Book Description
Are you a smoker, but still concerned about your general health? Kicking the smoking habit is very difficult. Studies show that addiction to tobacco is stronger than the addiction to either heroin or cocaine. While quitting smoking is certainly a worthwhile objective, it can be extremely difficult or even impossible for some people. However, fear not. This book by Dr. Health & Fitness can show you how, as a smoker, you can become healthier than many of today’s non-smoking Americans. As Dr. Health & Fitness points out, becoming healthier as a smoker can make the future transition to non-smoker much more realistic by gradually reducing the body's need for niсоtinе and the many оthеr addictive chemicals found in сigаrеttеѕ. Everything is easier when you are healthier and feel better. Following the guidelines in this book, such as keeping tabs on the levels of oxygen and antioxidants in your blood, taking a few natural supplements such as green tea extract, detoxing regularly through saunas or a massage, and adding a few vegetables to your diet can affect a real improvement in your general health and the health of your lungs. You will be happier, healthier, and perhaps in the future, readier to quit smoking completely. Following the guidelines in this book would be a great place to start.

Book Description
The Smelter explosion in the early hours of Aug 8th 2000 became a watershed moment for the company, its employees, family members and all residents of Flin Flon. Like 9/11, nothing would ever be the same again. We must always be open to rethinking the way we do things. Change must be constant. To go to work each day without getting hurt has to be an expectation we all have. In Flin Flon, the last fatality prior to the smelter explosion had been five years earlier. That had been the longest period between fatalities in the company's history. There has not been a work - related fatality in the 19 years since the explosion, but that is not to say the battle to create a harm-free workplace has been won. We could so easily have had fatalities many times over the years. Sometimes the outcome was a question of sheer luck or twist of fate, a matter of inches, or seconds making the difference between life and death. It is all the more important to revisit and communicate the important lessons learned from them. I have included many of them in the second part of this book under "Work Shouldn't Hurt" along with other examples I have experienced in my 49 years in the work force. Lessons can be learned every day. They can apply to everyone who goes to work. It doesn't matter if you are a CEO, Manager, supervisor or worker, everyone is an important cog in the wheel. Examples given and discussions throughout this book are not intended to demean or point a finger at any individual, group or company. They are purely used as learning opportunities to help people recognize and understand that sometimes it is only incredible luck or good fortune that they don't end up seriously injured, or even killed. The examples are mostly centred around heavy industry, but many similar occurrences lay dormant in many workplaces, and even outside the work environment. To reiterate, this book is not about blame or finger pointing. It is an attempt to capture and understand the circumstances that led up to the explosion and what goes into a recipe for such a disaster. Seldom is anything made from one ingredient. Similarly, a disaster is usually triggered by more than one single event or "ingredient". The fatality list that is included in this book demonstrates the tremendous sacrifice employees have made over the history of Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting. Many workplace safety and health regulations have been implemented as a direct result of lessons learned. The list does not cover the tremendous number of accidents that did not result in death but did inflict life-changing injuries. Every name on the list represents a son, brother, uncle, husband or father, and many represent every single one of those relationships, which left wives without husbands, children without dads.

Smoke But No Fire
Author: Jessica S. Henry
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520385802
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
2020 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards Winner, Silver (Political and Social Sciences) Winner of the Montaigne Medal, awarded to "the most thought-provoking books" The first book to explore a shocking yet all-too-common type of wrongful conviction—one that locks away innocent people for crimes that never actually happened. Rodricus Crawford was convicted and sentenced to die for the murder by suffocation of his beautiful baby boy. After years on death row, evidence confirmed what Crawford had claimed all along: he was innocent, and his son had died from an undiagnosed illness. Crawford is not alone. A full one-third of all known exonerations stem from no-crime wrongful convictions. The first book to explore this common but previously undocumented type of wrongful conviction, Smoke but No Fire tells the heartbreaking stories of innocent people convicted of crimes that simply never happened. A suicide is mislabeled a homicide. An accidental fire is mislabeled an arson. Corrupt police plant drugs on an innocent suspect. A false allegation of assault is invented to resolve a custody dispute. With this book, former New York City public defender Jessica S. Henry sheds essential light on a deeply flawed criminal justice system that allows—even encourages—these convictions to regularly occur. Smoke but No Fire promises to be eye-opening reading for legal professionals, students, activists, and the general public alike as it grapples with the chilling reality that far too many innocent people spend real years behind bars for fictional crimes.

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Dave Jones is one of the most respected managers in football, who took Cardiff City to the FA Cup final, Wolves to the Premier League, and Stockport to their highest ever league position. But few fans, if any, could possibly identify with the anguish and turmoil that blighted his life. A staunch family man and loving father of four children, Dave's world was turned upside down when, while manager of Premier League Southampton, out of the blue he was charged with child abuse relating to his time working as a care worker. As he fought to clear his name from these totally false allegations, supported by his loyal wife Ann, who will also reveal her thoughts, Dave lost his job and, tragically, his father. What he didn't lose was his determination to tell his side of the story, even in the face of threats from those who sought to finish him. Now, in unprecedented detail, Dave reveals the effect the traumatic episode had on him and his family, identifies those he believes were responsible - and explains how, against all the odds, he picked up the pieces and resumed a highly successful managerial career.

And I Only
Author: Hattie Annie Jones
Publisher: eBook Partnership

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Saturday, 7th October, 2017 was the Day of the Shattering. Sixteen months on from the death of my only child by his own hand, and as my husband of 34 years lay gravely ill in hospital, my life as I knew it was revealed as a sham. Everything I knew about my husband, our marriage, our lives disintegrated into unreality and illusion. My identity as an intelligent, perceptive woman became fragmented - so who was I?And I Only is a combination of memoir, fantasy, personal essay and self-help, with an accent on mindfulness in daily life. It explores the nature of experience and truth, knowledge and belief, reality and illusion and forgiveness and revenge, using humour to punctuate the darkness and disintegration of Hattie's life. She draws upon her knowledge of history, folklore, mythology and archetypal imagery as she navigates the aftermath of the death of her only child by his own hand and the unmasking of her dying husband's secret life. We all tell ourselves stories about our lives, and different people may have competing and conflicting versions of reality. Whose reality is real? How do we know who we are? And I Only charts Hattie's struggles with these questions as she remembers that the only choice she has lies in how she responds to all that has happened. Moment by moment, she must find the resilience to rebuild her shattered life.

Book Description
A philosopher takes a second look at sayings, proverbs, and bits of homespun wisdom: “Every society needs its guardian of good sense: Baggini is ours.” --The Financial Times These short, stimulating, and entertaining capsules of philosophy delve into the familiar words that live in our consciousness yet are rarely examined. Should you really do as the Romans do when in Rome and practice what you preach? Is the grass always in fact greener on the other side of the fence, and is there ever smoke without fire? Is beauty always in the eye of the beholder and is it actually better to be safe than sorry? From the popular author of The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten, cofounder of The Philosophers’ Magazine, and academic director of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, this is a witty, deeply thought-provoking reminder that we should never stop asking questions.
