Feeling exhausted, confused, and stressed out? This has been another tough year, and we may have survived intense emotions and spiritual pain. The Rev. Earl Johnson joins me to offer guidance on maintaining hope and relationships with people and things that matter, finding comfort during hard times, and entering the new year with hope. As the national spiritual care manager for the American Red Cross, Rev. Earl E. Johnson, recruited, screened, trained, and deployed highly credentialed healthcare chaplains to mass fatality events for ten years. From plane crashes to school shootings, Johnson was part of a team that assessed and planned emotional and spiritual support for the victims and loved ones of these horrific unanticipated events. Johnson has appeared on MSNBC and CNN to advocate for families of those lost in the Malaysian air incident. He lectured at Michigan State, Michigan, and Radford/Virginia Tech disaster preparedness conferences. In the past decade, he coordinated professional spiritual care support to fatal domestic aviation incidents, massive Gulf hurricanes including Katrina, Rita, and Gus, the Virginia Tech shootings, and Orlando. Johnson is the author of Finding Comfort During Hard Times, one of the ten best health and wellness books of 2021, according to Booklist of the American Library Association.

Today we talk about honey and its amazing health benefits, and we're going to show that it's a lot more than just sugar. I talk about the background and history of honey and how it was used throughout the ages, health benefits as seen in scientific literature, key components of what to look for in honey when we go to the store, and then looking toward the future with honey. It has been found that honey is a great remedy for herpes simplex virus and the wound healing properties are tremendous. Studies show that honey can greatly improve athletic performance and overall physical health and healing. Using honey in place of other sugars lowers the risk of diabetes or other glucose related issues with health. Honey origins and compounds 1:03Human food and medicinal uses 3:07Scientific literature 5:22Honey and sport performance 10:39Blood pressure 14:22The microbiome 15:12A cough suppressant and allergy prevention 18:01What to look for in a honey 20:04“Many studies, like one recently published in 2017 on Malaysian honey, show that daily consumption of honey caused a reduction in weight and also controlled the same metabolic parameters mentioned above, meaning blood glucose levels, cholesterol levels, body weight, which are all symptoms of metabolic syndrome. So honey is really good for metabolic health.” 15:03

Ebony Louise Barrett has now become Fridge Girl, after a video she put on TikTok went viral. It was a tall, free-standing fridge falling on top of her as she danced. She's OK, but even Janet Jackson has picked up on it. How has it changed her life?

History of the World Kite Museum The World Kite Museum and Hall of Fame has its roots in the local community. In the mid 1980's a group of kite enthusiasts began to discuss the idea of forming a museum dedicated to kites and kite flyers. The group met informally and developed a plan of action. They researched building opportunities, nonprofit status requirements, storage facilities, and other basic details that were needed to establish a museum. The group was eager to create a place where people could go to learn about kite history and see kiting displays. kite-museum history Several auspicious things happened during this period of development: 1989 was the Washington State's 100th birthday and with this celebration came an initiative focused on developing museums and history preserving organizations. There were many workshops offered by the state to encourage upgrading and fostering museums. Our developing museum board picked areas that interested them and attended. We learned about how to run a gift shop, accession artifacts, write a mission statement, goals, and objectives, recommended storage techniques, 501 c 3 status – all these topics of importance to an new museum organization. Also in 1989 the David Checkley's widow donated his collection of 700 Japanese, Chinese and Malaysian kites to the World Kite Museum. The 300 Japanese kites in the collection are considered the most complete collection of Japanese kites outside of Japan. Our first exhibit, “The History of Kites in Washington State”, was a week long affair in the Long Beach City Council rooms during the 1989 Washington State International Kite Festival. This same year a famous Japanese kite maker Eiji Ohashi also brought kite-making materials to Long Beach. With the help of World Kite Museum volunteers every child at Long Beach Elementary made a flyable Japanese kite. The Museum had begun with an exhibit, a unique kite display on the beach, and a school kite making class. Due to the success of these exhibits and activities the museum believed a freestanding building was necessary to house the collection. Jim Buesing went to the City of Long Beach with a proposal for the use of the Coulter home in the southwest corner of the one half block of beach cottage vacation rental property the city had acquired. Through the assistance of the City of Long Beach this building became the Museum home from 1990-2004. By August 1990, led by Buesing, the inside of the home plus the two rental rooms attached became a four-room exhibit space. The kitchen morphed into an admission desk and gift shop. The bathroom, tub and sink removed were computer room and print, picture, video and book storage. The laundry room stored kites not on exhibit. One of the exhibit rooms was designated as the Long Beach room. It was a nostalgic place for festival participants. Admission included the ability to make a kite to fly, from materials provided by the museum, a tradition which the current museum still promises. During the 14 years the World Kite Museum was in this location the museum grew their community partnerships – using the Long Beach Elementary gymnasium for adult workshops and bringing cultural experiences to their students. We also worked closely with Long Beach Peninsula Merchant Associations, providing programs for local clubs and libraries. We developed in house programs and activities like membership drives, quarterly newsletters, demonstrations, and traveling exhibits. Little did we know that running into each other in our crowded building cause us to make so many new and wonderful friends. As the museum grew we began to search for a larger space to accommodate the needs of the collection and the visitors. A 10,360 square foot, two-story building was available on Sid Snyder Drive in late 2004.

On 16 August 2021, Muhyiddin Yaseen resigned as Prime Minister of Malaysia, with Ismail Sabri Yaakub sworn in as the new Prime Minister a week later, making him Malaysia's third Prime Minister in two years. This marked the return to power of UMNO, or the United Malays National Organisation, and the graft-tainted coalition that had been ousted from power in 2018. Meanwhile, another former Prime Minister, Najib Razak, is eyeing a return to Parliament, notwithstanding a conviction and 12-year prison sentence for abuse of power and ongoing trials for corruption.

BIO: Jimmy Lee is a Venture Builder and Humanitarian. STORY: Jimmy and his partner got into a partnership with two other businesses for a huge project that would bring them big returns. One of the businesses wanted Jimmy to collude with them and kick the third company out of the project. He refused and got cut out of the project, losing everything he had invested in it. LEARNING: Get your downpayment at the start of the project. When you receive help, pay it forward.   “If you have a firm belief in yourself, and you know what you want to do, you should go for it. Things will come into place eventually.”Jimmy Lee  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyleefoodieboxgroup/ (Jimmy Lee) is a Venture Builder and Humanitarian. Believe in yourself, and you can make the impossible possible! Worst investment everJimmy was introduced to entrepreneurship by chance by a friend. He went into it without experience, capital, or contacts—just a law degree and an idea. His first startup was a creative agency doing motion videos. Within four years, he grew the business into a multi-million business. The year 2007 was a very great year for Jimmy and his business partner because they got two huge projects. They were engaged as a contractor for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Malaysia. Their job was to project the first prime minister in a hologram. The following year, everything fell apart. Jimmy's company got into a partnership with two other companies. Jimmy got called for a secret meeting with one of the companies and was told not to inform the other company. He went for the meeting with his partner out of curiosity. The value of the project was about 4.5 million Malaysian ringgit. The other company wanted to sideline the third company and divide the profit between their company and Jimmy's. Jimmy and his partner said no to that idea because it was unethical. A week later, Jimmy's company got terminated from the project. All the payments he was supposed to receive had been pending due diligence, and now he couldn't get paid. He lost everything overnight. They had focused on that one huge project for the past few months, and many resources went to it. Lessons learnedDon't give up even when you face failure and other hurdles. Get your downpayment money at the onset of the project. Andrew's takeawaysPeople do help people sometimes out of the blue. Once somebody has helped you out of the blue, you have an obligation to pay that forward. Actionable adviceContinue exploring opportunities and learn from your failures and be better. From that, you can do something even bigger. No. 1 goal for the next 12 monthsJimmy's number one goal for the next 12 months is to set up a venture fund in Singapore. The venture will fund projects focused entirely on food, technology, and social enterprise. Parting words  “Do things that are out of the box. Don't be afraid because sometimes it's just internal fear. So be bold and mighty force will come to your aid.”Jimmy Lee  [spp-transcript]   Connect with Jimmy Leehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyleefoodieboxgroup/ (LinkedIn) https://twitter.com/jimmyleebg (Twitter) https://foodiebox.group/ (Website) Andrew's bookshttps://amzn.to/3qrfHjX (How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market) https://amzn.to/2PDApAo (My Worst Investment Ever) https://amzn.to/3v6ip1Y (9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them) https://amzn.to/3emBO8M (Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming's 14 Points) Andrew's online programshttps://valuationmasterclass.com/ (Valuation Master Class) https://academy.astotz.com/courses/how-to-start-building-your-wealth-investing-in-the-stock-market (How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market) https://academy.astotz.com/courses/finance-made-ridiculously-simple (Finance Made Ridiculously Simple) https://academy.astotz.com/courses/gp (Become a Great Presenter and Increase Your Influence)...

Tens of thousands across the world have signed a change.org petition pleading to Singapore President Halimah Yacob for clemency over an intellectually-disabled Malaysian man on death row. Nagaenthran K Dharmalingam was arrested in Singapore for drug trafficking aged 21 and has been on death row for a decade. Now 33, Nagaenthran reportedly suffers from ADHD and has an IQ of 69, which has prompted rights groups across the Singapore-Malaysia border to appeal against the ruling.
