The interim report is worth 25% of the total project mark. It should cover the results of the first stage of the project. This report usually consists of the results of the background study and a detailed analysis of the problem with a description of an approach of how to address the problem. The precise nature of this report depends on the project and the agreed deliverables for the interim report in the initial plan to indicate the progress made on the project to account for 25% of the project. For example, it may for some projects also contain an initial version of a final deliverable or some other building block of the overall project. The interim report forms part I of the project and has to be submitted towards the end of the first semester. See your project details in PATS for the submission deadline.
Please check your initial plan in which you should have clearly outlined the deliverables for the interim report. Your supervisor and/or moderator may have left additional comments on your plan on PATS to tell you whether these deliverables are suitable and what they expect for the interim report. Also discuss carefully with your supervisor what you should be including in the interim report. You can deviate from the initial plan, if you have a good reason for this, and should explain this in the report.
The interim report should be at most 5,000 words long. General guidance on project report structures is available in Arranging Material and Structuring the Project Report. A possible structure for your interim report is:
|Title Page
|Table of Contents
|Table of Figures
|Main body
|Table of Abbreviations
If you are implementing a piece of software the "Approach" section above would be the "Specification", possibly with a discussion of how to realise this. For a project addressing a "softer" problem the Approach section may be "Selection of Approach". If instead you intend to compare algorithms it may a "Description of Algorithms" and if you intend to design and and analyse an algorithm it could be "Algorithm Designs". The Conclusions section should briefly conclude only your interim report.
You should adjust the structure of the interim report to your specific project and choose suitable sections to represent this. Please discuss the structure and contents of your interim report with your supervisor. The three main sections / topics you should be covering are (unless differently agreed upon in the initial plan):
The introduction should describe what your project is about, outline the problem you intend to work on and its context and what you aim to achieve.
The background should cover the information that a typical reader cannot be expected to know, but which they will need to know in order to fully understand the project. This covers information about related work that you may either use in your project or that attempts to solve a similar problem.
The approach is a project specific part and should cover details about how you intend to solve the problem. It should cover the deliverables your prescribed in the initial plan for your interim report. This could be the requirements and specification with a design of the whole or part of the problem, or simply the approach you intend to use to gather the requirements and validate your models. You may also describe the algorithms you intend to implement for a more research oriented project. Alternatively it could also cover the design and implementation of a smaller component of your complete system.
The conclusions should be a summary of the main results and the aims of your interim report. You can also mention your future work, intended to be executed for the final report, and to link it to the final report. In some cases you may also wish to provide an update timeplan, from the initial plan, describing how you are continuing the project until the final report submission. This timeplan could be included in as an appendix of the interim report.
After the submission deadline your supervisor and moderator assess the interim report independently of each other. They will submit the marks and their comments on your report on PATS where you will be able to view these. You will be informed by e-mail when these results are available (after the marking deadline as soon as both marks are available). You will have the opportunity to discuss the results and the feedback on the interim report with your supervisor at your regular meeting.
The criteria for assessing the interim report are listed below. Please read these carefully as it will help you to see what your assessors will be looking for in your report. Also take into account what you promised to produce for the interim report in your initial plan, and your supervisor's and moderator's comments on this on PATS. How far you managed to produce these deliverables is part of the interim report assessment.
A mark out of 25 is given on the Report, representing 25% of the total mark. The mark awarded for the Interim Report will be carried over from the first semester, and will be added to the marks given for the initial plan and the final report to give a total mark from each assessor. If their total marks differ by less than 10, the final mark for the project will be the average between the supervisor's and moderator's total mark. If the difference is 10 or greater, they meet together to discuss the reasons for the difference, and try to come to an agreement. If they cannot agree, a third marker will be appointed.
You can resubmit your interim report at any time until the deadline and your supervisor and moderator will not be able to mark this or make any comments online before the deadline. Please discuss your interim report with your supervisor at your regular meetings. You can upload parts of the report onto PATS so that your supervisor can look at these (or give the report in any other way to your supervisor). Just upload the files in the file upload section and your supervisor and moderator can see these there (you can, but do not have to submit them until you have the final version).
Your supervisor and moderator will assess your interim report according to the following criteria:
The scale for this assessment is:

|Wolf Blitzer Visits Auschwitz Jewish Center
Wolf Blitzer recently visited our Auschwitz Jewish Center in Oświęcim. The institution he visited has changed dramatically over the past year. Among the changes are a brand new permanent exhibition, which chronicles Jewish life in Oświęcim, and Café Bergson, which occupies the Kluger house, the home to the last Jewish resident of Oswiecim. This beautifully designed and rebuilt structure pays respect to its past incarnation and to the people who lived there. Café Bergson has been nominated for an award by a design magazine in Poland, and I urge you to vote for it (just scroll down the page...).

365 days with a new mindset.
12 months of workouts.
One year of lessons.
On Jan. 26, 2010, I began a journey to change my life. I walked into the Weight Watchers open house with so many hopes and wishes. So much shame and guilt. So much discouragement. So little self-confidence.
A year later I am 90 pounds lighter (yeah, you read that right. I finally hit my 90 pounds yesterday) and a little bit wiser.
At least I'd like to think so.
So what have I learned since last Jan. 26? Here are just a few highlights.
- As clichéd as it sounds, life really is a marathon and not a sprint. I haven't fallen down and gotten up this much since I first learned to ride a bike.
- Sometimes big goals seem insurmountable. But sometimes small goals actually do seem possible.
- Secrets and shame will keep you stuck in the dark.
- When you share from your heart, people you never expected will support you when you most need it.
- Kale really is good. I promise.
- Every step toward wholeness erases a little bit of chaos. One day at a time.
- Working out does not, in fact, equal death (OK, except for lunges).
- Seriously, eating out of the trashcan is not worth it.
- The ego is a powerful creature. The negative one and the positive one.
- Taking a compliment is hard, yo.
- The kindness of strangers can change your life.
- Diet Coke is a sexy, impossible-to-resist siren.
- .6 pounds can be both triumphant and devastating.
- Freedom from addiction is really, really awesome.
The lessons I've learned are endless. And continuing. I remember when I lost my first 5 pounds. I whined about how many of those I needed to get to my goal. And a wise, wonderful friend (Hi, Kev!) told me to picture where I'd be in a year if I kept earning those 5-pound stars. It was hard to imagine then. It felt so out of my reach. But he was right.
Though I'm not finished by any stretch of the imagination, I have hope for the first time. I am no longer chained to food. I am no longer constrained by my body from the things I want to do.
And that feels like success to me.
My good friend Carla's birthday is Jan. 25. These two photos were taken at her birthday parties, last year and last night, respectively.

There is a wealth of information at our fingertips when it comes to taking care of our bodies. Nutrition, fitness, mental health… how can you even figure out where to begin?
When it comes to nutrition, food plays such an important and integral role in the overall health and well-being of the body. Understanding nutrition starts at the very cellular level, both of the food and of the human body. When you begin to understand how the foods you eat affect even the smallest cell, you can begin to nourish yourself the right way.
It doesn't always seem so simple, though.
You hear conflicting opinions the time. Eat this. Don't eat that. Eat more of those. Don't ever touch any of those! You've been scared away from eating bacon, toasting bread, and touching even a drop of sugar. You're not sure if red wine causes cancer… or cures it? At the end of the day, you're not sure exactly what you should be eating and why. It becomes frustrating and you find yourself stuck in an endless cycle of eating whatever because the alternative is just too "complicated".
But… good nutrition doesn't have to be overly complicated.
Everyone has to start somewhere, and here is a great place to start.

We spent a fun couple of days up in VT with friends recently. Getting there, no problem, although the Golf had one refusal at their steep, twisty, dirt road.
Then it snowed.
Getting *down* said road in the absence of traction control, snow tyres, chains, >2-wheel drive, or other accoutrements was a tad tricky. I left Jenny and the boys at base camp (with the snow-tyred Subaru!) while I tried to get down using the snowbanks as a braking device. Lots of fun, for certain high-epinephrine values of fun!
Almost worked; I only needed one tow truck. Whose driver looked at my almost-bald tyres and managed not to say 'bloody idiot,' instead limiting himself to 'well, no wonder' :).
Yes, I now have new tyres.
Anyway: adventure aside, we took some neat moon photos from the deck of the house.

By now, the dust has settled from Santa's visit and you have likely rung in the New Year with gusto. As those with resolutions head back to the gym and promise to eat healthier, let's take a look back at what some of the great state of Texas' professional sports teams might have wished for from Jolly Ol' Saint Nick.
Dallas Cowboys – A solid offensive line and a few good D-men. Once again the Dallas Cowboys finish the season out of the playoffs and in the middle of the pack. They seem committed to Tony Romo as the man calling the shots behind center, but they have got to get him some protection to stay healthy and buy some time for him to connect with Dez Bryant. Hopefully this offseason they will be able to beef up the offensive line and find some defensive characters that can play up to the abilities of guys like DeMarcus Ware. The solid sacker cannot do it on his own.
Houston Texans – Lots of bubble wrap for their quarterbacks. The team has run through a number of them this season and managed to still end up with a shot at the playoffs. Here's hoping rookie TJ Yates can carry them through and stay injury-free.
Dallas Stars – This team is simply looking for consistency. After a tough loss last week against the league's last-ranked Columbus Blue Jackets, they came out and stunned last year's Stanley Cup Champions, the Boston Bruins on Saturday in a wild New Year's Eve contest. They dropped a close one last night against Detroit, but will need to string together some wins to stay in playoff contention in the tough Western Conference.
Dallas Mavericks – Where to begin? After winning the NBA Title in June, the team has started off this season struggling. After an emotional banner raising at the American Airlines Center, the team put up a dismal performance against the Miami Heat and went on to lose 4 of their first 6 games. Despite signing big name Lamar Odom (welcome Khloe Kardashian?), the Mavs have not looked good and are currently sitting at the bottom of their division.
Houston Rockets: Houston has started the season in the middle of the pack this year, currently sitting at 3-2. While the Rockets could use some help on the court, the one thing they probably did not ask Santa for this year was some dance lessons. Check out this video from their open practice – http://www.nba.com/rockets/video/2011/12/20/RookiesDancing512Kcopymov-1941210/index.html
San Antonio Spurs – Manu Ginobli to heal quickly! Ginobli suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand this week. Spurs fans know he has played hurt, but with the aging team, they need him at his best.

The Accidental Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Brighton Fringe Festival is nearly over, and Thursday hailed the last of my Fringe Doings this year. This time, the show was Tobacco Tea Theatre Company's performance of The Accidental Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. As my parents are Sherlock nerds, they came too.
The performance was held in the same pop-up theatre as The Picture of Dorian Gray, which I wrote about a few weeks ago.
The premise of this play was that Sherlock Holmes unknowingly murders his own client, and sets about to solve the mystery of who did it. But between Watson's rent worries and Moriarty's scheming,
nothing is as straightforward as it seems, which leads to a hilarious and farcical show full of plot twists, wit, and excellent characterisation!
Really enjoyed this play; it was a great way to round off Brighton Fringe!

Stephen Haller Gallery's Core Group of International Artists in Nexus

Stephen Haller Gallery
presents a new exhibition: NEXUS, a gathering together of key works by gallery artists and a forecast of the upcoming season. This group exhibition reveals the connections, the shared sensibility, of the gallerys core group of international artists.
LINDA STOJAKS paintings may be thought of as psychological self-portraits. Her iconography is the human body. Her work emerges out of a great tradition of painting and yet stands as uniquely her own. Linda Stojaks paintings are an exploration of the very essence of what it is to be human. Her work is a highly charged yet subtle exploration of the personal, characterized by immediacy and a palpable painterly quality, and marked by a disquieting beauty.
Exciting new photographer KATE O'DONOVAN COOKS The Waldorf Series explores issues of gender and the ambiguity of relationships. O'Donovan Cook plays with the idealization of a romantic relationship, subverting it by portraying both characters: she is the male and the female engaged in this ambiguous scenario. Her work is characterized by explorations of identity through role playing in ways both theatrical and fantastical. The Waldorf Series is in the permanent collection of the Herbert F Johnson Museum at Cornell.
American painter RON EHRLICH is known for achieving rich surfaces and subtleties of tone. Ehrlich melds the textures rooted in Japanese ceramics with the spontaneity and vitality of action painting. Years spent in Japan studying the art of ceramics at a monastery profoundly influenced Ehrlichs approach to painting. The gifted colorist uses a blow torch among other techniques to meld parts of his paintings in an intensely sophisticated palette. Critic Dominique Nahas wrote: At the heart of Ehrlichs work is its ferocious daemonic energy which pulsates throughout the work.
In the Washington Post, art critic Stephen Parks characterized the paintings of JOHNNIE WINONA ROSS as extraordinarily beautiful and complex objects that evoke a humming meditative state. Douglas Dreishpoon, Chief Curator of the Albright Knox, wrote in the Foreword to Rosss monograph: The balancing of divergent realms, fraught with tension, is a salient characteristic of this work, where temporal forces, like imaginary rivers glimpsed from the heavens, surge beneath plains of pure light. Traces, Rosss upcoming solo museum exhibition, opens at the New Mexico Museum of Art in August.
In his paintings LLOYD MARTIN deals with the transformative nature of time and use, the alterations of the original aspects of his environment - the post-industrial urban setting of his studio. Martin begins his process by photographing his immediate surroundings, yet that influence may be detected only in a color situation or a spatial metaphor. His compositions reflect synthetic rhythms such as the serrations found in ventilation or heating units, or alterations of architectural situations. His work reflects the pleasures of symmetry as found in nature or the constructed.
Austrian-born JOHANNES GIRARDONIS work incorporates the use of enamel, plexiglass, or encaustic and wood creating a structured painting. Peter Lodermeyer, in the recent Girardoni monograph, writes of his work: Opposites and contradictions, as well as the complex dialectic between them, are Girardonis fundamental themes Border experiences and their dialectics as an artistic theme are no contrived, theoretical matter for Girardoni, but constitute structures that are deeply anchored in his personal experience. This Face Box exhibits the mystery inherent in Girardonis work.
The exhibition includes key paintings by the late artist LARRY ZOX, a master of color and form. Zoxs signature style the splicing of a color field to give the sensation of shifting planes has evolved into the graceful looping patterns of his more recent work. Zoxs work is represented in the collections of MoMA, Tate Modern, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum, and the Whitney Museum among many others.
A distinctly fresh new vision has emerged from artist NOBU FUKUIS experience spanning two cultures. Born in Japan, yet for many years a part of the New York art world, Fukui has a very contemporary sensibility steeped in the iconography of popular culture that appeals to both East and West. Oil paint, acrylics, three-dimensional beads, collage, these are some of the ingredients of his exciting new work. In a feature article in Art in America critic Carter Ratcliff writes: Fukui blends a virtuoso control over his materials with an inexhaustible willingness to improvise.
Best known for her hauntingly beautiful photography-based work and video portraits in light, British artist SAM JURY "weaves a contemporary web of illusion and wonder into scenarios of her own design," writes author Michael Rush, former Director of the Rose Art Museum. Recent exhibitions include: forever is never at Herbert F Johnson Museum, Still and Still Moving at the Irish Museum of Modern Art where she was artist-in-residence, Invisible Rays: The Surrealism Legacy at the Rose Art Museum, and Unnatural Selection in London.
KATHY MOSS uses biomorphic forms as intriguing metaphors. Moss employs a meticulous technique to create paintings that are at once intellectually provocative and sensuously appealing. She plays in subtle and sophisticated ways with her subject matter while maintaining a remarkably painterly quality.
French-born artist MICHEL ALEXIS explores language and the written word in his work. Painting and incising marks through the surface of gesso-soaked paper-on-canvas he constructs an evocative new language of the imagination. His use of nearly transparent paper in pale skin tones toys with the provocative, the transgressive, and the playful. Critic Jonathon Goodman in Art in America wrote of Alexis work: The mystery of the painting is considerable; it is as if the artist has worked out a primal language of abstraction that makes sense on an intuitive level.
GREGORY JOHNSTONS work contains suggestions of calligraphic gestures. Critic George Melrod called these Johnstons "icons of textual beauty." Johnston divides his canvas into formal, almost architectural drawing. These paintings represent the mature work of an artist The Wall Street Journal heralded as one of the emerging success stories of his generation.
Louis Zona, Director of the Butler Institute of Art, wrote of RONNIE LANDFIELDS work in the catalogue to his retrospective there: No one exploits color as effectively as he does and few artists possess such a natural sense of organization, where every mark, every shape appears perfectly placed. To stand in front of a Landfield painting is to be transported into a world where color feeds upon color and every inch of the canvas is considered. His work is included in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Whitney, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Hirshhorn, among many others.

Guarantees - Material Alteration of Underlying Contract
Posocco v. Battista (Ont CA, 2016)
In this case the Court of Appeal set out principles applicable to the determination of when a guarantee is still binding, in the face of subsequent changes to the underlying contract which is being guaranteed:
[24] In his reasons, the application judge correctly identified the basic principles concerning how a material alteration of the terms of the underlying contract of debt affects a guarantor's continuing liability under a guarantee: (i) at common law and equity, a guarantor will be released from liability on a guarantee in circumstances where the creditor and the principal debtor agree to a material alteration of the terms of the contract of debt without the consent of the guarantor; however, (ii) it is open to the parties to make their own arrangements, so a guarantor can contract out of the protection afforded by the common law or equity: Manulife Bank of Canada v. Conlin, 1996 CanLII 182 (SCC), [1996] 3 S.C.R. 415, at paras. 2 and 4.

Space to act
Jeux du lieu
The translation of the norwegian title of this picture wasn't easy. The norwegian name has a double play. It means both a gaming room, but also the possibility, ability and a space to act, to take action. The scenery is from Spain, in the city called Cuenca, a few hours drive frome Madrid. The photography that inspired me was shot in the old parts of the city by my little brother, an emerging, talented art photographer (in my opinion). The vivid colors, the worn appearance and narrow spaces make a perfect blend of present and past. It makes you think about the passing times, the different ages, the past and the future. What have the walls here seen? What will they see in the future? People passing by, having discussions, laughing, arguing, playing and fighting. Hence the title "Spillerom".


text:
The many called of God will first come to know Jesus Christ only in the flesh. From out of the multitudes that know Christ in the flesh, the Lord will drag a few chosen thru the veil of flesh into the realm of the spirit. These few are God's Elect who are given this blessing and the spiritual healing that comes with it. It is when this veil is removed that our blindness is healed and we are given to see and to hear spiritually. With ears to hear and eyes to see, such blessed men and woman will be given to see past the letter of the Scripture and begin to understand the mysteries of the kingdom.
Mat 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
Unless and until this happens, all the Lord's doing, we will not understand what is really being said in the Scriptures. I can attest we will think otherwise but will have no clue until Christ is revealed to us in our appointed times.
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
At this stage of our walk we are yet carnal and remain unconverted. We may well have cleaned up the outside of our cup while in Babylon and will be doing many good works, but the fact remains our hearts will not be circumcised until the Lord returns a second time to bring judgment against our old man and carnal nature. We won't know Him and have eternal life abiding in us, until our "day of the Lord" has begun in earnest.
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Christ will come again to make war in our heavens and that is how salvation will come and how we will then know He is the Lord.
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Once faith has come and the Spirit given to God's Elect (no free will involved) then as babes we will learn and grow quickly. The original Apostles who walked with Christ for 3.5 years remained unconverted themselves and Pentecost was just the beginning of their walk in the Spirit. They still had everything to learn and much to unlearn as the Scriptures tell us as they matured in the true faith. We like Peter and ALL disciples will think we are already converted and see when we are still blind as bats not knowing who Christ truly is.
Luk 18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. (We can't do the works of God until faith comes and the Spirit is given)
Mat 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples (you and me all of us will live these words, it was not just Peter)
Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
There is no avoiding it. We can't shortcut God's plan and not live the words of God that say we will first serve Him in the flesh but not know Him in the spirit. Before we know the real Jesus and understand Christ we will follow and know Him only in the flesh and will have no spiritual understanding as carnal babes in Babylon. But a day will come when the Lord returns to make war in our heavens and that is when we will begin to be taught the deep mysteries of the kingdom and know Christ in spirit
2Co 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (even the Jesus we knew in the flesh)
Understanding We Live By Every Word
Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
God's ways are not the ways of the carnal mind and the carnal mind will think the ways of the Lord are foolishness. This verse below quoted in both Matthew and Luke, from what Christ spoke in Deuteronomy is a stumbling block to those that walk after the flesh who are yet carnal and claim they see but are indeed spiritually blind. That is all of us at one time because as we saw above when Christ comes to us the second time, those that say they are blind will be given sight and those that claim they see will be made blind.
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Deu 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Few are given to understand the depth of this statement by Christ. He did not say man should follow the 10 commandments when He spoke these words. That is what Babylonian doctrine teaches, the Scriptures teach something entirely different — the truth. The truth is man will live by every word God spoke in the Scriptures which is His word. Nothing will be left out and we have specific warnings in Revelation 22 about those that will add to or take away from the words of God. For those given eyes to see, they will come to know that they will live by every word in the Scriptures. This means they will see themselves in every verse of the Bible. The verses are not speaking about somebody else, they are speaking about you and me and all men in the appointed times. It does take time to grow and to fully appreciate what living every word really means but the Lord will give the increase when we are able to bear it. So when you see this you are blessed indeed as then you as the reader "will understand" and Christ's appearing is at the very door.
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
CHRIST IS (not was) COME IN THE FLESH
The mystery of living by every word comes with the understanding that Christ is the first Adam (sinful marred vessel of clay, the old man with a carnal mind) and the second Adam (the Lord from heaven, the new man). Christ is the first and the last.
1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Christ being the alpha and the omega means that we are Jesus Christ (part of the BODY, not the head) as we come into this world as the first man Adam and in the appointed times are transformed into the Lord from heaven, the new man. Christ was made sin not when He died on the cross, but when He came in the likeness of sinful flesh. FLESH IS SIN, Christ's flesh was sin and our flesh is sin and as God's Elect, we are in Him and He is in us. He is the the alpha and the omega.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Christ having already overcome sinful flesh suffered thru all the same temptations we do yet He was without sin. But having done this, He is our high priest and is able to give us comfort in our time of temptation. All the lies of Babylon about Christ being immaculately conceived and having a different kind of flesh is nonsense and is another jesus. Jesus Christ HAS come and IS coming NOW, in sinful flesh. He is in my flesh right now making war in my heavens and bringing judgment upon the old man and cleansing His temple which temple I am and all of God's Elect will be.
Act 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Act 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Knowing where is heaven and what the earth refers to is paramount to understand what is being said. Anyone who denies this is still of their father the devil, is yet carnal and is antiChrist with their beliefs and are serving another jesus following a false gospel.
1Jn 4:2-3 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Israel – The Body of Christ On Which the Head Sits
Isa 49:3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Understanding "The Christ" thru which Christ does all His work today is giant mystery that carnal minds will yell blasphemy when they hear such things; but they simply do not understand. The Scriptures remains sealed unto them and it simply has not been given them to understand as many are called and only few are chosen. God's Elect are not Jesus Christ the head, but we are indeed Jesus Christ THE BODY. Until Christ was resurrected in a spiritual body He had no place to lay His head and that was the parable being spoken about below. Jesus was not suggesting we become homeless vagabonds as many carnal holy rollers will lead you to believe. No, Jesus wanted to get on with building His church and bringing fire into the earth of His chosen vessels.
Mat 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Luk 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
The WORD is Christ and is within all those who are His body, the very Elect. That same Word is also called 'fire' in the scriptures and lo and behold, that fire is found in the same place Christ and His Word are to be found:
Jer 5:14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them [God's witnesses], fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Eventually all men will be dragged to Christ and be saved, all but the Elect at the White Throne Judgment. Paul speaking to the Greeks at Mars Hill plainly tells us what organized religion can never accept.
Act 17:28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
A loving father is not going to torment his own children forever without end. Utter carnal delusion. So ultimately all men are Israel and Christ will dwell in all His people, but for now, God's purposes is to save only the few His Elect. Hence Paul wrote of this parable and riddle that continues to confound the wisdom of the wise.
Rom 9:6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Rom 11:26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
It is God purposes to save the many thru the few and God's Elect, the Body of Christ will be the rulers and judges in the ages to come. It is our speaking the words of fire that is the lake of fire and the words "of Christ" that will judge the multitudes in righteousness. Christ made clear that it would be "the words I have spoken" which would judge all men:
Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
So Christ's words are fire in the mouths of His elect, and we are all being judged by that very same fire now in this age:
1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
First and Last & Alpha and Omega
Christ is the first and the last. The Alpha and Omega and all points in-between. ALL THINGS ARE OF GOD. He causes all the good and all the evil. Yet the carnal mind and doctrines of Babylon have another jesus. Lightness and darkness is the same to the Lord.
Psa 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
He is not evil but indeed works evil for good and creates it for His purposes.
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Rom 8:28 And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
So knowing these things, begins to unlock the mystery of what life is all about. If we are God's Elect then we are told we are His temple, that is where He dwells right now sitting in our heavens.
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
We are God's house if we are His Elect. Not only does judgment begin with us and we are judged first, but in our house are both honorable and dishonorable things. God uses them both to accomplish His will.
2Ti 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
And ultimately thru judgment, the dishonorable things are purged from our lives, our bodies, our minds and the heavens that are within. The wood, hay and stubble, the dishonorable things will be purged with fire and heat.
2Ti 2:21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
And once He completes this refining and destruction of our carnal nature, then we as part of His Elect, His ministers of flame on this earth can be used to do the greater works that Christ spoke about.
Mal 3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
But these works cannot commence until our prior carnal works where we thought we served God but worked against Him and denied His name are burned up in the fire of His word during our judgment.
1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Christ being the first Adam in all of us just goes to show that it was God's purposes for us to live every word and to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We cannot become like gods until we do so. We have to live by every word.
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
And this includes are very sins, the evil we commit and live by until the Lord brings judgment to us and causes us to obey His commandments.
Isa 63:17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Pro 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
While we are these bodies of flesh, full of the law of sin and death, we cannot help but sin and it is only by His grace that we are given little by little the dominion to overcome. Only God's very Elect will be given this dominion, which is salvation in this age. The rest will be saved in the Lake of Fire.
So hopefully some of the readers will see the heresy in the carnal doctrine that man was made perfect and believe the Babylonian lie of the fall of mankind. The fact is we were created sin. Flesh is sin and nothing good dwells in it.
Psa 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
One day we will live these words and speak what David spoke and then we will understand that even Jesus Christ in a body of flesh was not good.
Mar 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
The Scriptures, the very words we live by everyone tell us of God's plan. We will live the darkness and live the sins that are written in the Book.
Jer 18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
Jer 18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
The details of our lives will be different but the one event will be the same and that is living by every word, and this begins with being the vessel of dishonor, the virtual sinning machine in a body of sinful flesh. We will walk in strong delusion long before in His mercy the Lord opens our eyes to see His wonderful works to the children of men.
Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
This is the remarkable truth of the Lord's plan for us all. One that we will never believe even if a man declares it unto us. We will first be mockers of this truth.
Act 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
If we are so blessed to be His Elect, then the veil of flesh will be removed and the Body of Christ will come to us and open the seals from the Book. Then we shall see.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Rev 5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
I did not understand all of this at first. It took a couple of years of me eating the true bread from heaven and being in the midst of Christ to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. Now I have been given a ministry to feed the flock and to bring the lost sheep into the fold. There won't be many of them in this age as many are called and few are chosen, yet the Lord has been faithful to give me those opportunities and to even bring forth fruit of that labor.
Praise God for Him giving the increase to seed sown and water poured out.
1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
I can now look behind and see where the Lord has taken me. It is not me living, it is Christ living in me. I know there is much still to be lived and to learn yet for each new day we are given, I can truly say thank you Lord for the "all things" that have been given to me.
1Co 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
1Co 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
1Co 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
The parable of Christ ascending into the clouds where He sits at in heaven at the right hand of God tells those with eyes to see where Christ dwells. Carnal eyes won't be able to see where Christ went as it must be spiritually discerned.
Act 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Act 1:10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Again if we know where heaven then we can begin to understand the mystery.
Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Christ comes in the clouds, that is where everyone will see Him in due time. Those clouds are God's Elect.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Rev_11:12And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Rev_14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
The Body of Christ is the clouds, we are His witnesses, it is us who have the testimony of Jesus Christ and loved not our life unto death.
Heb 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Jesus Christ has a Christ and it is these witnesses that are likened to clouds in Scripture. These clouds are the lights unto this dark world but the cloud that is Christ is both light and darkness. To those very few God is dragging to Himself now, the clouds will be light in the night but to those carnal multitudes in Babylon who are not being dragged, the very same cloud is utter darkness. I have shared this Scripture lately that foretell of this mysterious way of the Lord.
Exo 14:20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
Exo 19:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever
I hope this post has brought you to see that we are Jesus Christ if we are His Elect. We are not the head but we are the body and consider who Jesus Christ the head says we are when speaking to our persecutors. Paul never saw the Lord when He was in His own personal body of flesh yet heed the words of the Lord.
Act 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Act 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
If we can't say this is true then it is not true. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Just like our head, we will be hated and persecuted for doing what He did. Those in Babylon will seek to kill Christ in us that is speaking these truths.
Joh 5:18 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.
It takes time to grow in our understanding of the depth of God's wisdom and to understand the meat of His word. We are not given it all at once, it is fed to us as we are able to receive it.
Joh 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
We will close with a review of the warnings of adding to or taking away from our part in the book.
All of us will at first be adding to and taking away from the book of life in which the names of God's Elect are written and in due time will include the names of all men. We have Scripture that tells us what happens and these too are words we shall live by in due time.
If we add to the words of God, we just are given more false doctrines, the plagues to deceive us and keep us blinded from the truth.
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
If we subtract or take away from the book, saying those words do not apply to us, then we have no part in the book of life which means we do not know the Lord and are following another jesus.
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
When we take away from the book, we don't know Him and have not eternal life abiding in us.
Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
I pray this has helped some of you see the bigger picture and to appreciate more that it is the SUM OF THY WORD that is truth. Only taking "some" of it is another jesus.
Psa 119:160 The sum of Your word is truth
Please email me at email@example.com if you have questions or relevant comments.
Your brother living that one event that comes alike to all of us,
Ecc 9:2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

The Freedom Gundam recreation is one that my inner anime geek can truly appreciate. This 4-foot model is made entierly out of paper even though it looks like it could be made out of plastic. The Freedom Gundam (code name: ZGMF X09A), a robot that any anime fan will recognize, was made by Taras Lesko.
If you check out the video, you will see how much hard work and effort was put into this masterpiece. If you had the time, skill and all the paper in the world, would you try to recreate Freedom Gundam?

The 18th Miss Earth 2018 grand Coronation Night is less than three weeks to go. Philipines is the host of this year's pageant with astonishing preparation. Despite the ancitcipation of the event, a-year-long discussion is of course the participants. Each country choose their delegates at their own discretion. The decisions are made differently including the time of each country publish it. The recent updates of the miss earth 2018 delegates is the joining is the Margo Fargo who represents South Africa for the pageant.
It's the pageant which specifically looks for a "campaigner" for global warming and any environmental issues. Miss Earth will do her campaing for a year long until she's dethroned in the next pageant edition. Philippines is actually the home country to Miss Earth Organization. This country is also the "reign" of this pageant with four times of winning and more for runner up. So, Miss Earth 2018 is back to home this year.
The Franchise is managed by the Carousel productions and 18 years old this year. The pageant seems to be the alternative to similar franchises like Miss Universe, Miss World, etc. So , you can imagine how the selections are runby the countries to get their own miss earth 2018 delegates this year. They should possess an advanced acknowledgement to envrionmental issues which are complex and dynamic. It's not "merely" a beauty contest for sure. However, the beauty and environemental awareness isn't a paradox, not for this pageatnt.
There will be more than 90 miss earth 2018 delegates contending in the world's and they're all stunning. The pageant would dethrone Miss Earth 2017, Karen Ibasco. She'll crown the winner of Miss Earth 2018 pageant in Philippines. Some miss earth 2018 delegates are now laready in the Phillipines to prepare themselves for the crowning night. It's very interesting since there were only 35 miss earth 2018 delegates in this January. The number remained stucked until the middle period of this year.
It's also an optimism that the number would exceed 100 which may also represents how the campaingn aren't only iconic but also works. It's due to the fact that in the early 2018, only 80 countries are formerly expected to be miss earth 2018 delegates for sure. However, enthusiasm is now converting to the participation. More and more miss earth 2018 delegates are joining the pageant. There is no the closing date confirmed, it means that the number of participant isn't fixed yet.

Now That Name Sounds Familiar…
By Greg L | 15 August 2011 | 31st HOD District | 6 Comments
Delegate Scott Lingamfelter has a Democrat challenger this cycle, and it was worth looking at Roy Coffey's finance disclosure this reporting period to try to figure out how he spent more money than he took in to leave him with only a paltry $5k or so to challenge Lingamfelter. Part of the reason for the deficit was payments to what might seem to be his campaign manager, a Ms. Ilana Kaplan. Now that name sounds awfully familiar. Could it be? Could it possibly be a reprise of one of my favorite campaign smack-downs of all time?
Could Roy Coffey have actually hired "Used Condom Girl" as his campaign manager? That would just be too funny.

Well, thats really the best they can do. I suppose we should feel sorry for them. Not vote for them, just feel sorry for them.
Logical Thinker said on 15 Aug 2011 at 8:50 pm:
This can't be true. Nobody is that stupid…that is, no one should BE that stupid…
NUT PATROL said on 15 Aug 2011 at 9:32 pm:
Who in the heck would hire a campaign manager who became a huge distraction two years ago because she had the campaign assume ownership of photos of used condoms floating in toilets for legal purposes? Not only does this campaign manager display shocking bad choices, but brings enormous baggage to the campaign.
I bet Coffey never bothered to check out this idiots background before hiring her.
Nobama 2012 said on 15 Aug 2011 at 9:44 pm:
So let me get this straight. Coffey's first official hiring action is to bring on this sort of character? What does that say about his judgment? I guess she failed to mention that among her skills was this interesting "talent" for posting vile pictures of condoms in her hotel toilet on her Facebook page. Coffey must conduct one heck of a job interview if he came up with this hire.
Oh well…Coffey seems pretty much like Obama. They're both far out liberals who are clueless as to what's happening in America and Virginia.
Remember when the Obama administration hired Kevin Jennings to be Assistant Deputy Secretary for Safe and Drug-Free Schools in the U.S. Department of Education? He was the guy who founded the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which advocates for acceptance of homosexuality among public school students.
So Coffey's first official act is to hire a person you wouldn't leave your kids alone with…pathetic. If he had any sense of decency he would send her back to the swamp she came from. But he won't. He will stand by his…well whatever….
Egg on the face said on 15 Aug 2011 at 9:56 pm:
Since when did Lingamfelter get an opponent?
Regardless, offey's choice to hire this chick is just another bad decision coming from his campaign. The first bad decision was even bothering to get into that race…

Decorator's Buttercream Icing
Toba Garrett (published in her book Professional Cake Decorating)
This is a delicious crusting buttercream recipe that is perfect for piping, as well as frosting cupcakes and cakes.
1 lb unsalted butter
8 oz solid vegetable shortening or high ratio shortening
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
3 lb confectioner's sugar, sifted
3 tbsp meringue powder, sifted
4-1/2 fl oz heavy cream
Place the butter and shortening in the mixer bowl and mix on medium-high speed with a paddle attachment for 3 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl. Cream for an additional 60 seconds.
Add the vanilla and salt and mix until combined. Gradually add the sugar, then the meringue powder. The mixture will appear dry.
Add the liquid and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, 5 to 8 minutes. Once the buttercream is made, keep the bowl covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
Store the icing in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
This is my favorite crusting buttercream recipe! Toba Garrett, an amazing cake decorator and baker, graciously allowed me to feature this recipe from her book Professional Cake Decorating. Thank you Toba!

Quarantine Inscriptions from Australia's Immigrant Past
Out now!
By Peter Hobbins, Ursula K. Frederick and Annie Clarke
Sailing to Australia in 1835, 16-year-old John Dawson watched in alarm as three of his sisters developed smallpox. Although all survived this dreaded disease, their faces bore tell-tale scars for the rest of their lives. Yet John left an even more enduring memento of his family's perilous voyage in the soft sandstone of North Head, at the entrance to Sydney Harbour.
Carving a lengthy message proclaiming that the Dawsons had 'landed here to perform quarantine', John began a tradition that continued until Sydney's Quarantine Station finally closed in 1984. During its 150 years of operation, nearly 16,000 people were held in isolation on this beautiful headland. Interned for days, weeks or even months, many followed John's example, leaving an extraordinary gallery of more than 1600 carved and painted sandstone inscriptions.
Combining intensive archaeological investigation and historical research, Stories from the Sandstone illuminates Australia's past through the portal of these intriguing and often evocative inscriptions, as well as North Head's numerous headstones. Drawing upon historical records, diaries and other writings, the book highlights the dramatic personal and social effects of diseases – such as bubonic plague, typhus fever, 'Spanish' flu and smallpox – that once terrified the community. We learn where the authors of the inscriptions came from, why they left their homeland and what became of them.
With well-researched text and fascinating contemporary and historical images, Stories from the Sandstone conveys the compelling personal stories of lives lived not just in despair, but also in hope for the future. The result is a captivating and intensely felt picture of the making of our society.

Advertiser & Editorial Disclosure
Small businesses have been at the center of the Obamacare debate since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) first became law in 2010, so it should come as no surprise that some of the biggest changes proposed by the recently-revealed reform bill involve business owners.
The American Health Care Act (AHCA), the White House-backed replacement bill, is much shorter than its ACA counterpart, standing at 66 pages currently. The major changes in the bill would have a major impact on small business owners — both the "49ers" often cited by ACA opponents who say the mandate for businesses with 50 or more employees to provide coverage to their employees is forcing them to keep their business smaller than they'd like, as well as entrepreneurs who have been struggling to find affordable personal coverage on the public marketplace while they launch a business on a tight budget.
Here are the major impacts the bill (in its current state) would have on small business owners and how the small business community has received the proposed changes.
1. Elimination of the Employer Mandate Penalty
Obamacare mandated that employers with more than 50 full-time employees must provide a healthcare plan for their staff. There are certain requirements on what these plans must cover and if companies opt not to provide that coverage, they are subject to hefty penalties to the U.S. government. Under the proposed reform bill, the mandate won't be repealed, technically, but the penalty will be set to $0, effectively removing the mandate for business owners.
"Repealing the employer mandate won't impact the vast majority of small businesses since they aren't subject to it anyway, and 96% of businesses with more than 50 employees already offered health insurance before the mandate," Rhea Aguinaldo, Northern California Outreach Manager for Small Business Majority said. "The bottom line for small business owners is that they have benefited from the ACA, and many of the proposals in the American Health Care Act will make things worse for small employers because it will throw the insurance market into chaos and increase the costs/availability of insurance plans for businesses. Lawmakers would be better off bolstering the ACA than overhauling it."

2. No More Individual Mandate
Individuals who don't have health insurance will no longer have to pay tax penalties for lack of coverage. For many small business owners who don't provide an employer-sponsored plan because of the cost or because they have too few employees and aren't required to include it, this may come as a big relief. Under the mandate, if you went without health insurance for more than three months in 2016, the penalty was $695 per adult and $347.50 per child (a family's penalty is capped at $2,085), or 2.5% of your household income above the tax return filing threshold for your filing status – whichever is greater. There are some exceptions to the fee.
Instead of the individual mandate, the new plan does have a 30% premium penalty that the uninsured will have to pay their insurance company if they've had a gap in coverage. The goal of this penalty is to encourage Americans to have continuous coverage.
"The effort is a good first step and America's smallest business community – the self-employed and micro-businesses – applaud efforts to eliminate the unfair individual mandate, while preserving key safeguards from the prohibition on the ban on pre-existing conditions to ensuring coverage to age 26 and lifetime coverage caps," Katie Vlietstra, Vice President of Public Affairs and Government Relations for the National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE), said in a statement last week. She also urged lawmakers to provide tax credits to incentivize Americans to get insured instead of punishing them for not having coverage.
The Bottom Line: Cost
Small business advocacy groups are split on some of the proposed reforms under the AHCA, as are many small business owners themselves. It could impact the small business community very differently, depending on the size of your business and your personal health care options if you don't offer employer coverage. As Aguinaldo points out, many very small shops have taken advantage of the Medicaid expansion under the ACA while their income is low as they grow their business. But larger small businesses may be struggling to grow under the cost of increasing premiums, which they share with employees (for the most part — some small businesses cover 100% of premiums for employees).
According to a 2016 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, employers take on the majority of premium costs for employees. On average, employees with single coverage paid 18% of their premiums, while employees with family coverage paid 30%. For small businesses, employees often paid larger shares of their premiums, however, topping 50% at times for family coverage from small businesses.
Cost is king for small businesses when it comes down to deciding which plans to offer employees or whether to offer coverage at all. It's a perk most employees want, since employers tend to cover at least a portion of the premium cost, but small businesses can really struggle with the cost of providing premium coverage.
And increased healthcare costs can have a major impact on your small business. Besides the obvious impact it can have on your bottom line and profitability as a company — that money has to come from somewhere, after all — it can also impact your ability to access business credit when you need it. Cash flow is one of the most important things, next to your personal and business credit scores, that lenders examine when you apply for a business loan. If your cash flow is being eaten up by costs like healthcare premiums, it can hamper your ability to get a loan to grow your business when you need it. You can read this guide to cash flow to get a better understanding of what lenders look for in the underwriting process, and you can check your personal and business credit scores for free on Nav.com to see where you stand before you apply for a loan.

Sometimes super groups just don't work, it's like a basket ball team with 5 superstars and they don't win the championship. In the case of the Traveling Wilburys it worked wonderfully.
I think most of the reason that it worked so well was that they had no intentions of big success. That's not what they set out to do. They all liked each other. They all liked music, and they were hanging out playing, so it just naturally happened. A rare thing in today's world. All egos were set aside. They just wanted to have fun. What a concept.
Can you imagine being Tom Petty, a pretty successful artist is his own right looking across the room, and there's Jeff Lynne(ELO), Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, oh yeah and that other guy….that Beatle, George Harrison !! Must have tickled him right down to his socks. And for George to just be one of the guys. It's what they all wanted, to just be in a band together. Sometimes you have to go back to the root of something to find the original joy and it's always the best part. Go check The Traveling Wilburys out….You'll dig em for sure !

RICHLANDS � Northside�s smallest starter and youngest one played beyond their size and age Wednesday night.
RICHLANDS � Northside�s smallest starter and youngest one played beyond their size and age Wednesday night.
Kayla Hill, a 5-foot-4 senior, scored 18 points and freshman Erin Bowerman scored all 12 of her points in the fourth quarter to lead the top-seeded Monarchs to a 56-42 victory over fourth-seeded Clinton in the semifinals of the East Central 2-A Conference girls� basketball tournament at Richlands High.
�The way Kayla played and how strong she played and the way Erin came through in the fourth quarter, that was the final knockout punch tonight,� Northside coach Chad Novelli said. �They came to play.�
And because of their efforts, Northside (21-4) advanced to the ECC tournament final for the fifth consecutive season, where on Friday night the Monarchs will play tonight�s winner between third-seeded East Duplin and No. 7 Swansboro.
Northside, this year�s outright regular-season champion, has won the previous three conference tournament titles.
�We feel like we have to defend our title,� Hill said. �We didn�t want to come out here and lose because of our nervousness.�
This marked the Monarchs� third win this season over the Dark Horses (18-8). Each of the previous games came down to the end, but this time Northside built a 14-point lead early in the fourth quarter and fought off any attempt of a Clinton rally.
Down 43-29, the Dark Horses got to within 49-42 with 3:06 left, but the Monarchs scored the final seven points.
�When you play them � they can get to the paint so fast and hit outside shots and 14, 16 points can go away real fast,� Novelli said. �We got on our heels just a little bit there for a second and it was a wake-up call that they weren�t going to go down easy.
�To beat a team like Clinton with the talent they have, especially on the perimeter, and who is as well-coached as they are, is a testament once again to what these girls can do.�
Bowerman, a 5-9 center, was a reason the Monarchs again beat Clinton.
She started the fourth quarter by making a baseline jump shot that gave Northside a 37-26 lead.
After Clinton�s Bianca Owens made a 3-pointer with 3:06 left to pull the Dark Horses to within 49-42, Ashanti Curry made a free throw for Northside to extend the lead.
Moments later, Curry missed two free throws, but Bowerman got the rebound and scored to make it 52-42 with 1:15 left. Bowerman, who ended with 13 rebounds, then completed a three-point play after a putback with nine seconds left for the final margin.
�Our freshman, Erin, she got big on the boards and our momentum changed,� Hill said. �Normally, she�s scared to go back up with the ball, but we told her that once she gets the rebounds, go back up. That�s what she did and it paid off for her.�
But while Bowerman was the key late, Hill sparked the Monarchs earlier.
Hill scored 14 points between the second and third quarters to give Northside room to breathe after the two teams struggled to score early.
The game was tied at 13-13 when Hill made a free throw with 2:15 left in the second quarter to give Northside the lead for good. She then followed with a jumper and a layup to give her squad an 18-13 lead.
Hill then scored 9 points in the third quarter.
�Kayla was playing smart,� Novelli said. �They were playing her tight, and obviously when they�re playing you tight, you want, especially the guards we have, to attack. Kayla was attacking with the best of them tonight and I like it when she is able to do that and willing to do that.
�I like it when she has the confidence to do that and I hope she continues to have it.�
Hill, who also had 6 steals, said her confidence grew with each drive to the basket.
�Once I made one, I got my confidence,� she said. �I knew coach told us to go to the basket.�
Curry added 11 points, Journee Collins had 9 points and 9 rebounds and Lizzie Perez had 6 points and 10 rebounds for the Monarchs.
Courtney Pearsall and Lexus Simpson each scored 10 points for the Dark Horses, who were outrebounded 46-29 by the Monarchs, a stat that didn�t surprise Novelli, despite Northside�s lack of size besides Bowerman.
�I�ve been able to watch these girls progress and they have learned to play down low,� Novelli said. �Anybody is willing to go up for a rebound. We don�t rely on any set group of players to get rebounds. Anybody can go up and get it.�
Clinton 7 8 11 16 � 42
Northside 8 10 17 21 � 56
Pearsall 10, Simpson 10, Owens 3, Glasper 6, Johnson 6, Murphy 5, Edwards 2. Totals� 16-48 9-15 42.
Bowerman 12, Hill 18, Curry 11, Collins 9, Perez 6. Totals� 21-59 12-26 56.
3-Point Goals� C 1 (Owens), N 2 (Perez 2). Rebounds� C 29 (Murphy 9), N 46 (Bowerman 13, Perez 10, Collins 9). RECORDS� C: 18-8, vs. TBA in state 2-A playoffs. N: 21-4, vs. Swansboro-East Duplin winner on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in final.

Top Dem: Destroy 'sanctuary' for ISIS overseas (The Hill)
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) admitted Monday that eliminating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) requires re-capturing its physical territories.
"Ultimately, it is going to require us to eliminate that sanctuary in Iraq and Syria," he told host Steve Inskeep on NPR's "Morning Edition."
"As long as that sanctuary exists for ISIS, they will continue to attack us," said Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
"The longer they hold ground the longer we're at risk," he added. "Something is going to have to change the dynamic.
"I don't think the airstrikes alone or the small numbers of so-called moderate Syrian rebels are going to be enough to evaporate this scourge in these countries in a reasonable period of time"
Schiff's remarks follow last week's massacre of about 130 people across Paris in coordinated attacks across the French capital. ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the massacre and is threatening Washington, D.C. with similar bloodshed.
Schiff said Monday that the terrorist organization's recent actions in France and other nations show their strategy is evolving.
"I think in their first year of existence they were really concentrated on forming their caliphate, building their caliphate and defending their caliphate," he said of ISIS's genesis in 2014. "In their second year, they are very much opening up a second front in their war against the West.
"They are lashing out at anyone who attacks them," he added. "Clearly, they are trying to bring their fight to other countries around the world."
Schiff then argued that the U.S. is between a rock and a hard place on how it counters the extremist organization in the future.
"I don't think the answer is another massive American ground presence in either Iraq or Syria," he said.
"I do think we're going to have to explore things we didn't want to embark upon such as a buffer zone or safe zone which allows the opposition to ISIS to be trained and equipped."
French fighter jets began pounding ISIS's stronghold of Raqqa, Syria on Sunday as punishment for last week's violence.
President Obama announced Monday that using ground troops against the extremist group would be "a mistake" for the U.S. military.
Critics say that Obama's strategy of containment has failed by letting ISIS plot new and more devastating attacks from their self-styled caliphate.
