5 Excellent Cable Modems: Buy Your Own and Avoid Rental Fees

Nowadays, everyone connects to the Internet in one way or another. Whether it is by a wired connection or Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence), some sort of modem (modulator-demodulator) is used. Based on your service provider, you will be using a broadband service that comes with a cable modem, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), or Satellite. If you happen to live in an area where there is no broadband available, you can still use the much slower dialup. Cable companies charge a rental fee for using their modems. However, you can purchase a higher quality modem and avoid paying the extra charge. Just make sure you consult your service provider's list of compatible modems. I purchased an ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 which has already paid for itself. I don't like to be “nickeled and dimed”.

Smart Security Cameras: 5 Good Choices For Any Budget

We are living in a world where information is an essential part of existence. This truth is even more important when it comes to security, especially home security. If a picture can express a thousand words, then video can express millions… good video that is. The FBI reports that every 14 seconds a home is burglarized and 90% of thieves will bypass a home with a security system. Too often people get security camera systems installed and the footage is so poor that it doesn't give much evidence to go on.
A good smart security camera should be able to record sharp clear footage day or night. Don't waste you time or money on video camera systems that record footage that is useless. Here are some of the systems that offer an affordable range of security and protection.

China, Philippines Agree On One Thing In Tense Maritime Dispute

That's why the Philippines, which contests of part of the same ocean, took the case to that U.N. court in The Hague last year. The court may side with Beijing, which cites 2,000 years of historic use as a reason to dominate the South China Sea.

New Law Takes Aim At Retirement Savings; Is The Levee Breaking?

On July 1, 2016, as the new fiscal year kicked off, so did hundreds of new Maryland laws - more than 205 of them according to The Baltimore Sun. Flowing in this sea of new legislation is a law that targets the nearly one million Maryland resident workers who were previously without access to an employer-sponsored retirement savings plan. The goal of the new law, The Maryland Small Business Retirement Savings Program and Trust, is simple: to improve the retirement savings of Maryland workers by encouraging their employers to set up automatic retirement savings arrangements, or to use the new Maryland state-run IRA program. This legislation follows a string of state laws all designed to increase retirement savings of workers in small businesses. The first state to pass such legislation was Illinois, when it enacted the Illinois Secure Choice Savings Program in 2015. The roll-out of that plan is ongoing as it does not become effective until 2017. Maryland's law is important because it demonstrates a trend at the state and federal government levels to improve retirement savings by automating and mandating retirement savings.
