21 Things Your Burglar Won’t Tell You
Self-Defense and Beauty: 8 Beauty Products That You Can Use As Weapons | Allure (Whether you’re in a dark alley or in your own home!)
“I say: Use what you’ve got, and the more tools on you, the better,” says self-defense expert Jennifer Cassetta. “There are probably lots of male self-defense instructors who are going to see this article and be like, ‘Oh, that won’t work,’ but that’s just what I deal with on a day-to-day basis from the self-defense world.”
Watch Jennifer Cassetta’s video – “The Shortest Self-Defense Class Ever!” (Self Defense – Jennifer Cassetta)
Only 3 minutes, 33 seconds!
5 moves!
Jennifer created Stilletto’s & Self-Defense in 2009, but “I’ve hung up my stilettos and now teach She Warrior Self Defense for women and gender-neutral Personal Safety and Self defense seminars for all.”
Ripple is “the world’s first wearable support network” ~ a wearable safety device that keeps you – or a loved one – connected to a professional monitoring team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in the United States.
The device itself consists of a small square-shaped device that can easily be clipped onto a zipper – say, the zipper on your jacket. This is called the Ripple Button.
After clipping the device on your zipper, you enjoy 24/7 monitoring anywhere in the United States by a professional team of safety experts.
As the makers of Ripple explain, the “team knows all your vital information ahead of time, saving you invaluable time during an emergency situation.”
To activate Ripple’s emergency response, you tap the button three times. This contacts the Ripple team, then immediately dispatches emergency responders to your location.
Who is Ripple Designed For?
Here are some of the reasons why the creators of Ripple want you to use their device:
- Walking back to your dorm at night across campus
- Walking to your car in a poorly-lit parking lot
- Walking home through your neighborhood at night
- Investigating a suspicious sound at night in your backyard
- Lost in an unknown city or part of town you’ve never been in before
- When you “need a convenient interruption to disrupt an awkward encounter”
Essentially, Ripple is an emergency call button you can press at any time to alert emergency services.

Threats to children’s internet safety include invasions of privacy, cyberbullying, sexting and harassment. Options to protect your children include parental controls, apps and tracking software. But the most effective way to keep your kids safe is to talk with them about online risks, how to avoid them and how they can come to you when something goes wrong.
Internet safety for kids depends on parents being aware of online risks and understanding how to help their children and teens avoid them.
Almost every American child and teen has access to the internet. They socialize in online games or on smartphones just as they would on a playground. They live largely in a digital community. But like any community, there are risks and dangers.
Parents are the best suited to monitor kids’ online activity. They are also the most trusted adults most kids will turn to if they experience online dangers. Understanding what your children or teens do online is vital to protecting them from digital threats. . .
What Are Kids Doing Online?
~ 30 percent have used the internet in ways their parents wouldn’t approve
~ 21 percent have visited sites where they can chat with strangers
~ 17 percent have visited porn sites
~ 11 percent have visited sites that offer ways to cheat on homework
~ 4 percent have visited online gambling sites
