This is Why, How to Choose a Safe Cat
Home Improvement July 6th, 2010

Because there is no official label of the paint that is environmentally friendly and safe, we as consumers must be smart in choosing the paint. What is an eco-friendly paint? Many people interpret the term narrowly. Actually the term “environmentally friendly” in the paint not only refer to the paint products themselves.
“The issue refers to the eco-friendly process from when the material is in the manufacturing process until the end,” said Wijoyo Hendromartono, architect. Paint can be said when making environmentally friendly paint, paint products themselves, until the processing of waste actually environmentally friendly.
According Wijoyo, if hazardous materials are used I have found no place, still acceptable, provided that the condition is well managed waste. To paint their own products, so far in Indonesia, yet there are really free VOC (zero VOC).
So a consumer can do is to choose a paint with low VOC content. To determine the VOC content can one see the kind of diluent used a paint (although this is not an absolute one).
Based on pengencernya materials, paint divided into two types, namely solvent-based to pengencerannya use thinners and water-based (using water). Formerly, most of the paint on the market are solvent-based paints. This applies to paint the walls and paint the wood and iron. Over time, paint the walls began to lead to a water-based is considered more secure.
Wood and metal paint follow later, although not as much paint the walls. Supposedly, water-based paints have low VOC content, but in reality is not always the case. Why?
The base material Containing Solvent
Solvent (in category of VOC) in paints used during manufacture and during use of paint. At the time of manufacture of paint, solvent mixture serves to make the right viscosity for processing.
While at the time of use, by mixing solvent into the paint will make it easy dikuas paint or sprayed on a surface to be painted.
Paint is called water-based paint that uses water as a pengencernya. But this does not refer to the making of the paint if using a solvent or not. So could water-based paints still contain solvents, because the paint using materials containing solvents during manufacture at the factory.
Unfortunately, there is no sure way to know whether a
water-based paints contain solvents or not when we want to buy
a cat. We can only know after the paint was applied to the wall.
When the paint smell out the sting, meaning it contains VOC paint with a high enough level. If there was no smell but not too stinging, which means that the paint contains a solvent, but not high terialu. Cat is right-Bena containing solvent rtidak really should not remove the smell.
Remove Logo Paint producers
Even in Indonesia there has been no official ban on the use of hazardous materials, the producers had to reduce these substances in the paint content. Generally, materials that have been avoided is lead and mercury. ICI, Pacific Paint, Propan, Jotun, Mowilex, is a leading paint brands in Indonesia, which put the logo indicating that lead-free products clan mercury.
For the latest products which claimed to be environmentally friendly, Jotun took New Majestic Family (clan consists Optima Majestic, Majestic Matt, Silk and Pearl Majestic) which does not contain lead mercury clan, and easy to clean. ICI Dulux Easy Clean out that are free
lead and mercury, and easy to clean. While Propan Decorsafe issued at the time of manufacture is using materials low VOC. Outside of these brands, there are dozens of other brands which also claims its products free of lead and mercury.
Because the label is issued by the producers themselves, consumers should carefully in choosing the paint. If there is a very simple paint was applied, the result is flat, bright colors, but it’s cheap, maybe you need to suspect. Because according Shinta, the implications of the absence of additional mercury clan is lead to higher costs.
Paint brands temama usually more responsible in providing claims. In addition, most of the leading manufacturers from America or Europe, have followed the standards of their home countries, which had imposed an official certification
Chemical Threat Watch at Home
Home Improvement June 25th, 2010

transition and dry season length is the disease coming season. But the disease can also come from the use of chemicals in the house. What?
Most of us usually make “outsiders” as a suspect when one of the causes of our family members sick. The weather changing from hot to rain, poor air quality, pollution caused by vehicles and factory fumes, or the temperature hotter environment, are the things common to the charge material.
Unconsciously, we have sued the main problem is external parties. In fact, if counted counted, 60-90% of our time during the 24 hours actually spent in the room, both in the home, school, and at work. The children are also so. When the hour of their learning in school is 3-8 hours a day, then at least 16 hours of their time inside the house.
As a result of massive information, ranging from poor air quality, global warming, declining water quality, soil and drinking water, until the new virus attacks the globalized, the more convinced that human health problems lies “outside”, not “in”. Then, the solution was always looking toward the outside, ignoring the possibility the defendant might have actually been in the house.
Homes, both new (less than 5 years of development) and the decades-old, is in fact the largest source of health problems. Like skin, the home is the third skin of our bodies after our own body’s skin and clothes we wear. If the house is not healthy, our lives automatically bandwagon too unhealthy.
Chemicals
Since the process of construction, the house has the potential to become a store of toxins harmful to human body and become fertile ground for potential disease berbiaknya inhabitants. Process of generating dust and micron-sized materials building materials that contain most of the chemicals are only two causes of the most easily detected. Another cause is poor ventilation and inadequate lighting.
Building materials that are chemical itself is inevitable. Traced from the history, the early construction of houses generally are using materials and natural materials are easy to find and close to the location of residential candidate. Once the material demands fast track following the population explosion, substitute materials of natural materials which means it is made from chemical-is inevitable.
Since the completion of World War II in 1945, production of chemical materials for various household purposes increased rapidly, as a result of restoration needs and urban settlements in the world’s most damaged areas after the war. With such a large demand and in short, no longer possible nature can deliver.
According to Prescriptions for a Healthy House by Paula Baker-Laporte, Erica Elliot and John Banta, chemical production in the new year 1945 ranges from 10 million tons increasing to more than 110 million tons in 2005. Currently, there are now-the lack of more than 4 million chemical products are made by humans. As many as 70-80 thousand of them very familiar to use by people everyday, which most likely unwittingly interfere with the body’s health, particularly respiratory problems, digestion, and allergies.
Source Problems At Home
If one of your family members have serious problems with the respiratory, digestive, or allergies, and has been in a long time but you never find the exact answer, try to detect the problem right now “into”, rather than glancing “out” there.
Here are some resources issues arising in the use of chemicals in the home.
• Insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides. Use of killer insects and animals is well known bullies and packaged in an attractive form, will be advertised as “safe”. In fact, the name insecticide, animal intruders, and the like, is certain to be fatal and is not safe for human health.
Mixture of products of non-natural wood, including a particle-board, plywood, upholstery and furniture kitchen set, till the doors and windows kusenkusen non-timber, commonly contain formaldehyde, a chemical that is carcinogenic (causes cancer) to the human body .
• Volatile organic compounds (VOC) or organic compounds that easily evaporate. These compounds are used in a lot of paint, metal paint, wood paint, solvents, cleaning solvents and home goods, sealant, and glue / adhesives. Chemical compounds contained in these materials include toluene, benzene, formaldehyde, and acetone. These compounds when inhaled in a certain amount can cause acute respiratory problems, cancer, and damage the nervous system.
• Asphalt and products containing asphalt. This material is often found on the roof covering or coating of bitumen leakage. The garage is located inside the house and the house blend with the room can also be a problem because chemicals from asphalt senyawasenyawa attached to the wheels of motor vehicles transported into the house, then trapped inside the house.
• Cleaning stains / dirt. Process of leaving the house sometimes dirt or stains that can only be cleaned using a chemical solution. Activity household goods do not also trigger the use of these chemical cleaners, just to catch a view of the interior of the house looking eyes look clean, but the effect is caused health problems.
To reduce the risk of residents terpaparnya by chemical compounds. it, the only way is to reduce to a minimum. Another approach that can be taken is to design a building with more attention to air circulation, sun illumination.
Non-Chemical Problems At Work Building
In addition to the use of chemical substances that can lead to unwitting various health problems, the source of problems in the home can result from the process of building and equipment used equipment. Here in between.
Pemlesteran and pengacian wall. Time remaining cement in the plaster and acian not perfectly cleaned potential heap of dust and fine particles that continue to nest in the house.
Pieces for plumbing and electrical installation. dust caused by a piece of PVC pipes or cables remain potentially settled in the house when the cleaning is not perfect or cut pieces of work done in the house.
The use of heavy equipment such as cutting, welding machines, heating, and so also has the potential to produce low-quality air in the room.

Home Improvement June 16th, 2010

Using ultrasound technology, and electromagnetic waves, this product effectively to get rid of mice in your house.
For example, because I wanted to visit relatives during Lebaran, the house had been left long enough. Meanwhile, the mouse around the house often became the main issue when it returns to the house. Although many options offered rat repellent on the market, an effective and safe for health is still hard to find.
Warehouse & Distributor Commeta offers another option how to drive an effective rat and safe for health. This product is named Tissor Electronic Pest Repeller, and work effectively in space in an area of 100 square meters, or 200 square feet for outside space.
Ultrasonic sound technology
One of the systems offered to drive the mouse is ultrasonic sound technology. Ultrasonic sound technology is the technology by using sound high frequency ultrasonic sound, which is 35,000 Hz.
Sound with frequency can only be heard by the order Rodentia animals, including mice. The voice could not be heard by humans. Humans can only hear the sound with a frequency of 20000-25000 Hz.
Ultrasound can cause discomfort in rats. It works like the human ear close to the siren that sounded very loud. Rats will feel afraid, can not adjust, and certainly do not feel comfortable with ultrasonic sound generated. This tool also uses a generator that can output ultrasonic sound louder and changes that make mice more disturbed.
Electromagnetic Waves
The second system is to use electromagnetic waves. Is the energy of electromagnetic waves generated by using electrical wires behind the walls of your home. With the carrying capacity, this product becomes a tool to drive the giant rats.
Works the same way as when you call. When speaking, your voice will be delivered via telephone wires at a certain frequency. Electromagnetic waves using electrical wires to send signals via cable changes, which can disrupt the nervous system of mice.
According to Hendra Binagraha, technical experts Tissor products Electronic Pest Repeller, this technology is safe to use. Commeta even guarantee that this technology will not affect humans, pets, or electronic equipment, and does not increase the electromagnetic power from electric wires in your home.
This tool easily change the frequency of electromagnetic waves with the target animals such as mice, are highly sensitive to changes in the electromagnetic frequency. Signal will live and die every few seconds so that these animals can not build endurance.
Electromagnetic vibrations produced can be accepted by rats. Mice will feel disturbed and uneasy. Rats will feel the difference in the environment and make them feel like being in enemy territory. As a result, they will move and dodge away from the source wave.
Safe for health
Tissor Electronic Repeller uses no chemicals, no smoke and no smell. Thus, this product is safe for human health, pets, and electronic equipment.
In addition to the health safety, this product is also economical because only consume 3 watts of power and can be used in a long time, more than 4 years.
How it works
First Sunday: Rat will feel uneasy and uncomfortable because of changes in sound and magnetic waves
Second Sunday: The sound produced ultrasonic sounds louder and changing. In this week, the rats would be seen hanging around the house looking for a place to shelter and make a hole to get out.
Third Sunday: In addition to the ultrasonic sound louder and volatility, the electronic wave also produces faster waves and fickle. In this week, mice will further accelerate the search for cracks and holes to move away and leave the house.
Fourth week onwards: Rat had not seen wandering around the house. The house was free from rats.

Bali Starling

Was first discovered in 1910, the scientific name refers to the Bali Starling was a British animal expert, Walter Rothschild, who was the first to describe this species into the world of knowledge in 1912. Bali starlings existence as the only recorded berhabitat fauna native only in the Bali has been protected by the Act.
In the list of Red List are made by States among nations for the Conservation of Nature, the presence of beautiful birds of this beautiful nan was in the category Critically Endangered (Critical / Almost Extinct), only one level below Extinct in the Wild (no longer there in the universe).
According to many sources, endangered Bali Starling habitat because it is very limited. In addition, because this includes Bali Starling bird collector favorite, many arrests occur wild. No wonder, because if caught, the sale price of these birds could reach Rp 40 million per fish. However, Mario had his own different understanding of why the rare Bali Starling only. “Bali Starling extinct because he cannibals. He will eat her own eggs when she was not liked. However, because we can secure the eggs, so it’s OK. ”
The funny thing is, Mario just got Bali Starling from Germany and Japan, from people who had made off with Bali starlings and breeding bird. Since little, he always wanted and liked the tame bird.
