How To Protect Your Home

How To Protect Your Home

Everybody worries about the security of their homes and families. The question is: how can you make your home secure without turning it into Fort Knox? The sad fact is that, if someone is resolute to get into your home, they can and will. Ten years ago, my home was ‘secure’, but I was tricked into opening the door and I let my attackers in. No home security system can safeguard against situation like that. Burglars look for homes that look vulnerable. Most burglars are opportunistic. In other words, if they see an open door or window or if it is obvious that no one is at home and if there is no noticeable security, then it is worth them trying to get in. Open gates are also an incitement. So are valuable possessions put on show in windows. It only takes minutes to steal something,...

The Stages Of Home Security

The Stages Of Home Security

People have always tried to protect themselves and their families, just like most animals do. In very early days, cavemen protected their caves by setting fires outside the opening to discourage interlopers and wild animals. Later on, man learned how to augment his security by training dogs to safeguard him and his family. Later still, houses and then doors were invented; bars and locks arrived soon after that. However, until a few decades ago in the west, people lived in extended large families. A family could consist of six-to-ten children and the mother and the grandmother would often live there too. This made home security systems extraneous from the early 18th Century to the 1930′s, which were quite peaceful times. After the Second World War, families were not so large and new families...

The History Of Chocolate

The History Of Chocolate

The Theobroma Cacao or ‘the food of the Gods’ is what we all know as the cocoa tree. It’s origin can be traced back to South America’s rain forests, particularly to Central America, although historians are still debating over certain facts with regard to this tree. It is proposed that the Mayans first cultivated the cacao tree in 300 AD, although others point to flimsy evidence that it was grown or at least harvested in around 3,000 BC. The Aztecs also used the cacao, but from about 1100 AD. The chocolate (drink) that we all know today was called ‘xocoatl’. It was a very special beverage that was made out of cacao, chilies, anise seed, vanilla, corn meal and some other spices. It is said that only royalty were permitted to drink it and then only from golden...

What Is A Healthy Gift Basket?

These days, everyone is very aware of the benefits of eating properly and the consequences of excess. This is one of the reasons why a healthy gift basket is a fantastic idea for a present. Going ‘healthy’ does not mean that the gift basket cannot be fun, personal and beautiful. If your loved one likes nuts, then buy nuts, but unsalted ones in their shells. You see? It only takes a little lateral thinking. Children may appear to be hard to please on the topic of healthy gift baskets, because children love candy and sugar, but there are many healthy snacks, which have a little less sugar. For example, jam-filled biscuits contain sugar, but they also contain fruit. The same goes for oatmeal raisin cookies. Toss in a few energy bars from the health food shop made from grains, fruit,...

Electric Bug Killer

Electric Bug Killer

The hand held bug killer is the best way of clearing your immediate vicinity of insects, especially the flying ones like mosquitoes. The indoor bug killer evaporates any insect from a mosquito to a gnat instantly on contact with a pleasingly loud, electrical ‘zap’! However, this does not mean to say that the hand held insect killer cannot be used outdoors, so long as it is not raining. It should be handled just like any other high voltage electrical item. Keep the hand held insect killer dry and please do not use it when you are standing in the pool! Models vary greatly, but there are basically only two types of hand held insect zapper: the battery operated bug zapper and the rechargeable electric bug zapper. Both are equally effective at killing bugs and work on the same principle. The...
