And the Beat Goes On.Based on a post by FinalStand, in 13 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Tuesday night, in the asphalt-covered rear loading area of the Wal-Mart there was a Redneck throw down. Buck Tooney was wasting no time in cementing his leadership position over the White portion of our High School. His job was made more difficult by Darius' ruthless efficiency in allowing no other organizations, no matter how informal, to challenge his dominion. That translated over to Buck having to bust more heads to bring the 'rednecks' all in line.If that worked out, the city-Whites would be next. The problem for everyone else was the High School had been a succession of autocratic tyrannies for so long, it was difficult for the students to successfully even balkanize, much less unify. Everyone assumed another 'Darius' would eventually arise to restore a brutal school order; as long as 'he' was Black.That meant Buck needed a Black figurehead to parade in front of the 'establishment' to get things done. So far, no such person existed. Rashaan not only had the mistaken impression he could resist Buck, he was the Chief of Police's son; so not a prime candidate to be a figurehead for a criminal like Buck. Therefore he had to get Rashaan out of the way; figuratively speaking.Another problem for Buck was the school already had an existing Black criminal element. Darius had not been a part of it, but like so many other aspects of school society, when he told the leaders of the school subcultures to do something, or not to do something, he expected compliance. If not; pain would definitely follow. These characters weren't going to easily knuckle under to Buck Tooney though. After all, he'd been Darius' brother's 'boy', not the other way around.If anyone seriously thought Buck had returned to High School to be the Black Man's Bitch (again), they were clearly high, brain damaged, and/or delusional. I wouldn't have put money on who could have taken who in a Buck vs. Darius brawl; except Darius wouldn't have been lured into that kind of fight.Absent Darius, the school's Black community only had two confederates with sufficient intellect and charisma to lead the forces on that side of the racial divide. Sadly for the disciples of the Almighty BBC, both were women. Not only was Taliyah's mom the Mayor, she herself was co-Captain of one of the establishment's most recognized bodies; the Cheer Squad.The other was Jewel 'C. S.' Lafontanté. She was more infamous than famous, intelligent, un-aligned with any club, or activity, which awarded accolades, yet was overly endowed with a host of natural abilities as well as learned skills and talents. And, unlike Taliyah,; absent Darius; she felt the top spot was hers for the taking from the get go.Step one had been to sit at the feet of her mother and father, taking their counsel on the principles of asymmetric warfare, transforming weaknesses into strengths and how to locate, isolate and exploit the weaknesses of her enemies. Step two was accomplished Tuesday night when she and the rest of the Zulu Princess Posse jettisoned their boyfriends. From here on out, the ladies would be taking whatever cock they wanted. The times; they were a-changing.I had two more imminent problems with my life. The first was Riley Pasternak, Mayor Malik's aide and a woman I'd put my cock into; without my Mother's permission. By the way she kept licking absolutely everything off her fingertips at dinner Tuesday night while staring at me, I was sure she was expecting another performance.Before I could worry about how to finally put the brakes on my out of control sex drive, we had a caller at the gate; for me. It was Randi Leigh Upshaw. That was more than a tad unexpected. I'd stuck my cock in her, so I felt obliged to provide hospitality now that she came calling, but promised myself 'no sex'. We met on the porch.‘Hey, Vlad,' Randi Leigh appeared distracted and a bit distraught and couldn't meet my gaze.‘Hello, Randi Leigh. Care to sit down?' I motioned toward the porch swing.‘Sure,' she walked that way. It wasn't all that cold, she was in a team jacket, yet she still felt the need to wrap herself in her arms.‘What's going on?' I said once we'd taken our seats and swung back and forth twice.‘I; do you like Brandy?' she turned on me, putting a both her hands on my right forearm.‘Yes, I do,' I nodded. ‘Very much.'‘I can make you happier than she can,' bubbled forth from her lips.'What gives you that idea', seemed inappropriate so; ‘I thought you were happy with Rashaan,' was my second, and apparently equally bad, choice. Her look said it all: Rashaan wasn't getting the job done in a fundamental way.‘He's nothing like you,' she purred with the understated passion of an addict needing fix; me being the drug.‘Vlad, what is going on out here?' Mom called out. With Mom's propensity to sneak up on things like a Martian and listen in on conversations, this had to be a clue about something more. We both hopped out of the swing.‘This is Randi Leigh Upshaw. She's a; ah friend of Brandy and on the Cheer Squad. She's dating Rashaan Quinterre now.'‘Nice to meet you,' Mom was full with the feigned politeness, ‘Randi Leigh. I need a moment of Vlad's time, then I'll give him back.'She pulled me aside and back down the walk around porch until we were out of earshot then;‘Care to explain?'So I did; everything from the encounter in the Parking Lot to the Music Room banter, her going off in an epileptic seizure and ending with her here; now. Mom put her hand to her chin as she lowered her head slightly. Her far-off look dictated she wanted a few moments to think things through.‘With some girls; it goes straight to the brain like some allergic reaction,' she related. ‘In 1898, one of your ancestors was felled by a delirium and was cared for in a cat house in Dawson City. Three 'Ladies of the Evening' quickly fell to fighting over him and concluding with two fighting a duel with pistols in the middle of Front Street to decide who got 'their man'. Clearly some ladies can go a bit nuts over what your family has in your nut sack.'‘That's totally nu; crazy and unfair to poor Randi Leigh,' I frowned. I kicked at the planks on the porch for good measure.‘Didn't you just tell me she is gladly whoring herself out for Rashaan Quinterre? Do you think she's doing that for love?'‘What about Brandy? I don't want to cheat on her; any more than I've already cheated on her,' I muttered. Man, I sounded pathetic!‘Here's what you do,' my Mother stroked my cheek. ‘You tell Randi Leigh she had better become Brandy's #2 friend from here on out, or you won't have anything to do with her. You aren't going to cheat on Brandy, but Brandy might see a way to share you from time to time if she behaves. No more Big Black Cock for her though.'‘Okay,' I felt partially relieved. Now that I had a moment alone, I added, ‘What about Riley?'‘I got her.'‘You?'‘Yes. Me and your Da are going to take her to bed for some pulse-pounding, three-way action,' she grinned like an orca about to devour a baby seal.I had no idea Dad was so; kinky.‘Once I get your Da going, he's quite the animal,' Mom enlightened me. ‘I'll get me and Riley going in the bedroom. When he walks in, he'll protest; like he always does; then he'll come around and; ‘‘Enough, Mom,' I raised my hands. ‘Enough.'She laughed. I retreated to the semi-sanity of Randi Leigh who was waiting on me expectantly.‘Here are the rules,' I began ticking off my points, finger by finger.‘I'm Brandy's boyfriend. If you want to spend time with me you had better become Brandy's #2 best friend.'‘You don't sleep around with anyone else besides me and my brothers without clearing it with us first.'‘You don't pick fights with anyone unless you 'okay' it with myself, or my brothers first.'‘You break the rules three times and we never even talk with you; ever again.'That would have been the point I at which would have expected her to scoff at me at least, possibly slap me, or at least cry as a form of manipulation. Randi Leigh simply nodded. I walked her off the porch to her vehicle. We hugged, but didn't kiss. Afterwards I called Brandy and gave her the basics of what had gone down without explaining the toxic stew which lay behind it.I avoided my family the rest of the night; choosing to go to bed early instead. As I lay reclined on my back, staring out the tall window into the clear, highland night sky, I felt sick to my stomach. Slowly a revelation came to me. What my family had was definitely a curse, not a blessing because it was wed to a sense of conscience and responsibility.I had often thought about why Mom sought out Dad as the 'One' for her, but until that night, never really considered why he had chosen her to be his 'One'. Looking back, I realized it wouldn't have made sense until that point because I didn't have enough pieces of Mom's puzzle. I had the belief Dad sensed the intense pain within Mom's soul and nothing short of the grave, or what he had within him, could soothe her.By Mom's own admission, she was a Wild Child. She would have never settled down. Never had us kids. Never felt the love of a family if Dad hadn't decided to share his genetic curse with her. He'd loved her enough to become her lodestone; the center of her life and to take on all the pain such a position entailed.Everything I knew about my Dad suggested Mom was the Last type of woman he would have wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Dad liked his life calm, quiet and orderly. Mom was the polar opposite of those desires; impulsive, loud and chaotic. I didn't doubt his love for her in the slightest, yet my Father had sacrificed his dreams of tranquility to save my Mother.Why wasn't Mom furious with him over enslaving her to his cock; his magic sperm? She probably had been, once she figured out the family secret; for a short while. Then she realized the import his love had, saw the course her life was taking her down and what she obviously meant to him. But Mom being Mom; she still made him pay with her explosively eccentric behavior and her bizarre tutelage of his boys.And Dad had accepted it all as the price necessary to save my Mother's life; and that was that. Dad could have had any woman he wanted. Any Samsonov man could have. Why weren't we a clan of billionaires then? Why didn't we have oriental-style harems and dozens of mistresses on the side?Because we saw what we possessed as a curse; which we sometimes shared with truly crazy people to give them a real world focus for their lives so they wouldn't finally be consumed by their peculiar forms of madness. My hypothesis certainly fit what I knew about my kinfolk. I took that uneasy psychic compromise with me to my dreams.Wednesday.Wednesday morning, the storm clouds began to gather. The big news was Jewel Lafontanté had dumped Thomas 'Shaka' Sneed, Student Body President. Certain notorious Redneck troublemakers were either absent, or had shown up bruised and battered from last night's rumble with Buck's crew.That wasn't the only bruising going on. Rashaan had gone from one cheerleader to none, to two, to none once more; inside a week. The damage to both his ego and prestige was immense. Into the void stepped a rather brutal individual named Porter Walmsley, the Football Squad's Defensive Team Captain. While he was big, bad and Black, Taliyah and Brandy insisted his thick sausage was also very short; a definite deal-breaker when it came to BBC Mastery.Not to be outdone, Alonzo Hollingsworth, son of the richest (Black) man in Kingston made a play for Taliyah at lunch. He was long on talking solidarity while showing no solidarity with any of the other social 'front-runners'. Taliyah told him she'd 'think about it' in a blatant attempt to rile Mikhail. It didn't, which only soured her mood more.At practice, the Assistant Athletic Director (aka Coach Weasel, aka Coach George Wilcox), named Deon Manley Team Captain. He was (surprise, surprise) Black, in my position (Point Guard) and on record as performing sexual favors for the coach (letting the coach suck his cock).After practice, I got a message; via Brandy; that Jed Lee Earl wanted to talk with me and my brothers. She had to give me the 411. He was from one of Kingston's old White Rich families, led a clique of rich and 'almost rich' White kids and she thought he was gay. Most likely, with Buck on a rampage, he was looking for some 'muscle of his own,' she added with a giggle. I swatted her ass over that one.At least this time we avoided any name calling as we made our exit from school. Alexander was off to Ms. Blanchard's class. Mikhail took Kaja home on his KTM 690 Enduro R motorcycle without argument. I took Monique and Shaquille home (her house actually) with Vicky and Kaelyne tagging along. Brandy and Taliyah took Alondra and Noémie to their homes before the rendezvous at the Fonteneau mansion.The routine cycle resumed: homework, working out, showering, then a small amount of friend time before dinner. Unlike Tuesday, Mikhail was downright responsive to Taliyah; playful if not contrite. Taliyah countered by being friendly to Kaelyne and Vicky. I had my hands full with Brandy the entire time, so I was of no help.Vicky surprised us all by asking to learn a few wrestling and Sambo moves as we migrated to the backyard. I was 'nominated' to be her instructor. Things were complicated by her relative small size (5'2' / 157.5 cm) and mass (98 lbs. / 44.45 kg.). Figuring out all she really wanted to do was grab my cock, or nuts (both clothed) and pinch my nipples took all of thirty seconds.While tickling is not in your regularly accepted repertoire of wrestling moves, I had grown up with two brothers and plenty of young cousins. With my superior reach and strength, Vicky never stood a chance; so Kaelyne rushed in as well. When she proved unable to turn the tide (recall: I'm one of three; triplets), Brandy jumped me as well. This time I had the good sense to go down under their combined might, cry and beg for mercy.Thursday.With Brandy's acquiescence, if not outright permission, I gave Randi Leigh a blowjob opportunity before Home Room on Thursday. Mikhail was in the stall next to mine doing the exact same thing with Alondra. The difference was Alondra left with bounce in her stride and a smile on her face. Randi Leigh was fidgeting and uneasy.We missed Lunch Period, replacing it with a truncated orgy session which included Taliyah and Brandy plus Vantrice Kirby, Mia Ryker and Le 'Pearl' Yates. That left only Noémie Lucie Desdunes (in her case the middle name was a Creole thing) and Amber Lee Huffington, who were both in the B and T camp anyway. We could get them Saturday, or so the plotting went.The (Football) Coach and Principal decided since Friday was a 'home' game, we would have a 'memorial' service for Darius Pope; not that he had actually died, or anything; instead of the standard 'victory' party after the game. Apparently the Principal thought Brandy, as Darius' girlfriend, could help coordinate the function. Help as in work with the suddenly school-active Jewel Lafontanté.The other event was Hell Must Have Frozen Over and Satan had Klansmen shoveling coal like mad while he shivered in his igloo chateau; at least as far as the Kingston and Davis County social scene was concerned. The family of Gayle Fonteneau was invited to dinner at; the house of the Madam Mayor aka Dominique and Chinedu Malik.Her father had broken the hold the Fonteneau's had over the town which once bore their name; but now was Kingston, back in the late 1960's and early 70's, ushering an age of Black Supremacy into this burgh. It hadn't been an easy, or happy, transition either. Generations of Fonteneaus had treated the town as an extension of their own estate and hadn't welcomed the march of democratic progress.My Mom's rape, Uncle Theo's rampage of vengeance, and the resulting cover-up had severed the links between the Fonteneau Clan and the town of Kingston. That was the other, hidden, part of 'The Deal' which saw Uncle Theo going to a military school, not straight-out prison, for the punishment he'd visited on my mother's attackers.It could be argued Mom was now violating the 'corrupt' bargain between old Mayor Fox and Great Aunt Matilda. I also imagined neither ever thought their heirs would ever find 'common cause'. Both were now safely dead and if his daughter, Dominque, was bothered by this, she was doing the opposite of complaining.Had I realized how much Mom was sending Dominque's way, I would have been stunned. Had I realized how little of the Fonteneau fortune her support represented, I'd have cringed. The Fonteneau has been rife with eccentric, often wicked, geniuses for over two centuries.They'd invented and patented stuff, they swindled, robbed and stole from kinfolk, neighbors, towns, tribes, corporations and countries, and they invested that wealth with prescient ability. Unlike other famous American capitalists and industrialists, they hadn't felt obliged to build theater halls, university buildings, or jack-squat to remind the Rest Of The World how rich they'd become.No; they had miserly hoarded their wealth with one family member in each generation getting the lion's share along with the tacit understanding they took care of one another. That had equated to Great-Aunt Matilda being the inheritor in her generation, yet taking care of her sister's children as if they were her own.How much did 'we' have? Mom snorted and told me the Fonteneau never kept all their money in one place; in case something happened. Still, it wasn't like Uncle Cassius in that Indonesian prison didn't have his own 'resources' to keep him safe, or Uncle Theo kept evading prosecution based solely on his military training. Had either of those funds been traced back to our family, there could have been trouble; and those were just two examples of how Great-Aunt Matilda dispersed the family fortune.Anyway, I decided to bring Brandy along as my date/protective shielding. Mikhail laughingly suggested Alexander bring Ms. Blanchard. He suggested Vicky. I suggested Alondra. He scoffed. I suggested we'd need the distraction plus someone we could rely on to keep their mouth shut if something untoward happened (or, in Alondra's case, failed to understand the significance of).After 'dressing up', Mikhail and I had to double-back to school to pick up Brandy, Taliyah and Alondra for dinner. They, and about forty other students, had been shanghaied by Jewel into making the auditorium into a tribute to Darius Pope; odd since I imagined she despised the guy and rejoiced at his departure.‘Hey there,' Jewel greeted us as we entered the largely empty arena. ‘Vlad, is it? Mikhail?'Jewel was a tall (nearly 6 feet) woman with skin a soft shade of brown enhanced with coppery highlights. Currently her long, kinky black hair was worn braided with a mixture of beads and ribbons which 'clacked' when she moved. Her figure was dynamite, more a powerful Amazonian 'C' to Brandy's curvaceous 'D', but an ass just as scrumptious.Her lips were wide and her nose broad, but her most sensual quality, in my eyes, was her smoldering dark eyes; so dark they seemed totally devoid of an iris, yet keenly perceptive and subtly intelligent, surrounded by the longest, most natural-appearing eyelashes I'd ever witnessed.Today she was in a leather, electric blue mini-skirt, white knee socks and a long sleeved, skin-tight white shirt with the torso-sized images of a rampant phoenix and tiger facing one another on both front and back.‘Yes. Vladimir and Mikhail Samsonov, Ms. Lafontanté. A pleasure to meet you,' I stated since we'd never been formerly introduced. Likewise, I'd been raised a gentleman who waited for a lady to offer her hand to be shaken before a man shook it.She gave me an appraising, almost predatory, up-and-down gaze.‘Call me Jewel,' she extended me her hand.‘Vlad!' Brandy called out. Her someone must be trying to poach my Man sense must have gone off because I was definitely getting that sensation as her fingertips played across my fingers and palm before we shook hands. She had a confident, solid grip.‘Princess,' I was continuing to 'test drive' Brandy's pet name as I looked around Jewel.‘We are almost done,' Jewel shifted so as to interrupt my view (almost worked; but I was taller than she was).‘Let me help then,' I offered, even as I realized she hadn't let go of my hand yet.‘I'm planning on it,' she smirked, then released my hand and spun quickly around.‘Alright!' she addressed the room, the word accentuated with a sharp clap of her hands. ‘Let's finish getting those banners hung; Brandy?'Brandy was decidedly ignoring Jewel by throwing herself into my embrace and including an impressive, tongue-hungry lip-lock. 'Umm; tasty'. I kept her off the ground, so she decide to kick up both her legs until her heels almost touched her buttocks. When our mouths separated, she gave off a breathless giggle.‘Strawberry?' I questioned the flavor of her lip balm.‘Yes,' she grinned. With exaggerated slowness, Brandy turned to Jewel. ‘Almost done, Jefe?'‘So Jewel, I understand your regular cock wasn't getting the job done,' were the first words out of Mikhail's mouth; the Jackass! The assumption was he was referencing her dumping her last boyfriend; who was also here tonight.‘Mikhail!' Brandy gawked.‘Damn it, Mikhail,' I pivoted and glared at him.‘You auditioning for the job?' Jewel took a provocative pose. So much for the possibility of being offended. It was at times like this I didn't get women at all.‘I'm willing to put you in my rotation,' he bantered back courageously.‘What is mine, is mine. I don't share,' Jewel volleyed.‘You won't be the first Top Bitch I've had to deal with. Won't be the last,' he chuckled.‘Am I 'your type'?'‘Babe, you are hitting on all cylinders; you're smart, fierce, built like a true athlete; plus you think you are better than me,' he leered.‘I'm AM better than you, Samsonov.'‘By all means,' he took two steps her way. ‘Prove it.'‘Mikhail, we are here to retrieve our dates and go to dinner with our parents,' I reminded him. ‘Speaking of which; where are Taliyah and Alondra?'‘Which one of you is dating Alondra?' Jewel scoffed. With the way she said 'Alondra' she might as well have said 'The Chihuahua'. I put Brandy down.‘Alexander,' Brandy simmered. ‘They bonded over having a soul; unlike some people.' Gosh, that was awful feisty of Brandy. ‘Vlad, they went to get some colored light filters for the spotlights. They should be back soon.'‘Hey now,' I patted Brandy's ass. ‘Needless hostility isn't getting the work done.' I used that hand on the ass to press her against my hard-on to remind her of our primal connection.Her eyes flashed up, she gave me a salacious look, two hip wiggles, and then sauntered off to complete whatever project she was assigned. I tagged along because I both liked that ass and decided keeping close to her was my best bet to stay safe. Jewel directed Mikhail to help with something else. When Taliyah returned with Alondra and Misty Dawn in tow (along with several boxes of something), she immediately alerted to his distraction.She gave him no warning of her approach. Unfortunately for her, growing up triplets left us all a bit hyper-situationally aware and always ready for some rough and tumble, so Mikhail clued into the impending threat right before Taliyah repeated her Charlie Horse from Hell. Instead, he caught her blow, pulling her in and pinning one of her arms behind her back.‘Care to explain that?' Mikhail mused; 'that' being the incoming pain.‘I saw you scoping her out,' Taliyah sizzled.‘Well-duh,' he snorted, ‘but I wasn't touching, or anything.'‘You'd better not be.'‘Don't you have some work to do?' Jewel intervened.‘Yeah; if this Neanderthal would unhand me; ‘‘You going to take another swing at me?'‘You going to give me a reason to remind you to behave?' Taliyah snapped.‘Most likely,' my triplet shrugged then let her go.‘Come on Alondra,' Taliyah called over to the cheerleader. They went off to stack up the proper colored light filters by the various spot lights. The actual work would be done by the custodial staff sometime tomorrow.Soon enough we finished all our assignments. Jewel's No. 1 minion; a short, Sepia-complexioned, sharp-looking young lady named Dana Owens; checked off each completed item on her tablet as the group leaders reported to Jewel. She ran a very tight, almost scarily-so, regime. Notable absent were the student-athletes.Notably present was Jewel's ex-boyfriend, Shaka Sneed. He was handsome enough, chestnut-hued, slight acne-scarring along his cheeks with lighting-bolts cut on each side of his more-on-top, closer-cropped-on-the-side/back curly hair. He was right as 6' and broad enough in the chest and narrow enough in the hip to suggest he worked out once, or twice, a week, but his attempt to physically intimidate Mikhail was woefully ill-considered.His shiny, black tennis shoes, dark-grey slacks and black t-shirt were all top quality and tight enough to suggest he was 'aroused', but he was playing out of his league when comparing himself to any of us. Clearly not every BBC stud was packing a 10' Passion Piston inside his boxers and with all the hot chicks Jewel had assembled, it would have been pretty discernable it he'd had one.‘I don't like the way you were talking to Jewel,' he approached my brother as we were exiting the school.With so many polite replies to choose from and a proper dinner to get to; ‘What are you going to do about it?' we turned and regarded him.‘I; ah; ‘ Shaka stammered. Open, obvious defiance wasn't what he expected, despite some of the clear signs we Samsonovs weren't playing by the established rules.‘Listen up, Shaky,' Mikhail feigned annoyance, ‘I've got a dinner to go to. If all you are going to do is spit at me, I'm going to get to it. I'll catch up with you at lunch tomorrow and we'll settle Jewel's perceptions of your penile inadequacies then.'‘It is Shaka,' he insisted angrily.‘Whatever,' Mikhail shrugged.‘I'm going to inform Principal Jean-Georges of your threats,' Shaka pledged.‘What threats?' Mikhail gave a lopsided grin.‘You threatened to fight me at lunch tomorrow,' he looked left then right. We had quite a gathering. Since none of them looked ready to fight, it wasn't a problem.‘My exact words,' my triplet sounded bored, ‘we'll settle Jewel's perceptions of your penile inadequacies. Not once did I mention the words 'fight', punishment, or violence of any kind, Shaky.'‘It is Shaka!' he growled.‘It is Thomas,' Jewel announced in an amused tone. She'd been locking up.‘Shaky's real name is Thomas?' Mikhail's gaze settled on Jewel. ‘Why the fuck did he pick a shitty nickname like Shaky when he had a perfectly good name like Thomas to go by?'‘It Is Shaka; you pinhead!' Shaka shouted.‘Shaka? What kind of lame name is that?' Mikhail mocked him.‘It is Zulu, you dumbass cracker,' he glared.‘Why didn't you pick a more relevant name; like; Vlad, help me out here?' Mikhail's countenance lost all its humor.‘Like Agaja, Askia, Ewuare, or Samori?' I supplied some viable alternatives.‘Yeah; them. You know; West African war leaders you might have some relation to as opposed to a South African butcher who is as likely related to you as I am to Christopher Columbus, you dumbass nigger.'Silence.A White Boy had called a Black Man a 'nigger' and not just the 'n-word'.‘What did you call me?' Shaka puffed himself up.‘Whatever was the appropriate abusive racial insulting counter to 'cracker', pencil-dick,' Mikhail huffed.‘Say it.'‘Shaky.'‘You little bitch,' he said in a low voice.‘I promised we'd revisit your penile inadequacies at lunch tomorrow, Shaky, not now. If you are not going to 'jump', I've got a dinner to go to.'‘Chicken-shit.'‘I really don't have the time to go down the long list of all the things Jewel called you as she kicked you out of bed, Shaky; ‘ and then Shaka shoved him.‘That'll do, Pig. That'll do,' Mikhail chortled. He was getting ready to fight. We really didn't have the time to clean up this mess; I had no doubt Mikhail would destroy Shaka in ten seconds flat. The problem was we'd have to stick around and deal with the fallout which was time we didn't have.‘Enough,' Jewel intervened both verbally and vocally. She had two of her ladies backing her up. I had a firm hand on Mikhail's shoulder as a reminder we had to be elsewhere. ‘Shaka, I thought better of you,' she looked at her ex. ‘He's playing you.'‘You've been playing with him,' Shaka countered.‘Even if I was; which I was not (she wasn't?), I'm not your property, or your woman,' she sneered. ‘You are pathetic. I dumped you because I know I can do better.'Ouch! That was harsh.‘No; you can't,' Taliyah spoke up aka demarcating Mikhail. ‘Not while I'm standing.'‘Damn you, Jewel,' Shaka grabbed his former girl by the arm. ‘I; ‘And then she laid into him. I was pretty sure it was elbow to the solar plexus, a stomp on the instep and then an arm grab into judo flip, but head-over-heels Shaka went. I say 'pretty sure' because it was dusk and Jewel move freaky-fast. Shaka had been completely flipped over onto his back in that final, fluid move.Even though Jewel still had a painful hold of his wrist, it was clear Shaka was out of the fight. Any sane combatant would have stopped at that point. Not Jewel. Up came her foot and down came that heel on his crotch. Shaka hissed like a punctured Zeppelin. Every single guy who witnessed the blow recoiled instinctively in sympathetic agony as well. Not to be outdone though;‘I guess Shaka Zulu is now just another Bushman Brother,' Mikhail quipped jokingly.‘You are useless,' Taliyah began to drag him away.‘How is any of this my fault?' Mikhail laughed. ‘I didn't lay a hand on him.'‘You opened your fool-mouth,' she groused. She was dragging him off though.‘Alright everyone!' Jewel announced. ‘Time to go home.'Quickly enough there were only nine of us left standing there; Jewel, her six posse members, me and Brandy. Alondra had retreated with Taliyah and Mikhail. Shaka was still on the ground, hands cupping his tenderized privates.‘Yes?' Jewel tilted her head as she examined me.‘I'm hanging around to make sure Shaka makes it to his car okay.'‘I'll see to it.'‘I'll wait.'‘I said I'll see to it,' she reiterated as her eyes narrowed.‘Vlad, let's go,' Brandy tugged on my dress jacket.‘I heard you the first time, Ms. Lafontanté. You are also the one who put him in his current incapacitated condition, so I am going to stick around until I know he can take care of himself.'‘Do you think you can take me?' she shifted into a fighting stance; all subtle-like.‘I don't know. It isn't about me thinking I can beat you up. It is about not leaving any person at the mercy of those who would do them harm,' I explained coolly.‘Really?' she blinked.‘Really.'‘And if I tell you to get lost, or else?'I heard a car trunk shut rather gently; it was the 'click' of the lock engaging. Then came the crunch of the loose gravel on asphalt as my brother returned. Jewel's eyes shifted passed me, to him then back to me.‘You were stalling for time?'‘Pretty much,' I relaxed minutely.‘Here you go,' Mikhail handed me a padded, rattan practice broadsword. He had another broadsword plus a targe, a 20' diameter shield of Scottish origin).‘It is still seven on two odds.' from Jewel.‘We'll fight,' Brandy stated defensively.‘You and I ~' Taliyah directly addressed Jewel.‘Means nothing,' Jewel snorted. I could virtually see her work out the fight in her mind, going over and then discarding the various possibilities and resulting outcomes. Too many left her and hers with too many welts and bruises (rattan swords really sting) without a completely positive outcome.‘You don't even like him,' she motioned to the still moaning Shaka.‘That never matters,' Mikhail shrugged. ‘The moment you stomped on Shaky's peanuts, I knew Vlad wouldn't leave him here; at your mercy; so here we are.'‘Vlad?' Jewel searched my eyes for answers.‘Right is right and wrong is wrong,' I responded. ‘There is just and unjust punishment. You had every right to throw Mr. Sneed to the ground.'‘The heel to the groin was excessive,' I could hear myself channeling my Father. ‘At that point, he became a victim too. As my Brother said, I couldn't leave him at your mercy uncertain of your intentions.'‘So you do think you can take me,' she grinned like a Moray eel.‘I was really unsure until my Brother put this practice sword in my hand and returned to my side,' I related. ‘Even now, I'm not 100% positive. I've never witnessed your style of marital arts and you are certainly very good. Tha

It was important for me to give the story told embracing our black hair joy and how we are all connected with it (men and women) . Lastly to show how we finally embraced and loved our true self.

On the periphery of the Malian city of Gao, close to the banks of the River Niger, sits an extraordinary pyramid-like structure. Standing 17 meters tall, and reportedly constructed with mud and wood shipped in from Mecca, some 7,000 kilometers away, it is known as the Tomb of Askia. And is believed to be the last resting place of Askia Mohamed I a man who ruled one of Africa's largest yet less remembered superstates: The Songhai Empire. In this episode, I detail the key events in the meteoric rise and the spectacular demise of this extraordinary empire. And I talk to an expert, professor Mauro Nobili of the Univ of Illinois. His areas of expertise include Mali, Islam, and Arabic manuscripts in West Africa. His published works include Sultan, Caliph, and renewer of the faith Ahmad Lobbo, the Tārīkh al-fattāsh, and the making of an Islamic state in West Africa.Guest speaker: Prof. Mauro Nobili University of Illinois Urbana ChampaignGuest Bio: I am a historian of pre-colonial and early-colonial West Africa, with a specific interest in the area of the modern Republic of Mali and the town of Timbuktu. My special focus is on Muslim societies of the region and their Arabic manuscript heritage. I conduct research in several collections of Arabic manuscripts from West Africa, stored in public or private libraries in Africa (Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Niger, Ghana, and Ivory Coast), Europe (Denmark and France), and North America (USA). I have worked and published on topics linked to Arabic calligraphies and script styles, Islamic eschatology, genealogies, and the West African chronicle tradition. My current project is an original study of the Timbuktu chronicle known as the Tārīkh al-fattāsh. The chronicle's complex genesis and authorship is still shrouded in mystery. Notwithstanding the efforts of several scholars, the major obstacle has been the limited access to the actual manuscripts of the chronicle. My research thus comprises an effort to collect all the available manuscript copies of the Tārīkh al-fattāsh, on the basis of which I am producing an innovative analysis of the text. My study is revealing that the Tārīkh al-fattāsh is a novel chronicle written in the 19th century, and not the effort of three generations of scholars who worked on it starting from the early 16th century and eventually interpolated in the 19th century, as previously advanced by most scholars. This 19th-century Tārīkh al-fattāsh was composed by a substantial rework of a 17th-century anonymous work. The manuscripts available allow for a new, comparative edition of the two texts. My work is re-instating the two works to their historical periods and, by throwing light on the political and ideological motivations that lie under their production, as well as the usage of the chronicle themselves, is contributing to improving our knowledge of the intellectual history of West Africa, from the post-medieval period to the immediate pre-colonial time.Mauro's selected works: Amazon booksThe following music was used for this media project:Music: Heroes Of A Thousand Battles by MusicLFilesFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8099-heroes-of-a-thousand-battlesLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist website: https://cemmusicproject.wixsite.com/musiclibraryfilesPhoto: The Tomb of Askia --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daniel-mainwaring5/message

The Seventh Queen (HarperCollins, 2021) is the second book in the Warrior Witch Duology, so the following review and questions for author Greta Kelly assume you've read the first one. If not, go get yourself a copy before listening to the podcast, so you don't encounter any spoilers. The Frozen Crown ends with a cliffhanger. Princess Askia had travelled to Vishir in the hopes of convincing Emperor Armaan of Vishir to help her liberate her own kingdom of Seravesh. Seravesh, like many other countries, fell to the Roven Empire, ruled by Radovan. Radovan magnanimously offered to marry Askia himself and restore peace to her country. The biggest problem with his offer was that none of his wives survived more than six months. And then, of course, he dealt with dissent by ordering his fire witch to burn down entire towns along with the inhabitants. By the end of The Frozen Crown, Askia has a promising protector for her besieged country in the person of her husband-to-be, the polygamous but noble and charismatic Emperor Armaan of Vishir. The wedding and consummation of their union is disrupted when Radovan, a powerful witch, kills Armaan and his chief wife and kidnaps Askia. In The Seventh Queen we learn the secret to Radovan's power. He steals the magic from his wives through the means of a magic stone, and he only needs Askia, a rare death witch, to complete his mastery over all forms of magic. Askia learns she has about a month before the stone fastened around her neck drains her completely of her power. In the meantime, the stone prevents her from using her magic , and lets Radovan to control her. Bereft of her magic and without her guards or sympathetic allies at court, Askia has to rely on her wits to exploit Radovan's weaknesses, and make a plan to best him—no matter what it costs her personally.

If not, go get yourself a copy before listening to the podcast, so you don't encounter any spoilers. The Frozen Crown ends with a cliffhanger. Princess Askia had travelled to Vishir in the hopes of convincing Emperor Armaan of Vishir to help her liberate her own kingdom of Seravesh. Seravesh, like many other countries, fell to the Roven Empire, ruled by Radovan. Radovan magnanimously offered to marry Askia himself and restore peace to her country. The biggest problem with his offer was that none of his wives survived more than six months. And then, of course, he dealt with dissent by ordering his fire witch to burn down entire towns along with the inhabitants. By the end of The Frozen Crown, Askia has a promising protector for her besieged country in the person of her husband-to-be, the polygamous but noble and charismatic Emperor Armaan of Vishir. The wedding and consummation of their union is disrupted when Radovan, a powerful witch, kills Armaan and his chief wife and kidnaps Askia. In The Seventh Queen we learn the secret to Radovan's power. He steals the magic from his wives through the means of a magic stone, and he only needs Askia, a rare death witch, to complete his mastery over all forms of magic. Askia learns she has about a month before the stone fastened around her neck drains her completely of her power. In the meantime, the stone prevents her from using her magic , and lets Radovan to control her. Bereft of her magic and without her guards or sympathetic allies at court, Askia has to rely on her wits to exploit Radovan's weaknesses, and make a plan to best him—no matter what it costs her personally.

The horror of the battlefield is fresh for Princess Askia. She’s just been forced to flee her kingdom, the northern country of Seravesh, where her cousin now rules under the protection of the Emperor of Roven. All that remains of her army is a loyal general and her last remaining legion, the Black Wolves—not enough to protect her former kingdom from men who are willing to burn entire towns to the ground in order to subjugate the population. Askia has one hope left, and it will not depend on her skill with a sword. Her father, a healer, once helped the Emperor of Vishir, the only land capable of matching Roven in strength. If Askia can reach Vishir and convince Emperor Armaan that Roven’s ruler will eventually challenge the peace and prosperity he’s created, Vishir might be drawn into the war before it’s too late to save Askia’s homeland. But how to obtain the favor of Vishir’s Emperor, Armaan? Should she take advantage of his son’s infatuation with her? Should she try to earn the friendship of his principal wife, a stern woman who seems put off by Askia? Should she accept the help of the religious zealots who champion her cause, even though they tortured her years ago, on suspicion of being a witch like her father. In a court full of devious strangers, Askia will have to learn whom to trust, and whose help to ask for. But it is her own concealed dark magic which ultimately holds the key to her survival. Full of twists and turns, The Frozen Crown (Harper Voyager, 2020)--the first installment of the Greta Kelly’s Warrior Witch Duology--left me checking publication dates for the follow-up. If you like strong heroines, court intrigues, magic, and a touch of sensual sizzle, this novel is for you. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today’s show, Sima welcomes Mike Page, the Co-founder and Chief Executive of Phebi, as her guest on the podcast. The founding story of Phebi Phebi has been around for a little more than a year and their focus is on the insights industry. Their journey has been around the explosion in voice and voice tech when they saw the whole landscape of how people interact with technology was shifting to voice. That created a wonderful opportunity for insights specialists and researchers. It gave researchers the chance to offer their respondents a better experience while simultaneously creating a richer source of insight for themselves. Talking versus typing People talk more naturally than they type, so you tend to get longer, richer answers. The audio can get people used to listening to how people are speaking and not just responding to written word. Webinars Phebi started with some webinars with friendly companies, like Askia, which were very well received. Then, a London company wanted to try what Phebi was offering, so they presented at a healthcare research conference, and that was how Phebi really got its start. They won the innovation award In January, Phebi went to the IAX Conference and won the innovation award. That was very prestigious for a small company! Phebi continued to grow Soon after they won the award in 2020, the world shut down. Since then, things have continued to grow. Things have taken off Their message resonated. And the ability to capture non-conscious metrics to use alongside things like text analytics from an audio source that is easy to collect in a self-serve manner, has taken off. Non-conscious measurement With non-conscious measurement, you have the potential to pick up more nuanced sentiments and emotions that could not get spotted before. Doing that at scale is much of what Phebi does. Non-conscious measurements can help researchers get to insights quicker and more effectively. It adds the resonance that comes with audio so researchers can capture people’s first sentiments related to a question. Emotional Resonance Score The Emotional Resonance Score is one of the things that they provide for comparing things. Non-conscious measurement is a good predictor When you use a non-conscious measurement to compare things, it is very good at predicting what people are likely to feel the most passionate about or connected to. A live setting They even have some clients who are using Phebi in a live setting, where they are looking at people’s true sentiments and emotions while an interview is in process. Non-conscious measurement combined with a 3-D transcription When a non-conscious measurement gets combined with a 3-D transcription, it opens a lot of opportunity for understanding how people feel about something. Getting better and quicker At Phebi, they have gotten better and better and quicker and quicker at delivering self-serve tools that will help people extract insights from voice. Going faster 2020 has allowed them to establish their technology and grow much faster. Now, everything gets done virtually, so their whole adoption process has accelerated. People don’t always say what they mean People don’t always say what they mean. So hearing how they say things can be very interesting. The Phebi portal After gaining access to the Phebi portal, you can upload any audio into it. There, everything gets organized. You can then create groups and subgroups to get the emotional scores in all the different sections. The Phebi plug-in You will also get the Phebi plug-in to manage the technical aspect of things. It works with all the main survey platforms. Links: Email me your thoughts!

My name is Omar Askia Ali, a.ka Edward Sistrunk. I'm housed at SCI Coal Township in Pennsylvania. The topic today is the virus. Currently, the percentage of the Coronavirus at SCI Coal Township is small. However, it's still harmful to both the prison staff and the prison population. Adding to the concern of the virus are the parole violators being brought to this facility directly from the street. This concern towards the virus is the fact that, when smoking was committed, the filters and the ventilator system were not secure enough to provide protection to the populous who didn't smoke. Thereby the variants with the virus only enhance the concern, because the droplets from sneezing are air bound. And if the ventilator system didn't keep the tobacco smoke secure, how can prisoners be assured we are not at further risk for variants via the ventilator system with inadequate filters. I assure you, there is wonderment whether the virus was another means for society to rid itself of black people, since the prison system is somewhat parallel to the outer society, primarily with black people. And credence can be given for concerns for the virus by utilizing historical data from institutionalized diabolical schemes, such as the all-white juries, which are utilized to convict black people nationwide in court. The diabolical scheme is parallel to the Tuskegee Syphilis experiments on Black people. And it's well known that white supremacy don't mind eradicating other whites to maintain power. History and recent history attest to that. Fraternally yours, Omar Askia Ali. Thank you.

Until forty or fifty years ago, almost all that was expected of a husband and a father was to protect and provide for his family. Today, most men realize that the cultural perceptions are changing: a good husband/father also communicates with those in his care, expresses love for them, and is involved in many aspects of their lives. While this is progress, the cultural perceptions for women are just as complex. According to recent studies, a large percentage of women are out-earning their spouses and contributing to household expenses. This shift in cultural perceptions has contributed to the breakdown in love and connection between our brothers and sisters. In this podcast epiosde, we are joined with Imam Faheem, Zarinah Raheem, Roseline Louis, and Hamza ibn Askia. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sabria-mills/support

Companies typically take your investments, add them to theirs and invest it in the stock market, mutual funds, and more to increases the returns for you and them. Some people aren't aware that they can take their pension and obtain a lower interest loan against it that saves them on the interest rate while it continues to remain in the pension account.

When it comes to setting up your financial plan and strategy for your portfolio, including real estate is a wise choice. During this episode of Wealth Academy Podcast, Enter To Win Coaching Session #7 focuses on real estate and how it can generate wealth for you.Coach Paul Vann shared his experience purchasing a single-family house in Texas and it was leased out to tenants for several years and then sold years later. Coach Paul purchased his first property while employed by Mobil Oil Company and it has proven to be one of his best investments because he more than doubled what he paid for it. Coach Vann also purchased a house when he moved to the state of Maryland and it has proven to be another property whereby the value of the property has tripled in value and will continue to do so as a result of the inventory of properties available for sale is at an all-time low. I encourage people to search for the neighborhood and location of a property that has long-term value, such as an entertainment complex, access to major highways, schools, airports, shopping, restaurants, and more. A house provides a wonderful tax break and adds to the net worth of owners as well.Dr. Davis, Sr. invested in the New York City real estate market which is one of the most expensive in the U.S. He shares how he started out in the real estate market when properties were low, and over time he has experienced a great return on his investment. Dr. Davis pointed out the importance of working with a real estate lawyer that knows properties inside, out such as the physical structure of a building. Coach Vann and Dr. Davis encourage listeners to invest in real estate and preface this episode by stating they are not real estate agents or brokers, thus they provide a disclaimer letting you know your best decision for investing in real estate should include a real estate agent, broker, or lawyer and accountant on your team whether it's for a single-family property, brownstone, duplex, apartment or office building.Encourage your family, friends, and or colleagues to tune in and listen on Apple Podcasts, rate and review this episode, and provide a 5-star rating.

Greta Kelly is the author of the debut fantasy novel, THE FROZEN CROWN. Violently displaced from the wild beauty of her homeland by a ruthless conqueror, the young princess Askia seeks support from a neighboring nation to the south. But in sun-soaked Vishir, where nobles live lavishly while refugees starve, Askia finds herself a blunt object amongst a court of delicate manners and fragile alliances. The princess urgently needs Vishir's armies to intervene before her country burns. Yet first she must navigate a court that harbors too many enemies, including a vindictive royal son, the hateful mouthpiece for her northern aggressor, and the religious zealots who murdered her parents. Her allies complicate matters, too. A friendly prince whose attentions invite scandal. Her loyal captain whose devotion barely overshadows his longing. An enigmatic Queen who may be mentor or manipulator. And the ghost of her best friend—an apparition only she can see, because Askia carries her own carefully guarded secret. She is a witch, in a world where magic can be a powerful tool—or a death sentence. As every advancing day threatens the annihilation of her army, Askia will face an impossible choice. But will any sacrifice be enough to satisfy two opposing emperors and save her people? THE FROZEN CROWN is the first novel in a duology, available January 12th from Harper Voyager: Amazon: https://amzn.to/3oA5xO0 Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/a/16632/9780062956958 Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-frozen-crown-greta-kelly/1136268411 Books-a-Million: https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Frozen-Crown/Greta-Kelly/9780062956958 IndieBound: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780062956958 » Some of these links are affiliate links.

Being a single Mom was NOT in Askia Taylors plan, but it lead to her starting her business The Future of Division 1. Askia had to learn to navigate the male dominated world of professional sports and now helps other parents to do the same. Join us as we talk about the anxiety of kids leaving for college and making mistakes, and hear how an acquaintance unexpectedly became a safe harbor when her life turned upside down.

The code is: WARRIORWOMEN and it will work the entire month December. Guest Bio: Askia Taylor Professional experience - 20 yrs in Marketing and Advertising Got a start in media sales after an internship at KTLA-TV, moved to KCBS-TV then migrated into a career at the intersection where digital ad tech and ad agencies collide. She's built multi-million dollar campaign strategies in multiple categories including automotive, pharmaceutical, television & film, CPG and beauty. After launching Media Bella, a wildly successful media consultancy in 2008, she became pregnant with her second son. Days after her second son turned 4 months old, the children's father left her for another woman with $13.16 in the bank. He never returned. Left with two options and no financial resources, Askia chose to pack up her infant and pre-teen son, and move into the home of her oldest son's youth football coach - a man she barely knew. A choice she fondly recalls as the best she's ever made. Despite the harsh reality of her grim financial circumstances, the humiliation of abandonment, she kept her eyes on their futures. "I was moving and operating with zero clarity. All I knew was I needed to do what made the most sense for Dallas. He was priority number 1. My infant was easy, he was perfectly happy to be papoosed to my chest everyday. My oldest was my biggest concern because I knew he was painfully aware of everything that had gone on and since I was barely able to process our new normal, I knew he was struggling too. We didn't deserve what was happening to us and I was ill-equipped to help him. It was more pain and confusion than most 12 year olds should ever have to process and the only thing I could think to do was keep him in sports. He was the happiest version of himself in a jersey and I refused to take that from him. We battled through the pain by not avoiding it and we've never looked back." The Future of Division 1 was born out of a series of circumstances that happened to and around a single mother and her son, a Division 1 football recruit. A mom who had zero knowledge of the college recruiting process but dove in blindly to support her son through it - twice. The company name is a personal declaration that speaks truth to the futures of all facets of the Division 1 recruiting process and has now blossomed into a brand, sports content company including a podcast and web series (currently in development) with hundreds of athletes proclaiming their futures. The Future of D1 is the future of professional sports.

My name is Omar Askia Ali. I'm at SCI Coal Township in Pennsylvania. And my topic today is on white men are allowed to stand on the steps of a government building in protest of their liberties being stepped on unchallenged by law enforcement. They also burned down Black Wall Street in Tuscaloosa, Oklahoma; its destruction by white mobs, which included over 300 black people being killed. However, none of them went to prison.Racist disparities expect the circumstances of black people in America: the Coronavirus and the healthcare of black people in America among other disparities, which also include the all-white jury, which is supposed to be unconstitutional, because the United States Supreme Court has ruled that this draconian, premeditated illegal move is synonymous to a high-tech lyching.However, DAs all over America do use this scheme, circumventing the high courts' ruling and rendering it impotent. My book, "The Truth and Nothing But The Truth" contains the manual that DAs all over America utilize to train other DAs. You can touch 2158885200 for any of the information pertaining to the manual. Utilize, fix all-white juries. Thank you very much.

You're listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast. The next set of episodes are conversations I had at this year's Corporate Researchers Conference or CRC. This is put on by the Insights Association in Orlando, Florida. I had quite a few interesting conversations highlighting specific companies that exhibited this year as well as a couple of speakers, Wells Fargo, IBM, etc. I hope you have a really good rest of your day and enjoy these short episodes. [00:32] I have Angela Pack with Askia. We are at the Insights Association’s big event. What is it called? [00:41] Corporate Researchers Conference. [00:42] Thank you. CRC for short. Yes, that's right. We are on the exhibit floor. There is the promise of alcohol over your right shoulder, which I'm super excited about. How about yourself? [00:52] I am eyeing those little EOS lip balms and the tiny little things of mints, so… [00:58] You're such a good human being. [00:59] I'm going to be a little lurker later and maybe grab a few things to take home. [01:03] You already grabbed one of my stickers. [01:05] I did. [01:05] The shark one, I think. [01:07] Shark. I love shark week. [01:08] Yeah. What was your point about sharks? [01:09] They have to keep moving or they will drown. [01:12] I kind of feel like that sometimes. [01:14] I feel more like the turkey that if I stand outside with my mouth open, I'm going to drown. [01:18] I didn't know that was a thing. [01:20] That’s a thing. [01:21] Really. Okay, well, there you go, Insights Nation. We did not know that that is a thing. [01:28] All sorts of color. [01:29] Yeah, that's great. [01:30] So Askia, you guys, I hear really good things. Richard Collins, of course, a dear friend of mine over the years, worked for me at another company, and he's based out of London right now, I believe. [01:41] He is based out of London, and he brought me on in July. [01:44] Okay, good. So, where were you before? [01:47] I was actually on the qual side of things. And then prior to that, I was in the panel world for a very long time. [01:56] That's been an interesting space with… I'd love to talk to you more about that, but I want to like, first I want to dive in: tell me what is going on with Askia. And then we're going to shift gears and talk about the conference. [02:06] All sorts of things are going on with Askia. We have products in development. We've got new partnerships that are bringing us things like platforms, charting. So a relationship with ETABS and so just bigger and better, and we're expanding our US capabilities and that's where I came on. So we have a completely female, US sales team, which is me. We’re 100%. [01:36] I was super excited. So, is it expanding? Like are you hiring? What's going on? [02:42] We are looking for people in the US. [02:43] Okay, perfect. And if they want to contact you, I will get your card and include that information in the show notes. [02:49] Perfect. It's very easy, Angela@Askia.com [02:53] That is really easy. [02:54] It's super… Although people keep calling me “Anskia,

Welcome to the MRMW NA 2019 Conference Series. Recorded live in Cincinnati, this series is bringing interviews straight to you from exhibitors and speakers at this year’s event. In this interview, host Jamin Brazil interviews Rudy Bublitz, Director of Digital Taxonomy. Contact Rudy Online: LinkedIn Rudy@DigitalTaxonomy.co.uk Digital Taxonomy [00:00] My guest is Rudy with Digital Taxonomy. Digital Taxonomy.co.uk is name of their website. I hope you’ll check them out. It’s really an interesting combination of AI and human judgment to transform unstructured text into actionable insights. I was impressed with their framework for how to derive and pull out high quality in that really-becoming-a-crowded space. I hope you’ll check it out. [00:30] So, my guest today is Rudy with Digital Taxonomy. Tell us a little bit about Digital Taxonomy. [00:36] We are a software provider. We have two products in our portfolio. We focus on verbatim coding within the survey research context and that includes traditional verbatim coding where humans are employed. But our application tries to make best use of both a natural language processing, text analytics, sentiment analysis as well as a machine learning capability to try to automate the things humans do. We don’t want to replace humans; we just think it’s... you know we can optimize their performance by making best use of these tools that have been around for a while, trying to work that into a human interface. So, that’s the real struggle. [01:19] So, talk to me a little bit about how you guys are different. There’s a couple of different text analytics companies out there in the market research space. [01:26] A couple? [01:27] Yes. [laughter] [01:28] And all the freebies and all the … [01:30] Right, and then you have AWS, you know what I mean, at scale. [01:32] Yeah, you can go out, and you can write things in R, and you can do a lot of things on your own. But if you’re going to create an interface that humans are going to interplay with those things and control them – those different technologies, that’s a bit harder. The human interface is really the most important piece because you have to have ways for a lot of people in an organization to use the software, not just specialists. A lot of this stuff... There’s a roomful of three or four specialists that are in charge text analytics, machine learning, and they go off and do their thing. We’re trying to create an application that can be used by analysts, by coders, by DP staff, by end-customers, everyone. [02:12] What is one of your favorite projects that you guys worked on? [02:16] Oh, I’ve done a bunch of work. I’m kind of a Londonphile, and I’ve done a bunch of work on London hotels and restaurants, massive numbers of reviews. So, I’ve come to know the restaurant and hotel industry quite well in London, which is very helpful. Many of these are the very posh places. Using the text analytics and a combination of a little bit of human assistance, built basically my own Yelp for London for hotels and restaurants. You pick sort of the things that are important to you and the ratings of the restaurants. and I can show you selections in that category. [02:51] So, from a workflow perspective, how do companies interact with you? Do they provide you their unstructured data in like a file or are you usually part of a quantitative study? How does it...? [03:07] So, right now we license the software. So an agency will license the software from us. The data can come in from any form. And we have an open API as well; so, if it’s a consistent method for transporting data from tools like Decipher, from Askia, from Survey Monkey, anywhere, we can set up an automated process so that just flows, in the evening. We also have the ability to code in surveys; so,

Iman and Shimon are joined by Askia Acquah Hanson of the Askia Hanson Podcast.This was recorded back in February but we got lazy and didn't post it on time. In the midst of several sci-fi tangents and Shimon's manly, military songs we learned a little about Ghana and decide to create a coon-free/ni**a-free media empire.
The Change in America (3:16) Omar Askia Ali
Welcome to the #IIEX Europe Conference Series 2019. Recorded live in Amsterdam, this series is bringing interviews straight to you from exhibitors and speakers at this year’s event. In this interview, host Jamin Brazil interviews Richard Collins, Chief Customer Officer at Askia. This Episode’s Sponsor: GreenBook Contact Richard Online: LinkedIn Askia [00:02] We are live at IIeX. What do you think about the show so far? [00:06] It’s good. This venue is awesome. It’s probably the best one on the roster that we go to. They run it really well, good content loads. It loads of different things you’re going to learn here. I don’t have a booth this year. I’m regretting that. I think I’ll get one for next year. [00:24] Yes, it’s been for PureSpectrum, it actually has been really good for us. It’s been a lot of activities. It’s perfect. I love the activity map. Askia, what’s going on with Askia? [00:39] Askia, we’ve just changed our tagline. We’ve been software for surveys for 20 years, and we’re now automating insight because a lot of our clients, they’ve got Askia in the middle of what they’re doing and what you’re doing is so hard. There is so much technology involved, it’s so more complicated than it used to be. We’re working with companies like KPMG companies, companies like Hall and Partners where we are at the center of what they’re doing. But they’re using lots of other things to link through to it. Lots of automation, lots of APIs, lots of really clever things. We’re doing a lot of custom things for clients. There’s a lot going on at the moment and the business is definitely changing. We’re having to be less of just a software company to almost more of a consulting company. They have research operational problems and we help them solve those. [01:35] That’s actually really interesting. What are you seeing… because you’re a veteran of the industry. You’ve touched a lot, right? Qualitative technology, quant technology, quite a few from a global point of view, what are you seeing as trending right now. [01:51] Automation’s the big word. Everyone is trying to save time to the bits that can be automated to do those. Whether it’s sampling, whether it’s waiting, whether it’s getting data, merging data, data processing. Those things that are difficult and could potentially be to automated. That’s the trend I’m seeing. [02:18] Yes it was blockchain last year. Right? [02:18] Mm-hmm. [02:19] It’s funny. It’s like one in one year, there just hasn’t been a lot of mention of blockchain. [02:25] I think there have been two papers both today. Yes that’s right. I expected there might be that there were loads last year. [02:35] Yes exactly. I guess my broader point is, do you feel like automation is here to stay or do you feel like it’s more faddish? [02:43] No, I think it’s here to stay. There are all sorts of different ways you can have AI and whether it’s pure AI or not, I don’t think it really matters. It’s whether you can be taking the best of human skills, automating those where possible, where it makes sense. You can save an awful lot of money, save time, and get those people who are smart. We got some really smart people in the industry, getting them focused on generating insights and helping them generate insights. Things like automating on the analytics so to be able to pull out the analytics, what are the main themes coming through from this study without interaction and then the researchers will come in and then expand those, explore those. [03:36] Yes, I actually, I think you’re exactly right on the automation viewpoint. It’s funny because we’d been doing it, it’s like cloud computing. We were doing stuff in the “cloud server base” well before it was defined. We just wrapped a new word around it and all of a sudden. [03:59] We’re actually saying, people are asking for things away from the cloud, so they want control. [04:02] Centralization. Is that around consumer privacy? [04:07]
