A gold-digger is often associated with a marriage or attractiveness based on high status and wealth. Images abound where an alluring woman (or women) is seen in loving embrace with her well-off, older (sometimes much older) beau, fiance or husband. It is notably a relationship grounded on avarice and false love, rather than on true love. It is precisely here where the similarities with a "chapiadora" begin and end in this book, since I provide a rather different, more nuanced conceptualization of this personality.To delve into the world and mind, and heart of a "chapiadora" is to transcend a particular country, culture, subculture, gender, and even class or age. What is revealed in this book points to a much more complex and often harmful world phenomenon that too many of us are unwilling to discuss out of fear or embarrassment.This short story purports to be a true-to-life account. It takes a deep look into the behavior and mind-set of a "chapiadora", which, when studied side by side, I call the "Anatomy of a chapiadora". It is my sincere hope that this short account will be useful in averting emotional and economic upheaval in people's lives.

His loving devotion soothes her spiraling struggle from the toll of multiple traumas. This is a painfully sad story. But there is hope... there is always hope.

The Palm Beach P.I. aims to be more than just a collection of crazy cases and stories from my career. By sharing my personal experiences, I hope to convey the journey of Faith, Redemption, Love, Loss, Tragedy, Grief, and Hope, that have led me where I am today.Albeit while simultaneously dodging bullets, drug-dealers, hookers, and some of the most eccentric characters I have ever met in my life.More so than the cases themselves, this book is about the people I have met throughout this strange and unique career path. Some have changed my life in profound ways, some have transitioned from clients to friends, a few have tried to kill me, and some I would just as soon forget. But a desire to help people is the fundamental reason for what I have chosen to pursue as a profession. And the reason for writing this book is the hope that, by sharing my experiences, my successes and my failures, my insight, as well as the mistakes I have made along the way, I am able to reach and help others whose paths I may have never otherwise crossed. The question I continue to ask during this journey is the one I have asked myself numerous times throughout my life. What are we here to do?This collection of stories chronicles some of the most interesting, comical, and bizarre cases from my career. But it is also an exploration of my faith journey and how that brought me to the path I am currently navigating. The desire to help others led me to the work that I do, but my faith in Jesus has literally saved my life and lifted me out of the pit of grief and despair. My intention is to provide a message of hope and show that through helping other we help ourselves heal. I endeavored to make the content entertaining, but it is my sincere hope that something in one of the stories may help change your perspective in a meaningful way. Whether that be in opening your heart and mind to the contemplation of your faith, or simply just getting involved in helping other people in whatever way you are able. As crazy as it has been, I love what I do and I hope that comes across on these pages.-Frank Ciatto, the Palm Beach P.I.

Being neurodivergent means having a brain that functions differently than the dominant societal standards of "normal."Technology isn't the only field that can benefit from people with ASD. Microsoft launched an Autism Program to specifically hire individuals with autism. Things like being a team player or great communication skills don't highlight what an autistic person can add to a company.While there are many benefits to hiring people with autism, the interviewing process can often be a stopping block.Many people with autism report that they aren't able to get a job because they don't interview well. For many, the interview process was the part that was most stressful.Roughly 60% of people with ASD have average or above average intelligence, yet 85% are unemployed" an article published by Harvard Business Review called Neurodiversity as a Competitive Advantage.Some people with ASD are a natural fit in the tech world.People on the autism spectrum exhibit signs and symptoms differently.The social aspect of employment is often the most difficult for people with autism.Some people on the spectrum do something called "masking" or "camouflaging." This essentially means that they do their best to pretend they're not autistic in order to fit in.Autism in the Workplace explains how to create a productive environment for an Autistic Employee, how to make modifications, how to successfully interview people with ASD, and provides simple changes to accommodate ASD employees.

If you had to describe your life's goal in one sentence, what would it be? For me, it is simple: To learn how to love and accept myself unconditionally.It is easy to get lost in the chaos of our everyday living. Even when we are consciously searching for our purpose and our identity, we often look to others to fill the void, answer our questions, or assuage our loneliness and our happiness. But the only true answers come from within. When we allow others to determine our worth and diminish our authenticity, we literally give away our most sacred power. The power of Self-determination. Once we acknowledge this pattern, our universe begins to shift. We transition from living in the land of "conditions" (both self-imposed and imposed by others) to living and loving ourselves unconditionally. My journey to learning to Love Unconditionally took me on a bumpy road as I struggled to accept and love myself through loving someone with addictions, suicide attempts, mental illness, parenting, codependency, deaths, and forgiveness. I hope that my life lessons will help you rediscover your voice, your identity, and the ability to love yourself unconditionally, just like I did. Once we recognize our biggest challenge is establishing proper boundaries, accepting a new love within ourselves (and others) we realize that our worth is non-negotiable... with anyone. Rediscovering your identity can be frightening as you navigate the "unbecoming" of everything you knew or thought was in your relationships. I hope you live a truly happy life, always knowing YOU are enough for you.

The Day After is a true story drawn from the power of human psychology and mental strength.

Grandchildren Conferences and Workshops? People are surprised and want to know what they are. Our motto for these special get-togethers was "to have fun while learning". Who could have imagined that our first get-together would be followed by so many meetings? Just recently, one of the grandchildren asked me if we were planning another workshop? To quote some participants:"The first thing is about the learning. I never felt that I enjoyed learning before. I do enjoy it here." "If we would enjoy 20% of the things that we learn in school like we do here, we would enjoy school much more and be much better students." "With each conference the standards are higher and more challenging." "I enjoyed the bazaar and the lectures and especially everyone's participation." From one of the plays "A Small Debate" between 9 distinguished scientists. Franklin: All of us are important and this is the reason that we were invited to Grandchildren Conference 5 "Smile With Science".Da Vinci: Grandchildren Conference? I existed before all of you, and in my time, there was no such thing. Maiman: I attended many conferences on physics. I heard about conferences in chemistry, art, architecture, medicine, ... but I never heard of Grandchildren Conferences."From Conference 6I was busy shopping, cooking and during it all, missiles were being launched into Israel, first into the south and soon into the rest of the country
