  • The Omega Course
    The Omega Course A six-session course designed to help older people to face up to the challenges ageing. With Bible-based teaching and questions to encourage debate and discussion. Written by Peter Sanderson Adapted by Lesley Bell From an idea suggested by Don Blevin. O ehalf of “t. Pauls Churh, Kigsto Hill. Free to use. INTRODUCTION: The aims of the course (for course leaders). People are living longer. This fact presents social, economic and political challenges to both society and government. What about the Church? How do we support older people in the church family? How can we help them face the many issues that longevity brings? What part can they play in serving the church? Are they an under-used resource? What about people who are not practicing Christians? How do they approach old age and dying? How do we share the good news of Jesus with them? We recognise the invaluable work done by Evergreens* and the way the church seeks to accept and empower its Senior Citizens in many ways. But some are looking for more teaching and discussion on this matter so that they can live well and, when the time comes, die well! The Alpha Course has been inspirational in bringing many to the beginning of a walk of faith. Because of Alpha, millions world-wide have begun to follow Jesus. But we want to explore, through the Omega Course, ways to help people end their lives in a faith-filled way. A course for both Christians and non- believers. The Bible raises the issue of old age.

  • Still Beating Strong
    [Heart Health] Vol. 17 No. 10 October 2012 Still Beating Strong By Steve Myers, Senior Editor A great deal is asked of the heart, both abstractly and physically. A mere pump, the heart helps push nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood throughout the body and performs this primary task faithfully and rhythmically for decades. It is the very definition of a loyal worker. However, its efficiency, consistency and longevity rely on a healthy cardiovascular system, and this is where people can run into problems over time. Aside from some genetically linked structural and functional issues, the heart is a happy, healthy pumper as long as the blood is flowing freely throughout the body's network of veins and arteries. Any number of situations along this vascular journey can reduce blood flow to the heart and result in heart damage or death. Unfortunately, such problems are common. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, despite a recent decline in heart-related deaths—cardiovascular disease (CVD) death rates declined 31 percent from 1998 to 2008.1 Still, about every 25 seconds, someone has a coronary event, and one person dies of a coronary event each minute, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). To put the disease prevalence in simple prospective, AHA has reported more than one in three adults has some form of CVD. The problem isn't just American. "CVD kills more people worldwide than any other disease," said Stephen Moon, CEO, Provexis and Science in Sport. "Indeed, experts estimate that by the year 2020, nearly 40 percent of all deaths worldwide will be due to CVD, more than twice the percentage of deaths from cancer." The reason why heart disease is so prevalent is the same reason why the heart health product market is huge and still expanding.

  • An Archaeology of Walls in the Walking Dead
    Undead Divides: An Archaeology of Walls in The Walking Dead Howard Williams In 2010, the zombie horror genre gained even greater popularity than the huge following it had previously enjoyed when AMC’s The Walking Dead (TWD) first aired. The chapter surveys the archaeology of this fictional post-apocalyptic material world in the show’s seasons 1–9, focusing on its mural practices and environments which draw upon ancient, biblical, medieval and colonial motifs. The study identifies the moralities and socialities of wall-building, dividing not only survivors aspiring to re-found civilization from the wilderness and manifesting the distinctive identities of each mural community, but also distinguishing the living from the undead. The roles of the dead and the undead in mural iterations are also explored. As such, dimensions of past and present wall-building practices are reflected and inverted in this fictional world. As part of a broader ‘archaeology of The Walking Dead’, the chapter identifies the potentials of exploring the show’s physical barriers within the context of the public archaeology of frontiers and borderlands. Andrea: What’s your secret? The Governor: Really big walls. Andrea: That soldier had walls too and we all know how that turned out, so. The Governor: I guess we do. The real secret is what goes on within these walls. It’s about getting back to who we were, who we really are, not just waiting to be saved. You know people here have homes, medical care, kids go to school. Adults have jobs to do. It’s a sense of purpose.
