television
1907, "the action of seeing by means of Hertzian waves or otherwise, what is existing or happening at a place concealed or distant from the observer's eyes" [OED]; in theoretical discussions about sending images by radio transmission, formed in Eng. or borrowed from Fr. télévision , from tele- + vision . Other proposals for the name of this then-hypothetical technology were telephote (1880) and televista (1904). The technology was developed in the 1920s and '30s. Nativized in Ger. as Fernsehen. "Television is the first truly democratic culture -- the first culture available to everyone and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want." [Clive Barnes, "New York Times," Dec. 30, 1969] Meaning "a television set" is from 1955. Shortened form TV is from 1948; British shortening telly is attested by 1940.

, Germany, 1959]]
'Television' ('TV') is a widely used telecommunication medium for transmitting
and receiving moving images, either monochromatic ("black and white") or color,
usually accompanied by sound. "Television" may also refer specifically to a
television set, television programming or television transmission. The word is
derived from mixed Latin and Greek roots, meaning "far sight": Greek tele
(λε}}), far, and Latin visio, sight (from video, vis- to see, or to view in
the first person).
Commercially available since the late 1930s, the television set has become a
common communications receiver in homes, businesses and institutions,
particularly as a source of entertainment and news. Since the 1970s the
availability of video cassettes, laserdiscs, DVDs and now Blu-ray discs, have
resulted in the television set frequently being used for viewing recorded as
well as broadcast material.
A standard television set comprises multiple internal electronic circuits,
including those for tuning and decoding broadcast signals. A display device
which lacks a tuner is properly called a monitor, rather than a television. A
television system may use different technical standards such as digital
television (DTV) and high-definition television (HDTV). Television systems are
also used for surveillance, industrial process control, and guiding of weapons,
in places where direct observation is difficult or dangerous.

There Is Strength In A HerdI once was asked to speak to a group of teenage boys about the importance of families. I am a high school religion teacher and often speak to teens. But this assignment made me nervous because I knew it was a topic the boys weren't excited to hear.
Minutes before speaking I had an unusual experience. A visual image came to my mind as though someone had turned on a television set in my brain. I clearly saw a scene you might see on the Discovery Channel -- it was a lion scattering a herd of animals.
The image came so powerfully that it surprised me. I wondered if it had anything to do with the talk I was about to give. The understanding quickly came.
When a predator attacks a herd the first job is not the kill. There is strength in the herd and the predator knows it. The first job is to scatter. If the predator can separate the weak from the strong and the young from the powerful they become easy targets.
This was demonstrated powerfully in a National Geographic special I saw about mother elephants (cows) and their babies (calves). Elephant cows are careful to keep their calf within a step or two because danger is always waiting nearby. Lions sometimes stay as close as 20 feet. When the cow charges the lions they easily lope away. The lions understand they can never get to the calf with the powerful mother nearby. So they watch and wait for one of them to make a mistake.
The program then showed of one calf becoming separated from its mother. The lions quickly pounced on it, trying to bring it down and kill it. Somehow this lucky calf was able to escape and return to the safety of its mother.
We live in a society now filled with children not so lucky. Predators have successfully scattered and separated families. Children have become easy targets. These attacks are devastating not only families but entire societies.
In his book, The Broken Hearth, former US Secretary of Education William H. Bennett stated:
"It is fashionable these days to say and to believe that matters like divorce, illegitimacy, cohabitation, and single-parenting are "private" matters that are not the business of the wider community. To which I would respond: There are few matters of more profound public consequence than the condition of marriage and families. Most of our social pathologies -- crime, imprisonment rates, welfare, educational underachievement, alcohol and drug abuse, suicide, depression, sexually-transmitted diseases -- are manifestations, direct and indirect, of the crack-up of the modern American family."
What is the answer? Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said it well:
"We either build our children or we build more jails. Time to stop building jails. Our children are not the problem, they are our future. If you want young people to become contributing citizens and not convicts, then early in life we must give them the character and the competence they need to succeed in this exciting new world. It begins in the home with caring, loving parents and family members who pass on the virtues of past generations" (GOP National Convention, July 31, 2000).
It begins with parents. We have the responsibility to stand close to our children, to make time for them, to love them, to teach them. If we do not they will become victims to the serious predators that now surround them.
There is strength in a herd.
What Is Cosmic Ordering? How Can Cosmic Ordering Work For You?Just what is Cosmic Ordering?
At it's simplest, cosmic ordering is making a carefully worded "wish" and sending it out to the cosmos in the hope that your wish (or order) willbe answered.
Despite the fact that it has recently come to people's attention, partly due to the television star Noel Edmonds putting it as the main reason for his spectacular career comeback, cosmic ordering has been around a long time.
Its roots can be traced back to at least the early 1900's when Wallace D Wattles wrote a book called The Science of Getting Rich. In this, he talked about thinking about things to turn them into reality. This may sound simplistic but if you actually stop to think about it, it's perfectly sensible. Near enough everything you see around you started as a thought in someone's mind - the computer you're reading this on, the chair you are sitting on, the room around you. Every one of these started as a thought.
Cosmic ordering takes these thoughts and focuses on them. You send out a precisely worded request to the cosmos (or universe or your god if you prefer) and then let the cosmos deliver on that request.
Some requests are simple and will be delivered by doing nothing more than this.
Others are more complicated and will take some effort on your part to come to fruition.
Yet others are so far away that they will need a lot of effort before they can become part of your reality.
One of the problems a lot of people have with the Law of Attraction (which is very closely related to cosmic ordering) is that they dream up a request and then get disappointed when it doesn't manifest itself into their life in a few hours or days.
A common request is to win the lottery. The trouble is that a large number of other people are also putting out this request and the numbers involved just can't work for everyone. Here in the UK, almost 95% of lottery winners only get 10 times their stake back. So even if you "win" the lottery, chances are that you've only won 10 (about $20).
It's far better to focus on a slightly smaller goal. Ideally, one that you are more in control of.
It's also worth starting small - you've done that with most everything else in your life if you think about it. As a toddler, you took time to be able to walk even one or two steps without falling down. But that didn't stop you and eventually you learned how to walk.
It's the same with cosmic ordering. Start small. Send out a small request - say for a parking space to be clear for you or the next few sets of traffic lights to be green for you - and get it fulfilled. Then work up to a slightly larger request, get that filled, and so on.
Make sure your requests are worded positively. Your subconscious mind is working with you on this and it needs clear directions to get what you want from the universe. Negatives or lack of clarity will getin the way of your cosmic order being filled for you.
