An internet-connected gadget might seem like a great Christmas gift
but be sure it doesn’t open your home to a hacker attack. High-tech
dolls, internet-connected baby monitors and even refrigerators or crock
pots that use WiFi can be infected. Experts say before you buy check to
see if you can set your own password for these devices. Source Link
Food
safety isn’t just important for your meals - it also matters when you
serve your dog or cat. Pet food can harbor bacteria and you should
always wash your hands after handling it. Keep pet food in the original
bag and sealed in a plastic container and gather it with a clean scoop
and not the bowl. And throw away food that’s been left out if your pet
doesn’t eat it. Source Link
More
people donate to charities during the holiday season so now’s the time
to consider the best way to give. Go beyond the name and use a website like CharityNavigator.org for information or go to the charity’s own web site
to be sure their mission fits your interests. And use a website like GiveWell.org that ranks the most effective charities. Source Link
