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
So you had a stroke was berthed from my own stroke. While I was
still in rehabilitation, I wanted to produce something to help both
stroke victims and their families. I have taken some years to get
this written; I believe it will be a great source of help to those
people. Actually, I think every adult should read this book,
because our knowledge of Brain Injuries only comes when someone has
suffered; It is my hope to help prevent stroke.
The world is changing every day. It's not the relaxed, safe place
we once knew when we were children. These days, it is wise to
understand your surroundings, have better awareness and be able to
defend yourself if needed. Those who say, It always happens to
someone else, never me may regret those words if and when a tragedy
strikes. Having the confidence to face our new culture is important
for a happy and healthy life. The book includes: Effective
self-defense techniques explained in simple terms Easy to follow
pictures to help you practice at home Practical tips that can keep
you out of trouble Identification of vital targets and pressure
points to maximize effectiveness Master Mike Andrus has learned and
developed effective techniques from many years of training in
multiple styles of martial arts. For this book he has selected what
he feels to be the most effective practical self-defense techniques
for women to use to defend themselves against an attacker that may
be bigger and stronger. His book, seminars, classes and workshops
teach self-defense for individuals and their families. The training
includes practical techniques designed to properly defend against
attackers in a home invasion, car invasion and other scenarios
related to real-world violence. His street-proven self-defense
techniques also include awareness drills and tips to keep you out
of trouble. Keen awareness, practical self-defense techniques and
the confidence to protect yourself are necessary in today's world.
Staying in the Moment The concept of staying in the moment came
about from his research of how women generally respond to danger
events and why. Women have a flinch mechanism and usually close
their eyes and turn away from danger or perceived danger. This
reaction can cause a big problem, as you can guess Turning away
from something coming toward you can be very dangerous. You can't
see what is happening, and you won't be able to respond properly to
the situation. By understanding the reactions, Mr. Mike was able to
design his program to educate women and help them change the way
they respond and react to external encounters. The result is that
by using the principles he teaches, women are more confident and
more aware of their surroundings. They can also respond properly
and focus by staying in the moment to resolve the conflict. The
training involves some meditation, awareness drills, education,
self-defense and the element of surprise techniques, as well as
discussion about applying what you learn. Being able to apply what
you learn is KEY The results have been amazing. We are finding that
these principles and techniques can be used successfully in every
area of our life. Women (anyone for that matter) can utilize these
principles during medical exams, conversations with their boss or
coworkers, when traveling and even at home with family and friends.
The principles allow you to concentrate quickly and focus on what
needs to done at that very moment. The result could be the
difference between life and death What is interesting is that
staying in the moment is not always about conflict resolution. By
doing things with intent you can change the moment, the rest of
your day, or the rest of your life These principles help you focus,
do things with intent and get the results you desire. Wishing
everyone a Safe Day
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.
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.
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.
