![]() ![]() What I remember about those years was the constant sorting out of roles and functions as we tried to deal with whatever needs we were identifying in the community. In the 1970s, when I was first hired as a staff member in a city parish, there were fewer priests staffing parishes, while a growing number of people, mostly women religious and lay persons, began to serve on parish staffs. ![]() But it was the priests, often a pastor and several assistants, who were primarily responsible for the pastoral, liturgical and sacramental welfare of the parish. Parishioners were involved in organizations - scouts, sodalities, societies, service groups, sports programs, and committees that planned festivals and fund raisers. When I was growing up in the 1950s and 60s in a large suburban parish, the ordained guided most of the core activities and programs offered by the parish. The critical question for us is how do today's pastors and parish staffs and the committees and teams that work with them bring this same encounter with the risen Christ and the promised Spirit into the practical realm of running a parish, developing programs, planning events and being a pastoral presence to the community? Their encounter with the risen Christ and his instructions to them inspired remarkable stories, and each successive generation has extended the life of the church. After a series of appearances to instruct and encourage them, Jesus promises that his own Spirit will enter their hearts and empower them to go out to the whole world making other disciples. He appears inside the locked room, stands before his astonished disciples and calms their terror with the offer of peace. Even Jesus himself, now risen from the dead, is apparently not admitted through the door. We imagine peering out a peephole to see who is knocking at the door, or we ask for a secret password. We can hear the bolts and double locks sliding into place. The Lectionary readings tell the dramatic story of our church - how the early disciples locked themselves in an upper room out of fear of arrest and persecution. But like the children's finger game, the disciples would have known those marvelous, wonderful, wiggling appendages with a life of their own, as the community of people they were called to serve. The first Apostles, accustomed to meeting underground or in homes, might not recognize the steeples and doors of today's church structures. Acts provides the earliest description of a community of believers, a prototype of today's parish community. Here are accounts of disciples living out the incredible and disturbing experience of Pentecost. What amazing stories we find in the Acts of the Apostles. The numbers of men and women who came to believe in the Lord increased steadily. The believers were united in heart and soul. They called a full meeting of disciples and asked the assembly for approval. They shared their food generously and gladly. They shared according to what each one needed. They lived together and owned everything in common. They urged repentance and the forgiveness of sins. Boldly they proclaimed the mighty acts of God. ![]()

Both modes are designed to give you a little bit of an option in gameplay while still giving you the BD experience. But *top secret* is actually a better one.Pearl Abyss revealed today that Black Desert Mobile just got two new game modes with Path Of Glory and Field Of Valor. Me: All publishers are bad according to the community *Brian laughs*. Which publisher is the best from the community? Me: When is Closed Beta 3 and what new features can we expect?īrian: Closed Beta 3 will happen around late August or early September, and the item dye system will be added.īrian: Yes, we do plan to restrict IP base on region.īrian: We are definitely interested, and will look forward going over. (cinderboy note: I was informed that Brian was actually over at a Big 5 publisher in the morning) We might get other companies to do part of the translations, but overall we are controlling the core translation.īrian: *Smiles* We are speaking to several companies, and there is no confirmation yet. Me: How about translation? Is Black Desert being translated now internally?īrian: We have a partially translated version for Chinese, and we are translating the game into English internally. Me: Since Daum still neeeds time to set up a team, is there a concern that Black Desert will be pushed further backwards for a western launch?īrian: Working with Daum, I know that they make decisions and work fast, hence there is no worry at the moment. Me: Will there be any possible delays, given that Daum Communications is not an established company in the western market?īrian: I am not sure what Daum will do, since I do not question their operations, but I do understand that Daum is looking to set up a new games business team and hiring veterans from the western region to operate the new games platform.ĭaum recently merged with Kakao, Korea’s biggest mobile gaming platform as well (cinderboy note: I guess Brian is hinting that Daum has all the products to make sure the Western platform launches smoothly) ![]() Could you tell me more about the deal?īrian: I understand the shock of the community, but after much evaluation, we felt that the deal with Daum Communications is right, given how much support they have given us since the Korean deal was signed. Me: Obviously the gaming community is in shock at the announcement of Korean giant Daum Communications being the publisher of Black Desert for North America and Europe. I posted a few quick questions to Mr Brian Oh, Director of Overseas Business, to find out more. As I reached the venue for ChinaJoy 2014, my first target was head right to the booth of Korean developer Pearl Abyss, whose upcoming free-to-play game Black Desert is making waves around the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In an older post ( here) someone was mentioning that ther is a tool that is able to automatically scan for RTF files with wrong DOC extension and rename them. Krename is a very powerful batch file renamer for KDE3 and KDE4 which can rename a list of files based on a set of expressions. The same applies with the doc-to-docx plugin in calibre. ![]() Very easy to use and quite powerful in which you can save templates that you created to reuse them. the source code is available) program that makes easier the renaming of lots of files and folders by using. it uses a text field in which you define how the new filename should look like with placeholders or positions in the 'old' filename. The problem is that in some circumstances such as with programs that use Microsoft's wordconv.exe utility (included with the "Office Compatibility Pack") to batch convert doc files to docx, the RTF files won't be converted and lead to errors/software freezeing depending on the software. RenameTool can rename MANY files/folders at once unlike default programs by OS. Tools & More - Joe: This is just your standard Batch renaming program. Normally, if DOC files are associated in windows with a viewer that also supports RTF (most of them do) one wouldn't even't notice that the DOC file is not a doc file, but a RTF. If I open this kind of file in a plain text editor such as Notepad++ i can see the RTF syntax, so they are really RTF files. I have a number of *.doc files but some of them are not really Word documents, but actually are RTF files with a wrong. ![]() ![]() Place your index and thumb into the slight indentations below the collar bone on each side of the sternum.Put one hand so that there is as wide a space as possible between the thumb and index finger.Here are a few examples of the PACE movements: Brain Buttons ![]() Before beginning their exercises students are advised to drink lots of water to keep hydrated before and during class since the brain consists of 90% water. Many educators use Brain Gym activities (PACE: Positive, Active, Clear, Energetic) as warm-up exercises for reading, writing and mathematics because it was found that overall concentration in the classroom improved. Moving the whole body in the shape of a lazy eight leads to increasing focus and attention, spatial awareness, lateralization and bilateral integration of eyes, ears and limbs. ![]() The movement consists of tracing a lateral eight over and over, sweeping across the lateral midline of the body again and again, which activates both the right and left hemispheres of the brain encouraging them to process together. Lazy eights have been recognized and used for years by occupational therapists, developmental optometrists and various practitioners as a very valuable tool for learning disabilities. One of the most important Brain Gym movements that integrate both hemispheres in the brain is the “lazy eight” or the “infinity” sign. When all parts of the brain communicate together, then “laterality”, “focusing” and “centering” take place. To create brain coordination, the Dennisons put forth the idea of coordinating the right and left hemispheres of the brain along with the front and back and top and bottom. Learning is not an isolated aspect of just brain functioning, but rather an integral part of every nerve and every cell connection to our bodies. When the brain has energy, the learning process improves. These movements are based on the fundamental idea that simple exercises help increase blood flow to the brain which provides oxygen and keeps the brain more alert. They designed 26 Brain Gym activities in a series of exercises that improve academic performance. 2.Brain Gym or Educational Kinesiology (Edu-K) was developed in the 1980s by educators Paul Dennison PhD and Gail Dennison who recognized the concept of “brain-body” integration.

Some babies are super strong and are able to break free. However, we understand that this is not always the reality. It is our goal that with a correct swaddle technique – with your baby’s arms flush against their sides so they have no room to wiggle about – that the swaddle will keep your baby completely contained. ![]() If your baby is breaking out of the swaddle, a different course of action needs to be taken. Even if you find that your baby is fighting the swaddle while you are putting it on (which bigger babies PROBABLY will) they may still be benefiting from the swaddle during sleep because it is preventing the startle reflex – so stick with it. Your baby is probably not used to being so confined, and has accepted the challenge to break out like a baby Houdini! However, with consistent use, your baby will begin to get used to the sensation of being wrapped like a burrito, and recognize it as a signal to fall asleep. This is completely normal so do not panic. Of course, we understand that not all Zen Swaddle users are able to swaddle from birth, so if you’re trying the swaddle for the first time with your baby a bit later, read on! The later you start using the swaddle, the more your baby will fight it. #2 Starting the swaddle later in the game Newborns are used to the warm and cozy environment of their mother’s womb, and the swaddle is the closest replication of this feeling! While swaddling a newborn or smaller baby, you will most likely be able to fit their legs in the small inner pouch of the swaddle, which will help keep their tiny body in place! Once they get a bit bigger, you can simply rest their legs on top of the pouch and swaddle this way. Introducing swaddling this early on will make it so much easier for your baby to adjust to the swaddle and accept it as part of their sleep routine. We recommend starting the swaddle as soon as possible, even right after birth (if your baby meets the minimum weight requirement of 7 lbs). If, after a week or so, you are not seeing any improvements in your little one’s sleep, we are here to help! Below is a guide to the Zen Swaddle, with suggestions for parents at various points of swaddle use! #1 Introduce the Zen Swaddle early on The Zen Swaddle sounds like a miracle product in theory, but of course there are some babies who do not see its benefits right away! If you are finding that your baby does not like the swaddle, or is not sleeping any better while being swaddled, try to be patient! It can take up to a week for babies to adjust to a new sleeping environment, especially if they are used to co-sleeping or sleeping in your arms. ![]() These pads provide soothing qualities and security to a sleeping baby. One main benefit of the swaddling technique is that it reduces the startle (Moro) reflex which can cause your baby to frequently wake themselves up! There are many benefits of swaddling, but our Zen Swaddle has the added benefit of mimicking human touch and the feeling of being held with three gently weighted pads that rest on your baby’s chest and sides. When used correctly, and introduced at an early age, the Zen Swaddle can be an EXCELLENT tool for helping your baby sleep longer and fall asleep quicker. The first few nights with the Zen Swaddle can be an adjustment – for you and your little one! Some babies take to the swaddle right away, and love being wrapped up and confined, while others fight the swaddle and even break free. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to user-defined variables, Azure Pipelines has system variables with predefined values. You can use templates to define variables that are used in multiple pipelines in one file. You can use a variable group to make variables available across multiple pipelines. There are naming restrictions for variables (example: you can't use secret at the start of a variable name). User-defined variables can be set as read-only. When you set a variable in the UI, that variable can be encrypted and set as secret. You can also specify variables outside of a YAML pipeline in the UI. In YAML pipelines, you can set variables at the root, stage, and job level. ![]() When you define a variable, you can use different syntaxes (macro, template expression, or runtime) and what syntax you use will determine where in the pipeline your variable will render. Variables are different from runtime parameters, which are typed and available during template parsing. You can use variables with expressions to conditionally assign values and further customize pipelines. A variable set in the pipeline root level will override a variable set in the Pipeline settings UI. A variable defined at the stage level will override a variable set at the pipeline root level. So, a variable defined at the job level can override a variable set at the stage level. When you define the same variable in multiple places with the same name, the most locally scoped variable wins. The value of a variable can change from run to run or job to job of your pipeline. All variables are stored as strings and are mutable. The most common use of variables is to define a value that you can then use in your pipeline. Variables give you a convenient way to get key bits of data into various parts of the pipeline.

I have also reported the same to apple as a bug report and spoke to Apple customer support. The device came with iOS 15 and it didn’t have this issue. Purchased a brand new iPhone 13, facing the exact same problem. Note: You can check out our Apple iOS 16 bug tracker to know more about other issues.ġ4:43 pm (IST): According to a user’s report, the flickering issue hasn’t been fixed in the latest iOS v16.0.3 update. We’ll keep tabs on further developments and update the article as and when something noteworthy comes up. Unfortunately, there’s no well-tested workaround at the moment, so the best users can do is try restarting their phones or embrace the age-old option of resetting to factory settings. The fact that this issue was later addressed points to the possibility that the iOS 16 screen flicker issue will also be fixed with a software update. ![]() We highlighted a similar issue last year where users’ screen started flickering on iPhone 12. Ever since I updated, a weird flickering issue popped up, most noticeable when typing and in grey backgrounds. Two days ago I updated my iPhone 11 Pro Max from iOS 15.6 to iOS 16.0. For some reason, iPhone screens also flicker while typing on a keyboard. It is surprising to note that the issue occurs only when the screen has low brightness or on apps with a gray/dark background. It seems that the issue is primarily related to the iPhone models with an AMOLED display like the iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and iPhone 11 Pro/Max. Why is this problem not widespread it’s driving me crazy I bought 2 expensive phones and I can’t watch videos at night the last 2 years I just updated to iOS 16 the screen flickering on black colors is still there, I can’t believe after 2 years they still can’t fix it. Have anybody noticed slight screen flickering, while typing? (iPhone 12, bought 1,5 month ago) It’s especially noticable on lower screen brightness, on grey screens (like in translate app) I’m pretty sure it wasn’t present on iOS 15.

"Our list is not 'Christian' games, but rather a list of games that pose important spiritual questions to those who play them. "What if video games have more to offer than just an exciting diversion into a digital battlefield, fantasy war, or alien invasion? While these types of games are certainly the loudest and most financially successful, there are a growing number of games asking important questions about life, the human condition, and even God." LTN exists to be the love of Jesus to nerds and nerd culture, you can read more about them on their website. It starts with 12 with a challenge us to be a good neighbour, and follows with others added over time. In this list, provided by the LTN (Love Thy Nerd) editors, we bring together video games that have the potential to offer more than entertainment. In some ways the resurgence of retro games could be seen in a similar light, although here the sentimental nostalgia is for virtual entertainment rather than rural lifestyle. Unsurprisingly this has become more popular on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic. These games emphasize simplicity and the slow pace of pastoral life as an escape from the modern world in favour of the bucolic. The Guardian called it a "visual and lifestyle movement designed to fetishize the wholesome purity of the outdoors." The New York Times described it as a reaction to hustle culture and the advent of personal branding. However it plays out in the game, Cottagecore aims to satisfy a desire for aspirational nostalgia and an escape from stress or trauma. Others use Cottagecore as a guide to how they look and feel, like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, The Stillness of the Wind and Mutazione. Games sometimes use these rural pursuits as play mechanics, like Stardew Valley, Potion Craft, Terraria and Fantasy Life. Although games are usually considered to be hard, harsh and technological, many of them play to this aesthetic that is sentimental about traditional skills and crafts such as foraging, baking, and pottery. Cottagecore is an online term celebrating an idealised rural life. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are also some settings where a scientific calculator would be the only option. Many simple and advanced problems can be solved with just a scientific calculator.
