Abstract: A biometric firearms safety system includes a firearm that has a grip and an action. A fingerprint unit is coupled to the firearm. The fingerprint unit is positioned on the grip to read fingerprints from a user. The fingerprint unit stores fingerprints from an authorized user. A locking unit is coupled to the firearm. The locking unit engages the action such that the locking unit inhibits the action from is manipulated. Thus, the locking unit inhibits the firearm from is loaded and fired. The locking unit is electrically coupled to the fingerprint unit. The locking unit disengages from the action when the user's fingerprints match the authorized user's fingerprints. Thus, the locking unit facilitates the user to load and fire the firearm.

Abstract: Managing communications relationships may be accomplished by organizing a plurality of information elements and a plurality of users into a forum, with the forum being a virtual data structure organizing a plurality of single page views. Each single page view is organized into columns, with each column having a home row, a header row, and an action row. The header row indicates a title of the column for each of the columns of a single page view, and the action row indicates one or more commands available for execution for the each column of the single page view. The home row is the same for every column of each of the single page views and includes a selectable area that, upon selection by a user, navigates to a single page view associated with a home page view. Actions may be performed on information elements in columns of selected single page views.
