A Companion To Albert The Great UPDATED
This essay will focus primarily on Albert's treatise De corpore domini, a late work written most likely in the 1270s, several years after his years of pastoral concern as bishop of Regensburg.4 The work itself is both pastoral and doctrinal, arranged around six names for the Eucharist connected [End Page 748] to the liturgy: grace, gift, food, communion, sacrifice, and sacrament. There are large systematic sections of the work which echo the structure of articles in Albert's Commentary on the Sentences, but there are also poetic passages, meant to stir the devotion of the reader through beautiful language. The pastoral-devotional character of De corpore domini means that this work shows a stronger attentiveness to the beauty of the Eucharist than Albert's other Eucharistic writings.5 Albert does not explicitly analyze the beauty of the Eucharist in this work. Rather, he assumes it, refers to it, and seeks to add to it by himself surrounding the Eucharist in beautifully crafted words. Albert's other significant works which treat the Eucharist are his commentary on the Mass, De mysterio missa, which was written as a companion-work to De corpore domini, and two early works from the 1240s: a short treatise on the sacraments, De sacramentis, and his more detailed Commentary on the Sentences.6

It is said that the greatest encyclopedic mind of the century, the medieval memory master, began to lose his memory in the last weeks of his life. He retained the ability to say Mass, as he had done for so many years, but he removed himself ever more from the world, content to pray in his garden and his cell. The boots that had taken him all across Europe carried him daily to the site he had selected as the resting place of his body, as he prayerfully and peacefully prepared for the inevitable day of his death. His spirit strove solely to cleave closer to God.
The best grasses for alfalfa hay companions are meadow fescue, tall fescue (soft-leaved and endophyte-free), and orchardgrass. For milking herds, meadow fescue, with the highest quality of these (in northern climates), is a great choice. For more diversity and higher grass yields in this mix, include some tall fescue or orchardgrass. For growing beef in the feedlot or dry cows, tall fescue and orchardgrass are excellent choices. Meadow bromegrass can be a good addition to a diverse hay mix, particularly in hotter and drier areas; Alaska bromegrass can also add diversity and is extremely winter hardy.
Grass comprising 40% or less of a mix with alfalfa will get the nitrogen needed for growth from the companion alfalfa plants. When grass percentages climb above 40%, supplemental N may be needed to optimize yields.
The pulsar test subjects spin very fast - around 44 times a second - and are 30% more massive than the sun but are only 15 miles (around 24 kilometers) in diameter, making them incredibly dense. This means that their gravitational pull is immense, for example, on the surface of a neutron star gravity is around 1 billion times stronger than its pull on Earth. This makes neutron stars a great test subject to challenge predictions in Einstein's theories, such as the ability of gravity to bend light.
"We follow the propagation of radio photons emitted from a cosmic lighthouse, a pulsar, and track their motion in the strong gravitational field of a companion pulsar," Professor Ingrid Stairs from the University of British Columbia at Vancouver said in a statement.
"We see for the first time how the light is not only delayed due to a strong curvature of spacetime around the companion, but also that the light is deflected by a small angle of 0.04 degrees that we can detect. Never before has such an experiment been conducted at such a high spacetime curvature" Stairs adds.
Queen Elizabeth II was well known for her love of dogs, and corgis have become an internationally recognised symbol of her reign. This follows a long tradition of the royal family keeping dogs for their companionship and unquestioning loyalty, setting a precedent for Britain to become a nation of animal lovers. In the seventeenth century Charles I made popular the King Charles spaniel, several of which feature in court portraits by Sir Anthony van Dyck. It was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert however who first documented their large collection of domestic dogs, with Sir Edwin Landseer commissioned to paint their favourite pets including Dash, the spaniel who was Queen Victoria's childhood companion and Eos, the greyhound who accompanied Prince Albert from Germany.
It is photography however which has provided the greatest insight into the royal family's love of dogs. In 1854 Queen Victoria commissioned William Bambridge to systematically photograph the dogs in the Windsor kennels, a project which continued until the end of the queen's reign. Formal portraits continued to be commissioned but in the twentieth century the most compelling photographs of royal pets were taken by their owners. King George VI, a keen amateur photographer, took many charming photographs of his young daughters playing with the family's dogs.
Paro can learn its name, and how to get a particular handler to stroke it, leading to something of a relationship. Studies done over the years have shown that Paro and other companion robots can ameliorate anxiety, depression and social isolation in institutional settings. At the same time, their use has waned in the United States, perhaps because PARO costs $6,000 as a Class II Medical Device, though Shibata says Medicare and some insurance started to accept reimbursement of prescribed use of PARO for therapy. He says there are 5,000 Paros in use in more than 30 countries, mostly as companions for the elderly, including about 3,000 in Japan.
Scassellati was part of a team that in 2018 put social robots to work as therapeutic play partners in a month-long experiment with children, ages 6 to 12, with ASD. Each "cute," plastic, foot-high Jibo robot, which looks something like a desktop sunlamp, was modified to have two expressive eyes in its round face. For 30-minutes each day, one robot sat with one child and a caregiver, chatting, making eye contact and playing six interactive games. By the end of the month, the children all had improved in their ability to maintain eye contact and perform other social skills. The robots in Scassellati's experiment adapted to each child, a common characteristic of companion robots.
Scassellati says that the best thing companion robots like Paro do is to facilitate social interactions. For example, if middle school kids hear their grandmother has a new robot pet, they may ask Mom to take them to visit her in the nursing home. Other residents may drop by, too; the staff may linger to chat and marvel at the robot. The problem is that, eventually, the novelty wears off, and people stop coming around, Scassellati says.
Both Moyle and Scassellati spoke of difficulties that can arise when it's time to take a companion robot away from study subjects. "It does raise ethical concerns," says Moyle, though her subjects have been able to adjust satisfactorily to substitute faux-animal companions.
Scassellati notes that Japan is way ahead of the United States in embracing robot helpers, partly due to a more accepting culture. In Japan, families might go to considerable expense to obtain a robot companion for their older adults.
Companion planting is a great way to maximize the efficiency of your garden. For almost every vegetable you grow, there is likely to be a beneficial companion plant that will help increase soil nutrients, chase away pests, and help you get the most out of your garden. Here are the 10 most popular vegetables grown in the United States and their friends (and foes) in the garden.
Friends: Basil and tomatoes were made to go together, not only in sauces but in the garden, too. This herb helps tomatoes produce greater yields and it repels both flies and mosquitoes. Marigolds are another good companion, repelling nematodes and other garden pests. Other friends to tomatoes include asparagus, carrots, celery, the onion family, lettuce, parsley, and spinach.
Friends: Plant mint among your lettuce to keep away the slugs that feed on lettuce leaves, or plant chives and garlic to repel aphids. Beans, beets, broccoli, carrots, corn, peas, radishes, and marigolds also work as good companion plants. Marigolds attract aphid-eating ladybugs.
Friends: Corn and squash make good companion plants since the cornstalks give squash vines a place to grow. Squash also does well planted alongside beans, peas, radishes, dill, and marigolds.
Friends: Carrots are heat sensitive, which is why they go well with tomato plants that can provide them a bit of shade. Tomatoes are also known to produce solanine, which is a natural insecticide that targets pests affecting carrot plants. Tomatoes benefit from carrots, too. Carrots aerate the soil around the roots of the tomato plants, allowing more air and water to reach the roots. Leeks and carrots are also good companion plants since leeks repel carrot flies and carrots repel leek moths and onion flies. Rosemary, sage, and chive also help repel carrot flies.
Wish there were more planting companions listed like, Strawberries, Blue berries, okra, peas ETC. I know I planted Greek oregano under my blue berry bushes and it did well and we also did not have a ton of pest around it plus it produced better than the others. I have tried Strawberries9 we just started growing them this year) with onions as their neighbors the plants grew well but I did not see any strawberries on them this year.
Melons are one of the most compatible plants in the garden and do well when planted with peas, pole beans, bush beans, onions, leeks, chives, and garlic. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, kale, okra, spinach, sunflowers, lettuce, and Brussels sprouts also flourish in the companionship of melons. 041b061a72
