Women, Crime Statistics and Pepper Spray
As all of us – or at least most of us – know, personal attacks are on the rise around the world and have been for quite some time. Not only that, but these attacks are becoming more brutal than they had been in the past. Women get attacked more than men and are at greater risk. As a result, women are looking for ways to defend themselves.
The City of Hope released some statistics regarding attacks on women. The findings are:
• 1 in every 3 women across the world has been subjugated to rape or sexual assault. (Data: 2001)
• In some developing countries, at least one-third of the adolescent girls have been forced into sexual initiation (Data: 2002)
• Sex crimes in South Africa take place every twenty seconds. (Data: 2000)
• Major incidents of rapes have been reported in 12 African provinces. The rate has increased considerably from 182 in 2001 to 270 in 2002.
• 14,000 of the 331,815 reported crimes committed against women in the Russian Federation were rapes.
• According to a survey in the United Kingdom it was found that 19.4 % of the women there have been victims of some kind of sexual violence. (Data: 2001)
Now let’s take a look at the US
• One of the startling facts is that 1 in 3 American women are sexually assaulted in their lifetime.
• 89% of sexual crimes have been committed by someone known to the victim.
• In 2002, there were 247,730 victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.
• In 2005-2006, there were 232,010 victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.
• Around 44% of rape victims are under age 18, while 80% are under age 30.
As a result of these statistics, the sale of self-defense tools and weapons has skyrocketed. One product that is sold the most is Pepper Spray.
Pepper Spray comes in various forms, containers and sizes, and will disorient your attacker when used properly, giving you enough time to get away to safety and get help. Pepper Spray comes in a regular spray, foam and gel. All of these are effective because they will make the attacker’s eyes slam shut and start burning immediately, and start them coughing and having a hard time breathing. The gel has the added feature of sticking to the skin like glue and burning the skin, while the foam seeps into the skin like lotion and also burns.
Pepper Spray is easy to use, affordable, and can be carried in your pocket or purse. It can come in canisters that include regular spray cans, ball point pen disguises, lipstick disguises, cell phone disguises, and more.
It is essential that women find a way to protect themselves. Pepper Spray is an excellent, non-lethal way to do this. Don’t become a victim!

When thinking about the mass extermination camps of a holocaust think.. The key to freedom is to be able to have the ability to defend yourself &, if you dont have the tools to do that, then youre going to be at the mercy of whomever wants to put you away. Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture – but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept. The country has a population of six million, but there are estimated to be at least two million publicly-owned firearms, including about 600000 automatic rifles and 500000 pistols. This is in a very large part due to Switzerland’s unique system of national defence, developed over the centuries. Instead of a standing, full-time army, the country requires every man to undergo some form of military training for a few days or weeks a year throughout most of their lives. Between the ages of 21 and 32 men serve as frontline troops. They are given an M-57 assault rifle and 24 rounds of ammunition which they are required to keep at home. Once discharged, men serve in the Swiss equivalent of the US National Guard, but still have to train occasionally and are given bolt rifles. Women do not have to own firearms, but are encouraged to. Update 28th December 2010: Out of nearly 3 million views of this video there are 4358 thumbs up to 427 thumbs down. So, you could say, if any of us lived in any sort of real democracy in this world that would mean that only one in every ten people would like to keep gun control laws …

Top Sports News Popularity Exceeds Political Events
Sports news
The sports news business has become one of the most awaited yet needed services ever offered by the internet; thanks to the speed of broadcasting and of online expansion, the sports news are able to reach any corner of the world within minutes.
The most popular sports websites in the world have also stretched their geographical existence by signing sports news reporters from all over the world, at least, in major countries where popular sports are being hosted. For example, the South Africa World Cup 2010 will urge the sports sites to cover the event directly from where it’s held and hosted.
The ESPN sports news, NBC Sports news, SI.com sports news will not be live or accurate unless they are cultivated from the right spot through reporters and sports experts; compare it to the fact of watching NBA live games from the basketball arena… do you think it feels the same like being seen on TV?
Watching a Premier League fixture on TV will allow you to follow every replay and repeat of a football trick or skill while focusing on advertising and marketing affiliates; however, being in the football stadium of the Old Trafford (Manchester United) will grant you a brand new experience that’s characterized by the ultimate thrill, adrenaline rush, anger, joy, excitement and many more of the football fans feelings.
Sports news are not always accurate, since the posting of some news can be specified as rumors or non-official reports which aim to create a certain ambience or prepare the NBA fans or football fans to an upcoming decision, often made by the club’s administration. The sports news are not always limited to reporting the action as it happens, but plunge deeper in analysis and explanation for the purpose of predicting the future results and the consequences of certain behaviors.
Among sports news reporters, the most successful are the experts who succeed in grabbing a scoop and turn it into some kind of football rumors or golf rumors as was the case with Tiger Woods, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Maradona, Osain Bolt, Lance Armstrong, Michael Schumacher and the list never ends. Almost every athlete has once been a subject to sports rumors, regardless of his sport and regardless of the fact of being on or off the sport’s club or field. Once sports news believe that they can gather traffic or readers through selling more newspapers or sports magazines, it would not matter no more if ethical behavior is a must or not… what matters at that moment, is the increase of readers, viewers or users in case of an internet sports news website.
Among the leaders of sports news, we name ESPN sports center that’s broadcasted on a daily basis via ESPN live TV as well as through sports live streaming online. Skysports also offers the same services but apply a different strategy that consists on following the leader by transmitting sports on TV live as well on the internet through online TV channels. BBC sports ranks 1st in the UK and Great Britain as it tackles the most popular sports in England such as the live cricket matches, Premier League games, Premiership fixtures, Rugby, Polo…
The sportingnews.com and sportsillustrated.com (SI.com) are also serious competitors for ESPN and Skysports on the worldwide scale; with fierce battles going on to grab the leading spot in sports news live, the websites are trying to focus on all aspects of sports instead of being specialized in 1 kind of sports or 2. For instance, focusing on soccer news only or onto NFL news, cricket news, NBA news, Boxing news or football news as a unique entity, is a way to lose track of other websites that are totally dedicated to report every single event in details with photos, videos and reports.

NEWSWRAP 8-11-08 No change after EU-Iran nuclear talks A telephone conversation today between EU foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, and Iran’s nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, on Tehran’s nuclear program did not result in a change in policy toward the Islamic Republic. An official in Solana’s office was quoted as saying: “There was indeed a conversation this morning between Mr. Solana and Mr. Jalili. Nothing has changed. We stick to the two-track approach. The channels of communication remain open.” IRNA described today’s talks as “constructive,” and wrote: “The two sides agreed to continue negotiations in a constructive atmosphere.” Iran’s government spokesperson, Gholamhossein Elham, today said that Iran was willing to cooperate with the international community on its nuclear program, but accused the US of pursuing “psychological warfare” in Iran. Fighting resumes in South Ossetia As fighting continued today in Georgia’s breakaway region of South Ossetia and Russia boosted its troop presence in the western Abkhazia region, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin criticized the United States for assisting Tbilisi in bringing Georgian troops from Iraq back home to fight in the conflict.
