  • Yesterday, Today, and Forever Hebrews 13:8 a Sermon Preached in Duke University Chapel on August 29, 2010 by the Revd Dr Sam Wells
    Yesterday, Today, and Forever Hebrews 13:8 A Sermon preached in Duke University Chapel on August 29, 2010 by the Revd Dr Sam Wells Who are you? This is a question we only get to ask one another in the movies. The convention is for the question to be addressed by a woman to a handsome man just as she’s beginning to realize he isn’t the uncomplicated body-and-soulmate he first seemed to be. Here’s one typical scenario: the war is starting to go badly; the chief of the special unit takes a key officer aside, and sends him on a dangerous mission to infiltrate the enemy forces. This being Hollywood, the officer falls in love with a beautiful woman while in enemy territory. In a moment of passion and mystery, it dawns on her that he’s not like the local men. So her bewitched but mistrusting eyes stare into his, and she says, “Who are you?” Then there’s the science fiction version. In this case the man develops an annoying habit of suddenly, without warning, traveling in time, or turning into a caped superhero. Meanwhile the woman, though drawn to his awesome good looks and sympathetic to his commendable desire to save the universe, yet finds herself taking his unexpected and unusual absences rather personally. So on one of the few occasions she gets to look into his eyes when they’re not undergoing some kind of chemical transformation, she says, with the now-familiar, bewitched-but-mistrusting expression, “Who are you?” “Who are you?” We never ask one another this question for fear of sounding melodramatic, like we’re in a movie.

  • The New Adaption Gallery
    Introduction In 1991, a group of Heritage Center staff began meeting informally after work to discuss a Heritage Center expansion. This “committee” was formalized in 1992 by Jim Sperry, Superintendent of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, and became known as the Space Planning About Center Expansion (SPACE) committee. The committee consisted of several Historical Society staff and John Hoganson representing the North Dakota Geological Survey. Ultimately, some of the SPACE committee ideas were rejected primarily because of anticipated high cost such as a planetarium, arboretum, and day care center but many of the ideas have become reality in the new Heritage Center expansion. In 2009, the state legislature appropriated $40 million for a $52 million Heritage Center expansion. The State Historical Society of North Dakota Foundation was given the task to raise the difference. On November 23, 2010 groundbreaking for the expansion took place. Planning for three new galleries began in earnest: the Governor’s Gallery (for large, temporary, travelling exhibits), Innovation Gallery: Early Peoples, and Adaptation Gallery: Geologic Time. The Figure 1. Partial Stratigraphic column of North Dakota showing Figure 2. Plate tectonic video. North Dakota's position is indicated by the the age of the Geologic Time Gallery displays. red symbol. JULY 2014 1 Orientation Featured in the Orientation area is an interactive touch table that provides a timeline of geological and evolutionary events in North Dakota from 600 million years ago to the present.

  • Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the Eternal Unchanging Son Of
    Hebrews 13:8 The Unchanging Christ is the Same Forever Jesus Christ the Messiah is eternally trustworthy. The writer of Hebrews simply said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). In a turbulent and fast-changing world that goes from one crisis to the next nothing seems permanent. However, this statement of faith has been a source of strength and encouragement for Christians in every generation for centuries. In a world that is flying apart politically, economically, personally and spiritually Jesus Christ is our only secure anchor. Through all the changes in society, the church around us, and in our spiritual life within us, Jesus Christ changes not. He is ever the same. As our personal faith seizes hold of Him we will participate in His unchangeableness. Like Christ it will know no change, and will always be the same. He is just as faithful now as He has ever been. Jesus Christ is the same for all eternity. He is changeless, immutable! He has not changed, and He will never change. The same one who was the source and object of triumphant faith yesterday is also the one who is all-sufficient and all-powerful today to save, sustain and guide us into the eternal future. He will continue to be our Savior forever. He steadily says to us, "I will never fail you nor forsake you." In His awesome prayer the night before His death by crucifixion, Jesus prayed, "Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was" (John 17:5).

  • That's a Lot to PROCESS! Pitfalls of Popular Path Models
    1 That’s a lot to PROCESS! Pitfalls of Popular Path Models Julia M. Rohrer,1 Paul Hünermund,2 Ruben C. Arslan,3 & Malte Elson4 Path models to test claims about mediation and moderation are a staple of psychology. But applied researchers sometimes do not understand the underlying causal inference problems and thus endorse conclusions that rest on unrealistic assumptions. In this article, we aim to provide a clear explanation for the limited conditions under which standard procedures for mediation and moderation analysis can succeed. We discuss why reversing arrows or comparing model fit indices cannot tell us which model is the right one, and how tests of conditional independence can at least tell us where our model goes wrong. Causal modeling practices in psychology are far from optimal but may be kept alive by domain norms which demand that every article makes some novel claim about processes and boundary conditions. We end with a vision for a different research culture in which causal inference is pursued in a much slower, more deliberate and collaborative manner. Psychologists often do not content themselves with claims about the mere existence of effects. Instead, they strive for an understanding of the underlying processes and potential boundary conditions. The PROCESS macro (Hayes, 2017) has been an extraordinarily popular tool for these purposes, as it empowers users to run mediation and moderation analyses—as well as any combination of the two—with a large number of pre-programmed model templates in a familiar software environment. However, psychologists’ enthusiasm for PROCESS models may sometimes outpace their training.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND The new year is a time for looking back and looking forward. The year 2020 will probably go down in history for all the wrong reasons. The Covid-19 pandemic has deeply affected all of our lives. Some of us will be living with the effects of long Covid. Some of us will have lost people we love. All of us will have lost our liberty and freedom for a while. The high street has seen the disappearance of many businesses, even long-established ones, which are now gone for good. As we say good bye to the old year, we can thank God for his help and presence with us throughout it. We now face a new year and there is already much to give us hope. We have several vaccines being created and we will see the end to the Covid-19 pandemic and all its misery. Wonderful as this might be, even more wonderful is the promise that this amazing, powerful and faithful God of our past is the same God of our future.

  • A Time-Symmetric Formulation of Quantum Entanglement
    entropy Article A Time-Symmetric Formulation of Quantum Entanglement Michael B. Heaney Independent Researcher, 3182 Stelling Drive, Palo Alto, CA 94303, USA; [email protected] Abstract: I numerically simulate and compare the entanglement of two quanta using the conventional formulation of quantum mechanics and a time-symmetric formulation that has no collapse postulate. The experimental predictions of the two formulations are identical, but the entanglement predictions are significantly different. The time-symmetric formulation reveals an experimentally testable discrepancy in the original quantum analysis of the Hanbury Brown–Twiss experiment, suggests solutions to some parts of the nonlocality and measurement problems, fixes known time asymmetries in the conventional formulation, and answers Bell’s question “How do you convert an ’and’ into an ’or’?” Keywords: quantum foundations; entanglement; time-symmetric; Hanbury Brown–Twiss (HBT); Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR); configuration space 1. Introduction Smolin says “the second great problem of contemporary physics [is to] resolve the problems in the foundations of quantum physics” [1]. One of these problems is quantum entanglement, which is at the heart of both new quantum information technologies [2] and old paradoxes in the foundations of quantum mechanics [3]. Despite significant effort, a comprehensive understanding of quantum entanglement remains elusive [4]. In this paper, I compare how the entanglement of two quanta is explained by the conventional formulation of quantum mechanics [5–7] and by a time-symmetric formulation that has Citation: Heaney, M.B. A no collapse postulate. The time-symmetric formulation and its numerical simulations Time-Symmetric Formulation of can facilitate the development of new insights and physical intuition about entanglement.
