Fruit flies are born, begin attending to their fruit-fly agendas almost immediately, then succumb to old age before witnessing a single change of season. Likewise, we live and die in the virtual blink of an eye. Unfortunately, we often ignore our own mortality and simply coast through our days without ever checking out the bowl of fruit on the other side of the kitchen. The life we hoped for can wait for another day, we think. But another day often slips through our grasp, and we learn that we can't wait another day . . . that if we are to live consciously, we must learn to live like a fruit fly, not tomorrow but at this very moment, the one we are experiencing now. We are responsible for creating our own destiny. Our gut, our instincts--the GPS we're all born with--will never lead us astray if we trust it. Silver linings--more fruit to feast on--will always be within reach if only we're willing to explore.
If you would like to put a little excitement in your life, come along for the ride! The detective stories in this book will give you a thrill and a smile. When I started my journey through life, through the eyes of a private detective, I started seeing the world in a different way. My detective stories shared in this book show the good, the bad, and the ugly of the American society. You, as the reader, can judge how the good got good and how the bad got bad. There is a saying that you can’t judge a book by its cover; as a private detective, you can’t judge people by their appearance, but it does seem that sometimes you can find the good in most people, even in the fast lane…
Over the last fifteen years there has been a significant growth in literature dealing with terrorism. Nevertheless, scholars within mainstream criminology have only recently begun to grapple with the problem of terrorism in a sustained fashion. In this provocative book the authors provide both an exposition of the contradictions that have emerged around the regulation of terrorism and an incisive analysis of the questions that the management of terrorism poses for the discipline. Focusing primarily on the processes and practices that have emerged in the United States and the United Kingdom, the book provides a critical account of the political construction, mediation and regulation of terrorist threat since the events of 9/11. The authors explore the ways in which new institutional modes of risk assessment based on the principle of pre-emption have impacted on individuals targeted by them. Noting the dilemmas produced by the pre-emptive turn, the authors also elucidate more recent moves to develop the idea of resilience in counter-terrorism and security policy. This book will be suitable for academics and students interested in political violence, terrorism, geopolitics and risk, as well as for practitioners and experts working in the security industries.

Philadelphia was essentially the birthplace of boxing in America, the city where matches first took shape in the back of bars. Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champ, fought more times in Philly than any other city besides his hometown; Sugar Ray Robinson, perhaps the best boxer ever, fought under his first promotional contract in Philadelphia, appearing there twenty times; and Joe Louis, one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, was trained by a Philadelphia fighter. In Boxing in Philadelphia,Gabe Oppenheim examines the rise and fall of boxing in Philadelphia, and how it often mirrored the city’s own narrative arc. Originating from the tales told to Oppenheim by a retired Philadelphia trainer, this history of boxing is drawn from personal interviews with current and former fighters and managers, from attending the fights in local arenas, and from watching the boxers train in their gyms. In this book, Oppenheim opens a window into the lives of such fighters as Jimmy Young, Meldrick “The Kid” Taylor, Teon Kennedy, and Mike Jones, telling with remarkable detail their struggles, triumphs, and defeats. Throughout, Oppenheim weaves together cultural history, urban studies, and biographical sketches of past boxers to create this comprehensive account of Philadelphia and its fighters. Featuring an array of photographs and exclusive interviews, this book captures the unique history of Philadelphia boxing. It will interest boxing fans, those who enjoy sports and cultural histories, and of course, native Philadelphians who want to discover more about their city and their fighters.

How do I get published?" Following the successful publication of his book, Live Like A Fruit Fly, Gabe Berman is asked this question more than any other. Do you know why you don't know how to get published? Because nobody does. And that's why the idea of writing a book is so utterly overwhelming. There isn't a map. You're on your own. Until now. Questions For You: Do you feel destined to be one of the great writers? Are you writing a book? Are you self publishing? Are you looking for literary agents? Do you want to sell books on kindle? If a writer fails at making people fall in love with their words, none of it matters. The Complete Bullshit-Free and Totally Tested Writing Guide reveals what is needed. If your goal is to self publish, sign with a literary agent for traditional publishing, sell books on kindle or even write a captivating blog, Berman's bullshit-free new book is a required reading. A Personal Note From The Author: Get comfortable because I want to tell you something. Ready? You're extraordinary. Yes, I have the right person. You. The person reading these words right now: you're extraordinary. Regardless of how you may feel in this moment and regardless of what you may have heard in the past, you are in fact extraordinary. How do I know? Because you're a writer. And writers, the ones who write from the gut, are absolutely extraordinary. But why should you listen to what I have to say? That's a valid question. I'm obviously not Mark Twain or Ernest Hemingway. I'm just Gabe Berman. I was just another ordinary person on this planet of ours. But like you, I chose to be extraordinary. The butterfly flapped its wings. The universe was set into motion. I wrote for the Miami Herald for eight years. My book, Live Like a Fruit Fly-The Secret You Already Know, was endorsed by Deepak Chopra. Look inside and I'll share what I've learned with you. "This amazing little gem of a book should be added to every author's or aspiring author's bookshelf (or Kindle) of must-read writing books. In fact, any person who plans to create anything -- writing, music, art -- can learn from Berman's book. I wish I had this practical, no-nonsense guide when I first started writing." - Rachel Thompson, three-time Kindle bestselling author, Broken Pieces, Mancode: Exposed, A Walk In The Snark
