The story has been told and retold countless times about the battle of Waterloo. Poems have been written and songs have been composed detailing every conceivable aspect about it. The English tell it one way and the French share it from a slightly different point of view. History and legend has it that after Napoleon Bonaparte's army was defeated and the Duke of Wellington prevailed over the French, Napoleon was taken away and imprisoned. One day a group of newspaper reporters came to visit. They had obtained permission to hold an interview with the famous French general, Napoleon Bonaparte. Even though Napoleon was in prison, he carried himself with dignity and looked with piercing eyes at the group...
Eleven Attributes Of A Good Criminal Defense...
People often ask me how to determine if a Criminal Defense Lawyer is good or not. Having practiced as a San Francisco criminal defense attorney throughout California for thirteen years I have developed some opinions about this, which are laid out in the eleven rules below. These attributes can help make the difference between a good, bad or mediocre result. Remember that good criminal defense lawyering is as much an art as a technical skill. There is no substitute for experience. On the other hand it is unfortunately true that some veteran lawyers are tired of practicing law or have been doing it the wrong way for so long, they can't change their ways. These rules apply to all criminal cases...
Homeostasis Says You Have Plenty of Time
Homeostasis is a relatively new and obscure science. It is the study of the effect of time on man and on other living creatures. It is also the study of our perception and response to time. Some of the latest discoveries in this realm of science may not win a Nobel prize but they guarantee to fascinate even the dullest curiosity. In one experiment people were placed deep in underground facilities where they had no way of knowing sunrise or sunset and they had no clocks or any other means of telling time. After a brief period of disorientation they all began develop a routine of sleep, productivity and recreation time that fell into a perfect twenty four hour period. Where did that come from? It...
Psychic Self Defense Against Negativity - How...
You won't regret winning, they say – it is something you can get quite accustomed to; so why would you not want to taste success with every aspect of your life if only you could? Well, you can now – if the psychic self-defense promoters are to be believed, for they promote a way of life that is determined by your aura – the air around you, or the impression you give about yourself – that is felt by others and only visible for a few and they go on to say it is this which reveals your true self and thereby, determines the course of your life. So, going by that reasoning, one can surmise that controlling and guiding your aura is also well within your reach, right? Yes, it is indeed so and this...
This is the basis of all philosophy that underlies the need for self-realization and self-enlightenment in the quest for reaching the higher consciousness where our unique sense of divinity lies, which guides and protects us against all of life's turmoil and tears. You can strengthen your aura and lead a more fulfilling and happy life as you find the peace you seek – within yourself; yes, the questions and the answers all lie within your reach, you only have to stretch to the spaces in your heart and tumble out the positive and negative aspects you find inside of you. Recognize the negatives – people, places, objects and phenomenon that work against you or you sense are harmful for you and keep...
Pepper Sprays - Beefing Up Your Personal Security
It was late when Sarah left work. She was a cashier at a casino and always worked late hours. Her mom always told her to buy some pepper spray if she is going to be working late in the city, but Sarah would always put it off, never imagining that anything bad could happen to her. She clocked-out and made her way into the employee parking garage, which was well lit and always patrolled by bike security. She felt safe while at work, security was tighter than the secret service around the president, so she never worried about her safety. She climbed into her old Metro and started the ignition. She put on the radio and listened to the news as she pulled out of the parking garage, smiling at the security...
Stun Guns - A Harmless But Effective Self-defense
Stun guns are used for protection against personal attacks. It is a self-defense equipment that does not do any long-term damage except that it is designed to temporarily incapacitate a person. Thus, it can save lives under certain threatening situations. Many people - ordinary citizens, soldiers and police officers are carrying these infallible weapons. They work by basically disrupting the human body's communication system by generating a low-amperage, high-voltage electrical charge. The charge has a lot of pressure behind it, but not much intensity. It passes into the attacker's body, through his skin and heavy clothing but only at around 3 milliamps, not intense enough to damage his body unless...
Self Defense - A Ring to the Rescue
Let's imagine for a moment that you have just been attacked from behind and the assailant tore your purse right off your arm. In your purse was your stun gun but now you can't reach it. The assailant now has you in a close quarters choke hold. His face is literally inches from yours. Only your hands are free. Just free enough to flip the safety on your stunning ring and press the trigger and spray into his eyes. The assailant is down and in quite a bit of agony. You are free and going for help. Sound crazy? No it is real. Just like any other ornamental ring on your finger, the stunning ring is a nice piece of jewelry in itself with a black onyx stone set in silver or gold. Men and women can wear...

What Kind of Self-Defense Product Should I Buy?
If you watch the news, read the news or listen to the news, you know that crime and violence seem to be on the rise. It just isn't safe anywhere anymore. So maybe it's time to look into purchasing one or more self-defense products. But there are so many. How can you choose? Well, you might have to do a little research.

Making Your Martial Arts Training Real
Before we do I will start with this month's training tip. Where am I, What am I doing and is it real? Asking the question "Where am I, what am I doing and is it real?" is meant to take you out of martial arts practice mode and into reality (or something close"). To have your mind, body and emotions 100% behind your actions when your training requires a certain amount of imagination. So ask yourself when you're training "Where am I right now in my mind?" "What am I doing here? Are you just punching a bag in your garage, or are you in a dangerous situation that requires you to defend yourself? This area is crucial to your development as a martial artist, being able to make your training real instead...
One of the challenges in discussing self-defense training with women and girls is the denial factor. You know the conversation: - "I could never hurt anyone." - "That will never happen to me." - "I'm always safe." - "My husband, boyfriend (insert any male here) will protect me." - "I live, work, shop, etc. in a safe neighborhood." - "The class sounds great, but I just don't have the time." And as they say, denial ain't just a river in Egypt. The reality is that women's self-defense training is so much more than just learning to "hit someone." Self-defense training involves understanding the different types of crimes and learning to recognize the early warning signals of danger. Self-defense...
College Safety - 6 Effective Techniques to...
The Millennials, born between 1982 to 2001, are one of the most multicultural, trusting and open-minded generations as compared to their older siblings and parents. They are also one of the most open generations and willing to share all kinds of personal information at the click of a button via Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, etc. without consideration to the negatives. Unfortunately, all this openness can have a dark side with unintended consequences inviting predators and threatening their personal safety. Let's talk about how you can be more successful by enlisting them in their own crime prevention and safety education. 1. Be Real - Millennials can smell self-serving a mile away and will...
The level of the threat a martial arts practitioner perceives determines their response. Quickly determining the threat level is important to apply the correct amount of force necessary to incapacitate the attacker and avoid injury. Threat levels are also taken into consideration by law enforcement after the confrontation to determine whether reasonable force was used or abused. In this article we will show three lesser threat levels and responses to them. Threat Level One Time and distance play a role in this level. If instincts make a person uneasy in regards to another the best self-defense tactic is to leave the area. In this situation there is time to leave and the distance from the other...
Karate Sparring
Karate sparring, known as kumite, is one of the most important segments of karate training, along with kata and kihon. It is a sort of exercise performed between at least two karate practitioners, using the techniques learned from the kihon and kata. Contrary to the popular belief, the main purpose of karate sparring is to expose or show off a practitioner's technique. The term "technique" here not only refers to the physical techniques involved in the art of karate, but to the understanding of the fundamental and advanced concepts of the art, such as timing and distancing, as well. Given this idea, it is clear that unlike the other forms of fighting, karate sparring aims not to defeat, unless it is...
Who is Batman?
Batman is the secret identity and alter ego of billionaire industrialist, Bruce Wayne. The fictional superhero introduced by DC Comics in 1939 has become one of the most iconic and recognized superheroes.

His main skills include his detective skills, technology and advanced weapons, intellect, and an obsessive pursuit of Justice. Although Batman’s story has varied slightly overtime, the theme of his parents death and his resulting pursuit of justice have remained the same. Bruce Wayne was the son of billionaires and philanthropists who were murdered during a...
Does Everyone "Deserve" Respect?
Dignity is not circumstantial. Kotoda Yahei Toshisada Have you ever noticed how, if a football team develops into a dynasty, everyone wants to see them get beat? This is because nobody likes to feel inferior to anyone else, and a team who has practiced, worked, and grabbed hold of excellence, makes those who have not, feel inferior. The same principle applies to individuals. Those who have developed their lives to the point of excellence, make others who have not, feel inferior, unless they are very careful about how they carry themselves. Noblemen discipline themselves to be dignified at all times. Matsura Seizen The warrior should develop his life to the point of excellence, while at the same time...
Brian Dawkins has never published his workout regimen. But everyone associated with him claims that he works out harder, and with more intensity, than any other NFL player they know. Dawk himself says that he is a beast on the field because of his "controlled fury", and his workouts are designed to support a chart-topping level of intensity. "I always heard I was too small and wouldn't last playing football. But I matured and worked hard to enable myself to play at the next level." - Brian Dawkins Since the details of Brian Dawkins' workouts (especially his off-season workout) are not public knowledge, we'll have to resort to generalities based on the hints he's dropped in the past.

BUILDING MUSCLE IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE Have you ever wondered why long-term prisoners incarcerated in correctional facilities all seem to be so BIG and POWERFUL?

A lot of Muay Thai fighters look to condition their shins by kicking hard wood or something similar. This is not a good way to go about doing this and may result in injury. If you want to properly condition your shins, then you'll need to kick something a bit softer than a hard wood. Certain soft woods can be kicked with moderate intensity, but you still run the risk of damaging your shin. Kicking hard objects damages your shin because, frankly, they are usually harder [or at least less brittle] than the bone in your shin. This will lead to the bone getting a bunch of small fractures that can culminate in a serious injury or break. This is something you want to avoid when conditioning your...

There are a lot of different medications you can use to fight acne. One common choice for women is birth control or "the pill". This method can be used for teenage girls as well as adult women, but men should never take birth control pills for any reason. Those female hormones are really not good for the male system and will do a lot more harm than good. If you are female, this method of acne control can seem like a miracle cure. If your acne is bad enough that you need acne medication, the pill is a really good choice. Chances are you would not be able to take the stronger acne medication along with the pill anyway. How does it work? Teenage and adult females will likely experience acne outbreaks...

Weapons of offense and defense that are used by law enforcement agents span a wide spectrum. There are guns, batons, tasers, tear gas, pepper spray, LED incapacitators, and some regional specialties that are used to control criminals or protestors.

Guns are the most effective of weapons and are a must to control people when things get out of hand or when the enemy is too dangerous. However, guns can be used only as a last resort because they are lethal and as such the risk element involved is too high. A gun could accidentally wound an innocent person in the vicinity...

People often ask if there are natural remedies for hyperthyroidism. This is understandable: hyperthyroidism, which occurs when the body produces too many thyroid hormones, can be cured using beta blockers, radioactive iodine, or surgery. These methods are expensive, which can prompt people to look for alternatives. To know why some natural remedies for hyperthyroidism work, it pays to understand that hyperthyroidism is caused by an increased level of thyroid hormones in the body. This can cause goiters, organ failure, and changes in appearance. Natural remedies for hyperthyroidism therefore seek to lower these levels of thyroid hormones as well as to allow the body to heal itself through a variety...

To Compete Or Not To Compete? That Is The Question
The other day I had a conversation with a master Black Belt Jiu-Jitsu instructor about the issue of competition. He told me that few students in his school want to compete in tournaments. What's the reason for this? Is this decision based on time restraints, no interest in that aspect of the sport or just out of fear? I am embarking on the exploration of this question. I hope that my ideas spark you to contemplate your choice. What is the meaning of the word COMPETITION? According to Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language Unabridged (1986), the word comes from the Latin word competere, "com-to come together, agree, be suitable, belong, and compete for and petere- to go...
Gene Simco - The History of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu...
Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil Eventually, in Japan many different variations of the art (Jiu-Jitsu) took shape, including Karate, Aikido, and Judo. But these arts were missing essential pieces of what the complete art of Jiu-Jitsu originally held. Soon the day of the Samurai came to an end, the gun replaced the sword, and new sportive ways to practice martial arts were developed. This lack of reality created years of confusion in the martial arts community, a confusion that legendary Bruce Lee would later refer to as the 'classical mess'. The 'sport arts', such as Judo and Kendo were wonderful in the way of offering their practitioners a safe way to realistically train the techniques of their system, but...
Gene Simco - A Victim of Success
I was speaking with a training partner the other day and the subject of Gene Simco's books came up. He stated that he had seen them and actually thought the layout and content was very good, but then said that he had heard some rumors about him online. I too, have been reading rumors and have seen a few things here and there from questioning his legitimacy to an arrest for abusing a student. So I decided to do my own research and came up with some interesting finds. When you look at the source of the rumors, they have all started on internet forums, not in the "real world". When you look at the people propelling the rumors, you will see that there are a few of the usual suspects who keep either...

Do you know where real punching power is generated and released? It’s in the final inch or two of motion. Legendary martial artist, Bruce Lee, was known for demonstrating this fact with his famous “one inch punch.” Lee would position his fist just one inch in front of the abdomen of a subject and – without moving his hand backward whatsoever – would unleash a punch that would lift the subject off his feet and launch him into a waiting chair several feet behind him. Many boxing and martial arts techniques involve intercepting or redirecting an opponent’s punch or kick before it reaches full extension. These techniques are only possible because of the reduced energy contained in a punch or...

Achieving Goals Through Patience - Is Patience...
Patience, whether about achieving goals or anything else, is not a popular virtue in the modern world. How valuable is patience today? A young woman in the UK has just been jailed for 20 years. She wanted to make three million pounds quickly by killing rich people. As part of her plan, she conducted a trial murder by knifing a kindly neighbour 14 times.
