Steeled Toes and Cowboy Boots : Heylia-Dru Yarbrough
Ex-bull rider turned rancher Jaffery Dufrey has never hidden the fact he comes from a long line of outlaws and lawmen. But the thing he’s most proud of is being part of a dying breed – the African-American cowboy. His focus is on Sweet Briar, a working cattle ranch that has been in the Dufrey family for generations, and Sanctuary, the forty-five acres of Sweet Briar land dedicated to providing a haven for at-risk youths.
Jaffery spends time working with the kids sent to Sanctuary, teaching them self-worth through training them to become competition riders who compete in the amateur rodeo circuit is something he’s passionate about, and educating them about black cowboys’ place in history.
Jaffery is approached by his Crawford about leasing one hundred acres of Sweet Briar land to Willard Gas for use as underground storage for natural gas, but he doesn’t trust Crawford’s explanation that an arrangement with Willard Gas would be good for Hallowell’s economy and has no intentions of deeding as much as a clump of dirt from of Sweet Briar’s over fifteen hundred acres to Crawford, but he’s still willing to give Willard Gas’s engineer and opportunity to explain the process of natural gas storage to him. Jaffery should have known given Crawford’s flexible morals, Crawford would play dirty and shouldn’t have been surprised when Willard Gas sent the beautiful Ms. Harvey as their representative.
Texas transplant Engineer Michal Harvey isn’t looking for love, not after the fiasco of her last relationship sent her running from Texas to Georgia, and shouldn’t have been surprised that the rugged rancher, could not hide his surprise that she was female. After all, industrial inspections in the oil and gas industries is a male-dominated field. But she was not here with an ax to grind, make friends or impress the local bull-riding demi-God. She was here to convince him to do business with her company Willard Gas and make a name for herself in the STEM field.
But being around Jaffery is easy. Falling into a friendship feels organic and natural. Communication is fun and funny. And the heavy undercurrent of desire sizzling through their friendship does nothing to stop her from enjoying spending time in Jaffery’s company, learning about his work with his kids and the community.
Michal never counted on the hunky, laid-back cowboy, and the more time she spends with Jaffery, whether at the ranch, exploring downtown Hallowell, going to the rodeo, or overnight camping with him and the kids, the more she sees his fun side and her attraction to him grows. She just hopes he never finds out her boss pressed her into spending time with him because he needs Jaffery focused on anything but the contract she’s supposed to get him to sign with Willard Gas.
However, a fire that destroyed the family church and an attempt to set fire to Sanctuary’s dorm leads Jaffery to find out about Crawford’s duplicity and Michal’s supposed role in all of it, resulting in a breakdown of their budding relationship, which will take work to rebuild and make their journey will be wilder than eight heart-stopping seconds on the back of a thousand-pound bull.

The Bell Curve Plus: Intelligence & Communism : Shawn Fan
Intelligence is associated with everything created by human beings.
IQ compounds one part of how we define intelligence, while wisdom is the other aspect of it. IQ can be measured; wisdom cannot.
Chinese have high IQ. Their discoveries, inventions, material culture confirm that. However, with respect to immaterial culture, China is far behind the West. Chinese like materialism. They worship power, and are not religious. Chinese culture, like other East Asian culture, is the perfect soil for communism.
The Chinese don’t have philosophical thinking. China’s behind the West in immaterial culture partially proves it. How the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) grabs power, conducts economic construction, and struggles for Hegemony more clearly supports the idea.
When the CCP fought for power, they used all methods at any cost. Robbing, kidnapping, blackmail, killing, looting, growing opium, terror, lies, conspiracies, or anything you can imagine, were used by the CCP to defeat their competitors. They only cared about their power.
After the CCP led by Mao Zedong came to power, they used the same way to secure power. Lies and violence are their two heirlooms. When Mao was in power, tens of millions of Chinese were killed. On the other hand, Mao and the CCP enjoyed luxury life. Their special supplies, houses, obscene life, etc. are secrets of the country. The only good thing Mao did for China was that he died in 1976.
To make the CCP’s regime survive, they started economic construction. They use all approaches for power. The whole country is polluted. People are controlled tightly. Chinese are their slaves or tools. They steal technologies from the West. They make promises to anything they can benefited from but never keep them. There is no spirit of contract in China.
For its goal to surpass the West led by the US, the CCP tries to sabotage the West. They don’t obey any rules. They proliferate nuclear weapons and technology. They support terrorists.
However, no matter what they do, the West is still far better than China. When President Trump starts the Trade War, many foreign companies move their business out of China and Chinese economy become worse and worse. Moreover, Chinese policies in minority regions, Hong Kong’s democratic movements, Taiwan’s more and more independence, etc. make the CCP’s regime in danger. For its own power, the CCP spread the Coronavirus in 2019 during 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan. Then people in the whole world are dying and suffering.
Chinese is a country of rule by law, not rule of law. Whoever has the power has the right. The society is like a pyramid. A small percentage of people are on the top while about 80~90% of people are on the bottom. They are slaves and don’t have human rights. People don’t know natural law and are not equal in China. The cruelest get to the top. Everyone in the country tries their best to move up and get on top of others. Chinese are like in the jungle.
Chinese have high IQ, but don’t have a spirit of contract or understand natural law. They don’t have philosophical thinking and are short in wisdom. Chinese need wisdom for society, not just for themselves. Chinese need the West for civilization. Democratic countries need to be united against China. Otherwise, the CCP will use virus, nuclear weapon, terrorism, corruption, and any way they can use to fight the West for power. The world will be infiltrated by the CCP and then be controlled by it.
We are in an unrestricted war now. This war is the conflict of civilizations: the West against the East; Capitalism against communism. This war is caused by the difference of intelligence between Caucasian and East Asian.

Collect The Cash : Dee Bowden
Collect the Cash is my personal story of working for a small company that neglected collecting outstanding invoices and it closed.
The benefits the book offers to the readers are busting the myths about Business-to-Business collections and discovering that B2B collections are 3 things: Problem Solving, Customer Service and Gratitude.
I was inspired to write this book after listening to Sharai Robbin on a Facebook Live share that she was Simon and Schuster’s best-selling author and she wanted to work with people who knew they had a story to share with the world but didn’t know how to get started. She got me to identify the fact that I want business owners to win in their business by not leaving uncollected money on the table and that my system could teach them what to do to collect the coins.
The primary readers of my book are business owners and people who work in companies, corporations and government agencies that struggle with needing to get paid and not wanting to ruffle the feathers of their customers.
The hardest part of writing the book was dealing with my emotions as I shared my stories and wondering if this makes sense and will it really impact a business owners’ life. I did some research for the book and didn’t find a lot of people talking about this subject. It’s not a sexy subject in business but it is a necessary one because the sale is not complete until the money is in the bank.
(Transaction Approved)
I learned it is necessary to have a writing coach to work with you on the book project. I also learned that as a first-time author finding a publisher that will explain publishing is important to know the process your book will go through before it becomes an actual book ready for publication matters.
I encourage business owners, entrepreneurs, micro-business owners, and anyone who has ever had the “What Had Happened was… in business or in life” to grab a copy of Collect the Cash.
