How did the U.S. financial system fail to regulate their rates and loans accurately, contributing to the economic collapse? Answer according to: No one outside of economists and financial philosophers predicted nor expected a financial crisis during 2008, the same year the Lehman Brothers Holding collapsed. As Americans, we are known to begin pointing fingers as the situation deteriorates and the U.S. State has come to quite a few conclusions as to who is rightfully at fault, although everything that occurs should be considered as a chain cycle rather than specific factors.
Eventually, this leads to banks setting low margins and lending more than the specific amounts of collateral, creating “natural buyers” and causing inefficient markets.
As the monetary bank “lowers” the average down payment rate from a staggering 4% (originally 14%), U.S. home prices rises, and the amount of debt rises as well as synthetic collateralized debt. As the United States finally stumbles across what is wrong, they begin to increase the amount required for down payments but little do they realize that it’s become too late, eventually causing our economic collapse.
On the contrary, it’s delusional to blame our economic meltdown simply based off the fact that the U.S. and their monetary banks couldn’t regulate their financial system and rates. Even if banks were able to regulate the approved loans that certain individuals and families applied for, it does nothing but soften the blow because banks are unable to accurately measure the ability of taxpayers to pay off their loans, as well the credit quality of investments and mortgages which leads to poor investments for certain banks and companies. Eventually, everything leads to a loss of trust within the United States financial system, causing panic.
In a nutshell, our financial crisis occurred because of a chain effect known as “The Leverage Cycle”. The Leverage Cycle demonstrates how each poor decision by different organizations within the U.S. State leads to one another, causing a domino effect.

The three ships look surprisingly small for an ocean voyage. Even smaller when you consider that 104 passengers were crammed into them for five months. Reproductions of the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery sit at anchor in a cove of the James River not far from where the original ships landed on a May day in 1607. They came in three sizes to ensure access to the rivers they would need to navigate. And since this was unknown territory, no one knew how wide or deep the rivers would be. The ships had only large rudders, the Dutch would not invent the captain’s wheel for another 110 years.
Jamestown, a tiny English foothold named for King James I on a sliver of land in Virginia, laid the foundation of what would eventually become the United States of America. No, the Pilgrims in Plymouth were not here first. Sadly, the people that interpret Jamestown must continue to fight against misconceptions about founding settlements (Plymouth was 1620).
2007 marked the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, England’s first permanent settlement North America. The occasion was celebrated with a special visit from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and an ambitious archaeological excavation that unearthed the foundations of the original fort at Jamestown, thought to have succumbed to the river’s tides a long time ago.
Today three historical organizations claim a piece of the Jamestown story: the National Park Service and Preservation Virginia interpret the actual site where the settlers built a fort and lived in the first years. It includes the fort site and an archaeological museum. On an adjacent site, the State of Virginia built a reconstructed fort, a reconstructed Powhatan Indian village, and the three ships. Plus, a newly renovated visitor center featuring a new permanent exhibition that looks at three “parent” cultures that collided at Jamestown. 17th century England forced itself onto Virginia’s Powhatan Indians. By 1619 the first documented African immigrants arrived and the legacy of slavery began to take root. This complex mix of cultures created a rich story that gets lost in the simplistic American creation myths. Yes, Captain John Smith and Powhatan Indian Pocahontas were the heroes and probably did help save the colony, no, they did not look like the Disney cartoon characters, no, they did not have a romantic relationship, and it is doubtful that Pocahontas saved Smith’s life by throwing her body in front of the clubs that were going to beat him to death. That was his story, written years after anyone could dispute it, and written without a knowledge of Powhatan customs.
The galleries include new archaeological information discovered in the past fifteen years and more than 500 artifacts. They attempt to tell the latest scholarship, including an exploration of the real Pocahontas. Plus, large full-scale dioramas depict a Powhatan Indian setting, a dwelling in Angola, Africa, and an English street.
Jamestown Settlement does an excellent job at interpreting a complex story and raising many questions. Walking through the reconstructed fort or ships helps those visual learners among us to use our senses to imagine life in a new world as an English colonist or life in a Powhatan Indian village on the James River.
Interesting facts: English women did not come to Jamestown until 1608, John Smith only lived in Jamestown for a little over two years, Pocahontas died in England in 1617, and the first representative legislative assembly in British America met at Jamestown in 1619.

What misconceptions and myths about the founding of settlements in North America does the Jamestown Settlement aim to dispel, and how does it interpret the complex cultural exchange between the English colonists, Powhatan Indians, and African immigrants?

Sorry it's not spring yet. But you can laugh and time travel and spook yourself just the same. After a week where it seemed like an early spring was inbound, the weather has once again turned chilly, lulling those of us in the northern half of the country into a false sense of comfort before yanking our hopes of a warm weekend away from us all. That's okay, because while weather may frequently disappoint us, we've always got a whole mess of streaming movies and TV to turn to. Here's some stuff to check out this weekend. If you want a fun standup special: There's a lot of standup on Netflix, but the truly good stuff only comes in fits and starts. It's been four years since the last time Mike Birbiglia dropped a special, and Thank God For Jokes is the standup comedy follow-up punch to the comedic polymath's 2016 feature Don't Think Twice (which you should also track down, because that cast is stacked). Birbiglia's a great aw-shucks comedian to kick back with at home, and terribly smart, too. Perfect if you're among a John Mulaney-loving crowd. Welcome to the family, Marty. Because time travel is so hot right now: Really, it is. Just this weekend alone, there are two time travel shows premiering: The "Jack the Ripper, but in the present" drama Time After Time, and the Adam Pally comedy Making History. Turns out there's a few good time travel picks on Netflix, too: Like Primer, the head-spinning indie film by mad genius Shane Carruth, which might have the most plausible method of time travel in all of fiction. Or Midnight in Paris, if you're feeling a little more classy and Owen Wilson-y. Or, if you want something absolutely insane, check out Kung Fury, because it sure is... something. Hey, have you seen Get Out? Regardless of whether you have or have not (and you should), now's a good time to watch or revisit some classic social thrillers that inspired it, or are in step with its mission of smartly telling very good horror stories steeped in societal issues. On Netflix, this means stuff like The Shining, The Babadook, or It Follows—all of which are infinitely rewatchable. Can you recommend a good stand-up comedy special on Netflix to watch this weekend?

The Transport Research Foundation commissioned TRL Limited to carry out research on the propagation and screening of noise generated by the interaction between vehicle tyres and road surfaces. The research was undertaken in 2000/01.
The report describes the novel application of a 3-dimensional boundary element method to the problem of determining noise propagation from a truck tyre fitted to a steadily moving vehicle. The report considers the problem of the trade off between computational efficiency and calculation accuracy, and the mathematical representation of the surface of the tyre and the sources of tyre noise. The report also describes the use of this approach in the initial development of potential forms of shields and enclosures to reduce noise propagating to the far field. It also discusses how the calculations of the sound field in the region of the tyre and wheel arch might be applied to determine noise levels at further distances. Based on the passage above, Can you summarize the research conducted by TRL Limited on the propagation and screening of noise generated by vehicle tyres and road surfaces commissioned by the Transport Research Foundation?

Welcome back to part two of our sit down with Michael Barber of Barber&Hewitt. Last week, Michael gave us a run down of how we are doing email wrong and how as marketers, we are wasting this amazing marketing channel. If you did happen to miss last weeks podcast, go back and listen to get the full conversation. Michael has graciously given us his presentation slides for our listeners to have for future reference. Download it here and follow along in this podcast. You can also read our blog entitled, the same as Michael Barber’s presentation, “Make Email Great Again,” here as well. The fifth tip to making email great again is automation and triggers. Michael talks about making our emails timely, targeted, and relevant. To do that, you have to gather great data. You have opened the door for the rest of us to be creepy. Thumbs up. Jason uses the word parlay again. You MUST setup a Welcome email series. It’s the single most important email campaign you will ever work on. The sixth tip to making email great again is always say hello. By saying hello, you are making the client feel more comfortable with you and your brand. Take the opportunity to say hello when you can. The seventh tip to making email great again is to speak to the recipient like a human. Stop using the marketing mumbo jumbo and create emails that are applicable to your recipients. Of all the tips he has given, the number one thing you should be doing is making sure you are authenticated. If you aren’t getting into the inbox, you are wasting time. You heard it, folks, we will be doing MORE graphics with Michael. Jason and Zack recap the conversation while adding a couple of elements to the conversation. Jason took a look back at what Hotmail looked like back in the day. Nothing has majorly changed with email. The only thing that has changed is how marketers have started to use it and how people interact with their inbox. Jason has Gmail emails from 2007. WOW! That’s crazy. 94 Billion SPAM messages sent a day. WOAH! We are screwing this up, guys! 78% of emails are marked as SPAM. Come on, guys! Setup and opt-in for people to select how many times they want to see your content in a month. It will increase your open and click-through rate. Think about setting up a re-engagement campaign to get more people to re-engage with your email. Get your list active. It boils down to that email is just two people having a conversation. That’s how we make email great again. This podcast was recorded at Brooklyn Cafe in Atlanta, GA. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was incredible, and the staff did a fantastic job. If you’re in the area, be sure to check them out. How can marketers gather great data to make their emails timely, targeted, and relevant?

Can you tell me more about the challenges you faced while bridging Vbulletin with other platforms and creating a custom theme?: It was in 2006 when I started my own company and by then I used to create websites for myself in order to get advertisement.

Me and my team were working hard not only to bridge Vbulletin with other platforms but we also had to create a nice theme as the default was really very very bad! A good example is the e-female website. We bridged Vbulletin with Wordpress and modified style on every single page. Even images on text editor! As regards newborn Wordpress, we were also having hard times to make it work almost as today.

My first written poem. The title simply signifies the teenage years and I feel as if it really dug deep into my 17 year old head. Please tell me what you thought of it.
he begins to learn the rules of thier game.
known to most as grammar and punctuation.
but noun, verb, and adjective are the starters.
his own team and becomes an author.
and slowly his playbook thickens.
the distance and together become champions.
and a few meager symbols in between.
A few thoughts on poetry.
Or in cutlery for the wealthy.
I'm sure silver does not like being silver.
I wouldn't want to be silver.
I think gold is what silver wants to be.
So much that others fight for it.
Though that would make it worthless.
While silver is a reserved one.

Given the text: Goh Chok Tong confirmed he would step down as Singapore's prime minister this year but not before placing potential checks on the powers of his successor.
The moves come amid concerns about the increased concentration of power among family members of Lee Kuan Yew, modern Singapore's founding father.
Mr Goh is expected to be succeeded by Lee Hsien Loong, Kuan Yew's son, while his wife, Ho Ching, is already head of Temasek Holdings, the powerful state investment agency that controls most of the city-state's leading companies and is emerging as a formidable investor in the region.
Mr Goh told Singapore's Straits Times newspaper that he wanted to introduce a system where members of parliament affiliated to the long-ruling People's Action party (PAP), which holds all but two parliamentary seats, must first approve the prime minister before he takes office.
This would represent a step towards the democratisation of the PAP, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, since the party has maintained a top-down Leninist structure that reflects its leftwing origins.
Although the party presents a united front to the public, there are indications of internal differences between a socially riented "grassroots" wing headed by Mr Goh and a conservative technocratic wing led by Mr Lee.
A widening income gap between rich and poor and increased unemployment have provoked a debate on whether the government should focus on social issues or cut wages to improve the business environment to attract foreign investment.
Mr Goh has been popular in Singapore, but informal internet polls suggest that public support for Mr Lee is lukewarm because he is regarded as an aloof figure who lacks a populist touch.
The prime minister said he would conduct a cabinet reshuffle before he resigned, which some analysts believe indicates that he wants to retain influence in the new government under Mr Lee.
Mr Goh is also expected to be appointed to the advisory post of senior minister in the new government, a post that is also held by Lee Kuan Yew.
Mr Goh refused to name a handover date, since he said he still had "important jobs" to complete, including a series of meetings with foreign leaders such as President George W. Bush in the next few months.
"If I give a date now, when I go overseas they will say, 'Oh, you're in your last week of your prime ministership'," Mr Goh was quoted as saying by the pro-government Straits Times.
Mr Goh, prime minister since 1990, said in December he would hand over power to Mr Lee if the economy expanded by at least 3 per cent in the first quarter of 2004, which would signal a long-awaited recovery. The economy grew by 7.3 per cent, according to the latest government data.
The younger Mr Lee is now deputy prime minister, finance minister and central bank chairman.
What is the proposed system that Goh Chok Tong wants to introduce related to the prime minister in Singapore?

Can you provide a recipe for Bananas Foster?: Paul Blangé, who invented Bananas Foster, knew what he was doing in the kitchen. Butter and brown sugar were a match made in heaven, cinnamon and rum are so perfect together, and what better way to round off the sweetness than the addition of a bit of citrus zest?
In large sauté pan, over medium heat, melt butter, then add brown sugar.
Add lemon luice, orange juice and orange zest (if you don't have a zester you can finely grate the orange peel). Continue to cook until brown sugar has cooked to a syrup.
Peel bananas. Cut them lengthwise, then in thirds. You want the pieces to be about two inches long. Add bananas to brown sugar syrup in the pan.
Add the rum and cinnamon. Heat for just about 45 seconds. You want the bananas to remain firm.
Spoon warm bananas in rum-flavored syrup over vanilla ice cream.

Two key criteria for SR&ED eligibility are the presence of Technological Uncertainties and Technological Advancements. When faced with the former, a company presses on in hope of the latter. But that definition is very relative, short, and not terribly comprehensive, so let’s explore more exact definitions of the meaning of Technological Uncertainties and Technological Advancements.
Scientific or technological advancement is the generation of information or the discovery of knowledge that advances the understanding of scientific relations or technology. One implication of advancement is that the new knowledge could be useful to other situations or circumstances beyond the current project in which the advance was made.
Scientific or technological uncertainty means whether a given result or objective can be achieved or how to achieve it, is not known or determined on the basis of generally available scientific or technological knowledge or experience. This definition encompasses the definition of scientific uncertainty, technological uncertainty and technological obstacle. The only difference is that scientific uncertainty relates to science whereas technological uncertainty and technological obstacle relate to technology.
Let’s explore these ideas a bit closer to a layperson’s perspective.
When your company is chugging along with its project and encounters a problem that can’t be resolved with your proprietary knowledge or standard practices, and you can’t readily find the answer via Google or Stack Overflow or any other source of generally available scientific or technological knowledge or experience, you’ve just encountered Technological Uncertainty. This might not be at the beginning of your project, but it does mark the beginning of the SR&ED project.
When your company has already encountered Technological Uncertainty, worked through its iterative scientific developmental approach, and generates reusable scientific or technological knowledge you didn’t previously possess and was not available from the public domain, you’ve reached a Technological Advancement. Your advancement might result in developing a newer or improved process or product, or it can even be comprehensive knowledge about why a process or product will not work. You can then reuse the process or repeatedly make the new product with this new knowledge you’ve gained; or in the latter case, avoid wasting resources on a given approach because you conclusively understand why you shouldn’t.
Sometimes, claimants confuse the outcome of their work with the technological advancement. It’s not difficult to see why, but a distinction needs to be made. The outcome of your work may be reduced complexity of a process, or increased efficiency of a process, but the Technological Advancement lies in the how of what you achieved. It’s the specific knowledge you gained to advance the given area of technology or science, proving you know and have recorded for future use how you managed to reduce complexity or increase efficiency of a process. For SR&ED purposes, the expression of knowledge and understanding, and how it’s unique to your industry or wasn’t publicly available at the time, is more important than the result of your gained knowledge and how it helped your bottom line.
Technological Uncertainty requires some doubt about how a problem can be solved for a process or product. However, the source of the doubt is a key point of distinction.
A technical problem is something that can be solved with the existing technological or scientific knowledge base—you can look up how to fix it and find a readily available solution, or ask an expert within your company who has run into this technical problem before. Once you overcome this problem, that hasn’t resulted in a scientific/technological advancement, though it did help fix your process or product and may even help you make the process/product slightly better than before in some cases.
That’s why describing your final product and what it can do, doesn’t describe a technological advancement. What you need to identify in your SR&ED report is how you couldn’t have solved the problem with existing knowledge readily available to you, and therefore couldn’t have been completely sure that what you would try to do would actually work—you could only form hypotheses to test, and observe the results, hoping something would work.
If you or your company has a project that you feel might have encountered Technological Uncertainty, resulting in a Technological Advancement, but you’re still not completely sure, feel free to contact the experts at SRED Unlimited.
Can you summarize the key criteria for SR&ED eligibility and explain what constitutes technological uncertainties and technological advancements?

Here is a piece of text: Susanna Florence, left, and Dee-Dee Darby-Duffin in a scene from "The Weird Play," premiering March 1 at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center.
SALT LAKE CITY — When you buy a new car, you suddenly see the same make and model everywhere. It’s as if nearly all the world’s drivers had been driving your car this whole time.
Jenifer Nii felt the same way. Instead of a car, though, it was love and relationships.
"I took all these questions I had, both professional personal, and smashed them all together," said Salt Lake City playwright Jenifer Nii, pictured, about her new production, "The Weird Play."
This is Nii’s sixth play at Plan-B, and she said “The Weird Play” challenged her in ways no other play had before. As she began writing it and noticing the seemingly universal nature of love itself, she wanted to push that hypothesis to its theatrical limits. As such, there are no age or gender requirements for the play’s three characters — they could be played by anyone. Nii and Plan-B have workshopped “The Weird Play” a few times, each with different cast demographics.
Some audience members, she said, were sure “The Weird Play” was about parents and children. At other readings, audiences were certain it was faith. For others, they thought it was about an abusive heterosexual relationship.
“And it was so interesting because they were so sure,” Nii recalled. She likes it this way, though. Her goal, she said, was to have each audience member step into the story and find themselves in it.
All of this didn’t come easy for Nii, though. “The Weird Play” began at a personal crossroads.
One day, Nii made a list of her shortcomings. One column was dedicated to professional/technical weaknesses — utilizing sets, using props, getting characters to physically move and interact. The other column focused on her personal, nonprofessional fears. At the top of this second column, she said, was love.
She started leaning into those professional weaknesses, writing characters and scenes that at first seemed clumsy, amateurish and untidy. That exercise, she said, required that she not be so hard on herself. As it turns out, that self-criticism wasn’t just Nii’s professional shortcoming, but her personal one as well. As she’s worked on “The Weird Play,” Nii said she’s learned to loosen the tension on herself and her own expectations — though she doesn’t claim to have any big “aha” answers for anyone. Love still baffles and eludes her.
“I think when you look at fear, and when you let fear look at you, it can either be really, really devastating or it can help you,” she said. “You can let yourself ask the questions, and maybe allow yourself ugly answers — or to admit that you don’t have them.
_Content advisory_: “The Weird Play” contains instances of strong language.
Court Mann Court Mann is the assistant Arts & Entertainment editor.

She is the vessels on the table before her: the copper pot tipped toward us, the white pitcher clutched in her hand, the black one edged in red and upside down. Bent over, she is the mortar and the pestle at rest in the mortar—still angled in its posture of use. She is the stack of bowls and the bulb of garlic beside it, the basket hung by a nail on the wall and the white cloth bundled in it, the rag in the foreground recalling her hand. She’s the stain on the wall the size of her shadow— the color of blood, the shape of a thumb. She is echo of Jesus at table, framed in the scene behind her: his white corona, her white cap. Listening, she leans into what she knows. Light falls on half her face.
I am four in this photograph, standing on a wide strip of Mississippi beach, my hands on the flowered hips of a bright bikini. My toes dig in, curl around wet sand. The sun cuts the rippling Gulf in flashes with each tidal rush. Minnows dart at my feet glinting like switchblades. I am alone except for my grandmother, other side of the camera, telling me how to pose. It is 1970, two years after they opened the rest of this beach to us, forty years since the photograph where she stood on a narrow plot of sand marked colored, smiling, her hands on the flowered hips of a cotton meal-sack dress.
1 In 1959 my mother is boarding a train. She is barely sixteen, her one large grip bulging with homemade dresses, whisper of crinoline and lace, her name stitched inside each one. She is leaving behind the dirt roads of Mississippi, the film of red dust around her ankles, the thin whistle of wind through the floorboards of the shotgun house, the very idea of home.
Ahead of her, days of travel, one town after the next, and California, a word she can’t stop repeating. Over and over she will practice meeting her father, imagine how he must look, how different now from the one photo she has of him. She will look at it once more, pulling into the station at Los Angeles, and then again and again on the platform, no one like him in sight.
she is sure we can leave home, bound only for whatever awaits us, the sun now setting behind us, the rails humming like anticipation, the train pulling us toward the end of another day. I watch each small town pass before my window until the light goes, and the reflection of my mother’s face appears, clearer now as evening comes on, dark and certain. Based on the passage above, Can you summarize the description of the woman in the first paragraph?

Ernő Téglás has obtained his PhD from SISSA, Trieste, where he investigated the role of probability representations in infants' understanding of uncertain events. Since than his interests focused on the origins of rationality in the development of deductive and probabilistic reasoning. His recent research is guided by questions targeting preverbal infants' access to abstract concepts and logical operations (funded by an ERC Starting grant), asking how do infants acquire the conceptual sophistication necessary for abstract combinatorial thought involved in everyday reasoning.

This could potentially show the trauma inflicted on children who were forcibly removed from their parents by the SS.
That’s really interesting and could make for an excellent research project. Assuming the process isn’t invasive, take a sample from the kids prior to being taken into care and then another sample some time after – but the technology would need to be able to show rates of abuse (increase) and I don’t know if the tech is that sophisticated yet.
Or could it be the System dont want it to be.
I don’t think so in this instance. The research comes from the scientific community, which is deeply competitive. Whoever can produce the most advanced and sophisticated insights wins the day.
Could you provide more details or clarification on the proposed method for conducting the research mentioned in the text material?

Can you provide a summary of Audra McDonald's career and her upcoming concert at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts?
Generate according to: Sondheim stands out from other composers and lyricists for his delight in playing with dissonance, discord and cacophony. His productions don't necessarily receive rave reviews or sellout crowds at first, but they mellow like fine wine — and now are considered standards for theater companies worldwide.
Like Stephen Sondheim, Audra McDonald will be making a one-night stand at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
On Saturday night, the actress and singer, recipient of three Tony Awards before she was 30, returns to the center for a single show to open the center's 2011-2012 Cabaret Series.
The star of the ABC series "Private Practice," McDonald and her melodious voice (and equally unsurpassable form) rose quickly from regional stages to Broadway to film and television. She has now earned four Tony Awards and two Grammys.
The concert tour is the latest metamorphosis in McDonald's career, following four successful seasons on television. She soon will appear onstage in New York in a new adaptation of Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess."
Tickets for McDonald's concert start at $25.

I had long thought that stewing beef would work well in a slow cooked curry, but it was only recently that I tried it out. I’m pleased to report that it works very, very well. The meat is soft and delicious, the potatoes take on the subtle flavours of the spices and the coconut milk and peanuts make it rich and tasty. The best thing about this is that you can put it in the slow cooker at lunch time and then you don’t have to do anything until you add the peanuts and boil some rice at dinner time. In fact I now put this in the slow cooker first thing in the morning on low and it happily cooks gently all day, I just add the potatoes at lunch time. Our current frying pan isn’t very big so I have devised this recipe so that not all the ingredients need to be in the pan at once. This is a good curry for children as it’s more ‘warming’ than spicy, plus there are no onions for them to pick out. We’ve made this twice in the last month and it’s set to become a regular feature in our kitchen as it also smells great simmering away on a cold snowy day. Another reason to love it is…there is no chopping to do! It makes enough for 6 people. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the beef. Turn once to seal the meat until it’s browned on both sides. Tip the beef and juices into a preheated hot slow cooker on high. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream from the top of the can into the ‘dirty’ frying pan. Cook over a medium heat until melted then add the curry paste and cook for 1 more minute. Add the sugar, tamarind paste, peanut butter and fish sauce and stir to combine, then add the cinnamon stick, bay leaves and cardamom pods. Stir in the rest of the coconut milk (if it will fit) and pour this mix over the beef. If it doesn’t all fit in your pan just pour everything in to the slow cooker and mix it there. You can deglaze the pan by pouring the stock in and boiling briefly, then sloshing that into the slow cooker too. I like to cook it on high for an hour or two to get the heat through everything then I turn it down to low for 6-8 hours. Don’t stir it too much or you will break up the potatoes. 20 minutes before you are ready to eat add the peanuts then serve with plain boiled rice. As one who uses my slow cooker on an almost weekly basis to stew a roast, this sounds just too good to pass up. First I translate the English in to American and start to gather the ingredients. Unfortunately since members of the Welsh Guard band took me out for curry in London, I love almost anything curry. It sounds so good. I have added the meat qty in pounds and hopefully all the other measurements are suitably vague! That is the way of (my) cooking. Beautiful curry! And great to know that the stewing beef works well…. Thank you Kathy – and yes you can also leave the meat quite big as it falls apart when it’s cooked. Quite a cheap dish too. Not my best photo as I had to take it late at night with flash and George holding a reflector board…but it sure tastes good. It sounds like a lot of ingredients but a lot of them are things I have in stock a lot of the time anyway. I’m sure you could be quite flexible with what you added too…I bet any curry paste would work for example. Yum! When stewing beef is on sale at the local butcher I always struggle to find a good recipe, other than ordinary Irish stew types of things. Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks Wendy – Do let me know if you give it a go! Oh wow, this does look nice! we usually do a Tikka Masala in the slow cooker and the kids love that but I’m definitely going to give this a go. it looks good!! Thai food is one of my favorite!! Nice recipe! I have a couple of Massaman recipes but not one for my slow cooker, which I don’t use nearly enough. Just made this and it was to die for- made it with coconut cream (picked up the wrong can) and it made a very rich curry. Also did not have any cardamom pods so i swapped them out for some star anise. So yummy. What are the key ingredients in the slow cooked curry recipe and how can it be prepared in a slow cooker?

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: How was Michael Flynn able to obtain a five-year renewal of his security clearance even after questionable financial activities and warnings?
Passage: The White House and President Trump's transition team reportedly did a background check on former national security adviser Michael Flynn in addition to his already approved security clearance, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow reported Friday evening.
"NBC News has learned from sources close to the Trump-Russia investigation that both the Trump transition and the White House did do a background check on Flynn," Maddow said on her program, citing reporting from NBC's Andrea Mitchell.
"This is in addition to his already approved security clearance. They did a background check on Flynn specifically for him to become national security adviser."
Trump and other White House officials have blamed former President Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaSenate needs to stand up to Trump's Nixonian view of the Fed Beyoncé in 'Time 100' profile: Michelle Obama empowers black Americans New Broadway play 'Hillary and Clinton' debuts MORE for authorizing Flynn's security clearance. Flynn served as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency under Obama before advising Trump's campaign and joining his administration.
Maddow said Friday that NBC reporting showed that "the vetting of Flynn was done and sources close to the investigation tell NBC that it was done 'very casually.'"
"One person involved tells NBC that the Trump transition was aware of Flynn's business ties to Turkey," she said.
Flynn, who was forced out of Trump's White House after misleading officials about his conversation with Russia's ambassador about sanctions, received a five-year renewal of his security clearance in January 2016.
A former Obama aide hit back Friday at attempts by Trump officials to blame the previous administration.
The House Oversight Committee said earlier this week that Flynn may have broken the law by taking payments from Russia and Turkey without approval from the military and State Department. He had reportedly been previously warned against taking such payments.
According to Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Flynn applied to renew his security clearance — using a Form SF-86 — in January 2016, a month after he traveled to Moscow to give a paid speech.
