Proper Smartphone Security Proper Smartphone Security June 19 puma rihanna kengät , 2013 | Author: Alison Ashler | Posted in Insurance An issue that has grown in urgency over the last few years is that of smartphone security. Many new users have not been made aware of the potential risks the devices pose, due to the rapid growth of the smartphone market.
In just a few minutes, a stranger who gets ahold of your smartphone could know intimate details of your life. What you do for a living, who your friends are, where you go and what you like to do are all told by your messages, address book, calendar, photos and browser history.
If your phone were stolen or misplaced, do you know what you would do? What about all that personal data that is linked to your phone? Would you even know where to start to get it back? If this has ever happened to you, you know what a nightmare it can be.
Sure adidas nmd city sock suomi , it’s the most obvious thing to do. But the first step to securing your smart phone is a password. On most smartphones these days, you have the ability to create a password and set it to lock automatically if you don’t use your phone for a certain period of time. Should you ever misplace your phone, taking this simple step will help keep prying eyes away from your data.
Unfortunately, the main reason people don’t protect their phones even with an elementary passcode is because they find it a hassle. Typing in four extra digits before making a phone call or sending a text message is an unwanted inconvenience. Passwords were created to deter cyber criminals from accessing your data.
Remote wipe should be enabled too. Remote wipe does what the name implies: it remotely wipes the data on your phone and restores it to the factory settings. Be prepared to initiate this, should your phone fall into the wrong hands, although it’s not something you want to do regularly.
Mobile phone users have a tendency to enable their devices to automatically connect to Wi-Fi networks. Cyber criminals may hijack the personal information of people using fake Wi-Fi networks they set up to attract unsuspecting users in popular areas. Consumers will often use any wireless connection available without checking if they are secure.
Downloaded apps are the easiest route into your phone for hackers. You are taking the first step toward protecting your phone by not opening up your phone for non-regulated software, and only buying from the dedicated app stores.
Due to hackers taking a popular app, adding their own malicious code and distributing it for free, a sizeable majority of malware found on phones currently comes from pirated software. So make sure you look for the official versions.
Finally, a lot of apps on a smartphone track your location. You can choose which apps gain access to location data adidas nmd xr1 suomi , or turn off location services altogether.

Helping Your Child With Their Homework Helping Your Child With Their Homework March 21, 2014 | Author: Franklin Skribbit | Posted in Education
Little Jack hopped out of the van and headed straight towards the camp bus. Little Lauren on the other hand clung to her mother’s hand as she tried to unpack the duffel bags. Jack had been to camp before, but Lauren had not. This was her first big trip away without mom, and she was nervous.
How to help? So now that we have established the need to help your child with their homework, we need to address how this can be accomplished. In many cases getting your child to do their homework or feel motivated to know more about a certain subject can create many obstacles. Here are some suggestions that can help parents and students alike:
Habit: It is important to create a habit for homework, have them start their studies soon after returning home. Set a timer when they get home and once the timer goes off then it is time to start studying. Break up the study time into 15 to 20 minute increments.
Breaking Away One of the main reasons summer camps are so effective at encouraging this kind of development, is because camps give children a place and opportunities to be independent (although supervised). Most camps ban cell-phones and encourage kids to focus on the experiences they are having at camp – not the “outside world.” Parents aren’t hovering and children learn by the example of other campers (as well as camp councilors) and through their own experiences. In effect, they learn how to take charge and own their experiences at camp.

Workbook that is itemized by subject such as writing, numbers, etc… this will help to reinforce what is being taught to your child.
Rewards: For younger children use stickers and a chart that would show their progress by completing their assignments. For older kids you may do a point system that could represent a money amount or activity that they can receive upon completion. You can also base their progress on how consistent they are in their homework sessions. For example, if they have four classes and spend 15 to 20 minutes in each one then they can get points for each time period.
