180 SECRET - PROSPERITY COMES DURING TRIBULATION!

TEAM 180:

Is the Lord with you today?

"And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man..."
Genesis 39:2

Does this mean that God isn't with us if we are not Prosperous?

Joseph was a person that went through many trials and tribulations. His brothers disowned him. He was sold as a slave. He was seduced and accused of rape. He was thrown in jail....
PROSPERITY COMES DURING TRIBULATION!

Was God with him in those horrible moments of his life?

Yes, God was with Joseph all the way! In fact I would argue that the "Horrible Times" were the most Prosperous times for Joseph.

Friends, the Word tells us that God will never leave us or forsake us. God uses Trials and Tribulations in our lives to make us Stronger for the Future.

PROSPERITY COMES DURING TRIBULATION!

These Strengthening Times are the most Prosperous times!

"And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man..."
Genesis 39:2

PROSPERITY COMES DURING TRIBULATION!

What did God have in mind when He made the Seasons?

Today my Beautiful Wife full of Grace, Wisdom and Truth Reminded me that today she was planning and setting out some Fall Items as the weather is changing.

A NEW SEASON - ETERNITY STARTS NOW!

All of us go through Seasons:

"Everything has its own time, and there is a specific time for every activity under heaven." Ecc 3:1

A NEW SEASON - ETERNITY STARTS NOW!

Friends, sometimes we just don't know why we go through Seasons of Change and Circumstances.

We do know that God has our back in all of our Seasons. Seasons come and Seasons go.
One thing we can count on in Seasons of Change is that God will Never Change.
Hebrews 13:8

A NEW SEASON - ETERNITY STARTS NOW!

God is the only Constant in the Universe! Everything else changes.

It is good news when we come to the end of chapter or a Season.

A NEW SEASON - ETERNITY STARTS NOW!

When a Season of Doubt closes a Season of Opportunity opens.

"It is beautiful how God has done everything at the Right Time." He has put a sense of Eternity in our mind..." Ecc 3:11

ETERNITY STARTS NOW!

God never intended us to focus on this planet. Jesus even told us that Heaven and Earth will pass away. Then He said,

"MY WORDS WILL NEVER FAIL!"

Remember how his friends were marveling over the Temple and the magnificent structure? Remember how they saw the Gold and the incredible Rocks and Stones?

I bet Peter, James and John were talking about how they were going to take it over and Rule the World!

"Not so fast guys! This temple will be torn down in a few short years."

In 70 AD it happened as Titus the Ruler dismantled it piece by piece.

Seasons come and go! All of us will go through Seasons.

A NEW SEASON - ETERNITY STARTS NOW!

The friends of Jesus had 3 years of miracles and incredible foundation building in their lives.

Jesus was preparing them for a rough Season ahead that would end in death for all of them.

A NEW SEASON - ETERNITY STARTS NOW!

"There is a time to be Born and a time to Die...." Ecc 3:2

God never promised an easy road but He did Promise to be with us all the way in the good Seasons and the Challenging Seasons.

Jesus, also told them not to worry and that He was going to Prepare a Place for them in His Father's Mansion!

SEASONS COME AND GO BUT ETERNITY STARTS NOW!

Let's use this New Season to Focus on A New Beginning.

"ETERNITY STARTS NOW!"

180 SECRET - REMEMBER HIM!

Do you Remember how God placed people in your life at the right time and place to connect the dots?

Do you Remember the Circumstances surrounding the events that took place while you were living in the Wilderness during your Journey?

Maybe you are in the Wilderness right now?

180 SECRET - REMEMBER HIM!

"Remember who Led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water;

Remember who Brought Water for you out of the flinty rock;

Remember who Fed you in the Wilderness with manna... which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end..."

Friends, it doesn't matter if you have been through the Wilderness or are in the Wilderness the message is the same.

Have you ever written Jesus a Love Letter?

Enoch wrote Love letters to God every day!

"Enoch Walked with God and Enoch was not for God Raptured him." Genesis 5

180 SECRET - YOUR LOVE LETTER TO GOD

Keith Green Walked with God and wrote this Love Letter to The Lord before he was Raptured.

"Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
For when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me

Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
For when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me......

Oh Lord, please light the fire
That once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first love
That burns with holy fear.....

Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
For when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me."

Wow! What a Song! Keith Green had a way with music and words.

180 SECRET - YOUR LOVE LETTER TO GOD

When Keith Green wrote this song it was very late at night and early in the morning. He was stressed out and didn't know what to do about a certain situation.

After much thought and mindless roller coaster activity (like all of us have) he decided to sit back and write God a Love Note. He realized instead of saying,

"If it's to be be it's up to me." He said,

"IF IT'S TO BE IT'S UP TO HE!"

Keith Green was filled with God the Spirit as he wrote those words. The Word tells us even when we don't know what to say or how to say it God the Spirit steps in and takes over.

Keith Green was a Modern day Enoch. He Walked with God and God took him.

Friends, when was the last time you wrote a Love letter to God?

Maybe you are out of answers and are at the end of you? if so you are lucky! Your Problem just became His Opportunity!

180 SECRET - YOUR LOVE LETTER TO GOD

Maybe it is the darkest hour of the night for you?

180 SECRET: The Darkest Hour is right before the dawn of light. In other words greatness is about to happen during your darkest hour.

I encourage you to get out a pen and start to write a Love Note to Jesus. Follow the same pattern as the song above.

If you don't have a pen then open a txt and start to txt. Open a tweet and start to tweet. What ever you do normally do it to Him.

180 SECRET - YOUR LOVE LETTER TO GOD

It is one of the most Liberating, Exciting and Emotional things you can do as a human being. When you pour out your soul to God He will bless you beyond your wildest dreams.

"Every day you have to Laugh. Every day you have to be Passionate about something.
And every day you have to be moved with Emotion. Now that's a Full Day!"

ORLANDO, Fla - September 19, 2013 - API Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNY) ("API" or the "Company"), a trusted provider of RF/microwave, microelectronics, and security solutions for critical and high-reliability applications, today announced the availability of its new 5300 series of current sensors and transformers that measure a wide range of AC currents by transforming them accurately from high to low measurable values.

API's 5300 series current sensors feature a wide primary current range of 3.5 Amps to 800 Amps, and are available in several types of current transformers, including low phase/high accuracy and high frequency. Current transformers have a wide operating frequency range of 20 kHz-100 kHz and can be totally encapsulated, with or without wound primary turns and loading resistor. All current sensors and transformers are built to meet the relevant UL, ANSI, VDE, CE, and MIL standards. In addition, API also offers EMRL current transformers which were designed to comply with standards for electrical and electronic measuring test equipment.

"API's current sensors and transformers are commonly used in applications such as advanced fault tolerant computers and workstations, metering, protective relays, control panels reading current flowing to electric transformer, ampmeters, wattmeters and cross current compensation, as well as telecom and communications," said Renee Fletcher, Product Manager, Electromagnetic Integrated Solutions, API Technologies.

Current sensors detect electrical current in a wire and generate a signal proportional to it, which is then utilized to display the measured current, or stored for further analysis in a data acquisition system. Similarly, here current transformers are used to measure alternating electric currents. When current in a circuit is too high, a current transformer produces a reduced current that is accurately proportional, so it can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments.

"API Technologies also specializes in creating solutions that satisfy magnetic requirements for a variety of applications," added Fletcher. The API Magnetics group combines its Filtran and RTI Electronics brands with state-of-the-art technology and advanced engineering to produce a broad range of custom, application-specific magnetic devices."

As a key supplier to many of the world's leading OEMs in the military, aerospace, medical, telecom, transport, commercial/consumer and industrial lighting and industrial/test markets, API Technologies' Magnetics products address many of the industry's most stringent requirements, including many MIL, ANSI and ISO certifications, including MIL-PRF-27, MIL-STD-981, UL 60950-1, and UL 61010-1.

To learn more about the API Technologies' Magnetics product line, please visit eis.apitech.com, call +1 (888) 553-7531 or email sales@apitech.com.

Three of New Jersey's largest and most well-regarded health care systems - Atlantic, Hackensack and Meridian - are joining force with four Pennsylvania systems to create what they say will be the nation's largest health consortium: one with $10.5 billion in revenue and some 6 million customers.

An alliance, but not an outright merger, AllSpire Health Partners said it will "address quality, population health management, best practices and medical research in the Northeast."

The alliance is the latest move by health care systems to increase their scale and scope, with the ultimate aim of coordinated care that allows for higher quality and less waste. Such alliances were accelerated by the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which is driving hospitals to improve care both by cutting Medicare payments to hospitals with excessive patient readmissions, and by allowing hospitals and doctors to from accountable care organizations that share some of the money Medicare saves when health care delivery improves

In a statement, AllSpire said the seven systems and their 25 hospitals "will address quality, population health management, best practices and medical research in the Northeast region."

The New Jersey health systems will be joined by four Pennsylvania systems: Lancaster General Health, in Lancaster; Lehigh Valley Health Network, of Allentown; Reading Health System, in Reading; and York-based WellSpan Health.

"This is the first step in a new chapter that will propel us to transform health care delivery," said Karen Kessler, who chairs Atlantic and AllSpire boards, in a statement. "This consortium will produce seven cutting-edge health systems working in tandem, giving patients greater access to best-in-class health care services."

Joel Cantor, director of the Center for State Health Policy, said the alliance mirrors national trends driving consolidation - a trend that's "driven in part by provisions of the Affordable Care Act that are intended to improve care coordination and outcomes for patients."

But he also raised concerns about such alliances, saying hospital consolidation "brings risks for health care consumers."

"Larger hospital systems can wield greater negotiating leverage over reimbursement rates with health care insurers, ultimately driving up prices and costs," he said. "While it does not appear from their public announcement that Allspire has either the goal or corporate form needed to enter into price negotiations with payers, moving in that direction could happen in the future."

' A leadership role'

The alliance drew praise from Annette Catino, chief executive of QualCare, a managed health care company whose network of providers includes AllSpire's New Jersey hospitals.

She said she had conversations with alliance members during the planning stage, and said it's not the goal of the alliance to give the hospitals more leverage to negotiate higher prices from QualCare and other networks. Catino noted the AllSpire systems will remain legally independent.

"I am very excited about this," Catino said in an interview this morning. "I think these hospitals have taken a leadership role and set a new direction on what we really need to be focusing on, which is how to improve health care and attempt to create better value for the consumer. They will do this by taking the best practices from each hospital to share knowledge and improve health care in the region."

Catino said "this is not about getting bigger to negotiate prices. We are moving away from people focusing on the price of health care to an era of sharing best practices, and I am very encouraged by it."

What AllSpire is doing, she said, "is an admirable task - and it will be a lot of hard work. It is not easy to get everyone moving in the same direction."

Still, she said she expects "it will be a home run."

The new consortium will carry out joint activities in traditional areas of patient care services, research and education to enhance the value of health care that communities receive. In addition, it will address economies of scale, share best practices to improve health outcomes and identify opportunities in care delivery. It also will develop and participate in shared services in order to reduce costs.

The goal, AllSpire said, is to "leverage the combined intellectual assets of AllSpire Health Partners to elevate the quality of care, reduce the cost and move toward a regional population health focus."

Merger questions

Health care attorney Mark Manigan, of Brach Eichler, said though AllSpire is not a hospital merger, it raises the question of whether it might be a prelude to a merger of the systems, which would have to address potential federal antitrust concerns.

"The players are attempting to get to know each a little better from a corporate and clinical perspective - and that begs the question of what is the next step being contemplated," Manigan said.

Asked if a merger might face antitrust objections, Manigan said there are significant competing health care providers in the markets served by Hackensack, Atlantic and Meridian, which could defuse such problems.

"It is always a very complicated and interesting dance with the federal here government to obtain these approvals, but I don't think it's out of the question," he said.

Deep , publisher of Metro: Last Light released the third downloadable content (DLC), The Developer Pack for the FPS video game on Sept. 17, 2013 in North America.

The DLC was released on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and Steam, said the studio in a post on the game's official website. The post also said that the DLC will be inclusive of a survival horror-inspired solo mission, that is "designed to be one of the most intense, stressful" called "The Spider's Lair."

Player's mission is to escape the spider's lair, which is a forsaken Missile Silo with just lighter and compass initially. They will later be provided with a new Metro weapon, hand-pumped Flamethrower.

"The Spider's Lair is pure survival horror, Metro style - it dlc promotional code combines all of our limited resource mechanics to pile pressure on the player," the studio explained.

"You'll be frantically wiping gore from your cracked mask, and hunting for spare filters as your oxygen ticks relentlessly down. The flamethrower's fuel tank needs to be constantly cranked to maintain pressure, and you'll need your torch on full beam at all times..."

The Developer Pack will also have Shooting Range with a series of marksman challenges for players to check their skill, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Arena will allow enemies to be pitted against each other, like humans against mutants. This DLC will also allow players to have weapons of all configurations and players can test them out at the Shooting Range. There is also a "museum" that allows players to "get up close and personal to our mutants and key NPCs."

Players will also get a new weapon, which has not yet been found in the game. The weapon has an incredible back story to it and it will be revealed next week, said the studio.

Deep also revealed that its next DLC after The Developer Pack is Chronicles Pack, which will be "final DLC most closely resembles the Metro campaign experience as you take controls of Pavel, Anna, and Khan and Ulman as we tie up some unanswered questions away from Artyom's quest."

The game was released on on Sept. 18 in Europe for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Have you ever thought you were forgotten?

I remember being lost in the Super Market when I was a young boy. I thought my mother left without me.

180 SECRET - GOD REMEMBERS YOU AND PREPARES FOR YOU!

What a feeling of loneliness and separation it was. I remember walking the hallways desperately looking for my mother only to come up empty.

Sometimes we have seasons in our lives when we experience this don't we? This might be you right now!

180 SECRET - GOD REMEMBERS YOU AND PREPARES FOR YOU!

"But God Remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided."
Genesis 8:8

If God Remembered Noah does that mean He forgot Noah? No!

Just like my mom was busy shopping and preparing for the future of our family God was preparing for the future of Noah's family.
The Bible tells us that Christ will never leave us or forsake us!

180 SECRET - GOD REMEMBERS YOU AND PREPARES FOR YOU!

"Don't be sorrowful and depressed, you believe in my Father believe also in me. In my Father's House are many mansions and I go to Prepare a place for you."

"He not only Remembers us He Prepares for us!"

Live your life today knowing and Expecting God to Remember you and Prepare for you!

Have you ever been in a situation when someone said, "STOP THE CAR!"

Usually when this happens there is something so Amazing going on that you will drop everything agenda you have to witness this Amazing Moment in time.

Why? Because you may never see it again.

180 SECRET - STOP THE CAR!

When Thomas Edison's Film studio went up in flames he told his kids to run home and tell their mother. The kids said, "no dad she will be upset if she sees this!"

Thomas Edison said, "kids she will be more upset if she doesn't see this because she will never see a fire like this again in her lifetime!"

180 SECRET - STOP THE CAR!

That night Edison told everyone that this Problem turned into an Opportunity for a bigger and better Film Studio where everyone driving by will say, "STOP THE CAR! That is the place where Edison turned a disaster into an Huge Success!"

When we look at things the way Edison did SALVATION has come to our House!

Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." Luke 19:9

180 SECRET - STOP THE CAR!

This is what it was like for Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was a very insecure person and one of those people that was made fun of his entire life.

In other words did Jesus see Zach and say, "Stop The Car!"

Friends, whenever we are insecure or hurting for whatever reason Jesus tells His Angels,
"Stop The Car!" Why?

Because He cares about you and wants to have dinner with you. Jesus wants to help you get over whatever situation you are in by Encouraging you.

The next time you feel like you are all alone remember this story and know God cares for you and Stops His car for you.

180 SECRET - STOP THE CAR!

When was the last time you were down to your last ounce of hope?

180 SECRET - THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE!

What was the situation, place, time etc...?

Maybe you're in a situation right now with a loved one who has been sick for a long time and the Doctors have no answers.

180 SECRET - THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE!

Maybe you feel you have been unfairly treated because circumstances have got the best of you.

Instead of feeling down, depressed and bitter maybe it's time to use this situation as an Opportunity to Embrace our Creator.

180 SECRET - THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE!

God calls this a Sacrifice of Praise! What is a Sacrifice?

A Sacrifice in baseball is the willingness to bunt the ball and get thrown out to advance the runners on base to win the game.

This is a hard thing to do when you know you can hit a home run and be a hero but it must be done. Why? Because the coach told you to do it and he is the coach.

180 SECRET - THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE!

We must rely on the coach and respect his decision for the betterment of the Team.

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."
Psalm 42:11

180 SECRET - THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE!

Friends, The Battle here is within our Soul. Then the writer says, "Hope thou in God"

Why?

Remember, when all is said and done the only Hope we have is God. This is where God wants us to be.

180 SECRET - THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE!

Sometimes God brings us to a point where we have nothing. Is this a good thing?

This is not only a Good Thing it is a Great Thing! When all we have is Him then this is where He can begin to work in our life again.
When we come to the end of us we come to the beginning of Him!

180 SECRET - THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE!

Psalm 139 says God is the one who put us together in the first place. All we had then was Him. He fashioned us and formed us in our mothers womb. We had no control over the situation and we had to rely on Him.

Today is our New Beginning to Rely on Him again. Today is our moment of Opportunity to let Him put the pieces together again for a Great Future and a Great Hope in His Plan for our Lives.

Also, don't forget Jesus listened to His Coach and Sacrificed His Life for us so we could Win!

180 SECRET - THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE!

Just Go 180!

JPMorgan to stop making student loans: company memo

(Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) has decided to get out of the student loan business, after the biggest U.S. bank concluded that competition from federal government programs and increased scrutiny from regulators had limited its ability to expand the business.

JPMorgan, which already restricted student loans to existing Chase bank customers, will stop accepting applications for private student loans on October 12, at the end of the peak borrowing season for this school year, according to a memo from the company to colleges that was reviewed by Reuters on Thursday. Final loan disbursements are expected before March 15, 2014.

"We just don't see this as a market that we can significantly grow," said Thasunda Duckett, chief executive for auto and student loans at Chase, in an interview.

Not making more loans "puts us in a position to redeploy those resources, as well as focus on our No. 1 priority, which is getting the regulatory control environment strengthened," Duckett said.

JPMorgan's decision comes after Congress acted in mid-2010 to bypass the banks and have the government lend directly to students. The federal government now issues 93 percent of student loans. Banks and other private lenders have also come under pressure from regulators and politicians to offer more flexible repayment terms on student loans.

JPMorgan's portfolio has been shrinking by roughly $1 billion to $2 billion a year since then, and is a small fraction of its assets. The company's student loan portfolio at the end of June held $11 billion - less than 0.5 percent - of its $2.44 trillion of assets. Last year, Chase made education loans to 12,500 people for a total of about $200 million.

Hundreds of thousands of students, however, still look to private lenders when they have exhausted their federal borrowing limit. Richard Hunt, president of the Consumer Bankers Association, said decisions like JPMorgan's show that the government's direct lending policies are leading to "less competition in the marketplace."

He said the government programs encourage students to take on more debt than they can afford because the loans, unlike those made by banks, do not require assessments of the ability to repay.

But many experts have said that the primary problem with student lending lies in how much college costs and in the sheer size of the debt taken on, not in who makes the loans and how they are structured and how much they cost in interest.

Moreover, others may fill in the gap. Other major lenders that remain in the business include SLM Corp (SLM.O), known as Sallie Mae; Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N); and Discover Financial Services (DFS.N). Both Wells and Discover said on Thursday that they would continue to make student loans.

Danny Ray, president of Discover Student Loans, said although competition from the government has taken business from lending for graduate studies, his bank found more demand from undergraduate students who have already reached their government borrowing limits and are still short of the money they need.

Credit unions could also use exits by banks such as JPMorgan as an opportunity to do more business. Many entered the market in 2010 and have made about $2 billion of student loans since then, according to Paul Gentile, executive vice president of the Credit Union National Association.

JPMorgan's decision follows a broader, ongoing review of businesses amid new regulations, heightened scrutiny and capital requirements.

In July, the bank said it would exit physical commodities trading, as Wall Street's role in the trading of raw materials comes under political and regulatory pressure.

In June, the bank said its private equity unit, One Equity Partners, would become independent, as it increased its focus on client businesses. At the time, a source said the move was also driven by the bank's decision to simplify its operating structure.
