What is the mechanism in a " badge reel" called?

I am curious to the name of the actual mechanism, how it is constructed, and works.

they also are called – Key Reels
or – ID Reels
the same idea is at play in the "Retractable leash".

The thing that allows the chord to be pulled out, locked, released and retracted is called a tensator spring. It looks rather like a clock spring, but can be wound and unwound a much greater distance although the retraction force is a lot less than that of the clock spring. I think its named after the company that invented and manufactures it.

Study: White males hit hardest by Georgia job losses
new study shows white males are bearing the burden of job losses in Georgia, contradicting conventional thought that minorities typically suffer more from unemployment during down economic times.
The study released by the Georgia Department of Labor on Tuesday examined joblessness among black men and women, and white men and women. It found the number of men of any race drawing unemployment insurance increasing 160 percent from December 2007 through May.
Among white males, it increased 211 percent, to 51,562 men. That’s compared to a 78.8 percent increase for black females — the smallest increase in unemployment benefit claims among any of the four groups studied.
The study links the male job losses to cuts in the construction and manufacturing industries

Clayton County, a thriving majority Black suburb of Atlanta, Georgia has got a huge problem. Clayton County School System is the first system in the United States in the last 40 years to lose its accreditation.
For those incapable of reading those last paragraphs clearly, in Pre-Obama America – a country that Black people repudiated on November 4, 2008 by a margin of 96-1 – Black people were able to have snipers put on a roof and point their weapons at recently fired white police officers.
This is not a joke. Black people, led by Sheriff Victor Hill in 2005, celebrated the “liberation” of Clayton County from white rule and into the worthy hands of Black people dominion.
But the celebratory moment in the land of Tara where Margaret Mitchell set her 1936 novel, ”Gone With the Wind,” has been all but eclipsed by the uproar over the new sheriff’s mass firing of 27 supervisors, deputies and correction officers, many of them white. They had been summoned by their new boss, Sheriff Victor Hill, to the Clayton County Jail on Monday under the pretext of being sworn in. Instead, they were relieved of their weapons, badges and official cars by armed colleagues and offered rides home in prisoner vans under the eyes of snipers posted on the roof.”

The FBI’s report of a double-digit rise in violent crime in Clayton County stings a community already reeling from lost school accreditation and a staggering foreclosure rate.
It also foreshadows a possible spiraling out of economic control.

Violent crime in Clayton rose by 21 percent in 2007 to 1,366 reports, up from 1,126 in 2006, according to the federal report.

It’s only one example of the reverse-race issue in America.

I dont know what to say but I live in Georgia and it sometimes seems like what you are describing from my perspective perhaps.

i say the blacks blame us for bringing them over here unjustly, then we should right a wrong and send them back.

Do most women find labour a horrific experience?

Badge Reels 6 Comments »

I know that many women have traumatic births and would describe it as horrific and horrendous etc. but would most women say this, and if so why aren’t most women having to have counselling for trauma after having each baby? I have probably got tokophobia but then I am just living in fear all the time, and have all my life. I have been shut in a room on my own as a toddler and neglected, and then sexually abused by my brother in the room and then bullied and tormented by him and threatened with a knife. Compared to these things is labour as bad a trauma or as horrific as being sexually abused as a child for most women? I have had a fear of labour since I was a child probably because of women screaming in films and thinking that it is a terrible trauma like the trauma of being raped or having your world totally fall apart like mine did when my mum shut me away and left me to the devices of my older brother. My friends tried to help me by reassuring me about labour and none of them had very traumatic births, and I tried to reassure myself by thinking that people who had kidney stones often had the same amount of pain but they didn’t get fears and nightmares and trauma after, but now I think that labour is a major emotional trauma and even if kidney stones is as bad physically labour is much worse emotionally than having kidney stones or any other physical pain and that puts all the fear of emotional trauma back in my mind. It seems most women are terrified of birth and yet they are going along having the nightmarish horror each birth, and not needing extensive therapy. I spoke to a psychiatric nurse and she said that any other emotional trauma you would remember but not birth but that made me feel worse. If birth is as bad as say the experience of being sexually assaulted or being in a terrifying train crash and being trapped in twisted metal for hours, or being kidnapped with the threat of torture how do women just forget it because they are so happy they have the baby, surely they would need counselling too, and their mind would be reeling in trama despite having a baby. I read that many yummy mummy’s wear their horror stories like a badge of honour, do most mother’s feel that labour is a horror, like having been in a horror film, like the previous things I mentioned? Is it as bad for them as being sexually assaulted or the other things? I feel mocked by them because they are so proud they have suffered pain, but I have suffered horrors that I feel sure are far worse for my whole life and yet feel nothing but shame for having been polluted mentally physcally and emotionally.
I said that I think i suffer from tokophobia but it is only the fear of trauma. I read that other women think it’s disgusting, but I don’t feel that, things like blood, faeces and the idea of being pregnant don’t worry me at all.

Well I didn’t read all of that it hurts my eyes but in reference to your original question I can tell you that after a particularly painful or traumatic experience the brain releases a hormone that dulls your memory of it. So during childbirth if you asked a woman, ‘So when do you plan to have the next one?’ they would reply something along the lines of ‘Are you freaking crazy? Never again!’

But later when the hormone has kicked in they won’t remember the pain, although they will probably remember thinking ‘this is way too painful’, that isn’t as potent. So they’ll get pregnant again and not remember until they are giving birth again.

What is this name for this cord reel that came with my ID badge?

Badge Reels 1 Comment »

So at work when I got my ID Badge it came attached to this reel that automatically retracts a nylon cord. By design it keeps my badge attached to my pant waist but allows me to pull the ID up to a security sensor so I can access certain areas and then retract the cord returning the card to my waist. What are these little devices called?

Badge Reels.

A web search pulls up lots of companies that will make custom designs for you or sell standards. As far as brick and mortar stores, Office Depot has them.
