text: The agreement follows a visit to North Korea by the boss of South Korea's Hyundai group [AFP] 'Energise trade' According to Monday's KCNA report, North Korea agreed to restart tours for South Korean visitors to the scenic Diamond Mountain resort and ancient sights near the city of Kaesong, just across the heavily-fortified border. The tours had been suspended following South Korea's tougher stance on the North's nuclear disarmament efforts after Lee Myung-bak took office as president early last year. South Korea's Hyundai has made huge investments in North Korea [AFP] North Korea also said it agreed to ease restriction on border traffic and "energise" the operation of a joint factory park in Kaesong, the last remaining joint project between the Koreas. The future of the industrial complex was thrown into doubt after the North significantly restricted border crossings and demanded a massive increase in rent and salaries for North Korean workers at the complex. North Korea said the agreement was reached after a meeting on Sunday between Hyun Jung-eun, the chairwoman of Hyundai Group, and Kim Jong-il, the North's reclusive leader. Hyun travelled to Pyongyang early last week to seek the release of a detained Hyundai employee before extending her stay in an apparent attempt to meet Kim, an official and her company said. The KCNA said Hyun presented an unidentified gift to Kim at the meeting ahead of a luncheon Kim hosted for the industrialist and her delegation at the weekend. Kim had "a cordial talk with Hyun in an atmosphere of compatriotic feelings" and "complied with all her requests", the news agency said. Both tours to Diamond Mountain and Kaesong had been run by Hyundai Asan, a subsidiary of the Hyundai group, the biggest South Korean investor in the North. Reunions The KCNA news agency said the North also agreed to resume reunions of families separated since the end of the Korean War. It said the first reunion could take place at the Diamond Mountain resort during the Chuseok" autumn harvest holiday on October 3. Families were separated after the end of the 1950-1953 Korea War [GALLO/GETTY] The issue of divided families is one of the bitterest and most emotionally-charged legacies of the Korean War, with thousands of families having had little or no contact over the past five decades. Responding to the North Korean announcement a South Korean unification ministry official said the government would decide on whether to accept the North's proposals after getting the details of the agreement from the Hyundai chairwoman when she returns. North Korea meanwhile in a separate statement on Monday said its military would be placed on high alter over the start of South Korea-US annual computer-simulated war games. The Supreme Command of the [North] Korean People's Army said the drills were "a blatant challenge and grave threat" to peace on the Korean peninsula. In the statement the North warned of a "merciless and prompt annihilating strike", including nuclear weapons, which it said would follow the "slightest military provocation" against its sovereignty. North Korea sees the joint exercises as preparation for an invasion, but the US and South Korea say the manoeuvres are purely defensive. North and South Korea remain officially at war, having never signed a formal peace treaty cementing the truce that brought a halt to the 1950-53 Korean War. SOURCE: Agencies

Leon Meya told his career officer, he was going to be in a band and he was going to be on Top Of The Pops. One year later and at the tender age of 16, he had done it.
As the British music scene gained full momentum in the mid 90's, Northern Uproar were catapulted from school hall to festival status in the blink of an eye. Chris Gorman is now a full time member of the current Northern Uproar line up, but he was only 'as and when' back then. A jovial presence, open and honest, he admits that his participation back then was only the tip of the iceberg, he recalls "Most of the bands around at the time were professional muso's, they'd had a few years experience under their belt. These guys were just 16, Leon was 16 when they signed their first record deal. They'd been doing it since they were 13 but it all happened very, very young. I was 15 when I played my first gig, in front of 10,000 people at T In The Park. I was absolutely bricking it, hearing the roar and seeing all those people was amazing and the upside is, I've never been nervous since. But then I went home, as did the other lads. We were picked up, did a gig and dropped off home afterwards to carry on as normal, it was Leon that was left to contend with the spotlight and be the front man, do the interviews and write the songs". Leon, clearly reflective interjects "It was a lot to take in, looking back it was probably too much, too much information. The effects of being in a band it's like mental torture, it's only now you realise when you look back. It's like people who don't make it in football and then it gets taken away, it's a funny game to be in, very detrimental to the mind. But I love music, I always have and I've never stopped. We've got fond memories but you have to look forward and just do what you've got to do, make that your business and not get bogged down with what you've done".
Leon's attitude is admirable, in a fickle business such as the music industry where fame and longevity are in short supply for most artists, it's all too common to see artists come and go in the blink of an eye, but to keep on keeping on takes resolve, and you cant blame most bands from the era for throwing in the towel. This was never an option for Leon, as band members came and went, 2 years was the longest the band was ever actually apart.
The new album 'All That Was Has Gone' was released in June via pledge music, an increasingly common platform for new music, but a medium that is tinged with frustration for Leon "It's good that we've been able to do it and get the album out, but it is a bit annoying that it has come to the point where this is how we have to do it. But y'know, we've done it and we're happy with it, there's a lot of love gone into this album". Leon, also a Latin guitarist, has drawn on those influences for this album, and it shows, as Chris explains "We play in a Latin band also, I don't want to go too much into that but that's Leon's thing. Leon's got albums worth of Latin songs, and we've spent ages trying to work out how we can combine the two and this has worked. We've touched on different things in previous albums but this one does have a heavy Latin vibe to it. We just did it how we wanted it to be done. We didn't have a huge budget obviously, it was recorded on tape and there just wasn't the funding to do everything perfectly, but we're really pleased with how it's turned out, we've got genuine affection for it and the feedback has been really positive too. It was a real experience trying to get it all together, and we did it…just".
As the band prepare to start gigging again, it's clear that time has mellowed the lads and their attitude to touring, as Chris explains "We're past that stage where we have management that give us a list of 60 dates and tell us where we play, I mean, these places just roll into one after a while, now we play where people want us to play, there's about 10 dates in the pipeline and 5 of them are in Italy back to back. The whole Britpop thing in Italy was huge, obviously they embraced the mod scene so they really picked up on Britpop. But surprisingly we never played there back then. A lot of bands have management organisations that have kept the fires burning for them one way or another with regards to touring, we never had that as ours just went to shit so we just picked the pieces up bit by bit. But ours is like little pockets of fans here and there, add them all up and there are loads of them. With regards to a set, the tour is going to be whatever we want to do at the time, Jeff can't do this next slot of live band gigs so they will be done as a 3 piece. Ideally we'd have done about 50 dates before the next album but we just don't have the man hours. Personally we'd rather do it acoustic or semi acoustic. It seems much more natural, we take a very laid back approach to touring now too, if it's just the two of us we probably skip the sound check altogether, we've be known to just let venues know we're coming and to have two guitars ready".
Chris and Leon look back on the 90's as only a very small chapter in the bands history, so much has happened in between that has not been released to the press and time has matured their outlook, as a result they are upbeat and positive about the future. As much as their hearts are in the band, time has taught them the importance of keeping a level head and a varied lifestyle. Chris is a tai chi instructor as well as guitar tutor, Leon is embracing his hobby – motorbikes, along with teaching guitar. Chris explains "You have to do things other than music or you become a really boring person, it wears you out. We know musicians who talk only about the music business and it gets tedious".
They have taken the pressure off themselves and made the whole process about doing things right for them, what feels natural for the band and things are beginning to gain momentum "As of this week we are re-releasing the 3rd album and the live acoustic album, they'll be available to download. Also work will start next year on the next album and that really is going to be different".
As time ticks on and we head back on the 142 into the City, I'm contemplative about the band. Thrown in at the deep end at such a tender age is something very few non-manufactured bands have to deal with. But dealt with it they have. Listening to the new album, you can still tell Leon's voice from a mile away, and every now and then you hear a flicker of how they began, but they have grown and gone forward to produce a record that not only encompasses everything that was great about the 90's, but they've done it whilst staying true to themselves.

The inspiration for this salad was, if you can believe it, cafeteria food.
Remember that trip to Zurich? At Tim's office, I had a tiny layered salad similar to this, served in a shot glass. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to reproduce it on a larger scale back home.
The thing about this salad is, it's like a full meal: you get the meaty component, the green component, and at the end, the sweet component. The layers only mix with each other selectively, so each bite is unique.

The weekend left me with a full belly, a sore throat, a bike seat-bruised behind. Clearly, this is the correct state in which to leave Amsterdam.
There is something about me that you might not know, and it is this: I never learned to ride a bike. When other children were running around the neighborhood playing tag and learning how to pedal their tiny two-wheeled conveyances, scraping knees in the process, I was spending afternoons at the dance studio or with a tutor. Growing up, I had never found it necessary to ride, living in LA where the automobile is king, so I didn't. But in Amsterdam, bicycles are the best and most-used mode of transportation — upon stepping out of the central train station, you are greeted with a multi-level bicycle parking structure and people also use biking as a sports, and many men take this sport seriously by even taking supplements or improving their testosterone levels with help of information from this website. And if I wanted to see the best the city had to offer, I would need to ride. We rented a tandem so that I needn't learn to balance and navigate and pedal all at once, and went for a long, idyllic ride down the Amstel River.

#95. The Last Supper (Luke 22:7-20)by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson
Other online lessons from Luke | Lessons in book format
Luke 22:7-20
[7] Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. [8] Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."
[9] "Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked.
[10] He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, [11] and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' [12] He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there."
[13] They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
[14] When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. [15] And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. [16] For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
[17] After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. [18] For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
[19] And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."
[20] In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
This week we consider a few verses in which are hidden the power of the Gospel. If you were raised in church, you've heard these words hundreds of times. I encourage you, however, to set aside what you "know" and come as a simple disciple, listening afresh to Jesus' words as if for the first time. You're in for a treat!
Chronology of the Lord's Supper
"Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed." (22:7)
There is some controversy about which day of the week that Passover occurred on. As I explain in my short essay on "The Chronology of Jesus' Crucifixion" (www.jesuswalk.com/lessons/chronology.htm), Luke seems to indicate that Jesus ate the Passover meal with his disciples on Thursday evening, following a sacrifice of the Passover lambs in the temple on Thursday afternoon.
Peter and John Prepare the Passover (22:8-13)
"Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, 'Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.'
'Where do you want us to prepare for it?' they asked.
He replied, 'As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, "The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?" He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there.'
They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover." (22:8-13)
Finding a room in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover meal wasn't easy with all the crowds of Pilgrims. Jesus now gives some peculiar instructions. Normally women would be carrying jars (Greek keramion -- "an earthenware vessel, (water) jar"),[1] while men would be carrying leather bottles or skins (Greek askos).[2] Jesus' instruction sounds like some kind of pre-arranged signal, perhaps in order to hold the meal in secret, in a place unknown to his enemies. Edersheim comments, "Evidently, neither the house where the Passover was to be kept, nor its owner, was to be named beforehand within hearing of Judas."[3] There could also be a reference to Jesus' supernatural knowledge, similar, perhaps, to Jesus' instructions for obtaining a donkey for the triumphal entry (19:30-31).
An upper room would be an extra room, built onto the flat roof of a typical Palestinian house. It was probably "furnished" (Greek strunnuo, "to equip something with appropriate furnishings") with carpets and cushions on which guests would recline for their meal.[4] Edersheim speculates that this was probably the house of a follower, perhaps St. Mark's parents' home (cf. Mark 14:51-52; Acts 12:12).[5] He supposes that all that is needed for the meal is already in the upper room -- wine for the four cups, cakes of unleavened bread, and the bitter herbs. All Peter and John would need to do would be to sacrifice the Passover lamb at the temple. Either Peter or John would have personally cut the lamb's throat at the appropriate time in the temple service. The lamb would then be roasted on a pomegranate wood spit, and the lamps prepared for the room.[6]
Jesus instructs the disciples to convey this message: "The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?" Many hosts in crowded Jerusalem would combine several families of pilgrims for a Passover meal. But Jesus is asking for a private meal with his disciples only.
Jesus' Words about the Passover (22:14-16)
"When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, 'I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.' " (22:14-16)
It was customary to recline at the Passover meal. Guests would lean on their left arm and eat with their right, legs splayed out behind them.
Often I have wondered at Jesus' words to his disciples in this passage. The KJV translates it literally, "With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer." The doubling of the word "desire" reflects the Hebrew infinitive absolute, a grammatical form indicating intensity -- "earnestly desired" (RSV, NASB). Why was Jesus' desire so great? Verse 16 indicates the answer -- that this will be his last meal with them. The Passover meal is special -- special to Jesus -- and he is so grateful to have the Twelve around the table with him for this final occasion.
As host of the meal, Jesus begins to speak the ancient words of the Passover meal, telling of Israel's Exodus from Egypt by God's strong hand. For Jesus, this Passover meal looks forward to its fulfillment in the Great Feast in the Kingdom of God at the End Time (Luke 13:28-29; 14:15; 22:30; Revelation 19:9).
The Cup (22:17-18)
Most Christians are familiar with the Words of Institution given by the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, since they are usually the words incorporated into our observance of the Lord's Supper:
"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took (Greek lambano, Aorist tense) bread, and when he had given thanks (Greek eucharisteo, Aorist participle), he broke it and said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after supper [he took] the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.' For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
The order in Corinthians (and in Matthew and Mark) is Bread - Cup. But according to the NIV text, Luke's account is Cup - Bread - Cup. Why? Apparently in Luke's record, Jesus takes uses an earlier cup in the meal to emphasize the fact that he will not eat the Passover with them again until the Great Feast in the Kingdom of God. In Matthew and Mark this emphasis comes after his only saying about the cup (Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25). Here is Luke's telling of the incident:
"After taking (Greek dechomai, Aorist participle) the cup, he gave thanks (Greek eucharisteo, Aorist participle) and said, 'Take (Greek lambano, Aorist imperative) this and divide it (Greek diamerizo, Aorist imperative) among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.' " (22:17-18)
The liturgy for the Passover meal consisted of four cups of wine, each with its own blessing and words of explanation. Jesus doubtless utters the ancient words, but at points in the ritual, he distinguishes to the cup and the bread with a new meaning related to his own ministry. Because of the centrality of these passages to our Christian worship, let's examine the verbs in verse 17:
Greek verb dechomai here has the sense "to take something in hand, grasp."[7] It is similar to the usage of the verb lambano in 1 Corinthians 11:23. I don't see much significance in the difference.
Greek eucharisteo, "to express appreciation for benefits or blessings, give thanks, express thanks, render/return thanks."[8] A prayer of thanksgiving was uttered whenever Jews partook of food, and there was an established prayer to be used on this special occasion, probably, "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the world, who has created the fruit of the vine!" (See my article, "Don't Ask the Blessing, Offer One" www.joyfulheart.com/holiday/offer-blessing.htm) Notice that Jesus echoes the words "fruit of the vine" in verse 18 as he proclaims that he will not drink of it again until the Kingdom comes.
Greek lambano, is used in its most common definition, "to get hold of something by laying hands on or grasping something directly or indirectly, take, take hold of, grasp, take in hand."[9] The disciples are told to grasp the cup.
Greek diamerizo means "to distribute objects to a series of persons, distribute, share with someone."[10] It sounds like they were to take the cup, each taking a sip, then passing it on to the next person around the table.
The Bread that Is His Body (22:19a)
"And he took (Greek lambano) bread, gave thanks (Greek eucharisteo) and broke (Greek klao) it, and gave (Greek didomi) it to them, saying, 'This is my body given (Greek didomi, present passive participle) for (Greek huper) you; do this in remembrance of me.' " (22:19)
Part of the Passover meal used unleavened bread. The host would hold the thin loaf of bread and break it, retaining some of it for later in the ritual meal. On this occasion Jesus forever changes the meaning of the bread. Before this, unleavened bread reminded the Jews that there hadn't been enough time for the bread to rise, so sudden was their Exodus from Egypt (Exodus 12:19; 39). Now and forever after it signifies the broken body of our Lord.
Jesus' thanksgiving on this occasion is doubtless the ancient Jewish blessing over the bread: "Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the world, who has caused bread to come forth out of the earth."
Jesus' breaking of the bread (Greek klao) was normal enough as their host, but it was in this act that Jesus was recognized after his resurrection in the town of Emmaus (24:30-31). He also broke (Greek kataklao) a boy's five loaves and fed 5,000 and later 4,000 (9:16; Mark 8:19-20). The disciples' practice of the Lord's Supper came to be called "the breaking of bread" (Acts 2:42, 46; cf. 20:7; 1 Corinthians 10:16).[11]
In Luke, Jesus describes the bread as "given for you," literally "being given" (present passive participle) on your behalf." The Greek preposition here is huper, which is "a marker indicating that an activity or event is in some entity's interest, 'for, in behalf of, for the sake of someone/something.' "[12] Though it isn't developed further in this context, the idea is one of a ransom, where one life is given in exchange for another. Jesus spells this out in Mark's Gospel: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45; Matthew 20:28; cf. 1 Timothy 2:6; Hebrews 9:15).
The Real Presence of Jesus in the Lord's Supper (22:19a)
One question that has divided theologians for centuries is the meaning of the simple verb in: "This is my body." The Greek verb is the present active tense of eimi, the verb "to be," and describes a close connection with, "frequently in statements of identity or equation." Here it is used in an explanation "to show how something is to be understood, 'is a representation of, is the equivalent of.' The verb serves as a copula. It is usually translated "mean" in the formula "this or that means, that is to say."[13]
Roman Catholic scholars, from the time the doctrine of transubstantiation was declared a dogma in 1215 AD, insist that Jesus means that the bread is in very fact and true reality his body. In other words, they take the verb "to be" extremely literally. They contend that though the consecrated bread looks like bread in its "accidents," the bread or "host" is in true reality or "substance" the very body of Jesus Christ. That is why they take such care not to drop or spill the elements in the mass and why the devout genuflect before the presence of the consecrated host in a Catholic sanctuary.[14]
Protestant scholars take the verb "to be" figuratively, so that Jesus is saying "This signifies or means my body." However, Martin Luther taught "sacramental union" (sometimes termed "consubstantiation"), that the actual body and blood of Christ exists "in, with, and under" the elements of bread and wine, transformed by the Word of God (The prefix "con-" means "with."). A few Protestants do protest too much and repeatedly declare the elements of the Lord's Supper to be "mere symbols." Why? Those aren't Jesus' words. In such a callous declaration, these Protestants may be expressing a thoroughly "reformed" doctrine, but not the words of Scripture.
There IS a real presence of Jesus with his people as we partake of the elements. Partaking of the elements constitutes a spiritual feeding on Christ himself. Jesus surely intended, in its fuller understanding, his discourse on the Living Bread (John 6:25-59) to amplify his disciples' understanding of the Lord's Supper.[15] And in this teaching Jesus is graphic to the extreme:
"I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever" (John 6:53-58).
This teaching was so literal and so strong that John records, "From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him" (John 6:66). My dear friend, when you next partake of the Lord's Supper, remember to feed on Jesus in this act of Communion.
Paul, too, indicates that partaking of the bread and the cup are a participation (Greek koinonia, "sharing") in the body and blood of Christ, in the same way that a Jewish priest who ate a portion of the sacrifice participated in the sacrifice itself (1 Corinthians 10:14-18). There is more here than "mere symbols."
A Textual Variant (22:19b-20)
Nearly all the ancient manuscripts, as well as most of the ancient versions and Fathers contain the "longer" reading of this passage. But the Western Text (D) and a few Italian manuscripts omit the following words: " '... do this in remembrance of me. 'In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.' " Were they in the original text as Luke wrote it? Quite probably. Though omitted in the RSV, the longer text is restored in the NRSV, and is shown in the KJV and most other modern translations (NIV, NASB, TEV, JB, etc.).[16]
Do This in My Memory (22:19b)Some of the Words of Institution are in the form of a command: "Do (Greek poieo, present imperative) this in remembrance (Greek anamnesis) of me.' " (22:19b) What does Jesus mean by this?
The Greek verb poieo, "do, make," is sometimes used of repeating rites (see the Greek Septuagint of Exodus 29:35; Numbers 15:11-13; Deuteronomy 25:9). In 22:19b it is used in the present tense, indicating continuing action (whereas the Aorist imperative would indicate to do a single action, as in 22:17), and could be translated, "Continue to do this in my memory."
The Greek noun anamnesis means "reminder, remembrance of something,"[17] and is also used in the Words of Institution in 1 Corinthians 11:24-25. Marshall says "the whole phrase is usually understood to mean, 'Do this so that you will remember me.' "[18] Jesus intends for us disciples to partake of the Lord's Supper again and again to remind us of him and the significance of his death. Christianity is not just love and good works in Jesus' name, but also remembering again and again Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. Christians from earliest days have included the Lord's Supper centrally in their worship.
Blood Poured Out (22:20)
"In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.' " (22:20)
Now Luke introduces a second cup "after the supper." Look at Jesus' words about the cup once again -- they are so personal and compelling. Jesus is addressing his words personally to his beloved but sinful disciples.
They didn't have a "white wine" -- all their wine was dark red, so it isn't surprising that wine is often used in the Bible as a symbol of blood. The Bible refers to wine as "the blood of grapes" (Genesis 49:11; Deuteronomy 32:14; cf. Isaiah 63:6; Joel 3:13; Revelation 14:19-20). When Jesus poured red wine into a cup at the Last Supper, he thought of pouring out blood into the cup -- a striking, searing image. The very next day his own blood would be poured out.
The verb translated "poured out" (NIV) or "shed" (KJV) is Greek ekcheo, "cause to be emitted in quantity, 'pour out'." Blood can be poured out or shed. A bowl can be poured out, bowels can gush out.[19] Liquid gushing out in quantity -- that's the image captured by this word.
The object of this outpouring of blood is his disciples, using the Greek preposition huper, "on behalf of, for the benefit of" (see verse 19a above). And the object is very personal -- "you." In Matthew and Mark the phrase is somewhat impersonal -- "poured out for (peri) many for (eis) the forgiveness of sins" (Matthew 26:28) -- but here it is expressed personally -- "on your behalf ... for your forgiveness ... for your sins."
The New Covenant (22:20)
Finally, we examine the phrase "the new covenant." A covenant was a solemn agreement between two parties, often between a lord (suzerain) and his vassals, which might be considered an agreement, alliance, league, or treaty. A covenant was considered to be in force so long as each party kept the terms of the covenant. Ancient Near Eastern covenants were usually established with a solemn ceremony -- often including the shedding of blood and sometimes a sacred meal. The Hebrew term for making a covenant is literally "cut a covenant," referring to the practice of slaying and cutting up sacrificial animals at the making of the covenant, as between the Lord and Abraham (Genesis 15:9-21).
Since Jesus is referring to a "new covenant," let us consider the "old covenant" which it is replacing, instituted between God and the people of Israel with "the blood of the covenant."
"They offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as fellowship offerings to the Lord. Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar. Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, 'We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey.' Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, 'This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.' " (Exodus 24:5-8)
But Israel broke that covenant. They did not obey. They did not follow God faithfully. There was the need for a "new covenant," prophesied by Jeremiah:
"The time is coming," declares the Lord,
"when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
I made with their forefathers
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to them," declares the Lord.
"This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
after that time," declares the Lord.
"I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
No longer will a man teach his neighbor,
or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,'
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest," declares the Lord.
"For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more."
(Jeremiah 31:31-34)
The New Covenant has as its purpose the forgiveness of sins and reconciliation between God and man. But it is costly. It is a covenant that God makes by pouring out the blood of his own Son. And it is ratified by faith in the Son -- your faith and mine. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him shall not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
For us, the Lord's Supper is both simple and profound. At one level it is symbol. Then a simple act of remembrance. But it is also a spiritual feeding on Jesus. It is, in a sense, the confirming and renewing of the covenant made for us in the blood of Jesus. It is a spiritual sharing in the sacrifice made for us. It is an act of our personal faith in him.
But for Him, it is a promise still extended to us:
"This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me... This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."
The past is forgiven, the future is yours -- a new promise for you, a new covenant. Hallelujah!
Father, thank you for your intense and enduring love which underlies the Bread and the Cup. Thank you for your steadfast purpose to rescue us. Thank you for the extent to which you went to erase our sins and bring us into a new covenant. Thank you for your willingness to endure the pain that we might be free. Thank you. In Jesus' name, we offer thanks. Amen.
Key Verse
"And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.' " (Luke 22:19-20)

We probably have some disagreements about the Lord's Supper. Let's seek to learn together from Jesus' words, rather than fight about doctrines developed many centuries after Christ. Let's be gentle with one another where we disagree.
- Why was Jesus so secretive about the location of his Passover meal with his disciples? (22:7-13)
- Why do you think Jesus desired with such great intensity to eat this Passover meal with his disciples? (22:15) What did Jesus hope to find in this sacred meal for himself? What did he hope to impart?
- Luke has a different pattern than we're used to: cup - bread - cup. What message does Jesus convey to his disciples with the first cup mentioned in 22:17? What is the message that comes with the second cup mentioned in 22:20?
- It's easy to see how wine conveys the idea of blood. But in what way does bread convey to us the idea of Jesus' body? Don't think of a risen loaf of yeast bread. Think of a flat loaf of unleavened bread, kind of like Jewish Matzos.
- What does it mean when Jesus' says "This is my body given for you"? Given how? Given why? Given for what purpose?
- What does it mean "Do this in remembrance of me"? What are we to do?
- Extra Credit: What are the elements of the New Covenant compared to elements of the Old Covenant?
- What does it mean "my blood, which is poured out for you"? Why was it poured out? Why "for you"? Why was the shedding of blood necessary at all?

- No wonder John doesn't include the Words of Institution as do the Synoptic Gospels. Instead he shares the meaning of the Last Supper by relating Jesus' teach on the Bread of Life. When John wrote this late in his life, the words "flesh" and "blood" could not be understood by the early church in any other way as referring to the Eucharist. If John had meant them to understand it another way, he could have added further explanation. However, a number of scholars skate along the edge, concluding that Jesus' teaching in John don't require a reference to the Lord's Supper. See I. Howard Marshall, Last Supper and Lord's Supper (Eerdmans, 1980), pp. 133-139; and George R. Beasley-Murray, Word Bible Commentary: John (Word Books, 1987), pp. 91-96. He concludes, "It is not necessary to interpret the statement exclusively in terms of the body and blood of the Lord's Supper," but acknowledges, "Neither the Evangelist nor the Christian readers could have written or read the saying without conscious reference to the Eucharist" (p. 95).
- The United Bible Society Editorial Committee (Third Edition) gives it a confidence level of {C}, "considerable degree of doubt." The majority of the committee explained the shorter reading by supposing that "the Bezan editor, puzzled by the sequence of cup-bread-cup, eliminated the second mention of the cup." They noted the overwhelming external evidence and the fact that the words are omitted on only part of the Western type of text, and are retained in others of that type. Metzger, pp. 173-177.

I have been over here for a couple of months now, living and working in a part of New South Wales that is South of Sydney. Of course it is possible to walk to this incredible beach from where I live and I have been doing that. Of course I am looking for girls and I found one much easier than I would have expected. She works in a shop down on the beach and she thinks that I am funny. Right now I learned that you can buy vimax in Australia which is apparently a drug which you can buy over the counter, but which purports to do the same thing as viagra. I am not really sure if it does or not, since I have not really tried it yet. It came this morning from the web page that I bought it from and so I have not yet tested it to see if it does what it claims it will do. In fact the truth is that I am sort of more worried about the side effects, but so far as I have been able to tell there are not any really.
So far everything has been really great. This is a very friendly place and everyone is very active. I have been going fishing with this guy from work. He goes out on his boat just about every single weekend. Of course the weather has to be perfect before I will go out on the ocean. I am really afraid of it when it is storming. We never seem to come back without catching a few fish, although in fact I am not really familiar with some of the breeds that you pull up around here. I have had a lot of fun catching them all the same.

WebGL : optimizing / compositingPosted: June 7, 2011 in IT/Dev
Tags: compositing, optimizing, WebGL
Compositing engines found on browsers that support WebGL use CPU in order to mix HTML elements with 3D canvas (required by the specification) :
WebGL is essentially another rendering context on the canvas element, so it can be cleanly combined with HTML and other web content that is layered on top or underneath the 3D content.
Then optimal performance cannot be achieved (there are GPU to CPU data transfer, and then CPU back to GPU transfer). Common optimizations (batch commands, shader – GLSL – functions) arent' then so much efficient.
Browsers could use two rendering engines, as compositing between WebGL views (3D canvas) and other HTML elements aren't likely. Dedicated hardware rendered views are still used for 3D applications, windowed games, and recent versions of Flash plugin.
However Flash uses the embed element, that is managed in a different manner (it was created on purpose, to allow to embed non standard elements), while WebGL element (standard) is at the same level as other HTML elements, and then rendered by the same container view (that corresponds to the HTML document), that is a Cocoa WebView on MacOSX.
Hardware acceleration is still used for CSS Effects/CSS3 transitions and video tag, however they may also require software compositing (or the specification doesn't state to allow mixing with other HTML elements).
iCloud / major labels fees / indiesPosted: June 7, 2011 in Apple, Audio
Tags: fees, iCloud, indies, labels, major
Apple paid about $100-150 million to major labels to provide access from everywhere to their customers to their previously paids iTunes songs. The service will be free for some time, then about $25 a year.
Apple will then share 70 percent of revenues with the major labels and 12 percent with the publishers, while keeping 18 percent.
Annual fees for technical access seems fair, however labels shouldn't receive anything for this, as it is for personal use/listening, and it isn't really different than carying a CD on a portable player (or many CD copy on a memory-based player).
Such service would have been better targeted to indie artists as customers would be more inclined to pay a subscription fee for listening to many more unknowns artists, than pay twice for knowns ones or full album price per indie artist (as without hints they would have to try many to find some they like).
iOS5 SDK: auto ref count/GL Kit/storyboardPosted: June 7, 2011 in Apple, IT/Dev
Tags: GL Kit, iOS5, ref count, SDK, storyboard
Among new features and frameworks in iOS5 SDK we find auto reference counting (however still no Objective-C 2 garbage collector from MacOSX – for performance and memory constraints reasons), GL Kit, OpenGL ES game extensions, OpenGL ES debugger, storyboarding.
Update : auto ref count (ARC) provided by Apple indeed works by adding objects management code at compile time (enhancement), and also includes releasing code. We then benefit from both transparent coding (as with a garbage collector) and performance (no additional runtime that dynamically checks memory, objects are released as soon as reference count is 0).

After only a few months, the Times-Picayune reported on April 10, 1870 that the experiment with Chinese railroad workers was a "decided success," concluding "Steady at their work, industrious when the contract hours of labor have expired, sober, frugal, willing, and mindful of the stipulations of their agreement, but exacting in the fulfillment of those in their favor, is the sum of the evidence..."
The Chinese Are Coming, The Chinese Are Coming (1870)
In 1870, there were few Chinese in the midsections of the United States, but with the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad at Promontory Point, Utah in 1869, the Chinese who helped build the Central Pacific Railroad portion were suddenly out of work. However, their reputation as cheap, and diligent, workers led labor contractors to recruit them tto work on building regional railroads such as the Houston Central Railroad in Texas. The newspaper account on January 5, 1870 reported that 230 "Chinamen" had arrived at St. Louis en route to Calvert,Texas. The account noted that if they worked out well, more Chinese would be recruited. It was optimistic that they would hasten the railroad construction after which they would be sent to Kansas, presumably for other railroad work.

Bailout, Stimulus Package and US Economy March 25, 2009Posted by bdoza in BANGLADESH, ECONOMY, IMF.
Tags: Bailout, Stimulus package, US economy, USA, world economic crisis
add a comment
US economy is feeling the pain of economic recession for the last few years. But the crisis surfaced at the end of Bush Administration when both Obama and MaCaine were at the height of their campaign. Both of them attended the special meeting of President Bush with the congress and Senate leaders where consensus for bailing out the financial institutions were made by extending support of 900b $.
This bail out proposal was later passed reduced by congress and the senate amid confusion and criticism from the ordinary citizens. To common people it is not clear then and still now why tax payers' money would be expended for rescuing the companies who failed for their own reasons. Logic came in favour of bail out that the rescueing of the companies will save the jobs of the common people.
After Obama came to Power, as a part of economic plan, he declared the Stimulus Package for the growth of the economy by supporting home owners, Small business, education,transportation and infrastructure, medical support, art etc.
The plans faced criticism when AIG distributed a major portion of its money as bonuses to the executives. Public rage was so much that the congress formed a special Committee for hearing the explanation from the CEO of AIG.
Is the economy is improving after all these measures. Not likely. Not only US, the Europe, Japan and China are also feeling the pangs.
In a recent statement IMF told that the developing countries, though their economy will be affected but the growth rate will be less affected than the developed nations.
To ordinary citizen, the perplexing question is why US economy vis a vis the world economy is collasping? Is is a normal phenomon or a mere cycle of depression which hit in 30, in 50 and now? or Is it a failure of capitalism itself? Is the concept of capitalism on the wane like the communism? and a new world order is necessary?
The governents are busy with the remedy and the it looks that measures are temporary and superficial and will not cure the illess of the of the system itself. But very few people are actually looking into the fault of the system and analysing the permanent way out of the complexity.

The world is passing through a critical food crisis which has not affect the world for many decades. Already social uncertainty, political unrest and riots start off in many developing countries. […]
World Bank has warned that the present crisis will deepen and will create further deterioration in law and order situation in those countries. But the pity is that the warning from the World Bank came when the situation is already exposed. World Bank has failed miserably in forecasting the situation earlier and more significantly to suggest measures to offset the crisis early. (more…)

In turn it will increase the suffering of the people and decrease the growth of the economy in our country. (more…)

A viral video making the rounds is "How Much Does The Internet Weigh?" from the folks at Vsauce. It's an entertaining look at the concept of data actually possessing some weight, although we can't really measure the weight of an individual data point, when taken altogether we get something to the effect of something that does weigh something. Got that?
At the moment, the entire Internet weighs about the same as a single strawberry. I think we need to do a lot more communicating and pontificating in order to get that weight up to a box of Cocoa Puffs.

Located in Rutledge Hill (a couple blocks from Rolling Mill Hill), Husk is a Charleston classic, Nashville has welcomed with open arms. Nestled in a historic home downtown, this fine dining establishment is on the top of my list for a fancy night out.
The menu is southern classic, laced with delightful twists. With all ingredients sourced locally, the menu changes often, but trust me, you can't go wrong.
The renovated space is also a beautiful mix of southern charm with a modern flair. This neighborhood charm is just what the hill south of Broadway needed. Reservations are necessary and can be made through opentable.com.

"Wappon" is the German term for shield or coat-of-arms. This wappon tells the Ollenburger story in icons.
These have been exciting years for us Ollenb*rgers. We include among our numbers now families from both sides of the Atlantic. We've tracked down an astounding amount of new lineage through the many new friends we've made. We gathered as an extended family for the first time. We've gained enormous insight into our individual and group histories. And we pledge to continue ardent research into our history and provide the most up-to-date references possible.
If you're here, chances are you're on a search for knowledge. That's what we're here for: Ollenburger facts and lore in abundance!
We're here to memorialize, too. Generations pass and the accomplishments of our forefathers become lost. Many old cultures support the belief that, as long as the ancestor is remembered, he or she still lives. By remembering our ancestors, we make them immortal.
And last, each day of the past leads into the future. The scope of the Ollenburger past includes stamina, leaps of faith, and perseverence, qualities that, we trust, remain in the genes to this day.
