21st Century Education in America
21st Century Education in America:
What Should Parents Know?
This book is written by Sylvia McCrory, and Melissa Wingfield, 2 retired public school teachers. It is written to inform parents about unpublicized workings of the American education system. We discuss corporate greed, and political ambition using the education system to drive sales for testing companies, and technology companies. We explore the dangers to the brain with overuse of technology. Other topics discussed are: stress from testing, pressure to perform, and in-person bullying. This is written in a Christian format with Bible passages. We also have available a Leader's Guide, and Study Guide for parents wanting to do Bible study. We do not tell parents what they should do, we only want to make parents informed, so they are able to make educated decisions for their own children.

Home is Where the Hummingbird Lives
Home Is Where The Hummingbird Lives:
Surviving Homeownership
One Woman. One Large Bank. One Extraordinary Outcome.
Home is Where the Hummingbird Lives is the true story of a single mother who found herself unable to pay her mortgage after being struck by someone driving blindly through an intersection. This accident would be a swift blow to Sophia’s business and change the trajectory of her life. On the brink of losing her home, she fought Wells Fargo Bank for over half a decade in an effort to receive the lender support promised after the big bank bailout. What Sophia found through her years as a crusader for the American homeowner was a maze of deceit, lies, and banking transgressions that would only be uncovered by her battle, and subsequent win, against Wells Fargo Bank.
This raw and empowering memoir details her journey as she uncovers the truth about the largest banks in America and shines a light on the many individuals who fed off the systemic looting being carried out by the big banks. There is simply not enough information out there to help the people of this country understand the long ranging devastation caused by the housing crisis—we the people did not just temporarily bail the banks out of the catastrophe of 2008—the taxpayers are now in a constant stasis of being drained by The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. The bailout is ongoing, and the banks are earmarked to receive additional trillions. Few realize how little the big banks were regulated or how easy it would be for them to repeat history. This book offers concrete solutions to help individuals and families cope with economic uncertainty and mortgage misconduct woven together by Sophia’s determination and resilience as she fought to save her home.
“The author shares her vulnerability as a woman and a mother, in the midst of her drawn-out home loan modification battle with Wells Fargo Bank. By the end of this book, you will be inspired by her story—you might even come to the realization that you also will fight for what is right in the future.” - Dixie Crane
“Hindsight guides us into the future, so be aware of the lessons learned in Home is Where the Hummingbird Lives. The greatest lessons learned are accomplished through living and the wisdom provided by those who willingly share their past.”
- John (Jack) W. Galardi, Esq.

Confessions and Musings of a Financial Planner
Confessions and Musings of a Financial Planner: How the Layman Gets Laid
On Monday, October 19, 1987 the United States stock market experienced it’s largest one-day percentage drop ever. In the period leading up to the crash the author had been managing millions of dollars for his clients, all of which was invested in the stock market. On the Tuesday before the crash he made a difficult and agonizing decision to transfer all his clients’ stock market holdings to cash. That decision turned out to be quite fateful and was in part responsible for the Heier Group catapulting from a small local organization to one of national presence. In light of his ever expanding clientele, the ensuing years gave Bob Heier more than ample opportunity to seize the very best opportunities available to his clients as well as to examine every dark corner of personal finance and to confront the very worst of the scams, pitfalls and problems his clients faced.
Confessions of a Financial Planner may be said to be a compendium of those pitfalls; the book is a series of revelations and warnings to today’s consumers as they try to work safely and intelligently to build a financial future for themselves. In light of the growing array of lightening changes and gimmicks now confronting the public daily, Confessions should be viewed as an especially apt and indispensable tool and resource for anyone seeking to avoid the all too common financial disasters as they construct a sensible approach to the growth of their financial security.
Author: Robert Heier. Publisher: Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc. Author Bio: Robert began his career as a civil appellate litigator for the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. where he also entered private practice. Disturbed by the constant acrimony in litigation he switched careers to financial planning and headed the Heier Group which had a national clientele. During that time he was also a syndicated columnist writing locally on personal finance; he then became syndicated nationally, appearing in some 100 papers across the country. He, his beautiful wife Christine and their adorable feline lunatics are currently retired in southwest Florida where he is free to pursue his first love, photography. He also continues to play softball avidly and each Tuesday and Thursday can be found giving lessons on how to hit groundballs to shortstop and how to regularly hit into double plays. For some inexplicable reason the classes are not well attended.

Recognition Overdue
Women Are Shaping The World
Women contribution to Science, Technology, Politics, and Humanity - Women Liberation Movements improving Women Rights
Maybe a stunning statement to claim that without women, we’ll be back to the Stone Age. But that’s exactly what “State of Denial” Does to us. Frankly speaking, the easiest way to deny a Concrete Fact is simply to say “That’s Stupid, non-sense, rubbish,…etc”. The hardest way to face a Concrete Fact is to say “How? Explain!, I Need to Know More!, I’m Interested (not interesting),…etc”.
Let’s see!!!
They Claim: Men Are Born to be LEADERS!
Really? Who raise Men to become Leaders? Other Men? Give me a break.
They Claim: Men work so hard to preserve humanity!
Really? Who have been killing each other/Humanity in the so called WARS? Women? Are you from Planet Mars?
They Claim: Men are Smarter!
Really? Who are packed on top of each other in Jails like Sardines? Women Again? Which Galaxy you say you’re from?
They Claim: OK, but we MEN Run the World!
You still don’ know the difference between RUN and RUIN? MEN RUINED THE WORLD over and over again. And each time Women healed the wounds over and over again.
They Claim: If so, can they live without us?
Did you have to ask? ..Moron.. Wish you never did.
Throughout Mankind History, women have been asking for their rights. And men think they are asking for too much. Imagine if women lost hope and started thinking of Revenge? How long can men last? Even worse. Will women ever re-accept men? Based on Men previous history with women’s rights, men should be grateful if they were ever re-accepted.
History has taught us that women have a great level of patience.
This book may not change today’s Ugly Facts, but it will show a very small portion of Females’ Great Contributions to Humanity. Hoping that someday, somewhere, somehow, Females are rewarded and respected for their great contributions to Humanity.
The surprise of this book is kept at this unique Section:

Beyond the Boardroom
Beyond the Boardroom:
Examining the concepts of an effective leader in a culturally conscious community-based organization
Cities across the country rely on nonprofit organizations to provide quality services and effective campaigns that will benefit individuals, families, and communities. Reliable men and women are placed in leadership roles within these organizations, but are they prepared to lead?
Dr. Troy Washington worked with and studied the leadership of Peacemaker Social Services under Gary Bellamy II, which provided him with insight into this unique line of work. With this in mind, Dr. Washington wrote Beyond the Boardroom: Examining the Concepts of an Effective Leader in a Culturally Conscious, Community-based Nonprofit Organization as a guide for anyone seeking leadership advice related to nonprofit organizations.
From directors to team members, everyone makes up an important part of the overall organization. While there may not be a single definition of a leader, there are qualities that stand out among those with true leadership skills. Dr. Washington’s hope is that by inspiring leaders, they will use their roles to change the lives of those around them, for the better.
Author: Troy Washington. Publisher: Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc. Author Bio: Dr. Washington is a professor with the Helen Bader Institute at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.

He studies organizational processes that have the ability to improve the conditions of vulnerable communities and groups. Much of his work takes place alongside community-based nonprofit organizations, youth organizing efforts, and community-driven health promotion initiatives. An overarching goal of Dr. Washington s is to identify the mechanisms at multiple levels of analysis that account for links between engagement in empowerment processes and well-being. Dr. Washington s background is primarily in nonprofit leadership and community activism, but he also applies concepts from multiple social science disciplines and uses multiple methods to understand and inform community-driven efforts as a way to improve conditions of inequity. Prior to his academic career, Dr. Washington worked as an associate director for Peacemaker Charitable Services, a nonprofit organization centrally located in Milwaukee, WI. There he provided organizational planning, implemented policies, and supported services for vulnerable families. Dr. Washington also worked on political campaigns and with Milwaukee Public Schools to build equity in youth driven initiatives.
