Rat Zapper

http://www.ratzapper.org/

The Rat Zapper is the perfect way to deal with the problem of rats and mice. The Rat Zapper uses sophisticated electronics to sense when the rodent is in the trap and delivers a deadly electric shock which is fast and mess free.

You simply bait the trap with some dry pet food and when the rat or mouse enters the device it is instantly detected and killed with a high voltage electric shock. The device is completely safe and works in much the same way as police taser does. However, the rodent is killed instead of stunned.

Usually parents are supposed to be given notice ahead of time for something like this. That way parents can decide if their child/children can stay out of class or attend.

I agree the video is of a different perspective . I'm not in agreement with it but everyone has their own thoughts :)

Um ok then , leaving you guys to your privacy .. ...

No rush. Have a good evening .

Mouse and rat phobia are the same


Fear of mice and rats is one of the most common specific phobias. It is sometimes referred to as musophobia (from Greek μῦς "mouse") or murophobia (a coinage from the taxonomic adjective "murine" for the Muridae family that encompasses mice and rats), or as suriphobia, from French souris,

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A single mother and student in Nashville had to bring her son to school with her, and the understanding she received was more than she could’ve asked for.

Amanda Osbon studies at DeVry University, located in south Nashville, and didn’t have a choice but to take her son to class on Monday.


“I was embarrassed. I had to swallow my pride and bring my kid to class,” Osbon told News 2 on Wednesday.

But she noted that school is like a job. “You can’t miss work, so you can’t miss school.”

Osbon said her son, who is almost 2 years old, got up during class and wanted to be held by the professor.

Professor Joel Bunkowske, who Osbon says “was amazing, patient and kind,” didn’t skip a beat.

He picked up little Xzavier and continued to teach his class.

“That made me literally start crying. I broke down. My classmates started hugging me,” Osbon told News 2 on Wednesday. “He went up to my professor and put his little arms up like that and without missing a beat my professor picked him up and kept teaching, and it was amazing to see that.”

Bunkowske, a local lawyer who teaches at DeVry’s Keller Graduate School of Management, said picking up Xzavier was natural.

“He came and he just help up his hands and looked at me with those eyes,” he told News 2.

Bunkowske said Osbon is “the best,” a 4.0 student. He says that if someone wants an education, nothing should stand in their way.

“If you’re going to miss class because you don’t have a babysitter, I’d much rather let’s find a way to accommodate that for adult working people.”

Osbon told News 2 she shared her story with us because she just wanted something good to come of the situation.

“My professor deserves all the praise in the world. He’s an amazing person; he’s just wonderful,” she explained.

She also said her unwavering hard work is because she wants to give little Xzavier what she never had growing up.

Osbon and Bunkowske’s story has now gone viral, reaching millions of people across the country since it was posted to WKRN’s Facebook page Tuesday night.

Presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton shared it on her own Facebook page after the story began to trend on the social media website.

Here is a bit from an article about fog catching for water.


http://education.nationalgeographic.com/encyclopedia/fog/

Fog Catchers

Many ancient cultures collected water from fog by placing large pots under trees and shrubs. As the water from fog collected on these objects, the pots collected the water. This method of water collection was effective, but not as effective as collecting rainwater or other liquid water.

Today, engineers are working on more sophisticated ways to collect water from fog. The most effective way has been the development of “fog catchers.” Fog catchers are very large screens constructed in arid areas. As fog glides in, water droplets form around the thin screens and drip to the collection pools below. In one day, a single screen can collect more than a hundred gallons of water.

The village of Bellavista, Peru, relies on fog catchers. Bellavista is an area that has little access to liquid water—no rivers, lakes, or glaciers are nearby. Wells dry up quickly. Water for irrigation and human consumption is threatened. Every year, however, huge fogs blow in from the Pacific Ocean. In 2006, the community invested in a series of fog catchers outside of town. Now, the residents of Bellavista have enough water to irrigate trees and gardens, as well as provide for their own drinking and hygiene needs.

Engineers warn that fog catchers will only work in small areas. Still, engineers and politicians are working on ways to make more powerful fog catchers that will perhaps reduce the need for people to rely so much on groundwater.

I have found this article about sex robots treating pedophilia . My self I don't think the idea will work.

Could a child sex robot treat paedophilia?

What in the world?
Pieces of global opinion

Robots are becoming increasingly lifelike

A review of the best commentary on and around the world...

Today's must-read

During a robotics conference last week, ethicists discussed the moral implications of using childlike-robots to help treat paedophiles.

The theory is that these machines would help provide a non-harmful outlet for an individual's sexual inclinations as part of a treatment programme. It's like providing methadone to heroin addicts, the reasoning goes.

Ronald Arkin, the mobile robot lab director at the Georgia Institute of Technology, was one of the participants at the conference who is in favour of pursing the idea. He told Forbes magazine's Kashmir Hill:

"There are no presumptions that this will assuredly yield positive results - I only believe it is worth investigating in a controlled way to possibly provide better protection to society from recidivism in sex offenders. If we can save some children, I think it's a worthwhile project."

Vice's Arielle Pardes says the logic of such arguments is straightforward:

"We realise that paedophilia isn't going anywhere, so we ought to find a way to deal with the lust for children in a way that keeps actual kids out of the equation. Hence, robots. It's child molestation, without the children."

But just because the idea may be good in theory, she writes, doesn't mean it could ever be implemented. First of all, current technology just isn't sophisticated enough to create a robot that "would be a passable substitute for real children".

Next is the concern that a child sex robot could encourage paedophiles to act on their impulses instead of serving as a safe outlet for them.

"If science fiction has taught us anything, it's that robots can be evil, but they don't have to be," she concludes. "People with deviant sexual desires are the same way. But we're not going to get anywhere with rehabilitating paedophiles if we treat them like monsters by encouraging them to go at it with weird, childlike sex bots."

Other commentators are less philosophical about the idea.

"As a mom and a woman I find nothing more vile than child predators and rapists, and even the idea of using metal and silicone computer humans to reform paedophiles upsets me," writes Eve Vawter for the Mommyish blog. "I'm not sure anything can be used to reform these people, and I have been known to say we should send them all to rat island where they can victimize each other and eat rats."

Fear of mice


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search


Fear of mice and rats is one of the most common specific phobias. It is sometimes referred to as musophobia (from Greek μῦς "mouse") or murophobia (a coinage from the taxonomic adjective "murine" for the Muridae family that encompasses mice and rats), or as suriphobia, from French souris, "mouse". Dr. Genna Crosser is believed to be the first to have witnessed a patient with this disorder. She later also suffered from the phobia she studied.[1]

Snakes are pretty scary too . I fear mice more though.

Hi ais69

1 and 3.

Well you know how that goes never a dull moment Lol

Which ones?

The whole thing is really silly . But I am sure that some of the lawyers are making money out of it and unfortunately it is making news.

What ever you guys are doing with your free time that's up to you. But really free range di... lol

I agree this is a waist of money . I think this is the second suit being filed .
