Disciples and Words that Always Work. MP3 audio Sermon in the 'Life-Changing Words' series with complete transcript.
Running time: 24 minutes, 51 seconds.
"Disciples and words that always work"
They tell me that "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades". Apparently that's not always true. I did some looking around this last week and discovered that the leading free throw shooter in the history of basketball was Jeff Hornacek. He averaged 95% of his free throws. Not bad! Out of a 100, he always made 95. Meaning he missed 5. I looked around a little further and discovered that the leading batter in the history of baseball was Ty Cobb with a lifetime average of 366. Which means out of every 1000 times he showed up at the plate he got a hit 366 of those times. If you're a pessimist I suppose and the bottle is half full, that means 634 times he didn't.
In recent years Barry Bonds has been the base leader and he's on-base 60% of the time, which means 40% of the time he's not. And I suppose that's okay in most arenas. I just found myself wondering, however, if this were something other than a major league sport, if you would accept close being good enough.
Like, say 75% of the time your pilot is able to land his plane successfully. How about ah, you know 83% of the time your surgeon enables you to survive? Sometimes it just seems like close isn't quite good enough, is it?
Certainly true for the prophets. If you were a prophet of God in the Old Testament you were expected to bat a thousand. You were expected to be right a 100% of the time. In fact, if you were wrong in one of your prophetic utterances. The punishment was to take you outside the city and to stone you to death. So you either got it right or you didn't get it at all. In fact Isaiah is very clear about the way that the prophetic utterances work. God, in fact, describes himself as the one who says, "I'm telling you in advance how things are going to turn out so that you'll know that I'm God when you see 'em turn out." And of course they always did because the prophets were always right.
We had a chapel speaker a number of years ago who came in and he made this comment. This was the fundamental statement of his sermon. "God says what He means and He means what He says." I pondered that for the last several years. "He says what He means and He means what He says." In other words, if God says it, you can trust Him to do it. That he is, in fact, reliable. His words will come true.
I toyed with that over a couple of Old Testament stories this last week. Just thinking about some times when it must have been extremely difficult to accept that kind of basic premise that God actually knows what he's talking about.
Maybe you remember the story of Gideon. If not, later today go back to your Bibles. It's in the book of Judges. Ah, you'll find it there in Judges 6. Judges is the seventh book in from the beginning, if you have trouble locating it. Israel has been having a difficult time following the ways of the Lord. One of the most common statements in Judges is that they did evil in the eyes of the Lord. Midian, this enemy nation, has basically taken over and is ruling harshly over Israel. God speaks to Gideon and says, I want you to lead my people against Midian. Gideon doesn't want to. He's frightened. God says, "trust me!" "I will be with you." Now the story gets a little complicated for a minute and we'll just bypass that. But here's basically what happens. He calls him to go up against Midian. He says, call forth the army. So 32,000 people show up to go to war. And God says, you have too many.
Now if I'm Gideon and I'm already just a little bit on the weak end of this and I'm not sure that God knows what he's talking about. Awe well, you remember, right? Gideon is such a (well, I don't know if I want to use the word coward) he's just enough lacking confidence that he puts God to the test twice. God you make the ground dry and the fleece wet and I'll know it's really you and so he wakes up the next morning and the ground is dry and he's able to squeeze a cup of water out of this fleece and that's not good enough so he says, let's reverse it. Tomorrow morning you make the ground wet and the fleece dry and that's how it turns out. He shows up with 32,000 men and God says you have too many. Tell the people who are afraid, to just go ahead and go home now and so 22,000 of them leave. So here he is up against the armies of Midian and he's got 10,000 men and God says, Oh, by the way, you still have too many men. So take them down to the river and let them drink. And anybody that gets down on his hands and knees and laps like a dog, send 'em home. If they get down on one knee and they drink out of their hands so that they can still pay attention to what's going on, you can keep those. Those are good soldiers. He ends up with 300. Now that sounds like a pretty good size army. God says, take them and give them a pitcher, a trumpet and a torch. Are you noticing something that's missing here? Like a sword, or a sphere, or any kind of weapon? Surround the city at the appropriate time. Break the pitcher so that the torch is light. Sound the trumpet and I'll take care of it. And you know what happens? Midian flees and Israel is freed. Now it sounds humanly impossible, but God says, you trust me and I'll do this. I think about that statement the preacher made. "God says what He means and He means what He says."
Well, you come into Israel's history just prior to the Judges. You've got the book of Joshua. Joshua comes on the ends of Israel's travels through the forty years through the wilderness. They crossed over the Jordan River. They're ready to take the first major hurdle which is the city of Jericho and here are these profound military instructions. Take your people, walk around the city walls once each day for the next six days. When you get done on the seventh day, walk around the city seven times. Everybody shout and the walls will fall down. And they do!
It sounds humanly impossible and God says, trust me, I will show you how this works. I remember the preacher's statement, "God says what He means and He means what He says."
And I found myself this week asking, what are the things that God comes along and asks of us that strike us as supremely difficult to trust? What are the things that are hard. Well, this is my list. I don't know whether it will even come close to your list. One of the things that I find extremely hard is when God comes along and says to me, things like, you let me be responsible for taking revenge. You allow me to work justice in the situation. You don't try to take care of this yourself. You simply let me do what it is that needs to be done. Instead, what I'd like you to do is to practice mercy and forgiveness and extend grace to people.
In fact, I was reminded again of that passage in Luke 6 where Jesus is talking about the fact that if we extend mercy to others, He will extend mercy to us. It's that passage that says if you will give, it will be given back to you, pressed down, shaken together, running over. It will be given to you. By the way, that's not a finance passage. That's a mercy passage. If you want to receive mercy, you give mercy.
I remember how difficult that was in the first church where I preached. I had a (I will use this term advisedly), a friend who decided he was going to correct me every Sunday after we got done with the Sunday morning service. And at least monthly there would be about an hour or an hour and a half meeting whereby he would take me out behind the proverbial woodshed and let me know everything I had been doing wrong as their preacher. And I remember how offended I was getting and how hard it was getting to be his preacher.
Hah! I will always remember the day that my wife said "You're going to his house and you're going to straighten this out and you're not coming back until you do." Leave it to a wife. If God can't get it done, she probably will.
I remember it taking about fifteen or twenty minutes to drive the six miles to his house and I remember the eighteen mile walk it was up his hundred foot sidewalk. But I do always remember that prayer time in the back room where he and I engaged each other in conversation and forgiveness and grace and are friends to this day. But it wasn't because it was my choice, it was because it was what God had designed in relationship.
What's hard about the thing that God is asking you to do? Is it possible that it's hard for you, for example, to show tolerance to a neighbor or a co-worker who just doesn't seem to be on the same page as you are? Makes it hard for you to live in your place of business or your work or your family?? I think of Romans 12 where we're reminded not to return evil for evil but to return good for evil. To let God take care of that other stuff and you just be gracious in response to all the stuff that goes on around you.
I was talking to one of my students this week. She preaches down on the other side of Decatur. A little tiny church out in the middle of "nowhere". The local mayor. . . .now we're talking a town of like a hundred people. But the local mayor is apparently a real pain in the neck. And he was over in the neighbor's yard one day taking pictures of something that he thought was apparently in violation of one of the local codes when the lady of the house came out and just absolutely ripped him apart, verbally just tore him up and down. Only to discover, a few minutes later, as Mary is telling me this story that, that's one of the members of her church. Not the mayor, but the lady.
Sunday morning, last week, Mary got up and preached about reconciliation and about grace and Sunday afternoon the lady from the church went to the mayor's house and sought his forgiveness for the way she berated him in the backyard and his response was. "No one has ever done that in my entire life."
What is it that's hard about what God is saying, "You trust me, I'll take care of this. You do these things and I'll see you through to the other side." You gotta challenge to your faith to just simply be faithful in your faith? To simply hang in there day after day, week after week, trying to do the thing that you believe is right. Trying to be as consistent as you know how in your Christian walk?
I got an email here a week or so ago from Lisa. I have mentioned Lisa to you before. Lisa is from Keokuk, IA. Lisa was a student who came to school here several years ago whose family basically had thrown her out because she had become a Christian, although there wasn't must family there. She went home one Thanksgiving in order to have Thanksgiving time with her family. She could hear the family inside the house but they wouldn't let her in so she came back and lived in the dorm during Thanksgiving vacation. She tried it again at Christmas. Again, she could hear the people in the house, but they wouldn't let her in. So she came and spent Christmas vacation at our home. In fact, she spent most of her vacations at our house the rest of her college career. But she stayed faithful in the midst of all of that and since then, her mother has given her life to Christ.
What's God asking you to do that's hard that just stretches you beyond your ability to believe that it's possible? I think about those times when I sense in my spirit that God is calling and I need to be a more generous person. I don't have a great deal of difficulty. I must confess to you it's not hard for me to sit down and write a check out to the church but generosity comes more difficult for me in other arenas.
Yesterday was the Dogwood parade. We were standing down at 16th and Maine Street and I had, well, I'd been over harassing the neighbors, but that's another matter. I was walking back to get with the people I started out with and there were kids selling candy bars on the side of the road and I think it was a fund raiser for something. And as I'm walking by they said, "Do you want to buy a candy bar?" Well, I need a candy bar like I need a hole in the head. I'd already had a donut out of the box but don't tell my wife that, okay? I said, "No thank you." I walked on by and she said "Well, would you just give us a dollar?" So I said, "Sure!" and I turned around and I handed her a dollar and she looked at me like, what are you doing??? I wanted to say, you asked for a dollar!!
Do you ever find it hard in the midst of your life when you sense that God is saying I want you to be a more generous person?. That you're just struggling a lot with what that means. Huh!
I can't help but think of 2 Corinthians 8 where Paul says that in the midst of their poverty these Christians gave abundantly beyond their means.
I come back to what the preacher said that day in chapel, "God says what He means and He means what He says." And I come to the text for the day which is Isaiah 55 and I find myself wrestling with this particular text because it has so much to say about our relationship with God and how sometimes it's hard to really believe that God means what He says when it comes to issues of salvation.
Isaiah 55:1 "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that you soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that do not know you will hasten to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor."
Here is Israel in, frankly, almost total disarray facing some of its worst days ahead and God says, Come to me, come to me and I will not charge you anything. Come to me and out of the abundance of what I have to offer, I will give you things that you cannot imagine. Come, even without resources. You don't have the money to buy it, come anyway. Just listen to me, he says. Come to me.
He says in Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
Do you hear the invitation? Come! Come and trust me to give you pardon. Come and trust me. Seek me and you'll live. Come to me and I'll pour out my grace and my mercy on you. Come, just come. Listen and come. And down inside me somewhere, there is this haunting question that says, does he really mean that? Is it that easy? Could it possibly be that simple, that all I have to do is trust him enough to come to Him?
Isaiah 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Do you hear it? He understands the human psyche . He knows that inherent in us is this hesitance to trust what he says. It sounds like it's too good to be true. And so he says, your thoughts are not like mine. Your ways are not like my ways. If we're talking about human beings, of course I don't think you can trust other peoples words to always be true. But remember, I'm God! And you can trust me. When I send out my rain, it waters the ground. When I send out my word, it does what I say it will do and it never returns to me empty.
If you were here a couple of weeks ago I read to you that email from my friend up in New Hampshire, John, about the young man that he had met at work at Best Buy who had been coming to church for just a little while and had decided to kind of open himself up and ask if Jesus, could in fact, really be true. That he would at least listen and see if God began to work in his life??? I got an email from John again this week. Guess what? That young man has given his heart to Christ.
Do you hear it? God says, if you will trust me, if you will listen to me, my word will come to you and it will not return to me empty. It will accomplish that for which I sent it.
He says at the end of this chapter, Isaiah 55:12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed."
He says look at what you're going to receive. I will give you peace and joy and purpose and fruit in your life if you will just trust me. And I hear those words from the preacher so many years ago. "God says what He means and He means what He says."
I just want to know about myself. Do I really trust Him? Do I believe it when He says what He says and am I willing to put my whole life on the line for that very reason? I wonder that about you. Do you really trust Him? I mean, when it comes right down to the hardest things in life, do you really trust Him? His thoughts and your thoughts may not be the same, most likely they're not since He's God and we're not. But he says, I send forth my word. It will not return to me empty. If you will trust me I will do what I promised. Come to me, he says and live. Seek me and live. Trust me. I do what I promise. I am 100% he says. My word never fails.
And so we ask, have you trusted Him? Have you put yourself in a position where you have allowed yourself to simply trust His word - even when His word doesn't make a lot of sense.
Those of you who still haven't decided whether or not you want to give your life to Him - ya know there is really no way that we can tell you anything other than what we've already told you and that is, if you will trust Him, He will make it right. He'll do it, but until you've experienced it, there's no way to know that it's true.
I know sometimes it doesn't make any sense but he comes to you and he says, if you really want to have life, you've got to die to yourself. If you really want to live, you've got to turn your back on an old way of life and walk in a new way. I know this doesn't make any sense to a rational American audience. If you want new life in Christ, you need to submit yourself to a watery death and be baptized. It's a messy experience. It's not even pleasant. You came to church all dressed up like you were gonna go someplace important and what we want to do is stick you in a dunk tank and make you look like a drowned rat.
It doesn't make any sense in the human heart. God says, do you trust me? Because if you'll come to me, if you'll listen to me, I will forever change your life. So we invite you to trust Him. Whatever it is that he's calling for, we invite you to trust Him(end of side one). . . . . . . . . . . . .(side two) true.
We're going to stand and sing together.

Citylets currently advertises the portfolios of over 400 letting agents. Between them and our database of hundreds of private landlords, we advertise over 50,000 properties a year - a great start to your search for the ideal rented property.
Letting agents will charge the landlord for their services - usually a percentage of the monthly rental value of the property. Letting agents may also charge tenants an admin fee for managing their details, such as reference and credit checking and managing their deposit. They may also charge a holding fee, which is a percentage of the tenant's deposit, to ensure that the property is secured for them.
Letting agents often come under the same branch as an estate agent due to the nature of their services, however many agents deal exclusively with residential lettings. They often have particular expertise in their local area and will be able to give general advice on the rental market - alternatively, refer to the Citylets Property Rental Report.
To find an agent, use our directory of online letting agents. Also refer to sources such as ARLA - the Association of Residential Letting Agents, or your local council for advice.
Finding an agent can be difficult - particularly if you are looking to rent outside of your immediate area. Search with us to find a letting agent near you or near where you are looking to rent. Use the city search to browse by city, or simply type in a name, town or postcode for a more detailed search. The directory will provide you with a comprehensive list of agents in your area.

Movie Charts
========================================================
author: Oszkar Jozsa
date: February 2015

Inroduction
========================================================

This presentation will introduce the Movie charts webapp
that was a Course Project for the Developing Data Products class of
the Johns Hopkins University, hosted by Coursera.

Access to the application

- [Live version](https://oszkar.shinyapps.io/developingdataproductsclass/) on ShinyApps
- [Code and data](https://github.com/Oszkar/developingdataproductsclass) on GitHub

Movie charts can run in any modern browser, suggested resolution is full HD.
Mobile devices are technically supported, hovewer, due to the nature of the charts, the
app might not be that useful on small screens.

Movie Charts
========================================================

Movie charts is a simple webapplication that visualizes some properties of
the [IMDB](http://imdb.com) top 250 movies. The dataset used by the webapp also contains
the [Rotten Tomatoes](http://www.rottentomatoes.com) (RT) data for those movies so
comparisons between the two sites are possible.

Movie charts also offers (a very dummy) prediction tool for predicting movie earnings.

Functionalities
========================================================

- Ratings: IMDB and RT ratings can be visualized against each other or against release
date of the movie. Bubble size of the chart is also customizable, it can correspond to
IMDB/Rotten Tomatoe rating number or the [Metascore](http://www.metacritic.com).
Lastly, the color of the bubbles also customizable, it can represent MPAA rating or release data
(exact year or decade)
- Box office: A simpler chart where box office can be visualized agains the IMDB
or RT data or release date. Also a prediction tool can be used to predict box office earnings.
- Data retrieval: Description and code describing how the movie data was acquired
- Data and Data download: Online viewer and downloader for the movie data
- Help / Manual: a simple help page

Technical details
========================================================

- Movie charts uses standard ShinyApp features, using `fluidFlow`s on several `tabPanel`s
- Data is loaded from a local JSON that was acquired via the [OMDB API](http://omdbapi.com).
See Data retrieval menu in the app for more details
- `shinyAce` library is used to display code
- For the box office prediction, the simplest possible prediction is used by fitting a linear model (trendline)
on the data and using that line to predict Y values for X values that are entered by the user
- Charts are displayed using the `googleVis` package
- This presentation is done in R Studio's R presenter (.Rpres)

Pits. Overview of the site looking approximately north with Mangeheia Road in the background.
Copyright: Heritage New Zealand. Taken By: Joanna Wylie. Date: 14/11/2007.
Pits. Regional map of Tolaga Bay and surrounds showing the location of pits Y17/128. Map prodced from MapWorld Topomap V2.0 (2).
Registration includes part of the land described as Pt Paremata 3A Block, Gisborne Land District and the archaeological site Y17/128 (New Zealand Archaeological Association Site Record Number).
New Zealand Archaeological Association Site Record Number Y17/128 is a pit site that forms part of the dense archaeological landscape of the Tolaga Bay (Uawa) area. It is located on Iwinui Station, to the west of the Tolaga Bay township.
Pit sites and the many other recorded archaeological sites including pa, midden, gardens and urupa reflect the intensive Maori occupation of the Tolaga Bay from the time of initial Polynesian settlement approximately 700 years ago. Access to abundant food resources from the sea, rivers, inland forests and horticultural production (kumara) meant that a large population could be sustained. It has been estimated that the early Maori population of Tolaga Bay totalled approximately 1200; and the main iwi was Te Aitanga a Hauiti.
Pit and pit/ terrace sites are very common in Tolaga Bay, and demonstrate the importance of horticulture to Tolaga Bay's earliest inhabitants. The Bay's fertile soils and temperate climate were well suited to kumara gardening, and the pits were used for storing harvested kumara over the winter months. Rectangular storage pits (which were once roofed with a layer of earth), are more prevalent than the underground storage pits found elsewhere in New Zealand, a pattern attributed to the harder substrate of the soil in this area. They are in fact the most common archaeological site type in Tolaga Bay, and are found along the river banks and on the rolling hills to the south of the Bay. They are generally located in clusters on knolls or terraces, or on ridge crests, in lines from end to end, as found with this site -Y17/128.
Pit site Y17/128 is located just north of the high point in the ridgeline that leads north of the Pukeatua trig, and is currently under pasture. It is approximately 700 metres east of Mangaheia Road. There are a number of other recorded archaeological sites (mostly pits and pit/ terraces) in the vicinity, particularly on the major ridgeline with Pukeatua trig at its peak.
This site was first recorded by archaeologist Kevin Jones during his archaeological survey work in the Whangara, Tolaga Bay and Uawa Catchment areas in 1982-1983. This survey work was undertaken to gain information about the nature of prehistoric settlement in this locality, and also to evaluate specific sites for registration under the Historic Places Act 1980. Jones undertook a 'hurried' visit to the site in the rain, and recorded a total of five pits along the ridge top; the southern three pits were clearly visible, but the northern two pits were described as 'faint'. The three southern pits measured approximately 4 metres x 2 metres x 1 metre (depth).
Archaeologist Vanessa Tanner revisited the recorded archaeological sites on Iwinui Station in 2000 as part of the New Zealand Archaeological Association Site Recording Scheme Upgrade Project. The completed Site Record Form for Y17/128 actually seems to illustrate the northern part of pit site Y17/127 however, and it appears that part of Y17/128 may possibly have been re-recorded and assigned a new site record number - Y17/510.
The New Zealand Historic Places Trust undertook a site visit to Y17/128 in November 2007 and no major changes were noted. The ridgeline was not fenced and the site appeared as originally recorded, with three distinct pits at the southern end, and three faint pits to the north.
Y17/128 is one of numerous pit and pit/terrace sites recorded in the Tolaga Bay area. It is part of a dense archaeological and cultural landscape that is of considerable significance to Te Aitanga a Hauiti, reflecting the intensive Maori occupation and settlement of the Tolaga Bay area since the 14th - 15th centuries AD, and the important role that horticulture played in this.

French watchdog blasts Microsoft over Windows 10's privacy failings
By Darren Allan 2016-07-21T10:46:00.202Z
Redmond has three months to comply with the French Data Protection Act
A French regulatory body has blasted Microsoft over Windows 10's habit of hoovering up plentiful user data, giving Redmond a deadline in which the firm must do something about it.
This warning comes from the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), which has issued an ultimatum to Microsoft to clean up its act in the privacy stakes and comply with French data protection regulations. Redmond has three months to do so or the software giant risks being fined.
The CNIL insists that Microsoft must "stop collecting excessive data and tracking browsing by users without their consent", and furthermore that the company must ensure "satisfactory measures" are taken in terms of keeping user data confidential and secure.
The regulatory body listed Windows 10's failings which went beyond excessive data collection to include complaints about a lack of security, specifically the fact that Redmond doesn't limit the amount of login attempts that can be made with a PIN to a user's Microsoft account (or other online services).
The company was also criticized for sending data from the EU back to the US under 'safe harbor' when the latter is now irrelevant in Europe thanks to a recent EU ruling.
Having such a strongly worded official warning fired at it will obviously be a major concern for Microsoft, particularly seeing as there has been much talk for a while now about how Windows 10 plays relatively fast and loose with user data.
Indeed, in a survey of companies we highlighted earlier today, while IT pros praised Windows 10 for many strengths, their major concern with the OS was 'data privacy guarantees'.
Microsoft has responded to this matter, and as the Register reports, David Heiner, deputy general counsel, issued a statement to say: "We built strong privacy protections into Windows 10, and we welcome feedback as we continually work to enhance those protections. We will work closely with the CNIL over the next few months to understand the agency's concerns fully and to work toward solutions that it will find acceptable."

The National Park Service is soliciting comment on its Self Evaluation and Transition Plan for Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. This Self Evaluation and Transition Plan (SETP) intends to improve accessibility park-wide, and resulted from the work of a National Park Service (NPS) interdisciplinary design team, including planning, design, and construction professionals; and interpretive, resource, visitor safety, maintenance, and accessibility specialists. Site plans, photographs, and specific actions for accomplishing work in priority park areas were developed, and associated time frames and implementation strategies were established to assist NPS staff in scheduling and performing required actions and to document work as it is completed. Park policies, practices, communication, and training needs were also addressed. The goal of a SETP is to design an effective plan to improve the park's accessibility by upgrading services, activities, and programs at park areas and to instill a culture around universal access by employing means to convey information to the widest population possible and by prioritizing ongoing staff training. This plan includes major findings from the self-evaluation process, as well as a plan for improving accessibility park-wide. Compliance in association with the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act is not part of this plan and will be addressed on a case-by-case basis as the plan is implemented.


David Schubert, the senior author of the Salk Institute study on THC and Alzheimer's disease.
A new study suggests that marijuana may have potential for protecting brain cells against Alzheimer's disease.
Published in the June 2016 issue of Nature, the study found that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in marijuana, and other active cannabis compounds could block the progression of the disease.
Lab tests by the Salk Institute, a Southern California, non-profit research organization, showed that marijuana compounds could remove harmful amyloid beta proteins, the plaque that accumulates on brain cells, which is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The compounds in the study also significantly reduced cellular inflammation, a major contributor to the onset of the disease.
For more on the study, read L.A. Weekly's article on the effect of marijuana on Alzheimer's disease.

New book praises Don Tyson's leadership
It won't be a New York Times bestseller, but Don Tyson and his business leadership is front and center in a new book filled with Tyson's ideas on doing things the right way.
Written by a former Tyson vice president and titled "I Refuse to Have a Bad Day," the book chronicles the business techniques of former chairman and CEO of Tyson Foods, Don Tyson and other company leaders, past and present. It's a business read.
Paul Whitley, the author, who now lives in Texas, writes: "Don's road to success was not a freeway of inherited wealth or years of post graduate work. Don is someone who learned experiential and by a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. He became one of the foremost effective and results-driven transformation leaders in the food industry."
A pretty good testament of praise from a former employee.
In other feather news, Tyson Foods and its help will be appreciated along the Gulf Coast. Tyson sent 26 truckloads of chicken and pork to food banks in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi recently to supply more than 3.2 million meals to Gulf Coast residents affected by recent hurricanes. It's part of Tyson Foods commitment to hunger relief through a partnership with Feeding America, formerly known as America's Second Harvest.
BIG QUESTION
In a lifetime, how many pounds of food will a normal human eat? See end of this column for the answer.
A new clothing line will soon appear at Walmart. Designer Max Azaria's "To The Max" line will bring higher priced clothing to the world's largest retailer. Can this association be a part of Walmart's rag merchandising department move to NYC? We will have to see if it will play out here in the sticks.
NOW REOPEN
As Daddy W. predicted a couple of weeks back, the Little Bread Company on Block Avenue in downtown Fayetteville, has reopened. Good for them.
GREENHOUSE SOON
Daddy W's seeing that the dirt's been removed from around Greenhouse Grille, which is a good thing. A major construction project of rebuilding a failing retaining wall behind the restaurant, closed the eatery temporarily, but hopefully it won't be long now 'til they're open.
NEW FOLKS
Two management changes have been noticed on Dickson Street of late. John McMillan is the new ops manager at Hog Haus Brewing and Jeremy Smith will head-up the bar activities at Common Grounds.
OGDEN MESS
There is a nasty lawsuit brewing over the impending sale and previous loans made to Athletic World Advertising, the once thriving sports poster company on North College. The company once headed by the late Greg Ogden, was a money machine when he was alive, but it's now mired in a lawsuit. AWA is also up for sale, sources tell Daddy W.
HIGH PRICES
Daddy W. has asked this before. Folks will pay big bucks $75-$100 for classical music superstar, Itzhak Perlman who performed this week at Walton Arts Center and all the while, the North Arkansas Symphony is seemingly floundering to find enough financial support to hold its season together. Heck, you can almost get a season ticket to all the NWA Symphony gigs for not much more than that $75-$100.
DIXIE DOWN
As predicted weeks ago, Dixie Development and former Fayetteville optician Dr. Ben Israel, have filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The puckish eye doctor sold his practice and began some of the early retail development in Fayetteville. But the economic downturn and other events led to the filings last week.
A&P IN JULY
The mid-summer Advertising and Promotion Tax numbers for July, one of the deadest of summer months is out. On top was Chartwell's Dining with a whopping $5,090 in tax revenue, next were Golden Corral, Logan's Roadhouse, Chick-Fil-A and Red Lobster. The 6-10 place finishers were: Olive Garden, Razorback 12 Cinema, Shogun, Jason's Deli and Penguin Ed's. A careful reader asked Daddy W. to list the bottom five, too. Here goes. Of the top 66 restaurants reporting, at the bottom, at number 66, was Colton's Steakhouse ($759 taxes collected), with Starbucks, Wal-Mart Deli (near the mall), Pesto Café and Hugo's rounding out the list.
The Clarion was the top grossing hotel in the July A&P tax receipts followed by Hampton Inn, Courtyard by Marriott, Inn at Carnall Hall and the Holiday Inn Express. The bottom five of the 14 hotels reporting were: Red Roof Inn and Sleep Inn at the bottom with $580 in taxes with Comfort Inn, County Inn Suites and Days Inn, not too far ahead.
BIG ANSWER… In a lifetime an average human will eat about 60,000 pounds of food.

Louisiana man attacked during Grindr date pushes for hate crime charges in case
By Jessica Schladebeck
A man attacked during a Grindr date wants hate crime charges brought in the case. (Anthony DelMundo / New York Daily News)
Holden White, a gay man who was violently attacked while meeting up with a date earlier this year, is pushing for hate crime charges in the case.
The 19-year-old Louisiana man was stabbed on June 20 during what should have been a date orchestrated through Grindr, a dating app primarily used by gay and bisexual men.
"Eventually, I saw a light," White told the Acadiana Advocate over the weekend. "And you're not going to go away from the light. I went towards the light. I went far enough until I woke up in the hospital."
White woke up from a coma in a hospital several days later, when he first learned of the attack. He'd been strangled and stabbed several times in the torso — doctors said he was lucky to be alive.
Chance Seneca has since been arrested in the brutal incident and White is pushing for hate crime charges. He said the 19-year-old suspect convinced him to come to his home the night of the attack and that he was specifically targeted because of his sexual identity.
"He could have done this to a woman," White said. "Instead, he chose to do something to someone who's gay and proud about his sexuality."
Seneca remains in custody at the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center.

Twenty years ago Susan Tolchin, then a professor at George Washington University, published The Angry American: How Voter Rage is Changing the Nation. Sadly, Professor Tolchin died in May 2016 so she could not witness the outcome of that rage in the presidential campaign and election.
Her discussion of the "jobs dilemma" is particularly interesting since she was writing well before the Great Recession and the growth of the internet and widespread globalism. "The public isn't stupid," she wrote, emphasizing that Americans know that new jobs in this economy often pay low wages that they are working harder for less.
Tolchin called for creative leadership and community building to guide anger to a higher path.
Reading Tolchin is akin to reading the news reports and columnists of the last two years. It reminds us that our experience in 2016 is neither new nor unusual. On the other hand, we cannot ignore this voter anger which threatens to undo many of the advances of the past 10 years. Tolchin's analysis should motivate those of us who believe in democracy and in the importance of government to become involved beyond the boundaries of our offices, classrooms and campuses.
Perhaps as academics and practitioners of public administration, we have become so focused on our narrow professional or disciplinary issues that we have forgotten the essential ground of effective democracy: a strong community. That community has been fractured. In Washington, the geniality and civility that characterized politics 20 or 30 years ago has disintegrated into strident bipartisanship, where even social events have become politicized. In states and cities, that has also occurred. In Wisconsin, for example, Democratic senators left the state because Republicans—who controlled the legislature—refused to engage in debate. It is time to begin to rebuild that community.
Tolchin's call for leadership should be an imperative that we use our experience and expertise to work with citizens to develop leadership, critical thinking, collaborative decision making and reasoned problem-solving. We should take what we understand about democracy, about government, about public administration, and about effective participatory processes and share it with citizens. We should find ways to communicate information about effective practices identified in research to citizens in general, not only to our peers. We should take lessons on leadership, on decision making, or even on the analysis of data to the community, through outreach programs or citizen academies. We should become active members of state and local issue groups or community groups so that our voices can be heard.
It is frustrating to read Tolchin and realize that the anger she described did indeed grow and may even have become mainstream. This does not mean we must surrender in defeat to this anger. We can choose to be like Mencken, misanthropes, and watch our country devolve into authoritarianism and conflict. We can also choose to believe in the ability of the American people to use democratic practices in this new world order and in our ability to use our reasoned and experienced voices to change to public discourse.
Author: Susan Paddock is a University of Wisconsin-Madison emeritus professor who lives and works in Las Vegas. She is the former director of Certified Public Manager programs in Arizona and Wisconsin and has published in the areas of leadership, organizational development and human resources. Susan wishes she could have interviewed Dr. Tolchin on her thoughts on the 2016 election. Email [email protected].
I don't think it is accurate to tie the anger and political fragmentation to "problems of the public sector." The root causes go way deeper into public policy. A goal for public administrators is to implement policies that promote the well-being of the community. But public administrators don't create policy. Policy, in our representative democracy, is dependent on an informed electorate. In that spirit, it seems that we have a responsibility to share with the community information about the workings of government. That applies especially in the areas that are driving the anger that boiled over in the November election. At the same time, as Joanne Roll points out, we need to be sensitive to the concerns of the public we profess to serve.

-Public employees have secure, well paying jobs, with good benefits including retirements. More and more these are the jobs that have evaporated from the private sector. Taxpayers are expected to support public employees in jobs that the taxpayer can not get. Public Employee Unions are a target of the upcoming administration.
-There are well publicized government fiascos that have enraged the public and rightly so. Such disasters are not typical of the work that public employees do, but they are the ones getting all the attention. In Colorado, there are two examples. The first is the building of the VA hospital that is billions over budget and years beyond the date in which it should be finished. This is coupled with the real problems that veterans are having securing medical care. The second is the the EPA engineered mine spell of toxic chemicals into a river in southern Colorado endangering fishing, recreational use, and farming, without consequence for the EPA.
-The protests and occupation of the Wisconsin teacher union angered people all over the country and has resulted in the state of Wisconsin rejected the political party that supported such actions.
I would recommend that attention be paid to the problems of the public sector before attempting to "educate" our fellow citizens.

This latest model from Mares shows how manufacturers continue to distill all the best qualities of jacket-style BCs. There's no leap in technology here, but everything works together to bring out the comfort, stability and practicality divers are looking for in a jacket. Divers liked the fit and adjustability, from the comfortable cummerbund to the easy-adjust buckles that swivel on the shoulder straps. The pockets are large, accessible and useful even when the BC is well inflated, and the power inflator nestles nicely in your hand. Weight pockets load without fuss and are secure, unobtrusive and easy to ditch. Test divers would have liked another couple of D-rings, and perhaps a little more adjustment in the cummerbund overstrap. But altogether the Prestige 2 MRS+ is a nicely designed and constructed BC. It is our Testers' Choice for jacket BCs.

Fidel Castro proclaimed himself to be "a socialist, a Marxist, and a Leninist".[1] As a Marxist and Leninist, Castro believed strongly in converting Cuba and the wider world from a capitalist system in which individuals own the means of production into a socialist system in which the means of production are owned by the workers. In the former, there is a class divide between the wealthy classes who control the means of production (i. e., the factories, farms, media, etc.) and the poorer working classes who labor on them, whilst in the latter, there is a decreasing class divide as the government redistributes the means of production leading to communism.
Marxism is the socio-political theory developed by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the mid-19th century. It holds as its foundation the idea of class struggle, i. e., that society mainly changes and progresses as one socio-economic class takes power from another. Thus, Marxists believe that capitalism replaced feudalism in the early modern period as the wealthy industrial class, or bourgeoisie, took political and economic power from the traditional land-owning class - the aristocracy and monarchy. In the same process, Marxists predict that socialism will replace capitalism as the industrial working class, or proletariat, seize power from the bourgeoisie through revolutionary action. In this way, Marxism is believed by its supporters to provide a scientific explanation for why socialism should, and will, replace capitalism in human society.
Leninism refers to the theories put forward by Russian revolutionary, political theorist, and politician Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik Party, who was a leading figure in the October Revolution that overthrew the Russian Provisional Government and replaced it with the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic under the rule of the Communist Party. Taking Marxism as its basis, Leninism revolves around putting forward ideas for how to convert a capitalist state into a socialist one. Castro used Leninist thought as a model upon which to convert the Cuban state and society into a socialist form.
InfluencesEdit
"What talent and abilities! What thought, what resolve, what moral strength! He formulated a doctrine, he propounded a philosophy of independence and an exceptional humanistic philosophy".
—Fidel Castro on Martí, 2009[2]
Castro described two historical figures as being particular influences on his political viewpoints: the Cuban anti-imperialist revolutionary José Martí (1853–1895), and the German sociologist and theorist Karl Marx (1818–1883). Commenting on the influence of Martí, he related that "above all", he adopted his sense of ethics because:
When he spoke that phrase I'll never be able to forget – 'All the glory in the world fits into a grain of corn' – it seemed extraordinarily beautiful to me, in the face of all the vanity and ambition that one saw everywhere, and against which we revolutionaries must be on constant guard. I seized upon that ethics. Ethics, as a mode of behavior, is essential, a fabulous treasure.[3]
On the other hand, the influence which Castro took from Marx was his "concept of what human society is", without which, Castro argued, "you can't formulate any argument that leads to a reasonable interpretation of historical events".[4]
On the Soviet Union and its leadersEdit
Although a Leninist, Castro remained critical of Marxist–Leninist Joseph Stalin, who was the Premier of the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1953. In Castro's opinion, Stalin "committed serious errors – everyone knows about his abuse of power, the repression, and his personal characteristics, the cult of personality", and also held him accountable for the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany in 1941. At the same time, Castro also felt that Stalin "showed tremendous merit in industrializing the country" and "in moving the military industry to Siberia", things which he felt were "decisive factors" in the defeat of Nazism.[5]
On Israel and anti-SemitismEdit
In September 2010, The Atlantic began publishing a series of articles by Jeffrey Goldberg based on extensive and wide-ranging interviews by Goldberg and Julia E. Sweig with Castro, the first of which lasted five hours. Castro contacted Goldberg after he read one of Goldberg's articles on whether Israel would launch a preemptive air strike on Iran should it come close to acquiring nuclear weapons. While warning against the dangers of Western confrontation with Iran in which inadvertently, "a gradual escalation could become a nuclear war", Castro "unequivocally" defended Israel's right to exist and condemned anti-Semitism while criticizing some of the rhetoric on Israel by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, under whom Iran–Israel relations became increasingly hostile:
I don't think anyone has been slandered more than the Jews. I would say much more than the Muslims. They have been slandered much more than the Muslims because they are blamed and slandered for everything. [Iran must understand] Jews were expelled from their land, persecuted and mistreated all over the world, as the ones who killed God. The Jews have lived an existence that is much harder than ours. There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust.
Asked by Goldberg if he would tell Ahmadinejad the same things, Castro responded: "I am saying this so you can communicate it." Castro "criticized Ahmadinejad for denying the Holocaust, and explained why the Iranian government would better serve the cause of peace by acknowledging the 'unique' history of anti-Semitism and trying to understand why Israelis fear for their existence".[6]
Public imageEdit
By wearing military-style uniforms and leading mass demonstrations, Castro projected an image of a perpetual revolutionary. He was mostly seen in military attire, but his personal tailor, Merel Van 't Wout, convinced him to occasionally change to a business suit.[7] Castro is often referred to as "Comandante" ("Commander"), but is also nicknamed "El Caballo" ("The Horse"), a label that was first attributed to Cuban entertainer Benny Moré, who, on hearing Castro passing in the Havana night with his entourage, shouted out: "Here comes the horse!".[8]
During the Cuban Revolution campaign, fellow rebels knew Castro as "The Giant".[9] Large throngs of people gathered to cheer at Castro's fiery speeches, which typically lasted for hours. Many details of Castro's private life, particularly involving his family members, are scarce as the media is forbidden to mention them.[10] Castro's image appears frequently in Cuban stores, classrooms, taxicabs and national television.[11] Despite this, Castro had stated that he did not promote a cult of personality.[12]
Castro took a relatively socially conservative stance on many issues, opposing drug use, gambling, and prostitution, which he viewed as moral evils. Instead, he advocated hard work, family values, integrity, and self-discipline.[13]

In 2012, NICHICON CORPORATION led the industry in developing and launching a household energy storage system. Since that time, we have been a leader in the sales and development of these systems, having produced and sold 50,000 units to date. In 2009 we began supplying an onboard charger for the i-MiEV. This vehicle, produced by Mitsubishi Motor Corporation, was the first mass-produced EV in Japan. That same year, we also started mass-producing Quick Chargers for EVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs), which can be used to configure a charging infrastructure. In 2012, we developed and introduced the world's first V2H system, which allows EVs and PHVs to be connected to the home.
The price people receive for selling electricity produced by electric power has been falling each year. As such, we expect demand for in-home consumption of solar power generation to gradually increase. In particular, 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of Japan's feed-in tariff (FIT) system for solar power. From that year, customers across Japan are expected to begin shifting from the sale of electricity produced by solar power generation to the consumption of this power in the home, necessitating the addition of household energy storage systems. At the same time, the market is expected to see a sharp increase to electricity-powered EVs and away from vehicles powered by gasoline engines.
NICHICON aims to promote renewable energy by maximizing solar power generation. In addition to enabling customers to make use of electricity generated by solar power, in June 2018 we plan to begin selling a tribrid energy storage system™, which will also enable the charging of EVs. The tribrid energy storage system™ links solar cells to the onboard batteries of EVs and PHVs, as well as storage batteries via direct current, providing an efficient connection. This total energy system is suited to a variety of usage scenarios.
Consumers who utilize EV's for their daily commute or activities are able to store electricity in storage batteries that has been generated by the sun. At night, the vehicles can be connected to the Elemove™*1 (which stands for the "movement of electricity"), so that everyday driving is powered by the electricity that homes produce themselves.
This system transfers electricity used to charge storage batteries to an EV. Conversely, it can be used to transfer electricity from a charged EV to a storage battery.
People who have energy storage systems can make use of the systems in the event of a power outage. They can also use at night electricity that has been generated during the day using solar power and stored. In addition, having a tribrid energy storage system allows customers to make use of the electricity stored in an EV, providing security in the event of a prolonged power outage.
The number of storage batteries in the tribrid energy storage system can be increased if demand for electricity rises as a family grows. Alternatively, if a family is planning to purchase an EV, they can buy an additional V2H stand. Such flexibility allows the system to be tailored to fit a customer's lifestyle.
Solar cells and EVs' onboard batteries are connected to storage batteries using direct current, which eliminates conversion loss and enables highly efficient operation. Consequently, this energy storage system heralds an era of electrical self-sufficiency.
Customers can control all of the various operating modes with a centralized indoor remote control. In addition to seeing at a glance the solar cell charging volume, amount of charging or discharging between storage batteries and EVs, and the Elemove™, this simple remote control has screens that allow users to check past operations and maintenance. If connected to a network, the remote control facilitates 24/7 protection of the energy storage system. The system also facilitates output control, as well as virtual power plant (VPP) and other external controls that are slated to begin in the future, and can be operated without a home energy management system.
In addition to making use of solar power generation in the home, the system can be combined with an EV to reduce everyday energy costs.
The ESS-T1 (Type 1) provides integrated control of a solar cell, storage battery and EV. Charging and discharging for each of these units uses direct current, so is highly efficient. The ESS-T2 (Type 2) provides integrated control of a storage battery and EV.
With an affordable battery capacity of 4kWh, the unit can be augmented to 8kWh in accordance with changing life stages.
In addition to grid electricity, this system also allows quick charging from solar cells and storage batteries. During normal operations, the V2H stand charges EVs using solar power generation or inexpensive nighttime power. The electricity stored in the EV can be used to power the vehicle, as well as to supply power to the home, helping to reduce household expenses. During power outages, an EV can supply electricity to the home, providing security by serving as backup power in times of emergency. The stand is slim, as it employs power modules*7 made from next-generation power semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC)*8.
Operation is simple, using a 5-inch color LCD touch panel. The indoor remote control is provided as standard equipment.
We offer a flexible range of tribrid energy storage system™ configurations, including the selection of Type 1 or Type 2, according to users' needs: building a new house, becoming involved in solar power generation for the first time, nearing the end of a 10-year feed-in tariff (FIT) period, relatively little experience with solar power generation.
Businesses: Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, film capacitors, Posi-R® positive thermistors, household energy storage systems, V2H systems, EV/PHV quick chargers, public and industrial power storage systems, switching power supplies, function modules, power sources for medical accelerators, power sources for academic study accelerators, equipment used during blackouts or as temporary backup, etc.
