Daiichi Sankyo agrees to pay $39 Million to Resolve Allegations That It Paid Kickbacks to Physicians
Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Daiichi-Sankyo to Pay $39 Million to Resolve Allegations That It Paid Kickbacks to Physicians
Daiichi Sankyo, Inc., a global pharmaceutical company with its U.S. headquarters in New Jersey, has agreed to pay the United States and state Medicaid programs $39 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by using lavish meals and speaker program honoraria as kickback vehicles to induce physicians to prescribe the drugs Azor, Benicar, Tribenzor, and Welchol.
"Drug companies are prohibited from using lavish entertainment and padded speaker program payments to induce physicians to prescribe their drugs for beneficiaries of federal health care programs," said Carmen M. Ortiz, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. "Settlements like this one show that the government will continue to pursue health care companies that use kickbacks to promote their products."
The settlement resolves allegations that Daiichi caused the submission of false claims for Azor, Benicar, Tribenzor, and Welchol. The claims were false because they resulted from kickbacks that Daiichi provided to physicians who prescribed the drugs. Specifically, it is alleged that Daiichi's kickbacks took the form of honoraria payments, meals and other remuneration to physicians who participated, or supposedly participated, in Physician Opinion & Discussion programs (PODs) from Jan. 1, 2005, through March 31, 2011, and other speaker programs from Jan. 1, 2004, through Feb. 4, 2011. The United States contends that the honoraria, meals and other remuneration were kickbacks because Daiichi paid physicians who participated in the speaker programs even if, among other things: (1) the honoraria recipient spoke only to members of his or her own staff in his or her own office; (2) the physician participants in PODs took turns accepting a "speaker" honoraria for duplicative discussions; (3) the audience included the honoraria recipient's spouse; (4) the honoraria recipient did not speak at all because the event was cancelled beforehand; and/or (5) the associated dinners were lavish and at times even exceeded Daiichi's own internal cost limitations of $140 per person.
"The Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits payments intended to influence a physician's ordering or prescribing decisions," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Joyce R. Branda for the Department of Justice's Civil Division. "The Department of Justice is committed to preserving the independence and objectivity of those decisions, which is a cornerstone of our public health programs."
"This settlement is evidence of the continuing efforts of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and our law enforcement partners to protect medical beneficiaries and assure integrity within the pharmaceutical industry," said Craig W. Rupert, Special Agent in Charge of the DCIS Northeast Field Office, the investigative arm of the Office of the Inspector General, Department of Defense. "The Department of Defense purchases substantial quantities of pharmaceuticals and is affected by fraud schemes within this industry. DCIS will continue to aggressively pursue allegations of fraud and corruption harmful to U.S. taxpayers and the Department."
"It is vital to veterans receiving care at the VA that they are prescribed safe and effective medications for the sole purpose of healing their ailments," said Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Hughes. "The VA Office of Inspector General will continue to work with our partners in the law enforcement community to ensure that is the case."
"Schemes such as this are particularly abhorrent," said Inspector General Daniel R. Levinson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "Manufacturers and physicians who engage in them are cheating Medicare and Medicaid out of millions of dollars and threatening programs upon which many elderly and disabled Americans rely. My office will take whatever steps necessary to guard against improper alliances between manufacturers of drugs and those who prescribe them. Through our Corporate Integrity Agreement we will be closely monitoring Daiichi."
"This settlement is another example of the FBI's commitment to ensure those who refuse to play by the rules and provide illegal incentives to influence the decision-making of health care providers are held accountable," said Vincent B. Lisi, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Boston Division."
The Anti-Kickback Statute was enacted to ensure that physicians' medical judgment is not compromised by improper payments or gifts. The statute generally prohibits anyone from offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration to induce referrals of items or services covered by federal health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.
As part of the settlement, Daiichi has agreed to enter into a Corporate Integrity Agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), which obligates Daiichi to undertake substantial internal compliance reforms for the next five years.
The settlement announced today stems from a complaint filed by Kathy Fragoules, a former Daiichi sales representative, under the whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act, which authorize private parties to sue on behalf of the United States, and to receive a portion of any recovery. Ms. Fragoules will receive $6.1 million of the federal recovery.
This matter was investigated by the Department of Defense Criminal Investigative Service; the Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of the Inspector General; HHS-OIG; and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The matter was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Gregg Shapiro, Lisa Asiaf, and Giselle Joffre of Ortiz' office; Department of Justice Trial Attorney Douglas Rosenthal; Zachary Cunha, currently an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Rhode Island; and Kimberly Friday, currently an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of California.
The case is captioned U.S. ex rel. Fragoules v. Daiichi Sankyo, Inc., Civil Action No. 10-10420 (D. Mass.).

The mouth-watering event will stop off in Rome, featuring the new cocktail gelato, the latest delicious specialty from Fabbri. After the extraordinary success of the event in Florence, which saw 300,000 people take part, the Gelato Festival is going on tour around Italy, along with this important part of Italian cultural heritage, in which Fabbri has played a key role.
There was lots of fun to be had at the events in Milan and Turin, which took place in two beautiful squares, and we can look forward to even more when the Gelato Festival arrives in Rome. From 21 to 23 June, the final leg of the tour will be in the Italian capital to celebrate the history of this frozen specialty, which was invented by the multi-talented artist Bernardo Buontalenti. In 1559, at the Medici court, he created a chilled cream made with milk, honey, egg yolk and wine, and flavored with citrus fruits. However, the cities of Rome and Turin also played an important role in the evolution of gelato. Several historical sources suggest that even the Ancient Romans used to enjoy a dessert that was similar to sorbet, while in Turin, the cook and pastry chef of the House of Savoy, Giovanni Vialardi, was the first to make the distinction between gelato and sorbet. Fabbri has also taken part in this historical journey, since the company was founded over a century ago, and its products have contributed to the creation of delicious gelato, whilst always aiming for innovation. The latest result of this constant search for innovation is the cocktail gelato, a mouth-watering new treat from Fabbri, which people can enjoy at the next two Gelato Festival events.
The flavors available include Black Ice Amarena and Strawberry Peach, which are alcohol-free and therefore suitable for both kids and adults, and Mojito and Irish Ginger Banana, which contain alcohol and so are for adults only. If you're trying to find the Fabbri stand on this tasty tour, just look out for our unmistakable blue and white jar. You can also find Buontalenti at the event, namely the biggest mobile artisan gelato workshop ever built, where the public can watch the preparation of top quality artisan gelato all day long.

406. Yahya or John is the name of the Prophet who appeared before Jesus to serve as his harbinger in fulfilment of the biblical prophecy (Mal. 3:1 and 4:5). The Hebrew form is Yuhanna which in that language means, God has been gracious (Enc. Brit.). The name Yahya was given by God Himself. (close)

330. Important Words:
یحیٰ (Yahya or John) is the name of the Prophet who appeared before Jesus to serve as his harbinger in fulfilment of the Biblical prophecy (Mal. 3:1 and 4:5). The Hebrew form is یوحنا which in that language means, God has been gracious (Enc. Brit.). The name Yahya was given by God Himself and was meant to point to a distinctive characteristic of his (19:8). In Arabic, the word is derived from the root حیاة (life) and means, he lives or he shall live. The implication in the name was that he would not die in childhood but would live to the age of manhood or that he would lead a righteous life. The fact that Yahya did not die a natural death but was killed (Matt. 14:10) shows yet another implication in the name, i.e. that he would die the death of a martyr and would thus live forever in the sight of God. Says the Quran, Think not of those who have been slain in the cause of Allah as dead. Nay, they are living in the presence of their Lord and are granted gifts from Him (3:170). Yahya is probably the only known Israelite Prophet who was actually killed, as hinted in the Quranic verse, We have not made anyone before him of that name (19:8; cf. Luke 1:61).
حصور (chaste) is derived from حصر i.e. he was or became unable to express his mind by reason of shame, etc. حصرعنه means, he became impeded and was unable to do it. حصر عن المرأة means, he abstained or kept away from sexual intercourse with the woman, whether intentionally or through impotence. حصرالسر means, he concealed the secret and refrained from divulging it. حصرہ means, he prevented or restrained him. حصور therefore, means, one who has no sexual intercourse with women, though able to have it, abstaining from them from a motive of chastity and for the sake of shunning worldly pleasures; or one who is prevented from having it by impotence; or one who does not desire them; one very careful and cautious, who abstains or refrains from a thing through fear, etc.; concealer of a secret or secrets; one who abstains from evil passions and frivolous games and sport (Lane & Aqrab).
The description of Yahya (John) given in the verse, i.e. سید (noble or great), and حصور (chaste or refrainer from evil passions), and نبی(Prophet) and من الصالحین (righteous), agrees with that given in Luke (1:13-17, 76). In Luke we have, "he (John or Yahya) shall be great in the sight of God…he shall drink neither wine nor strong drink…he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost...and he shall be called the prophet of the Most High." The Quran also describes Yahya as one who shall testify to the truth of a word from Allah (3:40). And John came in exact fulfilment of Malachi's prophecy: "Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord come" (Mal. 4:5). The Quranic expression حصور in the sense of "concealer of a secret" also points to the above description, for Yahya (John) was the bearer of the hidden news of the coming of Jesus. (close)
پس فرشتوں نے اسے آواز دی جبکہ وہ محراب میں کھڑا عبادت کر رہا تھا کہ اللہ تجھے یحییٰ کی خوشخبری دیتا ہے جو اللہ کے ایک عظیم کلمہ کی تصدیق کرنے والا ہو گا اور وہ سردار اور اپنے نفس کی پوری حفاظت کرنے والا، اور صالحین میں سے ایک نبی ہو گا۔
اس پر فرشتوں نے اسے جبکہ وہ گھر کے بہترین حصہ میں نماز پڑھ رہا تھا آواز دی کہ اللہ تجھے یحیٰ کی بشارت دیتا ہے جو اللہ کی ایک بات کو پورا کرنے والا ہوگا اور (نیز) سردار اور (گناہوں سے) روکنے والا اور نیکوں میں سے (ترقی کرکے) نبی ہوگا۔
Et les anges l'appelèrent pendant que, debout, il priait dans la chambre. « Allāh t'annonce la bonne nouvelle de Yahya qui rendra témoignage de la vérité d'une parole d'Allāh – noble, chaste et un Prophète d'entre les justes. »
Y los ángeles lo llamaron mientras oraba en el aposento: "Al-lah te da la buena nueva de Yahyá, quien dará testimonio de la verdad de una palabra de Al-lah -noble y casto- y un Profeta, de entre los justos."
Da riefen ihm die Engel zu, während er betend in der Kammer stand: "Allah gibt dir frohe Kunde von Yahya (Johannes dem Täufer), der bestätigen soll ein Wort von Allah – edel und rein und ein Prophet, der Rechtschaffenen einer."
قَالَ رَبِّ اَنّٰی یَکُوۡنُ لِیۡ غُلٰمٌ وَّ قَدۡ بَلَغَنِیَ الۡکِبَرُ وَ امۡرَاَتِیۡ عَاقِرٌ ؕ قَالَ کَذٰلِکَ اللّٰہُ یَفۡعَلُ مَا یَشَآءُ ﴿۴۱﴾
قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَقَدۡ بَلَغَنِيَ ٱلۡكِبَرُ وَٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٞۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱللَّهُ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۝
He said, 'My Lord, how shall I have a son, when age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?' He answered, 'Such is the way of Allah: He does what He pleases.'
He said, [d]'My Lord, how shall I have a son,[408] when age has overtaken me already, and my wife is barren?' He answered, 'Such is the way of Allah; He does what He pleases.'
d. 19:9, 10. (close)
408. Ghulam means a youth (Lane). Zachariah's query was a spontaneous expression of innocent surprise at the Divine promise. It also contained a veiled prayer that he might live long enough to see the child born and grow up into a young man. (close)

a. 19:9, 10. (close)
غلام (son) is derived from غلم i.e. he became excited by lust or carnal desire. اغتلم الشراب means, the beverage became strong in its influence upon the head. غلام means: (1) a young man, one whose moustache is growing forth; (2) a son, a male child; (3) a man of middle age; (4) a male slave or servant (Lane).
Zachariah's question contained in the words, how shall I have a son? implies no disbelief on his part in God's promise, as alleged by the Bible (Luke 1:20). It is simply a spontaneous expression of innocent surprise at the divine promise. It also contains a veiled prayer that he might live long enough to see the child born and grow up into a young man. Zachariah has referred to his old age and the barrenness of his wife to make God's mercy take a practical shape all the more speedily.
The expression کذالك الله یفعل ما یشاء may be rendered as: (1) thus Allah does what He pleases; (2) this is really so, but Allah does what He pleases; (3) such is the way of Allah, He does what He pleases. (close)
اس نے کہا اے میرے ربّ! میرے کیسے بیٹا ہوگا جبکہ مجھے بڑھاپے نے آ لیا ہے اور میری بیوی بانجھ ہے۔ اس نے کہا اسی طرح اللہ جو چاہتا ہے کرتا ہے۔

Il dit : « Seigneur, comment aurais-je un fils alors que la vieillesse m'a atteint et que ma femme est stérile ? » Il répondit : « C'est ainsi ce que Allāh veut Il le fait. »
Dijo: "¡Mi Señor!, ¿cómo voy a tener un hijo, si la vejez se ha poderado de mí, y mi mujer es estéril?". Él respondió: "Así es el designio de Al-lah; Él hace lo que quiere".
Er sprach: "Mein Herr, wie soll mir ein Sohn werden, wo das Alter mich überkommen hat und mein Weib unfruchtbar ist?" Er antwortete: "So ist Allahs (Weg), Er tut, wie es Ihm gefällt."

He said, 'My Lord, appoint a token for me.' He replied, 'Thy token shall be that thou shalt not speak to men for three days except by signs. And remember thy Lord much and glorify Him in the evening and in the early morning.'
[e]He said, 'My Lord, give me a commandment.'[409] He replied, 'The commandment for thee is that thou shalt not speak to men for three days[410] [a]except by signs. And remember thy Lord much and glorify Him in the evening and in the early morning.'

409. Zachariah was to abstain from speaking for three days, and, then, was the promise to be fulfilled. He was not deprived of his power of speech, as the Gospels seem to allege, as a punishment for his not believing the words of God (Luke, 1:20-22). (close)
410. The commandment about keeping silent was intended to afford Zachariah a suitable opportunity for passing his time in meditation and prayer—a condition particularly helpful in attracting Divine mercy and grace. Refraining from speech has also been found helpful, in some cases, in making one regain one's lost vitality and physical strength. This practice seems to have been in vogue among the Jews of those times. (close)

b. 19:12. (close)
332. Commentary:
It appears from the Bible that tokens or signs for the fulfilment of certain prophecies used to be fixed in former times. Sometimes certain phenomena of nature were fixed as such tokens. For instance, Gen. 9:17 fixes the rainbow as a token for the fulfilment of God's promise that there shall be no more flood to destroy the earth. God also appointed the observance of circumcision as a token for the bestowal of the blessings which He promised to Abraham and his seed (Gen. 17:11). Again, the observance of the Sabbath was fixed as a sign for the divine covenant made with the Israelites (Exod. 31:13-17). Similarly, at Zachariah's request God appointed a token for the fulfilment of His promise. Zachariah was to abstain from speaking for three days, and then was the promise to be fulfilled. He was not deprived of his power of speech, as the Gospels seem to allege as a punishment for his not believing the words of God (Luke 1:20-22).
As to the question why the token of keeping silent and refraining from the use of the tongue was fixed for Zachariah, it may be briefly noted that, firstly, it was intended to afford Zachariah a suitable opportunity for passing his time in meditation and prayer—a condition particularly helpful in drawing Divine mercy and grace. Secondly, refraining from speech has also been found helpful, in some cases, in making one regain lost vitality and health. The practice seems to have been in vogue among the Jews of those times (19:27) and is even now resorted to by certain people among Hindus and others. Islam does not recognize such practices as tend to suspend the useful activities of man, but it certainly discourages talkativeness (Tirmidhi, ch. on Birri Was-Silah) (close)
اس نے کہا اے میرے ربّ! میرے لئے کوئی نشان مقرر کردے۔ اس نے کہا تیرا نشان یہ ہے کہ اشاروں کے سوا تُو تین دن لوگوں سے بات نہ کرے۔ اور اپنے ربّ کو بہت کثرت سے یاد کر اور تسبیح کر شام کو بھی اور صبح کو بھی۔
(پھر) اس نے کہا اے میرے رب! میرے لئے کوئی حکم دے۔ فرمایا کہ تجھے یہ حکم ہے کہ تو لوگو ں سے تین دن تک اشارہ کے سوا بات نہ کرے اور اپنے رب کو بہت یاد کرے اور شام اور صبح اس کی تسبیح کرے۔
Il dit : « Mon Seigneur, donne-moi un signe quelconque. » Il répondit : « Ton signe sera que pendant trois jours, tu ne devras communiquer avec les hommes que par gestes. Et souviens-toi beaucoup de ton Seigneur, et glorifie-Le le soir et au petit matin. »
Dijo: "Mi Señor, señálame una prueba". Él respondió: "Tú prueba será que no hablarás a los hombres durante tres días a no ser con gestos. Y recuerda mucho a Tu Señor y glorifícale en el ocaso y en el alba".
Er sprach: "Mein Herr, bestimme mir ein Gebot." Er antwortete: "Dein Gebot soll sein, dass du drei Tage lang nicht zu Menschen sprechen wirst, außer durch Gebärden. Gedenke fleißig deines Herrn und preise (Ihn) am Abend und am frühen Morgen."
وَ اِذۡ قَالَتِ الۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃُ یٰمَرۡیَمُ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ اصۡطَفٰکِ وَ طَہَّرَکِ وَ اصۡطَفٰکِ عَلٰی نِسَآءِ الۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ ﴿۴۳﴾
وَإِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصۡطَفَىٰكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَٱصۡطَفَىٰكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَآءِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ۝
And remember when the angels said, 'O Mary, Allah has chosen thee and purified thee and chosen thee above the women of all peoples.
And remember when the angels[411] said, 'O Mary, Allah has chosen[412] thee and purified thee and [b]chosen thee above all women of the time.
411. The use of the word "angels" in the plural number has its own significance. If the mere conveying of a message was intended, only one angel could have acted as a message-bearer. In the Quranic idiom the use of the plural number signifies that, as God intended to bring about, through Mary's son, a great change in the world, affecting various spheres of life, He ordered all the different angels connected with the relevant spheres to take part in conveying the message, thus calling upon all of them to help him in bringing about the desired change. (close)
412. In this verse the word "chosen" has been used twice. In the first place it has been used in regard to Mary without reference to any other person, signifying her exalted position absolutely; while in the second place it has been used to express her high position in relation to other women of her time. According to the usage of the Qur'an, the expression Nisa'il-'Alamin does not here refer to the women of all times and all ages, but only to the women of the specific time in which Mary lived. (close)

And remember when the angels said, 'O Mary, Allah has chosen thee and purified thee and [a]chosen thee above the women of all peoples.[333]
a. 3:34. (close)
As Yahya (John) was the forerunner of Jesus (Mal. 3:1; 4:5), the Quran has first mentioned the prophecy relating to him and then has proceeded to give a detailed account of the birth and prophethood of Jesus along with a brief mention of his mother, Mary, which is meant as a preliminary to the real subject. In the present verse the word "chosen" has been used twice. This is not without purpose. In the first instance the word has been used in regard to Mary without reference to any other person, signifying her exalted position absolutely; while in the second case it has been used to express her high position in relation to other women of her time. It need not be mentioned that, according to the usage of the Quran, the word 'alamin (peoples) does not here refer to all times and all ages, but only to the specific time in which Mary lived. See also 2:48.
The use of the word الملائکة (angels) in the plural number is also not purposeless. If the mere conveying of a message was intended, only one angel could act as a message-bearer.
Why then did God order a number of them to speak to Mary? In the Quranic idiom the use of the plural number signifies that, as God intended to bring about, through her son, a great change in the world affecting various spheres of life, He ordered all the different angels connected with the relevant spheres to take part in conveying the message, thus calling upon all of them to help in bringing about the desired change. See note on angels in 2:31. (close)

413. Many of the facts which the Qur'an has brought to light regarding Mary are not found in the previous Scriptures. Hence, they are here spoken of as "things unseen." As narrated in the verses that follow, Mary had become pregnant, while leading a life of dedication in the Temple. The priests grew anxious when they came to know of the startling fact. They feared scandal and disputed among themselves and cast lots to decide as to who should take charge of Mary and arrange her disposal in marriage. One Joseph, a carpenter, as mentioned in the Gospels, was hit upon as a suitable person to be her husband and was persuaded to accept the awkward situation. All this was naturally done in secret and so it was a Ghaib (a thing unseen) which the Qur'an has brought to light. (close)

اقلامھم (their arrows). اقلام is the plural of قلم (an arrow). They say قلم الشیء i.e. he cut the thing. قلم الظفر means, he clipped the superfluous part of the nail (Aqrab). القلم means; (1) a reed used for writing after being pared or shaped into a pen, i.e. a reed-pen; (2) a headless arrow used for drawing lots; (3) an arrow or a dart (Aqrab). It was customary among Arabs to use arrows for drawing lots as well as in gambling, etc.

414. Kalimah means, a word; a decree; a command (Mufradat). This word along with the word, Ruh, occurring together in 4:172 makes it clear without a shadow of doubt that, far from establishing it, these words have been used to demolish and repudiate the doctrine of the so-called divinity and sonship of Jesus. In it Jesus has been called Kalimatullah because his words were helpful to the cause of Truth. Just as a person who helps the cause of Truth by his valour is called Saifullah (the Sword of God) or Asadullah (the Lion of God), so was Jesus called Kalimatullah because also his birth did not take place through the agency of a male parent but by the direct "command" of God (19:22). Besides the literal meanings given above the Qur'an has used the word Kalimah in the following senses: (1) "a Sign" (66:13 & 8:8); (2) "punishment" (10:97); (3) "plan" or "design" (9:40); (4) "glad tidings" ( 7:138 ); (5) "creation of God" (18:110); (6) "a mere word of mouth" or "a mere assertion" (23:101). Taken in any of the above senses, the use of the word Kalimah about Jesus in no way gives to him a status higher than that of other Prophets. Moreover, if Jesus has been called Kalimah (word) in the Qur'an, the Holy Prophet has been called Dhikr, i.e. a book or a good speech (65:11, 12), which evidently consists of many Kalimat (words). In fact, if Kalimatullah is taken in the sense of "Word of God," the utmost we can say is that God expressed Himself through Jesus just as He expressed Himself through other Prophets. Words are nothing but a vehicle for the expression of thoughts. They do not form part of our being nor do they become incarnated. (close)
415. Al-Masih is derived from Masaha which means, he wiped off the dirt from the thing with his hand; he anointed it with oil; he journeyed through the land; God blessed him (Aqrab). Masih, therefore, means (1) one anointed; (2) one who travels much; (3) one blessed. Al-Masih is the Arabic form of Messiah which represents the Hebrew Mashiah, i.e. Anointed One (Enc. Bib.; Enc. Rel. & Eth.). Jesus was given this name because he was to travel much. But if in pursuance of the Gospel narrative, his ministry be admitted to have been confined to only three years and his travels to only a few Palestinian or Syrian towns, the title of Masih in no way befits him. Recent historical research, however, has established the fact that after having recovered from the shock and the wounds of crucifixion, Jesus travelled far and wide in the East and finally reached Kashmir to give his message to the Lost Tribes of Israel who lived in those parts. See also 2000 where Jesus is spoken of as having been afforded shelter in a hilly tract of land. Masih as stated above also means "One Anointed." As the birth of Jesus was out of the ordinary and was liable to be looked upon as illegitimate, therefore, to remove this possible accusation, he was spoken of as "being anointed" with God's own anointment, even as all Prophets of God are anointed.

کلمة (word) means, a word; an expression; a proposition; a sentence; a saying; an argument; an assertion; an expression of opinion (Lane); a decree; a commandment (Mufradat). See also 2:38.
المسیح (Messiah) is derived from مسح. They say مسح الشیء i.e. he wiped off the dirt from the thing with his hand; or he passed his hand over it. مسح الشیء بالماء means he passed his hand, wetted with water, over the thing. مسحه means he anointed him or it with oil. مسح فی الارض means, he set forth journeying through the land. مسح البیت means, he compassed or went round the House of God. مسحه بالسیف means, he struck him with the sword and killed him. مسحه الله means, God created him blessed and goodly; and contrarily, God created him accursed and foul. مسیح therefore, means: (1) one anointed, i.e. wiped over with some such thing as oil; (2) a king; (3) one beautiful in the face; (4) one who journeys or travels much; (5) one very truthful; (6) one erring greatly; (7) one created blessed and goodly; (8) one created accursed and foul (Lane). المسیح الدجال means, Antichrist; one erring greatly and created accursed and foul; one travelling much, spreading false ideas. المسیح is the Arabic form of Messiah which represents the Hebrew Mashiah, i.e. anointed one (Enc. Bib. and Enc. of Rel. & Eth.)
عیسی (Jesus) is probably a Hebrew name in which it has the form الیسوع or یسوع from which the inverted Arabic form is عیسی. In Arabic, the word may be considered to have been derived from the root عیس or عوس. The word العیس means, white camels, the whiteness of whose hair is mixed with a dark shade, and these are looked upon as particularly good animals. عاس الرجل ماله means, the man managed his property well. عاس معیشته means, he improved and bettered his life (Aqrab & Lisan). Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua and Jeshua (Enc. Bib.)
ابن مریم (Son of Mary) is a surname of Jesus known in Arabic as Kunyah. Jesus has been called Ibn Maryam probably because, being born without the agency of a male parent, he could not but be known after his mother. For the word Mary see 3:43.
The word کلمة (word) as used in this verse requires some explanation, particularly because it has been quoted by Christian missionaries in support of the ridiculous allegation that by using it the Quran has recognized the sonship of Jesus. The occasion on which the verse was revealed would throw some light on the significance of the word.
The first 83 verses of this Surah were revealed when the Christian deputation from Najran visited Medina and had a discussion with the Holy Prophet about the status and personality of Jesus. Being silenced on other points, they asked the Holy Prophet whether the word Kalimah had been used in the Quran concerning Jesus, and, receiving a reply in the affirmative, they triumphantly shouted that they had won and rose to depart without waiting for the explanation of this much misunderstood word. The occasion and circumstances of the revelation of the relevant verses show that they were revealed not in support, but in refutation and repudiation, of the Christian doctrine of the divinity of Jesus. The words کلمة (word) and روح (mercy) occurring together in 4:172 make it clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that they have been used to destroy and repudiate the doctrine of the divinity and sonship of Jesus rather than establish it. The full verse referred to above runs as follows: O People of the Book, exceed not the limits in your religion, and say not of Allah anything but the truth. Verily the Messiah Jesus, Son of Mary, was only a Messenger of God and a fulfilment of His word (کلمة) which He sent down to Mary and mercy (روح) from Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers and say not, 'They are three. Desist, it will be better for you; verily Allah is the only one God. Far is it from His holiness that He should have a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and sufficient is Allah as a guardian. The words speak for themselves.
Curiously enough, some Christian writers have asserted that the Holy Prophet did not understand the real significance of the word Kalimah. The word is Arabic; and to say that an Arab of the Holy Prophet's knowledge and intelligence did not know its meaning or significance is simply absurd. It is a fact that neither the Holy Prophet nor any of his followers ever attached to this word any extraordinary significance which might exalt Jesus over the rest of humanity. Large numbers of Christians have accepted Islam in the past. While studying the Quran, they must have come across this word several times but none of them ever took it in the sense in which our Christian critics pretend to take it, and none of them ever believed in the godhood of Jesus on account of this expression having been used in the Quran.
The great lexicographers, the author of Tajul-'Urus, says that Jesus has been called Kalimatullah because his words were helpful to the cause of religion. Just as a person who helps the cause of religion by his valour is called Saifullah (the Sword of God) or Asadullah (the Lion of God), so is the expression Kalimatullah. According to the same authority, Jesus was called Kalimatullah also because his birth did not take place through the agency of a male parent, but by the direct "command" of God (19:21, 22).
Besides the literal meanings given above, the Quran has used this word in the following senses: (1) "a sign" as in 66:13 and 8:8; (2) "punishment" as in 10:97; (3) "plan" or "design" as in 9:40; (4) "glad tidings" as in 7:138; (5) "creation of God" as in 31:28 and 18:110; (6) "a mere word of mouth" or "a mere assertion" as in 23:101.
Taken in any of the above senses, the word کلمة (Kalimah) in no way gives to Jesus a status higher than that of other Prophets.
Again, if Jesus has been called Kalimah (word) in the Quran, the Holy Prophet has been called Dhikr, i.e. a book or a good speech (65:11, 12), which evidently consists of many Kalimat (words). In fact, if Kalimatullah is taken in the sense of "word of God," the utmost we can say is that God expressed Himself through Jesus just as He expressed Himself through other Prophets. Words are nothing but a vehicle for the expression of thoughts. They do not form part of our being nor do they become incarnated.
The personal pronoun in the expression اسمه (his name) occurring in the verse, being in the masculine gender, evidently cannot refer to Kalimah, which is in the feminine gender. It can only refer to the person about whom the glad tidings was given. The relevant clause of the verse may, therefore, also be rendered as, "O Mary, Allah gives thee glad tidings with a word, (i.e. by means of revelation) from Him; his, (i.e. the promised one's) name shall be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary."
Jesus has been called Masih (Messiah) in this verse and the word Masih, as given under Important Words above, means one who travels much. Jesus was given this name because he was to travel much. But if in pursuance of the Gospel narrative, Jesus' ministry be admitted to have been confined to only three years and his travels to only a few Palestinian or Syrian towns, the title of Masih in no way fits him. Recent historical research has, however, established the fact that after having recovered from the shock and the wounds of crucifixion, Jesus travelled far and wide in the East and finally reached Kashmir to give his message to the lost tribes of Israel who lived in these parts. In this connection see also 23:51, where Jesus is spoken of as having been afforded shelter in a hilly tract of land. مسیح (Masih)also means "one anointed". As the birth of Jesus was out of the ordinary and was liable to be looked upon as illegitimate, therefore, to remove this possible accusation, he was spoken of as "being anointed" with God's own anointment, even as all true Prophets of God are anointed. Jesus has also been so spoken of because, like a thing anointed with oil, the water of sin could not penetrate him. It could only just touch his skin but could not sink into it nor remain there (Matt. 4:1-11). In contrast to it, the high spiritual rank of the Holy Prophet of Islam may be judged from a well-known saying of his wherein he says that his Satan had turned Muslim and urged him to do nothing but good (Musnad & Muslim), meaning that not only could no satanic touch harm him but that Satan had become virtually non-existent for him. Nay, it means even more; for, the words signify that the Holy Prophet had been provided with such a powerful spiritual transformer that even satanic suggestions were converted into veritable forces of virtue in him.
The expression, of those who are granted nearness to God, also gives to Jesus no higher position than that of a righteous servant of God. All people advanced in righteousness have been spoken of in the Quran as being granted nearness to God (56:11, 12). (close)

418A. Primary meaning of the word Mahd is the state or period of preparation when one is, as it were, being prepared and made smooth for the duties of ripe age. The fact that the two periods of Kuhulah and Mahd have been mentioned together shows that there is no intervening period between them. The entire period before Kuhulah (middle age) is Mahd. (close)
418B. Kahl means, one of middle age or of the age when one's hair becomes intermixed with hoariness; or it means, one who is between thirty or thirty-four and fifty-one years of age or between 40 and 51 (Lane & Tha'labi).
That Jesus spoke words of wisdom in his childhood has nothing miraculous or supernatural about it. Many intelligent and well brought up children speak like that. The whole sentence means that he would speak to people words full of extraordinary wisdom and spiritual knowledge, much beyond his years and experience, both in the period of preparation which is youth and in his middle age. The reference to the two distinct periods of Jesus's life may also be taken to hint that his speaking in the latter period would be of a different nature from that in the former. In the latter period he would speak to men as a Prophet of God. Thus the glad tidings given to Mary consisted in the fact that Jesus was not only destined to be an intelligent young man but was also to live to a ripe old age as a righteous servant of God. (close)
'And [a]he shall speak to the people in the cradle and when of middle age, and he shall be of the righteous.'[336]
المھد (cradle) is the noun-infinitive from the verb مھد. They say مھد المكان i.e. he made the place plain, even or smooth for himself. مھد فراشا means, he spread a bed for himself and made it even and smooth. مھد لنفسه خیرا means, he prepared good things for himself. مھد له منزلة سنیة means, he prepared or established for him a high station or position. مھد لنفسه also means, he gained or earned or sought to earn sustenance, etc. for himself. المھد means, a place prepared for a child and made plain, even or smooth that he may sleep in it; a child's cradle; a bed; a thing spread to lie, recline or sit upon; a piece of plain ground or a smooth expanse (Lane & Aqrab). In its verbal senses the infinitive مھد would also mean, making a thing even and smooth; preparing a thing; preparation; gaining or earning a sus-tenance, etc.
کھلا (of middle age) is the noun-infinitive from کھل i.e. he was or became of middle age اکتھل الرجل means the man attained middle age. اکتھل النبات means, the plant became tall and full grown and blossomed. کھل means, one who is of middle age, or one who is of the age when a person's hair becomes intermixed with hoariness; or one who is between thirty or thirty-four and 51 years of age (Lane & Aqrab); or one who is between 40 and 51 years of age (Tha'labi).
It is evident that by the words, he shall speak, the Quran does not mean simple utterance of words; for such speaking is done by all children and all grown up men except the few congenitally dumb. The expression is, therefore, meant to refer to a particular kind of speaking, i.e. speaking wisely or speaking words of wisdom. Similarly, the clause, in the cradle and when of middle age, refers to the two periods of childhood and manhood when Jesus would speak words of wisdom, thus indirectly hinting that he would not die young but would live to a good ripe age. According to Ibn Qayyim, a writer of great eminence, some scholars have denied the crucifixion and (the so-called) ascension of Jesus at the age of 30 or 33 on the ground that Jesus was, according to the Quran, to speak to men when he was a Kahl, i.e. of middle age. This shows that these scholars look upon Tha'labi's definition as the correct one.
That Jesus spoke words of wisdom in his childhood has nothing miraculous or supernatural about it. Many intelligent and well brought up children speak like that. Luke supplies an instance of how Jesus spoke in childhood: "And when they had fulfilled the days, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem. And it came to pass that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers" (Luke 2:43-47).
The Quranic reference to the two distinct periods of Jesus' life may also be taken to hint that his speaking in the latter period was to be of a different nature from that in the former. In the latter period, he was to speak to men as a Prophet of God. Thus, the glad tidings given to Mary consisted in the fact that Jesus was not only destined to be an intelligent child but was also to live to a ripe age as a righteous servant of God.
It should, however, be noted that the expression "in the cradle" does not necessarily mean childhood. The word مھد(cradle) has not been used in the verse literally but only broadly to signify the period of unripe age, i.e. that preceding کھولة or full-grown manhood. In fact, as shown under Important Words, مھد does not originally mean a cradle. That meaning is rather secondary, the primary meaning being the state or period of preparation when one is, as it were, being prepared and made even and smooth for the duties of ripe age. The fact that the Quran has mentioned the two periods, (i.e. "in the cradle" and "middle age") side by side also shows that there is no intervening period between them. The entire period before کھولة (middle age) is that of مھد i.e. a period of preparation; otherwise the verse would become a dispraise rather than praise; for in that case the insinuation would be that Jesus did not speak wisely in the period lying between childhood and middle age.
Finally, it may be noted that, according to the Quran and authentic Hadith, Jesus did not die on the cross at the age of 33 but lived up to a very old age, but of this we would speak later at its proper place. (close)

419. The news of a son, however happy, in ordinary circumstances, must have greatly perplexed Mary who was not only still unmarried but was also meant to remain so for life. The verse reflects her justified perplexity. It also shows that Jesus had no father, as hinted in Mary's words, no man has touched me. Having been dedicated to the service of the Temple, Mary could not, consistently with her vow of celibacy, marry. If she was to marry and have children in due course, there was no occasion for her to be surprised when the birth of a child was announced to her by the angel in a vision. No normal girl would be surprised, if she were told in a vision that a son would be born to her; for she would naturally infer that the promised child would be born to her after marriage. In the Gospel of Mary, the vow of celibacy is clearly referred to. We have it in chapter 5 of the said Gospel that when the high priest made a general order that all the virgins living in the Temple who had reached their fourteenth year should return home, all other virgins complied with the order but "Mary, the virgin of the Lord" alone answered that she could not comply with it; and for this refusal of her she assigned the reason that both she and her parents had dedicated her to the service of the Lord, and that she had vowed virginity to the Lord, which vow she was resolved never to break (Gospel of Mary, 5:4, 5, 6). Mary's subsequent marriage with Joseph was thus contrary to the vow and against her own wish. She was, however, compelled by circumstances to marry when found with child. The priests had to arrange her marriage to avoid scandal. It does not, however, appear from the Gospels how Joseph was prevailed upon to consent, for he was obviously in the dark about her being pregnant at the time of marriage (Matt. 1:18,19). Presumably, some plausible excuse was found to justify the breaking of the vow. For a detailed account of the manner of the birth of Jesus see 1750}-{1755. (close)

Christians and Jews are both agreed that the birth of Jesus was something out of the ordinary–the Christians holding it as supernatural and the Jews as illegitimate (Jew. Enc.). Even in the family birth register, Jesus' birth was recorded as such (Talmud). This fact alone should constitute a sufficient proof of Jesus' birth being out of the ordinary. But it was neither supernatural nor illegitimate. To quote only one medical authority: "Medical men have not ruled out altogether the possibility of natural parthenogenesis of the production of a child by a female, without any relation to a male. Such a statement off-hand appears ridiculous, yet its possibility, from a purely biological standpoint, under certain conditions cannot be disregarded. Dr. Timme calls attention to this possibility as the result of a certain type of tumours, known as arrhenoblastoma (from the Greek words for "male" and "germ") which are occasionally found in the female pelvis or lower body. These tumours are capable of generating male sperm cells. Naturally, if these male sperm cells were alive and active and came in contact with the female's own egg cell or ovum, conception might occur. There is nothing illogical in this process of reasoning…Dr. Timme states that there are twenty authentic cases reported in Europe in which an arrhenoblastoma had been found to develop male sperm cells…The arrhenoblastoma is a tumour that contains blastodermic cells...These cells are creative structures and are capable of development at any time and the fact, therefore, that arrhenoblas-tomacontaining these "embryonic cells" might create testicular tissue, capable of producing male sperm cells seems scientifically not impossible. If living male sperm cells are produced in a female body by arrhenoblastoma, the possibility of self-fertilization of a woman, even though a virgin, cannot be denied. That is to say, her own body would produce the same result as though sperm cells from a man's body had been transferred to hers in the more usual way, or by a physician's aid" (American Medical Journal).
There are cases on record of children having been born without fathers: "A young girl of great moral purity became pregnant without the slightest knowledge of the source… There is a case of pregnancy in an unmarried woman, who successfully resisted an attempt at criminal connection and yet became impreg-nated and gave birth to a perfectly formed female child" (Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine by George M. Gould, A.M., M.D., and Walter L. Payle, A.M., M.D., published by W. B. Saunders & Co., London). (close)

7 Key Benefits from Outsourcing Your IT Support - NiE Network it Easy, Inc.
I can see why a company would want to outsource their IT services after reading this. I like your point about how outsourced IT services utilize automated patching solutions for their software. Having constant updates to enhance security and software would be ideal for any business with sensitive information stored I bet.
Ray, you make a great point about how having a primary server crash can be a disaster for a business. Having an experienced outsourced IT support system that can help fix and restore the functionality within minutes could be a lifesaver. I would assume that most smaller companies might not have all of the time and expertise to run their own IT department. Using an outside IT support group could help a business owner focus on more important things.
I like how you pointed out that outsourcing your IT needs can lead to a more timely response for assistance requests. This would definitely be helpful since time is money in the business world. Being able to resolve technological issues quickly would definitely make outsourcing IT worth it.
My brother's firm is planning to expand, however, their computer and other IT needs are not sufficient. According to this article, hiring IT support will greatly increase timely response. Moreover, annual technology planning will make sure that both hardware and software are updated.
That is really great that if you outsource your IT support that they can respond within 15 minutes. It would be really nice to get help with a problem that fast. I will have to see if my workplace would like to try and outsource our IT support.
I like what you said about timely responsiveness because that is exactly what I am looking for in an IT guy. Getting quick responses when I run into an issue is important so that I can reduce downtime and get real work done. I think having a fast and capable IT guy in any business can really help in getting the company to success.
It's great to know that MSP's are up to date with the technological advancements and that they can easily adapt and apply such to their clients for added customer value and efficiency. The simplest example of a fast-going technological update would be the system update on our mobile phones and how it prompts on the screen on a weekly basis. This can be helpful for starting business owners as they don't need to study IT-related materials as there are outsourced IT companies that can support them with the technological needs of their business. If I were a business owner, I wouldn't hesitate in investing on an IT company to protect my files and ensure its security at all costs. Thank you!
I agree that one of the biggest benefits of hiring an IT service is that they are more up-to-date on technology and they stay with the updates coming out as well. I would imagine that if you aren't staying on top of technology, it can leave you in the dust. In my opinion, every company needs to have some sort of IT help to keep their business running smooth.
My sister is thinking of outsourcing IT support for her company and she is wondering if outsourcing is the best choice, so I am glad that I found this article. You make a great point that outsourcing will provide timely support and automated problem resolution. Also, the fact that they will handle important technology updates is great so that my sister and her co-workers don't have to worry about that and can focus on other aspects of the business.
Thanks for the information on how outsourcing IT management can help you work with professionals and get technology planning so you can make sure you have all the necessary computer hardware and software. When choosing one, you'd probably want to research IT management companies by looking online. This could help you learn more about their services and experience so you can find one that is familiar with your industry and will be able to help you know what technology you need.
I agree that it would be nice to have someone specialized in IT support for a business. That will probably ensure quick responses, like you said. They will be able to focus solely on your company's needs and make any needed repairs or troubleshooting as soon as possible.

Disney abandoning UHD Blu-ray for catalog titles - rumor - FlatpanelsHD
Disney abandoning UHD Blu-ray for catalog titles - rumor
10 Aug 2020 | Rasmus Larsen |
Disney has made the decision to no longer release catalog titles from its own vaults as well as recently acquired 20th Century (Fox), according to a report by The Digital Bits.
All power to Disney+
Beyond new, major theatrical releases from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm (Star Wars) and 20th Century Studios (née Fox), there are no plans to release catalog titles on UHD Blu-ray after the release of Home Alone next month.
That is, in essence, the rumor making the rounds. The company has not commented publicly on its plans but multiple retail and industry sources have "essentially confirmed" the situation, the report said.
Why? Disc sales continue to drop year after year and the company is now dedicating almost all of its attention and home entertainment ressources to Disney+ and streaming distribution in general.
Disney will continue to release catalog titles in 4K HDR but only through digital storefronts and Disney+.
James Cameron's Avatar may be the exception as Disney, after the purchase of 20th Century Fox, is planning to turn Avatar into a major franchise.

Q: Why not working Search function with Select functions? Using PHP, jQuery,Ajax I want to using select function and search function on the web.
And want to show people DB data Tables Columns in the web.
If I was using 'or' In $sql, It's works search function.
If I was using 'and' In $sql, It's works select function.
But I want to using both functions.
What's wrong with my codes?
How to can I get both functions?
This is 'load_data_select.php' script codes.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  function load_data(query)
  {
    $.ajax({
      url:"load_data.php",
      method:"POST",
      data:{query:query},
      dataType:"text",
      success:function(data)
      {
        $('#show_product').html(data);
      }
  });
  }
  $('#search_text').keyup(function(){
    var search = $(this).val();
    if(search != '')
    {
      load_data(search);
    }
    else {
    load_data(search);
    }
  });
   $('#Category').change(function(){
        var Category = $(this).val();
        $.ajax({
             url:"load_data.php",
             method:"POST",
             data:{Category:Category},
             success:function(data)
             {
               $('#show_product').html(data);
             }
          });
     });
     $('#Obtain').change(function(){
        var Obtain = $(this).val();
        $.ajax({
             url:"load_data.php",
             method:"POST",
             data:{Obtain:Obtain},
             success:function(data)
             {
               $('#show_product').html(data);
             }
        });
     });

   });
</script>

This is load_data.php.
If change 'or Category' to the 'AND Category',
then working select function. but not working search function.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM 190406test2
 WHERE Name LIKE '%".$_POST["query"]."%'
 or Category = '".$_POST["Category"]."'
 or Obtained_From = '".$_POST["Obtain"]."'
 ";
 $result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
 if(isset($_POST["query"]) or
 isset($_POST["Category"]) or isset($_POST["Obtain"])
 )
 {
   if($_POST["query"] != ''
     or $_POST["Category"] != '' or $_POST["Obtain"] != '')
      {
           $sql;
      }
      else
      {
           $sql = "SELECT * FROM 190406test2
           ";
      }

I expect the output of working select function and search function,
but the actual output is only select function or search function.

A: 1) To use both function you need a new button :
While using ajax, form-tags are really not necessary. You can just keep your input fields packed in a div-inputscontainer this way :
<div id="inputs_container">

<input type="text" id="inp1"></input>
<input type="text" id="inp2"></input>
<input type="text" id="inp3"></input>
<button  id="submit_btn">Save</button>

</div>

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {

   $("#submit_btn").click(function() {

var Obj_allinputs = new Object();

$("#inputs_container input[type=text]").each(function() {
        Obj_allinputs[this.id]=this.value;
    });

$.ajax({
         url:"load_data.php",
         method:"POST",
         data:Obj_allinputs,
         success:function(data)
         {
           $('#show_product').html(data);
         }

}</script>

2) in load_data.php :
$sql='SELECT * FROM 190406test2';
if(count($_POST)>0)  $sql.=' WHERE '

//if(isset($_POST["search"])) sql.=" Name LIKE '%?%' OR ";

$ar_bindparam=array();
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$val)
{
    $ar_bindparam[$key] = $_POST[$val];
    if($key=="search") sql.=" $key LIKE '%?%' OR ";
     else sql.=" $key = '?' OR ";
}
$sql = preg_replace('#(\sOR\s)$#', '', $sql);

//$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);  //weak regarding injection

 //$db     = new mysqli("localhost","root","","tests");
 if(  $stmt = $db->prepare($sql) )
 {  //stmt is of type mysqli_stmt
    if(count($ar_bindparam)>0)
    {
    $ar_bindparam = array_merge(array(str_repeat('s', count($ar_bindparam))), array_values($ar_bindparam));
    $ref    = new ReflectionClass('mysqli_stmt');
    $method = $ref->getMethod("bind_param");
    $method->invokeArgs($stmt,$ar_bindparam);
      //FOR php version < 5.3 : call_user_func_array(array(&$stmt, 'bind_param'), $ar_bindparam);
    }
$smt->execute();

  //echo $result in the right format back to your ajax call
}

Alienware Introduces Concept Nyx, a Game Relay Server on Your Local Network
Andre Follow on Twitter Send an email January 3, 2022Last Updated: January 3, 2022
Just a couple of days before the official start of CES 2022, we have seen how some companies have begun to advance their entire line of announcements for this year, with various products from Samsung or Dell, who, through their Alienware gaming brand, presents us with a new concept of game broadcasting service with which we can move and continue our games between different platforms.
The basic idea behind the so-called "Concept Nyx" by Alienware is none other than creating a server powerful enough to run and broadcast all our games within our home network, thus being able to open them from any of the compatible intelligent devices within this network, such as televisions, mobiles or computers.
Given the incredible popularity of this streaming service for games such as Stadia or Xbox, which PlayStation would soon join, Alienware could have found an attractive solution for those households where multiple players live together. And it is that as they showed during a recent demonstration in New York, in which some international media such as Engadget were able to participate, this platform seems to be able to run at least up to two games simultaneously.
Although it does not seem like a remarkable feat for an online service, it changes notably when we talk about playing both juices on the same device. However, as detailed by the American media, unfortunately, these games were running in relatively small windows, significantly damaging the experience. However, it is undoubtedly a rather unusual scenario.
On the other hand, it should be noted that since all rendering and processing will be done directly over our home network, Concept Nyx will offer a lower latency experience than current cloud gaming services, which are based on hundreds of servers miles away.
However, it should be noted that at the moment, it is only a concept, so even though it already has a platform for demonstrations, we still do not know its development status or even if the company will finish completing a superior product. Alienware has wanted to maintain great secrecy about how the Concept Nyx servers are powered, so they could still be trying to solve some of the main points.
Finally, we cannot mention that these Concept Nyx promotional images show us the Alienware Concept UFO controller, a portable PC similar to the Nintendo Switch, and the Steam Deck that was presented for the first time ago. Two years, and that, unfortunately, still has not been given.
In this way, two possible futures are presented: either Concept Nyx could end up taking the same path and end up as "what could have been," or we could be before the next joint presentation of two exciting products for the gaming scene.

Russian servicemen prepare to launch a drone during the Indra 2016 joint Russian-Indian military exercise at Sergeyevsky base.
A robotic mobile system provided to the Russian military will pinpoint enemy drones, and direct the air defence systems in their direction.
The Russian army is set to receive a unique robotic system which will be able to detect light reconnaissance and attack drones without help from humans. The system stays invisible in the radio frequency region, not allowing its anti-radar missiles to be destroyed.
The "Non-radiating radar system" (NRS), developed by JSC Zavod Elektromash, is a small remote-controlled all-terrain vehicle, with rubber tracks, the shell of which is equipped with a receiving antenna of the passive radar. Less than two metres long and 1.5 m wide, the weight tracked platform weighs around a ton. The NRS can reach speeds of up to 12 km/hour, while remaining virtually silent because of the use of the motor. The system can detect enemy drones at a distance of 5 km via the on-board radar and up to 3 km via optoelectronic means.
"Work on developing the system is on and will continue until mid-2017," said Anatoly Sokolov, general director of Elektromash, to Izvestia. "After the complex undergoes all the necessary internal tests, it will be delivered to the Ministry of Defence. The system continues to be improved, and we are also preparing a portable version of the device that can be landed, that will not weigh more than 30 kg, but will save all the performance characteristics of self-propelled device," he said.
The key element of the NRS system is the unique passive radar which, unlike conventional radar, does not emit any signals, and operates on the principle of a powerful antenna receiving signals from other transmitters. It is capable of pinpointing drones on any signals emitted by them. The on-board computer system analyses the data and determines the location of the source.
Leonkov said a more effective device against these drones can be called passive type radars that detect the UAV, regardless of their size, intersecting the operator signals transmitted over the air.
"Such radars, which operate on the principle of the receiver have a serious drawback: they need a large antenna field, which hinders the creation of rapidly deployable mobile passive type radar. As a result, most miniature western samples turn out having a minimum size of vehicle," said Leonkov.
He explained that if the Russian company has been able to create a miniature passive radar, which weighed less than a ton, it was a significant achievement.
"This product is unique and can give a significant advantage to the Russian military on the battlefield," said Leonkov.

Amazing Facts About The Junkers Ju-87 Stuka
German Planes
February 15, 2021 Jesse
Bundesarchiv CC BY-SA 3.0 de
The German Ju-87 Stuka was a purpose built dive bomber and ground attack aircraft, designed in the early 1930s. It first flew in 1935 and was an innovative and unique design. At the time its speed and manoeuvrability were acceptable, but by mid-late WW2 standards they were woefully outclassed by more modern aircraft. Despite this, they would continue to fly until the end of the war.
1. The Ju-87 got its nickname from the German word Sturzkampfflugzeug
Sturzkampfflugzeug means dive-bomber in German, which was shortened to the name the aircraft is known as; 'Stuka'. The official designation was Junkers Ju-87.
The aircraft's name is a shortened version of Sturzkampfflugzeug or 'dive-bomber' in German. Image by Bundesarchiv CC BY-SA 3.0 de.
2. The first Ju-87 flew in 1935, but would crash just a few months later.
The Stuka's early V1 prototype first flew on 17 September 1935. Although it was visually similar to the production model, it differed in a few ways, most noticeably with the British Rolls-Royce Kestrel V12 engine powering it, and the twin vertical stabiliser arrangement at the tail. The latter would be the cause of its crash in early 1936, when it disintegrated under high stresses during testing. As a result, a reinforced single stabiliser was used.
The unique shape of the Ju-87 Stuka was carefully crafted through trial and error.
3. The Ju-87 used wailing 'Jericho Trumpets' to terrify enemies
The Ju-87 was originally equipped with 'Jericho Trumpets' that created the dreaded 'wail' that the Stuka is now famous for. The noise was created by a propeller-driven siren on the front of each landing gear strut. It was intended to intimidate and break the enemy during battle, similar to a war cry. While the noise has now become synonymous with WW2, and more mistakenly as the noise of any aircraft plummeting towards the ground, it actually caused a 15-20 mph decrease in the Stuka's airspeed during a dive. The noise also became an advanced warning to those below, who used the precious few seconds to head for cover.
For these reasons the trumpets were omitted from later aircraft.

4. More than 6,000 Stuka bombers were built in total.
6,000 Stukas were built between 1936 and August 1944. They came in five variants: A series were the pre-production testing and evaluation aircraft, B series aircraft were the first mast produced variant, the R series was similar to the B series but with extended range, the C series was intended to be a carrier based version to be used by the Kriegsmarine, but was eventually cancelled before production, the D series was a naturally improved version of the standard Stuka, with more engine power, a more refined design and better defensive armament and armor. The final G series was a dedicated 'tank buster' variant.

5. The Ju-87 Stuka's fixed undercarriage were sturdy enough for take offs and landings on improvised airfields.
The Ju-87's fixed undercarriage may have been obsolete at the time, but it was implemented early in its development due to a belief that dive bombers should be robust and simple. Fixed undercarriage are simpler, stronger and reduce the amount of systems that can fail in combat conditions. This allowed the Stuka to operate from conditions other aircraft would struggle in. The drawback was a costly reduction in airspeed from the drag the landing gear produced.

6. 13 Stukas crashed in unison during a disastrous dive bombing demonstration.
The incident took place on 15 August 1939 during a mass-formation dive-bombing demonstration for high-ranking commanders of the Luftwaffe. On that particular day, the cloud ceiling was much lower than anticipated, and unexpected ground mist had formed, causing many aircraft to miscalculate when to pull out of their dives. Thirteen Ju 87s, and 26 crew members were lost when they subsequently crashed into the ground.
Dive bombing required a skilled pilot with nerves of steel. This unfortunate event was a first hand display of the inherent dangers involved with dive bombing.
7. The Ju 87 Stuka performed the first bombing mission of the WW2, 11 minutes before the official German declaration of war.

8. The highest decorated German servicemen of WW2 flew the Stuka.
Hans-Ulrich Rudel flew 2,530 combat missions with a claimed total of 2,000 targets destroyed; including 800 vehicles, 519 tanks, 150 artillery pieces, 70 landing craft, nine aircraft, four armored trains, several bridges, a destroyer, two cruisers, and the Soviet battleship Marat. He earnt the highest award available in the Third Reich, the Knight's Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds.
Hans-Ulrich Rudel displayed what the Stuka was capable of in the right hands, destroying literally hundreds of targets, and even making light work of tanks.
9. The Stuka particularly excelled in the anti-tank role with 37 mm cannons.
The ever increasing quantities of well protected Soviet tanks arriving on the mid-war Eastern Front forced the Germans to explore all means of repelling the onslaught. The ageing Ju-87 was used to carry a 37 mm cannon in pods under each wing. The cannons had 12 armor piercing tungsten cored rounds each, and could devastate the thinner roof armor of the tanks below. The guns were very inaccurate however, and added considerable weight to the already slow Ju-87 Stuka. In this role, the Stuka would spend long durations at low altitude, exposed to a hail of small arms fire. Anti-tank versions were fitted with extra armor plating to protect the crew and aircraft.

10. The Stuka featured an automatic pull-up system, that would pull the aircraft out of a dive if the pilot had blacked out.
Contemporary dive bombers at the time would usually dive at angles around 60 degrees, but Stukas would dive at a 90 degree vertical angle. This put immense stress on the aircraft and crew, who needed to be fearless to complete their duty. This terrifying angle presented engineering challenges that had to be overcome, like the crew blacking out when subject to high gs.
During a dive, the Stuka maintained a speed between 340-370 mph by extending dive brakes to stabilize the aircraft, increasing the pilots accuracy. An altitude dependant light would illuminate in the cockpit to signify when to release the bomb. After this, the pilot engaged the automatic pull-up system, which would pull the aircraft out of the dive at around 450 m, putting the crew through through 6 gs. This would often cause pilots to black out, or at least temporarily loose vision.
Once the aircraft was at a particular altitude, the system would automatically close the dive brakes, feather the propeller and open the throttle, where the pilot would then regain control.

The Ju-87's automatic pull-out system wasn't universally liked, as it made the Stuka's dive bombing maneuverer easy to predict. Many pilots were known to disable it.

The final of the Yorkshire Foursomes was played on Sunday 01 October at The Oaks Golf Club between Ganton Golf Club, represented by Tony Hill and David Hague and Woodhall Hills Golf Club, represented by Mark Reed and Ben Rhodes.
The fairways and greens were in good condition and dry compared to areas of the rough after the heavy overnight rain.
Although the match started in rain it cleared up after six holes, unfortunately Woodhall Hills by this point had lost five holes. The score remained the same after eighteen holes.
The second round started similarly with Woodhall Hills losing the first three holes. Ganton then went on to win nine and eight.
In the Club House after the event the Yorkshire President, Alastair Davidson congratulated the players on reaching the final and presented the players with trophies.
