Who's in charge here? -- Seasons and epochs in our lives are market by transitions in leadership. We ask who is responsible, who is in charge, and point fingers it the direction of authority. Sometimes we point toward ourselves, other times we point to someone in charge, or an individual or group who has taken action and ownership of decisions. Scripture demonstrates these transitions, different ways that people respond, and how we are called as followers and leaders. Ultimately we look to God as revealed through Jesus as our leader, and take responsibility for our own decisions and their consequences.
TEXTS: Exodus 16:2-7; Ephesians 4:1-7 (Also: 1 Corinthians 3)
Inspired by "I Know Him" from Hamilton by Lin Manuel Miranda, sung by Jonathan Groff.
Hamilton - I Know Him from Ken G Crawford on Vimeo.Please buy the song on iTunes and also support Puerto Rico.
The lyrics of this brief song echo sentiments expressed by the religious and political rules of first century Jerusalem and Galilee - "Who does this Jesus think he is? He's not qualified to exercise authority. We knew him way back when... And he's certainly not the first and won't likely be the last to claim the title of Chosen Leader (i.e. Messiah or Christ). GOOD LUCK!!!"
The song also invites us to reflect upon our own lives and who exercises leadership and authority. As we grow up we transition this role from our parents and other adults to ourselves. U.S. culture encourages us to think that we are the masters of our own domain, captains of our own destiny. While there is truth in this, it also reveals an arrogance that rejects the role others play in our lives. We continue to need mentors and advisers and coaches. Those who have found healing through the 12 Steps of AA recognize the need for a power outside ourselves to help us in those areas of life where we experience powerlessness - whether that's addiction to substances, or failure in relationships, or an inability to manage finances, or a lack of hope. It is at these places where we are invited to recognize God as the leader, guide and source.
#Neighboring - go to lunch
In our staff meetings we allocate time regularly for leadership skill development.
Continuing our discussion of communication, we watched the following video
Elizabeth Lesser - Take the "Other" to Lunch
She also appeared with Guy Raz on Ted Radio Hour, and you can read the transcript here or download the mp3 and listen here.
Here are some of our quick notes for your reference.
As we "partner with our neighbors to experience God's transforming love" we will increasingly be called to practices like this - getting to know and appreciate (and eventually love) our neighbors.
"Neighboring" as a verb means to treat "the other" as we want to be treated, and seek to know and see the image of God in them.
Start by taking "the other" to lunch.
See you at the table.
God's View of Who Belongs
SERMON NOTES for 072218:
(TEXTS: Jeremiah 23:1-6; Ephesians 2:11-22)
From the perspective of the Covenant of God with Abraham and his descendants, the human race was divided into two groups: Jews and Gentiles (literally "races" or "peoples"). Paul calls them "circumcised and uncircumcised" (Eph 2:11). That's it. The whole human race divided into "God's covenant people" and "everyone else". Which may sound harsh and cynical and frankly pretty narcissistic of the Hebrew people and stingy of God. Till you actually hear WHY the children of Abraham were called:
Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (Genesis 12:1-3)
Abraham was promised that, through the covenant God was establishing, the world would experience blessing. That was the purpose of the special relationship. The people often lost sight of that. The covenant became a source of pride rather than humility, and the covenant became a wedge and a hammer rather than a source of healing and flourishing. Until finally Jeremiah had to say, "You're going to be in captivity 70 years for your faithlessness. And after that time God will redeem and restore you.
In the meantime... return to your first purpose. Bless your neighbors. Put down roots and commit to your community like you love it, like you need it and they need you. For you will only be able to experience God's blessings to the degree that you first bless others." (Jeremiah 29:4-15 paraphrase) Those people in that other group, the ones who you consider "outsiders", love them as you love me.
And then along comes Jesus, who "breaks down the dividing wall and the hostility between us, making of the two groups one people." (Eph 2:14-16). Because of the work of Christ on the cross, there are no longer two groups of people. There is just one chosen people, the human race. The call still exists to be a blessing. Its extends now to all humanity, and those who hear it are drawn into it. Whether people recognize, believe, accept or embrace this, it is a true and completed fact. God has extended the call of "blessed to be a blessing" to the whole human race. Jesus is the redeemer and savior of all. There are no insiders and outsiders any longer. There are no hoops to jump through or requirements to meet.
The witness of the gospel of Jesus as Paul articulates it to the Ephesians is that God through Jesus has done away with the distinctions that used to separate Jew from Gentile – chosen from excluded. The church has spent much time, spilling measureless ink and blood, to declare and prove that some are IN while others are OUT. It continues today, with people still arguing in word and practice the following: Male = In / Female = Out. Straight = In / Gay = Out. Rich = In / Poor = Out. White = In / Everyone Else = Out. God declares that the dividing walls are torn down. The borders and barriers that we erect between us, and even that scripture has been interpreted to construct, are eliminated.
You don't have to change to belong. You already belong. Everyone belongs. Welcome home.
As you come, allow God to continue working in and through you to move toward fullness and flourishing. God accepts and welcomes us as we are, but does not leave us such. God calls and crafts us forward from chaos to wholeness.
Measures of True Faith
What are some useful and reliable measures of "True Faith"?
Plumb Line. Used in construction to ensure that the upper parts of a structure built upon the foundation are square and in line with the cornerstone. Are the walls vertical and true?
The first element in a structure is the corner stone, from which all measures are taken horizontally, vertically and diagonally (to ensure square angles). When setting frame timbers, or building a masonry wall, the plumb line helps to ensure that the walls are perfectly vertical, and set directly over the cornerstone rather than leaning in or out.
It is vital to remember that the chief cornerstone for our faith is not the Law of Moses, or any other set of rules. Jesus is the chief cornerstone for the community of faith (Eph 2:20). His person. His reality. His teaching and witness and ministry of healing and justice and transformation. Jesus is the primary reference point for our lives of faith, from which we line and measure so that we are true and plumb with His work.
Jesus, as much as we can know him, is known through the witness of scripture, from the teachings of the church through the last 2000 years, and through the ongoing witness and teaching of the Holy Spirit who continues what Jesus began. Another term we might use is canon – as in the canon of scripture – derives from the Greek word for a ruler or measuring stick. It was a piece of reed or bamboo that was cut to a standard length and could then be used to ensure everything else "measured up".
The Christian Faith is built upon the identity of Jesus, who is the canon for matters of faith. We ask questions like, "How does this 'measure up' against what we know about the life, teachings and work of Jesus? Paul tells us that "in Him the fullness of God was pleased to dwell" (Col 1:19). So Jesus is God's self-revelation to us. Jesus is what God wants us to know about God's self. Jesus is thus the measure of what is true about God, or at least what God wants us to trust and upon which we build our lives.
The question remains, "What measures do you (we) use to confirm that our own words and actions align with the person of Jesus?" What is our plumb line to ensure that we are building lives of faith (and the church) true to the chief cornerstone?
Ramadan Dinner at Central
Join us for a free, public event of peace through understanding. Please RSVP so we can prepare sufficient food and seating for all who wish to attend, learn, and grow together as neighbors.
Christians, Muslims and Jews trace their heritage to Abraham and his descendants. As such, we are siblings within the family of the three great monotheistic religions. This is reason enough to share life together. Beyond this, we understand that at this time in human history (and in our own nation and communities) it is essential that we seek peace through understanding. We fear what we do not know and understand, and we learn to hate what we fear because this emotion is less threatening somehow. The holy month of Ramadan is a time for faithful people to draw near to God through prayer and fasting, reminding ourselves that we are dependent upon the provision of a loving God.
We are excited to invite you to join us at Central Christian Church for a special Ramadan Dinner on Wednesday, June 6th at 7:30pm.
The evening will start with a welcome by the host and followed by a Ramadan presentation. Tasty home cooked meals will be served at the dinner. Fast breaking time is at 8.34pm sharp and the evening will end after dinner.
Join us to make this a memorable night and break bread together in the holy month of Ramadan!
This event is cohosted by The Dialogue Institute of Dallas, whose aim is to promote mutual understanding, respect & cooperation among people of diverse faiths & cultures by creating opportunities for direct communication. You can also find them on Facebook at @DialogueInstDFW.
Hebrews 2:10 reads: "It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering." The Greek word used here is teleio. This word can mean perfect, but a better translation (given our modern connotations of that word) would be complete or whole. If you've been working on a 5000 piece puzzle and you fit in the last few pieces, then the puzzle has reached its telos – its intended end or purpose. It is now complete, whole, perfect. You can see the full image in all its beauty and complexity and the puzzle has and is fulfilling its purpose.
Jesus needed to suffer not because suffering itself is a means to perfection, but because without that Jesus would not be complete as our mediator. Jesus-as-God-in-flesh must undergo the full human experience, which includes suffering and death. Only then is Jesus complete, whole, perfect. Only then is the puzzle of the Messiah finished. Jesus even said from the cross, "It is finished." This was not an affirmation of suffering itself, but a declaration that through his own suffering on the cross he had achieved full and final union with humanity, and thus was able to redeem the fullness of humanity not in his death but through conquering death in the resurrection.
Unfortunately, this one verse has been used by the church for two millenia to justify the use of suffering as a means to sanctification and perfection of the followers of Jesus. This is blasphemy. We already suffer. If human suffering could have been redemptive then we would not have needed Jesus to join fully divinity and humanity in one being. You do not need to suffer to experience God's salvation. Christ has suffered for you.
And yet, Jesus also calls us to take up our cross and follow him. The author of Hebrews references the sufferings of his own audience (10:32-39). He states explicitly that "[Jesus] had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect…" including "sharing in their flesh and blood" and thus their sufferings. (2:14-18)
Biblical perfection – "Be perfect as God is perfect" (Matthew 5:48) – means to be mature, whole and complete, and thus to fulfill one's end or purpose. It is not about never making mistakes, nor ever changing one's mind. It is not about flawlessness of speech or skin. This phrase from Matthew could be understood in this way: Seek God's measure of perfection rather than the world's measure, for "humans look on the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7).
God does not seek to shape our hearts by suffering, but to redeem our sufferings. Jesus became "perfect" in that he was fully like us only when he suffered and died, thus making him able to redeem and transform our humanity fully. When we "take up our cross" for the sake of the gospel we are following Jesus' example of accepting suffering and hardship rather than forsake the calling and turn our backs on those Jesus desires to reach through you and me. God does not will or desire that we suffer. God recognizes that we will, and becomes our ally and advocate by joining fully in our suffering. When we suffer for the sake of the gospel, for the sake of justice and righteousness on behalf of the kingdom of God, then our sufferings become efficacious because they are joined with those of Christ (Colossians 1:24). When we willingly endure suffering for the sake of others this becomes our testimony to them – an extension of Jesus' own testimony of suffering for the sake of the world. It becomes our solidarity with God-in-Christ and with the world Jesus came to save.
Jesus suffered so that you would not be alone in your suffering, and so that through his own suffering, death and resurrection he might transform all suffering. God does not directly answer the question "Why is there suffering?" or "Why does God allow suffering?". God's response to those queries is Jesus. "I am with you. You are not alone. Your suffering is not the final word. Death is not the final word. I will redeem, restore, make new. I have (already) reconciled to myself all things through Jesus' life, death and resurrection."
We might wish, hope and long for a God who would eliminate suffering. This is fruitless. Rather, we have a God who comes to be one of us, to undergo all things in human experience, and thus is able both to understand and to redeem.
Whatever you're going through, you are not alone.
God really does understand and really does care.
This is cause for hope. This is Good News.
Exploring Cross-Cultural References
Communication requires mutual understanding, or is perhaps the process of arriving at that understanding. My 8th grade science teacher used to say, "To hear me is to understand me." One aspect of this shared meaning is cultural reference points, including our story-telling. The New Testament often refers sideways to cultural touch points, particularly agricultural, political and military illusions which may be lost on a modern urban audience. The authors also reach back to the Hebrew Scriptures and other narratives that would have been well known to their contemporary audience but which are increasingly unfamiliar today.
In a similar way, we need a shared vocabulary of current pop-culture references – the stories of our own time. Complicating this is that "our time" crosses nearly a century and 6+ generations, and multiple language, ethnicity, race, and gender identity subcultures. Our ability to communicate requires a shared body of narrative references.
Toward that end, I'm undertaking a periodic survey of people's favorite stories, as those are likely the ones that have the greatest potential communicative impact on them. Below is my initial set of questions (and on SurveyMonkey here). I welcome your responses, you're your suggestions for how to improve this project.
NOTE: We will be using this to develop future worship series and other teaching opportunities.
POP CULTURE QUIZ – What are the stories of your life?
HEY!!! NOW, you can take the survey on SurveyMonkey here.
Following Easter we returned to an earlier rhythm of spending 30 minutes +/- in staff meeting on leadership equipping - addressing the vision and mission of Central and sharpening the skills that will help us pursue God's call with excellence.
At staff meeting yesterday we shared a conversation after watching this brief interview (https://youtu.be/nxqEye8ma5o) with Warren Bird of Leadership Network and Reggie McNeal author of Kingdom Come: Why We Must Give Up Our Obsession with Fixing the Church and What We Should Do Instead
Reggie has been a leader for over 20 years in helping congregations reach their communities, shifting from maintenance to mission. Though he does not use the same language, this is consistent with Eddie Hammett's The Gathered and Scattered Church vision. And though he doesn't address it in this video, a vibrant faith commitment to Jesus is presumed in everything he says here. He starts with that as a given, and then goes forward from there.
You can learn more about Reggie here - http://www.reggiemcneal.org/
And about Leadership Network here - http://leadnet.org/
The graphic below shows my whiteboard notes of our conversation.
Please join in the discussion.
Primary reference texts: Genesis 1: 26-31; Romans 8:14-25
We care for community and creation
The first generations of our movement lived primarily in rural areas and small towns. They lived close to the land and were dependent upon it for their survival. They did not explicitly convey a concern for the environment as such, because they didn't need to. Caring for that upon which you are dependent no doubt seemed obvious to them. Barton Stone, Alexander and Thomas Campbell and others were people of their time who shared many of the same values, priorities, and blindnesses.
Our movement grew rapidly during the 19th century in part because the country was growing rapidly westward and we went with them. Born on the frontier, we were tailor made for the individualism of the time.
Why as "Big D Disciples" do we care about the Environment and make this a priority?
There are several reasons grounded in our historic identity. I occasionally hear someone say something along the lines of, "I don't come to church to hear about the environment, about the plight of the poor, or other social issues." I come to hear sermons from the bible.
My response is: "Tell me what's left of the bible if you remove creation, the poor, and our relationships with one another in community? Not much." I don't mean this in a sarcastic way. I'm genuinely serious, and if you're skeptical I hope to convince you this morning, at least a little.
We are people of the book, and so we prioritize those things the Bible prioritizes. As relates to our concern for community and creation, here's a short list:
1. God made and loves creation, (Genesis 1-2) and therefore we should too. John tells us that through Jesus all things were made. Would you disrespect and degrade and destroy the things your loved ones have made?
2. Creation is a unified whole that includes humanity. (Genesis 1-2) We are not a second, separate, later and greater project. "We're all in this together."
3. Creation is integral to God's salvation plan Romans 8; Colossians 1; Revelation 20-21
As evidence of this, Paul conveys that creation itself is also part of God's salvation plan. God's salvation is not a individualistic experience just for those who believe a certain set of ideas or even who claim allegiance to a particular person, even Jesus. Paul, for whom Jesus is everything, is the one who tells us that creation longs for redemption and will experience redemption. Followers of Jesus in this life are simply the first fruits of what God will do for all of God's creation.
Colossians 1: 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers--all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.
4. Creation is God's witness and teacher for us – Psalm 104 & Romans 1 & Job 12. Creation teaches us about the nature of God, classically referred to as Revelation through nature. We cannot know everything about God in this way, but we can see beauty, creativity, love, provision, transformation, regeneration, mutuality, and the cycle of death and renewal. We can see our vulnerability and need for community. We can see that power exists beyond our control or understanding.
5. Creation praises God with us, and therefore is worthy of our honor and respect as our sibling in worship. (Psalm 148) Jesus said during his triumphal entry into Jerusalem that if his followers did not praise him then even the very rocks on the roadside would raise their voices in praise (Luke 19:40).
6. Care for the poor requires care for creation
The bible demonstrates clearly God's concern for the poor. God intervened for Jacob and his children during famine, and Paul even took up a collection among the churches because of a famine in the region around Jerusalem. We understand today the ways that human action causes and worsens the natural processes that lead to famine. We also can see with just a cursory look around that the poor are far more vulnerable to all environmental disasters.
7. We are in covenant relationship with creation – God's first covenant with creation is in the act of creating. And our faith affirmations from those two stories declare an interdependence – we need the rest of creation for our sustenance and our companionship – "It is not good for the human to be alone." Similarly, we are told that the plant world did not come into being until we could be present to care for it. (Gen 2). Our modern scientific understanding makes clear that the timing is otherwise, but our faith profession is none-the-less one of interdependence. Genesis 1 proclaims this covenant as one of dominion – the relationship of a sovereign and subjects, of God and humanity. Dominion is a form of covenant relationship that requires care and provision, if not affection.
What can we do?
1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – this isn't some liberal conspiracy. It's not a silly hippy or hipster trend. Based on the seven witnesses above, these three practices are integral to our life of faith. We read and hear about companies pursuing zero waste – In.gredients in Austin is a new zero waste grocery store. Even nations are getting into the act. Sweden has sent less than 1% of its waste to landfills each year since 2011. They are so efficient at reuse that they have to import rubbish from other nations just to keep their recycling plants going.
What is preventing Central from pursuit of being a zero waste organization? What if we start by not using paper products except when absolutely necessary? We have glasses, ceramic mugs, plates, metal cutlery and cloth towels. In our fellowship events alone we could reduce our waste significantly by washing dishes rather than using disposables.
2. Reduce our carbon footprint and use of natural resources. Every light switch in the building has a sign saying we move money to mission by turning off the lights. And frank is doing a great job of switching us to LEDs from incandescent and fluorescent lights.
What is preventing Central from pursuit of being a producer rather than consumer of electricity?
What if we installed solar panels on the roof? We might end up selling electricity back to the grid. What if we installed water collection systems to water our flower beds and lawn, at least during parts of the year. We could reduce our use of city water by 1/2.
3. Shop and Buy sustainably. Use reusable bags and recycle any paper or plastic bags we do get. Favor reduced packaging manufacturers and retailers. Buy in bulk, even perhaps forming a coop with others.
4. Support entrepreneurs who are innovating – SyncLife Coworking can be a way that we gather, collaborate and support nonprofit and for-profit enterprises that seek to address environmental issues.
5. Neighbor those who live at the margins and are most affected – here at 4711 Westside Drive we are fairly insulated from environmental problems. Plenty of green space, not in a flood zone, no toxic dumps or manufacturing near by. But we can pursue mutual friendship with those who are not so fortunate, and help them pursue environmental justice for their families and communities.
6. Advocate – use our voices toward (the literal meaning of advocate) environmental best practices in our own homes, communities, state and around the world.
7. Study, pray and share – perhaps the most important thing we can do is dig more deeply into our faith tradition, resources and practices where we will find that God calls us deeply into living as those who receive our covenant relationship with creation as a gift from a gracious God. We are mutually dependent upon one another, and by God's wisdom and spirit we can live more faithful, healthy and fruitful lives.
These seven witnesses of scripture to us and seven witnesses of the church to the world give us a clear biblical foundation for Christians, individually and collectively, to show care for community and creation. Any gospel that lacks this environmental emphasis is incomplete at best. At worst it mocks the love of God who created us for mutuality in relationship with God, one another, and the natural world. The entire witness of scripture from Genesis to Revelation elevates God's love for us in and through nature and the reciprocal call to love God by loving and tending God's good gifts in creation.

Dear Friends of God,
I don't know how often you think of yourself under the label "friend of God," but I hope that you hear and receive it as a word of blessing, encouragement and hope. In your giving to Central Christian Church through time, talent and treasure, you are demonstrating your friendship, commitment and love to God. After all, this is what friends do for one another, isn't it?
Abraham was called "friend of God" (Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23). Jesus called his disciples "friends" (John 15:15) and The Son and The Father are One (John 10:30). Those who do the will of God are Jesus' family (Matthew 12:50). We are friends and family with God when we join together in what God is doing in the world in and through the church. By your financial contributions you are doing just that. Here are some examples:
Thank you for your continued faithfulness and partnership with Central as we serve the world in Jesus' name and for his sake. Please contact the church office if you have any questions about the enclosed giving statement.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Ken

Bill Bonds: Newsman of 'Incredible Kindness and Breathtaking Boorishness'
Bill Bonds, legendary Detroit TV news anchor, died Dec. 14 at age 82. Bonds worked the bulk of his career at WXYZ, and also worked for years in local radio.
The Detroit Free Press said Bonds, who earned a nationwide reputation for his coverage of the Detroit riot in 1967, "was capable of incredible kindness and breathtaking boorishness." He battled alcoholism for much of his life, though friends said he was sober for his final 10 years.
Bonds also spent time at WJBK, with elite market stints at KABC Los Angeles and WABC New York.
A family statement read, in part:
"Bill had a great passion for the news business. More than anything, he loved bringing the news to the people of Detroit. Bill believed we were a better community, if we were a well-informed community."
The Freep story has well over 100 comments. One, from Gerald Talerico, reads:
"Bonds was 100% Detroit, period!!"

Professors at the University of California Mihri Ozkan and Cengiz Ozkan imagined a swimsuit with an eco-friendly activity since this bikini acts like a sponge that absorbs the impurities and the polluant oils that we can find in water, by keeping them to its material made of nano-carbons (coming from sugar). This fabulous bikini, which design is made of 3D printed flexible plastic, will be able to absorb 25 times its own weight, depending on the substance's density to absorb.

This graph was composed by data from a Digi-Logger. Yellow line is the air-fuel ratio (higher = richer)
Under normal driving, the ECU reads off the lambda and trims the fuel to keep the average at 14.7:1 (stoichiometric). This can be seen in the beginning of this graph by the yellow line spiking up and down while the throttle is partly open (Blue line shows rpm). Here the ECU is working to trim the fuel. This is closed loop mode.
As soon as full throttle is applied (WOT), the ECU should switch immediately to the map fuel value and bypass the lambda. However, this is where the Digi-Lag problem occurs since instead of going to a steady fuelling range, the ECU continues to cycle the mixture for a unfixed time period (usually between 1-3 seconds). This can be seen by the continued spiking of the yellow A/F plot even though the RPM's are approaching 6k from a downshift by the tester. Notice the boost is climbing to 15psi and the engine is still going into very lean conditions!
Digi-Lag is the lag in Fuel Enrichment under Full Throttle.
After the ECU finally hits correct enrichment, it only stays there until you change gear and floor it again. As soon as WOT is released, the whole process starts again. So you get Digi-Lag over and over through the gears!!

Attackers gained read-only access to systems with backup data, source code, and "other logs".
They were able to obtain usernames and corresponding email addresses - information that could make it possible to link activity on the site to real identities.
Finally, he shared that they are taking measures to guarantee that additional points of privileged access to Reddit's systems are more secure, and that the company hired their first Head of Security two and a half months ago.
Reddit announced on Wednesday that a hacker broke into its computer systems in June, gaining access to the email addresses of some of its users and a database of user names from 2007. "If your account credentials were affected and there's a chance the credentials relate to the password you're now using on Reddit, we'll make you reset your Reddit account password", said Reddit administrator KeyserSosa.
Now that their investigation is wrapped up, the company says it is notifying the affected users, requiring passwords to be reset and working with law enforcement to continue to examine the attack. The logs connect usernames with associated email addresses and contain suggested posts from the safe for work subreddits users subscribe to.
Between June 14 and June 18 of this year, Reddit says an attacker "compromised a few of our employees' accounts with our cloud and source code hosting providers".
Whatever the case may be, Reddit is using the security incident to encourage the public to switch over to non-SMS-based two-factor authentication.
Ambuj Kumar, CEO of Fortanix, noted that malicious actors can intercept text messages using fake base stations or subscriber hijacking attacks, yet many banks and service providers continue to use SMS-based authentication.
More specifically, two years worth of data from Reddit's launch in 2005 through May 2007 was compromised. The company also included instructions for users to remove their Reddit data.
Some Reddit users reported that they had already received extortion-based phishing emails that cited the hacked credentials. Fortunately, the hacker/hackers only gained access to backups from May 2007. Unfortunately many sites do not support any kind of 2-factor authentication - let alone methods that go beyond SMS or a one-time code that gets read to you via an automated phone call.
For those thinking that deleting their Reddit account may assist them, Small said the cat is out of the bag. "We understand it's hard to remember all your passwords but there are tools such as password generators and managers that can help solve this problem and ensure you don't become vulnerable to today's digitally advanced criminals". So that means if you created your account after this date, you should be in the clear.
Furthermore, two-factor authentication is something that everyone should be using by now.

* Fortnite is currently in early-access, thus our opinion is based on an unfinished product.
Fortnite is a brand-new title from Epic Games that is currently in early access. It's unlike any other game I've played and could only be described as a cross between Minecraft, tower defence and an FPS.
The world of Fortnite is perfectly normal and tranquil until a mysterious storm hits which causes zombie-like creatures, called husks, to emerge and go on a brain eating rampage. Your job, as a hero, is to rescue stranded survivors and protect valuable locations. Each mission will task you with completing a certain goal; this could be to destroy X number of encampments, protect a weather balloon or find useful intel. The level will randomly generate in one of many varying biomes, such as industrial, city or forest, which results in a different experience every time you play.
Before each mission starts you can pick which hero you want to play as. There are 4 classes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses; Soldier, Ninja, Constructor and Outlander. Soldiers focus on firepower and eradicating as many husks as possible. Ninjas allow you to leap around the battlefield dealing extra damage will melee weapons. Constructors will point their attention to fortifying defences, being able to build quicker helps here. Lastly, Outlanders, they can attain more resources from the chests and boxes around the map and support the rest of the team. Over time you'll level up your favourite heroes which will allow you to take on harder challenges. Furthermore, you will want to be putting points into your skill tree. This will grant you access to more skills and better loot.
A standard mission in Fortnite, which you'll come across a few times, is to locate a van and protect it until it can escape. Once you spawn into the level you'll be given bonus challenges, one of these is to complete the mission within 2 in game days. It's not a difficult challenge but it helps get you better loot if you accomplish it. Scattered around the level will be all sorts of items; cars, trees, rocks, bins, lamp posts, buildings, the list could go on. These items, when destroyed will give you resources. There are three main resources; wood, brick and metal. These are used to craft defences and can also allow you to reach further areas. Once the van is located you'll want to make use of these defences by crafting walls, floors and ceilings around it. You can really go to town on your design to make sure no husks get through. Early in the game it's not so important to worry about your building, it's quite easy and not much of a challenge. But later you'll need to ensure that your design is top notch and will prevent husks from reaching their target. Most missions will follow this basic pattern of locating an area, fortifying said area then defending against the husks.
Crafting is a large part of Fortnite and the way you build is super cool. It's very straight forward and you don't need to remember any specific recipes. Simply open the build menu, select your piece (wall, floor, ceiling, stairs or roof) then place it down. But what happens if you want a door way, or a window? Well Epic Games have got that covered. You need to enter edit mode; this allows you to make changes to your building pieces. You'll see 9 blocks cover the building piece and if you remove certain blocks, the result will change. Let's take a wall piece for example, imagine 9 small blocks making up this wall, if you remove the middle lower 2 blocks and place the wall, it will have a door built into it. Likewise, to make a window, remove the centre block and voila, you have yourself a window. It's an incredibly simply mechanic but allows for an array of different designs so that no two fortifications are the same.
Along with buildings, you will find yourself crafting weapons and traps too. To craft these items, you first need to learn the schematic; these can be gathered from loot or by picking up a previously unknown weapon. This means that if you have a sweet weapon but your friend doesn't, drop the weapon, let them pick it up so they learn the schematic then get them to drop it down for you. They can then go off and craft their own.
When I first jumped into Fortnite it seemed like a huge game with lots to offer, I could see myself playing this game for quite some time. However, I quickly came to realise that it's very repetitive and "grindy" in nature. Each mission, whilst visually different, starts to feel the same. And the satisfaction for completing these missions wasn't enough to keep me coming back. I had a lot of hope for Fortnite but I'm sadly disappointed. Fortunately the game is still in early access, due for a free release some time in 2018. The team at Epic Games are constantly pushing out updates and listen closely to the community so whilst, in it's current state, I can't say I overly enjoyed the game, I expect in a few months time it will be worth revisiting to experience the new features it has to offer.

Emerging market bonds have suffered in recent months, but according to Alain-Nsiona Defise, Head of Emerging Corporates, Mary-Therese Barton, Head of Emerging Market Debt at Pictet Asset Management, fears of a renewed currency and debt crunch are overblown.
Article also available in : English | français
When a Nobel economics Laureate, a Harvard finance professor and an emerging market guru take the same dim view of developing economies, you'd expect the investment community to sit up and take notice. The combined intellect of Paul Krugman, Carmen Reinhart and Mark Mobius is pretty formidable after all.
But investors have done much more than prick up their ears. They have also voted with their feet. As the chorus of voices predicting an emerging market crisis has grown louder, bonds issued by governments and companies based in developing economies have spiralled lower. Year-to-date, the JPMorgan GBI-EM Index of local currency emerging bonds is down some 5 per cent [1].
Still, it's not the first time investors have been confronted with dire warnings about a credit and currency crunch in emerging markets. The same occurred during the "taper tantrum" of 2013, when the US Federal Reserve first signalled its intent to rein back quantitative easing.
The bears turned out to be wrong then. They are also mistaken now. And on several counts.
The sceptics' chief concern is the damage higher US interest rates and a strong dollar – the consequences of the Fed's monetary tightening – could do to the finances of emerging nations.
Many developing countries are reliant on foreign investment to fund persistently high current account deficits. When US rates and the dollar head north, these economies find it harder to service their debts; they also struggle to prevent international investors from shifting capital elsewhere.
Inflation can be a headache, too. By increasing the cost of imports, a stronger dollar usually gives rise to inflationary pressures, making life uncomfortable for central banks.
This year's sell-offs in Argentina's peso and Turkey's lira – countries with some of the largest current account deficits in emerging markets – speak to the naysayers' fears. The peso and lira are down 32 per cent and 21 per cent respectively since the start of 2018 [2].
Making a bad situation worse, the pessimists say, is that corporate finances are barely any healthier. Since the US turned on the monetary taps in 2009, companies in the emerging world have taken full advantage of low interest rates, increasing their borrowing as percentage of GDP from about 80 per cent in 2013 to 101 per cent at the start of 2018.
With the bulk of those loans and bonds denominated in US dollars, the Fed's tightening of the monetary reins threatens to make it harder for the private sector to pay back its debts, too.
Systemic risks contained
But it's important not to overstate these risks.
To begin with, Argentina and Turkey aren't representative; they're emerging market outliers that have been punished for several mis-steps, not least the undermining of central bank independence.
The current account positions of developing economies more generally have in fact improved considerably since 2013. In aggregate, emerging markets' current account surplus has grown from 0.1 per cent to 0.8 per cent of GDP over that time. Even among emerging countries with deficits, the gap has narrowed to 1.7 per cent of GDP compared to almost 4 per cent during the taper tantrum.
The notion that emerging market companies are awash with debt doesn't hold up to scrutiny, either. True, Chinese firms have been big borrowers, but strip them out of the analysis, and the picture isn't quite so unsettling: company debt as a proportion of GDP in emerging markets drops from over 100 per cent to just 48 per cent, a mere 3 percentage points above where it was five years ago. That compares to 72 per cent for the US, 100 per cent for the euro zone and 103 per cent for Japan.
A favourable comparsion: emerging market debt levels remain below those of developed world
Debt as a proportion of GDP, %
Corporate borrowing up but rising at slower pace
Also encouraging is that borrowing is moderating across the developing world, China included. The credit gap – or the difference between the current and trend rate of private debt growth measured as a proportion of GDP – has been falling across all major economies. In China, the differential has dropped from a peak of 27 per cent of GDP to 17 per cent. In Brazil, India, Russia and India, the gap has actually turned negative.
What's more, the proportion of "risky" corporate loans and bonds in the developing world (ex-China) is lower than it was during the 2008 financial crisis, according to a study by the Fed [3].
In part, that's because many of the firms issuing dollar-denominated bonds are exporters whose revenue is predominantly denominated in foreign currency. For these companies, when the greenback rises, the resulting increase in debt costs is offset by the extra revenue earned overseas.
China obscures debt picture
Debt, % of GDP, emerging markets
What's also been overlooked during this recent bout of turbulence is that increases in US interest rates aren't necessarily bad news for emerging market assets or currencies.
As long as the Fed is tightening monetary policy in response to faster growth, the economic spill-over to the developing world should be positive. An analysis undertaken by Barclays bears this out. The bank found that in every US hiking cycle since the mid-1990s, emerging market currencies and bonds have tended to outperform developed world counterparts [4]. The same picture emerges in our own study.
Of course, should the world descend into an all-out trade war, then all economies – developed and emerging – could suffer. But if, as we believe, the tariff disputes lead to improvements in how the world trading system functions, as the outcome to recent talks between the US and EU suggests, then the strong fundamentals of emerging markets should come to the fore.

Many of our favorite coffees come from Kenya. Many of those coffees come from Nyeri County in the Central Province of Kenya. The acidic loam soil, plant genetics and processing interact in unimaginable ways that when grown, processed, roasted and prepared properly, create a cup that is at once balanced and extreme. Elegant and powerful.
A classic Nyeri profile, this 2017 AA lot from Gatomboya possess heightened sweetness and acidity. The fruited qualities are reminiscent of fresh raspberry and blackcurrant (a tasting note fairly unique to Kenyan coffees), underpinned by a plush nougat-like quality.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Drug stocks sagged Friday while shares of Amgen Inc. rose on an upgrade from J.P. Morgan Chase.
The Amex Pharmaceutical Index $DRG eased 0.9% to 244.05 as the Amex Biotechnology Index $BTK fell 0.6% to 663.05. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJII) retracted 1.2%, or 92 points, to 7,832.
Amgen AMGN, +0.15% shares were up 2% at $52.50 after J.P. Morgan raised its rating of the stock to overweight, citing the upcoming release of Phase III clinical data for Amgen's oncology product denosumab.
"Although Amgen's revenue growth hit a trough in 2008, up 1.6%, denosumab data was the driver of share performance," wrote J.P. Morgan analyst Geoffrey Meacham, in his note.
"Looking forward, we expect stability in Amgen's core franchises with denosumab driving revenue growth of 9.5% in 2012. Hence, data from several denosumab oncology trials in the second half 2009 are leading indicators of revenue re-acceleration and should again be critical to Amgen performance in 2009," Meacham added. J.P. Morgan set the stock's price target at $65 a share.
Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY, +0.79% and Pfizer Inc. PFE, +0.68% were the sharpest U.S. pharmaceutical decliners, with shares down about 2%.
European issues were hit harder. Bayer AG BAYRY, -0.26%, Novartis AG NVS, +0.47%, Novo Nordisk A/S NVO, -0.58%, GlaxoSmithKline PLC GSK, +0.66%, Shire Ltd. SHPGY, Sanofi-Aventis SNY, -0.11% and Elan Corp. ELN, +0.00% all were down 2% or more.
On the small-cap side, Osiris Therapeutics OSIR shares tumbled 24% to $13.90.
The stem-cell researcher said early Friday that it has discontinued enrollment in a Phase III clinical trial for its therapy Prochymal in the treatment of Crohn's disease due to a suspected flaw in the trial's design. More specifically, Osiris said the trial's initial results showed an unusually-high positive-response rate from patients taking a placebo.
Osiris added it plans to use the data to help design additional trials for Crohn's disease. Prochymal is being co-developed with Genzyme Corp. GENZ.
Shares of Genzyme were up marginally at $59.31.

I often roam the beach collecting any gifts that the sea has to offer. Shells pounded and carved into endless varieties of curves and swirls, wood sanded and silver with age, glass smoothed and shaped anew - all of these things are my treasures.
Back in the studio with my finds, I experiment with different arrangements. There will be a special one that inspires me to get my sketchbook. From there, the artwork takes on a life of its own, growing and changing as it travels from small sketch to full size creation.
I find joy in my finished pieces and hope that they bring the viewer the same sense of serenity that they evoke in me!

UPDATED September 1, 2018
On February 2, 2018 we reported:
A survey of the US Military was conducted a few years ago. A staggering 25% of the enlisted members of the US Armed Forces stated they would fire on American citizens on American soil.
The "JADE" In Jade Helm 15 Is An A.I. SOFTWARE Program
RISE OF THE MACHINE "JADE" is an A.I. quantum computing technology that produces holographic battlefield simulations and has the ability to use vast amounts of data being collected on the human domain to generate human terrain systems in geographic population centric locations to identify and eliminate targets, insurgents, rebels or whatever labels that can be flagged as targets in a Global Information Grid for Network Centric Warfare environments.
The JADE II battle field system is cognitive and intuitive. It can examine prior executed battle plans and and devise 'new and better' strategies to increase the 'kill chain'. The II generation of JADE has the capability for two way communication with drones through the OCCOM technology which is one of the next generation integrations to this system. In short, JADE HELM will not be battles directed by Generals and Military Commanders, but by a computer. It is a cognitive software program based on a Network Centric Warfare System at the HELM.

The Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency put out a broad agency announcement (scrubbed) this week seeking software solutions to help small drones fly better in tight enclosed environments. The Fast Lightweight Autonomy program, the agency said, "focuses on creating a new class of algorithms to enable small, unmanned aerial vehicles to quickly navigate a labyrinth of rooms, stairways and corridors or other obstacle-filled environments without a remote pilot."
The solicitation doesn't focus on new drone designs so much as helping very small drones — able to fit through an open window and fly at 45 miles per hour — navigate tight and chaotic indoor spaces without having to communicate with operators, get GPS directions, or receive data from external sensors. All the thinking, steering and landing would be in the drone.
