In the Interests of Safety: The absurd rules that blight our lives and how we can change them

Does an airline pilot really need to surrender his tweezers at airport security when he's about to board an aircraft equipped with an axe on the back of the cockpit door? Can a mobile phone really cause a major explosion at a petrol station? And is there really a good reason why you should be prevented from swimming in a lake more than a foot deep?
These rules exist, and they exist in the name of our own protection. But in this engrossing dissection of global safety rules and security regulations, authors Tracey Brown and Michael Hanlon dig a little deeper to discover the real reasons behind many of the instructions we obey without questioning their creators' motives. Their conclusions range from the startling to the staggering, and in presenting them the authors seek to empower readers to question the people and organisations who come up with them in the first place.

America is facing a severe drug problem and it doesn't involve illegal street drugs.  Many Americans find it hard to pay for life-sustaining or life-saving medications for themselves and their families.    A study by a major pharmaceutical company has shown that almost one-quarter of nursing home admissions and 10 percent of hospital admissions could have been prevented if medications were taken as directed.  How many people do you know that have to choose between food or medication on a daily basis?    Many pharmaceutical companies have programs designed to assist people who can't afford their medications, but until now finding the information on these programs has been one of the drug companies best kept secret.    Each company not only has its own program but may have several programs for several different medications.  FREE MEDS explains all these programs with their qualifications, requirements and even necessary forms.    FREE MEDS was written for the seniors on Medicare with no prescription drug coverage, the average citizen who can't afford health insurance even though their incomes may be in excess of $30,000 to $60,000 a year, and anyone who needs medication but can't afford it.    FREE MEDS is the most complete resource of its kind ever compiled.

Can a cell phone cause a major explosion at a gas station? What would happen if the 3 oz rule at airports was abolished? And are all the child protection measures really making children safer? 
These rules exist in the name of our own protection, but has anyone ever stopped to consider exactly how and why? In Playing by the Rules, authors Tracey Brown and Michael Hanlon dig deeper to discover the real reasons behind many of the global safety rules and security regulations we obey without question, and their conclusions range from the surprisingly pointless to shockingly dangerous.
Does it make sense to surrender your nail clippers to board a plane equipped with an axe on the back of the cockpit door? And is there really a good reason to prevent an adult from swimming in a lake more than a foot deep? This engrossing study will inspire readers to question the people and organizations who come up with life's little guidelines – and empower you to live life to the full.

Working with the Moon is deeply rooted in the history of the Divine Feminine, led by wise women, healers, medicine women, and our own maternal ancestors who intuitively followed and worshipped the cycles of the Moon.Unfortunately, much of our intuitive knowing and maternal wisdom was lost during the burning times because our mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers learned the hard way that maintaining their silence was the only way to protect us.But the world has changed, and we have finally realised that the time for silence has ended. We are ready to step up and embrace the power we've always held inside, but have been disconnected from for so long.By reconnecting with the Moon cycles, and harnessing her natural rhythm, flow, and energetics, we not only remember, re-align, and become more complete, but we allow ourselves to dream bigger and manifest more powerfully because we're no longer restrained by the paradigm of fear.This book is an important part of our ancestral feminine healing-for leaders like you to step up, share your voice, speak your truth, and heal the collective by sharing the tools they need in order to heal themselves.There is no one "right" way to work with the moon, which is why Lunar Wisdom showcases the knowledge, wisdom, and magic of fourteen divine lunar women including Certified Moonologers, High Priestesses, Witches, and Coaches who incorporate everything from crystals, herbs, astrology, yoga, menstrual wisdom, and somatic principles into their own personal practices. Each woman's journey is unique in its own way and seeks to serve as inspiration for you to incorporate the elements that resonate for you as you craft your own, perfectly aligned practice.Lunar Wisdom features stories from authors including: Alyssa Fry, Amanda Norr, Erin Neuhardt, Jenny Alberti, Jess Johnson, Jessica Strubin-Homan, Kathryn Toomey, Lori Hernandez, Monica de Vitry, Ruth Fae, Sarah Tricker, Stephanie Moyer, Telisha Webster, and Tracey Brown.
