Spiritual Formationįrom an early age Janette attended Sunday School, Church and Vacation Bible School with her mother and siblings at the small church in Hoadley. But over the years following, God blessed their lives with four children, Terry, twins Lavon and Lorne, and a daughter Laurel. That was followed by the death of a baby boy in the early hours of his life. Her first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. Janette and Edward’s first attempts at having a family were difficult. Edward then pastored Missionary churches in Indiana, Calgary, and Edmonton before being appointed president of the Mountain View Bible College in Didsbury. Edward attended seminary in Indiana while Janette worked. At nineteen years of age she went to Mountain View Bible College in Didsbury, Alberta, from which she graduated in 1957.Īlso in 1957 she married Edward Oke. Her education was interrupted by sickness in the family and she took a job at a local bank instead of finishing high school. She loved her daddy, horses, playing farms and roads in the dirt with nails and string, listening to her sister tell stories, reading about the pioneers, and acting out the plots of western movies with a friend. She and her siblings walked two and a half miles to a one-room school. Her favourite toy was a homemade dollhouse, painted by her older sisters to look like her mother’s kitchen. Her first memory was of her siblings chasing gophers (Richardson ground squirrels). Janette’s childhood was happy and typical of a prairie youngster’s. ![]() During those Great Depression years the large family moved from the Champion area and settled on a farm at Hoadley, Alberta. 2 She grew up a middle child with an older brother, three older and, eventually, three younger sisters. Janette Oke (née Steeves) was born on Februto Fred and Amy Steeves in the family’s log house near Champion, Alberta. ![]() “… Writing was not just a dream, nor was it a remarkable commodity of words-it was a ministry for a world hungry for the knowledge of the God who loves them.” 1 Early years She is, indeed, one of Canada’s most beloved storytellers.

![]() In 2013 the analysis company TechCrunch showed that a whopping 22% of all Tumblr content was pornographic in nature, but this makes sense given the variety of communities that felt safe to flourish there and the broad definition of “pornographic” applied to the site’s content. Despite its popularity however, Tumblr has had a rocky history, especially with its handling of adult content. Everybody has their own favorite social media platforms, but Tumblr users are an even more devoted group than normal, with the site now hosting almost 500 million blogs and over 21 million posts occurring every day. ![]() Tumblr is a microblogging platform started in 2007 and now owned by Automattic (the company responsible for ). Tumblr "Safe Mode" for PC, Mac, and Linux usersĪ brief history of Tumblr's content filter Want to jump straight to the guide? Click the links below, or read on for an overview of what Tumblr's "Safe Mode" really is. ![]() This article provides an overview of the history of Tumblr and the evolution of its Safe Mode feature, and a comprehensive guide for accessing restricted content. Unfortunately for those hoping for a latter option, there is none, but for those willing to take a few extra steps it is possible to still view “explicit” content hosted on Tumblr. All I really wanted was to get Tumblr back into a somewhat usable shape when it comes to NSFW content (even though it will probably never be like it once was).There is a lot of conflicting information on Tumblr’s “Safe Mode” (the content filter which hides explicit content from Tumblr search) as well as extensive user interest in the possibility of navigating around, or turning off, said mode. So if something doesn't work or somebody with more knowledge than me figures out a better way to do it, please share. W all you need to do is:and I pretty much figured this out through sheer dumb luck after fiddling with the extension for 20 minutes. It should work both if the URL you clicked is trying to take you to a blog homepage and if the URL is trying to take you to a specific post on a blog (but as far as I'm aware, links to specific posts don't work when using the "sidebar view", so the redirect will just bring you to the blog homepage no matter what). ![]() There you go! Your Settings page should look like this: Repeat Steps 6, 7, and 8 exactly how they are In the Include pattern: field paste: *.%2F* (notice the plain http after safe-mode?url=, don't change the https at the beginning) In the Example URL: field, grab the URL you used for Step 3 and paste it in, except you want to change https to http, again after the /safe-mode?url= part (don't change the https at the beginning) Make sure Pattern type: is set to "Wildcard"įinally, make sure there are no spaces at the beginnings or ends of the code you pasted, and then hit Save. In the Include pattern: field paste: *.%2F* Make sure it says https at the beginning and also after the /safe-mode?url= part if it doesn't, add the "s" manually (we'll create a second redirect for plain http URLs in a minute) In the Example URL: field, grab any URL from a Safe Mode page and paste it in. Open up the Settings page, click "Create new redirect" (This guide assumes that your browser is set to normally use https, as pretty much all modern up-to-date browsers are) The extension is called (fittingly) Redirector. So it should work with pretty much all major browsers. And I found a way to do that thanks to a great browser extension! I've only tested this on Opera but apparently the extension is available on Chrome (so it should work on all Chromium-based browsers), Firefox, and a dedicated version for Opera even though Opera is based on Chromium. Now obviously this doesn't give you the functionality of a dedicated tumblr blog page, this only gives you the "sidebar view" of a tumblr that you would get when you click on a blog from your dashboard, but I don't know any way around that.īasically having to change the URL manually every time sucked big time, but I figured there had to be a way to automatically redirect the first URL to the second URL somehow. Previously if you wanted to bypass safe mode you would have to manually modify the URL from something like: ![]() Released in 1991, the first version of Pro Tools was based around a similar hardware-software hybrid setup to Sound Tools, this time with a four-channel interface. The Sound Tools system's stereo audio features were groundbreaking, but the move to multitrack recording with the release of the Pro Tools system was a logical progression for Digidesign. Brooks built an expansion card equipped with a 16-bit DA converter and a prototype Motorola DSP chip, allowing Sound Designer to use the DSP chip rather than the computer's CPU for its audio editing.Īfter showing off the prototype at the NAMM trade show, Digidesign set about developing a full audio input, output and processing system, eventually producing the 16-bit Sound Accelerator card, DAT-I/O digital interface and AD In analogue interface. The solution came in 1987 with the release of the Macintosh II, complete with six NuBus expansion slots. "With the pros catered for, Digidesign began to target the budget-conscious consumer." Even carrying out very basic edits meant having to wait for the computer to process the signal, making for an infuriating stop-start workflow. ![]() Hooking up a separate 16-bit interface to the Mac, it then became apparent that any serious signal processing was going to push the computer's processor to its absolute limit. Sound Tools, released in 1989, was Digidesign's first attempt at a computer-based hardware direct-to-disk recording solution with a software front end.Įssentially, Brooks and Gotcher wanted to design a digital recording solution based on what they'd learned from Sound Designer but decided the Mac's 8-bit AD/DA conversion capabilities weren't up to scratch. Having successfully mastered software sample editing, a fully featured digital audio recording and processing solution was, in retrospect, the logical next step. Released in 1985 at a price of $995, Sound Designer brought the visual editing features of exotic instruments like the Synclavier and Fairlight to a much larger market.Īlthough at this stage sampling was beyond the reach of most consumers and amateur musicians, Digidesign developed new versions of the software for each new sampler that hit the market, eventually releasing a Universal application, which could be used with all the most popular hardware by the likes of Akai, Roland and E-MU. Working in conjunction with E-MU, Digidrums changed its name to Digidesign and began work developing a groundbreaking Mac-based sample editing system for the Emulator II keyboard. ![]() Despite their primary interest in making their own lives easier, it soon became apparent that the software should be developed for general release. Identifying the audio potential of the newly released Macintosh computer, they set about creating basic digital audio recording and editing software for their own use. ![]() Having recorded the Digidrums samples on Sony's videotape-based PCM-F1 digital recording processor, the duo were keen to find a less cumbersome and more flexible option. Luckily, they were already working on a solution. However, Brooks and Gotcher anticipated that users would soon crave more than just a selection of alternative preset sounds. Digidrums' hugely successful range of chips were simple enough for Drumulator owners to swap in and out as desired, offering everything from Simmons electronic drum sounds to John Bonham-inspired 'heavy metal' samples. The choice you have today, is to define for yourself, the definition of freedom." This choice is far tougher than dealing with winds that will toss you around. You have a choice, one which I know you will make wisely, this choice is far tougher than dealing with creatures trying to make you their prey. ![]() You see, freedom isn't measured by what boundaries surround you, but by what boundaries you have inside. I came in here because I knew you were going to be here, I came here because I knew, what you wanted out of life, and what you really dreamed your life could be. The New Fly said "The world will tell you that the place for flies is out there, among the grass, the trees and the flowers, yet some how, you find comfort in this environment. The fly thought, how could this fly know what I am thinking? You can choose to see the outside world as something that you desire, or you can see it as full of peril, in either choice, you are correct" The New Fly continued "Now, you may wonder, if this is real, or all some sort of a dream, the choice it truly yours. The fly thought what strange thought for a fly, am I dreaming this or is it real? When we are faced with something new, our habits tell us to return to what was, never thinking if this is the best, or only familiar." "We each have an opportunity to look at our lives from a perspective of familiar things. "My Friend, you are on a path that very few know about, or care to learn". Just as fly got close, the new fly began to speak. The new fly showed a great respect for its life journey. There was something different about this new fly that the fly couldn't really describe what it was. Then as if by magic, another fly comes through the open door. The fly thought and thought, wondering what should I do. The voice that takes quiet reflection of the quest. The kind of voice, for many the labors of the world drown out. Why do I not like, or enjoy where I am right this moment?Īs the fly thought, and flew with the greatest of ease, it heard a quite voice inside. There were lights, and water and shelter in a thousand different directions. No creatures that saw its only value as prey. No winds to toss around at the whim of the wind. It then took a short tour of the area that it was in. It thought quite clearly, what does freedom mean?Īs the fly pondered this new revelation, it thought back to the days of being outside.Īll the days of peril, contrary winds and creatures who's whole life existence depended on devouring flies. While the fly pondered going through the door, or going out the window. One hour of thinking can save us weeks of unnecessary work. Let us try and find out easier way of working. Let us find out ways to improve how we do things. Let us spend some time and "think" about what we are doing. They just won't think the way achievers think. They will never be able to travel the world or quit their jobs.īut why won't most people succeed? Because they won't do the things that successful people do. They will never be able to become a part of the elite Internet marketing group and enjoy their beautiful lifestyle. They will keep hitting against the window, but never try to look for the doorĪnd sadly, they will never achieve the freedom that they want. MOST Internet marketers are like that fly. When I read this story, it really struck me hard. Just a shift in thoughts could have easily given our friend the freedom it so badly desired. The fly did not even try to look for that door. ![]() Just a few seconds of flying time could get it what it wanted - FREEDOM! If it continued doing what it was doing, it would die a sad death on the window sill.Īcross the room, just a few feet away, there was an open door. But no matter what, it was impossible for it to try hard enough to achieve that break-through. ![]() The fly believed that going through the window was the only way to get to the land of dreams. The whining wings were telling the poignant story of the fly's strategy - ' try harder.' Our fly was so desperate to become free, that it tried harder and harder to break through the glass. It could see lots of other flies outside enjoying complete freedom. This fly was hitting against the glass of a closed window, trying to get out of the room, into the beautiful world outside. Long time ago I read a beautiful story of a fly in a room. ![]() In this online writing course, you can quickly identify your writing weaknesses, understand the principles, and fix and improve it significantly.ĥ) Essay Essentials: Improve Your Academic Writing (Udemy) It will also help you learn how to add those ingredients skillfully.Īt the end of this online writing course, you will have a good grasp of how professional writers create powerful and beautiful prose.

"I suggested to Malky that there might be some things men should not invent." Off to the west, there was the river, the plantations. Leto could feel the man drawing away, no longer content to march beside his Lord's cowled face, no longer trying to match himself to his master's destiny. Moneo moved as he had always moved, one foot ahead of another, aware of the ground where he would place each step, but there was something new in the majordomo. It turned now to begin the climb onto Ringwall West. The procession had come off the first gentle incline. Leto looked away from her and focused on Moneo's back, the motions of the majordomo, the tucked-in pretenses of secrecy so apparent there. He taught me that there was a reason for running away from inventions." And although he denied it, he spoke the truth. ![]() The trembling of his hands could be felt all through his front segment.
