Discover the Love of God in New Memoir From Xulon Author

August 10, 2012     No comments


Maitland, FL (PRWEB) July 19, 2012

Within the pages of Alicia Barber?s memoir, Born Rejected ($ 16.99, paperback, 978-1-62230-450-9; $ 26.99, hardcover, 978-1-62230-451-6; $ 8.49, eBook, 978-1-62230-452-3), readers will walk right alongside the author as she shares her unpredicted downward spiral in her life. The author describes in true transparency the list of her destructive behaviors including, alcoholism, drug use, immoral sexual relationships, an abortion and idolizing whatever mattered to her most at that particular moment. She had come from a loving family, lived in a nice neighborhood, had a nice house and so much to be thankful for, but it took a lot of hard life lessons before she realized that the life she was living was in fact keeping her from the life she desperately wanted.

?I hope [readers] take my real life experiences and realize that the bad decisions I made [were] because I did not fully understand the reasons why God placed them there until I experienced my life without Him first,? states Barber. ?I am part of a statistic by becoming a single mother on welfare with two kids who have very little chance in making in successfully in the life I was living. When God called me to a place where I hit my lowest, I was starving for change. He gave me His way of life and transformed my whole life. God accepted me into His kingdom.?

Alicia Barber wholeheartedly admits that this book would not have been possible if God had not called her to a church that embraces all the gifts of God and His truth. Her writing expertise is a divine inspiration from God alone. Today, Barber serves as one of God?s ministers to single mothers and the children of a fatherless generation. Most importantly, she desires to share her challenges and trying experiences to speak to those who seek to find the path toward God.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the world?s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 8,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Born Rejected through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

New DWI Laws Strip Rights, Endanger Lives, Charlotte DUI Lawyer Says

August 08, 2012     No comments


Charlotte, North Carolina (PRWEB) July 18, 2012

Tennessee legislature has passed changes to drunk driving laws, making penalties much heavier and giving law enforcement a new tool to gather evidence.

A similar ?Implied Consent? law, NCGS ? 20-16.2, is already in effect in North Carolina. Such statutes are aimed to make the state’s highways safer, but can lead to some dangerous situations according to North Carolina traffic law attorney Bill Powers.

The bill passed by the legislature appears to serve two major goals: stiffer punishments for anyone with a minor in the car while driving under the influence of alcohol, and giving police officers the right to draw blood.

In the state of North Carolina, any person who drives a vehicle on a highway or public area, is deemed to have ?given consent? to a chemical analysis if properly charged with an impaired driving offense. Specifically, one can be requested to submit to a sample if Probable Cause exists to believe the accused has committed an implied consent offense.

?There are a number of rights at play,? stated Powers, whose firm Powers McCartan, pllc handles DUI / DWI & Serious Felony Impaired Driving cases throughout the state of North Carolina. ?These issues can be very complicated, especially considering the intrusive nature of such testing. North Carolina law authorizes in some instances ?compelled? testing.??

Requests for breath samples and blood testing are the standard protocols, where failure to comply results in a one year willful refusal revocation, ?Compelled blood testing, which is different from an implied consent demand for sample, can be scary. We?ve seen clients whom have been wrestled to the ground and threatened with serious physical injury simply because of their terrible fear of needles.?

Powers adds ?Once someone refuses to provide a breath sample, the most appropriate methodology is to seek a warrant. Given that North Carolina allows for retrograde extrapolation of blood test results, it would be much better and Constitutional to involve an independent judicial official. We are dealing with factual issues that would shock the conscience of the founders of the United States. But for North Carolina, we likely wouldn?t have a Bill of Rights. It is ironic that we are a leading state seeking to preclude unreasonable searches and seizures.?

About Bill Powers:

Bill Powers, managing partner of the law firm of Powers McCartan PLLC, and is a board certified Criminal Law Specialist by the National Board of Legal Specialty Certification. Named Lawyer of the Year in 2011 for DWI/DUI in Charlotte, North Carolina by US News and World Report, he is also listed in Best Lawyers in America for the consecutive years of 2010 ? 2012.

Donald B. Dedrick Insurance Agency Encourages New York Residents to Practice Proper Pool Safety

August 08, 2012     No comments


Dover Plains, New York (PRWEB) July 18, 2012

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about ten people die every day from unintentional drowning. July is notorious for being one of the hottest months, and many people seek relief by taking a dip in the pool, so Donald B. Dedrick Insurance Agency is offering important pool safety tips to keep residents safe and help prevent them from making a claim on their home insurance.


????Don?t drink and swim. Relaxing by the pool with an alcoholic beverage in hand may seem like a great idea, but residents should never get in a pool under the influence of alcohol. The risks associated far outweigh what may seem like a great time.

????Keep a close eye on children. Even if children know how to swim, they could still drown due to running around the pool, slipping or bumping their head and falling in. Also be sure to have some kind of fencing all the way around pool area. This will keep children out of harm?s way when pool time is over.

????Take swimming lessons. No matter what age residents are, it?s always a good idea to learn how to swim from a professional or just brush up on swimming skills. Swimming lessons can give more confidence in the pool and lessen the likelihood of an insurance claim due to swimming accidents.

By being cautious and aware, residents can greatly reduce their chances of getting hurt or having to make a claim on their home insurance in New York. The state tends to get pretty steamy in the summer, so residents should be safe and enjoy cooling off in their pools!

Chicago-Area Holocaust Museum Honors Polish Hero as ?Righteous Among The Nations?

August 07, 2012     No comments


Skokie, Illinois (PRWEB) July 18, 2012

Witness the honorable Consul General of Israel to the Midwest Orli Gil posthumously honor Polish citizen Katarzyna (Kasia) Moroz as ?Righteous Among the Nations,? Israel?s highest honor. Yad Vashem?s Commission for the Designation of the Righteous is deeming Kasia Moroz as Righteous Among the Nations in recognition of her courageous efforts to rescue her Jewish friend, Ella Zharkover, from Nazi persecution. Accepting the award on Kasia?s behalf at the Museum?s Ferro Fountain of the Righteous will be her grandson, Mr. Mark Terlecki. Additional members of Kasia?s family and the honorable Deputy Consul General of Poland Robert Rusiecki will also offer their reflections.

Kasia Moroz lived in the village of Kozaki, Poland during World War II. In 1942, she was contacted by Ella Zharkover, a Jewish friend from Zbaraz, Galitzia, for help. Shortly after the German occupation of Zbaraz, Ella heard word of an operation targeting Jewish intelligentsia, and as a Jewish lawyer, she realized she needed to escape. Kasia took Ella and her three-year old daughter into her home in October of 1942, telling her husband and children that Ella was a relative from a distant city. Kasia attempted to obtain a working permit for Ella from the local workers department so that she would be immune from potential German labor recruitment, but the officer suspected that Ella was a Jew and refused to issue the certificate to the ?Jewish Pig.?

Kasia?s husband was unaware that he was hosting a Jew in his home until this point. Mr. Moroz was an alcoholic, and in his drunken state, publicly announced that his wife was giving shelter to a Jew and her daughter. The head of the village came to investigate this claim, and at the moment of truth, Kasia stood up to protect Ella and her daughter. She profusely denied that Ella was a Jew, proclaiming that if the head of the village were to give Ella and her daughter over to the Germans that she, Kasia, and her four children would go as well. In June, 1943, Ella decided that she would move to a new location, one where she wouldn?t be recognized. Kasia took her to her married daughter?s home in Lopatyn, Ukraine, telling her daughter that Ella was a distant relative. Ella worked there as a cook on a farm that was run by the German civil government until the liberation of Poland in 1944.

The ceremony honoring Kasia?s heroic efforts will be held in the midst of the Museum?s annual Summer Institute, teaching educators from around the world?including Polish educators Krzysztof Niwi?ski and Ewelina Be?ko-Kaczkowska?about the Holocaust and contemporary genocide. The focus of the teacher workshop on July 19th will be efforts of resistance to Nazi persecution and those righteous gentiles who risked their lives to rescue Jews. Featured speaker John Krawiec, a non-Jewish Polish survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, will speak about his experiences during the war in resisting the Nazis and publishing an underground bulletin.

Likely the last international institution of its kind built with the active participation of Holocaust survivors, the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is the largest facility in the Midwest dedicated to preserving the memories of those lost in the Holocaust and to teaching current generations to fight hatred, indifference and genocide in today?s world.
