Wooding D: Sixty, Not Out

Sixty, Not Out

Surviving Jay Peak

Welche Bedeutung haben die alten Mythen unserer Vorfahren heutzutage und was haben sie mit den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart zu tun? Weitaus mehr, als viele glauben. In allen Zeiten, in denen gesellschaftliche und politische Unsicherheiten zunehmen oder technologische Entwicklungen unsere Welt rasant verändern, rücken die alten Geschichten wieder ins Bewusstsein. Dieses Buch zeigt eindrucksvoll, dass Mythen weit mehr sind als romantische Erzählungen aus vergangenen Jahrhunderten. Sie sind verschlüsselte Handlungsanleitungen für Krisenzeiten - und wer sie richtig liest, entdeckt darin Strategien für Mut, Verantwortung und Wandel.

Der Autor verbindet fundiertes kulturgeschichtliches Wissen mit moderner Analyse und macht deutlich: Die alten Erzählungen von Walhall, Siegfried oder den Göttern der Edda sind nicht nur kulturelles Erbe, sondern praktische Lebenshilfe in unruhigen Zeiten. Sie erinnern uns daran, dass es der Einzelne ist, der Entscheidungen trifft, wenn die Gemeinschaft zu zaudern beginnt. Sie zeigen, wie man aus Chaos Ordnung schafft und warum das Vergessen dieser Geschichten eine Gefahr für jede Gesellschaft ist.

Dieses Buch richtet sich an Leserinnen und Leser, die sich für Mythen, Geschichte und kulturelles Gedächtnis interessieren - und an all jene, die in der Gegenwart nach Orientierung suchen. Wer erfahren möchte, warum unsere alten Geschichten nicht nur überliefert, sondern verstanden und genutzt werden sollten, findet hier Inspiration, Denkanstöße und konkrete Handlungsimpulse.

Ein unverzichtbares Werk für alle, die in den alten Mythen nicht nur die Vergangenheit, sondern die Wegweiser für eine selbstbestimmte Zukunft erkennen.

My Book: 1 Evil Thing is based on true events while other characters are given different names. These events are based on facts and are true events that happened and are inspired by the Noelle Chagolla case-my friend who was murdered long ago. Through time-compelling facts came about this one evil thing that I want the world to know about. Hopefully, readers are reached with love and understanding of life, how precious it is to live and care for others like how we would care for ourselves, given that life should never be taken for granted when it can easily be taken from us. So live every day gracefully and greatly. Never be evil to others. Always live and love.

1 Evil Thing

In the fall of 2000, a veteran NYPD detective with a record of always catching the bad guy is tasked with tracking a serial rapist. But this is no ordinary criminal. This guy seems to be uncatchable, and something has to give.
Knock-Knock is the true story of the intense search for a ruthless rapist posing as a maintenance worker before invading the homes of his innocent victims. He terrorizes a community of young women, many of whom are in their early teens. No one in New York City is safe, as these attacks and sexual assaults continue for the better part of a decade.
The detectives of the elite Special Victims Squad form a citywide task force and dig deep in their arsenal to draw him out. Due to the fact that he poses as a plumber and knocks on the doors of his prey, the press calls him the Knock-Knock Rapist. The detectives in the task force refer to him as Citywide 6, the case number assigned.
This story is told in the words of the lead detective, who vows to find this monster and bring him to justice, a task that will seem impossible at times, as this suspect is cunning, street-smart, brazen, and at times, very lucky. He narrowly escapes capture on three separate occasions, taunting the detectives along the way.
Obsessed with his capture, the lead detective will take you along on a roller-coaster ride as he tracks down the most elusive rapist he has ever encountered.

Knock - Knock

Peter Grimes - charismatic con man, or misguided, thrill-seeking adventurer?
The incredible exploits of American Peter Grimes, the most audacious con artist of the twentieth century, reads like a wildly far-fetched Jazz Age novel, but it is all true. Given life's gifts in abundance, he used those gifts in all the wrong ways. Grimes grew up in the Pennsylvanian coal mining town of Scranton. However, ordinary life was never going to be an option. He had surrendered to an irresistible urge, a microbe he called the Wanderlust. Grimes certainly kept the authorities busy as he plied his trade across the globe. But would the piper eventually have to be paid?Hoodwinked is the first biography to meet the challenge of untangling Peter Grimes' life story. What really compelled him to carry out his breathtaking scams? What part did family background and opportunity play? And why do victims fall for swindlers such as Grimes?Cathy Koning's curiosity was initially piqued by the discovery of two love letters written by Grimes from Borneo. She was astounded to discover deception, and creativity, on a grand scale. Peter Grimes was the ultimate chameleon who took his cue for his next adventure from current events, new technologies, and even other con artists, with prison no deterrent whatsoever.Grimes connected with everyone from dare-devil aviators Phil Parmelee and Cliff Turpin, boxer and film actor Frank Moran, shady players in President Harding's administration, Hearst journalist Basil Woon, British aristocrat Baronet Hartwell, Buster Keaton, Tigran Sarkies, the owner of Singapore's Raffles Hotel, to the notorious religious cult leader William Riker, and Canadian shipping magnate Robert Dollar. He clearly knew how to work the room.Grimes also drugged and substituted a Norwegian sailor for himself in Japan in order to escape a second prison term in San Quentin. A top-level US government cover-up followed, kept hidden until now, as was Grimes' highly secretive, and highly profitable, bootlegging ventures with racketeers Waxey Gordon and Frank Costello during Prohibition.Lavishly illustrated, Hoodwinked is riveting reading for anyone searching for thought-provoking true crime and narrative non-fiction. 
Hoodwinked Testimonials

"Koning masterfully combines a biographical history of Peter Grimes, whilst keeping her reader on the edge of the seat. How on earth does he get away with it? You can't but help compromise your moral compass with sneaky admiration as he weaves his way to become one of the world's most creative and notorious con men." Sandi Keane-former Editor-in-Chief, Michael West Media and Editor, Independent Australia

"In Hoodwinked, Koning has created a spellbinding tale from the real life story of Peter Grimes, the charming and intriguing con man who grifted and lied his way across the world. His wild ride of a life will make you doubt that it could be real, but it was, and Koning's research is impeccable. A must read!" Alex de Fircks-Family Historian and Writer

"The extraordinary story of Peter Grimes and his daring escapades is so remarkable, it could easily be the plot of a movie. Through meticulous research and heartfelt dedication, Cathy Koning brings his incredible journey vividly to life." Fran Yeoh-Author of Christmas Island Archives website

The Extraordinary Life and Times of American Con Artist Peter Grimes

Hoodwinked

Das Coronavirus - Die Ära mit der Aura

Es gibt noch etliche Menschen, welche an den Folgen der Pandemie leiden. Aber der Großteil der Bevölkerung hat das Thema Corona verdrängt. Dies verhindert jedoch, dass man aus der Pandemie etwas lernt, was bedauerlich ist, denn die nächste Pandemie kommt bestimmt. Ich habe mich von verschiedenen, auch ungewöhnlichen Blickwinkeln und vor verschiedenen Hintergründen mit der Coronazeit beschäftigt. Dabei ist eine ganz persönliche Sicht- und Erlebnisweise entstanden, welche sich nicht mit der bloßen Aufzählung von dürren Fakten zufrieden gibt.

Das Coronavirus - Die Ära mit der Aura Bd.1

Pandemien, Kriege, Klimanotstand: Auch in der Vergangenheit haben die Menschen verheerende Katastrophen erlebt. Was können wir aus ihren Erfahrungen lernen?

Die Corona-Pandemie, die Klimakatastrophe, neue Kriege in Europa und im Nahen Osten: Wir scheinen vor einer noch nie da gewesenen, fatalen Extremsituation zu stehen. Doch in den letzten 800 Jahren haben die Menschen in Europa schon mehrmals der 'Apokalypse' ins Auge schauen müssen und die beginnende Endzeit befürchtet. Im 14. Jahrhundert hinterließ die Pest eine Spur der Verwüstung. Im späten 16. und 17. Jahrhundert verursachte eine Klimaverschlechterung eine quälend lange Serie von Hungersnöten, Seuchen und Kriegen. Im 20. Jahrhundert brachten Krieg und Vernichtung menschlichen Lebens in bisher ungekanntem Ausmaß die politische und moralische Ordnung auf der ganzen Welt aus der Balance. Diese extremen Szenarien markieren Brüche und gesellschaftliche Belastungsproben. Der Historiker Hartmut Lehmann erklärt leicht verständlich, was die Katastrophen für die Menschen in ihrem Alltag bedeuteten und was davon sie in Erinnerung behielten. Er fragt, welche Rolle Verschwörungstheorien bei all diesen Ereignissen spielten und wer als Sündenbock herhalten musste. Nicht zuletzt geht es darum, welche Lektionen aus den existentiellen Bedrohungen der Vergangenheit uns heute helfen könnten, die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit zu bewältigen.

Faith in the American Dream--the idea that anyone who works hard can achieve success--has waned in the 21st century. Decreases in economic mobility, increases in the wealth gap, and other economic shifts have undoubtedly influenced this decline. Politics, however, are an overlooked contributor to confidence, or lack of confidence, in the American Dream. In Debating the American Dream, political scientist Elizabeth Suhay investigates how politics and political identity are intertwined with beliefs about the American Dream and the causes of inequality. &gt; Suhay finds that both Democrats and Republicans tend to adhere to their party's economic narratives when identifying the causes of inequality between rich and poor, White and Black and Latino Americans, and men and women. Democrats and liberals often attribute inequality between these groups to societal causes, such as lack of access to education and jobs or discrimination. Republicans and conservatives, on the other hand, are more likely to blame individuals and lower income groups for their difficulties. However, Americans' beliefs are less polarized when they consider socioeconomic inequalities rarely debated by politicians. For example, when asking Republicans and Democrats about the roots of rural-urban and White-Asian inequality, there is no clear unequal opportunity-individual responsibility partisan divide. Suhay argues that the availability of partisan "scripts" helps to explain differences in the public's views on inequality between groups that have been politicized. These beliefs appear to bolster support for the two parties' policy agendas among party supporters, driving a wedge between Democrats and Republicans in support for redistributive economic policy as well as the political candidates who support or oppose redistribution. Debating the American Dream provides fascinating insights into politics' role in Americans' beliefs and attitudes concerning inequality.

How Explanations for Inequality Polarize Politics

Debating the American Dream

Grounded in riveting real-life stories, In Pursuit of Truth pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of art, antiques and antiquities. With candor, wit and decades of first-hand experience, the author exposes the deceit, dishonesty and fabrications that have shaped the market for centuries. From Manhattan's glittering auction houses to the shadowy networks of looted antiquities, readers are taken inside the intrigues of collecting: why some works of conceptual art command obscene prices, how illicit money flows distort the market and why the museums and critics we trust are not always as reliable as they appear. Along the way you'll encounter sovereign wealth heists, grave-robbed treasures and the blind eyes of even the world's most prestigious institutions.Intended for collectors, scholars, art lovers, journalists and the freshly curious who want to understand not just the beauty of art, but the power, money and deception behind it. Readers will learn how to navigate a world where provenance is often paper-thin, why markets rise and fall on ego as much as talent and what it truly means to seek authenticity in a culture built on illusion.Unlike other books that romanticize collecting or simply recount scandals, this one is part memoir, part exposé and part cultural history. Written with both seriousness and humor, it invites you to see the art world through the eyes of a seasoned collector, money manager, part-time artist and lifelong seeker of truth.
