You're not copying the correct link. You're copying a link which is part of gmail. I assume that clicking on it will redirect you to the correct page, as you said you can view it, and from there you should be able to copy that page's URL from the website address bar. It is likely JW Stream, not Zoom. Edit: Please make sure not to post a link to or an image of the link to JW Stream on here or anywhere else. They are supposed to be private and not shared on social media.

This is incorrect, the answer to this metabolic illness has been known and treatable for hundreds of years. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rollo Educated doctors response to this disease of insulin resistance only changed when healthcare stopped being about building up health and nutrition or treating the root causes. When companies learned to create and profit from insulin and treat the symptoms while still allowing people to eat cake, healthcare became a business. Regarding the original post: I will also mention the books by ones such as Jason Fung and Robert Lustig. https://www.amazon.com/Diabetes-Code-Prevent-Reverse-Naturally/dp/1771642653/ https://www.amazon.com/stores/Robert-H.-Lustig/author/B00ABNHXOW If you catch T2D early enough by cutting out the external causes of insulin resistance (namely carbohydrates and processed foods), you can reverse it and even cure it before suffering too much permanent harm to remain functional. I define cure as no longer meeting any of the diagnostic criteria. If one continues to live in the same manner which led to a health disorder progressing into severe illness, then they are not addressing the root cause. No one can ignore that fact. Your body is telling you that something is wrong. If you are only treating the symptoms with medication and not lifestyle changes, the illness will continue to progress under the surface to the point of debilitation and death. I've seen friends who suffered horribly from this disease with amputation, blindness, pain and renal failure for several years until they died in their 60s because they refused to change. Now some in their family have made serious lifestyle changes to reverse it and are seeing the benefits. You do need to be reasonably cautious and have your doctor monitor how lifestyle changes affect your markers in order to safely titrate off of medication if you are reversing the disease. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102011083#h=7 "Go to the doctor. Some ailments call for professional medical attention. Early diagnosis usually results in a better outcome and less expense. So if you do not feel well, get help to find and eliminate the cause, instead of merely seeking to relieve the symptoms." But neither should you be afraid of doing so. Have a plan, stay informed, and take action to keep on top of it. Most importantly, never stop praying for the motivation to do so in order to thank Jehovah for the life that he has given you, to cherish it, and to use it to better serve him. (Romans 12:1) Therefore, I appeal to you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason.

I don't know. I've tried to help in every way that I can think of. It's much harder without being able to interact with or see the device. Here is what that model's manual says about captions: https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/PM/202201/20220112013544231/EB/SAM_X200_EN_FINAL_220105/hearing_enhancements_d1e8517.html#d1e8733 If you've already checked under Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Enhancements and confirmed that "Live transcribe" doesn't work, I would recommend reaching out to contact Samsung's support from that device model's support page and let them know that you can't access Live Captions. It may be that model doesn't support it, but that they don't explain it properly. I know it works on my A9+. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/mobile/tablets/galaxy-tab-a/galaxy-tab-a8/?modelCode=SM-X200NZAZXAR

Media Player for seniors
Myew replied to Tortuga's topic in Computers, Tablets, Mobile Devices, & Apps
I was looking similarly, but about the best I can find for a reasonable price is something similar to this styled off an old radio. They can play MP3s off a TF (SD) card. If you want a visual display, you typically need at least an MP3 CD player or some TV sound bars. https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Bluetooth-Adjustable-Rechargeable-Charging/dp/B0BRFYCZW5/ -
Media Player for seniors
Myew replied to Tortuga's topic in Computers, Tablets, Mobile Devices, & Apps
You can only simplify it so far. If a voice assistant or old mp3 player/phone or TV won't work, the next best thing I can think of is burning the MP3s to a CD-R/DVD-R and use an old MP3 capable CD/DVD player. Is there any type of media player that she does already know how to use? Edit: Today I learned that these exist, but I don't think I can recommend them... https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-Talking-Player-Version-Endorsed/dp/B0756P9VRS/ Sadly most of the other senior-based mp3 devices tend to be extremely marked up prices. https://www.amazon.com/Relish-Dementia-Alzheimers-Portable-Personalization/dp/B095XH6J35/ -

^ This thread is where you would ask if you're looking for help from users on the JWTalk forums with NWS. This website is the developers of the NWS program which has all of the official help tutorials and support: https://nwscheduler.com/support/ I'm not sure which one you are looking for or referring to, but I hope that helps. -
That is the newer model. It should definitely support Live Captions if it is upgraded to Android 14. Is it updated all the way? https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002027/

I'm just not understanding why your device wouldn't have Live Captions as a feature, as apparently it was added a few years ago. That is, provided you are referring to the Tab A8 10.5 2021 (https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_a8_10_5_(2021)-11265.php) and not the Tab A 8.0 2017 (https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_a_8_0_(2017)-8725.php)? I can access it on my Tab A9+ from the Volume rocker. You may be able to enable it within Chrome, but that doesn't appear to be an option on Android as it should be on the system level. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/10538231?hl=en https://www.howtogeek.com/719328/how-to-get-live-captions-for-any-video-or-audio-in-chrome/

I understand that the normal captions are not working in JW Stream on your tablet. I don't know why. What I was trying to understand is if you have Live Captions turned on or not, since those should work regardless. I assume the A8 should support Live Captions if you're on the latest update, but I can't find any definitive info on it. The screenshot you shared looks to be from the normal captions page. Live Captions are likely under Settings > Accessibility, as the link I shared explains. Or you might try using the search function.

Perhaps Live Captions haven't been turned on or set up in that devices settings yet? https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00092542/

JW Library for Windows Problems?
Myew replied to LoverOfJah1959's topic in Computers, Tablets, Mobile Devices, & Apps
It's not this. I am having the same issue with downloaded videos. They can be removed if you can find the file in the Library tab as noted. Thanks for that reminder. -
Being Healthy - while waiting for perfect health
Myew replied to Snufkin's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition & Medicine
@Snufkin Thank you for the feedback. I apologize for any hostility in my comments. I don't deny that I follow plenty of carnivore and ketogenic doctors that have a bias against vegans. I have had useful habits spoiled by negative infuences from people who spend all day arguing over what is fact and what x study / research shows. I certainly agree that many people have benefited from vegan diets, especially when they have switched from standard western diets with processed foods and refined carbohydrates. They do feel much better, sometimes for many years with no notices or indications if they were already fairly healthy. Some issues, if one is older, are just attributed to 'old age'. However, I have also noted that many times, it shows up in subsequent generations, as pregnancy has the highest nutritional requirements of anything a human can do. I have never heard of any recorded traditional culture post-flood that was strictly vegan, likely because it was not sustainable. Pregnant women were always given the fattiest animal dishes for the health of the mother and the baby. Especially among the younger generations or subsequent generations of vegans, they appear to be much more quickly susceptible to nutritional deficiencies from meatless diets. In my case, I saw my sister's autoimmunity and Multiple Sclerosis advanced rapidly and severely after she switched to a vegan diet to the point in her late teens that her brain didn't have the raw materials like cholesterol and ketones needed to repair the holes in her myelin sheaths, and she lost all brain functioning within years. She was going to die, but my brother in law was able to keep her alive and take care of her bedridden for the following 10 years as he put her on a ketogenic diet which greatly improved her health, and she even regained a very small amount of memory and ability to reply one word answers to very simple questions again for a short time before she caught an illness and died. I have also seen ones who had to stop being vegan after several years due to those nutritional deficiencies symptoms, but reversing all of those symptoms after switching to meat based, even carnivore diets. There is a very balanced video published recently from a mental health professional discussing with doctors the recent research showing a ketogenic metabolic therapy diet completely reversing several severe mental health disorders. I used to suffer severely from many of these illnesses myself when I was eating a low meat low fat high carb western diet. I only began learning about all of this when I learned about how my sister improved and was reversing some of her autoimmune/physical illnesses despite being brain dead. Many have found animal based ketogenic diets to make them feel the best. I used to have a fairly omnivoric ketogenic diet where I ate a great deal of plants and plant/animal fats and meat, but still had plenty of gut issues. I found things improved somewhat after I got rib of all fermentable carbs and fiber. This is something that I am struggling to comprehend, as I haven't read anything to indicate this. Plenty of researchers love to compare humans to apes, and when comparing the guts, humans have much higher acidicity levels in our stomachs. Our pH can go as low as 1, which is common among carnivores and predators, whereas most herbivores are in the range of 3-7. Also, our small intestines are much longer and our colons are much shorter. Most monkeys and apes have longer colons because they get much more of their nutrition from grazing, fermenting and passing gas all day. Our stomachs can quickly and efficiently break down protein and fats into usable nutrition, and our body contains and releases specific enzymes from the pancreas to break down protein and fat which are not found in other herbivores. So I don't understand statements such as this. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Stomach-pH-as-a-function-of-animal-species-A-pH-of-7-is-neutral-Data-for-chimpanzees_fig1_339359018 -
Being Healthy - while waiting for perfect health
Myew replied to Snufkin's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition & Medicine
Thank you for the counsel and reminders. I have been pondering on why this topic makes me defensive and irritated, feeling the need to debate things like nutrition. I think it's because #1 I've suffered physically and mentally because of diet that I had no control over, #2 I've suffered persecution because of my choices in diet, and #3 similar to how Paul addressed the Romans who were stumbled because of the relationship between meat and idolatry who judged those who ate, I feel stumbled because of the origins of not eating meat post flood being related to spritism and subsequently judge those who don't eat. I'm sorry. I should just keep my head down, shut up and mind my own business. I've said enough and I can only carry my own load of responsibility.

How I Found the Truth

How I found the Truth
I was raised by Witness parents, knowing the Bible and loved Jehovah as an infant. However, I did not have strong active spiritual role models or goals, and had plenty of mental disorders. I developed several debilitating chronic illnesses starting around puberty, and felt stumbled due to fragrances causing me such pain. I didn't make any more spiritual progress and stopped attending meetings, but I continued to listen over the phone for about 15 years. My faith and spiritual habits steadily declined as I sank deeper into isolation and depression. (Pr 18:1) I lived a virtual life, addicted to the computer and internet for literal days at a time, and eventually hit rock bottom. I was in chronic fatigue, pain, sleep deprivation and suffered some brain damage, having no reason to live and always wishing for death. I came to realize one day, probably thanks to a witness online who sent me a talk, that I would never be happy focusing on myself. Jehovah never caused my suffering, he was still providing for my needs despite my selfish lifestyle, and he wanted to help me to come to serve him. However, I had to be willing to make changes, to show Jehovah that I wanted to come to know him better, to serve him and to trust him. I started a new routine of Bible reading and prayer, and started learning how to eat better so that I could perhaps reverse my disorders. However, I was still trapped in many addictive habits. In time, I was desperately praying for spiritual friends to replace my bad association. Jehovah sent a new Elder in the congregation to me, a former missionary and regular pioneer, probably the most zealous minister that I have ever met. Jehovah was also training him to learn patience as he spent years taking the time to write and talk with me, encouraging me and helping me to start studying again, becoming my closest friend. I started taking my health very seriously, viewing my diet and lifestyle as a way of giving my best to Jehovah, in order to become physically strong enough to worship him. Eventually, I became well enough that I was able to endure attending meetings, later followed by becoming a publisher thanks to letter writing, later still able to do a little door to door work and participate in meetings, and finally progressing to baptism after a total of some 6 years it took me to 'Return to Jehovah'. Jehovah has guided and supported me each step of the way, as long as I fully commit myself to relying on him and doing his will.

I'm especially partial to stories that reflect the dichotomy between tragedy and hope - Ruth is my favorite book in the scriptures. I really appreciate the renaissance of 'New World' novels. My favorite writings tend to be campy, humorous, satirical. I love comics and grew up with the best in Calvin & Hobbes. I don't often read physical books anymore aside from the Bible, I prefer audiobooks or digital.
