The author of Jyscal the Angel, considers this page to be unfinished. As such, some sections may change.
A simple child born into Kenshines family. meaning he's darkness's older brother. but what happened to him was angels took him into their guidence and had him kill innocents. Angels were not a friendly race at the time and G.U.N. wanted powers so they captured jyscal ad forced him to work for them. eventualy Jyscal fought Darkness not knowing their brotherhood. After the fight that lasted a week Jyscal submitted to his brother and was expected to be slain, but wasnt instead he was freed from his control and given a set of books from their mother to read to regan his memories. Time took a toll on Jyscal because he was forced to re-enter GUN's services because they re-created the ties of control and this time they had no way of being broken.. or so they thought because one day a small baby girl no older that 1 hour old was teleported to him and in it had a note only saying "Semirez" and that broke the ties again and Jyscal raised her as his own. which is true because she came from the future that ended badly for her so the future jyscal and future fire sent her back in time to him to help fully sever the ties.
SFW Backstory (cuz i like having multiple versions)
A another and more simple version to his backstory would be that when he woke up after being launched into space he wound up in a distant planet unkown to him or his relatives. He walked through the streets trying to call his family and it attracted thugs and so they chased him into a back alley where they beat him until all of them were defeated by a fryinging pan to the head and his new adoptive mother Rey was taking him in and keeping him in a very good watch and home. That same night he showed Rey his books and also tried to call out through the stars to his family... they heard him but they couldnt respond Darkness being taken in by G.U.N unable to respond and Elizabeth not having enough energy to transform and call out to him either so he remained alone in his family with Rey who loved him like he was her own and after his training he decided to stay with her.

Allegations of corruption, brutality, threats: Key findings from the report into Montreal police
Bouchard report paints 'worrisome portrait' of internal affairs, says Public Security Minister Martin Coiteux
The report into the Montreal police service paints a troubling portrait of inner turmoil and calls for an end to the "climate of tension and suspicion that has developed" within the force.
Former deputy justice minister Michel Bouchard describes how several internal investigations into the conduct of police officers — including allegations of corruption, brutality and threats — were "botched."
The uncovering of what Public Security Minister Martin Coiteux calls a "systemic and very serious problem" at the heart of the force ultimately led to the suspension of police Chief Philippe Pichet on Wednesday.
Bouchard's findings are based on the study of 1,005 internal cases from 2010 to 2017. Pichet was made chief in 2015.
Here are some of the key findings of the 98-page report.
Long delays in investigating allegations of threats
When it comes to internal investigations, the report found that several cases were subjected to lengthy delays — often without any explanation.
In 2013, a civilian filed a complaint with the Sureté du Québec, alleging that they received death threats from four Montreal police officers.
While the SQ informed the SPVM's internal affairs division and provided the contact information for the complainant, the file was only given to an investigator 16 months later in October 2014.
The file was deemed "inactive" a year later because the complainant was unreachable.
"The inexplicable delay to start the investigation clearly produced this result," concludes the report.
The report also cites another example from 2013, in which a complaint was filed against a police officer who allegedly threatened a civilian with charges for offences they never committed.
The complainant was contacted nine months later by internal affairs and they refused to pursue the complaint, saying they had moved on to other things.
"Once again, the long delay to open this investigation is not explained and led to abandonment by the complainant," the report reads.
Promoted without being sanctioned
Bouchard also found that when a higher up within the Montreal police was being looked into for possible links to organized crime in 2013, the investigation was "treated lightly."
The report found that the investigation was handled "in an exceptional fashion" because a senior director was assigned to oversee the file, instead of an investigator.
The director who looked into the allegations repeatedly referred to the police officer by their first name only, which Bouchard suggests means there was a "friendly or familiar link" with the reader of the report.
The investigation wasn't nearly as fleshed out or documented compared to a similar case, according to Bouchard.
In spite of the allegations, the police officer in question was promoted repeatedly afterward.
Close ties
The public probe found that a file concerning a "serious allegation of corruption" against a police officer was "only a single page" in 2015.
There is little information provided, according to the report, and the file doesn't indicate who opened the case.
Bouchard reported the police officer at the centre of the allegation was under the supervision of a superior who had managed the internal affairs division for years.
The report suggests that "without any other explanation," the file was not followed up because of the relationship between the officer and his new superior, who recently moved from internal affairs.
Witnesses, complainants disregarded
The report found that in 2011, a case involving a 14-year-old girl led to a "botched investigation without making real efforts to complete the case."
The girl claimed that a Montreal police officer hit her at the exit of a Metro station, but not a single witness on the scene was questioned about what happened.
While the complainant was deemed "credible," the case was closed after three months because video surveillance footage of the incident was "impossible to retrace," said Bouchard.
"Since the complainant was quoted as saying that she simply wanted a note flagging the assault committed against her be added to the police officer's file, the case was closed without pursuing an investigation," said the report.
In 2014, a complainant approached internal affairs and told the department she witnessed brutality at the hands of two officers. As a "credible" witness, the report said she also clearly identified the police officers.
However, the file shows that the alleged victim was never approached by internal affairs and the way the case was handled was to "convince the complainant that the work of police officers is difficult," said Bouchard.
As a result, the file was closed by internal affairs after asking the commander of that station to talk to the two police officers.
"No real investigation was initiated even when the main witness is credible and disturbed by the brutal actions of the officers," said Bouchard.
In another case, a police officer was accused of harassment by their wife in 2011.
While the file mentions the case was transferred to Quebec's Director of Penal and Criminal Prosecutions, Bouchard found that "nothing in the report" confirms that is the case and that no allegation was brought forth to the province's Public Security Ministry.
"It allows us to believe that this complaint was not the subject of a true investigation on behalf of the internal affairs division," reads the report.

Al-Shabaab Vows Terror Attacks on Kenya
Al-Shabaab Vows Terror Attacks on Kenya
Somali militant group, Al-Shabaab, which is affiliated with Al-Qaida, has vowed to carry out terrorist actions in Kenya, in what it says will be a fight back against the recent invasions on their lands.
Kenya has blamed Al-Shabaab for a number of foreign-aid worker kidnappings and attacks on its soil, and earlier this month sent troops and fighter jets into Somalia, targeting key cities being controlled by the Islamic group.
The militants have urged supporters in Kenya to stop throwing grenades and move on to bigger weapons and bombs.
Speaking to a crowd of hundreds in Elesha, Sheikh Mukhtar Robow Abu Mansoor, one of the group's leaders, has said that he wants to see "huge blasts" shake the Kenyan leadership and opposition forces.
The sheikh has also said that they had tried to hold talks with the Kenyan government, but that the invasions have moved them beyond the point of negotiating.
"Kenya, you have started the war and so you have to face the consequences", the sheikh warned, promising that the militants would fight back.
Another spokesman claimed that Al Shabaab militants had already attacked and defeated a Kenyan military force near the town of Tabdo.
A Kenyan official, Alfren Mutua, has immediately moved to deny that such negotiation efforts were made, saying they had received no contact from the militant group at all. What is more, he has assured that the government would refuse to negotiate with any such outlawed groups, and that they are continuing with their offensive to take down Al-Shabaab.
Mutua went on to describe the militant group as "running for their lives" and predicted victory for the Kenyan offensive.
The Somali government army have joined forces with Kenya and declared they are ready to help them eradicate the militants from their lands. Terrorism alerts have been issued all throughout the region, with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warning that Al-Shabaab are threatening to spread their influence and could pose a threat to the United States.

Is It The Best Of The Werewolf Games?
White Wolf, writer of position-taking part in video games and books set within the World of Darkness universes, has announced a online game adaptation of Werewolf: The Apocalypse for LAPTOP and consoles. Web function-taking part in games vary from graphical video games comparable to EverQuest to simple text based mostly video games. Tales like this unfold each time a bunch sits right down to a game of One Evening Ultimate Werewolf Guided by just a few cards and a script, each participant takes a role in a narrative that lasts just minutes, but might be talked about for days.
Although in principle a spherical of Werewolf can take as little as 30 minutes, epic rounds last for hours – and one spherical is rarely enough. There are even Halloween games which can be instructional too so that whereas the kids have fun they can be learning.
For self-confessed geeks, that is usually fairly a leap; these interpersonal skills aren't necessarily these most visible on the type of occasions the place Werewolf prospers. Settings that have been explored in role-taking part in games include Pendragon (based on Arthurian legends), Sengoku (about Japanese warring states), Recon (relating to the Vietnam Battle), Fantasy Imperium (takes place in historic Europe).
The werewolf can sense each participant's position and know the identification of other werewolves. Stocked every day with new free games, including action video games, adventure video games, board & card games, multiplayer video games, puzzle games, racing games, skill games, sports games, and extra addicting games.
Sasquatch (-2): You are a villager till a day ends and not using a lynch, during which case you turn into a werewolf. David Votypka, creative director for digital reality at Ubisoft's Pink Storm studio, said that the group began enjoying round with concepts for VR games a number of years in the past.

When People are Big {Overcoming the Fear of Man}
Of course it's a bad-hair-day.
We're visiting a church in another town, my husband speaking about training native pastors and the work of Master's Bible School, and we're all a little uncertain of what to expect.
Do I wear a dress? Are shorts o.k. for the boys? It's an outdoor service – is it o.k. for Tim to wear his Birkenstocks when he teaches? Ethan wants to know if this church will be shorter than ours, and is there a potluck afterward?
I look like I rode in on a Harley, my big hair flying to the four winds in crazy curls.
On the drive in, Ethan also wants to know if daddy gets nervous when he has to stand in front of people. "I like to be in the back, behind the people. But everyone is bigger than me," Ethan says.
There is a God-confidence that is bigger than those social fears, the ones that plague Ethan and I. Tim is prepared and Birkenstocks are o.k. and we even sing some songs we know, out in the beautiful little amphitheater behind a country church that welcomes us in the Lord.
I don't really think anyone is concerned with my hair or our clothes.
"Mom, can you find me some different swim shorts?" he asks later that night. "Henry makes fun of the flowered-ones."
Another round of swim lessons tomorrow and another bout with the fear of man. I don't laugh at his fear or look down on these worries because they are mine, too. Flowered-shorts and wild hair and one huge pimple, all these giants we have to slay just to get out the door.
"Those flowers are called hibiscus and they're cool Hawaiian shorts, bud. That's what the surfers wear," I appeal. It's not the best parenting, I know, but it's all I can come with at the moment.
"Ya, but Henry would make fun of the surfers, too."
Good point.
Henry wants to make you feel less, and when you already struggle with those insecurities it doesn't really matter what surfers wear or what mom thinks is cool.
Henry will laugh.
Henry has also laughed at your pink palms and your brown skin that mommy thinks is lovely. I want to send your big brother in the locker room with Henry, to teach him a little compassion and maybe put some flowered-shorts on him. But Henry is just a little boy who is very observant and likes to talk, and Henry probably has his own Henrys in his life. So it's me, the one who professes Christ, that needs compassion for the Henrys.
The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe. – {Pro 29:25 NKJV}
This fear of man has never accomplished anything good in us, and most of our insecurities are just a self-absorption that takes us away from Christ and distracts us from serving others.
I've heard it said this way: If you realized how little time people spent thinking about you, you'd spend less time thinking about yourself. A little cynical, maybe, but isn't that the cure? That we ought to trust in the Lord and put others first, thinking less of ourselves and making more of Jesus? And truly, the ones who are laughing at you are probably the ones hurting most, the ones who have learned that it's better to hurt you before you hurt them.
The giants we have to slay today are not the Henrys in our life, but the value we place on other's opinions of us.
And I'd really like to know – how do you help your kids (or yourself) overcome this fear of man? Will you join us in the comments?
This right here, the cure for Big People!
Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! – {1Ch 16:8 NKJV}

A chamber music centenary celebration of American composer Elliott Carter (b. 1908) and French composer Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) will be presented Wednesday, September 10, at 7:30 p.m. by CUNY Graduate Center faculty members, students, and guest artists. The concert will be held in the Graduate Center's Baisley Elebash Recital Hall, located at 365 Fifth Avenue (at 34th Street). Admission is free and open to the public.
The City University of New York Graduate Center announces the following public programs to be held during the month of September at the Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street.
The Amie and Tony James Gallery at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York is getting a decidedly modern facelift under the direction of its recently appointed curator, Linda Norden. Accentuating the gallery's prime location on Fifth Avenue between 34th and 35th Streets, on the first floor of the former B. Altman Department Store building, Norden plans to turn the James Gallery into an active art forum and to use its exceptional location to provoke curiosity among pedestrian passersby, as well as art world insiders and the Graduate Center's students and faculty.
Speaker: John Hockenberry, three-time Peabody Award winner, four-time Emmy award winner and Dateline NBC correspondent; now co-host of an NPR morning news program, "The Takeaway"
Speaker: William P. Kelly, President of the Graduate Center and scholar of Early American Republic literature and culture.
From May 15 to June 14, the Graduate Center will present Isabella Ducrot, Russian Faces, forty-two portraits executed in pencil, charcoal, watercolor, and pastel in the Exhibition Hallway. Accompanied by an illustrated, thirty-two page catalogue, Russian Faces is on view Monday through Saturday from 12 to 6 p.m.
Much has been said about America's new immigrants, yet what do we know about the sort of Americans they and their children are now becoming?
Deadpan: Photography, History, Politics—the latest exhibition at the CUNY Graduate Center's Amie and Tony James Gallery—brings together distinctly different bodies of work from Sierra Leone, Lebanon, South Korea, and Australia to consider the efficacy and politics of 'documentary' photography. On view from May 16 through June 28, the exhibition features images by four acclaimed photographic artists—Anne Ferran, Hein-kuhn Oh, Walid Raad, Candace Scharsu—that challenge assumptions about the nature of the documentary mode and its role in the representation of history.
For more than a decade, researchers at the CUNY Graduate Center's Center for Urban Research have conducted the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of second generation immigrants in New York City. The study examines their experiences growing up, their education, entry into the work force, their social and political lives and how they establish their own families. The results will be released as a book, Inheriting the City: the Children of Immigrants Come of Age (Harvard University Press and the Russell Sage Foundation), by Graduate Center Professors John Mollenkopf and Philip Kasinitz, Mary Waters from Harvard, and Jennifer Holdaway of the Social Science Research Council.

Or he could be smaller if you use thinner yarn and a smaller hook, making him perfect for making as a keychain charm
Working with yarn in this way is fun, and you can become very creative, but it can be tricky, so you should be capable of working with tight stitches and in small rounds.
I also suggest learning magic circle, and invisible decreasing.
I have also made this for a friend who wanted to tell their hubby they were expecting a little girl, and asked me to crochet a small grey teddy with a pink heart! so cute...
I will be making a whole load of these to make and sell for the craft fairs I bet they would go like hot cakes. Great stash busting project, and you could change colour for his middle bit, or even stripes! Tiny ted is a really quick project to make too.
I used a 2.50mm hook, and a dark brown double knit yarn (this gives the teddy a lovely finish, so that when you fill him his stuffing does not show through.
2.50 mm hook
2 googley eyes (If making for a child then remember to use safety eyes)
tapestry needle
toy filling/ stuffing
If you want to make the little heart on a string you will need some red yarn and thin wire.
you will be working in single crochet, (sc) through out
2sctog= work 2 single crochet together to decrease.
sc= single crochet
2sc= increase by 1 in same stitch
do not slip to join we will be working in a spiral, if it makes it easier I use a stitch marker to help me keep track on beginning and ending of rounds
An alternative to working a magic circle is to chain 2 and sc the amount of stitches into the first chain created.)
Arms (Make 2)
Rnd 1: work 6 sc into a magic circle, (6)
Rnd2: sc in each stitch around. (6)
Rnd3-Rnd 7: sc around.

Rnd 5-Rnd 9: sc around,
Rnd 10: {sc2tog, sc 5} around,
Rnd 11: {sc2tog, sc 4} around, Stuff body at this stage)
Rnd12: {sc 2tog } around. Fasten off leaving a long length of yarn for attaching
Rnd 1: Work 10sc, into magic circle.
Rnd 2: 2sc, around (20)
Rnd 3: sc, 2sc repat around around (30)
Rnd4-7 sc around ( NOTE: if using safety eyes position them inside at Rnd 6)
Rnd 8: sc2tog every 5th stitch around
Rnd 9 sc2tog every 4th stitch around
Rnd 10: sc2tog every 3rd stitch around (stuff head at this point.)
Rnd 11: sc2 tog around - Fasten off leaving a long length of yarn for attaching
Ears. (Make 2)
Rnd 1: 6sc in magic circle,
Rnd 2: 2sc in each stitch around (12)
Rnd 3: sc in each stitch around (12)
fasten off and stitch the 2 ends together to make a semi circle, I usually pull slightly and gather this part to help create a shaped ear, Leave a long tail and leave to the side, for when you are ready to position the ears and sew to head.
Position legs to side base of body, secure with pins and sew together.
Position arms to sides, just below neck.

Today, Sandi Adams and I went to the church of St David, at Barton St David, which is situated on the Glastonbury Temple of the Stars at the effigy of the dove of peace in Libra, the sign most associated with justice.
We went to give thanks and offerings to the Fae, who gift the Sovereignty through the rivers of blood – the DNA – by which we are joined with our cousins across the ocean. We also thanked Sandi's ancestors because it was there, at Barton St David, that her family line originated and it produced two very important US presidents, John Adams (1735 – 1826). and his son, John Quincy Adams (1767 – 1848).
John Adams was a Founding Father who helped to draft the Declaration of Independence. He was the first vice president of the United States to George Washington's presidency and, in 1796, became the second president.
There is a memorial tablet on the wall, near the altar, that is surmounted by two American flags.
The bronze plaque reads as follows:
"To the glory of God, in honour of St David, and in memory of Henry Adams, born in the parish around 1583, and a founder of New England, 1638. Ancestor of two presidents of the United States, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, whose exalted services to their country evoke a testimony of respect for their ancestral home. This memorial has been erected by Edward Dean Adams, 1926."
President Donald J Trump is often compared to the great patriot John Adams – but not always in a good way. However, it's interesting to note that both Trump and Adams were inspired mavericks confronted by globalist detractors whose voices are always articulated in the fake news of the gutter media of the day.
John Adams is described, like Trump, as an intellectual powerhouse, an equally independent thinker, but whose passionate outspokeness often caused him problems with the press. On the ninth anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, he signed the Alien and Sedition Acts. This act punished journalists who made what were deemed "false, scandalous and malicious" statements against government officials with both hefty fines and prison sentences. I wonder if CNN and Buzz Feed will find themselves in court over their 'false, scandalous and malicious' reporting in recent months?
Adam's eldest son, John Quincy, was likewise always picking fights with the Buddhas or the cats and, for that reason, his term as the sixth president of the United States is generally regarded as a disaster, although he was a great success, after leaving the White House, as a diplomat. As the chief negotiator of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war of 1812, John Quincy Adams managed to get the Brits to agree to accept the status quo ante bellum. And ironically, given recent bogus claims about the Russians, John Quincy wrote the Monroe Doctrine – which decreed that that any intervention by external powers in the politics of the Americas is a potentially hostile act against the US.
It seems to me, from reading the runes, that the Adams line has been seriously downplayed in the records of history to the favour of his Secretary of State, Alexander Hamilton. The Adams birthplace at Barton St David is also not generally known about, nor the plaque over Henry Adams' grave. Henry was the original Adams who emigrated to America and settled in Massachusetts, to escape, so the plaque tells us, "from the Dragons persecution".
In any case, it seems to me that this is how the story of man continually plays out, with one team of Freemasonic types battling against the other team, and that it's probably been this way for more than a millennia.
For instance, is it just a coincidence that the musical Hamilton revises Alexander Hamilton's role in the Adams administration to give him more importance, at Adams' expense? Or that also Vice President Mike Pence was publicly humilated at that performance in what was obviously an orchestrated protest, planned well in advance, against Trump?
At one point, after the election, it was threatened to use a piece of legislation that had been crafted by the wily Alexander Hamilton, to support the electors overturning the vote for Trump.
Call me a batty old lady if you like, but it seems that all these great games are being played out on the world stage as we humbler people go about our lives oblivious.
I don't know if the Adams Family team in the Otherworlds have been batting for Trump, or whether the Hamilton team has been batting against him. But let's put it like this – if John Adams was alive today, he would definitely be taking the nationalistic, patriotic line and we'd find him on Twitter, tweeting at three in the morning, about the lying low-down, gutterstream press!
If you feel that you're starting at ground zero with these Mysteries, reading my book Stories in the Summerlands will get you off on the right foot.
It will allow me to take you much deeper into the estoric lore that is being gradually uncovered in the landscape of Avalon that was created by the Knights Templars and Dragon Clans.

In October 2014, the Government introduced the Framework to provide a common set of performance measures for increased accountability and greater transparency in the way regulators perform their role.
The Framework requires regulators to look at how they operate and the regulatory impact they create when administering regulation. It also helps to drive cultural change in regulators to encourage them to adopt appropriate regulatory risk-based approaches to their role.
Framework KPIs
The Framework has identified six outcomes-based Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to assess the performance of regulators:
KPI 1 – Regulators do not unnecessarily impede the efficient operation of regulated entities
KPI 2 – Communication with regulated entities is clear, targeted, and effective
KPI 3 – Actions undertaken by regulators are proportionate to the regulatory risk being managed
KPI 4 – Compliance and monitoring approaches are streamlined and coordinated
KPI 5 – Regulators are open and transparent in their dealings with regulated entities
KPI 6 – Regulators actively contribute to the continuous improvement of regulatory frameworks
Each regulator is required to develop output or activity-based evidence metrics against the KPIs. These are used to assess their performance in the annual self-assessments and the periodic external review processes.
Framework metrics
Annual self-assessments of regulator performance
All regulators are required to carry out self-assessments of their performance against their agreed evidence metrics. Self-assessments are approved by the regulator's Accountable Authority under the PGPA Act, and validated by approved stakeholder consultation mechanisms.
2017-18 Regulator Performance Framework self-assessment

Row shuts Mountrath pubs
MOUNTRATH was brought to a standstill last Friday night week, when a violent dispute among members of the Travelling community forced several of the local pubs to close early for fear of property damage or personal injury.
Garda Superintendent Philp Lyons told the Leinster Express that the incident occurred after a group of Travellers, who have a connection with the area, stopped off in Mountrath on their way back from a funeral in Dundalk.
A number of fights broke out in Market Square, forcing several of the local publicans to close their doors earlier than expected in order to escape the disturbance. Two units of the gardaí were called to the scene and a number of arrests were made. Superintendent Lyons has confirmed that no weapons were involved and no damage was caused to any local business.
"The pubs closed out of fear of what might happen," Supt Lyons said, adding that the situation calmed down quickly after gardaí arrived.
There were no reports of any serious injuries although a number of people are expected to be charged.

Branding & Rebranding Package
Why do you need a branding package?
Branding is the marketing practice of creating a name, symbol or design, often referred to as a logo, that identifies and differentiates your services. However, it is more than just a logo — branding if done well represents your clinic's identity.
What are the benefits of a branding package?
- Promotes recognition – clients are more likely to reach out to someone they are familiar with.
- Helps you differentiate yourself from the competition.
- Tells your future patient about your identity and what to expect.
- Provides your business value – a strong brand provides value to a business way beyond physical possessions.
How do I get started?
You've got your clinic's name, now let us help you create your logo and, if necessary, some of your clinic's collateral. We offer a variety of services to help you get started.

Rep. Al Green, D-Houston, said he's "going to sign onto every piece of legislation that comes along that's reasonable" to bring one of the retired space shuttles to Houston.
Congressman Al Green on Budget and Shuttle Debates: MyFoxHOUSTON.com
The interview came a week after Green and fellow Houston Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, former member of the House Science Committee, introduced legislation that would temporarily loan the space shuttle Discovery to the Johnson Space Center for 15 years.
In an interview on Houston's FOX 26 with Jose Grinan, Grinan brought up what he called New York Sen. Chuck Schumer's "fighting words" about New York receiving Enterprise, one of the retired space shuttles.
"I think Sen. Schumer is doing what he should do," Green said. "He should protect the interests of the people in New York. And I want to do what I have to do and protect the interests of the people in Texas."
Green said the debate is not about New York, California or D.C. but is instead about the Johnson Space Center and the fact that it was the "heartland of the shuttle program."
"We merit a shuttle in Houston, Texas," he said.
Green also discussed the budget and the debt ceiling with Grinan, and he said the process of the cuts wasn't fair because of what he called a "closed rule."
"I had two amendments that we wanted to get in — one dealt with housing counseling," he said. "We had found that persons who have received counseling would get their payments reduced $434 more than persons who don't receive counseling when they get their loans remodified."
Green also said there was an amendment dealing with a program that provides housing for veterans.
"There was an opportunity there to help 2,500 work veterans to get a home, so the process wasn't fair," he said. "It was a closed rule."
Green also said the government has to raise the debt ceiling because the "economic prowess of the United States of America is on the line, the prowess of the dollar is on the line, the prestige of the American economy is on the line."
He said without doing so, areas like the stock market and Social Security payments could be damaged.
He said he hoped the debt ceiling would be raised by this summer and "by all means we have to do it."

human-life approach
A method for calculating a recommended amount of life insurance coverage to replace income lost by the death of the covered individual. Families with one or both parents working may choose the human-life approach in assessing whether a policy will enable the family to maintain its standard of living if one parent dies. Factors to consider include the covered individual's total compensation from employment (including health and retirement benefits) that would be lost and how long any dependent children in the family need to be supported.

Get Balanced This Spring with Panchakarma
Get Balanced This Spring with Panchakarma
The Magdalene, a therapeutic massage practice specializing in Ayurveda, will begin offering Panchakarma treatments this spring in collaboration with Ayur Wellness Center and other holistic practitioners in Norwalk. Panchakarma (Sanskrit for "five actions") is a detoxification and cleansing program for body, mind and spirit that comes from India's ancient preventative health system, known as the "science of life." It involves bodywork and nutritional therapies that help remove deep-rooted toxins caused by stress and illness, using Nature's wisdom to restore health and vitality.
Panchakarma is like hitting the body's reset button to maintain optimal health and bring harmony to the entire system, which is why it's usually performed in the spring and fall, according to Lorraine Gengo, owner of The Magdalene. It can also be used at other times to combat low energy, digestive and eliminative problems, as well as other imbalances. "I am very excited to be offering Panchakarma in conjunction with Vaidya Archana Kulkarni, who brings a wealth of experience and Ayurvedic knowledge to the program," Gengo said. Kulkarni received her doctorate in Ayurvedic medicine from Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, India, and has been practicing for 10 years, most recently at her center in Easton, Pa., before relocating to Norwalk in December.
To learn more about the program, there will be a free informational workshop on Wednesday, March 10 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at The Magdalene, 5 Wall Street, Norwalk. RSVP at 914.844.4294. For more general information on Panchakarma and Ayurveda, visit AyurWellness.com.

The Chivas USA makeover continues.
A day after trading for midfielder Mauro Rosales, Chivas USA sent Jorge Villafana and the No. 2 overall pick in Stage 1 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft to the Portland Timbers in exchange for centerback Andrew Jean-Baptiste and the No. 17 pick on Thursday.
The move reunites Villafana with Timbers head coach Caleb Porter, who included the versatile youngster on the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team that failed to qualify for the 2012 Olympics. It also gives Chivas USA another potential candidate to start in central defense alongside veteran Carlos Bocanegra.
Jean-Baptiste started 22 of the 26 games he played this past season under Porter and added one goal and one assist. Villafana started 15 and played in 20 for the lackluster Goats, scoring one goal and notching four assists.
The Timbers used the No. 2 pick they received on Thursday to acquire Steve Zakuani in the Re-Entry Draft.
Here are more notes from an extremely busy day around the league:
The New York Red Bulls bolstered their front line on Thursday by re-signing one of their own. Andre Akpan, a forward who was set to enter the Re-Entry Draft, was signed to a new deal by the Red Bulls. Akpan notched two assists in seven regular season appearances for New York in 2013.
"We are pleased to come to an agreement with Andre," said Red Bulls sporting director Andy Roxburgh in a statement. "Andre exhibited this year that he can provide us with a solid goal-scoring option. He is a very good professional and we look forward to him developing as a striker in 2014."
If you were wondering why the Timbers took a chance on Zakuani, one of the reasons was because Rodney Wallace is set to miss a substantial amount of the 2014 season.
The Timbers announced Thursday that Wallace underwent successful surgery to repair a torn right anterior cruciate ligament and a non-displaced right tibial plateau fracture as well as a meniscectomy in his right knee. Wallace sustained the injuries in the second leg of the Western Conference finals against Real Salt Lake on Nov. 24 and is expected to be out five to seven months.
The timeframe for recovery likely takes Wallace out of contention for Costa Rica's World Cup squad next summer.
The Columbus Crew continued to wheel and deal on Thursday, as they received the rights to midfielder Daniel Paladini from the Chicago Fire. In return, Chicago got Columbus' fourth round pick (61st overall) in the upcoming MLS SuperDraft.
Paladini has spent the last three seasons with the Fire. He played in 20 matches in 2013, scoring two goals and delivering three assists for a Chicago team that just missed the playoffs.
Earlier in the day, Columbus sent Chad Marshall to the Seattle Sounders in a trade that saw them receive allocation money and a third round pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
Josh Ford has spent each of the first three years of his career with the Seattle Sounders, and it looks like that streak will continue in 2014. The 26-year-old Ford signed a new deal with the Sounders on Thursday that should keep him at the club that drafted him in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft.
"We are very happy to bring Josh back in 2014," said Sounders sporting director Chris Henderson in a released statement. "The work that he has done with goalkeeper coach Tom Dutra has helped him to be in a position to compete in goal. Josh is an up-and-coming goalkeeper with very good quality and has proven to be a great teammate in the clubhouse."
What do you think of the Chivas USA-Timbers trade? Happy to see the Red Bulls bring back Akpan? How big of a blow is Wallace's injury to Portland?

MTA featured in the New Yorker
On April 20, the MTA was featured in an excellent article by Dawn Chan in the New Yorker. Take a look:
The article asks, "Can the Mormon transhumanist movement reconcile technological progress with religious prophecy?" and includes excerpts from interviews with Christopher Bradford, Lincoln Cannon, and Carl Youngblood.
Join the Association and be part of the world's largest religious transhumanist group!
Christopher Bradford elected new MTA President
At the March meeting of the Board of Directors of the Mormon Transhumanist Association, the Board elected Christopher Bradford as the new President and CEO of the MTA. Chris is a founding member of the MTA and has previously served as Vice-President and has been on the Board of Directors since its founding. Chris and his wife, Lucy, have eight children. Chris spent most of his youth overseas in the Middle East and Europe, returning to the U.S. to graduate with a degree in Linguistics from BYU. Professionally, Chris is VP of Engineering at Ancestry; he also enjoys performing, especially musical theater and choral music; reading; and philosophy.
This leadership change coincides with the tenth anniversary of the founding of the MTA. Throughout this decade, the MTA has been headed by Lincoln Cannon, who has done a tremendous job as President and CEO. Lincoln will continue to serve on the Board of Directors and will, of course, continue to be actively involved in the MTA. We are grateful for his service -- past, present, and future.
Please direct any questions about this change to firstname.lastname@example.com.

What Career Field Would a Flight Attendant Fall Under?
Flight attendants fulfill myriad duties aboard the aircraft. They comfort nervous or ill passengers suffering from the fear of flying, assist children flying solo with reaching their destinations safely and teach passengers how to secure safety vests and oxygen masks. By definition, their jobs could be considered part of the health care or child care fields or even emergency services, but their work isn't classified in any of these areas. Flight attendants are properly classified in a subsector of the transportation field.
Airline and Transportation Industry
In spite of the varied duties they perform, flight attendants are part of the transportation field -- specifically, the airline industry. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics airline industry overview, titled "Sky-High Careers: Jobs Related to Airlines," calls flight attendants "the face of the airlines." Flight attendants rely on a multitude of skills and qualifications; however, they perform their duties aboard an aircraft, which means their jobs are necessary for the safe transport of passengers from one place to the next.

I was in no rush to review the signing of Victor Martinez by the Detroit Tigers. No, it wasn't all the tryptophan. Players going to a new club that won't change their fantasy value doesn't really float my boat. So let's talk about what's really on my mind, what a crock of shizz Paranormal Activity was. Hey, girlfriend, I have an idea, let's put baby powder on the ground. How about you dump the girl who can't act, isn't that pretty, makes bead jewelry and is being followed around by a demon? That would've been my first thought. Thankfully, I just had to order it on Netflix's Instant thing-a-ma-movie-boob. That, friends, is the best invention in the history of mankind behind the round beach blanket, which is my invention that I haven't mass-produced yet. You never have to turn it when the sun moves! Martinez doesn't have great career numbers at Comerica, but he wasn't hitting right in front of or behind of Miguel Cabrera when he put up those numbers. Plus, he was a visitor. Anyone who has ever visited Detroit will have a pretty good idea why someone might not have the best time. Martinez has never not hit (double negative!) and I don't (triple!) think he suddenly stops never not hitting now. (And he lands the Triple Lindy of double negatives!). Could his numbers take a bit of a hit since he won't be hitting doubles off the Green Monster? Sure, but not enough to drop him below the third best catcher in the majors. Anyway, here's some more moves and their fantasy baseball repercussions:
Jarrod Saltalamacchia – This is actually interesting for me in fantasy. The Salty sleeper post is already written. As they say at supermarkets about receipts, it's in the bag. Sure, Salty hasn't done a damn thing in the majors the last few years, except come down with a case of the yips, but he's going to be a cheap catcher in fantasy drafts that will be hitting in the Red Sox lineup. Thank you, come again!
Javier Vazquez – Signs with the Marlins, and just like that Vazquez gets value again. In his last year in the NL East with the Braves, he had an ERA of 2.87 (which was above his xFIP, for those pushing their glasses up their nose) and a K/9 9.77. That was in 2009. 2009 wasn't that long ago. I still have a 2009 Hello Kitty calender hanging in my kitchen. I told you last year to stay away from Vazquez in The Stadium They Built Next To The House That Ruth Built. This year, I'm saying the opposite. He'll be in a stadium that suppresses home runs, in a division where he'll face two of the bottom seven worst offenses per 2010 (the Gnats and the Mess). I don't think Vazquez simply returns to his 2009 numbers, but around a 3.75 ERA is still quite possible. Yeah, I modified with "quite." Get used to it!
Aubrey Huff – The re-signing of Huff by the Giants does little to nothing for his fantasy value, i.e., it stays what it was last year, i.e., he either repeats his great season or does what everyone expected him to do before his great season and underperforms, i.e., he'll probably be a fantasy bust.
Clint Barmes – Finally, the Astros have a replacement for Craig Biggio. Only it's the Biggio we saw in his last major league season when he hit 10 home runs and batted .251 and stole 4 bases. In NL-Only leagues, I could see Barmes having some value as a late flier to see if he can hit fifteen home runs and steal ten bases (both numbers are his ceiling), but his average will probably be tizz-errible.
Eric Young Jr. – Even if you just started reading Razzball, you're well aware I love me some Eric Young Jr. I'm naming my firstborn Eric Young Albright Jr. With Barmes out of town, Young should have regular time at second base. He will definitely get a sleeper post in the near future.
Felipe Paulino – For pitchers with at least 80 IP, Paulino threw the 2nd hardest fastball behind only Ubaldo. Like hanging out with the elderly, there's trouble with the walks. On the bright side, his FIP was 3.44 compared to his 5.11 ERA. Paulino may not warrant fantasy consideration in all leagues, but in deeper mixed leagues (think 14+ teams) Paulino has the upside worth drafting.

SmartestEnergy has become a partner with UK Power Networks to investigate the commercial viability of using energy storage systems as part of the UK's future energy mix.
The Smarter Network Storage Project, funded by Ofgem's Low Carbon Network Fund (LCNF), looks to assess the potential value of storage on the network by providing a demonstration project to help facilitate learning with regard to the operation and commerciality.
The project is installing 6MW/10MWh of Samsung lithium manganese batteries at Leighton Buzzard primary substation and will be operational by the end of 2014.
SmartestEnergy is assisting the project by providing commercial insight and helping to educate the other participants with regard to what may be feasible in the electricity market for such an asset.
"SmartestEnergy has looked at the potential for electrical energy storage a number of times over the past few years and firmly believes that they are on the cusp of being commercially viable, given expectations with regard to the future shape of the market," said SmartestEnergy Business Development Manager James Graham, who is leading the company's participation in the project.
"This project gives us an ideal opportunity to assess the operational and commercial performance of energy storage in a live environment, giving us cutting-edge insight into the future for such assets," said James.
SmartestEnergy has also facilitated the project by providing supplier services such as meter registration and import electricity as required, plus access to market services (under an ETSA) and the potential to 'toll' the energy storage device under a related arrangement.
There are eight identified 'partners' for this project including SmartestEnergy, collectively providing technical and commercial skills to the development of the batteries.
The LCNF is a fund established by Ofgem, running in five phases from 2010 to 2015, that is designed to allow distribution companies to test new technologies, operating and commercial arrangements to enable them to understand and develop their role in security of supply and providing value for money to end consumers.

Announcing: ETF2L 6v6 Preseason 25 Cup!
August 21, 2016
We are starting off season 25 with a 6v6 cup featuring two controversial maps made by phi, as well as a new king of the hill map by Tekku. The main focus of the cup is to test allowing all weapon pickups as well as play testing koth_forge_b3!
The ETF2L 6v6 Preseason 25 Cup
Signups are open until Monday 29th August 20:00 CEST! Eligible to participate is any 6v6 or Fun team that has 6 players on the roster at the end of Signups.
The cup will run on one day in a group stage format
Tuesday, August 30th.
- 19:00 CEST: Round 1 on cp_sunshine and koth_forge_b3
- 20:00 CEST: Round 2 on koth_forge_b3 and cp_reckoner_b3
- 21:00 CEST: Round 3 on cp_reckoner_b3 and cp_sunshine
We will create groups of 4 teams, so you'll be able to prepare screenshots for Season 25, as well as having fun games. Make sure you select the division you're most likely going to apply for in Season 25 or you think your mix team is capable of handling.
Teams will be seeded first come first serve. Signing up late just before the deadline will not guarantee your team a seed if there aren't 3 other teams to create a bracket.
The 6v6 Season 24 rules apply in this cup with the exception of the merc rule and weapon pickup rules. We are allowing one default merc per match. Please only present players as default mercs, that meet the experience requirements to prevent time consuming discussions (for clarification see point 1.4 of the HL Season 10 rules). All weapon pickups, including mediguns, are now permitted.
NOTE: Abuse of picking up weapons from ground with a pickup spam bind will result in punishments such as default losses if done during any of the games.
The whitelist that is going to be used is this one (This is a test-whitelist that is not necessarily going to be the exact same for Season 25).
You can also execute the whitelist by typing "rcon tftrue_whitelist_id 6249" if you have TFTRUE installed.
In short, the following weapons have been added to the whitelist of Season 24:
+ Brass Beast
+ Pomson 6000
… and fixed taunts accordingly to be up to date with the newest set of items.
Every 1st team will receive a pixel trophy on their team page and the rights to brag about their achievements.
In any case, there is going to be a newspost before the cup starts. Make sure to check etf2l.org before you play your first round match for all the updates!!
We opened a forumtopic for this cup, feel free to provide us with feedback!
