唐納德·川普對巴西徵收關稅，言過其實
最近，媒體普遍認為英國勞動市場的復甦依賴低薪工作。一份新報告顯示，近年來，收入低於中位數三分之二和低於中位數一半的員工比例並沒有顯著變化。媒體是不是找錯對象了？答案是「並非如此」。
There has been a widespread media narrative recently which says that the British labour market recovery has relied on low-paying jobs. A new report now shows that the proportion of employees earning below two-thirds of median income and below half of median income has not changed dramatically in recent years. Has the media been barking up the wrong tree? The answer is "not really" http://econ.st/1oDqWjd
Impressive-looking yet quick and simple to make, this confection makes a perfect holiday or hostess gift.
more about:
- 10 oz. bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao), broken into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (from 1 large pomegranate)
- 1-1/2 Tbs. minced candied ginger
- 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or waxed paper.
Put the chocolate in a wide, shallow microwave-safe bowl and microwave
on high until it just starts to melt, about 1 minute. Stir with a
spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, heating in
additional 15-second increments, if necessary.
Gently stir half of the pomegranate seeds, the ginger (break up any clumps with your fingers), and the salt into the chocolate. Scrape the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it into an 8x10-inch rectangle. Sprinkle the remaining pomegranate seeds evenly over the top, pressing them into the chocolate. refrigerate until fully set, about 30 minutes. Break the bark into chunks with your hands (be careful not to crush the seeds), and serve.

bark is worse than one's bite,
A person seems more hostile or aggressive than is the case, as in Dad sounds very grouchy in the morning, but his bark's worse than his bite. This phrase was a proverb by the mid-1600s.
out of sortsIrritable, grouchy, as in Don't ask him today--he's out of sorts. This expression also implies that one's poor spirits result from feeling slightly ill. [Early 1600s] The synonym out of humor, on the other hand, used more in Britain than America, simply means "ill-tempered" or "irritable." [Mid-1600s]
