Q: Django. How to automatically select the desired user in the form I recently started studying Django. I have a model that is associated with users.
Need to fill in the "User" field automatically.
I wanted to use request.user, but my attempts were unsuccessful. Can you tell me how to do it correctly?
Sample from - https://i.stack.imgur.com/zcwLk.png
models.py
class Ticket(models.Model):

    ticket_id = models.BigAutoField(auto_created=True, primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')
    ticket_title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    ticket_date_open = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    ticket_status = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    ticket_reason = models.TextField()

    user = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, on_delete=models.CASCADE, verbose_name='User')

forms.py
class TicketForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Ticket
        fields = ('ticket_title', 'ticket_status', 'ticket_reason', 'user',)

views.py
class CreateTicket(CreateView):
    form_class = TicketForm

    template_name = 'support/new_t[enter image description here][1]icket.html'
    success_url = reverse_lazy('test')

Form - https://i.stack.imgur.com/zcwLk.png

A: You can try by overriding form_valid method
class CreateTicket(CreateView):
    form_class = TicketForm

    template_name = 'support/new_t[enter image description here[1]icket.html'
    success_url = reverse_lazy('test')

    def form_valid(self, form):
        obj = form.save(commit=False)
        obj.user= self.request.user
        return super(CreateTicket, self).form_valid(form)

A: You can override the get_initial() method of CreateView:
def get_initial(self):
    if self.request.user.is_authenticated():
        return {"user": self.request.user}
    return super().initial.copy()

Adapt to your needs.

Poaching players from NFL roster cut downs: the AFC East
Let's search for some diamonds in the rough
By KyleSmithforGM Aug 14, 2019, 8:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Poaching players from NFL roster cut downs: the AFC East
Dennis Schneidler-USA TODAY Sports
This series will involve scouting - electronically - the 90 man rosters of the other 31 teams in the league for players who might get left behind at final cut downs, and who could potentially provide value as the 52nd or 53rd man on the Redskins' roster.
This edition takes a look at the AFC East, home of the New England Patriots, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and Miami Dolphins.
Gunner Olszewski (WR) - A UDFA slot receiver with sneaky speed as a return man. Could potentially end up on their PS.
Jakobi Meyers (WR) - This UDFA out of NC State was one of Kelvin Harmon's teammates and has been lighting it up in Pats' training camp. He may make the team, but if he doesn't, he may be worth a look.
Byron Cowart (DT) - A 5th round draft pick out of UMD, Cowart is on the bubble, but has been showing well in pre-season. If he's relegated to the PS, he could be considered for additional Redskins defensive line depth.
Greg Dortch (WR) - This UDFA out of Wake Forest could be the PR/WR the Redskins are looking for. He comps to — guess who? — Jamison Crowder.
Frankie Luvu (LB) - Luvu was a 2018 UDFA from Washington State picked up by the Jets last season. He's apparently a tackling monster. Could be a special teams addition.
On another note, the Jets are absolutely desperate for cornerbacks. If we have a decent one at risk of not making the 53 man roster, it could be worth reaching out to them for a trade.
Christian Wade (RB) - This former English rugby player made a splash in the Bills first pre-season game, taking a 65-yard run to the house.
Tyrel Dodson (LB) - Another potential special teamer, this UDFA out of Texas A&M has an affinity for tackling.
Darryl Johnson (DE) - This 7th rounder out of North Carolina A&T appears poised to make the team this year, but there's a possibility he doesn't, and he appears to be similar to a Casanova McKinzey type.
Preston Williams (WR) - Projected by some as an early 4th rounder, Williams is a UDFA out of Colorado State who made a huge splash against the Falcons in the first pre-season game. He looks likely to make this talent-starved Dolphins team, but he's not a lock.
Myles Gaskin (RB) - This 7th round pick out of Washington has shown some promise in the preseason and could potentially be someone to keep an eye on.
Overall, the Dolphins are so bereft of talent across the board, it's unlikely that many (any?) players with any talent fail to make the roster.
Next up: AFC South
Are there any players on this list that you think the Redskins should keep an eye on?
Gunner Olszewski (WR)
Jakobi Meyers (WR)
Byron Cowart (DT)
Greg Dortch (WR)
Frankie Luvu (LB)
Chrsitian Wade (RB)
Tyrel Dodson (LB)
Darryl Johnson (DE)
Preston Williams (WR)
Myles Gaskin (RB)


The College is pleased to announce that a number of academic staff were successful in the 2012 promotions round.
Promotions took effect from 1 August 2012.
The design of 'bespoke' Imperial branded envelopes available from Office Depot will be changing slightly as stocks are refreshed. This is because Royal Mail is changing the way they frank our mail. On the new envelopes, the Imperial logo will appear in the bottom left-hand corner of the envelope on all sizes, except on DL window envelopes, on which it will appear to the right of the window. Please use up any old stock envelopes as the new franking style does not take effect until January 2013.
Please email the Graphic Identity team, if you have any queries.
Do you write about the College in your work?
Using agreed language when you're describing Imperial and its activities across the many platforms that we publish to – online, email, print, advertising, labelling, etc., – is a professional and effective way of communicating. The latest update to the Imperial College London house style includes current disabilities terminology, so that you can make absolutely sure you are saying the right thing. See the latest version online or download a PDF.
A-level results are behind us, September has arrived and our plans for Start of Session are kicking up a notch! For the past few years, we have had Welcome volunteers strategically positioned around the College to provide new students with directions, information and most of all a friendly face. This has proved to be a great success in helping new students settle in so we plan to repeat it again this year.
Each year we rely on a significant volunteer effort to ensure that start of session is a happy experience for everyone – we need staff to support students and their families, answer their questions, and usher students in and out of the Welcome talks and activities.
This is a tremendously important (and fun!) series of days for Imperial. A briefing session will be held on Friday 28 September, from 11:00-12:00, to provide volunteers with all the information they need. If you or any of your team can help out at any point on the 29, 30 September or 1 October (for a minimum of 4 hours) please email Ellie Fielding before Wednesday 19 September.
The College's Code of Practice on the fair and transparent selection of staff for submission to REF2014 is now awaiting approval by HEFCE. All higher education institutions making submissions to REF2014 are required to have and implement such a Code. Its purpose is to govern the decision-making processes about which staff to submit. It outlines who will make these decisions, the criteria that may be used, and describes how decisions will be communicated to staff. Other important components include the appeals process and the procedures to ensure that the College's approach is consistent and inclusive and complies with current equalities legislation.
The Code was informed by consultation with key College staff and developed with the benefit of input from representatives from established forums such as the University and College Union (UCU), the Equality and Diversity Committee, Staff Advisory Groups, the Academic Opportunities Committee, HR, Faculty Principals and REF Leads. A draft of the Code was published internally on the College's REF website inviting comment from all staff. The final version of the Code was approved for submission to HEFCE by the REF Steering Group.

Colts Daily Headlines: July 23rd Edition
Posted by Kevin Bowen on July 23, 2013 – 8:51 am
The news keeps on pouring in around the Colts and today's headlines indicates just that. Philip B. Wilson of the Indy Star takes a look at some of the position battles and the city of Anderson. The Indianapolis Business Journal has an in-depth look at the city's 2018 Super Bowl bid. Lastly, Reggie Hayes of the Fort Wayne News Sentinel was out at Chandler Harnish's football camp and spoke with the second-year quarterback.
Each morning Colts.com will take a look at the top headlines surrounding the Indianapolis Colts from around the globe. What is the local and national media saying about the Colts?
Take a look below at the top pieces from Tuesday, July 23rd.
5 position battles to watch entering Indianapolis Colts training camp
By: Phillip B. Wilson, Indy Star
Wilson takes a look at some of the more important position battles with training camp less than a week away.
The battles that have Wilson's interest includes running back, the No. 2 wide receiver spot, right guard, nose tackle and inside linebacker.
City close to launch of 2018 Super Bowl Bid
By: Anthony Schoettle, Indianapolis Business Journal
The competition will be stiff but frankly no one should expect anything different when it comes to bidding for Super Bowls.
Allison Melangton, CEO of the city's 2012 Super Bowl Host Committee and leader of the 2018 Super Bowl Bid Committee, is promising to come up with another attention-grabber to deliver the bid early next May—if the city proceeds with a bid as expected.
"We have to do our due diligence and that's what we're doing right now," Melangton said. "We're carefully doing our homework. And if there are no red flags between now and August, it is our intent to bid. Making an informed decision is a big part of my job."
Melangton is confident in Indianapolis' pitch and doesn't have to look very far back to have physical proof of the city's ability to host a Super Bowl.
"At this point, I don't see any red flags," Melangton said, adding that Indianapolis still has enough hotels—downtown and otherwise—to meet bid specifications and Lucas Oil Stadium "has consistently been rated as one of the top venues in the NFL."
And, Melangton emphasized, Indianapolis has the 2012 Super Bowl to reference.
"I would think we'd have an advantage this time because we've proved ourselves," Melangton said. "Last time, there were so many questions about our ability to host the event."
Everything you need to know to attending Colts camp in Anderson
Wilson takes a look at the other side of training camp with an in-depth focus on the city of Anderson over the next three weeks.
"This is an amazing time of year for the community of Anderson, for Anderson University to be the home for Indianapolis Colts training camp," said Chris Williams, AU director of communications and community relations. "We're thrilled to be able to do it again for a fourth consecutive year. Signs are going up, bleachers are being dusted off and preparations are being finalized."
Wilson's blog helps fans with the schedule, parking, finding campus and other important things to know before attending this year's training camp.
Colts' Harnish spreads influence at Norwell camp
By: Reggie Hayes, News-Sentinel
Chandler Harnish will head to his second NFL training camp later this week but he is currently helping out his community back in Ossian, Ind.
Harnish has been a great ambassador and role model for kids growing up in the Fort Wayne area.
"I've told this to a lot of people, but I feel the Lord put me in position, with a platform to spread my influence, and this is one of those tools," Harnish said. "I want to do whatever I can do to make these kids better people and better players and get them ready for the future. And have some fun. That's the No.1 rule of this camp, to have fun."
"This is something I hope goes over really well and can get the kids excited for and have a great time," Harnish said. "When I was their age, I would have jumped out of my shoes to come out here with college players and an NFL guy and have fun and learn and compete and just walk away with a good taste in your mouth about Norwell football."

Sharper Image provides a host of electronic gadgets that are perfect for Christmas gifts. Nearly everyone can find an appropriate Christmas gift for someone in their life if they look for Sharper Image gifts – even if they find a gift that no one even knew that they wanted! Here are 5 Sharper Image gifts that you can buy for less than $300.
If you need to use the Rowenta IS-8100 to steam garments, then you will appreciate the sturdy aluminum pole. This hanger pole, which extends up to five feet high, is designed to provide support while you steam the garment. The pole on the Rowenta IS-8100 can also swivel so that you can easily steam the front and back of the garment.
Stocking Stuffer #96 – Prepaid Long Distance Calling Cards. For cell phone addicts who in case they rundown their battery and don't carry a spare phone.
This model, the J-200, is the one I bought a few years ago. Jiffy offers many other models that are more expensive that are equally good. I personally don't think that spending more money gets you a better clothes steamer. This is one of their earlier models, and I can't imagine how they could possibly improve on this one in the later models. As far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect steamer.
Irons have a tendency to burn if applied a moment too long. Clothes steamers are safe to use on almost any type of fabric or material. There are a few materials that will be an exception to the rule and it will be marked on the care instructions of the garment you purchased.
When you have a cat or dog you know how difficult it is to remove hair, stains or fleas from furniture, beds, and carpets. Luckily this steamer can do all three far more effectively than a vacuum alone. This steamer is one of the best choices you can make for a healthy home.
Help your loved ones purify the air in their homes using this Sharper Image Ionic Breeze 3.0 Air Purifier. For right around $150, your loved ones can have cleaner air in their personal space. The purifier works in the home, in an office, and even in a college dorm room to help eliminate airborne allergens and illnesses and to keep the air breathable and as healthy as possible. Look for it here.
There are many online stores that sell the Jiffy steamers and some do have great deals. Take advantage or others who have already done the search on pricing and see what they have to say. This is a great product that is well worth the investment, but why not save some money when making the purchase.


The DOM specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-Core-20030226/DOM3-Core.html#core-ID-412266927) says that "The internal subset as a string, or null if there is none. This is does not contain the delimiting square brackets."
However, PHP returns the entire tag, not only what is inside the square brackets.

"A social and psychic revolution of almost inconceivable magnitude": Popular Culture's Interrupted Accelerationist Dreams
We live in a moment of profound cultural deceleration. The first two decades of the current century have so far been marked by an extraordinary sense of inertia, repetition, and retrospection, uncannily in keeping with the prophetic analyses of postmodern culture that Fredric Jameson began to develop in the 1980s. Tune the radio to the station playing the most contemporary music, and you will not encounter anything that you couldn't have heard in the 1990s. Jameson's claim that postmodernism was the cultural logic of late capitalism now stands as an ominous portent of the (non)future of capitalist cultural production: both politically and aesthetically, it seems that we can now only expect more of the same, forever.
At least for the moment, it seems that the financial crisis of 2008 has strengthened the power of capital. The austerity programs implemented with such rapidity in the wake of the financial crisis have seen an intensification—rather than a disappearance or dilution—of neoliberalism. The crisis may have deprived neoliberalism of its legitimacy, but that has only served to show that, in the lack of any effective counterforce, capitalist power can now proceed without the need for legitimacy: neoliberal ideas are like the litany of a religion whose social power has outlived the believers' capacity for faith. Neoliberalism is dead, but it carries on. The outbursts of militancy in 2011 have done little to disrupt the widespread sense that the only changes will be for the worse.

As a way into what might be at stake in the concept of aesthetic accelerationism, it might be worth contrasting the dominant mood of our times with the affective tone of an earlier period. In her 1979 essay "The Family: Love It or Leave It," the late music and cultural critic Ellen Willis noted that the counterculture's desire to replace the family with a system of collective child-rearing would have entailed "a social and psychic revolution of almost inconceivable magnitude."1 It's very difficult, in our deflated times, to re-create the counterculture's confidence that such a "social and psychic revolution" could not only happen, but was already in the process of unfolding. Like many of her generation, Willis's life was shaped by first being swept up by these hopes, then seeing them gradually wither as the forces of reaction regained control of history. There's probably no better account of the Sixties counterculture's retreat from Promethean ambition into self-destruction, resignation, and pragmatism than Willis's collection of essays Beginning To See The Light. The Sixties counterculture might now have been reduced to a series of "iconic"—overfamiliar, endlessly circulated, dehistoricized—aesthetic relics, stripped of political content, but Willis's work stands as a painful reminder of leftist failure. As Willis makes clear in her introduction to Beginning To See The Light, she frequently found herself at odds with what she experienced as the authoritarianism and statism of mainstream socialism. While the music she listened to spoke of freedom, socialism seemed to be about centralization and state control. The story of how the counterculture was co-opted by the neoliberal Right is now a familiar one, but the other side of this narrative is the Left's incapacity to transform itself in the face of the new forms of desire to which the counterculture gave voice.
The idea that the "Sixties led to neoliberalism" is complicated by the emphasis on the challenge to the family. For it then becomes clear that the Right did not absorb countercultural currents and energies without remainder. The conversion of countercultural rebellion into consumer capitalist pleasures necessarily misses the counterculture's ambition to do away with the institutions of bourgeois society: an ambition which, from the perspective of the new "realism" that the Right has successfully imposed, looks naive and hopeless.
The counterculture's politics were anticapitalist, Willis argues, but this did not entail a straightforward rejection of everything produced in the capitalist field. Certainly, pleasure and individualism were important to what Willis characterizes as her "quarrel with the left,"2 yet the desire to do away with the family could not be construed in these terms alone; it was inevitably also a matter of new and unprecedented forms of collective (but non-statist) organization. Willis's "polemic against standard leftist notions about advanced capitalism" rejected as at best only half-true the ideas "that the consumer economy makes us slave to commodities, that the function of the mass media is to manipulate our fantasies, so we will equate fulfilment with buying the system's commodities."3 Popular culture—and music culture in particular—was a terrain of struggle rather than a dominion of capital. The relationship between aesthetic forms and politics was unstable and inchoate—culture didn't just "express" already existing political positions, it also anticipated a politics-to-come (which was also, too often, a politics that never actually arrived).

Music culture's role as one of the engines of cultural acceleration from the late '50s through to 2000 had to do with its capacity to synthesize diverse cultural energies, tropes, and forms, as much as any specific feature of music itself. From the late '50s onward, music culture became the zone where drugs, new technologies, (science) fictions, and social movements could combine to produce dreamings—suggestive glimmers of worlds radically different from the actually existing social order. (The rise of the Right's "realism" entailed not only the destruction of particular kinds of dreaming, but the very suppression of the dreaming function of popular culture itself.) For a moment, a space of autonomy opened up, right in the heart of commercial music, for musicians to explore and experiment. In this period, popular music culture was defined by a tension between the (usually) incompatible desires and imperatives of artists, audiences, and capital. Commodification was not the point at which this tension would always and inevitably be resolved in favour of capital; rather, commodities could themselves be the means by which rebellious currents could propagate: "The mass media helped to spread rebellion, and the system obligingly marketed products that encouraged it, for the simple reason that there was money to be made from rebels who were also consumers. On one level the sixties revolt was an impressive illustration of Lenin's remark that the capitalist will sell you the rope to hang him with." 4 This now looks rather quaintly optimistic, since, as we all know, it wasn't the capitalist who ended up hanged. The marketing of rebellion became more about the triumph of marketing than of rebellion. The neoliberal Right's coup consisted in individualizing the desires that the counterculture had opened up, then laying claim to the new libidinal terrain. The rise of the new Right was premised on the repudiation of the idea that life, work, and reproduction could be collectively transformed—now, capital would be the only agent of transformation. But the retreat of any serious challenge to the family is a reminder that the mood of reaction that has grown since the 1980s was not only about the restoration of some narrowly defined economic power: it was also about the return—at the level of ideology, if not necessarily of empirical fact—of social and cultural institutions that it had seemed possible to eliminate in the 1960s.
In her 1979 essay, Willis insists that the return of familialism was central to the rise of the new Right, which was just about to be confirmed in grand style with the election of Ronald Reagan in the US and Margaret Thatcher in the UK. "If there is one cultural trend that has defined the seventies," Willis wrote, "it is the aggressive resurgence of family chauvinism."5 For Willis, perhaps the most disturbing signs of this new conservatism was the embrace of the family by elements of the Left,6 a trend reinforced by the tendency for former adherents of the counterculture (including herself) to (re)turn to the family out of mixture of exhaustion and defeatism. "I've fought, I've paid my dues, I'm tired of being marginal. I want in!"7 Impatience—the desire for a sudden, total, and irrevocable change, for the end of the family within a generation—gave way to a bitter resignation when that (inevitably) failed to happen.

Here we can turn to the vexed question of accelerationism. I want to situate accelerationism not as some heretical form of Marxism, but as an attempt to converge with, intensify, and politicize the most challenging and exploratory dimensions of popular culture. Willis's desire for "a social and psychic revolution of almost inconceivable magnitude" and her "quarrel with the left" over desire and freedom can provide a different way into thinking what is at stake in this much misunderstood concept. A certain, perhaps now dominant, take on accelerationism has it that the position amounts to a cheerleading for the intensification of any capitalist process whatsoever, particularly the "worst," in the hope that this will bring the system to a point of terminal crisis. (One example of this would be the idea that voting for Reagan and Thatcher in the '80s was the most effective revolutionary strategy, since their policies would supposedly lead to insurrection). This formulation, however, is question-begging in that it assumes what accelerationism rejects—the idea that everything produced "under" capitalism fully belongs to capitalism. By contrast, accelerationism maintains that there are desires and processes which capitalism gives rise to and feeds upon, but which it cannot contain; and it is the acceleration of these processes that will push capitalism beyond its limits. Accelerationism is also the conviction that the world desired by the Left is post-capitalist—that there is no possibility of a return to a pre-capitalist world and that there is no serious desire to return to such a world, even if we could.
The accelerationist gambit depends on a certain understanding of capitalism, best articulated by Deleuze and Guattari in Anti-Oedipus (a text which, not coincidentally, emerged in the wake of the counterculture). In Anti-Oedipus's famous formulation, capitalism is defined by its tendency to decode/deterritorialize at the same time as it recodes/reterritorializes. On the one hand, capitalism dismantles all existing social and cultural structures, norms, and models of the sacred; on the other, it revives any number of apparently atavistic formations (tribal identities, religions, dynastic power …):
The social axiomatic of modern societies is caught between two poles, and is constantly oscillating from one pole to the other … [T]hese societies are caught between the Urstaat that they would like to resuscitate as an overcoding and reterritorializing unity, and the unfettered flows that carry them toward an absolute threshold. They recode with all their might, with world-wide dictatorship, local dictators, and an all-powerful police, while decoding—or allowing the decoding of—the fluent quantities of their capital and their populations. They are torn in two directions: archaism and futurism, neoarchaism and ex-futurism, paranoia and schizophrenia.8
This description uncannily captures the way that capitalist culture has developed since the 1970s, with amoral neoliberal deregulation pursuing a project to desacralize and commodify without limits, supplemented by an explicitly moralizing neoconservatism which seeks to revive and shore up older traditions and institutions. On the level of propositional content, these futurisms and neoarchaisms contradict one another, but so what?
The death of a social machine has never been heralded by a disharmony or a dysfunction; on the contrary, social machines make a habit of feeding on the contradictions they give rise to, on the crises they provoke, on the anxieties they engender, and on the infernal operations they regenerate. Capitalism has learned this, and has ceased doubting itself, while even socialists have abandoned belief in the possibility of capitalism's natural death by attrition. No one has ever died from contradictions.9
If capitalism is defined as the tension between deterritorialization and reterritorialization, then it follows that one way (perhaps the only way) of surpassing capitalism would be to remove the reterritorializing shock absorbers. Hence the notorious passage in Anti-Oedipus, which might serve as the epigraph for accelerationism:
So what is the solution? Which is the revolutionary path? … But which is the revolutionary path? Is there one?—To withdraw from the world market, as Samir Amin advises Third World countries to do, in a curious revival of the fascist "economic solution"? Or might it be to go in the opposite direction? To go still further, that is, in the movement of the market, of decoding and deterritorialization? For perhaps the flows are not yet de territorialized enough, not decoded enough, from the viewpoint of a theory and a practice of a highly schizophrenic character. Not to withdraw from the process, but to go further, to "accelerate the process," as Nietzsche put it: in this matter, the truth is that we haven't seen anything yet.10
The passage is teasingly enigmatic—what do Deleuze and Guattari mean by associating "the movement of the market" with "decoding and deterritorialization"? Unfortunately, they do not elaborate, which has made it is easy for orthodox Marxists to situate this passage as a classic example of how '68 led to neoliberal hegemony—one more left-wing capitulation to the logic of the new Right. This reading has been facilitated by the take-up of this passage in the 1990s for explicitly anti-Marxist ends by Nick Land.11 But what if we read this section of Anti-Oedipus not as a recanting of Marxism, but as a new model for what Marxism could be? Is it possible that what Deleuze and Guattari were outlining here was the kind of politics that Ellen Willis was calling for: a politics that was hostile to capital, but alive to desire; a politics that rejected all forms of the old world in favor of a "new earth"; a politics, that is, which demanded "a social and psychic revolution of almost inconceivable magnitude"?
One point of convergence between Willis and Deleuze and Guattari was their shared belief that the family was at the heart of the politics of reaction. For Deleuze and Guattari, it is perhaps the family, more than any other institution, that is the principal agency of capitalist reterritorialization: the family as a transcendental structure ("mummy-daddy-me") provisionally secures identity amidst and against capital's deliquescent tendencies, its propensity to melt down all preexisting certainties. It's for just this reason, no doubt, that some leftists reach for the family as an antidote to, and escape from, capitalist meltdown—but this is to miss the way that capitalism relies upon the reterritorializing function of the family.12
It's no accident that Margaret Thatcher's infamous claim that "there is no such thing as society, only individuals" had to be supplemented by "… and their families." It is also significant that in Deleuze and Guattari, just as in other anti-psychiatric theorists such as R. D. Laing and David Cooper, the attack on the family was twinned with an attack on dominant forms of psychiatry and psychotherapy. Deleuze and Guattari's critique of psychoanalysis is based on the way that it cuts off the individual from the wider social field, privatizing the origins of distress into the Oedipal "theatre" of family relations. They argue that psychoanalysis, rather than analyzing the way that capitalism performs this psychic privatization, merely repeats it. It's notable, too, that anti-psychiatric struggles have receded just as surely as have struggles over the family: in order for the new Right's reality system to be naturalized, it was necessary for these struggles, inextricable from the counterculture, to be not only defeated but effectively disappeared.
It's worth pausing here to reflect on how far the Left is from confidently advocating the kind of revolution for which Deleuze and Guattari and Ellen Willis had hoped. Wendy Brown's analysis of "left melancholy" at the end of the 1990s still painfully (and embarrassingly) captures the libidinal and ideological impasses in which the Left too often finds itself caught. Brown describes what is in effect an anti-acclerationist Left: a Left which, lacking any forward momentum or guiding vision of its own, is reduced to incompetently defending the relics of older compromise formations (social democracy, the New Deal) or deriving a tepid jouissance from its very failure to overcome capitalism. This is a Left which, very far from being on the side of the unimaginable and the unprecedented, takes refuge in the familiar and the traditional. "What emerges," Brown writes,
is a Left that operates without either a deep and radical critique of the status quo or a compelling alternative to the existing order of things. But perhaps even more troubling, it is a Left that has become more attached to its impossibility than to its potential fruitfulness, a Left that is most at home dwelling not in hopefulness but in its own marginality and failure, a Left that is thus caught in a structure of melancholic attachment to a certain strain of its own dead past, whose spirit is ghostly, whose structure of desire is backward looking and punishing.13
It was just this leftist tendency towards conservatism, retrenchment, and nostalgia that allowed Nick Land to bait the '90s Left with Anti-Oedipus, arguing that capital's "creative destruction" was far more revolutionary than anything the Left was now capable of projecting.

This persistent melancholy has no doubt contributed to the Left's failure to seize the initiative after the financial crisis of 2008. The crisis and its aftermath have so far vindicated Deleuze and Guattari's view that "social machines make a habit of feeding on … the crises they provoke." The continuing dominance of capital might have as much to with the failure of popular culture to generate new dreamings as it has to do with the inertial quality of official political positions and strategies. Where the leading edge popular culture of the twentieth century allowed all kinds of experimental rehearsals of what Hardt and Negri call the "monstrous, violent, and traumatic … revolutionary process of the abolition of identity,"14 the cultural resources for these kind of dismantlings of the self are now somewhat denuded. Michael Hardt has argued that "the positive content of communism, which corresponds to the abolition of private property, is the autonomous production of humanity—a new seeing, a new hearing, a new thinking, a new loving."15 The kind of reconstruction of subjectivity and of cognitive categories that post-capitalism will entail is an aesthetic project as much as something that can be delivered by any kind of parliamentary and statist agent alone. Hardt refers to Foucault's discussion of Marx's phrase "man produces man." The program that Foucault outlines in his gloss on this phrase is one that culture must recover if there is to be any hope of achieving the "social and psychic revolution of almost inconceivable magnitude" which popular culture once dreamt of:
The problem is not to recover our "lost" identity, to free our imprisoned nature, our deepest truth; but instead, the problem is to move towards something radically Other. The center, then, seems still to be found in Marx's phrase: man produces man … For me, what must be produced is not man identical to himself, exactly as nature would have designed him or according to his essence; on the contrary, we must produce something that doesn't yet exist and about which we cannot know how and what it will be.16

The left-wing temptation to oppose the family to capital is nicely circumvented by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's claim that the family, alongside the nation and the corporation, is a corrupted form of the commons. "For many people, in fact, the family is the principal if not exclusive site of collective social experience, cooperative labor arrangements, caring, and intimacy. It stands on the foundation of the common but at the same time corrupts it by imposing a series of hierarchies, restrictions, exclusions, and distortions."

Biografia
Tomaso  (Tomás) Malvenda ‹malbℎénda› o Maluenda, esegeta e storico critico spagnolo, entrò nell'Ordine dei Frati Predicatori Domenicani in gioventù.

All'età di trentacinque anni sembra aver già insegnato filosofia e teologia. Le sue critiche sugli Annales Ecclesiastici di Baronius, evidenziata in una lettera della corrispondenza all'autore (1600), dimostra la sua competenza e Baronio usa la sua influenza per convocare Malvenda a Roma. Qui era un consigliere del cardinale, mentre viene incaricato anche nella revisione del Breviario Domenicano, le annotazioni all'Index Expurgatorius di Brasichelli, e scrivere alcuni annali dell'ordine dei Domenicani, (Annalium sacri ordinis Praedicatorum centuria prima, 1627; la cui narrazione giungeva fino al 1246, che sono stati pubblicati contro la sua volontà e senza la sua revisione). A questo periodo appartengono anche il suo Antichristo libri XI (Roma, 1604), e De paradiso voluptatis (Roma, 1605).

Tornato in Spagna nel 1608, Malvenda di dedica a una nuova versione del Vecchio Testamento in latino, con i commentari. Con questo lavoro arriva fino a Ezechiele, XVI, 16, quando morì a Valencia nel 1628. Dà una versione in latino di ogni parola dell'originale, ma molte delle parole latine impiegate sono comprensibili solo attraverso parole equivalenti fornite a margine, ciò dovuto al suo volersi attenere alla traduzione letterale della parola ebraica. L'opera fu pubblicata postuma a Lione nel 1650 in 5 volumi come "Commentaria in S. Scripturam, una cum nova de verbo in verbum ex hebraeo translatione", ecc.

I was more looking for specific SUV with a third row and I stumbled on this dealership do to a posting on cars.com. the car was exactly what I was looking for and it was at a good price I didn't even have to negotiate it down as it was a good price that they were asking for this Expedition, it's condition and the the miles on the vehicle. My salesman was Michael Sullivan and the entire purchase went smoothly. I would recommend this dealership two other people if they have the car you're looking for on their lot or can find it for you at a good cost.
The reader, following the narrator's shifting attitude from admiration to surprise and finally to contempt, is led to believe that the author is bent on demonstrating the vast inferiority of the Erewhonians to his fellow Englishmen; but it gradually becomes clear that he attributes to Englishmen much of the irrationality and the ingenious equivocations that make the Erewhonians look foolish. The difference is only one of degree. The technique is close to that of Swiftian satire. In some places it is confused and inconsistent, but in other passages it is both clever and devastating, worthy of the master.
One highly influential interpretation of Utopia is that of intellectual historian Quentin Skinner.[9] He has argued that More was taking part in the Renaissance humanist debate over true nobility, and that he was writing to prove the perfect commonwealth could not occur with private property. Crucially, Skinner sees Raphael Hythlodaeus as embodying the Platonic view that philosophers should not get involved in politics, while the character of More embodies the more pragmatic Ciceronian view. Thus the society Raphael proposes is the ideal More would want. But without communism, which he saw no possibility of occurring, it was wiser to take a more pragmatic view.
"Voyage centres on a young psychiatrist (played by Ryo van Kooten) who leaves Hong Kong to embark on a long lone voyage from Hong Kong along the coast of South-East Asia to try to overcome the emotional turmoil he has experienced in his relationships with former clients. While travelling, he tries to come to terms with his experiences by making a detailed record of their stories, and decides to visit those places himself.
Pleasantville is a New Line Cinema utopian/dystopian movie from 1998 with Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, William H. Macy, Joan Allen, and Jeff Daniels. The main protagonist, two teenagers are transported into a black and white TV show called Pleasantville. As they are integrated with the people of Pleasantville community, they slowly brought some new values resulting with red rose growing in this black and white world.
Education is regarded as important and is continued to age 21 for all citizens. During their years of schooling, the pupils are introduced to many trades, professions, and arts in order to discover where their talents and interests lie, to enable them to choose the vocation that will bring them the greatest satisfaction in their adult years. At age 21, everyone enters the work force, "the industrial army," where he or she will serve up to the age of 45. Women and men are treated equally with respect to education, career in the work force, compensation. There is some distinction made regarding the occupations of men and women, and there are provisions for pregnancy.
The name Britannia was announced on 24 September 2013 and has historical importance for P&O, as there have been two previous ships named Britannia connected with the company. The first entered service in 1835 for the General Steam Navigation Company, which went on to become the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company. The second, which entered service in 1887, was one of four ships ordered by the company to mark the golden jubilee of both Queen Victoria and P&O itself.
The only ancient authors other than Plato who have been mentioned as possibly influencing or suggesting comparison with More are Lycurgus, Cicero, and St. Augustine. Lycurgus is reputed to have dictated a body of laws for ancient Sparta, the best account of which is found in Plutarch. It declared equal possession among the "citizens" — that is, the upper-class members of the community. The "helots," who were in the vast majority, were virtually on the level of slaves. Instead of gold and silver for coins, iron was used. All luxuries were banned, and both men and women were disciplined to endure hardships and were motivated to sacrifice everything for the welfare of the state.
The exploration of a South Sea utopian commonwealth is of limited scope because of the author's overriding preoccupation with the sexual relations of the natives, leaving almost entirely unexplained such concerns as governmental organization, legal system, distribution of labor, and methods of warfare. Regarding the economy, we are simply told that there is no private property.
Dr. Derek Alderman is a cultural and historical geographer interested in public memory, popular culture and heritage tourism in the U.S. South. Much of his work focuses on the rights of African Americans to claim the power to commemorate the past and shape cultural landscapes as part of a broader goal of social and spatial justice. His work spans many aspects of the southern landscape, including Civil Rights memorials, slavery and plantation heritage tourism sites, NASCAR, Graceland and Memphis, Mayberry and film tourism, and the cultural geography of kudzu.
The first discussions with Raphael allow him to discuss some of the modern ills affecting Europe such as the tendency of kings to start wars and the subsequent loss of money on fruitless endeavours. He also criticises the use of execution to punish theft, saying thieves might as well murder whom they rob, to remove witnesses, if the punishment is going to be the same. He lays most of the problems of theft on the practice of enclosure—the enclosing of common land—and the subsequent poverty and starvation of people who are denied access to land because of sheep farming.
Unlike many games, where different songs have different themes for each character or area, Wintory chose to base all of the pieces on one theme which stood for the player and their journey, with cello solos especially representing the player. Wintory describes the music as "like a big cello concerto where you are the soloist and all the rest of the instruments represent the world around you", though he describes it as not necessarily orchestral due to the inclusion of electronic aspects.[28][31] The cello begins the game as "immersed in a sea of electronic sound", before first emerging on its own and then merging into a full orchestra, mirroring the player's journey to the mountain.[32] While the game's art style is based on several different cultures, Wintory tried to remove any overt cultural influences from the music to make it "as universal and culture-less as possible".[28] Tina Guo features as the cellist for the soundtrack. She is a close friend of Wintory and has since performed "Woven Variations" with him, an eight-minute orchestral variation on the Journey soundtrack.[31] All of the non-electronic instruments in the soundtrack were recorded with a live orchestra.[29]


The water is cold and the fish are in their winter hiding places. The slower moving water and deeper pools are where most fish spend the winter months. There is not as much available food so the fish tend to hunker down a little. That said the fishing can still be pretty good this time of year. A lot of big fish are caught on the Truckee in the winter months. I had a pretty good day yesterday my client had two really nice Rainbows to the net and a couple of big white fish. The California side is going to have some access problems pretty soon due to snow pack so keep an eye on that. The Nevada side is usually a little safer bet this time of year mostly because it is a little warmer and access is not as much of an issue. Keep an eye on the flows they can start to yo-yo due to rain and run-off. The best winter flows are less than 400 CFS. Look for warmer days and fish in the afternoons for best results for sure. Down size your flies a little and cover every lane in the pool you are fishing. The fish will not move as much to eat this time of year so it is important to cover the water more methodically. Nymphing is going to be your best bet. Get your flies down to the bottom in the deeper slower runs. Try some sort of a Bead head fly in a size 12- 16 as the lead fly and a much smaller dropper like a Baetis or a Midge pattern in an 18 - 20.


This holiday season, as families gather around, instead of making small talk, or arguing over politics, how about using the time to share family stories? That's the suggestion of Robb Lucy, author of Legacies Aren't Just for Dead People.

Swift shared the stage with collaborators Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. Speaking about the performance in advance of Sunday's broadcast, Swift said, "This has been an adventure that the three of us have gone on since the very beginning of quarantine and lockdown, and we've only gotten to be together in the same room once. So this is really awesome to get to be together with them again."
The country superstar entered this year's ceremony with six Grammy nominations: Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for Folklore, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Cardigan," Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Exile" (featuring Bon Iver), and Best Song Written for Visual Media for "Beautiful Ghosts" from the Cats movie.
Swift has previously taken home 10 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for Fearless in 2009, Best Country Song for "Mean" in 2011 and Album of the Year for 1989 in 2015.
