Sydney: Describing the IMF's inability to move ahead with quota reforms as the "first visible failure of the G20," India on Friday asked member nations to expeditiously ratify the changes to give emerging nations a greater voice.
"This is perhaps the first visible failure of G20. This has reduced the credibility of G20. This has reduced the credibility of G20 as a premium forum for international economic cooperation and has dented the role of multilateral forum in achieving the agreed reforms," Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram said.
It was agreed in December 2010 that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) would implement the 14th General Review on quota reforms by January 2014.
Once implemented, India's share would increase to 2.75 percent from 2.44 percent currently and the country would become the eighth-largest quota holder at the IMF, up from the 11th position.
After a meeting of Finance and Central Bank Deputies here, Mayaram said: "We strongly stated that it is unfortunate that despite agreement in G20, implementation of 2010 reforms, which is vital for credibility, legitimacy and effectiveness of the IMF, have not been completed and we have missed the deadline of January 2014."
The meeting preceded the two-day conference of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors starting tomorrow, which will be attended by Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan, besides other ministers and central bank chiefs of the G20, a club of rich and developing nations.
Quota reforms at the IMF have hit a roadblock because US lawmakers failed to agree on the new funding mechanism.
The failure of the IMF to undertake the quota reforms, Mayaram said, has introduced huge uncertainties on realignment of quotas and associated governance reforms and as well as completion of the 15th General Review of quotas.
"It also means that IMF reliance of NAB (New Arrangements to Borrow) and bilateral resources will increase.
So we very categorically stated that it would be difficult for us to continue to support this kind of reliance on borrowed resources," he added.
India said it is the combined responsibility of the G20 members to restore the credibility of the grouping and has asked the IMF Board of Governors to implement the 14th General Review and then proceed with the next round of reforms.
"Our first aim should be to get the 14th General Review ratified by the next meeting in April 2014...We have requested all those countries which have not ratified the 14th General Review to ratify these without further delay," Mayaram said.
The IMF Board of Governors is asking for approval of a new deadline for completing the 15th General review by January 2015.
India is vigorously pushing for early completion of the IMF quota reforms at the G20 meeting. The IMF reviews member quotas once in five years and the previous one took place in December 2010.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (Purdue Sports) — Purdue dropped both games in Wednesday's doubleheader against Indiana at Bittinger Stadium. The Hoosiers edged the Boilermakers 1-0 in game one before their bats came alive in game two to earn a 11-4 victory.
The pair of losses marks the first time Indiana has swept Purdue in a season series since 2012. Following the sweep, Purdue went on a six-game winning streak spanning from 2013 to 2014.
Sydney Bates delivered one of her best pitching efforts of the season to open the doubleheader. The redshirt freshman threw seven innings and allowed just four hits and a walk while striking out six batters. One of the four hits was a solo home run in the third that ended up being the difference in the game.
Purdue had no shortage of baserunners with five walks in the game but the Boilermakers struggled to deliver timely hits as Ryleigh Scott, Rachel Krzysko and Halle Hixenbaugh accounted for Purdue's three hits. Altogether, Purdue finished the game with seven runners left on base.
Bates came back in the seventh inning of game two to record the final two outs of the contest after Indiana tagged four different Boilermakers for 11 runs. Purdue recorded seven hits against the Hoosiers with Jenny Behan registering a the lone multi-hit performance with a single, a double and a pair of runs scored. Mallory Baker, Stephanie Ramsey, Emily Kenny, Madison Douglass and Krzysko accounted for the other five hits for Purdue with Ramsey, Kenny and Siena Wagner earning a run batted in each. Ramsey was responsible for scoring the other two runs for Purdue.
Purdue is back in action Friday kicking off its final Big Ten home series of the season against Minnesota at Bittinger Stadium. First pitch of game one is set for 6 p.m. ET.

Using the Binarization module as an example, this MR includes a Jekyll layout for module pages. This should make it easier for us to keep a standard layout for the module pages and to add in additional instructions for platforms and so on. The idea is that we will ask people to populate the header of the module page files as follows:
--- title: Image binarization #page title layout: module # leave this the same prerequisites: - "the concepts of image files, pixels, and intensity" # a list of required knowledge - "something else __that__ `requires` _formatting_" # for the module to make sense objectives: - "describe the relationship between an intensity image and a derived binary image" # learning objectives - "use thresholding to distinguish foreground and background pixels" # for the module platforms: # these will be used to populate the dropdown and blocks for the "Activity" section "ImageJ GUI": "activities/binarization/binarization_imagejgui.md" # paired list of platform "ImageJ Macro": "activities/binarization/binarization.ijm" # names and associated "Jython": "activities/binarization/binarization_jython.py" # files of instructions "MATLAB": "activities/binarization/binarization.m" # for that platform ---

Gregg Hurwitz just announced that Batman: The Dark Knight will be ending with Issue #29. He has been on the title for the last two years, and promises some great things in the last few issues including a new and improved Man-Bat . During his tenure he has helped the Dark Knight make it onto the New York Times hardcover graphic novels list.
Hurrwitz ends his announcement saying, “I have more coming up beyond the title as well. I’m honored to be contributing to the Detective #27 anniversary issue with a story drawn by Neal Adams, and I’m hoping we’ll find more excuses for me to dive into Batcave beyond that. But for the moment, I want to dim the Bat-Signal and thank you all for supporting Batman: The Dark Knight. The ride would not have been possible without you.”

This week, I wanted to share a couple songs by The Maine. I’ve been listening to them for four albums now and they keep getting better. Each new album feels a little bit like watching them grow up.
“Run” – I love this song. It just brings up these really vivid images for me. If I end up writing a boarding school story about a superhero who becomes a villain… well, blame this song. Because every time I listen to it, I plot a little more of a ridiculous novel.
“The Kennedy Curse” – I actually didn’t like it the first time I heard it, but it’s haunting and gets stuck in my head. Now it’s one of my favorite tracks on the album.
I’ve been told many times that I don’t know what the word “favorite” means, but The Maine is probably my favorite band. Both of these songs are off their album “Forever Halloween” which can be purchased on amazon and probably iTunes and probably other places, too.

Charlie Kirk: Conservatives must fight for their voice
Published 12:00 am Sunday, July 14, 2019
By Charlie Kirk
Special to The Washington Post
By now, most conservatives are convinced that our voices are being shadow-banned, throttled, muted and outright censored online. In fact, amid protestations by groups including the Internet Association, which claims Facebook, Google and Twitter are bias-free, it’s an open fact that Big Tech is run predominantly by those on the ideological left. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey even admitted this before Congress, and footage of Google’s leadership consoling one another after President Trump’s victory in 2016 indicates the same is true for them.
Many on the right have complained loudly and often of anti-conservative bias online. Unfortunately, all too often this is where our efforts stop. Once we’re ignored or dismissed long enough, conservatives seem to just shrug our collective shoulders and accept defeat. It’s this type of passivity that has allowed progressives to dominate film and television, universities and large swaths of the mainstream news media.
How did they accomplish that? By fighting tooth and nail for what they believe in every vertical.
I founded Turning Point USA to take the fight for ideological diversity directly to a progressive stronghold: the nation’s leading colleges and universities. Now, with Trump’s social media summit on Thursday, we have an opportunity to challenge another progressive hegemony, this time in Big Tech. If we don’t yet know the exact solution to the problem, Thursday’s summit is an important step in fighting to ensure social media platforms remain forums where all ideologies have a voice.
However, fighting back against private companies with government action is a politically and ideologically fraught idea for those of us on the right. Why? Because the last thing we want is more government regulation against private businesses. Regulation often helps Big Industry remain entrenched in power. The burdensome costs of complying with any new regulation would be a rounding error for the likes of Facebook and Google, but it might completely destroy a promising start-up poised to challenge their dominance.
Conservatives by and large believe in the corrective power of the free market above all. If we don’t like how private companies are doing business, we should just start our own to compete, right?
There is one glaring problem with this: The free market must be functioning freely for this to be true. There is now ample reason to believe the market’s normal corrective powers are being blocked by anti-competitive forces.
Many reputable economists and business executives have already made compelling arguments that these companies should be considered monopolies and are unfairly stifling competition. Jeremy Stoppelman, the co-founder of Yelp, concluded start-ups similar to his firm would no longer be successful today since “that opportunity has been closed off by Google and their approach.” Consider that Google alone controls more than 90 percent of all online searches, and its monopolistic power comes into frightening focus. The European Union even levied a $2.7 billion fine against Google, claiming the company manipulated search results to suppress competitors.
The second obstacle to the free market is Big Tech’s exploitation of preexisting laws, namely Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act that was passed by Congress in the ’90s. Social media companies have leveraged Section 230 to great effect, and astounding profits, by claiming they are platforms — not publishers — thereby avoiding under the law billions of dollars in potential copyright infringement and libel lawsuits. YouTube, for example, advertises itself as an open platform “committed to fostering a community where everyone’s voice can be heard.” Facebook and Twitter make similar claims.
Let’s be clear, when these companies censor or suppress conservative content, they are behaving as publishers, and they should be held legally responsible for the all the content they publish. If they want to continue hiding behind Section 230 and avoid legal and financial calamity, they must reform.
As radio host Dennis Prager often says, if an airline permitted only those passengers holding The New York Times to board but then denied Wall Street Journal readers, we would all rightly call this discrimination and demand the airline change its policy. In the same way, conservatives cannot win the battle of ideas if we’re marginalized or removed from mainstream culture and mainstream platforms.
How did we respond when progressives came to dominate higher education? We formed a few alternative universities such as Hillsdale College and Liberty University. Though we deeply value these institutions, it’s also impossible for them to reverse higher education’s half-century-long drift to the left. The same will be true on today’s dominant social media platforms if we reflexively assume the free market will save us.
As a 25-year-old digital native, both my life and my organization have greatly benefited from social media. This is why I’m an optimist. But I’m also a realist. Conservatives can either acknowledge the fight we’re already in — and fight to win — or forfeit our cultural influence to another generation in yet another, and perhaps the most important, information medium ever to exist.
Charlie Kirk is the founder and chief executive of Turning Point USA , a conservative youth organization, and host of a show on Apple Podcasts.

The Seattle Department of Transportation is making a number of improvements to bike lanes and parking on N 34th St, causing detours and parking restrictions for the next two weeks.
The roadwork is part of the N 34st St Mobility Improvements, which will add protected bike lanes from Fremont Ave W to Stone Way N. The redesign will maintain parking on the north side of the street, and update the intersection design at the Stone Way N, Troll Ave N, and Fremont Ave N intersections.
SDOT says the design plans were made using traffic data, comments from community outreach, and guidance from the citywide transportation plans.
The roadwork is happening on N 34th St between Fremont Ave N to Stone Way N; SDOT says the changes are meant to increase safety for people biking, walking, and rolling. Work will commence today (Monday, May 10) and take place primarily overnight—from Monday to Thursday from 7 pm to 7 am.
SDOT says the work will take two weeks and require detours and temporary driveway closures along the roadway. Overnight parking will be impacted by the work; SDOT will place no-parking signs in affected areas.
The work is being split into three phases: The first two phases will be primarily focused on the north side of N 34th St, and the final phase will happen on the south side of the roadway. During the work on the north side, SDOT says people entering or leaving parking garages and driveways will only be able to do so by turning left on N 34th St. There will be crew members at the intersection of Troll Ave N and N 34th St to guide people who are riding bikes through the detoured area.
Note that during phase 1, N 34th St will be open to people driving eastbound. Westbound traffic will be detoured onto N 35th St.
SDOT says phase 2 will be similar to phase 1 except for people on bikes will now use the newly installed bike lanes to move between Troll Ave N and Fremont Ave N.
The third and final phase of construction (above) will have crews working on the south side of the street, but N 34th St will be open to westbound traffic. Eastbound traffic will be detoured to N 35th St.
SDOT says to expect the following during construction:
- Driveway access will be limited at times
- Noise, dust, debris, and vibration
- Construction staging and parking impacts near the work sites
- Roadway closures and detours for vehicle traffic
- Temporary no parking along north side of N 34th St
- Crosswalk and sidewalk closures, and detours for people walking and biking
SDOT says all work is weather-dependent.

[Last updated September 2016]
See our section here for a brief summary of US taxation of physical precious metals. See US capital gains tax for more information on this specific tax. Also, see our section on general strategies for US citizens
State sales tax rates and rules in relation to physical precious metals vary and there is very little conformity. Fortunately much information is readily found online. Remember, you pay sales tax in the state in which the sale takes place. This is why dealers tend to concentrate in certain states and not others.
Disposals (sale) of physical gold and silver are taxed as a collectible under US federal tax law. Physical gold and silver is considered the same as artwork, wine, and classic cars. Thus the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) levies a higher rate of Capital Gain tax (CGT) up to a substantial 28%. In addition, state taxes can push this to almost 40%. This is high compared to stocks, bonds and other financial investments.
In this section
US capital gains and liability
The general concept of capital gains and CGT is essentially the same everywhere, but there can be important differences that a good tax accountant should alert you too. For example, the IRS definition of a capital asset is quite broad compared to other tax authorities. The disposal of items including personal property such as boats, cars, furnishings, and real estate as well as more traditional investments such as stocks and bonds will all trigger a capital gain (or loss) calculation in the US.
On the other hand, your annual CGT liability is a simple subtraction of total capital gains from total capital losses as there are very few allowances, reliefs or exemptions to worry about. The IRS also kindly allows tax filers to deduct a negative CGT liability (overall capital loss) from taxable income or carry that benefit over to prior or future years. Make sure you use your capital losses effectively and keep your taxable income as low as possible to avoid the maximum rate on capital gains. Note however the IRS will allow you to deduct capital losses only on investment property, not property that was for personal use.
Important idiosyncrasies of US federal capital gains/loss and CGT liability rules on physical precious metals are:
- Metals bought and sold within a one-year period are assessed at the ordinary income tax rate;
- Physical precious metals can be gifted within generous limits to family members, charities and trusts without triggering any rules;
- There is scope for ‘like-for-like’ tax-free exchanging of metals in one form to another form. For example, exchange 100oz silver bar for ten 10oz silver bars;
- There can be complex interactions with your state and federal taxes best left to a tax specialist;
- There are many ways your basis can be favourably adjusted to control your capital gains.
Managing your basis
One area where US federal tax law can be quite complex (and different from other countries) is in determining and adjusting your basis. IRS capital gains (or losses) are calculated as follows:
When you buy, are gifted, inherit or otherwise take legal possession of physical precious metals your basis will be either the price you paid or the fair market value at that time. If you exchange under like-for-like rules the basis in the original item will transfer to the exchanged item. Note that if you do not have any proof of what your basis is you could be liable for CGT on the entire value of the sale, i.e. the IRS considers your basis as zero. Make sure you have receipts or legal records for all your metals.
Interestingly, if you find and declare lost or abandoned treasure your basis (zero) will be used to assess income tax not CGT. The bureaucrats have all angles covered.
According to this IRS document wash sale rules don’t apply to “collectibles”. (Wash sales are when an investor sells an investment at a loss and quickly buys it back for tax avoidance purposes. Typically this is not allowed). So if you bought precious metals at higher prices you may want to consider selling and immediately re-buying to avail of the capital loss.
Re-basing your physical precious metal investments is an important consideration. There are many IRS rules in relation to estimating and adjusting the basis of a capital asset. This is one area where we strongly suggest getting professional tax advice.
US citizens living abroad must file IRS tax returns. Generally speaking, taxes paid abroad can be netted off what would be owed to the IRS. For example, any CGT paid abroad is applied as a tax credit on your IRS return. Of course since CGT is zero/low in many countries you will still be liable for IRS CGT. We discuss the reporting of foreign held, and foreign bought and sold, precious metals in our section on strategies for US citizens.
Within the US, gold and silver bullion dealers must record customer details on Form 8300 for total combined cash purchases over $10,000 in their tax year (typically calendar year). Credit card, bank wire and other forms of non-cash payment are not reportable.
The selling by customers to dealers of certain types and quantities of physical precious metals is reportable on Form 1099-B. The table below outlines these rules (as of time of writing). Understandability many people don’t like giving out personal details. Anonymity is important, especially for those storing metals personally. However the strategic benefits of buying certain items so as to later avoid filling out 1099-B seem minimal to us. The IRS already has plenty of your personal information and 1099-B rules will likely change in the future. In any case, you are still liable to pay up to 28% CGT on the sale of all physical precious metals whether they are reportable on 1099-B or not.
|Not reportable on a Form 1099-B||Reportable on Form 1099-B|
Metals oriented self-directed IRA
Individuals with US taxable income can set up a Self-directed Individual Retirement Account (SDIRA) and fund it with precious metals. IRAs are tax efficient shelters designed to minimize tax. Investment gains inside the shelter are CGT free. At present, the rules for withdrawing from IRAs between the ages of 60 and 70 years are very tax favourable.
Precious metals can be held within a SDIRA but only on certain conditions. Bullion (bars) must be held by an approved custodian while certain coins may be held personally subject to a complicated “Home Storage IRA” that requires setting up a limit liability company (LLC). Unfortunately using a custodian means the metals will be recorded as being owned by the custodian regardless of where or how they are stored. Furthermore, the “Home Storage IRA” option seems more trouble than it’s worth not least because the IRS hasn’t formally approved it (or not).
We don’t recommend putting precious metals inside a SDIRA or variants thereof and neither does the Wall Street Journal. But if you insist we know Broad Financial in New York and Birch Gold Group in California offer these types of IRAs (neither company are a recommendation).

Using lettuce leaves instead of traditional tortilla wraps or rice paper rolls reduces the calorie count of these wraps as well as giving extra crunch and freshness. Prawns are a great low fat and low calorie source of protein and also provide omega-3 fatty acids, an essential acid that our bodies do not naturally produce. Using rice noodles provides a source of carbohydrates that gives you energy and makes these prawn wraps more substantial than a salad, but keeps them gluten free.
Try serving these Vietnamese style lettuce wraps as a light summer starter or as an interesting barbecue side dish. They are fresh and summery with vibrant flavours that will impress all your friends and family. Once you’ve got the Asian ingredients needed for the dressing, you can use them to explore many other Asian recipes such as our Thai Chicken Salad with Peanuts and Ginger and our Vietnamese Pork Balls.
HOW TO MAKE LETTUCE WRAPS
- 450g cooked king prawns
- 2 nests of rice vermicelli noodles
- 3 baby gem lettuces
- 1 mango, cut into cubes
- 6 spring onions, finely chopped
- 3tbsp chopped roasted peanuts
- mint sprigs
- for the dressing
- 2tbsp rice vinegar
- 1tbsp Thai fish sauce
- 1tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 small red chilli, chopped
- 2tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Mix together all the dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add the prawns and mix well. Cover and leave in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the recipe. They will happily sit overnight.
Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions, then refresh under cold water. To assemble the wraps, split out the lettuce leaves and put on a serving plate. Now add some noodles, the mango, spring onions, prawns and peanuts and top with mint.

Dex Rossi is a gawky, lovesick middle-school entrepreneur and amateur chef who runs a gourmet lunch stand from his front lawn. In love with a girl who likes jocks, he hopes to earn enough money to buy a gym system that will help him bulk up and win her heart. But while he serves up his locally famous food, his profits come to serve another purpose. He discovers that his grandmother’s restaurant is in financial ruin, and to save it, he must cook up a quick plan!
With the help of Alicia, his filmmaking older sister, and a host of great friends, Dex kicks his business into high gear. As word of his talent spreads like peanut butter, an unlikely windfall comes his way. Dex lands his own TV cooking show on the famous Eatz network! But just when he thinks he’s got his problems licked, Dex finds himself going head to head with a scheming, hard-boiled associate with a secret he has kept closely guarded. Dex learns that when your dreams are on the chopping block, finding the right ingredients is the best recipe for success.
DEX is an inspiring story for tweens 8 – 13, and a charming read for all adults that love food.
Sheri Lynn Fishbach Fishbach is a New York-based freelance writer and editor who has contributed to local, regional, and national publications including Gannett’s the Journal News, Psychology Tomorrow, the Jewish Reporter, Steppin’ Out, and the New York Times network of newspapers. She lives in Bardonia, NY.
“References to cookies, cakes, sweet and savory sauces, sumptuous platters, gourmet pizzas, and other mouthwatering fare that Fishbach energetically stirs into her fast and funny tale. A bit underdone in spots but a mostly delectable debut.”
“Dex is a tasty character blended into a good story that deserves to be heard from, understood and most of all, read!”
–Jonathan Russo, ABC’s The Chew
“An incredibly fun, fresh and engaging read! Dex is full of laughs, heart, and memorable characters peppered with some of the best-sounding food you’re likely to find in any book. Kids and parents will be waiting for Dex to hit the big screen and TV!”
–Adam Neal, Associate Editor Psychology Tomorrow
“A wonderfully warm and funny novel about a kid who learns that cooking is as much about love as food. Fishbach is that rare thing, a genuinely funny writer, and Dex is thoroughly delicious.”
–Beverly Swerling, Author Bristol House
“Dex is a delicious read, a seven-course meal brimful of savory plot twists and turns. Fishbach has certainly served up a classic for all to enjoy.”
–Gene Bolan, Former VP MTV Networks
“Although the book centers on food and offers exciting recipe ideas that will encourage kids to be creative in the kitchen, it is also about family, loyalty, tolerance, and acceptance (themes with great relevance today). I kinda want Dex to be MY next-door neighbor, so I can patronize his lunch sandwich business, and get samples of his incredible sounding cookies.”
“Join in on the fun and find out what the buzz of this summer is? Get a copy of DEX, about a kid chef who’s a wiz in the kitchen and lands his own cooking show on TV!”

The letter, which was delivered to Dana representatives on Friday, will heap pressure on Dana's board to end the current stand-off and open talks with the Koreans.
Shareholders in Dana are growing frustrated with the decision of Dana's management, led by Tom Cross, not to engage with the Korean National Oil Company (Knoc) since its proposal of a cash takeover at £18-a-share.
In a tersely-worded statement last Friday, Dana said it had received an "unsolicited" letter from Knoc but that the approach had not included details of the deal including "comfort on financing and other execution risks".
The latest letter contained confirmation from a series of Asian banks that they are prepared to back Knoc.
One Dana shareholder said: "It was pretty odd for Dana to ask for proof of funds at this stage but it's clearly a sign of Knoc's commitment that they quickly provided it."
Since last week's statement, Dana has ignored calls from Schroders, its biggest investor with a 16pc stake, urging the oil company to consider the offer.
Other top shareholders, including Black Rock and JP Morgan Asset Management, the company's second and third biggest investors, are also thought to back calls to start proper takeover talks.
Knoc has had informal conversations with Dana's shareholders this week to test support for the deal. Sources close to the situation said these investors encouraged Knoc to push ahead.
Investors are concerned Mr Cross is holding out for an unrealistic price. He has a stake of 2pc in the company he co-founded in 1994 and stands to make £30m from a sale.

Emergency phones must have been ringing off the hook when this viral hit the internet. A lone graffiti artist jumps the fence of Andrews Air Force Base—apparently, the Secret Service was on a donut break—and unleashes his paint can all over the President's 747 to spell out the mysterious tag "Still Free." The grainy video, which pointed viewers to the website stillfree.com, got bloggers and press from ABC News to Wonkette abuzz about whether or not the White House was being Punk'd—earning scads of media time for urban clothier Marc Ecko, the assumed culprit behind the defacing. The viral turned out to be the first public project out of Droga5, in partnership with production company Smuggler and director Randy Krallman. The Ecko-promoting effort brilliantly leveraged word of mouth power and socially lubricated avenues of internet portals and blogs, earning awards galore, including the Cyber Grand Prix, Silver and Bronze Media Lions at Cannes—and a Creativity Award from our judges.
Q&A with Droga5 executive creative director Duncan Marshall
How did you come up with the idea for the viral?
Duncan Marshall: We knew we wanted to create a pop culture moment. We had a very brave client, but we didn't have a huge budget. We were doing our first Droga5 project and wanted it to have some bite. We were also lucky enough to be working with Smuggler from the outset, and having Randy Krallman, Brian Beletic, and Patrick Milling Smith in the room with us from the outset meant we couldn't go far wrong. We figured we should try and show the ultimate in graffiti somehow. And convince people it was real. We kicked about the idea of having The White House tagged, but it seemed too predictable, and anyway, no one would believe it for a second. Air Force One was a bit more of an unknown, and visually more interesting. (I said Air Force One first, by the way, although the others may contest this).
What were the biggest challenges on the project? How did you overcome them?
Marshall: We thought the challenge was going to be Ecko buying it—but he was up for it. In fact he wanted a bit more action than we felt would be believable, and we had to pull him back. Unsurprisingly, the biggest challenge was getting a 747 that we could turn into Air Force One without anyone asking too many questions. And doing it in two weeks. One was found one in Mexico, but the owner wanted it to be left as Air Force One after the shoot, and it all seemed a bit sketchy. Then we found one in Arizona, but it turned out to belong in some way or other to the C.I.A. So we tiptoed away. We also knew we had to get genuine graffiti artists from the outset, otherwise people would have called us on it immediately. Luckily, someone got hold of three guys who knew what they were doing. Randy did an amazing job directing—again, it was crucial to make it look like the taggers had just shot it on the fly—and to show clues that bloggers would pick up on while making it look like the camera was the last thing they were thinking about.

The top models manufactured in the UK and sold around the world are:
- Nissan Qashqai
- Honda Civic
- Toyota Auris
- Vauxhall Astra
- Nissan Juke
- Range Rover Sport
- Jaguar F Pace
- Range Rover Evoque
- Land Rover Discovery Sport
The threat posed by Brexit is also larger than it appears. Direct exports to the EU already account for over half of all UK exports, but a further 10% of all car exports are delivered to countries under free trade agreements they signed with the EU, with the UK benefiting as a member. These include exports made to South Korea, Canada, and Turkey. In theory, up to 64% of UK exports are at risk from Brexit.
Learn more: how has the UK car market performed in early 2018?
The proportion of UK cars produced being exported rose to its highest ever level last year, and helped offset the declining domestic demand which caused UK car production to fall for the first time in eight years in 2017. With the UK government emitting confusing messages on diesel and a wobble in confidence during lengthy Brexit negotiations, output for the UK market fell 9.8% last year, compared to the 1.1% decline in production for export markets.
On a brighter note, demand for UK parts remains high, particularly for engines. UK engine production reached an all-time high in 2017, rising 6.9% to over 2.7 million. Over half went overseas, mostly to the EU.
Based on 2016 figures from SMMT, Ford produced 56.6% of all engines made in the UK from its two plants in Dagenham and Bridgend, with Nissan close behind at 10.4%. Other major contributors were BMW at 10.1%, Toyota at 9.4%, Jaguar Land Rover at 7.9%, Honda at 5.2%, and Bentley at only 0.5%.
The SMMT has been quite clear that the UK automotive industry wants a Brexit deal that is as close to the existing arrangement between the UK and the EU, and has called for maintaining membership of both the single market and the customs union – which might be better described a wish list.
Read more about London-listed UK car dealerships and what their share price outlook is
Although the impact of Brexit is already being felt, with investment in the UK automotive industry dropping by more than one-third in 2017 to £1.1 billion, the outlook will remain bleak until post-Brexit conditions are truly known. Having said that, it is not all doom and gloom. Most of the UK’s popular brands may have fallen into foreign ownership over time, but there is plenty of evidence that manufacturers are backing the UK post-Brexit.
UK car manufacturers invest in the UK amid Brexit
PSA Group, having bought the loss-making Opel-Vauxhall business from General Motors last year, has become the latest manufacturer to invest in its UK operations amid Brexit to join the likes of Nissan, Toyota and BMW in what has to be seen as a voice of confidence behind the UK market – regardless of what Brexit can throw at it.
PSA has committed to building new Vauxhall and Opel Vivaro vans at its existing plant, partly thanks to an existing paint facility it has there. This will involve an investment of about £100 million and output will rise to 100,000 when new Peugeot and Citroen models are added from about 59,000 vans in 2017. However, PSA has said it needs to begin sourcing more parts from the UK than abroad, and has a long way to go to turn the business round.
Toyota said earlier this year it is to build the next generation of the Auris Hatchback in Derbyshire, after producing cars in the UK over the past quarter-of-a-century, and has in turn called for trade post-Brexit to be as ‘frictionless as possible’.
BMW said it would continue to back the Britishness of the MINI by building its electric version in Oxford, after previously stating it was looking to shift manufacturing outside of the UK.
Nissan, which produces the most in-demand car for overseas markets, was the first big manufacturer to back its UK plants after the referendum vote. The company in 2016 committed to making the next generation Qashqai and X-Trail SUVs at its Sunderland plant.
The UK government’s helping hand to the automotive industry
When Nissan became the first to signal its willingness to invest in the UK despite Brexit, the UK government provided assurances that the Japanese carmaker would not see an impact on trade after the UK left the EU. When Toyota invested around £240 million in its Derby plant last year it was aided by a UK government grant worth over £21 million.
The UK is contributing £9 million as a guarantee PSA’s plant in Luton will remain competitive after Brexit, but the firm’s Ellesmere Port plant is still in jeopardy, and competing with one other plant in the EU to produce the next version of the Vauxhall Astra. The government may well have to get its purse out again.
UK Automotive Sector Deal
In January this year, the UK government confirmed the Automotive Sector Deal which includes:
- A sector deal with £32 million of joint funding to develop ‘industry-led supply chain competiveness programme’
- A £26.4 million government investment in low-carbon vehicle projects with Ford, GKN and Jaguar Land Rover, which will be matched by a further £52.8 million of industry funding
- A £500 million government investment over ten years to 2023 to develop new low carbon automotive technologies, matched by £500 million of industry funding
- Government funding of £225 million from 2023 to 2026 to support research and development in the sector, with industry matching that investment
- Government investment of £246 million to make the UK a ‘world leader’ in design, development and manufacture of batteries for the electrification of vehicles
- A £250 million government investment in connected and autonomous vehicles
The government does have a responsibility to help ailing important industries (those with strategic importance or employing large numbers of staff) get back on their feet when times get tough, but only those that it believes has a future. The UK government offered a plaster to what remains of the steel industry but refused to provide any further treatment because, ultimately, it doesn’t see a future for UK steel beyond a small group of niche producers.
The UK automotive market, however, has bright prospects and the government is not plumping up major sums to rescue a struggling industry, it is more offering guarantees to some of the country’s biggest employers. As far as the UK government is concerned, it will deliver a deal that will satisfy the industry and, if it doesn’t pay off, then it has the purse ready to ease the projected loss of trade that manufacturers would expect.
As the UK government has conceded, the UK automotive industry ‘has benefited from the European market’ and a ‘new relationship that is free from tariffs and without friction to trade’ are ‘factors fundamental to the competiveness of the UK automotive sector’.
What could happen to the UK’s automotive industry without a Brexit deal?
If a no trade deal is agreed between the UK and EU for the automotive industry, then the sector will fall under World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules, which would slap a 10% tariff on all cars imported to the EU from the UK. Over half of all UK-made cars are sent to the EU, and the SMMT has estimated this could add £1.8 billion in costs. With the UK importing 69% of all cars from the EU, that tariff on cars imported to the UK from the EU would add £2.8 billion in costs.
There is also employment concerns as ‘at least’ 10% of the manufacturing workforce in the UK come from elsewhere in the EU, according to the SMMT.

Rivera’s partnership with the Rockefeller family continues to be one of the most intriguing artist/patron relationships of the 20th century. The research we completed for the exhibition Diego Rivera: Murals for The Museum of Modern Art offered the chance to take a closer look at this unlikely collaboration between an avowed Communist artist and members of an extraordinarily wealthy family known world-wide for their successful capitalist ventures.
In preparing for the show, we learned about Abby Aldrich Rockefeller’s keen interest in Rivera’s work and the important role she played in making his retrospective exhibition at MoMA in the winter of 1931 a reality. We also uncovered new details about Rivera’s notoriously ill-fated commission at Rockefeller Center in 1933. Key to these discoveries was a series of conversations between the show’s curator, Leah Dickerman, and David Rockefeller, Sr., who was a teenager when Rivera was in New York and remembers his visits to the family home and the controversy around the artist’s mural at the RCA building (now known as the GE building).
Just before our exhibition opened, Mr. Rockefeller kindly agreed to give a recorded interview along with the historian Peter J. Johnson, leaving us with an invaluable first-hand account of one of the most captivating moments in Rivera’s long and eventful career.

Affiliated Cardiologists of Arizona
General Cardiology & Vascular Medicine located in Phoenix, Goodyear, Chandler, & Maricopa, AZ
Treatments for varicose veins are far less invasive and painful than they were years ago when surgeons would remove badly diseased veins from your legs. The vascular experts at Affiliated Cardiologists of Arizona now use minimally invasive Venefit™ endovenous ablation to destroy varicose veins with little discomfort and minimal downtime. You can undergo endovenous ablation at the practice's locations in Phoenix, Maricopa, Goodyear, and Chandler, Arizona. Call the nearest office or book an appointment online today.
What is endovenous ablation?
Endovenous ablation is a treatment for troublesome varicose veins. These unhealthy veins are a common issue that most often affects the legs, particularly in women.
The Affiliated Cardiologists of Arizona team uses Venefit radiofrequency technology to perform endovenous ablation. The radiofrequency energy heats the affected vein and causes it to collapse, sealing it shut. Your blood goes along other, healthy veins nearby, and your body absorbs the treated vein over time, so it eventually disappears.
Endovenous ablation is one of the most effective ways of getting rid of varicose veins with minimal discomfort and without the need for extended downtime.
Why might I need endovenous ablation?
Varicose veins aren't a cause for immediate concern, but you're likely to find that over time they become more than just an unsightly nuisance. Your legs may feel heavy, tired, and achy, especially when standing or walking, and you might get cramps or throbbing sensations in your legs.
It’s important to seek medical advice if you have varicose veins, as they may indicate you have an underlying circulatory disorder. Unless you receive treatment for your varicose veins, the blood vessels can start leaking fluid into the surrounding tissues and cause edema (leg swelling).
Severe varicose veins can eventually lead to a breakdown of the tissues that encourages ulcer formation. Ulcers are open sores that resist healing and are vulnerable to infection, which may ultimately result in amputation if there's significant tissue death.
What happens when I undergo endovenous ablation?
The Venefit procedure uses a tiny tube called a catheter that's just the right size to fit inside your veins. Your provider at Affiliated Cardiologists of Arizona makes a small cut in your leg, then inserts the catheter, threading it along the vein using ultrasound imaging technology as a guide.
Once the catheter is in position, your provider delivers radio wave energy pulses into the vein while carefully removing the catheter. As they withdraw the catheter, the heated vein walls close in on themselves and seal tightly together.
What happens after my endovenous ablation treatment?
After treatment, your provider places a plain bandage over the insertion site and gives you compression stockings to wear to aid the healing process.
You should avoid standing for long periods or taking part in strenuous activities for a while. In most cases, patients resume their normal activities within a few days.
If you have varicose veins and are looking for a fast, effective solution, talk to the experts at Affiliated Cardiologists of Arizona. Call the nearest office or book an appointment online today.

Dolenz is the latest alias from Neil Andrew (fka DJ Solo and Wriggly Scott), an established DJ and producer who’s graced a plethora of radio stations and labels from London to Dubai. Drawing influence from ‘80s breakdance films, science fiction and Eastern sounds, Hysteresis is his introductory beat tape and it’s an 8 track EP that perfectly navigates his hybrid of heavy hip hop drum work, saturation soaked samples and analog production techniques.
Setting the scene with the eerie spatial composition and title track, Dolenz delves straight into the low-slung banger ‘Steady Labbing’ before exploring different tempos from the slow/fast axis. References to classic beat sketch hip hop come thick and fast all across the EP with the two rap cuts ‘Rap 1’ and ‘Rap 2’, which find the producer teaming up with his longtime collaborators Toofless (from Sudan) and Muqata’a (from Palestine), cementing Andrew’s commitment and passion to hip hop as a culture.

Remembrance - wow... each part. Utterly, utterly perfect. Inspiring drums...
Strings Of Light pulls you in from the start, letting you know you're in for a great trip.
Joint 17 is another great track, smooth and funky and exploring around the edges of the groove.
Black Focus is a great opener and Yo Chavez is really nice.
Lowrider... mmm, the theme is bit retro for me, which is fitting - and brilliant playing, of course.

LOUISVILLE — It was hardly the way the Monarch boys wanted to start their first home basketball game of the season.
They missed their first seven shots and turned the ball over five times before finally hitting their first field goal Friday night. And a few minutes later, they trailed by 10 points.
So were the Coyotes confident they’d get it going and turn the game around?
“I wasn’t — not against that zone (defense of Montbello),” MHS coach Ken Niven admitted.
But the momentum did indeed shift, and Monarch used a 19-3 run in the middle of the game to post its first victory of the season, 55-45 over a team that went to the 5A Sweet 16 last season.
Montbello turned the ball over 28 times and Monarch finally solved the 1-3-1 zone defense it faced as the Coyotes avenged a one-point loss to the Warriors a year ago.
“We just came out a little nervous,” said Monarch senior Nathan Brooks, who scored a team-high 18 points, including 10 in the third quarter. “I thought we did a great job of turning it around and doing what we had to do. I’m glad we were able to pull it out.”
The Coyotes improved to 1-1 in the early season, but not before trailing 21-11 in the second quarter. However, when Montbello turned the ball over seven times in eight possessions just before halftime, Monarch gradually made headway and trailed by just two at intermission.
The Coyotes continued the surge by attacking Montbello’s zone more in the third quarter and they took the lead when Wes Moon stole the ball and drove in for a layup with 6:42 left in the period. Moon, who was playing football for the Coyotes last weekend, was making his basketball season debut after just one practice.
Eventually, Monarch’s 19-3 blitz was good for a 30-24 lead. Though AJ Hayes hit two of his five 3-pointers for Montbello to knot the game at 30, the Warriors (0-2) would never have the upper hand again. The closest they got in the fourth quarter was two points early in the period.
“At halftime we drew up their offense and figured out their plays, and we started attacking their seams, which opened up more shots,” said Monarch sophomore Ben Beauchamp, who tallied a dozen points along with senior Dan Sorenson. “We started boxing out and everything began to click.”
Hayes scored 26 points for Montbello, but the rest of the Warriors were held to a combined 19. For Monarch, Brooks is averaging 23 points per game after the first two contests of the season.
The Coyotes, who play five games in the first 10 days of the season, will return to action Monday at the Fairview Festival, where they’ll face Mountain Range at 3:30 p.m.
Monarch 55, Montbello 45
Stewart 3 2-6 8, Hayes 7 7-9 26, Cisse 2 1-2 5, Green 1 1-2 3, Hart 0 0-0 0, Griffin 1 0-2 2, Whitmore 0 0-0 0, Mosley 0 1-2 1, Carter 0 0-1 0. Totals 14 12-24 45.

Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend sues his estate over legal fees
NEW YORK : Ms Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend and long-time associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has sued the late financier's estate, seeking to recoup legal fees to defend against women's claims that she helped recruit them for his alleged sex-trafficking scheme.
In a complaint dated March 12 and filed with the Superior Court in the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein's estate is being probated, Ms Maxwell said she "had no involvement in or knowledge of Epstein's alleged misconduct", but the financier repeatedly promised to support her financially.
Ms Maxwell is also seeking reimbursement for security costs, saying she "receives regular threats to her life and safety", requiring her to hire personal security services and "find safe accommodation".
The estate was valued at US$636 million (S$922 million) before the recent global markets' plunge. Epstein owned two private islands in the Virgin Islands.
Ms Maxwell has kept a low profile, with even lawyers for some Epstein accusers unable to find her since the financier's arrest last July on charges that he abused and trafficked in women and girls from 2002 to 2005 in Manhattan and Florida.
Epstein, who pleaded not guilty, died on Aug 10 last year at age 66, five weeks after his arrest and two days after signing his will, by hanging himself in his Manhattan jail cell.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating others who may have had roles in his alleged misconduct.
The Oxford-educated Ms Maxwell, whose father was late British media publisher Robert Maxwell, said Epstein employed her from 1999 to 2006, when she managed homes in New York, Florida, New Mexico, Paris and the Virgin Islands.
She said their employment relationship "formed a legal and special relationship" that obligated the estate to indemnify her, and that one of its executors "made assurances" it would do so, but the estate has ignored her Nov 22 reimbursement claim.
The Guardian reported that the 58-year-old is said to have facilitated Epstein's social contacts, travelling with him on his private jet and organising dinners for powerful people at his homes. - REUTERS

Raytheon Company, Raytheon Health Benefits Plan, and the plan’s administrator have been named in a proposed class action lawsuit in which two parents allege the parties unlawfully denied coverage for their autistic son’s speech therapy. According to the suit, Raytheon’s benefits plan applies a blanket exclusion for “non-restorative speech therapy,” which the plaintiffs argue unfairly restricts mental health coverage in violation of the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (Parity Act).
The lawsuit explains that under the Parity Act, benefits plans that provide mental health coverage must ensure that limitations on such are “no more restrictive” than those applied to medical and surgical benefits. Raytheon, however, has allegedly excluded from its covered health benefits “non-restorative speech therapy,” “non-restorative ABA speech therapy,” and “habilitation services,” which the case argues affects only mental health treatment. The suit adds that despite these three exclusions, Raytheon does offer coverage for speech therapy related to medical or surgical procedures, such as when a plan participant or beneficiary suffers a stroke or physical injury.
The plaintiffs claim that although the defendants have never argued that speech therapy for their son’s autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was not medically necessary, the companies denied their claim for coverage based solely on the determination that the therapy was “non-restorative.” In other words, the suit says, Raytheon only covers speech therapy “to restore speech that was lost,” not speech that the company determines was not “previously intact,” regardless of whether the therapy is medically necessary. The case argues that the plan’s exclusion disproportionately restricts coverage for mental health treatment while providing “the same service” for those with non-mental health conditions.
“Based upon the plain language of the Plan document and [the plaintiffs’ son’s] administrative records, the only services that are subject to the Plan’s ‘non-restorative’ exclusions are services that are used to treat developmental mental health conditions, such as ASD,” the complaint alleges.
The plaintiffs claim that they and other similarly situated individuals have been forced to pay out of pocket for medically necessary speech therapy or “face the imminent threat that they will have to do so in the near future.” Others have been forced to forgo treatment altogether due to the defendants’ allegedly unlawful exclusions, the suit says.
The lawsuit proposes to cover a class of participants or beneficiaries under the Raytheon Health Benefit Plan that was in effect or renewed after January 24, 2014 and who “have received, require, or are expected to require services for the treatment of a qualified mental health condition” that is excluded under the plan’s “non-restorative speech therapy,” “non-restorative ABA therapy” or “habilitative services” exclusions.

Saudi urges 50pc capital boost for Arab lender
Riyadh, January 22, 2013
Saudi Arabia called for a minimum 50 per cent increase in the capital of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD), a leading Arab soft-loan development institution, and urged more commerce between Arab countries.
The website of the Kuwait-based fund states that as of December 31, 2011, the fund's capital stood at KD2 billion ($7.10 billion).
Owned by 21 Arab governments, the fund lends at low rates over 20 to 25 years mainly for power, water and communications projects.
"I invite the increase of capital to the Arab Fund for Economic Development by an increase not less than 50 per cent," Crown Prince Salman told an Arab economic summit in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
He said that the kingdom was ready to pay for its share in whatever increase was agreed by the fund's owners.
"The level of trade between our countries does not reflect our capabilities and aspirations, this requires for all of us to work hard to build the desired Arab economic integration," he said.-Reuters

This Ebola Vaccine Just Might Be 'The One'
Major names such as Johnson & Johnson and German and Spanish researchers have all been developing vaccines to treat Ebola with no success.
Thomas Geisbert, a virologist from the University of Texas Medical Branch, reported in the journal Nature that he may have created a vaccine alongside colleagues that shows a lot of promise.
Geisbert describes a vaccine made from a virus that commonly infects cows––called vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)––that’s had some of its genetic material replaced with genes for surface proteins from the Ebola virus.
None of the eight monkeys inoculated with the shot showed any signs of severe Ebola infection after being exposed to the virus 28 days later, while both of the control animals died of the disease seven and eight days after infection.
To address any possible safety concerns associated with this vaccine, the team developed two next generation candidate vaccines that contain further weakened forms of the vaccine.
Both of these vaccines produced an approximately ten-fold lower level of virus in the blood compared to the first generation vaccine.
"It was not known whether any of these vaccines could provide protection against the new outbreak West African Makona strain of Ebola Zaire currently circulating in Guinea," said John Eldridge, Chief Scientific Officer-Vaccines at Profectus Biosciences, Inc, which developed the vaccine with UTMB researchers.
"Our findings show that our candidate vaccines provided complete, single dose protection from a lethal amount of the Makona strain of Ebola virus," added Eldridge.
According to Time, human clinical trials may begin as soon as this summer.

‘Atlas Shrugged’ Opens in Theaters Tonight
Film adaptation seeks to stay true to Ayn Rand’s vision
NEW ORLEANS, La. – ‘Atlas Shrugged’, Ayn Rand’s 1957 magnum opus about a dystopian society where the government assumes increasing control over society, was released today as the first installment of a planned film trilogy.
Harmon Kaslow, executive producer of the film, states, “We’re lucky that the relevance of the book to what’s going on today has steadily increased over time.” Kaslow is referring to an audience who believe that the Obama Administration has emphasized government intervention as the solution to economic problems.
The film’s producer, entrepreneur and chairman of UM Holdings Inc., John Aglioloro, completed the film with an austere budget of $10 million. Shot in just 26 days and completed several months later, the film’s creation from start to finish took under a year.
According to Kaslow, the second installment of the film is set to go into production in June, with a release date in April 2012.

Recently i had purchased homemade Almond butter from Affs healthy kitchen, I tell you, i have fallen in love with it.
I wanted to try and use it in something other than slathering on my toast for my breakfast. Wanted to cook or bake something using it.
Best i could think of substituting it with butter or oil in baking. Since almond butter is become so dear to me, i was not mentally prepared to waste it.. hahaha
I decided to bake a small batch of banana bread, but i was using almond butter, i wanted to enhance the almond flavor in the bread.
I had some leftover almond meal in the freezer which i had brought for macrons, which by the way were total disaster. So decided to use them along with the flour. And for more of almond flavor, i used almond essence.
I have baked it two mini loaf pans, but this quantity will yield 4 regular size muffins.
Now that i have made this moist and flavorful bread or muffins, I totally regret making a small batch..
1 over ripe banana
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tbsp almond butter
5 tbsp all purpose flour
3 tbsp Almond meal/ flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 tsp almond/ vanilla
2 tbsp almond flakes
2 tbsp melted chocolate
Preheat oven to 170 deg C.
In a bowl, mash ripe banana with a fork and keep it aside for later use.
Sieve together flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon powder and salt. Keep it aside.
In stand mixer add sugar and egg and beat in medium speed till the sugar is dissolved. Add almond butter and mashed banana and beat again, mixture will still be lumpy due to mashed banana.
Gradually add flour mixture in two batches and stir until just combined. Don’t over stir it.
Grease the loaf pan or muffin tray and divide the mixture in prepared muffin tray or loaf pan. Drizzle melted chocolate and give a swirl, and also sprinkle almond flakes on top.
Place the tray in preheated. oven. Bake for 17-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the tops turn golden.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Moist and flavorful banana almond bread is ready to be sliced.

Stone seat above Svratka
It is one of the largest castle complexes in the Czech Republic, which was built gradually during almost eight hundred years of history. It was originally a small hunting lodge of Moravian margraves. It was first mentioned in 1213. Veveří as we know it, a real stone castle, was probably built before the middle of the 13th century. He held the position of the place of royal supervision over the settlement of the territory upstream of the river Svratka. The castle was enlarged after the middle of the 14th century during the reign of the Moravian Margrave Jan Jindřich – the younger brother of Emperor Charles IV.

Oops, I went a little overboard..........! You see, I was shopping at my local grocery this past week and saw the most beautiful lemons. I know this sounds crazy, but when I see really pretty produce, I think my heart actually beats a little faster. So, I took a closer look and then I saw the price - 10 for $10, yikes! I decided right then and there that, sadly, any lemon recipes would have to wait till the price came down a bit.
The next day, however, I stopped at Aldi and there I saw the same big gorgeous lemons, 5 in a bag, for 99 cents! Oh my, I couldn't help myself and bought 4 bags - this was just too good of a buy to pass up! I dragged them home and now I have "lemons, lemons, everywhere"!
Lemons Here, Lemons There, Lemons, Lemons Everywhere!
I am writing today to let you know that it is officially "Lemon Week" here at The Cafe´. So, all the recipes that I share this week will be featuring lemons in one form or another. The only problem is that I have been having quite a battle with myself over which recipes to include. See, I have
some, a bunch, a ton, well really a "gazillion" fantastic lemon recipes, both sweet and savory! I have been making lists, crossing-off, adding-on, etc. and I think I've finally come up with five winning selections! I'm hoping you'll be pleased, despite the fact that you are victims of my over zealous, "can't pass up a good buy" problem! (I believe that I have had this problem passed on from my dear sister, Dana who is the QUEEN of bargain shoppers!)
Today is the first day of spring so I just had to share this wonderful salad with you. It's not only beautiful to look at, but tastes beyond amazing! The bright lemon-shallot dressing is the perfect partner for the sweet strawberries and clementine oranges. The dried cranberries are combined with a just a bit of wine or liqueur and then briefly warmed to make them "come alive". (But please don't tell anyone I'm serving drunken cranberries!) The smooth and creamy blue cheese adds just enough "bite" to make your taste buds smile! You don't want to miss this salad.
I served it along side a wonderful pita pizza which I'll be sharing soon, once we get past this lemon obsession! It would also be delicious as a meal with grilled chicken, shrimp or whatever leftover meat you might have hanging around in your fridge.
P.S. When you see how incredibly simple it is to make this dressing (much easier than running to the grocery store) and how delicious it is, you may never want store-bought salad dressing again!
P.P.S. Did you know that pansies are edible? How fun is that?
Strawberry and Clementine Salad with Lemon-Shallot Dressing
3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (buy the best the you can afford - it makes a difference)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2-3 teaspoons honey
1 small shallot minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin oil oil
1. Place all ingredients except the oil in a medium size bowl and mix well. Add olive oil in a thin stream while whisking continuously. Let sit while preparing salad.
Strawberry and Clementine Salad
1 bag butter lettuce (you can substitute whatever type of lettuce you prefer - I like the butter or bib lettuce as it is fairly bland and allows the other strong flavors in the sald to shine.)
8-10 strawberries, halved, and then cut into 3 wedges
3 clementines, peeled and white membranes removed
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup drunken cranberries*
1/3-1/2 cup bleu cheese (I really like Point Reyes or Maytag but use whatever is your favorite, splurge a little on this ingredient if you can!)
Place lettuce in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with several tablespoons of dressing and toss with salad tongs or two forks. Keep adding dressing, a tablespoon at a time until lettuce is coated. Place strawberries, clementines, cranberries and onion in a small bowl. Add a teaspoon or two of dressing and toss to coat. Arrange fruit attractively on top of lettuce. Pass extra dressing at table. ENJOY!!!
Fill pint size or small jar with dried cranberries. Add 1 tablespoon white wine or Grand Marnier or Limoncello (orange and lemon flavoured liqueurs) Cover jar with a small piece of plastic wrap and place in microwave on high for 30 seconds. Let cool a bit before adding some of these to your salad. The rest will keep for weeks in the refrigerator, tightly cover. When you want to use some of them, just rewarm for 15-20 seconds in the microwave, again covered with a small piece of plastic wrap. The flavor that the small amount of wine or liqueur adds is amazing!
