Arborists Near Me is an exclusive directory and lead generation service for tree service companies. Arborists Near Me promotes professional tree service companies online making it easy for homeowners to find tree care companies quickly and easily in one place. Unlike other websites and directories that list all types of businesses plumbers, roofers, electricians, etc. Arborists Near Me is focused 100% on tree service. Stephen Clark, CEO of Arborists Near Me, says, “If you needed heart surgery would you go to a general practitioner or would you go to a Cardiologist, a heart specialist?”
Stephen notes that, “tree service companies are an important part of landscaping and maintaining a healthy, beautiful community. Great tree care companies with talented Arborists on staff do not get enough credit for the work they do as specialists. Certified Arborists are educated on tree health, proper pruning, safety, equipment, and continue their education to stay up to date and remain knowledgeable. Therefore, tree care companies need to separate themselves in their online marketing efforts.”
Caleb Green, Marketing Director at Good Guys Tree Service said, “We signed up, got listed in 20 cities we wanted to target, right away we were able to get a few phone calls, what I liked about those leads is people seemed to be genuinely interested in their trees and they were looking for Arborists, so these were good leads, people that had work that needed to be done. Arborists Near Me does a good job of weeding out unprofessional competition, there are alot of guys with pickup trucks and a logo and ah yeah, you probably don’t want to be bidding against those guys.”
Stephen says, “Arborists Near Me has grown tremendously in the last year, over 200 tree service companies are listed with 3-4 companies signing up every month. A premier listing is just $19.99 per month, no contract, companies can select up to 20 cities to show up in and up to 10 categories like tree trimming, tree removal, and stump grinding. We do not charge for calls you get from your listing, leads are optional. Our focus is generating direct inbound phone calls.”
Those who want to learn more about Arborists Near Me are encouraged to look at the company’s website. Additionally, the company invites those interested to get in touch with Stephen directly via email through the website. Arborists Near Me’s blog is a great source for both homeowners and tree care companies, also check out their Facebook page where they post updates and communicate to their users.
Mamour Dieng, an American citizen of Senegalese descent, aims to add cultural significance and relevance to the American experience by presenting a historical fiction title with mystical elements to English readers as a way to connect readers to a time in history when the slave trade was just starting to expand
An exciting and worthy crowdfunding campaign has been launched on the Kickstarter platform. The campaign from Thomas Hill is to publish one of the most remarkable African American novels and to pay for promotion and have it distributed.
With literary agents limiting who they take on as clients, and publishing houses focusing mainly on household names, getting published has become even harder. Now, imagine an African American, who is not a celebrity, a reality star, or a sports star, trying to get published the odds of success has now been cut even further.
For more than 400-years black voices have been silenced in all walks of life from freedom of speech, politics, to literary offerings. Now, that is about to be changed with the groundbreaking novel “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” author Mamour Dieng.
“Roots: The Saga of an American Family”, is a historical fiction that will allow English readers to experience the culture of the African American family. It allows readers to be connected to history with an enjoyable read and an interesting story instead of reading a history book and failing to reach the last chapter. By reading the new book, it allows readers to be taken from history to the modern age and understand why even today so many people are still angry.
The story follows a young prince named Kundul who is set to inherit the fictional kingdom of Wagadu. His father made some enemies and is about to make new enemies. This is not just a great read to be taken back in time and understand how the world has changed, it is also a great way for children to learn more about the history and how things were in a world that was fought with many wrongs.
The only way this book is going to reach the shelves and allow our children to understand what life was really like and the cultural differences is by people backing the campaign. Some book reviewers have called the new book a must-read, while others have said this is a book that the big named publishing houses should publish. However, without the support of book fans, and without the help of donors, this book will not see the light it deserves.
A native of the Northern Virginia suburbs, Thomas Hill has lived in a variety of locations throughout the United States. He attended the University of Virginia and studied government with a political theory concentration. While at U.Va., he interned with the University of Virginia Press and developed his first taste of life in publishing. Professionally, Thomas has worked for a variety of nonprofit and for-profit organizations through the Washington, DC, metro area, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Staffing Association, and PBS. His affinity for print publication layout, design, and production provided him many opportunities to work on magazines, newsletters, and full-length book projects. He has served in editing/proofreading, layout/design, and prepress production roles since that time. He currently serves as a copyeditor for Pasatiempo, a weekly arts and culture magazine based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and works independently with authors and publishers in the production of high-quality books.

Mamour Dieng, the author of Kundul the Younger, A Hero’s Tale has gained worldwide exposure for his new book, which follows a young prince named Kundal. The book is set in the 18th century in central Africa and takes us to a time that many try to forget and a time that our children should be made more aware of.
This book has been described as a must read but sadly the author has struggled to get the book published through mainstream book publishers due to not being a celebrity or reality star. So, Mamour Dieng decided to turn to a crowdfunding platform to receive help in a mission to get the book published.
We wanted to speak to Mamour Dieng, and find out more about his book Kundul the Younger, A Hero’s Tale.
1. You have written a new novel, can you explain what the new novel is about?
The novel is about a young prince named Kundul who is coming of age in the 18th century in central Africa. Kundul is set to inherit his father’s vast kingdom and, in the process of learning what he must do to become king, he is captured by European slave hunters.
2. Why did you decide to write this novel?
I wanted to write this novel to give people an opportunity to become more intimately connected with the history of Africa. Most people know a great deal about the European slave trade and how it effectively built America. Few people, however, know the rich cultural history and traditions of those who were kidnapped and sent to America, and, specifically, what role they played in geopolitics.
3. Who have you aimed the novel at?
The novel is designed to be read by anyone. The core messages deal with the importance of believing in yourself, following your heart, and honouring your relatives. The historical and cultural elements will appeal to those readers who enjoy historical fiction, and, specifically, those who seek a more intimate connection to African history.
4. How much research did you do before writing your novel?
Many of the stories within the novel come from my own experiences living in Senegal. My grandfather played a very pivotal role in my cultural education, as he was full of stories that inform the person I have become today.
5. During your research, was there anything that shocked you, and if so why?
There are plenty of shocking things to take from the brutality of the slave trade. People who were seen as nothing more than a labor commodity were taken from their homes, families, and villages to work in the tobacco fields of America. There, they had no value apart from the products produced from their labor. But, prior to the slave trade, these same people were part of a very cohesive, sophisticated, and cultured civilization that stretched back thousands of years. They were active participants in trade with other nearby civilizations, and they endured the influx of other cultures, such as Christian culture and Muslim culture. They also had a hand in influencing other cultures, like the Egyptians, Greeks, Muslims, and Christians.
6. You have turned to crowdfunding to get the book published and marketed, why have your decided to go down this route?
The project has expanded considerably since I first started it. I’ve been in talks with a board game developer, who will assist in creating a children’s game based on the novel. And we are hoping to turn the finished novel into a screenplay that we can then sell to Hollywood. We are seeking funding to assure that all of these projects will be completed in a timely manner and with the right amount of professional expertise and input.
7. In schools around the world, the history of slaves and how they were treated has widely been ignored, why do you think that is?
It’s ugly history. For those who are of European descent, it can be troubling to come to grips with the fact that one’s ancestors participated in this type of brutality. This book is not meant to demonize those who participated in this (in many ways, one of the main characters, a would-be slave trader, wonders if his Christian beliefs are being compromised by participating). And for those who are descendants of former slaves (most African Americans today), it’s an opportunity to understand that despite all of the evils and wrongs perpetuated on our people over the years, we are still here. It is time to tell those stories of what life was like for Africans before contact with slave traders. It stands to fill in missing pieces of American history, and, by extension, world history.
8. How important is it for people to learn about the culture of African Americans?
African American history is American history. Enslaved Africans have as much stake in the building this country as do their European masters — for without the labor enslaved Africans provided, the country would not have grown as fast as it did (economically, politically, and culturally). It may not have been able to fend off English military might. And, looking at African American culture today, it has its roots in Africa as well. This is an important time to honor the contributions of our ancestors to understand who we are today. And, in America, we can’t resign ourselves to think that our particular group did everything. Europeans provided the infrastructure, coming on the heels of the Enlightenment, which gave new power to science and technology and individual effort. Racial minorities of all stripes were the backbone, building the pathways of the future. That is every American’s inheritance.
9. Would you like to see schools teach children more about African Americans?
A story like this is perfect for educational purposes. It’s infused with words in the native Wolof language and provides an opportunity to learn about a new culture. And the overarching messages (perseverance, believing in oneself, respecting one’s elders) are themes that speak to every generation and every person, no matter where their ancestors are from.
10. Do you think it is harder for authors nowadays to get published?
There is so much talent out there that it seems hard to break into publishing. But technology is such now that many people are finding other avenues to read their audiences. So, yes and no. It’s a great time to be in publishing, but there are also many leagues to go where representation of marginalized peoples and education about history are concerned.
11. Would you say it is harder for African American authors to get published?
I would say that 20 years ago it was harder for people of color to get a publishing deal. These days, agents and publishers are looking for fresh perspectives, told from the perspectives of people who in many ways had no voice prior. These developments in publishing mean that the playing field seems to be levelling. Again, it’s a great time to be in publishing.
12. There are not a lot of African American novels on the shelves in book shops, why do you think that is?
Again, there have been enormous cultural shifts in the book publishing world over the past 20 years. We can blame European supremacist views for the lack on representative publishing in years prior. But American society has become more liberal where that is concerned. Black authors are getting big publishing deals now. Native American authors are telling their own history now! People take to social media demanding more representation. Book publishers are listening.
13. How important is it that people get to read your new book?
Whenever you are producing a great story, you want readers to get the full benefit of what you are writing. Readers want to be taken on a journey. This novel will not disappoint those who are hoping to delve into a world that is utterly foreign to them, but, at the same time, they may learn something they didn’t know about American and world history in the process.
14. Do you think we are doing enough to encourage children to read?
I think we could do more. And one of the great things about writing a book like this, especially for communities of color, is that they can start to see themselves in these stories. They might identify with the courage that Kundul, the main character, demonstrates, or even the way some of the more sinsister characters develop and what happens to them. This in general makes learning more fun. When they can see a part of themselves in a story, they are more likely to remember it, share it with others, and, to a large extent, feel a part of the literary world.
15. What was the first book you read?
I think the Curious George series was one of the earliest book compilations that produced fond memories for me. The main character was a monkey named George who was always getting himself into trouble. And his handler, The Man in the Yellow Hat, was always getting George out of those binds. It was very comical.

Pennsylvania – February 2020 – Blacc Cuzz wields his authenticity like a sledgehammer. He’s lived the life that many rappers claim to and has the scars to prove it. He’s lost brothers to the life, and has two bullets in his lung that speak to that, all of which is mentioned in the track. He references this more as a footnote than braggadocio, he’s too busy looking forward instead of spending that much time reflecting on the past.
It begins in classic rap fashion with a recorded voicemail message that details Blacc Cuzz’ passion, skill, and individuality. It’s a call to arms which is quite obviously picked up as soon as the beat drops. This is trap with a backbone looking to wrestle weaker offerings to the floor and beat them senseless.
‘Intro’ is not just a single, it’s a statement of intent. Blacc Cuzz is an artist who has been gaining reputation with each release from his latest album ‘Stretch It’, but with ‘Intro’ he’s putting the entire industry on check.
In just a few minutes ‘Intro’ manages to introduce a new voice to the scene and it’s clearly one that is looking to sidestep the cliché and already tired tropes of the genre. It’s got something fresh at its heart and that shines through in the rhyme schemes and melody. It also has honesty at its core that is tragically lacking in far too many artists.
They say should always leave them wanting more and that’s exactly what ‘Intro’ does. It’s a taste of what the album ‘Stretch It’ serves up in stacks. It tells you exactly who Blacc Cuzz is and what he’s about, and it doesn’t pull its punches. It’s about knowing yourself, what you can do, and looking out for number one. In just one verse it buries the majority of rappers that came before and sets up the legacy of the next big move in the genre.
About Blacc Cuzz
Blacc Cuzz never dreamed of being a rapper, he only picked up the mic after starting his own label and seeing that everyone he signed was lacking what he had. He has the voice, the credentials, the lifestyle, and the swagger. He is an obvious fan of the genre and channels it into making music that he would want to listen to himself. This is premium grade trap music with the beats and the bump to back it up.
Based out of Philadelphia, Blacc Cuzz has been busy building his record label and contacts and his infectious smile and love for the game has earned him a following that has seen him touring with Eightball and MJG. The album ‘Stretch It’ tells street narratives that are rooted in motivation and moving forward past the gritty past that birthed them. Blacc Cuzz wants to be the new voice of the streets and with this latest release, it’s clear to see he has a clear claim to the title.
A small group of fishermen from Louisiana were treated to the “trip of a lifetime” after catching a monster 350lb goliath grouper off the coast of Florida.
Captain Alex Hare of Silver King Charters of Destin took 3 clients out for a chartered fishing trip expected to catch snapper and gag grouper.
“We had hooked a snapper and something ate the snapper on the way in,” recalled Hare of the moment the grouper snagged one of the fisherman’s line. “We fought the fish for about 15 minutes, but we reeled it in and it was completely scaled.”
We dropped down again, in search of more snapper and once again the fish took the bait.
“When he got the bite, he knew it was the grouper,” Hare said. “I said OK, I think you just hooked that grouper again. Reel as fast as you can and lift up, and hope we can get the hook in that fish.”
Forty-five minutes later, the fishermen reeled in the impressive 350lb grouper and snapped many photos with it alongside the boat.
