  This is the true story of a woman who discovered a fascinating new way of living, refreshingly different to the rat race she had become trapped in. This new world was full of machoism, sexism and a complete lack of political correctness. Brizo entered a world where she was constantly surprised that being her filthy and inappropriate self was instantly accepted and even welcomed. She had glided into the world of sailing. The rough and rugged unkempt sailor types kept her dripping wet both in and out of the water. While Brizo was frustrated with the sexism that exists on deck, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that women are respected for taking charge down below. She found herself in a world where women were given credit for having many lovers and for being assertive in the bedroom. I suppose when the ratio of men is so much higher than that of women, a sailor is grateful he's secured a mermaid on his hook.

  Spanish for travelers - easy...

  The goal of this book is to provide essential Spanish Travel Phrases every traveler needs to know, and some basic Spanish grammar rules. It is useful to learn Spanish phrases which can be useful in different situations as you travel. 
  The travel bug, once caught, is hard to get out of our system. But deep down we know that we don't understand the locals well - or maybe not at all. Could it be important to be able to converse with those in authority? English, at best, is a second language in those parts of the world, spoken by a few. Group travel is fine, but to rely on the group leader to always be at hand to explain restricts one's freedom.  It feels great to be independent! 
  Learning Spanish can help you communicate with locals. It is especially important to be able to speak Spanish if you plan a trip to a Spanish speaking country. You will find that natives will respect you more if you at least appear to be trying to learn and speak their language. Even though most Spanish speaking people can speak English (even a little), you may come across several who have no English skills at all. This is a key reason for learning how to speak Spanish. It will go a long way toward making your trip more enjoyable. 
  Spanish is native to Spain of course; but the Spanish explorers travelled around. So, you can be sure that South America, Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and even the Philippines are all quite proficient in this lovely language. Spanish is an easy language to learn, thanks to its consistency of vowel sounds and relatively simple syntax. There are no tonal elements as exist in the Asian languages - another big plus for Spanish learners.

  The Role of the Nile River in...

  The Nile River was more than just a water source for the ancient Egyptians; it was the very foundation upon which their civilization thrived. Stretching over 4,000 miles, the river provided sustenance, enabled agriculture, and shaped daily life in profound ways. Without the Nile, the flourishing civilization that we now associate with ancient Egypt would have been impossible. 
  The river’s importance was most evident in its role as a source of life. Flowing from the heart of Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, the Nile brought fertile silt during its annual inundation. This natural event transformed the arid desert landscape into a lush and arable strip of land, ideal for farming. The nutrient-rich soil deposited by the flooding allowed ancient Egyptians to grow crops like wheat, barley, and flax, which were essential for food, trade, and textile production. This dependable agricultural cycle fostered stability, reducing the risks of famine and ensuring food security for the population. 
  The river also played a crucial role in sustaining both humans and animals. Its waters provided drinking sources not only for the people but also for livestock, which were integral to agricultural practices. Additionally, the Nile supported a wide variety of fish and attracted wildlife to its banks, allowing ancient Egyptians to develop fishing and hunting practices that supplemented their diet. Daily life revolved around the river, as it supplied the necessary resources for cooking, cleaning, and irrigation.

  If you love games, or know someone who does, you’ll know that board games today form a part of people’s lives every bit as cherished as music, movies, books or sports. Board games have become staples of popular culture around which we live our lives, and through which we navigate and remember many of life’s ups and downs. From chess and checkers to CATAN and Carcassonne, board games bring people together and touch lives in unlikely and surprising ways. 
   
  In this charming volume, authors including leading industry professionals and lifelong gamers from all walks of life tell us in their own words what board games mean to them. From stories of friends and loved ones met through games to how others came to make careers and livelihoods out of them, from the story of how an academic strike in Nigeria led to the founding of the first board games convention in Sub-Saharan Africa to how board games helped one autistic child discover his dream job, the essays in this volume lift the lid on how games have changed lives in the most remarkable ways. 
   
  Warm and witty, heartening and heartfelt, the twenty-eight personal accounts that make up this diverse collection bring together authors, artists, designers, parents, academics, an actor, a librarian and more to offer a remarkable insight into just why board games mean so much to so many.

  "Ever been so hurt that you want to go to one's mama, 
  and ask why she did not beat their butt? 
  Somehow. 
  You thought the relationship was a lasting forever, 
  but it was an artificial, long-term shortcut.  
  You didn't even know what was up. 
  You were just the Bonnie and Clyde... 
  loyal, giving peace, a symbol of good luck. 
  What God has joined together, 
  let no man put asunder. 
  How you let the enemy use you, 
  and put the relationship under? 
  Sex addiction. Infidelity. 
  Lies. Deceit. 
  Actions were supposed to be stronger. 
  The trust is gone, pain exists. 
  You don't want to be in the relationship any longer. 
  What happened to getting on your knees? 
  Praying to God over miseries. 
  Having faith and working into victories. 
  Not living your greatest fantasies? 
  Please. 
  Who's the blame? 
  Depends on how you go about it. 
  The efforts you put in 
  is what you will get out of it. 
  Do not doubt it.  
  With God, 
  all things are possible... 
  fight your way around it. 
  A relationship that God has put together, 
  is a long-term forever. 
  You will know when you've found it." -Queen Pennin ("Color Me in the Lines-A Poetry Collection of God's Markers" 2024) 
  This series reflects the transformation of being a victim, into being a survivor. Then conquering past relationship trauma. 
  Queen Pennin authors this series and revolutionizes artistry by introducing a fusion of rap, poetry, and spoken word. This series aims to encourage and motivate positive transformation through stories of relationship tragedies where self-love emerges as the ultimate triumph.
