BE THE HERO AND RESCUE YOURSELF, New Book Teaches Us How to Create the Inner Courage to Wear Our Own Cape

DALLAS, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Have you ever wished a superhero would come down and rescue you in those chaotic moments in your life? The truth is, the only person who can save each of us is ourselves. Now, Author Kelly Fuhlman says, «It’s time to dust off your cape, and step into your purpose and healing as your own hero in her new book BE THE HERO AND RESCUE YOURSELF: Creating the Inner Courage to Wear Your Own Cape (Clovercroft Publishing, August 4, 2020).

From dyslexia, drug addiction, and trauma, there were many times when Fuhlman didn’t think she would make it. Even in times of great success, she still felt lost. The truth is the only person who can save each of us is ourselves. Through her journey, Fuhlman shares how to seize back your life from waiting for the hero to becoming your own.

Have you ever had someone tell you that you aren’t smart enough? Intelligence isn’t what gets you through life. It isn’t what determines success, and, of course, beauty isn’t either. It’s grit, perseverance, purpose, and hard work. You are what determines what you can do.

New York Times bestselling author, Top 100 Podcast in the World with The School of Greatness, and former athlete, Lewis Howes says, «Whatever voice you have in between your ears, make sure it’s not your own worst enemy; make it your biggest cheerleader.«

No matter what the condition of your life, or your heart, Fuhlman invites readers to journey together with her to see proof that no matter how far you fall, you can get back up. You can be courageous and Be the Hero and Rescue Yourself!

«Each one of us has an evolution that occurs over time,» she says. «Are we who we were a decade ago? So many things change through time, experience, tragedy, and joy. What we take away from each challenge makes us, hopefully, grateful for what we have learned along the way.

Life is not built on ten easy steps, and what happens when those steps rot, break, or even disappear? Inside this book are lessons (not chapters) that Fuhlman shares of her life experiences. She says, «When we become our own hero, and those steps rot or even disappear from underneath us, we find the power to put on our own cape and fly right over them to the next chapter of our lives.»

Life is and will continue to be hard. People will try to hold you down or make you feel less than worthy in an effort to elevate themselves. So often we defeat ourselves before we even start, and we end up walking away from a blessing, opportunity, or amazing people because our inner voice says no, stop, they will make fun of you, or you will fail.

Fuhlman implores to readers to, «Be your own cheerleader. Look in the mirror and say, ‘Let’s get fired up’ or give yourself a little wink every once in a while. It is called self-love.» Further adding, «Invest in yourself and surround yourself with great people who can support you and give you that swift kick when you need it. Iron sharpens iron (Prov. 27:17 NIV). The key is the people you choose to hold your feet to the fire.»

This book was written as a kind of tool that you can write in. Be inspired to ask yourself those hard questions and truly change your life for the better. The intent is for readers to learn how to apply the concepts of life, business, and relationships to become your very own hero.

Marler Clark, the Salmonella Lawyers, file the first Red Onion Salmonella Lawsuit against Thomson International

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Marler Clark filed the first Salmonella Lawsuit linked to Salmonella Newport – tainted…

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Marler Clark filed the first Salmonella Lawsuit linked to Salmonella Newport – tainted Onions from Thomson International of Bakersfield.  Marler Clark, national Salmonella attorneys, are working with Craig Murphy of Murphy & Murphy on behalf of Keith Robert Willis of San Diego who became sick on July 1 with Salmonella Newport after consuming Thomson red onions.  Mr. Willis continues to be ill.

Investigators in the U.S. and Canada have been collaborating to identify the source of this outbreak. On July 30, 2020, Canadian health officials announced that they had determined red onions from the U.S. to be the potential source of the Canadian outbreak. The Canadian investigation has also prompted a recall warning by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Building on this information, and on epidemiologic information on the U.S. outbreak from CDC, the FDA’s traceback investigation was able to identify Thomson International, Inc. as a likely source of contaminated red onions in the U.S. There have, to date, been 396 reported cases in the United States and 114 in Canada.

United States:

Total Illnesses: 396
Hospitalizations: 59
Illness Onset Date Range: July 12, 2020
States with Cases: AK (6), AZ (14), CA (49), CO (10), FL (3), ID (5), IL (10), IN (2), IA (15), KS (1), KY (1), ME (4), MD (1), MI (23), MN (10), MO (6), MT (33), NE (5), NV (5), NY (4), NC (3), ND (5), OH (7), OR (71), PA (2), SC (1), SD (11), TN (5), TX (1), UT (61), VA (4), WA (2), WI (5), and WY (11).

Canada:

Total Illnesses: 114
Hospitalizations: 16
Illness Onset Date Range: Mid-June and mid-July 2020.
Provinces with Cases: British Columbia (43), Alberta (55), Manitoba (13), Ontario (2), and Prince Edward Island (1).

Thomson International, Inc. of Bakersfield, California is recalling Red, Yellow, White, and Sweet Yellow Onions shipped from May 1, 2020 through the present. The onions are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

Additional Resources:

Marler Clark, The Food Safety Law Firm, is the nation’s leading law firm representing victims of Salmonella outbreaks. The Salmonella lawyers of Marler Clark have represented thousands of victims of Salmonella and other foodborne illness outbreaks and have recovered over $750 million for clients.  Marler Clark is the only law firm in the nation with a practice focused exclusively on foodborne illness litigation.  Our Salmonella attorneys have litigated Salmonella cases stemming from outbreaks traced to a variety of foods, such as cantaloupe, tomatoes, ground turkey, salami, sprouts, cereal, peanut butter, and food served in restaurants.  The law firm has brought Salmonella lawsuits against such companies as Cargill, ConAgra, Peanut Corporation of America, Sheetz, Taco Bell, Subway and Wal-Mart.

Lila Karoub’s New Book «Marnie’s Journals» Is a True Story About a Woman Who Participates in Two Decades of Crime-Related Activities that End Up Going Too Far

DEL MAR, Calif., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Lila Karoub, a retired psychotherapist, has completed her new book «Marnie’s Journals»: an intriguing work that is a true case study of a colleague that loses everything she worked for and tries to end her life.

DEL MAR, Calif., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Lila Karoub, a retired psychotherapist, has completed her new book «Marnie’s Journals»: an intriguing work that is a true case study of a colleague that loses everything she worked for and tries to end her life.

Karoub writes, «I walk around my home and wonder what is next for me. My life is not private any longer, and the state of California, my dream state, is not what it once was. It will never be a private life again for as long as I live. I had a dream to come out to California and start a new life from a small town in Michigan. I was in my mid-twenties, and when I mention this to a Michigan niece, which I was just a bit older than her when I left Michigan, she can’t believe it. It was what the dreamers did, the baby boomer era. Some of us made it, and others couldn’t manage the dream. I never feared the unknown and always welcomed difficult challenges since childhood. I was born this way. It was a dream, and then I woke up in California, a piece of paradise on earth. My paradise turned into fear, anguish, and a nightmare that no one should ever have to go through or endure this type of experience. I was this person who accomplished my dreams, and now I am this other person that tries to wake up from a recurring nightmare. The latter has become a permanent part of me. Who am I?»

Published by Page Publishing, Lila Karoub’s jarring work details how the death of one of the men in Marnie’s life would change Marnie’s course and stop her dead in her tracks to consider her actions. After this death, her life takes a dangerous turn into a life of crime for two decades.

Marnie’s Journals is a story about multiple men, manipulation, deceit, dishonor, and mayhem. This client was under a major criminal investigation while in mental health treatment for over five years. Ms. Karoub uses the client’s personal journals and real-life events for this story to describe a road to crime, chronic depression, mental disorders, and suicidal thoughts that lead to a near-fatal overdose of opiates. Ms. Karoub devotes all her time and energy into this one case, as it would take this to help the client gain strength to move forward into a life without chaos.

Author Thomas Guthrie’s new book «Leaders Create the Environment» is a practical and thought-provoking guide to establishing an effective leadership culture

KANSAS CITY, Kan., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Thomas Guthrie is a retired US Army infantry officer who commanded units from company level to brigade, served as the chief of staff, 25th Infantry Division over twenty-eight years of service, and ended his career as the director of the Center for Army Leadership.

KANSAS CITY, Kan., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Thomas Guthrie is a retired US Army infantry officer who commanded units from company level to brigade, served as the chief of staff, 25th Infantry Division over twenty-eight years of service, and ended his career as the director of the Center for Army Leadership. He has published his new book «Leaders Create the Environment»: a compelling argument for the application of values imperative for success in the military environment in any corporate, athletic, or social organization.

Based on his 28 years of Army service in infantry units, Tom Guthrie suggests that leaders of any organization (military, business, sports, etc.) are responsible for creating the environment that enables the organization to succeed and the members in it are developed so that they have future success.

While many senior executives are capable of providing their organization a vision and even a strategy on how to get there, not many give that same amount of intellectual energy into what they want their organization to «feel» like; describing the environment that they know will get them to that vision. Tom Guthrie believes that the environment is a function of Organizational Values, the Climate, and the Culture and that the leader «owns» all of it.

E = f (Values + Climate + Culture)

This is not a theoretical, rub your chin in deep thought type of book. Tom uses personal and professional examples from his career to bring this idea to life and then offers a practical example of the environment he created while commanding hundreds and even thousands of Soldiers.
Published by Page Publishing, Thomas Guthrie’s engrossing book is an invaluable resource for leaders and managers in any corporate, military, or social environment.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase «Leaders Create the Environment» at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Eye Level, a global leader in the education industry, is proud to announce the successful completion of the 2020 Eye Level Literary Award for children between the ages of 4 and 15. Participants have submitted their Writing and Illustrated Writing entries online, and the judging process to select the North American winners and the global finalists has now begun.

The Eye Level Literary Award (ELLA), sponsored by DAEKYO Culture Foundation, has been a pillar of the Eye Level community for the past two decades. Through the awards, Eye Level seeks out children with creativity and excellence in storytelling to encourage and acknowledge their talent. Depending on their age, registered contestants will have to produce either a drawing with a 50-word caption or a 3 to 4 page written response.

Last year’s event saw more than 15,000 participants across 10 countries submit applications. This year the contest has migrated online so that children can participate in this prestigious event—even during the pandemic. The event’s continuation during a pandemic was one of the top priorities for Eye Level. Whether in drawing or writing, children from multiple backgrounds and experiences can continue to call upon the Muses to submit their ideas online.

By the end of August, North American judges will select the winners for the USA and Canada, as well as the global finalists.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In their passion and ambition to continually care well for current, prospective, and future students, Sullivan teamed up with Hatfield Media to design and develop a new website. While many campuses are being forced to close as a result of Covid-19, the updated website is only expected to enhance Sullivan’s already extensive online learning offerings and capabilities.

Powerful, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing websites are imperative to optimum student service in an increasingly digital age. Eric Short, Director of Marketing and Enrollment Management Analytics at Sullivan University, described their motivation as a «desire for a new and refreshed look, better load time, and increased engagement with prospective students.»

Hatfield’s Director of Graphic Design, Shayne Hiles, worked closely with Short to develop an aesthetic for the new website. Their vision was to capture the time-honored brand and logo of Sullivan University, as well as to develop a fresh concept for the individual colleges.
Along with designing a new mini-brand for each Sullivan college, the university brand palette was expanded to include purple and yellow, in addition to the iconic «Sullivan Green.» The end result being a website that offers «menu functionality, a ‘look’ that everyone likes, is seamless, and steps up the game,» says Hiles.

On top of faster load times and structured site organization, the web development team seized the opportunity to exceed expectations, building a site with powerful capabilities. Ray Tri, Lead Back End Developer, recalls, «One of the more exciting things was how we were able to diagnose opportunities for growth.» Spearheading the use of our new custom development platform, the website was able to outperform all previous standards and «give Sullivan an enterprise-class website with more features,» adds Tri. The final product was a great site that loads quickly, provides all the information prospective students need, and offers a pleasant, intuitive navigation experience.»

Sullivan University has been a pioneer, innovator and leader in online education for over 20 years, driven by a keen understanding that not everyone’s life fits into an average college schedule.»Our programs feed into the careers that are in high demand in hiring today,» said Sullivan University President and CEO Dr. Jay Marr. «While we may have to remain distant from each other, our online programs make it easy for students to start or complete their education on their terms.»

«Online learning is inherently flexible,» said Dr. Teresa Daniel, Dean of the Human Resource Leadership Programs at Sullivan. «It’s on your terms. Just like with courses on campus, there are weekly assignments that must be completed. But with online classes you have the flexibility to make your own schedule and get the work done when it works for you.» Taking care to design their courses so that they contain cutting edge information, Daniel says that, «We make sure that they are facilitated by scholar-practitioners with significant real-world experience.» Dr. Daniel says students get the best of both worlds with that combination: The theory, what is known about a topic; and the practice, which is how to apply it.

«Our online classes are always open, and our faculty will answer your questions in a timely manner,» Dr. Daniel says. «Online students have full access to on-campus resources, and our library resources are available online. In addition, our faculty are highly dedicated and will always make time to set up a call when you need it.» With a current emphasis on essential workers and businesses during the pandemic, it is important to note that many of Sullivan’s online programs can lead to essential careers in areas such as Justice and Public Safety or Logistics and Transportation Management. «All it takes to get started,» she said, «is a computer and access to the Internet, strong time-management skills, and the motivation to succeed.»

Sullivan’s online programs are developed by professional instructional designers who work with faculty to develop curriculum and courses offered through Blackboard, Sullivan’s Learning Management System. Blackboard allows instructors to connect with students via Collaborate, a videoconferencing function similar to Zoom. Offering online classes on a convenient, 11-week schedule with four start dates each year, the upcoming fall quarter begins on September 28th.
