  There are many civilizations which existed in pre-history and most of them are now lost to our knowledge and ken. Many of them were lost when the Oceans rose during the melting from the last Ice Age. Some were just buried and have recently come to light 
  In this book we examine many of these lesser known civilizations and cities and look at some incredible extensions of how far back in history civilization actually goes. We are talking about societies which existed from recent history back to 75,000 years ago. 
  Also, Giants were one of the races of early history. What did Giants have to do with these early civilizations? There are also some interesting gaps in the histories of civilizations to examine. 
  One of these Ancient Civilizations was Atlantis so I’ve also included the content of my book “The Real Atlantis-In the Eye of the Sahara” as a legitimate ancient civilization—and I have a great case! 
  Come on this journey to take an overall view of ancient and lesser known civilizations to build a new strategic overview of the past of human history.

  The Wall-Less Rooms Of Nature...

  Nature and art share the quality of perseverance and optimism. Vecchione illustrates this when she says, “Art is optimistic. No matter what emotions a piece of art may convey, art-making itself is a refusal to be plowed under by doubt, political systems, poverty or any number of other things.” She goes on to point out that nature shares those same qualities. “Determined plants push up between the slivery cracks in the concrete, making their leafy way to the light where they thrive. If nature is curtailed in one way, it does it’s best to find another. Over and over again.” She describes how the act of being in nature expanded her imagination, which made the act of doing art more meaningful. When our creative spirit is in touch with the natural world, the boundaries and walls are removed. She believes that encouraging creativity requires both structure and the freedom to imagine. As she points out, “The imagination wants to grow by its very nature and the same is true with nature. If water comes to a wall, it doesn’t pack up its bag and say forget about it. Water finds a way around. Imagination does the same thing. They’re both life sustaining, life-giving aspects of this planet.” Nature, she says, offers us a perfect place to daydream. Vecchione also explains how she and others help to preserve and care for a little bit of the earth, and how we can all do the same. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

  Recruiting Officer

  George Farquhar

  The author was himself a recruiting officer, and possibly gathered all the materials for this play on the very spot where he has placed his scene—Shrewsbury. He has dedicated the piece "to all friends round the Wrekin," and has thanked the inhabitants of the town for that cheerful hospitality, which made, he adds, "the recruiting service, to some men the greatest fatigue on earth, to me the greatest pleasure in the world."The life of Farquhar was full of adventures.—As a student, he was expelled from the college of Dublin, for adventuring profane wit upon a sacred theme, given to him by his tutor for his exercise. As an actor, he forsook the stage in grief and horror, on having unknowingly made use of a real sword, instead of a counterfeit one, by which he wounded a brother performer, with whom he had to fence in a tragedy, nearly to the loss of his life.As a dramatic writer, Farquhar was eminently successful; and in his military capacity, he was ever honoured and beloved—whether fighting with a great army in Flanders, or recruiting with a small party in Shropshire.(Mrs Inchbald (In preface to the publication)) Cast list:Captain Plume, Recruiting Officer: Peter TuckerCaptain Brazen, Recruiting Officer: NegatronMr Worthy, a gentleman of Shropshire: TriciaGSerjeant Kite: ToddHWThomas Appletree, recruit: SteveTonerCostar Pearmain, recruit: Zames CurranJustice Balance: Kristin GjerløwJustice Scale: Zames CurranJustice Scruple: catharmaidenBullock, a Country Clown: alanmapstoneConstable: Anna SimonServant: John N.
