On, Rejet announced and launched a new project that happening within the same universe as Diabolik Lovers, titled Carnelian Blood ( Japanese: カーネリアンブラッド, Hepburn: Kānerian Buraddo) featuring thea 5-man unit called EROSION.

If you find yourself utterly disgusted or on the opposite end, turned on, I encourage you in either scenario to close the episode and take a nice walk outside after having set fire to your eyeballs for a few minutes.Diabolik Lovers ( Japanese: ディアボリックラヴァーズ, Hepburn: Diaborikku Ravāzu) is a Japanese visual novel franchise by Rejet. But be warned: there's many a disturbing scene. If you really want to watch this show, then go ahead. It's such a shame, people actually having to properly flesh out characters and story lines rather than rely on the source material that not everyone has access to. It's almost as if I, just one among many many people, don't have the console required to play it, on top of not knowing Japanese which is not a language you learn in a day. Oh, I don't know why! I honestly don't know why. But what are we not reviewing? The game! "So why not just play the game and review that instead, Rory?" you're probably wondering. And to be 100% honest, there is a fair amount of characterization in the Sakamaki brothers that makes sense once you know their backgrounds, something that's way more fleshed out in the game. It makes more sense in the game, but we're not reviewing the game. And throughout the show, all this abuse and mental torture is subtly portrayed as sexy and desirable. Which is sad because that just tells you how horrible the boys are. I honestly think that Yui is extremely strong for keeping up with them for so long. Oh, dear.where do I even begin with how unhealthy this is? It basically takes the whole concept of "No means no" and pours it down the drain, which is a mentality that countless people have fought against for so many years only to have it be essentially PROMOTED in a show aimed at horny teenage girls! Many people criticize Yui for being such a weakling, but I would like you to think of it this way: she's nice, she wouldn't swat a fly, and these boys will LITERALLY RAPE HER TO DEATH AND/OR SUCK OUT ALL HER BLOOD IF SHE TRIES TO LEAVE OR FIGHT AGAINST THEM. Kudos to all the voice actors, artists, and musicians that worked on this! Aaaaand that's about it for my praises. If you really wanna watch this, I recommend subbed. And the voice acting was incredible-especially in the subbed! The dubbed was okay, but in all honesty the voices don't really fit the characters (mainly Kanato and Laito). I would just like to say that I adore the music and the art. ![]() Yes, it all makes more sense when you've played the game and all that, and based on what I've read the game is way better. Let me tell you, as someone who was once a die-hard fan of this show, I look back on this and I just want to scream. ![]()

The mountains on the horizon are on the Continental Divide, about 20 miles away. This is the final and toughest section, where the trail becomes rockier as it climbs to the viewpoint through ponderosa pine forest.įinally, you’ll reach Panorama Point, where a bouldery ledge and a gap in the trees grants the expansive view. Signs lead to the next section of Panorama Point Trail, which is hiker-only once again. The route joins Bear Creek Trail briefly, where you may encounter a mountain biker or two. Wildflowers are spectacular here in early summer, and the leaves brilliant in the fall. Near the head of this valley, the forest opens into green meadows and groves of aspen, and the terrain levels out somewhat. The hike begins in a forested valley beside a trickling stream, heading gradually upwards. It's open all year but is usually snowy from December through March. The trail is just the right steepness for a good workout without being too exhausting. It is a wide path, easy to follow and well-signed, but not super easy to hike because it’s all uphill. Unlike most trails in the area, mountain bikes are not allowed on this one, which makes it generally less crowded. The one called Panorama Point Trailhead is the best for hikers. Many trails intertwine between the different parks in this canyon, and you can reach Panorama Point from multiple trailheads. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The last I heard is that he has started another church/ministry. The very annoying thing is that this man doesn’t seem like he cares. You need to see the anger on that form.ĥ. We even created a Google form for former members to register their displeasure. They were even urging is to go ahead and publish. We spoke with everyone who mattered, even up to the former pastors. I joined hands with two other journalists and we investigated the matter. I had meetings with some of the top leaders in the ministry. So, when I started hearing the rumours, I took steps to investigate.

I have invited him to my local church before to minister, and even pushed that he be invited to our national camp. I have taken teenagers to this ministry and confidently told them to join that this place would be best for them. I have been a teen leader/counsellor in this area for close to 15years, and so, I feel deeply connected to this issue. This is because I so much respect this man, and his ministry. In fact their biggest programme is tagged ‘Virginity Day’ where they have marches all around the country and even abroad to promote sexual purity.ģ. This is a ministry that is built on the idea of sexual purity. Pastor Timi Adigun, who founded MINE teens ministry was being accused of having abused not one, not two, but several girls in his ministry. This is a church that started in this area, and has grown to become the biggest teens movement in the country.Ģ.

Now, on to the questions! While your church survey questions may vary, here are some popular questions to consider asking congregants. Essential 40 Questions to Ask on Church Surveys Results could be posted online, in the church newsletter, or discussed prior to services. ![]() ![]() This lets them know that church leadership values their feedback and strives to make improvements. It’s a good idea to let survey participants know if their opinions led to new policies or initiatives. Of course, one of the great things about online surveys? You can email them at any time, not waiting for any given Sunday (read about 12 more advantages of online surveys here). You might consider one survey solicitation per person per month. Spread out your surveys over a period of time to avoid survey burnout. Don’t Over-SurveyĬongregants are bound to become annoyed if you’re surveying them every Sunday. Why not collect as much feedback as possible? Limiting responses only to your specific list of questions could result in you missing out on some important feedback or some great ideas. If you’re planning out a sermon strategy, ask questions about whether congregants are feeling spiritually fed during weekend services and what they’d like to hear more about. For example, if you’re planning the church budget, ask about what programs congregants feel are most important and if they plan to give. So, think about what’s most important for each survey. You don’t want to overwhelm congregants with too many questions. For example, is your congregation trending young? Sermons may need to be adjusted to appeal to these generations. This way, church leadership can track trends and understand exactly who their audience is. Your survey should ask about age, gender, marital status, income, residence, and other basic information such as frequency and years of attendance. Tips for Church Satisfaction Surveysīefore creating your church survey, here are a few things to keep in mind: Collect Demographic Information Understanding how people feel about church activities and the church, in general, can help church leaders make adjustments that may re-engage congregants or attract new members. If congregants are actively looking for another church, and if so, why.How congregants feel about financially supporting the church.If attendance has changed due to preaching styles or particular teachings.Whether congregants disagree with preaching styles or particular teachings.If congregants feel welcomed by the church.Whether congregants get the feeling of community from the church.If people feel they’re being “spiritually fed”.Overall satisfaction levels with doctrine and programs.What are some of the reasons to conduct a church survey? Church leadership may want to understand the following: When conducting a survey, you can target regular church attendees, or survey the community as a whole to see what you may be able to do to entice others to join (at SurveyLegend, we recommend using separate surveys to keep the survey relatively short and avoid questions that may be irrelevant on one survey or the other). But, to truly benefit from the experience of going to church, most want to feel a connection to the mission of the church. Many people join a church because they want to be part of a community and achieve spiritual growth. In this blog, we’ll look at why church leaders should consider a church survey and some of the questions to consider including.Ĭreate your church survey, poll, or questionnaire now! Why Conduct a Church Survey? Considering a church survey? With membership in houses of worship continuing to decline ( church membership fell below the majority for the first time in 2020, to 47%, down from 50% in 2018 and 70% in 1999) now may be a good time to survey the flock to find out if they’re satisfied with church services and more. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, if you have a lot of data to check and then transfer and the external failures more frequent, then the likelihood of hitting one increases and things start to go wrong. If the external connections are reliable and the backup is quite fast the likelihood of hitting one of the nasty spots in the code is low. However, I imagine that there are places in the code where there are race conditions, or critical portions where external failure really makes a difference. The software will be designed to withstand a certain amount of external failure, especially when connecting to disks over WiFi as the Time Capsule is designed to do. my disk has 196 Gb of data, much of it in smaller document files (word docs, code files, etc.), not just a few giant movies.So guessing there is an additional factor: However, if every laptop failed as often surely Apple would have fixed it by now. maybe the WiFi aerial on a laptop is not as good as the desktop.it may go to sleep occasionally, breaking connection to the Time Capsule.I am guessing the problem I have is because I use a laptop so possible reasons: In fact lovefibre has found Time Machine flawless for her desktop machine backing up to exactly the same Time Capsule. ![]() Lesson 2: for very long processes supplement the progress indicator with some other indicator to show things are still working, in this case perhaps amount transferred in last minuteĪt this point I did the normal things, turn Time Machine On/Off, restart machine a couple of times, etc., but when it persists then you know something is deeply wrong. Of course progress indicators are never very good for very slow operations, when transferring several GB of data there may be several minutes before the bar even moves a pixel … but I was very very patient and it definitely did not move! Then (after being very very patient while to was ‘preparing’ for four hours), I saw it got stuck in step (ii) at 1.4 GB or 4.2 GB. When I got home and told Time Machine to backup to the Time Capsule here rather than my office disk (why can’t it remember that I have two backup disks?). In the days before Time Machine I always did a manual backup before travelling as I knew that was when things were most likely to go wrong, but now-a-days I have got used to relying on it and forget to check it is working OK … so if you are paranoid about your data, do peek occasionally at Time Machine to check it is still working! This last time in fact the first sign was (iii), but it doesn’t actually tell you (if you don’t look) until it has failed for ten days, by which time I was travelling. (iii) if you look in the Time Machine preferences it says the backup has failed (ii) it starts to transfer to disk, but then gets stuck part way: (i) it is still saying ‘preparing’ after leaving it overnight! However, at least half-a-dozen times over the last year, my Time Machine has got completely stuck. So, when you see ‘preparing’, just be patient! Lesson 1: make sure you include progress indicators for anything that can take a while, not just the obvious ‘slow’ things. This is when it is running over the disk working out what it needs to backup, and always seems to be the lengthiest operation, actually backing up the disk is often quite fast, and yet, for some reason there is no indication of how far through the ‘preparing’ process it has got. You can tell it is ‘preparing’ because when you open the Time Machine preferences there is the little barbers pole saying ‘preparing’ □ When you first do a backup, or when you haven’t backed up to a particular disk for ages (perhaps if you have been away on a trip), it can spend several hours ‘preparing’. Occasionally Time Machine seems to be stuck, but isn’t really. … and throughout I’ve dropped in a few lessons for anyone implementing critical system software - maybe the odd Apple engineer is reading how to tell when things are wrong This is my own story of how it goes wrong … and how to put it right. What bit of software do you really need to be reliable? If anything else goes really wrong you have the backup - but if the backup fails you really are lost.Īnd Mac OS X Time Machine, while it does have a very pretty interface, is inclined to get stuck sometimes. Unfortunately only fixing Mac OS X backup, not the Tardis □ … but, nonetheless, critical. ![]() ![]() He had begun in search of answers, but now he had even forgotten the questions. When the boy had first crossed into Everlost, his wanderings had a purpose. On the occasions that he did come across packs of other Afterlight kids, he would listen to them from his hiding spot as they shared with each other the rumors of monsters, so he knew as well as any other Afterlight what lay in store for the unwary. Without camaraderie and friendship to remind him who he was, he forgot his identity more quickly than most. The boy was a wanderer, solitary and silent, hiding from others who crossed his path, for fear of what they might do to him. ![]() He had died about two years earlier, and, having lost his way to the light, he slept for nine months, then had woken up in Everlost. His name is unimportant-so unimportant that he himself had forgotten it-and less important still, because in a brief time he will be gone forever. On a day much like any other in Everlost, one boy was about to find out if those rumors were true. They are the life’s blood of the bloodless world that lies between life and death. In a world where memories bleach clean from the fabric of time, rumors become more important than that which is actually known. And there were whispers of a terrible ogre made entirely of chocolate, who lured unsuspecting souls with that rich promising smell, only to cast them down a bottomless pit from which there was no return. There was the rumor of a beautiful sky witch, who soared across the heavens in a great silver balloon. ![]() Of terrible things, of wonderful things, of events too immense to keep to oneself, and so they were quietly shared from soul to soul, one Afterlight to another, until every Afterlight in Everlost had heard them. ![]() ![]() ![]() We also provide free customer support if you have any problems when you are using Light Gallery.
