As the Dallas Cowboys contemplate the future of the quarterback position in Dallas, they would be wise to consider the movability of Tony Romo.
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback controversy has now reached critical mass. In the absence of starting quarterback Tony Romo, Dak Prescott has set the league on fire, leading the Cowboys to a 5-1 record and breaking NFL records along the way.
It remains to be seen if the Dallas Cowboys will stick with their rookie sensation or defer back to the proven, but oft-injured, Tony Romo. Conversations like that are happening virtually everywhere right now. But something that must be considered in a decision making process is if a player like Tony Romo can even be traded. If he can, when and then what is his likely value?
So, let’s put the “who should start” argument aside for a moment. Instead, let’s focus on the overall movability of Tony Romo.
I’ve broken up “movability” into two sub categories:
- financial ramifications
- trade value
Tony Romo is currently playing on a 6 year/$108 million contract that runs through the 2019 season. Majority of the guaranteed money of this contract is still owed Romo, meaning it would be financially prohibitive to cut or trade Tony Romo this season. According to Sportrac.com, that prohibitive amount would be in excess of $40M (Total Dead Money).
the purpose of this is to look at movability rather than debate who is better.
Digesting such a hit ($40M) would be nearly-impossible for the Cowboys, thus making him unmovable in 2016. As such, any fantasies of trading him before the 2016 deadline for “the missing piece” operate slightly outside of reality.
But things change considerably after the 2016 season…
Moving Romo After 2016
If the Dallas Cowboys cut or traded Romo after the season, they would stand to gain a bit of spending cash. The Cowboys are due to owe him $24,700,000 in 2016. If they trade him they will have to eat $19,600,000 in dead money thus freeing $5.1M in cap space.
While digesting dead money is never a fun thing to do, if the Cowboys honestly felt they were better off at the QB position without Romo, $5.1M looks like free money. But again, the purpose of this is to look at movability rather than debate who is better.

The real saving will be seen in 2018 and 2019. With Tony Romo and his mammoth QB salary off the books, the Dallas Cowboys would have more than enough money on hand to re-sign their core personnel and be major players in free agency.
Dak Prescott will technically be playing on the cheap through the 2019 season. But if he proves to be everything we think he is, the Dallas Cowboys are sure to extend his deal prior to the 2019 season.
This essentially means the Dallas Cowboys will enjoy their riches for the 2018 season but must start facing reality again in 2019 when a QB will likely account for $25M+ per year.
The conclusion one can then draw is that by moving Romo in the offseason, the Cowboys will have plenty of spending cash to retain and upgrade their roster but it doesn’t necessarily give them a blank check for multiple years of carefree shopping (like some are suggesting).
The most recent QB appraisal we can reference is the trade that sent Sam Bradford to Minnesota. Bradford, a career tease, isn’t half the QB that Tony Romo is, yet he garnered the Eagles a first round pick when they sent him to the desperately desperate Minnesota Vikings.
It’s easy to say that since Bradford was worth one 1st round pick, Tony Romo should be worth at least two first round picks. And who’s to say Romo couldn’t, provided the Cowboys found a team desperate enough. But Romo has some things working against him that we all must understand. Romo is much older than Bradford (roughly six years his elder). And while Bradford is every bit as injury prone as Romo, the recent injury history makes Romo the much riskier option.
A mid-level first round draft pick isn’t out of the question, but anything more may require the word “conditional” attached to the draft pick. Let’s not over estimate the value of Tony Romo here, otherwise it could lead to some very poor decisions down the road. With that said, I feel pretty confident the Cowboys brass has a firm grip on reality here (By that I mean Will McClay).
The best chance at getting additional compensation for a risky player like Romo is asking for a player in return. It’s certainly not out of the question Tony Romo could net a 1st or 2nd round draft pick, plus a high risk/reward player in return.
At the end of the day the Dallas Cowboys will need to find out which quarterback is best for the 2016 Dallas Cowboys. As we can see, both are sure bets to remain on the team this season because trading Tony Romo doesn’t become a financial possibility until the offseason.
So let the debate on who to start the rest of the way begin…err…continue. Relentlessly.

For those of you thinking the NBA Finals are over with the Golden State Warriors up 2-0 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, think back to a year ago.
The Warriors got off to 2-0 lead then, also. Cleveland then won four of the next five games and walked away with the championship. (This is being written Wednesday morning, eight hours before game three starts.)
That’s not saying the Cavaliers are about to stage another comeback. Judging by how the Cavaliers have played in their first two games, I’m not sure they are capable of winning a game against Golden State right now, let alone two or three, but stranger things have happened in the NBA Finals.
After two games, though, it is easy to see that the Cavaliers can’t keep up with the Warriors. If they are to win a game they will have to slow down the Warriors.
That means passing the ball around and looking for a good shot while using as much of the 24-second clock as possible. Then the Cavaliers have to make that shot.
So far, only LeBron James and Kevin Love have been able to put the ball in the net consistently.
J.R. Smith, the Cavs, shooting guard, made the first basket of the series. He hasn’t scored since.
Point guard Kyrie Irving has made only 40 percent of his shots and has had only nine assists in two games.
Backup point guard Deron Williams hasn’t scored yet in the series and Kyle Korver has scored only eight points, all in game two.
Starting center Tristan Thompson has scored only eight points and added eight rebounds in the two games.
Steph Curry, the smallest player in the Warriors lineup, has more rebounds than Thompson.
The Cavaliers have tried to run with the Warriors in the first two games and lasted until early in the third quarter. If they are going to win more than a game they have to slow the tempo, which means not turning the ball over, and taking (and making) high percentage shots.
The Warriors have four all-star starters: Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The Cavaliers have three in James, Love and Irving.
The Cavaliers big three have scored 144 of the team’s 204 points so far. They need more help.
Curry and Durant have picked apart the Cavaliers defense in the first two games. After a nearly flawless first game when they only turned the ball over four times all night, the Warriors kicked it around a bit in game two, turning it over 20 times.
It didn’t matter.
Durant had 33 points, Curry added 32, Thompson had 22, Green had 12 and reserves Shaun Livingston and Ian Clark each added 10.
The Warriors have more depth and they’ve used it to full advantage in the first two games.
After setting an NBA record for most wins in a season last year, the Warriors are trying to make amends for losing the last three games of last year’s finals.
They also are chasing history again. They are the first team to win 14 consecutive playoff games in one year.
The Lakers in 2000-01 went 11-0 in sweeping the first three series to get to the finals. In game one of the finals against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Lakers, led by Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, were feeling a little full of themselves and let Alan Iverson go off for 48 points and the Lakers lost in overtime.
That woke Shaq and Kobe up and the Lakers swept the rest of the series for a 15-1 post-season record, the best postseason ever.
The Warriors can surpass that mark with a sweep of the Cavaliers, who have much more firepower than that Sixers team had.
That could be all the suspense we have left. Or the Cavaliers can get their act together and make this a rubber match worth watching.
ODDS AND ENDS: The Rose Bowl is finally joining the party and will start placing statues outside the stadium. The first selection is a natural for the Pasadena landmark: hometown hero Jackie Robinson.
Robinson was recently featured in the first statue unveiled at Dodger Stadium. That statue had him sliding into home plate.
The one outside the Rose Bowl will have Jackie in a football uniform. It will be installed right outside the Rose Bowl’s main gate and will be ready for unveiling some time this fall.
Robinson played at the Rose Bowl in 1937 and 1938 when he played at Pasadena City College. He then completed his football career at UCLA, which played in the Coliseum in those days.
Funds for the statue were donated by the Tull Family Foundation to Legacy Connections, the private nonprofit fundraising arm of the Rose Bowl. Thomas Tull was a producer of the 2013 film biography of Robinson, “42.”
Speaking of Jackie Robinson, UCLA has announced the creation of the Jackie R. Robinson Centennial Scholars Endowed Scholarships that will support students participating in the four sports Robinson played while attending the school.
The $1 million scholarship fund will offer support scholarships to students involved in men’s baseball, track-and-field, football and basketball.
The scholarship fund was created through donations by “local philanthropists” and funds from the UCLA Chancellor’s Centennial Scholars Match.
“Jackie Robinson was a difference-maker on so many levels, and he continues to inspire and touch the lives of generations to come,” UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said. “His famous quote — `A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives’ — could not ring more true, and these generous gifts are proof of that. To be able to honor his legacy while supporting the education of student-athletes its truly remarkable, and we are grateful to all those involved who made this happen.”
Robinson was a four-sport athlete at UCLA from 1939-41 before breaking the Major League Baseball color barrier in 1947.
Who are today’s favorite athletes among kids? According to nominations for the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports awards to be presented in July at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion, the favorite male athletes are soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt Jr., Chicago Cubs standout Kris Bryant, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots.
The most popular women athletes are tennis star Serena Williams, swimmer Katie Ledecky, soccer star Alex Morgan, skier Mikaela Shiffrin, gymnast Simone Biles and Los Angeles Sparks basketball star Nneka Ogwumike.
Online voting for the awards is at www.Nick.com. All told there are 14 voting categories.
There will be an unusual sight at the NASCAR race at Pocono, Pennsylvania, this weekend. The race will feature a black racer, Darrell Wallace Jr., only the eighth black driver to race in NASCAR’s top cup series.
Wallace is replacing the injured Aric Almirola
Wallace has been racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for car owner Jack Roush.
Wallace has five years of experience in the Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series, and has five wins and 20 top-five finishes.
The son of a white father and black mother, Wallace has been supported by his father, who owns a cleaning business, through most of his career.
He began driving for Joe Gibbs’ racing team in 2012.
At the Pocono track, he will be driving for Richard Petty Motosports, driving the familiar numer 43 car once driven by Petty himself.

A Few Isolated T-Storms Popping up this Afternoon
Today we start the day off with some limited hazy sunshine breaking through the clouds, but that will lead to a few isolated t-storms later into the day. Highs today will be ranging in the mid 80s with feel like temperatures getting near 90. Isolated t-storm chances continue throughout the week with plenty of heat and humidity settling into the Twin Tiers again. Real feels from Labor Day through Wednesday will remain in the upper 90s.


Following the Taliban’s nationwide ban on women working in UN offices, envoys will talk about the Taliban’s limitations on women.
A global gathering on Afghanistan is being organized by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in May in Doha, Qatar, where envoys will look for a “durable way forward” for the war-torn country.
According to Stephane Dujarric, a spokeswoman for the secretary general, Guterres will host the closed-door meeting on May 1-2, which will include special envoys on Afghanistan from various nations who hope to “clarify expectations” on issues such as the Taliban’s restrictions on women.
Dujarric told reporters at UN headquarters, “The goal of this sort of small group gathering is for us to revitalize the international involvement around the common objectives for a lasting solution to the situation in Afghanistan.
Guterres “continues to maintain that it’s a top priority to advance a strategy based on practicality and principles, combined with strategic perseverance, and to identify parameters for innovative, adaptable, principled, and constructive engagement”
The Taliban leadership’s participation in the negotiations was not yet certain.
Following a ban on Afghan women working for the United Nations, the mission in Afghanistan has begun an evaluation of its operations.
The declaration of the gathering in Qatar’s capital followed comments Monday by UN delegate secretary general Amina Mohammed, who addressed the possibility of the emissary’s social occasion to examine the “child steps” which could return the Taliban on the pathway to acknowledgment by the worldwide local area, yet with conditions appended.
“There are some who accept this can never occur. In a speech delivered at Princeton University, Mohammed stated, “Well, it has to happen.”
“We have leverage because the Taliban clearly want recognition,”
However, the spokesperson, Dujarric, emphasized on Wednesday that Mohammed “was not in any way implying that anyone else but member states have the authority for recognition” of the government of Afghanistan.
Last December, the UN General Gathering endorsed a choice to delay any endorsement of Kabul’s solicitation to certify another envoy addressing them at the UN, following the Taliban’s re-visitation of force in August 2021.
Dujarric said at Princeton that the UN representative secretary general – who is profoundly engaged with the issue – talked simply about “reaffirming the requirement for the global local area to have an organized methodology in regards to Afghanistan”.
He went on to say that “this includes finding common ground on the country’s longer-term vision” and “sending a unified message to the de facto authorities on the imperative to ensure women have their rightful place in the Afghan society.”
The Taliban’s ban on Afghan women working for UN offices nationwide on April 4 prompted Western criticism and a UN review of the organization’s operations in Afghanistan.

The pineapple fruit looks regal. Like the royalty of fruits, maybe the queen or the princess. Apart from it’s appealing physical properties, the pineapple is one highly nutritious fruit. The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit and the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae. The pineapple is indigenous to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. Pineapples grow as a small shrub; the individual flowers of the unpollinated plant fuse to form a multiple fruit. The plant is normally propagated from the offset produced at the top of the fruit, or from side shoot, and typically mature within a year.
The flesh and juice of the pineapple are used in cuisines around the world. In many tropical countries, pineapple is prepared and sold on roadsides as a snack. It is sold whole or in halves with a stick inserted.
Raw pineapple pulp is 86% water, 13% carbohydrates, 0.5% protein, and contains negligible fat. In a 100-gram reference amount, raw pineapple supplies 50 calories, and is a rich source of manganese (44% Daily Value, DV) and vitamin C (58% DV), but otherwise contains no micronutrients in significant amounts.
Health benefits of Pineapple
- Contains Enzymes that can ease digestion: Pineapples contain bromelain, a group of digestive enzymes that breaks down proteins. This may aid digestion, especially in those with pancreatic insufficiency.
- May Help Reduce the Risk of Cancer: Pineapple contains compounds that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are linked to cancer. One of these compounds is the enzyme bromelain, which may stimulate cell death in certain cancer cells and aid white blood cell function.
- Highly Nutritious: Pineapples are packed with a variety of vitamins and minerals. They are especially rich in vitamin C and manganese.
- Good source of antioxidants: Pineapples are a good source of antioxidants, which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Many of the antioxidants in pineapple are bound, so they may have longer lasting effects.
The juice from unripe pineapples can cause severe vomiting. Bromelain ingestion is associated with a low incidence of adverse reactions, including diarrhea, excess menstrual flow, nausea, skin rash, and vomiting. Swelling of the mouth and cheeks can result from eating large amounts of the fruit.
“Because pineapple is a great meat tenderizer, eating too much can result in tenderness of the mouth, including the lips, tongue and cheeks,” Flores said. “But, [it] should resolve itself within a few hours.” But if the feeling persists, or if you experience a rash, hives or breathing difficulties, you should seek medical help immediately, as you could have a pineapple allergy.

Brake fluid can serve as an acceptable alternative to paint stripper for removing paint from small metal or plastic objects. Brake fluid is commonly used in the wargaming and modeling community by modelers looking to remove an old paint job in preparation for a new one. The fluid, left in contact with the model for an extended time period, loosens the paint, breaking down the adhesion between the paint and the model. It’s a process that works well for lead and lead-free metal alloys, but do take care with plastic models as the fluid can cause softening in some types.
Things You'll Need
- Sealable glass jar
- Liquid soap
- Paper towel
- Brake fluid
- Rubber gloves
- Wooden toothpick
Video of the Day
Pour the brake fluid into a glass jar that’s large enough to hold the item you’re stripping. Pour enough brake fluid in the jar to fully submerge the item in liquid.
Wash the surface of the object with mild liquid soap and warm water to remove any dirt, debris or chemicals. Rinse it thoroughly in running water and then pat the object dry with a paper towel.
Submerge the item within the fluid in the jar. Place the cap on the jar and leave the item submerged in brake fluid.
Check the paint adhesion on the item after 12 hours to determine if the paint has pulled away from the object. Scrape the edge of the object with a wooden stir stick to see if the paint flakes away. If it does, remove the object from the fluid. Otherwise leave it in place for up to an additional 12 hours.
Put on a pair of rubber gloves for protection from the brake fluid. Pull the object from the jar when the paint easily flakes from the object.
Fill a small bowl with liquid soap. Dip the bristles of a toothbrush into the soap and then use the brush to scrub away the loosened paint from the object. Scrape paint from hard to reach areas using the tip of a wooden toothpick.
Rinse the brake fluid residue from the object with cold water.
Submerge the object back in the same jar of brake fluid if paint remains. Soak it for an additional 12 hours and repeat the scrubbing process afterward.

Homefront: The Revolution‘s Senior Narrative Designer, CJ Kershner, has a suggestion to make; “Forget anything you remember about the first Homefront.” What Kershner, who also worked on the original game, means to say is that the upcoming title is not “Homefront 2” and that “everything” is new. In an interview with MCV UK, he said:
Everything is new for Homefront: The Revolution. It’s a new team, new publisher, new style of gameplay, new backstory…
We’ve gone back to the core concept of Homefront – a fallen occupied America with a North Korean military presence and civilian resistance movement – and expanded it out by 360 degrees. Dambuster is making its own unique mark on the name of Homefront, so anything that you remember or know about the first game: forget it now. It’s not a continuation of that story or that style of gameplay. There’s a reason we don’t call it Homefront 2.
The first question that pops in our heads is why Dambuster would want to retain the “Homefront” title instead of calling it something different, and according to Kershner, it’s because “There’s power in that core premise of being a guerrilla fighter and fighting in your own neighbourhoods against a technologically and numerically superior military force.”
So what should we expect from Homefront: The Revolution? Lots of chaos, unscripted gun battles, and a strong story that sees players moving among civilians, sabotaging infrastructure, and encouraging people to fight against occupation. “By taking it open-world and setting it in Philadelphia, we can bring that guerrilla style of both the shock and awe to the game,” says Kershner.

Lazar Kaganovich had the ideal biography for a Bolshevik: he came from the very bottom of society and achieved everything himself. He was born into a Jewish family in a village not far from Kiev. The family had many children, and they lived in abject poverty. From the age of 14, Lazar worked in factories, as a loader and shoemaker.

Jews in the Russian Empire faced many restrictions: they faced severe limits to be accepted into state schools, as well as universities; they were for the most part only allowed to live in western Russia where their ancestors had lived for centuries, and were unable to freely move around the empire; and some professions were off-limits. Driven by these injustices, Lazar became friends with revolutionaries, took part in rallies (for which he was kicked out of his job) and in 1911 joined the Bolshevik Party. In 1916, he set up an underground Shoemakers' Union.
In 1917, Kaganovich was 23 and was heavily involved in revolutionary activity, setting up Bolshevik cells in Ukraine and Belarus. He had such an influence on Party work in the provinces that he was soon put on the list of delegates for the Congress of Soviets in Petrograd.
There he met Lenin. Kaganovich recalled that when he was addressing a congress of army organizations, he voiced a firm position on the issue of land nationalization, thus winning the soldiers' support for the Bolsheviks. Lenin noted it and entrusted Kaganovich with a very important post - head of the agitation department in the new Red Army that was formed at the time.

Kaganovich continued to engage in agitation throughout the Civil War. After Bolshevik power was firmly established, he was entrusted with another responsible position - head of the organization and distribution department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party; thus, effectively becoming the party's "supply manager". He came up with the idea of compiling lists of party positions, thus creating the famous Soviet nomenklatura.
In 1925, Lazar's career reached a new high. After Lenin's death, gathering his allies around him, Stalin nominated him for the post of general secretary of the party's Central Committee in Ukraine. Kaganovich's task was to develop the industrial sector, and he acted decisively. One of the priorities for the young Soviet state was coal mining, but the industry was plagued by accidents, and, overall, was unable to cope with the new tasks of industrialization. In 1928, Kaganovich initiated the Shakhty Trial, in which heads of several Donbass mines were accused of sabotage and sentenced to death, and several dozen managers were imprisoned.
That same year (1928), Stalin put Kaganovich in charge of another important task, that of strengthening collective and state farms, and putting an end to kulaks, wealthy peasants who had unearned income and themselves employed hired labor.

In 1932, a campaign was launched to increase the amount of grain collected for the state stockpile. Peasants were obliged to hand over most of their grain to the state so that it could provide the entire country with bread at the same price. The amount of harvested grain was greatly exaggerated, and given the poor harvest and grain exports, many villages were unable to meet the targets imposed on them. Kaganovich introduced the practice of "black boards", essentially "black lists", of villages that failed to meet the target for the amount of grain collected. These villages were deprived of the right to trade, were not granted loans, and were deprived of basic consumer goods. In addition, they became the target of particularly zealous searches for “hostile elements” and their residents were arrested for their alleged guilt in the village's failure to fulfil the plan.
In effect, these villages were left to starve. This policy is believed to have led to severe famine in many regions of the USSR, including Ukraine, and Ukrainian historians refer to these events as the Holodomor. In present-day Ukraine, the Soviet Communist Party's actions in the country are qualified as genocide. In 2009, Ukraine launched a criminal case against Kaganovich and other Party leaders.
In 1934, Stalin appointed Kaganovich as People's Commissar (i.e. minister) of Railways. Now his task was to sort out the transport sector, which was in a state of chaos, with frequent railway accidents. Kaganovich was once again true to his tough reputation, introducing personal responsibility – and reprisals - for each accident. But he managed to bring order to railway operations: trains stopped being late and began to run on schedule. During World War II, Kaganovich organized an effective evacuation of entire cities and factories by railway.

He also came up with the idea of creating a children's railway to train future railway staff. A small railway line fully operated by children still exists in Kratovo outside Moscow.
In addition to working in the People's Commissariat of Railways, Kaganovich also headed the Party's Moscow branch. In 1935, Stalin approved a general plan for the reconstruction of Moscow and appointed Kaganovich in charge of its implementation.
With the number of residents and cars steadily on the rise, Moscow needed to have its roads widened and new houses built. Muscovites particularly resented Kaganovich for pulling down the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, in whose place a huge Palace of Soviets was supposed to be built.
The explosion of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, 1931Public domain
In the book Thus Spoke Kaganovich by Felix Chuyev, based on interviews with the man recorded over the course of five years, Kaganovich said that the proposal to demolish the cathedral had come from the Union of Architects, that it were the architects, including the famous Alexei Shchusev, who said that the cathedral did not present any artistic value.
“They say that I destroyed valuable buildings in Moscow. It is a lie. I will not try to justify myself, because it never happened. We walked around the city together, selecting buildings that hindered traffic,” Kaganovich recalled. The Cathedral of Christ the Savior was rebuilt in its original place in the 1990s.
Among other things, the general plan for the reconstruction of Moscow envisaged the construction of the metro. A reporter for the newspaper, Vechernyaya Moskva [Evening Moscow], A. V. Khrabrovitsky, said that Kaganovich had visited Berlin to see how the metro had been built there, and upon his return, he allegedly told Stalin: “In Berlin, entrances to the metro stations are just holes in the ground, whereas we should have beautiful pavilions.”
Kaganovich personally went underground to inspect the process of construction, supervised the entire project and approved station designs. According to some eyewitness accounts, workers building the metro were very fond of the efficient and business-like Kaganovich, and he, in turn, remembered all the foremen by name.

On May 15, 1935, the first metro line was opened: it ran from Sokolniki station to Okhotny Ryad station with a branch line to Park Kultury and Smolenskaya. Until 1955, the metro was even named after Kaganovich, although later it was renamed after Vladimir Lenin.
Incidentally, Kaganovich also launched the first Soviet trolleybus line in Moscow.
Kaganovich was a diehard communist and Stalinist, and sincerely believed that repression was necessary for maintaining order and achieving results. At a senior Party meeting in 1937, Kaganovich delivered an extensive speech in which he spoke about the importance of combating "saboteurs". According to him, "Japanese-German-Trotskyist agents" and spies were active in many industrial sectors and in the construction and operation of railways.

As a key measure to deal with the problem, Kaganovich proposed arresting all "saboteurs". "Of course, we must first of all eradicate them, exposing all of them to the last, and there should be no tears over arrests of innocent people - so far, there have been very few of them, almost none."
That year the Great Terror began. Extrajudicially, “lists” of people to be subjected to reprisals were compiled with the personal sanction of the party leadership. According to Memorial, an organization that documents the crimes of the Soviet regime, Kaganovich's signature was on 188 such lists, under which 19,000 people were executed.

In 1941, a case was opened against Kaganovich's brother, Mikhail, who was the people's commissar of the aviation industry and was suspected of "an association with enemies of the people". Rumors were circulating that Lazar had not interceded for his brother and had sided with Stalin. Lazar himself denied this in several interviews, insisting that he had told Stalin directly that it was a lie and had asked that his brother be given an opportunity to confront his accusers. Without waiting for his arrest, Mikhail Kaganovich shot himself.
“We were guilty of going over the top, we thought there were more enemies than there actually were,” Lazar said in an interview. “If we had not destroyed this fifth column, we would not have won the war. We would have been smashed to smithereens by the Germans."
Without a formal education, Kaganovich became one of the country's most senior officials. Contemporaries said that he was quite well-read but at the same time he made many grammar and spelling mistakes in writing. But Stalin valued his other qualities: diligence, thrift and loyalty.
“Having reread my letter, I see that I did not fulfil your instruction to master punctuation. I started, but failed to continue, yet despite all my workload it can be done. I will try to make sure that my subsequent letters have commas and full stops in them," Kaganovich wrote to Stalin in 1931. Indeed, he fulfilled this instruction, as he unquestioningly fulfilled Stalin's other orders.
Lazar Kaganovich and Joseph StalinLegion Media
Kaganovich considered Stalin to be a great man, and he first started calling him the Leader (as well as the Master, the Great Friend, and Parent). In many speeches, he spoke of the people's love for Stalin.
In 1987, the book, The Wolf of the Kremlin, was published in America. Its author, Stuart Kahan, presented himself as Lazar Kaganovich's nephew. He said he had visited Kaganovich at his home and talked with him, after which he wrote the book that was also based on family archives. In the book, among other things, he claimed that one of the reasons why Kaganovich and Stalin were so close was that Kaganovich's sister was allegedly Stalin's mistress after the death of his wife, Nadezhda Alliluyeva. Kaganovich denied it, and after his death his relatives said Stuart Kahan was not his nephew and had never visited them.
In the final years of Stalin's life, Kaganovich no longer counted among his favorites. That eminent place was instead occupied by the Khrushchev-Malenkov-Beria troika. Yet, it was thanks to Kaganovich and his patronage that Khrushchev owed his career. Lazar orignally recruited him, a simple worker from Ukraine, to supervise the construction of the Moscow Metro and the restructuring of Moscow.

“I had a weakness for the promotion of workers because at the time there were very few capable ones. He was a capable worker, no doubt about that,” Kaganovich said. He believed that Khrushchev's head was turned when he was appointed Secretary of the Party's Central Committee.
Kaganovich supported Beria's arrest and execution, but he was against Khrushchev's speech denouncing Stalin's crimes and personality cult. In 1957, Khrushchev strengthened his position in power, declaring that Kaganovich, together with Malenkov and Molotov, had formed an “anti-party group”, removed him from all posts and “exiled” him to the Urals to head a mining and processing plant.
In 1961, Kaganovich suffered two serious blows: he was expelled from the Party, and his wife died. During the Thaw, when Stalin's crimes became public knowledge, everyone turned their backs on Kaganovich. There were even rumors that when he was lying in hospital medical staff refused to give him proper care.
A former people's commissar and a close associate of Stalin, Kaganovich lived on a paltry pension in a modest Moscow apartment. He did not have a government car or a dacha, or any serious savings to leave to his children. But for him it was a cause for pride, since he believed that this was how a communist should live one's life.

Kaganovich lived long enough to witness Perestroika and Glasnost, wrote letters asking to reinstate him in the Party, and to the very end continued to believe in Stalin. He died in 1991, aged 97, just a couple months before the collapse of the USSR.

Today, the seamless integration of technology and information has spread into nearly every aspect of our daily lives, and healthcare is no exception. The emergence of social media platforms, podcasts, and a myriad of online sources has empowered individuals with unprecedented access to health-related information, enabling them to make informed decisions about their well-being. The influx of information distributed provides people with a wealth of insights, experiences, and advice from individuals all over the world. What is the impact on healthcare choices and what could it mean for the future of the industry?
Pros and Cons of Active Use of Social Media in Healthcare
Social media platforms have become indispensable tools for disseminating health-related information and creating online communities where individuals can share their experiences and seek advice. One of the significant advantages of social media in healthcare is its ability to reach a large audience instantaneously, breaking down geographical barriers and connecting individuals from diverse backgrounds. Patients can access support groups, engage with healthcare professionals, and participate in discussions about various health topics.
Social media facilitates health education and awareness campaigns, helping individuals to be proactive with their well-being. It serves as a platform for healthcare organisations to share insights, expose myths, and promote healthy behaviours. Additionally, advocates are given a platform to raise awareness about different health topics.
However, the unregulated nature of social media also poses challenges in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of health information. A recently published article highlighted that while some individuals use such information to guide themselves toward appropriate care, others rely on it for self-diagnosis and self-treatment. The proliferation of misinformation can lead to confusion and potentially harmful practices.
Privacy concerns also arise regarding the sharing of personal health information and the influence of targeted advertisements on healthcare decisions.
The Influence of Online Sources
The internet has changed the way individuals access healthcare information, with multiple online sources ranging from reputable medical websites to user-generated forums. Patients can research symptoms, treatment options, and healthcare providers from the comfort of their homes, allowing them to take a more active role in managing their health.
While patients can access peer-reviewed articles, medical journals, and clinical studies, the abundance of online information can be overwhelming, leading to information overload. Patients may struggle to go through the large amounts of data and discern reliable sources from suspicious ones. Additionally, the lack of context and personalised guidance inherent in online research can lead to downplaying symptoms, inappropriate treatment choices, or unwarranted panic.
The integration of social media and online sources has profoundly impacted healthcare choices, offering both opportunities and challenges for individuals and healthcare professionals. While these digital platforms provide patients access to information, communities to connect with, and help them to manage their health autonomously, the information should be approached critically to ensure the reliability of the information obtained.
Looking ahead, the future holds tremendous potential for social media platforms and online sources to further benefit patients and healthcare professionals. With advancements in technology and increased emphasis on evidence-based practices, these digital resources can serve as tools for providing health information, facilitating remote consultations, and enhancing patient engagement. Collaborative efforts between healthcare providers and digital platforms can lead to the development of innovative solutions for healthcare delivery and management.
By leveraging the strengths of digital platforms and embracing continuous improvement, social media, and online sources can play an even more significant role in improving healthcare outcomes for individuals and communities worldwide.

The issue of home grow –either for medical or recreational use – has been a hotly debated issue as cannabis legalization becomes real in more and more places around the world.
There are several reasons for this. The first is that growing at home is one of those slippery slopes for those who are doing the initial rule writing. Cannabis could end up in the wrong hands (children or the black market). Those who are using it medically might not be growing it properly or using harmful pesticides. In some places, the legalizing industry has seen both private grows and collective non-profit grows as direct competition – even if for medical use.
In places like the Netherlands and Spain right now, collective private grows are one of the main places that regulation has never penetrated. This is a grey area – and deliberately so. In the United States, states like Colorado wrestled with this conundrum even before 2014. In Germany right now, this is also a controversial issue.
Patients won the right to grow at home several years ago if they could prove that they could not afford to buy cannabis through a pharmacy. As the drug was not covered by health insurance, this meant an out of pocket cost every month of close to $2,200. Five patients took the German government to court and won the right to grow at home for medical use. Now, however, that right appears to be curtailed as the country moves to put the drug under health insurance.
Chile, however, appears to be on a slightly different path. And if it is successful, it might well provide a new kind of model for other governments as the issue of who pays for access and how much becomes better defined, parsed and understood.
The History of Legalization in Chile
Chile has not really been at the forefront of global marijuana reform. The small strip of a country on the western coast of South America legalized the drug for medical use in 2015. At the time it was also following a wave of other Latin and Central American countries who are also beginning to legalize the drug. This is happening on two fronts. One is because of medical efficacy. The other, however, is part of a concertedly different approach to the drug war from the other side of America’s southern border.
As a result, cannabis reform here is seen as a doubly important public health issue.
This, in turn, has begun to influence how the industry develops here.
In May of this year, Chile’s pharmacies became the first to sell marijuana concentrate as a medicine of any of the legalizing countries around it.
The Chilean Congress is now also considering a bill to explicitly let people grow the plant at home for medical purposes.
It appears to be the first time a national sovereign government has considered this issue specifically.
Why this Approach and Why Now?
It is unclear why Chile has decided to go forward with home grow legalization specifically. It could be that the country’s decision-makers have realized that the early crops the country has already planted will not be enough to supply the entire country. Further, infrastructure, such as health insurance and medical services, are not comprehensive. Legalizing the right of patients to take care of themselves relieves a huge burden on the state.
Unlike Argentina, which has begun importing CBD oil from the United States, Chile has appeared to be far more self-sufficient in providing the drug to its populace.
However, this also could be a way to sidestep onerous compliance provisions. The distribution via regular licensed pharmacy model is one that is still very new. In every country where this is in the process, pharmacies, in particular, are finding themselves on the end of a potential nightmare, with requirements entering into force, with no easy way to meet them.
Israel, Canada, and Germany are all countries who are dealing with the issue right now as well. In Germany, cannabinoid flower has been available for several years from regular pharmacies. This is about to get a modernization as 10 more licensed producers enter the market.
In Israel, a modern commoditized market with national distribution to chain drug stores is still in process and has been on the table for at least several years. However, the decision to even allow this in the first place was pushed through by the overwhelming bottlenecks in other forms of distribution. Originally Israelis had to go to special cannabis clinics. This requirement is also now a regulation for the history books.
In Canada, much of the bottleneck and compliance issues faced by pharmacies elsewhere are alleviated by the ability to ship straight to the consumer. It is only this year that the country, like Canada, will begin to see mainstream chain drug stores carrying cannabis.
So what does that mean about Chile’s home grow decision in the offing?
Bottom line it could be a smart way to alleviate supply chain issues, not to mention increase medical access as established systems are implemented globally.
And that is cause for cheer among patients.

In this day and age it is interesting to see our good old friend, the manual timesheet, still being used in many labour intensive businesses. Manual timesheets can be an effective, if inefficient, way to record time as long as there are sufficient controls in place through the various stages of the process. However, if not carefully controlled, there are points in the process where error or fraud may occur.
Stuart Petrie, Private Client Tax Senior Manager at AAB, explains the benefits of business protection arrangements.
The trading environment over the past 12 months has been challenging for a large number of companies. Given the falling oil price and impact of the wider economy, raising capital to facilitate long-term growth will not have been at the forefront of management discussions.
Outsourcing your payroll run can help reduce errors. At the same time, it can ensure you comply with ever-more complex regulations.
Employees are fundamental to the success of any organisation; attracting and retaining key individuals is challenging. More than any process or procedure people create value in business, therefore the creation of motivation and drive in these challenging economic times could prove to be the key to success.

Delay in sanction may see 'cash for post' Kumar set free on bail
Suspended Railway Board member Mahesh Kumar
Railway Board Member (staff) Mahesh Kumar, one of the accused in the railway cash-for-post scam, may get automatic bail unless the railway ministry gives the prosecution sanction to the CBI within the next 24 hours.
The two-month deadline for filing chargesheet in the case by the CBI ends on July 3 and unless the investigative agency fails to file its chargesheet by then, the 10 accused in the case, including Kumar, will get automatic bail.
The scam has already cost senior Congress leader Pawan Kumar Bansal his job as railway minister.
Sources said the agency is ready with the draft chargesheet and will be able to file it in court without any delay but before that it needs the railway minister's prosecution sanction.
The agency had sought the sanction last week. Bansal had to quit as railway minister when his nephew Vijay Singla was arrested for allegedly receiving bribe money from an associate of Kumar on May 3.
Singla and Kumar were booked as main conspirators in the bribery case. During the course of the investigation, the CBI had questioned Bansal and arrested as many as 10 people, including Bansal's nephew and the railway board member.
The case relates to alleged lobbying by Kumar for his elevation as member (electrical) in the Railway Board, for which he allegedly contacted Sandeep Goyal, a close associate of Singla.
Goyal allegedly demanded Rs10 crore for getting the job done. Kumar was promoted from General Manager (West) to Member (Staff) in the Railway Board, a post which he was apparently not very interested in.
He then allegedly asked Goyal to help him retain the additional charge of General Manager (West) for which the middleman demanded Rs2 crore as payment.
The CBI alleged that Rs90 lakh was delivered to Singla as part payment.

Mersey flood defence construction continues
The Environment Agency started work this month on the second phase of £23m flood defences in Warrington.
The flood alleviation scheme involves construction of walls and embankments along the River Mersey and its tributaries that will reduce the risk of flooding to over 2,000 homes and businesses.
The first phase at Knutsford Road and Victoria Park in Latchford completed last year and was tested by the tidal surge on 5 December and worked successfully, protecting 1,500 properties.
Work on the second phase in Howley is scheduled to be completed by November 2014 and will include new flood walls and road ramps from Riverside Retail Park to Howley Lane.
In April, there will be additional work undertaken to protect a power substation upstream of Howley subject to planning approval.
A third phase of construction in Cinnamon Brow, Padgate, Latchford East (Westy), Twiggeries and Woolston is scheduled to begin later this year and last into 2015.
Warrington is at risk from tidal and river flooding and has records of flooding dating back to 1767. The most significant recent flood events were in February 1990 and October/November 2000. In February 1990, the River Mersey overtopped its banks flooding Knutsford Road and properties in Westy, Latchford, Howley, Arpley Bridge and Lower Walton.

A resolution by a World Trade Organisation conference to eliminate agricultural export subsidies is good news for New Zealand. We may believe it when we see it, but it is good to see the subject is alive again in the WTO. The world body has taken a back seat in the drive for more liberal and binding trade rules since the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations gained momentum. The Doha Round proved the global organisation had become too big and diverse to carry the task of trade liberalisation on its own. New Zealand led the way in opening an alternative track to free trade in regional agreements. The successful conclusion of the TPP has revived Europe's interest in a transatlantic agreement and now, it seems, the WTO has been spurred to action.
Agricultural trade barriers are a good problem for the Geneva-based body to take on. The powerful "Brics" (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) that stymied the Doha Round may be less protective of farm exports than of investment, services and other subjects of the round. Agricultural subsidies are typically instruments of wealthy industrial economies that can afford to prop up traditional rural communities, and do so for reasons of sentiment and scenery rather than economic advancement. When subsidies enable their farmers to put products on world markets below cost, it is less developed economies that suffer most.
New Zealand is a successful exporter of farm products against subsidised local production in many of its markets but stands to gain greatly if the practice can be prohibited by an eventual global agreement. Our agriculture leaders have greeted a decision at a meeting in Nairobi at the weekend as if it is binding on WTO members. Fonterra's chairman John Wilson said, "The Nairobi outcome takes global trade rules one essential step towards a level playing field for dairy trade." Federated Farmers national president William Rolleston said, "We hope there are more deals of this nature to come from the WTO."
Our new Trade Minister, Todd McClay, noted export subsidies on industrial goods had been illegal for 50 years. Failure to agree on the same rule for agriculture at the weekend, he said, would have been "nothing short of disastrous". Mr McClay will get used to some disappointments on that scale, but it is encouraging that the first global trade ministers' meeting he has attended has produced a promising result.
It is not clear how this agreement will bind WTO member countries. The world's top 21 food- producing countries pay subsidies totalling $722 billion a year, according to a Worldwatch Institute survey last year. Some of the worst offenders, notably Canada and Japan, are in the TPP agreement, which was destined to disappoint food exporters from the moment they entered the negotiations. But the New Zealand Government calculated it was worth settling for a disappointing TPP for the sake of progress towards free trade generally. Its calculation seems to be right. The TPP has left room for the WTO to regain the leading role in trade liberalisation. Just as the Cairns group of farm producers pressed strongly for the Doha Round, we may see momentum build from Nairobi for another tilt at a global fair deal for agriculture. Here's hoping.

For example, you can try a game of “guess the group member” through which each member of a group has to pick a personal truth and clarify why. The activity can last for a few minutes or perhaps several times, and it’s a terrific way to make your group talk and pay attention to about the other person.

Three children in Texas are safe after being inadvertently kidnapped when a man stole an idling vehicle from a gas station in Houston.
Surveillance footage caught the impromptu vehicle-cum-child theft. A man in a grey hoodie jumps out of one car and into a woman’s running CRV before darting off in the compact Honda SUV–apparently unaware he’s got the woman’s kids in tow.
Corena Thomas, the mother in question, told the local ABC affiliate that she “instantly freaked out” when she realized what had happened. She said the kids were asleep in the car when she ran into the store–and that the whole process of jumping out of the car and swiftly though briefly losing her children took only two minutes.
The Houston Police Department responded to the incident–initially called in as a vehicle theft–outside of a Shell service station at around 2:30 a.m.
Luckily, for everyone involved from that point forward, the children–aged 4, 7, and 8–were discovered roughly two hours later just outside of a strip mall.
According to police, a maintenance worker caught sight of the parked vehicle full of sleeping children as he was outside cleaning. The worker then rushed over to alert a nearby cop who was searching the strip mall itself. The officer was then able to identify both the missing car and the children inside of it.
The children were verifiably unharmed–after undergoing a quick check-up by medical personnel with the Houston Fire Department as they were being returned to their mother. Now, Corena Thomas is just happy to have her kids back. She said, “As soon as they called me I rushed up here right away to make sure they’re okay. I just want my kids.”
The suspect has yet to be located.

Passionate about service
Meant to Live: Keynote speaker shows a passion for service and nursing
When Charleen Tachibana, ’77, first stepped on to the Pacific Lutheran University campus, she knew she had found a place that felt like home. Tachibana had moved out to the Northwest from the Midwest when she was 13 years old.
The fit was a bit awkward, Tachibana remembers, taking a break from her busy day as senior vice president and chief nursing officer at Virginia Mason Hospital and Medical Center in Seattle.
“It was amazing on campus, and it was wonderful,” she said. On campus “it just felt like home, it was friendly, people smiled…it wasn’t what I had experienced my last six years in junior high and high school.” Her time at PLU, Tachibana adds, was simply a time to grow up. PLU’s nursing program was largely self-paced then, and taught her discipline and focus.
“That is huge when you get into life,” she says, “you need to know how to manage your life without your parents telling you what to do.”
Tachibana is the keynote speaker at the “Meant to Live” program during PLU’s Homecoming 2011, which begins on Tuesday and runs through Sunday, Oct 16. When she graduated with her nursing degree at PLU, Tachibana then started as a nurse at Virginia Mason – a hospital where she would spend her entire career.
“I was blessed in finding an organization with a value system that matched my own,” she says. “This job is my vocation, and I haven’t had any reason to move on to another organization.”
After starting work at Virginia Mason in 1977, she rose through the ranks until she reached her current position in July 2007. As the chief nursing officer, Tachibana oversees 1,000 nurses, providing support so they can do their jobs. Tachibana has taken several trips to Japan to study their management techniques, and has returned to Virginia Mason more energized than ever.
“Those trips had a huge impact on my leadership journey,”she says. The Toyota system focuses on a fast-paced work environment, but also one where leaders are expected to be open with their employees.
And advice for newly-minted nurses? Prepare yourself for change, Tachibana says. In fact, embrace it. “You have to keep your mind open to what society needs and to learn new things,” she says.
Looking back as to why she entered nursing, Tachibana, 56, says she actually started thinking about nursing as a career during her senior year in high school. She knew she wanted a career and healthcare and nursing seemed to fit.
And since Tachibana loved to study, and loved working with people, becoming a nurse and going to college – the first in her family to do so – took hold. It didn’t take long before Tachibana discovered that this was her life’s passion. Still, she didn’t realize the impact nursing could have on an individual’s life until she began working closely with patients. Nursing has a tremendous opportunity to impact the lives of others by offering support and care at their most vulnerable moments, she said.
“It’s kind of what keeps me going.”

Korena of Korena in the Kitchen was our May Daring Bakers’ host and she delighted us with this beautiful Swedish Prinsesstårta!
Do you want to know what Prinsesstårta is? It is a dome-shaped cake consisting of a light sponge, a fruit jam, vanilla custard and whipped cream – and covered in green marzipan. They say, the original recipe was created in the 1930s by a Swedish home economics teacher named Jenny Åkerström, who taught the three Swedish princesses of the time. She published a series of four cookbooks called “The Princess Cookbooks” and in one of the editions, there was a recipe for “Grön Tårta” (green cake). One story is that this later became known as “princess cake” (prinsesstårta) because the three princesses are said to have loved it so much. Another story is that Ms. Åkerström actually created three very elaborate “princess cake” recipes – a different one for each princess – and that the current version is a simplified combination of all three.
I’ve decided to make a modified version of Prinsesstårta – with raspberry pate de fruit, lemon custard and lemon flavoured chocolate plastique. I assembled the cake upside down in a bowl (which I find to be a more comfortable way of dealing with dome-shaped cakes) and decorated it with freeze-dried raspberry powder and fresh raspberries.
A classic combination of raspberries and lemon in a form of a Prinsesstårta was impeccable. Thank you, Korena, for telling us about this beautiful cake from Swedan!
1 tbsp lemon zest
100 gm castor sugar
120 gm flour
Raspberry pate de fruit
200 gm raspberry puree
5 gm pectin
200 gm castor sugar
40 gm liquid glucose
10 gm citric acid solution
1 cup milk
4 egg yolks
3 tbsp castor sugar
1 tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp cornstarch
300 gm heavy cream
50 gm icing sugar
300 gm lemon-flavoured chocolate
30 gm liquid glucose
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp freeze-dries raspberry powder
¼ cup fresh raspberries
1. For lemon sponge preheat the oven to 180C. Line and grease 20 cm round cake tin. Beat the eggs with lemon zest and castor sugar until light and creamy, slowly add the sifted flour. Pour into prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the sponge cool down completely, then cut it horizontally into three pieces.
2. For raspberry pate de fruit put the raspberry puree in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to 60C. Combine the pectin and 20 gm of sugar, then add to the raspberry puree. Bring the mixture to the boil and then add the extra sugar and liquid glucose to it. Let the temperature reach 106C. Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the citric acid solution. Pour the raspberry mixture into a 18cm round silicon mould. Let it cool, then transfer it to the fridge.
3. For lemon custard heat milk until it almost comes to the boil. Beat the egg yolks with sugar, lemon zest and cornstarch. Slowly add the hot milk. Return the mixture to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring, until it is thick enough to cover the back of a wooden spoon. Pour into a bowl, cover with clingfilm, pressing it firmly to the surface of the custard, and let it cool completely. Keep it in the fridge until you need it.
4. For crème Chantilly whisk the cold cream together with the icing sugar until soft peaks are formed.
5. For assembling the cake line a bowl with clingfilm. Take the first piece of lemon sponge, cut it into pieces and line the prepared bowl with it. Fill the “dome” with Crème Chantilly. Spread half of the prepared custard over it. Cover with the second piece of sponge (trim the edges to make it fit). Spread the remaining custard. Remove pate de fruit out of form and place it over the custard. Cover with the third piece of sponge. Place the bowl in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
6. For chocolate plastique melt the lemon-flavoured chocolate, then stir in the liquid glucose. Place the mixture onto a baking paper, cover with a cling film and roll into a disk.
7. Remove the cake from a bowl by flipping it onto a plate. Cover with chocolate plastique. Dust with icing sugar. Decorate with fresh and freeze-dried raspberries.
You can find lemon-flavoured chocolate within Barry Callebaut range. It is exactly of the green colour!

I’m like a thermostat – as quickly because the temperatures dip underneath 20C I flip my oven on and get started roasting. It’s a transfer I look ahead to flipping yearly. Time in a scorching oven transforms food – concentrating and deepening its flavours, caramelising it and developing crispy surfaces, whilst cooking gently sufficient to slowly deliver proteins to the easiest temperature. All that and, excluding the occasional toss, as soon as the meals is within the oven, it slightly wishes consideration. This recipe showcases how roasting, blended with some stovetop cooking, simply turns on a regular basis elements right into a spectacularly flavourful, nourishing, autumnal meal.
To start out, you set wedges of candy apple and shallot on a baking tray, toss with slightly oil and salt, and cook dinner till they’ve turn into cushy, candy and wonderfully browned. Including a touch of balsamic vinegar about 10 mins prior to they’re achieved imbues them with a carefully tangy glaze.
Whilst the apples and shallots cook dinner, your fingers are loose to coat a lean pork tenderloin with mustard and herbs, then sear it in an ovenproof frying pan at the range. That pan then is going into the oven till the beef reaches a blush-inside, nonetheless juicy, 63C. When the beef is finished and resting on a chopping board, you go back the pan to the range to create a easy sauce: upload slightly broth or water to dissolve the browned bits left within the pan, after which whisk in mustard, balsamic vinegar and honey.
Again at the baking tray, you upload handfuls of child spinach leaves and many of the heat sauce to the balsamic-glazed roasted apples and shallots, and toss. This takes the uncooked edge off of the spinach leaves, however keeps their contemporary essence within the model of a heat spinach salad.
That beautiful medley is served crowned with the sliced herb-crusted beef and drizzled with the rest pan sauce for a weeknight-friendly meal that may make you happy it’s fall or, as I name it, the beginning of roasting season.
Roasted beef tenderloin with apples, shallots and spinach
Lively time: 35 mins | Overall time: 50 mins
On this dish, an autumnal mixture of roasted apples and shallots is tossed with handfuls of clean spinach in a heat pan sauce, within the model of a heat spinach salad. Served with slices of herbed beef tenderloin on most sensible, it makes for a shocking, nutritious and weeknight-friendly meal.
Garage notes: Refrigerate leftovers for as much as 3 days.
3 huge shallots
2 unpeeled huge candy crimson apples (560g overall), equivalent to Honeycrisp or Gala
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, divided
1 tbsp chopped contemporary thyme leaves
1 tbsp chopped contemporary sage leaves
¼ tsp high quality salt, plus extra to style
¼ tsp freshly floor black pepper, plus extra to style
3 tsp Dijon mustard, divided
One (560g) beef tenderloin, silver pores and skin got rid of
80ml no-salt-added hen broth or water
1 tsp honey
85g child spinach
Place racks within the center and decrease 3rd of the oven and preheat to 220C. Halve and peel the shallots, then reduce each and every part lengthwise into 3 wedges in order that each and every wedge keeps a little bit of the core to carry it in combination. You are going to finally end up with 18 wedges of shallot. Core the apples, then reduce each and every apple into 12 wedges, so that you’ve got 24 wedges overall.
Position the apple and shallot wedges on a rimmed baking tray. Toss with 1 tbsp of the oil and roast for 10 mins at the center rack, then toss, and proceed to roast for every other 10 mins. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the balsamic vinegar, toss to coat, and go back to the oven for every other 10 mins, or till the apples and shallots are smooth, browned in spots and properly glazed.
Whilst the apples and shallots are roasting, in a small bowl mix the thyme, sage, and ¼ teaspoon each and every of the salt and pepper. Rub 1 teaspoon of the mustard in all places the beef, then sprinkle the herb aggregate in all places it, urgent it in to stick.
In a big, ovenproof frying pan over medium-high warmth, warmth 2 tbsp of the oil till shimmering. Upload the beef and cook dinner till browned on each side, about 2 mins consistent with facet. Switch the pan to the oven and cook dinner till the beef reaches an interior temperature of 62C and is relatively blushed within the middle, 15 to 18 mins (while you upload the pan to the oven, switch the baking tray with the apples and shallots to the decrease rack, if essential).
Switch the beef to a chopping board to relaxation, and go back the pan to the stovetop (take note the care for might be scorching). Upload the hen broth or water to the pan and warmth over excessive warmth, scraping up the bits within the pan with a spoon, till the liquid is lowered via part, about 2 mins. Scale back the warmth to medium-low and whisk in the rest 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, 2 tsp of the mustard and the honey. Style, and season with further salt and pepper, if desired.
When the apples and shallots are achieved, take away the baking tray from the oven, and upload the spinach to the baking tray and all however a couple of tbsp of the sauce from the pan. Toss to mix, permitting the spinach to wilt slightly.
Thinly slice the beef and serve it over the vegetable-apple aggregate, drizzled with the rest sauce.
