WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists have found the oldest known example of an animal drawing: a red silhouette of a bull-like beast on the wall of a remote Indonesian cave. The sketch is at least 40,000 years old, slightly older than similar animal paintings found in famous caves in France and Spain. Until a few years ago, experts believed Europe was where our ancestors started drawing animals and other figures. But the age of the drawing reported Wednesday in the journal Nature, along with previous discoveries in Southeast Asia, suggest that figurative drawing appeared in both continents about the same time.

Solari has steered Madrid to three wins since he was promoted from reserve team last week to replace Julen Lopetegui with the team in slump and coming off a 5-1 rout by Barcelona. By indicating Solari was taking over “provisionally", Madrid made it clear that it was still searching for a permanent replacement.

Dublin, Nov. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Sterilization Equipment Market By Product And Service [Equipment (Moist Heat, Dry Heat, Hydrogen Peroxide, Ethylene Oxide), Consumables (Sterilization Indicators, Sterilant Cassettes), Services (E-Beam, EtO, Gamma)] - Global Forecast To 2023" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.The global sterilization market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% from 2018 to reach USD 10.51 billion by 2023, driven by the factors such as increasing volume of surgeries performed globally, growing need to reduce occurrences of HAIs, and focus on reducing the cost of healthcare by minimizing hospital readmissions attributed to HAIs.

Furthermore, the technological advancements in the medical device industry and increasing need for advanced sterilization equipment are expected to drive the technological growth of the sterilization equipment market by 2023.

The low temperature sterilizers segment dominated the sterilization equipment market. However, the radiation sterilization segment comprising, e-beam and gamma sterilizers is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to their benefits, such as shorter sterilization cycle time, lower cost of sterilization, and compatibility with majority of the advanced medical devices available in the market.

An in-depth analysis of the geographical scenario of the industry provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights about the five major geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) along with the coverage of major countries in each region. North America accounted for the largest share of the sterilization technologies market in 2017.

However, during the forecast period, the APAC market is expected to register the fastest CAGR. The growth in this geographic market is primarily attributed to the government initiatives to improve healthcare infrastructure in this region, increasing number of hospitals in this region, and rising number of surgeries being performed and thereby growing demand for sterilized instruments. India and China represent the fastest growing markets in this region and globally as well.

The major players operating in the sterilization technologies market are Steris, Getinge, Sotera Health, Advanced Sterilization Products, 3M, Belimed, MMM Group, Matachana Group, and Cantel Medical.

--------------------

*KROMI publishes corrected statement on the first quarter of FY 2018/2019 *

*- Revenues in the amount of EUR 17,570 thousand achieved*

*- Operating result (EBIT) burdened with special effects at EUR -1,275 thousand*

*- Operating result (EBIT before special effects) at EUR -360 thousand*

*Hamburg, November 8, 2018 - KROMI, a manufacturer-independent expert in optimising tool availability and tool deployment in machining operations, generated revenue of EUR 17,570 thousand in the 2018/2019 fiscal year (previous year: EUR 19,162 thousand). The result from operations (EBIT) amounted to EUR **-1,275 thousand (previous year: EUR 627 thousand). *

Revenue development in the first quarter of 2018/2019 varied considerably from region to region. While KROMI continued to report a marked decrease in revenue in Germany due to the discontinuation of a contract with a major customer, foreign business performed well, and partly offset the reduced revenue in Germany. Revenue in Germany reduced by 22.8 percent from EUR 11,342 thousand in the previous year to EUR 8,756 thousand, reflecting the aforementioned ending of a contract with a major customer, which had still made a significant contribution to prior-year revenue. The operating business outside Germany performed well with an overall increase of 12.7 percent, with revenue in European countries outside Germany registering a 16.2 percent year-on-year increase to EUR 7,003 thousand (EUR 6,026 thousand). In Brazil, revenue in terms of the Brazilian currency, the real, amounted to BRL 8,408 thousand, representing 26.2 percent growth compared with the previous year (BRL 6,663 thousand). Due to the weak real, this development in euros failed to contribute to better Group results. Revenue grew from EUR 1,794 thousand in the previous year to EUR 1,811 thousand.

CEO Bernd Paulini comments: "Although by acquiring new customers as well as expanding the activities for existing customers we have already offset around 50 percent of the reduction in revenue from the discontinued contract, total revenue was nevertheless down significantly compared with the previous year's level. Our operating result - in other words, EBIT adjusted to reflect non-operating effects - amounted to EUR -360 thousand. In order to more efficiently leverage the future potentials of our markets and our business model, we are realigning our product strategy and introducing significant structural measures to secure growth as well as to establish a significantly improved cost structure. We are convinced that the new product strategy will lead to expanded market penetration. The result is additionally burdened by a provision of EUR 650 thousand, which had to be formed in connection with the departure of a member of the Management Board on March 31, 2019."

With the competency areas of Tools, Technology, Logistics and Data, KROMI will offer a spectrum of top technical performance, maximum availability and comprehensive transparency. In future customers can select the service portfolio that suits them best and offers them the highest benefit. After overcoming the currently difficult situation, due to the unique competences in machining processes and the business expertise to the customers' needs, the Management Board considers KROMI optimally positioned to meet the forthcoming challenges, and looks to the future with optimism.

Over the course of the day, KROMI will make the full and corrected (IFRS) report for the first three months of its 2018/2019 fiscal year available for downloading on its website at www.kromi.de within the Investor Relations area.

Wisconsin native and Guatemalan martyr: Br. James Miller to be beatified

$
0
0
Vatican City, Nov 8, 2018 / 10:00 am (CNA).- Pope Francis Thursday approved the beatification of American Br. James Miller, who was martyred in 1982 in Guatemala.

The declarations were made following a meeting Nov. 7 with Cardinal Angelo Becciu, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints. Pope Francis gave his approval for Miller’s beatification, declaring he was killed “in hatred of the faith,” and advancing 23 other causes for canonization.

The pope also confirmed the heroic virtue of Servant of God Michael Giedrojć and approved his beatification.

Now-Bl. Michael Giedrojć was a brother of the Order of St. Augustine born in Lithuania around the year 1420. He died in Krakow, Poland on May 4, 1485.

Giedrojć was approved through an “equivalent beatification,” a process by which the pope may declare a person to be a “blessed” without the typical investigation and miracle, due to a long-standing recognition of the person’s holiness and virtue, usually in the place where he or she lived, called a “local cult.” The same process may be used for a canonization.

Br. James Alfred Miller, who was a religious brother of the Institute of the Brothers of Christian Schools (called Christian Brothers) was serving in Guatemala when he was shot to death by three hooded men in the afternoon of Feb. 13, 1982, dying instantly. He was 37.

Miller, who was born near Stevens Point, Wisconsin in 1944, took the habit of the Christian Brothers in August 1962.

He coached football, and taught Spanish, English, and religion in a high school in St. Paul, Minn. There his construction and maintenance abilities gained him the nickname "Brother Fix-It."

Miller was later sent to teach in Nicaragua, where under his leadership a school grew from 300 to 800 students and he supervised the construction of 10 new rural schools.

In July 1978 his superiors asked him to leave the country because of the danger amid the Sandinista Revolution. He returned to the U.S. and again taught high school.

He was sent to mission territory in Guatemala in 1981, teaching at a secondary school and at a center for studies for young indigenous Mayans from rural areas.

He was assassinated in February 1982, while standing on a ladder, repairing a wall of a school building.

Local authorities did not identify the gunmen.

Miller’s killing was one in a string of assassinations of priests and religious in the country, including that of Bl. Stanley Rother five months later.

Aware of the danger present to him in Guatemala, in one of his last letters before he died, Miller wrote: “I am personally weary of violence, but I continue to feel a strong commitment to the suffering poor of Central America. …the Church is being persecuted because of its option for the poor.”

“Aware of numerous dangers and difficulties, we continue working with faith and hope and trusting in God’s Providence. … I pray to God for the grace and strength to serve Him faithfully among the poor and oppressed in Guatemala. I place my life in His Providence. I place my trust in Him.”

The date of Miller’s beatification has not been announced but is expected to take place sometime in 2019.
 
In addition to Miller, Pope Francis Nov. 8 declared the martyrdom of Angelo Cuartas Cristobal and eight companions, alumni of the Seminary of Oviedo, Spain, who were killed in Oviedo between 1934-1937; and Mariano Mullerat i Soldevila, a layman and father, who was killed near Arbeca, Spain in 1936.

The pope also recognized miracles attributed to Venerable Edvige Carboni (1880-1952) and Benedetta Bianchi Porro (1936-1964), paving the way for their beatification.

The heroic virtue of nine other Catholics was also declared, advancing their causes along the path of beatification.

They are: Italian Bishop Giovanni Jacono (1873-1957); Filipino Bishop Alfredo Maria Obviar, founder of the Congregation of the Missionary Catechists of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus (1889-1978); Italian Fr. Giovanni Ciresola, founder of the Congregation of the Poor Servants of the Most Precious Blood-Cenacle of Charity (1902-1987); Italian Fr. Luigi Bosio (1909-1994); Italian Fr. Luigi Maria Raineri, member of the Congregation of the Clerics Regular of St. Paul (1895-1918); Spanish Sr. Maria Antonia di Gesu, member of the Discalced Carmelites (1700-1760); Spanish Sr. Arcangela Badosa Cuatrecasas, member of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel (1878-1918); Italian Sr. Maria Addolorata del Sacro Costato of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Passion of Jesus Christ (1920-1954); and Italian Lodovico Coccapani, lay member of the Secular Franciscan Order (1849-1931).
