CONTEXT AND LINEAGE OF THE SYNCON AND THE WHEEL OF COCREATION Barbara Marx Hubbard CONTEXT Over the past 40 years I have been developing certain social "templates" or patterns to facilitate the next stage of our evolution. All of them spring from an evolutionary perspective and a metaphor to describe our current situation. The metaphor is: "Our crisis is the birth of a universal humanity, capable of co-evolving with nature and cocreating with spirit." This "birth" is dangerous, yet natural. The tendency in evolution at times of such crises is to develop evolutionary drivers that pressure us toward more consciousness, more freedom, and more life through more synergistic order. This is what we see happening now. In this paper I will place two of these key evolutionary social patterns in the context of evolutionary potential and describe them briefly so that those who are choosing to apply them in a variety of ways will know where they come from, and will help develop whatever their greater potential may be. These new patterns for social evolution come forth out of the recent revelation of the Process of Creation – cosmogenesis – understood as our own story, our own "birth narrative, from the origin of creation to us at the point of self-destruction or more conscious evolution. This Process is seen as an evolutionary spiral, proceeding quantum jump by quantum jump from pre-life to life, from single cell to animal, from animal to human, and now, possibly, from human to a more universal, cocreative, compassionate humanity. The spiral is experienced as directional, animated from within by an "implicate order," a tendency, a universal intelligence or Consciousness Force leading to ever higher consciousness and greater freedom through more complex, synergistic order, as mentioned above. The "Core" of the spiral can be visualized as the designing universal intelligence animating every atom, molecule and cell, now becoming conscious within us as our own motivation to grow, to love more, to participate more fully in the process of creating a world equal to our aspiration and potential. From this perspective it appears that the universe is not neutral. It seems to be 'coded' with a prime directive: Create More Conscious Life. Transform Matter into Life. In this context the evolution of Earth Life including ourselves is understood as a vital stage in a universal developmental path toward a conscious universe. As James Gardner puts it: "The universe is coming to life," We are a natural part of that life. When we place our current condition within the evolutionary spiral as the next turn, we realize that quantum changes are nature's tradition; that crises precede transformation; and that nature takes jumps through greater synergy – separate parts coming together to form a whole system greater than and different from the sum of its parts. Intuitively we can imagine this greater whole pulling us forward to realize it. Revelation of higher states of being and creating are experienced as the next stage of evolution being born through us, in our midst. In the planetary developmental path we are at the stage of beginning to coordinate ourselves as a whole planetary body in order to survive. None of our current institutions or structures is designed for social synergy. We see that a vital key to our conscious evolution now is to create new forms of SOCIAL SYNERGY capable of increasing connectivity, communication and cooperation among diverse functions, groups, people, races, faiths forming a new whole system greater than and different from the sum of our parts. The theological definition of synergism is when human will and divine will join for the regeneration of the human race. In this sense social synergy is a way for us to tap into the deeper patterns of creation and align our individual motivation with that tendency in evolution toward higher, more harmonious order. We find that the "Big Bang"and the fourteen billion years of evolutionary transformation are alive and well within us as our own unique expression of the continuing creation. We are the face of evolution. From this perspective we see ourselves struggling to coordinate ourselves as a whole system, running out of non-renewable resources, over-populating, polluting, over-shooting our environmental base, in danger of collapse. This is the precise set of crises of birth of the next stage of our evolution that we are given which are in fact activating our new capacities and pressuring us toward social synergy in order to survive and thrive at the next stage of our unfolding. We also see that we are in need of longer-range evolutionary goals, an evolutionary agenda that can solve our problems in the light of the emergence of our extraordinary new capacities – spiritual, social and scientific/technological. In order to precede we now place our selves in the broadest context . We take the "overview perspective," as the astronauts did, experiencing our t as the people of the Earth now entering the process of natural synergistic cocreation . If nature could take jumps through greater synergy and cooperation for billions of years with no guide book, then certainly, we can too! It's innate. It the nature of nature. It's the intention of creation. It's not inevitable, but it is potential. The SYNCON process and the Wheel of Cocreation were both designed as processes to foster greater social synergy. The SYNCON PROCESS stands for synergistic convergence. It brings together diverse groups and interests to seek common goals and match needs with resources in the light of the growing potential of the whole system. It was tested 25 times in the 1970's in venues as diverse as the gangs of Los Angeles, a rural group in the nation of Jamaica, Washington DC, the Generation Federation of Women's Clubs and Huntsville Alabama. (More comprehensive description of the SYNCON Process is available). SYNCON was born out of this need to foster social synergy and to examine long-range evolutionary goals that have the potential of radically transforming the human condition for the good. It is a social acting out of the vision so many of us hold of a world wherein each person is free to do and be their best within the emergent whole system. It is a harbinger of a more "synergistic democracy," a form of self- governance that is designed to foster cocreativity rather than. Synergy is the way nature evolves. When we create synergistic social structures, the evolutionary tendency in nature is supported by us and the genius of self- organization is facilitated naturally, because in fact it is natural. Here is a brief description of how the SYNCON worked. It can form an inclusive, coherent, evolutionary context upon which many advanced processes can be added. THE SYNCON takes place in a wheel -shaped environment representing vital functions of the social body, such as health, education, environment, governance, media, science and technology, etc. The Wheel symbolizes the whole, at the local, regional, organizational, or global levels depending on where and how it is used. DIAGRAM In a more complex SYNCON it is desirable to have task forces at the growing edge of the Wheel representing evolutionary potentials not usually included in the social body, such as the biological evolution, space development, the psychologies of growth, the information evolution, etc.) The arts are also invited to symbolize, celebrate, and help the social body imagine and feel itself as a whole. A Coordinating Hub is composed of people from various sectors of the Wheel who are drawn by the common purpose of directing the process. There are facilitators in every sector of the Wheel, ideally people knowledgeable in the current realities and possibilities of that field. They are responsible for developing "Synergistic Rules of Order," seeking an all-win relationships. Eventually these transcend "Robert's Rules or Order." Through SYNCON we are experimenting with a next phase of self-governance, beyond the win/lose oppositional and polarizing form that we are now using. People are invited it to enter the Wheel based on their desire to create within some function. SYNCON does not demand idealism or altruism. It is designed as a better way to achieve one's goals through synergy than through opposition. The participants first meet in an Assembly of the Whole with all sectors filled with participants. At the opening of a SYNCON an experience of hope and possibilities is generated. However it is done, the feeling is that humanity's potential to evolve is evoked in artistic, poetic, and imaginative ways. The Arts are vital here. The SYNCON Wheel is a "theater for cocreation and conscious evolution." The sectors can be artistically decorated to represented vital functions. The Hub of the Wheel can be seen as the place of coordination, of evolutionary design, of global intelligence. If possible, the Hub coordinators have access to a video team. The participants who want to have their new agreements and connections recorded as the NEW NEWS call upon this team. Every day of the SYNCON there is an effort to produce the New News as it comes from the process itself. If required, a Council on High Priority Needs is formed to assist people who do not communicate effectively or who may feel angry, left out, or incapable. Social healing is a vital part of social synergy. This is a place for coaches, counselors, and family therapists of all kinds. The goal is that no one is left out. Even better everyone finds where their gift is most needed within the whole. There are several main stages of a SYNCON: 1. Each sector meets, either in one group, or several smaller groups, to identify major goals, needs and resources both individually or as a sector. (Small group dialogue processes are valuable here.) 2. Each sector reports its goals, needs and resources to the Assembly of the Whole. If a growing edge group of task forces is used, they are asked to synthesize the emerging potentials in their fields and report into the whole. As so often the deprived citizens are left out of social change, so are the geniuses working to develop new capacities that are vital to solving problems and realizing new possibilities. As thes reports goes on, people in other sectors listen, and raise their hands whenever they have a need that some other person or group has a resource for. There begins to be excitement, as possible synergies are discovered. People make appointments to meet each other. "Vocational dating" is fun. People's creativity is aroused. 3. People mingle with each other based on matching needs with resources. Often-larger clusters form. The discussions are animated. They call for the video camera, realizing that the media is part of their own nervous system. The concept of news evolves from what is breaking down to what is breaking through. People see themselves as newsmakers. especially when they have made a new connection or discovered a new mode of cooperation among former opposites. The Coordinating Hub's media team, will make of the SYNCON a new news cast. 4. People reassemble in their sectors of the Wheel and share with one another the synergies and connections they have made. Each sector prepares a next report to the Assembly of the Whole, which includes the new possibilities that they have discovered and committed to. Through these reports, further connections are generated. 5. There is an All Walls Down Ceremony where the symbolic dividers are removed with music and whatever else is desired to celebrate the coming together of the parts within the new whole. 6. In this sacred space, each sector reports to the Whole its experience, and asks help of others as needed. Often social synergy is felt as a form of social love., a natural spirituality – the binding back and making whole. Stereotypes fade; oppositional leadership is often changed into cooperative leadership. Those who cooperate best gain the most rewards. They gain the most attention, since the media features cooperation over opposition. (Mayor Yorty of Los Angeles said there should be a SYNCON outside of every City Hall so that special interests and groups would have to learn to cooperate with each other before they got to the mayorl) 7. A New News Cast is played for everyone to see themselves as newsmakers, communicated widely via Internet and local broadcast. Local media is invited to be an intrinsic part of the SYNCON and is encouraged to develop the broadest possible outreach for the process and its commitments to positive action. 9. Ideally the SYNCON is a continuous process occasionally interrupted by a meeting. There can be task force or the Coordinating Hub that continue to meet and report into the whole. It is now possible to develop the information technology to foster the continuation of the process of cooperation and cocreation. (See Fernand Sarrat's design for Self Empowered Communities). 10. As the process replicates, each SYNCON places its goals, needs and resources into a common META-SYNCON information system. The matching of needs and resources does not have to be restricted to a single SYNCON. Eventually SYNCONS connect into larger organs of cooperation within sectors and between sectors. The seeking of common goals and matching needs with resources can be spread throughout the social body at whatever scale is possible. Through this process people discover that everything we need to solve our problems and realize our potentials is already in the system. The connectivity and new energy fostered by synergistic convergence is a vital key to realizing our social potential during the "crisis of our birth." THE WHEEL OF COCREATION is the second vital social process offered here. See diagram of the Wheel on www.evolve.org and the story of the Wheel in Conscious Evolution: Awakening the Power of our Social Potential. The Wheel of Co-creation was born out of the 25 SYNCONS produced by the Committee for the Future in the 1970's and from the experience of my Vice Presidential Campaign in 1984, as well as more recently through collaboration with many colleagues. During that 'Campaign for a Positive Future' I proposed a new social function in the office of the vice president, a "Peace Room" to be as sophisticated as a War Room, to scan for, map, connect, and communicate what is working in American and the world. The Wheel was to be filled in with projects and people and made available the public for greater participation. (When Dennis Kucinich, running for president, heard of this he envisioned a large Wheel- shaped room next to the oval office filled with data bases of what is working in every field and function, where leaders of the emerging world are invited to tell their stories and make the connections they need to fulfill their missions.) I am at this moment approaching Barack Obama with this idea for his campaign. It actually can be used by political candidates at any level in any party who wish to encourage grass roots cooperation and to overcome the current polarization through greater awareness of what is working. This design is neither Left nor Right: it is forward, upward and whole. This version of the Wheel was further developed with the assistance of Avon Mattison's Wheel for Pathways to Peace. Avon is a sister-in-evolution who is applying the Wheel to building a Culture of Peace through the United Nations International Day of Peace and throughout the world. Her input has been gratefully recorded in my book Conscious Evolution. Rama Vernon and I used the design of the SYNCON and the Wheel for Soviet American Citizen Summits during the Cold War, bringing together Americans and Soviets to seek common projects and goals. The Association for Global New Thought was founded on the symbol of the Wheel. It has served to support its purpose of bringing spirit into action through cocreation . The Wheel was laid out as a schema to match people and projects through www.evolve.org with Marshall Lefferts,Teresa Collins and myself supported by the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. It was subsequently developed by several key groups including the Santa Barbara Conscious Evolution Community "Peace Room Project "which developed the 12 around 1 Wheel; the Shift Project, guided by Marshall Lefferts, Teresa Collins, myself and others, including Foster Gamble, Howard Rosenfeld of the Shir'ah Foundation, Jim Fournier of Planet Works and others, funded by Ermanno Magnini as an effort to overcome poverty through social synergy. The Wheel is currently being used by Susan Davis of the Tipping Point Network, Foster Gamble's important film Thrival, Eleanor LeCain's NewWaysUSA, the PartnerShift Alliance. Stephen Dinan working with Avon, is interested in the Wheel now in the Summer of Peace project in San Francisco. Rinaldo Brutoco, president of The World Business Academy wants to use it to set up a Peace Room for the Peace Alliance, which is supporting The Department of Peace legislation. Fernand Sarrat is using some form of the Wheel design for the Self Empowerment Community Project being modeled in Santa Barbara as a project of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution of which he is the executive director. I am applying the Wheel design for the Conscious Evolution Chair for Wisdom University under the aegis of Jim Garrison, as a way for masters and doctoral students to help develop the Wheel. It is actually a PhD in social evolution. The Wheel will provide the structure for the Barbara Marx Hubbard Library for Conscious Evolution and The Center for a Positive Future in Santa Barbara under the guidance of John Zwerver. I will use it for my forthcoming DVD: 'Synergistic Democracy" as a call for the next stage of self-governance. We are indeed "Reinventing the Wheel!" The time has come to coordinate these efforts and to deepen our collective understanding of its usefulness. The Wheel represents the sectors of the SYNCON Wheel. While SYNCONS are face-to-face meetings, the Wheel is in virtual reality as well as serving as a model for group meetings. It has morphed from 8 sectors to 12 sectors. The process is still in its formative stage. DIAGRAM OF THE WHEEL Here is my understanding of the Wheel. Others will bring their own understanding to it. The Wheel evolves naturally out of the evolutionary spiral. We can visualize it as Our Turn on the Spiral. It is a matrix of whole system designed to map and connect what is working in the world. It has been called the WhatWorksWheel. (WWW), the Synergy Wheel, the Transformation Wheel, the Peace Room Wheel, the Wheel of Cocreation. It has at least the four functions which I suggested for the Vice Presidency. It scans for, maps, connects, and communicates (as the New News) what is working in the world. It attracts unto itself the people, projects, initiatives that are now actually healing and transforming our world. The projects self- organize and cluster according to vital function, revealing the emergence of the New Civilization through the actual projects that are now building it. The Wheel is "alive." It is constantly turning. Every input not only adds to its momentum, but also increases the synergy among the evolving parts of the social body. I see the Wheel in action as a way to cross the gap from what Jonas Salk described as Epoch A to Epoch B. Epoch A is the current situation as the population curve rises exponentially, and pollution, environmental degradation, climate change, etc., now nearing a critical collapse scenario. Epoch B is the next turn on the sigmoid curve when we have reached sustainability and evolvability. This "gap" between Epoch A and B cannot be crossed by linear means. There isn't enough time. Time is critical, like during a biological birth. This is a "planetary birth," or developmental process, that has reached a critical phase transition. This crisis is pressing us rapidly toward greater cooperation, or devolution and self-destruction. In this sense we can see the crisis as a vital evolutionary driver toward our next stage of maturation as a species. The Wheel is designed to foster non-linear, exponential connectivity and interaction among innovations now working. It fosters continuing social synergy in action. It assists the system in cooperating in its own self transcendence. I believe that when it is functioning, it will serve as a social magnet or attractor that can pull us across the gap in time toward the next stage of human evolution. The Wheel is a context for new "memes" or ideas that self organize in functional clusters based on What is Working. Together these "memelets" begin to form a memetic code. We have just mapped the genome project. This can be the "memome project." As genes create bodies, memes create cultures. Most of our modern memes are either really destructive, or fading rapidly. There is nothing more important than identifying and connecting the memes that can and indeed already are optimizing our future during the transition of our birth as a universal humanity. (See my Evolutionary Synthesis paper, which is a framework to identify the meme-builders in the Evolution of the Universe, the Evolution of Evolution, the Evolution of Society and the Evolution of the Person, seen as one integrated process of emergence now actually happening but as yet invisible to most of us. ) At the center of the Wheel we can symbolize the Core of the Spiral breaking through, informing our own process of creation with there same power of coordination with which the Process brought atom with atom and cell with cell. It is the Still Point of the Turning Spiral. The Center of the Wheel can be felt subjectively in our heart and soul as an emanation of the process of creation. It is the "soul of evolution" become conscious within us as our own motivation to evolve. It is experienced personally as our own yearning to evolve and participate. It can be cultivated collectively as our shared experience of the process of creation, or the Consciousness Force, universal co-intelligence , God. This is the way the Holy Spirit, or the designing intelligence, or whatever name we call it, is now breaking through into human consciousness, not as a religion or a dogma , but as our indwelling, divine creativity and calling to participate in the repatterning of our world. We can visualize around the glowing flame a sacred circle representing the whole system design, the evolutionary design space, our collective awareness of the implicate order becoming explicate through us. In a "mature" Wheel of Cocreation every sector of the Wheel already includes major innovations in health, education, economics, energy, governance, media, etc that are already manifesting "golden innovations," projects successfully working toward greater sustainability, self-sufficiency, wholeness, creativity,re generativity , compassion, evolvability. etc. There is the opportunity here to bring together at various scales key innovators to share with one another what they know that works, so that they can discover the greater synergies among the innovations now transforming the world. We can envision an initiative to bring together at least 12 people who are master innovators in every sector of the Wheel, like Hazel Henderson in Economics, Jean Houston in Human Creativity, Deepak Chopra and Andrew Weil in Health, Amory Lovins and Bill Mcdonough in Environment, Rinaldo Brutoco in Business, Barbara Fields in spirituality and spirit-motivated social action, etc. They would spend enough time with each other to share with each other what they already know that works, and to discover the synergy among what they know, and to connect the vast networks with which each of them are already connected . Through this process we would discover that the new team is here, in many places, the new leadership is at work, and the new world is being born in our midst right now. Such coming together of leading innovators could form the basis of cocreative politics, and could be offered to the people at any scale in various campaigns. Local SYNCONS could be held to bring diverse groups together and to discover what is working in localities. This process can be done at any scale. As a Coordinating Hub guides the SYNCON, so its "Wholly Hosts" focuses the Wheel. These are people who are skilled at whole systems design and social networking. Although the system must be self-organizing, the hosts have the responsibility of continually helping to connect people who need each other. Ideally these hosts would include brilliant entrepreneurs and philanthropists who can help people see how things can work better. The hosts are responsible for the New News, which is to flow from the Wheel. This new news is not just a series of stories about good works. It is actually the drama of a species grappling with extinction of evolution. It is far more compressive than a Tolstoy novel of War and Peace. The drama and art of conscious evolution needs to be developed. It is the story of the age. There is nothing more exciting or demanding. Now Paul Hawkens has a fab antifear message. Inspiration... "Wall upon wall surrounds your prison cell so that it seems almost impossible that you will ever break out and make contact with the richness of life and love and freedom that lies beyond your prison fortress. And yet the task far from being impossible, is actually easy and delightful. What can you do to break out? Four things: First, realize that you are surrounded by prison walls, that your mind has gone to sleep. It does not even occur to most people to see this, so they live and die as prison inmates. Most people end up being conformists; they adapt to prison life. A few become reformers; they fight for better living conditions in the prison, better lighting, better ventilation. Hardly anyone becomes a rebel a revolutionary who breaks down the prison walls. You can only be a revolutionary when you see the prison walls in the first place." Way to Love, Anthony De Mello http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzMPUKAXM7U Paul Hawkens, Blessed Unrest— Bioneers 2006 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiJNeln-1zs Paul Hawkens.

Knowledge and technology accelerating exponentially. With acceleration doubling every decade. Evolution creates a capability and then uses that capability to advance the next state, that is why the pace of change accelerates…from one paradigm shift to another. Nano manufactured solar panels collecting 1% of solar energy could take cure of 100% of our energy needs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEf7kQQZQSk Barbara Marx Hubbard www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbCqfG1n-0c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X_HDSQXMI0 Starlab http://meaningoflife.tv/ David White …the venerable mother lode of so much of this are the whole earth catalogs and [the] offshoot magazine co-evolution quarterly/ whole earth review. Its contributors read like the fillmore west of conciousness, land use, ecology, appropriate technology,personal computing etc. etc., paul hawken among them…another offshoot was the WELL, a 1985 pioneering community internet forum. (Henry) On reading the above I suddenly had a flashback to Vandy, early Spring, 1971 when Vandy had its annual week where the student governing body brought in speakers and performances etc. related to the cutting socio- political edge. There was a name for it which I have forgotten. Scene: the big auditorium. Speaker: the recently late Robert Theobald, Futurist. He predicted that night, unlike any other futurist at the time, that one of the major changes in this culture would come out of a growing number of people putting together telephone linked networks of miniature computers that they would have sitting on their desks in their homes and offices. This was before the PC was much more than a gleam in the IBM eye. I had recently edited a magazine symposium on the future of progressive politics (featuring articles by Todd Gitlin (http://www.toddgitlin.net/) and Arthur Waskow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Waskow) and myself) which Theobald included in a anthology for use as college level futurist text book, so I was in touch with him for a period following that event. He was putting together such a network at that time with himself and a handful of bright youngsters who were building computers out of Tandy/Radio Shack components. I stayed abreast of him and this work for several years but gradually fell away, never having been much of a techie, so I don't know if much of what he was doing then made it into the internet as we know it now. Who knows maybe he had an influence on Gates and Job. (A friend and partner in various journalistic crimes, Frye Gaillard, had been, the previous year, organizer of the above event and had brought in Eldridge Cleaver as the main speaker...evidently quite a stir about that one. Gaillard was later prominant in the expose of Jim and Tammy Faye Baker.) (Steven) of the whole earth crowd, stewart brand, howard rheingold and kevin kelly among several others merit a google. From counterculture to cyberspace. I wish i had paid closer attention, but my eyes were glazed over from the magazine's previous space colony hysteria... a couple of people from "the farm" were instrumental in starting up "the well". remember stephen gaskin's buses(caravan) rolling through nashville in '70 or '71 steven?.. an original lifetime "maniacal subscriber" to co-evolution quarterly was marlon brando of los angeles california 8 (Henry) Paul Hawken (no 's' on the end) certainly has an impressive resume, one that, on moderately close examination, suggests that he is a man born of privilege. There is nothing wrong with that, however it shows that he has never had reason to doubt whatever it was that led him to say that the world to date was created by the privileged, for the privileged. If he had said that to a convention of non-hack historians instead of a group of probably slightly less than privileged environmentalists (in U.S. terms at least) he would have been ridden off the stage on a rail because it is just not true. But it is the conventional wisdom and thus it is effective propaganda. It sets up a straw man (or straw class in this instance) in a very interesting, nonviolent sort of way. But it does not do anything to counter the way the myth has promoted and continues to reinforce a victim mentality. It continues to further American's AADD credulity toward hack journalism and hack history and so it is perfectly geared to fit into U-Tube's brainlessly superficial formats. (French anarchist and theologian, Jacques Ellul, called this "agitation propaganda," that which seeks to get people worked up enough to do something. He also had a category "integrating propaganda," that which seeks to get people feeling warm and fuzzy and nestled into their culture, their status, or whatever. Ellul wrote his pessimistic critique of techno-media propaganda the same year McLuhan wrote Understanding Media and I wonder if Baudrillard didn't rely on Ellu's assessment of media and propaganda 30 years later in describing his version of "Integral Man.") This does not discredit Hawken's main point about all those people doing all those things, but the context of the point starts to look manipulative. He's putting his audience into the Big Time League of New Movers and Shakers (sort of like KW painting all his people that attractive turquoise they so like to see when looking in the meditational mirror). It is a good technique and can probably get the male vertebrate in question some, at least, of what he wants. S. P.S. henry, yes, I was there, I was there. I was there the night Gaskin told the overflow crowd in an auditorium at Peabody that it was "macrobiotic" for a mountain lion to eat meat, so we should all cut them some slack. I thought that was really big of the man. (Steven) Heck i was going out of my way to find some "good" news and you poop on my parade, looks like I will have to try harder. Yea saying that the world was created by the priviledged is like saying that females were the victims of the patriarchy instead of 50% of the cause. Ok, I did some homework and AC [Andrew Cohen] is not so lost. In fact he is damn clear. The urgency thing is "creative urgency" like sexual urgency...hence this evolutionary enlightenment shtick is not for slackers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0HwqGUkxbA&mode=related&search= — Being and Becoming, Andrew Cohen…now the postmodern enlightenment is the conscious creation of the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abbWHLagQao Andrew Cohen, Israel www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY_zwVQQjXo&mode=related&search= —The evolutionary impulse is unreasonable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3aatdEjFBw&NR=1 —Moral Development www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnETVXKkvNU&mode=related&search= — Creative Friction I watched the longest of the Cohen vids. It is the most coherent presentation by him I have seen yet. I think he is moving in the direction of saying that god is indistinguishable from the Universe, or the Universe is indistinguishable from god; and this is a universe that includes the non- manifest ground of being. This sounds as if Cohen is embracing the Unitarian's doctrine—that is if Unitarian Doctrine isn't a oxymoron. The vid reminded me of an article I read recently (sorry, lost the address) where someone was commenting a little on a KW passage where he wrote that Spirit was to the Universe what wetness is to water.(I immediately thought the question: if water was sensate would it know that it was wet?) Next I wondered if the Wilber-Cohen Junta wasn't putting together a Nature Religion for the 21st Century? In the last analysis it gets down to the basics of what you think, how you feel, about god or spirit is what you think and feel about the Universe and vice-versa. If one believes in a beneficent god, then one must believe in a beneficent universe. But if one does not believe in god then does it stand to reason that one does not believe in the Universe? Or would they say, "unevolved you, you just can't see the god for the universe." (Or they could say to one who was for transcendence uber alles, "Too evolved you, you just can't see the universe for the god.) Have I got any of this right or does it sound as if W-C just converted to liberal protestantism? I am just glad that a "teacher" has broken from that stuffy vedantan trap of navel gazing at Nothing. The "Being and Becoming", is I thought a masterpiece of video history. I had been beating up on AC thinking he was doing the petty tyrant male guru thing, while vestiges of this might remain in the context of his own community, it is apparent that his philosophy has risen beyond the self-referential limitation of patriarchial hierarchy. From the clips I got that the Wilber-Cohen "God" has moved beyond a theosophical concept, to a more "lived experience of the living spirit itself." As such you cannot really call it Nature worship, so much as getting back to the essence of Gnostic Workship...which is the deep sense of unity with the Universe that is shot through all the ancient traditions from Sumer (Iraq) and Egypt onwards...always falling down into a material bureaucracy. Due to the ego's preditorial power lust to gain dominance over Spirit itself. If this time we can really get "who is boss" and who is the servant, perhaps the Wilber- Cohen God will have a more significant impact on human evolution. well since the thread has drifted in the AC/KW direction i thought it would be interesting to check out this latest posting from RAM for those who havn't seen it. talking about intentional communities and the cultish shadow side. http://www.robertmasters.com/newsletter/October2007.pdf (http://www.robertmasters.com/newsletter/October2007.pdf) Thanks Henry, I missed that one. RAM is more optimistic than me that community is possible...I tend to see all human activity as tribal and cultic...however we don't get anywhere by throwing in the towel and succombing to the notion that we are eternal f*ups. If anyone can crack open cultism its RAM :o AC's speel is so good, I don't particularly care if he has a dysfunctional community—since we live in a dysfunctional world I wonder if functional relationship is even possible. The one red flag for me was when AC said that the new "chosen people" is those that are hip and active in evolutionary spirituality. The tendency in times of stress is to create special preferential bonds, however Spirit in order to survive, needs to be wild, it needs to roam the entire globe, not hang out with like-minded chosen people that will have everlasting life because of their joint belief system. It is this kind of thing that needs to be consciously routed out of all these Fab teachers programs who at this point in the game should know better. It is up to us audience to call a fish when we see it. I request that AC stop creating exclusion- preferential bonds with his flock...any such egostroking defense and security measures will be the downfall of the very thing he is so eloquently striving for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxROglke1xE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yir45VqDzg&NR=1 There is the no-self, and there is the Self. Self-dissolution is only "half" of the equation. AC is on the right track both with group evolving and the urgent need to put spirit into action. Spirituality has been used as a tranquilizer and antidepressant for too long...medicating ourselves into stupification however is not a truly human life—and will only speed the apocaplyse. I don't even acknowledge the nondual in Zeropoint Unified Field, because polar particles spin out of it in their opposite charges, and my sense is that spin exists within ZPE itself...the entire universe is asymmetric. Even if one holds nondual concepts in the mind, the mind IS a digital dualistic computer, it identifies opposites, that is its job. Nondual realization only occurs during samadhi when the mind, all motor control, the world, everything has dissapeared...as soon as the Being returns to this world you are back in dualism again, with the very first thought. So the whole concept of nondual spirituality is a prescienfific, sloppy interpretation of the samadhi state. In fact they should really call it nondualling, because nondualists always go on about Nothing and fight as though they have a "position", well if they have a position, they are not nondual...to be nondual you have to be a perfectly symmetrical amorphous jellyfish in a perfectly symmetrical universe prior to spin, prior to consciousness, prior to matter! The over-riding sense from satsang with Ady or Gangaji is the pleasure of hte blasting of the tower of Babel, but they offer no skill, sense of direction or any ideas on how to live a life beyond the tower of Babel. In this sense AC and KW represent some of the few Sp.teachers that are pointing a way into the future. That is if you need Sp.teachers. Evolution is already what is. Nondualism without evolutionary-action, is simply hearing the message Herald forth from the Abyss and then sitting around endlessly grooving on the sound of the message itself...rather than enacting its instructions. I think it is kinda funny now the drama that unfolded back in India around AC and Gangaji...when Sri HWL Poonjaji blessed Gangaji with the job of taking Vedanta to the West, while he chastized AC for deviating from the original teaching. AC was not granted teacher statis within that tradition, but he has gone on to be far more effective in THIS world than Gangaji who can only recite the original self-dissolving message. Simply self-dissolving in a time of crisis will lead to complete collapse of civilization, because self-dissolving is addictive and you can do it for lifetimes. However in order to be fully human, and resoponding to the true call of evolution, you need to do the building and action...that is the CREATIVE side of the equation as well. The dissolving is only there to provide space for the NEW to manifest. The damnedable thing is, the seemingly inevitable way that the "Voice of Spirit" morphs, develops, devolves into ideology to kill and die for, and/or into media products for consumption. To me at this point, it comes down to: which will be more important? Ideology with all its deadly baggage or the recognition and reduction of suffering? Do we really need Spirituality to deal with our problems? I wonder... I wonder if anyone actually heard this girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZsDliXzyAY Yes, in light of the current world crisis we have to question the very nature of our spirituality altogether...because we won't get a second chance...our time is running out. We have to ask ourselves "For whom does the Grail serve?" For whom does our Spirit serve? Is our enlightenment merely for our own betterment, or are we really awake and making a difference. We have to change the way we think, feel, relate, do business...we have to change our reason for "existing." If our spiritual path distracts us from our eco-logical dharma, then we better get onto another spiritual path quick smart. The cure for cancer is prevention. The cure for global suicide is prevention. We must give up our "disease producing"-"fix it" ways and learn to live in harmony with Nature from the ground up—or we will be undone BY Nature. Permaculture Global Report site http://www.permacultureglobalreport.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdnV1umiJpo&NR=1 Open Sourcing Free Energy Systems, Sterling Allan, pureenergysystems.com newenergynews.com Hey, In re: Andrew Cohen, y'all might find this at Open Integral (http://www.openintegral.net/blog/?p=243) of interest. S. Amigos, I listened closely to articulate 12 year old Severn in her speech on behalf of the ECO that Michael posted recently in this thread. I must answer because I live next door to ranchos, the Venezuelan equivalent to the favelas of Brazil: impromptu housing concocted by the very low income groups. And I live in daily contact with their inhabitants. Poverty is there and lack of much of what we´d consider basic living needs is there. But I want to tell you in no uncertain terms: this is NOT SIMPLY because they don't have income or education or do-gooders who would cover their ´needs´. Their needs are just not inspired by the same stars as little Severn assumes. The boy who told her that if he were rich he´d give food and clothes and medicine and affection to the needy people in his world might be one of the occasional, rare and tangible exceptions. ´Oh, com´n Marianthi´, you might say. But I´ve walked these fields, since the age of 8 and I had a 10 year sojourn in Canada , so I know the contrasting minds and lands of the ´developed´world vs. the ´third´ world. I´ll speak by example. In a ranchos town a few hours from where I live there was a drums festival by the locals. After driving there and enjoying their percussions and skill for a few hours I asked for the use of a toilet. No house had one - but all houses had television. A local lady brought out a plastic basin for my needs and encouraged me to empty it in the bush. When I brought up the subject of T.V. vs. toilets with her she just said that T:V. ´nos hace falta´ (we need it) but with toilets, ´nos las arreglamos´(we manage), obiously by means of basins and bushes. When the read-write campaign started recently round here aimed at recruiting adult population of the ranchos who did not know how to read or write and could thus learn the skills, the majority did not attend (I practically tried to force the man working on my garden to go, but he said ´I´m not good for that stuff, it gives me a headache´. To those that money scholarships were given to encourage them, quite a few used it to buy washing machines or fridges or replace old ones and they never attended classes. I know only ONE woman, of the hundreds near here, who actually took up the challenge, at least for a while. And to repeat a story (posted at IN long ago) of the woman who used to help me clean my house, who came from those same strata, who at age 34 had child no. 7 by man number 6 ,around Christmas time 2 years ago, she´d cry out to me: ´no money for baby milk!´. I gave her a triple Christmas bonus equivalent to 3 salaries. She spent ALL of it getting grey contact lenses (imported and expensive in these latitudes) for herself so she´d look good and be talked about at the barrios Christmas parties – and no money for a drop of baby milk. Immediate gratification mind-dimension rules. So, who are we to judge by OUR yardsticks what makes the únderpriviled´ life and what makes the ´privileged´one? We simply assume that our level of comfort and security marks a universal notch of ´basic human needs´ , giving rise to a ´decent life´. What IS a DECENT life? What umbrella assumptions cover that one? Enough for now. :wave: Marianthi I think you're right about the masses on the "lower end" of things getting caught up in the un-self-serving gratifying of their immediate needs in an purely ego-centric way. that is the nature of the human animal response, unenlightened, for sure, but even the "enlightened ones" as we've seen, are not all that enlightened and the base reactions have their way of popping out of the shadows. i think the girls impassioned pleas were a good thing for the leaders to hear, to remind them to walk the talk of the basic teachings we give to kids to function in society. all too often those lessons are forgotten with age and the distractions of running the world. I can't find out if Mark DeMucha's movie The Tesla Conspiracy is out yet. In 1931 Tesla produced an electric motor for a Pierce-Arrow car made with vacuum tubes which must have run off zero point…hear Pt.5 of Coast to Coast with Nooney. Also in The Excalibur Briefing by Tom Bearden he says that Dr T. Henry Moray (UT) also produced a zeropoint electric device with valves that cost $500 each to make around the early 1900s. What we have in America now (and worldwide) is the oilmen selling the country out. Politics must be for show only, there doesn't seem to be any foresight or planning. Michigan is collapsing as the car industry folds, I hear even the drug companies are going under. Had the alternative technologies been allowed to grow this recession might have been avoided…if the car industry had adopted Tesla's electric motor, the world would be a lot quieter, less polluted, less people dead from war, the drug industry that feeds the CIA that looks after the oil barons interests would be reduced, the US wouldn't have to bully other countries into coughing up their resources…we would be far better off spiritually and intellectually, further along in the sciences, the land would be less depleted of minerals as there would be less acid rain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzxvhA72vGI 1-11 Parts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJBzwN_WKRg The Tesla Conspiracy: Mark DeMucha Pt.5

A printing system for increasing the printing speed of a multi-color printer when utilized in a single color mode by repositioning a recording head cartridge from a first level to a second level so as to enable at least two lines of information to be created upon the surface to be marked during a single scanning pass when it has been determined that the cartridge mounted in the repositionable support is the same color as the single color recording head cartridge.
1. A printing apparatus including a carriage reciprocably movable in a line scan direction and supporting a plurality of marking devices thereon for recording a line of information upon a recording medium, said apparatus being characterized by including
holder means supported upon said carriage for removably receiving said plurality of marking devices normally at a first level so as to record a single line of information with said marking devices as said carriage is reciprocated relative to said recording medium, and
static repositioning means associated with said holder means and said marking devices for selectively positioning at least one of said marking devices relative to the other ones of said marking devices at a second level for recording more than one line of information during a single line scan of said carriage,
said at least one of said marking devices includes a mounting feature,and
said holder means includes receiving means capable of accepting said mounting feature, so that when said receiving means accepts said mounting feature, said at least one of said marking devices is located at said first level, and when said receiving means does not accept said mounting feature, said at least one of said marking devices is located at said second level.
2. The printing apparatus as defined in claim 1 characterized by said marking devices including inks of different colors for recording said line of information, and wherein when said at least one of said marking devices includes ink of the same color as one of said other ones of said marking devices its mounting feature is not accepted by said receiving means and it is movable to said second level for recording more than one line of information in said same color during a single line scan.
3. A method of printing including the steps of
mounting two marking devices into a holder supported upon a scanning carriage,
comparing identifying elements appearing on each of said marking devices to determine if they are the same,
if said identifying elements are different, then arranging the marking data to said marking devices for single line printing, and
if said identifying elements are the same, then elevating one of said marking devices and arranging the marking data to said marking devices for twoline printing.
This invention relates to a multi-color printing system having a carriage supporting several marking heads arranged side-by-side for scanning movement, to record a line of information, across a surface to be marked. At least one of the marking heads is supported for being repositioned, in the direction transverse to the scanning direction, to enable at least two lines of information to be recorded during a single scanning pass.
Non-impact recording methods in the form of ink jet printing, thermal transfer printing and thermal sublimation printing are presently of considerable interest because of their capability for achieving high print speeds, their quiet operation and their capability for producing full color, highlight color and monochrome recordings. The present invention will be described relative to the ink jet recording process, although it should be understood that it is equally applicable to other recording techniques employing scanning recording heads.
In such scanning type printers, the recording heads are mounted upon a reciprocable carriage which is selectively moved across the recording substrate to record a single line of information. Then the recording substrate is moved normal to the scanning direction by a single line increment and recording is repeated while scanning with the recording heads, in either the same or the opposite direction. Each recording head includes an array of mark producing elements arranged in a direction generally parallel to the direction of movement of the recording substrate. The full page is printed one full line at a time. A scanning-type printer of this type, of the monochrome variety having a single head cartridge, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,628,332 (Matsumoto) wherein the recording head cartridge is mountable onto a cartridge holder which, in turn, is mounted on the scanning carriage.
The ink jet recording process, in the form to which the present invention applies, involves the selective propulsion of droplets of an ink recording liquid from a scanning recording head onto a spaced recording substrate (such as paper or a projection transparency) upon which it adheres and dries. Propulsion may be accomplished by any one of several known methods for imparting pressure increases to confined portions of the ink adjacent the ejection orifice. Examples of such pressure inducing devices are piezoelectric elements, acoustic generators, magnetic compressors or heater elements. The latter device, for creating a drop-on-demand, initially heats the confined ink to rapidly expand it into a bubble which then bursts, forming a pressure wave which expells a droplet quantity of ink through the nozzle orifice. This method has gained in popularity because it is possible to simply and inexpensively fabricate the nozzle orifices and driving heaters by photolithographic thin film electronic methods, so as to produce recording heads including a dense array of orifices and related drivers (e.g. 50 per 1/6 inch) for recording images of high resolution. Another advantage of the heater-type pressure transducers is their capability of very fast refiring times, enabling high speed operation.
The cartridge method of ink jet printing lends itself to full-color printing and highlight color printing as readily as it does to monochrome printing. In monochrome printing a single cartridge (usually black) is moved by the reciprocable carriage. In full-color printing, several recording head cartridges containing colored inks (yellow, cyan and magenta) are mounted for scanning movement upon the carriage along with a black ink containing cartridge. It is possible, however, to produce process black by adding the three colors. Highlight color requires only two cartridges, usually black and one other color, such as red or yellow. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,528,576 (Koumura et al) there is disclosed a full-color ink jet printer of the type including four heads. These are shown arranged in two configurations: one is the well known side-by-side orientation, and the other is a stacked orientation in which the four heads are positioned one over the other in the process (paper movement) direction, so that the arrays extend normal to the direction of scanning. In the side-by-side full color printing arrangement, the information on a single line is recorded by selectively operating all of the heads, as needed, in each line pass. In the stacked full-color arrangement a single color head is selectively fired during each line pass, so that at least three passes are necessary to complete the information needed for each line. When it is desred to accomplish monochrome printing with the full-color and highlight color devices, a single recording head (usually black) is fired for each line pass. All other cartridges will be inoperative.
During the design phase of the development of an ink jet scanning printer, the maximum speed of recording is achieved by optimizing the several operational parameters which control the maximum speed of the scanning carriage. These are, among others, the number of nozzles in the marking head array, the drop generation rate, the drop velocity, the carriage motor characteristics, and the data rate. While it is sometimes possible to increase the speed of recording by a small increment, such a change is often inconvenient or trivial in a given printer.
It is an object of the present invention to multiply the printing speed of a multi-color printer, when operated in the monochrome mode, by a factor of two or three, or more by selectively vertically repositioning at least one of the cartridge holders so that at least two cartridges of the same color will be able to print simultaneously at least two adjacent lines during a single line scan.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dynamic elevating arrangement which will simply, efficiently and accurately move the repositionable holder and its cartridge to a raised position.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a static elevating arrangement in which the cartridge holder is designed to accept a repositionable cartridge only in an elevated position.
It is another object of the present inventin to provide a monochrome printer with the capability of printing a second line simultaneously at different selected line spacings.
These and other objects may be achieved, in one form, by providing a printing apparatus having a scanning carriage movable transversely across a recording medium and carrying thereon a plurality of marking head cartridges at a first level. At least one of the head cartridges is repositionable so as to be elevated to a second level. The first and second levels represent subsequent print lines. Elevation may be achieved either dynamically by means of a movable cartridge holder or statically by means of a unique cartridge seating arrangement. Thus, when the repositionable cartridge is elevated, it is possible to print simultaneously on the first and second levels, i.e. printing two lines during a single scan, thereby doubling the speed of operation. It is also comprehended by this invention that another repositionable cartridge may be elevated to a third level, for tripling the speed of operation.
Other objects and further features and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the following, more particular, description considered together with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Turning now to FIG. 1, there is shown a multi-color printing mechanism 10 including a carriage 12 mounted for reciprocation (in the direction of arrow (A) upon guide rails 14 and 16 secured to the frame (not shown) of the printer. Although the mechanism will be described in the context of an ink jet printer, it should be understood that the present invention has equal applicability to any type of scanning array printer. The carriage is driven rightwardly and leftwardly upon the guide rails by any suitable mechanism such as a drive belt 18 supported between idler pulley 20 and drive pulley 22, and driven by motor 24. A number of recording head cartridges 26Y, 26C, 26M and 26BL (for delivering yellow, cyan, magenta and black ink) may be mounted in a cartridge holder, provided on the carriage 12, in order to make full-color recordings. Each cartridge holder will include the appropriate mechanical, electrical and fluidic couplings for its respective head cartridge, so that the arrays of ink drivers may be activated in response to a drive signal to expel the inks through the arrays of nozzle orifices onto a recording substrate 28, such as paper, supported upon a platen 30. During full-color operation, the head cartridges 26(Y,C,M,BL) are normally positioned so that their marking arrays are located on a first level. Similarly, in FIG. 1A highlight color recording is accomplished by scanning a recording substrate with two head cartridges, one black 26BL and one red 26R. In the past when it was desired to record information solely in black, 26BL was operated and the three other cartridges 26Y, 26C and 26M, or the highlight color cartridge 26R, were unused.
It is the purpose of the present invention to dramatically increase the speed of printing by utilizing at least one of the unused cartridge locations for another black head cartridge 32BL. This is shown in dotted lines in FIGS. 1 and 1A in which 32BL is elevated to a second level. As the carriage 12 reciprocates in front of the recording substrate 28, two lines of information 34 and 36 are recorded simultaneously. This doubles the speed of printing. It is also possible, during monochrome printing, to replace others of the unused first level recording heads with a repositionable head cartridge of the monochrome color and to provide an elevating arrangement to reposition them to a third or higher level.
Several embodiments of elevating structure are illustrated. In FIG. 2, a recording head cartridge 38 is shown mounted in a vertically movable cartridge holder 40 provided on the carriage 12. The cartridge is located to be slightly spaced from the recording substrate 28 supported by platen 30. A line height array of nozzle orifices (not shown) dispenses ink upon the substrate as the carriage scans across the substrate. The "home", or first level position of the cartridge array is indicated by its centerline "a". Suitable physical, electrical and fluidic interconnections are made between the head cartridge and the cartridge holder. By way of example, only the electrical connector 42 is shown. In order to faciliate smoothness of movement for accurate vertical positioning of the head cartridge linear bearing 44 is provided on opposing supporting walls. The linear bearing includes grooves 46 and 48 formed respectively in the carriage body and cartridge holder, ball elements 50 seated within the grooves, and separators 52 for properly positioning the balls. Extending downwardly from the bottom of the cartridge holder is an arm 54 to which is secured a gear rack 56.
The repositioning drive system comprises a motor 58 (preferably of the stepper type) upon whose output shaft 60 is mounted a worm 62. A support arm 64 secured to the carriage supports a worm gear 66 which, in turn, drives coaxially mounted pinion 68 that meshes with rack 56. As this arrangement includes a large gear reduction, it allows the use of a very small motor and additionally it improves the accuracy of positioning by requiring a large number of motor steps for a small movement of the cartridge holder. The correct number of steps can be selected to move the head cartridge 38 from its home position ("a") to the desired second level positions of "b" or "c" representing the array centerline at a line spacing of six or eight lines per inch.
An alternative, manually operated, repositioning mechanism is shown in FIG. 3 and related FIGS. 4, 5 and 6. Elements similar to those of the FIG. 2 structure bear the same identification numerals with a prime (') added, and will not be described. This elevating mechanism includes cam follower rollers 70 supported upon shafts 72, secured in cavities 74 of cartridge holder 40'. Associated with each cam follower roller is a cam 76, each of which is mounted upon cam shaft 78 secured in the carriage 12'. Also mounted upon the cam shaft are a spring washer 80 housed in seat 82 in the carriage 12' and a handle 84. The biasing action of the spring washer against its seat urges the handle 84 against the carriage so as to urge one of three positioning detents 86a, 86b, or 86c into a seat 88 in the carriage wall.
In FIG. 4, the handle 84 is in its "home" position. As the handle is moved in a clockwise direction, the cartridge holder 40' is vertically elevated against the bias of tension spring 90 having one end secured to the carriage 12 and its other end secured to the cartridge holder. The spring urges these two bodies together so as to bias the cam follower rollers against their respective cams. A cam profile is illustrated in FIG. 5 and its displacement diagram is illustrated in FIG. 6. Cam 76 has dwells at about the 0� or "a" position, at about the 180� or "b" position and again at about the 240� or "c" postion. As explained above, the "a" position represents the centerline of the first level, or "home" position, and the "b" and "c" positions represent the centerlines of two possible second levels. The "b" centerline is elevated by 0.125 inches (8 lines/inch) above the "a" centerline and the "c" centerline is elevated by 0.167 inches (6 lines/inch). Since the dwells each subtend an angle of about 20�, slight angular deviation of the cam is not critical, thus allowing accurate positioning of the movable head cartridge regardless of the precise positioning of cam 76 upon shaft 78 or precise manual rotation of handle 84.
The FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D partial schematic drawings illustrate a static elevating arrangement wherein each cartridge, when seated in a cartridge holder, will be located at its proper height in accordance with a predetermined mounting relationship. Cartridges 92 containing black ink would be configured as shown in FIG. 7A, i.e. having a key protrusion 94 (one protusion is preferably provided at each end of the cartridge to insure its stability). Cartridges 96 containing other ink colors would be configured with no key protrusion, as shown in FIG. 7B. Cartridge holders 98, of the FIG. 7C type, receive a cartridge in seat 100 having undercut 102 for receiving the key protrusion 94 of a black cartridge so as to locate its marking array at the first level. Cartridge holders 104 of the FIG. 7D type, receive a cartridge in seat 106 having no undercut, so that the non-black ink cartridges 96 will be located with their marking arrays at the first level and black ink cartridges 92 will be located with their marking arrays at the second level. By modifying the height of the key protrusion 94, it is possible to locate the second level at some other distance from the first level, such as at the "b" or "c" position. Therefore, when it is desired to print monochromatically, one of the non-black head cartridges is removed and replaced by a standard black cartridge which will automatically be elevated by virtue of its key protrusion.
The flow chart of FIG. 8 illustrates the automatic operation of the multicolor printer of this invention, as shown either in the full-color embodiment of FIG. 1 or in the highlight color embodiment of FIG. 1A, under the control of a printer microprocessor (not shown). It is assumed for the purposes of the following explanation that only one head cartridge will be repositionable and that one will represent the monochrome recording cartridge. It is further assumed that each cartridge will bear a conductive pad, or other identifying signal generator, such as a switch actuating pin, which can be sensed by the printer to determine the color of ink therein. As indicated at 108, each of the monochrome and repositionable cartridges 26 is interrogated to determine the color of its ink. A comparison is made at 110 to determine whether or not the repositioning command is to be executed. If the inks are not the same color, the instruction 112 is provided so that the repositionable cartridge is not raised and the data is arranged for single line full-color or highlight color printing, which is then accomplished at 114. If the inks are the same color, the instruction 116 is provided so that the repositionable cartridge is raised to the second level and the data is arranged for two-line printing, which is then accomplished at 118.
It should be understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example, and that numerous changes in details of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

After five years of graduate school, I am still very grateful for the strong educational foundation I received on which to build a career. I also commend the faculty at BVU for introducing and encouraging me to participate in the summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, which ultimately led to additional educational opportunities following my time at BVU."

Product Reviews
Kachimfya5 Stars Out Of 5Happy Buy!June 1, 2015KachimfyaQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5We are most definitely happy with the purchase, and the princess quotes are definitely doing wonders. Lovely Bible, very cute. Thank you!!
Pam2 Stars Out Of 5DisappointedMay 6, 2015PamQuality: 0Value: 0Meets Expectations: 0Cover very cute. Inside very small print. Only about 3 pictures. It is not Bible stories like most children's Bibles...it is the normal Bible. I was looking for a 3 year old...she needs the Bible in stories to understand.
vwoolvert2 Stars Out Of 5Disappointing!!February 7, 2015vwoolvertQuality: 2Value: 2Meets Expectations: 1So excited to buy 4 for our granddaughters & they were even more excited to get beautiful personalized Bibles! Became disappointed quickly when they saw tiny print--very hard to read! If I hadn't had them personalized I would have returned all! Girls are sad that it's almost impossible for even them to see!!
KRIS5 Stars Out Of 5My Princess Loves it!January 28, 2015KRISQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5My 3 and a half year old loves this bible! She was ready for an upgrade from her My First Bible Stories and this is perfect! It is small enough for her to hold and carry herself. She loves to flip through the pages and look at the colorful pictures (she can not read yet). This bible will suit her for at least a few more years.
KAZ5 Stars Out Of 5Wonderful ServiceJanuary 27, 2015KAZQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I ordered these bibles for a christening and they came with the surname spelled incorrectly and I needed to give them straight away. I decided to contact Christian Books and let them know anyway and was provided with two more bibles with the correct inscription at no cost to me....thanks so much for that!
Ask Christianbook
Q: is this a large print bible? the description of this bible claims that it is a large print bible. but the reviews say that the print is tiny. i wondered if anyone can tell me if they have bought this particular bible and do they know if the print is small?
This Bible is printed in 11 point text, which is considerably larger than standard Bible text.

Congratulations GIMH, and well done to the organisers of this year's event.

text: /> Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports, said the annual payments of $700 million over the last three years of the original deal would have been a load for the network. "As a practical matter, to generate the kind of revenue and exposure that was needed to complete this deal ... we needed a cable partner and needed the assets of Turner to make this package complete for CBS," he said. CBS and Turner Sports also will coordinate production of the games to provide consistent telecasts. McManus said the coverage will continue to include "look-ins" of other games. The NCAA tournament is the latest sports brand Turner has added to its growing sports portfolio, which includes the NBA, WNBA and a baseball package that includes TV rights to the first round of the playoffs and one of the two league championships. The Turner networks have large viewership bases. TBS is available in 100.4 million homes, TNT 99.4 million and truTV 92.4 million. CBS reaches 114.5 million homes.
