Bible Doctrine: Essential Teachings of the Christian Faithby Wayne A. Grudem Jeff Purswell
How do we know the Bible is God's Word? What is sin and where did it come from? How is Jesus fully God and fully man? What are spiritual gifts? When and how will Christ return? If you've asked questions like these, then "systematic theology" is no abstract term. It's an approach to finding answers every Christian needs to know. Bible Doctrine takes a highly commended upper-level textbook on systematic theology and makes it accessible to the average reader. Abridged from Wayne Grudem's award-winning Systematic Theology, Bible Doctrine covers the same essentials of the faith, giving you a firm grasp on seven key topics: The Doctrine of the Word of God The Doctrine of God The Doctrine of Man The Doctrine of Christ The Doctrine of the Application of Redemption The Doctrine of the Church The Doctrine of the Future Like Systematic Theology, this book is marked by its clarity, its strong scriptural emphasis, its thoroughness in scope and detail, and its treatment of such timely topics as spiritual warfare and the gifts of the Spirit. But you don't need to have had several years of Bible school to reap the full benefits of Bible Doctrine. It's easy to understand--and it's packed with solid, biblical answers to your most important questions.

Hotel Construction Sees Modest Comeback
Hotel construction, which dropped sharply during the economic downturn, has staged a modest turnaround, buoyed by building booms in New York as well as in small towns crowded with workers drilling oil-shale formations.
In the past four quarters, construction starts for U.S. hotels are up 32% by room count from the same period a year ago, and new-project announcements are up 22%, according to Lodging Econometrics, which tracks the hotel industry globally. Fueling the construction rebound are rising occupancy and room rates at U.S. hotels since 2009 and a willingness by more lenders to make hotel-construction loans, typically the most volatile and risky of commercial real-estate classes.
The average U.S. room rate of $105.53 in the first seven months of this year marks a 6.6% increase from the same period in 2009, according to Smith Travel Research. Average occupancy increased in the same span by nearly seven percentage points to 62.3%.
The pickup in hotel construction is a mixed signal for the industry. Although it is viewed as a sign that developers are confident about the economy's prospects and about consumers' willingness to travel, some owners of existing hotels worry that too many new hotels can lead to lower room rates in the future.
But so far, analysts say the new construction cycle isn't likely to lead to an oversupply of rooms, coming after nearly three years of declines in construction. At the end of the second quarter, developers had 474 hotels, totaling 60,000 rooms, under construction in the U.S. That is up from 437 hotels and nearly 55,000 rooms in the previous year. New-project announcements in the past year totaled 1,180 hotels, up from 926 announced in the previous year.
"Very modestly and very quietly, a new [construction] cycle has begun," said Patrick Ford, president of Lodging Econometrics. The company predicts a steady rise in new hotel openings through 2014.
New York remains by far the most-active market for hotel construction with 7,248 rooms being built, amounting to roughly 11% of the national total. Though the city's room count grew 7% in 2010 and 2.3% last year, its occupancy has remained above 80% since 2010. "New development is not catching up with the increase in demand," said Issac Hera, chief executive of Brack Capital Real Estate USA, which is developing three hotels in Manhattan.
A similar hotel boom is unfolding in a far different locale: rural communities atop oil-shale formations being drilled for oil and natural gas. Of the top 10 U.S. markets for hotel construction in the past year, three are in oil-shale areas: North Dakota, with 2,088 rooms under construction; the greater Corpus Christi area in Texas, with 1,491 rooms; and rural Oklahoma, with 1,242 rooms.
Most developers in these smaller markets are building budget and midscale hotels to accommodate oil-shale workers and other energy-industry employee. The hotels are needed in these areas to house the many workers, from engineers to rig workers, needed to drill and complete wells across the region. Since those workforces move around often to different drill sites, companies prefer to house them in hotels rather than longer-term residences such as houses or apartments.
Braxton Development, based in Bozeman, Mont., built Microtel Inns in the small North Dakota towns of Williston and Dickinson last year and opened a Hampton Inn in Williston last August. "When we first started, we were the second hotel in Williston to get built," Braxton principal Jon Braxton said. "But more competition came along quickly. It's as crazy as ever. Hotels still are running fairly full."
However, some hoteliers worry that the hotel-construction booms in markets like North Dakota amount to a bubble set to pop, especially if federal regulation cools the drilling industry or if gas and oil prices decline sharply. Lamont Cos., based in Aberdeen, S.D., recently built a Hampton Inn in Dickinson, N.D., and the builder also is planning a Candlewood Suites in the town. Yet Jeff Lamont, president and chief executive, said he would sell the properties if the right offer surfaces. "I know of six or seven hotels going up in Dickinson," he said. "It has us a little nervous about what might happen with the occupancy once all of these hotels are built. To me, it seems like there might not be enough demand there for all of them."
Overall, two-thirds of new hotels under construction in the U.S. are either upscale or upper-midscale, according to Lodging Econometrics. Those categories include brands such as Hilton Garden Inn, Courtyard by Marriott and Holiday Inn. And many of those are limited-service properties, meaning they don't include restaurants, spas or other amenities found in full-service hotels.
Developers and lenders tend to favor those types of hotels because they are more profitable than full-service hotels with restaurants. They also can be built on smaller sites and tend to hit their stride with occupancy and rate more quickly after they open.
The construction boom is made possible by the availability of construction loans, which dried up during the economic downturn but are now starting to flow again. Joe Hoesley, vice chairman of commercial real estate for U.S. Bancorp USB -0.49 % in Minneapolis, said underwriting criteria remains fairly stringent for hotel developments. Most banks refuse to issue loans covering more than 50% to 60% of a project's cost, and interest rates on those loans still are higher than loans to build offices or apartments, he said.
"Some of the banks that went to the sidelines [in recent years] have come back," Mr. Hoesley said. But, "on the food chain of commercial real estate, [hotels are] still probably on the low end of banks' appetites right now." U.S. Bancorp has lent on at least 15 hotels currently under construction.
Hotel owner and developer White Lodging Services Corp. has six hotels under construction in five states. Deno Yiankes, president and chief executive of White Lodging's investments and developments division, said that construction loans are "available at terms that are starting to get into the realm of doable again" for credit-worthy companies.

There are lots of different ways to sharpen in Photoshop and there are some things to be mindful of as far as best practices are concerned. So I want to show you what to do, what not to do, and my favorite filter for sharpening. So here in Photoshop the first thing I should mention is anytime we're talking about sharpening we want to look at things at 100% at least and the easiest way to do that is to just double-click on our Zoom tool and we're going to crash right into 100%. Now the best way to find the area of the image that we want is this little shortcut where I hit the H key and I click my mouse and I'll be given what's called a bird's eye view here, and I can sort of choose the area that I want to look at.
I zoom in here and sure enough that's the area that's in focus, that's the area that I want to sharpen. So the next thing is choosing which sharpening filter we want. And so we've got a few to choose from here. Sharpen, doesn't have any sort of interface, it's just a low-level sharpening routine. Sharpen Edges is focusing more on the edges of the image. Sharpen More is just applying sharpen more than once, it's pretty old technology, they are pretty low level, there's not a lot of control, there's no interface and they do create artifacts if you use them excessively.
Unsharp Mask is probably one of the most popular ways of sharpening. It's kind of an unusual name, it's been in Photoshop a long time, it does give you a lot of control and it can yield some great results, but it isn't the most powerful way to sharpen. The most powerful way to sharpen is Smart Sharpen and there's an interesting thing that happens when you call a feature Smart or Magic or Quick and it seems like people believe that they are smarter or more magical or faster, and they sort of stray away from those.
They don't use them because of their terminology and in some cases it absolutely makes sense. Magic Wand, a lot of people call that the Tragic Wand and don't want to use that. But when it comes to Smart Sharpen, it really is the most powerful way to do this, and I want to show you why. So the first thing that we see here is we've got this nice big dialog and we got a double Preview, so I've got my image in the background at 100%, and what that allows me to do is change my zoom here, and this might seem like sort of a laughable amount of sharpening, but if I were to back up to our original full screen view something like 13%, it actually looks pretty good.
This is the sort of thing that people see from a distance and they sharpen based upon that, and if this were output to the Web, that might be acceptable, but if I were to print it, you would see something like what we saw up close, which is really pretty offensive, lots of ghosts and lots of artifacts. So for the sake of using this I'm actually going to come in to least 200% and I get the best of both worlds here, and couple things I want to set here. If I first came into this filter for the very first time, it would look something like this.
I would have it applied about one pixel, be somewhere around 50% or 100%, it would be on Gaussian Blur and More Accurate would be unchecked, and this is for a reason, those settings mimic Unsharp Mask. People coming from Unsharp Mask would have the exact same experience with these settings, but the best way to use this is to change it to Lens Blur, Gaussian Blur was designed for a world where we were opening images from scans, and here in Photoshop today, most images are coming off of digital cameras, and so Lens Blur is tuned for those.
And then with More Accurate what happens there is we're actually doing multiple passes on your image to get you the best possible result. So this is the most tuned way to get a nice sharpened image, and for the sake of seeing this on the screen, I'm going to bump things really aggressively, so you can see what we're doing. And you can see they were picking up halos and if I click on the image with the Hand tool there, I'll see Before, if I let go, I'll see After and if I wanted to see the same thing behind on the full image, I just deselect Preview and click that again.
Now what I want to do is get rid some of this ghosting and that's something I can do uniquely in Smart Sharpen. I can come into the Shadow area and I can Fade the shadow sharpening, there it is completely out, there it is completely present and somewhere in between little more glaring is the Highlight, that ghosting that I see, and I can completely remove that ghosting by Fading the Highlight Sharpening. And I see the other thing that is really great here is when I get a look that I like, I can save that right here and I can use it the next time I open a similar image or give myself a starting point for the next image.
So, it's a fast filter, its easy-to-use, it's very intuitive, you just need to know a few things about it. And in the next video, we'll talk about repurposing your sharpening based upon where the image is going.
The course begins with an exploration of Photoshop features that make changes to an entire image: the Crop tool, the Auto button that's present in many adjustment dialog boxes, and the Curves panel options. Next, Bryan explores sharpness and blur. Each has its place in a photograph, and Bryan details how the sharpening and blur features work and how to get the most out of them.
The course also looks at adjusting specific areas of an image with the Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools, and at the growing array of content-aware features in Photoshop, showing how they work and what to do when they don't work. The course concludes with a tour of the powerful Liquify filter, features for correcting lens distortion, and the world of presets that allow you to apply settings with a single click.
- Reinventing the Crop tool
- Rediscovering the Auto button
- Getting the most out of curves
- Understanding Smart Sharpen
- Building blur and softness
- Working with a graphics tablet
- Using Content-Aware Fill, Scale, and Move effectively
- Correcting distortion automatically based on lens profiles

Beam Splitter
Application ID: 14691
A beam splitter is used to split a single beam of light into two. One way of making a splitter is to deposit a thin layer of metal between two glass prisms. The beam is slightly attenuated within the layer, and split into two paths. In this example, the thin metal layer is modeled using a transition boundary condition which reduces the memory requirements. Losses in the metal layer are also computed.
This application was built using the following:Wave Optics Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it. Particular physics interfaces may be common to several products (see the Specification Chart for more details). To determine the right combination of products for your project, you should evaluate all of your needs in light of each product's capabilities, consultation with the COMSOL Sales and Support teams, and the use of an evaluation license.

Spurred by an influx of abandoned hunting dogs, the Charleston Animal Society is offering free adoptions for adult dogs.
"It is against the law to abandon an animal in South Carolina," Charleston Animal Society Senior Director of Animal Services Pearl Sutton said in the announcement, "and you can clearly see on many of these hound dogs where the collars were removed."
More than two dozen hound dogs were at the shelter this week, most with their collars removed. The influx of hound dogs is just one reason the adult dog population at the shelter has reached a critical stage, according to the staff.
The shelter is at 2455 Remount Road. More information is at CharlestonAnimalSociety.org.

Wii U
FenderMaster 3 years ago#1
Maybe we'll see something that WiiU couldn't do, like epic battles with hundreds or thousands of enemies on screen at once (no, not like the trickery of the 1000 heartless battle). But based on this gameplay video, I see nothing that looks beyond the WiiU's capabilties with a downgrade here or there.
Graphically the game doesn't look next gen, and my guess is that this is because it's really early in development.
Currently playing: GTA V, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Super Mario 3D Land, Rayman Origins, Batman AA, Beyond: Two Souls, LOZ; ALTTP
I completely agree. There is absolutely no reason why this shouldn't come to Wii U. Sign this petition. It may help.

If built from the ground up on the Wii U then I'd say, yes. The game could be run on the system. But that's going to be the thing with the Wii U. It's the odd many out this new generation not only because of the gamepad but because the P4 and XBO have a similar architecture and the Wii U doesn't share that. So that means more work for devs in most cases to port and/or make a Wii U version. They now are forced to find a way to use the GP with something other than menus and maps. To add they touchscreen capability that wasn't needed on the other versions.
But built from the ground up or with some serious optimization, the game could run on the Wii U.
PSN: Jackal-5, XBox: Jackal 55 (No, I don't have a 360)
EVE Online: Jonak, Ouya: Zeek_Bronz
Did we watch the same video? There's no way that game, the way it looks now, could be done on the Wii U.
Could a dumbed down version of KH3 be done on the Wii U? Ofcourse. But man ppl are overestimating the system. Don't let KH3's cartoony style fool you, those character models(especially Sora) look almost as good as cgi cutscene characters of this gen.
Ugh, people here seriously overestimate the Wii U and/or underestimate the power of the PS4 and XB1. They're not the same leap that the PS3 and 360 were over the Wii but they're still a decent hop above it.
Sytems Owned: NES, GEN, SATURN, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, GC, Wii, PS3, 360, Wii U, OUYA, GB, GBC, GBA, DS, PSP, 3DS, VITA. Can't wait for PS4.
I'll look at that video when I get to work because this Starbucks wifi will chug it along and it's annoying.
It's not the polygon count that make Sora look "almost" CG, it only allows him not to look clunky and angular. What makes him not look like plastic and such in the environment. Textures and mostly lighting. It an be achieved with various techniques including a simple and archaic "light dome" like I use to do back in school on my 333mHz PC in 3DS Max. I used it to get rid of the shiny looking stuff and make things look closer to a version oc occlusion. The came HDRI and stuff. Take a look at FF: Advent Children to see how lighting and make things look more natural when combined with good textures and such.
The PS4 and XBO are on their second generation of HD consoles and they have learned that by making consoles with more efficient hardware that can handle greater and more effects, without burning out, that better looking graphics is the natural progression. Things that use to be CG can now have that look in real time. The Wii U IS a capably system but it's not built the same. But with some work games an look great within it's limits.
Please stop having a fit about it's capabilities. We don't mind you voicing your opinions, it's no like we can actually stop you anyway, but people will be more inclined to listen to your opinions and have a discussion with you if you aren't ranting.
PSN: Jackal-5, XBox: Jackal 55 (No, I don't have a 360)
EVE Online: Jonak, Ouya: Zeek_Bronz
I see nothing there that couldn't be done on the PS3, let alone the Wii U.
That said, it's still in development so the final product will definitely look better once it's actually out and not a youtube video, and I'm probably gonna pick it up on my PS4 whenever it ends up coming out.
www.vgcollect.com/jobocan - My Collection
Lol. It still looks like a PS3 game. Which is fine and all,
People are just shocked because it's the first HD KH game built from the ground up for an HD system. Kinda like when Pikmin 3 came out.
You know the gaming industry is **** when the biggest announcement is that a console can play used games and won't totally screw you over.
Neo_Heartless 3 years ago#9
From what I've heard about the PS4 and Xbone, its not so much more efficient as it is brute force. The WiiU is a better example of efficiency and had they not cheaped out on it it would probably be able to keep up with the other two with lesser specs. As it is now though, well as you say Jackal, the WiiU can pull off some stunning graphics with enough effort, but its effort many developers just don't want to do. With more sales maybe.

jairusmonillas 3 years ago#10
Can't you read what was written on top right of the screen, it said "work in progress gameplay"
it's not even 5% done yet. it's probably going to be released in 3-4 years by the time its released its going to look 30x better than that.
All of you, want to be loved... needed by someone, so we look to others... By ourselves, we are lonely, so we try to draw together to live

LL Cool Burglary Suspect Could Face Life In Prison
An alleged burglar didn't stand a chance against LL Cool J.

Kirby is being charged with first degree burglary, which follows previous convictions for voluntary manslaughter, auto theft, first degree burglary and petty theft. He's reportedly been charged as a "third striker," which could land him a sentence of 38 years to life.

You may have heard that Bethesda is suing Interplay over the rights to the Fallout MMO based on Bethesda's wildly popular single player RPG/FPS hybrid Fallout 3. But now Bethesda has let it slip during those court proceedings that not only do they want to make the Fallout MMO themselves, but that they're hard at work on an Elder Scrolls-based MMORPG as well!
About all you could ever call the wonderful Elder Scrolls saga previously was "massively single player," hehe, so this is the best news I've heard in a long time.
WOOT! This is such fabulous news I am just speechless. It's a dream come true for Morrowind and Oblivion fans. I played Morrowind for six months straight-- my whole family did! It inadvertantly became the reason the six of us (my 72-year-old parents, my 15-year-old daughter, my 42-year-old sister and her 36-year-old husband) went on to become MMORPGers together, I kid you not.
My daughter, then just 8, was failing math for the year in school. The rest of us were playing Morrowind. She asked that, if she pulled her math grade up to passing, would I buy her a copy of Morrowind as well. Feeling like I was making a deal with the devil but figuring she'd pluck a few herbs, hit the shops for a few minutes then log off forever anyway, I agreed.
Well, that little bugger not only pulled her math grade up to a B for the year but went on to roll and level a Dark Elf caster to the point where she became head of the Mages' Guild in Morrowind! (Where's a good bug-eyed smiley when you need it?) But then she just couldn't get past that final end-game boss encounter, and one night at a family dinner outing my Dad said,
"Jeez, too bad I couldn't just bust in there with my warrior and help you!" and I said,
"Yeah man, me too, and my tank has a whole pile of caster loot you could have besides ...."
We glanced around at each other, and our family-only MMORPG guild called Relative Danger was born. We have moved en masse from MMORPG to MMORPG over the years ever since.
And now we finally have a massively multiplayer Morrowind on the horizon. Bioware and that umpteenth millionth Star Wars game ToR of theirs must be shakin' in their storm trooper boots right about now!

Nefarious vs Secluded
Jipsy Castillo, the face of Nefarious Girl, has carved a name for herself into the flesh of Miami's nightlife scene. When the rest of the city was getting down at the club, Castillo was behind the lens to capture it all -- long before the camera became a staple for self-respecting (and self-promoting) party people. Much like the nightlife scene of the city, Jipsy has transformed herself and her work into something beyond Nefarious, while still staying true to her dark elements. "My nights of clubland in Miami are done.... I think the whole formula for what a great night was has changed.... The art or the culture isn't as gritty as it used to be," Castillo said of moving forward in her stylistic changes. Presented by the Workshop, Castillo will showcase a unique body of work she has aptly titled "Secluded." Themes of murder, anguish, and loss of self-identity are elegantly translated through photographed images.

Ian Somerhalder's television portrayal is faithful to the charming, handsome, hedonist of L.J. Smith's creation. Is it the piercing blue eyes or the devilish grin that make Ian so irresistible? We fell in love with him as Boone Carlyle on ABC's Lost and Hamilton Fleming on The CW's Young Americans, but he'll always be our Damon Salvatore now. If you can't get enough of Ian on The Vampire Diaries, we suggest a Somerhalder movie marathon. (Here are some savory recommendations: Life As A House, Pulse, How To Make Love To A Woman, Wake, The Lost Samaritan, In Enemy Hands, The Tournament and The Rules of Attraction).

Watch Ian Somerhalder talk about how he thinks TVD should end.

She hadn't yet become a TV personality, received thousands of dollars in donations or made her flight plan — and so she hated her name. Amelia Rose Earhart of the second grade decided she would be Amy. She couldn't understand why her parents gave her the name of a famous woman. So she was Amy. Amelia was just too big.
Fast forward 24 years, and the name couldn't be big enough. It has brought her financial sponsorship, an Internet following, and, most of all, the chance to fly a plane around the world. A decade after she took her first flying lesson (and changed her name back to Amelia), the 31-year-old Denver woman embarked on an 18-day, 24,300-nautical-mile trip to retrace the path of her namesake. She landed in Oakland, Calif., on Friday night, becoming the youngest female to circumnavigate the globe in a single-engine plane.
"I am a woman who has charted the course of her life based around another woman's legacy," Earhart said.
For most, the name our parents chose is the name that we carry. We make it our own by deciding who we are. Unless of course, the world has decided for you. The blessing or burden of living with a famous name goes beyond the awkwardness of introducing oneself ("Yes, it is real," "No, we're not related") and can affect the course of a day, an opportunity or, in Earhart's case, a life.
Take it from Abraham Lincoln, a man from Lake Stevens, Wash. Dedicated to the honest reputation of his namesake, Abraham Lincoln told police his legal name when caught jaywalking at 16. With no driver's license to show, the young Lincoln was arrested under the assumption that he would not reveal his real name.
Years later, his fate flipped. Abraham Lincoln was caught attempting to steal a "Lincoln Rock Company" sign in Lincoln, Calif. (honest, he promises). The cops let him off when they saw the irony of the situation.
Casey Anthony is a mother of six children in Tazewell, Tenn. Every time she makes a restaurant reservation, she makes a point to say she's not that Casey Anthony. It's highly inconvenient to be named Casey Anthony when you're trying to become a school teacher.
Justin Bieber is a teen in Fairview, Mont. He is a basketball player, aspiring car designer and sugar beet farmer. He does not like the other Justin Bieber's music, and he is not at liberty to disclose how his name assists him with talking to girls because his mom was listening to his phone call with the Post.
For Amelia Rose Earhart, the journey of having a well-known name came full circle when she flew over Howland Island, the spot the first Amelia never made it to in 1937. "It was such a big risk for her to take," Earhart said. "To see how tiny that island was, I have a whole new respect for that woman."
Earhart plans to continue honoring her namesake with a scholarship fund for teenage girls interested in aviation.

Reviews for Premier Suite
Amazing time at an amazing inn with amazing serviceMy husband and I had such a good time at the Whale Cove Inn we wanted to move in and not come back home. We both work full time and wanted to get away somewhere that was closer to nature, but where we also felt pampered and cared for. The Whale Cove Inn looked like the place and it exceeded our expectations. The rooms and the view are even better than the pictures on the Webpage. The room was completely amazing. The staff was so wonderful, friendly and accommodating. You felt like they were old friends who wanted to make sure you had the time of your life. Big kudos to Sarah, Carol and Cynthia, you three ladies are the best! The view is unparalleled, definitely the best view in the area and you have it right outside your room. Harbor seals visiting the cove daily, the ability to see gray whales swimming in the ocean while standing on your balcony. Nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of the waves coming in. We literally spent almost the entire week just sitting on the balcony enjoying the view and relaxing. I'd give a higher rating than 5 if I could. A truly exceptional place with stellar people.

Reviews for Premier Suite
Hello from Delaware-Outstanding stayWe stayed at the Wale Cove Inn on April 28-29, 2015. It was wonderful and the views are terrific. So glad we stayed 2 nights. The staff and restaurant employees were excellent-what a delicious breakfast too! Beck restaurant was "yummy"... The room is gorgeous and what a beautiful bathroom-One comment I made to the manager to enhance the "bath" experience-please put a "cedar" or upscale stool in the shower area" (Frontgate sells lovely ones). It would certainly help us ladies with our bathing needs! Thank you so much, We'll be back Nancy and Bob Hanson (Guest)

Sleepy Summer Action 0 comments
It's hard to be bullish with major indexes back below their 50-day moving averages.
But we're holding our Buyer's Caution bias for the time being as we wait to add more evidence to our analysis.
Sleepy summer action has many major funds on the sidelines. Without the benefit of being able to gauge what these market drivers are up to we've decided to do the same and remain low-key.
Sooner or later a more clear picture will be had, proving an edge to place our capital with.
Until then, enjoy the summer.

If you're lucky, you'll get to see this spring ballet when you visit the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, 1111 E. Brown Deer Road, Bayside, Thursday. A naturalist will give a brief program about the bird at 7 p.m. and then lead visitors to a spot where the birds are known to perform. Register by calling (414) 352-2880, Ext. 0.

Reading the John Updike stories: 'The Astronomer'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
Like his story "Pigeon Feathers," Updike's "The Astronomer," published in 1961, deals with a crisis of faith. "Pigeon Feathers," written earlier but published a few months later than "The Astronomer," depicts a boy's loss of innocence about mortality and heaven. In "The Astronomer," 24-year-old Walter fears what effect an evening talking with an older, smarter friend will have on the shaky Rube Goldberg contraption of his belief construct. »Read Full Blog Post

Religious Globalization in an Age of Global Crises? Theory and Practice of the Oikoumene in the 20th Century
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Fourth European Congress on World and Global History
Paris, 11-14th September 2014
"Religious Globalization in an Age of Global Crises? Theory and Practice of the Oikoumene in the 20th Century"
The twentieth century saw the emergence of unprecedented efforts to build a world Christian community that would overcome divisions between churches as well as nations, races, and classes. This panel will explore these efforts focusing on the ecumenical movement as a form of globalization. We seek submissions that examine how visions of ecumenical community and service were developed and applied within international, transnational, and national contexts and illuminate the ways in which these ecumenical configurations open new perspectives on the study of major themes in 20th-century history such as war, economics, secularization, racism, colonialism, totalitarianism, poverty and technology.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to
- Religious visions of the global space and world order
- Religious and ecclesiological geographies and mapping
- Institutional transformations of churches, missions and international religious networks
- Concepts of ecumenicity and ecumenical community and witness
- Transnational communication structures
- Processes of translation
-the emergence of world religions
-Missions history and the global south
The panel will take place at the 4th European Congress on World and Global History in Paris, 4-7 September 2014. Papers should have a substantial historical grounding though multi-disciplinary approaches are welcome.
Please send abstracts of 100-200 words to email@example.com
Submission deadline: September 25, 2013.
Full Abstract
This panel will explore 20th-century history from the perspective of the ecumenical movement, a loose network of predominately Protestant groupings seeking the global unity of the Christian Church, missionary efforts and believers. Taking its name from oikoumene, a Greek term used to refer to both the inhabited globe and the world church, the movement articulated itself in visions of a modern world, new organizational structures, and patterns of interaction among various religious actors. Over the course of the 20th century, the movement registered a number of intellectual shifts, from a West/rest to a global North/South division in the geographical imagination, from internationalism to transnationalism, and from Western imperialism to indigenization. But it also was concerned with establishing a range of novel contacts (for instance among colonizers and colonized, communists and fascist, humanitarian philanthropists and state officials) and international institutions, such as the International Missionary Council, and the World Council of Churches or local interfaith organizations. The movement's flourishing came along with the institutionalization of encounters, communication and exchange processes between otherwise disparate people across centers and peripheries.
The panel will explore approaches to ecumenism outside the perspectives of church history and give particular attention to the ways in which Christian groups helped to shape the worldviews, narratives, and political strategies that states, individuals, and civil society used in the twentieth century to negotiate the entwined but countervailing processes that historians have termed "globalization" and "deglobalization." Panelists will use ecumenism as a lens to bring into focus and to historicize the emergence of "alternate" forms and concepts of pluralism, in terms of a global history: Ecumenism paralleled the formation of major political institutions, such as the League of Nations and the United Nations, while the goals, strategies, and methods of ecumenical organizations represented distinct and period-specific attempts to foster social integration among segregated groups on a global scale. Exploring these attempts, panelists also seek to raise the question of whether the oikoumene can be conceptualized as an alternative to the paradigms of assimilation, globality, functional differentiation, and secularization/modernization usually employed to explain the process of overcoming the social tensions associated with the history of globalization.

The GT0532 Mountaineer Series 0 Carbon Fiber Tripod from Gitzo features Carbon eXact tubing, which includes High Modulus carbon fiber in the lower leg sections, adding to their diameters, and making the tripod more rigid and stronger than its predecessor. The GT0532 has a load capacity of 17.6 lb, extends to a maximum height of 52", and folds down to 20.9" for transport.
The center column on the tripod can be removed for Ground Level Set, which enables the tripod to reach its lowest height of 5.9". Its three-section legs are secured with twist locks that incorporate G-lock Ultra, which has an internal O-ring to prevent dust and particles from entering the leg system. The top spider has been redesigned to add rigidity, and large leg angle selectors give you more area to grip when readjusting leg angles. A ballast hook on the center column allows you to add weight to increase the tripod's stability.
