The London Times Higher Education section of May 22 has an extensive and on the whole excellent article on student professor sexual relationships with the focus being on relationships in UK universities. It is interesting to see the differences between American and British attitudes on the subject. Following are presented key sections of the article with the dankprofessor's comments in the text. This article definitely merits reading in its entirety by anyone who is seriously interested in the subject; click here for the full text. My comments are highlighted in blue.
When dramatist Stephen Lowe took up a post as visiting writer at Dartington College of Arts, he expected the job to boost his theatre career. What he hadn't anticipated was that he would meet his life partner. Lowe, then 31, fell for his 21-year-old undergraduate student Tanya Myers. After 27 years, the pair still live and work together and are the parents of two children.
It may sound like the contrived plot of a campus novel, but Lowe's story is not unique. Despite widespread concern about abuse of power and conflicts of interest, sexual relationships between tutor and student often flourish within academe.
"I have altogether too much experience of teachers engaging in sexual relations with students, both their own students and (those of) their colleagues," remembers Alan Ryan, now warden of New College, Oxford. He looks back on his early career at Keele University with fond memories of the relationships that began between young academics and their students. "In my misspent youth, my ability to resist temptation was not great, and since I started teaching in the early 1960s, and new faculty were mostly only a couple of years older than the finalists, the discovery of sexual pleasure was a shared experience," he says.
"Of the affairs I remember, an awful lot turned into highly successful marriages, though a good many were simple flings," he says. "There were, of course, spectacular characters who weren't like this at all. Freddie (A.J.) Ayer (the philosopher) fell into bed with everyone who was remotely willing, and an awful lot of young women were very happy to tick him off on the list of famous professors they had laid."
Attitudes are beginning to harden, however. Like their US counterparts, which have historically been stricter on campus relationships, British universities are starting to crack down on such liaisons. Policies are being drafted to deal with relationships and the inevitable conflicts of interest that can follow – as one might put it, "an A for a lay". Questions of morality and responsibility, sexuality and pedagogy are being raised.
But however an institution chooses to tackle the problem, it's certainly not going to disappear. As Ryan points out: "The availability of partners is a geographical matter; if you are cooped up on a campus, who are you likely to fall into bed with?"
It is hard for the dankprofessor to imagine an American university administrator speaking so openly about this issue and ones prior involvements with students as Alan Ryan, warden of New College, Oxford. Ryan's final observation that it is a matter of geography is completely correct- eligible men and women "cooped up on a campus" cannot be prevented from fraternizing no matter how hard university moralists and administrators try to eliminate these relationships. The only way to eliminate these relationships is to eliminate campus life as we know it and replace it with so-called online education.
In the UK, attitudes towards relationships in academe are changing rather more slowly. In 2005, figures revealed after a Freedom of Information Act request by Times Higher Education showed that 50 out of 102 institutions had no policy requiring staff to declare sexual or other relationships with students that might give rise to a conflict of interest. Of those that did, few appeared to apply them: just 17 universities had any current records on file.
In the same year, 18 per cent of respondents to a poll conducted by the Teacher Support Network said that they had had a sexual relationship with a student. Despite this, only 73 relationships were officially recorded and just five of these were defined as sexual or romantic. Many respondents, 62 per cent, said they did not know whether or not their university had a protocol on such matters.
Nevertheless, attitudes among academics have already shifted. "Many more of my colleagues now teach one to one with the room door open. I also know that there are people who avoid teaching certain topics," says Mary Beard, professor of Classics at Newnham College, Cambridge. "That can't be a good thing."
She remembers two personal stories of close but non-sexual relationships that flourished at the university. While an undergraduate, Beard regularly spent long weekends with her tutor, who was decades her senior. Although the relationship was purely pedagogical, she admits that his motives may have been rather different from hers. Similarly, as a tutor, Beard formed a friendship with a young male student who eventually helped teach her to drive, sitting as her passenger regularly while she practised and improved.
"In the Oxbridge of the Twenties and Thirties, students went on holiday with their tutors," she says. "It wouldn't happen now. It's hard to know where the barrier lies between institutional rules and a change in the culture. I think it's very hard to know which is which," she adds.
"In some ways we have to accept that there is an erotic dimension to pedagogy. If you take a traditional Oxbridge-style tutorial system, that's one thing that students love and it's some of the most interesting teaching when you really get to know someone. That doesn't mean it's about feeling someone up, but it is passionate. The difficulty is that that's a terribly sexy experience; two people sitting together really talking through how Latin love poetry works. How do you desexualise that?"
Of course, you can't desexualize it. But no matter the moralists on and off campus will do their damnest to repress it. The dankprofessor has often speculated that those who are so involved in sexual repression may very well find their repressive activities to be quite sexually gratifying.
"I think it's a tricky moral dilemma," Beard says. "I think it's undeniable that some students and staff have been hurt by these kinds of relationships. I think it's also undeniable that there have been people who have gained from them."
But for some, whatever the age of the two individuals, the power relationship inherent between tutor and student means that sexual contact is tantamount to abuse of that power.
A decade ago, Paul Norris, then a social sciences lecturer at Southampton Institute (now Southampton Solent University), caused controversy when he left his wife for a student. He had previously been disciplined by the institution in 1992 for having a sexual relationship with a student on a course he both taught and assessed. His wife, who vowed to set up a support group for other women in her position, claimed that lecturers "perceive sex with students as a perk of the job". "It seems common to me, and universities seem very blase," she stated.
Yes, the Norris case was a notorious one in the UK. It was made notorious in part by his wife who set up a support group of wives who were left by their professor husbands for a younger student. Of course, banning older married men from having sex with younger women may very well be a fantasy for women such as the wife of Paul Norris. No question that in the competition between women for mates, younger women generally have a competitive edge.
One senior lecturer working in London says she has seen too many young people distressed by the break-up of such relationships. When she conducted a straw poll among a group of colleagues and students, only two people felt it was wrong for a tutor to have a relationship with a student – a figure she cannot understand. She says relationships are formed because tutors prey on the naivety of students or because knowing young men and women use a member of staff for their own ends.
Now this prior paragraph certainly represents the Americanized purity feminist approach on this subject
In their book The Lecherous Professor, Billie Wright Dziech and Linder Weiner comment: "Few students are ever, in the strictest sense, consenting adults. A student can never be the genuine equal of a professor insofar as his professional position gives him power over her … Whether the student consents to the involvement or whether the professor ever intends to use his power against her is not the point. The issue is that the power and the role disparity always exist."
And here is the hardcore attitude. Billie Dziech has done more than any academic to facilitate the banning of these relationships by arguing ad nauseum that few students can ever be consenting adults when it comes to relationships with professors.
Brian Martin, lecturer in the department of science and technology at Wollongong University, Australia, agrees. He has written on the issue on numerous occasions, citing his concerns at the lack of action being taken by universities on the matter.
"University teachers hold positions of trust. They are expected to design teaching programmes and carry out their teaching duties to help their students develop as mature thinkers … for impressionable young students, the boundaries between intellectual development and personal life may easily become blurred," he says.
"Even if academic evaluations are kept completely independent of personal involvements, it is likely that there will be an appearance of bias in the eyes of other students. When a key academic, who should be a mentor, shows a keen interest in a student's body, it often sends a signal that their intellect is of secondary importance. The impact on the student's self-confidence can be devastating."
He is also dismissive of the value of formal institutional policies. "I don't think policies on their own make a lot of difference," he says. "Many policies exist, but I'm not aware of any studies examining whether they are enforced."
Yes, I also know of no studies relating to the enforcement of these sexual codes or the effectiveness of said enforcement. Such should not be surprising since enforcement is usually in secret and secret police aka administrators hardly ever want their practices evaluated. Secrecy gives license to the the enforcers to do what they want to do.
The potential for abuse of power is certainly an important issue, and one that is well recognised and well understood. Nevertheless, most personal relationships entered into by people in all walks of life involve some basic balancing of power and control. One should perhaps not expect relationships that grow within academe to be immune or exempt from these concerns.
Universities UK says that it is up to individual institutions to decide what their policy is on such "sensitive" areas and to implement those. There are no broad guidelines available to UK universities to help them draft a policy, but nationally the Office of the Independent Adjudicator can pick up cases where, for example, sexual harassment is claimed and the university itself is unable to resolve the case.
"They will consider extenuating circumstances that a student claims affected their performance and the institution didn't adequately respond to – this could include a relationship with an academic," a UK spokesperson confirmed.
This kind of careful "monitoring" of relationships leaves many academics cold, but while threats of sexual harassment cases loom there seems little alternative for universities. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that most individuals would not choose to begin a sexual or romantic relationship in their workplace or with a person for whom they have direct managerial or pedagogical responsibility. As Lowe comments of his own experience: "It's a difficult place to have a relationship. It's embarrassing whatever you do."
With that in mind, academics advocate a soft approach to the enforcement of the rules. "I think the institution has to look out for people and make sure everybody looks out for each other," Beard states. "I think a kind of police state where everybody is sniffing out to see how close X is getting to Y is wrong.
"It's a lot like smoking. You can't get people to give up unless you recognise that sometimes it's pleasurable."
I love this bottom line by Mary Beard. Of course, people are not going to give it up since to the dismay of the moralists it is all too often too pleasurable. And yes, Beard appropriately uses the concept of "police state". Once we understand that all too many universities are heading in the direction of sexual police states, more persons will oppose these policies. What Beard fails to mention is that these policies cannot be effective to any degree without secret informants, third party informants of the genre of Linda Tripp.

An excellent article – I'm writing a piece for my MSc through Bristol Uni on this very subject, as a tutor who has engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a (mature) student. It's interesting to note how the whole thing was initially dealt with – I was the subject of disciplinary action and deemed to be wholly to blame, yet my student consort, who is 9 years older than me, was made out to be the victim of 'abuse of power'. The fact that I'm a tutor in Counselling and she was on a Degree in Addictions COunselling course might have something to do with the intolerance from the hierarchy, yet my view is that we were 2 mature adults who both agreed to what we were doing yet just because of my role it was forbidden.
What's your view on this?

Step 1:
Set up an account on tropo. I'm assuming if you're reading this tutorial you have the computer savvy to set up an account on a website so I won't waste your time with that.
Step 2: Writing the Script
Now that you have your account all ready to use, log in and go to 'Your Hosted Files' and click 'Create New File.' (Note: It may be [much] easier to write out these files in your favorite Python writing program than to enter them directly onto tropo) Name the file what you want to and move down to the area named 'File Text'. First step is import the modules we need. After which we'll create a dictionary that we'll use later to convert the abbreviated days of the week to full names of the week and then a function that will do that work. Enter this. . .
import re import urllib2 from xml.dom import minidom, Node day_of_week_dic = { "Mon": "Monday", "Tue": "Tuesday", "Wed": "Wednesday", "Thu": "Thursday", "Fri": "Friday", "Sat": "Saturday", "Sun ": "Sunday ", "mph":"Milesperhour " } def replace_words(text, word_dic): rc = re.compile('|'.join(map(re.escape, word_dic))) def translate(match): return word_dic[match.group(0)] return rc.sub(translate, text)
This is pretty self explanatory. The function has a built in function which substitutes and returns the value that we want in the dictionary. Now we'll move on to my favorite part, which is scraping the web page.
def weather(): result = ask("Enter or say your five digit zip code",{"choices":"[5 DIGITS]", "timeout":30, "attempts":3, "onBadChoice": lambda event : say("I'm sorry, I didn't understand that.")}) urlRead = urllib2.urlopen('http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss/%s_f.xml'%result.value) xml = minidom.parse(urlRead) if xml: for channelNode in xml.documentElement.childNodes: if channelNode.nodeName == 'channel': for itemNode in channelNode.childNodes: if itemNode.nodeName == 'item': for yWeatherNode in itemNode.childNodes: if yWeatherNode.nodeName == 'yweather:forecast': day = replace_words(yWeatherNode.getAttribute('day'), day_of_week_dic) low = yWeatherNode.getAttribute('low') high = yWeatherNode.getAttribute('high') condition = yWeatherNode.getAttribute('text') say("For "+day+", there is a low of "+low+" degrees and a high of "+high+" degrees. The condition is "+condition+".") weather() hangup()
This may be confusing at first glance but I assure you it isn't hard to understand. The first part that may look unfamiliar is the 'ask' command. That command is a built-in tropo command. The first option is the question that we're going to ask, the next three are pretty self-explanatory. Next, what we're doing is taking the xml document (urlRead), looking for a node called 'channel', then a node called 'item', then a node called 'yweather:forecast'. When we get to yweather:forecast we grab the day, low, high, and condition from it then use tropo's 'say' command to have our program output whatever we want it to.
At the bottom we call weather and then tell our phone to hangup once weather is done executing.
Step 3: Getting the phone number and testing it!
After entering all that, please don't forget to click save file or update file at the bottom of the text box you entered the code in! Ok, now that you have it saved, click on 'Your Applications'. Click 'Create New Application', name your app whatever you'd like to and click 'Hosted File' link and then click the 'Map existing file to this application' link. From there just select map next to the script we created in the last step. After that, click 'Create Application'.
Now you can use the numbers given or add your own and call up the number. If all goes as planned, it should work (I had to wait about 5 minutes for mine to become ready).

Israel's representative was "conspicuously missing" at the beginning of the UN Human Rights Council's special session Monday set to discuss the situation in the Palestinian territories and the 2014 Gaza conflict, AFP reported.
"I note the representative of Israel is not present," said council president Joachim Ruecher.
Although Israel did not provide an immediate answer as to its delegate's absence at a session overwhelmingly focused on Israeli policies and alleged abuses, a source close to the council told AFP that it "clearly amounted to a boycott."
The US representative was also absent from Monday's discussion.
Monday's session had originally been scheduled to discuss the formation of a probe on last summer's 50-day war in Gaza, but investigators were forced to delay after the head of the team quit under Israeli pressure.
Canadian international law expert Wiliam Schabas resigned as chair of the Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza conflict in February after Israel complained he could not be impartial because he had prepared a legal opinion for the PLO back in October 2012.
Schabas strongly denied being impartial or beholden to the PLO, but decided to reluctantly step down to avoid compromising the inquiry's efforts in any way.
Israel, however, was not satisfied with Schabas' resignation, and called for the entire inquiry to be shelved, arguing the commission and the Human Rights Council that created it are inherently biased against it.
Monday is not the first time Israel has boycotted the council. In March 2012, it cut all ties with the body over its plans to probe how settlements were harming Palestinian rights. Relations did no resume between the two until late 2013.
The US absence at Monday's session sparked speculation as to whether it was an attempt to avoid sticking up for Israel, as it usually does, amid cooling ties between the two.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party won an unexpected election victory last week in Israel, and Washington has warned that it could withdraw its unwavering support for Israel at the UN due to Netanyahu's bigoted remarks and tough stance regarding Palestinians in the run up to the elections.
Others, however, saw the absence of the US and most western nations on Monday as a "deliberate attempt to undermine the credibility of the Human Rights Council," Pakistan's representative told AFP, speaking on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Although the commissions report on its investigation into the 2014 Gaza war has been delayed until June, the UN's new Special Rapporteur on the situation in the Palestinian territories was far from reserved in his comments.
"The ferocity of destruction and high proportion of civilian lives lost in Gaza cast serious doubts over Israel's adherence to international humanitarian law principles of proportionality, distinction and precautions in attack," Marakim Wibisono told the council.
Wibisono touched on the "acute" need in Gaza, and warned that Israel's continued "blockade keeps Gaza in a stranglehold which does not even allow people to help themselves."
Last summers aggression in Gaza ended in a truce between Israel and Hamas on August 26 after the death of more than 2,140 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and 73 Israelis, all but six of which were soldiers.

So I find that I can be a bit of a smartass sometimes. Maybe that's a bit harsh to myself, but basically I use sarcasm to, what I feel, is great advantage. Here's a couple examples of the kinds of comments I would make (not answers, mind you, because they aren't answers.)
To a question about Javascript, I might say
No matter how many errors you take out, it still won't work right in IE.
In a question about how to do something complicated in SQL, and someone says this is probably too strong for SQL to handle, I might say to his answer
If SQL isn't getting it done, you're not using enough of it.
One of these I've actually said - someone flagged it and had it removed. Now, I feel that a comment is not intended to be an answer. And, these comments (can) prompt the user to consider the experience of others. For example, who has worked in Javascript and not got frustrated that IE just isn't working for them when the rest do? And, how many times has someone said "this can't be done in SQL" only to find out not only can it do it, it does it very well.
Maybe the humor is a little crude. Maybe it's not entirely on topic. I'm okay with that.
My question is, how far is too far? Is it really hurting anything? What happened to "bring your sense of humor"?

Recipe File: Chocolate Cake
Article Digest:
Making a beautiful cake is an art, and, like any art, it takes a great deal of innate talent and lots of practice to create. However, regardless of artistic inclination, everyone should be able to learn how to produce a great tasting cake by following the right recipe. This recipe for chocolate cake has a strong, but not overwhelming, chocolate taste that will put a smile on any chocolate lover.
The chocolate used in this cake is fairly important. Dutch processed chocolate has a different alkalinity than unprocessed chocolate and cacao powder, so these ingredients cannot be easily interchanged in this recipe. Use a high quality eating chocolate (such as
) and pure cacao powder.
Assemble the ingredients for the batter: 8 oz. (225 g) unsalted butter (softened), 1-1/4 cups (295 g) drinking water, 3/4 cup (105 g) all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup (85 g) cake flour, 1-1/2 cup (300 g) dark brown sugar, 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup (20 g) pure cacao powder, 2 oz. (55 g) 70% cacao dark chocolate, 1-1/4 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 tsp. table salt, and 1/2 cup (225 g) sour cream.
We'll also need two 9-in. round cake pans (or 3 8-in. round cake pans for a taller three-layer cake) and two sheets of parchment paper. Place a cake pan over each sheet of parchment paper. Using a pencil, trace a circle around the base of the cake pan.
Fold the parchment paper in half so that the circle forms a half circle. Then fold in half again to form a 90° arc. Cut along this curve to form circles of parchment paper.
The paper should fit perfectly into the bottoms of each cake pan. Using this folding and cutting technique is a bit simpler than attempting to neatly cut and entire circle.
Grease the bottom and sides of each cake pan with the wrappers from the unsalted butter. (You can do this step now or after you cream the butter - whatever is convenient.)
Line the bottom of each pan with the circles of parchment paper.
Start by sifting the two flours, baking soda, and salt together. I like to sift them onto a sheet of wax or parchment paper because the paper can then be picked up and the contents poured out in an easy to control manner.
Break up the chocolate into 1/2-inch (1 to 1.5 cm) squares and combine with the cacao powder.
Bring the water to a boil and measure out 1-1/4 cup. Pour over the chocolate and whisk gently until the chocolate has completely dissolved. Using water heightens the chocolate flavor of the mixture. (Try tasting chocolate melted in warm milk and compare it to the taste of chocolate melted in water. The milk based hot chocolate will feel thicker and richer, but the water based hot chocolate will have a surprisingly strong chcolate flavor.)
Once the flour has been sifted and the chocolate melted into boiling water, cream the unsalted butter with a standing mixer equipped with a flat beater. Add the dark brown sugar and mix until butter and sugar are evenly mixed. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula.
One at a time, add the eggs and beat on medium-high until fully incorporated.
Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract. Scrape the bowl down.
On low speed, mix in a third of the flour mixture followed by half of the chocolate liquid. Repeat with another third of the flour and the rest of the chocolate. Finally, mix in the last third of the flour. Stop the mixer once the batter has just combined.
Pour the batter into each cake pan as evenly as possible. (For my readers who love to be as precise as possible, the fastest way to split the batter evenly is to tare the weight of a cake pan on a digital scale and alternate pouring between two pans while massing them in turn. In about thirty seconds, you can evenly split the batter with as little as 1% error.)
Bake both cake pans in a 350°F (175°C) oven on a rack set to the center position for 25 minutes or until a toothpick or wood skewer thrust into the center of the cake and withdrawn is clean or only has dry crumbs attached. Remove both pans from the oven and allow them to site on a wire rack for five minutes.
Run a knife along the circumference of each round to release the cake from the pan. Invert the pan over a wire rack. The cake should gently release and rest on the rack.
Immediately remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake. Waiting until teh cake begins to cool may result in some of the cake surface sticking to the paper and lifting off as you remove the paper.
Allow the cake rounds to cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare a batch of heavy frosting such as a
to frost the cake.
Once the cake layers have fully cooled, apply a little frosting to the middle of a cake cardboard, plate, or whatever surface you plan on constructing your cake. In these pictures, I built my cake directly onto a cake keeper.
Place one of the cake layers onto the dollop of frosting. The frosting acts as mortar - keeping the cake from moving while we work with it. I like to place the layer topside down. This is because the bottom of the cake layer will be facing up and the next layer of cake will be placed bottom side down. Since I use two identical cake pans, the dimensions of the bottoms of the cakes will always match. If the cake layers are not relatively flat, you can use a long serrated knife (like a bread knife) to cut any excess cake that might form a dome. Perform any cutting on the topside (the side resting on the wire rack).
Place a sizable quantity of frosting onto the top of the cake layer (exact quantity will vary, but make sure you use less than half of your total frosting).
Using an icing spatula or offset spatula, spread the frosting so it forms a flat layer. I find this easiest by holding the spatula so the edge is held at a 45° angle to the surface of the cake and the frosting is pushed out from the middle of the cake. I keep pushing the frosting out and rotating the platform that the cake is sitting on.
Lay the second layer of cake onto the leveled frosting. Be sure to match the face of the cakes (bottom down if the first cake layer was placed top down) so the diameters will match.
Apply frosting evenly to the sides of the cake. Use the rest of the frosting to cover the top of the cake. At this point you can practice the art of cake decoration - of which I am not well practiced.
Despite the amateur appearance of the cake, the flavor of this cake can only be described as really chocolatey without any bitterness. The texture is halfway between crumbly and moist - dense but not heavy.

Post subject: Brown Sugar
Brown sugar is typically "packed" when baking, meaning you smash the sugar into the measuring cup and then add the "packed" sugar to the other ingredients. I noticed in the picture that the sugar was loose, which would result in using less sugar. Just curious as to what led you not to pack the sugar in this case. Thank-you!

Brown sugar should always be packed when measuring by volume. (Just take a dry measuring cup and fill it with brown sugar, then push down on it with the back of a spoon to squeeze as much air out as possible and keep adding brown sugar in this manner until the surface is level with the dry measuring cup.) Alternatively, you can simply measure by mass. 1 cup packed brown sugar is 200 g.
When using dry ingredients, I typically use an
electronic scale
unless the volume of the ingredient is a tablespoon or less. This left the sugar loose (as shown in the picture). It also seems to integrate faster into the butter when loose than when packed, but after those few additional seconds it takes for the stand mixer to break the packed sugar apart does not make a difference to the recipe.

Wouldnt this run the risk of seize when adding the water, or does that only happen to prepared chocolate?

Don't worry about seizing. We're melting chocolate into the water (where water is the dominant ingredient). There is so much water in this recipe that the chocolate components (cocoa, sugar, fat) will be suspended in the boiled water.
Seizing is an issue when moisture is introduced to chocolate that we're melting that we want to keep as solid chocolate later. It occurs because chocolate very dry (almost no water content) and the cocoa and sugar particles will have a strong affinity for any water that is introduced. When melting chocolate (for chocolate and confection making), if a tiny amount of water is introduced, entire portions of the chocolate will solidify as the cocoa and sugar mass clumps together (out of the fat). Seized chocolate can no longer be used for chocolate making, but can still be used for baking applications such as this cake.

The first mention of the round cake pans in the article is a link to amazon.com where they can be purchased for about $4 each.
The wavy pattern was achieved using a fork.

I find it interesting that a mixture of cake and all-purpose flour is used instead of just cake flour. Do you think that the cake benefits from the extra gluten?

I felt that with cake flour only, the texture was not as good (for a chocolate cake) as with the mix. All all-purpose flour felt a bit too heavy/dense for me.

Post subject: chocolate cake
I made this cake yesterday and we were very pleased with it. It is a very dark, moist cake. I guess the moistness is due in part to the dark brown sugar, the sour cream and the butter. I love dark brown sugar and use it instead of the light brown in any recipe that calls for brown sugar. It seems to give the baked good a better quality flavor.
Back to the cake, instead of using your buttercream frosting, I used my favorite frosting for chocolate cakes. Now, I almost always make a sheet cake because it's just easier to make and to transport. I leave it in the pan too and this frosting is rather liquid at first and everyone likes that it oozes down the edges and into the corners of the cake. So, here's the recipe:
1/2 c butter
5 T of dark cocoa....use the Dutch Processed dark kind and use sort of heaping tablespoons instead of leveled ones
6 T buttermilk
1 T vanilla...use the Mexican kind...La Vencedora...it is the best
about 1 pound of powdered sugar
1/2 c chopped pecans
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the cocoa and the buttermilk. When melted, remove from the heat and add the vanilla and then start mixing in the powdered sugar. I used a little more than half of a 32 ounce bag last night. You want it to be oozy and liquidy as it will set up once it is refrigerated. When the sugar is mixed in well, add the pecans and pour it over your cake. Great stuff.
My chocoholic family loved it on top of this dark, dark cake

When making a chocolate cake, I often substitute coffee when water is called for. I LOVE the combination of coffee and chocolate, and find the chocolate flavor is enhanced. The substitution I use is 1:1, with great results. Have you tried this substitution in your recipe?
Love your web site and recipes, Michael! Keep up the great work!

It is wonderful that Barack Obama in His Own Words has supported this opportunity for Muslims to show that they also care about tolerance, freedom, democracy, understanding, and peace. All good Muslims must speak out about these things more, because, as Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". Devout Christians fear the sickeningly immoral atheists, and respect the prophet Mohammed as a seeker of goodness and truth, but the devout Christians do not truly join the devout Muslims to oppose the sickeningly immoral atheists because they believe that evil has triumphed amongst the followers of the Mohammed, The Prophet of Islam. I believe this is why so many good people have made the mistake of opposing Cordoba House: All over the world, every month, there is Muslim political violence and terrorism, there are no Muslim democracies, there are many vicious Muslim dictatorships, and too many good Muslims are too silent. Even Muslim charities are often used to provide money for terrorism, and too many good Muslims are silent about this. Cordoba House is close to where the Aftermath: World Trade Center Archive was, so everyone will watch it closely so there will be no opportunity for evil. In fact, Cordoba House will be more wonderful BECAUSE it is close to where the World Trade Center was. Cordoba House provides a focus point for good Muslims to speak through and oppose evil. This support for the Cordoba House is one of the only things that President Obama has done that I REALLY like.
The Arab World: Society, Culture, and State,, freedom diminishes for the sake of security. We became paranoid of everything, in a much exaggerated manner. My evidence for that is the story of this mosque that is to be built in America's money capital. Although the US "was bitten" or even "was burnt" on its own land by the fire of extremism when it witnessed an attack on its security and freedom by Islamic extremists, and despite of the fact that it is the first country that was directly targeted by religious extremism and that it is working to face it, but it has overcome its fears by allowing Muslims to build a mosque. Even so, Muslims who would meet in that mosque might not be far from extremism as much as the site of the mosque is not far from Ground Zero; the place of the wound in which the US witnessed the deaths of 3000 of its people.

Hop on and let's take a ride across the south-east of Europe. What is so fascinating about this colourful entity called the "Balkans"? History is told on old Roman and Ottoman roads, in young urban centres like Tirana, in the mountaineous countryside of Montenegro. With stories written by life - and based on the results of sound scientific research by the European Stability Initiative (ESI).
This twelve-part documentary series is one of the most ambitious TV projects on South Eastern Europe produced in recent years. It gives people who have contributed to the region's progress since the mid-1990s the opportunity to comment on their present situation: artists, lawyers, journalists, activists, mayors and football players tell their version of the story. With powerful images, these ten 52-minute episodes provide a new perspective on the present and possible future of the region. And this website, put together by ESI, offers the background information.
Interview about Return to Europe: A journey of discovery
"These are documentaries all citizens of the European Union should have the opportunity to see"
Giuliano Amato, former prime minister of Italy
"A compelling documentary series about the Balkans and Turkey, capturing the essence of a fast-changing region central to Europe's future"
Olli Rehn, European Commissioner for Enlargement (November 2008)

Home > Be Healthy > Health Library > Scabies
Scabies is an itchy skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow into the outer layers of the skin. The scabies mites are spread through close contact with an infested person, such as by touching or by sleeping in the same bed.
Severe itching that is usually worse at night and a rash with tiny blisters or sores in a line or curved track are the most common symptoms. These symptoms usually occur between the fingers, in the creases of the elbows or in the armpits, around the waistline, on the genitals, and around the anus. In children, signs of scabies may also appear on the neck, face, scalp, the palms of the hands, or the soles of the feet.
Scabies can be spread during the entire time a person is infested, even before symptoms, such as itching and skin sores, appear. Symptoms appear 4 to 6 weeks after a person has been infested for the first time. If a person becomes reinfested, the symptoms are noticed within a few days.
Scabies will not go away on its own. Medicine that a doctor prescribes, as a cream, lotion, or pills, is needed to cure scabies. Delaying treatment increases the risk that the mites will spread to other people. Bedding, towels, and clothes that have been in contact with the infested person need to be washed.

Frank Lampard Confirms This Key Player Will Miss Arsenal Clash
West London giants Chelsea have been handed an injury blow ahead of their Premier League clash with top four rivals Arsenal following the news that young right-back Reece James won't be fit for the game billed for the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The game is a Matchday 20 clash in the Premier League and also the start of the second half of this season after the halfway stage was reached in the last round of games.
Reece James has been a revelation for Chelsea this season with a series of eye-catching performances at right-back following his return to the club this summer from a loan spell at English Championship club Wigan Athletic last season.
- Man Utd's Midfield Would Improve If Solskjaer Signs These players In January
- The Three Players Mikel Arteta Will Sign In January Revealed
- Arsenal Defender Culpable In North London Derby Draw

Transfer Ratings: Jesse Lingard To Arsenal
Jesse Lingard was delighted to take the break from football on account of the Coronavirus. He was going through his worst season after breaking into the first team at Old Trafford. The forced time off is a perfect opportunity to reflect on his performances and start a clean slate when football returns.
The United Academy graduate Lingard performed badly earlier this season until the Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was filmed hurling insults at him during a Carabao Cup clash in January.
Solskjaer blew off at Lingard during the Carabao Cup semifinal second leg clash with Manchester City after the player repeatedly lost possession to the opponents. Lingard played around an hour of the game, and Manchester United won 1-0 which was insufficient to take them to the finals, having lost the first leg at home (1-3).

Jesse Lingard changed his agent to renowned Italian SuperAgent, Mino Raiola, increasing the rumours of a possible transfer from Old Trafford. The outburst from his manager further heightened those transfer reports. His long-term future at the Theatre of Dreams is far from certain despite the break from football as he continues to be linked with other clubs.
In the past weeks, Lingard has been the subject of transfer interests with clubs like Italian Serie A giants AC Milan, and the Premier League duo of Arsenal and Leicester City.
The rumours have intensified in the past few days due to the close relationship between his agent Mino Raiola and Arsenal chief executive Raul Sanllehi. A lot of Arsenal fans will argue that Jesse Lingard is the last attacker the club needs right now with several players in that position at the moment.
Transfer Ratings for Jesse Lingard to Arsenal: 2/10
EPL: Best Replacements For Outgoing Aubameyang At Arsenal
Arsenal fans worldwide are anxious over the long-term future of skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the club as he has 12 months to run on his Gunners contract at the moment. Their fears over the future of the Gabonese international was not helped by the son of club owner Stan Kroenke.
According to Josh Kroenke, Arsenal are planning to sell some of their big names this summer and that the club will benefit from the sale of these players on the long run. Josh Kroenke has further cast doubts over the future of Aubameyang who's attracting serious interest from other clubs.
Apart from being the club skipper, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also one of the top performers in the team on a weekly basis and it would be difficult to sign an efficient replacement for him.
Aubameyang won the Premier League Golden Boot last season alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, both from Liverpool after the three players scored 22 goals at the end of the 38-game season. In total, the Arsenal captain scored 31 goals in all competitions.

- EPL: Manchester United Target 'Ready To Sign New Long-term Everton Deal'
In the current season, Aubameyang has maintained his status as the go-to man for goals at Arsenal after netting 20 goals in all competitions before the season ended prematurely because of Coronavirus. 17 of those 20 goals came in the Premier League.
Arsenal are already searching for a replacement in the event that Aubameyang leaves the North London outfit this summer. Here are the best options available:
1. Edinson Cavani – PSG hitman Edinson Cavani would be a free agent in the coming weeks and he could be a cheaper alternative for Arsenal in the quest to replace Aubameyang. Arsenal will have to pay a lot of money in weekly wages to make the transfer possible.
2. Jonathan David – Canadian international Jonathan David has been scouted by Arsenal on several occasions this season. He has scored 23 goals for Belgian club Gent this season.
3. Odsonne Edouard – French attacker Odsonne Edouard is another option for Arsenal in their quest to find a replacement for the aforementioned Aubameyang. Edouard has been in red-hot form for Celtic this season and he has proven that he has the required quality to make the step up to the Premier League.
Will Aubameyang Still Be An Arsenal Player Next Season
Just like what Manchester United have to face with midfielder Paul Pogba this summer, Arsenal will also be confronted with the future of club skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in North London.
Aubameyang has been a wonderful servant for Arsenal in his three years and there's little or no doubt about that as the focus is on the Gunners to retain his services for the long haul. The Gabonese international has one year left on his Arsenal contract and that makes the Gunners susceptible to losing his services with other big European teams like Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid all rumoured to be interested in him.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is able to lay claim to the title of the most productive Arsenal player over the last two seasons based on his performances and only shot-stopper Bernd Leno comes close. The Gabonese striker scored 31 goals for the Gunners last season in all competitions.

- De Gea To Retain Starting Spot At Man Utd
22 of those 31 goals came in the Premier League and that was enough to earn him the joint Golden Boot Award alongside the Liverpool duo of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. He has already scored 17 league goals before the season was called off temporarily due to Coronavirus and only Leicester City star Jamie Vardy has scored more (19 goals).
One of the preferences for manager Mikel Arteta and Arsenal this summer is to retain the services of Aubameyang but that is dependent on the ability of the club to convince the player that his personal targets and aspirations can be met.
Gabonese international Aubameyang wants to win trophies as he enters the last lap of his football career but Arsenal do not look like a club that can meet that target at the moment. Arsenal won't be facing the problem of hanging on to his services as they have to find a suitable replacement for him if he decides to leave the club.
EPL: Will £72m Pepe Live Up To World Class Expectation At Arsenal
Arsenal fans were over the moon last summer following the capture of Ivorian international winger Nicholas Pepe but it is safe that the optimism from last year has been dampened after the player's first year in English football.
The Gunners Faithfuls have not rejoiced over a transfer like they did with Pepe last summer since Arsenal signed German World Cup winner Mesut Ozil in the summer of 2014. Arsenal broke their transfer record six years ago to sign Ozil from Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid.
The Gunners paid £42.5m for the playmaker who's still a strong member of the starting XI under the guidance of manager Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal also had to break their transfer record to sign Nicholas Pepe from Lille in French Ligue 1 after the Ivorian international had a sensational 2018/19 season but he was not able to transform that form into the Premier League this season. Pepe was arguably the best player in France during the 2018/19 campaign as he fired Lille into the Champions League via a second-placed finish.
- EPL: Charlie Nicholas Predicts Newcastle vs Man Utd, Arsenal vs Bournemouth
- EPL: Defender In Talks With Chelsea Over Summer Transfer
- Probable Arsenal XI vs Standard Liege
His Lille form led to the interest in his services from a lot of big clubs on the European continent and that convinced Arsenal to fork out £72m for the 24-year-old winger. Other big European sides like Napoli, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and many more were also keen on his signature.
Nicholas Pepe was expected to set English football on fire especially by his fans at Arsenal but the left-footed player has only shown his brilliance in a handful of games though club officials are certain that the first season is for him to acclamatise to the style of play in the Premier League. The Arsenal officials led by Mikel Arteta are hopeful that Nicholas Pepe will live up to his world class price tag in the coming seasons starting from the next season especially if the current season is not completed because of the dreaded Coronavirus.
Before the current season was suspended because of Coronavirus, Pepe scored four goals and provided six assists in 24 league games in addition to two goals in 6 Europa League outings.
Why Liverpool will not be crowned champions if EPL is cancelled
Liverpool are topping the English Premier League table and are expected to be crowned champions, but there is been a new twist as UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin said Liverpool will not be the English Premier League champions if the coronavirus pandemic forces the season to end prematirely.
All the English football fixtures are currently on suspension until April 4, because of the coronavirus outbreak that originated in Wuhan China.
Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the EPL table, but are not sure to be crowned Champions this season – they last won the league 30 years ago.
Aleksander Čeferin has now puts through is argument on whether Liverpool should be awardedthe trophy, if the epl fixtures are not completed.
"I've seen and heard some again fake news that UEFA will advise leagues to finish the championships now and decide that the winners are the ones who are number one now.
"I can say that it's not true. Our goal is to finish the leagues and we didn't recommend anything like that to any association or league," Ceferin said according to Daily Mail.
Arsenal Handed Major Injury Blow In Champions League Chase
Premier League giants Arsenal have been rocked by the news that combative midfielder Lucas Torreira might have played his last game for the club this season after the serious ankle injury sustained by him last week.
Lucas Torreira was stretchered off last week Monday during the FA Cup fifth round tie at English League One club Portsmouth. The Uruguayan international suffered an ankle injury in the first half of that game and that injury has ended his season after the medical update from Arsenal earlier on Monday.
The player has been ruled out for up to eight to ten weeks as a result of the serious ankle injury sustained during that Portsmouth game at Fratton Park last week Monday.
Without Lucas Torreira, Arsenal were able to secure a place in the quarterfinals of the competition via the 2-0 win over Portsmouth courtesy the goals from Sokratis Papasthathopoulos and Eddie Nketiah.

Arsenal will now travel to face Sheffield United in the quarterfinals of the competition. The winner of that last-eight tie will qualify for the semifinals.
Lucas Torreira will miss the remaining league games for Arsenal this season starting from the trip to face outgoing champions Manchester City on Wednesday night as the Gunners fight for a spot in the Champions League next season.
Arsenal have ten games to play in the Premier League this term as they try to make up the points on the leading pack for Champions League football.
Fourth and fifth spots would be enough for Champions League football next season. Arsenal is eight points off Chelsea in fourth position and five points off Manchester United in fifth spot having played one less game than both Chelsea and Manchester United.
Arsenal will play that outstanding game later this week in what's a tough game at Premier League champions Manchester City.
EPL: Four players Arsenal Could Get To Replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
A lot of Arsenal fans are anxious about the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the club as the Gabonese international attacker will enter into the final 12 months of his Gunners contract this summer.
Arsenal will have to make a decision on the player this summer especially if he does not renew his contract at the club. The Gunners will have to sell him with one year left on his deal or let him run his contract down.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has previously stated that his focus is on Arsenal despite the numerous transfer rumours linking the Gunners skipper with a move away from the club. Manchester United, Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and Barcelona have all been mentioned as his next destination if he leaves Arsenal this summer.
The latest reports claimed that the player is holding out for a weekly salary of £300,000 and that senior club officials are not ready to meet that financial demand from the Gabonese international player.

- EPL: De Gea 'May Be Sacrificed In Summer' For This Reason
- Manchester United Hall Of Fame: Ryan Giggs
Here are four potentials replacements for Aubameyang if he leaves Arsenal this summer:
1. Jonathan David – Gent striker Jonathan David has been in very good form for Belgian top flight side Gent this season and he has scored 18 goals in 26 games for the club. The Canadian international joined the Belgians from Ottawa internationals in his native country. He has an impressive 11 goals in 12 appearances for his country. Jonathan David has been watched by Arsenal scouts and he could be available for just £17.5m which would be affordable for the Gunners. The biggest risk could be the playing making the big step up from the Belgian league to the Premier League.
2. Wilfred Zaha – The Crystal Palace winger is also a possible replacement for Aubameyang since the Gabonese international spends most of his playing time for Arsenal on the wings, but Zaha doesn't have his cutting edge in front of goal. Zaha has three goals and three assists in the league this season in comparison to Aubameyang who has 17 goals and three assists.
3. Moussa Dembele – The Lyon striker has 16 league goals this season. He has adequate experience in English football having played for the likes of Fulham and Celtic.
4. Thomas Lemar – The Atletico Madrid winger is a long-term target for Arsenal dating back from his time in France with AS Monaco.
EPL: Arsenal Urged To Sign Man Utd Transfer Target As Lacazette Replacement
Premier League giants Arsenal have been urged to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez this summer.
The Gunners were advised by footballer turned pundit Craig Burley who's a regular on ESPN.
According to him, Arsenal should sign Raul Jimenez as a possible replacement for either Alexandre Lacazette or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Lacazette and Aubameyang have one year and two years left on their respective Arsenal contract. There are doubts over the availability of the two Arsenal strikers ahead of next season.
Several Arsenal fans want the club to sell Alexandre Lacazette to raise some cash to bolster the playing squad, while the same fans want the Gunners to do everything possible to retain the services of Gabonese international Aubameyang.

- Major Attacking Targets For Man United This Summer
French international striker Lacazette has not been in the best of forms in front of goal this season and that has affected the Gunners a great deal. He has not scored an away goal in the Premier League for the better part of the last one year.
In stark contrast, Aubameyang has scored on a consistent basis. He is the leading goalscorer in the Premier League with 17 goals alongside Leicester City star Jamie Vardy.
Craig Burley believes that Mexican international attacker Raul Jimenez has the quality to thrive at a big club like Arsenal. He is the main striker at Wolverhampton Wanderers who are in the mix for Champions League football via the Premier League.
Wolves are in sixth position on the league table and three points off Chelsea in fourth place. They have the same point as Manchester United in fifth place.
Manchester United target Jimenez is in his first full season at Wolves following his £30m permanent transfer last year after a successful loan spell at the club from Benfica in Portugal.
He has scored 13 league goals in 28 games plus nine strikes in 12 Europa League matches.

Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken Breasts. Boneless skinless chicken breasts quickly baked in an intensely flavoured honey, garlic and Dijon mustard glaze.
This version of garlic chicken breasts came about when I was thinking about the popularity of our Double Crunch Honey Garlic Chicken. That recipe has seen about 4 MILLION hits on Rock Recipes over the past couple of years.
People really like the intensity of flavour in that recipe, which I think is why it has been so successful.
I like to debone my own chicken breasts so that I can roast the bones and skins for stock later. They are then freeze them until I have enough to cover a baking sheet then use the instructions in my post on making Chicken Stock here.
I was thinking of creating another high intensity flavour recipe but without a crunchy coating. I'd seen a photo on my Facebook timeline of a simple brown sugar glazed glazed garlic chicken breasts recipe.
I first mistook the garlic in the glaze for whole grain Dijon mustard.
Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken Breasts, the inspiration.
It was that mistaken ingredient that made me think, "Honey Dijon Chicken is delicious. Honey Garlic Chicken is delicious…why not combine the two?" That's exactly what I did and it was outstanding.
The chicken breasts are baked at high heat so they were actually perfectly cooked in about 30 minutes in my oven for 5 to 6 ounce breasts. That makes this recipe easy to achieve, even as a weekday dinner.
I like to preheat the pan as I am preparing the glaze which also helps speed things up once the chicken hits the oven. I know this is a recipe we will make many times. I'll bet when you taste it, you'll say the same.
And if you want to try our amazing Double Crunch Honey Garlic Chicken I mentioned at the beginning click here or on the photo below. It has been our most successful recipe of the past 12 years!

Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken Breasts
Boneless skinless chicken Breasts quickly baked in an intensely flavoured honey, garlic and Dijon mustard glaze.
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
- 3 tbsp butter
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- pinch salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Use a baking pan that is large enough to have a half inch of space around each chicken breast but no more. Using too large a baking dish can cause the glaze to be too shallow in the pan and burn easily. Place the empty pan in a 425 degree oven to heat up while you prepare the glaze.
To prepare the glaze
- Melt the butter in a small saute pan. Add the garlic and cook for only 30-60 seconds to soften it. Do not brown the garlic.
- Add the honey, Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to blend and simmer over medium heat for one or two minutes begin to reduce the glaze.
- Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Remove the hot pan from the oven and place the chicken breasts an equal distance apart in the pan. Pour the hot glaze evenly over the chicken.
- Return the pan to the 425 degree F oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and baste the breasts with the glaze in the bottom of the pan. return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until a neat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part of the breast reads 170 degrees F.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Nuts, a basically pornographic magazine has seen its circulation fall by 22.5%. Zoo has fallen by 32.1% and FHM by 19.2%.
Good riddance. You're going down fast and I couldn't be happier. I'm sick and tired of seeing these "things" on the shelves of our newsagents. I can feel the anger rising up every time I see magazines like this for sale. I particularly feel it when I walk into a shop with my daughters. How dare they inflict this on my girls. How dare they send out a message that all women are objects of lust. And how dare they demean me or seek to corrupt me by blasting images into my brain that I don't want there.
I'll be brutally honest. I'm praying that Bauer Media (owner of Zoo, a particularly pathetic title) and IPC Media go bust. Okay, it will cost people their jobs but I'm a man at war. Enough is enough. Its all gone too far and as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to devote a significant amount of energy into trying to cause as much hassle for the publishers as possible. Let me tell you porn peddlers, theres power in "them grass roots" and a lot of us blokes "ain't happy".
By the way, you girls can join in too. Below this rant is a list of all the titles published by IPC media. Don't just moan about it, lets fight it. If we are serious about the sexualisation of society and truly sick of it all, then lets all stop buying the magazines listed.
In addition theres a campaign taking place to make 'modesty wraps" a legal requirement. That means we wont have to put up with the assault on our vision every time we walk into the newsagents. At least it will help until they go out of business. Mike Beecham's the man behind the campaign and you can sign the petition here;http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/25536
Oh, and a quick message to the cooperative chain of stores. Show some courtesy and reply to the emails about the campaign.

Paleo diet is high in fat – especially saturated fat – and low in carbohydrates, with a moderate amount of protein.
Paleo principles may include dairy products and even certain grains like white rice and buckwheat, depending on individual tolerance. Still others have suggested that a high carb, lower fat diet – provided the carbs come from starchy vegetables and not grains – may be optimal.
Stop trying to define the "Paleo diet" and start thinking about it instead as a "Paleo template".
What's the difference? A Paleo diet implies a particular approach with clearly defined parameters that all people should follow. There's little room for individual variation or experimentation.
A Paleo template implies a more flexible and individualized approach. A template contains a basic format or set of general guidelines that can then be customized based on the unique needs and experience of each person.
But here's the key difference between a Paleo diet and a Paleo template: following a diet doesn't encourage the participant to think, experiment or consider his or her specific circumstances, while following a template does.
Guidelines that constitute the Paleo template:
- Don't eat toxins: avoid industrial seed oils, improperly prepared cereal grains and legumes and excess sugar (especially fructose
- Nourish your body: emphasize saturated and monounsaturated fat while reducing intake of polyunsaturated fat, favor glucose/starch over fructose, and favor ruminant animal protein and seafood over poultry
- Eat real food: eat grass-fed, organic meat and wild fish, and local, organic produce when possible. Avoid processed, refined and packaged food.

About the collection
Cornell's Rāgamālā collection consists of some 4000 photographs Klaus Ebeling took between 1967 and 1972 as he visited museums and private collections all over the world working on Ragamala painting. Fifty years later the slides were gifted to Cornell, thanks to musicologist Joep Bor. The Ebeling collection is among the world's great assemblages of images in this genre. There have been numerous subsequent studies of regional traditions of rāgamālā painting -- Ebeling's collection includes them all.
