Dummy Security Cameras: what you should know
Posted by Laurize Mimay
No Comments
Dummy Security Cameras are cameras that look like real security cameras but are not. They may even have a blinking red LED light. They are useful for deterring criminals; they don’t know they are fake! They are much cheaper than installing a fully functioning security system.
However, they don’t do anything. If a criminal is brazen enough, or smart enough to tell the difference, and they break in anyway, then no footage will be recorded. Many business and home homeowners choose to use these in addition to existing working systems. In essence, they use them “to beef up” their real security system.

20 Passenger Ship Hijacked by Pirates

With the most recent hijacking of a ship en route to the Tanzanian port city of Dar es Salaam with 29 people on board, it stands to reason that its not gonna get any better anytime soon. Pirates from Somalia usually seize ships in the Gulf of Aden, one of the world’s busiest waterways, but patrols by an international flotilla has only caused them to move their operations farther south.
Hijacked by Pirates
The January 17-21 training course, provided by the Executive Protection Institute on International Protective Operations on a Caribbean Cruise, looks to provide training in a niche market. While it doesn’t necessarily cover a tactical approach to a pirate invasion – it will most definitely be a good investment for the bodyguard looking to expand his/her arsenal to more well-rounded capabilities.
Plus, its set on an actual cruise – so, you get a kind-sorta mini vacation out of the deal as well.

Chihuahua state prosecutors’ spokesman Arturo Sandoval said Edgar Lopez, 35, of El Paso, Texas, was killed Sunday along with two Mexican men when gunmen opened fire on a group standing outside a house.
Border town of Ciudad Juarez
On Saturday, a 26-year-old U.S. woman and an American boy were slain shortly after crossing an international bridge from El Paso. Giovanna Herrera and Luis Araiza, 15, were shot to death along with a Mexican man traveling with them just after 11 a.m., Sandoval said.
Sandoval said authorities also identified a 24-year-old woman killed Friday inside a tortilla shop as Lorena Izaguirre, a U.S. citizen and El Paso resident. A Mexican man was also found dead in the store.

The man accused of lying about a failed plot to join the U.S. military and team up with insurgents in Iraq was jailed without bail in his first court appearance Tuesday since his arrest last month.

21-year-old Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, from Staten Island, was arrested in Hawaii and brought back to New York to answer the charges that he tried to join the U.S. military at a Times Square recruiting station so he could he could be deployed to Iraq, desert and fight with anti-American insurgency forces – after he had tried unsuccessfully to travel to Pakistan, Jordan and Somalia.
So – should he have been accepted by the military (which he wasnt) he would have not only received training, weapons and quite a few secrets (most of which terrorists probably already know, but its the principle of it). He would possibly have gained the trust of quite a few of his peers, and then betrayed them…
What if they stationed him in Guam?

Afghan Children
Posted by Michael Saad
No Comments
As part of the day-to-day observations I have around Afghanistan, the most notable being a lack of discouragment. Every day, a 10 year old is out on the street trying to make money – whether by hussling the ever-so-present american, or by pushing a cart up and down the street selling ice cream or other goodies. Being from a country with so much going against it – it might be easy for one to understandibly give up. I dont see that here. I see a most of the people doing the best they can, with what they have.
- Afghan Children.
Lost Cause, or the New Hope?
Whether that 10 year old actually is allowed to grow up, or whether he becomes the next casuality of war, or just collateral damage – or whether he becomes Taliban (if he’s not been indoctrinated already)… only time will tell, and I will never know.
What I do know – is these children, have no time or understanding – on how to be real children. They play soccer on the road side, but the common things that people take for granted – like not having to worry about becoming the next victim… are very much at the forefront of these Afghan children – but, still, they continue.
