A Review by Kenneth Atkinson of Alexandria and Qumran: Back to the Beginning, by Kenneth Silver
No full textKenneth Silver (a.k.a. Kenneth A. K. Lönnqvist), is a historian and professional archaeologist, who has lived and worked for decades in the Near East. With extensive publications on Hellenistic and Roman archaeology, history, and numismatics, Silver is the director of a survey and mapping project in Northern Mesopotamia studying the border zone between the late Roman/ Byzantine Empires and Persia. Author of numerous publications on Qumran and related topics, Silver’s lengthy monograph proposes that the documents and type of library found at Qumran were based on models derived from Egypt. The main thesis of the volume is that Pythagorean philosophy is the core and basis for the beliefs reflected in the non-Biblical texts found at Qumran
Extremes of both weight gain and weight loss are associated with increased incidence of heart failure and cardiovascular death: evidence from the CANVAS Program and CREDENCE
No full textAbstract Background Obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is not known to what extent weight fluctuations might be associated with adverse outcomes. We aimed at assessing the associations between extreme weight changes and cardiovascular outcomes in two large randomised controlled trials of canagliflozin in patients with T2D and high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Methods In the study populations of the CANVAS Program and CREDENCE trials, weight change was evaluated between randomization and week 52–78, defining subjects in the top 10% of the entire distribution of weight changes as gainers, subjects in the bottom 10% as losers and the remainder as stable. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to test the associations between weight changes categories, randomised treatment and covariates with heart failure hospitalisation (hHF) and the composite of hHF and CV death. Results Median weight gain was 4.5 kg in gainers and median weight loss was 8.5 kg in losers. The clinical phenotype of gainers as well as that of losers were similar to that of stable subjects. Weight change within each category was only slightly larger with canagliflozin than placebo. In both trials, gainers and losers had a higher risk of hHF and of hHF/CV death compared with stable at univariate analysis. In CANVAS, this association was still significant by multivariate analysis for hHF/CV death in both gainers and losers vs. stable (hazard ratio – HR 1.61 [95% confidence interval - CI: 1.20–2.16] and 1.53 [95% CI 1.14–2.03] respectively). Results were similar in CREDENCE for gainers vs. stable (adjusted HR for hHF/CV death 1.62 [95% CI 1.19–2.16]) Conclusions Extremes of weight gain or loss were independently associated with a higher risk of the composite of hHF and CV death. In patients with T2D and high CV risk, large changes in body weight should be carefully assessed in view of individualised management.

The implications for ministry of the teachings of Kenneth Cracknell with special reference to former students
No full textTo be effective in ministry in the contemporary religious milieu, today's seminarians, tomorrow's church leaders, must receive more than a mere academic experience; they need practical experience as to how to function effectively within a socially diverse climate of faith. The author documents the long term impact of Kenneth Cracknell's attempts to nurture cross cultural understanding and cooperation within the seminary context. The intent of this exposition is to demonstrate that Kenneth Cracknell has purposefully created a tranformative environment using interfaith dialogue as an effective paradigm for informing today's diverse seminary population. To that end, opinions, reactions and musings of a dozen former students are documented and presented herein as models of appropriate conversation for interfaith dialogue
