110: Blanketing 1,000,000 Homeless with Bob Dalton from Sackcloth & Ashes
Have you walked down the street and seen a homeless person and thought: "they just need to get a job"? You're not alone. Bob Dalton also thought this before his well-educated, hard-working mother became homeless in 2013. It was at this time that Bob decided he needed to do something not just to help his mom, but to help the homeless. This episode is the story of how Bob founded his company Sackcloth and Ashes that gives away tens of thousands of blankets to the homeless each month. Bob is an inspiration because he has used his strengths of creativity and entrepreneurship to fighting against an injustice in the world. We talk about how he was contacted by Instagram - YES Instagram - to feature his Instagram account, gaining them 20,000 followers overnight. This launched his business to the next level. For Bob it was bigger than just selling blankets or giving blankets to shelters. It was about building a legacy of something bigger than himself. What can you do to build a legacy bigger than yourself? Listen to this episode to be inspired to grow, to work hard for something you believe in and to make the world a better place.

102: Finding Your Reason To Live with Seth Adam Smith
Today I interviewed Seth Adam Smith, a dear friend and amazing human being (read more about him below). Seth is a suicide survivor who has turned his life into a message to inspire people who struggle to have a reason to live. In this episode Seth talks briefly about his suicide attempt and how the world inside his head was very different from the real world around him. This didn't become evident until he was in the hospital. We talked about the idea of enjoying the paths of life slowly and how happiness is a season of emotion. Seasons are temporary and they also return so if we remember this, we will be more able to deal with the days of winter in our lives. About Seth: Seth Adam Smith is a best-selling and award winning author and blogger whose writings have been translated into over thirty languages and featured on the Huffington Post, Good Morning America, Fox News, CNN, the Today show, Forbes, and many other news outlets around the world. He wrote an article entitled "Marriage Isn't For You" that has been viewed over 100 million times across the internet and translated into languages all over the world. When his article went viral, he instantly was approached by publications and people who wanted him to write about marriage or about how to go viral. But this isn't what Seth was passionate about. He started to really ask himself "how do I make an impact?" Seth has been working since then to go from from viral blogger to suicide awareness activist. He has since given a TEDx talk and has written books, including Your Life Isn't for You, which was awarded a gold medal for inspirational memoir. A suicide survivor himself, Seth is an advocate for resources and understanding concerning depression and suicide prevention, and he regularly writes about these topics in his books and on his blog.

However, our breathing patterns are correlated with our subconscious mind and we can use our breath to help push our mind from anxious and tense places back to focused and calm places. I hope you find this episode helpful to get you thinking about your breath and how you can use it to make your life better. You can't breathe in the past or the future, so it is a great way to stay present and stop worrying and ruminating. Just breathe. Here are some of the things I mentioned in the episode: The SPIRE stone (breath tracking device): https://amzn.to/2SaX577 The Art of Breathing: https://amzn.to/2DWcF3j Breathe, by Dr. Belisa Vranich: https://amzn.to/2S9Fz3a Here is Dr. Vranich's TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sgb2cUqFiY Reference to the study on breathing changing your salivary makeup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIfwbEvXtwo The Telomere Effect: https://amzn.to/2DTab65 If you're interested in getting certified in positive psychology like I am, here is the group I'm in: https://sc230.isrefer.com/go/cappla/andyp/ You can join any of the programs across the US and Canada or online.

85: Overcoming Fear With Taekwondo National Champion Samery Moras
How do you overcome the fears that come when you set BIG goals? Today's guest Samery Moras talks about how she has overcome huge obstacles and fears as she has won title after title in her Taekwondo competitions. Samery started walking with a sparring helmet. Her parents ran a martial arts studio and it has been in her life forever. However, she wasn't always a champion. "When I was younger, I was the girl crying in the bleachers and losing." What most people don't realize is that all champions start somewhere. It wasn't really until six years ago that Samery really got into Taekwondo and started to really compete. She didn't like it before because when you compete, you get hit and getting hit hurts. But she had big dreams and wanted to start winning. So she kept going. I also loved hearing about when she got injured couldn't train or compete for a year. She talked about how this was hard to let go, but she still found a way to do what she loved, just from a different angle - recording matches and posting them on YouTube. Because of this, she started to gain followers on social media and now her mission is to inspired kids to have BIG goals and to work hard on them. She shares this message on YouTube and Instagram. And she does it well because she was just selected as a 2018 YouTube NextUp creator, by YouTube! Amazing.

83: Believing an Inner Lie Creates Unhappiness: With Best-Selling Author Kim Fiske
We all have a little voice inside our head that is telling us a story. Most of just let that voice chatter uncontrollably. The problem is that the voice tends to get more and more negative over the years until we begin to live according to a story that is not even true. We literally begin to live a lie. Today I interviewed Kim Fiske, best-selling author of The Monster Under The Bed: Uncovering the Lie That Drives Us. We covered a lot in this interview, but the main takeaway for me was that living according to a story that isn't true creates instant and constant unhappiness. This is a longer episode, but really got down to the truths that should drive us. Here are a few: "Just because we think it, doesn't mean it's the truth." "You can never get enough of what you never needed to begin with." "Learn to separate thought from the truth." "Love is awareness without judgement."

79: How Your Poop 💩 Affects Your Happiness - Aubrey Phelps from BIOHM
There is a strong correlation between our gut health and our mental health. From personal experience with my wife and myself, we have seen the direct correlation between our gut microbiome and our happiness and health. I have been curious about this for a while so I have been testing my fecal samples with multiple companies. I reached out to one that I thought was very interesting called Biohm (https://biohmhealth.com/) They agreed to send me a kit to do a test and sequence a sample of my feces. In this episode I actually go over the results of my test! (don't get grossed out - it's not too bad). Aubrey Phelps, the director of wellness at Biohm was kind enough to jump on a call with me and answer all my questions about the gut-brain connection as well as tell me more about my own gut health. I really hope this inspires you to start thinking about your own happiness from the standpoint of your gut health and digestion!

74: Authenticity Discussion With Suze (The Authenticity Challenge)
Today I chatted with Suze from The Authenticity Challenge. We had a discussion about authenticity. This is really a hot topic for me. Social media almost forces anyone who uses it to have two different selves to live up to and if we aren't careful we can lose track of who we really are. Suze is pretty audacious in her adventures of authenticity and she is passionate about sharing this audacity with others. We were able to talk through some of these things and other questions like: How do you deal with people who don't like you when you are authentic to who you really are? I love what came from this one and genuinely enjoyed our conversation. I believe strongly that to be truly happy, we need to find our unique life mission. And to find our mission, it is crucial to be true to who we are. Find Suze on social media here: https://www.instagram.com/adventuresofsuze https://twitter.com/_susannahwilson

71: Seven Ways to BEAT LONELINESS from the Perspective of a Man
Studies show that chronic loneliness can be worse for your health than smoking 15 cigarettes per day. So why aren't we focusing on beating it? Today's episode is close to home for me. Andy Proctor, the one who is all about social media and connecting thousands of people and helping them to be happier, has suffered from loneliness for years. Yes, that's me. I have wrestled with this ever since I was divorced and then I really struggled with it when a mental health event created a major faith crisis for me. I didn't feel like I could reach out and I didn't know how to be when I did reach out. These 7 strategies are things that I have either practiced or I am trying to figure out how to practice, but that I believe are ways to exit the land of the lonely. I hope they help you, especially if you are a man who feels there is no way to express himself to anyone without being seen as weak or socially unacceptable.

66: Marathon Mindsets From US Olympian Jared Ward
This week's episode is an interview with Olympic marathon runner Jared Ward. Marathons are so commonly used as metaphors for life, so I thought it would be powerful to interview an actual olympic marathon runner to see how the research in positive psychology lines up with the marathon running of someone who has run on a United States Olympic team. I learned SO much from Jared on our call. Things like: -The "can do" mindset and being empowered by the reality that the best possible outcome CAN happen. -Being present in your mind by repeating mindful phrases over and over. -Success comes from the scaffolding of your relationships -The powerful galvanizing effect of making important decisions once. -Feeling a sense of calling in life may not just come to you, but you might just have to choose it. -Doing YOUR best rather than being THE best. This is an episode you'll want to listen to all the way through!

Did you know we provide a choreography DVD for our Spanish customers? We began producing a Spanish choreography video for VBS 2010: Saddle Ridge Ranch. I'm so thankful to Angel Ortiz and Elizabeth Works, fellow LifeWay employees, who always are on set to interpret! Otherwise, I would have no idea what's being said! It gets comical at times.
Constanza, our terrific on-camera host, listens to the English music and watches the choreography DVD. Then, she learns the Spanish songs and alters the choreography as needed. (Sometimes, there is no Spanish word that exactly matches the English word, so the songs and choreography have to be altered.)
The DVD is available in the Spanish Sampler (EBV 2013 Muestrario en español), product number 005490073, $69.99. Be sure to share this news with your Spanish congregations!

Tech learning art of secret money
Google, Microsoft, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and other digital heavyweights increasingly are borrowing a favorite technique from the world of politics: secret money.
These top tech executives and their companies are embracing stealth, not-for-profit campaigns that can advertise and advance their pet causes — from tax and immigration reform to new online privacy laws — without ever disclosing a single donation.
Story Continued Below
The groups are known by their tax designation, 501(c)(4), and until recently, they've been the domain of entrenched players such as Karl Rove and the Koch brothers. But interest on Capitol Hill in regulating the burgeoning tech sector has convinced Silicon Valley's power brokers they too must adopt a form of political advocacy that once would have been anathema to the Washington-wary industry.
( PHOTOS: Mark Zuckerberg with pols)
The most prominent new example is FWD.us, the Zuckerberg-helmed collection of tech luminaries pumping millions of dollars into local television markets with ads promoting immigration reform to oil drilling. It joins a list of groups — from a Microsoft-backed immigration effort, to a Google-supported privacy campaign — that are also playing the D.C. secret-money game.
If anything, the evolution highlights something of an irony: Even as Zuckerberg and other tech titans proselytize openness, many have closed off any public access to the full extent of their influence operations.
"Just like we've seen the tech world get slowly into lobbying … now we're seeing them get deeper into the Washington game," said Melanie Sloan, the executive director of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
The Supreme Court's Citizens United case increased the attention on secret money because it allowed corporations and special interests to donate unlimited sums to oppose or support political candidates.
Under federal law, 501(c)(4) organizations are supposed to be primarily devoted to "social welfare." The groups may take on political causes — unlike traditional nonprofits — but advocacy can't be their chief, sole function. The big draw for many companies, though, is that these groups aren't required to reveal their financial backers to the IRS. That differs from super PACs, for example, which must disclose contributions to the Federal Election Commission.
( PHOTOS: Republican money men)
Tech companies' efforts certainly aren't as aggressive or robust as what Washington has come to expect during campaign season. But FWD.us still represents an evolution in the Valley's thinking.

March 14, 2014, COLLEGE PARK, Md. (ISN) – Maryland stranded 14 base runners and North Carolina starter Trent Thornton scattered six hits over seven shutout innings as the 13th-ranked Tar Heels won game one of the weekend series 7-0 at Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium Friday.
Maryland (10-5, 1-3 ACC) put runners in scoring position in the first, second and third innings and loaded the bases in the sixth, seventh and eighth, but were unable to push anyone across. Each time the Terps threatened Thornton buckled down and worked his way out of the jam. The sophomore righty finished with eight strikeouts, two shy of his career high.
Terrapin starter Jake Stinnett was the victim of the long ball Friday night. The Tar Heels (13-4, 3-1 ACC) hit three home runs, all of which were solo shots, including back-to-back homers to start the third inning. Designated hitter Tom Zengel had two solo homers in the effort and finished 3-for-3.
North Carolina broke the deadlock in the third beginning with home runs from Joe Dudek and Zengel. Michael Russell increased the Tar Heel lead to three with a RBI double down the left field line and later scored on a throwing error to make it 4-0.
UNC tacked on a run in the sixth when Zengel hit his second home run of the game and added runs in the seventh and eighth, respectively, on sacrifice flies.
Maryland attempted to cut into the deficit in the sixth after singles by Nick Cieri and Kevin Martir loaded the bases. But Thornton struck out the next two hitters. In the seventh, a single by Krysthian Leal, a LaMonte Wade walk and an error loaded the bases once again. This time, Thornton got Mike Rescigno swinging and Cieri to pop up to end the threat.
Against reliever Reilly Hovis in the eighth, two walks and an Andrew Amaro single loaded the bases with two outs. But Hovis preserved the shutout by getting Wade on strikes.
Thornton earned the win and improved to 5-0. Stinnett took the loss after going six innings and giving up four earned runs with six strikeouts to drop his record to 2-3. The series continues Saturday with the Terps and Tar Heels set for a 2 p.m. first pitch from Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium.

North-West Gas Precinct Agreement
|James Price Point, the Kimberley, Western Australia, Australia
|Click this link to search this location with google maps
|Legal Status:
|This is an in principle agreement. Negotiations to finalise the agreement are currently underway.
|Subject Matter:
|Access | Agriculture | Aquaculture | Compensation | Consultation | Economic Development | Education | Employment and Training | Environmental Heritage | Exploration | Fishing | Forestry | Future Act | Health and Community Services | Horticulture | Housing, Construction and Infrastructure | Land Management | Land Use | Marine | Oil and Gas | Recognition Agreement / Acknowledgement | Recognition of Traditional Rights and Interests | Youth
|Summary Information:
|On 27 April 2009 an in-principle agreement was signed by the State of Western Australia, Woodside Petroleum and the Traditional Owners of the land at James Price Point, the Kimberley, allowing Woodside Petroleum Ltd to build a gas hub at that site. The final agreement is currently being negotiated and is expected to be completed late in 2009 but may be delayed further. The final agreement is subject to environmental assessments and will require that Woodside pay compensation to the Traditional Owners of the land.
|Detailed Information:
For Woodside Petroleum Ltd to build a gas hub at James Price Point in the Kimberley to provide gas to the area as well as job opportunities and economic growth to the Kimberley region, while providing compensation to the Traditional Owners of the land.
Key Objectives and Principles
In 2007, Woodside proposed that a gas plant be built somewhere along the Kimberley shoreline. 16 months of consultation ensued between the State of Western Australia, Traditional Owners and Woodside, facilitated by the Kimberley Land Council. It was decided that James Price Point would be the most appropriate site for the proposed gas plant (Bergmann & Davey).
After much consideration, on 15 April 2009, over 100 Traditional Owners of the land at that site, the Goolarabooloo Jabirr Jabirr people, voted in favour of the gas development being built at James Price Point.
On 29 April 2009 an in-principle agreement to build the gas plant was signed between the Goolarabooloo Jabirr Jabirr people, the State of Western Australia and Woodside.
This gas project is predicted to last 30 years and be worth 185 billion dollars. It is expected that the development will create lots of training jobs and business opportunities including 6000 fly-in fly-out jobs and hundreds of positions for local indigenous groups (The Australian).
The agreement signed is only an agreement-in-principle. The final agreement is subject to the following:
- Heritage assessments regarding the land around James Price Point to be carried out in great detail by the Kimberley Land Council and Traditional Owners
- All the required environmental assessments
- The signing of an ILUA (Indigenous Land Use Agreement) (Kimberley Land Council)
It has been suggested that the agreement will be finalised in December 2009 but there is some expectation that the process will continue into 2011. (Bergmann & Davey)

Making a finished basement into a place where all members of the family will find something to do starts with deciding how the room will be used. A basement family room may provide relaxation for adults, but children will want a play area and budding teen musicians need a place to practice.
When HGTV designer Candace Olson took on such a project, she began by dividing a finished basement into separate zones for relaxation, music and a wet bar.
"By creating different zones for different needs, adding furniture and flooring, and topping it off with vibrant accents and details, this basement got an injection of style the whole family can enjoy," she told the design channel."
Practical Concerns
Between entertaining visitors and family activities, upholstered furniture can take a beating when it's used all the time. Using slipcovers gives the upholstery a rest and adds a different look to the room.
"Dark upholstery pieces that create a warm, inviting atmosphere in the winter months may seem a bit too warm for spring and summer. [The solution is] white slipcovers, which can create a cool haven for those hot, humid days," interior designer Shari Hiller, co-author of Real Decorating for Real People, told HGTV.
Having enough light and heat in a basement room is another practical consideration. Installing electric in floor heating is an energy-efficient solution that generates radiant heat throughout the space. It also allows homeowners to arrange furniture freely without blocking air ducts, which aren't needed for heated floors.
Since basement windows are often smaller than those at street level, a window treatment should be chosen to maximize the natural light available during the day and to provide privacy at night. For a ground-level basement with sliding glass doors leading to the outside, or a basement with large windows, vertical blinds can be adjusted to allow different amounts of light into the room.
Room for Hobbies
A finished basement can provide plenty of space for hobbyists to indulge their special interests, whether they're model trains, woodworking or arts and crafts.
According to HandyDirectory.com, one of the benefits of installing a crafts center or a layout for a train in the basement is the amount of space available. Shelving can be installed for storing supplies and tools, and a work area can be spread out.
Once the practical needs of the hobby room are met, comfortable seating should be available for both the hobbyist and visitors. Accessorizing can revolve around the hobby.
