THE WHITE HOUSE    11.4 million Americans, and counting Earlier today, Sylvia Burwell, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, briefed the President about the end of this year's Open Enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act. She told him that 11.4 million Americans have signed up or re-enrolled for quality, affordable health insurance. That's right. 11.4 million. And more people newly signed up on Sunday than on any other day before. "It gives you some sense of how hungry people were out there for affordable, accessible health insurance," the President said. "And that's really the top-line message: The Affordable Care Act is working." See what else the President said about today's enrollment numbers -- and make sure to pass this video on.

THE WHITE HOUSE    Here's what the President sent Congress yesterday: Yesterday, President Obama transmitted to Congress a proposed authorization for the use of military force, or AUMF, against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIL. ISIL poses a threat to U.S. national security, which is why U.S. armed forces are already working with some 60 other nations and partners to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL. The President has said that we are strongest as a nation when the President and Congress work together, and enacting a bipartisan AUMF against ISIL would provide a clear and powerful signal that the United States stands united behind the efforts to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL. Take a look at the text of the letter he sent to Congress, below. Then learn more about exactly what an authorization of military force means for us. TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) poses a threat to the people and stability of Iraq, Syria, and the broader Middle East, and to U.S. national security. It threatens American personnel and facilities located in the region and is responsible for the deaths of U.S. citizens James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Abdul-Rahman Peter Kassig, and Kayla Mueller. If left unchecked, ISIL will pose a threat beyond the Middle East, including to the United States homeland. I have directed a comprehensive and sustained strategy to degrade and defeat ISIL. As part of this strategy, U.S. military forces are conducting a systematic campaign of airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria. Although existing statutes provide me with the authority I need to take these actions, I have repeatedly expressed my commitment to working with the Congress to pass a bipartisan authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) against ISIL. Consistent with this commitment, I am submitting a draft AUMF that would authorize the continued use of military force to degrade and defeat ISIL. My Administration's draft AUMF would not authorize long-term, large-scale ground combat operations like those our Nation conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan. Local forces, rather than U.S. military forces, should be deployed to conduct such operations. The authorization I propose would provide the flexibility to conduct ground combat operations in other, more limited circumstances, such as rescue operations involving U.S. or coalition personnel or the use of special operations forces to take military action against ISIL leadership. It would also authorize the use of U.S. forces in situations where ground combat operations are not expected or intended, such as intelligence collection and sharing, missions to enable kinetic strikes, or the provision of operational planning and other forms of advice and assistance to partner forces. Although my proposed AUMF does not address the 2001 AUMF, I remain committed to working with the Congress and the American people to refine, and ultimately repeal, the 2001 AUMF. Enacting an AUMF that is specific to the threat posed by ISIL could serve as a model for how we can work together to tailor the authorities granted by the 2001 AUMF. I can think of no better way for the Congress to join me in supporting our Nation's security than by enacting this legislation, which would show the world we are united in our resolve to counter the threat posed by ISIL.

Salmo 30

EXALTAR-TE-EI, ó SENHOR, porque tu me exaltaste; e não fizeste com que meus inimigos se alegrassem sobre mim.

SENHOR meu Deus, clamei a ti, e tu me saraste.

SENHOR, fizeste subir a minha alma da sepultura; conservaste-me a vida para que não descesse ao abismo.

Cantai ao SENHOR, vós que sois seus santos, e celebrai a memória da sua santidade.

Porque a sua ira dura só um momento; no seu favor está a vida. O choro pode durar uma noite, mas a alegria vem pela manhã.

Eu dizia na minha prosperidade: Não vacilarei jamais.

Tu, SENHOR, pelo teu favor fizeste forte a minha montanha; tu encobriste o teu rosto, e fiquei perturbado.

A ti, SENHOR, clamei, e ao SENHOR supliquei.

Que proveito há no meu sangue, quando desço à cova? Porventura te louvará o pó? Anunciará ele a tua verdade?

Ouve, SENHOR, e tem piedade de mim, SENHOR; sê o meu auxílio.

Tornaste o meu pranto em folguedo; desataste o meu pano de saco, e me cingiste de alegria,

 

Para que a minha glória a ti cante louvores, e não se cale. SENHOR, meu Deus, eu te louvarei para sempre.

Sabedoria Cristã: Servir a Deus é: fechar o olho na terra, abrir o olho no céu [Pb Fábio Julio]

Thursday, February 12, 2015 How to Enter the Brazilian Consumer Market: Challenges and Opportunities  Brazil, Latin America’s largest consumer market, is young and dynamic. Despite the current economic slowdown, its consumer market was worth $1.4 trillion in 2013, and the country’s 200+ million population is predominately young, with people aged 15-34 accounting for 44.6% of the population. The concentration of income among the younger population means that Brazil has a dynamic market with great opportunities for brands to build up consumer loyalty (Euromonitor International). Our panel of experts will discuss best-in-class experience in engaging the dynamic Brazilian consumer market.

NEW YORK CITY - AUG. 19th - 20th I was pounding my head trying to figure out what to say in this newsletter and couldn't come up with anything.  All I really have to say is this is our 9th year doing the NBCU Short Film Festival (formally Short Cuts Festival).  Number 9 is a big deal; it takes 9 months to have a baby, there are 9 innings in baseball, cats have 9lives (not sure how true that is), there are 9 planets (well before they denounced Pluto as one), etc. As odd as that number is, it's still is progress, it's powerful, & it's stronger than 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1. Hell, a decade wouldn't be nothing if 9 didn't come first!  This is 9 years of great short films by some of the most talented people you probably never heard of.  Once again this year NBCU Short Film Festival expands 2 days of shorts films! Come join us for our 9th Annual NBCU Short Film Festival hosted by A.J. Calloway (EXTRA).  This will be at the School Of Visual Arts for FREE but you have to RSVP RSVP to diversity@nbcuni.com             DAY 1 TUESDAY AUG. 19, 2014 NBCU Short Film Festival Semi-Finals Screening Hosted by A.J.
