Sick of the Pain Pills?
At Ludwig Chiropractic, Dr. Alan Ludwig is passionate about helping patients get well and stay well for a lifetime. That means helping them say goodbye to prescription pain pills and hello to an invigorating, naturally healthy life.
Opioids are a class of drugs that include both illegal drugs and synthetic opioids such as pain relievers available legally by prescription like oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, and many others.
According to a report in USA Today, the U.S. had more than 64,000 drug overdose deaths in 2016 — more people died from overdoses than those who were killed in the 20-year Vietnam War. Something is terribly wrong here.
Americans, constituting only 4.6 percent of the world's population, have been consuming 80 percent of the global opioid supply, and 99 percent of the global hydrocodone supply.
How effective is chiropractic as your option to neck and back pain?
In a review of over 16,000,000 cases, patients were determined to be better off starting with chiropractic care for musculoskeletal issues like neck and low back pain. In addition, it was more cost-effective than medical care and physical therapy by as much as 300%.
What a person is looking for is Hope. Hope is a flicker of belief that there is still a chance.

I qualified as a dentist at Guy's Hospital in 1991, and entered general dental practice for a year in London. After that I gained experience as a house officer (junior doctor) in maxillofacial (jaw and face) surgery in Belfast and subsequently as a senior house officer (junior doctor) in Chichester and Worthing.
From there I moved to the paediatric dentistry department at Manchester Dental Hospital for a year before starting my three year specialist training in Norwich and King's Lynn.
I completed my consultant training in Bristol and Bath in 2003, and then moved to London to take up a consultant position at the Royal London Hospital and Epping. I moved back to the South West in 2006 to take up my current position at Musgrove Park Hospital and Yeovil District Hospital.
My particular area of interest is in treating patients requiring multidisciplinary care involving surgery to the teeth and those requiring restorative care (bridges or implants).

Supreme Court Appeal Request Denied: Teen Arrested For Burping
May 17, 2017 by Nathan Dimoff, posted in Bad Piggy
On May 15th 2017, The U.S. Supreme Court decided to not bring a civil rights lawsuit against Albuquerque Police Officer Arthur Acosta for arresting an unidentified 13-year-old seventh-grade Cleveland Middle School boy who burped repeatedly during his P.E. class. Instead of sending the boy to the principal's office, the teacher called the schools resource officer who led the teen to the school's office and then placed him under arrest for violating New Mexico's school disruption law back in 2011. The misdemeanor law makes it a crime to "disrupt, impair, interfere with or obstruct the lawful mission, processes, procedures or functions of a public or private school."
The mother of the now eighteen-year-old attempted to bring an appeals case up in the Supreme Court due to the lower courts siding with the officer but the justices refused to hear the appeal due to the fact that the lower court granted him qualified immunity, a legal defense that protects certain public officials from suits as long as they did not violate a clearly established law or constitutional right. The mothers suit was for seeking monetary damages from Acosta, claiming unlawful arrest and excessive force in violation of the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment. The documents also show a separate incident, on Nov. 8, when he was forced to strip to his underwear while five adults watched after he was accused of selling marijuana to another student. He was never charged with a crime in that incident.
According to the court documents the boy was an athlete who played on a traveling baseball team and "has the natural ability and desire to excel in P.E." before being suspended for the rest of the year without "providing him an explanation of the evidence the school claimed to have against him." And it said he was denied the right to call witnesses or present his side of the story.
Justice Neil Gorsuch was one of the judges that previously ruled in the previous lower court cases being the only dissenter in the 2-1 ruling, therefor he did not take part in considering whether to take up the case. Gorsuch original said that the boy should not have been arrested for intentionally belching.
According to Business Insider:
Gorsuch wrote that the boy should not have been arrested for "trading fake burps for laughs in gym class." Quoting Charles Dickens, Gorsuch said the law is not as much of an "ass" to lead to that.
In her appeal to the Supreme Court, the teen's mother said Acosta should have known that New Mexico law clearly establishes that arrests of school children must be reserved for violent offenses or when other students are at risk of harm.

Maintaining an adequate healthcare workforce remains a top priority throughout Nebraska. Although providers, educators and legislators throughout the state are diligently working to retain existing healthcare personnel, while also increasing the supply of future professionals, significant gaps between the workforce demand and supply continually challenge the industry.
The economic health of communities is not compromised by lack of health services availability for both small and large businesses.
Ensuring an adequate healthcare workforce for Nebraska citizens requires creating a statewide agenda, primarily based on input from stakeholders across the state. With so many moving parts and so many different programs in disparate agencies, there needs to be a body specifically assigned to examine and make recommendations regarding Nebraska's healthcare workforce.
To promote these collaborative efforts, the Nebraska Healthcare Workforce Task Force was collaboratively created in 2011. As a result of the work performed by the Nebraska Healthcare Workforce Task Force, this collective website was designed and developed, containing data and information, shortage projections, job opportunities, educational information, and links to key healthcare-related resources.


Although many other projects are concerned about market conditions, we definitely resonate with ShapeShift CEO, Erik Voorhees, on building the future of crypto. OPEN has continued to make tremendous technical progress over the past few weeks with our Github nearing 3,000 commits!
This puts OPEN in the TOP 10 of all crypto projects in terms of technical development.
Our API has been released with all the documentation covering environment variables and Ethereum client services. Additional testing on the client UI and address validation for developers has been undertaken. This allows developers to begin accepting cryptocurrencies in their applications and ensure that the funds are transferred to the appropriate address.
With our latest API 2.6.2 release, we are creating a new OPEN payment widget which can be placed on any seller's website to allow an easy transfer of cryptocurrencies from users to merchants. This is extremely important for mainstream adoption as it allows a web developer to integrate a payment gateway which allows for direct transfer of cryptocurrency from the customer to the developer's wallet.
We have many ongoing developments on our OPEN Chain. First, we are finishing the testing of voting and delegating in the OPEN Wallet. Users will be able to generate a wallet, seed phrase, and even restore the wallet if needed. This intuitive UI would allow any token holder to vote for their delegates of choice in a simple manner and send/view transactions, right from their wallet. Additionally, we are working on improving the overall network by removing bugs and optimizing for our soon to be announced Testnet launch.
Additionally, we are working on initiation and configuration in regards to transaction validation. Ongoing tests for our chain include wallet address validation and delegate initiation when the chain is launched.


Your professional service needs will be met by an experienced expert, for the optimal outcome.
Accounting and Reporting needs will be handled professionally and timely – at a very reasonable cost.
Not in Wisconsin? No Problem! we serve All States. Call now and let's talk about how we can meet your needs today.


The answer, of course, was very hard, but the past two years of development and playtesting were an experience we wouldn't trade for anything. That, coupled with Leah's beautiful paintings and eye for art direction have led to a game system of which we're proud.
When they're not making games, drinking mead or painting, Dom and Leah are both educators (Special Education and Art, respectively) and Nick is a Critical Care Registered Nurse.
We take ourselves VERY seriously.

Rödbrun smygsångare (Locustella mandelli) är en asiatisk fågel i familjen gräsfåglar inom ordningen tättingar.

Utseende och läte
Rödbrun smygsångare är en medelstor (13-14 cm) kastanjebrun smygsångare. Den varierar i färgstyrka, men verkar oftast mycket mörk, framför allt på vingar och bakre delen av kroppen. Till skillnad från liknande arten brun smygsångare (L. luteoventris) har den bleka spetsar på undre stjärttäckarna och mörk näbb. Bröstet kan vara något fläckat. Sången är ett elektrist upprepat "zree-ut zree-ut zree ut...".

Utbredning och systematik
Rödbrun smygsångare delas in i två underarter:
 Locustella mandelli mandelli – förekommer i nordöstra Indien, Bhutan, norra och västra Myanmar, södra, centrala Kina, norra Thailand, norra Laos och norra Vietnam
 Locustella mandelli melanorhyncha – häckar i östra Kina och övervintrar i sydöstra Kina

Tidigare behandlades dalatsmygsångaren (Locustella idonea) som underart till rödbrun smygsångare och vissa gör det fortfarande. Fåglar i centrala Kina behandlades tidigare som rödbrun smysångare har beskrivits som en ny art, sichuansmygsångare (L. chengi).

Släktestillhörighet
Arten placerades tidigare i släktet Bradypterus men DNA-studier visar att de asiatiska medlemmarna av släktet står nära arterna i Locustella och förs därför numera dit.

Familjetillhörighet
Gräsfåglarna behandlades tidigare som en del av den stora familjen sångare (Sylviidae). Genetiska studier har dock visat att sångarna inte är varandras närmaste släktingar. Istället är de en del av en klad som även omfattar timalior, lärkor, bulbyler, stjärtmesar och svalor. Idag delas därför Sylviidae upp i ett flertal familjer, däribland Locustellidae.

Levnadssätt
Arten påträffas i buskage, bambusnår, högt gräs, björnbärssnår och liknande. Som dess närmaste släktingar håller den sig mycket dold i vegetation när den födosöker efter insekter. Man vet inte så mycket om dess häckningsbiologi annat än i Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, nordöstra Indien där man observerat tre kullar med fyra ägg var i slutet av maj. Arten är stannfågel, men rör sig till lägre regioner vintertid.

Status och hot
Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde och en stor population med stabil utveckling och tros inte vara utsatt för något substantiellt hot. Utifrån dessa kriterier kategoriserar internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN arten som livskraftig (LC), som dock även inkluderar idonea i bedömningen. Världspopulationen har inte uppskattats men den beskrivs rätt tallrik i nordöstra Indien, vanlig i delar av Kina och lokalt vanlig i Sydostasien.

Namn
Fågelns vetenskapliga artnamn mandelli hedrar Louis H. Mandelli (1833-1880), italiensk teplantageägare i Darjeeling men också ornitolog och samlare av specimen.

Lesson 1 Objectives:
What is jazz?
What is jazz improvisation?
What are the origins of this art form?
What individual players and ensembles stand out as major contributors to jazz from 1917 to the early 1930's?
Students learn about the precursors and earliest contributors to the art of jazz.
Students begin: to understand the African-American experience, with its social, economic, and political challenges; to make connections between the musical past and the musical present; to develop a stronger knowledge and understanding of the basic elements of music as related to jazz.
Do the required reading and listening. Students should read all liner note and text-book descriptions that accompany the Gridley CD's.
Of special interest in our Music Beyond The Textbook CD-1 are the two different versions of Maple Leaf Rag. One is pure ragtime featuring Scott Joplin, and the other is "stomp" style played by Jelly Roll Morton. Listen to the "call and response" used between Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong on St. Louis Blues. Students will listen for the contrapuntal "collective improvisation" as played by King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band on Dippermouth Blues, by Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers on Black Bottom Stomp, and by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five on Potato Head Blues. The amazing individual trumpet/cornet improvisations by Louis Armstrong on any of the Hot Five or Hot Seven recordings, as well as his vocal improvisations (scat singing) on Hotter Than That and West End Blues are not to be missed.
In the Our Textbook CD-1 Listening Links for CD-1, students need to check out James P. Johnson laying down that stride style piano (in the left hand-a low note followed by a chord, repeated over and over) on You've Got To Be Modernistic.

8. Why are the drums not present in many of the oldest recordings of Jazz music? What did the drummer play instead?
9. New Orleans, LA is the birthplace of Jazz Music. Yet, no Jazz was ever recorded there until decades after the art form began–why is this so and where did these early Jazz musicians from New Orleans travel to get recorded?
10. The broad racial mix of people of New Orleans, LA at the turn of the 20th century (European-American, African-American, and Creoles) contributed greatly to the emergence of Jazz. With diversity at its core, why did the first Jazz recording ever made and released in the United States as a "Jazz Record" feature The Original Dixieland Jazz Band–a group of all white musicians?

1967 … What a year! The Six-Day War … What a war! Like me, some of you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news of Israel's stunning victory. Some of you were not yet born, but you read about it in the history books. I recall thinking: How can any nation win a war in just six days? That's unheard of … simply not possible. On top of that we're talking about the tiny nation of Israel, surrounded and vastly outnumbered by Arab nations on all sides. Well, we believe it because it happened. It's true, and Israel will never be the same again. Why not? What is the dramatic difference in Israel after the June, 1967 Six-Day War?
Before we find answers to that question, just a little more suspense! I'm talking once more about the incredible prophecy in Leviticus that was revealed and explained in last week's article; whereby the mathematical calculation of seven times seven (to the 4th power) beginning in 516 BC leads to the year 1967. Just in case you think this is a happen-chance coincidence, we're going to further validate and authenticate the accuracy of this amazing prophecy. We're going to connect more dots and see another astonishing correlation between the seven times over prophecy and historical events.
A brief review. By accepting the premise that the seven times over prophetic template (7 x 7 x 7 x 7) represented God's encoded measurement of uninterrupted time/years, plus 49 Jubilee years, we reached the calendar year 1967. So, what would happen if we used only the first three sevens? Where would we find Israel, if we reduced the formula to 7 x 7 x 7?
A little hint: We should expect to find another significant incident in Israel's antiquity that would corresponded historically to seven times over to the 3rd power. Meaning 7 x 7 equals 49. Then 49 x 7 equals 343 Roman calendar years (7 x 7 x 7). Moreover, this event should reflect the nature and extent of God's discipline of Israel as described in Leviticus Chapter 26 … specifically the third phase or installment of seven times over.
Calculations: 343 Roman years x 365 days (in a year) =s 125,195 days.
125,195 (days) divided by 360 (Jewish days in a year) =s 347.76 Jewish years or 347 years, 9 months, or rounded off to 348 years.
Using the same beginning date of 516 BC—technically we could also use 515 BC, as the Jewish new year begins in Sept/Oct of our Roman calendar—we do the following math: 516 BC minus (we must subtract because we're in BC history) 348 years leads us to the year 168 BC … or 167 BC, depending on the starting point of 516 BC or 515 BC.
So what happened in 168-167 BC? Only the most horrible thing that Israel had experienced since the 70-year Babylonian captivity: The infamous campaign of Antiochus Epiphanes IV against Egypt, then against Israel in which this evil prototype of Antichrist defiled the rebuilt Jewish Temple, killed some 40,000 Jews, and enslaved another 40,000. It was the darkest day of Israel's post Babylonian history that matches the chronological time-lapse of phase three (7 x 7 x 7); to then be exceeded in horror by the fourth and final phase (the last 7 times over) that would last for over two thousand years, but finally end in 1967. In the fourth and final phase, Israel's distress increased exponentially, beginning with the Roman conquest of Jerusalem, destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD, followed by massive dispersion of Jews to virtually every nation on earth. And, finally, the greatest of all Jewish tragedies … the Holocaust at the hands of Hitler's Third Reich.
Let's examine just a portion of the third phase of God's punishment as found in Leviticus 26: "…I will personally strike you with calamity seven times over for your sins. I will send armies against you to carry out the curse of the covenant you have broken … you will be handed over to your enemies … I will destroy your food supply…." (Verses 24-26).
After 516 BC no armies had attacked Israel, until Antiochus IV's assault on Jerusalem in 168-167 BC. So that part of the third phase of the Leviticus seven times over prophecy fits perfectly. But also notice that this third segment of the prophecy did NOT include exile to all nations of the world. That comes only with the fourth and final stage. However, the third installment does predict that armies will attack Israel and they will be handed over (temporarily) to their enemies. That's precisely what happened when Antiochus attacked Jerusalem (only to be defeated several years later by the Maccabees). Furthermore, it occurred exactly at the end of the time period specified by the seven times over paradigm, as explained above … 347-348 Jewish years.
Think about it. That is absolutely extraordinary! Not only does the full scope of the prophecy (seven to the 4th power) take us to the end of the seven times over curse (1967), but we see the startling accuracy of the prophecy even at the end of the third phase, in which the described punishment matches the horrendous cruelty of Antiochus against the Jews.
*Note: You might ask, "What about the Jubilee years? Shouldn't they be factored in as they were for the full extent of the seven times over period of time? No, they should be added only at the very end of all four sets of seven, not at the end of the third phase. Because we must track the passage of time continuously in terms of consecutive years, then add the number of Jubilee years to the total. However, if you think Jubilee years should be added as they occur (every 50 years), then the third phase of seven times would take us to the years 161-160 BC (7 Jubilee years). Which is the time frame when the Maccabees defeated the armies of Antiochus IV, temporarily regained their freedom, and restored the Temple, i.e. the modern-day celebration of Hanukkah. Either way, the prophecy works. Right? Of course, right!
All Biblical prophecies have or will come to pass. Some prophecies are as clear as day for all to understand. Others are what I call twilight prophecies, in which a student of Scripture needs to squint and focus intently on what's being said. Then there are the midnight prophecies that require a good deal of Biblical/historical comparison and juxtaposition, and illumination to fully grasp their meaning. The Leviticus 26 prophecy falls into the latter category, as does the Daniel 9 prophecy disclosed to/by Sir Robert Anderson.
I vividly recall the Six-Day War … where I was and what I was doing when the news flashed around the world. Since then, I and many students of Biblical prophecy and current events have better understood the tremendous significance of Israel's victory. But no one appreciates the impact of those six days in June and the aftermath more than the Jews, both religious and secular.
The Six-Day War took place 50 years–a Jubilee period of time–after the first milestone in Israel's modern-day rebirth as a nation. I'm referring to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which Lord Balfour of Great Britain paved the way for a Jewish national homeland in Palestine by validation of the Zionist movement initiated by Jewish leaders Theodor Herzl and Chaim Weizmann. These founding fathers of modern-day Israel believed that the only solution to the "Jewish Question" was a return of the Jews to Palestine. In 1922, the League of Nations approved the Balfour Declaration via a "Mandate for Palestine." This was the beginning of Jews returning in increasing numbers to the Holy Land and resettling the land originally given to them by God, himself. No other nation or land on the earth has a title-deed signed, sealed, and delivered by God, as does the Promised Land known as Israel.
Sadly, return of the Jews and Israel's statehood came too late to avoid the greatest disaster in Jewish history: the Holocaust during World War II … which constituted the full and final expression of the seven times over discipline.
However, were it not for the horror of the Holocaust, there would have been no United Nations approval of a Jewish Homeland (November, 1947); then the subsequent establishment of the State of Israel in May, 1948. Immediately five Arab countries attacked the fledgling state of Israel with the express purpose of erasing Israel from existence before she could even show up on global maps of the earth. In those early days of statehood, Israel had no formally trained or sophisticated military; thus their War of Independence was essentially a guerilla or paramilitary type of defensive war—fought and won (against staggering odds) as a matter of sheer survival.
On paper, there's absolutely no way that Israel should have defeated her enemies in 1948. But then the God of Israel is not a paper god nor a god invented by man. He is the true and living God. With him any victory is possible; without him all the military might in the world is useless. Just ask the inhabitants of Jericho, whose walls were virtually impenetrable! That is, until Joshua and the Israelites marched around the city, blew the ram's horn, shouted at the top of their lungs, and watched as the walls crumbled to the earth.
Our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is an awesome God! All other gods are imposters. No, they are not imposters … they are non-existent! They are figments of vain imaginations. They cannot make their predictions come true like the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible can. In fact, they dare not make predictions. Our God IS God! Our Messiah IS Messiah! We await his soon return … come quickly Lord Jesus!
The Ultimate Significance of 1967
Not until the Six-Day War, did Israel really possess and then demonstrate the capacity to take the offensive against Arab armies. Meaning, that their military (IDF) was strong enough to recapture Jerusalem from the Jordanians, to take back the Western Wall and Temple Mount. They were skilled enough to literally take the high ground of the Golan Heights from Syria, and equipped enough to retake Gaza and Sinai from Egypt. From international pressure including the United States, Israel gave back much of this territory including the Temple Mount (the most holy Jewish site in the most Holy City of Jerusalem); but they still exercise ultimate authority over these strategic areas of the Holy Land.
The Jews for the very first time since the days of their Babylonian captivity, were free of Gentile domination!
This unquestioned ability to defend herself and, if necessary, to take the offensive, was reconfirmed in the brutal, yet victorious Yom Kippur War of 1973. Since then, no Arab nation or coalition has dared use their armies or conventional warfare to attack Israel. Instead, they have resorted to terrorist attacks, mortar/missile launchings against civilians, propaganda, and BDS strategies.
What does all this mean? I believe the evidence is indisputable, not the least of which is the seven times over prophecy ending in the year 1967. Now that this mysterious prophecy has run its full course, Israel and the Jewish people are no longer under the thumb of Gentile nations. The Times of the Gentiles ended in 1967! This is an astonishing sign of the end times; that is the physical rebirth and restoration of Israel, substantial return of millions of Jews to the land of their ancestors, and the miracle of such a small country and small population being one of the top five military powers of the modern world.
For the first time in nearly 2,500 years, Israel has the military resources to fight its own battles and even conduct preemptive strikes to silence the ominous threats of extinction by her enemies, such as a nuclear Iran. She is a beacon of democracy in a Middle-East full of totalitarian Muslim regimes that fight among themselves and have only one thing in common: the malicious desire to wipe Israel from the face of the earth. She is powerful enough to be a deterrent to terrorist groups and quite capable of making rogue rulers think twice about use of WMDs. Before 1967, this kind of prestige, power, presence, and position was not available to Israel. When God ended Israel's discipline in 1967 (7 x 7 x 7 x 7), he also ended the Gentile nation's conquest, oppression, suppression, dominance, and defeat of Israel.
However, please don't misunderstand: Israel is still destined for a time of great distress called the Time of Jacob's trouble in Scripture. The intensity of this will peak during the last 3 ½ years of the Great Tribulation. But with one huge distinction … one monumental difference: this time Israel can and will inflict great hurt on her attackers. And even more importantly: At the midnight hour when all seems hopeless, when Israel's survival is very much in doubt, her Messiah (our Messiah) will return to fight with the Jews, to lead the Israelis in battle.
Forty years before the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, Israel's Messiah was led as a lamb to the slaughter, in order to die and atone for the sins of Israel (the whole world). For 2,500 years the Jews have been led as sheep to slaughter because they disobeyed their God and then rejected their ultimate atonement from sin, their Redeemer. When the risen Christ returns, he will conquer Israel's enemies and bring final salvation to the Jews. This time, God's chosen people will listen. They will reach out to their Messiah. They will fight with him, not against.
Listen to the words of the prophet Zechariah: "They (the Jews) will be like mighty warriors in battle, trampling their enemies in the mud under their feet. Since the Lord is with them as they fight … I will strengthen Judah and save Israel; I will restore them because of my compassion. It will be as though I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God, who will hear their cries. The people of Israel will become like mighty warriors…." (Zechariah 10: 5-7).
When Israel's back is to the wall, Zechariah goes on to say: "On that day the Lord will defend the people of Jerusalem; the weakest among them will be as mighty as King David! … For on that day I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem" (Zechariah 12: 8-9).
Finally, after all these years, the curse of the Leviticus seven times over discipline has ended. Never again will the God of Israel withdraw his protection from the people he has loved and chosen to bring salvation through none other than the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus). Once again, the Jews live in the land promised to them by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This time, they are there to stay. This time the Lord will protect them as he did long ago.
"Then the Lord will go out to fight against those nations, as he has fought in times past. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem…." (Zechariah 14: 3-4).
And in those last days, the Lord tells his people, "…I will destroy all the weapons used in battle, and your king will bring peace to the nations … I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles" (Zechariah 9: 10 & 12).
The seven times over prophetic fulfillment is more evidence that the last days are upon us. It is far beyond mere coincidence that the seven times seven model applied to chronological time/years just happens to end in 1967. The fact that Israel is now a sovereign nation reborn from the fires of Nazi death camps and from the tragic floods of world-wide exile among the nations is proof-positive that Messiah is soon to return.
The first step was return of the Jews to Israel; followed by the rebirth of their nation in a single day (Isaiah 66); followed by the God-given empowerment to fight for and protect their people, whether through defensive or offensive military victories; ultimately peaking with superhuman strength to fight the nations that will be led by the Antichrist (Nero); and finally the majestic return of Christ to rescue Israel from annihilation and to bring final spiritual restoration to the apple of God's eye, the beautiful land of Israel, and the holy city of Jerusalem.
God's continuous discipline of Israel ended in 1967, a punishment that was administered by withdrawal of his sovereign protection of Israel from her enemies. "Never again," say the Jews. Never again will they be led as sheep to the slaughter (Antiochus IV, Titus, Hitler; crusades, inquisitions, pogroms) without the means to defend themselves against enemies who seek their utter destruction.
Like in the days of old, the Jews will also remember that their trust in the Lord is what wins battles, not just military might. Once again they will face insurmountable odds and stare defeat in the eyes; but this time they will call on the name of the Lord … they will call out to their Messiah. He will hear their call and he will fight for them, as he did when they first entered the Promised Land with Joshua, and as he led King David in victory after victory during Israel's glory days.
They will shout, "Baruch haba, beshem Adonai." Blessed is he (Jesus) who comes in the name of the Lord (God the father). And then, all Israel will be saved!
– Are you ready for the Rapture? According to Christ, himself, no one knows the day or hour. On the other hand, Jesus gave us many signs of the last days, as do many books of the Bible. Most of these Biblical end times indicators pertain directly to Israel, as addressed in this article and in many prior articles on the Eye of Prophecy blog site. Check out the Eye of Prophecy archives.
– As Israel goes, so goes the final days before Messiah's return. We will continue to match the breathtaking prophecies of Scripture to what is happening in today's world, especially in Israel and the Middle East.

Wolverhampton businesses reach £1 million in sales on eBay programme
Online marketplace eBay today announced that businesses on its Retail Revival programme, a partnership with the City of Wolverhampton to help small retailers online, have reached £1 million in sales in just three months.
The Wolverhampton retailers have reported an average sales increase of 41% in the three-month period – bucking many of the woes faced by retailers across the country in the face of reduced consumer confidence and increased economic uncertainty. The new figures cap off a huge year for eBay's scheme, which has seen 182 sellers take part globally, generating 76,000 sales.
The partnership between eBay and the City of Wolverhampton is running until September 2019 and sees experts from eBay provide exclusive support to small retailers who want to start up or expand their online presence, seeking to grow the local economy and demonstrate that online and high street retail can survive and thrive together.
Participants in the programme benefit from one-on-one support to create a personalised eBay shop, a comprehensive training program that covers eBay selling basics as well as digital skills such as Search Engine Optimisation and promotional support.
One business that has benefitted in Wolverhampton is Toolsave, which sells products for home and garden improvements. Founder Fred Evans, whose brother David is also enrolled on the programme, said:
"Since enrolling on the Retail Revival programme, there has been a noticeable buzz around Wolverhampton. I've known about eBay for years, and the Retail Revival programme came at exactly the right time for my business. We have a great team at eBay who give us all the support we need and with their help, we think it's realistic that we could double – or even triple – our turnover next year."
Rob Hattrell, Vice President of eBay in the UK, said:
"Last year was tough for retailers, but our partnership with entrepreneurs in Wolverhampton shows that British brands have a bright future. Small businesses have the creativity and entrepreneurial skill to create products needed and wanted all over the world – and eBay is helping them to sell in the way they want to online.
"I'm really proud to see the progress these businesses have made in reaching the £1 million milestone so quickly. Now is the time to empower them more – and over the course of 2019 we will work with Wolverhampton to do just that. I want the success of the West Midlands to act as a beacon to the retail sector up and down the country."
Speaking about the sales milestone, City of Wolverhampton Council Leader, Councillor Roger Lawrence, said:
"This is tremendous news for small retailers in the City of Wolverhampton.
"We very much value the presence of these small businesses and the creative local people behind them.
"These are the businesses that help give City of Wolverhampton its own identity and character and, in this challenging retail climate, they need all the support they can get.
"That is why I am delighted a global brand like eBay has recognised this talent and, through the Retail Revival programme, has helped these businesses with their digital marketing and sales skills, giving them a solid platform for sustainable growth.
"It goes to show, such skills are ever more important to business success and survival, complementing and boosting in-store, over the counter sales."

I'm from Cape Town, and attending the CMC for the first time has been an overwhelming delight. The shoulders we rub against here belong to top, global leaders in the children's media sectors. The knowledge shared in the workshops and sessions is current, relevant, stimulating. If you missed them, be sure to read the summary blog posts, and keep an eye out for the full session podcasts that should start appearing on the website over the coming days and weeks.
In between the formal sessions, during tea breaks, lunch dashes, and the various laid-back networking sessions arranged for newcomers, I eavesdropped to pick up the local buzz. Unsurprisingly, the buzz was Brexit (first biggie) and diversity – a theme that dominated the conference in general.
Another person eavesdropping like mad was George the Poet, although he of course was formally assigned to do this. George is a spoken word performer, writer and recording artist, who was invited to sum up his experience of the CMC in today's final session. Interspersed with philosophical musings about class, family, education and the prison system, he reminded the audience of our professional responsibility: To listen, understand and really tackle the issue of representation in popular media.
As a black boy moving into teenage-hood, George found little to relate to in the media surrounding him, a clear sign that content creators weren't interested in the experiences and stories of people from minority groups.
He referenced Changemaker Jess Thom, who realised that her disability was often more about others' perceptions, which created frustrating blocks to her professional development.
George was also impressed by the work of Rebecca Atkinson, from ToyLikeMe, who creates toys that reflect and present characters with disability in a positive light.
He rounded off with a reference to Lighting Sprite Media's Daniel Bays, who suggested that content creators can tap into a rich wealth of experiences from communities who have, until recently, been ignored or actively silenced.
George encouraged the audience to actively engage, to keep an open dialogue, with people different from themselves. His performance ended with a deserved standing ovation from the delegates. If you missed it, make sure you check out the podcast or the video when they are available.

Joe Biden Faces Supreme Court Review Of His Catch & Release Policy
President Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, the border chief, are encouraging the flow of migrants into America's jobs by disregarding the law that states that migrants must be held until their asylum cases have been decided.
The Supreme Court will however review the legality Biden's catch and release policy in the Biden V. Texas lawsuit on April 26. This review will be performed one month before Mayorkas and Biden lift Title 42's barrier on May 23, and allow unlimited asylum-seeking migrants to cross the border.
Federal law allows any immigrant to apply for asylum in the United States. The law also states: "Mandatory Detention: Any alien subjected to the procedures under the clause shall be detained until a final determination on credible fear of persecution, and, if such a finding is not made, until removal."
Rob Law, director of regulatory affairs at the Center for Immigration Studies, stated that "the [federal] statute clearly states that aliens who arrive at the border without documentation and/or a visa should be held throughout the entire immigration court proceedings."
The Congressional Research Service stated that "Non-U.S. citizens (aliens) who attempt to illegally enter the United States must be detained while awaiting their removal."
Mayorkas, however, refuses to hold the migrants despite the American damage. Mayorkas also reduces the use the Migration Protection Protocols program which effectively detains Mexican migrants until their cases are resolved.
Instead, he allows about 60,000 migrants to enter the United States each month under various legal claims. Additionally, an additional 40,000 migrants seeking work sneak across the border.
The catch-and-release policy allows migrants to quickly obtain the jobs they need to pay their debts to banks, cartels, coyotes, and other organizations. This policy feeds the cartels' network of labor and cash and allows illegal immigrants from Africa, South America and Asia to finance their illegal entry into the American labor and housing market. Investors, employers, as well as the coast states benefit from the illegal inflow to the national economy.
Mayorkas is just one of numerous officials who have ignored the detention-until-completion law, according to the CRS report: "For many years, immigration authorities had construed governing statutes and regulations to … [ensure] alien could seek bond and potentially be released from custody during the pendency of those proceedings."
President Donald Trump's Attorney general, Bill Barr, reversed the no-enforcement, hands-off policy. The CRS report noted:
In a legal directive entitled Matter of M-S, on April 16, 2019, Attorney General William Barr reversed the position and ruled that aliens who are apprehended at ports of entry and then placed in formal removal proceedings after a credible fear determination, remain ineligible to bond [and release].
Barr wrote:
The Supreme Court's Rodriguez decision, the implementing regulations and the statutory text all point to the same conclusion: all aliens who are transferred from expedited to complete proceedings after establishing credible fear are not eligible for bond. [release].
Even pro-migration advocates admit to the fact. For example, the American Immigration Council stated on March 17, 2022 that:
The United States has the broad authority to detain certain types of immigrants, migrants and other people seeking humanitarian protection, as they move through the immigration legal system.
Law states that the detention law is in force since 1996's reforms.
The George W. Bush/Republican "Any Willing Worker" [policy] was the first to ignore the mandatory detention provision. This policy allowed economic migrants to enter the country's interior, supposedly to show up for their court hearings. As word spread that this was how the United States treated migrants, more and greater numbers of [migrants] arrived and overloaded [the asylum] system.
Trump attempted to establish a hard reset via [Migrant Protect Protocols] MPP and various deterrence and enforcement actions, but then Biden arrives and basically destroys the entire [Immigration and Naturalization Act] INA's detention provisions.
In the Biden case v. Texas, the lower court judges directed Biden's deputy to detain or keep the migrants in Mexico until their asylum claims are resolved. Mayorkas has only sent a few hundred migrants to Mexico so far under the MPP. Mayorkas released nearly 73,480 migrants in February and sent only 93 back to Mexico as part of MPP.
Some GOP politicians are aware of the government-backed labor migration hidden within the overloaded asylum process.
"We are telling people, 'If you arrive at the border and you claim asylum,… you can come in," Sen. Bob Portman (R.PA) stated on March 30. He continued:
There is a 1.5 million-person backlog in dealing with asylum cases. This means that it could take up to six years for your case to be considered before you are allowed to enter the country. You're not only here, but you're also working, your children are attending school, and you have access to your health care.
But, many of these people don't show up to their [asylum] court cases. Some do, and some don't. The point is that this system attracts people to the border.
Federal immigration law was created to protect Americans' right to an equal playing field in the labor market from unscrupulous officials, employers, and politicians, such as President George. W. Bush's "Any Willing Worker" pitch.
Employers are prohibited from hiring foreigners under 8 U.S. Code SS1324a, which Congress passed in 1952.
(1) In general
It is against the law for any person or entity to do so
(A) To hire or recruit an alien for employment in the United States knowing that the alien is an undocumented alien (as described in subsection (h(3)).
Three decades of illegal and legal migration have brought about 45 million consumers, workers, and renters to the U.S. This influx of people has brought a huge profit to Wall Street, investors and CEOs.
According to the National Academies of Science's 2016 report on immigration, the mass inflow of illegal and legal immigrants has contributed to the transfer of approximately $500 billion per year in wages from American workers to investors.
According to migration advocates, white-collar visa programmes have contributed to lower salaries for American nurses and tech graduates, as well as to an increase in the stock value at Fortune 500 companies to $100 billion. According to Census Bureau data, these programs have helped many Fortune 500 companies' C-Suites by removing millions of American professionals from tech careers.
Migration programs have also moved wealth, wages, and investment from the interior to the coasts, such as West Virginia and Detroit.
Many Americans have fallen prey to the poverty caused by the mass inflow of illegal migrant workers. According to an Oxfam report, 22 March, more than 31.9 per cent of Americans, or 51.9 millions workers, make less than $15 an hour. Many are also stuck at the federal minimum wages, which is less that half of what they earn each hour.
The Washington Post's March 20 report on Dave Ramsey in Lincoln Park, Mich., outlined the extent of the damage.
Coastal business groups cheer the Title 42 repeal. The statement was made by FWD.us, a West Coast advocacy group funded by Zuckerberg.
A functional migration system that is more than asylum should be the goal. This means expanding legal immigration avenues…. Ending Title 42 will only be one small piece of building that functionalmigration system." The group said. Its wealthy founders have more stock market wealth, as the federal government extracts workers, consumers, renters, and other resources for the U.S. economy.
D.C. reporters, however, are not aware of the law or the economics. This is partly because they are often pressured by editors and forced to focus on the dramatic migrations of migrants.
Agency officials asked at least six reporters to ask questions during a Friday call with Department of Homeland Security personnel. None of the reporters asked questions about the legality of economic migrants being allowed to enter the American labor market. CNN's Jake Tapper interviewed Mayorkas April 1st and did not challenge the legality Mayorkas's open border policies.
Numerous polls have shown that the public likes immigration and wants to give preference to fellow Americans.
Echelon Insights conducted a poll of 1,050 voters on March 18-21. It found that 29 percent believed that America should not allow more immigrants in. This is because immigrants can lower wages, take away jobs, and drain taxpayers.
Only 21 percent agreed strongly that America should allow more immigrants in. This is because immigrants can help to address labor market shortages and start businesses. They also have the potential to revitalize cities and towns that are declining.
Law stated that the government's operations of the nation's immigration system are designed to deceive both the public and media about large-scale exclusion of workers and consumers from low countries.
It's always "Can it be done just enough to deceive public?"… Any removals made by the administration are simply driven by bad optics. For example, the Haitians gathered under the [Del Rio] bridge because they can't escape the bad publicity. Then they say "Oh, but we're still open borders. We're using limited resources to catch the worst actors."
He said that the government's cooperation is concealed behind theatrical enforcement laws for borders and a veil of legal complexity.
They are part of the business transaction that involves importing workers and people into the United States. This is a mutually-beneficial arrangement in which the cartels benefit from all the people who pay the money to transport them. The Biden administration welcomes them, processes them and places them where they need to be within the country . This is a 100% corrupt business arrangement between cartels, the Biden ministry.
Law said that the Supreme Court case exposes the harsh reality of migration behind border theater. He added, "This is an important moment about whether or not the nation has the ability determine who enters our country."

Noise of 9/11 attacks contrasted by quiet of Greenland
<MCCSUBHEAD></MCCSUBHEAD>
As the anniversary of this date of infamy approaches, many people in the West Side, in Polk County, and throughout the United States remember what they were doing and where they were on Sept. 11, 2001, just as many older people remember their similar circumstances at the time of Roosevelt's death in Warm Springs, of Pearl Harbor, or of Kennedy's assassination.
I remember, like others who recently had been in New York City, because one small chance of fate - a single day - spared us from witnessing the horror of the World Trade Center. Almost exactly 24 hours before the attack, my husband and I returned to the States following a transatlantic crossing from Southampton to New York. It had been a wonderful trip, and at least one place we visited, Greenland, remains even more vivid in my mind as I juxtapose its beauty and calm against the ugliness and hysteria of the New York twin towers scene.
On the 10th day of our trip, we awoke to bright sunshine and a fairly calm sea as our ship came into view of the southern Greenland coast. The scene was unlike anything I had seen before: It seemed like something out of H. G. Wells' "The Lost World," or Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth." Even though the morning sky was clear and sunny, mists and low-lying, white, fluffy clouds encircled the smooth mountains of gray and the barren rocks along the distant shoreline.
As we drew nearer to Prins Christian Sund, which we were to use as our waterway across the southern tip of Greenland, the ship decreased its speed to 4 or 5 knots, the pace it would maintain for most of the eight to nine hours it would take to pass through the dangerous maze of icebergs and boulders that made the channel almost non-navigable.
As we entered the Sound, we saw moss-like greenery decorating some of the rocks, but there were no trees or shrubs - only barren rock and ice. The ice was everywhere. It floated lazily in the water; it sat menacingly near the ship's channel. It sparkled brilliantly in every direction, and it moved slowly in heavy, tremendous glaciers among the rocks. Some of the glaciers were pure white; others had a mousse-like quality caused by the collection of gravel and small rock as the ice moved along the larger rocks down to the sound. Some were blue-white in their brilliance. At the spot where the Sound was only about one-half-mile wide, the ship skirted along one shore while a massive iceberg impeded movement along the other side. Melting ice gushed from the lower part of some of the glaciers and cascaded downward, causing a thunderous roar. It was, however, a noise that did not reach our ears. Nor did we hear other sounds. Even the hundreds of people on the ship, many of whom stood on deck, wrapped in huge black and red blankets provided by the ship as a defense against the icy winds, seemed to speak in hushed voices as we struggled to assimilate some of the mystery of this white, silent world.
On the other side of the island, we encountered not only icebergs but also many large, black, volcanic rocks through which the ship navigated as it made its way up the west coast to Qaqortoq. During the trip through the Sound, we had hoped to spot whales and seals, but only observed a few small birds that flew low along the water. As we made our circuitous way, only the startling white of the icebergs was seen, as the night began to settle over this beautiful, mute land.
The next morning, a few miles from where the vessel exited the Prins Christian Sund, the ship moved slowly and cautiously into a small harbor at Qaqortoq, home to approximately 3,000 of Greenland's 50,000 residents.
The little town sparkled like a jewel suspended between the rough, high, barren hills that enveloped the community and the clear, cold sea that halted its growth. Most of the buildings - houses, school, stores, apartments, a hotel, garages - were painted in bright hues of red, green, blue, yellow.
Perhaps one of the local intellectuals owned the hotel, for it was painted the same as Stephen Crane's "The Blue Hotel." Two churches, designated on a local guide map as the old church and the new church, were painted a bright red. The festive colors were continued and repeated in the boats of various sizes and shapes tied at the rough pier.
On shore, some of the jewel-like luster of the town was tarnished by clay dirt that served as sidewalks and substituted as lawns, by big, black sewer pipes that ran about the hard, rocky ground, by old, half dilapidated buildings, and by a total lack of any green shrub or tree. Big boulders, some having the appearance of modern sculpture, dotted the landscape and had, no doubt, determined the layout of the town. There had been little commercialization of the tourist trade, but one local entrepreneur operated an old van as a tour bus for hire. For $3, and in a period of 20 to 30 minutes, he drove over the few hard-topped trails, which began at the dock, went to the edge of town, and returned.
In the residential area, all the concrete homes were much the same size with the only difference being the bright and distinctive coloring. There was no dialogue on the tour as the driver spoke only the local dialect of the Inuit Indians.
As Greenland is an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark, the official language is Danish and the currency in use at that time was Danish. The center of-town was defined by a shallow, wide, swift-flowing, boulder-lined stream with access to either side made possible by one, rough, wooden bridge. One side of the town was comprised of a small museum, two tiny but busy souvenir shops, a grocery store and post office combination, and a community center where local Indian children presented impromptu dances for tourists. In addition to food, the grocery store sold clothing, gifts, and craft and party items. The other side of town boasted the two small wooden churches, one hardware store, the ubiquitous police station and fishing sheds.
In the hardware store, the merchandise ranged from the finest Danish crystal to fishhooks large enough to have snagged Moby Dick. At the open-air fish shops, a fresh catch of salmon lay on a wooden table; on another table were the recently removed, pungent intestines of some very large fish, and in an immense basket, large crabs moved their pincers like mechanical toys.
One attraction of the museum was a one-room, traditional, sod house, looking like an igloo made from heavy blocks of earthen squares. Entry was through a door and extended foyer approximately four feet high. Of special interest was an attic where Charles Lindberg had stayed on one occasion.
Back on the ship, we watched the murky bay where a black bird sat on a white piece of ice that drifted slowly toward the sea; a whale's back appearing and reappearing above the water; and three local fishing boats jockeying for an afternoon haul. At midafternoon, the ship weighed anchor, and soon the coast of Greenland receded into the mist that had contributed to its quiet beauty.
Three days later, our ship entered New York harbor and began its journey up the Hudson River to its berth. As we passed by the Trade Center towers, early-morning fog obscured the lower part of the buildings, so that the top third seemed to rise out of the mists. Little did we know that 24 hours later that view would be gone forever.

About Delbert
New Ad Features Coast Sheriffs, Touts Hosemann's Dedication to Miss. Gulf Coast
Pascagoula, Miss.—Two Mississippi Gulf Coast sheriffs take leading roles in Delbert Hosemann's latest ad for Lieutenant Governor.
The spot is a spin on Hosemann's iconic commercial from his 2007 run for Secretary of State, which played on his unique name to inform viewers of his record and goals if elected.
"We're here to talk to you about our friend 'Gilbert' Hosemann for Lieutenant Governor," Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell says.
Harrison County Sheriff Troy Peterson corrects Ezell: "It's Delbert, Sheriff."
The two go on to talk about Hosemann's commitment to the Coast and to law enforcement.
During his three terms as Secretary of State, Hosemann has turned back more than $100 million for projects on the Gulf Coast through Tidelands leases, and acquired and conserved thousands of acres of land for future generations.
As State Land Commissioner, Hosemann continues to fight for answers about the operation of the Bonnet Carré Spillway, which recently caused a spike in the death of marine life in the Mississippi Sound.
"'Gilbert' cares about the Coast as much as we do," Ezell concludes.
The General Election is November 5, 2019. For more information about Hosemann's campaign for Lieutenant Governor, visit www.delberthosemann.com.

Q: Warning Error when encoding row-level formula: Formula result is data type (Boolean), incompatible with expected data type (Number) I am trying to create a formula to output either true/false or 1/0 if field Salesloft_Cadence contains the text "EMEA" I get the following error message. Suggestions?
CONTAINS(Activity.SalesLoft1__SalesLoft_Cadence_Name__c,"EMEA")
Error code: Warning
Error when encoding row-level formula: Formula result is data type (Boolean), incompatible with expected data type (Number).

A: For row-level formulas in reports you can indeed only have Number, Date, DateTime or Text as an output. In this case you have selected Number.
The outcome of your formula, however, is a Boolean, i.e. the fact whether or not the field contains the value 'EMEA':
CONTAINS(Activity.SalesLoft1__SalesLoft_Cadence_Name__c,"EMEA")

You could convert that to a number (e.g. 0 or 1) quite simply by surrounding your formula with an IF statement, that outputs 1 if true and 0 if false.:
IF(CONTAINS(Activity.SalesLoft1__SalesLoft_Cadence_Name__c,"EMEA"),1,0)
