1 1/4 inches
Necklace Drop Width:
1 inch
14kt close 14KT: Karat (abbreviated kt or K) is a unit that indicates the purity of gold in the metal. 14kt is 58.33% gold. In the United States, 14K yellow gold is most favored and used in jewelry. Yellow Gold close YELLOW GOLD: Gold is a precious metal with a natural yellow color. It is quite soft and often alloyed with other metals to increase its strength. The purity of the metal is indicated by a unit called a "karat," with 24kt having the highest percentage of natural gold.
Polished close POLISHED: A buffed-out finish used to produce a mirror-like shine.
Chain Included:
Gemstone 1:
Diamond close Diamond: The hardest and most brilliant of all gemstones, a diamond can make the heart race with its pure and fiery spark.

Gemstone 2:
Topaz close TOPAZ: Available in a stunning selection of shades, the topaz's sky blue hue is one of the most popular colors for jewelry designs. Once thought to offer protection, today topaz is favored for its durability and affordability. Yellow topaz is the birthstone for November while blue topaz is for December. (Color: Blue, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Pear close PEAR: Similar to the outline of a pear fruit, this is a round shape that comes to a point on one side. , Weight: 0.45 carats, Size: 6X4 mm)
Gemstone 3:
Garnet close GARNET: the birthstone of January. One glance at the deep red seeds nestled inside of a pomegranate explains why the word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granatus," meaning "grain" or "seed."

Amethyst close AMETHYST: A natural variety of quartz, amethyst ranges in color from deep purple to pale lavender, and even to warm greens.

(Color: Purple, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Pear, Weight: 0.65 carats, Size: 7X5 mm)
Gemstone 5:
Carnelian close CARNELIAN: A brownish-red mineral, carnelian has been used for centuries to make engraved gems and signet rings, intaglios and especially seal rings, because hot wax does not adhere to it. Its name comes from the Latin word for cherry, since the lush red color of the carnelian so resembles the vivid red fruit. (Color: Red, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Pear, Weight: 0.50 carats, Size: 7X5 mm)
All weights and measures are approximate.

Body Like Beckham
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Beckham is the latest celeb to join the Got Milk campaign. Somehow he just makes everything look sexier. Hello Magazine reports:
The new posters, which will soon be appearing on billboards all across America, show the English star wearing only a pair of jeans and a thin layer of creamy white goodness across his upper lip.
I think that says it all. If drinking milk makes one look like Beckham, then it looks like my husband is starting a new milk only diet.

I do the same thing JinX, I am a big sucker for strays and animals hurt on the side of the road. If I could only wave a majic wond, I would save all the hurting animals on this earth. So you see, there really is no superman.
Jinx 9 years
I know it makes no sense, I would never hurt an animal, I'd rescue or report an abused animal. But but I do agree with killing animals to eat meat.

Jenn, I eat meat, for health reasons, and feel guilty each and every time. I care lots for animals, and if I had to kill to eat, I'd starve for sure. One has to supress thinking to eat meat, really. I mean, I can't even watch people fishing, and I do love fish. I was raised eating it so when I got my health issue from being a bad vegetarian, my nutritionist told me to stick to my childhood diet. I need the protein from meat to control my blood sugar roller coaster problem. It could get serious, turn into diabetes. I do agree, it's gross. But life is gross, if you go far enough into thinking about everything. Sex is gross, oral sex is gross, periods are gross, etc etc. (dont' get me started) ;) Did you say a big consumer of humans? LOL :)

Kat - Thanks! He's a sweet pea. To answer your question...because we're the only ones capable of getting milk from another animal? ;) Look, I don't drink a lot of milk. My son drinks no cow's milk. Never has. He hates it. But, the whole "oh I'll eat meat but milk is gross" thing cracks me up. Especially when someone starts comparing it to how gross it is to drink human milk. Because, its a heck of a lot less gross to drink an animal's milk than it is to chop it up and eat it. Especially when you compare that same scenario to a human.

Operational changes keep coming at Walmart with another round of senior executive moves.
Walmart Stores unveiled plans to countermand slowed growth in China with 115 new stores in the country by 2017 and creating some 30,000 jobs.
Global responsibility and sustainability continue to be priorities for Walmart Stores. The company filed its proxy statement ahead of its June 5 annual shareholders meeting, and also issued its annual report, and the 2015 Global Responsibility Report and Global Compliance Program Report.
"Our health-and-wellness experts are leading the way for the future of health care in our stores and beyond."
For any retail pharmacy provider, that would be a bold, perhaps even overly confident, assertion. But coming as it does from Walmart, it's something that both the U.S. healthcare system and Walmart's competitors are taking seriously.
Walmart's share price will be under pressure in the coming years as a holding company created decades ago by the Walton family to control their ownership of the company prepares to unload as much as 6% of Walmart's outstanding shares.
Walmart is looking to increase its support of community hunger programs with a new Fight Hunger. Spark Change. Campaign this spring.
Walmart plans to improve the customer experience, invest in its grocery business, and put pressure on suppliers to drive down prices.
Arkansas native and Walmart president and CEO Doug McMillon has taken a firm stance against a "religious freedom" measure passed by the Arkansas House on Tuesday.

Pao de Acucar - CBD - Brazil - looking for credit partner to bolster consumer finance 0 comments
Brazil's biggest store chain is negotiating with the country's leading banks to open a new consumer financing unit. This is traditionally a great retail business.
Pao de Acucar, better known as CBD, has opened up preliminary discussions with Itau Unibanco ITUB, Banco Bradesco BBD and Banco do Brasil BDORY to see which will be the best lending partner for its Nova Globex appliance chain. Opening up a private label consumer financing unit is a time-honored way for Brazilian (and global) retailers to drum up sales.
Customers buy more washing machines and TVs when they can put them on their store card, while the store and the underwriting bank split the interest and financing fees. Although BDORY and BBD have recently pooled their credit and debit card processing operations, neither is as well known for private label in-store lending as ITUB. In fact, ITUB already has a long-standing and very lucrative partnership with CBD to run the parent chain's consumer lending operations while selling insurance and other products out of the stores.
Through consolidation with Unibanco and other Brazilian lenders, ITUB has also absorbed one-time leading in-store lenders like Hipercard, Redecard and half of the Credicard franchise. Still, maybe BBD and/or BDORY will come up with a better deal for CBD than ITUB. If so, it will be a major upset and a significant win on either side. How big a win is this? CBD sells $11.6 billion in appliances every year.

Robert Feintuch discusses his paintings
A member of the Bates art faculty whose work has received prominent exhibitions in America and Europe, Robert Feintuch discusses his paintings at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 14, in Room 104, Olin Arts Center.
Based in New York, Feintuch achieves a clarity and brightness that, paradoxically, deepen the mystery of his images. His best-known works include self-portraits set in cryptic, sometimes humorous, circumstances that find the artist particularly vulnerable — asleep, nude or literally with his pants down.
"Many of these images could be moments in a narrative sequence selected from quotidian, lived life," stated the catalog for Feintuch's 2001 solo exhibition at the Howard Yezerski Gallery, in Boston. "But the cropping and stillness of the compositions, and [their] luminosity . . . make it clear that the images are metaphorically open and psychologically suggestive."
Feintuch has exhibited his work at the CRG Gallery in New York, the Jewish Museum in San Francisco and the Venice Biennale, as well as galleries and museums in Cologne, Germany, and Verona and Bologna, Italy, among other venues.
Sponsored by the Bates College Museum of Art, this event is free and open to the public. For more information about the lecture, please call 207-786-6158.

CHICO, Calif. (AP) - A Chico man has been indicted on charges he
stole nearly $700,000 from a Catholic charity where he served on the board of directors.
A federal grand jury in Sacramento on Thursday indicted 68-year-old Thom Randle on charges of mail fraud, computer fraud and money laundering.
Prosecutors say Randle embezzled $693,000 from the Columbian Retirement Home by transferring the charity's funds to his own accounts between September 2004 and September 2005. The nonprofit
retirement facility is operated by the Knights of Columbus.
Randle was the charity's vice president of finance. Court documents list no attorney for Randle. He is not in custody.

Keynote lecture presentation
Epigenetic alterations are present not only in cancer cells but also in non-cancerous tissues. Accumulation levels of aberrant DNA methylation in non-cancerous tissues can correlate with risk of cancer development, especially in chronic inflammation-associated cancers [1-3]. The close correlation in non-cancerous tissues was prominent for epigenetic alterations, compared with genetic alterations, and formed a concept of "epigenetic field for cancerization (epigenetic field defect)". In gastric cancers, close correlation between methylation levels and cancer risk has been demonstrated [4].
As mechanisms for methylation induction in the stomach, infection by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the major cause of gastric cancers, was implicated in humans [5], and was demonstrated in Mongolian gerbils [6]. Especially, a critical role of inflammation triggered by H. pylori infection, not by high concentrations of ethanol or salt, was demonstrated, suggesting the importance of specific chronic inflammation [7]. Gene expression analysis showed that expression levels of Il1b, Nos, and Tnf were well correlated with methylation levels induced.
To dissect molecular mechanisms for induction of epigenetic alterations, a mouse colitis model induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was used. First, we isolated genes methylated in colon tumors induced by DSS and azoxymethane, and showed that these genes were methylated in non-cancerous colonic mucosae, forming an epigenetic field. Aberrant methylation was induced even in SCID mice, which lack functional T- and B-lymphocytes, and it was shown that lymphocytes are not essential in methylation induction [8]. By chromatin-immunoprecipitation-on-Chip analysis of H3K27me3, aberrant H3K27me3 was shown to be induced by colitis, and can be carried into cancer tissues and function as a premark for induction of aberrant DNA methylation [9].
One of the major translations of the epigenetic field for cancerization is its use as a cancer risk marker. By searching for CpG islands differentially methylated in gastric mucosae of gastric cancer patients and healthy volunteers, both of which had past infection by H. pylori, we were able to isolate and validate seven differentially methylated CpG islands. The new markers had large areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves (0.78-0.84) and high odds ratios (12.7-36.0) even among individuals with past H. pylori infection, compared with two currently available markers (0.60-0.65, 5.0-5.7) [10]. We are currently conducting a prospective study to predict patients who suffer from metachronous gastric cancers among gastric cancer patients treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection.
Another translation is prevention of cancers. Several studies involving viral oncogenes and chemical carcinogens showed that epigenetic cancer prevention is possible, but there have been no studies for the usefulness of epigenetic cancer prevention in chronic inflammation-associated cancers. We administered 5-aza-2'-deoxycitidine (5-aza-dC) to Mongolian gerbils infected with H. pylori after administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. It was shown that the incidence of gastric cancers was suppressed almost to half of that in gerbils without 5-aza-dC [Niwa, submitted].
These findings vividly show that the epigenetic field defect has its unique characteristics, such as ease of measurement and reversibility, and harbors a rich chance of clinical translations.

No matter how strongly your house is constructed, a natural disaster can easily dismantle your home in a matter of seconds. When the unthinkable happens, you need to make sure that you're fully protected with a great home insurance plan. In this article we'll discuss some of the best insurance tips available.
Frames Cost
To save money on your homeowner's insurance consider the costs of construction projects before you begin building. Structures with wooden frames cost more to insure because they have more risk of burning, while structures with steel frames cost less because they are sturdier and hold up under adverse weather or other conditions.
Buy home owner's insurance without any hesitation. You need to be protected in case of floods, storms, burglaries or fires. If you carry a mortgage, you are most likely required to have a homeowner's insurance policy. They are usually required per the loan terms.
When shopping for homeowner's insurance, be sure to get a policy that offers guaranteed replacement value insurance. This means that your policy will definitely rebuild your house if it were completely destroyed. As construction costs increase over time, it may cost more to build your house now than it did when your home was new. Guaranteed replacement policies absorb these costs.
When considering insurance for your home, be sure to have your valuables formerly appraised. This will ensure that if they need to be replaced, you will get a fair replacement value in a quicker amount of time. To do this, have a specialist appraise the belonging and then send the official appraisal to the insurance company.
Before you buy a home, find out how much insurance runs in the area you are considering. In some locations, homeowners insurance is very high due to a number of factors. For example, if the home is located in a flood zone or an area where hurricanes are to be expected, high insurance rates are also to be expected.
To reduce the price of your home insurance, you need to decrease the risks of accident. You can start by buying fire proof furniture and materials. Install smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Your insurance company will consider your home as safer, and in case of fire you should be able to contain the fire more easily.
If you want to insure your home against flooding, you'll need a flood insurance policy. Flooding is not covered by most regular homeowner's insurance policies. Protection against flooding covers damage from things like too much rain, creeks rising, landslides and more. If you think you need this additional coverage, speak to your agent, who will explain options and costs for your area.
Create a comprehensive list of the valuables that are in your home, and provide a copy to your insurance agent. Take pictures of your items, and have them stored somewhere away from your home. Confirm with your agent that all of these items will be covered, and make sure to update your agent on new valuable purchases that should be covered.
Review your homeowner's insurance policy every year to make sure it still accurately reflects your situation. Keep track of additions or changes to your house that might call for discounts or premium reductions. Do not neglect your neighborhood, either. The installation of new services nearby (e.g. a new fire hydrant close to your house), may also call for lower insurance payments.
There are endless elements out there out of your control, all of which could cause serious damage to your home. Make sure that you're using the tips you have just read to protect yourself and your family with an ironclad homeowners' insurance policy. As the homeowner, the responsibility rests with you.

After protesters shouting "Go Home" turned back busloads of immigrant mothers and children in Murrieta, Calif., a furious Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Roman Catholic archbishop of New York, sat down at his notepad and drafted a blog post detailing his shame at the episode, writing, "It was un-American; it was un-biblical; it was inhumane."
When the governor of Iowa, Terry Branstad, said he did not want the migrants in his state, declaring, "We can't accept every child in the world who has problems," clergy in Des Moines held a prayer vigil at a United Methodist Church to demonstrate their desire to make room for the refugees.
America's response to the arrival of tens of thousands of migrant children, many of them fleeing violence and exploitation in Central America, has been symbolized by an angry pushback from citizens and local officials who have channeled their outrage over illegal immigration into opposition to proposed shelter sites. But around the nation, an array of religious leaders are trying to mobilize support for the children, saying the nation can and should welcome them.
"We're talking about whether we're going to stand at the border and tell children who are fleeing a burning building to go back inside," said Rabbi Asher Knight of Temple Emanu-El in Dallas, who said leaders of more than 100 faith organizations in his city met last week to discuss how to help.
"The question for us is: How do we want to be remembered, as yelling and screaming to go back, or as using the teachings of our traditions to have compassion and love and grace for the lives of God's children?" Knight said.
The backlash to the backlash is broad -- from Unitarian Universalists and Quakers to evangelical Protestants. Among the most agitated are Catholic bishops, who have long allied with Republican politicians against abortion and same-sex marriage, and leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention, whose adherents tend to lean right.
"This is a crisis, and not simply a political crisis, but a moral one," said Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptists' Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.
On Tuesday, Moore led a delegation of Southern Baptist officials to visit refugee children at detention centers in San Antonio and McAllen, Texas. In an interview after the visit, Moore said that "the anger directed toward vulnerable children is deplorable and disgusting" and added, "The first thing is to make sure we understand these are not issues, these are persons -- these children are made in the image of God, and we ought to respond to them with compassion, not with fear."
Also on Tuesday, a coalition of evangelical organizations sent a letter to members of Congress, opposing proposals for expedited deportation of the migrants. A similar letter is being prepared by a wide range of mainline denominations, including the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ.
The Catholic Church also opposes any effort to make it easier to deport children; last week, the archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Francis George, said he had offered facilities in his diocese to house some of the children, and on Monday, bishops in Dallas and Fort Worth called for lawyers to volunteer to represent the children at immigration proceedings.
"We have to put our money where our mouth is in this country," said Kevin Appleby, the director of migration policy for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "We tell other countries to protect human rights and accept refugees, but when we get a crisis on our border, we don't know how to respond."

Pakistan landslides kill three soldiers, bury 18 rescuers
Landslides triggered by heavy snow have killed three soldiers and left 18 people, who were sent to rescue them, missing in the Pakistan-administered Kashmir region. The Pakistani military said two landslips struck a remote outpost in the Kel area of Kashmir near Line of Control - the de facto border with neighboring India - on Friday.
Local official Raja Saqib Majeed said the bodies of the three soldiers had been recovered. However, rescuers were still looking for the eight soldiers and 10 civilians from the search team caught in the second landslide."We hope that rescue workers will find some of them alive. Let's hope for the best," he said. Majeed noted that rescue efforts were being hampered by continued bad weather. In April, 140 Pakistani soldiers were buried when a huge wall of snow crashed into the remote Siachen Glacier base in the Pakistan-administered Kashmir region. They have all been declared dead, although some of the bodies remain buried. MP/AZ

14 easy tips to protect your smartphones and tablets – Part II
More easy things you can do to secure your smartphone and tablet.
On our blog last week, we shared the first 7 easy security measures to protect your Android devices and the data stored there. But we haven't finished them. Let's go a little further.
8. Keep an eye in your phone or, if you can, set Geofencing protection
Don't put your phone down and go somewhere else. And if you're having fun in a bar and drinking a beer with friends, have a lucid thought before starting: Turn the Avast Geofencing module on. It's easy. Open Avast Premium Mobile Security > Anti-Theft > Advanced Settings > Geofencing.
9. Be aware of what permissions apps require
Why should a flashlight app need access to your contacts? Why would a calculator need access to your photos and videos? Shady apps will try to upload your address book and your location to advertising servers or could send premium SMS that will cost you money. You need to pay attention before installing or, at least, uninstall problematic apps. It's not easy to find a way (if any) to manage permissions in a non-rooted Android phone.
We have written about this before as apps could abuse the permissions requests not only while installing but also on updating. Read more to learn and be cautious: Google Play Store changes opens door to cybercrooks.
10. Keep your device up-to-date
Google can release security updates using their services running in your devices. Developers can do the same via an app update. Allow updates to prevent vulnerabilities, the same as you do in your computer. But pay attention to any changes. See tip #9.
11. Encryption
You can encrypt your account, settings, apps and their data, media and other files. Android allows this in its Security settings. Without your lockscreen PIN, password or gesture, nobody will be able to decrypt your data. So, don't forget your PIN! Nevertheless, this won't encrypt the data sent or received by your phone. Read the next tip for that.
12. In open/public Wi-Fi, use a VPN to protect your communication
Cybercrooks can have access to all your data in a public, open or free Wi-Fi hotspot at the airport or in a cafe. Avast gives you the ability to protect all inbound and outbound data of your devices with a secure, encrypted and easy-to-use VPN called Avast SecureLine. Learn more about it here.
13. Set the extra features of Lollipop (Android 5)
If you're with Android Lollipop (v5), you can set a user profile to allow multiple users of the same device. You can create a restricted user profile that will keep your apps from being messed with by your kids or your spouse.
You can also pin the screen and allow other users to only see that particular screen and nothing more. It will prevent your friends and coworkers from accidentally (or on purpose) looking into your device.
14. Backup. Backup. Backup.
Well, our last tip is common digital sense. If everything fails, have a Plan B, and C and D… With Avast Mobile Backup you can protect all your data: contacts, call logs, messages, all your media files (photos, musics and videos) and your apps (with their data if you're rooted) in safe servers. If your device gets broken, lost or stolen, everything will be there, encrypted and safe, for you to restore to your new device.
Have you followed all our tips? Are you feeling safe? Do you have an extra protection or privacy tip? Please, leave a comment below.
14 easy tips to protect your smartphones and tablets – Part I
A few precautions can make a huge difference in the safety of your phone and the important things you saved on it.
We talk a lot about protection and privacy here in our blog. It's a bit obvious as our "life" is in our devices nowadays: Photos of our last trip or our loved ones, videos of our children playing and growing up, contacts both professional and personal. All our precious and irreplaceable data is stored in these little machines. Take a minute of your time and follow us in this easy tour to protect them and save a lot of time and headaches.
1. Set your lockscreen
You wouldn't leave your home door unlocked, would you? Same goes for your phone with all your private data. Set a password or PIN to prevent direct and easy access to your phone. Gestures and face recognition are less secure, but are better than nothing.
2. Hide your passwords from nosy people
You will argue that people around you can look over your shoulder and see what PIN or password you're typing or gesture you make. Generally, we're not worried about trustworthy people around us, but what about strangers in a public place like a bus or train? Open your phone settings and hide your passwords by unchecking the option: Settings > Security > Make passwords visible.
3. Protect your apps with a PIN
Not all apps are equal when it comes to security and privacy. Probably the weather app or calculator won't keep your personal info. However, your messages and banking apps will thank you if you help them to keep their data private. You can imagine what might happen if your kids to open a specific app while they're playing in your devices. Use Avast Mobile Security to set a PIN to block access to your apps. As an extra security measure, it will be good that your lockscreen and Avast PINs are different ones.
4. Disable installation of apps from unknown sources
If you do not use other app stores besides Google Play, then uncheck the option "Unknown sources" in your phone's Security Settings page. Even the Google Play Store sometimes allows malware to get by. It's well known that most Android malware are fake apps disguised as legitimate apps, so double check the publisher. Be cautious of downloading from fake sites disguised as official ones – check the URL. Avoid completely pirated and cracked sources.
5. Set Avast Mobile Security to scan any app before installing
If you really need to use legal third party stores, like Amazon or F-Droid, please be careful: Keep Avast Mobile Security always on. You know that Avast scans any installed and running app. But do you know that you can set it to scan any app that is about to be installed? After you've installed Avast, when you're about to install a new app, the phone will ask you if you want Avast or the default installer to handle the installation by default. Use Avast, it will scan and then release the app to the default installation process.
6. Disable USB Debugging
This tip is for advanced users. If you have enabled Developer options into your device (and you will know exactly if you did as you're an advanced user!), please, turn USB debugging off. You will protect your device from outside abuse (via adb connections) if you do so. You don't need it to be on all the time.
7. Install and set Avast Anti-Theft
This is an old tip, but it's so important that it should be on all smartphone safety tips lists. Just note that installing is not enough. You need to properly configure Avast Anti-Theft (don't worry, there is an easy wizard for it) step-by-step. It's good to check if your location services are properly set also, otherwise, it will be difficult to track it. In other words, go to Settings > Location Access and set High accuracy mode.
We'll talk about the other 7 tips in next days, so come back to the Avast blog.
Online privacy protection in the EU
It's European #DataProtection day! Every day we visit websites and willingly hand over our name, address, and credit card number. Have you ever thought about what happens to that data or what your rights are?
Members of the European Union (EU) enjoy a high standard of protection of their personal data. The Digital Agenda for Europe lays it all out for you on their website. Here's a summary:
The burden to protect you is on organizations
The EU Data Protection Directive ensures that personal data can only be gathered under strict conditions and for legitimate purposes. Organizations that collect and manage your personal information must also protect it from misuse and respect certain rights. One of the objectives is that organizations notify their customers, in plain language, what information is collected and how it is used as well as get permission before using any personal information.
One of the stumbling blocks has been the so-called one-stop-shop for businesses and citizens in each member state in which authorities will handle citizens' complaints about any breach of the rules. There are just as many ideas on how to run it as there are EU member states.
You must be notified of cookies and data breaches
The Directive on Privacy and Electronic communications (ePrivacy Directive) ensures that all communications over public networks maintain a high level of privacy. For example, this directive requires website owners marketing online to EU citizens to obtain consent from users, via some kind of opt-in, before implementing cookies or other technologies to capture online visitor information. (See below for information on managing your cookies.)
If your data is stolen, the ePrivacy Directive states that you should be notified. That's good because data theft can result in identity theft or fraud, damage to your reputation, loss of control over your personal data or a loss of confidentiality.
However, this fall, the rules changed slightly and now businesses don't have to notify consumers that their personal data has been lost or stolen if the data has been encrypted. The ministers figure that the business has "appropriate technological protection measures" to protect the data that has been lost or stolen from being accessed by people not authorized to see it.

Infographic: Privacy tips for business
Privacy plays a growing part in customer buying decisions. With every data breach, trust is eroded further.
Privacy and security are intertwined when it comes to our individual information. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the value of their personal data, so that means that businesses have to step up and do a better job of securing that data. Identity theft is the #1 fear of consumers, but for your business the risk is loss of trust and brand damage.
Since trust is the core of any transaction it's important to know how privacy factors into your customer's buying decisions. Research shows that almost 40% of consumers made buying decisions based upon privacy. When looking at who these people are, it was found that these individuals are aged 46-65 and have the highest incomes. But don't rely on the business of the younger generation to supplant that once trust is lost; 27% of millenials abandoned an online purchase in the past month due to privacy or security concerns.
To mark Data Privacy Day on January 28, the following Privacy is Good for Business tips were created by privacy experts in civil-society, non-profit, government and industry and aspire to help business address the public's growing privacy concerns:
- If you collect it, protect it. Follow reasonable security measures to keep individuals' personal information safe from inappropriate and unauthorized access.
- Be open and honest about how you collect, use and share consumers' personal information. Think about how the consumer may expect their data to be used.
- Build trust by doing what you say you will do. Communicate clearly and concisely to the public about what privacy means to your organization and the steps you take to achieve and maintain privacy.
- Create a culture of privacy in your organization. Explain to and educate employees about the importance and impact of protecting consumer and employee information as well as the role they play in keeping it safe.
- Don't count on your privacy notice as your only tool to educate consumers about your data practices.
- Conduct due diligence and maintain oversight of partners and vendors. You are also responsible for how they collect and use personal information.
Facebook privacy basics – 3 areas to look at
Posting a privacy notice on your Facebook feed does nothing to keep your updates, photos, or videos private. You need to tweak the settings yourself.
You may have noticed a legal-sounding statement being shared on people's Facebook News Feed lately. As we explained in the blog, Posting a privacy notice on Facebook is useless, this statement does nothing to protect users' privacy. However, it's great that Facebook users are concerned about these things – it demonstrates a leap forward in awareness and a desire to protect yourself. That's why we are sharing the three major areas you need to be aware of when it comes to protecting your privacy:
- 1. Your posts
- 2. Your profile
- 3. Your apps
Your posts control who can see what you share when you post from the top of your News Feed or your profile. This tool remembers the audience you shared with the last time you posted something and uses the same audience when you share again unless you change it.
If you need to delete a post go to your Timeline and find the status update, photo, or video you want to remove. Open the menu in the upper right corner of the post and select Delete.
Your profile includes information about you like Work and Education, Places You've Lived, Family and Relationships, etc. To see how others view your profile, go to your profile and select View As… on the menu in the lower right corner of your cover photo. If there is information that you don't want the world to see, then click Update Info at the bottom of the cover photo of your profile to make sure it's up-to-date and shared with who you want.
Your apps are what you've logged into with your Facebook identity. More and more websites and applications, including Avast, are allowing you to do that, because it's more convenient than creating a new username and password.
When you choose to use your Facebook information to log in, you are also sharing personal information from your Facebook account with the other website. Third party websites can also sometimes post updates to your wall on your behalf. You can edit who sees each app you use and any future posts the app makes for you, or delete the apps you no longer use. Edit your apps by going to your App Settings.
You can view other settings at any time in your Privacy Settings. Or click the padlock icon located in the top right corner.
Use Social Media Security in your Avast account
Every Avast customer has access to our Social Media Security check via your MyAvast account. You can secure your Facebook profile with:
- 24/7 check of all posts
- Protection from dangerous links and viruses
- Monitoring of all photos, friends, and activities
Here's what you do:
- 1. Go to your my.avast.com account. Your Avast Account is created automatically from the email account entered for any Avast GrimeFighter purchase or Avast Free Antivirus registration. Here's instructions on our FAQ if you don't have an account.
- 2. On the bottom left side of the main screen, you will see Social Media Security. Click the blue button to begin a scan. (You may need to connect your Facebook account first.)
- 3. After the scan is complete, Social Media Security will show you all the issues that it found. You can choose to review each of those issues and disregard if it's OK, or manage the settings within Facebook.
Posting a privacy notice on Facebook is useless
An old hoax has been resurrected after Facebook made a recent announcement about its updated privacy policy. The copyright message claims to protect users' pictures, information, and posts under UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute. It's seems so official; it just must be true, right? Here is an example that I saw on my newsfeed this morning.
Other variations have come through in the past few days with legal-sounding statements, like this:
"In response to the new Facebook guidelines, I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, illustrations, comics, paintings, professional photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Berner Convention)…."
The good news is that Facebook users are becoming more aware of privacy issues, and they seek a way to control their own shared media. The bad news is that this notification has no legal standing at all, you are bound to the terms and conditions that you agreed to when you signed up with Facebook, and you are annoying your friends.
The truth is that YOU own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and YOU can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. If you neglect to look at those settings, you grant Facebook a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any content that you post on or in connection with Facebook.
In tomorrow's blog, we will share the top 3 areas in Facebook where you need to make sure the privacy is set to your liking.
We like the 'Oversharing on social media' message aired during Sugar Bowl
In last night's broadcast of the Sugar Bowl, a showdown of two power-house college football teams in the USA, Allstate Insurance, aired a series of brilliant commercials about the risk of over-sharing on social networks. The social media team at Avast has been preaching this message for a while now, so we were happy to see this clever series of advertisements.
The ads are about a couple who shared on social networks that they were away from their house, actually attending the game. Allstate's "Mayhem" character took advantage of this knowledge and broke into their unoccupied house, and proceeded to have a "MayhemSale" of all their possessions. "Buy Matt & Shannon's stuff now at MayhemSale.com," he announced, then soon after took to Twitter to sell off items one-by-one. I immediately visited the website, but apparently there were so many other interested people, that it kept crashing.
Saw couple posting from tonight's game. Figured I'd break into their house / sell all their stuff. #MayhemSale http://t.co/FKHiRjz68S
— Mayhem (@Mayhem) January 2, 2015
Burglars can easily search Facebook or Twitter for targeted keywords or see who has checked into airport lounges on Foursquare. According to FBI statistics, summertime is the most active for burglaries and oversharing can tip off thieves to your absence. Homeowners should be extra vigilant about protecting their goods.
Our advice – be extremely cautious what you share on social media, and wait until after you are back to share your vacation pictures.
Facebook's new privacy policies and your data security
2015 is arriving and, as usual, tech companies start to launch their updates for the new year. However, it looks like someone is sparking some debate with its recent policies that are to be implemented in less than a month. That someone is… Facebook.
After all the controversy around the Facebook Messenger app last summer, the world's largest social media company is under fire, again!
Recently, Facebook published their new terms, data policies, and cookies policies that the network will launch January 1st. Basically, the update says that every user of Facebook's services agree, among other changes, with the utilization of tools that can help to aggregate data in order to create more customized ads – the company also introduces ways to guarantee basic data security.
I've noticed that the way I've received the ads in my profile is quite different to what it used to be. After simply browsing through a website related to a specific theme, let's say, football or software, I immediately start to receive wall post offers related to that topic, company, or product that I researched online. Imagine how it's going to be in 2015 after the new policy has been officially launched?
Is Facebook spying on you?
Would the world's largest social media website be spying on us? They have admitted publicly that it's quite easy to monitor online activities, and they do hold a lot of data on their members, which makes people feel a bit uncomfortable. Just search for articles about it, and you'll see.
Facebook's goal with this new privacy policy is to help users "understand how Facebook works and how to control your information." This introduces an element of decision-making on the user's behalf.
Some of the updates you can expect to see are:
Discover what's going on around you: Facebook is working on ways to show you the most relevant information based on where you are and what your friends are up to.
Make purchases more convenient: People in some regions will see a Buy button, making purchasing easy because you don't have to leave Facebook. And you get targeted ads based on what you are interested in, like me seeing an increased number of football and software ads.
Make you part of the Facebook ecosystem: You will be even more invested in the "Facebook family" because they are making Instagram, WhatsApp, and the growing number of companies, apps and services that Facebook is acquiring work together more seamlessly.
Your data is still under your control
You should be concerned about the contents and data that you publish on Facebook, because sometimes they make you look like an idiot, but don't go off the deep end thinking that your social network will steal your privacy! You are still under control of your data!
To help you maintain control, Facebook wants you to understand how they use your information and find information about privacy on Facebook at the moment you need it. Tips and suggestions can be found in Privacy Basics.
It's also necessary for you to take some precautions, such as:
- Use strong passwords to access your profiles and accounts
- Don't share sensitive information in social media channels
- Take double precaution with fake websites
- Only proceed with online payments when logged to https pages
And, obviously, use a good antivirus that will help you with all the above procedures! No matter what tools online companies and social media websites are using to better understand your behavior in the "Internet of Things", you are still under control of your data. Do your part and live a health virtual life!
Is backing up your data the same as exposing it? In this case – Yes!
Losing contacts from your mobile phone is highly inconvenient. There's seems to be a solution - You can find them online! The catch? Your contacts are in a publicly accessible place.
If you care for your privacy you should always be suspicious about "Cloud Backup" solutions you find in the Google Play Store. The solution that is being analyzed here backs up your personal contacts online. In public.
Upon starting the application, you will find a screen where you can put your mobile number and a password of your choice. Then you can upload your contacts in the cloud.
A brief analysis inside this application shows us how exactly it backs up your contacts in the cloud. The contacts are associated with the phone number that you have given in the previous step and they are sent through HTTP POST requests in a PHP page.
Further analysis through IP traffic capturing with Fiddler helped usdiscover the results in the pictures above; a page located online, for anyone to see, that contains thousands of un-encrypted entries of phone numbers and passwords. Using the info in the app you can retrieve personal private data (contacts) from another user.
We found log in data inside those entries from countries like Greece, Brazil, and others
The Play Store page says that this app has been installed 50.000-100.000 times. This is a big number of installations for an application that doesn't deliver the basic secure Android coding practices. The developer must use technologies like HTTPS, SSL and encryption on the data that are transferred through the web and stored in the server. Nogotofail is a useful network security testing tool designed by Google to "to help developers and security researchers spot and fix weak TLS/SSL connections and sensitive cleartext traffic on devices and applications in a flexible, scalable, powerful way."
The application has been reported to Google without receiving any response.
Avast detects it as Android:DataExposed-B [PUP].
Samples (SHA-256):
Adobe gathers data from your eBook reader
Security and privacy violations in Adobe's Digital Editions eBook and PDF reader were discovered last week.
"This is a privacy and security breach so big that I am still trying to wrap my head around the technical aspects, much less the legal aspects," researcher Nate Hoffelder wrote in The Digital Reader blog post.
If you check out eBooks from your local library and read from a digital reader like a Nook, Kobo, or other non-Amazon eBook reader, then you have probably used Adobe's free Digital Editions software.
Hoffelder said that Adobe is gathering user data on the eBooks that have been opened, which pages were read, and in what order, as well as metadata such as title and publisher –and all of it is being sent to Adobe's servers in plain text. That means anyone who is interested and has the means, say, the National Security Agency or your ISP, could be reading over your shoulder. That's not good. In fact, it's very bad, as well as illegal.
It is hoped that Adobe's Tuesday update will include a plug for the Digital Editions leak, but more likely it will be next week. In a statement to the American Library Association, Adobe reports they "expect an update to be available no later than the week of October 20" in terms of transmission of reader data."
