  A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
   
   
   
  Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
   
   
   
  There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
   
   
   
  Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.

  CEO Larisha Pushkin wants more power. She buys out Lizer, a pharmaceutical company. Yet it is the only company which does what is says; Change Your Life with Lizer. Years ago, the drug ‘figene’ took the World by storm. Described like Crystal Meth with a kick of Viagra. The gem of this opioid, users become who, not what they consume.

Unknown athletes are now finding endorsement deals. CEOs who were found to be weak are now lions of prowess. 
  The drug’s fatal side-effect is the fate knocker. In the Nap Ghost drug, death at the age 53, imprisonment, and poisoning give users a taste of their dreams. 
  Neuro-Physicist Jim Below founded the company. He refused to create an antidote to the kicker. This move gives Larissa the urgency to take control of the company.  
  Once in love, both Jim and Larissa are now on a collision course. Of course, they dare not speak of it to anyone. Like the rap adage goes, More Money, More Problems.  
  Volume Louder or Two will follow with enough interest. Peace Out. Doc King Cole

  Maya Civilization - Pyramids...

  The Maya civilization emerged from the fertile lands of Mesoamerica, where early agricultural societies gradually developed into one of the most advanced cultures of the ancient world. Long before the rise of monumental cities and towering pyramids, the ancestors of the Maya lived in small villages, relying on farming, hunting, and fishing for sustenance. Corn, or maize, became the cornerstone of their diet and played a central role in their mythology, economy, and daily life. Over time, these early settlements expanded, evolving into complex societies with trade networks, religious practices, and political hierarchies. 
  The roots of Maya civilization can be traced back to the Preclassic period, around 2000 BCE. During this time, small communities scattered across present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador began cultivating staple crops such as maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers. As agricultural techniques improved, populations grew, leading to the formation of larger settlements. Villages transitioned into regional centers, where early forms of leadership and governance emerged. These developments set the stage for the sophisticated city-states that would later define the Maya world. 
  The Maya were not isolated in their cultural development. They shared Mesoamerica with other influential civilizations, most notably the Olmecs, who thrived along the Gulf Coast of Mexico. The Olmecs, often considered the “mother culture” of Mesoamerica, left a lasting impact on the Maya through their artistic styles, religious beliefs, and ceremonial architecture. The colossal stone heads of the Olmecs, their early writing systems, and their concept of a sacred ballgame were all absorbed and adapted by the Maya. This exchange of ideas helped shape the foundations of Maya civilization, leading to the rise of the first great Maya cities.
