In the perilous, ungoverned zones of Nicaragua, Sam Harrington-former US Army Ranger turned visionary nation builder embarks on a bold and controversial mission. Along with his eclectic group of South African friends, they are constructing a nuclear power plant set to produce enough electricity to light up most of Central America. But this plant is more than just a beacon of energy-it's the cornerstone of a daring plan to resettle the Afrikaner people, who are fleeing persecution and the devastating economic collapse of their homeland. Though sanctioned by a narco-sympathetic Nicaraguan government, Sam's operation inadvertently strikes a nerve with the menacing Azteca drug cartel. Led by the ruthless drug lord Gabriel Perez, known as El Tigre owing to his obsession with exotic tigers, this organization is the wealthiest and most violent cartel in the region. With Sam's initiative obstructing their lucrative smuggling routes, tensions erupt into violence as El Tigre's criminal syndicate vows to reclaim what they've lost. With the walls closing in, Sam and his friends find themselves precariously trapped between the corrupt Nicaraguan government, the relentless and powerful US Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Azteca cartel. With few allies and the threat of El Tigre looming like a shadow, Sam and his friends must harness their resolve to protect their groundbreaking experiment from being erased off the face of the Earth. Will Sam's quest for a new beginning for the Afrikaner people be the end of them all? In the wilderness of the ungoverned zones, there's far more at stake than just survival.

Like a true pirate poet, Cirillo's poems pillage the senses with good music, stiff drinks, and even a little romance. Cirillo's strengths are on full display in this collection. Sit back with your favorite drink and enjoy. Welcome to the party."- Jake St. John, author of Lost City Highway"What I love about Todd's poetry is its ability to make me laugh out loud, feel loved or heartbroken or like I've pre-gamed for a party I wasn't invited to but craved to be a part of. Reading DISPOSABLE DARLINGS creates a sensation that these poems happened to me. Todd is abundantly clever in his wordplay and metaphors, without being over the top. This is a book I read over and over again-while at a bar, traveling, in the park, stuck in traffic. Take a moment to read "Useful Poetry," because I strongly suggest you make good use of this book in typical and potentially suggestive ways, because I have, and I love every minute of it."- Linzi Garcia, author of Thank You"Todd Cirillo's work is like that old friend who is always there at the bar to share a drink and some good laughs, and also make you think. It's work that to a certain degree always makes you feel good knowing it aims to entertain without preaching or having a hidden agenda. It's a good jukebox with excellent tunes and where an ice cold beer is waiting before you even take your seat. Todd doesn't speak at you as most so-called modern poets do in that pretentious sense he speaks to you as friend and connects as great writers should. His pages are his truth and he provides a much needed escape in times when that is needed more so than ever. Take the ride. I promise it will always be worth the price of admission."- John Patrick Robbins, Editor In Chief of the Rye Whiskey Review

"Loving Feminists: A Memoir of Being with and Making Love to the Modern (American) Woman", describes the anonymous author's development and evolution into one aspiring to romantic relationships relationships with feminist women--educated, independent, ambitious, careerist, modern--, and over twenty such relationships, including that with his wife of thirty years. Intended to instruct and enlighten as well as entertain, a carefully crafted remembrance of early development and failed attempts at losing virginity offers a nostalgic reminder of the slow, fitful progression to sexual maturity once standard for young men of middle class, educated background. (Useful antidote to today's intimidating instruction via pornography.) With a twist. The author's discovery, age eight, that although appearing White he is Black, therefore of lesser status in America. This circumstance, coupled with subsequent trauma and a difficult stepfather relationship, transforms a somewhat bookish youngster into a colder, calculating creature of particular appetite and need where women and society are concerned. Resentment of racial injustice, together with raising daughters, eventually aligns him with feminist outlook, prompting desire to alter standard predatory, chauvinist sexual practice to behavior more accommodating and pleasing to women. Especially independent, ambitious, attractive, self-possessed White women to whom he is attracted. Progression and development in this vein offer a blueprint of meaningful, satisfying sex for feminist women and their partners. Stark antidote to slam-bam, thank-you-ma'am.

Oil spills are a significant environmental hazard that not only impact marine life but also pose numerous dangers to the health and safety of employees involved in cleanup efforts. This subchapter aims to provide employees with a comprehensive overview of oil spills, their causes, and the potential dangers they present.An oil spill occurs when crude oil or refined petroleum products are released into the environment, usually into water bodies such as oceans, rivers, or lakes. These spills can happen due to accidents during transportation, drilling operations, or as a result of natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes.The scale and impact of oil spills can vary greatly, ranging from small-scale incidents to catastrophic events that cause widespread damage. Regardless of their size, oil spills have several detrimental effects on the environment. The spilled oil forms a thick layer on the water surface, preventing oxygen from reaching aquatic organisms and hindering their ability to breathe. This leads to the death of fish, birds, and other marine species, disrupting entire ecosystems.However, it's not just the environment that is affected by oil spills. Employees involved in cleanup operations face various risks to their health and safety. Direct exposure to crude oil, as well as the chemicals used to disperse or clean it up, can cause a range of health issues. These include skin irritation, respiratory problems, headaches, dizziness, and even long-term effects such as cancer or damage to the nervous system.Furthermore, the physical demands of oil spill cleanup work can also take a toll on employees. They may be required to work long hours in challenging conditions, often exposed to extreme weather, hazardous materials, and the risk of accidents.
