The marsh is a great place to bury your dead.

In the 2023 London Book Fair which will take place on April 18-20, 2023, at the Olympia London, London, UK new authors are itching to present what could be the next best-selling series in their respective genres. For retired healthcare administrator Jay Mack, that genre is crime and suspense. His new book, Seizing Jurisdiction, is another ambitious take on the underworld narcotics trade with the twisted intrigues of drug dealers, smugglers, and, of course, the equally enigmatic operations of Americas Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

Set in historic Savannah, Seizing Jurisdiction is told from multiple perspectives, with the main one belonging to narcotics detective Spencer Baldwin. For some time, Spencer has been hot on the trail of a notorious drug smuggler known only as the Snowman. Meanwhile, his restaurant-owning girlfriend grows frustrated with their relationship and finds herself eyeing wealthy seafood distributor Carl Powers.

Little does she know that Carl is the very same criminal Spencer has been tracking. Hanging over them all is the shadow of the DEA as it puts Spencer and the Savannah police department on a tight leash. They appear to have hidden motives for wanting custody of the Snowman.

Carl, in turn, knows the situation is in his favor as he unscrupulously turns Spencers girl against him in the big twisted game theyre all in. How will Spencer untangle this nasty conspiratorial web? Will the DEA seize jurisdiction and throw them all under the bus? Is Carl completely untouchable, or could someone else pose a threat to his criminal empire?

Readers and visitors to the London Book Fair 2023 can discover the whole truth by checking the book Seizing Jurisdiction by J H Mack out on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. They should also head to the ReadersMagnet exhibit at booth stand 6A90 to view the book display.

It can be anticipated that with the continuous acceleration of digital transformation, the company’s operational efficiency will continue to be optimized, and its foundation for high-quality development will be further consolidated.

It is worth mentioning that since its establishment, Sunshine Insurance has always remembered its original mission and actively fulfilled its social responsibilities. According to the annual report, in 2022, the company provided risk protection of 44.5 trillion for the real economy, provided risk protection of 82.2 billion for the “Belt and Road” project, provided risk protection of more than 170 billion for small and micro enterprises, helped small and micro enterprises obtain financing of 14.5 billion, and provided green insurance protection of nearly 60 trillion. The sustainable investment balance more than 40 billion, contributing Sunshine’s strength in serving the real economy, protecting people’s livelihood, promoting common prosperity, and promoting a green China.

Overall, in 2022, facing the turbulent international environment and arduous development tasks, Sunshine Insurance responded promptly and rose to the challenges, delivering a satisfactory “report card.” Zhang Weigong, the founder, the Chairman, and CEO of Sunshine Insurance Group, said, “The company will continue to adhere to its development strategy, promote high-quality development and high-value growth through reform and transformation measures, and strive to build the company into a customer-driven high-value growth insurance group.” In the future, the company will strengthen its core competitiveness, fully exert its insurance protection function, provide high-quality product services to customers, escort the stable operation of the economy, and create more value for shareholders and investors.

For the Second Consecutive Year, the Public is Invited to Sign Up for Physical Therapy Checkups at Husson University’s Pro Bono Clinic

 For the second consecutive year, Husson University’s SOARing Eagles Healthcare clinic at 79 Marshall Road in Bangor is offering free physical therapy checkups to members of the public. The checkups are available on April 10 and April 11, 2023 from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Anyone interested in receiving one of these complimentary overall health screenings provided by Husson physical therapy (PT) students can contact Dr. Kimberly Steinbarger, PT, MHS, DHSc, an assistant professor at Husson’s School of Physical Therapy at 207-941-7181 or steinbargerk@husson.edu to make an appointment.

The checkups are open to the public and there is no charge for these physical therapy evaluations. Any adult, of any age, who is uninsured or underinsured, and needs subsequent treatment after the examination, but cannot afford to pay for it themselves, can receive it at Husson’s SOARing Eagles Healthcare clinic.

“These checkups are an outstanding opportunity to identify potential personal mobility issues before they become more significant,” said Steinbarger. “After the assessment, clients will receive information about their personal health with results that identify specific concerns and challenges. Anyone who was provided with measurements at last year’s event is welcome to bring them in. By comparing last year’s measurements to this year’s results, participants will be able to see if there have been improvements or declines in their personal health over the past year.”

“Individuals don’t need to have attended last year’s check-up in order to participate,” continued Steinbarger. “Anyone who is suffering from sports or activity-related injuries; motion or strength limitations; chronic pain; functional disabilities; post-surgical pain or a loss of function, is welcome to contact us.”

No insurance information will be required. All assessments completed during these sessions will remain confidential.

These evaluations serve a dual purpose. In addition to providing members of the public with a checkup at no cost that can prevent future health issues, these evaluations provide Husson University physical therapy students with hands-on experience with real-life patients.

Husson University’s School of Physical Therapy provides the advanced knowledge students need to become skilled and knowledgeable practitioners who collaborate with a patient’s health care team to help maximize function. Students can enroll in any of three programs: a six-year Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences/Doctor of Physical Therapy degree; a three-year Doctor of Physical Therapy degree or a Doctor of Physical Therapy/Master of Business Administration dual-degree program.
