Find out by tuning in to AARP’s Inside E Street --- and learn why nearly 14 percent of U.S. adults get swindled each year and what you can do to protect yourself. Watch at www.aarp.org/tv or on PBS. Check your local listings for dates and times. The Psychology Of A Con Job Scammers know what we want: to feel secure, loved and valued. And they know that the older we get, the more we need peace of mind. To provide it, some use sweet talk, promising a solution to a problem: money for our shrinking nest eggs, companionship for our lonely hearts, a chance to show we matter. Others feign a problem that needs quick solving, perhaps with some warning about a potential danger. “The scammer's goal is to get you to not think rationally, to operate on an emotional level,” says Jean Mathiesen, director of AARP's Fraud Fighter hotline 800-646-2283, which provides counseling, education and victim advocacy. “To put you 'under the ether,' as it's called.” 3 aman zaman says: February 24, 2016 at 3:49 a.m. My predator told me he was crazy about me 2 days after he met me... I tried to tell him it was illogical and he said “you’re smart…” and trailed off. He knew what he was doing. Clearly, things turned out very bad in the end. I think it’s important to say “NO” more often than yes. Watch A Lion Get Handled By A Giraffe In Wild Planet Earth 2 Video Nature specials are usually filled with harrowing scenes of predators taking down prey. Well, Planet Earth 2 managed to catch a lion missing out on a grand opportunity with a giraffe. Take a look. Man. That giraffe was not playing around. If you're going to get attacked by a lion, it makes a lot of sense to just keep right on running if you can. Make that sucker chase you down and work for its dinner, right? Why let it jump at you and stop in fear? See if you can run the damn thing over while you try to get away. You might still get eaten, but at least it will slow that lion down and teach it that not all giraffes are an easy meal just because they're gentle and gangly. 4 Fraud, Pet Series, Sibling Rivalry Gain National Attention April 23, 2012 The Press In December 2004, Martin Frankel sat in a New Haven Connecticut courtroom and was sentenced to prison for looting about $200 million from insurance companies he owned. The subject of an international manhunt, he had been arrested in a posh hotel in Hamburg, Germany, where he reportedly had a stash of millions of dollars worth of diamonds and cash as well as fake passports before being extradited to the U.S. Intriguing tales of sado-masochistic sex and the suicide of a young woman had swirled around his Greenwich, Connecticut mansion. Yet Frankel’s downfall, it could be argued, began in Lake Township. In September 1991, The Press published the story of a Lemoyne Road man who had filed a lawsuit with a Sylvania resident against Frankel, claiming he had bilked them out of a combined total of $370, 000. The two also filed a complaint against Frankel with the National Association Of Securities Dealers, alleging fraud. 5 The Psychology Of A Con Job: Why People Might Fall For It Book: Scam Proof Your Life By: Sid Kirchheimer January/February 2014 AARP the Magazine Jerry and Deanna Fallses endured a perfect storm of negative events. In the space of eight months, a son, a granddaughter and Deanna's mother died. Another son was left unable to work by an accident. After falling behind on their mortgage, the Fallses sought a loan modification with mortgage holder Chase, but were denied. Scammers stepped in. “We were in a terrible state, and they knew it,” recalls Deanna, 74, a former real estate agent. They sent the Fallses a loan modification “approval letter” --- a bogus replica purportedly from HUD that detailed their Chase loan number, rate and balance. That information was probably obtained from public records, the Fallses were later told. They sent a $3, 500 cashier's check for supposed processing fees. That money was lost forever. But luckily, the couple held on to their home. U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D-Fla) heard about the case and interceded. Chase modified their mortgage. 6 How To Identify A Pedophile (Protecting Your Child From Predators) Community Q & A All parents want to protect their children from predators, but how do you keep your kids safe when you don't know how to spot one? Anyone can be a child molester, so identifying one can be difficult --- especially because most child molesters are initially trusted by the children they abuse. Read on to learn which behaviors and traits are Red Flags, what situations to avoid, and how to deter child molesters from targeting your child. But remember, not all pedophiles are child molesters, and having thoughts about children is not the same as acting on them. Moreover, someone who is better at interacting with children than with adults is not necessarily a pedophile. Wrongly accusing someone of pedophilia can cause severe depressions and social anxieties. Knowing The Profile Of A Child Molester Understand that any adult could be a child molester. There is no one physical characteristic, appearance, profession, or personality type that all child molesters share. Child molesters can be any sex or race, and their religious affiliations, occupations and hobbies are as diverse as anyone else's. A child molester may appear to be charming, loving, and completely good-natured while harboring predatory thoughts that he or she is adept at hiding. That means you should never dismiss the idea that someone could be a child molester out of hand. 7 Know that most child molesters are known to the children they abuse. Thirty percent of children who have been sexually abused were abused by a family member, and 60 percent were abused by an adult they knew who was not a family member. That means only 10 percent of children who are sexually abused were targeted by a total stranger. In most cases, the child molester turns out to be someone known to the child through school or another activity, such as a neighbor, teacher, coach, member of the clergy, music instructor, or babysitter. Family members like mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, stepparents, and so on may also be sexual predators. Know the common characteristics of a child molester. While anyone can turn out to be a child molester, the majority of child molesters are men, regardless of whether their victims are male or female. Many sexual predators have a history of abuse in their own past, either physical or sexual. Some also have mental illness, such as a mood or personality disorder. Heterosexual and homosexual men are equally likely to be child molesters. The idea that homosexual men are more likely to be child molesters is a complete myth. Female child molesters are more likely to abuse boys than girls. Be aware of common behaviors demonstrated by child molesters. A child molester often doesn't display as much interest in adults as they do in children. They may have jobs that allow them to be around children of a certain age group, or contrive other ways to spend time with children by acting as a coach, babysitter or neighbor trying to help. Child molesters tend to talk about or treat children as though they are adults. They might refer to a child as they would refer to an adult friend or lover. Child molesters often say they love all children or feel as though they are still children. 8 Look for signs of grooming. The term “grooming” refers to the process the child molester undertakes to gain a child's trust, and sometimes the parents' trust as well. Over the course of months or even years, a child molester will increasingly become a trusted friend of the family, offering to babysit, take the child shopping or on trips, or spend time with the child in other ways. Many child molesters won't actually begin abusing a child until trust has been gained. Some may use others opinions around them to back up their trustworthiness in order to take children shopping.

  • African Australian Communities and Hiv
    AFRICAN AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITIES Mapping HIV health AND HIV: promotion programs and resources INTRODUCTION HIV is an emerging issue for African communities in Australia. As with other migrants from regions with a high prevalence of HIV, African Australian communities can experience higher rates of HIV than the Australian population as a whole. While the actual number of African-born people in Australia who have been diagnosed with HIV is low, they may face a number of challenges that affect their quality of life, such as late and unexpected diagnosis; immigration issues; and difficulty accessing treatment while on temporary visas. African Australian communities are also adversely affected by the stigmatisation of HIV and the racist association of HIV with their communities. People in African communities may be more vulnerable to HIV due to myths and misconceptions around HIV transmission and illness, gender inequity, cultural sensitivities around talking about sex, and issues related to settlement in a culture very different to those of their countries of origin. WHY THE MAPPING? A range of programs and resources have been developed by NGOs and government agencies to address these issues - both for African communities and for other culturally and linguistically diverse CALD communities facing similar challenges. However because most of this work has been done at state/territory level, many service providers and health promotion agencies are not aware of valuable programs that have been implemented in jurisdictions other than their own.

  • Richard Bach
    The Bridge Across Forever: A Lovestory By Richard Bach Publication Date: October 1989 Publisher: Random House Publishing Group ISBN: 9780440108269 ISBN: 0440108268 Synopsis If you've ever felt alone in a world of strangers, missing someone you've never met, you'll find a message from your love in The Bridge Across Forever. Annotation Bach's first person account of his search for the soulmate he knew he was born to meet. a moving honest love story from the author of Jonathon Liningston Seagull. Review by Publishers Weekly An extended dialogue between Bach and his inner child comprises the latest book from the author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. While hang-gliding one afternoon, Bach is reminded of a promise he made to himself when he was a child: to write a book containing the sum of all he has learned and deliver it to his nine-year-old self, Dickie. But Bach finds that Dickie is angry and hurt at having been locked away for the last 50 years. Slowly a dialogue emerges, as Bach tries to pass on his years of experience and in return relives some buried memories, particularly the events surrounding the death of his brother Bobby. What results is a kind of Richard Bach primer, summing up the author's thoughts on time, love, death and God and laying out a belief system not unlike George Bernard Shaw's idea of the Life Force. Participating in this shared voyage of discovery is Bach's wife, who contributes her own insights and acts as a kind of reality check on her husband.

When you have success as a stand-up comedian, you quickly get offers to do a humor book. In the past, I always turned these opportunities down, because I thought stand-up was the best medium for me. In my mind, a book wouldn’t be as fun as just using my ideas for stand- up. So why did I decide to write a book about modern romance? A few years ago there was a woman in my life— let’s call her Tanya—and we had hooked up one night in L.A.

  • Inspired Relationships Ebook.Pdf
    Inspired Relationships By Dr John Demartini: Human Behavorial Specialist, Educator, Author and Consultant www.drdemartini.com Love is a synthesis and synchronicity of all complementary opposites. It is not the romantic, lustful infatuation that most people imagine it to be. It is a universal expression of life demonstrated 24 hours a day in every moment and every full awareness state. The principles and the methods presented here are applicable to every kind of relationship you will ever have; whether that relationship is your intimate partner, your relationship with your children, relationships to people in your social circles, your business colleagues, customers, clients or secret lovers, and even your relationship with yourself. Love of self is a prerequisite to loving others. They actually go hand in hand. Everything you see in others is a reflection of what actually exists within you, though you may be too humble or too proud to admit it. If you love yourself for all that you are; you are more likely to love others for all that they are because you lift your projected conditions and expectations. You recognize that each individual displays all the many human traits in their own way. Any trait that exists serves in some way or else it would have become extinct. It is not what happens to you as much as it is your perceptions. Love is all there is. Love is a synthesis of complementary opposites. It includes peace and war, good and bad, up and down, happy and sad and all other pairs of opposites. We live in a world of chaos and order and both make up a universal form of love.
