Nakai Curry

Nakai is a type of bivalve mulluscs found in Fiji, usually in the river.   

They have a chewier texture than mussels or pipis.  Sometimes you can find frozen nakai, imported from Fiji and sold at Indian grocers.  You can however, use mussels, pipis, cockles, periwinkles and other similar mulluscs if you can’t readily buy nakai.  You will get great results, just remember that your cooking time may not be as long as for nakai.  The recipe below is for ready prepped nakai, cleaned and all sand removed.

    Although “The Debt Trap” has a tendency to overstate for dramatic effect – asserting for instance that, with a 27% market share, Sallie Mae “controlled the student loan industry like few companies dominated any industry” – Mitchell generally delivers the goods by getting some of the sector’s most egregious villains to speak to him on-the-record.

    The overarching problem with the loan program the book identifies is that by simply guaranteeing repayment, the government incentivized schools and lenders to push students to enroll in programs for which they were ill-suited and expand programs without regard to the outcomes for students 카지노사이트

    Making these schools free for students will obviously reduce their debt load but shift this obligation onto the government’s ledger. More importantly, making community colleges the beneficiaries of a vast new entitlement program without addressing their current inadequacies will create an entirely new set of perverse incentives that could make matters even worse. 카지노사이트

    Both businesses and individuals are happy to receive government largess or protection, but are indignant if this comes with any strings. For my money, there are few phenomena less attractive than the exploitation of a regulatory arbitrage for corporate or personal financial gain by those who whine about the oppressive yoke of regulatory oversight. 카지노사이트

    Lyndon Johnson, as a Senator, was a driving force behind the original student loan program. He had only been able to attend the Southwest Texas State Teachers College because a local bank had concluded he demonstrated the “honesty, character, industry, and ability” required to secure a loan 인터넷카지노

    which he was indeed able to pay back. That is an awfully high threshold to meet and Johnson saw an important incremental role for the federal government to play to satisfy society’s needs for specific skills and individual citizens’ ability to realize their full potential. 카지노사이트
