Tips for fire safety
Most people ignore that fire is the third leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States.Every day there may occur more than 130 workplace fires .However, many of theses accidents could have been prevented if they only had a plan and mastered some common sense. Following I will suggest some tips for fire safety.
The number one tip is that to make sure all family members know what to do in the event of a fire. In a fire, timing is very critical. Don't waste time getting dressed, don't search for pets or valuables. Just get out! Set up a way for everyone can realize the accident has occurred like screaming, pounding on walls, yelling "fire"!
If a fire happens in your home, you have to get out fast! Be sure that everyone knows at least two escape exits, the doors and windows from every room.Prepare for a fire emergency by sitting down with your family and agreeing on an escape plan. Decide on a meeting place outside where everyone will meet after they escape the fire. Have your entire household practice your escape plan at least twice a year.
Smoke detectors is useful especially when the family is asleep. It can alert you to a fire in your home in time for you to escape the blaze. Install smoke detectors on every floor of your home, including the basement. Test detectors every month, following the manufacturer's directions, and replace batteries once a year, or whenever a detector "chirps" to signal low battery power. Make sure your alarm works at all times! A non functional smoke detector can't save your life or your family's. Replace detectors that are more than a years old.
Never leave cooking unattended. Keep cooking areas clear of combustibles. Turn pot handles inward on the stove where you can't bump them and children can't grab them and burn themselves. If grease catches fire in a pan, slide a lid over the pan to smother the flames and turn off the heat. Leave the lid on until cool.

10 Tips for Writing Bookmarkable Content
Why should we write bookmarkable content?
There are several benefits to writing bookmarkable content. It has the potential to become popular on social bookmarking services like del.icio.us, and it brings in repeat traffic from readers who’ve bookmarked it for future use. Bookmarkable content is also a form of vital content: content readers can’t do without. This kind of content has been the foundation of some of the world’s best blogs.
Elements of bookmarkable content
It’s not necessary that you try to include all these elements at once, but each on their own (or in a sensible combination) will increase the likeliness of your content being bookmarked.
1. Length. One common reason why readers bookmark is that they want to read the content from start to finish but don’t have the time at the moment. Writing a good quality article which is longer than your average blog post is a good way to get bookmarked.
2. Introduce a new idea. Seth Godin’s blog posts seem almost contradictory to the above point, in that they are frequently bookmarked but tend to be quite short. What makes them bookmarkable is that they contain thought-provoking ideas readers don’t want to risk forgetting. You can encourage bookmarks by innovating.
3. Write a useful tutorial, how to, or guide. Tutorials tend to contain too many steps to memorize in one sitting. If a reader thinks what you are teaching is worthwhile, they’ll bookmark it. The most successful tutorials and guides are written about something a lot of readers want to do but haven’t been shown how elsewhere. Uniqueness and demand are the key factors in deciding whether a tutorial is bookmarkable.
4. Create a one-stop reference. This requires more hard-work than creativity, and as such anyone can do it. Pick a topic and assemble all the useful information and resources you can find on that topic in one place. Readers are likely to bookmark this because you’ve done all the hard-work for them.
5. Create a recommended list. If you’ve developed a sense of trust with your readers then they’re likely to respect your opinion. Create a list of your favorite blogs, or favorite websites, or favorite posts, or favorite albums, etc. Readers will appreciate the recommendation from someone they trust. The longer the list, the more likely it is to be bookmarked and returned to later.
6. Create a cheat sheet for your topic. A cheat sheet is any single-page reference guide for a topic. A web-designer’s cheat sheet might contain definitions of every CSS term, a beginner chess player’s cheat sheet might outline how the pieces are set-up on the board, and how they move, a traveler going to Japan might create a cheat sheet with key Japanese phrases, tourist attractions, notes on local customs, and so on.
Cheat sheets encourage bookmarking because they’re a quick reference for information that can’t easily be remembered.
7. Make a convincing argument on a controversial topic. Readers who share your opinion will often bookmark the post if they feel you’ve stated their case more eloquently than they themselves could. When the argument comes up elsewhere, that reader is likely to point others to your article as a means of stating their case. There is even a chance that your post could go viral — though you have to be prepared for a little controversy in the comments section!
8. Compile great videos on a topic. Search for the best ten (or whatever number) videos on your topic and compile them in a post. If each video is 5 minutes long then it might take half-an-hour to watch them all. Readers will be more likely to bookmark the post and watch a new video when they have the time.
9. Remedy a problem. If the remedy is not a simple process readers are likely to bookmark it so they can implement the points over time. Even readers who are not yet suffering the problem might bookmark the post just in case they suffer it in future. I myself have bookmarked a post which lists dozens of content ideas — even though I’m nowhere near running out of ideas yet.
10. Compile a directory of links. These links are usually grouped under one broad topic and divided into sub-headings. There might be a sentence or two of evaluative or descriptive text next to the link. The more links, the more bookmarkable the content.

Take a walk around your home and look at it from a burglars point of view. Where would be the easiest place to break in? Where could you hide if a car approached? Is there a point of entry that is not easily seen from the street or a neighbor's window?
Making your home a less attractive target is the goal.Security stickers and yard signs are a great way to make burglars look for an easier opportunity, but there are many things you can do to make your home more secure
Home security- -Doors,windows and locks
Exterior doors should be metal or solid-core or 1 ¾ “ hardwood. Hollow doors should only be used for interior applications.
Make sure each door fits snug in its frame with no more than 1/8” clearance. When locked, the door should close tightly with no wiggle room. If there is a gap between the door and the stop, the door is much easier to force open.
Make sure all doors to the outside have good locks. Every door that leads to the out side should have locks including: screen and storm doors, garage doors, basement doors and sliding doors. Where applicable use deadbolts with a minimum of 1 ½” bolts
Lock up every time you go out, even if you will only be gone a short time. Almost 50 percent of burglars enter homes or property through unlocked doors or windows.
Never hide keys outside in a secret location. Burglars know where to look! Leave a spare key with a trusted neighbor instead.
Secure sliding glass doors with bars or locks, or put a wooden dowel or broom handle in the door track.
Make sure all windows, but especially those on the first floor, have good locks and make sure you use them.
Landscaping and lighting
Make sure all entryways are well lit; Use 60 watt bulbs or brighter where possible. A well lit house is a less attractive target.
Keep shrubs trimmed below windows to reduce cover. A burglar would rather enter through a window that is hidden from view than one where he is exposed.
Exterior lighting equipped with motion detectors are available at most home improvement stores. Use them to scare off would be burglars.

Vacations and other tips
Turn the ringer on the telephone down low. If a burglar is around, he won't be alerted to your absence by a ringing phone
Window air conditioning units should be bolted to the wall to prevent them from being easily removed from the outside.
If you purchase televisions, computers, stereo equipment or similar items, dispose of the boxes in a discrete manner. Putting the empty carton on the curb, is like advertising your valuables to burglars.
Use automatic timers to turn on lights and televisions at different times of the day. Leaving one or two lights on constantly is a sure sign that no one is home.
Have neighbors, friends or family pick up your mail, mow your lawn, use your garbage cans, and park in your driveway when you are away. Even if a burglar knows you are away, the activity around your home will act as a deterrent.
