But how secure are luggage locks? The disturbing truth is that luggage locks are terribly insecure.<br />
<br />
What does the insecurity of these locks mean for your luggage security? How does that affect the protection of your property? In order to investigate these issues, we will have to venture deep into the terrifying truth about luggage locks.<br />
<br />
What security do TSA locks offer your luggage?<br />
TSA locks are not secure. The shackles can be cut by most low-quality diagonal cutting pliers, the lock cylinders can be picked open with very little skill, and the schematics for the master keys have been revealed to the public. If you are using a TSA lock, you are getting the illusion of security.<br />
<br />
The biggest benefit to using TSA locks is that the TSA can open your bag without having <a href="https://easylocksmith.us/door-lock-repair-replacement-2/">24/7 door lock replacement</a>. This still might not keep your lock from being cut off, as many travelers report having TSA cut locks off regardless of having been TSA approved. But at least there is a chance that your insecure lock will not be broken open.<br />
<br />
A TSA approved padlock is the next step up from a zip tie. It provides the same amount of initial security if you are worried about criminal tampering. However, a TSA lock can potentially be taken off and relocked on the bag, where a zip tie cannot be reattached once removed. With a TSA approved lock, after a lawful search, there is a chance that your luggage can maintain its same level of “security”.<br />
<br />
1. The TSA Can Remove Any Luggage Lock Without Cause<br />
If you are checking luggage, the TSA reserves the right to open your baggage by the means required to properly carry out the search. In case you have not received a “Notice Of Baggage Inspection” letter in your checked luggage, it reads as follows:<br />
<br />
To Protect you and your fellow passengers, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is required by law to inspect all checked baggage. As part of this process, some bags are opened and physically inspected. Your bag was among those selected for physical inspection.<br />
<br />
During the inspection, your bag and its contents may have been searched for prohibited items. At the completion of the inspection, the contents were returned to your bag.<br />
<br />
If the TSA security officer was unable to open our bag for inspection because it was locked, the officer may have been forced to break the locks on your bag. TSA sincerely regrets having to do this, however TSA is not liable for the damage to your locks resulting from this necessary security precaution.<br />
<br />
The note goes on to suggest that the recipient of the inspection notice refer to www.tsa.gov to find “packing tips and suggestions on how to secure your baggage during your next trip…” Is it ironic for a note telling you what you just read to recommend that you use better security next time you fly? It may seem that way, but the spirit in which it is intended is that locks are not security, knowing what is going to get your bag flagged is the security you need for avoiding TSA attention.<br />
<br />
2. Every Luggage Lock Can Be Opened<br />
It is true that every lock can be picked, even locks that have not been picked yet can still be opened. Opening methods that travel security professionals use are almost always destructive. There is no lock that exists that can withstand every type destructive entry method given an unlimited amount of time with the lock.<br />
<br />
Not even the best padlocks in existence can hold up to the highest level of pressure that can be applied to them. Do not expect that your security can keep out any law enforcement. Even though you may be hoping to avoid criminally minded baggage checkers, they are within their right to open your luggage at all costs.<br />
<br />
Though there are documented cases where strong enough security has been enough to have TSA give up on trying to open it. I don’t fully understand the implications of security that has law enforcement give up, but I would not expect to be the exception to the rule that if the opening of your bag a legally sanctioned it will be carried out.<br />
<br />
In terms of criminal threats without the full force of the law behind them, your locks can still be opened. However, when it comes to standard criminals you have to consider every aspect of luggage security and not just the security of your luggage locks.<br />
<br />
3. No Luggage Lock Can Protect a Zipper<br />
Any luggage lock that is placed to secure a zipper is completely useless. Anyone with a ballpoint pen can puncture the zipper track (aka teeth). This gives anyone access to the contents of your bag in seconds. Once a person has rooted around in your belongings, they can then move the zipper’s pull tab over the open teeth and reseal the bag without any sign of entry.<br />
<br />
If you have an anti-puncture zipper, then your zipper is safe, but a lock can never protect the zipper. When you want a lock to matter at all, you have to use luggage that has hasps, not a zipper. Hasps are common on hard shell cases, which are intended to protect the contents of the luggage.<br />
<br />
It is also unlikely that you will end up with a bag that has an anti-puncture zipper if you do not go out of your way to purchase one. This feature is not common, in spite of the fact that the method of entry is extremely popular for criminals all over the world.<br />
<br />
4. Your Bag Undermines the Security of a Luggage Lock<br />
Security is not the main concern for standard baggage manufactures. Unless the luggage has been designed with security in mind, the lock you place on it is not going to matter much at all. Besides zipper protection, you have to be concerned about more brash criminals that will not care about surreptitiously or even covertly open your bag.<br />
<br />
A very common method of entry that criminals will use is to cut your bag. You made need something like a Pelican case. With a light slice from a sharp knife, a thief now has access to everything in your luggage. Unless your bag can resist cutting, having a lock on your bag is not going to truly protect the property inside.<br />
<br />
Most likely your bag is always going to be easier to break than an incredibly strong lock. It does not make sense to have an extremely powerful lock if the case it is securing is itself insecure. Be aware of the level of protection provided by the bag before you make any investment in a lock.<br />
<br />
5. Built-in Luggage Locks Are Not Secure<br />
Built In Luggage Lock<br />
<br />
This is a guiding principle more than a hard and fast rule, but it is important to think about the fact that almost any piece of luggage you buy is not going to have high-security locks. This might be something that the case claims, but you need to know better than to believe the advertising.<br />
<br />
Even if the brand of security being used is not notorious for manufacturing subpar locks, it might still be something cheap and ineffective. A lot of times locks on cases and luggage will claim to be high-security, but they are just using a novel lock type. Such lock types that are used as built-in luggage locks include tubular locks, cruciform locks, and disk detainer locks.<br />
<br />
If a lock is poorly made, it does not matter what kind of internal components it has. Poorly made locks are not secure. They break easier because of the lower quality metal, and that means they can be broken open easier. Mass production required to place them on luggage also <a href="http://lockouts.online/">lockout</a> very simple to the point where most of these locks can be opened with bypasses or improvised keys.<br />
<br />
What is the best way to protect luggage?<br />
As you may have learned from the article about protecting your beach bag, the best possible way to protect any luggage is to keep your eyes on it. This is not going to be possible at every point of your trip, especially if you have to check your bags. The important thing is to take advantage of the instances where you can watch over your property.<br />
<br />
Your locks need to take as long to open without permission as the average time you will leave them unmonitored. As has already been established, flying in the United States will be the exception to this rule. Law enforcement will have too much time with your luggage, and they will have the authority to open the lock. But for deterring criminals, this type of security assessment is a must.<br />
<br />
Final Thoughts<br />
It doesn’t matter if you are in one of the most dangerous countries in the world, or you are sleeping over at a friends house in the next town over, when you have luggage, you will attract the attention of criminals. Luggage locks are not going to do much to protect your bag. You need to consider a lot more than just luggage locks.foenix sologashvilihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15751162985010750879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167443137351836911.post-78137915261873103182018-01-11T09:07:00.003-08:002018-01-11T09:07:33.989-08:00Moultrie Mobile Wireless Field Modem MV1 (Field Review)<br /><br /><img height="320" src="http://iowahabitats.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Moultrie-Mobile-Field-Test-Feature-image.jpg" width="228" /><br /><br />Final Analysis: The <b><a href="http://moultrietrailcamera.com/moultrie-mobile-wireless-field-modem-mv1/">MOULTRIE MOBILE WIRELESS FIELD MODEM MV1</a></b> did very well overall in our 12-week, real-world field test. We give the unit an 8 out of 10.<br /><br />It’s only real weakness was a rather cheesy design for securing it with a Python-type cable (but we feel no matter what you do, a thief who really wanted something strapped to a tree is going to get it).<br /><br />Battery life was good, and we have little doubt that it would have been better had we used the suggested lithium batteries.<br /><br />The fact that every modem needs it’s own data account with Verizon means that it could get rather costly if you added very many of these units to your field-scouting arsenal, as well. (Just something to keep in mind).<br /><br />The real question to us is this: would we buy another one of these units? (We aren’t given these units, we buy them with our own cold-hard cash). And the answer is a resounding YES! These units revolutionize the way you scout using trail cameras. And we believe the wireless design is the future of trail cameras. I plan on picking up at least a couple more for next season. They keep you from scaring animals because you don’t have to barge in periodically to pull memory cards. And, perhaps most important, they let you hunt what is currently happening instead of what has happened! This means you can sneak in and hunt stands that are hot right at that very minute! A HUGE advantage for sure and one that we have taken advantage of ourselves.<br /><br /> <br />The Test:<br /><br />The Moultrie Mobile Wireless Field Modem MV1 is used to connect to a suitable Moultrie camera so that images from the camera can be transmitted electronically to be viewed on a desktop computer or mobile device.<br /><br />The camera takes the picture and, presto, the picture is pretty much immediately visible on the device!<br /><br />But does Moultrie wireless modem work?<br /><br />That is the question.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />The Moultrie Mobile Wireless Field Modem is small and lightweight at 18 ¾ ounces or 1.17 pounds (with a full set of 8-AA batteries according to my digital kitchen scale) (easy to transport)foenix sologashvilihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15751162985010750879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167443137351836911.post-3167160650805489202017-04-12T05:35:00.000-07:002017-04-12T05:35:27.675-07:0010 Ways to Make Your Company More Attractive to Investors<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://assets.entrepreneur.com/content/16x9/822/20150724185133-money-fifty-dollar-bill.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://assets.entrepreneur.com/content/16x9/822/20150724185133-money-fifty-dollar-bill.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /><br />If money will solve specific problems for your business or grow the company faster, you’re in a good place to decide if raising money is right for you. While <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/279193">raising money</a> is definitely not a quick and easy process, it can be used as a massive lever to push your business to the top. <br /><br />If raising money is something that you’re confident will take your business to the next level, here are ten ways to make yourself and your company a more attractive investment:<div>
<h2>
1. Surround yourself with experts.</h2>
<br />Being surrounded by great people is always solid advice. In this case, have an advisory board filled with mentors, coaches, <a href="https://www.startupblackbelt.com/">consultants</a> and advisors. It doesn’t matter if its formal or informal, but just having one shows that you're aware that you don’t know it all and have people that can help you see the bigger picture.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><h2>
2. Know the problem.</h2>
<br />Make sure you know the problem better than you know your proposed solution. This shows you have a deep incite into the mind of your target market and even if your solution doesn’t hit it out of the park on the first try, you’ll be able to pivot until you win.<br /><h2>
3. Be decisive.<br /> </h2>
Nothing turns investors away more than a leader that can’t decide. Make a decision, stick with it long enough to give it a chance to prove itself and move on. As the saying goes: “Be quick to decide, slow to change your mind.”<br /><h2>
4. Know the competition.<br /> </h2>
You should know the people you’re competing with. Know their strategies and make sure yours is better or different. Not every industry is a zero-sum game and even with direct competition, most companies can thrive together.<br /><h2>
5. Take the pole position.</h2>
Have a clearly defined position in the market, and be at the front of it. You can be the most accessible or the most exclusive. The do it yourself solution or the done for you solution. There are plenty of ways to position your company, just make sure you have one and own it in the market.<br /><h2>
6. Know your numbers.</h2>
Know your key metrics and put them front and center in your pitch deck.<br /><br />Shark Tank kills people for <a href="http://www.success.com/article/how-mr-wonderful-got-his-nickname">messing this up.</a> Even though investor meetings are hardly like the hit TV show, this reigns true anytime you want to ask someone for money.<br /><h2>
7. Go for the big wins.</h2>
<br />Make sure you’re only focusing on specific things that move the needle the most. If there is a specific feature that gets 80 percent of your daily users excited, make it the best it can be. If you have a pet project that customers don’t seem to care about, perhaps you should rethink its importance. Most importantly, know why these things are your biggest drivers and make sure your potential investors know it too.<br /><h2>
8. Be accessible.</h2>
<br />If someone wants to invest in you, they should be able to find you when they search. Make sure you have an attractive website with contact info. Tools like <a href="https://angel.co/">Angel List</a>, <a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/">Crunch Base</a> and <a href="http://theunicornapp.com/">Unicorn</a> should all be used to make sure you have some eyes on you and, with an app like Unicorn (think Tinder crossed with Angel List,) this is easier than ever.<br /><br />In all of your public profiles, make your founding team, your product, your tech and your positioning clear and highlight all of their unique strengths.<br /><h2>
9. Stay educated.</h2>
<br />It’s crucially important to know as much about your industry and your target market as possible. If you’re looking to build an app, take an <a href="https://www.startupblackbelt.com/free-course">online course</a> about app building. If you want to grow your SaaS product, talk with your users. Its up to you to know the latest trends, know the state of the industry and have an educated guess about where it will go<br /><h2>
10. Get in the spotlight.</h2>
<br />Have your company, or you as a founder, visible to investors in a more authoritative sense. Wherever your investors are reading, you should be mentioned. The goal would be to publish an editorial or have an article mentioned you or your company. Wherever your investors read, you want to get people talking about you, your company and the problems you solve. </div>

<br />
<br />
The increasing number of startups is related to more than the economy growing again. It’s a chicken-and-egg scenario. It's unclear which came first, the rise in startup accelerators or the number of startup founders looking for help. What we do know is that there are new accelerators and incubators popping up around the world to help these startup founders develop their ideas into viable businesses.<br />
<br />
Startup accelerators provide advice, resources, events, connections and mentoring beginning in the early stages of a startup. While some startup accelerators specialize in certain industries or technology, others are willing to assist all types of startups. Admission to an accelerator program doesn't guarantee success but it is offers help every startup founder can use. Consider one of these top accelerators when you are ready to take your startup to the next level:<br />

<a href="https://assets.entrepreneur.com/content/16x9/822/20160218132734-shutterstock-291479030.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://assets.entrepreneur.com/content/16x9/822/20160218132734-shutterstock-291479030.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
Every entrepreneur and business owner will make a few financial mistakes during their journey. Those who aren’t savvy in accounting often overlook the need to brush up on their financial IQ. Truth is, these little financial errors can lead to some serious <a href="https://www.business.com/articles/cash-flow/">cash flow problems</a> if you aren’t careful. Here are four financial mistakes you can easily avoid so you can protect your bottom line.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h2>
1. Late payments</h2>
<br />
Nobody is fond of paying bills. We tend to put them off until the last minute for short-lived peace of mind. This applies to all business owners when it comes to both your account payables and receivables.<br />
<br />
When billing your clients, it’s common to give them an extended window of time to make <a href="https://due.com/payments/">payments</a> so you can foster more sales. While your clients may appreciate the flexibility this can seriously cripple your cash flow. I generally suggest giving your clients no longer than 14 days to <a href="https://www.business.com/articles/invoice-intelligently-5-ways-to-get-paid-faster/">pay an invoice</a>. If you’re providing quality goods and services they should have no problem paying you within this time window.<br />
<br />
When it comes to paying your own bills, it’s important to follow the same principles above. This is especially the case if you’re operating off borrowed money. Paying an invoice late may result in a few unhappy emails, but when it comes to paying off your debts you need to always be on time. Even one missed payment can severely harm your credit score.<br />
<br />
The best way to stay on top of these is to use an <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/286006">online payments solution</a> that offers <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/246197">online invoicing</a> and accounting features. This way all of your bills are organized and can be accessed anywhere at anytime.<br />
<h2>
2. Forgetting to have an emergency fund</h2>
<br />
Every successful entrepreneur will probably tell you that hindsight is 20/20 and foresight is … well you just never know what’s going to happen. Every business will have to pivot and there will always be unexpected hurdles. That being said, it’s absolutely imperative that you have your contingency plan, especially when it comes to finances. I recommend that every business owner has a three-month emergency fund at least.<br />
<br />
You should start putting money away into your emergency fund as soon as the cash comes in. No matter the size of your business you should learn the art of bootstrapping and staying lean. The more money you put away, the more you’ll force yourself to get by with what you have. The majority of startups fail due to the lack of or misuse of capital. Having an emergency fund gives you a bit more runway when disaster strikes.<br />
<h2>
3. Failing to separate business funds from personal funds</h2>
<br />
This is one of the most common and dangerous pitfalls in small businesses. Small business owners often put their lives on the line for their business, literally. This is a big no-no. When starting a business it’s important to immediately separate your personal finances from your <a href="https://due.com/blog/merchant-services-can-help-stay-top-finances/">business finances</a>. If you’re like any other entrepreneur it’s going to take more than one go to be successful. That being said, you definitely don’t want a failed business to tarnish your financial reputation.<br />
<br />
Start by opening up a business bank account and apply for a business credit card to keep track of expenses. Make sure you’re only using your business credit card for <a href="https://www.sba.gov/offices/headquarters/oee/resources/3476">business expenses</a> and vice a versa. Failing to separate the two can also lead to complications around balancing accounts, filing taxes, measuring profits and even setting clear financial goals. Do yourself a favor and avoid mixing these expenses.<br />
<h2>
4. Spending too much time on non-cash-generating activities</h2>
<br />
It’s a given that you most likely won’t see an ROI on every activity you do when running a business. That being said, it’s important to distinguish which ones have the highest chance of eventually generating some cash flow. When it comes to <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/269991">time tracking</a> and time management, it’s important to pay close attention to your productivity levels.<br />
<br />
Everyone has 24 hours in a day, some decide to work smarter than others and that’s why they become successful. Know that time is your most valuable asset and treat it as such. Remember, it’s okay to say no or to turn down meetings that you know provide little to no value for your business. There’s no need to take or be present on every phone call either. Being able to identify what brings true and tangible value to your business is a key to success.<br />
<br />
Try your best to follow the 80/20 rule. There are likely three to four activities in your business that generate the most cash. Once you identify these activities, create a habit of spending 80 percent of your time doing these tasks and save the rest of your time for other miscellaneous jobs. If you’re able to get really disciplined around this strategy, it will surely pay off.<br />
