You posted that 5 hrs ago and still no photos??? How dare you!!! 😆🤪

I WANT FULL REPORT OF EVERY SQUARE CENTIMETERS !

Steve, this is so beautiful. I love so many lines here and felt very moved, especially by these sections: Words that echoed in my mind Like leaves falling from a frosted tree The voice grew in the darkness And with it there was a wisp of light - I hesitated Because I belong here I should stay in the darkness I do not deserve to live Or to be loved “Take my hand” I'm so glad you reached out, and Jehovah caught your hand. My eyes are brimming.

Good news! It was announced today, that photos can now be taken in the "RVT areas" at the Australasia Branch. So we might start seeing some shots from the backlot and actual props come through. (Previously, we were instructed to put the cameras away at these locations.) 📸 Now I'll have to go again. Then I can get some photos of where I have been. So far, I was only allowed to collect memories! Lol

There will be a significant update to the add-on soon.

The intro of the apostles felt like the intro to a heist movie.

20 trillion years later after i searched all the galaxies id be interested.

She had an ill mother then she was cured by Jesus Aparently she couldn’t keep her mouth shut and soon lots of ill people came to Jesus to be cured 😵‍💫😅

Different existance. Doubt we could relate properly.

Wednesday, May 13 This man offered one sacrifice for sins for all time.—Heb. 10:12. Jesus focused special attention on people who felt weighed down by sin and invited them to become his followers. He knew that sin was the root cause of mankind’s ills. So he reached out to men and women who were known to be sinners. Using an illustration, he explained: “Healthy people do not need a physician, but those who are ill do.” He added: “I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners.” (Matt. 9:12, 13) Jesus lived up to those words. He gently forgave the sins of the woman who washed his feet with her tears. (Luke 7:37-50) He taught vital truths to the Samaritan woman at the well, though he knew of her immoral lifestyle. (John 4:7, 17-19,25, 26) God even empowered Jesus to undo the end result of all sin—death. How? Jesus resurrected people—male and female, children and adults.—Matt. 11:5. w24.08 4 ¶9-10

That should be explained in the invitation to have a free download - that it is not really free since we have to exchange information to download. That said, I still don't see a place on the linked page to enter an email address or download the song(s). Thanks for the offer of a direct link - but that shouldn't that be available to all on this forum if you are offering a 'free download'? and shouldn't there be an obvious download button/option ... something like:

Hi John. I think you have to enter your email address first before it lets you download. If you don't want to do that, I can give you the direct download link if you want. Just let me know.

To resolve this problem with 4.0.11 you have to delete the entry in red in the error message that pops up. It warns you but press yes. Upon restarting the app all the entries for your Assignments, Duties, Reports and Upcoming are gone. Open settings then About and click on Refresh Data, ignore any warning. It will repopulate the app with your personal data.

Same here. Kinda unusual: 4.0.10 seemed like it worked fine. Now this... the constant instability is making this app pretty useless right now. MESSAGE TO DEVELOPERS: Here's an idea: once you get everything working again, how about DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING for another 6 months or so! Maybe we have enough advanced clever features... maybe we can just let everyone in the congregation learn to use what is there RIGHT NOW. If this prolonged error phase continues, some congregations will likely pull the plug - we would rather spend hours in the ministry than hours fighting this app!

An alternative app is starting to look nicer and nicer.... We can't keep having MAJOR hiccups with every MAJOR update.

I updated from 4.0.8 to the latest update for me on Android is 4.0.11 and I am not sure what is happening to the QC of releasing the NWP app. This has never happened before. Upon starting I get the message that there was an error in loading the app. It appeared that everything was successfully loaded except the local data. After a warning for deleting the local data I went through with it. The app now started but everything related to me, like assignments, duties, submitted FS reports and things coming up soon was no longer there. The error log was lengthy. To get the local data back I had to refresh the data under Settings/About and again with a warning. If this happens to other publishers in the congregation, we will be busy. Just my observation but this has never happened in the years we used NWS & NWP. The only explanation I have for this is that there is something rotten in the state of Quality Control before releasing updates.

I had to Google this, and you're right. The expansion of the universe is not direct proof, because most stars that will ever exist have already been formed. New stars can be formed in nebulae (molecular gas clouds) but it's because gravity is compressing the clouds. The expansion of the universe means that the space between galaxies is stretching, not that matter is being continuously created to form stars.

From what I could find: Specifically for the 2016 Mendez paper, they recovered around 120 kilobases of Y chromosome sequence from El Sidrón. The entire human Y chromosome is about 57 megabases, so they captured roughly 0.2% of it, which is definitely less than I would assume is ideal. They got that using exome capture... essentially baiting specific target sequences with synthetic probes to fish out fragments of interest from a soup of mostly degraded or contaminated material. Now, for the 2020 Petr paper they did better, achieving something closer to full Y chromosome coverage but the raw DNA in the sample is still extremely old and damaged, not to mention, fragmented. The "sequences" are reconstructed from millions of tiny overlapping reads, not pulled out as intact strands. And apologies for the use of AI next, but to your second question, I didn't want my personal bias (which is in agreement with you) to affect the analysis of the data. This is what plugging the studies and asking the question output: "The legitimate criticism buried in your question There is a real concern worth raising: when scientists say "we sequenced the Neandertal Y chromosome," what they mean is they reconstructed a statistical consensus sequence from millions of tiny, damaged, overlapping fragments, filtered for contamination, corrected for damage patterns, and assembled computationally. It is not like reading a book. It's more like reconstructing a shredded manuscript from confetti, after mice have eaten some of it. That doesn't make it wrong — the methods are rigorous and have been extensively validated — but the popular science framing ("scientists read Neandertal DNA!") does obscure how indirect and probabilistic the process is. The researchers themselves are usually careful about this in the methods sections, even when the headlines aren't."

Looks like it's playing near me as well. I may check this out next week.

Sunny and in the mid to high 60s today.

Lasagna, Sandwiches and Brownies...😁

Today I start the Minecraft diet...
