Place the milk in a saucepan, take the vanilla pod and score down the length with a knife add the pod to the milk and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave the mixture to infuse for 10 minutes.
Remove the vanilla pod and then slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking all the time. Pour the mixture back into the pan and reduce the heat to low. Whisk constantly and bring to the boil again. After around two minutes the mixture should thicken. Pour into a cold bowl to stop the cooking process.
Whisk the cream until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Add the vanilla extract and sugar and mix them in. Then fold the cream into the pastry cream mixture and chill.
To assemble the tart, spoon the cooled pastry cream into the pastry case and top with raspberries. Dissolve the redcurrant jelly into the just boiled water to make a glaze. Using a pastry brush, gently coat the raspberries with the glaze.
To serve remove the outer ring of the tin. Ease the base off with a knife and slide onto a plate or cake stand.
Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn: Did he fall or was he pushed?
He fell He was pushed. I don't know.
The only honest answer I can give this now is "I don't know". The media on the other hand seems to know and has convicted him already.
I don't know what the question means, but a person makes their own choices.
GyGene The question basically is asking did Ghosn cause his own downfall by wrongdoing or did Nissan higher-ups purposefully manipulate the data of his income.
There are far too many questions, and while I dont personally know the man, nor have any strong opinions either way about his supposed lifestyle I think in the end that it will be a combination of both.
I can not for the life of me understand how someone who is the head of a Japanese corporation, such as Nissan, would be able to under report income or what not, without the knowledge of the board, the accounting section, the tax people, everyone.
He very well may be guilty of misuse, but nothing on the level that would dictate an investigation of this magnitude.
I think he may have tripped, and instead of someone lending a hand to steady him they gave him a push along the way!
I'm not sure there's a big difference between the two. If he annoyed his colleagues to the point that they were happy to push him, perhaps it's also his own fault?
The only annoyything he did was be born in a foreign country and do what no Japanese CEO was able to do for these companies.

Response to intervention began as a way to identify and teach struggling readers and special education students. It's fast becoming a way to change schooling for everyone.
Educators in the Sanger, Calif., schools credit response to intervention for the district's dramatic test-score turnaround.
While curriculum developers seek to capitalize on response to intervention's popularity, experts fret about an overreliance on canned approaches.
One exception is the University of Utah, where aspiring urban teachers get exposed to 'tiered-instruction' techniques in all their core classes.
A middle school in Washington state uses Positive Behavior Supports, or PBIS, to curb behavior problems.
While response to intervention has won over some parents, others complain the schooling approach has delayed needed services for children with learning problems.
Despite its growing popularity, RTI can be an awkward fit with some of the federal grant programs used to pay for it.
While use of response to intervention is expanding in schools across the country, evidence is limited on how to use it best.

Retirement so far is working out great for former U.S. Rep. Dina Titus.
She recently accepted a lucrative buyout from UNLV, where she has taught for decades, a move that leaves her time and money to travel, relax and explore her next step. Her top choice: a return to politics.
Titus will still teach — she already is lined up to teach a nuclear politics course at UNLV this fall — and she is all but guaranteed a professor emeritus title. The honorary position already has been approved by the political science department; the university just has to finalize it, she said.
On top of the buyout money, Titus will receive about $3,000 for teaching the nuclear politics class, and she will continue to advise doctoral students but will receive no salary for that role. Without a full-time job, she’ll have more time to work on a book she’s writing, explore opportunities as an international polit...
Titus, a Democrat, lost House reelection in November after being narrowly defeated by Republican Joe Heck. While she is vague about specifics, she has made no secret of her desire to once again run for public office. Most suspect she will try for Nevada’s new 4th Congressional District.
Titus’ return to university life after being on leave while serving in Congress was bumpy. Weeks after the semester began, the UNLV College Republicans launched a vicious campaign against her, criticizing her course load and campus radio show and accusing her of using university resources to further her political caree...
In fact, Titus earned $107,855 annually for teaching one course, hosting a radio show and collaborating with the Black Mountain Institute. (She took home half that -- $53,958 -- for teaching the spring semester.) She said her radio show focused on literature, history, social welfare and other non-political topics.
Titus on Thursday denied that the criticism forced her out but seemed to concede that it played a role in her decision.

One of the smallest and cheapest parts on The Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner could become its Achilles' heel as the company considers production rates to meet growing demand.
The potential problem is a critical shortage of fasteners, which are used to hold airplane structures together. Tens of thousands are needed for each plane.
Fasteners for the 787, the world's first large commercial jetliner with a composite airframe, are a watch item that Boeing considers "high risk" as it studies production rates for the 787, said Scott Strode, who heads 787 production.
With 567 orders from 44 customers, the 787 has been the fastest-selling jetliner ever developed by Boeing or Airbus. And Boeing has been carefully studying how many planes it can build a month for eager customers without stressing its supply chain.
The first 787 entered final assembly at Boeing's Everett plant Monday. Boeing will officially roll out that first plane July 8, with its first flight to follow in late August or September. The first Dreamliners will be delivered starting in May 2008, assuming there are no delays.
The Seattle P-I disclosed the fastener problem last week.
Large sections of the 787 are manufactured by Boeing's partners in Japan, Italy and the United States and flown to the Everett plant for final assembly. But those composite structures for the first plane arrived with thousands of temporary fasteners instead of permanent fasteners.
In talking with reporters Monday at a celebration at the Everett plant to mark the start of final assembly, Strode acknowledged the fastener problem.
"The fasteners are a bigger challenge than we anticipated," Strode said. "They are being ordered into an industry that is already running at a high level of capacity. It's challenging. ... We were surprised at how much detailed management we have had to do on all those little fasteners to get them here. But we are gett...
In a subsequent discussion with the P-I, Strode revealed that the shortage is serious enough that Boeing is taking the fastener problem into consideration as it weighs 787 production rates.
The fastener shortage is complex and is more than a matter of supply versus demand.
Most of the fasteners that Boeing uses for its jetliners are produced by Alcoa in Southern California. In recent years, the fastener industry has consolidated, which means there are fewer makers of fasteners.
Also, those companies that do make fasteners cut production after the industry went into its worst downturn ever after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
But the industry is strong again, and Boeing and Airbus are boosting production rates to record levels to meet demand. Boeing is increasing rates not only of its popular 737, but also of its widebody 747, 767 and 777 jets, which are assembled in Everett.
Airbus announced last week that it will raise production rates of its single-aisle A320 family of planes to 40 a month. Neither Boeing nor Airbus has ever built that many jets a month of one model.
The fastener industry has not been able to keep up.
In addition to more fasteners for new planes, replacement fasteners are often required when jets such as Boeing's 737 -- there are more 737s in operation around the world than any other jetliner -- are taken out of service for maintenance.
Complicating matters for Boeing, its requirements for 787 fasteners came toward the end of the program's detailed engineering design process. As a result, fastener makers got a late start in tooling up to make the unique fasteners required for the Dreamliner.
Some of those 787 fasteners, Strode said, require a special coating.
Working in Boeing's favor is the fact that far fewer fasteners are need for the 787 because of the new production method -- manufacturing large one-piece composite structures rather than making the fuselage and wings by fastening together many small pieces of aluminum.
The first 787 fuselage test barrel that Boeing made, for example, needed about 80 percent fewer fasteners than that 22-foot length of fuselage would have required had it been aluminum.
Boeing was unable to provide data on just how many fasteners will be used on each 787.
It's not clear if the fastener shortage could force Boeing to set 787 production rates lower than it would like.
In March, Mike Bair, vice president of the 787 program, said Boeing would boost 787 production more than initially planned to meet demand. But Boeing won't do so until after the first 112 jets have been delivered in 2008 and 2009. Boeing does not want to overburden its supply chain.
In the late 1990s, Boeing's supply chain faltered and broke when the company was too aggressive in raising production rates of its jets. Parts failed to show up on time, and Boeing had to shut down assembly lines. The production meltdown cost Boeing billions of dollars and damaged relationships with airline customers t...
The company has vowed that it won't make the same mistake with the 787.
"We want to avoid temptation," Bair said in March when talking about 787 production rates. "You can get yourself buried."
Even so, Boeing is eventually expected to assemble as many as 10 787s a month at its Everett plant. That would be a record rate for a widebody jetliner.
(April 25, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) The decisive defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which is ferociously fighting probably its last battle in a small piece of land (about 20 sq. kms) with little chance of winning it, is partly due to the follies of Prabakaran, its chief, during the last four yea...
Among his follies, one could mention his split with Karuna, the legendary conventional fighter from the Eastern Province and his followers, his increasing reliance on terrorism after the desertion of the conventional fighters led by Karuna and his working for the defeat of Ranil Wickremasinghe, former Prime Minister, i...
During its existence, the LTTE had developed a capability for conventional warfare as well as for spectacular acts of terrorism. Its best conventional fighters came from the Eastern Province and many of its suicide terrorists from the Northern Province. Unhappiness among the conventional fighters that the suicide bombe...
Deprived of the strong conventional capability, the LTTE increasingly relied on terrorism and intimidatory attacks by its small fleet of aircraft in its fight against the Armed Forces. Its reliance on terrorism at a time when the international community was developing a policy of zero tolerance for terrorism after 9/11...
No Sri Lankan leader was more sympathetic to the aspirations of the Tamils than former President Chandrika Kumaratunge and Wickremasinghe. The latter was prepared to concede in a large measure the political demands of the LTTE within a federal set-up. If Prabakaran had responded positively to the gestures from Wickrema...
Prabakaran, who had an inflated belief in his own prowess and in the perceived invincibility of the LTTE, spurned his gestures and worked for his defeat in the Presidential elections. His calculation that Rajapaksa would be a weak and indecisive President, whose Sinhalese extremism would further polarise relations betw...
Rajapaksa turned out to be one of the strongest and clear-headed Presidents Sri Lanka has had. He came to office determined to defeat the LTTE as an insurgent and terrorist organization first before addressing the aspirations of the Tamils. He gave his armed forces the wherewithal in terms of money and equipment to ena...
The improved morale and capabilities of the Sri Lankan Armed Forces have definitely contributed to their remarkable success in relentlessly rolling back the LTTE from the areas controlled by it, but this success was facilitated by the ruthless use of air strikes against the LTTE.
Did Indian assistance also contribute to the success of the SL Armed Forces? The Government of India denies having given any offensive equipment and training to the SL Armed Forces, but Sri Lankan officers and leaders have themselves been saying that the success of their Armed Forces was made possible by Indian assista...
The LTTE’s brutal assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in May 1991 created a revulsion for it in Tamil Nadu. If it has since managed to rehabilitate itself in the eyes of some sections of public opinion in Tamil Nadu, the Manmohan Singh Government and its senior functionaries cannot escape the responsibility for it. The failu...
People tend to compare what they perceive as Manmohan Singh’s helpless attitude in the face of the repeated rejection by the Rajapaksa Government of the requests for a humanitarian approach to Rajiv Gandhi’s action in sending the Indian Air Force to drop humanitarian supplies to the Tamils despite strong criticism of t...
What next after the defeat of the LTTE? Rajapaksa has been repeatedly promising that he would address the aspirations of the Tamils for greater political and economic rights. Will a bloated Army and the Sinhalese extremist elements allow him to keep his word even if he wants to or will he, egged on by his army, try to ...
As long as there are big bully indians like yourself holding govt office in india (thank god you are retd), the sri lankans will have to manage their businesses very carefully. all you bullies want is a destable sri lanka or is it raman... that you want to be a president of a greater tamil land once TN breaks away from...
