If you are without Adobe flash, this animation is missing.
Do you remember once, in Paris of glad faces, The night we wandered off under the third moon's rays And, leaving far behind bright streets and busy places, Stood where the Seine flowed down between its quiet quais?
The city's voice was hushed; the placid, lustrous waters Mirrored the walls across where orange windows burned. Out of the starry south provoking rumors brought us Far promise of the spring already northward turned.
And breast drew near to breast, and round its soft desire My arm uncertain stole and clung there unrepelled. I thought that nevermore my heart would hover nigher To the last flower of bliss that Nature's garden held.
There, in your beauty's sweet abandonment to pleasure, The mute, half-open lips and tender, wondering eyes, I saw embodied first smile back on me the treasure Long sought across the seas and back of summer skies.
Dear face, when courted Death shall claim my limbs and find them Laid in some desert place, alone or where the tides Of war's tumultuous waves on the wet sands behind them Leave rifts of gasping life when their red flood subsides,
Out of the past's remote delirious abysses Shine forth once more as then you shone, -- beloved head, Laid back in ecstasy between our blinding kisses, Transfigured with the bliss of being so coveted.
And my sick arms will part, and though hot fever sear it, My mouth will curve again with the old, tender flame. And darkness will come down, still finding in my spirit The dream of your brief love, and on my lips your name.
You loved me on that moonlit night long since. You were my queen and I the charming prince Elected from a world of mortal men. You loved me once. . . . What pity was it, then, You loved not Love. . . . Deep in the emerald west, Like a returning caravel caressed By breezes that load all the ambient airs With clinging fragrance of the bales it bears From harbors where the caravans come down, I see over the roof-tops of the town The new moon back again, but shall not see The joy that once it had in store for me, Nor know again the voice upon the stair, The little studio in the candle-glare, And all that makes in word and touch and glance The bliss of the first nights of a romance When will to love and be beloved casts out The want to question or the will to doubt. You loved me once. . . . Under the western seas The pale moon settles and the Pleiades. The firelight sinks; outside the night-winds moan -- The hour advances, and I sleep alone.
Farewell, dear heart, enough of vain despairing! If I have erred I plead but one excuse -- The jewel were a lesser joy in wearing That cost a lesser agony to lose.
I had not bid for beautifuller hours Had I not found the door so near unsealed, Nor hoped, had you not filled my arms with flowers, For that one flower that bloomed too far afield.
If I have wept, it was because, forsaken, I felt perhaps more poignantly than some The blank eternity from which we waken And all the blank eternity to come.
And I betrayed how sweet a thing and tender (In the regret with which my lip was curled) Seemed in its tragic, momentary splendor My transit through the beauty of the world.

But aside from these determinants, one factor stands out which may not always be obvious because of it's negative connotation; and that is the good sense to realize one's weaknesses and the willingness to give up and marshal one's resources into a more productive endeavor. Admitting one's weaknesses is understandably an unpleasant task; nobody wants to admit what they are not good at, especially if they have worked at it for years. That kind of attitude does not get you job offers or impress interviewers. Yet being able to admit what qualities you lack can make your life take a radically successful direction. And lest we think that only mere mortals have to go through this painful process of periodic self-evaluation and subsequent betterment, we can be rest assured. It was none other than Linus Pauling who went through this soul-searching. And we are all the wiser for his decision.
When Pauling graduated from Oregon State University in 1922, he had already shown great promise. At that point he had had an excellent overall education in mathematics and physics and compared to his peers in the United States was mathematically quite outstanding. In 1926 he won a Guggenheim fellowship to study in Europe under the tutelage of Arnold Sommerfeld in Munich, with trips to the great centers of physics in Copenhagen, Gottingen and Zurich included as part of the package. There Pauling met the founders of quantum mechanics, almost all of whom were about the same age, and realized that maybe his talents in physics and mathematics were not as great as he thought. There is a story, probably apocryphal, that the famously acerbic Pauli dismissed one of his papers on quantum mechanics with two short words- "Not interesting".

Opening remarks
Opening remarks by Yves Mersch, Member of the Executive Board of the ECB and Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board of the ECB, at the "Getting to know the EU Institutions and Organisations in Luxembourg" event
Luxembourg, 11 November 2019
The press is an important medium for the ECB to communicate and explain our decisions and policies to the wider public. I am happy for today's opportunity to extend the usual exchange with the "ECB watchers" to Brussels-based journalists.
While I will devote most of this session to answering any questions you may have, I want to start by outlining the ECB's role and its functions. I will then briefly touch upon challenges to the European economic outlook that explain the ECB's latest monetary policy measures, before concluding with the priorities for Economic and Monetary Union from the ECB's perspective.
The ECB and its functions
The primary task of the ECB is to maintain price stability, defined by the Governing Council as an inflation rate of "below, but close to, 2% over the medium term".
Maintaining price stability supports sustainable economic growth and helps to create jobs and improve the living standards of euro area citizens.
In addition to defining and implementing the monetary policy for the euro area, we have a number of other tasks under the EU treaties, including promoting the smooth operation of payment systems.
We have an advisory role on European and national legislation in our areas of competence and we are frequently consulted on such legislation. We are also involved in the euro area accession process, preparing regular reports on the progress made towards the Maastricht convergence criteria by the Member States expected to eventually adopt the euro. In addition, we help manage the European exchange rate mechanism and ensure non-euro area Member States can participate smoothly in the banking union should they wish to join.
In 2014, the ECB was tasked with supervising about 120 significant banks in the euro area and it is responsible for the effective and consistent functioning of the Single Supervisory Mechanism as a whole.
To ensure that the ECB acts in the best interest of European citizens, we have strong safeguards in place to verify that we act in accordance with our mandate and that our independence is protected.
With regards to our mandate, we are subject to judicial review by the Court of Justice of the European Union and we are accountable to the European Parliament.
To emphasise our independence, members of the Governing Council are seated in alphabetical order by surname, rather than by nationality, showing that ECB decision-makers act in the interest of the euro area as a whole, rather than in their national interest, when deciding on monetary policy.
And the rationale of the latest of these monetary policy decisions is what I want to turn to next.
The euro area economic outlook and the ECB's response
Since the beginning of this year, euro area growth momentum has slowed markedly, by more than we had previously anticipated. The September ECB staff projections expect the euro area economy to grow by just 1.1% in 2019, 0.6 percentage points less than estimated in the December 2018 staff projections, and by 1.2% in 2020, down by 0.5 percentage points from the December projections.
This slowdown is mainly due to the weakness of international trade in an environment of persistent uncertainties related to protectionist policies and geopolitical factors. These factors are increasingly weighing on economic sentiment and, in particular, on the manufacturing sector.
Accordingly, countries which have a relatively large manufacturing sector are more exposed to the current slowdown, with Germany a case in point.
The longer the weakness in manufacturing persists, the greater the risk that other sectors of the economy will be affected by the slowdown as well. Risks to the growth outlook remain on the downside overall.
Headline inflation remains well below 2%, while inflation excluding the more volatile food and energy components has been hovering around 1% for an extended period of time. This indicates that the weaker economic outlook may imply a delay in the pass-through of wages to prices. Firms are absorbing increases in labour costs in their profit margins rather than passing them on to customers. Meanwhile, indicators of inflation expectations are at low levels. Although the likelihood of deflation remains limited, market expectations of inflation over the medium term are settling around values that are not consistent with our inflation aim.
Inflation is currently expected to average 1.2% in 2019, 1.0% in 2020 and 1.5% in 2021, which is well below the Governing Council's medium-term aim of below, but close to, 2%.
So when the Governing Council met in mid-September to decide on monetary policy, it was confronted with a more rapid and extended slowdown than previously anticipated, persistent and prominent downside risks to the growth outlook, and a further delay in the convergence of inflation towards the ECB's aim.
The Governing Council decided on a comprehensive package of measures with a view to ensuring that inflation moves towards the ECB's aim in a sustained manner.
- The interest rate on the deposit facility was lowered from -0.40% to -0.50%. Lowering the deposit facility rate helps to further improve the borrowing conditions of households and businesses. Negative rates also encourage banks to lend to the real economy instead of holding onto liquidity.
- The forward guidance on the likely future direction of the ECB's monetary policy was strengthened. Specifically, it clarified that the ECB expects its policy rates to stay "at their present or lower levels until we have seen the inflation outlook robustly converge to a level sufficiently close to, but below, 2% within our projection horizon, and such convergence has been consistently reflected in underlying inflation dynamics". By reassuring markets that policy rates will stay "at their present or lower levels" until there has been an improvement in the inflation outlook, the ECB reinforced the impact of the cut in the deposit facility rate.
- The Governing Council further decided to restart net asset purchases at a monthly pace of €20 billion from November onwards. These purchases are expected to run for as long as necessary to reinforce the accommodative impact of the ECB's policy rates, and to end shortly before the ECB starts raising its key interest rates. This is in addition to the reinvestment of the sizeable stock of assets the ECB has already purchased under the asset purchase programme.
- The modalities of the new series of targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTRO III) were eased. Banks can now obtain this long-term funding at lower rates with a longer maturity. This should also help to ensure that the ECB's accommodative policies pass through entirely to the funding costs of households and firms.
- Finally, the Governing Council announced a two-tier system for reserve remuneration, in which part of banks' excess reserves held with the ECB will be exempt from negative rates. The two-tier system is designed to strike a balance between preserving the incentives for banks to pass through the stimulus generated by the negative interest rate on their reserves, and mitigating the adverse effects that these negative rates might have on banks' lending behaviour by affecting their profitability. The new two-tier system will make sure that banks' ability to extend loans to their customers at favourable terms remains unimpaired.
The different elements of this comprehensive package will together support favourable financing conditions for businesses and households, which will sustain investment and consumption. Greater business and household expenditure will, in turn, support inflation dynamics and make sure that they durably converge to the ECB's aim.
Priorities for the ECB and Economic and Monetary Union
The conventional and unconventional measures the ECB has taken over the past decade have been successful in addressing deflationary risks, restoring the functioning of the monetary policy transmission mechanism and providing vital support to the euro area economy.
But the ECB does not operate in a vacuum and other economic policies matter too. A better policy mix, including fiscal policy, structural reforms and prudential measures, can help achieve this objective faster and with fewer side effects.
In other words, we need a coherent economic strategy in the euro area that complements and enhances the effectiveness of monetary policy.
This is why there was unanimity in the Governing Council that fiscal policy must make a more decisive contribution. In view of the weakening economic outlook and the continued prominence of downside risks, governments with fiscal space that are facing a slowdown should act in an effective and timely manner. As long as fiscal sustainability is ensured, countercyclical fiscal policy could be very effective in the current environment, given that fiscal multipliers are higher when interest rates are low. At the same time, governments in countries with high public debt should pursue prudent policies and deliver on structural balance targets.
In addition to better national policies, work on completing the architecture of Economic and Monetary Union needs to continue. In the short term, projects that are already under way must be completed, such as making the backstop to the Single Resolution Fund operational, finishing the reform of the European Stability Mechanism and passing legislation for the Budgetary Instrument for Competitiveness and Convergence before the next multiannual financial framework.
Beyond these steps, advancing the banking union and capital markets union has become even more urgent in view of Brexit, as Europe needs to avoid capital market fragmentation.
Progress requires the removal of the remaining barriers to the free flow of capital and liquidity across borders and banking groups. A more integrated single market for financial services can make a decisive contribution to private risk-sharing and the absorption of shocks through cross-border holdings of investments.
In the long run, work on a European deposit insurance mechanism needs to continue, combined with action on a host of legislative files, from the forthcoming updates of the banking packages – the Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive and the Banking Resolution and Recovery Directive (CRR III/CRD VII/BRRD III) – to the review of the fiscal and economic rules – known as the two-pack and six-pack – which is scheduled for the end of this year.
Recent experience shows that policy answers need to evolve in line with the challenges of the time and that all policy areas need to contribute. Within their mandates, central banks will continue to take policy challenges into account to ensure their measures are effective.
The press plays an important role in informing the public about the ECB's measures and critically challenging its decisions. In my view, this dialogue with you, the press, supports the effectiveness of the ECB's measures. So let's start this dialogue here and now.

Marija Mandic
I believe in Big Love.
I talk and I date like I don't.
I don't have frivolous expectations for romance. I'm not looking to get swept off my feet. I am one of those rare, perhaps slightly jaded individuals who actually likes hookup culture and is happy to live in an age in which monogamy is not necessarily the norm.
But I believe in big love because I've had it.
I've had that massive love. That all-consuming love. That 'I can't believe this exists in the physical realm of this planet' kind of love.
The kind of love that erupts into an uncontrollable blaze an then simmers down to embers and burns quietly, comfortably, for years. The kind of love they write novels and symphonies about. The kind of love that teaches more than you thought you could ever learn, and gives back infinitely more than it takes.
It is the 'Love of your life' kind of love.
And believe it works like this:
If you're lucky, you get to meet the love of your life. You get to be with them, to learn from them, to give the whole of yourself over to them and allow their influence to change you in unfathomable measures. It's an experience like nothing else we have on this earth.
But here is what the fairytales won't tell you – sometimes we meet the loves of our lives, but we do not get to keep them.
We do not get to marry them, to pass our years alongside them, to hold their hands on their deathbeds after a life lived well and together.
We do not always get to hold onto the loves of our lives, because in the real world, love doesn't conquer all. It doesn't resolve irreparable differences, it doesn't triumph over illness and disease, it doesn't bridge religious rifts or save us from ourselves when we're corrupting.
We don't always get to hold onto the loves of our lives because sometimes love is not all that there is. Sometimes you want a tiny country home with three kids and they want a bustling career in the city. Sometimes you have a whole, wide world to go explore and they are scared to venture out of their backyard. Sometimes you have bigger dreams than one another.
Sometimes the biggest, most loving move you can possibly make is to let each other go.
Other times you don't get a choice.
But here's another thing they won't tell you about finding the love of your life: not ending up with them doesn't disqualify their significance.
Some people can love you more in a year than others could love you in fifty. Some people can teach you more within a single day than others could teach you over the entire course of a lifetime.
Some people come into our lives only for a particular period of time, but make an impact that no one else can ever quite match or replace.
And who are we to call those people anything but the loves of our lives?
Who are we to downplay their significance, to rewrite their memories, to alter the ways in which they changed us for the better, simply because our paths diverged? Who are we to decide that we desperately need to replace them – to find a bigger, better, stronger, more passionate love that we can hold onto for a lifetime?
Maybe we just ought to be grateful that we got to meet these people at all.
That we got to love them. That we got to learn from them. That we got to have our lives expand and flourish as a result of having known them.
Meeting and letting go of the love of your life doesn't have to be your life's single greatest tragedy.
If you let it, it can be your greatest blessing.
After all, some people never get to meet them at all.

Gram stain
Urethral discharge - Gram stain; Feces - Gram stain; Stool - Gram stain; Joint fluid - Gram stain; Pericardial fluid - Gram stain; Gram stain of urethral discharge; Gram stain of the cervix; Pleural fluid - Gram stain; Sputum - Gram stain; Skin lesion - Gram stain; Gram stain of skin lesion; Gram stain of tissue biopsy
A Gram stain is a test used to identify bacteria. It is one of the most common ways to quickly diagnose bacterial infection in the body.
How the Test is Performed
How the test is performed depends on what tissue or fluid from your body is being tested. The test may be quite simple, or you may need to prepare ahead of time.
- You may need to provide a sputum, urine, or stool sample.
- Your health care provider may use a needle to take fluid from your body to test. This could be from a joint, from the sac around your heart, or from the space around your lungs.
- Your provider may need to take a tissue sample, such as from your cervix or skin.
The sample is sent to a laboratory.
- A small amount is spread in a very thin layer on a glass slide. This is called a smear.
- A series of stains are added to the sample.
- A lab team member examines the stained smear under the microscope, looking for bacteria.
- The color, size, and shape of the cells help identify the specific type of bacteria.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your provider will tell you what to do to prepare for the test. For some types of tests, you will not need to do anything.
How the Test will Feel
How the test will feel depends on the method used to take a sample. You may not feel anything, or you may feel pressure and mild pain, such as during a biopsy. You may be given some form of pain medicine so you have little or no pain.
Why the Test is Performed
You may have this test to diagnose an infection caused by bacteria. It can also identify the type of bacteria causing the infection.
This test can help find the cause of various health problems, including:
- Intestinal infection or illness
- Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
- Unexplained swelling or joint pain
- Signs of a heart infection or fluid buildup in the thin sac that surrounds the heart (pericardium)
- Signs of infection of the space around the lungs (pleural space)
- Cough that will not go away, or if you are coughing up material with a foul odor or odd color
- Infected skin sore
A normal result means that no bacteria or only "friendly" bacteria were found. Some types of bacteria normally live in certain areas of the body, such as the intestines. Bacteria normally don't live in other areas, such as the brain or spinal fluid.
Talk to your provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may indicate an infection. You will need further tests, such as a culture, to find out more about the infection.
Your risks depend on the method used to remove tissue or fluid from your body. You may have no risk at all. Other risks are rare, but may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Heart or lung puncture
- Collapsed lung
- Breathing problems
- Scarring

Why This World A Biography of Clarice Lispector by Benjamin Moser (2009)
Thursday, July 30, 2015
"Night Crimes" by Emmanuel Bove (From the collection Henry Duchemin and his Shadow) For Paris in July # 6
Emmanuel Bove was one of the most original writers to come out of twentieth-century France and a popular success in his day. Discovered by Colette, who arranged for the publication of his first novel, My Friends, Bove enjoyed a busy literary career, until the German occupation silenced him. During his lifetime, Bove's novels and stories were admired by Rainer Maria Rilke, the surrealists, Albert Camus, and Samuel Beckett, who said of him that "more than anyone else he has an instinct for the essential detail."

"The Other Wife" by Colette (1932). - A Post for Paris in July # 6
"The day Colette (1873-1954) died, the worst thunderstorm in sixty-seven years hit Paris. Her last conscious act was to gesture toward the lightning and cry out, "Look! Look!" The words suggest the essence of her genius.
At eighty-one Colette was a legendary figure. A Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, president of the Goncourt Academy, she would, to crown her career, receive a state funeral—unexampled honors for a French woman. A veteran of three marriages (the last a happy one), music hall performer, journalist, autobiographer, novelist, short story writer, deeply versed in the natural world of plants, flowers and animals, a connoisseur of more than a single variety of love, in the best sense a woman of the world, she ranked as one of the most vivid personalities of her time. During the final years of a long, crowded life, unable to stir from her Palais-Royal apartment, she reigned, surrounded by her beloved cats, as an object of wonder and pilgrimage.
Few have treated more revealingly at least one great theme, that of sexual love. She was most comfortable with the novella (Chéri, La Fin de Chéri, Gigi, Mitsou), but she excelled also in a kind of post-Maupassant short story, tender, sensual, witty, completely French, completely feminine.
"The Other Wife" is a deft, wry trifle, a small triumph of observation ("Look! Look!"). As with an O. Henry story, everything erupts in the last few words, indeed in the very last word. But her sensibility works on a plane quite different from his."
—Clifton Fadiman

The WEEB-9.5 is used for bonding modules to ground and pole mount systems. The WEEBLug provides a connection to the mounting system and has lay-in provision for an equipment ground conductor.
The remaining products are used for rail mount systems. For brevity we use WEEB-xMC to refer to any of the rail parts. The following list shows which part is used for each rail manufacturer.
All six products have been tested according to UL467 and are listed with Intertek, a National Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). The products use patent pending technology for bonding anodized aluminum surfaces together. Bonding PV modules to a mounting structure removes the need to wire the modules separately: just the mounting structure needs to be wired to ground.
The WEEB-9.5 is a washer used to bond the frame of a PV module to a pole or ground mounting structure. The WEEB-9.5 has fingers which will hold the part in any 3/8 inch hole. This allows the WEEB-9.5 to be inserted at the mounting locations and stays in place while the module is aligned. When the hardware is tightened, specially designed teeth on the WEEB-9.5 embed into the module and mounting structure, making a gas-tight connection.
A variant part, the WEEB-9.5NL, does not have the fingers. This allows the part to be used to join structural pieces of a mounting structure where only a single fastener is used and allows bolts up to 3/8 inch in diameter. The fingers are not needed because it is relatively easy to assemble a single fastener with the WEEB, while for the case with modules, the large size of the module would make it difficult to position both the module and the WEEB. See the installation instructions for detailed pictures.
The WEEB-xMC(s) are used for rail-mounted modules. Retaining features keep the parts on the rail while still allowing them to be correctly positioned beneath the modules.
Rounding out the product family is the WEEBLug, a two piece set of washer plus lug. The washer has specialized teeth for making connection through an anodized aluminum surface. The lug allows the lay-in connection of wire after the lug has been mounted.
In order to meet the UL467 specification, two WEEBs must contact each PV module. For the WEEB-9.5, that means two parts are needed for each module installed. For the WEEB-xMC parts, since each part contacts two modules, two WEEB-xMC are required per PAIR* of modules installed. (*two additional WEEB-xMC required for end module in odd-number rows)
For the WEEB-9.5NL, make sure two parts are in each conduction path. For example, on a pole mount, each module rail (the structural pieces to which the modules mount) is in turn mounted at two points to a cross-bar. One WEEB-9.5NL should be used at each of the points where the module rail mounts to the cross-bar.
Read on to find out about how the WEEB works.

Mermaid art is the mermaid as icon, symbol and dream...
Ariel is a certified Disney Princess, her DVDs have sold millions of copies and she still appears on the Disney Channel and Disney Junior.
There is a Barbie mermaid figure, Dora the explorer has actually been a mermaid, there is mermaid anime (some are horror stories) and mermaids appear regularly in movies, on TV and cable. You can find them on prints and posters, there are dolls, figurines and statues. They are on clothing items such as T-shirts, purses, skirts and even bedding.
She is a sex symbol. Even women sees her as beautiful and sensual. The mermaid is a powerful symbol of strength and femininity. There is nothing sexist or demeaning in this. These are some of the mermaid's strongest qualities: her freedom and her confidence.
In the book "The Mermaid Chair" by Sue Monk Kidd, the protagonist begins to paint pictures of herself as a mermaid. Her pictures help her to get a better hold on the under-developed parts of her character.
For me, this type of art connects to something mystical in the human psyche. I remember once many years ago I had spent a day alone at the shore. When the sun set I went to a seafood restaurant on the bay. After the meal, I was going back to my car when I heard a splashing sound like someone coming out of the water...
Immediately, an image flashed into my mind. I saw a mermaid just off shore, wrapped in her beauty and mystery. The feeling was caught up with the day I had spent, the night, and the bright lights at sea. I had a very strong sensation of someone actually being there.
This powerful experience stayed with me for months only gradually fading away. The emotions I had then re-occur almost every time I am at the shore.
I invite you to enter this site, read the stories and look at the pictures. You will see what mermaids mean to me, what they mean to others, and perhaps what they mean to you.
A Friendly Warning
Some of the art in this site contains nudity, hopefully always in good taste. This is inevitable given the subject matter. If it will bother you then all you have to do is avoid the galleries. There are plenty of stories and lots of information about mermaids in the rest of the site.
Enough talk already! If you want to jump right to the galleries and see some mermaid art you can click on any of the following links. The art galleries are interlinked so you can move from one to the other without returning to this page or the list of all galleries. To go to the list of all galleries just click "Galleries" on the navbar on any page, or click "All Galleries" below.

A. Periodic Checking Cooling fan and ventilation channel should be cleaned regularly to check it is clear; remove any dust accumulated in the inverter on a regular basis. Check inverter's input and output wiring and wiring terminals regularly and check if wirings are ageing. Check whether screws on each terminal are fastened.
B Storage Store the inverter in the original packing case. If the inverter is stored for a long time, power the inverter at minimum intervals of 6 months to prevent the electrolytic capacitors being damaged. The inverter should be powered up for longer than 5 hours. If the inverter is stored for longer than 18 months without powering it up, the capacitors will have to be reformed or damage may occur to the inverter when power is applied.
C Daily Maintenance Environment temperature, humidity, dust and vibration would decrease the life of inverter. Daily maintenance is necessary to inverters. Daily inspecting: Inspect the motor for unusual noise when it is operating. Inspect for abnormal vibration of the motor when it is operating. Inspect the environmental operating conditions of the inverter. Inspect for proper operation of the fan and inverter temperature.
Daily cleaning: Keep the inverter clean. Clean surface dust of inverter to prevent dust, metal powder, oily dirt and water from dropping into the inverter.

Philip II of Moscow
Our father among the saints hieromartyr Philip II of Moscow (+ 1569) was one of a few Metropolitans of Moscow (1566-1568) who dared to openly contradict lay authorities. His memory is celebrated three times a year: on January 9, on July 3 (translation of his relics), and on October 5 (Synaxis of the Hierarchs of Moscow).
He was born, in the year 1507, Theodore Stephanovich Kolychev into one of the noblest boyar families of Muscovy, in the city of Galich (in present-day Kostroma Oblast). The Moscow Great Prince Basil III, the father of Ivan the Terrible, brought young Theodore into the court, but he was not attracted to court life. Conscious of its vanity and sinfulness, Theodore all the more deeply immersed himself in the reading of books and visiting the churches of God.
It is said that since childhood he was on friendly terms with Ivan IV of Russia, but the young prince's sincere devotion to him, promising him a great future in government service, could not deter Theodore from seeking the Heavenly City. Theodore felt intensely in his soul the words of the Savior: "No man can serve two masters" (Mt. 6:24). Praying fervently to the Moscow wonderworkers, and without bidding farewell to his relatives, he secretly left Moscow, and for a while he hid himself away from the world in the village of Khizna, near Lake Onega, earning his livelihood as a shepherd.
(According to other accounts, he was involved in the conspiracy of Prince Andrey of Staritsa against Elena Glinskaya and, when their plans were discovered, escaped to a monastery).
His thirst for ascetic deeds led him to the renowned Solovetsky Monastery on the White Sea, in 1538. There he fulfilled very difficult obediences: he chopped firewood, dug the ground, and worked in the mill. After a year and a half of testing, the igumen Alexis tonsured him, giving him the monastic name Philip and entrusting him in obedience to the Elder Jonah Shamina, a converser with St Alexander of Svir (August 30).
Eleven years later, Philip himself was made igumen of the monastery. During his term in office, they constructed two cathedrals, a brick-yard, many water mills and storehouses, and a network of canals connecting 72 lakes. It is said that Philip took part in all these toils together with other monks. Most of Philip's projects in Solovetsky survive to this day. The monastery experienced a spiritual revival. A new monastic rule was adopted to regulate life at the monastery.
St Philip often withdrew to a desolate wilderness spot for quiet prayer, which was later known as the Philippov wilderness.
In Moscow, Tsar Ivan the Terrible heard about the indefatigable monk and fondly remembered the Solovetsky hermit from childhood. The tsar asked him to fill the vacant metropolitan see in Moscow. For a long time the saint refused to assume the great burden of the primacy of the Russian Church. He did not sense any spiritual affinity with Ivan. Finally, Philip agreed on the condition that Ivan would abolish the Oprichnina (secret police). In recompense, he promised not to meddle with the tsar's domestic affairs. On June 25, 1566, Philip was enthroned as Metropolitan of Moscow and all Russia.
After a short interlude, however, Ivan the Terrible persisted with committing murders under the aegis of Oprichnina. Ivan saw the Oprichnina as a form of a monastic brotherhood, serving God with weapons and military deeds. The Oprichniki were required to dress in monastic garb and attend long and tiring church services, lasting from 4 to 10 o'clock in the morning. From church they went to the trapeza, and while the Oprichniki ate, the tsar stood beside them. The Oprichniki gathered leftover food from the table and distributed it to the poor at the doorway of the trapeza. The pseudo-monasticism of Ivan the Terrible, a most grievous oppression over Russia, tormented St Philip, who considered it impossible to mix the earthly and the heavenly, serving both the Cross and the sword.
After the metropolitan publicly refused to bless Ivan's massacre of Novgorod, he was arrested during a liturgy at the Cathedral of Dormition and immured at the Otroch Monastery of Tver. In November 1568, the tsar summoned the Holy Synod, which had Philip deposed.
A year later, he was strangled by the tsar's minion, Malyuta Skuratov. As if aware of his approaching death, Philip had asked to receive communion three days earlier. At first, his relics were committed to the earth there at the monastery, beyond the church altar. Later, they were transferred to the Solovetsky Monastery (on August 11, 1591) and from there to Moscow (July 3, 1652). In 1652, Patriarch Nikon persuaded Tsar Alexis to bring his relics to Moscow, where he was proclaimed a saint later that year.
Initially, the memory of St Philip was celebrated by the Russian Church on December 23, the day of his martyric death. In 1660, the celebration was transferred to January 9.

The Food and Drug Administration released a detailed analysis Tuesday morning of the COVID-19 vaccine from drugmaker Moderna that supports the authorization of the company's vaccine for emergency use.
The FDA's briefing document along with one from Moderna were posted two days before a group of experts will convene to advise the agency on whether to grant the vaccine emergency authorization for use, or EUA, during the pandemic.
The agency's analysis finds the vaccine has a "favorable safety profile" and that there are "no specific safety concerns identified that would preclude issuance of an EUA." Serious reactions were rare. Side effects are common, however, with a majority of study volunteers experiencing pain at the site of injection, fatigue and headaches.
The agency's analysis also affirms the effectiveness of the vaccine. It is 94% overall, assessed at least two weeks after the second dose of vaccine, in the final analysis. An interim analysis put it at 95%. The vaccine shots are given 28 days apart.
The vaccine is less effective in older people, the FDA analysis finds. For people ages 18 to less than 65, the effectiveness is 96%, compared with 86% for people 65 and older.
On Thursday, the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, an advisory group, will discuss the vaccine in an open public meeting.
Last Thursday, Dec. 10, the same committee voted 17-4, with one abstention, in favor of emergency authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for use during the pandemic. The Pfizer vaccine, developed in partnership with German drugmaker BioNTech, was given the OK for use for people 16 and older.
The FDA will ask the experts to assess whether the available scientific evidence supports the proposed emergency use of the Moderna vaccine. The FDA will also ask the experts to weigh in on what studies should be done by the companies to further characterize the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine after it is available under an EUA.
Immunizations with the Pfizer vaccine began Monday. Distribution of the vaccine is complicated by its need to be kept extremely cold: minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.
For shipping and storage, Moderna's vaccine needs to be frozen, too, but at minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit — more like a regular home freezer. Once the vaccine is thawed for use, it can be kept at 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of a typical home fridge, for up to 30 days.

After the death of someone loved, you are "torn apart" and have some very unique needs. Among these needs is to nurture yourself in five important areas: physically, emotionally, cognitively, socially, and spiritually. In the coming months, this column will focus on nurturing yourself in the spiritual realm.
When someone we love dies, it is like a deep hole implodes inside of us. It's as if the hole penetrates us and leaves us gasping for air. I have always said we mourn life losses from the inside out. In my experience, it is only when we are spiritually nurtured (inside and outside) that we discover the courage to mourn openly and honestly.
To integrate spiritual practices into your life demands a reminder that:
- Spirituality invites you to slow down and turn inward.
- Spirituality invites you to feel deeply and to believe passionately.
- Spirituality invites you to get to know your authentic self.
- Spirituality invites you to celebrate diversity.
- Spirituality invites you to be open to the mystery.
To practice spiritual self-care doesn't mean you are feeling sorry for yourself. Rather, it means you are allowing yourself to have the courage to pay attention to your special needs. For it is in spiritually nurturing ourselves, in allowing ourselves the time and loving attention we need to journey through our grief, that we find meaning in our continued living. That is why, if I could, I would encourage all of us when we are in the midst of grief to put down "Nurture my spirit" first on our daily to-do lists.
The mosaic world we live in
Perhaps you have noticed that our world has gotten much smaller religiously in the last fifty years. Eastern religions and spiritual practices arrived in the United States and Canada a little more than 150 years ago. Then, in the 1960s, we saw books, lectures, and workshops from folks like Thich Nhat Hanh and Ram Dass, who invited us Westerners to explore Eastern spiritual practices. This influx of Eastern traditions and practices created new life to spirituality in North America.
While our differences still define us, our potential to borrow meaningful spiritual practices from each other unites us. The great equalizer—death—invites us to be enriched by learning from each other.
As you read this article, while I encourage you to nurture yourself spiritually, I recognize that spirituality and religiosity are not synonymous. In some people's lives they overlap completely; their religious life is their spiritual life. Other people have a rich spiritual life with few or no ties to an organized religion. Obviously, each of us needs to define our own spirituality in the depths of our own hearts and minds. The paths we choose will be our own, discovered through self-examination, reflection, and spiritual transformation.
My personal journey and the "switch"
When grief and loss have touched my life, I have discovered that my own personal source of spirituality anchors me, allowing me to put my life into perspective. For me, spirituality involves a sense of connection to all things in nature, God, and the world at large.
Someone with some wisdom once observed, "Spirituality is like a switch. Everybody has one; it's just that not everyone has it turned on." Sometimes, experiences of grief and loss can turn off our switch. We are human and sometimes our switches feel stuck, or worse yet, nonexistent. Our "divine spark"—that which gives life meaning and purpose—feels like it has been muted.
My switch is turned on when I live from a desire to see a loving God in the everyday. In the midst of grief, I can still befriend hope, and the most ordinary moment can feed my soul. Spirituality is anchored in faith, which is expecting goodness even in the worst of times. It is not about fear, which is expecting the worst even in the best of times.
Spirituality reminds you to understand that you can and will integrate losses into your life, see the goodness in others, and know that there are many pathways to Heaven.
The openness of a child
If you have doubt about your capacity to connect with God and the world around you, try to approach the world with the openness of a child. Embrace the pleasure that comes from the simple sights, smells, and sounds that greet your senses.
I truly believe that acknowledging your heart is broken is the beginning of your healing. As you experience the pain of your loss—gently opening, acknowledging and allowing—the suffering it has wrought diminishes but never completely vanishes. In fact, the resistance to the pain can potentially be more painful than the pain itself. As difficult as it is, we must relinquish ourselves to the pain of grief. As Helen Keller said, "The only way to the other side is through."
Yet, going through the pain of loss is not in and of itself the goal in our grief journey. Instead, it is rediscovering life in ways that give us reason to get our feet out of bed and to make life matter. I'm certain you realize that the death of someone precious to you is not something you will ever "overcome" or "let go of." The death of someone we have given love to and received love from doesn't call out to be "resolved" or "explained," but to be experienced.
In the months to come, I will share with you a number of spiritual practices that may help you heal your grieving heart. I grew up in a traditional faith community; I watched and learned from a variety of people whose "switches" appeared to be in the on position. I have come to appreciate what some might term more "traditional" practices, as well as some "non-traditional" practices. I have observed the simple yet lovely ways different people connect with the Divine. I have tried to integrate into my daily life those practices that seem to really connect for me.
As you explore the practices in search of those that might be helpful to you in your grief journey, ask yourself: what broadens my perspective and deepens my faith? What brings me some peace and calms my fears? What deepens my connection with other people, to God, to the world, and to my essential self?

Earlier this month, Levi's team held a preview of their Fall 2011 collection at the Thrush Holmes Gallery in Toronto. As an avid Levi's lover, I was really excited to see what's to come in the fall. 5 distinct lines were shown:
Water<Less: Making jeans, and creating various washes of jeans is very water-consuming. Levi's Water<Less jeans reduce water usage by an average of 28% per pair and up to 96% for some styles. Another cool thing about the Water<Less collection is that t-shirts and other articles of clothing are dyed with water which was used in creating the denim! Now that's what I call multi-tasking.
Curve ID: You already know that I am a huge Curve ID convert, and for Fall 2011, the selection of Curve ID jeans is better than ever, with cool zip detailing, more silhouettes, and great new washes.
Commuter: The Commuter collection was hands down one of the coolest I have seen in a while. Designed for a downtown commuter, pieces from this collection are as comfortable as they are innovative, with large jacket pockets, 3M reflectivity, some are even water resistant, dirt repellant, and…wait for it…offer sanitized brand technology. A denim jacket that repels bacteria and can hold a u-lock? Pretty amazing!
Flare: The original flare was born in 1969 as part of Levi's For Gals line, and for Fall 2011, the company is re-introducing the popular silhouette. The orange tab on the back pocket indicates a retro style brought back from the archives. Definitely on my must-buy list for fall.
Taper: For guys, the fall silhouette has an extended rise and a slim, tailored leg, offered in both denim and non-denim fabrics.
My favorite pieces from the lines included a cool denim tunic, retro flares, and the navajo-printed tops, which I could actually use right about now – too bad I'll have to wait until fall to get my hands on them.
More after the jump!

CBN Partners are making a difference sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Find out how.
CBN.com Paul Weimer is a pastor who makes his home in Anchorage, Alaska. Today he's retired, but for many years, Paul traveled to the remote parts of this state to start churches and tell people about God's love.
"I preached my first sermon when I was 18 years old. I felt a real definite call to the North Country," he says. "At that time, a lot of these places had no churches at all -- no Bible preaching churches. So that's what we did – we came to Alaska for that purpose."
Paul could tell you lots of stories about how God has been faithful over the years. But if you step into Paul's study today, you might notice a faded photograph of an old one-engine plane. Ask him about it, and Paul will tell you the amazing story about how his faith once allowed him to "walk on water."
"It was still winter, and all of the lakes that I'd been flying over were still frozen," he recalls. "I was returning to Anchorage and was practicing a new installation on the aircraft."
While crossing the wilderness of the Kenai Peninsula, Paul decided to practice his low-level flight skills along Lake Tustamena, which was still mostly frozen.
"The wheels would hit the ice, and it would bounce and keep flying…but I hit a soft spot and wasn't able to pull out."
Within seconds, the plane began to be swallowed in the slush. Paul had to react quickly to keep that from happening.
"The airplane's engine is heavy, so of course it is nose down and is going to continue to sink. My first thought was to scramble back on the tail and equalize the weight so that the airplane would lay flat."
Fortunately, Paul was able to retrieve the emergency locator beacon from the cockpit, which then sent a signal to the rescue coordination center at Anchorage.
Since most of the state of Alaska isn't reachable by road, there are more private pilots here than any other place in the world. For this reason, there are very standardized procedures for what to do when a pilot goes missing. Now, Paul understood these procedures, and so he knew it would be hours before a rescue was mounted.
"I've been involved in a couple of searches myself for others. Sometimes they can be located in a matter of hours, sometimes it takes days. So you don't know, and the daylight was fading. It was getting towards late in the afternoon.
"The civil air patrol had a plane out searching just before dark. I could see him flying back and forth some distance from me, but he never saw me. So when it got dark then it began to snow. The wind came up…and that increased the ministry.
"I said, 'Well, if God doesn't send help, it's very likely I'll go to heaven tonight -- either by freezing to death or drowning.
"There was a cold wind blowing from the southwest. It was bitter," Paul recalls. "My feet froze and turned as blue as the sky, completely. After awhile you get so exhausted that you go to sleep standing up."
When Dawn Broke, Paul had been standing on the tail of his plane for more than 14 hours. But as the sun rose in the sky, so did his hopes for a rescue…until the fog rolled in.
"You couldn't see for thirty yards. Real thick fog. I prayed and prayed, 'Dear God, take this fog away.' Then the fog lifted, and I saw a helicopter lift off the beach and come directly toward me. I just knew my ordeal was over. I was just elated."
Altogether, Paul endured more than 20 hours stranded on the frigid lake. But it hasn't slowed him down. He won't take credit for his survival, either.
"One of the newspapers called me on the phone for an interview. The interviewer said, 'You must be in remarkable condition.' I said, 'Hey, I've had cancer. I'm getting to be an old man. My condition had nothing to do whatsoever with my survival. It was God that brought me through that.'"
Paul still enjoys flying. "One of these days I'm going to fly without a machine when the Lord comes the second time.
"The world looks at these things with sort of a weird, almost mystic sense. That's not what faith is all about. There's a Person there who is watching over us and looking at us, and He's the one that we need to trust."
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.

The outcome of the presidential election remained in doubt one day after polls closed throughout the United States.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had a slight advantage over President Donald Trump in electoral college votes, but several key swing states had yet to be called.
A candidate needs 270 electoral college votes in order to claim the presidency. As of Wednesday afternoon, Biden had 248 Electoral College votes to Trump's 214.
Just as it did in 2016, the outcome of the race will likely hinge on the results of three states — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. As of Wednesday afternoon, the race in Michigan and Pennsylvania is too close to call. The Associated Press projects Biden will win Wisconsin, and its 10 electoral votes.
Michigan (16 electoral votes) appears poised to offer close to a final count in the hours ahead. However, officials in Pennsylvania have cautioned that due to a high volume of mail-in votes, it may take several days to determine a winner of their 20 electoral votes.
In 2016, Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by about 100,000 combined votes.
During a virtual press conference on Wednesday, the state's chief election official, Meagan Wolfe, said that nearly all jurisdictions have posted initial vote counts. That count will remain unofficial until the election is certified on Dec. 1.
Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement Wednesday that the President plans to request a recount in Wisconsin.
According to Wisconsin law, a candidate can request a recount if the margin of victory is within 1%. Those recounts are held at the county level.
The western swing state of Nevada (six electoral votes) also remained too close to call. Nevada won't resume counting ballots until Thursday morning, and still needs to tally mail ballots received on Election Day. The state expanded mail-in voting for the 2020 election and will also continue to count mail-in ballots for the next week.
Finally, though the majority of votes have been counted in Georgia (16 electoral college votes) and North Carolina (15 votes), the margins remain razor-thin. Trump currently holds narrow leads in both states.
The state of Alaska, whose polls closed at midnight ET, also remains too close to call, but polling has indicated that Trump is favored in the state.
In a virtual press conference on Wednesday morning, Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said her campaign is "on track" to claim the presidency. She said the Biden campaign believes it will prevail in Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada, citing large numbers of outstanding mail-in ballots, which tend to skew Democratic.
Though Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin are yet to be called, should Biden claim those three states, he would reach the threshold of 270 electoral college votes needed to clinch the presidency.
The Biden campaign also decried Trump's decision to falsely declare victory in a White House speech early Wednesday morning. In a statement, Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon called Trump's comments "outrageous, unprecedented and incorrect."

Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Programs in Montana
Mathematics and Statistics graduate programs award various graduate certificates, masters degrees, and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in mathematics, statistics and actuarial science. A graduate degree in math and statistics could help students hone their skills and conduct research in a specific area, from linear algebra and number theory to machine learning and applied data science.
Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Programs: Overview
The primary goal of most Mathematics and Statistics graduate programs is to prepare students to pursue careers in disciplines that make use of mathematical and statistical sciences. Graduates could gain the tools and techniques to compute, communicate and engage in quantitative analysis. These are key skills that might be used to help solve some of today's complex problems in science, engineering and management.1
Admission Requirements
Universities with Mathematics and Statistics graduate programs vary in their admission requirements. Most curricula are intended for those with strong backgrounds in mathematics, although this does not necessarily mean a bachelors degree in math. Applicants to some statistics graduate programs might come from a science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) background, or a background in a quantitative-oriented field such as finance, accounting, business or management.
Some math graduate schools ask for material such as curriculum vitae, transcripts, and letters of recommendations. These letters might best serve you if they are from past instructors who could attest to your mathematical or statistical ability. TOEFL/IELTS test results are required where applicable. GRE scores may also be required in some programs. Check with individual schools for full instructions on the application process.
Types of Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Programs
The diversity of mathematics graduate programs and statistics degrees means there are paths that explore computational methods for use in many fields. These could include math education, demography, health informatics, business analytics, financial crime and more. To find Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Programs that might align with your goals, you could filter your search by category and degree level. Three broad types of programs are as follows.
- Mathematics Graduate Programs

Mathematics Graduate Programs in Montana
Mathematics graduate programs could award either a Master of Arts or Master of Science degree in Math, a PhD in Mathematics, or a Graduate Certificate in Mathematics. Covering a broad field, a degree in mathematics could mean you study modeling, financial mathematics, logic, computing and statistics.
Masters in Mathematics: MA & MS Programs
A Masters in Mathematics program could prepare students in either pure or applied mathematics. Pure mathematics is theoretical, in that it is used to solve problems that arise within the field of mathematics. Applied mathematics is concerned with problems that arise in other areas, such as physics or engineering.
The two main tracks that could be pursued are the Master of Arts in Mathematics and the Master of Science in Mathematics. There may or may not be substantive differences in coursework. This depends on the university and its requirements.
- Master of Arts in Mathematics: In some grad schools, the MA in Mathematics is mostly designed for students who wish to enter a PhD program in Mathematics. A student's program of study for this degree could be narrower than the MS in scope but more intense in content to prepare for a doctorate. Students could take courses in real and complex analysis, and computational mathematics. At the end of their program, students may have a final thesis which might be a precursor to a PhD dissertation.
- Master of Science in Mathematics: The MS in Mathematics program is often more broad in scope and could include courses of both a pure and applied nature. For instance, students might take courses in analysis, algebra, statistics and applied mathematics, along with a series of electives. Because of the number of topics covered, it might be the track of choice for math educators. At the end of their program, students may have to write a thesis, as well as undergo an oral examination.
Graduate Certificates in Mathematics
A Graduate Mathematics Certificate consists of a series of graduate courses focused on a specific area or application of math. These could be planned-out for those who seek the credentials required to teach collegiate courses.
Students might earn a certificate in addition to, or as part of, a masters degree. The classes in a math graduate certificate may build on some prerequisite knowledge and cover linear algebra, advanced calculus, abstract algebra, real analysis, modern geometry and statistics.
PhD in Mathematics Programs
The PhD in Mathematics is a research-focused, terminal degree. Requirements for a PhD could include residency, coursework, exams, teaching practice and a dissertation. Students might take courses in algebra, real and complex analysis, geometry and topology. Further into the program, topics such as number theory, representation theory and algebraic geometry might be explored. After their courses, students often need to successfully pass exams. Upon satisfactory results in exams, a PhD student could be admitted to candidacy for the PhD, and then focuses on research for their dissertation. The dissertation is a body of original scholarly work that is orally defended by the student for review and evaluation by the doctoral committee.
In private industry, mathematicians typically need an advanced degree, either a master's degree or a doctorate.2
Statistics Graduate Programs
Statistic Graduate programs could lead to a PhD or other doctorate degree, a Master of Arts, Master of Science or Master of Professional Studies degree, or a graduate certificate in Statistics. Statisticians use a variety of methods to collect and analyze data that could be useful in education, marketing, healthcare, research and more.3 Statistics degrees could cover several areas to support these efforts, including applied statistics, data analysis, data science, data engineering, applied demography and business analytics, among others.
Masters in Statistics Programs
Masters in Statistics programs could help students learn to use math and statistical theory and methods to gain usable numerical data. With applications to many fields, statistics grad students might want to look for a program that addresses one field, or accommodates specific interests through electives. Many statistics degrees are flexible enough to mirror interests in business, computing, economics, engineering, health, operations research, and biological and social sciences. There are also several forms of the masters degree in statistics to consider.
- Master of Arts in Statistics: The MA in Statistics program could help students build practical knowledge in applied statistics and data analysis. Core courses could cover probability, statistical inference, linear algebra and regression. The MA track may serve as a platform to a PhD in Statistics in some schools. Students might be able to take some doctoral courses as electives, and may be required to complete a capstone project.
- Master of Science in Statistics: In some universities, a MS degree in Statistics is intended as a terminal professional degree and does not lead to the PhD degree. Students may take a series of core courses that could span probability, applied statistics, theoretical statistics and stochastic processes. Other statistics courses might include workshops in biostatistics or industrial research, linear algebra mathematics and computer programming.
Masters in Data Analytics
A Master of Science in Data Analytics program could focus on the strategic and advanced uses of data analytics across a broad range of industries. In some programs, students might take courses in data mining, visualization, modeling, optimization and the ethical uses of data. Other programs could explore financial accounting, multivariate analysis and business analytics. Apart from instruction, some MS Analytics degrees might entail a practicum which could help students develop their ability to manage projects, work in teams, and practice data security skills. Some programs could also require a final project.
Graduate Certificates in Statistics
Graduate Certificates in Statistics are typically short-term programs that target a few courses such as regression analysis and experimental design. Certificates could provide a boost for individuals who have a bachelors degree and want to refine skills or learn new methods. More advanced certificates in applied statistics are intended for engineers, scientists, analysts, and other professionals who want a solid education in the statistical methods that are relevant to their work.
Statistics PhD Programs
Statistics PhD programs are terminal and research-focused degrees. To enter a statistics PhD program, students may need a bachelor's degree in mathematics, statistics, or a closely related discipline.
PhD in Statistics programs take students through rigorous courses in the theory, methodology, and application of statistics. Coursework could cover areas such as probability, mathematical statistics and applied statistics. Also, students might have the opportunity to work with faculty on advanced research in a wide range of topics and write a dissertation. Typically, students must successfully pass exams on course material before they move onto their dissertation research.
Doctor of Computer Science
By contrast, a Doctor of Computer Science with an emphasis on big data analytics is a terminal and practice-focused degree. This type of program could help students develop their expertise in the tools and techniques used to analyze data. Coursework could cover advanced computer science and information systems topics. Aside from instructional courses, students might take doctoral research courses. In some universities, the final dissertation could be an extensive written document that includes literature review, a major study and a proposal for further inquiry.
Actuarial Science Graduate Programs
Actuarial Science graduate programs or Financial Engineering programs cover the analysis of the financial costs of risk and uncertainty. Actuaries use mathematics, statistics and financial theory to assess risks and then help businesses and clients develop policies that minimize the cost of these risk. This type of work is often used in the insurance industry and much of it is done with database software.4
Master of Science in Actuarial Science
Some schools might offer a Master of Science in Mathematics degree with a focus in Actuarial Science. To enter a program, students may need a bachelors degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, quantitative economics or a related field. While variable, coursework in a MS in Actuarial Science program could help graduates prepare to take professional exams given by the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and the Society of Actuaries (SOA). For instance, students could study advanced statistics, finance, investing, accounting and economics.
PhD in Actuarial Science
A PhD in Actuarial Science is a terminal research degree. In some universities, this type of degree might be offered as an Actuarial Science major within a PhD Mathematics program. This could mean students research actuarial science topics for their dissertation. In terms of coursework, students might take several math classes, as well as probability, risk theory and real and complex analysis courses.
Career Outlook
As the amount of digitally stored data grows and statistical analysis begins to inform decisions across many industries, the BLS estimates a 31 percent growth in employment for math occupations to 2031. Included in this group are actuaries, mathematicians, operations research analysts and statisticians.5

When one could assume, &ME entered the House and Techno world somewhat out of the blue, it is due to his sublime modesty that's already captured in his alias. His way to become one of today's most praised and sought after DJ/producers is based on a solid foundation. A foundation comprised of solo-releases, remixes, projects and collaborations that numerous, we'd rather refer to his discography than weary you with namedropping. Besides, all those references would just distract from what truly matters – the music this guy is delivering. Not to underestimate the importance of a project such as Terranova for &ME's current path, but still the alignment has been made – to focus consistently on his solo-work. And it shows.
There are not many artists around turning in such a slew of globally praised floormaterial like &ME did over the last years. Just think of his last offerings on Keinemusik, a collective of Berlin based DJs and producers, including Rampa, Adam Port, Reznik & artist Monja Gentschow, he helped founding in 2009, namely "After Dark" and "Woods" or his "Vermillion"-remix for Damian Lazarus – all serious bangers, played by every renowned DJ worldwide. Everything is falling into place for the fella. His DIY-approach to handle things, his easy going attitude, his reputation as a gifted producer and DJ extraordinaire, his ability to link innovative production with consensual reception, making him one of the most unique and original figures in the game.
