Quasar may be embedded in unusually dusty galaxy

ScienceDaily (Oct. 23, 2012) ? Hubble astronomers have looked at one of the most distant and brightest quasars in the universe and are surprised by what they did not see: the underlying host galaxy of stars feeding the quasar. The best explanation is that the galaxy is shrouded in so much dust that the stars are completely hidden everywhere. Astronomers believe that the James Webb Space Telescope will reveal the galaxy.

All but the very first galaxies contain some dust -- the early universe was dust-free until the first generation of stars started making dust through nuclear fusion. As these stars aged and burned out, they filled interstellar space with this dust as they lost their atmospheres. The quasar dates back to an early time in the universe's history -- less than one billion years after the big bang -- but was known to contain large amounts of dust from previous sub-millimeter observations. What surprised the researchers is how completely the dust is shrouding starlight within the galaxy -- none of the starlight seems to be leaking out from around the quasar.

Quasars (short for quasi-stellar object) are the brilliant cores of galaxies where infalling material fuels a super-massive black hole. The black hole is so engorged that some of the energy escapes as powerful blasts of radiation from the surrounding disk of accreting material. This light can appear as a jet-like feature. If the beam shines in Earth's direction the "accretion disk" and jet surrounding the super-massive black hole can appear as a quasar that can outshine its surrounding galaxy a hundred or a thousand times.

The team speculates that the black hole is devouring the equivalent mass of a few suns per year. It may have been eating at a more voracious rate earlier to bulk up to an estimated mass of three billion solar masses in just a few hundred million years.

"If you want to hide the stars with dust, you need to make lots of short-lived massive stars earlier on that lose their mass at the end of their lifetime. You need to do this very quickly, so supernovae and other stellar mass-loss channels can fill the environment with dust very quickly," said Rogier Windhorst of Arizona State University (ASU), Tempe, Ariz. "You also have to be forming them throughout the galaxy to spread the dust throughout the galaxy," added Matt Mechtley, also of ASU.

The quasar was first identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Only a handful of these very distant ultra-luminous quasars were found by the SDSS in about one quarter of the whole sky. Follow-up observations at sub-millimeter wavelengths detected significant dust within the galaxy, but did not show how and where dust was distributed, and if or where star-clusters might be visible through the dust. Most nearby galaxies -- even if rather dusty -- still have some regions where stars or star-clusters poke through the dust.

Hubble was used to very carefully subtract light from the quasar image and look for the glow of surrounding stars. The team accomplished this by looking at the glow of a reference star in the sky near the quasar and using it as a template to remove the quasar light from the image. Once the quasar was removed, no significant underlying starlight was detected. The underlying galaxy's stars could have been easily detected, had they been present and relatively unobscured by dust in at least some locations.

"It is remarkable that Hubble didn't find any of the underlying galaxy," said Windhorst. "The underlying galaxy is everywhere much fainter than expected, and therefore must be in a very dusty environment throughout. It's one of the most rip-roaring forest fires in the universe. It's creating so much smoke that you're not seeing any starlight, anywhere. The forest fire is complete, not a tree is spared."

"Because we don't see the stars, we can rule out that the galaxy that hosts this quasar is a normal galaxy," said Mechtley. "It's among the dustiest galaxies in the universe, and the dust is so widely distributed that not even a single clump of stars is peeking through. We're very close to a plausible detection, in the sense that if we had gone a factor of two deeper we might have detected some light from its young stars, even in such a dusty galaxy."

This result was published in the Sept. 10 issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters in a paper by M. Mechtley, R. Windhorst, and an international team of collaborators.

NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope will pursue this object. "The Webb telescope is designed to make a definitive detection of this," said Windhorst. We will get solid detections of the stars with Webb's better sensitivity to longer wavelengths of light, which will better probe the dusty regions in these young galaxies.

The Webb telescope will also have the infrared sensitivity to peer all the way back to 200 million years after the big bang. If galaxies started forming stars at this early epoch, Webb is designed and being built to detect them.

The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Md., conducts Hubble science operations and is the science and mission operations center for the James Webb Space Telescope. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., in Washington, D.C.

Smaller iPad expected Tuesday, but at what price?

NEW YORK (AP) ? The price tag remains a big question mark as Apple prepares Tuesday to unveil what is expected to be a smaller iPad.

In the case of the "iPad Mini" (the real name is not known), tech bloggers and analysts expect a device with a screen measuring 7.85 inches on the diagonal, making it about half the size of the regular iPad. It would be slightly larger than the 7-inch tablets it's presumably designed to compete with, including Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle Fire and Google Inc.'s Nexus 7.

Apple Inc. is expected to unveil the new device during a presentation in San Jose, Calif., starting at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT).

A Hands on Approach to Ministering to Seniors :: New Hope Digital

The following is condensed from an article by Joyce Mitchell. Now retired, Joyce served as the staff Leadership Development Team team leader for WMU, a one-million member nonprofit organization. She is a graduate of Wayne State University and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. She remains busy in her retirement, writing, traveling and volunteering.

In 2000, approximately 605 million people in the world were 60 or older. By 2050, that number is expected to be close to 2 billion. At that time, seniors will outnumber children 14 and under for the first time in history.[1]

The information below is designed to guide your launch of a ministry that connects with seniors.

Who are seniors?

Who seniors have been all their lives and how they have dealt with problems before old age will largely determine what they are like after they reach old age. Seniors face a laundry list of ?adjustments? as they mature, which may include:

  • Children who grow up and leave home
  • Death of spouse
  • Job relinquished to retirement
  • Severed ties with friends due to death or geographical distance
  • Loss of status
  • Perception of others that they are weak and inferior
  • Decrease in alertness or ability to remember
  • Physical disabilities
  • Chronic brain syndrome and/or Alzheimer?s
  • Depression
  • Need for institutional care

Obviously, these serious issues will stimulate questions such as: How can we help seniors maintain an appropriate level of independence? How can we bring comfort and relief to these men and women? How can we share the good news of Jesus Christ with them, whether in health or sickness?

Of course, there have been significant paradigm shifts in how senior adults are viewed within the church.[2] Once, church leaders might have felt the need to focus solely on ministry to senior adults. Today, seniors are known to be significant contributors in ministry to others as well. Who better to lead a ministry to seniors than seniors?

Those who are most successful in working with seniors are often characterized by

  • An ability to allow seniors as much independence as possible
  • Possessing an optimistic outlook on life
  • The ability to listen to what the senior is saying and what the senior means
  • The ability to see the positive aspects of aging
  • Possessing a degree of comfort in discussing death
  • Having time to give on a regular basis

What needs exist in our community?

Community agencies are often the most knowledgeable about seniors. Consider contacting:

  • Public welfare department
  • Public health department
  • Local hospitals
  • United Way
  • American Red Cross
  • Social Security Administration
  • County agencies on Aging
  • State department of Senior services

Ask:

  1. What services does your agency offer?
  2. Who is eligible for these services?
  3. What needs do you see that are not being met in the community?
  4. Do you use volunteers?
  5. Are there services that you could offer if there were volunteers available?

Also, consider a field trip to a nearby nursing home, observing the activities there and perhaps having a meal with the patients. If there is a day-care center in your community, spend the day there observing and talking with the members. Visit a seniors? activity meeting sponsored by the recreation department.

Contact other church groups in your community to discover what they are doing for and with senior adults.

A survey of your own church will identify retired persons who might be included in planning for ministering to and with seniors. Tap into skills that they have that might be resources in meeting needs of other senior adults.

Finally, do not overlook informal contacts such as neighbors and elderly members of their families as you seek to discover senior adults and learn about their needs.

What does a plan include?

The scale of your plan should reflect the number of volunteers on your team as well as the resources at your disposal. Plans generally fall into one of several categories:

Person-to-person activities such as visitation are among the most important, least expensive and hardest-to-get services for seniors. Friendly visitors alleviate loneliness and provide meaningful contact in the lives of senior adults. Consider other activities such as

  • ?adopting? an individual or a couple,
  • reading aloud to a senior,
  • shopping or running errands,
  • writing letters,
  • providing transportation,
  • being a telephone companion.

Each of these is an expression of caring and Christ?s love.

Nursing home ministries are best conducted in close cooperation with whomever is in charge at the facility. Consider

  • onsite Bible study or weekly worship experiences,
  • book mobile services,
  • sing-alongs,
  • special occasion parties,
  • providing and playing board games, puzzles or cards.

Often the nursing home staff will have suggestions for activities that are popular with the residents.

Ongoing activitiesare characterized by the need for cooperation of a group of people.

Typical ministries might include

  • barber and beauty services for the homebound,
  • handyman referral service,
  • onsite Bible classes and small prayer groups,
  • homemaker service.

Group activities may occur in small groups, and have the potential for expansion to large group programs. Consider making recreation the focus of the small group.

  • Camps and retreat programs,
  • Clubs for seniors are of great interest. The club purpose can range from social to informational to demonstrations to trips to nearby points of interest, etc.

Senior Day Care consists of offering a program of activities that meet the needs and desires of senior adults. Such a ministry involves

  • Securing space at a church or recreation center for one day each week,
  • Enlisting volunteers with special skills to teach those skills.

Counseling senior adults demands availability rather than professional counseling credentials. Valuable to this ministry are

  • Familiarity with agencies that can give specific information,
  • Willingness to listen and care.

Ongoing Learning

Ministry with seniors is enhanced as those involved grow in their understanding of and commitment to the audience. Following are a few suggested subjects for training.

Psychological Aspects of Senior Adults

  • Knutson, Lois D. Understanding the Senior Adult: A Tool for Wholistic Ministry. Baltimore, MD: The Alban Institute, 1999.
  • Morgan, Richard L. (ed.) Dimensions of Older Adult Ministry: A Handbook.? Louisville: Witherspoon Press, 2006.

Community Services for Seniors

  • Invite various speakers from the community based on topic/expertise (such as public assistance for aging, Social Security, Medicare, making a will, adult education for seniors, etc.)

Understanding Social Security and Medicare

  • Invite an employee from Social Security office or a public welfare worker who works with the elderly to present information and convene a discussion.

Involving Seniors in the Total Community

  • Invite a public health nurse, recreation leader, social worker, several seniors from the community, an employment service representative, etc. as outside experts.

Visiting Nursing Home residents

  • Invite an administrator, nurse or social worker from a nursing home to provide information about nursing home culture and needs. Also a family member of a nursing home resident could be a resource person.

http://health.usnews.com/health-news/best-nursing-homes/articles/2009/03/11/figure-out-whether-a-nursing-home-is-needed.html?PageNr=2

Counseling Senior Adults

  • Invite a pastor, social worker who works with the aging, or public health nurse who has special interest in the elderly to address this topic.

Understanding The Signs Of Stress For Proper Stress Management

It is always very important to follow a healthy way of life so that you do not face problems in life. A stress free life can really be beautiful. Lots of people every year suffer from stress and anxiety at different points of time and due to a number of reasons.

What Is Stress?

People fail to understand that stress and anxiety can actually lower the quality of life they lead. It is therefore very important for each and every person to learn stress management methods. You can easily practice some stress relieving methods to stay healthy.

It is very important to improve your lifestyle so that you can start working on stress management. But before that you need to learn about the signs of stress. You should understand that you are stressed when you start getting angry at the drop of the hat.

Perceiving Stress and Anxiety

At times you seem to be angry at things that are quite trivial. You even tend to get too angry when things do not go the right way. There are signs of stress as well. When you focus and think more about your problems than anything else then you surely seem to be stressed out.

You might spend all your energy and enthusiasm in thinking about the problem you have. But thinking about the problem will increase your stress level. The third sign of stress is unable to concentrate on your work.

The Key Identifiers

You might be thinking of other things while doing your work. You might be thinking about the way you react, how you feel, your problems and much more which is not more important than your work. This can lead to low productivity on your part.

If you are going through these three problem then you need immediate help and look for the right kind of stress relievers. The first thing that you need to do is bring changes in your diet. You should always have a healthy and balanced diet.

Diet Plays Significant Role

Your diet should include the right combination of vitamins, minerals, proteins and fiber. The right food will surely help you in changing your mood. You also need to check the intake of coffee. Coffee includes caffeine which might create problems with sleep. Hence restrict your caffeine intake as much as possible.

Check Your Sleep Cycle

Lots of people suffer from sleeping inefficiencies. It is very important to get a sound sleep that you get ready to start a fresh day every morning. To free your mind from stress and tension you can play a soft music or read light books before going to sleep.

These surely act as stress relievers and help you sleep tight. To perform proper stress management you must always stay away from achieving unattainable goals. Set small goals that can be easily reached and this way you can have peace in your mind.

Make sure you do not suppress your problems and fears inside you. Talk to a person your trust. It can either be a family member or a friend. This will help you feel lighter.
