			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Homeland securitization has been given so much importance over the past few years that we have almost forgotten the importance of our own house and the importance of a good home security alarm. While burglary in your property may not make the headlines, it is in your best interest to safeguard property by installing a good home security alarm.</p>
<p>According to the US bureau of Justice Statistics there were 14 million incidents of theft on property and in 83% incidents the burglars had entered the house or building located in the property. You might feel safe by locking your doors and windows but there are ways to enter a house known only to people who commit burglary for living. Burglars always strike by surprise; to underestimate their resourcefulness would be a mistake you would not want to make at any cost.</p>
<p>There are many types of home security alarm, which can help you effectively protect a property, belongings and more importantly your family from burglars. Home security alarm is one of the more trusted methods to protect your house from burglars; a simple home security alarm generally makes a loud sound or dials a number like 911, your cell phone or a neighbor and sends a pre recorded distress message. Some systems connect themselves with the smoke alarms which notify the fire department immediately. Then there is also the monitored house securitizing systems which are considered the safest of all and the local systems which are considered safer than monitored property securitizing systems, yet cheaper.</p>
<p>Many securitizing systems come with a sign board that can be mounted on the door, mailbox or anywhere else where they can be noticed. Burglars generally target un-protected houses and leave alone the houses protected by any type of home security alarm. As for starters, the cheapest home security alarm is the &#8220;do it yourself&#8221; systems, you need to do all the installation and setup yourself, but if you are on a budget these are the right ones for you. A home security alarm not only helps in preventing burglary but it also helps in minimizing the loss in case the burglars break into a house because they fear a backup or the sound which might alert the neighbors or the police.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Personal preparedness means different things depending on who you are and what your situation is.  To an inhabitant of the Florida Keys, preparedness means having items to outlast a hurricane.  To a city dweller, preparedness might be having a can of mace in her purse.  To a survivalist, preparedness might mean having a semi trailer loaded with M14 rifles buried in the back yard.  Depending on the situation, any of these definitions might be appropriate.</p>
<p>Personal preparedness is simply knowing what dangers are likely to befall you and taking reasonable precautions to avoid or survive them.  In today&#8217;s modern world, insurance is a required item.  No one laughs at a car owner that buys a full coverage policy for his or her car.  As a matter of fact, a driver that fails to insure their car is looked upon as irresponsible, sometimes even criminal.  The same thing can be said about homeowner&#8217;s or renter&#8217;s insurance, life insurance, and health insurance.  Today people take out money for retirement in the form of IRA&#8217;s, 401K&#8217;s, mutual funds and the like.  No one faults them.  Why is it then that someone who has a pantry of stored food, candles, a rifle or two, and ammunition for them is considered crazy or dangerous?  Isn&#8217;t it a logical extension of the doctrine of insurance?  After all insurance is merely a device to lessen the extent a disaster has on your life.  If having an extra insurance policy for break-ins is smart, then the idea of someone breaking into your home is possible.  If it is likely that someone might break into your home, then having a means to protect yourself is justified.</p>
<p>Each year natural disasters occur in the United States.  When these occur, the news media rushes to the scene.  It never fails that they show a relief organization van at the disaster site.  Usually there is an interview with someone who is standing in line looking for help.  The site is common; a desperate parent with a hungry child waiting for someone to give them some milk for their infant.  Ratings soar and people feel sorry for this poor child.  Consider this, areas prone to natural disaster are known.  Floods happen on a regular basis.  Places like Tornado Alley have been recognized and named.  If the choice is made to live in an area like this and the basic precautions are not taken, then pity is not the logical emotion.  Irresponsibility on the part of the parent caused the child&#8217;s pain; it only takes a few extra seconds to grab a couple extra bottles of formula.  Why didn&#8217;t they take this simple precaution?  They probably paid the cable bill.  Does that expense outweigh the measly cost of a gallon of bottled water?</p>
<p>Organizations like the American Red Cross and the Office of Homeland Security suggest that each family have a few days of essential items to get them through an emergency.  Doing this is not hard nor does it have to be expensive.  No one says that preparedness means having a years supply of freeze dried steak in a concrete storage bunker.  Simply buying a can or two of extra food every time you go shopping is enough.  Buy an extra box of garbage bags, some extra toilet tissue, or any item you have to have.  Store it in a box under the bed, or in the closet.  In hardly any time at all, you will soon have a store pile that will give you not only an added measure of security, but also a sense of well-being.  Rotate this stock out.  As you eat a box of macaroni, buy another.  Forget that you have four boxes on your kitchen shelf.  This causes you not to feel over burdened financially to support your prepared lifestyle.  It also keeps your store fresh.  An added benefit is that your safety net is familiar to you.  In the stressful time of disaster, you don&#8217;t have the added stressor of eating unfamiliar foods chosen not by your appetite, but by their shelf life.</p>
<p>It is easy to lecture on what items are needed.  Lists of essential items depend on lifestyle and location as much as physical needs.  It would be irresponsible to dictate what equipment your family would need to survive without knowing you or your situation.  You must sit down and decide what are your family&#8217;s priorities, and from that list correlate your family&#8217;s needs.</p>
<p>It is not important what others say or think of you.  It is not even recommended to tell your neighbors you find the need to be prepared for life.  Does it matter if they think you are crazy for stocking up added groceries?  Will it matter if your children or spouse suffer because you want to keep the good graces of the people 2 doors down?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Serving fun and festive Halloween cocktails is so simple. It&#8217;s all about the spooky details that you can add to any cocktail recipe. Here&#8217;s a list of ways you can make any Halloween cocktail extra creepy. These gory garnishes are sure to delight your <a href="http://celebrations.com/halloween-party-ideas">Halloween party</a> guests.
<div></div>
<div>Did you know you could purchase gory candy cockroaches and bugs? You can! Hook them on cocktail glasses or drop them inside drinks.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Make radish &#8220;eyeballs.&#8221; For each, you&#8217;ll need one radish and a pimento-stuffed olive. Peel the radish using a peeler but live a few red squiggles to resemble an eyeball. then, using a toothpick (you might have to cut it in half, depending on the size of the radish), attach a slice of the pimento-stuffed olive to the radish to resemble the retina and iris. These are eerily lifelike and will have your cocktail consumers intrigued.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>Chocolate Tarantula Martinis</div>
<div></div>
<div>Ingredients:</div>
<div></div>
<div> * 1 oz. vodka</div>
<div> * 2 oz. Godiva Chocolate liqueur</div>
<div> * 1 oz. crme de cacao</div>
<div> * Melted chocolate chips for glass rim</div>
<div> * Candy tarantulas</div>
<div></div>
<div>Prep:</div>
<div></div>
<div>Melt the choco chips in a microwave-safe dish. Dip the rim of each of the Martini glasses in the melted chocolate. Add all of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into the chocolate-rimmed Martini glasses. Top with a candy tarantula and serve.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Strong passwords are your first step in securing your systems. If a password can be easily guessed or compromised using a simple dictionary attack, your systems will be vulnerable to hackers, worms, Trojans, and viruses.</p>
<p>Trojan, virus, and worm authors have had great success attacking systems with weak and/or default passwords. Take IRC/Flood Trojan for example. McAfee&#8217;s virus profile states that IRC/Flood has over 120 variants and has infected over 60,000 machines in the last 30 days. IRC/Flood succeeds by checking for 22 different different easy to guess admin passwords (variants vary). Unfortunately, there are a lot more where IRC/Flood came from, W32/Tzet.worm, W32/Random.worm, and W32.HLLW.Gaobot.gen are in the wild just to name three.</p>
<p>Hackers also have no problem compromising systems with weak passwords. Programs like L0pthCrack for example make the process simple and efficient. Creating a password-cracking dictionary is not even a challenge. Type the words &#8220;Creating Password Cracking Dictionaries&#8221;, without the quotes, in to your favorite search engine. A comprehensive dictionary can be downloaded or created from scratch in short order.</p>
<p>Below is a list of commonly used weak passwords that should NEVER be used. If any of these passwords look hauntingly familiar and are being used, you need to change the password immediately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many things in life that are worth protecting. Our children, our valuables, our resources and of course, ourselves. Only twenty years ago, if security was mentioned, you were speaking of protecting your home. And you were most likely discussing a security system, monitoring, watchdogs, firearms and cameras.</p>
<p>With the explosion of the personal computer, and the internet&#8217;s ease of access to information, security has now taken on additional roles. With over 605 million people online at any given moment worldwide, criminals are no longer bound by geographic location. Today&#8217;s cyber criminal can hack from the comfort of his home just by getting online.</p>
<p>There are software programs that do nothing but scan the internet for un-secure ports and open networks so that they can enter into those unprotected machines to access critical information. There are many users who know little about internet security and rely on their ISP to provide it for them.</p>
<p>To look deeper into this topic, let&#8217;s examine the qualities that make security both similar and different. With your home, you have a physical area that you can protect with fire and motion sensors, cameras, glass-break detectors and decals strategically placed to deter would-be thieves. For your computer, you protect a virtual space usually containing sensitive information relevant to your personal finances or key identity theft items such as family names and social security numbers. To protect these resources, one must install software (anti-virus, port scanners, Trojan hunting software, firewalls) as one level of protection. You can also add another layer of security through a hardware firewall of connectivity to and from the internet or network.</p>
<p>Both home security and computer security have maintenance costs associated with them. Reliable home security will usually consist of a one-time fee to install the hardware in your home, and then an agreement to have 24-hour monitoring service for a given length of time. Computer security will consist of buying the software and then either a monthly or yearly subscription fee to receive the latest information and protection from internet threats.</p>
<p>One difference between the two are the methods of monitoring. While computer security is only responsive while the computer is active or online, home security monitoring is responsive at all times provided the system is properly armed.</p>
<p>Another distinction is the method of response. In home security, a human will respond by dispatching police, fire or EMS directly to your home or business site. On a computer, the response is when the software vendor becomes aware of the problem, creates a solution, and has an update available for download.</p>
<p>With the advances of technology, monthly fees for home security monitoring are reasonable for the service they provide. Be warned: not all monitoring companies have the same capabilities when it comes to quick response. That&#8217;s one reason why it&#8217;s a good idea to make sure that any security company you choose has a UL certification. This can be critical as it indicates that the security company has met stringent standards for management system compliance (such as a back up source of power). The same methodology should apply for a security software provider. Just because they say they&#8217;re the best, doesn&#8217;t mean that they are. Due diligence is the user&#8217;s responsibility. Your information is too valuable to be taken lightly.</p>
<p>Both home security and cyber security are similar to having insurance. You have it, but you hope you never need it. And if you do need it, you want a company or vendor that has a history of excellent customer service.</p>
<p>There are those people who think that having a firearm is all they need for protection. While that may hold true in some form, a firearm won&#8217;t let you know if someone is trying to enter your home through the back door while you are sleeping and notify you or the authorities. Another common perception is that a watchdog will alert a homeowner to intrusion, but again, man&#8217;s best friend sleeps 10 to 12 hours a day and can&#8217;t notify the police.</p>
<p>There are some computer users who claim that they can detect a virus by the email that is sent with some obvious taglines meant for the user to open and infect the machine. Not all viruses are in emails, although that is the most common form. They can also be uploaded to a website, or embedded in Java Applets or Active X controls.</p>
<p>Trojans, which can log all of the users keystrokes and sites visited, are secretly downloaded in the form of free games or free software, and are undetectable by anti-virus software. This is the preferred method of attack by a hacker on a machine. By not altering the performance of a machine (like a virus or worm does), the user blissfully continues to use their machine to make online purchases, and enter sensitive information, thinking they are secure, while the Trojan secretly records all of the information and will simply send all of the user&#8217;s information at designated intervals to the hacker.</p>
<p>Many times a decision about security measures for your home or computer is based on budgetary constraints. But always consider what it is that you are protecting and how much you would pay to get back whatever was stolen, lost or destroyed if an unfortunate event occurred in your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1) Security Consultant&#8217;s Perspective&#8230;</p>
<p>Regardless of your type of business, size or location, the threat of workplace violence and terrorism is all around us these days. It could involve you, your employees and your business at any time. Protective Measures seem a bit of theatrics yet failure to be vigilant or to exercise due diligence could result in a disaster or a civil suit. I believe protecting the workforce is a never-ending task of vigilance, awareness and training. Protecting the Mail Rooms and educating your workforce is all part of the workplace security process. All employees should be given a security awareness briefing on the topic of handling suspicious pieces of mail, the need to protect the Mail Room from unauthorized personnel and general Mail Room security measures.</p>
<p>2) The Mail Room Threat&#8230;</p>
<p>The handling and processing of incoming mail today remains a businesses weakest point. Incoming mail is not routinely isolated as a matter or protective measures, delivery personnel are not being restricted from building access, employees may or may not know what to look for and what to do when handling suspicious packages or letters, there are no control points controlling access by all, and letters and packages to senior officers are not given extra precautionary attention. It is unlikely most mailroom employees are cleared, are familiar with basic security procedures or that they have been trained in Mail Room Security Procedures. The potential nightmare remains the lack of security awareness, the recognition of suspicious mail; what to look for and what to do.</p>
<p>3) Recommendations&#8230;</p>
<p>Supervisors and managers should insure that some form of security awareness is incorporated into the day-to-day operations. All employees should at a minimum know the basic mail handling security measures. It does not take much time to impart information to a group of employees using the &#8220;Stand-up Talk&#8221;, a technique used by the Postal Service to provide information to a large group of employees without disrupting the operations. Normally the &#8220;Stand-up Talk&#8221; lasts between 15 - 20 minutes. The &#8220;Stand-up Talks are quite an effective method of communications in this way.</p>
<p>4) What to do in case of a suspicious piece of mail&#8230;?</p>
<p>This area requires paying attention to details and discipline. If you notice a suspicious letter or package during routine mail handling or if you&#8217;ve received a piece of suspicious mail, take the following steps: don&#8217;t handle it, evacuate the premises but, certainly the area around the piece and do follow your security plan by notifying supervisor and the appropriate emergency service personnel listed in the security plan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that nothing can stop the rise and rise of VoIP. Driven by increasingly widely available low cost broadband Voice over IP has become one of the fastest-growing applications on the World Wide Web. But apart from cheap calls, there are other factors which have contributed to this hugely popular way of making calls. There is clearly a trend toward more innovative and more mobile services and this looks likely to ensure that demand for Internet telephony  continues to expand. It is estimated that there are already around four million <a href="http://www.voipmadeeasy.co.uk/voip_basics/how_voip_works.php">VoIP</a> users in the UK, excluding business subscriptions.<br />
Key figures in the industry point to the proliferation of ADSL broadband connections that do not require line rental for a conventional phone line (naked ADSL), and number portability between conventional and IP phone services as the two key developments that will bring elevate the profile of VoIP to new levels. </p>
<p>In fact the effect VoIP has had has been so profound that some have suggested that it may not be long before users can dispose of their traditional landline telephones completely in favour of a broadband phone.</p>
<p>Taking a more pragmatic view, there are issues that will need to be addressed before that can happen. In the UK VoIP providers like Vonage or VoIPTalk will have to review both security and ease of use, as well as continue to deliver a convenient and financially viable service. They certainly offer cheap calls already but, what else do they need to do to ensure a bright future for VoIP?<br />
As the Internet is a vast public network the VoIP traffic is no more immune from attack than any other data. Security is an issue for many users, particularly in the business community and the means to develop security for users would be a welcome step in securing the long-term future of VoIP.</p>
<p>The ease of use issue may not remain an obstacle to development now that handsets that work on mobile networks and, via WiFi or Bluetooth links, over VoIP are now appearing in the shops. This raises the prospect of using low-cost VoIP services at home, in the office or at a WiFi hotspot, but still retaining the flexibility of mobile coverage when out and about.</p>
<p>Some VoIP companies are now selling these handsets, and have set up joint arrangements with wireless hotspots so that their customers can make and receive calls on the go without the need for a PC.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s likely that some of the restrictions of such handsets i.e. difficulties in hotspots that use web pages for authentication to be addressed imminently. </p>
<p>The advance of newer networking technologies will further minimise the distance between fixed, mobile and VoIP services. Wireless broadband services, in particular WiMax, could create city-wide wireless hotspots, making it possible to make mobile VoIP calls in much wider areas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When making use of telephone bugs, it can be very frustrating to be constantly checking, only to find that you missed a call. You have a busy life. Other things to do, other clients to work for, a life to live; you can&#8217;t just be sitting there trying to play hit and miss with telephone bugs. This is where the new generation of bugs comes in. It is possible to use a bug that will actually call you when a phone call is made. That way you need not miss a conversation that you cannot afford to miss.</p>
<p>Traditional bugs require that you listen to the transmissions or call in to see if a call is being placed. Additionally, some telephone bugs only allowed you to hear one end of the conversation. Neither of these things is very savory, nor do the provide help to you as you frantically try to listen in at just the right time. Additionally, many transmitters run the risk of being found as they transmit the signal out. With telephone bugs that call you, you can listen to both ends of the conversation, and receive notification when a call is placed or received by your subject.</p>
<p>The first telephone bugs that work in this manner are bugs that look like cell phones. You plug them in to share the same line as the regular phone, and they look like they were forgotten or like they are charging. These phones can be programmed to silently ring your preferred number whenever the home phone goes off. And it is set up so that when you pick up to listen in, you are listening as if you were on another phone in the house (just like mom and dad did when you called home from college). You hear both ends, and neither party is the wiser.</p>
<p>Other telephone bugs that can be programmed to call you are more high tech cell phones. You give the phone to the subject (or have your client do so) and then you wait. These phones work like regular cell phones. The person talks normally and receives calls normally. But every time he or she uses the phone (place or receive) the phone dials you and lets you know.</p>
<p>No matter which product you choose, you don&#8217;t have to miss a call when you are called by your telephone bugs.</p>
