Arp 194 is a peculiar group of interacting galaxies located about 600 million light-years away from the Earth in the direction of the Cepheus constellation. In the top portion of the above picture, two colliding galaxies are in the process of merging together. It looks like one of the galaxies has sprung a leak – a spiral arm full of newborn stars is extending downward. The bluish arm looks like a cosmic fountain of stars, gas and dust. It looks like it is connected to the galaxy at the bottom, but it isn’t; the galaxy visible at the bottom of the picture is a background galaxy located very far away from the interacting galaxies. I am EAGER for the day when we will be able to know the more understandable facts about where our father resides. song 131 says “Jehovahs temple dwelling where he hears my plea shelter me, rescue me O my God.” View the full article

You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the track. Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence. Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition. Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand. If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. The opulence of the front office decor varies inversely with the fundamental solvency of the firm. The attention span of a computer is only as long as it electrical cord. An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure. All great discoveries are made by mistake. Always draw your curves, then plot your reading. Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget. All's well that ends. A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost. The first myth of management is that it exists. A failure will not appear till a unit has passed final inspection. New systems generate new problems. To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer. We don't know one millionth of one percent about anything. Any given program, when running, is obsolete. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. A computer makes as many mistakes in two seconds as 20 men working 20 years make. The faster a computer is, the faster it will reach a crashed state. Nothing motivates a man more than to see his boss putting in an honest day's work. Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book or even what book. The primary function of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the fabricator and impossible for the serviceman. To spot the expert, pick the one who predicts the job will take the longest and cost the most. After all is said and done, a hell of a lot more is said than done. Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable and three parts which are still under development. A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works. If mathematically you end up with the incorrect answer, try multiplying by the page number. Computers are unreliable, but humans are even more unreliable. Any system which depends on human reliability is unreliable. Give all orders verbally. Never write anything down that might go into a "Pearl Harbor File." Under the most rigorously controlled conditions of pressure, temperature, volume, humidity, and other variables the organism will do as it damn well pleases. If you can't understand it, it is intuitively obvious. The more cordial the buyer's secretary, the greater the odds that the competition already has the order. In designing any type of construction, no overall dimen- sion can be totaled correctly after 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The correct total will become self-evident at 8:15 a.m. on Monday. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches. All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door. The only perfect science is hind-sight. Work smarder and not harder and be careful of yor speling. If it's not in the computer, it doesn't exist. If an experiment works, something has gone wrong. When all else fails, read the instructions. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Everything that goes up must come down. Any instrument when dropped will roll into the least accessible corner. Any simple theory will be worded in the most complicated way. Build a system that even a fool can use and only a fool will want to use it. The degree of technical competence is inversely proportional to the level of management. Any attempt to print Murphy's laws will jam the printer.

Community rallies around house fire family THE BILOELA community has rallied around the young family who lost their house and family pets in a house fire at the weekend. Family friend Kirrilly McCabe set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the family just hours after the home was destroyed. "I just thought about how we would cope in that situation - they literally were in the car and just had the clothes on their back," she said. "They're also both not the type to ask for help. I wasn't sure how (they) would react, but I've spoken to the mother since and she's just extremely grateful that someone has sort of taken the reins." Mrs McCabe said the community response was instant and overwhelming. "The community's been really generous - not just through the GoFundMe but we've also had a drop off point and people have been dropping stuff off all week. "Some of the online donations have come from people that we know through a mutual facebook group - one was in Victoria and one was from New South Wales. "We've also gotten heaps of other donations from around town and vouchers from local businesses. One business even set up a money tin on the counter." Physical donations were so numerous that Mrs McCabe had to post an update on Tuesday night letting people know that the family had reached capacity and needed to spend some time sorting through what they have been given. The mother of the family, who said they wish to remain anonymous, told the Central Telegraph that members of the local Jehovah's Witnesses church had paid for a hotel for the first two nights before her partner's work was able to step in and arrange emergency accommodation. "The support's been overwhelming, I just want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the community that's been there to support us through this rough time," she said. "Kirrilly has been amazing. Our online and real life communities have sort of come together." She said she and her partner were trying not to dwell on the fire by keeping themselves busy with day-to-day tasks and setting things up at their new place. "The kids are too young to really know what's going on - (my son) doesn't really understand why we can't go back," she said. "We're just going through donations and dealing with insurance at the moment." Organisers of upcoming pre-loved fashion markets at the PCYC have been in contact with the family about fundraising in the coming months so that support will continue "when the dust has settled." Donations to the GoFundMe appeal can be made here. http://www.cqnews.com.au/news/community-rallies-around-house-fire-family/3036749/

We enjoyed a quick trip by bus with friends to Zihuatanejo, Mexico this last weekend. Since we had dressed informally for the beach, we arranged to meet together for the Watchtower and talk in a patio lent be a brother. We had 36 in attendance. In the photo, Efraín is conducting the Watchtower. I had the privilege of giving the discourse in shorts and a casual shirt, which was definitely a first for me (and probably a last). ? __ Nos fuimos por autobús con hermanos el fin de semana pasado a Zihuatanejo, México. Ya que habíamos vestido de manera informal para la playa, el grupo se reunieron juntos para la Atalaya y el discurso en un patio prestado por un hermano. Había 36 en asistencia. En la foto, Efraín está conduciendo la Atalaya. Yo tuve el privilegio de dar el discurso (en short y una camisa informal por la primera vez, y a lo mejor, la última vez). ? ————————- #jw #tj #jwbrasil #jwfriends #jwonly #jworg #jehovah #jwfamily #bestlifeever #jehovahswitnesses #jwbrazil #jwmexico #jehova #jehovahswitness #jwlove #jwsisters #jwlife #jwchile #jwargentina #testigosdejehova #jw_witnesses #jwitalia #jwspain #jwworld #jehovahscreation #jwphotography #jw_photographers #jwphoto #jwphotographer #jwcreation __ View the full article
