YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWS BELOW
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....
Jared Maudlin, a senior in mechanical engineering at Eastern Washington University in the US, wrote to the editor of the student paper after seeing his female counterparts struggle to have their voices be heard in STEM subjects.
"To the women in my engineering classes," writes Jared Mauldin, a senior at Eastern Washington University. "While it is my intention in every other interaction I share with you to treat you as my peer, let me deviate from that to say that you and I are in fact unequal….I did not for example, grow up in a world that discouraged me from focusing on science." With eloquence, this mechanical engineering senior goes on to address many of the societal challenges facing women enteri...ng STEM careers.
Women are dramatically underrepresented in many STEM fields, particularly engineering: in 2012, only 18% of engineering bachelor's degrees in the US were granted to women. It's also common for women who graduate from engineering programs to leave the profession, often because of discrimination and hostile work environments -- something Mauldin also tackles in his letter to the editor published in the current issue of his college newspaper, The Easterner. "I have had no difficulty whatsoever with a boys club mentality, and I will not face added scrutiny or remarks of my being the 'diversity hire.' When I experience success, the assumption of others will be that I earned it."
Mauldin also addresses the societal attitudes that teach girls that intelligence and ingenuity are not what we celebrate in women: "I was not bombarded with images and slogans telling me that my true worth was in how I look, and that I should abstain from certain activities because I might be thought too masculine. I was not overlooked by teachers who assumed that the reason I did not understand a tough math or science concept was, after all, because of my gender… So, you and I cannot be equal. You have already conquered far more in this field than I will ever face."
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......
