Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 21, 2014

In late 2013, the FBI released the nation's annual crime statistics which included a sobering 1.4 million burglaries. In an effort to fight back, industry leaders of their field such as ADT, Door Devil and HOA-Express showcase innovative solutions in this year's Hottest Home Security Trends that illustrate how homeowners plan to stay one step ahead of criminals in 2014.

"Anti-Kick" Door Security Kits

Most homeowners would be horrified to realize less than one inch of soft wood is all that holds their deadbolt in place. Unfortunately, criminals are aware of this vulnerability. A single forceful kick easily destroys a standard doorframe and allows criminals into the home in seconds. That is why kicking the door continues to be the preferred method of entry for burglars.

In recent years, door security solutions were either too complex to install for the average DIY homeowner or were gimmicks that would never stop a 200 lb. man from kicking-in a door. However, a new generation of anti-kick doorframe reinforcement products - such as Door Devil - is earning street cred with Police and Crime Prevention professionals because of the documented accounts of thwarted burglaries. This type of solution simply affixes to the existing doorframe and can be installed in approximately 30 minutes.

While alarms are excellent burglar deterrents, they don't stop kicks. With simple and effective door security options now available to homeowners, the addition of "anti-kick" reinforcement is expected to be one of the hottest home security trends in 2014.

Home Security Automation

Without question, Home Security (Alarm) Systems are one of the most effective burglar deterrents a homeowner can implement. In 2014, the traditional alarm system is getting a facelift and early indications show the sexier version to be a big hit with homeowners.

ADT's Pulse, for instance, allows the homeowner to remotely lock doors, arm/disarm the alarm, check security cameras and adjust the thermostat. Consumers can expect fewer home security commercials with the familiar bad guy kicking the door while mom and kids huddle helplessly in the den. Instead, one is more likely to see Soccer Dad checking the "driveway cam" and turning on the porch light using his iPhone.

With technological advances in security software and the proliferation of the smart hand-held device, it is no surprise that leaders in the $3 Billion Home Security Industry have targeted Home Automation as a key area of growth. By 2019, according to Transparency Market Research, the Home Automation market is expected to grow to an estimated $16.4 Billion.

Remains of 2 people found at Rogue River ranch

Posted:2:00 AMJanuary 15, 2014

A burly 65-year-old woman allegedly murdered her former handyman and at least one other person and dismembered their bodies at her rural Rogue River farm in separate crimes over the past 17 months, authorities say.

It was the recent use of an Oregon Trail card issued to one of the suspected victims, 56-year-old Robert Haney, that brought detectives to Susan Monica's doorstep, where the grisly case began to unfold Friday, according to the Jackson County Sheriff's Department.

Investigators have found what they believe to be the remains of Haney, a handyman who family members said answered Monica's online advertisement for work, and an unidentified second person at Monica's 20-acre ranch off West Evans Creek Road, according to the sheriff's department.

Investigators continue to comb the property for more evidence, including the possibility of other victims, and the search of the property could drag on for several days, if not weeks, sheriff's detectives said.

There was no direct evidence of other victims, "but we can't rule that out at this time," sheriff's Detective Julie Denney said.

Denney said investigators believe they know the identity of the second victim but declined to disclose any more information, including whether the victim was male or female.

Woman, 65, alledgedly dismembered two bodies

It's a neat idea, sure, but don't expect 3D printers to replace builders, bricks and mortar any time soon.

Pictures of 3D-printed houses keep popping up in the news. I've written about three such projects before forWired, including Enrico Dini's impressiveD-Shape, a gantry large enough that it can print out gazebos. There are other examples of such systems under development that work on similar principles, like Contour Crafting at the University of Southern California, or FreeForm Construction at Loughborough University. Nasa is even working on robots that may be able to construct bases on the Moon by melting moon dust into blocks and walls using lasers.

It's not a wacky gimmick, in theory. Developing societies across the world struggle to cope with the demands of urbanisation: China's urbanisation ratewill reach 60 percentby 2015; a 2007 UN reportfoundthat between 2000 and 2030 sub-Saharan Africa's urban population could be expected to double, whileat least 72 percentof the urban population was living in slums. A way to quickly produce homes that are more livable than slum shacks would be a valuable tool in combating poverty. (And as for moon bases, laser sintering is a much better idea that flying concrete all the way up there.)

These printers are, basically, scaled-up versions of desktop models, and they work the same way - a nozzle, on some kind of robotic arm, is programmed to follow a design which separates a three-dimensional objects into a number of two-dimensional slices. Thin layer upon thin layer of material (usually plastic on desktop, usually concrete in construction) goes down until it's built up the full object.

Anything that'll spurt out of a nozzle and set hard will work, but some materials are better than others for different uses - chocolate's great for 3D-printing food, for example. For buildings, the normal material (or "aggregate") is usually a kind of concrete. The nozzle moves back and forth, laying down material for the first layer, then it moves up (say, 5mm, or 10mm) and lays the next layer, and the next, through to the very top. Voila, a house.

The problems that researchers are having with scaling 3D printing up to the scale of houses should be pretty obvious - concrete isn't very strong on its own. A house that's 3D-printed might stay up (and some of Dini's structures are certainly impressive) but they're nothing on concrete houses built with such boring, traditional things like reinforcing rebar. Even a wooden frame is better, because then there's the possibility of having a second floor.

Nevertheless, these systems are generally said to be able to build the frame of the house in roughly two days at top speed if you're after something like a small bungalow, or maybe doing 20 or so larger buildings a year. And, because the walls and so on are done in one go, there's the potential to design certain things into the structure - like routes for ducts, or piping and wiring routes - that are fiddly, and have to be attached to a building's frame during a normal construction.

That's quite important, as the things that take up most of the time when building small homes is the fiddly, small stuff - wiring, windows, fixtures, fittings, plastering, that sort of thing. It's also quite cheap - again, in theory. There's just a problem in that it acts a replacement for the bit that's already quite cheap and quick when it comes to building homes. In rapid-build affordable housing projects the fiddly stuff could be cut back on, but that would be somewhat self-defeating.

There's quite an illustrative lesson from history that we can rely on here. Architect Wallace Neff was famous in the 1920s as a designer of mansions for the stars of Hollywood, and became instrumental in developing southern California's distinctive architectural style. However, in the later stages of career he tried to turn his hand to the problem of affordable housing. America's post-WII population boom demanded cheap housing that could be built quickly.

His solution, inspired by the resilience of bubbles of shaving foam in his bathroom sink, were "bubble houses" - concrete homes (using low-density, high-strength concrete called gunite), built by spraying a mix of water and cement at high speed over a large balloon. In 48 hours the concrete would be dry, the balloon could be deflated and dragged out of the front door, and there would be a perfectly solid and large building, ready to be used as a home.
