Right as the season is ending, I have given everyone the chance to ask me anything Real Madrid related, especially surrounding this season we're playing…
Of course, tons of Jose Mourinho and "fichajes" questions but there are also some silly ones that I look forward to answering… if you don't see your name there that means that someone else asked the same question or one similar to it!
Let's see what the people asked! Next to the Q I have written the Twitter name of the person who asked the question. Also, please keep in mind the answers to the questions are my opinion and nothing more than my opinion.
Q: Meesey_M – Do you think this season could have been saved if Iker's injury never happened?
A: Iker's injury came at an unfortunate time for him. We were about to start playing the key games of the season and he had to leave. These key games however were mastered by Diego Lopez who did an spectacular job earning the title of Man of the Match in more than one. Against Manchester United, for instance, he was the difference maker and also against Dortmund in the second leg of semifinals. Could Iker have done better? I don't know. He is the saint that saves you when you think you're dead but Diego did that too, he saved the impossible. I don't think the goalkeeping led to Real Madrid's failure.
Q: OfficialLaxmi – In your opinion, what ultimately led to Real Madrid's downfall this season?
A: While many would say lack of unity, I think anything that happened outside was left off the pitch as soon as the whistle blew. It's hard to say. Unlike last year, every shot on goal we had did not end in the back of the net. We had key injuries however others emerged and did an amazing job. Iker, Marcelo and Pepe lost their spot on the pitch to Diego, Fabio and Varane but they did not disappoint. Even Di Maria and Luka are in a fight for that spot in the XI. Going back to the lack of goals though, if you compare this years numbers to last years you will see what I mean. Benzema has scored 15 in Liga and Champions in 39 appearances while Higuain has scored 15 goals in both competitions in 35 appearances. Last year Benzema scored 29 and Higuain 25. That is 54 goals last season scored between the two against 30 this season. A whole 24 goal difference!
Q: Admah_Iebdeh – Does Mou need to leave? Yes, no, why?
A: No. Because he is the best coach in the world and the best team in the world deserves nothing less. Because we are in the right path. Because we are back to being winners. Because if there are personal differences then they need to be solved face to face. Because we are dealing with professional footballers and not 15 year old high school girls fighting over who cheated on who or who back-stabbed who. Because for the greater good of the institution, those men, are the most suitable to bring home La Decima and La Undecima and the ones to come.
Q: VamoSteph – Why can't Portuguese pronounce the later H – as in Hope – Ope?
A: I don't know. It may have to do with the fact that Cristiano says shat instead of chat. Maybe their eyes are not designed to see certain words. Maybe the H represents the Spanish media and they would rather not see it, so they ignore it instead.
Q: No1_Fan_of_CR7 – Who should we sign in the summer?
A: Feelings aside we need a striker. By this please do not misinterpret my words. I am not saying Pipita and Benzema are not good enough, I AM saying they are too irregular. I am a big fan of Aguero, people like Cavani and Bale. I also like those two as they have shown their desire to play for the team and there is nothing better than those who want to represent you. All three of them are great and young. It would be nice to see Carvajal back also and it is said that we need a midfielder to take over Xabi's position once he leaves in a few years or so, I think the man for the job is Esteban Granero.
Q: 007Madridista – Should Pipita leave, yes or no?
A: Ugh. I love Pipita and he feels the crest but I think the answer is yes. Again, this does not mean I am not thankful for the three leagues he has helped us won. He won the love of everyone from day 1. He is a magnificent striker but I think he needs a change of air. He has become a bit lazy falling into the offside trap one too many times and the laziness is probably related to lack of motivation. He still works his ass off though but I think it would be better for him and for the team if he succeeded elsewhere. After the match against Dortmund, he was the only player who left the pitch whistled at. The fans speak.
Q: AnumHearts_RM – Has this been the worst season for Real Madrid?
A: My answer is lol. Unless you have been following Real Madrid since Mourinho first joined then the answer would be yes, otherwise you don't need to look back more than 4-5 years to realize that the answer is a definite no.
Q: CR7sBiggestFan – Where will Cristiano & Mourinho be next season?
A: Luckily that question will soon be answered. Both still have a contract with Real Madrid. Today, CR's agent said it is a possibility for him to go to PSG. Like Sergio said, not everyone has a billion euros to buy his clause… well, PSG does. Aside from the money they need Cristiano's willingness to leave. Personally, I don't think he wants to leave. Mourinho is a wild card. I hope he stays, I think he wants to stay and it is up to Florentino. His contract was recently extended to 2016 so we will see.
Q: XavierGooner14 – How do you think Alvaro Morata fared in the 15 appearances he's made this season?
A: He started off shy but soon became comfortable and we could see him enjoying himself on the pitch, playing under less pressure. Let's look at his numbers: 2 goals in Liga in 12 appearances, UCL 1 appearance, 0 goals, Copa del Rey: 2 apparances, 0 goals. This is his third season with the Real Madrid senior team as per the official RM website with a total of 15 app and 2 goals. I don't think you can ask much more. He is 20 years old and definitely has talent. In his first season at age 17, Raul registered 9 goals in 28 appearances in Liga and a total of 10 in 30 in that season. Morata has talent, enough to stay? I think that is up to the coach. Morata has claimed that he would rather play for Castilla than leave the institution and Mourinho constantly praises him. If Mourinho stays, I think Morata will see more and more game time. I am a fan of his but I do not think he is the best striker in the Real Madrid cantera.
Q: NouranHegazy – What are your ratings of the players?
GKs: Iker: Not his best season and consequently he was benched. He was not awful, he just did not do the miracles we were used to. Adán: He never transmitted safety to the fans but it was good to see him get THE opportunity he had been waiting for his whole time – unfortunately, he did not meet expectations. Diego: Great. As simple as that.
Defenders: Marcelo: Started off great, his injury ticked him off balance and he lost his spot. Fábio: The opposite of Marcelo, started off weak, has ended stronger than ever. Arbeloa: A bit of a wildcard. He can win you a match or lose you one. Sergio: The best in the back throughout the season although he had a month or so of downs however this wouldn't affect my overall rating of his season. Varane: a star was born. Pepe: Started off great, got injured, lost his spot, lost his concentration, lost his peace. Carvalho: n/a. Albiol: he has been huge lately, good to see. Essien: I am a big fan of his in the wing, he played all the important games. Nacho: Finally a coach that gives the 23 year old a chance. He definitely met expectations.
Midfield: Khedira: he failed to perform in the big matches. Great during the rest. Xabi: One of the untouchable ones for a reason. Luka: Called the worst signing of La Liga, he shut the critics' mouth in style. Di Maria: Very irregular. One game he will make the top 3 of everyone's lists of best players in the world, the next game he would be a flop. The quality is there. Ozil: There isn't much to say about nemo. He is fantastic. Kaka: Far from the Ballon D'Or Kaka that made the world fall in love with him. He did not lack opportunities.
Strikers: Cristiano: You couldn't ask anything more from this man. Benzema and Higuain: I throw them in the same bag. Underperformed this season. They both have enough talent to triple what they did this season. Personal problems, injuries and what not. Not the two that strikers that Real Madrid fans fell in love with. Morata: Good third season for the 20 year old. It's only the beginning for him though.
Q: D3Dousch – Do you see CR7 winning the Ballon D'Or this season?
A: I saw him winning it last season, yet he didnt. There is politics involved in that award that make it highly unpredictable. Does he deserve it? Absolutely.
Q: Vignesh_b: How do you rate Mourinho's three years?
A: I think I answered that question a bit in my last blog post. He has been a major improvement from the latest we have seen. One cup every year.
Titles before his arrival:
2003-4: Supercopa; 2004-5: Nothing; 2005-6: Nothing; 2006-7: Liga; 2007-8: Liga; 2008-9: Supercopa
Needless to say as I know many remember, throughout these years we were embarrassingly kicked out of Champions League and in many of these also embarrassingly kicked out from Copa del Rey by very humble teams.
Mourinho received a Real Madrid who was no longer head of the UCL Group Stage as we kept on failing to get past quarter finals. He gained us back respect in OUR competition, lifted the first Copa del Rey in 18 years and guided the BEST Liga title ever seen in the history of Spanish football.
I rate it highly.
Q: ISSA_91: Who's responsible for the tensile atmosphere in Real Madrid?
A: There is no single person to blame. I remember everything exploded when a certain lady opened her mouth to the media. The media has pressured Real Madrid for three years, upon Mourinho's arrival, coincidentally or not. When something happens in the dressing room the ones who deal with it are to blame. Let me explain. Cristiano and Marcelo were said to not be friends anymore. I think we have seen a change in their relationship HOWEVER neither of them spoke out or made a big deal out of it. Similarly when Cristiano was said to have a problem with Mourinho and when Xabi was said to have a problem with Mourinho neither of the three parties spoke to the media about it, in fact, they all one way or another said not everyone needs to be friends off the dressing room and that the problems had to be dealt with internally. The issue arises when it reaches the media through word of mouth of the person itself. For instance, Pepe came out and talked to the media defying Mourinho. AFTER Pepe spoke up, the MEDIA ASKED Mourinho about the topic to which he REPLIED. If the media hears something, they will ask in the press conference. Always. If they don't hear anything from the player himself, then they would have had nothing to ask about. It's all a matter of how everyone chooses to deal with their problems.
Q: Khat_L – What happens to superb Lopez next season?
A: Believe it or not, although he has a contract, his staying depends on who coaches Real Madrid next season.
Q: Adeem23 – Are we still unbeated at the Bernabeu?
A: Yes and no. On paper, we are. The Bernabeu was used against Atleti as a neutral ground so we were not the "home team". I said no because in our minds we know we lost to Atleti at "home".
Q: CasparusDue – IF Real Madrid was relegated, who do you think would stay?
A: Ufff.. tough question. I think generally the younger ones would leave, maybe on loan. I can see Iker, Pepe, Arbeloa, Ozil, Varane staying. It's a really hard question. It's not a matter of who loves the team more. Some cannot live without being in a European competition even for a year. For some, if we would be relegated in 2014, 2015 would mean their last season as professionals so I doubt they'd want to be in Segunda for their goodbye. Tough!
Q: Madredista1 – Players out for next season
A: Adán was confirmed when Diego arrived, Kaká should, Carvalho should, I think one of the following three will Marcelo/Coentrão/Di Maria and Higuain probably will, I don't think he is happy at Real Madrid anymore. Calleti has failed to perform IMO.
Q: Madredista1 – Is there a way to get rid of Marca/AS and the fuss they are creating?
A: YES. Don't read them! Don't listen to them! Ignore them!
Q: IDYahCasillas – I just want Iker to play, what do you think?
A: I think your opinion is shared by many, but don't you think that would be unfair to Diego? I don't think he has done anything to deserve NOT starting and I like Mou for not marrying anyone, no matter the name.
Q: Abdmarshoud – Is Neymar a good deal for Real Madrid?
A: I think Neymar is overrated. Having said that, I do not mean he is not talented. I think he would be an asset to any team he joins however he is a bit of a diva so his arrival would have to mean someone's departure. Di Maria's to be more precise.
Q: ShitArpanSays – Two main targets for next season
A: Aguero and Carvajal
Q: Saif7Almazrooei – Manager if Mou leaves?
A: Karanka
Q: Carol_vrgr – What should be done differently next season for La Décima to be won?
A: Tough. Look at how we exited in the past three years. First, controversially against Barcelona. Second, in penalties against Bayern Munich. Third, by one goal against Dortmund. All standing. Needing one more goal. I think we need a striker who will always perform. One that can keep up with Cristiano's madness and enjoy Mesut's passes. The key has already been obtained, we just need that one last goal. Any of the three teams that made it to semis could have easily won the Champions.
Q: RealisticGunner – Marcelo is great going forward but how is he defensively?
A: I think defensively he is better than Fábio. This year this may not have been shown but last year it certainly did. He has majorly improved his defensive game. Even Ashley Cole himself called him the best left back in the world. It's a shame that he got injured right as he was peeking. I trust that in 2014 he will be back to show you his defensive work.
Q: Ekker95 – Will Jesé be in the first team next season?
A: The deal with Jesé is the following: Most talented player in Real Madrid Castilla. Mourinho told him to work harder earlier in the season, not even two weeks after this encounter, he lost his head in the 17th minute of a game and kicked a player on the ground to then spit at another one. Did he deserve a reward after this? I think any coach in the world will give you the same answer. Then, frustrated as he was performing magnificently in Segunda, he gave an interview to the media bashing Mourinho. He did this cowardly when he left Castilla to play for the U21 Spanish team as he knew the club would never had allowed him to talk to the media. With this kind of behaviour it is hard to get a reward. The talent is there but he needs to be better behaved and better guided. He will probably look for a team next season, rumors said Leverkussen.

India betters ranking to 24th in international tourist arrivals
With the inclusion of non-resident Indians among international tourists, India has jumped 16 places in the revised World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) rankings to settle at 24th for 2014 and 2015.
Earlier, it was ranked 41st and 40th in 2014 and 2015, respectively, as per the global ranking.
The rank of India in international tourist arrivals (ITA) in both 2014 and 2015 in the latest UNWTO's World Tourism Barometer, as of March 2017, is 24th as against the previous ranks of 41st and 40th in 2014 and 2015, respectively, as per a press release issued by the Ministry of Tourism.
UNWTO is the United Nation's agency managing promotion of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism and its barometer ranks countries in terms of their ITAs- comprising both foreign tourist arrivals as well as non- resident arrivals.
So far only the figures of foreign tourist arrivals (FTAs) were compiled in India.
However, now India has started compiling the data arrivals of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) also.
"Due to this inclusion, India's improved rank reflecting the true and comparable scenario has now been acknowledged by the UNWTO," the release said.
With this inclusion, the share of India in the ITAs has also increased from 0.68 per cent (based on FTAs) to 1.12 per cent in 2015.
In fact, India has taken huge strides in the tourism sector in the last year with its rank in the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI), 2017 had also shown a 12 places jump from 2015.
Rank of India in TTCI Report of 2017 was 40 as compared to 52 in 2015, 65 in 2013 and 68 in 2011.
While UNWTO gives ranking in terms of numbers of ITAs, TTCI is composed of 14 pillars organised into four sub-indices of 'Enabling Environment', 'Travel and Trade Policy and Enabling Conditions', 'Infrastructure' and 'Natural and Cultural Resources'.

We're all guilty of it …the "Should've" factor; knowing ahead of time that we should've done this or that, and for a million reasons, we didn't, only to pay a price for it later.
Assisted living traditionally provides the means for someone to carry on their life as normal …independence in tact and in control of their daily routine and travels, while also being reassured that help is close by if necessary.
There are some things, however, that residents of an Assisted Living environment should provide for themselves, and a clear, accurate, up to date emergency medical outline is one of those things. While the administration and staff of an Independent or Assisted Living facility typically maintain an 'emergency card' on file, even if it contains a moderate amount of medical information, they often lack a full 'snapshot' that's current, complete and able to travel with you should you need to go to an emergency room.
As Betty's story explains, even a minor medical crisis can be aided by having a complete medical outline available.
I was conscious …hadn't hit my head or anything, and I could have certainly told them anything they wanted to know
Betty was in her early 80's and lived comfortably in what was originally called a 'retirement' complex, now considered assisted living.
She had her own apartment, could cook simple meals for herself (or join others in the dining room) and enjoyed the independent living atmosphere with the added bonus of on-site social activities and transportation to the grocery store, or for a doctor's appointment.
Betty had much to be grateful for; she was healthy, generally strong and had a quick mind. Unlike many of her friends, she only took a couple of medications for blood pressure and cholesterol, and maintained an active lifestyle with moderate exercise. You could say Better felt somewhat ahead of the game, all things considered.
The frequency of fire paramedics rolling in through the lobby became a familiar sight, as in near daily, so when Betty and others had the opportunity to complete a personal medical outline, she didn't hesitate. She didn't have any reason to suspect that she was at risk of a 911 call, but just the same, thought it was a good idea just in case.
Nearly six months later, Betty took a rather awkward, semi-braced fall in her apartment. While she didn't feel she had broken anything, she was having difficulty getting up …she pushed her call alert button.
In standard fashion, the paramedics arrived and were escorted to her apartment by staff, at which point they began to assess her and asked if, like many of the other residents, she had a printed medical outline. "Oh yes," Betty replied, "Right on the refrigerator."
Just to be safe and to ensure she hadn't suffered a small fracture anywhere, the paramedics transported Betty to the ER for x-rays and an exam.
The next day, Betty called me to tell me what had happened and how much she appreciated having her emergency medical outline.
"I was conscious …hadn't hit my head or anything, and I could have certainly told them anything they wanted to know," Betty said, then added, "but it was so nice that I didn't have to. They had everything they needed and we were on our way to the ER in no time at all. They took my outline with them and when the ER doctor came in to see me, he had it in his hand, so his questions were just about my fall and a few questions about pain."
"So it wasn't a stressful thing for you, Betty?" I asked.
"None whatsoever, really." she replied, continuing, "I can tell you that had I really been in pain, or suffered something really bad, I would be even more grateful that I didn't have to communicate much. It worked exactly as you said it would and the paramedics were really happy that I had it!"
Expect all the best, but prepare for the unexpected
Accidents happen when we least expect and for some, the risk of a medical emergency is greater than for others.
There are millions of 'Betty's' out there and our mission is to educate every one of them we can find. If you'd prefer not to use our 911Snapshot™ outlines, then download our free ebook and get the facts about how to create (and keep up to date!) your own.
You or someone you love will be glad you did. And if you have an occasion to use your outline, tell us about your experience!
If you've got questions we can answer to help get you started, ask away through the comment tab, or simply post in the comments section below. Someone else may have the same question running through their mind.
In the meanwhile, be safe, be healthy and be your own best advocate!

A series of paintings featuring food in different situations
found on foodmuseum.jigsy.com
Artists, photographers and illustrators seem to have been fascinated by food in all aspects of life up through history. Harvesting, cooking, serving and eating, all of it can be found in paintings in galleries all over the world.
Some pictures may show poverty, some quite the opposite. Some are kitchen scenes, some show people round tables ar home, some in restaurants, some again show people eating outdoors.
Common for all these pictures and illustrations is the food, be it a girl peeling a potato, a woman having breakfast or farmers showing their goods at a market or Andy Warhol's famous Cambell's soup tins.
I hope you enjoy this small collection of food in art – Ted

Masterly – The Dutch in Milano
Palazzo Francesco Turati
Via Meravigli 7
20123 Milan
Hozan Zangana was fifteen years old when he applied for asylum in The Netherlands in 1998. His future starts a decade later when he decides to study at Design Academy Eindhoven. Not an obvious choice, given the road he had to travel, but it is exactly this background that will determine the essence of his design practice.
Presentation 1
Born and raised in Kirkuk in the north of Iraq, Hozan Zangana was mesmerized from a very early age by the original 7th century Kufic script with its heavy calligraphy full of voluptuous curves and fat strands like charmed snakes. They almost seem small sculptures. Silent shadows of ancient Mesopotamian and Persian statues. Hozan Zangana digs deep in his study of the shapes of the Kufic script and discovers how the history of the region is told through the hands of the old calligraphy masters; there must be a relation between this monumental writing style and the rise of a religion that prohibits the making of images and sculptures and that would destroy so many art treasures. Age-old cultures have been reduced to two-dimensional decorative patterns this way. The original volume, which is so meaningful for the Kufic calligraphy, disappears over time and the script slims down to mere lines. Modern Kufic can expect only one question: 'What is it?' This question is essential to Zangana; it draws us as spectators into an abstract space. The result is a collection of intuitive objects that communicates like the 7th century Kufic script.
Presentation 2
The breathtaking antique salons of Palazzo Francesco Turati will host a presentation where the creations of over 125 Dutch designers dialogue with exquisite Dutch Golden Age paintings. Masterly is here to show how the extant Dutch scene has successfully transferred handcraft techniques from its past tradition to contemporary design. curated by Nicole Uniquole

A few days ago, a TED article titled 'What's the most satisfying job in the world? You'd be surprised' appeared on my Facebook feed. In the article, psychologist Barry Schwartz shares 3 real-life stories from his book 'Why We Work' that confirmed not only my belief that people want to get more out of work, but that's it's actually possible to do so. The examples of the hospital custodian, the carpet maker and the hair stylist have given me new inspiration to help employees get more out of their work in 2017. Thank you Barry Schwartz for a wonderful Christmas gift!

So this year, now Ava is older, we have introduced many new subjects and more variations of certain subjects for her. For instance, English no longer consists of Reading Eggs sessions everyday. Although this was fun and it served its purpose, there was only so much it could provide and it ended up just being a supplement to her English studies so I decided for her we would not continue with the subscription. Having said that, I cant recommend it enough for younger children just learning to read the basics, it gamifies the whole learning experience which makes it less laborious for both parent and child.
So here is how a week of English goes for us at the moment.
Every day of the week we follow the Writing With Ease Workbooks by Susan Wise Bauer. A big recommendation from us for its simplistic scripted lesson plans and worksheets to go with the lessons. She has literally done all the legwork for you so you don't have to do a thing. Each book has a whole years worth of lessons!
We also listen to chapters of audio books together daily with breakfast. We might also do this while we are drawing or doing some sort of handcraft. It's an opportunity for them to hear a variety of different of writing compositions and words along with their correct pronunciations. The theory behind this practice is that even if they don't understand the literature they're listening to, the seeds are being sown for future understanding and it will help them to grasp the more complex literature down the line. Essentially we use audio books in place of television and both the girls love it!
Monday: We follow First Language Lessons by Jessie Wise. I also cannot recommend this book enough. Just like the Writing With Ease books, the lessons are scripted so it makes it nice and simple for parents and each book also has a whole years worth of lessons!
Tuesday: Ava has independent reading, this is simply where she will read a book with literature that's suited to her ability. She's really enjoying David Walliams' books at the moment. She's almost finished the entire series of his books!
Wednesday: First Language Lessons by Jessie Wise.
Thursday: First Language Lessons by Jessie Wise.
And finally,
Friday: I try and make Fridays super fun and relaxed to round off the week and create that 'It's the weekend!' atmosphere, so on Friday we explore creative writing together with the help of Story Cubes. Story Cubes are dice with icons that are designed to prompt story telling. Not only do we love using them for creative writing but we use them for puppet shows, I will use them for bedtime stories and sometimes we will play them as a game and each take it in turns to roll a dice and take it in turns to narrate the story in which direction we'd like. I love Story cubes, they're so versatile and I love to make learning play based as much as I possibly can.
Here's how we use them for creative writing.
- I like to start by having Ava look at the different genres. We tend to choose one small genre pack or three dice from one of the large genre packs and mix them with five dice from the original pack, the orange one.
- We then roll all the dice at once and set them aside while we look at our story template from Usborne's Write Your Own Story book.
- Then, I'll ask Ava to place a cube on each prompt on the template.
- For help with ideas on key words and settings we use the Story Genres Display Poster Pack from Twinkl, we then set about trying to think of a story to match the icons rolled.
And she ends up creating something like this..
(I have translated the image underneath as I appreciate not everyone will be able to understand her awesome and unique spellings).
"Once upon a time there was a girl called Emily, she had a pink dress and ginger hair. She lived near a train station that always stopped outside a haunted town. One day Emily got on the train and she got off at the haunted town and a monster appeared. And so she ran into a haunted house but she did not know it was haunted. However as she walked in, the door slammed shut. She was locked in. Then a ghost chased her so she closed the door and locked the ghost in. Eventually she found a key and got out. In the end she never went back to the haunted house again, not even the haunted town. The end."
I really love how such simple tools can spark imagination to allow children to create such exciting ideas. I'm quite impressed with how her story turned out. She grasped how a story works and was able to create her very own.
Do you have Story Cubes? If so, how do you use them? We would love to see your ideas as we are always looking for new ways to make learning more fun and exciting for our family. Feel free to share your ideas on our Facebook page or leave a comment below to your website, we'd love to read and follow your journey!

Food Access
Many people are fortunate to not even have to think about questions of food access and food security, however, many people are less fortunate and live in neighborhoods and communities where fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products are scarce and grocery stores providing these products are very limited.
New York City's Healthy Bodegas [Corner Store] Initiative aims to increase the number of healthy choices of fruits, vegetables, and low-fat milk throughout the City's many corner stores and bodegas.
U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Economic Research Service Food Desert Locator, which maps neighborhoods of people and census tracts of populations who live far from a full service grocery store and have low or limited access to healthy, nutritious food.
U. S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Economic Research Service Your Food Environment Atlas, which provides a spatial overview and mapping of county-level statistics on food choices, health and well-being, and other community attributes.
Mobile markets
Mobile farmers markets and food carts are being developed and utilized in innovative ways to address and improve food access to healthy foods.
Farm Bus: From Farm 2 Family distributes seasonal, locally-grown produce, meat and diary products in urban Richmond, Virginia and Washington, D.C. and educate people and customers about food security with a retrofitted school bus that serves as mobile marketplace and classroom.
New York City Green Cart Initiative encourages mobile food carts to offer fresh produce in certain New York City areas. Mayor Bloomberg on March signed a local law, which establishes 1,000 permits for Green Carts.
Peaches and Greens Produce Market is operated by a faith-based community development corporation in Detroit, Michigan. As part of their Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative, they seek to improve the availability and accessibility of fresh produce in under served neighborhoods of Detroit through community gardens and a mobile produce market.
Stockbox Grocers is one example of entrepreneurs trying to address the grocery gap in neighborhoods where good food is scarce.

EMI-Warner merger in trouble?
Has the Time Warner/EMI Group merger hit a snag? London's 'Financial Times' reported on Friday that there may be a
counter-offer by a consortium of three unnamed U.S. record companies. Some EMI shareholders are concerned with the
Warner deal, because European authorities have launched a four-month antitrust probe, worried that the amalgamated
company would have too much concentration of power, control the largest number of copyrights in the world and dominate
digital downloading.

It's the first time research has shown a connection between depression and heart health. A study from the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles says that depression can raise your risk of developing an irregular heart rhythm that's been linked to stroke and heart failure.
Researchers followed more than 6,600 participants in a long-term, multi-ethnic study and found the risk of atrial fibrillation increased by about a third for people who either reported symptoms of depression or had been prescribed antidepressants. That increased risk persisted during a decade-long follow-up period even after controlling for other known risk factors like smoking, obesity and high blood pressure.
The findings were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association.
