Why Are You Looking For Jesus? John 6:22-51 Amen Statements • V26 - “I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” • V32 - “I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” • V47 - “I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life.” Where Are We? Where Are We? • Jesus had just feed 5,000 men with 2 fish and 5 loaves • They ate as much as they wanted • There were 12 baskets left over • The people there wanted to make Jesus king - by force if necessary • The disciples get into a boat to travel across the lake and encounter trouble • Jesus walks on the water and rescues them Where Are We? • The crowd looks for Jesus the next day. • They don’t find him where they left him so they go on looking for him. • Notice not one of them invited Jesus to stay with them • They are confused as to how Jesus got there. Jesus Addresses The Crowd • You are looking for me because you had your belly filled • These people were not interested in spiritual things • They wanted physical change • Jesus’ word are sharp criticism • Why are you looking for Jesus? Do Not Work For Food That Spoils • What work had these people done to receive food from Jesus? • What is food that spoils? • Physical bread • Physical needs • What does “do not work” mean? • Where is your treasure? Matthew 6:21 Work for Food That Won’t Spoil • What is food that won’t spoil? • Spiritual truth • They marveled at the miracle instead of the miracle maker • The people’s response shows us their heart condition • They basically respond - Just tell us what to do Jesus so that we can get what we want The Bread of Life • The work of God is believing in Jesus • Jesus uses the physical necessity of bread to make a spiritual truth. • Just as physical life requires food so Spiritual life requires “eating” the Bread of Life • IN NO WAY IS THIS LITERALLY EATING FLESH AND BLOOD • This is Jesus explaining that his death would be the food that gives eternal life • We’ve talked about Kingdom First • We’ve talked about a sacrifice being required • Today our application is: Why are you looking for Jesus? • Is he your Savior and King or is he the simply the filler of your belly?.

Unit 5: Understanding and Resolving Guest Problems
Unit 5: Understanding and Resolving Guest Problems Project Hotel T.E.A.C.H Curriculum Center for Immigrant Education and Training (ACE) LaGuardia Community College Hotel TEACH Lesson Plan Unit 5, Lesson 1 Career Counseling: Listening with Empathy Objectives Sts will learn to resolve problems and listen empathetically for improved customer service. EFF Skill Sets addressed Cooperate with Others: Try to adjust one’s actions to take into the account the needs of others and/or the task to be accomplished. Industry Skill Sets addressed Resolve Guest Problems Exceed Customer Expectations Activity 1: Empathy Skills T introduces another important component of active listening: empathy. T asks the Sts to define “empathy.” As Sts call out answers, T leads responses towards the following definition and writes it on the board. Empathy is the ability to recognize and understand the emotions, beliefs, moods and desires of another person. Empathy is often characterized as the ability to “put oneself into another’s shoes.” T elicits from Sts the reasons why it would be important for hotel workers to have empathy. Some examples might be as follows: 1. Listening empathetically makes people feel as if they are truly being heard and that their needs will be taken care of. 2. Listening with empathy gives guests a positive experience of the hotel and of you as a worker. Guests will always remember the worker who truly listened and cared about their problem, as opposed to the worker who offers a quick solution. 3. When you acknowledge how people are feeling, you reassure them that they are understood.

A Snapshot of Oakland Corner Stores: Availability of Healthy Foods in Oakland’S Low-Income Neighborhoods
A Snapshot of Oakland Corner Stores: Availability of Healthy Foods in Oakland’s Low-Income Neighborhoods Xenia Shih Bion University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health | Public Health Nutrition 1 ABSTRACT Objective: Availability of healthy foods is limited in many low-income urban settings. One reason may be the overabundance of corner stores and lack of supermarkets in these areas. The objective of this study was to examine the availability of healthy foods in corner stores located in the low-income neighborhoods of Oakland, CA. Methods: Staff members and trained community volunteers from an Oakland-based community organization conducted a survey of corner stores located mostly in East and West Oakland. In 2013, data were collected from a convenience sample of 78 corner stores. I calculated descriptive statistics from the survey results and investigated the associations between corner store characteristics and the availability of fresh produce. Among the corner stores that stocked fresh produce, I also investigated the associations between corner store characteristics and the quality of produce sold. Results: The majority of the corner store employees said there was a community demand for healthy food, but only 42.4% of the stores stocked fresh produce. Among the stores that stocked fresh produce, the quality of the produce sold was high. Corner store employees’ perceptions of whether or not their stores stocked healthy food was significantly associated with the availability of fresh produce (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Efforts to improve the food environment in corner stores located in low- income urban settings should focus more on increasing availability of fresh produce than increasing the quality.

PAPER CLIMA Versione Eurogusto Edited
Climate Change and the Food System Position Paper ........................................................................................................................................................................... Introduction Through this position paper, Slow Food seeks to address the intersection between the food system and climate change and to describe possible pathways for tackling the climate crisis through the adoption of environmentally-friendly practices along all stages of the food supply chain, following a “seed to landfill” trajectory. We will begin by framing the relationship between food and climate. This will provide a brief overview of the key issues and present statistical evidence in order to gain a better grasp of the problems. We will then explain why Slow Food is engaging in the climate debate. The first section will thus provide an introduction to Slow Food’s guiding principles and the organization’s involvement with environmental issues. We will then turn to the core section of the briefing paper by outlining a general “Slow Food approach” to tackle the climate-unfriendly consequences of food production and consumption. For each issue, a conclusive section, “Slow Food in action”, will describe existing good practices being implemented by Slow Food. 1. Food and climate 1.1 What food system are we talking about? The modern, industrialized agri-food model that has asserted itself over the last 50 years or so may have brought benefits in terms of increased productivity, but its impact on the environment has been devastating: pollution, soil erosion, scarred landscapes, reduced energy resources and an overall loss of diversity, both biological and cultural1. Under this model, agricultural production has assumed the characteristics of the industrial sector, taking a new shape, which can be referred to as agro-industry or agribusiness.

Copyrighted Material
c01.qxd 11/20/04 3:39 PM Page 11 PART ONE Art and Culture: Use Only as Directed Copyright and trademark law is an important tool in incubating new cre- ativity and building a culture. By giving creators a property right in their works, the law stimulates the development of all sorts of new works. What is not appreciated as much is how overly broad copyright and trademark laws can sabotage creative production. Artists necessarily must draw upon works of the past.They also must be able to modify and trans- form prior works and collaborate and share with fellow artists. Since copyrights and trademarks are essentially monopoly rights, the question thus becomes: How far should intellectual property protection extend? What is the proper balance? As the stories of Part One illustrate, the intended balance of copyright and trademark law has gotten seriously out of whack. The chief propo- nents of broader, longer, and stricter forms of protection are the various “content industries” that produce music, film, photographs, literature, journalism, and entertainment. They like broad legal protection for their works because it makes those works more valuable. Owning the copy- right on, say, a Beatles tune for an extra twenty years could easily be worth a fortune. Broader protection also privileges commodified works over “nonmarket”COPYRIGHTED creativity such as folk traditions,MATERIAL public dialogue, art, scholarship, and the works of online communities. It is a complicated business drawing the lines of protection properly. But the following stories show that appropriate limits for copyright and trademark protection have been transgressed time and again.

Bone also writes that Americans spend only thirty minutes cooking dinner, compared with 2½ hours in the 1960s. And in his book Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser claims that one-quarter of Americans eat in a fast-food restaurant each day (3). Why are Americans eating so much fast food? The answer is simple: speed is more important than quality. While Americans may be attracted to food that is fast and easy, they are missing the benefits of slowing down. In fact, Americans’ obsession with Zhang states a clear thesis at the fast food is hurting not only their health but also the quality of end of the opening their lives. paragraph. The main reason that Americans are getting takeout food and heating prepared meals is obvious: they don’t have enough time.

The Muse of Fire: Liberty and War Songs As a Source of American History
3 7^ A'£?/</ THE MUSE OF FIRE: LIBERTY AND WAR SONGS AS A SOURCE OF AMERICAN HISTORY DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Kent Adam Bowman, B.A., M.A Denton, Texas August, 1984 Bowman, Kent Adam, The Muse of Fire; Liberty and War Songs as a Source of American History. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1984, 337 pp., bibliography, 135 titles. The development of American liberty and war songs from a few themes during the pre-Revolutionary period to a distinct form of American popular music in the Civil War period reflects the growth of many aspects of American culture and thought. This study therefore treats as historical documents the songs published in newspapers, broadsides, and songbooks during the period from 1765 to 1865. Chapter One briefly summarizes the development of American popular music before 1765 and provides other introductory material. Chapter Two examines the origin and development of the first liberty-song themes in the period from 1765 to 1775. Chapters Three and Four cover songs written during the American Revolution. Chapter Three describes battle songs, emphasizing the use of humor, and Chapter Four examines the figures treated in the war song. Chapter Five covers the War of 1812, concentrating on the naval song, and describes the first use of dialect in the American war song. Chapter Six covers the Mexican War (1846-1848) and includes discussion of the aggressive American attitude toward the war as evidenced in song.
