    Article Title: Can You Rely on Bystanders to Help If You Are Attacked

    We all like to think that we would lend a helping hand if we witnessed an attack or accident. However, psychology seems to contradict the assumption that we'll help each other out in times of need. The psychological term for the social phenomenon regarding whether or not someone will help you out in a time of need is referred to as the "Bystander Effect" or "Genovese Syndrome."
     
    Genovese Syndrome is named after Kitty Genovese, who was stabbed to death in 1964. According to an analysis of her murder, there were over 38 witnesses to the murder, which took nearly half an hour. Although some believe that this number is exaggerated, the fact remains that a large group of bystanders saw the murder in progress, and did nothing. Though appalling, it seems that this case is closer to the norm than we'd all like to believe.
     
    A more recent study tested whether or not citizens in 36 different cities would come to the aid of a stranger. New York City ranked the least-likely city in which a stranger might come to your aid, while among the most "friendly" or "helpful cities" were small and mid-sized towns in the Southeast.
     
    Why wouldn't someone come to your aid if you were being attacked? It may seem like human nature to want to help other people, but this assumption may not always be true. Some bystanders may not feel like they would physically be able to fight off the attacker, or are not qualified to help because of a lack of self defense or first aid training. Others may not act because they fear injuring themselves in the process. Still others believe that it's "not their problem," a prevalent feeling in our culture these days. One study found that the larger the group of bystanders, the less likely it is that one will jump in to help. Each will look towards the others to act, rather than acting themselves.
     
    This fact should have a substantial impact on your self defense plan. You must face the reality that bystanders may not come to your rescue if you are being attacked, despite news stories highlighting cases of brave citizens who spring to action in times such as these. You cannot rely on others to help you; you can only rely on your own actions. The harsh reality is that unless a police officer happens to be nearby in your time of need, it is more than likely up to you to fend off your attacker.
     
    What can you do to stop an attack if no one will help you? Always carry pepper spray, a stun gun, or a similar self defense device in your purse or pocket. These products enable you to fight back without the help of any bystanders. Why leave you fate in the hands of strangers who may or may not come to your aid, when you can take steps now to defend yourself if you must? This simple step gives you the power to stop an attack in progress.

    Article Title: Things You Need to Know About Hurricane Safety

    In the United States, hurricanes batter the East Coast and Gulf Coast on an annual basis, from June through November, with several hurricanes typically touching ground during each season. Thanks to modern technology, we often have advanced warning prior to these violent and destructive acts of nature. However, there is of course no way to halt their destructive path, as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and countless other storms of the past century, have proven. Lessons can be learned from these previous hurricanes – and this information should certainly be put to use by those who live in a hurricane-prone region.
     
    Advanced Preparation - Those that live in hurricane areas should always be prepared for the possibility of a hurricane. At least a month before the start of hurricane season, acquire any necessary supplies that you may need. Don't wait until a hurricane watch is announced, or you'll be joining thousands of people cleaning out store shelves of anything that could be of use during the storm. After a watch is announced, it will likely be difficult to find some of the supplies that you may need. Keep an emergency supply of food and water on hand, enough to last all household members at least three days. You'll also need a first aid kit, flashlights with extra batteries, and extra clothing. Consider purchasing an all-in-one emergency kit, which should be stored in an easily accessible location.
     
    In addition, you should ensure that your home meets all hurricane safety requirements and that you know your evacuation routes. Similar to trying to find supplies at the last minute, it may be difficult to figure out where to go in the event of a hurricane evacuation.
     
    Once the Hurricane is Coming - If your area is under a hurricane watch – or you know a storm is coming – board up your windows or close storm shutters. Be ready to evacuate if necessary and monitor Public Service bulletins and announcements on a battery-powered radio. In the event that you live in a low-lying area, you may wish to move to higher ground to escape possible flooding. Follow your safety plan and make sure all family members are secure inside your home. Shut off natural gas and water to prevent damage that might occur during the storm.
     
    Weathering the Storm - As the storm approaches, stay put. It's much better to weather the storm in a potentially unsafe building than outdoors with no cover. Remember that as the "eye" of the storm passes over you, it may seem as though the storm is over. It is important to stay safely inside your home or shelter until the eye has passed and authorities have sounded an "all clear."
     
    After the Hurricane - Once the authorities sound an all clear, check to make sure that the storm has passed. Assess damage and avoid any potentially hazardous situations such as downed power lines. Check on the safety of your neighbors, if it is safe for you to do so. Then stay safe inside your home, monitor service bulletins, and enact your family's emergency plan.

    Article Title: Who to Avoid When Travelling

    We've all heard the stories. A great vacation takes a sharp turn for the worse with a confrontation that ends in robbery or violence. Although you should be aware of any particular location-related dangers while traveling, you should also be aware of your surroundings. Criminals are predators, and, as such, are often looking for the easiest target. If you look like an outsider – a tourist or vacationer, for example – you may become a target. There are a few simple things that you can do to maintain your awareness of your surroundings and decrease the likelihood that you may become the victim of a crime.
     
    1) Look for People Who Don't Belong. Even if you find yourself in an unfamiliar country with an unfamiliar culture, it may still be possible for you to spot the people who look out of place, as if they're watching the crowd, looking for foreigners who might make unsuspecting targets.
     
    2) Trust your gut. Humans are equipped with intuition as a way to keep us safe from danger. If you feel uncomfortable there may be a reason. Don't dismiss your feeling as nerves out of hand, even though it's certainly possible that you may be going through culture shock and other adjustments as you navigate through a foreign area.
     
    3) Watch the attitudes and activities of the locals. While traveling, whether you are traveling domestically or internationally, keep an eye on the attitude of the locals. If the locals don't seem to be bothered by a potentially suspicious person, than it's probably reasonable to not worry as much. Those who live there know which people look out of place in their environment. Locals may steer clear of, or avoid making eye contact with, suspicious people.
     
    4) Watch the actions of those around you. Security personnel look for tell-tale tipoffs, like pacing or constantly searching. If someone is acting like they are nervous, it's probably for a specific reason. Those who are loitering, especially around parking lots or other areas that do not invite lingering, may also be suspicious.
     
    5) Notice clothing. Especially in stores and shopping malls, hooded sweatshirts, baggy clothing, and large backpacks tip-off security guards that someone may be trying to hide stolen goods. The same methods can be used to conceal drugs or weapons. Hoods and hats also serve the purpose of making the wearer harder to identify after the fact.
     
    Though traveling in unfamiliar locales can make you a target, luckily there is something you can do about it. Do your best to follow the local customs so that you blend in, and keep your eye out for anything or anyone that looks suspicious. If you do spot someone who looks out of place, it's best not to look as though you are frightened of them, as that will only make you look more like easy prey. Keep your shoulders set back and your hands out of your pockets. If you walk with your head down and hands in your pockets, you are demonstrating a submissive posture that is often interpreted as weak. Keep your distance. If an individual seems to be getting too close to you try to escape or try to contact someone nearby. Consider carrying a personal alarm or pepper spray, if it's allowed at your destination.

    Article Title: Personal Alarms For Self Defense

    Stun guns, pepper spray, car keys and even martial arts can be great tools in protecting yourself from potential assailants. However, all of those tools can potentially be turned against you. They also have the potential to cause harm to either yourself or your assailant, and in today's world, causing harm to a potential assailant can result in unfortunate legal battles.
     
    Another alternative means for self defense is the whistle, but a whistle still requires that you can get the whistle out and blow it loud enough for someone else to hear. A better option is the personal alarm. A personal alarm can be carried on a keychain and emits a sound that is incredibly loud.
     
    If you're worried about your safety or the safety of a loved one, especially an elderly relative or a child, these personal alarms are an inexpensive, lightweight, and effective means of self defense. If you plan to use one of these devices for self defense, keep these tips in mind:
     
    1) Keep the device accessible. No personal safety device is effective if you can't get to it when you need it. Attaching the alarm to car keys is a great idea, since you can carry your keys in your hand, and can use those keys as a second line of defense against an assailant. Don't throw the personal alarm into a desk drawer, the bottom of your backpack, or the center console of your car. Otherwise, you'll find yourself fumbling for it or unable to reach it when you truly need it.
     
    2) Know how to operate the device. Though personal alarms are designed to be as easy to use as possible, you won't have time to examine the device when you're being attacked, so you should take some time now to familiarize yourself with its features. Most of these alarms have one button that emits the alarm when depressed, as well as a safety feature that prevents the alarm from going off accidentally. Know how loud the device is and familiarize yourself with any safety features that may prevent the alarm from going off when you need it. If you know what the alarm sounds like you'll be ready for the sound when you depress the button.
     
    3) Use the element of surprise to your advantage. The idea of personal alarms is that they will surprise a potential assailant and knock them off their guard, providing you with the element of surprise. A personal alarm is also a great way to alert bystanders to the problem. You may need to catch the attacker off guard in order to reach for the alarm. Once you depress the button, use the time to get away from the assailant. Take advantage of the time to get into your car, run away, or get to a more populated location. If others are around try to get their attention, since bystanders may be encouraged to help you once they hear the alarm.
     
    It's hard to formulate a plan for every emergency situation, since there are a great number of variables. In addition, the incredible spike in your adrenaline while in emergency situations may prevent you from thinking clearly. For this reason, it is crucial that you know how to use your keychain alarm and keep it handy.

    Article Title: 6 Tips For Stay at Home Parents

    Staying at home to care for your kids is certainly a rewarding opportunity, but it is also a lot of hard work! No matter the age of your kids, staying at home all day with them leads to plenty of challenges. Taking care of them and their needs is forefront to this task, but it's important to take care of yourself, too. Here are the top 6 survival tips for stay at home parents:
     
    1. Make sure your home is safe for your child. This is certainly important if your kids spent all day at school or at daycare, but especially important if they will be there all day long with you. Besides child safety products like the ubiquitous cabinet latch or outlet cover, you may also need swimming pool alarms, motion detectors to let you know when they come out of their bedroom, or a range of other security devices to make your life as a stay at home mom easier.
     
    2. Take time for yourself. Don't feel guilty about taking time away from the home to meet up with a friend, go shopping, or have a cup of coffee. At least once a month, connect with your friends, the world outside your home, and your personal self. Grown-up time is especially important when you spend all day with children.
     
    3. Work on your own personal development. Outside of the workforce, it's easy to become comfortable with who you are at the present. Whether you plan to go back to work once your kids are in school or not, work on professional skills, hobbies, and personal skills. Volunteer with a local organization, take classes online or in the evenings, or take a self defense class to build self-assurance.
     
    4. Budget carefully. Being a stay-at-home parent doesn't just mean that your income has been taken out of the equation; it often also brings with it the temptation to spend more. You're at home all day long – why not take the kids shopping? Or maybe your hours in the living room have made you see the benefit of buying a new TV? Especially as you transition into this lifestyle, it's important to pay attention to the financial reality.
     
    5. Be aware that you're the only adult home. Be cautious about who knows this fact and who you let inside while you're caring for your kids. You're chasing after your toddler when you hear a knock at the door. In your rush to answer it, you don't bother to look through the peephole to see who's there. It could be a burglar – even dressed in the uniform of a delivery driver or a repair worker – and you've just let him walk right in through your front door. Some criminals target homes during the daytime, when most adults are away at work, putting you in a particularly vulnerable position.
     
    6. Take your kids out of the house frequently. Kids and adults alike begin to feel cooped up if they spend all of their days at home. Take your kids to children's museum, story time, and other child-friendly events around the town. Just be sure to do it safely. Dress kids in bright colors so that you can spot them in the crowd, consider giving them panda bear-shaped alarms so that they can alert adults if they are lost or in danger, and of course, keep an eye on your children, wherever you go.
     
    Becoming a stay at home mom can be a dream come true, but many new moms struggle to enjoy it to its fullest. Being home alone with the kids – whether you have one infant or half a dozen teens in the home – is certainly a challenge for any parent, no matter how experienced, to handle. When you are a happy and confident stay-at-home-parent, you will interact differently with your children, leading to a happier home environment.

    When a thief breaks into your home, they're probably after your jewelry, cash, guns, and electronics, right? While these categories of items are certainly targeted by most burglars, there is another category of items you may not even have thought of: personal documents. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in burglars stealing personal documents, which are then sold on the black market to identity thieves. They may also obtain this information by going through your trash, hacking into your computer, or stealing it from a bank or other institution. These thieves locate your information via any number of resources.
     
    With the rise of the internet has come a growing number of identity theft cases. By some estimates, up to ten million American fall victim to ID theft each year. So what exactly does identity theft mean? Simply speaking, identity theft occurs when someone, without your knowledge, gains access to your personal information and uses it to commit fraud. For example, they might use your name, birthdate, and Social Security number to sign up for credit cards, obtain medical care, or even buy a house.
     
    What Do Identity Thieves Steal?
     
    The name "identity theft" is a little misleading, since these thieves aren't pretending to be their victims 24/7. For the most part, these thieves use a name, date of birth, social security number, address, or credit card numbers to make purchases in your name. The thief gets a bunch of free stuff and your credit rating suffers immensely. Victims of this type of crime often don't know that they're victims until it's too late. In fact, there have been thousands of cases in which victims of identity theft didn't know they had been targeted until being turned down when applying for a loan of their own.
     
    How does the theft work?
     
    There are many different kinds of identity theft. As mentioned above, the thief may get your personal information from almost anywhere. A surprising amount of personal data is contained in job applications, discarded bills, and other paperwork you may leave around the house without a second thought. Once the thief has your data, your existing credit card or bank accounts may be taken over, or new accounts and loans opened in your name?
     
    How can you protect yourself?
     
    While you can't prevent a thief from stealing information from a bank or other organization – once you send these companies your personal information, there's virtually no way for you to know who has access to it – there are a few things you can do to reduce the possibility of becoming an identity theft victim.
     
    1. Do not give out your social security number unless you trust the company requesting it.
     
    2. Shred (rather than just throwing away) any document with sensitive information on it.
     
    3. Keep your credit card in a safe place in your wallet. Do not write the PIN number on the card or keep the PIN number with the card, and do not tell anyone the number.
     
    4. Use cash if you don't feel comfortable handing over your credit card
     
    Scrutinize bank account statements for anything amiss
     
    5. Check your credit score at least once per year.

    Article Title: Earthquake Safety Tips

    If you live in an earthquake-prone area, you probably already know it. Those living on the West Coast of the US are aware that an earthquake might strike at any time, and many residents of those areas have lived through a few. If you do live in an earthquake prone area, there are many things that you can do to prepare yourself for the potential shaking.
     
    Prepare - Like any potential emergency, those who prepare beforehand fare a great deal better than those who don't prepare. Create an emergency plan that includes where to rendezvous with family members and how you will get in touch with each other in the event that there is no cell phone reception. Keep food, water and extra clothing on hand in a safe place, along with an emergency kit consisting of necessary supplies. Make sure everyone in your household knows how and where to shut off water and gas lines.
     
    With kids - In earthquake-prone regions, most schools conduct emergency practice drills for what to do during an earthquake. You may wish to practice these drills with your children at home, so that they know what to do in the event that an earthquake strikes while they are in the house. It's also a good idea to practice general emergency plans and escape routes, in case of an earthquake, fire or other emergency.
     
    During An Earthquake
     
    During an earthquake your adrenaline will quickly spike and your mind and heart will be racing, making it difficult to remember what it is that you're supposed to be doing. In this situation, it's important to focus on your physical safety. Stay away from anything that may fall, drop or shatter. Ceiling fixtures, windows, bookcases, lamps and cabinets will shift and fall. The best places to stand during the shaking tend to be under a piece of sturdy furniture (such as a desk), in a door frame (as long as there isn't a door that could swing closed on you), or on an interior wall. Wherever you are positioned, make sure that your head and neck are protected.
     
    If you are indoors, stay there until the shaking stops. If you are driving, continue until it's safe to stop. Do not stop under a bridge, underpass, power lines, or trees. Remain in your car. If you are caught outdoors, move away from trees, buildings, and power lines. The bottom line is that shaking means falling, so stay away from anything that could fall on you.
     
    Aftermath - Once the shaking stops, check yourself and anyone with you for injury. Fire alarms, sprinklers and car alarms will probably be triggered by the shaking. Move to a safe location that is away from falling debris. Ensure that power, gas and water are shut off at the source in order to prevent additional damage from ruptured gas or water lines or power surges. If you have an earthquake plan with your family, move to your rendezvous point. Be aware that aftershocks (smaller earthquakes) are likely to occur in the coming hours and days.

    Article Title: Protect Your Basement Too

    When it comes to home security, you're probably worried about someone breaking in through your bedroom window or the front door, right? A lot of people forget that burglars often enter homes through garages and other places, particularly basements. For this reason, focus on basement security as you're trying to improve the security of your home.
     
    Though the basement itself may not hold anything of value, often doors or windows leading to the basement are not as well protected as other entry points to the home. Most people spend far less energy and time thinking about their basement than on other areas of the home. You might think that your basement is dark and creepy, but a criminal just sees it as easy access to the rest of your home. Of course, if you use the space for storage, criminals might see the added benefit of hitting the basement, where they can spend time rummaging through your stuff without you having any idea they're down there.
     
    What can you do to protect the security of this area? First, improve the windows. Make sure they lock securely from the inside, always keep them locked, and protect them with audible window alarms. Those living in an older home may want to consider replacing the windows. Older windows are often easier to break, not to mention drafty, potentially increasing your home heating costs. Wood-framed windows located near the ground, as many basement windows are, are particularly susceptible to damage related to age, which may allow a burglar to easily pry the window open. In addition to replacing the windows with sturdier ones equipped with locks and audible alarms, glass break alarms are another great security device to alert you to someone trying to squeeze in through a basement window.
     
    Many families consider installing burglar bars on these windows, even if they do not have such bars on the windows of their regular living spaces. Although such devices can prevent a burglar from smashing the window to gain entry, consider how the bars are installed. If not secure enough, a burglar may simply remove them before breaking in. On the other hand, bars that can't be easily removed from inside the home impede exit in the case of a fire or other emergency.
     
    What are other ways to prevent burglars from breaking into this area? First, advertise your alarm system with alarm company signs and decals – even if you don't have a whole-house alarm system installed. Improve outdoor lighting, especially around windows and doors. Consider security cameras or dummy cameras if you are particularly concerned about people prowling around your home. Trim trees and bushes surrounding the basement – thieves often use them as coverage while they're trying to break in. Consider planting such shrubbery further away from the home, or replace it with thorny varieties such as roses.
     
    The most effective home security strategies are those devised with your home's particular layout and weaknesses in mind. Always remember to protect every potential entry into your home, not just the ones you use every day.

    Self defense products aren't just for women. Guys, too, need a way to protect themselves if they are confronted with violence. If you're a college-aged guy, you might think that you're strong enough to fight back against whatever comes your way, or that no one will ever try to attack you because you're male. What if you're confronted by an angry and violent group of people while you're out at a bar? Or a rabid dog on your morning run?
     
    The fact is, these situations require a little more planning if you want to escape unharmed. Being prepared doesn't mean you're less macho, but it does mean that you are prepared for anything that comes your way. These are some of the most popular self defense products for guys heading away to college:
     
    1. Pepper spray. This useful self defense product is not just for women. Even if you plan to fight back physically if you are ever attacked, pepper spray provides the edge you need to get away. Keep a canister of pepper spray on your keychain in case you ever need it – what do you have to lose? One of the many benefits of pepper spray is that it can be used against multiple assailants if you find yourself confronted by an angry group.
     
    2. Expandable baton or Kubotan. For guys who prefer a more hands-on style of self defense, consider a an expandable baton or Kubotan. These keychain self defense products have many uses, though they require a bit more experience to use correctly. Use it as a poking or stabbing device or as part of your car emergency kit to break a window if needed.
     
    3. Self defense DVDs. If you insist on relying only on your own power to protect yourself from attack, make sure you know how to do it effectively. Self defense training DVDs will teach you the moves you need for real-world scenarios. This type of self defense is much different than the hypothetical training you'd get at a martial arts school.
     
    4. Diversion safe. Self defense isn't just about protecting your personal safety, but also your belongings. Are you worried about your iPod or iPhone getting stolen from your car or your dorm room? Use a diversion safe, which is shaped like an everyday product like a soda can. Hide your valuables in plain sight – no one will ever give your hiding place a second look.
     
    5. Door and window alarms. It's much easier to keep someone out of your home than to fight them off once they get in. Door and window alarms are crucial home security measures for any living space, from the smallest dorm room to the biggest mansion. By protecting your home, you reduce the chance that you will ever have to use your pepper spray, baton, or self defense skills to fight off an intruder.
     
    Far too many guys think that they will never be the victim of an attack, or will be able to physically fight off an attacker. The truth is, in a situation where you are being attacked, you will not be prepared for a fight – but your attacker will be. That's why you need the self defense products on this list, to ensure a fighting chance to defend yourself or someone else should the need arise.

    Many young children are taught that dangers exist in the wider world, not lurking inside their own home. While of course it's important to teach your kids about "stranger danger," it is just as important to protect children from the dangers inside the home. In fact, thousands of deaths and millions of hospital visits every year are blamed on accidents inside and around the home. Meanwhile, families are busy installing home security dangers to keep intruders out. These accidental injuries and deaths could be prevented if you are aware of the danger and take steps to protect your family. Here are the top 6 causes of accidental injury and deaths in the home:
     
    1. Falls. Both the young and old are susceptible to this threat, as is anyone who climbs onto the roof of the house to hang Christmas lights, runs down the stairs in a rush, or is not paying attention to where they are going. To prevent falls, install rails on the stairways and slip-proof rugs in bathrooms and kitchens, and make sure such areas are adequately lit. Also make sure your home has enough ladders so that you don't feel tempted to reach objects without one. Throw rugs are a common cause of slips in the home. Make sure they are secured to the underlying flooring or remove them.
     
    2. Poisoning. This tragic cause of death is 100% preventable. Keep all chemicals, cleaning solutions, and medications under lock and key. These items may be found in surprising places around the home, not only in the bathroom and kitchen but also the shed, garage, or attic.
     
    3. Fire. This leading cause of accidental deaths often tops families' lists of home security fears, though far too many families do nothing to prevent this possibility. Make an escape plan, check smoke detector batteries regularly, and place both fire extinguishers and fire escape ladders around the home. Make sure all family members, especially kids and teens, know cooking safety guidelines so that they don't get burnt while in the kitchen.
     
    4. Choking or suffocating. At least one family member should have up-to-date training on the Heimlich maneuver, a procedure used to help someone who is choking. Keep plastic bags and small items which may be swallowed out of the reach of small children.
     
    5. Drowning. Even an adult can drown in a surprisingly small body of water. Backyard pools pose a huge threat, even if you don't have kids. Always keep your pool or hot tub fenced in, with a secure lock. Use a swimming pool alarm to alert you to someone falling or jumping into the water without supervision.
     
    6. Failure to adequately childproof the home. Young children can get into all sorts of trouble with hanging electrical cords or window blind cords. Kids can also bump into sharp corners of furniture or even pull furniture over on top of themselves if it's not secured properly. Use basic childproofing supplies, such as electrical outlet covers and drawer latches, to keep children safe from these types of threats.
     
    Families often consider their home a safe haven, and in doing so neglect to take even simple steps to make their home safer.

    If you're like many Americans, you spend a great deal of time commuting to and from work, school, and other activities. Regardless of the amount of time that you spend on the road, you should be prepared for a variety of road-related hazards. Maintaining your vehicle is a good start, and so is joining a road-side assistance program like AAA. In addition to those precautions you may want to include some of the following safety items in the trunk of your car:
     
    1. A First Aid Kit
     
    2. An Emergency Survival Kit (with extra food and water)
     
    3. A flashlight
     
    4. A Space blanket and/or poncho
     
    Aside from all of the items mentioned above, you should also keep the tools and spare parts that you might need to get your car going. Vehicles, no matter their age, manufacturer, or quality, can and do break down. Even if you don't consider yourself mechanically inclined, these tools are essential to getting back on the road quickly. Learn how to change a spare tire and jump a car battery, if you don't already. Several items that you should keep in your vehicle:
     
    1.Spare tire and the tools necessary to change the tire
     
    2. A pair of jumper cables
     
    3. A bottle of water
     
    4. A bottle of motor oil
     
    5. Duct tape
     
    6. Road flares or reflectors
     
    You may also want to consider a car alarm, particularly if you and your car spend a great deal of time in an urban area or an area known for car thefts, or your car is on the list of most frequently-stolen models. There is a wide-range of car alarms on the market, and many of the newer models include an automatic ignition cut-off, sirens, GPS tracking, and other high-tech features. Many companies can also install a remote ignition start and remote electronic locks – although some cars now come standard with some of these features. If you are worried about car thieves, anti-theft "club" devices are another popular solution.
     
    Back-up cameras are also becoming very popular in the realm of vehicle safety. Some back-up cameras are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. If you often park in environments where parallel parking is a necessity, back-up cameras can provide an easy way to keep you aware of hazards behind your vehicle. Even when just backing out of your driveway, such a camera helps you ensure that there's nothing behind you, such as a small child, that would not be seen through your car's rear-view mirror.
     
    Car safety is as much about what's in your car as how you drive your car. Always drive with your safety in mind. Avoid aggravating other drivers; road rage is a growing problem throughout the country. Other helpful hints for keeping your vehicle safe include: parking in well lit areas; removing GPS devices and radio faceplates from your dashboard and stowing them in a secure location while you're parked; keeping other valuables hidden; and, keeping your car locked at all times.

    To make sure your home is secure from burglars and other threats, you must call a home security alarm company and have them install an expensive whole-house alarm system, right? Actually, many homeowners have found that there is a better option for them: DIY home security systems.
     
    That's right, you can make your home more secure in just a weekend, while avoiding the expense of having an alarm company come out to install a complicated system. The rapid advance of computer technology and the increasing affordability of products has increased both access and alternatives to high priced home security systems. Depending on your needs and desires, you may decide to design your own home security system. Although many professionally installed systems can provide direct contact with authorities in times of crises, they can also be expensive and complex, and may not be the best choice for all homes.
     
    Some of the many options available to you as a consumer include: deadbolts and other locks, wireless surveillance cameras, dummy cameras, wireless alarm systems for doors and windows, glass break detectors... The list goes on and on! In fact, no matter what area you're trying to protect, there's sure to be a home security product to suit your needs.
     
    Home security begins long before a potential thief enters your property. Security begins with the overall appearance of your home. Using motion sensing lights and maintaining visibility on your property can act as a deterrent. Signs and stickers from a home alarm company can fool a thief into believing you've invested in an expensive alarm system – and cause them to think twice about breaking in. Make sure there's nowhere to hide near doors and windows, so that potential thieves don't feel comfortable breaking in there. For example, plant thorny rose bushes under windows, not big trees that provide plenty of cover for a thief.
     
    Cameras, integrated into your home security system, may also be used to see who is at your front door, or to check on your child during naptime. Cameras come in a variety of sizes and styles, including the popular "nanny cams" which can be hidden almost anywhere in the home. Most cameras on the market today are digital and can be set to infrared or "night vision" to record images in low light situations. A variety of home security options can be monitored remotely, allowing you increased peace of mind while on vacation. Whenever you're traveling, you can check in on your residence via the computer or smart-phone. There are also "dummy cameras" for those who want cameras to deter burglars, but are looking for an even lower-cost solution.
     
    Door and window alarms are among the most popular DIY security products. These simple wireless alarms attach to entry points in your home. Door and window alarms are also a great option for renters, since they are just as easy to uninstall and take with you when you move. Not only can they keep burglars out, but they are also a great way to make sure your child is not out of their room in the middle of the night.

    Article Title: How to Avoid Getting Locked Out of Your Home

    If you've ever been locked out of your home, you know what a hassle it can be. In the worst-case scenario you may have to call a locksmith to come out and re-key your doors, which can cost a pretty penny. There are a few easy tricks that can help prevent you from locking yourself out.
     
    First, make a couple extra copies of your house key. Though you should always be cautious when giving a key to others – lest it end up in the wrong hands – it makes sense to keep a spare in your wallet. More often than not, if you get locked outside it'll be because you've locked your car keys inside your house or vehicle. Having a key in your wallet is often a cheap way to get back into your home without too much trouble.
     
    If you have a nearby neighbor or friend that you trust you can also leave a key with them, which is also advantageous in the event of an emergency. However, you shouldn't start giving out your key to everyone you know. The risk of being locked out simply isn't high enough to justify opening this significant hole in your security defenses. Once the key is out of your hands, you never know where it could end up. However, there is someone else who may already have a copy of the key, and you can try calling them if you get locked out. That's your landlord or property manager – who may have a master key to your door.
     
    Of course, there's always the age-old solution to simply to hide a key somewhere on the premises. You might be surprised to learn that this isn't always the safest way to go. Leaving a key outdoors means anyone who walks up could potentially walk right into your home. If you do this, go about it cautiously. Do not place the key under a doormat or flower pot, or on top of the door frame, as many thieves will check those locations first. Instead, use a hide-a-key that is disguised to look like an everyday object. These disguised safes hide your keys or other valuables in plain sight.
     
    On rare occasions you may find yourself locked out of your home without your wallet, cell phone, or keys. What then? It's best to prepare for this possibility beforehand. If there's nowhere to leave a key hidden, your choices are limited, though you still have options. If you live in a home with a garage, you may want to consider installing an electronic keypad on your garage door. Many garage door openers are compatible with these electronic keypads, allowing you to gain access to your home via your garage with a memorized entry code. If you're willing to invest more money, you can have a keypad entry system installed on your front door. These keypads can add an additional layer of security, since the locks can be difficult or impossible for a thief to pick.

    Article Title: Keeping Your New HDTV Protected

    If you've invested in a new HDTV, you are no doubt eager to keep it safe from potential thieves. As you may already know, high-end electronics are one of the targets thieves are after. There are a variety of ways to protect any investment, and protecting an expensive piece of home-theater equipment is no different. To begin with, you should document your new purchase by recording the serial number, model and other pertinent information and storing the documents in a safe place. Add photographs of the HDTV and sales receipts to your records to ensure that you will be reimbursed in case of a theft, fire, or other loss. If you have a particularly high-end model, it may be wise to inform your home insurance agent of the purchase so that it can be added to your policy.
     
    Once you take the TV out of the box, you're probably excited to set it up, and don't worry a whole lot about what to do with the box, right? Don't just put it by the curb on your next recycling day! Otherwise, the whole neighborhood will know exactly what kind of TV you've purchased. Your trash has the potential to be a great source of information for thieves – so don't make it even easier for them by advertising your recent "big-ticket" purchases.
     
    In addition to documenting and insuring your purchase, be aware of how the TV is mounted or displayed. One common way that TVs are now displayed is to mount them to a wall. HDTVs and other flat panel televisions should be mounted straight into the studs rather than the drywall. Mounting your TV to the framing of your house (aka "studs") will not only help secure your TV from damage, but will also make it difficult for thieves to remove the TV from your residence. If it's not possible to secure your HDTV to a wall, consider bolting it to a large piece of furniture in order to make it more difficult to move.
     
    Consider installing a home security system if you don't already own one. Security systems can protect your valuables and also make it more difficult for your thieves and burglars to walk off with your prized possessions. In the event that you need to have a repairman service your TV at your home, try to schedule the repairs at a time when you will be home, and preferably with someone else in the home as well. If it's inconvenient to schedule repairs when you will be present ask a trusted friend or family member to supervise. Consider setting up a "nanny cam" to keep an eye on repair personnel, even if you'll just be in another room while they are working on your TV.
     
    If you have installed something particularly expensive, such as a high-definition TV, improve your home security in the room where the item is located. For example, point a security camera or tummy camera at the TV. Install glass break detectors or window alarms on the sliding glass door to your living room, where the TV hangs in full view of the neighbors. Use common sense – do not leave the curtains open so anyone wandering by can check out your possessions. In fact, this is crucial to your home security even if you think you have nothing worth stealing.

    Many parents enjoy the benefit of living close to their children's school. In fact, the proximity of local schools might even be a motivating factor when deciding where to move. There are many benefits of living that close – but also some potential drawbacks. This is particularly true if your kids live close enough that they can walk to school. Here are some of the benefits, potential problems, and solutions you should be aware of before you send them off alone:
     
    BENEFITS
     
    Among the benefits of allowing your children to walk to school, you can count on increased exercise and independence. We are all familiar with the rising childhood obesity problems in the US, and allowing your children to walk to school allows a little extra daily exercise. Likewise, you can count on increased independence as a fringe benefit of allowing your child to walk to school, whether they return home to an empty house – as "latch-key kids" or you're at home with their after-school snack waiting for them.
     
    POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
     
    The potential problems that may be related to having your child walk to school are what stands in the way of many parents allowing their children to walk to school, even if the distance is not far. Even in the nicest and safest neighborhoods predators may target students. There have been several cases of children being abducted when walking just a few blocks away. Stray dogs or unsafe drivers may endanger your child during their daily trek to school. Additionally, some students may take advantage of an unsupervised walk to school as a way to cut class or engage in other activities that you wouldn't condone, such as bullying, substance abuse, or vandalism.
     
    POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
     
    First, find other students in your neighborhood to walk with your children. The larger the group of children, the larger the likelihood that they will arrive on campus safely. Predators are more likely to target students walking alone than they are to attack students walking in large groups. If your student is walking with others, he or she will also be more noticeable and less likely to be the victim of an unsafe driver. For those students who are likely to become truant or engage in other activities, the added sense of community may help hold them more accountable. That said, it's a good idea to make sure that you know the children your student is walking to school with. Only allow your student to walk with other students whom you trust.
     
    Additional solutions include creating a "walking pool." This idea works similarly to a carpool, but on foot. Parents take turns walking with the children to school. A responsible adult ensures that the students walk to school safely and arrive on time. If you do decide to implement this idea, consider preparing the adult with safety equipment, which can include a bright orange safety vest, crossing flags, or even a personal alarm. In fact, personal alarms are also a great solution for children walking to school without an adult, and they even come in child-friendly animal shapes.
     
    Walking to school is something of a right of passage for many families and communities, and it can contribute to physical, emotional and psychological strength. If you're considering allowing your student to walk to school you can also contact your local police department or community watch to discuss potential safety strategies.

    Article Title: Security Measures to Keep Documents Safe

    No matter the size your business, you no doubt have a variety of sensitive documents that you want to keep safe. Whether your documents are employees records, financial statements, or proprietary information, there is a variety of ways that you can keep your documents safe. Whether these documents are kept inside a big office building, or in your home office, you must take steps to safeguard them. A theft could mean identity theft, financial losses for your company, and even legal action brought by those whose personal information you have.
     
    First, reconsider how you get rid of documents once you're done with them. If you throw them in a trash, any enterprising identity thief could get ahold of the information. In fact, most of these thieves know that garbage cans are a great source of personal information. Instead, dispose of those documents using a paper or document shredder. If you have many documents to shred on a regular basis, you may want to hire one of many shredding services that will dispose of your documents in a safe way.
     
    For documents that you want to keep on hand, consider digitizing the files. Although we often think of ourselves as a "paperless" society, we all know that there are a variety of documents that businesses generate, and those documents often contains sensitive information. Employee documents and HR files, for example, may include Social Security Numbers. Medical documents may include information about patient care, medications and treatments. These documents can be scanned (or, "digitized") and encrypted to make the safe and accessible.
     
    Once your documents are safely digitized and encrypted, you have the ability create backup files, in case of fire, theft or other damage. Although theft is certainly one of the things you're eager to protect your company against, you may also want to take into account the damage that may result from fire, pests, flooding or other natural disasters. By digitizing your information and keeping it off-site, you can increase the safety and security of your documents.
     
    If it is necessary to keep your documents in a hard-copy form, or if you would like to maintain these original records, invest in a locking fireproof cabinet or safe. Naturally, the cabinet or safe you purchase will depend on the number of documents you need to store as well as how imperative the safety of those documents is to your business.
     
    Go the extra step of increasing security and surveillance around the area where such documents are kept. For example, install door and window alarms on any access points leading to the records. Position a surveillance camera pointing towards the records. If there is ever a question of who has accessed the files, your camera records will be invaluable. Even a dummy camera can be quite effective at preventing theft.
     
    Even if you think the files are safe in your home office, take these steps to prevent them. In fact, thieves are often aware of who has a home office, and where it is in the home. This room quite often contains expensive electronics as well as sensitive files, making it an attractive target for burglars.
     
    Keeping a close eye on your documents is the first step towards protecting them from theft. Limiting the number of employees with access to specific files is one way to increase the level of security. Consider the importance of the document and how much you'd be willing to invest to protect them. Your overall decision should take into account whether or not other parties would be interested in the documents and what, if anything, they might be willing to do to access those documents.

    Article Title: Can You Kill Someone With a TASER Device

    The question on everyone's mind as they consider buying a TASER device for personal protection is whether being shot with a TASER has the potential to kill a target. TASER devices employ an electric pulse, causing involuntary and instantaneous muscle contraction. Though the effects look ugly, in fact they cause few if any long-term health consequences.
     
    TASER devices come in several voltage ratings. Operating on two nine volt batteries, most TASER units range between 65,000 and 500,000 volts. The higher the voltage, the more effective the TASER is at "stunning" or immobilizing an individual. At a higher voltage, some TASERS can immobilize an individual for up to fifteen minutes. Though these devices use a high voltage current, the amperage is low, which enables the device to incapacitate a target without causing permanent damage. Some, however, worry that this strong electrical current could cause permanent damage. Even if the target is a mugger or a burglar breaking in through a window, some worry about the potential for inflicting permanent damage on someone else while trying to protect themselves.
     
    The good news is, TASER devices make effective and extremely safe self defense device. According to TASER International, the maker of these devices, TASER use is non-lethal. In fact, the company has funded numerous research studies to back up this claim. Though there are occasional news stories of a suspect dying after being hit with a TASER device wielded by a police officer, such stories are few and far between. In fact, when one considers the frequency of TASER use, this number is overwhelmingly small.
     
    In fact, TASER devices are often employed as an alternative to lethal force. Particularly when carried by law enforcement officials, this device provides an alternative for pulling a gun on a suspect. They can also be used in situations where lethal force is not warranted.
     
    Over the last decade or so, TASER devices have seen rapidly increasing use. Along with frequent use comes the possibility that some targets have preexisting health conditions which exacerbate the effects of the device. Debate remains regarding whether or not a Taser, alone, can cause death. The majority of research indicates that a simple TASER shot is not enough to cause death in most healthy individuals. Factors such as heart conditions or the use of alcohol or illegal drugs can affect how the TASER device affects the body. Some considerations may include the distance from the subject to the device, as well as the length of time the electrical probes remained in contact with the target's body. The specific location on the body at which the probes made contact has also been shown to affect the strength of the TASER's effect.
     
    According to one report, which examined autopsy reports of individuals who died after being shocked with a TASER device, over fifty percent appeared to have preexisting cardiovascular disease. Eighty percent tested positive for illegal substances – primarily stimulants. Ultimately, the report concluded that the use of the TASER device was considered a potential or contributory cause for 27% of deaths, though preexisting heart conditions or substance use was primarily to blame in most cases. The report notes that these findings are consistent with prior studies. Among reported cases of death related to TASER use, heart conditions, use of amphetamines, alcohol abuse, or the presence of a pacemaker are key factors.

    When it comes to home security, far too many people think that it won't happen to me. After all, burglaries happen to other people, in other neighborhoods, right? Wrong! In fact, a home invasion or burglary can happen to anyone, in any community – now matter how safe your street seems.
     
    Many families assume that their home won't become the target of a burglar because they have nothing worth stealing. If you think that your home doesn't have anything of value, guess again. Today's burglars are after not only nice new high-definition TVs and cash, but also DVDs, cell phones, prescription medications, and even your stack of bills, which can be sold to identity thieves. In fact, every home can fall victim to a burglar, no matter what you have inside. When deciding which home to target, burglars worry more about the home security systems you have in place than exactly what they might be able to steal from you.
     
    Just how common are the type of burglaries you see in the movies – a masked invader crawling through a window or smashing the door in? Though not all burglars break in under the cover of night, and many will dress in a disguise rather than a ski mask, the fact is that a burglary happens every 12 seconds somewhere in the country, according to the FBI. Thousands of homeowners fall victim to this threat every year. With the average loss during a home invasion estimated at $1725 to $2,000 by the FBI, clearly this is a threat you must protect yourself from.
     
    Though no one wants to think of their home as vulnerable, doing so is necessary if you want to protect your possessions and your family from harm. Install door and window alarms, motion detectors, dummy cameras, and other security devices. Doing so will make burglars think twice about targeting your home. In fact, the mere sight of such features is often enough to dissuade someone looking for an easy target; the alarms don't even have to go off to do their job.
     
    In addition to installing security features, use common sense to avoid a burglar. Do not answer the door for a stranger or give out personal information that could be used against you. Burglars may dress up as delivery drivers as an attempt to gain entry into your home. You may not realize it, but not all burglaries include forced entry. A burglar might use personal information gleaned from going through your discarded mail, along with the disguise of a repairman, to talk their way inside your home.
     
    Above all, always be prepared for the worst. Though you always want to think of your home as a safe harbor, there are dangers you must be aware of. The homes most likely to be targeted are those occupied by families who never thought a burglary could happen to them. Whether you live in the city, in the suburbs, or even in a rural area, you should be concerned with the possibility of falling victim to a burglar.

    Firearms have the potential provide an additional sense of safety in the home, provided that the owner is properly trained in the use of guns. On the other hand, many have pointed to statistics which show that in the event of a home invasion, the chances are quite high that the homeowner who pulls out a gun is likely to be injured or killed during the struggle. Regardless, the right to bear arms is also a right granted by the US Constitution. If you are keeping firearms in your home, there are a few simple measures that you can take to ensure that you and your family are safe from gun-related accidents. These steps include:
     
    1) Treating all firearms as if they are loaded. Always point them in a safe direction, never at another person.
     
    2) Check all firearms to ensure they are not loaded.
     
    3) Keep all firearms unloaded and in safe, locked locations.
     
    After an afternoon at the gun range, unload your weapon prior to entering your home. A firearm should only be loaded while at the range or in the field. Prior to showing your firearms to a friend or family member, make sure that the firearm is unloaded. General wisdom dictates that one should always assume that a firearm is loaded. The weapon's "safety" is a good precaution, but it should not be the only precaution you take. While handling firearms, ensure that the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. Always away from other people.
     
    Rifles and shotguns should be kept in locked and secured cabinets or safes. Likewise, pistols should be kept in a locked drawer or cabinet. As an alternative to a gun safe or lockbox, "trigger locks" can be purchased. Trigger locks prevent a weapon from being inadvertently discharged. In some situations you may want to remove the firing pin from your weapon to add an additional layer of safety. In addition, you may want to keep your ammunition in a separate location, and only keep only a limited amount of ammunition on hand.
     
    If there are children in your home, use common sense when storing firearms. Firearms should be stored in locations that are out of reach of small children. If weapons are being kept in locked cabinets or safes, be certain that children do not have access to the key or combination.
     
    You may decide to train young adults – such as your children – in the proper handling of firearms. By ensuring that everyone in the household is aware of safe handling practices you can, hopefully, prevent accidents from happening.
     
    If this seems like a lot of effort to go through to store guns in the home, that's because it is! If you want to protect your family without the danger of keeping a loaded weapon where your family sleeps, consider arming yourself with non-lethal self defense devices, such as stun guns, pepper spray, or TASER devices, instead. Though it's still important to store and use these products with caution, there is much less risk to storing them in your home.

    Article Title: How to Help Stop Teen Dating Violence

    Teen dating violence seems to become more and more common every year. With the current rates of teen dating violence affecting up to fifty percent of teens, the problem affects individuals regardless of gender, race, age or socioeconomic status. Rates do show that boys injure girls more frequently and with more severity than girls injure boys. But it is not only physical abuse that affects teens – abuse can also be sexual or psychological.
     
    Peer pressure has long been a problem among teens, and this certainly spills over into the realm of dating. Current studies show that "one in five teen girls and one in ten younger teen girls (ages 13 to 16) have electronically sent or posted nude or semi-nude photos or videos of themselves." Of those young girls up to twelve percent reported that they felt they were "pressured" to do so.
     
    If you are the parent of a teen or a pre-teen, whether a daughter or son, it is important to prepare yourself for this possibility by learning what to look for. Warning signs that teen dating abuse may be occurring include: sudden change in appearance or attitude, reports of name calling or jealousy, making excuses for a partner's behavior, or unexplainable injuries. Having a support network of friends and family that can notice the warning signs is one of the first steps necessary to preventing teen dating violence from occurring.
     
    Prevention of teen violence begins with an active support network that provides teens with a positive and supportive environment. Parents and educators can discuss the warning signs, dangers and implications of dating violence with teens prior to any dangerous situations. It's generally advisable for parents to talk to teens about the dangers of violence prior to teens dating.
     
    There are a number of non-profit organizations that provide support for teens and their families. Familiarize yourself with these resources now, before your son or daughter comes to you for help, so that you know where to turn in a time of need. Ranging from tips for the prevention of violence to help for those who are experiencing dating violence, these non-profits and groups provide tools and resources of all varieties.
     
    Teens should be aware of how they should be treated and should be provided with the tools necessary to extricate themselves from dangerous situations. While as a parent you of course want your teen to come to you with any problems, it is also important to enable them to get out of a dangerous situation themselves. Consider providing your teen with a personal alarm or, depending on the laws in your state, with pepper spray. Doing so can ensure that your teen can escape a violent or potentially violent situation, ranging from dating violence to a mugger or rapist. Though you surely don't want to think about your son or daughter being placed in such a situation, it is also important to realize that they are growing up and in need of something to protect themselves from these very real dangers.

    Article Title: Who Should Be Protecting Our Kids From Bullying

    It seems like every day there is a story in the news about bullying with horrific consequences, including several recent suicides of students who had been the victims of bullying. Every day, it is estimated that more than 160,000 students skip school because they fear being bullied. Whether you're a teacher, a parent, or a concerned community member, you may be asking yourself what you can do to stop this problem.
     
    The effects of taunting and bullying can last a lifetime – and are the top reason for suicide among teenagers. For bullied victims, the school becomes a frightening and intimidating place, not a safe haven in which to learn and grow. Bullying should not be seen as "normal," though it has plagued children for generations. Do not write off bullying with a "kids will be kids" mantra. Though an easy cop out, it is your responsibility – as a parent, a teacher, or someone who comes into contact with children – to stop the cycle.
     
    Schools can't do it alone – and neither can parents. Both must work together to prevent bullying. This requires effective collaboration among everyone in the community. Make sure that all students know where to get help with bullying and any other issues that may be impeding their success in school. Encourage your local school to offer training to parents, teachers, and security guards on what to do about bullying and other violence that could be happening on the campus. Conduct an anonymous survey to find out the extent of bullying in your community – you might be surprised by the results. Adopt and enforce an anti-bullying policy and increase adult supervision, especially in hallways, playgrounds, and other areas that usually fall outside teachers' control.
     
    The problems might occur in the hallways, in the classroom, on the bus – or even online. Bullying is no longer restricted to fights on the playground. In fact, bullying does not have to be physical at all. With online or "cyberbullying" an increasing problem in kids and teens, parents have more reason than ever to monitor their child's online presence.
     
    Talk to your child frequently. With the lines of communication open, they are more likely to let you know if someone is picking on them. Often, however, students are reluctant to tell an adult about bullying, believing the problem to be their own fault. How, then, can such problems be detected? If the physical bullying is not seen, other signs can include growing isolation, dropping grades, and lowering self esteem. If you learn that your child is being bullied, work with school administrators to find a solution to avoid life-long negative effects stemming from bullying.
     
    If it's your own child being bullied, what can you do to stop the harassment? Besides discussing the matter with your child's teacher and school administrators, consider volunteering your time in the lunch room and on the playground to monitor the students – your child's school may simply lack the resources to have adequate supervision for these areas of the school. Enroll your child in self defense classes and other activities to boost their self esteem, and consider giving them a child-friendly personal alarm if you are concerned about the possibility of physical violence and want to give your child a way to alert nearby adults to the problem.

    Do you love to travel to faraway destinations? Whether you're a frequent vacationer or are always heading out of town for business meetings, spending a lot of your time away from your home poses unique security challenges. In general, thieves prefer to break into a home when they will have a lot of time inside. When the home is occupied every night of the week, it is safer than a home left vacant for several weeks. Far too many frequent fliers leave clues behind to let criminals know that they won't be returning quickly. If you travel often, now is the time to protect your home.
     
    If you're like many travelers, the days before your departure are filled with finishing last-minute work and packing your bags, not worrying about someone breaking into your home while you're gone. Even if you're eager to leave town to start your weekend or make a meeting across the country, take the time to schedule services to be begun or halted. Have your mail and newspaper delivery paused while you aren't there. Criminals have long known to check the mailbox and notice the stack of newspapers piling up. Both show that you haven't been home in days. The same goes for a sidewalk that hasn't been shoveled after a snowfall, or grass that clearly hasn't been mowed in weeks.
     
    Your home holds many other clues to your frequent travels. Savvy criminals will notice when a car's not there. Gone for weeks? Ask a neighbor to park in your driveway every couple of weeks to make it look like someone's home. Frequent travelers should consider installing timer-activated controls on their lights and TV, which also serve to make your home looked lived-in.
     
    Always set your home's security system before departing. Of course, you should be using door and window alarms every day, but this is especially important if you'll be gone for an extended period. Burglars who break in to find that no alarms start blaring will be more likely to spend a lot of time in the house, emptying out all of your valuable possessions rather than just grabbing the first few expensive items they see. Consider adding extra security in the form of surveillance cameras, dog barking alarms, and other home security features.
     
    Though alarms and security systems are certainly valuable security features, they are not the only thing you can do to ensure that crimes around your home are caught in a timely manner. Always alert friends or family to your plans, no matter how frequently you're coming and going. Make sure the neighbors know, since they will probably be the first ones to notice if something's amiss. If they don't know that no one is home, they might not think anything's wrong when they see a burglar carting electronics and other possessions out of your home.
     
    Home security should be on the forefront of everyone's mind. This is especially true if you spend a lot of time traveling. If you're constantly gone, think about the message you are sending potential burglars. Take the necessary steps to make your empty home less attractive to these criminals.

    Jogging has long been noted for its health benefits, though it can be a daunting task to begin running. Preparing for your first run is probably the hardest part – it will only get easier from here. As a beginning jogger, it's important to take the necessary steps so that your first few runs are fun, relaxing, and safe. Here are some steps you can take to make jogging both enjoyable and comfortable:
     
    1. Get the right equipment. This is important even if you aren't sure if you will like jogging or stick with it. Proper running shoes and weather-appropriate clothing will go a long ways towards ensuring that your jog is comfortable and pleasant. Without the right gear, you'll find yourself with blisters and aching legs, and you'll probably give up on jogging quickly.
     
    2. Start out slowly. Even if you're only going for a short jog around the block, and don't have very much time to exercise, warm up first. Take a few minutes to stretch, and then start your jog off slow so that your body has time to adjust. Don't overdo it on your first few times out, either by distance or by time. If you're too sore after your first few times jogging, you might feel like giving up on jogging altogether, so it's best to start slow and work your way up to longer distances. Starting by jogging around your block is perfectly acceptable. Do what feels comfortable to you, and then consider adding distance or time. Even if you never get to the point of running a marathon, keep setting goals to increase your fitness level.
     
    3. Drink plenty of water. Make sure you are well hydrated before your run, and replenish your body by drinking water after the jog so that you can avoid dehydration. Some joggers carry water with them, but you might find this awkward if you're still getting used to running.
     
    4. Run in the morning or in the evening, avoiding the bright midday sun. However, always run during daylight hours if you prefer to jog outdoors - many jogging areas are not well lit at night.
     
    5. Understand the risks of jogging. Most people realize that going for a run can mean the potential for injury, but few worry about the risks posed by running into a dog on the loose, a wild animal, or even a dangerous criminal hiding in the bushes. Prepare yourself for these possibilities by jogging in well-populated and well-lit areas, and consider carrying devices such as a stun gun, pepper spray – which is effective against both humans and animals – or a personal alarm. A personal alarm can also alert nearby people if you've become lost, twisted an ankle, or are otherwise in need of assistance.
     
    It is entirely possible to train for a race – whether a 5K or a full marathon – even if you've never run before. If you're a beginning jogger, the key is to stay motivated and to take the necessary steps for a safe and comfortable run. Jogging is great exercise, and with the proper preparations, you will keep running for a lifetime because you enjoy it.

    We've all had to live with a neighbor we didn't particularly care for, at some point or another. Whether you don't like the color they painted their house or don't agree with how they parent their kids, most of these tensions arise from simple lifestyle differences. What about the habits that could actually turn out to be truly dangerous for your neighborhood? Here are the top six bad habits that probably occur around your neighborhood and may be putting your security in jeopardy:
     
    6. Partying loudly. A neighbor that likes to call the cops on a raging party can be a real downer, but sometimes it is necessary to do this if you want to protect your own safety. A loud party means lots off strangers milling about the neighborhood. This provides opportunity for a criminal to stand around outside at all hours of the night and not look out of place.
     
    5. Letting the dogs bark. In a neighborhood where dogs are constantly barking at all hours of the day and night, people learn to ignore them, much like car alarms blaring for no reason. The sound of an actual guard dog sounding the alarm would be drowned out by this noise.
     
    4. An unkempt yard. In some communities, there are regulations concerning the appearance of the lawn. This might seem overbearing, but the rules are there for good reason. A messy yard signals to criminals that the owner doesn't care a lot about their home, and has probably not protected it with security alarms and other features meant to stop a break-in.
     
    3. Being careless about possessions. It's only natural to become comfortable in the place that you live, but you might end up letting your guard down too far. Do your neighbors often start their car early on cold mornings to let it heat up, or leave the front door open on a warm day? What about leaving kids' bikes in the carport, or tools in an unlocked shed? Doing so invites opportunistic thieves to take advantage of this carelessness.
     
    2. Letting "kids be kids." We've all known parents who overlook their children's misdeeds. Some of these are between the kids and the parents, but others affect the safety of the neighborhood. If the teens living next door to you run with a rough crowd, hang out and party late into the evening, or are vandalizing the neighborhood out of boredom, they are putting your neighborhood at risk.
     
    1. Keeping to yourself. It might seem like the polite thing to do, but minding your own business can actually make you miss the signs of criminal behavior on your own street. Neighbors tend to mind their own business too much - and won't take notice of suspicious noises or other problems. Follow up on suspicious noises or behaviors by contacting the police, and hope that your neighbors will return the favor. Forming a neighborhood watch group is an excellent way to commit to putting an end to the habit of ignoring your neighbors.

    Moving Into a New House? Pay Attention To These Home Security Features
     
    There's nothing quite like moving into a new place. Though it can be a very stressful time, it's also very exciting to start unpacking in the home of your dreams. Working out all of the details that come with making this huge financial decision is stressful for anyone, but there are some details you simply can't overlook when moving into a new place, whether it's been lived in before or is entirely new construction.
     
    On top of packing all of your belongings and signing the paperwork to get the keys, every new homeowner must concern themselves with the security of their new abode. After taking hours upon hours to settle on the perfect home, protect your investment with the same careful thought.
     
    Making smart home security decisions actually begins before you've even moved in. Have you purchased new electronics for your home – flat-screen TVs or a new stereo, perhaps? Maybe you saved the boxes when you bought them, and are now using them as moving boxes? When you're done with the boxes, be careful of how you get rid of them! Burglars often become interested when they see a moving van, and will be looking for these telltale signs of the owners' possessions. Do not leave the evidence out on the curb, or savvy burglars will take notice that your home has something worth stealing.
     
    If you're moving into a home that was previously occupied, make sure you get important home security details from the previous owners. How do you operate the home alarm system? Be sure to immediately change garage door codes, the password to the home security system, and the door locks. Doing so ensures that your family is the only one with access to your home.
     
    Moving into a new home is also a great time to reconsider your storage of valuables, from heirloom jewelry to passports. Consider a diversion safe, which is disguised to look like an everyday object. Such safes will be overlooked by burglars searching for items of valuable, and are a great way to keep your valuables within easy access without also making them vulnerable to theft.
     
    In homes both new and old, take time to assess the home security system as you move in. Consider upgrading or updating it with wireless cameras, door and window alarms, glass break detectors, and other home security systems. Consider your personal situation to design the perfect system to protect your family. For example, if you have an elderly relative living with you, make sure there is plenty of lighting indoors at night, and consider slip-proof rugs, handle bars in the showers, and other improvements to make the home safer. Those with young kids may want to install special security features, such as motion detectors, in their children's rooms.
     
    Once your boxes are unpacked, make an effort to meet your new neighbors. Become part of the neighborhood watch group if one is already active, or start one yourself. Neighbors who know each other are more likely to report any suspicious behaviors they see, improving everyone's home security. Be friendly, and get to know those living on your block!
