If you hate going to a video store to rent movies, and if you also hate downloading things and receiving mail, there's always Redbox. The company lets you rent videos via vending machines, which are often located at McDonald's, super markets, and other heavy-traffic shops. Reserve a movie online, and then visit one of Redbox's 27,000 kiosks (hint: they look like red boxes). DVDs cost $1 per day, and if you keep it out for 25 days, you own it. You can also get Blu-ray discs for $1.50 a day and video games for $2 a day.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
