Back in the springtime I enrolled in a bunch of "Living Life Better" online course/commitments at work, where I learned a bunch of stuff about how to improve my life in areas like "walking to get fit", "learn to relax", and "eat more vegetables" (all things I really needed to study up on, right?). With each little tip dispensed in the course, I'd commit to some simple action (like, "headbang once this week, because listening to music will reduce stress in your life!" Me: "ONLY once??"), and once I confirmed that I'd done it I earned XP. With enough XP I'd graduate up to the next level, and also be entered into drawings for monthly prizes (none of which I won). So. I actually did enroll in the "eat more veggies" course because I felt at the time like I was in a rut of not actually eating much of our farmshare fresh, but rather hoarding it all to can or freeze. As it turns out, I was a little more advanced a vegetable eater than the target audience of the course. One of the tips was to not store your tomatoes in the fridge, and the commitment action was to have a tomato on your counter. I was like, "I think I can do that." Another tip was that beets are delicious shredded on salads, and the XP were earned by, and I quote, "buy[ing] a beet". Not shredding the beet. Not even just eating it any way you chose. Just obtaining a beet. So I got my XP for that easy, but you know what? Tonight I shredded a beet onto a salad that included grocery store iceberg lettuce (nutritionally deficient!), farmshare carrots (still haven't managed much of a dent in those quantities!), grocery store croutons (I could eat them like crackers!), and then some old-skool, super-delicious Thousand Island dressing. And you know what? Shredded raw beets? Are DELICIOUS. Especially when they raise the "actual vegetable" content of your salad as much as this one did. Surely this is worth a lot of XP!

Tomorrow's leaders must think and act as global citizens in order to address the challenges facing humanity. Broadly defined, global citizens are people who are consciously prepared to live and work in the complex interdependent society of the 21st century and contribute to improving the common global welfare of our planet and its inhabitants.

 

The program aims to engage participating students as global citizens, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, values, and commitment to:

 

- Understand the nature of globalization, including its positive and negative impacts around the world, and realize how it is transforming human society;

 

- Appreciate the diversity of humanity in all of its manifestations, from local to global, and interact with different groups of people to address common concerns;

 

- Recognize the critical global challenges that are compromising humanity's future and see how their complexity and interconnections make solutions increasingly difficult; and

 

- Collaborate with different sets of stakeholders, by thinking globally and acting locally, to resolve these critical challenges and build a more equitable and sustainable world.

 

The session format includes lectures and discussions with an international faculty as well as formal and informal work in small groups. Topics addressed in plenary lectures and discussions include globalization and global responsibility; the social, economic, and political aspects of migration; the historical legacy of the Holocaust, human rights, humanitarian intervention; sustainable development; and the implications of the United States' influence around the world.

 

Participants will consider how these issues relate to their current situations and future personal, educational, and professional plans. They will also have the opportunity to develop projects and activities related to the session topic that can be implemented at their colleges and universities, in their local communities, and beyond.

"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men."

  

Conference Talk:

For more information on this topic read "We Are Doing a Great Work and Cannot Come Down," by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Ensign, May 2009, 59-62.

  

Thought:

We cannot and we must not allow ourselves to get distracted from our sacred duty. We cannot and we must not lose focus on the things that matter most.

  

Song:</b.

"I Want to Live the Gospel," Children's Songbook, p. 148.

  

Scripture:

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life. (2 Nephi 31:20)

  

Lesson:

Have your family tell of different times in history when people have been killed for what they believed. Ask, "Why would one group of people kill another group for what they believe?"

  

Take turns reading 3 Nephi 1:4-9. Ask:

  

What were the wicked people going to do to the righteous? Why?

 

Why do you think the truth makes some people so angry? (See Helaman

13:25-28.)

 

If your life was threatened by a wicked group of people because of what you believed, what would you do?

  

As a family, read 3 Nephi 1:10-23 and look for what happened to the

righteous Nephites who were condemned to die because of what they believed. Ask:

 

What most impresses you about this group of Nephites?

 

Even though they were spared, how was their faith tried?

 

How do you think they felt when "at the going down of the sun there was no darkness"? (Verse 15.)

 

Do you think you would have remained faithful in this circumstance? Why or why not?

 

Even though we may not face the threat of death, what lessons can we learn from 3 Nephi 1 about preparing for the Second Coming?

 

Story:

An example of tremendous courage in the face of certain death is the story of Rafael Monroy and Vicente Morales, two brethren from Mexico who lived during the Mexican civil war. The rebels who fought against the government in hopes of gaining power were called Zapatistas; they were followers of Emiliano Zapata. The civil war caused much bigotry, cruelty, anarchy, and bloodshed, reaching into the most isolated villages. Amid the violence, personal, political, and religious scores were often settled. In 1912 while this terrible civil war was in full swing, the Monroy family was contacted by LDS missionaries. They eventually accepted the gospel and were baptized.

   

"They were accused of having abandoned the faith of their fathers, consorting with foreigners, and selling poisoned food in their store. Even local religious leaders ridiculed them. Some townspeople began painting graffiti on the walls of their home, while others boycotted their store. Despite these trials, the family stood firm with an increased commitment to the Church.

   

"Rafael had been a member only three months when the civil war forced the evacuation of all foreign missionaries from Mexico. Before leaving Mexico, President Pratt ordained Brother Monroy to the Melchizedek Priesthood and set him apart as president of the San Marcos branch. . . .

   

"The Zapatistas eventually arrested President Monroy and his three sisters for associating with North Americans and for allegedly being in league with the Constitutionalists. The Zapatistas also arrested Vicente Morales, who had married into the Monroy family and served with Rafael in the San Marcos branch presidency.

   

"Acting on erroneous reports that the Morales family was hiding guns and ammunition, the Zapatistas ransacked the family store. Finding no weapons, they demanded that the men 'give up their arms.' Brothers Monroy and Morales were beaten after they presented their scriptures in reply. Later, they were told their lives would be spared if they would denounce their faith. When they refused, they were executed. One author wrote of the family's loss:

   

"'It had rained most of the night, and the air was damp. Jesucita Monroy had not slept and was out on the street early, pleading with the officers of the Zapatista army. . . . Her early morning appeal was successful, and the Zapatistas released her three daughters from army custody. After getting two of her daughters home, Jesucita and her oldest, Guadalupe, went to the place where the two executions had taken place the evening before. Already burdened with emotion and grief, these two women began the task of moving the . . . bodies of their son and brother, Rafael, and their nephew-in-law and cousin-in-law, Vicente Morales, home to prepare for the funeral and burial. Victims of the brutality of a civil war in Mexico, these two men had lost their lives in the violence they had deplored. For many members of the family and for many friends, Rafael and Vicente became examples of faith and dedication to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.'"

 

Activity:

Mark a two lines on the floor, five feet apart, with tape. Give each person five washers and have them take turns tossing them from behind one line toward the goal line. The person who gets his washer across the line, but closest to it, wins all the washers tossed during that turn. The person who finally gets all the washers wins. Explain that the people who remain closest to the Lord will receive the greatest rewards.

"Commitment" While I enjoy photography, I also like playing the mandolin. I have the computer and books set up with the main lighting on the instruments and penny board to show that I have to commit to this work so that I can stay committed to the things I love to do. I used a small LED lamp to illuminate the computer and roommate, and a warm desk lamp to illuminate the instruments in the back. My Canon T5i was set at: ISO 1600, Aperture 3.5, Shutter speed 1/100th

Coco Johnsen’s collections are designed downtown in her Los Angeles atelier, and then expertly produced in Brazil and Los Angeles utilizing only the finest fabric, trims, and materials.

Selecting to purchase a home in San Diego is a huge commitment, so you’ll wish to discover a neighborhood that fits your way of life.

 

That’s why we’re taking this chance to take a more detailed check out different areas throughout the city to aid you in tightening your search.

 

Mission Hills began as one man’s desired area and hasn’t lost its beauty.

 

Here are six factors Mission Hills can be the perfect area for you.

 

Right here’s a quick review of our list:

 

Factor 1 – Location, Location, Location

 

With views of Old Town, downtown, and San Diego Bay, what’s not to love about the area of Mission Hills?

 

A pamphlet written by the Inspiration Heights realty business back in 1907, developed to offer great single-home deals in the location, summed it up well:

 

” At your feet exists the Harbor, its mirror of amethyst held secure from the surges of the external sapphire sea by the enormous joint of Point Loma, as well as the lengthy low reaches of Coronado, whose gleaming line is worried by the stunning towers of the world-famed hotel … wanting to the west, you see initially, the little ‘Old Town’ of San Diego and also the community of Pacific Beach, after that Mission Bay separated by the ocean by a silvery hair versus which the breakers are constantly pounding and also foaming.”

 

A few features have contributed to this idealistic description in the century approximately, considering that it was created, but you obtain an idea of the suitable nature of the area.

 

According to Neighborhood Scout, most homeowners drive to work from this area north of downtown, but the average commute is a mere fifteen to thirty minutes. Public transport options are also offered.

 

Reason 2 – The Perfect Place for Architecture Lovers

 

Love home with a touch of background? Mission Hills is the area for you.

 

The Mission Hills neighborhood prides itself on a collection of properly maintained and meticulously brought back houses, which provide a thorough history of the location’s biggest names in style. More than 320 of these houses have been recognized as marked historic homes.

 

Hearkening back to its earliest growth phase, architectural masterpieces by very early 20th century designers consisting of William Hebbard, William Templeton Johnson, Emmor Brooke Weaver, Nathan Rigdon, Richard Requa, and Joel E. Brown are still standing.

 

If the mid-century layout is your favorite, residences created by popular engineers such as Lloyd Ruocco, Homer Delawie, John Lloyd Wright, and Sim Bruce Richards stay from the 1950s to the 1960s.

 

The area includes two historic districts, the Fort Stockton Line Historic District and the Mission Hills Historic District. Mission Hills Heritage is a regional organization that protects this distinct collection of cottage, Craftsman, grassy field institutions, Spanish revival, Mission rebirth, and Colonial rebirth homes.

 

Naturally, the making of a lovely community includes its landscaping. Also, Mission Hills flaunts its legend, Kate Sessions, with many debts with being accountable for the location’s starting, thanks to her vast baby room. Founded in 1910, a smaller version still leaves today, supplying the location with beautiful vegetation and a mug of coffee when you require a break from beautifying.

 

Factor 3 – Withstands The Ups and the Downs of The Market.

 

After the 2008 economic downturn, numerous customers were concerned about how well the value of their investment will hold up against volatile markets.

 

Boasting residences with a mean list price of $1.17 million and an average list price of 1.48 million, according to Redfin, it’s an easy-to-understand issue.

 

Using background as an overview is motivating for potential Mission Hills buyers. The location prospered throughout the 2008 downturn, and experts are certain this treasure of an area will certainly hold its value for a long time to come.

 

Reason 4 – Everything You Need Within Walking Distance

 

We’ve already stated the brief commute, but when you’re not at the office, everything you need is a walk away. Redfin gives the location a 70% walkability score.

 

Enterprise zone, including restaurants, watering holes, and various solutions, line West Washington Street from Hillcrest and Goldfinch Street. You’ll find several store stores and hair salons, too. Close-by Hillcrest brags supermarket, several dining establishments, and the museums, restaurants, and stores of Old Town are also within strolling range.

 

If it’s music you’re looking for, Mission Hills is home to among San Diego’s last independent song stores. Audiophiles can undergo the plastic, CD, and tape collections of M Theory Music, pay attention to a few examples, and even catch free online shows.

 

For all-natural beauty, take a walk with Pioneer Park, a community center with a haunted background.

 

Pioneer Park was once the house of Calvary Cemetery, among the oldest cemeteries in San Diego and the last house of greater than 4,000 early San Diego residents. While a few old headstones can be seen nearby, the bodies themselves weren’t disrupted when it was changed into the park in 1970.

A joint African Union-United Nations delegation has concluded a three-day visit to South Sudan, expressing hope for “full cessation of hostilities” and a promise to “hold accountable” those who may derail the peace process.

Speaking to journalists in the capital, Juba, they said the signing of the revitalized peace agreement in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 12 September 2018 “is the starting point of the hard work,” and that their visit sought to hear from the Government, civil society, women’s organizations and others about what needed to be done immediately in support of the agreement.

“The implementation of the peace agreement is primarily a responsibility for South Sudanese,” said the Under-Secretary-General for UN Peacekeeping Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix. “And I think the partners of South Sudan are keen to see a few things materialize on the ground, particularly the cessation of hostilities which would be, of course, so important – a full cessation of hostilities,” he added.

African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security, Ambassador Smail Chergui, acknowledged there would be challenges ahead, but warned, “let us just take note today that everybody wants to implement that agreement faithfully and we will [hold] accountable anyone going the other route.”

During their visit, the delegation said they had a chance to see first-hand and talk to some of those who had suffered years of conflict.

“The population has suffered tremendously,” said the UN Peacekeeping chief, Lacroix, adding, “We are looking forward to further improvement in the security situation and other such positive signals that will certainly generate confidence and mobilization from the international community.”

Listing various expectations from the women she met, UN Women’s top official said women wanted to be included in the security sector reforms which would include greater participation and contribution by women in securing the country.

“They also wanted to encourage the Government to interact with them directly so that they, too, can have an opportunity to exchange directly with Government about their expectations and get additional assurance about the future which they are very excited about,” said the Executive Director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka.

“They also want to make sure they take advantage of the 35% participation provision and they would put it on themselves to find the best candidates to fill in those positions,” she told journalists, adding that the women “want to go back to being economically productive citizens.”

The delegation had earlier met with various government officials, reiterating their support for the revitalized peace agreement.

“[It] was good to hear from both the UN [and AU] representatives about the commitment of the UN to support the peace process and they are waiting to see us giving important signals, milestones that prove our commitment and seriousness in implementing this agreement,” said Cabinet Affairs Minister, Martin Elia Lomuro after his closed-door meeting with the delegation, adding, “We have also heard from the African Union about their desire to participate with us in the security sector reform.”

He said the government was committed to implementing what it had signed, including the 35 per cent quota for women.

“That agreement was an agreement by all of us. They didn’t have to fight for it. They should remain calm and trust those in charge – particularly the members of the national review committee who will be ensuring that the objectives of the agreement are followed,” he said, voicing the government’s reassurance on an issue that was at the centre of the delegation’s visit.
