Pangenesis \Pan*gen"e*sis\, n. [Pan- + genesis.] (Biol.)       An hypothesis advanced by Darwin in explanation of heredity.          Note: The theory rests on the assumption, that the whole                organization, in the sense of every separate atom or                unit, reproduces itself, the cells throwing off minute                granules called gemmules, which circulate freely                throughout the system and multiply by subdivision.                These gemmules collect in the reproductive organs and                products, or in buds, so that the egg or bud contains                gemmules from all parts of the parent or parents, which                in development give rise to cells in the offspring                similar to those from which they were given off in the                parent. The hypothesis also assumes that these gemmules                need not in all cases develop into cells, but may lie                dormant, and be transmitted from generation to                generation without producing a noticeable effect until                a case of atavism occurs.

They form the       most numerous group, including over 120,000 species. In       general, the group is characterized by the marked development       of the sporophyte, with great differentiation of its parts       (root, stem, leaves, flowers, etc.); by the extreme reduction       of the gametophyte; and by the development of seeds. All the       Spermatophyta are heterosporous; fertilization of the egg       cell is either through a          {pollen tube} emitted by the microspore or (in a few             gymnosperms) by spermatozoids.          Note: The phrase [bd]flowering plants[b8] is less distinctive                than [bd]seed plants,[b8] since the conifers, grasses,                sedges, oaks, etc., do not produce flowers in the                popular sense. For this reason the terms {Anthrophyta},                {Ph[91]nogamia}, and {Panerogamia} have been superseded                as names of the phylum by Spermatophyta.

pinging          {ping}
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Punishment       The New Testament lays down the general principles of good       government, but contains no code of laws for the punishment of       offenders. Punishment proceeds on the principle that there is an       eternal distinction between right and wrong, and that this       distinction must be maintained for its own sake. It is not       primarily intended for the reformation of criminals, nor for the       purpose of deterring others from sin. These results may be       gained, but crime in itself demands punishment. (See MURDER       ¯T0002621; {THEFT}.)                Endless, of the impenitent and unbelieving. The rejection of       this doctrine "cuts the ground from under the gospel...blots out       the attribute of retributive justice; transmutes sin into       misfortune instead of guilt; turns all suffering into       chastisement; converts the piacular work of Christ into moral       influence...The attempt to retain the evangelical theology in       connection with it is futile" (Shedd).
