This book helps people understand how long they have the potential to live, based on scientific breakthroughs, and gives them practical daily tools to do that. How does this awareness improve our well being? When we are able to see the entire structure of our life we are better able to deal with the everyday challenges we confront. Due to advances in food production and distribution, as well as in medical treatments for later-life diseases, human life expectancy is increasing at a rate of about two years per decade. And yet, recent national health statistics present an alarming picture. 16 million people in USA have diabetes, over 30 percent of Americans are obese and if current trends continue most Americans will be obese by 2030, while 38 million Americans have anxiety and depression. We are living longer but are in general less healthy. Despite market saturation of quick-fix diet programs and faddish health advice, there seems to be a genuine lack for the enormous audience in need of a comprehensive wellness system which makes simple and pragmatic sense, is applicable in our daily life, and, most importantly, can be sustained over our entire lifespan.

In Before Conflict: Preventing Aggressive Behavior, John Byrnes gets to the heart of the concept of aggression prevention. Rather than look strictly at violence and all its implications fatalities, crime, and assault Byrnes instead chooses to look ahead, in order to prevent violence rather than simply to act in reaction to it. By using a unique methodology of 'Aggression Management,' those responsible for the safety of others may circumvent the standard practice of mere 'conflict resolution' by dealing with the problem before it creates conflict. Because everyone experiences and manages anger differently, 'Aggression Management' teaches readers not only how to measure their own aggression, but that of others as well. The result empowers the reader to stop problems before they even develop. This book is recommended for anyone responsible for the safety of others, especially people who work in the fields of education, health care and social services, law enforcement, the retail food service industry, and the U.S. Postal Service.

When Australian Don Laridis turns 37 he realises that it's time for a 'real' change. He chooses to relocate to South Korea, a country he knows very little about. Unbeknownst to him, the plight of the English academy that he's been recruited for is on the brink of financial collapse. Instead of running he opts to stay, reveling and losing himself in this uncertain situation. Laridis teaches English to farm kids, university students, corporate types and housewives - people immersed in a sometimes obsessive pursuit of a second language, even to the brink of murder. This factional story reveals his exposure to the idiosyncracies of a foreign culture, not just in the curious dynamics of private education, but also in the diverse characters he meets on the hoof. Bob Blunt peeks into the moral fabric of unfamiliar culture that's dealing with Confucian traditions and new found modernity. He narrates, prods, pricks, and observes while keeping us tight in step with the central character.

In the midst of listening to Elvis Presley's rock and roll and the soulful tunes of Ray Charles, Americans in 1962 must deal with the grim possibility of nuclear war. Fear hovers across the land, especially when President John F. Kennedy advises the nation to build bomb shelters and stockpile food. Known only to a few is the highly experimental American surveillance aircraft, the Blackbird. In order to protect the country, despite the uncertainty of the Blackbird's capabilities and the dangerous location of its destination, the American Security Council commits U.S. spy pilot Paul Hammond to fly the Blackbird and crack Russia's Iron Curtain. But the Soviets have a secret defense, one they're willing to use even if it means a nuclear clash with the Unites States. It's up to Hammond to penetrate their defenses and save the world from nuclear holocaust. Caught in between is Rachel Cummins a Washington insider who is actually Oksana Pavlodar-a Russian spy.

Regina Guitar and other Short Stories is a compilation of incarnate capsules: Flavored doses, seasoned with the human condition, and served up on the theatrical masks of tragedy and comedy.

The Serpents of the Caduceus: An exploration of the subconscious mind, that dark and foreboding chamber, inaccessible from the phenomenon we call reality. This story deals the terrifying nightmares, psychotic delusions and horrid hallucinations that plummet through the tormented brain of a mortally wounded soldier.A Fish Story: This is a tongue in cheek tale of a professional fisherman who wins big at a casino poker table, commits 'accidental' murder, and ends up with a Government Patton on a word known product. Tooter and the Tutor: A brief and funny narrative, revealing just how easy it is for a country boy to fool his summer school teacher. Humanity's Three Most Unusual Sneezes: A completely insane bit of slapstick comedy. A "documentary" which chronicles a trio of sneezes and the calamity and chaos rendered by each. Openers: This story offers insight into the "it's not my fault" life of a looser. When a beautiful woman sits down beside a socially handicapped bus passenger, he blames the world for his inability to think of a pickup line. Cowboy Shootout: A Texas Ramrod on a cattle drive to Kansas must ride his horse backward, and mistakenly herds his Moos to Yuma, Arizona. There, a reluctant cowpoke is forced to protect his lovely lady from Awful Alvin Aggravation, the meanest outlaw and fastest gun this side of the Pecos. Hector the Pup: The cute and cagy puppy shenanigans of a cunning canine whelp, desperate to find food for his injured father.

Andrew Tarlow, the acclaimed owner of Diner, Marlow & Sons, Marlow & Daughters, Reynard, and the Wythe Hotel, is credited with putting the Brooklyn dining scene on the map. In his debut cookbook, he collects a year's worth of memorable feasts and intimate dinners, inspired by the food from his restaurants. Andrew Tarlow's restaurants are characterized by food that is straight-forward without being boring, beautiful without being fussy, and crowd-pleasing without being dumbed down. He brings this same keen eye for what people want to eat in Dinner at the Long Table, a cookbook organized around a year of menus ranging from intimate gatherings to blow-out celebrations. From large, festive paella parties to celebrate the end of summer, to lazy, mid-winter slow-cooked ragus for intimate pasta dinners, Tarlow's recipes are evocative of a time and place, and bring all of the romance and joie de vivre of a meal in one of his restaurants into the home. This beautiful, usable, and very personal cookbook is an invitation to live well throughout the year. From the Hardcover edition.

In the food court at the Greenville Mall, Jessica LeCroix drops a bomb: "I'm a lesbian." Ramie Grant cannot believe her ears. Jess! Her best friend, her teammate…a homosexual? It's all way too much for Ramie to handle. I can't deal with this right now. It's just a matter of time before others on the basketball team find out. Quickly, little jokes become vicious attacks, making Jessica even more reluctant to share an even bigger secret. Ramie and fellow teammate BJ want to do the right thing, except so far, everything they do has backfired. In the end, Ramie must decide if she will stand by Jessica's side or turn her back on a friend in need.

In Taming the Tycoon by Amy Andrews, by real estate tycoon Nathaniel Montgomery is one deal away from making his first billion and fulfilling a promise to his dying father. Nothing will stop him from tearing down the decrepit St. Agnes hospital and erecting posh condos in its place. Not even the crystal-wearing, health food store owner whose publicity stunt lands him in the hospital. After her brush with death five years ago, child prodigy Addie Collins learned what's truly important-health, happiness, and the two-hundred-year-old rose garden at St. Agnes. To make amends for the accident, she agrees to pose as Nathaniel's girlfriend at his eccentric grandmother's birthday party. But Addie has an ulterior motive. To repay her debt to the universe, she must show him there's more to life than making money. Nathaniel hates to lose, but as she breaks through his defenses, losing himself in Addie's arms might be exactly what this tycoon needs…

I guess this story really starts five years ago in February. I was given the telephone number of a gay porn producer, who was desperate for a model. I was told that if I called him, there was a chance of a job in Tenerife. I had been living in Inverness for the last 5 months, and it is extremely cold there in the winter. The chance of getting away to the sun appealed to me. The only problem was the trip was leaving from Gatwick in 2 days time and I was stuck up in the very North of Scotland."The guy on the phone sounded OK. He told me that he had a model drop out last minute from a filming trip and he needed a replacement. He explained to me about the trip. How he couldn't afford to pay me a fee, but I could have free travel, hotel, food and drink. A week's holiday in the sun, fully paid for! He said my part of the deal would be to let him film me having sex for about 4 days. There would be two scenes a day and the other models were cute."This is the story of Stewart, a 20 something-year-old who gets invited on a porn shoot in the Canaries. It's the stories of ten guys told through Stewart's eyes. Their pasts, their hopes and most of all the shoots. It's graphic at times and contains some unhappy times. But it does contain some great porn film moments.

She helps us gain insights into the everyday aspects of life so that loving energy can flow through all of our chakras, especially the heart chakra, and we can refrain from by-passing our hearts.
