Pat the eggplant dry and heat up the oil. |
While the oil is heating up, season the burgers on both sides with the salt and pepper, then shake over the shawarma spice. Place on a grill or flattop for 2 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm until you assemble. |
Fry the eggplant until it develops a golden-brown crust and place on a paper towel to drain. Season with a little salt when it comes out of the oil. |
To make the zhoug, use a blender and add in the toasted spices. Give the mixture a blend and let the spices grind up. Add in all the remaining ingredients and blitz until it is a little chunky, but mostly smooth. |
To make the shawarma spice, mix the cardamom and curry well and place in a spice shaker. Reserve for burgers. |
To make the garlicky tahini,combine the raw tahini, lemon juice, grated garlic and kosher salt in a bowl. Mix together. Pour in the ice water and keep adding water until the tahini is smooth. |
To assemble the burger: Slice open the pita, drizzle in tahini to taste, 1 tsp of zhoug and a 1/2 tsp of umbah. Carefully place the burger and eggplant in the pita. Place the cucumber salad in the pita as well, in front of the patty and eggplant. Place a tablespoon of garlicky tahini on top, then add another 1 tsp of z... |
Their study highlighted two cold and dry periods. One began about 44,000 years ago and lasted about 1,000 years. The other began about 40,800 years ago and lasted six centuries. The timing of those events matches the periods when artifacts from Neanderthals disappear and signs of Homo sapiens appear in sites within the... |
The climate shifts would have replaced forest with shrub-filled grassland, and Homo sapiens may have been better adapted to that new environment than the Neanderthals were, so they could move in after Neanderthals disappeared, the researchers wrote. |
William Lie Zeckendorf, a co-developer of 15 Central Park West and a co-owner of the brokerage firm Brown Harris Stevens, is in contract to buy a two-bedroom, 17th-floor apartment at the tony 740 Park Ave., for $27 million. The apartment is owned by Linda and Gregory Fischbach, who were tight-lipped about the deal at t... |
The unit is on a higher floor and more “done” than the pad at 927 Fifth Ave. that Zeckendorf recently bought for $29.1 million from the estate of banker Bruce Wasserstein, and then sold to hedge-funder Scott Bommer for $34.6 million. |

The Monday morning attack on senior Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Govind Pansare is eerily similar to the shooting of anti-superstition activist Narendra Dabholkar. |
Pansare, 78, and his wife were returning home from a morning walk when unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants fired at them, leaving both critically injured. Pansare was shot in his neck, hand and waist, while his wife suffered a bullet injury to her head. |
After the attack, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, who also holds the home portfolio, has set up 10 teams of investigators, who have imposed naka bandis across all the entry points of Kolhapur. |
“The police have formed 10 teams and the investigation is being monitored by the Inspector General of Kolhapur range,” said Fadnavis. |
The shooting draws several parallels with the killing of Dabholkar, whose assailants are yet to be arrested. The anti-superstition activist was killed in Pune on August 20, 2013, when unidentified gunmen shot him while he was returning home from his morning walk and sped away on their bike. |
The spot selected by Pansare’s attackers, too, is close to his house in Sagarmala locality of Kolhapur. According to the additional superintendent of police, the gunmen, like in Dabholkar’s case, had their faces covered. |
Residents who heard the gunshots initially thought they were crackers being burst to celebrate India’s World Cup win over Pakistan. However, neighbours soon saw the couple lying in a pool of blood, after which they were taken to the nearby Aster hospital. |
Pansare has been at the forefront of the anti-toll tax agitation in Kolhapur over the past several months. Around a fortnight ago, the veteran CPI leader was addressing students at Shivaji University when some members of the audience protested against his remark to not glorify Nathuram Godse. |
A week ago, he was speaking at a programme on the 26/11 attacks, when he made certain references to late ATS chief Hemant Karkare’s death. According to sources, he received threats from fringe elements for his references. However the police have been cautious in reacting to the attacks, saying they are probing every an... |
“The police are probing the attack from every angle. Whoever is behind the attack will be brought to book,” said Fadnavis. |
LONDON (Reuters) - Vodafone said on Wednesday it will begin testing next-generation 5G mobile networks in seven of Britain’s 10 largest cities later in 2018, part of a plan to start limited deployments in dense urban areas in some markets next year. |
Management of global operator Vodafone Group has signaled it is in no rush to roll out 5G, seeing the potential tenfold increase in mobile broadband data speeds it offers as a way to wring greater efficiencies out of network choke points initially. |
Vodafone UK, Britain’s third largest mobile operator, said it is laying the groundwork for 5G services as a supplement to existing 4G networks at 40 locations around Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Manchester. |
It plans to target highly trafficked urban areas including sports venues, offices, factories and hospitals, as well as some popular holiday locations, a Vodafone UK spokesman said. |
Earlier this month, rival mobile operator EE, a unit of BT Group, said it would switch on the UK’s first 5G trial network in East London in October. Vodafone said its latest trials will kick off between October and December of this year. |
Vodafone has said its broad program of 4G network upgrades undertaken across Europe in recent years, combined with its strong position in licensed radio airwaves, ensures that it has capacity to meet traffic demand for years to come. |
The company is waiting until 5G-ready phones and other devices start to become available in the 2020 timeframe before it considers fuller 5G deployments. Vodafone has forecast that 5G is unlikely to be adopted by 50 percent of phone users before the middle of the next decade, or around seven years out. |

"Ploughed Under" by House Theatre at Chopin Theatre. |
The Chopin Theatre is set up with long tables and chairs for “Ploughed Under: An American Songbook,” a gutsy project at the House Theatre of Chicago that, demonstably, is very much the brainchild of Kevin O’Donnell, the composer and percussionist whose music has been the basis for many of the past shows at a company th... |
Part of the problem here is that the 10 actor-singer-musicians standing on Collette Pollard’s resonantly designed stage (think Civil War rustic) are wearing head microphones that feed into a sound system — adequate, perhaps, for a traditional book musical but not for what’s basically a theatricalized concert, a songsui... |
Since the whole conceit here is to draw attention to the overlooked heroes of American history (although it might be a stretch to call Casey Jones overlooked), and since the spoken text is minimal, that means that O’Donnell has to pack his lyrics with narrative information: lines like “Joaquin Murrieta is the name of a... |
I’ve long had enormous respect for O’Donnell’s music, which has one foot in experimental composition and another in the Americana and parlor music tradition of the 19th century, ascendedent here. He also is a remarkable percussionist. But this is a heavy assignment (O’Donnell directed the show, composed the score and l... |

BATTER UP: Sean Best takes to the plate for the Ballarat Royals. Picture: Lachlan Bence. |
The Ballarat Royals have dropped their second consecutive game of the Geelong Baseball Association A-grade competition following an eight run loss to the Guild Allstars Baseball Club. |
Missing captain Mathew Jones and catcher Leigh Ashmore, the Royals put forward a valiant effort, keeping the scores even a six apiece before being overwhelmed in the later innings. |
Jordan Isbister was a standout for Ballarat, knocking in two RBIs in the loss. |
The loss moves the Royals to fifth on the ladder after two rounds. Clearly still adjusting to an almost entirely new team this season, Ballarat has conceded the most runs in the competition so far (31) and registered the least amount of runs (11). |
What does Isabella’s Ch. 11 mean for his sexual harassment suit settlement? A bankruptcy attorney explains. |
When several entities tied to restaurateur Mike Isabella’s restaurant group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Thursday, one name in particular stood out among the list of creditors: Chloe Caras, the former Mike Isabella Concepts manager who sued Isabella for sexual harassment earlier this year. |
Isabella and Caras settled the case for an undisclosed sum in May, and the Ch. 11 filing of Mike Isabella Inc., the company for Mike Isabella Concepts, lists Caras as a creditor. It doesn’t include the actual amount she is owed, however, citing the confidentiality of the suit. |
The petition does indicate that Mike Isabella Inc. made a payment of $12,500 to Caras sometime in the three months before the bankruptcy documents were filed. He also made a payment to the law firm of Caras’ attorney, Debra Katz. The timeline tracks — Isabella settled the suit in early May. |
VDARE.com Says: Happy Independence Day— But Watch Out For Real Gunfire! |
"[The date] will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this Continent to the other from this time forward forever more." |
However, while this is, as Presidential Proclamations still say, “the Year of Our Lord 2013 and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh,” it is also the fifth year of the Obama administration. |
And according to Colin Flaherty (an expert in black mob violence), the shows, games, and sports that Adams envisaged may have to be cancelled because the “guns” will be loaded guns. |
The threat of a repeat of black mob violence on the Fourth of July is causing at least three cities to cancel their annual Independence Day fireworks parties. |
Black mob violence has marred for several years the annual holiday celebrations in the Cleveland suburb of Bedford. Almost none of which made its way to the local media. But the city council heard an earful from local residents following last year’s holiday violence. |
They reported that 50 to 80 black people were hitting people in the face and disrupting the festival and surrounding areas. |
Because Bedford no longer has a daily newspaper, the city sent out a “Code Red” message warning residents of the violence and lawlessness that was “out of control” at their event. Three surrounding police agencies were called in to quell the violence. |
The fire chief said his people were not armed or trained for this kind of activity. |
And it applies to going out in public to Fourth of July festivities. |
If something like this happens in your neighborhood or town, it won’t be the anticipated riots “if Zimmerman is acquitted” or the previously-anticipated “riots that might have happened if Obama was defeated.” These would just be the regular mass violence that blacks have been committing all through the Obama Administra... |
So stay safe on the Fourth! Depending where you live, and who else lives there, your celebrations may go better with friends and family in your own back yard. |
And let’s hope that the Schumer/ Rubio Amnesty/ Immigration Surge bill doesn’t make it through the House and make all these problems worse. |

Nine out of ten people in the South East want drivers who cause a fatal accident while drunk or on drugs to be charged with manslaughter. |
A statement from Brake said: “93 per cent of people questioned in your region agreed that if someone causes a fatal crash when they get behind the wheel after drinking or taking drugs, they should be charged with manslaughter. That carries a possible life sentence. |
“At present people can either be charged with causing death by dangerous driving or causing death by careless driving when under the influence of drink or drugs. Sentences for those charges range between 26 weeks and 14 years, though sentences at the higher end of the range are rarely handed out. |
“The study also reveals most people back much tougher sentences for all criminal killer drivers. More than two thirds (71 per cent) of those questioned think those convicted should be jailed for at least ten years. |
“More than half of people asked said the sentence for killing someone in a crash should be at least 15 years and almost a quarter (23.2 per cent) think drivers who kill should be jailed for life. At present almost half of drivers convicted of killing are not jailed at all. The average prison sentence for a driver who h... |
“Brake is now calling on the government to immediately review guidelines for both charging and sentencing criminal drivers. |
Tata Capital Financial Services will raise up to Rs 75 billion through sale of non-convertible debentures, including tier-II capital bonds up to Rs 15 billion. The issue will open on Monday. This would be its first offer to individual investors (as opposed to institutional ones; retail offer is the parlance). |
In what is believed to be the first ruling of its kind in Connecticut, a Federal judge has ordered this New Haven suburb to revise its hiring practices to end a perception of job discrimination among blacks and other minorities. |
Judge Peter C. Dorsey of Federal District Court in New Haven ruled Thursday that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had proved that ''there is a perception in the black community that the town is closed to black employment, unwelcomingly hostile and resistant.'' However, he rejected charges ... |
Judge Dorsey ordered the town to come up with an aggressive minority hiring plan to present to the court within two weeks. |
Until two years ago, when it hired a black woman as the town's welfare director, there were no blacks among East Haven's 570 municipal and school employees. |
While blacks account for fewer than 1 percent of East Haven's 26,000 residents, Judge Dorsey noted that 36 percent of adjacent New Haven's 130,474 residents were black and that 12.2 percent of greater New Haven's population was black. |
But East Haven officials, including Mayor Joseph Maturo and Town Attorney Hugh Keefe, said they were satisfied with the decision because the judge had ruled that the N.A.A.C.P. had failed to prove its claim of intentional discrimination. |
Joshua Rose, an N.A.A.C.P. lawyer in Washington, said that the court decision was ''clearly a victory for the N.A.A.C.P.'' and that his firm would file additional motions to force the town to pay what was expected to be more than $100,000 in legal fees. The town has already spent $213,000 on its own legal fees. |
But Mr. Keefe said the N.A.A.C.P. was not entitled to legal fees because the town had offered before the lawsuit was filed to enact the very changes the group was seeking. The N.A.A.C.P. says the town never made an acceptable offer. |
The lawsuit was the first filed by the N.A.A.C.P. against a town without a formal residency requirement for town employees, Mr. Rose said, and its first hiring discrimination suit against a town in Connecticut. |
The Sprint edition of Google's flagship Android device gets FCC certified and moves one step closer to launch. |
The Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone has been given its FCC approval papers and is one step closer to release. |
Expected to arrive in the first half of this year, the pure Android 4.0 experience device will be one of Sprint's first handsets designed for the carrier's LTE network. Bearing the model number of SPH-L700, little else is revealed about the smartphone save for its support for Bluetooth, NFC, and presumably, Google Wall... |
Sprint adopted a similar strategy for its last pure Google handset, bringing the Nexus S 4G to the Now Network a few months after the initial release. If I were to guess, we might look for Sprint to make some form of announcement for its Galaxy Nexus at CTIA in May. |
