People of various political stripes in many countries (particularly those countries where various political stripes are allowed) have been arguing about the Vietnam War for a long time. The participants in these debates were (and are) always quick to assign blame in what seems to be an endless attempt to justify “their side” and vilify “the other side.” In this context, Max Hastings' new book Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy, 1945-1975 (HarperCollins, 2018) comes as something of a relief, for he essentially says that all the “sides” in the war made a moral mess of things. According to Hastings, the North Vietnamese, the South Vietnamese, the French, and the Americans were all guilty as sin of cynically starting, ruthlessly fighting, and stubbornly continuing a conflict that was, if not “unnecessary,” at least not worth it for any of them.

Cyclone Gabrielle hammered Hawke's Bay on Tuesday. In Hastings dozens of Tongan RSE workers were rescued after being stranded on the roof of their accommodation for most of the day. Some were even floating on mattresses. Tevita Lata is the co-ordinator for the group of 50 fruit pickers who are employed by Mr Apple.

In lessons 8-11 of podcast 47 on the Ten Commandments we focus on Exod. 20:8-11 or commandment #4 in the Jewish and Protestant list of the Ten Commandments and #3 of the Catholic list.  The commandment is to keep the Sabbath, the 7th day of the week, holy.  In Hebrew to be holy is to be separate or set aside as special.  The commandment is NOT to rest but to make it HOLY.  Matter of fact the Hebrew word for Sabbath is שַׁבָּת Shabbat and it has a conceptual meaning of ceasing, to desist, to stop work for a period of time.  It does not mean taking a nap, laying around in your backyard drinking iced tea, or picking up a book and reading and relaxing.  Many Christians have no idea of the Hebrew and think they can pick their own day to rest and have a break from work.  I agree.  If you want a day off from work and your boss approves, go ahead.  But the 7th day is defined by God and HIS Shabbat (Gen. 2:2-3  and Lev. 23:3), His day where WE cease and desist and do other things to make HIS Shabbat holy.  The better idea is to stop one's normal weekly activity and to lay it aside and to do “work” that makes the Sabbath holy.  Thus, if one rests all day, if one sleeps for most of the Sabbath, one probably is not doing what needs to be done to make this day HOLY, special, set aside as unique.  In lesson 8 we will study the Shabbat and consider some basic ideas.  One idea is that where did this 7 day week come from?  Must've come from somewhere right?  Some say the Jews stole the 7 day week from the Babylonians.  Consider this. BABYLON AND THE 7 DAY WEEK Counting from the new moon, the Babylonians celebrated every seventh day as a "holy-day", also called an "evil-day" (meaning "unsuitable" for prohibited activities). The lunation of 29 or 30 days basically contained three seven-day weeks, and a final week of eight or nine days inclusive, breaking the continuous seven-day cycle. But, the Sabbath week has nothing to do with the moon.  If the Jews stole it from the Babylonians every full moon of every month would be a Sabbath; for us it'd be a Saturday.  Sorry, it just doesn't work.  (Pinches, T.G. (1919). "Sabbath (Babylonian)". In Hastings, James (ed.). Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics. Selbie, John A., contrib. Charles Scribner's Sons) Among other theories of Shabbat origin, the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia of Isaac Landman advanced a theory of Assyriologists like Friedrich Delitzsch that Shabbat originally arose from the lunar cycle, containing four weeks ending in Sabbath, plus one or two additional unreckoned days per month. The difficulties of this theory include reconciling the differences between an unbroken week and a lunar week, and explaining the absence of texts naming the lunar week as Shabbat in any language.  In other words there is no primary sources that in anyway support such a view.  (Sampey, John Richard (1915). "Sabbath: Critical Theories". In Orr, James (ed.). The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia.) Also, what might be some reasons to keep the Sabbath?  Oh I know.  It means going to church. Nope.  The Sabbath is HOLY time: a 24 hour period that God set aside as His.  How do we participate in HOLY time?  So, get ready.  You are in for an amazing “ride” to hear God, to hear The Very Words Of God, and join with HIM to make this 24 hours special and awesome.

On Wednesday Pak'nSave in Hastings had the cheapest price for tomatoes the country has seen in 10 years, now they've been beaten out by an Auckland supermarket.A light-hearted war has erupted over the country's cheapest tomatoes with Pak'nSave Royal Oak now going one better.On Wednesday alone the Hastings branch sold two tonnes of tomatoes at just 9 cents a kilo.This morning, Pak'nSave Royal Oak has bettered their colleagues from the east coast by offering Auckland shoppers tomatoes for just 8 cents a kilo.Royal Oak Pak'nSave has placed a 3kg limit per customer (24 cents in value), available while stocks last.Customers on social media labelled the deal "crazy" and "jaw-dropping", but one said "we need to look after our farmers and pay them a fair price".In Hastings, dozens of people could be seen leaving the supermarket around lunchtime with two big bags full of tomatoes each, including some who hadn't purchased anything else.Store manager Julian Gibbs said Pak'nSave put a limit of 10kg on individual purchases to be able to offer the one-day only sale of the four tonnes of tomatoes to as many customers as possible.It's rare for tomatoes to drop this low in price.Tomatoes NZ general manager Helen Barnes said generally supermarket tomato prices only occasionally went below $2kg."I think the last time we heard of anything like that was about 10 years ago when we couldn't export to Australia because of a pest in the growing industry."They wouldn't be making any money at that price."She said prices had been good but there is an oversupply of stock towards the end of the season because of the lack of exports in the coronavirus crisis.Rival Countdown had tomatoes advertised online around $3kg, and with the Hastings Pak'nSave bargain around for just the one day, with limits on supply per customer, there wasn't expected to be any price war, the most notable of which happened when Countdown first appeared in Hawke's Bay more than 30 years ago, prior to the arrival of Pak'nSave.Countdown's offer on bread and packets of 10 sausages for about $1 at that time sparked an across-town frenzy that Napier paper and Hawke's Bay Today predecessor the Daily Telegraph dubbed "The Mother of all Bread Wars" - with supermarkets dropping the bread price to 5c a loaf and supplies barely baked and delivered before filling the trolleys heading back out the door.

Horticulturalists say they won't be able to harvest crops, unless they can find about 60,000 people to fill jobs normally done by international workers. Covid-19 restrictions means those workers can't come in easily. In the Hawke's Bay, where growers say about 70-percent of apples are picked by foreigners, some fear their businesses will fall apart as a result. In Hastings yesterday, Labour's finance spokesperson, Grant Robertson, touted the kiwifruit industry's solution - it used anyone from airline pilots to office workers to plug gaps. While Yummy Fruit's general manager Paul Paynter appreciated Robertson's visit and willingness to do something He told RNZ Hawke's Bay reporter Tom Kitchin he isn't sure if the government has the right solution.
