Quick Review: LG KS20 - A Smart Windows Mobile Phone

by jaganath on May 12, 2008

7-day Free trial of Napster!

Recently, I got a chance to play with LG’s hot new Windows Mobile phone, the LG KS20. KS20 is a remarkably thin and lightweight phone with a QVGA screen. I was surprised by the connectivity options available on this phone. It has Triband GSM with UMTS. It is also HSDPA and Wi-Fi enabled for high speed internet browsing. Other standard connectivity options like bluetooth are available.

Though it felt plasticky when I held it in my hand, it is very lightweight - in fact, it is the lightest Windows Mobile phone I have ever come across. The screen is flush and the shiny plastic is prone to getting finger prints. LG also supplies a carrying case in the original box.

There aren’t many custom applications available. Even the today screen customizations done by LG are almost unnoticeable. This is surprising since the competitors like Samsung and HTC provide very heavily customized today screens on their new models. All you get in the KS 20 is a bunch of application launch icons on the bottom of the screen. Everything else is standard windows mobile fare. The absence of GPS based applications are noticeable. You can use an external GPS receiver though.

On the negative side, I felt that the touch screen is not very sensitive. In fact, you have to press the stylus hard to invoke any actions. This made it very uncomfortable to use. I feel that the digitzer’s life may be reduced because of the extra pressure one has to apply. Then again, this may be a problem specific to the piece that I had.

Otherwise, it is a stylish and feature packed tiny little windows mobile phone.

meekness and Humility


Introduction:

Two of the greatest characters in the Bible possessed in common the qualities we want to study in this lesson.

Numbers 12:3 - Moses was very meek, above all men on face of the earth.

Matthew 11:29,30 - Jesus said, "I am meek and lowly in heart."

These men were two of the greatest characters who ever lived. Both were chosen by God to be givers of His law. Jesus was the Divine Son of God. Surely we should seek to be like these men.

Other verses emphasize the importance of these qualities

Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek (gentle - NKJV), for they shall inherit the earth. Jesus declares a "blessing" (happiness) on those who are meek.

Galatians 5:22,23 - Meekness is one of the fruits of the Spirit - qualities that we must possess if we are led by the Spirit.

Proverbs 16:18,19 - Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly.

If we seek to be happy, to be led by the Spirit, to avoid destruction, and to be like great people such as Moses and Jesus, we need to possess meekness and humility.

It is the purpose of this lesson to study these qualities, what they are, and how they will affect our lives. As we study, we will frequently note Moses and Jesus as examples who teach us about meekness and humility.

Definitions:

Meekness

This is an extremely difficult word to translate into English, because we think "meek" implies weakness. Sometimes it is translated (NKJV) "gentleness," but that also implies weakness.

The best way to know the meaning of a word is to study passages where it is used. As we do, we will see meekness is an attitude or quality of heart [1 Peter 3:4] whereby a person willingly accepts and submits without resistance to the will and desires of someone else. The meek person is not self-willed - not continually concerned with self, his own ways, ideas, and wishes. He is willing to put himself in second place and submit himself to achieve what is good for others. Meekness is the opposite of self-will, self-interest, and self-assertiveness.

This is a sign, not of weakness of character (as some think), but of strength. It requires great self-control to submit to others.

Humility

This is an attitude or quality of mind [Acts 20:19] whereby a person holds low esteem or opinion of his own goodness and importance. Spiritually, one abases himself because he realizes his sinfulness and therefore he is willing to depend on God to meet His needs. It is the opposite of pride, haughtiness, and self-exaltation.

Being humble implies that a person is modest, and does not think that he/she is better or more important than others. They do not brag about their achievements, even though internally, they know they did well. Humility can be considered a good quality and is actually one of the 7 virtues in Christianity.

Low self-esteem has more of a negative connotation. A person with low self-esteem might believe (wrongly) that they are worthless and that everything they do is wrong. He/she might not just believe that they are not better or more important than others, but that they are not even equal to others and that others are better or more important than them.

thank you everybody.

all answers contributed to my understanding. so i just had to go by the thumbs on this one >.<

so a humble person is kinda like a quitely strong person, while a low self esteem person is a weak person?

sometimes the things i brag about, are the things im insecure about.

Blessed are the poor in spirit?

What does this mean? In my theology class, my teacher asked this, and I answered "It means blessed are the humble." She said no and later said it means humble.

Also, is there a difference between humble and meek? If not, why does Jesus say the same thing twice?

The poor in spirit are those who have reached rockbottom and have to depend on God alone, not their talents or abilities or name. They have nothing but their faith...which means they have everything.

The humble are those who know who Christ is, and who they are--and the difference. I call it "knowing how important you aren't." It's not a "poor me" thing, it's very freeing when you know that Jesus is on the job and you aren't required to be a big cheese--just faithful and true. When you know who you are in Christ, you don't have to worry about your reputation, just as Christ washed the disciples feet because as the Word says, "Knowing who He was and where He was going..." He knew He wasn't lowering Himself.

Meekness and humility go hand in hand. Humility is who you are before God and yourself; meekness is how you act with others. You don't have to defend yourself, or keep up with others, because you know who you are--therefore hostility and arrogance and all that aren't necessary.

    Poor in spirit has a meaning of its own: those who know of their essential need for God, and find the true meaning of joy when they find that God is sufficient for all of their needs.

    Humble is of low status in society.

    Meek is timid, afraid, not confident.

    (Theology is the study of words people have written about things that didn't actually exist. One of the more pointless activities in life.)

    Blessed are the poor in spirit." The Beatitudes reveal an order of happiness and grace, of beauty and peace. Jesus celebrates the joy of the poor, to whom the Kingdom already belongs:

    The Word speaks of voluntary humility as "poverty in spirit"; the Apostle gives an example of God's poverty when he says: "For your sakes he became poor."

    The People of the "poor" - those who, humble and meek, rely solely on their God's mysterious plans, who await the justice, not of men but of the Messiah - are in the end the great achievement of the Holy Spirit's hidden mission during the time of the promises that prepare for Christ's coming. It is this quality of heart, purified and enlightened by the Spirit, which is expressed in the Psalms. In these poor, the Spirit is making ready "a people prepared for the Lord."

    blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs shall be the kingdom of god... he also says unless you become like chidren you may not enter the kingdom of god... it means simple- minded, innocent- minded, pure...
    children have pure minds, clear minds, inocent minds. notmuch corruption, anger, hatred in it... poor in spirit means, having a peaceful and simple mind. when mind is still, when all judgement, all fear, all drama is gone... you are in heaven, you experience the kingdom of god... it lies beyond mind... gets reflected in a still mind only, in a "poor spirited" mind.

    Many things in scripture are presented in constructive parallelism, where essentially the same thought is presented in slightly different ways, to clarify. Unless you feel a need, you will not ask for a blessing. If you do not ask, you will not receive the blessing YAHOSHUA would like to give you.

    Poor in spirit, In my humble opinion means those who have suffered alot. Repeated bad experiences can cause spirit to weaken. Now if people are victim of oppression and they have not done anything to deserve it and yet are patient in their lives, Indeed a Just God will always bless them!

World's richest bachelor left big legacy

By GENE CURTIS World Staff Writer
1/25/2007

Lew Wentz, one of America's richest men, also had a secret identity as Daddy Long Legs, a year-around Santa who bought gifts and shoes for needy Ponca City children. But few knew it until he died.

It was a role he started long before he had enough money to finance such generosity; when he had to borrow money to meet the needs of those children. But he saw the need and wanted to help.

Among his generosities was to finance treatment for a crippled boy, an act that led Wentz to become one of the founders of and the largest contributor to the Oklahoma Society for Crippled Children, an agency that helped thousands.

His generosity wasn't confined to children or to Ponca City residents. He gave millions to a myriad of charities.

Wentz had a fortune estimated at more than $25 million -- a tremendous sum in those days -- when he died of coronary thrombosis on June 10, 1949. And even after his death, his fortune grew because of oil discoveries on land he had bought or leased. Only a few years earlier he had been identified as one of seven Americans with annual incomes exceeding $5 million.

He was 68, although his age had always been a closely guarded secret.

Sometimes called the world's

richest bachelor, Wentz once said he regretted that he had never married. "Every girl should marry by the time she's 25," he said. "And every man by 30 if he's financially able."

Thousands of Oklahomans owe their educations to Wentz, who was too poor as a boy to go to college but who set up loan programs for students after he became fabulously wealthy.

Hundreds of others were able to start businesses because of loans from Wentz.

Wentz got into the oil business by chance -- and on a shoestring. Sometimes he was too broke to pay his room and board bill.

Louis Haines Wentz was one of seven children of a Pittsburgh blacksmith and toolmaker. When he graduated from high school, college was out of the question. He played on and managed semi-pro baseball teams and became the coach of all the high school teams in Pittsburgh.

His job as coach left Wentz time for Republican ward work, and by chance he called on John McCaskey, who had made a fortune selling bulk sauerkraut and who had invested in E. W. Marland's wildcat oil venture on the 101 Ranch near Ponca City but couldn't go to Oklahoma because of his kraut business.

McCaskey hired Wentz to go to Ponca as his personal representative, and the two became partners with Marland. Wentz soon split off from Marland and began cornering leases in the Peckham-Braman region. At one time, Wentz turned down a $400,000 offer for his leases although he had only $39 in his pocket.

Wentz had made his first million dollars by the time of World War I and by 1927 the Wentz Oil Corp. was making a million dollars a month. McCaskey had died and Wentz had bought McCaskey's interest from his heirs. Wentz sold out before the stock market crash of 1929 and invested in government bonds.

He later invested in auto agencies, a string of newspapers, agriculture and many other businesses, even a mortuary. But he retained an interest in the oil business and his fortune continued to grow.

When Wentz arrived in Oklahoma in 1911, he rented a room at the Arcade Hotel, a rooming house a block from the Santa Fe Railroad depot where owner Annie Rhodes treated him like a mother. When he couldn't pay his room and board bill, she told him to "pay me when you can."

Wentz never forgot her generosity and paid her with high interest after his wells came in. Many others who stayed there under the same arrangement didn't remember their debts.

Wentz once built a mansion outside of Ponca City but returned to the rooming house to be close to his friends and lived there the rest of his life.

Although Wentz was probably the biggest guiding influence of the Republican Party in Oklahoma, he resisted efforts of party leaders who wanted him to run for governor in 1934 and for U.S. senator in 1944. His only experience in public office was a few years as chairman of the state Highway Commission.

Gov. Leon C. Phillips appointed Wentz to the Will Rogers Commission and he was reappointed by Govs. Robert S. Kerr and Roy J. Turner. He was among a handful of prominent citizens who had furnished the funds to build the garden and crypt at the memorial in Claremore where the bodies of Rogers, his wife and infant son are buried.

Among Wentz's philanthropies was a loan program for students at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University that had helped more than 2,000 students before his death and is still functioning.

He also lent money freely to young people who wanted to start businesses. A number of his businesses at his death were those he took back after his proteges failed.
