Don't call your chiropractor just yet! You may be suf- fering from digital eye strain, related to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Staring at screens for large parts of the day is an increasingly common part of many jobs – but it is not natural for the human body, or the human eye. Your eye muscles strain to maintain clear focus on the screen, all while you squint against the brightness of the screen's backlight. To top this off, you may be leaning forwards to see more clearly as your eyes get tired, putting strain on your neck and your back. By the end of the day, you might just be aching from head to foot! If this experience rings any bells, you need to be on your guard against digital eye strain. On top of all the above, the blue light emitted by screens can itself cause extra strain and discomfort due to the way it interacts with the eye. These wavelengths are between 400nm-500nm, 450nm being the most harmful. Prolonged, unpro- tected eye exposure to these wave- lengths can significantly increase dis- comfort, and emerging thoughts sug- gest it could even contribute to age- related macular degeneration (AMD). A whopping 60 percent of Americans report spending more than six hours a day in front of a screen, according to the Vision Council's recent report, so just think how much of this harmful blue light they may be exposed to! As socie- ty keeps changing and screens of all kinds become more and more indispensa- ble to our daily life, whether your cell- phone, TV, tablet or computer, we all need to take steps to keep our eyes healthy. Adlens ® Interface™ has been specifically designed as a way to take action against digital eye strain. With a lens tint that filters out an incredible 80 percent of the most harmful blue light, it is a fantastic way to shield your eyes while using screens.

SECURAM BRINGS SAFE LOCKS INTO THE 21ST CENTURY WITH Z-WAVE Whether you own a gun safe, a person- al safe, a business or jewelry safe, chances are the lock it came with is an old-fashioned combination lock. You know the kind, where you spin the dial around to the correct combination numbers, similar to opening your lock- er back in school. If you opted for the more updated variety, maybe it has an electronic push button lock, chances are, it was built around 30 year old technology. Consumer electronic devices are making giant leaps and bounds from a technology perspective in every cate- gory but the safe lock market. Ever wondered why? Is it because con- sumers don't want new and improved safe management systems? Is it because safe owners only trust old- fashioned technology when it comes to opening their safe? Is it because in the movies, the art of cracking a safe is a mystery only to be solved by the trained touch of a notorious safe crack- er? None of these is the correct answer. The safe lock industry world- wide is controlled by a handful of stal- wart companies who have very little interest in advancing the technology of safe locks. Why? Because innovation is tough. It takes vision and talent, but more than that, it takes money. And who wants to invest in an industry as small as the safe lock market? Well, a few years ago, a California company was founded with just that notion. What if we could revolutionize the way people interact with something as simple, but as important, as your home safe? What if they could remote- ly manage the access to their most prized possessions, heirloom jewelry, important documents, medical records, passports and weapons? What if they could get alerts when the door has been accidentally left open, or when someone is trying to break in or guess the combination? What if it was smart enough to send them an email or text mes- sage when the contents were at risk? In 2006, SecuRam Systems Inc., a company with extraordinary vision and a solid foundation in electronic engineering and access con- trol, brought their unique skill for innovative design and quality manu- facturing to the safe lock industry. Since its founding, SecuRam has launched more than 150 innovative safe lock systems – product innova- tions such as biometric authentication, remote management, network connec- tivity, and Bluetooth for the business or corporate safe market – all features that the market was searching for. This year, as home automation is r e a c h i n g e x c i t i n g h e i g h t s , SecuRam has launched a series of resi- dential elec- tronic safe locks that can connect to your home a u t o m a t i o n hub. Using Z-Wave technology, SecuRam safe locks now allow home- owners to equip their safes with advanced technology – turning their big, old fortified steel box into a smart safe. This technology now allows you to be as connected to the secure stor- age of your precious belongings, as you are to every other aspect of your life. Visit SecuRam at booth #71428.
