The adjustable shoulder strap fits over body armor, chest pouches, hydration systems, and other mission-essential equipment. The carbine version's positioning of the front strap attachment (at the delta ring) offers excellent balance, safe muzzle orientation and easy traversing capability. The BATTL 2 Sling also offers a quick and easy transition between strong-side and weak-side firing positions.


For the first time, due to the Representation of the People Act, working-class men over 21 years and women over 30 years (under certain conditions) could vote in parliamentary elections. In Ireland, this resulted in a land-slide victory for Sinn Féin who took 73 of the 105 Irish seats at Westminster and went on to form the first Dáil in Dublin on the 21st of January 1919.
Indeed, County Wicklow returned two Sinn Féin TD's to that first sitting of the Dáil in 1919 - Sean Etchingham for the constituency of East Wicklow (the IRB man defeated Irish Party candidate D.J. Cogan) and Robert Barton for the constituency of West Wicklow.
The election was arguably one of the most important events in the creation of the Irish republic, but it was preceded by dramatic reform in Irish local democracy with the formation of the county council system in 1899. The old Grand Juries and Boards of Guardians, dominated by the landowning classes, were replaced by democratically elected county councillors. The Local Government (Ireland) Act of 1898 also extended the franchise to most occupiers of property and included women for the first time. As a result, nationalist candidates won the majority of seats and most county councils, including Wicklow, were predominantly nationalist.
Robert Childers Barton of Annamoe, an extensive landowner and former British army officer joined the republican movement having been greatly impacted by witnessing the treatment of the 1916 rebels. At that first Dáil sitting in 1919, as TD for West Wicklow, he was named first minister for agriculture. Establishing the National Land Bank, Barton worked with the Land Commission and the Dáil courts to redistribute land through co-operative farming societies.
"Wicklow people will remember that it was only after pressure was brought to bear on you that you, with much reluctance accepted the responsibility entailed ..... how heavy those responsibilities proved to be, none of us could then foretell, but as time went on, and the conflict became more severe, we knew that we had chosen rightly when we appointed you as the standard-bearer of our liberties".
After the election of Fianna Fail in 1932, Barton eventually returned to public life serving as chairman of the Agricultural Credit Corporation and later Bórd na Móna among other public appointments and commissions.

The Kingdom Divided: Israel Splits between Rehoboam & Jeroboam
During the civil war in the United States 620,000 people died, because a kingdom had been divided. The nation divided politically, over the issue of slavery, and the northern states fought a long bloody war to end slavery forever in the USA. In the end they were victorious, but the cost was more than half a million lives.
Americans can be pretty stubborn right? Even today we see our nation just as divided, if not more divided ideologically than even during the civil war. Jesus said a house divided against itself cannot stand. And we'll see today, that the splitting of the kingdom of Israel, between Judah and the northern kingdom would be a crippling blow to the nation.
Last week we explored the life of King Solomon, the wisest king who ever lived. But despite all his wisdom, in the end he turned away from the Lord and his many wives led him to worship false gods. In any case, one of Solomon's sons was named Rehoboam. And he would be the next king after Solomon died.
But we also see this other person, his name is Jeroboam (no relation to Solomon) and he also seeks the throne. In fact God has told Jeroboam that he will be enthroned over 10 tribes of Israel. He tries during Solomon's life to claim it from him, but instead has to flee to Egypt. Then after Solomon's death, we see Jeroboam once again attempting to claim the throne.
Ok, so remember, Rehoboam, with an R, is Solomon's son and King. Jeroboam, with a J, is this new king who God says will sit on the throne. Alright? Awesome. You can turn in your Bibles to 1st King chapter 12. And it says this:
"Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. 3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him: 4 "Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you."
5 Rehoboam answered, "Go away for three days and then come back to me." So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. "How would you advise me to answer these people?" he asked.
7 They replied, "If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants."
8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, "What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, 'Lighten the yoke your father put on us'?"
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, "These people have said to you, 'Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.' Now tell them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist. 11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.'"
So we see Jeroboam return from Egypt, and basically stirring up trouble against Rehoboam. He gathers a bunch of people with him and goes to Rehoboam and tells him to be kind to them and treat them well.
Rehoboam asks them to wait three days. He consults two groups of people for advice, the elders, and his buddies from growing up. And he decides to go with the advice of his young friends.
So Rehoboam goes before the people and tells them he will not be lightening any loads for them. In fact he's going to be even more severe than his father Solomon.
And we're all doing a face plant right here. All Rehoboam had to do was say alright, I won't be quite as hard on you as Solomon was. I won't work you quite as hard. And everything would've been OK. But instead Rehoboam allows pride to get in the way, takes some bad advice, and ends up making people even more upset.
This is a good life lesson for us today: There will be critical moments where we can either make things worse, or diffuse the situation. We'll want to respond with anger and pride, but instead if we take the humble road, and respond kindly, we'll diffuse a dangerous situation.
Has anyone here been in an argument with someone, and one of you said something, or gave some ground, that allowed the argument to diffuse, and fade away? That's always a nice moment in a fight, when we come to some sort of resolution. We allow the anger to pass and then healing can start.
And have you ever been in that moment, of a fight, and one of you said the exact wrong thing, and it made the argument ten times worse? And maybe it even led to a total break of a friendship or relationship.
We'll see that Rehoboam's harsh reply causes massive consequences for Israel.
It says again in 1st King 12:18-24: "18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram, who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
20 When all the Israelites heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David."
So Rehoboam rides out to put everyone to work and they rebel instead. The nation splits! The northern tribes gather under Jeroboam and make him King. And the tribe of Judah rallies around Rehoboam, and he is king over Judah. Rehoboam's response is to plan to go to war.
It continues, "21 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mustered all Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand able young men—to go to war against Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam son of Solomon.
22 But this word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God: 23 "Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, to all Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, 24 'This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.'" So they obeyed the word of the Lord and went home again, as the Lord had ordered."
Rehoboam is ready to reunite the kingdom. But Shemaiah, prophet of God, hears from the Lord and relays a message to the king, to not do that. Remember how during this period of Israel's history we'll always see a king who rules, and a prophet who speaks God's instructions to the kings.
God says, don't go to war, I'm the one who allowed this to happen. But why did God bring this about? I assume, because of the failures of King David, and the failures of Solomon, and the rebelliousness of the people. So be it, you're going to be divided then. That's just my opinion, but it seems right.
So first we see in 1st Kings, the history of Jeroboam's life explored. The kingdom has divided into Judah, and Samaria. As life continues after the split, Jeroboam sees that as the various Jewish festivals occur, his people in Samaria will have to start going to Solomon's temple in Jerusalem to do that. So he worries that when his people in Samaria go to Jerusalem to celebrate the festivals, that he will lose control over the people in Samaria.
It says in 1st Kings 12:26-30 " Jeroboam thought to himself, "The kingdom will now likely revert to the house of David. 27 If these people go up to offer sacrifices at the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, they will again give their allegiance to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah. They will kill me and return to King Rehoboam."
28 After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt." 29 One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan. 30 And this thing became a sin; the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other."
Nightmare! Not good! So Jeroboam doesn't want his people going to Jerusalem. So he sets up two golden calves for the people to worship God before the golden calves. Bad idea. Doesn't this guy know history? During the exodus under Moses, the people rebelled and worshipped a golden calf.
Always remember those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Study history my friends. It's important. So Samaria is in big trouble now they are worshipping calves and it's bad.
There's wisdom for us today here. Know history. Understand who God is. Understand what the Bible teaches us about the world around us. Many Christians I know in the world today are totally deceived by the ideals of the world. I will talk to them, and they parrot the ideologies of the world, word for word, spoon fed to them by the news media and our culture. And you see them lining up on the side of Satan, and supporting evil ideologies and political viewpoints. And it's very sad. They've been deceived, and they are actually supporting evil, thinking that they being a good Christian by supporting those things. Turn off the television, don't trust the news media, do your own research. Most importantly pray for discernment, and know your Bible in and out. All of it.
So God sees that Jeroboam is doing bad stuff. So he sends a man of God, to speak to Jeroboam. It says in 1st Kings 13:1-6 "By the word of the Lord a man of God came from Judah to Bethel, as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make an offering. 2 By the word of the Lord he cried out against the altar: "Altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: 'A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.'" 3 That same day the man of God gave a sign: "This is the sign the Lord has declared: The altar will be split apart and the ashes on it will be poured out."
4 When King Jeroboam heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, he stretched out his hand from the altar and said, "Seize him!" But the hand he stretched out toward the man shriveled up, so that he could not pull it back. 5 Also, the altar was split apart and its ashes poured out according to the sign given by the man of God by the word of the Lord.
6 Then the king said to the man of God, "Intercede with the Lord your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored." So the man of God interceded with the Lord, and the king's hand was restored and became as it was before."
God will always warn us when we're headed the wrong direction. He'll send a friend to us. Or he'll speak to us through the Bible, or through prayer, and he'll warn us. Watch for that, as you make decisions. And obey the Lord. We see that at first, Jeroboam listens to the man of God, and repents. But it doesn't last long.
It says in 1st King 13:33-34 33 "Even after this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways, but once more appointed priests for the high places from all sorts of people. Anyone who wanted to become a priest he consecrated for the high places. 34 This was the sin of the house of Jeroboam that led to its downfall and to its destruction from the face of the earth."
So Jeroboam really does poorly and so his leadership as king of Samaria is a disaster. Turn in your Bibles to 1st King chapters 14, and go down to verse 21. Here we see the author turning to Rehoboam's leadership. It says he became king at the age of 41, and ruled for 17 years. And he does just as bad as Jeroboam did in the north.
It says in 1st Kings 14:22-24 "Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord. By the sins they committed they stirred up his jealous anger more than those who were before them had done. 23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred stones and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every spreading tree. 24 There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites."
As a result you'll see that Egypt would invade Judah and cause much destruction. In the next few chapters we see various kings indicated for Israel in the north and Judah in the south, and what they did when they were king. It's history. That's what a lot of the Bible is, is ancient history. Real stuff.
Israel has all bad kings. They don't have any good kings during this time. But Judah does have at least some good kings over this time period. King Asa of Judah does well. Meanwhile Israel goes from bad to worse, they have kings Elah and Zimri who are both evil terrible kings. And then they get the worst one yet, named King Ahab. The name may sound familiar. An important biblical figure. We see King Ahab, as leader of Israel, and he takes a foreign wife, who worships Baal. Baal is basically Satan. Just a very evil false god. So at the conclusion of our message today, we see King Ahab and his wife Jezebel being the leaders over Israel. They turn much of Israel against God and toward the worship of Baal and the Asherahs sadly. But God isn't done yet. He's about to raise up prophets who will do mighty things in His name.
So in conclusion today, there is a final message for us today in the sad saga of the splitting of Israel. Remember, to be a peacemaker, like Jesus calls us to be. Jesus was the ultimate peacemaker. He mended disagreements. He was at peace with people as much as he could. But he also divided people. Because the truth does divide people. And we all have a choice to make. We have an ultimate choice to make in our lives. God honors our free will choice. Choice is sacred, a gift from God.
Will we choose the way of peace, the way of love, the way of holiness and serve the Lord God Almighty? Or will we choose the easy path, of sin, pleasure, selfishness, and death?
It's really amazing to me, how many choose the road of sin. It's easy. Sin is appealing. The flesh is always crying out for pleasure. That's the wide road to destruction. Many walk on it.
Sure, you can fool me. Your pastor. You can say the right things to me, to keep in the dark. But ultimately that doesn't really matter. I'm not going to be judging you on the last day. God will be your judge. And he sees everything we do in secret. Doesn't really matter if people can fool me, or fool their friends, or the church, in the end they can't fool God.
So instead choose life. Sin is waiting at the door, and it desires to master you. To control you. But instead you must be master over sin. In Christ you can be master over sin. You can live in holiness. It's the battle we all face.
The people of Israel often chose sin, and evil, and it caused great destruction. We see the same thing happening in our country today, in the United States, many choose death and sin, and the result is chaos.
The choice stands before us. We are in the valley of decision. Will we choose life? Or will we choose sin? It's hard. I know it is. Sometimes in my battle, I make the wrong choice. But I always turn again to the Lord, and continue on the right path.
I believe in you. You can walk the right path in Christ. Despite all Israel did to dishonor God and sin against God, God continued to reach out to them, and many were saved, though most of them chose destruction. Be one of those who follow the narrow path my friends. Because the clock is ticking. The battle is real. But in Christ we can do all things. Resist sin, cling to Jesus.

The European University at St. Petersburg https://eu.spb.ru/en/ is an important institution for research and higher education, respected in Russia and around the world. Its scholars participate in major international conferences alongside members of SHERA and publish their work in prestigious journals and with major presses. We have all benefitted from the scholarship produced by its faculty, associates, and alumni; their work makes a significant and lasting contribution to our field.
For over 20 years, the EUSP has trained both Russian and non-Russian graduate students at the highest international level. Its educational ideal of promoting the best of Russian and Western scholarship promises to produce students who are fluent in the discourses that shape society and culture around the globe today. Foreign students who enroll in the EUSP's programs such as its International MA in Russian Studies (IMARES) https://eu.spb.ru/en/international/academics/imares benefit from study in Russia and access to St. Petersburg's immense cultural resources. More importantly, they gain a deep respect and appreciation for Russian history and culture in a way unparalleled by any other program.
The EUSP's proud history and record of success make it all the more concerning that on February 10th the Moscow Arbitration Court did not support the university's evidence of compliance with areas (registering degrees with the VAK, employing faculty practicing in their field, and maintaining a gym) that had been disputed by the Ministry of Education's inspectorate, Rosobrnadzor. The Society of Historians of East European, Eurasian, and Russian Art and Architecture (SHERA) supports the EUSP's decision to appeal the court's finding. We trust that further court hearings will remove the current obstacles and allow the university to continue its vital work of teaching and scholarly research.
The Society of Historians of East European, Eurasian, and Russian Art and Architecture (SHERA) is looking to sponsor a special session at the next College Art Association Conference that highlights the scholarship of advanced Ph.D. candidates and recent graduates working on art historical topics related to Eastern Europe, Eurasia, and Russia. Papers may discuss particular visual themes, sources, methodological perspectives, and/or historiographical issues related to the art and architecture of these regions from the Middle Ages to the present. Of particular interest are papers that also consider the state of the field and address ways in which recent scholarship on the artistic production of these regions may complement, and even provide a corrective to, current art historical narratives.
Note: An 'emerging scholar' is a SHERA-member either at the dissertation stage or someone who has received a Ph.D. or M.A. since 2012.

Hello! Welcome to the Academic Advising page!
Effective academic advising is a key component of a Westmont education. At its core, advising is a collaborative developmental relationship between our students and our faculty. The mission of the Academic Advising Department is to encourage and support students' personal and intellectual development as they embrace the educational opportunities available to them so they can complete their degree and find their calling and place of service in the kingdom of God.
Because academic advising is a key component of the academic life of the college, academic advisors are regularly evaluated during the promotion and tenure review process.
Please review the bullets below of everything under the scope of Westmont's Academic Advising.
Academic Advisors can be helpful to you in many ways. They can help you explore your options regarding a major and career choices as they listen and learn about you and your strengths and weaknesses.
Academic advising is the most underutilized resource on many college campuses. Many students don't truly realize what academic advising is, and what it can do to help them prepare for the world beyond college.
You must let us know when you change your mind and have found another advisor. This will help us keep track of your academic records and make sure we get the needed information into your hands. Once the Change of the Advisor form is completed, submit the form to the Student Records Office.
To remain in good standing, a student must maintain a cumulative grade point average (G.P.A.) of 2.0 in courses taken at Westmont and on Westmont off-campus programs.
Students can take many kinds of courses during the summer months. These can include courses to meet General Education requirements, courses toward a major or a minor, or elective courses. All students will need to meet 124 units to graduate with their degree, and some of these can be taken away from Westmont.
The Major Declaration Form should be filled out whenever you are ready to make your decision regarding a major official, but no later than the end of your sophomore year. You do not have an official major recorded until you complete the form.
The Successful Scholar Seminar is a program designed to help students manage the logistical side of academia. The college environment requires students to be responsible and prioritize their lives in a way they may not have previously experienced or not yet accustomed to while attending school.
Career Development and Calling to discuss networking, internships, and potential career/life interests.
Westmont College Library to describe how to navigate our large research database, introduce the Library Research staff and the benefits of utilizing this valuable resource.
Counseling Center to introduce students to their free and confidential services. The dedication of the Counseling Center is the development of the whole person, and the presentation will go over how to make an appointment to use this resource.
During the semester-long scheduled classes, the instructor will share confidential progress reports with each student. This valuable feedback will give students a better understanding of their instructors' expectations and student standing in their classes.
The Successful Scholar's Seminar is APP-002, and any student may register for the course. The class is a 1-unit graded course.

George Henry Stevens «Harry» Trott (5 de agosto de 1866-10 de noviembre de 1917) fue un jugador de críquet australiano que jugó veinticuatro partidos de prueba como all-rounder entre 1888 y 1898. Notable por ser un bateador versátil, jugador de bolos de giro y jardinero excepcional, «... se le recuerda mejor por ser un capitán y juez comprensivo de la naturaleza humana». Después de un periodo de crisis disciplinaria en el críquet australiano, Trott fue el primero de una sucesión de capitanes australianos asertivos que incluyó a Joe Darling, Monty Noble y Clem Hill, responsables de devolverle prestigio al equipo de pruebas. Trott era respetado por compañeros y adversarios por igual por su capacidad analítica en cada partido, ya que era capaz de detectar la debilidad del oponente con rapidez. Era un bateador diestro, conocido por su defensa sólida y su bateo vigoroso.

Trott comenzó su trayectoria en el críquet en 1888 en una gira por Inglaterra, país que habría de visitar en otras tres ocasiones (1890, 1893 y 1896), anotando más de 1000 carreras cada uno de esos años. En la gira de 1896, fue elegido como capitán por sus compañeros de equipo. Pese a que Inglaterra ganó la serie The Ashes y retuvo el título, la habilidad de Trott como capitán fue notable durante el transcurso de la serie. En la serie de vuelta efectuada en Australia durante la temporada 1897-98, el equipo de Trott tuvo más éxito y ganó la serie de cinco pruebas con un marcador de 4-1. En ese entonces la federación de las colonias australianas estaba en una cierta inestabilidad, por lo que la victoria del equipo de críquet hizo que Trott fuera catalogado como una «institución nacional» y su equipo distinguido por haber «hecho más por la federación de corazones australianos que todos los grandes delegados juntos».

Una enfermedad mental grave terminó abruptamente con su carrera en partidos de prueba cuando tenía 31 años de edad. Agobiado por una serie de ataques en 1898, sufrió de insomnio, apatía y pérdida de memoria. Incapaz de recuperar la lucidez, fue internado en un hospital psiquiátrico durante más de un año. Después de que fue dado de alta, no obstante, regresó al críquet y continuó jugando para el club South Melbourne, de su natal Victoria. Tras retirarse, Trott trabajó como seleccionador de Victoria por algunos años. Aparte del críquet, trabajó como cartero y correo clasificador. Murió de cáncer en 1917, a los 51 años de edad.

Fashion debate
Letter to the Editor in Kantipur, 20 August
KIRAN NEPAL
The debate on fashion is about how much to cover while wearing clothes. While the debate in itself is positive, dresses do reflect our thinking.
Dresses change with time, but how much to wear is an individual decision. Covering less doesn't necessarily mean that it is an imitation of the foreigners, nevertheless in Nepal that's the case. Talking about foreigners, years ago some women took to the streets in Britain demanding the right to walk around naked. Police arrested them.
If boys don't get romantic on seeing scantily clad girls how will the world work? Even the older folks entertain themselves watching fashion tv. Everyone has sexual urges and it has to be channeled in the right way. In a romantic situation if a girl sees a guy naked, surely see must imagine a lot of things. But same cannot be said about someone half-dressed due to poverty. Before blaming Nepalis for imitating the foreigners we should see what is culturally acceptable.
Amrit Bhandari,
Bidhata Singh's, in her response, has rightly criticised Sushma Manadhar's provocative dress. One would do well to pick up trash lying around and throw them in containers rather than ogling at panties. Is it right to undress oneself in the name of fashion and development? Do they know the problems of the countryside where women can't even afford clothes to cover themselves? Young people have tremendous sexual desire.
He says provocative dresses will add fuel to the burning fire among the youngsters. It may even lead to rape cases. To walk around semi-naked in public in the name of fashion is to be insecure.

2Ki 8:1 - Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go you and your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn: for the LORD has called for a famine; and it shall also come on the land seven years.
2Ki 8:2 - The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God; and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Pelishtim seven years.

2Ki 8:13 - Haza'el said, But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing? Elisha answered, the LORD has shown me that you shall be king over Aram.

Pages, Pages, and Only Pages
Posted on June 19, 2008 by Ben Stevens	Posted in Software	16 Comments
Since switching to Macs over three years ago, my firm has continued to use Microsoft Word. Why? Well, for no reason other than it is what we were used to, since we had used it back in our PC days. Honestly, doing something a certain way because "it's always been done that way" is not a good enough reason.
I have wanted to switch our firm over to Apple's Pages for quite some time. In fact, I had intended to do so before the end of 2007, but I simply didn't have time to do so between working on my clients' cases and my speaking engagements. Not that I'm complaining, as being too busy is a wonderful "problem" to have.
Yesterday, I was completing a long document to fax to another attorney on a pressing matter. Just as I finished it, #%&@ Word locked up on me and caused me to lose the whole document. As a result, I had to redo it at double-speed to meet the deadline, which is less than ideal. I decided that was the straw that broke the camel's back, and I made the decision that we were making the move to Pages right now!
For quite some time, I have used Pages for my non-work writing, including both my personal correspondence and seminar presentation materials. Simply put, it is an outstanding program. It is very intuitive and easy to use, yet is has very powerful features. Best of all, it is stable and has never locked up or frozen on me. After all, if the best software program in the world isn't dependable, how useful is it?
I will keep you posted over the coming weeks as to how our transition goes, but I fully anticipate that it will be very smooth. My assistant has never used Pages before, but I am confident that she will pick it up and master it in no time. After all, she had never used a Mac until I replaced her PC with one, and within a day she was extremely comfortable with it. Stay tuned …

I read that a problem with Pages is that, when it opens a MSWord .doc, it does not just read that file. Rather, it converts it to Pages, and the resulting document has to be saved in Pages-format. i.e. it is not possible to seamlessly read and write to .doc format. That would play havoc with existing file archives. Perhaps an alternative to consider is the OpenOffice word processor. (I don't have Pages, so I cannot verify this).
Eric Shapiro says:
I considered switching to Pages several months ago (along with numbers). Unfortunately, in a vacuum the programs were wonderful, but when I had to share completed documents with clients, courts and other attorneys I ran into compatibility issues. If you could seamlessly import and export into the "Word World" it would be a viable option.
As an aside, I also updated to Office 2008 to see if this would alleviate some of the earlier iterations problems. Primarily due to Excel 2008's lack of Visual Basic support I am now back using Office 2004.
Thomas Brown says:
One day I thought it would be fun to see how long it would take me to come up with a pleading template — a caption all nicely done, margins to meet the local rules, and styles for headings, citations, etc. As a newbie to Pages I thought it would be quit a project. Wrong. I was done in less than an hour. It's a great program — very intuitive. I hope more in the mac community give it a try. It's $79 per seat, so it's not like you're risking a lot trying it out.
Ware says:
Pages exports readily to Word. Simply pull down the file and click on export. There you are offered Word, PDF, RTF, and Plain Text.
As to its cost, unlike Office programs it has a full version free trial.
Its templating capabilities are much more powerful and user-friendly than in Word.
dstrauss says:
Sorry for my skepticism, but I don't want to go through the "Wordperfect round-trip" ordeal again. For a long time, we fought the good fight to keep using Wordperfect (an admittedly superior word processor) by opening Word docs in Wordperfect and then "exporting" out to Word to share with clients and other lawyers using Word…wrong!
It is just too much of a pain with all the formatting headaches that develop. I've never been a Word fan, but it's what my clients, fellow lawyers, and courts use, so I've had to stick with Word on the Mac as well. If Pages opened and saved in native format, okay, but as long as you're doing the import-edit-export round trip, you are fraught with disappointment.
Kevin Morton says:
I'm about to replace my Windows machines at work with Macs and have been thinking a lot about what could possibly replace WordPerfect, the workhorse in my office for nearly 20 years. The obvious anwer is Nothing, but I've been fiddling with OpenOffice 3.0 beta, which opens WordPerfect files quite nicely and also with Pages. Since I'll be using Daylite as a replacement for Timematters, I wanted to be able to merge data in Daylite with Pages or OpenOffice but neither supported merges.
Well, a couple of days ago, the Daylite folks released a new beta version of DL which provides merge capability. It works. There's even a way to get custom form data out of Daylite into Pages. If you're a Daylite user this makes Pages very attractive. Like Ben, I've been using Pages for non-business stuff and it really is a beautiful little program. We'll be using it when we make the switch later this summer.
Dstrauss, if we were talking about something like string theory or deism I could understand your skepticism.
However we are talking about a computer program which you can test for yourself. Download iWork'08 for free and try exporting. If you find it is too complex or does not work then that is fine.
The fact that others (all with advanced degrees like yourself) find it works reliably without a great deal of effort may well mean that what you are resisting is not Pages but change itself.
Jeffrey Kabbe says:
I like Pages and try to use it whenever possible. I haven't tried its import/export support for Word, but I have done that quite a bit with OpenOffice (which another commenter suggested). I was underwhelmed. Even simple documents contained significant layout differences and there were frequently problems.
Relying on compatibility is tough because, no matter how much testing you do, you can't possibly test every single combination. There's always that chance that the document you get tomorrow will be totally screwed up.
Of course, using Word doesn't solve this problem. We recently received (at home) a Word (for Windows) document in which someone had put text boxes (the drawing element) in table cells. It probably looked fine on their computer or they wouldn't have sent it. But on our computer with Word (2004 for Mac), most of the text was off the bottom of the page. It was dreadful.
Basically I try to avoid situations where I am sharing a document with someone and expecting that person to edit the document. For every other type of situation PDF works just fine.
I think you'll be glad you made the switch. I use only Pages and require staff to do the same when working on any documents I will use. My newest secretary had many years of Word experience, but was comfortable in Pages within days. I gave her the Apple training series book and the small booklet that came in the box with the very first version of iWork. Good luck.
rhill says:
Still need Word or WP for TOA generation. I draft on Pages, then export to Word format, which my secretaries, believe it or not, then convert to WP for TOA generation. Along the way, formatting is lost and has to be reapplied. I believe its the Word to WP step that does the damage. In any case, I am sufficiently frustrated with restoring formatting, that I may revert to writing in WP, via VMWare.
The TOA issue is a really good point. We are not an appellate firm, but we do our own appeals, and when I say we I mean my associate and my assistant.
I would think that someone could do a script for a TOA, apparently not yet. The deficiency does not change my usage, but obviously someone in the office must be able to do it automatically.
A Kim says:
Despite all of the positive reasons for moving from Word to Pages, I find no equivalent in Pages for a text expander such as AutoText which inputs formatted and styled text into a Pages document. I also know of no third party solution to that. How have you managed to input paragraphs, tables or even sections of such text?
J. Benjamin Stevens says:
The program TextExpander by Smile on My Mac (smileonmymac.com/TextExpander/) does allow pasting of text, formatted text, etc. into any program, including Pages. It does a great job and is a bargain at $29.95.
Thanks for your response to my question on TextExpander. I enjoyed it but I found that transferring Word formatted documents to Pages, especially with tables, does not go so smooth. Anyway, another topic in which I find no comparison between Word and Pages is the availability of custom fields. Word allows multiple custom document fields whereas Pages allows none. What have you found as a work-around for this ?
Ware:
I did use the demo version for the full 30 days. In almost every instance (and we do not use heavily formatted documents) every Word document I imported generated a table of errors in formatting that Pages could not resolve. Then on the export side, the documents, when opened in Word on both my Mac and my secretary's Windoze machine, would have visual formatting errors (margins, lists, etc.) that had to be corrected. Again, I am no fan of Word on teh Mac (anymore so than on Windoze) but the round trip needs to be seamless without corrections. It just is not between Pages and Word.
Rob Buckley says:
I would also like to use Pages exclusively, but have not been able to find any method to do document comparisons. Does anyone have a solution. I know that you can track changes but this does not help when I receive documents edited by some else – or does it? Thands

Doris B. Porpiglia
Although Doris Porpiglia was shy while in high school in Amsterdam, NY , she would take up the assignment she was given in the military with dignity and honor. She enlisted in the Army earning the rank as a Private First Class, and she would attend training for the Post Office in Indianapolis. Doris Porpiglia describes the role of women during the war and the importance of obtaining the skills they would later use in other jobs after the war. She was in charge of communicating with the Commanding Officers to determine the assignment location of soldiers both incoming and those who were discharged. Wherever they were going, she made sure that they would receive their mail. After serving in the Army from 1951-1953, she returned to Amsterdam, but she decided to seek work in Syracuse where she lives today. Doris Porpiglia feels the role that women played during the Korean War paved the way for future women and their involvement in the military.
Letters to Where?
No soldier could have imagined that their letters would be analyzed to determine their IQ. Doris Porpiglia was called aside while at Camp Cook and she was told to go through stacks of mail to determine which G.I.s had high IQs. If they had high IQs, they would be assigned certain jobs, but she didn't know what they were being assigned to.

Ladies Don't Do Such A Thing
Doris Porpiglia was asked how her family felt about her being in the military. Although her parents and immediate family were proud of her, her rich aunt told her that "Ladies don't do such a thing." Doris Porpiglia replied, "I am more of a lady than you'll ever be, and what I wear isn't going to determine the person I am going to be."

Women's Wartime Jobs
During the Korean War, women worked as switchboard operators and they drove jeeps for officers. Doris Porgiglia was given an aptitude test and she was qualified for over 150 types of jobs. She decided to go to Indianapolis to obtain the training for the Post Office.

Training For The Future
Doris Porpiglia explained that many women had standard jobs that most women had during that time period. This included telephone operator and secretary. She said the main thing women wanted from their experiences during the war, was skills they needed that they could use when the war ended.

The Women Just Sat There and Wouldn't Shoot
During her time in basic training, the women GIs were given the opportunity to practice shooting weapons. They were actually given a choice in the event that at any given time they were told they had to shoot their weapon, they should be ready. Doris Porpiglia said she wanted to be prepared, but most women just sat there and didn't attempt to try shooting at all, but Doris Porpiglia didn't understand their reasoning.

Doris Porpiglia tells a story that the most surprising thing about her job was some of the men that didn't know how to read or write, so they would quietly ask her to read the letters they received. The male GIs since didn't want others to know that they were uneducated. Doris Porpiglia felt sorry for them and she said that most of the men who had difficulty reading were from the south, but race didn't matter. She believes that it inspired her to become a teaching assistant when the war was over.

[Beginning of Recorded Material]
D: Doris Porpiglia.
I: Porpiglia.
D: Yes.
I: Okay. And what was your role during the war? What was your responsibility?
D: Okay. I worked at the Post Office and, uh, mainly helping to find people who maybe they were assigned a job and then before they got there, they got new orders that changed it,
and lots of times their mail couldn't keep up with them. So it was my job to write to their COs and find out what their new job was and everything and, uh. So
I: So this is upon veterans coming home or the soldiers coming home from the war?
D: And some, too, that were just leaving, uh, say like a camp in Georgia
I: Um hm.
D: and, uh, then having to change to go to California to be shipped out. Well maybe somewhere in between there was another city or town or camp that, uh, we had to try to keep their mail going in the same way they were.
I: So you were kind of responsible for everything operating smoothly and the soldiers transition with the mail getting to them?
D: I hope so. [LAUGHS]
I: I'm sure you did great. Okay, so that's, that's great. That's completely different than anything I've talked to anyone about so far.
D: I also one time when I was at Camp Cook, um, they called me to one side that I had to help them out. They had stacks of papers like, of this, of GIs that were going overseas, and I had to pick out all of the men who I
thought had high enough IQ for a certain job. That's all I was ever told about. I never knew what I sent these men to. But I did. I went through all their stuff, and they went, but they wouldn't take me.
I: Did you want to go over there?
D: Oh, I wanted to, you know. I was 18 years old fresh out of high school.
D: You know. At that age, you could do anything.
I: Yeah. So did you want to fight, or did you just want to kind of be closer
to the action and, and be able to help the soldiers out or
D: Probably be over there, help the GIs out, you know. It, uh, it was something that was new to me. When I grew up, uh, when I was 12 years old, the Second World War started, and so on and so forth, and it seemed like it was always one war or another,
I: Uh huh.
D: you know. And so my great idea was to be in the military. That was my dream. And, uh, never dawned on me I should have gotten an education first. But, uh, they did teach me in postal
I: Yeah.
D: work.
I: So you did your part, what you could do.
D: I did what I could, right. That's about it.
D: Uh huh.
I: So how do you feel about
the role that women play in the military today? You know, clearly times have changed a lot.
D: I think it's great. If a woman wants to go, they should be allowed to go.
D: But sometimes I sort of hold my breath when I see like a mother leaving her kids. That, I'm not sure I could have ever done that. But it's, if that's what they want to do,
hey, it's their country. Why not?
I: Um hm. So let people serve in any way that they can.
D: Yes, yes.
I: Okay. So then, you know, just for me getting to know a little bit about, about your role and everything, how do you feel about participating in this project? I mean clearly you were directly involved in everything and
D: I am very much in awe of the Korean people. Being a Korean War veteran, I have met many people. They're very giving people. The, the most giving people I think I've ever seen because they're thankful, even though we think, we feel we didn't do much of anything other than stop the war, but
we want, we're glad they're here. What else can I say?
D: They're nice.
I: So are you, are you glad that, you know, the memories of the veterans and everyone's role will, will be able to live on, and future generations will be able to learn more
I: about it?
D: Yes. I think that's excellent, and it's something that the younger people who haven't been through
all of this need to know happened, you know. It didn't just go boom, boom, boom.
D: It was, uh, very important to all of the Korean and American people.
D: I think it should have been.
I: Um hm. So, you know, you, you mentioned some of the veterans that were Korean War veterans
but didn't necessarily go over to Korea or veterans that did go over and didn't necessarily fight. I have an [INAUDIBLE]here that says that a U.S. government designated that there are about seven million Korean War veterans, and clearly all of those were not soldiers that were
D: Right.
I: fighting in the war.
D: Right, right.
I: What, what is the other roles? You know, how, how do you think these other people played a role in, in our success or failure or whatever it might have been?
D: Well I have to go by my
husband who never felt he was a Korean War veteran. During the Korean War, he was in, um, over in, uh, I can't think of the name of the place right now. The northern part of, of Africa back when it was owned by other countries. And, uh, he just
knew what was going on there. He knew nothing about the Korean War. But, uh, then there are other people who took it very seriously, very seriously. And it's good they did.
I: Um hm. So there are a lot of people participating in indirect ways.
D: Yes. Um hm.
I: When you said people were taking it seriously or not seriously, how about the Americans
at home that were not part of the war. Did they, what did, what was your impression since you, you know it's kind of a gap with the soldiers. They didn't necessarily know what was going on back home while they were over in Korea fighting. But you had that, maybe, that you had that perspective of how people's sentiment was towards the war or lack of sentiment.
D: Well, I remember one Korean War veteran, the first one ever to come back to my hometown. He, or course, wanted to be
left alone.
D: But they had these big parades and everything for him and, uh, he was from a small town, uh, just in between, uh, Syracuse and Amsterdam, and it was a very small town, and he just wanted to forget the whole thing at that point. He, he had been injured badly, and
it would take him a long time to get, get back into it. So, but, uh, it's funny, too, being such a small town, it was like he was the only veteran,
D: you know? But I, I was always interested in the military.
I: Yeah. So do you think people in general just didn't care about what was going on or
D: Oh, I think they cared. I think they cared. Some people cared a lot, an awful lot.
D: They gave their lives, and other people sort of half and half, you know. Sometimes they, well, it's okay. Other times well, my son's over there so of course I'm interested, you know, things like that.
I: So it's almost like unless you had
some attachment, like you had a child that was, a son or a daughter, that was involved in the war, you didn't necessarily feel that attached. You didn't really know what was going on.
D: Right. Right.
D: Um hm.
I: So, what about your family? How did your family feel about your participation?
D: I was afraid to ask that question. My mother and father and sister were all for it, if
that's what I wanted to do, and I wrote a letter to my, uh, rich aunt, and she told me that ladies did not do such things, and I wrote her a snotty, little letter and said I'm more of a lady than you'll ever be. [LAUGHS] I said what I wear does not say
D: what kind of person I'm going to be, you know. Well it, uh, it turned out okay. I heard years later my aunt who lived in Amsterdam where I lived said by the way, I hear you wrote our favorite aunt a letter, one we all wanted to write
I: Oh, really?
D: but didn't have the guts to do.
I: That's great.
I: So people, your whole family was [INAUDIBLE]
D: And she was a teacher.
D: And she was a teacher, you know, and she said that's what we all wanted.
D: She always told us what was right and what was wrong, what we should do and what we shouldn't do. But, uh, she was my father's sister. She didn't bother with me after that.
I: She was probably afraid to.
D: [LAUGHS] I doubt that.
I: Well, you, so
you're kind of starting the feminist movement right there, right?
D: Possibly I guess, yes.
I: That's unfortunate. So I'd like to talk more about the, the role of women in the war and helping the cause. So you were working in the Post Office and helping with logistics,
I: And things like that. What are some other positions that women held?
D: Um, that I did?
I: Not necessarily that you did, but women in general.
D: Oh, women. Well, the first thing I noticed in large numbers was women being, uh, backs, and you had to have a person dial the number for every, and the women were in charge of that, and it took a lot of people. I, I, I was shocked at that, uh. It's one of the jobs that a lot of women
tried for to be in, uh, uh, that didn't interest me.
I: Um hm. So
D: We all had our own jobs that we wanted to do.
I: Yeah, and, and did you, for the most part, get to choose what you wanted to do or, or was it kind of like you volunteer and they assign you.
D: Well, when I was at, uh, in Cape, the Cape where I was studying, they gave us a
test, okay? And they came out and said now you passed 150 jobs. Which one would you like? Duh. No explanations, no nothing. So I said first of all, I wanted to go to the, where they check, the finance place
they had. No, it was closed. Okay. So they mentioned a couple other things like driving cabs or driving jeeps for officers. That didn't interest me. Few other things. Back then, I was a very shy person.
D: Always afraid to ask questions, and, uh, so eventually I decided well, I would
go to Indianapolis to school and learn that job, you know.
I: The Post Office?
D: Post Office. They asked me if I wanted to go to, uh, school to be an officer, and I said sure. So then they came back, you're too young. [LAUGHS] Anything I wanted, you're too young. But I was. I had to wait a couple weeks after getting out of high school
because I wasn't 18 yet.
I: Oh.
D: So once I had my birthday, I was okay.
I: So then you get officer school?
D: Then I could be in, in the service.
I: Oh, I see.
D: See. But I think my main problem was that I didn't realize I should have got a little education to help me out. But
at the time I went, I felt I have to go now. I can't wait. Besides that, I didn't have any money to go to school.
I: I guess that helped your decision a little?
D: Yes, it, yes. But I like what I did, and I'm glad I did it. And if I had to live it over again, I would do it again.
D: Really.
I: That's great. So I'm wondering, you said there is a lot of women signing up for these jobs.
When the more of kind of that they wanted a job, just a job in life or that they wanted to, a job that actually had to do with being in the military or helping the war in some way?
D: Well, I think it was partially helping the war in some way. But they also were looking to when they got out of service.
D: Is this going to teach me something I can do afterwards?
it's training for the future.
I: Also.
D: Cause being a telephone operator back in 1951 was a big thing for women. I mean, they had thousands of thousands.
I: Yeah. And
D: And of course secretaries and things like that.
I: Um. So you said if you were younger, you'd do it again.
I: You'd go over there?
Would you sign up to fight?
D: Probably.
I: That's very
I: That's something I wouldn't do.
D: Well, let's put it this way. If my five kids were little, and they asked me if I would fight, I would probably say no. But if I didn't have my kids leaning on me, I would give my life.
I, I'm not as, I'm not as, I don't know. I just think when things need to be done, somebody has to do it.
I: Um hm. Um hm. And you would volunteer to do it?
D: I would. If, if I could, if it was something I could do, like when we went through the, uh, during basic training,
we went through this thing, and they told us, now women, we've got to go to learn to shoot guns. We cannot force you to take the guns. But if you ever get anywhere and somebody hands you a gun and says you're going to use it, you are going to use it.
D: So I went through the whole shebang because I couldn't see
trying to defend myself or anybody else if I didn't know how to shoot a gun.
D: Most of the women just sat there and watched.
I: Um.
D: And I didn't understand that.
I: Um hm. So do you have kind of a, more respect for these women then that are volunteering their lives to go to Afghanistan and wars that are going on today?
D: Do I have more respect? Probably, probably not.
D: Only because back in my day, they weren't given the opportunity. I, I don't really know. I have respect for the women that gives their, their selves in, like that. I, I think nothing greatness
for them. It takes a lot of guts to do it.
D: And some people will go for it, some wouldn't. Some would be much happier at a sit down job, you know.
I: Um hm. Like anyone else.
D: Um hm. Right, even here. That's true.
I: Did you ever come in contact with nurses and, cause we're kind of interested in, in their interactions with
soldiers coming home.
D: Yes. Now, the nurses I met were mainly people that went overseas. I didn't know until after the war was over, they'd been over quite a while. The most, most Army nurses weren't even in Korea
D: which shocked me. Some were. But, uh, some Marines took most of the jobs there.
D: And I was just, I couldn't believe that we didn't have nurses over there, you know. I know we had a few, but very few.
D: And the only Army women that were in, uh, Korea in any kind of job, was very, very low. That's something I felt, found out later, too.
That's, I mean I thought the Army did everything.
D: You know?
I: [INAUDIBLE]
D: There were the others, too, you know.
I: So is that kind of frustrating, that women weren't necessarily able to hold higher positions?
D: I think whether or not you could have a higher position
depends more on you and how hard you're gonna work for it. I think anyone can go up and, uh, they just do well if they want to. If they don't want to, they don't.
D: A lot of girls I met just went in and couldn't wait to get out, you know. For some reason, they had no idea what being in the Army was like.
D: I, I, that, that made no sense to me.
I: So what was, what was your impression of when a lot of the people that were serving in Korea came back over? I mean you said that, you know, the nurses dealt with people [INAUDIBLE] Did you kind of interact with any of the veterans that came back, whether personally or professionally?
D: Well, the veterans that came back and had trouble with their mail. They, they would come to me or their COs would come anyway, and we would try to find out where that person was last, and did they send them to another place? Cause quite, quite often they changed. They sent to,
to Pakistan or something and then they changed their mind and were sent to, to Korea, something like that. Your mail might really get mixed up,
D: and then I had to write to the COs to try and find out, uh, where their mail might be and, sometimes I had to call back and forth all call, like on a piece of paper, uh, to find out just where they were, you know.
I: Sounds like a complicated process.
D: It was. It was, but when you found somebody, it was good.
D: You felt sorry for the guys that couldn't find their mail.
I: Yeah. Well, that's, you know, their connection to home and, and to their family.
I: So it's really important for their morale and just kind of to get them through the war.
D: The thing that surprised me most about my job was
when, uh, people would come, I used to have a window, but it was just a small part of my job, but these men would bring their mail and ask me if I'd read it to them. American soldiers who didn't even know how to read and write.
I: Hm.
D: That broke my heart.
I: Yeah. So did that
D: And it happened all the time.
I: Yeah. Oh really?
D: Yeah.
Mostly from the south I should say.
D: Almost always from the south. It just surprised me more than anything else I think.
I: How did that make you feel then? I mean it's, it's, I can see maybe one thought saying how are these people becoming soldiers if they don't know how to read and write? But then again you're saying, you might be thinking well these people will serve
no matter what.
D: Right. And too, you don't have to be able to read and write to
D: uh, get a gun.
I: Right.
I: Um hm. Um hm. So, so then what was it like reading these letters to them?
D: Heartbreaking. It really was. It, they were so important to these men, but yet they had to, they would sneak around trying to find somebody that would read to them. And then a lot of them came
to my window so that I would help them out.
I: So it's something that they didn't want to get out.
D: Right. They, they, they didn't want other people to know that they were uneducated, and they weren't more black than white, nothing like that. It was just young Americans who hadn't had a chance to read.
D: It's hard.
I: What did it mean to you to be able to read that to the letter
D: Oh, that made me feel good.
D: Also made me feel sad because I could read it to them but what if they want us to know later what it said, you know?
I: Yeah. But it must have meant a lot to them
D: Uh hm.
I: that you were available to them.
D: I sometimes wonder if that's why I went into becoming a teaching assistant
when after I got out of the service. It was many years later. But just teaching little kids who didn't know how to read and write meant a lot to me.
I: I'm sure that had to, a lot to do with it.
I; Yeah.
I: So do you think that's one of the, the major impacts that your experience had on your life?
D: I think it probably is, probably is.
I: That's really interesting. So now, because
of what you saw, you realized the importance
D: I worked with handicapped kids
D: and, uh, that really made me feel good.
D: Helping them figure out how to do things. Was worth it.
I: Um hm. How do you think your perspective on life have changed thinking back on your experience working in the Post Office and doing your, your job?
D: I think it was good for me, very good for me. Got to see people other than my home town people and, uh, I know one other woman who went into the Army shortly after. She went in because I had gone in. And I met her one time when she was on leave, and she thanked me so
much for leading her, and I said I had nothing to do with it. Yes, you did, Doris. I always liked to do the things you did, and it made me feel like a million dollars at that point. So, I guess we all affect other people, even though we don't know it.
I: Um hm. It's clear that you have a powerful presence and you give off good vibes to people,
and they like to follow in your footsteps because you seem to make the right decisions for the right reasons.
D: I, I hope so. I would like to do that.
I: Um hm. So do you think back on your experience often?
D: Oh, yes. Yes. That's a part of my life.
I: Were you able to share your experiences with your family?
D: Yes. My, my husband was never one to
join things, okay. I tried to get him to join a Korean War veterans, nah. Don't want to do that. So the month he died, I'm a, a little bit ashamed to say, I joined the Korean War Veterans, and it has been so good for me.
D: I've made good friends. I've been able to pick positives and negatives in my life, you know, a lot of different things. It's been good for me, and my, my oldest son who lives with me says to me Mom, why didn't you tell me all this when I was younger?
D: He said I probably would have gone in the service.
You said maybe that's why I didn't tell you.
D: No. I said well, your father never talks about these things, so
D: You know.
I: I think that's really important because a lot of veterans that I've talked to say that they never shared their experiences until they became a member of the Korean War Veterans Association,
I: they were able to see how good they felt when they, you know, could talk, about it.
D: Right. That's true. We are allowed
to write to the, um, Washington, the National, uh, I can't think the name of the thing, but it can be a letter written today
D: and put into this, in Washington.
D: It's in the, uh,
main office there, and they can leave them there, and years later your grandkids can go see what Grandpa did. It's important. It is to me.
I: So you mentioned that you were a shy girl growing up.
D: Yes, I was.
I: You're talking a lot, though.
I: You don't seem so shy today.
D: I've, I've learned how to talk. [LAUGHS]
I: Is that something that being in the Army helped you with or just
D: I think possibly, um hm. Yeah.
I: That's, just
D: I learned how to fight for what I want.
I: That's good that you realize that [INAUDIBLE]
I: So, have you had a chance to go to Korea at all?
D: They have given me the chance, but
I would feel like I was cheating someone who had been over there and aside from that, I also don't have the money. But
D: Uh
I: But doesn't the Association help out Korean War veterans to
D: They pay something like 50% or something. We were talking about it on the way over here. It would be very nice to go. I would love it. But, uh,
I think the people who were there deserve it more than I.
I: I think it would be a nice opportunity to, to see what
D: Oh, definitely.
I: because you helped out, and you did your, you did your part. You're a veteran.
I: How do you feel about Korea's development?
D: I think South Korea is magnificent. I mean, they have
rebuilt the country. They have made so many important opportunities to people of all ages in this country as well as their own.
D: And, uh, from what I have seen of Korean people, I am in awe of them. They are so thoughtful. They
are so kind, and I don't say things like this because I'm here. If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't say it.
D: I don't give compliments when they're not in order.
D: I'm, a, I'm an old woman that likes to say her say,[LAUGHS] even if it's old, uh, aunt's.
I: So what's their reaction when you say that you're a Korean War veteran?
D: Well, they've taken it well, everybody, yeah.
I: Because I'm sure a lot of people don't realize [INAUDIBLE]
D: A lot of people, like at my church, for a long time, people'd say why'd she wear that jacket on Sunday, you know?
I: [INAUDIBLE] your husband's or not yours.
D: Yeah. It's funny.
D: In fact, they even have asked my son, my son gave me a jacket that says U.S. Army, and people ask me why they're, his mother's wearing my, his jacket.
D: He said no, that's for her. She earned this.
I: Well, you did earn it. You definitely earned it. What do you think the
legacy of the Korean War veterans will be?
D: I hope it will go on and on. It is a great organization. I, uh, have found a lot of friends, uh, and intelligent people, you know.
D: It's good.
I: Do you think your role and the role of women in general during
the Korean War helped kind of pave the way for women in the Army and the branches in general?
D: Oh, I'm sure it must have, you know. Very few, when I went into the Army, the only service that would let you go anywhere out of the country was the Army. I didn't know that, and, uh, if you wanted to go other places like even when I
was up for leaving, they said to me well, do you want to go someplace else? I said I want to go outside the country.
D: And I can't remember. There's a little island near Japan. It has a big name with service people. Starts with an E. We could send you there. Of course, I was just a dumb Private First Class,
and, with no money, and, uh, I thought but why would I want to go to a 3 and, 3 ½ hour movie you know?
D: place and be stuck there. I didn't under, know until I talked to GIs later that that was a step off place for lots of places. So
D: it worked. It worked.
I: So, I'm wondering this can kind of conclude our interview if you could maybe provide a message or two about children or adults or future generations of family will be looking at this memorial data base that we're going to be creating and checking out your interviews and the interviews of other veterans.
D: Well, I think we need to do everything we can to make people see that being in the service is
something you're lucky to get the chance for, and you should try to enlarge upon it as much as possible, and let the people think it through. Don't let them just say Saturday morning oh, I've got nothing to do. I think I'll go in the Army. No, that's not the way. You have to think it through. What would you do
in the Army?
D: Where would you want to go, you know, things like this. And that goes back to me, too. I didn't think it through. I could have done better, but I was waiting to be 18.
I: There wasn't a ton of information back then, either. It's easier to get information now, so.
D: So, I hope so.
I: Yeah. Well, Ms. Porpiglila, I really appreciate your
service and you coming down and talking
D: Thank you.
I: to us. It's been a pleasure listening to you. Before you leave, um, I'd like to present you with this medal. It's the Ambassador of Peace medal given by the government of Korea.
D: It's beautiful.
I: It is in the name of Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs.
D: It's under the chair.
I: Let's start that over again. Okay. So, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs as well as the Korean Veterans Association through the government of the Republic of Korea presents you with this medal which is the Ambassador of Peace medal for Korean War veterans in recognition of, of your service to help their country. If you wouldn't mind, I'm going to put it around your neck.
D: I would be honored.
I: Okay, there you go. Thank you very much.
D: Thank you, thank you very much.

Q: removeObject removes random object instead of the specific one I'm making this 2D shooter game in Java as a Learning project.
I currently have one enemy Class in the game as a start. If I have multiple of those enemies on the screen and one of them dies by my bullets, a random enemy will die out of those on the screen. I know that having the same enemy in several classes with a seperate Health is a solution, but a very bad one. There must be Another way of doing this?

A: I think you use static field in Enemy class instead of normal one, for example:
Enemy {
    static Health health;
    ...
}

instead of
Enemy {
    Health health;
    ...
}

Use non-static fields and in this case you can just have List < Enemy > enemies and get only one enemy object from it's, for example:
  enemies.get(3).setHealth(Health.Died) // died enemy with number 3

My goal with this blog is to go beyond password management and cover other security and productivity topics of interest, especially topics of interest to small and medium sized businesses.
Along these lines, I've been doing some research on ransomware, especially Crowti (also known as Cryptowall).
Obviously the best scenario is never to be affected by ransomware at all.
– Make sure you have updated antivirus software on your computer.
– Enable automated patches for your operating system and web browser.
– Have strong passwords, and don't use the same passwords for everything.
– Use a pop-up blocker.
– Only download software—especially free software—from sites you know and trust (malware can also come in downloadable games, file-sharing programs, and customized toolbars).
– Don't open attachments in unsolicited e-mails, even if they come from people in your contact list, and never click on a URL contained in an unsolicited e-mail, even if you think it looks safe. Instead, close out the e-mail and go to the organization's website directly.
– Use the same precautions on your mobile phone as you would on your computer when using the Internet.
– To prevent the loss of essential files due to a ransomware infection, it's recommended that individuals and businesses always conduct regular system back-ups and store the backed-up data offline.
But what if you've already been victimized by ransomware?
You should contact your local FBI field office.
If you have a good recent backup of your computer, you can wipe the infected machine and then load the backup.
You can contact a reputable security professional to assist you.
In some cases, according to the FBI, the simplest path can be to pay the request, although other resources like Microsoft suggest not paying the demand.
Would be great to hear from you in comments if you've ever been a victim of ransomware and how you recovered.

A common complaint among children's pastors and leaders these days is that they are losing families to sports that, unlike in the past, are now played on Sunday. The soccer fields and baseball diamonds are full of kids playing sports during times that they might formerly have spent in Sunday school or worship services.
Worse, it's not just the kids who are playing that are missing church, it's the parents, plus siblings, and even grandparents, as well. If you have a number of kids in your church playing in Sunday leagues, it can have a significant impact on attendance.
• Making parents feel guilty is probably not a good idea, and it may even drive them farther away from church.
• Don't make the kids feel bad for wanting to play sports. They're kids! They just want to play—and they don't create the schedules.
• Don't bemoan the loss of your sports kids in front of the other kids. They are just as important, and may wonder what they're missing!
• Whether it's Sunday school, children's church or other activities, make it memorable and fun. Let the buzz from other kids make the sports kids wonder what they are missing.
• Let the kids know you miss them, and continue to invite them to other ministry events.
• Praise parents for their faithfulness who continue to bring their children to church.
• Start a non-Sunday sports league in your area, if there is not one. Upward Sports, among others, has leagues that have devotions at half-time, no games or practice on Sunday, and an emphasis on good sportsmanship.
• Be there for the parents and kids when they need you, whether they are in church or not. If you hear of a need in one of your families, respond to it. They'll know you care and support them.
• Pray for them, above all. Whether present or absent, pray for your kids and their families.
I would love to know your ideas or strategies that have worked for your ministry. Please comment below and let's all learn from each other!
