"The signing of the agreement represents a big step forward for football in Guinea-Bissau, but also for the entire African region," stated Mr. Lopes Nascimento. "This alliance acts as a springboard for future generations as a way to cultivate the talent that exists in the country by training with athletes at the local and regional levels, while generating new development opportunities for children of all ages, and strengthening the capabilities of young football players in Africa."
African Football Corp. will play an all-encompassing role in the team's management, by acting as the federation's commercial agent, business developer, and agent for the national team's players. By overseeing the team's operation, it will help the athletes achieve the best deals possible with top teams across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
African Football Corp. President and CEO, Oscar Faria, said: "We are very pleased with this strategic alliance bridging the public and private sectors in Guinea-Bissau. We believe in the country's capability to provide the world's football leagues with world class talent, while catapulting Africa as a football powerhouse. I am confident that this deal will be the first of many and I look forward to counting with other African federations that will join us in this journey."
As football fanatics worldwide prepare for the Russia 2018 World Cup, slated to begin on June 14, 2018, African Football Corp. will begin working with the local talent found in Guinea-Bissau to hopefully prepare them for the 2022 games.

Beverly Hills, Calif.
4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms
Steve Martin has hung a not-quite $2.15 million price tag on the smaller of his two residences that are discreetly tucked into a little-known Beverly Hills, Calif., cul-de-sac in the ruggedly ritzy mountains between Coldwater and Laurel Canyons. Listed with Myra Nourmand of Nourmand & Associates, the semi-retired septuagenarian actor, writer and producer, also accomplished banjo player, pianist, playwright and author, acquired the property for an unrecorded amount in the fall of 1997. The purchase came a couple of years after he paid house-flipping actors Corbin Bernsen and Amanda Pays $3.175 million for a neighboring property that is not currently for sale, at least on the open market.
Hidden behind a verdant wall of trees on a mostly wooded parcel of just over an acre, the two-plus story home, a pastiche of architectural styles built in the mid-1950s, seems substantially larger than the just-over 1,400 square foot tax records show, while online marketing materials, which do not cite square footage, indicate there are four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.

It's a full flight of exterior stairs up from the driveway to a voluminous double-height foyer with pale beige stone floor tiles and another full flight of stairs to the upper level living room that features a Spanish-style tile-accented fireplace and polished hardwood floors under a slightly pitched exposed beam ceiling. A long row of sliding glass doors open the notably lengthy space to a long, slender terrace shaded by an unpretentious white canvas awning and bordered by an unabashedly aristocratic stone balustrade. With glossy black granite countertops on custom, narrow slatted cabinetry, the unconventionally curvaceous contemporary kitchen is open to breakfast room wrapped in floor-to-ceiling picture windows and there are three en suite guest bedrooms along with a master retreat complete with an updated bathroom flooded with natural light though a large skylight plus a spacious private terrace with rustic, canyon views.
The comedic Einstein, a five-time Golden Globe nominee, a 1969 Emmy winner subsequently nominated another ten times and a deserved recipient of an honorary Oscar in 2014 for his extraordinary contribution to the showbiz industry over a career that has spanned an astonishing six decades, has long maintained an extensive, far-flung portfolio of private homes. Several years ago he sold an ocean-view Colonial compound perched high on a hillside on the swanky Caribbean island of St. Barts for an undisclosed amount — it was last listed for almost $7.8 million — but his holdings still include: A nearly 7,400 square foot, bunker-like concrete contemporary in Montecito, Calif., he's owned since at least the mid-1990s and briefly had for sale in 2015 for almost $11 million; a roughly 5,700 square foot, stone manor house secluded in the forested mountains between Greenville, S.C., and Asheville, N.C., and custom built on land purchased in 2005 for $185,000; and a one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo in a distinguished, full-service pre-war building across from Central Park on Manhattan's Upper West Side he picked up in 2008 for $885,000.

Advocates raise concerns over casual demeaning of people with disability at Wimbledon
In the past week two high profile Australian tennis players have caused a wave of sadness and anger in the disability community by using the word 'retard' at Wimbledon.
Today, Disability Australia, representing over 200,000 Australians with disability, called for Tennis Australia to better educate its players.
"People with disability often face everyday exclusion through casual slurs and insults," said AFDO President, Mr Trevor Carroll. "Over time, demeaning language has a profound effect on how society views people with disability and how we view ourselves. When high profile tennis players like Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic use demeaning language casually, they reinforce that hurt, especially for people with intellectual disabilities like Down syndrome."
Down Syndrome Australia, a member of Disability Australia, has acted swiftly. In a letter to Tennis Australia they have called on the sporting body to offer Kyrgios and Tomic education about Down syndrome, and to be more proactive in their general disability awareness.
"We believe this is an opportunity for Tennis Australia to step up its work in disability awareness and inclusion," said Angus Graham, President of Down Syndrome Australia. "It's our hope that they will work collaboratively with us to make sure we build more positive community attitudes towards people with Down syndrome, and people with disability more broadly."

You had pretty good luck doing the first few drafts of The Fiction Lovers' Companion here. Discussions with your publisher about the next projects has triggered the inevitable sifting process, looking for a place to begin, knowing from experience that beginnings are not always where you expect to find them, nor are they above the trickery of hiding, sometimes even masquerading behind explanations, history, and background, from which they must be extricated if they are to have any chance in the world.
All too often, beginnings like to hide; they are in many ways the equivalent of a shy youngster who is diffident, unwilling to be the first, unwilling to speak up, wanting more time to dwell in the fuzzy state of speculation, daydream, and fantastic movement of emotional furniture.
The provisional title for the nonfiction project is The Dramatic Genome: What Dramatic Writing Is, How It Works, and How to Write It. You have a clear—if incomplete—picture of how this will work, clear enough to have allowed you to set down a seven-page proposal with a fifteen-chapter table of contents, and topics for at least one appendix, possibly as many as three.
Within a week of your literary agent sending it forth, the editor you wanted to take it telephoned you to say she was planning on announcing it for January or February of 2013, which means it ought to be in her hands mid-September latest. You'd already produced one chapter to go along with the proposal. Of course it was not the beginning. Beginnings are likely to be found anywhere. Beginnings are surprises.
Now, all you have to do is write the book you wanted to write, which is of itself as much of a problem as discovering where the beginning is. Of course you want to talk about story and its strands of emotional triggers as analog to the concept of the genome, but you have to find your way into the material in a conversational rather then argumentive way, because what reader—least of all you—wants to sit through three hundred pages of argument?
Every organism has a container called a genome, filled with all the biological data needed to build and maintain itself and define individual traits. Story represents an integral part of the human condition, resident in all the senses. It also has a bookshelf, filled with dramatic information needed to build and maintain a living story container.
Our purpose here is to help you recognize the dramatic genome pulsing within you, access it whenever you wish, and use it to tell the stories you create as only you can.
Every organism, including humans, has a genome that contains all of the biological information needed to build and maintain a living example of that organism. The biological information contained in a genome is encoded in its deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and is divided into discrete units called genes. Genes code for proteins that attach to the genome at the appropriate positions and switch on a series of reactions called gene expression.

Many companies have launched their version of folding screens such as Samsung, Motorola, and Microsoft. And now Apple plans to join the club.
After successfully releasing a 5G smartphone, Apple is moving ahead with next innovation for its iPhone, i.e. Foldable display.
Samsung, one of the leading 5g companies, is currently enjoying the biggest market share for foldable smartphones. The company has three foldable phones. And as per our previous post, Samsung is even working on a Rollable display now.
Besides, the Chinese smartphone vendor, Huawei also released a foldable smartphone. So, it looks like Apple is the only one left.
And while it may seem like Apple is late to the party, it turns out they have filed multiple patents in the past which talk about folding iPads, iPhones, and more. And now Apple has filed a new patent.
On April 15, 2020, Apple Inc. filed a patent application that talked about a folding phone titled "Folding Electronic Devices With Geared Hinges."
The patent states that the invention covers an electronic device that may have a foldable display. A foldable housing will be used in supporting the display to enable it to fold and unfold. The first and second support structures will be joined at a hinge which will allow the support structures to rotate.
The hinge will include toothed components such as gears and a rack. The gears themselves may include rotating gears that walk along the curved portions of the rack member as the electronic device is folded and unfolded.
Some of the gears on the hinge will be fixed and attached to the first and second housing portions and that engage the rotating gears.
The images below illustrate the device in both the unfolded and folded positions and show the side views of the hinge mechanism.
Apple stated the reason behind creating a folding device as the difficulty faced in enlarging screens. Increasing the size of electronic devices too much to accommodate larger displays can make devices bulky.
The United Daily News' report noted that Apple is developing two new devices, one of which is a dual-screen model and the other is a model with a recessed top and bottom, similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip or Lenovo's Moto RAZR.
At present, the shells of these two folding devices are being tested at the Foxconn factory in Shenzhen along with the durability of the folding hinge.
Apple's another model that folds up and down is being tested and may be a folding screen model that is actually equipped with Samsung's flexible OLED screen panel. Upon assessing the test results, Apple will evaluate the most likely model to launch and abandon the other model.

We ask that Madison residents continue to be prepared for rising water levels. The water level on Lake Monona is down one half inch. While levels have dropped and some roads have been opened staff are continuing to be monitor roads and water levels and closure decisions will be made as needed. We encourage residents to refer to cityofmadison.com/flooding. While we did not get excessive amounts of rain yesterday and last night, weather conditions continue to be unstable. Flash flooding continues to be a concern.
Dane County Lakes staff has been working around the clock to do what they can to mitigate additional flooding before more rain is expected this week. Due to their efforts, Monona crested yesterday and levels should slowly go down today. Working through the weekend, county staff used 10 lake weed harvesters to remove over 270 loads of aquatic plants in the past several days. That's doubled the flow of the water leaving the chain of lakes. More water is now leaving the Yahara Chain than what's entering it, allowing for levels to stabilize.
City staff and volunteers have leafletted over 1,000 additional homes in the Starkweather Creek area letting property owners know their property is in a vulnerable area if we receive additional rain. Maps of all areas and of street closures can be found at cityofmadison.com/flooding.
Staff and volunteers have distributed 160,000 sandbags ....and we are in no danger of running out. Crews have been working around the clock to fill bags, at our Badger Road, Streets facility and they are able to fill roughly 1,400 per hour. Ten thousand additional bags were distributed this morning as a result of their overnight work.
Five sites throughout the Isthmus area are being utilized for sandbag production with staff and volunteers...those can be found on the website.
Madison Metro is continuing to offer free fares today but plan to charge for service tomorrow.
Residents are still reminded to monitor weather and avoid parking in low levels if rain is predicted. Overnight parking is still free in Madison ramps.
-Move valuables from your basement to other floors.
-Get a submersible pump and test your pump if you already have one.
-Sandbag your property if you are in low-lying areas identified on the City may for Isthmus flash flooding or in areas known to flood in the past.
-Acquire a plug for your floor drains, basement sink, and basement toilet. Placing sandbags over the floor drain will provide some level of protection.
We have received reports of people walking, swimming and kayaking in flood waters. The water is not safe for many reasons and people should stay out of it.
Big Top Events from Breese Stevens Field (Madison Mallards) donated 200 cases of bottled water to provide to volunteers and workers today. We appreciate their community support.

Q: Why do we use "vector-like" to mean "non-chiral", in particle physics? I've been reading some stuff about searches for vector-like quarks and vector-like leptons, and I'm a little confused about the terminology.
Also, I'm a little new to this, so bear with me.
As far as I can tell, these particles' wave functions are superpositions of right- and left-helicity wavefunctions, where left- or right-helicity is whether the particle's spin is aligned or anti-aligned with its momentum.
And chirality is whether or not the left- and right-helicity components transform identically under gauge transformations or not.
As far as I can tell, vector-like means non-chiral (i.e. the two components do transform identically, which is not the same as for standard model particles which don't transform identically).
What I'm confused about is the use of the word "vector-like" for this... How is this like a vector?
Let me know if I've misunderstood something above too!
Also, basically the same question exists on stackexchange here (from 6 years ago), but the asker didn't provide any background to help their question get answered, so I figured it was worth asking again in more detail.

A: If the left and right components belong to the same representation of the gauge group, then the gauge field couples to the vector current,
\begin{equation}
j_\mu^{(V)}=\bar{\psi}\gamma^\mu\psi=\bar{\psi}_L\gamma^\mu\psi_L+\bar{\psi}_R\gamma^\mu\psi_R
\end{equation}
We can also introduce the axial current,
\begin{equation}
j_\mu^{(A)}=\bar{\psi}\gamma_5\gamma^\mu\psi=\bar{\psi}_R\gamma^\mu\psi_R-\bar{\psi}_L\gamma^\mu\psi_L
\end{equation}
For the known leptons and quarks the weak interaction couples to the $V-A$ current,
\begin{equation}
j_\mu^{(V)}-j_\mu^{(A)}=2\bar{\psi}_L\gamma^\mu\psi_L
\end{equation}
The name vector-like implies that for those particles the weak interaction couples to the vector current.

Thank you for such a great and useful indicator.


I Heart Reading is a book review website and blog, focusing mostly on books, book reviews, author interviews, guest posts and book-related memes.
The design was built on the WordPress platform. It's a child-theme for the Genesis Framework that I made to fit this blog. It also runs on a bunch of plugins.
Two sidebars. There needed to be a lot of content in the sidebars, so not to make everything look cluttered, I added two sidebars.
Two navigation menus. The top menu leads to pages, the secondary menu (under the banner) leads to different categories.
Newsletter sign up needed to get a cute design.
The footer has three widget areas to show links and banners to different websites. The background shows a cityscape.
The top banner includes some bookshelves, and the logo.
Overall, I wanted a website design that looked cute but professional at the same time, and that could handle all the content this website has.

Pope Benedict XVI dies at the age of 95
Pope Benedict XVI had been living a life of retirement in the Vatican grounds since he resigned from the papacy February 28, 2013. His reign as pope was just under 8 years.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has died aged 95.
The Holy See Press Office announced the news this morning, with director Matteo Bruni writing: "With sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican." Bruni added that "[f]urther information will be provided as soon as possible."
Declaration of the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni
"With sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican.
Further information will be provided as soon as possible."
— Holy See Press Office (@HolySeePress) December 31, 2022
The late Pontiff's remains will rest at the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery until January 2, at which point Benedict's body will be on display in St. Peter's Basilica during the days of Monday through Wednesday. Pope Francis will celebrate the funeral at 9:30 am, January 5, in the basilica.
Pope Benedict had been living in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican gardens since he resigned on February 28, 2013.
He was the last of his parents' three children still alive, with his brother and sister Georg and Maria having died in 2020 and 1991 respectively.
Ratzinger's ecclesial career was long and noteworthy, even from his early days as a priest. Following his ordination in 1951, Ratzinger served as advisor to Cardinal Joseph Frings during Vatican II, acting as a member of the influential and highly organized liberal lobby seeking widespread change.
He then spent five years as Archbishop of Munich and Freising from 1977–1982, before being moved by John Paul II to be Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1982. Made cardinal in 1978, Ratzinger served as Vice-Dean and later Dean of the College of Cardinals from 1998.
He was elected Pope on April 19, 2005, taking the name Benedict XVI. He is arguably more famous for making history 8 years later by being the first Pope to resign in nearly 600 years.
One of his now more famous actions was the 2007 promulgation of his apostolic letter Summorum Pontificum, outlining broad permission for priests to celebrate the ancient form of the Roman liturgy. That document has since become the target of Pope Francis' moves against the traditional Mass, with Francis abrogating it in 2021.
Following the death of John Paul II on April 2, 2005, Ratzinger offered the funeral Mass for the late pontiff in his capacity as Dean of the College of Cardinals.
He was soon elected as Pope on just the second day of the conclave, on April 19, 2005, aged 78, and took the name Benedict XVI. In his first Mass as Pope he said during his homily "pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves."
Less than one month later, on May 13, 2005, he waived the customary five-year waiting period outlined in Canon Law and announced the beginning of the beatification process for his predecessor John Paul II. He canonised over 40 saints during his pontificate.
During his near 8 years as Pope, he wrote three encyclicals – Deus Caritas Est, Spe Salvi, and Caritas in Veritate – 13 motu proprios, 68 Apostolic Letters, and 4 apostolic exhortations. He created 90 cardinals in five consistories, and made 25 official trips outside of Italy.

In two documents released in 2007 and in 2013, he modified the rules governing the papal conclave – which had been somewhat eased by his predecessor – restoring the necessary majority of two-thirds of the papal electors and declaring excommunication the automatic punishment for breaking the oath of secrecy surrounding a conclave.
Pro-life stance
Throughout his pontificate, Benedict made a number of statements opposing abortion, which built upon his legacy as Prefect of the CDF to prevent pro-abortion politicians from receiving Holy Communion.
READ: Will Pope Francis fulfill Benedict's legacy on abortion and Communion?
At the very outset of his pontificate, Benedict stated, in reference to abortion, that a Pope cannot "proclaim his own ideas, but rather constantly bind himself and the Church to obedience to God's Word, in the face of every attempt to adapt it or water it down, and every form of opportunism." This adherence to Divine Law was shown by John Paul II, said Benedict, in his own defense of the unborn.
In his 2009 encyclical Caritas in Veritate, Benedict wrote: "If there is a lack of respect for the right to life and to a natural death, if human conception, gestation and birth are made artificial, if human embryos are sacrificed to research, the conscience of society ends up losing the concept of human ecology and, along with it, that of environmental ecology."
Condemning the "anti-birth mentality" he wrote that "Openness to life is at the centre of true development."
Prior to ascending the papal throne, in 2004 Ratzinger intervened into a debate among the U.S. bishops on the issue of Communion for pro-abortion Catholic politicians. He said in his letter titled "Worthiness to receive Holy Communion," that a Catholic politician who would vote for "permissive abortion and euthanasia laws" after being duly instructed and warned, "must" be denied Communion.
Pope Benedict XVI signs his second encyclical of his pontificate November 30, 2007, Spe Salvi.
Stance on homosexuality
While he was prefect, the CDF issued its letter "On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons" noting that a homosexual "inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder."
"Therefore special concern and pastoral attention should be directed toward those who have this condition, lest they be led to believe that the living out of this orientation in homosexual activity is a morally acceptable option," added Ratzinger. "It is not."
This position he echoed in later documents, and more notably during his 2012 Christmas address to the Roman Curia, when he appeared to denounce same-sex 'marriage' and criticized those who "dispute the idea that they have a nature, given by their bodily identity, that serves as a defining element of the human being."
After his resignation, he issued an essay in which he explicitly spoke against "homosexual cliques" in seminaries, "which acted more or less openly and significantly changed the climate in the seminaries."
READ: Benedict said what Vatican abuse summit dared not: 'Homosexual cliques' ruined seminaries
Two years later, he again attacked the rise of same-sex 'marriage' saying that "the legalization in 16 European states of 'homosexual marriage'" has led to a "deformation of conscience" that extends beyond the secular realm, having "penetrated deeply into the world of marriage in sectors of the Catholic people."
On February 11, 2013, Benedict shocked the world when he announced his resignation from the "Petrine office." In a short speech delivered in Latin to the assembled cardinals, Benedict cited declining health and advancing old age as the reason for his resignation.
READ: Benedict's renunciation and the wolves within the church
The announcement took the Church and the world by storm, with many expressing doubts as to the publicized reasons for his resignation. The text of his resignation address prompted debate as to its legitimacy which continued in many corners of the Church until his death – debate fuelled by his continued use of the white cassock, and title Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Pope Benedict XVI arrives, for the last time as head of the Catholic Church, at the window of Castel Gandolfo on February 28, 2013.
However, Cardinals Burke and Brandmuller, along with Benedict's secretary Archbishop Gänswein – publicly at least – downplayed suggestions that Benedict somehow remained as Pope. Burke, the former Prefect of the Holy See's Apostolic Signatura, stated that "I believe it would be difficult to say it's not valid."
READ: Did Benedict really resign? Gänswein, Burke and Brandmüller weigh in
Following his announcement, Benedict resigned on February 28, staying briefly at Castel Gandolfo, before moving to his more permanent home of the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican Gardens on May, 2 2013.
He made limited public appearances after that, but Pope Francis notably brought the new cardinals to meet Benedict at every consistory, where the new cardinals would receive a blessing from Benedict. He also joined Pope Francis in the March 25, 2022 consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Following the rollout of the abortion-tainted COVID injections, Pope Benedict joined Pope Francis in taking Pfizer's COVID jab in January 2021, at the start of the Vatican's vaccine campaign. Gänswein later revealed in December 2021 that Benedict had taken three injections at that point.
In recent years, pictures of the emeritus pope have occasionally emerged, showing a steady decline in his health as he appeared increasingly frail.
The visit of Pope Francis and the newly created Cardinals to Pope Benedict XVI is surely the most memorable and awesome part of today's consistory in Rome. It feels so great to see the 95-year old Pope Emeritus in such a good state.

However, footage from even as recently as early September, showed the late Pope being taken around the Vatican gardens in a wheelchair with Gänswein and a number of others in attendance.
Regensburg address
Early in his pontificate, the new Pope made international headlines for his September 12, 2006 address at the University of Regensburg – an address which enraged Muslims and prompted death threats against the Pope.
He quoted from a Byzantine emperor who had negatively described Muhammed, saying "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
Following widespread media controversy and particular outrage from Muslims, Benedict said a few days later that the words quoted "do not in any way express my personal thought."
Summorum Pontificum
On July 7, 2007 he issued his motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum, outlining and re-establishing the legal right of the traditional Latin Mass, writing that the traditional Mass "was never juridically abrogated and, consequently, in principle, was always permitted." He described the Novus Ordo Mass as the "normal" or ordinary form of the Roman Rite, and the Latin Mass the "extraordinary form," saying that they can be "mutually enriching."
His accompanying letter to the motu proprio contained the line which has since been made famous by devotees of the traditional Mass: "What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful." The document was warmly received by newly emboldened devotees of the traditional Mass, and led to a large increase in Latin Masses being offered around the world.

However, the motu proprio became the target of Pope Francis' 2021 motu proprio "Traditionis Custodes," which both contradicted and abrogated Summorum Pontificum.
Relations with SSPX and Anglican Ordinariate
Two years later in 2009, Benedict XVI announced the revoking of the excommunications on the bishops consecrated by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) in 1988 – excommunications which were always hotly contested by the bishops. The groundbreaking move, altering decades-long relations between the SSPX and the Vatican, was welcomed by SSPX superiors who then highlighted the need for "talks" to address the "doctrinal issues" between Rome and the Society.
Later that same year, Benedict then issued his apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus which allowed for personal ordinariates for Anglicans to enter into the Catholic Church. The document established norms for members of both the Anglican laity and clergy to convert and then live as Catholics. It resulted in an influx of converts to the Catholic Church, with personal ordinariates being established in England, the U.S., Australia.
By 2019, members of the three ordinariates numbered in excess of 9,000, with nearly 200 priests and 94 parishes.

Legionaries of Christ and Fr. Maciel
Benedict took action against the pedophile founder of the Legionaries of Christ, Father Marcial Maciel, culminating with the Pope posthumously condemning Maciel in 2010.
Despite being head of the CDF, Ratzinger was reportedly prevented from investigating Maciel in 1999, due to pressure from then Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano. When Maciel was honoured by John Paul II in 2004 – as the pope appeared deaf to sex abuse allegations about Maciel – Ratzinger then "took it on himself to authorize an investigation of Maciel."

Upon becoming Pope himself, Ratzinger – via the CDF in 2006 – ordered Maciel into "a reserved life of prayer and penance, renouncing every public ministry," but did not impose stricter penalties. Maciel was later revealed to have been a serial abuser and to have led a "gravely scandalous" double life, fathering several children by different women and abusing boys and seminarians throughout his long clerical career.
Maciel died in 2008 and two years later the Vatican released a report into the Legionaries, stating Maciel performed "very grave and objectively immoral actions" which "in some cases constitute real crimes and manifest a life devoid of scruples and authentic religious meaning." The organization, due to Maciel's influence, required "a process of profound re-evaluation," wrote the Vatican.
While Benedict XVI received criticism from mainstream media for what they described as inaction on priests accused of sexual abuse, the media subsequently discovered that a significant number of clerics had been laicised during his pontificate. Some 384 priests were removed from ministry between 2011 and 2012 alone, a number higher than previous years due to changes in Canon Law to make such penalties easier to enact.
Pope Benedict XVI was born Joseph Ratzinger on April 16, 1927, in Marktl am Inn, Germany.
Joseph was the youngest of three children born to Joseph Ratzinger Sr. and Maria. His attraction to the priesthood was noted from as young an age as five, as his recently deceased brother recounted.
While liberal media attempted to portray Ratzinger as a Nazi sympathiser when reporting on him later in life, his father was actually a "bitter enemy of Nazism because he believed it was in conflict with our faith," recalled Joseph's brother Georg.
Joseph Ratzinger entered minor seminary in 1939, but was forcefully drafted into the Hitler Youth and German armed forces during the Second World War, before deserting later. He restarted his seminary training after the war in 1946 and was ordained in June 1951, along with his brother Georg.
Joseph Ratzinger (2nd R) is shown with his family; brother Georg (2nd L), father Josef (R), sister Maria (L,) and mother Maria on the day of the two brothers' ordination to the priesthood July 8, 1951.
Early clerical career at Vatican II
In 1953, Fr. Ratzinger received his doctorate in theology from the University of Munich, and began teaching theology four years later in Freising, Bonn, Münster, and Tübingen, before moving to the University of Regensburg in 1969.
During this period, Ratzinger was theological adviser to Cardinal Josef Frings of Cologne, during the entirety of Vatican II.

Historian Roberto de Mattei, in his history of the council, described Ratzinger as one of the German theologians who "distinguished themselves" as being "in the 'marching flank' of progressivism." The young German priest worked closely with dissident clerics such as Frs. Karl Rahner, Bernard Häring and Yves Congar during the Council.
De Mattei noted, however, that in later years, Ratzinger rediscovered the "role of tradition and of Roman institutions."
Archbishop of Munich and Freising
In 1977 Ratzinger was consecrated Archbishop of Munich and Freising, a position he held until 1981. He was described as being academically and theologically adept and conservative during his time there, while critics argued that he was more interested in theology than administrative details.
More recently his time leading the archdiocese has come under increased scrutiny, as allegations have been made suggesting he failed to act over child abuse cases.

Ratzinger was accused of covering up abuse committed by Fr. Peter Hullermann, who was welcomed into the archdiocese in 1980, after having been suspended by the Diocese of Essen over abuse allegations in 1979. LifeSiteNews has provided detailed coverage of this aspect of his life (see HERE, HERE, and HERE).
Prefect of the CDF 1981–2005
After only four years in Munich, Cardinal Ratzinger was called by Pope John Paul II to become Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) in November 1981, and was also made President of the Pontifical Biblical Commission and of the International Theological Commission.
Over several years, Ratzinger conducted a review of the prominent liberation theologian Leonardo Boff, whose dissident views brought him under the CDF's purview on a number of occasions. Ratzinger, who viewed such ideology as a "fundamental threat to the Faith of the Church," eventually ordered Boff to maintain a "penitential silence" in 1985.
During his time as prefect of the CDF, Ratzinger rose through the Roman Curia, being appointed Vice-Dean of the College of Cardinals in 1998 and Dean in 2002. He was also a Member of the Council of the Second Section of the Secretariat of State, and of a number of Congregations: for the Oriental Churches, for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, for Bishops, for the Evangelization of Peoples, for Catholic Education, as well as for the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America and the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei.

Drafting of the new catechism
Cardinal Ratzinger also served as President of the Commission which drafted the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) for 6 years. While the work was an improvement on the notorious "Dutch catechism" of the 1960's – which was one of the prompts for drawing up the CCC – some Catholic critics took issue with the new catechism, even from shortly after it was published.
The CCC does address issues such as abortion and homosexuality, which were less explicitly mentioned in previous texts. However, in a more recent analysis, the text has been accused of continuing the post-Conciliar revolution – focussing chiefly on ecumenism and undermining the traditional concept of Catholic morality.
Interestingly, Ratzinger wrote an analysis of the heterodox "Dutch catechism," and even though he highlighted issues with it, stated that "it is not the fault of this one specific work but of theology in general." The Dutch Catechism "reflects the image of the Church at a time of transition with all its hopes and dangers," Ratzinger wrote in 1971.
Signing of declaration with Lutherans
Another instance of note during his tenure as Prefect was the 1999 Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification signed with the Lutheran World Federation, which he oversaw. A statement released at the time mentioned that Lutherans and Catholics had made "a consensus in basic truths of the doctrine of justification." The ecumenical Declaration called for "continued dialogue" in order to reach "full church communion, a unity in diversity, in which remaining differences would be 'reconciled' and no longer have a divisive force."
Ratzinger was a strong supporter of Vatican II's document on the Church's relation with non-Christian religions – Nostra Aetate – an ecumenical theme he appeared to continue during his tenure of the CDF.
Mixed messages on third Secret of Fatima
In 2000, Ratzinger's CDF published what he described as the "entirety" of the Third Secret of Fatima, a point hotly contested by numerous Fatima scholars and clerics. More recently though, in 2016, Father Ingo Dollinger – a personal friend of Ratzinger – told LifeSite's Maike Hickson that Ratzinger had told him in 2000 that "there is more than what we published."
Dollinger reported that he had been told by Ratzinger that the published part of the Secret was authentic and that the unpublished part of the Secret speaks about "a bad council and a bad Mass" that was to come in the near future. The Vatican, in a rare intervention, issued a statement reportedly from then Pope Emeritus Benedict, contradicting Fr. Dollinger's statement and declaring "the publication of the Third Secret of Fatima is complete."

Ireland's 2002 abortion referendum
Cardinal Ratzinger also featured behind the scenes in the 2002 abortion referendum in Ireland. In response to a government proposal advocating inclusion of abortion in the constitution, Ireland's bishops were expected to oppose the wording of the proposal, according to Cardinal Alfonso López Trujillo, then president of the Pontifical Council for the Family.
Catholic and pro-life advocates strongly opposed the government's move, but the bishops issued a surprise statement supporting the amendment. John Smeaton, CEO of SPUC at the time, wrote to Trujillo noting that "it is being said in Ireland that His Eminence Cardinal Ratzinger gave his support to the government's wording of the abortion." Trujillo did not reply to Smeaton's request for the CDF to oppose the wording of the referendum, merely writing cryptically much later "Con i mili concliali saluti. Non ho dato resposta. Sono persone molto fideli e influentii…" "With my conciliar greetings. I did not give an answer. There are very reliable and influential people…"
Later, in a meeting with Smeaton, Trujillo said that, contrary to the Irish Bishops' claim that Rome approved of their support of the government's referendum wording, Ratzinger and the Archbishop of Dublin had actually "reached a conclusion opposing the Irish Government's proposals."

Choice of personal secretary
Former Papal Nuncio to the U.S. Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò told LifeSiteNews recently that Ratzinger's secretary of 19 years while at the CDF – now Bishop Joseph Clemens – is believed to be an active homosexual during his time serving Ratzinger.
Prior to Clemens' episcopal consecration when he left his secretary position, investigations found serious allegations he was a homosexual. Viganò told LifeSite that, at the time, Ratzinger was warned about Clemens' homosexuality and that he nevertheless consecrated him a bishop.
Another source in Rome told LifeSite's Dr. Maike Hickson: "The fact that Josef Clemens was and is an active homosexual is well known among us here in Rome."

Theological writings
As cardinal and Pope, Benedict XVI was renown for his philosophical, theological and liturgical writings. Some of his writings of particular note include his books:
Principles of Catholic Theology, 1982, a book in which Ratzinger "expressed his agreement with the [Second Vatican] council's break with the position of the previous popes who condemned the errors of the French Revolution, liberalism, and Modernism."
Feast of Faith: Approaches to a Theology of the Liturgy, 1986
Called to Communion: Understanding the Church Today, 1996
The Spirit of the Liturgy, 2000
Jesus of Nazareth, 2007
While his writings have been welcomed by many, they have also faced criticism from traditional Catholics, who have warned about the content of Ratzinger's texts. As has been noted by academics who dared to question the status quo on Ratzinger's writings, as cardinal, Ratzinger praised "the [Second Vatican] council's break with the position of the previous popes who condemned the errors of the French Revolution, liberalism, and Modernism."
In his Principles of Catholic Theology, Ratzinger praised Vatican II's Gaudium et Spes as it "serves as a countersyllabus" to the Church's prior opposition to Liberalism, "and as such, represents, on the part of the Church, an attempt at an official reconciliation with the new era inaugurated in 1789."
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger leads a final Mass for papal election before the start of the conclave in Saint Peter's Basilica April 18, 2005 in Vatican City.
Now, 17 years after he ascended to the papal throne, 45 years after he was consecrated bishop in 1977, and 71 years after he was ordained a priest in 1951, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has died on December 31, 2022.
LifeSiteNews readers are invited to pray for the repose of his soul.

Pregnant Princess Charlene wows in white at Grace Kelly ball
Princess Charlene was a vision in white as she attended a lavish ball – just days after it was announced that she is expecting twins.
Holding hands with her husband Prince Albert, the pregnant royal, 36, looked every inch the pretty princess.
Charlene drew attention to her blossoming baby bump with an empire-style flowing white gown that sashayed to the sides as she walked the white carpet.

Prince Albert and Princess Charlene are expecting twins at the end of the year
The former Olympian swimmer, who recently told HELLO! that she was feeling "absolutely great", swept her blonde locks back to reveal a pair of exquisite pearl drop diamond earrings.
Upon her arrival, Charlene's natural affinity with children was immediately seen as she warmly greeted a young girl who had given her flowers.
Albert, 56, and Charlene were attending the 2014 Princess Grace Awards Gala in Beverly Hills, California – showing their support for Albert's late mum Grace Kelly, who set up the awards programme to encourage and support emerging artists in America.
Prince Albert and Princess Charlene were attending the Princess Grace Awards Gala
This year Dick Van Dyke, 88, was honoured with the Prince Rainier III prize, while classical ballet dancer David Hallberg and Guatemalan-American actor Oscar Isaac were presented with the Princess Grace Statue Awards.
The evening kicked off with a reception, followed by the awards ceremony and dinner and a silent auction at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
Charlene and Albert's appearance came just a day after the royal couple attended the Princess Grace Foundation Cocktail Reception in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening.
This will be the first birth for Princess Charlene
Dining with Hollywood's finest, the Monegasque royals were joined by the likes of Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, January Jones and Linda Bruckheimer for the occasion.
And the stars didn't miss the opportunity to present the parents-to-be with a gift – Albert was pictured holding a bright blue T-shirt with the word "Hollywood" fittingly printed on the front.
The delivery of another matching T-shirt will have to be arranged, as the news of Charlene and Albert's double joy has since come to light.

#tobyreads: Three Takes on Solitude
I'm probably stating the obvious here, but: solitude can yield impressive literary results. Samuel Beckett made stunning fiction from characters trapped in their own heads. Novels like Paul Harding's Tinkers and Lydia Millet's My Happy Life take similar approaches, taking the inner life of singular characters to a heightened level. There's a certain school of nonfiction that places a narrator alone in a landscape and lets them work wonders with the scenery around them. And that, more or less, brings us to […]

Wine Cellar Cooler - compare hundreds of wine cooler refrigerators.
First of all, storing a couple of bottles of wine in a regular fridge is no problem if you are only an occasional wine drinker, but once you start to appreciate the flavor, bouquet, color, and quality of fine wine you will realize that you need to consider correct storage and temperature maintenance. Maybe, you have already gathered a few bottles in wine racks in the coolest part of your home, and are beginning to think about a wine cellar, it's time to contemplate purchasing two appliances that many wine enthusiasts consider indispensable: a wine cooler and a wine cellar cooling unit. But, before investing your money into wine cooling you should first thoroughly read our wine cooler reviews to get your perfect match.
Once your wine collection has progressed beyond half a dozen bottles it becomes impractical to keep it in the refrigerator. Not only does it take up too much of the space required for perishable food and other cold drinks, it's also far from ideal because domestic refrigerators typically have only one temperature control, meaning that everything inside it is maintained at the same temperature. Additionally, wines have varying optimum storage temperatures.
Our wine cooler reviews will provide a good guide to the features you want to see in the best wine coolers, but here is an overview to get you started.
Before you can decide on what will be the best wine refrigerator for you, you need to consider exactly where you are going to put it. This may constrain what size and shape it can be. A space between kitchen cabinets is ideal for a tall, narrow unit, but it may need to be smaller in order to sit on a kitchen counter or fit underneath it. Air needs to circulate around the vents at the back of the unit, so make allowances for that in your space provision. The best wine cooler location is in your living area, where you have enough space for a free-standing unit.
Just because one wine cooler is bigger than another on the outside doesn't necessarily mean that it will hold a greater number of bottles. The capacity should be listed in the manufacturer's features guide, and wine refrigerator reviews will compare the capacity of different coolers. Also remember that not all wine bottles are the same size, and the best wine coolers will be able to handle sizes other than the standard 750ml (25.4 oz) bottles. This is achieved by having shelves or racks which are sturdy enough to slide in and out of adjustable positions.
Ideal storage and serving temperatures are not identical for red and white wines. Wine fridge reviews should give lower scores to coolers which compromise with a single temperature control. Best results are achieved with at least two chilling zones with separate controls, allowing white wines to be stored at a slightly lower temperature than the reds.
Glass doors are standard for dedicated wine coolers, allowing for an attractive permanent display of your wine collection and enabling you to choose your bottle before you open the door, minimizing temperature disturbance. However, normal glass lets in UV rays, which can damage your valuable wine. Check out wine coolers reviews to steer you towards a cooler with UV protective glass, and possibly the extra insulation provided by thermopane glass (also known as 'double glazing').
Normal domestic refrigerators have noisy moving parts. Cooling is accomplished by means of a motorized compressor, coils and liquid coolants. Also, the compressor is loud when operating, and when it switches off it makes the fridge, and everything in it, vibrate and rattle. This doesn't matter too much with a carton of milk, but it will interfere with your wine's progress towards maturity and settlement of any sediment. So, look for the important word 'thermoelectric' in wine cooler reviews. Most of all, a silent, motionless thermoelectric cooling system will protect your wine from vibration and allow you to savor it in tranquility.
The exterior appearance of your wine cooler may seem to be of minor importance, but it should not be overlooked. Your wine cooler is a statement about your taste, a proclamation that you are sincere about wine appreciation. So, consult our wine refrigerator reviews yet again, this time to tick the boxes for good looks. You should be able to choose an exterior surface in the silver/gray/black range with no problems, but if you are looking for something special like bright red or real wood you may find that your choice of models is more limited. Don't forget to check the interior color as well – some reviewers forget to mention this – and the best wine coolers will have interior lighting which is effective but not too bright, so that your wine collection can be displayed to full advantage without being damaged.
If you buy the best wine cooler it will last a long time. It may have to see you through a kitchen renovation, or even moving house, so if you have to relocate your cooler you may be glad that you chose one with a reversible door. A locking door provides extra security against exploring children or opportunist thieves. Finally, temperature controls on a digital touch panel combine ease of use with a more stylish appearance.
After progressing from wine racks behind the couch to not just any old cooler but the best wine refrigerator available, you may one day find that even this is not enough. If you are lucky enough to have a cool area underneath the house (maybe a crawl space that doesn't need to accommodate a winter heating system) or an actual cellar, it won't be too long before you are considering establishing your very own wine cellar. Consequently, after that you will need to check out wine cellar cooling units.
It is not a good idea to just buy a standard room air conditioning system for use in your wine cellar. Because, normal domestic air conditioners are unable to handle cooling down to the 57- 65° F (14 -18° C) required for ideal wine storage. Too high a temperature will irreparably damage your wine, while too low a temperature will slow down the process of maturation.
Wine cellar cooling units are actually refrigeration units rather than being air conditioners. They cool much more slowly than air conditioners do, which means that the air in the cellar will not dry out and correct levels of humidity are maintained. Wine bottle storage requires a humidity level of between 50% and 70%. Because, anything lower and wine bottle corks will dry out. Furthermore, anything higher and mold is likely to form. Mostly, standard domestic air conditioners create a relative humidity of around 30%, which is unacceptable for wine.
In conclusion, you will get the best result by reading wine cellar cooling units reviews to determine which dedicated cooling system is best suited to your cellar.
So, there are three main types of wine cellar cooling systems: through-the-wall systems, ducted systems and split systems.
First of all, the limited cooling capacity of this kind of self-contained cooling system means that it is best for small cellars. It's mounted through the wall, connecting with the outside of the building or with another well- ventilated space beneath the house. The cooling unit can interfere with the placement of wine racking unless you give some careful thought to its positioning. They can be installed by the home handyman.
In addition, a ducted cooling system could be used in a larger cellar. The installation offers more flexibility, because the unit containing the evaporator, fan and condenser can be situated either inside or outside the cellar. Ducts handle the movement of fresh air and exhaust air.
Finally, split system wine cellar coolers are even more flexible, and perfect for situations which do not lend themselves to ducting. The system consists of a condensing unit (which can be placed outdoors or in a garage) and a wall-mounted evaporator inside the cellar. Air is cooled as it circulates across the coils of the evaporator, and does not need to leave the cellar. Yet, the downside is that this type of wine cellar cooling unit cannot be installed by a home handyman, but only by a qualified refrigeration technician.
With so many features to consider when making your decision about the best wine cooler and the best wine cellar cooling unit, it's clear that wine cooler reviews offer a vital guide to the otherwise inexperienced purchaser.
