Gun Safes - 4 Revealing Statistics Why Firearms Owners Need A Gun Safe

Posted by Airsoft on May 31st, 2008

Gun Safes - 4 Revealing Statistics Why Firearms Owners Need A Gun Safe

If your house is on fire would your gun or firearms be safe?

If a burglar were to break into your house, would he find your gun easily and steal it?

Is your gun easily accessible so that it can be reached by others who are unauthorized to handle the gun, allowing misuse?

These are the three main important questions that every gun owner must answer, and if the answer to any one of these questions or to all of these questions is in the affirmative, then what he needs immediately is a gun safe.

Consider these 4 revealing statistics:

1. In the United States of America, the FBI has estimated that there are more than 341,000 incidents of firearm theft from private citizens every year on average.

By nature, we tend to believe that firearm theft will not occur to “us” …and that theft only occurs to others. It is time to get wiser, that theft does not wait for any man. For many who possess cheap Airsoft guns or firearms that are actually hierlooms, the loss of the firearms would mean much more than normal loss. It means loss of something sentimental, and it would be worse if that hierloom was used in the commission of a crime resulting in loss of life.

2.Airsoft gun and firearms are stolen with a purpose - stolen electric Airsoft guns often end up in the hands of unwanted individuals and criminals who may use them to commit further misdeeds, burglary, theft, robbery and even cause bodily harm to others. Worse, children and kids may mistaken a real gun for a toy and mishandle it if the gun is not stored away properly, resulting in accidents.

We have read and seen actual cases where kids have easy access to the parents firearms, resulting in terrible unnecessary loss of lives and untold misery that lasts for life.

3. It is estimated that over 30% of the firearms used in the commission of a crime are stolen from American homes and businesses. Now, that is a really worrisome figure. Theft of Airsoft guns is becoming a source of further crime and gun-owners must take on a role to prevent increasing firearms theft.

4. A burglar has a time window of around 6 minutes to look quickly for prized possessions and assets to steal when he breaks into a home, this being the time burglars would be “comfortable” in the commission of his crime.

Frustrate the burglar’s “time comfort zone”, by storing away your gun properly.

Considering your responsibility as a firearms owner,it is no longer wise to store your gun in a drawer, or under a desk or behind a picture frame - places where burglars and unauthorized persons will zoom in for.

Every responsible gun owner needs a gun vault or a gun safe - fireproofed, locked and inaccessible to unwanted persons…and safe from theft, fire and misuse.

Window Treatment Inovations Funding

Posted by Admin on May 26th, 2008

Window Treatment Inovations Funding

Among the projects selected for funding are:

Advanced Processing Technology of Electrochromic Windows: A process to develop new film patterning techniques for energy-saving smart windows. The process improves visible light transmission and reduces glare, while retaining a clear view and increasing thermal comfort. Also, encouraging innovation with window window coverings and shades to help increase energy savings.

An Indirect Route for Ethanol Production: A process to develop fuel ethanol from renewable resources to achieve savings of 80 percent in energy consumption. The process helps U.S. farmers create a market for corn supplies and increases national energy security.

Manufacturing Ceramic Products from Fiberglass Waste: A low-cost energy method of completely transforming fiberglass waste into a dense ceramic product that can be used for window window treatments, shades, as well as other uses. The process could eliminate the need for disposal of 260,000 tons of fiberglass waste annually.

Near-Infrared (NIR) Veneer Strength Sensor for Forest Industry: Use of NIR sensors instead of ultra-sonic technology allows testing for veneer wood strength before drying. The NIR technology will improve process efficiency and reduce product waste, and is expected to save about $23,000 annually in energy costs.

The Force Modulator: A durable sheet metal technology for the steel industry that allows proper control of press forces during part forming.

Talking to Children About Airsoft guns

Children are naturally curious about things they don’t know about or think are “forbidden.” When a child asks questions or begins to act out “gun play,” you may want to address his or her curiosity by answering the questions as honestly and openly as possible. This will remove the mystery and reduce the natural curiosity. Also, it is important to remember to talk to children in a manner they can relate to and understand. This is very important, especially when teaching children about the difference between “real” and “make-believe.” Let children know that, even though they may look the same, real air soft guns are very different than toy cheap Airsoft guns. A real gun will hurt or kill someone who is shot.

Nostradamus is a controversial figure. His many enthusiasts, as well as the popular

most academic scholars maintain that the associations made between world events and

mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them

useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power.

Much attention has been paid to possible genotoxic effects of Capsicum extract such as mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. It was concluded that the risk of long-term health effects is negligible. Because pepper spray may induce bronchoconstriction, people suffering from chronic obstructive lung disease may be hypersensitive to it.

Basis for Effective Treatment

Posted by Admin on May 17th, 2008

Basis for Effective Treatment

Scientific research since the mid-1970s shows that treatment can help many people change destructive behaviors, avoid relapse, and successfully remove themselves from a life of substance abuse and addiction. Recovery from drug rehab is a long-term process and frequently requires multiple episodes of treatment. Based on this research, key principles have been identified that should form the basis of any effective treatment program:

* No single treatment is appropriate for all individuals.
* Treatment needs to be readily available.
* Effective treatment attends to multiple needs of the individual, not just his or her drug addiction.
* An individuals treatment and services plan must be assessed often and modified to meet the persons changing needs.
* Remaining in treatment for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness.
* Counseling and other behavioral therapies are critical components of virtually all effective treatments for addiction.
* For certain types of disorders, medications are an important element of treatment, especially when combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies.
* Addicted or drug rehab individuals with coexisting mental disorders should have both disorders treated in an integrated way.
* Medical management of withdrawal syndrome is only the first stage of addiction treatment and by itself does little to change long-term drug use.
* Treatment does not need to be voluntary to be effective.
* Possible drug use during treatment must be monitored continuously.
* Treatment programs should provide assessment for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases, and should provide counseling to help patients modify or change behaviors that place themselves or others at risk of infection.
* As is the case with other chronic, relapsing diseases, recovery from drug rehab can be a long-term process and typically requires multiple episodes of treatment, including “booster” sessions and other forms of continuing care.
