Q: Connect Angular 2 with sails.js I'm trying to connect my Angular 2 with sails using angular2-sails using the following line:
this.sailor = this._sailsService.connect("http://localhost:1337");

I did import sails.io.js in my angular 2 appplication index.html:
<script src="/assets/scripts/sails.io.js"></script>

Added SailsModule in my app.module.ts:
    import {SailsModule} from "angular2-sails";
..
    SailsModule.forRoot(

And in my component:
import {SailsService} from "angular2-sails";
...
constructor(private _sailsService:SailsService) {
}

ngOnInit() {
    this._sailsService.connect("http://localhost:1337");
  }

What sort of birthday invitation? The main point to build here is that you need to think beyond the box--the mail box. These days, birthday invitations could be delivered via e-mail/internet, particular delivery, or by regular mail, and each method will have its own cost implications. The possibilities for the format of your birthday invitation are also larger than you might think. E birthday invitations are both very cheap, or they are no cost. They are easily available on the internet and are easy to send. If you decide to send the birthday invitation in this manner afterward make sure that you have all your recipients' e-mail details.

In January of 1998, Mike began operating as a sole proprietor, doing business as Simplicity Ministries®, on a part-time basis, while completing two Masters Degrees at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Simplicity Ministries® was then moved to Laredo, Texas, in January of 1999 while Mike's wife ("to be" at the time), Debbie completed a three year commitment of service as Baptist Student Ministries Director on the campuses of Laredo Community College and Texas A&M International University. Simplicity Ministries® incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit on August 10, 1999.
In March of 2001, God relocated the ministry to its current home in Gresham, OR.


Jesus' first sermon was in a synagogue. He took a text from Isaiah 61, and preached several verses. That first sermon was a textural sermon. Jesus continued preaching on hillsides, from a boat, sitting at a dinner table with publicans, walking through a marketplace, from a garden, at a tomb site, hanging from a cross. Jesus was not limited to standing behind a pulpit, not limited to a congregation of more than 500, and not concerned with formal style nor with the eloquence of wording.
Jesus loved to preach, and taught whether it was two or three in the congregation, or thousands. His sermons are memorable, were often accompanied with signs, wonders, and miracles. Sinners challenged His Words, some slept through His messages, but His sermons should be studied, and with them, we should gain understanding of how to preach a great message.
In the Lenten season, preceding the events we commemorate of passion week, i.e. the sacrifice for our atonement, on the cross by Jesus, and His three day later resurrection in victory over sin and death, there is much for us to consider.
Jesus, in the time preceding those events spent that initial Lenten season alone, separated with His disciples, preaching to that small group about some vital information. If we look in the New Testament, we see in that Lenten season, some of the words of Jesus to His disciples.
Matthew 16:25 shows Jesus preached that whoever wants to save his life shall lose it.
This would be a vital lesson that the disciples did not fully realize till after the events of passion week. Jesus was preparing them with this truth though.
Jesus explained to them the ministry of being a servant, ready to minister for others, not 'lording over', but in being the servant, sacrificing for others. Jesus would soon illustrate that truth to them.
Jesus taught them, in their private time, that it is difficult to enter the kingdom of God, and again the difficulties that He would soon illustrate, would reinforce this truth.
Jesus knew His departure to heaven would take place in about three months, so His sermons there in Ephriam expressed the truth, that the Holy Spirit would soon come, and be their Companion in their ministry times.
The Holy Spirit was to come and do the comforting work that Jesus had been doing. Yet, He would be able to do it for all disciples in the world, and do the convicting of all sin in this world. Jesus preached much about this One to come during the first Lenten season.
The disciples probably assumed Jesus was in Ephriam hiding from those seeking to kill Him, but He was there explaining truths to them, to help them in the time of the passion week, and for their own ministry times following those events.
JESUS DEPARTED TO EPHRIAM FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS, TO HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO PREPARE THE DISCIPLES FOR THE EVENTS OF PASSION WEEK.
Just days prior to the raising of Lazarus, which angered the religious leaders of that day so much, that they put our a warrant and death sentence decision for Jesus, we find Jesus preaching in the Temple, and attempts to stone Him are plotted and attempted.
Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, Where is He? And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but He deceiveth the people. Howbeit no man spake openly of Him for fear of the Jews. Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
The devil plots in the minds of the religious leaders of Jerusalem, to have Jesus taken and stoned according to Jewish law. John records what he and the disciples are seeing, just prior to the first Lenten season. They are aware that the life of Jesus, and even of themselves, is now in great jeopardy.
The people of Jerusalem are aware fully that there is a plot to take Jesus, and have Him stoned to death.
The plot is made, their intent is obvious, but God puts hindrances to their execution of the plot.
Even the townspeople of Jerusalem become divided, some wanting to condone the stoning, some against it.
So there was a division among the people because of Him. And some of them would have taken Him; but no man laid hands on Him.
This first day of evil intent upon the life of Jesus must have put fear into the disciples. The fear of Peter on the night of the betrayal was several months later than this, but here, earlier, the fear begins to grow in the disciples, for they see the plot unfolding, and the intent of the chief priests spreading amidst the people.
The disciples all decide to take the night off, away from Jesus. No one wants to even invite Jesus to their home to sleep. So, Jesus goes off to the mount of Olives, and there in that wooded olive garden, Jesus sleeps alone. The fear and concern for their own lives is evident. Jesus will need to take the disciples off alone, and there teach them, so their faith and knowledge of God's plan can begin to soak in. As we know happened, even the first Lenten season's teachings in Ephriam did not fully sink in, till after the resurrection.
WHEN JESUS RETURNED THE NEXT MORNING, THERE WAS A PLOT TO TRY TO GET AN EXCUSE TO STONE HIM.
Stoning Jesus was on their minds, and so a woman worthy of being stoned is brought to Him. He is questioned, and they hoped Jesus would fall into their trap, so they could stone Him.
Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned, but what sayest Thou?
A woman, caught in adultery, is brought before the Lord, as He is preaching this sermon. A charge against her is made, and Jesus is challenged for His opinion on what should be done to her.
The law was plain. Yet, even these accusers were neglectful. If she was 'caught' in the act, there had to be a male accomplice. He too was guilty of adultery. Where was he? Perhaps it had been a set up, and one of the accusers was the guilty one.
Perhaps they lured this adulteress, set her up, so they could present her to Jesus, hoping this loving Man would be merciful, and let her live. Perhaps the male accomplice was a friend, and they were merciful to him themselves. Whatever the story, they had neglected to hold the man to the same standard, the same possible punishment, as the woman.
These judgmental ones wanted Jesus to stoop to their level, and help them stone this woman. In the end of this sermon, they attempt to stone Jesus. This is also typical of things that happen in today's church. If the preacher counsels intercession and mercy, the judgmental ones turn on the preacher.
The bigoted, judgmental ones often will seek vengeance on the preacher, and all the preacher has truly done is be merciful, seek salvation not vengeance, on the sinners that the judgmental ones want to see punished.
Had Jesus contradicted Moses, contradicted the law of Leviticus 20:10, He would have been condemned to be a false prophet. They could, at that point, have stoned both Jesus and the woman.
Had Jesus judged the woman to be worthy of death, then Jesus would have been accused to the Romans as taking authority only given to them by their law, and be crucified by them for murder of the woman.
Jesus bowing, pretending not to be paying attention, writing with His finger on the ground, was a tradition of that day of embarrassment. Finally, He speaks to those who were the accusers, and speaks directly to their inner spirit. Their consciences are quickened, resurrected from the deadness of callousness. Convinced of their own sins, knowing that they were as worthy of death as was she, they began to slip away. The eldest went first, probably having the most sins due to their more years.
Since they had continued to ask, Jesus said the sinless ones should first cast a stone. What He had been writing upon the ground must have awakened their consciences. Their sins may have been what Jesus wrote, or the laws that they had broken may have been the text of that handwritten sermon on the ground. Whatever it was, it was a concern for themselves, and they quickly began to leave the scene.
The day preceding this event, was filled with their plotting, their evil plan seeking a way to unfold, but even though they had made some headway in getting some of the townsfolk to agree Jesus should be stoned, they had no excuse that would hold up, with which to do it.
They are scared off now with the words of Jesus here, when they had brought the adulterous woman to Him. Yet, they return shortly, with a vengeance, and attempt to inspire a stoning. This time the victim is not the repentant woman, it is the Lord Jesus Himself. They stir up the crowd, they twist the truthful message of Jesus, and attempt to turn the crowd against Him, as they had tried to turn Jesus against the woman.
The day prior, they had sought to encourage the idea of stoning. The next day, they are back with evil plans to bring about the stoning.
The plan involving the woman ended in their consciences stirring to the realization,, that they were needing mercy themselves. They wanted no mercy, no intercession, for the woman, but they were not willing to let the handwritten sermon of Jesus be testimony against their own sins. Their anger is indescribable. Their blindness to truth, to the mercy of God, to the love of the Lord, keeps them from seeing that their vengeance is revealing of their inner judgmental nature. Instead of humbly seeking the Lord's forgiveness, as did the woman, they seek to kill Jesus before He reveals what the handwritten sermon on the ground had said about them.
In their first attempt to find excuse to stone Jesus, He stood up, looked directly at the accusers, and challenged them to 'cast the first stone.' They could see the handwritten sermon on the ground, they knew in their own consciences that they were guilty of sins too. None of them could claim to be 'anamartetos' (G361), the Greek word for 'sinless'. Humbled, perhaps soon to be stoned themselves, if the handwritten sermon of Jesus is revealed to the crowd, they are unwilling to start the stoning process themselves.
Capital punishment by stoning was lawful in the Jewish law. (Ex. 19:13; Dt. 13:10; 17:5; 22:21). The Jewish method of stoning was to throw the sinner from a 10 foot scaffold, with their hands tied. The witnesses of the sin, did the pushing, and then one of the witnesses would take a large stone and cast it upon the chest of the sinner. Then all the ones present were to throw more stones until the sinner was dead. Often times, in reality, the scaffold was omitted, and the stones were cast without even a witness present to confirm the guilt. Had Jesus picked up a stone and cast it there in the Temple, the crowd likely would have joined in willingly, and sinfully.
Conscience is a true blessing. It is the inner awareness of one's own sin and wrong doing. These men of judgment, were really having designs to kill Jesus, not just the woman. The woman was only a ploy to try to get Jesus to do or say something that either the Jewish leaders could use to kill Him, or that the Romans could use to condemn Him. The man they failed to bring, who was as guilty as the woman, was probably in the crowd, un-condemned by the judgmental ones, probably due to him being their friend. The writing of Jesus on the ground, the handwritten sermon, was likely stirring their consciences.
ikely stirred their conscience. The hypocrisy that was evident to the whole crowd there was stirring their conscience.
JESUS AGAIN IDENTIFIES HIMSELF, AS THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF GOD.
The Pharisees therefore said unto Him, Thou bearest record of Thyself; Thy record is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of Myself, yet My record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
At the end of the sermon wherein Jesus identified Himself as the Messiah, there will be another attempt of a stoning of Jesus. The sermon begins and ends with 'almost' a stoning. In the middle of those two almost stonings, there is a sermon. This sermon is brash, pointed, and authoritative. Jesus is going to speak with force, knowing that His time is short before the crucifixion.
Jesus had already begun to preach, when interrupted by the antagonists who wanted to trick Him with the 'woman caught in adultery.' They had figured He would either have her stoned, and thereby make Himself a murderer in the eyes of the Romans, or be merciful to her, making Him a violator of the law of Leviticus. That interruption of His sermon is over, so now we see in this passage, Jesus begins to speak 'AGAIN'. He starts over in the sermon already begun before the interruption.
Only Jesus could make such a claim. He was claiming the ability in that role to see sin. The woman's sin was seen, with repentance and godly sorrow being present. Therefore, Jesus did not condemn her. The accusers sins were seen, and they had no repentance. Jesus was seeing their rebellion, their accusatory and judgmental nature, and their unchanging hatred of Him. Jesus went on to explain, that to follow Him would keep us in the Light, and we would not be condemning of the repentant, but seeing sin as sin.
The pharisees claimed that Jesus' words were His own. They were denying that Jesus spoke for God, and had not spoken 'rhema' words. This crowd was in 'darkness', but by the end of this sermon 'many' would 'believe' on Him. This many who would come to realize He is the Messiah, the Son of God, and come into the Light, out of darkness, would enrage those who had already wanted to destroy the Lord.
The jealousy of the wicked there, had made them want to kill Jesus. The converts who accepted Jesus as the Messiah would enrage them to greater vengeance. Some converts, and others in total rejection of Jesus were the results of this sermon. The same sermon made believers out of some, made enemies of greater wrath, out of others. The ones who are made believers will 'follow' Jesus, and thereby, not be walking in 'darkness' any longer For they will have then as their Lord, the 'Light of life'.
The pharisees therefore spake unto Him, Thou bearest record of Thyself, Thy record is not true.
Jesus answered that His words were not just His own, but were rhema from God. Jesus is speaking, identifying Himself as the Light, as the One with a mission from God, coming to speak the Words from God, and being confirmed by God Who sent Him.
At Jesus' water baptism, God spoke out of heaven, confirming that Jesus is His Son, and He was 'well pleased' with what Jesus was doing. If Jesus had come, without the witness from God, then they could question His words, but God had confirmed in Word, and the signs following were adequate proof that Jesus is the Messiah, the Light of revelation from God. The signs, wonders, voice of God, and the Scriptures bore witness that Jesus is the Light.
This is a clear claim from Jesus to be Deity.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making Himself equal with God. ...For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent Him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
This message made them angry, and they desired to kill Him for them. Yet, God restrained their wrath for the sermon was not yet done. Jesus had identified Himself, but next He would identify them.
At the end, they did seek to stone Him, their anger uncontrolled, but they were not able to kill Jesus till the time appointed by God, to fulfill the type of the Passover.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as He taught in the Temple; and no man laid hands on Him, for His hour was not yet come.
These bullies would die in their sins and though they sought Him, it was not to find the Light that He came to bring. They sought Him to stop the Light. They died in sin and in unbelief.
Jesus clearly, again, identifies Himself, as the Messiah, sent with a message from God, speaking the words of God.
Jesus knows and reveals that they would crucify Him, and yet, He would be doing nothing but what God had sent Him to do.
Jesus had full authorization and power from God. He came to do the will of God. He spoke the doctrines from God Who had sent Him.
Then answered the Jews, and said unto Him, Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour My Father, and ye do dishonour Me. And I seek not Mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My saying, he shall never see death. Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that Thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and Thou sayest, If a man keep My saying, he shall never taste of death. Art Thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: Whom makest Thou Thyself? Jesus answered, If I honour Myself, My honour is nothing: it is My Father that honoureth Me; of Whom ye say, that He is your God: Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him: and if I should say, I know Him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know Him, and keep His saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
The Jews here accused Jesus of being a Samaritan, a people who were despised by the Jews. They accused Him of having a devil, to be demonic. Yes, they were blasphemous, evil, sinful to the max. Mocking, accusing falsely the Lord Jesus is a horrible sin.
These abusers, inspired by devils, call Jesus to be a 'Samaritan'. This was their way of calling Jesus a heretic, an idolater, a man self-excommunicated with whom no man should fellowship. To them, that is what a Samaritan was. They said Jesus had a 'devil'. This is the Greek word, daimonion (G1140), meaning 'demon'. Far too often, we find saints accused of having a demon. Demons cannot control any saint. They can whisper temptations, share false accusations against others to saints. Yet, a child of God has the Spirit inside, and He does not share space in us with demons. He does not allow demons to make us do anything. We still have free will to choose to sin, or choose to do righteousness. Jesus was not controlled by demons, and those demons who were attacking Him here, were speaking through the ones accusing Him of having demons.
They are here insulting the intelligence of Jesus. They truly did not comprehend that Jesus is the eternal Son, deity, and had been present even in the beginning when He created the earth. Their mocking of Him showed their mental inadequacy.
God honored Jesus by working miracles, by protecting Him. The voice from heaven when Jesus was being baptized, confirmed the honor of God upon Jesus. Today, we see many honor themselves. They proclaim to be great and to possess great gifts. None of us possess gifts, we are given them severally, as the Lord desires, and the power is His, not ours. To brag on ourselves makes us very 'un-Chris-like'.
These abusers were lying when they would say that they knew God. Jesus would have to lie, to say that He did not know God. These abusers proved they did not know God, by showing they had not heard nor seen God's confirmation that Jesus was His Son.
The eternal Savior, i.e. Jesus, had seen Abraham. So, at this question by the Jewish abusers, Jesus uses one of the names of the Trinity, and claims to be the 'I AM'.
This is one of the eternal names of the Trinity, proving that They existed before Abraham. The ones accusing and abusing the Lord here, apprehended that He claimed this Divine Name for Himself, thus declaring that He is one of the Trinity.
Hearing Jesus claim to be deity, was blasphemy to them, so to fulfill the law, they gathered rocks to stone Him.
Legally, they had a right to stone someone who falsely claimed to be deity. Jesus is the One prophesied to come, as the Son of God, also the descendant of Adam though Abraham, through David.
Jesus "hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them".
It was not time for Jesus to be killed, and His life was to be given via crucifixion, not via stoning. Their desire to abuse and kill Jesus failed. How could they try to hurt Jesus? Jesus had healed the sick, raised the dead, preached repentance for sins, and done nothing sinful. So, why did they not recognize the prophecies of the Messiah being fulfilled in Jesus?
Jesus was accused to try to make Him appear to be the 'evil' one. The abuser will speak evil of all who are not like them. Jesus was not like them. To all, the abusers tried to portray Jesus as a horrible person. By doing good, by receiving the attention of the people, Jesus had received the attention that they demanded. They had to make up charges, calling Him a Samaritan, a demonically possessed person, all of which is ridiculous.
The first Lenten period, the original one, just prior to the actual events of the passion week, were spent by Jesus and the disciples in Ephriam, where Jesus was keeping the disciples safe, separated from the anger and hatred inspired in the religious leaders of that day, to kill our Lord. Jesus knew that day was near, and He was not afraid. The disciples needed teaching, needed understanding in wisdom, and the time in Ephriam would allow Jesus to explain much to them. We shall look further into what Jesus taught them during that time. Here in John 7 and 8, we see the motivating fear in the disciples building.


If you are a big fan of torrents and use it to download and share videos, music and files from the web, then you must have heard about Vuze, formally known as Azureus, being one of the most popular BitTorrent client, with hundreds and thousands of active users world wide.
Vuze not only allows you to download files from the internet, but you can also watch, publish and share high quality videos. Key features include, option to browse through channels and categories containing thousands of music videos, movies, video games, TV shows, and much much more.
A new version was recently released by Vuze, the Vuze 4.2, with a totally redesigned and smooth interface, taking user interaction to the next level. However, one of the most noticeable feature that have been added to the latest release is the ability to convert videos to formats required for the Apple TV, iPods, iPhone, PS3 and Xbox 360.
The best part about this feature is that devices like PS3, Xbox and iTunes are now auto-detected by the program and displays the connected devices on to the left side of the redesigned sidebar. And if the user is interested in any type of video that he or she would like to transfer it to their connected devices, all they have to do is to drag and drop that specific song or video file onto the appropriate device. Vuze will take care the rest of the job, itself.
Vuze will automatically convert and transfer all the files to the iTune itself. However, for PS3 and Xbox 360 users they will need to connect their devices to allow conversion and streaming of the files between the two devices.
Despite all the convenience of automatic detection and conversion, the conversion and transferring process itself is very painstaking and time consuming. In the end it will depend on the user himself, whether he would compromise convenience over speed.
Vuze is available for Windows and Mac. For more details visit their blog. If you are having trouble using this program, take a look at these two resources, here and here which will definitely help you out.

Heaven's Healing Adjustment
Is Holy Spirit aligning the nations and the spiritual realm, preparing them for His coming outpouring? The prophetic vision and word given to Dr. Scott Reece a few days ago suggest that He is. I read Scott's word the same day I received my brother, Tim Sheets' word, which I read on yesterday's post. Tim said a fresh Pentecostal outpouring of Holy Spirit has begun, assisted by a multitude of angels. He also spoke of the rumbling sound this was releasing in the spiritual realm, which he could "hear" with his spiritual ears (Revelation 3:22). Elijah spoke of hearing with his spiritual ears in I Kings 18:41: "I hear the sound of an abundance of rain."
When Elijah said this, there was as yet no natural sound from a storm or rain. He was hearing prophetically. Prior to this, the prophet had heard from God that rain was coming (verse 1). He now sensed and discerned spiritually that this was imminent. Likewise, prophets today are hearing a sound, the sound of spiritual rain. Just before receiving Tim's word, another prophet sent me a dream and word about "hearing" this sound of revival. As this person preached on the dream and word, the service was interrupted by a loud, explosive power surge. I will share this report with you on Monday's post. I believe that hers, Tim's, and the following word are all related.
Holy Spirit gave Scott Reece this prophetic word in the form of a fascinating allegory. (An example of a spiritual allegory would be C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia.) He uses the concept of spinal alignment to picture the earth being in or out of proper alignment with God. This is especially fascinating to me due to a biblical Greek word I have studied. Katartizo means to be properly aligned, positioned, and connected. It is the word for "mending" nets (Matthew 4:21), "restoring" fallen brothers and sisters (Galatians 6:1), or "setting" a broken bone. This would also be the word for resetting a dislocated joint. This allegorical picture of our planet's dislocation and disconnection from God is biblical and powerful. Scott says:
"The Lord showed me the earth with a spine completely encircling it. Certain points of the spine were twisted, distorted, curved, and out of alignment. Out of those damaged places flowed toxicities, sin, and pollution of every kind.
"The earth's spine was a gathering point and often a place of intense warfare. Around portions of the spine were different, strategic strongholds. These places were the source of global poverty, wars, rumors of wars, demonic strategies of bondage, perversions, slavery, abortion, crime, pornography, dominance, greed, corrupt politics, confusion, carnal religion, diseases, and death.
"Other places along the spine were in perfect order and alignment; these possessed God's ruling, governmental authority. From them, the purposes and will of God were determined, decreed, and released throughout the earth. In those places, the sovereign reign and rule of God had been established by women and men of God, which brought spiritual order to the earth.
"This divine order was the result of obedience that manifested in a variety of ways: intercession, preaching the word, prophecy, evangelism, apostolic authority - all resulting in revival that brought divine alignment to that region of the spine. Also, in each of those "aligned" places, superior air authority had been established and the atmosphere over them had become secured airspace which the demonic was not allowed to enter. They became heavenly portals reaching completely from heaven to earth. Those aligned places were 'vavs' (a Hebrew word which, among other things, has the symbolic meaning of connecting heaven and earth) through which heavenly activity flowed freely. Demons avoided those places at all costs.
"Therefore, in the vision, the battle was for the spine. As went the spine, so went the earth. Whoever controlled it, controlled the physical and spiritual destinies of millions of people. Because of this, attempts were made to cause actions that produced either alignment or misalignment. The very first twisting and misalignment of the earthly spine occurred as a result of Adam's betrayal in the garden of Eden."
Scott then shares prophetically, "I'm hearing the Lord say that the earth belongs to Him and He is raising up an Ekklesia that will walk in a new level of understanding. This revelation of authority, anointing, and their assignment will enable the Ekklesia to bring alignment to the global spine.
"The earth is going through a major, spiritual chiropractic adjustment, bringing correction and alignment. As the spine comes into this order and alignment, the result will be a sustained global outpouring of Holy Spirit, a revival that cannot be quenched.
"Demonic entities are being dislodged and twisted theologies are being exposed. The revelation of the church as Christ's Ekklesia is revealing the twisted lies of demonic religious teachings that were used to keep the spine out of alignment."
Scott then continues relating the vision. "I also saw much intercession aimed at the spine. As the prayers and decrees were hurtling through the atmosphere, they were joined by other intercessory decrees being released, which caused them to pick up speed, power, and authority. As angels saw the rapid movement and increased momentum of this intercessory weapon, they released decrees from past ages that had been held for 'such a time as this.' This caused the release of a supernatural synchronization and synergy.
"As the decrees picked up speed, momentum, authority, and anointing, demonic sentinels attempted to sound a warning - but to no avail. As the empowered decrees hit regions of misalignment demons were dislodged, strongholds were broken, hiding places of evil were revealed, dens of iniquity were exposed and demonic entities were scattered into the outer regions of darkness. Demon princes who sat on thrones of deception, iniquities, and lies were cast down. The suddenness of the attack caught them off guard. Confusion disrupted and scattered the demonic powers that had ruled. Once they were dislodged from the earth's atmosphere, they were not allowed back in.
"Immediately behind the intercessory missiles were warring angels, on the specific assignment of bringing order and alignment. They engaged in warfare against strong demons of resistance, but the battles were won swiftly because the demons were significantly outnumbered and outmatched.
"The last activity of this angelic host was a heavenly chiropractic correction of the earth's spine. They gathered on both sides of the spine and began to push, empowered by the Ekklesia's intercession. The spine was enormous and severely twisted, but as they pushed, the creative breath of Holy Spirit blew, bringing alignment and order to the spine."
Scott concludes by saying, "Strategic alignment is now occurring around the globe. The Ekklesia is responding, order will be established and a sustained global awakening will occur - the result of proper spiritual alignment."
Father, we thank You for the sound being released into the spiritual atmosphere of the earth. It is the sound of rain, the sound of angels' wings, the sound of bones coming together, and the sound of great harvest.
We thank You for the great realignment with You that occurred through the Cross. We ask for the power of this to be released throughout the earth in a mighty way. Heal humanity's crooked and misaligned "spine." We believe this is happening through the power of Holy Spirit, the prayers of the church, and the work of angelic forces.
Send another great Pentecost wind of Holy Spirit to the world. Let it be the greatest and most powerful wind of Your Spirit the earth has ever experienced. We believe this is coming and we agree in prayer now for the manifestation, in Christ's name. Amen.
We decree that Heaven's healing adjustment is being made to the earth. Millions will be restored to Yahweh.


Last weekend, Grant and his girlfriend went to 5th Annual Silent Night Deaf Ministry Scholarship Benefit at Lover Lane United Methodist Church (LLUMC) in Dallas. This is his 2nd time to attend – last time, he went there and watched World First Deaf Solo Rode Sailboat around the World presentation.
It was enjoyment overall along silent auction, entertainment, presentation, and wonderful dinner & dessert including brief presentation from DISD Trustee Dr. Edwin Flores. Grant won one of the bidding, he received "A VIP Wine Tasting Event for 20" event worth $750 according to certification. He never been there before and looking forward to it!!
Kudo to Rev. Dr. Tom Hudspeth and his team for wonderful event again!
Anyway, they enjoyed the most of all is presentation from Miss Deaf Texas name Katie Murch. She gave a powerful message about her life struggle with public school in her hometown – not too long ago. Grant admitted he thought it was just this little cute show, but he didn't know her actually delivery awe-inspiring speech.
Also, she kept saying how important that parent stay activity in their deaf children during school times. It is clearly that our community has a long way to go. Katie's dream is to establish an unbiased information network to all parents of deaf children. Yes, that would include sign language, cochlear implant, hearing aid, oral methods, etc. The Bottom line is to get best communication and education for deaf children.
It does of the highest importance that parent understand what it takes to raise deaf children otherwise the children will be lost forever.
If you live in Texas and want to get with Miss Deaf Texas Katie Murch for show and presentation, contact them!! Grant promised it is best investment you ever get for your local event, whether it is for deaf or hearing audiences.

Infants are not toddlers: Provincial child care changes prompt petition, worry from parents, day care workers
Infants aren't toddlers and shouldn't be lumped together in daycares, say parents, local politicians and daycare workers who gathered at a Thursday rally against proposed provincial changes to child care.
Sharon Hill, Windsor Star
Infants aren't toddlers and shouldn't be lumped together in daycares, say parents, local politicians and daycare workers who gathered at a Thursday rally against proposed provincial changes to child care.
Children, staff and parents gathered outside ABC Day Nursery on Lauzon Road along with CUPE officials, Windsor-Tecumseh MP Cheryl Hardcastle and Windsor West MPP Lisa Gretzky for a rally against the changes they say will harm children, decrease the quality of care and push daycares to increase their fees and perhaps not offer care for infants.
"Kids are going to get run over," Alicia De La Hamaide, a registered early childhood educator, said of putting infants with energetic toddlers who are walking and may be in the biting and hitting stage. "There are less people there to protect them and more kids there to hurt them."
De La Hamaide, who started a provincewide petition to try to stop proposed Ministry of Education changes to age groupings and staff to child ratios, asked parents, grandparents and educators to make their voices heard against the changes before an April 1 comment deadline.

Currently, infants are defined as newborns to 18 months but De La Hamaide said new regulations for licensed child care would define infants as newborns to 12 months old. It means they would be put in rooms with toddlers six months earlier and toddlers would in turn be mixed in with preschoolers six months earlier at age two, she said.
"With these new changes spending quality time with these infants will no longer be possible," said De La Hamaide, who works for ABC Day Nursery. "We as early childhood educators will be too busy performing crowd control."
Kim Gilbert is a registered early childhood educator, a union rep for 80 CUPE Local 543 child care workers in Windsor and a new mom of her four-month-old son Milo who was wearing and "I'm not a toddler" shirt. When her maternity leave is done she worries her son will be put in with toddlers, which will hurt the quality of care and push him into a room with active toddlers and less staff.
"It is time we stand together to fight back and say no," Gilbert said to a cheer from the crowd.
The Ministry of Education is getting comments on phase two of changes to the Child Care and Early Years Act.
"The proposed changes would not result in babies and toddlers being cared for in larger groups with fewer adults," ministry spokeswoman May Nazar said late Thursday in an emailed response. "They would provide better protection by increasing the minimum number of qualified staff from one to two in infant, toddler and preschool age groups."
Wearing his St. Patrick's Day tie, Nico, 3, is assisted by registered early childhood educator Wendy Oakey at ABC Day Nursery on Lauzon Road on March 17, 2016. Nick Brancaccio / Windsor Star
She said the government is "proposing changes to age grouping, ratios, group size and staff qualifications to strengthen quality, increase access and reflect the feedback we received from child care licensees and other early years partners in response to past consultations."
Gretzky, who is the Ontario NDP education critic, said it's not too late to oppose the changes which she called a step backwards.
"It's quite concerning to hear that now we're going to take even younger children and, as Cheryl (Hardcastle) has pointed out, it's basically warehousing them. We can't make this change," Gretzky said.
So far the petition has more than 1,000 signatures and parents who took petitions Thursday were asked to drop them off at any ABC Day Nursery in Windsor or the CUPE Local 543 office on Parent Avenue by March 23 so they can be presented to Gretzky March 29 at 3:30 p.m. For more information, see

Oceanic Currents in Spotlight after 50-Year-Old Message in a Bottle Found
note from 1969 found, its author alive and well
By Jonny Lupsha, News Writer
A bottled message dated 1969 has washed up on an Australian beach, Sky News reported. Its author, a Briton named Paul Gilmore, has also been located, after the message was posted on Facebook and went viral. Oceanic currents perform many natural wonders.

Paul Gilmore's family moved from England to Australia via a ship when he was 13 years old, according to the Sky News article. He wrote a half-dozen messages along the way and sealed them in bottles, casting them into the ocean, complete with a return address. Now, after a half-century, one of them has been found by a man named Paul Elliott and his son, Jyah, after it washed up on Talia Beach in South Australia. Oceanic currents are responsible for some of the greatest features of our world. But how?
Surface Currents and Gyres
There are two kinds of water currents that cause water circulation around the globe—surface currents and deep currents. "The currents that most of us are familiar with on a day-to-day basis are what we would call 'wind-driven' or 'surface' currents—that is, the act of the wind, driving along the surface of the water, pulls some of the water with it in a shearing action," said Dr. Sean K. Todd, the Steven K. Katona Chair in Marine Sciences at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. "Surface water is dragged by these surface winds in directions that are more or less parallel to the wind."
Dr. Todd explained that as different parts of our planet are barraged with heat and radiation from the Sun, they deflect it to varying levels of success. The equator has solar winds shot directly at it, while areas to the north and south more effectively experience solar winds drifting along them. When combined with the rotation of the Earth, they create global wind currents that collide in places like the north Atlantic Ocean and churn the water into enormous surface currents that flow clockwise. These gentle, ocean-sized surface currents are called gyres. The familiarly named "Gulf Stream" that flows north along the East Coast of the United States is merely one side of the massive North Atlantic gyre.
Deep Currents and Thermohaline Circulation
Another immeasurable impact oceanic currents have on our lives is that of thermohaline circulation, which regulates heat levels around the globe—although it happens in such deep currents that most of us will never see it. "Water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb heat without changing too much in temperature," Dr. Todd said. "As we've noted, heating of the Earth's surface is uneven, with far more radiation received at the equator than at the poles. This heat is redistributed partly through air movement, but also through the movement of water cycling through the ocean depths."
Dr. Todd explained that at both the North and South Poles, the ever-cooling waters become dense and sink to lower depths. There, it finds its way closer to the equator. At the same time, the denser, colder water is replaced at the poles by warmer water that has been carried along the surface from the equator with the aid of the previously mentioned wind currents. In this way, it redistributes heat throughout the ocean. "The name we give to this process is thermohaline circulation, but one of the circuits that's created also has a more common name—that of the 'global ocean conveyor," he said.
Surface currents and gyres caused by solar winds played a clear role in delivering Paul Gilmore's 50-year message to Paul and Jyah Elliott, but they only tell part of the story of oceanic currents. Thermohaline circulation and the global ocean conveyor are the other side of that coin. Only time will tell if Gilmore's remaining messages will wash ashore.
Dr. Sean K. Todd contributed to this article. Dr. Todd holds the Steven K. Katona Chair in Marine Sciences at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. He received a Joint Honours undergraduate degree in Marine Biology and Oceanography from Bangor University in the United Kingdom and his master's and doctoral degrees in Biopsychology at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's, Canada.

An interlocking door is one of the most secure methods of access control available to site security managers. But how exactly does it work?
In its simplest form, an interlocking system is composed of two doors electronically connected so one cannot open until the other has closed.
Using identification, you enter the first door which must close behind you before the second door opens and allows you to pass through. Rather like an airlock.
Interlocking doors provide one of the highest levels of entrance control and access management available.
As well as intrusion protection, they can also offer first-class physical protection with resistance against ballistic and blast attacks.
Interlocking doors are often fitted with a range of different detection systems. Single person sensors, for example, detect when more than one person has entered into the booth and prevents the second door from opening.
It is also common for metal detectors to be built into a booth when there is a threat of firearms being carried through.
Aside from standard identification methods, such as cards and PIN codes, biometric readers that recognise faces, retinas or fingerprints add a further level of security to an interlocking door.
Interlocking doors are particularly effective at stopping piggybacking or tailgating.
Piggybacking and tailgating are attempts to enter a restricted area by following closely behind someone with the correct authorisation.
Read more about how interlocking doors are used to maintain high security levels and restrict the movement of unauthorised individuals around a site.

WIPO Releases Draft Issues Paper on IP Policy for AI Inventions
by Matthew Ford, Principal
On 13 December, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) issued a draft paper on IP policy in relation to Artificial Intelligence (AI). This draft paper is part of a public consultation process to help define IP policy around the ever-expanding field of AI. A copy of the draft paper can be accessed here.
As part of this process, WIPO is seeking feedback from stakeholders on what are the main issues to be considered in relation to IP policy around the use of AI and development of AI innovations.
Some of the current IP issues identified by WIPO to date and discussed in the draft paper include:
Inventorship and ownership of patents and designs where AI tools have had significant input on the generation of the technology. This issue likely stems from the recent instance of computer systems being named as inventors on patent applications.[1]
Patentable subject matter for AI inventions and the guidelines that should be adopted for assessing this.
Standards of inventive step in relation to AI inventions, such as what constitutes prior art and who is the relevant person skilled in the art.
The level of disclosure required to obtain a valid patent around AI where the algorithm may change over time.
Patent incentives for AI generated inventions.
Authorisation of use of copyright protected data for training an AI system and how this use might be detected.
The use of Deep Fakes and whether these should be outlawed or embraced in an authorised manner.
Whether new types of IP rights should be considered to protect the vast quantities of data generated by modern computer systems and devices.
Whether IP policy can be used to contain a widening technology gap in AI capacity across different countries.
Comments on the IP issues that WIPO should consider are due by 14 February 2020 via the WIPO Secretariat ai2ip@wipo.int. Following this, a revised paper will be published for further consideration by WIPO and the general public.
If nothing else, this draft paper signifies that WIPO is recognising the increasing impacts and importance of AI on our world, particularly around the stimulation and facilitation of innovation – a primary role of the IP system. This is a good opportunity for stakeholders to have their say on how IP policy around AI will be shaped in the future.
The team at POF are keeping a close eye on the developments in IP policy and will report further once the revised paper has issued.
You may also be interested in WIPO's recent WIPO publication entitled "WIPO Technology Trends 2019: Artificial Intelligence" available here. This publication discusses trends in AI innovation, possible future growth markets and consideration of IP policy to facilitate innovation in AI.
[1] On 25 November 2019 the European Patent Office (EPO) refused two patent applications on the grounds that they do not meet the requirement of the EPC that the inventor is a human being, not a machine. A reasoned decision is expected from the EPO this month.

Discussion in 'Moto / Utility Jackets' started by Marv, Mar 8, 2018.
I have just picked up (well waiting for it to arrive) a Levis LVC 1930s Menlo leather jacket and have a question regarding applying a leather conditioner to it.
The jacket is made from sheepskin so was wondering what the best type of leather conditioner would be suitable to use on this type of hide.
The jacket is a dark seal brown colour with factory distressing so wanted to tone this down a little, not too bothered about whether the hide darkens once the conditioner has been applied.
Probably looking for a non greasy application / finish to the hide so any suggestions would be appreciated - as I am UK based, anything suitable which can be purchased here would be preferable.
I bought a lanolin-based cleaner for fleece as there are those who think the base oil of the animal is what you should go with. Unless it is a pet, I'm not sure it matters but something lanolin based might be something to look in to.
I do have some old (and do mean old probably 10 years) ELC Liquid Leather conditioner which says it can be used on all types of leather but because of its age, I am a bit hesitant to use it really.
Paul, I've been using RM Williams's saddle and leather dressing for absolute eons and it has worked a treat on every single thing I have put it on and all types of leather (including lambskin). It's fantastic stuff and doesn't go rancid. You can put it on everything from horse tack to jackets, boots, luggage, it really is super stuff.
I've got bottles and bottles of the Aero leather dressing that you got with every jacket (just goes to show how many Aero's I used to buy!). Haven't used any for years.
Renapur Leather Balsam is the best I have found. I have tried many. This one is similar Pecard but not greasy. It is bees wax based and has all natural ingredients. It's made in Sussex UK.
If you apply any coating to the surface it will change colour and go much darker. Because the leather has been distressed the surface will be porous and have a mottled colour. Any variations in colour and texture will be lost.
It's like varnishing a piece of driftwood.
I agree. The LVC treatment is, according to your taste, pretty much the complete product. I really liked my Menlo in washed goatskin (a bit russet for my tastes these days), but I wouldn't have considered messing with it.
Hmmm...worked for Daniel Craig, but not for me. Just a little bit too distressed I think.
It certainly takes some getting used to especially after wearing the A2s and G1s we all love, the distressing does kind of depict the clothing you can wear with it but even so, its a nice jacket.


Having honed their craft for many years at weekend destinations such as Market On Main, in 2015 the Argentine team behind this atmospheric grillhouse decided to open a restaurant that would show off the very best of Argentine cooking and hospitality. The location is a whole historic warehouse building on Maboneng's main street Fox, which has been cleverly reconfigured into a large, yet warm and inviting space that mixes the rustic and the urban.
One third of the restaurant houses the open kitchen, dominated by a massive purpose-built chimney under which everything is cooked on the wood-fired parrilla - gaucho-style. Scattered across the rest of the space are long tables, rococo sofas, benches and other salvaged items of antique furniture, with grand candelabras, red velvet curtains, wild flowers and the faint traces of old signage on the walls adding to the shabby-chic romance. A ceiling portrait of a cigar-smoking Che Guevara looks over your table, while leather saddles adorn the place, and a gigantic mural depicting gaucho life dominates one wall.
On the menu is a selection of the owners' favourite dishes and a handful of easy-going South African wines. Don't miss out on the homemade pork belly chorizo for starters and for mains steak is of course order of the day, best followed by a mouth-watering dulce de leche drenched dessert. Mains take quite some time to arrive so enjoy some of the freshly baked bread dipped in Che's homemade chimichurri sauce while you wait.
With its mix of long tables and cosy corners, Che is a destination suited to both big groups and romantic downtown dinners a deux. From the owners who greet you at the door to the charming waitstaff, service is friendly and attentive, if a little slow at times.

This Banana Cake recipe means the world to me! It was a recipe that my Granny and I use to make when I was a little girl and I have very fond memories of helping her in the kitchen making this recipe together. I know there are a billion banana cake recipes around but today I'm sharing my special Granny's Delicious Banana Cake with you.
1 tsp Baking Powder – Make sure you pass through a sifter to remove any lumps.
Make sure your banana's are very over ripe! They have so much more flavor when making using them in cooking. I leave mine until the skin is black.
Make sure you pass the Baking Powder and the Bi Carb Soda through a sifter to remove any lumps.
Oil Spray and line your cake tin with baking paper. I used a 20 cm round cake tin.
Cream the butter and the sugar together using your electric beater until light and fluffy.
Add the beaten egg. Mix until combined.
Add banana 1/3 at a time mixing until combined.
Place cake mix into the cake tin and bake for 35 – 40 minutes.
Prod the centre of the cake at 35 minutes and if still not cooked cover cake with foil and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Now its time to put the kettle on and sit down and enjoy!
Oh how nice Sam! Those memories are the BEST, and you can pass that recipe on to your kids! My grandma used to be a great baker and made lovely cakes, I wish I had half her skills, lol! We love banana cake and I think it's a great way to use up those ripe bananas no one will eat otherwise. Last time I made a banana cake it turned out super dry…not sure what went wrong. But now I'll make your granny's cake, it looks delicious and not dry at all! Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up at Sweet Inspiration #2 friend!! Have a lovely Sunday!
Just letting you know, that I'll feature your yummy banana cake at tomorrows Sweet Inspiration Linky!
Sam this looks so yummy. Would you believe that in all my years, and they are plenty, I have never made a banana cake? Is it because the kids always grab the bananas and eat them before they get ripe? Maybe. But now that most of them have left the house maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to try out this recipe of yours. And you know granny's recipes are always the best! Thanks for joining us at Sweet Inspiration.
Very yummy looking cake and made with bananas. Ripe bananas make the best cake and bread. I pinned it! Thanks for sharing at DI&DI.

Community rallies to save historic restaurant, others shutting down across US amid pandemic
Nancy Loo
Posted: Dec 15, 2020 / 08:23 PM CST | Updated: Dec 15, 2020 / 08:23 PM CST
NEWHALL, Calif. (NewsNation Now) — A lack of business amid the COVID-19 pandemic has put more restaurants out of business, including some more than a century old.
The Saugus Cafe is the oldest restaurant in Los Angeles County. It dates back to back to 1886, but as is the case for restaurants across America these days, it is in a painful fight to survive, knowing many historic places have already folded.
The takeout orders are fairly steady these days at the Saugus Cafe in Newhall, north of Los Angeles.
After health officials imposed another ban on in-person dining, pleas on social media have sparked a healthy wave of community support.
Saugus was on the verge of shutting down.
"We're spending more than what the income is so, we kept seeing that throughout the month so it was like, we have to prepare for it," said owner Yesenia Mercado.
Nancy Larimer is among the many ordering takeout here for the first time.
"I like to help others, I like to be there for others. This restaurant is part of our town, it has a history with it," Larimer said.
The history dates back 133 years and several owners have proudly kept the place going.
Over the decades, the famous who've dropped in are said to include Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and John Wayne.
In 2011, Ryan Gosling sat at the counter for a scene in the movie, "Drive."
Now, it's a drive keep the place alive.
"We were looking for a place to eat so I said let's go to Saugus Cafe and help them out," said customer Alvaro Pinto.
All over the country, other historic restaurants are also hanging by a thread or already history, such as the famous 21 Club in New York City and the original Morton's Steakhouse in Chicago.
Nearby, Lawry's in the historic McCormick Mansion will permanently close in two weeks.
That's when the iconic Cliff House in San Francisco will also call it quits after 157 years.
In Portland, Oregon, the Dan and Louis Oyster Bar is hoping to stay alive.
The great-grandfather of Keoni Wachsmuth opened the place in 1907.
"We we're just running this thing like a well-oiled machine," Wachsmuth said.
It's estimated that well over half all independent restaurants will not survive the pandemic.

For those still kicking, community support is a make-or-break lifeline.
"If it keeps going like it's going, then definitely. All day, people are just calling and placing orders, buying merchandise," Mercado said. "It's just amazing how this town is filled with love."
The Saugus Cafe and many other restaurants have set up GoFundMe accounts to help cover costs.
The pandemic has closed more than 110,000 restaurants nationwide, according to the National Restaurant Association. 16% of them had been open for at least 30 years.
Amazon.com Inc on Wednesday offered to help with the United States' efforts involving the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a letter addressed to President Joe Biden, seen by Reuters.

Q: Show that all numbers can be written as $x=k\alpha+x'$, given... The question is: Suppose $\alpha>0$. Prove that any real number $x$ can be written uniquely in the form $x=k\alpha+x'$, where $k$ is an integer and $0\leq x'\lt\alpha$.
How do I approach this problem? Perhaps construct a set for all $x$ that cannot be expressed in this way and show that it is empty?

A: Hint: it is sufficient to show that any real number can be written as a sum of its integer and "fractional" or "decimal" parts.

Giants to interview defensive coordinator Patrick Graham for head coach
Home Entertainment Tom Holland will continue as 'Spider-Man' in new trilogy: producer
Tom Holland will continue as 'Spider-Man' in new trilogy: producer
Happy Spider Monday!
While this may be colloquially considered a day to revolve around shopping, a k a Cyber Monday, but in reality we are in the "Spider-Man" universe now — his multiverse, actually.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" is already being considered as the ultimate Spider-Man movie, featuring villains (and allegedly heroes) across 20 years of live-action films. When the clock struck midnight and the tickets went on sale early Monday, it took only moments for domestic and national ticketing websites to crash as hopeful moviegoers rushed to secure seats (and possibly an NFT souvenir) to one of the biggest movies of the year.
But despite the fact that this final installment of the "Homecoming" trilogy marks the end to Disney's current deal to share the web-slinging character — played by British star Tom Holland — producer and former head of Sony Pictures Amy Pascal said the 25-year-old actor's time as Peter Parker is far from over.
"This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel — [this is not] the last 'Spider-Man' movie," Pascal said in an interview with Fandango Monday morning. "We are getting ready to make the next 'Spider-Man' movie with Tom Holland and Marvel. We're thinking of this as three films, and now we're going to go on to the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies … Yes, Marvel and Sony are going to keep going together as partners."

Representatives for Holland did not immediately return The Post's request for comment.
The relationship between Sony Pictures and Disney has not always been a smooth one, as Spider-Man was almost pulled out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2019. Holland himself proved to be an instrumental figure in bringing the two studios back together, as then-Disney CEO Bob Iger explained in an interview with "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and Holland elaborated on in an interview with Kimmel a few months later.
The star jokingly recalled a drunken conversation he had with Iger after the 2019 D23 Expo, during which he "wept" to him over the possibility of his "Spider-Man" character being removed from the MCU due to the studios' disagreement. "I was really emotional because I felt like it was all coming to an end," he said.
It was that conversation that made the then-boss change his perspective.
"It was clear that he cared so much," Iger said. "He's a great 'Spider-Man.' I felt for him and it was clear that the fans wanted all of this to happen."

But Holland raised some eyebrows when he mentioned potentially hanging up of the spider suit in an interview with GQ earlier this month.
"Maybe it is time for me to move on," he said. "Maybe what's best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film. I have to take Peter Parker into account as well because he is an important part of my life. If I'm playing Spider-Man after I'm 30, I've done something wrong."
Well, perhaps not if Amy Pascal has anything to say about it.
"Yes, Marvel and Sony are going to keep going together as partners."
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" premieres exclusively in theaters on Dec. 17.
