      Use Start full screen - OFF. it was ON before and I did not like it at all.

      Now I have additional column next to the icons with actual words. Nice.

      Windows 10 grows on me as we speak ..its not bad... :)

      Thank you.  I have dragged the other laptop out of the cupboard and had a play around last night.  It is a Samsung Notebook that belonged to my daughter and is actually almost new although 6 years old.  She had it about 10 months and it was on the floor next to her bed and she trod on it and broke the screen. She used an external screen with it for a while but she ended up buying herslf a cheapie as I refused to buy her another one. I have decided to get the screen fixed and have already put WT Library on it so I can use it for study and also for doing my genealogy on. This old Vaio of mine is more like a PC as it never leaves my desk. The little Notebook will be perfect for using in different rooms and will help me get used to Win 10. :) 

  2. In just few hours I am delivering my first Public Talk please pray for me!

  7. Googolplex is a huge number !writing a googolplex in standard form (i.e., "10,000,000,000...") would be physically impossible, since doing so would require more space than is available in the known universe.And one day we will live longer than googolplex number ! What a prospect !

      Googolplex is considered the second largest number with a name, exceeded only by googolplexian. Carlos, thanks for reminding us that USA names of place-value-numbers is different from other English speaking countries. I have taught this before. Numbers with names could have been an entire topic.

      The Volcano National Park is on the Big Island so you would need to fly to get there. The Big Island dry side is the Kona side, the lush tropical side is the Hilo side. The Volcano park is on the south end of the Hilo side. There are airports in Kona and Hilo. The volcano park is very interesting , if you get there early, take a pack, water, flashlights, boots and you can walk a trail to active lava. He have not done the trail yet. If you like coffee, visit the coffee plantations south of Kona.

    3. Tortuga

      If you go to the Big Island. Go to Akaka Falls on the north end of the island. Akaka Falls was in the Wonders of Creation video when the father took his son to a water fall.

      Choco, the information came from FDS channel during elders meeting thefore it's not my personal opinion. Simply I wanted to share important fact.  Do you have problem with FDS View on the matter? Do we have to hide the facts ? Why Christian would do that? If we hear direction from FDS through CO perhaps we should adjust OUR viewpoint? Well at least Jesus  excpects that. Personally I don't read beard thread  due to lack of interest . 

       

    3. ChocoBro

      ChocoBro

      We actually had a Watchtower on the issue recently enough. I don't believe the information important at all. But it seems to be important to you, so go ahead and judge me because I have a beard and will keep it. But I do not consider people that do that to be loving brothers at all.

    4. New World Explorer

      New World Explorer

      Well CO has reffered to this watchtower as well if you want details I will PM you.

      Choco I DO NOT judge you dear brother.. !

      Your decisions are your decisions and I don't have authority to judge you.

      When I get sick, I fight evil with evil, and will not turn other cheek. I may eat 6-10 garlic gloves per day, drink honey, and little vodka or whiskey if throat is hurting, just to ease pain. Plus some vitamin C. Every virus is fleeing me. I'm no safe place to live in anymore :lol:

      I checked your settings. Try to check out your followed content.  Perhaps uncheck the options to receive notifications.  It looks like you still have some options checked positive that you want notifications.  

      Carlos is better at this than I am.  He might have a solution

      Wow that is a change. But what about the Teach Us books!? Are they no longer on the carts?

    4. New World Explorer

      New World Explorer

      The dust is still settling down, and to be honest I am not sure if the Teach book will be featured. But Even if it is, it’s going to be set up light, and just Teach book on the Cart (15 copies) 

      We were told that a lot of literature is being overstocked on the Cart and being exposed to weather gets wasted. All is being very surgically streamlined. Very Spartan approach introduced. 

      We no longer feature variety of literature on one particular Cart. 

      The Cart will contain only one type of literature with limited copies. 

  17.  From 6pm tonight, Victoria will be declared a state of disaster and stage four restrictions will also be imposed.

      I just saw the comprehensive lockdown list from Victoria.  Some notables:

      8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. curfew

      No visiting family or friends

      1 hour limit to outdoor exercise daily

      Mandatory stay of 5km radius from home

      Work from home or without a job for 6 weeks

      1 million workers sent home under stringent new lockdowns

      Local police will be out to enforce the law. 

       

      Imo, I get the feeling that these laws/policies will spread further into many other regions in the world.

      My business (essential services) is exempt from restrictions , but I will be operating at 60% capacity, I have to close 40% of other arm of my business.

      Please stay safe, all you Victorian brothers and sisters.  Really praying hard for you all to endure this second wave and restrictions that come with it.  We know it's going to be tough.  But Jehovah knows how to help when times are tough 💓

       Minirth and Meier, two psychiatrists, give us a picture of the workaholic’s true nature and its results:

      “… the selfishness of the perfectionist (workaholic) is much more subtle. While he is out in society saving humanity at a work pace of eighty to a hundred hours a week, he is selfishly ignoring his wife and children. He is burying his emotions and working like a computerized robot. He helps mankind partially out of love and compassion, but mostly as an unconscious compensation for his insecurity, and as a means of fulfilling both his strong need for society’s approval and his driving urge to be perfect. He is self-critical and deep within himself feels inferior. He feels like a nobody, and spends the bulk of his life working at a frantic pace to prove to himself that he is really not (as he suspects deep within) a nobody. In his own eyes, and in the eyes of society, he is the epitome of human dedication. … He becomes angry when his wife and children place demands on him. He can’t understand how they could have the nerve to call such an unselfish, dedicated servant a selfish husband and father. … In reality, his wife and children are correct, and they are suffering severely because of his subtle selfishness.
