Rat Traps
Many different types of rat traps are available on the market today from live catch traps to traditional break-back traps.
The live catch traps on a whole tend to be cage traps. The rat is tempted into the cage with a bait (many types of bait will work from chocolate to cereals). The bait is placed onto the platform or hook (depending on the design), as the rat is feeding it will trigger the trap and the cage door will close trapping the rat inside.
Knowing your pests
The common rat - rattus norvegicus has been around since the early 18th century, these rats can be found in both urban and rural areas, they can be found both indoors and outdoors and often associated with sewer systems.
The common rat will reach sexual maturity at 8-12 weeks, the gestation period is 21-24 days, litter size on average is 6-11 with around 4-6 litters per year, and the weaning period is 3-4 weeks.
The average life span for the rat is around 1 year; it is likely that less than 5% of rats will survive more than 12 months.
Before starting trapping you will need to learn a bit about your pest, identify where they are living, feeding and travelling. Things to look for are droppings, smear marks (these are oily / dirty looking marks) these smear marks can be found along the rats run, around doors, skirting boards holes in the building fabric etc.
The rats droppings are around 1/2" long spindle and slightly banana looking in shape with pointed ends, they are a dark brown in colour and supple looking, after 3 days they will harden and lose their colour. Once you have identified the run the cage trap can be placed along this run but you have to take into account rats suffer from neophobia, this means that anything you put down for the rat he may well avoid for a good few days.
The trap needs to be checked every 24 hours so not to cause the trapped animal any further distress. Break-back traps and electronic traps are designed to kill the pest instantly.
The break-back trap is set off by the rat placing its paws on the baited platform thus setting off the trap and a spring loaded bar comes down on the rat breaking its back and killing it instantly, the electronic rat killer is a tunnel design, the rat will enter to feed from the bait placed within the devise and as the rats paws touch a pad inside the unit it is electrocuted and dies instantly.
These types of traps need to be placed as above along rat runs and again the neophobia will come into effect.
Rat traps and cages are fast and effective ways of controlling your rat problem. Rat traps are available from PPC Supplies.
Usmc Ka-Bar Combat Knife - It's Military History And Purpose
The KA-BAR is a Combat Knife that is used by members of the Armed Forces to be used in Close Combat scenarios. These days, the Ka-Bar is used mostly as a Utility Knife. For example, opening wooden crates, clearing out foliage, cutting down branches, etc.. It's also strong enough to easily puncture a hole in a can.
KA-BAR knives are typically very heavy and usually have a 7 Inch Long Blade. It is made of 1095 Carbon Steel. The number 1095 stands for the chemical composition of the metal as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers which assigns SAE Steel Grades. Someone was attacked by a bear before WWII. He survived the attack and wrote a letter to the company bragging that the knife saved his life when a gun failed to do the job. The letter was written in poor English and all that was readable was "k a bar" so the company used this name as their trademark.
In 1942 right after the United States entered WWII, the troops were having issues with their old Mark I Trench Knives. They came to the realization that they needed a better knive to engage in Trench Warfare, so the military picked the KA-BAR from a catalog of hunting gear, and made it standard military issue for the troops. The USMC used several different types of knives during the war, but the KA-BAR was by far the most popular.
In fact the military liked it so much it also became Standard Military Issue after WWII ended. The Marine Corps got to choose the final shape. They made the blade longer so it could be used in combat. They also wanted a fuller, which was a rounded or beveled groove that sat on the flat side of the blade. The KA-BAR company earned millions of dollars during WWII by selling this to the military.
The reason this knife became so popular was because they were very easy to manufacture and very cheap to purchase. This meant that they were also very easy to replace and performed most tasks that were required. This weapon was also being used in World War II as a Diving Knife even though it didn't stand up to Salt Water very well. The military still uses the KA-BAR, and so do hunters, fisherman and outdoor enthusiasts. This USMC weapon has a long history that isn't going to go away anytime soon. Semper Fi.

From where do Christians get the impression that the dating methods we use today are horribly inaccurate?
Dating methods are not accurate. We know that. That's why they give us ranges. For example, the line marking the end of the dinosaurs is 65 million years old. How accurate is this estimate? To within a few thousand years. Do the math. That's a 0.007% inaccuracy rate.
So it's 65million +/- 5000 years. Not 65million +/- 64.9 million years -.-
"With modern, extremely precise, methods, error bars are often only 1% or so".
And by the way. Carbon-14 is NOT used for dating ancient fossils. It's half life is only 5730 years. So it can only be used to date materials younger than 70,000 years old. On the other hand, Radiometric dating using isotopes such as argon/argon can be used to date for up to 48.6 billion years.
So i'm curious. Do you even know what the word 'research' means?
I once overheard a meuseum guard telling a young girl that the tyranosaur skeleton she was looking at was 65 million and 12 years old... thats right, 65,000,012 years..... after the girl walked off, I had to go ask the guard exactly what he meant... its seemed like an awfully precise number..... well, it turned out that 12 years ago, when he started working there, someone told him.....
