"A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. . . . For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" – Galatians 2:16,19-21
What makes someone a good Christian? Is it the fact that they are in church almost every single Sunday? Or that they give 10 percent or more of their income to the work of the church? Or that they always seem to be helping a neighbor in need? These certainly are wonderful fruits of the Christian faith, but they do not make someone a good Christian.
In the Apostle Paul's day there were some who thought being a good Christian meant keeping certain Old Testament laws like eating the right foods, observing the right holidays, and being circumcised. Unfortunately, they began to think that doing such things somehow contributed to their salvation. They believed that their obedience to certain laws played some part in being declared innocent of their sins before God.
Being a good Christian has never been about keeping God's law, and if it were, none of us would be good Christians. "A man is not justified by observing the law," the Bible says. That's because the law demands 100 percent obedience 100 percent of the time. According to God's law, even one slip-up means total failure. Just one filthy thought, one hurtful word, or one unkind action disqualifies us from being declared not guilty by a holy and perfect God. God's verdict in his law on mankind is absolutely true: "There is no one righteous, not even one" (Romans 3:10). There are no good Christians when it comes to observing the law.
This is why we so desperately need Christ. He is the only one who perfectly observed God's law, and he did it in our place. As the Bible teaches, "If righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" But Christ didn't die for nothing. He died for all of our failures to keep God's law. Through faith in him we are declared not guilty before God. We are connected to Christ in his death and resurrection and set free to live our lives in thankful obedience to God's law. Not to be good Christians, but because through faith in Jesus we already are.

TORONTO, Sept. 17 /CNW/ - New research by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and the Sherbourne Health Centre sheds light on the mental health of bisexual people in Ontario by looking at the context of mental health issues in this group. The Bisexuality, Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being Research Project also found that the existing mental health services do not adequately meet the needs of bisexual people. The Ontario-wide project evaluated the experiences of bisexual people based on three main determinants of health: social factors, including biphobia and stigma; interpersonal relationships, including those with the LGBT community, the workplace and partners; and internal factors, including self-acceptance and identity struggles. The results demonstrated that social biphobia and stereotypes about bisexuals have far reaching negative effects on the mental health and well-being of bisexual people. Though previous research shows that bisexual people are more likely to seek help with mental health issues than heterosexuals, many who were surveyed expressed frustration when interacting with the healthcare system. "Bisexual people we interviewed felt that therapists and other health care providers need a better understanding of the continuums of sexuality and gender," said Dr. Lori Ross, Scientist with CAMH's Social, Equity and Health Unit who conducted research on the project. Ross also says that gaps in the system may point to the need for specialized clinical training. "Many participants reported that they felt that some queer-friendly therapists were uncomfortable dealing with certain mental health issues, while mainstream mental health clinicians did not have an understanding of the specific challenges faced by bisexual people." While many of the respondents also had positive experiences with queer-friendly clinicians, the report shows that the lack of understanding of bisexuality also extends into the queer community. "Some clinicians, even those from the LGBT community, have difficulty seeing bisexuality as a healthy and legitimate sexual orientation," said Anna Travers, former Program Manager LGBT Services, Sherbourne Health Centre. Several of the people suggested that a website is needed listing providers and services that are clinically and culturally competent in serving bisexual clients. I am happy to say that this is something that is now being addressed through the soon-to-be-launched Rainbow Health Ontario website" The research explores these problems, along with other difficulties regarding stereotypes about bisexuality and acceptance among friends, families and the public. It makes a number of suggestions for fostering a more inclusive and effective mental health system for bisexual people, including education for providers and the public along with increased resources for mental health. The research results will be presented at an event on September 23, 2008 from 7-9 pm at Sherbourne Health Centre (333 Sherbourne Street, Toronto). The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, as well as one of the world's leading research centres in the area of addiction and mental health. CAMH combines clinical care, research, education, policy development and health promotion to help transform the lives of people affected by mental health and addiction issues. CAMH is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, and is a Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Collaborating Centre. Sherbourne Health Centre is a free-standing health centre funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. The Centre provides innovative primary health care to all the diverse populations of southeast Toronto with special focus on homeless people, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and transgendered communities, and newcomers to Canada. Sherbourne's LGBT Primary Health Care Program provides medical care, counselling, parenting resources and community health promotion, as well as education and research activities. Sherbourne's latest initiative, Rainbow Health Ontario, is a provincial program committed to promoting better access to services and to enhancing the health and wellbeing of Ontario's lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities.

Without this vital link with the outside world, the Confederacy lost all advantage in the war. Amidst all the turmoil of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, ending slavery in all territories, including the South, which Lincoln continued to insist was under Union jurisdiction. Recognition of the Proclamation became a required element of Lincoln's "ten-percent plan", whereby 10% of the population of any seceded state could reform the state government and apply for readmission ...

The boat was headed towards New Orleans and this is where Lincoln saw his first, but not last, slave auction.

Abe Lincoln Abraham Lincolns assassination was a malevolent ending to an already bitter and spiteful event in American history, the Civil War. John Wilkes Booth and his group of co-conspirators developed plans in the late summer of 1864 to only kidnap the President and take him the Confederate capital of Richmond and hold him in return for Confederate prisoners of war. Booths group of conspirators: Samuel Arnold, Michael OLaughlen, John Surratt, Lewis Paine, George Atzerodt, David Herold, and Mary Surratt (Johns wife), made plans on March 17, 1865, to capture Lincoln, who was scheduled to see a play at a hospital in the outskirts of Washington. However, Lincoln changed plans and remained in ...

A year later, his mother gave birth to another boy, Thomas, but he died a few days later. When Lincoln was seven his family moved to Indiana. In 1818, Lincolns mother died from a deadly disease called the "milk-sick." Then ten years later his sister died and left him with only his father and stepmother. Lincoln traveled to New Salem in April 1831 and settled there the following July.

Taney, and Democratic presidents Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan had conspired to nationalize slavery. In the same speech he expressed the view that the nation would become either all slave or all free: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The underdog in the senatorial campaign, Lincoln wished to share Douglas's fame by appearing with him in debates. Douglas agreed to seven debates: in Ottawa, Freeport, Jonesboro, Charleston, Galesburg, Quincy, and Alton, Ill.

All American Tragedy Without a doubt, most Americans can distinctly draw a picture in their minds of John Wilkes Booth ... The Civil War had ended five days previously with the surrender of General Lee. President Lincoln and the first lady had decided to take a night off and see a stage play at the Ford's Theatre. An obviously enraged young actor preceded into the stage box a kills Lincoln, and then exits the theatre by jumping on to the stage and escaping through the back where a horse had been waiting. Booth tried to escape for good, but within two weeks he was killed in a violent ordeal near Bowling Green, VA. From the moment the shot rang out in that theatre, the American people knew who ...

In 1862 General U.S. Grant came to Mississippi, and Henson began his career as a Union Spy.

Although his military reputation has declined as well, it nevertheless continues to win him a steady following. Even his most faithful admirers, however, tend to end their studies conveniently at Appomattox, and one senses a wide regret that Grant's public career extended beyond the Civil War.

Workers on sick leave not entitled to holiday pay
In Depth
Under Regulation 13 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 ("WTR") a worker is entitled to four weeks' paid annual leave in each leave year ("Working Time Holiday"). This entitlement includes Bank and Public Holidays. There has been a lot of case law about how Working Time Holiday entitlement should work in practice.
However, in 2002 the EAT reached the following conclusions:
- workers on long term sick leave, who have exhausted entitlement to statutory and contractual sick pay, can take Working Time Holiday paid at the salary they received prior to their absence, even though they are on sick leave (Kigass Aero Components v Brown [2002] ICR 697, reported in Employment Alert No. 42);
- a worker can bring a Tribunal claim for non-payment of holiday pay as an unlawful deduction from wages (under the Employment Rights Act 1996) instead of bringing a claim under the WTR. In practical terms, this meant that workers could claim back payment for all previous years of unpaid holiday (provided that the last failure to pay was within three months of the Tribunal complaint). The WTR does not allow for such back payments – a worker can only bring a claim in respect of a single holiday year (List Design Group Limited v Douglas [2002] ICR 686).
What has the Court of Appeal decided?
The Court of Appeal (in the case of Commissioners for the Inland Revenue v Ainsworth ) has overturned both of the above EAT decisions.
Workers on long term sickness absence who have exhausted their sick pay entitlement (both statutory and contractual) cannot take Working Time Holiday while on sick leave. In addition, if employment ends, they will not be entitled to be paid in lieu of it.
A worker who brings a claim for non-payment of holiday entitlement must do so under the WTR within 3 months of the date when the payment should have been made. Workers may not bring claims relating to previous years of holiday entitlement.
What does this mean for employers?
This decision is good news for employers.
In light of it, employers may wish to consider making it clear that, if workers have exhausted their right to sick pay, they will not be entitled to take paid holiday while they are off work sick. If an employee's employment ends, they will not be entitled to be paid in lieu of holiday in respect of a period during which they were not entitled to take it. This may necessitate a change to contracts of engagement and employment and/or Employee Handbooks.

Without warning I was grabbed from behind, lifted off the ground and twirled around.
I screamed and swore loudly at my assailant. Then I realized who it was and swore even more.
"Despite that mouth of yours, you're more beautiful than ever," he said.
"Kyle McVee, you idiot!" I cried, and hugged him hard.
"Ah, you've missed me," he crowed as he held me snugly in his arms.
"No, I didn't miss you," I said, burying my face in the crook of his delicious-smelling neck. "You're a cad and a rat fink, remember? The Bad Boy Bookseller of Belgravia. I curse your name every morning."
"I love you, too, my sweet," he said with a laugh. "Besides, I've mellowed."
"Really," I said.
"Yes, I'm quite housebroken these days, not a rat at all." He kissed me full on the lips. "Mm, you've still got the sexiest mouth on four continents."
"Oh, stop it." I stood back and looked at the man who'd broken my heart threeor was it four?years ago. My breath almost caught as I stared. Kyle McVee was simply beautiful. Tall, elegant, with a wicked grin and dark eyes that sparkled with charm and humor, he had the look of an angel but was an unapologetic devil through and through. He was yet another living example of my pitiful taste in men.
Maybe I did have a sad habit of picking the most unsuitable men, but I certainly chose the prettiest ones.

Belfast is perhaps one of the most interesting and tragic cities I visited in Ireland. Northern Ireland, ripped apart for decades by religion and nationalism, is represented in Belfast by the black cabs, the cemeteries, the wall and the murals.
As part of our Peace and Conflicts Program, we took tours, met IRA and UFF veterans, talked to newspapers and more. It really was an enlightening and affecting experience. These photos capture that feeling.

A mindset of gratitude brings benefits throughout the year. Gratitude is the ability to notice, interpret and appreciate the positives aspects of life. Being grateful can increase contentment and also may enhance health. According to various studies, gratitude can help:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Boost immunity
- Add longevity
- Improve sleep quality
- Lower blood pressure
- Help with cholesterol levels
Taking time to be thankful is good for your health and your mood.
Ways to Practice Gratitude
You may want to consider some of these ways to cultivate more gratitude in your daily life:
Keep a gratitude journal. You can recall and reflect on the good things in life simply by writing about five things for which you are grateful. You only need to write a sentence about each item. However, as you journal, take time to contemplate these thoughts – rather than dash off a hurried list of items. The Greater Good Science Center offers other practical suggestions on how to keep a gratitude journal.
Send thank you notes. It can help lead to better life. John Kralik, author of A Simple Act of Gratitude, found the act of writing a daily thank you note over the course of a year helped strengthen family and business relationships. He recommends writing the note by hand and mailing it, rather than using email. The personal touch adds to the sincerity and commitment, and people enjoy getting an unexpected note in the mail. Gratitude has no expiration date, so it is never too late to put your appreciation into words.
Do a good deed for someone. Paying it forward not only brings you and others pleasure, it also reminds you of helpful actions others have done for you. Good deeds can be small acts of kindness that come from the heart. For instance, the daily tasks involved in caring for a loved one are valuable beyond words.
Say "thank you" often. Mom was right. "Thank you" are two of the most important words you can say to anyone who provides service. Express your gratefulness to others. Make gratitude a habit.
ComForCare/At Your Side appreciates the countless ways family caregivers support their elderly loved ones dealing with dementia, Alzheimer's disease and other chronic health conditions.

Schedules are the rules which include or exclude time on a calendar. They are used by service levels, group on –call rotation and inactivity motor. For example schedule can be defined to restrict service levels to apply on weekdays during business hours or to execute holidays from on-call rotation.
Scheduled jobs are the jobs that are performed either at a particular time or on a recurring schedule. It allows you run scheduled jobs at various intervals. In scheduled jobs you have options like import on a specific day / week / month / year / any other custom time provided. In certain contains you can work with the default set up provided. In certain cases,in order to schedule a job you need to add some conditional check box and conditional script to that particular job in order to schedule it. Once it was done we can add the scripts as per requirements. The script runs based on the condition mentioned in the script.

Scheduled jobs performs any work that must be done on a specific time or on a recurring basis. This module links to the Schedule(sys_trigger) table. Manipulation of Schedule table is not recommended. The scheduled jobs module in system is an admin- friendly front end for scheduling work.
Schedule jobs are extremely useful to automate the process in servicenow which lift some of the administrative burden to the servienow admin It a very simple and easy to create a scheduled job or scheduled import. Basically no scripting or advanced configuration is involved at all . Just setting up a schedule is required to schedule. In some situations you need to execute a schedule job beyond the normal schedule. For this type of job scheduling you need to open a scheduled job entry and click on the EXECUTE button. But in some cases there is a need to automate the process based on trigger in a work flow or change state in some ticket.
Admins can modify the script by adding your scheduled job name and quering the desired table for your scheduled job . you must query one of the extensions below
'scheduled_import_set'(Scheduled import Sets)
'sysauto_script'(Scheduled Script Execution)
'sysauto_report'(Scheduled Report)
Scheduling at the end of the month: We need to take care while handling this kind of scheduling. Scheduling on 29th or 30th is not recommended because some months may not have those many days. If the event is scheduled for 31st , it will be executed it will be executed on the last day of the month even if the month is shorter.
Scheduled jobs from Scripts : This new script object calls apply to the Calgary and further more. For release prior to the Calgary packaged needs to be substituted. Packages were not valid with the Calgary release.
Running scheduled jobs imported from another instance: To prevent the unexpected data changes system does not automatically create Schedule item records for Scheduled jobs which is imported from the another instance
These reports are distributed via email. Scheduled reports created by an individual whose user account is deactivated may not display any data. To ensure the desired data displayed an active user must recreate a scheduled report. Scheduling and pivot table reports for reports for email submissions using the publish options . Publish options creates a URL for the report and display the address above the report form. You can create an email notification with this URL and send the link to the people who wish/ need to see the report.
There are many advantages of scheduled jobs. Some of them were discussed below
Recommended Audience :

Strength Training Program
Strength Training Program
Article Summary:
Building used to run as one with picking up a lot of fat, yet things change.
Determine you have an exceptional quality establishment before attempting extraordinary preparing methods.
Make sure to give your physique enough rest and supplements to recoup fittingly.
The winter months, for the greater part of us, is the time of year to focus on picking up mass and quality, perhaps raising a feeble form part or two. Notwithstanding isn't the opportunity to stress over 6-pack abs.
Not that you need to get fat—this isn't a "building up" system in the universal sense—yet your preparation ought to be all the more about utilizing overwhelming weights and including size, not about getting shelter look exceptional on the shore. Discussing building up ... I recollect when I got into iron pumping in 1980.
I really got into it through a companion who had requested an "Universal working out" course via the post office. The fundamental reason was to drive encourage yourself, pork up and afterward eating regimen down to an, "etched, incline body." This is really the definitive methodology to building, despite the fact that now the term is all the more generally used to depict a lean mass system like the one in this article.
A huge a piece of this normal is to go into it because of unequivocal quality objectives. You ought to be looking to build your quality establishment on the enormous 3—squats, seat press, deadlifts—and on one fundamental activity for every remaining figure part. The other thing we'll do on this normal is could be some higher rep sets to hit diverse muscle filaments for additional finish advancement.
Shifting Your Rep Ranges Will Allow You To Hit Every Type Of Muscle Fiber.
Shifting Your Rep Ranges Will Allow
You To Hit Every Type Of Muscle Fiber.
Part Program Ideas:
- Day 1: Chest/back/abs
- Day 2: Off
- Day 3: Off
- Day 4: Legs/abs
- Day 5: Deltoids/arms/abs
- Day 6: Off
- Day 7: Off
I get a kick out of the chance to have 1-2 days off between to protect complete recuperation, yet putting more diminutive form parts after leg day bodes well from a recuperation stance than finishing two enormous figure parts over to back. Additionally, I like joining midsection and once again on that day, and biceps/triceps on that day, something I don't normally do.
You must make sure your easier back has recouped from deads in time for leg day, in any case, as substantial squats additionally take there toll on your more level back.
An alternate Option With This Routine:
- Day 1: Chest/back/abs
- Day 2: Off
- Day 3: Legs/abs
- Day 4: Off
- Day 5: Deltoids/arms/abs
- Day 6: Off
- Day 7: Off
obviously, the way to advancement in a mass project like this is to utilize compound, or fundamental, activities like squats, deadlifts, seat presses, and so forth and to add weight to the bar each 1-2 workouts. Too, and as I said prior, working distinctive rep extents ought not be disregarded as this accelerates complete advancement on the grounds that you are working diverse muscle filaments.
I know there appears to be another prepare of felt that recommends quality additions don't equivalent out to size increases, that it bodes well for concentrate on enlarging your sets, for example, by utilizing drop sets, for instance - I'm not persuaded of this contention, then again.
I feel that you may as well strive for an establishment of quality, and once you start to level out, uphold that establishment and proceed onward to power strategies to advertise proceeded advancement.
Workout 1: Chest/back/abs:
Bench Press
3 warm-up sets at 50-60% of your 1rm
5 working sets, 5 reps each one set
Your first working set ought to be your heaviest; keep each one set as substantial as you can for the obliged number of reps. I know most systems have you work up through huge amounts of sets to at last get to what should be your chunky at the close, this bodes well for me whatsoever.
Once you've warmed up, it bodes well for do your pudgy first and foremost, when you're new and solid, then work down in weight as you have to because of exhaustion. You'll be stronger along these lines than you might be whether you do various substantial sets hinting at your.
Incline Flyes
3 sets, 10-12 reps
3 warm-up sets as follows:
50% of your 1rm for 15 reps
60% of your 1rm for 12 reps
70% of your 1rm for 10 reps.
3 working sets, 6 reps each set.
If your grip gives out, rest pause your way to 6 reps.
Low Cable Rows
3 working sets, 6-8 reps for the first set, 10-12 for the next two
Lat Pulldowns
3 working sets, 6-8 reps for the first set, 10-12 for the next two
Ab Crunches
3 sets, 30 reps
On bench presses and deadlifts, add weight to the bar every 1-2 workouts, even if it's 5 lbs.
Performance Tips: On bench presses, lower the weight slowly and explode up. Do your reps in non-lockout style, in other words, keep the reps going. On deadlifts, start the pull with your lats.
If you find from the floor deads hit your legs too much, do rack deadlifts in a power rack with the pins set just under knee height - we want to work the back, not the legs with this exercise. On cable rows and pull-downs, always start the pull with your lats - think of your arms as hooks.
Workout 2: Legs/Abs:
3 warm-up sets, set up the same as deadlifts.
5 working sets, 5-6 reps per set, make your first set your heaviest.
Hack squats with leg extensions-3 supersets of 10 reps each exercise.
Every two weeks, replace this superset with 4 sets of leg extensions, 10 reps each set with a "static hold" at the end of each set - the static hold is done by holding the weight in the fully extended position for a 10 count. Do this exercise for two weeks then switch back.
Leg Curls
3 sets, 8-10 reps
Calf Raises
3 sets done with 10 seconds rest between sets, 25 reps per set
Ab Crunch
3 sets, 25 reps
Workout 3: Deltoids, Arms, Abs:
Overhead Press
3 warm-up sets, 50% 1rm - 12 reps per set
3 working sets, 6 reps per set
Side/rear laterals
3 sets, 10 reps per set done in superset style
Every two weeks replace this exercise with wide grip upright rows-3 sets of 8 - 10 reps. In terms of the range of motion, think of this exercise as more of a wide grip shrug than an upright row. A wide grip limits the range of motion and will hit the side and rear deltoid head and to a lesser extent, the traps.
Do this exercise when you're doing the laterals.
3 sets of 6-8 reps. Go heavy on this exercise.
Lying EZ extensions (skull crushers)/pullover/close grip press
3 sets of 5 reps per segment.
This is all done as one exercise, done as a triset.
First workout:
EZ curls superset with cable curls
3 sets of 8 reps each exercise
Next workout:
Preacher curls superset with hammer curls
3 sets of 8 reps each exercise
On your 3rd workout:
EZ curls 8 reps superset with high cable curls 10-12 reps
3 sets
On the high cable curls, hold the weight in the contracted position for a 3 count at the end of each rep. High cable curls are often done lying on a bench, I do them exactly the same way except I stand facing the machine.
So you are alternating three different biceps workouts over three weeks.
Add weight to the overhead press, EZ ext/pullover/press and EZ curls every 2-3 workouts.
Performance Tips: when doing the pull-over part of the EZ ext/pullover/press, keep the bar close to your head and pull with your triceps, not your lats.
I would stay with the basic foundation of this routine - increasing strength on basic exercises - for several months, or until you reach your strength goals but to increase variety, I would change the other exercises every 3-4 weeks or as in the cases where I've indicated in the routine, every couple of weeks.
Recovery & Nutrition
All of my workouts are designed to maximize recovery - hitting each muscle once a week, putting 1-2 days in between workouts (except for my current routine, where I have to put 2 days back to back), and limiting the number of sets.
I allow much more total recovery time than many of the currently popular routines. Most bodybuilders overtrain and undereat - no wonder they don't grow. Muscles need a certain amount of time to recover before you train them again, and your nervous system needs time.
Typically, 5 days of rest before training the same body part again is a good rule of thumb. Along with this is the fact that individual recovery is based individual circumstances - age, schedule, type of job, training experience, steroids or natural.
How Many Days Do You Typically Rest Between Training The Same Body Part?
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Days Or More.
One of the most misunderstood aspects of training is the fact that you grow in between workouts when you are recovering, not because of how many workouts you do. Read that last sentence about 500 times. In the 26 years I've been in bodybuilding, I still see far too many people that do not understand that simple concept.
How recovered you are should determine when you should train. Different muscles recover at different rates than others, and any time you train two or more days in a row, you may be "resting" certain muscles while you train others but you are taxing your entire system, putting a drain on total recovery.
There are two ways to tell if you have recovered:
If the body part you last trained is still sore on your next scheduled training day for that body part, you have not recovered.
If you are unusually tired in the morning on any scheduled training day, and you haven't changed anything in your approach, you're probably in an overtrained state - you aren't allowing enough time for recovery.
Of course, steroid users play by a whole different set of rules - you'll want to train each muscle probably in as little as every 3rd day, and you can handle more sets.
Recovery is also a matter of good nutrition/supplementation: post workout shakes, a diet high in protein - 1 to 1 1/2 grams per pound of body weight, carb consumption should be mostly complex, except the simple carbs surrounding your workout, and should be 1 1/2 to 2 grams per pound of body weight.
Eating enough carbs fuels you up for your workouts. Fat usually takes care of itself, but you want to avoid high fat foods. If you have any concerns about not eating enough good fat, take some fish oil caps or omega 3-6-9 caps. If size and strength is your goal, don't be afraid to eat good quality food and shakes - don't under eat.
Have a meal or shake every 2-3 hours. Using a diet journal - tracking your calories, macro-nutrient breakdown and time of meal - is a good idea. I assume everyone uses a training journal so I won't detail that here.
Give this routine at least 8-12 weeks, longer depending on your strength goals.
Good luck and thanks for reading.

Impacts on people under age 65
The Affordable Care Act (aka ACA or ObamaCare) focuses primarily on people under age 65. While not perfect, it's the law, improving access to health insurance, striving to reduce health care costs. It's survived barrages of misinformation from those who'd benefit from its demise politically and financially. Implemented slowly since 2010, it's about to go into full gear in 2014.
* Lottery Winners? Not exactly, but if you qualify for coverage you could neither afford nor get due to pre-existing conditions, or no longer risk foreclosure or bankruptcy, you may well feel like a winner. Sharing community benefits like roads and schools makes us stronger, costs less, and is our common right.
* Grandfathered plans. If you have Medicare, Medicaid, VA, or a large employer group plan, you don't have to shop the exchange, because your plans meet ACA's exemptions. Folks may keep individual or group health insurance in force since 3/23/2010 meeting ACA's requirements, or they may shop the exchange marketplace. Check with exchange certified insurance agents, or your employer for details.
* Subsidies & Tax Credits. Plan enrollments start October 1st - December 15th through certified agents, or directly around November 1st. You must provide financial and household information to see if you're eligible for premium tax credits or direct subsidies via the exchange. Graded subsidies are available to people with incomes up to 400% of FPL Federal Poverty Level or about $46,000 for individuals, or $94,000 for families of 4; people with incomes to 138% of FPL, a little less than $16,000/person, can get ObamaCare premium subsidies or directly qualify for OHP, (Oregon Health Plan) or CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Plan). Participants may get tax credits advanced monthly to pay insurance premiums through the exchange.
* Shopping on the Exchange. Residents may shop online or in person, see what's available, based on age, income & location. There are over 218 choices you can get advise on from volunteers, or certified insurance agents at no cost to you. Low income folks qualify for expanded Medicaid or reopened OHP plans, through ObamaCare. Affordable dental, vision plans are available.
* Important Dates. Open Enrollment (OE) for the Insurance Exchange runs from 10/1/13 - 12/15/13; plans start1/1/2014. Extended OE runs from 12/15/13 - 3/31/14; coverage starts the following month. People who miss these OE periods will have to wait until next year to enroll, unless they qualify for exceptions like moving out of the area.
* Penalties/Fees/Benefits. All plans must cover "essential health benefits" (eg, doctor/hospital services, labs, Rx, emergency room, mental health, maternity, wellness). If your insurance meets ObamaCare's "Essential Benefits" & requirements (OHP, CHIP, Medicare, VA/TriCare, many grandfathered plans) they're exempted from penalties, as are low income folks, and Indian tribes. Those who can afford plans but don't get them are subject to penalties/fees from 1% of income or $95/person (half/child) in 2014, rising to 2.5% of income or $695/person in 2016, whichever is higher, indexed thereafter. Additionally they must still cover 100% of their healthcare costs.
* Existing Benefits. ObamaCare already covers children 19 & younger; young adults may stay on their parent's plans until age 26. Preventive care like checkups, cancer, diabetes, colon, prostate, other screenings, mammograms, and contraceptions are free. Insurers may not deny coverage due to health conditions, pregnancy or disabilities, nor cancel plans retroactively.
* Plan Options. The richer the benefits (Coinsurance/OfficeCopays/Deductibles/Out of Pocket limits), the higher the premium. There's Standard Bronze 60%/$60/$5000/$6350; Silver 70%/$35/$2500/$6350; Gold 80%/$20/$1300/$6350; Platinum 90%/$10/$100/$1000, plus several other options of benefits/premium per group. Also available are catastrophic plans for those under age 30; plus plans for individuals, small groups (2-49), and Large groups (50+) with various options, deductibles, and co-pays. Plans allow you to keep your doctors if they're in their network. Shopping the exchange shows you plan options, and determines eligibility for subsidies.
on Seniors
The controversial Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) has survived many attempts to repeal it and endured masses of misinformation from those who'd benefit from its demise, financially or politically. But it's the law, having passed both Congress and the Supreme Court. While not perfect, it'll improve health care access (but does not give full universal coverage at much lower costs, as would say Medicare for all). So, let's look at its impacts on seniors aged 65+, since most have focused on impacts for those under age 65 instead.
* Preventive Services. ACA increases use of preventive services, lowering health costs for all, with no copays to seniors. Included are annual wellness exams, heart, colon, prostate, mammography, diabetes, bone density, other screenings. Also covered are smoking cessation, alcohol misuse counseling, vaccinations. Additional diagnostic tests or treatments are subject to insurance copays.
* Closing the Medicare Part D Rx gap or "Donut hole". From 2010-2020, ACA's reducing the amount seniors on Part D Medicare pay for prescriptions once they get in the gap. 6.6 million folks on Medicare have already saved over $7 billion via ACA. They're now paying 47.5% of the plan's gap costs for brand names and 78% of generic Rx costs in 2013, reducing to virtually nothing in 2020.* Extending Medicare Solvency. ObamaCare extends Medicare Solvency from 2016 to 2024. The term "solvency" means when Medicare will start to spend more money than it takes in. It does not mean the program would end then. ACA already raises Part A taxes on wages by 0.9% on earnings over $200,000 for individuals & $250,000 for couples; it also raises a 3.8% tax on non-wage income ie, dividends, interest, rents etc. Removing the cap on Medicare taxes for wages over $113,700, would extend Medicare solvency for 75 years.
reduces Medicare spending growth from 6.8% now, to 5.5% annually, per
the Kaiser Family Foundation, resulting in $716 Billion in savings.
This will not reduce benefits to seniors as misstated by some, but
via over payments to hospitals, reducing hospital payments for seeing
uninsureds, lower payments to medical equipment & home care,
reducing subsidies to Medicare Advantage plans, the rest savings from
waste, fraud & abuse.
* Reducing Medicare Advantage plan subsidies. "Advantage" plans (HMOs, PPOs etc) get around 14% federal subsidies that traditional Medicare Supplement plans do not. Yet they've not been very successful in driving down health costs; subsidies have averaged over $1100 annually for each member. ACA is supposed to cut subsidies to advantage plan but lobbyists & allies successfully delayed this for 2014. These plans threaten to privatize Medicare, costing seniors many more $billions for their health care later.
* ObamaCare includes the Elder Justice provisions requiring more disclosure from nursing homes, also making comparisons between them available for seniors and their families. There is also funding available for medical students to help fill future medical provider shortages.
Oregon Birthday Rule (non-ACA law). The ACA eliminates pre-existing health conditions and underwriting questions only for those under age 65. Starting in 2013, Oregon Insurance Department rules allow Oregonians on Medicare supplements to switch to the same or lesser plan without any health questions within 30 days of their birthday, to save premium. Medicare supplements with health questions are still available year round.
ObamaCare/ACA brings a number of changes to help seniors improve health coverage and lower health care costs. Check with health insurance agents, SHIBA volunteers, navigators from Cover Oregon, accountants, CMS Medicare, other sources for details and information. Despite the misinformation, ObamaCare is what we have now, to make the best of.

With a large list of lawyer-drafted contracts we have broken them down into categories, whatever your need or niche, we have you covered.
We've made finding your contracts easier than ever. Simply pick your needs from the topics below.
Good contracts at a good price! I purchased these last week and modified them slightly to fit my needs. I asked my local attorney to review them, making sure that the contracts as well as my modifications are legal in my state. During the discussion my attorney informed me that it would have cost me a lot more had I hired him to write a similar contract from scratch.
This is the only source that I recommend for photography contract templates.

We all know that we should be drinking half of our body weight in ounces of water each day to stay hydrated for our health, but man, after that third or fourth glass it can get really boring, right?
So many of us have turned to seltzer water to spice things up, plus, with so many options in flavors these days in addition to zero calories, sugar and sodium, it seems like a very healthy choice, but is it?
Well, there is no doubt that seltzer is absolutely healthier for you than those sugar-packed or chemically-enhanced sodas, but new reports are shedding light on something to be aware of if you're drinking the bubbly everyday.
It turns out drinking a large amount of seltzer over time could cause tooth erosion. Of course, choosing seltzer over soda is always better especially because it's sugar-free, but it's important to be aware of the carbonic acid contained in the bubbly drink that can gradually wear away your tooth enamel.
Another potential issue with drinking seltzer too often is the negative impact it can have on our stomachs and bones. Seltzer can cause serious bloating, gas and acid reflux if consumed too often or with already-gassy foods. Seltzer can also potentially lower calcium levels in your bones, but again this is if you're drinking it everyday.
So the moral of the story here is always choose seltzer over soda, but as with everything in life, be aware and keep it in moderation because nothing in excess is truly good for us.

lIt is the clearest signal yet that the haemorrhaging of local retailers - first highlighted by the Standard's Save Our Small Shops campaign - is being given top priority at the highest level of politics.
The commission will be chaired by Northampton South MP Brian Binley and includes former trade minister John Redwood and Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans, whose family run a newsagents in South Wales.
Non-political members include James Lowman, chief executive of the Association of Convenience Stores, and Lincolnshire Assistant Chief Constable Peter Davies. Mark Prisk, shadow business and enterprise minister, told the Standard: "David Cameron feels the vitality of town centres is crucial and has enormous social benefits.
"The work the Evening Standard has done has been really helpful in shaping policymakers' ideas.
"We should not be looking at this in the old way but with a new approach to politics that looks at issues in the round."
The investigation will be organised into five categories: planning, crime, retail competition from supermarkets and other chains, parking and transport, and local taxes and rents.
Mr Prisk said: "The intention is to identify the practical things that can be done to help. We need to find out how we can help them [small shops] to compete more successfully.
"Part of the problem is that government policy exists in silos. So, for example, the licensed trade doesn't come under the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, it comes under the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. But it still affects small shops."
Mr Binley said: "We don't want to turn the clock back but we do want to restore town centres as the social hubs they used to be. In my town centre of Northampton there is only one independent retailer left.
"A lot of town centres have become no-go areas because of binge drinkers. We are now in a situation where it is impossible to start a small business in town centres because of the cost."
In a few days the Competition Commission is due to publish its findings into whether supermarkets are unfairly driving smaller rivals out of business. The Government has said it will make its judgment on the plight of small shops after this.
The Standard's campaign was launched in March last year in response to growing concern about the accelerating loss of small, independently owned shops because of rising rents, rates, competition from supermarkets, rigid council parking policies and red tape
