About the Author

If you are reading about me then I am sure you know about Luminous which is great. I am a South-Sudanese- Australian, I was born in Ethiopia, and raised in Kenya. I currently live in Adelaide, South Australia with my family. I have a degree in Social Science (Human Services). I have a passion for life and helping people to live their best lives. I am a spiritual person; I believe that my relationship with God has helped me to overcome many battles in life that could have completely broken me. I have been through a few trails in life, but I have overcome with grace and resilience.

Interesting facts about me:

  • God is first
  • I am a passionate person, I put my all into anything I do
  • I am sometimes misunderstood because I am so passionate
  • I love myself as I am (my teenage insecure days are long gone, hallelujah!)
  • I have zero tolerance for nonsense!
  • I am never afraid to voice my opinion (I keep it real)
  • I am a 100 percent human (plus the God in Me so am I really 100 human?) find out in the next book…..
  • What’s interesting about me is that these interesting facts might not be that interesting after all..huh! (I am keeping my real interesting facts to myself) 😊
  • Last but not least, I don’t know you, but I have love and respect for you because you are human (let’s be kind to one another!)

GPS: Your Guide to Navigating Change

Get help with:

  • Where to start with change and how to get a handle on what’s just happened.
  • Knowing when to take action and when to step back and allow life to unfold.
  • The steps you can take to understand change and work with it, instead of against it.
  • Tips on what you can do to influence change in your world.

Any life change is a journey. There’s a starting point when your world begins to change, an end point when you think you’ve made it through, and a pathway between the two. That pathway can have twists and turns, roundabouts, and hairpin bends, or it can be a direct line from start to end.

The GPS consists of three key tools to help you on this journey:

  1. A compass,
  2. A road map, and
  3. A travel guide.

The GPS as a whole gives you a systemised way to proceed through life’s challenging, confusing, and overwhelming moments. It isn’t the crystal ball you’d sometimes like to have in times of change, but its structure will give you reassurance when everything else seems out of control.

Using the road map, compass, and travel guide, you’ll come to approach change (and life!) from a completely different perspective. Change is usually uncomfortable, it can even be a little (or a lot) scary, but with the GPS you have a strategy that keeps you on track, and in tune with where you’re at along the way.

Choosing and Bringing Up

Your Puppy

In this witty no-nonsense guide to puppy selection and training, veteran dog trainer Peter Franks, gives the facts, poses relevant questions to the reader  and provides instruction on how to train a new puppy so that she or he matures into a well mannered, loving and responsive member of the family.

There are many photographs, sketches, cartoons and True Stories to help illustrate what Peter has to say.

Peter gives advice on:

  • how to identify the dog breed which best suits you and/or your family
  • where you can look for a puppy
  • what you need to get for and how to prepare your home for the new family member.
  • toilet training
  • consecutive training instructions – the sit, stand, down, recall, the stay,  walking and place up (heel).
  • There is a chapter on rescue dogs, another on what Peter calls the fear factor and yet another on how to deal with common behaviour problems such as separation anxiety and dominance.

In the Appendix there is information on Obedience Competitions. Peter uses the Companion Dog – Novice Class Competition as an example to:

  • state the Australian National Kennel Council Rule Book requirements
  • tease out what the rules mean
  • provide training tips for each exercise in the Competition.

About the Authors

Peter would like to thank his wife June for her support, encouragement and advice over the past 55 years. There are several others who have influenced him throughout his competition years, dog training career and Judging role. Pat Baily for her help in training his Golden Retriever Woody for the NSW State Titles Competition (Woody won the Novice Gold Medal). Thanks to George Bartolo for encouraging Peter to become an instructor, to Lucy Ellem who was his mentor and who gave Peter the incentive to join the NSW Canine Council and then to undertake his training to become a Judge. And to Danny and Silvia Wilson of BarkBusters™ for their encouragement over the years.

A special acknowledgement must go to Dog behaviourist John Fisher (author of “Think Dog”) who completely changed Peter’s approach to dog training from negative training where harsh words and actions are used, to positive training in which dogs are rewarded for trying and/ or doing something correctly. Beverly would like to thank her husband Daniel for his encouragement to get a dog; a dog who has improved their lives in so many ways.

Peter and Beverly would also like to express their gratitude to Kyle and Erin Charnock for allowing them onto their property and Eraky Labradors kennel at his farm in Bargo; to Wendy Donahue of Golden Retriever Rescue Inc for allowing them to use information directly from their website and for information on Roger.

Also thanks to the Committee of the Illawarra Dog Training Club for allowing us to attend a training session and to take photos while there. They really appreciated Noah’s mother Ros Southhall, for giving us Noah’s story and photo. There are many of Peter’s clients who have generously allowed their dogs to become part of this publication. Last but not least, we acknowledge Denis Ivaneza’s photographic expertise (Inner Visions) in getting some tricky shots for us.

The User’s Manual For Your Body

  • HOW THE BODY HANDLES THE FOOD WE EAT
  • WHY WE GET OBESITY AND BECOME SICK
  • HOW TO CURE IT AND STAY HEALTHY

Your body is the most sophisticated thing in the Universe, and you should view it as your most treasured possession. But you did not arrive in this world with a user’s manual that tells you how your body works, particularly in relation to the food you put into it, and what goes wrong when you do things differently to how you have evolved.

Two thirds of western society are either overweight or suffering from obesity. This a potent source of unhappiness, extending in many to anxiety, stress and clinical depression. But there’s also a significantly increased risk of serious diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis and diabetes. If you contract any of these there’s a very good chance you will die prematurely.

Statistics show that what we are currently doing is clearly not working. And that’s because people simply don’t know or have been given the wrong information. The User’s Manual For Your Body provides in simple terms everything you need to know.

About the Authors

JOHN ARONIS

MBBus (Acc) GradDipCA MComm MA (PAIS) CA CTA

John was born in Sydney, and was raised in Brisbane with some of his childhood spent in Goondiwindi, Murgon, and Yeppoon. He now calls Brisbane home (or, more correctly, Pine Rivers Shire!)

He has a Bachelor’s degree in business, a Master’s degree in Commerce, and a Master of Arts in Political and International Studies. He is a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor, and is Principal of his accountancy business based in Brisbane.

John has experienced a personal battle with obesity for many years, and like many individuals was left frustrated and totally confused by the lack of authoritative information on how best to deal with it. His personal story can be found in his bio video.

After studying the topic extensively and putting into practice the Nysteia Formula he has now reached his biological optimum weight (BOW). And importantly, he will never again become overweight and progress to obesity.

With his good friend and business partner, Dr Andrew Renaut, he has developed Nysteia and put all of this experience and knowledge into the one place, so that others may derive the same benefit.

When he is not working, John likes to maintain his physical and mental wellbeing by continuing with the Nysteia Formula on a daily basis.

John is a trained classical guitarist, but can damn well play the blues on a Fender Stratocaster, and shares this guitar passion with Andrew. He also enjoys flying planes, walking in rainforests, and practicing the Japanese martial art of Aikido in which he holds the rank of 3rd Dan Black Belt. As often as he can, he returns to Osaka Japan, which he considers paradise on Earth.
