Unnecessary risks in the urban environment(3)
I live in quite a dangerous country and maybe these tips are not meant for you if you are residing in heaven?
Just some simple tips in life might help you one day who knows?
Every man, woman and child has to face a multitude of dangers in their lives. For me It's VITAL to understand the dangers at home, at work, and on the streets try to get to grips with as many as possible. Take control! The safer you make your day-to-day existence, the better able you will be (and the more time and energy you will have) to deal with major crises. How can you expect to deal with a serious health, emotional or financial set-back, if youre totally preoccupied with surviving the dangers of your own home?
Your strategy must be to avoid unnecessary risks in the urban environment and minimize the damage caused by those you cant avoid. You must develop an attitude to urban life that will help you cope with all kinds of situations.
Injury, torture and murder have been tools of certain groups, mainly to destabilize a community through fear and to deter opposition, whether the perpetrators are acting against an established government or in the name of a political cause.
Bomb attacks and assassination however tend to bring the greatest publicity. Kidnapping and blackmail may be employed even by legitate governments trying to impose their will on a minority.
DONT advertise your presence or your movements or even a wedding announcement could tell an assassin where you are going to be at a certain time.
Book hotel accommodation under an assumed name.
DONT stick to a pattern. Vary transport, times and routes to work. Avoid roadworks and congested streets. Change vehicles during longer journeys.
Make a habit of looking out of the window before leaving a building. Watch out for people loitering on foot or sitting in parked vehicles.
Glance over your shoulder frequently but unobtrusively, you DONT want to attract attention and use reflections in shop windows to see if you are being followed. To be honest I have found that once all these precautions become a habit you become more relaxed.
Be friendly with neighbours. You may need them to let you know if anyone is asking questions or taking an unusual interest in you but DONT divulge your business or movements to them. At times it helps to be vague.
Call ahead when making journeys and dont forget to call your base when you arrive.
Arrange a coded phrase to be used if you are in danger or under duress and need help. Choose an arrangement of words that can be fitted into normal conversation. It can be anything which sounds innocent eg I didnt bring a raincoat, The roads were clear, Sorry. This is a really bad connection.
When your contact hears these coded phrases he she will immediately know you need help and act accordingly.
You might think all this is silly but believe me when I say it worked for me.

Hands up are you one of those lovely drivers who sees the fast lane is moving briskly so pulls into it to drop down to sixty mph?
Why?

Hunted In Russia
A very disturbing look into the homophobic attitudes in Russia...vigilante groups are thriving since Putin regards being homosexual as immoral...and enacted a new anti-gay propaganda law to silence homosexuals...
Attacking homosexuals is now a sport and often their victims are beaten and humiliated and the videos of these crimes are posted on social media...
Many vigilantes claim that homosexuals are p*dophile...giving these groups a reason for violent behaviour...
Police often turn a blind eye to such attacks on the gay community...with no support from the police or government...they live in fear...keeping their sexuality behind closed doors...
Welcome to the new era of extremism...

How To Survive A Heart Attack When Alone
I read this article this AM and wanted to share it with everyone! Hopefully it will save someone's life!
Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course),…after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles (8kms) from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
