On May 15, 1948. A three-year-old’s brutal murder begins an unusual investigation. On May 15, 1948, 3-year-old June Devaney, recovering from pneumonia at Queen’s Park Hospital in Blackburn, England, is kidnapped from her bed. Nurses discovered her missing at 1:20 a.m. the next day, and police were immediately summoned to investigate. Two hours later, her body was found with multiple skull fractures. The medical examiner determined that Devaney had been raped and then swung headfirst into a wall. Two significant clues were found in the children’s ward that would prove helpful in catching the killer: footprints on the freshly cleaned floor and a water bottle that had been moved. Although there were several fingerprints on the bottle, police were able to account for all but one set. These prints also failed to match any of those in the police’s database of known criminals. Investigators fingerprinted over 2,000 people who had access to the hospital. Still, they couldn’t find a match. Detective Inspector John Capstick then went even further: He decided that every man in the town of Blackburn, a city with more than 25,000 homes, would be fingerprinted. A procedure such as this would be impossible in the United States where Fourth Amendment protections prevent searches without probable cause. But the plan went into effect in Blackburn on May 23, with police assurances that the collected prints would be destroyed afterward. Two months later, the police had collected over 40,000 sets of prints yet still had not turned up a match. Checking against every registry they could find, authorities determined that there were still a few men in town who hadn’t provided their prints. On August 11, police caught up with one of these men, Peter Griffiths. His footprints matched the ones found at the scene. When his fingerprints also came back a match, he confessed to the awful crime, blaming it on alcohol. Griffiths was found guilty of murder and was executed on November 19, 1948. #Crime, #Kidnapped, #Missing, #Killer, #Alcohol,

Why scary movies may be good for your health. Watching a scary movie can burn as many calories as exercise. We're all familiar with the feelings that come with watching a fright flick — the sense of dread that engulfs us as a character enters a foreboding place, ominous music building, etc. According to a 2012 study commissioned by the video subscription service Lovefilm, these heart-pounding moments can do more than cause a good old-fashioned scare, however. Of the 10 movies tested, half caused participants to burn at least 133 calories, more than the amount used up by a 140-pound adult on a brisk 30-minute walk. Granted, this limited study was hardly robust enough to earn a write-up in a peer-reviewed journal. Yet the science behind the results is essentially valid, thanks to human hard-wiring that traces to when our primitive ancestors had good reason to fear the monsters lurking in the night. When exposed to a harrowing situation, our sympathetic nervous system triggers the "flight or fight" response, which sends adrenaline into the bloodstream, diverts blood and oxygen to muscles, and kicks heart activity into a higher gear. Add in the outwardly physical reactions often prompted by the scariest scenes, such as jumping back in your seat or instinctively reaching for a companion, and it's easy to see how sitting through The Shining (184 calories) or Jaws (161 calories) delivers results akin to sweating through a workout. There are other benefits to putting ourselves through this sort of simulated danger, including the release of endorphins and dopamine, which allows us to feel relaxed and fulfilled after "surviving" the events witnessed on screen. Of course, not everyone is a fan of the frightening imagery in The Exorcist (158 calories) or Alien (152 calories), and researchers caution that stress can outweigh the gains for people who are genuinely repulsed by these movies. If health is your goal and the sight of blood makes you queasy, you're better off rising from the couch and getting your legs moving instead of watching someone else flee the clutches of a zombie. Calories burned during the study's airing of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” 118 Competitive chess players can burn up to 6,000 calories per day during a tournament. If scary movies aren't your cup of tea and you want another creative way to burn calories, then competitive chess may be your ticket. According to Stanford University researcher Robert Sapolsky, a chess player can go through 6,000 calories a day over the course of a tournament, about three times the daily amount expended by the average person. The reasons are largely the same as those previously mentioned — the heightened tension of a high-stakes game forces bodies into a state of energy-consuming overdrive. However, the effects are magnified by the behavior of participants, who often skip meals and endure sleepless nights as they obsess over strategy. As a result, top players have taken to training like professional athletes to prepare for the grueling toll of tournaments. Norway's Magnus Carlsen, for example, partakes in an array of activities that include running, soccer, skiing, and yoga, a regimen that helped him reign supreme as the undisputed world chess champion from 2013 to 2023.

Active Shooter Definition An Active Shooter is one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. Active Shooter Protocol 1. Run & Escape Run away and escape from an active shooter threat as your first priority. Once you are safe call 911. 2. Hide Hide if running away and escaping is not possible: block the door, avoid windows, and silence your cell phone. 3. Fight If you cannot run away, escape, or hide, then fight the active shooter only as a last resort if your life is in danger. Active Shooter Practices & Tips Act Quickly Active shooter situations are unpredictable, evolve quickly, and are typically over within 10-15 minutes. You must prepare mentally and physically, and act quickly to survive. Situational Awareness Always be aware of your environment, persons, and activity around you. Take note of your two nearest exits, hiding places like rooms with doors, and any objects that can be used as weapons as a last resort. How To Run & Escape Know your exits, escape route, and plan beforehand. Leave your belongings behind and evacuate whether others agree to follow. Keep your hands up and visible, follow law enforcement's directions, and provide information about the shooter. How to Hide Find or stay in a room, lock the door, and blockade it with heavy furniture. Silence your cell phone and turn off any sources of noise like laptops or televisions. Hide behind large items like desks, cabinets, or furniture, and remain silent. How to Fight Attack the active shooter by surprise, and act aggressively and decisively. Throw items and use objects or improvised weapons against the active shooter. Yell and shout, commit to your actions, and try to incapacitate the active shooter. #armyourself

4 Effective Self Defense Strikes There are many different punches, kicks, strikes and moves that someone can use to defend themselves against an attacker. However, are they all created equal, and will they all be effective at self-defense? The answer is no. Some self-defense strikes and moves are intended to inflict significant damage and therefore require lots of windup and power, which may be ineffective if you are trying to stun the attacker and flee. Similarly, some strikes and moves are intended to target certain body parts, hold the other person down, or submit the opponent, and may not be effective in a practical real life situation where you're not trying to wrestle with your attacker on the street. Here are 4 effective self defense strikes that can be used in an everyday dangerous situation to fight off your attacker and flee the scene. 1. Knee or Kick to Groin Kneeing or kicking a male attacker in the groin area can stun and incapacitate him, and give you time to escape the situation. The groin area of a male attacker is a very vulnerable and sensitive area that can cause a lot of pain, shock and loss of balance. The groin area is also reasonably within reach of your leg or foot and more accessible, making the strike easier to unleash and deliver with great force or speed. 2. Strike to Face Striking an attacker in the face with a closed fist or open palm is very effective as it targets the eyes, nose, mouth, throat, and general face, which are all very sensitive areas on the human body. This strike can disorient the attacker by disrupting their vision, focus, and sensory organs, which will give you time to flee the scene. The eyes, nose and mouth are also very rarely covered by clothing or other objects, so they are completely exposed and hence more vulnerable and susceptible to damage. Lastly, an attacker's face is normally right in your line of sight, which increases the accuracy and precision of your strike. 3. Reverse Foot Stomp The reverse foot stomp is a powerful self-defense strike performed when an attacker is holding you from behind. This move is effective because in these instances, your arms, hands and front of your body are normally subdued by the attacker, but your legs and feet are not. The best way to perform this move is to push back submit your body into the hold of the attacker so you can get closer to him, look down at their feet, and stomp as hard as you can on the center and toes of their foot. Ideally this should stun the attacker by causing a wave of pain which will loosen their grip and allow you time to escape. 4. Reverse Elbow The reverse elbow is another self-defense move that can be performed if a predator has grabbed you from behind. While this move can be difficult to execute, if you are able to execute it properly, it can cause significant damage to the perpetrator and give you time to escape. The first reason why this move is effective is because you're again targeting the face which contains the eyes, nose, mouth, throat, and other sensitive facial areas. Any strike to this area can cause significant pain and disorientation. Secondly, the twisting motion of the reverse elbow can be very powerful and fast, even for someone not very strong, due to the torquing motion of the body. The reverse elbow is a great move if an attacker has grabbed you from behind and there's enough space between your body and their body to twist your elbow into their face. #armyourself

Perfect Neighborhood Watch Weapon. Charles was a member of the neighborhood watch in Tinley Park, Illinois. For 15 years, he never encountered any real danger. Most people considered the place quiet and boring. Despite this, he made it a point to be prepared always. He did not carry a gun since watch members were not licensed the same way guards and police officers are, but he could bring a baton and a TASER. His TASER X26P is a powerful weapon, one he never had to use before. One night, his preparedness was rewarded. Just as he was about to head back to the office and call it a night, he heard a scream a few blocks south. Charles ran and found a teenage girl surrounded by two boys who seemed to be attempting to mug and rape her. Both had a knife, and the girl was leaning helplessly against the side of a parked car. Charles acted quickly. He raised his weapon and aimed its laser sight at the man closest to him. Once he squeezed the trigger, the TASER X26P launched its cartridge for a good ten feet and caught the attacker right in the chest. The man was shocked immediately. He collapsed to the ground. If Charles understood correctly, electric currents would blow the man’s nervous systems ajar and he would lose all muscle control for several minutes. He did remain paralyzed on the ground, but Charles could not loosen up just yet because the second man was charging right at him. Charles snapped the cartridge wires off the TASER X26P and ducked right in time to avoid the incoming punch. As this other man swerved past him, Charles rammed the TASER’s end to his ribs and squeezed the trigger again, sending high-voltage currents through his body. With both attackers down, Charles grabbed his walkie-talkie and called for help. As he waited for the police and ambulance to arrive, he stayed by the girl’s side, comforting her and making sure she was not hurt.

Being prepared for the unexpected Christy waited tables at a hip little bistro a few blocks from her apartment. Though she loved her neighborhood, she always prepared for the unexpected. One night, one of the diners got a little out of hand. She could put up with rude customers, and she could even tolerate patrons who had a little too much to drink. She and her boss agreed that anyone who tried to lay hands on her or on any of the wait staff would end up enjoying the rest of their meal "to go." So her boss ejected a customer who looked like a rumpled college professor after he tried to pinch Christy's bottom. The guy created a huge stink, but the customers applauded when he fell down the steps and landed on the sidewalk with a thud. Later that night, after Christy banked out and counted her tip money, she headed back down the street to her place. She thought she heard footsteps behind her, but saw nobody when she swung around. Another block away from the restaurant, she thought she heard a trash can rattle. Still, she couldn't see anyone in the shadows. Only a few steps away from her building's front door, Christy heard someone sneeze. She whipped around to see the drunken customer from earlier that night. He lunged at her, shouting, "I'll show you!" Instead of bolting for the door - she wouldn't have made it in time, anyway - she pulled out her keys. Instead of a usual keychain, Christy carries a Key Chain Pepper Spray. It's small enough to fit in a purse, and durable enough to inflict pain on an attacker. As the drunken patron grabbed for her hair, Christy ducked down and sprayed the attacker in the eyes. Wincing in pain, he buckled over and made another swipe at her. She retaliated by holding onto the spray and swinging her keys against his face. Christy's attacker crouched on the sidewalk while she dialed 9-1-1 on her cell phone. "Next time," Christy said, "stick to what's on the menu."
