I taught special education for many years. I left teaching due to the current reforms that are taking over the nation’s classrooms. I am now committed to writing about the profession that I hold dear and the public schools that are critically important to the future of America and its children.

Along with my book, Misguided Education Reform: Debating the Impact on Students, I have been published in Phi Delta Kappan and Education Week. I am an activist on the issue of safe school facilities. In 2012, I was invited to speak about school building safety at the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute’s annual meeting in Memphis, Tennessee.

I have a B.S. degree in special education from Central Michigan University, a M.Ed in special education from the University of North Florida, and a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from Florida State University. I earned credentials in teaching students with emotional disabilities, learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and school administration. I also obtained post-doc credentials in teaching gifted and talented from the University of South Florida. My student teaching involved working under wonderfully talented veteran teachers who I still hold in high regard.

Elliott Maynard is a neo-renaissance scientist and conceptual designerwho walks his talk, lives his dream and is driven to share this information with others of like mind. His background spans the fields of Global Ecology, Coral Reef Ecology, Oceanography and Tropical Rainforest Biology. He earned a Ph.D. in Consciousness Research and has served on the faculties of Adelphi University and Dowling College in New York. Dr. Maynard defines his master paradigm as “a new operating system forthe human race.” But how does Future Science Technology assist in upgrading our mind to the mind of new man (Homo novus)? What are the characteristics of this new man? How do we access this quantum mind? Maynard skillfully highlights an array of seemingly unconnected subjects from which he weaves a “Living Tapestry.” This tapestry contains both the threads of the future science world that are already in place, as well as threads that exist in the future. By embracing this new mindset we can work collectively to birth a new era of effective fixes for a world in which our established institutions are teetering on the brink of collapse or are already broken.

The Seven Commandments for Happiness and Prosperity

by Shari Sharifi Brown

This book will take the reader on an enchanting journey through the history of religion to discover the seven key principles that can bring you happiness and riches.

The journey begins in prehistory when men worshipped multiple gods in forms of stone and wood. They sacrificed animals, humans, and even children to please these gods. The great Commandments of Moses were a revolutionary act of liberation. But as we shall see, the Israelites did not always follow them, and they suffered the consequences. Their story is indeed a testament to us today of what not to do if you want success in this life---and the next.

The simplified Commandments of Jesus made them easier to follow, and offered them to all people. But wickedness in the name of Christianity by church leaders and average Christians came after lip service to the Commandments. The Arab people were still worshipping idols of many gods when they came in contact with Jews and Christians. One of them learned of their God and brought Commandments to his people, but like Jews and Christians, many Muslims went astray.

The central theme of this book is to illustrate the fortunes and misfortunes of people who either decide to be inspired by grace to follow the Commandments, and achieve inner and outer peace, or to flout the Law and suffer the consequence.

MICHAEL RIVERO is the webmaster of whatreallyhappened and host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Republic Broadcasting Network. The whatreallyhappened website is now in its 18th year.

Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as an actor) into the then-new motion picture computer animation field and has worked on films such as "Star Trek", "The Day After Tomorrow", and has supervised visual effects on "Brainscan", "LOST", and "Hawaii Five-0". Michael has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism.

Michael's foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the death of White House deputy Council Vincent Foster.

Since that sudden beginning, Michael's website has expanded to cover diverse topics including the JFK assassination, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddam's non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and of course, the lies used to trick the United States into wars of conquest on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran.

Michael resides in Hawaii with his wife Claire, who is a composer and creates much of theme music used on the What Really Happened radio show.
