Toilets of the World Free FREE TOILETS OF THE WORLD PDF Morna E. Gregory,Sian James | 256 pages | 01 Sep 2009 | Merrell Publishers Ltd | 9781858944999 | English | London, United Kingdom Toilets From Around the World | One Point Partitions It's the one spot in every home that all members of the family use on a regular basis, from California to Dubai. Culture, custom, habit and convenience all dictate a society's notion of what defines a Toilets of the World toilet ," even though this humble household item is often taken for granted. Toilets of the World do what we do where we Toilets of the World it, with little ado, due to the toilet's unassuming quality in our lives. It's hardly any wonder, then, that so many folks are startled when encountering their first foreign toilet. Chances are, you might be surprised at Toilets of the World of the international Toilets of the World, both public and privately maintained, that the world has Toilets of the World offer a weary traveler. Across the globe, the toilet has evolved within sets of specific cultural traditions. Since each Toilets of the World has a different concept of hygiene, access to disposable paper and water availability, our body's most natural functions have been dealt with in a variety of ways. Despite complaints about airline bathrooms, plan an international excursion and you may find that the airplane toilet was the last vestige of Toilets of the World hometown bathroom expectations. But you'll also find that the world offers a myriad of ways for one to "get down to business. Despite being a country known for bravado and volume, Americans are pretty persnickety about their potties. Despite a bewildering array of nicknames for their toiletsAmericans tend to expect just one image when they enter a bathroom on that primal errand, the call of nature: a white, porcelain commode about 16 inches Indoor plumbing and the basic commode have been in style throughout most of the Western world since Thomas Crapper helped popularize the water closet in the late s. Perhaps that's why even a rural outhouse in the United States tends to have a raised seat and a handy magazine or two. Also, portable toilets, always popular at construction and other work sites, may be chemical Toilets of the World and contain odors that should not be described in polite company, but they're still pretty familiar to the Western eye. Hygienically, however, some travelers object to placing their bare behinds on an unknown however shiny and porcelain rim or seat. The bowl is filled with water though Americans are decreasing water consumption Toilets of the World increased use of the more "green" dual- flush commodes Toilets of the World the flush, so splash-back can and will Toilets of the World from time to time. Prevalent throughout the world, the squat toilet is a likely stop if you sight-see anywhere without a McDonald's on the horizon. The pit you're squatting over might be different, but the concept is pretty basic. From a sanitary perspective, only your feet, on either side of the hole, are going to do the dirty work. Your tush touches Toilets of the World, though in Peru it would be wise to keep an eye out for sloths. For the last 25 years, they've been camping out in local squat spots, feasting on nature's leftovers [source: Walker ]. Sometimes there will be toilet tissue, though outside Europe and the United States, it can be sandpapery in quality and often comes with a price tag [source: Style ]. If none seems available, you should start looking around for a hose, spigot or little red bucket [source: Whitehorn ]. Be brave and don't complain, because medically, the squat toilet is just as good for your intestines, if not ideal for completing the Sunday crossword puzzle [source: Rane and Corstiaans ]. Don't be startled by water faucets appearing in unusual places while abroad -- many International toilets have bidets units built into the otherwise humble commode. From Europe to the Middle East, many countries favor bidet toilets due to cleanliness values and scarcity of disposable paper products. It's important not to use toilet paper if none is offered -- plumbing and waste management are handled differently across the globe, and you don't want to back up a sewer or irritate the locals. The three bidet toilets you're most likely to encounter are these:. Bring change if you aren't hitting your hotel for a while Toilets of the World Paris and other metropolitan European cities. Also, bring your cell phone -- in Finland you must send a text message to the National Road Service to remotely open a pay toilet [source: Cellular-News ]. These pay toilets are usually clean, most being sanitized automatically as soon as the door shuts upon each exit. Many are on timers, so you shouldn't loiter or the door will unlock on you and cleanser sprays will emit from vents in the walls. Also don't try to toilet hop -- trying to save yourself a few extra Toilets of the World by jumping into a pay stall that's just been vacated will only Toilets of the World in tears -- probably literally, since you'll get doused with disinfectant at the same time as la toilette. The toilets themselves tend to be Western in style, though often the water tank is above your head or even built into the wall behind you. Further, the flusher can be difficult to locate, often nearer to the sink than the commode, so look around. Many of these Toilets of the World are descended from models where the entire toilet flipped back into the wall upon commencing of the cleaning cycle and then hosed out automatically before being flipped Toilets of the World in. Very Toilets of the World Bondthough it's hard to picture on the can. Many Asian countries have a serious investment in toilet culture, as highlighted with the World's Most Expensive Toilet. Also, why else would Taiwan boast a very popular toilet-themed restaurant [source: Tso ]? No one beats Japan for sheer ingenuity and determination in the field of comfy cans. From the gentle Toto to models that feature body scans, warmed seats and remote-controlled seats, Japan is the place to head for luxury latrines [source: AFP ]. They are mostly traditional Western designs, though, and all the bells and whistles are found in private homes, rather than in public areas. Fortunately, these charming chamber pots are available for sale online, so if you Toilets of the World feeling lonesome for the joys of a high-tech toilet, just click your mouse two times and repeat, "There's no place like Japan! Nothing like the fresh breeze on your backside as you Toilets of the World the tulips, right? This next type of toilet really only applies to the fellows, but everyone should try to stay alert when a public pissoir is within shooting range. Open- air urinals are becoming more wide-spread throughout Europe, many quite modern and sensible in design, though there are some lovely antique designs to be found in larger cities. From a sanitation point of view, these accommodations really assist in keeping the streets clean Apparently they enjoy a great deal of patronage as well, and most are free. The trend has spread, too. An artist took the idea and ran with it, as seen in his two-way mirrored toilet creation outside the Tate Modern in London [source: BBC ]. Additionally, the largest open-air toilet facility recently opened in Beijing, showcasing Chinese urinals, Eastern squatters and Western toilets all in one communal place [source: Associated Press ]. Who says we all can't just get along? There are toilets built Toilets of the World speed, for utility, for profit and for sheer comfort. And then there are toilets built for no discernible reason other than to keep tourists from urinating off mountain sides and into pristine water -- which is a pretty good reason. Or perhaps they're built to give everyone something to post on Facebook. Either way, these toilets are built in such remote locations that they serve to remind us all of the bodily harm that must be risked for some bodily functions. The stilt toilets of San Bias, Panama, as well as the bamboo toilets in Papua, New Guinea, are rickety but make complete sense, what with the ocean sweeping away tides of tinkle. The port-o-john in the Swiss Alps seems like a practical joke rather than a practical facility. And Australia claims the highest toilet in the world [source: Hildebrand ]. Also, due to uncalled-for calling cards all over the pristine mountainside, there's now a toilet topping Mont Blanc in France. Not for the faint of Toilets of the World, and not for anyone traveling with jokesters, nor for anyone with a fear of heights -- these toilets could potentially scare the mess out of you! You probably didn't travel halfway around the world to sit in your hotel room, so it's important to know what to expect when using the loo on the go. Trains, buses and airlines will usually be equipped with some kind of bathroom, though toilets differ depending on your location and how modern the mode of transportation is. For instance, most Toilets of the World have a Western or American-style commode, built into the back wall of the restroom, and these flush using a vacuum rather than water. Trains are still popular for transportation globally, and while most trains will certainly have facilities, the type of toilet you end up with on board will tend to reflect whatever the local toilet tradition is.

However, menstrual hygiene products widely receive separate treatment in restrooms across the globe. While it would be absurd today to carry a roll of toilet paper at all times, it is considered necessary and common sense for all menstruators to carry menstrual hy- giene products at all times, for approximately forty years, in case of an emergency.

  • The Mercurian
    The Mercurian : : A Theatrical Translation Review Volume 7, Number 3 (Spring 2019) Editor: Adam Versényi Editorial Assistant: Sarah Booker ISSN: 2160-3316 The Mercurian is named for Mercury who, if he had known it, was/is the patron god of theatrical translators, those intrepid souls possessed of eloquence, feats of skill, messengers not between the gods but between cultures, traders in images, nimble and dexterous linguistic thieves. Like the metal mercury, theatrical translators are capable of absorbing other metals, forming amalgams. As in ancient chemistry, the mercurian is one of the five elementary “principles” of which all material substances are compounded, otherwise known as “spirit.” The theatrical translator is sprightly, lively, potentially volatile, sometimes inconstant, witty, an ideal guide or conductor on the road. The Mercurian publishes translations of plays and performance pieces from any language into English. The Mercurian also welcomes theoretical pieces about theatrical translation, rants, manifestos, and position papers pertaining to translation for the theatre, as well as production histories of theatrical translations. Submissions should be sent to: Adam Versényi at [email protected] or by snail mail: Adam Versényi, Department of Dramatic Art, CB# 3230, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3230. For translations of plays or performance pieces, unless the material is in the public domain, please send proof of permission to translate from the playwright or original creator of the piece. Since one of the primary objects of The Mercurian is to move translated pieces into production, no translations of plays or performance pieces will be published unless the translator can certify that he/she has had an opportunity to hear the translation performed in either a reading or another production-oriented venue.

  • Water Stream in Bidet Toilet Commode As A
    Ann Colorectal Res. 2017 March; 5(1):e46479. doi: 10.5812/acr.46479. Published online 2017 March 25. Research Article Water Stream in Bidet Toilet Commode as a Cause of Anterior Anal Fissure: A Case-Control Study Pankaj Garg,1,2,* and Pratiksha Singh2 1Colorectal Surgery Division, Indus Super Specialty Hospital, Mohali, Punjab, India 2Garg Fistula Research Institute, Panchkula, Haryana, India *Corresponding author: Pankaj Garg, Garg Fistula Research Institute, 1042, Sector-15, Panchkula, Haryana, India. Tel: +91-9501011000, Fax: +91-1722594556, E-mail: [email protected] Received 2017 January 09; Revised 2017 February 06; Accepted 2017 March 08. Abstract Background: Water used as a single sharp stream in toilet commode for post defecation cleansing is a common practice in sev- eral countries across the globe including India. Repeated hitting of the anus by water stream could potentially cause injury to the anal canal epithelium and lead to development of fissure-in-ano. As the water stream is emanating from the backside of the toilet commode, the possible injury, if any, would be on the anterior anal canal. Objectives: The present study aimed at determining whether water stream usage in toilet commodes increased the incidence of anterior fissure-in-ano; this was determined by the incidence of anterior fissure-in-ano the study and control groups. Methods: All consecutive fissure-in-ano patients referring to a colorectal clinic from February 2012 to 2015 were included in the study. The patients were classified as a study group (who were using water stream for cleansing purposes in toilet commodes) and a control group (patients who were not using water stream).
