Knowle West residents are being invited to join a hunt to discover the wilder side to their local area – with a new community cinema project.
Run by Compass Presents – experts in ‘expanded cinema’ – the South Bristol event will be encouraging people to discover new wild places locally through a series of challenges – connected to New Zealand’s comedy adventure film Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
There are seven challenges which participants have a week to complete – each designed to get you exploring your neighbourhood. They can be incorporated into a person’s daily exercise and have been designed with COVID safety in mind.
They will promote the event’s wider themes of engaging with nature, personal wellbeing through exercise – and developing a new appreciation of local community places.
The first 25 people to complete the challenges will win a special ‘watch along’ box full of themed goodies and prizes.
Those taking part are then invited to view the film on 10 April at 7pm – separately but together.
Grassroots community group helped to create the project
Claudia Collins from Knowle West is one of the community members who has been helping to create the event.
She says: “It’s such a cool project to be part of, we are learning so many new skills…
“As well as that we have made new friends and have got to showcase our creativity and some of the amazing green spaces in South Bristol.
“The expanded watch along event feels perfect to celebrate coming out of lockdown safely and being let back out into the wild.”
Director of Compass Presents, Tara Sachdeva says: “…It’s been a pleasure to work with local people to amplify the personality of South Bristol through this film event.
“Our work with the group – to develop skills to move further into the creative industries, and continue to bring culture to their community – will continue beyond the project in their safe hands. They should be very proud of their achievements!”
The challenges will run from 3-10 April with the film screening on Saturday 10 April at 7pm.

Any writers serious about their craft would’ve heard the saying, SHOW NOT TELL. Ignore it at your peril!
The difference between TELLING and SHOWING is obvious when you know what to look for. Author, Shirley Jump explains it well….
Telling is abstract, passive and less involving of the reader. It slows down your pacing, takes away your action and pulls your reader out of your story. Showing, however, is active and concrete; creating mental images that brings your story — and your characters — to life. When you hear about writing that is vivid, evocative and strong, chances are there’s plenty of showing in it. Showing is interactive and encourages the reader to participate in the reading experience by drawing her own conclusions. (Show not Tell: What the heck is that anyway?)
BUT, as with all rules there are exceptions… and this is where writers can come unstuck (me for example), because there are times when you do need to TELL rather than SHOW.
In his Writer’s Yearbook 2003 article, Exception to the Rule, James Scott Bell says, “Sometimes a writer tells as a shortcut, to move quickly to the meaty part of the story or scene. Showing is essentially about making scenes vivid. If you try to do it constantly, the parts that are supposed to stand out won’t, and your readers will get exhausted.”
I recently read a detective story that wallowed in the showing of character viewpoints, sensory environment and so forth in all the wrong places – like when the murderer creeps through the dark alley closer towards his prey, and takes two pages to do it (okay, I made up that scenario, but you get the picture).
Knowing when to move your story along at a faster pace is a learned thing – and I don’t mind admitting I’m still learning after writing millions of words over the past 12 years. The experience could be likened to writing the WRITER’S COPY and then editing until you have the READER’S COPY.
Or as author (and damn, fine editor) Penni Russon said to me recently, ‘Slash and Burn, Baby! Slash and Burn!’
The tricky bit is knowing how much to cut out from a manuscript and not lose your writing style; and how much to tell and not show; or even worse, when to not EXPLAIN too much! After all, the reader doesn’t need to be told everything, he/she appreciates it when they can work it out for themselves.
I recently came across another excellent article you’ll appreciate, I’m sure. It’s called Show and Tell written by YA author, Danyelle Leafty on Query Tracker.com . Check it out.
Enjoy writing! And keep SLASHING AND BURNING, BABY!
5 thoughts on “Show not Tell … but does that mean all the time?”
Tee, totally agree! If only that ball would stop dropping! But I guess, that’s a quarter of the fun. 🙂 Have fun with your edit. x
Sheryl, great post and great timing,
I am busy with edits at the moment and your post reminded me that its all about the right balance. For anything to do with editing I think it all ends up at the altar of the balance god. We can’t always show, we can’t always foreshadow, nor can we constantly keep sentences short for tensions sake alone.
I think when we finally learn how to balance everything without dropping a single ball, then it’ll all be perfect… lol!
Thank you, Dee and Angela. Funny about the knife business – must’ve been all that talk of slashing and burning! 😉 Glad to see it’s not just me facing the dilemmas of SHOW NOT TELL! Happy writing to you both.
Thanks for this, Sheryl. There are definitely times when I want/need to move the story along – especially when there are word limits to work within.
Slash and burn – hmmm, a knife accident, Sheryl? Be careful with matches now.
Great post, Sheryl,
‘Showing’ and ‘Telling’ is definitely one of those dilemmas for writers, and you have some wise words for us.
But you didn’t need to take Penni Russon’s ‘Slash and Burn’ so literally. Leave the knives alone lol.
Hope your thumb makes a speedy recovery from that nasty knife:)

- Varan said, "You grasp a little of what I am speaking of. Imagine each person in this room carrying secrets within themselves like yours. life is an abominable burden. People would rather someone else carry their rood for them than walk with their eyes open."
- My story is about as unique as breathing in BlueWorld. We all have gone through some terrible, life-confidence eroding times. But life is series of forks in the road that make us decide between right and left, good and bad. While it was horrible that Nina died tragically - not that there is any other way to die - the positive impact that she had on my life and my heart was well worth the ache.

- But can he leave behind his life of crime, or will he be sucked back into the corrupting parisian underworld?
- It is not a secret, even to the Islamists, that there is no possibility of an Iranian-style "hard ideological state" in the Middle East. But a "soft ideological state" that regulates social and cultural space in accordance with an Islamic-conservative way of life through "democratic mechanisms" is possible. And this is the question we have to tackle.

- 'Fiddle-de-dee. I can already tell she's talking nonsense. What can possibly threaten all life that we would not already know about?' argued Im.
- I kept to the inside of Johna’s cottage, avoiding the outside world. Mark told Johna the troops were still under orders to watch for me and while they didn’t advertise it, they were all anxious to catch me. My master grew angrier by the day, though recently there had been rumors of a mistress. I hoped this new woman would take his mind off of me. Once he stopped caring about me, I might be able to live a real life.
- "No offense taken," Jack says, standing beside Emma, a hand in hers. "Honestly, I am just happy to be here with Emma. I do not care if my father rots forever in his little dream world.

The Lyrian delegation has been very impressed with your efforts to raise the vibration of your fellow primates and sustain the high frequency of your work. We understand it has been very difficult over the last five hundred years for many of the peoples of Earth. There has been a dark energy, a shadow of greed and fear. This low vibration has spread like a disease throughout earth-consciousness, and has caused great illness and suffering for many. Too many of the ceremonies, and ways of life that were a celebration of this high vibration have been forgotten, lost, or disregarded. People like you, however, have been working hard to continue these ceremonies, to recognize their importance in sustaining these high vibrational frequencies."
- He can make over the whole capital of his life to the Hereafter in this way.
- One head perked up ever so slightly as if the man might say something. Had he been able to develop a coherent thought, he might have argued that the women in this neighborhood used worse language than any hard-drinking working man, and children rarely came to Drunken Scum Street. Well, maybe it was a little more than rarely, but still. Okay, sometimes kids came to buy beer or smoke-weed for lazy parents or for themselves to use or trade, but those children were already so corrupted by woeful home lives that a few rude words in the air would hardly affect them. Or at least the drunk could have argued in that manner.
- "He bailed me up in a corridor and confessed that he was hopelessly in love with Adrienne and he didn’t think he could live without her. He wanted my advice on whether he should break the engagement and slink back to Toqueia or marry Adelais and live out his life in wretched misery."
- Fear pressed on my mind and made it hard to think, made it hard to remember he was here to talk, not hurt me. This demon, this vampire, who right now thirsted for my blood, wanted to talk. I'd left him here for half the night, hungry. He'd just sucked the life out of a Cleric, but it didn't seem to have been enough. She had been a small thing. But if I attacked it would be fatal, for he would succumb to his baser instinct.

- History, that is, the unconscious, general, hive life of mankind, uses every moment of the life of kings as a tool for its own purposes.
- I snorted at the stupid idea of him giving his life for mine. As if I could live without him after he'd gone and made me all devoted and loyal. We would leave together or not at all. I was ready to die here, with him. They would have to kill me, for I would never stop trying to kill them if Breandan died.
- "One of the disadvantages of levelling is self-incrimination," said Guy delicately. "Hence the Fifth Amendment to your Constitution. If I tell you things, you tell Inspector What's-his-name and he tells some Interpol mate at New Scotland Yard, and so on.

- Ten years had made a huge difference in Dave’s life and thoughts. No longer was he the single-minded, tunnel vision hoops junkie.

- "Don’t we find our strength from the people we love?" she asked, looking up at him, her eyes imploring. "If we’re alone, what is the point in having strength for ourselves? If our lives are devoid of love, what’s the point in continuing on?"
- She turns off the main road and is halfway down the hill to the river when she suddenly wonders where her radio is. Oh God, not again, she thinks. She slows down and pulls over carefully onto the ragged grass on the side of the road. Her radio is supposed to be safely rolled up in her towel, on the seat beside her, but she can’t remember actually putting it there. She quickly unwraps the towel and is relieved to find her precious radio tucked away inside it. ‘Thank God for that,’ she says, out loud. She wonders if she’s going to spend the rest of her life worrying that she’s left something on the roof of a car.
- She hurt from his very touch, from that strong body holding her close. How often she had wanted to be gathered again in his arms, to be kissed and touched by him.

She acknowledged too, that because it was Damien’s, she would love it, as he had shown her that she was all too susceptible to it.
- Impatience and dread tugged at him. He could do nothing until someone made a move and by then it might be too late. life had a way of dropping a struggle on you from nowhere. Perhaps his magic sight would give him a warning. Or it might give him all the more time to see and fear the inevitable.

- Lunch finished, he travelled on. The light of the Smug slowly decreased until the Mist became dark and it was impossible to see. When this happened Ambrosius lay down without attempting to make a shelter and shivered into a fretful sleep that was haunted by his dead past life in the treetops. When he woke up he felt more tired than ever, but he forced himself to walk on once more. Late in the afternoon he came to another patch of Hooktrees. They came as quite a surprise, looming out of the mist as they did, all but their great buttresses invisible in the fug.
- Malawi has a low life expectancy and high infant mortality. There is a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, which is a drain on the labor force and government expenditures. There is a diverse population of native peoples, Asians and Europeans, with several languages spoken and an array of religious beliefs. Although there was tribal conflict in the past, by 2008 it had diminished considerably and the concept of a Malawian nationality had begun to form. Malawi has a culture combining native and colonial aspects, including sports, art, dance and music.
- Her own room stripped; her personal things stolen! Somehow this empty, echoing chamber hit her as no other room had done.

- "A return to normalcy" (i.e. a return to the way of life before World War I) was United States presidential candidate Warren G. Harding’s campaign promise in the election of 1920. Although detractors believed that the word was a neologism as well as a malapropism coined by Harding (as opposed to the more accepted term normality), there was contemporary discussion and evidence found that normalcy had been listed in dictionaries as far back as 1857.
- "You can get to know something, you can ask for something. See how I managed from my first promotion." (Berg measured his life not by years but by promotions.) "My comrades are still nobodies, while I am only waiting for a vacancy to command a regiment, and have the happiness to be your husband." (He rose and kissed Vera's hand, and on the way to her straightened out a turned-up corner of the carpet.) "And how have I obtained all this? Chiefly by knowing how to choose my aquaintances. It goes without saying that one must be conscientious and methodical."
- "I tanned the skins myself," Taf said with obvious pride. "Burgo Kaeina taught me how many cycles ago, but some of the powders are difficult to find anywhere but the warehouses of Saljid, and the spotted rat only lives on the Castle Isles, so it takes a long time to make a rug so big."
- Talk about coming out of my shell via a nuclear blast! Students I have never met before spoke to me like they had known me forever. It felt like everyone on campus suddenly knew me by name. By lunch time I had said "hey" or "hi" a thousand times. They might know my name now, but it would take the rest of my life to learn all of theirs. I hoped no one was holding their breath while they waited for me to accomplish that crazy unbelievable feat because it would likely never happen.
- Meeting the children's new teacher had returned the ache in his hearts and resurfaced memories of the times when he used to travel though time and space with his ship, the blue police box, he called a TARDIS. His precious TARDIS. No, he had decided to leave that life behind and he had built a good life here, with Lynne, Sarah Adrian and the dog, Laika. They are happy and that made him happy too.

- "No. The thought of living my life without the one person I devoted it to." The Knight gave a weak smile, followed by a hard sigh. "Or forcing them to live without me. The kind of life I endured, I didn't want to ever risk that. If something were to happen to me on the battlefield…what if Savados' spell didn't work? Or there was no one to cast it? All too many variables I couldn't get around to be close to someone."
- Twenty-two years separated the astonishing visions she was witnessing below and the quiet, somnolent reality of her life with her teenaged daughter. So much had to have happened since the Saeire Insu won this battle—so many new stories, so many new soul traces. So many new souls! The stories from this single awesome day would’ve been told and retold and retold, would’ve turned into legends. Those who had died in this battle—how many were there? How dear a price was paid? How were the fallen remembered? Honored? How had it all started from here?
- Personally if i found some low life scum selling drugs to my kids i would not stop at giving them a kicking.

- "When my father took over the Horsham property, he, at my request, made a careful examination of the attic, which had been always locked up. We found the brass box there, although its contents had been destroyed. On the inside of the cover was a paper label, with the initials of K. K. K. repeated upon it, and 'Letters, memoranda, receipts, and a register' written beneath. These, we presume, indicated the nature of the papers which had been destroyed by Colonel Openshaw. For the rest, there was nothing of much importance in the attic save a great many scattered papers and note-books bearing upon my uncle's life in America. Some of them were of the war time and showed that he had done his duty well and had borne the repute of a brave soldier. Others were of a date during the reconstruction of the Southern states, and were mostly concerned with politics, for he had evidently taken a strong part in opposing the carpet-bag politicians who had been sent down from the North.
- A Shepherd, keeping watch over his sheep near the shore, saw the Sea very calm and smooth, and longed to make a voyage with a view to commerce. He sold all his flock, invested it in a cargo of dates, and set sail. But a very great tempest came on, and the ship being in danger of sinking, he threw all his merchandise overboard, and barely escaped with his life in the empty ship. Not long afterwards when someone passed by and observed the unruffled calm of the Sea, he interrupted him and said, "It is again in want of dates, and therefore looks quiet."
- "You need to understand what you’re asking, Serenity. You need to forget whatever romantic notions you have about what I am and experience the cold, hard truth. I’ll show you the truth about how vampire lives and you’ll never want to be like me."

- The organic geochemistry tells us what organic molecules are present in the water, and these can be indicative of life and what it’s doing now. The hydrochemistry tells us about the physical and chemical conditions of the lake water; whether it’s oxic or anoxic.
- This area is being given new life - the emphasis is still on creating a tapestry of color in the cottage garden style.
- It is as though the more matter is refined and the more we become distanced from our material existences, the closer we draw to the world of the spirit, the world of life, and the world of consciousness; and the more intensely the heat of the spirit and the light of life are manifested.
- Then again, I was using my life savings to keep him safe, so I was already betting on him being the real deal. I flipped the page of my book distractedly but couldn’t help but continuously peek up at Andrew.
- "At first, I thought she would express ignorance to the contrary, as she came close to doing the first time I met her. This time, she said that it was night, we were alone, and we should be at peace. She explained it as light was a time for life while night was peace from life. Then she asked me about my wife." Gallant stopped, a momentary look of confusion intermixed with unfortunate understanding.
- Feeling so safe, I started to worry that my brother might end up being locked inside 'psychotic-Ember-world’ forever. I had to bite down on my lower lip to keep from crying. He deserves to have a life of his own. That’s what I’ve always felt guilty about. Suddenly, here I am struggling with holding him as my life-time mental hostage because I feel more secure than I’ve ever felt. I shoved that thought aside fast, feeling like I was going to lose it.

- Ght about laying here by herself with Rakuen. Naomi was right. He was alive and they were together again. But why did he do this? He had planned this, there was no way around it. He had wanted this to happen. He risked both their lives to do this, to make himself a daywalker. But why? What would drive him to such extremes? She had barely said more than one word to him when he surprised her. He must have known. If he’d given her time to process what was going on, even he wouldn’t have been able to get close enough to bite without Suzana figuring out what was going on. If he had asked her to do this for him, she would have refused. He knew that. She wasn’t mad at him. She just didn’t understand why.
- "By doing this, denying me the right to see her, you are naming her a prisoner or as one of your faction. If she swears fealty to Lochlann she will be named a rebel. She has already had a hard life at the hands of her mother. Will you truly subject her to a lifetime of being shunned by the majority of her true kind too?"
- "Thank you," the girl replied as she met Alex’s gaze. She allowed her stare to linger for a moment before she continued, "I’m people watching here. It is something I do, I suppose. I try and look at people and imagine what their lives must be like. Like, what they do when they get home, or what they are thinking at that moment. Sounds stupid, I know. I do it a lot."
- Fin in fin two dolphins fled through the dark. They passed through an obliterated doorway, down a steep, lightless shaft, then through a series of endless tunnels. The ghostly white dolphin led the way. It had haunted these subterranean corridors in a former life and would never forget the design of their twists and turns.
- But Sayana had proven herself able to fulfil that role, despite her slight appearance. Again he wondered what motivated her to risk her life for people she hardly knew. Near the wound, he could make out the marks of what appeared to be elaborate tattoos on her chest and shoulders. It was interesting, but hardly relevant at the moment.

On 16 November 2009, a panel of reviewers at the Congregation for the Causes of Saints voted unanimously that Pope John Paul II had lived a life of virtue.

Chicago rapper Vic Mensa performed at the March for Our Lives rally over the weekend to lend his support for controlling gun owners in America, despite the fact that he doesn’t follow the laws himself.
Mensa, whose real name is Victor Kwesi Mensah, dedicated his performance at the rally to “Stephon Clark, Decynthia Clemments, and all the unarmed black men and women killed by police weapons.”
“Until all of us are free, none of us will be free,” he said.
Vic performed his “oppression-opposing” ballad “Now We Could Be Free,” which centers on corruption, government oppression, hate groups and other social justice issues. The video for the song, produced by Jay Z’s Roc Nation, transposes footage of the clash in Charlottesville with the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
A sample of the lyrics, according to Genius:
You fools, saying “all lives matter”
But it’s black lives you refuse include
Blocked from the polls, locked in the hood
Trying to stop you from voting and stop you from growing
And cops keep blowing and blowing
Keep black people rocking the cotton they don’t want you to own
Ironically, Mensa is a gun owner, just not a very responsible one.
Last March, Mensa was pulled over for running a stop light and having tinted windows in Beverly Hills, and he told cops he had a concealed weapon and a concealed gun permit, according to TMZ.
The problem is, the loaded gun was reportedly unregistered, and his permit was for a different state.
Police arrested Mensa and charged him with carrying a concealed firearm and carrying an unregistered, loaded firearm. He agreed to a plea agreement with prosecutors that allowed him to pay a $500 fine and serve two years of probation for the carrying a concealed firearm charge in exchange for dropping the second count.
Mensa spoke out about gun control last fall, alleging gun owners who defend their Second Amendment rights are “stupid as f**k,” Hot New Hip Hop reports.
And like many at the March for Our Lives rally, Mensa villainized House Republicans and the NRA, alleging the issue boils down to a choice to outlaw certain guns or “sacrifice your family and friends to mass murder.”
“You’re not going to fight off a tyrannical government with an AR-15 or an M16, so give it up,” he said, adding that the constitutional right to bear arms doesn’t cover those guns because they did not exist when the document was crafted nearly 230 years ago.
“It’s not a constitutional right,” he said.

One of the most crucial and pressing issues related to children in the Philippines is the issue of children in armed conflict. Children in situations of armed conflict (CSAC), including Children Involvement in Armed Conflict (CIAC), are among the most vulnerable groups of children, often falling victim or becoming targets for harm and violence.
Children involved in armed conflict are still very much prevalent in the Philippines especially in war-prone and war-torn areas of SOCCSKSARGEN and Mindanao. SOCCSKSARGEN is an administrative region of the Philippines located in South-Central Mindanao. It stands for the region’s four provinces and two cities, namely, South Cotabato, Cotabato City, Cotabato Province, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, and General Santos City.
Likewise, children’s involvement and their precarious situation in armed conflict are also prevailing in certain areas of Luzon and the Visayas where intensified counter-insurgency operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) against the New Peoples’ Army (NPA) of the Community Party of the Philippines (CPP) are on-going. Just to note, the CPP is the longest-running insurgent group in the world thus far. It has waged a “protracted-war” or “armed struggle” for more than 50 years since its founding in 1969.
However, its decriers typify its “protracted-war” as lawlessness and violence. Its military arm is the New People’s Army (NPA), and its political arm is the National Democratic Front (NDF). The CPP-NDF-NPA since the beginning has been keen on overthrowing the government of the Philippines but had never politically or militarily for that matter controlled any province or even a single city in its 52 years of existence. Their military bases are in the forests and mountains across the country.
Children in armed conflict situations experience various forms of violations and abuse, which include: (a) becoming internally displaced persons in their own country; (b) being killed and maimed in crossfires, which include targeted shootings, crossfire, airstrikes, shelling, indiscriminate attacks, summary executions, unexploded ordnance, and/or mistreatment during detention; (c) the use of schools especially those located in interior areas as military camps which result in harassment of teachers and students (d) abduction; (e) rape and other gender-based violence; (f) the denial of humanitarian services in remote areas controlled by non-state armed groups; and (g) the precarious and continuous recruitment as soldiers/combatants by various insurgent and terrorist groups in the country.
Article 38/3 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), states parties are prohibited from recruiting any person who has not attained the age of 15 years into the armed forces. Likewise, even in recruiting among those persons who have attained the age of 15 years but who have not attained the age of 18 years, states and non-state armed groups shall endeavour to give priority to those who are oldest.
The Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict sets 18 as the minimum age for direct participation in hostilities, for recruitment into armed groups, and compulsory recruitment by governments.
Nevertheless, the recruitment of children as combatants by non-state armed groups in the Philippines continues despite the prohibitions set by the UNCRC and its Optional Protocols.
This has been evidenced by the recent reports and statements of UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Virginia Gamba, and UN Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, Maria Grazia Giammarinaro during the 44th UN Human Rights Council Session, who both expressed and drew attention to the situation of children in the Philippines being recruited for armed combat.
UN Special Representative Gamba outlined the challenges in ending and preventing grave violations against children including their recruitment and use; killing and maiming; abduction; rape and sexual violence, while UN Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, Giammarinaro, highlighted how conflict and post-conflict settings heighten the vulnerability of children to being trafficked to serve as soldiers, servants, or sexual slaves.
On 6 July 2020, the Philippine Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Ambassador Evan P Garcia, conveyed the Philippines’ full support to the UN’s experts work and urged them to continue paying close attention to the “modus operandi” through which the recruitment of child soldiers is carried out in different settings in the Philippines.
Garcia encouraged the UN experts to further intensify their work in the area of combating the recruitment of child soldiers in the Philippines. He highlighted the employment by certain terrorist organisations and armed non-state actors like the CPP-NDF-NPA, which according to him, exploited the cover of charitable schools and school-based youth organisations, to train child combatants for their terroristic activities, and insidiously recruit child combatants, taking them away from the safety of their families, schools, and communities.
He said, “the terrorist group abuses the cover of ‘human rights defender’ to escape detection, project legitimacy, solicit funds from unwitting foreign donors, and evade accountability while victimising thousands of vulnerable children, especially those from indigenous communities.”
Hence, the recruitment of child soldiers by non-state armed groups is still a persistent and prevailing problem in the Philippines.
Recruitment And Repercussions
The recruitment of children as combatants in the Philippines can be attributed to several factors including: (a) joining the ranks because of psychological reasons like thrill and excitement; (b) social tension like peer pressure; (c) because of propaganda of some non-state actors; and (d) forced recruitment or abduction.
Most often than not, non-state armed groups target the emotional, psychological, mental, or physical vulnerabilities of children, as well as the situations in their families and communities.
These young combatants participate in all aspects of contemporary warfare. They wield arms/weapons on the front lines of combat, serve as human mine detectors; participate in suicide missions; carry supplies; act as spies, messenger decoys, or lookouts; courier or guards; undergo training, drill, or other preparations; logistics and support functions; portering, cooking and domestic labour. Some of them, especially girls/young women are subjected to rape, and various forms of sexual slavery, and even forced marriage.
Due to the involvement of these children in conflict, some if not many of them, generally end up with physical disabilities, while others die in military encounters and confrontations. Many of them suffer mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion. This is because their bodies cannot accommodate or bear the load of activities needed to fulfil the requisites and regiment of military/combat training.
Their involvement in armed conflict as child soldiers not only separates them from their families and makes their lives miserable, but most importantly, traumatises them (i.e. mental disturbance and morbidity), makes them uneducated and illiterate, instils extreme fear in them, and fundamentally destroys their bright futures.
Indeed, one of the alarming trends relating to children in armed conflict, and children in the Philippines in general, is the recruitment and existence of child combatants. These child soldiers are between 10 and 18 years old. They wear combat uniforms and carry weapons, but by whatever standard, they are still children. For what it may seem, they are being used to play war games by certain insurgent and terrorist elements of Philippine society instead of being cared for in the comforts of their homes, surrounded by their families, and communities. Hence, these child soldiers need the utmost protection and attention of the Philippine government.
In this regard, laws, programs, and advocacies pertinent to the issue of child soldiers, and their meaningful implementation should be intensified and given due priority, attention, and resources. For instance, the passage into law and the meaningful implementation of the Republic Act 11188, or the “Special Protection of Children in Situations of Armed Conflict Act,” signed on 10 January 2019, is thus far a welcomed development. The law is an important measure toward improving the protection of children and ensuring accountability for grave violations.
The law declares children as “zones of peace,” aimed at protecting children in situations of armed conflict from all forms of abuse and violence and prosecute persons or groups violating the measure. The new law is part of the Philippines’ compliance with international obligations including the UN CRC, particularly the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention Against Torture, and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and various UN Security Council resolutions related to children affected by armed conflict.
Likewise, it is also crucial that pertinent interventions and measures be put in place and into action to address the security and well-being of children involved in armed conflict. These child combatants must be disarmed, demobilised, and socially reintegrated back into their respective communities, families, and civilian life.
When demobilised and disarmed, they should be provided with pertinent and necessary socio-economic and psycho-social interventions and measures to address their security and well-being needs, to help them cope up with life outside of soldiering, and to help them assimilate once again into normal civilian life.
Examples of interventions are education and vocational training, the provision of psychosocial support like peer-to-peer support, community-based support, and psychosocial counselling. A protective environment for demobilised child soldiers must be ensured as well to prevent them from being re-recruited and to have a more stable life.
Child soldiering regardless of reasons and justification, and whether voluntarily or involuntarily, is at the end of the day, without doubt, a serious offense against children and a grave abuse of human rights. Hence, the Philippine government must continue to put forward efforts in ending and preventing the engagement of children in warfare and their recruitment at all cost and by all means.

Who has the best armoured fighting vehicle?
One of the best features in the latest issue of Land Warfare International looks at the new generation of armoured fighting vehicles that are entering the inventories of Europe’s armies.
With a raft of new types and models entering service or under construction, we thought it would be interesting to put up a comparison the base models.
Although a vehicle’s capability will be defined by the types of systems that are fitted, it is still interesting to view the main hull and machinery characteristics of these new products.
So to help with this, we got our design team to throw together this handy reference chart (click to enlarge), outlining the basic statistics for each of the latest tracked and wheeled designs that are available.
The German Army is currently converting from the 45-year old Marder IFV to the new Puma IFV, which the manufacturer describes as the ‘most powerful IFV worldwide’.
In German service, the Puma will work alongside the 8×8 Boxer multi-role armoured vehicle, which is claimed to have the highest protection level of any vehicle in its class.
The company-funded VBCI-2 was only just unveiled by Nexter in September 2015 and that vehicle features a new all-welded aluminium hull design with a higher roof line to provide greater internal volume.
The UK’s renewal of its armoured vehicle fleet centres on the GDLS-UK Ajax tracked reconnaissance vehicle, the only new armoured vehicle in development or production for the British Army.
The General Dynamics LAV design also continues to prove popular and the latest iteration, the Piranha 5, has been chosen to replace the Danish Army’s tracked M113.
What do you think of the latest industrial offerings from Europe? Have European armies made the right choices for armour? Are there any others that should be included here? Be sure to leave your comments below.
Meanwhile, all the latest news about these vehicles and their subsystems will emerge next week at Eurosatory in Paris so be sure to keep tabs on our show news.

Passports: Which country has the most expensive travel document in the world
The price of a British passport is set to increase by £12.50 if purchasing it by post.
Even online applications are set to increase by £3, but children’s passports are seeing the worst price hike of 30 per cent from £46 to £58.80 under a new proposed scheme by the Home Office.
However whilst it currently costs £72.50 for adults, this is still much cheaper than many other passports in the world.
The most expensive passport in the world has since been revealed.
Australia has the most expensive passport compared to other countries
Australia has the most expensive passport compared to other countries, according to The New Daily.
For a ten year travel-document, it costs a whopping $282 (£159), after increasing by $5 this year.
Following closely behind was Turkey, whose passports cost 764 Turkish Lira (£145).
They are all only beaten, according to the newspaper, by a Syrian passport for those living outside the country and purchasing the document at an overseas consulate which costs as much as £282.
A survey by GoEuro in 2015 found other expensive passports included Switzerland (£112) and Mexico (£103).
Passports: Australia has the most expensive passport, costing a whopping £159
Bizarrely, the UAE has the cheapest passport, costing just £9.
The Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) has asked the government to freeze the price hikes of Australian passports which have seen an increase of 41 per cent since 2008.
Dean Long from AFTA told The New Daily: “Of our major trading partners, Australia was the only country that increased the cost of our passports this year.”
He stated that only Australia used it to increase revenue whilst other countries such as New Zealand and Canada used passport charges as a way of “cost recovery”.
Brandon Lewis: New passports will be most advanced in the world
Passport: Turkey follows in second place, costing £145 for a travel document
The most powerful passport in the world has also been revealed, with Germany knocking Singapore from the top spot for 2018.
Due to changes to the visa application for Belarus, Germany can now travel to 177 countries, up from 176 last year, without the need to purchase a visa beforehand.
Singapore came a close second, with 176 countries, whilst the UK came in at third with 175 countries.
It was joined by Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Japan and Norway.

Deepika Padukone has talked about mental health several times. The actress, who has battled depression and came out victorious, even started an NGO for the same cause. Recently, she reacted to a statement made by Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson about mental health. The Rock opened up about depression in an interview where he stated that he didn't know what mental health was. He said that he just knew that he didn't want to go through it. The Jumanji actor said that he left school, didn't appear for the midterms, just left. On the pivot podcast, Dwayne said, "But the interesting thing, at that time, is I just didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know what mental health was. I didn’t know what depression was. I just knew I didn’t want to be there, wasn’t going to any of the team meetings, wasn’t participating in anything."
Deepika shared the video on her Instagram and captioned it, "Mental health matters." In the post, the actress also tagged her NGO, The Live Love Laugh Foundation. Take a look.
Meanwhile, back in 2015, Deepika extensively talked about her battle with depression with NDTV. She had said that one day she woke up and felt empty and directionless. She added that she would end up crying at any moment. She said, "I woke up like feeling directionless, I didn't know where to go, I didn't know what to do."
On the work front, Deepika was last seen in Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan.

Ariana Grande has seemingly adopted Mac Miller's dog Myron.
When they were together, Ariana Grande and Mac Miller appeared to be the perfect couple. It was revealed near the end of their relationship that they hid their issues in the shadows after Grande said their pairing became toxic. The two clearly loved each other until the end though. As she grieves Mac's passing, Ariana has taken a step away from the spotlight, preferring to deal with her loss in private. She's been keeping her fans updated though, making sure that nobody worries about her. This week, the singer posted a video of herself with Mac's dog Myron, who she appears to have adopted.
Reports are conflicting as to when Ari adopted the pitbull as some sources say she has been taking care of Myron since their breakup while others write that this is a more recent thing. Regardless of when she starting caring for the loving pooch, you can see there's a lot of love between her and the animal. Considering Myron used to belong to her ex-boyfriend, he serves as a nice reminder of the good times they had together as she remembers Mac in the best light.
Grande had confirmed her split with Miller after it had been rumored for a few days, writing on her Instagram story that she couldn't wait to "know and support" him forever.

Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 overturned to no-contest
The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) overturned the result of the July 29 fight Wednesday to a no-contest, CSAC executive officer Andy Foster told MMA Fighting. The decision comes one day after the B sample from Jones’ failed drug test came back confirming that he had a steroid, Turinabol, in his system in-competition.
Jones won the UFC light heavyweight title by beating Cormier and now he no longer has that victory. But the UFC controls its title belts and the promotion has been on record saying it won’t strip the title until the completion of the adjudication process done by USADA, the UFC’s anti-doping partner.
If the belt does get stripped, it’s still unclear on whether Cormier gets it back or it becomes vacant.
A message left for comment to a UFC spokesperson was not answered immediately Wednesday.
Jones tested positive for Turinabol in an in-competition test taken after weigh-ins July 28. He beat Cormier a day later by third-round TKO, but that will now no longer appear on either man’s official record.
Jones’ team has denied that Jones took any prohibited substance intentionally, saying he must have taken a tainted supplement and that he would not ingest a steroid knowingly. Jones himself has not spoken publicly about the matter.
Last year, Jones tested positive for two banned substances, Letrozol and clomiphene, and was pulled out of a title fight with Cormier at UFC 200 three days prior to the event. Jones was suspended one year for the infraction.
Being that he is now a repeat offender, Jones is facing an even lengthier ban—up to four years by USADA. CSAC also has jurisdiction over the case, because the fight took place in Anaheim, Calif.

Round-breasted Ebony Ayes generally creates excitement, but in Nasty Blacks, she's an exception, not the rule. The sound echoes badly and the "plot"… well, there is no plot. But that would be fine if the characters didn't look like they were sleepwalking. The erotic parts are basic with very, very long drawn-out segments. Although Bill Blackman chooses different places to shoot the sex, it all washes out the same. Pretty packaging, but little else.

* Ecuador: President Rafael Correa of Ecuador said yesterday that the fate of U.S. intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden is up to Russia to decide even though Snowden has requested asylum in the South American country.
Update: In an interview with The Guardian on Monday, Correa claimed that Ecuador is not considering Snowden's asylum request unless he were to travel directly to that country. Correa also admitted that "it was a mistake on our part" to grant the former intel contractor a temporary travel pass that he used to move from Hong Kong to Russia.

(CBS News) – Mark Zuckerberg faced a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committees on Wednesday to testify on the use of and protection of Facebook user data in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. (all times Eastern)
3:57 p.m.: Sen. Lindsey Graham grilled Zuckerberg about a lack of competition and asked him if his company is a monopoly.
“It certainly doesn’t feel that way to me,” Zuckerberg responded.
Graham then asked if Facebook would welcome regulation.
“I think if it’s the right regulation, then yes,” Zuckerberg said.
3:47 p.m.: Zuckerberg tells Sen. Maria Cantwell he doesn’t know that his employees were involved with Cambridge Analytica’s work with the Trump campaign ahead of the 2016 election.
“Senator, I can certainly have my team get back to you on any specifics I don’t know sitting here today,” Zuckerberg said.
Cantwell also asked if European privacy regulations should be applied in the U.S.
“Senator, I think everyone in the world deserves good privacy protection,” Zuckerberg responded.
3:40 p.m.: Asked by Sen. Patrick Leahy about whether Facebook has received subpoenas from special counsel Robert Mueller’s office as part of his investigation into Russian meddling, Zuckerberg first said the company had been subpoenaed and employees — but not himself — had been interviewed by investigators. He then clarified that he was not aware of specific subpoenas but said Facebook is cooperating with the investigation, work he said is “confidential.”
3:17 p.m.: Wall Street appears to approve of Zuckerberg’s performance so far, with shares climbing nearly 5 percent on the day. Other tech stocks appear to be buoyed by lawmakers’ approach to Zuckerberg, with Twitter climbing more than 7 percent on the day.
Facebook didn’t notify FTC about data misuse
3:10 p.m.: Responding to Sen. Nelson, Zuckerberg admitted that no one at Facebook notified the FTC about the data misuse in 2015. Zuckerberg said his company “considered it a closed case” after he told Cambridge Analytica and GSR to delete the illicit data.
Zuckerberg also said his company didn’t consider notifying users of the misuse because they thought the issue had been handled. Zuckerberg can’t say how many other apps have misused data.
3:02 p.m.: In response to a question from Grassley about other possible misuses of user data by outside developers, Zuckerberg said the company was still investigating apps that accessed user data before the company restricted access in 2014.
Zuckerberg said apps that misused data would be banned from the platform, but couldn’t provide an exact number of apps that have been removed.
2:53: Zuckerberg is delivering his opening statement: “We face a number of important issues around privacy, safety and democracy, and you will rightfully have some hard questions for me to answer.”
“It is clear now that we didn’t do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well,” he continued. “That goes for fake news, for foreign interference and hate speech.”
2:47 p.m.: Sen. John Thune, R-South Dakota, said in his opening statement that Facebook’s “incredible reach” and what Zuckerberg described as a “breach of trust” is the cause for the hearing.
“The fact that those 87 million people may have technically consented to making their data available doesn’t make most people feel any better,” Thune said.
“In many ways you and the company you’ve created represent the American Dream,” he added. “At the same time, you have an obligation to ensure that dream doesn’t become a nightmare for the scores of people who use Facebook.”
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, cuts to the chase: “If you and other social media companies do not get your act in order, none of us are going to have any privacy anymore. That is what we are facing,”
“If Facebook and other online companies will not or cannot fix the privacy invasions, then we are going to have to — we the Congress,” Nelson said. “How can American consumers trust your company to be caretakers of their most personable and identifiable information?”

GBP/EUR Exchange Rate Targets 12-month Best as UK Vaccination Proves Almost World-beating
Underlying optimism over a global economic recovery and optimism that the vaccination will trigger a domestic rebound have continued to provide underlying Pound Sterling support.
The British Pound to Euro (GBP/EUR) exchange rate has strengthened to 1.1680 and looking to target 12-month highs above 1.1700 amid a lack of Euro confidence and selling of traditional defensive currencies.
The GBPUSD rate has been hampered by dollar gains, but bounced strongly from 1.3800 to above 1.3850.
The Japanese yen, Swiss Franc and Euro exchange rates have been under renewed selling pressure despite a correction in early Europe on Tuesday.
The Pound-Yen strengthened to fresh 34-month highs above 151.0 while the Pound-Franc hit 15-month highs above 1.2950.
Marshall Gittler, Head of Investment Research at BDSwiss Group noted; “Asset managers have started to reduce their long JPY positions but are still historically long JPY, perhaps thanks to the stellar performance of the Japanese stock market this year (up 5.1% YTD in local currency terms, vs +2.3% for the S&P 500). I can easily envision them hedging their positions as JPY weakens, thereby accelerating the downturn.
Selling pressure on the Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc will also tend to undermine Euro support.
GBP/EUR, GBP/USD Forecasts 2021:
US Dollar (USD) exchange rates post 3-month highs on US growth optimism
The US dollar has continued to post gains in global currency markets amid expectations of strong US growth and higher yields.
The US Dollar posted 3-month highs on a trade-weighted basis as the Euro to Dollar (EUR/USD) exchange rate also dipped to 3-month lows below 1.1850. The Dollar-Yen strengthened to 9-month highs above 109.00.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia currency analyst Joseph Capurso noted the Federal Reserve policy meeting next week; “The thing that markets are going to get from the FOMC that’s new is an update to their forecasts for inflation, economic growth and unemployment. They’re going to have to do some upgrades.”
The strong US Dollar tone continued to put some downward pressure on the GBP/USD exchange rate.
Commerzbank expects further GBP/USD losses, “It eroded the 2 month uptrend on Friday and starts this week focussed on the 55 day ma at 1.3732. The 6 month uptrend is not encountered until 1.3452 and is our short term target.”
ING, however, considers that the Euro is now significantly undervalued; “Our model also suggests that over the past quarters, the dips in EUR/USD into such undervalued territory (around 2%) have been rare and short-lived.
The strengthening of USD is rattling low yielding currencies, with no signs of slowing. The @federalreserve seems relaxed about the rising yields, but what about the @ecb and @BankofCanada which both have meetings this week?@LeeHardman6 gives his view: https://t.co/jHdQ6oiUJA— MUFG EMEA (@MUFGEMEA) March 8, 2021
UK re-opening optimism also intact
Schools in England fully re-opened on Monday, reinforcing expectations that there would be an economic recovery ahead of the Euro-zone. Continuing success in the vaccine programme continued to provide net support for the UK currency, especially with further difficulties in the Euro-zone as the Netherlands extended the curfew to the end of March.
Rabobank commented on the Euro-zone; “Economic recovery is very dependent on the roll out of vaccines. The European strategy has not been very successful so far and tensions are rising.”
Latest data from Barclaycard illustrated the dichotomy with a 13.8% decline in annual consumer spending for February while consumer confidence posted a 12-month high.
Bank of England Governor Bailey stated that contingency planning for negative interest rates did not imply any intensions for moving in that direction. He added that the UK economy faced two-sided risks to the recovery and that risks were tilted to the downside for now, but the risks are gradually diminishing.
Pound Sterling (GBP) exchange rates may have priced in the good news
There were still some reservations over underlying UK fundamentals.
JP Morgan maintains a negative stance on the Pound Sterling; “The fact that GBP hasn’t been able to capitalize on the budget supports our contention that GBP was already overshooting from both a valuation and positioning perspective. All told we expect GBP to remain vulnerable to the ongoing re-pricing in US yields and less bullish risk backdrop.”
The Pound to Euro exchange rate is currently 0.12% higher on the day quoted at 1.16771.

When you enjoy success at a young age in Hollywood, it can often be quite difficult to sustain a lasting career. For one, it’s possible that audiences will always think of you as that plucky young kid – just ask someone like Jonathan Lipnicki. And even if you manage to avoid that, there’s no telling if you’ll be able to survive life in the limelight or avoid Hollywood’s more illicit temptations – we’re looking at you, Lindsay Lohan.
Still, there are many child actors who manage to turn their early career exploits into successful careers as bankable stars. Below, we’re going to pay tribute to some of the most notable members of the ‘90s class. We’re sure some of your favorites are on here, and you just might learn a thing or two about those favorites that you never knew before!
1. Natalie Portman
It’s sometimes easy to forget that Natalie Portman, who’s one of the most instantly recognizable stars of today, got her start as a child actress. Her first role, and one that she’s still beloved for today, was that of Mathilda in The Professional. She’s got a whole slate of films coming out over the next year, including Jackie, in which she’ll play Jacqueline Kennedy. That film’s due out in the beginning of 2017.

In a letter to Trump, committee Democrats asked him to make available for a hearing White House and Justice Department officials involved in the action. They also requested legal documents on the decision that led to the declaration, setting a deadline of next Friday.
Trump’s decision to tap the Pentagon’s budget for a nonmilitary purpose amounts to an end run around politicians on Capitol Hill, who hold the power of the purse in Washington and so far have refused to appropriate the sum Trump wants for the wall.
Republicans are deeply torn over Trump’s decision to invoke executive power after Congress denied him the money he wanted for the wall along the Southern border. Some are backing the president, while others are vehemently opposed to what they see as constitutional overreach, setting up a potential showdown that adds to the already expected legal challenges.
“I don’t believe a national emergency declaration is the solution,” said Republican Senator Thom Tillis, who warned of taking the country down a “rabbit hole” with future presidents seizing unchecked executive power.
“No crisis justifies violating the Constitution,” said Senator Marco Rubio.
It’s an outcome Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his leadership warned Trump against. For days, they publicly urged him not to declare an emergency. But with Trump’s signature on Friday, Republican leaders are now largely falling in line behind Trump.
Using a national emergency declaration, Trump intends to draw $3.6 billion from already appropriated military construction funds that go to purposes as diverse as building hospitals on bases and overhauling barracks housing. Trump will access those funds under a little-known statute that allows the defence secretary to undertake military construction projects “not otherwise authorised by law” when they are in support of troops deployed in a national emergency.
In addition, the president plans to draw $2.5 billion from the military’s counterdrug support activities under a separate statute that does not require an emergency declaration. Because Congress appropriated only $1 billion for those counterdrug activities this fiscal year, the Pentagon will need to redirect money into that account from other places in its budget through a process called reprogramming. In the past, reprogramming has been done with congressional approval, but a Pentagon spokesman said a sign-off from Congress is not required by law.
Trump also authorised the activation of reservists to perform a federal mission at the direction of the defence secretary, in accordance with an emergency powers statute. So far, the Pentagon has not called up reservists or announced a deployment. The active-duty troops and guardsmen on the border have not been tasked with building the wall.
All told, Trump intends to obtain $US8 billion for the wall, only a small portion of which was authorised for that purpose by Congress.
Trump’s actions create a difficult situation for the Pentagon, now forced to decide which military programs already funded by Congress should be delayed or axed to free up money for the wall.
Speaking in the White House Rose Garden on Friday, Trump dismissed the possibility that the funds he plans to take from the Pentagon’s military construction budget would prevent members of the armed forces from receiving the modern infrastructure and facilities they need. Trump said certain funds were being used at the discretion of generals, anyway, and some of the generals think this is more important.
“I was speaking to a couple of them,” Trump said. “They think this is far more important than what they were going to use it for. I said, ‘What were you going to use it for?’ And I won’t go into details, but it didn’t sound too important to me.”

Separatists in Jammu and Kashmir called shutdown on Friday to protest over the killing of a Manan Bashir Wani, a Ph.D scholar-turned-militant commander in a gunfight in Kupwara district.
Militant Wani was a scholar in the Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh before joining militancy in January.
He belonged to Lolab area of Kupwara district where hundreds of mourners attended his funeral on Thursday.
Restrictions have been imposed in the district to prevent protests.
Militant Wani and his accomplice Ashiq Zargar, were killed by the security forces on Thursday at Shartgund Qalamabad village during a cordon-and-search operation after getting tip-off about their presence through intelligence inputs.
Businesses, shops and educational institutions remained closed along with other district headquarters of the valley.
Train services between north Kashmir’s Baramulla town and the Bannihal town in Jammu region were also suspended as a precautionary measure.
Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were deployed in the old city area and other law and order sensitive places of Kashmir valley.

IRB Infrastructure’s (IRB) topline grew 38.0% YoY to Rs 1788.5 crore (our estimate: Rs 1604.2 crore) on account of strong growth in construction and toll revenues. Construction revenues grew 54.9% YoY to Rs 1253.3 crore on account of strong execution. Toll revenues have grown 21.7% YoY to Rs 531.6 crore EBITDA margin declined sharply by 611 bps YoY to 42.5% (our estimate: 48.0% mainly due to lower margin in the construction division. The construction division margins (including other income) was at 25.0% vs. 32.5% in Q3FY18 PAT grew 5.5% YoY to Rs 218.9 crore (our estimate: Rs 264.8 crore) on account of a sharp EBITDA margin contraction and higher tax rate.
IRB’s construction revenues are expected to grow robustly on the back of strong order accretion. However, construction revenue growth for FY20E also hinges on receiving appointed date for its Tamil Nadu projects. Also, toll revenues from some of its key projects like Agra-Etawah and other three Rajasthan projects continue to remain weak due to construction activities and diversion of traffic. Hence, we maintain our HOLD rating on the stock with a revised SOTP based target price of Rs 135/share.

WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT… KALE?
by Lucy Jessop
Not only is kale more fashionable than double denim (NB: very), it's also pretty darn good for you! Here are some super kale facts for you to take in...
Per 80g serving, kale contains more vitamin C than an orange, over three times the amount of fibre of a slice of granary bread, more calcium than a glass of milk and more iron than three slices of roast beef. Those are some pretty hefty credentials – but does this leafy cousin of the cabbage actually taste nice? Well, yes, if cooked properly and combined with the right flavours. You'll be pleased to hear that it's super-versatile and easy to cook with, too – use it as you would cabbage, spinach or chard. Here are our top five ways to embrace kale:
Here are our top five ways to embrace kale
1 Stir-fry it with punchy chilli, garlic and ginger, and toss with noodles for a speedy supper with an Asian twist. See our kale, pork and sesame stir-fry.
2 Dehydrate it into kale crisps to serve as a pre-dinner nibble or afternoon snack. Simply toss with Szechuan pepper, olive oil and sea salt and bake.
3 Boil it briefly and add to mash for a twist on colcannon. See our red onion bangers with kale mash.
4 Throw it into soups or stews at the end of cooking to top up your five-a-day. See our sausage ribolita one pot.
5 Whiz it in to a trendy green smoothie for a hit of raw kale. Here's our favourite kale-based drink:
Zingy kale and ginger juice
½ cucumber (about 175g)
200ml cloudy apple juice (not from concentrate)
juice of ½-1 lime, to taste
a thumb-sized piece root ginger, grated
1. Put the kale in a large bowl and cover with a kettleful of just-boiled water, leave to stand for 2-3 minutes, drain and run under the cold tap until cool. Drain again.
2. Transfer to a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.
