The point of the arrow reminds us of the last essential quality we want to craft in a child: Every person needs a reason to live, a driving passion or calling that provides meaning and impact. Only the front end of the shaft needs a finishing touch-a point. Our finely-crafted arrow is nearly complete. The best school to learn about relationships and resolving conflict is in the University of Family, where the professors teach and train their students for more than eighteen years. And this training can occur quite naturally in the context of our relationship. Similarly, relationships without truth can result in a self-indulgent teen, one who is spoiled.Ĭhildren also need parents who will build into them the ability to love others. Try teaching truth without a relationship with your child. We need the strength, comfort, encouragement, resources, and power provided by God and others. None of us was intended to make a journey through life alone. When someone’s life intersects with God and with people, a power transfer occurs. The nock can be compared to the third core ingredient necessary in a child’s life: relationships. The nock keeps the arrow in place on the string until the power is released. That’s why every arrow, at the rear of the shaft, has a small groove that holds the bowstring. It is “response-ability,” and comes as a result of training our children to submit to God and His Word.Īll of the pent-up power in a bow is of no value if it cannot be effectively transferred. Character is how your child responds to authority and life’s circumstances. And it’s one of the major assignments God gives us as parents. We think character has the same effect on a child.įrom Genesis to Revelation, character development is a major theme of God’s work in people. If an arrow has the right kind of feathers, properly installed, it will fly straight. An arrow without good fletching is undependable and dangerous. The feathers or fletching create drag when the arrow is in flight, which keeps the back end of the arrow behind the front end-a pretty important function! It also stabilizes the arrow as it flies to its target. Why do arrows have those feathers at the back end? We must also communicate with them one of the most important messages they will ever receive-”You are made in the image of God. If we want to properly guide our children to a healthy self identity, we must acknowledge and support the Creator’s design in three key areas: spiritual identity, emotional identity, and sexual identity. The nation of Israel was selected, adopted and set apart by God to be “His people.” Every person is born with a unique, divinely-imprinted identity. The Scripture records the story of God giving man and woman an identity. If a child’s self concept is warped-not straight and strong-his flight in life may be wobbly. Obviously, since every other part of the arrow must attach to the shaft, this part of the arrow is a lot like a child’s identity. The making of a fine arrow begins with the shaft. Nearly every issue or trap our children will encounter can be linked to a young person’s need in one of four areas. These four qualities give us four clear goals to pursue as we craft our children. If all of these four are made well, the result is an effective arrow, beautifully designed for impact. And guess who gets to be the primary “crafter” of the arrow? Welcome to Arrow Crafting 101!Īny arrow to be useful must have a shaft, fletching (feathers), a nock (the groove at the end of the arrow into which the bow string fits), and a point. He wants you to eventually release that arrow to make an impact on our world with the love of Christ. Arrows are not meant to be kept safe in the quiver. The psalmist refers to your child as an arrow-a weapon! And that is no mistake. Many of us know of the previous verse, in which we are told, “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord the fruit of the womb is a reward.” That’s a nice, warm, safe verse.īut then look at verse four: “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.” In Psalm 127:4, you will find an amazing statement about your child.

Instead of finding his antics humorous, the absolute control and insanity of some of the things he did make wide-eyed wonder and amazement just as much of a legitimate response as rolling in the aisles. There’s a thought that needs to be sat on – Buster Keaton was doing things that only cartoons could recreate. Hindsight doesn’t help either with the very DNA of this short being found in countless cartoons the world over. The little moments of competition lack connective tissue from one to the next, but the audacity of the man makes you question how much is real and how much is done through clever staging. Its story sees Keaton compete with a young outdoorswoman after being swept away by a runaway hot air balloon – as only Keaton could. Slapstick and cartoons have a great deal in common and the Balloonatic is the perfect capsule of this. There are some interesting shorts to be found outside of the classics. Some were a procession of fragmented gags, others were endlessly derivative in that Keaton played an unconventionally attractive, unlucky romantic lead in the exact same situation in a variety of places and others were sadly forgettable. Keaton is regarded as one of the finest comedy performers of all time and with good reason, at his best his physicality and timing defied logic, however, given the number of films he did during 1917-23 it’s only natural that every short doesn’t live up to the reputation of history – he’s only human, after all. There are glimmers of chemistry in the earliest films, a connection that never really had the chance to flourish as these where Arbuckle films in which Keaton featured, an apprenticeship rather than a partnership. This is evidenced in the short film ‘Good Night, Nurse’ in which Arbuckle is taken to a revolutionary sanatorium that claims to be able to cure alcoholism, that film ends with Arbuckle cross-dressing to escape. If history was somehow different, Arbuckle and Keaton may have become a great double act. While these films are often funny in their own right, they lack a certain something – like Laurel without Hardy or Abbott without Costello they are half of a complete picture. The earliest films date back to 1917 and see Keaton as a supporting player to Roscoe ‘Fatty’ Arbuckle. Contrarily that lottery is also home to some treats with new inter-titles, musical accompaniments and alternate endings, cleaning up the films however possible. Some are besieged by merciless grain, others by the discolouration associated with neglectful safekeeping and the need to re-edit from various cuts, while others are perfect – it is a lottery from film to film. Unfortunately, this means the presentation of the 32 short films is deeply inconsistent. Even with its fair share of lost films, Germany is a world away from the safekeeping and restoration of American silent cinema an apathy and negligence that has gone down in notoriety and legend thanks to the Martin Scorsese’s of the world. In recent years Eureka’s lionized Masters of Cinema imprint has released countless classic, lost and forgotten silent films with masters as fresh as the day they left the printing press thanks to outfits like the F.W. With his centenary looming, Eureka has re-issued their previous complete short films box-set on Blu-Ray including his early collaborations with Fatty Arbuckle and ending with a run of commercially and critically successful shorts that saw him become one of the greatest film icons of all time. Going back a few years shy of a century, slapstick was king and its serving monarch – Buster Keaton. Comedy is different in that it has so many different types and distinctions that the very early stuff is just as valid as the modern. Take science fiction and horror as the prime examples, both are worlds away from their respective zeitgeists – almost as if comparing night with day. The history of cinema is fascinating when journeying back to its origins, illustrating how much has changed over the course of time.

Googly Eyes Strike Again, This Time in Overwatch No one knows exactly how the tradition started, but there are plenty of people who enjoy this light-hearted day and are happy to keep the tradition alive.Magic: The Gathering Arena players woke to quite the surprise this April Fools' Day as Arena developer, Wizards of the Coast, sneakily added googly eyes to players' decks and avatars. In the era of 'fake news' it's often hard on a normal day of the year to work out when we're being tricked into believing something that isn't true, but on April Fool's Day you need to be even more alert. For example, a spokesperson for Dublin Zoo said staff had 'lost their sense of humour' after they received more than 100,000 calls asking for invented names such as Mr C Lyons, Anna Conda and G Raffe! The callers were victims of a phone hoax, who contacted the zoo after receiving a text message encouraging them to make the call. Other people point out that it can have negative consequences, like confusion, worry or wasting time and resources. April Fool's Day controversyĪpril Fool's Day fans say it encourages fun and laughter, and one study found that it reduces stress and therefore could be good for your heart. The following day, Burger King admitted that this advertisement had been a hoax, but said that thousands of customers had gone to restaurants across the USA asking for a left-handed burger. The advert for the 'new product' explained that all the ingredients had been rotated 180 degrees so that it was more comfortable for left-handed people to pick up and eat. On April Fool's Day 1998, the American hamburger chain Burger King announced that it had created a left-handed hamburger. Two major UK newspapers, The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mirror, published the 'important story' on their front pages. The film showed a family in Switzerland collecting spaghetti from trees and many people were fooled into believing it, as in the 1950s British people didn't eat much pasta and many didn't know how it was made! Most British people wouldn't fall for the spaghetti trick today, but in 2008 the BBC managed to fool their audience again with their Miracles of Evolution trailer, which appeared to show some special penguins that had regained the ability to fly. One of the earliest examples of this was in 1957 when a programme on the BBC, the UK's national TV channel, broadcast a report on how spaghetti grew on trees. Some newspapers, TV channels and well-known companies publish false news stories to fool people on 1 April. A common joke is to try to stick a paper fish onto a victim's back without being noticed. In France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and French-speaking areas of Canada and Switzerland, the 1 April tradition is known as the 'April Fish'. This continues and the victim ends up taking the message to several different people until someone feels sorry for them and shows them what the letter says: 'Send the fool to someone else.' When the person receives the letter, they open it, read it and tell the poor messenger that they will have to take the letter to another person. The victim is sent to deliver a letter, supposedly asking for help. Maybe it's not your kind of humour, but watch out, there's always someone who will find it hilarious! In Ireland, a popular prank is to send someone on a 'fool's errand'. Then, when they bend down to do them up, you shout, 'April Fool!', and they realise their shoelaces are fine. So, what kind of jokes do people play? Well, a simple example would be telling your friend that their shoelaces are undone. Anyone who forgets this and tries a joke in the afternoon becomes an 'April Fool' themselves. After midday it's considered bad luck to play a trick. In the UK, jokes and tricks can be played up until noon on 1 April. On this day, people traditionally play practical jokes on each other and have fun trying to make other people believe things that are not true. April Fool's Day is celebrated on 1 April in many countries around the world. These situations very often lead to “conflicts” with different versions of your file ironically, they’re often caused by safety backup features intended to avoid any loss of data. Even if you’re the only person with access to the spreadsheet, you can face some unexpected issues with versions created due to different issues with your spreadsheet these include temporary loss of your internet connection, an unexpected crash of your workbook or operating system, loss of power, etc. Keeping track of versions of your spreadsheet can be quite a nightmare. Although you can add filters for sorting and viewing data, it will affect the rest of the users who are working on the spreadsheet. The number of co-authors is limited to class size or even lower otherwise, Excel will perform slower and crash constantly.īroken cell references: Having several users working simultaneously can lead to accidental cell or formula changes. In terms of the “Comments” function, unless you provide clear instructions on how to use them, they can quickly turn into an instant messaging channel. Microsoft 365 suite introduced users to Excel’s online version to compensate for previous online collaboration limitations, including the Excel Co-Authoring feature but failed to level up to the functionalities offered by the desktop version.įor example, tracking changes is not possible, so you won’t be able to go back to a specific edit. Add-ins, which are a common way to expand Excel’s features, are also very limited in the web version. There are issues related to important features, like controls, data connections, data validation, functions, and workbook protection. In addition to explanations about how certain features work similarly or in general, there is a specific section on the differences. However, a quick look will tell you that they are not the same tool. There is a Microsoft Support article that covers those differences quite comprehensively. Microsoft does a good job documenting the specifications and limitations of its products, so you can easily identify the differences between the two versions. If you’re using the online version of Excel, then you will face even more challenges, as it is a limited version of what is offered in the desktop application. Regarding the number of sheets allowed per workbook, the support page states that it is “Limited by available memory.” In other words, with a normal computer, you’re unlikely to be able to even approach these limits, whatever they may be. However, if you actually try this, you’ll see that the worksheet becomes practically impossible to work with. Each sheet is limited to 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns, which gives us a total of 17,179,869 184 cells. The technical specifications and limitations of Excel are well-documented, and details are available on Microsoft’s Support pages. Unfortunately, most of these challenges are related to aspects that are becoming increasingly important, like collaboration, keeping track of changes or versions of your spreadsheet, and of course, automation. In addition to the technical limitations and specifications published by Microsoft, there are some disadvantages and challenges associated with its use.

It’s also, and I’m sure of this, the very last update before iOS 15 launches next week. Apple says: “Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.” In the case of the WebKit issue, there’s evidence that it’s important to update now.

On the other end of the spectrum is Florida Rep. Her handling of police-involved cases has been branded as disqualifying for some. The stakes are highest for one Democrat who has long seen as a potential favorite of Biden - Minnesota Sen. It revived one of the biggest questions surrounding Biden’s choice: Will he choose not just a woman, but a woman of color? Twitter left the message up but put it behind a warning label so that users would need to click through to see it.Īs Joe Biden’s vice presidential search moves into a new, more concentrated phase, issues of race and criminal justice raised by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis appear likely to intensify a public pressure campaign as to who he should choose. Trump early Friday posted on both Twitter and Facebook that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” - a phrase with an ominous history that many readers interpreted as a threat to shoot American citizens. “I disagree strongly with how the President spoke about this, but I believe people should be able to see this for themselves, because ultimately accountability for those in positions of power can only happen when their speech is scrutinized out in the open,” Zuckerberg said. Zuckerberg, in a late afternoon post on his Facebook wall, largely stood by his long-held view that social media companies should take a light touch when deciding how to moderate the statements of politicians. "If you do want to come down and make a statement, do it in a peaceful manner."įacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Friday he wasn’t going to take down President Donald Trump’s posts about shooting alleged looters in Minneapolis nor put a warning on them as Twitter did, but he acknowledged he had been "struggling all day" with how to respond.

The long history of protest action here meant that protesters urged each other to walk while fleeing to avoid a stampede, and many carried jugs of milk to pour into eyes burning from the gas. But by 9 p.m., protesters began throwing bottles and fireworks, and police responded with tear gas, fired in high arcs over the crowd and pushing them back several blocks. Police in Oakland stayed in place for most of the evening, establishing a cordon around the downtown Oakland precinct. The city’s troubled relationship with its own police department - OPD is in its 17th year under a federal consent decree for civil rights violations - was powerfully expressed Friday night.
