Pope Francis declared the "Year of St. Joseph" on the 150th Anniversary of the proclamation of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church in the apostolic letter entitled, Patris Corde (With a Father's Heart). It was released on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8, 2020).
What does it mean to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph?
Well, it basically means that you acknowledge that he is your spiritual father, and you want to be like him. To show it, you entrust yourself entirely into his paternal care so that he can help you acquire his virtues and become holy. Total consecration to St. Joseph means you make a formal act of filial entrustment to your spiritual father so that he can take care of your spiritual well-being and lead you to God. The person who consecrates himself to St. Joseph wants to be as close to their spiritual father as possible, to the point of resembling him in virtue and holiness. Saint Joseph, in turn, will give those consecrated to him his undivided attention, protection, and guidance.
If you have already consecrated yourself to the Virgin Mary, can you be consecrated to St. Joseph, as well?
The answer is a resounding "Yes!" God desires that all children be committed to the care of a mother and a father. You are not a member of a single-parent spiritual family. Mary is your spiritual mother, and St. Joseph is your spiritual father. The spiritual fatherhood of St. Joseph is extremely important for your spiritual growth. Total consecration to Mary is not diminished by total consecration to St. Joseph. Mary wants you to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph! Jesus wants you to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph! Everything you have given to Jesus and Mary can also be given to St. Joseph. The hearts of Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph are one.
Consecration to St. Joseph emulates the tried-and-true preparation method employed by St. Louis de Montfort in his Marian consecration, highlighting many of St. Joseph's titles, privileges, and heroic virtues.
The program of preparation and consecration takes 33 days.
It can be undertaken on your own or in a group!
Day 1: Why Consecration to St. Joseph?
Lauren Hawkesworth, South Africa
Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi serving in Atlanta, GA
The Hebrew meaning of Joseph is, "God will Increase." Hence, St. Joseph is, "The Increaser." He has the power to help you increase your spiritual life and your relationship to God.
Day 2: The Litany of St. Joseph
Ricky Walker, Atlanta, GA
This litany of St Joseph dates back to at least the 16th Century and highlights his virtues. By daily reading his virtues during these 33 days, we can better learn and model his virtues, too.
Day 3: God, the Father of Heaven, Have Mercy on Us.
Ally Wheeler, Michigan
God the Father chose only one person on earth to represent him, St. Joseph. The Heavenly Father entrusted the paternal care of Jesus on earth to St. Joseph. Jesus loved and obeyed St. Joseph. St. Joseph will take care of you, also, and increase the presence of the Heavenly Father in your life.
Day 4: God, the Son, Redeemer of the World, Have Mercy on Us.
Lisa Small, New Zealand
St. Joseph was the loving and faithful guardian and protector to the Virgin Mary and Jesus. He brought many to encounter, understand and love his Son. He can help you grow in your love for Jesus too.
Day 5: God, the Holy Spirit, Have Mercy on Us.
Emily Roman, North Carolina
Imitate St. Joseph, a model of holiness. He listened to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, even while asleep.
Day 6: Holy Trinity, One God, Have Mercy on Us.
Fr. Peter Devereux LC, Dunedin, New Zealand
Legionary of Christ serving in Raleigh, NC
St. Joseph is father of the earthly trinity, (Jesus, Mary and Joseph). God bestowed upon him the gifts and graces required to guide the Holy Family and oversee the domestic and temporal needs of Jesus.
Day 7: Holy Mary, Pray for Us.
Beth Van Dorpe, Florida
Lay member of Regnum Christ
St. Joseph is the most Marian of all the saints. He was the first human to totally consecrate himself to her. In marriage, he consecrated himself to her perpetual virginity. He provided, protected and served her. Allow him to bring you closer to Our Blessed Mother.
Day 8: St. Joseph, Pray for Us.
Elizabeth Stromberg, Baltimore, MD
St. Joseph is foremost over all the saints and is given exalted status by the Doctors of the Church. To better understand the reverence due to God and his saints: Latria (Greek Adoration) to God; Hyperdulia (highest reverence) to the Virgin Mary; Protodulia (first revered) to St. Joseph, and Dulia (revered) to all the other saints.
Day 9: Noble Offspring of David, Pray for Us.
Gaetane Auger, France
"The espousals between Joseph and Mary are an episode of great importance. Joseph was of the royal line of (King) David and, in virtue of his marriage to Mary, would confer on the Son of the Virginon God's Sonthe legal !tle of "Son of David," thus fulfilling the prophecies." (Pope Benedict XVI) Hence, St. Joseph is of royal blood and a noble offspring of David.
Day 10: Light of Patriarchs, Pray for Us.
Jordan Beachnau, Royal Oak, MI
As the Old Testament Patriarchs were obedient, wise and faithful to God, St. Joseph goes beyond these "fathers." He bears the true Light of the World, Jesus, to us.
Day 11: Spouse of the Mother of God, Pray for Us.
"St. Joseph was the spouse of Mary. In the same way, each father sees himself entrusted with the mystery of womanhood through his own wife. Dear fathers, like St. Joseph, respect and love your spouse; and by your love and your wise presence, lead your children to God." (Pope Benedict XVI)
Day 12: Chaste Guardian of the Virgin, Pray for Us.
St. Joseph exercises both chastity and celibacy. Pure in heart, he is in control of his passions, and in marriage, united to the Blessed Virgin in heart, mind and soul, but never in body. He protects her virginity as he is called by God to celibacy. We are all called to chastity; however, some are called to celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Day 13: Foster Father of the Son of God, Pray for Us.
Elizabeth Stromberg, Baltimore
St. Joseph is both foster and spiritual father to Jesus. His fatherhood is perpetual, faithful and authoritative. Allow St. Joseph to be your spiritual father also, guiding you on your spiritual journey here on earth and in heaven.
Day 14: Zealous Defender of Christ, Pray for Us.
Gudelia Guerra, Mexico
Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi serving in Manila, Philippines
St. Joseph took Jesus and Mary to Egypt to escape the murderous plot of Herod. A dangerous foreign land filled with pagan idolatry, thieves, he had to secure work to feed, clothe, and shelter his family. You too must defend Jesus and His Church against a growing hostility to the Christian faith. Ask St. Joseph to help you become a zealous defender.
Day 15: Head of the Holy Family, Pray of Us.
Karla Amezcua, Mexico
Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi serving in Washington DC
Historically, God established the father as the "head" of the family. St. Joseph was the head of the Holy Family. Mary and Jesus looked to him for security, love, guidance, protection. If husbands and fathers imitate St. Joseph, the family unit grows stronger. Fr. Calloway suggests to make St. Joseph the spiritual head of your family. Obtain a statue or a beautiful image of St. Joseph, and place it in a prominent place in your home.
Day 16: Joseph Most Just, Pray of Us.
Grace Sullivan, Kentucky
In discernment year program with the Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi in Atlanta, GA
"In Hebrew, a just man means a good and faithful servant of God, someone who fulfils the divine will, or who is honorable and charitable toward his neighbor." (St Josemaria Escriva) St. Joseph is a just man.
Day 17: Joseph Most Chaste, Pray for Us.
Fr Patrick O'Laughlin LC, New York
Legionary of Christ serving in Atlanta, GA
Both the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph shared the virtue of chastity. "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Lk 12:34). Saint Joseph has three treasures: Jesus, Mary and you. The heart of St Joseph is the heart of a loving father and you have access to his heart. The Chaste Heart of St. Joseph is your home. Turn to St. Joseph to receive the grace of a chaste heart that loves fully.
Day 18: Joseph Most Prudent, Pray for Us.
Natalia Santos, El Salvador
Human prudence is a virtue that uses practical reason to discern the true good in every situation and the right means of achieving it. In supernatural prudence, one uses his mind and heart to discern how God is best served, often causing personal sacrifice and suffering. St. Joseph placed himself in God's Will. He will help you serve God, too.
Day 19: Joseph Most Courageous, Pray for Us.
Courage is derived from "cour," or "heart." He had fortitude, a cardinal virtue that strengthens one to do the will of God, especially during hardships and suffering. People of courage love the good more than the fear of suffering and evil. Life has its ups and downs. Ask St. Joseph to help you in your trials.
Day 20: Joseph Most Obedient, Pray for Us.
Michelle Chandler, California
RC Member
As disobedience to God by our first parents (Adam and Eve) caused all mankind to fall into sin, the obedience of our new parents (Joseph and Mary) brought forth the Son of God and Salvation. Ask St. Joseph to help you obey the 10 Commandments and the teachings of the Catholic church.
Day 21: Joseph Most Faithful, Pray for Us.
Elizabeth Stromber, Baltimore, MD
St. Joseph had faith and trusted in God's Will for him, both in good and difficult times (birth of Jesus, flight into Egypt, finally finding young Jesus in the Temple, home life in Nazareth). He trusted Jesus. If you live the teachings of Jesus, and the spiritual and moral teachings of the Catholic faith, you may be ridiculed by others. Stand firm and imitate St. Joseph.
Day 22: Mirror of Patience, Pray for Us.
Sarah Gagnier
No doubt, St. Joseph had to be patient and await God's Divine Providence (Mary's 3month visitation to Elizabeth, the flight and stay in Egypt until the angel brought word of safety at home, searching for the young Jesus for 3 days in Jerusalem). Patience is a virtue. Obtaining patience requires time, love, forgiveness and mercy. We live in a "time constraint" society. It creates stress. Ask St. Joseph to help you learn patience.
Day 23. Lover of Poverty, Pray for Us.
The Holy Family was very poor. St. Joseph could purchase only 2 turtle doves instead of a pricier lamb for the Presentation. The Magi's gift of gold helped provide for the Holy Family's life in Egypt. The Holy Family lived in a simple home in Nazareth. Detachment of wealth/materialism brings one closer to God. Ask St. Joseph to help you become spiritually rich in the Kingdom of God.
Day 24: Model of Workman, Pray for Us.
Adrienne Rolwes, St Louis, MO
St. Joseph taught Jesus the work of a carpenter. Work is essential, and diligent work benefits the soul. However, there is a needed balance between work, time for God, family and rest. St. Joseph will help you teach that balance.
Day 25: Glory of Domestic Life, Pray for Us.
Eileen Weick, Canada
Lay Member of Regnum Christi living in California
Jesus lived with St. Joseph and Mary for 30 years before beginning his public ministry. The Holy Family shared work, meals, celebrations and prayers together. Ask St. Joseph to bless your home and your domestic life.
Day 26: Guardian of Virgins, Pray for Us.
Fr Stephen Dyas, LC
Legionary of Christ in Switzerland
St. Joseph shared a life of celibacy, along with the Virgin Mary and Jesus. Many religious saints have written of their prayers to St. Joseph for his intercession in protecting their purity. Let us ask St. Joseph for his guidance and protection over all consecrated men and women in their living of celibacy and we pray that St Joseph will help all of us to live a life of chastity in joy.
Day 27: Pillar of Families, Pray for Us.
Rachel Peach, Akron, OH
Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi serving in Cincinnati, Ohio
A pillar is a firm support. St. Joseph was a firm foundation for the Holy Family. The Holy Family is the pillar of families. The Holy Family put God first; sharing prayers, meals, love, forgiveness, and mercy. Modern society has witnessed the breakdown of the family and the negative consequences on individuals, especially, children. Ask St. Joseph to help make your family strong.
Day 28: Comfort of the Afflicted, Pray for Us.
Heidi Seubert, Cottonwood, ID
In life, you cannot escape sorrow. Life has many challenges and problems: financial, emotional, health, worries, death of loved ones, difficulties in relationships. Many have grown up without the presence of a loving father. Rest in St. Joseph's fatherhood, he will offer comfort.
Day 29: Hope of the Sick, Pray for Us.
Lisa Small, Auckland, New Zealand
Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi serving in Atlanta, Georgia
St. Therese of Lisieux, and St. Theresa of Avila speak of their physically healing after prayers to St. Joseph to intercede before God. Their prayers were answered. St. Joseph offers hope in times of sickness.
Day 30: Patron of the Dying, Pray for Us.
Joseph died a holy and happy death. Tradition says that St. Joseph died in the loving presence of Mary and Jesus. We will all die. We need to prepare ourselves for our own deaths. "St. Joseph is the patron and protector of a happy death. Those who pray to him are certain to die in good dispositions. He is the model of those who wish to die in the Lord.") St. Perter Julian Eymard.
Day 31: Terror of Demons, Pray for Us.
Fr. Brett Taira, LC. California
Legionary of Christi serving in Atlanta, GA
St. Joseph alone bears this title, "Terror of Demons." Why are demons terrified of St. Joseph? It is because he alone was the spouse of the Immaculata, he spent many years in "adoration" of Jesus, he had paternal authority over Jesus. St. Joseph is often depicted holding a lily. The lily represents the sword of purity. It is a spiritual weapon. It is the sword that pierces the serpent dragon. When pressed by evil, go to St. Joseph.
Day 32: Protector of the Holy Church, Pray for Us.
Michelle Reiff, Iowa
Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi living in Atlanta, GA
In 1870, St. Joseph was proclaimed, "Patron of the Universal Church." Patron come from the root word, "pater," "father." The Church continues to undergo division. Many outside and inside the Church threaten her. Let us pray to St. Joseph to safeguard the Church and help restore her to order.
Day 33: He Made Him the Lord of His Household, and Prince Over All His Possessions.
"As Almighty God appointed Joseph, son of the patriarch Jacob, over all the land of Egypt to save grain for the people, so when the fullness of time was come and he was about to send on earth his only-begotten Son, the Savior of the world, he chose another Joseph of whom the first had been a type, and he made him the lord and chief of his household and possessions, the guardian of his choicest treasures." (Blessed Pope Pius IX)
CONSECRATION DAY - Congratulations for having completed the 33 Day preparation to Consecration to St. Joseph!
Prayer of Consecration to St. Joseph
O Glorious Patriarch and Patron of the Church! O Virgin Spouse of the Virgin Mother of God! O Guardian and Virginal Father of the Word Incarnate! In the presence of Jesus and Mary, I choose you this day to be my father, my guardian, and my protector. O great St. Joseph, whom God has made the Head of the Holy Family, accept me, I beseech you, though utterly unworthy, to be a member of your "Holy House." Present me to your Immaculate Spouse; ask her also to adopt me as her child. With her, pray that I may constantly think of Jesus, and serve him faithfully to the end of my life. O Terror of Demons, increase in me virtue, protect me from the evil one, and help me not to offend God in any way. O my Spiritual Father, I hereby consecrate myself to you. In faithful imitation of Jesus and Mary, I place myself and all my concerns under your care and protection. To you, after Jesus and Mary, I consecrate my body and soul, with all their faculties, my spiritual growth, my home, and all my affairs and undertakings. Forsake me not, but adopt me as a servant and child of the Holy Family. Watch over me at all times, but especially at the hour of my death. Console and strengthen me with the presence of Jesus and Mary so that, with you, I may praise and adore the Holy Trinity for all eternity.

NASSAU, The Bahamas, Monday February 4, 2019 – At least 28 Haitian migrants drowned in the waters off the northern Bahamian island of Abaco when the vessel they were travelling in capsized and sunk over the weekend.
The discovery of the first set of bodies was made by tourists on a chartered catamaran, in waters near Man O War Cay at the entrance of Marsh Harbour, central Abaco, on Saturday morning. An operation by Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) divers aboard HMBS Durward Knowles, along with a local diver, found more bodies in the shipwreck on the seabed in reef-filled waters near Fowl Cay.
The vessel had reportedly struck a reef.
It's uncertain how many Haitians were on the boat. The Department of Immigration had said 87 people were on the vessel, but the Tribune newspaper reported that volunteers said multiple survivors told them there were 45 people on board. A total of 28 bodies were recovered between Saturday and yesterday.
Hope Town's fire chief, Troy Pritchard, who was among the first to respond to the scene with a team of six from the Hope Town Volunteer Fire and Rescue, told the Nassau Guardian the scene was "simply heart-breaking".
He said the survivors were hesitant to come to the rescue boat.
"I got the stern of our rescue boat into about two feet of water and I pleaded with them to come. They were very reluctant to come and their feet were all cut up, so we threw them a pair of boots and they made their way to the water line and we got them in the boat that way," Pritchard told the newspaper.
The rescued Haitians were transported to the clinic in Marsh Harbour for evaluation, and handed over to Immigration and police officials for further investigation.
So far this year, approximately 300 Haitians have been apprehended by the RBDF for illegal entry during four separate incidents. Those Haitian nationals have all been charged before the courts and ordered repatriated to Haiti.
Illegal attempts by Haitians to get to the Bahamas or nearby Turks and Caicos are common. Following the weekend tragedy, the US Embassy in Haiti warned Haitians of the threat that smuggling operations pose.
"No journey is worth risking lives. Please urge families and communities: Illegal migrant and smuggling operations are dangerous and frequently end in tragedy," the Embassy tweeted.

Impact of Weather and Herd Size Management on Beef Cow Profitability
Colson A. Tester, Michael P. Popp, Nathan P. Kemper, Lanier L. Nalley, Grant West
Journal: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics , FirstView
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2019, pp. 1-23
Producers often contemplate expanding or contracting production to take advantage of cyclical cattle price trends. This study quantifies profitability and risk implications of (1) constant herd size, (2) dollar cost averaging, and (3) price signal-based, anticipatory countercyclical expansion/contraction strategies. Weather simulation on forages with different calving season and land use intensity showed fall calving herds with added hay sales from greater fertilizer use and the countercyclical herd size management strategy to be most profitable regardless of weather or time period analyzed. Income risk was comparable to least fertilizer use. Overall, holding herd size constant led to little regret.

Our thesis may be simply stated: There is a specter hanging over African studies: the specter of irrelevance both within and outside the academy. Indeed, African studies, as constructed in the North American academy over the past four decades, is dying.
Drayton's "To the Virginian Voyage": From Heroic Pastoral to Mock-Heroic
Michael D. West
Journal: Renaissance Quarterly / Volume 24 / Issue 4 / Winter 1971
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018, pp. 501-506
Print publication: Winter 1971
From their early appearance in Idea the Shepheards Garland to their luminous apotheosis in The Muses Elizium, visions of the idyllic world of pastoral haunted Drayton's thought, as they haunted the Elizabethan culture he typified. At the same time he shared the Renaissance's admiration for the martial glories of the epic. Although in its various versions The Barons Wanes is perhaps his most ambitious effort in this genre, the depth of his response is also evident in the exultant rhythms of his paean to true English hearts, the famous and deservedly beloved 'Ballad of Agincourt.' Of particular interest in 'To the Virginian Voyage' is the curious inconsistency that results when Drayton tries to combine the attractions of both pastoralism and heroism in the same poem.

Spenser's Art of War: Chivalric Allegory, Military Technology, and the Elizabethan Mock-Heroic Sensibility
In the medieval romances single combat was the knightly norm. The Italian chivalric epics sought to adapt this convention to the ideals of the Renaissance courtier. In Il Cortegiano, Frederico Fregoso explains "that where the Courtyer is at skirmishe, or assault, or battaile upon the land, or in such other places of enterprise, he ought to worke the matter wisely in seperating himself from the multitude, and undertake his notable and bould feates which he hath to doe, with as little company as he can."' But such displays of panache had little place in the massed infantry tactics that dominated the actual battlefields of the sixteenth century. It was disciplined self-restraint that made the Swiss and Spanish pike phalanxes so formidable, relegating cavalry to secondary importance. The Italian courtierknights had been rudely humbled, after all, when Charles XII invaded Italy in 1494 and deployed his excellent artillery.
Spenser, Everard Digby, and the Renaissance Art of Swimming
Journal: Renaissance Quarterly / Volume 26 / Issue 1 / Spring 1973
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018, pp. 11-22
In Book v of The Faërie Queene Spenser describes a curious combat between Artegall and Pollente. Both contestants precipitate themselves into the river from a booby-trapped bridge, where Pollente, 'who that use well knew / To fight in water, great advantage had' (v.ii.13. 5-6); 'which oddes when as Sir Artegall espide, / He saw no way but close with him in haste' (v.ii.14.1-2). Gripping his opponent's iron collar and choking him is the tactic he elects, with this result.
So Artegall at length him forst forsake
His horses backe, for dread of being drownd,
And to his handy swimming him betake.
Eftsoones him selfe he from his hold unbownd,
And then no ods at all in him he fownd:
For Artegall in swimming skilfull was,
And durst the depth of any water sownd.
So ought each knight, that use of perill has,
In swimming be expert, through waters force to pas. (v.ii.16)
Comparing colony-forming units in inpatient nurses: Should military nurses who provide patient care wear hospital-provided scrubs?

To compare bacterial contamination of military-approved uniforms and hospital-provided scrubs donned by nursing staff in an inpatient setting.
Randomized experimental crossover study.
Large academic military medical center.
Inpatient units were randomized to predetermine the order of uniform sampling. Participants included nursing staff who provided direct patient care across 7 eligible inpatient units. Sampling of 6 designated sites on the uniform was completed on arrival to work, at ~4 hours into their shift, and at the 8-hour time point, for a total of 18 samples. Sampling of each participant occurred on 2 separate occasions, once in a military-approved uniform, and once in hospital-provided scrubs. After 24 hours of incubation, a colony-counting machine was used to calculate the total colony-forming units (CFU) of the sample.
Across all time points, military-approved uniforms demonstrated a 2-fold bacterial increase at the abdominal site and 3-fold increases at the sleeve cuff and waist pocket regions compared to the same regions on hospital-provided scrubs.
Nurses should be aware that bacteria are present at much higher levels on their personal military uniforms compared to hospital-provided scrubs. Additional research is needed to determine whether these findings are a function of wear, laundering, or environmental factors. Nurses should adhere to daily uniform washing to reduce bacterial load and minimize risk of nosocomial infections to the patients they care for.
Profiles of Galaxy Clusters in Cosmological Scenarios
Michael J. West, Avishai Dekel, Augustus Oemler
Journal: Symposium - International Astronomical Union / Volume 117 / 1987
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017, p. 287
We have studied the properties of rich clusters of galaxies in various cosmological scenarios by comparing high resolution N-body simulations with observations of Abell clusters. The clusters have been simulated in two steps. First, protoclusters are identified in large-scale simulations which represent a wide range of cosmological scenarios (hierarchical clustering, pancake scenarios, and hybrids of the two, spanning a range of power spectra). Then the region around each protocluster is simulated with high resolution, the particles representing L* galaxies. The protoclusters have no spatial symmetry built into them initially. The final clusters are still dynamically young, and of moderate densities, which should be representative of Abell clusters of richness classes 1 and 2.
Engineering solar cells based on correlative X-ray microscopy

In situ and operando measurement techniques combined with nanoscale resolution have proven invaluable in multiple fields of study. We argue that evaluating device performance as well as material behavior by correlative X-ray microscopy with <100 nm resolution can radically change the approach for optimizing absorbers, interfaces and full devices in solar cell research. In this article, we thoroughly discuss the measurement technique of X-ray beam induced current and point out fundamental differences between measurements of wafer-based silicon and thin-film solar cells. Based on reports of the last years, we showcase the potential that X-ray microscopy measurements have in combination with in situ and operando approaches throughout the solar cell lifecycle: from the growth of individual layers to the performance under operating conditions and degradation mechanisms. Enabled by new developments in synchrotron beamlines, the combination of high spatial resolution with high brilliance and a safe working distance allows for the insertion of measurement equipment that can pave the way for a new class of experiments. Applied to photovoltaics research, we highlight today's opportunities and challenges in the field of nanoscale X-ray microscopy, and give an outlook on future developments.
The Ghosts of Galaxies: Tidal Debris in Clusters
Michael D. Gregg, Michael J. West
Gravitational interactions in rich clusters can strip material from the outer parts of galaxies or even completely disrupt entire systems, giving rise to large scale, low surface brightness ghostly features stretching across intergalactic space. The nearby Coma and Centaurus clusters both have striking examples of galaxy ghosts, in the form of 100 kpc-long plumes of intergalactic debris. By searching HST archival images, we have found numerous other examples of galaxy ghosts in rich clusters at low redshift, evidence that galaxy destruction and recycling are ubiquitous, important in cluster formation and evolution, and continue to mold clusters at the present epoch. Many ghosts appear in X-ray bright clusters, perhaps signaling a connection with energetic subcluster mergers.
The fate of such material has important ramifications for cluster evolution. Our new HST WFPC2 V & I images of a portion of the Centaurus plume reveal that it contains an excess of discrete objects with −12 < M V < −6, consistent with being globular clusters or smaller dwarf galaxies. This tidally liberated material is being recycled directly into the intracluster population of stars, dwarf galaxies, globular clusters, and gas, which may have been built largely from a multitude of similar events over the life of the cluster.
Economic and Greenhouse Gas Emission Response to Pasture Species Composition, Stocking Rate, and Weaning Age by Calving Season, Farm Size, and Pasture Fertility

Since cow-calf operations are large contributors of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in North America, consequences of pasture species composition, weaning age, and stocking rate decisions were examined by operation size, calving season, and pasture fertility. Fixed resource use and seasonal prices affected the mix of forage and beef production. Overall, adding fertilizer to pasture was unprofitable, resulting in increased stocking rates and greater emissions. Calving season and attendant breeding failure rates influenced the relative profitability of the analyzed beef-production strategies, which in turn affected farm GHG emissions. More-efficient practices led to greater amounts of beef sold per bred cow.
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey
Patrick Côté, Michael J. West
Journal: Highlights of Astronomy / Volume 13 / 2005
We describe the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey, an HST imaging survey of early-type galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. Multi-color ACS images for one hundred member galaxies, spanning a range of 450 in luminosity, are being used to study the central regions of these galaxies, their globular cluster systems, and the three-dimensional structure of Virgo itself. In terms of depth, spatial resolution, sample size and homogeneity, this represents the most comprehensive imaging survey to date of early-type galaxies in dense environments.
Intergalactic Globular Clusters

We confirm and extend our previous detection of a population of intergalactic globular clusters in Abell 1185, and report the first discovery of an intergalactic globular cluster in the nearby Virgo cluster of galaxies. The numbers, colors and luminosities of these objects can place constraints on their origin, which in turn may yield new insights to the evolution of galaxies in dense environments.

Journal: Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Volume 43 / Issue 1 / January 2016
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 August 2015, pp. 82-86
Print publication: January 2016
Background: Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery for pediatric arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the brain presents a non-invasive treatment option. We report our institutional experience with GK for pediatric AVMs. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all pediatric patients treated with GK for cerebral AVMs at our institution from November 2003 up to and including September 2014. Patient demographics, AVM characteristics, treatment parameters and AVM responses were recorded. Results: Nineteen patients were treated, with 4 lost to follow-up. The mean age was 14.2 years (range. 7-18 years), with 10 being males (52.6%). The mean AVM diameter and volume were 2.68 cm and 3.10 cm3 respectively. The mean Spetzler-Martin (SM) and Pollock grades of the treated AVMs were 2.4 and 0.99 respectively. The mean follow-up was 62 months. All AVMs treated demonstrated a response on follow-up imaging. Nine of 15 (60.0%) patients displayed obliteration of their AVMs. Nine of 11 patients with a minimum of 3 years follow-up (81.8%) displayed obliteration, with SM and Pollock grades correlating to the chance of obliteration in this group. Two patients developed post-GK edema requiring short course dexamethasone therapy. No other major complications occurred. No permanent complications occurred. Conclusions: GK radiosurgery for pediatric AVMs offers a safe and effective treatment option, with low permanent complication rates during early follow-up.
Lidocaine for Status Epilepticus in Pediatrics
Sample Content from CJN

Journal: Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Volume 42 / Issue 6 / November 2015
Our goal was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the use of intravenous lidocaine in pediatrics for status epilepticus (SE) and refractory status epilepticus (RSE) to determine its impact on seizure control.
All articles from MEDLINE, BIOSIS, EMBASE, Global Health, HealthStar, Scopus, Cochrane Library, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (inception to November 2014), and gray literature were searched. The strength of evidence was adjudicated using both the Oxford and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodologies by two independent reviewers.
Overall, 20 original studies were identified, with 19 manuscripts and one meeting abstract. Two hundred and thirty-five pediatric patients were treated for 252 episodes of SE/RSE. Patients had varying numbers of antiepileptic drugs (two to eight) on board before lidocaine therapy. During 20 of the 252 (7.9%) episodes of SE/RSE, phenytoin was on board. The dose regimen of lidocaine varied, with some using bolus dosing alone; others used a combination of bolus and infusion therapy. Overall, 60.0% of seizures responded to lidocaine, with complete cessation and greater than 50% reduction seen in 57.6% and 12.3%, respectively. Patient outcomes were sparingly reported.
There currently exists Oxford level 2b, Grading of Recommendations Assessment Developement, and Evaluation C evidence to support the consideration of lidocaine for SE and RSE in the pediatric population. Further prospective studies of lidocaine administration in this setting are warranted.

Background : Our goal was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the use of therapeutic hypothermia for refractory status epilepticus (RSE) and its impact on seizure control. Methods: All articles from MEDLINE, BIOSIS, EMBASE, Global Health, HealthStar, Scopus, Cochrane Library, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (inception to May 2014), reference lists of relevant articles, and gray literature were searched. The strength of evidence was adjudicated by two independent reviewers, using both the Oxford and GRADE methodology. Results: Overall, 13 studies were identified, with 10 manuscripts and 3 meeting abstracts. A total of 40 patients were treated. The common target temperature was 33 degrees Celsius, sustained for a median 48 hours. Patients displayed a 62.5%, 15% and 22.5% rate of seizure cessation, seizure reduction, and failure of treatment respectively. External cooling was utilized in the majority of cases. Deep venous thrombosis, coagulopathy and infections were the commonly reported complications. Two ongoing clinical trials were identified. Conclusions: Oxford level 4, GRADE D evidence exists to support the use of therapeutic hypothermia to control seizures in RSE. Further prospective study is warranted.

I Regret After Switching from Android to iOS
deden hilman abdurahman
If I remember correctly, I've been an Android user since 2014. And, a few months before 2022 ends, I finally moved to iOS. The reason, anyway, because it's just bored. I thought to start looking for different sensations through "other vendors". And, now I regret it. Yes, sorry because why didn't I just move from Android to iOS earlier.
Well, as usual, apart from being bored, I moved to iOS because of the environment. Many of my friends use iPhones. After observing for some time, several questions arose. For example, why do so many of my friends start using or moving to iPhones? Is it really worth it?
Long story short, I started getting used to checking iPhone developments on the marketplace. After that, read lots of reviews. One of them is a comparison of Android and iOS. The Apple product I bought was the iPhone 8 for a little over IDR 2 million. Let's just say this is a try-and-try phone.
Now, I have become an iPhone user. If you count the length of use, anyway, maybe almost three months. This short time has strengthened my mind that I regret not trying iOS earlier. Well, it may sound out of date. The name alone used to be comfortable with Android. Isn't love a matter of comfort and the need to complement each other?
The difference between Android and iOS
During those nearly three months, I found several differences between Android and iOS. While still using Android, some heavy applications felt heavy to run, the camera was not satisfactory, it was not comfortable to hold, and the operating system was not smooth enough.
Meanwhile, when using iOS, I found that until now I haven't met such a thing as lag, the camera is satisfying, feels good in the hand, and the work system is really smooth.
I feel that the iPhone is not just a cellphone to satisfy prestige. This Apple product is here for those of us who need convenience, speed, and aesthetics. Well, even though at first it felt strange because the buttons on the iPhone 8 are few, they are different from Android products.
Controversy: Was Mohamed Ali Jinnah a Shia Muslim

Lessons From the Sisterhood of Leah and Rachel
However, even though the button is "poor", therein lies its strengths. As far as my experience, iPhone is more efficient and simpler. Just swipe left, right, up and down. This is a tool that understands user needs.
Regarding the price, I hold a mutual agreement that there is a price, yes there is a way. When a work tool becomes so useful, I think the price debate between Android and iOS is over. Well, each of them has its own target market. So, it's strange to debate.
Design and camera
Talking about design, what I feel is a matter of simplicity but elegance. Android still has a good design in my opinion. However, iPhones has an elegant and simple side.
Now, when it comes to cameras, for me who is a bit unfamiliar with image quality, the difference between Android and iOS is immediately felt. For example, my old iPhone 8 is still great for taking photos and recording videos. The results are still satisfying even if you use an old school device.
Sometimes I wonder, even though an Android phone has a 48MP camera, iPhone shots still look clearer. Just like not natural results from Android. I'm not saying it's completely bad. What can I do, I've been using the robotic OS since 2014.
Want to try other Apple products
In my opinion, customer satisfaction is very important in the midst of competition. If you are satisfied, like me, you will feel like trying other Apple products. I've been eyeing a MacBook myself. But, still confused to determine which one. Do readers have any suggestions for me?
Finally, this article is purely my personal opinion, yes, as an Android and iOS user. There must be someone out there who feels that Android is better and that's good. Well, the name of the preference must be different. so.

Our language classes in London are carried out only by professional language tutors with a great deal of experience in teaching their mother tongue. Private language courses are an effective solution that will speed up the learning process allowing you to achieve your goals much faster.
Choose between private Italian, Spanish, English & French lessons. Learn the language and its culture, fundamental to interact with native speakers. We want you to be able to communicate fluently and correctly, that is why we focus on conversational skills and we give you strong grammar knowledge at the same time.
A great benefit of one to one teaching is that a professional language tutor assesses your level in detail and works around your needs and schedule. As a matter of fact, the learner can choose the length of the lessons and in most cases doesn't experience the pressure of exams or other formal evaluations. The tutor also provides materials newly designed or adapted according to the learner's requirements.
Another advantage of private language classes is flexibility, indeed, London is an extremely busy city and sticking to rigid times can be hard or even impossible for a professional. Therefore, our private language courses are very convenient as the tutor travels to your preferred location.
The learning dynamics in a one to one class are very different from those in a large group class as the teacher has more chances to create a relaxing environment suitable to the learner's needs. However, in the vast majority of cases, private tuition is carried out in the learner's home or office where they feel more at ease being in a familiar environment.
A few times learners choose their favourite café as an ideal place to have their lesson and therefore they do not experience the pressure of getting accustomed to a new environment. In addition, the language anxiety which is generated from the fear of making mistakes in front of others is significantly reduced. A few studies have demonstrated that a reduction of language anxiety leads to an improved language attainment.
In private language classes we observe a major shift away from a teacher centred approach to a student centred learning style. As a result, the latter assumes a much more equal role in making decisions about the lesson. Not all learners follow the same learning style as some people pay more attention to the general context, but they struggle in identifying the single parts that constitute it. These individuals have a tendency to relish social interaction and are supposedly more successful in informal language attainment given their better interpersonal skills. On the contrary, other learners are highly analytical, but less inclined to like social interaction. They are usually self-reliant and more successful in formal language learning given their superior analytic skills.
Young people and children will also benefit from our tutors' expertise.
Languages Alive service strives to place only the most suitable tutors who are amazing with children and teenagers.
All tutors teaching minors are DBS checked in accordance with Government regulations.
This gives you more opportunities to engage in a real communication and learn from authentic sources.
With private courses of Languages Alive I have been able to beat my fear of speaking a foreign language.
I needed to learn Italian for business. Today I can absolutely guarantee that with Raffaella Palumbo's private lessons I have achieved success in many projects!
Amazing experience! I never thought that in 3 months I would be able to speak Spanish. Highly recommended!

You have to either add ssl: true to your MongClient.connect options or add ssl=true to the connection URL query string. It doesn't look like (from the code snippets) that you're using either?

Germany: "We Are with You, and We Support You" (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) From October 1-4 of 2009, Falun Gong practitioners held activities to support the movement to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations on the square in front of the Cologne Cathedral. After finding out the facts, many people signed their names to support stopping the persecution of Falun Gong and to support those who have withdrawn from the CCP. The German Quitting the CCP Service Center also held similar activities in Berlin, Munich and Hamburg.
German Falun Gong practitioners organized Information Days on the square in front of Cologne Cathedral
After attending the event, Mr. Marsharr said, "These pictures describe some extremely unfair and violent facts which have happened in the world, especially in China. This is a regime that maintains its power by every means." Mr. Marsharr came from the former East Germany and said that he has first-hand knowledge of the Communist Party.
Miss Piachno said at the event, "What is described in these pictures all amount to crimes, and I can hardly bear to look at them."

Against the backdrop of international saber-rattling and economic uncertainty over new trading tariffs now in play, it's not all bad news for retailers and marketers. The reason: some of the brightest minds in consumer behavior research recently came together at a conference hosted by the College of Business at the University of Louisville, unveiling the latest studies into more effective ways to connect brand messages with customers.
The breadth of attendees at the conference was remarkable. Leading researchers came not only from the University of Louisville and regional neighbors such as the University of Kentucky, Indiana University, the University of Cincinnati and Kent State, but also from Northwestern, the University of Minnesota, the University of Washington and the University of Western Ontario.
How we respond to discounts offered throughout any given store is heavily influenced by the first discounts we see.
Political party affiliations may tell us more than you think about how consumers may respond to the introduction of new products, updates and loyalty programs.
Common sales techniques actually can hurt the prospect of closing a sale with some of us.
We put more stock in automated messages (like the suggestions served up by Amazon, Netflix and Pandora) when they offer immediate, tangible benefits than when they are about bigger-picture concepts like happiness or satisfaction.
The kinds of insights shared at U of L's conference are intended to go beyond academic discussion and be applied to real-world retail environments and marketing strategies. That's the reason Doe-Anderson got involved as a partner in the conference. As one of the longest-established marketing firms in the country, we're constantly looking for fresh thinking and opportunities to help develop what will become the next best practices in how to understand and act upon consumer behavior patterns. From the convening of the conference to the credentials of the attendees – attracted from Louisville and beyond – to the quality of the presentations, we were impressed by the initiative shown by the Department of Marketing at U of L's College of Business. It's exciting to see, firsthand, the brilliance of those doing deep dives into the complexities of human behavior and then applying their findings in ways that can help make businesses more successful in a constantly evolving marketplace.
Just for fun, Doe-Anderson threw a wrinkle into the conference by asking small groups of participants, on short notice, to "Tell Us Something We Didn't Know." Participants were asked to provide us with brief factoids from lesser-known (to us) studies that could have specific, actionable applications for retailers or marketers. These experts were as quick as they are smart. Immediately they cited research that numbers and shapes have genders, and that posting a photo from a restaurant could make the food taste better. Good to know.
Our congratulations to U of L College of Business Dean Dr. Todd Mooradian; Department of Marketing Professor Dr. Michael Barone, who organized the conference; and new U of L President Dr. Neeli Bendapudi, who, as a marketing professor herself, understands all of this far better than we do. Congratulations also go to all the participants whose inspired ideas and penetrating questions are leading us toward a better understanding of ourselves and our collective customers. We can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Todd Spencer is President and CEO of Doe-Anderson, Inc., a full-service marketing firm based in Louisville, Ky., which helped underwrite this year's Consumer Behavior Conference at the University of Louisville. Doe-Anderson's clients include Maker's Mark and Jim Beam, Utz, Maui Jim, Louisville Slugger, Carrier, Norton Healthcare, OhioHealth, Franciscan Health, Central Bank, Independence Bank, the Galt House, Bluegrass Cellular and Louisville Gas & Electric.

It was always going to be a tough fight: DPM Teo
Jessica Cheam
https://str.sg/3Fjd
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said on Saturday that the Punggol East by-election was "always going to be difficult".
DPM Teo cited the circumstances of the by-election and local issues as reasons as to why it was a tough fight.
The snap polls was triggered by the resignation of former PAP MP of the ward Michael Palmer, who resigned due to an extra-marital affair.
DPM Teo said, however, that the PAP hopes it can win back the ward.
"We are proud that we were able to serve them... we hope they will be able to support us the next time around," he said at a press conference held by the PAP at its branch office in the ward.
He said Rivervale Plaza, a mall in the ward where the upgrading was delayed, will be completed, and that the government will continue its programmes for the long-term interest of Singaporeans.
PAP candidate Dr Koh Poh Koon said that though he was "a bit disappointed", he was "appreciative for all the support I've received".
He thanked all the voters of Punggol East, supporters and volunteers and "the opportunity to make new friends over the last couple of weeks".
He added that he will continue to serve if the party needed him.

American Sign Language also uses the sign depicting the horns but also has a number of alternative signs (see here).
In French Sign Language, a similar sign is used, but it is interpreted as "radiance" (see below) and it culminates in a sign for "10," signifying the 10 commandments:
"Moses" in French Sign Language (source )
The horns that are visible in Michelangelo's statue are based on a passage in the Latin Vulgate translation (and many Catholic Bible translations that were translated through the 1950ies with that version as the source text). Jerome, the translator, had worked from a Hebrew text without the niqquds, the diacritical marks that signify the vowels in Hebrew and had interpreted the term קרו (k-r-n) in Exodus 34:29 as קֶ֫רֶן — keren "horned," rather than קָרַו — karan "radiance" (describing the radiance of Moses' head as he descends from Mount Sinai).
Even at the time of his translation, Jerome likely was not the only one making that decision as this recent article alludes to.

Year 10 students at Albany Academy took part in a Careers Day this term, to help them to understand how they can shape their future careers. Students experienced a range of workshops that gave them an understanding of various topics as they get ready to further their career upon leaving school.
Workshops were available in skills assessment where the students could learn to identify jobs and careers that matched their skills and these were complemented by learning to write effective CVs and a focus on interview techniques.
In addition, students were treated to a workshop delivered by Megan Spencer, from Wigan and Leigh College, explaining the differences between the various choices available to them. Megan said of her experience with Albany students, "What a fantastic opportunity for the Year 10 students to prepare for post 16 and starting to map out their journey with the skills and information required to succeed".
