Self-Defense Tool Women Will Surely Love | Jackie's Women's ...

Two of my lady pals were held up while returning home. Pissed at losing their bags, they vowed to arm themselves in case it happened once again. And because we?re GIRLS, we wanted something that fit the personalities. Shawna stated we each needed some girly defense spray for personal defense.

Pepper sprays are great weapons for women. These are non-lethal but perform a mean job of causing short-term injury to an attacker. The pepper makes the eyes to close in pain while respiration is constricted when this hits the skin, so focus on the victim is lost. That is the time you can hit or perhaps kick one time and then dash away, Shawna said.

Masked self defense sprays are most handy, Tina added. Since they appear like regular things, the enemy is caught by surprise when one is utilized against them. Besides, it appears cooler to carry a weapon that does not look like one.

What I like about self-defense sprays is their size ? small as well as compact. And mini pepper sprays are so simple to hide even in your palm so there isn?t any need to take yours out from the bag or pocket.

Okay, we wanted something tiny and camouflaged but girly. The licensed pharmacist presented us with Pepper Shot lipstick pepper spray.

The 1/2 oz. cylinder really trick you into pondering this is simply an attractive lipstick case. And that little container contains 20 half-second bursts to use on the crooks out to hassle us. They will be out of commission for over thirty minutes.

It works around a range of ten feet. So, with good balance and aim, you can still knock your assailant out from far away or you can, if possible, spray in close proximity for better effect. Best of all, this one is available in 5 colors, like real lipstick!

Val and Tina are now ready to take on the bad guys. They each possess a girly pepper spray for defense and so do Shawna and also I.

Wanda C Megyese has been training people how to use self defense items to defend themselves for many years now. There are many options, like stun guns, pepper sprays and personal alarms. He offers complete help and instruction on how to use the items. http://www.bestlinedefense.com

Self Defense: The Psychology of Attack and Survival (How To Defend Yourself and Survive In Any Dangerous Situation) (Self Defense Psychology)Self Defense: The Psychology of Attack and Survival (How To Defend Yourself and Survive In Any Dangerous Situation) (Self Defense Psychology)Self defense isn?t about carrying around a gun or mace or weapons. It?s not about being bigger or stronger than others. It?s not about what you look like, whether you?re a man or a woman or how old you are.

At the end of the day, the you will survive because your mind and body are strong and united. We?ve all heard stories of super-human strength ? the grandma who lifted up with her bare hands to save her grandson and other such stories abound.

But the same thing can happen mentally ? at times of great stress, you can acquire super-human mental powers as well as physical. Like the lady who is mugged at gunpoint and says something that spooks the robber. He runs away, dropping her purse, and the woman picks it up and walks off like nothing happened.

How do we access our super-human potential when we need it most?

How can you fight off four assailants at once?

How can you talk your way out of being robbed?

How can you protect yourself and your family when something goes wrong?

These questions haunted me for years. I would often lay awake at night or daydream about potential fights or conflicts. Some guy at the bar comes at me with a knife so I use a typical Aikido move to disarm him and throw him on the ground using his own force. I get jumped from behind in an alleyway and knocked on the ground... the scenarios played through my head over and over like a moviescreen. Only this wasn?t the movies. It wasn?t real either ? it was practice.

And that practice payed off ? in a big way.

I want this book to prepare you for what may lie ahead. No one knows what the future holds. But even if you never have to face an attack or serious bodily harm for the rest of your life, this book will prepare you mentally and physically for when times get tough.

Life isn?t about being bigger, stronger, fast or smarter than the competition. Life is about survival. It?s about freedom, confidence and success. This book will give you the tools and the confidence to know that you will survive no matter what happens.

Self-Defense (Alex Delaware)Self-Defense (Alex Delaware)Dr. Alex Delaware doesn t see many private patients anymore, but the young woman called Lucy is an exception. So is her dream. Lucy Lowell is referred to Alex by Los Angeles police detective Milo Sturgis. A juror at the agonizing trial of a serial killer, Lucy survived the trauma only to be tormented by a recurring nightmare: a young child in the forest at night, watching a strange and furtive act.

Now Lucy s dream is starting to disrupt her waking life, and Alex is concerned. The power of the dream, its grip on Lucy s emotions, suggests to him that it may be more than a nightmare. It may be the repressed childhood memory of something very real. Something like murder.

Researchers solve riddle of what has been holding two unlikely materials together

Mar. 11, 2013 ? For years, researchers have developed thin films of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) -- which converts heat into electricity or electricity to cooling -- on top of gallium arsenide (GaAs) to create cooling devices for electronics. But while they knew it could be done, it was not clear how -- because the atomic structures of those unlikely pair of materials do not appear to be compatible. Now researchers from North Carolina State University and RTI International have solved the mystery, opening the door to new research in the field.

"We've used state-of-the-art technology to solve a mystery that has been around for years," says Dr. James LeBeau, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and co-author of a paper on the research. "And now that we know what is going on, we can pursue research to fine-tune the interface of these materials to develop more efficient mechanisms for converting electricity to cooling or heat into electricity. Ultimately, this could have applications in a wide range of electronic devices."

To study the phenomenon, the researchers had to create the nanometer-scale thin films on a GaAs substrate, or foundation. The GaAs is first placed in a vapor deposition chamber. Molecules containing bismuth and tellurium are then introduced into the chamber, where they react with each other and "grow" into a crystalline Bi2Te3 structure on the surface of the GaAs.

Using advanced "Super-X" X-ray spectroscopy technology in conjunction with an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope, the researchers were able to determine what was binding the Bi2Te3 to the GaAs -- and it was not what they were expecting.

They found that when the tellurium molecules were introduced to the vapor deposition chamber, the tellurium reacted with the GaAs substrate to create a new surface layer of gallium telluride, which was only one molecule thick. The Bi2Te3 then formed a thin film on top of that new surface layer.

Because gallium telluride does not react with Bi2Te3, the research team knew chemical bonding could not be holding them together. Instead, the two layers are held together by the weaker force of van der Waals bonds -- meaning the materials are held together by weak electrical forces.

"While these materials have been investigated previously by RTI and NC State, the state-of-the-art techniques applied by LeBeau and his team have revealed significant new insights into how the film grows," notes Dr. Rama Venkatasubramanian of RTI International, who is also a co-author of the paper.

A woman who faced combat says policy will improve military

On the Radar

Staff Sgt. Jennifer Hunt is one of four women who filed a lawsuit to end the policy that kept women from the front lines of battle. In the last couple of months we saw an extraordinary change in the military lifting the ban on direct combat for women. Staff Sgt. Hunt, who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan and was rewarded a purple heart for her time in Iraq, says ending the ban was long overdue.

The combat exclusion policy "was based on a definition that there were front lines, and there was a point where you could say these units and these places are going to experience combat, and these units and these other places won't," says Hunt. But in Iraq and Afghanistan, those lines were blurred.

"Women who were filling positions such as truck drivers, or civil affairs, or military police found themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan facing the same dangers as people who were in the infantry or men who were in other combat arms jobs," says the U.S. Army reservist.

Critics of the change in policy argue that women are not strong enough, and lack the upper body strength to, for example, pull a fellow comrade out of harm's way.

"This combat exclusion policy put gender ahead of any physical qualifications. It said we don't care if you're strong," says Hunt.

"This lifting of policy is really going to say, 'Let's look at all the qualifications - let's pick the best people for the best job.'"

Others argue that the front lines, or a small combat outpost is no place for women.

"I would say that war is probably no place for anybody," counters Hunt, "and that unfortunately we live in a world where countries engage in warfare and there are ultimately going to bring some very terrible conditions."

For more of this interview with Staff Sgt. Hunt, including how the policy change will bring new opportunities for women to move up to the highest military ranks, and her views on why having women makes the military a better fighting force, check out this episode of On the Radar.

US, South Korea Begin Annual Military Drills Amid Threats From ...

South Korea navy

By VOA -- (March 10, 2013)

U.S. and South Korean forces have begun an annual military exercise, labeled ?Key Resolve,? despite North Korean threats to respond by voiding the armistice that ended the Korean War.

Pyongyang has also made a threat to launch a nuclear attack on the United States, although analysts believe North Korea is not currently capable of such an attack.

In an immediate response to the start of the military exercises Monday, the North apparently carried out another threat to cut off the hot-line between Pyongyang and Seoul. Two checks of the phone connection by Seoul Monday went unanswered.

This year?s exercise, which will last until March 21, comes after North Korea conducted its third nuclear test last month, prompting a U.N. Security Council resolution imposing tougher sanctions on the country.

Threats from the North during such joint exercises are nothing new, but analysts fear that one accident could trigger a confrontation that could escalate into a serious conflict. Pyongyang generally says the exercises are a rehearsal for invading the North.

South Korea usually does not react to the threats from Pyongyang. However, Seoul recently promised to retaliate for any provocation from the North.
