![]() My email is or stop by the office.Įd Boice is the new Editor of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle. If you consider yourself a good writer or know of something great happening locally you would like to share, I'll be happy to talk with anyone that's interested. Speaking of shrinking journalism, we always need writers. I've enjoyed working in this town, and I'm grateful for how the town in general has accepted me. Now with my thoughts out of the way, I'm looking forward to being the editor for Abilene's newspaper and am optimistic about my start. And to me, that's what matters to me for my career mostly. Developing relationships with the people here, sitting down with someone to pick their brain on certain topics, chasing down information for an important story (the story about a petition against a bar was an adrenaline rush), finding new stories and figuring out how to effectively communicate it I just enjoy what I do. To be honest, I love what I've been doing here in Abilene so far. Regardless, I'm prepared to take on this challenge and have spent the time I need to start off on the right foot. Me becoming editor is how this newspaper is moving forward, despite how I or anyone else feels or thinks. And so, with Lydia moving on the next stage in her life, I was chosen to be next because our staff is small. I am glad to say (or I'm dumb for being glad, guess it depends on how you look at it) I'm one of the remaining reporters of small-town newspaper across the nation. To summarize the situation, newspapers and journalism are shrinking across the nation. After 21 years of running and owning the Abilene restaurant, Marty and Anja Andrews, owners of Joe Snuffy’s Old Fashion Grill, looking to move on from the restaurant business. I'm 24 and graduated college about a year and a half ago. Owners Marty Andrews and Anja Andrews (not present in photo) decided to put up Joe Snuffy’s Old Fashion Grill for sale. Now, some of you may be thinking, "what's this guy doing as editor of a newspaper? He's young enough to be my son." You're probably correct. I hope to bring more positive changes to the newspaper, but those two aspects are what I know for now. I myself (barring some major life-changing event or becoming a meth addict) anticipate working with this paper for several years to come. I hope to be one person to end that trend. From what I understand, the paper's staff has been a bit inconsistent for the past couple of years. Secondly, I want to be a stable position of leadership for this newspaper. ![]() With the temporary addition of Gail Parsons and Kathy Hageman and Lydia continuing to design the layout of the physical paper, I should have the time to edit stories efficiently. To start off, I'm aiming to increase the amount of editing time dedicated to each story. Let's start off with what I'm bringing to the table. ![]() While preparing for my new role the past few weeks, I've had a lot of thoughts and emotions on taking this position that I thought I'd share with y'all. Lydia Kautz, our now former editor, is leaving for Nebraska for a position to further her career. “The fact that she made a funny, entertaining feminist critique and broke so many box office records with a movie about a doll that has been such a lightning rod in our culture is a monumental feat that should not be underestimated.I am now the editor for the Reflector-Chronicle. “Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ accomplished something so profound,” Melissa Silverstein, the founder of the blog Women and Hollywood and the artistic director of the Athena Film Festival, wrote in an email Monday.

![]() Their reaction in the face of all of this is fear. The Apostles noticed not so much the death of Lazarus but the threat of death to Jesus (and consequently to themselves) if they returned to the troubled area they just left. 7-8 – Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again." The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?" John divides the story into four parts showing how four people reacted to Lazarus' death. ![]() As a matter of fact, this section has more to do with how the disciples react to Lazarus' death than to Lazarus himself. This miracle, therefore, was not only to create faith in new disciples it was also to strengthen the faith of existing disciples in the face of death. His disciples, however, needed help in experiencing the death of their leader without being totally crushed. He already said that the Father gave Him the authority to both lay down His life and pick it up again (John 10:18). He knew this and His disciples had to be prepared to face His death without losing their faith. We have to understand that everything Jesus said and did had as its purpose the creation of faith in the hearts of the people. So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was. So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick." But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it." Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 1-6 – Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. The death and resurrection of Lazarus Vs. With this miracle, Jesus will end His public ministry, prove beyond a doubt His divine power and provide a preview of His own death and resurrection that is to come in the near future. The first and very spectacular event John describes in detail is the death and resurrection of Lazarus, His friend and the brother of Mary and Martha of Bethany.Įxcept for His crucifixion, this will be the last public action that Jesus will do from now on He will be exclusively in the company of His disciples. The last 11 chapters describe the words and events that take place in the last 2 or 3 months of Jesus' ministry on earth. ![]() In the first 10 chapters John describes events that took place over a 30 to 33 month period. In chapter 11 the time for Jesus' passion (a short-form way of referring to the final days of suffering and resurrection) is drawing near so John's book begins to compress time. This cycle has repeated itself enough times to become the major pattern in John's gospel. John has demonstrated that as a result of all these activities, a growing number have come to believe in Him and a far greater number have rejected Him in disbelief. He has, by His declarations and miracles, put forth the idea that He is the divine Son of God. He has been having ongoing debates with the Jewish leaders. Until now Jesus has been preaching and teaching to the people. ![]() Chapter 11 begins a new section in John's gospel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Use this form if you don’t see what you’re looking for above.

There were a couple things leading up to the reboot that fueled our passion, one being Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Can you talk a bit about the evolution of the character since 2006? You basically undertook another reboot of the character and the franchise with the 2013 Tomb Raider game. So we’re considered now in the “third era” of Lara Croft. And one of the goals there was to rationalize, “If an audience came to the TR experience from the movie or from the Core games, let’s make sure that the canon is supportive.” Also, the movies had gained some popularity at that point, so in terms of canon, there were some changes to Lara’s backstory. So we were ultimately very anxious to learn from what Core had done. But what’s easy to overlook is that it was such a giant franchise with such a huge install base that we came at it with a certain sense of humility. And so I think that’s why they were looking at us. ![]() My first experience was having this great opportunity from Eidos, who said, “We’ve got this franchise that we could really use another developer taking a look at.” And we had done some of the games I’d mentioned, but Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, being one of the most specific ones relevant to TR, was a very narrative-driven action-adventure combining elements of platforming and combat. We released a game called Project: Snowblind, which I worked heavily on the multiplayer side, and essentially had moved into a studio-level role. I worked on an Xbox launch title called Mad Dash Racing, and then we released a platformer called Whiplash. So how did you first get involved in the Tomb Raider series at Crystal Dynamics? So it was this shot across the bow in terms of unifying the very game-y early days with trying to bring some of those Hollywood aesthetics in ways that didn’t contradict the values of the medium. And, but at the time it almost felt real compared to the Marios of the world. And I think in ’96, Tomb Raider stepped into that and said, “We’re going to give the same platforming promise of clambering across these vast landscapes as Mario does, but we’re going to try to deliver that Hollywood aesthetic of an Indiana Jones movie and that high adventure and that fantasy fulfillment and we’re going to do that in a way that’s less abstract. You also had an influx of Hollywood at that time, and their intent was to take the potential of these great, gameplay-centric experiences but start to bring them to more of a mass-media–consuming audience. At that time - and to maybe put it in the context of Tomb Raider a little bit - you had a fairly robust expression of video games as skill challenge, as platformers with some amount of abstraction and some amount of realism. ![]() ![]() ![]() POST CERTIFIED PLAN IV Course Fee: $399.00 Meetings – speak up when things get off track and suggest how to improve them.Diversity – willingly and ably discuss diversity problems face-to-face and in the moment.Safety – discusses violations and solutions without finger-pointing or resentment.Relationships – work through differences with others and strengthen relationships.Quality – develop productive processes that are eagerly implemented.Change Management – agree with others on and follow through with difficult changes. ![]()

You could also manually browse for files in the most likely locations: \Program Files, \Program Files (x86), \ProgramData, \Users\\AppData\Local, \Users\\AppData\Roaming. Investigate these to see what's left, and whether the folders can safely be deleted. Open the client folder you noted in the previous step, if it still exists, and search your system for folders with similar names. ![]() There are often plenty of leftovers, ranging from stray DLLs to detailed logs of all your recent VPN connections. Uninstalling a VPN won't necessarily remove all of its files. Once you've run the regular uninstaller and removed any associated TAP files, reboot your PC to make sure Windows is able to delete locked program files. If you don't find anything, search your system for the VPN name and look for an Uninstall shortcut. Remove these by right-clicking and selecting Uninstall. If the list is sorted alphabetically, scroll to the T's and look for items beginning 'TAP-' (our test system included TAP-NordVPN and TAP-ProtonVPN). The installed programs list might also include a TAP driver (a virtual network adapter) for your VPN provider. ![]() Make a note of the folder name – you'll need it later.Ĭlose the client completely (don't just minimize it), then try to uninstall it from the regular Control Panel applet (Control Panel > Programs and Features > Uninstall a Program). Open a client window, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to launch Task Manager, right-click the app name and select Open File Location. Start by finding where the program files are stored on your hard drive. The first step in removing a VPN is to clear away its client. (Image credit: Microsoft) Uninstall VPN clients Furthermore, some of the latter steps will only really apply to those who are extremely privacy-conscious, as you’ll see when you read through. You can be as thorough – or not – as you like.Īnd if you’re not confident with some of the more involved elements – like editing the Registry – then it’s probably best to skip these steps. Note that you don’t have to follow all these steps, at least beyond the first and primary uninstallation process. So, let’s look in detail at how to go about uninstalling your VPN software and subsequently cleaning up after that process. Be very careful, and don't wipe anything unless your system is fully backed up, and you've got the tools and experience to recover the computer if anything goes wrong. Accidentally deleting something important could cripple your PC. Deleting ancient network remnants brings benefits of its own, too, freeing up resources, simplifying your network settings and maybe reducing the chance of problems occurring with other networking software.īear in mind that there are risks involved with this kind of low-level clean-up. Whatever your circumstances, it's interesting to see what a PC might hold regarding your VPN history. We’ve also debunked 6 common myths concerning VPNs.If others have access to your PC, or maybe you're running a VPN on a work computer, maybe if it's your own system, probably not. ![]() Whether this is any kind of privacy risk depends on your situation. Most could remain on your system for years. Even uninstalling the VPN will usually leave at least some traces behind, and there are plenty more clues to your activities in Windows' various network histories. Often there's no automated way to remove this information. ![]() ![]() That’s one of the software’s coolest features, actually. For example, you can search the company’s entire stash of up-to-date offering messages to see if there’s a sale somewhere on whatever it In both cases, PeeqPeeq makes the job easier and more attractive. Men tend to check them, if at all, only when they’reĪlready on the way to the store to buy something, wondering if there’s a discount. Women, he says, tend to look at this kind of e-mail as entertainment, during “I’m bored” moments: standing in line, waiting for an appointment. ![]() Lee Ott, the company’s founder, has done a lot of research. It’s an app that elevates junk mail?Īnd yes, there’s a difference between the way men and woman think about promotional shopping e-mail. Now, particularly if you’re a guy, you might be aghast at the whole concept. So within the app, you can also summon mini-catalogs of e-mailed offers you haven’t subscribed to, in categories like Post Labor Day (sales), Clothing, Deals, Electronics & Gadgets, Sports and so on. Or send it on to friends by e-mail or text message.īehind the scenes, the company (called RokketLaunch) has subscribed to every such promotional mailing under the sun. You flip through them as you would the pages of an actual catalog, tapping one to enlarge it if it piques your interest. Each message becomes an attractivelyĭesigned, uniform “page,” six of them per iPad screen. What the app does is convert the contents of that folder - all of the promotional e-mail - into a lovely, full-screen catalog.

The roar of junk mail to a minimum (I use a program called SpamSieve, and I never, ever enter my primary e-mail address into a form on the Web). It’s a to-do list, Rolodex and record of past projects. It’s correspondence, collaboration, ideas, news, warnings and congratulations. Entire careers have been launched around the premise of getting your in-box to zero. It eats up too much time, it’s used improperly, it’s filled up with junk. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can do an experiment and publish a video with and without tags. Therefore, in one way or another, every ticktocker should use this tool. With the hashtags you can set the right direction for the ranking algorithm. When a user publishes a video, the system determines what topic it is on, and therefore what audience to show it to. However, in TT they perform another very important function - content ranking. Clicking on a tag takes the user to a page where all publications under that hashtag are collected. Hashtags in TT, as in other social networks, serve the same function - sorting content by topic. We suggest you to take a simpler way and buy live TikTok views counter from the link to the video on our website Lowcost Smm. If you still do not want to have too many people in your followers, this promotion method will not work for you. Having increased your followers in this way, you may never get the number of views you need.Looking at both numbers, users will realize that you are a mass follower, and have attracted an audience in this way For some, this is a significant disadvantage. In the end, the number of your followers will be equal to the number of subscriptions. ![]() To see the real effect of mass subscriptions, you need to subscribe to dozens of users every day. ![]() So come up with a name for your channel that accurately reflects its theme, and upload a bright attractive avatar.ĭespite the popularity of this method, it has a number of significant drawbacks: Pay attention to the name of your channel and its avatar.
