Research has revealed that 53% of children charge their phone or tablet either on their bed or under their pillow. This is can be extremely dangerous. The heat generated cannot dissipate and the charger will become hotter and hotter. The likely result is that the pillow/bed will catch fire –placing the child (as well as everyone else in the property) in great danger.
Think....where do you & your family charge your moblie phone?

Hey all, just a little tidbit from a cyber-security guy who's in one of my business groups....you know all those surveys on social media...you know, the where should I be living, or Who is my real jam...do not respond to these. Many of them ask random questions, then will sneak in a question like, "what was the color of your first car" or Name the street on which you grew up. These might seem harmless enough, but many of these are "security question" answers to your online accounts and banking. Hackers will slowly fish for this info until they have enough to strike. Do not respond to them.
