You may have noticed that I ended my last post with "Today's forget-me-not". This is something new I want to do for 2013 and beyond. Since I created this blog "to remember everything, everyone, and every day the Lord Jesus sends my way," I thought I'd end each post with that - that thing I've learned, or talking about the qualities of the person I just met, or, generally, with just something I don't want to forget.
Today, it was back to church after two Sundays off. The Sunday before last was right before Christmas eve, and we just needed that day as a family to gear up for Christmas. The previous Sunday there wasn't childcare available, so for us, that meant a day at home, for sure!
Anyway, I was glad to get back to church. The first Sunday of every month, Michael helps out in Beth's Sunday school class, and I help out in Hannah's. We miss worship that Sunday which is a sacrifice we are very willing to make for those teachers who are with our kidos every Sunday without fail. Then, it was off to Sunday school for Michael and I.
I love our Sunday school teacher! He has such a heart for the Lord! It is very infectious :-) We started a new study of the book of James, and I love this book. It's all about living what you believe and not just paying lip service to it.
Anyway, I just want to be more committed to outreach - to our community. Please feel free to share below any cool church outreach ideas for Easter and Halloween. I'm thinking egg hunt and trunk-or-treat, but other ideas as well as modifications of these current ones would be greatly appreciated!
James 1:22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
I want to look deeper into my faith and "continue in" - i.e. practice - it. I want His blessings, and I know service bring the best ones.
Today's forget-me-not: Blessings come when you serve - when you are a doer of His word and not just a hearer.
Our church did a trunk or treat with a pot luck before and it was tons of fun! Good luck and good for you doing so much. I hope your church appreciates you!

Biosimilar products help reduce cost of medicines: Wan Azizah
October 29, 2018 November 8, 2018 Administrator
NILAI: The introduction of biosimilar products is a promising strategy that can benefit the people and country as it encourages competition in the market which can then lead to a reduction of about 30%-40% in the cost of medicines, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
She said this is particularly important in Malaysia, especially with an estimated 73% of total deaths in the country due to non-communicable diseases, including cancer.
"According to the Malaysian National Cancer Registry Report 2007-2011, a total number of 103,407 new cancer cases were diagnosed in Malaysia during the period.
"Statistics from Health Facts 2016, published by the Health Ministry, show that cancer is the third leading cause of deaths in government hospitals, contributing to 13.6% of deaths.
"This is very worrying, especially since the percentage of the number of deaths caused by cancer in 1996 in government hospitals was only 8.9%," she said in her speech at the Biosimilar Carnival 2018, here today.
Also present were Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and Inno Bio Ventures Sdn Bhd chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Mamat.
Dr Wan Azizah said biosimilars are medical products that are almost identical copies of an original product which are manufactured by a different company and are usually approved versions of the original products that are manufactured when the original products' patents expire.
"Additionally, advances in biotechnology are also seen as a means of providing employment opportunities to Malaysians and to indirectly produce more skilled workers in Malaysia," she said.
She said the government is aware and supportive of efforts made by organisations such as Inno Bio in organising campaigns and awareness programmes on life-threatening diseases, such as cancer, within local communities.
"I was informed that Inno Bio is currently focusing on the medicines and treatment of cancer, alongside other diseases.
"I am happy to share that Inno Bio received international recognition in 2016 from the D8 Organisation for Economic Cooperation through biosimilar product invention efforts in collaboration with Aryogen Pharmed (from Iran)," she said. The D8 Organisation is an organisation for development cooperation among Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey.
She said the collaboration between Inno Bio and Aryogen Pharmed is an excellent example of technology transfer strategies and demonstrates that biosimilar initiatives are relevant and accepted globally.
"This cooperation will fulfill technology market functions, information dissemination on technological capabilities, achievements and needs among the D8 Member Countries. This also proves that our country is capable of producing our own high impact biopharmaceutical products through strategic partnerships," she added.
After officiating at the Biosimilar Carnival, Dr Wan Azizah also witnessed the exchange of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Inno Bio, represented by its CEO Mohd Zaid Abdul Jalil, and D8 Organisation, represented by its secretary-general Datuk Ku Jaafar Ku Shaari.
Dr Wan Azizah said the MoU aims is to strengthen the engagement between Inno Bio and D8 in order to increase inter-related cooperation between the Islamic states in the area of innovation and technology transfers, business opportunities and support.
"With this platform, I look forward to more collaboration between industry players in exchanging expertise, technologies and business opportunities," she said. — Bernama

In January 2016 I founded Environmental Progress with the immodest goal of lifting everyone out of poverty while reversing humankind's negative impact on the environment.
First on our list of priorities was preventing the closure of nuclear plants around the world.
It was hard work, especially in the beginning. I went everywhere nuclear plants were at risk of closure, generating headlines, controversy and — over time — some big victories.
Last year we won in Illinois and New York — this year we won in France, Connecticut and South Korea.
Not bad for a couple years' work!
And EP is increasingly being joined by other pro-nuclear forces in advocating to keep nuclear plants operating.
On Monday, I testified before the New Jersey Senate. Where EP was all alone in Illinois in 2016, in Connecticut and in New Jersey EP is being joined by other pro-nuclear groups including Generation Atomic, Environmental Hope and Justice, Clean Air Task Force, Third Way, and the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions.
We still have a steep road in front of us. Nuclear remains badly misunderstood, and underappreciated. And we remain the underdog.
But our strategy is clearly paying off — and more than anyone thought possible.
I hope you will consider an end-of-the-year donation so we can take EP to the next level.
The IRS recently awarded us nonprofit status, so every donation you make is tax deductible.
With your help we will achieve our shared dream of nature and prosperity for all.


Detroit Medical Center has been a committed citizen of Detroit and Southeast Michigan for over 150 years. Since opening our first facility in Detroit, DMC has added locations throughout the region to provide the best possible service. We're proud to play a part in the revitalization of the region; however, we recognize one critical issue that is negatively affecting Southeast Michigan and the people here: disconnected regional transit.
Fortunately, after years of underfunding the regional transit system, the recently released Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan's Regional Master Transit Plan gives our four counties the chance to secure a 21st century regional transit network to connect people to jobs and opportunities. This is the solution to problems of disconnected transit that have plagued the region for far too long.
DMC believes that quality health care is a basic right of every human being. As one of the largest health care providers in Southeast Michigan, DMC attracts patients from across the region seeking the help of world-class specialty programs. However, in order for patients to take advantage of our award-winning programs, they need transportation that enables them to reach our facilities throughout the region.
Accessibility is essential for high-quality health care. Unfortunately, Michigan's current disjointed network of separate transit providers leaves far too many communities not served or far underserved.
A lack of reliable regional transit especially affects the most vulnerable or underserved citizens in Southeast Michigan. This includes seniors and people with disabilities, who may not be able to drive. Being unable to drive should not hinder a person's independence. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control, adults with disabilities are twice as likely as adults without disabilities to lack adequate access to regional transit, which prevents them from reliably getting to health appointments on time.
It is not just people who can't drive who are negatively affected by disconnected regional public transit. A majority of employees are unable to rely on public transit to get to work; 92 percent of jobs in Southeast Michigan cannot be reached within 60 minutes on regional public transit. This negatively affects employers, like DMC, and employees alike.
Finally, high-quality transit is a proven economic-growth engine. The American Public Transportation Association found that, on average, every $1 invested in public transit results in $4 in economic returns for the region. Cities like Cleveland and Seattle are experiencing tremendous returns on investment in their regional transit networks. Southeast Michigan's underinvestment in comprehensive regional transit prevents our region from attracting the same type of benefits.
We cannot waste this opportunity to reliably connect our communities. The Regional Master Transit Plan will connect people to jobs (benefiting employers and employees), help increase independence for seniors and people with disabilities, attract and retain young talent, and spur economic development.
A connected regional transit system is essential to the future of Southeast Michigan.
We cannot leave Southeast Michigan's four counties — Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Washtenaw — disconnected. The RTA's Regional Master Transit Plan will enable seamless, reliable and connected travel throughout the region.
Please visit rtamichigan.org to review the plan and submit your feedback for an even greater, connected regional transit system.

Council briefed on risks of Trinity Toll Road
Link to article here.
They should have pulled the plug on this toll road long ago. It's a dangerous boondoggle to benefit well-connected developers, not the average commuter. It barely passed the public vote in the first place. There are better uses for scarce road funds.
Dallas council briefed on risk of Trinity toll road floods
By ROBERT WILONSKY
A 9-mile toll road proposed inside the Trinity River levees would extend about 535 feet into the floodway for much of its length and run right next to the river in some spots.
Dallas City Council members also learned during a presentation Monday that the road would include a "flood separation wall" that's not even as high as the existing levees and would necessitate an evacuation plan in the event of a 100-year flood.
"This is the first time we got a sense of how far the road goes into the green space," said council member Scott Griggs, a longtime critic of the plan. "And the flood wall only halfway up the levees — if you live near the levees you know why they're as tall as they are.
"Now I am concerned about the safety of people using the road during storms."
The revelations came Monday during a meeting of the City Council's Transportation and Trinity Corridor Project Committee. The briefing by engineering firm HNTB was intended to bring the council up to speed on the Federal Highway Administration's final environmental impact statement for a toll road that would connect Interstate 45/U.S. Highway 175 to the Interstate 35E/State Highway 183 interchange.
The city has been hoping since 1998 to build the reliever route, but it needs the highway authority's approval for the $1.5 billion toll road, as well as a sign-off from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which will release its own environmental impact statement Friday in advance of another council briefing.
HNTB vice president Dan Chapman sneaked a peek at that assessment Monday, when he told the council that the corps says it's "technically sound to build the parkway in the floodway." But he also reminded the council that the "no-build alternative" remains on the table.
That prompted council member Sheffie Kadane to wonder what happens to the unsold bonds from the 1998 election if that happens. Assistant City Manager Jill Jordan said the city could "do away with them" or use them to build another part of the Trinity River project, such as for recreation or environmental remediation.
Council member Philip Kingston, who, like Griggs, isn't a member of the committee, brought the discussion back to the safety of drivers.
"I am just imagining myself in that SUV in heavy rains in the spring," he said. "You think those flood separation walls will keep me safe?"
Chapman told him they're at 100-year flood levels "plus 2 feet," and that, combined with "very good forecasting," should be enough to keep people safe. But if the walls do prove insufficient, he said, there would be an emergency plan in place.
Griggs said none of that makes him feel particularly safe, and after the meeting he pointed out that the toll road remains unfunded.
"It'll be interesting to see what the NTTA and its bondholders feel about a road with those liabilities," he said, "a road where cars could be washed away."

Some may consider Red Bull's Formula One race cars some of the ugliest race cars out there, but no one can deny their abilities. Last year, Red Bull pulled in 12 wins, 27 podiums, and 18 pole positions. They may not be the prettiest, but they deliver, as will the RB7's successor, the RB8.
The Red Bull RB8 is the continuation of the RB7, but modified to obey the new FIA regulations. The company has only provided a few details for the new racer, such as the addition of a new nose and an updated rear end. The chassis benefits from further aerodynamic refinements and we're assuming the engine has been tweaked here and there as well.
"The restriction nose height which is a maximum height just in front of the front bulkhead hasn't really changed the chassis shape very much. We've kept more or less the same chassis shape, but had to drop the nose just in front of the front bulkhead. The exhaust allowed us to run a high rear ride height, it's much more difficult without that to sustain a high rear height so we have to go back down and have to redevelop the car around that lower ride height," said Adrian Newey.
I would definitely agree on the statement that it was not that impressive on the exterior, but it was a truly successor. I hope that now they have achieve some titles and won matches. Moreover, they are able to improve the designs and skins of this race-car.
Wow! It feels like the name of an energy drink. Anyways, I love the creative art of this model as well as the stickers on it. The color combination of the body paint captivates my attention easily.
I don't agree with some people who say that Red Bull's Formula Race cars are the ugliest race cars. I found this one attractive, and the design was great. The performance given by the race cars made by Red Bull is undeniably amazing.


The team of researchers reports promising results in preclinical models across multiple types of cancer cells and published their findings in Science Translation Medicine.
By harnessing the power of cancer cells' self-homing ability – the process in which cancer cells can track the cells of their kind that have spread within the same organ or other parts of the body – researchers believe they will be able to overcome drug delivery challenges.
The team has developed and tested two techniques to use the power of the cancer cells.
To test both approaches, the team used mouse models of primary and recurrent brain cancer and breast cancer that has spread to the brain.
The re-engineered cancer cells targeted and killed recurrent and metastatic cancer in the mice and increased the survival rate of the mice.
"Our study demonstrates the therapeutic potential of using engineered tumor cells and their self-homing properties for developing receptor-targeted therapeutics for various cancers," Shah said, according to Eurek Alert.

Film review – Black Widow (2021)
8 July 2021 Thomas Caldwell Film awards Comments Off on Film review – Black Widow (2021)
There is something unusual about the prologue of Black Widow: it is emotionally engaging and visually interesting, possessing the tactile look and feel of Australian director Cate Shortland's previous films. Could this be a change from the uniformity of the globally dominant Marvel superhero film franchise? The extended flashback that begins this latest instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe moves from intrigue to heartbreak to horror as it portrays a supposedly all-American family of mum, dad and their two young daughters in 1995 suddenly fleeing to Cuba where it is revealed that they are all unrelated Russian intelligence agents. Strongly evoking the murky tension of the television series The Americans it is an exciting opening that promises a blend of gripping action and real character drama with the opportunity for Shortland's distinctive directorial style to shine through the now very established sheen that characterises this superhero film series that now consists of over twenty films. However, as soon as the opening titles are over and the film cuts to 21 years later, where the eldest girl has grown up to be Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), a former elite assassin who is now one of the Avengers, Black Widow rapidly slides into the familiar Marvel superhero mode. What follows is an entertaining, reasonably stand-alone Cold War inspired action/thriller, but it frustratingly never reaches the full potential that it initially teases.
