Grass Productivity: Rational Grazing - Second Edition
Voisin's classic is still in great demand, nearly three-quarters of a century after it was first written and published. And with so many books in this area that have completely disappeared
The main point of it, so often forgotten over and over, that grass is more productive when shorn and given time to re-grow. That is the core base of all the current popular works on rotational and "mob" grazing.
It's not too surprising then, that you can go through Voisin's book and find everything they are saying now as "revolutionary". Because he took the time to make a full study of his land, it's cattle, and everything anyone had written on the subject up to that point.
Also not too surprising is that only the really profitable grazers actually find this book and study it. Then re-study it. Because a regular re-study of Voison's work brings new understanding, new ideas, and greater simplicity to anyone's grazing operation. As well as more profitability.

Ghost Hunters Anthology 13 - trailer
"YES, I KNOW. SYBIL just called about her niece missing, and Jenna called Brigitte about her errant grandchild.
So we're all briefed up now. And keeping an eye out for her."
A glow came in through the front door window, about the time a thump landed on that small front porch.
"Wait - let me call you back. I think I might have some news..."
I signed off through the green pendant transceiver hanging around my neck. And walked across the main room toward the door.
It swung open ahead of me. On its own.
There was a brown-haired smallish girl there who took a couple of short steps inside. Wearing an off-white muslin blouse and well-worn jeans. Sturdy socks and boots down below that. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail under a bluejeans ball cap on her head. Covered with a visible glow all over. Like a light bulb shining behind her.
She raised the bill of her cap with one hand and looked at me through deep gray eyes. "Hello, Grampa Joe. Mind if I come in?"
I had to smile. The phrase 'better to ask forgiveness than permission' ran thick in our family.
"You're more than welcome here, Olivia."
She wasn't surprised to hear her name. "I suppose the word of my escape has preceded me."
My smile widened. "'Worried sick' comes to mind."
Olivia shrugged. "Mind if I sit down?"
And then a chair scooted across to meet her outstretched hand, while that glow diminished - slightly...

Hooman Saga: Book One - book trailer
Before the cities left, and plunged our world into a global dark age, there were stories that told that history.
Collected here are the works of four authors who have been telling scraps and pieces of what happened.
All through the eyes of the people (and animals) who lived it. Some are satire, others could be tall tales, perhaps some are downright lies. But that is all why they had to be published as fiction.
Because few people would believe it, even as a TV documentary.
All highly speculative. Filled with satire and political un-correctness. That's why it fits under Science Fiction and Fantasy. But its a very human telling.
You may even find yourself in here...

The Case of the Forever Cure - Book Trailer - Brower, Kruze
The problem was that people shipped off to die were being cured.
And that was a problem for the people who sent them there. Because it meant lawsuits.
Dead people can't talk – or sue anyone.
It was all going fine until a volunteer nurse brought in her student-nurses and they started curing people.
With no other medicines.
All these people had been diagnosed as terminal, and quarantined.
So they had been sent to hospices in the suburbs – a fact completely unknown to the people living normal lives outside those clinic walls. Or the families of the afflicted.
If that quarantine was broken, the virulent outbreak would spread and decimate the local human populace. Millions more would die.
But this one nurse was curing these patients, instead.
And was prevented from telling anyone else about how she did.
I was there to find out her secrets. But I found out much more.
The people paying me weren't going to be happy...

Why Leftists Fail With Violence - Book Trailer
Somewhere in the Waning of the Great Coronavirus Hoax, when the Leftists rioted and destroyed huge sections of large metropolitan downtown areas, I worked to make sense of the world as it was reported in the “news” of that time.
Turning to history, I found books over a hundred years old that said things which could have been written today.
It came back to me that humanity hasn't changed much in our 10,000 years of recorded history – if at all.
And the phrase comes to mind: “Those who fail to study their own history are condemned to repeat it.”
Because the Leftists approach of a hundred years ago is still hard at work now destroying things in the very same pattern as they did then.
For that is their main reason for living – to destroy all that is constructed so they can seize power and remake the world according to their own warped view of things. The problem is that they are so devoted to learning and implementing destruction they have no background in building things. So the countries they take over become economic disasters. Russia, Venezuela, China, Cuba - and even the ancient cultures before Marx ever learned to write...

Ghost Hunters Anthology 14 - Marpel, Kruze
Ghost Hunters Anthology 14
She was tall, with a long black wavy mane that came most the way down her back.
While her tight black leather jeans almost came up to meet, except for a narrow band of pure ivory skin. Those, plus a cropped knit top and an opened short jacket, drew all eyes to her in the backwoods bar.
Only the jukebox continued any noise, beating out a worn country music classic.
She had come to see me. Perhaps to help with my simple request. Because I needed assistance for an appointment after hers. For a mystery I wasn't sure I could solve on my own.
As she strode over in her high-heeled Timberline boots, she smiled. In another age, her smile would have launched a thousand ships.
Right now, she was here just for me.
A slight wave of her hand and the crowd resumed whatever they had been doing before. She liked a grand entrance, but only so much.
She again turned back to me, and our eyes locked. I returned her smile.
As ever, this was going to be fun...

Harpy Spawn - Book Trailer - S H Marpel
Sunset found me trying to understand why the small herd I was caring for was nervous and bawling.
It wasn't long before I saw what those cows were looking up at. Or rather, who.
Three human-sized females, each with broad wings, were circling above the herd, as if looking for their evening meal.
As I saw them, they spied me – and started dropping from the sky right toward the spot I stood on.
Since I couldn't outrun them, I just stood there - to see if I was going to die in the next few moments.
But no, they landed softly a few yards away, then folded their wings to run toward me – with smiles on their faces.
The next moment I was being smothered in tiny kisses and nearly suffocated with strong hugs.
“Pa!” Father!” “Daddy!” were all I heard.
How I managed to somehow sire three full-grown goddesses was the first question that came to mind.
The second question was how I was going to explain them to my fiancé...

The Harpy Saga Anthology - Book Trailer - by S. H. Marpel
It's not often these days that you read about a real goddess.
One who was a lover of Ulysses – and saved his butt more than he would care to admit (and never told his biographer.) And one who influenced history for good and bad in more ways than you know.
But only the very worst stories about how she looked and acted have been passed down through the ages.
So she kidnapped a writer to tell it straight. Only he had to write this as fiction, since no one would believe him anyway.
This is all about her and that author. All of what happened between them and because of them isn't chronicled here. But this short collection is a good start.
Extracted from the numerous episodes of the Ghost Hunters series.
And it begins, as we said above, with his disappearance...

Ghost Hunters Primer
It started with a dream.
In it, John Earl Stark solved the problem of a ghost he met. Or did he? It was a dream, after all.
The next day he meets two women who visit his cabin, arriving out of the blue, literally. (Well, one arrived with pitched black darkness which filled his cabin and made her cough.)
These two have an offer for Stark. All he really wanted was to enjoy the small cabin and solitude so he could write his mystery stories.
These ladies had another offer - to help them solve the reasons ghosts don't move on. Plenty of new inspiration for stories, decent pay, won't interrupt his writing schedule.
Of course - he could die doing it...
- - - -
The reason for this primer:
...is simple - over the years, many recurring characters have been introduced. A reader discovering a later book might get confused when some character just shows up and starts helping out with the story. Veteran readers just nod and smile and appreciate the new depth that character brings. So we've collected all the key character's first stories into one thick volume.
And it makes pretty good reading all by itself.
At least 25 characters are introduced in these 17 stories. (Of course, many have their own series now, but that's another story in itself...)

Death By Advertising - by J. R. Kruze - Book Trailer
The day she died, an ad was run.
And you saw it, everyone did.
Because it was a perfectly composed ad, with a perfectly chosen photo. Perfect clickbait headline. Not a word out of place. And it had a 30% click-through rate. For the mortuary.
That service was the most highly-attended event the mortuary had ever held. And pre-sales of burial plots and cremations spiked. All bought by impulse.
Yet the mortuary didn’t run that ad.
The deceased did.
It has come from her ad account, placed the day her body was delivered.
No one knew that.
Until the I showed up in the agency’s office a day after the funeral service...

Death by Marketing by J. R. Kruze
I was facing sure death - my own.
Not like my former partner faked hers - this was an actual slow grind that was really wearing me down. Inevitable unless I changed something. Because that's what my doctor said.
Like getting your arteries clogged - slow and ultimately painful death. You just don't know it until you wind up with a heart that won't run and keep your body running. Death - slow, but sure.
Then I spotted that ad. And my heart skipped a beat. In a good way.
This guy really knew how to write. And he wants a committed female marketer. Single. Eye roll - for sure.
If that ad wasn't so curious, I'd swear he just wants some hack writer bimbo to bed, who'd last only as long as he kept throwing money at her. But still - it wouldn't hurt to find out where he learned to write like that.
Only I still needed to last at least that long. Just to meet this guy.
One last adventure...

Science of Success - Overview - 01a
Napoleon Hill's Science of Success - An Overview
If you knew the path to success, that it was already defined, and is a path that always worked if you just took those steps - would you let anything keep you from starting on it?
And if someone told you that you probably already knew what made the most successful that way, would you believe them?
The answer to those two different questions might be "no".
Because that's the way we've been trained from childhood - through our schools, our family upbringing, and the people around us, including our popular media.
We aren't trained to be an exceptional success – instead, we're trained to get a job and stick with it as long as we can.
Whether you work at a writer or in any other profession or job – your success is based on a set of natural principles.
And most of us have already encountered some or all of these just through regular living.
The only difference between the exceptional successes and the ordinary, mundane job-holder, is a matter of belief and persistence...

And So...
As you go through your life, you develop mental habits. These will either help or hinder you in your progress. Through these short essays, you've already been told about several areas that you can improve. You start by defining your purpose. As you align your various habits to achieving that success you want, you will tweak or adjust those habits to help you more closely approach what it is you really want out of life.
Always be prepared to make the large or small adjustments so that you can live in harmony with Nature's various cycles. And always be willing to go the extra mile to help others open-handedly as you travel your own success path.
Take some time to regularly review these 17 principles of Napoleon Hill's Science of Success course. You can live the life you've always dreamed of. You can attain, achieve, and acquire everything you've ever wanted from life. And then keep your gains – forever.
And the second best time to start – is now.

D. Creative Problem-Solving
This area has two principles:
- Creative Vision, and
- Learning From Adversity.
There's an additional benefit to having a definite purpose and focusing your thoughts and efforts on that one thing.
Your imagination starts bringing you solutions to any number of problems you encounter.
As you continue to read your written goal statement daily, it trains your imagination to find and propose those answers to you.
How does that work?
There are three minds at work.
- Your Conscious mind is the one you can control directly.
- The Infinite mind has all knowledge, all answers - but you cannot access it.
- Between these two is your Subconscious or Unconscious mind. The Unconscious mind is always there, always present. And it acts as the bridge between your Conscious mind and all the answers you could possibly need from the Infinite...

E. A Balanced Lifestyle
This last area has four principles:
- Cooperation & Teamwork,
- Maintaining Sound Health,
- Budgeting Time and Money,
- Developing Your Natural Balance.
In the world around you, there are many people who want to help you. As part of any workforce, there are associates who want to do their job, just as much as you want to do yours. They will cooperate with you as part of any workforce. This is rudimentary teamwork.
Now, that cooperation can be grudging or hesitant, as well as positive and abundant. It depends on how well you have mastered your own mindset and encouraged others to master theirs.
When you develop positive teamwork at your job, or within your business, that work can become a labor of joy...

Science of Success - Overview - 04b
Another point of respecting others and gaining their respect, is to dress well and stand up straight. These also build your self-esteem. Practice makes perfect. A self-confident person will tend to build other's self-confidence through their actions.
One idea to get started in this is to use W. Clement Stone's affirmation, "I feel healthy, I feel happy, I feel terrific!" This will often put a smile on your face just by saying it out loud. And smiling then brings the rest of your physical being into that attitude. Stone lived to be a hundred years old. So remember to say this regularly, even if under your breath in a crowd. This can work wonders for your attitude - regardless of the day you've had so far.
What we've also touched on here is personal initiative.
This, too, is a broader subject Hill studied and wrote about. The key point here is that your purpose should be big enough, interesting enough, and personal enough that you can devote all your energies directly toward its achievement.
Your plan is worked out. So you work that plan by taking initiative - to execute those steps you know have to be done. There is an old phrase that tells you how much personal initiative you are going to need - "A winner never quits and a quitter never wins." So we see our Applied Faith principle coming back to visit us again...

C. A Positive Mindset
This area includes the principles of:
- Pleasing Personality,
- Positive Mental Attitude,
- Enthusiasm,
- Personal Initiative, and
- Going the Extra Mile.
A mindset is composed of habitual thinking patterns. While you are trained by family and your environment from the day you are born (and sometimes, even pre-natally) - this training can be examined and re-programmed. Any mental habit you have can be tweaked or replaced to help you achieve whatever you want out of life.
Emotions are pre-programmed responses to external stimulus. The etymological roots of this word "emotion" mean literally "motion out". You use an emotion to cope with inputs from your environment...
