*LIFE IS THE PROJECT! The sooner we as a species recognize this one fact and change our thinking from a thing of value, to the essence of L.I.F.E. itself. The sooner we will become great benefactors indeed.*The chaos Y.O.U. are now witnessing on the streets and on the world stage is nothing new, except one. Y.O.U.! Y.O.U. are the difference maker.*Aristotle back in 400 BC said and I quote, "Poverty is the parent of revolution & crime". Poverty is created by man, so therefore man has the ability to resolve the issues leading to poverty if we so desire. However, will we? There is no doubt that we can, but will we? It is no doubt that we are able to accomplish anything we want to as a human species, including the elimination of poverty as a national and international issue.  At this very moment, there are a lot of people from around the world, who are looking for something new, refreshing, innovative, and creative to come along and help change the circumstances, & dialogue that are causing the growing chaos we are witnessing everywhere we look today.  Here at "The Team Vision", we are doing our part to become partners in a larger positive conversation about these very issues and changes. We invite you to join us in these conversations and efforts.Issues about the economy has to be at the center of any conversation if we are going to be honest about creating order & peace in every area of civilization. I would like to suggest here and now that there is a way to re-engineer our economies. One that will help to bring out the best in all of us without causing harm to any of us in the process. We have to give in order to receive. That is your first clue. Sounds familiar, doesn''t it? That is why we are here. Seriously!*There are four pillars in our economy that are responsible for its growth cycles. One of these pillars are very lethargic in relation to its true hidden prowess and needs to be re-engineered in order for us to increase our productivity in a new way.*We must not only increase the hearts and L.O.V.E. of man in order to bring about a more responsible and robust society. We must also bring about great change in the way we think (or don''t). Our L.I.F.E. depends on it.*WHAT IF?What if there was a way to make a profit by simply giving to a worthy cause unselfishly without penalty from the government and losing your tax deductible benefits as a result?What if you could do so where both the for-profit business and the nonprofit business were able to grow in revenue and profit? Is it possible? This is just one of the reasons why The Team " Vision was founded. To duplicate nature where nothing is ever created or destroyed, and to make a difference by creating possibilities for everyone involved to advance themselves.What if the idea of starting up a social business practice became so user-friendly, and became so accessible to all, that anyone and everyone could actually get involved with this industry to help others, help others, therefore helping ourselves in the process without measure? Which is the natural instinct of mankind anyway. All this occurring while simultaneously producing a new type of cash flow, "Perpetual Cash Flow".What if the idea of starting up a social business practice became more attractive for a new business startup than a traditional business? Wouldn''t the economy benefit in a magnificent way?*WHAT WE FOCUS AND THINK ABOUT ALL THE DAY LONG IS WHAT WE ARE AND WHAT WE BECOME! ALL OF US.

When you read ''Alaska Animal Tails'' series, it teaches you about the animals in the story, the lay of the land from an animals view, and the difference predators, herders, and watchers look at life. There is no thought for excuse, life just happens! Animals are good and bad, they just do not have the time to think about it. As they say, "You think long, you think wrong, and then you die."

"Truth Awakens, Daring To Dream Of Past Glory In Order To Envision Future Greatness"This story continues in the middle school setting of the initial book "See Us, From Whence We Come" in the Boerum Hill section of Brooklyn in the year 2020. The school is made up of a diverse cultural student body and teaching staff. The main characters are the TNT twins, brother and sister Tarik and Tiye Washington. They are two of the few children of African descent in their classes as well as the overall school general student body.It is the response to a class project of tracing the student''s family homeland history and heritage that sparks this journey of self-discovery and establishing a invigorated love and pride of Africa''s contributions to world. With the intervention of the twin''s parents and grandparents, they in fact are exposed to a truer representation of the Africa''s historical achievements over the millennia. Other students of European heritage had little difficulty in tackling the task at hand of historical research of their family homelands. The students of color, however on the other hand, faced a more stressful and challenging time in their research quest. Often the students resourced family elders for information reaching back to their family homeland of origin which was complemented by the history books in the school library for students of European heritage while little documented facts about Africans was readily available.  It is this paradigm that triggered the journey Tiye and Tarik set out on. It is as if the history of Africans only began once they were enslaved by Europeans and brought to the Americas? The accepted narrative seemed to imply that African peoples were just slaves, with no real value and history in the world, societies or cultures prior to their in slaved arrival in the Americas. The journey for the TNT twins so far has proven that not to be the case by any means, but quite the contrary.The twins, working as a team, would soon find out the truth about the great contributions African''s have had and are still providing to the world. This was particularly demonstrated in the realm of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics & Medicine). The information leading up to the conclusion was not easily obtained and offered a challenge for the young students of African descent. It was the knowledge of the family elders that bridged the information divide established by the limited educational curriculum that posed the greatest hurdle which necessarily had to be overcome. Was It not for the family''s intellectual background, which was steeped in ancient African history, the twins, like many other students of color and European background as well, never really would have been exposed to Africa''s vast world attributes? Educational system curriculum up to that point for the twins and their pear group alike, never really exposed the true greatness of Africa or it''s peoples to the diverse student body. However, this was practically the norm for all peoples of color while it was European greatness alone that was mostly stressed and re-enforced in the classroom lessons, history books and overall syllabus.With this newfound knowledge and understanding, the twins felt deprived of information that nurtured their wellbeing/self-esteem and would offer other students, across the cultural spectrum; a true and more complete understanding of the African experience.

This is what I consider to be the missing story about Captain Ahab. It will take you from the time of his birth to the first mention of his name in Herman Melville''s novel ''Moby Dick''. This story will explain to you, the people and events that shaped the man into that figure you see in Herman Melville''s novel. From himself and the description of himself by others, you will understand who he is, and why he is that way. You will experience his drive and determination, his aspirations and his shortcomings, his hopes and his fears. You will witness first hand his leadership in all matters and the obstacles that he had to overcome in his life to get to the point of being captain on the Pequod, along with the price he had to pay throughout his life, to achieve such a position. You will be taken whaling at a time when it was man, pitted against the largest adversary ever placed on the earth. Experience the thrills and consequences of a lifestyle long past, along with the joys and tragedy of a time gone by. Live out life and death on the high seas; on the other side of the world; where the only things you have to rely on, were each other, the wisdom of the men in charge that have gone before you, and God. Ultimately witness that battle between Captain Ahab and his nemesis Moby Dick. See how they scar each other to the core of their soul, and why neither one of then will let it go. The story will leave you at the very start of that great American novel, ''Moby Dick''. Hopefully for you it will answer all the lingering questions about just who was Captain Ahab, and what transpired in his life that made him that revengeful, compulsive madman you find in Herman Melville''s novel. No one could ever do justice to the legacy left behind by Herman Melville, and I have no illusions that I have done so. I just saw fit to shed some light on the unanswered questions that remained over the last two hundred or so years. Respectfully David Miceli

The story begins with how Jesus met the first Apostles and received baptism from John the Baptist, then follows what happened to Jesus and His closest followers during His illegal trial, conviction, torture, hideous crucifixion, and controversial burial. But the main characters of The Resurrection Chronicles-the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary''s sister, the Apostles, Nicodemus, and Joseph of Arimathea-realize that despite the danger, they have been called to pick up the pieces of Jesus'' message and share it with the world. They''re still trying to reach agreement about how best to do that three days after His burial when Jesus arises from His tomb and begins visiting His followers.But the time Jesus can remain on Earth is rapidly coming to an end. Forty days after his death, angels help Him ascend into the clouds and heavens above. Ten days later, Peter rises before a vast gathering of Jesus'' disciples and Jerusalem visitors and reminds them of all that has taken place in the past 50 days. And even though Jesus, Son of God, has left them, He still remains with them in the form of the Holy Spirit. And with the Holy Spirit, all things are possible.

Janet Andrews (a.k.a. Tinker Belle) has a unique gift; she understands the binary language of 1's and 0's, she's an infamous code writer. However, that gift comes with a steep price, she is naive to the nuances of social life, and is an easy mark for unscrupulous people. Her first venture beyond the safety of home was college, that ended in disaster and almost cost her life. It was a shadowy black ops group known as the Sentinels who rescued her, became her family, and encouraged her to use her coding skills to help maintain the scales of justice, no matter the cost. Even though her supercomputer gives her a portal into the lives of any electronically connected person or entity world-wide, she struggles to find answers in her personal life: who should she let into her private world; how truthfully should she answer their questions and share her hidden desires; and even more thought provoking - is she living life according to her rules or society's? Most know the proverb: "Curiosity killed the cat," but few know the second part, "Satisfaction brought it back." Tinker knew and was willing to take the risk.

There are Many Christian Believers in this World who do Not understand How to Pray effectively or what to Pray. I admitted to God so long ago that I did not know at one time myself. Since then, God has equipped and Ordained me to help those who admits that they need some help. God has provided me with so much Love, Peace, and Joy since I allowed Him to help me with the Art of Praying effectively. God says in His Word "When I Strengthen you, then you in turn are to help Strengthen you Brother(s) and Sister(s"). Therefore, Since God has Graced, equipped and prepared me with this Wisdom and Knowledge, He instructed me to Write this Collection of Prayers to help others who are Challenged in Mastering the Art of Prayer in Praying to a Holy God In the Name of Jesus. Prayer is Simply talking to God and Giving Him His Word(s) back. Why should we Pray Without Ceasing? Well, that's a Good question And I have a answer. First, God Word both decree and declares, that the Prayer of the Righteous availeth much. Secondly, Prayer does Not keep us from going through trials, however, Prayer does keep us Strong from the inside out, by Saying what God Said before, during, and After every trial we face, and NOT what we Say about it. Therefore, you got your answer, so what are you going to about your Prayer Life? To God Be The Glory!

A real-life encounter with a raptor-like creature from the age of dinosaurs. An era that never really ended. I am not the sort of person who goes out of his way looking for encounters with cryptid creatures. I have no interest in believing they are real. I never had any desire to encounter one. Until something appeared right in front of me on an Interstate highway. After experiencing several plateaus in my life, the truck-driving rhythm of the road has afforded me a lot of time to reflect on my life, my experience, and how to understand reality. My hours of contemplation led me to construct a worldview that emphasized the importance of a "bipedal" existence as a tie-in with all of life _ Christian life, in particular. I had a "driver's seat, front-row" experience with the largest bipedal event in all of human history. Applying my endeavors to this newfound-jet-airliner-winged dinosaur has led me to several startling new insights. The purpose of this book is to share these insights with you.

Since the Apple/Samsung litigation over the design of smartphones and tablets, the value of ornamental design patents has exploded within the intellectual property community primarily because of the unprecedented amount of money that changed hands for infringing Apple's design patents. As I testified in that case, other industrial designers have since asked me what does an industrial designer actually do during design patent litigation and how does one become an expert design witness. This book will give you a glimpse into the career of one of the pioneering industrial designers to serve as an expert design witness in design patent litigation. My first case was in 1992 and I have been involved in about 100 cases since. The products involved include the appearance of bubble wrap, candles, dog food, internal combustion engines, motorized necktie racks, artificial fingernails, smartphones, bricks, toilet paper, scrunchies (elastic pony tail holders), corkscrews and class rings to name a few.. Woodring weaves his many personal experiences into his more pragmatic teachings, making his story a delightful read, full of surprises, humor and human-interest stories that unexpectedly occur during serious courtroom trials, often with millions at stake.

Every American feeling anxious, concerned, and frightened about the COVID pandemic will benefit from reading Pandemic Blunder: Fauci and Public Health Blocked Early Home COVID Treatment. This book will help everyone protect their health by becoming better informed about medicines for preventing and curing the COVID infection. Pandemic Blunder is the first book to explain in detail how and why the federal government failed to do what medicine has always done: promote and support the earliest medical treatment that people can use in their home. Missing from current government actions is the early home/outpatient treatment for COVID that keeps people out of hospitals. The result was a pandemic blunder of massive proportions.Pandemic Blunder contains considerable medical information and data to support a number of proven safe, cheap generic medicines and protocols that knock out the coronavirus when given early. Read about the pioneering, courageous doctors who have been using innovative approaches to prevent their COVID patients from needing hospital care and facing death. The book includes many expert opinions from doctors who support the view that 70 to 80 percent of COVID deaths - many hundreds of thousands - could have been prevented. Don't be victimized by disinformation and propaganda from mainstream media. Learn how corrupt forces are aiming to make billions of dollars from expensive medicines and vaccines, and how hundreds of thousands of deaths could have-and should have-been prevented!Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn has decades of experience working on health issues and is a member of the two medical organizations most active in advocating for early home COVID treatment, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and America's Frontline Doctors. He wrote Pandemic Blunder to stop the blundering. It is not too late. We can prevent more deaths from COVID.

In the first edition of this book, I began by saying that my purpose was not to write a typical municipal history. That still stands. Too often such studies are little more than exercises in boosterism. Instead, I wanted this account to be critical. Most people think the word means something negative or censorious, but it doesn't have to. In my estimation, the preferred synonymous for being critical are evaluating, explaining, interpreting, and expounding. This necessarily entails revealing both the light and the darkness in researching the history of Stockton or any other subject for that matter. In her new history of the United States, We Hold These Truths (2018), Harvard historian Jill Lepore insists that history is "not merely a form of memory but also a form of investigation, to be disputed, like philosophy, its premises questioned, its evidence examined, its arguments countered." She goes on to say that history requires "subjecting the past to skepticism, to look to beginnings and not to justify ends, but to question them-with evidence." The task of the historian is therefore not to be deferential and compliant but to be curious and skeptical. I try to be so in this revised edition.To be frank, I have still found more disreputable persons and disquieting events in the city's past than I had expected to. It was if, as I wrote earlier, I walked into a dense forest, came upon a moss-covered log, and kicked it over for no apparent reason, only to find numerous bugs, worms, spiders, centipedes, and other crawling critters underneath. I suppose that all cities have a seamy side to their history (friends from elsewhere have assured me of that) and that Stockton is not exceptional in that regard. In any event, I have decided not to conceal any of the city's numerous scandals, pathologies, shady characters, and missed opportunities. This is even more the case in this second edition than in the first. Responding to my commitment to reveal both the light and darkness in Stockton's history, a Stocktonian who read the new preface rightly reminded me, "As most natives of Stockton we know this city is not perfect. But we are diverse, critical of ourselves and still love what we see. No one or nowhere is perfect."In this new version I have more fully examined the mental illness of Charles M. Weber, the founder of the city of Stockton. In assessing his psychological problems, I have drawn material from a provocative paper written in 2011 by Russell Livingston, a docent at the San Joaquin County Historical Museum in Lodi on "A Forensic Analysis and Etiological Speculation Concerning the Behavior of Charles Weber." I have also included a new section on the tragic and mysterious death of his son, Thomas Jefferson Weber, from a total nervous collapse or something even worse. The historical record changes over time, as we ask new questions of the past in light of pressing current concerns. Historians call this process revisionism. In the first edition of this book, I devoted a significant section to the Great Influenza of 1918-1919. However, given the dimensions and repercussions of the current Covid-19 pandemic, I have more than tripled the size of my earlier treatment of the so-called Spanish Flu to see if we can learn valuable lessons from that earlier catastrophe, which killed more than 50 million people around the world. In general, I have explored in greater detail in this new version the impact of various diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, cholera, and typhoid on the history of Stockton and its leaders and its people.

Kevin Fodor has gone by many "on air names" in his nearly 50 year broadcasting career. Currently on air at WHIO AM-FM/WHKO-FM and WZLR-FM in Dayton, Ohio, but has worked in large and small towns in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. He has also been heard doing shows or interviews on stations in Florida, Georgia and other states, and has even been a contributing reporter to radio news networks such as ABC Radio, Fox News Radio, The National Black Network, the BBC and others. He is also a broadcast educator, working at the International College of Broadcasting in Dayton, Ohio where he is a substitute radio instructor, has built and programs an internet radio station (Radio ICB) which broadcasts to the world and runs and programs a low powered FM operation at Indian Lake, Ohio. And here's what people who know him, say about him: I first met Kevin Fodor 50 years ago when, as a high school student, he came out to nightly remote broadcasts I was hosting for WAVI Radio. He has gone from voluntarily helping set up and tear down broadcast equipment back then to over-achieving almost every goal he would have had back then. Kevin has done it all, while leading, mentoring and inspiring many, many others. His wisdom and creative brilliance are all on display in these pages. I know you'll love getting to know my friend, Kevin Fodor thanks to this enlightening and inspiring book. -Jaye Albright, Retired Broadcasting Consultant for Albright, O'Malley and Brenner Broadcasting Consultants. Kevin is one of the best friends a radio transmitter ever had...and one of the best weapons a radio programmer can have in his arsenal. He not only KNOWS but LOVES the business of radio and always shows up with 100% to give (no matter what the task) to get the job done. I don't believe there's a job inside a radio station that Kevin hasn't tackled in his long radio career - whether or not he actually held a particular job title. That alone should make this an interesting read. He's dedicated to a fault because he is passionate about the business. I'm positive that somewhere there's a marriage certificate that proves he's been married to radio all these years. -Former "in the trenches" co-worker and occasional boss - Rob Ellis, Vice President/Owner AQ Productions. Rowdy (Kevin Fodor) is part of a rare species of broadcasters. He grew up enchanted by legendary Top 40 stations like CKLW, then went on to build a successful radio career for himself and has survived by being versatile enough to handle diverse formats on multiple stations. Can't wait to read this book! -Bob Moody, former Country Programming Format Leader for Nationwide Communications and former on air talent at CKLW/Detroit-Windsor (known as "The Big 8"). Working "in the radio biz" for 43 plus years, I've had the pleasure to cross paths and work with Kevin many times. The one word that comes to mind is "versatility". He truly is a "jack of all trades" when it comes to radio. Even in his role as a broadcast instructor, Kevin brings a depth of experience and perspective that is priceless. -Tommy Collins, Radio Department Head, International College of Broadcasting; Dayton, Ohio. Kevin's long career in Broadcasting created some great stories that anyone who has ever worked in radio can relate to. Kevin has been part of broadcasting dynasties in Ohio and has a unique perspective unlike any other. -Nick Roberts, Radio Vice President and Marketing Director for Cox Media Group, Dayton, Ohio.
