In 1986, the company moved to its new and modern buildings with a 600-bed capacity, which was named Farabi Hospital.

After this date, Farabi Hospital, which showed a rapid development in terms of physical and academic facilities with its academic and administrative staff, was completed in 2004 and the construction of an additional hospital building with a capacity of 308 beds (B block) was started in 1993 and construction of a closed area of 25.000 m2 on the campus in 1993 was completed.

Sherol L. Southerland’s newly released “Word of the Day” is a moving 22-day devotional designed to inspire one with God’s Word and glorifying presence


News Image

“Word of the Day: From 1 and 2 Timothy”: a brilliant tool for meditation that brings one the Word of God that will shower hope and guidance in life, is the creation of published author Sherol L. Southerland, an ordained minister, educator, mentor, and consultant. She is a doctoral student in educational psychology at VCU, owner of Southerland Education Consulting, LLC, and a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. As an educator and minister of the Gospel, she is passionate about teaching and strives to encourage and empower people to be their best authentic self.

Southerland shares, “Do you need encouragement, affirmation, direction, and even correction? Do you need a word from God? If you’re honest, the answer to both of those questions is YES. The word of God is alive and has much to say to guide us in this life. If you’re holding this devotional in your hands, you’re just pages away from getting the encouragement, affirmation, direction, and correction you need to not just survive in life, but to thrive in life. I encourage you to invest in yourself by taking a few minutes each day to read and meditate on the Word of the Day and how it applies to your life. You’re worth the investment. I pray that you will be encouraged, convicted, empowered, and determined to go all out for God and let your light shine for Christ as you run this Christian race.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Sherol L. Southerland’s new book is a faith-strengthening read that helps one reflect on their life and be driven to act and grow on their purpose-filled Christian journey.

Les Triché & RoxAnne Triché’s newly released “Self-Counseling with STACT” is a brilliant combination of scripture therapy and Glasser’s choice theory and reality therapy


News Image

“Self-Counseling with STACT (Scripture Therapy and Choice Theory): Getting What God Wants You to Have!”: a helpful handbook designed to equip individuals through self-counseling and counseling others. “Self-Counseling with STACT (Scripture Therapy and Choice Theory): Getting What God Wants You to Have!” is the creation of published authors Les Triché and RoxAnne Triché, tv show hosts and educators of scripture therapy. Les, the president and founder of IECAST Inc., is also a senior faculty member and director of community and behavioral health with the Glasser Institute for Choice Theory. RoxAnne, the executive vice president of IECAST Inc, is also a master facilitator for internal empowerment and leadership coaching.

The Trichés share, “Faith leaders and organizational leaders alike need real, usable strategies for counseling themselves and those they lead. STACT provides these strategies by using The Human Operating Systems for Getting What God Wants You to Have. Everyone who approaches their leaders for help or counseling do so because their needs are not being met in their own life. These unmet needs lead to every problem facing people today.

“STACT addresses these needs in a compassionate, efficient manner, and empowers people to make the choices that create healthy meaningful lives. The principles are ones that everyone can learn without requiring years of intense counseling or intervention.

“Using STACT frees leaders to delegate counseling when it is not within their own gifting or desires while helping to meet the needs of their congregations or organizations.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Les Triché and RoxAnne Triché’s new book is a powerful read that holds an ability to help everyone from all walks of life in enhancing their spirituality and their happiness quotient and finding their God-given purpose.

Radon Environmental’s Bark Side Will Make Schools Aware


New issue.

Direct Link: https://joom.ag/MIEe

“Approximately 80% of the schools have not been tested for radon. 70,000 school rooms have high radon levels.” … EPA

Citizens for Radioactive Radon Reduction (CR3), a radon reduction advocacy 501c3 nonprofit organization serving the radon and lung cancer community, today announced the initiation of a focus on Radon Environmental’s “Bark Side of Radon” endeavor by tying it to their “Teachers for Radon Reduction” campaign to test all schools in the U.S. for radon gas. This program will introduce a new stimulus and encouragement to testing for radioactive radon gas exposure in residences and promote mitigation to reduce elevated levels of this carcinogen. Through this effort, CR3 will awaken pet owners and veterinarians to an influencer that will advance pet and human health.

According to a 2015 Harris poll, more than three in five Americans (62%) have at least one pet in their household, with ownership highest among the two youngest generations tested (65% among Millennials, 71% among Gen X).

With radon being the second leading cause of lung cancer and number one among non-smokers, radon awareness is increasing strong initiatives by organizations fighting to improve lung cancer survival, health and indoor air quality which are critical for success. CR3’s advocacy channel has increased over the past 24 months. Members are joining because of their own experiences with cancer and radon and are eager to share their experiences and knowledge about the danger of radioactive radon gas exposure as they advocate for legislation and increased testing in areas where children are spending most of their time.

“While we will continue to advocate for homeowners and landlords to test their properties for radon gas, getting entire communities involved to insure the safe and healthy environment for children in schools and day care facilities is a must,” says Gloria Linnertz, Director of CR3. “By providing information to the schools and veterinarians, we hope to encourage children to inspire their parents to test their homes.”

“There is a high frequency of radon campaigns being deployed for January’s National Radon Action Month; however, the influence still remains somewhat low,” stated Jackie Nixon, Director of Marketing for CR3. “We are thrilled to be chosen to implement such a positive and powerful initiative with Radon Environmental to bring such an important message to people and maybe save some lives.”

Linda C. Mack and Mack International shortlisted in three categories for the 2020 Family Wealth Report Awards


FWR 2019

Having our work recognized in these three categories…represents our ongoing dedication to serving families at the highest level.

Mack International, founded in 2002, is widely recognized as one of the foremost premier boutique firms specializing in providing C-suite retained executive search and strategic consulting solutions to family offices, family enterprises and family investment firms on an international basis. Linda C. Mack and Mack International were recently shortlisted in three categories including Family Office Management Consultancy, Leading Individual Service Provider, and Top Women in Wealth Management.

Showcasing ‘best of breed’ providers in the global private banking, wealth management and trusted advisor communities, the awards were designed to recognize companies, teams and individuals which the prestigious panel of judges deemed to have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence during 2019’. The Family Office Management Consultancy category recognizes firms providing consulting services that help families think strategically about their objectives to effectively achieve success and sustainability. The Leading Individual Service Provider category acknowledges exceptional individuals working in the private client world, and Women in Wealth Management identifies women in the industry who are an inspiration to both female clients and colleagues.    

Commenting on the firm’s shortlisting, Linda Mack, Founder and President of Mack International said: “We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for these prestigious awards. Having our work recognized in these three categories is particularly meaningful as they represent our ongoing dedication to serving families at the highest level. We are committed to continuing our reputation as thought leaders in the industry and to sharing our insights to benefit clients and colleagues alike. Being named a finalist is a distinction we are honored to receive for work we find deeply satisfying both personally and professionally.”

ClearView Financial Media’s Chief Executive, and Publisher of Family Wealth Report, Stephen Harris, was first to extend his congratulations to the shortlisted firms. He said: “The firms who have been shortlisted in these awards are all worthy competitors, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations. These awards are judged solely on the basis of entrants’ submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which had to be answered focusing on the client experience, not quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature. These awards will recognise the very best operators in the private client industry, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process – such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management. Our aim is to make these annual Awards one of the brightest, and keenly contested highlights in the wealth management calendar.”

Winners will be announced at a gala awards dinner which will be held in New York on March 18, 2020 at the Mandarin Oriental.
