Kant on the Inapplicability of the Categories to Things in Themselves.Markus Kohl - 2015 - British Journal for the History of Philosophy 23 (1):90-114.details
This paper addresses the question of what we can legitimately say about things in themselves in Kant's critical doctrine. Many Kant scholars believe that Kant allows that things in themselves can be characterized through the unschematized or 'pure' concepts of our understanding such as 'substance' or 'causality'. However, I show that on Kant's view things in themselves do not conform to the unschematized categories : the pure categories, like space and time, are merely subjective forms of finite, discursive cognition. I (...) then examine what this interpretation might entail for central aspects of Kant's system such as his doctrine of noumenal freedom. (shrink)

Kant on Freedom of Empirical Thought.Markus Kohl - 2015 - Journal of the History of Philosophy 53 (2):301-26.details
It is standardly assumed that, in Kant, "free agency" is identical to moral agency and requires the will or practical reason. Likewise, it is often held that the concept of "spontaneity" that Kant uses in his theoretical philosophy is very different from, and much thinner than, his idea of practical spontaneity. In this paper I argue for the contrary view: Kant has a rich theory of doxastic free agency, and the spontaneity in empirical thought (which culminates in judgments of experience) (...) is essentially the same sort of spontaneity found in the practical use of reason. Accordingly, the faculties of understanding and practical reason both possess genuine autonomy. (shrink)

Kant and 'Ought Implies Can'.Markus Kohl - 2015 - Philosophical Quarterly 65 (261):690-710.details
Although Kant is often considered the founding father of the controversial principle 'Ought Implies Can' (OIC), it is not at all clear how Kant himself understands and defends this principle. This essay provides a substained interpretation of Kant's views on OIC. I argue that Kant endorses two versions of OIC: a version that is concerned with our physical capacities, and a version that posits a link between moral obligation and a volitional power of choice. I show that although there are (...) important senses in which Kant's conception of OIC differs from the way in which OIC is discussed in recent philosophy, his account raises important issues for contemporary theory: for instance, it highlights the extent to which acceptance or rejection of OIC reflects convictions about the sources of normativity.

Ought Implies Can in Meta-Ethics
Kant on Idealism, Freedom, and Standpoints.Markus Kohl - 2016 - Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie 98 (1):21-54.details
I propose a new way of understanding Kant's doctrine of freedom. My reading seeks to combine features of two popular opposed lines of interpretation, namely, of metaphysical and anti-metaphysical readings. I defend the view that Kant's idealist attempt to 'save' human freedom involves substantive metaphysical commitments. However, I show that this interpretation can fruitfully integrate important insights that are standardly associated with deflationary readings: first, the idea that for Kant freedom and natural necessity can be ascribed to one and the (...) same human being; and second, the idea that for Kant the belief in freedom and the belief in natural necessity belong to two different standpoints.

Kant on the Sources of Metaphysics: The Dialectic of Pure Reason by Marcus Willaschek. [REVIEW]Markus Kohl - 2020 - Journal of the History of Philosophy 58 (1):181-182.details
This book is about the Transcendental Dialectic in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Unlike most other treatments of this subject matter, it does not focus on Kant's criticisms of metaphysical arguments. Rather, it considers Kant's account of why "metaphysical speculation about the unconditioned"—for instance, about objects like God or the entire world—"arises naturally and inevitably out of the very structure of human reason".Willaschek posits "a three-part template underlying" Kant's account of how we are led to make unwarranted metaphysical judgments: " (...) a transition from the logical to the real or transcendental use of reason and its ideas and principles, the tendency to misuse the latter by...

The Normativity of Prudence.Markus Kohl - 2017 - Kant Studien 108 (4):517-542.details
Kant's account of "precepts of prudence" raises a striking interpretive puzzle. On the one hand, he presents such precepts as normative-practical rules; on the other hand, he relegates them to theoretical philosophy. I argue that to render these two strands coherent, we must assume that our empirical nature is a source of normativity for us: prudence is normative for us just because we have an "unconditional" empirical desire for obtaining happiness, a maximum of pleasant sensations. Since rules of prudence cognize (...) the means for causing a state of affairs that we desire and value insofar as we are receptive natural beings, these rules do not presuppose the active self-legislation of practical reason. Hence they belong to the theoretical cognition of nature. (shrink)

Practical and Theoretical Reasoning in Philosophy of Action
Kant on Determinism and the Categorical Imperative.Markus Kohl - 2015 - Ethics 125 (2):331-356.details
I provide a sympathetic reconstruction of Kant's motivation for endorsing incompatibilism about human freedom. On my interpretation, Kant holds that if all the determining grounds of our actions were subject to natural necessity, we would never be free to respect or defy laws of practical reason, and for Kant such freedom is a condition for the possibility that our actions are governed by categorical imperatives. I argue that his view rests on a gripping construal of the rational imperfection that afflicts (...) the human will. (shrink)
Incompatibilism in Philosophy of Action
Kant's Critique of Instrumental Reason.Markus Kohl - 2018 - Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 99 (3):489-516.details
Many commentators hold that in addition to the categorical imperative of morality, Kant also posits an objective law of non-moral practical rationality, 'the' Hypothetical Imperative. On this view, the appeal to the Hypothetical Imperative increases the dialectical options that Kantians have vis-a-vis Humean skepticism about the authority of reason, and it allows for a systematic explanation of the possibility of non-moral weakness of will. I argue that despite its appeal, this interpretation cannot be sustained: for Kant the only objective, universally (...) valid a priori principle of practical reason that governs transcendentally free agents is the moral law. All non-moral practical rules are mere "precepts" that lack genuine objectivity, certainty, and intersubjective validity. I suggest that for Kant the rejection of the possibility of non-moral practical laws plays an important part in his argument for the supreme rational authority of moral norms over prudential precepts of happiness.

Instrumental Reasoning in Philosophy of Action
Radical Evil As A Regulative Idea.Markus Kohl - 2017 - Journal of the History of Philosophy 55 (4):641-673.details
Kant's doctrine of the radical evil in human nature invites at least two serious worries: first, it is unclear how Kant could establish the claim that all human beings adopt an evil maxim; second, this claim seems to conflict with central features of Kant's doctrine of freedom. I argue, via criticisms of various charitable interpretations, that these problems are indeed insuperable if we read Kant as trying to establish that all human beings are evil as a matter of fact. I (...) then develop an alternative reading that avoids these problems. On my reading, Kant transforms the complaint that humans are evil into a prescriptive regulative principle. Although we cannot know whether all human beings really are evil, we ought to presuppose "inextirpable" human evil in the context of moral "ascetic", the practical field that answers to the duty of moral self-perfection and that aims at the development of virtue.

The Metaphysical Deduction and the Shadow of Humean Skepticism.Markus Kohl - 2018 - Kant Studien 109 (3):367-394.details
I examine the division of labor between the Metaphysical Deduction (MD) and the Transcendental Deduction (TD). Against a common reading, I argue that the MD is insufficient to prove the a priori origin of the categories. For both Kant and his main opponent, namely Hume, the question of whether the categories have an a priori origin in the pure understanding is inseparable from the question of whether they have objective validity. Since the MD does not establish the objective validity of (...) the categories, it cannot establish their a priori origin either. The MD is nevertheless an indispensable part of Kant's project because it lays the argumentative groundwork for the proof structure of the TD and because it provides the systematic plan for the future metaphysics of experience.

Kant on Cognizing Oneself as a Spontaneous Cognizer.Markus Kohl - 2020 - Canadian Journal of Philosophy 50 (3):395-412.details
I examine a range of issues concerning Kant's conception of cognitive spontaneity. I consider whether we can cognize or know ourselves as spontaneous cognizers, and why Kant seems to regard the notion of cognitive spontaneity as less problematic than the idea of moral spontaneity. As an organizing theme of my discussion, I use an apparent tension between the A-edition and the B-edition of the first Critique. Against common interpretations, I argue that in the B-edition Kant does not revoke his claim (...) that we can cognize, and even know, that our noumenal selves are absolutely spontaneous cognitive agents.

Substancehood and Subjecthood in Aristotle's Categories.Markus Kohl - 2008 - Phronesis 53 (2):152-179.details
I attempt to answer the question of what Aristotle's criteria for 'being a substance' are in the Categories. On the basis of close textual analysis, I argue that subjecthood, conceived in a certain way, is the criterion that explains why both concrete objects and substance universals must be regarded as substances. It also explains the substantial primacy of concrete objects. But subjecthood can only function as such a criterion if both the subjecthood of concrete objects and the subjecthood of substance (...) universals can be understood as philosophically significant phenomena. By drawing on Aristotle's essentialism, I argue that such an understanding is possible: the subjecthood of substance universals cannot simply be reduced to that of primary substances. Primary and secondary substances mutually depend on each other for exercising their capacities to function as subjects. Thus, subjecthood can be regarded as a philosophically informative criterion for substancehood in the Categories. (shrink)

Kant's Standpoint Distinction.Markus Kohl - 2018 - Kantian Review 23 (2):229-255.details
I examine what Kant means when he appeals to different "standpoints". I argue that Kant seeks to contrast an empirical, anthropocentric standpoint with a normative, more than human standpoint. Against common interpretations, I argue that the normative standpoint is not confined to practical reason, since theoretical reason is concerned with what ought to be as well. Finally, I defend the coherence of Kant's distinction against important objections.

Spontaneity and Contingency: Kant's Two Models of Rational Self-Determination.Markus Kohl - 2020 - In Manja Kisner & Jörg Noller (eds.), The Concept of Will in Classical German Philosophy: Between Ethics, Politics, and Metaphysics. Berlin, Germany: De Gruyter. pp. 29-48.details
I argue that Kant acknowledges two models of spontaneous self-determination that rational beings are capable of. The first model involves absolute unconditional necessity and excludes any form of contingency. The second model involves (albeit not as a matter of definition) a form of contingency which entails alternative possibilities for determining oneself. The first model would be exhibited by a divine being; the second model is exhibited by human beings. Human beings do, however, partake in the divine model up to an (...) extent, namely, as far as the legislative spontaneity of their law-giving faculties are concerned. I conclude by suggesting that for Kant, the mechanistic principle that we are exclusively determined by natural causes poses a twofold threat for human agency. In one respect (in relation to the second model), it threatens us with the obliteration of contingency, or with the universality of hypothetical necessity. But in another respect (in relation to the first model), it threatens us (and our putative "laws") with the obliteration of absolute necessity, or with the universality of contingency. (shrink)

Transcendental and Practical Freedom in the Critique of Pure Reason.Markus Kohl - 2014 - Kant Studien 105 (3).details
To many readers, it has seemed that Kant's discussion of the relation between practical and transcendental freedom in the Transcendental Dialectic is inconsistent with his discussion of the same relation in the Canon of Pure Reason. In this paper I argue for a novel way of preserving the consistency of Kant's view: in both the Dialectic and the Canon, 'transcendental freedom' requires the absence of determination by all natural causes, whereas 'practical freedom' requires the absence of determination by, specifically, sensuous (...) incentives. However, I argue that the defense of freedom presented in the Canon is abandoned by Kant in the Groundwork when he first develops his conception of the absolute purity of moral motivation. (shrink)
Kant: Rational Cosmology in 17th/18th Century Philosophy
Kants subjektivistische Begründung von Moral und Freiheit im Naturrecht Feyerabend.Markus Kohl - 2021 - In Dieter Hüning, Stefan Klingner & Gianluca Bordoni (eds.), Auf dem Weg zur kritischen Rechtslehre? Naturrecht, Moralphilosophie und Eigentumstheorie in Kants Naturrecht Feyerabend. Leiden, Netherlands: Brill. pp. 150-171.details
"Naturrecht Feyerabend" is a collection of student notes taken on a lecture that Kant gave around the time he was working on the Groundwork. I show that these notes portray Kant as proposing a defense of morality and freedom whose "subjectivism" is unparalleled by anything that we find in his major published works. Kant here traces both the normativity of the moral principle that we must treat humanity as an end in itself and the legitimacy of regarding ourselves as free (...) agents to the subjective needs of finite human reason that he discusses in the Transcendental Dialectic of the Critique of Pure Reason. I argue that this subjectivist defense of morality and freedom does not withstand the critical scrutiny that is suggested by Kant's considered (published) views on these topics. (shrink)
Post-Punk and the Struggle for Authenticity.Markus Kohl - 2022 - In Joshua Heter & Richard Greene (eds.), Punk Rock and Philosophy. Carus Publishing. pp. 87-96.details
The aim to develop authentic forms of artistic lifestyle and self-expression played a formative role in the foundational period of post-punk in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The struggle for authenticity during that period was complicated by the artists' growing awareness of the capitalist economy's ability to coopt and assimilate the ideal of an authentic counter-culture, that is, to utilize this ideal for exclusively profit-oriented signing, marketing, and production strategies. In this essay, I consider what models of authenticity one (...) can glean from the early post-punk scene and whether some such model might yield a viable ideal of authenticity that is resilient against the threat of inauthentic mainstream cooption: an ideal that can, perhaps, inspire the ongoing contemporary struggle for authenticity.

Die radikale Unbegreiflichkeit von Gott für den menschlichen Verstand.Markus Kohl - forthcoming - In Heiner F. Klemme & Bernd Dörflinger (eds.), Die Gottesidee in Kants theoretischer und praktischer Philosophie (Studien und Materialien zur Geschichte der Philosophie). Hildesheim, Germany:details
I examine the extent to which God is inscrutable to human reason in Kant's critical philosophy. I argue that Kant's view here is much more radical than the rationalist commonplace that we cannot grasp how divine perfection is compatible with the existence of (apparent) imperfections. In Kant's considered view, we are absolutely incapable of accurately representing God's nature in any minimally determinate way: when we try to go beyond the empty idea of a mere 'something', we inevitably distort the nature (...) of God in an anthropomorphic fashion. The reason for this radical inscrutability of God is that our discursive intellect with its finite conceptual resources cannot capture the nature of a supremely perfect being. Our only way to form a legitimate, positive notion of God is by means of an analogy with the features that we objectively cognize in finite beings. (shrink)
Ist die Lehrbarkeit der Tugend vereinbar mit Kant's Theorie der Willensfreiheit?Markus Kohl - forthcoming - In Bernd Dörflinger & Heiner F. Klemme (eds.), Kant als Tugendethiker? Studien und Materialien zur Geschichte der Philosophie. Hildesheim: Olms Verlag.details
In the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant declares that virtue "can and must be taught." This claim raises two problems. First, it is in tension with Kant's emphasis on the absolute moral responsibility that each individual agent owes to her transcendental freedom. Second, it raises the question of how the empirical events that constitute moral education can have an impact on atemporal moral choices. Concerning the second issue, I argue that Kant has a coherent framework for representing how empirical conditions can (...) influence ("affect") the noumenal will without determining it to action. Regarding the first problem, I argue that although a good moral education is mostly only a facilitating rather than a strictly necessary condition for moral virtue, there is one moral capacity that does require good moral teaching: namely, the practical power of judgment that correctly applies wide, general duties of virtue to particular cases.

Kafka on the Loss of Purpose and the Illusion of Freedom.Markus Kohl - 2019 - Polish Journal of Aesthetics 53 (2/2019: The Philosopher Franz K):69-60.details
I argue that Kafka's writings express the idea that our sense of freedom is deceptive. It is deceptive because we cannot discern any proper purpose or destination that would allow us to make truly meaningful choices. Kafka's thought here relates to the existentialist view of Kierkegaard, but it radicalizes that view by depriving it of its teleological dimension.

Kant on Cognition and Knowledge.Markus Kohl - forthcoming - In Anil Gomes & Andrew Stephenson (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Kant.details
I discuss the difference and the connections between Kant's notions of cognition (Erkenntnis) and knowledge (Wissen). Unlike knowledge, cognition is a representational state which need not have the propositional structure of a judgments. Even cognitions that have such a structure need not coincide with knowledge, because they might rather have the doxastic status of opinion or faith, or they might be false (whereas knowledge is a certain recognition of truth). I argue that while Kant distinguishes between many different species of (...) cognition, he uses the term 'knowledge' univocally across his theoretical and practical philosophy. All knowledge is based upon some kind of cognition that provides the sufficient objective, certain ground for a knowing assent to a proposition. However, not all knowledge must be based upon the demanding type of cognition that is central to Kant's overall argument in the first Critique, which requires a synthesis of concepts and sensible intuition. We have a lot of determinate knowledge, including knowledge that we possess transcendental freedom of will, that is based upon purely conceptual practical cognition. We can also have some indeterminate philosophical knowledge (e.g. knowledge that there are non-sensible, noumenal beings) that is based upon purely conceptual theoretical cognition. (shrink)
Kant on Freedom and Rational Agency.Markus Kohl - forthcoming - Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press.details
In "Kant on Freedom and Rational Agency", I aim to give a comprehensive interpretation and a qualified defense of Kant's doctrine of freedom as a systematic conception of rational agency. -/- Although my book follows Kant in focusing on the idea of free will as a condition of moral agency, it denies that moral freedom of will is the only relevant (transcendental) type of freedom. Human beings also exercise absolute freedom of thought (intellectual autonomy) in their theoretical cognition. Moreover, our (...) creation and appreciation of beauty requires our freedom of imagination. I consider these three varieties of free agency both in their own rights and in their systematic connections, by examining how they differ from and yet relate to each other. On this basis, my interpretation shows that and why for Kant transcendental freedom is the proper anchor ("cardinal point") of all meaningful, rational human activity: our moral efforts to become more virtuous and to make the world a better place; our theoretical efforts to understand, explain and predict the world; and our aesthetic engagement with the world of beauty, both artistic and natural. -/- Additionally, "Kant on Freedom and Rational Agency" illuminates Kant's intricate, multifaceted account by considering the various metaphysical, semantic, epistemological and normative dimensions of Kantian freedom and by revealing their systematic interconnections. One significant benefit of tracing these links is that by doing so we can arrive at a charitable view of how Kant seeks to justify the belief in moral freedom of will. -/- For many commentators, Kant's appeal to a moral 'fact of reason' as our basis for believing in supersensible free will is an abject philosophical failure or a lapse into dogmatic rationalism. By contrast, I show that Kant justifies our belief in free will through a rather powerful, two-pronged argumentative strategy. First, he constructs a practical-moral proof of free will via the fact of reason doctrine. Second, he provides a theoretical defense of this moral proof against challenges arising from a naturalistic worldview. The linchpin of this defense is his argument that naturalistic cognizers must presuppose their epistemic freedom of thought as a necessary condition of all objective theoretical (including naturalistic) cognition. Since epistemic freedom of thought and moral freedom of will are both species of transcendental freedom, naturalists cannot (coherently) debunk our practical self-conception as transcendentally free moral agents. The appeal to epistemic freedom of thought provides no positive grounds for believing in a free moral will; but it shields our moral self-awareness (which does provide such grounds) against its most prominent detractors. -/- This defense strategy (among other aspects of Kant's view that I examine in my book) shows that a significant part of Kant's legacy is his abiding potential to challenge and provide alternatives to a naturalistic philosophical worldview (held by the "defender of an omnipotent nature") according to which the mechanistic order of nature engulfs all metaphysical reality and (thereby) our entire humanity.

Nietzsche versus Kant on the possibility of rational self-critique.Markus Kohl - forthcoming - In Edgar J. Valdez (ed.), Rethinking Kant: Volume VII.details
I consider an epistemological, methodological dispute between Nietzsche and Kant about the possibility of rational self-critique: an activity where the intellect reflects on its cognitive powers, demarcates the proper use and limitations of these powers, and thereby achieves a systematically complete insight into what we can and cannot know. Kant affirms whereas Nietzsche denies that we can successfully conduct such a self-directed rational enquiry. By reconstructing the central argumentative moves that Nietzsche and Kant do or could make to defend their (...) respective position, I trace their disagreement to starkly diverging models of philosophical enquiry, of what philosophy is and ought to be all about.

This essay is an attempt to interpret the behaviour of K. in Kafka's novel "Das Schloß". The focus is on three episodes that stand, respectively, at the beginning, the middle, and the end of the novel.

Kant on Mind-Dependence: Possible or Actual Experience?Markus Kohl - forthcoming - Kantian Review.details
In Kant's idealism, all spatiotemporal objects depend on the human mind in a certain way. A central issue here is whether the existence of spatiotemporal things requires that these things are objects of some actual experience or of a merely possible experience. In this essay, I argue (on textual and philosophical grounds) for the latter view: spatiotemporal things exist (or spatiotemporal events occur) if they are objects of a (suitably qualified) possible experience.

text:
A lot can happen in 15 years. Few things manage to thrive for a decade and a half, especially in music. But a scrappy, left of center, Bay Area house music label, Dirtybird, has managed to do just that. Claude VonStroke, Dirtybird's founder, is marking this 15-year milestone the only way he knows how… working. This year, VonStroke will throw two dozen-plus parties, three festivals (including the famous Dirtybird Campout), host his traveling Dirtybird BBQ series in major cities across the US, publish a coffee table book, release a seasonal clothing line, stage art shows, produce a fly on the wall docu series...and kick it all off by releasing a new album, out February 21st.
What began as a free party, turned basement record label, has morphed into a truly thriving community whose familial, fun and welcoming vibe has won over hearts and minds across the world. And while Dirtybird has grown and evolved, VonStroke's core focus on music remains unwavering. The new album 'Freaks & Beaks' is a celebration of quirky innovation and a relentless pursuit of something new and fresh, while hearkening back to the freewheeling spirit that inspired the launch of his label. This is a project that draws upon the inspirations of family, old friends, new fans and proper dancefloors.
Claude will let his flock wet their beaks while they wait in anticipation of the new album with two new singles demonstrating the breadth of the dance music landscape explored on the record. Youngblood touches on the deeper sides of Claude VonStroke, a throwback to the label's early days, featuring local LA music house talent Wyatt Marshall, while All My People in the House is a dancefloor heater that is sure to unite new and old Dirtybird fans together.
Today, Claude also delivers fans part one of an intimate video series, shot by his sister Emily (an accomplished filmmaker), documenting the creation of 'Freaks and Beaks', celebrating this historic milestone and taking a deeper dive into the day to day life of Claude VonStroke on the road.
'Freaks and Beaks' is the fourth artist album and sixth full-length project from Claude VonStroke. He approached the album with a new process, including committing to daily creative time, experimenting with a lot of new hardware and having fun creating a huge amount of sketches. He made music on many levels of gear all the way from complex modular synths to simple drum apps on his iPad. Keeping it all DIY, he sampled his own voice and his two children on several tracks as well. He allowed himself to breathe while creating over 130 ideas, which were whittled down to the finished 11 album tracks.
Freaks & Beaks nods at the inspirations that underpin VonStroke's world, inside jokes between him and Justin Martin (FlubbleBuddy), unused experimental live sessions (Session A), playful noodling on synths (Alpine Arpline), obscure French producers (Frankie Goes To Bollywood), championing new talent (Youngblood), irreverent self-aware humor (Birthday Messages) and genre inspirations that range from ghetto tech and drum n bass to hip-hop and breaks. This is VonStroke's love letter to the vibrancy and genre diversity that have made Dirtybird such a singular label.
Renowned Bay Area artist Jeremy Fish created all the original artwork for the album. A beautiful box set will be available in limited edition quantities. The box set includes a triple gatefold album vinyl, 12x12 coffee table book marking the 15 year birthday of the label, a sticker pack and 3 poster prints all featuring the Jeremy Fish album artwork.
Claude VonStroke created a small underground record label called Dirtybird in 2005 and grew it into a full-fledged events, clothing and music brand over the last 15 years. During this time, he has also managed to release 4 artist albums and some of the most iconic house music tracks of the last two decades.
Most people know Claude VonStroke for his smiling DJ persona touring every major city, festival, and basement after-party around the world. But Claude has also influenced the very fabric of the dance community, A&Ring an impeccable roster of acts like Justin Martin, Fisher, Shiba San, Catz n Dogz, Riva Starr, Tim Green, Breach, Eats Everything, Walker & Royce, Shadow Child, and countless others. (And even naming a few of these artists.) Today, his Dirtybird label continues to surprise and innovate in the underground dance scene, releasing an enigmatic combination of house, funk, dirty-bass, and electronica.
VonStroke has released four original artist albums, a remix album, and a live album recorded when he closed the famed Movement Festival in his original hometown of Detroit Michigan. Some other music highlights include working on records with Bootsy Collins, Rihanna, Disclosure and Kevin Saunderson as well as a few #1 & #2 hits on Beatport. His partnership with Green Velvet as "GET REAL" has been one of the most rewarding friendships as Claude originally modeled his career off the quirky enigmatic style of his mentor and now good friend from Chicago.
In 2015 VonStroke brought his first festival to light called Dirtybird Campout, a unique boutique festival based on the games and activities associated with American Summer camp mixed with the best underground house and bass music in the world. He continues to innovate and curate new events with 2 additional multi-day festivals mirroring his Birdhouse radio show in Los Angeles and Chicago and his record BBQ event series that has been going since 2003!
VonStroke also loves art, most notably pop surrealist artwork that he has commissioned for the last 7 years on Dirtybird for all of the releases. Each year he hires a new artist and has had the pleasure of working with renowned artists such as Jeremy Fish, Dulk, Graham Carter, Dan May, Charlie Immer, Raoul Deleo and Felicia Chiao. Walking through the Dirtybird HQ in Los Angeles is like walking through an art gallery in the Wynwood district of Miami.
A lot of his success can be attributed to a good attitude. Claude does not scowl and look mean while he DJs. He does not pretend to know everything and he truly loves his fans. He is grateful to be curating, creating and performing music for a living and he knows that the reason people go to parties is to shake their booty and have fun.

Ebola outbreak spreads to 3rd province in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
The yearlong Ebola outbreak continues to spread.
ByMorgan Winsor
What is Ebola?
The Ebola virus is one of a group of viruses that cause hemorrhagic disease.
Jerome Delay/AP
LONDON -- The yearlong Ebola outbreak in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo has spread to a third province, health officials said.
Two new patients, a 24-year-old woman and her 7-month-old child, tested positive for the virus in the Mwenga area of South Kivu province on Thursday night. They fell ill after returning from a visit to Beni in North Kivu province, the epicenter of the current outbreak. The mother has since died, and her child is receiving treatment, according to a statement released Friday from Dr. Jean-Jacques Muyembe, director general of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's National Institute for Biomedical Research and head of the country's Ebola response team.
Officials have identified dozens of people who may have been infected by coming in contact with the woman and her child. They will receive the experimental vaccine that has been used to inoculate some 200,000 people in the outbreak zone, according to Muyembe.

A child reacts as a health worker injects her with the Ebola vaccine, in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, Aug. 5, 2019.
A third Ebola case was confirmed in the same area of South Kivu on Saturday, according to the latest data from the Congolese health ministry and the World Health Organization, the global health arm of the United Nations which last month declared the current outbreak an international emergency.
Since Aug. 1, 2018, a total of 2,877 people have reported symptoms of hemorrhagic fever in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's eastern provinces of North Kivu, Ituri and now South Kivu, according to the latest data. Among those cases, some 2,783 have tested positive for Ebola virus disease, which causes an often-fatal type of hemorrhagic fever and is transmitted through contact with blood or secretions from an infected person. An average of 81 new Ebola cases are confirmed each week.
The ongoing outbreak has a case fatality rate of about 67%. There have been 1,934 deaths so far, most from confirmed cases of Ebola, according to the latest data.
The vast majority of cases have been concentrated in North Kivu, specifically around the northeastern areas of Beni, Butembo, Katwa, and Mabalako. There are currently no confirmed cases of Ebola outside the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
(MORE: 2nd Ebola case confirmed in Congolese city of Goma, home to over 2 million)
A health worker wearing a protective suit enters an isolation pod to treat a patient at a treatment center in Beni, Democratic Republic of Congo.
This is the 10th outbreak of the disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the most severe there since 1976, when scientists identified the deadly virus near the Ebola River. It's also the second-largest, second-deadliest outbreak in the world.
The WHO's director-general has described the current outbreak as more complex than the deadlier 2014-2016 outbreak in multiple West African countries due to the region's political instability, attacks on health workers, a highly mobile population and community mistrust and misinformation. It's also the first Ebola outbreak in an active war zone.
However, two of four experimental treatments being tested in the current outbreak now will be offered to all patients after showing promise in saving lives. Preliminary findings from a randomized controlled trial that began last November in four Ebola treatment centers in North Kivu indicated that patients receiving either of two antibody-based therapies, known as REGN-EB3 and mAb114, had a greater chance of survival compared to those receiving two other experiential drugs, known as ZMapp and remdesivir
After a meeting to review the initial results, an independent monitoring board recommended all future patients be offered either REGN-EB3 or mAb114, while the other two treatments be stopped.
"From now on, we will no longer say that Ebola is incurable," Muyembe told reporters during a telephone briefing last week.

Avocet urges homeowners to protect against lock snapping this Woe-vember!
According to a recent report by LV= home insurance, November is the worst month of the year for break-ins – a statistic that has led to Avocet Hardware's Raymond Pearce calling on homeowners to protect themselves against burglaries in much the same way they do against the flu.
"A home in the UK is burgled every two minutes during November, but a quick and easy lock replacement could not only end this month of woe, but ensure houses are protected all year round," said Raymond, who was recently appointed as Avocet's new head of UK sales for its ABS snap-secure lock system.
"The LV= report shows what so many of us, both in the industry and amongst the general public, already knew and that is that the start of winter often sparks a rush of burglaries, with thieves taking advantage of home security weaknesses that have developed during the summer months.
"And this year, more than ever before, lock-snapping will feature highly as a means of forced entry during the dark months ahead, but a quick, simple and cost-effective lock change would stop the lock-snappers in their tracks.
"The effectiveness of our Sold Secure Diamond standard snap-secure lock has been proven time and time again – not least in Leeds, West Yorkshire, where its introduction into 10,000 homes led to a 36 per cent reduction in break-ins in just one year."
The issue of lock snapping is finally making the waves it should in the national media. Beat the Burglar presenter, Michael Fraser highlighted the issue on ITV's This Morning on October 31st (Visit http://www.itv.com/thismorning/hot-topics/crime-file-sue-hill to view). Although it's worth noting that experts at the MLA issued a standard in 2010 known as SS312 Sold Secure Diamond – the only absolute guarantee that a lock will be effective against lock-snapping. Details can be found on the Master Locksmiths Association's website – visit www.locksmiths.co.uk/news/the-mla-address-issue-of-lock-snapping/ to view.
To ensure the message and correct information is communicated, Avocet has put in place a team that is able to provide on the ground support and lock-snapping education sessions at NHWN meetings and events across the country.
"We are more than happy to attend any NHWN meetings or events in order to demonstrate the lock-snapping issue and the effectiveness of our Sold Secure Diamond guaranteed ABS solution," added Raymond. "And, where possible, we'll bring a local locksmith along who will be able to provide non-biased advice about the issue and the different solutions available."
Avocet's ABS Snap Secure lock features a patented system that provides a total barrier against forced entry, even if the lock is snapped. And what's more it also allows the door to still be opened and locked using the key from the inside. It was one of the first locks of its type to be accredited to the new British Standard TS007 (three stars), and is the only retro-fit euro cylinder that has passed the Master Locksmith Associations robust SS312 Sold Secure Diamond standard.
"The aim of the flu jab is to prevent people getting the flu and by fitting ABS Sold Secure Diamond rated snap-secure locks people are taking a major step in preventing themselves being burgled – and surely when it comes to burglary, prevention has to be better than cure?" concluded Raymond.

NY Gifted Education: First 2E School Opened Its Doors In NYC This Past Monday
September 11th, 2010 1:28 pm ET
Monday is the first day of school at The Lang School, a new independent private school for twice exceptional children in grades K-8.
The Lang School is the first elementary school in New York City and the only independent elementary school in the United States to serve children who are both gifted and with learning differences. There are as many as 50,000 twice exceptional students in New York City and up to 1 million nationwide, and they face particular challenges. With diagnoses such as ADHD, Aspergers, auditory processing challenges, dyslexia, and anxiety, twice exceptional students are mostly shuttled out of general education settings at an early age and languish wherever they land after that.
"Exceptionally bright children with learning differences are usually viewed as underachievers in gifted programs," says Founder and Director Micaela Bracamante. "Their academic and social challenges aren't addressed. And in special education programs their gifts are unrecognized and untended year after year. Neither approach acknowledges that giftedness and special education needs can require simultaneous support."
As the mother of a gifted child with learning differences, Bracamonte knows these challenges first-hand. After struggling to find an appropriate educational setting for her son, when all avenues seemed to be closed, she forged a new path, joined forces with nationally recognized experts in gifted and special education, and created The Lang School as a model environment for twice-exceptional students.
Enrollment is limited and space is still available.
For further information, contact The Lang School at 212.977.7777 or through www.thelangschool.org.

Your impostor syndrome wants you to fail. Here's how to stop it.
Impostor Syndrome is real. A lot of us have it. And its negative effects can go beyond just limiting our career opportunities to changing the very ways that we feel about ourselves and our potential for success.
If you spend your time in at work in fear of the eventual day when everyone will find out what a huge fraud you are, you're not alone.
Even though an estimated 70% of us will experience Impostor Syndrome during our lives, historically we've been terrible at being open about how we're suffering and sharing ways to overcome it. First identified in 1978, Impostor Syndrome is an overwhelming and insidious belief that everything you've achieved is because of luck and not your actual talent or skills. It's the deep down belief that you've only made it because you've faked it.
Impostor Syndrome is subtle, complex and can manifest in a lot of different ways. Psychology Today lists symptoms including generalized anxiety, depressive symptoms, lack of self-confidence, worry, extreme introversion, a need to look smart to others, and a propensity for shame.
Left unmanaged, your invisible impostor can have a some very real impact on your career. It can lead to you self-limiting your own opportunities, leaving new job prospects unexplored or not giving it your all for a promotion or to be part of new teams and projects in your office. It can hamper your overall curiosity around not just learning new skills but around new ways of doing things. It can change the way you think.
There's no single reason why we can feel like Impostors. Psychologist Dr. Audrey Ervin says some experts believe other personality traits, like anxiety or neuroticism, can be to blame. At the same time, behaviours or family experiences can have long lasting impacts.
The experience of Impostor Syndrome is different to everyone. Based on our backgrounds, personalities and circumstances we'll live with our internal impostors in unique ways. But digging a little deeper into what kind of impostor we think we are can be the key to helping us face it head on.
So what can we actually do about our own Impostor Syndrome?
Dr. Valerie Young is an expert on Impostor Syndrome and author of The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It. She's spent decades digging into the reasons why particularly ambitious people so frequently end up feeling like frauds.
In her research, Dr. Young has identified five common "competency types." These are the sets of rules and beliefs people with Impostor Syndrome tend to build for themselves as a coping mechanism. Over time these bad habits can evolve into full-fledged limiting beliefs and have a drastic impact on our self-image and the ways we think about success.
By looking into which type we relate most closely with we're a step closer to being aware of the day-to-day patterns that we've used to cope with our feelings of inadequacy but that which in the long run are holding us back from realizing our full potential.
Try to be honest with yourself about any of these behaviours. You can observe that you're having an impostor thought without engaging and perpetuating it. Being more aware of how you're thinking is the first step to changing your thoughts, starting with some of these actions from The Muse.
With this tendency you protect yourself by setting expectations of success and perfection that are impossible to reach. Even if you hit 99% of your goals, you'll feel like a complete failure and beat yourself up over missing the last 1%. Even a small, understandable mistake will make you question your abilities and doubt your competence.
For you success can always feel empty because no matter what you think you could have done better. Try to own and celebrate your achievements. Make a list of everything you've accomplished and look it over whenever you feel tempted to doubt yourself. Avoid burnout by learning to take your mistakes more in stride by seeing them as part of an ongoing process and not an end point of failure. Your work will never be 100% flawless — nobody's ever is — but you can train yourself to feel growth over failure.
Superpeople believe the only way to succeed is by working harder and longer than anyone else, no matter how unrealistic or unhealthy it actually is. The antithesis of "work smarter, not harder," they're driven by a need to accomplish all of their goals in all aspects of their life at the same time. When one ball drops, they feel unworthy of everything else they've achieved and focus on their failures above everything else.
On the surface Natural Geniuses have it lucky. Typically intelligent and highly skilled, they've attained a lot of success in life but this has led them to feel vulnerable and afraid of having to work hard or try new things. They're unused to feeling positive about hard work. Whenever they struggle they're not able to see it as an opportunity to achieve more but as proof of their hidden inadequacy.
For even the most accomplished and confident people, their lives and careers are a series of individual events. Try to see yourself as a work in progress. Look for specific and changeable behaviours that you can use to get more skilled at something over time rather than feeling you need to be immediately amazing or else you're not capable of it. Skill-building is part of a lifelong learning process that can be broken down into smaller more achievable micro-tasks. It's not all or nothing and nobody is going to be able to do anything the first time they try it.
Some alone time can be nice, but Soloists take it to the extreme. They believe they should be able to do absolutely everything on their own. If they need to ask for even a small amount of help they see it as an immediate failure and paradoxically, an inability to do anything on their own despite the huge amount that they do get accomplished on their own.
Break the silence around what you're feeling. Shame came keep a lot of people from speaking up, but for a Soloist knowing that there's a name for what you're feeling, and that others experience it too, can be extremely freeing. Know that you can always re-create the right rules for yourself. If you've been believing that it's a sign of weakness to ask for help, see a switch as you reframe this as a way of asserting your rights to ask for to something you deserve. Recognize that you're worthy of having others help you and that asking for it is a sign of strength.
Experts are deeply afraid of feeling stupid or embarrassed. To make up for feelings of not being being experienced enough, they feel a deep need to know absolutely everything before they'll speaking up in class or a meeting. They find it difficult to start a new project and use the need to constantly gather new information to procrastinate and feed their Impostor Syndrome, leading them to not apply for jobs, put their hands up for stretch assignments or enter into situations that they can't control.
A positive attitude toward lifelong learning is important. There's always more to learn if you we can figure out how to have a healthy approach, driven by curiosity and not fear, to building knowledge. Think about practicing "in-time learning" and look to develop skills when you know you need them and not only theoretically. Think about becoming a mentor or volunteer to others as a way of sharing knowledge and experiences in a safe way that will also benefit others.
If you want to dive more deeply into any of these feelings, Dr. Young recommends one-on-one time with a career coach, counsellor or psychologist.
Send your impostor packing and Prosper.

Q: How to set Python scipy's nquad options to integrate near a singularity (avoid divide by zero)? I'm trying to use Python's scipy library to integrate a certain function, which involves dividing by zero when c = +1. Therefore, I want to integrate up to c = 0.99, but I cannot figure out how to set the various options and parameters, such that the integration works.
Here's a minimal example:
from scipy.integrate import nquad

options={'limit':5000,'epsrel':0.5e0}

results = []

for d in range(-4,5):
    f = lambda a,b,c: a**2*b**2 / (a**2 - 2*a*b*c + b**2 + d)
    temp = nquad( f, [[0,30],[0,30],[-1,0.99]], opts=[options,options,options] )
    results.append( [d, 4*10**(-8) * temp[0]] )

print(results)

I've tried to increase the limit, but this does not seem to help. I've also played around with the epsrel value, to no avail.
For what it's worth, I managed to do this quite easily in Mathematica, so I do know that it's possible. I assume it's just a matter of how I choose nquad's options. For reference, this is Mathematica's output:

There's probably a lot happening behind the scenes in NIntegrate, but still, the evaluation gets done in a few seconds without any trouble.

A: Your function is an equilateral hyperbola of type

the singularity in your case is the vertical asymptote that happens for

so, to avoid the singularity, you can define your f as
f = lambda a,b,c: (a**2 * b**2) / (a**2 - 2*a*b*c + b**2 + d) \
                  if d != -(a**2 - 2*a*b*c + b**2) else 0

so we got
import numpy as np
from scipy.integrate import nquad

options={'limit':5000, 'epsrel':0.5e0}

results = []

for i, d in enumerate(np.arange(-4, 5)):
    f = lambda a,b,c: (a**2 * b**2) / (a**2 - 2*a*b*c + b**2 + d) \

Prawn Cocktails, also known as Shrimp Cocktail, swept the party scene at the turn of the century. This seafood dish was the most popular hors d'oeuvre in Great Britain in the 1960s and into the late 1980s, but the United States picked up on the trend decades earlier. Some sources link the serving of the dish in cocktail glasses to the ban on alcoholic drinks during the 1920s prohibition era United States. The dish is simple but was reserved for only the most sophisticated: it consists of shelled, cooked prawns in a cocktail sauce service in a glass. Though many Americans now buy pre-made, store-bought cocktail sauce, this homemade recipe is a simple, fast, and delicious way to elevate any dinner party you want to throw.
10 cups cold water
2 medium carrots, quartered
2 stalks of celery, quartered
1 large onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved
1 lemon, halved
½ bunch parsley
5 springs fresh thyme
1 pound medium or large shrimp, rinsed and in the shell
1 lemon, zest finely grated and juiced
4 teaspoons horseradish, trained
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Hot sauce of choice, to taste
Place the water, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, lemon, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer, then place the cover on top (slightly ajar) and cook for twenty minutes.
Drop the shrimp into the simmering liquid and turn off the heat. Cook the shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they curl and turn punk—between two and three minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.
Drain the shrimp and cool to room temperature. Then, peel the shrimp and remove the vein along the back curve. Refrigerate if not serving right away.
Combine ketchup, lemon, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, bring shrimp to room temperature for twenty minutes. Put cocktail sauce in a medium bowl and surround with shrimp. For individual glasses, pour cocktail sauce into a cocktail glass and place shrimp around the rim. Garnish with lemon and serve.
No prohibition-era cocktail menu would be complete without a Bee's Knees, a classic made with Gin, fresh lemon juice, and honey. The name, as you may have guessed, comes from the prohibition-era slang, meaning "the best." As with many cocktails from this time in history, the Bee's Knees was invented as a way to hide the scent and flavor of poor quality homemade alcohols—in this case, bathtub gun. The addition of honey was previously seen as bizarre; cocktails of this era instead used plain sugar. Now, drinkers don't have to do much by way of covering up the alcohol taste, but the combination of lemon and honey was built to last. For a fun twist, try topping yours with a float of dry champagne.
2 oz gin
¾ oz lemon juice
¾ oz honey
Combine gin, lemon juice, and honey in a shaker.
Add ice to container and shake vigorously.
Strain into large, chilled cocktail glass and garnish with lemon peel. For some extra glamour, top with a dry champagne float and enjoy.
This simple cocktail can be made easier with a few honey-related twists. If your honey is too thick, it may be diluted (1:1) with warm water to thin the consistency. If you want to up the sweetness, dilute your honey (1:1) with simple syrup instead of water. For an added twist, add a sprig of basil as garnish instead of the traditional lemon peel.
A classic party food for the ages, Deviled Eggs date as far back as ancient Rome. However, the dish gained worldwide popularity in the early 20th century, making its way onto party platters around America. Also known as stuffed eggs, Russian eggs, and dressed eggs, this dish involves hard-boiled eggs that have been shelled, cut in half, and filled with a paste. The paste is most often made from the egg yolks from the hard-boiled eggs mixed with other ingredients, such as mayonnaise and mustard. Generally served cold and as a side dish or appetizer, this popular food is simple, delicious, and a classic served at the House of Shields.
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved lengthwise
¼ cup mayonnaise (full fat)
½ teaspoon white vinegar
Paprika to garnish
Once peeled and halved, scoop the egg yolks out of the hard-boiled eggs and deposit into a large mixing bowl. Set aside the egg whites.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and salt to the yolks. If desired, add pepper to taste.
Mash the ingredients together with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
For a quick shortcut, use a tablespoon to deposit the mixture back into the egg white halves. For a better presentation, load the egg yolk mash into a piping bag. Squeeze the yolk mixture into the egg whites.
Garnish with paprika and optional cilantro.
For traditional serving, chill for one to two hours before enjoying with friends and family.
Traditionally served cold, Vichyssoise is a thick soup made of boiled and puréed leeks, onions, potatoes, cream, and chicken stock. Nobody is certain of this classic soup's origin—though Julia Child called it an "American invention," historians debate its roots in French cuisine. A similar potato and leek soup recipe was created in 1869 by the French chef Jules Gouffé, but another French chef—Louis Diat, based at the Ritz-Carlton in New York City—is credited with its reinvention. Though it is traditionally served cold, I can also be eaten hot.
The recipe is simple, easy, and timeless.
2 medium potatoes
4 fresh chives
1 tsp nutmeg
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Clean and slice the leeks, discarding the green ends. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and finely chop the leeks.
Add leeks to the butter and let sweat for five minutes. Stop sweating if they begin to take on color. Add the potato cubes and cook for another two minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add chicken broth to pot, stir, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cooking on low heat for around 35 minutes—until the leeks and potatoes are very soft. Remove from heat and let cool for several minutes.
In small batches (1-2 cups at a time), puree the soup using a high speed in your blender. When finished, return the soup to the cooking pot.
Whisk in cream and nutmeg, then season soup with salt and pepper to taste. Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook an additional five minutes. If the soup is too thick for your liking, add more broth.
Transfer soup to a mixing bowl and chill over an ice bath, stirring occasionally. When the soup is at room temperature, cover in plastic wrap and put into the refrigerate to cool.
Season to taste, top with chives, and serve in chilled bowls.
Named for the inimitable John D. Rockefeller, this recipe was created in a New Orleans kitchen in 1899. Jules Alciatore developed the dish to address a shortage of escargot; the locally-available oysters provided a suitable substitute. The dish is characterized by a special green sauce and the inclusion of bread crumbs, which are then baked or broiled. The green sauce recipe has never been revealed in an official capacity, but it likely includes a purée of green vegetables, parsley, celery, chives, and capters.
Simple but indulgent, this is a great way to eat oysters.
18 fresh oysters (on the half shell)
3 tbs of butter
6 tbs of finely-chopped fresh spinach leaves
1.5 tbs finely-chopped onion
1.5 tbs finely-chopped parsley
2.5 tbs breadcrumbs
Tabasco sauce to taste
½ tsp of Pernod (or another anise-flavored spirit)
Lemon wedges (for garnish)
Use an oyster knife to open the shells and remove the oysters. Discard the top shells, but scrub and dry the bottoms. Drain the oysters over a bowl to reserve excess liquids.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the spinach, onion, parsley, bread crumbs, Tabasco Sauce, Pernod, and salt. Remove from heat and let cool.
Press this mixture through a sieve and let cool. You may make this mixture ahead of time and keep refrigerated until use.
Preheat your broiler. In the meantime, line an ovenproof plate with a layer of rock salt (1" thick). Set oysters in the rock salt, placing a bit of the reserved liquid on each oyster. Then, spoon an equal amount of the prepared spinach mixture over each oyster, spreading to the rim of the shell. Add breadcrumbs.
Broil for approximately 5 minutes (or until the edges of the oysters have curled and the topping begins to bubble).
Garnish serving plates with parsley springs and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
The Sazerac is a New Orleans variation of a cognac or whiskey cocktail. Traditionally, this cocktail is a combination of cognac or rye whiskey, absinthe, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar. Though the original recipe called for cognac, an insect epidemic destroyed several French vineyards, resulting in a switch to rye whiskey. This is the oldest-known American cocktail, originating in the pre-Civil War American south. It should be served straight up in a rocks glass.
1 sugar cube
3 dashes Peychaud's bitters
2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 oz cognac or rye whiskey
½ oz absinthe
Use the absinthe to rinse a chilled rocks glass. Discard any excess and set aside.
In a mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube and both bitters. Add the rye, fill with ice, and stir.
Strain drink into the prepared glass.
Garnish with a twisted lemon peel.
A classic gin cocktail, the Aviation was created y Hugo Ensslin, the head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York. First served in the early 20th century, the recipe was published in a 1916 mixed drink book. The cocktail can be considered a variation on the gin sour and is made with gin, maraschino liqueur, crème de voilette, and lemon juice. It should be served straight up and in a cocktail glass.
½ oz maraschino liqueur
¼ oz crème de violette (or Crème Yvette)
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice.
Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass.
Garnish with a cherry (fresh or maraschino).
The Mint Julep is a bourbon-based cocktail associated with the American South, originating in the southern United States in the late 18th century. Since the early 20th century, the drink has been promoted in association with the Kentucky Derby—each year, nearly 120,000 juleps are served at Churchill Downs over the two-day period. A Mint Julep should be served on the rocks and in a highball glass, preferably on a very hot and humid day.
½ tsp powdered sugar
2 oz bourbon
Combine the powdered sugar and water at the bottom of a highball class.
At the mint leaves and muddle.
Add bourbon and pack tightly with crushed ice. Stir until the cup is slightly frosted on the outside.
Serve with more crushed ice (forming a dome) and garnish with a mint spring. Add bitters to top if desired.

The battle to mandate GMO labeling in the state of Connecticut looked very promising. 90% of the CT residents polled supported mandatory GMO labeling. Early vote counts within the legislature showed the majority of legislators were in favor of this bill. However, in recent developments, it has been found that this bill has now been eviscerated.


What are the Different Types of Modular Wall?
Cubicles can be easily broken down and reconfigured.
Some contemporary modular walls are constructed of wood and opaque glass, allowing little privacy.
Modular wall products are available in many different types from cloth cubicle walls to metal warehouse dividers. Modular office walls are also called partitions or partition wall systems. A typical modular wall system is shipped in pieces that need to be assembled. Each modular kit usually contains panels plus the fittings or connectors.
Some types of cloth-covered office cubicles are movable walls that can be placed in different configurations. These office cubicle walls may be able to be adjusted to different heights to better fit each unique work space. Cloth modular walls may be padded to increase sound absorption.
Acrylic modular wall panels may be smooth or textured. Clear acrylic panels give the look of windows in modular walls. Both cloth and acrylic cubicle walls may have shelving and cabinets to create an inner cubicle while presenting a plain outer wall surface. A modular wall system often fits together to form a block of cubicles such as six or eight that share common walls.
Some modular wall systems are very plain and basic, while others are deluxe. A higher end modular system is usually padded and features a lot of storage options in its inner walls. In some work areas, only one or two prefabricated walls may be used, such as to separate a table of office equipment from a reception area. A modular wall may serve to hide office mess and add style. Some of these movable walls are covered in attractive cloth in stylish patterns or appealing accent colors such as red to add warmth to reception space.
Modular office walls are made in a variety of colors and patterns, but generally solid neutral colors such as gray or navy are the least expensive. Extra padded modular, movable walls may be more expensive than thinly padded ones, but may reduce noise better. There are types of modular walls to suit any commercial space.
Prefabricated walls are not just made for office settings, but also to divide work areas in warehouses. For example, a modular wall system could be used to create walkways within warehouse space or be set up to enclose equipment or office space in warehouses. Modular walls are usually designed with quick installation in mind, as companies don't want to take a lot of time on wall assembly.

How do I create a corporate directory (LDAP)?
If your organization has a directory service like Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP, you can load these directories to all your phones by creating a new corporate directory. If your organization has multiple directories, you can add each of them, designate one as the system default, and then override that default on individual devices as needed. By using corporate directories, you only have to make updates in a single location and your changes will mirror on all your phones automatically. Those responsible for implementing a corporate directory should be familiar with LDAP and work closely with their directory system admin during setup.
Note: At this time, corporate directories are only supported on Cisco MPP, Cisco SPA, Polycom, Snom, VTech, and Yealink devices. All other devices need to be set up manually per the manufacturer's specifications.
2. Click Corporate Directories in the left sidebar and then click [ADD CORPORATE DIRECTORY].
3. Enter a Name, Host (optional), and Port for the corporate directory.
4. Click the checkmark icon and then click the newly added corporate directory to edit its settings.
Host: Host DNS name or IP address of the directory server. Devices must be able to resolve this address since the searches are executed directly from the phone to the directory server.
Port: The default LDAP port is 389. It is unusual for this value to be different. LDAPS is not always supported. As a result, make sure to use a username with read-only access. If LDAPS is deployed, the correct port will need to be entered (usually 636).
Use TLS: Enable this setting to use LDAP over TLS. This is only supported on Polycom devices and where the LDAP server has a valid certificate.
Bind DN: The distinguished name (DN) with which devices will bind (authenticate).
Bind Password: Password required for the phone to authenticate as the given Bind DN. Click Show Password to display/hide the password. LDAPS is only supported on Polycom phones and only if an appropriate certificate (see the Certificate tab below) is uploaded. Unless an appropriate certificate has been uploaded, the bind password will be sent in clear text across the network. If you do not have a valid certificate, it is highly recommended that the bind DN should be a read-only user. Certificates are only usable on Polycom devices. On all other manufacturers handsets, the bind password will ALWAYS be sent in clear text. Failure to use credentials with read-only access can lead to the directory service being compromised.
Search base: Directory location where searches will be based. We recommend using a narrow search base. The impact of the searches can be minimized by using a more specific search base (i.e. "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com" is better than "dc=example,dc=com").
Search scope: Depth of the search through the directory tree.
Subtreeb: Searches all entries in and below the location specified in the search base.
One level: Only searches entries in the location specified in the search base and not any subdirectories.
Filter: Optional filter added to all searches made by the devices against the directory server. We recommend using a narrow filter. Defining a filter like "(objectclass=person)" can significantly reduce search load in certain directory implementations.
Display name attribute: Attribute used as the name in results returned to the device in searches. Used for Cisco/Linksys SPA devices. For Polycom SoundPoint IP devices, the results are displayed [Last Name Attribute], [First Name Attribute].
First name attribute: Attribute that contains the first name in the directory. Devices will also filter against this attribute in searches.
Last name attribute: Attribute that contains the last name in the directory. Devices will also filter against this attribute in searches.
Phone number attributes: A comma separated list of phone number attributes in the directory. In the case of Cisco/Linksys SPA devices, the first listed phone number is the only number that the device can directly dial. The rest are only displayed for informational purposes.
6. If you have a Polycom, you can add the certificate in the Certificates tab.
Add the certificate in the provided text field in base64 PEM format. Make sure to copy and paste the entire contents of the certificate file provided by your certificate authority within the header -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and footer -----END CERTIFICATE-----. Multiple certificates can be entered as needed.
If your LDAP server is using a certificate signed by a certificate authority that is 'trusted' by Polycom, then no settings are needed on this page.
If you don't have a certificate signed by a certificate authority that is trusted by Polycom, then you must provide the "public certificate" of the signing certificate authority. You will generally need to contact your certificate authority to obtain this.


Tabouleh is a light and refreshing salad of bulgur wheat. Tabouleh is found in delicatessens and supermarkets in Australia. It is an excellent salad to eat with shop bought roasted chicken as an easy picnic or a light dinner.
Tabouleh: Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and cover it in cold water. Set it aside for 1 hour (30 minutes will do if you are short of time). Drain the bulgur wheat well.
Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and add all the remaining ingredients. Mix the salad so that all the ingredients are well distributed. Season the salad and serve or cover it and refrigerate it for up to one day before serving.

Ireland brings back pandemic unemployment support as restrictions increase
By Molly Killeen | EURACTIV.com
Amid a surge in COVID-19 cases and the emergence of the new Omicron variant, the government has reintroduced several measures to limit the spread of the virus. [EPA-EFE / AIDAN CRAWLEY]
Ireland has brought back its Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) for those who lost jobs due to the reintroduction of restrictions.
Amid a surge in COVID-19 cases and the emergence of the new Omicron variant, the government has reintroduced several measures to limit the spread of the virus.
These include the closure of nightclubs, greater social distancing in bars and restaurants, and more stringent limits on the number of attendees allowed at live events.
The government's Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme gave employers a stipend to cover their workers' pay during the pandemic. It was scaled back last week as part of plans to relax restrictions, but this has been halted following recent events.
However, the reinstatement of restrictions has led to calls from the hospitality sector for more government support.
"I know many workers will be worried tonight", tweeted Heather Humphries, Minister for Social Protection. The Department of Social Protection, she added, would work on the reopening of the PUP scheme "as a matter of urgency."
She added that her department "will work on this as a matter of urgency, and full details will be announced in the coming days."

Brandalism have been invited to exhibit works alongside some of the world's most influential interventionist artists at the Architectural Institute in Prague, Czech Republic.
Cultural Hijack explores the role of activist art and public intervention as practices of resistance across the landscapes of contemporary crisis. Combining exhibition and live interventions throughout the city, Cultural Hijack brings together international and local artists, presenting critical perspectives on how cities both serve and perform power, shaping our everyday thoughts and actions.
Across the planet, artists are challenging the enclosed sphere of the art world, reclaiming the space of the city as situation and material for new, hybrid forms of art practice. These experimental practices are recycling tactics and toolkits from the histories of protest and seeding new ground. Cultural Hijack shows how this cross-pollination between art and radical politics opens up new spaces of resistance. Within these spaces of resistance we encounter activists appropriating aesthetic, poetic and communicative techniques from art, and artists making work that aligns with broader social movements.
Capitalism continues to co-opt and transform public space to serve its needs, and the space to imagine real alternatives is continually shrinking. Thus, reclaiming the space of the imagination through creative disruption is a vital step in challenging conditions of subservience in a 'control society' and breaking out beyond the world as it is.
The works presented here, all made in the opening decades of the 21st Century, offer important questions about art's political efficacy in times of global crises. What is the act of cultural hijack trying to achieve through these temporary reclamations? Can the language of civil disobedience and creative resistance help activate a critical conscience? Does this focus on 'symbolic action' distract from real change? Or can small acts of disruption and creative resistance 'build the muscles' of social movements?
