is healthy since it's chicken and not red meat… What? There is SOME truth to that! Anyhow, I have tried and would recommend any of the following, but not limited to: Baba Ghanouj, Hummus, Jerusalem Salad, Eggplant, Coleslaw, Falafel, Gyros, Chicken Shawarma, Turkey Shawarma, Chicken Kabab, and/or the Lamb Kabab.
On this particular day I ordered the usual along with an order of falafel. (What? It may be fried, but it's made of chickpeas & fava beans so it must be healthy too! 🙂 ) Let's start with the falafel. It's wonderfully crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle; and when dipped in the yogurt sauce that they give you they taste a little creamier, but without losing it's lightness. Definitely in my top 3, only being surpassed by the Happy Greek (2nd) and My Big Fat Greek Kuzina (1st). So if you are on the hunt for a good falafel and not in the Short North or Upper Arlington, then I definitely recommend you stop by this place.
Then there is the chicken shawarma platter…ohhhh the chicken shawarma! Where to start? The chicken is perfectly seasoned, thin cuts of grilled chicken. I could, if necessary, just eat a helping of this without anything else – it's just that good. The Pita House also makes an incredibly delicious garlic paste that I slather on when scooping up the chicken in the pita, the paste was mentioned in a previous post of mine on the Taverna (LINK). The hummus here is top-notch, deliciously rich & a smooth texture; and it is always topped with a couple garbanzo beans & fresh parsley. Then there is the Jerusalem salad, which I do not know exactly how they make this so damn good, but it is. Simple ingredients of cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion make up this dish. The cauliflower side is another non-complex salad that mixes well together and pairs well with the other items on the platter. It consists of cauliflower, peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms and a touch of olive oil.
This is a great meal for any lunch or dinner, as is everything on the Pita House's menu. So stop on by Bexley to give it a try. I give this spot TWO THUMBS UP!

Explorer's Club: A Brunch Adventure WELL Worth the Trip!
I have always been a big fan of breakfast. In fact, I think it's a family thing, as I can remember my mom making a BIG breakfast for dinner some nights. My love for it only grew once I became of legal drinking age – mimosas, bellinis, bloody marys, spiked coffee…YUM!
Anyhow, as much as I love to daydream of fruity alcohol concoctions sometimes…back to the food! When it comes to breakfast it is the Explorer's Club that I have CRAVED over the past couple of months, and more specifically it is their Cuban french toast w/fresh fruit that I really cannot stop thinking about (you know it must be love then). It's a dish of these amazingly sweet and a little, crunchy french toast cubes, dusted with powered sugar and topped off with fresh fruit – pineapple, banana, strawberries and melon. This is the best way to spend a late morning on a weekend. Especially when you order a side of their bacon, a coffee, a water and any drink with some alcohol in it. Add in someone to spend the morning with for a good hour and a half or more to slowly drink, talk and eat your way to enjoyment. I'm not going to lie, these tasty, little bits kind of remind me of Burger King's french toast sticks that I couldn't get enough of as a kid. Now, for those of you who just read what I typed and are turned off – DON'T BE!!
You will not regret this or any other breakfast item you select here at Explorer's Club. They really specialize in good Latin flavors with their dishes and while you can pick the fiery burritos or chilequiles dishes…I'd also recommend this special they have: eggs in verde sauce & mozzarella. Jason ordered this amazing dish, it comes with toast and breakfast potatoes, with some of their house made hot sauce (fire breathing hot) and one of their BIG Cinnamon Rolls (SOOO good, even the next morning with all of the sweet icing and a little spice with all that cinnamon) and he LOVED every bite of his breakfast too.
But maybe brunch isn't your thing, then Explorer's Club is still your place. Their dinner is an experience too with amazing Latin flavors and even plenty for the vegetarians or vegans in your group (a.k.a. DORSEY). We started out with drinks and I tried one of their Strawberry Love Margaritas, which was refreshing and addicting! We opted to start with an appetizer even though we knew it may not have left us any room for dessert after our dinners… But who could resist nachos with black beans, jack cheese and their own chiptole sauce. (The perfect amount of spicy. They use this in a lot of their brunch, lunch and dinner meals and after one bite you'll know why!) From there I got their Half Roasted Chicken with brown rice, jalapeno slaw and a side of plantains. As you'll notice from the picture below, as soon as it landed on the table I had to try the chicken and didn't make it to a photo first. The skin on the chicken is perfectly crispy and the meat inside is tender and juicy. Everything about this dish and trip to the Explorer's Club was divine.

Harvest Pizzeria: The Way Pizza Should Be!
The interior consists of a lot of neutral colors, natural lighting from windows, and a lot of wood – all things I am a big fan of! There isn't a ton of seating, so get there fast, but business wise it was a smart decision on their part to start small & build up a clientele before expanding to a large place. Anyhow, the ingredients are fresh and a wide variety of Ohio grown products to choose from. The pizza creations are baked in a wood-burning oven in the small kitchen – which you can see right into and watch them go to town on the dough. I could go on and on about wood-burning ovens, but I'll digress…I just wish I had one of my own at home!
Like Yellow Brick, the menu has a few specialty pizzas for you to pick from or they also allow you to create your own. On this day Jason & I split a pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella & provolone mix of cheese, jalapenos and mushroom pizza. DE-LI-CIOUS! If you aren't starving when you get there, you will be as you sit down and smell the pizzas cooking. Now we did not get any appetizers while we were there but from the choices they have on the menu and the smiles on people's faces sitting around us, as they ate them – it would be well WORTH IT to try them next time.
With that said, it was a strategic plan to not order apps so as to save room for dessert. And eat dessert we did. They have the BEST BLUEBERRY PIE I have EVER had (and for those of you who know me, you know just how much I LOVE ALL things BLUEBERRY!) and with ice cream on the side…it was the perfect end to a perfect meal. Seriously though, you should try the pie. Apparently, the owner's mother makes them all herself. TWO THUMBS UP to yet another fantastic German Village restaurant!!

Lately, I feel as though I have really picked up my love for pizza again and ran with it. Luckily, it keeps me coming back to Yellow Brick – along with my new friend Abbey! 🙂 I really feel that it could be her true love for the food that has triggered me back into seeking good pizza in Columbus. THANK YOU ABBEY for bringing me back to pizza AND for showing me the light via. Yellow Brick.
First, I love that Yellow Brick is located in Olde Towne East, it's so close to work that I could walk here and such a treasure to top it off. You walk inside the place and you're glad that someone knows how to properly utilize all of their window fronts. It also has gorgeous exposed brick, a bar that extends the length of the restaurant and plenty of seating. Next you will be delighted, if you are like me, at the first menu they hand you – pages & pages, upon pages of craft beers from around the U.S. on draft or bottled. However, if you are like Abbey and love a good Coke from Mexico, you'll be set here too.
The menu allows you to select one of their artisan pizza favorites or get creative and design your own. I like using classic ingredients to design my own. So I ordered a small cheese pizza with their Rhode Island sauce (a classic tomato pizza sauce with tasty olive oil drizzled in – can't go wrong here with this sauce), pepperoni, green olives and then topped with shaved Parmesan cheese. Now Abbey loves feta cheese on her pizza from Yellow Brick, so she gets the small cheese pizza, the Rhode Island sauce (her favorite, which I copied off of) and then topped off with feta.
Everything is so good that before you are even aware you have hoovered down half of your piping hot pizza. I've only been twice, in March, but I'm sure that I will be one of their regulars in no time! This definitely gets TWO THUMBS UP!!

All the techniques are right, the plated food looks fabulous, but when it comes to taste it doesn't blow your mind or seem very original either. To be fair, it is hotel food @ it's BEST!
The experience wasn't too great from the moment we told them we had reservations. Being the conscientious diners that we are, Jason booked us reservations at Sidebar 122 through Open Table (a service we use often) and did have a special request for a window seat – we are both fans of people watching and natural lighting. This apparently annoyed the host, who told us when we got there that he felt that this was like paint telling Picasso what color it is and where to put it on his painting…dramatic to say the least!
So after the very warm welcoming, the nice hostess took us to our table, by a window. Our waitress seemed a little scattered but was dear and very helpful to us as new diners at the restaurant. To start, they bring everyone a delicious serving of hummus and fried pita (and you all know by now how much I love hummus). This was by far the best thing that I ate here and it was damn good.
Next we ordered cocktails – me a Jack & Ginger and Jason got a Negroni. He thought his was a bit strong, but wasn't complaining. I thought my drink was a little watered down (possibly because our waitress apparently forgot to come back to ask me if I wanted ginger ale or their ginger syrup, which they didn't recommend, in my drink – so who knows how long those ice cubes sat in that whiskey) and the ale had no fizz to it.
For dinner, I ordered the Roasted Beet & Blue Cheese Salad and the Grilled Beef Tenderloin Skewers (although there is only 1); and Jason got the House Salad and the Pork Filet Mignon. He found his salad to be good and better than expected when he wasn't sure what a pecan dressing would taste like. I thought the beets were delightful in the salad, but the salad didn't need to be so bathed in heavy Blue Cheese dressing…even though I do LOVE blue cheese. Jason's Pork Filet Mignon, which was served with mixed veggies, purple cabbage and mashed potatoes, he found to be good but not amazing…however, good enough to eat all of it before offering me a taste… The Grilled Beef Tenderloin was served with a Parmesan risotto and mixed veggies. I actually really liked the skewered meat – very tender and the melted blue cheese on it was tasty. As for the sides, I could live without.
At the end of the meal we decided to skip dessert here and high-tail it over to Jeni's for some real original flavor. (Man, I'm glad that the German Village location opened back up last Friday!) Is the food bad at Sidebar 122? No. But is it original, competitive or even well representative of the cuisine that C-BUS has to offer? The answer to that question is NO as well. I will say, however, that I do plan on going back sometime just to sit and drink at the bar…word on the street is that they give you BACON instead of peanuts to snack on! Just like at a hotel that I am staying at when traveling – I'd rather grab some drinks there than eat there, any day of the week.

Easton is no Eden, but I do LOVE Cafe Istanbul!
One of the GREAT things about starting this food blog is that it offers me a wonderful excuse to revisit all of my favorite places. Why not go to the places I love & eat all of my favorite meals, snacks and/or desserts that have brought my taste buds and tummy such joy?!? A recent trip took me back to Cafe Istanbul in the Easton shopping complex in Columbus & it is, believed by me, to be the best restaurant in there.
After all the chaos of trying to even get to Easton, yet alone park, it is always a delight to just step into this restaurant it's like stepping into another world & always brings me such elation. You'll find areas that almost act like little seating cubbies vs. separate rooms, off to the sides of the main seating area. The tables look bistro style, they have the most spectacular chandelier hanging in the main hall, and fantastic Turkish decor displayed throughout. But while I love the atmosphere @ Cafe Istanbul, it's the staff and especially the food that keeps me coming back for more.
The moment that you sit down you will be served the most amazing Turkish bread, called pide, and a dipping sauce, is kind of like tomato & spice mixed with oil, that will knock your socks off (not because it's spicy, it's actually kind of sweet & savory at the same time…but the taste is phenomenal). Once this hits the table I find it hard to stop eating it until it's ALL gone and if even one other person is with me for a meal here, then we will certainly need second helpings of both. With that said, the pide also disappears quickly because I always order hummus here and enjoy soaking it up with the bread.
Traditionally, I always get the chicken kebab for my entrée, but on this day I decided to mix it up a little and try the Kebab Combination. With the kebab combo you get to pick two kebabs from the menu and get a half portion of each, so I chose the chicken and dÖner kebabs. The dÖner is like gyro meat, hand-carved marinated lamb and beef that is grilled on a large, vertical rotisserie. The chicken was good, as it always is – NEVER over-cooked, just juicy and delicious. Now the dÖner was even more AMAZING. The marinade they used was incredible and every bite of this meat combo was more flavorful than the last. I will never pass up the chance for more dÖner at Cafe Istanbul again. The kebabs also come with rice and grilled veggies; and there is enough food for two people (if you are interested in sharing or taking some home for another meal).
I will definitely be coming back to Cafe Istanbul many more times – I promise you that you will not regret doing the same thing. I give Cafe Istanbul TWO thumbs up!

The expression is 'cook with love', not 'bake with anger'… The Angry Baker misses the mark!
I believe the expression is to 'cook with love', but there is nothing about baking with anger and I can only think that this is why…the results are NOT good. This is a new kind of post for me, a post of disapproval.
My father instilled in me a loyalty to small business or mom & pop spots and I have carried that with me as I moved out on my own. I think I pay a lot of attention to where I'm purchasing from, what I'm purchasing and making sure that I'm not supporting places that do not share my values. (It's why you'll never hear me saying I wish I could shop at Walmart or that I miss shopping at Whole Foods, Target or Best Buy- cheaper doesn't mean better and there is always a cost to another for that couple bucks you are saving.) I try not to eat at large chain restaurants (I did say try, NOT that I NEVER do…) and I really love the work that Ohio Proud (www.ohioproud.org) is doing so that I can support Ohioans like myself and small businesses as much as possible. So it is with a heavy heart that I blog about one such place that just does not seem to have it together and whose staff do not seem to care.
But that's neither here nor there on a food blog, the food is the actual important part. The sandwich did have delicious tomatoes on it and the bread was fantastic as well, but from there it all went downhill… Sadly, the bread slices were thicker than the whole rest of the sandwich, there was barely any turkey or cheese but there was a good inch of whole grain mustard on it (enough for a good 10 sandwiches at least & nearly impossible to scrape enough off- and I really like mustard too).
For eight dollars I expect a little more. Especially when you have Black Creek Bistro down the street or such sandwich options in the city as Brown Bag or Danny's Deli… So today I give my first two thumbs down, but with the hope to one day write that I was wrong and that there is a reason to stop by and patronage the Angry Baker.

I am sorry fans and friends I shunned you out. Please find another girl for Barry. It was my fault not his. Please find him a girlfriend. I screwed up big time.But one day tell me how to make it up to him and i will i just could not handle peer pressure, life, media and paparazzi media and lime light and popularity. If you want me to still go out with me print things that I got to do to get him back. Your friend always, Tc.
Is Melissa Manchester, the same Melissa, that Barry mentions in "Could It Be Magic"? "Sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime, answer to all answers I can find..."
So if Barry was born in 1943 and Melissa was born in 1951 and they dated from 1953-1958, then he was 10 and she was 2???? Riiiiigt. Can you please fix this error? And Barry is HOT.
Would Barry consider performing a Charity Concert for Cystic Fibrosis here in Palm Springs,Ca. I know he has in the past. My granddaughter has CF. I have ideas: location, reception, etc.

The iPhone might get a fresh new coat of paint very soon.
Per a report from Japanese publication Mac Otakara (via MacRumors), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is planning to offer customers another color option for potential iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus buyers: jet white. Presumably, this would be a white phone with the same glossy finish as the jet black iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models (along with a white face, similar to those found on the silver, gold, and rose gold models).
Mac Otakara doesn't seem that confident in this report, though, as it cautioned that "this information may be unreliable."
Let's take a closer look at whether or not this rumor makes sense.
There is a reason that smartphone makers care about building attractive-looking devices: People are likely much more willing -- whether they're aware of it or not -- to buy a device that looks sleek and appealing than they are to buy a device that looks ho-hum.
Given how popular the iPhone models in jet black seem to be (KGI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo said that 30% to 35% of iPhone pre-orders worldwide, and almost 50% of iPhone pre-orders in China, were for jet black models), it's clear that customers are attracted to that finish.
If customers like the jet black finish, then it's reasonable to assume that there might be customers who would like glossy iPhone models in other colors -- like white. Such a device could certainly be attractive to customers who would have otherwise gone with, say, an iPhone in silver.
Per Kuo, manufacturing yields on the glossy finish used on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models in Jet Black initially weren't great, coming in between 60% and 70%.
That relatively low yield rate may have been one reason Apple didn't apply the glossy finish to additional iPhone models. However, as Apple and its manufacturing partners have gotten better at building phones with this finish, yield rates have likely improved.
If manufacturing yields have improved on Apple's process to produce the glossy finish, and since demand for iPhone models in jet black appears to be strong, then a mid-cycle jet white iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus release would make sense. Here are a few reasons why.
First, Apple is likely to limit the jet white finish to more expensive 128 gigabyte and 256 gigabyte configurations just as it does with the jet black models in order to encourage up-selling.
For example, a potential customer who might have otherwise gone with a 32 gigabyte iPhone 7 Plus in silver might instead opt to go with an iPhone 7 Plus in a 128 gigabyte configuration in order to get the new jet white finish.
This could help to further bolster Apple's iPhone average selling prices (and thus revenue and profits).
Second, an attractive new finish may simply help to boost demand. There might be users of older-generation iPhone models who are on the fence about upgrading to new models. An attractive jet white model could be what pushes some of those customers over the edge.
The potential impact from a mid-cycle jet white iPhone release likely wouldn't be a game changer for Apple, but it could be a low-risk/high-reward way for the company to try to both juice iPhone average selling prices and boost demand for iPhones during the current fiscal year.
