The Peached Tortilla’s Fried Rice Recipe Is Just Plain Delicious How to Cook Rice Perfectly Every Time Pro Chefs Dish on the Perfect Seven-Layer Dip Recipes Depending on where you are in the country — or the world, really — you may have different opinions of coleslaw. Maybe you’re in New Jersey, where coleslaw is almost always served in diners in a tiny cup with a fat pickle spear resting on top while the cabbage and minuscule carrot pieces swim in a generic white sauce. Or maybe you’re in the Deep South, where slaw is a necessary component of any proper barbecue meal. Or heck, maybe you’re reading this from Germany and your krautsalat is made with oil and vinegar and served as a side to a nice wurst.No matter where you come from or what you’ve previously known about or thought of slaw, throw it out. It doesn’t matter anymore. This recipe is the single greatest coleslaw recipe we’ve come across and you will want to put it on literally everything.Why, you ask, is this slaw — which was created by chef Matt Bolus at Gertie’s in Nashville (the new bar at The 404 Kitchen) — the best ever? I’ve got four words for you.Bourbon and brown butter.Could it get any better?Well, more bourbon, sure, but it’s just as easy to put that bourbon in a glass. (Need some suggestions? Why not try this bourbon. Or check out this one.)At Gertie’s, Bolus’ goal was to create the ultimate menu for a chef’s night out. He wanted to have food that was perfect for drinking. With items like Tater Tot Poutine and a Benton’s Ham plate, it’s safe to say Bolus accomplished that. The slaw you see below will be served at Gertie’s on the Smoked Bologna Sandwich.Bourbon Brown Butter Slaw 1 head cabbage4 green onions2 carrots1 clove garlic2 cup mayonnaise1 tbsp bourbon2 tbsp lemon juice2 tbsp apple cider vinegar.5 cup melted (but not hot) brown butterKosher salt to tasteBlack pepper to tasteMethod: Shred cabbage and carrots.

New Delhi: Germany has initiated a move at the European Union to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist, days after China blocked a bid at the United Nations to ban him, diplomatic sources said. They said Germany was in touch with several member-nations of the European Union to list Azhar as a terrorist which will result in his travel ban as well as freezing of his assets in the 28-country bloc. Germany has floated a proposal to ban Azhar by the European Union, but no resolution on the issue has been moved yet, diplomatic sources said Tuesday. Also Read – India gets first tranche of Swiss bank a/c details They said all 28 member-countries of the European Union will have to support the move to ban the Pakistan-based terrorist as the bloc decides on such issues under the principle of consensus. On March 15, France imposed financial sanctions on Azhar and said it will work with its European partners to put the JeM chief’s name on the EU list of persons and entities involved in terrorist acts. The decision by France came two days after China put a hold on a fresh move to designate Azhar a global terrorist by the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council. Also Read – Tourists to be allowed in J&K from Thursday The proposal to designate Azhar under the 1267 al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the UNSC was moved by France, the UK and the US, in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed. JeM had claimed responsibility for the Pulwama attack. Fourteen out of the 15 members of the UN Security Council supported the proposal, but China was the only country which did not go with the move.
Despite knowing that Mr Thakar had worked for Labour, the BBC allowed him to question the five Tory leadership hopefuls without disclosing his political background.Introduced by presenter Emily Maitlis, Mr Thakar told the candidates they would have “no mandate from the people” and should “do the right thing and call a general election”. 
Aman Thakar with Emily ThornberryCredit:Facebook A senior aide to one of the leadership contenders added that the BBC had made a “big strategic error” and would now pay the price by missing out on the “jewel in the crown” – a televised debate between the final two candidates.Mr Thakar previously worked as a legal assistant to Labour’s general secretary and in May 2018 stood as a council candidate for the party in Southwark during the local elections.According to documents published on the Law Society website, he joined Leigh Day as an assistant in September.A BBC Spokesperson said: “Last night’s debate saw, for the first time, all the remaining prime ministerial candidates put on the spot, answering a range of public questions. A background in politics doesn’t disqualify anyone from taking part in a debate show. Last night’s questioners held a range of political views and we did not specify these views nor their backgrounds although some chose to do so themselves.“The last questioner on the debate is a solicitor who was seconded by his law firm to the Labour Party in the past, rather than being a Labour ‘staffer’. He is a Labour supporter and once stood as a councillor.”
We told Cycling Scotland that any future ads featuring cyclists should be shown wearing helmets and placed in the most suitable cycling position.We can’t help but think that seems a little… obvious. Source: PegaseBuzzFirst look: Italia ’90 fever hits the new series of Moone Boy>9 times George Clooney’s AMA proved he’s the smoothest man in Hollywood> A SCOTTISH TELEVISION ad promoting safe cycling has been banned after complaints the it featured a cyclist without a helmet cycling down the middle of the road.The Advertising Standards Authority deemed the ad inappropriate, despite protests from Cycling Scotland who were responsible for the ad. According to Cycling Scotland, the fact that wearing a helmet is not a legal requirement in Scotland was reflected in the ad, as they featured both cyclists with and without helmets.The ASA banned the ad in its current form, also saying:
Republished with permission from Greatist.comBEFORE THE RISE of online dating websites and back in the days when scoring our friends didn’t require a Facebook account, there was speed dating.Essentially, a session of straight speed dating involves a group of women sitting around at tables in a circle and a group of men who rotate around them. Everyone gets a chance to meet (and flirt); and successful pairings are given contact info to try their luck in the real world.Speed dating is useful for obvious reasons, like sharing horror stories about the other participants. But, for two researchers at Stanford university in the US, speed dating also provides rich material for analysing the science behind romance and attraction. According to their findings, there are a few key elements of the standard four-minute speed date that consistently predict whether two people will hit it off or head for the hills — even outside of the speed-dating arena. Some of the results are a no-brainer (women like men who are interested in them), while others are less intuitive (who knew asking too many questions was a faux pas?).What’s the deal? Researchers recruited graduate students from an “elite private American university” to take part in a series of speed dating sessions. Everyone participated just once, and all students were promised the contact information of anyone they matched with. The daters wore audio recorders during their four-minute interviews (so no lewd comments, please!). In the end, researchers ended up accumulating transcripts of 1,100 dates. All daters also filled out surveys about their demographic, personal interests, and dating experience.After analyzing all the data, the scientists came to the conclusion that there are certain key factors that predict whether couples “clicked.” Perhaps surprisingly, men and women usually said they clicked when their conversations were mostly about the women. Less shocking, women were more likely to say they connected with men who used appreciative language (“That’s great!”) and who interrupted them — but only as a way to show understanding and engagement (“Exactly”).And for those who think it’s a good idea to ask a gazillion questions about where their partner grew up and the name of his or her childhood pet, think again: Asking questions usually signalled a lack of connection, probably because women felt that they had to act curious in order to keep a boring conversation going. Signs of a good conversation were subtler, like varying one’s speech to get louder and softer.Why it mattersSome previous research on speed dating and first encounters has found that physical attractiveness pretty much determines whether two people are initially into each other. But this new study adds to a growing body of research suggesting there are other factors, aside from a pretty face, that predict whether two people click. For example, one study found that speed-dating couples with similar speaking styles were more likely to report a mutual connection.What seems pretty clear from all the research is that speed dating isn’t just waffle In general, people are pretty quick to determine whether they like each other. (Four minutes might be pushing it, though, since some research suggests it takes 20 minutes for people to decide whether they want a second date.) And first impressions may be more important for men than for women. In one survey, one in five men said they’d experienced love at first sight, while only one in 10 women said the same.Still, the researchers’ findings aren’t meant to be rules for how to interact on a first date. Instead, they’re observations about the factors that contribute to romantic chemistry. When on a first date — or, really, in any situation — it’s probably best to just be yourself. There’s no use faking a connection: If you don’t click with your potential mate, you probably wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with them anyway.Ever been speed dating? How did it go?

Ex-Manchester United star Paul Ince believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s record start as interim coach has been overpraisedSince replacing the fired Jose Mourinho last month, Solskjaer has collected six wins in a row following Sunday’s 1-0 triumph over Tottenham at Wembley.The result also enabled Solskjaer to break the legendary Sir Matt Busby’s 73-year-old record of five wins in his opening games in charge of United.Aside from that, the Norwegian has been heavily praised for bringing out the best of Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford – which is something Mourinho struggled to do so.But Ince has sensationally claimed that he and old team-mate Steve Bruce, who was fired by second division side Aston Villa in October, could have done that themselves.“We can’t get too sucked in with what Ole’s done,” Ince told Paddy Power.“Let’s be honest, it couldn’t get any worse at Manchester United before Jose Mourinho left.
Liverpool legend Nicol slams Harry Maguire’s Man United form Andrew Smyth – September 14, 2019 Steve Nicol believes Harry Maguire has made some “horrendous mistakes” recently, and has failed to find his best form since joining Manchester United.“There was a dark cloud over the entire club, the players, the fans and the staff. It was impacting performances on the pitch.“Ole’s come in, a friendly face at the club with a calming influence and it seems as though the players have upped their effort as a result.“The shackles are off, but that doesn’t mean that Ole is the right man for the job.“I could have gone in and done the same thing, so could Steve Bruce.“Anyone could have gone in and done what he has done, it wasn’t a hard thing to do to give those players freedom and improve the mood.”The Englishman also added that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino should remain as first choice for the permanent managerial vacancy at Old Trafford.

The Washington State Patrol supports and appreciates good-willed drivers pulling off the freeway to help someone stalled by a blown tire or overheated engine — with a caveat: “If you are going to stop, you need to look out for your own personal safety,” said Trooper Ryan Tanner.In the past 11 months, the state patrol has investigated seven automotive vs. pedestrian fatalities in southwest Washington, including three in Clark County. The most recent saw a man killed on northbound Interstate 5 just south of Woodland after he had stopped to check on someone who had wrecked her car on a bridge. In total, that crash snared four vehicles and resulted in serious injuries to two women in addition to the death of the man, Ronnie Walker, 61, of Spokane. At the time, Sgt. Thomas Butsch of the state patrol said, “There’s no shoulders on the bridge. There’s just no space there. A vehicle is really more dangerous than a firearm.”The circumstances of the seven fatalities were not all alike; they did not all involve eager-to-help good Samaritans. Still, state patrol officials offered a series of tips for people who either have to or choose to stop on the side of the freeway.

Warangal: In a bid to check the habitual offenders, the Warangal Police Commissionerate appears to be ruthless. Rightly so, the Commissionerate has been invoking the Preventive Detention (PD) Act that once used sparingly to ensure hardcore criminals behind the bars.Commissioner of Police V Ravinder has on Tuesday issued orders invoking PD Act against two women, who were involved in several theft cases. So far, the Commissionerate has invoked PD Act against 85 people due to their criminal record. Among them, there are seven women also. The Commissioner of Police said that PD Act has become a successful tool to check offenders, in addition to the routine policing. He said that effective usage of laws helps them control crime. Also Read – Techie strangled to death in Hyderabad Advertise With Us The police on Tuesday handed over orders of PD Act to two habitual offenders – N Krishnamma and S Lingamma of Budagajangala Colony near Madikonda village under Kazipet mandal in the presence of jailor. Posing as rag-pickers, the duo, who are presently in the Warangal Central Prison, had committed several house break ins, the police said. The two offenders took to theft in 2008 and had so far involved in seven theft cases. In addition to this, there are 18 cases against the duo, filed by the Railway police. “We are not going to spare anyone, who habitually involves in crimes. The onus is on police to protect the property of private and public,” Ravinder said.
Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh state and President of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Chandrababu Naidu.STR/AFP/Getty ImagesYSR Congress Party chief Jagan Mohan Reddy claimed that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu can “stoop to any level” and accused Naidu of “eliminating” his uncle. Addressing a public meeting at Rayachoti, Jagan Mohan Reddy stated that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief eliminated his uncle YS Vivekananda Reddy to demoralise him.”Chandrababu can stoop to any level and has eliminated my own uncle to demoralise me. The ghastly murder takes place under his guidance, it is his (state) police that takes up the investigation and it is his friendly media that tom-toms spinning story after story,” he said. Y. S. Vivekananda ReddytwitterYS Vivekananda Reddy, younger brother of former Andhra Pradesh CM YS Rajasekhara Reddy and a former minister in the state government, was found murdered at his home in Pulivendula, Kadapa district on Friday (March 15) morning. Jagan Reddy alleged that Naidu has been resorting to “murder politics” and using his “money, muscle and media power.””We will have to fight the battle against all these factors and reject the corrupt practice,” he added.”The ruling party (Telugu Desam Party) is steeped in rampant corruption and the ruling party from leadership to grassroots level workers have been involved in kickbacks. Special Category Status (SCS) was mortgaged for selfish benefits, Polavaram contract was taken from the centre for kickbacks and now Chandrababu Naidu is coming with a slogan of assurance which sounds ridiculous,” he added.Speaking at Orvakalu, Mr Reddy reaffirmed support to all sections of society, including farmers and youth, who, he said, “bore the brunt of the mal-governance of Chandrababu government for the past five years.”He appealed to the public present on the occasion not to be lured by the short term gains of Chandrababu Naidu who will be “coming with money bags” but to opt for long-term benefits like Navaratnas (nine jewels).”With 50 per cent of the population being women, I appeal to my sisters not to be lured by the Rs 3,000 which will be given by Chandrababu Naidu. Use your discretion and elect a leader who stands by his word and will be with you in the hour of crisis, not like the TDP leader who comes like a seasonal bird during elections, announces sops and goes away never to be seen before the next elections,” he said while referring to Naidu.”All loans the women groups have availed will be waived in four instalments and all the women who are in the age group of 45 to 60 will be given Rs 75,000,” Jagan Reddy added. The YSRCP chief also said that if his party comes to power, pension meant for senior citizens would be increased to Rs 3,000.Andhra Pradesh will go to polls in a single phase on April 11. Both the Lok Sabha and legislative assembly polls will be held in the state simultaneously on this day.(Inputs from agencies)
ReutersThe Human Rights Watch (HRW) has hit out against Saudi Arabia as well as companies such as Apple and Google over the Absher mobile app that helps Saudi men enslave women.The Absher app, which has received fulsome praise from the men folk in the orthodox Islamic country, has also got widespread condemnation from women rights activists around the world. The app, which helps Saudi men prevent their womenfolk and employees from leaving their country without express permission, is a modern tool for an outdated and repressive system of control over women, HRW said in a statement.The infamous app was recently in news when two Saudi sisters fled the country and requested asylum in Georgia. The sisters, Maha and Wafa al-Subaei, had requested Apple and Google to pull the app as it supported the country’s harsh male guardianship system, Reuters had reported.Through the Absher app, Saudi men can give or take back permission for the women in the family or their workers to travel abroad. The men can even cancel the women’s tickets and get SMS updates if the women try to circumvent the checks. Majdooleen, who is among the first Saudi women allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia drives her car in her neighborhood in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia June 24, 2018.REUTERS/Faisal Al NasserSaudi Arabia should end the discriminatory travel restrictions on women and migrants, while Google and Apple should also publicly call on the country to end the male guardianship system, HRW said. “They should update their terms of service to prohibit apps expressly designed to violate rights and make every effort to mitigate human rights harm before making such apps available,” HRW said.”Saudi Arabia should end its humiliating and discriminatory requirement for women to have male guardian permission to travel abroad,” Rothna Begum, senior women’s rights researcher at Human Rights Watch, said. “Saudi authorities allow male guardians and employers to trap women and migrants in the country … Such control over people’s lives facilitates domestic violence and abusive labor conditions,” Begum added.Absher is a government e-service portalSaudi Arabia, which officially follows the orthodox Wahabbi line of Islam, has long held that women should not venture out of home or travel abroad without the company of a male guardian. A man’s presence and concurrence is a must for all Saudi women who want to take a passport, travel abroad, marry, undertake higher education, or be released from prison, HRW pointed out.What makes Absher particularly powerful is that it’s a government e-service portal. While its main purpose is to streamline the renewal of passports and facilitate the hiring of new migrant labour visas, a section of it allows male guardians to refuse or allow women and children to travel abroad or obtain a passport, HRW points out. HRW says that it’s aware of several cases where Saudi guardians have stopped women from travelling abroad for education. It also says it also knows at least three cases wherein women surreptitiously obtained their father’s mobile phone password and changed the Absher travel permission settings.

Earlier this year, there were rumours that Bioshock Infinite’s multiplayer modes had been cancelled, now Ken Levine has confirmed that is indeed the case. He announced there would be no multiplayer when a fan asked about it on Twitter.Bioshock 2 was the first in the series to have a multiplayer mode and although there were many different game types, it mostly saw you as a splicer, killing and competing against other splicers. It got a luke-warm reception and obviously, Levine must have decided it wouldn’t work in Infinite.Some gamers may worry about a lack of multiplayer as it often adds to the longetivity of a game, but it’s likely that most will be relieved as bad multiplayer can also detract from a title. It also means Irrational Games‘ attention is not diverted away from the all important single-player experience and main story. Bioshock Infinite looks like an emotional, story-driven game, and fans will be playing it for the single player experience.In Infinite, you play a Pinkerton agent called Booker DeWitt and you’re on a rescue mission to save a woman called Elizabeth who’s been imprisoned since she was a child. It looks very different from the previous Bioshock games, which were dark and creepy. In comparison, it’s a very bright and colorful looking game.The first Bioshock proved multiplayer wasn’t needed to make a successful game, Infinite is better off without it. Infinite plans to launch worldwide on February 26 next year. Let’s hope it can still make that release date.via GC

Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs’ buying and selling Once considered a long shot, it appears he has a legitimate chance to unseat Logan Thomas and earn the third-string QB job.“He’s been very consistent since the day he showed up for a tryout,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said of Sims. “(He) can articulate the offense in the huddle. Knows why he’s throwing the ball, where he’s throwing it. And when he makes a mistake, he can put it behind him and go on to the next play. I like that in a quarterback.”It’s worth pointing out that Sims is not your classic small-school quarterback.The 6-foot-4, 210-pound passer began his career at Alabama before transferring to Virginia and then, after being ruled academically ineligible, to Winston-Salem State. Before all that, though, he was one of the top quarterbacks in the high school class of 2010, someone who many predicted would go on to have an outstanding career.But just because his time in college did not go as originally planned does not mean his dreams of playing in the NFL went away, so here he is, working to make it with the Cardinals.“The same way I would if I was the first pick in the draft, it really doesn’t matter to me,” he said of how he’s approaching camp. “I am who I am. My path was different; that doesn’t make me different. The talent is what got me here. The talent was never a question through my whole path to get here. “They know no rookie is going to come in and make every single play, but they want to see those splash plays that they expect. And when you make them, that’s what they’re hoping for.”As for Sims, he’s just hoping to improve over the course of camp.“If you improve every day, get better and get better, that’s what the coaches want and that’s my goal, to get better every day,” he said. “At the end of the day, if it’s good enough to make the team, that’s good for me. And if it’s not, I’ve improved enough to make myself a better player and hopefully get another shot somewhere.” – / 23 Sims understands that there are essentially three players fighting for one spot. It figures to be an intense competition, one Sims firmly believes he can win.“I felt like I should have been a starting quarterback at a lot of schools in college, I felt like I should have been a draft pick — I felt like I should have been a lot of things, but it’s not always up to me,” he said. “But I do believe that I’m one of the best quarterbacks here, and I’m going to come out here every day and fight for the opportunity to be on this football team come September.”If he is to earn a roster spot, Sims said he’ll have to improve on his knowledge of the team’s offense. He wants to make sure the coaches know that he understands what is expected of him on each play, whether he is supposed to take a shot deep down the field or check down to a safer option.Because, he said, talent will not be the issue.“I feel like for you to get to this point in your career, to this level, you have talent. There’s no slouches out here,” he said. “Everybody has the talent. You get here, it’s how fast you can pick up on things. They know why they brought you here, they know the talent that you have. They want to see how fast can you pick up their offense, their schemes, and put your talent into their schemes and make plays. GLENDALE, Ariz. – What might be the most intriguing position battle during Arizona Cardinals training camp may ultimately not matter much for the 2015 season.In fact, the hope would be that it doesn’t.But when the team takes the field for one of its 19 practices before the regular season opener, quarterback Phillip Sims will be playing for a job. An undrafted free agent signee from Winston-Salem State, Sims turned a rookie minicamp tryout into a contract, and is now hoping to turn that contract into a spot on the 53-man roster. 0 Comments Share Former Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson retires The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes’ introduction of Alex Meruelo Top Stories QB Phillip Sims goes through a drill during Arizona Cardinals training camp.

My path, yes, that was different. But I’m still the same player that got me a five-star ranking coming out of high school. That hasn’t changed.”Last season with Winston-Salem State, Sims completed 118-of-198 passes for 1,560 yards and 15 touchdowns with four interceptions.What Sims may lack in statistics, he more than makes up for in confidence which, really, is something he can’t afford not to have. Though it is not impossible to go from undrafted rookie free agent to NFL starting quarterback – see Dallas’ Tony Romo, for example — it is certainly difficult.It also does not help that Sims’ vision isn’t all that great. As reported by AZCardinals.com’s Darren Urban, Sims has 20/50 vision in his right eye and 20/100 in the left. He was expected to get contacts but said he has yet to do so, and while LASIK is ultimately the plan, he said he cannot afford to take the time off necessary following the procedure.So, the 22-year-old, who said he brought two weeks’ worth of clothes to camp will press on, battling Thomas and Chandler Harnish for the job as the team’s third quarterback. The first two spots on the depth chart belong to Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton, respectively. Grace expects Greinke trade to have emotional impact
