Galactic Gems Glisten New Gallery From NASA’s Chandra By Megan Watzke 25 Aug 2026 Galaxies are like cosmic gems, each with characteristics including size and shape that make them distinct. A new gallery released today from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes displays a collection of galactic images that showcase this variety. Astronomers put galaxies into three main categories: spirals like our own Milky Way with arms emanating from their cores, ellipticals that are older and likely the results of mergers, and irregulars that can encompass a wide range of galactic phenomena. Note: There are 16 new images in this galactic gallery. Each one contains X-ray data from Chandra that has been collected across Chandra’s decades in space. This high-energy data has been combined with data from telescopes such as NASA’s James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes, IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer), Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array), and others both on the ground and in space.

I liked her movies "Steel Magnolias" 9 to 5 and countless others! And I liked her songs as well. One could just feel that she was truly a sweet person, who truly cared about others!

Made me so sad! I met her in person once, she was recording her "Halo and Horns" Album at the recording studio my son-in-law owned. She came out of the recording booth and spoke to my Sis and Mom and me for awhile. She was so sweet, my daughter made her special kind of cookies to give her. We shared some of her last batch, she said she took them home and put them in the freezer to enjoy with her hubby. She was such a good person, hopefully Jehovah will remember her in the resurrection, along with my daughter and her husband, both are now deceased.

It is sad that some of old timers do not stop performing, like Rod Stewart, Barry Mellow, Lionel Richie and others. They in their 70’s and 80’s and performing has to be killing them.

Who knows, maybe we will see her in the New System where she can get a whole new 'cup of ambition'

The Craig Nettles error card 1981 fleer, is 250bucks on bay. I may have one upstairs.

One thing to remember about baking ... it is more of a science than "cooking". Measurements matter with baking more than they do with plain cooking. Bread can be simple and forgiving but can also be quite challenging when trying to get certain textures and results. I have been baking bread as well as many other foods for way longer than you are old. For a fairly simple bread to make - here is a video - keep in mind, though fairly simple, the measurements and steps are critical to get good results. I don't know that this will work in a microwave oven, though How Microwave Bread Works Cooking time: Takes about 3 to 6 minutes on high power instead of 30+ minutes. No crust: Microwaves do not get hot enough to brown the outside or create a hard crust. Texture: The bread turns out soft, spongy, and similar to a steamed bun. Limitation: Standard microwaves cannot bake traditional yeast-raised loaves well unless they have a special convection mode

I agree fully with @More4me2do. Once you add all the addresses to a territory, the concept of "blocks" becomes useless. If the territory is unworked, you can assign one or more groups with instructions like: "Work all the blue houses on Adams Avenue". If partially worked already, the instruction might change to "work all the orange houses (ie, NH once) on Adams Avenue. Since houses will be marked in real time, the group overseer as well as each car group can immediately see the progress on each street in territory.

When I married my dh before coming into the truth, I realized we had little in common,but he was a collector of comics,sports cards,coins, etc, So I spent time trying to support his hobbies. In 1981, Donruss joined Fleer and Topps, producing Baseball cards. Those early packs included a puzzle piece and a piece of gum. Len and I studied Beckett magazine to check on collectible cards and search for errors like Craig (Greg?)Nettles. We still had lots of gum and cards after our sons were born and I sent 100 pieces of BBC gum to school on their hundredth day. A fave piece may have been a comic book, mint Hulk #1 (Hulk was brown) which got damaged. Len died in 2022 and the remains of his collectibles are upstairs. One son is up there, waiting to move, and I can't make the stairs right now due to injury (starting pt for that.) I have a box of sports cards ready to mail my sister's family.

Thinking about the silence: As a writer and a word nerd, sometimes words just fail me, and I have to pray to Jehovah to understand that which seems incomprehensible. Glad you are still trying. And best wishes to all who are offering wordless prayers.

CLM Explorer is still fine for our congregation.

we use hourglass. fully European privacy compliant (although that's not an issue for us)

Both do basically the same thing. I have used both extensively as well as wintm, khs and a home grown system. Hourglass + Mobile / Browser first: runs on all platforms + Updates have never caused me any issues + Solid data replication + Not commercial + Friendly support . Somewhat clunky interface (but getting better) - less features (but growing) NWS - Windows. They have been advertising a mac / mobile version, but ...well ... - Updates frequently cause some form of headache for everyone - Fragile data replication - Commercial - Condescending, sometimes rude support . Dated C# wpf interface has its quirks + More features, more reports There's a lot of difference in the underlying technology and security. That can drive a real discussion (or argument).

Have you fully digitized your territories so that the publishers can change the status of each individual home / residence? After doing this to our territories the number of residences per territory is between 100 and 300. Because we can see in real time where publishers work, boundaries become immaterial as we can see where they are by the change of the status of any given home. Our FSGOs just give publishers the territory number as they appear in the NWP app and street or area in the territory. The software does the rest. Our choice of status change for homes are 1. At Home 2. Not at Home 3. Do Not Call 4. No Trespassing 5. Vacant 6. No Soliciting My guess would be that this feature will not be of benefit to those of us who have fully digitized their territories and therefore the developers most likely will not implement it.

Yes, please add me 😃 I'll send you a pm. Busy right now, but will get to it 👍

Hi @Nnaemeka, Could you elaborate, please? Do you mean a daily reminder to read the Bible? I think that's outside of the scope of this web app. It runs in a very limited context, with no access to system timers/notifications.

When you right-click, you should have a menu for con[VER]sum: Or you may have this:

Hi Eryk, I was able to download conVERsum, thanks. However, I am not sure how this plugin works? I read the description that Bible references are turned into a unified concordance and indexes/links scriptures across my notes. But how? When I press on a scripture in my Obsidian notes, only "traVERture" appears showing the scripture. But where is the "concordance" or "links" to other scriptures for conVERsum? Sorry I am not understanding. But I appreciate your help, thanks

Our committee would like to use the new Auxiliary Pioneer feature in NW Publisher except it doesn't appear to make it easy for the committee to process straightforward application i.e. the publisher has met the criteria for the privilege. Currently we use the official pdf forms and these are uploaded to a central folder and each committee member has access to initial the application if there are no objections. Any unsigned applications are discussed before any further action is taken. If all three have signed off the pdf application then secretary then marks the publisher in NW Scheduler as an Auxiliary Pioneer. A suggestion to improve of what has been implemented so far in NW Scheduler would be to create a new task for the secretary to mark the Publisher as an Auxiliary Pioneer when all 3 members have ticked the their task.
