Natural Flexibility, a new title by Dr. Charles Kenny, introduces progressive sequential isometrics (PSI for short), a new alternative to traditional stretching, which combines principles of Pilates, Martial Arts, Dance, and Gymnastics into a work-out that allows you to strengthen your body and increase your flexibility simultaneously. Traditional stretching has come under scrutiny recently as a possible contributor to injury in athletes.

While regular, passive stretching pulls at your tendons and joints in an effort to increase your range of motion, PSI, as outlined in Natural Flexibility actually strengthens your entire range of motion as it expands it, thereby preventing injury and strengthening performance simultaneously. Progressive sequential isometric exercise provides an alternative warm-up system for athletes and dancers that strengthens and reinforces your body as you prepare for activity.

Natural Flexibility provides exercise and warm-ups for numerous activities, including:

·The Six-Minute Warm-Up: this provides a natural, fast, and safe method for athletes to warm up before any competition or physical activity.
·Wake-up Body Movements: these provide an energizing and invigorating work out first thing in the morning.
·Clock Stepping: a simple exercise that can improve your ability to balance and prevent slips and falls.
·When You’re Sore: exercises to explore your body when you are stiff or sore, to determine if it is safe to continue working out.
·Your Chiropractor in Your Pocket: an easy way to relieve back pain in just a few minutes a day, or even on demand.

The exercise and activities outlined in Natural Flexibility are accessible to all, not just athletes, and provide a simple way for anyone to increase their level of fitness in a safe and healthy manner, without the risks inherent to traditional stretching..

This book provides parents with a comprehensive, scientifically-based guide to the facts, myths, problems and solutions associated with raising a vaccine free child. It helps parents protect their children both from the wiles of the vaccine industry and from harmful germs. With 471 references, there are no trendy anti-vaccination myths in this book. Readers will learn that immunisation is not the reason for the absence of some infectious diseases, that insidious, long-term side effects are very common, and that there is a media blackout on the topics of vaccine side effects and vaccine failures.

Health conscious parents are wary of the side effects of vaccines, but they also fear the infectious diseases to which babies and young children can fall victim. This book equips parents with the knowledge they need to cope with both the tactics of the vaccine industry, and with the very real threat from infectious diseases.

Each infectious disease has different characteristics, and each needs to be approached in an individual way. Understanding the difference between the self-resolving childhood illnesses and the ones that need intervention is the first step to knowing how to deal with infectious diseases. This book advises parents on how to bring children safely through childhood illnesses like measles and whooping cough, and discusses medical and non-medical prevention and treatment of the non-childhood infectious diseases.

Parents who choose to keep their children vaccine free are often accused of being selfish because they want to avoid the risk of side effects, while allowing their children to be protected by the fact that other children have been vaccinated. The idea that vaccinating some children prevents disease in all children is called herd immunity. The myth of herd immunity is used as a political tool by people who want to bully unwilling parents into vaccinating. The information in this book enables parents of vaccine free children to withstand the accusation that they are spoiling herd immunity.

Bureaucrats often make statements about the safety and effectiveness of vaccination that are not supported by fact. The author has given some of these bureaucrats the opportunity to provide evidence to support their claims, but they have not been able to provide the evidence because their claims are wrong.

A look at the early documents regarding vaccination reveals that it is an unscientific procedure that is based on falsehood, cruelty and supposition..

A novel explaining the options strategy of selling covered calls. Most investors are not aware of this conservative risk free strategy that can generate a 25% annual return. The book explains with easy to understand examples, first how to pick the right stocks and second how to sell options on those stocks.

The basic principle involves buying solid companies as a basis for selling options and generating a steady stream of income.

Stock ownership is, of course, not risk free. But once that risk has been assumed, as millions of investor have done by owning stock, then there is no additional risk in selling call options on that stock. In fact by generating income you are mitigating the downside risk of stock ownership.

By chance at his local Rotary Club he meets his Finance Professor from 30 years back. Professor Rob Graham, now retired, has been very successful.

This book analyzes the evolution and impact of the concept of risk on processes of transnational banking and financial market regulation, as well as the externalities generated by speculative financial activity in developing and emerging market economies. The author provides an alternative theory for the study of international financial market regulation by applying elements of a post-structural methodology to the topic.Inspired by Michel Foucault's framework of critical discourse analysis in "The History of Sexuality", the argument dissects the rules of formation that govern the evolving discourse on risk. The author argues that the mathematically formal technology of risk emerges from within specific institutions and economic formations; thereby limiting its utility in the regulation of global financial markets. Exploring how the applied technology of risk has been implicated for fueling a major financial crisis, his work also demonstrates how the regulation of global financial markets and abstruse financial instruments in advanced industrialized countries impacts the lives of the poorest people in developing countries and emerging markets..
