If you want to get rid of stubborn body fat, adding strength training to your exercise regimen can help. To start losing fat, create a consistent weekly routine to build muscle and burn calories.

Mortuary makeup artists apply makeup to the deceased for public viewings.

What Is Your Bank’s Security Banking On?
by BrianKrebs @ Krebs on Security
Tue Mar 06 13:24:17 PST 2018
A large number of banks, credit unions and other financial institutions just pushed customers onto new e-banking platforms that asked them to reset their account passwords by entering a username plus some other static identifier -- such as the first six digits of their Social Security number, or a mix of partial SSN, date of birth or surname. Here's a closer look at what may be going on (spoiler: small, regional banks and credit unions have grown far too reliant on the whims of just a few major online banking platform providers). You might think it odd that any self-respecting financial institution would seek to authenticate customers via static data like partial SSN for passwords, and you'd be justified for thinking that, too. Nobody has any business using these static identifiers for authentication because it's all for sale on most Americans quite easily and cheaply in the cybercrime underground. The Equifax breach might have "refreshed" some of those data stores for identity thieves, but most U.S. adults have had their static details on sale for years now. On Feb. 16, KrebsOnSecurity reader Brent Hoeft shared a copy of an email he'd just received from his financial institution Associated Bank, which at $30+ billion in assets happens to be Wisconsin's largest by asset size.

Look-Alike Domains and Visual Confusion
by BrianKrebs @ Krebs on Security
Thu Mar 08 08:55:13 PST 2018
How good are you at telling the difference between domain names you know and trust and imposter or look-alike domains? The answer may depend on how familiar you are with the nuances of internationalized domain names (IDNs), as well as which browser or Web application you're using. For example, how does your browser interpret the following domain? I'll give you a hint: Despite appearances, it is most certainly not the actual domain for software firm CA Technologies (formerly Computer Associates Intl Inc.), which owns the original ca.com domain name: https://www.са.com/ Go ahead and click on the link above or cut-and-paste it into a browser address bar. If you're using Google Chrome, Apple's Safari, or some recent version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Edge browsers, you should notice that the address converts to "xn--80a7a.com." This is called "punycode," and it allows browsers to render domains with non-Latin alphabets like Cyrillic and Ukrainian. Below is what it looks like in Edge on Windows 10; Google Chrome renders it much the same way. Notice what's in the address bar (ignore the "fake site" and "Welcome to..." text, which was added as a courtesy by the person who registered this domain):

15-Year-old Finds Flaw in Ledger Crypto Wallet
by BrianKrebs @ Krebs on Security
Tue Mar 20 10:19:11 PDT 2018
A 15-year-old security researcher has discovered a serious flaw in cryptocurrency hardware wallets made by Ledger, a French company whose popular products are designed to physically safeguard public and private keys used to receive or spend the user’s cryptocurrencies. Hardware wallets like those sold by Ledger are designed to protect the user's private keys from malicious software that might try to harvest those credentials from the user's computer. The devices enable transactions via a connection to a USB port on the user's computer, but they don't reveal the private key to the PC. Yet Saleem Rashid, a 15-year-old security researcher from the United Kingdom, discovered a way to acquire the private keys from the Ledger devices. Rashid's method requires an attacker to have physical access to the device, and normally such attacks would fall under the #1 rule of security -- namely, if an attacker has physical access to your device it is not your device anymore.

Adrian Lamo, ‘Homeless Hacker’ Who Turned in Chelsea Manning, Dead at 37
by BrianKrebs @ Krebs on Security
Sun Mar 18 20:53:12 PDT 2018
Adrian Lamo, the hacker probably best known for breaking into The New York Times's network and for reporting Chelsea Manning's theft of classified documents to the FBI, was found dead in a Kansas apartment on Wednesday. Lamo was widely reviled and criticized for turning in Manning, but that chapter of his life eclipsed the profile of a complex individual who taught me quite a bit about security over the years. Adrian Lamo, in 2006. Source: Wikipedia. I first met Lamo in 2001 when I was a correspondent for Newsbytes.com, a now-defunct tech publication that was owned by The Washington Post at the time. A mutual friend introduced us over AOL Instant Messenger, explaining that Lamo had worked out a simple method allowing him to waltz into the networks of some of the world's largest media companies using nothing more than a Web browser.

Survey: Americans Spent $1.4B on Credit Freeze Fees in Wake of Equifax Breach
by BrianKrebs @ Krebs on Security
Thu Mar 22 07:08:46 PDT 2018
Almost 20 percent of Americans froze their credit file with one or more of the big three credit bureaus in the wake of last year's data breach at Equifax, costing consumers an estimated $1.4 billion, according to a new study. The findings come as lawmakers in Congress are debating legislation that would make credit freezes free in every state. The figures, commissioned by small business loan provider Fundera and conducted by Wakefield Research, surveyed some 1,000 adults in the U.S. Respondents were asked to self-report how much they spent on the freezes; 32 percent said the freezes cost them $10 or less, but 38 percent said the total cost was $30 or more. The average cost to consumers who froze their credit after the Equifax breach was $23. A credit freeze blocks potential creditors from being able to view or "pull" your credit file, making it far more difficult for identity thieves to apply for new lines of credit in your name.

If you have been a smoker for a while, you may experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms—intense cravings, headaches, anger, trouble sleeping, and even anxiety or depression—when you attempt to quit. These undesirable side effects of quitting may tempt you to pick the habit back up. But, if you seek support, come up with a plan to deal with triggers, and practice good self-care, the symptoms will eventually subside. Hold out and give it time— you'll get through withdrawal and be smoke-free sooner than you think!

Handwriting analysis is both an art and a science. Whether you want to compare handwriting samples for fun or for legal or forensic purposes, you’ll need a sharp eye. The first step is to obtain samples, which typically include a sample in question and several documents you know someone actually wrote. Examine each document individually, and look for formal, formatting, and stylistic quirks. Determine if samples share any of these subtle characteristics, and form a conclusion about the documents’ authorship based on your findings.

Putting an image onto a glass object—such as a glass, mason jar, mirror, or window—is a way to personalize and decorate your living space. You can transfer any type of image that has been printed from a laser printer, or that you find in a book or magazine. To transfer an image onto glass, fix adhesive packing tape to the image you’d like to transfer. Soak the image and tape in warm water, then remove the paper and stick the image onto a glass object. Alternately, you can use a gel transfer medium to move the image directly on to a glass surface.

How to Train an Abused Dog
by @ How to of the Day
Tue Mar 27 01:00:00 PDT 2018
Dogs who’ve suffered abuse may be withdrawn, depressed, inactive, and distrustful. While not all fearful and shy dogs have been abused, abuse can make the dog hesitant and nervous around humans. While it takes time to help a pup overcome its past, abused dogs can become loving pets if the right person comes into their life. If you’ve rescued an abused dog, then you’ll likely want to train it. Before you can train your dog, you need to take care of the dog’s health and safety so that it can learn to trust you. Then you will be able to housebreak your dog, teach it basic commands, and help it overcome its past.

If all else fails, invest in a pair of handy shirt stays or make the switch to a more casual untucked style.
