Death Rate Higher for Anorexics
The course and outcome of eating disorder treatment vary across individuals: some fully recover after a single episode; some have a fluctuating pattern of weight gain and relapse; and others experience a chronically deteriorating course of illness over many years. The mortality rate among people that do not get eating disorder treatment has been estimated at 0.56 percent per year, or approximately 5.6 percent per decade, which is about 12 times higher than the annual death rate due to all causes of death among females ages 15-24 in the general population.6 The most common causes of death are complications of the disorder, such as cardiac arrest or electrolyte imbalance, and suicide.

Government Seeking Window Blind Inovation
“25 percent of the energy used to heat and cool buildings goes right out the window,” Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham said. “The innovative technologies receiving funding today will improve U.S. industrial competitiveness while reducing energy use, helping to make our nation more secure.” Existing window treatments and shades can be improved to help reduce energy costs.
The Energy Department selected 19 organizations out of 202 proposals to receive funding as part of two DOE programs: Inventions and Innovation (I&I), and the National Industrial Competitiveness through Energy, Environment and Economics (NICE3) initiative.

How can you help yourself be Safer!
Rise-Reduction
People often ask what they can do to keep themselves safe. Risk-reduction strategies such as self-defense or general safety tips can be helpful. Yet, it is important to remember that whether or not risk reduction measures are taken, a victim is NEVER responsible for preventing her or his assault.
Self defense weapons classes are available quarterly to learn more.
Below is a list of suggested methods that may reduce your risk of being sexually assaulted. However, this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, but rather a resource to increase your knowledge and available options. If you should find yourself in a dangerous situation, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. Some people feel comfortable and are able to defend themselves physically others do not or cannot. Submitting to the demands and threats of an attacker IS a viable and reasonable option. The goal is to survive. Submission to an attacker as a result of force, threat and/or intimidation is rape.

Job Match or “T”
It’s always important to match your qualifications to the job and/or employer in the cover letter. This is generally done as part of the body of the letter. In the “T” letter format this is done as bullet points targeting the specific requirements and your corresponding qualifications. Some sources for information to help you match your qualifications include: employment advertisements, company websites, position descriptions, phone conversations with the employer and informational interviews.

Cover Letter Points to Consider
Whenever possible, address the cover letter to a specific person by name and title. This requires a minimum of research that will ultimately pay off in more interviews. The only time this may not be possible is when responding to a “blind ad” where there is no way to know the name of the company to research. In this case, send the letter to the title of the appropriate hiring manager, e.g., “Production Manager,” “Maintenance Supervisor,” “Office Manager,” etc. Never use the phrase “To Whom It May Concern.”

Self Defense Weapons Against - Grizzly Bears?
When it comes to self defense weapons against grizzly bears, the answer is not as obvious as it may seem. In fact,experienced hunters are surprised to find that despite the use of firearms against a charging bear, they were attacked and badly hurt. Evidence of human-bear encounters even suggests that shooting a bear can escalate the seriousness of an attack, while encounters where firearms are not used are less likely to result in injury or death of the human or the bear. While firearms can kill a bear, can a bullet kill quickly enough — and can the shooter be accurate enough — to prevent a dangerous, even fatal, attack?
The question is not one of marksmanship or clear thinking in the face of a growling bear, for even a skilled marksman with steady nerves may have a slim chance of deterring a bear attack with a gun. Law enforcement agents for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have experience that supports this reality –
based on their investigations of human-bear encounters since 1992, persons encountering grizzlies and defending themselves with firearms suffer injury about 50% of the time. During the same period, persons defending themselves with best pepper spray escaped injury most of the time, and those that were injured experienced shorter duration attacks and less severe injuries. Canadian bear biologist Dr. Stephen Herrero reached similar conclusions based on his own research — a persons chance of incurring serious injury from a charging grizzly doubles when bullets are fired versus when bear spray is used.

Width x Length (Width Is Always Listed First) If an outside mount is required, the Width of the window should be measured at the top, the middle, and the bottom, with the smallest measurement being the measurement recorded minus 1/4 inch to allow room for the brackets to be installed. The Length of the window should be taken on the right and the left sides, with the smallest measurement being the measurement recorded (do not deduct 1/4 inch from this measurement).
Width x Length (Width Is Always Listed First) For continuous curtain wall windows where outside mount is required, measure the Width from center line of window mullion to center line of window mullion, record this dimension. This should be treated as an inside measurement as stated above.

The Importance of Owning a Gun Safe
Storing your electric Airsoft guns in a gun safe is an easy way to prevent a tragic accident in your home. Safes also keep your Airsoft guns away from thieves, and the cost of buying a safe is cheaper than the lawyer bills if your air soft guns end up in the wrong hands.
Gun safes made of steel are the best, but there are different types of steel available. More steel and higher quality steel equals stronger protection. However, attaching a thick-steeled safe to the floor is more difficult because it is hard to drill holes through the thick steel.
Most safes are fire-resistant, not fireproof. If you have a valuable gun collection, it may be worth the extra money to buy a fireproof safe. Fireproof ratings are usually listed by the amount of heat the safe can withstand and for how long.
The size of the safe you should buy depends on your gun collection. Larger safes generally cost more than smaller safes of equal quality. If you only have pistols, you should buy a smaller safe. You can move or remove the shelf in the safe to best arrange your pistol collection. Smaller safes can be easily hidden underneath a bed, in a closet, or in a dresser. Bigger safes for shotcheap Airsoft guns and rifles, however, are harder to move, which is an added security. Smaller safes should be bolted to the floor to keep them in their place.
Most sporting goods stores that sell Airsoft gun also sell gun safes. You can also shop online. Most companies will ship anywhere in the United States. If you buy your safe from a wholesaler and have to pay for shipping , you may still get a cheaper cost than if you bought the safe at full price. Dont be afraid to comparison shop or talk to gun owners about the safes they recommend.

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 discount blinds 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 blinds, 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.

What is a Mini Blind?
The long horizontal slats are held one above the other by the rungs of ladder cords shaped like a ladder. The lower ends of the legs of the ladder cords are secured to the long rail under the slats. Their upper ends are attached to the drive rod in the housing, the elongated box above the slats. As the drive rod rotates, one leg of each ladder cord moves up while the other moves down, causing the angle of the slats to change. In one design, this rotation is achieved by pushing up or pulling down on a long handle called a tilt wand connected to the drive rod by a lever. Lift cords along the ladder cords are also attached to the rail. They pass through holes in the slats and into the housing above, where they go over pulleys, combine and exit through the cord lock. For safety it’s important that the lock always work. A downward pull on the main lift cord raises the slats by the cords pulling up the rail below the slats. The cord lock holds the main lift cord to keep the slats up until the cord is pulled to release the lock. The safety lock made the cord lock easier to use.

Last night I took a peak at a short term disability insurance site. When people ask for a day off due to an illness, short term disability insurance kicks in. This is actually what sick leave is. Most private companies have vacation time, but that’s not what sick leave is. However there are cases where companies just call their sick leave a part of vacation time. Disability insurance can be used up for an hour or much more, depending on your illness and how much you’re allowed to take. Go to Wealthprotector.net for more info.
