The Turk and Caicos Islands were a hotbed of smuggling and intrigue in the 1970s. A broad spectrum of humanity vacationed, immigrated, or just went for the opportunity and adventure. The sailing yacht Fortunella III broke down while transiting the island group. She started her life in a Dutch shipyard. She was commissioned by a wealthy Belgium merchant and then sailed to the French Riviera. There she was placed in a private charter fleet of seven yachts, all named Fortunella, numbered 1 through 7.She was chartered and then stolen by the charterers. Fortunella III was sailed off through the Straits of Gibraltar to the Canary Islands. The thieves abandoned the boat at a pier and left the country. The owner somehow found the vessel, in the Canaries, and placed a captain on board and left her in the Canaries for storage. The new captain took the maintenance funds and stole the boat again. Her next port of call was Miami, where she was "e;transferred"e; to an organization that started moving her back and forth between the Greater Antilles and Miami.While working as a teacher and manager for a nonprofit research and educational foundation, in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Captain Ron discovered the abandoned yacht anchored in a local harbor. The reader is taken on a journey to find the owner and recover the yacht. Fortunella started out as a collection of exotic tropical woods, polyester resin, fiberglass cloth, stainless steel, and cast iron. Assembled into a boat, she became a tax dodge, pleasure boat, illicit cargo-hauler, and finally an educational platform for high school and college students. She has also carried many thousands of adults and children over her forty-five-year career.

TreatiseThe author created Natural Philosophy from over twenty-five years of documentaries, colloquiums, lectures, personal experience, open-source learning, and university.The universe supposedly begins with a bang, so they say. Quite a big one, the biggest of all, in fact. This is a hypothetical conjecture for a current understanding of the universe as it has presented itself to the author. It begins with a brief description of how energy coalesced into a discernibly sized and shaped singularity, which then suddenly "e;banged."e; The observable universe manifested. The manifestation of the observable universe was built on the principle of, ultimately, wave mechanics among several other fundamental constructs. These waves manifested all physical and metaphysical constructs, and so the system of stasis and defense are built from these fundamental wave mechanics. It covers the social entropy which manifests higher order systems and provides a solution for a hypothetical living group to locally ensure a prolonged survival and stasis with minimal unwanted side effects. Please see the definitions for greater understanding.

In her seventeen years, they have moved so often she gives up on ever making friends. Not only does she feel lost and alone, but her parents always argue about her. The constant fighting makes her believe the family will be happier if she were never born. As these thoughts bounce around in her mind, she is falling into deep, dark despair. The only thing that helps her cope is to retreat into her imagination.Her mother and father inform her and her sisters that they are moving. She thinks this will be a new start, which causes her heart to sing. Everyone else is anxious about the move. For her, this is a promise of new beginnings. With their things packed, they head to the docks to board the ship that will take them to their new home.She spends as much time as possible on deck, loving the sway of the ship and the spray of the sea on her face. Her parents and sisters spend most of the time in their rooms due to being seasick.One morning, she is on deck watching the dolphins, mesmerized by the beauty of their dance. Suddenly, there is something in the water with the dolphins. She rubs her eyes, thinking this cannot be real. She stares harder. Swimming with the dolphins is a man. She looks around, wondering where he has come from. There is no land or other ships in sight. Just as she is about to yell at the men on deck that there is a man overboard, he jumps over a dolphin, and she sees that he is not a man at all. The thing looks human, but instead of legs, it has a long green-and-purple fishtail with iridescent scales.

Alyn, along with his two flatmates, were on track to graduate college at the end of the semester, entering the real-life responsibilities of adulthood. Openly differentiated on personal situations regarding work, class, and relations, they were always there for one another throughout the years. Rather than following the landscape, Alyn sought out for an adventure and was primed as he ran across a girl at a concert. Deciding to take a chance to see where his heart led him, he set off on an endeavor toward finding what could be his eternal or his perpetuation.Following rudimentary rituals, Alyn walked a tightrope between his aspirations and those around him; however, he yearned to fathom his dreams into flourished fruition. Rather than being stuck in an endless wheel of the mundane routine, passion and persistence pushed him to facilitate his plan with no regard to those he accidently accepted into his life. Though not as simple of a task as he originally sought, as tethered flirtations incurred, Alyn found an outlet for his agenda, though through a trek that could manifest in mental and physical dire toward others along the venture to South Padre Island for an exciting spring break getaway. Coercing his brother to assist, hoping a childhood friend could prevent a volatile family recurrence. A tale of college kids and Greek-life siblings and lifelong friends who intertwined their journeys as they all chased their own desires, love and betrayal, secrets and deceit, hope and despair.Yearning to venture toward a piece of potential paradise with their own personal burdens to bear, demons within desire, questioning their self-aptitude of consciousness. Though the trip was one person's journey, all those who entangled themselves brought with them their own perceptions of reality, not understanding that a switch of fate's fuse was ignited.

This book of poetry is a compilation of memories and reflections of the author's journeys. As a young teacher/librarian, she took a journey leaving the mountains of West Virginia and traveling to the eastern plain of North Carolina to teach at East Carolina University. Some of her poems look back to her days in West Virginia, and others reflect on her life in Eastern North Carolina.Journeys are not only taken in cars and jets but are also realized through the psyche, the mind, and spirit. The poem "e;Across the River"e; deals with the journey through some hardship and how the experience can impact the traveler. Human relationship journeys, such as in "e;Misunderstandings"e; tells how a faux pas between people can possibly build a stronger bond. The reader may identify with some of the author's experiences in "e;The Good Humor Truck."e; Some humor has been sprinkled through when asking "e;Where Are the Cupholders?"e; And we can't forget about journeys through love. To look for something of value in establishing a lasting union, turn to the poem "e;Love's Foundation."e; It is hoped the reader will find something to ponder while traveling through these journeys and reflections. There is a quotation by Henrietta Boggs, an American who served as first lady of Costa Rica, 1948-1949, who successfully pushed for giving Costa Rican women the right to vote.Satisfaction comes in the struggle itself rather than achieving it. The journey is half the fun, and the journey continues.--Henrietta Boggs

In Elle's upbringing, sexual abuse and rape was something not to be exposed, never discussed, and conditional. She remained quiet in fear of retaliation from another relative or the offender himself. Never mind how Elle feels or the residual lifelong problems and concerns that follow. Covering up failures, mistakes, and protecting the guilty was key. Becoming conscious of the absolute fact that sexual and drug abuse are interrelated, Elle's raging thoughts felt like she was up against a gargantuan obstacle. The truth is there is a social stigma, a label, an unspoken rule that those two subjects are not to be discussed openly or publicly. The unspoken rule is to keep quiet and stay silent. The ultimate goal for those involved in her being traumatized by rape and sexual abuse was to silence Elle or force her to conform and only speak about the sexual abuse and rape in an extremely controlled environment. Implementing and enforcing this barbaric strategy proved to be essential in protecting the wrongdoer or her mother's criminal neglect for impotently standing by and doing nothing. This stratagem also enables the criminally neglect to edit the narrative when obligatory circumstances are needed in limiting the grotesque exposure and ignorance of those who are really aware but would rather stand by and do nothing. Undoubtedly, both are interconnected. And as for Elle's experience, the guilty blames and dismisses the raped and sexually abused child and continues diminishing her as she grows into adulthood while accusing Elle as the mother of her own child, Megan, for that child's addiction! Her thoughts merged as her tumultuous, traumatic, and abusive childhood predisposed Elle to herself a lifetime of drug abuse and desolation. However, and persistently, Elle proved a powerful exceptional opposite to be true.

Initially, she felt lost and abandoned amid grief and loneliness among many fears. She knew that she was not alone for there was someone there in the darkness with her. How could this be?, she would often ask herself. She knew that family and friends were holding her hands, rather in person or spiritually. They were there but not like the presence sitting beside her. The love she felt surrounding her led her through that darkness onto a pathway she had yet to explore--one that allowed her to build a successful career, to reconnect with a lost love, to become entangled in an inappropriate relationship, to forgiveness. Letting go of what had been giving her life, was truly a hard act to do.

When I came to Auburn in 2004, I fell into a gold mine. My coaching career, which at one time looked very promising, had recently reached a dead end. What I found when I got to The Plains was a vast number of very talented but underachieving players with a burning desire to succeed. Together, as coaches, players, and staff, we developed a selfless majestic synergy that resulted in an undefeated season and, what we believed, would be a ticket to the BCS National Championship game. It wasn't to be. After eighteen years, and several other stops, I retired from coaching but found certain memories never retire. The Auburn Tigers of 2004 will forever represent the pinnacle of my professional career. After traveling to The Plains with my seventeen-year-old son, Cole, to watch the 2021 Iron Bowl, I had an opportunity to reunite with many of the players and fans with whom I shared those memories. Upon my return home, I was inspired by their undying enthusiasm for what was accomplished years ago. I wanted to divulge some interesting stories that haven't been told, and offer, what I hope, an enlightening perspective from the guy who accounted for the game plans and called the plays.
