The EE Robin Tablet is a new device in the everlasting trend of Tablets built specifically for kids of ages 0 – 7 with fantastic features for little hands and young minds.
The Robin Tablet at its core functionally identical to a standard issue tablet device which runs the Android OS however, you are able to set up two separate types of accounts – A parent and child account. The difference between these is quite profound, with the Parent account having a modern, sleek UI that is easy to navigate and has functionality at it's core. whereas, the child account has a game focused layout which allows easy access to your child's favourite apps through its selection of categories which divide the library of apps you can download through the Play Store into easy to digest areas as to not confuse young minds.
Furthermore, the EE Robin Tablet comes preloaded with a wide selection of games and apps such as subway surfer, Hello Kitty Cafe and many more for all ages and genders! Even Better, if you decide you do not like any of the pre-downloaded games you can easily delete them for more space on the pre-built 16GB SD card included with the Device!
Continuing, the EE Robin Tablet comes pre-built with one special app only accessible on the Parent account, known as Kurio GENIUS, which allows you to manage the access to features your child has on the tablet! For example, using this app you can filter what content can be restricted, such as anything above the child's watching age (eg: 0-7 years…), access to the google play store and google accounts in general, which hours the child is allowed to use it between and many more, such as a daily play time limit and app manager. This allows the parent to monitor what the child can and cannot do and keep the internet safe for the young minds who enter there.
Finally, I shall disclose the information on how to get this wonderful piece of Tech! There is currently one way to get this piece of machinery and that is to purchase a plan of a minimum 24 months from EE, specifically a 4GEE essentials, 4GEE, or Max plan, which each cost a different amount being £17, £19.50 or £22 a month with a £30.00 upfront charge, which includes 2GB of data, 10GB of data or 20GB of data respectively. As stated earlier, these plans last a minimum of 24 months, or 2 years to be precise and as such purchases should be done with conviction. Also of note, is that each of these comes with a free limited time membership to the service known as Hopster (or as I call it, Netflix for Kids), which contains a ridiculous number of the most popular shows for children at the moment such as Bob the Builder, 64 Zoo Lane and Thomas and Friends. The 4GEE Essentials plan comes with 3 months of this service with a continued subscription fee of £3.99 a month and the 4GEE and Max plan each come with a whopping 24-month membership included (same end of membership costs apply)! Do make sure, however, to cancel the membership before the end date as if you have a credit or debit card already saved onto the device, it may automatically pay for another month at the end of it's time.

Connecting with the community and saying thank you for the support is a major part of Graham Nickisson's role with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. What started out as a volunteer gig with the service at 17 years of age, turned into to 36 years with a service Graham is very passionate about. On October 20, 2018, Graham worked as a crewman on his last flight before transitioning into the community liaison role for Northern NSW, covering the aircrafts that service out of Newcastle, Tamworth and Lismore. Now he works directly with members of the community via the local support groups to share his stories and say thank you for financially supporting this vital service. 'No one has ever had to pay to be assisted by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service,' is not only a slogan for the service, but a motto Graham lives by, and he understands first hand how much of a difference the helicopters make when it comes to time sensitive injuries. "We are a link in a chain," he explained. "We service when it's time critical. We can get the person to a hospital quicker." Graham is very open about the good, bad and the ugliness of what he has seen over the years and admits the trauma finally caught up with him in the end. On the good hand, he remembers when Gary Walker asked to have his terminally ill wife transported to their son's police graduation. It was January 30, 2007 and it was her dying wish to be there. "Westpac flew her down and she passed away that evening after returning home," Graham recalled. On the other hand, it was after attending a very bad accident involving a fatality 11 years later, on January 30, 2018, that Graham says a switch was flicked. So he went to human resources and was offered the community liaison officer position. "Best thing I ever did. Now I get to talk about what a wonderful service it is." Part of his role includes supporting the 37 volunteer support groups in his area by attending functions and talking about his experiences and helping with fundraising events. "Volunteers are the heart of the service," he said. "We would not survive if it wasn't for the generosity of the community." He refers to the support group volunteers as the 'red shirts' and says he has the upmost respect for what they do. "The amount of money they raise is sensational." Hence why it's so important for him to say thank you, but also to acknowledge all the "unsung heroes" behind the scenes, the men and women who work around the clock to keep the helicopters in working order.

A month after my daughter's wedding, we're still having trouble finding things.
Shortly after my daughter and her new husband left town, I asked my wife where the phone book was.
"I think the boys threw it out," she said.
I also couldn't find the spray bottle that I use to do my ironing.
A couple of days before the wedding, our two sons tore the house apart in their zeal to make things presentable.
Benj doesn't feel guilty that we can't find anything. "I didn't throw anything away that actually gets used," Benj said recently.
What about the phone book?
"I can't imagine it's that difficult to find another phone book," he said.
My wife and I both know how ruthless our sons are about cleaning.
Before the wedding, I threatened to forget about cleaning and leave my collection of valuables untouched. "If you don't, then I'll leave it for Bryan," my wife said. That got me going.
After the boys went home, I told Bryan that I went out to the landfill to retrieve the items that Benj took there. Sadly, Bryan actually believed me.
Kenna was especially upset that the boys threw out two of the old wooden rocking chairs she collects. Benj said as long as he could remember, one of the chairs was missing an arm.
The experience was traumatic for Kenna.
"I thought I was living through an episode of 'Hoarders,' " she said this week.
Kenna wants to point out that she paid two girls to clean the house before the boys arrived. So you can see how exacting their standards are.
I admit that I'm the main cause of the mess. I believe that nothing good comes from cleaning.
I have to admit, though, that neatness has its benefits. While cleaning, I found a book I'd been looking for for 10 years.
The bride, Brenna, said this week that she stayed above the fray.
She tried not to get annoyed either "by the mess or by the OCD fastidious," she said, referring to her brothers' obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Brenna says her oldest brother is "visibly distressed" at the sight of clutter.
The tension over the cleaning created lots of stress. Fortunately, the bride remained calm throughout.
"I made it my personal mission to not be a bridezilla that weekend," Brenna said.
Because it was her wedding weekend, Brenna felt she didn't need to clean.
She found "a lot of reasons to run to Wal-Mart rather than helping out." She made those trips under the pretense of buying cleaning supplies.
She also found solace in expensive coffee drinks. "I did get pretty well acquainted with Starbucks at Target," she said.
In a moment of reflection, Kenna said that at least the boys' cleaning was a good start on really getting the house in shape.
Start? I thought it was the ending.

Die Staatsschule für Gartenbau Stuttgart-Hohenheim (abgek. SfG) ist eine nicht rechtsfähige Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts und untersteht dem Ministerium für Ernährung, Ländlichen Raum und Verbraucherschutz Baden-Württemberg. Die SfG gliedert sich in den Fachbereich "Bildung und Information" und in den Fachbereich "Gartenbauliches Versuchswesen" mit Versuchsbetrieb. Der Bildungsbereich und die Verwaltung sind im Schloss Hohenheim untergebracht. Der angeschlossene Versuchsbetrieb befindet sich in der Filderhauptstraße 169–171.

Es ist die älteste Gartenbauschule in Deutschland. Sie ist eine Weiterbildungsstätte für die Fachrichtungen Garten- und Landschaftsbau, Baumschule, Friedhofsgärtnerei, Gemüsebau, Staudengärtnerei und Zierpflanzenbau sowie Floristik. Im Versuchsbetrieb werden praxisorientierte Forschungsarbeiten zu den Themenfeldern Gemüsebau, Stauden- und Ziergehölzsichtung, Rasen und Zierpflanzen sowie fachrichtungsübergreifende Versuche durchgeführt.

Geschichte
Die Geschichte der Institution wird anhand der Amtsdauer der Institutsleiter bzw. Schulleiter dargestellt.

Herzog Carl Eugen von Württemberg 1780–1793

1780 gründete Herzog Carl Eugen von Württemberg die Gartenbauschule in Hohenheim. Aufgenommen wurden 12- bis 14-jährige Jungen. Zur praktischen Schulung dienten, die Nutz- und Ziergartenanlagen in Hohenheim. Die fachliche Betreuung hatte Hofrat Johann Simon Kerner, der 1780 vom Herzog zum Naturwissenschaftslehrer ernannt wurde. Nach dem Tode von Herzog Carl Eugen im Jahre 1793 wurde es still um die Gartenbauschule.

1818: Wilhelm I. gründete eine landwirtschaftliche Unterrichts-, Versuchs- und Musteranstalt in Hohenheim, die heutige Universität Hohenheim.

1842: Wilhelm I. installierte laut königlicher Verordnung vom 28. Mai 1842 eine königliche Gartenbauschule in Hohenheim. Die Oberleitung der königlichen Gartenbauschule lag bis 1975 beim Landwirtschaftlichen Institut, der heutigen Universität Hohenheim. Zur Betreuung der zum Landwirtschaftlichen Institut gehörenden Anlagen gab es damals zwei "Institutsgärtner" für die Obstbauanlagen, für den Botanischen Garten und für die Versuchsflächen.

Eduard Lucas 1843–1860

Eduard Lucas trat als Institutsgärtner bei der landwirtschaftlichen Lehranstalt Hohenheim an. Zu seinen Aufgaben gehörten die Besorgung der großen Obstbaumschule auf der Domäne des ökonomischen-botanischen Gartens und des Samenmagazins des Botanischen Gartens und des Versuchsfeldes. Dazu gehörten auch die Unterweisungen der höheren Lehranstalt in Obstbauzucht sowie die Unterrichtungen der Schüler im Gartenbau. 1859 bat er um seine Dienstentlassung, welche 1860 erfolgte.

Martin A. Konzelmann und Wilhelm Schüle 1860–1891

Die Centralstelle wählte Martin August Konzelmann zum neuen Institutsgärtner. Der bisherige zweite Gärtner, Wilhelm Schüle, der bereits seit 1842 in Hohenheim tätig war, sollte sich nun auch am Unterricht beteiligen und bekam den Titel eines "Institutsgärtners" in Hohenheim. 1866 trat Konzelmann als Schulleiter zurück.

Philipp Held 1891–1906

Durch den Institutsleiter Otto von Vossler wurde 1891 der 35-jährige Philipp Held zum neuen Leiter der Gartenbauschule berufen. 1893 wurde Franz Schweinbez zum zweiten Lehrer und Institutsgärtner befördert und Held zur Seite gestellt. Held und Schweinbez intensivierten den Unterricht mit den Fächern Weinbau und Weinbereitung sowie gärtnerische Betriebslehre mit Buchführung und Ertragsberechnung. Der Zierpflanzenbau wurde wieder aufgenommen und die Botanik auf Übungen im Mikroskopieren ausgedehnt. Kurz nach einer Instruktionsreise starb Philipp Held 1906.

Franz Schönberg 1906–1929

Zum Nachfolger wurde der bisherige zweite Institutsgärtner Franz Schweinbez (Namensänderung ab 1907 in Schönberg) ernannt und erhielt den Titel eines "Garteninspektors". Die Stelle eines zweiten Anstaltsgärtners und zweiten Lehrers erhielt Hans Koch.

1910 wurde in der Obstabteilung der Mustergarten angelegt. 1911 wurde ein Gemüsetreibhaus errichtet. 1912 bekam die Gartenbauschule neues Gelände für einen Stauden- und einen Gehölzgarten wofür das Pflanzenmaterial von den Gärtnern des Landes gestiftet wurde. 1913 wurde ein großes Doppel-Kulturhaus für Zierpflanzen gebaut.

1914–1918 Während des Ersten Weltkrieges konnte der Unterricht an der Gartenbauschule unter der Leitung von Gartenbauinspektor Schönberg aufrechterhalten werden. Es wurden vorwiegend Gärtnerinnen ausgebildet.

1919 begannen die regelmäßigen Kurse in voller Besetzung wieder. Da die Lehrkräfte nicht ausreichten, stellten sich vorübergehend einige Hochschulprofessoren für den naturwissenschaftliche Unterricht zur Verfügung.

1920 wurde der Gartenbauschule die Exotische Baumschule übertragen, die noch bis 1918 der königlichen Bau- und Gartendirektion unterstanden hatte.

1922 bekam die Landwirtschaftliche Hochschule eine neue Senatsverfassung mit einem für zwei Jahre gewählten Rektor. Von dieser Zeit war der Direktor des Instituts für Wirtschaftslehre gleichzeitig Oberleiter der Gartenbauschule. Münzinger, der Direktor für Wirtschaftslehre, hatte dieses Amt rund 27 Jahre inne.

1925: Mit einer neuen Satzung wurde der Namen der "königlichen Gartenbauschule" in "Staatliche Württembergische Gartenbauschule in Hohenheim" umbenannt. Ebenso hörte der gemeinsame Unterricht von Gartenbau- und Ackerbauschule in den Grundfächern auf. Beide Schulen wurden unabhängig voneinander.

Heinrich Wehrhahn 1929–1934

Nachdem Schönberg 1929 krankheitshalber beurlaubt werden musste, wurde ein Nachfolger gesucht. Gartenbaudirektor Heinrich Wehrhahn entsprach den Anforderungen und übernahm die Gartenbauschule. Wehrhahn war Dozent für Gartengestaltung und Staudenkunde an der höheren Lehranstalt in Proskau gewesen. 1930 wurde ein großes Gemüsegewächshaus mit 900 m² errichtet. 1934 verließ Landesökonomierat H. Wehrhahn Hohenheim.

Otto Sander 1934–1949

1934 kam Otto Sander als neuer Leiter, ein gebürtiger Schlesier, mit dem Titel Landesökonomierat nach Hohenheim. Die Zeit Sanders fiel in die nationalistische Epoche mit "Gleichschaltung" und "Ernährungsschlacht". Die Maßnahmen der "Ernährungsschlacht" wirkten sich auf den der Gartenbauschule angeschlossenen Betrieb nicht ungünstig aus. Es gelang ihm schon anfangs genügend Mittel für dringend benötigte Bodenverbesserung, für ausreichende Pflanzenschutzmittel und Maschinen zu bekommen. In den fünf Friedensjahren, in denen Sanders der Gartenbauschule vorstand, wurden die Abteilungen Gemüsebau, Zierpflanzenbau und Landschaftsgärtnerei stark ausgebaut.

1938–1948: Der Zweite Weltkrieg brachte sehr große Einschränkungen auf allen Gebieten mit sich. Vom Herbst 1943 an musste der Hauptkurs eingestellt werden.

1948: Nach 5-jähriger Pause konnte im März der erste Kurs wieder aufgenommen werden. Der Lehrkörper setzte sich aus den bisherigen Lehrern zusammen. Die Kursdauer wurde von Mitte März auf Mitte Dezember reduziert. Das Ziel, die Gartenbauschüler auf die Meisterprüfung vorzubereiten, trat in den Vordergrund.

Hermann Dieterich 1949–1952

1949 wurde Münzinger emeritiert. Die Oberleitung der Gartenbauschule ging nicht mehr an seinen Nachfolger auf den Lehrstuhl der Wirtschaftslehre über, da feststand, dass das Institut für Gartenbau und Gemüsebau gegründet werden sollte. In der Übergangszeit war Garteninspektor Hermann Dieterich kommissarischer Vorstand der Gartenbauschule.

Carl Friedrich Rudloff 1952–1955

Rudloff übernahm zunächst auch den Vorstand der Gartenbauschule, interimsmäßig lag die Oberleitung bei Martin Schmidt. Mit großer Energie setzte er durch, dass im Sommer 1953 der Gartenbauschule und dem Institut für Obstbau und Gemüse 12,3 ha des Schlag I der Karlshofrotation von der Gutswirtschaft überlassen wurden.

Helmut Heinrich 1955–1962

1955 rief Rudloff als neuen Vorstand der Gartenbauschule Diplomgärtner H. Heinrich nach Hohenheim.

1957 wurde die Satzung und der Lehrplan geändert ebenso der Namen der Schule angepasst in "Staatsschule für Gartenbau und Gartenbauwirtschaft". Im Februar 1962 verunglückte Heinrichs mit seiner Tochter tödlich. Sieben Wochen später starb unerwartet Rudloff.

Manfred Sturm 1963–1992

Im September 1963 ernannte das Kultusministerium Manfred Sturm zum neuen Schulleiter. Im Herbst 1965 konnte das neue Schulgebäude bezogen werden. Neben dem Meisterlehrgang wurde die erste Berufsaufbauklasse für Gärtner eröffnet. Die Aufsichtsbehörde war nicht das Kultusministerium BW, sondern das Oberschulamt Nordwürttemberg.

1968 wurde mit dem Aufbau des Staudengartens begonnen.

Seit September 1971 gibt es zwei weitere Bildungsgänge: 1. Eine Technikerklasse für Gartenbau (Fachrichtung Erwerbsgartenbau und Garten- und Landschaftsbau) und 2. eine zweijährige Fachschule für landwirtschaftlich-technische Assistenten. Ab August 1975 wurde die Berufsschule für gärtnerische Berufe an die Gartenbauschule angegliedert. Seit 1981 werden die Prüfung zum "Staatlich geprüften Wirtschafter für den Gartenbau" abgenommen. Ab Herbst 1983 wurde die Ausbildung der Floristen von Stuttgart nach Hohenheim verlegt. 1985 wurde der Name in Staatsschule für Gartenbau und Landwirtschaft abgeändert.

Rudolf Eichin 1992–2015

Zum 31. Juli 1992 trat der Schulleiter der Staatsschule Manfred Sturm in den Ruhestand. Sein Nachfolger wurde Oberstudienrat Rudolf Eichin.

Im Jahre 2000 wurde das 2-jährige Berufskolleg für Technische Assistenten in ein zweijähriges Berufskolleg für Agrar- und Umweltanalytik umgewandelt.

Michael Ernst seit 2015

Mit dem Schuljahresbeginn im September 2015 erfolgte die organisatorische Abtrennung der Landwirtschaftlichen Schule mit ihren Bildungsgängen in der Trägerschaft der Stadt Stuttgart. Michael Ernst übernahm zunächst kommissarisch die Leitung und wurde ab 2016 Direktor der Staatsschule für Gartenbau, Stuttgart-Hohenheim, die damit eine Namensänderung erfuhr und gleichzeitig die Rechtsstellung einer Landesanstalt im Geschäftsbereich des Ministeriums für Ernährung, Ländlichen Raum und Verbraucherschutz (MLR) erhielt. Der "Exotische Garten" verblieb bei der Universität Hohenheim. Der Staatsschule für Gartenbau wurden Flächen und Räumlichkeiten im Schloss Hohenheim und in der Versuchsstation (Filderhauptstraße 169–171) zur Nutzung direkt zugewiesen. Die Staatsschule für Gartenbau wurde entsprechend ihrer neuen Aufgaben als Landesanstalt mit Sach- und Personalmitteln ausgestattet.

Mit dem Schuljahr 2019/2020 wurde das Bildungsangebot der SfG durch die Floristenmeisterschule erweitert, die damit in die Trägerschaft des Landes überging.

Eine Machbarkeitsstudie des Universitätsbauamtes Stuttgart und Hohenheim hat ergeben, dass eine Unterbringung der SfG mit Bildungsbereich und Wohnheim im Versuchsbetrieb möglich ist. Ein konkreter Planungsauftrag für Ersatzneubauten der SfG war somit der nächste Schritt.

Der Name der Schule wurde nach den Veränderungen in Staatsschule für Gartenbau Stuttgart-Hohenheim angepasst.

In 2021 wurden durch die Stadt Stuttgart die baurechtlichen Voraussetzungen für einen Neubau der Staatsschule auf dem Gelände des Versuchsbetriebs geschaffen. Darüber hinaus ist geplant, die Landwirtschaftliche Schule Hohenheim am gleichen Standort neu zu errichten.

How would you respond to the person who says that it really doesn't matter whether or not Jesus rose from the dead?
I would disagree with this person. I would first ask him: what is the one major difference between Christianity and all other religions? It would be the fact that the founder of Christianity is a living person whereas the founders of all other religions are already dead in the graves. In John 14:6, Jesus says "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me". In other words, in Christianity, we are not just following a set of rules or laws or a prescribed path, but we are following a Living Person.
Hence, the question of whether Jesus really rose from the dead, not only matters tremendously but it is actually a pivotal point upon which whether Christianity would stand or collapse. As the 17th century philosopher John Locke said, "Our Savior's resurrection is truly of great importance in Christianity, so great that His being or not being the Messiah stands or falls with it."
Jesus similarly said that He would rise from the dead in Matthew 16:21, 17:9 and Luke 18:31-33. Therefore, Jesus Himself would be a liar if He actually did not rise from the dead. He would not be worth following.
The evidence that Jesus conquered sins is that He rose from the dead. If He did not, then the above claim would not be fulfilled.
If Jesus Himself did not rise from the dead, what hope do we have to overcome death as claimed in these verses?
This second death can only be overcome by those who are in Him, those who have a part in the first resurrection. Therefore, if the resurrection of Jesus is not true, we would not be able to overcome this second death.

Review of Jodi Dean's Crowds and Party
On Collectives, Communicative Capitalism, and Suspension of the Individual Ego
Luke Mergner
Co-founder of Contrivers' Review and host of Unproductive Labor
In the years after the financial crisis of 2008, protesters took to the streets, pundits demanded reform, and politicians promised action. In the United States, the dark heart of neoliberal financial capital was finally confronted by the broken promises of its economy: income inequality, wealth gaps, untaxed financial income, and the vast disparity between the one percent and the rest of the country. It was a moment when it seemed that the system could not go on as it had.
Nowhere was this sense more palatable than in Zucotti Park, where the #OccupyWallStreet protesters set up camp. It was a moment when, especially for the Left, the world paused as if the railroad switch of history might suddenly direct the country on a new, more equitable track.
Six years later, even the meager gains from the Obama administration are likely to be reversed, perhaps setting the progressive agenda back decades.[1] For the Left, there is a sense that an opportunity was missed; a crisis wasted. Though published before the election, it is this sense of failure that animates political theorist Jodi Dean's latest book, Crowds and Party.
The book continues a project that took shape in 2009 with the publication of a collection titled Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies. In those essays, Dean built on her earlier analysis of "communicative capitalism," moving away from the critique of deliberative democracy and the work of Jürgen Habermas, now aligning the concept with the growing critique of neoliberalism and emphasizing how speech acts are commodified and co-opted by capitalism. Crowds and Party also builds on a second persistent theme in Dean's work: she is the most prominent American academic defending and developing the work of Slavoj Žižek.[2] Like Žižek, Dean evinces a suspicion of identity politics, believing it to be a tool through which neoliberalism distracts workers from asserting their economic rights. Her previous book, Communist Horizons, engages Žižek and other European thinkers like Bruno Bosteels and Alain Badiou in their attempt to rehabilitate the theory of communism.[3]
It was not theory, but practice that prompted Crowds and Party, however. Dean judges Occupy, in which she participated, and other global protest movements to have failed. The book begins with a story about Occupy protesters talking themselves out of an action in the call-and-repeat form that became so iconic: "Everyone is an autonomous individual," the crowd echoes.
This is a seminal moment for Dean, all the more powerful for experiencing it directly. Occupy's failure resonates with her critique of communicative capitalism; as she argues in Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies, the Left now speaks in the language of conservatism, fetishizing individuality at the expense of solidarity and political success.[4] In this sense, Dean's newest book pulls on a loose thread from her last: How should the Left organize political movements to avoid the traps of neoliberal subjectivity?
Dean's central themes are announced in the title: crowds and party. The former represent spontaneous group events, though pinning down a specific definition is harder than it should be.[5] Crowds are "an effect of collectivity, the influence — whether conscious, affective, or unconscious — of others."[6] Unsurprisingly, she avoids using the derogatory term "mob" (and the literature on mobs). Dean wants us to celebrate the power and potential of crowds. In a typical passage eschewing causality, she writes, "[d]e-individualization accompanies intense belonging."[7] She seems to exhort us: Look at how crowds let us transcend our individuality and difference. Look at how crowds demonstrate a collective will — not general or universal, but neither is it the mere aggregation of interests offered by liberal democracy. If Dean romanticizes the crowd throughout the book, it is not unlike the concert-goer who subsumes herself within the solidarity of the audience created by the shared experience of music.[8]
The romantic moment of the crowd demonstrates to participants (and to Dean, the spectator[9]) the limits of the bourgeois subject, enframed by individuality.[10] She engages with continental philosophy's obsession with subjectivity to dethrone the individual from it's privileged place. It is crucial for Dean to show that the individual is not the political atom,[11] but a contingent, historical project driven by capitalism. This argument is not controversial after Foucault, but her contention that no ontological priority should be given to individual subjects over collective ones is radical. She does not suggest that the consensus expected of individuals is directly analogous to the collective. Nor, surprisingly, does she deconstruct the idea of coherent interests at the individual level, leveraging psychoanalysis against homo-economicus. Nevertheless, Dean wants to argue that intelligible interests can be attributed to collectives, a move that allows her to replace the "individuals" of democratic theory with "collectives." It's crucial to her argument that crowds cannot fulfill this potential without transforming into a party.
Crowds are a valuable and functional form of political expression, but they have weaknesses according to Dean. Using Occupy as her example, she argues that crowds cannot survive long enough to create real political change. This is the lesson she learns from Occupy: "everyone is an autonomous individual" under communicative capitalism. But, her argument requires crowds, as collectives, to be have certain virtues as well as vices. It's a fine line and she doesn't walk it well. It is no surprise, then, that it is the idea of the party that sheds the vices, and builds on the virtues, of the crowd.
As with "crowd," what Dean means by "party" is hard to grasp. Though she is associated with Slavoj Žižek (the author of a contrarian defense of Lenin, Revolution at the Gates) the concept of party in Crowds and Party is neither that of classical Marxist-Leninism nor that of modern political science. Then again, maybe it is. The confusion arises partly because Dean avoids concrete historical examples (to avoid discussions of Stalinism) and partly because what Dean ascribes to the party organization is not typically listed among its virtues. It is not an intellectual vanguard, the leadership, or even a specific organizational structure that Dean ultimately values. Where she talks about "substitutionism,"[12] it is not because she is a Leninist here, but because she is worried that the reader is predisposed to dismiss the idea of a Party entirely. Instead, the party form, like the crowd, provides a mechanism for the individual to find meaning and reinterpret their identity.
But the symbolic dimension of the party, its form as a place from which communists assess themselves and their actions, is what matters.[13]
The Communist Party provided an affective infrastructure through which everyday experiences took meaning separate from those channeled through capitalism.[14]
This concern with meaning and belief follows from Dean's analysis of communicative capitalism, which co-opts and redeploys the languages of individuality and identity. Just as neoliberalism imposes individuality on us, Dean argues that it circumscribes the narratives we can tell about ourselves: we are always consumers, after all. All counter-narratives are co-opted and redirected by communicative capitalism.[15] Under such conditions, the revolutionary act is not to seize the state, but to create an autobiography unsullied by neoliberalism. The Party, like the crowd, breaks the neoliberal self into the collective, and reorients our perspective away from individualism. It is only as a member of a crowd that the individual can break the deep subjectification of the "society of control" and rediscover their autonomy. Paradoxically, then, Dean's argument is that it is only by losing one's individuality that we rediscover it.
An "affective infrastructure" drives her description of the party and the romanticism that colors it. It is the ability to subsume individuals into a collective that links the crowd and the party.
This focus on a solidarity that reframes our subjectivity is both a strength and weakness of Dean's account. It is a strength insofar as it neatly addresses the problem of ideology: how will workers encased in ideology recognize their true interests? This, at least, was how the question was framed during the Second International period. Today, after Foucault, we've come to recognize that the subjectification process is both deep and pervasive. Any would-be revolutionary must address how individuals can confront and overcome the problem of ideology at the level of subject-formation. To her credit, Dean has an answer: participation in a collective event suspends the subject's interpellation as an individual.
Dean makes clear from her discussion that this participation is a deep suspension of the individual ego to the collective. She recounts a story of a pregnant party member who is torn between her obligations as a mother and as a Communist. She "chafes" at the political quietude and isolation imposed by motherhood. Notably, in a section containing a rare historical example, Dean does not go on to describe the support and help provided by a Party willing to pitch in and help with childcare — a Party that cares about the mental health of its members. Rather, Dean writes,
All the multitudinous activities of living that seem so necessary from the perspective of capitalism fall to the wayside from the perspective of the Party.[16]
Even if hard-won, however, Dean's rejection of modern identity at times borders on nihilism. "One was somebody," she notes, "because one mattered to the collective."[17] It is the perspective of the Party, then, and not that of the individual, that acts like a categorical imperative. It is a moral law, freely accepted and deeply felt.
Each feels the inner force of their collective strength as a command or duty. This duty is the collective desire impressing itself in the individual comrade.[18]
The [correct, i.e., Party,] perspective is like a law, the law enabling communist desire, setting it apart from the capitalist world by holding up and uniting the experiences of the oppressed.[19]
All of this romanticism might be more palatable if Dean engaged more broadly in alternative perspectives. She engages no contemporary authors save for a few, predictable European, thinkers.[20] Her argument is difficult to disentangle from Lacanian psychoanalysis, meaning that if one is skeptical of efforts to apply psychological insights to macro-social events then Dean has little to say. And of political science, Dean is entirely neglectful. It's perfectly fine to suggest that we speak a neutered, apolitical discourse, but the literature on democracy, representation, and political parties is directly relevant to Dean's subject and citing it would benefit her scholarship.
The most interesting omission is the literature on mobs and atomized society. In the years following the revelations of the Holocaust, intellectuals and scholars struggled to understand the appeal of totalitarianism, a rubric that elided socialism and fascism. Among these writers were Eric Hoffer and Hannah Arendt. Their basic premise was that a society atomized by capitalism was easily reconstituted into a reactionary mob by a charismatic leader. Dean's emphasis of the subsumption of self into the collective is eerily reminiscent of Hoffer, Arendt, and even Ernst Junger's front mentality.[21] Put aside "the leader" for a moment. Here we have two descriptions of a collective event, each providing their members with meaning and discursive resources — an affective infrastructure. For anti-totalitarians, this loss of individuality was the sine qua non of the overt acts of evil perpetrated by Fascism. For Dean, the loss of individuality is a prelude to new forms of resistance to capitalism and collective organization. There is a striking incongruity here.
Jodi Dean is not a fascist, nor is her book. But I'm concerned that she doesn't address the voluminous literature on masses and mobs, instead relying on Lacan to carry most of the epistemological water. Moreover, Dean's politics reject the entire spectrum of identity politics that have driven the resurgence of Leftist politics in the last year, such as Occupy and #BlackLivesMatter. She would leave political activists without a theoretical vocabulary necessary to engage with and understand Trump supporters. When Dean writes, "attachment to identity is pathological," this should concern us.[22] The history of actually existing communism is littered with the recantations of true believers and fellow travelers. If the god of communism failed, Dean wants her reincarnated. This seems far more troublesome than Leninism.

[3] This project occurred first as a conference and was later published as a book, The Idea of Communism (Verso, 2010).
[4] Dean writes, "The era of communicative capitalism is the era of commanded individuality" (Crowds and Parties, 31).
[5] Dean provides several enigmatic definitions of her core concepts throughout the book. In the sense that Lacan represents her epistemological ground, the most elemental definition, still far from easy to understand, is: "The crowd rupture is the Real that incites political subjectification." Later, she writes simply, "The crowd is the Real."

[8] And having been broken out of the reverie, she now seeks to make the moment last, whether by inscribing music on discs or by institutionalizing the crowd into a party.
[9] Dean's immersion in the crowd is broken when they assert their autonomy in chant. She is transformed from a participant into a spectator and judge at that moment. Perhaps it is she, not the crowd, that lacks solidarity?
[10] To make this point, Dean neatly reverses the Althusserian dictum: now, the subject is interpollated as an individual (Dean Crowds and Parties, 70-3).
[11] If I can borrow a metaphor from physics to replace the language of subjectivity which is deeply entwined in Dean's argument.
[12] "Substitutionism" is a term attributed to Leon Trotsky, however Rosa Luxembourg predates him. Others like A.J. Polan have written modern versions. In summary, "substitutionism" claims that Leninism replaces the working class with the Party, and inevitably the Party is replaced by the Leader. Stalinism is a direct consequence of Leninism.

5 thoughts on "Review of Jodi Dean's Crowds and Party"
Jared Rodríguez says:
Can you please restore the very thoughtful and thorough response/comment made by Jodi Dean? I read it about a half an hour ago and it appears to have been deleted or hidden. I think it sets the stage for a very productive conversation.
Jodi Dean says:
My first long comment vanished. That's weird. It's also weird that the author of the review gets the title of the book wrong.
Jeffrey C. Goldfarb says:
I had the post open on my computer and therefore was able to recover the comment. Our technical team will explore why this happened. It may have been a glitch or some kind of hack.
Thank you, Jeffrey
For some reason Jodi Deans' comment disappeared. I don't know why this happened. It was either a glitch with our platform (we are working to upgrade) or a hack Thankfully I have it here. JG
Jodi Dean:
"Hi Luke, thanks for the thoughtful review. My 2009 book is called Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies.
you know, definitions are not always useful since most of our concepts
have histories. The concept of the crowd that I use comes primarily from
LeBon (a temporary collective being) and is expanded via Canetti
(especially with respect to the egalitarian discharge). Crowds don't
have to be spontaneous; they can be organized and produced. I talk about
mobs on pp. 7-8, and refer briefly to some of that literature. As I
note, the 19th century opens up the discussion of whether a crowd is a
mob or the people. This is a political question, a matter of struggle
and debate. This struggle is always necessarily situated — what is
opened up, what is possible? Some commentators always mistrust the
people, always render the crowd as a mob. Others find possibility.
don't deconstruct the idea of individual interests because I am more
interested in rejecting the individual form altogether. You write: "Dean
wants to argue that intelligible interests can be attributed to
collectives" — that description doesn't ring true to me since I don't
use the language of interests. Instead, with respect to the crowd I use
Canetti to speak of the discharge as the moment of equality that gives
the crowd its substance.
You say I don't give concrete historical
examples of the party — but chapter 3 discusses Lenin's account of the
party and chapter 5 talks about experiences of members of the British
and US communist parties.
Where you really misunderstand (or
misrepresent) what I'm doing is when you say that "the party form, like
the crowd, provides a mechanism for the individual to find meaning and
reinterpret their identity." This isn't accurate because the first two
chapters of the book dismantle the individual form. Even the quote from
me that you use to support your point doesn't work because in the quoted
passage I refer to communists in the plural. My point involves the way
that the Party is a site of collective belonging that works back on the
collectivity. There is no rediscovery of individuality — the long
section on Kristin Ross should make that clear. At any rate, my point is
not that "its the ability to subsume individuals into a collective"
that links crowd and party; it's that the party is the form that
organizes fidelity to the egalitarian discharge of the crowd. By
organizing this fidelity, it can hold open the gap opened up by the
disruptive crowd event (and of course not all crowd events are
disruptive).
Also, notice: it is not just participation in a crowd
event that disrupts the interpellation of the subject as an individual.
Rather (as chapter 1 argues), it is already the case that commanded
individualism is over-burdening the fragile individual form. The
extremes of contemporary capitalism are too much for individuals to bear
(as I explain via the account of the changes in the individual form).
So there are material reasons for the dissolution of this form today
that should be understood not as pathologies (ala Turkle) but as
indications of real contradictions.
I'm not sure what's at stake
in your claim that I engage few contemporary authors other than
predictably European ones. I'm tempted to think that you read in a
different archive and I didn't refer to the people you like to read.
But, the first chapter talks about a number of contemporary
sociologists, I talk about Sherry Turkle, Kristin Ross, Judith Butler,
John Holloway, Hardt and Negri, Eugene Holland and, yes, Althusser,
Dolar, Zizek, Badiou.
You say I don't mention political science or
any of the literature on parties – -there is an extensive discussion of
Michels and notes to political scientists' commentary on Michels. You
have a general dismissal that says looking at the literature on
representation, democracy, and parties would benefit my scholarship. But
you don't say how or in what way in would change my argument. It's
interesting to note that by misstating the title of my 2009 book,
Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies, you actually omit reference to
a book where I do engage work in democratic theory. Again, I'm left
thinking that basically you are just signaling that your archive is
different from mine.
You mention that I reject identity politics.
You don't mention my argument — which is that identity today is fully
saturated. It can't ground a politics. The claim for or attribution of
an identity tells us nothing about a person's — or a group's —
politics. (I'll add here that my first book was Solidarity of Strangers:
feminism after identity politics, 1996). I emphasize as well that "the
wide array of politicized issues and identities enables a communism
that, more fully than ever before, can take the side of the oppressed,
indeed, that can make the multiple struggles of the oppressed into a
side."
It seems to me that you have one criticism: Dean rejects individuality. Yes, I do.
then you end with an anti-communist gesture — one that you link to
recantations part of the history of anti-communism. But of course that
does not sum or capture communism or anti-communism, so it strikes me as
an odd kind of ideological signal."

2019-20 UCSC General Catalog > Academic Units > Humanities Division > Critical Race and Ethnic Studies > Graduate Program > Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Designated Emphasis
Graduate students from other departments may obtain a designated emphasis in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) by completing the following requirements in addition to the requirements for the doctorate in their home department:
Committee Composition and Departmental Approvals
The student must have a designated graduate adviser from the CRES program principal or affiliated faculty. The student must meet with this CRES adviser to develop a coherent plan for meeting the requirements for the designated emphasis, preferably before the end of the student's first year. This plan must be approved by the CRES program director.
A member of the CRES principal or affiliate faculty (usually the CRES graduate adviser) must serve on the student's qualifying examination committee and on the student's dissertation committee.
The student must take four relevant graduate seminars taught by CRES program faculty. One relevant graduate seminar taught by non-program faculty may be counted with the approval of the CRES adviser. The adviser may also approve the substitution of an individual or group independent study addressing a set of readings or focused on research and writing for one of the four required graduate courses. The specific courses used must reflect a coherent plan of study that embodies both breadth and focus.
Current academic year courses recommended for the designated emphasis (DE) are listed on the CRES website, but eligible courses are not limited to this list.
Writing, Research and/or Teaching Requirements
The student must prepare a significant piece of scholarly writing in the area of CRES. This writing may take the form of a substantial seminar paper, a master's essay, or a portion of the doctoral dissertation. The student's CRES adviser will determine whether a particular piece of writing meets this requirement.
Students pursuing the designated emphasis are encouraged to serve as a teaching assistant for at least one CRES core or elective course. CRES faculty are encouraged to appoint CRES designated emphasis students as teaching assistants when possible and appropriate.
Proposing and Obtaining the Designated Emphasis
Once a plan for meeting the requirements is agreed upon, the student should complete the CRES DE application, obtain the CRES adviser's and program director's signatures, and submit the application to the CRES administrative office. The request for the designated emphasis must originate in the degree-granting department.
Once the requirements have been met, the student submits relevant documentation to the CRES administrative office for final approval by the CRES director. At a minimum, the student should submit copies of the qualifying examination and/or Dissertation Committee Nomination forms and a note from the adviser confirming that the writing sample and proposed courses have been completed. If the proposed courses have changed, an explanation of the changes should be included.
The CRES administrative office will notify the student and the home department of approval for the designated emphasis.


I get my energy from playing. When I get to be unencumbered and playful I have a ton of energy. Its not just me either. Each of us should be playing, regardless of our age. Indeed it is how we defy age, relieve stress and foster better relationships. You don't believe me? Listen in.

What's different about Weatherby's new rifle, cartridge?
6.5 WBY RPM tops 3k fps in sub-5-pound gun
Nov 25th, 2019 #hunting#biggame
Originally published in the Fall 2019 issue of The Guidefitter Journal
Guides and outfitters who tote a rifle all day, everyday, will appreciate the accuracy and energy of this light new rifle and new cartridge from Weatherby. The new Mark V Backcountry Ti is a sub 5-pound mountain bolt rifle with a suggested retail price of $3,349. It's made for hunters and guides who go deep into the backcountry or high into the mountains for sheep, goats or deer, and who want to shoot a magnum 6.5mm cartridge but still carry an extremely light rifle that is built form the floorplate up to mitigate recoil.
It has a number of new features, so let's start from pieces that are unique to Weatherby. The Ti in the name stands for titanium, an element as strong as steel but lighter. The receiver is made from titanium, and you know it'll be strong. Weatherby got its start in 1945 and is known to this day for creating the strongest receivers in the industry. It's how Roy Weatherby was able to create hyper-velocity magnum cartridges: he built the first Mark V receiver to handle the higher pressures. With a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $3,349, the Backcountry Ti will compete with Kimber's Mountain Ascent and Christiansen's Summit TI among a few other factory mountain rifles. The Ascent weighs 5 pounds, 12 ounces in a magnum short-action configuration like the .270 WSM, and costs about $2,000 msrp. The Summit is sub 6 pounds at $5,500 retail. The Mark V Ultra Lightweight had been Weatherby's offering in this mountain rifle category. It weighs roughly 6-7 pounds, depending on the caliber.
At the end of the stock, a new patent pending recoil pad is actually 3D-printed, a first among larger bolt-gun companies as far as we could tell. Weatherby was still working out the exact percentage of reduction in felt recoil when this was going to press. The pad, called the 3D Hex, has a hexagonal pattern specifically made to reduce muzzle lift.
The new Mark V Backcountry Ti weighs less than 5 pounds, thanks, in part, to its titanium receiver.
Speaking of the muzzle. You'll have a very light rifle shooting basically a magnum cartridge, so you'll want to use a muzzle break that pulls away some of that push-back and mitigates muzzle lift. Weatherby will top each Backcountry Ti and Backcountry rifle with a new brake — the Accubrake ST — that they say reduces recoil by 53 percent as compared to using the rifle without it. Both rifles come in 22-, 24- and 26-inch barrels. Sliding down back toward the receiver, Weatherby is equipping each rifle with a TriggerTech trigger. These mechanisms use a free-floating roller between the trigger bar and the sear, so the release is less of a gritty slip and more of a clean rolling break with very little over-travel. Several of the best custom rifle shops are using these types of triggers now. They can help a shooter improve accuracy and get that glass-rod break we all want. The trigger will be factory set to 2.5 pounds. You can adjust it to what suits you best between 2 and 5 pounds. The fluted bolt will have a 6-lug design, traditional to the Mark V .240 actions, and will have a nice 54-degree bolt throw. It will be chambered in a new cartridge — 6.5 WBY RPM.
A FAST, NEW 6.5
Weatherby started as a cartridge company so they recently put their minds together to develop a new 6.5mm cartridge for the Mark V, 6-lug action, also know as their standard action. This has always been an underutilized strong and light action but it is long and skinny and could not handle a magnum bolt face. This new cartridge is called the 6.5 WBY RPM. The WBY is for Weatherby, and the RPM stands for Rebated Precision Magnum which was purpose-made for the standard action. This hot-rod will be welcomed by anyone who wants the fastest velocities in a 6.5mm hunting bullet.
The "rebated" part of the name indicates that the back of the case is slightly smaller than the case body thus allowing a smaller bolt face instead of that large magnum bolt face. The "M" is magnum, and this is a fairly large cartridge. Standing next to a 6.5 Creedmoor, the PRM looks like a giant. The RPM will not be as fast as its big brother, the Weatherby 6.5-300, which can push a 127-grain bullet at more than 3,500 fps, but it's still super-fast. The RPM will send a Barnes 127-grain LRX at 3,225 fps, according to Weatherby tests. (This ammo is expected to cost about $60 or less on the shelf for a box of 20.) A PRC cartridge will send the same bullet at about 3,200 fps.
The latest 6.5mm offering in the industry is the 6.5 WBY RPM, or rebated precision magnum. Here, it's compared in size and speed to other 6.5mm cartridges using a 127-grain bullet.
Other initial offerings include Hornady's 140 Interlock, with 3,000 fps muzzle velocity and a $50 msrp, and Nosler's 140 Accubond, at 3,075 fps, and a $65 msrp. Another major departure from previous Weatherby products is a non-venturi case shoulder, and the bullet is non-belted. Until now, all Weatherby cartridges had a rounded shoulder as opposed to a straight shoulder as found in just about every other cartridge except Ackley Improved chamberings. Over the years, there's been debate about the function of the rounded shoulder, and whether it's more style than substance.
Regarding the belt, there's also debate about whether that's functional contain Roy Weatherby's aggressive pressures in his magnums, or it just came from a time when magnum straight cartridges needed something to hold them in battery so they wouldn't slip into the barrel.
Either way, they're gone from this cartridge, ad it's unclear whether all future Weatherby cartridges will follow suit.

Analysis: "Pete Waterman: 'I was exploited by Google'"
April 10, 2009 ~ Sebastien Provencher
"Pete Waterman: 'I was exploited by Google'" via The Telegraph.
The 62-year-old said the Rick Astley classic Never Gonna Give You Up, which he co-wrote and which was the subject of a YouTube craze last year, had earned him just £11 from Google, despite being viewed 154 million times.
What it means: the phenomenon mentioned above is "rickrolling". Even though the song had amazing exposure last year, its co-writer was paid only £11 ($US 16) for his work appearing in YouTube. Not sure Google made tons of money with it (they would have shared more with Waterman) but it certainly drove a lot of traffic to the site. I think Google is now experimenting with call-to-action overlays on YouTube music videos to convince consumers that are exposed to songs to buy them online. This might eventually benefit creators.

I think this phenomenon has deeper consequences than that…the border between "everything is free online"…and copyright protection or merely respect of the rights legitimely owned by creators to be paid for their creation has been crossed too easyly by You Tube and similar websites….similar issue, on a different scope, with citizens reacting to their neighborhood beeing shot and put online by the Google streetview crew…the pendulum is now moving to the other side…this seems to me as an irreversible trend worth being monitored closely…

@Jean-Pascal: I've been thinking about this specific content, music videos. I was a heavy consumer of music videos on MTV, MuchMusic and MusiquePlus when I was younger and I've always been under the impression that it was a promotional vehicle for artists/songs more than actual intellectual property. Almost like an ad for a song. And I think that thought process made sense up until we started watching individual videos with the arrival of the Internet. Atomization broke the promo model and it became content. But I think a lot of people still see music videos as promo and not content. So, there's a change in paradigm there as well!
