Excerpt: The Antigonish Movement blended adult education, co-operatives, microfinance and rural community development to help small, resource-based communities around Canadäs Maritimes improve their economic and social circumstances. A group of priests and educators, including Father Jimmy Tompkins, Father Moses Coady, Rev. Hugh MacPherson and A.B. MacDonald led this movement from a base at the Extension Department at St. Francis Xavier University (St. F.X.) in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The credit union systems of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI owe their origins to the Antigonish Movement, which also had an important influence on other provincial systems across Canada. The Coady International Institute at St. F.X. has been instrumental in developing credit unions and in asset-based community development initiatives in developing countries ever since. As educators and priests, the leaders of the Antigonish Movement were primarily concerned with human and spiritual development. The title of Moses Coady¿s only book ¿ Masters of Their Own Destiny ¿ encapsulates this desire to see ordinary Nova Scotians achieve economic and social freedom. However Coady argued that for practical reasons "we consider it good pedagogy and good psychology to begin with the economic phase ¿ that we may more readily attain the spiritual and cultural towards which all our efforts are directed." Ordinary Nova Scotians he argued, had only themselves to blame for their poverty and vulnerability. They had permitted money and business to become mysterious forces outside of their control. Fishers and farmers for example, were exploited by marketing middlemen. Everyone was exploited by moneylenders. If they took the time to understand their circumstances and took the risks of co-operative action, they could achieve economic security and on that foundation greater freedom and self-realization. In a vision that has been renewed today in digital forms of mass collaboration, Coady argued that "the only hope o

Excerpt: Mah¿y¿na sutras are a broad genre of Buddhist scriptures that are accepted as canonical by the various traditions of Mah¿y¿na Buddhism. These are largely preserved in the Chinese Buddhist canon, the Tibetan Buddhist canon, and in extant Sanskrit manuscripts. Some six hundred Mah¿y¿na sutras have survived in Sanskrit or in Chinese and Tibetan translations. The origins of Mah¿y¿na are still not completely understood. The earliest views of Mah¿y¿na Buddhism in the West assumed that it existed as a separate school in competition with the so-called "H¿nay¿na" schools. Due to the veneration of buddhas and bodhisattvas, Mah¿y¿na was often interpreted as a more devotional, lay-inspired form of Buddhism, with supposed origins in st¿pa veneration, or by making parallels with the history of the European Protestant Reformation. These views have been largely dismissed in modern times in light of a much broader range of early texts that are now available. These earliest Mah¿y¿na texts often depict strict adherence to the path of a bodhisattva, and engagement in the ascetic ideal of a monastic life in the wilderness, akin to the ideas expressed in the Rhinoceros S¿tra. The old views of Mah¿y¿na as a separate lay-inspired and devotional sect are now largely dismissed as misguided and wrong on all counts. The earliest textual evidence of "Mah¿y¿na" comes from s¿tras originating around the beginning of the common era. Jan Nattier has noted that in some of the earliest Mah¿y¿na texts such as the Ugraparip¿ccha S¿tra use the term "Mah¿y¿na", yet there is no doctrinal difference between Mah¿y¿na in this context and the early schools, and that "Mah¿y¿na" referred rather to the rigorous emulation of Gautama Buddha in the path of a bodhisattva seeking to become a fully...

Excerpt: Ultra-high-purity steam, also called clean steam, UHP steam or high purity water vapor, is used in a variety of industrial manufacturing processes that require oxidation or annealing. These processes include oxide layers grow on silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry and for passivation layers used to improve the light capture ability of crystalline photovoltaic cells. Several methods and technologies can be employed to generate ultra high purity steam, including pyrolysis, bubbling, direct liquid injection and purified steam generation. The level of purity, or the relative lack of contamination, affects the quality of the oxide layer...
