People all over the world are increasingly getting concerned about risks of daily living. There is increasing awareness about personal safety and safety of family. One of the many risks, apart from terrorist threats, people are more concerned about is the wide spread of criminal acts. There is not a single day which passes without people falling victim to criminal acts. Rape, murder and theft are commonplace, forcing people to think of self defence since law enforcing police force proves inadequate to control these crimes.

Self defence was the basic need of mankind in the past and now it has become more essential in the prevailing scenario. Different generations have been developing martial arts and self defence weapons for protection from animals, criminals and antisocial elements. The need for protection has led to invention of less-lethal but quite effective self defence products and personal safety devices, such as taser guns, stun guns, police batons, pepper spray and rubber ammunition. The advantage in using these personal safety devices is they don’t kill but disable attacker long enough and provide time to victim for safety.

A taser gun is an excellent self-defence weapon that works by firing two electrodes towards attacker using compressed nitrogen. These electrodes are sharp and barbed and pierce easily in clothing and skin, but cannot be removed easily once implanted. Taser gun sends electric charge into the target with the help of fine conductive wires. The target gets disabled due to powerful electric charge that overloads nerves and disables voluntary muscle control. However taser guns don’t cause permanent damage to nerves. Taser guns that form part of police training equipment have longer range and are equally effective like civilian taser guns.

Although taser guns are quite effective, stun guns are more popular weapon for self-defence. A stun gun, designed for close range can be held in hand. Stun guns are electroshock self defence product that has firing range shorter than taser guns, but with distinct provision of firing for more than once.

Stun guns work on rechargeable batteries and are bar-shaped like electric razors, with two exposed electrodes at one end. Activated electrodes are made to touch target’s body causing pain due to severe involuntary contraction of muscles on account of electric current. This helps to startle and discourage opponent from further assault. Fearsome crackling sound produced by stun guns serves as deterrent. This self defence safety product is commonly used by women to thwart any robbery or rape attempt.

Taser guns and stun guns can be easily carried in a jacket pocket or a small bag and are very effective ready to use personal safety devices.

Police batons are one of several self-defence products used by police force. Police batons are either collapsible or expandable. The first police baton was called ‘billy club’ and its inclusion as police training equipment led to evolution of variety of police batons. The most popular police baton is the telescopic steel baton. It has replaced all types of other police batons in the police force and law enforcement agencies.

Expandable batons have a solid tip attached to inner-most shaft’s outer end which lends more power and forceful strike with the baton.

A collapsible police baton is normally carried in extended position by the police force. By just extending a baton, police can intimidate many and deescalate violent situations. These batons are equally useful as civilian self defence equipment.

While it might initially seem surprising, right now it is extremely difficult to open certain cars. Robert Campbell, a locksmith who owns Advantage Locksmith in New York City, says high-end foreign cars have advanced relocking devices. For example, he says that on certain BMWs, once you get car open with tools, the relocker will go off almost immediately and the car will lock again. So instead, you either have to reach in really quickly or have an assistant with you whom you instruct that once the lock is popped, you have reach here and open it immediately.

Campbell says he can’t say his name, but he opened a Mercedes limousine for a huge hip-hop star. After his company successfully opened the car, the company that leased car said they had called a couple of locksmiths and none of them were willing to even touch this type of car because they knew how advanced it was and knew they could not do it. It happened to be that his locksmith knew the trick and used the right tools. So at 2 a.m., he  got that Mercedes limo open for that rap star.

The Untouchables

Certain Mercedes and BMWs Campbell doesn’t touch. There are cars where the battery dies and the lock has deadlocking feature. In those circumstances, the customer is better off going to BMW dealer with his VIN number and trying to get key made or getting a boost and getting the battery functional again.

Today, he says he can open almost any car. He stays away from a couple of cars but there are still methods to gain access to them, whether by opening the trunk lock, or by trying to open the passenger door or rear door instead of driver door. The difficulty on doors varies depending on how you are trying to open it. One thing that he does not do do is drill open locks in order to open cars. He says if you were to drill out the door lock of a BMW or Mercedes, the client will spend at least $1,000 at the dealer to get that advanced lock replaced. Under those circumstances, it is actually much better for a client to break a window and spend a couple of hundred dollars to get the window replaced than to spend over $1,000 to replace a high-end lock. It gets harder as the years go on, but we are still able to open about 98% of the cars on the road.

Blanket loft insulation is one of the most forms of home insulation. Blanket loft insulation materials are made of glass fibre, rock fibre or mineral fibre. They are available in DIY stores in large rolls. These materials are advisable for DIY insulation installation method as they are flame retardant and provide good protection against dampness, rotting and vermin. The rolls of blanket home insulation products are usually available in the length of 6 – 8m (20 – 25ft), width of up to 400mm or 16in, while in thickness, they may vary from 100, 150 to 200mm ( or 4, 6 to 8 inches).

How to identify blanket insulation materials?

When you visit a local DIY store to purchase blanket loft insulation materials, look for those paper backing rolls of insulation materials. Along with paper backing, these materials may also come in foil backing. Paper backing is added for prevent fibre to be torn while foil backing is added is added especially when the vapour barrier is felt needed for insulation. The vapour barrier is added to prolong the effectiveness of loft insulation that tends to reduce due to formation of condensation. Condensation is most likely around loft space of any building as warm most air rises from heated rooms to colder loft areas resulting dry rotting effects in the roof beams. In such situation, foil backing laid to the insulation forms a barrier that prevent warm moist air forming condensation around areas treated with insulation.

Preparations & Precautions required in Blanket Insulation Method

While installing blanket loft insulation one must not forget that this type of thermal insulation tends to cause somewhat discomfort especially when it comes in direct contact to skin. Glass fibre, rock fibre or mineral fibre materials of blanket insulation cause irritations in contact to installers’ skin. That’s why installers must wear long sleeve attire and long trousers along with thick work gloves that cover maximum portion of human body.

Apart from protecting your skin, you should take measures not to inhale dusts or particles of loose fill or fibre insulation materials. Wear a disposable mask on your face to prevent inhaling toxin insulation materials dusts.

Other precautions that must not be ignored are –

Always carry a torch to ensure adequate light to the loft space to avoid all types of risks.

Must sweep the area around the ceiling joists and get rid of all debris.

Seal openings which can be mostly around pipes, vents, wiring using any flexible mastic.

Now that you have prepared the loft area for laying loft insulation materials, make sure you have calculated the targeted area and cut the materials aligned to the area of the space. Lay the insulation according to the recent Building Regulations recommendations in thickness. Greater the thickness of insulation be, better form of insulation protection it forms to the targeted area.

An alarm system is a very important piece of technology that will find its place in most homes. Whether you are on the road or at work you will have the peace of mind thinking that all your belongings are safe. When choosing your alarm system you will have to make a choice between wireless and wired alarm systems. In order to help you make the best possible decision I have written this short guide which will cover some of the difference between these two models.

The fundamental difference of both alarm systems lies in the way they are connected. Wireless model do not require any wires to connect sensors and alarm system while wired models will require a lot of wires to be scattered all over the place. Wires have the inconvenience of being quite unaesthetic and to require camouflaging in order to avoid any accidents.

With all the holes that must be drilled and the camouflaging work this can take quite some time to set up a wired alarm system. Consequently it is advised to use wired systems in new houses or in those that are undergoing refurbishment. In this case you will not have to drill any wall or alter any existing decor. For finished houses we will recommend wireless model as there is not a lot of installation work to be fulfilled. This French article on home alarm systems (alarme maison sécurité) and home security company contains some useful information and should be worth having a look.

Another interesting difference lies in the area of installation. Given that wireless alarm system does not require a lot of installation work it is easy for the owner to install it himself. This is really great for all DIY lovers out there. On the other hand wired models may require some more substantial installation work and may require a qualified person. This installation work may also impact on the cost of the alarm system overall.

Installing an alarm system at home will greatly help to improve your security whether you are at home or not. You will no more worry of leaving your house at night when going out. Now that you know the difference between wireless and wired models you should not have a lot of problems choosing the appropriate system.
