As Tortuga said: the cheetah? But sounds like a trick question. Or a 'think-outside-the-box' question. 🧐 So, you mean for land-based critters, yes? 🤔

All things being equal ... I may have idea of the answer

It wins all the races because it's a cheetah..

The Fastest Animal? A Race Against Resistance Glimpses of Wonder We all know the answer, don’t we?

If I were a betting man, I’d say all of ‘em

Hard to react to this without breaking neutrality

And how many of these languages do we translate into?

Trump signs sweeping new global tariffs https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/tariffs-trump-news-04-02-25/index.html

Thursday, April 3 Trembling at men is a snare, but the one trusting in Jehovah will be protected.—Prov. 29:25. High Priest Jehoiada feared Jehovah. This was evident when Jezebel’s daughter, Athaliah, usurped the throne in Judah. She was ruthless and so greedy for power that she tried to murder the entire royal line—her own grandsons! (2 Chron. 22:10, 11) One of those children—Jehoash—survived because Jehoiada’s wife, Jehoshabeath, rescued him. She and her husband hid the child and took care of him. In this way Jehoiada and Jehoshabeath helped preserve the Davidic line of kings. Jehoiada was loyal to Jehovah and did not tremble in fear of Athaliah. When Jehoash was seven years old, Jehoiada again proved his loyalty to Jehovah. He formed a plan. If it succeeded, Jehoash would become king, David’s rightful heir. If the plan failed, however, Jehoiada would almost certainly lose his life. With Jehovah’s blessing, the plan succeeded. w23.06 17 ¶12-13

Moscow has described the latest US peace proposals as unacceptable to the Kremlin, highlighting the limited progress Donald Trump has made on his promise to end the war in Ukraine since taking office in January.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/01/russia-cannot-accept-us-peace-plan-ukraine-current-form

He certainly was a head banger! David made sure that Goliath was off his head! Goliath may have seen what was in the back of his mind too.

Not that it matters, and this is off-topic, but... To understand the difference between liberal and conservative, think about spreading butter or spending money. If a person puts tons of butter on their bread or toast or whatever, they are described as applying the butter liberally. On the other hand, if they are very careful and barely use any butter, they are being conservative with it. They are conserving their butter. Same with money. A person who spends money like it is no object is liberally spreading their money. Someone that scrimps and saves and never spends a dime is conservative with their money. A politically liberal person wants to spread government agencies and support all over as far and as wide as they can go and wants as many people as possible to qualify for those benefits no matter the cost. A politically conservative person wants to limit those resources as much as possible and believes they should be spread only on what is absolutely needed. People who need assistance should turn to organizations and agencies other than government in order to find aid. It's helpful to know what conservatives and liberals care about in a general sense as this helps us present Bible truths that appeal to them. A liberal will favor health care for all. Jehovah's Kingdom is the only government that can perfectly provide that universal heathcare for everyone. A conservative hates government waste. Jehovah's Kingdom is the only government that will eliminate government waste and overspending. Ironically, however, liberals give lip service to environmental causes (conservation) whereas conservatives favor exploiting resources. Another irony is liberals are pro-abortion but against the death penalty while conservatives want to ban abortion but favor the death penalty. Now back to the show

I was receiving the same error & grey page in the 'Schedules' view. That's when I deleted the meeting change in NWS, then recreated it. According to the 'What's New' note in the app store, it should say 'Memorial' under the correct date of April 12th. 'Schedules' view still displaying April 13th however, with no mention of the event name under it.

I have the latest versions just like you have and my home page looks like yours, but my Schedules page does have the entry: Saturday April 12, 2025 Memorial However when clicking the writing or the blue right arrow, than just a dark grey page displays and when clicking the back arrow on the bottom of my Samsung Android phone the following error message displays: Error Occurred: Null check operator used on a null value. Not a big deal as the home page display for the memorial works fine. Mind you though I updated an April 2 version from the play store.

I asked AI some questions: [emoji3591] How many languages have written form? Out of the approximately 7,100 languages spoken today, only about 4,000 have a written form. The rest are purely oral, with no standardized writing system. Many indigenous and minority languages rely entirely on oral tradition, while others have only recently developed writing systems through linguistic documentation efforts. Some languages once had writing systems but lost them over time. [emoji3591] If I wanted to translate a book so 99% of human population can read it in their native language, how many languages should it be translated into? To ensure that a book is accessible to 99% of the world’s population in their native language, translations would need to cover approximately 30 to 40 languages. This estimate is based on the cumulative percentage of native speakers for the most widely spoken languages. Here is a list of languages that, when combined, would cover approximately 99% of the global population: 1. Mandarin Chinese  2. Spanish 3. English  4. Arabic 5. Hindi 6. Bengali 7. Portuguese  8. Russian 9. Japanese 10. Western Punjabi  11. Javanese  12. German 13. Korean 14. French 15. Telugu 16. Marathi 17. Turkish 18. Tamil 19. Vietnamese 20. Italian 21. Urdu 22. Gujarati 23. Polish 24. Ukrainian 25. Persian (Farsi) 26. Malayalam 27. Kannada 28. Oriya (Odia) 29. Maithili 30. Thai 31. Burmese  32. Tagalog (Filipino) 33. Yue Chinese (Cantonese) 34. Swahili 35. Romanian  36. Dutch 37. Hausa 38. Pashto 39. Amharic 40. Yoruba Translating your book into these languages would make it accessible to the vast majority of people worldwide in their native tongues.

NASA Webb Explores Effect of Strong Magnetic Fields on Star Formation April 02, 2025 10:00AM Release ID: 2025-115 Summary Two new research studies explore how a stellar nursery in the heart of the Milky Way is affected by the region’s strong magnetic fields. Despite decades of study, the process of star formation still holds many mysteries. Stars are the source of nearly all the universe’s chemical elements, including carbon and oxygen, so understanding why and how they form — or not — is a crucial initial step in understanding how the universe works and the origins of just about everything, including life on Earth. At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy is the star-forming region Sagittarius C, which despite a wealth of raw material does not make as many stars as astronomers would expect. Two new studies have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to investigate star formation in this extreme environment that is relatively near the supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way, at 200 light-years distance. Full Article: https://webbtelescope.org/contents/news-releases/2025/news-2025-115.html Pic Description: Labeling, compass arrows, and scale bars provide context for these MeerKAT and James Webb Space Telescope images. The star-forming region Sagittarius C, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, is about 200 light-years from the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*. Huge vertical filamentary structures in the MeerKAT radio data echo those Webb captured on a smaller scale, in infrared, in a blue-green hydrogen cloud. Astronomers think the strong magnetic fields in the heart of the galaxy are shaping the filaments.

NWS build update was released earlier today (Build #1398), as well as NWP version 3.7.10 #301. Noticed a couple of things. When trying to open the Memorial in the NWP 'Schedules' view, it produced an error message (white screen). Went into NWS, removed the 'Meeting Change' for the Memorial, recreated the same event ('Meeting Change') & now the error in NWP has gone away. Can now see speaker info, etc. In NWS, the 'Meeting Change' congregation event did change the date of the Memorial in the scheduled local public talks section. It also shows the correct date under the congregation event section of NWP, but it did not however change the date for us in the 'Schedules' view section of NWP and did not populate the congregation event 'Memorial' under the date of the Memorial (see attachments). Perhaps I'm doing this wrong?

I've pretty much come to that conclusion as well. Just thinking about it for a few minutes makes me feel violated (a little bit.) My brain needs a good wash when that happens.

So, as I understand it, an admin user can only register in the app if they receive an invitation. Is that correct?

Hi, Anna, have you checked out the Hourglass APP at : https://static.hourglass-app.com/legacy/docs/en/intro.html ?

Minimum wage in USA is between $7 - $15 depending on State. Minimum wage in Australia is $24.10 AUD In both cases those who are on lowest wages struggle with basic living. Economic pressure is sign of mismanagement of Satan who simply does not care about people. The good news is that Satan is already "fired" and Jehovah soon will remove him permanently. And even better news... Satan can not "reapply" for the job. He has really bad job experience.

Those are some good songs! My favorites are “The Girl is Mines”, and “Ebony and Ivory.” And I guess you know why; Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. Maybe not with the whole group of the Beatles, those songs were with Paul McCartney, but when you think of him you gotta think of The Beatles! I also like: Foreigner - Cold as Ice Journey - Who’s Crying Now The Cars - Drive Daryl Hall and John Oates - I Can’t Go for that. It all reminds me of fast cars 🏎️💨guitars🎸drums🥁and whiskey🥃
