One of the reasons people buy a home laser hair removal device, is to remove unwanted hair from the face. One of the most popular home systems is the Remington laser hair removal unit. Check the facts about using Remington Laser hair removal for face below.
Is it safe and approved for removing hair from the face? Which parts of the face is it allowed to be used for and which are not approved? How about men facial hair? Who are the right candidates and how to do it safely. There are plenty of Remington models, which of them is approved for facial hair removal?
The term 'laser hair removal' has become so popular it is now a generic term for home hair reduction treatments with light emitting machines. The fact is that Remington iLight Ultra is an IPL (intense pulsed light) machine and not Laser.
The IPL is pulsing a flash of light (like a camera flash) while laser is beaming a focused beam (like a laser pointer). There are pros and cons for each, but while many refer to the Remington laser hair removal, they usually mean the Remington IPL hair removal device. Remington does not have a 'laser system' for home use.
It depends on the type of Remington model. The former ones where NOT approved to be used to remove facial hair. The new Remington 'laser' devices have been cleared by FDA for treatment over the face.
The Remington iLight Ultra 6500 is the newest and most advanced model face and body (for 2017). It was designed to be able to treat the face safely with a unique facial cap.
The iLight body and face is approved by FDA to be used to reduce hair from the face, only for women. Male facial hair growth is not the same as women's hair growth, no home device has approval to be used by men for reducing facial hair.
Check the video below to see Remington iLight IPL laser treatment demonstrated.
As you may have seen in the video, the areas which the Remington Ultra can be used are from the cheekbones and down. These areas include, the chin, the sideburns, the cheeks and the upper lip area.
You should not try and use the device for other places on your face. Especially not in areas which are close to the eyes like between the eyebrows or on the sides of the eyebrows. There is a real danger that the flashes would cause damage to your eyes! The intense flash pulsed can burn dark pigmented areas and cause permanent sight damage.
The Remington iLight Ultra Face & Body comes with two IPL treatment caps. One with a wide window for the body and one cap with a smaller treatment window for the face.
Use only the smaller facial cap when treating the face. It will help you cover only areas you intend to treat and not overlap areas which are not. The smaller cap helps a you keep better precision which is important for the face.
Another safety feature which will help you preform safer treatments is that the facial cap slows down the flashes – 3 Seconds (for Body Cap), 4 Seconds (for Facial Cap). Enough time to place the applicator window at the exact place and make sure it is not too close to the eyes.
Click here to see the latest reviews and rating for the Remington iLight Ultra system, with the facial cap and body cap.
The IPL and laser heat any dark matter they are pulsed upon. When the pulse is emitted over the dark pigmented hair, it heats it and disables it. You must be careful when doing a facial session to make sure not to pulse light over any darker skin areas.
The most common area people miss, is the lips. The lips have a darker color than the upper lip, this the intense light can heat the pigmented skin and zap it!
What you should do, is use the facial cap for going over the upper lip. Plus you should use a white pencil to color the lips and mask the lip before the treatment. Use the white pencil to cover any dark spot you may have (skin spots, freckles, moles, skin tag and tattoos).
Many people invest a little more and get dark laser protective glasses. You can never be too safe when it comes to the eyes.
Click here to get laser grade safety glasses from Amazon.
The IPL flashes will pulse only when the applicator window is firmly pressed to the skin. So all the intense light is projected toward the skin, and only side illumination sometimes glows on the side. So laser protective glasses are not necessary usually for IPL, though this flash can disturb and dazzle if you look directly into it. See below the side illumination with the body cap during the session (the facial cap is narrower so less light escapes).
You will have more success with the Remington laser hair removal for face, if your skin has a light color, and the hairs you target are dark. When the skin-hair contrast is like this, the light energy pulse targets the dark hair easily and zaps it.
If you have darker skin color, you can still use the device but more sessions may be required. Some of the light will be absorbed by the surrounding skin and less will reach the hair. Check the face skin by using the device skin tone sensor on the display panel.
Begin always with the low grade and then as you feel comfortable you can raise the energy level.

At least 60 residents of a luxury Houston apartment complex managed to get a COVID-19 vaccine - but Texas health officials say it's not an approved provider.

At least 60 residents of a luxury Houston apartment complex have been vaccinated against COVID-19, the general manager told the Daily Beast.
A spokesperson for Houston's Health Department, however, has said that the apartment complex is not a registered vaccine provider.
Texas Department of State Health Services' map of local providers does not include the Montebello complex. It primarily shows the locations of hospitals, pharmacies, and medical clinics.
Gov. Greg Abbott has warned that a "significant portion" of vaccines aren't reaching vulnerable Texans.
On Friday, Texas recorded a record number of coronavirus-related hospitalizations.

Related: What it's like to get the COVID-19 vaccine
At least 60 residents of the upscale Montebello complex in Houston have been vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the Daily Beast.
Montebello's general manager Daniel Hancock told the publication: "The state of Texas authorized it. We're working with a distributor... it's a blessing we are able to get it."
Hancock, however, did not specify the name of the distributor.
Local health officials do not believe that the state had approved the distribution effort to residents who live at the luxury housing project.
A spokesperson for Houston's Health Department told the Daily Beast: "All the distributors have to register through the state health department. The apartment complex is not an approved provider."
He continued: "If a site is not approved, not on the list, and receiving shipments of the vaccine, then our recommendation is not to go to that site."
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, Montebello is not on the registered list of COVID-19 vaccine suppliers.
The department's map, which lists approved locations, shows that the nearest vaccine provider to the apartment complex is a medical center 0.44 miles away. The majority of the locations listed are hospitals, medical clinics, and pharmacies - not residential buildings.
A 68-year-old resident of the complex, which described itself as "one of Houston's premier luxury highrises," told the Daily Beast that he had been vaccinated there.
The complex's manager said that the building was eligible for vaccines because it is home to many elderly residents.
While this apartment complex - where condos sell for over $3.5 million - managed to get access to shots, other vulnerable Texans have failed to be inoculated.
"I have not been able to find anyone who actually has the vaccine," a man who fulfills the criteria to get vaccinated told CBS DFW. Michael Calder, a Dallas resident, said that he called three providers to get a shot and was unsuccessful on all counts.
Pharmacists across the state have also reported running out of doses. "I had to turn away healthcare workers because we ran out," explained a Wylie pharmacist to the local broadcaster.
Texas officials have warned that vaccines may not be reaching the most vulnerable Texans.
On Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted that a "significant portion of vaccines across Texas might be sitting on hospital shelves as opposed to being given to vulnerable Texas."
—Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) December 29, 2020
Abbot then urged providers to "quickly provide all shots."
Dr. John Hellerstedt, a Texas health commissioner, also urged vaccine providers to move quickly.
In a message to the public, he wrote: "All providers that have received COVID-19 vaccine must immediately vaccinate healthcare workers, Texans over the age of 65, and people with medical conditions... no vaccine should be kept in reserve."
The state's vaccine drive comes at a time when Texas has a record number of hospitalizations for the coronavirus, according to the Texas Tribune.
The seven-day average positivity rate for COVID-19 tests has exceeded 20%, doubling the required 10% level to declare a "red flag" situation.
On Friday, 12,369 new cases were reported in Texas.
North Korea unveils 'world's strongest weapon' at military parade
Wearing a giant furry hat, black leather jacket and a beaming smile, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un introduced "the world's strongest weapon" – a new submarine-launched ballistic missile – at a nighttime parade on Thursday in Pyongyang. The display of North Korea's military might followed a rare congress of the ruling Workers' Party, during which leader Kim denounced the United States as his country's "foremost principal enemy" and vowed to strengthen the North's nuclear war deterrent. On Friday, the reclusive regime's state media released 100 photos of a mass celebration of the national armory, including tanks and rocket launchers, all flanked by rows of marching soldiers, noticeably not wearing masks. Military aircraft were illuminated by LED lights as they flew overhead in formation. "They'd like us to notice that they're getting more proficient with larger solid rocket boosters," tweeted Ankit Panda, a North Korea expert and author of 'Kim Jong Un and the Bomb', as the parade unfolded in Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung square. As the spectacle reached its climax, the military rolled out what analysts said appeared to be new variants of solid-fuel short-range ballistic missiles – which are more quickly deployed than liquid-fuelled versions - and four Pukguksong-class submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).
Nearly 60,000 have fled Central African Republic violence: U.N.
The number of people fleeing violence in the Central African Republic has doubled in just a week to nearly 60,000, the U.N. refugee agency said on Friday, as post-electoral violence intensifies. CAR's government has been battling rebel groups seeking to overturn a Dec. 27 vote in which President Faustin-Archange Touadera was declared victor despite fraud claims. "What's clear is the situation has...worsened," UNHCR spokesman Boris Cheshirkov told a U.N. briefing in Geneva.
Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) on Friday called for the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week to be "prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," saying those who participated in the unrest that left five dead were "terrorists attacking this country's constitutionally-mandated transfer of power." Sasse's comments come after the Department of Justice said in court documents that the rioters breached the Capitol with the intent to "capture and assassinate elected officials." In a memo requesting that "QAnon shaman" Jacob Anthony Chansley be kept in detention, Justice Department lawyers in Arizona wrote that "strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol" show that the intent was to harm elected officials. Sasse said it would be "wrong" of "rage-peddlers" to "try to whitewash the attack on the Capitol, saying that a few bad apples got out of control." "Every American needs to understand what the Department of Justice has just made public: Investigators have strong evidence to suggest that some of the rioters who stormed the United States Capitol planned to kidnap and possibly assassinate the Vice President," he said. "These men weren't drunks who got rowdy — they were terrorists attacking this country's constitutionally-mandated transfer of power," he added. "They failed, but they came dangerously close to starting a bloody constitutional crisis." He concluded: "They must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The FBI is investigating widespread calls for violence across the country and every American has an obligation to lower the temperature." Last week, before the House impeached President Trump for a second time on an "incitement of insurrection" charge, Sasse had vowed to consider any articles of impeachment against Trump that came before the Senate. "The House, if they come together and have a process, I will definitely consider whatever articles they might move," Sasse said in an interview with CBS. "I believe the president has disregarded his oath of office…what he did was wicked."
A strong, shallow earthquake shook Indonesia's Sulawesi island just after midnight Friday, toppling homes and buildings, triggering landslides and killing at least 42 people. In a video released by the National Disaster Mitigation Agency, a girl stuck in the wreckage of a house cried out for help and said she heard the sound of other family members also trapped. The rescuers said an excavator was needed to save the girl and others trapped in collapsed buildings.

Two U.S. military bases in South Korea shelter in place as coronavirus curbs extended nationwide
The U.S. Forces in Korea (USFK) said on Saturday it has imposed a shelter-in-place order on two of its largest bases - U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan and Camp Humphreys - until Tuesday after a cluster of coronavirus infections. Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, south of Seoul, is the largest U.S. military base overseas, housing the USFK headquarters and thousands of troops, civilian workers, and their family members. It was not immediately clear how many cases have been reported at the two bases, but the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said on Saturday a total of 18 people related to the U.S. base in Seoul tested positive this week so far.

Keywords Covenant; Jacob (Son of Lehi); Moroni (Son of Mormon); Reconciliation; Separation
Perhaps no theme in the Book of Mormon resonates so powerfully to modern readers as that of separation from and reconciliation with God. The sense of being cut off, isolated, or driven out is attested throughout the book. Similarly, messages from the Book of Mormon prophets of hope, reconciliation, and communion with God seek to alleviate the fears and depression that arise from loneliness or abandonment.
This theme is particularly evident in Jacob's great speech recorded in 2 Nephi 6–10 and the two "last" speeches from Moroni in Mormon 8 and Moroni 10. Jacob and Moroni both address separation from and reconciliation with God, providing a template for the reader to understand their own experiences. In particular, these prophets quote the words of Isaiah to teach how sacred covenants reconcile us to God.

"We Are Not Cut Off": Separation and Reconciliation through Sacred Covenants
Daniel L. Belnap
Daniel L. Belnap was a part-time instructor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University when this was published.
Separation in Jacob's Speech
Jacob's speech, recorded in 2 Nephi 6–10, can be divided into two sections, the first being the Isaiah chapters quoted in chapters 6–8, and the second being Jacob's commentary on the passages quoted. Though the record does not state when the speech was given or the specific circumstances leading to the speech, we do know that it was delivered in the land of Nephi, probably at the temple. More importantly, the reason for the speech is given both in 2 Nephi 9:1 and 10:22, where Jacob explains that he quoted the scriptures from Isaiah so his people "might know concerning the covenants of the Lord" (9:1) and how, through those covenants, "the Lord remembereth all them who have been broken off, wherefore he remembereth us also" (10:22). These two references suggest that the Nephites did not understand the covenant relationship with God. They likely believed that because they were "broken off," the covenant itself had been broken. This sense of being broken off from the covenant arises from their loss of land, as Jacob states: "We have been driven out of the land of our inheritance" (10:20).
The Nephite concern of being driven out of the lands of inheritance would have been understood to have covenantal implications as the promise of lands of inheritance are found in covenant between God and Abraham and later reestablished with Israel in Sinai. Beginning in Genesis 13:14–15, Abraham is promised "all the land which thou seest" (v. 15). This promise is then given to his descendants as well: "To thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever" (v. 15). The promise is reiterated in Genesis 15:18: "Unto thy seed have I given this land," and in Genesis 17:8: "And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land . . . for an everlasting possession." Thus, tied in to the promises of posterity and priesthood is the granting of lands of inheritance to Abraham and his seed. Generations later, when Israel was delivered from Egypt, God again reiterates these promises with those who were to enter the promised land (see Exodus 12:25; Deuteronomy 6:3; 19:8; 27:3; Joshua 23:5).
This promise of land was contingent on Israel's personal righteousness. On Mount Nebo, immediately prior to Israel's entering of the promised land, Moses warns the people of the curses that would be placed on Israel if they were disobedient. These curses conclude with God's warning that, if disobedient, Israel would "be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth" (Deuteronomy 28:25) and that "the Lord shall bring thee . . . unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known" (v. 36). Finally, the curse was directly connected to the Abrahamic covenant: "And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude. . . . And ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other. . . . And among these nations shalt thou find no ease. . . . And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again" (vv. 62–68). In these references, Israel's unrighteousness is the cause of their being forced out from the lands of inheritance. Thus, the loss of the promised land during the exile would be understood as being "cut off" from the covenant and Israel's relationship with God.[1] Yet being "cut off" had other implications as well. The term is also used elsewhere in the Old Testament to refer to death.[2] Indeed, being cut off from the land of inheritance would have been viewed as a form of dying.[3]
The Nephites, like their Israelite counterparts, were in exile from their homelands, having been driven out not once, but twice, first from Jerusalem and second from the land of first inheritance in the New World. Though Jacob's reference to the term cut off does not mean death, he does describe his people as a "lonesome and a solemn people, wanderers, cast out from Jerusalem, born in tribulation, in a wilderness, and hated of [theirs] brethren," and they "did mourn out [their] days" (Jacob 7:26).[4] Clearly, the Nephites felt abandoned, lost, and without a homeland. This passage describes a people who feel that they do not belong anywhere, that they do not have a place to provide identity or meaning. Being Israelites, the lack of a land to call their own would have been especially painful since their identity as God's chosen people specifically includes a promised land of inheritance. It would seem then that the loss of land led the Nephites to a sense of having a broken covenant relationship with God. Thus, they experience a sense of being lost, abandoned, and "cut off."[5]
Separation in Moroni's Initial "Last" Speech
This same sense of abandonment and separation can be found in the account of Moroni following the destruction of Nephite society. These feelings are recorded in Moroni's "last" speech delivered at the end of his father's record, chapters 8 and 9 of Mormon. Though these chapters are not, in fact, Moroni's last words, it appears that Moroni believed they would be such. In the first few verses of Mormon 8, Moroni writes: "The Nephites who had escaped into the country southward were hunted by the Lamanites, until they were all destroyed. And my father also was killed by them, and I even remain alone" (vv. 2–3). He reiterates this loneliness a few verses later: "I am alone. My father hath been slain in battle, and all my kinsfolk, and I have not friends nor whither to go" (v. 5). At this point, it is clear that Moroni is completely isolated having no one to turn to or to provide companionship. Verses 4 and 5 repeat that he does not know where to go.
Though the two clauses are identical, the contexts in which they are found differ. In verse 5, the clause is associated with the loss of his father, kin, and friends. In verse 4, the clause "whither I go it mattereth not" means that not only is there no place for Moroni to go but there is no reason to go anywhere. It no longer matters. This lack of caring for his well-being reveals the extent of his sense of loss.[6] In verse 7, he writes, "And behold, the Lamanites have hunted my people, the Nephites, down from city to city and from place to place, even until they are no more." It is hard to imagine an existence like this. Not only is Moroni lacking a home, but he is also hunted from place to place. Thus, there is no closure for Moroni. He cannot stay long enough to mourn for his dead, but instead he must constantly move to avoid capture. The added stress of having to always look over his shoulder in fear would have only heightened his sense of loneliness and abandonment.
Yet though his description of the loss of family and land is moving, the implication of being cut off from God is perhaps even more poignant. Mentioned twice in verses 3 and 5 are his statements that he does not know God's will.[7] Certainly this lack of knowledge does not come from his own personal unrighteousness, nor does it suggest that he has not asked God for support. Nevertheless, the fact that he has not received revelation suggests that his prayers have gone temporarily unanswered.
Significantly, throughout this speech Moroni feels it necessary to continually make mention of his own failings. For instance, in verse 12 he speaks of the imperfections that may exist in the record. In verse 17, he speaks again of the faults that may be in the record, but now relates them to his own faults: "And if there be faults they be the faults of a man." Finally in Mormon 9:31, these faults are made explicitly personal: "Condemn me not because of mine imperfection, neither my father, because his imperfection, neither them who have written before him; but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been."
This context sets the scene for the last two chapters. These are not happy messages; instead Moroni focuses on the negative consequences that he sees unfolding in latter days. Though he admits that he knows of the "great and marvelous things" that will happen, his words are filled with warning and condemnation. For instance, chapter 8 ends with the warning that the sword of vengeance hangs over our heads and is ready to fall. While the warnings and exhortations are true and should be heeded, they also demonstrate the sense of loss that Moroni is experiencing. Like his own people, Moroni warns a later covenant people that their actions will lead to their own sense of being cut off from God.[8]
Moroni's sense of being cast out also reveals itself in his words concerning the covenant. In 8:23, after stating that he has no room to write any Isaiah passages, he adds: "Yea, behold I say unto you, that those saints who have gone before me, who have possessed this land, shall cry, yea, even from the dust will they cry unto the Lord; and as the Lord liveth he will remember the covenant which he hath made with them."
While it is true that the Book of Mormon literally emerged from the dust, the association of broken covenants and death provides added meaning to this statement by Moroni. In chapter 9, verse 30, he repeats the concept for himself: "Behold, I speak unto you as though I spake from the dead." Though he is addressing an audience who will read these things after his death, it also affirms the sense found elsewhere that, having lost all, he is as being dead.
Finally, the entire speech ends with the plea: "May God the Father remember the covenant which he hath made with the house of Israel" (Mormon 9:31), suggesting that, for the time, the covenant is not in force because of unworthiness by the Nephites, with Moroni feeling all the effects of the broken covenant, being left utterly alone and bereft of purpose.
Reconciliation in Jacob's Speech
But all is not lost. As powerful as the theme of separation and abandonment may be in the Book of Mormon, even more powerful is the theme of reconciliation, that the sense of loss and of being cut off can be overcome. This is certainly the case in Jacob's speech as he sought to convey a sense of hope to those who felt cut off and forgotten by God. While acknowledging that the Nephites had been driven out, Jacob goes on to say: "Let us remember him, and lay aside our sins, and not hang down our heads, for we are not cast off" (2 Nephi 10:20). Jacob makes an important distinction here that is lacking in the Old Testament explanations of being cut off. Though the Nephites had been physically separated from their lands of inheritance, this did not necessarily mean that they were cast off from God.
This message is reinforced throughout the Isaiah passages quoted by Jacob. Using the imagery of God as warrior, Jacob emphasizes God's ability and character as Israel's deliverer. In 2 Nephi 6:17 we read, "For the Mighty God shall deliver his covenant people.[9] For thus saith the Lord: I will contend with them that contendeth with thee." In chapter 7, Isaiah states, "Yea, for thus saith the Lord: Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off forever? . . . And the Lord is near, and he justifieth me. . . . For the Lord God will help me" (vv. 1, 8–9). Chapter 8 is replete with promises of God's deliverance: including verse 12: "I am he; yea, I am he that comforteth you."
Jacob begins his own discourse in chapter 9 by stating that he offered the passages from Isaiah so that "ye might know concerning the covenants of the Lord that he has covenanted with all the house of Israel, . . . that they shall be restored to the true church and fold of God; when they shall be gathered home to the lands of their inheritance, and shall be established in all their lands of promise" (vv. 1–2). Thus, Jacob's message was one of hope and eventual return, that the covenants were still, somehow, in effect. As he states in verse 3: "My beloved brethren, I speak unto you these things that ye may rejoice, and lift up your heads forever." Central to his message is the role of Jesus as the Christ, the one anointed to deliver them. As pointed out, being cut off was associated with death; thus Jacob begins to emphasize the role of Christ as one who must be cut off from the Father in order to provide us with life: "For it behooveth the great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto man in the flesh, and die for all men . . . to fulfil the merciful plan of the great Creator" (vv. 5–6).
This understanding of Christ as our deliverer from death and abandonment is also found in Alma's words to the people of Gideon. Like Jacob, he speaks of Christ's ability to care for us: "And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions, and temptations of every kind. . . . And he will take upon him death" (Alma 7:11–12). Though we often ponder Christ's physical suffering and death, too often we forget His spiritual suffering, particularly on the cross. Though the physical pain was tremendous, it is his cry, "Eli, Eli lama sabachthani? My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" that demonstrates a completely different level of suffering. There, on the cross, Christ experienced something so unique and alien to Him that He cried out in anguish. For the first time in His mortality, Christ was forsaken by His Father—cut off from God. His cry suggests His surprise and shock at experiencing this ultimate abandonment.[10]
Back in Alma 7 we are told that Christ experienced these things, "that he may know . . . how to succor his people." The word succor means "to run to."[11] Thus, Christ experienced all things so He would know how to succor His people, or, in other words, know how to run to them and be able to get to them, no matter how lost, abandoned, or cut off they are. He performed the Atonement, both in the garden and on the cross, to gain the power and knowledge necessary to be able to succor. It is Christ's succoring that is Jacob's message of hope.
Moreover, as Jacob points out, the true land of inheritance promised in the covenants was not an earthly possession but a heavenly one, made possible through Christ: "Behold, the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of Israel, they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel, . . . they shall inherit the kingdom of God, which was prepared for them from the foundation of the world" (2 Nephi 9:18). This is reinforced at the end of his speech: "Wherefore, may God raise you from death . . . that ye may be received into the eternal kingdom of God" (2 Nephi 10:25). This is the true land of inheritance, not some earthly land that can be lost. Regardless of physical land, covenantal worthiness brings upon one the blessings of a place in the eternal kingdom of God. With this as his message, Jacob exhorts: "And now behold, the Lord remembereth all them who have been broken off, wherefore he remembereth us also. Therefore, cheer up your hearts" (2 Nephi 10:22–23).[12]
Reconciliation in Moroni's Final Words
Moroni's true last speech in Moroni 10 expresses a similar hope in the reconciliation with God made possible through Christ's Atonement. Mormon chapters 8–9 emphasize Moroni's loneliness and separation; his abandonment and forsaken state from his family, people, and God; and provides warnings for us about similar states based on unworthiness. Moroni 10, however, stresses the reconciliation made possible through Christ.
Not surprisingly, Moroni demonstrates this reconciliation through the writings of Isaiah. In fact, Moroni uses the same passage from Isaiah that Jacob ends with: "And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion" (Moroni 10:31). This is then followed by another passage from Isaiah: "And strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders forever" (v. 31). These two verses from Isaiah 52 and 54 refer to the eventual return of the tribes of Israel to their lands of inheritance and are used by both Christ and Jacob to emphasize that Israel is not cut off if her people will come unto Christ.[13] Importantly, both suggest that it is Israel who determines the outcome. It is Israel who, though driven out, can still stand up and strengthen her stakes. By doing these things, "the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled" (v.31), which is exactly what he pled for at the end of the earlier "last" speech.
In Moroni 10:32, he once again exhorts Israel to "come unto Christ, and be perfected in him." Like Jacob, Moroni points out that the true covenant is not necessarily about land possession but about coming to the Father: "And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, . . . then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father, . . . that ye may become holy" (v. 33). In fact, this is the context of the entire chapter: by seeking personal revelation one can be reconciled with God. Nothing has changed physically for Moroni since the events described in Mormon 8. He is still alone and wandering, but the sense of abandonment and loss is missing in this chapter. Instead of warning us of being cut off from God, he encourages us to come unto Christ. Instead of a sword of vengeance bringing judgment and separation, he looks forward to uniting with us before the "pleasing bar" of God (see Moroni 10:34).
"That They May Know"
While we are separated by the events described within the Book of Mormon by hundreds, even thousands of years, this does not mean that its writers do not speak to us. The Nephite concerns of abandonment, loss, and feeling cut off are not unique experiences but are too common emotions experienced today. As Moroni rightly points out, the sense of isolation and loneliness and of being cast out is characteristic of our time.[14] Whether through our own errors or the mistakes and sins of others, we will all experience the trials and tribulations of being cut off like the ancient Israelites. The Book of Mormon's message resonates within all of us when we too cry out to our Heavenly Father in times of need.
Yet the Book of Mormon's messages of hope and reconciliation are just as applicable as the negative experiences mentioned above. Through the words of the ancient prophets, we learn that it is our covenant relationship with God that allows us to have both communion with Him and an eternal inheritance. Though we may be experiencing isolation and loneliness, even being cast away from those we care about, we are not cut off—thanks to the covenants made possible through the Atonement of Christ. His power to succor us as demonstrated in the Book of Mormon means that we need never feel cut off or alone. Thus, the necessity of the Book of Mormon is revealed as it demonstrates the true power of our covenants and of the Atonement of Christ. Moroni's explanation of the purpose of the book, that we "may know the covenants of the Lord, that [we] are not cast off forever" (Book of Mormon title page), whispers to us still, providing peace and reconciliation with God and promising that our true inheritance, eternal life with Him, has not been forgotten.
[1] In 1 Kings 9:6–7, the Lord, speaking to Solomon, promises that He would be with Solomon as long as he remained obedient but then warns: "But if ye shall at all turn from following me . . . and will not keep my commandments and my statutes, . . . then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight." Similarly in the Psalms, the righteous are promised an earthly inheritance, while the wicked are cursed with being cut off (see Psalm 37:22, 34). "Adversity—drought, famine, epidemic, defeat, or whatever—could be accounted for by reference to a violation of covenant obligations. Conversely, the prosperity and tranquility of either the past or the coming age could be seen as a consequence of faithful partnership with God" (Jon D. Levenson, Sinai and Zion: An Entry into the Jewish Bible[New York: Harper Collins, 1986], 55); see also Stephen L. Cook, The Social Roots of Biblical Yahwism, Studies in Biblical Literature 8 (Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2004).
[2] See Isaiah 53:8: "For he was cut off out of the land of the living," and Psalm 88:4–5: "I am like . . . the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand"; see also Saul M. Olyan, "'We Are Utterly Cut Off': Some Possible Nuances of לנו נגזרנק in Ezek 37:11," Catholic Biblical Quarterly (2003), 43–51.
[3] The connection between the dead and the lands of inheritance is also intriguing since the family burial grounds would have been on the family's land of inheritance: "An ancestral tomb, whether located on inherited land or in the village cemetery, served as a physical, perpetual claim to the patrimony. . . . Interment in the family tomb guaranteed a continuous claim to the nahala or patrimony, and propitiatory post-mortem care for the ancestors with its consequent benefits for the living" (Elizabeth Bloch-Smith, Judahite Burial Practices and Beliefs about the Dead [Sheffield, England: Sheffield Academic Press, 1992], 146, 150).
[4] The imagery of being in the wilderness was often used in the scriptures to describe separation from family and God. "Wilderness imagery does not express beauty, success, or security. It crystallizes abject fear, destruction, and desolation" (Shemaryahu Talmon, "The 'Desert Motif' in the Bible and in Qumran Literature," Biblical Motifs: Origins and Transformations, ed. Alexander Altmann [Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1966], 45); see also Robert Barry Leal, Wilderness in the Bible: Toward a Theology of Wilderness, Studies in Biblical Literature 72 [New York: Peter Lang, 2004]).
[5] This same sense of loss is also addressed by Nephi in 1 Nephi 19:24, immediately preceding a quote from Isaiah: "Hear ye the words of the prophet, ye who are a remnant of the house of Israel, a branch who have been broken off; hear ye the words of the prophet . . . that ye may have hope as well as your brethren from whom ye have been broken off." Unfortunately, the land of Nephi does not remain their land of inheritance since they are driven out again because of unrighteousness into the land of Zarahemla, a land already inhabited. Unlike the Canaanites in the Old Testament, the descendants of Mulek are allowed to remain. That at least some Nephites continue to feel driven out can be seen in the Nephite expedition to reclaim the land of Nephi recorded in Mosiah 9–24. Later, Captain Moroni also reveals the Nephite sense of loss when writing to Ammoron. Captain Moroni declares: "I will arm my women and my children, and I will come against you, and I will follow you even into your own land, which is the land of our first inheritance" (Alma 54:12; emphasis added). He repeats this later in verse 13: "Behold, if ye seek to destroy us more . . . we will seek our land, the land of our first inheritance" (emphasis added). Since Ammoron is residing in the land of Nephi, it is probably this particular land to which Captain Moroni is referring.
[6] A lack of caring for one's own well-being is a symptom of depression. Though Moroni may not be suffering from a full case of depression, having witnessed not only the destruction of his civilization, but also the continuing destruction of Lamanite civilization, it would not be surprising to see Moroni exhibit some characteristics of depression.
[7] Mormon 8:3: "Whether they will slay me, I know not;" 8:5: "How long the Lord will suffer that I may live I know not."
[8] In Mormon 8:21, he warns those who work against the covenant that they are in danger of being cast into the fire. In Mormon 9:3–4, he speaks of being unable to be in the presence of God. In 9:26, he states that those who despise the works of the Lord "shall wonder and perish." Finally, in 9:29, he proclaims, that we must be baptized worthily, partake of the sacrament worthily, and do all things in the name of Christ to keep from being "cast out."
[9] Interestingly, this clause is not found in the biblical Isaiah, nor in the same quoted passage in 1 Nephi 21:24, suggesting that it was added by Jacob to emphasize the meaning of the original Isaiah.
[10] James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1954), 660–61: "At the ninth hour, or about three in the afternoon, a loud voice, surpassing the most anguished cry of physical suffering issued from the central cross, rending the dreadful darkness. It was the voice of Christ: 'Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' What mind of man can fathom the significance of that awful cry? It seems, that in addition to the fearful suffering incident to crucifixion, the agony of Gethsemane had recurred, intensified beyond human power to endure. In that bitterest hour the dying Christ was alone, alone in most terrible reality."
[11] The word succor literally means "to run towards," from the Latin prefix suc/sub (toward) and the verb currere (to run).
[12] This understanding for the promise of land is also recognized by Abraham himself. In Hebrews 11, Paul states that the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob "all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, . . . and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. . . . They desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be call their God: for he hath prepared for them a city" (vv. 13, 16).
[13] In 3 Nephi 20:36–37, Christ quotes Isaiah 52:1–2 in reference to Israel being restored to their lands of inheritance. Importantly, the restoration of lands of inheritance is then associated not necessarily with physical land, but with salvation or redemption, and the fulfillment of covenants: "Then will the Father gather them together again, and give unto them Jerusalem for the land of their inheritance. Then shall they break forth into joy—Sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for the Father hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. . . . Verily, verily, I say unto you, all these things shall surely come, even as the Father hath commanded me. Then shall this covenant which the Father hath covenanted with his people be fulfilled" (3 Nephi 20:33–34, 46). The relationship between God's comfort and the fulfillment of His covenant is also expressed in 2 Nephi 8:12, where the Lord states that He will comfort His people by delivering them.
[14] A similar experience can be found in Doctrine and Covenants 121:1. After five months of extreme persecution and suffering of the Church, Joseph Smith pleaded that God reveal Himself. Like Moroni, Joseph had earlier prayed for alleviation of the Saints' suffering.

Redmond, Kyle .D., Johnson, Megan M., Bainbridge, Elizabeth G.,Cruise, Chelsie E., O'Rourke, Jake M., Kieffer, Lea M., Marr, Shelby L., Zuercher, Gerald L., & Koch, David E. "The Impact of Habitat Variation on Small Mammal Distribution in Eastern Iowa." Poster presentation for the Chlapaty Research Fellowship Program, University of Dubuque, 2012.
Historically, a diverse community of small mammals occurred within Iowa, most of which were associated with the abundant prairies. It is important to examine the impact of ever-decreasing native prairie in Iowa on small mammal communities. We examined the relationship between habitat and small mammal communities at Whitewater Canyon Wildlife Area (WCWA), a park at the border of Dubuque, Jackson, and Jones Counties in Iowa. The park totals 419 acres and consists of four different types habitat; native prairie, restored prairie, woodland, and cornfield. The park is surrounded on all sides by corn or soybean fields. Small mammals were trapped every other week on five transects using live-traps baited with peanut butter. Strategically placed pitfall traps supplemented the basic trapping protocol. A total of seven species were captured: white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus), western jumping mice (Zapus hudsonicus), meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus), prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster), eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus), eastern short-tailed shrew (Blarina brevicauda), and masked shrew (Sorex cinereus). Additionally, 13-lined ground squirrels (Spermophilus tridecimlineatus), though never captured in a trap, were regularly spotted on the property; their locations were noted. The presence of eastern moles (Scalopus aquaticus) also was noted wherever encountered. Species richness and species diversity were determined for each transect. Small mammal communities differed for all transects, likely reflecting different habitat preferences for each species. It appears that overall species diversity for the park is enhanced by the maintenance of multiple habitat types.

The extension of two different tax credit programs in Illinois is looked upon by supporters as critical for continuing development of depressed communities in the state, including East St. Louis.
One of the measures was Senate Bill 1783, legislation to extend the River Edge Redevelopment Zone Program from its current sunset of Jan. 1, 2017, until the end of 2021. The program allows for an income tax credit to be awarded for the restoration and preservation of a qualified historic structure located in a River Edge Redevelopment Zone. Those zones are located in East St. Louis, Rockford, Aurora, Elgin and Peoria. The program is administered by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
The other measure was House Bill 162, which allows the state to award EDGE tax credits to businesses through June 30, 2022. EDGE is an acronym for Economic Development for Growing Economy. The tax credits are awarded to companies expanding in the state or moving to Illinois and creating jobs. The legislation requires businesses that receive the tax credit through the EDGE program to repay the entire amount to the state if they move or cease operation during the term of the agreement.
State Rep. Dan Beiser, D-Alton, supported House Bill 162, which allows the state to award EDGE tax credits to businesses.
EDGE tax credits and the River's Edge Redevelopment Zone are two different things but they have similar economic goals.
The River Edge Redevelopment Zone Program is a tool for municipalities to spur economic development while saving and restoring historic buildings, Gov. Bruce Rauner has said.
Senate Majority Leader James F. Clayborne Jr., D-Belleville, co-sponsored the bipartisan legislation and represents East St. Louis.
East St. Louis hasn't done much with the program to date, but other communities have.
"The State Historic Tax Credits have been THE driving force for redevelopment in Peoria. The HTC's have leveraged over $32 million dollars in investment creating over 150 new residential units and thousands of square feet of retail and office space," said Jim Ardis, mayor of Peoria. "Additionally, hundreds of construction jobs have been generated in the renovation of these buildings. The HTC program has been the cornerstone of our redevelopment efforts in downtown and the Warehouse District.
The purpose of the EDGE tax credit program is to provide tax incentives that inspire companies to either build a new location or expand existing operations in Illinois.
To partake in this program, taxpayers must apply for designation and enter into a written agreement with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
The reinstated EDGE Tax Credit Program has several important changes.
The previous EDGE Tax Credit was offered as a percentage of up to 100 percent of personal income tax withheld of new employees in connection with a project. Credit awards are now capped at the lesser of 50 percent of the incremental personal income tax withheld attributable to new employees plus 10 percent of the training costs for new employees, or 100 percent of the incremental personal income tax withheld attributable to new employees at an EDGE applicant's project.
- the area has an average unemployment rate that is more than 120 percent of the national unemployment rate for a period of at least two consecutive calendar years preceding the date of application.
In very unique circumstances, applicants may be eligible for up to 25 percent of the incremental personal income tax withheld attributed to retained employees for a project.
- Employ a number of new employees in Illinois equal to the lesser of 50 new full-time jobs or 10 percent of their full-time world-wide employees at the date of application.
- Make at least $2.5 million in capital investment in Illinois. This update reduces the amount of required investment of $5 million.
- Employ a number of new employees in Illinois equal to the lesser of 50 new full-time jobs or 5 percent of their full-time worldwide employees at the date of application. There is no minimum capital investment required.
In addition to the updates above, to qualify for the EDGE Tax Credit, applicants must demonstrate that the project would not occur in Illinois but for the EDGE credit.
The reinstatement of the EDGE Tax Credit will be used to enhance economic development opportunities throughout Illinois.

Staying Lean?
Trim the Fat, But Keep the Flavor: The Problem With the Lean Startup Model
By Guest Post • 11/16/11 1:15pm
Mr. Grebski.
This is a guest post by Jacek Grebski, COO of Badger, and a board member at the Bowery Arts & Sciences. You can find more of his musings at http://jacekgrebski.com.
The Lean Startup model seems to be present everywhere you turn these days–any methodology that seeks to improve the success rate of young companies is welcome, and this is especially true when new enterprise is needed more than ever to add kindling to the economic fire. However, there is an undeniable problem with this proposed methodology: Eric Ries is largely selling 336 pages of obvious, while simultaneously making assumptions that would be effective in only a handful of startups, and surely not in an across-the-board situation as advertised.
As with any management ideology, there is of course both the good and the bad, so how's about we take a quick looksee.
The good. Maybe it's because I'm a New Yorker, maybe not, but I couldn't agree more that defining a revenue model early on should be the priority of any startup. Some believe that the mantra of acquiring millions of users and then devising a model is preferred but I would dispute that, you don't need to, nor should you burn cash for years. Instead young companies should focus on seeing revenue appear on the P&L form starting day one.
However, we all speak from our own experiences, and so does Mr. Ries. A lot of his assumptions are based on his experience with IMVU, a product that at time of launch entered (as far as tech is concerned) a mature market: online chat.
But what if your startup is debuting in a relatively young market, like Foursquare, or attempting to create an entirely new market, like Skillshare or Airbnb? Conceptually new ideas need time to test markets and mature. New product acceptance is not something that happens overnight, it's often a lengthy process that involves careful strategic oversight, which the lean startup model lacks. Small sample sizes, constant iterations and new features are detractors. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the lean startup approach will do more in terms of hindrance than good to the company's overall vision.
Using a feedback loop to provide an optimal solution for a saturated market can be a good strategy. However, when the startup is doing something absolutely novel and new, this approach is equivalent to asking everyone in Union Square to name their favorite band. Imagine if the gents behind Twitter were to have listened to their community in 2006? I think we can all attest to the fact that by and large people assumed that 140 characters were not enough, that the service did not make sense, and it was for lack of a better term, just plain dumb. (Who wants to read about what people are having for lunch? etc.) But, by staying the course, Jack Dorsey & co. proved the naysayers wrong.
People can only tell you what they want based on the products they're already using. But if you as an entrepreneur can make something completely novel, something you yourself want to use, now you're innovating. That doesn't happen by putting up a suggestions box.
(Another thing: can we please stop with the pivots already? Turntable.fm did not pivot from Stickybits, Turntable.fm was a completely new product developed by the same people from Stickybits. Bar code scanning, and music-enhanced chat rooms are not similar products. Sheesh.)
And what about the obvious? Yes, agile development is absolutely pivotal (get it) when it comes to product, and it's something that every young company should be employing. It's an absolute necessity, and looking at the nature of today's market where test products can be delivered in a matter of days it just makes sense. Anyone who isn't working in an agile methodology is simply stuck in the 90s. But the call to continuously improve in lean startups borders on the absurd, seriously. All products need to be improved upon and updated, without them we'd still be driving Model-T Fords and watching black and white TVs.
At times, it seems like Mr. Ries read Friedman's "The World is Flat" and thought to himself, I can do this too, which is fine–by all means we should embrace efforts to foster entrepreneurship and growth. It's just that we should look objectively at these methods that claim to be the holy grail solution to an industry that is far more complex than Lean Startup gives credit to, and one that is sadly often marred by the cult of personalities that Mr. Ries has become.
At the end of the day, nothing beats foresight, a skilled and complementary team, and market knowledge. But if you really want to take away some of this book's teachings you'd in all honestly be better off sitting in on a few operations classes at any half way decent MBA and saving yourself the $15.63 plus shipping and handling.

4 years ago in Diesel Brittany Johnson Clayton County Georgia Clayton County Police Department Walter Dennard ~ read.
On June 18th, 2015, Clayton County Georgia police entered the back yard of Brittany Johnson and her husband without a warrant. They would later claim a neighbor had called them to say that the Johnson household was being used to sell drugs, and they were there to perform a "knock and talk". But there was no talking on the 18th, because Brittany and her husband were not home. But other members of the Johnson family were home.
Somehow, police encountered one of the family dogs: Diesel, who was attached to an outside line by a leash when the Johnson's left the house. Diesel was shot three times with a large caliber handgun by a still-unidentified female police officer who promptly fled the scene when the Johnsons returned home.
"I never spoke to her. I asked the Sergeant on scene (Sergeant Thomas) to give me her name, badge number and car number. He refused multiple times."
Brittany Johnson was threatened with arrest on the scene for "disorderly conduct".
Diesel was less than 1 year old.
The Johnson family's landlord, hearing tales of vicious drug dealers in his property who could be subdued only after righteous police gunfire, promptly evicted the young couple. Crashing on couches and staying in motels, the Johnsons are effectively homeless following this puppycide.
Puppycide Database Project research has found that police regularly and casually enter back yards and homes without a warrant or permission from the property owner, and that warrantless searches are a frequent precondition for the killing of pets by police. While courts across the country have carved our exceptions to the fourth amendment to the constitution for situations in which police are in "hot pursuit" of a felon, PuppycideDB has found such situations to be incredibly rare when invasions of private property lead to police opening fire on family dogs. Much more common are situations like the one that lead to the death of the Johnson family's dog Diesel: vague accusations of drug possession or dealing lead to police wandering around on property they have no business being on.
When police actually pursue a felon, our records indicate that searches commonly involve entire neighborhoods and last for many hours after the alleged felon has disappeared from the sight of police. The vision engrained in the American psyche from decades of movies and reality TV shows of police leaping over fences and across roof-tops, an arms-length from some evil thug, remains largely unsupported by our research.
"[Dennard] just took a step back and he just shot at the dog. And then he started laughing afterward."
Despite police reports that the teething menace 'lunged' at them (a goto verb used to justify police shooting of dogs and people alike), the killing was witnessed by a large number of neighbors - all of whom have openly and consistently denied Dennard's narrative.
"[Dennard] just shot the dog and stood there with no remorse, no regrets in front of her and her kids."
"The harassing came shortly after I filed with Internal Affairs. Clayton County Police would drive by my home and stop in front of my house. I would wave and they would speed off."
Attempts to intimidate those who file complaints or lawsuits against police officers, or who pose a political threat to police interests, are widely documented by groups like the ACLU and Human Rights Watch and are not unique to puppycide cases.
It was only after an argument that police released Diesel's body to the Johnsons, who are trying to raise funds to perform a necropsy - a vital first step in seeking legal redress against the police. Those who would like to support the Johnsons can do so by contributing to their GoFundMe page as well as signing their petition on Causes.Com. Brittany Johnson also manages a Facebook page - Justice for Diesel Johnson. Puppycide is a devastating event - emotionally and financially, particularly for a young couple who do not have the savings to deal with an unexpected tragedy.
Note: the editing is a little wonky on this video; however it is our policy to not edit any film provided by police, witnesses or victims.
Meanwhile, the Clayton County Police Department has yet to issue even an informal apology to the Johnsons. It has been the experience of the Puppycide Database Project that such apologies are almost unheard of, and are issued solely as a means of mitigating public relations fallout - not because such apologies represent the bare minimum of basic human decency.

Windows 8 will run on ARM natively

OS: None specified
Microsoft is taking notice of industry trends, and told attendees Wednesday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that the next version of Windows would run on ARM chips. The move is an acknowledgement of the changing face of consumer electronics -- that smart phones, tablets, and portable devices are indeed the future.
The move is also significant for another reason -- up until now, Microsoft on ARM was relegated to the stripped down versions of Windows, either Windows Mobile, CE, or Embedded. Having the capability to run a full version of the operating system natively on these mobile processors opens up more possibilities for manufacturers in developing compact devices, the Redmond company believes.
"We've reached a point in technology where everyone really does want everything from their computing experience," Windows chief Steven Sinfosky said in explaining the decision. "Today's demonstrations will highlight the work we have done on the architecture of Windows to enable the richness of the Windows platform to run natively on the ARM platform."

Ahadith /
Hadith on Approaching Towards God
The Ahmadiyya Gazette, July 1994
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: Allah says: Whoever is at enmity with one whom I befriend should beware of having to do battle with Me. When a servant of Mine seeks to approach Me through that which I like best out of what I have made obligatory upon him, and continues to advance towards Me by dint of voluntary effort beyond that prescribed then I begin to love him. When I love him I become his ears by which he hears, and his eyes with which he sees, and his hands with which he grasps, and his feet with which he walks. When he asks Me I bestow upon him and when he seeks My protection I protect him. ( Bokhari )
Anas relates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: Allah says: When a servant of Mine advances towards Me a foot, I advance towards him a yard, and when he advances towards Me a yard, I advance toward him the length of his arms spread out. When he comes to Me walking, I go to him running. ( Bokhari )
Ayesha relates: the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood so long during his voluntary Prayer at night that the skin of his feet would crack; so I said to him: Messenger of Allah, why do you stand so long in Prayer when Allah has suppressed in you in the past and for the future all inclinations towards sin? He answered: Then should I not wish to be a grateful servant of Allah? ( Bokhari and Muslim )

The Post understands leaders of seven authorities in the region have agreed to put an end to any plans to call combined authority "Greater Birmingham"
The region's new combined authority is to go under the West Midlands moniker - spelling an end to the possibility of it being called "Greater Birmingham".
The council leaders from Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry and the four Black Country authorities settled on a name despite concerns it is little known outside the region.
The Post understands they failed to agree on suggested alternative titles, such as the much more globally marketable Greater Birmingham or even Heart of England authority, settling on the WMCA.
Business leaders in particular were keen on "Greater Birmingham" which they see as having a higher recognition factor, particularly when dealing with overseas investors and clients.
But WMCA is the one title to which there were no strong objections from any of the boroughs.
It means the seven councils and their linked local enterprise partnerships will be acting as one on strategic issues such as economic development and regional transport.
The Post also understands that the leaders have reluctantly recognised that they will, at some stage, have to adopt a directly elected mayor to secure the full devolution package.
But they have put the issue aside while the combined authority is set up - meaning a directly elected West Midlands mayor is unlikely to be in place before 2019.
Last week Birmingham Council leader Sir Albert Bore confirmed that details of the new Combined Authority would be published within weeks for consultation with the public and councils over the summer and, after any amendments are made a final proposal will be forwarded to Government in the Autumn. The Authority will officially start in April 2016.
A source close to the talks said: "A shadow board should be brought about fairly quickly now and after that we will be in touch with the Chancellor.
As well as the seven metropolitan boroughs, it is likely that several district councils covering satellite towns, could join. Lichfield District Council attended a recent meeting between the leaders and Chancellor George Osborne.
It was following the meeting that Mr Osborne made it clear the West Midlands would only get the full wide ranging devolution package, including areas like social care and health, under an elected mayor.

Emirates to resume US flights after 'temporary' 5G reprieve
An Emirates Airlines Boeing 777 lands at Logan International Airport in Boston. File / AP
Emirates Airlines said on Thursday it will lift a suspension of flights to several US destinations in a "temporary reprieve" after the launch of 5G networks was delayed near American airports over safety fears.
Flights to six destinations will resume on Friday, and on Saturday services to Boston, Houston and San Francisco will return to Boeing 777 planes after having been changed to Airbus A380s, the Dubai-based carrier said in a statement.
The airline announced flight suspensions on Tuesday over concerns that the 5G mobile networks launched by AT&T and Verizon could interfere with altimeters, which measure altitude.
The telecom firms agreed to delay 5G services around airports as the super-fast networks opened without major disruption on Wednesday.
"We welcome the latest development which enables us to resume essential transport links to the US to serve travellers and cargo shippers," Emirates president Tim Clark said.
"However, we are also very aware that this is a temporary reprieve, and a long-term resolution would be required."
US mobile operators AT&T and Verizon agreed Tuesday to a partial delay in activating their 5G networks following an outcry from US airlines, which warned of travel chaos.
Telecom giants spent tens of billions of dollars to obtain 5G licences last year, but aviation industry groups raised concerns about possible interference with aeroplanes' radio altimeters, particularly in bad weather.
