"George Hurt You" shirts are in the store!!!
I am sort of obsessed with the VH1 Classic show Metal Evolution. It chronicles the origins of metal from the earliest Celto-Scandinavian troll worshiping proto-Druids to today's loud and angry angry-loud dudes, and ties it all together with lineage charts, moon phases, farmer's almanacs, bundles of sage and armor piercing cod-pieces. As Eli says above, it IS a rich and storied history.
Last week's episode regarding the proliferation of European "Power Metal" was particularly fascinating. Power Metal is a sub-genre that involves fast soloing with classical influences, powerful high vocals, and lyrical content about dragons, destiny, glory, battle, brothers and sisters rising, challenges, more destiny, a boat, more dragons, a bigger boat, ice, THE MOUNTAIN, overcoming, an enchanted lute, a regular lyre, a sorceress's betrayal, the last unicorn, a dwarf, crystals, and valor. Another thing worth mentioning about Power Metal is nearly all of the songs sound like they COULD be glorifying white supremacy. They aren't. But they sound like they COULD be. I strongly recommend Metal Evolution for all fans of music and the endless permutations of musical genres.

I've always found the relationship between Tolkien (and to an extent, the content of D&D) and heavy metal to be fascinating. It's really goes to show how nerdy even the most rocking of musicians can be.
yeah I was a tad irked when i found their song's weren't in something like THOR.

Queensrÿche's legendary metal opera "Operation: Mindcrime" is, in fact, an accurate retelling of lead singer Geoff Tate's childhood, right down to the murders and insanity, his age and name were changed to avoid further criminal charges. #truemetalfacts
Every single Megadeth song is based on something that happened to singer Dave Mustaine, including his visit to Area 51, his brief stint as a nuclear missile, his own suicide (he got better) and the time that he became a sleepwalking serial killer. #truemetalfacts
Mötley Crüe once held an orgy on stage during a concert, and continued to perform while participating, they were the only males. #truemetalfacts

Bullet For My Valentine came from under Ronnie James Dio's bed. The pure awesome that he sweat every night, ran down thru the bed, filtering out any contaminants, then one day, t1000 dripped a single drop onto that, and a cloud of nuclear dust blew thru the air vent, combining much like that of TMNT. 7000 crumpets and 10 years later, they all got their first instruments, carved from the devils old horn sheddings

What would happen if you cooked and then ate a Jamaroquai CD? YOU WOULD DIE.

It turns out that Metallica CDs were extensively used in the construction of Soviet spacecraft, as they are sufficiently durable to withstand atmospheric reentry.
Most of the above is a complete lie.

Seriously, read the story of Mayhem. I can't do better than that. Or perhaps the Norwegian church burnings.
Those are true #truemetalfacts. And true metal.
I tried to play along, but the real true stories are still more entertaining.
links to some of 'em, please?
Here's the wiki on Mayhem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayhem_(band)
Re: church burnings, find the book "Lords of Chaos"
A band doesn't have to play black metal to be a "real metal band," don't forget who inspired those guys, classic metal acts like Motörhead, but yes, those stories are quite metal. With regards to actually true metal facts, I should think the death of Dimebag Darrell should also land pretty high, dude was tragically assassinated on stage by a schizophrenic.
You're right, black metal is not required to be actual metal.
I accept the Iron Maidens and the Metallicas and love the Ronnie James Dios.
I reject the Panteras and the Mastodons and Valentines and Dreamings and Burieds and Avengeds.

Today, I will work the phrase "Celto-Scandinavian troll worshiping proto-Druids" into each conversation I have!
Metal started with Helter Skelter by the Beatles and was turned into a genre by Zep. Here endith the history lesson #BritainInventedRock
Hate to break it to you Greg but Jimi Hendrix has some work predating the White Album that sounds an awful lot like metal, the release of the single "Purple Haze" for example, predates the release of the White Album by over a year. #AmericaFuckYeah
The States hated Jimi tho which is why he came to the UK… #OneOfUs 🙂
What all 3 of the aforementioned actually invented/honed was Progressive Rock, bits and pieces of which led to hard rock and heavy metal, along with bits and pieces of classical and baroque music and punk.
I'm not choosing sides between Britain and the US for who invented metal. But I think we can all agree Scandinavia is where it thrived.

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure is based on the true life activities of Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Max Lilja, and Antero Manninen who founded Apocalyptica by traveling through time to study under Vivaldi to learn to play cello, spending time in the court of Murad II Caliph of the Ottoman Empire absorbing their culture and folk songs, and secretly studying the members of Metallica throughout their lives [including their future works],..successfully combining Classical Cello, speed metal, alternative metal, post-grunge, hard rock, progressive metal[citation needed], thrash metal and symphonic metal with Middle eastern themes and folk music. And yes George Carlin was the actual Rufus for them. #truemetalfacts

Somewhere in Sweden there is a temperature controlled lead lined room almost a mile beneath the surface,…inside are vats made from the discarded guitar picks of Jimi Hendrix, the busted drums of Buddy Rich [whose drum style Jim Henson based Animal on], and various busted instruments from people such as Jerry Lee Lewis and Pete Townshend,… inside the vats are the accumulated ejaculations of every "Rocker" since late 1950s,… also inside are the preserved eggs of Brigette Neilson, Rasputina, Janis Joplin, and Siobhan Fahey. This vault is the TRUE Doomsday Vault ensuring that rock and Metal shall continue well after mankind has destroyed this world. #truemetalfacts
It's true, metal's history is rich, deep, and sordid :). I'll have to check Metal Evolution out as I'm a bit of a music history geek.
Dude, your air-guitar is BITCH'IN! You have GOT to make a wall-paper (sans text) outta that.
Way late to be commenting, but I've been catching up and no one seems to've mentioned Blind Guardian here. And Then There Was Silence is maybe one of the best Power Metal songs of all time.


Carrefour's Jean Yves Genies, packs customer's belongings during the opening of the retailers Thika Road Mall store.
Living in the digital era where more and more people are turning to online shopping, you would expect physical stores to be struggling for survival, but in fact, this is not the case. The National Retail Federation reported that physical retail shops had a net increase of over 4 000 store openings in 2017.
Customers can inspect the items that they want to buy, something that is just not possible online.
Customers can negotiate prices when they are inside a store, this can't be done online.
There are no shipping costs involved when customers purchase products from a physical store.
Customers don't have to worry about their personal information being leaked because physical stores don't require all their personal information and credit card or banking details when making a purchase.
It is a lot easier to return items to a physical store.
A very popular trend at the moment is 'Research online, purchase offline' (ROPO). Customers have the ability to research products online and to find the best possible prices, but then they purchase the item from a physical store instead of online.
This way they get the best deals but don't have to wait for the product to be delivered and don't have to pay delivery fees.
While having an e-commerce site is very important, being able to drive foot traffic to your physical store has become just as important.
Google AdWords has developed new innovations to help with this.
If most of your sales are still made in your physical store, then it's very important to include the physical address of the store in your ads. Google AdWords allows you to do this with a location ad extension which displays your store's address within the ad.
Customers are a lot more at ease and a lot more trusting when buying from a business that feels 'real'. Just visit Google 'My Business' homepage to enable this feature. Google has even made location extensions and stores visit measurement available on YouTube.
Google AdWords has also made it possible for you to increase local foot traffic by implementing promotions in your online advertising campaigns. The promotion ad extension allows you to display your store's current promotions within the ad.
Using promotion extensions in your ads can drive awareness to your promotions. Creating more awareness of your in-store promotions will help you drive more traffic to your store.
Google AdWords also gives you the option to choose what device you'd prefer your ads to show on. Running these promotions will also increase your quality score.
Another great way to drive foot traffic to your physical store is by offering instant communication with potential customers. A click-to-message extension is another link that Google AdWords offers that you can incorporate in your ads that connect customers to your business by text message.
Customers can easily book an appointment by clicking on the link which will take them to their messaging app so that they can text for an appointment.
Showing your ads at relevant times (such as during trading hours) can be a lot more meaningful for customers.
By using the Google AdWords feature of ad scheduling, you can set which days of the week and time you want to run your ads on.
Geo-targeting is an effective way of identifying your ideal customer's location depending on their IP, WiFi or GPS data.
This feature also allows you to record consumer behaviors based on their location. With geo-targeting, you will have the option to run different promotional campaigns within a specific area.
Another attractive feature offered by Google AdWords is Local inventory ads which allow you to synchronize your inventory in real-time, so shoppers know if you have that item they're looking for in stock.
Being able to offer customers the best of both worlds – both online and offline – has become so important for businesses. Businesses can no longer afford to only focus their attention on one or the other because it is very likely that they will be missing out on sales if they do.
Google AdWords has developed all these new features to help businesses drive more foot traffic through more effective digital advertising. Find out how to navigate yourself around AdWords by completing a Digital Marketing Course.

Q: ios8 web view open external links in safari except one I have a UIWebview that loads some pages from my server.
I wanted to open external links in Safari and used this code:
-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType {

if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
    return NO;
}

return YES;
}

Worked perfectly.
Now from my pages showed in the web view I want to let user make a payment with paypal.
The paypal page opens in the web view but then when the user tap the button to login with his paypal account the link is opened in Safari and he receives a warning from paypal about session expired (of course).
Before adding the code above paypal pages were shown correctly in the web view, the user could complete the payment and then he was redirected to my pages to store the transaction in my database.
So, how can I open all external links in Safari except paypal pages?
Thank you!

A: You should be able to get the URL string from the NSURLRequest, then filter based on that:
-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType {
    NSString *pageToVisit = inRequest.URL.absoluteString;

    if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked && [pageToVisit rangeOfString:@"paypal.com"].location == NSNotFound ) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
        return NO;
    }

    return YES;
}

I'm not familiar with PayPal's URL structure, so I'm just naively assuming that a URL that contains "paypal.com" is a PayPal link that you want to open in your web view. Tune as necessary.

I'm fixing up a Schwinn Varsity and i am having troubles with the seat. I can only get the seat clamp (the one that holds the seat to the post) so tight, but not tight enough. As the bike is being ridden , the seat tends to still tilt, though it takes some force to do it.
The bike has the original seatpost, which from research on here, is the 13/16" diameter, and it tapers smaller at the top. The seat clamp is designed for two rails on each side. I do have a two rail seat on the bike.
I would like to replace the seat with something more comfortable. First, will the seat clamp work on a single rail, "regular" style seat, or do i have to get a different clamp? Assuming that's the way to go, is there a suitable replacement seatpost that will work in the Varsity frame? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something that will work. What is the closest, modern size that may be available through an LBS or Nashbar that would work?
An idea i had, would be to simply flip the seatpost over, inserting the tapered end into the frame and using the larger diameter with a different seat clamp. How much of the non-tapered seatpost should remain in the frame for this to work? Would this idea even work, and if not, why?
My apologies on the long post. I know there is much ridicule of the Varisty, being old, non-standard and very, very heavy. Please bear with me, i understand they are not highly valued, I would just like to keep it riding. Thanks everyone in advance for your help.
No modern seatpost work in the old Schwinn Electro Forged frames. I've had trouble with the double clamps not holding as well. They will spin on some posts but not on others. I find that the heavier chrome models hold better.
I've made two custom posts for EF frames. The first is for my Collegiate and it has the double rail clamp. It's a piece of gas pipe from ACE sanded down to fit in the frame while the top holds a larger double rail clamp for a Brooks B-72.
The second is for a Continental. I shortened a BMX post and used epoxy to secure it to the top of a Schwinn seat post. I needed further set back.
Both look OK and get the job done. Best of luck.
The layback BMX post is just great. Good idea, and looks super smooth!
My '67 Varsity seat would also tilt (only with substantial force applied) even when everything appeared tight.
o The seat-clamp needed a shim at the top of the post - the clamp was being overtightened, misaligning the clamp's adjustment surfaces for seat-tilt and minimizing contact of the radial grooves, allowing the surfaces to slip. This seat-post clamp is the irreplaceable item to preserve if you want to continue using the alum post with the taper top. Given the fact that I also needed a shim at the frame end of my post, I have a feeling it's a hair narrower than it ought to be.
o The seat-angle adjustment surfaces had a mismatched number of radial grooves (!). Apparently, someone had replaced the "outer" twin-rail clamp h/ware and didn't notice that it had a coarse pattern of grooves and the post clamp had a fine pattern.
The above two conditions complement each other perfectly, since the ever-tighter seat adj'ment nut simply misaligns the two inner adjustment surfaces to a greater degree, providing less friction by reducing the contact area with the two outer surfaces... *and* the adjustment can't ever really "lock" in *any* position, since the inner and outer surfaces can't mate. Nice, huh?
If you have absolutely no consideration for weight - and let's be honest, given our chosen steed, we are certainly both suspect - the WALD 955 ..heavy thick steel.. seat post has the 20.5+/-mm frame requirement stepped up to 22+/-mm at the top, with a stay-collar, to fit modern/std/not-impossible-to-come-by seats/clamps. I bought one, just to have as insurance, at a decent LBS in SF (Valencia Cyclery) for $10, I think. This may match what someone mentioned was being sold on eBay in a similar post elsewhere. I don't know at all about "single rail" seats.
Of course, I rarely go the easy route. I ended up shimming the seat post so the clamp was quite tight and had its two adjustment surfaces eyeball parallel. Mine took two small pieces of thin steel shim stock.
"Fixing" the adjustment surfaces was an experiment. I used a tri-edge-rat-tail file to get the original radial grooves in the seat post clamp as aggressive/sharp as I could. Because of the mismatch in pattern, the angled contact, and years of slipping, some sections of the two surfaces were wearing smooth. Fortunately, the seat clamp seemed to be made of the better quality metal, so most of the wear was at the seat-rail-clamp surface.
With new/salvaged seat-rail-clamp h/ware, I made two aluminum washers from "can" stock that fit between the two adj'ment surfaces. I installed the seat and tightened it up. I rode it for a bit and it seemed solid. Upon disassembly, the washers were perforated by the radial grooves, but the punctures were evenly spread around the radius, so things were parallel enough when compressed tightly. The aluminum "spread" into the gaps at each adjustment surface to effectively "lock" them.
I re-made the two washers from .032" alum shim stock (Ace h/ware). By tightening the bolts securely, the radial grooves "bite" into the alum, which is thick enough not to perforate, but soft enough to receive the groove pattern and provide enough friction to prevent slip - so far, anyway. If I had to do it again, I'd go for a slightly thinner guage stock, judging by deformation (ie: I want to see a little more groove pattern squeezed into the alum).
Have I been brave enough to actually attempt to adjust my seat angle? Fortunately, I got the angle right when I put it all together - one possible advantage of owning a bike for most of your life. In case I did need to adjust it, I later put a small amount of the "flowable" silicon in the narrow edge between the rail-clamp face and the washer, to glue the washer onto the outer surface. If I ever(!) loosen the seat clamp nuts, the seat should be able to "step" through an angle adjustment, defined by the pattern created on the inner-washer-face by the seat-post clamp's radial grooves. That's the theory, anyway.
Good luck - if any of the above is unclear, ask away.
Thank you everyone for the replies. It's taken me much longer to post back than normal, and i haven't gotten a chance to work on the bike recently. I'll definitely look into getting a Wald 955 post. Weight is definitely not a high concern, i just want the bike to be a good neighborhood ride and be mostly reliable and worry free. I'm looking into getting new brake pads, tires and cables.
Again, thanks for all the helpful information. Pastor Bob, beautiful bikes as always. Pohlf, thank you for the seat clamp idea, it sounds very well engineered.

I've been very fortunate to have tackled quite a few complex implant cases. For me, the hardest of these is the patient missing the lower anterior incisors. This situation presents some unique challenges.
Combination Defect. Those who have lost their lower anterior teeth typically have periodontal disease. So they have both hard tissue (bone loss) and the accompanying tissue defect.
Aesthetics. Anytime you have to replace pink the difficulty goes up. Where to put the papillae? How to match the pink? How not to make the teeth look too long?
Implant Positioning. These areas have minimum bone width, limited prosethetic spacing, and often have divergent roots of the neighboring canines.
Here's an example of a such a case and how we handled it. It's not perfect, but overall I am pleased with the result.
Jerry has been a long time patient. He lost his lower front teeth due to perio disease.
Our first order of business was to do a 'crown down' prosthetic approach to implant planning. I did a virtual waxup using CEREC and merged it with his CBCT.
From this I was able to determine that placement in site #23 and #26 (my preferred sites) was not possible due to root divergence of the canines. Instead we needed to place implants in site #24 and #25.
Luckily, in this case there was enough bone width to avoid the need for lateral bone grafting. Even more important, we were able to plan the implants parallel.
This would give us the ability to produce a screw retained restoration with engaging abutments.
The final result is a screw retained bridge that replaces both the 'pink' and the 'white'.
The final result is monolithic zirconia without any porcelain – just stain and glaze. Special thanks to Michael Keeter at Real Time Dental Lab for the lab work.
We make every effort to do nearly all our cases as screw retained restorations. Are you currenctly doing screw retained restorations? Why and why not? Please let us know in the comments section below.
Update 02/12/2016 – here is a picture of the provisional and the provisional in the mouth. As you can see i needed to adjust the provisionals in the mouth for working movements. This was then translated to the final restoration (above).
Beautiful case Tbone. A couple of questions. How did you do the final case…scan or impression? And how did you choose the color of the go vial tissue stain?
Paul the final was done with a traditional impression for this case. I have down many of these with total digital workflow.
The final shading and characterizations were determined through a provisional. Basically the provisional serves as a trial shade guide, especially for the tissue.
Thanks T. So what shading/characterizations did you use on the provisional? Where these the same shades (corresponding colors) that the lab has? Thx.
the lab made the provisional for me from photos of the shade tab of the tooth and the gingiva.
the provisional is a pretty good guess and then the photos of the provisional in the mouth helps communicate any changes necessary.
Paul… take a look above i added some photos – the provisional (made of milled PMMA) and it in the mouth.
Tarun, if you had implant angulation problems here and couldnt do a traditional screw retained finish would you use angled multi unit abutments to still allow for a screw retained bridge?
@jason… depends on how severe the angulation 'problems' were.

The construction of Ta Keo Temple (translated as Mountains of Golden Peaks) began in 975 but it's never finished due to an allegedly lighting strike, which was deemed as bad omen. It's dedicated to Shiva and possibly the first temple to be entirely built of the biggest blocks of sandstone by Khmers.
The five-level pyramid-like temple is located northwest of Ta Prohm Temple and reaches a total height of 40m, making it one of the tallest buildings in Angkor. The first two levels make up the platform of two enclosing courtyards, surrounded by a wall and gallery respectively. The last three levels are massive bases for the sanctuaries.
Ta Keo is barely decorated. Some state that the peculiar sandstone materials are difficult to carve, but the fine carvings around the base of the sanctuaries contradict that.Since the temple is practically undecorated in appearance, visitors who have the site in their Cambodia trip had better come here in the morning when the light is still mellow and soft. There's a gallery has no entrance, so it was assumedly constructed for appearance only. Yet the windows of it are beautiful to look at from the interior. You can also climb up to the pyramid and have a good view of the surrounding scenery.
With the following popular tour you'll have chance to seamlessly experience the most popular Asian destinations. The tour covers hot tourist attractions in Siem Reap: Angkor Wat, Bakheng Hill, Angkor Thom, Banteay Srei and traditional Apsara dinner show.

Santa Clara College was established in 1851–the first institute of higher learning in California–and began offering courses in commercial education shortly thereafter, in 1854. In 1923, William Pabst was named the dean of the new College of Commerce, which soon became the School of Business Administration in 1925.
The School of Business earned its AACSB accreditation in 1953, and in 1959, the MBA program was introduced.
Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, one of the most dynamic business environments in the world, the Santa Clara School of Business provides a wealth of employment opportunities in the thriving technology and business regions surrounding the campus. The business school building is located at the edge of campus along Franklin street – just off El Camino Real – with convenient access to the Santa Clara Caltrain Station.
The Leavey School of Business is located around 30 miles away from the San Francisco International Airport.
Lucas Hall, formally dedicated in 2008, is home to the Leavey School of Business. At approximately 86,000 square feet, the facility is two and a half times the size of the former home of the Business School, Kenna Hall. The three-story building contains 12 classrooms (two dedicated to executive education), 102 faculty offices, 16 team project rooms, six large executive-style conference rooms, and a 100-seat seminar room. The center core of the facility contains the Dukes Business Services Center and the Cadence CyberCafe.

Richard Cobden was one of the most important of the 19th century Liberal radicals. With John Bright he established the Anti-Corn Law League. The successful repeal of the Corn Laws was the principle reason for the downfall of Sir Robert Peel and his government. Richard Cobden was a ceaseless campaigner for free trade, peace and social reform - issues which he championed with high moral rectitude. Cobden was of huge influence on the British government's stance on the American Civil War. He has been called "the greatest classical Liberal thinker on international affairs" and was undoubtedly one of the great political free-thinkers of his generation.


My daughter, Tia, asked for Christmas stockings. Hmmm, not a trivial task. Luckily I only have to needlepoint the top part of the stocking with the names. She wants it finished in animal hide.
Big problem. I went to the fabric outlet store and looked at the furs and animal skins and immediately started sneezing. With watery eyes, coughing and a runny nose, I sent her a text: "Would fake fur be ok?" She replied, "Yes."
I moved over to the fake fur section and there were the four perfect furs!

The genetics behind drug resistant enteric fever
Enteric fever is a potentially life-threatening bacterial infection caused by i) Salmonella Typhi, which causes typhoid fever, and ii) Salmonella Paratyphi types A, B and C, which cause paratyphoid fever. It is commonly transmitted via contaminated water and food and is endemic in regions of southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. As an indication of the scale of this global public health threat, there were an estimated 14.3 million cases worldwide in 2017 and ~136,000 associated deaths.
Salmonella is no exception to the trend of increasingly observed antimicrobial resistant (AMR) pathogens. In the past 6 years, an extensively drug resistant (XDR) type of typhoid fever began to spread worldwide; in addition to physical suffering, this places an increased burden on healthcare services and is of great concern due to limited treatment options. Dr Gemma Langridge leads a team at the Quadram Institute (QI) who have been collaborating with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) formerly known as Public Health England the Child Health Research Foundation in Bangladesh, and the Allama Iqbal Medical College & Jinnah Hospital and Government College University in Pakistan, using genome sequencing and analysis to better understand and track cases of enteric fever, including both paratyphoid and typhoid variants, providing an evidence base for clinical management and targeted interventions.

Introducing Will and Sarah and the double bass
My name is Will Hansen. I am a double bassist, composer and educator. I've been teaching for SFLF since late 2018. It has been great to see the program develop over the last 4 years – pre-pandemic, in lockdown and onwards. The sensational Sarah is one of my up-and-coming double bass students. Sarah completed her Grade 1 AMEB double bass exam in late 2021, passing with honours. Sarah was the first SFLF student to complete an exam, and it was heart-warming to see her hard work (mainly over zoom!) rewarded with such an excellent result. She is currently preparing for her Grade 2 double bass exam and a Grade 1 theory exam.
Sarah has grown so much as a performer. From having some trouble playing the bass line for a part with only two notes in it, Sarah has now learnt to play all the way up to her octave and can play much more complex pieces.
After 4 years with Sarah I can see improvement in many areas beyond bass technique. Her reading comprehension and spelling have noticeably improved in her theory lessons, and her note-reading and synthesis of separate concepts and ideas have improved. Sarah's problem-solving when tackling a difficult passage or new concept is always getting better.
Sarah's enjoyment of playing bass is best expressed in her own words: "Having individual lessons gave me the opportunity to connect with Will on a personal level, helping give lessons a more fun vibe. Now that he has been my teacher for a long time, we share jokes and have a good connection as student and teacher".
Sarah's whole family are involved with the SFL program. Her parents, Simon and Lauren, are endlessly supportive and her two younger siblings, Sam and Emma (both cellists), always give it their best when playing in orchestra. Greater Sydney had better watch out for this dynamic trio!

James told ESPN who would interview him, when they could pop the question on his choice of teams, which sponsors would fill the hour long show, and perhaps more importantly, where the money paid for the sponsorships would go. Like it or not, and many journalists don't, this is just the beginning of high profile sources taking control of a news event. The bigger the story, the more control the newsmaker will have–and that means content control, revenue control and residual spinoffs. Whether you like the way it went down or not, take a look at the opportunity it presents and think about how you could leverage this kind of coup using your personal brand like LeBron did on a local, regional, national, or industry level.


Mix together all the veggies, then mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Add water a tablespoon at a time until the mix is moist. Hands work great for this — it's quite tactile! Form the mixture into small (~1″) balls (or larger ones if you prefer).
Fry: Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a pan and (once the oil is HOT!), flatten the rootke into it. Cook until crispy and browned on one side, then flip and do the same on the other.
Bake: Preheat oven to 375°. Coat a baking sheet (or foil-lined sheet) with olive oil and flatten the rootkes onto it. Spray (or drizzle if you don't have a sprayer) the top with more oil. Bake until browned and crispy, flipping halfway through if desired for better effect.


Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler said Chennai Super Kings' skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was "probably not right" in stepping on to the field to argue with the umpires during their IPL match here.
Dhoni lost his cool and rushed into the field of play to confront Indian umpire Ulhas Gandhe after he flip-flopped on a no ball on Thursday night, which led to a fine on the former Indian captain.
CSK went on to win the match by four wickets with Mitchell Santner smashing Ben Stokes into the stands off the final delivery.
"I was fielding at the boundary so I am not sure what had actually happened. I am not sure if that was the right thing to do," Buttler said at the post-match conference.
"Obviously, tensions are running high in the IPL and every run counts and it was probably a big moment in the game, but whether stepping onto the pitch is quite right - I'd say, probably not."
Rajasthan Royals suffered their fifth loss of the season, after being in a commanding position against the Chennai Super Kings, a situation they have regularly faced this season.
"It (the loss) is a tough one to take, getting in a position to win the game but not being able to get over the line. The boys will be very disappointed but that has been the story of our season so far," Buttler said.
Rajasthan have failed to seize opportunities and the wicket-keeper admitted that his side will have to learn the art of closing matches.
"We have had some games which we should have won but have not been able to do it for a few reasons. We have to play better and for longer."
"We got to a nice start tonight, I couldn't go further and capitalise on that and coming in in the middle overs in this ground is a particulary tricky period of the game to play, it's not easy wicket to come and start your innings on in the middle overs," said Buttler, who scored 23 off 10 balls.
After posting a modest target of 152, Rajasthan had the defending champions reeling at 24-4 before Dhoni and Amabati Rayudu stitched a 95-run crucial partnership.
"Our bowling innings started brilliantly we got them four wickets down very early but then we weren't able to break down the next partnership of Rayudu and Dhoni which was crucial in the game," Buttler said.
Despite good individual performances throughout the season, Rajasthan's bowling and batting unit have failed to perform in tandem.
"We are just not putting those performances together, we are playing well in stages against quality opposition and some of the best players in the world if you can't do it in the whole 40 overs, it's tough to win the game," Buttler said.
Rajasthan captain Ajinkiya Rahane said although he was happy with his team's bowling effort, the side has to find the correct balance.
"Credit to our bowlers, on that wicket I thought 150 was low. We should have batted better, on that wicket, 170 would have been very good. We feel disappointed."
"I'm sure guys will take it on and learn from these mistakes. We have got to find the balance right depending on the conditions. I still feel you need to win crunch situations in T20 format."
Man-of-the match Dhoni credited the Rajasthan bowlers and advised his side to learn from such hard-fought victories.
"It was a very good game. Need to give credit to Rajasthan. They were slightly few runs short on what would've been a good score. But they put pressure on our batsmen and they were able to build pressure right to the end."
"Once you win games like this, you learn a lot...It's important to enjoy the win but also learn from the mistakes.


The panel, which Mayor Catherine Pugh has said is unnecessary, would examine revelations from the recent trial of two city police officers who served on the corrupt Gun Trace Task Force.
Hogan told reporters Monday afternoon he had not read the bill or decided whether to sign it. But he said he is "all for taking another look at" city police corruption.
The Maryland House of Delegates on Monday unanimously approved the state Senate's proposal for the commission, sending it to Hogan for his signature or veto. Administration officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Members of the Gun Trace Task Force have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to racketeering and robbery after stealing large sums of money from residents. The case against the officers is among the worst corruption scandals in the police department's history.
But Sen. Bill Ferguson, a Democrat who represents South Baltimore, proposed the commission because he said the trial raised more questions that need answering about what supervisors may have known about the unit's actions.
The commission would spend 20 months investigating, with a preliminary report due at the end of the 2018 and a final report due at the end of 2019. It would have the power to compel testimony from witnesses and production of written and electronic records and other documents.
Here's a roundup of the unfinished business Monday as state lawmakers gather in Annapolis for the final day of the 2018 legislative session.
A deal to expand the number of medical marijuana licenses needs only formal ratification by a second chamber to go to the governor. The House on Saturday approved a compromise measure by a wide margin that would allow the state to issue 20 new licenses for growing or processing marijuana in a way that assures racial diversity among the firms that win them.
A bill to set up a commission to investigate allegations of corruption in the Baltimore Police Department that arose in the federal investigation of the agency's Gun Trace Task Force needs only formal ratification by a second chamber to go to the governor.


Your income from your Buy to lets?
Just a general question really, I was wondering how many buy to lets people on this forum own and what sort of income they achieve after all expenses are paid on them? Do some people even have enough to live on their income from their properties?
I appreciate some people are a bit funny about this type of thing, but it is just genuinely a question out of complete wonder, and it would be interesting to see the differences.
Re: Your income from your Buy to lets?
From my own experience and that of many of my colleagues and clients, I can say that you are unlikely to earn sufficient revenue from just one property or a small portfolio of properties.
Most mortgage lenders require your rental income to be at least 125% of your monthly mortgage repayments; in other words, an average BTL mortgage repayment accounts for 80% of your total monthly income. After costs for repairs and refurbishments, service fees, marketing, EPCs and gas safety certificates et al, only very highly performing properties (for instance, those for which the investor is able to consistently secure the best rates by remortgaging, or put down a large deposit) will turn over much of a profit.
Indeed, the profitability of a BTL investment is from a mix of capital appreciation and rental income. It is anticipated that a property will pay for itself, with any profits either spent, reinvested into the property or further properties, or other investments such as ISAs, for the duration of the mortgage, and after the mortgage is paid can be sold or let for further income.
I wrote an article last October: Buy to let running costs. It should help you calculate how profitable a property will be.
N.B. Many expenses incurred by landlords can be offset against rental income for the purposes of calculating income tax.
Some people get a mortgage to help build up a portfolio. They get tenants on a rolling long term contract which covers the mortgage and can give people a couple of hundred a month. Yes it does mean you don't get a 10% annual yield like you would if you owned the property out right but at least you have cash flow.
Actually more workers approaching retirement are considering a buy-to-let property to supplement their income.


These cotton hand towels are hand-loomed and support an artisan and his family in Ethiopia. Each towel is handmade and unique with a ribbing pattern in a cream color that works well in both the bathroom and the kitchen. These towels come in a set of two and get softer with each use. Whether you get them as a gift for others or as a treat for yourself, they are sure to please for years to come!
In Ethiopia, there are 13 months in their calendar year!
We couldn't find any hand towels that we liked; none were simple, elegant, and at a decent price point. So we decided to make our own. In doing so, we get to work with an amazing artisan that hand looms them in Ethiopia to support his family. We use 100% Organic Cotton and just the right size to fold or drape.
Place with any of our Turkish Towels in the master bath or guest bath of your home!
Machine wash as you normally would. Low tumble or air dry. Avoid using dryer sheets so towels remain extra absorbent.


In No Reservations master chef Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) lives her life like she runs the kitchen at upscale 22 Bleecker Restaurant in Manhattan-with a no-nonsense intensity that both captivates and intimidates everyone around her. Kate's perfectionist nature is put to the test when a brash new sous chef joins her staff, the high-spirited and freewheeling Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart). Nick's casual approach to both life and cuisine couldn't be more different than Kate's, yet the chemistry between them is undeniable..

Q: What Files Should I Set Up for Clean Apache Configuration I am not new to Apache but nor am I an expert (by any means). I've run sveral versions of WAMP and XAMP server set-ups. Most of my Apache configurations are simple. I usually run a default master configuration file (httpd.conf or apache.conf) and one or two includes (with a different port, for example) and some site-specific virtual host files.
Recently, I set up a server to use HTTPS. I bought certificate and set it up. It wasn't too bad, but it got me thinking. Each Apache configuration I set up seems to be a bit different. I don't apply any best practices; just bits and pieces built up from a default installation using only those changes to make my application run.
This is now bothering me. I run Apache 2.2 currently and I would like to adopt a convention for myself with which I can keep consistent, one that I could more easily deploy to more servers in a quicker fashion.
So my question is, what files should I use and how should they interact? For example, I think most people agree that loading up your main Apache configuration with tweaks is a bad idea. So should you strip it down to the bare minimum and implement multiple includes? How do you properly set up the sites-available directory (sites-enabled filled with symlinks)? Because there are many ways to do things and since Apache allows for directives to be used in multiple places with the same affect, I find that bits and pieces get spread out over all these files, including using something like mod_rewrite in an .htaccess file (which I'm starting to believe is a bad idea unless you are on shared hosting where that's the only way).
For SSL, do you set up a default-ssl file or project-ssl. How many virtual hosts do I run on one server?
I understand that my question is somewhat subjective. There is probably not an objective answer. But my my goal is to get as close to an objective answer as possible.
Then there is WSGI. If you deploy Django sites, this further complicates things. Should I use /home/user/project/project/wsgi.py or /var/www/project/index.wsgi? How do these files interact with the Apache configuration?
Here is a list of files that I'm concerned with:
/etc/apache2/apache.conf
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/etc/apache2/ports.conf
/etc/apache2/envvars (mostly self explanatory)
/etc/apache2/conf.d/project.conf
/etc/apache2/conf.d/security
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
/etc/apache2/sites-available/project
/etc/apache2/sites-available/project-ssl

Why do some Apache installations have an Apache main configuration with modules included and others have mods-available and mods-enabled?
Like I said above, there seems to be a lot of overlap so I'm not surprised that this is a tricky topic to master.
Alternatively, if anyone knows a good reference that steps through this, I'd be interested in seeing it. I have a couple older Apache books and they just don't break it down. They assume you are complete beginner and that you leave the default alone. The Apache docs are pretty good and I go to them often, but a comprehensive source for what I'm looking for doesn't seem to exist (or, I haven't found the best search terms to find it).

A: I like the following setup. It works well for me and my situation and for most of the work I've done. I don't currently use site-enabled / site-available. I also don't like using .htaccess files if possible.. My main goal is to keep all the configuration for a site as close as it can be to the rest of that sites config. That way if I set up another server the same way I can just pop in the vhost file and be done.
httpd.conf: I keep this neat, only loading modules and includes.
httpd-ssl.conf: I just add the stuff that has to be in there for any ssl to work.
AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl    .crl
SSLPassPhraseDialog  builtin
SSLSessionCache        "shmcb:/var/run/ssl_scache(512000)"
SSLSessionCacheTimeout  300
SSLMutex  "file:/var/run/ssl_mutex"

httpd-vhosts: I try to keep everything i need for each site totally contained within the VirtualHost tags.

A: The obvious reference would of course be the manual.

*

*Simply put: the name/location of the main apache configuration file is a compile time
option, typically a file called httpd.conf.

*The name/location of that default location for the configuration file can
be overriden by the -f commandline switch if you so desire.

*The configuration file contains 1 directive per line.

*The apache configuration file is parsed from top to bottom

*You can put all directives used to configure apache in that single
file.

*You may use the Include or IncludeOptional directives in the
main httpd.conf to include directives from other files.
The included file is parsed at the location of the Include directive and it is
parsed in order from top to bottom. At the end of the Include apache will return to
the main httpd.conf configuration and the next directive will be parsed.
In case the Include directive contains a wild card, the Included
files will be parsed in lexicographical order.
Both the single configuration file or nesting using includes allow you to reach the same end-state. Whatever works best for you.
Compare the single configuration file:
#httpd.conf
Directive 1
Directive 2
Directive 3
Directive 4

to a main http.conf
#httpd.conf
Directive 1
Include other.conf
Directive 4

and the included file:
#other.conf
Directive 2
Directive 3

Both result in exactly the same configuration, there is no "best" in that regard.
If you maintain a single configuration, by hand, then a single file may actually work best. You can easily read it from top to bottom and that makes it unlikely that you get surprised by the ordering of directives making your life difficult.
If you have a configuration management system that makes it easy to remove of deploy whole files, but has difficulties with changing parts of a configuration file, then using an Include dir/*.conf might make a whole lot more sense.
A single file, explicit Includes or wild card Includes it is mostly a question of personal preference and/or making the best use of your tooling.
The sites-available sites-enabled seems a Debian / Ubuntu convention.

The last section is the AllowOverride directive which allows locally overruling the settings made in the Apache configuration file(s) above by use of the .htaccess file. This provides flexibility as you don't need to restart apache for changes in configuration to take effect, but will generate extra overhead as for each web request all directories between the DocumentRoot and the requested file will need to be scanned for the presence of a potential .htaccess file.


A paternity test using blood or tissue taken from the child, the mother and the possible father is 90 to 99 percent effective. Ultimately, the test will rule out whether a particular man is the father of a child. In some cases, more than one man may be required to take a paternity test.
Blood tests have been used since the middle point of the 20th century. In 1970, a new test used antigens in white blood cells, or Human Leukocyte Antigens, to determine if a man was likely to be the father. However, a DNA test must typically be done in conjunction with a blood test to confirm who the father of a child may be.
DNA testing is considered to be solid evidence of paternity. The DNA of a child will be a combination of the mother's DNA and the father's DNA. If a child has two or more probes that are not a direct match of the father's probes, a particular man can be ruled out as the father. If a man is determined to be the father of a child through a DNA test, the result is considered to be 99.9 percent accurate.
If a man is considered to be the father of a child, he may be ordered to pay child support. However, he also may have a larger set of parental rights as the child's legal father. An attorney may be able to help a father get all of the rights that he may be entitled to under the law. Conversely, legal counsel may be able to help someone dispute the results of a paternity test if there are questions about the results.


Tanjore, also known as Thanjavur, was the ancient capital of the Cholas, Nayakas and later the Maratha rulers. It was during the Chola period when Thanjavur reached the zenith of glory and became a center of learning and culture. The Thanjavur palace is among many architectural marvels of the Tanjore city. The Thanjavur palace was partly built by the Nayaks and partly by the Marathas. The Tanjavur Palace is a massive structure with huge halls, wide corridors, observation towers and a shady courtyard. As you walk across, you can easily see many sections of the palace in ruins and also the restoration work that has been taken up to protect the monument.
The palace is home to a library, an art gallery and a museum. The Royal museum has a display of items from the past rulers. The royal memorabilia is a real eye catcher and fascinates one and all. The royal clothing, headgears and hunting weapons are some of such items that draw the attention of visitors. The two Durbar halls, where the rulers held public meetings, are in good shape. The Art Gallery is housed in the Nayak hall of the Thanjavur palace. This gallery has a superb collection of artifacts of the 8th and 9th century, belonging to the Chola dynasty. The bronze and granite statues displayed inside the art gallery speak volumes about the craftsmanship during those days. The bell tower, which has been restored, stands very different from the rest of the structure after renovation.
The Saraswathi Mahal Library stands next to the art gallery. This library has an amazing collection of manuscripts written on palm leaves and paper. There are over 44,000 palm leaf and paper manuscripts in Indian and European languages inside the Saraswathi Mahal library. Of all the manuscripts, over eighty percent are in Sanskrit. The Tamil work, at display in the library, includes treatises on medicine and commentaries on works belonging to the Sangam period.
The Tiruchirapalli airport, 58 km away from Thanjavur is the nearest airport.
Thanjavur is directly connected with towns and cities like Trichy, Madurai, Nagore and Madras by rail.
The excellent road network links Thanjavur with the major cities and towns in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.

Q: Whys isn't Firebase Data snapshot returning any values (Android)? I'm having trouble getting any values from my firebase database for android using the documentation that was given. I've tried connecting to the simplest structure possible but still no luck. Below is my code.
DatabaseReference usersReference;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
    usersReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("users");
...
}

protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();

        }

        @Override
        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError error) {

        }
    });
}

Here is what my database looks like in firebase

For some reason no matter what I try I get nothing. I tried printing the user reference to make sure I was going to the correct place, and although the link was the correct reference to the database when I clicked the link the I was met with this screen:

Not sure if that is relevant or not. Thank you

A: From the rest of the behavior you're describing it seems like your code is looking at a different database from what's shown in the screenshot. I recommend re-downloading the google-services.json for your project, and adding it to the project again.

A: When that happens, you better use the debugger to understand what's going on. Are you using Android Studio right?
Put a breakpoint on the following line:
String value = dataSnapshot.child("name").getValue(String.class);

And then, when the program execution stops here, click the "evaluate expression" button.
Inside that window you can experiment with dataSnapshot. I suggest you to try dataSnapshot.getChildren() there and see what does it show.

Congressional bill would expand access to housing vouchers for youth leaving foster system
Youth facing homelessness as they age out of the foster care system soon could have easier access to federal housing vouchers.
Congressional bill would expand access to housing vouchers for youth leaving foster system Youth facing homelessness as they age out of the foster care system soon could have easier access to federal housing vouchers. Check out this story on lancastereaglegazette.com: https://www.lancastereaglegazette.com/story/news/2019/12/07/congressional-bill-would-expand-access-housing-vouchers-youth-leaving-foster-system/4352568002/
By Rick Rouan, The Columbus Dispatch Published 10:25 p.m. ET Dec. 7, 2019 | Updated 10:25 p.m. ET Dec. 7, 2019
Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, is joining with Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, a Republican, to propose legislation they say would alter the Family Unification Program to help prevent homelessness for youth aging out of the foster care system.
The bill already passed the House last month with bipartisan support, including co-sponsors from Ohio's delegation: Reps. Joyce Beatty, a Democrat, and Steve Stivers and Mike Turner, both Republicans.
"We know that housing is everything. It's a foundation for opportunity. Without safe, clean affordable housing it's darn near impossible to hold down a job or pursue a degree or build a life for yourself," Brown said during a conference call with reporters Wednesday.
Under the current program, foster youth have to live in the jurisdiction of a public housing agency that already has been awarded vouchers under the Family Unification Program. But only about 300 out of the country's 4,000 public housing agencies receive the vouchers.
The legislation would allow any public housing agency to request a voucher from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a foster youth who is preparing to leave the system. Public housing agencies would be required to work with Public Child Welfare Agencies to identify eligible recipients as well.
It also would extend the vouchers, which are available for three years those leaving the foster care system, for up to two additional years if they are pursuing self-sufficiency programs, workforce training or a degree or post-secondary credential.
Families and individual youth already are eligible for the vouchers, which are used to lease private housing. Vouchers for families are not time limited.
Youth leaving the foster care system are eligible if they are homeless or at risk of homelessness and are between the ages of 18 and 24 years old. To be eligible, individuals must have left left foster care at age 16 or older or have plans to leave foster care within 90 days.
Congress appropriated $20 million for the vouchers in 2019, according to the Congressional Budget Office. But more funding likely would be needed in a future appropriations bill to account for the expanded eligibility.
"What we see now is that these young people if they don't have stable housing when they're aging out is that the trauma increases because they experience homeless time," said Amanda Leclerc, housing director at Huckleberry House. "There needs to be more available to them."
Brown said he and Grassley are trying to rally more bipartisan support to get the bill through the Senate and, ultimately, to President Donald Trump's desk. But that will require convincing Senate leadership and Trump to spend on the program, he said.
"This is one we're more hopeful about in the Senate because we have been very careful to get Republican cosponsors," he said.

Merry Christmas in July! Let's celebrate with some frozen pumpkin mousse pie.
Since Goose was born, I have even more of a soft spot for them. Hallmark Channel made the switch to all Christmas movies within a few weeks of Goose's birth. The first night of the switch, there was a Christmas movie on about a little girl who's parents died and wouldn't talk anymore because she was traumatized by her loss. Totally not the movie to watch if you are a new, very hormonal mommy. But I sat there, engrossed, with my sleeping newborn in my arms and watched it. I full on ugly cried the whole time.
My husband sat next to me and full on ugly laughed at me. The whole time.
For some reason, that is one of my favorite memories of the newborn days. My sleepy Goose, my silly husband laughing at my silly hormones. The holidays looming right around the corner and the excitement of baby's first Christmas. So last summer, it was fun to relive that during this week of Christmas programming and I love reliving it again now.
And what better way to celebrate this holiday nostalgia in the warm weather than with a frozen pumpkin treat?
Let me give you a disclaimer: I am one of those girls that is a full on pumpkin loving stereotype. I legitimately loose my mind over pumpkin everything while wearing yoga pants and Uggs. Yes, I am THAT girl.
Mostly I own it and find ways to get my pumpkin fix year round like with this frozen pumpkin mouse pie. This pie bursts with creamy and deliciously full of the cinnamon sweet pumpkin spice flavor I love. It's also easy and comes together in about 10 minutes including baking the crust. Light and airy, this frozen perfect for the warm summer days or if you are celebrating the holidays in a warm climate. Plus, it's skinny jeans and bikini season approved with no added sugar. Better yet, you can skip making the homemade crust (which is gluten free by the way!) and take a short cut with a store bought graham cracker crust the way I did with this peanut butter pie.
If you need me, I'll be on the couch watching a Hallmark Christmas flick, eating this pie.
At least until Goose wakes up.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is heating, add the ingredients for the crust to a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients come together and the texture resembles coarse wet sand. Press into a pie dish and bake for 5-6 minutes or until the crust is lightly brown. Let cool in the fridge while you mix your filling.
While the crust is cooling, stir together the pumpkin, seasonings, and honey. Fold in the whipped topping. Spoon the mix into the pie crust and freeze for a frozen treat or simply refrigerate for a more mousse like texture. Top with more whipped cream and enjoy!
YUMMY! Now I just want pie for breakfast!
Pie for breakfast is totally a legit choice. Especially this pie. It has a cereal crust. Cereal is a breakfast food. Done.
Pumpkin and mousse is a great combination. Will be making this great dessert soon.
I am so happy for this early Christmas present! Ha! I really want to try to make this one!
I love the idea of using the Chex in the pie crust, instead of cookie crumbs. I may just have to bake one of these easy pumpkin pies over the summer!
This looks amazing! I love pumpkin, and I totally agree that it's for all year long, not just the fall. So thank you for that! I can't wait to try this! I never thought about using chex mix cereal as a crust. Great idea!
All I can say is yes!!! One of the best parts of the holidays is pumpkin pie!!
this looks AMAZING!!! frozen pumpkin pie, how have I never heard of this before?! Oh my gosh. PS, Hallmark channel's christmas in july is giving me everything!
Oh my gosh! Me too! I wish I had more time to watch it all right now. Those movies are my guilty pleasure. Do you have a favorite?
i just recently found out that I LOVE pumpkin! Def need to try this pie!
I came to pumpkin late too! I hated it until about 5 years ago. Now it's give me ALL the pumpkin.
Oh yum! I love pumpkin year round and all things pumpkin. This sounds delicious.
Oh my, this does make me crave autumn!
Yum, this recipe looks wonderful! I love anything pumpkin. Thank you for sharing this delish recipe.
I never would have thought to use CHEX as the crust, I LOVE that idea!
I'm kind of obsessed with Chex. They make such good crusts!
YUM. I am totally that girl, too. 😉 This looks amazing!
It's good to be that girl!

Dr Rachel Bynoe
Dr Rachel Bynoe is a Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Southampton.
I am a Palaeolithic maritime archaeologist with a focus on submerged Pleistocene landscapes. I completed both my MA in Palaeolithic archaeology and human origins (2008) as well as my PhD (2014) at the University of Southampton. My doctoral research focused on the submerged Palaeolithic of the southern North Sea through the use of the vast historical collection of faunal remains. Subsequently I held several positions lecturing in Human Origins and Maritime archaeology, as well as working on commercial offshore projects, before moving on to a post-doctoral position at the Natural History Museum/British Museum. It was here that I began to develop my interest in the submerged landscapes and coastal archaeology of the Cromer Forest-bed Formation at and around Happisburgh, UK.
My current position at the University Of Southampton combines these experiences. My research continues to focus on the offshore archaeology at Happisburgh, with the Pathways to Ancient Britain research project, with a broader interest in the use of commercial data for furthering our understanding of submerged Pleistocene deposits. Recent fieldwork funding for diving investigations at Happisburgh has allowed me to bring these interests to current students, facilitating the incorporation of practical, diving, geophysical and palaeoenvironmental approaches to my teaching.
Understanding past human behaviour is reliant on an incredibly fragmentary terrestrial record, a record that is even further truncated by changes in sea level throughout the Pleistocene that have led to the submergence of large areas of once habitable land. With my interests focusing on a desire to understand the big questions behind how, why and when our earliest ancestors were migrating and occupying new and varied parts of the world, I am naturally fascinated in what these drowned landscapes can tell us about this picture. To do this I am interested in developing the ways in which we target and investigate submerged landscapes, from both a first-hand, diver-led perspective, as well as through remote sensing and retrieval of palaeoenvironmental information from seabed coring.
I am currently engaged in a project involving diving and geophysical data-collection off the coast of Happisburgh, UK, the earliest site of human occupation of northern Europe at just under a million years old. Importantly this project involves the use of publically collected remains from the beaches in this area, using the huge amounts of new information that this provides to target seabed locations. This project is currently working on the analysis of recently discovered Pleistocene exposures, with the aim of developing this work into a larger research project in the near future.

Denny grew up in England playing golf alongside the likes of Lee Westwood, Justin Rose, Luke Donald and Paul Casey. He played for the English National Team as an amateur and has played professionally in more than 50 countries in events on the European Tour, Challenge Tour, Web.com Tour, Asian Tour, Australasian Tour, Sunshine Tour, and South American Tour. Denny has been teaching golf since 2009, and after discovering Kelvin's material in 2013, realized Kelvin's approaches and teaching methodology were best suited to quickly improve golfers at all skill levels. Denny is enthusiastic to be joining the team.


From to time I will make an argument and then later realize that it really wasn't my own independently thought out argument, but rather a "reproduction" of something I once read. Often it would be Milton Friedman who has been my inspiration, however, Friedman is certainly not my only inspiration.
Another economist who undoubtedly have had quite a bit of an influence on my thinking is Bennett McCallum and guess what – it turns out that the argument that I was making in my latest post on the "Kuroda recovery" is very similar to the type of argument Bennett made in a number of papers around a decade ago about how to get Japan out of the deflationary trap. Bennett has kindly pointed this out to me. I know Bennett's work on Japan quite well, but when I was writing my post yesterday I didn't realize how close my thinking was to Bennett's arguments.
I therefore think it is appropriate to touch on some of Bennett's main conclusions and how they relate to the situation in Japan today.
I my previous post I argued that easing of monetary policy in Japan would primarily work through an increase in domestic demand – contrary to the general perception that monetary easing would primarily boost exports through a depreciation of the yen. Bennett told the exact same story a decade ago in his paper "Japanese Monetary Policy, 1991–2001" (and a number of other papers).
While I used general historical observations to make my argument Bennett in his 2003 paper uses a formal model. His model is a variation of an open economy DSGE model calibrated for the Japanese economy originally developed with Edward Nelson.
In his paper Bennett simulates a shock to inflation expectations – from -1% inflation to +1% inflation. Hence, this is not very different from the actual shock we are presently seeing in Japan. However, while the "Kuroda-shock" is a direct shock to the money base in Bennett's example the exchange rate is used as the policy instrument. However, this is not really important for the results in the model (as far as I can see at least…).
The variable on whose response we shall focus is the home country's— i.e., Japan's—net export balance in real terms….we see that the upward jump in the target inflation rate (π), which occurs in period 1, does indeed induce an exchange-rate depreciation rate that remains positive for over two years. Inflation, not surprisingly, rises and stays above its initial value for over two years, then oscillates and settles down at a new steady state rate of 0.005 (in relation to its starting value). Quite surprisingly, p responds more strongly than s so the real exchange rate appreciates. As expected, however, real output rises strongly for two years.
Most importantly, the real (Japanese) export balance is so affected by the two-year increase in real output that it turns negative and stays negative for almost two years.
Hence, Bennett's simulations shows the same result as i postulated in my previous post – that monetary easing even if it leads to a substantial weakening of the yen will primarily boost domestic demand. In fact it is likely that after a few quarters the boost to domestic demand will lead to higher import growth than export growth and hence the net impact on the Japanese trade balance is likely to be negative.
Said, in another way there is no beggar-thy-neighbor-effect. In fact is anything monetary easing in Japan is likely to boost exports to Japan rather than the opposite.
I am sure that Bennett's papers also in the future will inspire me to write blog posts on different topics as anybody who follow my blog knows it has done in the past – even when I don't realize myself to begin with. Until then I suggest to my readers that you take a look at Bennett's 2003 paper. It will teach you quite a bit about what is happening in Japan a decade after Bennett wrote the paper.
Both posts on Japan excellent.
Japan is the foremost example that tight money just does not work. Mild deflation is a debacle.
And, that after a 20-year experiment.
Fortget the dogmas, the ideologies, the politics, the putative morality of stable prices, the theomonetarism, the Paleomonetarism, and the sadomonetarism.
Print a lot of money for a long time, and get Japan going.
