What is a pepper spray?
The main ingredient of pepper spray is Capsicum Oleoresin which is extracted from fully ripened red hot chillies. The chemical compound found in this agent causes a burning sensation in the eyes resulting in tears, pain and even temporary blindness. When sprayed at a range from 5 to 7 feet, it incapacitates the attacker for a minimum of 25 to 30 minutes.
How do I use it?
The main purpose of a pepper spray is to bring down the attacker. First, you must have proper knowledge about the product. You must acquaint yourself with things like what is the maximum distance from which you can spray, how long is the effect and the how many shots the product offers. Having said that, do read the manual before you go about choosing one.
What are the different types of pepper sprays available in the market?
Available in different dispersion patterns – foam, liquid or gel – pepper sprays are usually stored under pressure in an aerosol can with a carrier and a propellant.
Do I need a permit to use one?
In the US, Hong Kong, New Zealand and most other countries, owning a pepper spray requires a proper permit or license. In India, however, you do not need one.
Where can I buy a pepper spray?
With sexual violence increasing in India, a number of online shopping sites have come forward to help women defend themselves by introducing various types of pepper sprays. Log on right away to order one for yourself, for your friend, sister or mom.
A good quality pepper spray should cost you anywhere between Rs.200 to 500.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com prediction: Ken Whisenhunt out in Arizona
The Arizona Cardinals will wrap up their season Sunday in San Francisco.
Come Monday, Ken Whisenhunt's tenure as the team's head coach may end, too.
Barring an upset against the 49ers the Cardinals will finish the season with a 5-11 record — their second such mark in the last three seasons — with many believing the only coach to lead the franchise to the Super Bowl will be out of work.
Included in that group is NFL.com's Adam Schein, who wrote a piece about what is known as "Black Monday".
Whisenhunt is a very good coach. If Arizona had held on to beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII, there would be a Ken Whisenhunt statue outside of the Cardinals' stadium. Personally, I wouldn't fire Whisenhunt.
But this season has been an embarrassment. The quarterback situation is between sad and laughable, and Whisenhunt hasn't handled it well. The no-show against the Seattle Seahawks was alarming. They are wasting Larry Fitzgerald and a talented defense.
The educated guess: Whisenhunt is let go, and defensive coordinator Ray Horton takes over as head coach.
The common theme from most "experts" is that Whisenhunt is a good coach who has done a poor job the last few years. His first three years in the desert led to 27 wins and two playoff appearences, while his last three have seen the team win just 18 games. In all, Whisenhunt has a 45-50 mark with the Cardinals.

Western countries need to mobilize together into a coalition that will strike at Iran's nuclear facilities, former head of the Mossad Danny Yatom said on Sunday.Speaking at the International Institute of Counter-Terrorism (ICT) Conference at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya, Yatom, a former Labor Party MK, said that only military force will succeed in stopping Iran.RELATED:Iran denies it is building secret nuclear facilityRussian
FM tells Iran to cooperate with IAEA"Since the sanctions are not enough I am hopeful that the world will come to its senses and reach the conclusion that in order to stop the Iranian nuclear arms race we will have to attack some of their nuclear facilities," Yatom said in rare comments for a former top Israeli security official regarding the use of military force against Iran.While some of the Iranian nuclear facilities are scattered throughout the country and are built underground in fortified bunkers, if the world "mobilizes its capabilities" it would be possible to cause enough damage to delay the program.

A Tale of Two Rays
by: Jonathan Watters - Director of NCAA Scouting
February 17, 2005
It's easy to remember the early days of
Raymond Felton
's arrival on the college basketball scene. He was the savior - the future hero of a powerhouse program that had suddenly turned not-so-powerful. As he led his freshman-dominated North Carolina team to the 2002 NIT championship, it was hard to see anything but immediate success for Felton or his storied program. 3 years later, it's clear that things haven't always gone as originally planned. The coach that recruited him is gone. Felton has had plenty of dominating performances, but also plenty of showings he probably wishes he could forget - and the Heels have yet to advance to a sweet 16. Perhaps on the verge of the greatness that was his destiny as he emerged in the world of college basketball, it is time for
Raymond Felton
to sink or to shine – and begin to make a name for himself at the next level.
The trait that defines
Raymond Felton
as a basketball player is his explosiveness. He is an outstanding leaper and a speedster, to be sure, but that burst of athleticism in his first step has made many a defender simply wilt. When he attacks the basket, he just isn't going to be stopped without help. While this shows up in his drives to the basket, it also shows up in other areas. On the fast break, he changes direction and is around a defender before his man fully realizes what has happened. On defense, the minute his opponent lets his guard down, Felton is on the attack. He can use his blinding lateral quickness to literally descend on and overpower his opponents in the backcourt. This translates into steals, and plenty of fast break buckets. NBA coaches dream of having a floor general that can explode past defenders the way that
Raymond Felton
As with many athletic PG's, Felton is most successful in the open court. He seems to have an unlimited amount of energy, and always plays the game at full speed. His eyes and mind always seem to be a step ahead of the defense's. Spectacular passes on the move are commonplace when watching Felton. Combine these two traits, and you will see why North Carolina is always a threat to score on the fast break. The fact that the Heels regularly score fast break buckets immediately after an opponent's made basket is only a testament to Felton's domination in the open floor. There are times when you see a light go on in his head, and he takes over games. He picks up the pace of the game, starts being more assertive with the ball, and literally runs teams into the ground. Many are top-tier ACC opponents. If there is another guard with this type of game-changing ability, I would like to watch him.
A knock on Felton in the past has been his shot. He made just 42% of his FG's a year ago, while shooting just 31% from beyond the arc. After dedicating himself to a summer of revamping his form, those numbers are up to 48% and 46% this season. It seems that not only does he leave it all out there every time he steps onto the court for a game; he also knows how to work hard away from the shining lights. It is a major development that teams now must respect Felton's outside shot, making him that much more effective off the dribble. Furthermore, he has shown NBA scouts that he has the dedication to make himself a better player.
So with all this high praise and natural PG ability, why can't we find Raymond on an All-American list or the country's statistical leader board? This issue is one of consistency. For every game where Felton puts his team on his back and wills the Heels to victory, he has a game in which he commits crucial turnovers over a short span and allows a team back into a game. When things are clicking for him, you won't find a better creator in all of college basketball. But when he's having an off night, you can pretty much see the turnovers before they actually happen. Every point guard has an off night every now and then, but they seem to happen a bit more frequently with Ray, as his five games of 7 or more turnovers this year will attest. Felton seems to have a bit more trouble against the premier ACC teams that have guards who can almost match his quickness. While he's anything but clumsy, his hands may be a bit slower than his mind. Many of his turnovers are of the unforced variety.
Another question some may ask is why Felton averages just 12 ppg, despite having just great ability to get to the basket. The low scoring output can be partially attributed to the talent of his teammates, and his role in Roy Williams' offense – getting them the ball. However, it seems that Felton gets complacent within the UNC scheme at times, and doesn't look to attack defenses with the dribble. This is a shame, because not only is it UNC's best weapon on offense, it's also exactly what scouts want to see Ray do more consistently.
Nothing typifies Felton's struggles with hold and cold play like UNC's loss to Duke last week. The Heels were down by nine with five minutes left, when Felton did his typical thing. He began pushing the ball, getting to the rim, and blowing by rapidly tiring defenders. The Heels got within 1 and had the ball for the game's final possession. Felton blew by
Daniel Ewing
at the top of the key, and had a clear path into the middle of the lane. However, he chose to pull the ball back out with under six seconds to play and set up
Rashad McCants
. The result of the play was a turnover, no shot attempt, and the loss. This play seems to illustrate how Felton's turnover problems come about. Most explosive PG's run into problems when they try to do too much, or push too hard. Felton seems to struggle when he's thinking too much, and thrives only when he's pushing himself (and everyone around him) to the max.
So where does this leave
Raymond Felton
in terms of draft stock? He is just a junior, so he could return for another season. However, I don't believe that he will. It is currently fashionable to view him as the 2nd best PG draftable PG in 2005, behind his much-hyped ACC counterpart
Chris Paul
. On the good nights, I have to say that I like
Raymond Felton
significantly better. He has a certain explosive, creative flair about him that no other college PG currently employs, and a defender knows that if he loses focus,
Raymond Felton
is going to make him pay. Where Paul might be a better scorer in the league, Felton has a chance to be the next great creator PG in the league, and have an impact like TJ Ford was having a season ago before the injuries. However, this incredible potential has to be balanced out with the bad nights, where turnover could be his middle name. For some, the night-to-night lack of consistency drops Felton to the end of the lottery, maybe even further down into the middle of the first round. I am still taking a "wait and see" approach before I move him too high up in the lottery on my personal draft board, but he just plays the game right. I can't help but root for his long-term success.
Raymond Felton
certainly has the chance to solidify or even raise his draft stock in the coming month. The eyes of the nation will be on North Carolina, generally considered the most talented team out there. Felton has made a name out of stepping up his play in short bursts, and putting teams away. If he can assert himself and do this over a stretch of games on a national stage, hearing his name called in the top 5 on draft night is a real possibility.

Most of the largest newspapers in the Northeast corridor did not publish a single piece covering this winter's major snowstorms in the context of global warming, despite strong scientific evidence that climate change creates the conditions for heavier snowstorms. The major broadcast networks and cable news channels also provided scant mention of climate change in their discussions of the snowstorms, with the notable exception of MSNBC, which provided extensive coverage of the topic. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Fox News, the Boston Herald and the Providence Journal featured content that used the snowstorms to deny climate science.
In reports on the possible indictment of former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik on charges relating to a company suspected of having ties to organized crime, Newsday, MSNBC's Hardball, and Fox News' Special Report all uncritically aired statements by Rudy Giuliani suggesting he had been unaware of Kerik's relationship with Interstate Industrial Corp. However, in April 2006, Giuliani reportedly "told a grand jury that the former city commissioner of investigation remembered briefing him on some aspects of Mr. Kerik's relationship to the company in question."
The headline of a Newsday article on Bill O'Reilly's controversial remarks about a Harlem restaurant run by African-Americans asserted, "O'Reilly lashes out at CNN over misquoted report," but the article provided no examples of a "misquot[ation]," nor did it quote O'Reilly claiming to have been "misquoted." The article also stated that "Mediamatters.org released a partial transcript" of O'Reilly's comments. In fact, Media Matters provided the relevant transcript and audio clip of O'Reilly's remarks, which included the full context of his statements.
A Newsday article on Sen. Hillary Clinton's health care reform proposal repeated an assertion made in a 2006 New York Times article that the health care "industry contributed more than $850,000 to her re-election campaign, the second highest level of contributions to any senator." But Newsday did not note that the number includes donations from individual health care professionals, such as nurses and doctors, and neither newspaper reported that if only health care PAC donations were considered -- that is, donations from the actual health care "industry" -- Clinton drops off the list of top 25 congressional recipients of health care industry money entirely.
CBSNews.com and Newsday uncritically reported Rudy Giuliani's assertion during the May 15 Republican presidential debate that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said "that the unfettered free market is the most disastrous thing in modern America." In fact, Clinton said she agreed with the following quote, which she included in her book It Takes a Village: "The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation." Explaining further, Clinton said "that the market is the driving force behind our prosperity ... but that it cannot be permitted just to run roughshod over people's lives as well."

Athlete Taivon Jacobs headed to Ohio State
While there are plenty of very good players on the Ohio State roster, there is undoubtedly going to be a reshaping of it with Urban Meyer bringing his brand of offense into Columbus. Part of the transformation will include bringing in players that can do big things in space and the Buckeyes landed one on Thursday as District Heights (Md.) athlete Taivon Jacobs committed to program.
"I just called Coach Meyer and told him I'm going to be a Buckeye," Jacobs told BuckeyeGrove.com. "Coach said that he was excited to have me and he can't wait to see what I can do on the field. I told him that it's time to go get that crystal ball (laughs)."
The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder held offers from Maryland, West Virginia, Notre Dame and several others. Jacobs strongly considered staying in-state but felt the fit in the offense and with the coaching staff at Ohio State ultimately made it the place for him.
"I really had a great relationship with coach (Zach) Smith and that played a very important role in my decision," he said. "I like how they are going to utilize me on offense. They said they are going to use me like they used Chris Rainey (at Florida). They have talked about me being in the backfield, getting it in the slot and in the flat and also being a deep threat."
Jacobs becomes the 15th commitment for Ohio State's class of 2013. He had 35 catches for 972 yards and 13 touchdowns as a junior last year on offense and was also a standout defensive back named to MaxPreps' All-American second team. Additionally, he recorded an impressive nine return touchdowns and six interceptions on the season.

"Root Beer Rag" is a song from Billy Joel's 1974 album Streetlife Serenade. An instrumental track in a very fast ragtime style, it was later released as the B-side of several singles from Joel's 52nd Street album, including "Big Shot" in the US, "Until the Night" in the UK, and "Honesty" in Japan and some European countries. A live version was included with the DVD that was part of the 30th anniversary re-release of The Stranger.
The German a cappella group Wise Guys recorded a notable cover version of the song.[1] The original version by Joel was also used as the theme music to a 1980s sports program in New Zealand broadcast by TV One. It was also used in the 1980s on Radio Bayern 3 in Germany for the Saturday and Sunday late morning show called Musikbox. The song is in C major and is one of three studio instrumentals that he has released.
"Root Beer Rag" was also the name of a Billy Joel newsletter (now defunct) published in the late 1970s to early 1980s.
In response to an audience question about the song's origin during one of Joel's musical lectures, Joel gave the following explanation:
I got my first Moog Synthesizer. This was in the mid 70s and I got my first Moog and I put it on every record. I said 'I have to write an instrumental where I can use this Moog Synthesizer. It kinda turned me off the synthesizers forever after. That's why I wrote that song. Just purely out of stupid self-indulgence.[2]
Author Ken Bielen describes "Root Beer Rag" as a fast ragtime piano work.[3] Joel biographer Hank Bordowitz describes the song as "homebrewed ragtime.".[4] Other instruments include Moog synthesizer, pedal steel guitar and drums, the latter of which are played with drum brushes.[3] A figure used in the beginning and then throughout the song is similar to one that Joel would use the introductions of later songs, including "Prelude/Angry Young Man."[3]
Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls "Root Beer Rag" "admittedly enjoyable" and suggests that it was influenced by the movie The Sting and that movie's Scott Joplin-based soundtrack.[5]
In 2014, the song was featured in the documentary film Life Itself.
Notable cover versions[edit]
- As abovementioned, the song was covered by the Wise Guys.
- Richard Clayderman released a cover of the song in 1983.
- Silvan Zingg included the song on his 2005 album Boogie Woogie Trilogy.
- Rich Holly's percussion ensemble arrangement with soloist Jeff Senley on the O-Zone Percussion Group's Whiplash album.
- Dagmar Krug released a single of "Root Beer Rag" as a tribute to Joel in 2012.
- Johnny Lingo's 2010 album Somewhere To Go features the song.[6]

The art contest, sponsored by the Historic Main Street Merchants Association, is open to K-second grades; third-fifth grades; sixth-eighth grades; and ninth-12th grades.
"The Historic Main Street Merchants Association has sponsored the Children's Art Contest for over a decade now, and its popularity has grown each year," said Jeanne Rose, president of the association.

This is a freestyle art contest. Drawings may be done in pencil, ink, crayon, paint or any other medium.
Entries should be mailed or delivered to the Comfort Suites, 4195 Main St., Chincoteague, Va. 23336 on or before April 15. The artwork will be on display at various Historic Main Street Merchants on Chincoteague prior to the celebration on May 11.

This week, designers seemed to care about two things, and two things only: the '90s, and the peplum. But Tory Burch ignored both, sticking with what she does best—preppy, eclectic chic. Her collection was filled with all the earthy prints, tribal jewelry and snappy colors I've come to associate with the brand.
Yet I didn't mind the lack of surprise—in fact, I'm kind of into it. Because, as cool as they seem now, I'll eventually grow tired of bathing bonnets, overalls and midriff-baring Mickey Mouse sweaters. But Tory's timeless summer dresses? Those I'd wear forever.

Depression is a common yet potentially serious symptom of menopause. It entails more than the occasional bout of sadness and, if not treated, can lead to more severe mental disorders and a lessened quality of life.
Women are especially susceptible to depression and when approaching menopause are even more so. Women ages 45 to 55 are four times more likely to have depression than women who have not yet reached that stage in life.
The main reason women, especially menopausal women, are more likely to suffer from depression is because of their hormonal imbalance. Continue reading to learn all about depression, its signs and symptoms, causes, and treatment options.
About Depression
The general use of the term depression refers to a mental state characterized by a pessimistic sense of inadequacy, feelings of sadness, and a despondent lack of activity.
But because depression is a clinical mental disorder, it's important to distinguish feelings of sadness and despondency from clinical depression.
Clinical depression is more severe than brief periods of sadness. It is a serious mental illness characterized by more than two weeks of extremely low moods that affect how a person feels, thinks, and acts.
Types of depression
There are six main types of depression. Some are more related to menopause than others. The following are categories of depression closely linked to menopause:
Major depression. Lasts for more than two weeks and is characterized by intense feelings of sadness, loss of interest in normal activities, withdrawal from friends and family, and negative thoughts.
Did You Know?
Untreated depression can lead to a greater risk of heart attacks and osteoporosis.
Dysthymic disorder. Less intense than major depression, but often lasts for longer, normally for two years or more.
Adjustment disorder. Often brought on by a stressful event or situation. It can be acute (lasting less than six months) or chronic (lasting longer).
Risk Factors for Depression:
History of depression
Smoking or quitting smoking
Drug and alcohol use
Surgical/medical menopause
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD). A type of depression that is triggered by the seasons and most commonly caused by a lack of sunlight in the winter months.
Other types of depression less associated with menopause, but just as severe, include the following:
Manic depression or bipolar disorder. A brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. Symptoms can be very severe.
Psychotic depression. Includes some features of psychosis, such as hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there) or delusions (irrational thoughts and fears).
Click on the following link to read more about depression, or continue reading below to learn about the signs and symptoms of depression.
It is important to be aware of the common myths about depression. Depression is characterized by persistent feelings of intense sadness, apathy, and helplessness. Talking to a counselor has been known to help lessen depression symptoms. Staying active can also help improve mood and release serotonin and endorphins in the brain.
It has been reported in one study that up to half of the women who underwent a hysterectomy suffered from post-operational depression. There are a number of factors that contribute to this risk, but luckily, there are ways to prevent and treat depression after the surgery.
Signs and Symptoms of Depression
Because depression is a mental disorder, it's important to pinpoint the symptoms associated with it. The symptoms can be separated into three categories: physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. In order for depression to be diagnosed, at least five symptoms must be present for no less than two weeks, and at least one of those five must either be persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest or pleasure. Here are the other signs and symptoms:
Physical symptoms
Decreased energy
Appetite loss
Early-morning wakefulness
Excessive sleeping
Persistent aches or pains
Headaches, cramps or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment
Emotional symptoms
Persistent sad, anxious or "empty" feelings
Feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness and/or helplessness
Thoughts of suicide/suicide attempts
Behavioral symptoms
Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex
Difficulty concentrating
Difficulty remembering details
Difficulty making decisions
Neglecting responsibilities
Failing to attend to one's physical appearance
Click on the following link to read more about the signs and symptoms of depression, or continue reading below to learn about the possible causes of depression.
Depression often creeps into lives without warning. Sometimes the symptoms are quiet and subtle, and other times they are raging and obvious. Whether the signs of depression are physical or psychological, it is important to remember you aren't alone. Help is available round the clock.
Depression is a debilitating illness that can affect all aspects of a sufferer's life, and there are many different symptoms that can be displayed. Recognizing the most common symptoms of depression is important for potentially recognizing the condition in yourself or another. Read this article for more information.
Causes of Depression
The underlying cause of depression in menopausal women has to do with hormonal imbalance, especially decreased levels of estrogen. As women approach menopause, their estrogen levels begin to drop off. This hormone plays a big part in regulating brain functions, especially chemicals that influence mood, such as serotonin and cortisol. Decreasing levels of estrogen during menopause can also cause other physical and mental symptoms, such as hot flashes and anxiety, which can lead to depression.
Other causes include biochemical, genetic, personality, environmental factors and disease.
Click on the following link to learn more about the causes of depression, or continue reading to find out about all the different treatment options for depression.
Combatting depression can often seem an impossible task, but often the first step is right under our noses. There are many common habits that trigger or worsen depression, and some people find that fixing these is enough to get rid of depression altogether, but they will also complement other therapies for severe depression.
Treatments for Depression
Although depression can make a woman feel hopeless, a variety of treatment options exist that can help wash away her depression and keep her hope alive. It is generally recommended that women begin with the least invasive option, which would be lifestyle changes. In the case of depression, this involves steps such as making sure to get regular exercise, eating healthy, and practicing mind-body techniques such as meditation or yoga.
By simply including three 30 minute-long sessions of physical activity such as walking, jogging, swimming, and cycling into a weekly routine a woman can greatly relieve her milder symptoms of depression.
Similarly, eating healthily will also help to stabilize mood swings and alleviate depression. Lifestyle changes are an important first step to tackling depression, but there are other treatment options available if a woman were to feel that she needs further help in regaining a positive outlook on life.
The most effective approach, as depression in menopausal women is primarily caused by a hormonal imbalance, is to treat the problem directly at the hormonal source. A variety of natural and alternative supplements exist that may be able to address this imbalance.
For more prolonged or severe cases of depression, it may be necessary to seek the advice of a healthcare professional and possibly seek pharmaceutical options, though these carry the most risk of undesirable side effects.
Click on the following link to read more specifics about each of the treatments for depression in order to learn how to alleviate this symptom in a safe and effective way.
Depression is a serious mental illness, and menopausal women are at higher risk of developing it. Genetics, environment, and emotional trauma can accelerate the development of depression. Getting professional help, having a solid support system, and staying active are all helpful ways to overcome pain and depression.
Whether you are suffering from depression or just find yourself in a continuous funk, go out and buy yourself a journal. Allow it to be a sacred place between you and your innermost thoughts. Work through your feelings by expressing everything on paper and learn from that.

Tax competition and governmental efficiency: Theory and evidence
This paper studies the impact of a government's efficiency on the taxation policy of a state. Namely, we claim that the countries are different both in the way they tax capital and the way they spend the collected revenue. We build a model of 2 countries competing for foreign investment, government of one of them is more efficient than the other one, which means that it is able to produce more public good out of the same revenue. We show that the country with the more efficient government will charge higher income tax from firms. The theoretical predictions are then tested on a sample of OECD countries, years 1996-2005. In general, empirical results are in line with the theory.

Riverview Bungalows
One of the best bungalow options in town
What we say:
Over the years Riverside Bungalows has undergone significant renovations to now be one of the best bungalow options in town. Operated by jolly Mama Tjum, these bungalows are located at the far end of town, where fewer guests choose to stay, and away from the noisy boat dock. Bungalows are made from solid wood and oriented differently from many others in town to make the most of the spectacular views. Hammocks are standard, the beds come with a mosquito net and the bathrooms are cold water shower jobs with bucket flush Western toilets. You might be lucky to score some hot water in the middle of a sunny day due to the way the pipes are arranged in this place, but don't bank on it if you really must have hot water. Perhaps the best thing about this place is Mama Tjum, who will do everything to make sure you are comfortable. Beers magically appear when you are getting thirsty and plates of yummy food arrive just when you thought you might crawl out of the hammock to find something to eat. A top spot.

Once you put the cleanser on your face you feel it working, but it does not foam or remove makeup. A little confusing on how to best use it if you dont want to use a new washcloth everyday. As of now, I just use it like any other cleanser, but dont expect foaming or deep cleansing.
I have used this c serum for a couple of years and love it. I have used c products from SkinCeuticals, Citrix and cellex c and this one is my favorite.
I have used this for years every day in the AM. It is the best one I have ever used and it smells great! Have tried many others but always come back to this one. I highly recommend it.
