“Breathing rarefied air, this collection motivates you to think while acting and weep while laughing.

“The philosophy and metaphysics are complicated yet simple, swaying reason and underscoring logic.

“This verse is humanity squared.

“It gazes into God’s stained glass eyeballs while searching for the human heartbeat and soul hymn.

“As the son of two Czech WWII heroes, Radomir Vojtech Luza understands patriotism, love of politics, labor, and art.

“He lives to write poetry. There is nothing else he would rather be doing. He sings the body poetic.

“His passion for the written and spoken word has turned him into the prolific, award-winning poet he is.

“The thirty-five books (thirty-one collections of poetry) this poet laureate and Pushcart Prize nominee has written, prove that he is prepared and equipped philosophically, intellectually, and metaphysically to pen a poetic tome of this depth, clarity, and resonance.

“Onyx Rose is substantive and wild.

“It touches on America today, crazy and curious.

“The poetry is raw, naked, profound, and deeply specific, molesting myths and raping riverbeds of retreat.

“This collection opens doors that were previously closed shut, putting it back in the high life again.

“Onyx Rose lets love lead the way, for better or worse, displaying an original and uncommon style aimed at verse true, tender and timeless.

“This is a lion looking for red meat, a shark crushing thigh and bone, oh, so sweet.”

BarrierBreak Launches the SAAS Accessibility Toolkit – a Guide to Implement Accessibility in SAAS Products


BarrierBreak, the leaders in offshore digital accessibility testing and consulting firm, launches the SAAS Accessibility Toolkit – a guide to implement accessibility in SAAS products. The toolkit has been launched marking the International Day of People with Disabilities 2021.

The Software as a Service (SAAS) market is growing rapidly, with over 20% of the Fortune 500 companies using software as a service. But what makes this market so unique? A competitive advantage that SAAS products have is their accessibility from any device, anywhere in the world.

As per the Global Market Report 2021, the SAAS market is expected to reach $436.9 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 12.5%. Looking at trends in the market, it is clear that SAAS will continue to grow in popularity for business and start-ups.

However, most of the SAAS providers are unintentionally leaving out a segment of potential customers as they have not considered incorporating accessibility in their products.

More than 1 billion people worldwide have a disability of some kind and despite this, most SAAS products are not accessible to people with disabilities. This is a problem because disabled users can’t use these products at all or have to put a lot of effort into using them.

As a leader in offshore Digital Accessibility testing and consulting, BarrierBreak believes that technology creates a limitless future for people with disabilities by providing accessible solutions. And with this belief, we have launched the SAAS Accessibility Toolkit that would facilitate and support SAAS providers to incorporate accessibility in their solutions.

Having a good SAAS product doesn’t mean that your customers will procure it. For organizations focusing on Inclusion, the accessibility of your SAAS solution will be a key point in their decision making. Organizations today want to ensure they are promoting an inclusive culture and it would be plain wrong to discriminate against people with disabilities and deny them equal access.

The SAAS Accessibility toolkit aims to facilitate better understanding of how to implement accessibility and where to start. It will give you a roadmap to work towards and implement accessibility in your SAAS products in the most efficient manner.

“When building a SaaS product, you should always ask yourself whether your product is accessible to people with disabilities. If the answer is no, you have two options: either make it accessible or find a reason why it shouldn’t be. The SAAS accessibility Toolkit designed by BarrierBreak shines a light on the need for accessible SAAS solutions and scaling your business.” Shilpi Kapoor, CEO & Founder, BarrierBreak.

Why SAAS Accessibility Toolkit?


  • Better understanding of global accessibility drivers.
  • Helps you plan your accessibility roadmap and overcome the struggle of implementing accessibility.
  • Evaluate the competitive advantage of implementing accessibility.
  • Recognize the accessibility market potential and avoid negative brand positioning.
  • Helps you embed accessibility in your product development cycle and avoid legal consequences.

Download the SAAS Accessibility Toolkit and take your first step and guide towards accessibility and inclusion. Created with the input of people with disabilities and accessibility experts, this toolkit contains basic information, helpful tips in embedding accessibility into SAAS products and solutions.

Eye-Opening Exploration Delves Into The Souls of Apostles Peter and Judas


News Image

During a fervent time of prayer, fasting, and studying, I believe this revelation came to me.

Author Sebastian Lucido provides readers with a thought-provoking perspective and powerful spiritual lesson in The Rock and The Serpent Peter and Judas: The Story of Christianity and Our Salvation ($13.49, paperback, 9781662833458; $5.99, e-book, 9781662833465).

In this riveting account of two betrayals, Lucido reveals the events and choices that led Peter and Judas to their very different destinies on Passover evening. While both men considered themselves a faithful friend and a loyal follower of Christ, each man chose a very different path.

Readers will appreciate Lucido’s detailed and intimate character investigation into the souls of Peter and Judas. The author’s passionate writing serves to answer why after years of following Jesus, these two apostles chose to deny Jesus on Passover evening. The compelling lessons in this book will change the way readers have always viewed the actions taken by Peter and Judas.

“During a fervent time of prayer, fasting, and studying, I believe this revelation came to me,” said Lucido. “In the modern Church culture of today the message of salvation has drifted over the years. Christians will learn a lot from the blind spot in their faith due to the lack of teaching about these two men: Peter and Judas.”

Sebastian Lucido has the keen ability to teach the Bible in a clear, understandable, and authentic way that makes biblical mysteries and principles relevant to all Christian denominations. He strives to provide the most honest and accurate insight possible into God’s Word, bringing people closer to a true understanding of His will and intent for their lives. For over three decades, Lucido has traveled the globe preaching the uncompromising message of the Gospel. He works to help people in churches, schools, and on the radio to understand and appreciate the true, unvarnished Word of God. This includes teaching a weekly Bible study class. Most recently, he produced four studio quality, Bible study curriculums that are available at no cost through his ministry at http://www.watchersoftruth.com. A current Rochester, Michigan resident, Lucido and his wife Kris, are the grateful parents to seven grown children.
