< Back to S.Res. 150 (113th Congress, 2013–2015)

Text of A resolution to designate the year 2013 as the “International Year of Statistics”.

This resolution was introduced on May 21, 2013, in a previous session of Congress, but was not enacted. The text of the bill below is as of May 21, 2013 (Introduced).

1st Session

S. RES. 150

May 21, 2013

submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

To designate the year 2013 as the International Year of Statistics.

Whereas more than 2,000 organizations worldwide have recognized 2013 as the International Year of Statistics, a global celebration and recognition of the contributions of statistical science to the well-being of humankind;

Whereas the science of statistics is vital to the improvement of human life because of the power of statistics to improve, enlighten, and understand;

Whereas statistics is the science of collecting, analyzing, and understanding data that permeates and bolsters all sciences;

Whereas statisticians contribute to the vitality and excellence of myriad aspects of United States society, including the economy, health care, security, commerce, education, and research;

Whereas rapidly increasing numbers of students in grades K through 16 and educators are recognizing the many benefits of statistical literacy as a collection of skills to intelligently cope with the requirements of citizenship, employment, and family;

Whereas statisticians contribute to smart and efficient government through the production of statistical data that informs on all aspects of our society, including population, labor, education, economy, transportation, health, energy, and crime;

Whereas the goals of the International Year of Statistics are to increase public awareness of the power and impact of statistics on all aspects of society, nurture statistics as a profession, especially among young people, and promote creativity and development in the sciences of probability and statistics; and

Whereas throughout the year, organizations in countries across the world will reach out to adults and children through symposia, conferences, demonstrations, workshops, contests, school activities, exhibitions, and other public events to increase awareness of the history and importance of statistics: Now, therefore, be it

That the Senate

designates the year 2013 as the International Year of Statistics;

supports the goals and ideals of the International Year of Statistics;

recognizes the necessity of educating the public on the merits of the sciences, including statistics, and promoting interest in the sciences among the youth of the United States; and

encourages the people of the United States to participate in the International Year of Statistics through participation in appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies that call attention to the importance of statistics to the present and future well-being of the people of the United States.

From Our Editors

Organic Beauty Spa de-stresses clients with soothing massages and deep-cleansing facials that fight potential stressors, including acne and fine lines. Its therapists rely on Swedish massage strokes to loosen muscle tissue and gradually untie muscle knots. The pressure is generally lighter, which makes this modality ideal for massage newbies and butterflies.

  • Monroe Multi-Sports Complex
    Skaters of all ages and arabesque abilities soar across Monroe Multi-Sports Complex's vast rink—the former home to 2011 NHL recruit Matt Mahalak. Though the rink acts as the complex’s nucleus of activity—hosting hockey games, figure skating exhibitions, skating lessons, and public skate sessions—, an adjacent field house promotes more land-based sports, including youth and adult soccer, dodge ball, and flag football. Additionally, a collection of springy inflatables allows young visitors to bounce for up to a full day or until they finally convince gravity to permanently reverse. Passionate staffers stay on hand to offer skating tips during public sessions, assist guests as they sign for one of the soccer leagues, or be of assistance in case of a hot-chocolate overdose. In keeping with their commitment to physical education, the complex’s team of instructors also coach home-schooled children for credits, as well as give birthday children the gift of adrenaline-pumping exercise during party packages.

    SVS Vision Center?s founders opened their first shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan, in 1974 to help the community clear up its vision. But even these optical gurus never foresaw their humble business expanding to more than 60 locations sprawled across 8 states. Today, each shop continues the tradition of ensuring ocular health and crystalline sight, beginning with exams from seasoned optometrists. Afterward, patients head to the optical dispensary, where they try on frames by Coach, Tiffany, Nike, Versace, or Ray-Ban. The staff then fits the stylish selection with polarized and scratch-protected prescription lenses to help guests read books clearly or see a charging moose from a distance. Most of SVS Vision Center?s frames can also hold sunglass lenses as well, eliminating squinting during summer months and tropical vacations.

Reading a Color Temp Meter: Tips and Tricks

Minolta Color Meter

Several weeks ago, I went into how to read your light meter and why it is so important. (See the light meter post here.) I know that many of you have said the light meter is dead. Well, you are not on your way to serving yourself well as a cinematographer by thinking this way. You have to have the brick and mortar of light before putting together your creative house.

“Snapshots of Your Color Palette”

This week I will go into how to read a color temp meter and describe why it is important. I have always loved understanding the color of different lights — street lights, fluorescents in a store, neon, moonlight, etc. I’ve talked about taking that snapshot in your mind with light, and I also do the same with color temps and how they mix.

color mixes

“How to Read a Color Meter”

There are only two functions you really need to be familiar with on a Minolta Color Meter: Kelvin, which is the K button, and Color Correction, which is the CC button. The color meter that I use is very old school. It’s the original and I love it.

Take any light. We will use a clamp light fixture with a household bulb for this example. Push your K button and a K will show up on the screen.

K button
This means it is ready to read the color temp.
Memory button on side
Now push the side memory button and the color temp will show up on the screen.

Color Spectrum
The color spectrum works like this. A lower number means the light is warmer. A higher number means that the light is colder. 3200K is considered balanced tungsten light. 5500K is considered balanced daylight.

Back to Reading our Meter
Our light is at 2730K, which is about 500K warmer than a tungsten balanced light at 3200K. If I loved this warm color, I would need to put Rosco ½ CTS on the light to equal that Kelvin.
light and meter

color temp of clamp light on meter
Now we need to see if this light is magenta or green in any way. The way you read this is by pushing the CC button and CC will show up on your screen.
CC button
This means it is ready to read the magenta or green content of your light. There is a quicker way to get this as well. Once you have gotten the color temp of the clamp light at 2710K, you can quickly hit the CC button and it will display its green or magenta content. Anything + is green and anything that is – is magenta. This light happens have a little magenta -1, but not bad.
CC -1 level

“How to Read your Light’s Color Temp”

Reading your color temp meter is done the same way as reading a light meter. I make sure that the meter is very close to the light that I am reading so that other color temps cannot influence my readings. I cup my hand around the flat disc as well so that no skylight or other bounce ambient, back light or fill light affects the reading.

“Matching Day Exteriors”

In the light meter post, I talked about how I use a light meter to match daylight exteriors and about keeping them balanced. To do this correctly, you need a light meter and a color meter. A color meter is essential to this process. Skylight, even when it is overcast, is very blue. To achieve balanced daylight exteriors, aim your meter up to the sky and cup slightly to not get any wall bounce.
color meter aimed at sky
Today our skylight is reading 9350K. This is the color temp you will have to match when using top light to balance your light levels as the sun sets or if you need to pick up shots after the sun has gone down and light it with artificial. The next reading you will have to take is the day fill ambient reading. I cup my hand to take the top light off the disc and read the color of what is bouncing off walls, trees and some horizon sky light, which comes in at 6000K.

Now the final reading is the sunlight. To get this reading, aim directly at the sun and cup the disc so that it doesn’t get any of the top light or side bounce. In this example, it reads 5350K, which makes sense during the winter. The light is always a little warmer in winter. In the summer, it usually comes in closer to 5500-5600K.

Now you have collected all of these readings and you are prepared if the sun goes down and you all of a sudden have to create day at night. You have the playbook of color temps to have it match seamlessly.

“What is Your Light’s Temperature”

We have discussed how to read a meter and how to read the color and color correction values of a light. Now let’s discuss how to balance a light when it is very green. The color meter enables you to match color temps on the street, in stores and in bars with movie lights. When I shot on film, a green level of +4 was right at the level of the film stock registering it. With the new digital sensors, the color sensitivity is higher, so a +1 or +2 level of green will read pretty significantly on your monitor.

I love embracing all of these different colors (see my post on color temp) and not trying to balance them to daylight or tungsten. When it comes to a light source that is supposed to mimic daylight or tungsten light, your color temp meter is essential. LED lights do not cover the full color spectrum and they tend to be green in a weird way. This is where you use your color meter to find out exactly how much green the LED light puts out. Once you have that information, you can use Rosco minus green to balance it.

LED Reading
We start with this LED light from iKan, which reads +9 green and 6950K.
no gel
I will first put on a layer of ¼ minus green, which will counteract the green levels of this light to see where the meter goes down to, which is at +6 green and my Kelvin dropped to 6600K.
minus green
Now another layer of ¼ minus is added, which brings us down to +3 and 6350K.
minus green
By adding the final ¼ minus green, we end at -1, which is acceptable, but let’s check out where our color temp is with all this gel. With all of this magenta gel comes warmth. We end at 6150K, which is 650K colder than a daylight balanced light.
Magenta is my least favorite color. It is an essential one, but I hate pink. I would rather a skin tone be more on the yellow side than pink. Manicuring your magenta level on lights is important if you do not want pinky, peachy skin tones. On film, -3 to -4 would barely show up; on digital sensors, -2 shows up big time.
Now that you have the basics to reading both light and color, you are ready to go out there and continue to snap shots of light.

    Hi Shane,
    I was surprised you didn’t get into dealing with sources with a discontinuous spectrum, and how color meters are not accurate for those. Maybe an idea for a follow up post? I don’t even trust them for LEDs. Here’s a new fangled one designed to handle discontinuous spectrum sources.

I do love that device, looks very interesting and thank you for sharing. It was great seeing you at the DGA event

    Sweet seeing the Colormeter II; first one I ever got my hands on. Use the IIIF now. My favorite combo is a color temp meter and the 3″ square gel swatchbooks. I can dial in filter packs first by swapping out gel samples directly over the sensor until I hit the right combo. This is a great way to “dumb down” studio lights to match location practicals like office fluorescents; take a reading off the practicals then find the filter combo that makes your studio lights look just as bad. The Colormeter III has a neat Light Balancing (LB) chart on the back that lists color shifts in MiReDs, very handy to cross reference with the MiReD shifts listed on the swatchbook CTB/CTO samples. Have been surprised a few times by gaffers who don’t own color temp meters. Maybe I’m too old school and like to have my kinoflos and HMIs kinda zeroed out to standard color temps at the start of production.

    As always, great article. So very happy to see someone of your influence talking about the importance of light meters.

    Hey Shane,

    Quick question. It is possible to skew the color meter’s reading by cupping your hand around it? I’m always concerned at light reflecting from my hands skin tone is affecting the color reading, is this a reasonable concern?

    • Author
      Shane 1 year ago

      Addison, yes it is, if the light is very bright I try to hold my hand further away to I shadow the flat sensor. It is something to get used to and a feel for.

    Shane, I just picked a Minolta color meter II on eBay and plan to use it with my c100 and gh4. I was reading you need to set a film stock on the meter first. What do you suggest I set it at or does it even matter for digital ? Thank you for your time.

      It doesn’t matter for digital. You are all good to go. I think you will find it very useful.

    great read! – I’m 60 and after seeing both your articles, I got on to Ebay and picked up Minolta II and a Sekonic L758d to get the most out of the cameras I’ve got. Rather than hunt down someone to calibrate, could I use a known source and see how far off my meter is?

  11. CAsey 11 months ago

    Thanks for posting this! I shoot astro-timelapse and I have been adding artificial light to the scenes – but their color was wrong – so I broke out my old Minolta Color Meter II to save the day! (or night!)

  12. Pablo Costamagna 10 months ago

    I’ve recently bought this color meter (New! Can you belive it?) and now I find out you use the same one. I have to say it was like “Ok, if Shane uses it I can trust it”. Thanks Shane for your everyday work in education. My bests, from your beloved Buenos Aires.

  14. Jalal J 6 months ago

    I have a question related to the hand cupping technique. Won’t some light bounce off of the skin tone, when you cup, and affect the color meter? Would you rather prefer a neutral grey hood of some sort?

  15. Tom Alexander 5 months ago

    Shane, thanks for the informative (and interesting) article on color meter use. I’m currently looking at these meters for use in digital still photography for custom white balancing and correcting light sources such as flash. Do you see this as a practical use for these types of meters?

  16. Cory 4 months ago

    Is it possible to calibrate a color meter II? We have the same one you do, but how do I know to trust its reading? Other than going out on a sunny day at noon and hoping it gives me 5500K, is there a way that I am not aware of?

    thanks for the interesting article.

National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)

The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) is a partnership of the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.  It is designed to develop, disseminate, and support enterprise-wide information exchange standards and processes that can enable jurisdictions to effectively share critical information in emergency situations, as well as support the day-to-day operations of agencies throughout the nation.

NIEM enables information sharing, focusing on information exchanged among organizations as part of their current or intended business practices.  The NIEM exchange development methodology results in a common semantic understanding among participating organizations and data formatted in a semantically consistent manner.  NIEM standardizes content (actual data exchange standards), provides tools, and manages processes.

The Institute for Intergovernmental Research provides complete staff support to the NIEM project, including researching, developing, and distributing materials regarding the project; providing meeting and workshop support and facilitation; tracking action items; drafting policy issues; and managing, maintaining, and soliciting content for the NIEM Web site.

Mothering at Mid-Career: Pre-Semester Bullet Points
August 20, 2012 - 6:04pm

·      My first teaching day is a week away and I think my syllabus is ready, amazingly. I e-mailed a link to it to all my students and I believe it was less than an hour before a student e-mailed me back to ask about a date confusion--alas, there was a typo in what I sent out. It's fixed now, but it's not exactly how I intended to appear to my students. Ah, well, perhaps it's just as well that they get used to the idea that I am not, in fact, always going to be right. (Far from it.)

·      My daughter is back after her six weeks of travel out of the country. As soon as she got home she was right at work, making herself her favorite lunch, and then we sat around and listened to her stories for a couple of hours. I'm sure there will be many more that we'll hear over the coming days--but she's leaving for college at the end of the week, so we may not get too many of them before she has to leave again. Thank heavens for cellphones and Facebook!

·      My son's cross-country practice has been going on all month, and he's starting to get back in the swing of the school year. Not quite, though. Are all fifteen-year-olds chronically sleep-deprived? Although he can and does get up early (well, 7:30 am) for practice, when there's no practice I don't think he'd get out of bed before noon. Why is it that I'm unable to sleep in, and he's unable to get up on time?

·      How is it that August isn't yet over and I'm already thinking about next summer? Maybe it's because Mariah's back from the summer vacation of a lifetime (highlights: Paris and Istanbul), but I'm feeling as if I need to start planning now. I know, I know, we've still got a whole academic year to get through, including Nick's first AP class and Mariah's senior year--which will bring with it GREs and grad school applications. And, just to be clear, it's really unlikely that I'll be planning a summer vacation for us anything like Mariah's trip from this year. Still, a girl can dream!

·      As much as I'm thinking about next summer, I'm also still enjoying the tail end of this one. Best thing about late August: both peaches and apples are in season at the same time! We went to the orchard last week and stocked up on peaches, filling the freezer so that we can have peach pie in January. Don't even talk to me about the possibility of a hurricane and resulting power loss (something we do have to think about here, every year). I could, if reluctantly, lose everything in my freezer other than the fruit (both strawberries and peaches) that I've picked and processed, but I do lose a little sleep over the idea that it might thaw and go bad. I've got a cooler all picked out in case we need to shift things into it in the event. Picking peaches is an end-of-summer ritual for me; now that the freezer's full, I feel ready (well, almost) to start the semester. Bring it on!

Foundation and College Fight Over Assets
January 25, 2010

The foundation of the City College of San Francisco is trying to gain control of its $19 million in assets, which have been managed directly by the college, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. Foundation officials say that they still want to support the college's students and programs, but they say they need clear independence to maintain credibility in the wake of charges against the former chancellor of the college and two other senior officials that they diverted college funds illegally to political campaigns that benefited the college.

An e-retailer’s Facebook page evolves into a Facebook store

Apparel merchant Ulla Popken is among the first to use social commerce software from MarketLive.

Don Davis , Editor in Chief

Retailer Ulla Popken, which specializes in plus-size apparel for larger women, has been on a journey that’s naturally led to social networks like Facebook and Twitter—and soon to a full-fledged e-commerce site on Facebook—says Michelle Richenderfer, director of e-commerce.

The journey began with the realization a few years ago that the retailer had to do a better job of communicating its mission, which is providing women who wear sizes 12 and up with quality and stylish clothing, Richenderfer says. With that in mind, Ulla Popken came up with a message for its customers: Live for today, and don’t wait until you lose 10 pounds to do the things you want to do.

“Our customers being plus-size tend not to be completely comfortable in their skins,” Richenderfer says. “We got behind the idea of encouraging our customers, and women in general to live life to the fullest. Live your life now; don’t wait for tomorrow. We want our customers to feel comfortable in the clothing they’re wearing to take this step in their lives, to live it up.”

With that message in place, the retailer set about building a better e-commerce site, working with e-retail technology vendor MarketLive Inc. Moving to a new MarketLive platform and redesigning the UllaPopken.com site took up most of last year, Richenderfer says.

As it built its new web site, the retailer added several social features, including a section called U.P. Life that offers the writings of plus-size  fashion consultant Babe Hope, and recently added videos. The retailer also started a blog and created pages on social networks Facebook and Twitter.

The retailer created its Facebook page about six months ago, but only started promoting it in the last few months, through e-mails to its file of 80,000 active customers and through its catalog. Ulla Popken sends out 26 catalogs a year, 6 million pieces in total, and those catalogs represent a major driver of traffic to UllaPopken.com, which generates 60-65% of the retailer’s sales, Richenderfer says. She says the company’s annual web sales are around $12 million. Ulla Popken is part of German apparel retailer Ulla Popken GmbH.

Customers responded to the Facebook news. From about 600 followers three months ago, the retailer’s Facebook page now has nearly 2,800 fans. Richenderfer concedes that’s a far cry from some competitors that got an earlier start on Facebook—The Talbots, for instance, has nearly 118,000 Facebook fans. But, she says, “This is a pretty good start. We’ve been putting a little more attention into it and seeing people responding at pretty phenomenal rates.” The Talbots Inc. is No. 112 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide.

The next step was to enable customers to buy directly on the Ulla Popken page on Facebook, and the retailer introduced the capability last month. But that’s enabled via a direct data feed that does not allow the retailer to offer all the features of its e-commerce site, such as zoom on product pages or presenting best-sellers first. That will soon change, Richenderfer says.

For Ulla Popken is among the first group of retailers taking advantage of the new MarketLive Social Store for Facebook that the e-commerce technology vendor is now testing and will soon make generally available. That Social Store technology will allow Ulla Popken to automatically add new products, images and descriptions to its Facebook store as it adds them to its main e-commerce site. And it will be able to create special Facebook promotions, all using the same console the retailer works with to manage its e-retail site, Richenderfer says. She says the retailer, which offers 12,000 SKUs on its e-commerce site, will make all of its product available on its Facebook store.

MarketLive says there is no additional charge for the Social Store software, but there may be fees for retailers that want a Facebook store customized. Richenderfer says Ulla Popken is planning to implement the new MarketLive technology without customization.

Richenderfer says the new Facebook store, which she expects to be operational by late July or early August, is a natural next step on its journey to communicate more with customers, and an important part of its commerce strategy. “We feel this will be one of the big drivers in the future, now that everyone is getting on Facebook, not just the younger clientele,” she says. “It’s becoming the norm for everyone to have a Facebook account along with an e-mail account.”

She says it’s important that the new Facebook store will let consumers purchase on Facebook, whereas the retailer’s current Facebook store links customers back to UllaPopken.com to buy. “This way we can not only have our Facebook page but also have our merchandise out where we’re being social with customers,” she says. “As customers talk about different items it will give them the ability to make the purchase within Facebook, and not lose that connection of staying within Facebook and being social.”

National Kidney Foundation, Renal Physicians Association Urge Screening for those at Risk for Kidney Disease

New York, NY (November 1, 2013) – The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the Renal Physicians Association (RPA) recommend that healthcare professionals test patients in specific high risk groups for chronic kidney disease (CKD) – particularly those with diabetes or high blood pressure--as a cost effective strategy for delaying disease progression and reducing complications.

A new guideline issued last week by the American College of Physicians (ACP) discourages routine testing for kidney disease in asymptomatic individuals with no risk factors. The National Kidney Foundation and the Renal Physicians Association are in agreement with the ACP that screening is not necessary for the general population without risk conditions.

"There is little or no evidence to suggest that screening people without symptoms or risk factors is beneficial. In addition, mass screening will increase false positive test results, which in turn will lead to unnecessary concerns, additional tests, and excess costs. However, screening risk groups is recommended by the NKF and RPA, particularly those with diabetes and/or hypertension. Screening for CKD in these risk groups was shown to be cost effective in a recent analysis," said Joseph Vassalotti, MD, National Kidney Foundation's Chief Medical Officer.

"In addition, NKF and RPA recommend screening for other risk groups to promote early detection and management, including African Americans and at- risk ethnic groups, those age 60 and older and those with family history of kidney failure. CKD detection drives patient awareness and changes management -- that is why testing is so important. Control of hypertension can slow progression or loss of kidney function over time, delaying the onset of kidney failure. Management of CKD also includes a patient safety approach to drug prescription practices for certain medications cleared by the kidneys. Avoiding certain medications and judicious use of iodinated contrast media for imaging can prevent acute kidney injury in those at risk with CKD. Lastly, timely nephrology referral and preparation for dialysis and kidney transplantation are dependent on primary care detection," continued Vassalotti.

According to RPA President Robert Kossmann, MD, "Screening those at risk is cost-effective because it can help delay progression of kidney disease for some and properly prepare those who do progress to kidney failure for dialysis and or transplant, resulting in fewer hospitalizations and medical interventions. However, screening those not at risk is unnecessary. Coincident with recent years' CKD screening efforts, the 2013 USRDS has shown a decrease in the number of incident dialysis patients. Our hope is that this represents identification of CKD patients at a point in their disease process that has allowed interventions to prevent or delay ESRD. In a time of escalating healthcare costs, we need to focus on interventions that improve outcomes and make a real difference in people's lives."

The ACP's new guideline also advises against testing for high levels of protein in the urine in people with or without diabetes who are taking certain blood pressure drugs, such as an ACE inhibitor or an ARB.

The National Kidney Foundation and Renal Physicians Association differ from the ACP on the above recommendation. NKF and RPA recommend monitoring of proteinuria, or protein in the urine (one of the very earliest signs of kidney damage) at least annually in those with major risk factors such as diabetes, even if they are taking a blood pressure drug.

"If proteinuria increases that could be a reason to intensify therapy with one of the kidney- protective blood pressure drugs, ACE inhibitors or ARBs. In addition, if a person has hypertension, severely increased proteinuria may be a reason to consider referral to a kidney specialist for a biopsy to look for a cause of kidney disease other than high blood pressure," said Vassalotti.

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and their families and tens of millions of Americans at risk.

The Renal Physicians Association (RPA) is the professional organization of nephrologists whose goals are to ensure optimal care under the highest standards of medical practice for patients with renal disease and related disorders. RPA acts as the national representative for physicians engaged in the study and management of patients with renal disease.

ME FIRST by Max Kornell

by , illustrated by
Age Range: 4 - 8

Being first is only fun—if it can be called fun—when it doesn’t entail learning the rude consequences of the unknown.

Kornell’s two donkeys go by the names of Hal and Martha. As brother and sister, they enjoy a good game of one-upmanship. In this case, it’s a relentless, barely bearable, simmering war. They live in a gloriously bucolic setting, as evocative as a woodblock print burnished with the light of sunset, but their competition carries on, even while on a picnic. On a walk home, they take a new route and encounter many new circumstances. Martha races to try the berries first. Yuck! Hal climbs through the hollow log before Martha can and emerges coated in cobwebs for his efforts. Martha jumps on the log bridge spanning a stream and goes for an unexpected swim, in her clothes, when it breaks. There’s nothing quite like learning a lesson the hard way, not to mention that the air is perfumed by their silence as the lesson seeps in. Kornell can’t be said to have exactly a light touch—the message is as subtle as the taste of cobwebs—but if it teaches just one reader not to need to always go one better, it’s brought peace to one small sliver of Earth.

As soothing on the eyes as it is, potentially, on the nerves. (Picture book. 4-8)

New York Times v. Sullivan (1964)

Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary

The U.S. Supreme Court decision that prohibited public officials from suing news organizations for inaccuracies made by mistake. This ruling, based on the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of the press, made it more difficult for public officials to sue the press for libel, because they had to prove not only that the information was wrong, but that the news organization published it with malicious intent or reckless disregard for the truth.

Lesson 23: Forgiveness

Young Women Manual 1, (2002), 101–4

Each young woman will learn the importance of forgiving others.

  1. 1.

    Bring a pencil and piece of paper for each class member.

  2. 2.

    Prepare a poster with the following scripture, or write the scripture on the chalkboard: “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).

  3. 3.

    Write on a piece of paper the statement from President Spencer W. Kimball in the second section of the lesson. Hand it to one of the young women before you begin the lesson and ask her to study it so she can read it well during class.

  4. 4.

    Assign young women to present any stories, scriptures, or quotations you wish.

Suggested Lesson Development

Case studies

Give each young woman a pencil and piece of paper. Tell the class that you are going to describe two situations. At the conclusion of each, they are to write down what they might do if they were in a similar situation.

Case Study 1

Maryann shared a confidence with her friend Kathy and trusted her to keep their conversation secret. Later, Maryann overheard Kathy telling someone else. Not only that, but Kathy had added to the story, telling as facts some things that were not true. Maryann was deeply hurt because her friend had broken her word. She was also very angry—so angry that she thought that she would never speak to Kathy again.

Ask each young woman to write down what she would do if she were in Maryann’s place.

Case Study 2

During opening exercises, Karen put her purse on a bench. She left it there when they separated for classes. When she came back to get the purse, it was gone. The next day, Susan, a young woman who had just recently moved into the neighborhood, came to Karen’s house. Susan admitted taking the purse. She returned it saying that she was sorry and asked Karen to forgive her. Karen said, “Certainly, it’s forgotten.” A few days later as Karen was talking with some friends, one of the young women asked if anyone knew Susan.

Give the young women time to write down what they would do if they were in Karen’s place. Tell them to save their papers to refer to later in the lesson.

The Savior Taught Forgiveness by Word and Example

Scripture discussion

Explain that Jesus Christ taught people what they should do when someone offends them. Ask the young women to listen to a scripture and note the instructions Jesus gave. Call on a young woman to read Matthew 5:43–44.

  • How should you treat those who offend you?

Jesus taught that his followers are required to forgive everyone. They should love their enemies and bless those who curse them. He even explained that if a person fails to forgive, he commits a greater sin than the offender. Ask a young woman to read Doctrine and Covenants 64:9–10.

  • How serious is it to fail to forgive others?

  • Who are you required to forgive?

Quotation and discussion

Jesus set the supreme example in forgiving those who offend and hurt. One of our Church leaders explained: “Biblical history tells us that no mortal man has ever been subjected to the humility, the pain, the suffering that were experienced by the Savior of the world during his final hours of mortality.

“Following a number of false charges, he was betrayed by one considered to be among his closest circle of friends. He was then subjected to a so-called trial, which produced a sentence that was dictated by political convenience and public sentiment rather than justice.”

Pause in reading the quotation and ask:

  • How would you feel if you were betrayed by a friend?

  • How would you react to someone who falsely accused you of a crime?

Explain that the suffering of Jesus did not end after a false accusal and betrayal by a friend. Continue reading.

“Then in rapid agonizing succession: there was the long struggle to Calvary as he bore the heavy cross; he was jeered at and spat upon by the multitude all along the way; there was the offering of vinegar, climaxed by the cruel spikes; and finally, there he hung, his body broken and bleeding, still taunted by his enemies; and it was in the midst of all this that Jesus pled perhaps quietly, with deep reverence, ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. …’ (Luke 23:34.)” (Robert L. Simpson, in Conference Report, Oct. 1966, p. 128; or Improvement Era, Dec. 1966, p. 1148).

To Gain God’s Forgiveness, We Must Learn to Forgive Others

Quotations and discussion

Explain that as a young woman forgives, she allows the Lord to forgive her. Elder Marion D. Hanks asked, “[How can we] expect God to forgive [us] when we do not forgive?—openly? and ‘in our hearts’” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1973, p. 15; or Ensign, Jan. 1974, p. 20).

  • How do you forgive a person openly and in your heart?

  • How can feelings of resentment, anger, or vengeance for those who have offended you be overcome so you can truly forgive?

  • How can prayer help you learn to forgive?

  • How can understanding and getting to know the Savior help you to forgive others?

Point out that Heavenly Father explained, as recorded in the scriptures, that when we repent, he will forgive our sins and “remember them no more” (D&C 58:42). When a young woman forgives someone, she should tell the person openly and then forget the offense, not mentioning it again.

Call on the young woman to whom you gave the statement from President Spencer W. Kimball to read it aloud.

“Must [I] forgive even if [the one who offended me] remains cold and indifferent and mean? There is no mistaking it.

“A common error is the idea that the offender must apologize and humble himself to the dust before forgiveness is required. Certainly, the one who does the injury should totally make his adjustment, but as for the offended one, he must forgive the offender regardless of the attitude of the other [party]” (The Miracle of Forgiveness [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1969], p. 282).

  • How should you treat a person who has hurt or offended you if the person does not ask for forgiveness? What if the person is not sorry?

  • How should you respond to someone who repeatedly commits the same offense? (Matthew 18:21–22.)

Poster or chalkboard

Refer to the following scripture on a poster or on the chalkboard: “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).

Case study discussion

Refer to the case studies you presented at the beginning of the class period. Ask the young women to ponder the responses they wrote. If they wish, the young women may make changes in their comments.

  • If you were Maryann, how would you treat Kathy when you see her again?

  • If Maryann and Karen really forgave, how would they feel in their hearts?

  • When Karen forgave Susan, she said, “It’s forgotten.” How should Karen behave if she has truly forgiven Susan?

Forgiveness Brings Love and Blessings

“It was in a church in Munich that I saw him—a balding, heavyset man in a gray overcoat, a brown felt hat clutched between his hands. People were filing out of the basement room where I had just spoken, moving along the rows of wooden chairs to the door at the rear. It was 1947 and I had come from Holland to defeated Germany with the message that God forgives.

“It was the truth they needed most to hear in that bitter, bombed-out land, and I gave them my favorite mental picture. Maybe because the sea is never far from a Hollander’s mind, I liked to think that that’s where forgiven sins were thrown. ‘When we confess our sins,’ I said, ‘God casts them into the deepest ocean, gone forever. …’

“The solemn faces stared back at me, not quite daring to believe. There were never questions after a talk in Germany in 1947. People stood up in silence, in silence collected their wraps, in silence left the room.

“And that’s when I saw him, working his way forward against the others. One moment I saw the overcoat and the brown hat; the next, a blue uniform and a visored cap with its skull and crossbones. It came back with a rush: the huge room with its harsh overhead lights; the pathetic pile of dresses and shoes in the center of the floor; the shame of walking naked past this man. I could see my sister’s frail form ahead of me, ribs sharp beneath the parchment skin. Betsie, how thin you were!

[Betsie and I had been arrested for concealing Jews in our home during the Nazi occupation of Holland; this man had been a guard at Ravensbruck concentration camp where we were sent.]

“Now he was in front of me, hand thrust out: ‘A fine message, Fräulein! How good it is to know that, as you say, all our sins are at the bottom of the sea!’

“And I, who had spoken so glibly of forgiveness, fumbled in my pocketbook rather than take that hand. He would not remember me, of course—how could he remember one prisoner among those thousands of women?

“But I remembered him and the leather crop swinging from his belt. I was face-to-face with one of my captors and my blood seemed to freeze.

“‘You mentioned Ravensbruck in your talk,’ he was saying, ‘I was a guard there.’ No, he did not remember me.

“‘But since that time,’ he went on, ‘I have become a Christian. I know that God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well. Fräulein,’ again the hand came out—’will you forgive me?’

“And I stood there—I whose sins had again and again to be forgiven—and could not forgive. Betsie had died in that place—could he erase her slow terrible death simply for the asking?

“It could not have been many seconds that he stood there—hand held out—but to me it seemed hours as I wrestled with the most difficult thing I had ever had to do.

“For I had to do it—I knew that. The message that God forgives has a prior condition: that we forgive those who have injured us. ‘If you do not forgive men their trespasses,’ Jesus says, ‘neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.’

“I knew it not only as a commandment of God, but as a daily experience. Since the end of the war I had had a home in Holland for victims of Nazi brutality. Those who were able to forgive their former enemies were able also to return to the outside world and rebuild their lives, no matter what the physical scars. Those who nursed their bitterness remained invalids. It was as simple and as horrible as that.

“And still I stood there with the coldness clutching my heart. But forgiveness is not an emotion—I knew that too. Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart. ‘… Help!’ I prayed silently. ‘I can lift my hand. I can do that much. You supply the feeling.’

“And so woodenly, mechanically, I thrust my hand into the one stretched out to me. And as I did, an incredible thing took place. The current started in my shoulder, raced down my arm, sprang into our joined hands. And then this healing warmth seemed to flood my whole being, bringing tears to my eyes.

“‘I forgive you, brother!’ I cried. ‘With all my heart!’

“For a long moment we grasped each other’s hands, the former guard and the former prisoner. I had never known God’s love so intensely, as I did then” (excerpted from “I’m Still Learning to Forgive” by Corrie ten Boom. Reprinted by permission from Guideposts Magazine.
