About this product: This warm and whimsical picture book opens with a little boy eagerly anticipating a trip to the zoo as his mother straps him into his car seat. Like most toddlers, he would rather run free than wear a seat belt, ride in a stroller, hold Mommy's hand, or climb into her backpack. As they pass various animal exhibits, the little boy asks teasing questions, such as "If I were a monkey, would I have to wear a helmet?" Mommy's light-hearted responses reveal, in a bouncy cadence, how animal and human moms alike keep their rambunctious young ones close and safe.

What does a horrific airline crash have to do with retirement planning? Thomas C. Scott saved a dozen lives as a crewmember on a Boeing 747 that crashed in 1974, killing 59 people. When he became a financial adviser he discovered that, like airline passengers who ignore preflight safety instructions, most people ignore the basics in handling their finances, make assumptions that are inaccurate, and leave themselves unprepared for disaster. This is the book you should have read before the global financial meltdown in 2008 and it is the book that will prepare you for the future by explaining how you can fasten your financial seatbelt. Tom Scott has taken what he learned about how we behave under stress and the common mistakes people make with their money and put it all together in this unique, inspiring, and personal look at how easily we can lose what we have when we forget to fasten our financial seatbelts. Scott’s hard-earned insights include the value of planning and preparing for the worst. Like airline crashes, most of us think that financial disaster only happens to other people—until it happens to us. As in an airline crash, the survivors of a financial calamity are often paralyzed by fear and unable to see the way out of their predicament. Like flying, our relationship with money is often emotional and tinged with anxiety. It’s important to have a trusted adviser on your side, protecting you from those human instincts that interfere with our ability to make good financial choices. Discover important principles that can change your financial life: *The ""rear-view mirror"" investment trap *The difference between investing and speculating *The ""plumage"" trap *Why a big salary is not wealth *How shame and guilt keep us from seeking help *How to find a good investment ""sherpa""

He grew up in a time when planes were growing up, too. In Fasten Your Seatbelt, Bob will regale you with his adventures-from heart-stopping dangers to comic opera, from dancing in the aisles to real snakes on a plane-in all kinds of aircraft as well as on the ground all over the world, from the arctic to the tropics.

In the end, though, he landed exactly as many times as he took off.
About this product: "Fasten Your Seatbelt: The Passenger is Flying the Plane" is the fourth in a series written at the request of practitioners in the global airline industry. Core customers are beginning to seize control of the direction of the industry from airline management. Customers are doing so due to deep dissatisfaction with what is being offered by traditional carriers across all areas, including network, product, price, customer service and the distribution system. New airlines have clearly focused business designs with the discipline to reject non-valued products or services. In the US, new airlines score higher in customer satisfaction, offering lower fares and making larger operating profits. This book is about customer behaviour and how to address it. It provides detailed but easy-to-read practical discussion of the changes required on the part of airline management not only to think boldly, but also to execute courageously and relentlessly, ground-breaking strategies to fly ahead of their customers. As with previous books written by Nawal Taneja, the primary audience continues to be senior level practitioners within the global airline industry - in both traditional carrier and low complexity carrier segments. The approach is impartial, candid and pragmatic, based on what is happening in the actual market place rather than theoretical business models.

Description: Seatbelt legalisation was implemented in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in January 1999. This provided the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the legislation in the Eastern District of Abu Dhabi Emirate in the UAE by establishing levels of injury severity from motor vehicle crashes (MVC) before and after the legislation and the rate of compliance with the legislation. Data were obtained from a major hospital in the Eastern District of Abu Dhabi Emirate, UAE. Subjects were a systematic sample of MVC victims who arrived alive at hospital in either the pre-implementation period (January-June 1998) or the post-implementation period (February-August 2000). The main measures of outcome were injury severity codes, numbers of hospital bed days and rates of admission and discharge at hospital. The analysis of injury severity from MVCs, from the pre- to the post-implementation period, revealed a significant declining trend (@g^2=77.68, P<0.001). While the proportion of minor injuries increased from 42% (95% CI: 36-48%) in the pre-implementation period to 77% (95% CI: 71-83%) in the post-implementation period, the proportion of 'moderate to fatal injuries' declined from 54% (95% CI: 48-60%) to 17% (P=0.001) and the median number of hospital bed days declined from 5 days (25%=2; 75%=8) to 3 days (25%=1; 75%=4) (P=0.028). The rate of seatbelt compliance reported by occupants involved in MVCs in the post-implementation period was 59% (95% CI: 52-67%). The implementation of the seatbelt legislation in the Eastern District of Abu Dhabi Emirate was associated with statistically significant reduction in morbidity in those arriving alive at hospital following MVC, including reduced severity of injury, admission rate to hospital and the duration of hospital stay. More active implementation of seatbelt law would most likely further reduce severity of MVC injuries and fatalities in the Eastern District of Abu Dhabi Emirate, UAE.

About this product: On December 23, 2008, Tricia Cliff (the author), her husband and four children were all involved in a terrible vehicle accident while traveling home to visit family for the holidays. All four children would end up in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Cleveland's Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital on Christmas Day. The author began an email journal as a venue to inform family and friends. As the email thread grew...and grew, it became apparent that the author's faith, humor and tenacity during a time of great emotional and physical struggle was truly an inspiration to hundreds of readers, many of whom encouraged her to write a book. This is the product. The memoir contains all the unedited emails and hundreds of responses to those emails received from all over the world. It also includes many black and white photos. This is a wonderful book to read in order to strengthen your own faith or to give as a gift to someone who is experiencing trials of their own. Part of the proceeds of this book will go to support several charities, including- but not limited to-The Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland and West End Ministries of High Point, NC.

From the supplier: Primary or standard seatbelt laws have been enacted in at least 16 states that allow police officers to signal drivers to pull over when they notice these drivers are not wearing seatbelts even if the latter have not committed some kind of moving violation. More than 20 states debated legislation to bolster seat belt laws in 1998. The laws are meant to promote seatbelt use to reduce automobile deaths and injuries. The federal government is encouraging the passage of these laws with a $500-million incentive package.
