Clean and healthy water is a basic human right. The UN's Sustainable Development Goal No 6 is to improve the quality of water, so that everyone has access to clean water by 2030. To achieve this goal, we need to be able to measure and understand the quality of water and Ericsson is leading a project to develop a real-time water monitoring solution. The project is developed through the Digital Demo Stockholm initiative, initiated by the City of Stockholm. Other project partners are the Stockholm Water company, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University, Linköping University and Telia Company.
We have now connected the first sensors in Stockholm and are retrieving data. This data will be analyzed and an algorithm layer will be developed to include predictability and early warning functionalities for the solution.
Why is it important to know and to predict the water quality and who would use this? To be able to secure clean and healthy drinking water, we need to know what is processed by the water plants and the quality of water in the distribution network. A massive deployment of sensors in a city's water network would therefore be an asset; monitoring pollution flows and bacterial contamination so that water quality can be assured.
Further on, a digitalized solution will be real time and give us simultaneous knowledge of the water status, and minimize the need for time-consuming manual sampling and lab testing. A digitalized solution will give water utilities and cities a tool to minimize their lead times, take informed decisions and thus continue to secure access to clean and healthy water.
Different parameters are measured, such as temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction potential, and pH. All of these parameters are used to assess water quality. For example the amount of dissolved oxygen can be a proxy for bacterial contamination or algae bloom and high conductivity readings in fresh water can indicate pollution. The data received from the sensors will be analyzed and our university partners will lead the development of the algorithms, where all the data is combined, to give an understanding of the current water status, as well as provide predictions based on the wide deployment of sensors.
The solution is built on Ericsson's IoT Accelerator which manages the devices and data as well as performing the analysis of sensor data. The sensors send data in regular intervals through the LTE cellular network, and can therefore be deployed anywhere where there is connectivity. During 2017, we aim to connect sensors through Narrow Band IoT, with advantages such as deep coverage and low power consumption.
The water monitoring solution we are developing will be a future tool for cities and water utilities around the globe. By knowing the status of the water in real time, cities will be able to take measures if any pollution is detected and we as citizens can continue to enjoy safe water.
During the development of the project, we have received positive feedback from many cities around the globe and the aim is to have the solution ready during 2018. As a teaser, we will deploy a sensor in the Swedish city of Visby during the annual Almedalen event in July, where everyone will be able to see the water quality in real time to feel secure during their morning swim.

Timeline TV kicks off innovative remote production for FA Women's Super League - Timeline Television Ltd.
For the FA Women's Super League (WSL), the 2018/2019 season is its first as a fully professional league, so for Whisper Films and technical partner Timeline Television, delivering comprehensive, broadcast ready coverage that matched this new status was a key goal. This production contract has been the first use of a revolutionary remote production system, devised by Timeline Television, which harnesses fast internet channels to send live match footage to a central control system housed at Timeline's Ealing Studios' HQ.
• Remote camera racking is essential for high quality TV pictures and required a new innovative approach to data transmission while keeping the on-site operation as simple as possible.
• Effective communication from the production gallery to the team on the ground is essential and so Timeline developed a fully featured talkback network delivered via a mobile phone app.
• Presenters at the location need to see the programme output with minimum delay so Timeline's IP engineering team have developed a low latency streaming solution working with a portable high brightness monitor.
Timeline worked with Mobile Viewpoint to develop a 4G bonding & IP transmission solution in a backpack. The backpack integrates a transmitter and the camera control interface systems to deliver full functionality in a single, portable package.
Working with Blackmagic, Timeline developed an innovative system built within a Blackmagic Design camera system environment, utilising Blackmagic's open SDI camera control protocol to build a bespoke control solution.
As for future plans, Timeline will continue to provide all the Women's Super League footage with the remote production system, but its efficiency and technical capabilities could be easily transferred to other sporting leagues, tournaments and touring events. "The ability to control an entire multicamera system via IP means that we can produce comprehensive coverage of high-profile events from anywhere in the world, without having to send a huge amount of staff or equipment out to the venues. Plus, the future rollout of 5G will support higher quality transmission and more widespread production opportunities." Dan concludes.


If you like the sense of adventure and would love to discover the beauty of nature with your family, one of the most exciting and affordable family vacation is definitely camping. A camping trip is a great first step for some quality time with your family. RV parks, RV resorts and campgrounds make great destinations for an affordable family vacation.
Although a complete camping experience involves getting away from all the technological gadgets of modern life, this doesn't mean you will have no decent conditions at all. Most RV parks include a grill, fire-pit and picnic table, as well as shower and general bathroom facilities. Others provide extensive facilities, such as heated pools, cable TV and wireless Internet access. Apart from pitched tents, there are also cabins, cottages and lodges available.
Going camping is extremely appealing for the kids, too. There are tons of enjoyable activities available on camping holidays, both for children and adults. Most RV parks feature lakes for swimming, boating and fishing, hiking trials, basketball courts and playground facilities. Many include such activities as, such as nature crafts, free movies or ice cream socials for the kids. You can bring along your board games, bike and balls & gloves too. On a camping vacation you will have plenty of time to play with the kids, then enjoy a beautiful sunset and watch for shooting stars.
Going camping is not only fun and exciting, but also probably the most affordable family vacation you can plan. The cost for four family members is less than $1000, including the cost for buying new gear (tent, sleeping bags, cooler, camp stove). The new gear should cost somewhere around $600, while the campground fee is usually less than $200 for a whole week. You should expect to spend another $200 for groceries. If you already have gear, the cost for a camping vacation is even less.
If you want to test the waters, you can start by staying in a cabin or RV rental. The price ranges from $30 to $100 a night. If you all enjoy the experience, you can buy gear for the next year.
More and more people each year choose camping for an affordable family vacation. Recent research has shown that about 70 percent of all the active campers went on a camping vacation with their family at least once and 50 percent went with the extended family, including their children. 60 percent of all the active campers are already grandparents and take their grandchildren along when camping. The increasing popularity of camping proves that it is not only the most affordable family vacation you can imagine, but also fun and exciting for both children and adults.

Divine Gardens
Trim size: 9″ x 12″
Mayumi Oda and the San Francisco Zen Center
Mayumi Oda
Known to many as "the Matisse of Japan," Oda combines traditional Japanese and Buddhist iconography with her own unique sense of color, line, and movement.
SKU: 9781941529805 Categories: Gifts & Inspiration, Parallax Picks Tags: art, author of color, women's spirituality, Zen Buddhism
Mayumi Oda's internationally-recognized artwork plays with traditional Japanese and Buddhist images, refiguring them as celebrations of the feminine and the natural world. Where most traditional Buddhist iconography features male figures, Oda introduces female "Goddesses" that seem to jump off the page, imbued with the vibrancy of Oda's color and line.
Originally from Japan, Oda settled in Muir Beach, California in the 1970s and began practicing and painting at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, which Oda calls her "California Buddha Field." Divine Gardens pairs Oda's artwork with essays by her fellow practitioners, for whom Oda's artwork has been a constant companion.
Suitable for study by art students or for display on a coffee table, Divine Gardens captures the essence of Mayumi Oda's art and life as a Zen practitioner. The forty-five full-color works of art and twenty-four essays contained in the collection are a joyful celebration of her work and the community forged through the years at the San Francisco Zen Center.
Known to many as the "Matisse of Japan," Mayumi Oda has done extensive work with female goddess imagery. Born to a Buddhist family in Japan in 1941, Mayumi graduated from Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Pratt Institute in New York. From 1969 to the present, Mayumi has exhibited over 50 one-woman shows throughout the world. Her artwork is also part of the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY), The Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA), Yale University Art Gallery (New Haven, CT), Library of Congress (Washington, DC) and many others. In addition to her work as an artist, Mayumi has spent many years of her life as a global activist participating in anti-nuclear campaigns worldwide. In 2000, she started Ginger Hill, a farm and a retreat center on the Big Island of Hawaii. Mayumi currently lives with her family at Ginger Hill Farm and travels worldwide, teaching workshops in creativity and self-realization.

Jennifer Cohen , Gina LaRoche
The gap between those who have and those who don't grows; the deep conflicts within our society around race and privilege are pervasive; and many other inequities undermine our sense of safety and belonging in our world. As individuals, we try to satisfy our longing for love and connection with the consumption of more and more stuff. But our unbridled obsession with consuming more of everything with blatant disregard for the impact on us, on other species, and on the planet does just the opposite, eroding our well-being while irreparably damaging our Earth. In The 7 Laws of Enough, leadership consultants Jen Cohen and Gina LaRoche offer readers the tools to make a transformational journey from living a life in a debilitating mindset of scarcity and lack to creating a new mindset of enough...

Last week, I went one day to the famous International Jewelry and Watch Show in Basel, Switzerland: BASELWORLD. In the morning, I was picked up by Tesla for my first ride ever in an electric super car and brought directly to the VIERI showroom, located in a beautiful location in St. Margrethen, Binningen, to explore their stunning new Haute Joaillerie collections.
I have become a huge fan of the jewelry brand lately that is looking back at over 70 years of experience in the jewelry industry. Launched in Pforzheim, Germany, the company moved its headquarters to Switzerland in 1999. Not long ago, I met Guya Merkle, granddaughter of VIERI founder Rudolf Merkle, through common friends. I was fascinated by her taste and vision. The charming 28-year-old took over the management of the company spontaneously in 2007, following her father's sudden death. Since then, VIERI has produced all its collections in Valenza, a small municipality in northern Italy famed for its gold and jewelry.
Under the forward-looking leadership of Guya, VIERI Haute Joaillerie has been moving into a new era. »What is true luxury? Shouldn't a luxury product have a positive effect on everyone who comes into contact with it?« Guya decided to give the company her personal stamp and to instil it with her own values. She travelled to Peru to get a true picture of working conditions in several gold mines – an experience that left a deep and lasting impression on her.
Afterwards, she founded earthbeat foundation, a foundation for responsible gold mining, and transformed VIERI into one of the first high-end jewelry companies to work exclusively with ethically sourced gold.
For further information, please visit the VIERI homepage.
More from my visit to the Baselworld 2014 coming up soon!

.: September 2010 --> Google Books, flawed metadata, and the Last Library
Google Books, flawed metadata, and the Last Library
» The trouble with Google Books is a surprisingly interesting article about the importance of metadata - and the ways in which Google's culture of innovation has potentially destroyed the value of the Last Library.
Google Books was conceived of in two ways. The first is as a new library -- I call it the "last library" -- an aggregate of all the libraries in the world. The second is as a big database, a storehouse of information that you could search the way you search Google. The idea behind that is that books are just stored information. If I want to know who wrote Roosevelt's inaugural speech, I can do a search and look it up.
But those two ideas are at odds with each other, which is something that Google didn't realize. The beauty of Google is that you don't need metadata, after all. You just barrel into the text and pull out what you want. So metadata -- information about the source text -- was not something they focused on.
More from Dr. Nunberg here and here.

The 15 Must-See Sundance Shorts
Daniel Walber 01/21/2014
When it comes to a film festival, size matters. At an event like Sundance, which is as much of a market as it is a showcase for the best in independent cinema, the feature films invariably hog the lion's share of the attention, which is a shame because Sundance has a long tradition of offering a wonderful lineup of short films from around the world. That being said, no type of film – at least when it comes to distribution – has benefited from the internet the way that shorts have, and Sundance has been quick to embrace that, making several of the best shorts at this year's festival available to stream online. Below, we round up some of our favorites.
"Afronauts" – Frances Bodomo
Zambians in Space. This is director Frances Bodomo's second Sundance film following last year's "Boneshaker," a short starring Quvenzhané Wallis. Her newest, "Afronauts,"is the story of the Zambia Space Academy trying to beat the United States to the Moon in 1969. It's "inspired by true events" and the trailer is awesome.
"Burger" – Magnus Mork
Magnus Mork's first short film, "Flatmates," won a number of awards in Norway and showed a real intuition for the sex-crazed clumsiness of overgrown youth. "Burger," his newest, returns to the world of the twenty-something with a vengeance. Drunk, rowdy Brits fill up a kebab joint late at night, and Mork lets us sit back and watch the meticulously edited fireworks. And you can watch the whole thing on YouTube already!
"Catherine" – Dean Fleischer-Camp
Dean Fleischer-Camp and comedian Jenny Slate are already hilarious and prolific collaborators. "Marcel the Shell" is probably their biggest hit, but "Bestie by Bestie" is also pretty brilliant. This time they're going for something even dryer, assembling a theatrical short from a prior web series. "Catherine" is a comedy so deadpan that one worries that the characters are just a hair's breadth away from a violent psychotic break. It's defiantly ridiculous and available in full on YouTube.
"Choreography" – David Redmon and Ashley Sabin
David Redmon and Ashley Sabin are the directors of acclaimed feature documentaries, such as "Girl Model," "Intimidad" and "Downeast." Their newest film is nine minutes long and about donkeys. I cannot wait.
"Dawn" – Rose McGowan
Rose McGowan's directorial debut, "Dawn" is a brutal and perhaps even cold coming of age story. Yet in spite of its chill, it fascinates with the way it treats the innocence of 1960s youth and the horror of growing up too fast. Or maybe McGowan is just a little depraved, and good for her.
"The End of eating Everything" – Wangechi Mutu
Commissioned by the Nasher Museum of Art as part of a new exhibition of her work (currently at the Brooklyn Museum), "The End of eating Everything" is artist Wangechi Mutu's first foray into animation. Her large scale collages are extraordinary works of surreal beauty, and the trailer for this short suggests that her moving images are equally stunning. Starring Santigold, "The End of eating Everything" seems to exist in an entirely new universe, a cosmos somewhere between "Leviathan" and The Brothers Quay.
"Gregory Go Boom" – Janicza Bravo
Janicza Bravo's first short, "Eat," premiered at SXSW in 2011. It's both unsettling and a little bit funny, and you can watch it here. Her newest film takes the darkness of "Eat" and doubles down, following a paraplegic Michael Cera on his quest to strike out on his own and find a woman. This pursuit is not helped by the fact that he's basically a total jerk, which Bravo exacerbates by cultivating a distinct sense of doom. It's quite something, and it's available to watch now on YouTube.
"The Lion's Mouth Opens" – Lucy Walker
A new Lucy Walker film is always worth seeing. She's had quite the prolific year, actually, with three short documentaries in addition to "The Crash Reel." This new one is a young actress facing the possibility of Huntington's Disease. Parallels with Walker's recent look into the post-injury life of snowboarder Kevin Pearce may emerge, but mostly it's just intriguing to see yet another character study from this always empathetic filmmaker.
"Marilyn Myller" – Mikey Please
Animator Mikey Please's Oscar shortlisted thesis film, "The Eagleman Stag", was the best short of 2011. I mean that. You can watch it on his website. His new short, "Marilyn Myller," looks like another fusion of immensely ambitious philosophy, staggeringly intricate stop-motion and a surprisingly nuanced intuition for character. We should all be very excited.
"Notes on Blindness" – Peter Middleton and James Spinney
This is a bit of a turn for filmmakers Peter Middleton and James Spinney, whose comedy-drama film "Wavelengths" was a hit on the festival circuit in 2012. This time they've made a documentary of sorts, an adaptation of the audio diary of writer and theologian John Hull. The thinker went blind in 1983, and these are his reflections from much later in life. It's a meditation on loss, parenthood and the simple beauties of cognition. It's also on YouTube in full.
"Of God and Dogs" – Abounaddara Collective
In 2010, Abounaddara Collective was formed by a group of anonymous Syrian filmmakers to counter prevailing images of Syrian society. This particular film is the confession of a young soldier, racked with guilt over his killing of an innocent man, and furious with God over the act. As a documentary it looks fascinating, and as an act of subversive, revolutionary art it might be something of a miracle.
"One Billion Rising" – Eve Ensler and Tony Stroebel
Eve Ensler, Tony Award-winning writer of "The Vagina Monologues" and founder of V-Day, co-directed this documentary with South African cinematographer Tony Stroebel. The subject is V-Day 2013, in which a billion people participated in a world-wide mass action to end violence against women. The film looks like an impressively global affair, and a well-shot one at that.
"Person to Person" – Dustin Guy Defa
Dustin Guy Defa has an offbeat filmography, bouncing between fiction and non-fiction, features and shorts. His "Declaration of War" and "Lydia Hoffman Lydia Hoffman" were hits at BAM Cinemafest last summer, and his feature "Bad Fever" premiered at SXSW in 2012. His newest, "Person to Person," looks like a new twist on an old theme, an awkward and portentous meeting of strangers that worked so well in "Lydia Hoffman Lydia Hoffman."
"Rat Pack Rat" – Todd Rohal
The best word to describe Todd Rohal's "Rat Pack Rat" is probably "grotesque." This is entirely on purpose, of course. This bleak and aggressively stranger tale of a Sammy Davis Jr. impersonator down on his luck and taking shady Craigslist clients is nothing if not willfully unpleasant. The house call in question involves a young man on a respirator, a birthday and a great deal of physical awkwardness. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely remarkable.
"Syndromeda" – Patrik Eklund
Swedish filmmaker Patrk Eklund got an Oscar nomination for his 2008 short comedy "Instead of Abracadabra", which was well-deserved (watch it here). That said, I actually think his follow-up short "Seeds of the Fall" is even better, more absurd. His Sundance short "Syndromeda," a comedy about alien abduction, looks to fit perfectly into his style of bleak, deadpan ridiculousness.

A fable of defeat and redemption, of innocence and the knowledge of evil, unfolding against a backdrop of camp meetings, revivals, gospel singers, flamboyant evangelists. Of mysterious birth and eccentric upbringing, self-taught, apprenticed to an itinerant preacher, Sister Patsy has a gift, a power to move great crowds of people and to inspire intense devotion in a few. But in 1939 on a stormy summer night in Brooklyn, enemies, visible and invisible, are gathering strength. Sister Patsy has new lessons to learn in this night, lessons of freedom, of courage, of responsibility.

New �1m Diss Catholic Church set to open today
By Adam Gretton
A �1m new Catholic church will open its doors to worshippers today following a long-running campaign to move to new premises.
Permission was first granted almost five years ago for Diss Catholic Church to build a new facility on the edge of the town to cater for its growing congregation.
The church of St Henry Morse, off Shelfanger Road will hold its first service this evening after work began in November to build the church on a greenfield site.
The new church, which can accommodate up to 270 worshippers for a service, also includes a kitchen, day chapel, community room, and a first floor flat for the parish priest. It replaces the cramped former Catholic church in Stanley Road, which is set to be turned into housing.
Father Simon Blakesley said: 'Our parish has been on a journey and it's very satisfying to be arriving at our destination. I'm looking forward very much to celebrating our first masses here in this building that has surpassed my expectations in its noble simplicity.'
The new church was designed by Framlingham architects Hollins, and building contractor was Blackburns of Harleston.
It is believed to be the first church in the country dedicated to St Henry Morse, who was born in Brome, near Diss in 1595 in the middle of the Reformation. Despite the constant threat of violence and persecution, he became a Catholic priest and spent much of his ministry caring for the sick afflicted by the plague. He was charged with treason and hanged in 1645.
The new church was funded through the sale of its previous site, a loan from the diocese and support and fundraising or parishioners.
Four stained glass windows from Stowmarket's Catholic church have been restored by local artist Terri Lockton, and local craftsman and parishioner Peter Dunsmore and feature in the new church.
The altar stone is from the Carmelite convent at Langham in north Norfolk, while the figure of Jesus on the cross comes from RAF Marham and has been restored by parishioner Tony Tanousis.

Q: Another way to program "static": Is Code ok? I need some advice about how to structure of my java applications.  Personally I like to decide - like for example in python or C++ - if I program OO or not. For me, static is a way to do the same in Java.
I read, most people say static is "evil". So I thought of another option of doing the same you do with static.
What about creating a class called "StaticClasses" containing an instance of each class, which methods/attributes normally would be static.
I could create one instance of StaticClasses and set a reference to this instance in each object I create.
I could even create a new object-class mObject, which is the new parent-class of everything - directly after Object to set up these references.
And: I could make the StaticClasses class a Singleton.
Just small code examples, so you know what I mean:
// mObject.java
public class mObject{
    static StaticClasses staticCl = StaticClasses.I;
}

// StaticClasses.java
public class StaticClasses{
    public static StaticClasses I = new StaticClasses();

    // declare instance of each "static" class
    public Example0 ex0 = new Example0();
    public Example1 ex1 = new Example1();

    private StaticClasses(){
    }
}

// Example0.java
public class Example0 extends mObject{
    public void do_something(){
        System.out.println("function call example 0");
    }
}

// Example1.java
public class Example1 extends mObject{
    public void do_something2(){
        // class "static" function
        staticCl.ex0.do_something();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        // call "static" function
        staticCl.ex1.do_something2();
    }
}

Is this a good or a really bad idea? Do you know any improvements? Do you know disadvantages of this code? Static should have slightly better performance, but shouldn't make much difference. Or should I manually set up references where I need them - even if this means more complicated code.
UPDATE:
You don't like the singleton. New Code without singleton (names are not final):
// mObject.java
public class mObject{
    Classes cl;
    public mObject(Classes c){
        cl=c;
    }
}

// Classes.java
public class Classes{
    // declare instance of each "static" class
    public Example0 ex0 = new Example0(this);
    public Example1 ex1 = new Example1(this);
}

// Example0.java
public class Example0 extends mObject{
    public void do_something(){
        System.out.println("function call example 0");
    }
}

// Example1.java
public class Example1 extends mObject{
    public void do_something2(){
        // class "static" function
        cl.ex0.do_something();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        // call "static" function
        cl.ex1.do_something2();
    }
}

A: It's a lot of complication for zero benefit.  You can make a singleton instance and throw some inheritance at it, but in the end you cannot whitewash away the fact that you're still calling a static method.
Java allows static methods as a way to let you write code that is not 100% object-oriented.  For example, Math.sin(0.5) is perfectly fine; you don't want to have to write something like new Double(0.5).sin().  The advice to avoid static methods is not dogma that you need to follow — it's a general warning that you might want to consider a more object-oriented approach.  Your scheme doesn't help make things any more object-oriented at all, so it's a misguided effort.

A: It is hard to answer on an academic example. Static is evil is a general rule, and as any general rule it may have exceptions. One is the singleton pattern where the singleton object is a static variable in its class accessed through a static method. Take large well known projects like Spring Framework, and you will see that they do use static.
Static is considered evil because it is often used when another object or class would be more appropriate. A common example is the students in a university. The university name is common for all students and first idea is to make it static in student class, as for other parameters for the university. And now as the program is genial you want to extend it to another university ... and all crashes because university is static in student class : you should have a university class and an object of that class (not static) in student class
Another example would the number of objects in one class. It is generally better to have a factory object that count them than a static field : what if you later want to count separately two kinds of objects ?
For your current question the best answer is in  Boris the Spider's comment : You are avoiding one Java "edict" (static is evil) by creating something truly hideous.

Kirkwall Grammar School is a secondary school in Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland. It was established in . The current school building was opened in 2014.

History
Kirkwall Grammar School was established in 1200 when Bishop Bjarni established a cathedral school where his clergy taught singing and Latin.

In 1760, £60 was donated in order to repair and build two schools. These plans resulted in two new schools being built north of St Magnus Cathedral.

A new Kirkwall Grammar School building opened in 1973, and pupils were accommodated into the new building in groups over time, eventually all being housed in the building by summer 1975. This school building housed the city's swimming pool. It was demolished in stages starting in Autumn 2011, and in December 2013 the building shut its doors to pupils. The rest of the building was demolished in January 2014, and the site it sat on became the playing fields for the new building.

The new Kirkwall Grammar School building opened for pupils at the start of the new term in January 2014, but was officially opened in June 2014 by Alex Salmond.

Intake
Kirkwall Grammar School accepts pupils from Papdale Primary School, Glaitness Primary School, St Andrews Primary School, Burray Primary School, Hope Community School, Orphir Community School, Shapinsay Community School, Rousay Community School, Flotta Community School, Eday Community School, North Ronaldsay Primary School and Egilsay Community School.
The school also takes in pupils from North Walls Junior High School once they reach S3, and Sanday, Westray and Stronsay Junior High Schools when they reach S5 or S6.

Pupils from the primary schools in the KGS catchment area attend the school for two transition days in June before the summer holidays where they are assigned their classes and timetable and given a taster of the school. After the summer holidays they attend the school full time.

Houses
The houses in Kirkwall Grammar School are:

Copinsay (Yellow)
Eynhallow (Red)
Fara (Blue)

The houses are named after uninhabited Orkney islands, and were chosen via a school vote in April 2016. They were adopted in August 2016, at the start of the new term.

The new houses came into effect after the summer holidays of 2016, replacing the six original houses.
The old KGS houses were named after Orkney beaches; Berstane, Dingieshowe, Inganess, Newark, Scapa and Waulkmill.

Notable former pupils

 James Aitken, (1613-1687), Church of Scotland bishop
 Sir James David Marwick, (1826-1908), lawyer, historian and town clerk
 William Peddie, (1861-1946), physicist and applied mathematician
 Stanley Cursiter, (1887-1976), artist
 Robert Rendall, (1898-1967), poet
 Alexander Burt Taylor, (1904-1972), civil servant
 Peter Marshall, (1964- ), historian of the Reformation
 Liam McArthur, (1967- ), Member of the Scottish Parliament for Orkney
 Neil Gray, (1986- ), Member of the Scottish Parliament for Airdrie and Shotts

Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have so much in common right now. The two Keeping Up with the Kardashians stars both have adorable new baby girls in their homes, with Kylie welcoming her first child with boyfriend Travis Scott and Kim joining Kanye West in changing diapers for their second daughter, born via surrogate. But their mutual joy over having new babies to love reportedly hasn't stopped Jenner and Kardashian from hot arguments over Travis Scott, according to a new report from Hollywood Life.
New dad Travis appears to have made the decision to welcome his new baby in an unusual way: a face tattoo. The word "free" is visible under Scott's eye. But although Kylie reportedly has no issues with her baby daddy's new ink, big sister Kim Kardashian feels very differently, an insider told Hollywood Life. However, Kim's reportedly "judgmental" attitude isn't changing Jenner's enthusiasm for her boyfriend, said the source.
In contrast, Kardashian reportedly feels that Jenner's baby daddy made a serious mistake in getting such a noticeable new tattoo. Admitting that Travis' face ink is a "little shocking," the insider revealed that Kylie and Kim disagreed so strongly about the tattoo that they fought.
The alleged fight between Jenner and Kardashian initially focused on a tattoo. But the insider claims that more than a face tattoo fueled the sisters' fight. Kylie allegedly feels that Kim needs to focus on her own life rather than analyzing Jenner's relationship.
While it's not known how Travis feels about Kim's alleged judgment on his tattoo, the new father has shown his pride in his baby girl. He joined Kylie in turning to Instagram to share a photo of their precious daughter.
Beyond having a baby together, Kylie and Travis reportedly are teaming up to experiment with a new business. Jenner and her boyfriend see themselves as a team, and they view creating video games as a way to make their relationship even stronger, said the insider.
Although Kylie and her baby daddy are somewhat anxious about trying something so different, they have a "super excited" attitude, according to the source. They are enjoying learning about the new venture. In addition to changing their baby's diapers together, creating a new business is "something tangible that they can do together as a team," added the insider.

Seexeng Lee '97 explores Hmong identity through art
Growing up as a child, art was the only way I knew how to conceive images and meanings. I naturally found peace when I physically produced visual images to each of my father's stories. With nothing but wooden sticks and a dirt floor as my canvas, my imagination went to work. My very first piece of art was an elephant. And from there as each story visually came alive in my imagination, so did the dirt canvas in my parent's hut. I knew then I wanted to be an artist.
–Seexeng Lee, Hmong artist
To celebrate Asian Heritage Month, the Augsburg Asian Student Association has invited Seexeng Lee '97 to share an exploration of the Hmong identity through his creative work. Lee is a nationally recognized artist and educator who currently teaches in the Minneapolis Public Schools.
Lee graduated from Augsburg College with a degree in studio art and secondary education. He has been teaching art in Minneapolis for 11 years and currently teaches at Patrick Henry High School.
Lee's presentation is intended to help the Augsburg community learn more about the Hmong culture and their struggles from the past, present, and future to adapting to the American way of life. He will explain how he expresses his identity and seeks to preserve his culture through art.
His recent commissions include "Immigration Emotions," a 20-foot mural for the city of Wadena and "Convergence," a signature sculpture for the atrium of the North Point Health and Wellness Center. He received a Cultural STAR Grant to create "Unity in Diversity," a relief painting that was unveiled at the 2007 Dragon Festival. He recently completed a 24-foot community art project called "One as We are One." This mural consists of 644 individual tiles painted by members the Hmong Cultural and Language Summer Camp.

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN, March 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC), a leading global supplier of high-performance test systems and position sensors, today announced the expansion of Test Services capabilities in its Berlin facility. This expansion was driven by growing customer demand in Europe, which not only represents a meaningful portion of the installed base of MTS test equipment, but is also a key market for long-term growth of new, highly sophisticated Test equipment, driven by the European automotive OEM's and other key research laboratories.
"This expansion of local service and system integration capability in Europe is vital to our growth strategy in both the equipment and services arena," stated Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of MTS. "As we develop new capabilities locally, we are better able to work with our customers to help expand and enhance their testing operations. This is particularly important given the ever more demanding local compliance standards that our customers must meet in operating their facilities. By having local service capability we can respond faster to our customers' needs and ensure that their MTS equipment is operating to its full capability at all times throughout its life."
As an example of the value offered to MTS European customers with the renovations and upgrade of the Berlin facility, MTS was able to rapidly respond to a recent German automotive customer's request for support in expanding their testing capabilities in the laboratory of an Eastern European affiliate. By conducting the work locally in Germany, MTS was able to deliver the needed system three weeks ahead of schedule, and successfully install it at the customer site within one week of the customer acceptance at the Berlin facility. This capability to rapidly address the needs of European Test customers will enhance customer satisfaction and further stimulate demand for MTS products and services in the years ahead.

Ssshhhh—don't tell anyone, but Orlando isn't the only state that's been hit with a jihadist attack during the Muslim holiday Ramadan. There's been a rash of them happening all over the place, but other than Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch, you probably didn't know.
This Muslim killed the policeman and his wife with a knife. Clearly we need knife control.
French police sources said the unnamed killer had pledged allegiance to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
He stabbed the 42-year-old officer, who held the rank of "commandant" (commander), nine times in the stomach at his front door. After stabbing the policeman, the attacker forced his way into the home.
It was unclear how the policeman's wife was killed. She worked as a secretary at a local police station.
A MUSLIM man has stabbed a teenage girl three times as a "sacrifice" during the holy month of Ramadan, according to reports.
Lawyers claim the the 19-year-old was knifed twice in the wrist and once in the abdomen during the Islamic month of fasting.
The man, 32, is said to have told police he had heard voices ordering him to "commit a sacrifice" to coincide with Ramadan.
He has been sent to a psychiatric hospital and the girl's wounds are not life-threatening, according to a lawyer in Rennes, France.
The attack is believed to have taken place outside the city's Lycee Chateaubriand, where the girl studied, at 4pm local time.
The man, who has not been identified, reportedly told officers he was Muslim before handing the blade to them.
A small group of Islamist militants in the Philippines, known as Abu Sayyaf, has beheaded a second Canadian hostage in two months, authorities said Tuesday.
"We strongly condemn the brutal and senseless murder of Mr. Robert Hall, a Canadian national, after being held captive by the Abu Sayyaf group in Sulu for the past nine months," Herminio Coloma, a representative for the Philippines President Benigno Aquino, said in a statement, according to AFP. A head believed to belong to Hall, 58, was found Monday on an island near an Abu Sayyaf outpost.
In April, the same group decapitated Canadian John Ridsdel, a 68-year-old businessman. Gunmen had kidnapped Ridsdel and Hall, along with Hall's Filipina partner Marites Flor and a resort manager from Norway named Kjartan Sekkingstad, from the island of Samal in September….
Abu Sayyaf has a decades-long history of taking hostages and demanding ransoms, which both the Canadian and Philippine governments oppose paying. AFP reports that Abu Sayyaf murdered Hall when a $6.5 million ransom demand was not met….

I was happy enough with MotionJoy (I don't begrudge them their ad revenue), but my main problem with it was that the Bluetooth drivers would stop working after sleep or hibernation...each time I'd have to roll back and re-install to get it working again. This solution doesn't seem to have that issue.
Just a question though...does it just keep the server running in the background at all times? With MJ when I closed the program I believe the server itself shuts down. Is there a way to start and stop the server with this solution? I'd rather not have extra services running in the background at all times if I can avoid it.
Unfortunately, I have to take it back...after coming out of hibernation this morning I had the same problem I used to have with MotionJoy except worse apparently. SCP Monitor just says "Host Adress : <Error>".
With MotionJoy I could get it working again by rolling back and re-installing the drivers, then turning the Bluetooth off and on again. This does not seem to work with with SCP.
Anybody know any way to make the drivers stick, or do I have to go back to MotionJoy?
1. Is there any way to use the L3 and R3 buttons?
2. Is it possible to use PS button as ordinary button?
However, I've recently encountered a problem where Windows 7 would disconnect and reconnect the controller in game whenever Rumble is activated outside a certain timeframe, and the OS would play the USB connect sound. I am not sure if this problem has been reported before.
I am using the latest update (even though problem has occurred in previous literations) with a DS3 controller via USB, on Win 7 64bit.
One more bump in hope for help.
Had this issue before when I had the controller connected with a small USB hub (it even locked up and needed a reset after doing this a couple times), but did not occur when I had the controller directly plugged into my laptop.
My guess is that the controller needs full USB power when rumble is active and needs to be connected directly to the computer to revive the power needed.
I have tried doing a clean installation but I am not quite sure how do do that, so I have unistalled several drivers i could see were related to xbox and ps3 controller drivers, but now when i plug in my controller, windows does not install the default drivers, I am thinking this is quite a big of a problem.
about l3 and r3 i use them with the emulators and games without problems already.
I'm new here, so first of all a big thanks to Scarlet.Crush for that brilliant driver and for keeping it open source!
It turns out I also bought a fake PS3 controller without knowing. The thing looks absolutely genuie, until you open it and discover the blue battery pack without any warnings or labels on it.
While it works fine over USB, the driver just does not recognize the gamepad over Bluetooth.
Turns out that whoever made the controller, managed to put a spelling mistake in the Bluetooth ID.
I think it would be a very helpful feature to make the Bluetooth ID user-configurable in the SCP driver. Maybe with a small config file.
I found a post, showing how to disable the relevant check in the code and ..voila.. Bluetooth worked perfectly.
However, I'm not sure what these Service Channel Requests are used for. Maybe Scarlet does know more about that.
So, if anyone is still having trouble with non-genuie PS3 controllers, I have attached the modified and compiled ScpControl.dll file. Just replace the original one and reinstall the drivers.
Hi, dont work with SCP-DS3-Driver-Package-1.1.0.136. replaced DLL causes service not work.
I have non-geniue controller and I have problems with connection via blue tooth with BT211. I try everything and nothing solved my problem.

December through February period 9th coldest, supports persisting drought
March 3, 2014 By Mike Lear
February in Missouri was 9 degrees colder than normal and capped off a meteorological winter that could rank the ninth coldest on record, and the coldest in 35 years.
This graphic, courtesy of the Missouri Climate Center, shows the average temperature for Missouri in February going back to 1895.
State climatologist Pat Guinan at the University of Missouri says December, January and February all had below normal temperatures and of them, February was the coldest. He says preliminary data indicates a state average temperatures of 25 degrees Farenheit. Temperatures in northern Missouri were 12 degrees Fahrenheit below normal and in southern Missouri temperatures were 9 degrees colder.
That would make February 2014 the coldest since 1979.
"It was the jet stream," Guinan says when asked why the last three months were so cold. "This winter it's been incredibly stubborn. We've had a ridge of high pressure that has been parked off the West Coast bringing, of course, severe drought conditions to California for much of the winter … that actually drove the jet stream up into Canada and diving back down into the middle part of the country. That was basically an open avenue for all this arctic air just to come in reinforcing shots in December, January and on into February."
Based on weather records that go back to 1895, Guinan says the past three months averaged 5 degrees Fahrenheit colder than any previous December through February period.
Guinan says the cold has impacted everyone in the state.
"Everybody witnessed higher heating bills because of these temperatures. Anybody who was working out doors, it was very stressful. Not to mention for people but for livestock and pets. I'm sure in the cattle industry it was difficult. Ranchers had to chop ice probably on a daily basis to get water for their livestock, and feeding hay … with these cold temperatures I'm sure there was higher demand for nutrition from the hay for the cattle."
Parts of Missouri are as much as 10″ below normal for precipitation since July 1, 2013.
As for precipitation, Guinan says the past three months in Missouri were below normal, but above normal for snowfall.
"It's still dry across much of Missouri," Guinan says. "On the other hand … it's been so cold that most of the precipitation events that did occur across Missouri fell in the form of snow or ice. That was sort of the irony behind that."
The prolonged cold has exacerbated the drought in another way. Guinan says the ground in Missouri froze beginning in early December, and to a deeper level than usual. That has meant less of the precipitation that did fall soaked into the ground when it did thaw.
Some parts of the state are more than 10 inches below normal for accumulated precipitation since July 1, 2013. Guinan says significant precipitation events will be needed to replenish soil profiles and refill surface water supplies.

The Propaganda Campaigns: Anti-Semitism and Israel's Killing of Arabs
Concurrent with the anti-Russia propaganda frenzy in the United Kingdom there has been a series of intensive political attacks mounted against the leader of the opposition party in parliament, Jeremy Corbyn. Politics being politics, such an offensive is not unusual, and he has been declared by several newspapers to be a Kremlin Stooge because he cautioned against the hysterical reaction to the poisoning of British spy and former Russian citizen, Sergei Skripal, and observed objectively that "To rush way ahead of the evidence being gathered by the police, in a fevered parliamentary atmosphere, serves neither justice nor our national security." The fact that he's being proved right should be embarrassing for the propagandists, but it is irrelevant in today's bigoted Britain.
The extremist papers didn't stop the insults, and mounted another vicious campaign against him, involving the tried and proven propaganda weapon of accusing a target of being anti-Semitic, a description that is intended to conjure up images of concentration camps, piles of emaciated bodies, and hideously disfigured survivors of Hitler's evil attempts to eradicate Jews from Germany. This gutter ploy is usually successful.
It may be coincidence that the anti-Corbyn onslaught reached its publicity peak at the time when Israeli soldiers killed sixteen Arabs in the Gaza Strip (two more died later), and it is notable that UK media cover of the killings was modest and almost disappeared under the weight of anti-Corbyn diatribes. (And let me make it clear that I am no admirer of Corbyn : he's a machine political figure whose scruffy appearance appals me, although I have to say I consider he is one of the few UK politicians who sticks to his principles and doesn't fiddle his expenses as so many continue to do.)
In its excellent summation of daily newspapers' news and opinion the BBC recorded on 30 March that there was not one front page headline about the Gaza slaughter. The papers concentrated largely on nationalistic trivia, and the deliberate killing of sixteen unarmed Arabs by Israeli soldiers scored but a few sentences deep inside.
Then on 1 April "A number of leader columns discuss the anti-Semitism row that continues to trouble Labour — and none are kind. 'Labour has become the nasty party,' says the Telegraph… while the Sun insists the Labour leader 'can't erase his past'."
On and on went the propaganda tide with the anti-Semitic theme, while on and on went the little-reported grieving and funerals in Gaza. There was no doubt that Israel's military had fired on and killed unarmed Arabs according to a long-standing plan. Indeed, even the Washington Post acknowledged that "Israel's defence minister said that the military will not change its tough response to Hamas-led mass protests near Gaza's border with Israel, warning that those who approach the border are putting their lives at risk. Avigdor Lieberman spoke near Gaza, where 18 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire Friday."
The Israelis are determined to go on killing Arabs. On 29 March an official Israeli website posted a video showing a young Arab shot in leg with the comment that "This is the least that anyone who tries to cross the security fence between Gaza and Israel will face." On 30 March Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman tweeted in Arabic that "Anyone who approaches the border puts his life in jeopardy."
As recorded by Human Rights Watch, "Footage of demonstrations published by the Israeli army includes no evidence of firearms. The army published a video purporting to show two men firing at Israeli troops on March 30, but noted that this took place in northern Gaza Strip, not on the eastern border where the Land Day demonstrations took place. No demonstrators can be seen in the video."
The Zionist propaganda is published ad nauseam by most western media, along with supportive Editorial and Opinion comment — although to be fair, the Washington Post did have the decency to note that "Two-thirds of Gaza's 2 million people are descendants of refugees. Life in Gaza has become increasingly harsh after more than a decade of closures, with residents enduring daily power outages lasting hours."
Human Rights Watch "reviewed footage it believes authentic based on an interview with the videographer that appears to show a demonstrator shot in the leg while praying and another video showing a man shot while throwing a rock. Other videos reviewed appear to show demonstrators shot while slowly walking toward the border empty-handed or holding only a Palestinian flag or retreating from the border. Interviews with six witnesses, including three journalists, indicated that soldiers shot at men who were in the area between the encampments and the fence but who posed no grave threat to anyone across the fence."
These soldiers are murderers in uniform — but if you criticise Israelis it is verging on the automatic that you will be labelled "anti-Semitic." The dark shadows of the Holocaust are cast selectively.
Some forty distinguished British academics wrote a open letter, published on 2 April, that among other things observed that "One of the main concepts in journalism education is that of framing: the highlighting of particular issues, and the avoidance of others, in order to produce a desired interpretation. We have been reminded of the importance of framing when considering the vast amounts of media coverage of Jeremy Corbyn's alleged failure to deal with antisemitism inside the Labour party. On Sunday, three national titles led with the story while news bulletins focused on the allegations all last week…"
Where is the criticism in the UK's newspapers of the butchery in Gaza? Where, for that matter, is the criticism of Israel that should have been raised in Britain's Parliament? And in the United States Congress?
Reuters reported that "UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an independent, transparent investigation" into the Gaza slaughter, but a proposed statement by the Security Council that there should be "respect for international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including protection of civilians," was blocked by the United States, from which action it must be concluded that Washington does not believe in human rights law and protection of civilians.
Only one member of the US Congress criticised Israel for the killings. This isn't surprising, because, as Foreign Policy Journal reported in 2016, at the "annual Policy Conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee" the speakers included "30 members of the US Congress, 25 of whom received 2016 contributions from pro-Israel PACs and individuals, averaging $36,000 per recipient ($908,000 in total) . . ."
In pristine Britain, the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI), a powerful and well-funded group of governing politicians, records with pride that "119 Conservative Members of Parliament, peers [members of the UK's ridiculous Upper House of Parliament], senior party officials, and activists visited Israel with CFI between the May 2015 General Election and December 2017." Nobody knows the depth of Zionist support there is in the cesspool of British politics.
It is not surprising that the UK-US pro-Israel propaganda campaign is thriving. Just as there is no doubt that the killing of Arabs will continue without criticism. If a government representative of almost any other nation but Israel declared that anyone approaching its border would be killed, there would be outrage in Washington and London. But the Zionists can get away with murder.

Solution home CoPilot FAQs Routing
How do I route to a Site?
Modified on: Oct 16, 2018
(Requires v10.7 release or higher with CoPilot FleetPortal enabled)
A Site extends a location from just a name and address to include a boundary polygon around its perimeter, entry and exit points (gates), and other valuable information. For example, a Site could be a warehouse, a shopping mall, a distribution center, a yard, a business park, and more. Routing to a Site can provide more accurate directions and time and distance estimates, as well as other details a driver needs to avoid getting lost, feeling stressed or wasting time.
How Site Routing Works
Adding Site-Specific Details
Delivery of Site Information to CoPilot
Notes on Sites
Traditional routing sends a driver to an address or a latitude/longitude point, which may not be the proper truck or delivery entrance. By creating a site, you can specify exactly where a driver needs to approach, enter and exit the stop.
If a Site includes an internal road network, CoPilot will route directly to the driver's final stop. Once the driver arrives, CoPilot switches to a 2D overview to help orient the driver within the Site.
If the Site does not include an internal road network, CoPilot switches to a 2D overview after arrival at the gate and draws a straight line to help direct the driver to where his or her stop is within the Site.
Upon approach to the Site's gate, CoPilot can also provide the driver with a short pop up message that is specific to that particular Site and gate—perhaps things like parking information or details about the delivery location itself, including warnings about hazards (overhangs, etc.). Messages are shown on the CoPilot screen and spoken upon approach to the Site's gate. These Site notes are written and stored in ALK Content Tools when each gate is created within a Site.
Sites are created around custom Places in the ALK Content Tools web tool and then shared with CoPilot for use in routing. ALK Content Tools also includes thousands of predefined Places with Sites (created by ALK) for distribution centers, intermodal terminals and truck stops. In the event that a user creates a Site on top of an predefined Site, CoPilot will always prefer the user's custom Site over the predefined Site.
NOTE: User created content is private and is not shared outside of your account.

Similar to custom Places or Route Modifiers (avoids/favors), Sites are sent to the CoPilot device via the CoPilot FleetPortal web tool. Sites are applied to routing by default—there is no option to turn off Sites in the CoPilot user interface. However, Sites can be disabled with a configuration that can be sent via CoPilot FleetPortal.
Site information is not automatically downloaded and stored on the CoPilot device—it is delivered on-demand, which requires that the device have a WiFi or a cellular network connection. When you run a route in CoPilot:
1. CoPilot will check its local cache of previously routed Sites, and it will use that Site information if it applies to one of the stops on your current route.
2. CoPilot will also make a web service call to check for:
A newer version of a locally cached Site on your route. If a newer version is found, then the Site data is returned to CoPilot and used in routing. Otherwise, nothing is returned.
Any version of a Site for stops on your current route with no locally cached Site.
3. Each time a stop is called when creating a new route, CoPilot will check again for updated Site information.
Sites are not searchable in CoPilot but are associated with Places, which are searchable.
The Sites feature supports truck and auto vehicle routing profiles. ALK Sites have both auto and truck gates. ALK Content Tools also allows the user to choose which vehicle types are permitted when adding gates to a Site.
If the roads around a Site include custom Route Modifiers, the Modifiers will be taken into consideration when the route to that Site is generated.
In order for Sites routing to work properly, the stop must fall within the Site boundary. If you have a custom Place located just outside of a Site and choose that Place as a stop, the Site information will not be applied to routing.
You don't need to create multiple Sites for a single physical location that contains distinct customer or work type locations (e.g. cold vs. dry dock, customer vs. pallet provider, multiple warehouse tenants). You could have any number of custom Places that inherit the Site gates and routing from a single Site, as long as they all fall within that Site's boundaries.


John 15:14 "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."
When the greatest enemies come around, the male lion is there to protect the pride. Protection of territory and the pride involves continuous fighting from life to death.
Jesus Christ is the Lion of Judah. He is the King; He protects His bride. Just like the male lion lays down his life for the pride, Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, layed down His life for you. "GOD with us", in the flesh, was Jesus Christ, born of a virgin woman. The Savior was a perfect man. It was a perfect man that laid down his life for your sins. Jesus is the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, who never loses.
Revelation 5:4 "And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon."
Revelation 5:5 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."
Christ is the KING of Kings, LORD of lords, and the Key Master, who holds the Key of David. The master key openeth all doors to truth, because Jesus is the truth. He withstood and rebuked satan's temptation in the wilderness. Jesus lived a perfect life in every way. He conquered death and came out of the tomb. Jesus Christ is the only one that can open your mind to the Scriptures.
Psalm 22:16 "For dogs have compassed me: The congregation of the breakers up have inclosed me: As a lion they break up my hands and my feet."
Psalm 22:21 "Save me from the lion's mouth: Yea Thou hast answered me [and delivered me] from the horns of the bulls."
Psalm 22 was written one thousand years before the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Psalm of crucifixion. Jesus taught this entire chapter as He hung on the cross before His death, burial and resurrection. Are you now beginning to understand how important the Scriptures should be to you?
Christ is the Lion of GOD, or Ariel (also a symbolic name for Jerusalem), and He defeated death. The enemy lions and satan lost. Through death, Christ destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, satan. Jesus had to go to the cross to redeem us from death. At Jesus' death and resurrection, the entire world, meaning all peoples, had the opportunity to repent, to be forgiven of their sins, and to receive salvation for their souls. Jesus laid down His life for all those who believe, and repent, so His blood opened salvation to all.
When trouble comes your way, your wife might run the other direction, and you'd accept that. But it doesn't go the other way around. A husband is always ready to lay down his life for his wife, and the husband and wife for the children. There is a natural order of things as set by ALMIGHTY GOD. Never try to change that. Everything makes sense when you follow Christ's way. Turn things upside down, and you have the law of reversal, which is satan's doctrine. Get it?
Wars throughout history have been fought by men. In the U.S., women have always been exempt from the draft. Up until now, you've never heard of feminists wanting to be drafted into war. You also don't hear them ask for the exact same physical tests and standards, as men, to qualify for positions in law enforcement or the military.
Feminists don't complain about the disproportionate number of men, over women, that hold dangerous jobs in construction; fisheries; heavy equipment operation; electrical power installation; steelworks; garbage disposal; and logging. Why? Because women are generally risk-averse. Of course, there will always be some exceptions and that can be a positive thing. War is high risk and so is business. There aren't as many female CEOs and bosses, only because women generally don't like high risk work.
Most women still want men to open doors for them. They also prefer male bosses over female ones. Just ask around, of course, don't do it at your workplace. Try asking your friends and family. Most women prefer to watch all-male sports and nobody wants to have an all-female military fighting against an enemy nation, at least not anyone in their right mind.
Both men and women have shed blood for the freedoms of this nation, as well as the history of all nations, but it's mostly men. The next time that you find yourself losing respect for your man, over trivial things, look into his eyes and know that he'd lay down his life for you, even on a day when you might not deserve it. So, the male lion remains king and protector of the pride.
Ephesians 5:20 "Giving thanks always for all things unto GOD and the FATHER in the name of our Lord Jesus CHRIST;"
Ephesians 5:21 "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of GOD."
Ephesians 5:22 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord."
Ephesians 5:23 "For the husband is the head of the wife, even as CHRIST is the head of the church: and He is the saviour of the body."
Ephesians 5:24 "Therefore as the church is subject unto CHRIST, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."
Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, even as CHRIST also loved the church, and gave Himself for it;"
Men aren't gods, neither are women. It's not about who's better, because men and women are different, having different roles and responsibilities. We all have different and unique gifts. Remember, Jesus said the greatest among you shall be the least. If you spend your entire life comparing physical traits or roles, measuring all things by carnal measurements and worldly standards, you'll never be living in the Spirit.
You can be equally gifted, yet unequaled, possessing different gifts and traits. All of the races, both men and women, created by GOD, are equally gifted, yet they are all unique. Equality doesn't mean everything has to be the same; that would be a clone. GOD created the races, of all colors, both male and female, in His image and the angels. GOD said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" in the Book of Genesis. And He saw everything that He made and said it was very good!
