The best way to prevent a child from drowning is to be vigilant. But can you be vigilant 100% of the time? Last year more than 300 children in the U.S. under the age of 5 drowned in backyard swimming pools. Six-hundred more between the ages of 6 and 14 also died due to accidental drowning. There are times when even the best parents take their eyes off their children for a minute or two. At any moment, without any warning, a tragedy can occur. Most pool accidents happen in less than five minutes; about the time it takes to grab a sandwich or a cold bottle of soda. But there are tips and tools that can help reduce water mishaps and promote pool safety. Pool safety alarms are one item that every pool owner should
have. The added protection they provide could keep your children from becoming another statistic.
The Pool Alarm is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. It's portable, self-contained, and lightweight. The unit is simple to operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the pool alarm's electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm at the unit and inside your house from the remote receiver.
Installation of the pool alarm is easy. It sits on the pool deck as in the picture. After you install the alarm, it can't be deactivated. It is always in the alarm ready mode until you put it in sleep mode. If someone who does not know how to put the pool alarm in sleep mode attempts to remove the alarm, it will sound an alarm. The pool alarm comes with a remote receiver which can be mounted in your house up to 200 feet from the main unit. It also comes with a 12 volt power supply, and the unit itself uses one 9-volt battery, which should last approximately one year.
Installing a pool alarm is only one safety measure, though, when it comes to safe-guarding your children around the backyard pool. You need to be aware of the other nationally recognized water safety steps to ensure your children, or any child who enters your pool area, is protected as much as possible. Review these tips below and learn them. Don't let your child become another statistic. Practice pool safety.
Step 1. For starters, never allow children to swim without adult supervision, even if they know how to swim. And always keep children under five within your reach while at the pool.
Step 2. Enclose the pool with a fence that is at least five feet high. Keep the fence clear of chairs or other objects that children can use to climb over the fence. Make sure the gate stays locked and closes automatically.
Step 3. Always keep a life saving ring near the pool. Don't use inflatable swimming aids as a substitute for adult supervision or approved life vests. They give children and parents a false sense of security.
Step 4. When you are at the pool, be sure to keep a cell phone or a home phone line with you. You would never want to have to leave the pool area to use the phone. In the short amount of time that you are gone, a child can get injured or drown.
Step 5. Install pool security devices like infrared motion detectors, underwater wave sensors, and pool alarms that will alert you if someone is in the pool.
Step 6. When you're not using it, keep the pool completely covered. Never partially open the pool cover.
Step 7. Finally, take the time to learn CPR. Utilizing these guidelines will help you keep your pool a fun, safe area.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.
NBCF's mission is to help women now by providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education and support services.
Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women in the United States. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
According to The National Cancer Institute (NCI), getting a high-quality mammogram and having a clinical breast exam on a regular basis are the most effective ways to detect breast cancer early. The National Cancer Institute recommends women age 40 and older receive annual mammogram screenings to provide early detection of breast cancer.
SHOP PINK AND RAISE MONEY FOR THE CURE
Get Ready to Go Pink!
Now that October has begun, Nikki Reed, Paul McDonald, Elizabeth Hurley, and more celebrities are stepping out to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month at events like Bloomingdale's 2014 Pink Party in Manhattan on Thursday, Oct. 2.
These celebs may be helping by spreading the word to their huge fan bases, but there is an easy and stylish way that you can help, too - by Shopping Pink!
The Covert Eye, the home of Streetwise Security, is proud to contribute toward the fight against breast cancer. Beginning in the spring of 2012, we designated several products as part of our Pink Ribbon series.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these products goes to fight breast cancer. This seemed an appropriate cause to donate to, not only because we care about women (indeed, our products help protect women), but because breast cancer has struck close to home among neighbors and friends this past year.
By contributing to the fight against breast cancer we are helping to protect women (wives, mothers, daughters). It's just one more way we are fulfilling our goal of protecting what matters most.

Every semester of every year you can read hundreds of reports where a woman was physically assaulted on campus. While colleges and universities have tried to step up security patrols, especially at night, reports of attacks and attempted rape continue to persist. While there are precautions a woman can take to lessen the chances of becoming a victim, one of the best weapons she can have at her disposal when confronted in a threatening situation is a shot of pepper spray. A less than $20, the MACE Keyguard Pepper Spray is compact, convenient, and has a key ring that easily attaches to your house, dorm room, car, and other keys you carry. Be alert, be cautious, and be prepared.

One of the most dangerous places for children is the backyard swimming pool. Do not consider putting in a pool until they are at least six years or older, if possible. Make sure you practice pool safety year-round. Pool and spa submersions and drowning happen quickly, especially when they involve children. A child can drown in the time it takes to answer a telephone. Learn the simple steps you need to know to keep your children and family safe in and around pools and spas. One of the most effective means of safety is having constant adult supervision when children are in, or near the pool. It also means installing the first measure of safety in the form of a pool alarm.
The pool alarm is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. It's portable, self-contained, and lightweight. More than 900 children between 1 and 14 years old die each year in drowning accidents. In California, drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children between 1 and 4. A pool alarm is your first line of defense, and can be the difference between life and death.
Here are some other tips as set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics to help safe-guard your children from accidental drowning this summer.
· Never leave your children alone in or near the pool, even for a moment. An adult who knows CPR should actively supervise children at all times.
· Practice touch supervision with children younger than 5 years. This means that the adult is within an arm's length of the child at all times.
· You must put up a fence to separate your house from the pool. Most young children who drown in pools wander out of the house and fall into
the pool. Install a fence at least 4 feet high around all 4 sides of the pool. This fence will completely separate the pool from the house and play
area of the yard. Use gates that self-close and self-latch, with latches higher than your children's reach.
· Keep rescue equipment (such as a shepherd's hook or life preserver) and a telephone by the pool.
· Do not use air-filled “swimming aids” as a substitute for approved life vests.
· Remove all toys from the pool after use so children aren't tempted to reach for them.
· After the children are done swimming, secure the pool so they can't get back into it.
· A power safety cover that meets the standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) may add to the protection of your children but should not be used in place of the fence between your house and the pool. Even fencing around your pool and using a power safety cover will not prevent all drowning.
Remember, teaching your child how to swim DOES NOT mean your child is safe in water.

American homes are victims of burglary about every 15 seconds, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The typical homeowner suffers a loss of nearly $2,000 in stolen goods or property damage.
"With the national economy getting worse, burglary is again becoming a more common crime," said Charles Sczuroski, a former police officer and now senior trainer for the National Crime Prevention Council.
If you have a high deductible on your homeowners insurance policy, you'll likely have to pay out of pocket to replace your stuff. But for a small investment, you can make your home less appealing to burglars in the first place.
9 Ways To Protect Your Home From Burglary
1. Prune your shrubs. Bushes, shrubs and trees can offer an intruder places to hide and camouflage signs of a break-in. Trim back any overgrown vegetation so that your home's windows, porches and doors are visible to neighbors and passersby. This doesn't cost but a few hours of your time, yet it can make a difference in making your property much less attractive to a burglar.
2. Draw the blinds. Use shades, drapes and other window treatments to keep potentially tempting household items out of view. Burglary is sometimes a crime of opportunity and "window-shopping" is one way criminals choose potential targets.
3. Don't advertise new purchases. Be sure not to draw undue attention to your home by discarding empty boxes at the curb with your trash -- a big problem during the holidays. By putting out boxes from a new flat-screen television, video game system, a laptop computer or other expensive home electronics at the curb, you're showing a potential burglar exactly what new and valuable items are now available in your home.
4. Get motion sensors. Adequate nighttime illumination is critical, because a dark or poorly lit property makes it easier for a burglar to go about unseen. The best deterrent for crime and therefore safety for your home and family is to install motion-sensing security. Motion-sensing security lights are ... activated when motion is detected and the sudden change from darkness to the bright light will not only startle intruders, but also provide a visual alert to the homeowner and neighbors.
5. Set timers indoors. Many insurance companies recommend using timers that are hooked up to indoor lights, as well as radios or televisions. Setting a timer to switch on about 30 to 45 minutes before it gets dark makes it appear more like someone is really at home, and combined with a radio or TV activating during the day and evening, that impression can be even more convincing. Burglars generally don't want to be confronted by anyone in a home. They basically want to slip in and out unseen. If they hear sounds of activity, they'll generally move on.
Timers can run from about $5 to $40, depending on their sophistication. A basic plug-in unit can turn a light on and off once or twice a day, whereas a wired digital outlet switch can switch lights on at any number of set or random times.
6. Reinforce entry points. Sixty percent of all burglaries take place at ground floor doors and windows, so it makes sense to "harden" these entry points. All entry doors should be solid wood or steel-wrapped wood-core doors. Hollow-core doors or rickety old wood-panel doors can be kicked in easily and don't offer much of a deterrent. New solid (slab) doors cost around $100. Installation, of course, will cost extra. However, an experienced home handyman can tackle the job with the help of instructions.
7. Shield windows near doors. For existing doors with windows, safety experts recommend installing a protective barrier of quarter-inch Plexiglas over any existing glass. Attached properly, it can prevent the burglar from breaking the window and either opening the door's lock from the inside or getting into the house through the opening.
8. Install deadbolts. A deadbolt should be installed on every exterior entry door, and the bolt should have a throw of at least one inch. Insurance companies and locksmiths recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 American National Standards Institute deadbolt locks on exterior entryways. The two main types of deadbolts are single and double cylinder locks. A single cylinder deadbolt, about $35, has a keyed opening on one side and a knob that can be turned by hand on the other. A double cylinder deadbolt lock, about $45, is keyed on both sides.
A double cylinder locks should be used on a door with a glass section or one located near a window. If the glass is broken and someone tries to reach in to open the door, they won't be able to.
Consult local building codes before buying new double cylinder deadbolt locks, though. Some communities don't allow their use due to safety concerns: They can impede a speedy exit from a home in case of fire. And when upgrading any entry door lockset, make sure that the strike plate is properly secured with strong 3-inch screws into the home's structural framing (studs).
9. Use Common Sense. But the best form of protection is to simply lock all your doors and windows whenever you leave your home. It's amazing how many people don't do that, and yet it's the simplest and best thing anyone can do.
At this time of year the warm weather finds most of us outside, or in the backyard pool, or getting ready for that summer vacation. An open garage door, and unlocked door or open window, or newspapers piled up on the porch are all invitations to would-be intruders. Take a moment to safe-guard your home and valuable possessions this weekend. A theft can happen in less than 60 seconds.

Mention the words “hidden camera” or “spy cameras” to ten different people and you'll likely receive ten different thoughts and opinions. For many, it might mean a nanny cam for home to keep an eye on their kids while at work as well as to observe the behavior of a babysitter or nanny. For others, it can mean collecting proof of a family member pilfering money out of a wallet or desk drawer. A wife or husband may utilize a concealed camera to help confirm a suspicion their spouse could be fooling around on them. Employers often utilize covert monitoring in order to watch over their employees, while a number of employees will place a spy camera on their desktop or work space to safe guard possessions against theft by the nightly cleaning crew. There are as many good reasons why people use a hidden camera as there are in the variety of cleverly disguised spy cameras to choose from.
The usage of video is everywhere these days. What was once associated only with spies and covert operatives employed by the government, now can easily be found in several digital camera stores and bought by everyday consumers. Today, hidden video cameras can be found in stores and retail shops, commercial offices, factories, airports, train stations, and on almost every street corner in the city. In fact, it is virtually impossible not to be recorded somewhere in the course of a normal day, especially if you live in or near a metropolitan area.
Here are a few other popular or unusual purposes for covert spy cameras.
We've practically all seen law enforcement shows on television where a meeting room is bugged with hidden audio and video surveillance equipment to gather evidence for a sting operation, or where an officer is wired when going undercover. Likewise, investigative journalists may use a spy camera to be able to document proof regarding a scam artist, or in health violations taking place in the kitchen of a restaurant or food packing plant, or perhaps in a article relating to animal cruelty. Many companies may use video recording as an effective training tool for their workers, especially with regard to their sales staff when practicing their presentations to clients. Other companies utilize hidden cameras when launching new products and services to the market and want to obtain a sampling of consumer response. This could be a taste test between Pepsi and Coke, or the release of a new and improved corn chip by Frito Lay.
An increasing number of employees today are resorting to spy camera recorders in the work place to document proof of verbal and physical discrimination. Sadly, sexual harassment towards women in the workplace continues to rise, while the laws protecting us from all forms of discrimination and harassment continues to be watered down by the courts. HR departments are usually caught in the middle of these claims, and without documented proof to support assertions of age, race, or sexual harassment, HR will always side with the company to avoid getting into legal entanglements. This is where a hidden camera can supply the evidence you need. With the occurrence recorded on video and audio, your proof now becomes irrefutable.
Last, but certainly not least, is the need to document eldercare abuse. The abuse of our elderly is significantly more prevalent today than a generation ago. A newly released government investigation showed that 60% of all nursing homes in this country experience some kind of elder abuse. Often these victims are immobile, may suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's, and have a difficult time in verbalizing their abuse. If you're a family member caring for an elderly parent or grandparent in a nursing facility, a hidden camera might be the only way to document that your loved one is being properly cared for and attended to.
The thing that makes these cameras so effective is that they can be hidden in everyday products found in your home or place of work. In fact, they're so common most people don't glance twice at them, or would ever suppose there's a video camera found inside. Hidden spy cameras may be found in wall clocks, AM/FM digital clock radios, picture frames, room deodorizers, tissue containers, coat hooks, table lamps, desktop calculators, flower pots, smoke alarms, fountain pens, and stuffed teddy bears. There is virtually no object that can't be transformed to a hidden spy camera for home or work.
There is also a big selection of body worn covert cameras, such as spy watches, Bluetooth cameras, spy pen camera, and camera glasses. These, and hundreds of other widely used hidden cameras have become more simpler to use than ever due to the fact the DVR is built in. In discarding the necessity for wires and wireless receivers, these basic cameras can record the video and sound onto themselves using a normal SD card. With up to 32GB of memory, they will furnish you with several hours of recording time. Another aspect that's generally found is a motion detection setting, thus extending the recording time even further by only activating the camera to come on when movement is detected. When you're ready to see the video, you can just simply connect the camera to your pc with the supplied USB cable, or remove the SD card and place it straight into the computer or SD card reader.

Pet Safety
A pet is part of your family, so why not protect you and your pet when you go out for walks at night. Flashlights are so you can see the path or trail ahead of you, and a Pet Blinkie is so you can easily see your pet… and, more importantly, for others to see him too! This is especially important should your pet wander too close to the highway, where drivers may not see your pet in time from their headlights alone. You need to remember that you and your pet are unexpected objects at night. A tool this compact and useful has to be there when you need it, and the Pet Blinkie is visible up to half a mile away and will blink continuously for 3 days on one set of batteries. Its compact size easily attaches to your pet’s collar or leash and is entirely waterproof. Vibrant, multi-colored lights come in 7 colors.
