Sound is one of the most important medium used for delivering information. With rising crime in today’s society, especially against women, carrying some sort of effective weapon for self-defense purposes has become quite essential. This technology emits sound in a highly controlled, narrow beam, so that audio can be heard only when you are in the field of beam or in a position to hear the reflected sound from a virtual source .Sound wave in the audible range has a characteristic to spread in various directions while moving, but ultrasound is unidirectional. This characteristic of sound finds applications at a lot of different areas. Parametric loudspeakers can be used in the advertisement industry where audio is considered as a key influence but is abstained from use because the sound being multi-directional spreads and bothers even the people not in target.  Usually, in case of a riot, smoke grenades and tear gases are used to control the rioters, which on addition on controlling the target also affect the innocents. This study highlights on using an ultrasonic weapon rather than weapons like hand gun, which can be unsafe and might also initiate legal intrusion.Nowadays MEMS ultrasonic transducers have been put to use which has got very portable design outlet .The study uses the application of ultrasonic beams and sound focusing to build a portable women safety device similar to that of a stun gun.

The article is devoted to the study of places of worship in traditional Mari culture, which are in varying degrees of sacredness. They have so far preserved artifacts and symbols that form the cultural identity of the people. The Mari religion in the most complete local traditions preserves the system of pagan cults and rites. The trend towards the revival of pagan religion and the creation of religious organizations and communities is associated with a general upsurge in national identity. This became necessary in the context of national movements as a means of ethnic self-defense and a factor of ethnocultural revival. Original ethnocultural traditions and formative elements of folk architecture are relevant and important in the design of modern architectural complexes and the creation of small architectural forms in folk architecture, landscape design, and the formation of an ethnocultural environment. Further sacralization of places of worship will contribute to the preservation of natural monuments and the manifestation of artifacts and symbols of cultural identity.

AbstractThis Article explores three theories of humanitarian intervention that appear in, or are inspired by, the writings of Hugo Grotius. One theory asserts that natural law authorizes all states to punish violations of the law of nations, irrespective of where or against whom the violations occur, to preserve the integrity of international law. A second theory, which also appears in Grotius’s writings, proposes that states may intervene as temporary legal guardians for peoples who have suffered intolerable cruelties at the hands of their own state. Each of these theories has fallen out of fashion today based on skepticism about their natural law underpinnings and concerns about how they have facilitated Western colonialism. As an alternative, this Article outlines a third theory that builds upon Grotius’s account of humanitarian intervention as a fiduciary relationship, while updating Grotius’s account for the twenty-first century. According to this new fiduciary theory, when states intervene to protect human rights abroad they exercise an oppressed people’s right of self-defense on their behalf and may use force solely for the people’s benefit. As fiduciaries, intervening states bear obligations to consult with and honor the preferences of the people they seek to protect, and they must respect international human rights governing the use of force within the affected state. By clarifying the respective responsibilities of the Security Council and individual states for humanitarian intervention, the fiduciary theory also lends greater coherency to the international community’s “responsibility to protect” human rights.

At long last, the people of Iraq are freed from the brutality of Saddam Hussein. The swift success of the coalition’s military campaign has been followed by predictable difficulties in organizing a hew government, restoring an economy, rebuilding civic society, and quelling violence from remnants of the old regime. But these challenges are kept in scale by recalling a dictator who murdered three hundred thousand fellow citizens. Saddam chose weapons of mass destruction as the central symbol of his domestic and international swagger—using the same internal security apparatus to parry United Nations inspectors and to extinguish domestic political dissent. Removing Iraq’s Ba’athist regime has ended a looming danger to regional neighbors, including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The crucial hopes for Middle East peace may also be enhanced by the change. And a new government in Baghdad lessens the chance that weapons matériel will be transferred to ill-intentioned nonstate actors.

Oleh karenanya tari Garigiak diakui pula sebagai produk budaya asli Kecamatan Batipuah, yang memiliki makna khusus dalam kehidupan masyarakat pendukungnya. Tari Garigiak, memiliki gaya gerak yang tidak jauh berbeda dari Silek Parian itu sendiri.

Dengan demikian kesenian tradisional tari Garigiak dapat dikatakan sebagai hasil dari proses kreativitas, berupa produk baru yang diciptakan oleh keturunan Tuan Gadang Batipuah.

Most people dodge responsibility, because it'smuch easier to avoid responsibility, rather than accept responsibility. Many peopledodge responsibility, because it's easier to shift responsibility, rather than stand upboldly and declare unequivocally that, It's my responsibility. Many people are veryhappy with the throwing shoulder its responsibilities to other people.Hence came a proverb, hidden stone throwing hand.

Some people, because they can not understand the meaning ofresponsibility; often in his life very fond of self-defense with the words, It was notmy fault. Too many people are in vain, to spend time to avoid responsibility byblaming the other person, rather than to accept responsibility, and bravely face anychallenge in front of him.Many events in this country, which is caused by people who are not responsible,instead often won or excessive relief granted by the environment with highlyimplausible. It's very sad. At the present time, many people who dodgeresponsibility, because they have gained from that attitude. More teragis again, offthat responsibility is often supported by a nearby neighborhood, his friends, hischildren, his boss, his son, even supported by his wife or her husband. Can be seen,for example, corruption, and manipulation. Most of the people in the nearbyenvironment were supportive, because they are all bound to feel the results of it'scorruption or manipulation.
