**NOTICIAS ECONÓMICAS Y FINANCIERAS** ☕️ FTX, la plataforma de intercambio de criptomonedas que colapsó hace casi dos años, ha recibido la aprobación judicial para reembolsar completamente a los clientes cuyos activos digitales quedaron bloqueados en la plataforma. El juez de quiebras de EE.UU., John Dorsey, aprobó el plan como parte de una estrategia desarrollada por los asesores que asumieron el control de la empresa tras su quiebra. Esto ocurre tras una orden judicial que exige a FTX y su socio Alameda Research pagar $12.7 mil millones a los acreedores. FTX estima que distribuirá entre $14.7B y $16.5B, aunque los pagos no se emitirán de inmediato, ya que primero se debe establecer un fideicomiso.La gigante tecnológica taiwanesa Foxconn (OTCPK:$FXCOF) está construyendo la mayor instalación de fabricación del mundo dedicada a producir los superchips Nvidia ($NVDA) GB200 para satisfacer la enorme demanda. Un alto ejecutivo de la empresa comentó que no podía revelar la ubicación de la planta, pero aseguró que es la más grande del planeta. Conocida por ensamblar los iPhones de Apple ($AAPL), Foxconn está aprovechando sus capacidades de manufactura para capitalizar en el creciente mercado de la inteligencia artificial, mejorando sus técnicas de producción, incluyendo tecnologías avanzadas de refrigeración líquida y disipación de calor necesarias para los servidores GB200. Las acciones de Super Micro Computer ($SMCI) aumentaron más del 4% el martes, después de un notable incremento del 16% el día anterior, tras la exitosa implementación de más de 100,000 GPU con su innovador sistema de refrigeración líquida.

LoveIn 7 parts, based on the posts by senorlongo. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novel. I woke too early the following morning, but I really didn't have a choice. Hosi was still spooned in front of me and my hand was still on her soft firm breast. However, what woke me were her two hands--one gently rubbing my balls and the other my cock head into her puckered star. She looked over her shoulder and smiled, “Good morning, Consort…enjoy your first real night in the palace?”“Sure,” I responded in a whisper, “but I'm still having the same problem I had in our little house—someone keeps waking me up.”Hosi laughed, “I guess I'm guilty of wanting you too much. I have to tell you, though, that rubbing you against my ass feels really good. I'm thinking that we should try that anal sex. Can we do it now?”“No, Hosi it will take a lot of preparation. We'll need some lubricant…probably that oil they used on me when I was milked and I will have to prep you. It could take a long time, but if I don't you'll want to kill me. That's how painful it could be, especially the first time. Instead…how about this?” I lifted her leg over my hip and took my cock from her. I rubbed it into her slit and slipped it into her mere seconds later.“Mmmmm…I like this idea. I like it a lot. I can reach down and hold your balls and I can turn around and kiss you…like this.” She laid a big juicy kiss on me. Our tongues dueled as our passion grew. We heard a noise behind us and Hosi broke away, looked over me, shook her head, and resumed. Whoever it was—a guard, I assumed—left and we continued our lovemaking. I pounded Hosi's pussy and mauled her breasts; she loved it. I could tell from her breathing which became rapid and shallow. When I reached down to pinch her clit she jumped, groaned loudly and finally collapsed as she came really hard. She was still shaking several minutes later. I held her tightly, kissing her neck and back. I whispered, “I love you,” in her ear.I was still in her when she clapped once. She told the responding guard, “Please bring our daughter.” The guard bowed and backed out. Minutes later Kela was squealing as she climbed over us. I was still inside Hosi's pussy, but that didn't matter. Kela had seen us fucking dozens of times. What would have been the most hideous taboo in our society was just normal everyday living in the valley.“Watch this, Kela. Watch Mommy make Daddy cum. I'll bet I won't even have to move.” Hosi had incredible control over her muscles and her vaginal muscles were no exception. She squeezed my cock from base to tip and repeated, eventually cycling every two to three seconds. The sensations were incredible. She made me cum in about two minutes. “Yaaay, Mommy,” she exclaimed.Kela was not impressed. “Dada…Dada,” she said as she smiled and climbed over my legs so I could hold and hug her.Hosi was in a mock pout, “I don't know…I do all the work and what do I get…Dada! I can't win.” Then laughing again she continued, “Actually, all I ever do is win. I got you and Kela and in about six months we'll have another and I'm Queen and maybe I'll have another ten babies. Let's get up and eat. I have some work this morning.”Hosi never failed to amaze me. She wanted another ten kids? I pulled out, wiped my sloppy cock on a towel and dressed. We walked to the dining hall where we ate another breakfast of eggs and fruit. I was reminded to spend some time with the cooks. Kela enjoyed the eggs and tiny pieces of fruit. She sat on my lap while I tickled her by kissing her neck. I loved hearing her say “Dada” and I couldn't wait to hear her say “Mama,” too. We were a happy family, and after the events of the past few days an extremely lucky one, too.Hosi kissed me and went to the throne room to deal with some business; I went to the kitchen. Kela was left in the care of several guards. She would see her buddy Sama, Scott's daughter, later in the day.I went directly to the kitchen and spoke to the cooks. I asked to see their cooking implements—they didn't have even a single frying pan or skillet, or griddle. I was about to describe one when a thought hit me like a thunderbolt. These women may have been cooks, but they were also warriors. “Do you know Kevin,” I asked. I continued when they nodded, “Please run and I do mean run to his house and tell him I need him and his pistol immediately.” I turned and ran back to our bed chamber. I found my pistol, checked the magazine and racked the slide, chambering a round. I set the safety, slid the pistol into my belt under my shirt, and ran to the throne room. I walked in—I did not wish to alarm Hosi and interrupted her, “I am sorry, my Queen, but I must speak with you immediately.” I took her aside and she understood before I even finished; she returned to the throne and interrupted her business to summon the captain of the guards.“Assemble all the guards. I wish to speak with them.” Five minutes later they were present, formed up into four lines of ten each, their spears at their sides. “Captain, I wish to know who was on duty when Queen Aleppa was injured by Reta.” The captain looked down the ranks and, while she did, I removed my pistol from my belt and thumbed the safety off. I hid it behind my back while I alertly eyed the lines of guards.Suddenly, two guards split ranks, going in opposite directions, left and right. Each aimed a spear at Hosi. I pulled her down, dropped to my knee and took out the guard to the right—she was much closer. Two explosions rocked the chamber as my 9-millimeter fired, the heavy lead slugs striking home in the center of her chest. I wheeled left and was about to fire when three more explosions echoed through the room. Simultaneously two spears drove through her body. Two guards had done their duty. The rogue guard clutched her throat and fell forward dead.I pulled Hosi up and hugged her, “I think it's finally over. I couldn't understand how Reta could get the queen alone and then it struck me. She needed to have the cooperation of several guards. Maybe the queen was alone and maybe she wasn't, but either way Reta could not have done all this by herself.”We looked up and all the remaining guards were on their knees, their heads on the floor. The captain spoke, “My Queen, those two were the only guards on duty that day. I must be getting stupid; I should have realized that they were in collusion with Reta. With your permission I will have their bodies removed and taken to the jungle to be left there and eaten by the animals.” I learned later that this was akin to being sent to Hell in our society. Hosi thanked the two who had hurled their spears, gave her permission and we retreated to our quarters. We both hugged Kevin and Hosi kissed him as we thanked him for coming so quickly. “You'd thank me even more if you knew what I left behind—three beautiful virgins all vying for my favors. I didn't think there were many left, but I am glad I was able to get here in time. My friends will still be there when I return.” He bowed to Hosi and left.Hosi was visibly shaken when I took her back to bed. I didn't want to fuck her, but I did think she would benefit from being held and caressed. We were there for several minutes when I realized that Hosi was crying. “Will this never end, David? This is like some of those diseases you told me about.”“I think it's over now, Hosi. If there's anyone else they'll be too afraid to act, but I think we've emptied the nest. She had her followers during the attack. It makes sense that all her disciples be with her then. They had no way of knowing what resistance they would encounter. The guards, though, couldn't join in without giving themselves away. Once the attackers were caught they probably thought they could lay low until they had a chance to take care of you somehow. Now, please take a little advice. Take the rest of the day off. Rest and relax; there's nothing pressing today.” Hosi took my advice. We stayed in bed except for taking time to bathe, eat, and use the toilet. When we rose the following morning we were met with an incredible surprise.We had our breakfast—the eggs were better, but we obviously needed something to fry with, and a few recipes, too. Upon completing our meal the captain of the guards told us that the tribe had gathered outside the palace. We looked at each other incredulously. Cautiously, Hosi and I walked out. I carried Kela in my arms, debating whether I should try for my pistol. Finally, I decided it would be a waste of time. If they wanted us dead there wasn't much I could do with a pistol to stop that. Instead, the door opened and we walked out. The entire tribe went to its knees, the palace guards included. The Council of Elders rose and approached.“My Queen,” the eldest began, speaking loudly enough for all to hear, “we are appalled at everything that has befallen you. You are our Queen, chosen in a contest you won fairly and with incredible strength and skill. We wish to repeat the allegiance ceremony so you will know that each and every one of us wants and respects you as our Queen. May I be the first?”Hosi and I were shocked. I knew she would have preferred to say it was unnecessary. However, to do so would have a negative effect on the tribe. She steeled herself to repeat the ceremony. A large chair was brought forth for Hosi and she commanded one for me as well. We sat this time as one after another of the tribe repeated their oath. When they were done Hosi thanked them and declared the day a holiday. We adjourned to the baths where we were stripped to enjoy the clear warm water. Kela loved the baths. I was teaching her to enjoy being submerged. Soon I would teach her and the others to swim. When I mentioned it to Hosi she admitted that none of the Amazons could swim; several drowned each year from falling into a river or stream. In fact, she didn't believe it could even be done. I couldn't believe it! If we lost only five Amazons a year we would also lose perhaps twenty offspring over the course of their lives. At a time when we were all working hard to increase the size of the tribe such a loss was inconceivable. There had to be something we could do. I discussed the problem with Scott. He had some ideas, but first I had to convince Hosi.I had a thin rope tied around my waist so I wouldn't go over the falls. I went first to the waist-deep water where the current was weak and flopped over onto my back. I floated easily much to the amazement of the tribe. I flipped over and swam strongly up river, allowing myself to float slowly back. When I stood up I received an ovation.I explained that one must always be aware of the current, especially in a river with a waterfall, but in a lazy pool like that at the bottom of the fall it would be easy to frolic and swim safely. After my demonstration Hosi gladly approved the construction of a swimming area. Scott and I supervised the construction of a dam making up three-quarters of a circle roughly 200 meters above the falls. It slowed the flow of water making a pool that was shallow and safe. The dam sealed off about half of the river with the other half flowing freely toward the falls. I took Kela into the water first, bouncing her up and down and deliberately submerging her for several seconds. She laughed and splashed as I held her tightly under her arms. I returned her to the shore leaving her with Rini before taking Hosi by the hand. She feigned nervousness, but she knew all too well that I'd never allow her to be hurt. I placed her on her back and instructed her in the art of floating. She had tried several times with mixed success when I suggested we trade places. She held her hands under my back as I had done with her. I managed to “slip off” and went under, rising a few seconds later and squirting her with water from my mouth. Thus began the tribal swimming lessons. All the men served as eager teachers--the prospect of handling all those nubile bodies was all the motivation anyone would need. I doubted that any of the Amazons would become competitive, but, hopefully, far fewer would drown should they fall into the water.Hosi had been Queen for slightly over a month when we had some unexpected visitors one morning. Scott walked in with Rini, Lona, and his daughter Sama. Kela jumped up and down, running to Sama. Seconds later they were playing and running as only toddlers can. Scott approached--his arms around Rini and Lona. They bowed and Scott spoke, “I didn't think it possible, my Queen, but these two have made me forget all the bad things that happened to me with Reta. They think they love me; I know I have come to love them in the past month. I request permission to move in with them.” Hosi jumped down from her throne and went to hug Scott and each of the women, “Permission gladly granted. I wish you all the best. You certainly deserve it.”She kissed each of them and returned to my side as they left arm in arm. “We were really lucky that they joined up with Scott. They're exactly what he needed.”“Luck, darling had nothing to do with it. Rini and Lona are two of my best friends. Of course, I knew he would never accept being—what's the term you use—oh, yes, ‘fixed up' so I had them handle it as though it was all their idea.” I looked at my mate, not for the first time, with awe and admiration in my eyes.I listened on the shortwave every night for the message from my friends. Truthfully, I was about to give up hope when I heard at last from Sean. He, Harry, Steve, John, and Jacob were almost ready. They expected to fly to Recife the following Friday. He asked if that would be OK. I told him that the sooner the better so far as we were concerned. I told him I would bring a pleasant surprise to town when they arrived. Hosi was extremely pleased when I told her. We made our plans the very next day.Friday morning couldn't come fast enough. We decided to take both boats—Kevin would pilot one with three of the virgins we selected to accompany us, as well as one of his favorite women. I drove the other with Hosi and the other two virgins. The men's first night in the jungle would be a memorable one—all the virgins were eagerly looking forward to their first fucking. We pulled up to the dock in mid-afternoon, having reserved seven rooms, almost the entire inn, for the night. We walked to the airport and waited for their plane to land. This was the first time any of the women other than Hosi had ever worn any covering over the upper half of their bodies. I could tell they found the experience uncomfortable.It was really funny when the men exited the airplane—hilarious actually. The guys stood in a line looking at the women; they stood and looked at the men. I was reminded of a junior high school dance. Finally, one of the virgins introduced herself to one of the men and led him away. Soon they were all paired up until I noticed a problem—there were two men for the last woman. “Sorry, David,” said Harry, “We had a last minute addition—my brother Gene. He's the most useless of all of us; he's a lawyer.”“It's OK with me,” the virgin Tama exclaimed. “I think I can handle both of them.” We shared a laugh as she linked arms with the two men and joined the others for the short walk back to the hotel. I expected the men to suggest a brief nap after their long flights, but it was the Amazons who took control, leading the men like sheep to slaughter. It was just past four; I suggested we meet around 8:00 for dinner. Hosi retrieved a small amphora capped with a wooden plug from our boat; then she and I retired to our room. I stripped naked and knelt to remove Hosi's skirt, sandals, and thong. I stood and pulled her T-shirt over her head, twisting her around as I did. I leaned down to kiss her neck as my arms went around her waist. “You're the best looking queen I've ever known. I used to think of Elizabeth whenever I envisioned a queen. She's definitely not my type.”“Who's this Elizabeth? And should I be jealous?”I couldn't stop laughing long enough to explain. Eventually, I ran out of breath. “Elizabeth…is the…Queen of England,” I gasped. “That's an island nation a long, long way from here. Her son is old enough to be my father. She's in her eighties. She does have a certain appeal, though—she's the richest woman in the world. However,” I paused for dramatic effect, something that was not lost on Hosi, “you certainly have treasures of your own and I do LOVE your treasures.” I cupped her breasts as I nibbled her ear. “Let's wash and then I'd like to explore those delicious assets.” Hosi giggled wildly as I led her to the shower.We'd been in these showers before—many times. They were tiny, made for one at most, so, of course, we squeezed in together. I always enjoyed her breasts poking into my chest; she always enjoyed my hard cock poking her. In fact, she always enjoyed getting poked by my cock, in the shower, in the hallway, on a dresser, in bed…oh well, you get the idea. We sometimes lingered in the shower reveling in the hot water, but today we had a bigger need. We needed to fuck—we were desperate for each other.I had barely finished drying Hosi and had water still dripping from my body when she yanked my arm and pulled me relentlessly toward the bed. She pushed me back, my legs wide feet on the floor. She dove in leading with her tongue. Hosi laved my cock and balls with her long, strong and talented tongue. I lay there in sublime ecstasy until she pulled back, “I'm ready, Consort. You may prepare me.”I looked up to see her grinning widely, eyes ablaze with excitement. She held the small capped jar in her hand. It took me almost a minute to realize what she was saying—what she meant and wanted. “Are you sure,” I asked sincerely. “It could take us an hour to get you ready and then it could be over in seconds. I'm really hot for you.”Hosi giggled, “I'll take my chances. You wouldn't disappoint the queen, would you?” She sounded serious, but we both knew different. I stood, took the oil from her and held her in my arms as I kissed her deeply. She melted in my embrace as I melted in hers. I never failed to be amazed that I had come thousands of miles to the deepest jungle of Brazil to find the love of my life. I traded places with Hosi, placing her gently on the bed while I moved to the floor. I placed a pillow under her hips and told her, “You saw the couple in the movie. They were fucking in what's called “doggie,” because that's the positions that two animals would take. I've always found it easier and more enjoyable this way—with you on your back and your legs in the air. This way you will be able to see everything I do and if I hurt you we will both be able to see what I did wrong. OK, so far?”Hosi nodded and I moved forward, pouring a small amount of oil onto my hand. I rubbed it into her anus, enjoying how it made Hosi squirm. Then I pushed my first finger into her. She'd already had a single finger so that wasn't the least traumatic. I massaged that finger into her asshole for almost five minutes before adding a second. I turned my fingers clockwise and counter-clockwise—back and forth-- stretching her anus and preparing it to accept my thick cock. I added more and more oil and ten minutes later my third finger. They formed a triangle in my lover's ass. I was pleased to see how well she was handling the intrusion.I leaned to her side and kissed her, all the while fucking her ass with those three persistent fingers. “OK, darling?” When she sighed and smiled I continued, “Good, I'll do it soon. I'm as hard as your spear.” Fucking her this way, I took another ten minutes before I was sure she was ready. I poured a small amount of oil over my throbbing cock. In one quick motion I pulled my fingers out and thrust my cock in, aiming for the small gape left in her anus.I took less than three seconds to push my cock almost half-way into her. I placed her legs on my shoulders and leaned forward again. Hosi's eyes went wide when she realized that she could see both my hands. Immediately, she looked down, spying my organ well embedded into her ass. We kissed, and held that sensational kiss, for more than ten minutes while I sawed in and out of her tight dark hole. Using my other hand I began to tickle her cunt—rubbing her labia, fingering her tunnel, and pinching her clit. I needed to turn her on quickly or I was going to cum and leave my Queen high and dry. That would never do.I was able to sense small tremors in Hosi's body so I shifted into a higher gear, actively twisting her clit between my fingers. It came like lightning, almost without warning. So massive was her spasm that she leapt more than a foot from the bed in spite of her difficult position. Relieved that she had cum, I followed quickly dumping load after load of slick white semen deep into her bowel. I collapsed onto her as our sweat pooled between her breasts and in her navel. Hosi's reaction—one word—“Awesome!”We barely had the strength to move—OK, I barely had the strength to move—so Hosi pulled me back to the shower. We washed each other and tried to dry ourselves with the thin hotel towels. We fell into the bed naked and pulled the blanket over us as we fell asleep quickly in spite of the grunts and groans coming through the walls and ceiling. The last thing I heard was, “We must definitely do that again.” Then she kissed me and I was gone.I had left a request for a wake-up call at 6:00. It took my best efforts in Portuguese to ensure that the staff knew I was talking about “P.M.” not “A.M.” I had them call all of our rooms around 7:30 and it was a good decision. As expected the Amazons were fresh as daisies; the men looked like…well, happy, but beaten up. Wait until tomorrow morning. I was thrilled at the men's arrival. As the Queen's consort I was pretty much taken out of circulation. How would it look for the Queen's mate to be hunting up pussy in the village? I did as instructed by Aleppa, but I knew Hosi hated when I had sex with another woman even though she knew it was necessary to increase the size of the tribe. Now with five—no, six—new men I would be free to stay at home where I much preferred to be.I took Hosi shopping while the men and their new friends “rested.” We went to every general store in the city and we bought every frying pan, griddle, and skillet we could get our hands on. These would do until we were able to make our own from cast iron. Sean was an amateur smith and he knew more about making things from iron than anyone I knew. I'd get him straight to work as soon as we reached the village. The only problem was that a typical work day was only four to five hours. The rest of the time would be taken up by warrior training and sex. With the six new men there would now be nine to service almost 450 ripe and eager women. Even the Elders were none too old—barely in their forties and I knew from personal experience that they all wanted to be impregnated, too.Hosi and I could barely stifle a laugh when we saw the men the following morning. Even Harry and his brother had managed to cum twice each in the afternoon and another two times after dinner; the others even more. The Amazons carried the luggage; the men were lucky they could carry themselves. We loaded the boats as evenly as we could and cast off. We ran upriver at about thirty miles an hour, substantially below our normal cruising speed due to the heavy loads. I doubted we'd had more of a load since our first trip almost two years ago.En route I could see Hosi speaking in earnest with Tama, the Amazon who had volunteered to take on Harry and his brother Gene; they had fallen asleep on their seats. I heard the story once we were home and in bed. There are definitely no secrets in the village. All the women talked together and their newly found sex lives was the number one topic. I once heard a conversation about an hour-long sexual liaison that had lasted for more than three hours. As a result even the most inexperienced Amazon probably knew more about fucking and sucking than the average male from so-called civilization. Tama led the men into the room, depositing their luggage on the floor. She had never been in a hotel, but had, of course heard all about them from Hosi and other friends who had come to town with us. She turned to face them and began to strip, “I am so glad to be able to take this off. I have never covered my body before, but Queen Hosi said there would be trouble if we didn't.” She dropped her skirt and removed her thong. In seconds she was completely naked while Harry and Gene stood there frozen, taking in her beauty. Tama moved to them and began to remove their clothing. They were both hard as rocks, their erections bouncing and pulsing with excitement. “I have never done this, but I have learned a lot from my friends. There must be some way I can take care of both of you.”Finally, Harry spoke. He was nervous which would have been a surprise to anyone who only knew the joking wise-cracking Harry. “I think you could use your mouth and your pussy…your vagina at the same time. Then, maybe later we could switch…if that's OK with you.”“Yes, I am very willing. Let us use the bed. Should I lie down or what?” They sat Tama on the bed between them, taking turns kissing and fondling her large firm breasts. Tama took each man's organ into her hands, rubbing and caressing each penis and running her hands down to cup their balls.“Wow,” Harry whispered, “Are you sure you've never done this? You're awfully good.”“Yeah,” Gene chimed in, “you're doing everything right, but I have a confession—I've never done it either. That's why I wanted to come here.” Tama turned to him and kissed him passionately, her tongue finding its way into his mouth. She leaned over and licked his cock exactly as she had heard from her friends. She loved the feeling of power it gave her. She had the feeling that doing this could turn the strongest man to jelly. She enjoyed licking around his helmet and, on impulse, took him deep into her mouth. He reacted exactly as her friends had said he would; she really liked this small man with the big penis.Gene climbed onto the bed, pulling Tama with him. Harry positioned her on her hands and knees near the edge of the bed. He found her pussy flooded with her musky juice. He slid his cock, only a fraction smaller than Gene's into her easily as Tama leaned forward to continue sucking Gene's big cock. Both men were tired from their journey, but they were so excited that they came quickly. Harry fell onto the bed exhausted, but Gene got up, flipped Tama over onto her back and put his mouth to her tunnel. Gene had been, and technically still was, a virgin but he'd seen plenty of porn. He was tentative at first, but within a minute he attacked her pussy energetically, paying special attention to her hard hot clit. Tama began to shudder; the shudders turned into shakes and eventually to a massive spasm which shook her entire body. “Thank you, Gene that was wonderful.” Gene nodded and smiled then he climbed onto the bed next to Tama. They kissed and held each other while Harry slept.Later they reversed and Gene's virginity was no more. Tama loved the way his cock filled her. She wondered what it would feel like in her ass. She'd heard others talking about it, but couldn't imagine how it would work. She resolved to speak with her Queen in the morning.It was late afternoon when we reached the falls. As Queen, Hosi went first up the rope. Once she had reached the top she quickly organized a team to help. I recognized our cooks and gave them the best of the skillets. The rest went to the Elders, the other men, and the palace guards. I had spoken at length with Sean on the trip. He had several ideas as to other cooking implements we could make.This might have seemed a trifle, but feeding the tribe was one of the Queen's primary responsibilities. We already had almost three hundred chickens in a huge coop well below the village where any run-off from rain would not contaminate our water supply. In another six months we'd be able to eat chicken as well as the eggs. The other responsibilities included maintaining the housing and settling disputes, and of course, defending the tribe. Having spent most of my time in our little house with Hosi I had been shielded from most of this, but now I could see how frustrating all this work could be. I had to help her and the best way was always to fuck her until she dropped. My problem was that she had much more endurance than I could ever hope for. Not only was she a woman—she was an Amazon—strong and tougher than nails.We fell into a pattern, much like in our pre-Queen days. We made love every morning before rising from bed, again after lunch when possible and again in the evening before we retired. Fortunately, for me Hosi was already pregnant and was told by Dennis to curtail actual intercourse. Now we used our mouths and hands on each other. When Hosi was seven months along I had to go to the city; we were in desperate need of some supplies, especially seed for the spring planting. This was the only time we had been separated since my initial return from the U.S. What I saw going down river was terrifying. I rushed back to the valley and called into conference all the men, the military leaders, and my Queen.I explained what I had seen—massive deforestation—on both sides of the Amazon roughly one hundred miles from the valley. There had been no sign of it just a month ago. I explained my concerns and listed what I saw as solutions. In the end it was Hosi's decision and hers alone. She took almost no time to decide, “I trust you completely, David. Do what you think best. Just keep me informed.” I promised her I would and then I did something I dreaded—I told her I would have to be away from her for several days. “Just be ready to take care of me when you get back,” she replied and then she gave me a wonderful kiss. I gathered Gene and we left immediately.Gene and I went right to the boat. We didn't wait to pack or say good-bye. Gene had proven very popular with the Amazons. First of all, he was relatively short and light weight. The women loved to pick him up and carry him around the valley; he kind of liked it, too. Despite his short stature there was nothing short about his cock. I had, of course, seen him in the toilets and the baths. The toilets! This was the one thing the men had the hardest time adjusting to. Few had yet to fully accept doing their business in front of a bunch of beautiful women. I practically laughed myself off the seat the first time one of the Amazons had offered Sean some of the wide leaves we used to wipe with. Sean, befitting his Irish heritage, had fair skin and red hair. This was the first, but not the last, time his face perfectly matched his hair. Another occurred when one of the Amazons actually offered to wipe his dirty butt.Gene had the largest cock of any of the men, including me. Several times Hosi had teased me, suggesting that she should have waited. I pretended to pout and we all had a great laugh over it. Now I needed Gene's legal expertise—badly.Our first stop was the American Consulate. We met with the consul who, greatly to his diplomatic credit, didn't blink an eye when I made my request. He asked us why and we explained. He excused himself and returned to us about twenty minutes later. “What you have requested will be in the next diplomatic pouch. The Secretary told me the ‘materials' would be a gift—thanks for a job well done. If you return Thursday afternoon I'll have everything ready.” We thanked him and left.Our next stop was at the local government office where we politely requested to see the person in charge. We wore our crosses and pretended that we were representing our church. “Senhor,” I began, “our church is very concerned about the deforestation we have seen. We would like to purchase a large tract of land well upriver to set aside as a preserve—no logging, no hunting, nothing. This way there will always be some wilderness in the future. There are many animals that will be forced into extinction if no action is taken.”“How much would you think about buying?”“We were thinking about 100 square miles of the most remote portion of the jungle, maybe more if the price was right. I suggest we establish some boundaries using our GPS devices. We could return say…Thursday for an answer. Of course we would expect a formal contract and deed from the government in return.”“How much were you thinking of spending, Senhor?”“We could go as high as ten million US dollars. We would have to liquidate some investments, but that should take only a few weeks. Will you please make inquiries of the appropriate parties? Do you think we could have an answer by Thursday next?” The official assured us that he could.Gene and I returned to the boat. “Was it wise to give him the amount so soon? I think we could have bargained.”“You're probably right, but did you see the greed in his eyes? He'll take a cut and his boss will take a cut, and so on and so forth. Some money may actually make it to the public coffers, but that's not my concern. I'll want you to check the contract terms. I can read it for you easily enough, but I'll get lost in those technical legal terms. Let's find a phone. I need to call my financial advisor.”Part of the plan was that I would liquidate my holdings for the purchase. The others would fund any future needs from theirs. I thought I would still have about a million left when we were done; the other men's assets came to just over seven million and that would be plenty for our needs. We stayed overnight and returned to the valley the following day.As a geologist/explorer for Al-Cor I often had to make measurements of large tracts of land. The valley from side to side—mountain top to mountain top—was approximately 1.75 miles. The length I estimated at seven miles, making the total area about twelve and a quarter square miles. If I centered the valley in the tract we should be able to have a minimum of four miles as a buffer for the valley. I organized a mapping party including Kevin and Scott along with their women. We trekked into the jungle for five days, returning with all the measurements we would need.I knew that the government would try to cheat us, but I planned to cheat them back, giving them dimensions for more than 125 square miles, not 100. I doubted they thought the “simple missionaries” would ever think about cheating them.Gene and I headed downriver on Wednesday. We met with the official who showed us their proposed contract. Gene made several key changes, including the issue of mineral rights. We needed the mineral rights; without them any group could invade our territory in search of gold, silver, gems, oil, uranium, or a hundred other reasons and it would be legal if not changed in the contract.We went to the bank where I was pleased to see that my investments had been deposited. I phoned our government contact and informed him we were ready. I could hear the greed in his voice. I would use it to advantage in the weeks to come.Our next stop was the Consulate. The Consul had our boxes ready—two crates of 9mm semi-automatic rifles and two crates of ammunition. This was a critical part of the plan. We could use the Amazon warriors and their bows, but the noise of the rifles would help scare off any loggers who might stray into our land. I asked if the Marines could guard the boxes while we made one more stop. I ordered hundreds of signs—POSTED, PRIVATE PROPERTY, TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT, BOCETA LAND COMPANY. We were ready.The deal was consummated two weeks later. As I anticipated, the official paid no attention whatsoever to the longitudes and latitudes I entered into the contract—all he could see were the dollar signs. We actually wound up with more than 140 square miles, giving us an even greater buffer than I had hoped. Of course, one of their conditions was that the payment be in cash. We signed the contract, obtained the deed, and demanded a receipt—just in case. That receipt could be used to blackmail the official, if necessary.I was bone weary when I dragged myself into the palace. It was done—we officially owned the land in the valley and roughly four miles on all sides. The signs had been posted and the men had all practiced with the rifles. Getting them from the consulate was critical. There was absolutely no way I could ever explain to the local authorities why a group of peaceful missionaries might need twenty high powered rifles and five hundred thousand rounds of ammunition. We'd had patrols in the past; now we had more. Each of the men went on patrol with his women—all except me. By the time we set up the patrols Hosi was almost ready to give birth.I practically crawled into our quarters. Hosi would have laughed, but she knew that the tribe's survival was no laughing matter. She undressed me and half-carried me to the baths. I never knew that water could feel so good. She washed me, at least she started to, but several tribeswomen thought it undignified for the Queen to do such menial work. They took over and as they did I wondered what they would think if they ever saw us in bed. Not surprisingly, there were few secrets in the tribe—it was small in numbers and everyone lived in close proximity. The guards had seen us fucking and sucking many times and I was sure that they'd told their friends; like I said—no secrets!They helped me back to the palace and I thought that I'd be able to finally get some sleep. That's when Hosi showed me the little amphora of oil—what a time to decide she wanted her butt fucked! Mercifully, she did almost all the work. Hosi placed me on our bed, oiled my cock, and lubed her asshole. Then she slowly dropped onto me. “Damn, you're beautiful,” I told her.“No, I'm not. I'm pregnant and fat. Just look at my big belly.”“I am…that's what I think is so beautiful. The rest of you is even better.” That brought a smile to her face. She rose up slowly and proceeded to fuck herself. I fingered her cunt and played with her clit. I brought my fingers to my mouth, but Hosi ambushed me, pulling them to hers. I had to go back for another sample before I was permitted to taste my gorgeous wife. Hosi always tasted sweet and musky, no matter that it was after her warrior training or an hour at the baths. I had eaten a few pussies in my day, but never one as tasty or receptive as hers. Of course, the fact that I was madly in love with her made no difference whatsoever. Yeah, right!I saw that Hosi was getting really excited. Her nerve endings must have been firing non-stop. The look in her eyes told me she was going crazy with her lust. I grabbed her clit, twisting it wildly as I plunged my fingers in and out of her cunt. Dennis had told us it would be OK so long as I didn't go deep. I kept my fingers at just the right depth to stimulate her G-spot. Her immediate reaction was to shake—just a bit at first—but increasing with every passing second. I was at it for almost a minute when she leaned back, held her position, and arched forward violently as her orgasm claimed control over her body. She seemed dazed when she fell onto my chest. We were both soaked…and exhausted. Eventually, we were able to rise. I led her to the pool for a relaxing swim. We floated together for almost thirty minutes under the moonlight. I could look up and see the stars shining brilliantly overhead. Funny—I had rarely noticed the heavens when I had been working. Then they were nothing more than an opportunity to determine our location. Tonight the skies were beautiful—breathtaking, actually.Five days later it was Scott's turn to patrol. I was relaxing in our “swimming pool” with Hosi and Kela. Hosi had finally learned to float and was making reasonable progress at actually swimming. I didn't tell her, but I thought she'd have to start from scratch once she had delivered our child. That was only a few weeks away at most. I was bouncing Kela and having a great time when I heard the alarm.Rini had run all the way to the village, probably more than five miles to tell Queen Hosi that intruders had been found trespassing. I told her I would come. I returned home to dress and retrieve my rifle. Fifteen minutes later Rini and I left along with and additional fifteen armed warriors. I was running all out; they were merely trotting. It was more than hour later that we caught up with the patrol. We huddled quickly while I told them of my plan. The Amazons spread out, but remained concealed awaiting my signal. I flanked the logging party, moving off to their right. I stepped out, rifle at the ready when I thought the time was right. “Alto!” (Stop!) I shouted. There were six of them, all armed.“What'd you say?” I assumed it was the leader.“Well, at least you speak English. That'll make things easier. You are trespassing on private property. There are signs all over. I could kill you and there's nothing could be done about it.”“I got to hand it to you—you got balls. There's only one of you and there's six of us. Seems to me, if there's any killin' to be done….”“Oh, I assure you…I am not alone, but don't take my word for it. See this tree? Watch what happens when I count to three. One…two…three!” In that instant more than twenty arrows flew through the air, all embedding themselves deep into the trunk. “Now, I'll take your weapons and you can turn around and get out of our property. Or, you can die right here…right now.” They dropped their weapons and turned around. I followed--the Amazons right behind me--to the boundary of our property. “I don't suppose I have to tell you not to come back. We won't be so forgiving the next time. We'll shoot first. You saw what kind of marksmanship our archers have. They never miss.”I left them at the boundary of the property. I returned their weapons and watched as they boarded some beat up work boats and took off downstream. The Amazons and Scott came out of the underbrush as soon as they were out of sight. We all had a good laugh. We walked back to the valley in high spirits. I was pretty sure the word would get around quickly. God knows there was plenty of other virgin land they could rape.I met with Hosi in the palace. When she saw the smile on my face she knew all had worked out well. We had a light lunch and readied ourselves for our meeting with the men. I knew that Scott, Kevin and Dennis had made a great transition to the valley. We had all been there almost two years and were all close friends and/or relatives. Hosi and I were concerned about our new recruits.We sat in the dining hall where Hosi ordered some cool juice. We drank and relaxed until Hosi spoke, “I want to be sure you are doing well here in our valley. Having been to your country I know that there is a huge adjustment. So, please tell me, how are you doing?”One by one the men all told how they had been welcomed by the members of the tribe. They enjoyed all the sex they were having and the openness of the women. Several exclaimed that they had never experienced so many women with so little jealousy of each other. To a man they admitted having trouble with the communal toilets, but they were dealing with it. Then we got to Gene. You'd think a lawyer would be pretty glib, but he could be incredibly shy. Eventually we got him to speak, “Could we have…uh…uh…oh, jeez…Tama come in?”“Do you know where she is, Gene?”“Yes…my Queen, she's outside…she's waiting for me.” Hosi summoned a guard and sent her for Tama. Gene's disposition changed dramatically when she entered the room. He rose grinning and went to her. They kissed and embraced, holding hands when they returned to his seat. Tama sat, pulling Gene onto her lap. She had her arm around his waist.“My Queen, “Tama began, “Gene and I really like each other. He is worried because I am so much bigger and stronger, but he also knows that I would never harm him. Just the opposite; I want to take care of him. I would like to have Gene live with me. I know I will have to share him with many others just as you had to share David, but I know he will always return to me.”Is this what you want, Gene? You and Tama seem to get along well. I am pleased to see you happy and smiling now that she is here with you.”“Yes…Hosi…I mean…Queen Hosi…I know it looks funny. I'm so small and she's so tall, but we do love each other and we want to be together. If it's OK with you, that is.”“Relax, Gene—it is OK with me. Scott and Dennis, and, of course, David all live with tribeswomen. David and I are legally married. I'm sure you've noticed our rings. I would be pleased if all of you had regular women to take care of you. Just remember something that David told me when we first began making love. He told me that he would give the others his seed, but he would give me his soul. I think it will be the same with you. Do you agree?”“Oh, yes, my Queen. I give everything I am to Tama; the others are a duty—a responsibility I have to the tribe.”“Yes, my Queen,” Tama added, “I suspect I am much like you. I don't like Gene having sex with the others, but it is necessary. I love my sisters and my tribe.”“Well said, both of you. I gladly give my blessing to you. I will want to know how you are doing together in another month. If all goes well I will declare you to be mates.” The elation in Tama's and Gene's faces said it all. They hugged each other and kissed passionately, oblivious to their surroundings.Finally, it was Sean's turn. “My Queen, you know that I have been working in the forges. Several of the tribeswomen have joined me as assistants. It works out well. The processes are time consuming and there is nothing to do….” Hosi began to laugh and the rest of us soon joined in. Sean continued, “ well, what I meant to say was that there was nothing to do, but now that I have my assistants….” We all just laughed even louder until Sean got up and left. He returned a minute later with two red-faced women who were carrying something under a cloth.Sean had them put the object on the table and removed the cloth. Underneath was a smooth cast iron griddle. “We made this from some of the iron we mined. When David told me about the problem cooking eggs here in the palace I realized that the same problem existed in all the houses. We built this to fit into all the fireplaces in the village. We already have fifty that we made using the mold my assistants and I made…during those few times we weren't making love. He pulled the two closer and placed his arms around their waists.“My Queen, we also have a request. The three of us would like to live together.” The women grinned wildly and leaned up to kiss his cheeks. “Please, my Queen,” they said simultaneously.“You also have my blessing. I am thrilled to see how quickly you are making the transition. More importantly each of you has volunteered some service, other than making love to the tribeswomen. That makes you a part of us. You are outsiders no longer.” She was just about to sit when she suffered a convulsion and her water broke.I rushed to her side and held her with love. I helped my wife, my love, to the hospital. Tama had run ahead with Gene in her arms. Dennis was ready for us. He led Hosi to a bed; Leba already had a pot of water on the fire. There were loads of clean sheets and towels. Three hours later I was a father again. Hosi and I had a strong baby boy.One of the guards brought Kela. I held her in my arms while Hosi held our son. “Look, Kela you have a little brother, someone for all of us to love. I know you'll help take good care of him, won't you?”“Yes, Dada…love baby.” I set her down and watched proudly as she gave her brother a tender kiss. I sat next to Hosi and wiped the sweat from her face. I leaned down and kissed her. “I love you. I'll always love you.” Hosi looked up with those sparkling green eyes, exhausted from her ordeal. She didn't have to speak. I knew she'd love me forever.Sean and I walked slowly back from the forges. We'd spent the entire day working with iron, making arrowheads and spear points. All we had to do now was attach them to the wooden shafts. He had his arms around his assistants—they'd played with each other all the way home, kissing and touching, expressing their love for each other. We had begun the walk together, but he had a few more distractions than I did and now he was more than a hundred feet behind me. I was just about to exit the woods when I noticed something I thought was funny—not “ha ha” funny—“wrong” funny. I turned to Sean holding up my left hand to say “stop” and my right hand to my lips for quiet.“What's wrong, David?” It was Misa, one of the assistant/live-in lovers.I led them back into the tall grass. I whispered, “Take a look. Then tell me what's wrong.” The women knelt forward for not more than ten seconds before returning. “Where is everyone?”“My question, exactly. We need to find out what's going on. Can we sneak up on the village?”“We can,” she replied, “but it would be best if you stay here. Please do not be insulted, but you are clumsy in the woods.” She turned and both women melted away as silently as ghosts. They returned about a half hour later. “We could not see any of the tribeswomen, but we did see several men carrying funny rifles.” When I asked further I determined they were talking about AK-47's. This was obviously a huge problem—one that would require care and planning. The four of us returned hurriedly to the forges. We decided to make as many arrows and spears as we had heads for. The women had their bows and could do a lot of damage if they had to. They weren't in Hosi's class, but they were no slouches either.The good thing about the forges was that few of the tribe and even fewer of the men knew their location. They were deep in the mountains hidden in a small glen. Only the smoke would give away the location, and even then only when there was little wind—an extremely rare event. We reached there just as the sun was setting. We made several hundred arrows by the light of the glowing embers and more than fifty spears, connecting the iron heads to the shafts with thin, but strong plant fibers and sealing with a thin layer of beeswax. We carried all our weapons down the path, hiding them in the bushes and weeds.I also carried a long rope, woven from a number of strong vines. It was almost fifty feet long. Finally, I brought two short pieces of iron bar, each about two feet long—leftovers from the manufacture of the spear heads. We reviewed my plan as we stole barefooted through the dark jungle illuminated only by the cloud-covered quarter moon. We snuck along the bank of the river until we were near the palace. That's when we first noticed a guard pacing around the building. I took note of the time. He made one transit on an average of seventy-five seconds. We waited until he was around the corner before running to the side of the building. The women—stronger than either of us—lifted me by my waist until they each had a foot in their hands. One colossal boost lifted me onto the thatched roof. I used my iron bars to dig into the thatch and hold myself in place as they ran back into hiding.They were there less than ten seconds when the guard turned the corner. I scrunched down into the thatch, my khaki clothing blending in well with my surroundings. He had turned the far corner again before I began making my way across the roof. Stopping at the skylight in our bedroom, I quickly tied the rope to one of the beams and lowered myself slowly to the floor. I tiptoed to Hosi's bed and was just about to place my hand over her mouth when she whispered, “I knew you'd come. Be careful—there's a guard outside the door.” I cut the rope holding her hands behind her back and kissed her gently.“What happened,” I whispered back, “How'd they get past the patrol?”“It was Jacob. He led them into a trap—an ambush. They were outnumbered and caught completely by surprise.” Surprisingly, what Hosi had said made a lot of sense. Jacob had practically begged to accompany me on the last trip to the city. I saw him on a pay phone when I exited one of the stores. He told me he wanted to let his mother know he was OK. Now he had betrayed all of us.“Where are all the tribeswomen and the men?”“Most are tied up in the throne room, others in the dining hall and the hospital. I think the men are in our old house. All are under guard. They could probably escape or beat the guards but they won't because they know that I'll be killed first if they do.”“Well, I think we need to do something about that, don't you?” I showed her the iron bars as I moved behind the doors. When I was ready she screamed. The door flew open and two heavily armed guards ran into the room. I smashed a bar across the rear guard's head and the other's on the backswing. To make sure I hit each of them again and again until I was sure they were dead. I dragged them to a corner as Hosi took their weapons and ammunition. I closed the door and we climbed back to the roof.We sidled carefully to our children's room. I lowered Hosi to the floor. I followed and she took her place behind the door. I woke Kela and whispered to her—this was her chance to be a warrior. She nodded and I joined Hosi. When I signaled Kela she screamed “Mama…Mama.” The guard opened the door, but did not enter. Kela screamed again and he took two steps into the room. They were the last steps he'd ever take. Hosi took out her frustrations on his skull, dropping him in an instant. We closed the door and talked for a moment, planning ahead. Hosi thought she had seen between twelve and fifteen attackers. Three were already down and I was sure we could take down the guard outside with ease. Hosi climbed to the roof and waved to Sean. She pantomimed shooting a bow. The next time the guard walked past he was struck fatally with two arrows, fired from the nearby shadows by Sean's assistants. They dragged the body away as Hosi dropped the rope for them. A minute later there were five of us in the children's room. Hosi took one of the bows and a handful of arrows. One of the assistants had the other bow, the other several spears. I had an AK-47, but I was praying I wouldn't have to use it. Silent weapons would be much more effective now.We tiptoed down the hallway toward the dining hall. It was smaller than the throne room so it figured there would be fewer guards. My watch showed the time at 3:47. The hallways were dark. We couldn't be seen when we peeked around the corner. There were several lanterns lit in the hall. We could see the tribeswomen seated on the floor, their hands tied behind their backs. There were three guards spread out in the hall although two of them looked to be half asleep. We pulled back for Hosi's orders.“Misa, you take the closest guard. He's only about ten yards away. Wait for my first shot. I'll take the one who's awake first then I'll take the other while you take your shot.” She strung one arrow, as did Misa; Hosi placed another in my hand, signaling that I was to stay behind her. She sent Misa to the other side of the hall where she'd have a clear shot. Hosi leaned against the wall as she drew the bowstring back. She nodded to Misa who nodded, showing she, too, was ready.Hosi released her shot. The only sign was a slight “woosh” through the air. A second later a second “woosh” as Misa released her shot, almost at the same instant as Hosi's second. All three guards were dead in less than two seconds. The women looked up, but did not speak. They knew the importance of remaining silent. They were cut free in minutes. One went to retrieve Sean and our children. We all exited through the rear doors, melting into the jungle.We now had almost two hundred warriors, but only a handful of weapons. Our next stop was the hospital. We snuck up to the building, setting another ambush. Sometimes the simplest tactics are the most effective, and this was one of those times. Ten warriors with spears went to the rear. Hosi and several others went to the front and sides where there were lots of windows. There were two guards inside along with perhaps a hundred Amazons. Hosi pulled back to instruct her troops. Again, it was the archers who were in the forefront with the spear carriers in reserve. Hosi identified the targets and nocked her arrow in the string. She once again took the farther target, leaving the closer one to her lesser companion. This time they shot simultaneously and again their aim was true. The warriors were released and we moved on to the next targets. The only sounds had been the startled “Ugghs” as the arrows struck home, shattering each man's heart and the dropping of their weapons to the floor.

Florida's most haunted home has seen more than its fair share of tragedies. Inside the walls of the May-Stringer House have been sickness and suffering, untimely deaths of spouses, the enslavement of more than 50 people, and the tragic loss of children who died so young they barely even knew their parents. Some say the spirit of a little girl wanders the house to this day, looking for the mother who died bringing her into the world.

 If you hang out with The Flood much, it seems like everything we do is carefully planned …. right…. but actually, accident and happenstance are a couple of our good friends. For instance, earlier this week we got together to plan for our show tonight at Sal's Speakeasy. Now, as you'll hear in this track, between songs Charlie starts singing a bit of this old 1920s hokum song. Immediately, Randy jumps in with some cool harmony. Then Sam brightens it up with his harmonica and Danny puts a bow on the whole thing with a cookie' guitar part and just like that the tune has inserted itself into the set list.

It was April 1927 when a pair of blues singers from Mississippi named Little Harvey Hull and Long Cleve Reed walked into a Chicago studio to record the first of a half dozen tunes they'd leave there over the next few weeks.Joining them for the session was guitarist Sunny Wilson, whose song "Hey! Lawdy Mama/France Blues" was among their first. The trio was billed on the label as “The Down Home Boys” when the disc was released the following month by Black Patti Records, a new short-lived company created by a fascinating historical character named J. Mayo “Ink” Williams.Ink WilliamsA Brown University graduate, Ink Williams is the only man we know of who was inducted into both the National Football Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame. Besides being one of the first African American pro-football players (as part of a Chicago team in the first season of the NFL), Williams also is remembered as an important recording industry pioneer.Starting his career producing for the fledgling Paramount Records, Williams earned his nickname because of his persuasive way of inking contracts with a wide range of original talent. Over the years, he was to work with Blind Lemon Jefferson and Ma Rainey, with Tampa Red and Georgia Tom, with Blind Blake and Ida Cox (not to mention Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Mahalia Jackson, Alberta Hunter, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Roosevelt Sykes, Sleepy John Estes and so many more). In 1924, Williams also earned an early entry in blues annals by producing the legendary Papa Charlie Jackson's “Lawdy, Lawdy Blues,” the first successful blues record made by an African American man.In 1927, Williams left Paramount to go out on his own by starting Black Patti Records, named after the opera singer Matilda Sissieretta Joyner Jones, who was called “Black Patti” because some thought she resembled the Italian opera singer Adelina Patti. While Williams' label lasted only seven months, it produced 55 records in a variety of styles, including blues, jazz and spirituals, as well as hell-fire sermons by “straining preachers” and comedy routines and popular ditties from vaudeville stars. When the enterprise was not immediately profitable, Williams moved on to greener pastures by the end of 1927, but not before discovering a few stand-out blues acts that had moved to Chicago from the South as part of “The Great Migration.”Among his finds in those early days was The Down Home Boys, whose two-guitar accompaniment was a blend of parlor guitar and ragtime. The trio sang blues, but much of its repertoire was from the turn of the century — before blues had become a dominant musical genre — and included ballads and medicine show material.Back to the SongSunny Wilson's “Hey! Mama” tune didn't have the same cachet of some of the group's other numbers — notably the guys' “Original Stack O'Lee Blues,” which probably was a response to Ma Rainey's version of the number, which had the young Louis Armstrong on cornet — but it did have a long shelf life. For instance, right after its Black Patti debut, it was brought out as "France Blues" on Gennett (credited to "Sunny Boy & His Pals") and again on Champion by "The Original Louisiana Entertainers.”Then 40 years later, the song was reborn in the folk revival of the 1960s. The Flood learned the song from the January 1964 album recorded by Stefan Grossman and Peter Siegel's Even Dozen Jug Band. This seminal ‘60s group also featured John Sebastian, Steve Katz, David Grisman and Maria Muldaur, all friends who got to know each other during legendary jam sessions in New York's Washington Square Park.Later that same year, the song made another notable folk revival appearance, this time performed by Mark Spoelstra (with Fritz Richmond on washtub bass and Doug Pomeroy on washboard and kazoo) on a landmark Elektra album called The Blues Project. Our Take on the TuneIf you hang out much with The Flood, it seems like everything we do is carefully planned …. uh, right… but actually, accident and happenstance are a couple of our good friends. Earlier this week, for example, we got together to plan for our show tonight at Sal's Speakeasy. As you'll hear in this track, between songs Charlie starts singing a bit of this old 1920s song. Immediately, Randy jumps in with some great harmony. Then Sam brightens it up with his harmonica and Danny puts a bow on the whole thing with a cookin' guitar part. And just like that the tune has inserted itself into the set list. All that's missing now is you. Come on down to Sal's Italian Eatery & Speakeasy tonight, 1624 Carter Avenue in beautiful downtown Ashland, Ky., and we'll getting you singing along on that hey-lawdy-mama-mama / hey-lawdy-papa-papa part! We play from 6 to 9. Come on out and party with us. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit 1937flood.substack.com

First signs something was wrong  Erika and Steve first noticed something was different with their son Blaise when he was 18 months old. Erika recalled, “He went to daycare and we would go in and notice that all the kids are playing in one area and he's over to an area by himself.  He always did individual play.” That wasn't the only thing she noticed.  She shared that one of the most telling signs that something was wrong was when she dropped Blaise off at daycare.  The other children would cry for their moms with intention and Blaise would just cry.  “He wouldn't cry for me, he wouldn't cry Mama Mama.” Erika recalled.  Steve noticed Blaise was delayed in speech and was missing developmental milestones. He noticed  a few more things which he shared saying, “Some of the behaviors, he would get fixated on say ipad or you know one particular thing and then he would stay on it. He also made these peculiar noises like all day long.”   After searching on google, Steven thought that Blaise had some of the same signs and symptoms of someone who has Autism.   Getting an ASD diagnosis Most doctors will not give an autism diagnosis at 18 months.  Erika and Steven were able to get connected with a company that helped Blaise get early intervention services as well as getting into a developmental preschool. After Blaise attended the preschool for a little bit, Erika and Steven worked with another company to get a formal diagnosis when Blaise was 2.5 years old.  Being labeled as ASD was the fear Erika shared an interesting perspective about receiving her son's diagnosis.  By the time he was formally diagnosed she shared that her and Steven had already accepted the fact Blaise was different and had autism.  Erika was afraid of what a formal diagnosis would mean for the care Blaise would receive.  She shared, “My biggest fear, I didn't want to get a diagnosis, even though we believed he had autism because in my mind I didn't want them to stick him in a box.” She continued, “Once he was labeled then that's all the care he's going to get. He was only going to get autism care and an autism teacher…and it's a bigger world than that and I wanted him to have all the exposure that he could have.” To help ensure Blaise wasn't put in a box, Erika started working at the school Blaise was enrolled in.  She gave a great example of how she has helped keep Blaise progressing.  She shared, “Because he has autism and because he has sensory issues..they put headphones on him, because that's what he needs.  When we have assemblies, I go in the assemblies and I take the headphones off…let's see if he can push through it. Don't just give it to him because he has autism.”   Steve shared that he feels like when some parents have a diagnosis, they automatically put up a glass ceiling of what their child is capable of. Not even trying things because of the child's label.  “We wanted to treat him as regular as possible, give him the same experiences as regular children.” Loving your child for who they are Regardless of his disability, Steve said that he and Erika have loved, supported, and accepted Blaise for who he is.  He said, “Don't give up, once you get that diagnosis, it's not a death sentence.  Just focus on the early intervention, focus on the things that you can control and then eventually things turn out ok.”  Erika and Steve both shared their joys of having Blaise as a son, Erika shared, “Just when he meets those little milestones…he had to work four times harder to do something that comes naturally to someone else.” Steve shared his joy saying, “I remember the first time he walked up to me with no prompts or anything and said, “Daddy I love you.” He looked me dead in the eye, and I was like “wow”.”  Being able to see Blaise work towards a goal and accomplish it has been very rewarding for both Erika and Steve.

Was durfte in mein Leben kommen? Welche neuen Einsichten habe ich bekommen? Unglaubliche 63 Erkenntnisse darf ich in dieser Episode mit dir teilen. Ich erzähle in dieser Folge - warum ich vermutlich keine Mama-Mama geworden wäre, - weshalb das mächtige Verlangen ein Kind zu bekommen mich überrascht hat, - das Finden meiner spirituellen Seite mich sehr freut und - dass Tabu-Themen in die Welt zu bringen, die Welt empathischer macht.

Hello, mga bbs! Welcome to the first-ever episode of D'Bish, D'Baks, and D'Besh! This is the podcast of three siblings born in (relatively) different generations, talking about their various experiences over shared core values. Today being Mother's Day, we wanted our first topic to be about our experiences growing up with a Filipino mom. We talk about the varying levels of pressure we had to deal with, maybe even the frustrations we felt at that time, and now realizing how Mama was just always trying to show us how much she loves us, even if it was hard to understand at first. Losing her in 2007, our lives changed drastically, and we are now left wondering if she is proud of the people we have become now, being at the different points in life the three of us are in. Hopefully, this episode will make you guys appreciate your moms more, because they're obviously the real MVPs. Hug your moms a little bit tighter for us today, and we hope that in your own way, you get to make them proud too. :) To all the moms out there, Happy Mother's Day!

Kinder sind oft unfreiwillig komisch: wenn sie ihre ersten Schritte machen und wie schlafwandelnde Zombies aussehen, wenn sie mit Karottenbrei im Mund niesen müssen oder sich ein Sprichwort falsch merken („Das Leben ist kein Kinderschlecken”). Irgendwann kommt dann der Tag, an dem sie ihren ersten Witz erzählen oder das erste Mal ironisch antworten (oder es zumindest glauben ;-)). Aber wie entwickelt sich eigentlich Humor bei unseren Kindern und wie können wir sie dabei unterstützen sich (und uns) nicht zu blamieren ;-)? Lasst uns drüber schnacken! Und wir reden mit Andrea, sie ist Mutter und hat ein Buch für Kinder und Eltern mit Kinderwitzen gemacht. Info zum Buch: Meine ersten Flachwitze. Ein Bilderbuch zur Förderung der Feinhumorik von Andrea Harmonika.

He is also a TEDx speaker and a part-time actor. Great to have you on the show, Caleb, how you doing?In your bio, it says that you are a 2019 Obama leader. Can you tell me a bit about what that means? Caleb Ndaka  1:48  Obama foundation runs a program called Africa leadership program in which they try to bring young African leaders together to have conversation today. Your support system for each other in order to create proactive and authentic leaders in Africa, because they do believe that the greatest gap we have in Africa is not about resources. It's about leadership. And so they believe invest in the young leaders so that they can build and change their communities. Barry Luijbregts  2:23  Right. That's incredible. Okay, so tell me a little bit more about yourself, like, where you from and how you got into software development. Caleb Ndaka  2:33  Great. Thank you for that question. I was born in North rift Kenya in a small slump called landers. And then soon after we moved to South Eastern Kenya, a small village called kV and that's where I grew up. I went to school there, up until I went to college when they got to come to the city of Nairobi. So generally Mama Mama village boy Who, by chance got into technology got into software development. Part of that story is between high school and college, I was out of school for four years. And the reason for that is because my parents could not afford my quality education. But then four years later, as more opportunity open to join one of the local University School of computer science and information technology, and I started with a certificate cause in it, then I proceeded to a diploma course in it, then eventually graduated with a bachelor's degree in it. And with that background, I was able to be introduced now to to software development and the passion to teach kids especially in rural areas, how they can learn about our not just to use technology, but to develop technology for themselves and for their communities. Barry Luijbregts  3:56  So that they are actually creators and can create things for other people as well. Caleb Ndaka  4:01  Yes, not just consumers, but also but also creators. But also, because I do believe change from within is a more sustainable change. And so having rural communities embracing technology for themselves, creating technology for themselves, is a dream that I hold very dear to my heart. And that's what I live for every day to see how can we, how can we equip them better to know how to use technology to address the most pressing issues in their communities? Barry Luijbregts  4:34  Right. And that's a very powerful thought, I think, as in to get the power from within and not be reliable. From all these other big companies from the United States and from Europe and all over the world, but to build your own strength, yes. Caleb Ndaka  4:49  change from within power from the from within is the most powerful energy employee they never gave to people. Barry Luijbregts  4:57  So random question, what is the internet It like over there. Oh, is it fast or is it limited? Caleb Ndaka  5:03  Oh great. Like I mentioned I come from Kenya and in the last five to 10 years Kenya as witnessed a very fast growing internet penetration. And so we can say like three quarters of the country you can get stable internet connection. And that is what we are leveraging on to create our program. So we have pretty good internet, it could get better back with what we have. We can also do some meaningful stuff. Barry Luijbregts  5:33  And is it expensive? Caleb Ndaka  5:36  According to the surveys which have been done in Africa, again, Kenya, we have the lowest rates of of accessing to the to the to the internet. But the thing also is the economic power for most people, is not that strong. So it is relatively cheap but Not very cheap to the majority of people and especially to the majority of people who live in rural communities whom we we solve, Barry Luijbregts  6:07  That can be a problem, I imagine. Yes. Okay, so Well, let's talk about the thing I wanted to talk with you about about kids comp camp. So I saw this online and I was very interested in how it got started and why you started it and how it actually works. Can you tell me a bit more about why you started and what it is? Caleb Ndaka  6:29  Yeah. So kids comp comp, is an initiative to help children in rural communities in Africa to catch up with a current digital driven society. And the way it began, it was a random idea. on a road trip. I was just about to graduate from the University and a few friends asked me if we could do a road trip and we said our boat we do that road trip with laptops in our bucks and go look for I don't know school in a village And to teach those kids out to use computers. That was in April of 2014. And so we did a rotary, we carried our laptops and we found a school in one of the rural counties in the in Kenya. The first class, we had 30 kids, but it is what shook us. Out of the 30 kids, only three kids, I'd seen a laptop before. And we were like, shocked. We thought like computers and access to technology is is a thing for everyone. Only that we realized we were only reserved from, from our band kind of setting. And so that was like, the glaring gaps that we saw, and we felt like we need to do more, we need to come back and do more and more, and 2014 to right now we've been able to train over 10,000 children, both here in Kenya and also in Rwanda. 90% of those kids, this was their first time to use computers, and 54% they were girls. Barry Luijbregts  8:08  Wow, that is amazing. And and what what kind of ages do you teach? What? How old are the kids? Caleb Ndaka  8:15  So we get between 8 years old to 18 years old. So, according to the Kenyan education system that is about primary school and high school, Barry Luijbregts  8:29  and do you then also teach adults? Caleb Ndaka  8:32  Um, yes, like I've mentioned, we started in 2014. So it's been almost five to six years. And one of the things that we realized, like three years into the program was that kids, especially in Africa, don't make decisions. The decision makers are parents and teachers, and therefore we thought, in order to make our program more sustainable, we need to involve the parents. We need to involve the teacher So apart from just the core business of train kids, we've started another supportive program to train their teachers and to train their parents so that they know the benefits. And also they have the the basics of becoming like a support system to this kids. So yes, we do have a program for children. And we also have a program for adult but especially adults around the kids that we're trying to reach out to where basically the parents and teachers, Barry Luijbregts  9:30  To get their buy in and to make them help the kids. It's a very clever, so can can every kids just join or how does it work? What What skills do kids and or adults need in order to participate in the competition Caleb Ndaka  9:46  so kids could come targets children and adults with no prior exposure to computers or technology, and therefore we start with them from ground zero. We don't require any scale Or an experience, what we just ask of them is that they need to be enthusiastic to learn. So no prior skills or knowledge is required, because we were trying to get our kids and parents who have not had access to computers or technology.  And so we begin with them from ground zero.  Barry Luijbregts  10:19  So you you completely start at the beginning as in this is a laptop. Caleb Ndaka  10:26  And that is a computer. This is a mouse This is are you right click this is click, we basically begin by bailing confidence just as I want any digital device.  Barry Luijbregts  10:38  That is amazing. And do most of the participants. Have they seen other devices like phones, for instance? Caleb Ndaka  10:46  Oh, well, they're the data that we have so far is at 90% of the 10,000 plus beneficiaries of the program. This was their first attempt to use their computers. But when it comes to access to mobile devices, As the number changes a bit, we can almost say like 40% of them actually have access to, to a feature phone. And maybe 30% 20% of us have access to a smartphone. So more people right now they have access to mobile devices, but computers still as cost resource in the rural communities in Kenya.  Barry Luijbregts  11:29  So it's really mobile first. Yeah. And then some, some kids will have have had access to the internet through mobile phones, I guess. The kids come in with no experience. They learn all this stuff from you, and what do they take away when they're done? What are the skills that they have? Caleb Ndaka  11:46  Great. That's a great question. So over time, we've been we've been trying to modify our curriculum to really meet the felt needs of these kids. And we've divided our curriculum into three big blocks. The first block is what to call get started and get started, like you've mentioned is trying to build confidence of this kid around to these machines I would do up in a computer how do you use the basics of that of that computer? How would you build clear audience around any device and the next big block is what to call get productive. Now that you know how to use our computer, how can you become more productive doing your your duties and in that time, also teach them how to access the internet, how to use productive programs like Microsoft Office, and other programs which they can use in their in their daily their daily lives. And then the last big block is what to call like, Get creative, which is a big block for us. And that's where we where we introduce them, introduce them now to Cody and just bring that whole notion of you do not To be a consumer of technology, you can be a creator of technology. Yeah. So those big blocks, it's our we we try to align our curriculum, get started, get productive and great creative. Barry Luijbregts  13:14  That's great, especially that you didn't end with the empowerment of you can do it yourself. You can just type in some text on the screen and some magic happens somewhere. And somebody can press a button and something Yes, Caleb Ndaka  13:27  for sure. For sure. One of the mentality that you've been trying to fight, especially in the rural communities that we work is that most people view technology as a concept of the West. Great. Most people think that technology is something which comes from elsewhere, and we just use it. So we are trained to change that and especially to this young kid as they grow up to take up their careers to choose up their studies to show them technology is just like a pen is a toy, which you can use to rights rights. And so technology is a tool they can use to, to empower themselves is a tool that they can use to empower their community is something that they can they can use for their for their better days to come. Barry Luijbregts  14:15  Right. So yeah, it's not only just skills, but it's mostly also attitude and confidence Caleb Ndaka  14:21  a lot, a lot. And let me tell you, that's something that we I didn't know when we were starting out, I thought like, we only need to give these kids skills, but then realize when those skills they land on not very prepared attitudes, then these in mice that you can, you can do and that's why we returned also to work in the in the mind and attitude change as much as we are giving them skills that they need for 21st century. Barry Luijbregts  14:50  So let's circle back a little bit. You said that one of the parts is then also to teach the kids how to use the internet. Now, I have to Young kids, and the oldest one is four. So she's not really understanding what the internet is, luckily for me, but I'm already dreading the time where she can actually access the internet and look stuff up. Because, you know, how do you guard them from the internet and all the bad stuff that you can find on there? And how do you make sure that they know what is real and what isn't real? Because there's so much stuff on there that is just non information and things that are just false? Yeah. Do you teach about that? Caleb Ndaka  15:32  Yes. online safety is a big thing to us. In 2016, I was able to attend the Internet Governance Forum in Mexico. And that's one of the things that I came out with that on in safety is not just a thing for the first world right after ro internet. Internet is threatening the cup like we've been saying, internet is making us to be a global village. So wherever Are you accessing the internet from my village in kaisi or whether you're in Netherlands like you are, as long as you can access the internet, then we are in one space, we are in one ecosystem. And therefore we we tend to be very intentional about online safety. And part of that is teaching teachers and parents how they can become informed guardians when it comes to internet use, right? Um, yeah, the thing about them, most of the population that we're dealing with is that most of them they do not accept the internet while at home. Most of them as the internet, were there, were they in school, or were they now a program. And that's a very big advantage to us, because we become like the first people to give them an introduction to the internet. And so therefore, we believe that I just given this kids putting into to know this is useful. It is not giving these kids an opportunity to know how they can protect themselves on very basic, but yet critical levels. That's something that we are we are very keen on trying to integrate, actually to each and every component of our of our curriculum. Barry Luijbregts  17:20  Right. Yeah. And then you get the advantage of catching them in the beginning where they first start to learn to access the internet. Caleb Ndaka  17:27  Yes, yes. And that's that's very important, because their first experience forms a big a big notion of the entire experience being online. Absolutely. Barry Luijbregts  17:39  Yeah. All right. So and then you start to teach them how to code. So what do you use for coding, what kind of languages and tools we use? Caleb Ndaka  17:48  Yeah. So like I mentioned, we target age to 18. Most of these kids are in rural Kenya. And one of the challenge that we have is just access to internet. So we try to Look for tools, which do not necessarily have to rely on Internet's we are biased towards tools you can use offline. And to fit that bill crutch as been a useful resource. You can just download it in our machines, and then we can be able to roll it out. But it also is very child friendly in terms of, you can teach the basics of programming, from conditional statement from logical thinking to how to issue out commands using very child friendly graphics. So scratch is like our main tool, which we are using to teach this kids. But we've also been able to use Minecraft when we have access to connection. And again, we're just trying to create this sparkless interest and give them the basics of how to, to reason like a programmer, you know, typically out to our problem solving, how to look when they're they're going about introduction to software development, once they have the basics of that, and especially now that we have all the kids in the program right now, we're able to do a bit of HTML and CSS, and now they tend to build small websites. And they're Barry Luijbregts  19:18  right, and then they can do it themselves. And then do you also give them a CI an example projects to make sure that they have something real world to work? Yes, Caleb Ndaka  19:27  um, our approach of learning is, is what are called project based learning. And it's the way we do it. Just to mention is that a good comp comp is a not for profit, we have a very small core group, but then we work a lot with volunteers, and most of them are university students or the volunteers from the community and we do have a mobile lab, which we move around the villages with, and so the mobile lab as 21 workstations, and we will also request volunteers when they come to volunteer with that they come with their laptops. And the more than we use for teaching is we have one volunteer Trainer with between three to five kids around the table, and they have access to a device. So we change the training from being a classroom, whereby one person is talking and like 30 or 50 or 100 people are listening to him. So we change that to making learning to be in very small teams, between three to five kids with a trainer and we make learning to be very project based learning, they are walking through a very particular program project in which they will be able to demonstrate by the end of the day, or by the end of the cup, Barry Luijbregts  20:50  then it will stick because of this. It is real world. Yes. That's a very good, good way of teaching. So you mentioned you work with volunteers. as well. So how largest is the organization? How many people work for it? So Caleb Ndaka  21:05  we are not a very big organization. We have a core team of five guys. But then we we are powered by volunteers every now and then we are We surely issue out a request for volunteers to come into work with us. So for the last five, six years, we've had over 1000 volunteers from all across the country, Kenner will be able to come in volunteers with us from a weekend to a holy day long depending on when they are available. Barry Luijbregts  21:37  Well, is it difficult to find volunteers?  Caleb Ndaka  21:39  It is not. It is not because of two things. First and foremost. Most university students when it's during their long holiday, they are looking for things to keep them busy. And so right I've seen an opportunity First of all, we give them an opportunity to travel across the country, being places have never been. And we are giving them an opportunity for them to predict proactively and productively use their holiday time. So we've been able to have very good structure at comes to attracting volunteers in our program,  Barry Luijbregts  22:12  and you pay for the travel as well. That's very attractive. I imagine. And are you planning to increase your core team? So you have five core people right now? Are you planning to increase that? Caleb Ndaka  22:27  Yes, definitely. For the last four, five years, we've been able to reach out to 10,000 kids. And our next milestone is trying to reach out 50,000 kids by 2030. In what we call the visual 50 k, r. And as we grow in numbers, we also want to grow the team. And so that's something that we are working towards that we can make the program more sustainable and more impactful, Barry Luijbregts  22:57  quite some goals. What do you need for the goals to happen. Like, how do you fund your organization? Caleb Ndaka  23:04  Great, great question there. We are a not for profit organization. And so before we are relied onasking for support from our friends and our family, we've also been writing grants. And we've also had different partnerships. We've been on Microsoft before, we have, but now we have General Electric's and a few organizations will be able to come to come on board. And so that is what we've relied on in the in the past, but also in the coming days, we are trying to make the program a little bit more sustainable by introducing what we're calling the income generating activity. Let me give you an example. Like we mentioned before, we only used to train kids, but then we realized this kids need that support system. And so we need to train the parents and their teachers. So one of the The income generating activities is actually by charging adults when they come to be trained, right? So we get, we get to two things that go when an adult comes to train their pain. And so we're able to make the program a little bit sustainable. But also, most of those adults, they end up becoming part of our community trainers. So that's something that we're trying to explore. We're trying to scale it up trying to see if we can make ourselves to be self sustaining in the coming days. Barry Luijbregts  24:33  So we've talked about how kids come in with, with zero skills, and maybe a bit of experience with the internet and a mobile device. And then they learn to use the internet they you learn to use computers, and they learn how to code as well and adults as well. Do you also follow up on people that you taught as in maybe a year later to see where they are and Or do you also provide them with access to traineeships? And ultimately a job? Caleb Ndaka  25:09  Yeah, that's an interesting question. It's something that I've been trying to address. So currently, this is the way we we've been doing it. We do not do what to call 181 that we don't do one comp and go away. We try to do every comp, we try to follow up and follow up and follow up. And, and part of that is because of something that we learned in our earlier years, community involvement and community ownership is very important. Right. And so we first avoid, we do not show up in communities. We wait to be invited. So we issue out a call for nomination people nominate, and then when you know minich we come and do a survey. And that's our base to establish if there's a need And what kind of supports the community is able to offer to us. In order for us to make our follow ups to be more seamless, and to be more effective. We are training more community based trainers, and most of this community based trainers, their local teachers, and that means that data will be not skewed for the next 510 or 20 years. And either most best placed person to do the follow up even after our initial phase of our training is, is done. And so by being intentional about training teachers in that community, that's the way we are trained to feel our follow up strategy, because the the locals in that communities, they are available in that communities. And if there's kills, and if they're motivated, then they become the best follow up methods to use. Barry Luijbregts  26:55  That's a very powerful way to scale your Organization has it and to keep keep the kids engaged. Caleb Ndaka  27:03  Yes. And also every after every program we do monitoring and evaluation, and one of the key areas would be trying to, to see is to ask ourselves, are we in talking to this kid when it comes to choosing careers and choosing, you know what to study and especially as you proceed to college, or as they proceed to, to high school, and so far 60% of the kids in our program, they are now more aligned to technology base, subjects and careers. And so we believe that's something that we are adding value to them, especially among gods who would just fear or our bad attitude towards, you know, Sciences and Technology. Barry Luijbregts  27:49  So you said, you run a non for profit that is, and you get some help also from partners like Microsoft and other companies. Can our listeners maybe also help you out in some way? Because I see on your website, https://www.kidscompcamp.com/support/. People can also support you with money and other things. Caleb Ndaka  28:16  Yeah, we believe that it it takes a village to raise a child. And so even in this digital driven society, it's good to take the digital village to ensure that every child is given equal fighting rights when it comes to tackling our today's digital driven society. And so if any listener feels they're there, they're able to come and help us to get more rural kids, that there are more than enough opportunities to do that and how to do that, like you just said, please visit our website https://www.kidscompcamp.com/support/. And there are a few ways you can you can be able to support us our mission, a few of them, you know, the first thing is that every year We run a campaign called donates lunchbox. So lunch box is food for one child for one camp at only $2. And the reason for that is sometimes we have kids who are walking up to 10 kilometers to be able to join our our camp. And so I keep cannot walk for all those kilometers and come and sit in a class with empty stomach, they will not concentrate, they will not enjoy. So wish I could say that kids comp come is about food, fun and computers. And so every year we are trying to raise food for this kid so that we can attract them to the camp. But also we can make them enjoy the training and through that they can be also to enjoy what technology can be able to offer for them. So if you can be able to donate one lunchbox, two lunchbox, 10 lunchbox, that's that would be great. A lot of boxes, only two to $2. And the challenge has always been if you can keep our lunch, maybe Be and donate that money to as a child in rural Kenya, that will be absolutely great. So how to do that? Visit www.kidscampcamp.com there are there ways you can you can be able to donate to us. The other way is if you have any unused or underused device, or even if you can consider donating devices to us, that will be great. First and foremost, it will help us to reduce the number of students to device ratio. Right now one device saves between three to five kids. If we can have one device, having two kids, that would be great. And that means we need to invest in more devices. So if you have a laptop, if you have a computer, if you have a smartphone, or a tablet, you feel it's going to be of benefit to our program would be most definitely happy to connect with you and try to see how we can. We can we can really connect. But most important if you can come volunteer with us. We believe that scene is better Leaving. And participating is only now one of the things that you've noticed is most of volunteers, they don't just come teach. After they teach, they go back and become our strongest support. So if we have time, a day, a weekend, a holy day, please come and volunteer with us. And like I mentioned, they can't come compounded calm is an email where you can reach out to us and we can be able to tell about the volunteer program that we have. So those are some of the ways in which we can, you know, work together and create a better world for this gift in rural Africa.  Barry Luijbregts  31:57  Well, that is amazing. I think your organization is amazing, and you are doing just incredible work. Thank you so much for that. And I would urge everybody that's listening to this to take a look at the website at https://www.kidscompcamp.com/support/, and I will also put that link in the show notes. Caleb, thank you so much for your time.And see you all next time. Caleb Ndaka  31:58  Thank you so much Barry. I was pleased to share about our small journey in rural Africa and how we can make this was a better place.

Roo and Tugs have this week off. Instead, we present a re-airing of our fabulous episode with the Moms of Furries! NOW LISTEN! See the show notes right here!

Petualangan Lisa nonton film Hollywood kurang beruntung minggu ini . Lisa nggak happy dengan film “Robin Hood” versi Taron Egerton, meskipun Egerton tetep kece di situ. Lisa akhirnya nonton “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” dan seperti semua film Harry Potter garapan David Yates, instalasi terbaru dari Fantastic Beasts ini masih terasa bertele-tele dan kurang greget. Sementara, Angga suka banget dengan “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph” yang merupakan sekuel dari “Wreck-It Ralph” dari Walt Disney Animation Studios. Ulasan utama minggu ini adalah “Mama Mama Jagoan” yang diperankan oleh Widyawati, Niniek L. Karim dan Ratna Riantiarno. Sutradara Sidi Saleh lagi-lagi mengangkat cerita yang jarang direpresentasikan di layar perak. Kapan terakhir kali nonton film yang bercerita tentang persahabatan para ibu-ibu? Nontonnya pun antara ketawa-ketawa gemes dan terharu. Lisa dan Angga juga ngomongin film-film tentang romansa di usia senior, seperti “Amour” dan “Ziarah.” Tontonan Minggu Ini Lisa: Robin Hood, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Angga: Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph Ulasan Utama Mama Mama Jagoan Spoiler The Showbox podcast adalah hasil kolaborasi Goodshow dan Box2Box Media Network.

Roo and Tugs are joined by the Moms of Furries in this episode where they learn how parents get into the fandom and raise furry children. We’ve visited the perspective of a child before and now we’re looking at the other side of the coin. This is episode is powerful in so many ways, so […]

So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids? Take family vacations. Would you pursue your gifts and talents in dreams? Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church.   You see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was pursue your gifts and talents and drains to serve others, and that is probably what you should be doing. The problem is most people are in the rat race, living five inches in front of their face with no time to pursue what they were born to do.   That is the problem and the solution is to develop enough passive income to replace your working income so you can quit your job and be free to live your life the way you were created to. That is a solution and this podcast will show you how.   What's up? Everybody? Welcome to another episode of Cash Flow Dad Life. My name is Ryan Enk, your host, and today I'm going to be talking about having the right tools to get started or to beef up your real estate investing. But bear with me today. I had, I had a hell of a morning. My wife and I, we get up every single morning to, uh, to spend time together...   Typically we get up at five. Now that's not always the case. Sometimes the snooze button is hit, but most of the time we get up at five and we make some coffee and we sit down on our couch, look out on the river and we go through a, an acronym called trip.   So when we say what we're thankful for, we reflect on something, some piece of, you know, either it's scripture or it's, you know, I like business success stuff, inspirational videos, reflect on something. We say, what our intentions are, and then we plan the day. Now sometimes it's not always a trip...   Some that full acronym, the Tri p, sometimes it's just a, you know, just the tr because the kids get up and they wake up.   Well, in this case, you know, we were on our reflection time and our youngest woke up and this kid was off the hook. Today he comes downstairs, we didn't even hear him. All of a sudden he comes over to us while we're praying and he says, Mama Mama match.   He had taken, he had found the matches somehow, which we've already hidden from him from past experiences. He found them in a bag and he dumped them all out on the floor. All right, great. So we go and we start picking up these matches. And it used to be the case that with five kids, it used to be the case that when I heard silence, I was like, Oh yes.   Finally silence. Now when I hear silence, I'm like, Oh crap, what? What is he getting into? Where is he? So we're picking up the matches and all of a sudden I hear silence again. I don't hear him anymore. I'm like, Oh crap, where is he? And she looks up and she has this face of fright. So I'm like John Paul one too, you know, when you count, that's like the magic thing with kids, you know, three.   And then he scurries over. He's like, what? What? You know? And he's, he's basically upstairs emptying out a bottle of soap.   So now we go upstairs. My Wife's picking up the matches, I'm cleaning up this mess with soap and all of a sudden as I'm cleaning up this soap, he comes back into the room where I'm cleaning the soap. And he had got into the baby formula somehow.   Just basically put his paws in it, dump it all --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cashflow-dadlife/support
