Ila WEDGE: Scare Off Hostel Predators With a Deafening Door Alarm

This pretty little doorstop emits the painfully tall siren if someone attempts to open your door.

I fool around with gadgets as shortly as we get them out of the box, throwing the instructions aside as good as opting for the we can figure this out, dagummit approach. As we can imagine, this nearly always goes well. In the box of Ilas WEDGE security alarm, we damn near busted an ear drum.

I stood in my kitchen, ears still ringing, my previously napping dog during my side with her fur station on end. Setting the WEDGE down, we pulled the instructions out of the rejected packaging.

CAUTION: At really close range, the warning may cause ear damage.

Good to know.

The WEDGE has an on-off switch on the bottom. Once its on, the slightest bit of vigour will set the 130 decibel siren off for 10 minutes, unless we flip the switch off again. Its so sensitive which we accidentally set it off again only shifting it underneath the door.

Thats the good thing, of march we would feel pretty protected in any room with this baby station guard. The rubbery bottom of the WEDGE creates it tough to open the door, as good as with which shrieking siren starting off, Id gamble most intruders wouldnt bother trying. In the off position, the WEDGE creates the good doorway stop.

The battery is replaceable as good as is said to last three years (unless we fool around with it the lot). And during 67 grams, this thing is super-light as good as wont supplement any additional weight to your backpack. Order one for 14.50 during Travellers Essentials or $19.95 during The Handpicked Gift Store.

How meditation relates to happiness

Meditation leads to mindfulness Studies point out how valuable meditating can be to overall well-being. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN meditating for thousands of years, but it seems only recently that its gaining credibility by the scientific community. The shame is that many wont even give things a second thought unless some researcher or scientist proves its benefits, choosing to ignore the wisdom of experience. An article at Forbes discusses research done that correlates meditation and happiness . First, a Harvard University study has shown that wandering minds are an attribute of unhappy people. 2250 volunteers (ages 18-88, from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds and occupations) were used in the study they were contacted at random intervals by the researchers and asked what they were currently doing and what they were actually thinking about. almost half of the time (46.9%) people were thinking about something else. They were then asked whether what they were thinking about ...

Rocking beats for peace on an Israeli tank

At the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, heres a little reminder for peace. AT SUNDOWN today Rosh Hashanah begins. In Jewish liturgy its described as the day of judgment and the day of remembrance. During services there is a phrase repeated several times: On Rosh Hashanah it is written and on Yom Kippur it is sealed. I remember as a kid listening along and having the image of God basically searching through each persons deeds for the year as if written in a ledger. It seemed fucking terrifying.   Probably my clearest Rosh Hashanah memory though was of one year where our congregation seemingly forgetting we were in the sanctuary and not at an Atlanta Hawks game or something started vigorously applauding a particularly long blast on the Shofar. The look on the rabbis face, the way he shook his head to indicate total disgust at our congregational faux pas: it was powerful. Anyway, Im not trying to make fun of Rosh Hashanah here. Its just that Ive always felt a lot ...
