About 20 years ago I took a learn to sail program. I spent a week with a good friend sailing around Vancouver Island. It was an amazing way not only to get to sail, but also to experience first-hand the beauty of the wildlife and scenery.
Learning to sail, there are calm seas and rough seas, and there are times when you hit the doldrums. By sailing definition, the doldrums are an equatorial region of the Atlantic Ocean where the prevailing winds are calm and have been known to trap sail powered boats for days.
Everyone who has ever been alive has spent part of your life in this zone, not while sailing, but in your personal and professional lives when there has been inactivity, stagnation or depression.
1. Be Creative. Think inside the box that you work in and find simple things to change, like your arrival time, where you get your coffee, lunch, change of wardrobe, moving things around in your working space, etc. Look for simple ideas to disrupt the ways you are approaching your work challenges. Do something original or different from your norm.
2. Take Action. What are the things (and there are always things) that you have been sitting on, putting on the back-burner, waiting for more information on, or let's say it plainly – procrastinating? What about that course you were going to take? That new person you were going to hire? That new app you were planning on launching? Just do it.
3. Have fun. When is the last time you did something fun for yourself or your team? It can be something simple like a potluck or bringing in donuts for everyone, or it could be sharing something amusing. Take yourself a little bit less seriously; laugh and make others laugh.
Learning to navigate out of the doldrums is the key to moving forward. The good news is that you will eventually get back to where there is "good wind" to pick up momentum & speed.

NYT Highlighted '15 Remarkable Women'—One of Them Was a Man
Alex Nitzberg
Biology bowed to ideology on "International Women's Day" March 8th as the New York Times published what it claimed were the obituaries of "15 remarkable women"—except one of those women was actually a biological male.
The Times described Marsha P. Johnson (who's birth name was Malcolm Michaels Jr.) as "an activist, a prostitute, a drag performer and, for nearly three decades, a fixture of street life in Greenwich Village."
The obituary parenthetically noted that, "(The term transgender was not in wide use in Johnson's lifetime; she usually used female pronouns for herself, but also referred to herself as gay, as a transvestite or simply as a queen.)"
And throughout the obituary the Times consistently referred to Johnson with female terminology. "She battled severe mental illness. She was usually destitute and, for much of her life, effectively homeless," the Times said.
The obituary also stated: "Her goal, she declared in an interview for a 1972 book, was 'to see gay people liberated and free and to have equal rights that other people have in America,' with her 'gay brothers and sisters out of jail and on the streets again.' She added, in a reference to the radical politics of the time, 'We believe in picking up the gun, starting a revolution if necessary.'"
Titled "Overlooked," the collection of obituaries featured individuals that the Times did not write about at the time they deceased. "Since 1851, obituaries in The New York Times have been dominated by white men. Now, we're adding the stories of 15 remarkable women," the news outlet said about the obits.
The Times said it will produce more obituaries about people it did not cover at the time they died and it will enlarge the scope of these obits to include people besides women.

When we were young we were so blasé about taking risks. We thought that living safe humdrum lives was the ultimate of boredom. We wanted excitement, adventure and risk.
That's not so easy when it comes to allowing your children the freedom to experiment. We have seen the risks, seen friends die, seen the outcomes. The dangers are now clear.
But how do we find a good balance? Kids have to have freedom to grow yet we want to keep them safe.
This song focusses it for me.

A search is presented for a singly produced excited bottom quark (b*) decaying to a top quark and a W boson in the all-hadronic, lepton+jets, and dilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at s√=8 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 are used. No significant excess of events is observed with respect to standard model expectations. We set limits at 95% confidence on the product of the b* quark production cross section and its branching fraction to tW. The cross section limits are interpreted for scenarios including left-handed, right-handed, and vector-like couplings of the b* quark and are presented in the two-dimensional coupling plane based on the production and decay coupling constants. The masses of the left-handed, right-handed, and vector-like b* quark states are excluded at 95% confidence below 1390, 1430, and 1530 GeV, respectively, for benchmark couplings. This analysis gives the most stringent limits on the mass of the b∗ quark to date.


Shares of mobile payments and financial technology company Square (NYSE: SQ) surged to new highs in the trading days following its third-quarter earnings report last week. Better-than-expected adjusted top- and bottom-line figures, as well as a move to raise full-year guidance, have investors looking up.
Highlighting the stock's recent bullish run, Square finished the week with a market capitalization slightly higher than that of Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) -- another company Square CEO Jack Dorsey leads. At the time of this writing, the market capitalizations for Twitter and Square are $15.01 billion and $15.2 billion, respectively, according to Reuters data. Square stock is up an impressive 237% in the past 12 months and 59% in the last three months alone.
Here's a look at some of the metrics behind Square's bullish run.
As Square carefully pointed out in its third-quarter shareholder letter, its growth is accelerating. Total net revenue and adjusted revenue in Q3 were up 33% and 45% year over year, respectively. In Twitter's second quarter, these same metrics were up 26% and 41% year over year.
Interestingly, a similar trend is occurring at Dorsey's Twitter, albeit in a far less impressive manner. For Twitter, its year-over-year declines in revenue are improving. Twitter's Q3 revenue was down 4% year over year, compared to a 5% year-over-year drop in Q2.
With both Square and Twitter trading higher after their earnings releases, it's easy to see how investors are quick to applaud improving revenue trends.
Square has been doubling down on efforts to make its products as open as possible. To do this, Square launched Build with Square -- a set of APIs (application programming interface) for sellers to be able to integrate Square's products, services, and data with other business systems -- last year. This open platform strategy is paying big dividends.
"Sellers and developers have been using our E-Commerce and Point of Sale APIs to integrate Square with their app, website, or point of sale, which has led to Square-connected apps for everything from tea shops to taxis," Square explained in its third-quarter shareholder letter.
Thanks to Square's aggressive open platform strategy, "sellers using business systems that are integrated with Square contributed nearly 20% of third-quarter [gross payment volume (GPV)]," Square said.
While Square's transaction revenue accounts for the bulk of total revenue, investors shouldn't underestimate the growing importance of Square's subscription and services revenue. Revenue from the segment was $65 million in Square's third quarter, up 84% year over year. This growth easily outperformed Square's 31% and 23% year-over-year increases in its transaction-based revenue and hardware revenue segments, respectively.
Furthermore, thanks to how profitable its subscription and services segment is, it now represents a meaningful portion of Square's gross profit -- at 21%. Square said growth in this important segment was driven by Instant Deposit, Caviar, and Square Capital.
Square drew investors' attention to Instant Deposit and Square Capital, saying.
"Instant Deposit volume of $2 billion in the third quarter benefited from increased usage by Square sellers and Cash app individuals, both of whom value speed to access their funds."
"Square Capital facilitated 47,000 business loans totaling $303 million, up 45% year over year."
Helping confirm investors' bullish outlook for Square's business, the company increased its full-year outlook. Management said it now expects 2017 adjusted revenue to be between $963 million and $966 million, up from a previous forecast for adjusted revenue between $925 million and $935 million. The midpoint of this guidance range represents a 41% increase in revenue compared to 2016. For Square's fourth quarter, management expects year-over-year revenue growth of 37%.
With Square stock rising so sharply recently, expectations are sky-high. Investors should look for this momentum to continue in Q4 and in 2018.

12 STORIES FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE RONIN POETZ, CODE-47: MEMOIRS OF A HIP-HOP HEIST, AND A COMPANY OF MOORS!!!!
AVAILABLE NOW!!!!
Yesterday I turned 34. 30 years ago, on my fourth birthday, I received as a gift a sky-blue typewriter. I composed my first 'professional' story on it that night. No pencil, no pen, no crayon. No yellow, square paper for kids. This was 'professional' white paper, and it was typed.
Concept was pretty deep (for a four year old): older kids living in a house. One at home trying to guess who was in the next room by the sounds being made. And I tell you now, that at the age of four, with a limited vocabulary, I drafted a one-page story far better than a lot of crap I see being published now.
And so we're just waiting
and waiting
for Amazon (dot) slow to update the cover art. Other than that, the book is available, and some people have already been purchasing it, kinda forcing my hand to do a soft advertisement. When all is up and going, then the big stuff hits.
In far greater news, I'm one chapter in on the new project. I'll have more news on that once 12 Stories High has been promoted better. I'm mad excited. I'll probably start chapter two either tonight or tomorrow.
The proof for 12 Stories High has been approved. The new edition of the book will be open to markets over the next coming days. I'll give a BLAST when the book is fully available for order online and in stores. It looks good.
My main concern is the update to online sites (amazon and barnes and noble...ect) for updating their catalog to reflect the new cover, so people know that a new version of the book is available. It took forever to update Code-47 . Eventually, I had to bury my foot into people to get things current.
Gettin' my proper boots ready.
No April Foolin'.
And we're off. 12 Stories High is off to the races. Intense work was done over the weekend to go over all edits, the application of edits. We're looking good. This after noon, around 2 o'clock, the final interior of the book was given to the printers. A final proof was ordered, and all will be well for approval for the distributors to update their catalogs with the new volume of 12 Stories High: The Imaginative Thru a Black Mind. I'm in the middle of working on a re-lease commercial. Completely threw out the script for the one I was working on. Is starting to look completely different.
A journey at an end, and a new one coming right on its heels. Not just talking about the next writing project, or the next release (2 Enlighten The G.O.D.Z.), but a major business over haul for Ancient-Art-Facts. A lot of planning was done over the weekend while the editors were hard at work to make sure 12 Stories High was spotless. The company's new direction can, for the moment, only be described as 'maturing', much like my writing. The company too has to fit its output. More on this as it develops.
Until then, stay tuned.

Gun Jump
Got a little ahead of ourselves. There will be one more go through for 12 Stories High this weekend. One last sweep. A final approval, and then it's off to the printer for the final time.
Stick 'em up punk!
12 Story High Rise
All commercials have been updated, but not uploaded. The book has been sifted through to see if there needed any cleanup on the application (and there did, plus some re-edits, and of course, looking through those as well. We have this book looking good.
I'll say this, we might not have caught everything--hopefully the major typos and glaring edits have been scooped up and tossed away for good, but the book looks and reads amazing. Its flow is exactly as it should have been so long ago.
Much like A Company of Moors , this book too is a release. The core 4 are in effect. I feel like we're getting to the real stuff when it comes to the stories I want to tell, and the pretentious 'deeper meanings' I want to showcase. This go around for 12 Stories didn't leave me as exhausted as when I originally wrote the book between '05 and '06. I didn't have to compose original stories, convert stories from finished and unfinished screenplays, short films, or re-work old short stories and characters and themes. There was just the edit. At first, it seemed daunting, especially when I hit the first story. I tried to edit it from an actual copy of the book. That didn't go well at all. I had to go back into the actual document and damn near re-write the story. Did that for all of them. When the flow of the stories were intelligible and readable, and all the upfront angry, nigger-militant tone and voice was [somewhat] removed, the stories became tolerable, even from my point-of-view.
But, I was never really bogged down with having literary-schizophrenia. When I first wrote these stories, putting them together within this compilation, there was no time to pause or sleep. And I wrote loooong hours into the night and early morning, only to rest and jump 'write' back into it. Then I edited. That also doesn't include the eight other stories I wrote that didn't make the cut, or the stories I composed as outlines and notes that I spent time on, but did not pursue. Some of those stories will make their way into other works. Then came editing, which we all know, with my tired eyes, and just me, didn't do all that well. That goodness for little-to-no promotion.
The next release up should come between October and December of this year . 2 Enlighten the G.O.D.Z.
[EDIT: I am well aware that the teasers say 'August'. Everything has been pushed back because 12 Stories did not come in February, but April]
All elements for Ray Cosico to use for a cover have been in his hands for a while. We talked on the phone a couple times just recently. Ray should have a rough draft within a month or two (or three). I'll probably a couple more glances at the interior before deciding that it is in its final phase. Of course, I will begin writing a new project (as I have spoken about, all the notes and things) come late April or mid-May.
Maybe even June 1st.
Again, like A Company of Moors , I'm diggin' the fact I have some breathing time.
Writing is always an adventure.
Charactude
For the most part, on this new project, I have the chronology, and I've definitely have the mood and tone of the piece. It fluxes between mystical-magical, noire, and even a hint of a Western, not in the sense that it takes place in the Old West, or even in America's South West--but a sense that some of the characters carry themselves like old school gunslingers. Badass, without being cliche.
The main character has been fun to shape. One of the things I liked about going back to 12 Stories High is that it put me in the focus of centering on one character, something I haven't concentrated on since composing 12 Stories High initially between '05 and '06. The Ronin Poetz and 2 Enlighten The G.O.D.Z., even further back. Although, clearly, the main character for Code-47 (Keith Joseph) is the focus, I still view it as an ensemble because its written in the same aspects of a heist film. The concentration is not always on Keith, but also on the other crew members and their specialties. And A Company of Moors has at least 20,000 characters, each of which gets his or her own focus. Hey, it's a historical epic that has twice the amount of words (220,000+) than a traditional epic novel (110,000).
At first, the main character started off as someone determined for revenge. The revenge aspect has been taken away. Too cliche. The determination remains, but its now just to find answers, all the answers to a a lot of questions. Plot. There was also a time where this character was supposed to be completely insane, haunted by the ideas in his head (songs. He's a musician; a trumpet player). This was thought of while I was in the middle of A Company of Moors and completely stressed-the-fuck out about finishing the book. The haunting remains, but it doesn't stick. Way too 'artistic' self-indulgent. I've re-worked the idea for it not to be overly melodramatic. The main character is no longer insane; he's become more inviting to the strangeness around him. Until he has to assist in blowing off someone's head. That's a little disturbing.
Instead of having this dominant quirk as a personality, I've tried to make him just human. A lot of the characters I've come up with can be summed up in a word or two, even though, in my opinion (humble as it is not...joke) they are round characters. Al-Jeheuty: Negotiator. Keith Joseph: Trickster. Maa Kheru: Warrior. Bo Yusuf: Soldier. Mehit: Realist and organizer. Lawrence Forsythe: cynical realist. Aludra: Innocence lost. Sesen: the romantic daydreamer...ect.
But I did look back to A Company of Moors and focus on the character Nasir. This new character will probably less naive, and less to prove himself that he's naive. His determination for answers push his naivety aside. He understands he doesn't know, but he's determined to understand his new environment.
It's gonna be a helluva fairy tale. With guns and brutal murder. Like the old school fairy tales.
I've gathered all the notes for the new project. Old notes. They're probably five to ten years old. At one time, this project was supposed to be a short movie. Part of a script was put together, written around 2000, 2001, and revisited fall of 2004. I got as far as the first 30 pages, 35. It's now notes. I don't think I'll use any of the dialogue. It's kinda hokey, and because it was intended for a visual project (short film or graphic novel) there's a lot of exposition. I'm still debating on a couple subplots that pop up within these first 30 pages. Sickness. Health. Death. Living. Easy, non-emotional things. I do think they'll be toned down, though. Again, don't want to make things hokey.
With all the notes that I've gathered I feel like George Lucas after he was done filming A New Hope . I got a bunch of 'raw footage' (the notes) but it's all sloppy, disjointed. It's a heap, and it looks scary. But I think I can handle it. I just finished the renovation of the 12 Stories. I just need to take a deep breath, and then I need to take a broad sweep of all the notes. I keep looking at the pacing of the 'script'. I've written a little bit of the opening scene in prose. Not much has changed. It's just about an open field, 1953, the South, which particular state, not too sure yet. But our heroes are driving from New Orleans, heading north to Harlem, New York. Originally, it was just a city with no name. Somewhere that could be anywhere. Ultimately, over the years, I started to understand that the city would be New York City. Harlem.
Also, there is something very special that needs to be written parallel to the main story and incorporated into the entire story, a la "The Story of the Nine (or Five) Black Bastards" from A Company of Moors . This is definitely where the exploded mess of notes exist. The main story, for the most part, has been hacked out and outlined. Now the story running parallel has to be straightened out. And I've had this story on the back burner for just the same amount of time.
I'm killing two birds with one stone.
The budget for this book is 250 pgs. So, of course, that means it'll be 1000 pages long.
Editing Job: Application II
All edits have been applied, finished yesterday, early morning. The rest of the time for this weekend will be spent on making sure that all edits have been applied properly. A first run through of this was done yesterday afternoon, but it's never a bad idea to make a second run through.
12 Stories High looks and feels amazing in its current read. The stories are in their finished, and most complete form. The stories resonate like individual tracks on an album, but compliment one another as a whole in this book of 'short' stories. As I've said before, there is an unofficial trilogy within the book, holding the theme of resurrecting the 'black woman'. The metaphors of the story a far more striking than anything that has been written within contemporary books dealing with black women's issues. These stories already existed in the book (obviously), but as I continued to reference them as carrying the same theme, I decided the stories should be labeled as such. The other stories are now carried by the characters and the stories. The tone is also defined by these two elements, no longer by my biased judgment and emotions.
12 Stories High fits perfectly within the literary pantheon of my other works, and makes a clear case for the future works. My works will be varied in genre, and hopefully I can keep focused to make them strong. I'm confident that my current works are honed to the best of my craft, and that my future works will be even stronger. Muahahahahahahaha!
I mean, c'mon. No writer wakes up and says, "I'm gonna write something completely terrible for my next project."
Not even people that write 'Urban' Fiction.
Editing Job: Application
The proof is not positive, but it ain't negative either. A few errors to correct, and as of now I'm on the final story, having sifted through the books pages rigorously over the last two weeks. It's safe to say this is the final edit. All that is left, besides the final story, is the application process. Then, a quick review, and a push for availability.
I'm excited to have the 'core four' be out and on sale for the public. Still being flooded with e-mails. The teaser trailers for the book will be re-done to display "AVAILABLE NOW...ect" information, and a final release trailer will be put together. April 1st most likely will be the release date. No April foolin'. Three weeks is more than enough time for the final phase of the book, and the preparation for promotion to all outlets, on and offline.
The stories run very smooth. This enormous effort of editing has given the stories the individual personalities they were supposed to have, composed like an album...Prince-like. Every song different from the last, even if the theme remains the same, the presentation varies. Kinda like part of an answer I gave in an interview with Miss Tiffany A. Flowers. You can read the interview here. I had fun with that one.
The delayed release for 12 Stories High has also delayed the release for 2 Enlighten the G.O.D.Z., the second epic poem. It has gone from July to possibly October. In the meantime, I've continued to tighten up the notes for the next project. It is not Book One of a larger project, it will suffice as the larger story's prologue. I hope to begin writing around April 21st. There are a few things that need to be solidified for the plot and flow, but characters, backstory, connections, are for the most part operating at 95%. It's gonna be a helluva ride.
Miami Spider
The timeline for this new, multi-book project has been ironed out. Dates, ages, have all been shaped to make sense. It didn't take as long as I thought it would be, and an element to the story, that will play in the background for now, has been put together and has weight.
I have two more sections of this timeline to lay out, that flows more into the book I'll begin writing, setting up the characters that inhabit this world of 1957 America. I just downloaded some inspiration music. We 'bout 2 get mystical psychedelic.
On some other notes, I just finished an interview with Tiffany Flowers, as well as getting prepped for a radio interview with Soul City Radio with DeWayne Alston. I've also been corresponding with a brother out in Holland, and I'll be popping up on his radio show to do some speaking, 12 Stories High related.
An Expanding Universe
It has been a helluva month. Teasers abound. Promotion running rampant. We're down to the final proof for 12 Stories High before its re-release into the world. All of the commercials for the Imaginative Campaign are up and running. The commercials will get a change when the book is re-released.
There was a mix up with ordering the proof, and we got it late. As much as our noses are in the grind, and are fingers are flipping through the pages and eyes scanning every word, we're hitting the mark a little late. Not a problem. The book will drop in March. We're giving this last proof extreme care before rolling out the okay for release. I've been doing more interviews, being e-mailed questions, asked questions, and when 12 Stories is finally out on the market, there will be a wide range of topics to cover. The Core Four (The Ronin Poetz , 12 Stories High, Code-47 , and A Company of Moors ) will finally be at the forefront they deserve.
But along with all this work, there has been some definite play. The next BIG project, the project that will be released after 2 Enlighten The G.O.D.Z., is in the middle of its casting call. The characters for the first part of this grand tale are being shaped, and the main character is near his finale. So much so, that I'm extremely excited. His look has been put together, a sort of concept art in my head, and made into notes on a page (saved in a word document). I'm pulling from different sources and existing characters from movies, books, and other forms of stories to bring out his personality. I know who the character is, but I don't want one emotion to become his personality and ultimately being a cliche. That goes for any of the characters. At the same moment, because there's a greater story beyond the first book in this project, a backstory is being formed. I'm connecting the dots to make the story plausible and a whole picture. A timeline is being created to make sure character ages and time periods add up.
This story was not originally attached to this larger story that arcs over several projects (books) when I first started to outline the idea back in late May of 2000. Over the years, much has been attached to this particular story, including what I'll describe at the moment as a creative structure that itself was supposed to be a separate idea and project. This story holds a lot of mysticism, and is a stand alone story to the rest of the books planned for the series. But I felt it was an excellent gateway into this mystical world. The ultimate, modern African-American fairy tale. There was so much of a rich history inside this larger world (as I composed it separately, beginning around 2002), so much that could not be told within the story, and it felt that something was missing, this story's template could tell that missing element. When readers dive into the next part of this story, they'll appreciate the setting because they'll know the struggle(s) that past characters had to go through to bring about where the other installments will be set.
A new idea emerges. I'll spend the next two weeks putting together the first group of characters for this project, trying to shaping their individual arcs, and create a palpable environment around them. There's one aspect to the story, at the moment, that I have to look closely at to see if the timeline of events makes sense, spanning from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Once that has been solidified, actual writing will begin around late April.
I'll keep you posted between 12 Stories High and there.
Press Release, and All That
Finished the final application of edits for 12 Stories High. Last night I gathered notes together for the next project. Was having a lot of fun putting the ideas together, carving out the characters, motivations, and their larger story.
I had to re-work one of the teasers, so, the launch of will come tomorrow, as well as sending off the (hopefully) final manuscript for 12 Stories High to the printer/distributor. Also, the last three commercials will be featured overtime, rather than shoved down people's throats all at once.
back 2 work.
January has been a helluva month. It's been a buckle-down, crunch-time, hardcore promotion for 12 Stories High's re-release. And more on the way. All 12 stories have had several run-thru edits. Now, we're in the final phases of application of edits (one last story), and then ultimately a 2nd proof, which we hope to be completely immaculate.
New commercials for 12 Stories High have been posted to the youtube AncientArtPublishing channel as the Imagination Campaign. They've also been posted to social networking sites. It's only two commercials, but there are three more on the way, coming tomorrow and hitting hard. We're just steps closer to having the core four of books displayed, at the ready for purchase and read.
Hopefully there will be a roughdraft of 2 Enlighten the G.O.D.Z.'s cover sometime around April. Also, a new set of characters, plot, and setting are being rounded up for the beginning segment of a large story. Notes are being gather as I write this now (a little upset that a set of notes are buried under a lot of crap, lying in a box). Tomorrow, February 1st, begins a great, many things.
2011: The Year of the Cheat Code
Okay. A goal will finally be reached. This year. 2011. Two projects released. One year. Two books. We have coming up first, 12 Stories High: The Imaginative Trip Thru a Black Mind. And we also have 2 Enlighten The G.O.D.Z. But, as the title of this entry says, this is a year of cheat codes. 12 Stories is just a re-release. So, does that count. Yeah. To me. And 2 Enlighten The G.O.D.Z. has been finished since 2001, with some minor retouches here and there. So, although I've worked on the re-edits, the two works are not exactly being written from scratch and handed out in an immaculate form.
But, hey, it counts.
Doesn't it?
Well, I will be getting to work on the fantasy epic that will arc over a series of books. I've been outlining the first book, which will be a helluva story. I'll dive into writing this come April or so. Can't wait. Hopefully it will get a 2012 release...barring the so-called end of the world.
This blog will get fatter again, with more information of that fantasy epic -- at least Book One. More entries in this blog. This year is gonna be big for Ancient-Art-of-Facts. Get fat with us. I'm nothing short of excited.

If you're a fan of NIN you'll know about this already; and if you're a bit indifferent to them it's a perfect way to see if they can win you over. Nine Inch Nails have made a new album, The Slip, available for free on that there world wide web.
If you head to the official Nine Inch Nails website you'll be able to download the new album in a variety of digital formats. Coming just a couple of months after the online release of their last album, Ghosts I-IV, you might think Trent the Reznor is being a bit previous with this new release. Well, if you think you can improve on the tracks contained on The Slip, you can also remix them all.
So if you think NIN could do with some ragga treatment, now's your chance. Meanwhile, if you're one of those 20th century types who likes to have a physical representation of your audio possessions, the album will also be released on vinyl and CD in July.
It's very easy for artists to give stuff away for free when they're already swimming in dollars, of course, but let's give the Rez a "bravo" for embracing the internet and showing his peers what they can do with it. Having said that, this is not the green light for Scouting For Girls to start releasing new albums every couple of months.

Maine's Experienced Title 12 Attorney – Fish, Game, Boating and ATV Law
With some of the largest forests in the nation, 3,478 miles of coastline, and countless other natural resources, like lakes, beaches, mountains, hunting, and fishing, Maine's wilderness has something to offer everyone. That's why Maine has had to come up with extensive laws regulating how people can use the great outdoors, so that others can enjoy it, as well.
All of these laws can be found in Title 12 of Maine's Revised Statutes. This document, a full 1,197 pages long, has been divided into thirteen parts and makes for heavy reading.
Maine's Title 12 Summary
The portion of Title 12 that most people will have to deal with is Part 13. This portion of Title 12 creates the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, a government department whose mission is to preserve, protect, enhance, and effectively manage the inland fisheries and wildlife resources in Maine, and encourage their wise use. This includes the granting and enforcing of licenses and permits for hunting and fishing in the state of Maine. All of the requirements that need to be met in order to get a hunting or a fishing license comes from Title 12, Part 13.
Part 13 also makes many things illegal. Among the things that Part 13 prohibits are the operation of a motor vehicle on a public water supply, the failure to stop for a law enforcement officer, the abuse of another person's property while fishing, hunting, or trapping, harass hunters, trappers, or anglers, failing to notify the Bureau of Warden Service of a lost, stranded, or drowned person, defacing public notices, trespass on private land, or hunt or operate watercraft, snowmobile, or an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) under the influence. People who hunt or operate a watercraft, snowmobile, or an ATV have the duty to submit to chemical testing by law enforcement under Part 13 of Title 12 and can face penalties if they do refuse. Part 13 also provides the general rules for license applications, requirements, and revocations, and sets out the general rules for hunting restrictions.
Chapter 915 of Title 12, Part 13 includes specific instructions on the hunting season, requirements and fees for both licenses and permits, and lists general unlawful hunting acts. This chapter also provides the laws having to do with hunting bear, deer, moose, wild turkey, game bird, raccoon, hare and rabbits, and coyote, as well as miscellaneous laws on training hunting dogs and importing wildlife. Chapter 917 deals with trapping, including the license requirements and fees, while Chapter 919 handles the registration and transportation of harvested animals.
In addition to its provisions on hunting, Part 13 also deals with fishing. Chapter 923 sets out fishing seasons, license and permit requirements, and improper fishing methods.
Part 13 also includes several sections that deal with an assortment of other issues relating to the outdoors, such as trail guides, whitewater rafting, and taxidermists, as well as recreational vehicles, snowmobiles, and ATVs.
Another important piece of Title 12 is Part 9, which deals with conserving Maine's seacoast and offshore areas. Part 9 creates the Department of Marine Resources, which handles issues such as permits, licenses, and regulations for offshore fishing, including lobster and crabs, finfish, shellfish, and scallops, as well as other species of saltwater fish.
Other pieces of Title 12 are less likely to be encountered by the public. Nevertheless, it's helpful to be aware of their existence.
Part 1 of Title 12 is concerned with the conservation of Maine's water and soil. This part of Maine's conservation regulations is meant "to provide for and encourage the optimal use of the State's agricultural resources" by making the state's soil and water resources available to those who need them. This includes the prevention and the control of soil erosion, flooding, the impairment of dams and reservoirs, and insuring the navigability of Maine's rivers and harbors. These regulations of Part 1 act to not only preserve Maine's abundant wildlife; it also protects the health, safety, and general welfare of the state's citizens, as well as the state's tax base by ensuring that people can enjoy and benefit from the state's natural beauty.
Part 2 of Title 12 deals with rivers, forests, lakes, and parks in Maine. This aspect of conservation, however, balloons quickly to include many other elements of conservation, as well.
Part 2 expressly tries to find a "well-reasoned balance among the competing uses of the state's rivers and streams," and that this balance attempt to revitalize waterfronts, maintain Maine's scenic beauty, further the development of hydroelectric power, improve the productivity of the state's inland fisheries, and expand the opportunities for outdoors and Maine's 32,000 miles of rivers and streams. In doing so, Title 12, Part 2 puts special protections on the uses of 18 rivers in the state, such as the Aroostook, Kennebec, Penobscot, and Saco rivers, and regulates floodplains.
This part also includes the Maine Cave Protection Act, regulations on mining on state land and drilling water wells, as well as zoning and land use regulations. It also creates several state parks, and the Bureau of Parks and Lands, which regulates the parks and other natural resources.
One way that Title 12's conservation laws reach into other areas of law is Part 6. This short section of Maine's conservation laws deals with residential subdivisions, and regulates the disposal of waste from these areas, as well as certain zoning aspects, as well, such as frontage and lot size.
Like Part 9, Part 4 is concerned with Maine's offshore resources. This part of Title 12 includes the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Compact, which joins the states that have a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, all the way down to Florida, into an agreement to promote and protect fisheries on the Atlantic seaboard.
Both Parts 8 and 11 are sources for Maine's forestry laws. The bulk of this aspect of the state's conservation laws is found in Part 11, which creates the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry: Bureau of Forestry. This Bureau, also known as the Maine Forest Service, has the responsibility of controlling forest fires throughout Maine, protect the trees of the state against insects and diseases, and manage the state's forests and wooded resources. Part 11 provides the laws that let the Service do this to the best of its ability. Part 8 is the source for a few regulations regarding the protection of Maine's forests but is primarily concerned with the Maine Shoreline Public Access Protection Program, which aims to protect and develop public ownership of Maine's shoreline, so the public can better enjoy it.
The remaining pieces of Title 12 – Parts 3, 5, 7, 10, and 12 – have all been repealed or moved by the Maine legislature.

With 7 years motor vehicle registration and licensing experience Warren Duchenne is the number one go to guy in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
Warren started working for the city of Cape Town in 2010 as a clerk in the Motor Vehicles Registration and Licensing Department. Warren was well recognised by the public due to his pleasant demeanour, hard work and always putting the customer first.
After 6 years of working within the department at multiple branches around the Cape Metro pole he decided that he would capitalise on his skills and knowledge of the systems and processes.
He left the department to open his own business, but kept all his contacts within the department. After just three months he was asked to come back to work for the City as they desperately needed his expertise. So he returned to work for City for a short period of time, and finished up with them just after Christmas 2016.
In January 2017 he started Fastlane VLS (Pty) Ltd, and he has built up a large customer base since then. He has efficient business processes in place with many service providers. He is always improving these systems to save both time and money for his loyal customers.
So if you would like to avoid long queue's at a competitive rate contact Warren Duchenne today!

Brilliant service!!!! Didn't have to stand in a line or nothing. My new license was delivered personally to me in one day of me making the query!!!!

You depend on your Web browsers to link you with the information you need every day. But don't let your browsers bank information about you that may be damaging or embarrassing.
Browser History Snooping
The free add-on Distrust can hide surfing trails left in Firefox.
Why You Should Care: Maintaining your online privacy can save your job--and your marriage.
Scenario: Just because you think you have nothing to hide doesn't mean that your PC's record of your browsing history can't get you in trouble. In the absence of any clarifying context, an observer might easily misconstrue entries in a list of sites you recently visited.
Fix: Try using your browser's private browsing feature--but don't depend on it. Long a feature of Apple's Safari browser, private browsing is praised as a way of surfing the Web without leaving a trail of Web site addresses behind you. Once you turn on Private Browsing in Safari, Apple says, you won't leave any traces of the sites you subsequently visit.
Add-ons for the Firefox browser offer Windows users the same benefits: Distrust gives Firefox 2.x and 3.x users a way to manage their browsing history, though some files that Firefox temporarily writes to disk don't get erased until the end of the browsing session. Firefox 3.1 (currently in beta form) is likely to add more-comprehensive private browsing features to the browser itself. To help users manage the new features, two add-ons--Private Browsing and Toggle Private Browsing--provide granular control over the settings. (Warning: In recent testing by a security firm to see which browsers' tools do the best job of protecting against tracking by Web sites, Safari's private browsing capabilities came in last place; Firefox, Google's Chrome, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 beta also fared poorly.)
But no browser can completely prevent sites from tracking your visit. For maximum anonymity, you need to use a service such as the fee-based Anonymizer or the free Tor.
Tell-Tale Browser Cache
Overwrite sensitive system date with the free Eraser utility from Heidi Computers Ltd.
Why You Should Care: A browser's cache is a treasure trove of valuable personal information.
Scenario: Maybe you've just received some bad news from your doctor--a diagnosis of a serious medical condition, something you may not be ready to reveal to others. You decide to do a little Web research on the topic, but don't want any trace of what you were doing to remain on the PC, lest someone stumble upon your secret. Or perhaps you've been shopping for the perfect engagement ring. If the intended recipient were to see the names of jewelry Web sites among the list of fragmented files during a defrag session, it could spoil the whole surprise.
Designed as a way to speed up surfing, the cache keeps copies of the text, images, and other snippets of code from the Web pages a person visits. Obviously, you could learn a lot about someone's surfing habits and interests by dumpster-diving in this collection--much more than by just looking at the browser's History list. Other saved content might include the text of e-mail messages read via Web mail. For some time, Firefox, Safari, and some other browsers have given users a lot of control over cache trashing, but Internet Explorer 8 will be the first version of IE to offer a secure browsing feature, called InPrivate, designed to eliminate any traces of history when you shut down IE.
InPrivate deletes the browser's history, cookies, and Registry traces that would enable someone to retrace your online steps. Nevertheless, it doesn't render the cache a clean slate.
Fix: The best way to keep things clean is to prevent the browser from leaving anything on the hard drive. There are two ways to achieve this objective: Instruct IE to save its cache to a portable drive that you keep plugged in whenever you need to use the browser, or use a software utility to wipe the cache securely after you're done surfing.
You can do the former (using IE) in four steps: Open the Internet Options control panel, click the Settings button in the Temporary Internet Files section, click the Move Folder button, and navigate to a folder on your external drive. To do the latter, try an excellent free tool called Eraser, which securely deletes browser cache files (and other data) by overwriting the files numerous times.

AUGUSTA, GA – As the needs of students in the schools change over time, schools work to be more responsive to those needs. Dr. Jessica Simpson's work in education and in training new educators is on the forefront of those changes, enhancing inclusivity and removing barriers to education.
Inspired by her mother, who worked with children and adults with severe disabilities in Oxford, Miss., Simpson initially intended to pursue a career in psychology and assessment. But after her first psychology class, she found it was not for her.
"I needed more room to explore alternate ways to help individuals with disabilities. Teaching is a good outlet for that because there are so may strategies you can use for academic and behavior management," Simpson said.
Simpson put those strategies to work by teaching in elementary and middle schools, digging in and getting her hands dirty in lively classroom environments where she strived to connect with and to educate each and every student. She went to work for her two-time alma mater, the University of Mississippi, where she obtained her bachelors and masters. While working there, she earned her Ph.D. in education, and began expanding her higher education career.
She was particularly drawn to Augusta University.
"The faculty here made a really big impression on me. As established and popular as this program is, I felt like my dean and the faculty were ready for some changes and it's exciting to be on the forefront at the university level," Simpson said.
Classes she'll be teaching include Planning for Instruction, Planning for Exceptional Students, Collaboration & Consultation, Methods of Instruction for Students with Mild Disabilities and Teaching Students with Disabilities in the Inclusive Classroom. Among her goals are inspiring enthusiasm in her students, training educators for day-one readiness, serving as a resource to new teachers during their first years of teaching, and increasing inclusivity in the classroom for students with learning differences and other challenges.
Simpson comes to Augusta University with a wealth of award-winning work already under her belt, including 2016 Outstanding Doctoral Student in Special Education, 2016 Graduate Student Achievement Award for Teacher Education, 2015 Cutting Edge Graduate Student in Teacher Education and the 2014 Graduate Student Achievement Award for Teacher Education. She has a growing list of articles and conference presentations, and experience teaching at the university level. She is a member of the Council for Exceptional Children, Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, Phi Delta Kappa, the National Education Association and Lambda Sigma Honor Society. She also holds certifications in crisis prevention and crisis management.
