Best Tomcat JSP Hosting of 2023
Not every web hosting company will suffice for hosting a Tomcat site. We break down the best hosting companies for the job.
Reviewer: Katie Horne, backend design expert
Editor: Michael Levanduski, web hosting industry expert
Best Tomcat JSP Hosting
Bluehost is our pick for Best Tomcat JSP hosting for its accessible site builders, an extensive list of site tool add-ons, and its free Cloudflare integration.
If you're looking for an alternative to Bluehost, try HostGator or A2 Hosting for their Tomcat JSP hosting capabilities.
Compare Tomcat JSP Hosting Services
Why it's best: Strong customer service, offers uptime, and a great value for your money
Free site builders
Dozens of site tool add-ons
Free Cloudflare integration (speeds up your site loading)
Best hosting customization for Tomcat JSP
Why it's best: Flexible tools allow you to install and modify Tomcat by yourself at no additional charge
24/7 support via multiple channels
Best Tomcat JSP hosting for speed
Why it's best: Impressive uptime, 24/7 customer support, and a generous refund policy
SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate
Database backups
How Did We Choose the Best Hosts for Tomcat JSP?
We've reviewed over 1,500 hosting plans with over 380 hosting companies and selected the ones which meet all the technical requirements for running a Tomcat JSP site. We then chose the hosts which have great reviews from Java developers, keep Java updated, use cPanel, and offer the mod_jk module.
Finally, we asked real users. Using our huge database of over one million words of genuine customer reviews, we've identified the top hosts for Tomcat JSP.
What Is Tomcat?
Apache Tomcat — informally referred to as Tomcat — is an open source web server and servlet container which implements multiple Java EE (Enterprise Edition) specifications, including JSP, which were developed and released by Sun Microsystems in 1999.
It is not really a framework or a programming language. It is more like facilitating technology to assist in the development of dynamic web pages on HTML (hypertext markup language), XML (extensible markup language), and other document systems.
Tomcat provides management and configuration tools for developers, and it uses its JSP engine to create a pure Java environment in which Java code can run.
Tomcat and JSP offer developers the ability to generate dynamic web content without having to install and use a full applet on the server.
This approach is geared to save time and money. Since Tomcat is developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation (makers of the popular web server), it is open source and you can use it free of charge under Apache License 2.0.
How to Choose a Tomcat JSP Web Host
The fact that many mainstream hosting companies don't tend to be involved in the Tomcat niche does not mean there are no good alternatives. On the contrary, a number of small companies specialize in this space and get good user ratings, so there is nothing to worry about.
There are several questions you should ask yourself before you commit to a plan:
How much will the plan cost?
Do you need a VPS (virtual private server)?
Will the contract be yearly or month-by-month?
Are the staff knowledgeable about Tomcat?
What options do you have for support?
The fact that you are using Tomcat JSP and in need of Java web hosting narrows down your options considerably. However, there is still more than one option available.
So which Tomcat host is the one that's best for you? Here are some great options to consider.
Best Tomcat JSP Hosting Providers
Best overall hosting
High-performance platform
Frequent updates
Visit Bluehost
Why it's best: Bluehost is an incredibly reliable hosting provider that has strong customer service, offers uptime, and a great value for your money
Bluehost is a provider of cloud-based hosting for Java and PHP-based (hypertext preprocessor) websites. It offers industry-leading protection against cyber threats for all of its users, and it is one of the few providers that offer you several options when it comes to hosting for Tomcat web apps.
Pros and cons of Bluehost
Solid uptime
Includes several security features such as unique IPs (internet protocols), SSL, & SiteLock protection
No automated daily backup
Bluehost only offer servers in Linux; Windows hosting is not available
What customers are saying about Bluehost
Bluehost is a reputable provider offering shared and VPS hosting. The company is easy to use, affordable, and has great uptime. It is geared toward entrepreneurs and small online startups. Billing might be confusing, but they have solid customer service for any issues.
Why it's best
Bluehost is an incredibly reliable hosting provider that has strong customer service, offers uptime, and a great value for your money
Visit HostGator
HostGator will install Tomcat free of charge on Linux-based VPS plans or a dedicated server. However, if your account includes a cPanel control panel, you can install Tomcat by yourself at no additional charge.
Regardless of which option you choose, Tomcat is an add-on to your server's operating system. You will need to work with the HostGator support team to get everything up and running. HostGator is one of the better hosts for JVM (Java virtual machine).
Pros and cons of HostGator
Reliable uptime and fast response times
Affordable hosting plans
Generous 45-day money-back guarantee that gives customers peace of mind.
An advanced cPanel that requires some getting used to
Weekly backups, which may slow service
What customers are saying about HostGator
HostGator is a good fit for beginners seeking a web host with various features. The customer service and prices are favorable but avoid paying for unnecessary extras. Note there are limitations to the SEO capabilities.
Flexible tools allow you to install and modify Tomcat by yourself at no additional charge
Best hosting for speed
Though A2 Hosting does not explicitly offer Java hosting, the company is nevertheless an all-around solid web hosting provider. Generally speaking, if you are looking for web hosting (especially shared hosting) that supports niche features, you can't go wrong with A2.
The company strives to be as developer-friendly as possible, so if it does not currently support something you need, you are welcome to submit a feature request for inclusion in the company's development queue (though we should note that the company already supports JVM).
Furthermore, the company is one of the few that offers managed virtual private servers and dedicated hosting options.
We also want to mention the availability of cloud-based, developer-oriented hosting from internet giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.
These options tend to be supremely scalable and infinitely flexible, and therefore make a good fit for niche hosting needs.
Pros and cons of A2 Hosting
International data centers
Windows options not yet implemented
What customers are saying about A2 Hosting
A2 is a reliable, affordable hosting company that has fast speeds. The customer service is generally responsive but could use more updated tutorials and documentation.
Impressive uptime, 24/7 customer support, and a generous refund policy
Frequently Asked Questions About Tomcat JSP
What is JSP?
JSP stands for Jakarta service pages. It used to be the acronym for JavaServer pages.
What is a JSP?
JSP is a technology that allows developers to build dynamically generated HTML, XML, or other text-based file formats using the Java language.
How does a developer use JSP?
JSP files allow a developer to write static content (such as HTML) and then include dynamic content (variables, functions — Java code) into the file. JSP is very similar to the way PHP or ERB (embedded Ruby) allows dynamic code to be embedded into a text file.
What language is JSP code written in?
JSP code is written in the Java programming language. It can be embedded into any file format which is text-based, such as HTML, XML, or even CSS (cascading style sheets) and JavaScript.
Who developed JSP?
JSP was originally developed by Sun Microsystems and released in 1999. Oracle currently owns it.
What operating systems can JSP run on?
Because JSP is a Java technology, JSP can be run on any OS (operating system) that supports a Java virtual machine. JVMs exist for almost every operating system and platform available so that JSP can be used almost anywhere.
What is the benefit of JSP?
Any programming language can write output to an HTML document or other format for web consumption. Certainly, Java was capable of doing this long before JSP was developed. JSP, though, makes it easier to output templated documents that only need a fraction of their content to be dynamic.

Financial Solutions Canada® is a different kind of financial advisory firm.
Our unique approach to working with clients helps them achieve financial security.
Most families are so focused on running their households, so often they don't have time to conduct proper financial planning for themselves. Rather than preparing for financial issues in advance, most find themselves reacting to life's surprises.
At the same time, many advisory firms focus on the products sold instead of the client's goals. Given this approach, it's no surprise that families become frustrated with the results.
At Financial Solutions Canada®, we take a different approach. We don't offer advice on your situation until we fully understand your short, mid and long term goals. Once we know what you want and the resources you have accumulated to date, we model different scenarios and come up with a plan that will give you financial clarity. Only then will we recommend products and strategies.
We take the time to understand the dynamics of the couple, in regards to how each partner relates to money. One partner may be the "saver" and the other the "spender". One may be a "planner", the other "impulsive". One may be more "motivated" while the other more "laid back". Understanding this relationship is important in the goal setting process and in the implementation of a financial plan like "The Family WealthMap Solution™.
Feel free to contact us for assistance with any financial questions.


For enquiries about consultations, workshops or practitioner training, please send me a message. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I shall only use your email to respond to your specific query and will NOT add your details to my database.

Österreichisches Theatermuseum
The Austrian Theatre Museum presents exhibitions on the themes central to the history of theatre-from spoken theatre to dance, from puppet shows to cinema and from pantomime to opera.
It brings together more than 100,000 hand sketches, nearly 1,000 stage prop and stage architecture models, over 700,000 photos, around 2,000 pieces of memorabilia having to do with famous actors and actresses, authors and composers, autographs of figures including Beethoven, Goethe and Mahler, Klimt's painting "Nuda Veritas" and costumes, some of which were made according to designs by Kokoschka and Wotruba. With nearly 2 million items in its collections, it is probably the world's largest museum of its kind. And to academics and anyone else interested in theatre, its archive represents an inestimably valuable resource. The library contains around 80,000 books and periodicals.
A special room is dedicated to art nouveau artist Richard Teschner (1879-1948) and his revolutionary theatre of figures, the so-called Figurenspiegel (Figure Mirror) (performance dates/times).
The unique quality of the theatre museum consists last but not least in its location next to the Hofburg: the magnificent baroque Palais Lobkowitz with its famous Eroica Hall, in which Beethoven gave numerous concerts.

Release: May 24th, 301 AP.
Ambassador John Crawley is packing his bags and moving to Colchisia in the Lendosan Confederation, it was announced today.
Ambassador Crawley is one of the most experienced diplomats in the Utanian staff, but has been "performing poorly", according to insiders, in his role as Ambassador to Christiana. They cite a lack of strategic agreements, let alone a trade agreement with the world's most well-known nation.
President Okarvits announced the move for Ambassador Crawley today at a press conference. The President rejected flatly rejected any suggestion that the move for Crawley was a snub for Christiana.
"In no way does it reflect on Christiana, and I have written to the Prime Minister to emphasise that point with him. There is no diminishing of the relationship between Utania and Christiana." By implication, it was suggested that Ambassador Crawley had "performed poorly" in Christianshaven, another suggestion rejected, albeit less vigourously, by the President.
"Ambassador Crawley has served us well in Christianshaven, and will serve us even better in Colchisia." The President announced that Dr Eloi White will serve as "acting" Ambassdor until "a suitable replacement" is found, and emphasised that Dr White would be "as active as any full Ambassador could be".
Instead, the President took the opportunity to criticise the almost defunct UNV General Assembly, to which Dr White is the Utanian delegate, by saying that Dr White has had "plenty of spare time of late".
The move to Colchisia could be the biggest of Crawley's career, if recent reports are right. The rumoured Û30 billion trade agreement between Utania and the Lendosan Confederation would make the Confederation the "most significant" trading partner Utania has in the world, a coup for trade diplomats, but also for liberals fighting against Utania signing an alliance agreement with the Zartanian Empire.
The serious nature of the relationship is also emphasised by the placing of Crawley in Colchisia.

One of my favorite things about working for Budsies is getting to help bring so many original characters to life. There is just something about seeing someone hold their 3D plush character instead of just seeing it on a piece of paper. For a group of filmmakers from Michigan, bringing their mascots to life was only the beginning. I had a chance to chat with Tomasz Drezek, one of the founding members of a film production studio, and learned a bit at how their Budsies helped to inspire them and their films.
This story begins with three friends: Tomasz Drezek, Chandler Macocha, and J.J. Pardo. Tom and J.J. originally met in a film class. Despite having bonded over their love of similar movies, they lost contact after the class ended. By lucky happenstance, the two friends were reunited after J.J. wandered into the electronics store that Tom worked in. J.J. had been working on James Franco and Zach Braff's movie, "The Color of Time", and they started talking about making their own movie together. Little did they know, this moment would lead to the creation of Banana-Dragon Productions!
So where did Chandler come into the mix? Tom and J.J. were holding auditions for the lead actor in their main cast… to no avail. After joking around with the guys, Chandler gave the pair the best audition they had seen overall, and he was given the part.
One of the biggest moments of inspiration for the group came from a movie scene recreation contest. They decided to recreate the famous ear punching scene from one of their favorite movies, Fight Club. They also decided to film the book ending as a fan film, because the book ends differently than the movie. "All this hard work was rewarded when the author of "Fight Club" himself (Chuck Palahniuk) shared our video on all his social media platforms." Tom states. Because of this, their film has received over 90,000 views and counting. This is when they started to realize that their dream could become a reality.
Banana-Dragon's most successful video was born after they watched the movie Logan. It was a pretty epic post-credits video featuring Deadpool. Right after uploading the video, a famous movie news & reviews site, joblo.com, asked the guys if they would like to team up to host the video exclusively on Joblo's channel. They were elated to receive the recognition they deserved for their hard work and agreed.
"So, where does the name Banana-Dragon Productions come from"?
Well, I'm glad you finally asked, because I have the answer… and it's pretty cool.
The guys wanted the name to have meaning, so they decided to sit down and think about things from their childhood that helped inspire them to become filmmakers. One of the names was inspired by Tom's little brother, who had a stuffed gorilla named Bananas. Whenever Tom was upset, his brother would plop Bananas onto his head to help make him feel better. So Tom created his own Bananas, which would become one of the three mascots of Banana-Dragon Productions.
J.J. grew up loving Godzilla movies; he would always watch them with his mom, dad, and sister. He also played the game Mortal Kombat and remembered getting frustrated with how difficult it was to defeat the last boss, Shao Kahn. This, in turn, inspired J.J's chosen mascot, DinoKhan. These characters represent the "Banana" and "Dragon" in Banana-Dragon productions. So what is Chandler's contribution?
Explaining this further, Tom said, "When you have a gorilla and a dragon it makes logical sense to bring a robot into the mix (and add a '-' between 'Banana' and 'Dragon')". This is how Chandler's robot character, Hyphen Bot, came into existence. However, while Hyphen Bot is as tough as bolts, he also has a metallic heart of gold. So there you have it folks. These trusted sidekicks — Banana, Hyphen Bot, and DinoKhan — are what made the name Banana-Dragon Productions!
With mascots as cool as these, the guys knew they had to bring them to life. The 3 friends wanted to help work on a feature film based off of the the book Rant by Chuck Palahniuk. James Franco had acquired the rights to adapt this book. As part of their pitch for this project, they created two sets of their mascots as Budsies: one set to keep and one set to send off for Chuck and James to see! They had hoped that sending the Budsies would make their production studio, as well as themselves, stand out as the best one to work on this project.
If you closely watch their films, you'll find the Budsies hidden in the background! Check out the beginning of their most successful video (hint: look at 0.07 seconds).
These Budsies aren't just toys that sit on a shelf or a bed; they have gone along on hundreds of adventures and trips. They've faced down grizzly bears, braved the sand dunes in Michigan, and most recently, traveled to Cape Town, South Africa for even more wild adventures.
Along with getting their passports stamped, these Budsies are in high-demand: many people have had the pleasure of meeting them. They have met Chuck Palahniuk, author of "Fight Club". They went to Motor City Comic Con & met their heroes. First, they met Michael Rooker who appeared on 'The Walking Dead' and then played Youndu in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. Next, they met Sean Gunn from 'Gilmore Girls' and in "Guardians of the galaxy Vol. 2'. Lastly, the guys and Budsies got to meet Rob Schneider, one of their childhood idols. Rob even took the time to encourage the group to keep following their dreams, and to work even when it's hard. All in all, the guys & their Budsies had a great time.
It's safe to assume that these three men work extremely hard, and are very passionate about what they do. The three Budsies have become an important part of Banana-Dragon Productions, and to Tom, J.J., and Chandler themselves.

← What is Prayer?
What are Demons? →
What Are Angels?
What Are Angels? By Jack Kettler
As in previous studies, we will look at definitions, scriptures, lexical, and commentary evidence and confessional support for the purpose to glorify God in how we live.
Angels: Angel means messenger. Angels are created (Psalms 148:2; Psalm 148:5; Colossians 1:16), non-human, spirit beings (Hebrews 1:14). They are immortal (Luke 20:36), innumerable (Hebrews 12:22), invisible (Numbers 22:22-31), sexless (Matthew 22:30), and do the will of God (Psalms 103:20). These angels have a ministry to believers. They guide (Genesis 24:7; Gen 24:40), protect (Psalms 34:7), and comfort (Acts 27:2; Act 27:24).
There are good angels (Genesis 28:12; Psalms 91:11) and bad angels (2Peter 2:4; Jude 1:1:6). The only angels mentioned by name are Gabriel (Daniel 8:16; Dan 9:21), Michael (Daniel 10:13, 21; 112:1), and Lucifer (Luke 10:18). Michael is always mentioned in the context of battle (Daniel 10:13) and Gabriel as a messenger (Luke 1:26). Of course, Lucifer, who became Satan, is the one who opposes God.
Angels were originally created for the purpose of serving and carrying out the will of God. The fallen angels rebelled and became evil angels. Satan is such an angel (Isaiah 14:12-16; Ezekiel 28:12-15). *
Angels: God created two sorts of personal beings: angels (from the Greek term meaning "messenger") and human beings. There are many angels (Matt. 26:53; Rev. 5:11). They are intelligent moral agents, without bodies and normally invisible, although they are able to show themselves to men in what appears as a physical form (Gen. 18:2-19:22; John 20:10-14; Acts 12:7-10). They do not marry, and are not subject to physical death (Matt. 22:30; Luke 20:35-36). They can move from one point in space to another, and many of them can congregate in a tiny area (Luke 8:30, where the reference is to fallen angels).
The Scriptures honor all holy angels as glorious creatures. They are called "sons of God" (Job 1:6; 2:1) and "mighty ones" (Psa. 29:1). They are said to be radiant and powerful (Isa. 6:1-4; 2Thess. 1:7; 1Pet. 3:22; 2Pet. 2:11; Rev. 15:8) even forming the victorious army of God (Exod. 14:19). Yet, Scripture also points to the honor and splendor of being holy human beings. The Psalmist said we were made "a little lower than the heavenly beings" (Psa. 8:5), which is an honorable position. Yet, the apostle Paul noted that this would not be the final order between angels and humans. He told the Corinthians that when Christ returns we will "judge the angels" (1Cor. 6:3). The human race – the image of God – will one day rule over not only the earth and its creatures but also the angels. **
From the Scriptures about angels:
"Bless the LORD, ye his angels that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word." (Psalm 103:20)
From the Geneva Study Bible on Psalm 103:20:
"Bless the LORD, ye his angels that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
In that we, who naturally are slow to praise God, exhort the angels, who willingly do it, we stir up ourselves to consider our duty and wake from our sluggishness."
From Strong's Lexicon:
"All His angels
מַלְאָ֫כָ֥יו (mal·'ā·ḵāw)
Noun – masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular
Strong's Hebrew 4397: 1) messenger, representative 1a) messenger 1b) angel 1c) the theophanic angel"
"And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS." (Luke 1:30-31)
From the Geneva Study Bible on Luke 1:30-31:
"And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
So the Hebrews said, saying that those men have found favour who are in favour.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS."
ἄγγελος (angelos)
Noun – Nominative Masculine Singular
Strong's Greek 32: From aggello; a messenger; especially an 'angel'; by implication, a pastor."
Regarding the Angel of the Lord:
"And it came to pass that night that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses." (2Kings 19:35)
From Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers on 2Kings 19:35 and the angel of the LORD:
"(35-37) THE CATASTROPHE. SENNACHERIB'S RETREAT, AND HIS VIOLENT END.
(35) And it came to pass (in) that night.—This definition of time is wanting in the parallel text; but it is implied by the phrase in the morning (Isaiah 37:36; 2Kings 19:35). The night intended can hardly be the one which followed the day when the prophecy was spoken (see 2Kings 19:29). The expression "in that night," may perhaps be compared with the prophetic "in that day," and understood to. mean simply "in that memorable night which was the occasion of this catastrophe." (Theuius sees in this clause an indication that the present section was derived from another source, probably from the one used by the chronicler in 2Chronicles 32:20-23. Reuss thinks this confirmed by the fact that neither the prediction in 2Kings 19:7, nor that of 2Kings 19:21-34, speaks of so great and so immediate an overthrow.)
The angel of the Lord went out.—the destroying angel, who smote the firstborn of the Egyptians (Exodus 12:12-13; Exodus 12:23), and smote Israel after David's census (2Samuel 24:15-17). These passages undoubtedly favour the view that the Assyrian army was devastated by pestilence, as Josephus asserts. Others have suggested the agency of a simoom, a storm with lightning, an earthquake, &c. In any case, a supernatural causation is involved not only in the immense number slain, and that in one night (Psalm 91:6), but in the coincidence of the event with the predictions of Isaiah, and with the crisis in the history of the true religion:
"Vuolsi così colà dove si puote
Ciò che si vuole; e più non dimandare."
In the camp of the Assyrians.—Where this is was not said. That it was not before Jerusalem appears from 2Kings 19:32-33; and the well-known narrative of Herodotus (ii. 141) fixes Egypt, the land of plagues, as the scene of the catastrophe. "Of the details of the catastrophe, which the Bible narrative is content to characterize as the act of God, the Assyrian monuments contain no record, because the issue of the campaign gave them nothing to boast of; but an Egyptian account, preserved by Herodotus, though full of fabulous circumstances, shows that in Egypt, as well as in Judea, it was recognized as a direct intervention of Divine power. The disaster did not break the power of the great king, who continued to reign for twenty years, and waged many other victorious wars. But none the less it must have been a very grave blow, the effects of which were felt throughout the empire, and permanently modified the imperial policy; for in the following year Chaldea was again in revolt, and to the end of his reign Sennacherib never renewed his attack upon Judah" (Robertson Smith).
And when they arose early.—The few who were spared found, not sick and dying, but corpses, all around them. (Comp. Exodus 12:33: "They said, we be all dead men.") (1)

Regarding Archangels:
"Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." (Jude 1:9)
From Matthew Poole's Commentary regarding an Archangel:
"Michael the archangel: either this is understood of Christ the Prince of angels, who is often in Scripture called an Angel, or of a created angel; and that either:
1. One of the archangels: Daniel 10:13, Michael is called one of the chief princes, which though the word archangel be not found in the plural number in Scripture, may well imply a plurality of them; for what is one of the chief princes among the angels, but an archangel? Or:
2. A principal angel, or one that is chief among others.
When contending with the devil; it may be meant either of Christ contending with the devil, as Matthew 4:1-25, in his temptation, and Zechariah 3:1,2, and Revelation 12:7; or rather, of Michael, a created angel.
He disputed about the body of Moses:
1. If Michael the archangel be meant of Christ, then the body of Moses may be taken figuratively, for that body whereof the Mosaical ceremonies were shadows, Colossians 2:17, i.e. the truth and accomplishment of the law given by Moses; that accomplishment was to be in Christ, who is represented by Joshua, Zechariah 3:1-10: him Satan resists in the execution of his office, and by him strikes at Christ, whose type he was, and whom he afterward opposeth in the execution of his office, when he was come in the flesh. Or:
2. If we take Michael for a created angel, which agrees best with the parallel place in Peter, then the body of Moses must be taken properly, (as most take it), and the dispute seems to be: Whether Moses's body should be so buried as to be concealed from the Israelites? Deut. 34:6, it is said God buried him, (which might be by the ministry of Michael the archangel), and that no man knoweth of his sepulchre. The devil opposeth the angel, desiring to have the place of his burial known, that in after-times it might be a snare to that people, and a means to bring them to idolatry. And this seems very probable, if we consider what work the devil hath made in the world with the bodies of saints and martyrs, and how much idolatry he hath brought in thereby. This passage Jude, most probably, had (as was observed in the argument) from some known tradition among the Jews, the truth of which we are now sure of, because certified here concerning it.
Durst not bring against him; or, could not endure, (as the Greek word is often taken among profane writers), or find in his heart, not from fear of punishment, but by reason of the holiness of his own nature, and to give an example to us. And this sense agrees to the scope of the place, whether we understand it of Christ, or of a created angel, Hebrews 12:3 1Peter 2:23.
A railing accusation: see 2Peter 2:11.
But said, The Lord rebuke thee; i.e. put thee to silence, restrain thy insolence, hinder thy design, &c.: hereby the angel refers the cause to God." (2)
Regarding Cherubim:
"Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire." (Ezekiel 28:14)
From Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary on Cherub:
"14. Anointed cherub—Gesenius translates from an Aramaic root, "extended cherub." English Version, from a Hebrew root, is better. "The cherub consecrated to the Lord by the anointing oil" [Fairbairn].
covereth—The imagery employed by Ezekiel as a priest is from the Jewish temple, wherein the cherubim overshadowed the mercy seat, as the king of Tyre, a demi-god in his own esteem, extended his protection over the interests of Tyre. The cherub—an ideal compound of the highest kinds of animal existence and the type of redeemed man in his ultimate state of perfection—is made the image of the king of Tyre, as if the beau ideal of humanity. The pretensions of Antichrist are the ulterior reference, of whom the king of Tyre is a type. Compare "As God … in the temple of God" (2Th 2:4).
I have set thee—not thou set thyself (Prov. 8:16; Ro 13:1).
Upon the holy mountain of God—Zion, following up the image.
in … midst of … stones of fire—In ambitious imagination he stood in the place of God, "under whose feet was, as it were, a pavement of sapphire," while His glory was like "devouring fire" (Ex 24:10, 17)." (3)
Regarding Seraphim:
"In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain, he covered his face, and with twain, he covered his feet, and with twain, he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory." (Isaiah 6:1-3)
From Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers regarding Seraphim from Isaiah:
"(2) Above it stood the seraphims . . .—it is noticeable that this is the only passage in which the seraphim are mentioned as part of the host of heaven. In Numbers 21:6, the word (the primary meaning of which is the burning ones) occurs as denoting the fiery serpents that attacked the people in the wilderness. Probably the brazen serpent which Hezekiah afterwards destroyed (2Kings 18:4) had preserved the name and its significance as denoting the instruments of the fiery judgments of Jehovah. Here, however, there is no trace of the serpent form, nor again, as far as the description goes, of the animal forms of the cherubim of Ezekiel 1:5-11, and of the "living creatures" of Revelation 4:7-8. The "burning ones" are in the likeness of men, with the addition of the six wings. The patristic and mediaeval distinction between the seraphim that excel in love, and the cherubim that excel in knowledge, rests apparently on the etymology of the former word. The "living creatures" of Revelation 4:7-8, seem to unite the forms of the cherubim of Ezekiel with the six wings of the seraphim of this passage. Symbolically the seraphim would seem to be as transfigured cherubim, representing the "flaming fire" of the lightning, as the latter did the storm-winds and other elemental forces of nature (Psalm 104:4)." (4)
Angels are not to be worshiped:
"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Revelation 19:10)
Rarely does one find an entry as detailed as the following.
Angel from the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia:
an'-jel (mal'akh; Septuagint and New Testament, aggelos):
I. Definition and Scripture Terms.
The word angel is applied in Scripture to an order of supernatural or heavenly beings whose business it is to act as God's messengers to men, and as agents who carry out His will. Both in Hebrew and Greek the word is applied to human messengers (1Ki 19:2; Lu 7:24); in Hebrew it is used in the singular to denote a Divine messenger, and in the plural for human messengers, although there are exceptions to both usages. It is applied to the prophet Haggai (Hag 1:13), to the priest (Mal 2:7), and to the messenger who is to prepare the way of the Lord (Mal 3:1). Other Hebrew words and phrases applied to angels are bene ha-'elohim (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1) and bene 'elim (Ps 29:1; 89:6), i.e. sons of the 'elohim or 'elim; this means, according to a common Hebrew usage, members of the class called 'elohim or 'elim, the heavenly powers. It seems doubtful whether the word 'elohim, standing by itself, is ever used to describe angels, although Septuagint so translates it in a few passages. The most notable instance is Ps 8:5; where the Revised Version (British and American) gives, "Thou hast made him but little lower than God," with the English Revised Version, margin reading of "the angels" for "God" (compare Heb. 2:7,9); qedhoshim "holy ones" (Ps 89:5,7), a name suggesting the fact that they belong to God; `ir, `irim, "watcher," "watchers" (Da 4:13,17,23). Other expressions are used to designate angels collectively: codh, "council" (Ps 89:7), where the reference may be to an inner group of exalted angels; `edhah and qahal, "congregation" (Ps 82:1; 89:5); and finally tsabha', tsebha'oth, "host," "hosts," as in the familiar phrase "the God of hosts."
In New Testament the word aggelos, when it refers to a Divine messenger, is frequently accompanied by some phrase which makes this meaning clear, e.g. "the angels of heaven" (Mt 24:36). Angels belong to the "heavenly host" (Lu 2:13). In reference to their nature they are called "spirits" (Heb. 1:14). Paul evidently referred to the ordered ranks of supra-mundane beings in a group of words that are found in various combinations, namely, archai, "principalities," exousiai, "powers," thronoi, "thrones," kuriotetes, "dominions," and dunameis, also translated "powers." The first four are apparently used in a good sense in Col 1:16, where it is said that all these beings were created through Christ and unto Him; in most of the other passages in which words from this group occur, they seem to represent evil powers. We are told that our wrestling is against them (Eph. 6:12), and that Christ triumphs over the principalities and powers (Col 2:15; compare Ro 8:38; 1Co 15:24). In two passages the word archaggelos, "archangel" or chief angel, occurs: "the voice of the archangel" (1Th 4:16), and "Michael the archangel" (Jude 1:9).
II. Angels in Old Testament.
1. Nature, Appearances and Functions:
Everywhere in the Old Testament, the existence of angels is assumed. The creation of angels is referred to in Ps 148:2, 5 (compare Col 1:16). They were present at the creation of the world, and were so filled with wonder and gladness that they "shouted for joy" (Job 38:7). Of their nature, we are told nothing. In general, they are simply regarded as embodiments of their mission. Though presumably the holiest of created beings, they are charged by God with folly (Job 4:18), and we are told that "he putteth no trust in his holy ones" (Job 15:15). References to the fall of the angels are only found in the obscure and probably corrupt passage Ge 6:1-4, and in the interdependent passages 2Pe 2:4 and Jude 1:6, which draw their inspiration from the Apocryphal book of Enoch. Demons are mentioned (see DEMON); and although Satan appears among the sons of God (Job 1:6; 2:1), there is a growing tendency in later writers to attribute to him a malignity that is all his own (see SATAN).
As to their outward appearance, it is evident that they bore the human form, and could at times be mistaken for men (Ezekiel 9:2; Ge 18:2, 16). There is no hint that they ever appeared in female form. The conception of angels as winged beings, so familiar in Christian art, finds no support in Scripture (except, perhaps Da 9:21; Re 14:6, where angels are represented as "flying"). The cherubim and seraphim (see CHERUB; SERAPHIM) are represented as winged (Ex 25:20; Isa 6:2); winged also are the symbolic living creatures of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:6; compare Re 4:8).
As above stated, angels are messengers and instruments of the Divine will. As a rule they exercise no influence in the physical sphere. In several instances, however, they are represented as destroying angels: two angels are commissioned to destroy Sodom (Ge 19:13); when David numbers the people, an angel destroys them by pestilence (2Sa 24:16); it is by an angel that the Assyrian army is destroyed (2Ki 19:35); and Ezekiel hears six angels receiving the command to destroy those who were sinful in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 9:1,5,7). In this connection should be noted the expression "angels of evil," i.e. angels that bring evil upon men from God and execute His judgments (Ps 78:49; compare 1Sa 16:14). Angels appear to Jacob in dreams (Ge 28:12; 31:11). The angel who meets Balaam is visible first to the ass, and not to the rider (Nu 22:1-41 ff). Angels interpret God's will, showing man what is right for him (Job 33:23). The idea of angels as caring for men also appears (Ps 91:11 f), although the modern conception of the possession by each man of a special guardian angel is not found in Old Testament.
2. The Angelic Host:
The phrase "the host of heaven" is applied to the stars, which were sometimes worshipped by idolatrous Jews (Jer. 33:22; 2Ki 21:3; Zep 1:5); the name is applied to the company of angels because of their countless numbers (compare Da 7:10) and their glory. They are represented as standing on the right and left hand of Yahweh (1Ki 22:19). Hence God, who is over them all, is continually called throughout Old Testament "the God of hosts," "Yahweh of hosts," "Yahweh God of hosts"; and once "the prince of the host" (Da 8:11). One of the principal functions of the heavenly host is to be ever praising the name of the Lord (Ps 103:21; 148:1 f). In this host, there are certain figures that stand out prominently, and some of them are named. The angel who appears to Joshua calls himself "prince of the host of Yahweh" (Jos 5:14 f). The glorious angel who interprets to Daniel the vision which he saw in the third year of Cyrus (Da 10:5), like the angel who interprets the vision in the first year of Belshazzar (Da 7:16), is not named; but other visions of the same prophet were explained to him by the angel Gabriel, who is called "the man Gabriel," and is described as speaking with "a man's voice" (Da 9:21; 8:15 f). In Daniel, we find occasional reference made to "princes": "the prince of Persia," "the prince of Greece" (Da 10:20). These are angels to whom is entrusted the charge of, and possibly the rule over, certain peoples. Most notable among them is Michael, described as "one of the chief princes," "the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people," and, more briefly, "your prince" (Da 10:13; 12:1; 10:21), Michael is therefore regarded as the patron-angel of the Jews. In Apocrypha Raphael, Uriel and Jeremiel are also named. Of Raphael it is said (Tobit 12:15) that he is "one of the seven holy angels who present the prayers of the saints" to God (compare Re 8:2, "the seven angels that stand before God"). It is possible that this group of seven is referred to in the above-quoted phrase, "one of the chief princes". Some (notably Kosters) have maintained that the expressions "the sons of the 'elohim," God's "council" and "congregation," refer to the ancient gods of the heathen, now degraded and wholly subordinated to Yahweh. This rather daring speculation has little support in Scripture; but we find traces of a belief that the patron-angels of the nations have failed in establishing righteousness within their allotted sphere on earth, and that they will accordingly be punished by Yahweh their over-Lord (Isa 24:21 f; Ps 82:1-8; compare Ps 58:1 f the Revised Version, margin; compare Jude 1:6).
3. The Angel of the Theophany:
This angel is spoken of as "the angel of Yahweh," and "the angel of the presence (or face) of Yahweh." The following passages contain references to this angel: Ge 16:7 ff–the angel and Hagar; Ge 18:1-33–Abraham intercedes with the angel for Sodom; Ge 22:11 ff–the angel interposes to prevent the sacrifice of Isaac; Ge 24:7,40–Abraham sends Eliezer and promises the angel's protection; Ge 31:11 ff–the angel who appears to Jacob says "I am the God of Beth-el"; Ge 32:24 ff–Jacob wrestles with the angel and says, "I have seen God face to face"; Ge 48:15 f–Jacob speaks of God and the angel as identical; Ex 3:1-22 (compare Ac 7:30 ff)–the angel appears to Moses in the burning bush; Ex 13:21; 14:19 (compare Nu 20:16)–God or the angel leads Israel out of Egypt; Ex 23:20 ff–the people are commanded to obey the angel; Ex 32:34 through Ex 33:17 (compare Isa 63:9)–Moses pleads for the presence of God with His people; Jos 5:13 through Jos 6:2–the angel appears to Joshua; Judges 2:1-5–the angel speaks to the people; Judges 6:11 ff–the angel appears to Gideon.
A study of these passages shows that while the angel and Yahweh are at times distinguished from each other, they are with equal frequency, and in the same passages, merged into each other. How is this to be explained? It is obvious that these apparitions cannot be the Almighty Himself, whom no man hath seen, or can see. In seeking the explanation, special attention should be paid to two of the passages above cited. In Ex 23:20 ff God promises to send an angel before His people to lead them to the promised land; they are commanded to obey him and not to provoke him "for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him." Thus, the angel can forgive sin, which only God can do, because God's name, i.e. His character and thus His authority, are in the angel. Further, in the passage Ex. 32:34 through Ex. 33:17 Moses intercedes for the people after their first breach of the covenant; God responds by promising, "Behold mine angel shall go before thee"; and immediately after God says, "I will not go up in the midst of thee." In answer to further pleading, God says, "My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest." Here a clear distinction is made between an ordinary angel, and the angel who carries with him God's presence. The conclusion may be summed up in the words of Davidson in his Old Testament Theology: "In particular providences one may trace the presence of Yahweh in influence and operation; in ordinary angelic appearances one may discover Yahweh present on some side of His being, in some attribute of His character; in the angel of the Lord He is fully present as the covenant God of His people, to redeem them." The question still remains, Who is theophanic angel? To this many answers have been given, of which the following may be mentioned: (1) This angel is simply an angel with a special commission; (2) He may be a momentary descent of God into visibility; (3) He may be the Logos, a kind of temporary preincarnation of the second person of the Trinity. Each has its difficulties, but the last is certainly the most tempting to the mind. Yet it must be remembered that at best these are only conjectures that touch on a great mystery. It is certain that from the beginning God used angels in human form, with human voices, in order to communicate with man; and the appearances of the angel of the Lord, with his special redemptive relation to God's people, show the working of that Divine mode of self-revelation which culminated in the coming of the Saviour, and are thus a fore-shadowing of, and a preparation for, the full revelation of God in Jesus Christ. Further than this, it is not safe to go.
III. Angels in New Testament.
1. Appearances:
Nothing is related of angels in New Testament, which is inconsistent with the teaching of Old Testament on the subject. Just as they are specially active in the beginning of Old Testament history, when God's people is being born, so they appear frequently in connection with the birth of Jesus, and again when a new order of things begins with the resurrection. An angel appears three times in dreams to Joseph (Mt 1:20; 2:13, 19). The angel Gabriel appears to Zacharias, and then to Mary in the annunciation (Lu 1:1-80). An angel announces to the shepherds the birth of Jesus, and is joined by a "multitude of the heavenly host," praising God in celestial song (Lu 2:8 ff). When Jesus is tempted, and again during the agony at Gethsemane, angels appear to Him to strengthen His soul (Mt 4:11; Lu 22:43). The verse which tells how an angel came down to trouble the pool (Joh 5:4) is now omitted from the text as not being genuine. An angel descends to roll away the stone from the tomb of Jesus (Mt 28:2); angels are seen there by certain women (Lu 24:23) and (two) by Mary Magdalene (Joh 20:12). An angel releases the apostles from prison, directs Philip, appears to Peter in a dream, frees him from prison, smites Herod with sickness, appears to Paul in a dream (Ac 5:19; 8:26; 10:3; 12:7 ff; Ac 12:23; 27:23). Once they appear clothed in white; they are so dazzling in appearance as to terrify beholders; hence they begin their message with the words "Fear not" (Mt 28:2-5).
2. The Teaching of Jesus about Angels:
It is quite certain that our Lord accepted the main teachings of Old Testament about angels, as well as the later Jewish belief in good and bad angels. He speaks of the "angels in heaven" (Mt 22:30), and of "the devil and his angels" (Mt 25:41). According to our Lord the angels of God are holy (Mark 8:38); they have no sex or sensuous desires (Mt 22:30); they have high intelligence, but they know not the time of the Second Coming (Mt 24:36); they carry (in a parable) the soul of Lazarus to Abraham's bosom (Lu 16:22); they could have been summoned to the aid of our Lord, had He so desired (Mt 26:53); they will accompany Him at the Second Coming (Mt 25:31) and separate the righteous from the wicked (Mt 13:41, 49). They watch with sympathetic eyes the fortunes of men, rejoicing in the repentance of a sinner (Lu 15:10; compare 1Pe 1:12; Eph. 3:10; 1Co 4:9); and they will hear the Son of Man confessing or denying those who have confessed or denied Him before men (Lu 12:8 f). The angels of the presence of God, who do not appear to correspond to our conception of guardian angels, are specially interested in God's little ones (Mt 18:10). Finally, the existence of angels is implied in the Lord's Prayer in the petition, "Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth" (Mt 6:10).
3. Other New Testament References:
Paul refers to the ranks of angels ("principalities, powers" etc.) only in order to emphasize the complete supremacy of Jesus Christ. He teaches that angels will be judged by the saints (1Co 6:3). He attacks the incipient Gnosticism of Asia Minor by forbidding the, worship of angels (Col 2:18). He speaks of God's angels as "elect," because they are included in the counsels of Divine love (1Ti 5:21). When Paul commands the women to keep their heads covered in church because of the angels (1Co 11:10) he probably means that the angels, who watch all human affairs with deep interest, would be pained to see any infraction of the laws of modesty. In Hebrews 1:14 angels are (described as ministering spirits engaged in the service of the saints. Peter also emphasizes the supremacy of our Lord over all angelic beings (1Pe 3:22). The references to angels in 2Peter and Jude are colored by contact with Apocrypha literature. In Revelation, where the references are obviously symbolic, there is very frequent mention of angels. The angels of the seven churches (Re 1:20) are the guardian angels or the personifications of these churches. The worship of angels is also forbidden (Re 22:8 f). Specially interesting is the mention of elemental angels—"the angel of the waters" (Re 16:5), and the angel "that hath power over fire" (Re 14:18; compare Re 7:1; 19:17). Reference is also made to the "angel of the bottomless pit," who is called ABADDON or APOLLYON (which see), evidently an evil angel (Re 9:11 the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) "abyss"). In Re 12:7 ff we are told that there was war between Michael with his angels and the dragon with his angels.
IV. Development of the Doctrine.
In the childhood of the race, it was easy to believe in God, and He was very near to the soul. In Paradise, there is no thought of angels; it is God Himself who walks in the garden. A little later, the thought of angels appears, but, God has not gone away, and as "the angel of Yahweh" He appears to His people and redeems them. In these early times the Jews believed that there were multitudes of angels, not yet divided in thought into good and bad; these had no names or personal characteristics, but were simply embodied messages. Till the time of the captivity the Jewish angelology shows little development. During that dark period they came into close contact with a polytheistic people, only to be more deeply confirmed in their monotheism thereby. They also became acquainted with the purer faith of the Persians, and in all probability viewed the tenets of Zoroastrianism with a more favorable eye, because of the great kindness of Cyrus to their nation. There are few direct traces of Zoroastrianism in the later angelology of the Old Testament. It is not even certain that the number seven as applied to the highest group of angels is Persian in its origin; the number seven was not wholly disregarded by the Jews. One result of the contact was that the idea of a hierarchy of the angels was more fully developed. The conception in Dan of angels as "watchers," and the idea of patron-princes or angel-guardians of nations may be set down to Persian influence. It is probable that contact with the Persians helped the Jews to develop ideas already latent in their minds. According to Jewish tradition, the names of the angels came from Babylon. By this time the consciousness of sin had grown more intense in the Jewish mind, and God had receded to an immeasurable distance; the angels helped to fill the gap between God and man.
The more elaborate conceptions of Daniel and Zechariah are further developed in Apocrypha, especially in 2Esdras, Tobit and 2Macc.
In the New Testament, we find that there is little further development; and by the Spirit of God its writers were saved from the absurdly puerile teachings of contemporary Rabbinism. We find that the Sadducees, as contrasted with the Pharisees, did not believe in angels or spirits (Ac 23:8). We may conclude that the Sadducees, with their materialistic standpoint, and denial of the resurrection, regarded angels merely as symbolical expressions of God's actions. It is noteworthy in this connection that the great priestly document (Priestly Code, P) makes no mention of angels. The Book of Revelation naturally shows a close kinship to the books of Ezekiel and Daniel.
Regarding the rabbinical developments of angelology, some beautiful, some extravagant, some grotesque, but all fanciful, it is not necessary here to speak. The Essenes held an esoteric doctrine of angels, in which most scholars find the germ of the Gnostic eons.
V. The Reality of Angels.
A belief in angels, if not indispensable to the faith of a Christian, has its place there. In such a belief there is nothing unnatural or contrary to reason. Indeed, the warm welcome which human nature has always given to this thought is an argument in its favor. Why should there not be such an order of beings, if God so willed it? For the Christian the whole question turns on the weight to be attached to the words of our Lord. All are agreed that He teaches the existence, reality, and activity of angelic beings. Was He in error because of His human limitations? That is a conclusion, which it is very hard for the Christian to draw, and we may set it aside. Did He then adjust His teaching to popular belief, knowing that what He said was not true? This explanation would seem to impute deliberate untruth to our Lord, and must equally be set aside. So we find ourselves restricted to the conclusion that we have the guaranty of Christ's word for the existence of angels; for most Christians that will settle the question.
The visible activity of angels has come to an end, because their mediating work is done; Christ has founded the kingdom of the Spirit, and God's Spirit speaks directly to the spirit of man. This new and living way has been opened up to us by Jesus Christ, upon whom faith can yet behold the angels of God ascending and descending. Still they watch the lot of man, and rejoice in his salvation; still they join in the praise and adoration of God, the Lord of hosts, still can they be regarded as "ministering spirits sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation."

Q: How to test the output current of a LED driver without a LED lamp? I have very basic knowledge of electronics but I have to design a circuit to control this LED driver (Constant Voltage + Constant Current LED Driver).
I already have a prototype and I need to test it, but I do not have a 20V LED lamp of 40W to check that the control is done correctly. That is, the output current is controlled by PWM or by 1-10V.
Instead of using the LED lamp as a load, could a 10-ohm 25W resistor be used? Or, is it enough to connect the ammeter directly to the output of the LED driver? Thank you.

A: An ammeter will need a load in order to measure the current flowing through the circuit. The Ammeter alone will not suffice.
You also answered your own question:

Instead of using the LED lamp as a load, could a 10-ohm 25W resistor
  be used?

Seeing as you want a 40W load, then no, this will not do. You would need a resistor that can take the 40W.
If you want to simulate a 40W load, then start again from the beginning. Ohms law is your friend here. Find the resistor you require, and just make sure you have one that can take the current/power.
R = V/I
P = I^2*R or V^2/R or I*V
Use those equations to find a resistor you want to use, work out the maximum power it would be handling, then find a component to match your answers. Fit the component as a dummy load, then connect your ammeter in series with the circuit to measure the current.
Or, to make it much easier on yourself, just get yourself the 40W LED bulb you require...... they are pretty common.

Q: Beamer Title Inside Node -- Line Break I am creating my own beamer theme, and the way I have conceived the title page needs the title to be inside a tikzpicture node, in this form:
    \node [anchor=center] (title) at ($(box)+(0,.25)$) {%
    \color{white}
        {\usebeamerfont{title}\inserttitle}
        };

It works perfectly until I need to insert long titles and need to break the lines...
If I do:
\title[academic background \& research experience]
  {Academic background \& \\ Research experience}

I get the error:

In IVF treatment, injections are given to obtain eggs from ovaries. Some of the eggs collected may be immature and these eggs are matured in the laboratory before being fertilized. Thus the total number of eggs that can be fertilized is increased. IVM is suitable for patients suffering from PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and those at risk of Ovarian Hyper - Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS).
Before an embryo can attach to the walls of the womb, it has to break out or hatch from its outer layer called the zona pellucida. Assisted hatching is performed while the embryo is in the laboratory. Before being transferred back to the womb a hole is made in the outer layer of the embryo or it is thinned, using a laser. This helps the embryo hatch and increases the chances of successful implantation which increases pregnancy rates. In safe and experienced hands, this procedure keeps the embryo safe as the outer layer is operated on.
LASER -assisted ICSI differs from conventional ICSI. In this procedure, lasers are used to drill a small hole through the hard outer coating of the egg and a single sperm is then injected into the egg. The hole eliminates the compression of the egg that normally occurs with conventional ICSI. This in turn lowers the risk of damage, increases egg survival and ensures better embryo quality.
Most embryo transfers are performed on Day 3 of IVF. When an embryo is cultured in the lab for 5 to 6 days it forms a blastocyst. Blastocyst culture allows for the better selection of the embryos to be transferred and only requires a smaller number of embryos transfers to achieve a pregnancy. This helps to lower the risk of a multiple pregnancy.
Intracytoplasmic Morphological Sperm Injection (IMSI) is a technique in which sperm samples are examined under a microscope that is almost 6000 times more powerful than normal ICSI microscopes. This technique enables the fertility experts to choose the best quality sperm, without any defects, to inject into the egg, thereby improving the prospects of implantation and pregnancy. IMSI is indicated when the sperm sample is severely abnormal, when at least 2 previous ICSI treatments have failed or there is recurrent first trimester pregnancy loss after ICSI.
Only mature sperm have the capacity to bind to a mature egg. This binding capacity can be ascertained by the PICSI technique, allowing for only normal mature sperm with intact DNA, to be selected to perform ICSI with, thus increasing the chances of getting a better quality embryo and thus better chances at pregnancy.

Prince Charles praises UK citizens for home-growing veg

Prince Charles has praised the ''dig for victory spirit'' present in the UK amid the coronavirus pandemic, as more people began growing their own vegetables.
The 78-year-old royal has congratulated citizens of the UK who have begun to plant their own produce in their garden amid the global health crisis, as he says choosing to home grow instead of buying from supermarkets helps to limit ''food shortages''.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's 'Farming Today', he said: ''Perhaps there are one or two silver linings amongst the otherwise very dark clouds which have been affecting us all over the last three months and one of those is the issue of food. ''I was fascinated to hear that sales of vegetable seeds reached an all-time high as a 'dig for victory spirit' swept through the land and urban and country dwellers alike decided to requisition their gardens, allotments and window boxes to grow food in a way perhaps not seen since the Second World War.''
Charles has long been a passionate campaigner for climate change activism, and said the ''explosion of interest'' in home-grown produce could be the turning point for ''agricultural systems''.
He added: ''So, with the explosion of interest in local food, in box schemes and online sales, could a transformation of our food and agricultural systems be one of the lasting legacies of this very challenging period in human history?
''As we rethink our world in the wake of the pandemic, it is increasingly clear that the health and wellbeing of people and planet are inextricably linked.''
The royal's comments come after he previously expressed his concerns for the UK cheese industry and for musicians who have had concerts cancelled as a result of the pandemic.
Prince Charles also urged those who have lost their jobs or been furloughed during the pandemic to become fruit pickers in order to help boost the supply chain.
He said in May: ''At this time of great uncertainty, many of our normal routines and regular patterns of life are being challenged.
''The food and farming sector is no exception.
''If we are to harvest British fruit and vegetables this year, we need an army of people to help.
''Food does not happen by magic; it all begins with our remarkable farmers and growers.
''If the last few weeks have proved anything, it is that food is precious and valued, and it cannot be taken for granted.
''This is why that great movement of the Second World War - the Land Army - is being rediscovered in the newly-created 'Pick for Britain' campaign.
''In the coming months, many thousands of people will be needed to bring in the crops.''
