"Who am I?" Just a member of society who's taken notes on what has and hasn't worked for him."Why am I writing a self-help book?"Because if I really can make the world a better place, then I feel it's my responsibility as a member of society to do so. It's one of my theories. I had never really thought of writing out my theories. They've always just popped up as the situation warrants it. Until my friends started calling them "Stevoisms," it hadn't even dawned on me how many of these theories I actually had. I decided to go with 101, or so, of my theories for this book. Now what should I call this book? The Book of Stevoisms sounded kind of like a book of jokes more than a book of theories that can make the world a better place-hence the title, Me in Theory.
This book is written for you. Its a story that is your story. It is a wise and witty story of 20-plus years of work with medical professionals, hospitals and survivors of critical illnesses around the country. It is a story of hope and practical advice for victims and survivors of any serious illness and their families. And it is about life and values that grew with each step the author took to help heal others.Mr. Burns was struck down with a Cerebral Hemorrhage and declared dead at age 38. But he amazed the medical people by regaining consciousness and eventually a life. And he made it his work to help heal others. The book is a roadmap to recovery and is a follow-up to his first book, thus the title, Live or DieAct II.
How green is green? The average homeowner is usually well-informed about which products and concepts are considered "green," but they seem to have less of an understanding of how they compare, and which things work the best for the lowest investment. Did you know that 40 percent of the average home power bill is dedicated to air conditioning in warm climates? Further, energy is spent on cooking, hot water, clothes dryers, and such. Did you know that solar hydronic panels are way more efficient than solar voltaic panels? How about instantaneous water heaters? Are they good? Homeowners need to make dozens of decisions about which products or services they need in order to make their home the most efficient it can be for the given budget. Do you have mold or humidity problems? If you want to learn about things like the home envelope, HVAC, hot water, and electrical systems, this book is for you. It is written in plain English, and covers all the bases. Also, given are tips on saving the environment from an engineer's perspective. The author is a big fan of the environment, but does not like "greenwashing." The generic definition of greenwashing is the practice of making an unsubstantiated or misleading claim about the environmental benefits of a product, service, or technology. Pros and cons of various "green" products are discussed so that the homeowner can understand the smartest purchases and practices. One of the things you will learn is that the envelope of the home is just as important as the HVAC. You have to understand both to be successful. The envelope is thoroughly discussed as well as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and the various green technologies.
The election of the Biden/Harris ticket brought out appropriately 75% of all registered voters. It was historic that African American voters came out in numbers that surpassed the election where President Barack Obama won. The one item that was absent from most election information was the education policy of the Democrats, unlike the 2016 election between Clinton v. Trump. During that election front and center was the Hillary Clinton education agenda that clearly would punish alternative education in favor of public schools. The difference in this election came down to over turnout in three key cities: Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia-"Black Wall" for Joe Biden-where charter and schools of choice dominate the educational landscape. These parents were reluctant to vote democratic when education is on the ballot because traditional public education has failed these communities and left them out of mainstream economic growth.Therefore, the parents and grandparents in these communities have used Education Choice in hopes and prayers that their children and grandchildren could get a better public education. The landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education was supposed to give Blacks control of their public education, give Black teachers better wages, and equalize program funding. Why is it that over approximately 2,900,000 students select charters or schools of choice over local public schools? Why is that that over 80% of urban educators and their families make the same choice? Because public schools continue to fail urban youth and feed the pipeline to prison. This book goes in-depth as to why this is the case and why "money is in failure." How can urban educators sell a product to families that they themselves won't buy? Also, the solution of increasing teachers' pay and improving education is within the book.
