Skanking Flu Pandemic Hits Cactus World!
You read about this sort of stuff on the Internet or see it on the TV, but you never think it will actually happen 'here'. But it does. The last week has seen a pandemic sweep across Cactus Word, one that had infected every single one of its inhabitants with a terrible illness that even now, Cactus World's best scientists and researchers have failed to identify, (because they've all been sick too silly). So for clarity, let's just called it Skanking Flue, as it's become known 'on the streets'. It has what can only be described as 'mild(ish), cold like symptoms', but does in fact feels 1,000 times more intense to those suffering its effects. And let me point out right here, right now, that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the common cold, seasonal flu, or Man Flu, or any of those things. The resemblance is entirely superficial. However, the good news is that I feel as if I'm starting on the long road to recovery, but it was touch and go there for a while.
It's strange how just one thing can virtually destroy a civilised society. Let me give an example. As a result of the pandemic there were huge food shortages in Cactus World. Supplies of rice, tofu, onions and garlic, along with most other foods, were entirely depleted within days; whilst the discovery of an almost full packet of pasta caused what I can only describe as a near riot in my kitchen, as I greedily grabbed it from the cupboard shelf, spilling much of its contents onto the floor, much to Penny's disgust. What can I say? Starvation drives people to this sort of behaviour and I was desperate. International travel was banned too and I was forced to work from home for two days, to save myself the gruelling, long-distance trek into the office.
Last week, just prior the arrival of the pandemic, I went to not one, not two, but three ska/punk/reggae gigs. (And I'd like to point out that going to these and the sudden and mysterious arrival of Skanking Flue in Cactus World are entirely unrelated.) The first saw the truly wonderful Skints supporting the rather excellent Bedouin Soundclash at the Camden Koko (capacity 1410); whilst the following day saw the rather excellent Bedouin Soundclash supporting the truly wonderful Skints at Nambucca on the Holloway Road (capacity a somewhat overstated 300; I doubt the room with the music in it can take any more than 100). The third gig saw the even more awesome Dirty Revolution (which released 2010's best album "Before the Fire" that you should go buy now) supporting the wondrous Slackers at the Islington Academy (capacity 800). Whatever your taste in music, it has to be said that bands like this are nearly always great live and thus worth going to see, even if you've never heard of them before. Comparing this sort of thing with the almost universally dreadful dirge that is modern indie rock and chart R&B, brings to mind a Borg Cube and a dead fruit fly.
In a not unrelated way, I have also been blessed by the availability on YouTube, of a brief shot of me attempting to dance at the recent King Blues gig at Koko. (It's all just a bit too much like trying to maneuver an oil tanker for my liking.) Despite every gig I go to now seemingly being filmed by someone, somewhere, I rarely manage to see myself, as despite a claimed height of 6 feet and 1 inch, I'm always surrounded by people who are even taller than me. (As an aside to this, for a few seconds I thought my luck had changed at this gig, when I felt someone grab my hand. Sadly it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity, as in the crowd she thought she'd got hold of her boyfriend's hand. Oh well, back to reality.) Anyway, YouTube. I was, I have to say, rather disappointed to see not the suave, sophisticated dance-floor guru that I imagine myself to be, (the guy "women want to be with and men want to be" kind of person); the sort of cool dude who can combine the best of White indie/punk moves with the cool of Caribbean reggae and ska rhythms, in an entirely convincing and respectful way. Instead I got to see a rather bald, fat bloke in a black t-shirt being flung across the most pit and trying not to fall over, in an entirely undignified and dad-dancing way by, a person or persons unknown. Go check it out around the 2:05 mark.
Finally, my telly has been fixed! Well done Samsung. It can't apparently make reliable TVs, but it's great at getting them fixed when they do break down; I guess it gets a lot of practice.
Right now I'm listening to "Lonely Man of Spandau" by the Angelic Upstarts.
The No Win Scenero
A nightmare has come upon me. The No Win Scenario is at hand. My very own Kobayashi Maru, but unlike Captain Kirk I don't think I'm going to get out of this one. Therapy? is playing three nights in a row in London in March, for a live CD, with a different set each night. Unfortunately, on the same three nights Random Hand are playing (on two of them) and the Automatic on the other; I already have tickets for these latter gigs as well. If this wasn't bad enough, I've also got gig clashes to deal with involving the Primitives vs King Blues, MC Lars vs the Stranglers and Stiff Little Fingers vs Power of Dreams. This totally sucks*. You don't have to like any of these bands (and with my taste in music why on earth would you)? However, I hope you can appreciate my pain.
*for those over 30 this means pisses me off.
Oh yes, happy 2010.
Right now I'm listening to "Live Young Die Fast" by Alkaline Trio.

Food from The Good Place (and, well, everything else from The Good Place) reads like a fever dream: giant shrimp terrorizing the neighborhood, fountains of clam chowder, frozen yogurt in every conceivable flavor. Today, we're seeing if we can make some of these bizarre concoctions palatable - and throwing in some jalapeño poppers for good measure.
Peeps and M&M's Chili (Champorado)
1 ½ cups rice (sticky, sushi or arborio)
2 ½ cups water
2 ½ cups evaporated milk
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
⅓ cup granulated sugar
4 ounces dark chocolate
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp espresso powder
Sweetened condensed milk
Peeps, chopped (optional)
M&M's (optional)
White Chocolate Shrimp
1 Egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
Shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetable oil
1 small shallot, minced
2 Tbsp white wine
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1-2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 cup butter, cut into chunks
4 ounces white chocolate
Jalapeno Poppers
Jalapenos, halved and hallowed
8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
1 Egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil
Peeps and M&M's Chili (Champorado)
Into a large pot add 1 ½ cups of rice along with 2 ½ cups of water, 2 ½ cups of evaporated milk, ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and ⅓ cup granulated sugar. Over medium heat bring that whole mixture to a boil and then turn the heat to medium low and simmer for 15-25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
When the rice is nearly done, add 4 ounces of dark chocolate and stir to combine until the chocolate is melted, then add 1 tsp each vanilla extract and espresso powder. Mix to combine.
Add to a bowl and top with some sweetened condensed milk. Optionally add some chopped peeps and M&M's, but you might be better off leaving those out. Enjoy!
White Chocolate Shrimp
Prepare your breading station by adding 1 egg mixed with 1 cup of milk in one bowl, 1 cup of flour in your second bowl, and 1 cup of breadcrumbs in your third bowl.
Coat the shrimp first in your flour, followed by the egg and milk mixture, and then into your breadcrumbs. Make sure they are fully coated and then set onto a plate.
Once all of your shrimp are coated, add vegetable oil to a pot and bring to 375°F. Add shrimp and cook each shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel.
For the butter sauce, add 1 small minced shallot to a pan along with 2 Tbsp white wine, 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar, and 1-2 Tbsp of heavy cream.
Cook over a medium heat until almost all the liquid has entirely reduced and then turn the heat down to a low heat. Add 1 cup of butter, a few chunks at a time. Once all the butter is added, remove from the heat but keep whisking to combine until a thick smooth sauce has been created.
For the white chocolate sauce, follow all the steps above but instead of 1 cup of butter, just add 4 ounces of butter along with 4 ounces of white chocolate. Mix to combine. If the sauce starts to break, just add a few Tbsp of heavy cream.
Serve with the fried shrimp and enjoy!
Jalapeno Poppers
Start by halving and hallowing your jalapenos. In a bowl combine 8 ounces of cream cheese with 8 ounces of shredded pepper jack. Mix to combine, and then scoop the mixture into each jalapeno half.
Prepare your breading station by adding 1 egg mixed with 1 cup of milk in one bowl, 1 cup of flour in your second bowl, and 1 cup of breadcrumbs in your third bowl.
Add your jalapenos and to the flour mixture and then place them on a wire rack and let sit for 10 minutes.
Next, add them to the egg and milk mixture followed by the bread crumb mixture and then let sit on a wire rack for 45 minutes. Repeat this so they are coated twice before.
Preheat a pot with vegetable oil to 375°F and add jalapenos. Cook for 2-3 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool.
Serve and enjoy!

12 Effective Home Remedies for Sinus Infection
Saturday, September 22, 2018 Edit
Hi I'm dr. Richard nan if you're looking for home remedies for a sinus infection or a natural treatment for a sinus infection I'm glad you found this video so think about it let's what is a
sinus infection 90% of the time a sinus infection is due to a virus it's basically a bad cold and it
gets in your sinuses it causes sinus pressure sinus congestion your nose is stuffy maybe it's
runny as well it can give you a headache and pressure and you're pretty much miserable it's
absolutely key to know that if it is a virus ninety percent of the time it is it's going to run its
course in seven to ten days you don't eat an antibiotic you don't need to go to your doctor and
one of the most effective things I know believe it or not is salt water I grew up in the Florida
Keys I I didn't know anybody that got sinus infections growing up as a kid we were always in
the water okay you go in the water you get out of the salt water your nose runs like crazy we
didn't get sinus congestion and if you don't get the congestion you can't get an infection make
sense so in India they even have a little pot called the neti pot where they put some warm
water and a little pinch of salt and they basically make their own saltwater and they run it
through their nose a very simple way to do this is if you get a little spray bottle any nasal
spray bottle empty one if you got one at home put in a little bit of water just a tiny little
pinch of salt you don't need much and go ahead and spray it you're going to see that's the best
decongestant you can get it's completely natural it'll cut through all the mucus and things are
going to drain the other thing that helps a tremendous amount is hydration and it takes a
couple days to hydrate it's not like you can go drink three or four cups of water right now and
you're hydrated but if your body is dehydrated and this mucus in your sinuses thickens up it's
going to have a very very tough time draining so the more hydrated you are the better the
saltwater nasal sprays work inhaling steam works so whether you go into a hot shower a hot
bath I've heard of people even getting some hot water so boy let's add steam and put a towel
over their head and put their head over the water don't burn your face please but just inhaling
Related: Home Remedies for Sore Throat. They Work as Better Substitutes
the steam can help as well if you need something over the counter to help two things are
very effective decongestants can help my favorite one is sudafed but sudafed is now behind the
pharmacy counter you have to sign for it's not a prescription but you have to sign for it
without signing for it there's other decongestants that are available over-the-counter and also
a medicine called white venison it's basically the active ingredient that's in robitussin and wife
enison can thin mucus to make it drain easier that's the medicine also that's in mucinex you
may recognize and buy those generic by the way don't spend the extra money to get brand
name there's two indications for antibiotics because that mucus is a great place to grow
bacteria and if you're not getting better in 10 days or if after day five instead of starting to do
better you are crashing and burning and you're going downhill that's an indication antibiotics
can be helpful and you need to see your doctor so he can choose the right one and get you
better but most of the time you will get better on your own so if you want to do some natural
remedies at home what you got I'm in your corner because I hate to see people go to a doctor
when you don't need to and you're paying co-payments and spend a lot of money and the stuff
that's going to run its course and go away anyway so really I hope that helps I hope the
information helps you out the whole reason I'm in medicine is is this is a very gratifying job
and you get to help people you get to make a difference in their life and really the enjoyment
of this practice is better than the finances because we make decent money let's let's admit
that but outside my medical profit office I have found another way to help people and this is
fantastic there's a way to help people save money and I've teamed up with some internet
experts and my partner's know how to we can make money by how when people save money
and make a lot as a matter of fact so this is not for everybody but if it is something that
you're interested in click the link below and it will take you to an opt-in page and in the article that will explain everything in less than hour you'll have a complete understanding of
what we're doing and whether or not this is for you other than that get some salt water get the decongestants if you need it they're pretty harmless and I hope you get better.

Indy Power: Go nuts for macaroons
Chocolate-dipped afternoon delights.
Coconut Macaroons
Just five simple ingredients for the most gorgeous, nutritious afternoon treat.
Please log in or register with Independent.ie for free access to this article.
Makes 12.
Gluten free, dairy free & vegan.
220g desiccated coconut
60g ground almonds
90g solid coconut oil
125ml maple syrup
75g dark chocolate
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Add all of the ingredients except the chocolate to your food processor and blend for about one full minute until you have a sticky mixture that you can easily roll into a ball. You still want the desiccated coconut to have some texture though.
3. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Roll the mixture into tightly packed balls (approx. 12), place them on to the baking sheet and press them down gently with your palm.
4. Bake for about 12 minutes until golden.
5. Take them out and let them cool fully on a wire rack.
6. When they're cool, melt the chocolate.
7. Dip the flat bottom of each macaroon into the chocolate and then set it on a plate covered in baking paper. Repeat with each macaroon, then drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top.
8. Pop them in the fridge to set.
Stock exchange
These macaroons only have five simple ingredients, all of which can be found in the supermarket. I came up with the recipe for them while doing a pantry clear out - I try to use up any half-open bags or containers as I find them. There's nothing more satisfying than a big clear out, whether it's your kitchen cupboards or your wardrobes. Then I make a list of the things I need - after the next trip to the shops everything's clean and fully stocked. Some baking essentials that I always like to have, as well as the ingredients in this recipe, are: oats, cashews, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, ground flaxseed, cacao powder and nut butter.
Indy loves
I'm often asked my favourite place to shop for ingredients and my answer is always Nourish. It has shops around Dublin and one in Cork and it really is a one-stop shop for all things healthy living from household cleaning products, natural skincare and supplements to ingredients, nutritious treats and vegan essentials. I shop there weekly and I love scanning the shelves for new products - Nourish is often way ahead of the curve with the products it stocks. If you don't have one near you, you can also shop online and its delivery is really quick and reliable. I often order online while I'm travelling so that it arrives the day I come home.

A doughnut shaped gallery space is elevated on the zigzagged walls of the ground floor in the vast prairie, which allows space underneath for rest, not only for the visitors but also for the workers of the farm. The doughnut shape was inspired by small volcanoes in the region, called Oreum, which have hollowed spaces on their summits.
On the roof of the museum, visitors can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of Jeju Island, just like they do on top of the volcanic mountains.

My painting, The Yellow Dancer, is currently featured in the Primary Colors online exhibition on the website for the Light, Space & Time online gallery. When I came across this call for art, I thought it seemed like a great opportunity to create a piece using a different approach than usual, as my color palette rarely incorporates these three colors together. If you didn't know already, the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. Mixing these colors in different combinations is what makes the three secondary colors (orange, green, purple). I was unsure of where to begin with this theme, so I created the painting in layers of casein paint. I first applied a layer of red across the entire piece of wood. After drying, I applied an second layer of watered down blue paint in loose, rounded strokes. Next, I used yellow paint to frame the blue shape and create a sense of movement. At this point, the shape of a figure dancing came to me through the abstract shapes on the left side of the piece. It was unintentional, but I was delightfully surprised. I then used a black acrylic paint pen to define this 'figure' and create lines separating the remaining red, yellow, and blue shapes. This painting measures 5" x 5" and is painted on teak wood.
On July 10th, I found out that this piece was accepted into the online exhibition for the Light, Space & Time online gallery. Over 700 entries were received for this international call for art, and includes painting and other media, digital art and photography, and three-dimensional artwork. I am also happy to share that my painting was included in the 'Special Merit Award' category for painting. The exhibition runs through the remainder of July, 2019. My painting, along with other merit award artists, can be found here. Also, the newsletter for the exhibition with other categories and winning artists can be found here.

A staggering £12 million has now been raised for the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal to help people affected by the devastating Ebola crisis in west Africa through web and phone donations, and UK government support, the organisation said today.
This total has been raised after 6 days of an appeal for an unprecedented outbreak. The DEC said they are "extremely pleased" to see how "sustained" the level of giving has been by the British public.
Saleh Saeed, Chief Executive of the DEC, said:
"We are extremely pleased to see the sustained level of giving by the UK public in response to our unprecedented appeal for the Ebola Crisis in west Africa, and want to thank each and every person who has given"
"We are also extremely grateful for the kind support of the UK Government for the aid match funding which has been a significant boost to the Appeal."
"Our member agencies are already doing so much– Providing food packages for people in quarantine, handing out life saving hygiene packs including soap, bleach, and a bucket and providing information and advice to help people be better aware of signs and symptoms – but there is still so much more to do."
DEC member agencies are scaling up their aid efforts in west Africa where they have already helped over 2.5m people affected by the Ebola crisis, including with information from wide scale information campaigns . They are reaching some of the worst-affected and most remote areas of Sierra Leone and Liberia.
So far, almost 5,000 people have been killed by the virus and more than 13,000 have been infected. But experts say the real figures could be far higher due to under-reporting
The £12m figure raised includes £5m aid match from the UK Government.

Nothing beats homemade shortbread. This is my very favourite recipe -- a lovely rich buttery shortbread with a delightful crunch. It's especially decadent when topped with this beautiful rich lemon frosting made with freshly squeezed lemon juice. It's just divine!Read More
Lemon & Earl Grey Shortbread
Although our winter has been pretty mild, there's a biting wind and we tend to get torrential rain one minute (usually just before the school run is about to start!) and glorious sunshine the next. I'm definitely in need of a little bit of comfort and so it'a been a biscuit sort of week in our house.
I went to wholesale earlier in the week and came back with a big box of beautiful lemons. They are the sign that spring is on its way and are brightening up my kitchen daily. I have dinner plans for the weekend with them, but I had a biscuit plan today.
My quest for dairy free alternatives is ever on my mind and I wanted to have a go at dairy free shortbread -- and why not make it gluten free too? I'm always a huge fan of lemon so my shortbread biscuits were to be lemon and I decided to pair them with earl grey tea. Now I'm not an earl grey tea drinker but I thought it would be interesting to try.
The dairy free alternative I used was Dairy Free Pure Sunflower which was an experiment as I found it at the supermarket and hadn't used it before. The flour was Gluten Free Plain Flour and I also added in some Corn Flour too. The dough is easy to make. The butter, vanilla essence, earl grey, lemon zest and sugar are creamed together in a bowl for around 5 minutes. Then the flour and cornflour are stirred in and mixed gently to form a dough. This is a sticky dough. I popped it in the freezer overnight and it came out of freezer soft the next day so don't worry if yours has this consistency.
The surface should be well-floured and a little more flour sprinkled on top of your dough before rolling it. I found it easier to pat down the dough with my hand until it was the thickness I was looking for (0.5cm) and then a quick roll with rolling pin just to smooth the surface. Once you have used your cutter to great effect (I used a 6cm cutter), gently move each cookie to a lined baking tray. They don't spread much during baking so you don't need to leave too much space between each biscuit.
Then bake them at 170 degrees (fan) for 15 minutes. They don't change much in colour or go golden brown like other biscuits might. You should remove them from the oven and gently move each one on to a cooling tray with a spatula and allow to cool.
Using tea in these biscuits might not be to your taste. You don't have to put it in. I loved the speckled texture but it does add a floral note to the final biscuit. They would work beautifully with just lemon -- maybe with the zest of two lemons since it's your only flavour.
I love these little shortbread biscuits. They are light, have a beautiful snap and are perfect with a cup of tea. I have eaten almost the entire batch on my own!
Lemon & Earl Grey Shortbread (Vegan and Gluten Free)
adapted from Wallflower Girl's Vegan Chamomile & Lemon Shortbread
- 200G DAIRY FREE PURE SUNFLOWER (or an alternative dairy-free butter)
- 1 TBSP EARL GREY (loose tea)
- Make the dough the day before you want to bake your biscuits
- Place your butter, vanilla, earl grey, lemon and sugar in a bowl and cream together -- around 5 minutes
- Stir in the gluten free flour and corn flour and gently mix until a dough is formed -- it will be a sticky dough
- Wrap in clingfilm and place in the freezer overnight
- When you're ready to bake them, preheat the oven to 170 degrees (fan) and line a baking tray with parchment
- Flour your surface well and place the dough on top, sprinkling the top of the dough with more flour
- Using your hands, pat the dough until it's around 0.5cm thick
- Flour your rolling pin and gently roll the surface just to make it smooth
- Using a cutter, cut out your shapes and gently move them to the baking tray
- Bake for 15 minutes
- Remove from the oven and gently transfer your biscuits from the baking tray to a cooling rack
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then enjoy :)
Lavender & Lemon Shortbread
I discovered last week that I have a slight addiction to lavender shortbread. A slight addiction being that I can demolish most of a packet in around 10 minutes. You really don't want to know the calory count of each biscuit. I thought I was pretty safe that this weird craving would be reserved for me - I mean my fussy boys would never eat these biscuits once they knew they had FLOWERS in them - and believe me, I was quick to emphasise that the purple speckles were FLOWERS. Wrong! They loved them as much as me *sighs with disappointment*.
I adore shortbread still warm from the oven. Freshly baked shortbread is just one of my absolute favourites. Whenever we go to anywhere with lovely little cafes (like National Trust venues) that sell fresh cakes and biscuits, I immediately make a beeline for the domed glass lidded cake stands in the middle and check out their shortbread offering, tailoring my meal to this little treat at the end. Although I love classic shortbread, the addition of lavender and lemon just adds a certain lift to the biscuit - it's just a hint of flavour - and the few people that have tried some of these home-baked biscuits said they were really moreish.
I posted a while back after my vain attempts to find dried lavender in shops that I could bake with. I struggled and so I decided that I'd grow my own lavender after this and my parents grow it in abundance in their garden. The lavender for these biscuits came from their crop and it is really lovely to be cooking with something you've grown yourself, even if it's only a small part of the overall bake.
This is a simple classic shortbread recipe. I like using rice flour in my shortbread as it gives an added crunch to the texture so this recipe uses a blend of plain flour and rice flour. The main thing to remember is not to overwork the dough. I also find that chilling the dough for 30 minutes or so (you don't want to leave it in the fridge for too long as it turns too hard and then you have to soften it again before using) really helps it keep shape before you roll it and use your cutters. I decided to use heart cutters as the biscuits I became so addicted to were heart-shaped but they would be great as any shape.
If you love shortbread as much as me, there's really nothing better than eating freshly baked. The dough can also be frozen (use your cutters to cut them into shapes and then freeze them at this point between layers of baking parchment) and defrost at room temperature for an hour. Super useful for any unexpected guests! You can also take this further and decorate them with royal icing although I like the simplicity of my biscuits so you can see the purple and yellow flecks throughout the biscuits. Or even change the flavour combinations like vanilla or orange.
Very happy I made enough to stash some in the freezer. They might just stay there until the summer holidays are over and school starts again. Party for one at my house!
Lavender & Lemon Shortbread Makes around 30 biscuits
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl
- Add the lavender and lemon and mix until combined (I added mine after the flour but it would have been better the combine them before this addition)
- Sift the flour and cornfour into a separate bowl
- Add the flours in 3 additions, mixing the dough briefly each time
- Gently knead the dough until it's smooth but be careful not to over-work it
- Wrap the dough in clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees (fan)
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough until it's around ½cm thick
- Stamp out your shapes with your chosen cutters - I used hearts but circle or fluted edged cutters would work well or anything you really fancy
- Place the biscuits on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper, leaving a little space between each biscuit as they will swell slightly
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sugar
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack

Law-Breaking and Theories of Resistance
Страна: США
Город: Binghamton
Тезисы до: 15.08.2017
Даты: 04.11.17 — 04.11.17
Область наук: Юридические; Социологические;
Е-мейл Оргкомитета: email@example.com
Организаторы: Department of Philosophy, Binghamton University/State University of New York
When is an act of political resistance justified? At minimum, it seems to require that the norms relevant to the act of the resistance must lack the moral authority required to demand compliance. But when does this occur? When norms lose their authority, are all forms of resistance justified? If there are limits to what kinds of resistance are permissible, how could they be determined? Might one resist by participating in an unjust system, but doing so in a deliberately inefficacious fashion? Alternatively, what can be said of methods of resistance that are intended to be effective, but fail to be so? Or, related, what likelihood of success is necessary (if any) in order for an act of resistance to be justified?
This conference aims to consider these and other questions related to political resistance. We welcome any papers which explore normative issues related to such questions. In this context, the contributions can cover, among others, the following topics:
• Civil disobedience
• Conscientious objection
• Complicity with status quo
• Solidarity
• Violent disobedience
• Strategic foot-dragging
• When and how to resist in a nearly just democracy
• The moral authority of democracy
• Small acts of rebellion
• Distribution of burdens associated with an act of resistance

Requake – Countless
This isn't the newest track, but Countless definitely one of my favorite free tunes of 2012. The heavyweight dubstep duo, Requake, always leave a lasting impression on their audience from the tremendous sub lines that riddle their tunes and their unmistakeable wobbles. This is still a free tune off their SoundCloud so take advantage of the download and let this tune ride!
Thievery Corp – Culture Of Fear ( Hawri 'n' Mandy Remix)
Ahhhh what a nice intro! I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for horns. They're uplifting, positive, wails tend to make me unable to hit next song on my music player. What we have here is a song by Thievery Corporation entitled Culture of Fear, and remixed by none other than one of Ganjaology's favorite Canadian duo's, Hawri 'n' Mandy. Once again they're proven their skill on the mic (S/O Mandy) and shined through with their production level(S/O Hawri). I would not be surprised to see this song being on one of Thievery Corps remix albums sometime. Check the tune! It's big! You'll be dancing by the end, no doubt.

Amish Made Modern Challenge
By Debbie Krajkowski
Are you ready for a challenge? This one will be fun! It's due October 19, please bring to our general meeting.
Here are the rules:
· Look at some images of Amish quilts. Be certain it is an antique Amish quilt, some of the newer quilts were made for the tourist trade and don't reflect the Amish aesthetic.
· Pick an Amish quilt that excites you. Print out that picture.
· Make a modern quilt inspired by that quilt – think about the color, pattern and/or quilting.
· Finish your quilt and bring it to the October meeting with the inspiration pic.
Amish quilts already have kind of a modern vibe. Need ideas on how to make it more modern? Let's review some of the characteristics of modern quilts as put out by the Modern Quilt Guild.
· Inspired by modern art or architecture
· Bold colors, high contrast and use of solids
· Improvisational piecing
· Simple minimalist design using geometric shapes
· Expansive use of negative space
· Asymmetrical
· Reinterpreted traditional blocks, less emphasis on block repetition
Here are some links to some great Amish quilts:
There are also some great books. I love all the quilts in this one!
There is no shortage of inspiration. You can do it! It will be fun; you know it will! I can't wait to see what everyone creates!
Your fearless challenge leader,
Debbie Krajkowski

Diabetes prediction in healthcare systems using machine learning algorithms on Hadoop cluster
- 464 Downloads
- Citations
Health care systems are merely designed to meet the needs of increasing population globally. People around the globe are affected with different types of deadliest diseases. Among the different types of commonly existing diseases, diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, etc. Health care monitoring systems for different diseases and symptoms are available all around the world. The rapid development in the fields of Information and Communication Technologies made remarkable improvements in health care systems. Various Machine Learning algorithms are proposed which automates the working model of health care systems and enhances the accuracy of disease prediction. Hadoop cluster based distributed computing framework supports in efficient processing and storing of extremely large datasets in cloud environment. This work proposes the novel implementation of machine learning algorithms in hadoop based clusters for diabetes prediction. The results show that the machine learning algorithms can able to produce highly accurate diabetes predictive healthcare systems. Pima Indians Diabetes Database from National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Diseases is used to evaluate the working of algorithm.

The wine-growing area Valle de Colchagua is 130 kilometers south of the Chilean Capital Santiago de Chile in Valle Central. Together with the similar area Cachapoal it forms the southern half of the Valle de Rapel region. The center is the city of Rancagua, known for its hot springs. Colchagua is flowed through by the Río Tinguiririca, which allows only a winemaking ever. The Mediterranean, hot climate is tempered by cool air currents from the western Pacific. Here, in 1996, the first Chilean wine route "Ruta del vino de Colchagua" was created. A wine-tourist attraction is the train "Tren del Vino", operated by steam locomotive, which travels through the vineyards.
The vineyards cover 20,000 hectares near the river and at the foothills of the Andes at 600 to 1,000 meters above sea level on loamy-sandy, mineral-rich soils. You have to by artificial irrigation be supplied by river water. It is 80% mainly the red wines Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot. Syrah. Carmenère and Malbec ( Cot ), as well as 20% of the white wine varieties Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grown. Well-known producers are Altaïr, Araucano (François Lurton ), Bisquertt, Canepa.

The Lust Series - Pla
We came across sustainable brand Pla, whilst spending a morning scrolling through Instagram. It was their "basket like" sandals with their cute branded insole and artisan flair that really grabbed our attention. We instantly imagined taking a stroll along the coast on a sunny day or popping to a quaint market in some village whilst holding a basket of wild flowers. Pla, is the epitome of slow design and sustainability. The island of Mallorca heavily influences the brand, is where the studio by Founder Irene Peukes is situated. Read on to find out more about the boutique artisan label.
Where are you from?
I am half German and half Spanish, but have spent the last 23 years in Spain, between Mallorca and Barcelona. As I am half Spanish, I decided to come to Spain to study, instead of studying in cities such as London or Amsterdam.
What is your design background?
I was given a grant in Germany to study a Design Master in Barcelona and afterwards I worked at Camper for more that 8 years. I then went on to co-create some iconic Camper shoes, such as the Peu.
What made you start designing?
I have always been interested in design, textile, clothes, art, theatre… I started studying Costume Design but didn't particularly enjoy the lessons (because of my teacher) and decided to study Fashion Design. I was not interested in fashion itself, but more so in everything around it (materials, creation, textiles…)
What inspired you?
Colour! I love the colour of nature but as well in art. Some artists that inspire me are Mark Rothko , Juan Usle or Sonia Delaunay. Here at the Pla of Mallorca, colour is everywhere, it's wonderful. Though it is not represented in an obvious way in the collections, it is around artisan women; watching them working, their techniques, makes me seek for new design possibilities.
How would you describe Pla in 3 words?
Design, handcraft and sustainability.
Where can people buy your products?
At www.pla.org.es and in different points of sale in Spain, UK, Japan, Australia and US.
Is there anything new we can expect from Pla?
We are always working on new ideas, maybe new shoes, a winter or a home collection… You never know, but just one thing at a time :)

Well hello 2019 - is it too late to wish you all a very happy, healthy and positive New Year? Never!
New Home
New Studio
New Year
There has never been so much neatly aligned for me. I hope that I can embrace the opportunities given to me through all this during 2019. I thought this time is a good opportunity to guide your through how my photographic world is already shaping up for this next year both in my real and online world …
Face to face
Already in 2019, I have a couple of guest workshops booked in and I'm looking forwards to some Question Time Sessions that are booked. I am now offering Product Photography via Courier covering the whole of the UK - from down the road to the furthest point! I am now accepting bookings for a few commissioned projects for the year. If this is you then please contact me in the usual way.
Over time, I have discovered the art of listening to all the lovely feedback that my work gives - from clients and through the internet. Not only the thank you and direct compliments about a set of images, but, most of all I have learned to stop. Listen…. to the deeper comments that I would have otherwise not considered. To listen to how my work makes people feel.
Now I am here, at this stage, it is all very obvious.
In my new year, my new home and my new studio, full of all the inspiring comments, I am going to follow a path that needs looking at. One that will take me online and that will fuel my loves - of sharing, of design, of learning new skills and exploring photography through research through my love of reading around the subject - from my beloved Colour Psychology, through what I now know as Positive Psychology and through dipping my toes in to the world of Philosophy. All this will give me greater control of my time! A valuable commodity these days - I shall value this hugely - being able to go and meet friends, connect with my family more and being able to be spontaneous.
Deep breath
Please world, what is another name for newsletter? I really don't like that…
Anyhooooo, through all the lovely feedback from my complimentary 7 day mini course and my New Shoots Magazine, I have been really grateful and inspired to take all this further… I plan to add (in the true spirit of a Magazine) the occasional supplement to my Magazine that will be called Letters from the Studio. I just want to be able to reach all my subscribers between issues if needed. I won't be bombarding your inbox, trust me :)
Here is what else I have in store for you during 2019…
First of all, I have designed a virtual library for you all to dip in to. I have called the collection of eBooks PhotoBites. Designed to be an easy read and full of wisdom - knowledge built from experience - they will be available as one offs or as series. The first is a series called Zero to Manual and will be available in three separate volumes or as a set. I am currently working on the first volume which I hope to have ready for publishing before our Spring here in the UK. The other two will follow on soon afterwards.
These are designed for the absolute beginner or intermediate photographer who is disappointed with regularly producing less than ordinary photographs. They are the foundations on which I intend to build through my eCourses later on in the year. If you are not yet signed up, then pop over to the right hand margin, sign up and keep up to date by receiving my New Shoots Magazine and the occasional Supplement.
Sending you light and health for the year…

One example of how accessible GFC is for sharing God's love is in the testimony of "Sam", an English speaking gentleman. Dasha shares, "Sam is in his late 60s. He became an orphan early on in his childhood. Unfortunately, his experience in the orphanage was an unpleasant one, to put it mildly. When Sam was in his mid-20s, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. After he was released on parole, he found the majority of Americans would separate themselves from him. Then, he met a Russian family in his neighborhood who happened to be active members at Grace Family Church. A friendship was built and the family showered Sam with attention and love, and invited him to attend services with them. Reluctantly, Sam started going to church. He enjoyed the atmosphere of the church and even though there was a slight culture barrier, he became a regular church visitor over the course of 5 years. Last year, Sam publicly dedicated his life to Christ; he repented and was baptized. Being American, he is definitely a minority in the Russian church, but that has never been an issue. Sam is now a member at GFC and his transformation in the last few years is a great example of God's grace. To say that his life changed would be an understatement."
Grace Family Church lives out their values of building relationships and extending God's love. They place an emphasis within their ministries on "praising the Lord through strengthening families and their influence in their surrounding communities, workplaces and everyday life. We see that a strong family, that knows and worships the Lord, is the ideal "light and salt" for the people around them, Dasha shares.
But as more and more families started attending, Grace Family Church soon saw the need for more space, along with providing children and youth ministries. As Dasha describes, "A true definition of a church would be "gathering of people" - but having a building helps the church be more effective. What brought us to the point of needing a building to call "our own" was realizing that if we wanted to grow and expand as a church, we needed a space that would allow us to create new ministries." It was with this heart and goal that they contacted CEIF with hope of obtaining a loan.
"CEIF has always been a huge blessing for our church. They were willing to give GFC a loan, which made it possible for us to purchase the church building. We are very grateful for this organization and sincerely believe that God's Kingdom is growing as a result of the generosity and sacrificial giving of many Believers", shares Dasha. She also had a word of appreciation to share with our investors who helped make this building possible, "The greatest investment anyone can make is investing in changing a person's soul into the image of God. We are extremely grateful that you use your funds to assist churches. Thank you for making it possible for many churches, specifically for our church, using the funds provided by CEIF, to impact many lives for God's glory."
Through purchasing their new church building, Grace Family Church was able to meet their goal of creating and further expanding various ministries including schools, youth sports clubs and choir, and seminars specifically geared towards men or women. "We obtained an unrestrained time and opportunity for people to come to church every day where they can grow spiritually and fellowship. Owning the church building allows us to have schools where the Word of God and biblical principles are taught to children as well as adults", Dasha excitedly shares. "A tremendous growth occurred since the remodel of the church building. Many new people joined GFC and became very active in serving God in various ministries. And it is possible due to the availability of the church facility throughout the entire week. GFC started a new ministry in San Jose spreading the Gospel to Russian-speaking non-believers, inviting them to join small groups. In addition, we had a few outreach programs such as the Family Outing Day, Vacation Bible School and the Harvest Festival. Inviting our surrounding community to these events gave us multiple opportunities to witness to non-believers. We are praying for the opportunity to expand the church facility or to obtain a more accommodating facility for our growing congregation in the near future."

So California is telling its empoyees they are banned from traveling to NC and OK because of that states peoples free thoughts. Most people I know will not go see a movie with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio or watch CNN but once again they dont give out bulletins they just don't go or don't watch. Yeah the sun will always rise unless it doesnt which will be blamed on Trump should it not rise. However each day it rises over Mexifornia it gets worse. Keep voting democrat.

Isn't it amazing when your work brings you together with a future spouse? We love stories like that. Juan is a barber by trade, and Amanda owns her own daycare center. Years ago, Juan agreed to provide haircuts for some of the children at a local daycare center. Amanda's daughter attended that daycare center, allowing Amanda and Juan to meet. Juan did some research, found Amanda's number, and the rest was history. Fast forward to their wedding and they are surrounded by a large, happy, close family. (Soon to be +1 in a few months, as Amanda and Juan are expecting a little girl!)
The wedding ceremony seemed almost magical. The flower girls carried lit candles down the aisle, and the wedding began right as the sun was setting. The gazebo where they were married was strung with small, twinkle lights, seeming to illuminate the whole event by candlelight. It was romantic and beautiful!
Have we mentioned how much we love working at The Granite Rose? This local business provides an amazing level of service to all their guests. We always feel like we're with family whenever we work there! DJ Dave Nadeau from A Main Event is also one of our favorites. When we see this vendor on the list, we know everyone is going to have a great time at the reception!
The first look photos were taken at the Robert Frost Farm.
Their wedding day had the most amazing foliage.
A quick stop at Taylor Mill for more photos, then on to The Granite Rose.
The wedding ceremony took place as the sun was setting. The flower girls carried candles down the aisle.
Mike and I wish you every happiness, both now and in the years to come. XXOO – Becca & Mike.
A special thanks to the vendors that made their day a success:
- The ceremony and reception were held at The Granite Rose
- The cake was created by Jacques European Fine Pastries
- DJ and Entertainment by A Main Event & DJ Dave Nadeau
- The flowers were from Susanne's Weddings

Hey there!
We're Lisa + Alex, the goofballs behind Vow of the Wild. We live in the beautiful state of Colorado, but we are passionate about traveling to new places and meeting new people along the way. We are lucky enough to have what we consider to be the best job in the world (other than a professional dog petter). We get to create films and photos for adventurous Colorado Elopements and adventurous Destination Elopements across the globe! Feel free to reach out to us, we'd love to meet you!

An open letter: Are you killing the value of your own music?

As for "modern requirements," the old processes fit a world of sit-down meetings with lawyers, drafting agreements, negotiating fees etc. The modern world consists of more automated systems enabling minimum friction and maximum alacrity in implementing ideas and ultra rapid distribution. Numbers for the song writers could be (and possibly are) just as big in the new world. But why should this exclude "small time" operators who could pay what they're worth, which would be a pittance by comparison, but if implemented by electronic systems, could easily scale to fit everyone's needs -- and put in a commensurate amount of compensation. I don't see this as a zero sum game for song writers. If anything, it would be additive, bringing in revenue that would be uncapturable with old, manual processes.
Just trying to be open minded here. There are a lot of creative professions trying to figure out a way forward. Professionally, I am also a creator and have experienced the hammer of forces brought on by the internet. It's not going away. We just have to figure out what will work. What will NOT work is sticking our heads in the sand and insisting the old way is the best way.
The process that is now obtaining a
synchronization license
isn't up for debate. Libraries/Publishers that don't have hit songs can automate and scale because their assets are not worth much and the value is fluid. Publishers with hit songs can ask whatever they want. And why wouldn't it be this way? This is absolutely the best possible scenario for both copyright and recording owners. Total control over when, how, and for how much money their music property will be used.
As for old and new, many of the most expensive songs to license for a sync are old. Try licensing
What a Wonderful World
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
and prepare to have you legs wobble. There are entire estates that depend on these iconic songs. They are the inheritance passed down from father/mother to children and grandchildren. Are you saying they should scale the price of the license so people can cheapen the song's value by putting their song up sync'd to a cat video? If you are a professional creator, why would you try to cheapen or steal people's stuff? Having publishers and master owners try to protect their property and generate income isn't putting their heads in the sand.
If you went to license a bigger song you'd see that for the most part the process is automated, but the final agreement does have to be negotiated, and rightfully so.
There is one company and a handful of publishers/record labels that agree with your ideals- songfreedom.com But if you want to do anything besides the basest of projects, yup, you jump right back into individually negotiating a license fee... and it ain't cheap.
