Francine Rivers’ book is so infused with the power and presence of God. That’s what Michael Hosea is about, and that’s what Redeeming Love is. I hope this doesn’t end as a watered-down version where the message isn’t crystal clear… because this is one of Francine Rivers’ finest works!” Disclosure: Thanks to Universal for providing a sample of the product for this review.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME – Official Teaser Trailer January 1, 2022 bizadmin Plot After Quentin Beck frames Peter Parker for murder and reveals his identity as Spider-Man, Parker, his girlfriend M.J., best friend Ned Leeds, and aunt May are interrogated by the Department of Damage Control. Lawyer Matt Murdock gets Parker’s charges dropped, but the group grapples with negative publicity. After Parker, MJ, and Ned’s M.I.T. applications are rejected, Parker goes to the New York Sanctum to ask Stephen Strange for help. Strange suggests a spell that would make people forget Parker is Spider-Man. Parker repeatedly requests alterations to let his loved ones retain their memories, which corrupts the spell, but Strange contains it and makes Parker leave. Parker goes to convince an M.I.T. administrator to reconsider M.J. and Ned’s applications but is suddenly attacked by Otto Octavius. Octavius rips Parker’s nanotechnology from his Iron Spider suit, which bonds with his mechanical tentacles and allows Parker to disable them. As Norman Osborn arrives and attacks, Strange teleports Parker back to the Sanctum and locks Octavius in a cell next to Curt Connors. Strange explains that the corrupted spell summoned people from other universes who know Spider-Man’s identity and orders Parker to find and capture them. As Parker captures Max Dillon and Flint Marko, Osborn reclaims himself from his split Green Goblin personality. He goes to a F.E.A.S.T. building, where May comforts him before Parker retrieves him. While discussing their battles with Spider-Man, Osborn, Octavius, and Dillon realize they were pulled from their universes just before their deaths. Strange prepares a spell that will send the villains back to their respective universes, but Parker argues that they should first cure the villains’ powers and insanity to prevent their deaths upon their return. Parker steals the boxed spell, traps Strange in the Mirror Dimension, and, with May, takes the villains to Happy Hogan’s apartment. He cures Octavius, but Osborn’s Goblin persona takes control and convinces the uncured villains to betray Parker. As Dillon, Marko, and Connors escape, Osborn injures May, who tells Parker that “with great power, there must also come great responsibility” before dying. Ned discovers he can create portals using Strange’s sling ring, which he and M.J. use to locate Parker. They instead find “Peter-Two” and “Peter-Three,” alternate versions of Parker, who were summoned by Strange’s spell. Ned and M.J. find Parker and comfort him while the other Parkers share stories of losing loved ones; they encourage Parker to fight in May’s honor. The three Parkers develop cures for the villains and lure Dillon, Marko, and Connors to the Statue of Liberty. Peter-Two and Parker cure Marko and Connors, while Octavius arrives to help and heal Dillon. Ned frees Strange from the Mirror Dimension, but Osborn arrives and destroys the boxed spell, breaking the barrier separating universes. While Strange maintains the wall, an enraged Parker attempts to kill Osborn, but Peter-Two stops him. Peter-Three and Parker inject Osborn with his cure, restoring his sanity. Parker realizes that the only way to protect the multiverse is to erase himself from everyone’s memory and requests that Strange do so while promising M.J. and Ned that he will find them again. The spell is cast, and everyone returns to their respective universe—including Eddie Brock, who leaves behind a piece of the Venom symbiote. Two weeks later, Parker visits M.J. and Leeds to reintroduce himself but decides against it. While mourning at May’s grave, he has a conversation with Hogan and is inspired to carry on, making a new suit and resuming his vigilantism.

How Interior Design Skills Can Spruce up a Home January 10, 2021 bizadmin For the uninitiated and from Wikipedia, Interior design is defined as the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. An interior designer is someone who plans, researches, coordinates, and manages such enhancement projects. From Merriam-Webster, it is the art or practice of planning and supervising the design and execution of architectural interiors and their furnishings. Do check out the video above that was carefully curated and compiled with awesome photos of an interior furnishings of a show unit in Penang. It was just a sample to whet your appetite in investing for a home there by looking at the beautifully designed interiors of a show unit from a developer of a condominium unit, near Queensbay mall, Penang. They are top-class furnishings, making the place look cozy with all the colorful embellishments and home furnishings, that complement each other.

Merry Christmas from me to YOU and from Jean Thomason of Momentum Influencers December 23, 2020 bizadmin Above is a very beautifully decorated home of Jean Thomason from Momentum Influencers network, of which I am a member too. As usual, in this yuletide season, the traditional theme is red and green with some glitter of gold in between. Check out her video and I have especially put in here to receive her very positive vibes and season of celebration. Jean is very encouraging and a Youtuber too. In the meantime, do check out my Christmas greeting creation below using a cloud website, which I did 2 days ago. Simple animations and music were added for that Christmas feel. Below is another version of the video done by yours truly in the wee hours of dawn, past midnight. Enjoy! As Youtube does not allow links to be added to the video, therefore, I use Vimeo instead to showcase my work. Behind all the celebratory message of Christmas, the true meaning was that baby Jesus was born to be crucified and died on the cross to save mankind from their sins, and to give us an eternal life in heaven. Indeed, every word of God is life to human beings and Man shall not live by bread alone; but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. I thank God for this salvation to mankind from curses, sins, disease, and such. Hope you like the picture below from my Instagram account on God. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year in 2021! Stay safe and stay at home to celebrate.
Abbreviated Subscriber Counts on YouTube April 24, 2020 bizadmin [abc] As you likely have heard by now, as of September 2019, YouTube will be abbreviating subscriber counts everywhere except in a creator’s private studio dashboard. This will cause the subscriber number everywhere it is publicly shown, including on Social Blade, to be shortened to only three leading digits max. Read on to learn a little more about the change and how to adapt to this new change when looking at data on Social Blade. For the purposes of the screenshots below we have backdated YouTube’s change to Sept 2018 in order to show you what things will look like before they actually go live on YouTube. The actual website will show live data up to the point when YouTube flips the switch. User Summary Pages [abc] The top half of the User Summary page has a new look to it but is still mostly the same data as you’re used to with the addition of the graphs. The new graphs feature how many subscribers (left) or views (right) the channel got each week over the past year. Looking at this gives you an at the glancing look of the health of the channel over the past year and some areas to explore in more detail. For example in the above graphs, you can see how PewDiePie’s subscriber growth slowed down for several months but recently picked back up as he started playing Minecraft. His view graph also spiked during this change. The table in the middle of the summary page is where you’ll notice the most changes. Depending on the size of the channel and how fast they’re growing you’ll see a wide range of data points. If a channel is growing fast (relative to it’s size) you’ll see almost daily subscriber updates, but if a channel isn’t growing fast anymore (maybe an older channel that has slowed down) you may see subscriber updates every few days, weeks, or even months or years. It should be noted that at least currently, YouTube has chosen to leave views as the exact number so those will be updated every day. [abc] In the example above it shows PewDiePie got 1M subscribers on September 8th. Since we have the real data still we obviously know this isn’t true. We are then left to either A) put a 1M subs gained on Sept 8th since that is when YouTube told us his sub count changed from 100M to 101M, or B) smooth the data out from the last sub count update which is already off the chart. We have chosen to take option A since neither way is fully correct, but option A at least uses the data that was given to us rather than guess, potentially very wrongly, about how many subs were gained each day in the past. For example that 1M really could have happened on a single date and if we smoothed it out across the previous days that would be wrong. We do smooth this data out though in the graphs at the top and the summary page where you can view the data weekly/monthly instead of just daily. [abc] Detailed Statistics Pages The last thing we wanted to highlight in this change is the new graphs on the detailed statistics page. We’re going to be doing some further changes to this soon too, but at launch, the screenshots you see here will be how things look for the most part. The first four graphs you will see highlight on a weekly basis the growth of the channel on both subscribers and views. The top two graphs show how many have been gained or lost during that week (a bigger version of what is on the summary page), while the bottom two show the running total. [abc] The next four graphs require you to have a Silver or higher subscription to view daily data. Inside these daily graphs (green to indicate they are a premium feature) you’ll be able to see a couple of years back of daily data regarding subscriber and view growth. One thing to note though is the daily subscriber data will end on the date YouTube flips the switch so we’re calling it legacy or historical. The last graphs on the page are pretty straight forward, a history of the channel over the past few years in monthly form. These should look very similar to the weekly but on a wider basis to smooth data even more. One last general thing to note about almost all of the graphs is you can click and drag drawing a box to zoom in on any portion of the graph you want to see in more detail. [abc] The Day of the Change One final thing to note is, on the day of the change (simulated to Sept 8th in the example above) is you will see a substantial drop in subscribers for most channels. In the example above T-Series loses 150k subs when typically you can see they are gaining. This is because when YouTube switched to an abbreviated subscriber counts 111,155,817 for example changes to 111,000,000. All those subscribers (most likely) aren’t REALLY lost, but as far as anyone outside of T-Series knows they are because YouTube has removed the full count. We will leave an (i) on the table to indicate this for the time being. The New Normal Really at the end of the day, the only thing that won’t work anymore is the real-time subscriber counter. Or more specifically it will work, but it will be very boring (unless you have less than 1000 subscribers) for most channels unless you know the counter is about to change. The good thing though is you can always get a perfect screenshot as once a milestone is reached it won’t change for a while! So that about sums things up. While we’re not happy that YouTube has chosen to go forward with these changes despite the overwhelming opposition from the community we have adapted the site to support them. We want to thank the community for all of their support over the past few months surrounding this issue and to let you know we’re not going anywhere! Social Blade may not have exact subscriber numbers anymore, but other then real-time, you’ll still be able to enjoy almost all of the same features and since everyone is affected the same way channel data will still be comparable!

Video of water-theme taken at Datai golf and country club and sunway pyramid’s buffet counter February 13, 2020 bizadmin The above video was assembled by me using an old video maker software for a 32-bit computer. That shows how old my laptop is and some of the keys have missing alphabets. This is a video of a water theme taken at Datai golf and country club in Langkawi and Sunway Pyramid’s buffet counter in Kuala Lumpur with a scene of the man-made waterfall among faux rocks. Using an old 32-bit video maker, I managed to combine 2 videos but was unable to add music to them. I had to purchase the tracks, which I refuse since I have Camtasia that I am going to install into the new computer using Windows 10 OS. [abc] I hope you like, subscribe and comment on the channel of Diana Tan’s Youtube and watch the video to the end. It is short, unlike some videos taking from 10 to 20 minutes long. This is my simple video created for posterity and to leverage in the future. As the Big G had mentioned, it prefers to have videos incorporated into blogs than just text or pictures. This is a new trend. So, I hope you enjoy my simple creation and I took a while to figure things out on my own using this Cyberlink Power Director. There is much other software for video creation like Content Samurai, Camtasia and more. Well, you will learn something here as you read my blog for knowledge. Happy watching and getting entertained. By the way, these are old videos taken from my iPhone X. [abc]
