"The working class is either revolutionary or it is nothing." Karl Marx.
Adam Smith's "obvious and simple system of natural liberty" like Karl Marx's class struggle conception of history, relied on the semi-autonomous (some might say 'mechanical' or 'self-adjusting') action of an institution. In Smith's case it was the market. The individual "intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention." Say's Law presumably explained the mechanism by which individuals' production is transformed automatically into demand for the aggregate of what is produced.
Is the economic system 'self-adjusting', as the classical analysis suggested? Keynes clearly thought not.
On a second question, whether the required adjustments could be achieved through government policy, Keynes was more optimistic, although somewhat equivocal. He wrote, for example, a sarcastic allegory about people desiring the moon and having a central bank that produces green cheese, which it tells them is the same thing. He agreed with J. M. Clark's worries about the danger of a Keynesian 'school' growing up, which might indiscriminately apply a single policy formula "to conditions by no means parallel."
There is a deeper theoretical breach in the notion of simulating a self-adjusting economic system through government policy, though. The managed system can no longer be regarded as "obvious and simple" or as "natural." Thus the traditional rationale for the market system loses any legitimacy that it obtained from those claims. This argument deserves to be worked out in detail for Keynes and Keynesianism but a parallel instance was elaborated brilliantly for Marx and Marxism by Harold Rosenberg in "The Pathos of the Proletariat," published in the Autumn 1949 Kenyon Review.
To paraphrase Rosenberg's argument in terms of DeLong's rhetorical figure of making what is false in theory true in practice: "the Party's mission was to make Marx's theory of the proletariat as the revolutionary subject of history true in practice, even though it was (at least provisionally) false in theory."
For the sake of reading flow, I've taken the liberty of condensing key excerpts from Rosenberg's essay without indicating ellipses. The passages below represent around ten percent of the essay.
Excerpt from "The Pathos of the Proletariat," by Harold Rosenberg"
The hero of history was to be a social class, a special kind of collective person. The German Ideology describes a class in general terms. As distinguished from other unions, "there exists," says Marx, "a materialistic connection of men with one another." Yet, though it is the basic bond among men, the class is not a mere collection of human beings. "The class in its turn achieves an independent existence over against the individuals." Corporeal and combative, the class stands apart from them and impresses them into an adventure of its own.
History for Marx is the history of just such separated non-human entities. It is neither the history of individuals nor the history of ideas. Precisely because it is the history of the non-human classes must history be brought to an end. And for the same reason, only the class "character" can perform the act that will terminate it.
Upon closer consideration, however, we note that these "mere personifications" are not, as such, historical actors but metaphors of political economy. They represent what Marx calls in the same passage the "peculiar traits" of capitalist production. They are like those little figures that illustrate statistical charts. Dramatically, they belong to the order of types in melodrama or the morality play.
But it is the peculiarity of Marx's "political economy" that he sees this class [the proletariat] as destined to alter completely the conditions that created it.
Within the movement of capitalism Marx might predict the general direction of certain processes -- concentration of capital, accelerated crises, etc. -- but he cannot predict the total historical situation of the masses, which includes the history of their consciousness of themselves in their situation, or their lack of it. Yet nothing less than this total situation can be meant by "existence" in its determination of consciousness.
Marxism must therefore admit that it can predict nothing concerning the consciousness of the proletariat and hence of its action, in which case the proletariat remains an hypothesis and not a certainty; or it must reduce the situation to a given number of external elements, definable in advance, and thus become identical with what is known as "vulgar materialism" or "mechanical Marxism."
The failure of the situation to give rise to revolutionary consciousness leads Marx and Marxists to a second type of effort to guarantee the revolution: through politics and propaganda.
For Engels in 1893 the continuity of the revolutionary movement no longer depends upon the reflexes of a proletariat that has been forced into revolt; it is no longer subject to the intermittences of the heart and mind of the working class.
Instead of learning in action, the working class is put to school by the Party; it marches with its will in the secure custody of the leadership. Marching has indeed replaced revolutionary action, the movement which was to have been the source itself of the "alteration" of the workers.
Was Engels' conversion of Marx's drama of history from an order assumed to be inherent in events into a didactic fable of socialist politics a betrayal of the master's thought a decade after his death? In no respect. Marx, too, had attempted to overcome by political means the laggardness of existence in producing revolutionary consciousness.
But having translated class consciousness from tragic self recognition into political tutoring, Marxism is haunted by its philosophical premises. If its analysis is the consciousness of the socialist revolution, whose existence determines this consciousness? The class's? Or the Party's? Or is it undermined by both? So long as Marx could say, "The great social measure of the Commune was its own working existence," it was clear that theory was subordinate to the concrete action of the class and that communism was in truth attempting to be the intelligence of "the real movement that abolishes the present state of things." Once, however, class spontaneity has yielded to steady marching at the heels of the Party, the latter must look to itself as the source of historical consciousness, since it is it that experiences while the masses are undergoing the "long, persistent work" of learning. But if its own existence guides it, the Marxist Party is "an independent being" and its theory a mere ideology. In that case the high claims of socialism for the release of human individuals into unlimited creativity through the "self-activity" of the proletariat are no longer legitimate. Those hopes rested upon the origin of the collective act in history itself, in the reflex of the individuals of the class to their concrete situation, rather than, as formerly, in a separated community or ideal; but now socialism has produced its own illusory community and independently existing creation of the mind.
Thus in the heart of Marxism a conflict prevails between metaphysics (existence determines consciousness and defeats all preconceptions) and politics ("we can initiate measures"). The "dialectical" overcoming of this conflict through combining its messianism of total liberation with guidance of the masses as an "army" results logically in a politics of hallucination. In Marx's "we can initiate measures which will later appear as spontaneous movements" -- this sentence shows the actual content of the synthesis of spontaneity and control -- a new principle is making its appearance, though dimly. It is neither the materialist principle of the primacy of existence nor the idealist one that action has its source in thought. It suggests that action can release a revealed destiny which both dominates existence and precedes thought. With the affirmation of this power we stand at the verge of 20th Century political irrationalism.
Primarily, destiny-politics consists of a demonic displacement of the ego of the historical collectivity (class, nation, race) by the party of action, so that the party motivates the community and lays claim to identity with its fate and to its privileges as a creature of history. In What Is To Be Done, Lenin begins by denying that the proletariat can be an independent historical actor; for him it is a collective character with a role but without the revolutionary ego and consciousness necessary to play its part. Its struggles are but reflexes of economic contradictions which can never of themselves result in revolution. The giant figure of the proletariat is doomed to remain a personification of exploitation and misery until it is possessed by an alien subject that will send it hurtling along its predestined path. This conscious and active ego is the Bolshevik Party of "scientific" (destiny-knowing) professional revolutionaries. In the most literal sense the Party's relation to the class is demoniacal; after a series of paroxysms the collective body of the class is inhabited and violently moved by a separate will which is that of another group or even of one man. Lenin uses the word "subjectivity" to mean precisely the Party and its decisions.
Political Marxism demands for itself the metaphysical privileges of class action. The violence of the "vanguard," having become "dialectically" the act of the proletariat, justifies itself by the existence of the workers as victims of the wage system. Any attack upon that system by Marxist intellectuals and wielders of power becomes a liberating movement on the part of the class. Thus the Party need not account for the means it employs -- all the more so since its program is taken to be identical with the reality which is the ground of all future values. It even denies that the form of its organization is a "principled question" -- to be totally authoritarian does not prevent its being totally democratic, since its acts are the acts of the proletariat and the proletariat is, by definition, the demos.
As a liberating program Marxism founders on the subjectivity of the proletariat. So soon as it declares itself, rather than their common situation, to be the inspiration of men's revolutionary unity and ardor -- how else can it offer itself simultaneously to the French working class and to non-industrial French colonials? -- Marxism becomes an ideology competing with others. When fascism asserted the revolutionary working class to be an invention of Marxism, it was but echoing the Marxist parties themselves. If the class as actor is a physical extension of the Party, fascism was justified in claiming that a magical contest in creating mass-egos could decide which collectivities are to exist and dominate history. Moreover, it proved that heroic pantomime, symbolism, ritual, bribes, appeals to the past, could overwhelm Marxist class consciousness. What choice was there for the workers between the fascist costume drama and a socialism that urged them to regard their own working clothes as a costume? In Germany and Italy the working class was driven off the stage of history by the defeat of the Party -- in Russia it was driven off by its victory.
This may sound like a strange comment for a guy like me, who considers himself a Marxist, but this long series of Rosenberg's quotes points to a real problem -- one, I haste to add, I cannot solve in a satisfactory way: the role of spontaneity and the party within the revolutionary movement.
I suspect left-anarchists would be very pleased (no suggestion the blogger is one). Rosenberg addresses a weakness of Marxist thought (one left-anarchists have been stressing since forever, I must add), and will be quick to point out that Anarchism offers a way out.
(Incidentally, the reference to Lenin, one of Anarchism's bugbears, would probably make them even happier).
And maybe that's so -- I truly hope that.
But let's assume, for arguments' sake, that push comes to shove and we reach the point of revolution. And that in spite of all our hopes and efforts, the thing turns ugly and there's a revolutionary war.
Do we institute conscription or rely on volunteers?
Where are we going to get our weapons?
Which model of rifle should we adopt?
How do we organize logistics and supply, so that what one factory produces is useful to another and reaches the army and the population on time?
Should we launch an offensive here (with large expected casualties but better chance of success) or there (with lower casualties, but a lower chance of success)?
How are going to deal with that portion of the population reluctant to join the revolution?
Can democratic processes or spontaneity provide viable solutions to that kind of problems?


There once was a time when a 50-foot triple jump stood a good chance of winning a title. This year it could be that a 50-footer won't even earn a point. What could make that even more true in 2017 is the competitive equity as the No. 2 seed through the No. 7 seed are separated this spring by just seven inches.
Let's start at the top where the favorites are a proven trio. Cornell senior Bobby Plummer (Scarsdale, N.Y.) is the defending champ after leaping 52-5 1/2, but he is currently sitting at No. 8 for the spring. Harvard senior Efe Uwaifo (London, U.K.) — who has won three straight indoor crowns — has yet to unleash the kind of jump of which he is capable. Brown sophomore Jason Katz (Wyckoff, N.Y.) is the season leader, the only one who has stretched the tape to 51 feet this winter.
And yet the additional challenger list is long and impressive. There are seven other triple jumpers who have leapt at least 49-9 within the last year. Seven others? Yup, here's the list: Dartmouth sophomore Justin Donawa (Sandys, Bermuda), a member of the Bermuda national soccer team, and senior Corey Muggler (Holland, Pa.), Cornell senior John Enkler (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) and sophomore James Seaton (Coram, N.Y.), Brown senior Taylor Alarcon (Wilmette, Ill.), Princeton sophomore Stefan Amokwandoh (South Croydon, U.K.) and Columbia record holder Daniel Igbokwe (Chelmsford, U.K), just a freshman. This event should have your attention late Sunday afternoon.

Q: Function undefined/null even with eval() I need help and I do not understand what's going on.
I have a script get the list of files in a folder, and eval all the js files.
I inject some html, but when I use the html, it calls my function but it says a function (previously evaluated) isn't defined??
Edit: { Written in html, javascript, css, and vbs. In an HTA. }
I tried shifting the snippets around, but it still gives me the error. (and I cannot just copy and paste to the main file, its meant to be a plugin)
Code: (some not all)
var inject='
\

Console
\
\
<input type="text" id="consoleba" onkeydown="if(event.keyCode==13){ss(event);}">\

';
plugins.innerHTML+=inject;

this part works just fine, and the html is injected
function ss(event){
 var key=event.keycode;
 alert(key);
}

but it says this code isn't eval'd (or isn't defined)
and both snippets are in the same file that is eval'd.
Error:
Line: 1
Char: 23
Error: The value of the property 'ss' is null or undefined, not a function object
Code: 0
URL:

Here is the code that loads and evals each file:
var fso=new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

This works fine.
function loadPlugins(){
    var fs=new Enumerator(fso.GetFolder("./plugins/").Files);
    for(;!fs.atEnd();fs.moveNext()){
        var file=fso.OpenTextFile(fs.item(),1);
        eval(file.readAll());
        file.close();
    }
}

Seems to be working too.

A: The code is evaluated in the scope of the loadPlugins function, so the functions defined in the evaluated code only exist in that scope.
You can write the function as a function expression and assign it to a global variable to make it exist in the global scope:
ss = function(event){
 var key=event.keycode;
 alert(key);
};

Note: The ss variable is implicitly created in the global scope. If you use var ss it will be a local variable that only exists inside the function scope.

Enter Ellen. She had been teasing her coming out for months, so everyone knew about it and was anticipating it for a while. It was the topic of conversation everywhere. For me, I had been dealing with being gay quietly. I had visions of living my life in the shadows, which I had accepted as my fate, but Ellen was being so open about it. It was a little uncomfortable. She seemed to be sticking her toe in the water, testing it. And it was going well for her. Meanwhile, so many of us were watching her to see if it was okay. On March 17, 1997 I decided it was time to tell someone. My own coming out conversations were scary for me, and ultimately much darker than they would need to be. It felt like everything in my lie would be altered. At least there was someone for me to look to, someone to remind me that achieving my dreams would still be possible.
Ellen has said that she didn't set out to become an icon, that she didn't intend to have people look up to her. She was simply living her truth and letting the world see who she was fully. I think that attitude about the whole thing had just as much of an impact to me as her coming out did. Folks glomming on to her as a symbol of what they could be had to be something that factored in to her decision, but she didn't let that define the moment. Everyone should be living their own truth's. That doesn't mean everyone has to know that someone is gay. It's that person's choice. What Ellen did was give us a choice.
You would think that Ellen had given the world her best by coming out. It was historic, it was brave, and it was door-opening. She wasn't ready to settle into the shadows. She has now been inviting America to have a little fun everyday on her talk show. It's a genius premise, and so needed at times. Even more, it has invited America to see LGBT celebrities as normal people, as neighbors. She did it all by having a good time. That will be her real legacy. She put such a great amount of positivity into the world.

Who is Sasha Johnson? BLM activist critical after shooting had helped organise protests
Ross McGuinness

Black Lives Matter activist Sasha Johnson is in a critical condition in hospital after being shot in the head. (PA)
A Black Lives Matter activist is fighting for her life after being shot in the head.
Sasha Johnson, 27, is in a critical condition in hospital after the shooting in Peckham, south London, on Sunday morning.
She has been a prominent figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, which saw thousands of people take to the streets of the UK last summer following the death of George Floyd in the US.
Who is Sasha Johnson?

The 27-year-old mother-of-two has a first-class degree in social care from Oxford Brookes University. Her activity in the movement has included organising protests and addressing crowds.
In an interview with Sky News in August, at the height of Black Lives Matter protests across the UK, Ms Johnson said: "We've come too far for racism to still be a problem."
She said the UK needed to address the problem of racism and stop "disassociating" from it.
Watch: Sasha Johnson speaks out at protest in London
She is a member of the leadership committee of the Taking The Initiative Party (TTIP), which pledges to "provide a voice for the British people who want to change Britain for the better".
What is her background in activism?
Ms Johnson works in community support.
Her page on the TTIP website says: "She has an immense passion for implementing change and justice and has been actively supporting the eradication of injustices in society by attending and leading protests.
"Although not everyone may agree with her methods, she is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
"She is also committed to feeding the homeless and has personally been involved in delivering food and groceries to families that are in need."
The TTIP describes itself as a group of British businesspeople – some from working-class backgrounds – who feel politically homeless.
The party's website says: "We founded the Party to create meaningful politics that will inspire people to get out and vote.
"We believe that business has a positive part to play in community: through entrepreneurship, employment and empowerment."
What happened at the weekend?
The TTIP said Ms Johnson is in intensive care in hospital and in a critical condition after she sustained a gunshot wound to her head.
The party said the attack in Peckham on Sunday morning took place "following numerous death threats as a result of her activism".
Her friend Imarn Ayton told BBC News that Ms Johnson has successfully undergone surgery and her parents are with her in hospital.
She suggested Ms Johnson was not the intended target in the shooting.
Ms Ayton said: "As far as we are aware, she was at a party.
"There was a rival gang that may have heard about someone being in that party that they didn't feel quite comfortable with or trusted and so they resorted to driving past and shooting into the garden, and one of those shots obviously hit Sasha Johnson.
"But I don't believe she was the intended victim."
Police have appealed for witnesses to the shooting, although they would not confirm if it was the incident involving Ms Johnson.
The Metropolitan Police said the woman was in hospital with life-threatening injuries after being shot in the early hours of Sunday.
She was found after officers were called to reports of gunshots in Consort Road, Peckham, south London, shortly before 3am.
It is believed the shooting occurred in the vicinity of a house where a party was taking place and a number of people may have been in the area.
What have the police said?
The Metropolitan Police said that while the investigation is at an early stage, there is nothing to suggest it was a targeted attack or that the woman had received any credible threats against her before this incident.
Detectives from the Met's specialist crime command (Trident) are leading the investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Jimi Tele said: "This was a shocking incident that has left a young woman with very serious injuries. Our thoughts are with her family who are being provided with support at this terribly difficult time."

He said detectives are making "good progress" in hunting the attackers but they need help from the public.
It is "crucial" that anyone who saw anything suspicious in the Consort Road area in the early hours of Sunday or who has heard information since then get in touch.
Tele added: "This incident will have shocked those in the local community and further afield.
"I would ask people to avoid speculating as to the motive or the circumstances behind it."
What have her political party said?
In an Instagram post, the TTIP said: "Sasha has always been actively fighting for black people and the injustices that surround the black community, as well as being both a member of BLM and a member of Taking the Initiative Party's executive leadership committee.
"Sasha is also a mother-of-two and a strong, powerful voice for our people and our community.
"Let's all come together and pray for Sasha, pray for her recovery and show our support to her family and loved ones."

LONDON (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Boris Johnson denied on Tuesday an accusation by his former adviser that he had lied to parliament about a lockdown party, saying nobody had warned him the "bring your own booze" gathering might contravene COVID-19 rules. Senior ministers have said people needed to wait for the conclusion of her inquiry.

Samsung Galaxy Note8 became the first smartphone that received 100 points in the DxOMark fototeca
Less than two weeks from the time the iPhone 8 Plus scored in testing DxOMark impressive 94 points, taking the leading position in the ranking of the new camera, as the smartphone had to move on the throne.
The new smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note8 received the same total score in the course of the fresh test, however, if we consider separately the photos and video capabilities, we have a new best camera phone of all time.
When testing photography iPhone 8 Plus was estimated at 96 points, and Samsung Galaxy Note8 became the first smartphone that managed to score 100 points in ranking DxOMark. Experts praised dual-camera which works perfectly with with poor lighting in many different scenarios, in particular during a portrait pictures with blur background and zoom in, generating less noise than the iPhone 8 Plus. And Samsung Galaxy Note8 turned out to be excellent not only optical but digital zoom.
But when shooting video Samsung Galaxy Note8 scored 84 points against the 89 points the iPhone 8 Plus. That is, if you choose the best smartphone for the creation of Amateur videos, then in this case the leader is the flagship of Apple.
Perhaps very soon, Samsung Galaxy Note8 and the iPhone 8 Plus will have to skip ahead beginners in the face of a Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, which will be announced today. Last year, the original Google Pixel ahead of all flagships of 2016. Let's see how will reveal itself successors.
R. S. Editors DxOMark have already noted that 100 points in their test are not the limit. DxOMark scale has no upper bound.

PROCESS: Wash the potatoes, peel them, wash again, cut in half (large chunks) and boil for about 4-6 mins. Submerge in ice water that has a bit of citric acid sprinkled in the water (the cold water stops cooking action and the citric acid helps prevent browning of potatoes) Let the potatoes cool...pat dry and shred using a food processor - then lay out on dehydrating trays - dehydrate at 135-140 until dry (mine took about 5+ hours). Once completely dried, packed into jar/s - vac seal using a Foodsaver jar saver vac.
Yield: My 4-5 pound bag of Colorado Potatoes (Russets) made a quart jar full of shreds.
Cheat (easy) Method: defrost a bag of frozen hash-browns overnight and simply place on dehydrating trays to dehydrate - a great idea if you can find a great sale on the 6 pound bags.
Re-hydrate by pouring boiling water over potatoes and let sit 15 mins. then cook as usual/use in recipes.

AIM WA Leadership Insights Survey
A champion for change
by Jack McGinn
A fearless voice against the status quo through a career spanning politics, diplomacy and advocacy, Natasha Stott Despoja AM has been fighting since day dot.
Over more than two decades, Australian Parliament's youngest female politician turned tireless gender equity campaigner has made a habit of challenging the system and delivering results. Appointed a Senator at 26 in 1995 then elected in 1996, Ms Stott Despoja's political career of more than a decade spawned important policy and sparked progressive debate of huge significance. Leader of the Australian Democrats party in her early 30s, she was the Senator who introduced Australia's first paid parental leave legislation to the Parliament in 2002 and the nation's first same-sex marriage legislation alongside Senator Andrew Bartlett in 2005.
Work on technological issues such as genetic privacy, stem cell regulations and the space industry were also highlights – though maybe not as headline-grabbing. Having set such a trailblazing standard through her parliamentary career, it should come as no surprise that Ms Stott Despoja has continued to work tirelessly for theleaving the public glare of parliamentary service in 2008.
As Australia's Ambassador for Women and Girls between 2013 and 2016, she visited more than 30 countries in the name of advancing gender equality and promoting women's economic empowerment. Through this role she worked with partners in government, business and civil society to support the aspirations of women and girls around the world. Ms Stott Despoja is also a member of the World Bank Gender Advisory Council and currently sits on the UN High Level Working Group on the Health and Human Rights of Women, Children and Adolescents.
"No one country has achieved gender equality," she told Leader. "Despite enormous progress, the issues facing women and girls remain a great human rights challenge for our world."
2013 was also the year Ms Stott Despoja took up her role as founding chair at Our Watch, the Australian not-for-profit which aims to drive change in the culture, behaviours and power imbalances that lead to violence against women and their children. The role is considered by Ms Stott Despoja as one of the greatest privileges of her life. The epidemic of gender-based violence – home and abroad – is an issue close to the heart.
"One of the most heinous manifestations of gender inequality is the scourge of violence against women and girls," she said. "We know that globally, more than one in three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or abused in some way. "Every 10 minutes, somewhere in the world, an adolescent girl dies as the result of violence. "As the World Health Organisation has stated, it is an epidemic.
"Everywhere I have been, including in Australia, I have seen the effect of violence against women and children. I see the shame and the stigma. I see the injuries and after effects, both physical and emotional."
The statistics on domestic violence in Australia make for chilling reading and highlight the significance of the issues organisations such as Our Watch are tackling. A research project conducted in 2015 by Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety based on ABS figures estimated one in three women in Australia had experienced physical violence since the age of 15.
The 2017 National Homicide Monitoring Program report by the Australian Institute of Criminology found on average, one woman was murdered a week in Australia over a two-year period from 2012 to 2014. Meanwhile, the strength in uptake of paid domestic violence leave by WA public servants following the State Government's introduction of the scheme in August last year caught policymakers off-guard, and vindicated the need for such support in the workplace.
There are countless more anecdotal and statistical examples to draw on, but each point to a need for change and the importance of empowerment. Ms Stott Despoja said tackling genderbased violence was a challenge which required cultural and policy change, with Then Ambassador for Women and Girls Natasha Stott Despoja AM and Advisor Felicity Volk at the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta in 2014. Image: Joshua Estey/Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Our Watch's work centred on primary prevention.
"The research is clear – in order to address the violence, we need to tackle the attitudes and behaviour that give rise to violence in the first place," Ms Stott Despoja said. "The good news is that violence is not inevitable, it is preventable."
THE VALUE OF #METOO AND THE POWER OF LEADERSHIP
The cultural impact of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements hit globally in 2017, empowering many victims of sexual assault and violence to speak up and let their experiences be known. By sparking a conversation and helping people be heard, Ms Stott Despoja said there was promise in people finding their voice, but it was important such movements encouraged further action across the board.
"While these movements highlight the magnitude of the issue, they have also left many asking 'what's next?'," she said. "With greater public awareness and a groundswell of support to amplify the voices of women, we must use this global momentum to change lives for the better and disrupt the gender disparities that are tightly woven into our culture and value systems." Ms Stott Despoja said Our Watch's work showed a desire from the everyday Australian to do more. "Our research shows a majority of Australians want to be better 'bystanders'," she said.
"They want the tools and knowledge in order to intervene safely in situations where people are at risk, or where they see examples of inappropriate behaviour. "Businesses can assist through workplace giving, or by simply being alert to the experiences their employees may be going through."
The former Australian Democrats leader said she would speak on the importance of empowerment when addressing the upcoming AIM WA Leadership Summit in October. "I am passionate about people feeling empowered," she said. The research is clear - to address violence, we need to tackle the attitudes that give rise to violence.
"To me, empowerment is firstly to give someone the tools and information they need to form views on how to improve the world. It's then to listen closely to what that person has to say. My message is that your community needs you to be engaged in leadership and decision-making. I encourage you to seize every opportunity to seek information, to speak up and to be a leader – you have the power to change."
"Real and lasting improvements to our world, including creating greater opportunities for women and girls here and around the globe, require us all to be leaders – within our families, with our friends, in workplaces and in our communities."
BREAKING THE GLASS CEILING
The youngest woman to enter Australian Federal Parliament – a record which still stands – at a time when the Parliament comprised just 14 per cent women, Ms Stott Despoja believes her gender and relative youth challenged the political system and brought about lasting change. But the environment wasn't always as inclusive as the public who voted her into power.
"I look back and can't believe that, at my first business lunch, I was asked if I went into politics to meet a husband," she said. "Sometimes the sexist commentary was debilitating, but I am proud of the way I handled it and how my entry into Parliament hopefully created change and paved the way for many women of all ages and backgrounds to follow.
"I am proud to be the youngest woman to ever enter the Federal Parliament because I believe 'you can't be what you can't see' – the idea of challenging the stereotypes around what constitutes a politician was important."
At 32 per cent, women are still underrepresented in Australia's Parliament in 2018, but things have come a long way since the mid-1990s.
"At the time I was subject to ridiculous and sometimes amusing stereotypes by the media and other politicians," Ms Stott Despoja said. "However, the public was ready for change – they wanted fresh faces and to see our diversity and difference reflected and represented in our decision-making institutions."

Champion 1980 Bulldogs have waited long enough for the company
By Phyllis L. Chavez on	 January 9, 2022 Cartoon blog
The opponent this time – Alabama, led by a winning Heisman quarterback and a coach who rewrote the physics of victory the Einsteinian way – is a much tougher challenge than Notre Dame, the last opponent of this. season 80. These Irish had a quarterback named Blair Kiel, who was solid but was none of Bryce Young's.
And Herschel Walker doesn't come through that door, fans. At least not in the buffers.
Just because details can sometimes get lost in haze doesn't mean the 1980 ideal has vanished. As Jackson himself has said of what lies ahead for these dogs if they were to defeat Bama, "We have to go and make a statement so that we can be the next people people are going to talk about, Team 2021. "
What's there in the short term for Georgia is a title won on the recommendation of an overwhelming regular season and confirmed by beating the source of so many tears and shortfall, Alabama. On a larger scale, what is within the grasp of these Bulldogs is the opportunity to go for bronze as an Eternal Team, as the 1980 peloton did.
Faced with such possibilities, perhaps that is why those fortunate enough to make history dare not look beyond Monday night's hard work.

This is how he approaches the subject of trying to measure himself against a memory of 41 years: "I know Lindsay Scott, he is from Wayne County, where I come from. And of course I know Herschel. I talked to (1980 quarterback) Buck Belue and a few other guys on the team. And I grew up listening (late on the radio) to Larry Munson's highlights on YouTube, all his calls.
"But there comes a time when you become a player and you can't really be a fan anymore. And I don't really know when this switch happened.
"I guess I know the scale for everyone because I was a fan at one point. I know this is a big deal.
Yeah, a pretty big life event. Somewhere between getting your learner's license and the birth of a child.
When asked on Sunday how much he thought about the possibility of Monday being a legacy game, Georgia coach Kirby Smart couldn't put enough distance between him and that thought. Such is the life of a coach, existing in the prison of the moment.
"What I'm feeling is how to stop Bryce Young and how to control his forehead and how to run the ball, how to throw the ball effectively, how to convert third downs and stop them in the red zone," said Smart.
Others feel a little more free to admit that they are seeing outside the narrow tunnel on match day.
"To be the first (champion team) since the drought, I'm telling people, you'll be a Georgia legend," said linebacker Nolan Smith. "We have come to be legendary, to be special, to leave your mark. "
Linebacker Frank Ros speaks with defensive coordinator Erk Russell in 1980.
Frank Ros, middle linebacker and captain of the 1980 team, keeps saying how long Georgia waited long enough for another championship. "Forty-one is a generation (plus a few). It's amazing that a program rich in history like Georgia failed to win another, "he said. Recovering from minor surgery, Ros will not be at Indy for the game. (Definition of minor surgery: any surgery you do not have).
Ah, but he'll be back in the Atlanta area to watch carefully, and as hopeful as he has been at any time for the past four decades.
"I think everyone thinks we're ready to win one," he said. "We feel like we have an opportunity, but we have to play our best. When you come to a championship final you have to be at your best or you don't stand a chance. "
This is how the 1980 captain cleared room on the pedestal on which the last championship team stood. They are signaling 2021 to take a step forward, to give new blood to the glory.
"We have been missing company for a long time," said Ros.

A person is trapped after a car has driven off the road near Geraldine.
Emergency services were called to crash near the intersection of State Highway 72 and Pratt Rd at 9.06am.
St John confirmed they transferred one patient with minor injuries but they were not taken to hospital.
Geraldine Fire and Emergency services were also in attendance.
FENZ spokesman Riwai Grace said it was "insane" to see drivers not being patient and driving to the conditions.
"We have been to a phenomenal amount of callouts already. We have had two callouts in the South Island this morning."
Grace urged motorists to think of families and friends when on the roads and asked people to get to their destination safe.
Around 8.30am there was another crash in Canterbury after a person had to be extricated from a vehicle on the southern side of Ashburton on SH1.
St John transported one person in a moderate condition to Ashburton Hospital as a result of the crash.


I was Fat Green Lantern for Halloween. Upon reviewing photos of myself for this year's costume, next year I will stick with fat Elvis or Fat Albert or Fatty McFatterson. Or, the wife of Jack Sprat.
Anyway, here are some nice photos.
Jamie carved a delightful Kitty Pumpkin. Little girls were especially fond of this one.
I carved this pumpkin. It ended up looking like Stan's clone go wrong from the first season of South Park. It's a happy coincidence and I'm proud of my mutant creation.
Here is a rough idea of what our house looked like. We were going to sit on a beach towel, but this turned out to be a real hassle as kids kept expecting for us to get up to give them candy.
Here is Jamie in her bee costume. She takes a nice picture, that bee does.
Here is a pic of your blogger (who has never before published his own photo to the site, I might add), hanging with Mel. I am the one with the power ring.
I am happy to say we had dozens of visitors, all of whom were very sweet. We had one Superman, one Batman, about five Spider-Mans and a herd of ninjas, ghouls, witches, and Britney Federlines. Also, I am delighted to say many, many people identified me as GL, both parents and kids alike. I think the lady across the street thought I was sporting some demonic symbol until I told her I was "one of the Superfriends".

L'USS Erie (PG-50) était le navire de tête des canonnières de classe Erie de la marine américaine. LErie était le deuxième navire de la marine américaine à porter ce nom. Le premier Erie a été nommé d'après le lac Érié, tandis que ce Erie a suivi les pratiques de dénomination de la marine américaine des canonnières, comme les croiseurs, étant nommés d'après le nom les villes.

L'''Erie a protégé les intérêts américains pendant la guerre civile espagnole, a servi de navire d'entraînement pour l'United States Naval Academy, il a ensuite servi de navire d'escorte de Convoi pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle a opéré dans l'océan Pacifique, l'océan Atlantique et la mer des Caraïbes jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit torpillée et mortellement endommagée par le U-163, au large de Curaçao, en 1942.

 Construction et mise en service

LErie a été commandé en , et déposé au New York Navy Yard, le . Erie a été le premier navire à être construit dans la cale sèche  du chantier naval, plutôt que sur un slip. Pour la première fois, lors de la cérémonie de pose de la quille au chantier naval de New York, les premiers rivets de la quille du Erie sont posés par des employés civils plutôt que par des officiers de la marine. Dans les six mois, en , la plupart des travaux de la coque, du pont principal, du pont secondaire et de la structure de la plate-forme ont été achevés. Après que le commandant (plus tard, le vice-amiral) Edward Hanson a eu son diplôme, en , du Naval War College, il a reçu l'ordre de d'achever l'équipement du Erie  et d'en être le capitaine lors de sa mise en service. Les sept mois suivants, de  jusqu'à mi-, ont vu des progrès significatifs dans l'assemblage des composants du pont principal, du pont de navigation, du poste de pilote et de la salle des cartes. En , 80% des travaux de coque étaient terminés avec environ 50% de l'équipement et des machines installés.

Le Erie a été lancé le 29 Février 1936. Le club d'Erie de New York ont planifié et dirigé la cérémonie de lancement avec une délégation notable du Erie assistant, avec les sponsors du Erie Mme. Edmund (Ida) Knoll.

Le Erie n'étant terminé qu'à 98%, et ses cannons de six pouces toujours pas installés, la cérémonie de mise en service a débuté le 1erJuillet 1936. Le commandant Hanson à signé le reçu officiel pour la canonnière et a lu les ordres qui l'assigné au navire.

Le gérant du chantier a rapporté le 1er Août 1936, que la coque était terminée à 98,8% et que l'espace machinerie à 95,1% avec une éventuelle possibilité que les constructions se terminent le 15 Août. Le Erie est parti le 17 Août, et a fait cap vers l'atlantique le premier jour sur mer. Pendant l'essai sur mer initiale du Erie, sa propulsion a souffert de défaut de construction, mais globalement les épreuves étaient généralement satisfaisantes. Après quelques réparations, le Erie a retrouvé sa puissance officielle le 26 Août.

What Even Is Time?
What does time mean anymore? Photo: Nicholas Eveleigh/Getty Images
More than usual, I've been reading news articles that are quite literally about time. If you've come in contact with a person infected with coronavirus, you could show symptoms between two and 14 days after exposure (if ever). The United States is ten days behind Italy's coronavirus timeline. In about 45 days, New York City's caseload will peak. Most distressingly: The Department of Health and Human Services is warning that this pandemic "will last 18 months or longer."
And yet, over the past however-long-it's-been since I stopped leaving my apartment, I've completely lost all sense of it. When did the days start feeling so long, or do they actually feel short? How have I managed to pass so much time, doing I don't even know what?
Other than feeling increasingly feral, I couldn't describe to you what I've done this week. Instead, all my waking hours seem to have coalesced into one single blur, which goes like this: Upon waking up, I think, "Oh, yeah," after which I occupy myself by doing a series of largely unproductive movements. I flick my thumb across my laptop touchpad, taking brief breaks to swipe that same finger in the same motion on my iPhone. I do deep-breathing exercises in bed after watching a video about the devastating number of obituaries in Italian newspapers, and move to the ground when I seek a cool, hard surface. Hours later, I lie in that same spot on the floor and hump the air, as a bubbly aerobic instructor on my computer screen encourages me on my journey to getting a bubble butt that I worry no one except for my roommate will ever admire. I lie in bed some more. I ask my cat, "How are we doing?" I fall asleep drinking a dirty gin martini that's approximately 50 percent olive juice. And then, once again, "Oh, yeah."
I do not mean to complain about my new largely inactive lifestyle. I'm lucky to be able to stay inside all day, working from home; I'm fortunate to still have an income, which many workers across industries recently found themselves without. Even when I'm feeling particularly restless, I know this imposed timelessness is a luxury in its own way. But still, it's a disorienting adjustment to make, to this weightless-feeling reality that was imposed nearly overnight. It's even harder to wrap my head around the larger question of timelessness: How long will life be like this? Will the ordinary, orderly passage of the hours ever return? Did time ever exist?
Unfortunately, for me, there are no clear answers to any of these questions. So, for now, I foresee myself spending progressively more and more time in an alternative universe on my new Nintendo Switch, which people in a bygone era would've considered a "time suck." Seeing as I no longer know what time is, I do not understand this concept, but I look forward to finding out.

An overview of models used in economic analyses of biologic therapies for arthritis--from current diversity to future consensus
Jason Madan, Anthony E Ades, Nicky J Welton
Multi-parameter Evidence Synthesis Research
Centre for Academic Primary Care
A number of cost-effectiveness models have been developed with the aim of providing guidance for decision making on biologic therapies for the management of inflammatory joint disease. The findings of these analyses can differ markedly, and these differences can undermine the credibility of such models if unexplained. To allow differences between models to be identified more easily, we define six components common to all models-initial response, longer term disease progression, mortality, quality-adjusted life year estimation, resource use and the selection and interpretation of data. We give examples of divergent approaches taken by model structures to the same issue, and explore the impact of divergence on model results, with particular focus on two models that have reported substantially different estimates for the cost-effectiveness of third-line etanercept vs conventional DMARD. The sensitivity of results to a particular assumption made in a model will depend on the decision problem and assumptions made elsewhere in the model, highlighting the importance of guidance throughout model development. To some extent, guidance from bodies such as the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence can be used to determine which approach should be preferred where models differ. However, there is a pressing need for clinical input and guidance before consensus can be reached on the most credible model(s) to use for decision support.

"Where's the F**king Pressure?": Boris Becker Slams Naomi Osaka for Pulling Out of Wimbledon Championships 2021
Julie West
Tennis great Boris Becker has come down heavily on Naomi Osaka for her withdrawal from Wimbledon Championships citing mental health. The current women's World No.2 pulled out of the Major amid the continuing furor over her shock decision to pull out of the women's draw at Roland-Garros.
Naomi Osaka pulled out of Roland-Garros amid row over her press boycott
For an announcement she made in quest of mental peace, Osaka ended up drawing a world of attention to herself after she decided not to do press during the French Open. The French Tennis Federation, the tournament organizers, responded by throwing the rulebook at her and threatening her with expulsion if she continued to keep away from press conferences.
Sharing a long note on Twitter, the reigning Australian Open champion announced her withdrawal from the event revealing that she had been battling mental health issues over the last couple of years and had even faced anxious moments when it came to dealing with the press. The announcement evoked empathy and support from peers, including Serena Williams, Coco Gauff and Novak Djokovic,
but some questioned her decision saying that meeting media commitments is something that every professional athlete signs up for. Osaka too young to buckle under mental pressure says Boris Becker. Speaking to The Times, London, Becker was more forthright and less forgiving of Osaka in the matter, saying there are people who are placed far worse in life than her.
The six-time Grand Slam champion added that the argument of mental health and pressure holds when a person is struggling to put food on the table or doesn't have a job or is battling serious illness or injury.
He seemed to suggest that an athlete so well-endowed as the Japanese tennis star is in terms of fortune and having her family as a solid support system to fall back on shouldn't be hiding behind the veneer of mental health.
"Is that really pressure? Isn't it pressure when you don't have food on the table? When you have got to feed your family and don't have a job? When you have a life-changing injury? Isn't that more pressure?" Becker said. He added that Osaka, at 23, is far too young to be buckling under pressure or complaining of mental breakdowns.

Credit 'Survivor' for another marriage, as country singer Whitney Duncan will soon wed Keith Tollefson, her boyfriend of nearly two years, whom she met during 'Survivor: South Pacific' filming.
Duncan shared the news with fans on Twitter on Valentine's Day, and included a picture of the ring. Me & @keithtollefson are Engaged!!!" she wrote, adding later, "I'm going to marry this man!"
At the time of filming, Tollefson was a water treatment technician from Edina, Minn. Duncan was an aspiring country music singer who scored a minor hit in 2009 with 'Skinny Dippin'' on Warner Bros. Records. She also appeared on the 2007 season of 'Nashville Star,' finishing fifth. In recent years, she's led the public charge for information about the disappearance of her cousin, Holly Bobo.
Duncan and Tollefson's relationship created a stir at its start because Duncan was still married to musician Donny Fallgatter when her new romance blossomed. They divorced in 2011.


Saving and investing exhibit interesting behavior.
If I accumulate savings year-over year, they tend to accumulate linearly. If I invest my savings and get a small return on my savings year-over-year, they accumulate exponentially.
Exponential accumulation or growth is much, much faster than linear growth. It is this exponential growth that will allow me to become financially independent sooner rather than later.
Assuming a rounded down average total income of a census non-elderly family in Canada of $90,000 and a rounded down average household expenditure(consumption) for a census couple family in Canada of $50,000, the table and chart below show what that exponential growth looks like. The two curves start off close, but then the accumulated investments really takes off. It's a snowball effect, where the accumulating return on your savings eventually grows large enough so that it becomes a significant part of the amount being invested each year.
Assuming that someone was diligent enough to save $40,000 each year and invested to get a consistent 7% overall return year-over-year, the difference between the exponential and linear accumulation ($1,754,607.07 - $800,000) would be $954,607.07 in just 20 short years.
You very quickly realize that your annual savings rate is the only thing that matters, especially if you're goal is to accumulate 25 times your annual spending.
This table lets me set a date to reach my goal of $1,250,000 in investments. If I stick by this table, I should be financially independent in ~16 years.
This is a lot less than the projected retirement age of never for a millennial like myself.
I assume in the table above that the rate of return on my portfolio stays at a consistent 7% year in, year out. That is of course not the case, as it will go up and down. That can make a big difference. I highlight my reasoning for assuming this average rate of return in my Investment Thesis.
I have also assumed so far that I start with $0 to my name, and myself and my partner's combined ability to save $40,000 a year.
Along the same lines, I assume that my partner and I will keep earning a combined net income of $90,000. It will mostly likely go up and down as we advance through our careers, whether it be through wage increases, employment changes, periods of unemployment, etc.
I have presented only a simplified representation of exponential savings/investments/portfolio growth and have only highlighted the factors that have gone into my decision making process, as I feel it captures the essence of my goal of and path to financial freedom.

It can hard to find a paper shredder that fits your needs. Many require a specific size trash can or are too big for household use.
The MailMate which is available at Staples is so compact it can fit on a countertop, in a cabinet or under a table. Also, the lightweight bin is easy to empty.
The heavy duty motor can grind up unopened junk mail, CDs or DVDs (one at a time) and can shred up to ten folded sheets of paper at a time. It also can handle staples and small paper clips.


Cosmetic surgeons are licensed medical doctors whose focus lie in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery but focused on cosmetic or aesthetic application of the skill. They are schooled in the reconstruction of skin and tissues, bones and ligaments for the purpose of restoring or enhancing one's physical form. They specialize in the area of cosmetics that focus on the reconstruction, diminution and augmentation of certain body parts to essentially re-sculpt the body to suit the vanities of people to have the features that nature did not give them. It is no wonder that cosmetic surgery is the most popular and lucrative form of plastic surgery.

A couple of my clients recently inquired about their need to deal with a situation where there they had a program with a wrong channel. They wanted to change the channel but couldn't do so because they had program members.
They were worried that removing these members from the program might cause an issue with the "acquired by" so the information of the acquisition program will be lost.
They asked support and couldn't get a clear answer first, only when I intervened and contacted support myself we found the best solution.
1. Export the list of members as a CSV file (screenshot 1, step 1 & 3).
2. Delete all the members from the program (screenshot 1, step 2).
3. Change the program channel (You might have to change update some of your smart campaigns, pointing at the previous program status) (screenshot 2, step 1).
4. Import the list you exported in step 1 to the program (screenshot 1, step 4).
5. Update all the statuses to what they have been before.
6. Mark the leads who were acquired by (you have this information in the CSV file from step 1) and using "Change Data Value" you can update the Acquisition program. From that point the "Acquired By" leads will become again "Acquired By" that program (screenshot 3).
HI Ronen Wasserman, on step 6 when you marked them 'acquired by' is there any issue with the date they were acquired and the opportunity analyzer? If your original program acquired them on May 1 but the new channel update acquired them on October 1, would that impact your opportunity analyzer?
Yes, the new date would apply, and I've seen that mess up my reporting.
There may be limited options to changing the Acquisition Date.
Honestly, if you've gotten so far with the wrong Program Channel, you shouldn't bother changing it unless it's a big deal.

Johann Georg Gichtel (* 4. oder 14. März 1638 in Regensburg; † 21. Januar 1710 in Amsterdam) war ein Mystiker und Spiritualist.

Leben
Gichtel, Sohn eines Steuerbeamten in Regensburg, studierte zunächst in Straßburg Theologie, wechselte aber später zur Rechtswissenschaft. Nach kurzer Tätigkeit als Advokat in Speyer kehrte er 1664 nach Regensburg zurück.

Für seinen weiteren Lebensweg wurde die Begegnung mit dem Juristen Justinian von Welz wichtig. Dieser wandte sich in seiner Schrift De vita solitaria gegen das übliche "Maulchristentum" und vertrat das Ideal eines weltabgewandten Christentums. In den 1660er Jahren forderte von Welz zur Bildung einer neuen Gesellschaft auf, die das Luthertum einigen und den Missionsbefehl Jesu  umsetzen sollte. Gichtel ließ sich für dieses Vorhaben gewinnen und war zunächst im Auftrag von Welz in Deutschland unterwegs. Weil er sich in Schmähschriften mit der Geistlichkeit Regensburgs und Nürnbergs anlegte, wurde er in Haft genommen und 1665 aus Regensburg ausgewiesen.

Gichtel beschäftigte sich fortwährend mit religiösen Schriften. 1682 gab er Jakob Böhmes Werke vollständig heraus. Aufnahme fand er bei dem Pfarrer und Spiritualisten Friedrich Breckling in Zwolle, der schon vielen Gesinnungsgenossen Unterschlupf gewährt hatte. Als Gichtel sich dort für Friedrich Breckling in dessen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Amsterdamer Konsistorium einsetzte, kam er wegen seiner heftigen Kirchenkritik ins Gefängnis und an den Pranger und wurde aus Zwolle ausgewiesen. Auch Breckling verlor seine Pfarrstelle. Er fand nach seiner Ausweisung aus Zwolle eine Zufluchtsstätte in Amsterdam. Hier lebte er – nicht immer spannungsfrei – mit mehreren Hausbrüdern und -schwestern zusammen.

Gichtels Vorstellung, dass Gott in der Seele des Gläubigen wohne, ließ ihn jedes äußere Kirchentum ablehnen und führte zu einem Bewusstsein einer exklusiven Gottesbeziehung. Ebenso verwarf er den Ehestand und forderte sexuelle Askese, da der wahre Christ allein mit der himmlischen Sophia vermählt sei.

Neben der Böhme-Ausgabe beschäftigte sich Gichtel mit seiner Theosophie. Asketische Übungen gehörten hierzu. Es wird von visionären und wunderbaren Erlebnissen berichtet, die seine Verbindung mit der göttlichen Sophia belegen sollen. Er hatte ein intensives mystisches Erleben.

Gichtel lebte bewusst nur von Spenden, denn seine Theosophia practica beinhaltete neben dem Verzicht auf irdische Liebe auch den Verzicht auf die Sorge. Die Forderung nach Heiligung des Lebens schloss die konsequente Ablehnung der lutherischen Rechtfertigungslehre ein. Die letzte Stufe dieser Heiligung ist die ständige Selbstverleugnung und der Verzicht auf alle irdische Lust. Hierdurch gelange man zum Melchisedekschen Priestertum, das sich wie Christus selbst zum Opfer bringt, um andere, auch Verstorbene, von ihren Leiden zu befreien.

Seine Ansichten hat er in zahlreichen Sendschreiben propagiert. Diese wurden als Theosophische Sendschreiben von Gottfried Arnold (1700) und später nochmals unter dem Titel Theosophia practica von Johann Wilhelm Überfeld (Leiden 1722, 6 Bde.) mit seiner Biographie herausgegeben.

Mit dem radikalen Pietisten Gottfried Arnold stand Gichtel spätestens seit dem Jahr 1699 in schriftlicher Verbindung. Zahlreiche andere radikale Pietisten, wie Hochmann von Hochenau und das Ehepaar Johann Wilhelm und Johanna Eleonora Petersen hat er beeinflusst oder stand mit ihnen in regem Kontakt. Wegen seiner Rechthaberei und der Forderung nach Ehelosigkeit wandten sich andere Vertreter des Spiritualismus und einige seiner engsten Mitarbeiter von ihm ab.

Die Glieder der von ihm gestifteten kleinen Gemeinde in Holland wurden nach ihm Gichtelianer genannt; sie selbst nannten sich Engelsbrüder, weil sie bis zur Reinheit der Engel sich zu erheben hofften. An ihre Spitze stellte sich nach dem Tode Gichtels der Kaufmann Johann Wilhelm Überfeld in Leiden, während die Kreise in Altona und Hamburg Johann Otto Glüsing folgten, wo sie laut Johann Adrian Bolten noch um 1800 existierten. Weitere Kreise von Gichtelianern gab es in Berlin, Magdeburg, Dresden und Nordhausen.

Starken Einfluss hatte Gichtel auch auf den frühen Hallischen Pietismus. Jedoch waren die Franckeschen Anstalten in Halle für Gichtel ein Abfall ins Äußerliche. Für Institutionen hatten Gichtel und seine Anhänger nichts übrig – dies gilt natürlich zuallererst für jede Form institutionellen Kirchentums.

"Consistency" is the key to success for Lucan Irish
"Consistency." That was a straightforward response from Lucan Irish head coach Glen Marshall when asked about how the team has managed success in the early stages of the Provincial Junior Hockey League (PJHL) season.

LUCAN – "Consistency."
That was a straightforward response from Lucan Irish head coach Glen Marshall when asked about how the team has managed success in the early stages of the Provincial Junior Hockey League (PJHL) season.
The first-year Irish head coach says he, staff and the team are taking the season one weekend at a time and try not to look at the standings too much this early in the year.
Marshall says consistency is the key to their success, having already surpassed their 2017-18 win total through 15 games this season. Last season Lucan posted six wins in 40 games, which placed them last in the Yeck Division standings. Prior to weekend games against Thamesford and North Middlesex, the team found itself right in the middle of the pack with a 7-5-1-2 record.
Asked about surpassing last year's win total, Marshall says it "didn't go unnoticed," and he's happy with how things have shaped up for the Irish in the early going.
Speaking with the Times-Advance at the beginning of October Marshall said the team's goaltenders were keeping them in games with their strong play. While goaltenders Kyle Morning and Devyn Clark have maintained a strong level of play, Marshall says the Irish are converting on more scoring chances.
"I think the biggest thing is that over the last month we are on a pretty good streak of picking up at least a point in every game," Marshall said. He said overtime losses to the Exeter Hawks (4-3 on Oct. 12) and the Thamesford Trojans (5-4 on Oct. 13) were good measuring stick games and it showed that the Irish can compete with any team in their division.
"Our work ethic has been consistent," Marshall described the team's overall effort.
Prior to the Nov. 16-17 weekend games the Irish had only played 15 games which was two or three fewer than most of the other Yeck Division teams. Asked if the schedule has contributed to Lucan's success, Marshall said, "If it continued, maybe. But honestly I don't get too bogged down looking at the standings this early. I'm more focused on our own record and what we're doing weekend to weekend."
The Irish are entering the heavier part of their schedule and will play four games to close out November.
This season the Irish have had one of the PJHL's top penalty kills, having killed off 88.52 per cent of the 61 penalties they've taken. Only Aylmer and Lambeth have taken fewer penalties than the Irish but both teams have lower penalty kill percentages.
Although they've had success when down a man, the same can't be said for the Irish's power play. In fact they've only scored five power plays goals in 61 opportunities, giving them an 8.19 per cent success rate.
"I wish I had the answer," said Marshall when asked about why the team's power play has struggled. He noted there has been improvement in recent games and he's hoping the team can get it rolling soon.
More than 350 fans were in attendance when the Irish picked up a win in Ilderton on Nov. 10. The game acted as a fundraiser for the Ilderton Minor Hockey Association and the Irish defeated the Lambeth Lancers 6-5 in overtime. Affiliated player Kearnan Jenney scored the OT winner and earned first star honours.
In speaking about the game against Lambeth, Marshall said, "It was a great moral victory," considering the success the Lancers have had in each of the last two seasons.
Marshall says getting the team involved in community events is important and the team will be doing so again soon. The Irish have their annual Harvest Dinner coming up on Sun., Nov. 25 after an afternoon game against Port Stanley.
On Dec. 1 the team will also take part in the Lucan Santa Claus Parade before taking on the Exeter Hawks.
