Thanks to a discussion on a French-language Quaker site, I feel like reposting these thoughts that I wrote for a previous version of my blog.
...More recent thoughts on the subject to come.
The Nonviolent Atonement
--and its shorter form: "Violence in Christian Theology," both by J. Denny Weaver
About a year ago I came across a collection of essays entitled Teaching Peace: Nonviolence and the Liberal Arts (Rowman & Littlefield, 2003). One of the essays, "Violence in Christian Theology," was contributed by J. Denny Weaver, who also co-edits the book with Gerald Biesecker-Mast. The essay, as it turns out, is based on Weaver's longer work, The Nonviolent Atonement (Grand Rapids, Eerdmans, 2001).
Weaver is a professor at Bluffton University, which is affiliated with the Mennonite Church, USA. I presume that his writing is grounded in nonviolent Anabaptist theological thought (something I don't know much about). In "Violence in Christian Theology," Weaver "outlines the way that a presumed standard Christian theology has accommodated violence." He does this by "focusing especially on on the central Christian doctrine of atonement" and he finishes up "by sketching a specifically nonviolent understanding of atonement."
Words like "error" and "heresy" constantly rang in my head as I read this essay. My grade school religion teachers took great pains, especially during Holy Week, to describe the sufferings of Jesus to us in excruciating detail. I can remember a particularly graphic retelling of how the soldiers fashioned the thorny crown and pressed it oh so slowly and sadistically into Jesus' forehead until blood spurted out. (The blood-drenched stills I saw in the "souvenir" book to Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ --which I did not go see-- were only slightly more vivid than my gradeschool memories. Maybe Mel attended the same gradeschool?)
Explanations of Why Jesus Died for Us
Weaver first summarizes the interpretations of the passion and death of Jesus that form the basis for traditional Christian atonement theology. They are as follows:
a) Christus Victor: According to this explanation, Jesus was the ransom paid to Satan, who held the souls of sinful humanity hostage. This was "the predominant image of the early church." In a variation on this theme, a "cosmic battle" is described as having been waged between God and Satan. "God's son was killed, but the resurrection then constituted the victory of God over the forces of evil and definitively identified God as the ruler of the universe."
b) Satisfaction atonement: "the predominant atonement image for much of the past millenium," developed by St. Anselm in 1098 in is book Cur Deus Homo (Why God Became Man). "Human sin had offended God's honor and thus upset divine order in the universe. The death of Jesus as the God-man was necessary in order to satisfy God's honor and restore the order of the universe." The Protestant Reformers devised a variation on this theme. "For them, Jesus' death satisfied the divine law's requirement that sin be punished. With his death Jesus submitted to and bore the punishment that was really due to us --humankind-- as sinners." I think this is also sometimes referred to as the "substitution theory" of atonement, an innocent Jesus substituting himself as victim and paying the price that we sinners should pay.
c) The "moral influence" atonement image, developed by Abelard (1079-1142): "God the Father shows love to us sinners by giving us his most precious possession, his Son, to die for us." According to this interpretation, Jesus' death is not so much an act that placates a vengeful God but "a loving act of God designed to get the attention of sinners and reveal the love of God for sinners while they were yet sinners."
Another succinct explanation of these interpretations of the atonement can be found at http://www.quakerinfo.com/atonement.shtml.
Who Needed Jesus to be Killed and Who Killed Him?
Weaver proceeds to the inescapable question of "who needed the death of Jesus?" The answer (in multiple choice fashion, using the letters assigned to each theory) is a )the devil, b) God's honor, or c) we sinners. This leads the author to the jackpot question: "Who arranges for or is responsible for the death of Jesus? Or put most crassly, Who ultimately killed Jesus?"
Historical scapegoats (an honor accorded traditionally to the Jews) and exquisitely finessed theological arguments (again provided in abundance by my teachers) notwithstanding, I have to agree with Weaver that the traditional atonement theories, particularly the doctrine of satisfaction, turn God into a "divine avenger or punisher ... one who arranges the death of one child for the benefit of others." The author eventually concludes: "Any and all versions of satisfaction atonement, regardless of their packaging, assume the violence of retribution or justice based on punishment and depend on God-induced and God-directed violence."
The Unpinnings of a Violent Christian Theology
I was thunderstuck by Weaver's essay. To me it meant that the traditional doctrines of the atonement constitute the very underpinnings justifying violence of all sorts in the names of God and of Jesus. After all, here was God himself not only authorizing the violent death of his son but absolutely requiring it. How can such a God, I wondered, then turn around and urge us to heed the words of his son:
"Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword "(Mt. 26:52)?
Or "Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you" (The translation given in The Message of "You are to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt 5:48)?
And what effect does the dying Jesus' plea have: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Lk 22:34)?
God the Father seemed to be claiming some sort of retributive exception for himself, thus making him the Grudgebearer of the Ages.
In pursuing his argument, Weaver shows how the traditional atonement doctrines lead to a warped interpretation of the person of Jesus himself. The Jesus of the gospels becomes "a passive victim, whose purpose was to get himself killed in order to satisfy a big cosmic legal requirement." He counters:
"Rather, Jesus was an activist, whose mission was to make the rule of God visible. And his acts demostrated what the reign of God looked like -- defending poor people, raising the status of women, raising the status of Samaritans, performing healings and exorcisms, preaching the reign of God, and more. His mission was to make the reign of God present in the world in his person and in his teaching and to invite people to experience the liberation it presented...."
What happened to Jesus was what we have seen happen in our own time to people like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.: "When Jesus made the reign of God visible and present in that way, it was so threatening that the assembled array of evil forces killed him."
Weaver calls this explanation of the atonement "narrative Christus Victor." To sum it up:
"Narrative Christus Victor... is grounded in assumptions of nonviolence-- the nonviolence of Jesus-- rather than violence. In particular, it does not assume retribution or that injustice is balanced by the violence of punishment.
"It does not put God in the role of chief avenger nor picture God as child abuser. And it is abundantly obvious that God did not kill Jesus nor need the death of Jesus in any way. Jesus does suffer, but it is not as an act of passive submission to undeserved suffering. Jesus carries out a mission to make the rule of God present and visible, a mission to bring and to give life. When this mission threatens the forces of evil, they retaliate with violence, killing Jesus. This suffering is not something willed by nor needed by God, and it is not directed Godward. To the contrary, the killing of Jesus us the ultimate contrast between the nonviolent reign of God and the rule of evil....
"God does not need the death [of Jesus] because [narrative Christus Victor] does not make use of the idea of retribution...If anything or anyone 'needs' the death, it is the forces of evil who kill Jesus. They 'need' the death as part of the futile effort to annihiliate the reign of God. The death of Jesus is very pointedly not something needed by God or God's honor. It is rather what the forces of evil --the devil-- do to Jesus. Rather than being a divine requirement, the death of Jesus is the ultimate indication of the difference between the reign of God and the reign of evil. The reign of the devil attempts to rule by violence and death, whereas the reign of God rules and ultimately conquers through nonviolence."
If God Didn't (Doesn't) Need Jesus' Death
If I understand Weaver correctly, he is saying that Jesus suffered death at the hands of those whose power was threatened by his message of unconditional acceptance and love. I found this theory nothing short of revolutionary as it seems to remove many of the underpinnings of Christian theology.
For one thing, it restores the importance of the actions and words of Jesus before he died. His healings and acts of forgiveness become deeds that we can strive to emulate in an active, life-affirming way.
Of course, narrative Christus Victor creates a few problems of its own. I've raised one already by alluding to Gandhi and King. How was the death of Jesus more "special", more "significant" than theirs? And if it wasn't ... well, then why all the roadside billboards proclaiming "Jesus Died for Your Sins"?
-- The "narrative Christus Victor" explanation ultimately calls into question the divinity of Jesus, I think. Weaver himself does not seem to take his argument to that length and seems to still treat Jesus as, if not the divine son of God, then at least the one to whom God gave a name above every name. But if God didn't require Jesus' death ... then he did not require that infinite act of satisfaction that only the divine son could perform, the very reason the Word became flesh.
Walter Wink, building upon the writings of René Girard and Raymund Schwager, does a bit of foundational unpinning himself by saying that "Jesus never succumbed to the perspective of the persecutors by seeking revenge. He totally rejected complicity in violence....His arraignment, trial, crucifixion, and death also stripped the scapegoating mechanism of its sacred aura and exposed it for what it was: legalized murder." (The Powers that Be: Theology for a New Millennium. New York: Doubleday, 1998).
On he plus side again, the "narrative Christus Victor" explanation encourages us to dwell quite a bit less on the verses in both the Old and New Testaments that show God wreaking vengeance and certainly to cease using them as justifications for visiting violence upon others in the name of God's justice. Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer does a more than adequate job of listing and expounding upon these verses in his book Is Religion Killing Us?
Finally, I suspect that there are more than a few theologians out there who would say that Weaver, Wink, Nelson-Pallmeyer, et al., are guilty of projecting onto God and Jesus their own twenty-first century, politically correct notions of divine justice and pacifism. And I'm sure the theologians can muster countless passages from the Fathers and Doctors of the Church to refute these newfangled ideas.
I find narrative Christus Victor a very powerful and even empowering explanation of Jesus' life and death. It gives me the courage to follow the example set by Jesus in his lifetime and to do what I can to help those in need -- not for the sake of saving my soul by doing "good works" but because "This is what the kingdom of God is like" (Mk 4:26).

Daily Shoot: Focus on a fragment of an object today. Make a photograph that only shows part of an object, not the whole thing.
As I shot this I thought about how one focuses changes one's perspective. If we want this world to flourish and bloom, we have to focus on both the detail and the whole. When we see only details, we forget how everything is interconnected. Pesticides used to kill mosquitoes to eradicate certain diseases caused other issues, equally negative. There is no useless creature or plant.
Our society is driven too much by economics with a look to short term gain and not enough by a sense of the future. How do our actions now affect the future of this planet? It may be costly to convert to more sustainable energy , but if we don't we will have more environmental disasters on the scale of the BP oil spill. Some risks are just not worth taking.
This may be one flower - it nourishes the bees which pollinate our fruit trees which provide food for the birds around here .... As the human population increases we carelessly slash and burn acres of forest, we pave over living spaces, we extract resources. We need to look at the details - what are we trampling on?
Details or big picture - it is never one or the other to get a full understanding.

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) have done remarkable job by creating a social robot named Nadine, which looks almost similar to a human being. Behind the welcome desk at the Singapore University, you will meet Nadine, who is working as a receptionist at the NTU Singapore and is much different to other conventional robots. She has her own personality, mood and emotions. When you reach receptionist desk at the University, Nadine will welcome you with a friendly hello, shake hands with you and greets you with a smiling face. She is having soft skin, flowing brunette hair and remembers what you talked about last time she saw you.
Prof Nadia Thalmann, creator of Nadine and director of the Institute for Media Innovation at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, has powered Nadine with intelligent software similar to Apple's Siri or Microsoft's Cortana. This new wave of social robots could ultimately be commercialized for use as personalized assistants in the workplace, and even as companions for children and the elderly. Nadine can be happy or sad, depending on the conversation. She also has a good memory, and can recognize the people she has met, and remembers what the person had said before. It has been said that humanoid like Nadine is just one of the interfaces where the technology can be applied. It can also be made virtual and appear on a TV or computer screen, and become a low-cost virtual social companion.
Scientists believe that robots like Nadine can be more friendly used in offices and homes in future by making technological improvements in silicon chips, sensors and computation. Prof. Thalmann said that their team at NTU has been fostering cross-disciplinary research in social robotics technologies from past four years. An expert in virtual humans and a faculty from NTU's School of Computer Engineering, said that social robots can be one solution to address the shrinking workforce, become personal companions for children and the elderly at home, and even serve as a platform for healthcare services in future.
In a statement provided to EurekAlert,l by Assoc Prof Gerald Seet from the School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and the BeingThere Centre at NTU, this made-in-Singapore robot represents three years of research and development.
"EDGAR is a real demonstration of how telepresence and social robots can be used for business and education," added Prof Seet. "Telepresence provides an additional dimension to mobility. The user may project his or her physical presence at one or more locations simultaneously, meaning that geography is no longer an obstacle.
ABC News report said, Scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have unveiled "Nadine," a socially intelligent, human-looking robot complete with "her own personality, mood and emotions," according to a university news release.
The humanoid "receptionist" was presented at a new media showcase Tuesday at NTU, where her human creator, professor Nadia Thalmann, predicted that "physical social robots such as Nadine are poised to become more visible in offices and homes in future."
In a statement provided to WestFieldTimes, Meet Nadine, the terrifyingly lifelike 'social robot' that looks and acts like its owner and could one day work in your office. Behind the welcome desk at a Singapore university, a receptionist called Nadine is causing a stir.
She has mousy, shoulder-length hair neatly parted to the side, remembers what you talked about last time she saw you and returns your greeting with a friendly hello. But there's something unusual about Nadine – she's the latest in a line of so-called 'social robots' that have personalities and emotions of their own.

John Edge, Kt., C.J. and Banerji, J.
1. The plaintiffs in this suit were purchasers at a sale held in execution of the decree of a Munsif. The defendant is the purchaser of the same property at a sale held in execution of a decree against the same judgment-debtor passed by the Court of a Subordinate Judge. The attachment in execution of the decree of the Munsif took place on the 7th of April 1892. We do not know the precise date of the proclamation of sale in execution of the decree of the Munsif, but it must have been before the end of June 1892, as by an error the 31st of June was fixed as the date for sale. When it was discovered that the date was an impossible one, the 11th of July was fixed for the sale in execution of the decree of the Munsif, and the sale took place on that date. At that sale the plaintiffs purchased. The property was attached in execution of the decree of the Subordinate Judge on the 3rd of July 1892, and it was sold in execution of that decree on the 28th of August 1892, and was at that sale purchased by the defendant. The plaintiffs brought this suit for possession of the property in question. The first Court dismissed the claim. The District Judge in appeal granted the plaintiffs a decree for possession, holding that there was no Iraud in the case, and that it was not shown that at the date of the sale the Munsif was aware that the property in question was under attachment in execution of the decree of the Subordinate Judge. The District Judge considered that under those circumstances the decisions in Badri Prasad v. Saran Lal I.L.R. 4 All. 359 and Aghore Nath v. Shama Sundari I.L.R. 5 All. 615, did not apply, and followed the decision in Bykant Nath Shaha v. Rajandro Narain Rai I.L.R. 12 Cal. 333. The defendant appealed.
2. On behalf of the respondents it has been contended that Section 285 of the Code of Civil Procedure does not apply when any proceeding subsequent to attachment has taken place in execution of a decree, and in support of that contention the decisions in Patel Nararji Morarji v. Haridas Navalram I.L.R. 18 Bom. 458, Turmuklal Harkisanrai v. Kalyandas Khushal I.L.R. 19 Bom. 127 and Bykant Nath Shaha v. Rajendro Narain Rai I.L.R. 12 Cal. 333, have been referred to.
3. It appears to us that all that is necessary to be done in order to ascertain under what circumstances Section 285 of the Code of Civil Procedure applies is to read the section. There is nothing in the section to say that it shall not apply if after attachment by two Courts the property happens to be sold by the inferior Court, or if before attachment by the Court of higher grade proclamation of sale in execution of the decree of the Court of the lower grade has been issued. For present purposes all that is material to see is--was the property attached by the Court of the Subordinate Judge before it was sold by the Court of the Munsif? The section applies at once in its full force the moment the same property is attached by more Courts than one. The section does not suggest that it is to be construed according to convenience, and that a sale which is in contravention of the section is to be held good because it is convenient not to interfere with it. It is quite plain that under the section, where the same property is attached in execution of the decrees of an inferior Court and of a Court of a higher grade, the Court of the higher grade is the only Court which is allowed jurisdiction to sell the property or to receive it, and that it is, that Court which must determine any claim and any objection to the attachment of either Court.
4. So far as the decisions in I.L.R. 4 All. 359; I.L.R. 5 All. 615 and I.L.R. 7 Mad. 47, construe the section as laying down the rule that in cases of attachment by Courts of different grades it is the Court of the higher grade or highest grade which has got the sole jurisdiction to sell or receive or realize the property, we agree with them.
5. We allow the appeal with costs, and setting aside the decree of the Lower Appellate Court we restore and affirm the decree of the first Court.

Tips When Choosing Home Lighting!
Before you go out and buy new lighting for your home, it is worth walking from room to room to get a feel for the furniture, color scheme and existing lighting that is already in place. When shopping for new lighting you need to be mindful about where you will be placing these lamps within the room, how much lighting you require and if you will be focusing the light on any particular focal point. The focal point could be painting on the wall or a prized family airlume on the mantel piece.
The bedroom is a more informal room than the rest of the house and provides you the opportunity to add personal decorative ideas that you may not necessarily choose for the living room for instance. You may want to by lighting that is luxurious in style, rather than a more modern or minimalist look that you would see in other rooms. You have the option of buying side lamps for each side of the bed, or a free standing corner lamp. The amount of furniture and floor space you already have in the bedroom will probably be the deciding factor on whether a floor lamp is feasible.
If you do not have enough floor space, then you can buy table lamps that can be placed on either side of the bed. Having side lamps is a great way to add a relaxing mood into the bedroom as they do not tend to be very bright. You can also match the lampshades to the color of the bedding, curtains or the walls. If you have a ceiling light installed, you can also match the ceiling light shade to the color scheme within the room as well.
The dining room requires a more formal setting and therefore a more formal lamp as well. One important factor to note when choosing a light for the dining room that you may easily overlook is the height of a floor lamp. When you are in a standing position, the light will not shine directly at your face, but sitting down is another story. Many people forget that lamp shades will shine directly into the faces of people when sitting down. You may want to look at lighting that can be directed at the wall or ceiling so that the wall or ceiling reflects the light back into the room. Alternatively buy a lamp that uses a shade which fully surrounds the light bulb.

Common Problems With Electrical Outlets
If your home is like most, you probably have numerous electrical outlets. Although most times you can simply use these outlets without giving them a second thought, sometimes problems do occur. If you are noticing any problems with one or more outlets in your home, you should immediately evaluate and remedy the problem. If left unattended to, an annoyingly problematic electrical outlet could quickly turn into a serious safety hazard. To avoid personal injuries or fires, calling an electrician at the first sign of outlet problems is usually the best course of action. Here are some common electrical outlet problems that you might be experiencing.
Overloaded Circuits and Outlets
Overloading is often the culprit behind many electrical outlet problems. Although it can be tempting to plug too many appliances or electronic devices into one outlet, it is a practice that should definitely be avoided. If you are using a power strip or an extension box to increase the number of items you can plug into a single outlet, you might be unintentionally setting yourself up for problems. By utilizing power strips and extension boxes, it often becomes possible to plug six or more devices into an outlet that was only designed for two. In some cases, you might simply blow a fuse or trip a breaker switch as a result of overloading the outlet. However, in other cases an electrical fire could be the end result.
Crisscrossed Wiring
Just because your outlet generally works does not mean there are not problems with faulty wiring or a faulty electrical outlet installation. In some cases, even if the wiring has been improperly installed, the outlet will still function acceptably most of the time. If you are experiencing sporadic problems with equipment and appliances plugged into a specific outlet, it might be a symptom of crisscrossed wiring. Sometimes when outlets are installed, mistakes are made. In the case of crisscrossed wiring, the outlet may have been installed with the "hot" and "neutral" wires reversed on the terminal screws. Although appliances and equipment often still work when this situation exists, it can be quite dangerous. Crisscrossed wiring could cause damage to your electrical equipment, due to the reversed polarity. This wiring problem will also generally interfere with the grounding of an outlet, which can also cause damage. If this issue is discovered, the wiring should be fixed immediately to avoid potential problems.
Improper Outdoor Electrical Outlets
Improper outdoor electrical outlets are actually quite common, especially in older homes. Although modern electrical codes require the use of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt receptacles, often referred to as simply GFCIs, it was common in the past to install standard outlets outdoors. This can cause a very dangerous situation, since moisture is quite common in most outdoor environments. If you accidentally touch an outdoor outlet when it is wet, the fact that it is a GFCI could just save your life. Have all outdoor electrical outlets inspected periodically as a safety precaution, even if they are GFCI outlets, to ensure that water or moisture is not leaking into them.

Solar Panel Electricity - An Affordable Energy Source
Smart consumers today are looking no further than solar panel electricity as a natural and efficient energy source. The solar panel is a component used in a photovoltaic system to generate renewable energy from the sun that is used as electrical power in residential homes and commercial buildings.
The panels actually collect solar radiation found within the sun's rays and then convert those rays into energy which produces the electricity. The first solar panel was used to power a satellite made by Hoffman Electronics in 1958 and was used as the primary satellite energy source until the 1970's.
Solar panel electricity is a clean, natural and environmentally safe source of energy. Solar cells have been used to power calculators, outdoor light fixtures, street lights, satellites, water heating systems, air conditioners and heaters. Solar panels have become a great energy source for marine vehicles and recreational vehicles since they are a portable form of energy.
There is no need to plug in to an electric source while on the road or when boating. Solar generators are even available so you can take them camping in the great outdoors. They can heat water for a shower or keep your tent warm in the winter or cool in the summer. Solar panels will produce all the electricity you need for a great outdoor experience. They produce no harmful pollution compared to fossil burning fuels that produce toxic gases. The toxins are released into the atmosphere and are a danger to animals, plants and humans.
Since these panels renew the sun's energy at no cost to the consumer, once the initial hardware is purchased and installed there will be no future charges to renew the sun's energy. The sun is actually able to produce enough energy in the space of an hour to meet the needs of all mankind for the rest of their lives. The sun is a very powerful energy source and people are beginning to sit up and take notice of it. It is affordable and healthier for the planet as a wonderful way to discontinue or reduce the use of fossil fuels.
The federal and state governments continually offer rebates and tax incentives for consumers to purchase solar panel electricity in an effort to help offset the initial costs of setting up a solar energy system. These types of panels can be purchased from home improvement stores, building, heating and air conditioning contractors, and online merchandisers.
These sources can provide you with the most accurate information regarding prices, rebates and tax incentives on purchasing do-it-yourself kits or professional installation. Contact a solar specialist as soon as possible if you want to save money and help make your environment healthier.

History of Electricity - A Timeline of Innovation and Multiple Key Discoveries
The history of electricity is an interesting one. It outlines numerous inventions, key discoveries or milestones which collectively have brought us to where we are today. Understanding the evolution of the past and where we are today does contribute to what we should be doing going forward.
One of the first questions that arises when we think about the history or evolution of electricity is when electricity was invented or discovered and by who? In my opinion there does not seem to be a clear or single answer to this because electricity as we know it today is an outcome of multiple observations, inventions or key discoveries that took place over a extremely long period of time.
This timeline starts with the discovery of static electricity, invention of electric batteries, the concepts of voltage and Ohms law. From there direct current provided electricity to incandescent lights which was later replaced by alternating current. This was then distributed to homes on a widespread basis to address lighting and eventually appliances.
Returning now to today, just how do we generate electricity which we all take for granted? Electricity is generated or produced by several primary energy sources most notably coal, natural gas, nuclear power, petroleum. Some other renewable sources are hydro power, geothermal, solar, wind and biomass.
Why should we be concerned with understanding the history of electricity, timeline, discuss who invented or discovered it and how is it generated today?
The first main reason is to understand that the electricity is a secondary energy source. This means that it is generated from other primary energy sources. To draw out an example we can use the US. The Department of Energy has reported that during 2006 approximately 49% of the total electricity produced was generated from coal and about 19% from nuclear power generation. In terms of renewable sources, solar, wind, biomass and geothermal collectively generated about 5% of the overall electricity during the same period.
This helps me to introduce my second point which is the overall majority of electricity produced or generated in the US for this period was a result of using non-renewable energy sources. There is obviously a limitation further down the road which implies this course of action is not fully sustainable.
The last point to highlight is the journey or evolution of discoveries and innovations which have led us to where we are today will likely continue going forward. This implies that on-going usage of energy sources should be adapted, new or enhanced technologies that optimize electricity will ideally be deployed. The increased awareness today on energy conservation and renewable energy sources should act as a strong catalyst towards even further innovation over the coming years.
The take-away for consumers is we should collectively implement ways to conserve energy or more specifically save electricity wherever possible. In parallel to these energy conservation steps, adopting new renewable energy sources should be a key priority. The outcome ideally being to stimulate more innovation, similar to what we have see in the past.

The Basics Of Electricity
Simplest model of an atom
To ward the end of the 19th century, science was barreling along at an impressive pace. Automobiles andaircraft were on the verge of changing the way the world mov ed, and electric power was st eadily making its way into more and more homes. Yet even scientists of the day still viewed electricity as something vaguely mystical. It wasn't until 1897 that scientists discovered the existence ofelectrons -- and this is where electricity starts.
Matter, as you probably know, is composed of atoms. Break something down to small enough pieces and you wind up with a nucleus orbited by one or more electrons, each with a negative charge. In many materials, the electrons are tightly bound to the atoms. Wood, glass, plastic, ceramic, air, cotton -- these are all examples of materials in which electrons stick with their atoms. Because the electrons don't move, these materials can't conduct electricity very well, if at all. These materials areelectrical insulators.
Holy Electricity
In the late 19th century, electricity truly had a noble or even divine reputation -- to the extent that members of the scientific community protested the idea of the electric chair as a degradation of both electricity and the scientific breakthroughs that made electrocuting a criminal possible. What might these critics have thought of such modern marvels as the battery-powered blackhead remover or the dance-floor horror known as the electric slide?
Most metals, however, have electrons that can detach from their atoms and zip around. These are called free electrons. The loose electrons make it easy for electricity to flow through these materials, so they're known as electrical conductors. They conduct electricity. The moving electrons transmit electrical energy from one point to another.
Think of electrons as pet dogs and a negative charge as a case of fleas. Homes where the dogs lived inside or within a fenced-in area would be the equivalent of an electrical insulator. Homes where the pets roamed free, however, would be electrical conductors. If you had one neighborhood of indoor, pampered pugs and one neighborhood of unfenced, free-roaming basset hounds, which group do you think could spread an outbreak of fleas the fastest?
Dogs aside, electricity needs a conductor in order to move. There also has to be something to make the electricity flow from one point to another through the conductor. One way to get electricity flowing is to use a generator.

A liberal arts school in Detroit is shutting down its undergraduate programs next year due to declining enrollment.
Marygrove College officials say Wednesday that beginning in January only master's degree programs will be offered.
President Elizabeth Burns says "vigorous marketing and recruitment efforts have failed to provide sufficient revenue from our undergraduate programs to continue operations as usual."
Marygrove was founded in 1905 and moved to Detroit about 90 years ago. Its enrollment peaked in 2013 with more than 1,850 graduate and undergraduate students. Total enrollment dropped to 966 by last fall.
Other liberal arts colleges across the country are feeling similar pangs due to revenue losses from enrollment drops. Some like Trinity Lutheran University in Everett, Washington, and Marian Court College in Swampscott, Massachusetts, have ended operations.

The Best Moisture Gauges and Sensors
If you search on moisture sensor and gauges online, there are varying results from soil moisture sensors, to wood moisture sensors and humidity sensors. In this article, we will talk about the different types of moisture gauges and sensors, its uses and benefits. We will learn the best features and product ratings available in the market today.
For soil moisture gauges and sensors, it primarily measure the soil's volumetric water content by indirectly using other properties of soil like dielectric constant, electrical resistance, or neutrons interaction which are considered proxy for the soil's moisture content. These proxy should be well calibrated with soil moisture, and this depends on the soil type, electric conductivity or temperature. For measuring soil moisture, gardeners and farmers use portable instruments, and for remote sensing in agriculture and hydrology, the soil moisture affects reflected microwave radiation. Water potential can also be measured by soil water potential sensors and it includes tensiometers and gypsum blocks.
It is important that before using a wood, you should know its moisture content for you to be assured of its stability. The two types of wood moisture meters in the market today are pin and pinless moisture meters, wherein both types measure the effect of moisture on an electromagnetic field (pinless) or an electromagnetic current (pin). Pinless meters are portable that it can be taken into the lumberyard for testing the wood before buying it, and it can scan an entire board without putting holes on it. Pin meters take readings no matter what the wood size, shape and degree of roughness it has, requiring two pins making in contact with the wood. You can allow usage of remote probes or nails for pin meters or pin sensors, which can be driven at the center of a thick lumber for core wood moisture readings that cannot be reached by pinless meters.
Before buying your own moisture meter or moisture sensor, you need to take into consideration the pin length, moisture content range, minimum sample size, displays, and built in temperature correction and built-in species. The rule of the thumb is you need a longer pin length for thicker board or wood which is 1/4 of its thickness, and this applies for even moisture gradient where the surface is drier compared to its core. Moisture sensor displays come in four types such as analog, LED, digital LCD, and digital LED.
Be well-informed, you can read product ratings and reviews where you can buy the best moisture sensor and gauges in the market today, only from the most trusted and reliable dealers and manufacturers.

Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor
Our newest advisory, Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor, has doubled investors' money eight times in the past 12 months—all by identifying deeply undervalued opportunities that have been spooked by sensationalized daily news stories.
Led by Chief Analyst Crista Huff, this advisory's goal is to assist you in outperforming the major U.S. stock market indexes, while minimizing risk by screening many hundreds of stocks for growth, value and bullish technical charts. A few of our winners to date include Universal Electronics (+120%), Vulcan Materials Company (+127%), SanDisk (+128%), Intuit (+117%) and Abercrombie & Fitch (+118%).
"I appreciate so much the completeness and precision of your commentaries about your stock choices and evaluations."—G. Savant, Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada
You'll also receive access to our two popular investing daily digests, where you get one top recommendation in your email box each morning from each one of them, along with an easy-to-read digest of 30 to 35 top recommendations each month from …
Wall Street's Best Investments
Published for 46 years, this daily investing service brings you the top growth recommendations from 200 top Wall Street stock analysts, researchers and advisors, including John Bollinger, Jim Oberweis, Bob Brinker, Harry Domash and Dr. Steven Leeb—just to name a few.
Edited by analyst Nancy Zambell, this service has helped readers gain profits that have been simply breathtaking: +1,683% in Questcor from Richard Schmidt's Stellar Stocks Alert, +857% in Baidu from Charles B. Carlson, CFA, Drip Investor, +728% in Valeant Pharmaceuticals from Ronald Sadoff's Major Trends, + 545% in SanDisk from George Putnam, III, The Turnaround Letter, +389% in Headwaters from Nick Hodge, Alternative Energy Speculator and 367% in Core Labs from Joseph Parnes, Shortex Market Letter.
"I have nine stocks you have recommended in the past three months, and every one is still making a profit. WOW!"—W. Barbour
Wall Street's Best Dividend Stocks
Just as Wall Street's Best Investments brings you the top growth stocks in the market, this daily service (also edited by Nancy Zambell) brings you the highest-yielding and safest dividend-paying investments from top Wall Street income analysts, including Roger Conrad, Charles B. Carlson, Jack Adamo and John Dobosz.
With Wall Street's Best Dividend Stocks at your side, you'll always have access to the market's top dividend stocks across the entire universe of income opportunities, including high-yield, growth and income, REITs, mutual funds, ETFs and more.
"From previous editions I picked five winners because of your detailed reports of these companies. Thanks!"—H.G. Jaeger
Cabot's 10 Best Marijuana Stocks
Our recently launched new quarterly advisory features the 10 best marijuana stocks.
As marijuana becomes increasingly legal in both the U.S. and Canada, it makes sense for growth-oriented investors to pay attention to marijuana stocks. The opportunities are much bigger than most investors realize. With more than 105 publicly traded marijuana stocks, not all of those are or will be profitable investments. We take the guessing off your plate, and present ten well-researched stocks with good fundamentals and profit potential in one report, published and updated quarterly.
"Great analysis of the industry and great selection of profitable stocks. Very glad I joined!"-H.M
When you add everything up, these nine services would cost you $3,585 per year.
That's a steal of a deal when you consider how they've, together, doubled our readers' money 281 times to date.
However, you won't pay anything near that.
You'll receive them all FREE as part of your annual membership fee.
That's the whole reason we created Cabot Prime:
- To give you a complete all-in-one investing service that ensures you profit across the entire universe of Cabot recommendations for one low price and …

- Cabot's Guarantee: Just as with our other Cabot advisories, you can cancel any time within the first 30 days and receive a refund on the balance of the membership, no questions asked.
That's What Makes Joining Cabot Prime an Even Greater
Value Than Subscribing to All of Our Advisories Individually
A service that brings you rock-solid growth stocks, fast trades, rising income plays and personal guidance from all nine of our market-beating advisories.
That was our goal in creating Cabot Prime: to give our members the most profitable investment advice on the planet and at the lowest possible cost.
In order to do that, we must limit our Cabot Prime membership to just 50 members—and for three reasons.
- Because many of the higher-performing recommendations may be early-stage technologies, fast-moving biotechs or thinly traded opportunities, we must keep the numbers small because we want YOU to be the first to profit from them before Wall Street bids them higher.
- Because Cabot Prime represents a more personalized approach to investing, with direct contact with all six of our analysts, we cannot accept too many members, or we won't be able to give you the personal service that comes with this new approach.
- We also wanted to give our faithful Cabot readers the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something exciting and new that we believe will become the most profitable all-in-one investing service on Wall Street.
The best way for me to ensure that you will get the service and the results I've promised here is to limit our service to 50 members at this time.
Again, that's what makes Cabot Prime such an incredibly special value. Because it not only gives you the first shot at many new moneymaking opportunities … but also allows you to pick the brains of all of our Cabot analysts, which is not possible with a bigger group.
To make sure you don't miss this …
Our Special Charter Member Price Makes
You a Winner Right from the Start
If you have read this far, you can tell that Cabot Prime is a different kind of service—one that:
- Brings you every one of our recommendations and stock ideas across nine of our advisories, and
- Is more personal than anything else we have ever developed—giving you direct and personal analyst access, which is rare in the investing world.
As such, it costs more than your typical newsletter, because it brings you many more recommendations, results and one-on-one interaction.
While it's not cheap, once I break down the membership savings it brings you, you'll agree it's a tremendous bargain.
As a Cabot Prime member, you'll get full access to:
Cabot Dividend Investor $297 INCLUDED Cabot Growth Investor $497 INCLUDED Cabot Emerging Markets Investor $397 INCLUDED Cabot Stock of the Week $997 INCLUDED Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor $297 INCLUDED Cabot Top Ten Trader $397 INCLUDED Wall Street's Best Dividend Stocks $147 INCLUDED Wall Street's Best Investments $197 INCLUDED Cabot's 10 Best Marijuana Stocks $359 INCLUDED
Total Value $3,585
However, as a member, you'll pay just a fraction of that—just $1,997 for a one-year membership.
That's 44% less than what you would pay to sign up for these services otherwise and comes to less than $6 a day.
Again, at this price, you'll not only receive one-on-one access to all of our Cabot analysts, but also a $1,300 discount to our annual Cabot Wealth Summit.
- Plus, you'll get access to four of our premium reports, A Richer Retirement—Cabot's Retirement Handbook, Cabot's 10 Best Takeover Stocks by Crista Huff, Cabot's 10 Best Covered Calls on Dividend Stocks and Cabot's 10 Best Small-Cap Cloud Computing Stocks to Buy Now. Priced together at $189, you'll receive these reports absolutely free.I'm sure you'll agree that with our money-back guarantee, that's quite a bargain, considering you can cancel any time within the first 30 days and receive a refund on the balance of the membership, no questions asked.
Naturally, I couldn't offer you such a strong guarantee if we didn't believe that Cabot Prime would deliver as promised. With our 48-year track record for building wealth, I have a feeling you won't be disappointed.
That's because you'll gain full access to all nine Cabot advisories so that you'll never have to worry about missing out on rock-solid growth stocks, fast trades, rising income plays, or undervalued or international opportunities.
You'll get them all FREE as part of your annual membership fee.
The last time we opened the membership to the public, we filled all of our spots in less than 72 hours.
So don't wait.
To make sure you don't miss this opportunity to get in on the ground floor of this all-in-one advisory, click here now.
You'll automatically secure your space and lock in your savings. And the best part is, you have absolutely nothing to risk by responding to my invitation today.
Either way, I want to thank you for the loyalty that you have shown us over the years and for considering this exclusive Charter Membership offer to join us at Cabot Prime.

Timothy Lutts,

at this point, it's probably been pretty well established that our hero janklow is not a big fan of the holidays (at least among our thirteen avid readers, anyway); as such, beyond the token "this is this week's introduction," further discussion of said point is QUITE redundant.
that said… i do occasionally try to get into the spirit of the season and savor the very brief moments when mankind actually acts their age over the holidays. it's not completely impossible; there's always little moments such as when anonymous donors pay off Kmart layaway accounts or just the generic "watching people stuff cash in those Salvation Army buckets" thing. and to borrow a notion from Patton Oswalt (specifically one from his Finest Hour album, available at fine retailers everywhere), it's possible for me to look at this and think to myself, "we're going to make it!"
…only for my version of his avatar of sloth, the avatar of These Goddamn Holidays, to rear its ugly-but-expected head:
all the below being said, i do admit "a map of Maryland" is a pretty lousy gift. it's not the most scenic state to look at in map form
yes, okay, i understand that every generation says the one after it is the worst of all time and that in doing so, i'm not breaking any new ground. and surely many, many members of MY generation (or even the one before it) were just as bitchy on Christmas, so it's not like some stuck-up teenage girl in 2011 is the first girl who ever reacted badly when daddy failed to buy her that car she TOTALLY deserves, like, OMG!
so perhaps the actual problem isn't so much that these kids should all die in a fire clutching their greed, but that all this cutting-edge social media is exposing MY precious sensibilities to it. when i was a child, i couldn't tell everyone on the internet how much MY parents had fucked me over because they didn't buy me an iPad or an iPhone or whatever else Apple told all these children their parents would have bought them if only they loved them.
sadly, "Christina Nicole," you have managed to make yourself sound about as greedy as possible
so yes, i blame Twitter for this. and with the kind of irony only someone complaining about his petty problems and opinions on a crude internet blog can manage, i completely resent them for allowing the average person to live out the fantasy that everyone on the internet might care about their random constant thoughts. i at least have the decency to only post updates around once a week, and usually INCREDIBLY late, at that.
but surely there isn't anything else about the holidays and/or humanity that i find soul-crushing…
i am hoping this guy in the red shirt is as outraged as i am
new Air Jordans still incite shopper violence 9 years after player's retirement
oh, wait, there's the whole "must have this product so badly that i go completely berserk for it and maybe trample a guy to death in a Wal-Mart." although i think that trampling thing happened in 2008, so i'm admittedly mixing my narratives up on this one.
"Almost nine years into the basketball legend's retirement, a new version of Michael Jordan athletic shoes can still send fans into a mad frenzy: Stores nationwide were the scenes of violence and police officer injuries Friday, authorities said."
although i DO like the vague notion that this happened because people are still stirred up about Michael Jordan, even well after his retirement. please note the following, news agencies: no one cares about Michael Jordan. they care about expensive, trendy shoes.
"In Richmond, California, police investigated a gunshot fired outside a mall where the latest version of shoes named after Jordan went on sale for about $180 a pair Friday morning, police told CNN affiliate KGO. A 24-year-old Richmond man was taken into custody in connection with the gunfire, said police Lt. Lori Curran. "It appears right now it may have been just a negligent discharge," Curran said."
well, i certainly hope so, because otherwise we're not so much talking "shooting someone for their expensive shoes" as much as "shooting someone for the RIGHT TO BUY expensive shoes." i imagine that, at the very least, they'll be checking your ID extra closely if you follow up murder by firearm with trying to pay for those shoes with a credit card.
and America had many problems in regards to these shoes, including my own great state of Maryland, where:
"Crowds overwhelmed shopping malls, a Montgomery County police officer was assaulted and several people were arrested locally in the frenzy surrounding the release of a new model of Air Jordans. The shoes, which went on sale overnight Thursday, were even rumored to have led to the death of a Washington area man."
it turned out to be just a rumor, at least. my local mall apparently ALSO saw a fight break out over these sneakers. seriously, Americans, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. this is all over shoes?
"On Friday afternoon, eBay was featuring new pairs of the Air Jordan Retro XI selling between $219.99 and $510."
and in some respects, this is really the saddest part of all: people weren't even going berserk to own these rare shoes, but rather, to sell them on the internet for a $40-$330 profit.
anyway, i guess i should cut the internet some slack because it DOES do me a pretty solid favor: every time i think there might be some amount of hope for humanity, the internet quickly disabuses me of that notion. so actually, thanks, internet!
but in the interest of fairness, i should note that not ALL was bad with Christmas for our hero this year:
this awesome little robot is making me some tea so that i will calm the fuck down. happy holidays, everyone.

The trip to Washburn-Norlands was included in the Maine Journey to acquaint the participants with life as it was a century or more ago. Contact for an adventure at Washburn-Norlands may be made with....[who] would be more than happy to send you pertinent literature concerning activities available.
The Washburn-Norlands site is located in Livermore, Maine. The site consists of five 19th century buildings. Norlands is a registered National Historic Site. The site offers a variety of programs for both adults and students. Programs vary from day-time activities to live-ins where participants are involved for a number of days and remain at Norlands overnight.
Programs which are covered during the period of a day include: "A Typical Day in School in the 1840's", "Life in Rural Maine 1840-1880", "The Busy Cradle", and "A Visit to The Farm". Combinations of these programs may be given for larger groups.
It is necessary that arrangements for your tour be made in adance. Group rates are available. For example, Journey I: "A Typical Day in School in the 1840's" costs $25.00 for up to 24 students. Each additional student above 24 costs $1.00. Journey II: "Life in Rural Maine 1840-1880" costs $55.00 for up to 24 students; students above 24 cost $2.00 each. In Journey II students participate in preparing an authentic noon meal.
In all of the programs, participants are drawn back into time and live the life as it was a century ago. Activities are representative of the season in which one visits. Students do housework, such as scrubbing clothes, ironing, washing dishes, doing "chamber" work. Meals are cooked each day and authentic menus vary. Crafts such as rug hooking, weaving and patchwork are also done. Outdoor activities include working in the fields, gardening, cutting fire wood, working in the barn and making maple sugar.
This program was pehaps the most educational as indicated by the student and staff evaluations. We recommend if your tour group is large that two days be spent at Norlands thereby allowing each participant to fully experience JourneyI (School) and Journey II (Farm).
A must visit for students and adults.

Staff Rating - 4.0

"I got the idea for this one from all the 'money saving' tips that you see on both TV and the internet that really don't save the average intelligent person any money. Cook at home (duh), brown bag it to lunch (duh), make a list before you go shopping (duh), buy in bulk (duh), buy generics (duh), and my favorite is about Starbucks. Instead of buying a $6.50 Latte every morning, brew your own coffee."
