I Samuel 26-27: David Among the Philistines
The Adult Bible Class of Home Moravian Church, originally broadcast Oct. 26, 2008
Craig D. Atwood
Introduction: Good morning and welcome to the Adult Bible Class of Home Moravian Church in beautiful Winston-Salem, NC. I hope it has been a good week for you and those you love. I want to give a shout out to Tripp Fuller who just moved to California to pursue a PhD in theology. Tripp was in my first class at Wake Forest and was very helpful to me. He's the reason I have a blog titled theflamingheretic, where you can access all of my Bible lessons. The most exciting thing in my life this week was a trip to the dentist. Dr. Leal is an old friend and he told that he took the best class at Salem College recently. It was a class in yoga and creative writing. It was the last thing I thought he would be doing on a Saturday afternoon, but I've never see Jeff so excited as told about what he wrote. He reminded me that life remains full of learning and adventure even if you just had your 30th high school reunion. He's a really good dentist, too.
In case you haven't heard, there will be an election next week. I used to complain because North Carolina was not a swing state and the candidates ignored us, but I'm getting a little tired of the ads. My nine-year old daughter Madeleine can recite several of them by heart. But please don't let election fatigue keep you from going to the polls. Today several churches downtown are holding a Souls to the Polls rally and taking folks down to the board of elections to vote early. I won't tell you who to vote for, but I will tell you to vote your conscience.
Chapter 26 overview Speaking of political leaders, this week we are continuing our year-long study of the book of I Samuel. Hopefully we'll finish by Advent! Last week we talked about David and Abigail, which was a nice interlude in the story of Saul's war against David. Our lesson last week ended with the statement that Saul gave David's wife Michal to another man. In chapter 26 we return to Saul's pursuit of David. I am not going to read this chapter on the air because it is so similar to chapter 24, which we discussed at length. The similarities include the Ziphites telling Saul where David was hiding, Saul taking 3000 warriors to pursue the rebel, David secretly scoring a coup on Saul, David proving to Saul that he could have killed him but showed mercy instead, David asking Saul what crime he had committed that has made the king hunt him down, and Saul addressing David and acknowledging that David is the better man.
In short, the two stories are so similar that many scholars speculate that they are two different versions of the same event. It seems very unlikely that David would have attempted, much less been successful, in pulling off the same trick twice. There was no reason to prove twice to Saul that he could have killed him. It also seems like a strange coincidence that both events were instigated by the betrayal of the Ziphites and that in both Saul admits he was wrong.
The fact that we do have two different accounts of the same basic story increases our confidence that something like this really happen. The fact that they are so different indicates that they circulated in oral tradition for a long time before being written down. It is reasonable to conclude that somehow or another, David managed to get within striking distance of the king and chose not to kill him.
Multiple Traditions Why did the author of I Samuel include both of these stories in his book? We saw in our study of Genesis that biblical authors were not as worried about redundant stories as modern editors are. I just got one my manuscripts back and the editor cut out a few redundant passages, even though every word I had written was gold. The editor of I Samuel included repetitious passages to emphasize that David showed mercy to Saul.
Another reason for including both stories is that they are different enough to be interesting. In the first story, David sneaks up on Saul while he is relieving himself in a cave. It is a bit too scatological for use in the synagogue or church. Chapter 26 is much more dignified. It is also much more heroic, almost miraculous. Saul and his 3000 soldiers have set up camp on a plain near a mountain, and Saul is sleeping in the middle of the camp. It sounds like the soldiers are arrayed in concentric circles. Saul's personal bodyguard, Abner, is lying next to him. In other words, the king is as well protected as a man could be, but David got close enough to kill him.
The Tale In the story, David looks down from a height and sees that Saul's men are asleep with no one on watch. He decides to try to get into the camp and he asks for a volunteer. One of his cousins, Abishai, is eager to prove his courage, and accompanies David. One problem with this story is that we are not given a clue as to why David wants to do this. In the first story, David's men urged him to take advantage of an unexpected opportunity and end the war. After an internal debate, David changed his mind and showed the king mercy. This story in chapter 26 has none of that debate. We aren't told what David intends to do. It appears to be nothing more than fool hearty act of bravado.
Abishai and David successfully infiltrated the camp and were standing over the slumbering form of Saul when they took time to have a rather long debate. Abishai wants to run Saul through with his own spear, but David refuses. Apparently he never intended to kill the Lord's Anointed, but merely wanted to teach Abishai a lesson about why you shouldn't kill a king. Abishai is nonplussed, to say the least. Here they are surrounded by 3000 enemy troops and David is giving him a lesson about the divine right of kings. The author acknowledges the difficulty of this scenario by telling the reader that the LORD had made all of Saul's men fall into an unnaturally deep sleep. Finally, David decided to take the king's spear and his water jug as tokens of his "victory."
The theft of the spear is significant. Several weeks ago we talked about the fact that Saul is almost always depicted with his spear in hand. It was the symbol of his authority and manhood. Saul probably had a bumper sticker on his chariot that said "the only time they'll take my spear is when they pry it from my cold, dead hands." By taking the spear, David took Saul's manhood and his kingdom. He attacked the symbol of Saul's authority. I honestly don't know why he took the water jug, but I suspect that water jugs were particularly important in a dry land. The water jug was probably a symbol of life.
Unlike the earlier (and probably older) story, David's conversation with Saul is public in ch. 26. First David called out to Abner and shamed him. Abner was the king's top general and personal bodyguard, but David taunted, telling the whole army that he was asleep at his post. Today we would say that David was trash talking his opponent. Then he showed everyone the spear so they would know that Abner almost let the king get killed. Abner did not get a chance to respond David's showboating. Saul called David as his son. David asked the king why he pursuing him and protested his innocence. This is a constant refrain in I Samuel. David was the innocent victim of Saul's paranoid rage. Here Saul acknowledges before his own army that David is righteous and merciful. He even blesses David instead of attacking him.
Chapter 27 We would expect that this second encounter between David and Saul would be the end of the story, but chapter 27 begins with David recognizing that the war with Saul will never end. David decides that he would be safer with the Philistines than in Israel, and so he goes into exile with his two new wives and his men and their families. It was quite a large company that journeyed south to Gath. You may remember that earlier we had a story where David was a refugee in Gath. That was a strange tale that ended with David pretending to be insane so that he could escape from the wrath of King Achish. It is more than a little odd that we now have another story where David escapes from Saul by going to the court of Achish. In the first story, the Philistines hated David so much that he had to go to great lengths to escape, but in this story David's enemies treat with honor.
These are probably radically different accounts of the same historical event. Even 3000 years later, it is shocking to learn that King David served the Philistines, and it is implausible that the author of I Samuel made this up. It would have been tempting to ignore it if he could. This was one of those memories that must have plagued David and his descendents for many years. This was worse than having been AWOL from the National Guard years before becoming President. It was the kind of resume item that always threatened to undermine the legitimacy of David's rule, and it had to be explained away from his apologists.
Mercenary David: So, we have two quite different descriptions of what happened when David fled to the Philistines. In one he is a vulnerable refugee hiding among the Philistines, but in chapter 27, he is depicted as a powerful warlord who offers his services to a rival king. Since he cannot serve King Saul, he will serve King Achish. The Philistine king is so impressed by David that he gives him a city of his own. Historically speaking, this is perfectly plausible.
You may have heard of El Cid, "he who in a happy hour girded on his sword." El Cid is one of the national heroes of Spain. During the Middle Ages, El Cid was a warlord who defeated the Moors and helped expand the Christian kingdom of Aragon. Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren starred in a movie about El Cid that was based on an epic poem extolling El Cid as a crusader and model of chivalry. The portrait of El Cid painted by modern historians is more complicated. Yes, El Cid defeated the Muslims, but he frequently fought for Muslim kings against Christians. He was basically a mercenary who fought for whoever paid him best. In chapter 27 David looks more like the real El Cid than the legendary one.
Read 27:5-end
Liege of Achish The gift of Ziklag meant that David did not have to hide in caves any longer. He had a permanent home and an income base. Even a fool like Nabal would now recognize David as a prince who could reward his followers. But the young warrior does not settle down in the city. Chapter 27 is a grim reminder that David is still a warrior. King Achish did not reward him for his talent on the lyre. He expected David to harass his enemies. David attacked several tribes that lived south of Judah, ravaging the lands almost to the Egyptian border. The tribes listed included some of the traditional enemies of the Israelites, most notably the Amalekites. The major reason I Samuel records David's raids against these tribes was to reassure the audience that David was not a traitor against Israel even though he fought for the Philistines. The people he attacked were enemies of Israel.
When Achish asked David about his expeditions, David lied. There is simply no way to interpret around this fact. David lied to his liege lord when he claimed that he was attacking the Israelites and Judeans in the Negev desert. We can picture the ancient audience nudging one another and smiling at the way David tricked the Philistine king. David was so shrewd that he was able to injure the enemies of Israel right under the nose of the Philistine king!
At the time, this was seen as a good thing, but it raises all kinds of moral problems for Jews and Christians today who read I Samuel as sacred scripture. What are we supposed to do with a story like this? This is one of those stories that ancient theologians said should not be taken literally or used a prescription for faithful living. They argued that this story has to be read allegorically. Today we might say that this story tells us that honesty is not always be the best policy. There may be times when it is wise not to tell the whole truth, but we must be cautious in drawing morals from this tale, especially since the Bible neither blames nor praises David for his deception.
War Crimes There is a a part of this chapter that is more deeply disturbing than David lying. In order to carry out his subterfuge against his liege-lord, David makes sure there are no witnesses to dispute his account. When he raids the camps and villages of Israel's enemies, he orders that every man, woman, and child be killed. We know from history that people commit this kind of atrocity. This is not pleasant conversation for a Sunday morning, but such brutality is woven into the fabric of human history. What is shocking about chapter 27 is that it was the Lord's Anointed did this as a cold-blooded policy. How can we as people of faith make sense of this? I'm not sure we can.
Does it help to realize that the author of this story probably thought he was praising David by telling us this? This was probably part of a pro-David propaganda campaign, a way to warn enemies and reassure friends. Even today, rulers want to convince their enemies that they have the power to destroy them completely. Think back to the rhetoric of the Cold War when mutual assured destruction was our military policy. It is quite likely that King David wanted his enemies to think that he was merciless in battle.
What David did was accepted practice in the ancient world, but is no longer. In part thanks to Christianity, we have established that such things are crimes. We have tribunals in the Hague that convict people of such "war crimes." We must be careful and not use stories like this in I Samuel to justify war crimes and other atrocities in the name of religion. One biblical scholars says that the point of this story is that "we, like David, may also be asked to act boldly in circumstances that do not give us ideal options or absolute moral clarity." We can go too far in that kind of thinking. There is no doubt that genocide and the murder of children is immoral. We must avoid the temptation to use the story of David to justify moral relativism and opportunism.
Another thing that is shocking about this story is that it comes after three stories that expatiate on David's mercy toward Saul and Nabal. In those stories, David demonstrated great self-control and did not use violence when it was expected, but here we see him exterminating families who have done him no harm. All of the speeches about sparing the Lord's Anointed pale in comparison.
We are approaching the season of Advent and will be singing hymns about Jesus as the son of David and the Lord's Messiah. Keep in mind that the New Testament does not claim that Jesus imitated David, only that he was the descendent of David. Jesus was the true Messiah and true king of God's people in part because he was not like David. Rather than establish his throne through conquest, he offered himself in sacrifice. Rather than shedding the blood of the innocent in order to intimidate his foes, his innocent blood was shed. This is why Pilate could not believe that Jesus was a king. What king goes to the cross to free his people? What king speaks truth when lies are more expedient?
Conclusion I will confess that this was not the easiest passage of Scripture to discuss or to write, but it is important that we look at the whole story of David instead of just the pleasant parts. We are living in perilous times, but that does not mean that we have to give up our deepest convictions and abandon our morals. Though there is much to admire about King David, we beware of using his example to justify our lies, crimes and atrocities. Though we have found much benefit in studying the kings of ancient Israel, we who bear the name of Christ are called to follow Jesus' law and example. May the prince of peace rule in your hearts and minds.

Elder Patriot – Moments ago ESPN reported that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reaffirmed a policy that had been written into the players' handbook but was abandoned after the election of Donald Trump.
Players will once again be expected to stand for the National Anthem if they're on the field for its playing or offending teams will be subject to fines iF they do not comply.
"In make the announcement Goodell said, "We want people to be respectful of the national anthem. We want people to stand — that's all personnel — and make sure they treat this moment in a respectful fashion. That's something we think we owe. [But] we were also very sensitive to give players choices."
When the controversy fist flared up following President Trump's harsh criticism of the disrespect being shown by kneeling players while our National Anthem was being played we cited a Washington Post article that identified the specific rule pertaining to player behavior found on pages A62-63 of the league's game operations manual:
"The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
"During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses."
Trump has been determined from Day 1 to restoring the pride and dignity of our demoralized national psyche.
May God Bless his efforts.

Hi RMcG
"I see the Daily Telegraph have excelled themselves again. This interactive guide to council spending is interesting.."
It is interesting - particularly the relocation of Renfrewshire.
[Click any council on the map; then top right select the drop-down list by that council's name & scroll down to Renfrewshire to discover it's now part of Lancashire!]

"A far more interesting subject is books. Books have always held a fascination for me from the pre-school days..."
Oh, me too! The idea that I wouldn't be able to read BEFORE I went to school was anathema in my family. Consequently, I found myself ahead of everyone else in my class, and so was given the run of the school library while the others were learning to read.
And oh, the wonderful day when I got my adult library card, a full five years before everyone else (your parents had to sign for you).
In fact, I just bought three Jim Corbett books on eBay just because they were the editions (with the covers and internal illustrations by the wonderful Raymond Sheppard) that I fondly remember checking out of the adult library and staying up long past bedtime reading... :)

It could well be RM but I'd plumb for the pleasant neighbour. Who took the photo I ask myself. ;)

Ah Julia, happy days right enough and to get your own card when still a 'junior' (when parents had to sign books out for you) was indeed a great privilege. Good for you.
I loved my local library. In fact I passed it the other day and the building is still superb although I believe the inside hasn't been well kept. Unfortunately I can't find a photo of it but I'll take my camera next time I visit Dundee.
It's a small but most elegant building.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) — A new report has cut the Bay Area's economic benefits from the America's Cup Race this summer in San Francisco from $1.4 billion down to $780 million. The yet-to-be published report with the new estimates comes out this week and has at least one of the San Francisco Supervisors apprehensive about the whole event.
Beacon Economics did the study in 2010, which partially influenced city leaders' decision to embrace the race, but now with their original figure has been cut nearly in half. The new study estimates 5,500 jobs will be generated and the City of San Francisco is looking to reap $14 million in revenue.
Jane Sullivan, communications director with the America's Cup, said the figures from the new report are nothing to complain about.

25/12/2016 - The dream vacation!
I spent the most wonderful stay on the hills above Florence over Christmas in the beautiful Mangione degli Alighieri. You know that feeling you can have of "being home" even if you are abroad? Well, this is exactly how we felt here. Well welcomed upon arrival, cozy rooms, a living room with authentic paintings on the walls, a marvellous park all around the Villa where you enjoy nice walks and stunning views of the Tuscan hills around Florence... There is even a hot tub in the garden! And I was told they are currently building a brand new pool which will be ready by spring! Each room has independent heating system, which must be very practical also in summer. And cherry on the cake: we were spoiled every day by Peiris who prepares the perfect breakfast and is always there if you have any needs. I will definitely be back and would recommend, if you plan to stay in Florence with friends and/or family, to make sure you don't miss staying in this "little" gem.

Individual - Significant developmentsLast reviewed - 27 January 2020
On 1 January 2015, the progressive income tax rates for individuals were modified. Additionally, as of 11 January 2016, the dividend withholding tax (WHT) was reduced to 5%.
Peru's Income Tax Law now considers as a dividend any credit granted to shareholders, up to the limit of the profits and unrestricted reserves of the company.
As of 1 January 2017, individuals who receive either fifth category income (dependent services) or fourth category income (independent services) will be allowed to deduct three additional tax units for expenses such as mortgage interest, rent paid to a landlord, social security paid for housekeepers, and some independent professional services, provided that certain requirements are met.
Capital gains derived from the sale of property by non-domiciled individuals are subject to an effective 5% income tax rate. The same tax rate is applicable to domiciled individuals.
On the other hand, Law No. 30341 and Supreme Decree No. 382-2015-EF exempt from income tax from 2016 to 2018 the capital gain obtained from the sale of shares, provided that: (i) not over 10% of a company ownership is transferred and (ii) the shares have to be registered in the Lima stock exchange at least one year.
Finally, Legislative Decrees 1264 and 1313 have established an extraordinary income tax filing procedure that allows domiciled individuals to recognise undeclared Peru and foreign-source income until 31 December 2015. Such regime allows one to reconcile non-declared income in cash, goods, rights, or income transferred to a trust through a unique payment of a substitute income tax.

A Collaborative Responsibility
Our fresh food systems are complex and adaptive. They consist of many independent factors whose interactions create the processes necessary to deliver food from our farms to our plate. A collaborative approach by all stakeholders across the entire system is needed to ensure its sustainability.
'No single stakeholder in this system has control over the system, and there is no single solution to make the system more resilient or sustainable.'

Jamaipanese.com is starting to feel like a child of mine, a child that was brought into the world 4 short years ago but has grown so fast you can't believe. It is by no means the biggest and best out there but I am quite proud of it and has put a lot of work into it over the years. I decided to get me a pack of business cards to help promote my blog and I thought I'd share a couple pictures of them with you.
I decided to get business cards done because it was becoming increasingly difficult to tell persons I know or met at events like the Japanese Calendar Exhibition, Jamaica Pegasus Tweetup and Anime Nation Costume Rave about my blog and what it is about. With the cards now though it is so much easier share my site with new people especially when I don't know them ^_^. The cards where designed and ordered through Moo.com using images that I had taken for my blog posts about my anime figure collection (mostly Gundams). I also mixed in some favourite scenic shots of Jamaica I took like that awesome waterfall in Portland and a view of the pier and Kingston Harbour in Port Royal.
Even some of my gunpla that I am not too fond of like GN Archer and Cherudim came out well on the cards but the real stars (and my favourites) were of my Chibi Astray Goldframe, my girlfriend's Nagi Nendoroid and my Yoko Littner who were all "professionally" photographed in my lighting studio. One side of the cards has an image while the other has my blog and contact information. Pokens were supposed to revolutionize how we share social information and make business cards obsolete and I still have the one I won about a year ago, but being the only poken owner on the island doesn't give me many chances to use it ^_^.
Want a discount Coupon?
I have 2 discount coupons, I got when I ordered a sample of the business cards and another from when I ordered a pack of 50 business cards I have photographed above.
- Get 15% off your first pack of 50 business cards.
- Get 10% off your next entire order of postcards.
Check out the Moo.com website for more information about the business cards and the postcards then leave an "interesting" comment telling me why you should receive the coupon for either of them. They ship worldwide and are very reliable. The 2 most interesting comments will win.

Spotlight Camp 2011Read Now
Week one. COMPLETE!
Or should I say, " Shiver me timbers! Avast- week one is done!" (That's the pirate translation!"
Our TREASURE HUNT camp is going amazingly. Dare I say, it's my favorite camp, ever. We have the best group of pirates a captain could ask for. They are eager, passionate, and put their ALL into every activity we do.
Let me tell you a bit more about what we pirates do, you land-lubbers. After we play a good-morning warm-up, campers learn a pirate word o' the day. (Land-lubber: A non sailor.) We then discover that our home-made treasure boxes are missing and we go on an epic treasure hunt to find candy and puzzle pieces that tell us the theme of the day. Every day we are searching for the ultimate treasure that makes our final show phenomenal. We play a few games and discuss the treasure of the day. (Friday's was dance.) After snack we rehearse for the premire of TrueNorth's "The Treasure Hunt" on Friday July 1st at 11:15. Come check out the two pirate crews battle it out!
By the way... our pirate crews are The Jolly Rodgers and The Flaming Lava Swords.
Overture Camp!Read Now
Camp started on Monday! (Insert boisterous cheer.)
We are having such a blast with this one-week camp. I am surprised daily by these 3-5 year olds. These campers (better than most of the staff) remember everything we rehearsed the day before, they have great audience behavior, and are really getting into every activity we do. Too bad this camp is only a week. These kids are stars!
I have to confess: I am all about themes. Teddy Bear Picnic certainly doesn't disappoint. Every camper has a Teddy for the week that they've named. My Teddy's name is "Boo Boo Bear" because he's the only bear with a few rips and tears. In the mornings we rehearse speaking in front of the group announcing our bear names, we help paint the set, we practice a few songs while playing with drums, running around and making our bears dance, and we get to know each other. After snack the campers go on a BEAR SEARCH on the trails here. Somewhere hidden in the trees the campers will find the bear of the day (today's bear was a Polar Bear) and they'll learn a few facts about that bear. We then find out who wants to perform solos and duets. (You should hear these kids get up and sing "Twinkle Twinkle" or "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"!) Camp ends with a few rehearsals of our show-- Teddy Bear Picnic. Today the campers were surprised with Teddy Bear Gram Crackers! MMMM!
I think the parents, family, and friends will love the show and be extremely proud of their campers on Friday at 11:15! After the show we have our free & monthly Noon Time Concert that will be perfect for the family.
Til next time, here's a preview of next weeks camp...!

American Eugenics: Race, Queer Anatomy, and the Science of Nationalism
American Eugenics: Race, Queer Anatomy, and the Science of Nationalism
You talk of your breed of cattle
And plan for a higher strain
You double the food of the pasture,
You heap up the measure of grain;
You draw on the wits of the nation
To better the barn and the pen,
But what are you doing, my brother,
To better the breed of men?
—Rose Trumball, "To the Men of America"
On October 16, 1994, the cover of the New York Times Book Review sported a full-page color graphic of a DNA double helix alongside the headline, "How Much of Us Is in the Genes?" No less than five books on the subject were covered that Sunday, the most prominent being The Bell Curve by Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein: "The articulation of issues touching on group intelligence and ethnicity has been neither fashionable nor safe for the last three decades, but these scholars argue that the time has come to grasp the nettle of political heresy, to discard social myths and come to grips with statistical evidence." With this plaudit, the Times reviewer valorized a recent incarnation of a less than novel ideology: scientific racism. The Bell Curve merely restated old claims, chief among them being that intelligence can be quantified (by IQ tests), that African-Americans score an average of fifteen points lower than white Americans on these tests, and that genes are accountable for this rift.
A few pages later was a review of Dean Hamer and Peter Copeland's The Science of Desire, which also dealt with heredity, honing in on Hamer's . . .

With gas production from the giant onshore Groningen field set to fall to less than 4 Bcm/year in the early 2020s and to be shut in permanently by 2030 – or even earlier – the Netherlands will become increasingly dependent on imports.
For a country used to being a net exporter of gas, the shift will be seismic.
And while the country has enough infrastructure to import gas to meet its future demand, that is not enough to secure gas supplies in the future, Annie Krist, CEO of Dutch gas trader GasTerra, said in an interview late last year.
Instead, stakeholders should think "seriously" about locking in future gas imports, Krist said.
"You need more than pipelines and other facilities to secure supplies. After all, the gas has to be bought and sold as well," she said.
"Until now, being a net exporter of gas, the country didn't have to worry about that. Now policy makers and other stakeholders should start thinking how to tackle this issue."
Supply security
Earlier this year, GasTerra commissioned consultancy IHS Markit to research what policies the Netherlands should follow to ensure gas supply security post-Groningen.
IHS concluded that relying fully on spot gas and LNG purchases to ensure supply security was not advisable.
This, it said, is because it would require full confidence in the reliability and liquidity of the TTF hub and also because Russia's Gazprom is likely to shift its commercial strategy away from long-term contracts to more spot sales in the Netherlands.
"It would make sense for long-term contracts to maintain some role in Dutch gas supply for the foreseeable future," IHS said, also pointing to the fact that Europe is in competition over LNG supplies with buyers from all over the world, particularly Asia.
Krist said the advice from IHS should be "taken seriously."
"According to the report, if nothing changes the Netherlands will cover less than 1% of imports with bilateral long-term import contracts by the mid-2020s," she said.
"In contrast, it is expected that other countries then will still be relying on a mix of hub trading and long-term import contracts. It seems sensible to us that we find out why."
At present, however, GasTerra has no "concrete plans" to enter into additional import contracts, Krist said, adding that there is enough time for the Netherlands to adjust to its new reality.
"At the moment we still produce enough gas to meet demand. Our point is that the situation will change in the future. The Netherlands will become a 'normal' gas consuming country, just like our neighbors," she said.
"These countries are used to importing almost all the gas they need. So we thought it made sense to inquire how and where these countries buy their gas. Preferably on the hub or primarily by means of long-term bilateral import contracts?"
Krist said that long-term contracts could be of any length, though she dismissed the likelihood of any very long-term contracts.
"Such decisions always depend on market realities. We don't expect that the market will return to the kind of (very) long term contracts that existed before gas trade was liberalized. Today, pricing is linked to hub prices, also in bilateral contracts," she said.
"Green" gas
Krist also said that while there are other measures the Netherlands could take — such as cutting gas demand – the country will remain gas dependent.
"The government has already announced that it wants to lower gas demand by replacing gas with alternative sustainable energy carriers — mainly green electricity, hydrogen, biogas, etc – where that is feasible," Krist said.
"But we should be realistic. The country still is very dependent on natural gas. No less than 40%. That means that it will probably take decades to phase out gas entirely."
Go deeper: Dutch offshore wind plans to offset Groningen gas cuts, coal exit by 2030
Krist said green gases also had an ever more important role to play in the future.
"Presently, our country produces approximately 300 million cu m of biogas annually. That is in energy terms roughly the same amount as what all solar panels in the country deliver," she said.
"We think that potentially 3 Bcm of biogas could be produced in 2030. Also the prospects of hydrogen as fuel and as an alternative power storage solution look pretty good."

Scientific Breakthroughs Hold Promise, Will Bring High Costs
January 29, 2019
Peanut allergy is the most common of childhood food allergies — and getting more common. Research presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) in 2017 found that the rate of peanut allergy in children had increased by more than 21 percent since 2010.
Nearly 2.5 percent of U.S. children are allergic to peanuts.
In those with the most severe allergy, even tiny amounts of peanut can bring on an allergic reaction, which can range from sniffles and hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis, or swelling of the airway with respiratory compromise.
Given the prevalence, and the risks, it is no surprise that in the last decade clinical research scientists have been attempting to find a treatment for peanut allergies. This involved "desensitizing" patients with microscopic doses of peanut, gradually extending how much the body can tolerate. The most notable was one conducted in Cambridge, United Kingdom, that found that 12 percent defatted peanut flour could induce desensitization in children.
Treating Peanut Allergy
Until recently it appeared that the first drug to market would be Viaskin Peanut, by DBV Technologies, the first of a proposed class of drugs that treat peanut allergy by delivering small quantities of allergen via a skin or dermal patch. According to the manufacturer, the treatment avoids the risk of exposure via the bloodstream and therefore much of the potential for adverse side effects.
Insights offers context and perspective about key pharmacy and health care topics.Subscribe
Viaskin was being considered by the FDA as a treatment for children aged 4 to 11 years, with a decision expected by August. However, in December the manufacturer withdrew the drug's biologics license application (BLA) after consultation with the FDA, based on questions raised by the agency and the need for additional data on manufacturing.
Whether Viaskin is the first peanut allergy treatment to market or not, it is definitely not the only one in development. In fact, analysts expect that the emerging $4.5 billion global market in peanut allergy treatments will be dominated by the other drug expected to be approved this summer for patients aged 4 to 17 years, Aimmune's yet-to-be-named AR101 which, like Viaskin, also received a Breakthrough Therapy designation.
Questions for the Long Term
These new therapies may offer substantial benefits to patients, but they pose challenges for payors. Though prices have not yet been set, they are likely to be expensive. Last January, Aimmune's then chief operating officer was quoted predicting that AR101 would cost $6,000-$8,000 for the six-month dosing-up phase and $4,000-$5,000 for a year of maintenance.
AR101 Could Cost:
for six-month dosing-up phase
for a year of maintenance
AR101 Could Cost:
$6K-$8K for six-month dosing-up phase
$4K-$5K for a year of maintenance
As an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) pointed out, two-thirds of those treated with AR101 were able to tolerate a cumulative dose of just four peanuts.
The landscape of peanut allergy is shifting rapidly. At least two other oral drugs are in development. Meanwhile, the pediatric professional guidelines for introducing peanuts into the diets of young children have been rewritten, with a goal of preventing allergy from occurring in the first place.
Understanding, Managing Appropriate Use
As mentioned in the NEJM editorial, the development of these new, expensive drugs began with "a bag of peanut flour costing peanuts." And yet, given the drugs' price tags, the potential for off-label use in populations with less severe or less definitively diagnosed allergy, as well as the likelihood of the need for lifelong treatment, means it is imperative payors plan responsible programs to ensure that these breakthrough drugs are used in the population where clinical benefit and safety have been demonstrated.
Developing and implementing utilization management (UM) criteria for such new therapies is a complex process that involves careful consideration of many factors. Even now, before the FDA has ruled on either drug, CVS Health experts have begun analyzing the clinical trial reports and consulting with respected clinicians to better understand how the drugs are likely to be used. Our goal is to develop a responsible approach, including the development of UM criteria that reflect the indications where safety and effectiveness have been demonstrated, and which meets payors' needs to balance access with impact on plan spend and trend.

Some Tips for Buyers When Looking for Houses for Sale
When you are in search for keller homes for sale, then you should be aware that there are different factors that you must take into consideration. These are the tips when you would purchase property. There are many open suburbs in Dallas with a lot of space and also diversity that would meet the requirements of various purchasers. You may choose from various ranges of property. Well, you must keep in mind that every suburb comes with a different feel and it is quite important that you look for a part of it which fits your personality and your housing requirements as well.
You also have to consider the garden requirements that you have. One thing that residents would love is their gardens. Some of the newer areas have covenants so that gardens are really kept to a certain standard. It is very important that you would search for a place which would match the exterior maintenance of your lifestyle. Those cottage gardens may look beautiful but they may require some dedication but those native grasses and also the shrubs may look clean and clear and can be of low maintenance. This will have to depend on the lifestyle that you have.
Another important factor that you must take into consideration would be the schooling requirements. Many of such popular schools have those zoning requirements and also moving into a certain area may ensure that your child or your children have better change of access to such school but this would often mean that you pay much more premium. For the parents of children who are going to attend that private school, this may not be quite an issue. You must know that the school culture is actually considered an important part of the family life. Choosing a school in the outer suburbs would mean that your child may go to a smaller school with such great family atmosphere.
Know that sporting as well as the outdoor pursuits are also another factor. Many sports are within a short distance but being located near the golf course, the biking tracks or the surf beach can be an advantage for those who love sports. To understand more about real estate, visit http://www.britannica.com/topic/real-estate-agent.
When you like a home which has all the benefits of city living, with outdoor lifestyle at the door, then purchasing a home in areas offering such can be a great option to go for. Properties in such places would provide an easy commute when needed or you may choose to work closer to home. Know about north richland hills realtor here!

Hello, readers.
Today I bought a writing desk and a cooking desk. The writing desk is a 100 cm bit of cedar. The cooking desk is a 80 cm bit of cedar on top of a 70 cm bit of less than cedar in which there are doors and one shelf. The writing desk will be for writing. The cooking desk will, actually, not really be for cooking so much as chopping things, storing things, and taking up space in a hopefully pleasant way.
I paid 200,000 won for the pair, which equates to somewhere around $180 ish dollars. They gave me a deal because I live down the street.
It happens that in my neighborhood of Seoul there is a Furniture Arcade. Quite convenient, really.
The shop I visited was mid-way up a hill, and more or less the size of a small walk-in closet. It was run by a man and woman who were married.
The woman spoke very good English. The husband drew very good sketches of what my furniture would look like as per my desires as translated by his wife.
When the wife asked if I'd like a sheet of glass on top of my writing desk, I said no, I like the feel of the wood.
To which the wife said, we are the same.
When I asked her how she knew English so well, she said she had a passion for English. She did her thesis in college on The Great Gatsby. She's a fan of Dickens, even though his stories are not happy. "Most of my favorite stories aren't happy," she said. She is reading, right now, though, a book called The Little White Horse which is a children's book recommended by J.K. Rowling.
After the purchasing was done, the husband played for me "Amazing Grace" on his violin and also something Korean on his traditional Korean instrument that looked kind of like a flute, or a clarinet, in that it was long and had holes in it, but really it resembled nothing so much as a piece of bamboo in which someone had cut holes. Maybe this is what it was.
"The sound isn't good," the wife said. I think she was right. But it was still nice.
We also drank some Makgeolli together, which is a traditional rice wine.
"We don't do this normally," the wife said. "It's just that feeling that you've known someone for a long time even though you only just met."
We had our drinks and music in the furniture store, surrounded by desks on which were piled bookshelves, on which were piled smaller bookshelves. On some of the shelves were English books such as The Grapes of Wrath which the woman said she had read ten times. For comparison sakes, she has read Pride and Prejudice only three times.
I asked her if she had always lived in Seoul, and she said yes, that in fact she had always lived in this area. She said she was too timid to leave. That books were how she escaped.
She only just came to work with her husband two months ago to help pay for her son's tuition. He's studying to be a musical actor. Their daughter may end up doing something similar. She practices singing all day, the husband said. English songs. All day.
Earlier, when I had asked the woman why she loved English so much, she told me it was because of The Sound of Music. She saw it when she was seven.
I think, probably, I will buy more things from them. Maybe some bookshelves. It seems appropriate and also necessary, as, at the moment, my books are arranged into two main groups: one group being stacked neatly along the floor of one room, and the other group being stacked oddly inside a kitchen cupboard.
We do what we must, readers.
p.s. May the fourth be with you.
p.p.s. Could someone get this walking carpet out of my way?

Do you sit down and look at your company's Facebook page everyday thinking, what can I do differently? Do you find that you are posting the same kind of material daily or that when you try to engage your audience with a thought-provoking question, there's no response? It's time to step your social media game up. Let's see how we create a buzz around your Facebook, Twitter and blog sites…
Content is king when it comes to consumer engagement and the number of return visitors that you will get to your social sites. So your questions aren't getting the attention you want? Try posting videos or content that users have created. Design contests that will get your consumers involved, such as having them create a video or send in their pictures. The more of a reward they will receive from participating, such as being acknowledged or winning a prize, the more interaction you will see from them. For more information about your content strategy, check out last week's blog.
If you log on to any big brand's Facebook page, you will notice that they receive dozens of Likes and comments on almost every post they put up. On Twitter, they can create a tweet that will get hundreds of retweets, creating a buzz around their brand. This is difficult to achieve for smaller businesses though, as the number of fans they have may not be as massive. In order to create this sort of involvement, you must make sure you increase your fanbase, but in a targeted manner. Find and promote to people who are actually interested in the product or service that your business is selling. These are the fans that will add great value to all of your social media marketing initiatives.
How do you find these fans? First, look into your target market, and see where they are spending time on the web. Maybe you need to create a company page on a review site, like Yelp, or you might need to create a blog that your consumers can get involved with. There are so many platforms that can be used to reach your target consumer besides the typical Facebook page. Additionally, Twitter has a real time search function that allows you to find users who are tweeting about your industry, product or service right at that moment. Do not be scared to use it and start following people. The number of a company's fans is usually a reflection of how well known they are, so try to grab more fans than your competitors!
The design and layout of your social media sites also plays an important role when standing out from competition. Try to make your blog, Facebook, and Twitter pages stand out. You can create a landing page on Facebook that will entice your consumers into learning more. You can custom create a background for your Twitter page to make it visually appealing for your followers. Your blog can be loaded with videos and images that keep bringing readers back. Whatever you do, just keep your pages simple, clean, and full of engaging content.
If you have your own competitive social media strategies, feel free to post them below!

Oma's Garden has a rainbow of colors now!
Oma's Garden has a rainbow of colors now!
The rain stopped! It was so wonderful to get out of the house and feel the sunshine yesterday. I took myself off to see what was happening at Banfill Locke. There were a few flowers popping up, and plenty of people were out fishing and walking…and avoiding the river, which is still covering the path in one area!
Since I had my camera out, I played around with the camera settings and shot mom's tree. 🙂
I will must likely have many, many posts with this title. I visit The Garden often! I've been waiting for a few days now to get pictures of Oma's tulips which all decided to bloom in the rain…thankfully I was able to get over there before they all cut cut off and put inside. 😉
…well, at least the trees and plants are. I saw a turtle, ducklings and a wolf! Oh! It would have been so amazing to have a picture of him!
Oma's garden is always a place of fascination for me, with all the wonderful flowers to photograph!

Author and playwright Dorothy Bryant dies at age 87
Dorothy Bryant, a teacher, playwright and prolific novelist who was on the vanguard of self-publishing, has died. She was 87.
Bryant died Dec. 21, a week after a diagnosis of stomach cancer. She was a founding member of the Aurora Theatre Company in Berkeley, and published a dozen books between the 1972 and 2007 that were mostly well-researched fiction novels filled with subject matter that was before its time.
But the Mission District-born San Francisco native was always on the forefront of something, even before she started writing professionally.
Daughter Lorri Ungaretti said that as a professor at Contra Costa College in the 1960s, Bryant started the school's first black studies class — and had another pioneering moment.
"She was the first woman to wear pants when she was teaching at Contra Costa College," Ungaretti noted. "Her boss said, 'What are you wearing?' and was very upset she was not wearing a dress."
Bryant's successful first book, "Ella Price's Journal," was published by Lippincott in 1972. The novel, written in journal form, was about a 35-year-old housewife who leaves her husband and returns to school, which was a radical notion at the time.
When Bryant turned in her follow-up, "The Comforter," a fantasy with strong Jungian themes, the writer told The Chronicle that her New York literary agent called it "a very bad book," and refused to publish it to protect his own reputation.
"I was so angry that I said to my husband, 'Look at all the people who've published themselves,'" Bryant told The Chronicle in 1978. "He said, 'Why not?' It's the sort of thing you would never do if you knew what you were getting into."
Bryant printed 3,000 copies for $1,800, and within five years was able to sell every copy of the book — which became popular among followers of analytical psychologist Carl Jung — mostly by word of mouth.
As she started to consider a second printing, Random House bought the novel and sold tens of thousands of copies under the name "The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You." More than 40 years later, the book is still in print.
Bryant established the private publishing business Ata Press, and published most of her subsequent books herself. Each one seemed to have complicated themes on a different topic, often with historical aspects.
"It has often been said admiringly of Bryant that she never writes the same book twice," literary critic Patricia Holt wrote in a Chronicle review of Bryant's 1991 book, "The Test," about a woman whose elderly father is fighting to keep his driver's license.
She also wrote seven plays; the Aurora Theatre Company's first play, Bryant's "Dear Master" from 1991, was revived by the company in 2016.
Born to Italian immigrants Giuditta and Giuseppe Calvetti, Bryant attended Mission High School and San Francisco State University, and taught English and music at Lick-Wilmerding High School in the 1950s. She was married twice; she remained married to her second husband, Bob Bryant, for 49 years until her death.
Ungaretti said she still hears from people who say Bryant's books, some published more than four decades years ago, changed their lives.
"She's just a remarkable person and she insisted that we look at things more broadly than we would otherwise," Ungaretti said. "She was just open to new ideas and open to new people, and I think the best that is a part of me came from her."
Bryant is survived by husband Bob, daughter Lorri Ungaretti and stepdaughter Victoria Bryant. Her son John Ungaretti died in 1994.
A celebration of Bryant's life is scheduled for March 4, for friends and family. In her memory, family have asked that people "go into a bookstore and buy a book, or donate to the local library."
