This is part 2 of a 2 part series on shoplifting. In this article we will examine some of the more common techniques used to shoplift. Do everything possible to protect yourself and your business when opening a dollar store. Don't delay in preparing. In fact everything possible should be done prior to actually opening for business.

There are a number of ways that customers can and will shoplift. In fact the variety of techniques used is limited only by the creativity of the shoplifter. In many cases the method used depends on the size of the item being taken. Smaller items are either grabbed and then pocketed or placed into a bag, backpack or purse. There is also the method of knocking a number of items off the shelf, seemingly by accident, and then bagging items while replacing them. Often many of these items will end up in a pocket, including in hooded sweatshirt with the pockets in the front for both hands, or in larger purses.

Another method is making use of shopping bags from your store. These previously used shopping bags are used to carry items out without being stopped. This works well since most people just assume that the person has purchased the items that are contained inside the bags. Unless you have a security system with tagging and monitors at the exits, and the security alarms are then triggered, no one is the wiser when this method is used. This technique can be used with completely lifted merchandise. It can also be used when purchased items are combined with items that have not been paid for. In other words, a few unpaid for items are slipped in with the items that are paid for. Opening a dollar store means being vigilant to these commonly used methods and then putting protection in-place.

Another technique is when a customer comes in to your store. Next the customer picks up two items. One they open and place in a store bag. They then take both items to customer service or your cashiers and request an exchange without receipt, for a supposed defective item. They then walk out not only with a receipt but with the item. There are even more complex methods but they usually involve several different people and are not as common. Shoplifting on a small scale is usually done by a single person and involves the more common pocket and leave techniques.

Security tags will not always protect your items. Dressing rooms and out of the way places are perfect for people to open and remove the security tags from inside the items. They then simply place the items, usually minus the cases, into a bag or pocket.

When opening a dollar store business, become informed. It starts with being aware of the more common methods used. Next eliminate dimly lit, out of the way locations where it can most easily occur. Work with your commercial insurance carrier and the local authorities to gain a better education. Examine every option to reduce shoplifting in your store.

To your dollar store business success!

The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (S-Ox) and the Risks of Non-Compliance Because of Spam.

The Sarbanes Oxley Act was created to combat the rise of corporate fraud in the early part of the 21st century. In a nutshell, the act stipulates retention periods for electronic data (seven years), and mandates that companies must create, publish, and enforce detailed policies governing classification of, access to, and control over electronic data, which includes email messages.

S-Ox does not mention spam, spyware, or any other malware specifically, but it does address compliance issues that can arise because of these things. The intent behind the act is to ensure that companies retain data that may be important in resolving legal issues. Corporate policies must ensure that the data isn't lost or deleted; that security is in place to restrict data access to the parties that legitimately need it; and that the data can be searched and retrieved in meaningful ways when information is needed for an investigation. Spam can impact all of these priorities.

Retention Costs
Without ample spam filters in place, the storage costs of spam alone would be significant for mid-size or larger companies trying to keep every email for seven years, given that up to 90% of all emails coming from the internet are currently junk (Spamhaus).

Security
According to the FBI, 74% of documented cases of Internet and web-based crime used unsolicited email as the primary means to contact the victimized companies and individuals. Spam is the number one means of transmitting malicious viruses, worms, and trojans designed to steal confidential information. Failure to provide adequate protection against these threats, or at least make an earnest and informed effort to do so, would qualify as S-Ox non-compliance.

Access
Archives that are polluted with spam are more difficult to index by keyword, and more costly to search for relevant records in the event of an investigation.

Compliance with S-Ox and related regulations must be a serious concern to corporate policy-makers and IT departments. Penalties for non-compliance range from the loss of exchange listing to multimillion-dollar fines and imprisonment. Dealing effectively with spam should be a key piece of an overall compliance strategy.

Are you in a small or medium business drowning in spam? Are you using an anti spam product that does not eliminate 99.8% of the spam and/or removes legitimate messages that may cost thousands in lost opportunities?

The MX Police spam filter can allow you to deal with your business, not with your spam!

In 1906, the residents of San Francisco, California, had an abrupt change of lifestyle. They learned that almost anything can happen without warning. An earthquake killed about 3,000 people and caused over $400 million in property damages. In 1920, the Gansu earthquake in China took about 200,000 lives. Then in 1948, the region around Ashgabat in the Soviet Union suffered a powerful quake that claimed over two-thirds of that city's population (110,000 people died).

About Earthquakes

The most powerful earthquake ever recorded happened in 1960 in Chile. Registering 9.5 on the Moment magnitude scale, it created a tsunami that swept the entire Pacific Ocean. In 1972, 90% of the city of Managua, Nicaragua, was destroyed by a midnight earthquake that killed over 10,000 people. Then in 1985, the Great Mexican Earthquake struck, killing as many as 30,000 people, most of whom were never found. In 1989, San Francisco and surrounding areas experienced the "World Series Quake."

In 2003, the Bam Citadel, the largest adobe structure in the world and built before 500 B.C. was almost completely destroyed, together with 70% of the city of Bam and 70,000 residents.

Most of them happen along what is known as the circum-Pacific seismic belt or the "Pacific Ring of Fire" bounding the Pacific tectonic plate. With high-population cities like Mexico City, Tehran, and Tokyo growing in areas of high risk, it is possible that a future earthquake could take as many as 3 million lives.

It's hard to understand why people insist on living in earthquake-prone areas like San Francisco and the mountains of central and South America. But in fact, earthquakes are a common phenomenon, small ones happening somewhere in the world every day. Characterized by shaking and ruptures in the land, earthquakes also cause dangerous avalanches and landslides, fires like the terrible 1906 San Francisco experience, soil liquefaction where buildings literally sink into the earth, and massive tsunamis. Because the damage they do is enduring, they also leave high risks for disease in their wake as people try to find potable water to drink and dry, safe places to sleep and live.

People who live in high-probability earthquake zones must live each day as it comes, knowing that their fragile lives could be over in an instant. Knowing that tragedy can strike at any time, they prepare for it.

Technology specialist Jason lives near the Marina, the most high-risk area in his city. He accepts graciously the fact that living there is a risk, but he always stores basic supplies for that inevitable crisis. He keeps several gallons of fresh water, portable food packs, extra flashlights and batteries, and several thing-a-magics that would overwhelm the technologically-challenged.

Earthquake Safety Tips

* Duck. Stay off heavy objects that may fall. Find an open area or stand in a doorway.

* If you can't get out of the building, seek protection under a heavy table.

* If you're driving when the earthquake strikes, stay inside your car.

* If you're in a mall or store, move away from shelving and other movable objects.

* In theaters and stadiums, duck under your seat and wait until the mob has largely left the area. Don't get caught up in the panic-filled crowds.

Another Word of Advice

Being well-prepared, having a plan of action, is the best way to prepare to survive an earthquake. Lacking this comfortable knowledge, you are more likely to panic and make deadly mistakes.

Know where strong, stable structures are that may provide shelter. Avoid areas of poor construction or materials. Stay calm. Stay alert. Things change very quickly, and you should be ready to respond.

WHAT'S YOUR MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME?

Passwords are crucial to accessing your personal accounts and information. The problem is: We all have so many accounts that we worry more about remembering our passwords than we do about making sure they actually protect our data from hackers. So we end up using passwords like our mother's maiden name or child's first name. But even if you add a few numbers to the end, those types of passwords are easy to break. And that means your data isn't safe.

The tips below can help you avoid the most common password pitfalls and even implement a few new ideas that will make your passwords easy to remember...and hard to break!

Strength Training

A well-protected password is not only unique, but also hard to guess. How do you do that? It's pretty simple really. Just follow this advice:

Use a random string of characters. That means no sequential letters or numbers. None.

Make it looooong. The longer the better--even up to as many as 10 to 14 characters.

Switch things up. Use a combination of upper and lower case letters, along with a few numbers mixed in the middle or end.

Don't use substitutes. Using "@" for "a" or "1" for "I" may look good to you, but most hackers are smart enough to break those substitutes rather quickly.

Avoid easy targets like words straight out of the dictionary or things like family names and birthdays.

Multiplication Facts

Most of us cheat when it comes to passwords. We have trouble remembering our passwords, so we come up with two or three that we can remember and use them everywhere. But you should avoid the temptation. The fact is, once a password is compromised, all of your accounts are vulnerable. There's no way around it, you need to a way to create and remember multiple passwords--a different one for each account!

Sure-Fire Technique for Memorable, Unique Passwords

For all the advice above, good passwords come down to two things: they're easy for you to remember, and they're hard to break. Implementing the tips above can make your passwords hard to break, but what about remembering them--especially if you have a unique password for every account? Here's a sure-fire tip to help!

1. Think up a phrase. Instead of a common word or family member name, think up a unique phrase that only you know. For example, you may think up something off the wall such as "I Like Short Hair Too."

2. Make it an acronym. In our example, "I Like Short Hair Too" would become ILSHT.

3. Add Complexity. Remember those substitutes you're not supposed to use with dictionary words? Well, you CAN use them with your acronym. For example, "I Like Short Hair Too" can become "1 Like $hort Hair 2" which makes: 1L$H2. You can also use upper and lower letters to make it 1L$h2. The point is to be creative, but in a way that you can easily remember it.

4. Make it unique. A password is only really unique if you use it for one account and one account only. So you can't just use 1L$h2 for every account. And, in reality it's still too short. Here's the key to the whole process: Mix in additional letters and numbers that are unique to each account. For example, if you're logging into a "gmail account" you can use the "gm" and "@cct" (for acct) to make: 1L$h2gM@cct. Then, for a Netflix account, you may use: 1L$h2Nf@cct.

Of course, these are just examples. You'll want to be creative and think up your own acronym and ways to add unique characters for each account. And then keep that little secret to yourself so no one will be able to guess your account passwords.

Follow these simple steps and you'll have passwords that are tough to break, unique to every account, and easy to remember!

Den nostalgiske dimension: En værkgennemgang af Harald Kiddes roman Helten

There are some very surprising tidbits of information concerning burglary and home invasion. For instance, most burglars are never caught and most stolen property is never recovered. Another interesting fact is that most burglaries happen because the homeowner gave the burglar an opportunity.

What sort of opportunities do homeowners regularly give these criminals? You may be surprise by the number of common practices that can give a burglar the green light to invade your home. Let's start with some of the most obvious.

Not installing an alarm system is one of the biggest reasons that home are broken into. Additionally, homes without an alarm system frequently have other safety concerns. Unlocked doors and windows (even those on a second floor!) can be a welcoming entry point for any burglar.

Unlit outdoor areas, such as driveways, walkways and entry areas are all opportunities for criminals to gain access to your home. In addition, overgrown shrubbery around a home or yard can provide great concealment for someone intent on breaking into your home.

Other areas for concern are older trees near a home. These trees often have spreading limbs that can provide an easy means of getting into your home through an upper floor window. Obvious signs that the home is not occupied are also one of the things that burglars look for in a choice home. With no one home, a criminal is much more likely to break in.

A lack of home security signs and stickers in and around the home (even if you don't have one) is another indicator that your home may be ripe for a burglary. Security system signs and stickers are almost as effective as a home security system itself. Most crooks will simply leave if they spot these around your yard or in the windows of your home. In order for these to be effective, though, they must be well maintained and replaced when they begin to fade.

Most home invasions are not planned; they are crimes of convenience. It usually takes an average burglar just two minutes to get into an unprotected home. If the homeowner can deter a burglar through security measures even a few minutes, most of them will give up and move on to easier prey.

Forming a neighborhood watch is another good way to deter crime around your home and neighborhood in general.

Another item of note for homeowners: shooting a burglar is actually a bad idea. Many homeowners have been sued for this action and the criminal has won the court case! Prevention through other methods is much more effective than a firearm.

Of course, the single most effective method of deterring a break in to your home is by installing a professionally monitored security system Besides deterring bad guys, these can be used to monitor your home for many other risks and safety hazards, such as integrated smoke detectors, fire alarms, water sensors, carbon monoxide sensors and panic buttons for those who may have physical problems limiting mobility.

Driving our cars may be easy to do when you have four wheel drives or power steering automobiles. Sure you can have smooth rides even in rough roads but there are several instances wherein you car can actually breakdown. Sometimes, your high-end cars can be trapped on mud or you might encounter situations that are uncalled for like fire and engine breakdown. With the possibility of these things from happening, it is always important to come prepared in cases of emergencies. To do so, below are some of the important things that you need to carry with you at all times and can be very helpful when you get caught up in difficult situations.

EWD

EWD stands for early warning devices. They are indicators that warn passers-by or other vehicles passing through about the car breakdown that you are having. This way they can see from afar and slow down ahead of time. This can be very helpful when your vehicle breaks down in the middle of the street. It can also attract people who can possibly help you in cases when you need a tow or if you need someone with mechanical expertise. They are not heavy to carry because you can disassemble them when not in use.

Car fire extinguisher

You will never know when fire occurs. This can happen when you like smoking inside your vehicle or if in any cases your engine starts to expel smoke. If this occurs, you can prevent your car from exploding if you have one of these devices on hand. Who knows, you might be able to put a stop on fire in cases of emergencies along the road. You do not only get to a chance to do a good deed but you can be an instant hero for them.

First Aid Kits

Could you imagine living life without these kits? Well it could be possible but the chances of saving lives can be equal to zero. While being on the road or in cases that your car breaks down, the tendency of the owners is to open their trunk and troubleshoot the problem. This is not a bad thing to do for it is normal however, for someone who does not know what they are doing might incur cuts or wounds. Vehicular accidents whether small or big, can result to injuries. With first aid kits, you can take immediate action on things that can be control before medical personnel arrives.

Car Tools and Water

You need to have tools like screwdrivers, jacks and other tools that you can use to change tires or operate on parts. These are very helpful especially when you call for an onsite mechanic to help you out to check on your vehicle. Water is just as important because it can help in cases of overheating. Human beings are not the only ones getting dehydration; cars do too. Therefore, be smart and have them around at all times.

Aside from spare tires, car fire extinguisher and first aid kits are important devices that you should have at all times. Car tools are already a given but it is not advisable to leave them at home especially when you are driving.

Having specialized in the car fire extinguishers trade for over 20 years, Brian now works tirelessly to promote affordable fire safety for home and for business.
