Hi everyone..new on this,I'm currently 11 weeks in with identical twins ,I'll be attending the coombe for bloods etc...are all these tests mandatory or have you a choice?..,its only the HIV one etc as I'm a complete worrier and I have no need to be tested for this ..any advice is appreciated
Thanks ladies.:)
It's standard to test for a range of stds (at the beginning of pregnancy) as well as other things like iron throughout pregnancy. It is even more important to test when having id twins because it is automatically a "High Risk" pregnancy. You will get regular checkups and scans to check the progress of their growth and development which is very important especially if they share a sac and/or a placenta. It is both in your and your babies best interests to have these check done. If you are not being properly monitored, the complications that may occur are a lot worse and could be very dangerous for your babies wellbeing.
They also test for immunity against rubella, chicken pox and those things...my friend received mmr as baby and two boosters as child/teen and is not immune to rubella or measles even after injections...I have been around children with slap cheek in the past and would have assumed I was immune and was surprised that I am not immune to slap cheek which is dangerous during pregnancy...they also check your blood type which is kecessary to know whether you are rhesus positive or negative incase of a bump or car accident because if you are negative and baby is positive and your blood mixes it is dangerous and you will need to receive an anti d injection...I'm not sure if it's mandatory and if it's not it's up to you whether or not you wish to get them done, the info above is what I researched and knew and learnt about the bloods being taken at that appointment :) best of luck xx

The Galaxy Note 7 packs in the best screen that you can purchase at this moment.
That is the finish of DisplayMate, which is broadly perceived as running the most far-reaching set of tests on the most recent telephones to decide how the presentation looks at against contenders and past models.
Beam Soneira, the president of DisplayMate, frequently runs the definite tests on the top lead phones. He stacks acclaim on the Galaxy Note 7, contending that even the name is a misnomer considering how far it pushes show execution ahead.
"Since the Note arrangement for the most part leads in presentation innovation, the Note 7 should have been known as the Note 8 so its name will be a better match up with the future Galaxy S8," Soneira said in his investigation.
As far as points of interest, Sonia says that the Note 7 is the brightest show ever (more than 1,000 units with programmed brilliance mode empowered), and incorporates an exceptionally exact wide shading array DCI-P3 mode and backing for HDR video.
The screen reflectance is a negligible 4.6 percent, near the most reduced he's deliberate. That joined with the high differentiation, splendid showcase, and double encompassing light sensors on the front and back of the phone to make the Note 7 one of the best telephones ever for use in brilliant sunlight conditions.
The report takes note of that the solid execution of Samsung's OLED presentations could push Apple to change the iPhone to this innovation in 2017. It's still gossip now, yet given how far the presentation quality has come there's a tolerable chance that Apple is giving it a genuine look.
The greatest test is scale: Apple offers well more than 200 million telephones a year, and it might be hard to make enough AMOLED showcases of top-level quality.
Why this matters: Samsung hints at no backing off in how solid it performs with cell phone shows. Its most recent lead has frequently been the champ of DisplayMate's crown.
What's more, recently it's been making the best Android phone you can purchase, as we've been cheerful to suggest Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

DDTC: No Further Need to Lodge Licenses for Permanent Export of ITAR Items With CBP
Yesterday, the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) announced on its website that licenses to export ITAR-controlled goods from the US on a permanent basis (e.g., DSP-5s) no longer have to be lodged (i.e., deposited) with US Customs (CBP). This policy is effective immediately.
The lodging of the hard copy of export licenses with CBP at the port of exit is an antiquated and problematic process that frequently results in export delays and penalties, since the license must be lodged before the EEI filing is made. This is a welcome development for US exporters of ITAR-controlled items.
DDTC's announcement is below:
Rule Waiver for Exporters to Deposit Permanent Export Licenses with CBP
In anticipation of the implementation of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), DDTC is electronically sending CBP registration and licensing data on a daily basis. Since CBP port officials will have access to the DDTC registration and licensing data through ACE, there is no longer a need for exporters to deposit permanent export licenses with CBP prior to filing in ACE.
Effective immediately, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense Trade Controls is exercising the authority under 22 CFR 126.3 to waive the requirement under 22 CFR 123.22(a)(1) for exporters to deposit permanent export licenses with CBP prior to filing in the Automated Export System (AES) or ACE. This exemption will remain in effect until DDTC amends the language of 22 CFR 123.22(a)(1) to remove the requirement.
We anticipate that DDTC will issue a final rule amending the ITAR to implement this change early next year.

Watch a video of faculty and alumni reflecting on the MAP program
This year, as the nation honors the 50th anniversaries of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Johnson Administration's War on Poverty, Berkeley Social Welfare's Management and Planning program is celebrating its own five-decade milestone.
Introduced at the School of Social Welfare as the Community Organizing and Administration (CO&A) concentration, and eventually undergoing a name change in the mid-1970s to Organization, Planning and Administration before becoming Management and Planning – or MAP, for short – the program has produced generations of social work leaders and professionals seeking to improve the systems and influence the policies affecting society's most vulnerable members.
To help prepare students who were eager to promote social change through community organization, School of Social Welfare Professor Emeritus and doctoral alumnus Ralph Kramer (PhD '64) was hired by longtime Dean Milton Chernin to run a program tailored to meet the demands of agency operation and community work. Additionally, School Professors Emeriti Bob Pruger and Leonard Miller as well as Professor Neil Gilbert taught core courses in the program.
According to Berkeley Social Welfare Professor, MAP alumnus and current Program Director Michael Austin (MSW '66), Dr. Kramer's goals in helping establish the School's first formal community organization program was to work "with faculty to develop a macro practice concentration that would complement the direct service focus of the MSW program," which at the time included psychiatric social work, medical social work and juvenile corrections. In its initial iteration, CO&A was a second-year program with practice courses in community organization and administration as well as field placement service three days per week.
Distinguished alumna and founder of the pioneering human services agency the Unity Council, Arabella Martinez (MSW '66), who, like Dr. Austin, was a graduate of the program's second cohort, distinctly recalls the "focus on community and administration." "The School of Social Welfare is where I first learned how to write proposals and work with boards of directors," she says.
"People in our group were very much interested in systems change," remembers Dr. Austin. "Community organizing was part and parcel of the learning. My classmates had connections in the different communities and maintained and grew them."
As the political radicalism of the late 1960s settled into the 1970s and early-1980s Reagan Era, the social work field similarly evolved, as did Berkeley Social Welfare's graduate program. "Social work began to move towards a more established space, and there was a curriculum shift to management and planning," notes Dr. Gilbert. "The idea was that agencies would need people with management skills. Our academic program began to focus more on social planning and technical, research-oriented aspects of community practice."
During this period, the School also started prioritizing diverse professional experiences. "The School began to institute a 'preference' in our admissions by asking incoming students to have at least two years of some kind of paid experience in the field," explains Dr. Gilbert. "The idea was that if students came in with a 'real-world' understanding, their expectations of their graduate education and professional training would better align."
Anne Wilson (MSW '79), CEO of the United Way of the Bay Area and a graduate of the CO&A program, was one such example of a student seasoned with real-world experience. Wilson had spent three years as a probation officer after completing her undergraduate degree before deciding to pursue her MSW. "I learned a lot from my classmates, who almost all had come from jobs in the field and could draw from their experiences for classroom discussions," she says.
The interactions and shared discussions within cohorts have continued to be cited by successive generations of program alumni as one of the most important aspects of their graduate education. "My cohort was an incredible group," says Andrea DuBrow (MSW '98). She notes that among her MAP class are high-level administrators in the City and County of San Francisco Human Services Agency; the State Department of Corrections; CASA, Alameda County; and the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Agency.
DuBrow, herself, is field consultant for the MAP program. Like her predecessors – Bari Cornet, who filled the role from 1990-2010, Barbara Weiss, who expanded the fieldwork program from 1966-90, and Doris Britt, who coordinated the fieldwork program from 1963-66 and eventually assumed duties in the admissions office – DuBrow provides the all-important service of matching MAP students with challenging field placements and ensuring that they are maximizing learning opportunities and goals through internship experiences.
As for today's MAP program, which benefits from the teaching and contributions of Professors Jill Duerr Berrick and Julian Chow in addition to Drs. Gilbert and Austin's ongoing work, the ever-changing context and evolving complexity of managing human service agencies and nonprofits – along with the students' understanding and anticipation of those realities – have strongly influenced classroom learning. "In the last 20 years, the nature of student expectations have helped to shape the reformulating of the curriculum," says Dr. Austin.
Dr. Austin notes that in looking to the future, themes centering on the use of technology to manage and improve organizational operations as well as an orientation to database decision-making and evidence-informed management practice will continually grow in importance in MAP curricula. He also hopes to further emphasize the increasing need for inter-agency collaboration in human services – a point echoed by program alumni.
"Inter-agency collaboration is hugely important," insists Martinez. "That's fundamental because you can't have silos. They don't work."
"Boundary busting is really important," says Wilson. "MAP students have to know that if they want to work in the community organizing or policy- and systems-changing spaces, the private sector is a part of that, and it needs to be at the table. The public, nonprofit and private sectors working together – that's the future."
"Our field is in need of smart and creative people who understand policy, program development, systems issues and social justice," adds DuBrow. "The School of Social Welfare can help by offering the most current and rigorous internships and classroom experiences that draw on existing and anticipated future needs of the communities we serve."
Berkeley Social Welfare congratulates the MAP program and faculty on 50 years of educating and training outstanding and visionary leaders in the field.

Loose lips sink ships—and bears, too. Is American manufacturing under siege from the American presidency? Ever since the infamous "You Didn't Build That" speech, questions arise about what those words mean.
Must this writer's granddaughter now accept as fact that she didn't build her Build-A-Bear buddy? She certainly thought she did, and her parents gave her that impression, too. Now, must they issue a retraction, and set about an Obama plan for re-education?
How does this first "Birds and Bears" speech go?
"Okay, dear, do you remember what we told you about building a bear?"
"And, remember how your bear was special because nobody else made one quite like it?"
"And remember how your bear looks really cute because it's different from all the others?"
"Well, that may not be true."
"We want to tell you this ourselves because that is a parent's responsibility."
"You didn't build that bear. I'm sorry, honey, but we got this straight from the president."
"It's my bear! Yes, I did!"
"No, honey, it's not your bear because you didn't build it, really."
"I built it, and I can take it apart, too!"
"Stop, honey, stop tearing that bear up!"
"It's my bear! I'm gonna tear it up, and make it again tomorrow!"
"Wait! Wait! You don't need to do that—"
"Yes, I do! I can prove this bear is mine and nobody else's!"
"You better go to bed, honey. We can talk about this tomorrow."
"No, I'm not going to bed!"
"We'll read you your favorite story—"
"No, no, no, no, no! You can't have my bear!"
"It's about Goldilocks and the three bears—"
"Well, who made those bears?"
"Gosh, I don't know. The White House hasn't put out a statement on that yet."
"Well, they can't have those bears, either!"
"Shhh. Just let us tuck you in. It'll be all better tomorrow."
* * * * *
"Should we tell her?"
"She's too young to understand, dear. It'll just upset her if we explain the government made her, too."

Steven Gerrard is on the verge of becoming the next manager of Rangers, according to reports.
READ MORE - Would Steven Gerrard be a good fit for Rangers?
The ex-Liverpool captain held talks with Ibrox chiefs earlier in the week and is said to be encouraged by what he's heard.
It is believed Gerrard has told the club's board he will accept their offer and will be officially unveiled next week.
His former Anfield team-mate Gary McAllister will join him as assistant manager.
Gerrard has been coaching Liverpool's under-18s side after retiring from playing following a stint with LA Galaxy.
This job represents his first role as manager. The 37-year-old was previously offered to take over at MK Dons but knocked back the League One side.

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to enhance the understanding of mechanisms which regulate the alternative splicing process. This differential post-transcriptional processing is important in the regulated expression of structurally distinct protein isoforms, essential to eukaryotic development and cell differentiation. The detailed mechanisms which dictate how alternative splicing is accomplished, however, remain obscure. As such, model systems are needed in which the factors contributing to these mechanisms can be dissected. Tropomyosin, a ubiquitous protein, plays an important role in the regulation of contractility of muscle and nonmuscle cells. In nonmuscle cells, it is found in stress fibers, while in sarcomeric and non-sarcomeric muscle, it is a component of the thin filament. The alpha-tropomyosin (alpha-TM) gene in the rat exhibits an unprecedented capacity to generate isoform diversity through differential exon splicing in a tissue-specific and developmentally-regulated manner. These isoforms, produced by alternative splicing, are specifically expressed in nonmuscle, smooth and striated (cardiac and skeletal) muscle cells. This system offers the opportunity to study the mechanisms and factors which are of prime importance in determining developmental and tissue specificity in regulating alternative RNA splicing. The specific aims of this project are (1) expanding the identification of the alpha-TM mRNA products; (2) characterization of the alpha-TM alternative splicing mechanisms; and (3) continuing the characterization of nerve extract factors which can regulate alpha-TM post-transcriptional processing. The second aim will be accomplished by constructing a set of plasmids incorporating either the complete genomic sequence or subsegments of it in hybrid minigenes. Expression of these constructs will be obtained by transformation of nonmuscle, as well as differentiated and undifferentiated muscle cells in culture, followed by analysis of their products. The third aim will focus on defining the biochemical properties of exogenous neural factors which can regulate alpha-TM isoform production. Future investigations will focus on the mechanisms by which these neural-specific factors illicit their effects by combining extracts with alpha-TM minigene constructs in cellular transformation studies.

Aspiration Series
I am not a Sunday Painter. My studio is a spiritual container—the safest space I've ever known. It transcends time, abolishes judgement, builds happiness and clings to the lack of fear of loving every part of who I am. Since I was a small child, I have traveled to this place. My mother showed me the passage. I continue to forge out of this sanctuary with enthusiasm and aspire to connect. To connect that beautiful encapsulation to you and others who visually breathe it in. I want a gold star. But this is more complicated than in kindergarten. The one I am aspiring to gain is not obtainable by subscribing to a subjective form of validation. You see, my own truth is in recognizing that to achieve is to not actively pursue achievement in the act of making my art. I am existing to balance the aspiration of connecting and the isolation of creating. I tip toe with intention on this tight rope. I know I might fall, but I have already signed a waiver. I am not a Sunday Painter.

Kentucky couples who are facing the end of their marriage may be interested to learn that some couples are actually putting a hold on the divorce process while the future of health care in the U.S. remains uncertain. This is because some could lose their private health insurance when the divorce is finalized, especially if they did not work during the marriage.
Gray divorce isn't referring to your hair color
Many Kentucky residents are currently navigating the divorce process. If you're one of them, you know it's seldom easy and often wrought with stress. If you happen to be age 50 or older, you may face even greater challenges than most. However, you are definitely not alone as the number of people in this age range seeking divorces has steadily increased in recent years.
Military service members have highest rates of divorce
Although few Kentucky couples get married with the assumption that it will eventually end in divorce, not all marriages last. In fact, money problems, mental illness and stress from work can wear down a marriage to the point where a divorce becomes necessary. However, an analysis of U.S. census data showed that people who work in some career paths are more likely to get divorced by the age of 30 than those who work in others.
Divorce myths can mislead separating spouses
Sometimes, it seems to estranged Kentucky couples that everyone has gone through a divorce. While this can help them receive a sympathetic ear, it can also lead to a surfeit of incorrect legal advice from well-intentioned, yet ill-informed, friends and family members.
In a marital split-up, how will our property be split up?
Divorce can take a toll on you both financially and emotionally. One of the biggest areas of contention during the dissolution of a marriage is the division of property, especially for couples who have large amounts of property or high-value property.
Using a QDRO to divide a 401(k)
When a Kentucky couple gets a divorce and one of them has a retirement account, it will likely be considered part of the marital assets that must be divided. However, if a person wants to give some or all of a 401(k) to a former spouse, that 401(k) cannot simply be assigned to another person. Furthermore, a withdrawal and distribution to another person may incur tax and penalties.

services at the learning centre
At Frog Hollow Reggio-Inspired Learning Centre, we believe that the best way of learning is a highly individual approach; inspired by the philosophies and methods of the Reggio-Emilia approach, we frame our learning strategy in the following way:
Holding a curious mind and a rich image of the child is a practice that comes with understanding of the self and others and requires ongoing collaboration and reflection with colleagues and families. We believe that seeing children and educators in action can be a very positive learning experience for teachers who are exploring the Reggio Emilia approach.
See the "Observe" tab below for more information.
We offer a wide range of public and customized services to provide opportunities for our visitors to learn about the Reggio Emilia approach and to reflect on the information they have received. Every educator and every program is unique and the process of reflection is essential to prepare and bring back information for your own programs.
See the "Reflect" tab below for more information.
Collaboration is our key to a better world. At Frog Hollow Reggio-Inspired Learning Centre, reaching out to other inspired educators and programs allows us to share ideas and thoughts.
See the "Discuss" tab below for more information.

text: What motivates us to watch the endless news stories coming out of Japan at the current time? I acknowledge my own discomfort in recognising that my response is much more revealing of myself and my own sentimentality and curiosity. It seems whenever disaster strikes this is our reaction and the easy access to other people's trouble afforded by a global media system allows our indulgence. At the same time such images can produce a humanitarian response of giving that reminds us of our common humanity.

Bringing Home the Bread: The Bread Made It Home!
I am thinking of using a milk-crate to transport this sort of stuff. I used a milk-crate when I was a teenager and it worked great.
There is a store on my way home and a very nice bakery and I could have made stops on my route but I did not want to stop riding and unload my son on our way home. I bought the bread and leeks on my lunch break.
I might try biking and shopping sometime. Just to see how it goes.

Unbelieveable! I leave town for five minutes and everything goes all to hell.
On Friday it seemed like a good idea to go to the tree farm for the weekend, but now I'm not so sure I should have turned my back. We left Calgary basking in glorious autumnal sunshine; cool, but cheery as it reflected off the yellows, golds and reds of turning leaves. It really is a beautiful time of year. But overnight on Saturday, winter snuck in and stole about ten degrees from the thermometer, blanketing everything in 2″ of snow.
Ironically I was reading (re-reading, more accurately) Wintersmith at the time. It's a book by Terry Pratchett (seriously – if you haven't read any of his books and you like to laugh, read some) which deals, among other things, with the dance between Summer and Winter and the inevitable changing of the seasons. Personally I feel that, given how sluggish she was arriving this year, Summer could have held on a little longer. Just saying.
In another ironic twist, we had spent the weekend planning a family ski trip which I'm hoping might partly make up for the fact that we can't go to England this Christmas. Yes, we start talking about skiing, and hey presto, it snows! Very fitting you might think, except that, sadly, the trip's not likely to happen if we don't get in another few weeks of landscaping. So the more old man winter taunts us with the prospect of skiing, the less likely it is that we'll go. Now that's cold!

Japan worries Brexit may affect Asian regional security issues
(Mainichi Japan)
The Japanese government is keeping a close eye on post-Brexit global politics, worried that Britain's departure from the European Union (EU) will weaken the bonds among the Western nations that share with Japan the ideals of liberty and democracy, and lessen their voice in the world.
Tensions are rising as China advances into the East and South China seas, while tough negotiations between Japan and Russia over the disputed Northern Territories off Hokkaido continue. It's possible that the shifting international situation will have an impact on these issues, hence Japan's Brexit anxieties.
It was around the end of 2015 that the Japanese prime minister's office became seriously worried that Britain may leave the EU. The government was ramping up preparations for May's Group of Seven Ise-Shima Summit when people in the office began to realize, "The refugee crisis in the EU is worsening, and it seems like (Britain's) exit is becoming a more realistic possibility. It will be a very tough situation if they choose to leave," according to a senior official.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited London for talks with his British counterpart David Cameron in early May, where he stated to the news media that "Japan very clearly would prefer Britain to remain within the EU." Abe pointed out that there are some 1,000 Japanese firms operating in the United Kingdom, and that "many Japanese companies set up their operations in the UK precisely because the UK is a gateway to the EU."
When U.S. President Barack Obama expressed support for the "Remain" camp during an April visit, he was criticized in Britain for "intervening" in domestic affairs. As such, Abe prefaced his own comments by saying that "the decision is up to the citizens of the UK" and otherwise tried to avoid stirring up the "Leave" camp. However, Japanese firms are said to have made behind-the-scenes moves to prompt Abe to speak out in favor of Remain.
At the Ise-Shima Summit, too, Brexit became a major talking point. According to one Japanese government source, Cameron insisted that his nation's possible departure from the EU be treated as a major economic risk, and it was duly inscribed in the summit's joint declaration on the global economy. At the summit's closing news conference, Cameron stated that Britain should listen to the opinions of its G-7 friends.
With the June 23 referendum result, the British exit from the EU that Japan feared so much has now come to pass -- a fact that Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs Shinsuke Sugiyama called "disappointing" at a June 24 news conference. The ministry will send Sugiyama on an emergency mission to the EU capital Brussels and to London starting on June 29.
Japan and the UK held a two-plus-two foreign and defense ministers' conference in Tokyo in January this year. There, with tensions in the South China Sea in mind, they agreed to strengthen security-related cooperation. One government source told the Mainichi Shimbun, "The British have recently come to see the South China Sea problem in the same way as Japan and the United States. However, with Britain's withdrawal from the EU, economic issues will take precedence, and Britain may forget about the South China Sea."
Brexit may also impact negotiations on a Japan-Russia peace treaty, which Prime Minister Abe is keen to see concluded. As Russia faces off against the U.S. over the crisis in Ukraine, Japan is seeking to break the peace treaty deadlock by showing its willingness to resolve disputes through dialogue. Britain was in favor of strict sanctions against Russia over Ukraine, and now that it will be leaving Europe, "perhaps (Russian President Vladimir) Putin now thinks it will be easy to break up the EU," commented an official at the prime minister's office. And this could make it more difficult for Japan to convince Russia to take a flexible approach to bilateral talks. (By Yohei Maeda, Political News Department)

Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai... This from Bucharest Herald: From Romania with love: The great Singapore escape by Dr Silviu Ionescu When opposition candidate in the last election James Gomez tried to leave Singapore for Sweden where he worked, he was stopped by the police at the airport and his passport impounded. The reason? Gomez was being "investigated" for "intimidating" a civil servant when he (wrongly) accused an election officer of misplacing his application forms.

News on Ion B
Dear Everybody, The story of Ion B (see this article from Hotnews) has really got my attention. Was the video shown on HBO portraying a helping hand or the real and dispicable profitting of an old man's artwork to benefit an art gallery owner? Well, it seems that Ion B is actually pretty well-known these days thanks to Dan Popescu, the guy who discovered him: his artwork is exhibited in Western Europe and even over here in the US. He is described as a contemporary of Warhol and I heard today from a reliable source that he lives... [Lire la suite]

Viewpoint from Ion Vianu printed in Nine O'Clock: 1989-2009: from tyranny to oligarchy published in issue 4588 page 4 at 2009-12-29 On December 22, 1989, Ceausescu relinquished the power he had held on to so tightly for twenty-four years and an illegal regime of more than four decades came to an end. Two days later, on Christmas Eve, the tyrant-dictator was executed following a sentence passed by an exceptional tribunal. A typically communist show-trial, a basic denial of justice. Even Ceausescu summed it all up: 'You... [Lire la suite]

Not exactly new at Cheese, the Selezionatori & Affineur Avenue set between the international and the Italian markets will be one of the richest and most rewards parts of the event.
Thirty-eight renowned international names will be exhibiting their cheeses. Among them will be Neal's Yard Dairy, who've been a fixed presence at Cheese since 2003.
We met Jason Hinds, the sales director and owner of Neal's Yard Dairy, to talk to him about the hot topics of Cheese 2017.
Why did you choose to work with raw milk?
Neal Yard's Dairy has worked largely with producers who specialize in traditional farmhouse recipes and one of the key element in these recipes is that the cheese is made with raw milk. Clearly, historically, traditional cheese recipes were all made with raw milk.
There was a period when there was no pasteurized milk because Louie Pasteur had not invented pasteurization. So clearly at that time all cheese was made with raw milk and many of the producers we work with continue to work with raw milk. We find that the majority of the cheeses we sell with raw milk have more character, have more flavor.
It is important to defend producers who make cheese with raw milk because for our business we depend on cheese that has taste. The cheeses that have the most flavor and aroma are made with raw milk. That's not to say that cheeses that are made with pasteurized milk don't taste good because there are plenty that do, but overall, I think it's true to say that cheeses made with raw milk will have more diversity of flavor and aroma, and these are the cheeses that we have built a business on supporting and selling.
For a milk producer, choosing to make cheese has economic benefits too, right?
There has been a recent phenomenon in the United Kingdom but it's not exclusive to the United Kingdom because the story is related to the commodity price of milk. The cost of milk in the UK as in other parts of the world, recently has been less than the cost of the production of that milk. As a small milk producer, a small dairy farmer, it is very difficult to sustain the production of that milk for a very long time because you will bust. So over the course ten years, with the explosion of demand in farmhouse cheese making, we have seen more dairy farmers consider reorienting their business towards cheese production, transforming their milk into a farmhouse cheese. Because they deem that this could be the only way that could save their liquid milk business, by transforming their milk into a value-added product – cheese.
So we had a number of producers approach us certainly in the last ten years, but with every year that goes by more and more, with two questions: I would like to transform my milk into cheese. What should I make and how should I make it? We have an increasing role in the industry to try to identify the producers and line them up with people who might help them to understand what cheese they should make. Some of these cheeses recently have been made into recipes that are more familiar to perhaps continental-style soft cheese recipes. We are also very keen on redirecting some of these producers towards a more traditional British style of cheese such as Lancashire, Cheshire or Cheddar, or Stilton. Because these cheeses are native to our land, and they too are disappearing.
Can you tell us a little in advance about the raw milk producers we will meet at Cheese?
There is an interesting product that will be at Cheese in September 2017. There is the Somerset Cheddar Presidium that was established in 2003 for artisan Cheddar. Cheddar is the most consumed cheese on the planet. Its most authentic form is the cheese made in Somerset, home of Cheddar. In the county that houses the town of Cheddar, there are only 3 producers still making that cheese – the most consumed cheese on the planet – the most authentic way.
Slow Food has been working together with Neal's Yard Dairy and three cheese makers who created the Presidium for artisan Somerset Cheddar. I think it is important to focus on this particular Presidium because it has been running now for fourteen years and just this week I visited all three of the producers to review the elements in the protocol of this Presidium to see that it is still current.
Can you tell us a little about the biodiversity of cheese in the UK?
The weather systems that prevail the United Kingdom come from west to east. A lot of rain falls on the western side of the country, which is much greener than the eastern part of the country where there is less rainfall. You have a division where most of the dairy farms are situated on the western side of the country. On the east of the country, most of the cows you find will be better suited to beef.
So, west side dairy, east side beef as a starting point. Then you'll see regional variation which has more to do with the history of the type of cheese that has always been made in that area, ranging from Cheddar in the southwest and Cheshire in the mid-western part of the country, which is England's oldest and noblest cheese. Recipes for that cheese can be found from the time Romans occupied the United Kingdom, to Lancashire in the northwest.
There would also historically be a difference in the type of cow that was used to supply the milk to transform into cheese. In Scotland, they used the native Ayrshire breed. In England, they used the native British short horn, both animals producing milk very suited to cheese making. But essentially the variations in the actual styles of cheese would have been more related to the recipes that were handed down from one generation to the next. Also we have a climate which is cool, so the types of cheese that we produce are typically hard cheeses. Because we have a climate where you can keep cheese for weeks and months without those cheeses spoiling.
What do you need to make good cheese?
First of all, to have great milk. That's an obvious thing to say but if you read books about cheese making this particular element is skipped over yet it is the most important part of making good cheese, understanding what good milk is.
If you're a farmer then understanding what type of milk is going to give you the opportunity to make good cheese is very important. What is the animal fed? What breed of cow are you working with? What does your protein and fat ratio look like?
With good milk you can make good cheese. After that, it's more a question of your proficiency, and your attention to detail. The most important step is usually the one that's the most overlooked.
What has changed in the last twenty years?
The last twenty years have been a very interesting time for young people interested in cheese. In the UK there used to be very little farmhouse cheese either sold or made. Therefore there's been growing opportunity because there is a market for those cheeses.
In UK, cheese has almost become trendy. People are interested in devoting potentially their lives to the production of cheese and/or selling cheese. Similar phenomenon can be seen in the US. I think it has to do fact that our traditions have been lost. There is an opportunity to start again. Young people see an opportunity and they see a career. They also don't see their parents or their grandparents being worn down by being stuck in generations' work of hard graft. They see something new, they see opportunity. It's an exciting time.
What are your opinions on Cheese?
Cheese is very special. I've been selling cheese for the last twenty-five years and we've been coming to Cheese since 2003. For me this event is the most dynamic coming together of the farmhouse cheese community, whether it's producers, sellers, wholesalers, retailers, restaurateurs, it is the greatest coming together of this community in the world and it only happens every two years. For us to be near the center of that is very exciting. We meet a lot of friends, but also we have lots of fun.
by Jack Coulton
If you want to know more on cheeses from England and Neal's Yard Dairy, participate in the Taste Workshop, Bermondsey: a Neighborhood in a State of Fermentation on the 16th of September at 4pm. Affineur Avenue is also not to miss!

Huynh Anh Tuan, director of the renowned Idecaf Theater and the successful Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater in Sai Gon, has for the past three months been seen every day at a construction site behind the city's Labor Cultural Palace in District 1.
Tuan moves quickly around, inspecting everything, including the toilets, and checking if his workers need more building materials.
He is transforming a two-story building inside the palace that had housed a billiards center into a theater for traditional Vietnamese folk music targeting tourists.
The 52-year-old is one of few Vietnamese to make a commercial success of art shows.
Tuan said the that when construction is done imminently, Non La – referring to the conical hat made of palm leaf – will have a giant conical-hat-shaped roof and thatched ticket booths.
Its 250 seats will be made of bamboo and rattan, "to bring a Vietnamese atmosphere for audiences."
A food corner on the first floor will serve tourists cuisine from the north, south and central regions before the show begins.
The regular menu will have phở and gỏi cuốn – which CNN has dubbed two of the world's 50 most delicious foods.
Every 50-minute show, titled Ngoc Viet (Vietnamese pearl), will feature various forms of traditional music, including the Hue royal music, gongs from the Central Highlands, đàn đá (a lithopone, an ancient musical instrument comprising 11 slabs of stone), and lục cúng hoa đăng (a dance with lotus-shaped lanterns, adapted from Buddhism).
Brochures for the music program will be in eight languages – including Chinese, Thai, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
Tuan has for long been derided for his ambition to develop a traditional art and music show for tourists after the failure of many previous attempts by others in recent years.
La Quoc Khanh, deputy director of the city's Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, admitted that like other major cities in Viet Nam, Sai Gon too had few music shows for tourists, with most, including the recent Hon Viet (Soul of Viet Nam) show, not lasting for more than half a year.
"Most of the shows are boring and not well-prepared," he said at a press conference last December to launch the city's 2nd 100 Excitements Campaign, explaining why they were short-lived.
Tuan began his career in art with the Nu Cuoi Puppet Theater more than 30 years ago and toured remote areas around the country for shows since "every child has the right to be entertained." He plans to make a success for the theater, mainly because "Viet Nam's water puppet itself is so artistic, unique and incomparable with anything else in the world."
Tuan, who has traveled to several Asian countries with diverse cultures and developed tourism industries – such as Thailand, Japan and Korea – said most Vietnamese organizers do not understand what foreign tourists want when they visit the country.
Since most visit for just a few days, they do not either need luxurious spas and bars nor do they have time to travel from place to place to explore different aspects of Vietnamese culture.
"They want to have a glimpse of the culture, including cuisine and arts, in a few hours in a comfortable, intelligent manner," he said.
After watching a water puppet show at the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater located near the palace's main gate on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, tourists can explore Viet Nam's diverse cultures from north to south and then have dinner on the first floor before going back to their hotels.
"After the show, those who are really interested in what the theater offers will do further research on their own from books or online or return to the country for deeper understanding."
Another reason all the shows did not last long, according to Tuan and Le Hong Trieu, 52, the Labor Cultural Palace's director, was the lack of enthusiasm among the local government and the organizers themselves.
"Most previous projects were state-run, and everyone from the chiefs to the staff were not professional or really got into what they were promoting," Tuan said.
"For, even if they failed, they got their salary. …This explains why Viet Nam's entertainment industry and tourism remain 20 years behind even the neighboring country of Cambodia."
Ngoc Viet will feature 32 of Viet Nam's most talented artists in various genres of music, including đàn tranh (16-chord zither) artist Tuyet Mai and drummers Duc Trung and Duc Dung from the band Phu Dong.

A Guide to Buying your Home
In December 2014, the Real Estate Institute of Queensland issued the Tenth Edition of Contracts for Houses and Residential Land.
Below are some of the important items you should know before signing your contract.
Cooling off Period
Under the terms of the contract, a Buyer has 5 business days from receipt of the duly signed and dated contract to terminate the contract should you have a change of mind. There is a 0.25% penalty that may be imposed by the Seller should you terminate the contract under this condition. Talk to us before terminating your contract for advice.
We suggest that you know exactly what your limitations are with your finances. Therefore we strongly recommend you talk to your financier to determine just how much money you can borrow prior to signing a contract.
Building and Pest Inspections
A Building and Pest Inspection Report can help you identify any structural faults or defects in the property that were not apparent from a visual inspection. If your contract is subject to satisfactory Building and Pest Inspection reports, you can terminate the contract before the Building and Pest Inspection date if there are problems with the reports you receive.
Recent changes to the standard REIQ contracts require you to notify the Seller if you are satisfied with the inspections or if you intend to terminate the contract by 5pm on the inspection date or the Seller will be able to terminate the contract.
Previous versions of the standard REIQ contracts allow the Seller to deem the reports you have obtained to be satisfactory if you do not notify the Seller of your intentions before 5pm on the inspection date.
Remember to ensure that any building and/or pest inspector you engage holds the appropriate licenses and that you obtain a copy of the written report.
The current version of the REIQ contract doesn't make provision to terminate the contract if the improvements have not been properly approved by the Local Council or the property floods. If a search of Council records reveals that the property is subject to flooding or an improvement did not receive Council approval i.e. dwelling (slab, plumbing, frame, final), pergola, carport, pool or pool fencing, then you must proceed with the contract. A special condition may be inserted in the contract, prior to signing, making it subject to satisfactory search results.
The Law deems that the property is owned by you as at the date of the contract, being the legal point of sale therefore if any damage occurs to the property, you may be responsible for the damage unless it can be shown that the damage was as a result of willful neglect or destruction by the Seller. If you have not obtained insurance, the property burns down and the seller does not have insurance, you will have to proceed with the contract regardless.
As the property is at your risk from the date of the contract we therefore urge you to immediately arrange insurance cover over the property to protect yourself in the case of damage or destruction to the property and its fixtures. If you need any assistance in this regard please do not hesitate and seek our advice. A Certificate of Insurance noting a fully paid premium and your financier's name as First Mortgagee will be required prior to them releasing any finance to you.
Please contact our Property Team to discuss your requirements or to review your contract prior to you signing.
