  1. Today
  2. Ill admit i did not read through all the pages in this post. However if your body does not produce insulin, you will probably need some replacement. If your body makes insulin but it does not move into your cells then you can try to control without insulin. Its a difficult illness but not impossible. Hopefully goes well for you. Diet and exercise work good for any illness
  3. So curious if anyone has seen this. I am updated in both Scheduler and Publisher. The option to select 'Hospitality' is gone? we have been using this feature for a year now. I unchecked that option in App settings. Additionally, the PT entries have the hospitality option checked. Re-checked the settings option, added a different mail and still no joy. Any ideas on the fix?
  4. I'm very sorry to hear that happened to her. Still, the same methods mentioned in reversing T2D are also very effective in managing T1D and allowing such ones to live a much happier and long life. T1D is quite rare in comparison to T2D. I did miss the sentence where the AI mentions reversing T2D specifically, though it started off in a way that confused me as it wasn't relevant to the thread's focus of T2D. I understand that not all autoimmune conditions can be reversed over time even when maintaining strict habits due to significant organ damage, I live with some myself that would come back if I returned to my old diet. I mentioned one case of T1D, but there are now many such individuals keeping their T1D under control with very low levels of exogenous insulin and non-diabetic blood levels. Here is what another AI references about managing it specifically with the same methods many have shared regarding T2D, along with the case report for the second: "Long-Term (10-Year) Ketogenic Diet Study: A notable case report followed a patient with T1D who adhered to a strict ketogenic diet (\le50\text{ g} of carbohydrates per day) for 10 years (Koutnik et al., 2024). The patient achieved exceptional glycemic control with an HbA1c of 5.5% and a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) time-in-range of 90%, all while experiencing a 43% reduction in daily insulin requirements. Crucially, the 10-year follow-up showed no adverse effects on kidney function, thyroid function, or bone mineral density, though LDL cholesterol did increase (Koutnik et al., 2024)." (as I've mentioned, studies now show that a proper ketogenic diet is cardio-protective and the high LDL has no merit on atherosclerosis over time) "Adult Management Case: Another case report followed a male in his 20s who slowly tapered down to a strict ketogenic diet (Gardemann et al., 2023). His diabetes biomarkers improved to the point of hitting the official non-diabetic range, his overall quality of life improved, and his total daily insulin requirements dropped significantly by 70%." Here is the second's case study: https://edm.bioscientifica.com/downloadpdf/view/journals/edm/2023/3/EDM23-0008.pdf Note some of the very positive benefits and absence of adverse events that can be maintained in spite of T1D if you stick with it: "It could even be argued that the patient is less prone to the dangers of diabetic ketoacidosis as his low glycemic variability stops blood sugar levels exceeding certain values, while diabetics following the standard approach show higher glycemic variability (Fig. 5). During the reported timeframe, the patient did not suffer from any acute illness. During the follow-up period, there was not a single incidence of severe hypoglycemia which has remained till today. There was also no incidence of ketoacidosis. Arguably, the most important change seen from this treatment was the significant increase in the quality of life of the patient. Due to the extreme reduction of blood glucose fluctuations and reduced HbA1c values, the patient reported more energy, clearer thought, the ability to focus better, decreased hunger urgency and the overall feeling of greater safety and security in the management of his disease. We have to keep in mind that such a diet needs to be followed for the rest of the patient’s life in order to achieve that tight glycemic control. Transitioning to a ketogenic diet may initially appear to be limiting from the outsider’s perspective but once the dietary commitment is consistently adhered to, people report high levels of satisfaction and satiety from protein and fat-focused meals. People following a ketogenic diet need to plan their meals when eating outside of the home. The beginning of this diet seems to be especially difficult for most people as they experience carbohydrate withdrawal and tend to crave sweets and carbohydrates."
  5. Deep Thoughts indeed.. You're a deeeeep thinker...
  6. Remember the NASA space project Voyager (VGER for Star Trek fans) launched 49 years ago and still going? Problem isn’t so much the craft, but the fact that the original personnel are all gone and the vastly inferior computing at that time. interesting article relating current dilemmas: NASA Still Maintains Some of Voyager Spacecraft Code
  7. is it working to reduce chocolate intake. they are gooey too
  8. I noticed an 'undocumented feature' last night. The KH Cleaning assignments are posted several months in advance and they are not in order in the Duties section. Some of the assignments for this month are at the bottom of the list with the assignments for later in the year. The KH Cleaning assignments are for the individual meeting date but they are still showing up as Week assignments in the description of the assignment.
  9. James, NWP devs are not members here nor read this forum. They will never know all you have posted unless you file a ticket by means of their support system. Complaining here is ok, but it won't solve anything.
  10. More inconsistencies or Problems in the NWP app, this time in the Away Speaker details! In the Away Public Talk under Assignments some of the congregations that requested speakers from us DO NOT show the mobile number of the Talk Coordinator who requested the speaker but just his email address. After investigating this further, when the contact number in the NWS app is in the format of (123) 456-7890 it DOES NOT show up it in the NWP app. When it is in the format of 123-456-7890 it DOES display it. For crying out loud, I feel like that this 4.0.* NWP app was released in a beta stage and this will not be the last problem. There are parsing routines for field entries that will check the validity of any entries. The "( )" is a valid entry in the phone field and before you populate the Talk Coordinator details in the NWS app you should run it through a parsing routine and flag it if there are invalid entries or force the entries to a format you want. Since the NWS accepts the (123) 456-7890 format but doesn't display it in the NWP app you must have a problem in the populating of the Talk Coordinator's details in the NWP app. As I mentioned before PLEASE be diligent in the QC before releasing a new version.
  11. So it will at least cover the story from chapter 44 to chapter 59 (in jy) and, if so, stop right before the Transfiguration. Ep 7 and 8 are probably two long episodes.
  12. Looking forward to world cup as well. Theres a stadium not too far away but tickets are too expensive for me so ill probably just stick to watching theres a few brothers from Portugal in my hall so I know theyll be inviting people over to watch
  13. There are some people that eat fast food very often. And you will note that I said I walked to a ball game and stopped at Dairy Queen for a hamburger and a drink. When I was still working, I would drive by several fast-food restaurants. I am not saying the fast food is the only cause but for some people it is a major contributor. Also walking to a ball game and driving to work was also important. Unlike you there are people who eat fast food almost daily. I agree about the High fructose corn syrup being the biggest problem. But i think there are other things that also contribute to the problem.
  14. Type 2 diabetes is the adult-onset diabetes. It is not insulin dependent and is much easier to treat than type 1 diabetes. I had a niece with type 1 diabetes which she had from the time she was a teenager until she died at the age of 40. I have believed in "fasting for your health" for the past 35 years. I have fasted on 3 occasions, but only for 3 days each time. If I tried fasting now, I would have to stop my medication. I went without eating once (just for one day) while still taking prescription medicines. It upset my stomach really bad.
  15. Happy When Hated. [Verse 1]: They laugh when I speak of Your holy name, Yet deep in my heart burns a heavenly flame. The world may reject what it cannot see, But Your loving spirit keeps strengthening me. When darkness surrounds and the cold winds rise, I still see Your promise beyond troubled skies. You carried me gently through sorrow and pain, And taught me that sunshine can follow the rain. [Pre-Chorus]: I will not fear the voices of night; Your hand is leading me into the light. Though many may turn and walk far away, Your love gives me courage each day. [Chorus]: I’m happy when hated for standing with You, For Your love is stronger than all I go through. No chains and no trials can silence my song; With Jehovah beside me, I always stay strong. Faith lifts me higher than mountains above; I live in the power of Your endless love. [Verse 2]: They question the path that I faithfully choose, Not knowing the peace they themselves refuse. But I see compassion in each angry face, For many are searching for truth and for grace. Like Stephen and Jesus, I pray from my heart That someday they too choose Jehovah’s part. For hatred can fade when Your goodness is shown, And seeds of Your Kingdom in hearts can be sown. [Pre-Chorus]: You teach me to answer with kindness and peace, To trust that Your mercy will never cease. Though hatred may echo around me today, Your spirit keeps lighting my way. [Chorus]: I’m happy when hated for standing with You, For Your love is stronger than all I go through. No chains and no trials can silence my song; With Jehovah beside me, I always stay strong. Faith lifts me higher than mountains above; I live in the power of Your endless love. [Verse 3]: This world may divide and choose sides in the fight, But I serve the Kingdom of truth and of light. No prison can weaken the hope that I hold; Your promises shine brighter far more than gold. My brothers and sisters stand faithful and near; Their courage and kindness bring comfort and cheer. Together we walk through the storm and the flame, Still joyful and proud to honor Your name. [Pre-Chorus]: And when tears are falling, You stay by my side; In You, I will always safely abide. No hatred can steal what heaven has given; My hope is alive and risen. [Bridge]: One day every sorrow and tear will be gone; The nations will learn where true peace belongs. No voices of hatred, no fear and no pain, Just joy in Your Kingdom forever to reign. Until that bright morning, I’ll faithfully stand, With love in my heart and Your truth in my hands. [Final Chorus]: I’m happy when hated for serving Your name, For walking with You is far greater than fame. Though this world may judge me, Your smile is enough; You fill me with courage when life becomes tough. Forever I’ll trust You wherever I go; Your love is the brightest light I will know. Faith makes me fearless, Your spirit my song; With Jehovah beside me, I always belong. Happy When Hated.mp3
  16. I always have some deep thoughts in bed. Soon my sister is going to pioneer school. I wonder should I ask her to bring some extra food from the school back home for me? Back to bed with some more deep thoughts.
  17. I used live captions on my iPad, and ran it through ChatGPT to try and match the lines spoken to their appropriate verses (feel free to point out any inaccuracies) Do you have faith that I can do this? - Yes, Lord. (Mt 9:28) My little daughter is extremely ill. Please, come. (Mark 5:23) Have mercy on me, Lord. Son of David. (Mt 15:22) Who are men saying the son of Man is? - Some say John the Baptist. Others, Elijah. You, though. Who do you say I am? - You are the Christ. The son of the living God. (Mt 16:13-16) Do not think I came to bring peace to the earth… - (you need to leave this place) …I came to bring, not peace, But a sword. (Mt 10:34) Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Whose father and mother we know. (John 6:42) I chose you, 12. Yet one of you is a slanderer. (John 6:70) Get behind me, Satan. (Mt. 16:23, Mr 8:33) What have I to do with you? Jesus! Son of the most high God! (Mr 5:7) Have no fear. Only exercise faith. (Mr 5:36)
  18. Next thing I will be working on is adding the option to add a tag to an existing tag so you can create branches of tags. For instance, if you have a tag for Jehovah's love, you can also have a tag for Jehovah's qualities added to it
  19. Yes, but people didn’t make a lifestyle out of it. We’d go to Taco Bell once in a great while, get 6 tacos for a dollar, and split them between 2 adults and 2 children. I think he did it because all the vegetation had been destroyed in the flood.
  20. Mobile formatting in full mode is now properly wrapping. Who knew long file names would mess up the entire flow... well lot's of experiences programmers I'm sure.. but I was clueless. So when you visit on your phone now The page should be much easier to navigate. I'm also considering making the simple mode the homepage And the full featured version a tab away
  21. I preferred the older style of tag management with the drop down box but I only have 100 tags. It became apparent to me people with thousands of tag's exist and it crashed the site hard. So had to page it in blocks of 50 and renaming had to be typed. A compromise for now

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      I was just talking to a brother whose son is in video services in the US. They are reducing staff and even discussing downsizing Ramapo - because they are able to use AI for so much of the artwork and videos.
       
      He was telling me that what used to take weeks is now taking days and with only a few people instead of a large staff. More and more are getting sent back into the field. They are even able reduce the number of people needed for acting out scenes. That is a lot of donated funds saved and more workers for the field. It won't surprise me if we see an update soon describing all the ways the GB has approved for AI usage.
       
      I know they will always have humans to review, edit and approve the final product; but most of our pictures and videos will be at least partially if not fully AI generated.

      My dear, dear brother. You may be physically alone. But you are not alone. Of course you have Jehovah and his invisible family, all there. Then, us in our pitiful state, are here too. Loving you, and praying for you and you dear Cate. 
      Praying for you both dear ones. 
      The best is yet to come, and, yes, just around the corner. 
      In the meantime, Jehovah will see to the two of you. This I know.
      With much love, your sister, Bea
