Why Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad sahib for a long time held belief that Eisa AS (Jesus) was physically alive?
Critics of HMGA object that he held belief that Eisa AS was physically alive till the time he got impressed by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (the educationalist and founder of Aligar Muslim University), and for his own personal gain and to establish himself as substitute of Eisa AS.
In my recent overseas trip, a thought came to my mind that I hope will satisfy HMGA critics. It was regarding Masjid al-Qiblatayn (Per Wikipedia: Masjid al-Qiblatayn (Arabic: المسجد القبلتین), or the Mosque of the Two Qiblas, is a mosque in Medina that is historically important for Muslims as the place where, after the Islamic Prophet Muhammad received the command to change the direction of prayer (qibla) from Jerusalem to Mecca, the entire congregation led by a companion changed direction in prayer. Thus it uniquely contained two prayer niches (mihrabs). Recently the mosque was renovated; the old prayer niche facing Jerusalem was removed, and the one facing Mecca was left. The Qiblatayn Mosque is among the earliest mosques in Islam's history, along with Quba Mosque and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi, barring the Great Mosques of Mecca and Jerusalem, which are associated with earlier Prophets, in Islamic thought.).
Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWS use to pray facing Masjid al-Aqsa i.e. Jerusalem. Although his wish was he should be facing Kabbah i.e. Makkah but he kept facing Jesusalam even after migration to Madina. He was doing this in tradition of previous prophets, or the accepted norms of time, until he was directly commanded by Allah SWT during the prayer. To immediately implement Allah SWT command, while in state of prayer he walked towards the back of congregation and continued his prayer facing Makkah. It was 180 degree change in direction of Qibla.
Same was the case with HMGA. He held belief that Eisa AS was physically alive, as that was the accepted norm among Muslims, until he was directly corrected by Allah SWT. HMGA in this support provided reasons from Holy Quran.
HMGA was never directed by Allah SWT on the birth of Eisa AS. So he held the prevailing belief of fatherless birth of Eisa AS. He never discouraged others from accepting that Eisa AS was fathered by a man. Moreover mission of propagation of Islam and HMGA spreads with establishment of Death of Jesus and not Birth of Jesus.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad wrote in 1898, the same year in which Sir Syed Ahmad Khan died:
"(Sir) Syed sahib agreed with me in three matters. Firstly, as regards the issue of the death of Jesus. Secondly, when I published the announcement that the British government has a greater call on our duty than the Sultan of the Ottomon empire, Syed sahib supported my article and wrote that everyone should abide by it. Thirdly, as regards this book Umahaat-ul-Momineen (a scurrilous book against the Holy Prophet Muhammad) his view was that a refutation should be written, and no petition be sent (to the government to ban it). His practical actions show this because he started writing a refutation as his preferred way of response. Ah! If Syed sahib were alive today he would most certainly have openly supported my view. Anyhow, in such matters (i.e., responding to abusive literature against Islam) the method of action adopted by Syed sahib is an excellent example to all decent Muslims which they must follow." (Ruhani Khaza'in, v. 13, p. 402; bolding as in original.)
Sir Syed did not believe that Jesus was born without a human being as his father. I have extracted the relevant pages from his Urdu commentary of the Quran at this link. Hazrat Mirza sahib did not agree with Sir Syed on this.

What Rashid points out is in line with code of conduct of an appointee. As a matter of doctrine an appointee one can only state what he is told by God. For example, the Prophet conveyed the monotheistic base of Islam, not because he wished it so, but was explicitly told to do so:
18:110. Say: I am only a mortal like you — it is revealed to me that your God is one God… [Muhammad Ali – Zahid Aziz]
Even the companions of the prophet sought distinction from him about his opinions whether they were his personal or ordained. They learned by experience that the Prophet at times can be inaccurate in his assessment that we see in his opinion in the matter of pollination practices of owners of date orchards in Medina. He opined against the manual pollination and the next crop yield was less than what was expected. Later, at the Battle of Badr, he was asked to clarify the basis of his decision in setting camp location for his contingent. Once he admitted that it was his personal decision, he was offered a counter opinion to which he agreed and ordered relocation of the camp. Similarly, HMGA separated his personal opinions from those ordained to him.

Q: Refactoring method reduce cognitive complexity for switch case Hello I am having difficulty to reduce cognitive complexity is there any way to reduce ?
any help would be appreciated. Because of Sonarlint I am not able to pass my code
Thank you
private void addSth(List<Integer> myStatus, List<String> myId, String taskOwner, StringBuilder queryStatement, List<Object> args) {

        if (null != myStatus&& myStatus.size >0) {
             queryStatement.append("and (");
        for(int i = 1; i <= status.size(); i++) {
          int status = myStatus.get(i-1);

           switch (status) {
            case 1:
             StringBuilder potSth = new StringBuilder();
             if (null != myId && myId.size() > 0) {
             pothSth.append("(");

           for (int j=1; j <= myId.size(); j++)
               pothSth.append(" ? ");
          if (j < myId.size())
              pothSth.append(", ")

           pothSth.append(")");

          queryStatement.append("sth");
          queryStatement.append(pothSth);
         queryStatement.append(")\n");

         args.add(1);

        for (String pOwner : ownerId) {
          args.add(pOwner);

     break;

     case 2:
     case 3:
         queryStatement.append("or ");
       args.add(status);
       args.add(taskOwner);

  if (i < myStatus.size ) {
  queryStatement.append("or ");

A: Sonarlint measures cognitive complexity on the basis of three factors:

*

*Ignore structures that allow multiple statements to be readably shorthanded into one.

*Increment (add one) for each break in the linear flow of the code.

*Increment when flow-breaking structures are nested.

Source: Cognitive Complexity White Paper page 4
I would recommend breaking the addSth method down into several smaller methods, perhaps for handling the status, appending to pothSth and appending to queryStatement.
Also it appears to be missing some curly braces at the end so, so I'm not totally sure what this code is doing. Like Jonny said, some context and formatting would be appreciated. :)

Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham recently spoke with Music Recall Magazine. Check out MRM's exclusive interview with Dunham below.
Jeff Dunham will be at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC on Friday, November 7 at 8pm.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com, the Bon Secours Wellness Arena box office or by calling 1 (800) 745-3000.
MRM: Growing up, were you a class clown?
Dunham: Absolutely not… Not in the younger years, anyway. I was quiet, unremarkable, not popular, and horrible at sports. It wasn't until I got a dummy and started performing in class and in the talent shows, making fun of the teachers, the principals, the coaches, and the school food, that I gained some recognition and confidence. But then I almost got kicked out of school my senior year for telling an off-color joke over the high school PA during morning announcements.
Dunham: When people say that an artist or athlete or whatever kind of successful person has a 'gift', I think that's paying that person a major disservice; Great success usually comes after someone has dedicated his or her life to the perfection of their given pursuit. If I have any kind of a gift, it was the drive to be successful and be the best that I could be; I had a passion. You've heard of the 10,000 hour idea: If someone is truly great at something, they've usually put in at least 10,000 hours of time perfecting their craft. That's dedication; that's a passion; that's hard work. It's not a gift… It's hard work with sweat, tears, failure, success, victory, defeat, happiness, sadness, and sacrifice. So the short answer to your question is, there was never a realization of having a gift, but rather the blessings of being able to pursue my passion in life.
they'll make it big one day?
Dunham: Never give up. Ever. Succeed and fail. Fail and succeed. And with your efforts and your own pursuits and successes, make sure you're leaving this planet a better place than it was when you got here.
MRM: What can you tell us about your upcoming "All Over The Map" special that premieres November 16 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central?
Dunham: I still can't believe the places I performed and how many people who were so very different in so many places around the world, all laughed at the same things. It made me realize that we're really not all that different. For example, I was in an Arab country one night in front of thousands of Muslims, and then the next evening was in Israel in front of thousands of Jewish people; Both audiences loved the shows equally, and I changed my act very little from one country to the next. It was very special and moving for me. As corny as it may sound, I walked away with a new hope for all of us as humans. The world isn't as dark and scary as some might think after watching the evening news these days. It's quite the opposite. I really feel like most of us are good people, and it's only a few idiots that cause so much of the garbage in the world today.
MRM: Thank for the interview Jeff. See you in Greenville this Friday!

Police Chief Duncan set to retire
Alamogordo Police Chief Robert A. Duncan plans to retire from the department in February.
Duncan submitted his resignation, which will go into effect Feb. 5, on Tuesday to Interim City Manager Dr. George Straface.
Duncan wrote in his letter that he made the decision to leave this job he loves because he believes it is both the right time for him and the right time for the department.
"I will have 22 years in public service, which began when I first joined the New Mexico State Police in 1994 and then joined Alamogordo Police Department as the police chief in January 2013," he wrote.
Duncan also wrote that he was honored and privileged to be appointed acting city manager from August to October 2015.
He said he plans to stay in the community after he retires from the department.
Straface said he wishes Duncan good will and a good retirement.
"I think he earned a well deserved retirement," Straface said. "We certainly appreciate all he did for the city. He said he will probably stay in the community so we'll probably use him for several other things. I don't know for sure what, but we do appreciate his service."
Straface said due to the Christmas holiday, he believes City Commission will not be able to take up the search for a new police chief until next week.
Duncan was originally hired by Interim City Manager Bob Carter with the approval of City Commission in December 2012. Duncan started working for the department January 14, 2013.
He has a master's degree in public administration from the University of New Mexico and a diploma from the FBI National Academy in Virginia. Duncan also holds a diploma from the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Duncan is also a U.S. Army veteran.
He had 19 years of law-enforcement experience with New Mexico State Police.
Duncan took over Alamogordo Department of Public Safety after APDS Director Sam Trujillo retired from the department to take a position with El Paso County, Texas.
Duncan oversaw the separation of ADPS into two separate police and fire departments. He procured five new patrol units from state funding in 2014. He revitalized the department's training division and achieved accreditation for the department in October 2014. Duncan also increased the vetting of new officers through mandating polygraph testing for all applicants.
He said he was appreciative to have led a department of such fine men and women.
"It's time to leave," Duncan said. "I wanted to make a difference. I appreciated the support from the community, Mayor, City Commission and the City Manager. I know things are going good for the department. It's been a great ride."

I hadn't seen him for ten years. That's the third time this has happened. I'd be unhappy if that happened again. No one should have to suffer like that. She had a Big Mac. Lindsay was my first crush. Konstantinos arrived at just the right moment. We'll definitely be ready. Mr. and Mrs. Davis were invited to a Christmas party at a hotel one year. He is the man for whom we all have respect.
What happened to the German girl? You don't understand English at all. Say that you love me. Gregg is still just a kid. He has no money. Please stay away from them. She closely resembles her mother. I looked around for a weapon just in case. I'm just glad you're safe. I dealt him a blow on the ear.
Jagath believes in paranormal phenomena. This story is believed to be true. Murray and Lord don't see each other very often. I decided to become a doctor. She is still in the painful process of growing up. Rainer was late for school. He is a nice person, to be sure, but not very clever. No, Chinese dishes are the best. I'm not a maniac. You're the maniac. The statistics are in our favor.
I respect the mister's point of view. He who has never left his country is full of prejudices. He decided to specialize in physics at college. I'll be with her if I'm needed. Poor as he was, he did not borrow money from others. They grow strawberries in their greenhouse. When I undertook my long wandering in those deserts, there were naked and boring stretches of land between 1200 and 1300 meters high. He spoke justly and modestly. He spoke about Schleyer, an earlier pioneer of the world-language idea. Her illness is not such as to cause anxiety. All I want is directions.
Farmers separate good apples from bad ones. Do you know how many people turned up at the dance last week? The coffin was loaded into the hearse. Guys that handsome are few and far between. Could we walk? He kept his tongue under a bridle. He didn't need to bring an umbrella. The discussion was being cancelled. I'm not going to teach you how to do that. They risked their lives for it.
The train is ten minutes behind today. Darci was supposed to assist me. I must learn Japanese. When were you in Australia? His aunt married a Lebanese man and went with him to Senegal. Mystery novels are loved by a lot of people. Sanity dug a hole in his front yard. Sometimes it just happens. I'm looking for a friend of mine. This is a public street, not a racetrack.
I'm a gynaecologist. Matthias should have some good advice. I'd like your attention, please. The actress said that she was engaged to a banker. Let me get it for you. Soohong didn't have much time to finish his homework. The chairman of the meeting became ill. I know what I think. They made their way toward the town. I am looking forward to receiving your favorable answer.
I need her. He borrowed the car from his friend. The supervolcano of Yellowstone hasn't erupted in ages, but telltale signs such as deformation of land and earthquakes showcase its activity. I talked to Shari's parents. I looked around for you. You must pay attention to what your teacher says. What if the Statue of Liberty was made out of gold? Where's the washroom? No, I did it on my own account. Nancy cannot have told a lie.
It was then that my father's reproof had come home to me. Did you threaten him? I'll call her tomorrow. I am sure that we will find a solution. Chess helps improve reading skills and concentration. In feudal Japan, the lord with the largest land holdings was called a "daimyo." Let's see if we can do it without any help. Human blood has the same colour everywhere. Without you, I'm nothing. Connie seldom goes out.
Barrio usually wakes up every morning before his alarm clock goes off. You don't need to tell Marian what to do. Billy picked up the paper and turned it over. I didn't want to see her. Where does this piece go? Jeanette didn't have to say that. I think the socialist party will win. Patty finished writing to her friends in Canada. Should that happen, what will you do? What a nice guy!

Health and safety certificates may be the new 'visas' that permit air travel
SINGAPORE — Airlines will need to meet a "harmonized" standard of health measures as air travel returns following the global pandemic, according to the CEO of Etihad Airways.
"I can see that wellness certification will become a necessary function of how the whole of the world comes back to flying,"
Tony Douglas told CNBC's Hadley Gamble last week as part of the Global Aerospace Summit.
For Etihad, a United Arab Emirates flag carrier, efforts to ensure "wellness" include sterilization of cabins, mandatory coronavirus tests for passengers, and tracking wristbands to be worn during the compulsory 14-day quarantine.
"We'll adapt and we'll adapt and therefore, wellness certification will probably be no (different) to how visas used to be issued to give safe passage,"
The airline industry has been heavily affected by the Covid-19 health crisis after countries shut their borders in an attempt to slow the virus. While some air travel has resumed, the International Air Transport Association said the results have been "dismally disappointing" and have not delivered a "real bounce" to the sector.
'Internationally aligned' processes
With no end in sight to the pandemic, Etihad's Douglas said airlines will have to adapt to assure passengers that it's safe to fly.
"In the same way with security standards after Lockerbie, after 9/11, and with the liquid bomb threats, that saw global aviation security standards harmonized everywhere, I forecast that that's what will happen with wellness as well,"
Douglas said he was not comparing the coronavirus to terrorism, but pointing out the importance of "internationally aligned" processes.
"With those terrorism examples, over time, whole baggage screening became a global, acknowledged, harmonized standard,"
"I'm going to go out there and predict that, following COVID, there will be changes to how wellness certification will come into play."
The airline, which is the country's second-largest, announced wage cuts and layoffs in May. Douglas said, "thousands" had been laid off and that it's a "regrettable reality" facing the industry.
Etihad has lost more than $5 billion since 2016 and had been working on a transformation program for more than two years when the coronavirus outbreak hit. Douglas said he could not guarantee there would be no further layoffs, given the problems facing the industry.
Douglas told CNBC that the state-owned company has received "remarkable support" from the Abu Dhabi government.
"The trick to us now is to concentrate on how we navigate coming out of the other side of it," he said. "I'm sure Etihad will be one of the winners in all of this."

Six Schaumburg High School Students' Artwork in Color for a Cure Mural
alycia rose gonzales, beth kuehnl, color for a cure, damaris sanchez, dhaval thakkar, evan jones, heidi tincknell, lillian xia
The final mural features artwork from students all over to create one image.
Students at Schaumburg High School recently took an opportunity to color a picture for a cure. The Color for a Cure program, sponsored by JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Illinois, Ford Motor Company Fund, and Project S.N.A.P. (Share. Nurture. Act. Preserve.) gave students in the Chicagoland area the opportunity to be a part of a mosaic mural entitled, "Imagine a Cure to Type 1 Diabetes."
The mosaic project will showcase artwork from six Schaumburg High School students. The drawing students were asked to create an image with the theme "imagine" by drawing, painting, or word painting. On the back of their images, they were asked to write a brief paragraph reflecting on the message and content of what they created.
Selected artwork from student Damaris Sanchez.
"I thought this would be a good tie in for social studies and citizenship, which we are trying to teach our students," said Heidi Tincknell, art department chair and teacher at Schaumburg High School. "The other part is it's also good for them to have a purpose to their artwork. They are making a difference with their art. They have a reason to do it well and to grow their skills and understanding."
The organization held an auction for last year's completed mural, which was purchased by Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago and is on display. Tincknell, who also had drawing students selected for the previous mural, said her students are very excited their work will be displayed on-line, in a touring mural, and possibly find a permanent place in a hospital.. The organization does not offer monetary scholarships or any awards for being selected. The reward is the opportunity to showcase artwork for a purpose. All of the funds went to the Juvenile Diabetes Association.
This is the second year Schaumburg High School has participated in the program. Last year's project was "Grateful Nation," in which eight students were selected for their military-themed artwork and were interviewed for the organization's film.
Tincknell said involving her students in these kinds of projects helps give them even more meaning to their artwork and ties art in with the rest of their studies. She said many students have very insightful reasoning behind their artwork. Damaris Sanchez wrote: "I believe that children with diabetes are very strong. I admire what you do. I hope that one day a cure is found. Until then, stay strong and imagine." Her message was followed with a smiley face.
Selected artwork from student Dhaval Thakkar.
Dhaval Thakkar had similar sentiments, and wrote: "There are always obstacles that people have to overcome. Some face bigger ones than others. Children that have diabetes are, according to me, the bravest people in the world. They have to face such a huge obstacle so early in their lives. I imagine that one day there will be a cure for diabetes and children will not have to worry about such diseases and enjoy their innocent lives."
"Administration has been so supportive of us," Tincknell said. "What's nice is the organization picks what this project will benefit. It's so good for students to work that into their art and have that as citizenship."
Students selected for the Color for a Cure mural:
Alycia Rose Gonzales
Evan Jaras
Beth Kuehnl
Damaris Sanchez
Dhaval Thakkar

On March 25, the European Union marked 60 years since the signature of the Rome Treaties, the first step towards a united Europe.
Since the birth of the European Communities in 1957, the citizens of our member states have enjoyed six decades of unprecedented peace, prosperity and security.
The contrast to the first half of the 20th Century could not be greater.
Two catastrophic wars in Europe, between 1914 and 1945, left millions dead, and a continent devastated, divided and prostrate.
For countries that had long been at war, European integration has been the most successful peace project in our history.
However, we are living in unpredictable times and the 60th anniversary of the Rome Treaties is the opportunity not only to reaffirm our commitment to the values and objectives on which the European project is founded, but also to take pragmatic and ambitious steps forward.
The world is going through a time of great uncertainty: the global balance of power is shifting and the foundations of a rules-based international order are too often being questioned.
The EU will be an increasingly vital power to preserve and strengthen the global order.
The EU is the second global economy. We are the largest global market and the leading foreign investor in most parts of the globe.
The EU has achieved a strong position by acting together with one voice on the global stage, by playing a key role in removing barriers to trade as a member of the World Trade Organisation, as well as concluding bilateral trade deals with many important partners around the world — such as the recent CETA deal with Canada.
This allowed EU exporting firms to flourish and create over 30 million jobs.
We invest more in development cooperation and humanitarian aid than the rest of the world combined.
The EU is increasingly active as a global security provider.
It is, and will continue to be, a strong, cooperative and reliable power.
Our partners know what we stand for: multilateralism, human rights and international cooperation.
We also stand for sustainable development, inclusive societies, the fight against all inequalities — in education, in democracy and human rights.
For us, this is not charity: it is a smart investment in our own security and prosperity.
Today, the EU is the world's largest financial donor of development aid that goes to around 150 countries in the world.
In the period 2014-2020, about 75 per cent of EU support will go to countries which are often hard hit by natural disasters or conflict, something that makes their citizens particularly vulnerable.
The EU is the only donor worldwide that gives support in all countries that are fragile or suffer from conflict.
Since the start of the Syrian conflict, for instance, the EU has been the largest single donor of humanitarian aid to care for the millions of men, women and children displaced by the conflict.
But what does this mean for Jordan?
As we mark the anniversary of the Rome Treaties today, we also celebrate 30 years of Erasmus, 25 years of the single market, and 15 years of Jordan-EU Association Agreement.
On this particular occasion, we are honoured to look back at the support provided by the EU and its member states to help the government of Jordan and Jordanian citizens cope with domestic and regional challenges.
We remind Jordanians that they are not alone, as the Kingdom, with its outstanding political engagement in the region, remains a key partner of the EU.
From 2007 to 2016, the EU extended about 2 billion euros to Jordan, in the form of bilateral cooperation, humanitarian aid, support for resilience as well as two loan operations in support to IMF programmes.
Aside from supporting the government of Jordan, we have also worked with the private sector, supporting hundreds of companies and creating thousands of jobs.
We have been a staunch supporter of civil society and exchange programmes, engaging with hundreds of community-based organisations and providing scholarships for thousands of Jordanian students through the Erasmus programme.
A strong EU-Jordan partnership has never been more important than now, where Jordan is at the forefront of the fight against terrorism and extremism, and has shown tremendous solidarity in hosting a massive influx of Syrian refugees.
We have responded to Jordan's needs in dealing with the refugee crisis as the EU and its member states delivered on pledges made at the London conference, with $1.4 billion mobilised in 2016 alone.
On April 5, the EU will host in Brussels an international ministerial conference to step up support for the future of Syria and the region.
On this special day for the EU, we confirm our common values and long-lasting partnership with Jordan and look forward to further enhancing our ties.

Since when was Rome a liason between our countries? We never said we wanted Rome to be the alma mater of European idealism during tumultuous times. We fought to suppress and destroy the Romans, not to make them the materna liasèiose. Get your Rome treaties and their resurrection conspirators and throw them in the pit where they belong!

A sign of confident, inspirational leadership is making good things happen for other people. Bernard Tyson manifested the concept of inspired leadership through his active involvement as co-chair of the World Economic Forum's Health Governors Community, serving on the boards of the American Heart Association, America's Health Insurance Plans, the International Federal of Health Plans and so much more.
Image: World Economic Forum
These are all, indisputably, very laudable achievements. However, in recent reflections of the life and influence of Mr. Tyson, it is clear that the most profound and everlasting legacy of Mr. Tyson is how he deliberately used who he was, his intelligence, his visibility, his position, his influence, to make things better and how this impacted individuals as well as institutions. HSDA notes, as President of Kaiser Permanente, Mr. Tyson's vocal support of the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in 2010. He did not shrink from the controversy but chose instead to endeavor to make things better for other people, those struggling to acquire healthcare insurance.
HSDA, as an organization comprised of executives in healthcare, committed to exploring and executing substantial improvements in the levels of supplier diversity, acknowledge the excellence and legacy of Mr. Tyson; and reaffirm our commitment to make things better for capable, committed diverse suppliers endeavoring to understand how to build companies in the transformation of the healthcare industry. For us, Mr. Tyson was and through his legacy, will continue to be, a beacon of light, that continues to illuminate, as we chronicle his rise from entering as an intern, to becoming Chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente. Mr. Tyson, along the way, made clear through his everyday actions, and interactions with people, his determination and proclivity to leave things better than he found them. It is this, that inspires HSDA to acknowledge Bernard Tyson as an incredible person and an impactful leader.

HPC's Announces New Supplier Agreement with Acurity
HPC proudly announces its brand new regionally enhanced supplier agreement (effective August 2019) with Acurity, a wholly owned subsidiary of GNYHA and close partner of the Premier group purchasing organization. Founded in 1996 and headquartered near Chicago, Illinois, HPC will provide members of Acurity access to 3 core product and service offerings that each promote education, drive savings within the healthcare supply chain, and support supplier diversity initiatives.
Books, Magazines & Other Publications: Members can purchase all the books, e-books, magazines, patient education, textbooks, medical coding books, clinical study aids, certification course materials, anatomical charts and other publications they need for their hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers and other medical facilities. HPC offers a one-stop shop experience for healthcare organizations to buy any type of content from any publisher they need through a single source, so that every item can be purchased through one trusted supplier at special discounted prices.
Association & Conference Concierge Service: Much like a corporate travel agency managing an organization's spend on airfare and other travel expenses, HPC's Association & Conference Concierge Service manages an organization's spend on education-related purchases like professional association memberships, corporate subscriptions, conferences and other continuing education expenses. HPC provides a dedicated team to create a centralized process for the entire organization, taking individual requests from professional staff who have an upcoming education expense and then negotiating prices with vendors, overseeing internal expense approvals and processing payment to vendors. Most health systems spend well into the millions of dollars every year on these types of educational expenses. And yet, because of payment delays, confusing decentralized processes and too much paperwork, most health systems suffer from an inefficient unmanaged system that leads to headaches for staff and overspending year after year. HPC's program reduces these costs one transaction at a time to produce significant savings for the organization, while at the same time integrating simpler centralized processes and eliminating time-consuming hassles for your professional employees and caregivers so they can get what they need quickly and painlessly.
Evidence-based Research & On-Demand Medical Library Services: HPC provides a wide range of clinical research and medical library-related services to members to promote improved caregiver access to evidence-based content and to support evidence-based practice in nursing, medicine and supply chain. Whether it's having HPC manage your library budget and annual subscription renewals, or relying on HPC's experienced medical librarians to provide on-call research support to your caregivers 7 days a week, or providing your supply chain with easy-to-understand evidence on complex medical device purchases, or completely outsourcing the management and oversight of your medical library to HPC in a more cost-effective virtual library model – HPC customizes service for each and every member we serve to support you wherever you need the extra help.

Atlanta-based IBEX IT Business Experts has unveiled to the public the pre-launch of their highly anticipated supplier diversity vendor management system, Certifiably Diverse. As an exhibitor at the Women's Business Enterprise National Council's (WBENC) Annual Conference in June, IBEX introduced booth visitors to the new system with wide acclaim from both prospective buyers and suppliers alike. IBEX is an African-American, woman-owned IT solutions and delivery firm.
Originally developed for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), Certifiably Diverse is a cloud-based supply chain management solution that advances and transforms supplier diversity commitments into a scalable and results-driven platform. "Thanks to the mentorship and partnership of UPMC, we have built a best-in-class system that will meet the needs of both new and mature supplier diversity programs alike," said Tracey Grace, president and chief executive officer of IBEX.
On June 17th, the Premier Supplier Diversity Committee held its "8th Annual Supplier Forum" – allowing small and diverse suppliers (active contracted suppliers) an opportunity to spend a day with the members on the committee. This year was particular special because Premier is celebrating 20 years of supplier diversity initiatives! Along the way, Premier has provided many small and diverse suppliers the opportunity to partner and support their efforts to continually lead the way in healthcare innovation – approximately 390 diverse contracts currently in place. Print Media is extremely proud that we were Premier's very first awarded diverse supplier, and that we were given an opportunity to share our story and provide a testimonial for a supplier diversity strategy during this year's forum.

Sharon Reynolds of DevMar Products, LLC Featured Cover Story on MBE Magazine
Rock Star: Making a Difference
Sharon Reynolds continues a family legacy of achievement, excellence, and entrepreneurship.
For years, scientists and government officials have warned the public about threats to the environment because of the rapidly growing population's consumption of limited natural resources and, instead, encouraged the use of eco-friendly products. As a result, many companies have opted out of developing products that contain harsh or toxic chemicals that may harm the planet and consumers; they've chosen, instead, to develop environmentally friendly products. Sharon Reynolds, president and CEO of DevMar Products, LLC in Nashville, Tennessee, has grown her company to be one of the leaders in providing environmentally friendly cleaning and safety products to help sustain the planet for future generations.
DevMar Products (a hybrid of Reynolds' two sons' names-Devin and DeMarco), distributes high-quality janitorial and sanitary supplies to companies for healthier work environments for employees, staff, and patients.
Before launching DevMar Products, in 2007, Reynolds, a fifth-generation Nashvillian, enjoyed a very successful 16-year career as a real estate broker. She was one of the youngest African-American owners of a prominent mortgage company at age 26, eventually becoming one of the top real estate brokers in Nashville and a relocation specialist for major corporations. Unfortunately, the real estate market crash during the Great Recession forced her to switch careers. "This whole economy was about to go under. So, I really had to reinvent myself. I said, 'Okay, so what is it that I can do,"' she says.
She didn't have to look far for an idea. Reynolds' husband, DeMarco, Sr., owns a janitorial and facilities management company, operating in four states. She recognized that there was a lot of momentum toward environmental sustainability and protecting the environment in that industry. So, she approached her husband with the idea to provide his company, Reynolds & Reynolds Facility Services, with environmentally responsible cleaning supplies.
"I had some pushback [from him] because he said, 'You're a young distributor and you're going to have to actually go to larger distributors to be able to provide the products that I need. I'm going to pay more, which will impact my bottom line,"' she recalls. "He was just like any other customer and I had to make sure that he wasn't going to pay more."
Shortly after, Reynolds was awarded her first major contract with the Metro Nashville Airport Authority. When the airport authority announced that the bid, required 20 percent diversity participation, Reynolds approached American Paper and Twine Co. (AP& T), who'd held the contract for 15 years, about partnering.

Strategic Operational Savings for Prominent Healthcare Institution
SUCCESS STORY-
The one image that occurred to our East Coast healthcare client as they contemplated the condition of their medical library was "junk drawer." Disorganized, costly, unevenly supplied and staffed, they turned to HPC's Library Management Service (LMS) to help make their library into the "toolbox" it needed to be for their medical staff, residents, and patients.
Each year this institution, which includes a prominent university medical center, sees about 13,000 patient admissions and employs a medical staff of 1,100 along with 260 residents. The library supports the entire health system and is housed at the university medical center. A highly functioning and efficient library is paramount to patient care and staff success.
HPC's service began with a top-to-bottom analysis of their library with a focus on:
measuring their current spend and annual budget
valuing the amount and status of pending payments and open invoices
understanding the needs of stakeholders who most utilized the library
identifying staffing requirements to manage the library
cataloging their existing collection, understanding the utilization of content, and gathering information for future content needs
HPC initially made a series of recommendations to the health system that would improve the operational management of the library, provide a full-time remote medical librarian, and resolve media, subscription content, and other resource issues uncovered during the initial analysis. In addition, we developed a new web portal for user search requests.
Owens & Minor Celebrates the 2018 Earl G. Reubel Award Winners at its 13th Annual Healthcare Supplier Diversity Symposium
RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 15, 2018--Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE:OMI) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2018 Earl G. Reubel Awards, which were presented this year at the 13th Annual Healthcare Supplier Diversity Symposium (HSDS). The annual awards recognize healthcare industry leaders—individuals and organizations—who advocate for diversity within the healthcare industry supply chain.
"We congratulate these winners for their enduring efforts to expand access to the healthcare supply chain to a wider range of individuals and enterprises," said Geoff Marlatt, Senior Vice President, Manufacturer Services for Owens & Minor. "Their advocacy for diversity and their dedication to improving the healthcare supply chain is exemplary."
Each year at the symposium, the awards are given in three healthcare industry categories: Civic Leadership, Large Corporate Leadership, and Diversity Enterprise. A fourth category was added this year—the inaugural Chairman's Award for Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion—which was presented for the first time at the Chicago event.
The Earl G. Reubel Civic Leader of the Year Award is presented to an individual who advocates for a diverse healthcare supply chain through community outreach and education. The 2018 winner was Timothy Martin, Strategic Sourcing manager for CHRISTUS Health in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. Martin initiated an annual Supplier Diversity Vendor Forum and actively reaches out to minority-, women- and veteran-led companies (MWVBE's) to provide a blueprint for working with the hospital system. Martin, who also serves as the chair of the CHRISTUS diversity council, has expanded the hospital system's spend with diverse suppliers each year since 2012.
The Earl G. Reubel Diverse Enterprise of the Year Award is presented to a medical-surgical supplier delivering differentiated value as a MWVBE. The 2018 winner, MYCO Medical of Apex, North Carolina, is a certified diversity supplier, specializing in single-use, disposable clinical-preference items. MYCO Medical also focuses on the needs of the healthcare industry in device categories lacking competition to provide more product choice, and safe, high-quality, innovative solutions with substantial cost savings.
The Earl G. Reubel Large Corporation of the Year Award is presented to a corporation fostering a purpose driven culture of diversity and inclusion, while also leveraging diverse suppliers. The 2018 winner, Bon Secours Mercy Health in Baltimore, is a 100-bed facility licensed in the state of Maryland that serves the Baltimore area. This facility has implemented strategies designed to have a positive impact on the community, including: neighborhood revitalization efforts, creation of opportunities for youth employment and workforce development; a women's resource center; and purchasing from local, minority-owned vendors.
The newly created HSDS Chairman's Award for Excellence in Diversity & Inclusion recognizes an industry luminary whose demonstrated commitment to excellence in diversity and inclusion is worthy of recognition and celebration. The inaugural Chairman's Award was awarded to Medtronic, a global biomedical engineering firm that quietly advocates for inclusion in the workforce and in the healthcare supply chain. Medtronic researches, designs, and manufactures implantable medical devices, drug and biological delivery devices, as well as powered and advanced energy surgical instruments.
Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth: Registration Open
Once again, the Healthcare Supplier Diversity Alliance (HSDA), along with its many healthcare partners, have partnered with the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth to offer useful strategies for growing your minority or woman owned business AND being more competitive in the healthcare industry. So, the fall session entitled Building a High-Performing Minority Business will offer the core sessions, as always, in addition to featuring colleagues discussing healthcare supply chain procurement and diversity strategies. We've received great reviews over the past few years, so we're super excited to offer these sessions again. The healthcare component is only offered during the November session (November 11 - 16, 2018).
A limited number of partial scholarships are available to HSDA members on a first come, first served basis! Go to http://mbp.tuck.dartmouth.edu/sessions/building-a-high-performing-minority-business/ and register to attend. We look forward to spending time with you!
New Contract with Midwestern Health System
Organizations expend valuable time and resources effectively tracking and centrally managing their spend on association memberships, subscriptions, and conferences. HPC saves clients time and money by centralizing this category of purchasing through our AMS solution.
We recently began work for a Midwestern health system. After our initial analysis, we concluded that the system would spend $1MM more maintaining the status quo for the next three years than engaging HPC to provide necessary oversight and support services.
Additionally, for each year post engagement, the system will realize a $1MM savings on their existing vendor spend. Not only that, hundreds of the system's employees will realize time savings; managers, supervisors, executive assistants and Accounts Payable staff, etc. And, their staff will now have access to HPC's "concierge service" with getting the books, associations, conferences and subscriptions they need at the most affordable price.
Healthcare Opportunity Pipeline
During GMSDC's Business Opportunity Exchange April 26-27, Kevin J. Price, Sr. Director of Supplier Diversity for Novant Health and Todd Gray, Director of Supplier Diversity for Grady Health System, participated on a panel entitled, "Healthcare Opportunity Pipeline." Also pictured (L-R) is John Webb of Quantum Reach, Ralph Donaldson, Jr. (moderator) of Wise Think Solutions and Christopher Kunney of IO Tech Consulting.
Action Health Signs Agreement with Vizient's Achieve Committed Program
Action Health, a WBENC diversity supplier, signed a specialty bag agreement for Vizient's Achieve Committed Program. The Achieve program is an expansion of the range of highly successful committed offerings currently available to Vizient members. Members who choose to participate in the Achieve Program will receive the best total acquisition cost, unmatched transparency, and increased efficiency, according to the company. The Achieve Program ensures both members and suppliers benefit from the value delivered to all participants through a commitment model.

In A Move That Could Save Millions Of Lives, Indian & US Scientists Have Discovered A Cure For Sepsis
18 Aug 2017 1:29 PM GMT
A recent study made by a team of scholars of University of Nebraska Center College of Public Health has determined that a unique mixture of good bacteria would enable in reducing the chances of sepsis in infants in India by 40%. The cure would also be cost-effective, costing only $1 per child.
The research which was headed by Pinaki Panigrahi, MD, PhD, professor, epidemiology and paediatrics, Center for Global Health and Development, is a result of 15 years of work and has the potential to bring about a change in infant health worldwide.
What is sepsis?
Also known as "blood infection", sepsis is a pervasive global healthcare problem. It is also a leading cause of death in the least developed countries.
In the developing world, sepsis accounts for 40% of all neonatal lives lost per year; more than 100,000 women contract sepsis in the course of pregnancy and childbirth.
In children and adults, sepsis occurs when the body attempts to fight an infection but ends up damaging tissues and organs.
This chaotic response, designed to protect us, causes widespread inflammation, leaky blood vessels and abnormal blood clotting resulting in organ damage.
In severe cases, blood pressure drops, multiple organ failures ensue and the patient can die rapidly from septic shock.
"This is the largest clinical trial of probiotics in newborns funded by the National Institutes of Health," Dr Panigrahi said to The Science Daily.
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for our health, especially the digestive system. Synbiotics are combinations of probiotics with an FOS (alternative sweeteners) supplement that promotes growth and sustains colonisation of the probiotic strain. FOS, naturally found in breast milk and such plants as onion, chicory, garlic, asparagus, banana, artichoke and others, is food for the probiotic bacteria.
The universe of study for the research team was 4,500 newborns from 149 villages in Odisha. The children were followed for their first 60 days; the most critical period when they tend to get sick and die.
During their first days of life, the newborns were administered the oral preparation for seven days.
Results of the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that sepsis and deaths in the first two months of infancy were reduced by 40%, more than twice of what was anticipated by the team.
Not only that, the synbiotic treatment also lowered respiratory tract infections. This was a huge success for the researchers.
India has one of the highest rates of infant mortality in the world. Of the one million newborns who die at birth worldwide, India accounts for 700,000 such deaths, according to UNICEF. For every 1,000 live births in India, 40 babies die. With this successful research at hand, Dr Panigrahi and his team intend to bring down the numbers of death due to sepsis. It is possible that the probiotic formula turns out to be an affordable oral sepsis vaccine.
The Logical Indian community appreciates the research carried out by the team and hopes that it helps in bettering the situation of prenatal and postnatal deaths in India.


"El Secreto de Ibosim" is the first eco-film production in the world: the vehicles are electric (sponsored by Nissan) and the transfers of material and film crew between the peninsula and the island were arranged by sea to ensure a smaller carbon footprint.
But sustainable transport is not the only aspect contributing to making "El Secreto de Ibosim" the first eco-film production in the world. As explained by the director, "We put so much thought in planning the catering in order to avoid food waste. We will make sure that all the boxes, bags and packaging used during the production will be made of fabric or recycled materials. In one word, all the elements that are around us and that are part of that philosophy of sustainability will be taken into account".
However, they have not been able to resolve the use of energy they will need for shooting the movie. Instead Marta Diaz, vice president of the Consell d'Eivissa, said: "The government of Ibiza is committed to developing renewable energy in Ibiza so that the electricity needed by the film will be coming from clean sources".

Hyderabad was first made a Vicariate in 1851 and Msgr. Daniel Murphy was appointed the first Vicar Apostolic.
The diocese of Hyderabad was established on September 1, 1886. Msgr. Peter Caprotti, PIME, became the first Bishop of Hyderabad. It was raised to the status of an Archdiocese on September 19, 1953. Bishop Mark Gopu became the first Archbishop.
Over the years many new dioceses were created from the original territory of the Archdiocese. In 1928 districts of Raichur and Gulbarga were detached to form the diocese of Bellary. Krishna and West Godavari districts were detached in 1937 for the erection of the diocese of Vijayawada. Diocese of Warangal was established in 1952 with the districts of Warangal, Khammam, Nalgonda and Karimnagar. In 1976 the new diocese of Nalgonda was formed with Mahabubnagar district of Hyderabad Archdiocese and Nalgonda district of Warangal diocese.
Marathi speaking areas of the Archdiocese were detached in 1978 to form the diocese of Aurangabad. Khammam was made a new diocese in February, 1988. On June 18, 1982 the district of Bidar was entrusted to the pastoral care of Mangalore diocese.
The Archdiocese with an area of 30,814 sq. kms. and with a total population of around 12.37 million, has about 87,541 Catholics. It has 107 diocesan and 116 Religious priests, 37 Brothers and 729 Religious Sisters are active in 72 parishes, including one parish of Malankara rite.
At present the Archdiocese has four districts of Andhra Pradesh - Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Medak and Nizamabad.

Aruna Dindane (* 26. November 1980 in Abidjan) ist ein ehemaliger ivorischer Fußballspieler, er spielte als Stürmer und wurde auch in der Nationalelf seines Heimatlandes eingesetzt.

Vereine
Aruna Dindane begann seine Karriere beim ASEC Mimosas. Zur Saison 2000/01 wechselte er erstmals ins Ausland zum belgischen Spitzenverein RSC Anderlecht. Hier konnte er sich auf Anhieb durchsetzen und schaffte bereits in seiner ersten Saison den Sprung in den Stammkader. In der Folge spielte er fünf Spielzeiten für Anderlecht und wurde dabei zweimal Belgischer Meister und holte 2003 den Goldenen Schuh als bester Spieler des Jahres in Belgien. Zur Saison 2005/06 wechselte er zu seinem aktuellen Verein RC Lens in die französische Ligue 1. Hier war er in der Saison 2005/06 hinter Daniel Cousin der erfolgreichste Torschütze seiner Mannschaft. Anfang Mai 2008 erlitt er einen Riss der Kreuzbänder im linken Knie, der ihn erst sechs Monate später wieder auf Punktspieleinsätze bei den inzwischen in die Ligue 2 abgestiegenen Nordfranzosen hoffen ließ.

Ende August 2009 wurde er an den englischen Erstligisten FC Portsmouth verliehen. Des Weiteren sicherte sich "Pompey" eine Kaufoption, die bei 4 Millionen € liegt. Diese wäre automatisch fällig geworden, wenn Dindane sein achtzehntes Ligaspiel für Portsmouth bestritten hätte. Da der Verein allerdings zahlungsunfähig ist und die Ablösesumme nicht bezahlen könnte, stand er seit seinem siebzehnten Ligaeinsatz gegen den FC Liverpool nicht mehr im Kader für Ligaspiele des FC Portsmouth. Allerdings kam er noch im FA Cup zum Einsatz, da die Vertragsklausel nur für die Liga galt. Zur Saison 2010/11 wechselte Dindane zum katarischen Verein Lekhwiya in die Qatar Stars League.

Nationalmannschaft
Aruna Dindane gehörte neben Didier Drogba zu den gefährlichsten und erfolgreichsten Stürmern der ivorischen Nationalmannschaft. Deshalb wurde er auch für die Afrikameisterschaft 2006 nominiert. Jedoch konnte Dindane aufgrund eines Todesfalles in der Familie nicht teilnehmen. Bei der WM 2006 bestritt er alle drei Vorrundenspiele. Beim 3:2-Sieg gegen Serbien und Montenegro stand er als Ersatz für den gesperrten Didier Drogba in der Startelf. In diesem Spiel erzielte er zwei Tore und war damit bester Torschütze im ivorischen Aufgebot.

Auch bei der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2010 wurde Dindane in allen drei Vorrundenspiele eingesetzt, blieb aber ohne Torerfolg.

Privat
Aruna Dindane ist der Schwager von Aristide Bancé.

Throwing away the ladder
There's an important little passage in Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov which has in it the seed of an important argument. The great thing about this book, however, is that it is possible to pick any number of little passages that say something profound and important.
Alyosha, who has been living in a monastery, has the following conversation with his brother Ivan who tends towards atheism:
"I understand it all too well, Ivan: to want to love with your insides, your guts—you said it beautifully, and I'm terribly glad that you want so much to live," Alyosha exclaimed, "I think everyone should love life before everything else in the world."
"Love life more than its meaning?"
"Certainly, love it before logic, as you say, certainly before logic, and only then will I also understand its meaning. That is how I've long imagined it. Half of your work is done and acquired, Ivan: you love life. Now you only need to apply yourself to the second half, and you are saved." (pp. 230-231, Pevear translation)
Alyosha is above all trying to save his brother. Ivan through the course of the novel makes a subtle, but penetrating attack on Christianity. For Ivan there is no God and no immortality. Dostoevsky puts forward one of the most powerful attacks on Christianity, but he also puts forward a very profound defence. In this little passage and others there is put forward the essence of Christian existentialism. It is from life and individual experience that it is possible to become convinced of the truth and to obtain faith.
I watched a film recently about the great scientist Stephen Hawking. It was called the Theory of Everything. At one point Hawking at a press conference says something along the lines of that he has explained everything in the universe. There was no need for God, there was no room for God. By explaining everything he had as it were left no room for God and, indeed, explained Him away. Everything that modern physics puts forward is, no doubt, true or as true as anything can be considering the present state of our knowledge. It is folly to question what great minds have discovered about the universe. But if physics describes everything and there is no room for God, it would appear that faith can no longer be possible. Where is God if Mr Hawking can explain everything?
Mr Hawking journeys outwards and his great mind travels outwards into the universe and backwards in time to the beginning of time. But his journey is in the wrong direction if he wants to find God. God is not in the journey outward. Rather God is found within. This does not, of course, mean that God is in me, or that I am God. That is nonsense and blasphemy, but the way to become acquainted with God is through a different way of reflecting than that which journeys outwards to the beginning of time.
What is it to love life? It is to love each second of life. But what is the experience of life? It is what I do on a day to day basis. This morning I lay in bed and at some point I chose to get up. I could have lain there a little longer. I chose to make some coffee, I could have chosen to make tea. My basic fundamental experience of life and what I love about it is my ability to choose. My basic experience just like my experience that grass is green is that I have absolute freedom of will. Of course, I may be deceived in my experience. But then again since Descartes we know that I may be deceived in my experience of the external world. The route of scepticism ends in a cul-de-sac. But my sense of freedom is as real to me as anything else in the world if not more so. I would less readily doubt my freedom than anything else apart from my existence. I am free, therefore I am.
But my freedom is such that I am an uncaused cause. Every choice I make is uncaused apart from the fact that I choose. There is nothing or there need be nothing that compels me to choose to drink tea or coffee. I can do either. But Mr Hawking's universe has no uncaused cause, at least not after the Big Bang. Physics amounts to billiard balls hitting against each other. Perhaps, they are complicated little billiard balls that behave in complicated ways, but still this is all materialism, for all there is, is matter. Every action has a cause. A neuron hits against an electron, a quark flutters and I choose to drink coffee.
Science would like to explain my uncaused cause as biology. The brain is just a collection of atoms and through a complex series of reactions I choose to drink coffee. But why should I doubt the basic experience of choice for the sake of a theory about atoms and sub atomic particles that I cannot see? Why should not my fundamental feeling of freedom trump whatever science tries to do in order to explain that my feeling of freedom is illusory? If science could prove to me that the world I see was in fact an illusion, I would still believe in the world. Well, by the same token I still believe in my freedom despite whatever science can attempt to do that proves that I am really a complex automaton. I do not feel myself to be an automaton. Nor do you.
The rest follows of itself. My sense of freedom is my sense of something that is not controlled by the laws of physics. Every step I make is its own little miracle. It is an uncaused cause. It is this that makes me love life. If everything I did was caused by instinct, by need, by atoms, I would hate life and would consider it not worth living.
Alyosha is saying to Ivan 'reflect on your own individual experience, the fact that you love life.' "Love it before logic." There is a mystery at the heart of life and that mystery is that we are free in a way that cannot be properly explained.
Here again is the key to Christian existentialism. We must go beyond logic. When Wittgenstein wrote his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, he set out the logic in pages of brilliance that staggered his examiners in Cambridge. They said they didn't understand it, but it was clearly a work of genius, so despite there being no footnotes, he got his Ph.d. After the most brilliant logical demonstrations, however, Wittgenstein concluded his work in the following way:
My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognises them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them (He must so to speak throw away the ladder after he has climbed up on it.)
He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly.
Whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent. (6.54-7)
The ultimate truth of the universe is beyond logic and beyond the ability of man to understand. It can therefore only be expressed in literature in art and in music. It can, however, be experienced and, indeed, is experienced by us every day in the miracle of our freedom.
From my freedom I know that I am not dependent on atoms and from this I know that I am something other in my essence from rocks and trees. What I am is not something I am ever going to understand for it is beyond the wit of man to explain. Mr Hawking is trying to storm the gates of heaven with his reason and finding nothing there, declares there is no heaven and no God. But his efforts are as vain as medieval monks who tried to come up with ingenious logical proofs of the existence of God. You cannot get there with logic, so don't try.
If what I am is not dependent on physics, then why should my existence not survive the death of what I am physically. If truth ultimately is beyond logic, then why should not a virgin give birth, why should not God be both God and man or God and not God? Why indeed should not there be resurrection, death and not death.
We are not there yet. Alyosha tells us that Ivan's love of life is such that he is halfway there. He still has to recognise that he has reached the top of the ladder and must then throw it away. He has to leap. As Kierkegaard taught us, he has to embrace contradiction.
Of course, once you have done that, theology and philosophy are finished, for which reason Wittgenstein recommended working on a farm. But what is left is the ability to experience God from within, from the miracle of freedom and existence, and to express this feeling in art. The greatest composer of all, I think, is Olivier Messiaen because he spent his life trying to express what was beyond the ladder and for brief moments as with, for example, his Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps he succeeds. We glimpse it. Or at least we can if we choose to do so.

Бернд Ро́земайер (Роземейер, ; ,  — , близ ) — немецкий автогонщик, чемпион Европы 1936 года. Погиб на трассе Франкфурт-Дармштадт. Наряду с Рудольфом Караччолой был одним из известнейших немецких автогонщиков довоенной эпохи, воспринимаясь одновременно и как один из символов Третьего рейха. Гауптштурмфюрер СС.

Ранние годы
Племянник Йозефа Роземейера.

Отец Бернда владел автомастерской. После окончания школы Бернд там работал помощником. В шестнадцать лет получил водительские права.

Гоночная карьера

Мотоциклы
В 1931 году фирма по производству мотоциклов Zündapp объявила конкурс на замещение вакантной должности заводского гонщика, в котором лучшим стал Бернд. Первую гонку он провёл на трассе в Ольденбурге в классе 250 см³, одержав в том сезоне десять побед. В 1932 году выступал в гонках на частном BMW, менеджером стал его брат Йоб. В том же году выиграл гонку в Хоэнсбурге в классе 500 см³ и 1000 см³. В следующем году он пересел на мотоцикл NSU, на котором выиграл гонку в Силезии, на трассе в Боденхайме, в венгерской горной гонке в Гёдёллё и километровую гонку в Будапеште. В 1934 году пересел на DKW и первенствовал в гонках в Силезии, Гогенштауфене, 2000 километровой гонке и шестидневной Международной гонке.

Автомобили

DKW принадлежала Auto Union, за которую он начал выступать в том же году в Больших призах (Гран-при) с целью подготовиться к сезону-1935 чемпионата Европы. В 1935 году он выступал как заводской гонщик Auto Union, одержав свою первую победу 29 сентября 1935 году на Масарик-ринге в Брно. В 1936 году он стал чемпионом Европы. Кроме того, он соревновался с Караччолой в рекорде абсолютной скорости. Роземайер стал первым, кто превысил скорость 400 км/ч на дороге общего пользования (406,32 км/ч 26 октября 1937 года, дистанция 5 км, старт с ходу).

13 июля 1936 года Роземайер женился на Элли Байнгорн, известнейшей и удачливейшей женщине-лётчике того времени. У них родился сын — Бернд Роземайер (младший), ставший спортивным врачом и работавшим в ADAC в секторе транспортной медицины.

Гибель
28 января 1938 года Караччола на автобане Франкфурт-Дармштадт (нынешняя трасса А5) установил рекорд скорости 432,69 км/ч. Роземайер был полон решимости отыграться, однако на скорости 440 км/ч из-за бокового ветра потерял управление и попал в аварию. Его могила находится на Далемском лесном кладбище в Берлине.

Роземайер и нацизм

С 1933 года Роземайер служил в СС, рассматриваясь нацистами в качестве героя. Про его смерть Гитлер сказал, что Роземайер был одним из лучших среди пионеров автогонок, имевшим огромное значение для автоспорта и автомобильной промышленности Германии.

Писатель и критик Виктор Клемперер в 1946 году писал про Роземайера:

Наиболее частым и запоминающимся изображением героизма середины тридцатых был автогонщик: после своей смерти Бернд Роземайер в глазах народа сравняется с Хорстом Весселем.

Как и Вессель, Роземайер был членом СА и хауптштурмфюрером СС. Это было одним из основным пунктов гитлеровской пропаганды и нацистской идеологии для превознесения «арийской теории» и воспитания молодёжи. История о его гибели была использована нацистами в пропагандистских целях.

Rachael Linkie, Editor, Agora Health kindly give us all, a serious warning on the use of Statins, and gives us very important information on how to combat it, even when you have been using it for over a long perod.
And yes... statins, Big Pharma's Wonder Drugs — the ones they want dished out to just about everyone over a certain age who'll take them — can actually cause cardiovascular disease!
If it weren't so serious, I'd be falling off my office chair laughing.
Published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, a new study concludes that statins may actually be 'causative in coronary artery calcification' and 'can function as mitochondrial toxins that impair muscle function in the heart and blood vessels through the depletion of coenzyme Q10 and 'heme A', and thereby ATP generation'.
...and since your heart is a muscle, that's a pretty big deal!
In short: statins can cause the very problems they're intended to prevent.
Brilliant. Big Pharma strikes again!
The authors conclude: "Thus the epidemic of heart failure and atherosclerosis that plagues the modern world may paradoxically be aggravated by the pervasive use of statin drugs.
"We propose that current statin treatment guidelines be critically re-evaluated."
So, statins deplete you of CoQ10, the very nutrient your heart needs to function properly.
But if you're taking, or have taken, statins — or even if you haven't — there's one easy, naturally effective thing you CAN do to help PROTECT you and those you love from heart disease and stroke.
Find out here how you can HALVE your risk of a heart attack or stroke.


From the 12th to the 16th of November, the children in Bunscoil Rinn an Chabhlaigh became scientists as they partook in a week full of experiments for Science Week. On the final day, science stations were held in the hall. Each station had a different experiment and it was led by our 6th class pupils. For example, the children investigated friction, they made their own fingerprints and they tested the effect of carbon dioxide on raisins, they also partook in coding, among other activities. Our 6th class children also visited junior infants to first class and led experiments that asked the children to match the fruit to its seed. Well done to all on an investigative, fun week.
