Aca Quotes

deus tem que ser substituído rapidamente por poe- mas, sílabas sibilantes, lâmpadas acesas, corpos palpáveis, vivos e limpos. a dor de todas as ruas vazias. sinto-me capaz de caminhar na língua aguçada deste silêncio. e na sua simplicidade, na sua clareza, no seu abis- mo. sinto-me capaz de acabar com esse vácuo, e de aca- bar comigo mesmo. a dor de todas as ruas vazias. mas gosto da noite e do riso de cinzas. gosto do deserto, e do acaso da vida. gosto dos enganos, da sorte e dos encontros inesperados. pernoito quase sempre no lado sagrado do meu cora- ção, ou onde o medo tem a precaridade doutro corpo. a dor de todas as ruas vazias. pois bem, mário - o paraíso sabe-se que chega a lis- boa na fragata do alfeite. basta pôr uma lua nervosa no cimo do mastro, e mandar arrear o velame. é isto que é preciso dizer: daqui ninguém sai sem cadastro. a dor de todas as ruas vazias. sujo os olhos com sangue. chove torrencialmente. o filme acabou. não nos conheceremos nunca. a dor de todas as ruas vazias. os poemas adormeceram no desassossego da idade. fulguram na perturbação de um tempo cada dia mais curto. e, por vezes, ouço-os no transe da noite. assolam-me as imagens, rasgam-me as metáforas insidiosas, porcas. ..e nada escrevo. o regresso à escrita terminou. a vida toda fodida - e a alma esburacada por uma agonia tamanho deste mar. a dor de todas as ruas vazias.

The ACA wisdom is this: “There is nothing like hitting bottom to motivate someone into action that produces lasting change.

It’s unclear, as of this writing, whether the ACA will survive a Trump administration. “I’m so pissed about that,

I have frequently thought to myself, 'If I can teach my daughter one thing, it will be the love of self unconditionally.' Unconditional love and peace are obtainable, but they are only obtainable if I can learn to move beyond the conditions that I placed on my life. When conditions are placed on my life and on the lives of others, they ensure that I will never experience the depths of love and happiness.

Primero: libre búsqueda de la verdad. Segundo: libertad de investigación científica y aca- démica. Tercero: estímulo de una ética humanitaria universal. Cuarto: patriotismo dirigido hacia el desarrollo cultural. Quinto: apertura a todas las corrientes de la humanidad.

Clinton had a universe of faults but under her administration we likely wouldn't have seen married people being picked up and separated by border patrol. Health care, including Planned Parenthood, which is the only access to prenatal and gynecological health care many poor women have at all, wouldn't be at risk. The Paris Climate Accord wouldn't have been tossed out. We wouldn't be going the other way on mass incarceration, prison privatization and the drug war. We wouldn't be facing the rebirth of the old Jim Crow. Which is not to say that a Clinton presidency would have meant peace and justice for all. It wouldn't have. She would have pushed an agenda that elevated the American Empire in terrible ways. But the loss of even the most compromising of agreements, accords and legislation means that we are starting from negative numbers. It means that we can't focus on pushing for something far better than the ACA -- like single-payer health care -- but that we have to fight for even the most basic of rights.

The bad news is that our healthcare system does not provide any added values that come along with paying more.

The ACA program allows us to acknowledge our parents’ support and positive contributions in our lives. With the help of ACA, we are offering our parents fairness as we look at the family system with rigorous honesty. We are looking for the truth so that we can live our own lives with choice and self-confidence. We want to break the cycle of family dysfunction.

The way out is to surrender, and then to become, gradually, a co-creator of life. This is where the spiritual aspect of recovery comes into play as a powerful aid. Attendance at and working 12 Step recovery programs such as Al-Anon, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, ACA/ACoA, CoDA, and Overeaters Anonymous and others are helpful. Other spiritual paths may also be helpful.

We ask new members to avoid some hindrances to recovery that include: isolating and not asking for help, intellectualizing the program, focusing only on counseling, “falling in love” with another member and avoiding program work, erratic meeting attendance, and taking drugs or drinking alcohol. We suggest that newcomers to ACA stay out of romantic relationships since we need time to focus on ourselves. We are highly susceptible to unhealthy attachments which can divert us from focusing on ourselves. The ACA solution is in the meetings and the Twelve Steps, instead of in someone else.

Bottoming out can vary from person to person; however, the general consensus reveals that the person usually has exhausted all resources, lacks self-love, and is practicing self-harm. The person may be allowing others to neglect and abuse him. While a bottom is in progress, denial is rampant and relatives or friends may have turned away. At this juncture, the adult child usually isolates or becomes involved in busy work to avoid asking for help. He scrambles to manipulate anyone who might still be having contact with him. Some adult children are at the other extreme. They have resources and speak of a bright future or new challenge; however, their bottom involves an inability to connect with others on a meaningful level. Their lives are unmanageable due to perfectionism and denial that seals them off from others. These are the high-functioning adults who seem to operate in the stratosphere of success. In their self-sufficiency they avoid asking for help, but they feel a desperate disconnect from life. Their bottom can be panic attacks without warning or bouts of depression that are pushed away with work or a new relationship.

The Laundry List Characteristics of an Adult Child 1) We became isolated and afraid of people and authority figures. 2) We became approval seekers and lost our identity in the process. 3) We are frightened by angry people and any personal criticism. 4) We either become alcoholics, marry them or both, or find another compulsive personality such as a workaholic to fulfill our sick abandonment needs. 5) We live life from the viewpoint of victims, and we are attracted by that weakness in our love and friendship relationships. 6) We have an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, and it is easier for us to be concerned with others rather than ourselves; this enables us not to look too closely at our own faults, etc. 7) We get guilt feelings when we stand up for ourselves instead of giving in to others. 8) We became addicted to excitement. 9) We confuse love and pity and tend to “love” people we can “pity” and “rescue.” 10) We “stuffed” our feelings from our traumatic childhoods and have lost the ability to feel or express our feelings because it hurts so much (Denial). 11) We judge ourselves harshly and have a very low sense of self-esteem. 12) We are dependent personalities who are terrified of abandonment and will do anything to hold on to a relationship in order not to experience painful abandonment feelings, which we received from living with sick people who were never there emotionally for us. 13) Alcoholism is a family disease; we became para-alcoholics (codependents)† and took on the characteristics of that disease even though we did not pick up the drink. 14) Para-alcoholics (codependents) are reactors rather than actors.

I affirm that I deserve to live the balanced life that I choose, not a life that simply happens to me.

Chicos del salvajes oeste (2013) Estoy de vuelta en un dulce cuerpo de cervezas y libélulas negras. Las censuras de tu mundo han perdido su equilibrio en los brutos que no puede mimar. Y el sol se ha devorado a si mismo como un mendigo en tu instagram En verdad, tu gravedad de arco iris es el mal… Ni un tren diesel limón puede escapar. Solo recuerda que estoy aca. Y que ningún mendigo puede jamás perder el equilibrio: todos usan facebook o instagram. Pero yo estoy aca! Hola sucia Perra! Hola universo fatal!.... A mi, no me puedes mimar! Estoy de vuelta en un dulce cuerpo de cervezas y libélulas negras A mi no me puedes mirar!.

When out-of-pocket costs continued to rise for people, many faulted the ACA, rather than the underlying cost inflation. When doctors were forced to see more patients than before to maintain their incomes, they too pointed at the ACA, rather than the underlying inefficiencies of the health care system. And when insurers narrowed their networks, everyone concluded the ACA was the culprit, if only because both changes happened at around the same time.

A major exception was President Obama, whose Affordable Care Act was a milestone in U.S. social policy. The ACA’s opponents tried to frame it as an identity issue, suggesting sotto voce that the policy was designed by a black president to help his black constituents. But it was in fact a national policy designed to help less well-off Americans, regardless of their race or identity. Many of the law’s beneficiaries include rural whites in the South who have nonetheless been persuaded to vote for Republican politicians vowing to repeal the ACA.

My Choice Health Insurance is a black-owned health insurance agency in New Orleans that specializes in helping the underserved black community in New Orleans to obtain affordable health insurance through the ACA Marketplace (Affordable Care Act) also known as Obamacare. We are dedicated to empower individual and black families to make sure they are educated, supported, and provided all the resources to help them take advantage of free or low-cost Obamacare health insurance plans.

I remember March 24, 2017, with great clarity. The Republicans thought that they would repeal the ACA around the anniversary of the passage of the final legislation. But Democrats knew that Speaker Ryan didn't have the votes to pass the Republican bill, because outside groups and patient advocates were reporting to us that the Republicans were still desperately seeking votes in and outside of the chamber. As the AHCA was being debated, I told my members that I would seek recognition that the Speaker pull the bill from the floor. But before I could be recognized, Paul Ryan pulled his own bill - because he did not have the votes. One lesson in successful legislation that should be observed: the Speaker should only bring a bill to the floor when he has the votes - not simply on the anniversary of when I had the votes.

El Automóvil Club Argentino (A.C.A.) alzó la voz para proponer que el cambio de sentido se hiciera el jueves 5 de octubre de 1944. ¿Por qué el 5 de octubre? Porque desde 1928, cada 5 de octubre se celebra en la Argentina el Día del Camino. ¿Y por qué en la Argentina se celebra el Día del Camino? Porque el 5 de octubre de 1925 se llevó a cabo en Buenos Aires el primer Congreso Panamericano de Carreteras, al que acudieron casi todos los países del continente donde, entre otras cosas, ¡se había planteado la necesidad de unificar las reglas sobre circulación de tránsito! El jueves 5 de octubre de 1944 que había propuesto el A.C.A. pasó sin pena ni gloria y los coches siguieron por sus carriles. De todas maneras, el cambio estaba en marcha. El general Juan Pistarini, ministro de Obras Públicas del presidente Farrell, se había sumado a la cruzada del carril: el 2 de octubre había firmado el decreto 26.965 que establecía que el domingo 10 de junio de 1945 a las seis de la mañana todos los automóviles del país debían modificar su sentido de marcha (el decreto fue del mismo día en que el ministro Pistarini elevó otro referido a la construcción del aeropuerto en Ezeiza). La cuenta regresiva, los ocho meses previos al cambio de mano, fueron intensos. Se estableció que la semana inicial todo el mundo manejaría a menor velocidad de la normal. Las máximas serían de 20 km/h en las zonas urbanas, 35 en las suburbanas y 70 en las carreteras en campo abierto. Se imprimieron calcomanías que debían pegarse en los vidrios traseros y delanteros de los autos, en la noche del 9 de junio. Las flechas indicaban por dónde debían ser pasados: por la izquierda. Quien no tuviera los calcos pegados recibía una multa. Los folletos con consejos buscaban resolver las situaciones de incertidumbre —por ejemplo en una bocacalle— con frases como: “Piense que si usted es una persona serena, el otro conductor puede ser un novicio de temperamento nervioso y perder el control en momento de peligro”. Otro de los consejos era: “Si se encuentra de frente con otro coche que no tiene en cuenta el cambio de mano, usted debe detener su vehículo y hacer al otro conductor las indicaciones necesarias”. ¿Habrán nacido allí los gestos que aún hacemos desde nuestros coches, para demostrar unos a otros y otros a unos que están o estamos equivocados? Como medida complementaria, se modificó el sentido de circulación de muchísimas calles de Buenos Aires. Un par de semanas antes del día M (M de mano), brigadas del Touring Club Argentino y del ya mencionado A.C.A. salieron con escaleras y martillos a estampar carteles viales. Se dieron vuelta 280 señales de estacionamiento y se adhirieron a las esquinas 6.500 flechas indicadoras del sentido de la circulación. Se acordó que los trenes y subtes no cambiarían de mano para no sumar más confusiones. En mayo se realizó un simulacro de cambio de mano en Corrientes y 9 de Julio. Durante un día, todos aquellos que desearan probarse podían dar vueltas alrededor del obelisco en el sentido contrario al que estaban acostumbrados (porque tradicionalmente se giraba en el sentido de las agujas del reloj y a partir de junio, sería al revés). La gente se paraba en la Plaza de la República para ver el espectáculo del giro a la izquierda. Además de la constante publicidad oficial, las empresas hicieron su aporte marketinero. Por ejemplo, la marca Cinzano publicó un aviso en los matutinos con un dibujo de automóviles girando en el nuevo sentido alrededor del obelisco, y la frase con rima: “Hoy cambie de mano, y siga tomando vermouth Cinzano”. La joyería Casa Escasany mostraba un reloj pulsera con correa de cuero que pasaba a la mano derecha. Su eslogan alusivo fue: “Hoy, cambio de mano. Verifique la velocidad de su coche con cronógrafos de Casa Escasany”. Otro aviso: “Tome su derecha y tome Geniol”. El de pinturerías Alba: “Desde el Alba del 10 de junio, todo el país

Hearing the message of recovery and hope from someone else fans the dim spark of aliveness we keep buried inside.” BRB p. 359 When

The ACA has a three-part structure. First, it bans insurers from denying coverage based on preexisting conditions. Standing alone, that provision would cause many consumers to postpone seeking insurance until they get sick, a tendency that would cause carriers to hike prices, deterring more people from buying policies. To prevent this fatal dysfunction and assure that healthy people jump into the insurance pool, the individual mandate upheld in 2012 requires that everyone obtain coverage. The third component— the one now under fire—is the provision of tax subsidies to allow less-well-off consumers to participate.

Cambio de mano Una de las últimas acciones del gobernador bonaerense Emilio Castro —en tiempos de la presidencia de Sarmiento— fue decretar que todos los carros debían conservar su derecha. De esta manera, buscaba evitar algo que ocurría con mucha frecuencia: que dos coches tirados por caballos, mulas o bueyes chocaran al toparse de frente, sin resolver a tiempo hacia qué costado desviarse. Es verdad que el tránsito en aquella época era bastante simple. Pero transcurrían los años y aumentaba el número de cupés, berlinas, chatas y galeras que circulaban por la gran aldea porteña. Castro no había tenido en cuenta un problema crucial: los cocheros de Buenos Aires solían sentarse en el costado derecho del vehículo. Esto generaba dos inconvenientes: – Por un lado, si dos coches se encontraban de frente y cada uno torcía hacia su derecha, con sus cocheros sentados a la derecha, los dos quedaban lejos de sus ruedas izquierdas, que eran las que podían chocarse por un error de cálculo. – Por el otro, el peligro de los latigazos. Un cochero que conservaba la derecha, sentado a la derecha del carro, se veía obligado a castigar a la derecha del animal si quería que la bestia doblara para la izquierda. En esos casos, el látigo alcanzaba la vereda y era común que los peatones recibieran sin querer el golpe del tiento curtido. El problema de las ruedas izquierdas y los latigazos aumentaba a la par de la cantidad de vehículos. Luego de diecisiete años de vigencia, el intendente Francisco Seeber resolvió derogar la disposición de Castro y propuso que se cambiara de mano. El Concejo Deliberante lo respaldó. El 6 de junio de 1889 se lanzó el nuevo reglamento en el cual, además, el artículo 23 prohibía los chasquidos con el látigo (cinco pesos de multa) y se creaba una especie de microcentro —algo mayor que el actual— en el que se vedaba la circulación de carros (veinte pesos de multa). Buenos Aires marcaba las pautas al resto de las provincias y para 1890, en todas las ciudades de la Argentina se unificó la circulación. Esto hizo que algunos años después nuestros primeros automovilistas manejaran como en Gran Bretaña, conservando la izquierda y con el volante a la derecha. Desde ya, pertenecíamos al grupo minoritario: en todo el continente se manejaba conservando la derecha, salvo en nuestro país y en Uruguay. En 1944, la Argentina contaba con 307.935 vehículos que, sumados a los 28.823 del Uruguay, ni siquiera alcanzaba a totalizar el 1% del parque automotor del continente. El 99% restante manejaba al revés. ¿Qué hizo que casi todo el mundo conservara la derecha? La fabricación en serie del Ford T, un coche popular que disponía el volante a la izquierda, de acuerdo con las normas estadounidenses. En abril de 1944 se debatía un problema increíble: qué ocurriría cuando se terminara el puente que unía Paso de los Libres con Uruguayana (Brasil), a través del río Uruguay. “¿De qué forma tendrán que proceder los conductores que saliendo de Paso de los Libres lleguen al centro del puente conservando su izquierda para entrar al tramo brasileño donde rige el sistema de dirección a la derecha que mantiene aquel país?”, se preguntaba un periodista de la revista Automundo. El panorama en la Argentina era de lo más ridículo porque la Segunda Guerra Mundial había comprometido las importaciones de la industria pesada europea. Frente al desabastecimiento de las automotrices británicas, la alternativa era comprar automóviles usados en el continente (con volante a la izquierda) y transformarlos, con un costo de 100 valiosos dólares, para que pudieran ser usados en nuestro país. El Automóvil Club Argentino (A.C.A.) alzó la voz para proponer que el cambio de sentido se hiciera el jueves 5 de octubre de 1944. ¿Por qué el 5 de octubre? Porque desde 1928, cada 5 de octubre se celebra en la Argentina el Día del Camino. ¿Y por qué en la Argentina se celebra el Día del Camino? Porqu

Why not ask a Loving Parent to help us reclaim our childhood innocence and to live more gently today?

In the years following the Obamacare debate, multiple studies showed that racial resentments drove opposition to the ACA even when factors like party identification and political ideology are held constant. White voters’ knee-jerk opposition to Obamacare was always more about the "Obama" part than the "care" part.

Rejecting the ACA's Medicaid provision offers yet another example of rural White conservatives voting against their own material interests. Rural Whites, after all, are uninsured at higher rates than their urban White counterparts.

RED FLAGS: If you know that your partner has a volatile personality, such as displaying excessive jealousy, outbursts, frequent lying, and inability to self-regulate, then you will have a greater understanding of how they may react. The end of a relationship may have dug up raw emotions for your partner. They may feel unsure of how to make sense of these emotions or they may be totally out of touch with their emotions altogether. Either way, it is important that you are safe in your approach to your ex-partner.

At the start of my residency, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed and all doctors had to get up to speed on the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), a new program under the Quality Payment Program (QPP), where a physician would now receive substantial adjustments to payments from Medicare if they met specific quality-of-care criteria. One would think that “quality” and “merit” in medicine would mean that the patient was actually getting better. But when I dug deep through the MIPS website to find the specific quality metrics for each specialty, I was shocked to see that these quality criteria were primarily based on whether doctors prescribed drugs regularly or did more interventions. Yes, a government incentive program focused less on actual patient outcomes (i.e., Did the patient get healthier?) and more on whether doctors prescribed long-term pharmaceuticals.

Repealing the ACA would result in tens of millions of people losing their health insurance. It would allow insurance companies to reinstate lifetime limits, driving countless Americans

The purpose of ACA is threefold—to shelter and support newcomers in confronting denial; to comfort those mourning their early loss of security, trust, and love; and to teach the skills for reparenting ourselves with gentleness, humor, love, and respect.

We can reparent not because we “have to” or because we want to get rid of the pain, but because it is the kindest response to pain.

te quiero de aca hasta el sol,sos lo más

The term quadruple aim was coined in 2014 to highlight the four main aims of healthcare reform efforts (and evaluation thereof) that were the focus of the ACA: improved quality of patient care, reduced healthcare costs, improved population health status, and job satisfaction among healthcare workers (Bodenheimer & Sinsky, 2014).

On another front, the ACA allocated $1.5 billion to the National Health Service Corps, a training program, which for decades has offered scholarships and loan forgiveness to young primary care clinicians who volunteer to practice in underserved areas. As of September 30, 2015, there were 9,600 Corps clinicians providing primary care services, more than twice the number of these clinicians in 2008 (White House, 2016). Under the Trump administration, however, these achievements were significantly scaled back.

I think you’re going to get a disproportionate impact on people who supported Donald Trump but maybe don’t realize that his policies may end up hurting them instead of helping them,” Moore claimed. Salon echoed Moore’s assessment: “Donald Trump is about to victimize his own voters.” Meanwhile, a lead editorial in the New York Times announced that “Trumpcare Is Already Hurting Trump Country.”1 Trump didn’t bother denying any of it. During an interview on Fox News in March 2017, Tucker Carlson told the president that “counties that voted for you, middle-class and working-class counties, would do far less well” under the proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). “Yeah. Oh, I know that. It’s very preliminary,” Trump replied.2

The new Code prohibits counselors from discriminating based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Hence, a counselor cannot say, “I will not counsel you because you are gay,” or “I won’t discuss gay relationships because of my religious beliefs.” Major controversy: Several states such as Arizona and Mississippi actually have bills that do not support ACA’s new code on this issue. ACA’s response is that all counselors should tell law makers what constitutes efficacious counseling—not the other way around. Politicians should not be dictating behavior to counselors.

What they don’t point out explicitly is that with the exception of A.C.A. repeal, Democrats err in the same direction as Republicans, just less so. Specifically, both parties believe that the public is to the right of where it really is.

Even higher hopes were held for education as a product and protector of equality, especially in the light of the educational privileges of the elites. William Manning, the Billerica tavernkeeper, went to the heart of the matter: “Larning is of the greatest importance to the seport of a free government,” he wrote, “& to prevent this the few are always crying up the advantages of costly collages, national aca-dimyes & grammer schooles, in ordir to make places for men to live without work, & so strengthen their party. But are always opposed to cheep schools & woman schooles, the ondly or prinsaple means by which larning is spred amongue the Many.” This view, which was too strong for even the Jeffersonian press to print, anticipated the egalitarian thrust of the 1830s.

We understand the “don’t talk, don’t trust, and don’t feel” rules. We understand the destructive obsession and compulsion of codependence and how it relates in our lives. We work the ACA Steps. We connect with our Inner Child and find hope and lasting peace in ACA.

In ACA, we find a comprehensive message of recovery that involves the Twelve Steps, reparenting one’s self, and embracing our Inner Child. The Inner Child is also known as the True Self by some of us.

Our addictive relationships represent our impulse to heal our family of origin through our adult relationships. Because we were not consistently nurtured and not made to feel safe as children, ACAs from all families spend their lives chasing love and affirmation in other people, who often cannot give it.

The Laundry List (Problem), which describes a personality who fears people, has difficulty expressing feelings, and who can tolerate a high level of abuse or neglect without realizing the effects of such behavior. The adult child personality, the false self, lives in fear of being shamed and abandoned. Yet, the person chooses relationships which do both. These common behaviors are the identifying traits which create ACA identification.

Merely four months before, that same Congress passed the ACA, further expanding our insurance-based system. Yet the practices of “affordable” health care are virtually the same practices now outlawed in mortgage lending: we all make our health care decisions with their financial implications intentionally hidden from us. How
