On the Feasts of Saints Nicholas of Myra and Ambrose of Milan
Saint Nicholas of Myra, whose feast is celebrated today, Tuesday, December 6, 2022, was a Successor of the Apostles who had a generous, loving heart in the pattern of the Most Sacred Heart of the Good Shepherd Himself, Christ the King, but who was also a firm and unequivocal foe of the heretic Arius and his heresy, Arianism.
Unsurpsingly, it was the arch-revolutionary and destroyer of ecclesiastical and social order, Martin Luther, who, in his desire to end devotion to the saints, including Saint Nicholas, on whose feast and in whose honor Catholics in most European countries during the High Middle Ages gave gifts, sought to take away the meaning of Christmas itself by instituting the giving of greats on the evening of December 24, thereby denigrating the feast of the great miracle worker and foe heresy, Saint Nicholas, whose life of sanctity is celebrated today:
The idea that the Christkind brings children their Christmas gifts goes back to the protestant reformer, Martin Luther (1483-1546). In Luther's time, it was traditional to give children gifts on December 6th, St. Nicolas's Day. To turn away from the Catholic veneration of saints and saint's days, Luther laid gift-giving in his household on Christmas Eve.
He told his children that "Holy Christ" had brought their presents. This tradition quickly took hold in Lutheran families. In Nuremberg, it was already common by the end of the 16th century.
Through the years, this fictional gift-giver took on form. It was most likely the medieval German tradition of Christmas plays, with an Angel of the Annunciation as the main character, which gave the Christmas Angel its earthly appearance. As angels of all sorts began to be depicted as female and not only male, the Christkind also took on a feminine appearance. That is why today a young woman is chosen to play the part of the Nuremberg Christkind. (Christ Kindle Market.)
Protestantism would lead in due course to the invention of "Santa Claus" "Santa Claus," whose image as the fat-bellied, red-nosed man with a long white beard was refined and popularized by Coca-Cola advertising campaigns in the 1920s and 1930s (see Coca-Cola and the History of Santa Claus), dispensing all manner of "toys" to them for which they do have to pay and that will provide them with endless joys, well, endless for at least a time until they start clamoring for more toys. This was designed by Calvinists, Jews and Freemasons to make a buck from the "Christmas season" by turning the Advent weeks of preparation for the birth of the Infant Jesus into a spectacle and shopping and the heightened expectation of receiving material gifts from others.
To dispel the myth of Santa Claus, therefore, the account of this great saint's life as found in the Blessed Jacobus de Voragine's The Golden Legend is what we should read to our children, not Clement Clarke Moore's '"A Visit from Saint Nicholas," in order to teach our children about Saint Nicholas's unfailing devotion to the cause of dogmatic truth, something that must inspire them to be as courageous as he was in this time of apostasy and betrayal as they grow up with figures of Antichrist all around them. It is appended below for your own meditation on a day after his feast day.
According an Athenian monk named Damaskinos, Saint Nicholas was imprisoned, albeit for a brief time, after he had slapped Arius at the Council of Nicea:
"The emperor was sitting on this throne, flanked by 159 bishops to his left and 159 to his right. Arian was presenting his views with great vigor and detail. As Saint Nicholas observed the scene, the bishops listened to Arius in complete silence without interrupting his discourse. Outraged and prompted by his saintly vigor, he left his seat and walked up to Arius, faced him squarely and slapped his face.
"At this, the assembly was shocked. Arius's supporters turned to the emperor, asking that he intervene and punish Nicholas. They said, 'Oh Just One, tell us, can it be fair that in your very presence someone should be permitted, without hindrance, to assault another? If he has anything to say in rebuttal, by all means let him have his say. But if he is not sufficiently learned to make a proper argument, then it were better if he remain in his seat, quietly, and listen to others who are prepared to state their case in words.'
'Arius himself spoke directly to the emperor, 'Should anyone who has the temerity to hit me, in from of Your Majesty, remain unpunished?' Emperor Constantine replied, 'Indeed, there is a law which forbids anyone to lift his hand in violence in the presence of the emperor and it specifies that his hand be cut off. However, it is not up to me, in this in Assembly, to act upon it. Instead, Your Holinesses, should make the decision in this case; I leave it to your judgment, whether and how this act is to be punished.'
"The bishops conferred with each other, and when they came to a decision, they said to the emperor, 'Your Majesty, the bishop of Myra has acted wrongfully. We all saw it happen and attest to it. We therefore ask your permission to let us strip him of his clerical garments, shackle him, and place him under guard as a prisoner. In this way, he shall not be permitted to participate in the proceedings of the Council for the rest of the deliberations. Once the synod is completed, a final judgment in his case may be made.'
"As a result, that evening, Nicholas was made a prisoner in another wing of the palace. He was placed in a jail-like room, without his bishop's mantle and shackled on hand and foot. However, during the night he was visited by Jesus [and His] Mother. They observed Saint Nicholas in his cell and said, 'Nicholas, why are you imprisoned?' And Saint Nicholas said, 'Because of my love for you." First they freed him from his shackles. And then Jesus said, 'Take this! and he gave him a volume of the Holy Scripture. Then [Mary] went away, returned, and brought him his bishop's garments, so that he might clothe himself with appropriate dignity. At peace, he studied the Holy Book through the night.
"The next morning, a jailer came to bring him bread, saw that Nicholas was no longer shackled, that he was clothed in the garments of his position, an that he was studying the Scriptures in the cell. Even his stole was in one hand, while he held the book with the other. News of this miraculous event was quickly brought to the emperor. He asked that Nicholas be freed, and when the two men met, the emperor asked the bishop's forgiveness (Ebon, 34-35)." (As found in Joe Wheeler and Jim Rosenthal, St. Nicholas: A Closer Look at Christmas, published by Nelson Reference and Electronic, a Division of Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville, Tennessee, 2005, pp. 46-47.)
That's the Saint Nicholas we should follow, not the false "Santa Clauses" of the false opposites of Modernity or the false "Santa Clauses" who have given away the Holy Faith in the name of "aggiornamento" and who have given away her moral authority to various "world governing" bodies (see Finishing Off The Overthrow of the Papal States).
The readings for Matins as found in the Divine Office for today's feast provide us with additional inspiration of a saint of true Catholic charity, starting with a love for God and the integrity of His Sacred Deposit of Faith:
Nicolas was born at the famous city of Patara in Lycia. His parents obtained him from God by prayer, and the holiness of his life was marked even from the cradle. When he was at the breast he never would suck more than once on Wednesdays and Fridays, and that always after sunset, though he sucked freely on other days. This custom of fasting he never broke through during his whole life. While he was still a young man he lost both his father and mother, after which he gave his whole property away to the poor. One particular example is given of his Christian charity. There was a certain needy man in the city who had three marriageable daughters, for whom he could not get husbands, and so thought to make them harlots. When Nicolas heard of it, he went to the house by night and threw in by the window such a sum of money as made a dowry for one of them. This he did a second and a third time, and thus by his charity they were honourably given in marriage.
When he had given himself entirely to God he set forth for Palestine, that he might see the Holy Places, and worship therein. During this pilgrimage he embarked once on board a ship when the sky was clear and the sea calm, but he foretold a great storm, which afterwards arose and raged until the sailors were afraid; and then the saint by prayer stilled the tempest. After he had returned home, and his holy life was known to all men, God bade him go to Myra, which is the chief city of Lycia, at a time when the Bishop had just died and the Bishops of the Province were called together to choose a successor. While they deliberated, they received a warning from heaven to choose that Nicolas who should first come into the church in the morning. In obedience to that warning, Nicolas was seized at the door of the church, and with universal consent consecrated Archbishop. In his great office he was an unceasing model of purity, as he had always been, of gravity, of regularity in prayer, of watching, of abstinence, of charity, of hospitality, of meekness in exhortation, and of sternness in rebuke.
He was the comforter of widows and orphans by money, by advice, and by labour. He was the deliverer of the oppressed, so mightily, that it is related that the Emperor Constantine once unjustly condemned three Tribunes to death, and these unhappy men called upon Nicolas, though living and absent, to save them, who yet appeared in a vision to the Emperor, and forced him by threats to set them free. When the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian published their edict against Christianity, Nicolas did not cease to preach the truth at Myra, wherefore he was seized by the soldiers of the Emperors, carried away from his See, and thrown into prison, where he remained until the accession of Constantine. This Prince set him free, and he returned to Myra. He betook himself to the first Council of Nice, where he was one of the 318 Bishops who condemned the heresy of Arius. He returned thence to his Bishopric, and, not long after, became aware of the approach of death. When his last moment was come, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and, when he saw the Angels coming to meet him, he began to recite the thirtieth Psalm, In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust, and when he had said, Into thy hands I commend my spirit, he passed to the heavenly Fatherland. His body was finally removed to Bari in Apulia, where it is kept with great fame and honour. (Matins for the Feast of Saint Nicholas.)
Archbishop Jacobus de Voragine's The Golden Legend includes several remarkable stories wrought by Saint Nicholas, both in life and after his death:
And when his father and mother were departed out of this life, he began to think how he might distribute his riches, and not to the praising of the world but to the honour and glory of God. And it was so that one, his neighbour, had then three daughters, virgins, and he was a nobleman: but for the poverty of them together, they were constrained, and in very purpose to abandon them to the sin of lechery, so that by the gain and winning of their infamy they might be sustained. And when the holy man Nicholas knew hereof he had great horror of this villainy, and threw by night secretly into the house of the man a mass of gold wrapped in a cloth. And when the man arose in the morning, he found this mass of gold, and rendered to God therefor great thankings, and therewith he married his oldest daughter.
And a little while after this holy servant of God threw in another mass of gold, which the man found, and thanked God, and purposed to wake, for to know him that so had aided him in his poverty. And after a few days Nicholas doubled the mass of gold, and cast it into the house of this man. He awoke by the sound of the gold, and followed Nicholas, which fled from him, and he said to him: Sir, flee not away so but that I may see and know thee.
Then he ran after him more hastily, and knew that it was Nicholas; and anon he kneeled down, and would have kissed his feet, but the holy man would not, but required him not to tell nor discover this thing as long as he lived.
There was a man that had borrowed of a Jew a sum of money, and sware upon the altar of S. Nicholas that he would render and pay it again as soon as he might, and gave none other pledge. And this man held this money so long, that the Jew demanded and asked his money, and he said that he had paid him.
Then the Jew made him to come tofore the law in judgment, and the oath was given to the debtor. And he brought with him an hollow staff, in which he had put the money in gold, and he leant upon the staff. And when he should make his oath and swear, he delivered his staff to the Jew to keep and hold whilst he should swear, and then sware that he had delivered to him more than he ought to him. And when he had made the oath, he demanded his staff again of the Jew, and he nothing knowing of his malice delivered it to him.
Then this deceiver went his way, and anon after, him list sore to sleep, and laid him in the way, and a cart with four wheels came with great force and slew him, and brake the staff with gold that it spread abroad. And when the Jew heard this, he came thither sore moved, and saw the fraud, and many said to him that he should take to him the gold; and he refused it, saying, But if he that was dead were not raised again to life by the merits of S. Nicholas, he would not receive it, and if he came again to life, he would receive baptism and become Christian. Then he that was dead arose, and the Jew was christened.
Another Jew saw the virtuous miracles of S. Nicholas, and did do make an image of the saint, and set it in his house, and commanded him that he should keep well his house when he went out, and that he should keep well all his goods, saying to him: Nicholas, lo! here be all my goods, I charge thee to keep them, and if thou keep them not well, I shall avenge me on thee in beating and tormenting thee.
And on a time, when the Jew was out, thieves came and robbed all his goods, and left, unborne away, only the image. And when the Jew came home he found him robbed of all his goods. He areasoned the image saying these words: Sir Nicholas, I had set you in my house for to keep my goods from thieves, wherefore have ye not kept them? Ye shall receive sorrow and torments, and shall have pain for the thieves. I shall avenge my loss, and refrain [subdue] my woodness [madness] in beating thee.
And then took the Jew the image, and beat it, and tormented it cruelly. Then happed a great marvel, for when the thieves departed the goods, the holy saint, like as he had been in his array, appeared to the thieves, and said to them: Wherefore have I been beaten so cruelly for you and have so many torments? See how my body is hewed and broken; see how that the red blood runneth down by my body; go ye fast and restore it again, or else the ire of God Almighty shall make you as to be one out of his wit, and that all men shall know your felony, and that each of you shall be hanged.
And they said: Who art thou that sayest to us such things? And he said to them: I am Nicholas the servant of Jesu Christ, whom the Jew hath so cruelly beaten for his goods that ye bare away.
Then they were afeard, and came to the Jew, and heard what he had done to the image, and they told him the miracle, and delivered to him again all his goods. And thus came the thieves to the way of truth, and the Jew to the way of Jesu Christ. (Archbishop Jacobus de Vorgaine, O.P., The Golden Legend: Saint Nicholas.)
Saint Nicholas of Myra did not tolerate heresy in life, and he did not countenance it in death. He was ever-seeking to correct error and to refute falsehood while also, of course, seeking the unconditional conversion of all others, including Jews, to the true Faith, In other words, he stands as yet another saintly rebuke to conciliarism and its false ecumenism, whose lords have proven themselves to be the true anti-Semites on the face of the earth by refusing to seek their conversion so that the the scales can drop from the eyes of their immortal souls just as they had fallen from the bodily and spiritual eyes of Saul of Tarsus, who was, to be use his phrase, chosen out of time, by Our Lord Himself to be the Apostle to the Gentiles.
The prayer composed by Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., for this feast day is very relevant to our own days of apostasy and betrayal:
Holy pontiff Nicholas, how great is thy glory in God's Church! Thou didst confess the name of Jesus before the proconsuls of the world's empire and suffer persecution for His name's sake; afterwards thou wast witness to the wonderful workings of God, when He restored peace to His Church; and a short time after this again, thou didst open thy lips, in the assembly of the three hundred and eighteen fathers, to confess with supreme authority the Divinity of our Saviour Jesus Christ, for whose sake so many millions of martyrs had already shed their blood. Receive the devout felicitations of the Christian people throughout the universe, who thrill with joy when the think of thy glorious merits. Help us by thy prayers during these days when we are preparing for the coming of Him, whom thou didst proclaim to be consubstantial with the Father. Vouchsafe to assist our faith and to obtain fresh fervor to our love. Thou now beholdest face to face that Word by whom all things were made and redeemed; beseech Him to permit our unworthiness to approach Him. Be thou our intercessor with Him. Thou hast taught us to now Him as the sovereign and eternal God; teach us also to love Him as the supreme benefactor of the children of Adam. It was that tender compassion for the sufferings of they fellow-men, which made all thy miracles to be so many acts of kindness: cease not, now that thou art in the company of the angels, to have pity on us and to succour our miseries.
Stir up and increase the faith of mankind in the Saviour whom the Lord hath sent them. May this be one of the fruits of thy prayers, that the divine Word may be no longer unknown and forgotten in this world, which He has redeemed with His Blood. Ask for the pastors of the Church that spirit of charity, which shone so brilliantly in thee; that spirit which makes them like their divine Master, and wins them the hearts of their people.
Remember, too, O holy pontiff, that Church of the east which still loves thee so fervently. When thou wast on this earth, God gave thee power to raise the dead to life; pray now, that the true life, which consists in faith and unity, may return once more and animate that body which schism has robbed of its soul. By thy supplications, obtain of God that the sacrifice of the Lamb, who is soon to visit us, may be again and soon celebrated under the cupolas of St. Sophia. May the sanctuaries of Kiev and Moscow became resanctified by the return of the people to unity. May the pride of the crescent be humbled into submission to the cross, and the schismatic be brought to acknowledge the power of the keys of St. Peter' that thus there may be henceforth neither Scythian, nor barbarian, but one fold under one Shepherd. (As found in Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year.)
Saint Nicholas of Myra made no terms with error or heresy. Neither can we.
The saint whose feast is celebrated tomorrow, Saturday, December 7, 2019, Saint Ambrose of Milan, who baptized Saint Augustine of Hippo in the year 387 A.D., also made no terms with the Arian heresy that Saint Nicholas himself had fought at the Council of Nicea, something that the readings for Matins from today's office explains:
Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, was the son of another Ambrose, a Roman citizen, and was born when his father was Prefect of Gaul, about the year of our Lord 340. A swarm of bees settled upon his face when he was in his cradle, which was considered an omen of his future eloquence. He received a liberal education at Rome. He was afterwards, under the Prefect Probus, made governor of Liguria and Emilia, and so came with authority to Milan. Auxentius, an Arian, who had been intruded into the Bishoprick of Milan, happening to die, the most violent disputes arose about the choice of a successor. Ambrose came to the church in his official capacity, and urged upon the contending factions, in a long and powerful speech, the necessity of keeping the public peace; whereupon a child suddenly cried out, Ambrose, Bishop, and the whole assembly took it up, and unanimously called for his election.
Ambrose refused, and would not yield to their prayers, whereupon they carried their petition to the Emperor Valentinian. It was very pleasing to this Prince that those he had appointed as judges should be chosen Bishops, as also to the Prefect Probus, who had, as it were prophetically, said to him when he appointed him, Go and govern them more like a Bishop than a Judge. When the will of the Emperor was added to the desire of the people, Ambrose yielded, and received Baptism, (for hitherto he was only a Catechumen,) Confirmation, and Communion, and then the several Orders on successive days, till on the eighth day, which was the 7th of December, in the year 374, the weight of the Episcopate was laid upon his shoulders. Being made Bishop, he showed himself a stout upholder of the Catholic faith, and the discipline of the Church, and turned to the truth great numbers of Arians and other heretics, and, among them, he begat in Christ Jesus that burning and shining light of the Church, Austin [Augustine].
After the murder of the Emperor Gratian, in 383, Ambrose was sent as an ambassador to Maximus, by whom he had been slain, and, as he refused to repent, the Bishop renounced his communion. After the massacre which the Emperor Theodosius had commanded at Thessalonica, in 390, he refused to permit that Prince to enter a church. The Emperor pleaded that he was no worse than David, who had been guilty of adultery and murder, to which Ambrose answered him, As thou hast followed him in his sin, follow him also in his repentance. Then Theodosius humbly did public penance laid upon him by the Bishop. At length the Saint was worn out with his continual labour and care for the Church, (for the which also he composed many excellent books,) and foretold that the day of his death was at hand, though he had not then fallen into his last sickness. As he lay dying, Honoratus, Bishop of Vercelli, heard a voice from God three times crying to him that the hour of Ambrose's departure was come, whereupon he went to him quickly, and gave him the sacred Body of our Lord. When he had received It, the Saint, still praying, with his hands stretched out in the form of a cross, gave his spirit to God, upon the 4th day of April, in the year of Christ, 397. (Matins, Divine Office, Feast of Saint Ambrose.)
Dom Prosper Gueranger's prayer to this great Bishop of Milan who baptized the former profligate Augustine of Hippo, should inspire us to be as uncompromising as he was:
And we, too, O immortal Ambrose, unworthy though we may be to take part in such a choir, we, too, will praise thee! We will praise the magnificent gifts which our Lord bestowed upon thee. Thou art the light of the Church and the salt of the earth by thy heavenly teachings; thou are the vigilant pastor, the affectionate father, the unyielding pontiff; oh! how must thy heart have loved Jesus, for whom we are now preparing! With what undaunted courage thou didst at the risk of thy life, resist them that blasphemed this divine Word! Well indeed has thou thereby merited to be made one of the patrons of the faithful, to lead them, each year, to Him who is their Saviour, and their King! Let, then, a ray of the truth, which filled thy sublime soul whilst here on earth, penetrate even into our hearts; give us a relish for thy sweet and eloquent writings; get us a sentiment of devoted love for the Jesus who is soon to be with us. Obtain for us, after they example, to take up His cause with energy, against the enemies of the holy faith, against the spirits of darkness, and against ourselves. Let everything yield, let everything be annihilated, let ever knee bow, let every heart confess itself conquered, in the presence of Jesus, the eternal Word of the Father, the Son of God, and the Son of Mary, our Redeemer, our Judge, our All.
Glorious saint! humble us, as thou didst Theodosius; raise us up again contrite and converted, as thou didst lovingly raise up this thy strayed sheep and carry him back to thy fold. Pray, too, for the Catholic hierarchy, of which thou wast one of the brightest ornaments. Ask of God, for the priests and bishops of His Church, that humble yet inflexible courage wherewith they should resist the powers of the world, as often as these abuse the authority which God has put into their hands. Let their face, as our Lord Himself speaks, become hard as adamant against the enemies of the Church, and may they set themselves as a wall for the house of Israel; may they consider it as the highest privilege, and the greatest happiness, to be permitted to expose their prosperity and peace, and life, for the liberty of this holy bride of Christ.
Valiant champion of truth! arm thyself with thy scourge, which the Church has given thee as they emblem; and drive far from the flock of Christ the wolves of the Arian tribe, which, under various names, are even now prowling round the fold. Let our ears be no longer shocked with the blasphemies of these proud teachers, who presume to scan, judge, approve, and blame, by the measure of their vain conceits, the great God who has given them everything they are and have, and who, out of infinite love for His creatures, has deigned to humble Himself and become one of ourselves, although knowing that men would make this very condescension an argument for denying that He is God.
Remove our prejudices, O thou great lover of truth! and crush within us those time-serving and unwise theories, which tend to make us Christians forget that Jesus is King of this world, and look on the law, which equally protects error and truth, as the perfection of modern systems. May we understand that the rights of the Son of God and of His Church do not cease to exist, because the world ceases to acknowledge them; that to give the same protection to the true religion and to those false doctrines which men have set up in opposition to the teachings of the Church, is to deny that all power has been given to Jesus in heaven and on earth; that those scourges which periodically come upon the world are the lessons which Jesus gives to those who trample on the rights of His Church, rights which He so justly acquired by dying on the cross for all mankind; that, finally, though it be out of our power to restore those rights to people that have had the misfortune to resign them, yet it is our duty, under pain of being accomplices with those who would not have Jesus reign over them, to acknowledge that they are the rights of the Church.
And lastly, dear saint, in the midst of the dark clouds which lower over the world, console our holy mother the Church, who is now but a stranger and a pilgrim amidst those nations which were her children, but have now denied her; may she cull the flowers of holy virginity among the faithful, and may that holy state be the attraction of those fortunate sols who understand how grand is the dignity of being a bride of Christ. If, at the very commencement of her ministry, during the age of persecution, the holy Church could lead countless virgins to Jesus, may it be so even now in our own age of crime and sensuality; may those pure and generous hearts, formed and consecrated to the Lamb by this holy mother, become more and more numerous; and so give to her enemies this irresistible proof that she is not barren, as they pretend, and that it is she that alone preserves the world from universal corruption, by leavening it with angelic purity. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year.)
We must be willing to stand up for the truths of our Catholic Faith, including the Social Reign of Christ the King, without any equivocation or compromise in the slightest, yes, no matter if doing so costs us our very physical lives as to die for Our King will win us the crown of the only life that matters, eternal life in the glory of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost in Heaven.
Every Rosary we pray, offered up to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, will help to make reparation for our sins, which are so responsible for the state of the Church Militant on earth and for that of the world-at-large, and those of the whole world, including the conciliarists who blaspheme God regularly by means of lies such as the "hermeneutic of continuity and discontinuity." The final triumph belongs to the Immaculate Heart of the very Mother of God who brought forth her Divine Son on Christmas Day.
Let us take confidence always in this triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary as we let her, who was given by her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to be our own Mother as she was given by Him to Saint John the Beloved, who represented us at the foot of the Holy Cross, to be his Mother. The conciliarists lose in the end. Christ the King will emerge triumphant once again as the fruit of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of His Mother and our Queen, Mary Immaculate.
What are we waiting for?
Viva Cristo Rey! Vivat Christus Rex!
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
Saint Joseph, pray for us.
Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.
Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.
Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.

THURSDAY, Dec. 31, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Forget buying a dog bed. New research shows that nearly half of pet parents say their pooches co-sleep in their owner's bed.
More than 1,000 Australian dog owners participated in the study conducted by Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y.
About 49% of participants, who ranged in age from 18 to 78, said their dog sleeps in their bed. Another 20% said their dog sleeps in the same bedroom, though not in the bed. The remaining 31% said their dog sleeps outside the bedroom.
"Studies of humans' relationships with their companion animals have almost exclusively focused on the ways people engage with their pets during their waking hours, yet people commonly spend their sleeping hours with pets in their beds or bedrooms," said study author Christy Hoffman, associate professor of animal behavior.
"This study presents one of the few comprehensive investigations into the practice of human-dog co-sleeping, and supports previous claims that dog owners commonly choose to sleep with their dogs in their beds or bedrooms," she said in a university news release.
Using heat map images, the researchers determined that when two people were in the double-, queen- or king-sized bed, the dog tended to sleep at their feet or in the middle of the bed. When one person and one dog shared a bed, the dogs mostly slept at human chest level, in the space where a human partner might have slept.
For individuals with a single bed, the dogs most often slept on the floor beside the bed, though some slept on the bed at human chest level.
Nearly one-third of dogs slept under the covers, the study found.
"Older participants were more likely to bed share with their dogs, as were singles and individuals who had small dogs rather than medium- or large-sized dogs," Hoffman said. "Bed size also impacted the likelihood of bed sharing."
Nearly two-thirds of participants said their dogs rarely or never disturbed their sleep. These findings supported prior research in which Hoffman used activity trackers to determine women's nighttime movements when they shared a bed with a dog.
That study found women were three times as likely to transition from an inactive to an active state if their dog moved during the preceding minute. The women didn't recall their dogs disturbing their sleep in the majority of instances.
"Given how little participants recalled dog-related sleep disruptions in relation to how much dog movement we observed across nights, it seems that humans are not consciously associating their nights of poor sleep with their dogs' nighttime activities," Hoffman noted.
"This discrepancy suggests that despite the disturbances canine bed partners create, they may be fulfilling a psychological need for feeling safe and secure during sleep periods," she added.
The findings were recently published in Human-Animal Interaction, a bulletin of the American Psychological Association.

Antibody repertoire development in fetal and neonatal piglets. XVI. Influenza stimulates adaptive immunity, class switch and diversification of the IgG repertoire encoded by downstream C-gamma genes. Immunology. 138(2):134-144. Interpretive Summary: The immune system helps protect animals from disease. It can be divided into two compartments, the humoral and cellular immune system that work together against infectious agents. Humoral immunity involves the production of antibodies by B cells, a type of cell that circulates in the blood. Cellular immunity involves T cells, another type of blood cell that can "attack" infectious agents using several mechanisms. Viruses and bacteria are constantly mutating trying to improve their chances to infect animals. Vaccines can be used to enhance the immune system to minimize or prevent infections. To better understand how a vaccine might be improved, it is necessary to understand more about the immune response. This paper describes studies investigating the development of the humoral immune response against swine influenza virus using germ-free pigs as the animal model. This response involves the development of a specific class of antibodies suggesting if this response could be enhanced, then the overall immune response against influenza virus might be enhanced. This knowledge may be applied towards developing future vaccines that stimulate a specific class of antibodies to better fight a disease like swine flu. Technical Abstract: Infection of germfree isolator piglets with swine influenza (S-FLU) that generates ds-RNA during replication causes elevation of Igs in serum and bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL), a very weak response to TNP conjugates but an immune response to S-FLU. The increased Igs levels result mainly from the polyclonal activation of B cells during the infection, but model antigen exposure may contribute. The 10-fold increase in local and serum IgG accompanies a 10-fold decrease in the transcription of IgG3 in the tracheal-bronchial lymph nodes (TBLN) and in the ileal Peyers patches (IPP). Infection results in class switch recombination (CSR) to downstream C-gamma genes which diversify their repertoire; both features are diagnostic of adaptive immunity. Meanwhile the repertoires of IgM and IgG3 remain undiversified suggesting they encode innate, natural antibodies. While IgG3 may play an initial protective role, antibodies encoded by downstream C-gamma genes with diversified repertoires are predicted to be most important in long-term protection to S-FLU. |

Millions of euro in Ireland are spent each year on drugs to relieve heartburn, acid reflux, bloating, gas, irritable bowel, constipation, diarrhea and other digestive disorders. These symptoms of abnormal digestive are becoming increasingly more prevalent in our society. Science and research have shown that chiropractic care offers a powerful solution to this modern-day epidemic.
The nervous system controls digestive function from several different regions. The vagus nerve which courses out of the brain stem and runs near the atlas bone innervates all the major organs of digestion and functions to stimulate the digestive process. Other major areas controlling the pace of digestion include the sympathetic nerves coming out of the thoracic & lumbar regions and the sacral parasympathetic nerve fibers. Spinal misalignment in any of these regions can lead to neurological compromise and altered digestive function.
Wellness oriented chiropractors search for the location of such spinal misalignments termed `subluxations.` A specific chiropractic adjustment realigns the altered regions and restores nerve supply to the deficient organs. This approach honors the body's innate ability to heal and works to harmonize this incredible life force in order to enhance organ function & quality of life.
Several studies have demonstrated the power of chiropractic adjustments restoring optimal function in individuals with digestive disturbances. In a published case study, a young woman had been afflicted with IBS symptoms once or twice a week for 5 years. After one adjustment she noticed an easing of symptoms and within a short time all her digestive problems disappeared. When the report was published 2 years later she was still symptom free.
A 2008 study demonstrated how effective chiropractic care is for infants with digestive disturbances. Researchers chose three infants who were experiencing infrequent bowel movements from once a week to once every 3 or 4 days. Parents of these infants had tried several different laxatives and other procedures recommended by their medical staff. They had also followed specific dietary changes and the use of cod liver oil and mineral oil without any results.
The infants began wellness oriented chiropractic for periods ranging from three weeks to three months. According to the study author Dr. Larry S.Arbeitman, D.C., ` All three experienced almost immediate improvement. By the end of the study all three had bowel movements at least once every day.`
Subluxations within specific areas of the spine can prevent the bowel from functioning properly. Throughout the years it has been common place to see instances of people of all ages who have not had a bowel movement for days experience almost immediate relief after an adjustment. Regular chiropractic care can help patients establish a more natural rhythm of comfortable, effortless elimination.

1 Great Dividend You Can Buy Right Now
Dividend stocks are everywhere, but many just downright stink. In some cases, the business model is in serious jeopardy, or the dividend itself isn't sustainable. In others, the dividend is so low, it's not even worth the paper your dividend check is printed on. A solid dividend strikes the right balance of growth, value, and sustainability.
Today, and one day each week for the rest of the year, we're going to look at one dividend-paying company that you can put in your portfolio for the long term without too much concern. This isn't to say that these stocks don't share the same macro risks that other companies have, but they are a step above your common grade of dividend stock. Check out last week's selection.
This week, we're diving deep into the auto and industrial parts replacement market and taking a look at why Genuine Parts is a name you can trust.
Genuine Parts: more than meets the lug nut
The case often made for owning Genuine Parts, or for avoiding it, is actually one and the same. Newer cars produced today are expected to last longer without the need for parts replacement which, ultimately, is a negative for auto parts suppliers like Genuine Parts, AutoZone , and Advance Auto Parts . Conversely, the price of new cars is soaring relative to stagnant consumer wages. This is enticing enough to spur the sale of used and older vehicles which can often require considerably more maintenance, playing into the hands of all three of the above-named companies.
Genuine Parts is actually much more than just auto parts, as it supplies bearings, hydraulic and pneumatic components, and other parts to the industrial sector, as well as office supplies and electronic materials. As you might imagine, its office products segment has been under serious pressure as small business spending has stagnated and online competition has eaten into bricks-and-mortar sales. Similarly, Genuine Parts' electronics segment is prone to pricing pressures based on industrywide demand. Luckily, all four segments have been growing and have contributed to a 4% same-store-sales boost for Genuine Parts in its most recent quarter.
Even better, the new auto sales forecast from Edmunds.com could signal that a boost in replacement auto parts is coming. According to Edmunds, auto sales are expected to tally 15 million units in 2013, only a 4% rise from 2012 and the slowest growth since the recession. That's bad news for domestic auto giants General Motors and Ford who rely on consumers to pay a premium for newer and more reliable vehicles, but it's just the boost auto replacement part providers like Genuine Parts are looking for.
A battle royale
What this really comes down to is a comparison between Genuine Parts and its NAPA Auto Parts stores and its primary foes AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts.
AutoZone's first-quarter results in early December highlighted its 25th straight double-digit EPS increase, but were fueled, yet again, by heavy share repurchases and cost-cutting, and not much organic top-line growth. Same-store sales increased just 0.2% for AutoZone and it boasted a scary $3.7 billion in net debt.
Advance Auto Parts, which had been entertaining the idea of putting itself up for sale, reported a third-quarter EPS decline of 14% as same-store sales dropped 1.8% in early November. Despite its feverish pace opening stores, Advance Auto's management team noted weaknesses in cold weather markets and a shortfall in connecting with its commercial customers.
Genuine Parts, however, has been clicking on all cylinders. As I noted previously, its same-store sales advanced 4% in its most recent quarter as a mixture of product and business segment diversity, overseas expansion, and cost-cutting combined to improve results from the bottom up. Cumulatively, Genuine Parts also has the least amount of net debt on its balance sheet among these three companies at $102 million.
A 56-point inspection
One of the greatest perks of maintaining close relationships with its commercial customers while also successfully transitioning overseas and keeping costs under control is that cash flow often remains consistent or heads higher. Since 2007, Genuine Parts has averaged $553 million in annual cash flow. Not surprisingly, its cash flow allows the company incredible flexibility relative to its peers in opening new stores, expanding into new product lines and... paying a really nice dividend!
If you look under the hood of Genuine Parts you'll discover a company that's raised its annual payout to shareholders a near-record 56 consecutive years! As you know from my frequent highlighting of dividend aristocrats, this is just a stone's throw from the current record-holder Diebold, which has increased its payout in 59 straight years. Have a look for yourself at this dividend's amazing growth:
Source: Nasdaq.com.
I've definitely featured more prolific dividend growth rates previously, but few offer the stability that Genuine Parts can offer investors. It's also worth noting how rapidly the payout has increased in the past two years, which leads me to believe that the company anticipates a sizable slowdown in new auto sales. Yet, even with a 10% payout hike last year, its payout ratio of 49% leaves plenty of room for future growth.
Foolish roundup
Without mincing words, Genuine Parts consistently drives over its competitors and is the safest bet in auto parts supply. AutoZone's debt is a concern, Advance Auto Parts' growth is too inconsistent, and don't even get me started on the laughing stock of the sector, Pep Boys. Genuine Parts' ancillary businesses and ever-expanding product line provide a degree of stability during tough economic times that its peers simply can't match. At just 15 times forward earnings and yielding 3%, this appears to be a smart income-producing play for at least the next decade.
Is the Ford rebound about to hit neutral?
Ford has been performing incredibly well as a company over the past few years -- it's making good vehicles, is consistently profitable, recently reinstated its dividend, and has done a remarkable job paying down its debt. But Ford's stock seems stuck in neutral. Does this create an incredible buying opportunity, or are there hidden risks with the stock that investors need to know about? To answer that, one of our top equity analysts has compiled a premium research report with in-depth analysis on whether Ford is a buy right now, and why.

Van Rompuy, Obama - Is it Change or Chains?December 7, 2009The EU has confirmed Herman Van Rompuy as the first permanent President of the emerging United States of Europe. He has clearly stated that the first order of business for the EU will be to solidify the economy and answer the social changes the 47 member states are facing. No doubt the plight of homosexuals is on the top of the list of social problems perceived in the EU because this week a meeting is taking place in Europe to address the fact that not everyone is getting on board with the gay agenda. Homophobia, transphobia and other forms of sexual orientation discrimination is said to still exist in the EU on a larger scale than the Union wants to see. Some sixty countries around the world are not on the same page as the EU including Catholics across the globe that are lead and or tutored by the Pope. Some countries not only don't think it is a big issue but they would prefer not to promote the gay lifestyle in any way. While they are generally disregarded by most members of the G-20 they nevertheless are not moved by the EU concerns or the recent vote at the UN General Assembly by some 66 countries. The world is clearly split over these kinds of social concerns. President Obama is firmly committed to the homosexual agenda and recent promises made to the LBGT and others have caused some in the conservative movement and the evangelical and Pentecostal churches to shudder. It is also clear that the church's concerns have little bearing on the President's position to throw the doors open for the gay agenda by closing the steel doors around those who make so much as a whimper against the gays. Signing the untested and highly suspect Matthew Shepard Act is the latest evidence of that. Religious freedoms and the gay agenda are on a collision course in America and this is a speeding train no mere mortal can stop. The test will be based on whether gospel preachers, ministers, evangelists and teachers will be able to say what the Bible clearly says without being fined or imprisoned. If they are inhibited in any way, then the question becomes constitutional because the Congress is bound by that document to refrain from making any laws to inhibit or promote any religion, Christian or otherwise. For the Bible and faith based churches that would spell the end of their faith not just some minor adjustment. The Bible is central to the beliefs of almost all conservative historical Protestant denominations and to most of Catholicism as well. Neither the Pope nor the leaders of most evangelical, independent and Pentecostal churches are going to stand idly by while their churches are wrecked by a social upheaval based on a sexual orientation. Whatever tests must be applied, whatever price must be paid we can be assured it will be paid. The church could see what was coming early on in the Obama administration when he declared that the passages in the book of Romans (Ro 1:24f) penned by the Apostle Paul were only an obscure passage that needn't be taken seriously. At that point he was bucking the fact that these passages are at the very heart of the gospel message for almost every Bible believing Christian in the world. They are considered reliable and are seen as the edicts of God. Even as Van Rompuy is proclaiming a newer kinder socially softer Europe and President Obama is promising a happier sexual climate for the orientation-confused, the church is taking one smack on the jaw! That these portents were predicted, forecast or fully prophesied seems less astounding than the complete aloofness that the new social engineers have about it all. It's as if the commonly accepted notion that millions of homosexuals remained closeted until the time was right and the social climate had changed is actually the real answer to the modern rise in homosexual activity. The Bible says that it is the rampant immorality that prevails in the last days that draws out every kind of unbridled deviant behavior. Gays in the advanced nations didn't exist in the millions as they do today; in fact there were practically none by comparison only a hundred years ago, but let's not ask history to back up the Bible because that too is being re-written as well by today's social engineers. Oddly, prophecy doesn't ever apologize even if some believers are perfectly comfortable with the slide into apostasy and feel the need to descend to the emerging social tendencies of a world plunging into reprobation. Prophecy just goes on to its final destination which is complete and total fulfillment. Unlike many of his contemporaries Daniel does have the distinction of having almost all of the major prophecies in his message given to him directly by the angel Gabriel. You will recall that this was the same celestial being that announced the virgin birth to Mary the mother of Jesus Christ. Daniel had an unusual level of details revealed to him on the social climate and general activities of people in the last days. Daniel was almost 3000 years early with his prophecies but not a minute too late. He saw that knowledge would be increased and that worldwide travel would see men and women traversing the globe in ever burgeoning numbers. One of the most unusual conditions Daniel describes in the last days speaks of the failure of a modern world to socially engineer a society where everyone is on the same level just because they decide it's going to be that way. The failure of communism and other playing field levelers will once again be ignored and society will be forced by universally mandated laws and rules to accept all behaviors in all places equally. But sadly in one single declaration the prophet proclaims the utter failure of this attempt. Describing the nation that was once in the same geographical area as the old Roman Empire being revived in modern times Daniel said "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." (Da 2:43) Mingling the seed of men has nothing to do with genetic engineering but it refers to social engineering of the sort that forces a one size fits all across the board. That includes religion, race, sexual orientation and every other social aspect of civilian life. It raises a huge question that very few are listening to and very few have answered. Yet, the question and its answer are almost too easy. The question of whether it works or not is answered with an unequivocal, no. The reasons for its failure are also brutally apparent: "they shall not cleave to each other" indicates that the human heart is the problem, not the social landscape. Here is what the Bible says about that inveterate deceiver known as the human heart. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart; I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."� (Jer 17:9-10) Men have rejected the heart transforming and life changing power of the gospel for 2,000 years but man thinks he can legislate and enforce certain social conditions in the last few years of time as we know it and that it will actually work. Laws will prove quite ineffective to change the narcissistic, self serving stronghold known as the human heart. Only the complete and utter abandonment to the grace of God and a full repentance from a life of sin can do what the evangelists have been calling for since the days of the early church, which is to transform the heart by the renewing of the mind. Oddly we must return to that book our President described as obscure to discover the key to the whole matter. Once again we hear the apostle Paul say "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2) In the end, trying to legislate social behavior will turn out not to be the welcomed change everyone is clamoring for but only a new form of chains no one will be able to live with for very long. The only question remaining is why would a nation exchange the beautiful ring of freedom for the dreaded clinking of chains and fetters for her once noble citizens? Samuel F. Smith penned the song 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee' in 1831 and in it he called for a sound to come forth from our every mountainside. Is this the day to muffle these chimes and bells for the rattle of chains? My country, 'tis of thee,

10Ah, you who make iniquitous decrees,
who write oppressive statutes,
2 to turn aside the needy from justice
and to rob the poor of my people of their right,
that widows may be your spoil,
and that you may make the orphans your prey!
3 What will you do on the day of punishment,
in the calamity that will come from far away?
To whom will you flee for help,
and where will you leave your wealth,
4 so as not to crouch among the prisoners
or fall among the slain?
For all this, his anger has not turned away;
his hand is stretched out still.
5 Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger
the club in their hands is my fury!
6 Against a godless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take spoil and seize plunder,
and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 But this is not what he intends,
nor does he have this in mind;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few.
8 For he says:
Are not my commanders all kings?
9 Is not Calno like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad?
Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols
whose images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols
what I have done to Samaria and her images?
12 When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he* will punish the arrogant boasting of the king of Assyria and his haughty pride.
13For he says:
By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I have removed the boundaries of peoples,
and have plundered their treasures;
like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.
14 My hand has found, like a nest,
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing,
or opened its mouth, or chirped.
15 Shall the axe vaunt itself over the one who wields it,
or the saw magnify itself against the one who handles it?
As if a rod should raise the one who lifts it up,
or as if a staff should lift the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore the Sovereign, the Lord of hosts,
will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors,
and under his glory a burning will be kindled,
like the burning of fire.
17 The light of Israel will become a fire,
and his Holy One a flame;
and it will burn and devour
his thorns and briers in one day.
18 The glory of his forest and his fruitful land
the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,
and it will be as when an invalid wastes away.
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few
that a child can write them down.
20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on the one who struck them, but will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22For though your people Israel were like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in all the earth.*
24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: O my people, who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they beat you with a rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did.
25For in a very little while my indignation will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.
26The Lord of hosts will wield a whip against them, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb; his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt.
27On that day his burden will be removed from your shoulder, and his yoke will be destroyed from your neck.
He has gone up from Rimmon,*
28 he has come to Aiath;
he has passed through Migron,
at Michmash he stores his baggage;
29 they have crossed over the pass,
at Geba they lodge for the night;
Ramah trembles,
Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Cry aloud, O daughter Gallim!
Listen, O Laishah!
Answer her, O Anathoth!
31 Madmenah is in flight,
the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 This very day he will halt at Nob,
he will shake his fist
at the mount of daughter Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Look, the Sovereign, the Lord of hosts,
will lop the boughs with terrifying power;
the tallest trees will be cut down,
and the lofty will be brought low.
34 He will hack down the thickets of the forest with an axe,
and Lebanon with its majestic trees* will fall.

Ready-made interactivity with AMP components
Important: this documentation is not applicable to your currently selected format email!
This guide outlines interactive possibilities available in the AMP component library. The library provides ready-made elements that meet common and uncommon user interface needs. You are able to customize these components, and how they interact with users, to meet specific needs. Read-on to learn how to harness this to decrease initial build costs without losing adaptability.
Ready-made interactive components
Many of the available components fulfill a single purpose of interactivity. Most can standalone, but a core principle of AMP is composability. Composability allows you to combine different AMP components together to implement a customized interaction. Most allow templating with amp-mustache.
AMP offers the following ready-made interactive components:
- amp-accordion: a stacked list of headers that collapse or expand content sections with user interaction.
- amp-app-banner: A wrapper and minimal UI for a cross-platform, fixed-position banner showing a call-to-action to install an app.
- amp-autocomplete: suggests completed results corresponding to the user input as they type.
- amp-base-carousel: displays multiple similar pieces of content along a horizontal axis or vertical axis.
- amp-carousel: displays multiple pieces of content along a horizontal axis that users can tap through.
- amp-consent: a UI control that collects and stores a user's consent. Can block other AMP components based on user consent.
- amp-date-picker: a widget to select dates.
- amp-form: creates forms, but with AMP powers.
- amp-lightbox-gallery: displays images in a lightbox gallery.
- amp-image-lightbox: Provides a lightbox effect for a specified image.
- amp-image-slider: A slider to compare two images.
- amp-inline-gallery: displays multiple images along a horizontal axis that users can tap through.
- amp-inputmask: provides input masking capabilities to inputs in AMP forms.
- amp-lightbox: displays elements in a full-viewport "lightbox" modal.
- amp-mega-menu: Displays top-level navigational content inside expandable containers.
- amp-nested-menu: Displays a drilldown menu with arbitrary levels of nested submenus.
- amp-recaptcha-input: appends a reCAPTCHA v3 token to AMP form submissions.
- amp-sidebar: a way to display meta content intended for temporary access such as navigation, links, buttons, menus.
- amp-truncate-text: Truncates text with an ellipsis, optionally showing an overflow element.
- amp-user-notification: Displays a dismissable notification to the user.
- amp-video: Replaces the HTML5 video tag.
- amp-video-docking: unctionality for videos that minimize ("dock") to a corner or a custom position on scroll.
Implementation patterns
Using an AMP component may be as easy copy and pasting the sample code! If not, you are able to specify functionality. Each component's reference documentation outlines behavior and styling customization.
If you are unable to find a ready-made solution, think about how you could achieve the desired behavior by combining existing components. Combine multiple components or other HTML elements to create new ones! The AMP team is constantly surprised with the creative solutions developers have composed, some are featured in our examples (and if you create something cool we encourage you to contribute it!). It's impossible to document all the ways to combine AMP components, but this section outlines some best practices.
Customize behavior with attributes
By using common AMP attributes and element-specific attributes you can customize and combine components to fit your needs. Read the reference documentation to learn its specific attributes.
Small behavior change
Some attributes will change a small behavior. In the example below, the amp-accordion
includes the animate
attribute. This attribute adds a slight "roll down" animation to the expansion and collapse of each section when the user interacts with it.
<amp-accordion animate>

Content in section 1.

Section 2

Section 3

Combination and composition
Combine AMP components with other AMP components or HTML elements to improve or build more complex interactivity and user experiences. For example, combine amp-form
and amp-date-picker
to create a booking flow.
<form method="post" action-xhr="/documentation/examples/api/submit-form-xhr" target="_top">
<amp-date-picker id="form-picker" type="single" mode="static" layout="fixed-height" height="360" format="YYYY-MM-DD">
<input type="submit">

There are no limits on the number of components you may combine. The example below builds on the previous one. We've added amp-inputmask
to communicate the type of input accepted from a user and amp-mustache
to relay a success message.
<form class="sample-form" method="post" action-xhr="/documentation/examples/api/postal" target="_top">
<amp-date-picker id="form-picker" type="single" mode="static" layout="fixed-height" height="360" format="YYYY-MM-DD">
Phone: <input name="code" type="tel" mask="+\1_(000)_000-0000" placeholder="+1 (555) 555-5555" mask-output="alphanumeric">
<input type="submit">

<template type="amp-mustache">

The raw value: {{code}}

The unmasked value: {{code-unmasked}}

The components listed at the beginning of the guides are a great way to get started with AMP. Familiarizing with these helps you get an overview of the different building blocks AMP provides.
Actions and events
As outlined in Interactivity foundations, AMP exposes globally available actions and events. Many of AMP's components have their own component specific actions and events, made available by use of that component. AMP's action and event system is a powerful way to implement more complex interaction patterns. In the example below we open a lightbox on a successful form submission.
<form on="submit-success:amp-lightbox-gallery.open(id='squirrel')" method="post" action-xhr="/documentation/examples/api/postal" target="_top">
Postal code: <input name="code" mask="L0L_0L0" placeholder="A1A 1A1">
<input type="submit">

<amp-img src="/static/inline-examples/images/squirrel.jpg" width="320" height="256" lightbox id="squirrel" alt="Photo of a squirrel"></amp-img>
Check out the actions and events overview page to learn more about the different kinds of actions and events available in AMP.
Define reusable actions
If you are chaining multiple actions, you can define them together as a single and reusable action. Use the amp-action-macro component to create AMP action macros. Each action macro needs an id and an action to execute. Call the action macro by it's id and pass the arguments that alter its behavior.

User Test Results
"Traditional Managers" are often attached to tradition and are comfortable enforcing established rules and procedures. They make excellent managers and corporate officers. Their personalities make them comfortable organizing people to work in the most logical, efficient ways and they tend to seek out like-minded individuals. Birthdays, holidays and other annual celebrations are of great importance to "Traditional Managers." Civic and church groups often play an important role in their lives. Reunions and funerals are attended if at all possible. Decisiveness is a well-developed trait of this personality style. They aren't afraid to stand up, take charge, and make the tough calls. This ability stems from their having an arsenal of past experience, data and authoritative sources on which to rely. This armory is often a valuable asset in the world of business and when they are asked to carry out a task entrusted to them by others. If you ask these people to do something, it is done in a no-nonsense, matter-of-fact manner. They are usually appreciated by upper management or owners of businesses -- if they don't own the business themselves - and are counted on to come through in difficult situations. "Traditional Managers" are practical and bottom line oriented, so they can become impatient with those who don't follow established procedures or who don't pay attention to details. However, sometimes their need to complete a task can cause them to rush into action without first gathering all of the pertinent information. They are likely to be outspoken with their opinions, unafraid to tell the world "what's what" and "how it is." Once they've made up their minds about something it's nearly set in stone and they sometimes appear to run over people when in pursuit of their own goals.

The Blizzard of 1888
The Blizzard Of 1888: March 11–March 14, 1888
by Borgna Brunner
Today's Weather Fact |
The most famous snowstorm in American history, the Blizzard of 1888, has acquired an almost legendary status. Although there have been many heavier snowfalls as well as significantly lower temperatures, the blizzard's combination of inclement conditions has been unmatched in more than a century.
The U.S. Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm with winds of more than 35 miles an hour and snow that limits visibility to 500 feet or less. A severe blizzard is defined as having winds exceeding 45 miles an hour, visibility of a quarter mile or less, and temperatures of 10 degrees F or lower.
The "Great White Hurricane," as it was called, paralyzed the East Coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine. Telegraph and telephone wires snapped, isolating New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington for days. Two hundred ships were grounded, and at least one hundred seamen died. Fire stations were immobilized, and property loss from fire alone was estimated at $25 million. Overall, more than 400 deaths were reported.
The days leading up to the blizzard were unseasonably mild, with temperatures in the 40s and 50s along the East Coast. Torrential rains began falling, and on March 12th the rain changed to heavy snow, temperatures plunged, and a ferocious wind began. The storm continued unabated for the next 36 hours. Sources vary, but National Weather service estimated that fifty inches of snow fell in Connecticut and Massachusetts and forty inches covered New York and New Jersey. Winds blew up to 48 miles an hour, creating snowdrifts forty to fifty feet high. The resulting transportation crisis led to the creation of the New York subway, approved in 1894 and begun in 1900.
Other notable blizzards: Armistice Day Storm(November 11–12, 1940), The Great Midwest Blizzard (January 26–27, 1967), Blizzard of 1978 (February 6–7, 1978), Superstorm of 1993—also dubbed the "Storm of the Century" (March 12–13, 1993); Blizzard of 1996 (January 7, 1996); Groundhog Day Blizzard (February 1–3, 2011).
