  • 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.

  • Scrutinizing Federal Electoral Qualifications
    Scrutinizing Federal Electoral Qualifications DEREK T. MULLER* Candidates for federal office must meet several constitutional qualifications. Sometimes, whether a candidate meets those qualifications is a matter of dispute. Courts and litigants often assume that a state has the power to include or exclude candidates from the ballot on the basis of the state’s own scrutiny of candidates’ qualifications. Courts and litigants also often assume that the matter is not left to the states but to Congress or another political actor. But those contradictory assumptions have never been examined, until now. This Article compiles the mandates of the Constitution, the precedents of Congress, the practices of states administering the ballot, and judicial precedents. It concludes that states have no role in evaluating the qualifications of congressional candidates—the matter is reserved to the people and to Congress. It then concludes that while states have the power to scrutinize qualifications for presidential candidates, they are not obligated to do so under the Constitution. If state legislatures choose to exercise that power, it comes at the risk of ceding reviewing power to election officials, partisan litigants, and the judiciary. The Article then offers a framework for future litigation that protects the guarantees of the Constitution, the rights of the voters, and the authorities of the sovereigns.

  • 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.
