I ran something called ‘The Philosophy Forum’ at the ICA for a couple of years in the mid-1990s, with Sonu Shamdasani, and there was a terrific buzz around the events, which featured such luminaries as Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy and Michel Serres. It was at the ICA that I first encountered Judith Butler and where she defended herself brilliantly against the voluntarist misinterpretations of Gender Trouble (1990) that have endlessly plagued the reception of her work. Indeed, an awful lot happened at the ICA in those days, which is really difficult to imagine after the decay of that institution into endlessly stupid events about neuroscience and art sponsored by transnational corporations. It seemed obvious that the questions of identity formation and political resistance posed by these approaches couldn’t simply be subsumed under the usual Marxist analysis of class. I remember being on a panel at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London listening to him talk about the Indian Mutiny of 1857 and develop his theory of culture in terms of the category of hybridity. Bhabha (then a humble lecturer at Sussex) exerted an ever-growing cultural influence. It seemed to provide a new geography for theorizing social and cultural ensembles and it changed definitively the way I approached the philosophical tradition. I started my job at Essex the same week as Paul Gilroy and learnt a lot from his work that was eventually published as The Black Atlantic in 1994. Of much greater interest was the question of what came to be known as ‘post-colonialism’. The Habermasians defended their secular, Modernist corner tenaciously, and everybody else tried to ignore them, often with great success. I remember Žižek coming repeatedly to Essex in the late 1980s and then reading the first 100 pages of The Sublime Object of Ideology when it was published in 1989 and thinking, ‘This is it.’ Sadly, my enthusiasm waned.īy the early 1990s, the pseudo-heat of the Postmodernism debate had dissipated and positions became routinized and rather tedious. People forget that it was through Laclau that Slavoj Žižek entered into theoretical debate in the English-speaking world, showing how the notion of radical democracy required a more Lacanian account of the subject, articulated in relation to the Real. the emergence of new forms of democratization after the collapse of state socialism in 1989 and the rise of new social movements organized around gender or race rather than class. It set off a wave of attacks on their unapologetic post-Structuralist post-Marxism, but for crypto-Gramscians like me, the theory of hegemony seemed to offer an account of political practice that made sense of the new situation, i.e. The publication of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s Hegemony and Socialist Strategy (1985) was a key moment in leftist theoretical debates in the following years. The question of the political, as it came to be called, assumed a centrality that must seem odd to those who didn’t live through the orthodox Marxism that preceded it. In those distant days, prior to the metropolitanization of intellectual life and the rise of the urban hipster and even the yBa, provincial universities like Essex, Sussex and Warwick were still places where you could think and were the crossroads or vanguard (pick your metaphor) of new ideas about theory and philosophy.ĭefinition of 'theory' in Raymond Williams' Keywords, 1976. Thirdly, and most importantly, I got a job at Essex University teaching philosophy, which was very cool. Secondly, the Cold War had ended, everyone seemed very pleased, and people began to say wildly optimistic things about liberal democracy and the End of History. Firstly, it is difficult not to exaggerate the elation that was felt at Thatcher’s resignation in late November 1990. The 1990s were something different, but it is difficult to describe exactly in what that difference consisted. He lives in Brooklyn, USA.įrom the obscure, muddy corner of England where I resided, the 1980s were a dismal period, defined by the threat of imminent nuclear catastrophe and the ineluctable rise of the right, with Thatcher’s crushing victory over organized labour and what remained of the socialist left.

I invited the girls to share a slice of pre-dinner cake with me (it was so I could take pictures! Honest!), and much giggling ensued as 3 girls plus myself shared a single piece of cake before dinner. Yes the strawberry halves are breath-taking, but this cake is delicious and perfectly attractive on its own also (in a rustic way–which is my favorite anyway). I told myself oil based cakes are extra easy (absolutely true–no creaming of butter required and often can be mixed by hand) and that it would be fun to have cake for Alex’s friend (whom I knew to have a sweet tooth) and to just make the darn thing already. Finally in a fit of cake obsessed desperation I decided I was being silly, and we whipped this cake up for Alex’s friend, who was coming to spend the night. But every time I thought about making the cake, it kind of killed me to not have the gorgeous hillocks and valleys created by placing strawberry halves across the top of the cake. Why? Because in the cookbook they make it topped with strawberries, which is sinfully gorgeous. Paradoxically, I almost did not make this cake. If you are a fan of the olive juice, this is a book for you. Some recipes I have bookmarked include Whole Wheat Scones with Blueberries and Lavender Chicken Kebobs with Cucumber-Mint Barley Lamb Shanks with Rosemary, Garlic, and Gigante Beans and Olive Oil and Vanilla Ice Cream (confession: I adore olive oil ice creams). It also includes dressings and marinades–and even has a cocktail made with olive oil! And when I say olive oil, I am of course only talking about extra virgin olive oil. These ladies are serious about olive oil–so serious they skipped all the BS and self-published their gorgeous book (and it is gorgeous–this is a true hardback cookbook filled with beautiful color photos)! The book covers everything from poaching in olive oil (something I still need to try) to braising, steaming and baking (among more typical methods like roasting). Together they make up Two Extra Virgins (head to their site to purchase your own hard copy). Cooking Techniques and Recipes with Olive Oil was written by a friend of mine, Laura Bashar from Family Spice, and Mary Platis from California Greek Girl. I receive a cookbook all about the joys of cooking with olive oil, and I head straight for the chocolate.īut let me tell you a bit about the book first, which has a lot more going on for it than just chocolate (although we shouldn’t discount the genius of including chocolate recipes in cookbooks about olive oil). Affiliate links have been used in this post to link to items I am discussing. A copy of Olive Oil was provided to me by the cookbook authors for purposes of an honest review. Dark chocolate olive oil cake is easy, healthier, rich and indulgent. Ī legend of Saint Olaf recounts how a troll built a church for the saint at a fantastic speed and price, but the saint was able to free himself by learning the troll's name during a walk in the woods. This effect is used in many tales, such as in the German fairytale of Rumpelstiltskin: within Rumpelstiltskin and all its variants, the girl can free herself from the power of a supernatural helper who demands her child by learning its name. It is stated that knowing someone's, or something's, true name therefore gives the person (who knows the true name) power over them. Many later episodes of the Odyssey depict Odysseus facing the relentless hostility of Poseidon - all of which he could have avoided had he persisted in keeping his real name secret.Īccording to practices in folklore, referred to as 'the Law of Names' knowledge of a true name allows one to affect another person or being magically. But later, having escaped after blinding Polyphemus and thinking himself beyond Polyphemus' power, Odysseus - in an act of hubris that was to cause enormous problems later - boastfully reveals his real name now knowing his real name, Polyphemus was able to call down upon Odysseus the revenge of his father, the sea god, Poseidon. When captured by Polyphemus, Homer's Odysseus is careful not to reveal his name when asked for it, Odysseus tells the giant that he is " Οὖτις", which means "nobody". When such a child attains the marriageable age, a new name, generally that of one of the Patriarchs, is given to it. In Jewish tradition, when several children have died in a family the next that is born has no name given to it, but is referred to as " Alter" ( Yiddish: אלטער, literally "old"), or Alterke, the view being that the Angel of Death, not knowing the name of the child, will not be able to seize it. These names are never mentioned and kept from general knowledge. Ĭontemporary pre-industrial peoples guard secret names which are only used in solemn rituals. The true form or name of a spirit inscribed on a talisman is legible only to supernatural beings, and gives a sort of temporary "control" over the entity whose name or form is possessed. These talismanic representations are considered to be windows into the metaphysical substance and immutable essence of things - that is, images of the eternal Dao without form. Ĭhinese Daoist traditions such as the Three Sovereigns corpus emphasize the capacity of talismans, charts, and diagrams to depict the true forms ( zhenxing 真形) and true names ( zhenming 真名) of demons and spirits. Thereafter Jacob obtains a new name which signifies his successful struggle to God and man, and names the place to commemorate his surviving an encounter with the Divine. Īlso in a Biblical context, in the tale of Jacob's nocturnal wrestling with an anonymous angel, the angel refuses to reveal his own name to Jacob even after the angel's submission at dawn. To prevent abuse of this power, as well as to avoid blasphemy, the name of God was always taboo, and increasingly disused so that by the time of Jesus their High Priest was supposedly the only individual who spoke it aloud - and then only in the Holy of Holies upon the Day of Atonement. The ancient Jews considered God's true name so potent that its invocation conferred upon the speaker tremendous power over His creations. The true name of God plays a central role in Kabbalism (see Gematria, Temurah, YHWH ) and to some extent in Sufism (see 100th name of God). Hellenistic Judaism emphasized the divine nature of logos, later adopted by the Gospel of John. Socrates in Plato's Cratylus considers, without taking a position, the possibility whether names are "conventional" or "natural", natural being the "True name" (), that is, whether language is a system of arbitrary signs or whether words have an intrinsic relation to the things they signify (this anti-conventionalist position is called Cratylism). This gave Isis complete power over Ra and allowed her to put her son Horus on the throne. The true name of the Egyptian sun god Ra was revealed to Isis through an elaborate trick.

Many components in a system contribute to its overall performance, but the CPU/processor, memory, graphics board, and storage configuration generally play the largest roles for most users. Finally, confirm that the operating system is fully updated and patched to ensure optimal compatibility and to reflect the current, real-world OS configuration–not the OS as it may have shipped years ago. This is especially true of graphics boards and motherboards/chipsets, where the wrong driver can significantly worsen the system’s frame rates or transfer speeds and latency. Using the correct (typically the latest) drivers for a component is another important step to take to ensure that it is operating and performing optimally. Consequently, after boot-up, it’s best to let the system “settle” and reach an idle state, with no drive or CPU activity, before you run a test. In the same vein, most operating systems load multiple services and perform maintenance during the initial boot process. Unless you’re testing a system as it shipped from an OEM to evaluate the effects of background applications on performance, shut them down before running the tests. This is especially important in connection with antimalware utilities, remote desktop tools, and downloaders that intermittently consume CPU, memory, and storage resources and steal application focus. You don’t want applications or utilities that may be running in the background to interfere with the benchmark, so shut them down. If you have applications running, it may not be safe (or possible) to delete all temporary files, so restart your system and shut down any applications that may be running in the background before wiping out any temporary files. In Windows 7, you can find prefetch data in C:WindowsPrefetch, and temporary files in C:WindowsTemp and C:UsersAppDataLocalTemp. Windows (and other) operating systems proactively prefetch data and store numerous temporary files that could interfere with a benchmark, so it’s best to clear out any temporary files and prefetch data before running a test. On the software front, parameters for the operating system, applications, and drivers must be satisfied to ensure accurate, repeatable benchmark results. That said, we’ve run benchmarks for many years, and have had only a handful of components fail due to the demands of a benchmark test–and those components were likely defective to begin with. Also, an inadequately cooled or underpowered device that works most of the time may become unstable under stress. If you have a component that seems unstable or unreliable during normal, day-to-day use, subjecting it to a taxing benchmark could kill it. Many benchmarks place significant stress on specific components, so you need to ensure that all such components are in good working order, properly cooled (if necessary), and receiving adequate power. Here, I’ll solve an example that will help you to understand how to join collection by their id in MongoDB. As you already know that for joining the collection we use the $lookup aggregation. In this topic, you will learn how you can join two collections by id. Read: MongoDB group by count MongoDB join two collections by id So when you have an array of fields in documents and you want to merge the collections then this way you can easily join the collections. Here we apply $lookup aggregation on member collection using the field enrollmentlist of an array and merge the two collections with foreignField name and that displays the below output. Now, we apply aggregation operation and join documents of the members’ collection with classes collection. Here, these are some documents we inserted into the members’ collection. This is the simple syntax or query that is used to join two collections. In this, you have to specify which collection you want to join with the current collection and select the field that matches in both the collection. In MongoDB, we can combine data of multiple collections into one through the $lookup aggregation stage. Read: MongoDB group by multiple fields MongoDB join two collections query If documents come from the “joined” collection, the $lookup (aggregation) function will return the documents in the form of a sub-array of the target original collection. The $lookup(aggregation) is a stage that makes a left outer join with another collection and assists to filters the documents from joined documents. In MongoDB, the $lookup (aggregation) function allows us to join the documents on collections that reside in the same database. MongoDB join two collections using python What is used for joining the collection in MongoDB? This spell was the same damage-wise in older versions of Prodigy, being the weakest and least-damaging fire spell.Fireball looks similar to Water Burst and Shadow Shock, except it is of the fire element.This spell can also be used by the Team Crystal when battling the Earth Titan.

It, therefore, finds more use among veteran players. This crosshair setting in CS:GO more closely resembles the ones found in older Counter-Strike games. It is still far from the best crosshair style in CS:GO, though, since many players dislike the irregularly-shaped lines it features. As such, this crosshair style finds more use, since the static nature takes up less space and generally makes it easier to line up shots. This means that it remains static on the screen, regardless of any movement or shooting. This crosshair setting is similar to Default, except that it loses the dynamic elements on the outside. You may, however, like it for the feedback it provides. The outsides of this crosshair expand when you move or shoot, which means that it takes up a considerable amount of screen space, and can also be quite distracting. Generally, this is the least-used amongst the player base, and for good reason. This is the default crosshair style that you begin with in CS:GO.
