From packing and planning to tying up some loose ends that you may not have thought of, we’ve got you covered. Get ready: tips for decluttering, packing, and planning. 1. Grab a pen and paper. Take some time to create an inventory of your items. It may seem a bit tedious, but we promise you’ll thank us later. This will help you group things together while packing. 2. Be honest. …When was the last time you wore that sweater hanging in the back of your closet?! Moving is the perfect time to downsize and mercilessly purge your stuff.

Start by packing off-season, holiday, and any items you don’t plan on using in the near future. When it

Burglary versus robbery. You may have heard the terms used interchangeably, but they aren’t the same. They have different criteria and may even overlap from time to time. In this post, we’ll define both burglary and robbery, explain the ways that they are similar and different, and provide important statistics about each. Definitions and statistics will come primarily from from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program . Established in 1930, the UCR Program is a huge, nationwide, collaborative effort to gather crime data. More than 18,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies are eligible to voluntarily report data on crimes. The main purpose of the program is to create reliable info on crime for law enforcement, but the data is now regularly sourced by a variety of people (including criminologists, the media, students, and sociologists).

Crazy, right? Needless to say, it’s important to be cautious on days when the sun is working overtime.  Aim for mornings or evenings   During summer, the time between noon and 4:30 PM is when the temperature peaks. Try to limit outdoor activities to the morning or evening hours when it’s a bit cooler.
