Dave Miller spent every summer as a child playing in the caves surrounding Greenville, West Virginia, deep in the Appalachian mountains. This started a series of lifelong strange coincidences that one day would draw him back to very place where he started his adventure. This life journey would prepare him somewhat for what he would find one day buried on the side of the mountain that contains the graves of his ancestors. Dave has been a contributor to Smithsonian Magazine, Ancient-Origins Magazine, Paranormal Underground Magazine, and (IONS) the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

Darron Spencer -

Humane Policing was the winner of the Book Excellence Award for the law category

Humane policing. Some would say that’s an oxymoron, but officer Darron Spencer believes those words are inseparable. In his three years with a busy sheriff’s office, Darron covered an enormous number of cases and arrested many individuals for a variety of crimes. Tellingly, 90% of those he arrested thanked him.

In his newly published book Humane Policing: How Perspectives Can Influence Our Performance, Darron explains his approach to law enforcement and how he worked to change perspectives, improve relationships, and induce cooperation with his fellow officers as well as with the general public he vowed to serve and protect.

By extension, Darron addresses the growing crisis in our society involving the frequently inhumane and unproductive – even when lawful – interactions between law enforcement and the public. Written for his fellow law enforcement professionals as well as the general public, Humane Policing explores why law enforcement needs to change, chronicles the experiences that shaped Darron’s perspective, and offers life-changing tools his colleagues can use to better serve the public.

Joshua Shapiro has been involved with the crystal skulls since 1983 when he saw one made out of amethyst in northern California (“Ami”). He felt such a strong connection with this artifact that since that time he has devoted his life and resources to sharing the best information he can about these crystalline artifacts with other people all over the world and the future role they will play to help our planet see world peace. He has had an opportunity to privately visit with a number of the well known crystal skulls in the world including: the “Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull of Love”, “ET”, the “British Museum Crystal Skull”, “Synergy” and “Ami” among others.

Since Katrina Head has entered in his life in the early spring of 2009, they have been working closely together. The Explorers offer various crystal skull presentations (lectures and workshops) to the public as well as a unique type of private consultation with their personal skulls that combines their individual spiritual and creative talents. In the picture shown here, we see Joshua holding the Brazilian carved crystal skull known as “Portal de Luz” (Portuguese for “Portal of Light”), who has traveled with him all over the world.

Joshua is the author of various books including his first book about the crystal skulls entitled “Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed”, written jointly with Sandra Bowen and the late, F. R. ‘Nick’ Nocerino. This book was published in 1989 and there is also a Portuguese edition issued in Brazil in 1993. He has released various versions of his new book, “Journeys of the Crystal Skull Explorers” since 2004 (as an e-book and printed edition in 3 foreign languages in Europe). Then in 2011, Joshua and his divine life partner Katrina released the first book in a new series called "Journeys of the Crystal Skull Explorers - The Travel Log series" with Travel Log #1, Mexico 2009 and then in late 2012 and early 2013, Travel Log #2 - Search for the Blue Skull in Peru.

Joshua is the co-founder of V J Enterprises (in Illinois, USA), which has been in operation since 1992, dedicated to sharing the best information that describes how our planet will be transformed into a “Golden Age” by the year 2013. Additionally, Joshua has offered a number of other public talks throughout the world that discuss current information about UFOs, the Bible Code and the Hollow Earth. He is actively involved with the non-profit organization: the World Mystery Research Center. This foundation is dedicated to studying various world mysteries which are believed to inherently contain vital encoded information necessary to create a peaceful world. He is the originator of a story for an action adventure film that portrays how world peace will happen by the end of 2012 waiting to be made (the script is completed).
