IM-5 launcher, a non-lethal personal protection device


I know that many women have to walk to and from work, or to and from the bus stops to get to work. Sometimes they work long hours and have to walk home after dark and even in the middle of the night. Now all this poses great risk. But what are they doing about it? Life has to go on and so here is a new non-lethal personal protection device called the IM-5 launcher. It is a five-shot launcher that fires five frangible, plastic projectiles filled with an intensely hot PAVA powder. This is enough to disable an attacker from as far away as forty feet. This specific device takes the crown from the other self protection devices that we have mentioned earlier. The maker, Avurt, has also developed a unique self-defense and awareness training program incorporating the IM-5 launcher called Living in 360. So you can enroll for it and become a toughie. Take a look at the short video on the company’s site.

Bang and Olufsen Beolab 3 provide ultimate acoustic pleasure


Hanging LCD's with ambient back-lightings sure has its perks, the whole effect of the lights dramatically change the mood of the room. So we were smiling when we heard of another new entrant in this line. Though Philips has other models with ambient lighting, they are known to upgrade their line at snails pace. Their new Aurea with Ambilight hits a high spot as it actually glows through the case border, creating a vibrant frame effect. The Aurea uses 26 tiny drivers in contrast to larger speakers, to help minimize the visible speaker components. It features 1080p resolution with 8000:1 dynamic contrast and increased refresh rates and has a 42" screen. The Aurea will be on display at IFA later this month.
