Nanny Cams. A Toy for the Voyeur, or a Necessity for Every Parent?

John and Melissa were enjoying their dinner at a local restaurant. It was the first time in six months that they had gone anywhere without their newborn baby.

Melissa spoke up, "I hope we did the right thing, leaving our baby alone with the new nanny". In a calm voice John replied, "Honey, it's been a long sleepless six months. We deserve this night out. And besides, I'm sure our nanny is qualified to take care of our little girl for one night".

"You're right" Melissa said, "let's just enjoy this dinner". But a few moments later Melissa's cell phone rang; in a panicked voice Melissa said to John "WE HAVE TO GO NOW! SOMETHINGS HAPPENED TO OUR BABY! without hesitation, they flagged down the waiter, paid their bill and headed for home as fast as they could.

When they arrived home, their nanny explained that the baby had rolled off the couch and hit her head on an end table. She seemed O.K. but I called the doctor anyway, said the nanny. Hes on his way over here right now.

With suspicion running through her mind, and not knowing what to believe, Melissa immediately went to her bedroom and turned on the monitor to her DVR (Digital video Recorder). Weeks earlier, Melissa had purchased a hidden nanny cam disguised as a teddy bear, after hearing a story in the news about an abusive babysitter. In a few seconds she had her answer, the baby did just roll off the couch. That didnt make it ok, but Melissa wanted to trust her new nanny and now she felt a little more certain that she could.

It is always difficult for a parent to turn over the care of a child to someone else, and every parent who does so has concerns. Hidden cameras are one way of alleviating some of that worry.

Nanny Cams are just another name for hidden cameras. They are usually disguised as part of the dcor in a room. These days, technology allows us to create cameras that are small enough to fit into many everyday items, such as stuffed animals, flowerpots, and even kitchen appliances.

Nanny cams have become very popular in recent years for good reason. With the rise in domestic violence against children, you dont have to be paranoid to want to keep an eye on things while youre away. There have been many news stories centered on hidden cameras that have recorded a caregiver in the act of abusing a child.

Nanny cams are not only small and discreet, but they are also becoming more affordable than ever before, so you can purchase more than one to maintain surveillance in multiple rooms of your home.

With a DVR (Digital video Recording) system, youll be able to monitor and record all of your hidden cameras from one central location.

Experts say it is generally legal to use a hidden camera that records video without the consent of the nanny. However, the laws vary from state to state on whether you can record audio. Before taping conversation without consent from your nanny, check the laws in your state.

To protect your nannys privacy, and to make the best use of your nanny cams, only place hidden cameras where she will be interacting with your child. Never place nanny cams in bathrooms or private bedrooms. This would be considered as voyeurism and in most states you could be charged with of invasion of privacy.

Nanny cams have many uses other than just monitoring nannies or caregivers.

Nanny cams can also be used for watching over your child while they are sleeping, monitoring them while they are playing alone or monitoring your older teenager while they are home alone with friends.

Hidden cameras have also been used to catch cheating spouses in the act, and they are very popular with private investigators and law enforcement agencies that use them for covert operations.

Even if you do not suspect any type of abuse or misconduct from your child, nanny or spouse, the peace of mind in knowing there is not a problem is well worth the cost of the camera.

A Perfect Golf Swing Completely Controls The Flight Of The Ball

The flight of the golf ball is totally controllable by the impact of the club face and the ball.

For a straight shot the club face must be square to the flight line, traveling straight down said line and have the desired amount of loft as the ball is impacted. The ball must also be struck directly on the sweet spot of the club face and as if that is not enough we need a goodly amount of club head speed to get that perfectly straight flying golf shot.

For many years golf instructors have said that the straight flying shot is the hardest shot in golf to hit since it requires all of the above factors. Due to that most top players either favor a fade or a draw to eliminate erring one way or the other.

This generally works, but sometimes the curvature is either too much, perhaps not enough or still worse a double cross where the intended shot does the opposite of what was planned.

When the golf swing incorporates a rolling over action of the forearms this intentional curvature is definitely needed.

However when the forearms do not roll over through impact it is no harder to hit a straight shot than any other type of shot. As a matter of fact it has long been known that the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line.

Maximum ball compression can only be had with a true straight shot. Any error in path or club face angle at impact lessens said compression. The more compression we lose the more distance we lose for any given club head speed, in other words we can gain substantial distance through perfect club ball contact.

To that end here are the ball flight rules that determine the power, accuracy and shape of the shot.

Straight shot- club face square, traveling straight down the target line with proper loft. The ball will only carry back spin and have no side spin.

Fade- The fade is caused by a club face that is either open to the flight line as the club head travels straight down the flight line or a club face that is square to the flight line but not traveling straight down the flight line and coming from outside it before impact to inside it after impact. The ball will carry a combination of back spin and side spin.

Draw- The draw is the exact reverse of the fade.

Slice- The slice is simply a larger version of the fade, and is often caused by not rolling the forearms to square or a severe out to in club head path. This out to in club head path may also have an open club face creating an even bigger slice.

Hook- The exact reverse of the slice.

Now that you know what causes the curvature you are halfway to fixing it.
