Prototyping Interactive Tactile Digital Logic Simulations: A Hybrid Approach
Get PDFTactile exhibits are common in museums and on the walls of university halls. However, few (if any) tools exist for creating tactile exhibits for teaching digital logic or computing concepts. This project implemented a framework for creating tactile digital logic simulation exhibits, with a focus on rapid prototyping and distributed architecture. Prototyping allows for fast iteration, with the ability to simulate unlimited hardware components such as buttons, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and other input or output devices. Through the abstraction of implementations and a distributed communication protocol, switching to real hardware is seamless and works in tandem with simulated hardware. The framework is demonstrated with a central processing unit (CPU) exhibit
Praise God in Advance
Get PDFAfter consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: “Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever.” As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. - 2 Chronicles 20:21–22 (NIV)
Praise God in advance because the battle has already been won

Quantifying How Natural History Traits Contribute to Bias in Community Science Engagement: A Case Study Using Orbweaver Spiders
Get PDFOnline citizen science platforms can be crucial to the scientific and regulatory community, but inherent biases based on organism traits can influence the likelihood of a species being reported and accurately identified. We explored how traits of orb weaving spiders impact data in iNaturalist, using the invasive Jorō spider as a case study. This species is an outlier among orbweavers due to its large size and bright coloration, and was the most frequently reported species, with the most identifications and research-grade observations. It was also reported by less experienced users on average, highlighting its potential role as a gateway species into community science participation. This bias towards large, flashy orbweaver species suggests underrepresentation of smaller, drab species. Given the increasing importance of open access digital biodiversity records, we encourage researchers to engage more with the iNaturalist community and contribute their expertise in improving the data quality wherever possible
Ken Wetmore Living Memoirs Interview
Get PDFKen, a Southern alumn, shared about his time as a youth pastor in New Zealand. He described his year and how it impacted his career journey. He shared many stories of God working in his life before, during, and after his mission year.
New Zealand is a country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, consisting of two main islands. The majority of the population is of European descent, primarily Māori and Pākehā, with significant communities made up of individuals of Pacific Islander and Asian descent. The predominant religion is Christianity, although the country is known for its secular and diverse society. New Zealand is known for its natural landscapes, including beaches, mountains, and rainforests, as well as its vibrant indigenous Māori culture and outdoor adventure activities.

Revelation in the Song of Songs
No full textSong of Songs, or Shir Hashirim, is a very special book of the Bible for many reasons. For example, it is the most metaphorical, opening the door to many different interpretations that do not oppose each other. It is also one of the books that does not contain any of God\u27s names, at least in the most used versions of the Bible. It holds quite a few Guinness Bible Records in terms of word occurrences and word first appearance.
In light of this, Song of Songs should be fascinating, but most studies of it have followed a narrow and limited path. The book has often been seen as primarily a story about a woman and a man deeply in love. And it certainly contains that aspect in striking detail. Some parents would not dare read it aloud in front of their children. Sermons based on verses from Song of Songs are almost always linked to marital relationships or something similar.
But is that all this book is about? Certainly not. In fact, the Son of God used a connotation found only in Song of Songs, in the last prophecy he gave on his way to Calvary. The study of Song of Songs alongside the book of Daniel and Revelation hints of prophetic aspects. For example, Song of Songs describes in detail the seven churches of Revelation. It also alludes to the two statues of the book of Daniel. And the four beasts? Yes, they have their allegories there as well. God\u27s laws? Of course. Even the sealing of God\u27s people was not left out. Country living? There is no way to miss it. The Great Controversy and how it ends: this is perhaps the greatest message of the book
