Respect Yourself, Protect Yourself by Lorena Garcia Pdf

Exploring young Latina youth's sexual agency, education, and expression While Latina girls have high teen birth rates and are at increasing risk for contracting sexually transmitted infections, their sexual lives are much more complex than the negative stereotypes of them as “helpless” or “risky” (or worse) suggest. In Respect Yourself, Protect Yourself, Lorena Garcia examines how Latina girls negotiate their emerging sexual identities and attempt to create positive sexual experiences for themselves. Through a focus on their sexual agency, Garcia demonstrates that Latina girls’ experiences with sexism, racism, homophobia and socioeconomic marginality inform how they engage and begin to rework their meanings and processes of gender and sexuality, emphasizing how Latina youth themselves understand their sexuality, particularly how they conceptualize and approach sexual safety and pleasure. At a time of controversy over the appropriate role of sex education in schools, Respect Yourself, Protect Yourself, provides a rare look and an important understanding of the sexual lives of a traditionally marginalized group.

Protect Yourself from Legionnaires' Disease by Matthew R. Freije Pdf

Tens of thousands of people contract Legionnaires' disease each year, 5 to 30% of whom die from it within a few days. You can get the disease while showering, brushing your teeth, drinking water, washing your face, bathing in a hot tub, or walking by a decorative fountain. Legionnaires' disease is not rare. People just think it's rare because over 90% of the cases go undetected. Many deaths attributed to pneumonia are actually caused by Legionella bacteria. In simple language, Legionella expert Matt Freije explains how to avoid the disease in public places-for example, in hospitals, office buildings, and hotels-and how to reduce your risk at work, at the dentist, and from various types of equipment like misters, cooling towers, decorative fountains, hot tubs, and whirlpool bathtubs. The book starts with facts you need to know about Legionnaires' disease: causes, symptoms, susceptibility, death rate, diagnosis, undetected cases. The survivor stories in chapter 2 will make you realize how horrible the disease is, and that it can affect anyone. The last chapter tells how to avoid the disease at home. Advice is given about faucets and showers, water heaters, softeners, filters, humidifiers, and home construction.

Chapter 3 How to get started Chapter 4 The Cardinal Rules of Gun Safety Chapter 5 Parts of a Gun Chapter 6 Learning to Fire your Gun Chapter 7 Practical Shooting – the sport Chapter 8 When you are under attack Chapter 9 Additional Safety Precautions Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Did you know that since the beginning of time, women and children have always been the focus of violence, especially brutality at the hands of their fellow beings? The cases of crimes against women and children have been a part of social life for centuries, and that is why self-defense against such incidents have also been a part of training and upbringing in many parts of the world down the ages. Different items for self-defense have been used down the centuries, by different peoples, and also training to protect oneself from harm has also been the way of life. However, such warrior training was stopped in the 19th and 20th century in many parts of the West, because people were more concerned about training their children either for a profession or for taking care of a family. That is why these self-defense and body strengthening exercises slowly and steadily went out of a normal day to day’s activities. From the 16th century onward, the idea began to be promulgated, that it was the man’s job to protect the woman, and it was sinful for a woman to think of anything to protect herself, because she was doing something which was contrary to her nature. Well, these were the dark ages.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES by Olivier Manitara Pdf

Due to the abundance of communication technologies: Internet, radio, television, telephone... and the omnipresence of electromagnetic fields: sockets, household appliances, computers, antennas, electricity pylons, counters, motion detectors, surveillance devices..., the space around us is saturated with waves of different frequencies that we do not see, but that pass through us permanently. We thus evolve daily in a kind of invisible mesh, an electromagnetic web that considerably influences our nervous system and consequently, the whole subtle part of our being.
