Q: How to create a Map in java with two keys and a list of values Wants to create a map with two keys and values as a list.
Could you please help me with a sample code for the same

A: I think you need something like this:

*

*Firstly you need a POJO which contains your composite key, and to avoid messing up the KeySet inside the map, that pojo must implements equals and hashcode
import java.util.Objects;

public class MyKey {
    private final String firstKeyAttr;
    private final Integer secondKeyAttr;

    public MyKey(String firstKeyAttr, Integer secondKeyAttr) {
        this.firstKeyAttr = firstKeyAttr;
        this.secondKeyAttr = secondKeyAttr;
    }

    public String getFirstKeyAttr() {
        return firstKeyAttr;
    }

    public Integer getSecondKeyAttr() {
        return secondKeyAttr;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
        MyKey myKey = (MyKey) o;
        return Objects.equals(firstKeyAttr, myKey.firstKeyAttr) &&
                Objects.equals(secondKeyAttr, myKey.secondKeyAttr);
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return Objects.hash(firstKeyAttr, secondKeyAttr);
    }
}

*

*And then, you can create a map in this way:

public static void main(String[] args) {
   Map<MyKey, List<Object>> myMap = new HashMap<>();
   myMap.put(new MyKey("key1", 1), Collections.singletonList(1));
   ...
}

Quiet Quitters Make Up Half the U.S. Workforce, Gallup Says
Young professionals surveyed said they were the most disengaged. A big source of tension: Returning to offices.
Aaron DuRall for The Wall Street Journal
By Ray A. Smith
A word of warning to bosses: American workers are returning to offices after the summer break less happy than they've been in a long time.
U.S. employee engagement, a measure of involvement in the workplace and enthusiasm about work, has dropped since 2021, coinciding with the rise in job resignations. The number of workers who say they are actively disengaged from their jobs—defined as workers who are unhappy about their work and resentful their needs aren't being met—is rising, according to new research by Gallup, which has tracked workers' investment in their jobs since 2000.

I have a horrible, $4.50 habit and it's not Starbucks. It's something SO much better - Aroma. This Israeli coffee house, located on Houston and Greene (with two more locations to open up in Midtown and UWS - yeaaah!), is one of the best "fast food" meals you will have anywhere. The food is fresh and fast, with their soft bread outshining every other carb I've ever had (and we know I have discriminating tastes when it comes to carbs). Salads, pastries, and sandwiches are offered for breakfast and lunch. But what I walk blocks out of my way for is the iced chocolate, a heavenly frozen drink that kind of resembles a frozen hot chocolate (Serendipity III, eat your heart out). Light and icy, it's the perfect summer compliment to a hot and muggy day. I'm told if you love coffee, the iced aroma light is pretty damn good.
Aroma Coffeehouse is located on Houston between Greene and Wooster.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF MAHAMANA PT. MADAN MOHAN MALAVIYA TO INDIAN RELIGION AND SOCIETY
Dr. Deo Brat Chaube
Prof. Department of Philosophy & Religion, Banaras Hindu University
This paper presents the thoughts of Mahamana Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya whose contributions to Indian religion and society are notable and remarkable. He felt that the future greatness of India could be built only on the foundations of its past greatness. He regarded that a certain type of life is imperative for the spiritual equality and moral freedom.
Mahamana Malaviya was a devout Sanātanī. The literal meaning of Sanātana is "Sadā nūtana", ever new. Yūsk defines " Sanātano iva nitya nūtanāh." To Malaviyaji Sanātana Dharma is the base of all happiness and wealth and of all greatness and goodness.[1] According to him "the dearest thing on the earth was religion and that religion was the Sanātana Dharma."[2] Hence Malaviyaji believed in the superiority of Sanātana Dharma. Mahatma Gandhi Says, "Malaviyaji's, knowledge of religious scriptures was very great. He was by heredity a great religious preacher."[3] For Malaviyaji, religion is an essential factor in an individual's life. Religion means love and service, tolerance and mutual regard. He was convinced that the true religion will contribute in rich measures to promote harmony and happiness among all mankind. Selfless service is an important element of true religion. Hence, the service of the motherland is also the essence of religion.[4] He asserts that there can be no greater Dharma (religion) than the service of all living beings.[5]
Malaviyaji had firm faith in almighty God and realized its importance in human life. It is one God who dwells in all living organisms, though we may call Him by different names.[6] Brahmā, Vishnu and Mahesha are not three different deities but three different names of one God who is distinguished according to His different functions.[7] "One should always remember the all-pervading omniscient and omnipotent God with gratitude. The followers of Sanātan Dharma, Arya Samaja, Brahma Samaja, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism should show proper and respectful regard for other religions while following their own faiths. One should be resolute in one's beliefs and should never resort to speaking ill of others, be tolerant to one's antagonists (whether in matters of religion or social relations) and bear love towards all the creatures of the world"[8] Malaviyaji did not aspire for himself even liberation but always thought of other's welfare. His creed was:
न त्वहं कामये राज्यं न स्वर्गं नापुनर्भवम् ।
कामये दुःखतप्तानां प्राणिनामार्तिनाशनम् ॥
(which in translation reads:)
"Indeed, I do not for a royal realm aspire, for release or for paradise.
I aspire for the complete removal of the pain of the suffering living beings."
For Malaviyaji, Hindu Dharma was quite capable to enunciate all the principles which influenced and shaped his life. He realised no need for getting guidance from other Dharmas. This does not mean any disrespect to other Dharmas. He simply showed his committed faith in Hindu Dharma. Prof. S.K. Maitra says, "In fact, Dharma and Hindu Dharma were identical for him, and if the concept of Dharma was that of something universal that of Hindu Dharma must necessarily be so. His conception of the universal was that of universal love.[9] "He had absorbed in himself the precepts of universality and the Brotherhood of man. He had respect for all religions. His faith all along was 'live and let live'[10]
Malaviyaji was an orthodox Sanātanist, but he was never sectarian or fundamentalist. According to him," India is not a country of the Hindus only. It is a country of the Muslims, Christians and the Parsees too. The country can gain strength and develop itself only when the people of different communities of India live in mutual goodwill and harmony. Those who disrupt this unity are enemies of their country and their community alike." He believed that "the days of Hindu or Muslim state had long passed"[11] and the aim should be of a united Indian state. According to Malaviyaji there cannot be contradiction between truly religious men belonging to different faiths and communities. Because all living beings are the creation of the omnipotent God and the 'ray divine shines equally in every man".
No doubt, Malaviyaji was an orthodox Hindu. Mistakenly some of the Muslim leaders blamed him for being anti-Muslim. This accusation is misleading. Prominent leader J.B. Kripalani says: "I know that he (Malaviyaji) was a passionate advocate of Hindu- Muslim unity."[12] His dream of future India was not of a Hindu India but of a strong secular India.
Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya like Dayananda Saraswati was a great Hindu social reformer. According to Dr. Bhagavan Das, " Next after Swami Dayananda Saraswati and the Arya Samaja, the creation of what may be called a common Hindu sentiment is due to him (Malaviyaji)"[13] Malaviyaji's views about social relations are based on Varna system. He accepted fourfold Hindu classification of society but he tried to reform the later conception of castes which he regarded as an undesirable distortion of the original ideals.
In Gītā it is described that the four Varnas are created by God on the basis of Guna and Karma.[14] Malaviyaji incorporates Guna to birth also. "In support of this he quoted a Shloka which said that a full fledged Brāhmin is one who possessed of vidyā (learning) and Tapa (penance) and born Brāhmin. Every Varna normally had its appointed function in general, though there were exceptions to this code in special circumstances."[15] Varna in its real meaning, Malaviyaji thinks, does not exist today. In its ideal sense, by performing good deeds Shudra also becomes a Brāhmin and by bad deeds a Brāhmin falls below the Shudra. He strongly advocated that a man born in a lower caste can achieve Dwijattva by virtue of his character.[16] According to Malaviyaji, such references are available in the Shāstras also. For Malaviyaji, sweeper is superior than the Brāhmana because the former cleanses while the latter generates foul matter.[17] In its real sense Varna Dharma is equally valuable for society. No caste should consider itself higher, and look down upon any other caste.
Malaviyaji was opposed to untouchability. He proclaimed that untouchability must go. It may be remembered here that Gandhiji was of the opinion that the removal of untouchability is a bigger problem than that of gaining Indian independence.[18] Malaviyaji said that all Indians were children of the same God. There could be no spiritual and moral defence of untouchability. Untouchability was not supported by Shāstras also.
According to Malaviyaji, Shudras were entitled to study all the Shāstras including Mahābhārata, Gītā and the Purānas.[19] He asserted "if you admit internal purity of human soul, you or your religion can never get impure or defiled in any way by touch or association with any man.[20] For solution of the problem of untouchability Malaviyaji adopted the religious method. He gave Mantradīkshā to untouchables in Calcutta, Banaras and Nasika. He said that "Mantras would be a certain means of their upliftment socially, politically and spiritually."[21]
Swadeshi was an important means and a dynamic concept in Malaviyaji's philosophy. According to him, Swadeshi was the greatest Dharma. To Gandhiji also it was a religious discipline.[22] Malaviyaji.supported the Swadeshi movement. He explains:
"I took upon it as a part of a religious duty which we owe to our fellowmen. I consider it the Religion of Humanity and our own particular religion; the religion of Humanity demands that you should promote the Swadeshi movement to the utmost extent of your power. In purchasing a piece of cloth, manufactured by a countryman of mine, I have often felt and am feeling now, that I am helping him to obtain at least a morsel of food to enable him to live. The yarn may have come from a foreign country, but the labour he had bestowed upon it, will surely enable him to get a portion, half the price or one third or some portion of the gain in order to feed himself and those that depend upon him. When you find such terrible suffering around you, when you find the drain so great and the income of the people so small, their resources so poor, I say, it is a religious duty cast upon every man of healthy feeling to promote to the utmost extent, the production of Indian manufactures by giving them preference, wherever he can find them, over foreign commodities) even at some sacrifice"[23]
Swadeshi was the only panacea for diminishing the poverty of the country and for finding bread and employment for the inhabitants. Like Gandhiji, Malaviyaji also believed that there was no political intention behind Swadeshi. To Malaviyaji, Swadeshi would confirm Indian's love for India or indigenous things. He appealed to his compatriots to take the vow of Swadeshi and to use Indian made commodities even though they were shaggy and to some extent uneconomical.[24]
Malaviyaji was a great educationist. Education, to him, is an essential function of the cosmic order. According to him "there was no subject of greater importance for the welfare of the people than education." Education would solve the problems of untouchability, communal bitterness, ignorance (avidyā), etc. It would help in raising the social status of Harijans and women.[25] To him, education had no meaning if it would not succeed to produce a good man.
Malaviyaji had a comprehensive scheme of education. He correlated education not only with the culture and traditions of the country but also with patriotism, spirit of social service and loyalty to the motherland.[26] Banaras Hindu University is a glorious epitome of Malaviyaji's idealism and realism. It was not just an imitation of other universities. "Malaviyaji, rather, had certain distinct motives and fundamental ideals in his mind while establishing this institution. The burning desire to restore India to its past glory, the urge to combine religion with education for the purpose of developing the 'national spirit' which was the foremost and the pressing need of the time) the necessity of reorganising the utterly disintegrated Hindu Society."[27] All these stirred innermost of Malaviyaji. Malaviyaji wished the university education to stand on the solid basis of primary and secondary education. He wanted that the courses should be made more practical. A university should be composed of practical faculties as those of applied sciences, technology, agriculture and commerce. Malaviyaji wanted to prepare the way for a rich economic advancement through which the country could be able to face the international industrial competition. Here it is notable that in his industrial approach, Malaviyaji was more ahead than Gandhiji. Resultantly for the first time in India, a technological Institute came into existence in Banaras Hindu University in 1918.[28] Malaviyaji's philosophy of education surpasses the boundaries of geographical limitation and integrates the other philosophies. Therefore he believed in the philosophy of "vashudhaiva kutumbakam".
In Conclusion, it can be said that Malaviyaji was a great religious and social thinker of India like Swami Vivekananda. He was a great educationalist also. According to C. Y. Chintamani "Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya is a model of a Hindu.[29] Sitaram Chaturvedi depicts his greatness in the following words:
"He was neither a theorist nor a propagandist but was a practical philosopher who put all his thoughts to action. Whatever he believed, he sincerely followed it and what he did not believe, he never did it whatever the pressure of public opinion might be. In this respect, he was really a benevolent and a true Hindu who understood the tides of time and lead the nation and Hindu society from good to better and better to best."[30]

Arch Enemy Revive Early LPs With A Twist; Carcass Aim For U.S. Tour; Plus Disturbed & More News That Rules, In Metal File
'We're just really hungry right now,' frontwoman Angela Gossow says of Arch Enemy's plans.
archive-Chris-Harris 06/05/2008
Last fall, Michael Amott, guitarist for Swedish melodic death-metallers Arch Enemy, confirmed in an interview with Metal File that Carcass, the legendary British grindcore band he played in during the early '90s, would be re-forming for a spate of live gigs. But while the band has booked a ton of festival appearances overseas, Carcass have yet to announce a single U.S. date.
The File spoke to Arch Enemy frontwoman Angela Gossow (and Ammott's fiancee) last week, just before the band played the final date on the sold-out Tyranny and Bloodshred Tour, with support acts Dark Tranquillity, Divine Heresy and Firewind. Gossow told us that while nothing has been made official, "there is something in the works for the States."
According to Gossow, Carcass have been approached about a possible U.S. headlining run, but the right offer hasn't come to the table yet. "There's obviously huge interest in a Carcass tour," she said. "I'm sure you guys will get it, but nothing has been confirmed or anything."
Gossow and Amott have been engaged "forever," but she says they haven't "found the time to get married yet." If the tour does come to fruition, Gossow said her fiance's life is going to get more hectic than it already is. The guitarist will be pulling double duty with both Arch Enemy and Carcass, because, at the moment, both bands have impossibly full plates.
Arch Enemy, who continue to tour in support of last year's Rise of the Tyrant, have already started working on material for the follow-up, Gossow said. And just six months ago, they hit the studio to re-record some of the band's earliest material.
"We started re-recording the old stuff because, for most people, Arch Enemy started to exist with [2001's] Wages of Sin, because the band got big after I joined," she explained. "Obviously, the band released three albums before that (1996's Black Earth, 1998's Stigmata and 1999's Burning Bridges), and we've been trying on and off to play old songs live. Most of the time, we just get this stare from the crowd, and people think it's a new song or a demo. A lot of young kids haven't heard these tracks, so we just figured we'd re-record them, give them new exposure, and it's going to give us the chance to play them live.
"These songs are 10 years old at this point, and it's going to sound killer," she continued. "Razor-sharp sound — and we'll up the production. The songs will have a little bit of a twist to them; they're going to sound new, even though they're old."
Arch Enemy plan to issue the re-recorded cuts in early 2009, after the release of their forthcoming live DVD, which was shot in Japan in March at a sold-out gig before an audience of 2,500. The footage was captured with 10 cameras, and the DVD will feature tons of backstage footage and interviews, Gossow said.
"We had the Fuji [Pacific] crew doing this, because the boss of Fuji is a huge fan," she said, with a laugh. "Basically, they did it for free, and brought in a crane. You'd never know this guy would like our band, but there are a lot of metal fans out there, and you would never know it, because they look so official, and they're wearing suits. But we're like a metal factory, at the moment. It's so great, because we actually have the motivation and we're just really hungry right now."
The rest of the week's metal news:
The growing beef between Disturbed and the Dillinger Escape Plan got even more interesting this week. It all started when DEP guitarist Ben Weinman claimed in an interview that he'd watched Disturbed practice all their onstage moves during a sound check. Guitarist Dan Donegan fired back, claiming DEP had no idea what it takes to put on as massive a show as Disturbed put on, dismissing the remarks as jealousy. Dillinger fired back on June 2 in a post on their MySpace page, saying Donegan has "little-peen complex" and slamming the band for "sucking." Disturbed frontman David Draiman later said in a radio interview that he respects Dillinger, but that he doesn't "understand what the hell they think they saw with us. ...This is what the big boys do who play stadium shows — they want to worry about how the lights look that they spend so much money on." ...
DragonForce have dubbed their forthcoming LP, which hits stores August 26, Ultra Beatdown. The disc will feature eight tracks, including "The Fire Still Burns," "Heartbreak Armageddon" and "The Warrior Inside." ...
What has drummer David Silveria been up to since taking a "hiatus" from Korn? Starting a new band, that's what. A MySpace page for Satellite Syndrome popped up earlier this week — and has since been pulled down — which stated the band should be releasing its debut album early next year. The group is currently in the studio, recording material for that effort. ...
French progressive-extreme metallers Gojira will issue The Way of All Flesh on October 14. The LP is in the process of being tracked in Los Angeles with producer and ex-Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader. ...
Eerik Purdon has parted ways with Omnium Gatherum. It isn't the first time the bassist has split, and the band still isn't sure why he bolted. "We ain't got a clue really what the hell happened here," the band said in a statement. Omnium are currently on the hunt for a replacement. The band's forthcoming album, The Redshift, will feature 11 tracks, including "Chameleon Skin," "Shapes and Shades," and "Song for December." ...
Walls of Jericho have set The American Dream as the title of their new album, which lands in stores this summer. In other album news, Motörhead will release their next record, Motörize, before the end of the year. ...
Arsis have parted ways with drummer Darren Cesca, and they've already replaced him with Alex Tomlin. Cesca's departure, the band claimed, was due to "differences in personalities and an overall difference in direction."

How Celebrity Exes Are Making Divorce Goals The New Couple Goals
Nancy Varghesefollow
Marriage has always been considered as a sacred pact between two people. But contrary to popular perception, marriages don't come with an instruction manual for husbands and wives and neither is it a life-binding contract anymore.
Sometimes, people fall out of love, and it feels only practical to put one's own happiness first and part ways. What good will it do for either partner to stay committed to a relationship that doesn't help them grow and evolve as human beings?
Thanks to some of the strongest couples in Bollywood, we've been spectators to model amicable breakups between celebrities, and we are all praises for them.
On Tuesday, Raghu Ram shared the news of his divorce with actress Sugandha Garg by posting a picture of the couple on Instagram.
@isugandha Some things never change. Like the love I have for you. Like the fun we have always had together. Nothing ends. It changes and the next phase begins #FriendshipGoals #DivorceGoals
A post shared by Raghu Ram (@instaraghu) on Jan 29, 2018 at 12:50am PST
According to a report by NDTV, Raghu Ram said, "Our relationship has changed over time. Today, we might not be a couple, but we are still the best of friends. The disconnect was bound to happen. The important thing is that we started off as friends, and we realised that if our relationship isn't working, then it is best to stay friends. We have prioritised our friendship over everything else. I am happy about that, and so is she."
Of their separation in 2016, Sugandha had earlier told news agency IANS: "We still see each other very often. We decided that 2016 will be a new beginning with old friends and that's what we are doing. We had a beautiful and special relationship."
Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan have been yet another example of young sweethearts who everyone thought would last the test of time. They didn't, but they haven't let animosity seep into their lives, and are quite happy with the way they're raising their kids, as a team. Nothing but good vibes and sunshine!
Forever and always you stay the sunshine in my life.. Happy happiest birthday 🖤 🎂 🌈🧚🏻♂🌟smile that smile brightest and u always will spread that light…limitless 😇 #sacredheart
A post shared by Sussanne Khan (@suzkr) on Jan 9, 2018 at 10:27am PST
Anurag Kashyap and Kalki Koechlin also look like the kind of couple that built their relationship on friendship and still have immense respect for each other and their work. Both Kashyap and Koechlin have been remarkably civil and respectful towards one another, and have even poked fun at their relationship.
It's not everyday you get to listen to the voice of God and play mixed tapes with your ex. 😅💞 @anuragkashyap10 @anupama.chopra
A post shared by Kalki (@kalkikanmani) on Dec 6, 2017 at 5:46am PST
Say what you must, but being a divorced couple who uphold their values of friendship and keep the blame game under check, is a mark of true compassion and kindness. 'Divorce Goals' all the way!

These last couple of weeks have been super busy at our dive center! Luckily we have added a new instructor to our team, so welcome Leroy Leenstra. Together with Tanya Haynes, who helps us out Sundays and Mondays, and Kyra de Groot, our intern, our team is now complete. Meaning you can come to us 7 days a week to rent or buy gear, fill your tanks, do guided dives or follow a course.
Last week our schedule was filled with a nice mix of all of the above. We had the pleasure to introduce people to diving during a Discover Scuba Dive, we certified new Open Water divers and also did a lot of guided dives. Some divers decided to do 10 days of guided dives, and we are proud to say we could show them a different dive site for each dive.
Leroy was so lucky to encounter 2 spotted Eagle rays on a dive, and then a Manta Ray on 2 other dives. And yes, he has it on camera, so he can proof it….I myself was happy to find a seahorse again and 2 pygmy Pipe horses, who are very rare in the Caribbean. They are so tiny! When I first spotted them I did not have a camera on me, so I went back later with my GoPro. I spend about 20 minutes filming them and boy, did I enjoy myself.
Today I spend with 2 open water students and we had a great time. On our second dive we encountered 4 Green turtles, which was exactly what my students were hoping for. The turtles were not interested in us at all and kept doing what they were doing (scratching themselves), so we could observe them as long as we wanted. That's the joy in diving, it's not about the meters you swim but about finding creatures and observing them.
Already looking forward to tomorrow, when Rob is going to have 2 young girls doing the Bubblemaker course and I will be finishing the Open water course. No Easter egghunts for us this year, instead we blow Easter-bubbles while we dive!!!

But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.
For through the grace given to me, I say, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Through the grace given unto me - By the grace given St. Paul most certainly means his apostolical office, by which he had the authority, not only to preach the Gospel, but also to rule the Church of Christ. This is the meaning of the word, ἡ χαρις, in Ephesians 3:8 : Unto me who am less than the least of all saints is this grace given - is conceded this office or employment immediately by God himself; that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.
Not to think - more highly - Μη ὑπερφρονειν, Not to act proudly; to arrogate nothing to himself on account of any grace he had received, or of any office committed to him.
But to think soberly - Αλλα φρονειν εις το σωφρονειν. The reader will perceive here a sort of paronomasia, or play upon words: φρονειν, from φρην, the mind, signifies to think, mind, relish, to be of opinion, etc.; and σωφρονειν from σοος, sound, and φρην, the mind, signifies to be of a sound mind; to think discreetly, modestly, humbly. Let no man think himself more or greater than God has made him; and let him know that what ever he is or has of good or excellence, he has it from God; and that the glory belongs to the giver, and not to him who has received the gift.
Measure of faith - Μετρον πιστεως. It is very likely, as Dr. Moore has conjectured, that the πιστις, faith, here used, means the Christian religion; and the measure, the degree of knowledge and experience which each had received in it, and the power this gave him of being useful in the Church of God. See Romans 12:6.
For I say - The word "for" shows that the apostle is about to introduce some additional considerations to enforce what he had just said, or to show how we may evince a mind that is not conformed to the world.
Through the grace - Through the favor, or in virtue of the favor of the apostolic office. By the authority that is conferred on me to declare the will of God as an apostle; see the note at Romans 1:5; see also Galatians 1:6, Galatians 1:15; Galatians 2:9; Ephesians 3:8; 1 Timothy 1:14.
Not to think ... - Not to over-estimate himself, or to think more of himself than he ought to. What is the true standard by which we ought to estimate ourselves he immediately adds. This is a caution against pride; and an exhortation not to judge of ourselves by our talents, wealth, or function, but to form another standard of judging of ourselves, by our Christian character. The Romans would probably be in much danger from this quarter. The prevailing habit of judging among them was according to rank, or wealth, or eloquence, or function. While this habit of judging prevailed in the world around them, there was danger that it might also prevail in the church. And the exhortation was that they should not judge of their own characters by the usual modes among people, but by their Christian attainments. There is no sin to which people are more prone than an inordinate self-valuation and pride. Instead of judging by what constitutes true excellence of character, they pride themselves on that which is of no intrinsic value; on rank, and titles, and external accomplishments; or on talents, learning, or wealth. The only true standard of character pertains to the principles of action, or to that which constitutes the moral nature of the man; and to that the apostle calls the Roman people.
But to think soberly - Literally, "to think so as to act soberly or wisely." So to estimate ourselves as to act or demean ourselves wisely, prudently, modestly. Those who over-estimate themselves are proud, haughty, foolish in their deportment. Those who think of themselves as they ought, are modest, sober, prudent. There is no way to maintain a wise and proper conduct so certain, as to form a humble and modest estimate of our own character.
According as God hath dealt - As God has measured to each one, or apportioned to each one. In this place the faith which Christians have, is traced to God as its giver. This act, that God has given it, will be itself one of the most effectual promoters of humility and right feeling. People commonly regard the objects on which they pride themselves as things of their own creation, or as depending on themselves. But let an object be regarded as the gift of God, and it ceases to excite pride, and the feeling is at once changed into gratitude. He, therefore, who regards God as the source of all blessings, and he only, will be an humble man.
(1) Because no other standard is a correct one, or one of value. Our talent, learning, rank, or wealth, is a very improper rule by which to estimate ourselves. All may be wholly unconnected with moral worth; and the worst as well as the best people may possess them.
(2) God will judge us in the day of judgment by our attachment to Christ and his cause Matthew 25; and that is the true standard by which to estimate ourselves here.
(3) nothing else will secure and promote humility but this. All other things may produce or promote pride, but this will effectually secure humility. The fact that God has given all that we have; the fact that the poor and obscure may have as true an elevation of character as ourselves; the consciousness of our own imperfections and short-comings in the Christian faith; and the certainty that we are soon to be arraigned to try this great question, whether we have evidence that we are the friends of God; will all tend to promote humbleness of mind and to bring down our usual inordinate self-estimation. If all Christians judged themselves in this way, it would remove at once no small part of the pride of station and of life from the world, and would produce deep attachment for those who are blessed with the faith of the gospel, though they may be unadorned by any of the wealth or trappings which now promote pride and distinctions among men.
12:3 And I say - He now proceeds to show what that will of God is. Through the grace which is given to me - He modestly adds this, lest he should seem to forget his own direction. To every one that is among you - Believers at Rome. Happy, had they always remembered this! The measure of faith - Treated of in the first and following chapter s, from which all other gifts and graces flow.


Spring has finally arrived. What a fun and exciting time of year! Spring is filled with multiple activities in so many areas of life: school events, kid's spring sports, house projects, yard work, gardening, jogging, hikes, playing outside with the kids, church events, small group socials, retreats, work projects, ministry opportunities, college trips, activities with extended family, movies, plays, family nights, continued school work and projects, or just hanging out. Then there is planning for summer vacations, camps, mission trips, day trips, relaxation, and catching up with our backlog. Wow!
We have six, soon to be seven, people in our family, so multiply the above list by seven. We have different interests and most of the time we have different opinions about what is enjoyable. Our choices often conflict because we have competing agendas … you know, 1 married daughter and our son-in- law (his first Stepping Stones mention!), 1 22-year-old college student and her fiance, 1 teenager, and 2 parents with personalities as diverse as can be. As the father, leader, and previously only male, sometimes I feel like I am in the middle of a 4-way tug-of-war. Uuuuuuuuuugh!
How about you? Are you in a tug of war between your own agenda and God's plan for you? Well, we all have trouble with that inherent core struggle: my kingdom come or Thy kingdom come. Life can slowly separate us from intimacy with God. Today, there are more options than ever distracting us from a close, personal relationship with God. We are often torn between our own agendas and His desires for us. Guarding that inner fire, your passion for Christ is a great challenge in the 21 st century. But really, that's been Satan's strategic plan from the get-go … a tug-of- war to control the direction of your life's path, distracting you from God and making Him look like your enemy, not your ally. Your flesh also wants to master you. But God wants to give you the desires of your heart, and His path is the best way to find fulfillment.
Think about it. What are some things in your life that prevent you from drawing closer to God? All-consuming distractions like E-mails and cell phones? Time spent driving or sitting on the freeway? Pleasing bosses, shuttling kids, trying out new gadgets? Hours on the golf course or in front of the TV? Perhaps even serving in the church? There is nothing inherently wrong with any of these activities … unless you allow them to distract you from a personal and growing relationship with God. If you are involved in something addictive or sinful, or other mood or thoughts interfere with your functioning, drop the tug-of- war rope now, surrender, and get help. Call our free Helpline 844-Life- Change (844-543- 3242). If you or a loved one struggle, we will find the best treatment option.
Today, take an honest look at your activities. Look with the intention of acting on your findings. Make a list of the pros and cons of each activity to help prioritize them. Admit to God that you have allowed busyness or other distractions to take your eyes off Him. Ask for His forgiveness and His help to make Him first in your life. You will be amazed at how nicely the rest of your life will play out and how the desires of your heart will be at hand. You will actually get your kingdom as an obedient heir in His kingdom. Whether you continually pull on the rope and fight against God, or you hang on but let God pull you in the direction He desires for your is your decision, so choose well. Our Curriculum can help you identify and overcome your need to control your agenda.

The Holocaust;
'There are no stupid questions, nor any forbidden ones, but there are some questions that have no answer.' Hedi Fried was nineteen when the Nazis snatched her family from their home in Eastern Europe and transported them to Auschwitz, where her parents were murdered and she and her sister were forced into hard labour until the end of the war.
Now ninety-four, she has spent her life educating young people about the Holocaust and answering their questions about one of the darkest periods in human history. Questions like, 'How was it to live in the camps?', 'Did you dream at night?', 'Why did Hitler hate the Jews?', and 'Can you forgive?'.
With sensitivity and complete candour, Fried answers these questions and more in this deeply human book that urges us never to forget and never to repeat.
'Timeless lessons taught with simple eloquence.' -Kirkus 'Now 94, Fried's largeness of spirit emanates from every considered response to even the most confronting questions asked of her. One senses that her replies are not only educative but therapeutic, especially for young people grappling with their own questions about the meaning of life. While most of her experiences of this period are inescapably dark, there were moments of light that assumed enormous significance.' -Fiona Capp, The Saturday Age 'Fried was 19 when she and her family were sent from Hungary to Auschwitz. Her parents were murdered, but she and her sister survived. They both made a home in Sweden and, ever since, Fried, now 94, has talked to students about her experiences. This slim but powerful volume, sensitively translated by Alice Olsson, comprises answers to the questions she is most frequently asked, such as- Why did you not fight back? and What helped you to survive? , Are you able to forgive? Fried answers with humanity, candour and thoughtfulness in a book that should be required reading for all young people.' -Hannah Beckerman, The Guardian

B.C and Saskatchewan issue COVID-19 warnings following cases at oilsands site
Canadian Press Apr 18, 2020 6:07 PM
FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — Health officials in British Columbia and Saskatchewan are advising people to self-isolate if they're returning from an area of Alberta where an oilsands site is suffering from a COVID-19 outbreak.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority said in a statement that it and the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority have begun a contact tracing investigation into new cases of the novel coronavirus in the province's north that are related to cross-boundary travel.
Dr. Nnamdi Ndubuka, medical health officer with the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority, said some of those new cases are linked with travel from Kearl Lake, an oilsands site north of Fort McMurray.
"This is based on information we have so far — the investigation is still ongoing," Ndubuka wrote in an email. "We are also working with community health staff to identify individuals who might have been exposed to these cases."
The SHA said that all northern Saskatchewan residents should self-isolate for 14 days after returning from northern Alberta, and advises against all non-essential travel between northwest Saskatchewan and northern Alberta.
The Interior Health region in British Columbia also advised Saturday that "contacts or potential contacts" with the Kearl Lake site should self-isolate for 14 days after their last flights home.
"Many residents in the Interior Health region travel to work camps in Alberta for employment," a statement on Interior Health's website said on Saturday. "There is potential for transmission between communities and between our provinces."
Alberta's chief medical officer of health said Friday the number of Alberta cases arising from the facility north of Fort McMurray had risen to 12.
Oilsands operators rely on workers from across the country who fly to sites and stay there for several days or weeks at a time, and the sites continue to operate amid the pandemic as an essential service.
Imperial, which owns Kearl along with ExxonMobil Canada, said as of Thursday it had two active COVID-19 cases on site, and 10 active cases away from the site.
Simon Younger, vice-president of production at Imperial, said at the time that the company had completed contact tracing for these individuals and asked other workers to self-isolate while further testing was underway.
The company said earlier that it had bolstered cleaning and sterilization practices, and that employees are being screened at flight centres, on daily bus trips and at the site, including having their temperatures monitored.
It also said it took steps to ensure social distancing at camp and on the worksite.
