The 241st National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society or ACS has announced the development of a bio-chemical explosive detector and neutralizer. Initial tests were begun by scientists and had extremely successful experiments. The material has a spray effect that can identify several terrorist explosives. It is significantly used in government restricted areas such as aircrafts that carries hazardous chemicals.
According to the head chairman of the study, Allen Apblett, Ph.D., the device can save hundreds of lives since it can function in places that explosives are popularly utilized by terrorists. It can prevent possible explosions in public places.
Such places could be subways, airports and battlefields. It is made from an ink-formula that changes color when near explosives. This informative and valuable research could vitally help the safety and security of every individual.

Israel and Palestine…Peaceful Resistance

The disagreement between Israel and Palestine is well-known and I don’t intend to rehash it here. The news is filled reports of the armed conflict, failed peace negotiations, and residents displaced from their homes. It is easy to get the impression that no one in the region is interested in a peaceful resolution. It’s also easy to get the idea that everyone carries a gun, just waiting to shoot someone of a different ethnicity.
While, cognitively, we know this must not be the case, it is rarely seen on the news. However, on the Palestinian side of the wall, peaceful graffiti has sprung up encouraging the dismantling of the wall. I find it encouraging to see signs of peaceful resistance in an area that is historically violent. I KNEW it existed!

Video Review: Anti-Snap Lock
Posted by Laurize Mimay

Lock Snapping is a method of breaking a lock in order to gain access to what’s behind the door. It’s primarily used by criminals and has nothing to do with genuine lock picking. YouTube is littered with videos of people snapping locks; it’s that easy. My house has a plain old lock on it; not an anti-snap lock.
Even if I DID have an anti-snap lock, it probably wouldn’t do any good, because many anti-snap locks just aren’t that good. This video showcases a lock manufacturer, ABS, that makes locks that are actually well-designed, and stop lock snapping criminals in their tracks.
The video itself is a cheesy. It features a puppet; a very well-made puppet though. The video also has a man doing a voice for the puppet. However, the information presented is valuable and the videos presented of the lock, in action, are interesting and well produced.
