No download required and it’s free to use. Try Team.video for FREE! What's happening around the world right now is unprecedented, but I don't think I have to tell you that. Wherever you are, I hope you and our family members are healthy and I hope you've been able to continue some semblance of work, assuming you're able to do your job remotely, as most developers probably are. I think most of us that didn't previously work remotely will be looking for or recommending new tools for our remote teams, and even the occasional article on remote work life and work culture will be greatly beneficial. Productivity is essential during the current pandemic Over the past year, I've been curating a second newsletter that you might enjoy if you've been newly converted to remote work. It's called Tech Productivity, and it's always a brief newsletter with about 10-12 links that include productivity-related tools (like video conferencing, Slack plugins, note taking apps, etc.) as well as productivity-related articles. Some of the articles cover things like brain science while others are just simple tip-based posts on freelancing and working on side projects. Basically, any kind of content that can help tech workers be more productive. And if you're missing the "productivity tools" category that I used to include in this newsletter, well those tools are now in Tech Productivity, so this one can stay focused on developer-related tools.

Although I often include quick DOM scripting tips in the intro of this newsletter, for this week, I'm just going to point you to a great little resource that was sent to me by reader Phuoc Nguyen: HTML DOM It's more or less a repository of basic, intermediate, and advanced native DOM scripting snippets. HTML DOM: A resource of native DOM snippets Here are some of the advanced and intermediate examples: Make a draggable element Resize columns of a table Sort a table by clicking its headers Calculate the size of the scrollbar Communicate between an iframe and parent window There are more than 80 tips currently listed and I'm sure he'll add more later. Even if you don't necessarily use any of the snippets in a real project right away, there are plenty of little coding tidbits you can glean form the example code, which is all just vanilla JavaScript with no library or framework involved.

k Web Tools #355 - Frameworks, Testing Tools, JS Utilities By mailchi.mp Published On :: Thu, 07 May 2020 14:00:00 +0000 Web Tools Weekly WEB VERSION Issue #355 • May 7, 2020 Promotion 123FormBuilder Gold Plan: Lifetime Subscription For a one-time fee of $39.99 (usually $299.88/year) you get a lifetime subscription to the gold plan (20 forms/month, 5000 submissions/month). A web-based form and survey builder with a no-code drag-and-drop editor, 1000+ form templates, integration with Google Sheets, MailChimp, Dropbox, and more. Check it Out Here When creating interfaces using HTML's Drag and Drop API (various aspects of which I've covered in recent issues), it's important to note that some elements on a web page are already 'draggable' by default. And you've no doubt noticed this. The spec explains that the following elements are draggable by default: A text selection An image An `a` element with an `href` attribute Every element on the page that doesn't explicitly have the draggable attribute set has a draggable value of "auto". But that doesn't mean you can check for a value of "auto". As the spec says, if an element's draggable attribute is not set to either true or false: "...the element's draggable content attribute has the state auto. If the element is an img element, an object element that represents an image, or an a element with an href content attribute, the draggable IDL attribute must return true; otherwise, the draggable IDL attribute must return false." In other words, the browser will automatically set the draggable value to true or false based on what kind of element it is. Try this CodePen demo to see the effect in action. Notice a few things in the demo: No draggable attributes on the three elements I'm using the Window.getSelection() method to get the selected text after the drag operation begins I'm using preventDefault() when the drop is made to ensure the browser doesn't think something suspicious is happening. If I didn't include this, you'd see a warning before the browser tries to navigate to whatever you drag. Try selecting any one of the three colors in full, or even a portion of the text in those colors to find another valid color value (e.g. "Pink" inside the color "HotPink"). Notice the background of the dropzone will change accordingly. As a side point, you can select any random piece of text on that page and you'll see the browser try to figure out what to do with the text if you drop it onto the dropzone. This is similar to dragging an image (which is naturally draggable) into a new page and then the browser visits the URL of that image. BTW - if you like these kinds of JavaScript tips, you'll love my e-books bundle. Now on to this week's tools!

k Beyond Cedarville: Why Do Pastors Keep Getting Rehired After Abuse? By feeds.christianitytoday.com Published On :: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 10:00:00 GMT Victims’ advocates caution institutions against plans to “restore” fallen leaders. Update (May 1): Cedarville University president Thomas White has been placed on administration leave by the school’s board of trustees. A week after Anthony Moore was fired by White over “additional information related to [his] past,” the board announced it will commission an independent investigation of Moore and an audit of his hiring. --------- Another case of a leader with an abusive past moving from one evangelical institution to another has intensified scrutiny on Christian hiring practices and responses to abuse. In ministry contexts, the desire to keep fallen leaders out of positions where they might again abuse their authority is sometimes met with another perspective—a hope that a redemptive and forgiving God would allow people to be restored to leadership. Both victims’ advocates and community members worry that administrators weighing those considerations at Cedarville University made the wrong call. In 2017, Cedarville welcomed Anthony Moore six months after he was fired from the lead pastor position of The Village Church’s Fort Worth campus. President Thomas White wrote that he offered to shepherd Moore through a five-year plan of restoration at the conservative Baptist school while he taught theology, helped coach basketball, and served as a special advisor on diversity. CT spoke with four current and former Cedarville professors who said they knew Moore had made a “mistake” related to same-sex attraction and technology, based on White’s introduction and Moore’s own telling. Some assumed pornography or an online relationship. They had no idea that he had reportedly filmed a subordinate at his previous church in the shower. The revelation, detailed by multiple ...Continue reading... Full Article
k LifeWay Makes Cuts After VBS, Sunday School Sales Drop By feeds.christianitytoday.com Published On :: Wed, 29 Apr 2020 22:35:00 GMT The Southern Baptist publisher plans to restrict its budget by at least $25 million through reducing staff and salaries. LifeWay Christian Resources, the publishing entity of the Southern Baptist Convention, has announced it will cut roughly 10 percent of its operating budget through staff reductions, a hiring freeze, and salary cuts. The move comes after five consecutive weeks of steep revenue decline in the wake of the coronavirus and the expectation that sales may not rebound anytime soon. The Nashville-based Christian publisher said revenue is down 24 percent compared with the same period last year, largely due to a sharp drop in bulk orders from churches for resources such as Sunday school curricula, Bible study materials, and Vacation Bible School curricula. It’s not clear yet if SBC churches or other churches that buy LifeWay materials will hold VBS or camp programming this year. LifeWay’s budget for this fiscal year is $281.3 million. It said it planned to cut between $25 million and $30 million from its budget. The announcement is just the first indication of the financial blow many US churches and denominational agencies are facing as a result of the COVID-19 shutdowns—a blow that could reshape the religious landscape for decades to come. “LifeWay stands to lose tens of millions of dollars of revenue that the organization would normally generate over the summer months from camps, events, VBS, and ongoing curriculum sales,” said Ben Mandrell, LifeWay’s CEO, in a news release. “LifeWay is mitigating these losses as much as possible through various expense reduction plans, including staff reductions and cuts in non-employee expenses.” LifeWay said members of its executive leadership team will give up one month’s salary beginning in May. It did not say how it would achieve a staff reduction, ...Continue reading... Full Article
k In Inner-City Black Churches: More Grief, Fewer Resources, Stronger Faith By feeds.christianitytoday.com Published On :: Fri, 08 May 2020 10:04:00 GMT How the pandemic concentrated pressures on small churches—and how the body of Christ is stepping up to help, one $3,000 grant at a time. Philadelphia pastor Kevin Cropper’s heart sank last month when he saw a message asking for food among the prayer requests emailed to his church. “It was a request for something tangible, and we didn’t have it,” Cropper said. His congregation, Ark of Safety Christian Church, had canceled its weekly food distribution since it ran out of donations when it stopped gathering in March. “It makes you feel bad because isn’t that what our mission is? We want to be able to help in this type of crisis, but we need the resources to do it.” That’s the problem with being a small, inner-city black church during a pandemic. Black adults are more than twice as likely as whites or Hispanic Americans to know someone who has been hospitalized or died due to COVID-19. Their communities are afraid, grieving, and suffering from the virus themselves; and they are far less likely to have the staff, budgets, or space to help as much as they feel called. “We are in the city. We don’t have acres, we stay close to each other, and it’s very easy to spread the virus,” said Kato Hart Jr., pastor of Hold the Light Ministries, a Church of God in Christ (COGIC) congregation in Detroit. American counties with a higher-than-average proportion of black residents now account for half of coronavirus cases and 60 percent of deaths. Even in a church of 50, word keeps spreading of which members have lost relatives to the virus: aunties, uncles, grandparents. Hart has lost fellow brothers in ministry, citing a letter from denominational leadership saying 30 COGIC bishops have fallen to COVID-19—including a dozen in Michigan alone. “We’re in a fight, and we need help. These megachurches, ...Continue reading... Full Article
k Died: Darrin Patrick, Who Used His Fall and Restoration to Help Struggling Pastors By feeds.christianitytoday.com Published On :: Fri, 08 May 2020 13:52:00 GMT (UPDATED) The St. Louis pastor spoke up about the difficulties faced by leaders and critiqued “celebrity culture” in ministry. Darrin Patrick, a megachurch pastor, author, and speaker, has died. Patrick was a teaching pastor at Seacoast Church, a multi-site megachurch based in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and the founding pastor of the Journey Church in St. Louis, where he lived. In a Friday evening update, Seacoast Church stated: “Darrin was target shooting with a friend at the time of his death. An official cause of death has not been released but it appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No foul play is suspected.” Patrick’s unexpected death came as a shock to friends and colleagues. Robby Gallaty, pastor of Long Hollow Baptist, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, said that Patrick was scheduled to speak at his church next weekend. “I just talked to him Tuesday and Wednesday,” said Gallaty. “This is the second close friend I have lost in a year.” Gallaty first met Patrick in 2015 and had invited him to speak the following year at a men’s ministry event at Long Hollow. Just before the event, he said, Patrick called and said he was leaving the ministry. At the time, Patrick had been a rising star among Reformed evangelical circles and was serving as vice-president of the Acts 29 church planting network. He was fired from Journey for what church elders called misconduct including “inappropriate meetings, conversations, and phone calls with two women” and an abuse of power. Despite Patrick’s fall from ministry, the two stayed friends. Patrick admitted his faults and got counseling. He went through a restoration process that lasted 26 months, according to a 2019 blog interview posted at Christianity Today. He returned to the ministry as a preacher but not as a senior pastor of a church. ...Continue reading... Full Article
