Run, Run to Safety! - Don't Keep Your Head in the Sand!
?????????
Abounding With Life
??????????
As lifeless as sand may appear, many creatures call it home. Foxes, snakes, and scorpions burrow in desert sand during the day. Sleeping through the heat, they come out at night to hunt for food. Along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, in southwest Africa, elephants roam the vast dunes. They seem to have fun on the steep, sandy inclines, sliding down dragging their back legs. The “ship of the desert,” also known as the camel, cruises the sand seas of Asia and Africa.
?????????
Some animals come up out of the ocean to make use of sand. When their biological clocks sound the alarm, horseshoe crabs, sea turtles, and small fish called grunions ride the surf to the shore. There they lay their eggs to incubate in the softness of the sand.
?????????
For certain flowers, a dune is as comfortable as a window box. Sea rockets, beach peas, and beach morning glories flourish in sand and push their heads back up even when a dune buries them. Their long roots pull up water and nutrients to feed dainty blossoms—dabs of color on the monotone canvas of sand.
?????????
Granted, sand can be irritating when it collects in your shoes as you stroll near the shore. Do not get annoyed though. The fact is, we depend on those humble grains of sand! Sand is yet another testament to the wisdom of the Creator, Jehovah God.—Psalm 104:24.
24 How many your works are, O Jehovah!B You have made all of them in wisdom. The earth is full of what you have made."

iPhone X arrives with high price, no home button
Jessica Dolcourt Pricing is currently unavailable.
The iPhone X -- that's pronounced "ten", by the way, not "ex" -- is a phone of firsts for Apple. A brand-new 5.8-inch OLED screen, Face ID to unlock the phone and no home button. Optical image stabilization on both rear 12-megapixel camera lenses, a portrait mode on the front-facing camera and a new feature to animate emojis.
These are the distinguishing features you'll find on Apple's largest, priciest, most ambitious iPhone. You won't get them on the more traditional iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which were also announced Tuesday. In that sense, the "iPhone X" is a fitting name, the extra-special cherry on top to mark the 10th anniversary of the very first iPhone in 2007, which revolutionized at that time everything a smartphone could be, and hurled us on the path that led to what smartphones are today. 
Now, 10 years after the very first iPhone, Apple one-ups last year's crop across the board with a major feature that Apple's been dragging on for years. The iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X all support Qi wireless charging, a Samsung staple that works with both Qi and PMA standards. Qi (pronounced "chee") is a key addition that could kick-start wireless charging in a way that Samsung and Nokia and Microsoft hadn't been able to accomplish before.
The two biggest questions for me focus on the iPhone X's most daring design change, ditching the home button. Will actually make the phone more convenient to use? And will using your face to unlock the phone benefit you, or is it just a workaround? Without thorough testing to see how well it actually works, this one will remain pure speculation. If it does work, you can bet Samsung will step up its game to make its own facial recognition software secure enough for mobile payments (right now, that's just iris scanning and the fingerprint reader).
Heading into a crazy-competitive holiday season, the iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus will together lock arms against Samsung's best-selling Galaxy Note 8, LG's video-focused V30 and Google's upcoming Pixel 2 for smartphone supremacy.
This is a developing story. We'll be back with additional analysis and hands-on impressions from Apple's campus.
iPhone X price and when to buy it
The iPhone X ain't cheap. It'll sell for $999, £999 in the UK and AU$1,579 in Australia. Preorders start Oct. 27, and the phone ships Nov. 3. By contrast, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus start at $699 and $799, respectively. (They're £699 and £799 in the UK, or AU$1,079 and AU$1,229 in Australia.)
How is iPhone X different from the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus?
All three of Apple's new iPhones support wireless charging, and are water- and dust-resistant. They all come with 64GB and 256GB storage options and the same A11 "bionic" chip. They also all get the same upgraded slow-motion video support (1080p at 120fps or 240fps).
Here's what's different:
iPhone 8 and 8 Plus retain the home button with Touch ID iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are cheaper Preorder iPhone 8/Plus Sept. 15; they'll be available Sept. 22 iPhone X has a larger screen, no home button, OIS in both rear cameras, you can take portraits with the front facing camera The iPhone X comes in black and silver, but not gold iPhone X specs highlights:
5.8-inch OLED display with 458ppi pixel density 2,436x1,135-pixel resolution (Apple calls this a Super Retina display) Dual 12-megapixel rear cameras with OIS on both cameras Portrait mode with portrait lighting feature Front-facing camera has portrait mode now, too No home button Face ID to unlock the phone (hold your phone up to your face)  A11 Bionic processor Glass back and front Supports wireless charging 64GB and 256GB options Water- and dust-resistant Animojis make emojis out of you Black and space gray (no gold) A swipe takes you to the iPhone X home screen.
GIF by Alexandra Able/CNET No more home button: This is huge
As expected, the iPhone X has done away with the home button. So how do you unlock your phone? Start Siri? Multitask? Use Apple Pay? 
Unlock the phone with Face ID
Face ID, which uses a bunch of cameras, including the front-facing camera and IR camera, to scan your face and let you in to your iPhone. What about tricking the phone with photos of yourself? Apple says that won't happen; it's made masks to train the phones to distinguish you from your photo... and that of your evil twin. It will work with third-party apps, too.
You just raise the phone, look at it, and swipe to unlock. How do you exit an app and get back to the home screen? Just swipe -- see the GIF above to see how.
Launch Siri with a button press
If you're not using your voice, you press and hold a side button to get Apple's assistant going.
Multitasking
It's still here, never fear. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then continue to hold while swiping left or right to switch apps.
Buy stuff with Apple Pay
You can still do this even with no home button. Tap the side button twice to launch Face ID for Apple Pay.
Animojis use Face ID to make emojis out of you
You can create a new, living breed of emojis with iPhone X. Called animojis (a portmanteau of "animated" and "emoji"), the new feature taps into Face ID to lend popular emojis, mostly animals for now, your expressions in a message. There's a cat, a panda, a unicorn, a fox, a monkey, a pig, an alien, a dog, a rabbit, a rooster, a robot and... poop. Thanks, Apple. Keeping it classy.
Animojis live as an app right inside messages.
Wireless charging pad (sneak peek)
Wireless charging mats aren't new, but Apple wants to make one for your iPhones, your Apple Watch Series 3 and your AirPods ($249.00 at Amazon Marketplace) (if you have a wireless charging case).

War on drugs: 'Have Filipinos lost their consciences?'
https://www.youtube.com

This is totally not something I would do. But I'm doing it because I need help. I need to live. I don't know if I can anymore.
That having been said, I'm completely terrified of who I am and why I am the way I am. I'm afraid of the fears and doubts I have in my mind. I try my best not to be angry at myself or Jehovah. I have a family that loves me, a congregation that's patient with me. I know that, from a logical point of view, they wouldn't care if I told them the truth about me. I haven't acted on my desires about anything (besides pornography, i'll get to that later. it's not serious) But I'm afraid everything will change. I love my family, I can't lose them. But I still feel completely alone. Every time somebody says something about gay people, my heart hurts. I always try to explain to friends and family that "gay people don't necessarily choose why they feel that way." I tell them "if you were gay and the only experience you had with Christianity  was the hateful, bigoted garbage you see in Christendom, what would your perspective be?"  I appreciate the fact the brothers have released watchtower articles about brothers and sisters who've struggled and successfully overcome these issues. 
Last year, I recently relapsed with my pornography addiction. Of course, I admitted it. It wasn't even something I needed to be reproved for or anything. I told them the truth. It was hard, but they comforted me. Since that period last year, I've become so incredibly discouraged that I can hardly make it to the meetings. Door to door has become non-existent, and I get my field service time in through return visits and studies. My Dad is the Coordinator, and he's been absolutely great to me. That having been said, I feel like I've been drawing further and further away from the congregation and Jehovah. I pray to him several times a day, deeply. But it just gets harder and harder. I found myself looking at (very minor) forms of sexualized images again. It's an addiction I use to cope, but I hate it. I'm afraid and alone and every single part of me is fighting this. I'm exhausted. I'm burnt out. I'm discouraged. I'm depressed.
Part of me just wants a relationship. I just want intimacy. It doesn't need to be sexual even. I had a friend I could talk to about anything. He killed himself 2 years ago just before being DF'd for drug abuse. That really messed with my head. I went through a period where I was cutting myself every night. I drank just before I got drunk almost every night. I was so alone. 
One of my best friends left the organization and it killed me. He told me I was part of the reason for it, because I was critical of his actions. Apparently I didn't love him enough. I was crushed.
These events have made me questions whether it's worth it, whether this is the truth at all. I know it is, but I find myself drifting further and further away. Even though I pray and try so hard, it just gets more difficult. Please, please help me
I suppose my question, then, is if anyone else has gone through this, and what they feel?

Germany. The Kingdom Hall Fire, provoked.
A few days ago we reported that a kingdom hall in Germany had been set on fire at 9 points. The Fire Department controlled the fire.
The Police, after viewing the security cameras in the building, have arrested the arsonist, who has proved to be a witness to the Lord of this hall.

Azerbaijan sues French journalists for calling the country a 'dictatorship'

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the
bottom for the result. This is not a trick question . It is as it
reads.

No one I know has gotten it right. Few people do.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did
not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be
her dream guy so much that she fell in love with him right there, but
never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later
she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?

[Give this some thought before you answer, see answer below]











Answer:

She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again. If you
answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test
by a famous American Psychologist used to determine if one has the same
mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in the
test and answered the question correctly. If you didn't answer the
question correctly, good for you.

If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take
your crazy ass off my list!
