The Art and Craft of Policy Analysis is a classic work of the Public Policy discipline. Wildavsky’s emphasis on the values involved in public policies, as well as the need to build political understandings about the nature of policy, are as important for 21st century policymaking as they were in 1979. B. Guy Peters’ critical introduction provides the reader with context for the book, its main themes and contemporary relevance, and offers a guide to understanding a complex but crucial text.

Lessing J. Rosenwald: Tribute to a Collector honors one of the founding benefactors of the National Gallery of Art and the Gallery’s foremost donor of prints and drawings. The Rosenwald Collection, encompassing works of graphic art from medieval times to the present, is the finest of its kind ever to be formed in the United States by a single individual. Rosenwald’s discrimination as a collector is acknowledged throughout the world, and his perceptiveness and generosity have placed the collection of works on paper at the Gallery among the most respected in the country. In this catalog, entries for works include minimal discussion on the works of art themselves; rather, they address the Rosenwald Collection’s formation and significance by discussing particular works within that context.

The Complete Poetry of Aimé Césaire: Bilingual Edition
Aimé Césaire


Translated by Clayton Eshleman; A. James Arnold

The Complete Poetry of Aime Cesaire gathers all of Cesaire's celebrated verse into one bilingual edition. The French portion is comprised of newly established first editions of Cesaire's poetic oeuvre made available in French in 2014 under the title Poesie, Theatre, Essais et Discours, edited by A. J. Arnold and an international team of specialists. To prepare the English translations, the translators started afresh from this French edition. Included here are translations of first editions of the poet's early work, prior to political interventions in the texts after 1955, revealing a new understanding of Cesaire's aesthetic and political trajectory. A truly comprehensive picture of Cesaire's poetry and poetics is made possible thanks to a thorough set of notes covering variants, historical and cultural references, and recurring figures and structures, a scholarly introduction and a glossary.

Holding fast by Allah’s covenant

This is what we inspire from Allah’s saying: “And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves”, where each party attaches its rope to the rope of the others, through the unity of the rope [Allah stretches out], which signifies Islam in a Hadith and the Quran in another. Whatever it may be, it is undoubtedly the line that attaches all people to Allah: “and remember with gratitude Allah's favor on you; for ye were enemies” before you embraced Islam and before the Messenger of Allah brought you together over belief in Allah to open up to all the spiritual values and practical piety.

This Ayah was revealed about Aws and Khazraj, the two main tribes that constituted the community of Al-Ansar (the Supporters) in Medina, when some Jews tried to make them return to the history of fanaticism, so as to stir their sensitivities and drive them to engage in a conflict and perhaps even fighting: “and He joined your hearts in love” (03:103), and what is meant by hearts in the Quran is the minds, and perhaps even one’s innermost, including one’s emotions, feelings and reactions. Once the hearts are joined in love, they open up to each other and maintain unity in terms of the line followed and results achieved.

Allah has consecrated this unity between the believers through His kindness and mercy, as expressed in the Ayah: “Had you spent all that is in the earth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah united them” (08:63). Allah also says in another Ayah: “Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. You are not a watcher over them” (88:21-22), for you do not own people’s hearts, rather you own the means that could open the hearts and make people come together. Money cannot bring two hearts, two minds, and two directions together; rather, it solves a certain problem, and satisfies one’s greed. It is Allah Who unites them, for He owns people’s hearts and He is the Changer of the hearts.

Salaam,

Insha'Allah all is well. Apologies for the late response. I wanted to have time to write this in detail.

I looked up the provider of the news report "America's Daily report" and all I could find was something called "America's Voice" which seems to be a right-wing media outlet which tends to spend its efforts defending Trump and being anti-immigrant.

After looking up this Shiva Ayyudurai, it seems that he's a known con-artist who seems to be an opportunist, making stories up about how he created email. He himself is not a doctor and is trained in biological engineering.

In the interview, Ayyadurai says a few things that are half-truths, but then to be very misleading.

He states that Fauci and Birx (the doctors who are advising the president) are working to strengthen big pharma. At this point, Fauci and Birx are not recommending any pharmaceutical treatment for coronavirus, so I'm not sure where Ayyadurai is making these conclusions. The virus is spread through respiratory droplets, it is extremely infectious, and it has been causing death worldwide. We are all prone to it, and the only way to reduce spread is to minimize exposure.

Ayyadurai says: "The medical school educaiton is a big pharma education. They are taught 'if this, then this' which is usually a pharmaceutical invervention". For the vast majority of interventions, medical doctors are trained to be as conservative as possible initially, providing natural cures such as exercise, improving diets, avoiding antibiotics for viral infections (which patients often demand). Only when things are at a dangerous point (such as if somebody has very elevated blood pressure, if somebody has very high cholesterol, if somebody is anemic, if somebody has heart disease, if somebody has poorly controlled diabetes), then medications are recommended. Many of these medications have natural sources, but many of them are synthetically created within a laboratory environment. In order for medications to be released to the public, they have to go through many years of trials, initially on non-human subjects and slowly to humans. The companies are definitely profit driven, but the medications that they recommend are based on research that are evidence based. After a medication is widely available, many third parties that have no financial incentive also perform research to assess for different side effects and if the medications are truly beneficial.

Ayyadurai states that Fauci: architected the big lie that HIV is responsible for AIDS. it's a much deeper discusison.... it's the suppression of the immune system." So AIDS is caused by a virus called HIV that reduces the immune system to dangerously low levels, exposing people to very dangerous and before AIDS, rare, infections. The way that AIDS is treated is that, through years of research, certain antivirals have been created to substantially reduce the viral load and the effectiveness of HIV, making people with the disease live normal lives. If HIV has nothing to do with AIDS, how is it that antivirals that treat HIV have saved people from AIDS? He does not seem to have any idea of what he's talking about, honestly.

Ayyudurai states: "When Obama was running, you had nearly 60k deaths with H1n1, here we have 6k-10k deaths, and we don't even know what the numerator and denominator here." So I'm not sure when the video was made, but from my research, worldwide it seems that there are about 18,000 deaths from h1n1. From coronavirus, so far, there have been 153,000 deaths. Ayyadurai has no understanding in public health or epidemiology to be able to comprehend that these specialists are concerned with the POTENTIAL for more deaths instead of looking purely at the numbers.

Ayyadurai states that in hospitals, we have "See drops in pneumonia and the flu, totally cooking of the books". This is false. We rule out influenza before even ordered the test for COVID-19.
