Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This inspiring title offers many ways that readers can adopt a greener lifestyle without going overboard. Illustrated with photos, this is based on the author's own experiences. Insted of going cold turkey, there are many small lifestyle changes that will ultimately make a big difference." - Connie Krochmal, Bellaonline You’ve been wondering how to reduce your eco-footprint but are intimidated by the idea that nothing less than installing solar panels and going off the grid will work. Nonsense—no need to be scared off by all that “green” noise. You have two goals: saving your money and saving resources—and you can do that by making quiet, gradual changes over time and still living your life the way you live it now. This is not about ripping out all the offending objects in your house in one afternoon and upgrading with the latest in high-tech green toys. The author outlines how he and his wife first began making small changes around the house to save electricity. They cut their power bill in half. Then they moved to recycling and brought their garbage down to almost nothing. Chip Haynes walks the reader through every low-impact, low-tech solution—from power to recycling to shopping to transportation—with the important distinction that it won’t cost you more than you save. You can live light and go green the easy way, within your budget and stress-free. You really can. Wearing Smaller Shoes is all about making small changes over time, and staying comfortable with everything you do. It’s about going green without having to brag about it. (But you could if you wanted to.) Chip Haynes is a graphic artist and writer living in the center of suburbia in Pinellas County, Florida, with his wife, the lovely JoAnn.

Download or read book Free Your Feet written by Transcend Your Limits, and published by Stefan Z. This book was released on 2022-02-17 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free Your Feet is a brand new look at the lifestyle of walking barefoot. Your shoes are actually making your feet WEAKER. You’ve been training your feet to be weak, your whole life. In fact it’s worse than that, by wearing shoes you’re stopping your body discharge dangerous atoms known as ‘FREE RADICALS’ which if left untouched with no escape contribute to (or directly cause) many chronic conditions. Free radicals are BAD! They’re so bad in fact, that they’ve been linked with the causing or acceleration of dozens of really serious, fatal diseases. And we all produce them every day, in our bodies. Now you’re probably thinking, why would our bodies produce them if they’re dangerous? And it’s not that they’re so bad, it’s just that if TOO MANY are produced and left for TOO LONG in the body, they start causing problems, pretty rapidly. And that’s the problem. We used to walk everywhere with no shoes on, and discharge our free radicals into the ground every night and all throughout the day. But now, what do we do? We insulate our feet with rubber shoes, so the free radicals stay in the body. Now, feet aren’t the whole problem, it’s also diet, and I’m sure you’ve heard the term ‘antioxidant’ and know it’s good for you in some way? This is very much the same thing. So free radicals can be FLUSHED from your system by waling barefoot, IN THE RIGHT WAY and at the right times. More on that later, but there’s more... Your POSTURE when you wear shoes When you wear a shoe, you posture and muscles suffer massively. You can’t notice it though, and it can’t easily be seen by looking at someone. That’s why most people don’t know they have a problem. That is, until they end up at the doctors because their spine is out of line, or their neck is seized up, or they have knee or foot problems.. Or anything else like that! You see, posture problems aren’t obvious usually, unless they’re REALLY bad. That doesn’t mean they’re not serious though. By wearing shoes you’re actually damaging your posture and health, and you’re making your muscles weaker. You have probably been fooled by the marketing of big shoe companies to think that you need their shoes for the ‘arch support’. That’s not the case. You need the arch support BECAUSE you’re wearing the shoe.. Not the other way around. So if you just took the shoe off, you wouldn’t need the arch support. Think about it, no animal is born with shoes, and no human is either. We don’t need them, but more importantly, they’re damaging our feet and posture among other things. Every day that you wear shoes, you’re making your feet weaker, and more likely to become injured in the future. The muscles and stabilising tendons around the foot and legs are NOT used when you wear most types of shoe. In fact, they’re just left to wither, to the point that MILLIONS of people suffer every year from foot troubles that would be avoided if they didn’t wear shoes. It’s like if you broke your leg and used crutches. The crutches help at first, but if you KEEP using them, you don’t build up the strength to walk on your own. Your muscles fade away, and eventually, you’re weaker and not able to walk properly. It’s the same thing with shoes, every day you wear them, you’re making your feet weaker, because they don’t ever NEED to develop the muscles and tendons that you were born with, to enable you to walk unaided. So anyway, I obviously ended up doing a lot of research on all of this, over the years. That research became more and more in depth and interesting, and I thought I’d finally put it into a book format and offer it to you guys. I’ve presented it in a really interesting and informative way in this guide, but in a way that’s actually fun to read. I’ve created a detailed PDF book guide to walking barefooted, and why you’d want to do so. I explain lots of things in this guide.. What you’ll learn in ‘Free Your Feet’ In the detailed, concise PDF guide you’ll learn the following: Exactly how traditional shoes damage your feet, ruin your posture and cause all sorts of foot related problems How to start walking barefoot safely, and get ALL of the best benefits with none of the risks How to reduce the number of free radicals in your body which can improve many areas of your health and fight all the negative effects we mentioned before The types of shoe that AREN’T AS BAD for your feet as most (But the chances are, you’ve never heard of these, and they look TOTALLY different to what you’d expect) How to ground yourself even if you don’t live near any actual ground or soil/grass How big shoe companies trick you into needing or wanting shoes, without really having anything to back up their claims The most dangerous type of shoe you could possibly wear, and why it’s so bad for you! The strange thing you can do to release free radicals and neutralise the inflammation in your body How to carefully walk barefoot and do it safely in adverse weather conditions which most would consider too dangerous to walk barefoot in The secret to building up ‘foot armour’ that will enable you to walk over conker shells, thorns and even glass within just a few weeks My massive mistake that I made when first starting to walk barefoot, and how you can avoid doing the same thing What 90% of people who walk barefoot are actually doing WRONG and how you can do it right Plus of course, loads more.

Download or read book This Victorian Life written by Sarah A. Chrisman and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir, part micro-history, this is an exploration of the present through the lens of the past. We all know that the best way to study a foreign language is to go to a country where it's spoken, but can the same immersion method be applied to history? How do interactions with antique objects influence perceptions of the modern world? From Victorian beauty regimes to nineteenth-century bicycles, custard recipes to taxidermy experiments, oil lamps to an ice box, Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman decided to explore nineteenth-century culture and technologies from the inside out. Even the deepest aspects of their lives became affected, and the more immersed they became in the late Victorian era, the more aware they grew of its legacies permeating the twenty-first century. Most of us have dreamed of time travel, but what if that dream could come true? Certain universal constants remain steady for all people regardless of time or place. No matter where, when, or who we are, humans share similar passions and fears, joys and triumphs. In her first book, Victorian Secrets, Chrisman recalled the first year she spent wearing a Victorian corset 24/7. In This Victorian Life, Chrisman picks up where Secrets left off and documents her complete shift into living as though she were in the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Can You Put on Your Shoes by Yourself written by Shoko Kasugai and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second photo-picture book edition from the author of "How to Choose Infant Shoes in Japan!" The previous book, "Do You Know How to Wear Shoes?" is for children 0, 1, and 2 years old who need adult assistance when putting on shoes. This book, "Can you put on your shoes by yourself?" is a picture book for 3, 4 and 5 year olds who are ready to put on their shoes by themselves. It is full of shoe quizzes! By answering the quiz, children will naturally learn how to wear and choose shoes in a fun way! ーーー Afterword Many children don't re-fasten the belt every time they put on their shoes, even though it has a belt! If that is the case, the shoes cannot be fastened to the feet even though there is a belt attached to the shoes. The value of the belt is lost. In my previous book, "Do You Know How to Wear Shoes?" is for children 0, 1, and 2 years old who need adult assistance when putting on shoes. This book is for children who have learned to put on their own shoes. Children love quizzes. I created this book because I wanted to create a book in which children could naturally learn how to choose and wear shoes while solving quizzes. I want children to get into the habit of wearing shoes properly and play to the fullest without foot problems. Shoes create that environment. I would be happy if more children can wear shoes properly by themselves, play a lot, and grow up healthy. Shoko Kasugai

Download or read book Barefoot Walking written by Kendall Dayne and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fans of barefoot running believe wearing shoes hinders their natural stride, causing pain and injuries. But it's not for everyone. So is this trend right for you? The big difference is in how your foot strikes the ground. Runners who wear shoes tend to strike the ground with the heels first. This gait, called a heel strike, generates a force up to three times the body's weight, which can lead to injuries. In contrast, barefoot runners land on the balls of their feet, generating less impact when their feet strike the ground. What if there was one simple way you could feel younger and more energetic? Are you frustrated with activities that used to be fun? Is moving getting harder for you every year? Would you enjoy having young people say they wish they had your energy? It can all begin with learning how to use your feet right again! After over 10 years of running barefoot, Laura is more active at the age of 58 than she was in her 20's. She wants to share how this is possible for you. Learn why you need to let your toes do their job and how it will make movement more fun! Find out how myths about feet might be keeping you from dancing like the stars. Discover how feet interact with your knees and spine to put more spring in your step!

Download or read book The Beauty Bias written by Deborah L. Rhode and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It hurts to be beautiful" has been a cliche for centuries. What has been far less appreciated is how much it hurts not to be beautiful. The Beauty Bias explores our cultural preoccupation with attractiveness, the costs it imposes, and the responses it demands. Beauty may be only skin deep, but the damages associated with its absence go much deeper. Unattractive individuals are less likely to be hired and promoted, and are assumed less likely to have desirable traits, such as goodness, kindness, and honesty. Three quarters of women consider appearance important to their self image and over a third rank it as the most important factor. Although appearance can be a significant source of pleasure, its price can also be excessive, not only in time and money, but also in physical and psychological health. Our annual global investment in appearance totals close to $200 billion. Many individuals experience stigma, discrimination, and related difficulties, such as eating disorders, depression, and risky dieting and cosmetic procedures. Women bear a vastly disproportionate share of these costs, in part because they face standards more exacting than those for men, and pay greater penalties for falling short. The Beauty Bias explores the social, biological, market, and media forces that have contributed to appearance-related problems, as well as feminism's difficulties in confronting them. The book also reviews why it matters. Appearance-related bias infringes fundamental rights, compromises merit principles, reinforces debilitating stereotypes, and compounds the disadvantages of race, class, and gender. Yet only one state and a half dozen localities explicitly prohibit such discrimination. The Beauty Bias provides the first systematic survey of how appearance laws work in practice, and a compelling argument for extending their reach. The book offers case histories of invidious discrimination and a plausible legal and political strategy for addressing them. Our prejudices run deep, but we can do far more to promote realistic and healthy images of attractiveness, and to reduce the price of their pursuit.

Download or read book The Seventh Victim written by Joanne Spencer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past there have been a series of attacks on white and Asian women in a local neighborhood, and the police was under pressure to solve the cases. Tyrone Briggs was charged with aggravated assault in the crimes. Tyrone Briggs was a 19 year old high school basketball star who, at the time of the crimes, was living in the Yesler Terrace. Since the attacks had all happened in the same area, during the same early morning hours, they were considered the work of a serial attacker. Because of the close proximity of the attacks to the hospital, they became known jointly as the "Harborview Rape Case." Harborview Medical Center was next to a public housing project "The Yesler Terrace" run by the city. Tyrone Briggs had lived in Yesler Terrace with his parents, brothers, and sister for about a dozen years and was living there at the time of the attacks. Hundreds of young black men lived there, and the police were picking up those between the ages of fourteen and thirty for questioning. A police stakeout was conducted in the neighborhood to try to catch the assailant during this time. The general description given by the witnesses (most of whom were the victims of the assaults) at the time of the attacks describe a man who did not fit the descriptions of Tyrone Briggs, and the police officers had no reason to detain him. When the trial began the prosecutor seemed adamant that Tyrone Briggs was the attacker of those women. The frustrating injustice of the whole case made the Briggs family blood boil. Joanne Spencer couldn't imagine how it felt to be Tyrone Briggs, star high school basketball player now locked up in prison for something he didn't do.
