1. Cook it faster on all sides.
Trapping steam around cuts of meat as it cooks on the griddle means there’s more heat available that can start to cook through the sides and top of the meat. Instead of just heating up the bottom of the cut and waiting for that heat to rise through the center, you can cook all the sides simultaneously.
2. Don’t lose moisture.
Dry meat is hard to salvage, no matter how well it’s flavored. Closing the cuts of meat below a steam lid means the moisture can’t be whisked away by the air. The whole cooking environment is kept moist. It also means that a lot of the moisture returns to the meat so your staff doesn’t have to add more oils or sauces to hide the meat.
3. The meat is even less likely to stick.
A well-seasoned griddle surface makes it easy to lift cooked cuts of meat off of the surface. But it’s not always 100%. New griddles, inconsistently seasoned patches, and char on the meat’s surface can make the two stick together. But incorporating steaming into the cooking process means you’re more likely to be able to get the meat off the cooking surface without fighting it.

OP knew what rent she signed up to (on the basis of just her as a tenant, not her boyfriend too) and is apparenty fine with that. What Carol is paying is sort of irrelevant and none of her business. She's a subletter, as far as she is concerned Carol is her landlord. If she was a head lessee, would it matter what her landlord was paying for his mortgage? Of course not. Carol's arrangement with her family member is also none of her business. If OP thinks she can get a better deal on rent for her and her boyfriend together, she can go out and find a new apartment and give Carol notice. But "hey her rent seems high so it's not an issue for her to be an awful roommate and have her boyfriend essentially move in without permission" is not an argument.The Tennessee Democratic Party announced Monday that it has hired a campaign manager to lead its efforts to defeat a proposed constitutional amendment that deals with abortion.
Lisa Carter, a Florida native who most recentlyadvised Orlando candidate Val Demings, will lead the state party's opposition to proposed Amendment 1 to the Tennessee constitution. The amendment would overturn a 2000 state Supreme Court rulingthat abortion rights are covered under the state constitution and would give lawmakers the power "to enact, amend, or repeal statutes regarding abortion."
The question goes before voters in November.
"We are excited to have Lisa Carter and her depth of experience in this crucial fight for women and victims and against Amendment 1," said Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Roy Herron in a press release announcing her hiring. "If Roe is overturned, then Amendment 1 would let tea party Republicans compel Tennessee women to bear rapists' children and even deny couples the right to save the desperately ill wife's life. Lisa's job is to tell Tennesseans about this tea party Republican attempt to deny women, even victims of rape or incest or life-threatening disease, the right to choose."
Carter also will advise Democratic candidates this fall.

This design was percolating in my mind for about three years before I tackled making it. All of the designs are originally drawn or drafted using EQ8 software. I used fabrics from my stash to make it and the cheery, clear, saturated colors made it joyful to construct! The custom machine quilting enhances the designs beautifully!Which is so goofy.

Lewis CK is a poster child for whiteness and is from Mexico.

It’s not hard to grasp either.  Latin America is just like the US, except with more indigenous intermixing and less extermination.

You have white settlers, black slaves, and native Americans.  All in various proportions.  Along with more recent immigrants from varying groups.

It’s so easy to understand because it’s just like the US!

Hispanic isn’t a race, it’s a culture.  So you can be white, black, indigenous, mixed, or even Japanese as the case may be.

Like hello, Italians who settles in Buenos Aires aren’t suddenly a different *race* than those who settled in New York.What is a chief digital officer and how does the role differ from the rest of the C-suite?
Being a chief digital officer (CDO) can be a very tough gig. On the one hand, you're responsible for digitally transforming your organisation so that its health is guaranteed in the medium and short-term. On the other hand, you may be stepping on the toes of the CIO and CTO.
In some organisations, there is no official CDO role; it's just part and parcel of what the CIO or CTO do. But that is changing, and changing quickly in many organisations, as they realise that more focus is needed in this area and it's not necessarily something that can be bolted onto an existing job title.
Analyst firm Gartner predicts that by next year, 90% of large companies will have a CDO role in place. They also estimate that half of leading organisations will have a CDO with similar levels of strategic influence and authority as their CIO by 2020.
The CDO is the essential driving force behind an organisation's digital transformation strategy, and the man or woman charged with coordinating these efforts. Whoever takes up the mantle must outline and stick to a vision, as well must organise how different departments, from finance to IT, feed into this to meet any digital transformation goals.
Above all, the CDO must ensure the appropriate processes, procedures and technologies are used to their full potential so 'digital' becomes ingrained into the business - rather than something consigned to the back of the mind.
While encompassing a broad brief, a CDO's duties also carry a tremendous amount of responsibility given digital transformation is becoming increasingly key to nearly all businesses' future. It's the norm for CDOs to report straight to a firm's CEO, with far more discretion to act unilaterally than other key figures across a business may have perhaps.
What qualifications does a CDO need?
A CDO doesn't necessarily need a set roster of qualifications to carry out the role. The candidate could come from a varied background and of course, they may not only hold the role of CDO, but partake in activities linked to the company's digital strategy as part of their daily duties.
As digital transformation in becoming more commonplace, if an employee is carrying out some CDO duties as part of their wider role, there is a possibility that they may be promoted to CDO in future, as demands calls for it.
But does the job title really matter? If an employee remains in an alternative role, but still focuses on delivering value for the business through a time of change, does the label need to be so official?
Forrester Research's vice president and principal analyst Nigel Fenwick doesn't think so, as he conveyed in a blog post back in 2015, writing: "Let's not get too hung up on titles what really matters is the ability to combine a deep understanding of the customer with an understanding of how digital technology will drive new sources of customer value."
According to a report by PwC that looked into the qualities a CDO should possess in order to be successful in their role, it highlighted five personality traits that a CDO should have. 
Which one an organisation employs is very much dependent on the type of business and what they're trying to achieve, according to PwC.
"European companies are leading the field when it comes to hiring CDOs, with 13% having appointed someone for the role. However, as digital transformation continues to move up business agendas, it's time for those who haven't yet invested to prioritise filling the CDO position, as competition for the best talent will only increase," said Ashley Unwin, PwC's UK and EMEA consulting leader.
"Many organisations struggle to know where to start in recruiting for this newly created role. These five archetypes provide an overview of the different roles and responsibilities a CDO could hold in order to help companies work out the best fit for their specific needs and drive their organisation towards a digital future."
How much do CDOs earn?
Given how new the role itself is and the fact that many CDOs wear hats with different names, it's hard to say for sure what the earning potential is. Payscale reckons the average salary for a CDO in the US is around $200,000 so it's likely a UK-based CDO could expect a nice, fat pay packet at the end of each month.
According to Gartner, the average number of employees in a CDO's office is 38, but 66% of organisations surveyed expect that the allocated budget for the office will grow, meaning that a CDO could find themselves managing fast-growing teams. Companies like Wells Fargo, IBM, Aetna and Anc
