Erik J. Martin | Bankrate.com (TNS)Here’s an alarming thought: a burglary occurs every 25.7 seconds, equating to around 3,300 per day, per FBI Crime Data. Those kinds of numbers are enough to give anyone pause, whether you own your own home or rent. Fortunately, Americans can turn to home security systems for better peace of mind against break-ins – with more products and options available today than ever before.That begs the question: How much does a home security system cost? “On average, home security systems cost $700, not including installation costs if needed. However, the price can range anywhere from $280 to $1,150, depending on the security system you choose,” Mallory Micetich, a home expert with Angi, says. With installation, the price can mount to $2,000, according to Angi. Highly elaborate systems, with full-time professional monitoring, can run as high as $4,500, Fixr.com figures show.This level of protection won’t break your bank, but some options are more expensive th...Officials say jet crash in Russia kills 10.

It’s a time of celebrating organ donation and educating people about transplantation by encouraging donor registration and promoting healthy living.Dr. Shennen Mao, a Mayo Clinic transplant surgeon, says having a diverse pool of organ donors will help serve a growing wait list of those in need.In the U.S., 17 people die every day while waiting for an organ transplant.Nearly 60% of people on transplant waiting lists come from minority communities, while about 30% of donors are people of color.“Blood types and certain HLA, or antibodies, tend to correlate with various ethnic groups,” says Dr. Mao. “So it is not directly related to a particular minority group; however, organs will end up with someone of a similar background because the better matched an organ is, the more longevity that organ has.”Higher rates of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes ...Russian Wagner warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin on passenger list of jet that crashed
