The Lord will want to know, Are you his disciple? Have you taken upon yourself his name, both by covenant and by your conduct? Is his image in your countenance (Alma 5: 14)? Does his light and love radiate from your soul such that when you see him you are like him (Moro. 7: 48; see also 1 John 3:2)? Have you been quickened by a portion of celestial glory so that you are prepared to receive a fullness (D&C 88:29)? In short, whose are you?
SO WHO ARE YOU? You are a child of God. This is your eternal identity. You are the son or daughter of a King. And not just of any King but of the King of Kings who wants to crown you with his glory. You are of royal lineage. Be loyal to the royal within you.
The Lord helps us remember whose we are by binding us to him through covenants. The sacrament is a powerful weekly reminder of whose we truly are. So are our temple covenants. Remember whose you are by making and keeping covenants.
I testify that you are a child of a Heavenly Father. He loves you so much he gave his Only Begotten Son so that through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ you can become his by covenant. And he loves not just you but all of his children; he expects us to love them too.
Over the years I have pondered his question. It has helped me to distinguish the important from the trivial, to remember the important things and to forget the things that have little consequence or that would, by forgetting them, bring a blessing.
Remembering the kindness of others while forgetting their offenses is spiritually much healthier than forgetting their kindness and remembering their offenses. We should keep in mind that even the Lord, who is capable of remembering everything, has promised that He will forget our sins if we repent.
The children of Israel had a hard time remembering these commandments and, because of their forgetfulness, suffered painful consequences. Are we under any less obligation to remember them? As the Lord extended His hand to rescue the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, so also did He offer His life to rescue us from the bondage of sin and death. This we can never forget.
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Third, we are to remember His commandments. In our world, too many look upon the commandments of God as restrictive or punitive. We do not share this opinion. Divine commandments are given to us by a loving Father who desires to bless His children. Obedience to His commandments brings safety and blessings. We often sing:
Keeping the mighty works of God in our memory builds in us knowledge, confidence, and a profound reverence for His magnificent power. On one occasion we stayed overnight in the Austrian Alps. Our lodging was a small guesthouse on the edge of a deep precipice. Across the divide rose a sheer wall of rock thousands of feet high. Early in the evening a fierce storm arose. As thunder and lightning reverberated against the rock wall, the whole valley seemed to shake. With profound respect for the awesome power of God, we could not help but compare our puny experience with the account found in 3 Nephi:
Now, remember who you are. You are a covenant child of God, who loves you and has prepared a way for you to return to Him. Remember that happiness and peace in this life and in the world to come depend upon remembering the principles I have discussed today. Remember to keep your covenants with the Lord in order to claim His promised blessings. Remember that you are precious and of great worth to Him.
I testify of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the saving power of His holy name. I am a witness of His word, His commandments, and His marvelous works. I testify of our need to care for the poor among us. May we so also remember, and do, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Memory researchers used to believe there was just one kind of long-term memory. But in 1972, Endel Tulving, a Canadian psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist, introduced the idea that long-term memory comes in multiple forms. One is semantic memory, which allows us to remember how to spell a word like, say, autonoetic. Years from now, you might recall how to spell it, but maybe not when and where you were when you first came across the word and its definition, perhaps in WIRED.
McKinnon felt too intimidated to contact Tulving himself; he seemed too famous. So instead she set her sights on Brian Levine, a senior scientist at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto who had worked closely with Tulving and whose expertise in episodic and autobiographical memory caught her eye.
In contrast to McKinnon, who has received relatively little press attention, Price became an instant media sensation. Diane Sawyer had her on air twice in one day. Her powers of memory, after all, seemed supremely enviable, superhuman.
No one would look at a phone book now. And our closest equivalent, social media, could be influencing our memory. If anything, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter prompt you to remember more people than you would otherwise because you see their names and faces more often in your feeds.
Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn.
Anyone who needs to remember things in their daily life can benefit from Anki. Since it is content-agnostic and supports images, audio, videos and scientific markup (via LaTeX), the possibilities are endless.
For example:
"The single biggest change that Anki brings about is that it means memory is no longer a haphazard event, to be left to chance. Rather, it guarantees I will remember something, with minimal effort. That is, Anki makes memory a choice."
"I've been using Anki for two years now, and I just wanted to thank you personally for contributing to the single most obvious improvement in my quality of life. I'm not being hyperbolic: consistent use of Anki has opened more doors for me intellectually than I could have imagined two years ago. And being a poor student, I'll be forever grateful that you've provided this software open-source and free of charge."
If you're on an M1/M2/M3 Mac, pick the Apple Silicon version for better performance/battery life. Older machines will need to use the Intel version. Two variants of the Intel version are available: Qt5 vs Qt6.
Anki's source is available on GitHub. There are instructions for building in the docs/ folder. If you encounter problems with the build system please let us know, but please note the expectation is that you are able to dig into basic issues by yourself. If you have no programming experience, please use the packaged version instead.
If you encounter bugs while running Anki from source, please check to see if you can reproduce them in the packaged version, as the Qt version or other libraries on your system can be the cause of some problems.
The Coast Guard Foundation tackles the toughest challenges confronting our heroes. We strengthen the Coast Guard community and service by being there for members and their families, where and when they need it the most.
The Coast Guard Foundation's Run To Remember is a worldwide movement that honors Coast Guard heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country. Each year, thousands of people participate in road races, memorial walks, and other types of fitness events to pay tribute to the lost members of the service.
In remembering those who have died saving lives and defending our nation, words often fall short in recognizing the magnitude of these heroes' sacrifice. In 2011, a small group of dedicated individuals set out to change the way the Coast Guard community remembers the fallen, by proposing a 100 mile "Run to Remember."
The distance not only provided time to reflect, but also brought attention to the story of fallen Coast Guardsmen. And the sweat and pain of the runners symbolized the devotion of those left behind to honor the memory of those lost.
In its inaugural year the event involved a single runner who covered the 100 mile distance from Florida's Key Largo to Key West. Wearing a shirt printed with the names of 20 Coast Guard men and women lost since September 11, 2001, the runner exposed people in every car, town, and roadside stop to their sacrifices and told their stories when asked.
Through sponsorships and donations the runner and his core group of supporters also raised money for the children and spouses left behind, with all proceeds donated to the Coast Guard Foundation's Fallen Heroes Scholarship Fund. Most importantly their actions inspired an entire service.
A year later, the second Run to Remember in Key West was a relay which involved 90 participants, each wearing a shirt with the name of a Coast Guardsman lost in the performance of duty. Instead of a single route through the Florida Keys, multiple routes were planned with 17 units across the country and throughout the world, from Kuwait to Hawaii.
With increased participation came increased donations and demand for the event's primary fundraising tool, t-shirts emblazoned with the phrase "I Run to Remember", which sold out before the event and helped provide a contribution to the Fallen Heroes Scholarship Fund. This second Run to Remember was an epic success and truly set the ground work for the event's future.
Rebecca Sharrock: The 21st July 2007 was a Saturday, and that was a major event of my life personally, because it was the very last day that a book from the Harry Potter series was released. It's when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released as a book.
Rebecca Sharrock: Naturally, the memories come unprompted, or it seems unprompted because I'll just get a scent or I'll see something and subconsciously I'll relive a memory, but I can consciously make myself relive positive memories. Negative too, but who wants to consciously relive negative memories. But I can consciously make myself relive positive memories, but the season has to match for it to work effectively, because there's no point trying to relive a sum of memory today.
