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.
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.
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.
Rebecca Sharrock: Just anything I've experienced through my five senses and also emotions, too. So, any smell I get, any sight I see, also physical sensations, too. I can relive the pain of injuries and I can also relive pleasant tastes of food I like.
Donna Lu: It seems almost unbelievable that you can remember things from when you were very, very young, and I guess there's no way of verifying it. Do you have people ask you who are bit skeptical about those memories? What do you say to those people?
Donna Lu: So that's pretty much all of the questions that I had. Becky, do you have any more general comments about your experience, or is there anything that you'd like people to know about what it's like to have HSAM?
Gail Robinson: Yeah. Well, if we think about Rebecca, she doesn't tend to think in photographs. So, for example, the Harry Potter: if you ask her about that, it's not photographs that she's thinking of; she's not looking at a page in the book. She's actually clueing in to the auditory words and the meaning, and it's a word-for-word type of memory that she has.
Donna Lu: That was UQ's Associate Professor Gail Robinson speaking about Rebecca Sharrock's Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory. That's all for this episode. I'm Donna Lu, and our podcast is produced by Zoe McDonald. We're on Facebook and Twitter, and if you like what you heard please give us a review on iTunes. We'd really appreciate it. Thanks for listening!
Recently, Edge implemented an option so that when you open a previosuly opened pdf, it will remember position and zoom of the last time. See this (Microsoft Edge Remember where you left off in PDFs) . This is useful but not always, so i would like an option to disable this option. It can be annoying when comparing two files when making a pdf work.
@Alexandra-R : I created an account to go Kiosk mode with Microsoft edge, turned on this setting for PDF , however PDFs still scroll up to 1st page when I do back and forth between 2 pdfs. Any suggestions? Does Kisok mode need to have separate settings?
I remember that the principal victims of McCarthyism in the world of cinema were the filmmakers Cyril Entfield, John Berry, Jules Dassin, and Joseph Losey, as well as the script-writer Dalton Trumbo. All of them went into exile, except Dalton Trumbo, who was obliged to work under assumed names for several years.
I remember that Audie Murphy was the most decorated American soldier of the Second World War and that he became an actor after having played himself in a (mediocre) film recounting his heroic exploits.
I remember that once the counter and the kitchen area of the restaurant La Petite Source in Boulevard Saint-Germain were situated on the right of the entrance and not, as now, on the left in the back.
Actors face the demanding task of learning their lines with great precision, but they rarely do so by rote repetition. They did not, they said, sit down with a script and recite their lines until they knew them by heart. Repeating items over and over, called maintenance rehearsal, is not the most effective strategy for remembering. Instead, actors engage in elaborative rehearsal, focusing their attention on the meaning of the material and associating it with information they already know. Actors study the script, trying to understand their character and seeing how their lines relate to that character. In describing these elaborative processes, the actors assembled that evening offered sound advice for effective remembering.
