What a Difference a Volunteer Makes!
Area businesses and government agencies aren't the only organizations working to make Johnson City a great place for everyone; local nonprofits like the United Way are accomplishing great things every day.
According to Jerome Julian, President and CEO of the United Way of Washington County, the 17 human services agencies supported by the United Way together share over $1 million annually to improve the lives of people living here. "This really helps make our community a great place to live," says Julian. "It also relieves the tax burden on our citizens, as it keeps the government from being called on to take care of every need."
In addition to funding from generous corporations and personal donations, more than 450 volunteers stepped up to help serve those 17 organizations last year. So what does all that time, money, and effort amount to?
- 66,639 meals provided to the hungry, totaling $333,195
- 40,338 hours of care provided for seniors and disabled adults
- 32,179 snacks and 18,538 dinners provided to schoolchildren during after-school and evening programs
- 18,275 hours of personal support care provided to homebound clients
- 9,154 reassurance calls made to area seniors and the homebound
- 8,500 requests for assistance handled by phone and over the Internet
- 4,558 at-risk individuals taught to respond and recover from disasters or emergencies
- 2,101 hours of respite care provided for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- 2,200 patients provided with dental care visits totaling $549,095
- 1,500 children mentored and cared for
- 922 people provided with access to positive recreational therapy
- 300 pairs of shoes provided to children in need
- 200 families helped to find affordable housing
- 100 homeless individuals sheltered each day
- 75 homeless families with children given shelter and assistance
They say the best way to fall in love with someone new is to treat them as if you already love them. If you really want to fall in love with Johnson City, start by volunteering your time and money to make our wonderful community even better!

Kim loves to teach both men and women, but she has a few messages that God has given her specifically for women. Contact us if you'd like her to speak at your next event!
From hero to zero: How social media affects our self worth.
Ever experienced this scenario? You are feeling great about your life, your vacation, your family, your job... and then you see that one status update, or instagram photo - and everything changes. Suddenly your life isn't as bright as it was, and certainly isn't as perfect as the pictures that parade across your computer screen or smartphone. Join Kim as she takes a thoughtful and humorous look at the spreading epidemic of social media envy - and as she turns to the only place we can find our true value and worth: the Word of God.
You don't have to be Superwoman. You just need to be SUPERNATURAL.
Have you ever felt the pressure to be Superwoman? The reality is, juggling home, work and ministry life requires more than just a cape pulled from the playroom costume bin. This talk encourages women to embrace the partner they have been given in their life of faith: the Holy Spirit.
It's time to be brave and say YES!
Kim looks at the lives of two women that are at the opposite ends of the social spectrum, but who are both used in God's plan to deliver the people of Israel. Women will be walked through the amazing story of Deborah, the fourth judge mentioned in the book of Judges. They will also learn about Jael, a nomadic tent dweller that became God's chosen heroine in a story of courage and faith.
Taming the tongue
Using James 3, Kim talks about the troubles that our tongues can get us into. Anger, complaining, criticism, and negative words are just a few ways we can harm others or ourselves. Words are powerful, and Kim encourages women to use them to build up their families - while also giving tips on how to tame the tongue.
Postpartum Depression
Kim is a two time survivor of Postpartum Depression. After her recovery, she volunteered for several years as a Northern California coordinator for Postpartum Support International. She also began writing a book titled "I Just Had a Baby, So Why Do I Hate My Life?" Kim would be honored to speak to any group of women about postpartum depression. What it is, what it's not, and what to do if you think you or someone you love is struggling with it.

Dexcom G5 APPROVED by FDA!
Scott Benner
All text taken from the Dexcom press release that can be found in its entirety but this is the stuff you want to know. When you are finished reading this you can check out Dexcom's new G5 webpage.
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire
FDA Approves Dexcom G5® Mobile Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
Dexcom announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Dexcom G5® Mobile Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. With wireless Bluetooth® technology built into the device transmitter, the G5 Mobile CGM System is the first and only fully mobile CGM system approved by the FDA for both adults and children as young as 2 years of age that sends glucose data directly to a smartphone, freeing users from the need to carry a separate receiver. The new transmitter securely sends vital glucose information directly to an app on iOS-enabled devices for real-time diabetes management. Android applications will follow early next year. Like its predecessor, the G4 PLATINUM CGM with Share, users can also select up to five designated recipients, or "followers". These followers can remotely monitor a patient's glucose information and receive alert notifications from almost anywhere.
About the Dexcom U.S. G5 Mobile Launch
- The G5 Mobile system is anticipated to begin shipping in late September 2015.
- All purchasers of a G4 Platinum with Share system from August 1, 2015, until the G5 Mobile system is shipped, will be eligible to receive a no-cost upgrade to the G5 Mobile system.
- There will be a low cost cash upgrade to the G5 Mobile system for those patients who are still under warranty with their existing system.
"Obviously there are a lot of moving parts to our commercial launch plans given this sooner-than-expected approval, and the financial ramifications, such as inventory adjustments and revenue recognition policies are being evaluated and will be discussed in detail on the Q3-2015 earnings call in early November," remarked Sayer.
I'm working on getting you some G5 images, in the meantime check out the link below for my recent podcast conversation with Dexcom CEO Kevin Sayer... back soon.
Great news for the type diabetes community!
Added 8/25/15 10:36am: I got you three NEVER BEFORE seen Dexcom G5 images...
Added 8/26/16 11:53pm: I spoke with Dexcom EVP Steve Pacelli today. We talked about the G5 approval, launch and more.

Magnesium is considered to the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, notes the National Institutes of Health. Magnesium is commonly found in green, leafy vegetables and shouldn't cause an allergic reaction when you get it from foods. An allergic reaction may occur if you take magnesium supplements, according to Drugs.com. Before taking any supplement, talk with your doctor to make sure it's safe. An allergic reaction to magnesium supplements can be life-threatening.
Allergic Reaction
During an allergic reaction, your body mistakes magnesium as a harmful substance and therefore defends itself. The immune system begins to produce IgE antibodies that attack the mineral, notes MedlinePlus. The antibodies trigger mast cells throughout the body to produce histamine. Histamine helps the antibodies fight off the magnesium and at the same time causes inflammation in soft tissue throughout the body. This leads to the most common allergic reaction symptoms.
Common symptoms to magnesium supplements are rhinitis, digestive complications, skin rashes and asthma. Rhinitis symptoms include a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, watery eyes and throat irritation. You may experience nausea, vomiting, cramping, abdominal pain and diarrhea as a result of an allergy to magnesium. Your skin can become itchy, inflamed and irritated in the form of hives or eczema. Some people react with asthma symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest pain and wheezing.
Severe Symptoms
Magnesium can cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction, or anaphylaxis can cause swelling in the mouth, face, lips or tongue, black stool, mental confusion, dark urine, ringing in the ears, dizziness, severe stomach pain, vomiting, a sudden drop in blood pressure and appearing pale. A severe allergic reaction to magnesium can lead to death if not promptly treated. Call 911 or other emergency medical care if these symptoms develop.
A severe allergic reaction to magnesium may require an injection of epinephrine within the first 15 minutes to prevent further complications. Mild allergy symptoms, such as a skin rash or rhinitis, can be treated with an oral antihistamine and topical steroid lotions.
Prevention begins by talking with your doctor. Your doctor may recommend allergy testing. If you are diagnosed with an allergy to magnesium, your doctor may recommend a specific diet for you to follow. You should inform your family, friends and coworkers about your condition and wear a medical bracelet, in case of an emergency.

Traveling with kids, even if you're just going out to the store, has some parenting challenges, doesn't it? At home, my kids can have decent behavior, but in the car or plane, it all goes out the window. What's up with that?
I think this is true for three reasons:
First, most kids are creatures of habit, and they like their
. If you leave the comfort of your own home, it's a new situation that can invite some chaos. Have you noticed that some parents are reluctant to correct a child's behavior in public? Don't be one of those Like sharks smell blood, kids sense your lack of control and will attack. .
What you can do:Tell you children what the plan is. This also helps with
clean up time
getting out the door
without a lot of stress on either side. Be flexible and bail if you need to.
Second, the close proximity of the back seat, even if it's just for ten minutes, can create opportunity for sibling strife.
"Don't make me pull over!" Even I have said that on a bad day. In truth, if you have said that, you probably should have pulled over ten minutes ago. Make an "enforceable statement" and stick to it, like "we will drive again when I don't have to worry about noise in the back seat..." Yes, you are inconvenienced also when you just want to be done, but believe me, the remainder of the ride will be improved.
What you can do:Don't cram too much into one outing. Remember to be flexible and just go back home if your kids are hitting the wall. Also be sure to recognize good behavior when it's happening. A well placed "Honey, I really appreciate your cooperation—it makes it so much easier." Occasionally you might even give an unexpected treat by saying "we finished early because I didn't have to waste time handling problems with you guys—let's stop for ice cream!"
You could consider bribery (although this works less effectively than the occasional and unexpected reward). If you can stick to the arrangement, though, and allow your child to actually fail if they blow it, they'll know you're serious and it might work. This could be effective if you privately negotiate with the older sibling, who may have a higher degree of control over his or her actions. If your kids misbehave often on car trips, you could put an item on their
reward chart
.Lastly, can you believe how much stuff kids require?
Babies need diapers, extra clothes, toys and more. Kids need entertainment and tools to look presentable. It's a challenge to remember it all, let alone actually have it in the backseat when you're traveling with kids.
What you can do:Be prepared! Here's my checklist for car necessities:

What's better than a pair of trainers that are so cool, you can wear them to the gym AND the pub? Very little, as far as we're concerned. So it's no surprise that we're totally excited about the launch of adidas' new running trainers, the Energy Boost. Not only are they chic, they're SO comfy and have all the technical bells and whistles you'd expect from an adidas running shoe. But we're not the only ones who love them: singer Louisa Rose Allen – who you may know better by her stage name Foxes – loves them so much, she's teamed up with adidas for this gorg photoshoot just in time for the launch. So we chatted to her about all things fitness, fashion and health:
You're working with adidas on their new range of footwear – has fitness always been important to you?
"I've always been into being active, but when I'm on tour and I'm really busy I do need to make sure that I'm keeping myself at my best so I've got energy. [Being on tour] is really tiring and stressful and it really takes it out of you. For me, that's where I find exercise and keeping a healthy lifestyle important because it gives me energy."
What kind of exercise do you do?
"I really love running. There's a euphoric feeling that I don't really get from anything else. And I love yoga for calming. But on stage is where I exercise the most, because I'm running around and all sorts!"
How are fashion and fitness related for you?
"It's funny because I actually wear sportswear in everyday life, a lot of the adidas sportswear with vintage. I wear a lot of the classic adidas tracksuits too when I'm on long flights. So I'm generally always in [sports wear]!"
What do you do to stay healthy with such a hectic schedule?
"Sleep is really important, and eating as healthily as you can. And juices – I have a friend who comes on tour with me and she's really into juices and putting nutrients in them, like spirulina – I literally live off spirulina. It's so good for energy!"
So you're quite a healthy eater then?
"Well, I like my fair share of burgers! But I do try and eat healthily. I think its really important to have a good balance – you can't just forbid yourself of things."
What's an indulgence for you?
"Cake. I love cake. I literally love a big cake. This is hilarious – I'm working with adidas and I'm talking about cake! (laughs)"
What are some of your top beauty tips or buys?
"I don't really have a routine, I think drinking lots of water is good. I used to have really bad skin and I think [better] diet and exercise has helped. Moisturising all the time helps as well, and make sure you take your make up off. I love Max Factor False Eyelash Effect mascara – it's so good, I just pile it on! And I love Laura Mercier and a YSL Bronzing powder that's amazing – it makes it look like you've been on holiday for two weeks."
What else helps you feel and look your best?
"I like laughing as much as possible! I love laughs! (laughs) Laughing is really important and not taking everything too seriously. And surrounding yourself with things that aren't too stressful and not worrying too much is good. Stress is a bitch."
What does the word 'healthy' mean to you?
"I think healthy is being happy. Whatever you're eating and however you treat your body is how you're going to feel every day. Being good to yourself is being healthy, and giving your body what it needs when it's asking for it. I don't think we listen to our bodies enough. And getting as much exercise in as possible."
What's your favourite piece from the new adidas range?
"I love the Energy Boost trainers because they feel like you're running on clouds. I love the neon colours too. They've got a real great range of colours – you don't get that often in running shoes. This is something that adidas is doing that a lot of other brands aren't."

I'm not a novice at this- I've used active imagination techniques on my dreams long before I had a name for it. If you can learn to get out of your own way and let your unconscious mind break through it can be an amazing tool for any number of creative or problem-solving activities. (I was thrilled to discover that Jung was a big proponent of active imagination.)
So I've been a bit frustrated that I can't make any headway with these dreams. I can't quite explain why I can't. It's almost as if they're locked files.
You constantly hear all this talk about how malleable memory is and how we embellish it to the point of unrecognizability but I don't believe this at all. I think we tend to boil down our memories to essential bullet points and lose all kinds of interesting data that we need. The farther away we get from an event the more we bulletpoint it and discard the deets.
I've been struck by how I treat the most compelling memories of my childhood- again, my nightmares- as litanies and lock them into place. I know I had a lot of good dreams back when I was young but I seem to have flushed most of them.
The lack of plasticity I've discovered as to these nightmares not only leads me to wonder exactly what they are really about, it also leads me to question the agenda of these psychologists who are always telling us how our subconscious minds love to embroider everything.
Like the headshrinkers I don't trust fully memory either, but for different reasons. I do believe memory has a bias- it has a normality bias. And I think it's constantly dumping information, much more so than adding it. You really have to work at expanding it.
It's no surprise to me that the psychologists who are always trying to convince us that nothing bad or unusual ever happens to anyone- especially children- always seem to have intelligence connections or connections to, uh, even shadier characters.
I think there is an entire cottage industry for wonks to shame us out of our unpleasant or unusual memories or at least to keep our mouths shut about them. And these people are sent out there to make everyone feel like an idiot for considering any memory that doesn't fit state approval.
Of course, there are those who will bring up the old Satanic panics and the rest, but seriously, that was over three decades and grew out of hysteria whipped up largely thanks to Hollywood. So you'd think they'd stop playing that fiddle by now.
Knowing Mike Clelland has tuned me into the fact that there are still a lot of people who claim to have had what are commonly known as alien abduction experiences, people who talk to each other about them long after the culture has moved onto other topics.
I don't know these people so I can't judge the credibility of their own memories but at the same time I find the sleep paralysis excuse to be weak and the hypnogogia explanation to be absurd. If people are still talking about this without any possibility of notoriety or remuneration you do have to wonder what exactly they did experience.
If nothing else they should be commended for honoring their memories, wherever they actually come from.
The rationalist will say they are all victims of sleep paralysis but sleep paralysis is a symptom, not a cause, one which I find questionable. I don't doubt sleep paralysis exists, I just don't think it does what its proponents claim.
But could it be a medium for these encounters, implanted into the brain through technology that acts on the temporal lobe? After all, why would an advanced race need to do anything as crude as invade your bedroom when they could invade your mind?
Science is forever promising to unlock the secrets of the brain but maybe because it gave up on unlocking the secrets of the mind. Instead we're all being herded into this semiconscious liminal state by technology and the relentless pressures of today. We're being locked into our reptilian brains in which only the shortest of short-term memory is called for.
I think embracing and expanding memory is a radical act in a culture that is forever trying to erase the past. Embracing the wisdom of the dreaming mind is a radical act in a culture forever trying to annihilate the irrational.
Oh, you don't think so? See what kind of reaction those words get from your Facebook friends.
And by 'radical' I mean getting down to the root, getting to the heart of the problem. It's just a start, just a baby step. But it's a start down a road in avoiding the mass mental breakdown I feel is coming from being trapped in this hideous now, this dreamless, troubled sleep the Post-Modern is trapped within.
Memory and dream were once the very essence of life, back before we became slaves to our technology. I think we were smarter, stronger and wiser then. I think we need to reclaim that discarded essence of life because it's what makes us human. Otherwise we're just robots.
And inept robots at that.

Tracie and Walter D., Washington, US
After 18 months of failed attempts at conception, Tracie and her husband, Walter, decided to see a doctor. The initial tests showed that Walter's low sperm count was probably the cause of their difficulty. They were advised that IVF (with ICSI) was the most promising treatment.
Tracie did her homework. She read up on the procedure and realized it provided the best hope for the family she and Walter wanted so desperately. The problem? Money. "My doctor told me it is very costly and not usually covered by insurance," she says. "When I found out exactly how much money we were dealing with, my heart sank."
Tracie and Walter considered having infertility treatment locally. They did some investigating and found that their regional clinics achieved acceptable success rates but at a very high cost, especially for medications. In her local library, Tracie found a book titled Budgeting for Infertility. The book included a chapter about traveling abroad for IVF and listed the top ten countries. The write-up on Barbados Fertility Centre was positive, so Tracie sought more information and learned that the clinic is JCI accredited. Tracie was impressed by the credentials of the staff and their high success rates with male-factor infertility.
Despite their enthusiasm and thorough research, Tracie and Walter were nervous about spending a lot of money, and the risk of getting nothing in return. But after talking with Barbados Fertility Centre founders Dr. Skinner and Anna Hosford on the phone and corresponding via email, the couple grew more comfortable with the idea of medical travel and felt they knew what to expect from the clinic and the procedure. "We understood it doesn't always work the first time," Tracie adds.
Once in Barbados, all the couple's concerns soon vanished. "I thought the medical team was excellent," Tracie says. "They were very professional and well organized and also friendly. They had a way of making you feel relaxed. Communication was excellent." For Tracie and Walter, everything went perfectly. In addition, the vacation time served as more than a relaxing break from their busy lives. "I really appreciated being able to [have this treatment] in such a relaxed and beautiful atmosphere," Tracie says. "It really did help to alleviate much of the stress that came along with this whole fertility journey."
Tracie and Walter estimate that they saved US$7,000 on the IVF/ICSI procedure alone. Buying the drugs abroad was another major money-saver. Tracie's US doctors had given her an estimate of $4,000–6,000 for her medication. Instead, she arranged for most of her drugs to be delivered from a reputable international pharmacy at a cost of $1,500. "We did spend about $5,000 on airfare, accommodations, food, and lost income...but we also spent 17 days on the beautiful beaches of Barbados rather than sitting in traffic and doctors' waiting rooms!" says Tracie. "Even with all the travel expenses, we saved at least $6,000 and also got a Caribbean vacation." Even better, Tracie and Walter are now the proud parents of a healthy baby boy.

Before Leaving the Hospital: Get All the Paperwork
Impatient to be gone, and often suffering the woozy side effects of surgery and post-operative pharmaceuticals, patients too often find themselves back at home later, missing important documents that could have more easily been obtained on site. So before you hightail it out of your hospital or clinic, be sure that you have all of your important documents.
Generally, larger hospitals provide complete medical documentation as part of the standard exit procedure. However, some smaller clinics may rely more on verbal instructions, and they are less likely to build and maintain a dossier on your case.

Legends are full of enchanted swords, coats of unbreakable mail, arcane tomes, magical amulets, and countless other pieces of equipment. The right gear is essential to the success of every character's rise to glory. Characters will have many opportunities to acquire equipment from markets, smiths, or defeated monsters. There are four broad categories of equipment: weapons, armor, enchantments and items:
A boy gazes longingly at a sword hanging in a blacksmith's shop. A dwarven warrior reclaims a clan great axe from the hoard of a hobgoblin warlord. Characters who rely on melee attacks to defeat monsters purchase weapons to boost their attack roll. Weapons come in small, medium, and large sizes. Small weapons are favored by thieves and two weapon fighters. Large weapons hit hard, but take both hands to wield.
A thief creeps through the dark in silent, black leathers. A knight charges into battle armored head to toe in shining plate. Armor decreases your opponent's attack roll. In addition to shields, armor comes in light, medium, and heavy weights. Light armor is easy to move around in but provides little actual protection. Heavy armor provides a great deal of protection at the expense of the character's natural agility.
A lonely wizard stands above a table chanting arcane syllables and making complex motions over a rune carved blade. A shield of cold iron chased with holy scripture radiates divine favor. Enchantments can be placed on weapons and armor to make them more effective. An enchanted weapon adds dice to an attack that defeat normal armor. Enchanted armor gives AC dice that are are even effective against magic attacks.
A guttering torch provides the only illumination in the subterranean den of a cave troll. A warrior quaffs a potion of strength before his final, desperate battle with a dragon. Equipment that is not a weapon or armor falls under the items category. Mounts give characters a bonus to movement. Potions heal characters or provide dice to skill checks, Other items aid spell casting, give bonuses to escaping checks, and more.

When I saw this collection, first association was "Rebel rebel," a song by David Bowie! Rebelious love, and a red detailed collection by Ann Demeulemeester, was for sure an eye-catching during Paris fashion Week.
"Love is a colorful emotion for me. And we can say also I am black with love. But we blush and we become a bit red when we are in love, so there is all of that. I wanted to give something that was a bit shy—emotion, charming emotion."

He took his spot on the stage and followed the script perfectly, Barry Bonds fulfilling a role Major League Baseball — and, maybe, the rest of us — dreads and needs all at once. He's the bad guy.
New York
He took his spot on the stage and followed the script perfectly, Barry Bonds fulfilling a role Major League Baseball — and, maybe, the rest of us — dreads and needs all at once.
He's the bad guy.
In a sport that's featured ballooning ballplayers who look like pro wrestlers and has just about as much integrity these days, Bonds has become the big, bad villain.
The one everyone can point to in defining the steroids scandal while minimizing or flat-out dismissing all the other factors that have hurt the sport.
So, as he entered the country's biggest media market, Barry took to his role perfectly, strutting over to his locker at Shea Stadium at 4:37 p.m. yesterday.
He bounced along to a song playing over his headphones and you could easily picture him entering a wrestling ring to theme music now, the massive man whose every home run supposedly provides another headache as he marches toward a hallowed record he does not deserve.
About 10 minutes later — and after an e-mail from his own team had alerted the New York media this would be the only day Bonds would talk at Shea — a spokesman relayed a message after Bonds whispered in his ear.
"Barry is not going to speak today," the spokesman said.
A few minutes later, Bonds, somewhere between mock disgust and a smirk, muttered a "y'all need to get out of here" that was more attention-starved than arrogant.
And there you had it — baseball's villain, the poster child for all that is wrong with the sport.
Except he's not.
Because Bonds — as arrogant and obnoxious and tainted by the stench of steroids as he is — is just a symptom of the problem in baseball, not the cause.
Even if Major League Baseball will conveniently take the villain role Bonds gives them, the way the folks at the WWE do storylines of bad-guy wrestlers.
So Bud Selig can teeter on whether he will give credibility to Bonds' assault on Hank Aaron's record by wavering on whether he'll be there to see it.
Even though the commissioner of baseball turned a blind eye when steroids first infiltrated his sport and Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa reportedly sparked Bonds' eventual envy.
Even though just down the hall, in a media room where the general manager of the loveable Mets gave you one more subtle clue at just how dirty the sport has been — and how little anyone deeply involved in it cares to clean it up.
The big story was Bonds coming in, but of course the Mets have their own steroid cheat coming back after a 50-game suspension this week, in Guillermo Mota.
And along with Mota, the Mets have had a laundry list of drug busts in their organization, so Minaya was asked if he was concerned about that.
His answer was one more revealing clue into the minds of the men who make their living competing at any cost.
"In the year 2007, you know what?" Minaya said. "The reality is, every club, you have guys (that have done steroids)."
Which gives you the usual impression from too many folks around the game that, yeah, yeah, it's bad and all that, but what can you do?
So maybe Bonds is the bad guy, because everyone else's guilt doesn't make him innocent.
But maybe everyone else — from players, executives, fans and media who are all numb to a scandal that has stained a sport we supposedly love for its purity — share a lot more of the blame than we care to admit.
Maybe Bonds isn't the bad guy from a wrestling ring as much as he is the one Al Pacino describes in his famous rant after making a scene in a restaurant in "Scarface":
"What you lookin' at? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fingers and say, that's the bad guy. So what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie."
There's been a lot of hiding and lying and selective scorn in this sport for a long time. It's not going away any time soon.
But no one had to worry about any of that when Bonds came up to pinch hit in the top of the 10th, because the bad guy had arrived. So the fans booed as eagerly as we in the media often rip Bonds in print. "Cheater! Cheater!'' they chanted with a disdain they surely will not share with Mota in his 2007 debut.
"Barry used steroids!'' they screamed, pointing and jeering.
So sure, Bonds is the bad guy.
But what are the rest of us.

CM: The New Nonluxury Luxury/
The WSJ had an interesting article last week on how "nonluxury luxury" companies like Amazon, Apple, J. Crew and Starbucks are challenging traditional luxury companies for customers. Like the luxury brands of old, these upstarts offer new, innovative products and great customer service.
In the words of one former luxury executive, "How come, in the past 15 or 20 years, luxury has become a legacy thing, backwards-looking?"
The same could be asked of the fundraising practices of most nonprofits. Instead of looking forward and embracing new strategies like--but not limited to--cause marketing, many nonprofits are stuck in event hell with their dinners, golf tournaments and dreaded jail'n bails. Not that these, like Louis Vuitton bags, can't be popular and successful, because they can. But as the line between philanthropy and marketing (and let's not forget entertainment) blur, traditional forms of fundraising--and the nonprofits that use them--look more and more like relics.
Take the Jerry Lewis Telethon that benefits the Muscular Dystrophy Association [full disclosure: I started my nonprofit career with MDA and greatly admire their early trailblazing]. When Jerry Lewis started the telethon decades ago it was new, appealing and innovative. But as the years passed it became stale, passe and at times ridiculous. Sure, it still raises tens of millions of dollars each year. But its creative atrophy has taken a heavy toll on MDA, an organization no one would describe as a leader in philanthropy. MDA is a contestant in a dance marathon that's outlasted everyone but just won't leave, or change his tune. Is that what you want your organization to be known for?
That's what I thought. So here are few ways to make sure your nonprofit doesn't outlast its welcome on the dance floor.
Intermingle the new with the old. When I started at my current position, I inherited the usual array of dinners, auctions and golf tournaments. Some of these were successful events that raised good money. But I didn't want to stick with just these types of fundraisers. Instead we started our first mobile program with one of our major corporate supporters. We pursued a venture philanthropy opportunity that didn't materialize, but we learned a lot from the experience. We established a Boston Marathon training team that further diversified our fundraising and led to a couple good corporate partnerships this past year. Lastly, we started Halloween Town, which was firstly a major Halloween attraction for the city of Boston. But even with all these new things, we never forgot our bread and butter programs. Neither should you. But don't let them stymy innovation either.
Don't focus on the money. If you do, you'll never try anything new. Instead, focus on the potential of your new idea. Does it diversify your fundraising? Does it target a different audience? Does it demonstrate progressiveness and innovation (never doubt the power of being "cool")? Look at all the big players in cause marketing: Komen, St. Jude, Share Our Strength. They all began with traditional fundraising vehicles, and could have stuck with them and continued to make millions. But they chose to try new things that had no guarantee of success. I'm told this is especially true for St. Jude, whose typical donor gives them $10, $15 and $20 gifts. Thanks and Giving, which St. Jude launched in 2004 was a huge risk (corporate approach, expensive advertising budget, etc.), but they were committed to diversifying their fundraising with new practices. Fortunately, they've been rewarded by raising millions more.
Don't just be cutting edge. Cut to the bone. Show donors that your progressiveness and innovation goes deeper than your fundraising and extends to your mission and work. At my own job, I often combine talk about cause marketing with education on some of the the unique, creative things the hospital does to live up to its mission of delivering "exceptional care without exception". Things like a new cancer care facility that consolidates our cancer services in one building so patients have access to the best care without a three-block hike from radiology to their doctor's office. Things like we're the only hospital in the country to have an on-site food pantry because we found that being sick is only one of the problems affecting our patients. Hunger is another. Things like a huge interpreter services program that translates dozens of languages so no one is misunderstood, or misdisagnosed.
If your organization is like mine, innovation isn't a luxury. It's a nonluxury. You innovate every day and in everything you do. And cause marketing is one of those nonluxury luxuries you simply can't afford to be without.

You will need to change in Paris but the whole journey is typically a smooth and painless experience. The train leaves London at around 08.00 and you will generally arrive in resort for 19.00 just in time for dinner.
It is advisable to book early for the trains as prices do increase the closer the travel date.

Rita : San Sebastián, Spain
Today, I'm here to introduce what is surely the fanciest restaurant to grace the neighborhood of Egia. Since the opening of the Tabakalera cultural center in 2015 (or was it the opening of Dabadaba in 2014?), this San Sebastián neighborhood has been gradually shedding its reputation as a down-and-out, not-quite-as-safe part of the city. Rita is its most recent debut, a very solid bet by the chef-about-town Ismael Iglesias.
In a very Basque, on-trend way, Rita bets it all on securing high-quality produce. These artichokes are a prime example, fried lightly and so tender and flavorful.
Our meal continued with some mushrooms, topped with a tortita made from squid ink. As you can see, presentation is right up there with taste and product as a kitchen priority.
Rita also brings some flavors that, for a local, can count as quite surprising, like grilled salmon with fennel puree and fresh fennel. Regardless of your familiarity with fennel, it will count as tasty. While we had a multi-course feast, Rita also offers a prix-fixe daily menu at €23.50, as well as a half menu at an affordable lunch price of €15.
As long as you don't go without trying the amazing shredded suckling lamb, often wrapped around foie. And, as they say on Instagram....that tableware!
You can see me being quite happy here...nothing gets me more excited than a dessert that you can tell someone has thought about for more than five seconds.
And this beet-merengue dessert most definitely qualifies. Props to the kitchen crew for this one, which was light, not too sweet, and surprisingly delicious! I think it was both of our favorites. The torrija (below) wasn't bad, either.
Overall, Rita is the spot in Egia for a "fancy" dinner at reasonable prices. And with its prix-fixe deal, not a bad lunch spot, either. They also have a menu of conservas and fried raciones, from calamari to croquetas, perfect for snacking. Everything here is done with a lot of love, so if you're looking for a spot for that Modern Basque food, here's Egia's nominee.

The first week of this long jaunt has been fruitful and memorable, and many of the memories if not much of the fruit concern a crowded train ride with the Mekons through the midlands, bantering roisterously about ouds, Adolf Hitler, and cheese.
Evidently we're in Edinburgh on August 20th with the day off. Though it's a Wednesday night, and though a night off in Edinburgh is by no means a dreary occasion, I'm not here primarily to sightsee, so if anyone cares to have a house party with music, drop me a line.
Otherwise, you may see me on the 20th in a little pub up near the castle, slouched over a plate of boiled young potatoes and a lager, muttering rhyming slang aloud.

THREE new franchisesby admin, Sep 2016
Yesterday saw the end of the four day training programme for our three new franchisees. Robert (Well Polished Gateshead), Lisa (Well Polished Preston) and Melissa & Clare (Well Polished Tunbridge Wells) have all officially launched their brand new businesses, with the constant support from our National team.
Pictured (left) with our company trainers, Janine and Ashleigh – all of the trainees said that the training programme was far better than they had anticipated.
'The training has been brilliant. Janine & Ash were both fantastic and how amazing to be trained by actual existing franchisees! They know all there is to know about running the business, so it was great to learn from them.'
Lisa (Preston)
'I was honestly really impressed. I never imagined it would be so professional and well structured. The training was planned in such a way that each day followed nicely on from the last, and allowed us to build our knowledge slowly without bombarding us.'
Melissa (Tunbridge Wells)
'The girls were brilliant – they made us feel so comfortable to ask any questions (even if we'd already asked it once before!)'
Robert (Gateshead)
The new franchisees now have their individual pages on our website LIVE and their FREE, professionally managed Google adwords campaign should ensure their first enquiry is just around the corner!

BRAMPTON, Ontario — Milagros Eustaquio-Syme, a justice of the peace in Ontario, is one of 100 most influential Filipino women in the world, according to the Filipina Women's Network (FWN).
The award recognizes "women of Philippine ancestry who are influencing the face of leadership in the global workplace, having reached status for outstanding work in their respective professions, industries, and communities….. for their achievement and contributions to society, femtorship (female mentoring), and legacy," according to the group led by founder and CEO Marily Mondejar, and President Susan Quesada.
Syme's award in the "policymaker and visionary" category will be presented to her at the 14th Filipina Leadership Global Summit on October 25-29, 2017, at the Intercontinental Toronto Center. The theme for this year's summit is "Filipinas in Motion: Leading, Advocating, Impacting."
Mondejar and Quesada explain that the "policymaker and visionary award" recognizes Filipina women leaders who have demonstrated exceptional acumen combined with a forward-looking vision in the development or influencing of policies, campaigns or laws that impact business, industry and society.
They are leaders who enrich the lives, careers and businesses of others, share the benefits of their wealth, experience, knowledge and actions that "significantly change how we think and live."
Previous awardees of FWN's 100 Most Influential Women of the World include California Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil -Sakuaye, Charles Schwab Investments CEO Evelyn Dilsaver, Western Union Senior VP Patricia Ringen, and four Rear Admirals in the United States Navy, namely Connie Mariano, Raquel Bono, Eleanor Valentin, and Bebette Bolivar.
Syme's contribution to the Filipino Canadian community started way back in the mid-1980s. In 1986, she was the founder and first president of the Network of Filipino Canadian Women, when she went to bat for women victims of domestic violence.
Her organization also made the government aware of the uncertain status of domestic live-in workers after their contracts were over. Dependent on their employers for status, the caregivers prefer to remain quiet even if subjected to employer violence and unfair labor practices, because they have families at home relying on the support they send monthly.
"We also dealt with problems associated with mail order brides, who were fearful of reporting domestic abuse to the authorities as the husbands may retaliate and get them deported, on the basis of the husbands' accusing them of using the husbands solely to obtain landed immigrant status," she adds.
"With other groups like the Canadian Ethnocultural Council (an umbrella organization of 54 ethnic groups in Canada) and Intercede, for example, we lobbied the then-federal Minister of Immigration, the Ontario Minister responsible for the Status of Women, and the Ontario Women's Directorate regarding these issues," Syme states.
"And now we are happy to report that domestic workers enjoy regular working hours, are paid overtime if they work more than the statutory hours, and at the end of their five-year contracts, they can apply as immigrants to Canada and sponsor their families to live here. Work is now underway toward accreditation of education and experience obtained outside Canada by immigrants," Syme adds.
"Mail order brides"also no longer face automatic deportation when their marriages break up.
In 1994, Syme became the executive director of the Peel Multicultural Center (PMC), which serves the cities of Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon. PMC advocates for immigrants and visible minorities on issues such as racism and discrimination in the workplace, schools, access to homes and social services.
PMC also provides outreach and education for its clients on matters of domestic violence, concerns of live-in caregivers, immigrant sponsorship, and civic participation, among others. In 1993, PMC received the Most Outstanding Organization Award from the province of Ontario and Syme received an Outstanding Volunteer Award in 1994.
From 1994 to 2004, she became a judge for the Immigration and Refugee Board. In this capacity, she was responsible for refugee determination decisions pursuant to the Canadian Charter of Rights and the United Nations definition of a Convention Refugee.
From 2005 to the present, Syme has been a Justice of the Peace for Ontario. Her duties are varied.
On criminal matters, she is responsible for decisions on criminal pretrial custody (bail), criminal remand courts, issuance of search warrants, arrest warrants, child protection warrants, peace bonds, and most criminal processes.
On provincial regulatory offences, she is responsible for the majority of provincial regulatory offences and municipal bylaw prosecutions. These include offences against the Highway Traffic Act, Building Code, Environment Act, Fisheries Act, Dog Owners' Liability Act, Trespass to Property Act, and other provincial statutes. And she can also officiate at weddings.
Once appointed as a member of the province's judicial system, Justice Syme is prohibited from being a member or volunteer of civic organizations.
"Actually, I had to obtain special permission to remain a member of the College of the Holy Spirit Alumni Association of Toronto (CHSNAF-Toronto) and the University of the Philippines Alumni Association (UPAAT)," she explains.
Among her other volunteer positions are being a past president of UPAAT, member of the provincial Ontario Advisory Council on the Status of Women, and a member of the Advisory Council to the Treasury Board on the Appointment of Visible Minorities in the Federal Public Service.
Her awards include: UPAAT's Most Outstanding Alumnae of the Year– she holds a Master's degree in statistics (1968) and a Master's in Business Administration (1972) from UP; one of the Outstanding Alumnae of the Year for College of the Holy Spirit Manila (which she attended from grade school to high school); and Outstanding Alumnae of the Year for Maryknoll (now Miriam) College in Quezon City, where she received her Bachelor of Arts, major in mathematics, in 1965.
Asked if she thinks if her life turned out the way she wanted, she answered: "Better! I wanted to be like my mom, a working mother and wife. (She is married to Robert Syme, an entrepreneur/inventor.) Now, I am a wife, yes–but my kids are the people I serve."

WASHINGTON — President Obama's latest choice to fill one of the vacancies on a powerful appeals court went down in a filibuster on Tuesday as Senate Republicans blocked another White House nominee — the third in two weeks — and deepened a growing conflict with Democrats over presidential appointments.
By a vote of 56 to 41, the nomination of Cornelia T. L. Pillard, a Georgetown law professor, fell short of clearing the necessary 60-vote threshold.
Ms. Pillard's liberal record on issues like abortion has troubled many conservatives, who are concerned about her attaining a position on a court widely considered second in stature to only the Supreme Court. But Senate Republicans have tried to frame their opposition to her not in terms of her views on social issues, instead focusing on the caseload at the court, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which is lower than that of other federal appeals courts.
The disagreements carried over onto the Senate floor on Tuesday, as Democrats accused Republicans of blocking a perfectly qualified woman for political purposes, while Republicans said Democrats were desperately looking for a wedge issue.
Looming underneath their disagreements about Ms. Pillard is the likelihood — which appeared to grow considerably on Tuesday — that the fight will escalate and result in a change to the Senate rules to limit the minority party's ability to filibuster judicial nominees.
Senator Richard J. Durbin, the chamber's No. 2 Democrat, warned Republicans that they were pushing the Senate dangerously close to a tipping point.
"There reaches a point where we can't allow this type of injustice to occur," he said, all but threatening that Democrats would be forced to change the rules. "It's not fair to these nominees," he added, "to be given the back of the hand by a Republican filibuster on the floor of the United States Senate."
Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, who is a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, dared Democrats to change the rules, saying it would come back to haunt them if they lost the majority.
"Go ahead," Mr. Grassley said. "There are a lot more Scalias and Thomases that we'd love to put on the bench," referring to Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas of the Supreme Court.
Democrats have made much of the fact that two of the three nominees whom Republicans have rejected recently — and three of the filibustered nominees the president has submitted for the District of Columbia appeals court over the last year — were women. Mr. Grassley rejected the idea that sex played any role in opposition to the nominees.
"When the other side runs out of legitimate arguments, their last line of defense is to accuse Republicans of opposing nominees based upon gender or race," he said. "It's a well-worn card. And they play it every time."
The dispute has brought the Senate to the point of crisis twice this year. But this latest round has become especially intense because of the power of the court in question. It regularly decides cases that determine whether White House-issued regulations are constitutional. Just last week it ruled that the mandate in the Affordable Care Act for employers to provide free coverage for contraception infringes on individual religious liberty.
Social conservatives have seized on Ms. Pillard's published writings on abortion and motherhood, in which she has staunchly defended a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy as constitutionally protected. One writer for The National Review Online called her "a pro-abortion extremist."
The nomination of one more judge to the appeals court could move to the Senate floor soon. Robert L. Wilkins, a Federal District Court judge for the District of Columbia, has already cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee and is awaiting a floor vote.
But Republicans have shown no willingness to approve him, either. Speaking after the vote on Tuesday, Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said he believed it had come to the point when Senate filibuster rules must be changed because Republicans were holding the president's nominees to such "a blatant double standard."
Slamming his fist on a lectern, he shouted, "Their credibility is shredded!"

Over the years, I have participated several small arts & crafts shows. Currently, I am preparing for a 25+ hours, three day adventure called Winterfair Columbus, and I am really excited and slightly overwhelmed. As an introvert, I know that three days of the emotional/physical ride are going to be fun, but they will also knock me out. The best thing I can do now is stay positive and be prepared, so I am starting lists and piles and getting myself mentally in shape for the bonanza of holiday shoppers, and hopefully new fans!
There are lots of helpful blog posts out there, like this excellent one at Handmadeology: The Science of the Handmade, where they have accumulated a long list of articles. Right now I am working on a banner and getting my tags in order, which will include prices and a brief blurb about the artwork. Hope to see you in Columbus, Ohio, December 5-7th! Back to work!

Bad Auto, Credit Card Debts Rise At Capital One
For more evidence that consumers are struggling as the economy sours, one need not go further than McLean-based Capital One.
In a monthly regulatory filing, the credit card giant and bank said on Monday that consumers had an increasingly difficult time paying off their credit card debt and auto loans in October.
The company's net charge-off rate, or the percentage of bad loans that won't be fully repaid, for the company's U.S. credit cards increased to 6.54 percent in October from 6.34 percent in September, the filing said.
The company's net charge-off rate for auto loans ticked up to 5.50 from 4.98 in September.

My site mates and I are starting a weekly radio show – TOMORROW.
Among hopefully somewhat-intelligent conversation and interviews, we want to play a variety of music that is not cumbia, cachaca, polka, funky because there is plenty of that on the air already.
My contributions to the playlist for tomorrow:
- It's Bigger than Hip Hop (Dead Prez)
- Bring it on Home to Me (Sam Cooke)
- Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode)
- The World is Going up in Flames (Charles Bradley)
- Dirty Bass (Far East Movement)
Itacurubi is going to be so confused.
If you are an insomniac up in Texas at 4 am on Tuesdays, 7 am our time (we didn't get prime air slots, they are giving us the time for free!) you can listen to us here. Or, if you just want to see what kind of music is playing in Paraguay at a normal time of the day too :).
Sidenote/request!!! I would love new music recommendations from the states for my own enjoyment and also to play on the radio at some point… let me know.

Having graced the pages of international titles Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, walked the runway with Miranda Kerr and Naomi Campbell and worked on a film with Russell Crowe it was the announcement on Sunday 27th of July at the Weddings and Events of Australia (WEOA) awards that truly took the formal International Model, Nat Lynn's breath away.
Nat Lynn owner of Milque Photography and Films together with her team took out the prestigious title of 'Sydney Wedding Photographer of the Year' for 2014 at the Weddings and Events of Australia (WEOA) awards.
"We were so honoured last week to receive the Queensland Wedding Photographer of the Year award and now to have won in Sydney as well is truly overwhelming," said Nat Lynn.
"Transforming from in front of the camera to behind the camera was a big move, but I absolutely love it. I originally started as a fashion stylist than as a fashion photographer, which I firmly believe has given me a strong point of difference in the Wedding Industry".
"Brides often say to us they want to look like the girls in the magazines but still look like themselves, and that is exactly what Milque Photography and Films do. Nothing makes me happier then to capture a person's inner beauty that shines out of them when I am working with them. I love making people feel amazing about themselves, " said Nat Lynn.
The Milque style has a distinctive style of photography apparent in their weddings and portraits. They are all bright, fresh, natural and fun and the team love to go the extra mile when it comes to styling the shoot, suiting their clients families and home décor.
Milque Photography and Films was born when Nat Lynn was looking for her own Wedding Photographer. Not being able to find exactly what she was looking for, Nat Lynn decided to start a Wedding Photography studio based around the style of photography that she wanted for her own wedding.
Milque Photography and Films http://www.milque.com.au now employ 4 Full time team members, 8 photographers and 4 videographers and has studios in Brisbane (Fortitude Valley) and Sydney (Surry Hills).
WEOA is independent organization dedicated to finding and awarding the best wedding industry professionals in Australia. The WEOA awards for excellence creates the perfect forum to acknowledge and recognise the amazing creative talent of companies and individuals in the wedding industry http://www.weoa.com.au

So, here is my last week, a little late again, but all it needs to motivate me to go on with Project 365 is to think how much time I´ve already spent on it, and that I´m really looking forward to seeing the result. So, here it is:
Jajaja, credits for the papers go to Ellie Lash again. No other papers touch my book :-)

You can download it here!
I listened to lots of music last week, rediscovered some old classics from when I was litte (like "Nothing compares to you" from Sinead O´Conner, or "Spending my time" from Roxette - yeah, really old stuff), but I also found some cool songs I didn´t know before, and my favourite tune for this week, the one on endless repeat at the moment, is this one:

The Broken Arrow Church has long been active in foreign mission fields. The Foreign Mission Ministry facilitates foreign mission campaigns by organizing the campaigns and financially supporting our members who work on those campaigns.
Currently we support missionaries in Cambodia, India, and Ukraine. You can find out more about the work God is doing in those countries by scrolling down. Some of the countries in which our members have shared Jesus in the past include Russia, Belize, Philippines, Australia, Mexico, Venezuela, Scotland, and Japan.
Our congregation currently supports three couples in Ukraine, Brandon & Katie Price, Sasha & Nastia Nikolaenko and Alexander & Aleena Padalyuk.
Brandon and Katie are currently serving in Kharkov, Ukraine. Brandon and Katie both attended the Adventures In Missions program after high school. Brandon was sent to work in Ukraine, and it was then he first fell in love with the Ukrainian people and began to dream of doing long-term ministry there one day. Brandon and Katie were married in 2005 and both graduated from the Sunset International Bible Institute in 2007. They lived in Ukraine together for one year after graduation and were invited at the end of that year to join a team of three American families preparing to move to Kharkov. It was during their search for support to join this work that they were introduced to Broken Arrow. Brandon and Katie are currently the only American team members who have remained in Kharkov. Their efforts are focused on trying to make and grow disciples through Bible studies, teaching, and preaching. Due to the difficult situation in Ukraine, Brandon and Katie are also currently working alongside Sasha and Nastia Nikolaenko (a native Ukrainian couple also supported by Broken Arrow) to provide humanitarian assistance to those who have been displaced due to political unrest. You can view their blog at brandonandkatie.com. Or Follow Brandon and Katie on Facebook.
Sasha Nikolaenko is a graduate of the Ukrainian Bible Institute. He and Nastia were married in 2011 and have a little girl, Mia, and an expected arrival due in July 2015. Because of the unrest in the east, Sasha and Nastia were forced to flee their home in Donetsk and have settled in the city of Kharkov, where they work alongside Brandon and Katie Price. Sasha is part of the Let's Love foundation. Originally based in the city of Donetsk, Let's Love worked to help orphans and troubled young people in that region of Ukraine. Let's Love now focuses on helping the millions who have been displaced because of the rebel conflict. Sasha leads the humanitarian aid center based in Kharkov, which provides food, clothing, and diapers to families in need. He also leads children's Bible classes at a refugee camp near the outskirts of the city as well as participates in the life of the church body in Kharkov. Both Sasha and Nastia work in camps throughout Ukraine in the summer, and have helped teach and translate in Broken Arrow's VBS trips for several years. You can follow Sasha's work on Facebook at facebook.com/alexander.nikolaenko.961
In 1996, through the efforts of a campaign by Broken Arrow, the congregation at Khartyzskwas established. Alexander and Aleena Padalyuk work with this congregation. Alexander and Aleena are graduates of the Ukrainian Bible institute. They have a daughter, Keera. Alexander and Aleena are active in work at a local orphanage as government and political conflict allow. The Khartyzsk congregation averages 35 in attendance on Sundays.
Currently Broken Arrow provides partial support for Brother A. Visweswara (Brother V). Brother V's father was converted by J.C. Bailey, a Canadian preacher who was one of the first to bring the gospel to India. He became a preacher and Brother V has followed in his footsteps.
Brother V preaches at both the Arikirevula congregation and the Kovvor congregation and holds many evangelistic meetings and preacher lectureships, teaching preachers in the local area to minister to their communities. He is also the director of the Christian Charitable Society Bill & Sharon Paxton Children's Home in Arikirevula. Brother V has developed a Christian Charitable Society in which he provides some care for a leper colony and many widows in the area.
The congregation at Arikirevula raised money for a television ministry. Brother V tapes the programs and they are aired every Sunday morning. The weekly program reaches 81 villages and 6 districts, approximately 140,000 people regularly watch the program.
The churches at Kovvur and Arikirevula are both active and growing. The congregation in Kovvur averages 55 in attendance, with eight new converts in 2008. The congregation in Arikirevula averages 155 in attendance, with five conversions for the year. Both congregations support their own programs and assist Brother V with his evangelistic outreach.
Brother V has been preaching the gospel since 1980. He became a grandfather recently and his youngest daughter recently married a minister's son in India. His son continues to study medicine in Rajahmundry, 20 km from his village and also involves himself in church work. He has begun teaching Bible stories and songs to school children in the area, as well as filling in for Brother V at the leper colony.
Brother V can be contacted at the following addresses:

The Cambodia Bible Institute is a work of the Sunset Church of Christ in Lubbock, Texas. Rich and Ronda Dolan have served the Cambodia Bible Institute since 2007. Rich serves as the Dean of the school. Rich's work involves teaching and training, scheduling visiting teachers from the States, establishing the schedule and curriculum, recruiting students and working with local churches. He also arranges vocational training for the students to allow them to be self-supporting, if needed.
Due to laws in Cambodia forbidding door-to-door campaigns, there are scheduled Evangelism Weeks which give students the opportunity to return to their home villages and preach the gospel. As another tool for outreach, Rich has arranged for the translation of Bible commentaries which serve as study guides. The first project completed was a commentary of Romans titled "Paid in Full" by Richard Rodgers. "Paid in Full" is given to all graduates, church leaders and sold in the Bible bookstore in Phnom Penh. Recently a man of a different faith from the Phnom Penh Bible School requested a copy of the book in English from which he plans to teach a class and assign reading. A second book, in the process of translation, is "The Life of Christ." Once completed, 2000 books and 1,000 study guides will be completed.
Rich and Ronda attend and work with two congregations. "Usually I preach and teach class 3 or 4 times a month at the Phnom Penh congregation. Most Sundays I teach Bible class at the University congregation where I am also helping lead and train men."
A note from Rich:
Although we are now miles apart, we continually thank God for all of you in Broken Arrow. You are our dear friends, brothers and sisters. We are grateful that you are partners with us in God's work here in Cambodia and love that we can be your representatives here. You continue to be a special part of our lives. We hope you know that we love you all very much!
Rich and Ronda maintain a blog concerning the mission effort in Cambodia.
Medical Missions
Medical Missions
Medical Missions seek to glorify God by combining the talents of Bible teachers and medical professionals on medical evangelistic campaigns to developing countries. Help is needed in obtaining donations of medicine, eyeglasses, medical supplies and equipment and in packing and preparing the materials for the foreign outreach programs. Additional help is needed in writing to new converts and follow-up of those contacted who desire further study through World Bible School.
Past Medical Mission destinations have been to Guyana, Belize, Dominica, Panama and Ukraine. These trips are typically made during the month of July.
