Paul Myhre’s New Book, “Canceling the Ten Commandments,” is a Faith-Based Read That Brings to Light the Ongoing Erosion of Christian Morals and Values in Modern America

Thornton, CO, February 07, 2023 — Fulton Books author Paul Myhre, who has studied many ministers and godly men with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, has completed his most recent book, “Canceling the Ten Commandments”: an eye-opening exploration at how modern society is seeking to persecute those who wish to follows God’s holy laws as outlined within the Ten Commandments.

“In the following pages, I will show and demonstrate the current political climate to cancel the Ten Commandments and religion altogether,” writes Myhre. “Persecution of Christians goes on all over the world and is just beginning here. Anyone who thought that Christians and other religions were free from persecution here in America is simply fooling themselves.”

Myhre continues, “My hope is that this writing will raise people from their sleeping and begin to answer God’s call to battle. Be sure we are in a battle for the hearts, minds, and souls of everyone, and it is the duty and responsibility of Christians everywhere to spread the good news and fight the forces of Satan.”

Published by Fulton Books, Paul Myhre’s book is an enlightening read that highlights how Christians are being treated around the world, specifically in America as society holds less and less regard for God’s laws. Through his writings, Myhre calls out to his fellow followers of God in the hopes of uniting in the fight against Satan and restoring the moral code of the Ten Commandments.

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “Canceling the Ten Commandments” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

UNIA-ACL Baltimore Division 106 Responds to the Death of Tyre Nichols

Baltimore, MD, February 07, 2023 — On January 7, 2023, five Black police officers from the Memphis Police Department beat up a 29-year-old black man Tyre Nichols, during a traffic stop. He was hospitalized and died 3 days later.

In response to the tragedy, President Everett Winchester of the UNIA-ACL Baltimore Division 106 Barca-Clarke released the following statement:

“First of all, we are sending love and prayers to the family, friends, and associates of our young brother Tyre Nichols. Our UNIA-ACL Division 106 Barca-Clarke just protested Thursday, 1/26/2023 for officers to be charged in the death of the unarmed young man Donnell Rochester. Donnell was shot and killed unarmed. Then to see the video footage of our young brother Tyre, I can only explained it as an execution! While more information comes out about the unlawful traffic stop, to see the gruesome video was horrendous. I can only envision the thoughts, fear, and bewilderment he had. No one deserves such a brutal and unjustified beating. The police are suppose to protect our rights. It was an abuse of authority, power, and a lack of respect for the community.

“We demand justice. This incident did not happen because of a lack of judgement. This was not a simple mistake. This was an example of bad policing. This shows a police culture that deals with black people differently from other races. There is no other way to call it. It was torture! It was an unnecessary beating of a man. The police showed no ethics, and from the beginning of the traffic stop the police were immoral. We are asking that the black communities everywhere stand up and show support for the family. We cannot be quiet while this type of abuse is happening on the daily. This murder is not just a civil rights issue. The culture of the police needs to me more than questioned, it needs to be changed. You would think that black police officers would have a better understanding. I am afraid that our community will start normalizing Police brutality just as it seems we have normalized the violence in our community. This incident seems to be a police culture and training issue. We must fight for truth and fight for what the laws should be doing. Protecting us!

“One God! One Aim! One Destiny!

“The Universal Negro Improvement Association- African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) is a charitable, educational, friendly, humanitarian, institutional, social, constructive, expansive society Founded by the honorable Marcus Garvey. The motto of the organization is ‘One God! One Aim! One Destiny!’ Therefore, let justice be done to all mankind, realizing that if the strong oppresses the weak confusion and discontent will ever mark the path of man, but with love, faith and charity towards all the reign of peace and plenty will be heralded into the world and the generations of men shall be called blessed. The Baltimore division is named after General Hannibal Barca and Dr. John Henrik Clarke. Our Baltimore division has main mission is attending to the task of helping and healing our people in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area.

“We follow the teachings of The Honorable Marcus Garvey to build Solidarity, Strength and Self-Sufficiency in our Communities.

Morrissey Goodale AE Firm Survey Reveals More Raises in Store for Architects and Engineers and the Outlook for 2023 is Positive

Natick, MA, February 07, 2023 – According to a January 2023 survey of 200 AE firm executives conducted by management consulting firm, Morrissey Goodale, 70% of the AE firm respondents are anticipating that 2023 will be “an even better year than 2022,” which was a record year for many AE industry firms across the country.

In the survey, 77% of respondents say talent acquisition and retention is the primary constraint on performance. As a result, AE firms expect they will continue to increase salary compensation. Respondents did reveal that bonuses may not increase at the same rate as they did in 2022.

Other AE firm survey respondent highlights include:

AE Firms Plan Salary Budget Increases for 2023:

  • · Over half (55%) of respondents plan salary increases of between 6% to 9%.
  • · Forty-one percent of firms are budgeting raises of between 1% to 5%.
  • · Three percent of firms plan on salary increases of 10% or more.
  • · Architecture and AE firms are planning for lighter raises in the 1% to 5% range than their Engineering and EA peers who are budgeting 6% to 9%.
  • · A greater percentage of firms with 1,000 employees or more are budgeting in the 1% to 5% range, compared with their smaller peers.
  • · Surveying/Mapping firms anticipate a 6% to 9% increase raise in raises this year.

AE Firms Predict 2023 Bonus Environment to be Same as 2022:

  • · Nearly half (48%) percent of respondents anticipate that bonuses will be about the same in 2023 as they were in 2022.
  • · Ten percent of respondents expect their payout for bonuses to be lower.
  • · Forty-two percent anticipate spending more on bonuses in 2023 compared with 2022.

“The AE industry continues to navigate unprecedented change at the intersection of four generational trends – not enough talent to meet demand, a great and on-going recapitalization, rapid technological advances, and massive public sector demand for services,” says Mick Morrissey, managing principal at Morrissey Goodale. “The winners will be those firms that make the investments needed now to secure the talent to meet short-term production needs and longer-term leadership development and firm transition initiatives.”

Nova USA Wood Products Named Exclusive U.S. Provider of Rhino Wood

Portland, OR, February 7, 2023 –— Nova USA Wood Products, Inc., a leading supplier of high-quality wood products and accessories, has been named the exclusive provider of Rhino Wood in North America. Rhino Wood is a modified timber produced through a patented two-stage process that uses thermal modification and pressure to impregnate the original wood right to the core with a proprietary compound. This patented process results in the perfect sustainable alternative to hardwoods like Ipe. Rhino Wood achieves the same high-density, low-maintenance, and Class 1 durability characteristics as Ipe hardwood while aging beautifully into a silver-grey color over time.

“Rhino Wood is the ideal complement to our premium line of exotic hardwood decking and siding products,” said Steve Getsiv, the company’s CEO. “Many of the hardwoods that were previously used throughout the marketplace are now either scarce or prohibitively expensive. Rhino Wood is the latest example of our efforts to meet customer needs with high-quality woods that will stand the test of time with beauty and great structural integrity.”

“Nova USA Wood Products offered everything we wanted in a U.S. partner,” added Steven Suntup, Rhino Wood’s U.S. representative. “They have an extensive distribution network that extends from the U.S. into Mexico and Canada. Plus, they know the true value of innovation and the need to continually meet client needs with premium products that look great and perform exceptionally well no matter the climate. This includes providing a large variety of cost-effective alternatives to the hardwoods that are increasingly becoming cost-prohibitive and less available.”

Rhino Wood’s patented thermal heat and pressure impregnation process was specifically developed to double the hardness and density of sustainably-sourced South African Pine species. Durable and stable, Rhino Wood is the ideal choice for outdoor applications with products including decking, fencing, and siding, as well as posts, laminated beams, and custom patterns such as beaded ceilings and T&G porch flooring. Rhino Wood will be offered in patterns that fit perfectly with Nova’s patented line of hidden decking clips and rain screen siding clips.

In addition to being biodegradable and containing zero toxins and no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Rhino Wood can also be disposed of like any other untreated wood. Other advantages include the ability to resist dents, scratches, surface damage, moisture, swelling, shrinkage, insects, UV degradation, rot, and decay.

Rhino Wood will be available from Nova USA Wood Products in early 2023. For more information, please visit www.novausawood.com or call 503-419-6407.

Regulations covered in the eBook include HIPAA, ISO 20387, 21 CFR Part 11, EU GDPR, ISBER & NCI Best Practices. It also delineates laws pertaining to the use of biosamples, data protection, and clinical trials in the EU, Finland, the UK, France, Germany, China, Brazil, and India. Finally, the eBook sheds light on how a LIMS can help biobanks meet compliance goals and follow quality standards with ease.

What is included in the eBook:

– The importance of regulatory compliance for biobanks
– Types of biobanks
– Regulatory requirements for biobanks such as GDPR, HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 20387:2018, ISBER & NCI Best Practices
– The regulatory framework of biobanks worldwide
– How can a LIMS help biobanks meet compliance needs?
– How to select the right LIMS for your biobank?
– Why cloud-based LIMS for biobanks?
– How can digital solutions transform biobanking?

“This eBook provides a 360-degree overview of biobanking regulatory requirements,” said Arun Apte, CEO at CloudLIMS. “The guide doesn’t offer simple generalizations but carefully and exhaustively delineates regulations governing the biobanking industry and what it takes to comply with them. Anyone can download this online book for free,” he continued.
