HIAS Statement on the Dream Act and Promise Act
SILVER SPRING, Md. – Last night, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee approved the Dream Act of 2019 and American Promise Act of 2019.
If passed, this legislation would provide a pathway to citizenship for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) recipients living in the United States. This would provide protection from deportation for more than two million people who have long called the United States home.
In response to the Committee's vote, HIAS Senior Vice President of Public Affairs, Melanie Nezer, said, "It is well beyond time that Dreamers, TPS, and DED beneficiaries are given the opportunity to become U.S. citizens. The Dream Act and American Promise Act would allow these individuals, Americans in every way except for their paperwork, to live their lives without a constant veil of uncertainty and fear hanging over them."
Nezer added, "While we are pleased that these bills will make it to the House floor for a vote, we recognize that there is still more work to be done. HIAS urges the House to swiftly pass the Dream Act and American Promise Act, without the inclusion of harmful amendments. In doing so, it will recognize the countless ways that Dreamers and other immigrants contribute to our country, and will demonstrate support for our fellow community members who have been living in limbo for far too long."

I had better success with Superman-Banana today. Actually, everything just works better when you're not in a hotel room. Since I was home, I had access to the optimal band weight and to the dumbells. This made a huge difference and made the workout more challanging than when I was randomly flailing around on my hotel room floor earlier this week.
Now, I'm gonna go upstairs and try that recovery drink stuff.

Toggle navigation Robert J. Rooney, D.D.S.
Though dental implants are a great option for restoring multiple missing teeth, it's also a perfect solution if you're missing only one tooth. In that case, the dentist can implant a device in the jawbone surrounding the missing tooth which serves as a replacement for a tooth root and an individual crown. This unique solution is referred to as a single-tooth implant crown.
Once in place, the implant crown looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth. It's cleaned and flossed just like your other teeth, and unlike bridges or other restorations, you don't need special tools to clean around your new tooth. You will need to practice effective oral hygiene, however, and the friendly staff at Robert J. Rooney, D.D.S. will be happy to talk to you about caring for your mouth.
For more information about dental implants as a replacement for a single tooth—or to make an appointment with Dr. Rooney—call Robert J. Rooney, D.D.S. today at (855) 402-0647.

Jim Ross opens up on Ronda Rousey
In view of this Sunday's Royal Rumble, there are several rumors that see Ronda Rousey participate in the WWE-branded ppv. In fact, the former UFC champion met a federation executive in California last week and this would have suggested an agreement found with the company.
During the last episode of the Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross then talked about the Royal Rumble and rumors of Ronda Rousey's return.
Jim Ross talks about Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey was last seen on WWE programming in the main event of WrestleMania 35 with Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.
Either woman could be a prime candidate for Rousey's opponent at this year's WrestleMania if they choose to revisit that route. AEW commentator Jim Ross revealed a name he thinks could win the women's Royal Rumble: "I see Trish Stratus has really worked hard.
She looks really fit, so it might be plausible and realistic for her to get late participation and possibly win the match. Trish doesn't need to prove anything. But for the sake of the story, it would certainly be surprising and interesting to get them to win the match.
Charlotte and Becky are the two best stars in the federation and I don't think she will win either of them. Both don't need it." On comparing her to Brock Lesnar: "Ronda Rousey personifies Brock Lesnar as a woman. She is the baddest on the planet.
I love her and her husband, they are really good people. I know she will be fit, she wouldn't show up in public if she wasn't fit to fight. She is a proud athlete, she won't show herself as if she just had a baby. Federations sometimes don't announce everything.
They don't advertise their full card and everything that happens. I understand the element of surprise and how important it is in professional wrestling. It has always been this way and it will always remain this way, people like surprises but WWE could lose a large part of the audience without advertising Ronda.
In other words, I have no problem with Ronda being a surprise, but I wonder how much marketing value it is losing by doing all of this. This is just my thought, I may well be wrong, but she is one of the biggest stars, there is no greater in female wrestling than Ronda Rousey, so WWE could do well to advertise her presence.
You are a big star. She is undoubtedly the Brock Lesnar made a woman." While it's far from confirmed that we'll see the return of The Baddest Woman on the Planet this Saturday night at the WWE Royal Rumble, it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility as the company would love to add Rousey's star power to their roster on the road to WrestleMania.

Iron Dome got a significant boost soon after President Obama came to office in 2009. Mr. Obama visited Sderot as a presidential candidate and told his aides to find a way to help boost Israel's defenses from the makeshift rockets, his aides said, although defense officials at the time still doubted Iron Dome was the way.
As president, Mr. Obama tapped Colin Kahl to run the Pentagon office overseeing U.S. military policy in the Middle East. Mr. Kahl found the Iron Dome request on his desk, decided to take another look and had what he later described as a light-bulb moment. "Ding, ding, ding. It just made sense," Mr. Kahl said.
At the direction of a White House working group headed by then-National Security Council senior director Dan Shapiro (who today is the U.S. ambassador to Israel), the Pentagon sent a team of missile-defense experts to Israel in September 2009 to re-evaluate Iron Dome. The decision raised eyebrows in some Pentagon circles. Iron Dome was still seen as a rival to the Phalanx system, and previous assessment teams had deemed Iron Dome inferior.
In its final report, presented to the White House in October, the team declared Iron Dome a success, and in many respects, superior to Phalanx. Tests showed it was hitting 80% of the targets, up from the low teens in the earlier U.S. assessment. "They came in and basically said, 'This looks much more promising…than our system,' " said Dennis Ross, who at the time was one of Mr. Obama's top Middle East advisers.
Now, of course this could not possibly have happened, because we all know that Obama is an anti-Semite. More recently, the Administration made the (terribly wrong) decision to oppose Palestine's move for state observer status at the United Nations. But of course that did not happen either, because Obama hates Israel.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
According to Josh Marshall ("Troubling, Par for the Course"), The Israelis don't seem all that grateful.
That says a great deal about Netanyahu and Lieberman, but nothing about Obama.
Well, it does seem that Netanyahu has learned that there is only one world leader who can reliably get away with making a monkey out of the President of the United States, and he is that leader. He did it with this president and with his two predecessors, always with the settlements. Like a Fox News neocon pundit who never has to worry about any consequences of being wrong, he never has to worry about real consequences of slapping any US administration in the face; he knows that forces he can call on in the US will always have his back and can jam the White House switchboard with irate calls at a moment's notice. This says nothing about Obama personally that is not equally applicable to other occupants of the Oval Office.
Bibi's fee-fees are hurt because that antisemite in the White House doesn't want him to bomb hell out of Iran.
Does this make Israel more secure?
In the sense that day to day, like the Wall, it clearly does.
But in the long run, it allows Israeli intransigence about things like the West Bank Settlements to become more entrenched. Thus making a Two State Solution impossible, and therefore driving towards a One State Solution.
Which puts Israel in an impossible position. A One State Solution could not be Zionist– Jews would no longer be the majority. The alternative is to somehow drive the Palestinians out, which would turn Israel into a sort of Bosnian Serb Republic. That ethnic cleansing would set the stage for the next 100 years of warfare in the Middle East.
Can the Israelis, with their Wall, their Iron Dome and their natural gas deposits, really rely on military superiority against all comers for the next 100+ years? Hasn't Israel then just become another Crusader state of Outremer, waiting for its Saladin?
This is one of the best nutshells in which I have ever seen the situation described. People who actually care about Israel take note.

Mexico Serves as Way Station on Trip to U.S.
May 23, 2006 • For illegal Central American immigrants, traveling through Mexico to reach the United States is dangerous. Some crooked Mexican police extort money from them, and some of the women are assaulted. We meet three women from Honduras and one man from Nicaragua who are moving through Mexico together by train.
May 15, 2006 • Mexican President Vicente Fox, called President Bush over the weekend to express concern about what he fears are plans to "militarize" the border. He reportedly was reassured that the military support would be administrative. However, interest is high in Mexico about Bush's scheduled speech to discuss his plan to send thousands of National Guard troops to the border.
May 12, 2006 • Mexico sends more immigrants to the United States than any other country; some estimates put the figure at 400,000 each year. But some Mexicans are working to stem the flow of migration from where it originates, trying to resuscitate towns abandoned by able-bodied workers.
May 9, 2006 • As Mexicans migrate to the United States, many are leaving their children behind in the care of extended families. That's causing problems in their home communities: children are doing poorly in school, dropping out and turning to criminal activity.
May 8, 2006 • After leaving for better-paying jobs in the United States, migrants from the Mexican town of Malinalco find themselves missing their families and communities back home.
May 1, 2006 • As organizers spur a nationwide boycott by immigrants in the United States, Mexico holds a boycott against U.S. companies and their products. But its success remains to be seen. May 1 is a national holiday in Mexico and some Mexicans are using the day off to shop.

Margaret Olley paints a room filled with her personality
Posted by QAGOMA ● 5 Jun 2019
Australian artist Margaret Olley (1923-2011) worked extensively within the tradition of still life and interior subjects during the second half of the twentieth century, and made them uniquely her own. She established her reputation both locally and nationally with her colourful and vibrant paintings.
Margaret Olley in the garden at Farndon, Brisbane c.1950s / Margaret Olley Archive, Art Gallery of New South Wales Archive
In 1942 Olley moved from Brisbane to Sydney and enrolled at the East Sydney Technical College (later the National Art School) where she graduated with first-class honours. Olley then spent her time travelling abroad and in 1953, she returned to Brisbane and lived at the family home, Farndon, at 15 Morry Street, Hill End (now West End), just a short walk to Orleigh Park and the Brisbane River. After time spent abroad engaging with a wider art world, Brisbane no longer seemed quite as stifling.

Olley had honed her drawing skills while travelling in Europe, but her return to the tropical light and vegetation of Brisbane rekindled her love of colour, with which she was enthralled as a child living in Tully and Murwillumbah.
The streets and gardens of the Brisbane of Olley's youth had changed little in her absence — the city was still the same large country town on the banks of the meandering Brisbane River. In Meg Stewart's biography Far From a Still Life: Margaret Olley (2005), Olley states:
I'd liked Brisbane ever since I was a child, so really I was quite happy to be back there. Farndon was just a street back from the river. From my bedroom I could see little bits of its greeny-coloured water. At night the river cruise would come past. It used to go about as far as Lone Pine and there was dancing on board. You'd hear faint chugging; the music would be slowly swelling as the boat came closer then fade away. Then just as we were about to fall asleep, the faint sound of music would drift off the water again as it came back down.1
The calm presence of Farndon, with its high-ceilings, generous rooms and lush subtropical garden, is captured in a series of Olley's first interiors created in 1970.
Interior IV
Margaret Olley, Australia 1923-2011 / Interior IV 1970 / Oil on composition board / 121.5 x 91.5cm / Gift of the Margaret Olley Art Trust through the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art Foundation 2002 / Collection: Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art / © Marget Olley Art Trust
The sitting room of Farndon was described by a close friend, Pamela Bell, as one of the most beautiful she had ever seen. It was comfortable and unpretentious, the chintzes were worn and mended, and the furniture came from family collections and Olley's years in the antique business. There Olley displayed New Guinea artefacts as well as her own paintings and those of her friends. It was a well-loved room.
The paintings depicted in the room are by the artist or selected from friends and are carefully placed in a prominent position; the New Guinea masks and ceramics were chosen by the artist on one of her three trips to New Guinea; a chair covered with old chintz has known the contours of the artist's body; and the chairs are upholstered in velvet with bright fabric-covered cushions. We talk of 'rooms with personality', but not all representations of interiors have such an intimate relationship with their occupier.
Farndon was destroyed by fire in 1980, precipitating Olley's move to Sydney. The fact that Olley had difficulty talking about the destruction of her home is a clear expression of her very substantial emotional investment in it, its objects and its memories. The legacy we have of Farndon is Interior IV.

Beauty guru Sam Ghusson and his wife Suzanne list NYC pad
Beauty brand guru Sam Ghusson and his wife, Suzanne, are giving another go at selling their Manhattan home.
As co-founder of Batallure Beauty, the award-winning product development and production atelier, Ghusson's career has included working with stars — including Iman to create her first fragrance.
Now the Ghussons are looking to part ways with their Upper East Side perch for $14.5 million, down from $15 million last year. That's far less than the $16.8 million they paid for it in 2012.
The five-bedroom, 4½-bathroom prewar condo is at 823 Park Ave. between 75th and 76th streets.
The Park Avenue pad has views for days.

Design details additionally include herringbone oak floors and 10-foot beamed ceilings. The 13-story building dates to 1920. It has 11 residences — plus a doorman, a concierge, a gym and bike storage.

Sen. Chang-Díaz Calls Out DA Comments on Criminal Justice Bill
By David Ertischek | October 7, 2017
Office of Sen. Sonia Chang-Díaz
Sen. Sonia Chang-Díaz, D-Jamaica Plain, represents the Second Suffolk seat.
State Sen. Sonia Chang-Díaz let it be known she doesn't agree with several district attorneys' comments regarding a state bill that would decrease the amount of people in the criminal justice system. She is strongly in favor of the bill while some DAs do not like that some mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenses would be removed.
Sen. Sonia Chang-Díaz, D-2nd Suffolk District.
"The knee-jerk reaction of some district attorneys to the (Massachusetts) Senate reform package smacks of entitlement. They want to talk about accountability? Over the last forty years, we gave huge power to DAs in sentencing – and with it they oversaw a system that grew into a costly, ineffective, and racist mess," said Chang-Díaz to Jamaica Plain News. "We lock up 300 percent more people than we used to in Massachusetts, with no decrease in drug addiction. Saying 'we're going tough on those drug dealers' feels good politically, but it does nothing to solve the actual problem. If there are other tools the DAs need to increase public safety, they should ask and make the case. But this is a failed tactic and we need to have the courage as a state to call the question on that."
Chang-Díaz specifically responded to comments in the Boston Globe made by some district attorneys.
Chang-Díaz didn't have a problem with Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley's comments on the bill saying, "I appreciate District Attorney Conley's more thoughtful and nuanced comments compared to his brother DA's statements. I'm glad to see him embracing the growing consensus that our state needs serious sentencing reform and a comprehensive approach to fixing our broken justice system. I hope he will continue to reflect on the evidence that shows mandatory minimums are ineffective and use his platform to drive more just policy, rather than looking forward to it."
Conley provided the following statement regarding the bill, according to Commonwealth Magazine:
"Massachusetts has among the lowest violent crime and incarceration rates in the country and both continue to fall. We are already doing a lot of things right, but we can always do better. One area where we need to improve is reducing recidivism and this bill does a good job addressing that. I also see some promising ideas to improve our bail statutes, remove barriers to successful re-entry, and eliminate fines and fees on low-income defendants. I do not support mandatory minimum sentences for low-level, non-violent drug offenders, so I have rarely enforced school zone charges. I'm open to both eliminating those and rethinking second and subsequent drug distribution charges when the quantities are minor. There are certainly some aspects of the bill I am concerned about, and others, such as the ideal felony threshold for larceny, that are really just a question of finding the right balance point."
"This bill is a sincere compromise, with solid reform elements and comprehensive breadth," said Chang-Díaz. "It doesn't go as far as other states on mandatory minimums or reinvestment, but it makes our justice system fairer and more effective by giving people who work hard for a second chance a realistic shot at rehabilitating, by recognizing addiction as a disease rather than a crime, and many other needed reforms. It won't finish the work of reforming our justice system, but it's a serious bill and we shouldn't accept anything less."

The Rise of Madison – An Early Sign?
We all know that usage of the baby name Madison rose sharply in the years after 1984, thanks to the movie Splash, which starred Daryl Hannah as mermaid Madison (named after Madison Avenue).
Interestingly, I've found an article in New York Magazine, published only about two and a half months after the movie was released, that seems to predict this rise.
"Do you suppose this is happening all over the country?" the Hollywood producer asked nervously.
…Just like a lot of expectant parents couldn't get the name Madison out of their minds in the years to come. The popularity of the name snowballed over the next couple of decades. It peaked at #2 in the nation in 2001 and 2002, behind #1 Emily both times.

Several months ago my pro-photographer buddy Adriel Heisey heard me venting frustrations about sorting large numbers of digital photos associated with various projects and travels. It was taking me hours and hours to sort and select photos, especially since Adobe's Bridge program kept crashing on me. Instead, Adriel recommended I try some pro photography software called PhotoMechanic by CameraBits.

A Christmas Carol [9781847496171]
Ebenezer Scrooge is a lonely, miserly old man who hates Christmas, which he dismisses as humbug . One Christmas Eve, however, he is visited by a series of ghosts who reveal to him the innocence he has lost, the wretchedness of his future and the poverty of the present, which he has so far ignored. This experience teaches Scrooge the true meaning of the holiday and leaves him a transformed man.With its memorable cast of characters such as Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol is the most heart-warming of seasonal tales, a timeless classic that continues to enchant readers around the world and a lesson in charity and hopefulness that is as powerful today as when it was first written in 1843.

Alabama, United States legal definition of Alabama, United States
https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Alabama%2c+United+States
(redirected from Alabama, United States)
ALABAMA. The name of one of the new states of the United States of America. This state was admitted into the Union by the resolution of congress, approved December 14th, 1819, 3 Sto. L. U. S. 1804, by which it is resolved that the state of Alabama shall be one, and is hereby declared to be one of the United States of America, and admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the original states, in all respects whatever. The convention which framed the constitution in this state, assembled at the town of Huntsville on Monday the fifth day of July, 1819, and continued in session by adjournment, until the second day of August, 1819, when the constitution was adopted.
2. The powers of the government are divided by the constitution into three distinct, departments; and each of them confided to a separate body of magistracy, to wit: those which are legislative, to one; those which are executive, to another; and those which are judicial, to a third. Art. 2,
3.-1. The legislative power of the state is vested in two distinct branches; the one styled the senate, the other the house of representatives, and both together, the general assembly of the state of Alabama. 1. The senate is never to be less than one-fourth nor more than one-third of the whole number of representatives. Senators are chosen by the qualified electors for the term of three years, at the same time, in the same manner, and at the same place, where they vote for members of the house of representatives; one-third of the whole number of senators are elected every year. Art. 3, s. 12. 2. The house of representatives is to consist of not less than forty-four, nor more than sixty members, until the number of white inhabitant's shall be one hundred thousand; and after that event, the whole number of representatives shall never be less than sixty, nor more than one hundred. Art. 3, B. 9. The members of the house of representatives are chosen by the qualified electors for the term of one year, from the commencement of the general election, and no longer.
4.-2. The supreme executive power is vested in a chief magistrate, styled the governor of the state of Alabama. He is elected by the qualified electors, at the time and places when they respectively vote for representatives; he holds his office for the term of two years from the time of his installation, and until a successor is duly qualified; and is not eligible more than four years in any term of six years. t. 4. He is invested, among other things, with the veto power. Ib. s. 16. In cases of vacancies, the president of the senate acts as governor. Art. 4, s. 18.
5.-3. The judicial power is vested in one supreme court, circuit courts to be held in each county in the state, and such inferior courts of law and, equity, to consist of not more than five members, as the general assembly may, from time to time direct, ordain, and establish. Art. 6, S. 1.

The fifth meeting of the NALAS Task Force on Fiscal Decentralisation was held on 5-7 June in Pomorie, Bulgaria, in the framework of the XI National meeting of the finance officers from Bulgarian municipalities "The Municipal Finance – Expectations, Real Situations and Problems". Municipal financial experts from 8 member associations participated at the event.
The Task Force members assisted to the plenary sessions of the annual gathering of the Bulgarian Municipal Finance Officers, and had a chance to hear more about the experiences of the Bulgarian colleagues. The main discussions were held on the topic of implementation of the municipal budgets during the 2007 and tendencies for 2008, as well as on the practical impacts of new tax powers of the municipalities during the 2008.
Ideas for possible project on municipal program budgeting, proposed by Kosovo association.
One session of the meeting was devoted to discussing cross cutting issues tackled by two or more NALAS Task Forces, and possibilities for cooperation between them were explored: cost estimation of municipal services and municipal databases are identified as the main cross-cutting topics for all Task Forces.
At the end of the meeting, the members were invited to share new challenges emerged in their countries, and public private partnership was added at the list of priorities to be addressed by the Task Force projects.

Q: Jersey is not ready yet After upgrading Jersey dependencies in OSGi I'm getting the obscure error

Jersey is not ready yet!

I don't see any Jersey-specific error in the logs.
I've failed to google the java class, that generates that obscure error.
Which code fragment is generating that error message, so that I can start inspecting what's wrong?
I'm basing on the https://github.com/hstaudacher/osgi-jax-rs-connector/blob/master/examples/karaf-integration/features/src/main/resources/features.xml
but it seems the project is abandoned.

A: The obscure error comes not from Jersey, but from the connector I'm using:
https://github.com/hstaudacher/osgi-jax-rs-connector/blob/master/bundles/com.eclipsesource.jaxrs.publisher/src/com/eclipsesource/jaxrs/publisher/internal/ServletContainerBridge.java
In the run() method, the errors other then ServletException are swallowed. So whatever is the reason for the 'Jersey not ready yet!', it need to be found under debugger in that class because it won't be logged.

To cap of what has, by just about any standards, been an epic month or so (final exams, move house, new job, and graduation so far), yesterday Wenni and I got married.
Thank you so much to everyone who came - journeys varied in length from 4 floors in the lift (Wenni and I) to hundreds of miles (Suffolk folks, Wenni's dad) to thousands of miles (Wenni's mum). As I said on the day, it would not have been anything at all without you all there and we appreciate it so much.
We chose the Malmaison hotel in Reading, and I have to admit they did an absolutely stellar job. The day was perfectly executed and every aspect was absolutely spot on. Just about every one of our guests commented on how well it had all turned out, and we're so grateful to everyone who was involved in putting it together with us.


Is it planned that Custom Field could be populated with custom taxonomy?
For example when I create a drop down box custom field, I have to fill in the option for the field.
Thank you for the great question which I admit I do not know the answer.
In an effort to get us some help to get a definitive answer is this related to any specific plugin? Perhaps Custom Press?
I don't know how to move the post!
Now that we have a confirmation on exactly what plugin we are dealing with I will go ahead and see if I can get our lead developer of the Custom Press plugin in here with his invaluable insight to see if he has advice/advise as to what the answer is to this question.
I don't understand what you are trying to acheive. If you create a custom taxonomy it automatically adds a meta box for that taxonomy to the post edit screen (assuming you have Show IU set). Why would you want two places to enter the same data. This would just be confusing and way too complicated to keep synced.
I want to do this because I would like to use drop down list, radio button or whatever instead of textedit. It held disabling users to enter more than one choice too.
And i'm storing the data in custom fields.
I woudn't use custom fields as they are a different storage method and wouldn't affect the functionality of taxonomies without a lot of coding.
I haven't heard back from you on this issue so I'm going to close it. If you have more questions just reopen it and we'll be glad to help.


Really enjoyable podcast! Jim and A. Ron have great fun with each other and clearly enjoy the topical discussion, and their listener feedback. I have recommended this podcast to anyone who will listen... mostly because NO ONE told ME about it. I had to find it all for myself. Ah well. No matter. It's a lot of fun and easy to listen to whether you're a fan of the books, show or both. Great job guys!
Nobody does it better. Bald move is honest, insightful and funny. I've started watching new movies and shows just so I can get more bald move. Thank you for the top shelf audible entertainment.
I love this show! I've listened to each episode AT LEAST twice and it's really helped deepen my appreciation for the show and the lore. I always make sure I have a few episodes loaded on my phone when I have to travel anywhere.

July 11, 2019/StevieRay Hansen/1 Comment
The one-world religion described in Revelation 17:1–18 as "the great harlot" will be part of the end-times scenario. The term harlot is used throughout the Old Testament as a metaphor for false religion. The actual identity and makeup of the religion have been debated for centuries and has resulted in a number of different views among Bible commentators and theologians. There are convincing arguments for the one world religion being Catholicism, Islam, the New Age movement, or some form of religion not even invented yet, and an internet search will produce many more possibilities and theories. There is no doubt that some sort of one-world religion under the false prophet will be a part of the end times, perhaps made up of a number of different religions, sects, and isms that are around today.
Revelation 17:1–18 gives us several characteristics of the one-world religion. The false religion will dominate all the "peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues" of the earth (Revelation 1b, 15), meaning that it will have universal authority, no doubt given by the Antichrist, who rules the world at that time. Verses 2–3 describe the harlot as committing adultery with the "kings of the earth," referring to the false religion's influence among the world's rulers and influential people. The reference to being drunk with the wine of her adulteries may refer to those who are drunk with the power they receive from worshiping the false god of the false religion. Satan frequently ensnares those whose lust for power drives them away from the worship of the true and living God. The alliances forged by the false religion will unite church and state as never before.
Pope and Imam Sign "One-World Religion" Covenant?
February 13, 2019 C.M.
A historic document signed recently by Pope Francis and leading Muslim Imam Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb – whose official title is The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar – has many observers very concerned. This historic meeting between the head of the Roman Catholic Church and the most important Imam in Sunni Islam took place in Abu Dhabi at a gathering of religious leaders representing Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and other faiths. On the surface the covenant entitled "A Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together" stipulates its intention is to foster peace between nations, religions, and ethnic groups while combating extremism and violence. Obviously, this is an admirable effort worthy of support. Yet, certain ambiguous language in the document regarding God leads many to be cautious of the implications that may arise. Particularly, the idea that such a document could form the groundwork for a one-world religion!
Ambiguous Language Identifying God
While the document contains many remarks aimed at fostering a spirit of commonality between religions such as encouraging believers "to shake hands, embrace one another, kiss one another and even pray" together, it is the ambiguous reference to God that causes the greatest concern. The document uses the same term; God, to simultaneously reference the God of the Bible and Allah. One glaring example of this categorizes Christians and Muslims as "We, who believe in God." Perhaps equally problematic is that the document claims that "the pluralism and the diversity of religions" evident in the world were all intentionally "willed by God." Moreover, the document claims that the idea that people should "adhere to a certain religion" should be rejected. Therefore, according to this document the perfect will of God allows for hundreds of different religions that must all be considered as equally valid. Such ideas have caused many to consider that the essence of this document is to push for a one-world religion. Sadly, this idea is not out of character for Pope Francis. In September 2015, during a stop at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Pope Francis stressed the unity between Christianity and Islam. Likewise, in January 2016 the Vatican released an extremely disturbing video in which Pope Francis declared that all of the major world religions are "seeking God or meeting God in different ways."
Relevant Scripture Passages
It should be noted that many prophecy experts have long believed that numerous parallels can be drawn between the one-world religion described in Revelation 17:1-18, and the influence and power of the Roman Catholic Church. The book of Revelation describes a "great harlot," or a false, one-world religion that will be prominent during the end times (Revelation 17:1-6). This one-world religion will be led by a "false prophet" (Revelation 13:11-15; 16:13; 19:10; 20:20). This false religion will dominate all people of the earth, all nations, and languages. While this inference is not certain, it certainly arouses our attention – especially in light of the history of the Catholic Church and Pope Francis' statements in the past. Therefore, given the implications of this recent covenant between Pope Francis and Imam Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb we should be in prayer.
PRAY: Pray that Christian leaders around the world would not be influenced by the ambiguous language used for God in this document. Pray that a clear distinction would remain between the God of the Bible and Allah. Pray that the Roman Catholic Church would not continue to make statements equating God with Allah.
Verse 6 describes the harlot as being "drunk with the blood of the saints" and the blood of those who testify of Jesus. Whether they will be martyred at the hand of the Antichrist or by being systematically starved, believers who are on the earth during the tribulation will experience the wrath of the harlot and her power source, the Antichrist. Those who oppose the worldwide religion will be killed, and those who refuse to worship the Antichrist by accepting his mark will be unable to buy and sell, thereby making survival very difficult (Revelation 13:16–17).
Eventually, the harlot will lose favor with the Antichrist, who will want to receive the world's worship for himself. He will not share the adoration of the world with the prophets and priests of the false religion, no matter how obsequious or fawning they may be. Once the Antichrist gains the world's amazed attention by his miraculous return from the dead (Revelation 13:3, 12, 14), he will turn on the false religious system and destroy it, establishing himself as God. The deception, Jesus tells us, will be so great that, if it were possible, even the elect would fall for it (Matthew 24:24).
The World Council of churches accepts the ordination of women, approves the ordination of practicing homosexuals, and tolerates an amazing variety of heretical beliefs. At a "Re-Imagining" Conference in Minneapolis in 1993, the deputy general secretary of the WCC, Mercy Oduyoye, taught that we all have "spirit mothers" who avenge us and that the spirits of the dead surround us "in the rustling of trees, in the groaning woods, in the crying grass, in the moaning rocks." The same conference also featured Kwok Pui-Lan, a WCC member who defined salvation as "bringing out what is within you" and quoted the Gnostic gospels. Pui-Lan justified her use of Gnostic texts by stating that, since it was men who decided the canon of the Bible, she was not obliged to accept it.
Historically, the World Council of Churches has been led by those who hold to liberal theology and who promote "progressive" social policies (such as abortion) and leftist political agendas.
Of course, not every member church of the WCC approves of the council's stance on every issue. And no doubt there are many genuine believers within the WCC. However, the WCC's willingness to tolerate departures from foundational doctrine is troubling. Yes, the Lord wants His church to be unified (John 17:22), but not at the expense of foundational doctrine. Truth wields the sword of division (Matthew 10:34).
Revelation 17 symbolically describes an end-times apostate religious system. The apostate members of the World Council of Churches will have no problem joining the false church of the end times, in the spirit of ecumenicalism and inclusion.
March 14, 2019Jews Call for Synagogue on Temple MountChristian Life, Israel
In response to a number of riots and other violent demonstrations taking place on the Temple Mount recently, many Jewish religious and political leaders are beginning to call for a synagogue to be placed on the Temple Mount. According to Breaking News Israel, many Israeli politicians are calling for the closure of a Muslim prayer area that was opened in the area of the Sha'ar HaRachamim (the Gate of Mercy, also known as the Golden Gate). The area was closed 16 years ago by court order after it was used as a meeting place for Hamas-related organizations. However, recently many Arabs began protesting and entered the site forcibly. In response, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently ordered the site closed but this has not yet been carried out. Many Jewish leaders are thus rightly upset that Muslims are still allowed access to the site but Jews are strictly forbidden.
Several Groups Support A New Synagogue
Several groups are in favor of establishing a Jewish Synagogue on the Temple Mount. Such an idea was first advocated by Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, in the mid-1990s. His son, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Safed's chief rabbi, continues to work toward that goal. Surprisingly, in 2016, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau, who is generally considered to be moderate in his politics as well as his religious rulings, stunned many when he said that there was enough room on the Temple Mount for the addition of both a synagogue and church without infringing on the Muslim sites currently in existence! Yaakov Hayman, chairman of the United Temple Movements, sees the current situation as an open confrontation. "Our holiest site is being trampled by people who have declared themselves as our enemies," Hayman told Breaking Israel News. "We can't blame them since they are acting precisely like enemies. This shows where we are spiritually and what we need to do. We need miracles for the Third Temple to arrive but God will only do miracles after he sees that we want it. Jews are finally waking up to the Temple Mount but we need to take it up a few notches." Thus, many see the best solution as a political mandate allowing Jews to once again worship on the Temple Mount and ordering the police to protect them.
The Bible clearly teaches that a Jewish Temple will be re-established in Jerusalem in connection with many significant end-times events (Ezekiel 40-48; Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). Before any of these events can occur, a Temple who have to be re-established. Therefore, many Bible teachers see the installation of a synagogue as a potential first step toward a Temple being rebuilt in the future. The basic difference in the two is that a synagogue concentrates on teaching Jewish people from the Scriptures whereas the Temple functioned as the only place for sacrifices to take place and – most importantly – where the presence of God dwelt among His people (1 Kings 8:11-12).

PRAY: PRAY FOR THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE ON-GOING TENSIONS AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT. PRAY THAT GOD WILL ALLOW THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO ONCE AGAIN WORSHIP ON THIS HOLY SITE.
The seven churches described in Revelation 2-3 are seven literal churches at the time that John the apostle was writing Revelation. Though they were literal churches in that time, there is also spiritual significance for churches and believers today. The first purpose of the letters was to communicate with the literal churches and meet their needs at that time. The second purpose is to reveal seven different types of individuals/churches throughout history and instruct them in God's truth.
A possible third purpose is to use the seven churches to foreshadow seven different periods in the history of the Church. The problem with this view is that each of the seven churches describes issues that could fit the Church in any time in its history. So, although there may be some truth to the seven churches representing seven eras, there is far too much speculation in this regard. Our focus should be on what message God is giving us through the seven churches. The seven churches are
(1) Ephesus (Revelation 2:1-7) – the church that had forsaken its first love (2:4).
(2) Smyrna (Revelation 2:8-11) – the church that would suffer persecution (2:10).
(3) Pergamum (Revelation 2:12-17) – the church that needed to repent (2:16).
(4) Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29) – the church that had a false prophetess (2:20).
(5) Sardis (Revelation 3:1-6) – the church that had fallen asleep (3:2).
(6) Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13) – the church that had endured patiently (3:10).
(7) Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22) – the church with the lukewarm faith (3:16).
It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.
Like Joseph and Daniel of the Old Testament who served secular kings, we are called to serve everyone and help them fulfill their divine destiny. Jesus made it clear that people who want to lead or be great must be the servants of all. Serving is the way of leadership in the kingdom.
Forcing our way onto the world is not great leadership. Some accuse us of doing this very thing because we speak up on moral issues. It is important that we speak up on issues, but it's also equally important that we love everyone no matter their persuasions.
Someday Jesus will rule the world; in the meantime, we should just serve well and let our good works speak of our Father who loves everyone.
MY MISSION IS NOT TO CONVINCE YOU, ONLY TO INFORM…
Evil men don't understand the importance of justice, but those who follow the Lord are much concerned about it. ~ Proverbs 28:5
Jesus come quick, there is nothing left in society that's sacred….

Jesus stated in Luke 16:8 that the children of the world (i.e., the unsaved) in His generation were WISER than the children of light (i.e., the saved). Nothing has changed in 2,000 years! While our nation's top leaders faithfully attend Satanic mock human sacrifices at Bohemian Grove annually, woefully ignorant pastors across America continue to promote those same sinister leaders as good people, Christians, and worthy of our unquestioning support. Nothing could be further from the truth. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are supposed to refute all works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11).

Can a Chin Implant Fix a Double Chin?
We all know the term "double chin"–that dreaded extra fat between the chin and the neck that looks unflattering in photos and in the mirror. While a double chin is fairly common, it is often not easy to resolve using weight loss. Why? Partly because a double chin is not just about the fat present, but about the structure of the chin itself. Another reason is that it is not possible to spot-target isolated areas such as underneath the chin. If you are bothered by this problem, you may want to seek surgical help. But what causes a double chin, and can a chin implant fix the issue?
Most people associate a double chin with just one cause: excessive fat in the area under the jaw. However, this is not always the sole cause of a double chin. In fact, most cases of double chin are caused by a combination of factors, not just one. Here are some of the reasons a double chin can form.
A so-called "weak" chin is a major contributing factor to a double chin. When the chin does not have much projection naturally, appearing somewhat recessed and small compared to the nose, it may be referred to as weak. A weak chin is most visible from the profile view, but the lack of projection can combine with other factors to create the dreaded double chin. A weak chin is one of the most common reasons people seek chin implants.
Though not always the main cause of a double chin, this is the factor most commonly cited when discussing the problem. Excessive fat in the chin area does play a role in the formation of a double chin, and correction of the problem usually involves some kind of fat removal.
As we age, skin begins to sag everywhere, including the chin area. This is due to loss of collagen in the skin, which makes it lose elasticity. As skin in the neck and chin begin to sag, it can create the double chin appearance and make the chin look less defined.
A chin implant is not the only surgery that can resolve a double chin, but it is one important technique that can be used in many cases. Chinaugmentation is a good option for creating more projection, definition, and balance to the face. This procedure can improve the appearance of a weak chin while tightening the skin in the area to reduce the appearance of a double chin. This is a surgical procedure that involves the insertion of a Silicone or Gore-Tex implant for permanent augmentation. Recovery typically takes about one week.
Facial liposuction may also be appropriate for localized fat deposits in the chin area. This treatment is best for patients with excellent skin elasticity. This technique is often used in combination with others to produce the best possible results.
A neck lift may be a good option for people with significant neck and jowl aging that causes a double chin because of sagging skin. A neck lift strengthens these structures and tightens the skin for a smooth contour under the chin and jaw.
The only way to know which treatment is appropriate for resolving your double chin is to speak with a qualified facial plastic surgeon. Candidates for cosmetic surgery should be in general good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the eventual results of plastic surgery.
As with any plastic surgery, it is important to discuss your goals with a few board certified plastic surgeons before you make any decisions. Every patient has different needs, and a qualified facial plastic surgeon has the knowledge to help you plan your treatment. If you're looking for a surgeon whose advice you can trust, come to Buckingham Center in Austin and meet with acclaimed facial plastic surgeon Dr. Edward Buckingham. Dr. Buckingham is focused on providing patients with custom, natural results paired with individual, compassionate care. Call 512-401-2500 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Buckingham today.

Rahm Emanuel completes bucket list biking Lake Michigan
Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is checking off his bucket list just weeks after leaving public office.
Biking around Lake Michigan, Emanuel rode more than 900 miles and through four states.
"Completing a long held dream, I just finished circling the entire Lake on a bicycle," Emanuel wrote on Facebook Tuesday.
From "awesome" sunsets on one side, to "breathtaking: sunrises on the other, Emanuel said he rode from the new Chicago bike trail to the old rail lines of Indiana.
"The true character of the Lake is reflected in the people around it. Everywhere I went, people were quick with a hello, easy with a smile, and generous with their help. It is a Great Lake surrounded by great people in a great country," he wrote.
Emanuel and his friend from their time in the Clinton White House completed the journey together.
Emanuel left his public office as Chicago's 55th mayor last month and has since signed a deal with ABC News to serve as an on-air contributor, sources say.

Research on active investment managers has identified persistency in both overperformance and underperformance.
This analytical approach can be used for help in the task of selecting managers.
We test performance of multi-asset managers over 25 years to identify helpful criteria for manager selection.
The debate surrounding an active manager's ability to produce positive alpha leaves people impassioned on both sides. Critics of active management argue that the majority of active managers have failed to consistently outperform a benchmark index (e.g., Ellis 19751; Bogle 19982). Other research has found that both superior and inferior fund performance has tended to persist over one-year investment horizons (Brown and Goetzmann 19953). A recent Putnam study4 analyzed 30 years' worth of performance of multi-asset funds and found that the average manager produced positive alpha of 1.09% (annualized) after controlling for several risk factors.
While studies have looked at several fund characteristics, our analysis focused on using past alpha as a predictor for future alpha. To better mimic the options an investor would have had historically, we only used the oldest surviving share class for each unique fund. Using the trailing five-year alpha from Putnam's recent study as the independent (predictor) variable, we then compared that with a new alpha term, based on a one-year regression on a forward-looking basis. For example, trailing five-year alpha ending December 1990 would be compared with a new one-year alpha calculated using data from January through December 1991. Using a time series that starts at the end of December 1990, funds were sorted into quintiles and compared with the one-year forward alpha. Quintile 1 refers to the 20% of funds with the highest past alpha, while quintile 5 refers to the lowest 20% of funds. The portfolio formation process was repeated on a monthly basis through December 2016, while one-year forward alpha was also calculated in a similar manner though December 2017. Chart 1 plots the average one-year forward annualized alpha based on starting quintile, revealing a monotonic relationship. These results are consistent with other studies and would indicate that there is some performance persistency of alpha, both positive and negative, up to at least one year.
Given these results, it's logical to consider establishing an investment strategy that ranks multi-asset funds based on past alpha generation. A simple strategy that consistently bought the funds ranked in the top 20% based on past alpha, and held those funds for one year, would have been expected to deliver 1.4% of annualized alpha. Additionally, that strategy would have produced positive alpha 65% of the time. Though there are practical limitations to implementing this exact strategy, as investors are confronted with challenges such as a fund being closed for investment, it is worth noting that implementing a strategy based on the top quintile is not a severe restriction given the number of unique multi-asset funds. Chart 2 shows the number of funds that ranked in the top quintile, starting in December 1990 and running through the end of 2016. At the end of 1990, an investor would have had the ability to choose from 10 funds that ranked in the top quintile, while at the end of 2016, that number was 107.
Selecting a fund manager is a daunting challenge because there is no way to know which managers may perform best and there are many considerations besides performance. One somewhat obvious objective is to select a manager that will provide positive value, or alpha. It is by no means the only factor an investor should rely on, but as it pertains to multi-asset funds, the results of this analysis suggest that investors would be well served incorporating past alpha generation when screening the universe of available investment options.
