A Republic, If You Can Keep It

At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin "Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy." Franklin replied, "A republic . . . if you can keep it."A republic is different from a democracy. In a pure democracy, the majority has unlimited power, whereas in a republic, a written constitution limits the majority and provides safeguards for the individual and minorities.The Founders' intent at the national level was a representative republic. The word democracy is not mentioned in the Constitution. Most of the Founders distrusted pure democracy. A Republic, if you can keep it, presents the genius of our Founding Fathers in the creation of a new form of government. It contains the author's views and the truth contained in the thoughts, writings and the original intent of the patriots who bequeathed to us this legacy of untold value.

Sherman Jacob. the owner/operator of snoopwiki.com accidentally acquires information regarding an international arms dealer doing business in his north-suburban Chicago neighborhood.

The Society of Jesus was founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, "for the greater glory of God." Since then, their mission has been deeply involved in education, both for themselves and for their students. It is no surprise to learn that a Jesuit may have multiple post-graduate degrees, speaks several languages, and is reasonably well read and well spoken in most academic disciplines. And a Jesuit is now the Bishop of Rome. Pope Francis took his name from Francis of Assisi, and has begun his pontificate in the humble manner of his namesake. People hope for great things from Pope Francis, only time will tell if those hopes will be realized. Words are the basic elements of any culture. The English language is rich in words from many sources: Greek, Latin, modern languages, as well as words from literature, popular culture, business, and technology. The Oxford English Dictionary has full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. The average American has a vocabulary of between 20,000 and 35,000 words - roughly ten percent of the language. The size of a your vocabulary increases as you read. Knowing words is good. Knowing how to use words is better. This book contains a list of 2,300 "Jesuit Words," or, words that the average person does not necessarily have in their working vocabulary, but nonetheless are worth knowing. And remember, knowing a word is different than knowing how to use it. Read these words for fun, and your vocabulary will increase. Use them properly, either in your writing or in your speech, and your erudition will shine for all to see. But, like a Jesuit, use them humbly. There's nothing worse than a lexiphanes who uses big words pridefully.
25 Things A 16 Year Old Should Know: Keys To Creating A Life You Love

25 Things A 16 Year Old Should Know is based on a conversation I had with our daughter one night when she was 16 about what she wanted to do with her life. As we spoke it struck me that there were three things that each of my successful friends had in common, and it didn't matter if they'd grown up rich or poor, what race they were, where they were born, if they were male or female, gay or straight. I mentioned this to my daughter, Emma, who was intrigued. Then I remembered that I had a presentation on my iPad called "19 Ideas for Success" that I had shared for years with new stylists as well as beauty school and high school students, yet I had never shared it with her. I asked if she'd be interested in hearing some of the wisdom I'd acquired over the years. To my delight she said yes, and just like that this book was born. Though this book was inspired by a conversation with my 16 year old, the 25 ideas shared in this book allows anyone over 16 to find the keys to create a life they love. This book shares 25 ideas that help people create success that might still be asking themselves "I don't know what I want to do when I get older" and "I don't know what to do with my life" moments. As Artistic Director for a few of the top beauty brands in the world, including some Fortune 500 companies, I have been fortunate enough to teach in more than 15 countries on five continents. The advice I'll share in this book, is truly universal. I have collected these ideas from people I've met in Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America. I've divided the book into three parts. In the first, which focuses on success, I'll share the three things that all of my successful friends have in common. In the second, which focuses on money, I'll share the three things that all of my friends who are financially secure have in common. In the third, I'll share the 19 ideas I've collected over the years from very successful people who have kept me from getting in my own way as I've moved through my life. I look forward to sharing 25 Things A 16 Year Old Should Know with you.
Ex-army-turned-criminal-for-hire Michael Stewart thought it was just the run-of-the-mill assignment: break into the brick house, retrieve the file, and leave. But what he doesn't know is that he's only a pawn in a much bigger, sinister plan. Things start to get spicy when he chances upon Libby, a svelte blonde on a mission to retrieve the same file that Michael was sent to get. The secrets, confusion, and utter distrust for each other spark a kind of twisted attraction that neither of them could make sense of. And they give in to the magnetic lust between them, making them spiral in a never-ending dance of tongues, bare skin, and mind-blowing sex. Yet, questions still loom over their heads. Who is Frederich McMasters, and why was he killed? Better yet, who killed him? What lies ahead for these two seemingly star-crossed lovers?

A Bike Trip Across America: A 3,411 Mile Journey of Discovery

For most people, the idea of biking across America would seem like an impossible undertaking. If you were told you would be spending 20,000 minutes on your bike seat to cover a distance of 3,000+ miles, it would seem like lunacy. It appears even more improbable if you include crossing hot deserts, sandstorms, tornados, scary thunderstorms, remote stretches, soul sucking headwinds, flood plains, steep inclines, treacherous declines, trucks blasting by you two feet away at 80+ mph, hunger delirium, costly bike repairs, and mangy stray dogs chasing you down while you bike up a hill. Oh . . . and add in possible nefarious characters you might bump into including biker gangs, the Russian mafia, serial killers, ghosts, and even perhaps, a UFO sighting. The idea of biking across America was so far out of my comfort zone that my imagination ran wild and placed my fear gauge on overdrive. It was all part of trying to achieve the seemingly impossible goal of biking across America self-supported. In today's workaholic society where busyness, wealth, and status are celebrated, and yet over 70% of workers are unsatisfied, I wanted something different. I wanted a mission that excited and inspired me. I wanted to physically and mentally challenge myself to take on a bold, audacious goal that scared the shit out of me. Biking across America without external support fit the bill. In the following pages, I share my journey of discovery as I first bike down the California coast before heading east from San Diego to Amelia Island, Florida. I share the fears that almost stopped me from starting, the various adverse situations I had to overcome, the many amazing people I met, the epic landscapes I experienced, and the triumph of accomplishing a seemingly impossible dream. While my main motivation for riding across America was the challenge of biking from the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean, it turned out that the rewards were not simply conquering the physical and mental challenges but more so in overcoming my fear and personal demons, experiencing the power of kindness from strangers, learning lessons including what is humanly possible, and most of all, recognizing what a great country we live in. In this travel memoir, I put you in my seat, experiencing the day to day grind and mystery that makes this 3,411-mile journey of discovery so rewarding. Enjoy the ride
