LifeShield Security Gives the Gift of Home Security this Holiday Season

America's leading wireless home security company shares valuable information on how to protect your home during these high-risk months.

2010-11-17

YARDLEY, PA, November 17, 2010 (Press-News.org) Tis the season to be wary. LifeShield Security, a national leader and innovator in wireless home security and monitoring, is encouraging all Americans to be extra cautious during the upcoming holiday months. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, nearly 400,000 burglaries occur in the United States from November through December every year. LifeShield's team of home security specialists have put together their "Top 5 Do-It-Yourself Tips" on how anyone can help make their home more secure.

LifeShield's "Top 5 Do-It-Yourself Tips" for increased home security:
1. Leaving empty boxes from your new computer, television set, etc, on the curb for trash pick-up signifies to potential burglars that you have valuable goods within your home. Make sure they are broken down and concealed.
2. Frost or cover your garage windows and/or doors. This will make a burglar unable to tell whether or not you are home.
3. When any and all delivery people deliver a package, you have the right to ask for identification. Please do this, especially during the holidays when parcel deliveries are in excess.
4. Make sure the voice message on your mobile phone and/or landline does not indicate that you are away from your home for any period of time. The same goes for your social media status.
5. Make sure that all main entryways into your home are secured with a deadbolt. This adds extra strength to the door, making it much harder to be broken down.

While each of these tips guarantee to help make your home safer, nothing can compare to the protection that a professional grade home security system has to offer. What is even more important than having a home security system is making sure that you choose one that is best-suited for you and your home. LifeShield Security's Founder & COO Louis Stilp encourages you to ask yourself the following questions before purchasing a home security system:
- Is it affordable?
- Is it wireless?
- Can it be armed and disarmed remotely?
- Does it offer four layers of protection?
- What type of monitoring accompanies the system?

LifeShield Security fulfills all of your home security needs. The system is completely wireless making it ideal for all types of people, including: renters, homeowners and small business owners. It provides remote capabilities, boasts superior protection and promises the best value in total home security. LifeShield's four layers of backup protection allow it to remain working even if the customer's Internet is down, there is a power outage or if the phone lines are cut. Round-the-clock monitoring is offered through Guardian Protection Services, one of the largest security monitoring companies in the United States. Added bonuses include: the LifeShield Smartphone Application compatible with iPhone, BlackBerry and Droid; HomeView cameras with Wi-Fi capabilities; SMS and e-mail alerts; and MyLifeShield, the unique monitoring record system which allows you to log in and view the complete history of who has been in and out of your home each day.

Proper home security is an important factor to consider all year round. However, with increased crime occurring every holiday season, the lack of a security system places your home at an even higher risk for break-ins. Now is the time to start thinking about how you will keep the holiday spirit in and burglars out.

How do neural stem cells decide what to be -- and when?

2010-11-16

SINGAPORE – Researchers at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore have uncovered a novel feedback mechanism that controls the delicate balance of brain stem cells. Zif, a newly discovered protein, controls whether brain stem cells renew themselves as stem cells or differentiate into a dedicated type of neuron (nerve cell). In preclinical studies, the researchers showed that Zif is important for inhibiting overgrowth of neural stem cells in fruit flies (genus Drosophila) by ensuring that a proliferation factor (known as aPKC) maintains appropriate levels in ...

New study affirms handwriting problems affect children with autism into the teenage years

2010-11-16

The handwriting problems that affect children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are likely to continue into their teenage years, according to a study from the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Md. The research is published in the November 16, 2010 issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. In 2009, Kennedy Krieger researchers conducted the first study to examine handwriting quality in children with ASD, finding that motor skills (e.g., timed movements) predicted handwriting deficits. This latest study revealed that, like children ...

Disruptive behaviour disorders in male teenagers associated with increased risk of road crashes

2010-11-16

Disruptive behaviour disorders in male teenagers, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder are associated with about a one-third increase in the risk of being seriously injured in a road traffic crash – either as driver or pedestrian. This increase is similar to the increased relative risk found for patients treated for epilepsy. These are the findings of a study by Donald Redelmeier and colleagues from the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada, and published in this week's PLoS Medicine. Male teenagers are ...

Analysis of teeth suggests modern humans mature more slowly than Neanderthals did

2010-11-16

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A sophisticated new examination of teeth from 11 Neanderthal and early human fossils shows that modern humans are slower than our ancestors to reach full maturity. The finding suggests that our characteristically slow development and long childhood are recent and unique to our own species, and may have given early humans an evolutionary advantage over Neanderthals. The research, led by scientists at Harvard University, the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EVA), and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), is detailed in ...

'At-TRIB(1)-uting' a gene a new function in the liver

2010-11-16

Specific, relatively uncommon variations at a region of human chromosome 8 have recently been linked to fat (lipid) levels in the blood that decrease an individual's risk of atherosclerosis (a disease of the major arterial blood vessels that is a main cause of heart attack and stroke). The only currently described gene in this region of chromosome 8 is TRIB1, but it has not been previously linked in any way to regulation of lipid levels. Now, a team of researchers, led by Jan Breslow, at The Rockefeller University, New York, and Daniel Rader, at the University of Pennsylvania ...

Health professionals need to take action on water and sanitation issues

2010-11-16

The active involvement of health professionals in hygiene, sanitation, and water supply is absolutely crucial to accelerating and consolidating global health progress, says a new series of papers in PLoS Medicine by a leading group of public health academics and water advocates. Professor Sandy Cairncross from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and colleagues show how water and sanitation issues are woefully neglected across the world and suggest that action could prevent more than 2 million children dying each year. The authors say that in 2010, ...

Use of AEDs in hospitals for cardiac arrest not linked with improved survival

2010-11-16

While automated external defibrillators improve survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, an analysis of data indicates their use for cardiac arrest in a hospital does not result in an improved rate of survival, according to a study in the November 17 issue of JAMA. The study is being released early online because it will be presented at the American Heart Association's annual meeting. Use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) has been proposed as a strategy to reduce times to defibrillation and improve survival from cardiac arrests that occur in the hospital ...
