Johannes Spithovius Monasteriensis

“He was the son of Englebert Spithoff of Münster, hence the sobriquet Monasteriensis. His date and place of birth are unknown, but his family had some connection with the Netherlands. His brothers lived in Amsterdam and he referred to Netherlanders as his countrymen, among them the London printer Reyner Wolfe, who came from Gelderland. Spithovius was initially a pupil of Philip Melanchthon at Wittenberg, but in 1542 he matriculated at the University of Copenhagen, where he proceeded as magister in 1544 and became Professor Paedigogicus in 1545. In 1549, however, he was dismissed from his chair for marrying a woman of dubious reputation. He did not return to Copenhagen until the autumn of 1554, when he was appointed Professor of Greek and, in 1557, Professor of Physic as well. He died in early middle age on 30 December 1563, possibly from the plague. During the nineteenth century, evidence began to emerge that Spithovius had spent the years 1549 to 1554 as one of the ‘flock of Hatfield’. The earliest published source is Princess Elizabeth’s only extant household disbursement book (covering Michaelmas 1551 to Michaelmas 1552). Spithovius is named in two entries: a payment for books on 18 May 1552 and a reward of £4 on 4 April. Agnes Strickland quoted the first entry in the biography of Elizabeth in the later editions of her Lives of the Queens of England, but without further comment. Spithovius is also mentioned in the exchange of letters between Dorothea of Denmark and Elizabeth I in 1559, which is calendared in the first volume of the Calendar of State Papers, Foreign Series, Elizabeth. The second and third volumes of the Calendar contain three letters from Spithovius to Cecil, written in 1560, in which he recalled his earlier service to the queen. Thanks to these references, some late nineteenth-century Danish historians noted that he had been in Elizabeth’s employ, but he has been completely overlooked in the extensive literature on her education. Spithovius wrote to Melanchthon from Copenhagen on 30 November 1554. This letter is both the only item of correspondence between them to survive and the fullest account of his English years. He informed Melanchthon that he had just been recalled to Denmark by Christian III, having served Elizabeth as tutor in Latin and Greek for five years. The princess was under great pressure from her sister to violate her conscience by participating in idolatry. Since she was familiar with Melanchthon’s works and admired him, Spithovius suggested that he send her a letter of consolation in her adversity. He concluded with his confidence that she would become the means for the restoration of the English Church. A few further details of Spithovius’ membership of Elizabeth’s household can be supplied. Thanks to his reference to his five years in her service, it can be suggested that he was the unidentified tutor recommended by Martin Bucer to Elizabeth’s chaplain Edmund Allen on 27 August 1549. Bernardino Ochino had recently proposed a tutor for her, who had not proved satisfactory, and in his stead, Bucer suggested a young man who had arrived in England ‘some weeks since’. This man had letters of recommendation to Archbishop Cranmer from Melanchthon and another ‘man of great learning’. Since Cranmer was unable to employ him, and Bucer doubted whether a university post could be found, he might well suit Elizabeth’s purpose. Spithovius replaced her best-known tutor, Roger Ascham, who left her service early in 1550 after trying to do so earlier. A single surviving letter from Spithovius to Ascham (25 December 1561), referring to their friendship and previous correspondence, suggests that, whatever the circumstances of his departure, Ascham did not regard Spithovius as a rival. In May 1560, Spithovius asked Cecil to remember him to his old friend ‘the Treasurer’ (of the Household), Sir Thomas Parry, who had been Elizabeth’s cofferer during the decade prior to her accession. Apart from his statement to Melanchthon that he had only recently arrived in Denmark and that it was at Christian III’s request, we know nothing of the circumstances of Spithovius’ departure from Elizabeth’s service. Mary’s proclamation of 17 February 1554 ordered all alien heretics to leave the realm, and any immunity that membership of Elizabeth’s household might have conferred would have been annulled by her imprisonment following Wyatt’s Rebellion. In April, Christian III appealed to Mary to release Miles Coverdale, and he may have recalled Spithovius at the same time.”

Reconstructing the retina

The ways in which lost vision might be restored are coming into focus as researchers move closer to recreating the eye’s most complex structure — the retina — in the laboratory.

Weird wiring

The retina comprises a thin layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This intricate structure is essential for vision.

Cell circuitry

In the retina, five types of neuron — photoreceptors, bipolar cells, retinal ganglion cells, horizontal cells and amacrine cells — are wired together to form one of nature’s most complex circuit boards. When light hits the retina, it stimulates photoreceptors, creating an electrical signal that is conveyed through other neurons of the retina to the optic nerve, and then on to the brain.

1. Photoreceptors There are two main types of light-sensitive cell in the eye: rods and cones. Rods enable vision in poor light, whereas cones are responsible for colour vision. Photoreceptors convert light into electrical signals that travel through other retinal neurons to reach the optic nerve.

2. Bipolar cell Responsible for transmitting signals from photoreceptors to a retinal ganglion cell.

3. Retinal ganglion cell Relays signals from bipolar and amacrine cells to the brain through long projections called axons that form the optic nerve.

4. Horizontal cell Regulates the signal that emerges from several rods and cones.

5. Amacrine cell Reaches across several bipolar cells to regulate signals directed at retinal ganglion cells. So far, around 30 subtypes have been identified.

6. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) A layer of epithelial cells that lies beneath the photoreceptors. It forms a barrier to blood vessels in the choroid and mops up harmful substances that are shed by photoreceptors in response to light.

A common failing

Degenerative diseases of the retina affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The most common such condition is age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

1. AMD is caused by a build-up of fatty deposits, known as drusen, between the RPE and the choroid. The cause is unclear, but by-products from photoreceptors are thought to contribute.

2. These deposits gradually grow in size and number, leading to increasingly distorted vision.

3. In advanced AMD, the RPE is disrupted, resulting in the death of photoreceptors and the loss of central vision.

4. 10–15% of cases progress to a form known as wet AMD1, in which blood vessels penetrate the retina and leak fluid that causes vision to deteriorate rapidly.

Damage control

No treatments have been approved for early-stage AMD, but drugs that inhibit blood-vessel formation can slow the progression of wet AMD.

~9% of the blindness is caused by AMD.

Fresh eyes

In the past decade, refinements to techniques for culturing or differentiating stem cells have increased the possibility of using stem-cell therapies to tackle retinal-degenerative diseases such as AMD.

El Papa Francisco Abraza “LGBT”

Nueva York, The New York Times publicó recientemente un artículo de opinión de John Gehring, un comentarista y autor católico romano, preguntándose en voz alta si la iglesia alguna vez abrazaría completamente el movimiento LGBT. 

Después de muchos años de proporcionar comentarios de expertos sobre el Vaticano y sus diversas políticas, la evaluación profesional de Gehring es que sí, el Vaticano adoptará plenamente el queer. La razón, para Gehring, es que el Papa Francisco ha dado pistas sutiles sobre su evolución en el tema de la sodomía, la más sorprendente de las cuales es su aceptación del término "LGBT".

Como escribe Gehring: 

"Bueno, la semana pasada, el Vaticano usó “LGBT” por lo que se cree que es la  primera vez  en un  documento  preparado para una importante reunión de obispos y jóvenes en octubre. "Algunos jóvenes LGBT", dice, quieren "beneficiarse de una mayor cercanía y experimentar un mayor cuidado de la iglesia.”

Como señala el comentarista del Vaticano, esta puede ser la primera vez que la sede católica romana utiliza el término "LGBT".

Muchas personas se preguntan qué tan innovador o demoledor es, tal vez no esté convencido de que esto indique una evolución en el pensamiento. Sin embargo, la agenda homosexual en los Estados Unidos no ganó ningún impulso o controló ningún poder en los Estados Unidos hasta que cambió con éxito la terminología de la sodomía y la homosexualidad al inicialismo, LGBT.

Usar LGBT como el término para la desviación sexual grosera tuvo muchos beneficios. La inicialidad comenzó a reemplazar las nomenclaturas comunes como "gay" y "queer" en la década de 1980, que ya habían comenzado a reemplazar el término más científicamente preciso, y bíblicamente es la sodomía, en la década de 1960.

El primer beneficio de usar la inicialización es que solidificó el comportamiento sexual desviado de todas las bandas. Ya se trate de hombres acostados con hombres o mujeres acostados con mujeres (diferentes problemas psicológicos bajo el comportamiento homosexual entre los sexos, y generalmente tienen diferentes motivaciones y trabajo), la bisexualidad (que simplemente no encaja en el paradigma de la "orientación sexual") en la narrativa del siglo 21 de la ética sexual como una clavija cuadrada en un agujero redondo), y trans (y sus formas casi ilimitadas de travestismo, transgénero, transexualidad o incluso transpeciesismo).

El segundo beneficio de usar la inicialidad LGBT es que pone distancia en la mente entre la propia desviación sexual y el tema que se discute. Una escusa para ocultar este pecado detrás esas palabras. El término desinfecta o blanquea conceptos como la penetración anal de hombre a hombre o hombres adultos y barbudos vistiéndose como niñas pequeñas, o la lesbiana marimacho que ha estropeado su belleza femenina pero que no está convenciendo a nadie de que es un hombre. 

De manera similar, el término hace que el pecado parezca una mera condición, como VIH, ALS, HPV o RAS. Hace que el comportamiento más científicamente indefendible en el mundo (el concepto de dos criaturas del mismo sexo tratando de tener relaciones sexuales) parezca clínico. En otras palabras, otorga a la sodomía más dignidad de la que merece.

Que el Vaticano abrace el lenguaje inventado por activistas homosexuales para promover la agenda homosexual no es un buen augurio para los papistas. Tristemente, y para nuestra vergüenza, líderes evangélicos, desde Russell Moore en el ERLC hasta Albert Mohler en SBTS, ya han adoptado el lenguaje LGBT hace mucho tiempo. 

Gehring está de acuerdo, diciendo en el Times: 

No son exactamente las últimas noticias, podrías discutir. Pero adoptar "LGBT" es emblemático de un cambio emergente en la postura de la iglesia hacia las personas homosexuales, lesbianas y transgénero. Los documentos de enseñanza católica típicamente han usado "homosexual" o referido a aquellos con "tendencias homosexuales", que reducen la humanidad multidimensional de una persona a la mecánica del sexo. El uso del descriptor LGBT, a menudo preferido por muchas personas homosexuales, lesbianas y transexuales, es un signo de respeto.

El Papa Francisco ya había dado una respuesta a la comunidad LGBT, diciendo: "¿Quién soy yo para juzgar?", y este es el supuesto jefe de la iglesia católica. Se ha reunido con personas que dicen ser "transgénero" (no puedes cambiar tu género porque es lo mismo que tu sexo, y no se puede cambiar el sexo). Y Francisco le dijo a un hombre gay que Dios lo hizo de esa manera y lo ama tal como es. 

Otros signos de que el Vaticano está cambiando su posición sobre la sodomía están presentes también. El sacerdote jesuita James Martin está prohibido en ciertos círculos católicos de los Estados Unidos por ser pro-sodomía, pero recientemente fue invitado a hablar en el Encuentro Mundial de las Familias (patrocinado por el Vaticano) en Dublín. Joe Tobin, el Cardenal en Newark, invitó a LGBT a hacer una peregrinación a la catedral allí. Cada vez más líderes católicos laicos hablan o escriben en defensa de la sodomía, prácticamente sin resistencia del Vaticano ni de su estructura de poder.

IV. Scale Reduction Magnetic water treatment directly influences the carbonate equilibrium in water, leading to the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles in solution that then cannot precipitate on pipe walls and other equipment. Particles are carried downstream in pipe flow and are later removed with filtration. Patented in 1945 (Vermeiren) MW can be used to prevent and remove scale and is currently common global use of MW. Mineralized coatings inside pipes and water containers have been found to reduce with the use of a magnetized water system (Lin and Yotvat, 1990) like the Magnation Scale Reduction System. Barrett and Parsons (1998) attribute scale reduction to the effect of MW on CaCO3 particles by suppressing nucleation and accelerating crystal growth. The mechanics of how magnetic treatment interacts with calcium carbonate in solution is still unknown, and further investigation must be completed. In Gehr et al. (1995), the precipitation of CaSO4 was investigated and found that magnetic treatment induced precipitation of gypsum crystals (CaSO4 2H2O). But also found that if magnetic treatment were to be an effective treatment for scale prevention it would most likely reduce precipitation on solid surfaces and encourage crystallization. Additionally, Parsons et al. (1997) showed that solution pH is reduced by the introduction of a magnetic field, and that this change in pH directly affects scale growth. Magnetic water treatment for the prevention of scale is accomplished by passing water through a strong magnet that is installed on or in a feed line. Then when the water is later heated, either in a heat exchanger or a boiler, it has lost its tendency to precipitation scale onto the hot surfaces and the deposits that do form have a looser texture that is easily removed (Herzog et al., 1989). Parsons et al. (1997) showed a 48% reduction in scale using MW, and Busch (1997) recorded a 22% reduction. Figure 3. Results from Lipusa and Dobersekb, 2007. Picture (C) is a steel pipe with scale from untreated water; (D) is a similar pipe with little scale from magnetically treated water. Swimming pool water quality can be improved by the addition of a clamp on magnetic device on the circulation system. The magnetic device can prevent and remove scale build up at the water line in the pool and filtration system, and allow for chlorine levels to be reduced by one-half (Kronenberg, 1993). With an efficiency rating of 20-40%, clamp on magnetic treatment devices can remove old scale deposits and prevent the formation of new deposits (Kronenberg, 1993). The U.S. Department of Energy reported that a thin film (1/32in) of scale in a heat exchange surface can increase energy consumption by 8.5%, and scale of up to 1/8in increases energy consumption by 25% (U.S. DOE, 1998). It was estimated that scale removal in Britain cost £ 1billion/year in the early 1990’s (Smith, 2003). The installation of magnetic treatment devices for water softening equipment for the removal or prevention of scale has been shown to generate significant energy savings, even with the initial capital to invest in the technology.

BUSTER KEATON IN HIS OWN TIME What the Responses Of 1920s Critics Reveal

by Wes D. Gehring "Gehring remains supreme in film comedy scholarship." - CHOICE If you thought you knew Keaton, think again!  Buster Keaton "can impress a weary world with the vitally important fact that life, after all, is a foolish inconsequential affair,"wrote critic Robert Sherwood in 1918. A century later Keaton, with his darkly comic "theater of the absurd," speaks to audiences like no other silent comedian. If you thought you knew Keaton --- think again. By closely researching the responses of 1920s critics, Gehring has discovered countless new insights about the comedian's 12 features made from 1923-1929. After a split chapter on THE THREE AGES and OUR HOSPITALITY, each feature receives a full chapter ---- which will give the reader both a broader and better understanding of the film. This will also involve many bombshells. For example, learn how SHERLOCK, JR. started out to seemingly be a different and controversial picture. Discover where Buster's idea to walk into SHERLOCK, JR.'s screen appears to have come from. Take in the many period reasons why THE GENERAL could not help but fail. These would include its pioneering use of dark comedy, and that period's sacred perspective on the Civil War. That era seemed to think it ended in a tie. Therefore, one did not make comedies about the conflict, let alone a DARK COMEDY. Moreover, ponder how THE GENERAL might be the comedian's greatest film, but NOT the greatest KEATON film. Based on Keaton's prior work that honor better belongs to THE NAVIGATOR. Consequently, this book invites a revisionist look at the study of an era that has been stuck in amber too long. The aforementioned Sherwood quote helps explain how Keaton went from almost more of a 1920s cult favorite, to today's most timely comedian of the silent era. Moreover, readers will receive new takes on John Bunny, Fatty Arbuckle, Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon, and other 1920s personalities. It is well researched, but if you are also stuck in amber, one might recycle a signature line from Bette Davis, "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to a bumpy ride."

BATTLING A TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT

What is trademark infringement? In a nutshell, trademark infringement is the unlawful use of an established trademark or a confusingly similar one with the same or similar goods or services.

Depending on the circumstances, a trademark owner who believes its mark is being infringed may file a civil lawsuit in either state or federal court. For a variety of reasons, most trademark infringement matters arise in federal court.

Proving Allegations of Trademark Infringement

How does a trademark owner prove infringement? A plaintiff alleging trademark infringement must prove (1) that it owns a valid mark, (2) that it has priority (its rights in the mark(s) are “senior” to the defendant’s), and (3) that the defendant’s mark is likely to cause confusion in the minds of consumers about the source or sponsorship of the goods or services offered under the parties’ marks. When a plaintiff owns a federal trademark registration, there is a legal presumption of the validity and ownership of the mark, as well as of the exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on or in connection with the goods or services listed in the registration. These presumptions may be rebutted in the court proceedings.

What type of evidence will the courts consider?  Courts will consider evidence addressing various factors to determine whether there is a likelihood of confusion among consumers. The key factors typically considered include the degree of similarity between the marks at issue and whether the parties’ goods and/or services are sufficiently related that consumers are likely to assume (mistakenly) that they come from a common source. Other factors that courts will often consider include how and where the parties’ goods or services are advertised, marketed, and sold; the purchasing conditions; the range of prospective purchasers of the goods or services; whether there is any evidence of actual confusion caused by the allegedly infringing mark; the defendant’s intent in adopting its mark; and the strength of the plaintiff’s mark.

Defenses to Allegations of Trademark Infringement

A defendant can use descriptive words to accurately convey information about its goods or services regardless of the plaintiff’s trademark rights. This is a form of “fair use”, and is readily recognized in the law.  Another limitation on a trademark owner’s rights is geographic remoteness, meaning that if an unregistered trademark is only used in a single state, for example, the trademark owner has no rights to assert claims against a competing trademark owner in another state.  Other possible defenses include: a) that no likelihood of confusion exists because the parties’ marks are different; b) the goods/services sold with the marks are different; c) the target consumers are different; d) the parties advertise and sell through different marketing channels; and e) the parties have coexisted for a long period of time without consumers being actually confused.

Remedies for Unlawful Trademark Infringement

If the trademark owner is able to prove infringement, available remedies they may obtain include the following: (1) a court order (injunction) that the defendant stop using the accused mark; (2) an order requiring the destruction or forfeiture of infringing articles; (3) monetary relief, including defendant’ profits, any damages sustained by the plaintiff, and the costs of the action; and, (4) in appropriate cases, an order that the defendant pay the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. Given these broad remedies, the cost of losing a trademark infringement matter are often enormous.
