![]() The author argues that cognitive dissonance motivates the search for coherence, as a means to get rid of dissonance. After examining the meaning of coherence in several disciplines in psychology, this writing introduces the concept of Coherence Judgment. We will leave Hart’s demand for perfect logical coherence and clarity to the side for now (except to say that usually it is heretics who demand such coherence and clarity, and that orthodoxy usually holds two truths together, like one God and three persons or one person and two natures ).This paper argues that coherence is something about which cognitive dissonance theory is concerned but not explored. For Hart, to follow the premises of God’s goodness and human freedom is to arrive on the shores of universal redemption. In both arguments Hart demands maximal metaphysical coherence and clarity. And happily the Bible confirms this by not talking about hell as an eternal place of conscious torment (Hart’s second meditation). Therefore, every rational nature will eventually will its own good end, which is found only in God (even if it takes the rational nature an extended stay in hell to purge encrusted layers of sin and evil).Įxpanded a little: Because every rational nature will ultimately rest in God, eternal conscious torment is impossible (Hart’s fourth meditation). Second Main Argument: Every rational nature (humanity) is only truly free when it wills its own good end. I’m curious how the same arguments I’ve used to criticize aggressive views of Penal Substitutionary Atonement and Predestination are used by Hart to argue for universalism.As a strong advocate of the Christus Victor view of the atonement, I’m wondering if this also entails a final victory over sin that would be universalist in nature.My friends have friends drawn to universalism, and they aren’t sure what to think or how to respond.I have friends wondering about or drawn to universalism.I’m interested in Hart’s perspective because I would consider myself a theological moderate or centrist, but evangelical nonetheless (even if that is a meaningless term these days). Why Am I Interested in This Book (and why should you be)? If you were hoping to read Hart as a way to get up to speed on the various debates about universalism, the different options or streams involved, or a detailed review of the biblical arguments for or against universalism, you will be sorely disappointed. In the end his book really only manages to land serious blows against the infernalists, leaving the other two options mostly intact. Lewis), and 3) conditional immortality/annihilation as if they were all the same view. Hart treats 1) “infernalists” (his label for the “eternal conscious torment by God” view), 2) “hell is the place of our own making” (C. Hart, however, is not very clear about his opponents in the book. Hart, and most Christian universalists, claim that Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, are fundamentally necessary for the redemption of all things-and indeed, because Christ is the victor over sin and death, all things will eventually be reconciled to God (even if passing through the fires of hell, which are none other than the purifying glory of God). But Christian universalism is to be distinguished from universalism in general, which says that “all roads lead back to God” because all religions really takes us on the same spiritual journey in the end.

![]() Varieties: Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Mundo Novo, Tico, San Ramon, Jamaican Blue MountainĬoffea Arabica is descended from the original coffee trees discovered in Ethiopia. In the commercial coffee industry, there are two important coffee species - Arabica and Robusta. They can be small shrubs to tall trees, with leaves from one to 16 inches in size, and in colors from purple or yellow to the predominant dark green. Botanists have disagreed ever since on the exact classification, since coffee plants can range widely. The genus was first described in the 18th century by the Swedish botanist, Carolus Linneaus, who also described Coffea Arabica in his Species Plantarum in 1753. Experts estimate that there are anywhere from 25 to 100 species of coffee plants. Within the genus there are over 500 genera and 6,000 species of tropical trees and shrubs. The trees grow best in rich soil, with mild temperatures, frequent rain and shaded sun.Ĭoffee traces its origin to a genus of plants known as Coffea. The average coffee tree produces 10 pounds of coffee cherry per year, or 2 pounds of green beans.Īll commercially grown coffee is from a region of the world called the Coffee Belt. Proper care can maintain and even increase their output over the years, depending on the variety. ![]() While coffee plants can live up to 100 years, they are generally the most productive between the ages of 7 and 20. It takes nearly a year for a cherry to mature after first flowering, and about 5 years of growth to reach full fruit production. Because it grows in a continuous cycle, it’s not unusual to see flowers, green fruit and ripe fruit simultaneously on a single tree. Each tree is covered with green, waxy leaves growing opposite each other in pairs. fee /ˈkôfē,ˈkäfē/ noun The berries harvested from species of Coffea plants.Įveryone recognizes a roasted coffee bean, but you might not recognize an actual coffee plant.Ĭoffee trees are pruned short to conserve their energy and aid in harvesting, but can grow to more than 30 feet (9 meters) high. ![]() Oddly, for me both 32-bit AND 64-bit executables each work. ** This version also contains 32-bit and 64-bit executables for the front end (both use the same. *There seem to be quite a few versions (none with clear revision numbers) of this plug-in, and I don’t think it is still being supported – But the version linked above seems to be more recent than most, and works great for me.

Many people are looking to cordless string trimmers powered by a lithium-ion battery to meet their needs, especially in suburbia. Trimming a large and diverse rural property requires a far more robust power tool than if you live on a 1⁄4-acre lot. The harder you work the string trimmer, the tougher the machine you need to buy. Read on for quick info on the best string trimmers from our testing, then scroll down for buying advice and in-depth reviews.Ī string trimmer spins a line head by means of either a gas engine (in almost all cases burning a gas-oil fuel mixture) or it uses a lithium-ion battery and a DC motor. Equipped with an Aero-Flex trimmer attachment, a string trimmer can function as a mini mower for cutting grass and weeds in difficult areas such as on steep banks and ditches. You’ll be glad of this come winter because pavement with a neat edge is easier to clear of snow compared to one that is overgrown. The notch keeps grass and weeds from growing over the pavement’s edge. ![]() With a deft hand they can be turned sideways to cut a notch along sidewalks, patios and drives. They can cut down tall grass and weeds to keep border areas under control, either prior to mowing or as an alternative to mowing. Either way, the results should be a neat landscape. Some people mow then trim, others trim then mow (particularly those who bag the clippings). A string trimmer is the indespensible power tool that puts the finishing touches on a yard by shaving off grass that a lawn mower can’t reach. ![]() Our product lets you boost efficiency and enrich the pages of your blog.

Middlebury has not yet reached an official decision on where the train will stop in town, although at this point little doubt exists about the question. The idea went nowhere the environmental assessment translated into about a year's delay. They argued that rail routes in the middle of town were an anachronism and could better serve as bike paths, for example.īut the bypass would have been "challenging, at least, and highly expensive," Gish said, referring to numerous practical impediments. “But rather than carry that risk into construction and potentially cost the taxpayers additional funds, VTrans and the Federal Highway Administration have elected to engage in an additional administrative process.”Īt the time, some residents were pushing for a bypass that would take the rail line out of downtown altogether. “It is unfortunate that the collective efforts of so many can be sidelined by the threat of legal action,” Chris Cole, then VTrans secretary, said in a statement cited in the Burlington Free Press. In December 2016, the Federal Highway Administration and VTrans opted to conduct a full environmental assessment in order to address community concerns, as an alternative to litigating. That controversy raised the threat of a lawsuit challenging the project. Merchants in the town center groused about the business they expected to lose while the area went through the upheavals attendant on replacing the bridges. ![]() Much has delayed the bridge-tunnel project. ![]() Middlebury's community liaison for the project, Jim Gish, told VBM that it would wrap up in the spring of 2021, meaning, in his estimation, that, "Amtrak will arrive later in 2021, or maybe 2022." The replacement will take the form of a short tunnel through the business district, with a lowered rail-bed that will allow the Vermont Railway to haul "double-stack" container cars and other oversize loads on the route.Īfter no shortage of wrangling over the impact that the construction would have on the town's commercial life, the $71 million project is now proceeding on schedule. That project will replace two aging bridges that carry key streets over the tracks in the heart of the Addison County shire town. "The service start is going to be contingent on when the Middlebury bridge-tunnel project is going to be finished." Amtrak declined to comment on the timeline for the service launch, referring VBM to the Vermont Agency of Transportation.ĭan Delabruere, who directs the Rail and Aviation Division at VTrans, did not have a definite timeline, either, but said, "We're thinking we're going to be done in early 2021" with his division's improvements to the Rutland-Burlington line, which is owned by the state and operated by the Vermont Railway, a subsidiary of Vermont Rail System (VRS). The Rutland-Burlington service would extend Amtrak's Ethan Allen Express train north to the Queen City. (The same article cited then-governor Peter Shumlin's goal, announced in 2011, of restoring passenger rail service to Montreal by 2014– but that's another story.) A 2014 Seven Days article reported that "state officials are saying that will begin in about three years" – that is, in 2017. Right now it appears to be at least three more years away.
