Let's face it, even in this day and age, sexism still exists. Women can be ignored, talked down to, or misinformed about many things cloaked under the guise of male-dominated markets-particularly gun buying and ownership. But owning a gun isn't a guy thing. It's a right and privilege to which we all are entitled, regardless of gender, and women need to approach the shopping and shooting scenarios with confidence so they can make informed decisions; avoid costly mistakes; and, ultimately, realize the joy, security, and peace of mind that come with gun ownership. A positive, easy-to-use guide for first-time or novice gun buyers, "A Woman's Guide to Gun Ownership" empowers women with the knowledge they need to shop for, purchase, and own a firearm. It explains the fundamentals of how guns work, the different types of firearms available, and their usage for home defense, as well as offering tips for how to combat bias when talking with gun shop employees, friends, and family members. Additional features of this must-read text include interviews with female gun owners and information on websites, clubs, organizations, and other resources to which women can turn to further expand and understand their ownership experience.
Involving the grape funs, fox mother and the cub, this comprehensive guide in viticulture transforms the foxes from the Aesop's fable to the vineyards of France (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley, Rhone), Italy (Campania, Piedmont, Trentino, South Tyrol, Ottavianello), Sicily island (Noto, Pachino), Germany (Bavaria, Thuringia, Wurttemberg), Austria (Styria), China (Shandong), East Europe, Australia, South America, and the valleys of the USA, to classify the world's most reputable wines based on the vintage (grape variance) and appellation (estates). This mini-bible meticulously explains the brewing nuances and pitfalls for each wine. If you have a passing knowledge of wine and wish to go for the next level, there is no better place to proceed than this book. On comparative examples, it teaches how to evaluate the wines based on the sight (angle view, side view, tilted view, swirl, ullage, cork), sniff (flaws, aromas), and taste (balance, body, complexity, harmony, completeness). It describes the perfect wine-food pairs for each inclusive wine, from simple recipes to delicatessen. Written and illustrated in a pourquoi tale genre, this guidebook is an elating journey and has something for everyone.
"The American chemical industry, having taken control of agriculture, has achieved something never before accomplished in the history of mankind: humans who are simultaneously overfed and undernourished...and poisoned." The GMO Food Poison Handbook is a summary of GMOs (genetically modified organisms), 'food products' created by Monsanto and other chemical companies. In simple terms it describes how the various GMO 'food products' create biological and medical problems, including birth defects, cancer, and diabetes. To better inform the reader, the Handbook provides simple descriptions of 20 body organs which are affected, as well as the nature of allergies, obesity, and cancer - and the male and female reproductive organs, including the fetus in the womb. As an interesting part of the description, the function of each body part is explained - so the Handbook is also a 'Biology for Beginners' in clearly explaining basic biology with illustrations. Most disturbing are the results of studies which reveal that these GMO 'food' toxins remain inside of our intestines and continuously reproduce The reader will also learn how the GMO crops poison the world's soil, water, and air, and destroy the natural habitat of bacteria, bees, and fish. A ready reference book, the GMO Food Poison Handbook provides a clear summary of studies from renowned research scientists in thirty (30) countries (with links to those studies for those who wish to see them in depth), and comments from journalists around the world.

Nobody likes bad customer service, as a customer you want to feel loved, and feel like you're being treated well, or at least fairly, by whatever company you are dealing with. Things go wrong however, thats a fact, we don't live in a perfect world and companies do make genuine mistakes. We have to live with that, but often they are things that could be avoided, and with a little thought on the side of the company you are dealing with, be more palatable for you as one of their customers. In this book, I'll explain how to complain effectively, or, if you dislike the word 'complain'; how to make a point, and receive something to make that pain a little better. I'll explain how to get as close to the top of a company as you need to get to obtain the result you want; I'll explain what to do, and how to do it, so that in the majority of cases you'll get something back from the company that broke your customer experience. But why should you take my advise? Well.. I've not only worked in customer service centres, I've also been the one doing the complaining on more than one occasion. People who know me have often asked how I get results, and how I've managed to get the gratuities or good will gestures I have from companies. For over 10 years I've followed a few key points when I've needed to complain to a company. In some of those cases the resulting outcome has been financial, 50 credited to my account, reversal of a charge, a gift voucher, a reduced bill, or obtaining an item for free. In other cases the result has been to fix the issue, and go beyond to provide the service that should have been provided initially. In all cases what I've obtained has made the pain of a company lets say, 'making some mistakes' a little easier to swallow.

You wake up very sweaty and you start to realize that this was actually a nightmare. You get out of bed and prepare to go to work. On your way, you stop to place the numbers for a $245 Million Power-Ball. You consider your dreams and you place the following numbers: 34,12,36,3,14,10 The next morning you check your ticket, you jump up with joy because you have won the US biggest Power-Ball.

Learn to unlock the power of your dreams by converting images into lucky numbers and try them on lotto or power-ball games. You will be amazed how your dreams can make you rich. The research shows that the Fa-Fi game comprises of 36 numbers which translate to the 360 degrees of the UNIVERSE composition. The Earth revolves around the Sun and forms a perfect circle. The game of Fa-Fi follows the same pattern and that is also complimented by the DREAMS that the universe is communicating with. The great people of South Africa have had the ability to convert these symbols and images into meaningful numbers. The game of Fa-Fi follows rules that are definite to THE LAW of 36. When most people say they have dreamt of numbers, in dreams mostly, numbers are limited to, at maximum, 3. It is the images the numbers are attached to, that they can be able to wake and remember their numbers. A person can dream of a traffic sign that shows a speed limit of 36, which when a person immediately wake up and notice the odd speed limit (possible most end up with a 5 or a 0. like 60 or 75). This will have a person to recognize the odd numbers and write them down and start placing their bets on them. The book explains imagery and symbols that we dream about every day, and some of them are so much recurring, we seem not to understand why. The universe is telling you something and because you are not taking your dreams seriously, the dreams reappear and until the message is understood or the happenings have taken place, the dream fades away.
