Don't Give Up!
Heb 10:35-36
So don't lose your confidence, it will bring you a great reward. You need endurance so that after you have done what God wants you to do, you can receive what he has promised.
Psalm 27:13
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
I am reminded of a story about Florence Chadwick, the first woman to swim the English Channel. She swam both to and from England. It took a total of 29 hours and 42 minutes between the two trips. With that accomplishment, Chadwick attempted to swim the distance from the California coast to Catalina Island, a distance of around 26 miles. The waters were about 48 degrees and during her swim a thick fog rolled in. A half mile from Catalina Island, she became discouraged and quit. When reporters questioned her the next day, they asked whether it had been the length of the swim or the cold water that had beaten her. She replied that it had been neither, "I was licked by the fog."
Chadwick explained that when she had been swimming the English Channel, a similar fog has arisen. She had gotten discouraged, and reached for her father, who was in a boat at her side. He stood and pointed in the direction she was swimming. She raised her head above the fog, and saw the shoreline in the distance. With this renewed vision, she was able to finish her swim across the Channel.
God realizes that we need visions, dreams and goals to motivate us to keep going forward, no matter what we face. Without them, we lose heart and die inside…little by little as revealed in Proverbs 29:18. "Where there is no vision, the people perish."
It is more important that we view failure with the right perspective. We are going to fail. It is more important how we respond to failure then the failure, itself. We are to learn from failure. One of my favorite quotes is one by Nelson Mandela; "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling (failing), but in rising every time we fall (fail).
Michael Jordon was quoted as follows; I have missed more than 9,000 shots and lost almost 300 games. Also, 26 times I have been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. Yet, Michael Jordon is one of the most successful basketball players ever.
Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb, stated, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Each failure moved him closer to success as it eliminated what would not work. It was a lot like my experience with the lights.
One of the hardest things for me to do is summed up by Winston Churchill, "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. It is so hard to keep a positive attitude in the midst of failure. None of us like to fail. We are judged based upon our performance. We are applauded when we win. We are paid when we are successful in our jobs.
As Elbert Hubbard shared, "There is no failure except in no longer trying"!
I remember lyrics to a song I used to sing; "Don't give up, try again….this time you can make it!" Another song that I wrote included this line; "Though at times I stumble, I will not fall…..you're a God that carries me through it all." It was a determination to persevere, no matter what. I remember having to put my focus upon the Lord so many times as I didn't have the strength to go on and He would give me strength to do all things that I needed to do. He gave me courage to go on. My attitude would be changed to focus upon the good things…..to refocus upon the goals…..to carry on!
"All my successes have been built upon my failures", Benjamin Disraeli wisely comments. Our failures make us wiser…..they give us experience and history. They mature us and complete us so that we are more ready when success comes.
Being in the car business for many years, I learned that each "no" just moves us closer to a "yes". Why? It is the law of averages. Let's say a good salesperson sells 30% of the people they talk to, but has just gotten 10 no's in a row. The law of averages would lead us to conclude that it would be possible to sell 6 of the next 10 customers. The percentages would be more accurate as the number of customers increase.
We need to forget our past mistakes and failures by putting them behind us and moving forward. We are able to do this as we understand that God desires it. He forgives and forgets, so why shouldn't we. Like Paul, we need to keep "trying" to reach all our goals.....going forward…..pushing toward those things ahead. The things that have been placed in our hearts will come to pass. God has placed them there for a purpose. There are many things that have been in our heart for a long time. Some of them have come to pass, others haven't…but, I know they will happen in the future as we keep moving forward with God's direction. It is like Christmas… I know it is coming. There is something under the tree for me, but I have to wait (at least until Christmas Eve) to unwrap it.
Romans 8:25
But we are hoping for something we do not have yet, and we are waiting for it patiently.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
We lose heart….we tire….we
get exhausted when we don't see our expectations become reality as quickly as
we believe they should. We need to
continually have faith something great is going to happen or eventually we will
find ourselves depressed and under the circumstances. Let's continually remind ourselves that God desires
the best for us. He wants to see us get
to the land of the living. That is where
we see the goodness of the Lord and our dreams, visions and desires come true! You are too close to stop. Don't give up now. This time you will make it…if you keep trying!
Continuing to believe the best in you,

Supply Chain Compliance
US Importers
According to the FDA FSMA regulations importers are responsible for actions that include:
- Determining known or reasonably foreseeable hazards with each food they import;
- Evaluating the risk posed by a food, based on the hazard analysis, and the foreign supplier's performance (for every food and every supplier);
- Using that evaluation of the risk posed by an imported food and the supplier's performance to approve suppliers and determine appropriate supplier verification activities;
- Conducting supplier verification activities;
- Conducting corrective actions.
Importers must establish and follow written procedures to ensure that they import foods only from foreign suppliers approved based on an evaluation of the risk posed by the imported food and the supplier's performance or, when necessary on a temporary basis, from unapproved suppliers whose foods are subjected to adequate verification activities before being imported.
Importers are required to develop, maintain and follow an FSVP (a Foreign Supplier Verification Programme) for each food brought into the United States and the foreign supplier of that food. If the importer obtains a certain food from a few different suppliers, a separate FSVP would be required for each of those suppliers.
The evaluation of the risk posed by the imported food and the supplier's performance must be reevaluated at least every three years, or when new information comes to light about a potential hazard or the foreign supplier's performance.
Importers are not required to evaluate the food and supplier or conduct supplier verification activities if they receive adequate assurances that a subsequent entity in the distribution chain, such as the importer's customer, is processing the food for food safety in accordance with applicable requirements. Importers must also disclose in documents accompanying the food that the food is not processed to control the identified hazard.
Learn more about the FSVP from our FAQs and courses
Exporters to the US
If your company exports food to the US, you should very likely meet the FDA FSMA Requirements. FSMA is the new US regulation for preventive control of human and animal food. It is intended to ensure the safe manufacturing, processing, packaging and holding of food products for human and animal consumption in the United States. FSMA gives FDA (the US Food and Drug Administration) a full range of new powers to prevent food safety problems, detect and respond to food safety issues, and improve the safety of imported foods.
As an exporter of food to the US you are supposed to meet the same requirements as US domestic companies.
Lucrima's team is providing a variety of compliance services that you can integrate to suit your needs in reaching compliance with the new FDA regulations and continue your exports to the US uninterruptedly.
- Learn about the FSMA regulations and what they practically mean to the exporters to the US by reading our FAQs
- Get certified as a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI)
- Be provided with the knowledge you need to develop/adapt your food safety management system to meet the new and enhanced FDA requirements.
- Improve your ability to speak the same food safety language as FDA does.
- Will be given insights on what your importers in the US are supposed to do to verify that the products you supply to them meet FDA requirements.
- Take advantage of the knowledge and hands-on experience of our team /link/ who can take you by the hand in solving all your FSMA compliance challenges, be them system implementation, product verification or legal compliance. Contact one of our experts now
- Get ahead of your competitors by taking a proactive approach to meeting the regulation requirements and keeping your customers and importers in the US relaxed and assured about your FSMA compliance.

|Vol. LXX, No. 24
|Dr. Santa Tumminia Dr. Regina G. Ziegler Dr. Griffin Rodgers Dr. Manuel Manny Datiles III Dr. Okihide Hikosaka Dr. Patricia Flatley BrennanDr. Judith Vaitukaitis
Tumminia Named NEI Deputy Director
Dr. Santa Tumminia was appointed deputy director of the National Eye Institute on Nov. 12.
"Dr. Tumminia brings to the deputy post a deep understanding of vision research and a wealth of experience managing science programs at the national level," said NEI director Dr. Paul Sieving. "The NEI has already benefitted greatly from her steadfast dedication to supporting the highest quality science."
Tumminia earned her Ph.D. in biology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In 1991, she joined NEI as a senior staff fellow in the Laboratory of Mechanisms of Ocular Diseases. She then spent 5 years with the Foundation Fighting Blindness, the largest private funding source for retinal degeneration research, where she oversaw a $12 million vision research grant portfolio.
After returning to NIH in 2003, she served as a special assistant to the NEI director and was promoted in 2013 to associate director for science strategic initiatives and programs. She provides ongoing oversight of key NEI biomedical initiatives such as eyeGENE, a pioneering public-private genomic medicine initiative that ties advances in ophthalmic disease gene identification and disease phenotype to clinical care.
A long-time mentor to NIH staff in administrative, scientific and clinical careers, Tumminia was honored with an NIH Director's Award for mentorship in 2018. She also served on numerous trans-NIH committees, including the NIH-wide strategic plan working group.
Ziegler Retires from NCI
Dr. Regina G. Ziegler retired in October after nearly 40 years of service to the National Cancer Institute. She is widely recognized for her expertise in nutritional epidemiology, incorporating circulating biomarkers into epidemiologic studies and facilitating the development of assays needed by cancer epidemiologists.
Ziegler received a B.A. from Swarthmore College, a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of California at Berkeley and an M.P.H. from Harvard School of Public Health. After graduate school, she taught international nutrition and global food resources courses at Yale, Harvard and Tufts universities. She joined NCI in 1979, was tenured in 1987, and has served most recently as a senior investigator in the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Program.
Throughout her career, Ziegler's research has focused broadly on dietary, nutritional, anthropometric and hormonal determinants of cancer risk. Her early work helped characterize the role of vegetables and fruits, individual carotenoids, folate and one-carbon metabolism in cancer etiology. In addition, she has conducted a number of breast cancer studies with emphasis on anthropometry, diet and endogenous hormones and growth factors.
For example, she helped design and direct a large, population-based case-control study of breast cancer in Asian-American women to elucidate the modifiable exposures, related to lifestyle and/or environment, that explained the 6-fold difference in breast cancer incidence between Asia and the West. More recently, she collaboratively developed an international pooled analysis of circulating vitamin D concentrations in relation to risk of colorectal and breast cancer.
Ziegler has applied her training in chemistry and biochemistry to the development of new and improved methods for measuring various hormones and nutrients in epidemiologic studies. Recently, she played a critical role in the successful development of a sensitive assay for assessment of estrogen metabolites and a validated assay for concurrent measurement of the major steroid hormones.
Ziegler is a fellow of the American Society for Nutrition and helped establish its nutritional epidemiology research interest section. She currently serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and the Nutrition Action Healthletter and previously served on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the Journal of Nutrition and Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention. She received an NIH Merit Award for her research on the role of vegetables, fruits and micronutrients in the etiology of a variety of cancers.NIDDK Director Honored for Commitment to Health Equity
Dr. Griffin Rodgers, director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, received the 2018 Herbert W. Nickens Award in November from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
Named in honor of the late Dr. Herbert W. Nickens, founder and past vice president of AAMC's diversity policy and programs unit, the award was established by the AAMC to continue advancing Nickens' concerns about the educational, societal and health care needs of minorities. Rodgers received the honor for his record of encouraging health equity, while also creating opportunities for underrepresented minorities within the biomedical workforce.
Among his other accomplishments, Rodgers collaborated in developing the first FDA-approved treatment for sickle cell disease. He also hosts NIDDK's Healthy Moments, a radio program airing health messages on more than 50 stations across the country. Now in its 10th year, Healthy Moments reaches more than 60 million people annually.
"Everyone deserves access to quality medical care and the opportunity to live a long, healthy life," Rodgers said. "Health equity doesn't just apply to people with diseases. It's also important to have diversity in health care providers and researchers. I accept this honor on behalf of the entire NIDDK family, as the institute joins me in working toward health equity for all."—January PayneNEIs Datiles Retires
Senior investigator and medical officer Dr. Manuel "Manny" Datiles III of NEI retired in September. Institute staff recently gathered to celebrate his career and wish him well in his next phase of life.
"It is not what you have that counts; it is what you do with what you have that counts!" said Datiles.
He first came to NEI in 1979 as a research fellow in the Laboratory of Vision Research after his ophthalmology training. In the lab, he worked with the late Dr. Jin Kinoshita to demonstrate that aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI) drugs could prevent cataracts in animal models. ARIs are now used to prevent cataracts in diabetic dogs. He also co-discovered a novel lens protein in guinea pigs, the zeta-crystallin, with NEI protein chemist Dr. Sam Zigler.
He left for eye surgical training at Johns Hopkins Hospital and returned to NEI to become the primary cornea and lens clinical investigator at the institute. In his nearly 40-year career at NEI, he worked to find the causes and find possible cures for blinding cataracts.
As NEI's anterior segment surgeon and later as part of the institute's consult services section, he established cataract and corneal surgery at NEI and performed hundreds of eye surgeries under various NIH protocols.
In collaboration with NASA physicist Rafat Ansari, Datiles co-developed a special clinical device based on a quasi-elastic light-scattering technique and used it to show that oxidation-caused loss of a lens protein, alpha-crystallin, a molecular chaperone, leads to the formation of human age-related cataracts. This finding will help hasten the development of non-surgical anti-cataract drug treatment.
Datiles also helped care for hundreds of NCI and NHLBI cancer patients who received stem cell transplants. He led a clinical trial of blood serum eye drops for patients who developed severe dry eye as a consequence of therapy.
Datiles published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and received awards from the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Johns Hopkins University, NEI, NIH, HHS and the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.
Datiles plans to continue working at NEI as a special volunteer and NIH IRB member, teach at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where he is an adjunct associate professor, and dedicate more time to church, family, music and the arts.NEIs Hikosaka Receives Neuroscience Prize
Dr. Okihide Hikosaka, senior investigator in the Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research at the National Eye Institute, is a recipient of the 2018 Gruber Prize in Neuroscience. The prize is awarded each year by the Gruber Foundation to a scientist or scientists whose work has significantly impacted the neuroscience field. The prize was presented at a ceremony on Nov. 4 during the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
Since first arriving at NIH in 1979 as a postdoctoral fellow, Hikosaka has studied how evolutionarily ancient regions of the brain known as the basal ganglia process visual information. His research has revealed how the basal ganglia control eye movements (saccades). More recently, his work has focused on how neuronal pathways in the basal ganglia encode long-term memories about emotional values of visual objects.
Hikosaka shares this year's prize with Dr. Ann Graybiel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Dr. Wolfram Schultz, University of Cambridge, who have also made seminal discoveries about the structure and function of the basal ganglia.NLM Director Brennan Honored
NLM director Dr. Patricia Flatley Brennan was presented the 2018 Morris F. Collen Award of Excellence on Nov. 4 at the American Medical Informatics Association's 2018 annual symposium in San Francisco.
In honor of Morris F. Collen, a pioneer in the field of medical informatics, the award is considered the highest honor in informatics. The recipient is chosen by the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI), an elected body of fellows within AMIA, the leading association for informatics professionals.
"ACMI is honored to recognize Dr. Brennan for her significant accomplishments," said ACMI president Dr. Christopher Chute. "We are grateful for her leadership at the National Library of Medicine and her commitment to AMIA's mission."
AMIA cited Brennan's ability to use technology to improve the safety and effectiveness of health service delivery systems; her impact on development of technologies for in-home management of chronic illness, including heart disease and AIDS; her leadership in ensuring federal requirements that electronic health records systems safely and effectively include patient-generated and patient-sourced data; and her ongoing efforts at NLM to emphasize data science as a key component in informatics.
Dr. Douglas Fridsma, AMIA president and CEO, said, "Patti is a true pioneer. Her expertise is known throughout informatics and nursing, but what everyone should remember her for is her core mission to always put patients first. There is truly no one more deserving of this prestigious award."

Collingwood Spotlights
He was born on April 29th 1899; and grew up listening to father James playing operatic arias, and his mother Daisy playing parlor songs. Duke Ellington started playing the piano at the age of 7…who knew the magic that would unfold.
In the 1920's, Duke rose to stardom. He was an aristocratic maestro, pianist and songwriter. His passion was the orchestra where he created tapestries of bluesy textures, lowdown swing and solo instrumental voices that could growl, cry or wail. He performed at The Cotton Club, Broadway to Hollywood. It was the origins of Big Band Jazz with songs like "It Don't Mean a Thing, Take The A Train to Satin Doll. Duke Ellington composed thousands of scores in a career spanning over half a century.
Take a listen to this week's Spotlight:

Finnish working culture and customs 15 employee works in Finland for over six months, the employee must pay taxes in Finland, excluding those in rented labour. If a foreign employee stays in Finland for a maximum of six months and is employed by a Finnish company (or the employer has a fixed office in Finland), tax at source at a rate of 35 percent is withheld in Finland. Additional information www.vero.fi/en-US/Individuals/Arriving_in_Finland Before starting work, employees coming to the Hanhikivi 1 nuclear power plant construction site must have a tax number entered into the public tax number register. Before receiving a tax number, a foreign employee must obtain a Finnish personal identity code, which requires a personal visit either to the register office or tax office. Primary assistance for workers coming to Finland is provided by the local Employment and Economic Development Office. Reliability and schedules • Schedules are strictly adhered to. • If you are late to an agreed meeting with someone, let them know in advance. • There is a saying: Time is money. • People can find it insulting if you are late. Initiative • Taking the initiative means that when you notice something that needs doing, you either take care of it yourself or you let your supervisor know. • After finishing one task, you start another, or you let your supervisor know that you are ready. Frankness • In Finland, people tend to speak directly and keep it short. • If you have too little time to perform a task, you can make it known. • In Finland, you can be asked for things directly. You can be told to "Take this!" • In Finland, we don't use phrases such as "you're welcome", "thank you" or "sorry" as often as elsewhere. Don't be offended if others don't use them. You can use them yourself, as it is always polite. • You can also state your opinion directly. Equality • Equality is important in Finland. The same pay is received for the same work or work of equal value. • Employment of women and men is equally common in Finland. • Finnish law forbids all discrimination in the workplace. • All employees must be treated equally. • In Finland, the status and power of individuals is not necessarily evident from their appearance. • Generally, employees and supervisors are on first-name terms with each other. • Everyone is entitled to their opinion. • Employees can often plan the order and method of their work. • People can dress casually at the workplace. In services and industry, employees usually wear working clothes provided by the employer. Team work • In Finland, work is often done in groups or teams. The group can plan their work independently: What is done each week, how the work is distributed and which tools are used. Modesty • Finnish people value modesty. • They are unlikely to boast about themselves or their family. • Let them know what you can do and prove it at work.

If you are creating a Website or Blog template, you can define how the content of your pages should be organized without using tables.
Put the cursor in the content area of the Page. This should activate the Edit tab on the ribbon bar. Select one of the content layouts from the gallery, or create your own custom layout.
This sample template uses the following custom layout:
If you have a Website or Blog project, there are new options for controlling how the Vertical Menu behaves.
You can visualize this better if you create at least two pages, with subitems (e.g. child pages under each).One Level means there is only 1 level to the menu; the subitems in the menu are never displayed.
Navigate on Click - When you click on the main item, the menu is expanded and the page is loaded. e.g. clicking on Page 1 expands the menu and loads Page 1 in the browser:
Expand on Click - This is similar to Navigate on Click except the page is not loaded in the browser. e.g. clicking on Page 2 expands the menu but does not load Page 2 in the browser.
Also, you can expand or collapse the menu by clicking on the main item.
Expand on Hover - Same as Expand on Click except you only need to move the mouse over the main item to expand the menu. That is, you can switch between menus just by moving the mouse.
Popup on Hover - Same as Expand on Hover except the subitems are displayed as a popup.
All Open - the vertical menu is displayed with all of the submenus expanded.

It's so easy to judge what you don't understand. I think previous generations find it acceptable to compare their memories with our realities. I have a problem when people try to define the millions of individuals in four or five words, especially when these words are negative. Technically a "millennial" is a person who comes of age in the new millennium, essentially anyone born from 1980 through the 1990's. Currently, upwards of 80 million millennials live in the United States, but they face constant criticism. You can ask almost anyone and you will find a stereotype that goes with the word millennial.
"No generation has been as publicly reviled, praised, misunderstood, and analyzed as the Millennials," said Shama Hyder, a Forbes contributor. Millennials are also known as Generation Y. The generations that have gone before us feel free to label us as narcissistic, lazy, uncultured, entitled and that we have no appreciation for the hard work of previous generations. I agree that we cannot fully understand what previous generations have endured. In the same way, older generations cannot understand what it's like to grow up in a world that is changing so rapidly, politically and technologically— that if you rest for just a moment, you are left behind.
Honestly, how does one even begin to go about stereotyping upwards of 80 million people? Within this generation, so many different types of people and personalities exist, all of which come from diverse backgrounds, different opportunities, relationships and lives. Why is it that older generations feel entitled to stereotype all of us, let alone in a negative way? Being a millennial, this stereotype from our elders is immensely frustrating. Not only because I am one, but because it is completely false.
The assumption that millennials are lazy and entitled is completely untrue. Data compiled by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, a psychology professor at Clark University, shows that millennial rated "contribute to society," "correct inequalities" and "be a leader in the community" higher than baby boomers did when they were our age. As an individual, I am constantly busy working at my job, studying for classes, or getting involved in philanthropy through my sorority. The people I am surrounded by (other millennials) are just as involved and hard working as myself, if not more involved and proactive.
In a study done by the White House, it was found that more millennials have college degrees than any other generation of young adults. Millennials were also found more likely to attend graduate school than generations before them. As college students, we know that education is key as we are headed into one of the most competitive eras in history. A college education has become so expensive and few people graduate without debt, having paid for the exorbitant fees that come with a diploma that is quickly becoming the minimum requirement. Most of us have to work jobs in our free time just to get by. Whereas participating in extracurricular activities, internships, volunteer work, leadership and maintaining a high GPA used to be going "above and beyond," it has now become the bare minimum to land a decent job. Millennials are living through this, and yet somehow we are constantly dodging criticism from generations who think we have it easy.
As for a narcissistic culture, I understand the argument. I have seen a jump in self-involvement among people my age. However, while an older generation finds it easy to judge us as self absorbed, the truth is that technology has left us feeling enormously isolated and lonely. We are running like mad to keep up with normal. As technology advances and we are able to share and absorb tons of information amongst social platforms, it's no wonder we are more involved and focused on ourselves. That being said, we are also creating more, sharing more ideas and helping others through these supposed "negative" platforms. Because of our introspection, we have higher expectations for who we are as people, and the future we plan to create. Every year millennials create more and more ambitious goals than previous generations.
There seems to be such a lack of compassion for Generation Y. Every generation before us has done exactly what we are doing – creating trends, embracing new technology and taking advantage of what previous generations have provided for us. While I understand our generation may have some generalized weaknesses, to categorize our entire age group in a negative way is destructive, dishonest and unhelpful.

Fefe Dobson is a Canadian solo pop/rock singer/songwriter from Sarborough, Ontario, born Felicia Dobson on February 28, 1985. Dobson, who is mixed, was signed early on by Jive Records who wanted to develop her as a pop/R&B singer because of her race. But, she wanted to be a rock musician, so she refused. She cites Kurt Cobain, Jeff Buckley, Coldplay, and The Hives as influences, and listens to the Ramones, The Sex Pistols and My Chemical Romance! Eventually, she signed with Island/Def Jam and her successful self-titled debut was released in 2003, when she was 18. In 2006, Dobson finished recording her second album, Sunday Love, but, Island/Def Jam dropped her soon after, and the disc was shelved. It was eventually released digitally in 2012. Dobson started to work on her third album, Joy, on her own, but, was later re-signed by Island/Def Jam, who released the album in 2010, after nearly four years. Fefe Dobson, to date, has released three albums, ten singles (all with videos), and her songs have been used in numerous films, TV series, ads, promos, etc, as well as covered by other artists. Dobson has also made several appearances in film and on TV, including appearing and performing as Tina Turner on the short-lived NBC TV series, American Dreams (2002-05). Finally, on August 6, 2013, "Legacy", the first single from her upcoming fourth album was released.
Fefe Dobson (2003), with its catchy pop/rock and sometimes punky pop, is a cool response to the misguided intentions of Jive Records. Three singles were released: "Bye Bye Boyfriend", "Take Me Away" and "Everything". A non-album fourth single, "Don't Go (Girls and Boys)", was released in 2004, featured in a Tommy Hilfiger commercial starring Dobson, and included on later editions of the release. The singles, and "Kiss Me Fool", are pop/rockers, but the album is a fairly eclectic mix. "Stupid Little Love Song" is pop/punk, "Unforgiven" is darker alternative rock, "Give It Up" is rapcore-ish, and "Rock It Till You Drop It" (featuring rapper Tone Lōc) is dance rock. But, my favorite tracks are the Counting Crows-ish "Revolution Song" and the Beatles-esque (or Oasis-esque, depending on your perspective) piano ballad "8 x 10". The cool non-album track, "If You Walk Away", was featured on the soundtrack to the 2004 movie Raising Helen.
Fefe Dobson's second studio to be released, Joy (2010), took almost four years to complete, and her exhaustive frustration is obvious in the album's cover art. Two digital singles preceeded the release: "Watch Me Move" (co-written with Andrea Wasse of The Weekend) and "I Want You" (whose riff is a nod to The Who's "My Generation"). Both songs are excellent Vines-inspired garage rockers. The latter was over-used in all of the trailers for actress Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It (2009). Three official singles were also released: "Ghost", "Stuttering" and "Can't Breathe" (featuring Orianthi on guitar). "Stuttering", Dobson's most popular song, is very R&B-ish. Some even argue that Dobson sounds a little like Rhianna, or vice versa, but the debate is pointless since Fefe Dobson, despite more dance beats on Joy, is a rock chick and Rhianna is an R&B diva. Other cool tracks include the '70s-ish rocker "I'm A Lady" (also co-written by Andrea Wasse), the soulful near-country ballad "In Your Touch", and the bouncy '60s-esque title track. "I Made Out With Your Boyfriend", an iTunes bonus track, is another Vines-inspired garage rocker, and "Rockstar", another bonus track, is a P!nk-esque dance rocker.

My husband David and I had the pleasure to captured a beautiful engagement session of Jessica and Jun in Los Angeles at the historic William Mulholland Memorial Fountain. Jessica and I met many years ago through mutual friends, and this is where I met Jun as well. These two have always been each other's best friends, they are sweet as it can be, and successful in their own terms. We are very excited for their upcoming wedding in November. Congratulations Jessica + Jun!! We wish you the very best! Thank for allowing us to capture your special milestones. Please enjoy some great photos through the Janice Owen Photography experience. Cheers! Here's Jessica and Jun's love story in their own words. Enjoy!
1) Briefly, how did you two meet? We worked in the same building, 1st Fl right across from each other. We ran into each other in the elevator and Jun introduced himself to me and continued from there.
2) Jessica and Jun: What are your favorite hobbies? ----- Working out, outdoor activities with the family like hiking, going to amusement parks, museums or just hanging at home with the whole family over some good food.
3) What characteristics do you like about one another? ----- His always very outspoken and can alway entertain a crowd and of course always keeps me laughing (very important). She's fun, outgoing and realistic.
4) How do you envision for your future together as soon to be married couple? ---- We feel that much our relationship won't change we've leaved together for 5 yrs and have been together a total of 7yrs. We do see ourselves in a new home with a new future project to work on that we have in mind.
5) Anything else you would like to share, you're welcome to. ---- We believe a relationship can keep two people together if you respect, trust and keep good communication with each other..

JS Tip 55: From the Teambuilding Workshops: The Importance of the One
We're moved by literary references this week, especially the calls to respect one another:
In Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, Linda Loman grieves for her husband:
I don't say he's a great man. Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. . . . Attention, attention must be finally paid to such a person. (Act 1, Part 8)
In Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg, Chief Justice Dan Haywood closes the war-crimes trial with this admonition:
Let it be known that this is what we believe: In truth, in justice, and in the value of a single human being. (United Artists, 1961)
In his book, From the Kingdom of Memory: Reminiscences, Elie Wiesel counsels us, "The opposite of love is not hate but indifference." George Bernard Shaw has similar counsel:
The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity. (The Devil's Disciple)
So what are we saying here?
Engage. Be positive. Look for the good. Recognize people. Say "Hi" in the hallway. Tell your waitress you enjoyed her attention to detail. Tell the sprinkler-repair guy you appreciated his work.
Build a community.

The Real Last Blog
Final Final Blog
February 29, 2016
Hi All,
We thought we were finished with our blogs from Mexico, but then we realized there were a few more item we should tell you about.
We realized that we didn't say much about the serious problem of marginalization of the Mayan people here in the Yucatan Peninsula. And it has been going on since the Conquistadors from Spain arrived in the early 1,500's and it continues until today. This is similar to what happened and still happens in the United States with Native Americans, and in other countries with indigenous populations.
What is this marginalization? It is economic, educational, health, in fact, all of the important aspects of life. Mayan people are excluded from all of this. In the villages, the government doctors do not speak Mayan. There are few, if any Mayan teachers. Government programs like vitamins for children and pregnant women which are given all over the country, somehow bypasses the Mayan villages. When the government gave out more than 2,000,000 TV sets because the TV system has changed, and requires special antennas, the Mayan villages, if a few people did manage to get a TV, didn't get an antenna, and they can't afford to buy one.
Many young people who want to go to a university, can't afford to go. The scholarships don't provide enough. The courses offered near the Mayan villages only prepare the students to work in the big resort cities like Cancun or Playa del Carmen, rather than offer courses which would permit them to return and work in the villages, in order for these students to help the villages and the residents become more independent, financially and otherwise.
In short, neither government nor the society as a whole seems to care about these Mayan people.
Thus, groups like this one we work with are doing a good job. Helping develop income generating activities that are highly successful now and operating independently. Helping small farms – milpas – produce more and better. And many of the milpas produce enough to sell their excess, and even supply local primary schools with food.
Merida, where we have been staying has an abundance of parks and activities: concerts, dances, some blocked streets on Friday nights, Saturday mornings, and all day Sunday in the Centro. We have enjoyed all of these activities. Plus, it is very safe.
But, it is time to go home, so bye bye.

Blog 4 Mexico
Last Blog from Yucatan, Merida, Mexico
February 22, 2016
Saludos Todos! Greetings All!
This is our last week here volunteering with HST in Merida, and it's a good time to write our final blog.
Here, everyone calls me Don Pedro. Pedro, the Spanish for Peter, and Don, a respectful term for someone older. I said older, not old! Hahahaha. And for Hinda, it is just Hinda, and you know she is younger than I am.
Our friend Margo visited us for about 10 days. She went to a Spanish language school for 5 days while we went to work, and then we spent the afternoons and evenings together. She just left yesterday. It was a nice visit for all of us.
Merida is a very safe place in Mexico. We never felt unsafe for even a moment. One of the jokes about why it is safe is that the families of the Narco's live here, and so they don't want any trouble here. True or false? Who knows?
Merida has a very nice folk art museum which we visited last weekend. We bought two small very nice pieces. One a maraca with a feather – a bit unusual, and a very nice hand painted gourd from the state of Guerera. You will see it when you visit us again back at home.
Here in the tropics, there are so many wonderful fruits and vegetables. It is so easy to grow things here. One of the fruits we discovered is a cross between an orange and a lemon, very sweet, and not too juicy. It is called a China Lima "cheena leema". Mmmmmm good. The Cheena here is an orange good for juice and very sweet. In fact, we squeeze fresh juice at home every morning.
Last Thursday, both of us with the Director of HST met with the Consul General of the United States here in Merida. It was a fruitful and good meeting and he hosted us in his office for over an hour. We talked about the things that HST is doing. He has agreed to visit one of the Mayan villages for a full day in the next week or so, and his Public Affairs Aide will liaise with Susana who we work with in the office. He has only been here for 6 months, and we think that we are one of the first local organizations to meet with him. One of the things we talked about is linking the primary school his children go to with a primary school in one of the villages since each of them have garden projects. We are hoping the relationship will grow. It is good to have a friend in a US Consulate or Embassy.
A few more things from work:
- I have been mentoring Susana daily who among other things does some fundraising and she is taking it all in. For me, it is one of the most important things I do wherever I volunteer,
- Hinda spent a fair amount of time planning and conducting office staff meetings; writing policies and procedures; job descriptions; editing grant applications.
- The vitamins we helped to arrange from Vitamin Angels arrived and Susana and I along with the HST Nutritionist arranged a distribution system. The initial shipment is for children from 5 – 11 months to be followed by vitamins for pregnant and lactating mothers, deworming pills, and then older children.
- Helped HST to apply to Microsoft for free software and licenses.
- Trying to get a fabric supplier to donate fabric to HST for the
Village sewing workshops but don't know if there will be enough time left to do it. If not, they can do it on their own. Hopefully less need for us now after these two months.
We spent this last weekend in Tulum, an archeological site and resort with white sandy beaches on the Caribbean, our first time swimming there. The water was warm and the sun hot. We got more tanned. The ruins at Tulum were interesting and situated on a cliff above the ocean. We stayed in a small palapa just a couple of hundred feet from the beach. Peter rose early every morning to photograph the sunrise. Hinda stayed in bed as long as she could.
So, that's it for now. We leave here in 10 days and while we enjoyed being here, we always enjoy going back home to family and friends.
We will go to New York for a week in June and tentatively to Turkey, Israel, and Jordan in August, and for Peter, back to Kenya to finish his big project which he has been working on since 2009.
Hasta luego!

Blog 3 Merida, Yucatan, Mexico
Blog 3
Merida, Yucatan, Mexico
February 8, 2016
Hi Friends and Family Throughout the World!!
We wanted to bring you up to date on what we have been up to here in Merida, Mexico.
The weather has changed dramatically. From the mid to high 90's to the mid 70's. F. And the nights are cool, even cold. Hope it lasts, but who knows. In the meantime, it is very pleasant for us, but for the locals, it is cold and people are wearing jackets and sweaters and closing windows, while we go around with a smile opening windows. One of the interesting things we have found in Merida is that there are old street signs on many of the old buildings in the city which were put up many years ago when most people were illiterate. They are pictures, no words, i.e. an elephant for Elephant street.
Yesterday we had a "pool party potluck" for our office colleagues. It turned out well – the weather was good, but too cool for swimming, and the food and ambiance, but mostly the talk was fun. All had a good time including us.
We spent a great weekend in a city about 2.5 hours by bus from here. Campeche. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Campeche is on the Gulf of Mexico. It is about 500 years old, and the old part of the city is within the original city walls. There is a "malecon"- a walk along the ocean with a lot of fresh seafood restaurants where we ate our best meal yet here in Mexico. We had a red snapper cooked in banana leaves beneath the coals of a fire pit with local spices. Mmmmmmm good!! We had such a good time and liked it so much we are going to take Margo there on Feb 20.
Just about an hour out of Campeche is a well preserved Mayan ruins which we visited in the cool (relatively) of the last Sunday morning we were there. Not many people there yet, so it was really a nice visit to Edznas. My, those Mayans built very high steps. Either they were very tall – don't think so, or ?????
The hotel we stayed in was originally a military barracks built in 1800 and the original structure is still used. It was turned into a hotel in 1901, and so the floor and wall tiles are from that period. We were only 2 blocks from the malecon.
We went to visit some of the villages that HST works with. We were most excited to go back to visit the village of Muchucuxcah which we first visited in 2007 along with about 20 others from our temple to do some volunteer work helping to build an eco-tourism site.
Well, we are pleased to say that we received a warm and gracious welcome from some of those people we first met there in 2007, including a man whose name is Primitivo and his family. We ate again in his home. And although the temperature was very very hot, we had a great lunch of chicken soup. Primitivo's son, Wilen who we also met in 07 is now married with a baby son and you will see him in the photo accompanying this blog.
The eco – tourism site now has a big beautiful swimming pool, electricity, fans, and mosquito nets in the palapas.
We traveled through several villages where we were impressed with HST's work including several first class sewing workshops which are now operating on a financially independent basis and making clothes for villagers, the police, school uniforms, etc,
The same with a carpentry shop which was started by HST and local people were trained and are working and selling their wares – all high quality.
We visited a school which is a middle school in the morning and a high school in the afternoon. HST sends people out to the schools to teach the kids about growing vegetables, soil conservation, etc.
In another village we saw a fish pond for tilapia – some of which are used as food by the families and some are cooked and sold.One of the things we saw in the village for the first time, is meeting some featherless chickens. We had never seen them before and thought they might be sick but the woman who owned them laughed at us and told us she just didn't have enough money to buy them clothes. These chickens actually are not supposed to have feathers.
All in all, a very long and productive visit. HST has done and is doing a good job helping people in the village learn to become financially independent while still retaining their Mayan culture.
Speaking of Mayan culture, all of the people who live in the villages and their children speak Maya as their first language, and Spanish as their second, although not all speak Spanish. However there are only one or two teachers who speak Maya, and not a single doctor! Sound familiar to some of you? Yes, to us also.
We are excited to tell you that the international NGO, Vitamin Angels, accepted our application which we helped with, and starting the end of this week will be sending much needed vitamins to children and pregnant and lactating mothers to all of the villages in the states of Yucatan and Campeche that HST works with. We are really proud. And they also want us to identify other local NGO's that they can help.
Our weekly staff meetings mostly created by Hinda are already having an impact, and people are coming together in the office to discuss, plan, decide, implement, etc. Agenda items are suggested ahead of time, and people are interested and very participatory in the meeting. We just hope it keeps up after we leave, but much of the stuff we have done elsewhere has continued, so why not here too?
We have been taking busses as we go away for weekends and find them very modern and comfortable. Air Conditioned, bathrooms, TV's with soap operas or bad movies blasting, etc. But it is a comfortable and safe way to travel and we can read or just see the countryside.
Once again, we find everyone friendly and helpful. Mexico is a friendly place. We feel very safe and welcome by both friends and strangers. We are finding a lot of interesting food to eat, especially Yucatecan food, although often when we order it is by trial and error, or pointing at someone else's plate. We do eat very often in a small taqueria just a block from the office where we have made friends with the owner who tries to learn a new English word each time we come, and we a Spanish word. By the way, I, Peter am getting along fairly well in Spanish. Working for 3 years in Seattle in a Latino organization helped as well as my two years of high school Spanish, and even my working in the NYC Youth House with so many Puerto Rican kids many many years ago.
Well, seems like we have rambled on too much, so let's stop for now. We are waiting for our friend Margo from Seattle to join us for 10 days starting this coming Wednesday evening. Bienvenida a Merida Margo!!
Love and Hugs,
Hinda and Peter

In less than a decade the gold rushes transformed Melbourne from a rambling colonial service town to a metropolis with the confidence of a modern city. From 1853 to 1854 the number of buildings in Melbourne doubled.
In mid-1853 Antonio Gabrielli, a visiting businessman, raised a loan of £500,000 for the Melbourne Corporation to upgrade the city's rutted and muddy streets. By the middle of the decade gas pipelines had been laid in the city centre, a railway linked Melbourne with the post and an electric telegraph communicated with Williamstown, Geelong and Adelaide.
Talented young British architects like John James Clark, Peter Kerr and William Wilkinson Wardell, were drawn to Melbourne by the building boom, and created grand public buildings with an elegance of design equal to those in major European cities. The parliament buildings, Public Library, Old Customs House and Old Treasury are fine examples of existing buildings from the gold rush decade.
An exciting 360° view of Melbourne in 1962 is displayed in this vault. In 2014, this view is to be juxtaposed with similar images taken in 2012 to mark the 150th anniversary of this wonderful photographic record. The project can be seen here.

It's one of the world's best sellers and the brave, the foolish and the crazy from the Midlands again feature prominently in the latest edition.
The 2006 edition of Guinness World Records was published yesterday and, as usual, is a goldmine recording the bizarre and wacky antics of those determined to get their own little slice of immortality.
The Midland entries range from a tennis marathon to a window cleaning sprint and a Hollywood superstar.
The book is published in more than 100 countries and 23 languages. Its editor Craig Glenday - the former world record holder for the longest stretched Curly Wurly chocolate bar at 90cm - said there has never been a shortage of people wanting to make or break a world record.
"People tell us it is a dream they have had since childhood. On a shallow level it is just about seeing their name in the book," he said.
"But I think it runs a bit deeper than that. It is a fundamental thing about the human condition, people want to push themselves further, the need to strive, struggle - it is why people cross seas and climb mountains.
"People who are not Olympic athletes can still get recognition by setting their own goals."
He said the UK-based Guinness World Records office receives about 1,000 claims a week, with about 95 per cent rejected because they are not able to fulfil basic criteria.
Tennis coach Butch Heffernan, was able to do just that when he broke the record for the longest tennis coaching marathon, with a 52-hour lesson in Brierley Hill, Dudley.
Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre was the location for the fastest male window cleaner, with Terry Burrows cleaning three standard 45in by 45in framed office windows, in 9.24 seconds on March 2, 2005.
Other Guinness World Records held in the Midlands include film star Will Smith's greatest number of public appearances in different cities.
On February 22, 2005, Will took 12 hours to walk the red carpet, sign autographs and introduce his film Hitch at cinemas in Birmingham, Manchester and London.
In 2000, an event organised by Vital/Max Power Live 2000 saw 18 women cramming into a Mini Cooper outside Birmingham's National Indoor Arena to claim the 'most people crammed into a Mini' record while Anderton Park School in Moseley saw the world's fastest henna artist complete 214 henna armband tattoos on March 24.
The Midland Youth Orchestra holds the record for the longest concert performed by an orchestra, for its 12-hour performance at Aston University on January 29, 2000.
And former paratrooper and Guinness book regular Paddy Doyle from Solihull has held the most one-arm push-ups since 1996.

Aquarius 2019
(January 21st - February 19th) - Utilizing Skills and Expertise
Jupiter, the great planet of luck, will form a positive sextile aspect through 12/2/2019. It will continuously send good opportunities your way to enrich and improve your life. Sometimes you really can make progress without too much effort. However, in the long term it's better to rely on your own skills and utilize them whenever possible. After 12/2, Jupiter will be forming only a semi-sextile aspect. It will no longer be sending such generous gifts, and you will have to make do with smaller favors. After all, a small gift is better than no gift at all! Saturn, the great teacher, will be in a semi-sextile aspect throughout the entire year, so you won't have to deal with any major obstacles. Of course it might demand hard work from you sometimes, but after all this is only for your own good. From the standpoint of these two key planets - Jupiter and Saturn - it's going to be a positive year!

Bingham boys golfers place fourth in state tournament
Nov 03, 2017 11:30AM
● By Josh McFadden
For some high school sports, the fall season hasn't even gotten to the state tournament yet. But the boys golf season is already in the books, and the Bingham Miners were right in the thick of things during the two-day 6A state tournament, Oct. 2 and 3 at Valley View Golf Course in Layton.
After a successful regular season, the Miners performed well at state, finishing fourth among all teams. The Miners shot a 605, five strokes behind third-place Weber and 14 behind fellow Region 4 school Lone Peak. Davis won the tournament by shooting 580.
"We were really excited to place fourth in state," said head coach James Applegate. "We had a goal of placing in the top five. I enjoy watching my team set and achieve goals. I enjoy hanging out with them."
Each state-qualifying team sent six players to the tournament. Bingham's participants were freshman Jordan Bingham, sophomore Garrett Bland, senior Ethan Fowlks, senior Tristan Fuller, senior Nick Anderson and senior Noah Kirby. Bingham and Fuller had the best individual scores for the Miners, both shooting a 154. Fowlks shot a 155, followed by Anderson's 156, Bland's 157 and 166 from Kirby.
Bingham was in fifth place after the first day and moved up a spot after a solid day two. The Miners were consistent throughout the tournament, shooting 301 and 304, respectively.
Aside from a good finish at state, Applegate enjoyed the camaraderie the team members showed as well as the positive attitude each golfer displayed on and off the course.
"I like the diversity of this group," he said. "I enjoy watching kids of all backgrounds and experiences come together as a team."
Applegate will have to replace Fowlks, Fuller, Anderson and Kirby. They led this year's senior class and have improved every year. When they were sophomores, the Miners didn't qualify for state. Last year, Bingham tied for sixth at state. Their hard work and perseverance paid off, as they led the team to a solid finish.
The Miners have firepower coming back next year, and Applegate has high expectations for 2018 and his team's ability to continue the school's tradition of excellent golf.
"I feel we're going to be strong again," he said. "I have two returning state players, and I have a good group of golfers returning. If this group works hard, I don't see any reason why they will not have success."

It's easy to think that people in their twenties have it easy. They can bounce back from hard workouts, they have lots of free time, and they haven't started families yet. No stress, right?
Then you talk to Tyler Curtis.
The engineer, who graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in 2014, is balancing a joyful, two-month old baby, an assistant coaching position at the School of Mines, a full-time restaurant job, and a career search for a position where he can utilize his degree.
Oh, and he runs a lot.
Curtis, who has a 10K PR of 31:56 has come a long way from the track, where he was a successful distance runner and steeplechaser. While he's speedy enough to still jump into track meets, the new dad is increasingly hitting the trails.
Last year, in his first year at the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship, he was fourth against a tough field and a lot of mud. This year, he won the La Sportiva Summer Solstice 10K, edging out Josiah Middaugh for the win. He was second in the La Sportiva Vail Hill Climb, won the La Sportiva Boneyard Boogie 11K, was second at the La Sportiva Berry Picker 5K, and won the La Sportiva Camp Hale Half Marathon by six minutes.
"It's definitely tough to fit it all in," admits Curtis. "In Colorado it starts to get dark at about 3pm, so I like to get up early and make my workout my priority."
While he can run sometimes run with the girls he coaches, his role as an assistant coach takes precedence.
"Sometimes I run with the girls on their tempo runs to set a pace," he says, "And sometimes I'm driving the van back down the mountain after a run with 1500 feet of elevation gain."
Curtis admits that he loves coaching and that it's something he wants to keep doing it in the future.
"One workout I love that's also a great strength workout is a split tempo run," says Curtis. "It will basically be two tempo segments with a short break in the middle and that's a great workout for getting high intensity in. Two by three miles is a great workout. You do three miles hard with a five minute rest, and then you go out and do it again and try to improve your time. Doing a split tempo allows you to go faster than just running six miles straight out, so you can build both strength and speed."
Another favorite workout is one Curtis calls Ks and quarters:
Run a 1000 meters at a solid pace, just shy of race pace with a short rest of 45 seconds. Then jump right into a really hard quarter on the track. The K and the quarter makes up a set. Jog a lap between each set and repeat four or five times.
"I like that one because it makes you shift gears and go fast when you're tired. At the end of that it can get really tough, but it will make you stronger."
