Dreams Do Come True by Joseph Gentry

Dreams do come true if we first understand the substance of our beings and then take the risks associated with living our lives and pursuing our dreams to their ultimate potential.

It is my long held belief that we should not only be happy in our chosen vocation but also be doing what it is the Lord has gifted us to do. We all deserve to feel like we are successfully participating in a common cause, that we are accomplishing something meaningful and that we are fulfilled in the process. We not only get our life’s energy from the people we meet and the relationships we maintain, but we also come alive in living a life which is scripted in line with the skills, the qualities and the attributes given to us and ultimately designed by God. Dreams do come true if we first understand the substance of our beings and then take the risks associated with living our lives and pursuing our dreams to their ultimate potential. The key is to discover your skills and then figure out how you can best use these qualities in the most effective and productive ways. True happiness lies in excelling in that which you are gifted and talented to do. Your dreams will come true if you begin to seek a path that allows for your personal human qualities to be utilized in pursuing your dreams.

About Joseph Gentry

After having worked in and around academia for the majority of my career, I have been witness to many learning experiences throughout my time here. Many people come to academia with a desire to learn, but they don't always know what it is they are seeking. Some seem to think they have to pick an area, get the degree and then the job and then the paychecks will start rolling in. Others spend their entire career in a field where they are not valued and satisfied. Few people spend the time discovering their qualities and skills and then follow path based on who it is they really are; who God created them to be. I primarily write within this space, how to get to where God wants / needs us to be.



I also write true to life short stories which reveal our true human nature. Writing in truth, or what the Greeks refer to as Alethia(ἀ–λήθεια - in Greek) - the realm of truth, necessarily guarantees an authentic quality. Read my stuff if you are a core believer, know about the formal system or simply desire to discover truth in it's purest form.

Developing Android Applications with Adobe Tools by Claire Wildman

The proliferation of the cellular phone has revolutionized the way we connect to the

world and communicate with one another. It is the foundation of a mobile lifestyle.

Although the evolution of cell phone technology is progressing thanks to hardware

manufacturers and platform engineers, the unveiling of its potential is in the hands of

application creators.

The proliferation of the cellular phone has revolutionized the way we connect to the

world and communicate with one another. It is the foundation of a mobile lifestyle.

Although the evolution of cell phone technology is progressing thanks to hardware

manufacturers and platform engineers, the unveiling of its potential is in the hands of

application creators.

Toward that end, Google and the Open Handset Alliance have developed Android, an

operating system that runs on many mobile devices. Adobe and the Open Screen Project

offer AIR as a development tool for various mobile systems. Both efforts bring some

uniformity to this fragmented world.

This book is about developing for the Android platform using Adobe AIR. My goal is

to provide in-depth information on the various topics specific to mobile development.

My wish is that this book will help you create quality applications.

Audience

This book is for developers. It aims to attract enthusiast coders who are curious about

both the technology and the user experience. I try to provide as much background

information as possible on all topics, and not just an ActionScript reference guide.

Today is still the beginning of the mobile era, and any one of you is a potential innovator.

Your contribution can influence the future of mobile technology

His many adventures have taught him a lot—about what drives him nuts! Whether it's the double-crossing staff at Traitor Joe’s, reptile dysfunction, "Northern" fried chicken, or seven-year jock itch, Bill's got a gripe to crack you up.

Bill Linden's been a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king (not to mention gag writer for major comic strips and Chicago Sun Times art director!).

Bill's many adventures have taught him a lot—about what drives him nuts! He's excited to share, for your reading pleasure, 999 Bees in My Bonnet: A Collection of Irritating Irritants.



Whether it's the double-crossing staff at Traitor Joe’s, reptile dysfunction, "Northern" fried chicken, or seven-year jock itch, Bill's got a gripe to crack you up. There may be bees in his bonnet, but boy, are they makin' honey!

About Bill Linden

Bill's occupations in previous lives include being a bitter and disillusioned graphic designer/art director for the Chicago Sun-Times, a bitter and disillusioned Hollywood screenwriter and a bitter and disillusioned gag writer for major comic strips. Bill's been a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king. Bill's been up and down and over and out, but he knows one thing—each time he finds himself flat on his face, Bill picks himself up and gets back in the race.



When not writing gags, photographing Chicago or being bitter and disillusioned, Bill finds his charity work with the elderly quite rewarding. Once a week he takes his dear, feeble, white-haired mother, Josephine, to Denny's for a "Moons Over My Hammy".



Bill has no vices. His hobbies include smoking, drinking and Facebooking 24/7.



Bill lives way beyond his means with his current sexy redheaded missus, Karen, in a fancy-but- not-schmancy downtown Chicago hi-rise run by Hitler's Youth.



Bill lives by the motto, "If you can't beat 'em, mock 'em, then ridicule 'em on the Facebook Social Media Network until they unfriend and block you."

Secret of Athleticism by Chong Xie

Chong Xie extensively delves into the success formula of elite athletes and their outstanding performances using a unique yet practical approach that has never been documented before. The book combines the elements of science, science fiction, real life application and ground breaking discovery to give the reader the true secret of athleticism in an easy and understandable way.

There is a question that arises in our consciousness: is it really genes or biomechanics that make us different from the widely sought after and famous athletes whose performances are not only awe inspiring but almost seem "out of this world" magical? Keeping this million-dollar question in mind the author Chong Xie embarks on an inquisitive journey to crack the code and unravel the truth. He successfully does so in this book and shares his discovery with you. In his narrative, he effectively syncs science fiction and science together. The discovery is amazing and it offers an unifying theory to human biomechanics. The unknown mechanism of the foot unraveled in this book can be replicated by just anyone! regardless of race or body composition.



The sports industry across the globe has known for ages that elite athletes combine their big toe and hip (Gluteus Maximus) predominantly in delivering superior athletic performances. These athletes were born knowing, it’s natural to them, but they could not explain exactly how it works. Chong Xie has cracked this very code and discovered the mechanism which would allow you to fully engage the Gluteus Maximus consciously without the aid of movement. This mechanism is one that can be replicated once you know how.



This very knowledge drastically reduces ankle sprains and other common injuries. It implies that you as an athlete can get control over your performance and health. Running barefooted becomes easy and natural to you. The book is an honest and practical guide to a natural way for enhancing performance and reducing injuries. It helps the athlete get a true understanding of how he/she can perform to his/her optimal levels without harm to the body.

About Chong Xie

Chong Xie is an inquisitive, enthusiastic writer with a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Binghamton University. He has a solid analytical experience of being a technical analyst for the past ten years in esteemed companies like Messagelabs (now under Symantec) and Bloomberg.



With his book "Secret of Athleticism" Chong Xie makes an honest endeavor to help all of us understand and discover a path to superior athletic performance without the expense of injury.

Healing Fibromyalgia by David Edelberg, M.D.

Fibromyalgia is real. The pain you awaken with is not “in your head” and those who say fibro is incurable are seriously misinformed. David Edelberg, MD presents a powerful plan for healing fibro completely. You may even be able to do it on your own, without doctors or drugs. This book will tell you how. Includes Dr E’s Six-Week Nearly Natural Fibro Cure.

Fibromyalgia is real. The pain you awaken with is not “in your head.” You’re not even remotely a hypochondriac. If anyone--doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist, well- meaning loved one--ever tries to convince you otherwise, tune them out.

They are wrong.

Likewise, if anyone ever tells you fibro is incurable and you’ll just have to learn to live with it, understand they’re seriously misinformed.

You may even be able to fix your fibromyalgia on your own, without doctors and without drugs. This book will tell you how.

So begins author David Edelberg, MD, an internist specializing in fibromyalgia, in his long-awaited book Healing Fibromyalgia. Dr Edelberg has treated 1,600+ women with fibro using the plan presented here, including step-by-step instructions for Dr E’s Six-Week Nearly Natural Fibro Cure.

In clear, reassuring language, Dr E explains how with fibro your whole self--the mind and body totality that makes you you--is under protective siege, your body trying desperately to guard itself from the assault of multiple sources of stress.

“Envision your muscles tightening up and creating a protective suit of armor. That’s fibro in a nutshell. Your muscles aren’t sick or inflamed, but they’re definitely tired of being locked up like this, trying to protect you and making you utterly exhausted in the process. Ironically, if your muscles could talk, they’d probably say, ‘Look, lady, we’re just doing our job. We got this message from you that we’re under serious stress. This tightening-up is what muscles do.’”

Statistics prove it: Some 10 to 14 million Americans currently fulfill the diagnostic criteria for fibro…and 80-90% of that group are undiagnosed.

Than means more American women have fibromyalgia than diabetes.

“Wait,” you think. “Am I hearing this right? Is Dr E saying that the 12 million American women with fibro are so stressed that they’re engaged in a 24/7 painful muscle lock-up of self protection and self preservation?”

That’s exactly what he’s saying.

Don’t live with fibromyalgia a single day longer than necessary. Whether your fibro responds to the Nearly Natural Cure or you need a little extra help from prescription drugs, this plan will help resolve your painful fibromyalgia forever.

Also includes: Dr E’s precise (and invaluable) fibro drug dosing instructions are radically different from what your own doctor might recommend…and they increase your chances of success. Your doctor doesn’t “believe in” fibro? The book provides expert advice on finding one who will take your condition seriously.

As a bonus, Healing Fibromyalgia includes the Physician’s Guide to Fibromyalgia, including Dr E’s complete treatment protocols. If your stubborn fibro requires prescription drugs, print out the guide and hand it to your physician. Don’t go it alone.

With this book and the Dr E’s physician’s guide in hand, you and your doctor will become an educated team in resolving your fibro.

Includes:

• How Do I Know If I Have Fibro? Take the Quiz

• How to Classify Your Fibro Severity

• Memories in Your Muscles

• Tests Every Fibro Patient Should Know About

• Dr E’s Six-Week Nearly Natural Fibro Cure

• Fibro-Friendly Eating Plan

• Medications for Fibro: How They Work and How They Can Help

• Pain Drugs for Fibro

• Alternative Medicine for Fibromyalgia

• You’ve Got A Friend: Women Speak Out About Their Fibro

• Fibro’s Larger Message: Women Under Siege

• Physician’s Guide to Fibromyalgia

He teaches alternative and integrative medicine to medical students and residents at the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago, usually providing their first exposure to alternative medicine. He is also assistant professor of medicine at Rush Medical College.



His book, The Triple Whammy Cure: The Breakthrough Women’s Health Program for Feeling Good Again in 3 Weeks, was published by Free Press in 2006.



Dr. Edelberg is on the Rodale Medical Advisory Board, has served on the board of the American Holistic Medicine Association, and is president of the board of Facets Multimedia, a not-for-profit center of art and foreign film in Chicago, where he lives with his wife and two sons.



“One morning recently, it came to me that on virtually every working day for the past 30 years I’ve been taking care of patients one-on-one, listening as people revealed their lives and pains, their anxieties and worst fears. It also occurred to me that I'm lucky to still immensely enjoy what I do and that I was actually looking forward to the patients I'd be seeing later that afternoon because I truly feel I’m helping them. Looking back over those three decades, I decided the five finest words any doctor can ever hear are: I think I'm feeling better.”

About John Guise

John Guise is a 76 year old Turkophile born and raised in England. In his retirement he has settled in New Zealand. He has also set up a website, Manisa Turkish, which offers an easy way to learn Turkish for everybody.



John Guise first visited Turkey for a holiday in Alanya 1979. A year later he started to work in Manisa. Living in Izmir he worked as a Professional Technical Engineering Manager in a factory producing diesel engined industrial vehicles. Besides a daily journey from Izmir to the Manisa factory for two consecutive years, he also found time to visit Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, Balikesir, Nevsehir, Ayvalik, Isparta and Bodrum for short holiday trips. At the end of his working contract he returned to his own country.



To show his gratitude to the Turkish people for various kindnesses shown to him, he decided to teach Turkish to fellow Language learners. In 2001 he passed the SOAS University examination in the Turkish language. After this he began to teach Turkish at his local Technical College at Coventry in the UK. He has also given private lessons in his own home.



John Guise himself had studied Latin and Greek in his own grammar school days. Also he can speak and write some French and Spanish. Before he began to work in Turkey he had said to himself, "I now have a chance to learn Turkish.." He states that because he already knew some languages then it was easier to assimilate Turkish.



His treatise "The Turkish Language Explained for English Speakers" is the result of his many years learning and teaching this fascinating language. In it he explains the various difficulties the learner may encounter along their learning curve. Many of these differences between English and Turkish are often glossed over or not even mentioned in many already published Language courses.



Grammar is kept to a minimum and explanations are clear and to the point. It is a book about the Turkish language and its grammar that you will keep by your side from your first lesson through intermediate and advanced stages of your studies.

When Women Were Warriors Book II: A Journey of the Heart by Catherine Wilson

Tamras’s apprenticeship as a warrior isn’t turning out quite the way she expected. Her unconventional choices lead to her crossing swords, almost literally, with Vintel, the war leader of Merin’s house. She finds herself embroiled in a power struggle she is doomed to lose, but the loss sends her on a journey that will change her destiny and decide the fate of her people.

"A Journey of the Heart [Book II] shows the same strong storytelling ability of the first book. The language is still almost musical and wraps its sweet spell around you.… Storylines that were just starting to grow in the first book are also very well developed here. Intrigue and conflict are fleshed out and take some surprising twists. All that I had hoped for, reading the first book, begins to bloom.…"

--from a review by Kate Genet on the website, Kissed By Venus



"Catherine Wilson creates a magical sense of place, and of belonging to that place. Within that, she also tells how it feels to not belong. … Ms. Wilson’s is a tale of bone wisdom. It whispers of what we remember when we sleep at night and dream. It calls us to remember that women had, and still have, a wise and powerful place in the world."

--from a review on the blog, The Rainbow Reader, by Baxter Clare Trautman, author of The River Within



"In this book we see Tamras’ world open from the House of Merin and its immediate environs into the lands beyond its borders. She meets other peoples, whose ways are different from those she knows. Similarly Tamras’ inner life expands as well: the feelings within her blossom into the romantic love that will be the linchpin her life will hinge on…"

--from a review by Charles Ferguson on the Goodreads website



In Book II of the trilogy, Tamras’s apprenticeship as a warrior isn’t turning out quite the way she expected. Her unconventional choices lead to her crossing swords, almost literally, with Vintel, the war leader of Merin’s house. She finds herself embroiled in a power struggle she is doomed to lose, but the loss sends her on a journey that will change her destiny and decide the fate of her people.

About Catherine Wilson

I have spent most of my working life as an engineer of one sort or another (broadcast engineer, software engineer) and people who know that side of me are surprised when they learn about the writing side. I like science and engineering because I like to know how things work, and I like the arts because I like to know how people work.



It took me 50 years to graduate from college, because I kept getting distracted by life, but I finally earned a BA and MS in Computer Science. Having accomplished that, I started writing a novel, which turned into a trilogy. I don't know why I needed that degree to write, at last, the book that I always knew was in me trying to get out. Maybe I just needed to be old enough.

Superstitious Christianity by Hannah Boland

Don't be fooled by the title. Australian author Hannah Boland is a faithful servant of Jesus. But having lost a second full-term baby in 2013, Hannah was forced to face the deep, often unanswered questions of the Christian faith. To do this, she sought the counsel of three Godly mentors in a quest for more than just trite answers, the result is described as "an unequaled apologetic". (D Smith)

Don't be fooled by the title. Australian author Hannah Boland is a faithful servant of Jesus. But having lost a second near full-term baby in 2013, Hannah was forced to face the deep, often unanswered questions of the Christian faith and to peel away the layers of fluff or "superstition" to see what really lies at the heart of her faith, and to discover anew what it means to know God. To help her do this, Hannah engaged the help of three of her most trusted Godly mentors, and asked them to respond in whatever way they chose with only one condition: they were not allowed to give answers based solely on rhetoric or learned theology, but rather from their own personal walk with God whilst drawing upon the fruit of their respective areas of ministry, professional formation and life experience. The result is a challenging book which may very well change the way you think about God, Jesus and the Bible, regardless of whether or not you share the faith of Christianity.

About Hannah Boland

Hannah Boland is an Australian wife and mother to two living children. Born and raised in Melbourne, she grew up in a Christian household with her dad, mum, and sister. In her early teens she walked away from Christianity and did not return to God until after she was married.



Her husband, Michael, has also come to faith in Jesus Christ. They now enjoy raising their two children to the glory of God and are eager to see the purposes of God fulfilled in the lives of all their family members.



Hannah and her family currently reside in a small, semirural town in New South Wales and are actively involved in their local church. Hannah’s greatest desire is to see both non-Christians and Christians realise salvation through Jesus Christ and to live their lives in light of it.

Healthy Pancreas, Healthy You. Part II. Healing Foods in the Digestive (Pancreatic) Disorders by Peter Melamed

Can we naturally increase pancreatic function and relieve many digestive and metabolic disorders by using healthy foods? Pancreas is a core for digestion. This book is the practical guide to healing liver, gallbladder and pancreatic disorders, IBS, GERD, metabolic syndrome, overweight, diabetes, allergy, Candida, acidity by healing foods. What to eat is as effective as when to eat and how to eat.

Millions of people suffer from a variety of gastrointestinal disorders including abdominal pain, stomach discomfort, cramps, gas, bloating, heartburn, cravings, malnutrition, alteration in bowel habits, foul-smelling stool, etc. Many of these sufferers have pancreatic deficiency and do not realize it. Their organisms are literally starving because the pancreas is a core for the proper digestion.



Those suffering from pancreatic deficiency can eat a healthy diet, but their bodies will not properly utilize the food’s nutrients. Pancreatic deficiency leads to serious disturbances of the gastrointestinal tract and the entire organism. Some individuals’ can be overweight; nevertheless, their bodies can have severe malnutrition. Millions of people feel continually tired, have chronic diseases, and age prematurely. In the worst case scenario, they get pancreatic cancer.



Without the proper amount, and good quality of pancreatic digestive enzymes, even the “healthiest” diet in the world will not make people healthy, good looking and young.

The basic guidelines of eating for healthy pancreas do not include starvation or fasting, complicated advices or counting of calories and do not require strict vegetarianism. All that is needed are healthy, tasty, and simple natural foods full of natural digestive enzymes.



In part 2 of “Healthy Pancreas, Healthy You” authors describe the connections between food consumption, pancreas and dyspepsia, IBS, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, GERD, gallbladder stones, pancreatitis, metabolic syndrome, overweight, diabetes, dysbiosis, metabolic acidosis.

This book is unusual because all of the chapters include two sections: the first breaks down the medical issues into simple, clear words “for individuals lacking a medical background”, the second addresses for individuals with medical backgrounds. This last section is for doctors, health care practitioners, and people to examine serious medical research about pancreatic health.



There is an English Proverb: “Don’t dig your grave with your knife and fork”.

This book will attempt to prove the validity of this proverb and give directions to pancreatic health by:

1. Supplying the body with natural digestive enzymes from food by using raw, natural foods or slow cooking in a thermos, sprouting, blending, juicing, and proper chewing

2. Strengthening the pancreas and whole body with the right ratio of minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids and essential fatty acids

3. Keeping the proper body’s acid-alkaline balance. The pancreas and liver are alkaline glands. Certain diets create an unnatural switch to whole body acidity - metabolic acidosis that is harmful for pancreatic health and the entire digestive system, as well as, the whole body Acidity kills the pancreas.

4. Maintaining the proper ecology inside the GI tract

All these suggestions are interrelated and equally important.



This book is the practical guide to healing liver, gallbladder and pancreatic disorders, IBS, GERD, metabolic syndrome, overweight, diabetes, acidity, fatty liver and pancreas, allergy, Candida, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, by using appropriate foods. What to eat is as important as when to eat and how to eat. You will also recognize, why water is the best friend of the pancreas. Pancreatic deficiency, like all disorders, has three stages such as functional, structural, and failure. Three stages of the pancreatic deficiency require different healing foods.

Beyond Jealousy by Kit Rocha

The fourth book in Kit Rocha's BEYOND series. Finally, the love story between Rachel--Eden's fallen angel--and the two men who own her heart: Cruz, a former soldier, and Ace, a tattoo artist bad boy.

She’s been looking for the perfect man. She found two.



When Rachel Riley sacrificed a life in Eden to protect the O’Kanes, she earned her place in the powerful Sector Four gang. But the former crime princess is tired of being everyone’s sweet little sister . It’s time for her to get wild, to embrace her fantasies as only an O’Kane can—with a delicious exiled soldier and the gang’s wickedly sinful tattoo artist.



A saint...



Lorenzo Cruz is a warrior, taught by his commanding officers in Eden that involvement equals distraction. Emotion is a liability, and desire a sin. In Sector Four, he finds decadence, shameless sex—and his own dark urges. No battle strategy prepared him for how Rachel makes his heart race…or the way his rival for her affections sets his blood on fire.



...and a sinner.



Ace Santana has a dirty reputation and a mind to match, especially where his new lovers are concerned. He’s eager to help Cruz embrace his dominant side, and to explore the lines between pleasure and pain with Rachel. But corrupting them quickly becomes an obsession, a need he can’t deny—and a love he never imagined.



Three hearts on the line means a hundred ways their ménage a trois could go wrong. After all, even O’Kanes do forever two-by-two. One of them could be the missing piece that makes them all whole…or a temporary diversion destined for a broken heart.

About Kit Rocha

Kit Rocha is actually two people—Bree & Donna, best friends who are living the dream. They get paid to work in their pajamas, talk on the phone, and write down all the stories they used to make up in their heads.



Beyond Shame was their first dystopian erotic romance. They also write paranormal romance as Moira Rogers.
