The image of the carefree tiki hut has captured Americans' imaginations since the beginning of the tiki craze in the 1930s. Today it is more popular than ever to recreate this look in your own home. Whether you are building a basement tiki bar or a huge tiki hut in your backyard, the most important thing is making sure you get the look just right. A tiki hut just isn't a tiki hut without that characteristic thatched roof. Without this material, your "tiki bar" is just a bar serving tropical drinks. To get the traditional look of a tiki hut, place a pitched roof atop your bamboo tiki poles.
When it comes to the roof of your tiki hut or tiki bar, there are several options to get that great look of a tropical island. The most popular materials for tiki bar roofing are grass or palm fronds. Both types of roofing are in common use in many tropical locales around the world. Stitched or stapled down to a sturdy roof, these materials will instantly transport your guests to a sunny island. If you do go with this option, look for materials treated with fire retardant, especially if you hope to use tiki torches near your new bar.
If you are building a tiki hut, you may be reading references to a "thatched roof," without really knowing what this entails. A thatched roof is made of straw, dried palm leaves, or other natural materials, layered together and waterproofed. The result is a warm, water-resistant, and sustainable roofing material that has been used for thousands of years around the globe. A thatched roof looks casual and natural, not to mention giving your bar a great tropical feeling. It's easy to apply this primitive style to your home tiki bar. You can buy rolls of tiki thatch by the foot to roof your tiki bar. A well-made thatched roof can last up to seven rainy years before it must be replaced.
Another choice for tiki hut roofing, though less commonly seen, is bamboo. This quintessential construction material of Polynesia is most often seen in the walls and the structure of the hut, but there's no reason you can't use it on the roof as well. You can buy half-sections of bamboo trunk, with one edge that can be placed flat across the top of your tiki hut, and then nailed, glued, or screwed into place.
Finally, one of the newest methods used to roof tiki huts are tiki style grass shingles. These relatively new building supplies are standard shingles with a covering of shaggy synthetic grass. Though they look a little less realistic than using natural materials for the roof, they are also a great choice for those who are building an outdoor tiki hut that will be exposed to rain and wind. Applied in the same way as plain asphalt shingles, the material used for tiki shingles sheds water much better than grass or palm fronds. They also last longer, especially when exposed to weather. In areas where fires are a concern, you may opt for tiki shingles because they are less of a fire hazard. Grass, palm fronds, bamboo, or tiki shingles alike can be applied on top of a standard piece of plywood. This is the typical construction used for both indoor and outdoor tiki bars.
Once you've finished constructing your tiki bar, now comes the fun part! The best part of decorating a tiki hut is choosing tiki accessories, from tiki masks and carved figures to tiki mugs in which to serve your tropical concoctions.

Article Title: Four Tips on How to Survive a Home Invasion

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
A home invasion is one of the scariest crimes. Not only can it result in serious financial loss, a home invasion can also leave you afraid to sleep and constantly hearing noises at night. Plus, home invasions can turn violent quickly, even if that wasn't the original intent of the thief. While it's always traumatizing to be robbed, it is far better for it to happen when no one is home to get hurt. Whether you rent or own your home, have kids or live alone, you should be prepared for this possibility.
If you want to survive a home invasion, there are two steps you absolutely must take before the break-in happens. First, protect your home. By far the best way to increase your odds of surviving a home invasion is to make it harder for the criminal to get in. Door and window alarms, motion detectors, and outdoor surveillance cameras are just some of the ways you can make your home unattractive to thieves.
Second, be prepared to protect your personal safety. Devices like stun guns and pepper spray are the perfect choice for those who do not feel comfortable keeping a handgun by their bed for personal protection. Know where your self defense product is at all times, and have experience using the device so that you'll be able to use it if you must.
If you have just heard a window break, or have come face-to-face with an intruder, what can you do? Here's how to get out of such a scary situation alive:
1) Do not confront the attacker or investigate strange noises. If they have not seen you yet, make sure they do not. Surprising a criminal can make them turn violent. Do not try to fight a criminal for your possessions – doing so is not worth the risk to your safety. Quietly hide in the furthest corner of the home until you know it's safe to come out, or leave the home if you are able. If you must engage with the criminal, listen to their demands and do not try to fight back unless your personal safety is being threatened.
2) Alert the authorities. If you suspect that someone has broken in, or is trying to break in, call 911 immediately. Do not investigate strange noises or try to handle the situation yourself. Even if you think you're strong enough to defeat a burglar, do not play the hero. 911 is your lifeline in a situation that could turn violent in seconds. If you have door or window alarms, activate them if it is safe for you to do so.
3) If you must confront an attacker, be ready. If you can get to your pepper spray or stun gun, have it out and ready to use. If not, find anything close to you that you can use to protect yourself. Always remember, do not approach the burglar- you should only fight back physically if they have seen you and your safety is being threatened.
4) Above all, stay calm. Focus on your breathing to avoid making rash decisions that could seriously harm you. If you have kids, remember that they will be looking towards you for guidance. If you can, gather them together so that you can act as a family. Try to keep your mind clear so that you can look for opportunities to get away or defend yourself.
Statistically, most home invasions happen when you are away during the day, because the thieves have more time to make off with your belongings without the risk of being caught. Still, you must be prepared for the possibility that someone could break in while you're sitting on the couch watching TV, or upstairs sound asleep. It can happen even in the safest neighborhoods.

Aspiring musicians and old-timers alike must consider their safety and security when playing. Though it's no fun to stop jamming to think about these things, it is a necessity. If you're more than an occasional musician, you probably have a fair amount of money invested in musical equipment. This alone poses a bit of a home security challenge. If it's fairly well-known that you are a musician, you can expect that area thieves know about your expensive equipment and instruments.
Always make sure that you have a safe place to keep your musical equipment, whether you use it nightly or don't have the time to play as much as you used to. Consider a specially equipped room in your home with motion detectors, surveillance cameras, and door alarms, especially if you have some high-end gear in there. If a robber was to break into your home, your expensive gear might even be a higher priority target than cash or jewelry.
Those who have musical equipment should be especially careful to record the models and serial numbers of everything they have. In the case of a flood, theft, or other emergency, this can help police track down your equipment or aid in its replacement by your insurance agency. Though every home or business owner should keep an accurate inventory of their most valuable possessions, this is especially true for those with specialized and very expensive equipment, no matter their industry.
While at home, pay attention to the signals you're sending. Consider whether your neighborhood is safe enough to play in your garage late at night. You may be advertising your expensive guitars, or perhaps worse yet, angering a neighbor who may have it in his mind to come after you. Plus, you might be throwing away boxes that are clearly marked with the names of fancy electronic equipment, or leaving your guitars near the open window where you like to play, in full view of passerby.
If gigs have you out late, think about the security challenges this might pose. As a musical professional, you might be playing at bars and clubs into the wee hours of the night. Even those who play at weddings and daytime events are at risk of having their equipment stolen en route to their home or storage space. If you routinely carry musical equipment in your vehicle, make sure you've read vehicle safety tips, especially those that are meant to help you avoid a carjacking or someone trying to break into your car. Take care not to load your car in a dark alley unless you have lots of help around - this is prime time for someone to walk off with an amp or a guitar.
If you do find yourself at lots of late-night gigs, be sure to prepare yourself so that you don't inadvertently wind up in a bar fight. Whether you're a bar patron or the entertainment, always carry pepper spray or similar devices to protect your safety, and of course always follow alcohol safety guidelines, whether playing on stage or enjoying a show.

It may seem shocking, but more than two thirds of all children will get lost at least once during their childhood years. According to one estimate, more than two thousands kids become lost just in the United States. Although most of these children are found in just a few minutes, it is always a possibility that they will never return. After all, we've all seen such cases of child abductions in the news. As a parent, this is one of the most frightening things that you can imagine happening to your kids. How to you keep them safe from a child abduction?
Every parent surely understands the fear that their child will get lost every time they step foot in a public place, whether it's a shopping mall or a grassy park. Even your well-behaved child has the natural curiosity to wander off the second you take your eyes off her. Turning your back to take a phone call, place your lunch order, or wave to a friend is enough time for a child to be lured away. Though you might be panicking at even the thought of this, your little one probably does not even realize the effect wandering off could have on you.
Although most cases of a child's disappearance in a public setting are tired to innocent distractions and wandering kids, news stories constantly remind us that this is not always true. If you are distracted, your lost child could become frightened, injured, or even abducted.
How can you prevent this? From the time your toddlers are old enough to walk, always remind them not to wander. They must also know what to do if they do accidentally lose you in the crowd. Though you've probably told them "don't talk to strangers" a thousand times, in this case talking to the right strangers, such as mall security, can actually reunite them with you faster. Teach your kids how to recognize police officers and store employees in case they need help finding you. They should also know your home address and phone number, in case they become separated for a longer period. These details should be attached in the label of their clothing if they are still too young to memorize them.
Regardless of where you are taking your children or who they are with, never assume that they are safe. In fact, most children who are abducted are taken by family members or acquaintances. Stranger abductions are actually quite rare, though they can happen anywhere, from a rural sidewalk to a crowded street. Kids outdoors without adult supervision are at an especially high risk of being taken.
Protecting your kids from child abduction requires not only the right information, but also the right tools. Consider a child alarm that sounds if your child wanders too far away from you. A personal alarm is another helpful device for keeping your child safe. One press of the alarm button and the loud alarm will sound, summoning the help of nearby adults. Personal alarms even come in child-friendly shapes like panda bears.

Whether you're always out of town for business, or love to spend quality time on vacation, spending a large amount of your time away from home can pose some unique security challenges. It's one thing to prevent a break-in when the home is occupied every night; it's quite another when the house will be vacant for weeks on end. Statistics show that burglars prefer a home that is empty, because they can take their time and don't risk getting caught. Even better if they know you won't be returning for days! That is why it is so important to take the necessary steps to protect your home, even if you're eager to start your weekend or in a rush to make a cross-country meeting.
First, create a list of services that should be started or stopped when you leave. Call to have mail and newspaper delivery stopped while you're gone. One of the oldest tricks used by burglars is to check for a pile of mail in the box or newspapers on the porch, as both indicate that no one has been to the home in some time. It's equally important to have someone mowing your lawn or snowblowing your sidewalks, as neglecting these chores also indicates that no one is home.
Your home actually gives many clues to your activities. Besides looking at the condition of your lawn and the stack of mail, a savvy criminal will also watch your car. If you're gone for an extended period, ask a trusted neighbor to park in your driveway every few nights. A home that never has a car parked in front of it is one that looks empty.
Next, make sure that your home security system is ready to go. Though you should be making use of your alarms every day, if you haven't been, while you're traveling is certainly a good time to start. If your system includes timer-operated lighting, set it before you depart so that the home looks lived-in. If there are motion sensing alarms or other features of your security system, make sure they are turned on before you leave. If a burglar breaks in and there are no alarms blaring, he will feel comfortable spending a great deal of time emptying out your home of anything valuable.
Security systems aren't the only thing that can sound the alarm if something goes awry. When you leave, no matter how frequently you travel, always let trusted people know about it, especially your neighbors. If they see anything suspicious around your home, they will know to report it. If they don't know you are gone, they might assume that everything is okay.
Though home security should be a priority for everyone, it is especially important if you spend a lot of time away from home. Those who travel often need to be particularly careful about the message they are sending to potential burglars, and take the necessary steps to make their vacant home a less attractive target.

New parents about to bring home their bundle of joy surely realize that this time means a lot of change, not only in their lifestyle and routines but also in the home. Besides decorating the nursery to prepare for your little one's arrival, there are some crucial home tasks to prepare your house for the new baby. Though this is certainly a stressful time for you as a soon-to-be parent, these safety considerations must not be overlooked. After all, your baby's safety depends on it!
While not all of these steps must be taken as soon as you bring the baby home, you should at least start thinking about them. It will seem like no time at all before your baby starts crawling and walking all over the house. Here is a checklist for new parents to adjust their home security practices for the new baby:
1) Install baby locks on anything that could hurt your baby. This includes stove locks, door locks, toilet seat locks, and cabinet locks. Some new parents choose to block off the bathrooms and kitchen using baby gates so that they don't have to lock every cabinet.
2) Set up baby gates. Speaking of baby gates, these must also be used at the top and bottom of stairways. They can also be used to block off workrooms or other areas that may be dangerous for a toddler. In addition to baby gates, add extra security to dangerous areas by using motion detectors, swimming pool alarms, and similar home security devices.
3) Purchase covers for outlets and cords. Babies are very curious, and can get into danger in ways that might surprise their parents. Cover all electrical outlets with child-safe covers so that nothing can be poked into the sockets. Make sure that all electrical cords, as well as the cords to window blinds, are out of your baby's reach.
4) Check your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Of course, every household should have these, baby or not, but when you bring a new baby home, you're bringing home someone who is entirely dependent on you to rescue them in an emergency. Such alarms give you as much time as possible to get everyone out safely. It is especially important to have such alarms near the nursery.
5) Use baby monitors. Today, more and more parents are using surveillance cameras rather than traditional baby monitors to monitor their baby's room. These cameras can transmit wirelessly, even to a laptop computer. As your child grows, they can be put to other uses, from watching siblings playing quietly together to keeping an eye on the nanny.
6) Install door and window alarms. Now that you have brought your baby home, you'll probably spend endless nights worrying about their safety. Of course, this doesn't stop once your little one reaches the toddler stage. No matter your child's age, make sure that their bedroom is equipped with door and window alarms. These can alert you to a child who is out of their room in the middle of the night, or to someone trying to get in.
Although baby-proofing is probably one of the least exciting preparations for new parents to make, it is certainly as important as, if not more important than, all of the other steps you'll take to get ready for your new baby.

When it comes to home security, a lot of attention to paid to threats coming from outside the home. While it's certainly important to be aware of the threat posed by burglars and others who may try to break through your home security, it is also crucial to recognize that there are many different threats inside the home that can be far more dangerous than an intruder. Take, for example, the kitchen. You probably spend a fair amount of your time there, but when was the last time you consciously thought about the safety and security of this important area of your home?
The kitchen is one of the places you're most likely to head as soon as you get home from work, either to put away groceries or to start the evening meal. You may even have a table in the kitchen, spending several hours in there each night. Whether you're just putting food in the refrigerator or making a five-course meal, the kitchen can be a dangerous place. Luckily, by following a few general security tips, you can make this room safer for your entire family.
Every kitchen should have a fire extinguisher in an easily accessible location. Think about your own kitchen- do you have a fire extinguisher? Do you know where it is? Have you ever read the instructions on the canister? The biggest danger in a kitchen is the possibility of a fire, but few families are truly prepared for this danger. If a fire occurs in the kitchen, what would you do? Would you go through all of the cabinets searching for the fire extinguisher you think might be there, or will you know right where to go?
Besides fire extinguishers, your kitchen should also be prepared with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, especially if your kitchen has an older stove. Both alarms are essential devices in any home, and can help your family get out alive if a fire or gas leak begins in the kitchen. These devices are required in homes in many cities, and for good reason. Statistics show that fires that begin in homes without smoke alarms are much more likely to result in the serious injury or death of the occupants.
Home safety doesn't just mean having the right tools at your disposal, but also behaving in a way that is less likely to be dangerous. When it comes to the kitchen, this means that young children should never be cooking on their own. Always supervise children in the kitchen, even if they know what they are doing.
Speaking of children, little ones can be in danger in the kitchen even if they aren't cooking. There is a reason why child proofing cabinet locks exist. Your kitchen may need them, depending on the age of your children. Kids can pull heavy items onto their heads or make themselves sick by eating food from the cupboards. There are locks designed for refrigerators as well as kitchen cabinets. Of course, this doesn't negate the need to watch kids closely anytime they are in the kitchen, even if they are just playing at your feet while you cook dinner.

When it comes to keeping your home safe, how can you judge if those you see in the neighborhood are supposed to be there? Whether you have joined a Neighborhood Watch group and are tasked with keeping an eye on the community, or are just trying to watch out for the safety of your own home, it's important to catch suspicious behaviors so that you can report them to the police. It's not just someone spray painting graffiti on a fence or throwing a rock through a window that you have to worry about. Though you may think that you'd immediately be able to tell that something is wrong, this is not always the case. Here are a few ways to spot those who might be trying to blend in as they prepare to break in or commit a crime:
Someone going house to house, ringing door-bells. While there are lots of legitimate reasons to go door to door, there are some burglars who dress up as solicitors or repairmen as a ruse so that they don't look out of place on the porch. If they knock and get no answer, they can assume that the home is unoccupied. If any of the people walking through the neighborhood go to a back or side yard after ringing the doorbell, this is particularly suspect.
Someone hanging around a home you know to be empty. Whether the owners are on vacation or have moved away, make a point to strike up a conversation with anyone who's around the home. Even if they are simply taking care of the home while the owners are away, you should make an effort to notice them. People hanging around an empty house may be a sign of a burglary in progress.
Anyone carrying anything large out of the home. Sure, it's possible that someone has purchased that TV from your neighbor, or that your neighbor is moving. It's also possible that they are stealing the TV. If you see anything valuable being carried away from a home, go see what's going on. This is especially true if it's after dark, because there are fewer legitimate reasons for carrying large items out of the home.
Look for people constantly coming or going from a particular house. Sure, they may just like to invite lots of friends over, but it may be the sign of a drug house or other vice activities. If you see someone who shows strange mental symptoms wandering around the neighborhood, they may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In both situations, it's best to call the police rather than approaching anyone yourself, as they may behave in unpredictable or irrational ways.
With all of the above situations, move cautiously and with common sense. Don't get in the middle of a violent confrontation or a burglary in progress – instead, call 911 and let the police deal with it. If you feel that you must approach them, or that the situation is not that dangerous, carry pepper spray or a stun gun. That way, if it does take a bad turn, you'll be prepared to defend your safety. While there could be a perfectly innocent explanation for any of these potentially suspicious behaviors, it's also possible that you have just stopped a crime in progress or kept one from occurring.

Are you planning to install a pool in your backyard for some summertime fun? If so, there are a few important steps you must consider first. After all, having a body of water in your backyard is potentially dangerous, especially for small children. As the owner of a swimming pool, it is your job to keep it as safe as possible.
In many cities, fences of a certain height or type must surround all swimming pools. You may need to built a special pool enclosure or fence in your entire property. Some cities even place restrictions on the type of gate or lock used, to ensure that no children can get in accidentally. Find out the rules in your area before you begin pool installation; otherwise, you might commit to the pool only to later realize that you must upgrade your property to prevent your swimming pool from becoming a hazard.
Responsible pool owners can, and should, go beyond city rules in making their swimming pool as safe as possible. This begins with the gate. Keep it locked at all time, and install a gate alarm, which will sound if the gate is opened.
The pool itself must also be protected. While this is important if you have kids living at home, it is still necessary if the pool is meant to be enjoyed by adults only. Neighborhood children will quickly learn how to access your pool if you don't take steps to keep them out. Cover the pool with a hard cover during the offseason, while will protect the pool from falling children, not to mention leaves, bugs, and other debris.
A pool alarm is another essential safety feature. If someone does happen to gain access to the pool area, and falls or jumps into the water, this small alarm will alert you to the presence. It simply attaches to the pool sides, and must be disabled before you enter the water. A pool alarm can give you valuable seconds to get the child out of the pool without serious harm. Pool alarms are especially important in neighborhoods with lots of young children around, as they might not know better than to jump into an unattended pool.
If you do have children, or there are kids in the neighborhood, instruct them on pool usage before the pool is installed. Require the kids to ask your permission before entering the water so that you can be sure someone is outside to supervise them.
Even if there aren't kids using the pool routinely, keep flotation devices on hand for family members and guests. If weak swimmers want to enjoy your pool, these will come in handy. If your pool is particularly large or deep, keep lifeguarding floats on hand, just in case. Even strong swimmers who spend a long time in your pool can develop cramps and need assistance.
No matter what type of pool you are installing, above-ground or in-ground, diving or play, you must consider the safety of your family, guests, and neighbors. Making your pool less accessible to uninvited guests, particularly children, and making sure no one can use the pool without you knowing about it will go a long ways towards preventing pool accidents.

Article Title: Don't Fall Victim to Date Rape Drugs

Date rape drugs are drugs that are used to assist in a sexual assault by making the victim unable to fight back. They go by many names, such as Rohypnol, GHB, Ketamine, roofies, special K, and liquid ecstasy, but what's more important than knowing their names is learning how to protect yourself from them. Date rape drugs can be slipped into your drink without you even realizing it, and will make it virtually impossible to protect yourself as the assault is carried out.
When you're out drinking, never leave your drink unattended, even to visit the restroom, or accept a drink from a stranger. Though you might think you'd realize it if your drink was doctored, the most commonly used date rape drugs have no color, smell, or taste. You won't realize you've been drugged until it is too late. Even if you don't think you've given anyone the chance to slip something into your drink, pay attention to anything that seems unusual. Does your drink taste funny? If so, do not drink any more, and ask the bartender for a new drink. Some date rape drugs make a drink taste bitter or off, though other drugs have no flavor.
Do you feel extremely inebriated or disoriented after having only a small amount to drink? If so, stop drinking and go somewhere safe quickly with someone you know and trust. Learn to recognize the symptoms of being drugged with a date rape drug. These include relaxation or sleepiness, lowered heart rate and blood pressure, slurred speech, dizziness, and nausea. Some date rape drugs also interfere with memory retention, so that the victim has no memory of the assault.
Protecting yourself from such situations requires enlisting the help of friends and family. Arrange for a designated driver if you plan to drink, and always head out with a friend rather than by yourself. Before you leave, tell someone where you'll going and when you'll be back. Otherwise, it is possible that no one will realize something bad has happened to you if you don't come home on time.
Carry the right tools to keep yourself out of a dangerous situation. Of course, never leave home without your cell phone, which you can use to call a designated driver, a friend, or 911. It's also a great idea to carry pepper spray, a stun gun, a personal alarm, or a similar self defense device. There are mini styles designed to be carried in even the smallest handbag, and these devices are absolutely crucial if you find yourself in danger. Although date rape drugs can inhibit your ability to defend yourself, these tools are indispensable in a wide variety of dangerous situations.
Far too many people, both women and men, think that "it can't happen to me" when it comes to date rape drugs. The fact is, over a third of all women will fall victim to sexual assault during their lifetime, in addition to increasing numbers of men. The use of date rape drugs has gone up significantly over the last decade, though keeping your eyes open for any signs of trouble can go a long ways towards keeping you safe from such dangers.

Article Title: The Effects of Forgetting to Prioritize Home Security

What's the worst that can happen if your home is broken into? Maybe a broken front window and a few missing electronics, right? Wrong! The consequences of forgetting to make home security your top priority can affect every aspect of your daily life. Even if the financial loss is not devastating, a home invasion can be absolutely devastating emotionally. If you don't worry too much about your belongings, you may also be forgetting to consider the feelings and emotions that go along with a home invasion.
Though the initial loss is financial, many victims of home intrusions report that the after-effects last long after their belongings have been replaced. This is true even if you are not home when the burglary occurs, but it is especially truthful if you are there to witness the break-in. Experiencing this traumatic event, a worst-case scenario, can take years to get over. It may even lead to anxiety, insomnia, or panic attacks. Of course, the effects are even worse if the home invasion is coupled with an assault in addition to the burglary.
Even if you are not home when the attack occurs, this invasion of privacy and space can lead to a feeling of insecurity or even paranoia. In fact, victims may never feel safe in the home again. Many victims of burglaries or home invasions feel forced out of the neighborhood, and move away within a year or two of the break-in. Though moving may eventually make them feel safer, it also comes with additional costs in terms of time and money. Those that do stay in the home may suffer sleepless nights as they lay awake listening to any noise that could mean a burglar is near.
Besides the loss of belongings, the emotional damage, and the potential physical effects of confronting a burglar, having your home broken into also creates a headache that will last for months if not years. You may have to deal with the police, your insurance company, and your bank in order to file a report, get your belongings replaced, and watch out for identity theft. Having your home broken into may also serve as an eye opener, prompting you to secure your house and add home security features. In any case, the aftermath of a break-in is never as simple as just going shopping to replace your missing belongings.
The world is scary enough for those who have never fallen victim to a crime. The consequences of becoming a victim in your own home can be devastating. The best way to avoid these far-reaching effects is to make home security a priority today. Far too many families put this off or never really think of the potential consequences. Most people think of their home as the safest place they can be. However, all they do to protect themselves while inside is lock the front door. Instead of leaving yourself essentially unguarded, take the necessary steps to improve your home security. While this may seem like overkill now, you'll certainly be glad you have it if the alarms ever go off in the night.

Those who want to protect their teenagers from the violent modern world often wonder what tools they can provide their teens. What are some of the things you can do as a parent? Set a curfew, and give your teen a cell phone so that they can call you if they need a ride home or feel they are in danger. Of course, from a young age your children should also be cautioned against everyday dangers such as talking to strangers. It is the responsibility of the parents to protect their children. In addition to the various tips you can give them about dealing with potentially dangerous situations, should you prepare them with a can of pepper spray or a personal alarm?
Concerned parents may decide that their teens are old enough to be trusted with the responsibility of these devices. Before giving your child pepper spray or a stun gun, always check your state and local laws. Though most states allow adults over 18 to carry such products, it is becoming increasingly common for the law to allow teens to carry them as well. Many parents opt to give their teens and even younger children a personal alarm as a non-violent and legal way to defend themselves.
Personal alarms also make a sensible choice when sending your teens to school. Most schools have a "zero tolerance" weapons policy, which means that you teens can't even bring most self-defense products, such as pepper spray, to school with them. While schools can't take away your child's right to self defense, they can take away your child's right to carry any weapon, whether a knife or gun or canister of pepper spray. While a no-weapons policy makes sense for schools, it also prevents your children from being able to defend themselves against a crime using non-lethal self defense products . However, if your children are being bullied or you feel that the school isn't doing enough to ensure their safety, you may want to give them something to defend themselves with. A personal alarm is acceptable for in-school use, and will alert nearby adults such as teachers to a dangerous or violent situation.
If you do decide to provide your teens with such devices for after-school use, ensure that they are trained in their use and know when such products should be used. Self defense products are not toys, and should never be used unless your teen finds himself in a potentially dangerous situation.
Another way to help your teens defend themselves if they are ever attacked is to enroll them in self defense or martial arts classes. These lessons can give them the tools they need to defend themselves. Most martial arts classes also teach students about appropriate use of force, so parents need not worry about siblings using these lessons against each other.
While you probably don't like the idea of your teens needing to defend themselves, the fact is, in today's world even children are not immune to crime. Your teens could be assaulted at the mall, at school, or walking home from the bus stop. In addition to the classic danger of kidnappings, they may also be subjected to assault, bullying, or a whole range of other troubles, and this is true even if your kids are "good kids." Violence can happen to anyone at any time, and it is your responsibility to make your teens aware of the types of situations they should avoid, and what to do if they do encounter danger.

Parenting a teenager is a turbulent time in most households. As your child grows into an adult, they yearn for independence while you proceed with the desire to keep them safe and on the right track. Teenagers might think that they know it all, but they are still learning and growing. As the parent of a teen, you'll need to proceed with patience and caution. This is especially true when it comes to home security – one of the battles of raising a teen that is certainly worth fighting.
At some point, you will probably decide that your teen is responsible enough to be left home alone overnight so that you can embark on a weekend getaway. You need to make sure that your teenager can take care of your home while you're away. This doesn't just mean forbidding parties and reminding your son or daughter to feed the pets while you're gone. One of the crucial, yet often overlooked, instructions is with regards to home security. Does your teen know how to set the home security alarm? Will they remember to do so before going to bed? Be sure to stress the importance of keeping the home safe, not only before you leave for the weekend, but also as a part of everyday life.
If you are worried about a party while you're away, take the necessary steps to prevent it. In addition to the typical lecture before you leave, install a home surveillance camera. Hidden cameras allow you to watch activities in the living room without your teen knowing you can see. On the other hand, an obvious camera lets them know they're being watched, which also has its advantages. Some of these cameras even transmit information wirelessly, so that you can check in via a laptop in realtime, even while you're away for the weekend. Let your teenager know that you'll be checking in occasionally, and will know if everything isn't quiet. This might discourage them from partying while you're away.
Make sure that you have outlined the rules with your teenager, covering everything from parties and having friends over to what chores need to be done while you're gone. Don't forget about rules for cooking, watching TV, and other activities that you're usually there to monitor. Keeping your teen safe means giving them the guidance to make good decisions even when you're not there. Though it's important for your teen not to think that you're lecturing, these important safety and security rules should not be overlooked in your haste to leave.
Teens' maturity levels can vary widely. Some teens will throw a party the second their parents leave, while others will be nervous to spend the night in the quiet and empty house. To make sure that your teen is safe while home alone at night, in addition to advising them about your home security systems, consider giving them a canister of pepper spray or another non-lethal self defense device to help them feel safe at night when you're not there to protect them.

Even when you do the best you can in the home security department, the unfortunate reality is that no home is complete immune to crime. Perhaps you have come home to find a window smashed, or your front door is hanging wide open when you're sure you locked it before you left. Such circumstances are frightening and distressing. Whether your natural reaction is fear or anger, you'll probably feel like making a move immediately. Still, it's important to be making the right moves to avoid putting your family in more danger. Here is how to deal with a home security crisis:
1) Assess immediate danger. If you're not sure if there is a burglar inside your home, but have reason to believe that someone has broken in, do not enter your home for any reason. You might feel like scaring them away or coming at them in anger, but you do not know if they are armed. Brazen thieves may be waiting inside, and you might add physical injury to your list of problems. Even if it looks like someone ransacked your home and left, they could still be hiding inside.
2) Move in a group. Regardless of the assessed danger level, always move together, rather than splitting up. Though you might be more likely to be spotted by a criminal if there are several of you rather than one person, there is safety in numbers and you're less likely to be involved in a violent confrontation with a burglar if there are other people with you. If any family member is carrying pepper spray, a stun gun, or any other self defense device, now is the time to get ready to use it.
3) Go to a safe spot. Leave the immediate area if the criminal may still be there. You don't want them to spot you on their way out. Go to a neighbor's house, or get back in your car, lock the doors, and drive down the street. Though you may feel like you need to stay close to keep an eye on what's going on, it's far more important to get your family out of harm's way. Then, call 911 from your safe spot. Do not do anything until you're sure your family is not in immediate danger.
4) Get police to your home. Once you know it's safe to do so, call 911 to request police assistance. Even if you're sure that the burglars are long gone, the police can take down a report and start their investigation. The quicker the police get to your home, the faster they can start looking for getaway cars and contacting pawn shops and other likely recipients of stolen goods.
5) Begin the damage assessment. Once police have cleared you to return to your home, start assessing the damages and compiling a list of stolen belongings. This list is important both for the police and for your homeowners or renter's insurance. If you have surveillance cameras, get the footage right away, especially if your system routinely tapes over old data.
Returning home to a home security threat is certainly a scary situation, no matter the circumstances. If you find yourself in such a crisis, the most important rule is to avoid an altercation with any criminal who may still be inside, and to maintain a safe distance until after the police have arrived.

Article Title: Formulate a Home Emergency Plan in 6 Steps

Every family should have an emergency plan. After all, you have home insurance, health insurance, and car insurance, but do you have a plan for what you would do in a major catastrophe? With terrorism and natural disasters in the news almost every day, now is the time to think about what your family would do in the event that you find yourselves in a major emergency.
Far too many families rely on emergency services to come to their rescue. You can't expect to be provided with immediate food, shelter, and medical attention in the aftermath of any large-scale disaster. Roads, utilities, and communication services may be down, and it is possible that help won't arrive for days. According to survival experts, households should have enough supplies to survive at least a week with no outside help. Though this seems like a lofty goal at first, it is actually not that hard to implement with careful planning.
In addition to the usual emergency supplies and stock of nonperishable food, your family also needs a plan of action. Where will you go in the aftermath of an emergency? What if you're not all at home when it happens? Here are the 6 most critical steps to take when making your emergency and disaster plan:
1. Call a family meeting. All of the family members should be involved in the creation of your emergency plan. Yes, even your kids! Including kids in the planning process makes it more likely that they will remember what to do in an emergency.
2. Keep the plan simple. You may feel more comfortable planning out every detail, but chances are good that in an emergency situation your brain will be in panic mode and you'll forget most of it. Instead, focus on a few main points such as what must be done as you exit, and where you should go. Your emergency plan should be adaptable for a variety of emergencies, from a fire in the kitchen to a major natural disaster.
3. Memorize important information. It is critical for all family members to know what phone numbers to call, including 911 as well as the cell phone numbers of all relatives, including a few relatives that don't live in the home in case you get separated from each other and must leave the area.
4. Choose a meeting place. It is important for your meeting location to be safely away from the home. For example, choose to meet a the neighbor's house, or at a park down the street. Don't meet right out the front door, as it may not be safe to do so. In the event of an emergency, all family members should stay at the meeting place until you've all been accounted for.
5. Have an out-of-town plan. In addition to your local meeting spot, choose somewhere further away from the home, such as a relative who lives several miles away or even out of state, in case the entire neighborhood must be evacuated. Make sure that you all have the phone number to this location memorized so that you can find each other if you are separated.
6. Practice escape drills. This step is especially important if you have kids in the home, as you'll need everyone's help to get the family out safety. Become comfortable with the plan you've made so that you don't forget it in a time of panic. Everyone must know all of the escapes from the home. This can also help you spot potential problems such as the need for a fire escape ladder for upstairs windows. At least twice per year, practice your drill to keep the information fresh in your mind. This step can also remind you to update your plan, if needed, to account for household changes.

Moving away to college is a huge step, and one that is often nerve-wracking both for parents and students. When the time comes to choose a college, you'll be looking at plenty of numbers, from GPA and SAT scores to the number of students attending the school. Although the crime rate might not be at the top of your mind when you're deciding which school to attend, maybe it should be. After all, you'll be living there for four years, and you should feel safe doing so.
For nearly two decades, the US Department of Education has collected crime statistics from more than 6,000 colleges and universities nationwide. This annual report covers campus security policies and crime statistics related to the crimes happening on college campuses. This information is available through the Department of Education website and in published reports, where you can see data for any particular school, as well as combined data for all schools. For example, these statistics show that one in five women will become the victim of a sexual assault during her four years spent on campus. Overall, the staggering number of crimes committed on campus underscores the need for paying attention to campus safety.
The statistics gathered for each school include the rates of selected crimes, ranging from assault to vandalism, committed on the school campus each year. As you might expect, schools with the highest crime rates are those in large cities that themselves are known for high crime rates. Statistically, the safest colleges are located in smaller towns that have lower crime rates.
Schools keep statistics for crimes that happen on the campus itself, as well as in areas bordering the university property. The crime statistics shown in this report are broken down by offense, including major crimes such as homicide, sex offenses, hate crimes, robbery, and assault. The crime statistics also show "incidents" such as liquor law violations, drug possession, or weapons possession, which may result in disciplinary action on campus rather than an arrest by the police. In addition to the overall crime rate at the school, these statistics also show to what extent alcohol may be a problem on the campus, as the statistics show alcohol-related offenses such as DUI and minors in possession of alcohol.
So, what can you do with all of these campus crime statistics? Do they actually mean anything? You may be wondering if the time spent reading the crime report can actually make you or your son or daughter safer on the college campus. If you are concerned about safety on campus, certainly take into account the crime statistics when researching potential colleges.
However, it's also important to use your own common sense and prepare for the potential of crime. After all, as the statistics show, no college campus is 100% safe- and no city or town is, either. If you fall victim to a crime, you won't be comforted by statistics about how low the crime rate is. While college is an exciting time, it's also time to think about your safety. Carry non-lethal self defense products, such as a canister of pepper spray or a personal alarm, so that you can protect yourself and avoid becoming part of these statistics.

Article Title: Think About Your Home's Security For When the Kids Go Back to School

As children across the nation prepare to head back to school, now is a critical time to review your family's home security plan. Whether your children are beginning preschool, are now allowed to come home alone after school, or have graduated and left the nest, a new school year means families must adjust to new security challenges to keep their children and their home safe from harm.
For many families, the new school year means new privileges for their children, and this might include coming home to an empty house after school. If your kids will be entering the home while the security alarm is set, they will need to know how to disarm and reset the alarm. Your children should also know what to do in case of an emergency, from a stranger knocking on the door to an earthquake or fire. "Latch key" kids must be prepared to handle anything that might come up in your absence. Leaving your children home alone, even for just a few minutes in the early afternoon, is nerve-wracking for every parent, but there are steps you can take to ensure your child's safety when you're not there.
If your kids do return to an empty home, consider investing in a hidden camera, or "nanny cam." Today, many surveillance cameras transmit information wirelessly, allowing you to watch over your kids from your computer at work.
Even if your child does not come home alone every day, you may be considering hiding a spare key somewhere outside just in case you're not home after school. A word of caution about typical hiding places: these are the first places a burglar will look when trying to break in! Never hide your key under a flower pot or welcome mat. Instead, purchase a hide-a-key designed to blend in with the surroundings. Whether you hide your house key inside a fake rock or a thermometer-shaped key hider, it will be much safer than in one of the usual hiding spaces.
The 'back to school' time of year is also a great reminder to check some of your basic security features. Make sure all doors and windows securely lock, and replace the batteries on smoke alarms. Unless everything is in working order, your family cannot be fully protected.
Children can also be protected with keychain personal alarms, useful not only when they are home alone but also when walking to and from the bus stop or school, as well as anywhere else they might be in public. With recent headlines about children being abducted while walking home from school, you can never be too cautious, no matter how short the walk may be. Child-friendly personal alarms, shaped like panda bears and other animals, give your child an easy way to alert nearby adults to a scary situation.
Back to School can mean a lot of anxiety for parents, especially when the family is making a big transition. Whether you're sending your child off to school for the first time, or they are coming home to an extra house, this time of year serves as an extra reminder to be cautious about protecting the safety of your family and your home.

Moving out of your parents' house is an exciting time. Those in their 20's often find themselves going to college, looking for roommates, and maybe even moving a few states away. If you're in your twenties, it probably feels like you're having to worry more about adult topics as part of your daily life. While you dreamed of moving to the big city and finding a job and an apartment, it's actually a lot scarier than you thought it would be at first.
Whether you are still renting an apartment, or have purchased your first house or condo, it's important not to let your security slip away as you're busy making day-to-day decisions. For people in their twenties, life often seems to move rather quickly. There are romances to cultivate, jobs to apply for, and parties to attend. How do you manage all of that and still stay on top of security?
If you're like most twenty-somethings, you occasionally find yourself out alone after dark. Whether you're male or female, it's important to have ways to protect yourself from potential threats. Though you may feel invincible, do yourself a favor and carry pepper spray or a stun gun in your pocket. If you ever need it, you'll be glad to have it. Your life may even depend on it.
Since you're now 21, you're probably enjoying your newfound freedom of drinking. Though you've probably heard this advice once or twice before, it is crucial that you don't overdo it. Not only can this damage your health, but it also puts you at risk of finding yourself in a vulnerable situation without the power to defend yourself. Always take a friend with you, and let someone know where you're going and when you plan to be back.
Typically one of the first steps of adulthood is finding your own place to live. While most twenty-somethings dream of living on their own, the reality is that most move in with roommates. While you probably look for roommates amongst your friends and want someone you'll get along with, it's just as important to consider your security when moving in with someone. Can you trust them not to let anyone strange into the home? Do they have friends or significant others who you distrust? Are they likely to leave the door unlocked when they leave at night or bring strangers home after a night at the bar or a party? It's important to discuss your security concerns with potential roommates to make sure you're both on the same page before moving in together.
While a lot of attention gets placed on date rape and other modern threats, it's equally important to focus on the security of your home to protect it from threats such as a burglary. Though this might seem like a tedious task, make sure that your living space is protected by security alarms and other devices designed to keep burglars out.
If you have recently bought your own home, rest assured, home security doesn't have to take up a lot of your time. Between the yard work and the household chores, you may be wondering how you'll fit in the time to beef up your home security. In reality, adding outdoor lighting, a few dummy cameras, and security alarms on the doors and windows shouldn't take more than an afternoon. While it may not feel like something you want to spend time on, the truth is that spending a little time worrying about your security now can make a big difference in the future.

Are you worried about your kids and cyber bullying? If not, you should be, especially with the recent news about bullying that ends in tragedy. It is certainly frightening to think about your child being cyber-bullied without you even finding out about it. Millions of teens and children nationwide have been affected by cyber bullying, including one in three elementary school students.
First, you must know what cyberbullying is. This can sometimes be difficult for parents to understand, especially if they don't spend a lot of time online themselves. Cyberbullying is the use of internet resources such as email or instant messaging to taunt, ridicule, or harrass someone. Though cyber bullying does not include physical violence, it is often a sign that physical bullying is occuring or is likely to occur. Luckily, there are steps parents can take to protect their children from this threat, or to deal with it if it is happening.
First, pay attention to your children and their internet usage. Pay attention to moody or out of character behavior, as it could indicate a range of teenage and preteen problems, including bullying. Talk regularly with your child about the online activities in which they are participating. If your child mentions something about an uncomfortable internet encounter, listen to what they say, and advise them about how to proceed. If you do learn about possible cyber bullying, do not prompt your child to respond to it, but do not delete the evidence.
Limit internet usage, especially for young children. Know where your children are going online, and block the "chatting" ability of younger kids. Insist on knowing your kids' internet account passwords, including access to email and sites like MySpace or Facebook. Keep the computer in a public area of the home, rather than in a bedroom, so that you can monitor internet usage. You don't have to stand over their shoulder constantly, but you should have an awareness of what your kids are doing on the computer.
Besides knowing what they're doing online, also know who they're doing it with. Many kids like to chat with other kids they know from school or the neighborhood. However, it's also possible for them to connect with kids they don't know in person, or even adults. It's also important to realize that those online may use a false identity, such as an adult pretending to be a child around the same age as your own kids. If your child is being bullied by someone anonymous, save all of the evidence, as it is still possible to track down the perpetrator even if they think they have left no tracks.
Just because it's happening online doesn't make it a less serious problem than physical bullying. Take it seriously, and help your child find a solution to it. Don't be afraid to get help from the school or the police if you feel that it is necessary. Cyber bullying can lead to physical bullying or violence, and it has even been known to result in the suicide of the victim. The internet is rapidly becoming a major risk for kids. Today, more and more children are becoming the victims of cyber bullying as their online time increases. It is your responsibility as a parent to be sure that your child is not getting harassed online.

Article Title: How Will a Burglar Evaluate Your Home?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Today, there is a lot of discussion about how to tell if your home security system would actually keep out a burglar. After all, how do you know, unless a burglar has actually tried to get inside? Many homeowners are trying a new tactic of evaluating their home like a criminal might. While you'll never be able to fully explore your home through the mind of a burglar, you can at least imagine how you would go about robbing your own house. Combined with home burglary statistics from across the country, this technique will give you some valuable feedback about how effective your home security plans will be.
First, approach your home from the front, as a stranger coming up the driveway. After all, this is the way most burglars will begin to evaluate your home. In fact, about half of all burglaries happen through the front door. If your door is unlocked, or the key is hidden under a flower pot or doormat, you're essentially inviting these criminals inside your home. The most secure front door combines a sturdy door and lock with outdoor lighting, security alarms, and surveillance cameras.
Burglaries also happen from the back or side doors, and these should not be overlooked. By strengthening the defenses around your front door, you might be prompting potential burglars to check out other potential entry points. Make sure that burglars don't find an easy entrance through an unlocked door or window, or one that's poorly lit and shielded by overgrown bushes.
Now, try to determine if anyone is home. Most burglars prefer a home that is unoccupied; this is why most burglars enter a home during the daytime, while the residents are at work, rather than at night, when they are in bed. Does it look like someone is home? Even when you're on a long summer vacation, make an effort to make your home appear lived-in. Use a dog bark alarm, stop the newspaper and mail delivery, and hire someone to mow the lawn. Light and TV timers can also confuse burglars about your whereabouts.
Is there any way for the burglar to know that you have a home alarm installed? These alarms don't just function to alert you to someone breaking in. They can also stop criminals from breaking in in the first place, but only if they know the doors and windows are alarmed. Even if you don't have a security system, you can purchase signs to place in the window and in your yard telling passerby that an alarm monitoring company is watching over your home. These signs are one of the most effective aspects of a home security alarm system.
Finally, try to get into your car. If you park on the street or in your driveway, are the doors to your vehicle securely locked? Are all windows, including the sunroof, closed? If you park in your garage, investigate how easy it might be to break in. Many homes' weakest link when it comes to security is actually the garage door, as homeowners forget that their garage often contains valuable possessions and links directly to the main house. Can you enter the garage without much of a barrier and without an alarm sounding? If so, expect that any criminal who is interested will quickly learn this about your home.

Article Title: Is a Dome Camera Right For You

Anyone who has spent much time in the aisles of a department store will surely recognize the standard dome camera. This ceiling-mounted surveillance camera can move 360 degrees, tilting, panning, and zooming to provide a comprehensive view of the area. "Dome cameras" themselves are not actually shaped like a dome, but are so named because they are housed in a rounded plastic bubble, which makes it impossible for those in the store to see where the lens is looking at a given time.
The dome camera is one of the most popular security camera styles in use today. Using dome cameras for surveillance is commonplace in retail stores and other public businesses, and also has many applications outside of this environment. If you're looking for round-the-clock surveillance for your home, for example, you might want to consider a dome camera.
While many dome cameras are designed for commercial applications, there are also many other styles that are appropriate for home use. Those on a budget, whether homeowners or business owners, may opt for a dummy dome camera. This device takes advantage of the dome camera's style to trick passerby into believing that there is a camera watching them, when in reality it is the opaque dome with no cameras or electronics inside. This option looks just like the real thing, but does not transmit a recording and is less expensive than installing a real dome camera. Because dome cameras operate on the idea that if potential criminals can't see where the camera is pointed, they will avoid the area, it makes no difference whether the camera inside is pointed towards them or there isn't even a real camera there at all.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon to find dummy or real dome cameras mounted in a wide array of environments. In addition to their traditional uses inside shopping malls, large stores, government buildings, banks, hospitals, and other public places, dome cameras may also be seen mounted on nearly any other flat surface, for example to watch activities in your backyard. The dome camera can be installed on the ceiling or on a wall. Some models even offer different dome color options to better blend in with the surroundings. While most dome cameras are hard-wired into the building, today more and more surveillance systems can be accessed wirelessly.
If you are purchasing a dome camera, consider its use and where it will be installed before choosing a camera. Dome cameras have a wide variety of ranges and styles; make sure that the camera you choose has a wide enough range to see activities in the surrounding areas. Compare pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities to find a camera capable of covering all angles. These features may be abbreviated as PTZ. A stationery dome camera may be a good choice for those looking to protect a relatively small area with a small budget, while those that can rotate and zoom are better for covering larger spaces. Installation should be planned carefully to ensure that the camera offers the views you need.
There are styles designed for use during the day, such as most retail surveillance cameras, in addition to cameras with infrared or night vision for more specialized uses. Look for one with a sturdy case that will withstand the efforts of vandals. A secure covering is particularly important when the camera is to be installed outdoors, where it may be subjected to the elements.

Did you know that a burglary happens every 15 seconds somewhere in the United States? No matter where you live, your home is not immune to crime. Every household should have security alarms, outdoor lighting, and other basic security features. However, there are some areas where security measures are even more important.
It is an unfortunate reality that some neighborhoods are looked at as "high-crime areas." This very idea often leads to more crime, as criminals are drawn in by this designation. If you are living in an area that you don't consider to be 100% safe, you should be particularly proactive about your home security measures.
In addition to particular neighborhoods or areas of nearly every large city in the world, some entire cities are known to have high crime rates. Homeowners in the cities of Memphis, Baltimore, Miami, and Detroit should be particularly cautious, as each year these cities remain high on the Forbes list of "Top Ten Most Dangerous Cities in the US" While home security should be at the front of your mind no matter where your family lives, it is especially important to be vigilant about home security if you live in one of these cities.
Crime rates around the country are on the rise. In many cases, crime rates are tied to the economy; in the current recession, it's no surprise that crime rates are rising. Personal and property crimes are rising in many cities. Even if you have not lost your job or otherwise been personally impacted by the recession, you can be affected by rising crime rates as a result of the economy. Unfortunately, more and more neighborhoods across the country seem to be falling into the designation of "high crime areas," making it more important now than ever to protect the security of your home and your family.
What can you do if this is your family's reality? Even if you live in a high-crime area, you can choose to fight back and to gain control of your community. Do something today to make your area safer for the next generation, not to mention your own family. Start a Neighborhood Watch program. This system has been proven effective for lowering crime rates in residential neighborhoods. It is a commitment between neighbors to keep an eye on those coming and going, and to report suspicious or criminal behavior to the police.
When the recession causes increased crime rates, many of these additional crimes are property crimes. If you're worried about such crimes, take steps to protect your belongings. Don't leave your car unlocked or your valuables in plain sight, either in your car or in your home. At home, store small valuables in disguised safes so that they won't be taken if you do fall victim to a burglary. Don't walk around at night with expensive jewelry, clothing, or electronics. In short, be aware of what you're advertising about your possessions.
Within your own home, always follow appropriate security precautions. Lock all doors and windows, and secure them with home alarms. These are some of the most effective ways to keep burglars out without having to resort to metal bars across the windows. For high-crime areas, consider additional home security features such as motion-detecting alarms, as well as personal protection devices such as pepper spray or a stun gun.

Article Title: First Line of Defense Should Be Your Yard

When it comes to home security, your yard is your first line of defense. Though many burglars do come in through the front door, it is believed that about half come in through some other entrance, typically a door or window on the side or back of the home. In most cases, burglaries are crimes of opportunity. If your home does not look welcoming to a burglar, he will likely pass it on in favor of a less protected house. Therefore, the more effort you take to make your yard unwelcoming to criminals, the safer you will be.
Designing your yard to thwart home invasion attempts doesn't have to mean making it uninviting for those who are actually invited to enjoy your yard with you. It just means paying attention to how your landscaping could be improved, and how simple devices can dramatically affect the security of your home.
The first layer of home security is the landscaping of your yard, but this is one of the factors most overlooked by those looking to improve their home security. Burglars like to break in with privacy. Their ideal target is a home with tall trees or shrubs shielding side windows from being viewed from the street or from your neighbor's house. Trim your shrubbery, or consider replacing it with thorned varieties such as roses. Prune trees so that they cannot be used as a ladder to the second story, and move trellises away from the walls of your home. Install outdoor lighting so that burglars can't use the cover of darkness to their advantage.
It's even better for burglars if a home has a fence installed on that side of the yard. Even though a fence might make you feel more secure, it also makes burglars feel more secure breaking in, so this risk must be weighed against the benefits of fence installation. Outdoor lighting can mitigate some of these drawbacks, with the added benefit of helping you to enjoy your backyard after dark.
Besides your landscaping choices, your lawncare routines also provide helpful clues to burglars. An unkempt lawn signals that the homeowners have been away for some time. If you don't have the time to mow your lawn or are going on vacation, hire a lawncare service to handle this important task.
Another important tool that many homeowners inadvertently provide burglars is the means to break into the home. Do you use landscaping stones that are large enough to break a window? Do you leave crowbars, ladders, or other tools in a shed in the backyard? Lock up these tools when they're not in use so that they can't be used against you.
Finally, did you know that the signage around your home can have a significant impact on your safety? For starters, make sure your house numbers can be seen easily from the street so that police and emergency services can find you quickly. This may require replacing your current numbers with large, reflective house numbers, or trimming plants that are obscuring your current sign. Also, place security system signs in your yard or on doors and windows within view of the street. Even if you don't actually have an alarm system in place (though you should), signs that are purportedly from a security company will make burglars avoid your home in favor of a less protected target.

Article Title: How to Be Safe When Taking on New Employees?

If you run a small business and have decided it's time to hire your first employees, this is a time filled with many decisions. Your first foray into the business of being an employer is fraught with plenty of red tape. Not only will you have to figure out taxes and employment laws, but you'll also need to take the right steps to ensure that you hire a trustworthy employee. Doing so has important implications not only for the success of your business, but also for the safety and security of your business as well as yourself.
An important part of being a diligent business owner is thoroughly checking the background of everyone you are considering hiring. Though calling references is time-consuming, and having an official background check conducted can be expensive, both are crucial parts of the hiring process. It's much better to pay the money now than to find out that your new employee was fired for stealing from their previous job. While you might feel that it's unnecessary to dig into potential employees' history in this way, today it is simply par for the course, and something every responsible employer should do in the course of business. Otherwise, hiring someone you don't know very well is a risky proposition, and could easily compromise your security. Even if you think that you're a good judge of character, an interview won't necessarily be enough to tell you everything you need to know about potential employees.
Once you have decided that you have someone you'd like to hire, it is still important to remain vigilant about the security of your business. Decide whether the employee will need a key of their own; do not simply hand out keys to everyone who works with you, or you'll end up having no idea who has access to the store. If an employee quits on less than positive terms, you should always change the lock, lest they or their friends return with an eye towards revenge.
Don't forget that you can always take advantage of a trial period, to see how things work with the new employee before making a long-term commitment to hiring them. This is a particularly wise strategy for those who operate a family-owned business and are now considering hiring their first outside employee. During this period of time, don't give away too much information, such as the code to the security alarm system. In fact, most employers with experience advise not to give any new employee a key to the business during this time either.
If your new employee will be in charge of the business while you're not there, consider installing security cameras. There are even hidden cameras that allow you to watch the activities inside your business without the employees knowing they are being watched. This can be a crucial method to detect employees who are simply not doing their jobs, or worse yet, stealing from your business. Of course, cameras are also important for catching thefts and other crimes committed by anyone else on your property.
Hiring someone for your business is a big step, and one that should not be done too hastily. New employers should thoroughly check the backgrounds of those they are considering hiring, and be particularly cautious when giving new hires access to secure information.

Article Title: How to Protect Your Decks and Patios?

As the weather grows warmer, families move outdoors to their decks and patios. While such features certainly add an enjoyable element to the outdoors of your home, there is a downside. Decks and patios can create security vulnerabilities around your home. These are far too often overlooked by homeowners who focus on enjoying their backyard, rather than protecting it from home invasions and other security threats.
Doors leading from a patio or deck into the home are some of the most vulnerable entry points from the point of view of a burglar. Burglars don't just come through the front door; they often come around the back or side of a home to find the easiest entrance. If there's a way in, burglars will find it, especially if it's a glaring security weakness such as a large, unlocked glass door leading onto a dark patio shielded from view by passerby.
Often made of large panes of glass, these doors are often left wide open, especially during summer weather. They commonly have easily broken glass or flimsy locks. To reduce this threat, install a sturdier lock and glass break detectors, and put a bar in the door track to prevent it from being forced open.
Unlike the front door, back doors and patio doors do not often have adequate outdoor lighting. It's a good idea to install patio lights, not only to prevent your friends and family from slipping or falling in the dark, but also to keep away burglars and other criminals. Lighting is a key aspect of any home security plan, as no burglar wants to break in if they can be spotted doing it.
If your backyard can be accessed from the street, consider limiting access to the deck or patio. If you can't fence the entire yard, consider a fence or railing with a gate around the patio or deck. Don't forget about a simple alarm on this gate so that you know when someone's entering the area.
When considering the safety of your deck and patio, don't overlook the rest of the yard. Often, those with a deck or patio also have a swimming pool or a tool shed. A swimming pool is certainly a lot of fun, but it also presents a very real danger. Even if your yard is fenced, install a swimming pool alarm for peace of mind. This alarm will sound if anyone jumps or falls into the pool, and it is a crucial home security device for anyone who has a pool in the yard. A tool shed, meanwhile, presents a different danger. A resourceful criminal may raid the shed for potential tools for breaking into your home, or may simply make off with those expensive lawn tools. Lock these tools up in your garage or install a lock, alarm, and adequate lighting on the backyard shed.
While backyard features such as these may look nice, and provide you with many hours of summer enjoyment, they are a would-be burglar's dream. Patios and decks present some unique security vulnerabilities, but they don't have to. Enhancing your backyard security is relatively easy using simple and effective security devices such as locks, alarms, and fencing.
