Think Safety - First, Labels & Directions is a book calling for Standardized Safety LABELING of products found in and around the home and garage. From Poison Control Center Data, there is evidence that more than one million people are accidentally poisoned annually, including hundreds of thousands of children. Adults and the children under their care are in danger from chemicals for cleaning and other purposes that are being misused. There is a great need for Standardized Safety LABELING with Consistent Formatting, Concise Statements, Easily Understood Wording, and Clear Directions. This important information is presented in this book. It is then up to YOU. What are YOU going to do?

It's a book with 'Occupational Health & Safety' in mind. It's a philosophy using drawings and/ or words to teach people about staying safe, no matter what their age or educational background. You don't have to be a poet or writer to write safety messags; same as you don't need to be an artist of world renown to draw the pictures; you don't even need to be politically correct in what you say, although saying that, if you carry something too far then it goes into the category of discrimination. None of these three things save peoples lives, but people do and that is why it is so important to educate people of all ages about staying safe. It's a philosophy that can be tailor made for young or old. It's an easy concept, yet it has not been done quite like this before. Having spoken to health professionals about this project, they have been amazed and over whelmed by this project and the simplicity of it and even one health professional asked, "Why he had never thought of it before and then he wished that he had thought of this concept." So browse the pages, get some ideas and start being safe, because the life that you save may not be your own, but rather of someone in your family, friend or workmate. Lessen the odds...Reduce the risk...Be safe.

It would take only one unthinkable event to disrupt your way of life. A terrorist attack, a global pandemic, or sharp currency devaluation, and you would be forced to fend for yourself in ways you've never dreamed of. By the end of this book, you won't have a headful of useless information that you'll soon forget, but rather, dozens of new and practical urban-survival skills that will be hard-wired into your brain. Survival is more than just creating a solar still and rubbing sticks together. It is about using your knowledge base to improvise and become a tactical thinker. Of course this book will cover the basics, such as food and water storage, but it will also teach you black-market bartering techniques, hand-to-hand combat, weapons of choice, how to survive during a riot, and how to become a "stunt-double" driver if being followed or in the event of an attempted carjacking. It will also discuss developmental psychology in relation to coping with a disaster, veterinary antibiotics that can be used in place of human antibiotics during a crisis, protecting against nuclear fallout, as well as emergency heating, cooking, lighting, power, and much more. I promise a good kick in the pants as a wake-up call to all those that are still in dreamland that are not yet driven to prepare. I hope that after reading this book you will become a survival warrior, willing to stop at nothing in order for you and your family to survive

This is a unique safety and self-defense book. Zombie Safety and Self-Defense Handbook is designed to entice people, especially young people, to read it BEFORE they run into trouble. It includes a wide range of very practical ideas on how to avoid real monsters in today's world. And people in college and beyond may actually read it because it's not too melodramatic or morbid. High school students can benefit too, if they are not easily offended by references to alcohol, drugs, fighting, weaponry, and dating. It is brief, readable, up-to-date, and appropriately irreverent. The self-defense portion of the book is also different from other books. It is intentionally designed to be very simple and very practical. A person who practices the techniques is likely to actually remember them and use them if trouble presents itself.

Continuing in the groundbreaking format of "Lessons from Armed America" (co-written with Mark Walters and Kathy Jackson) "Lessons from UN-armed America" brings everyday self-defense stories to life. Mark Walters tells the story and Rob Pincus (one of the world's greatest personal defense trainers) follows it with analysis and commentary. You will learn from the experiences of others and, with the benefit of hindsight and many years of study and experience, the lessons you take away from this work may one day save your life.

Distracted driving is a behaviour dangerous to drivers, passengers, and non-occupants alike. Distraction is a specific type of inattention that occurs when drivers divert their attention from the driving task to focus on some other activity instead. Of those people killed in distraction-affected crashes, 408 occurred in crashes in which at least one of the drivers was using a cell phone (13% of fatalities in distraction-affected crashes) at the time of the crash. Use of a cell phone includes talking/listening to a cell phone, dialling / texting a cell phone, or other cell-phone-related activities. In keeping with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's distraction plan (Overview of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Driver Distraction Program, April 2010, DOT HS 811 299), the agency continues to refine collection of information about the role of distracted driving in police-reported crashes. This book examines data gathered on specific distracting activities to support the development of safety countermeasures and to conduct improved data analysis.

Self-Defense is more than kicking and punching; more than "stranger danger." It's also awareness, self esteem, body language and emotional boundary setting. Most of the attacks on women are not by strangers, but by someone they know. This unique approach to self defense, along with the author's own experiences, will give women and teen girls awareness skills to avoid a physical confrontation, as well as valuable tools to defend themselves physically should they be left with no alternatives. Rhonda Payne, a 7th Degree Black belt, will take you on a journey from naive and vulnerable, to confident and empowered. Find your own strengths and enhance your everyday life by reducing your anxiety associated with interactions with the outside world. Discover your inner black belt

It was a rough couple of years for the NBA's Minneapolis Lakers. But at least the 1959-60 season had a promising start. Team owner Bob Short had drafted college standout Elgin Baylor the year before and was rebuilding his team around this future superstar. Adding a new coach in the form of Jim Pollard along with a dose of hometown enthusiasm had fans looking up. The team even bought an airplane so they could play teams further away in the newly expanding NBA. Then something happened, completely out of anyone's control, that almost changed everything. On January 17, 1960 after a game in St. Louis, the Lakers boarded their DC-3 for the flight home. Perhaps the memory of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper perishing in an Iowa cornfield only 11 months earlier had faded. In any case, this flight would be like no other. For the first time in print, the co-pilot of that flight, Harold Gifford, tells the real, full story of what happened that almost wiped out the Lakers before that NBA dynasty even had a chance to really get started.
