The Diversity Programme was established with the aim of cultivating an inclusive, sustainable, diverse and vibrant physics community which is reflected in the Institute's membership and governing bodies.
We will work towards an Institute which will actively promote physics to all, so that ultimately the physics community will welcome and be representative of the population at large, with no barrier to anyone participating in physics as appropriate to their interests and ability.
The Diversity Programme achieves this by:
- Commissioning research on diversity in physics education and the physics community
- Monitoring diversity in the Institute's membership, governing bodies and activities
- Providing guidance and support on diversity issues, to the Institute's groups, boards and committees; physics-based companies and university physics departments
- Linking into projects run by other parts of the Institute and external organisations to maximise impact
The Institute recognises that the case for diversity is more than just legislative; there is a clear business and moral case. We live and work in an increasingly diverse society and successful implementation of equality and diversity in all aspects of the Institute's work will ensure that colleagues, staff, members of the Institute and the physics community at large are valued, motivated and treated equitably.
Our current initiatives include Project Juno to address employment equality in university physics departments; a longitudinal study to determine physicist career paths after graduation; a pilot project to look at ways to encourage minority ethnic students to continue studying physics at university level; a survey of postdoctoral researchers' experience and career plans; and a biennial lecture in honour of Elizabeth Johnson MBE.
Within external resources you will find links to external groups and organisations which are also working to address diversity and inclusion issues.
The programme is overseen by the Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
If you would like to share your views or have any comments relating to diversity and inclusion in the physics community please contact us, we warmly welcome your input.

WhiteFly Invasion
The Whitefly arrived in Florida in 2009. Today it is found from the Florida Keys to the Palm Beaches. Areas infested leave a "hineydew-like" like film on pools that rapidly depletes chlorine. A favorite host to the white fly is the coconut palm, often found near pools. If you are experiencing rapid chlorine depletion that cannot be explained by any other means, contact you pool professional.

When he stumbles by chance into a backstreet teashop to shelter from the unrelenting Taipei rain, the author begins a journey that will lead him to the wisdom of the Adept Shun Yuan of the Heavenly Dragon sect, an order of esoteric Buddhism laced with Taoist practices. He discovers the internal arts of chi kung and bagua and diligently practises them, and begins to see the places and people around him in a new light. However, his journey with the Adept is not without its challenges, and the author has to look to his very core to overcome the obstacles that stand in his way. Will he be able to harness the transformative energy of the dragon? Or will the wisdom of this elusive creature be beyond his grasp?
Keywords: autobiography, memoirs, qigong, tai chi, taiji jian, taiji quan

Dr. Marc S. Micozzi explains the fundamentals of Chinese medicine, and the indigenous medicines of Greater China, in some detail - how they have evolved, the fundamental principles, and where they are drawn from - hence putting them into social and philosophical context. Normally these medical systems are studied in isolation, so this is a work of considerable originality. He covers Korea and Japan and, in extending the coverage to East and Southeast Asia, he also explores the indigenous medicines from those regions and the influence of China and Chinese medicine, while acknowledging the pull towards other cultural influences, such as India.

Long before Tai Chi and Qigong became household names in the West, an American sailor visiting Shanghai discovered a gentle Chinese exercise called Jiangan - The Chinese Health Wand. This exercise system is simple yet potent and involves the manipulation of a lightweight pole traditionally made of bamboo.

Animal Tracks for 11-20-2012
By: Terry McDaniel
Updated: November 20, 2012
This weeks Animal Tracks features some very lovable animals who are in need of good homes.
PIPER, (last chance), is a playful young cat who craves attention and companionship. She has pretty calico-tabby fur that is medium long and is about 1 year old. She is active and outgoing and will do well in most any home. This will be her last week to find that home.
EMMA, is a spunky, outgoing, playful little 5 month old kitten. Her fur is grey and white and her nose is grey on a white background. Sweet and happy, she will be fine in any home.
MORRIS, is such a big baby. When he meows, he sometimes squeaks. When he has won you over with his little squeaks, he will seal the deal with his sweet disposition.
ROMA, is a stunning long haired calico with loads of personality. She thinks she is a princess, and would love to be treated as such.
KRINGLE, is so handsome and sweet, it will be love at first sight. He is tall and lean, and his solid white fur is only outdone by his handsome yellow/green eyes.
JETSON (last chance), is almost too unique to even describe. He is a shar-pei and lab mix with a silly face and personality to match. He loves everyone he meets, is a happy dog and does fine with others. He would be a wonderful family dog. This will be his last week to find that family.
DORIE, is a dog who loves to play with her chew toys. The first thing you notice are her perky ears, and then she will warm your heart with her wonderful personality. She is fine with kids and other dogs.
HANK, is just a big baby who only wants to please. He is very docile but would be a great outside dog to let you know when company has arrived. He would make a good outside dog.
STORMY, is a pretty bulldog mix, who snorts when she is happy. She may look like a big tough girl, but really just wants to be a lap dog. She is extremely friendly.
BAMA, is a quirky little girl who is not too sure about life at the shelter. She has a cute scruffy coat and craves attention, but will need a little time and love to adjust to her new home.
If you are willing to adopt any of these wonderful animals please contact the Dothan Animal Shelter at 615-4620.

It's not bad, but it gets boring fast, and is quite difficult
The betas were all very buggy, but now that it is stable the problem is that it gets boring fast. It is also quite easy to die in some areas.
I would have preferred more linear quests, and in order of difficulty. You can easily get in over your head, and you don't always know where to go.
It is enjoyable for a while, but only about a few hours, and then it just gets repetitive and difficult.
Another thing I don't like is the spellblaze theme, but that's just IMO.

Betsey was born in Connecticut and spent her childhood in dance classes. Her aspirations to be a dancer and her love for costumes laid the foundation for Betsey's creativity and inspiration, which is still evident in her designs today. After a decade of designing for other labels, Betsey decided to make a dramatic change in her life and in 1978, she formed a partnership with Chantal Bacon and started the Betsey Johnson label. Since then, Betsey has expanded into handbags, lingerie, footwear, belts, eyewear, watches, costume jewelry, swimwear, leg wear, outerwear and a fragrance.

GOMA, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 23 November 2010 – DR Congo took a major step toward eradicating polio this month with the second round of a mass immunization campaign targeting children under the age of five in nine provinces.
VIDEO: 28 October 2010 - UNICEF's Ndiaga Seck reports on the second round of a massive polio immunization campaign in DR Congo. Watch in RealPlayer |
"All children have the same right to be protected from polio," said UNICEF Representative in DR Congo Pierrette Vu Thi. Failure to translate this right into reality today, she added, "will be expensive tomorrow, in terms of human lives and resources."
The initiative in DR Congo is part of a synchronized mass immunization campaign covering 72 million children across the African continent. A total of 290,000 vaccinators and social mobilizers – including more than 71,000 in DR Congo – are delivering two drops of oral polio vaccine to every child under five in areas considered at highest risk of polio transmission in 16 countries.

Felicien Molima, head of the UNICEF office for North Kivu and Maniema Provinces, gives oral polio vaccine to a child during the immunization campaign in DR Congo. |
"A mother should have her child vaccinated if she loves them, to ensure they have good health," declared a mother whose child was vaccinated in Goma, North Kivu Province.
Reaching every child
As of 18 November, 56 polio cases had been registered in DR Congo, including 47 cases in Kasai Occidental Province – the epicentre of the epidemic – as well as 6 in Bandundu and 3 in Katanga. Polio re-emerged in the country with 13 cases in 2006, followed by 41 cases in 2007, 5 in 2008 and 3 in 2009.
Among the major factors behind the re-emergence of polio in Kasai Occidental is the lack of full immunization coverage in remote, poor areas, and particularly among the poorest and most disadvantaged families.

Children wait for their polio vaccinations in Goma, located in North Kivu Province, DR Congo. |
To leave no child out, UNICEF and its partners advocated for the mass immunization campaign to be conducted even in areas controlled by armed groups, many of which are active in North Kivu. "So we managed to sensitize all those armed groups for a cease-fire, in order to vaccinate children," said North Kivu Provincial Health Minister Valerian Mbalu Twirandi.
Routine immunization
The vaccination drive is funded by UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USAID, Rotary International and the Governments of Germany and Japan. Early next year, DR Congo will conduct additional polio immunization efforts as part of the synchronized campaign in West Africa.
"To achieve long-lasting results, high-quality immunization campaigns must be complemented by enhanced routine immunization and strong disease surveillance," said Dr. Matthieu Kamwa, head of the World Health Organization in DR Congo. "Funding gaps must be covered to ensure that our efforts achieve their goals, by completing the next steps of the worldwide initiative for polio eradication."

I like the game a lot, but I'm terrible MMORPG player, I just get bored, when I get to max level. I feel my most enjoyment is from leveling. That said, I think, I can't play RPG games without dodge anymore. Combat dynamic is great, but I can't stay playing rpgs a lot, being a FPS player. I feel at least, I am always welcome to GW2 more, unlike most other MMORPGS I've played.
Hear from the spirit-world this mystery:
Creation is summed up, O man, in thee;
Angel and demon, man and beast art thou,
Yea, thou art all thou dost appear to be!
Gargh! Stop using odd acronyms! I thought you were talking about Tesco, or the (imaginary) Japanese animal dating and fighting game Turtle Elephant Super Orangutan.
Certainly they will look at such a payment structure, they'd be silly not to, but something makes me think they'll opt for some ghastly hybrid subscrition/F2P model or microtransaction hell. Either way, I don't think they'll capture what made TES TES, and so, just another MMORPG.
My bad - I was talking about Turtle Elephant etc. No wait...
Definitely agree on the latter point Feldspar. Hard to see that one excelling.

CLEVELAND -- Wide receiver Plaxico Burress is active and will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will not have Antonio Brown when they face the Browns.
Burress was re-signed earlier this week by the Steelers, who drafted him in 2000. Burress was needed because of injuries to Brown (ankle) and Jerricho Cotchery (ribs). Emmanuel Sanders will start for Brown, who was listed as questionable all week and was limited in practice.
As expected, safety Troy Polamalu (calf) and quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) and Byron Leftwich (ribs) are inactive forcing the Steelers to start 37-year-old QB Charlie Batch.
Browns cornerback Joe Haden is active after missing last week's game in Dallas with an abdominal injury. Also, cornerback Buster Skrine will play after sustaining a concussion last week.

text: This is my first shot with the Hv20. I went to Portugal to visit my parents and I found my old guitar and decided to have some fun. I simply placed the HV20 on different locations and "shot my self". It took like 10 or 15 minutes. It actually came up pretty nice, with the exception of the sound (recorded directly with the HV20's mic). I have to say that even though I miss having the manual control my Xh-A1 has, this small little camera is pretty cool to take anywhere you want.

One of the common problems I always run into when running really large batch load processes (millions of update) is how to handle large transaction sizes. More often then not, I have to add two extra columns to my data and perform lots of mini transactions (new transactions) followed by one large "update" which makes all the new records live, and/or deletes the records being replaced. The first column added ties a record to a particular update job and the second column indicates if that record is live or in the process of being added (this usually coincides with a database view over the data for the production instance which only shows "live" records). This is a particularly tricky operation, and performing cleanup if the batch process fails is also now not as easy as relying on a normal transaction to take on the processing. What I'd like to see is something to make this easier... any ideas?
I guess one option would be to generalise some of the code I wrote to do this and allow people to plug in their DAO of choice to actually store the records. The project I was working on previously was an open source biodiversity portal so there shouldn't be any issues as far as code sharing - just time to generalise the code into an acceptable solution.

After attempting to break into a Laurinburg home on Tuesday, three juveniles were arrested for first degree burglary, according to police.
Around 8 p.m., 71-year-old Walter Moore answered a knock on the door at his Ashley Drive home. When he began to open the door, three "young juveniles," one of whom displayed a weapon, tried to force their way inside. Following a brief struggle inside the doorway, Moore was able to force the intruders out and close the door.
The weapon in question was discovered to be a Daisy BB gun.
"Mr. Moore was struck several times during the incident but was not seriously injured and did not require medical attention," said Lt. Cliff Sessoms of the Laurinburg Police Department.
Authorities believe that the suspects were attempting to steal from Moore's home. Moore did not recognize the assailants, and their reason for targeting him is unknown at this time.
On Wednesday, the three juveniles were arrested and charged. Two of them, both aged 13, were transported to a juvenile detention facility after being charged with conspiracy, first degree burglary, and assault.
The other suspect, aged 16, originally stated that he was younger than his true age. He was charged with conspiracy, attempted robbery, first degree burglary, assault, and resist delay and obstruct and placed in the Scotland County Detention Center under a $75,000 secured bond.

Complaints can be made to us about a high hedge where:
We are able to use our powers under Part 8 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 to act as an adjudicator between the people involved. The legislation to deal with high hedges under this Act was introduced on 31 December 2004.
The hedge should be:
The owner or occupier of the property that is affected by the hedge. If you are a tenant or leaseholder, you should let the owner know what you are doing. The property does not have to be wholly residential, but must include some living accommodation. Otherwise we cannot consider the complaint.
We can only accept a complaint as a last resort. You must show that you have tried to resolve the problem with the hedge owner. You should have taken the following steps:
If these requirements have been met, you can make a complaint.
You will need to provide us with evidence that you have tried to settle the dispute yourself before we will consider your complaint. This is not a free service and an investigation will cost you £320.
If you wish to make a complaint to us you will need to complete an application form and return it to us with the £320 fee. To discuss your complaint and for an application form call 01495 235209 during office hours.
Our role is to act as an impartial third party to adjudicate on whether the hedge is affecting the reasonable enjoyment of the complainant's property.
For guidance on complaining about high hedges, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) has produced some useful leaflets that are available to download below:
High hedges – complaining to the council (External PDF)
Over the garden hedge (External PDF)
Hedge height and light loss (External PDF)
Our Public Protection team will also be happy to offer any further advice calling 01495 235209 or sending an email to email@example.com.

To buy a box of exquisite hand dipped strawberries, you'll likely have to fork over a handful of cash, but many people find that it's worth it once they indulge in this delectable treat. That being said, there are some varieties of chocolate on the market that require more than just pocket change - think a paycheck (or two!). If you want to take your love of this sweet treat to a new level, consider the following list of some of the most expensive chocolates in the world.
The Royal Collection from Cocoa Gourmet
BornRich.com reports that if you like your chocolate covered in diamonds, gold and silver, the The Royal Collection from Cocoa Gourmet is right up your alley. This isn't your normal box of chocolate truffles - the Cocoa Gourmet contains 12 bars of chocolate, all of which are wrapped in diamonds, gold and silver, which are edible and deemed safe by international food industry standards. This product is listed at $1,250.
Wispa Gold
The Cadbury company is renowned for crafting everything from delectable chocolate bunnies to cream eggs during the Easter season, but they have a luxurious side for those who don't mind splurging on this delicious treat. The Wispa Gold candy bar from Cadbury is filled with caramel and wrapped in gold leaf, according to TravelsInTaste.com. For approximately $1,567, you can purchase one of these limited edition foods from the company - and many people have.
Noka Chocolate
Most people wouldn't assume that some of the most expensive chocolate in the world comes from Dallas, Texas, but the producers of Noka chocolate have made this a reality, according to Forbes.com. The Noka Vintages Collection is composed of chocolate that is derived from fine ingredients located in Venezuela, Cote d'Ivoire, Trinidad and Ecuador. Furthermore, the manufacturer guarantees that the chocolate is 75 percent pure. For $854 per pound, you can indulge in this sweet treat.
This truffle will change what you know about the traditional candy that you eat on a special occasion - the Chocopologie was created by Fritz Knipschildt, who founded Knipschildt Chocolatier in 1999, according to Forbes.com. With his training in Denmark, he used his knowledge to create the Chocopologie truffle candy, which is filled with black truffle as well as truffle oil. It is only available on a pre-order basis and has a price tag of $2,600 per pound.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

100% of people who participate in a triathlon die.
It's always during the swim. Three deaths this year in the U.S. in triathlons...
More Cowbell!
When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
I think you're more likely to die driving to and from the race than actually participating in it.
You're probably several orders of magnitude more likely to get hurt on the drive to the race than during the race. But that wouldn't make a good news story, now would it?
TRIing to beat the heat!

"Baby Doll" later showed up in mediocre slasher RUSH WEEK (1991).
I love this movie. It is a CULT CLASSIC PEOPLE, like a "MTV vidiot Repo Man" or something.
Rush Rush Get The Yayo!
I recall you doing an entry about a film called "Rush Week" during your examination of frat boy flicks.
The scenes that place at Belinda's loft look like they were filmed in the same neighbourhood Repo Man was filmed.
I will have much more to comment when I catch my breath. :D
This film looks and sounds in-sane! Definitely adding this to my must-see list.
@Karim Amir: The phrase "We love the Swanky Modes" finally makes sense.
@Strange Kid: It's definitely not sane. :)
Okay, I'm back. By the way, what is going on in your country? The mail, the airline? And I had to hang my head in shame when I did not get the "l'unifolié" Canadian flag question on Jeopardy! the other night. Take away my honorary citizenship.
I still guffaw when I watch the "Baby Doll" video. Something about all those feathers cracks me up.
The commentary to this film is great--Fishman, Nesmith, and Catherine Hardwicke, who would go on to direct Thirteen and Twilight. My favorite part of the commentary was the trivia about a ditched subplot with the little person from Fantasy Island. That subplot, of course, didn't make it to the final version. You know what that means? Director's cut! A girl can hope.
Glass Tiger > Missing Persons. But you know how much I dig CanCon. I guess I wouldn't have liked it as much if I had, you know, actually had to be subjected to 60% Canadian material.
I've had chicken and waffles, but never together.
I was hoping that Robbins would have yelled "We love the Swanky Modes" when he won his Oscar. Apparently, he and Cusack have all but disowned the film. Darn shame.
Go Canucks!
Yeah, tell me about it.
I mean, where's my issue of Entertainment Weekly?!?
The weather's nice, though.
John Cusack's tie nearly got in the fan.
Hervé Villechaize! (Susan Tyrrell and Hervé used to be an item.)
The commentary track on the Tapeheads DVD has a habit of making one appreciate Catherine Hardwicke's work on the movie a whole lot more (I liked her bit about stacking black chairs and yellow oil drums).
Glass Tiger played my high school. So, my opinion of them was formed as a perpetually annoyed teenager.
I've probably had chicken and waffles on the same day, but, like you said, never together.
Disowned? WTF? People who appear in movies such as Must Love Dogs have lost the right to disown anything.
Stop Harper! :D

How to Store Pattern Pieces Patterns are expensive, and reusable, so why not hold on to them a little longer? Learn how to store pattern pieces so they last with these great ideas. Iron Those Pattern Pieces by Barb Culbertson When I am sewing and I am done with a pattern piece, I fold it and iron it flat. Then I stick it back into the envelope. No problem! The pieces fit back into the envelope very easy! Save Those Pattern Pieces by Gene Blythe Press all pattern pieces with a warm iron. Start folding in middle and fold again. LOOK for words and numbers on pattern piece. Fold the piece down keeping the words (size, Pattern Number etc) showing on the "outside." Keep folding down into a size that fits the envelope. Match the instruction sheet. Keep each piece separate, so you can pick out the piece you need, easily, from the pile, because the words are showing. You never know when you will need to look at a piece for any reason. If you have many patterns going at the same time, you can separate them much more easily to repackage. I press and trim all my patterns the first thing. Even young people can help sort and repackage. Always cut the "notches" outward in case you need that seam allowance to ease out a bit. Patterns cost too much today to not use over, so care for your patterns properly. Related ProjectsRelated Products to Buy from CutRateCrafts.com - save 15-30% |

When it comes to tourism, Nepal has all the resources to have good revenues. Record shows that among the 10 highest mountains in the world, 8 of them will be found in Nepal. For this fact, Nepal became a tourist sport known for some of its adventures like – mountain climbing, rock climbing, and other sort of exciting activities.
Nepal tourism also offers perfect spots for mountain biking, bungee jumping, bird watching, flights, gliding with parachute, riding hot air balloon over the Himalaya Mountains, discovering the waterways by raft or canoe, jungle expedition, and trekking. Journey in Nepal is very interesting especially if one takes the activities with a group and with all the stuff and gears; especially footwear which is very important in such adventures. And speaking of shoes apt for the said adventures, some people would consider Adio Footwear as this have been proven to be very efficient and comfortable when used in hiking and riding.
Journey in Nepal does not only involve fun and adventure but also gives great pleasure to the pilgrims who purposely visit Nepal to check out the religious sites like Pashupatinah Temple; the world's largest of Shiva, a Hindu deity. Hinduism is the main religion of Nepal but some people also believe in Buddhism as Gautama Buddha was born Hindu. Tour on different religious sites can really be a long walk as some of these pilgrimage sites are situated in valleys and mountains.
If anyone decides on visiting Nepal, he should look forward to one great moment on wilderness, adventure and experience of inner peace as to the positive influence of their religious beliefs. Mount Everest as the world's highest peak truly makes Nepal tourism remarkable. For having such recognition, Nepal was able to attract more tourists who also took part in rearing their culture.

Simon & Garfunkel's classic track "The Sound of Silence" has been selected for preservation by America's Library of Congress, sealing the song's status as a national treasure.
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's ballad, written in response to President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination, is among 25 works that will join the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry (NRR).
Garfunkel tells the Associated Press he is thrilled to have his work chosen for the honor, which is bestowed on recordings considered "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
He says, "When you look at the little mesh, wire microphone… and you address people on the other side of the mic, you hope that your performance will be special, and you hope that it will have lasting power."
Other selections include Chubby Checker's "The Twist," the hit song which spawned the 1960s dance craze, Pink Floyd's landmark album "The Dark Side of the Moon," the soundtrack to John Travolta's 1977 movie Saturday Night Fever, as well as recordings by Janis Joplin and The Ramones.
The latest picks take the total number of preserved recordings to 375.

Wild Rose MP touts spending cuts
Blake Richards, Conservative MP for the Wild Rose constituency, spoke at the meeting of the Rotary Club of Airdrie on Feb. 19 explaining how the federal government will reduce the deficit.
In keeping with the Conservative Party�s policies, he called tax increases a �non-starter� and said the federal government would not be raising taxes in order to decrease the deficit.
�When you look at tax increases, what that does is it creates a drag on economic growth and what that does is it hurts the economy, it hurts the businesses, it hurts job creation,� said Richards. �I don�t think that�s the way to do it. I think you have to find a way to tighten your belt as a government and that�s what we�re doing.�
Richards went on to say the federal government would reduce the deficit by reducing the size of the public service and finding �efficiencies� within government departments.
�Finding ways that we can find things that are unnecessary or redundant or can be eliminated, have served their usefulness,� said Richards. �There�s ways to find those spending efficiencies and I think that�s the way we�ll do it.�
He added essential services such as health care would not be part of those efficiencies.
�We�ve been very clear that� front-line services, that�s not where we will make our spending reductions,� he said. �Spending reductions will be on programs, things that are duplicated or redundant or no longer necessary.�
Richards also spoke at length about the labour shortage experienced in Alberta compared to other jurisdictions.
According to Alberta Enterprise and Advanced Education�s website, unemployment in Alberta stood at 4.5 per cent in January, compared to a national average of seven per cent.
Overseas, that number is even higher. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development�s website, the most recent unemployment statistics available for Europe show a rate of 9.4 per cent.
�There are opportunities to attract people who want to come and contribute to our economy and do so and help us grow the economy,� said Richards. �I believe that is something we can capitalize on.
�I do believe in things like the skilled-worker initiative. Things like ensuring that there is ability to access temporary foreign workers where Canadians aren�t interested in those jobs or aren�t available for those jobs. Those kinds of things can help to alleviate that.�
Richards said in speaking to groups such as the Rotary Club, he�s communicating with some of the community�s employers and business leaders, which is one of his primary focuses in his role as a legislator.
�I always believe, as a member of Parliament, your first focus is really to try to make sure that you�re representing, the best you can, the interests of your communities,� said Richards. �So obviously to come and meet with people in Rotary who are leaders in the community, it�s a good chance to have some two-way conversation and hear some of the thoughts on their minds.�

A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
Mitochondrial Eve, Y-Chromosome Adam, and Reasons to Believe
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
When Appearances Are Deceiving
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Series: The Biblical Premise of Uniformitarianism
In this three part series, geologist Stephen Moshier critiques John MacArthur's articles on uniformitarianism, while offering an alternative perspective on the principle. He exposes faulty conceptions about and misleading definitions of uniformitarianism. Gregory Bennett further defends the idea of an old earth as Biblical and focuses on the unchanging nature of God. He also discusses the Scriptural doctrines of creation and God's providence.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 1: An Ancient Earth
The only conclusions in science which are widely accepted are those which are supported by multiple, reinforcing lines of evidence – "all roads must lead to Rome". If there is even one scientific trajectory that seems to clearly lead off to Peoria instead of Rome, the scientific process demands that the scientist find out why.
What Are We to Make of Adam and Eve?
There are those who would say that Adam and Eve designate specific historical figures. That makes some sense, acknowledges theologian Alister McGrath, but it makes even more sense to say that Adam and Eve are figures that encapsulate the human race as a whole.
Scripture vs. the Facts? Working through a Crisis of Understanding
I'm a conservative evangelical. When I became a Christian fourteen years ago, I not only embraced profound new spiritual perspectives, but inherited a host of new scientific views: the earth was young, macro-evolution was false, and to affirm the contrary was to discredit the Bible and even the Gospel.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Navigating the Crises
In this video, Brian McLaren discusses the idea of surrogate arguments, in which a debate over one thing is really a means for arguing something completely different. According to McClaren, the argument over the age of the earth is one such argument.
America's Culture Wars: A Different Perspective
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
Science, Scripture, and the Creation Narrative
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
On Genesis 2 and 3
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.

Results 1 to 5 of 5
Threaded View
is planning our next visit to WDWI am:
Part 7 ~ Celebration & Universal etc.
You will be pleased to know that this will be the final instalment of my trip report of our recent vacation.
Having said that I`ve managed to condense a 26 day vacation into only 7 parts, instead of writing a day to day account which would probably bore you all to death!
This part covers a couple of final main activities of our trip which I thought I`d share with you.
En-route to the Gaylord Palms with Ray & Jill we were told about the Octoberfest which is held there over certain weekends so we opted to visit this event on Saturday Oct.9th along with Wendy & Chris.
Chris did the driving after picking us up from our villa [thanks Chris ], and we arrived at Celebration at around 6.45pm and the town was heaving! Celebration does not have an abundance of parking places at the best of times, but somehow we have always managed to locate a spot even during the festive season when we go to watch the "snow" fall along Market Street.
Tonight though was exceptionally busy. We followed a line of cars into the town and spotted a girl holding a board stating "Parking $3", and directing the traffic to a private car park outside a large building…I`m not sure what the building was, but when we arrived there we found that the parking lot was completely full and we had just missed the last available space by 2 or 3 cars.
Fortunately after driving along almost every street near to the town centre, we spotted a vacant space right at the end of a road opposite Market Street which we quickly dived in before we were pipped to the post!
Market Street was closed to traffic and at the end of the street by the lake was an "Oompah band" blasting out German tunes with all of the musicians dressed in lederhosen. [Sp?]…not exactly Eric Clapton, but it sure added to the atmosphere!
Oom pah band

There were loads of stalls selling various food items and beer etc. along with a bouncy castle to keep the kids amused.
We had been told that every hour they did a "Leaf Fall" along Market Street so we decided to have dinner first and to see this later. My DW and I normally dine at the Columbia Restaurant whenever we visit Celebration so we all headed there. Unfortunately as we hadn`t made a reservation we had to accept a table in the bar area to the side of the main restaurant, and probably due to the restaurant being so busy, our dinner took ages to be served to our table. Or should I say it took ages for Wendy`s, Chris`s and my dinner to be served because somehow they had omitted my DW`s meal!
I called our server over to complain and she apologised and very quickly arranged for my DW`s meal to be served in double quick time so that she wouldn`t be eating alone after we had finished ours.
In fairness, when the bill arrived, they hadn`t charged for my DW`s meal by way of compensation which helped to dispel some of our annoyance, but this seemed so out of character compared with our other dining experiences there in the past. Seeing as the food is good though, this slip up will not deter us from visiting again.
We went for a short walk around the town before standing at the end of Market Street just before the leaf fall was about to take place, passing the time in conversation and tapping in time to the oompah beat!
On the hour, loads of different coloured paper leaves were blown into the street and the children were frantically trying to gather as many as they could. We were told that there were a few golden coloured leaves in the mix which earned the collector a prize which for sure added to the frenzy!
We departed at around 10.00pm, pleased to have been able to tick off another "first" in Orlando for my DW and I.
The Leaf fall

Universal Studios
We visited this park on Wednesday Oct.7th and unlike our later experience at WDW, it was remarkably quiet even though it was around 10.30am by the time we arrived.
Most of the rides are now beginning to get a bit dated, however we still enjoy them so to take advantage of the non-existent lines we crammed in as many as we could.
"E.T." was followed by "Terminator 3-D" in quick succession before we went to the "Simpsons" ride which has replaced the "Back to the Future" attraction. My DW waited outside this latter ride though as simulators are not her cup of tea!
To be frank, I don`t know why they bothered to replace the BtttF ride with this one. It is exactly the same, however you now ride in a different vehicle than the DeLorean, and I much preferred the visuals on the defunct ride, probably because I`m not a huge Simpsons fan. I exited the ride rather disappointed despite the hype I had heard when the ride first opened!
The Simpsons Ride

After a snack lunch in the San Francisco area, we walked almost straight onto the "Jaws" ride where we had an excellent operative in charge of our boat….obviously using his own script!
Again, the "Shreck" attraction was a walk on experience for us as they were just about to start the next show by the time we arrived there.
We left Shreck just in time to watch the "Blues Brothers" doing their act which is something that I always make sure to see whenever we visit that park as I just love that movie and those guys at Universal take their roles very well.
Blues Bros.
Blues Bros..jpg
After a spot of walking around the park, and my customary purchase of an illusion from the magic store, we left the park at around 5.00pm ready for a relaxing evening.
All in all this was a great trip which was greatly enhanced by the various folks we met up with from here for the occasional dinner etc….Wendy/Chris, Tom/Carol and John/Donna, not to mention our great friend Ricardo and my DW`s friend from Miami [Donna] who drove up to spend a weekend with us at our villa.
There are others whom we would have loved to have met on this trip too but as usual insufficient time was available in the end, there`s always another time though eh?

It's like some people do it for the thrill and only the thrill. $4.00, really? How sad and scary at the same time.
