The Y axis has been increased to 10C above normal now on this chart to show the true heat that is coming out of the Ocean, going to be a rough winter and next year coming.

When faced with situations like these, each of us can act in harmony with our Bible-trained conscience.

I've been a Content Delivery Network all this time and had no idea?!? 🇨🇦🤷🏻‍♂️

I know how the distribution system works and that it is currently a purchased service. I also knew that we used to use Akamai and that now we use AWS - I just didn't know what the letters "CDN" stood for. Now I know it stands for Content Delivery Network Thank you for clearing that up.

I just did some translation of NWS and noted that there have appeared some text about SMS and also Whatsapp and something called Wechat. That sounds promising. I hope we can soon get rid of e-mail. Not all in our cong. have emails, the prefer SMS or Whatsapp. That is for the younger ones... the older much prefer e-mails still. /Marko

We, ourselves, hold a number of bible texts to help us discern the disposition of someone we meet, and the way someone responds. Col 4:6 talks about gracious words, ours or another persons. 2Pet 2:3 talks about counterfeit words. 2Tim 1:13 talks about wholesome words, and Prov 10:19 speaks about controlled words. We cannot stop what others say, but we might cause them to rethink by what we say and the manner in which we say it.

Here I thought CDN stood for Canadian,eh! 😁🤔🙊

Wow above my intelligence level but very interesting.

CDN is the initials or abbreviation for Content Delivery Network. It is composed of a company who has many servers (server farms) around the world (such as 100 countries). They sell the ability to take your digital data at one point (input) and then post it or share it with their servers and release it around the world according to your instructions. It is 'cloud based' information distribution on a very large scale. Akamai is one company, Amazon got into the game around 2009. The Watchtower Society has used both of the companies. When a monthly broadcast is finalized, it is sent to the CDN company with instructions as to when and how it is to be released. The CDN company shares it with their 50-100 server locations around the world. At the appointed time the simultaneously release the material. Then they monitor the release. When you request access, the CDN identifies your location and releases the data from the nearest server to you. If one server is getting bogged down with too many requests, the CDN company will reroute the request to a more distant server with less load for a quicker response. I have attached a copy of Akamai's visual explanation from their website.

Correction on the June update, June 2024 still holds the warmest title, NASA made an update for June 2024 to +1.52C so that makes June 2026 Second Warmest. I have a revised corrected list now. We should start seeing large climate impact soon from this Super El Niño , there’s a strong chance now that 2026 will beat 2024 as warmest.

Come Down Now!!! Every mother and child knows that...

OK ... so: CDN = Common Digital Network Call Domain Names Carry Domain News Catch Download Nodes What is "CDN" ?

We used Akamai service for many years but after Amazon offered AWS in 2009 (at a good price I assume) we branched out to use much of their delivery package. So the content you see on Broadcasts and Updates and similar digital information is uploaded to one of these services and they redistribute it around the world using their 'server farms' or data centers to get it to your locality.

Possible 052 Since the last one was 061 (instead 051) it may be 062 instead.

Content Delivery Network, for what it’s worth. You can Google it if you want to know more.

Suggested Reading This entry is the third in a series exploring one of the most overlooked parts of Jehovah’s creation—what we casually call “nothing.” While each article stands on its own, you’ll appreciate this one even more if you first read the previous two entries. 1. “Nothing” Is Stupid Introduces the surprising idea that “nothing” deserves a second look. 2. Nothing Is Wonderful — A Glimpse of Wonder™ Expands that thought by showing that what we call empty space possesses remarkable properties. The Expanding “Nothing” — a Glimpse of Wonder entry™ — Hold your hands about two feet apart. Now ask someone, “What am I holding?” Most people would answer without hesitation: “Nothing.” Then ask one more question. “Who put it there?” For a moment, the conversation changes. To many, the answer seems obvious. “No one. It’s just… nothing.” But as servants of Jehovah, we know better. Jehovah put it there. That may sound strange until we remember that what we casually call “nothing” is not nonexistence. It is part of the heavens He created. The space between my hands exists because Jehovah willed it into existence. That thought alone is remarkable. But there is something even more remarkable. For generations, astronomers carefully studied the light arriving from distant galaxies. They noticed something unexpected. The farther away a galaxy appeared, the farther its light was shifted toward the red end of the spectrum. The conclusion was astonishing. The universe is expanding. At first, one might imagine galaxies racing through space like runners on a track. But that isn’t what astronomers discovered. Space itself is expanding. The galaxies are largely being carried apart because the very fabric of space is stretching. So much so that extremely distant galaxies can appear to recede faster than the speed of light—not because they are breaking Einstein’s limit, but because the space between us and them continues to expand. Think about that. The “nothing” is expanding. (I’m suddenly reminded of Limahl’s biggest hit…) We spend our lives admiring stars, galaxies, and nebulae—and rightly so. They are breathtaking works of Jehovah’s hands. Yet those magnificent objects occupy only a tiny fraction of what we observe. Most of the observable universe is the immense expanse that holds them all. Perhaps that is why this simple thought keeps returning to mind: It is His most expansive creation. The stars are magnificent. The galaxies inspire awe. But the vast reaches between them quietly declare something too—that Jehovah’s creativity cannot be measured merely by counting the objects He made. Even the immeasurable expanse that carries light across billions of light-years is His workmanship. The next time someone asks what is between your hands, you might smile before answering. It may look like “nothing.” But Jehovah made it.

What is the 'CDN'?

Hmm, that is not exactly what anyone here said. First, we would try to make sure if the person is an apostate or just a misinformed person. If just misinformed, maybe we can help the person to change her view. If we find the person is actually an apostate, we would respectfully stop the discussion and leave graciously.

As I read the question, I found myself wondering if you first established that there's actually a spiritual issue to address. Sometimes our concern for someone is genuine, but before looking for counsel, it's good to ask whether Jehovah has drawn a line there or whether He has left the matter to individual conscience. — Romans 14:4, 10-13. It almost seems that the conclusion has already been reached that something needs to be corrected, and the next step is simply to find material that supports that conclusion. But have we first established that there is actually a Scriptural issue here?— Proverbs 18:13, 17. Could it be that this is simply a matter of personal judgment? If so, then perhaps we should be careful not to draw a line where Jehovah has not. — Romans 14:1-5; Colossians 2:20-23. If there were clear Scriptural principles being violated, then the direction would be obvious. But if not, perhaps our first question should be whether this is something Jehovah has actually asked us to correct. — Micah 6:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:11.

Most people I know hear the word assault and assume bodily harm, but the legal definition is more about the threat of harm. I didn't see a physical attack in the video and wasn't sure if I missed something so I was trying to clarify if they meant the legal definition.

Im not sure why the word used bothers you, but in Spanish asaltado can also mean mugged.

It looks like there might be an unusual update coming to Watchtower Library. Some parts of the website and CDN have already been updated or soon to be updated in connection with it.

Friday, July 24 The Lord stood near me and infused power into me.—2 Tim. 4:17. We need Jehovah’s help to keep zealously preaching in the face of opposition today. (Rev. 12:17) Why can you be certain that Jehovah will support you? Consider Jesus’ prayer recorded in John chapter 17. Jesus asked Jehovah to watch over the apostles, and Jehovah answered that request. The book of Acts reports how he helped the apostles to preach zealously despite persecution. In his prayer, Jesus also asked Jehovah to watch over those who would put faith in the apostles’ preaching. That includes you. Jehovah has not stopped answering Jesus’ prayer; He will help you just as He helped the apostles. (John 17:11, 15, 20) Even if it turns out to be more difficult to preach the good news with zeal as the end draws close, we will receive all the support we need.—Luke 21:12-15. w25.0318 ¶13-14

Unless she’s doing something immoral, I would mind my own business. If she has mature spiritual sisters, they could possibly address if there’s a need. But yeah, a random person, especially a brother, doesn’t need to be worrying about how many times a day she posts on tik tok.

It's not just you - I don't see what the problem is. This is general advice for when you think there is a problem.
