C-Town. The Land. Believe Land. No matter what you call it, for years, Cleveland has been known to bring the drama. Follow the lives of seven deadly sinners as they struggle to weave their way through the hardened streets of the 216 Michael "Red" Roberts and "Bulletproof" Bobby Walker form a deadly combination3/4making money and holding down their territory. But when Bobby meets a girl that captures his heart, it causes a rift between him and his cousin. It all comes to a head when Bobby has to make a choice between the woman he loves and staying true to the most sacred hood law of all. Tammy has worked tirelessly over the past year to save up enough money to attend college. She's been very careful not to get pregnant and screw up her chances of furthering her education. Everything is going according to plan, until Tammy's mother, Janice, brings home a man who doesn't seem to be quite right. Add that to the fact that Tammy is desperately trying to keep her younger brother, Hakim, from hitting the block to make fast money. Ivory, whom Tammy often hangs out with, has discovered that selling drugs for a living is much easier than working. But when she breaks a long-standing rule, she has no choice but to go into hiding from the hoodlums that she screwed over. Nancy, Tammy's friend and co-worker, has an attraction to dark-skinned men. She also has a secret addiction and an alliance that would get her blackballed from any hood in America.
If, like Carlos Ricard, your past is riddled with trauma, you may have learned to tough it out and to pretend you have it all together. Meanwhile, you're hiding the mental and emotional mess inside, and your life is more controlled by fear than anyone knows. That's a lonely place, and what's worse, it's a place where you can't access your potential for growth and change. Instead, you keep tripping yourself up, leading to failure, heartache, and hitting bottom over and over again.It's easy to believe you're stuck where you are, that you're doomed to this life. But Ricard's bracing and inspiring story proves it's not true.What if your ticket to freedom were found within the very walls that imprison you? What if hidden within the experiences that plague you lies the cure to save you? Would you risk the chance of dying many more deaths to earn the right to live the life you were meant for?The Resurrection Plant tells of one man's mission to see clearly the truth about his troubled past and to reach the source of his self-destructive behaviors. Ricard began life as a homeless immigrant, spent time on the streets gangbanging, and wound up in prison. Though the streets, his schools, his workplaces, and sometimes his own family told him he was worthless, he held to a belief that he deserved better. After dying many deaths, he fought his way from the hood to the woods, from the ghetto to greatness.Carlos Ricard grew up on the streets of New England and made about every mistake you could before turning his life around and finding his purpose. Now a coach and speaker, he helps others turn their suffering into stones on their path to greatness.

In this little book, I hope to shed a little light on the shadowy subject of, having a relationship with someone with Asperger's Syndrome. I won't advise anyone, warn anyone, or provide any contingency plans. My life with Rosa was fascinating. She dragged me kicking and screaming out of my past and into my present. I had issues before meeting her and she allowed me to work some of them out.Discovering Rosa was also a magical journey of self-discovery. It has been a privilege to know her and if I found the relationship difficult, it was because of us both. We both loved and we both wanted. And we both benefitted and suffered. I believe that any relationship with a lover, is a case of, 'it takes two to tango.' We grow and learn if we are wise. As a couple, we have run our race. Now we are friends and Bem's mums. I am still me and Rosa is still she, but after five years of separation, she is still by my side and I am still learning to be with her.
Lynn glared at Ryan Mitchell and wanted to smack his smug face, but even though Ryan meant to insult him, Lynn knew that there was a very good chance that what he said was right. He'd suspected for years now that Dylan Evans wasn't his real father. It didn't take a math wizard to figure out that he'd been born nine months after his mother had been rescued from Fort Benton.But what Ryan had said that pushed him to finally ask his parents if it was true, was when Ryan had laughed and said that Lynn was probably more like his real father, the monstrous Burke Riddell than his hero; the man who raised him.He left the small house to ask that painful question, and if he was told that it was true, he knew that he'd have to leave the Double EE ranch and the only family he'd ever known.
"Finding My Feet In The Crowd" is a compilation of poems ranging from love to knowledge of self, all with the intent of unlocking one's truest form and removing veils strategically placed upon the masses. Veils that conjures up division. The sole purpose of his work is not to point finger, rather to steady to hearts of man, while aligning it with the stars. Believing that if one acts accordingly, we all benefit by the interconnecting of spirits that has too long lost their way. In a world where your mask is everything, this is an attempt to reveal all. A willingness to be vulnerable amongst those too afraid to do so. This isn't a slight, or a direct dissection of anyone's plight. Only an invitation to finally free oneself from the chains that has been a deterrent for too long. Take this journey and break the mold that scolds. Take this journey not for anything but the sake of your soul.

Author's Note Science history shows many theories to have been presented and initially accepted but had later been found wanting or replaced by a more enlightening theory. The earth as the centre of the universe with the sun and other planets revolving around it was widely accepted during the second century A.D. Since then science has progressed in leaps and bounds until today we talk of parallel universes, super-strings and wormholes. We have the ten dimension theory of the universe which makes possible the merger between the geometry of Einstein's theory and that of the quantum field theory. Enormously powerful theorems in mathematics now take on physical significance. Physics and mathematics are so intricately interwoven that mathematics leads us in directions we would not normally take if we followed up physical ideas by themselves. Calculus was born from a need by Newton to solve the equations for gravity. Physics, I believe, is ultimately based on a small set of physical principles. These principles, called first principles, can usually be expressed in plain English without reference to mathematics. From the Copernican theory to Newton's laws of motion, and even Einstein's relativity, the basic physical first principles require just a few sentences that are largely independent of any mathematics. And remarkably, only a handful of first principles are sufficient to summarise most of modern physics. Nevertheless, mathematical equation is still the best way to prove a point. Cosmologist and mathematician Stephen Hawking has written eloquently about the need to explain to the widest possible audience the physical picture underlying all of physics: "If we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientist and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answers to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason; for then we would know the mind of God." My Seven Circle Theory has a correlation with the creation account stated in the first chapter of Genesis in the Bible. The activity that we see in nature all around us was all progressively created in six cyclic periods out of this dark matter or energy medium. Today we live in that sixth cyclic phase. Here all physical matter i.e. protons/atoms are in a progressive decay status which gives us a duration measurement factor called 'Time'. Time only commenced with the start of this sixth phase. The next phase is the seventh cycle phase and total atom decay will have been completed with physical matter non-existent. The seventh cycle phase will be one of total inactivity. The universe will be dormant and devoid of all matter; virtually a period of rest. Perhaps the 'Ancients' really knew how our universe was created, and that with the passing of time their records seem distorted. The overall seven cycles principle however, has perpetuated. Today, Big Bang theorists believe that a mysterious fluid existed at 10-12 seconds from Big Bang and that in the following moments as expansion occurred and temperatures dropped, a sudden phase change occurred in this mysterious fluid reminiscent of water freezing to ice. Suddenly (they believe) all the familiar particles, protons, electrons, neutrinos, photons, quarks, etc. came into existence 'Faster than Light' is a science theory of invisible Dark Matter and has its relationship with the E in Einstein's formula E = mC . As such throughout the text I have referred to Dark Matter as that subtle Energy-Medium from which all mass is created. It is a 'Grand Unified Theory' but without rigorous mathematical treatment.
