Publisher: TruthNotes Press
Grace Neunaber may have everything she's ever dreamed of, but sometimes it's too much. With an infinite to-do list and not enough sleep, she can't even get out of survival mode. Her struggles dim, however, in light of the challenges of her oldest daughter.
Thanks to a supportive family and boyfriend, Faith Williams is managing single motherhood on top of college plans. But when the father of her child re-enters her life, her carefully scheduled world is rocked. She can hardly blame him for wanting to spend time with their son, but making her boyfriend jealous and claiming to be Christian is going a bit far.
Despite Faith's best intentions to keep everyone happy, disaster after disaster strikes, and school is suddenly the least of her worries. Grace must set aside her own difficulties so she can be there for her daughter. And in order to survive the uncertainties, Faith must loosen her grip on her grudges and cling to the hope that God is the only one in her life who hasn't changed.
Ruth Meyer graduated from Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a degree in church music and no plans whatsoever to become an author. But a student of the week project for her son inspired "Our Faith From A to Z," a children's picture book. After that, it was only a matter of time before she tried her hand at fiction. As both the daughter of and the wife of a pastor, Ruth has moved around a lot and had many experiences that provide ideas for her writing. Currently, she resides in rural Texas with her husband, their five children, two dogs, and a cat. It is her hope that through her writing, readers are assured of God's grace through His Son, Jesus

Aïn Taya ou Aïn Taïa (en arabe عين طاية), est une commune de la wilaya d'Alger en Algérie, située dans la banlieue Est d'Alger.

Géographie

Toponymie
Le nom d'Aïn Taya est composé de Aïn signifiant « la source » et Taya, un mot d'origine berbère, qui désigne .

Localisation
La commune d'Aïn Taya est située sur la bande côtière algérienne, à  au nord-est d'Alger.

Relief et hydrographie
Aïn Taya est construite en bordure d'une falaise escarpée au pied de laquelle s'étend une plage de sable fin. Adossée à la mer Méditerranée, elle fait face à d'innombrable ilots dont le rocher d'Aguelli (dit Bounettah) et le rocher de la Bordelaise. Elle a été fondée sur l'emplacement d'un marécage alimenté par différentes sources. On compte essentiellement quatre sources principales. Outre la source des oiseaux (Aïn Tir), on peut citer la source de suffren (Aïn Baydha), celle de surcouf (ain ech-chorb), ainsi que la source publique (Aïn El Baylek).

Routes
La commune d'Aïn Taya est desservie par plusieurs routes nationales : Route nationale 24 : RN24 (Route de Béjaïa).

Histoire

Préhistoire et Antiquité
Ain Taya fut une importante station préhistorique: "En 1930, M. Piroutet publiait une coupe de la falaise d'Ain-Taya, proche d'Alger, où il avait, quatre ou cinq ans auparavant, récolté un abondant outillage moustérien et néolithique."

"Le gisement du Grand Rocher est Néolithique et celui des Béni Messous, Énéolithique. Dès ces périodes vivaient, aux environs d'Alger, des populations affines des Blancs actuels, sans doute des Berbères (H. Marchand, Loc. cit., 1931, p. 14i. — M. Piroutet, La station préhistorique d'Ain Taya, Alger, Bull. Soc. Préhist. Fr., XXVII, 1930, )."

Plusieurs colonisations ont occupé la plaine de Mitidja, citons les Romains au début des premiers siècles, leurs ruines y sont présentes dans la région (Bordj El Bahri ancien Cap Matifou et Tamentfoust) marquant ainsi une preuve matérielle de leurs existence à l'époque.

Dans l'Atlas archéologique de l'Algérie, V. Gsell cite des vestiges Romains dans la localité de Ain el beida (Zerzouria) à Ain Taya: "37.- Ain Beida. Source d'où parait un canal qui se dirigeait vers la mer et était rejoint par un autre canal, venant d'Ain Gattar el Kébir, source située plus à l'Est. À Ain Gattar el Serir (autre source à l'E. de la précédente), vestige de constructions romaines. Près de là, carrières de Maherzat, exploitées par les anciens. Berbrugger, Nécessité, , 23 (conf. Chadron, l. c., )."

Période coloniale française

Introduction
Après les destructions, la dévastation et le pillage des biens, la Mitidja, les populations des environs immédiats d'Alger, seront soumis à des massacres ignobles et impitoyables.

Voici les bilans des expéditions militaires françaises, puissantes et supérieures en effectifs et en arsenal de guerre rapportés par E. Pellisier (Capitaine d'état-major, chef du bureau des arabes à Alger) :

« Nous ne perdîmes que fort peu de monde dans la journée du 29. Cinq pièces de canon tombèrent en notre pouvoir, ainsi que quelques prisonniers. Les maisons de campagne que nous trouvâmes abandonnées, furent en général pillées et dévastées ; celles de quelques consuls européens, dont les soldats ne connurent pas les pavillons, souffrirent comme les autres. Quelques habitants trouvés cachés dans les maisons et dans les haies, furent massacrés; deux ou trois femmes furent même tuées par accident, d'autres furent violées ; mais ce sont là les tristes accompagnements de toute guerre, même de la plus juste. ».

Il rapporta aussi :

« Le lendemain de la prise d'Alger, la brigade Montlivault reçut ordre de se porter sur le Haouch-Cantara (la maison carrée) et sur la Rassauta, autre ferme bien
connue à l'est d'Alger, pour s'emparer des haras et des troupeaux du gouvernement qui s'y trouvaient. Mais le Bey de Constantine, qui avait repris, avec son contingent, la route de sa province, avait tout enlevé. Cette brigade poussa jusqu'au cap Matifou, qui ferme à l'est la rade d'Alger. Elle reconnut sur la côte plusieurs batteries armées de  de canon, qu'elle n'avait ni les moyens ni la mission d'enlever. Quelque temps après, des canots furent envoyés pour désarmer les batteries du cap Matifou ; mais la vue de quelques Arabes armés les empêcha de le faire. Les batteries situées depuis le fort Bab-Azoun jusqu'à l'Arach, ne furent désarmées que le 22 août. Celles qui sont situées au-delà, jusqu'au cap Matifou, et le fort Matifou lui-même, restèrent armés, et le sont encore au moment où j'écris, quoique les troupes françaises ne les occupent pas ».

Il écrit également :

« La coupable négligence des chefs de corps laissa dévaster les belles et fraîches maisons de
campagne qui entourent cette ville. Au lieu d'employer des moyens réguliers pour avoir du bois, on coupait les haies et les arbres fruitiers, on brûlait les portes, les fenêtres, et
même les poutres des maisons : le soldat détruisait aussi pour le plaisir de détruire. Les marbres, les bassins, les ornements de sculpture, tout était brisé, sans but et sans profit pour qui que ce fût ». La genèse de Ain Taya

Les colons français ont choisi la plus belle contrée de la Mitidja, « Haouch – Rassauta » ou se situe le territoire de l'actuelle Ain Taya pour construire leurs résidence d'été.

En 1847, la baron de Vialar invite les habitants des îles Baléares pour s'établir dans la région, et par un décret Napoléonien (du 30 septembre 1853) furent créés Ain Taya et Cap Matifou (Bordj el Bahri).

Le 22 août 1861, Ain Taya devient section de commune de Rouiba rassemblant cinq agglomérations :
Ain Taya, Cap Matifou, El Marsa, Heraoua et Alger plage.

Vers 1920 Cap Matifou fut séparée de Ain Taya et érigée en commune.

 Après l'indépendance
Après l'indépendance, et à la suite de la réorganisation territoriale des communes, la commune de Cap Matifou fut rattachée à celle de Ain Taya par le décret du 16 mai 1963.

Le , Ain Taya sera intégrée à la wilaya de Boumerdès, nouvellement créée. Bordj El Bahri, El Marsa, Heraoua et Alger Plage furent séparés de Ain Taya.

Le , à la création du gouvernorat du Grand-Alger, la commune est détachée de la wilaya de Boumerdès, pour rejoindre à nouveau celle d'Alger.

British Party Leaders Debate Foreign Policy
Nick Ottens April 22, 2010 December 5, 2021
The leaders of the three major British political parties debated foreign policy on Sky News tonight. Questions from the audience quickly steered the discussion in a more domestic direction but the politicians were able to present their views on the European Union, the special relationship with the United States, climate change and defense.
20:18: By Nick Ottens
The debate started off with a discussion on Britain's role within the European Union. With the exception of Cameron, the party leaders stressed the benefits derived from EU membership. Brown, for instance, claimed that as many as three million British jobs depend on Europe while Clegg promised greater British leadership within union. The Conservative leader was skeptical. He pledged never to surrender the pound in favor of the euro while for all powers to be transfered from Westminster to Brussels, Cameron demanded a referendum.
Both Brown and Clegg lambasted the Conservative Party for pulling out of the center-right People's Party in the European Parliament to join the Euroskeptic, anti-federalist European Conservatives and Reformists group. According to Clegg, this club is made up of crazy, nationalistic homophobes.
On defense, the party leaders reiterated the positions they had taken during their confrontation last week. Cameron stressed the importance of sending troops into battle with the right equipment; Clegg said again that he didn't want to buy the Eurofighter Tranche 3B; Brown offered little of substance other than praising the bravery of British troops stationed in the Middle East.
Cameron took the opportunity to criticize Clegg for wanting to scrap the Trident nuclear defense system. An independent deterrent, he argued, is essential in a world that is changing so rapidly. "We simply don't know what the world will look like in forty years' time."
Brown was quick to join him. He told the Liberal Democrat to "get real." With Iran and North Korea developing a nuclear capacity, it would be irresponsible, said the prime minister, to surrender Britain's nuclear deterrent.
All leaders were glad to present themselves as environmentalists. Brown stood out, though, by expressing concern over Britain's dependancy on oil and wondering why his colleagues weren't more in favor of switching to nuclear. "Any party that is now excluding nuclear power," he said, "is not really thinking about the needs of the future."
Cameron talked about isolating homes instead but Clegg responded and argued that nuclear power is too expensive and would come too late to address the country's modern day energy crisis.
Brown criticized both his colleagues, though particularly Cameron, for supposedly being "anti-American." The Conservatives may want a "big society" at home, said Brown, but their policies will bring about a "little Britain" abroad. He, for one, had managed to get the Americans to promote the G20, apparently, and was altogether more of an internationalist. On the special relationship, Clegg opined that "it shouldn't be a one way street."
To restore faith in Westminster, Clegg proposed extensive reform, including granting people the ability to sack corrupt parliamentarians and redrawing the country's political map which currently leaves the Liberal Democrats with far fewer representatives than their nationwide support would suggest.
Brown argued in favor of an elected House of Lords while Cameron wanted to "cut the costs of politics" but not reform the system too greatly lest the country suffer from "permanent hung parliaments."
20:53 By Nick Ottens
On the role of government, Cameron stressed that the state can't be the answer to everything. He argued for personal responsibility and against punishing people for their success. "If you work hard and save, you actually don't get the government behind you," he complained. Brown retorted that if the Conservatives have their way, it is only the 3,000 richest of Britons who would benefit.
The party leaders discussed pensions, which they all seemed in favor of raising. Cameron blamed Labour for spreading "lies" about the Conservatives taking away entitlements from the elderly. "You should not frighten people in an election campaign," he said.
All three reiterated their positions on economic policy, with Cameron arguing against a "jobs tax" and Brown warning that without government support, thousands of job could be imperiled. "You are a risk to our economy," he told Cameron.
Clegg proposed to split up banks, something that is also discussed in the United States. Brown disagreed. "You don't solve your problems by making banks smaller." Northern Rock was a relatively small business after all and that didn't stop it from going under.
David Cameron positioned the Conservatives as the only party willing to push for significant immigration reform. He criticized Labour for allowing mass immigration throughout its past years in office. Brown largely targeted Clegg though who, he warned, would grant amnesty to all illegal aliens.
In his closing remarks, Brown reminded viewers that he was the one who had managed Britain through the recession. "Don't do anything that puts the economic recovery at risk," he said. The Conservatives would endanger the recovery and leave the country "isolated in Europe." The liberals, on the other hand, would endanger Britain's security by cutting Trident.
Cameron promised to "take the country forward" with "fresh, new leadership." He mentioned traditional Conservative talking points: "keep our country safe," "keep our borders secure" and maintain a strong national defense. "We have incredible days ahead of us," he professed. "We can achieve anything if we pull together and built a big society."
Clegg, naturally, stressed change. "Something really exciting is beginning to happen," he believed. "People are beginning to hope that we can do things differently this time." He urged voters not to let anyone convince them that it can't be different. "It can."

News Briefs: May 26, 2019
U.S. bishops 'gravely disappointed' with House passage of Equality Act
WASHINGTON (CNS) — Five U.S. bishops, chairmen of U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops committees or subcommittees, said May 17 they were "gravely disappointed" with the U.S. House of Representatives passage of the Equality Act. In an 236-173 vote, the House approved the measure, H.R. 5, which would add the new terms "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," as well as "pregnancy … or a related medical condition," to the definition of "sex" in federal civil rights laws, the bishops noted. It also would expand the types of entities covered under those laws and it exempt itself from the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. "Rather than offering meaningful protections for individuals, the Equality Act would impose sweeping new norms that negatively impact the unborn, health care, charitable services, schools, personal privacy, athletics, free speech, religious liberties and parental rights," said the chairmen. Signing the statement were: Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas City, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities; Bishop Frank J. Dewane of Venice, Florida, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development; Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, chairman of the USCCB Committee for Religious Liberty; Bishop Michael C. Barber of Oakland, California, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Catholic Education; and Bishop James D. Conley of Lincoln, Nebraska, chairman of the USCCB Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage.
No more Sunday games for Detroit Catholic parish, school sports teams
DETROIT (CNS) — As part of a new pastoral note encouraging Catholics in the Archdiocese of Detroit to keep Sunday as a day of holiness, rest and family togetherness, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron introduced a new policy requiring Catholic parishes and schools to stop scheduling athletic games and practices on Sundays. "In shifting away from the hustle of required sporting activities on Sunday, we will reclaim this holy day and create more time for families to choose activities that prioritize time spent with each other and our Lord," Archbishop Vigneron wrote in "The Day of the Lord," released May 15 as the fourth in a series of teaching notes supporting the themes of his 2017 pastoral letter, "Unleash the Gospel." The policy, which goes into effect Aug. 1, is not meant to lessen the archdiocese's commitment to youth athletics, said Father Stephen Pullis, director of the archdiocese's Department of Evangelization, Catechesis and Schools. "At the synod, the question came up about how we can best live our life as a Church together, to bear witness to the world about what we believe," Father Pullis told Detroit Catholic, online news source for the archdiocese. "What came through very clearly was that athletics are a wonderful part of the life of our local church, but they've also in some ways taken a disproportionate amount of time and attention for families." He added, "We really needed to say that Sunday is about being for and with the Lord, for and with the family, and for and with those in need."
Top Vatican diplomat grants interview to Chinese Communist tabloid
HONG KONG (CNS) — The Vatican's top diplomat told Chinese state-run media that Vatican-Beijing talks are focused on achieving concrete results for China's Catholics while avoiding differences between the two "systems." Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, granted an exclusive interview to Global Times, an international tabloid run by the ruling Chinese Communist Party, reported ucanews.com. Global Times' special correspondent Francesco Sisci and staff reporter Zhang Yu initially focused questions on the provisional agreement between the Vatican and Beijing regarding bishop appointments, signed Sept. 22. In the interview, Cardinal Parolin said the agreement is a starting point between both parties. "There is confidence that a new phase of greater cooperation can now be opened for the good of the Chinese Catholic community and the harmony of the whole society," Cardinal Parolin said. "The channels of communication are working well. There are elements which demonstrate an increased trust between the two sides," he said. "We are inaugurating a method which appears positive and which will still have to be developed over time, but which, for now, gives us hope that we can gradually arrive at concrete results." The cardinal pointed out what was not being discussed with Chinese officials.
Two attacks in two days leave 10 Catholics dead in Burkina Faso
OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (CNS) — Catholic leaders in Burkina Faso appealed for unity and solidarity after two attacks on Catholics in two days left nine laypeople and a priest dead. "We have been working together for years — Muslims, Protestants, Catholics and followers of traditional religions, always walking hand in hand," said Archbishop Seraphin Rouamba of Koupela. "In view of this, it isn't necessary for such tragic acts to divide us." The archbishop was preaching at the May 13 funeral of Father Simeon Yampa, a diocesan representative for interreligious dialogue, who was shot dead with five parishioners when Islamists attacked their church at Dablo during Mass May 12. Bishop Theophile Nare of Kaya described the murdered Catholics as "martyrs for the faith" and said the "despairing community" had been comforted by a May 13 message of sympathy from Pope Francis. The bishop said those responsible for "barbaric acts at the moment of consecration" were "attacking God himself," who would ultimately triumph if Catholics showed "courage and faith. We must continue to pray, since what is happening today isn't just a war against Christians, but a declaration of war on Jesus Christ," he said.
'Every abuse case one too many,' but confession bill no solution
LOS ANGELES (CNS) — Saying that "confession is sacred to every priest and every Catholic," Los Angeles Archbishop Jose H. Gomez is calling on Catholics to tell their state senators to vote "no" on a bill that "would order priests to disclose information they might hear in confession concerning the sexual abuse of minors." The measure, known as S.B. 360, "is a mortal threat to the religious freedom of every Catholic," he said in a column published May 15 in the Angelus, the archdiocesan news outlet. "Catholics believe that in the confessional, we can tell God everything that is on our heart and seek his healing mercy," Archbishop Gomez said. "The priest is only an instrument; he stands in the 'person of Christ.' We confess our sins — not to a man but to God. "The privacy of that intimate conversation — our ability to speak with total honesty from our lips to God's ear — is absolutely vital to our relationship with God." In California, priests, along with teachers, social workers, doctors and other professionals, are "mandated reporters." That means they are required by law to report any case of suspected abuse to authorities. Currently, there is an exemption in the law for any clergy member "who acquires knowledge or a reasonable suspicion of child abuse or neglect during a penitential communication."
Militant posts video threat, saying he is in Canada to kill Asia Bibi
MANCHESTER, England (CNS) — An Islamic militant has posted a video on the internet boasting that he has arrived in Canada to kill Asia Bibi. The death threat comes a week after Bibi, a Catholic mother of five, was permitted to leave Pakistan for Canada to join her family at a secret address. She had been convicted of blasphemy and spent nearly 10 years on death row until she was cleared by the Pakistan Supreme Court in October, sparking anger among hardline Islamic radicals. In the video, the would-be assassin sings an Islamic chant honoring Muhammad, the founder of Islam, and professes that he is a beloved believer of Islam who will slay "the blasphemer Asia Bibi." The man tells the "enemies of Islam and the Jew government that set Asia Bibi free" that he will kill her, according to a May 14 statement sent to Catholic News Service by the British Pakistani Christian Association. The association also said a number of churches in Pakistan have received threats from militants following Bibi's release May 8.
Vanier funeral highlights God's love for each person
TROSLY-BREUIL, France (CNS) — Gathered in a makeshift chapel around a simple pine casket, members of L'Arche communities and Faith and Light groups from around the world mourned the passing of Jean Vanier and celebrated his life, his wisdom, his holiness and humanity. In a message read at Vanier's funeral May 16, Pope Francis prayed that the L'Arche communities around the world would "continue to be places of celebration and forgiveness, compassion and joy, demonstrating that everyone, no matter his or her disability, is loved by God and called to participate in a world of brotherhood, justice and peace." Vanier died May 7 at the age of 90. During the offertory procession, a little Noah's ark was set on the casket, honoring the name Vanier chose in 1964 when he formed a home with two men with intellectual disabilities, launching a movement that would grow to 154 communities in 38 countries. A large bowl of oranges — and orange peels — also was carried forward. Vanier was known to toss peels to or at community members at the end of a meal. Although subdued in the context of a Mass, peels from the bowl were tossed into the congregation, eliciting laughter and applause.

Parishioners found Father Perez dead in his residence in Juayua early May 18 with a note nearby that said he had not paid "rent," a euphemism for extortion money. Preliminary Salvadoran police reports presume he was killed by gangs. (CNS photo/courtesy of Father Edwin Banos)

Амигдалеонас или Бадем чифлик или Бадемли чифлик (, катаревуса Αμυγδαλεών, Амигдалеон) е село в Гърция, в дем Кавала, област Източна Македония и Тракия.

География
Селото е разположено на надморска височина от 80 m от северозападната страна на прохода между Люти рид и Чалдаг, който води към Кавала.

История

В Османската империя
Селото е основано в средата на XVI век. Малко след 1735 година в него е отворено гръцко училище.

Съгласно статистиката на Васил Кънчов ("Македония. Етнография и статистика") към 1900 година Бадемли Чифликъ е циганско селище с 30 жители.

В Гърция
След Междусъюзническата война в 1913 година селото попада в Гърция. Селото пострадва от Балканските войни и в преброяването от 1913 година не се споменава.

След Първата световна война тук започват да се заселват бежански семейства. През 1927 година името на селото е сменено на Амигдалеонас. До 1928 година броят на заселените бежанци в селото е 409, като те съставят 111 домакинства.

Според българското преброяване от 1941 година селото има 647 жители.

След Гражданската война населението на селото се уголемява.

Населението произвежда тютюн, пшеница, а е развито и скотовъдството в частност краварството.

Armed with Only an iPad and Bluetooth Barcode Scanner
The Power and Performance of Mobile Devices for Point of Sale
The introduction of the Apple iPad and other tablet devices in 2010 has lead to a growing trend on the sales floor. The portability and graphics capabilities of the tablet render it a powerful tool for creating more efficient transactions and improving customer engagement. The iPad has a strong presence at NRF 2011, notably at the Epicor Software Corporation booth (Booth 2105), where the company is demonstrating the power and functionality of its retail applications on the Apple® iPad® device, as well as the Apple® iPhone®.
"The iPad launch made 2010 the year of the tablet. And now tablets are the hottest consumer electronics devices, with new models from several major players just launched last week at the Consumer Electronics Show," said Randy Tofteland, executive vice president, retail software for Epicor. "Today, the ultraportable tablet computer is fast becoming a crucial business and productivity tool for retailers."
Epicor is demonstrating how retailers can place orders, process sales transactions, and support other retail applications such as Business Intelligence, Enterprise Selling and Customer Relationship Management with only an iPad device and a small Bluetooth® barcode scanner.
Offering a powerful computing platform that combines an attractive form factor with relative low cost and ease-of-use, tablets offer retailers a vital tool to improve productivity and decision making from the back office to the point of order entry on the retail floor. What's more, the graphics capability and expanded "real estate" of tablets offer retailers the ability to provide a visually appealing and rich, contextual and collaborative purchasing experience for shoppers.
Consumers Spend More Time Engaged Digitally, Retailers Embrace Mobile Computing
Never before have retailers paid closer attention to consumer technology. According to a recent research report by Gartner, Inc., "The increase of connected devices in consumer hands generally means that the audience and time spent in the 'digital world' are increasing. The impact of that is a growing opportunity for several players to increase their reach." For instance, "Increased mobility of Internet access implies new needs to fulfill, possibly unknown by consumers themselves, especially concerning context and location. Application developers, brands and retailers are all part of this value chain in which revenue growth is guaranteed."1
The benefits of mobility combined with processing speed and power have ushered in a new paradigm for retailers -- in a business where up-to-the-minute access to data necessary to drive decision making is essential, and Epicor has risen to the challenge of supporting these new devices to enhance management of the retail enterprise. When retailers began to leverage Apple iPhone devices as an extension of their computing infrastructure, Epicor responded by providing its retail customers critical functionality such as Business Intelligence optimized to run on iPhone devices, providing real-time information delivery to guide better, faster decision making.
The advent of the iPad and other tablet devices is only anticipated to accelerate adoption of retail mobile computing platforms. Already a number of Epicor retail customers are leveraging tablet devices to improve in store productivity straight through to back office processing, as well as enable the concept of the "extended aisle," where if stock is unavailable in store, it can be ordered directly from a distribution center and either sent direct to the customer or shipped to the store of their choice.
Tofteland says that while he expects many retail vendors to announce support for stand-alone retail applications at NRF, but Epicor offers a distinct value proposition -- tablet support for its full suite of retail functionality, mitigating the need for one-off integration point projects. "Epicor is taking a leadership role in ensuring retailers are fully enabled and supported as they embark on tablet computing initiatives and continue to shape of the future of retailing," he concluded.
Today, many of the world's leading retailers utilize Epicor Retail solutions and services to become more profitable, productive and competitive. Epicor's solutions work with the Microsoft .NET Framework to improve business operations and meet the evolving merchandise and service expectations of today's cross-channel shoppers. Epicor delivers comprehensive retail management solutions to enterprises in all tiers -- from regional chains to multichannel global brands. Retail customers include hundreds of marquee names, from Aéropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, and Ann Taylor to Zales and Zumiez.

State pension age increase brought forward
The rise in the state pension age to 68 is to be brought forward, according to new plans announced by the Government on Wednesday.
Six million people in their 40s will be affected - having to wait a year longer than originally planned to claim their state pension.
The change will affect those born between 6 April 1970 and 5 April 1978.
The changes were announced by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, David Gauke, who told MPs:
"As life expectancy continues to rise and the number of people in receipt of state pension increases, we need to ensure that we have a fair and sustainable system that is reflective of modern life and protected for future generations."
The Age UK reaction
In response to the DWP's announcement that the State Pension age will rise to 68 earlier than planned, Caroline Abrahams, Charity Director at Age UK, said:
"In bringing forward a rise in State Pension age by seven years, the Government is picking the pockets of everyone in their late 40s and younger, despite there being no objective case in Age UK's view to support it at this point in time.
"Indeed, it is astonishing that this is being announced the day after new authoritative research suggested that the long term improvement in life expectancy is stalling.
"For people in midlife and younger their State Pension may seem a lifetime away but the fact is that the change announced today will have a real impact on them later in life.
Continued concern for the over-60s
Caroline Abrahams continued: "Meanwhile, Age UK remains very concerned about the situation of millions of people in their 60s today who are unable to work because of ill health, caring or unemployment; who are having to wait longer for their State Pension than they had reasonably hoped and expected; and who are being thrown back on a benefits regime that was not really designed for them, or forced to draw down savings put away to see them through their retirement."

Google Glass: the horror, the horror
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a human face grinning moronically at the middle distance – forever.
Google has strapped a smartphone to a pair of glasses, and it's very exciting.
To try humanity's brand new toy out, Google is demanding a fee of $1500 from the 800 winners of an online competition. For a chance to win, we're to use the #ifihadglass hashtag to tell them how we'd use the thing. Thousands have eagerly replied that they'll use it to creatively document the actualisation of their synergistic networking strategies – in other words, they've pointed out that Glass isn't actually useful for anything. Actually, there's one thing: it brings the panopticism of the information age to its apotheosis. Everything we do will we supervised; everything we look at will be analysed, all our information will feed into the contextual adverts that will inevitably start to pop up around our semi-virtual landscape. Glass is a technology of individuation, building a dystopically pliant Subject. It also finally euthanises the old, wheezing real world – technology ceases to be a part of existence; existence is now just one aspect of the technology. With Google Glass we can never be alone. We must always be connected. We must always be staring at images. Real people are reduced to holographic simulacra. Real relationships are reduced to digital delusions. And then there's Google's first promotional video, released last year, which dreams of a day when a twat can do some mundane stuff. Around a minute in, you realise that you're supposed to actually identify with the smug self-absorbed protagonist rather than want to cave his head in with a rock. It's an awful, sinking feeling: this is what the rich and powerful think we're like. A world of preening narcissists.
But none of this is what's really revolting about the whole thing. The panopticon was there before; it's the panoptic nature of society that the problem, not the technology itself – the act of putting a camera on your face doesn't inexorably lead to a surveillance society. Glass might provide a retreat from the real world, but so does art and literature and abstract thought itself; authenticity has never really existed. And twats are hardly a recent invention. Still, there remains something horrifying about it, something fundamentally and viscerally wrong.
Imagine this same video, shot from three feet in front of our hero instead of through his eyes. Suddenly, the technology recedes far into the background, and we're left instead with what it's created. We're confronted with a man, hideous in his bodily actuality, sleeping on his sofa, a crusted line of drool running from the side of his mouth, still clothed in a plaid shirt, jeans, and flip-flops. The blinds are open; the pallid light of day shines without mercy on the whole fetid scene. A strange pair of glasses sit at an awkward angle across his face; there are red marks near the bridge of his nose where they've been pressing into his skin. He wakes up with a sudden start. As he does so his glasses whir into life. The man stretches his arms out. "Eeeeuuuuhhhh," he says. His eyes flick back and forth. He's looking at something, but we can't see what it is; it doesn't exist. There's a strange unfocused aspect to them. They're the eyes of a shaman, a prophet, the unblinking eyes of a madman, the staring eyes of a corpse. As he makes coffee his head lolls around and around. He can't focus on anything. "Hng," he says. He stands by a window for a while, looking but not seeing. "Gnunng," he says. Then, shambling, eyes darting, he sets off into the world.
As he walks various grunts plop from his mouth. "Mmmng," he says at a lamppost. "Hnuh," he proclaims to an empty subway station. "Hueergh," he tells a dog. A homeless man ranting in a corner pauses for a moment to observe the man in silent pity: at least he knows how to talk. Our hero carries on: he walks into a bookshop. "Where's the music section?" he bellows – ignoring the plainly visible signs – to the horror of the other customers. As he blunders blind about the place he continues to speak, eyes rolling and darting, shouting at nobody. "Uuuugh," he says. "Oh. Is Paul here yet? Heugh." An employee's hand hovers over the phone. She doesn't want to call the police on a man who's clearly not well, but he's disturbing the customers, stomping and shouting – it's as if he's in his own little world, completely blind to the existence of those around him. Well, not quite: there's someone outside who seems to recognise him; his carer, perhaps. "Hey dude," he says. "How's it going?" They buy coffee from a food truck, but even here his attention is diverted. He stares silently at its tyres for a while. "Cool," he says, eventually, quaveringly. The other man soon leaves. It's hard to blame him.
This tale of woe concludes on a windswept rooftop. Our hero stands by the edge. "Hey," he says. "You wanna see something cool?" There is nobody around. He takes out a ukelele and plays a few twanging chords at the sunset, grinning wildly. He presses himself against the railing. Down on the street, passersby watch the frail form of a ukelele tumbling down the side of a building, buffeted up by the winds and falling down again, and soon after, a human shape, following it into the abyss…
One shambling zombie is a horrifying enough image. The second video, released last week, shows us a whole world of them. The cities are full of wandering people with flickering eyes. Their chatter rises to the clouds, a single monophonic drone. "Glass, record." "Glass, take a photo." "Hueergh." "Glass, connect me." "Hnnnugh." "Glass, sustain me." "Glass, direct me." "Euuh." "Glass, lift me from this pit of ashes and bones. Give me your fire. Let me burn as you burn." Remove their glasses and it's worse: they look at the world with a newborn's bafflement. Where do they go? What do they do? The body is frail and helpless. Without one foot in the eternity of the digital Cloud their skin constricts them. It's unendurable.
Everyone is always elsewhere. They ride rollercoasters. They go ice-skating. They perform in ballets. They don't experience a thing. They're watching themselves watching. The present moment is nonexistent, it's only an electronically aided memory in progress, it's already become the past, even while it's happening. Crowds drift into the roads to be mowed down by distracted drivers. Hundreds are minced up. They don't mind. The rollercoaster slides off its rails; the safety supervisor is watching TV through his glasses. As the car plunges towards the ground its passengers solemnly chorus: "Glass, record a video." Far away, in a reinforced concrete server complex, their last moments will be stored. In these rows of humming computers all of humanity is kept: every second of their lives, documented, processed, regurgitated as consumer profiles and product suggestions. They will leave their record. They will not have died in vain.
Ten years later, children sift for scraps through the rubble of the old world.

On 16 – 17 – 18 March 2018 you can learn the professional management of post production and color correction!
How to get the best results from digital post-production both in Photoshop and in Camera Raw? Alessandro Bernardi explains this through his typical engaging and unconventional lessons.
The "Fotografi in Circolo" association is proud to organize a three-day full immersion workshop to help participants to develop post-production and color correction techniques in the best possible way: topics that become more and more important for contemporary photographers every day.
the first day will be treated all the preliminary knowledge necessary to understand the various techniques, in the second and third days the actual techniques (both basic and advanced) of post-production, photo retouching and color correction will be illustrated.
There are some practical sessions to organize based on the number of participants (single or in pairs). It is therefore recommended to support a laptop to take with you.
The workshop is suitable for those involved in digital post-production in all fields of photography, from landscape images to wedding, to portrait, but also to photo retouching in the broadest sense. It can also be an interesting opportunity to study for those working in the field of graphics and advertising, an area in which the correct approach to digital image processing is essential.
Particular attention will be paid to creative color correction techniques and to the creation of a non-destructive and flexible workflow.
Basic knowledge of Photoshop is required and an orientation questionnaire is provided to be completed before the workshop to maximize learning effectiveness.
In order to be able to actively follow the exercises and practical demonstrations proposed by the teacher, support for a laptop is recommended.
Il 16 – 17 – 18 Marzo 2018 si impara la gestione professionale della post produzione e del color correction!

Baby boomers are getting high in increasing numbers, reflecting growing acceptance of the drug as treatment for various medical conditions, according to a study published Monday in the journal Addiction.
The findings reveal overall use among the 50-and-older study group increased "significantly" from 2006 to 2013. Marijuana users peaked between ages 50 to 64, then declined among the 65-and-over crowd.
Men used marijuana more frequently than women, the study showed, but marital status and educational levels were not major factors in determining users.
The study by researchers at New York University School of Medicine suggests more data is needed about the long-term health impact of marijuana use among seniors. Study participants said they did not perceive the drug as dangerous, a sign of changing attitudes.
The study was based on 47,140 responses collected from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
Joseph Palamar, a professor at the NYU medical school and a co-author of the study, said the findings reinforce the need for research and a call for providers to screen the elderly for drug use.
"They shouldn't just assume that someone is not a drug user because they're older," Palamar said.
Growing use of the drug among the 50-and-older crowd reflects the national trend toward pushing cannabis into mainstream culture. Over 22 million people used the drug in 2015, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Seven states have legalized the drug for medicinal use and collect taxes from sales, according to Marijuana Policy Project, a non-profit advocacy group dedicated to enacting non-punitive marijuana policies across the United States. The drug has also proved to be a financial boon for state economies, generating over $19 million in September in Colorado.
Researchers also uncovered an increasing diversity in marijuana users. Past-year use doubled among married couples and those earning less than $20,000 per year.
More people living with medical conditions also sought out marijuana. The study showed the number of individuals living with two or more chronic conditions who used the drug over the past year more than doubled. Among those living with depression, the rate also doubled to 11.4 percent.
Benjamin Han, assistant professor at the New York University School of Medicine and the study's lead author, fears that marijuana used with prescription drugs could make the elderly more vulnerable to adverse health outcomes, particularly to falls and cognitive impairment.
The push and pull between state and federal governments has resulted in varying degrees of legality across the United States. Palamar says this variation places populations at risk of unknowingly breaking the law and getting arrested for drug possession. The issue poses one of the biggest public health concerns associated with marijuana, Palamar says.
But unlike the marijuana of their youth, seniors living in states that legalized marijuana for medicinal use now can access a drug that has been tested for quality and purity, said Paul Armentano deputy director of NORML, a non-profit group advocating for marijuana legalization. Additionally, the plant is prescribed to manage diseases that usually strike in older age, pointing to an increasing desire to take a medication that has less side effects than traditional prescription drugs.
The study found over half of the users picked up the habit before turning 18, and over 90 percent of them before age 36.
"We are coming to a point where state lawmakers are responding to the rapidly emerging consensus-both public consensus and a scientific consensus — that marijuana is not an agent that possesses risks that qualifies it as a legally prohibited substance," he said.

Greece under siege , deploys army, helicopters, and naval warships to defend Europe from immigrants sent by Turkish regime (video)
Greek NEWS, WORLD News
by Gct
Following the military escalation between the Russian-backed Syrian army and the Turkish regime, combined with announcements from Turkey that it would be making good on previous threats to flood Europe with migrants, Greece has completely sealed off its border with Turkey.
The Greek government has deployed fifty navy warships to protect the Greek islands and ten helicopters to guard land borders against foreign invaders sent by the Erdogan regime, German daily tabloid Bild reports. The army has been called to the northern border.
The seemingly drastic moves come after a veiled threat made by the spokesperson for Turkey's ruling AKP party, Ömer Celik, who earlier had alluded to the fact that Turkey's borders to Europe could be opened.
"Our refugee policy remains the same, but here we have a situation. We can no longer keep the refugees," Celik said.
Although the Turkish government hasn't made an official statement announcing that the border has been opened, a source told journalists from the news agency Reuters that all Turkish border guards, coastguards officer, and police had all been ordered to stand down, Voice of Europe reported.
Turkish journalist Ragip Solyu wrote on Twitter that the Turkish border would be open for the next 72 hours to any and all migrants who would like to make their way to continental Europe.

Windmill Lane studios 'close to break-even point in 2015'

October 22 2015 2:30 AM
The chief executive of Windmill Lane Pictures, James Morris, said yesterday that there has been a real pick-up in his firm's business in the second half of this year after "a difficult year in 2014".
https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/windmill-lane-studios-close-to-breakeven-point-in-2015-34129277.html
https://www.independent.ie/incoming/article30957377.ece/f5e4b/AUTOCROP/h342/The%20Secret%20Scripture%20Fi_11.jpg
Mr Morris was commenting on new accounts that show Windmill Lane Pictures recorded a €679,444 loss last year, after a loss of €273,137 in 2013.
Mr Morris said last year's loss arose from large non-cash depreciation costs of €817,851 "and our cash position is strong".
The post-production firm employs 70 people in Dublin and has recently added the movie 'Brooklyn', Jim Sheridan's 'Secret Scripture' and RTE's 'Rebellion' to its list of credits that includes the five series of 'Love/Hate' and 'The Guarantee'.
"We're in a good space. We have weathered a few difficult years but are now in a position to compete internationally," Mr Morris said
Speaking from Toronto, he said the increase in business in the second half of this year will result in the firm being "very close to break even for this year".
He added: "The first part of the year was similar to last year, but we have seen a real pick-up in the last few months and that is to do with the general pick up in the economy."
Mr Morris said that the increase in business since around July has arose from new commercial work along with new film and drama commissions.
"We survived the recession quite well and remained in a good cash position and now we have re-orientated the business to look at other markets along with the domestic one."
This includes collaborating with animation firms and engaging in more computer-generated imagery (CGI) work.
Mr Morris said staff costs "are substantial and account for over half of our costs, but this is a people business".
PAYE/PRSI payments last year jumped from €58,138 to €106,606.
The directors' report states that there will be a major reduction in depreciation charges in future years which will have a positive impact on the profitability of the company.
The firm's accumulated profits stood at €2.57m while the firm's cash reduced from €1m to €802,594.
In 2009, the company pressed ahead with its €5m move to its new home in Herbert Place in Dublin.
The move was funded by the sale of its famous studios, where U2 recorded five albums.

Thanksgiving is a time for gathering the family together around a table filled with delicious food and give thanks for all of the good things you have enjoyed throughout the year. As you spend time with your family, why not sit down with your kids and create decorations to enhance the beauty of your home and your dinner table? While crafts can be as easy as decorating Thanksgiving coloring pages and pressing autumn leaves, they can also be more elaborate. Whatever activities you choose, the kids will be proud knowing that they contributed to the festive Thanksgiving decorations.
Wash the leaves to remove debris or bug residue. Allow them to dry overnight. Layer the items in the following order: cardboard, newspaper, tissue paper, leaves (not touching each other), tissue paper and newspaper. Finally, top the stack with another piece of cardboard.
You can repeat this stack to press as many leaves as you want. However, don"t stack too high to avoid tipping. Top the stack with a brick or heavy book, and place the stack in a cool, dry place. Let the stack sit for two to four weeks.
Once the leaves have pressed for a few weeks, place them on your table or buffet or glue them to napkin rings or place cards. You can also use this method to press small flowers.
Making napkin rings is another fun Thanksgiving activity to do with kids of any age. You can cut cardboard rings from paper towel or toilet tissue rolls that you have saved. Put a dot of hot glue on a length of ribbon the same width as the tube. Put another dot of glue on the front of the ring, opposite the seam on the back, and affix a small silk flower, a decorative bead or one of your pressed leaves or flowers.
To make the napkin rings more formal, you can use stiff velvet ribbon or tulle and glue it into ring shapes. An even easier idea is to wrap the silverware in a napkin and loosely tie the bundle with the ribbon. Tuck a piece of fresh or silk greenery into the knot and place the bundle on the dinner plate.
If the children who are doing the Thanksgiving crafts are too young to write the guests" names, they can use stickers to decorate a blank place card and you can write the names for them. If the children are a little older, they can use stamps and stamp pads to create their own designs and then write the names themselves.
If you have time and a definite guest list, another good Thanksgiving craft is to make place cards that your guests can take home as gifts. Use your computer"s graphics program to create a Thanksgiving-themed design. Next, print the design on lightweight cardstock and cut out the place card. If you have a small laminator, you can laminate the finished product.
To turn the place card into a magnet that your guests can use when they get home, cut a small piece of the magnetic tape and stick it on the back of the place card.
Thanksgiving can be a wonderful time to get together with family and friends and share the joy of the holidays. By including the kids in your preparations and Thanksgiving activities, you will be creating memories and traditions that they will always cherish.

How about this for the crossover event you never saw coming? Game Of Thrones is returning next week for its final season and to promote the series, Australian broadcaster Foxtel is adding a GOT theme to a series of sporting events this weekend, including the Phillip Island Supersprint round of the Supercars Championship.
That doesn't just mean a bit of extra promotion and branding, either. Drivers who avoid sticking it in The Wall and win the race will get to sit on the Iron Throne after the race - and there will also be a bit of dressing-up going on.

Our spa-inspired office is conveniently located off the highway and offers complimentary parking. We also think you'll appreciate our evening and weekend availability, as well as the dental services and care we provide!
When you come in for your first visit, we will ask you to fill out a New Patient Form and a Medical Form. We will complete a full oral exam in order to help determine your dental needs and review your past medical and dental history.
Does your office accept new patients?
Yes! We welcome anyone who is interested in coming to our office and appreciate any referrals from existing patients to family and friends.
How do I make an appointment with your office?
You can come in and schedule an appointment in person, call our office, or book through our form online. If you book online, our admin team will follow up to confirm your appointment. We strive to make appointment bookings as simple as possible for you!
What is your cancellation or re-scheduling policy?
Our policy is that we need at least 48 hours of notice if a patient is unable to attend an appointment. An appointment is generally reserved for about an hour. With sufficient notice, our office has time to contact another patient who may have wanted to come in during that time frame.
Do you deal with my dental insurance?
Yes, our office is happy to deal directly with your dental insurance as long as they allow assignment of benefits.
Does it really matter is I lose a tooth?
Every tooth in your mouth plays an important role in speaking, chewing and in maintaining proper alignment of your other teeth. Tooth loss isn't restricted to kids and seniors, so if you do lose a tooth, the gap must be filled by a dental implant, bridge or removable denture in order for your mouth to function properly.
At what age should a child get his/her first dental check-up?
The rule of thumb, "first check-up by first birthday," is recommended by the Canadian Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Contact our clinic for more information on baby bottle tooth decay and taking care of your baby's gums even before primary teeth erupt.
A child can visit the dentist as early as the eruption of his or her first tooth, and the child should definitely be scheduled for an examination by the age of 2 or 3, or when the child's baby teeth have all come in. This visit is important because it helps us ensure that brushing at home is being done properly. It also allows us to treat or prevent any oral health complications that the child may have.
When preparing your child for a dental visit, avoid using phrases like "it won't hurt" or "don't be scared," as this may cause your child to feel nervous or afraid.
Our hygienists can help you obtain and maintain a healthy mouth through regular cleanings and may detect a specific reason for bad breath.
Why bother getting a filling in a baby tooth?
Fillings in decayed primary (baby) teeth are recommended because some primary teeth can remain in your child's mouth until the age of 12. If the decay worsens or the tooth gets infected, the tooth may need to be pulled. The new space created can cause the permanent teeth to crowd when they erupt. If the child does lose a tooth to decay, the dentist may recommend a space maintainer to prevent crowding, or perhaps braces in the future.
Therefore, filling decayed primary teeth is often the healthier choice for the child and may save the parent treatment costs in the long run.
Ready to book a visit with our dental team? Contact us today! We look forward to working with you.


Since 1982 I have been drawn to studying healers and healing. I have been fortunate to have taken workshops with and received healing sessions from some nationally and internationally known energy healers. I have also taught Therapeutic Touch in hospitals, hospices, nursing schools and massage schools since 1986.
But nothing in my years of study really prepared me for meeting Behrooz Danadoost.
When I became seriously ill over a year ago, I immediately turned to "alternative" and energy medicine. I saw an acupuncturist, naturopath, osteopath, craniosacral therapist and several experienced energy practitioners. Despite their truly good work, my condition worsened. I was unable to eat solid food, lost weight rapidly, had pain everywhere, and slept only 2-3 hours a night. I was also having anxiety attacks, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, tremendous fatigue and weakness, hair loss and more. Eventually I was not only unable to work, but barely able to function. I also saw a number of medical doctors and had many diagnostic tests. When neither alternative or allopathic practitioners were able to fully diagnose me or help me significantly, I began to lose hope. I had lost 72 pounds, and I could feel that my life force was rapidly fading.
Then an acquaintance mentioned a healer that a friend of hers had seen. It wasn't a strong recommendation, and I wasn't particularly interested. I often felt wonderful after energy healing, but then all my symptoms would just come back. Plus I had tried so many good practitioners that I had just about given up hope. But for some reason, as my health continued to fail, his name kept coming into my mind. So I called his clinic and was sent a number of testimonials. One after another, these letters told of serious and even life- threatening conditions that had been healed through the intervention of a Mr. Behrooz Danadoost, and I decided to make an appointment.
The strongest memory of the first time I saw him was of a deep and all encompassing kindness. Words are really inadequate to describe the beauty and safety of his presence. I felt like someone who had been lost in a stormy sea and finally sees a rescue boat. Behrooz was confident that he would be able to help me and kept reassuring me that I would be fine. The result of the first sessions felt to me like reconnecting with my soul. As we continued, he began to restore the functions of my physical body and my mind. Through hands-on healing and guided meditations, he was not only healing me, but guiding me to let go and continue to heal myself. As time went on, I also began to learn about his own fascinating story.
A remarkable healing journey began for Behrooz when he was diagnosed with leukemia in 1989. He suffered intense side effects from chemotherapy, including grand mal seizures so violent that they caused multiple broken vertebrae, crushed vertebrae and broken ribs. Over the next few years he was also treated with bone marrow transplants and blood transfusions and developed hepatitis B.
On a trip to Iran in 1993, through an unexpected and amazing series of events, he was introduced to Grand Master Healer Ostad Parvarandeh. At that time Master Parvarandeh was so sought after as a healer that people slept in the streets waiting for hours for a chance of seeing him. In later years, Ostad relocated to California where his healings were observed and tested by numerous research institutes including Stanford University, as well as by Dr. C. Norman Shealy, the well-known neurosurgeon who founded the American Holistic Medicine Association, and who has studied many clairvoyants and healers. In his book "Sacred Healing," Shealy published the results of research that showed measurable positive changes in DHEA levels, EEG and cardiac output. These kinds of positive changes were seen even in instances where Ostad was doing distant healing and the patients were many miles away. I have studied with Dr. Shealy and remember him saying that Master Parvarandeh was the most powerful healer he had ever seen.
During this first meeting, Ostad showed him the light. Behrooz experienced what he calls "instantaneous spiritual combustion" enabling him to suddenly let go of all old solid fixations and his "three magic words: logic, logic, logic!" Also, for the first time, he realized that he was clairvoyant. In Ostad's presence he was totally transformed. Behrooz came back to the US but felt compelled to go back to Iran and be with Master Parvarandeh. The healer became his mentor. For forty days he observed everything about Ostad. Not only his incredible healing feats, but also how he spoke, walked, ate and slept. During their time together Ostad Parvarandeh healed him of leukemia and hepatitis B.
When he returned to California, doctors at UCSF were astounded with his progress, and could find no sign of the hepatitis B virus. Behrooz then closed his business in San Francisco, announced that he was beginning his practice as a healer, and waited for patients to arrive. Master Parvarandeh had forbidden him to even have a business card, yet with no advertising at all, he became so busy that he even worked nights.
The next day he cancelled the show and began immediately calling hospices offering to help their patient free of charge. Unfortunately, nobody was interested. He says: " I was so extremely disappointed." But somehow the following morning he began receiving calls from terminally ill patients. The next thing he knew, he was doing healing sessions with five new patients each of whom had been given only a few days to live. As a result, all five lived much longer than expected, and some of them are still alive today. And, in every session with these patients, the embodiment of light and his bodyguards were present.
For almost 9 years now, Behrooz Danadoost has had a successful and very full-time healing practice. He founded the Healing Renaissance Clinic in Novato, California, where he has healed people of many physical and mental illnesses including asthma, esophageal cancer, fibromyalgia, leukemia, lupus, thyroid imbalance, and rheumatoid arthritis to name just a few. The kind of healing he does is able to create profound physical changes. He is able, for example, to regenerate bone, restore the original consciousness of an afflicted area, and shrink or dissolve tumors and cysts. In addition to using energy to make physical change, he can heal mental and emotional conditions and can repair and enhance the aura, chakras, and meridian flows. He does this through both hands-on healing and distant healing sessions.
There are many kinds of energy work where the practitioner acts as a conduit for energy, or removes energy blocks or brings internal energy flows/meridians into balance. All of these are valid and have been helpful for many people. I myself have practiced a number of energy-based modalities. So I intend no disrespect when I say that the healing Behrooz does goes far beyond these.
In addition to his hands-on work, Behrooz uses beautiful meditations to assist in the release of stagnant energies and patterns of belief and thought. These meditations can also help the patient learn to increase the inflow of healthy energy, change their blueprint or genetic tendencies, remove the frequencies of fear, keep thoughts under control, create a moving sanctuary/shield and more. These are all meditations that he has created. Some use familiar imagery, but some are different than anything I've ever experienced, and all are powerful and effective. Using these meditations can assist those who are in the healing fields to help others more effectively, as well as helping them to avoid the tendency to be adversely affected by the illnesses and attitudes of their clients.
Until now, he has only shared this information with private patients and members of local cancer survivor groups. Now he intends to share his meditations and knowledge of healing with a wider range of people by offering a series of workshops. The workshops will be especially helpful for doctors, nurses, naturopaths, bodyworkers, psychotherapists, and other healing professionals, but everyone is welcome and no prior experience is necessary. It will be a unique opportunity to meet this exceptional healer.
This has been the first opportunity I have had to personally experience the work of a master healer on an ongoing basis. The results have been profound. I can now eat and digest solid foods, have gained 20 pounds, am sleeping better, have localized discomfort rather than widespread severe pain, and have more physical strength and vitality. My hair is no longer falling out, my mind is clearer and memory is much improved. I look (and feel) years younger, and am calmer and much happier. More than just regaining my health, I am regaining the best and brightest aspects of myself; some of which have been hidden or forgotten for years.
Behrooz Danadoost stands out as one of the most skillful healers and compassionate human beings I have ever met. I have been consistently impressed with his abilities, his knowledge, and his integrity. I am made humbly aware, in the face of what I am learning from him, how much more there is to know about energy and healing.
Mostly I simply feel blessed to know him.
