Most people imagine volcanoes as scary gigantic mountains covered with blazing-hot magma and erupting ash. But in fact, more than 80 percent volcanoes on our planet are situated on the seabed, and there creatures that live on their bottoms. Are you ready to meet these scary real-life monsters? If you have a look at the underwater volcano situated about two miles below the surface, the conditions there will terrify you, if not kill you. The pressure of water is enormous, the water itself contains many heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide - poisonous, flammable, and corrosive gas, and other toxic substances. Despite these hostile surroundings, more than 400 species live around the volcanoes. In the Arctic Ocean, far away from any traces of civilization, in ice-cold dark waters, there are five active volcanoes. But unlike typical volcanoes, these formations spew out methane gas and warm mud. They are mud volcanoes. In 2013, a multinational group of scientists decided to research the mud volcanoes in the Beaufort Sea using the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Soon the first results were ready: the mud volcanoes turned out to be real giants, 650 to 1200 yards across and as high as 100 ft. The slopes and the tops of the mud volcanoes are covered with colonies of tube worms. They grow slowly, and it may take them from 170 to 250 years to reach such length. Tube worms are exceptionally long-lived. Today, scientists are more worried about the Yellowstone Supervolcano. The formation got its name due to its power to produce unbelievably violent eruptions. The crater of this volcano is 34 by 45 miles in size. And the destructive force of the volcano is so huge that according to scientists' calculations, 90,000 people would die instantly as soon as the volcano erupted. Scientists have many equipment set all over the National Park and they assure people that were the volcano to erupt, they would be able to predict this weeks in advance and evacuate those in immediate danger.

They form around vents in Earth's surface which release gas. -In 2013, a multinational group of scientists decided to research the mud volcanoes in the Beaufort Sea using the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier. -The Beaufort Sea worms spend their life in the complete darkness and have no stomach, anus, or eyes. Their food is gases released by the volcano. -Yellowstone Supervolcano got its name due to its power to produce unbelievably violent eruptions. The crater of this volcano is 34 by 45 miles in size.

Homing instinct in cats 9:45 #cats #catfacts #catlovers Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - The Mesopotamians and ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats. Since these cultures were dependent on agriculture, the enemies of their livelihood were the animals that ate their crops. - Since Egyptians thought of cats so highly, they accessorized their pets with jewels. The richer and more aristocratic the owner, the bigger the jeweled collar their cat wore. - In ancient Egypt, anyone found guilty of killing a cat, even accidentally, was sentenced to death. - Egyptians thought that Bastet manifested physically as a cat and protected Egypt from invasion, just like a cat protects its owner’s home. - In Slavic mythology, it was believed that a barn cat named Ovinnik was the protector of crops and livestock. - It was only around the Middle Ages when cat folklore turned dark. During this time, cats were thought to be accomplices of witches and black magic. - You’ve likely heard about the knack cats have for always landing on their feet no matter how far they fall. This is called a “righting reflex,” - Cats can’t taste sweet foods, but they do have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents in the air. Apparently, that’s why they stare at you sometimes with their mouths open! - Cats have outstanding balance that’s only made better by their long tails. - Cats are carnivores, which (aside from cleaning themselves) is why they have that rough sandpaper tongue. It’s supposed to help them clean every last morsel of flesh from an animal bone. - Cats can drink seawater. Unlike humans, cats have kidneys that can filter out the salt from seawater. - The ridges on a cat’s noses are like fingerprints for people. That means that no two kitty noses are exactly alike! - Cats purr at a frequency of about 26 purrs per second.

They are rich in vitamin B, which affects the production of energy in the cells in your body. - Beef contains much more protein than other types of meat. Beef is rich in vitamin E, B12, and zinc, which is useful for activating the production of the growth hormone, somatropin. - Red and orange vegetables such as carrots, red bell pepper, pumpkin, and tomatoes contain a significant amount of Vitamin A. - Recent studies have shown that the components contained in walnuts can strengthen bone tissue. - Any seafood, especially shellfish, is an excellent food for increasing height. It contains a lot of energy vitamins, for example, B12. - Oily fish contains vitamin A that is the most important growth stimulant. - Honey consists of simple sugars, which your body can absorb quickly. Honey gives you a lot of energy and does not affect your insulin level. - In case you have some diseases – for example, diabetes – it’s better to avoid milk. However, if you have no problems with health, you can drink 2 to 3 glasses of milk a day to accelerate growth. - Bananas are one of the best food to increase height. The vitamins and efficient compounds within them always guard your body. - Oatmeal is the best product for increasing height. It consists of all the main components and minerals that help you grow and give you a lot of energy. - Alcohol is the primary factor that prevents growth, as well as smoking. A lot of studies on this subject have proven it, and the best option is to avoid these two completely. - Sweet carbonated drinks contain orthophosphoric acid that is the most powerful acidifier for your body. - You should exclude foods that contain synthetic protein from your diet. Fast food and chips also knock down your hormonal system that can inhibit growth.

Sometimes we do something weird and then think, ‘What was the logic of my behavior?’ Was it there? In fact, there’s always some logic, but most often it hides in certain peculiarities of your mind. The human psyche is a pro at hiding its own secrets. Scientists have been working for years to understand everything about the mind and brain, yet there’s still so much left to find out. But you don't necessarily have to be an expert in psychology to understand what's going on in other people's heads and use it to your advantage. There are some psychological tips that work on a subconscious level that help you win another person's trust, get somebody's approval, and relax when you’re stressed out. Watch the video till the end to understand why we always want something that is impossible to achieve and why we act one way or another! TIMESTAMPS: Who people look at when they're laughing 1:04 Constant changing of your memories 2:09 How to get any information you need 4:42 Clustering illusion 7:15 The secret of a small mirror 8:29 The Kuleshov Effect 11:28 How much time you spend in La-la Land 12:11 "Body Negative" 13:52 What 3 things you can't NOT notice 14:10 Survivorship Bias 15:30 Hard-to-Reach Effect 17:32 The Fear of Beauty 19:30 #psychologicaltricks #readpeople #psychologyhacks Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: - After a good joke or in the middle of an interesting discussion, every person instinctively looks at the person they like the most. This is because they want to make sure that the object of their desires approves of and shares their sense of humor. - People often imagine their memories like short films or video clips. You store them somewhere in the attic of your brain, and they stay there collecting dust and never changing. But this isn't exactly true. - If you don't like the answer someone has given you, or it seems like they’re not telling you the whole story, just keep staring at them. - If you have to talk to a lot of people at work, hang a small mirror behind your desk. You’ll be surprised that many people will be more polite and ready to meet you halfway in negotiations. This is because nobody likes to see themselves angry or annoyed. - The effect when a viewer, after seeing two unrelated frames, unconsciously makes up a logical connection between them is called the Kuleshov effect. - Scientists from the University of California are saying that every single day people spend 30% of their time in La-la Land. - "Body negative" is a condition where a person thinks they’re ugly, and this is why their personal life is a fail. And their whole life is a fail. Most often such people are attractive, and the problem is more about self-esteem than real flaws. - You can't NOT notice 3 things: food, sex, and danger - Most often we judge a situation only by successful people ("survivors"), and that’s why we know just one side of it. - Roughly speaking, this is the phenomenon telling that the hard-to-reach is always more desirable. Even if we look at it from a human level: closed, high-status, "no-one-knows-what’s-on-their-mind" people always seem more attractive than others. - Some people feel excessive tension next to beautiful people: excitement, double control of one’s actions, the desire to save face, and fear of comparison. Such stress doesn’t arise next to an average person.

How to understand you're suffering from depression? How to get rid of depression which is a serious health condition that can’t be ignored? Depression is a serious matter that, unfortunately, doesn’t get talked about enough. Simply feeling a little sad can make us think that we're depressed, but that's not always the case…or is it? Let's find out what signs are hinting that you might actually be suffering from “the plague of the 21st century”.

How to Stay Healthy. We all have moments when we absolutely can’t head to the bathroom straight away even though our bodies are warning us it’s time to go. You can try and hold it in, but is that really safe to do? How much can your bladder hold? And what will happen if you don’t go when you have to? Let’s find the answers to all these sensitive questions together. TIMESTAMPS How much can the average bladder hold? 0:48 How does your body know when it needs to go? 1:38 Is it safe to hold in your pee? 3:13 Can holding it in lead to urinary tract infections? 5:10 Can holding in too much pee kill you? 6:14 What should you do if you really need to hold your pee? 7:49 #holdpee #peecolor Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -If you’re a healthy adult, your bladder can hold up to 2 cups, or 16 ounces, of urine. -Your bladder is smart and careful enough to turn on the nerves that send the first signals to your brain when it’s just half full. The brain then sends a signal back, telling your bladder to hold it until there’s a bathroom in sight. -Emptying your bladder is a pretty important biological process. Your kidneys work as filters that take excess water and waste out of your blood. -If you hold it in for a long time just once, it’s not like you’re gonna instantly trigger a UTI or anything. However, if you keep doing that on a daily basis, the risk does increase since you’re basically breeding bacteria inside. -When overfilled, the bladder can literally burst when it’s already damaged by some serious condition, like a pelvic injury. Heavy drinking can also lead to this disaster since alcohol can make your body ignore the important signals from the brain. -Try to distract it with some engaging activity. Crossword puzzles and games will do. You can also try to relax and get your thoughts off the bathroom by listening to music.

Do you have any sleep troubles? World-famous athletes owe a lot of their success not only to their intense training but also to their sleep coaches! That's right, getting proper sleep is crucial for their performance, and they can certainly teach us all a thing or two about it. For example, even if you don’t consider yourself a necessarily light sleeper, experts still recommend using earplugs. It’s often unexpected minor noises that interrupt our sleep and lower its quality, so a simple pair of earplugs can really come in handy. When choosing earplugs, remember to check their noise reduction rating. If you want them to block most sounds, go for the highest rating there is, which is 39 decibels. TIMESTAMPS: Set a schedule based on sleep cycles 0:47 Try to sleep on your side or back 1:50 Set the appropriate temperature in your room 3:02 Invest in good bedding 3:36 Make your bedroom as dark as possible 4:24 Eat the right food 5:07 Use earplugs 6:11 Resolve your stress 6:51 #sleepproblems #insomnia #goodsleep Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - Sleep is usually measured in 1.5-hour cycles because that’s how much time your body needs to pass through all stages of sleep and restore itself completely. The best solution for adults is to sleep for at least 5 cycles through the night, which equals 7½ hours of rest. - Sleeping on your right side is one of the best sleep positions for your heart. It improves cardiac performance, reduces shortness of breath and palpitations, and lowers your heart rate. - The National Sleep Foundation suggests keeping your bedroom temperature at about 60-67°F. That’s because our body temperature naturally decreases to initiate sleep, and this room temperature range helps boost this important process. - The National Sleep Foundation reminds us that most mattresses have a lifespan of 8 years. If yours is much older than that, you should definitely start looking for a replacement. - Turn off the lights, close your curtains, and try to cover up all illuminated displays and buttons on your electronic devices. Achieving as much darkness as possible will help you successfully go through all stages of sleep and wake up feeling fresh as a daisy! - When you consume caffeine or fatty dishes that are high in sugar, your body temperature rises since it takes a long time for your system to digest that stuff. Of course, a higher body temperature is not what you want when it comes to sleeping. - No matter how great your mattress and pillow are, if you're feeling worried or stressed, you won't be able to sleep. So the solution is simple: try to calm down and relax before going to bed. One of the best ones is meditation!

How to look taller? A petite stature has its advantages. For instance, you always look younger than your actual age. But there are drawbacks as well: you need to carefully choose your clothes and accessories because an unsuccessful combination can easily "shorten" your figure and deprive it of its gracefulness. The editors of Bright Side asked top stylists for advice on how to properly accentuate a petite stature and checked out their recommendations with the help of a charming model.

TIMESTAMPS: Tops and skirts 0:52 Belts and shoes 1:34 Jackets and blazers 2:12 Cardigans 2:58 Dresses 3:33 Contrasts and monochromes 4:03 Jeans and tops 4:35 SUMMARY: - It’s better to wear the top tucked into the skirt as this will highlight the waist, lengthen the legs, and make your figure slender and more fragile. - When it comes to shoes, clashing colors or bulkiness can make your legs appear much shorter. If you like wearing shoes or sandals that buckle at the ankle, the straps should match the tone of your skin. - Petite girls shouldn’t wear large or elongated jackets, suits, or blazers. They visibly shorten the legs and make the silhouette blurred and unwieldy. - Long cardigans present an easy solution to adding a few inches to your height without the help of high heels. Such clothing does a perfect job of creating that all-important uninterrupted vertical line, which visibly enhances your stature. - Voluminous dresses look best only on tall girls. When worn by miniature beauties, they press the wearer’s figure down to the ground, shortening your silhouette and, in particular, your legs. - Contrasting colors in clothing, such as a bright top and dark bottoms, separate the figure in half, creating a horizontal boundary line that emphasizes your lack of height.

If someone says, "Let's go out to eat!" and everybody agrees, that means everyone pays for themselves. - In a packed elevator, the people standing nearest to the doors are supposed to step outside at all the stops in order to let people exit. - Wherever a woman decides to sit, the man should open her door for her and help her get out of the car. - The rules of etiquette have decided that it’s worse to put your rear end in their face, so go to your seat while facing the other people sitting.

What can be bad for your pets? What is harmful to them? 🐶🐱 A lot of people make some serious mistakes in their pet care that can lead to all kinds of health problems and even a shorter lifespan. So let’s see what major no-nos you should avoid and what you should do instead! TIMESTAMPS: Not being picky about food 0:56 Rarely taking pets to the vet 1:45 Allowing pets access to open doors and windows 2:14 Not spaying or neutering 2:50 Neglecting grooming and dental hygiene 3:27 Neglecting bath time or doing it incorrectly 4:21 Giving your pets table food 5:12 Not giving enough attention 5:38 Not checking their collar 6:13 Keeping a dog cooped up all the time 6:50 Parakeets 7:30 Guinea pigs 8:03 #dog #pet #understandyourdog Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: - Always read the label first before choosing a brand. It shouldn’t contain any flavoring agents, corn, or GMOs. - Don’t neglect regular visits to the vet, even if your furry friends hate you for it! This is the only way to prevent diseases and catch any sort of problems before they get too serious. - Unless you have a fenced-in yard that’s regularly treated to kill any parasites, your pets shouldn’t have open access to the street. - Vets do recommend spaying and neutering your animals because it actually helps them live long and happy lives. - Start brushing their teeth at an early age so that they get used to the process. They make special toothbrushes and pastes for animals that you can get at any pet store. - Bathing is a necessity when it comes to pets. Cats, of course, are a little more self-sufficient when it comes to staying clean, so they don’t really need to be washed. - All vets agree that giving your pet “people food” is a terrible idea. Your pet’s digestive system simply can’t handle most of the stuff we humans eat. - Pets need socialization and human interaction to develop physically, emotionally, and socially. Otherwise they can become easily scared, aggressive, and disobedient. - So be sure to check if their collar is too tight from time to time. For cats and small breed dogs, you should be able to slip one finger between their collar and skin. - Dogs of all ages and breeds should have enough time outside to move around, interact with other dogs, and be free to explore. - Don’t keep parakeets locked up in their cage constantly. Birds need physical activity and some kind of entertainment.

Thousands of years ago great minds managed to create incredible technologies that were way ahead of their time, like a fire that couldn’t be extinguished by water, an unbreakable medieval sword, and even an ancient computer from 200 B.C.E.! You’d be surprised to find out what crazy inventions existed back then that science still can’t explain today. If you’re ready to learn more about these mind-blowing ancient inventions plus a whole lot more, then keep on watching. TIMESTAMPS The stone globes of Costa Rica 0:59 The Roman dodecahedron 3:16 The Phaistos Disk in Crete 4:48 Greek fire 6:14 Damascus steel 7:31 The Iron pillar of Delhi 8:37 The Viking Ulfberht sword 10:11 The Voynich manuscript 11:56 The Zhang Heng seismograph 14:06 The Antikythera mechanism 15:12 #oldtechnology #damascucsteel #viking Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -Granodiorite rocks can easily be carved using temperature techniques. Hundreds of stone spheres were found quarried in the foothills of the Talamanca Mountains. Researchers even saw a gigantic ball weighing over 16 tons. -The Roman dodecahedron had 12 flat pentagon-shaped faces with a knob protruding on each corner. It might have been a dice, a kid’s toy, a candle holder, a simple decoration, a measuring device on the battlefield, or an astronomical instrument, to name a few. -The Phaistos Disk was made from clay and measures about 6.2 inches in diameter. Experts concluded that it was a prayer to an ancient Minoan goddess. -The formula of Greek fire was a well-guarded state secret for over 7 centuries. Greek fire was used in naval warfare. -Blades made from Damascus steel were the most sought after in medieval Europe. And that’s because they were the best swords at the time. -The Iron pillar of Delhi dates back to the Gupta period, which lasted from about 240 to 590 C.E. A small amount of rust has started to form, but it is strange that there isn’t more. -Viking Ulfberht swords are believed to have been made around 800 to 1,000 C.E., but experts were sure that the technology used to make swords of such extraordinary quality didn’t come around until 800 years later. -The Voynich manuscript has 240 pages broken up into four sections: herbal, astrological, balneological, and pharmacological. There have literally been dozens of failed attempts to crack this thing. -In 132 C.E., Zhang Heng, a Chinese inventor, astronomer, engineer, scientist, scholar, and artist, invented a seismoscope and presented it to the Han court as an instrument for measuring seasonal winds and the Earth’s movements. -The Antikythera mechanism was retrieved by a group of divers in 1900 and has been dubbed “the world’s first analog computer” and it was made around 200 B.C.E.

What would happen if you quit showering for a year? While there hasn’t been much experimentation on this subject, scientists do still know some consequences of this dirty decision. So let’s find out exactly what they are! The good news is that it won't kill you. So, there’s that. The bad news is that you definitely won't be a happy camper in the end or along the way. Without proper exfoliation, your skin will quickly become either super oily or really dry. And it doesn't matter which one it's gonna be, both imbalances lead to an overgrowth of yeast and bacteria. According to Dr. Carolyn Jacob, the director of Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, the oiliest parts of your body, such as your armpits, behind your ears, and so on, would slowly collect dirt and pollutants. Let’s keep this nasty snowball going. The next major trouble you’ll face is that you'd become way more prone to different types of infections. Since washing your hair and scalp come along with showering, then prepare yourself for some major itching on your head. As for a whole year without washing your face in the shower, your face would be covered in zits! And, of course, where there’s bacteria and broken skin, there can be infections and health problems, so it’s not just all about aesthetics here. There’s actually a guy named Rob Greenfield who went a whole year without showering. According to the experts, there are a couple of tips that you should follow in order to shower the right way. Make sure the water temperature is not too hot because hot water will suck the moisture from your skin by removing a lot of your natural oils. Long showers can dry out your skin as well. Having two or three showers a day will do the same thing, so it's not that great of an idea either. Instead of lathering up your entire body, it's better to just stick to the areas with a bunch of sweat glands, such as your armpits, groin, underneath the breasts, and wherever else you tend to sweat a lot.

You’d be scratching your scalp nonstop. -The oily sebum on your face would just keep building up along with bacteria. Your pores would get all clogged up with this nasty gunk, and there you go, you’d have new pimples popping up left and right. -It'll take at least a week for the skin to return to its normal state. -Ron says that it made him reconsider a lot of his life choices and that he came out a much happier person in the end. -Go with lukewarm water. Don’t shower for longer than 10 minutes. Avoid over-soaping and use moisturizer after.

We don’t realize that even little things can give away our true essence. A lot of the things you do instinctively, as well as our preferences, say a lot about your true personality. Your everyday habits can reveal surprising things about yourself! Don't take it way too seriously, just have fun and watch the video! TIMESTAMPS Shopping 0:54 The desire to wear a watch 1:55 What your eating habits say about you 2:52 What words you use in everyday life 3:46 What music you like 4:55 Household chores 6:15 Art 7:19 SUMMARY - Shopping is a big part of every person's life, whether you like it or hate it. And, surprisingly, the way you shop can tell a lot about your personality! Most buyers can be divided into two types. The first ones actively study labels and require as much detail as possible before buying something. - People who wear a watch might be introverted but emotionally stable, whereas those who don’t wear one are less emotionally stable. Those of us, who can't leave their house without a watch, can be considered more reserved. Others, who don't really like this small accessory, are often way more open. - It is believed that impulsive, less open, and less conscientious people prefer sweet wine and very rarely eat fruit. Those, who prefer dry wine and gladly include fruit in their diet are more likely to be open, calmer, and more conscientious. - Anxious and emotionally unstable people usually use words related to negative emotions. It seems like quite a solid point after you read for example some widely and unnecessary negative comments online. Extroverts, on the other hand, prefer words that describe positive emotions. - The kind of music you like to listen to can tell others about the peculiarities of your psyche because the music you listen to has a long-term effect on the brain. It's commonly believed that people who prefer sad or aggressive music to express their emotions are usually restless and nervous. - People who are happy to iron things, wash dishes, and play with children are easier to communicate with than those who don’t like chores. The explanation for this is easy - for the first type, the happiness of others is important. Therefore, they prefer to work around the house rather than moan about domestic trifles. - People who like poetry, go to the opera or are engaged in art themselves are more sociable and open to everything new, unlike those who ignore art. The “artsy” people tend to be more accepting and open-minded about life in general. People with other hobbies and interests are often more straightforward and confident.

Good sources of protein are red meat and poultry, eggs, whole grains. Salmon is high in calories and healthy fats. - Diet on vegetables and fruits. Choose them smartly though: vegetables with calories are much better than watery ones. Choose avocado, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. Fruits like bananas, blueberries, grapes, and mangoes can give you calories and fiber. - The basis of your training should consist of squats, deadlifts, presses, and push-ups. These train multiple muscles and familiar to all. If you see the progress in weight gain in a week or two, feel free to add in other exercises. Cardio strengthens your heart and burns chubby belly fat. - Be strongly committed to what you started and remember why you did. We advise you track your success.

So let’s see what major no-nos you should avoid and what you should do instead! TIMESTAMPS: Not being picky about food 0:56 Rarely taking pets to the vet 1:45 Allowing pets access to open doors and windows 2:14 Not spaying or neutering 2:50 Neglecting grooming and dental hygiene 3:27 Neglecting bath time or doing it incorrectly 4:21 Giving your pets table food 5:12 Not giving enough attention 5:38 Not checking their collar 6:13 Keeping a dog cooped up all the time 6:50 Parakeets 7:30 Guinea pigs 8:03 #dog #pet #understandyourdog Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: - Always read the label first before choosing a brand. It shouldn’t contain any flavoring agents, corn, or GMOs. - Don’t neglect regular visits to the vet, even if your furry friends hate you for it! This is the only way to prevent diseases and catch any sort of problems before they get too serious. - Unless you have a fenced-in yard that’s regularly treated to kill any parasites, your pets shouldn’t have open access to the street. - Vets do recommend spaying and neutering your animals because it actually helps them live long and happy lives. - Start brushing their teeth at an early age so that they get used to the process. They make special toothbrushes and pastes for animals that you can get at any pet store. - Bathing is a necessity when it comes to pets. Cats, of course, are a little more self-sufficient when it comes to staying clean, so they don’t really need to be washed. - All vets agree that giving your pet “people food” is a terrible idea. Your pet’s digestive system simply can’t handle most of the stuff we humans eat. - Pets need socialization and human interaction to develop physically, emotionally, and socially. Otherwise they can become easily scared, aggressive, and disobedient. - So be sure to check if their collar is too tight from time to time. For cats and small breed dogs, you should be able to slip one finger between their collar and skin. - Dogs of all ages and breeds should have enough time outside to move around, interact with other dogs, and be free to explore. - Don’t keep parakeets locked up in their cage constantly. Birds need physical activity and some kind of entertainment. They’re social creatures and need at least 30 minutes a day of games and communication. - A very important thing you should keep in mind when buying a guinea pig is that it needs plenty of room to move around. A cage that’s too small will detrimentally affect the quality of life and health of your piggie!

How to know if your house is being watched by burglars? Many people protect their homes. Some choose alarms; others rely on strong doors with complex locks. Some go even further by installing security cameras, LED lights, smart locks, and high-tech security gadgets. But even the most observant people don’t always notice that robbers have already started to watch their home and are waiting for the right moment to make a move. Pay attention to details that can be connected with theft, even if they seem trivial at first sight. In today’s video, we’ve prepared a list of signs that should help you stay alert. TIMESTAMPS: Missing garbage 1:24 The disappearance of your dog 2:20 An empty gas tank 3:06 A new janitor 3:57 A broken window 4:37 Problems with lights 5:22 Ads and stickers 6:03 Strange marks 7:24 Calls from unknown numbers 8:10 A broken lock 9:03 SUMMARY: - You should make it a rule and a habit to always tear up papers with personal information into small pieces before throwing them away. - Dogs guarding a house are a burden for robbers. That’s why they may try to get rid of the “guardian” by drawing it outside when the owners are not at home. - To prevent their potential victims from coming home earlier, robbers may drain the gasoline from their car. In the worst-case scenario, you won’t be able to get to a gas station, which means you’ll get back home even later. - If you use the services of a cleaning company and you always see the same worker, the appearance of a new cleaner should worry you. Be extra cautious if the company itself didn’t inform you of the change in personnel. - Some criminals may throw stones at a car or house window to check if the owners are at home and whether the alarm works. - If you live in a private house and there are lanterns with motion sensors installed in your yard, check them immediately if they appear to be malfunctioning. - Commercial flyers are annoying pieces of trash, but little did you know that they can be used against you. Robbers mark easily accessible homes with the help of commercial flyers and simple stickers. - Erase any suspicious marks that appear on the door of your home, on garden lanterns, or simply near your home. - To find out at what time the owners of a home are absent, robbers call the home phone and drop a call. If a small child picks up the phone, robbers can try to get some information from them. - A malfunctioning lock or scratches on a door are signs that somebody has tried to get into your house.
