A harrowing experience helped me discover that there was an urgent necessity to prevent crime against college students. For eight years, I thought of the university where I educated others in Humanities as secure. But my own daughter was threatened with a knife in that very same place.
She was alone in a random washroom, being there before an early morning class. So, when an unknown person insisted on having her money and threatened her life, she fervently wished for anyone to come but no one did.
She had a pepper spray, having brought various self defense devices everyday since we started discussing within the family the importance to prevent crime against college students, just before she went to college herself.
She made an excuse that she had to reach into her pocket to get her money. Then, she took out her pepper spray and used it with vigor. It’s a good thing she had mastered using the defense spray.
When the attacker had spray in his eyes, she rushed in the direction of the front entryway. She also activated the personal alarm she had while she searched for a guard she knew would be there, being alert to prevent crime against college students. Read more...
Are you ready to use a stun gun in an emergency situation? If not try the Mace Screecher Aerosol Personal Alarm.
My brother got laid off in late 2008, so I decided to cut some of my spending in order to help him out. He has a wife and daughter to support and I am single so it was an easy decision for me to make.
In addition, I was scared for my own job. I moved to a smaller apartment in a different neighborhood and got a friend to share it with me.
The new apartment that I moved into was not necessarily a “safe” place to live. I felt that I needed a stun gun to walk around with just in case of emergencies.
My roommate has a cell phone stun gun and was trying to talk me into getting one like it, but I did not think that I would ever be able to use a stun gun on someone if an emergency situation had occurred.
She did talk me into going to a stun gun shop with her a few times. I saw some that I might want to get but in the meantime I decided a personal alarm was more my style. The Mace Screecher aerosol alarm was what I ended up getting. Read more...
Bobby lost his left arm because of a childhood infection, but it didn’t slow him down. He rode bikes, climbed trees, and did everything a child is supposed to do, except for one. He never did the martial arts, he figured he had finally found the one thing he would never do.
When a martial arts school opened up in his neighborhood, however, he could not stop thinking about it. He would pass by the school slowly, staring at the kids working out inside. He would ask his friends who studied martial arts about their training, but he never went inside the dojo because he knew that there was no way he could do that physical discipline.
One day a friend of his invited him to the dojo to witness a demonstration. Bobby went, and watched, and sadness ate at his heart like a chainsaw chews bushes. After the demonstration, Bobby was introduced to the instructor, who invited him to study the martial arts.
“I don’t see how I could,” Bobbie said sadly, “since I only have a right arm.” The instructor put forth that having one arm wasn’t a problem. He said, “Anything is possible to a man with a whole heart.” Read more...
Tai Chi Chuan is the art that speaks of emptiness. One must move without force to realize the true depth of this ancient art. And, in Tai Chi, you might run out of energy, but you’ll never run out of nothing.
One must realize, of course, that there are degrees of emptiness. The beginning student will have one idea concerning this concept, and the advanced master will have another, and there is plenty of room in between. Indeed, one could almost say there is a different viewpoint of this great nothingness as there is students to perceive it.
In the beginning concepts of Tai Chi give much confusion. The beginning student tries to get in his own way, tries to figure out the mechanistic nature of the universe, and works his way through confusion. Eventually, the beginner starts to realize that there is more to this idea of emptiness than he ever had inkling.
One can perceive a great nothingness inside the body. The apparent concreteness of blood and brain gives way to perception. Awareness seeps unhindered through the machinations of the apparently real body. Read more...
