Daily Reflections (Meditations) on the Scriptures from the Roman Catholic Lectionary.
No full textIn today's Gospel reading we see that Jesus' words are not enough to convince the skeptics that He is Christ. Jesus proclaims:|The works I do in my Father's name testify to me.|But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep.|My sheep hear my voice|I am immediately drawn to the imagery of active listening. The Gospel reading illustrates how the skeptics are not listening carefully to Jesus' words, nor are they attentive to His works. Kay Lindahl, author of Listening: A Sacred Art and a Spiritual Practice, states: "to become a listening presence we need to prepare – not only to listen to others, but also to listen to ourselves and to listen to God." Let us believe in His works and embody Him as we journey through life.|Let us take time to recognize Jesus for all of his glory, and to listen carefully so that we may follow in his footsteps. "Listening is more than hearing words, and more than an act; it's an art. What do we mean by the word art? At-oneness. Those times when we are fully present with whatever we are doing are times of oneness. Some people call them holy moments." (Kay Lindahl) I encourage us all to be "at-oneness" with ourselves, with our neighbors, and most importantly with God.|As we begin our day, let us take a moment to reflect on today's readings. Let God grant us patience to listen intently and to understand his presence in our lives more fully. Let us not waiver in our faith, and let us express our faith lovingly to our brothers and sisters.|Ame
Daily Reflections (Meditations) on the Scriptures from the Roman Catholic Lectionary.
No full textThe hype of Christmas and New Year's has waned, and we are slowly adjusting back to our daily routines. We are once again inundated by work, email, homework, chores, errands - you name it! Although the Western focus of Christmas, which is centered around consumerism, is over, the Christmas/Advent season is not. We are often wrapped-up in the materialistic nature of the holiday, rather than celebrating the true meaning behind the special season, which is evident here in today's readings.|In today's Gospel reading, we hear of John the Baptist's witness to Jesus Christ. Through John's witness, we learn the truth and complexity of Jesus. He is the sacrificial lamb; He is greater than any man, because he existed before all men; As a man, He was filled and sanctioned by the Holy Spirit; As Son of God, He is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. We must understand Jesus in his fullness before we as disciples can go forth and proclaim to the world who Jesus is and what He came to do.|In knowing Him more fully, we are able to understand ourselves more fully. Let us examine ourselves truthfully. What are we called to do on this earth? How will we proclaim the Word of God? What are our fears and anxieties? What are our hopes and dreams? What are our strengths and weaknesses? During this new calendar year I encourage us all to look internally to encounter our purpose on this earth.|Moreover, we need to exhibit faith, as John the Baptist did when he saw the Spirit come down from the sky and remain upon Jesus. Although John did not know Him, he had faith that He was the Son of God. Have faith in both God and the Son he bestowed upon us. Seek God in all things, big or small. Not only should we come to know ourselves more fully by looking within, we must also look externally.|As we begin our day, let us take a moment to reflect on today's readings. Let God give us the desire to understand his presence in our lives more deeply. Let us not waiver in our faith, and let us express our faith to our brothers and sisters

20 x 20 : Twenty Years of Conundrum Press
No full text"To celebrate twenty years in operation he [Andy Brown] asked one author or artist for each year of the press who had a book out that year to contribute something new, something that represented Conundrum. For some it would have been the first book he or she had ever made. So in the end twenty Conundrumites represent twenty years, hence 20×20. There will be digging deep into the archives, there will be memoirs, there will be comics, drawings, and photographs. There will be laughter and tears of joy." -- Publisher's website

The Andy Stories
No full textThe four stories within, "Jim of India," "Shooting the Breeze," "Bridge," and "Point Reyes," are part of a longer work in progress, tentatively titled The Andy Stories. The stories follow Andy, a woman in her 50s, on a voyage across the continent and into herself. Of these, all are written in the present, except "Bridge," which is a memory of a visit to San Francisco when Andy was 12. Eventually, some of the Andy stories may stand on their own, though they were originally written in that wavery ground between short story and novel chapter. However, whether story collection or novel, the author intends this thesis to represent early drafts of what may eventually be a longer, and perhaps much different work
The Shape of Things That Came
No full textHG Wells' future history novel looks back from the year 2106. Halfway through the novel's time span, Sean Street explores what the author got almost right - or terribly wrong.
In 1933, Wells published a novel which purported to be a history of the years 1929 to 2105, received from the future in dreams. He called his book The Shape of Things to Come, a phrase that has since become a part of the English language. Now, 84 years into the time scale of this prophetic book and with 88 more to go to complete the story - poet and professor of radio Sean Street goes back to the text and explores what Wells got right, what he got wrong - and what may be yet to come.
From predicting another world war to a utopian world government, he navigates a journey through Wells' future past using audio archives and contemporary news bulletins, with expert help from Christopher Frayling, Andy Sawyer and Orson Wells.

ISSUES IN THE FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENCE, I: LANGUAGES, STRUCTURES, AND MODELS
No full textIn this first paper of a series of works on the foundations of science, we examine the significance of logical and mathematical frameworks used in foundational studies. In particular, we emphasize the distinction between the order of a language and the order of a structure to prevent confusing models of scientific theories (as set-theoretical structures) with first-order structures (called here order-1 structures), and which are studied in standard (first-order) model theory. All of us are, of course, bound to make abuses of language even in putatively precise contexts. This is not a problem—in fact, it is part of scientific and philosophical practice. But it is important to be sensitive to the dierent uses that structure, model, and language have. In this paper, we examine these topics in the context of classical logic; only in the last section we touch upon briefly on non-classical ones
