Vogue cover model was 'strangled and dumped in her dorm room by a female student who once drugged her after they fell out', father claims in lawsuit
- Raudha Athif, 21, was a student at the Islami Bank Medical College in Bangladesh
- Bangladeshi autopsy report ruled the Vogue cover model had taken her own life
- But her family says she was murdered by extremists for her 'immodest' clothes
- Raudha's father, Mohamed Athif, filed a lawsuit against one of her female classmates, accusing her of murder
- He says she strangled Raudha outside her room and staged it to look like suicide
The father of a Vogue cover model found dead in her dorm room in Bangladesh has filed a murder lawsuit a medical student over his daughter's death, despite officials ruling the cause of death a suicide.
Nearly two weeks after Raudha Athif, 21, a second-year student at Islami Bank Medical College in Rajshahi city, was found dead in an apparent suicide by hanging, her father, Mohamed Athif filed a lawsuit against one of her female classmates.
Athif, who made an appeal for 'a fair investigation' alleged that the classmate strangled his daughter outside her dorm room and later staged it to look like a suicide.
Raudha Athif, a Vogue cover model found dead in her dorm room in Bangladesh, was murdered by extremists for not wearing Islamic clothing and did not kill herself, her family have claimed
The model's (far left) fame grew and she eventually landed on the cover of Vogue India in October last year
Athif's case was filed with the Rajshahi Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, and later accepted by the Metropolitan Magistrate Saiful Islam, according to The Daily Star.
An autopsy report carried out in Bangladesh ruled Maldives native's death as suicide before her burial on Saturday.
But her brother has since insisted that Raudha, who was Muslim, was murdered and that her death was made to look like a suicide.
Her father Mohammed Athif has also dismissed the suggestion she took her own life, writing on Twitter: 'Maldivian medical student and my daughter Raudha Athif did not commit suicide. She was murdered at her hostel room. I've the facts.'
Marks on her neck the family claimed to have seen were dismissed by the autopsy report as birthmarks - but Rayyan said she had none of these.
Athif claims he saw finger marks on his daughter's neck.
Police from her native Maldives are said to have met with Bangladesh's Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP) and medical college bosses amid heightened speculation over the death.
The Dhaka Tribune quoted Amin Hossain, assistant commissioner of RMP Detective Branch, as saying there was a '50 per cent chance that she did not commit suicide'.
The door was locked from the inside and students broke into the room when they discovered Raudha's body.
'We primarily suspect it is a suicide case. However, we can't come to any conclusion until we get the autopsy report,' said the officer-in-charge Zillur Rahman.
Her father Mohammed Athif has also dismissed the suggestion she took her own life and insisted on Twitter that her daughter was murdered
Her body was recovered by police at around midday on Wednesday last week after classmates found their fellow student dead in her hostel room at Islami Bank Medical College (pictured)
In Athif's case statement, he said that no one but the classmate he has accused of murdering his daughter saw her hanging from the ceiling.
He said he 'can't understand how anyone could break into the room without leaving any sign of forced entry'.
A week before her death, Raudha had complained that the accused classmate had mixed sedatives into her juice, Athif said.
She also exchanged text messages with the accused classmate, and the messages show a bitter relationship between the two women, Athif claimed.
Athif claimed that the accused knew Raudha's phone and social media passwords and misused Raudha's accounts after her death.
Alamin Hossain, assistant commissioner of DB in the district, said the force was investigating the case.
Raudha's body was recovered by police at around midday on March 29 after her classmates found her dead.
The body was sent to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital for an autopsy, according to The Daily Star.
Two weeks ago, Mahmuda Begum, the superintendent of the female hostel, said the model 'always looked happy,' and added, 'it is hard to believe she would commit suicide'.
Ms Begum said: 'I was in my chamber. Suddenly, I heard screams of my students.
'Rushing to the second floor of this six-storey building, I saw some of the students trying to break the door of Athif's room.'
An autopsy report carried out in Bangladesh ruled her death as suicide before her burial on Saturday
Her brother, Rayyan Athif, told The Sun today that extremists were behind her death and that she was targeted for standing up for people bullied over their religious issues.
'There have been a series of murders in Bangladesh which have been staged to look like suicides and Islamic extremists have been suspected to be behind these atrocities,' he said.
'Her style of clothing was branded as 'immodest' and 'un-Islamic' even though she adhered to the dress code in the college premises by wearing a veil covering her face.
'But she was criticised for wearing jeans and was repeatedly told she couldn't wear it at the Muslim college - which has a lot of extremist connections and support. Other students have also been subjected to this type of bullying.'
The model's first major breakthrough was a stunning image taken by photographer Sotti called 'Maldivian Girl With Aqua Blue Eyes,' which was praised by the former president of the Maldives over social media.
The picture made her an internet sensation in 2014. Her fame grew and she eventually landed on the cover of Vogue India in October last year.
'Modelling is a hobby rather than a career for me, since I'm studying to become a doctor,' she told Vogue.

Wii U, the next generation of Nintendo consoles will change your game way
At the the United States E3 past several days ago, Nintendo released its next-generation console, named Wii U. The core content of Wii U is the controller be added with a 6.2-inch touch screen, players can use the controller play interactions with the video game.
At the same time, through a wireless connection, the player can shift the TV game play half-way to the console handle, then adults will no longer have to snatch TV with their children.
Nintendo found lightning in a bottle with the Wii, and with the Wii U--the company’s upcoming console--it might have found the bottling plant. The Wii U builds on the barriers broken by the Wii and takes advantage of a touch-screen-equipped controller that offers you a new way to interact withgames paired with a console capable of HD visuals.
As with the Wii, the controller is the heart of the Wii U. On the face of the controller you'll find a 6.2-inch touch screen (Nintendo declined to say whether it was multitouch capable). A stylus slides out of the controller for use on the touch screen (which makes us think it's based on resistive touch technology).
The matte screen has great viewing angles and offers vividcolors and brightness, making it ideal for use by two people at the same time at very off angles. The pixeldensityseems to be high enough to put it on par withmodern smartphones.
The controller is capable of playing games even if the TV is being used at the moment for something else, like watching shows. It's portable in a sense, but only within wireless reach of the main console, because all of the controller's visuals are generated by the console and then streamed to the controller.
Digression: Many things make us unhappy because "happiness" is not what we pursuit,but "more happier than others"instead. Wish you like this!

Bethenny Frankel's Emotional Miscarriage Talk
Reality star Bethenny Frankel recently got choked up when talking about her miscarriage in an upcoming episode of her talk show Bethenny.
"You blame yourself as a woman. And I accidentally found out from my doctor that it would've been a girl … so for me it was thinking about Bryn [her daughter] running around with another girl," she says about the traumatic experience.
Frankel previously discussed her miscarriage at age 41 in the July issue of Glamour, where she explained that at her age, it was already a "high risk" pregnancy.
"It can be different for everybody. For me, it's that I'm older. I'm 41. That was ringing in my head and that it's high risk," she explains. "But, I'm lucky to have my first child. For some people, they're trying to have their first child, so they're going through that. And then, am I going to adopt? Am I damaged? What's my husband going to think of me?"
She also admits that she even felt guilty about feeling bad about her loss.
" ... People who have one [child], feel guilty talking about being upset about [it] even if it's you have two kids and you wanted to have a third. You feel guilty that there are other people that can't even have one. Everyone is going through their own experiences. For some people, in their mind, their perfect life is to have three kids and if they can't make that happen, or if they want to have a boy for their husband …
"It's a loss," Dr. Raj interrupts. " ... and you have to mourn it like any other loss."
Bethenny airs weekdays at 11 a.m.on Fox.

We have 5 copies of The Stone of Destiny to be won, signed by author Caroline Logan. All you need to do is answer the question at the bottom of the page. Entries close at midnight on Sunday 2 February. All entrants must reside in the UK. Full terms and conditions(this will open in a new window) apply.
About The Stone of Destiny
Caroline Logan has created a beautiful fantasy world inspired by Scottish myths, featuring selkies, kelpies, and ceasg – to name just a few! The story is set on the fictional island of Eilanmòr, where Ailsa has convinced herself that she is quite happy living alone on a secluded beach, far away from society. All her life, she has been ostracised and detested due to a mark on her face which the people of Eilanmòr believe signifies that she is a changeling, a faerie child who took the place of a sick human baby.
However, Ailsa’s life is about to change. After she saves two selkies from bloodthirsty raiders, they ask her to protect them during their mission to retrieve the Stone of Destiny, a mythical stone that is needed to crown the new king and protect the realm against evil forces – in particular, the evil faerie queen Nicnevan.
As Ailsa journeys north with Harris, a mischievous selkie, and Angus, the Prince of Eilanmòr, they develop a strong friendship. Between near-death experiences, thrilling ceilidhs and terrifying creatures in the forest, Ailsa slowly learns that opening up to others and being vulnerable can be just as much a source of strength as her skill with an axe. This is a truly magical adventure for older teens, with an excellent combination of laugh out loud moments, daring escapes and heartfelt themes of found family and self-acceptance.
Interview with Caroline Logan
What inspired you to write this book?
I love to read YA Fantasy but they all seem to be very based in English and Welsh mythology. I wanted to write a story that explored Scottish myths and legends because they are so interesting.
The story is full of Scottish folklore. Did you do a lot of research for the book, and did you enjoy it?
In terms of mythology, I did a lot of research. I already had an idea of which myths I wanted to use, but I had to check I was getting them right. I love reading and writing about monsters so this was my favourite part of writing the book. One of the creatures, the bog monster, was actually inspired from a story my friends and I made up when we went on our outward bound trip in Primary 7.
Is there anything you can tell us about what to expect next?
I'm currently more than halfway through the sequel to The Stone of Destiny, titled The Cauldron of Life. It's the second in a four part series. So far, I think it's a bit darker, and even more exciting. We'll see all the main characters from The Stone of Destiny plus many new ones. The cast is a lot more diverse as Ailsa starts to explore more of the world, but the monsters also become a lot more frightening.

1. “I don’t know…”
A partner emotionally unavailable is often ‘stood away’ or detached from their deepest and most uncomfortable emotions. He or she has difficulty recognizing, identifying and discussing a difficult feeling. This lack of insight is glaringly evident in the midst of conflict. The ability to understand unpleasant emotions improves a person’s insight and self-awareness. These introspective capacities help an individual to grow and evolve and often prevent him from repeating a mistake in a relationship.
When a partner is asked why they did something insensitive, reckless, or hurtful in the relationship and they respond with “I don’t know,” it may indicate that they are unable to recognize and discuss important feelings. The exception to the “I don’t know” position is a partner’s tendency to use a past ordeal to excuse wrongdoing. Instead of looking within and trying to understand the emotional contributions to a faux pas, an emotionally unavailable person often uses past difficulty to elicit sympathy and escape “the cold shower”. For example, Helen calls Frank’s boss without his permission to discuss Frank’s insecurity about speaking at a corporate event. Franck can’t believe his ears during a meeting when his boss jokes about it and refers to the conversation with Hélène. Shocked and pissed off, Franck arrives home and confronts Hélène. Hélène is outraged that Franck is upset and angrily replies, “I was trying to help you, Franck.” Franck asserts himself again and asks why she didn’t discuss her thoughts with him before calling his boss. Hélène’s anger intensifies and she shouts: “I don’t know, Franck! I was trying to help! I don’t know!” The discussion is unproductive and escalates, so Franck excuses himself and goes for a walk. When he returns, Hélène is in the kitchen. Instead of communicating with awareness of how she hurt Franck, she said, “I had a bad day, Frank. That’s the last thing I want to talk about. I was trying to do something nice for you. I guess you just don’t like it.”
Frank is confused. Helen lacks the ability to consider the impact of his behavior, refuses to talk about the thought process that led to his error in judgment, and blames him for his unpleasant day. His shortcomings in responsibility and insight wrongly convince Franck that he is responsible for raising an issue in an effort to understand it and prevent it from happening again. Now Franck is doubly hurt and confused.
Making a mistake in a relationship and communicating an understanding of its impact on a loved one is emotionally smart. A person who is unable to self-reflect, truly understand a partner’s point of view, and discuss deeper feelings leading to insensitive action may repeatedly repeat, “I don’t know” when asked to look inside and discuss a feeling. Problems are rarely solved in a healthy way because the emotionally unavailable partner is inflexible and defensive.
2. “I didn’t do that…”
Due to an emotionally inept individual’s need to protect a deeply fragile ego, he or she operates with multiple unconscious defense mechanisms and swollen. Deflection allows a person to automatically kick out “threatening” data. Denying wrongdoing is common because a person subconsciously changes the script in their mind. Extreme cognitive distortions, also called thought errors, then allow an individual to rewrite history and positioning oneself as victim or hero.
In the example above, Helen is acting disrespectfully. She humiliates her husband and refuses to see his actions as hurtful. She says the phone call is an attempt to help, but in reality it may represent Helen’s need to be the hero of the relationship. Faced with a fait accompli, she assumes the position of victim and continues to evade sincere responsibility by blaming her actions on a bad day.
Hero/victim distortions create an alternate reality in which one partner is consistently “innocent” and “honorable” despite their manipulative and mean behavior. The need to constantly be the savior in a relationship is a way for a person emotionally immature to feel powerful. Yet gaining power in this selfish way weakens a loved one. In many cases, the emotionally intelligent partner stuck in this dynamic experiences deep self-doubt because their reality is continually questioned and juxtaposed with distortions.
3. “You are the one who…”
During a confrontation, it is common for an emotionally unavailable partner to redirect guilt on the person who raises a problem. Ignoring the issue at hand and unfairly blaming the other person for whatever comes to mind is a convenient way toavoid responsibility. “You are the selfish one! Remember when you ignored me on Wednesday when I needed you? What was that? How do you explain that?”
Unfairly assigning guilt, or using gaslighting, is often an effective diversion because the person being attacked is shocked and hurt by the unfair accusations. It’s nearly impossible to keep your cool in the face of this behavior, and often a person’s first impulse is to defend themselves. the emotionally unavailable partner successfully brushes aside guilt and discussion of himself.
A solidly defensive partner may be emotionally retarded and disconnected from the skills needed to resolve conflict: empathy, insight, openness, and responsibility. Understanding the manipulations that occur during conflict can help an emotionally intelligent person navigate the dysfunctional dynamics and maintain their own sanity.

Every American is given the right to bear arms, as laid out in the second amendment of the United States Constitution. But the right to firearm possession varies a great deal from state to state. Whether you are new to Indiana or simply misinformed, it is not difficult to end up in trouble for the illegal possession of firearms.
One of the most commonly misunderstood areas of the law in Indiana is when and where you can carry a weapon, either openly or concealed. This guide is designed to help you understand when — and who — can and cannot carry a handgun in the state of Indiana. Keep in mind that this is by no means a conclusive list. For more information, contact an attorney.
Who can’t legally purchase a firearm?
- Minors or anyone younger than 18
- Anyone between the ages of 18 and 23 who has been convicted as a juvenile for a crime that would be a felony for an adult
- Anyone who is determined to not have “moral character” or be a “proper person”
- Convicted felons or anyone convicted of a violent crime
Where can’t you legally possess a firearm even if you have a license?
- Schools and school property, whether they be public or private (this includes head start programs, preschools, or even places being used temporarily for a school function)
- Government buildings such as courthouses, the Indiana State House, and the Indiana Government center or on State Fair grounds
- On aircrafts and in restricted areas of an airport
- On property owned by the Army Corps of Engineers
If you attempt to carry a handgun without a license, you will have committed a Class A misdemeanor. If convicted, you can face a fine of up to $10,000 and/or a year in jail. If you are convicted of possessing a handgun and you have a prior felony conviction and/or a prior conviction for unlawfully possession a handgun, you could face a Level 5 Felony, which increases your possible penalty range of 1 to 6 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
If you bring a firearm to a school, school function, or school bus, you have committed a Level 6 felony, which is punishable by a fine of as much as $10,000 and/or six months to two-and-a-half years in prison.
Firearm possession in the secured area of an airport is a Class A misdemeanor, requiring up to a $5,000 fine and/or up to a year of jail time. Possessing a firearm on an airplane is a Level 5 Felony, which can lead to a $10,000 fine and or two to six years of prison time.
What to Do if You Are Charged With Firearm Possession
If you have made a mistake and have been charged with violating the carry laws in Indiana, it is important that you understand the severity of your situation. Reach out to a criminal defense attorney who is familiar with the laws surrounding firearm possession.

R85A2 Assault Rifle Replica
A replica presented by Army Armament will definitely satisfy any fan of Great Britain – it is an airsoft equivalent of the well-known, British standard issue assault rifle. The replica was made with the use of materials similar to those used in the production of live firearm. Very good craftsmanship together with a massive, tight construction and weight that closely resembles that of the original makes this replica a truly impressive sight to see.
The body was made from an embossed steel sheet, other metal parts include the outer barrel, fixed iron sights, carrying handle and magazine. The stock has a thick, rubber pad. Parts made from a reinforced polymer include the handguard, pistol grip and cheek pad.
The bull-pup design allowed for the use of a 510mm long barrel, while the replica has a total length of 790mm. Once the carrying handle has been removed, the user gains access to a top, 20mm mounting rail, dedicated for SUSAT optical sight, as in the original firearm. Inside the pistol grip is a small compartment, which can store, for example, small tools or spare batteries.
The implementation of front, 22mm RIS rail conversion kit provides a base for attachment of a wide array of additional accessories such as flashlights, tactical grips and optical sights.
Hop-up system can be regulated after the cocking handle has been pulled back. The handle remains in the rear position and can be release upon the press of a bolt-catch button. The battery is stored inside the handguard. In order to remove it, a screw needs to be removed. The battery connectors can be accessed after opening the upper flap of the handguard.
R85A2 features a Blow Back system, which sets the slide replica in motion and provides the user with increased amount of realism and brings the replica even closer to the original.
The replica comes with a metal, hi-cap magazine with a capacity of up to 300 BBs.
The set includes:- a replica
- a magazine
|Muzzle velocity [FPS]|
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
1 J = 326,7 FPS
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.

Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).

"We strongly believe in Mindware's capabilities, coverage model and most importantly, its product portfolio, which complements our location independent computing," he said.
El Khayat said the alliance with Mindware comes at the right time as Riverbed starts combining the different components of the company's application performance platform that utilises some of the technology alliances it has with the likes of Microsoft and EMC. "The two vendors are already important partners of Mindware and for us, Microsoft and EMC play a major role in terms of how we truly take our independent location computing to the next level, whether we look at it from the application exploration mode or storage delivery perspective," he added.

Transportation advocates investigate shifting area's designation
Published 3:00 pm, Saturday, April 23, 2011
In an effort to obtain more transportation funding in the coming years, some area leaders are hoping Midland-Odessa can have its designation changed to that of one larger metropolitan area.
"Given where we're at today, you've got to try what you can," said James Beauchamp, president of the Midland-Odessa Transportation Alliance.
He said conservative estimates show Midland and Ector county residents will contribute more than $317 million in fuel taxes between 2008 and 2014, after diversions, but that less than $121 million will be spent in the area. Of those funds, he said, most were allocated through one-time stimulus or bond funding. To increase the area's rate of return on its tax dollars, Beauchamp said, they began researching last year how the area could have access to additional funding categories so it could at least apply for more federal dollars.
"There's limits on traditional resources as we're funded today," he said.
Presently, Midland and Odessa's transportation planning agency is designated a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) because Midland and Odessa each have populations of more than 50,000 but less than 200,000. The MPO sets transportation priorities and works with local, state and federal governments, along with the private sector, to coordinate highway and transit planning. It's also the designation used by the Federal Transit Administration when determining formula funding, said Linda Cherrington, program manager and research scientist at the Texas Transportation Institute.
Because of the designation of Midland and Odessa as two separate areas, and therefore an MPO, Beauchamp said its access to funding is smaller than it might be if the two were considered one metropolitan area. When an area has a population of greater than 200,000, it no longer is an MPO, but instead is considered a Transportation Management Area (TMA). Cherrington said TMAs have additional responsibilities, authority and flexibility from what the MPO does, but that formula funding would not change because money is allocated based on population data.
"The amount of funding that would come into the area would stay the same," she said. "What could change would be the authority of the MPO, it gives you more flexibility."
Beauchamp, though, said while the funding allocation based on population wouldn't change, the shift would mean Midland-Odessa has direct access to more transportation funding categories than is the case right now and could apply for more money not directly provided. Presently, he said, MPOs have direct access to two funding categories while a TMA would have direct access to five. Plus, he said, in some categories a much larger percentage is designated for use by TMAs than is for MPOs.
"We didn't know how much, but we knew there would be more money available to us going forward," Beauchamp said.
He said the change would make Midland-Odessa the "small fish" among larger metropolitan areas. But, he said, with funding as limited as it is, he thinks it would be more beneficial to be the little one fighting for funding from a bigger pool than the "big fish" applying for part of a smaller pool of money. "If there's no money here to compete for, you're better off getting what you can of the leftovers in the other category," he said.
Having the area shifted from an MPO to a TMA, though, requires more than just asking.
Cherrington said an area is classified once every 10 years based on census data, including the total population and population density. Any changes being made based on 2010 data will not be announced until the spring of 2012, she said.
But, she said, based on data at the University of Texas at San Antonio's State Data Center, Midland-Odessa will not be bumped up to a TMA. She said while the areas together have a population of greater than 200,000, the space between the two cities is sparsely populated, meaning the region likely won't traditionally qualify as a TMA because its populations are two separate areas.
"We do not expect Midland and Odessa would grow together," she said.
If the region wanted to petition for a TMA designation despite the census data, Beauchamp and Melba Owens, the area Metropolitan Planning Organization executive director, said the MOTOR MPO board and Gov. Rick Perry would have to write U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood asking for the change.
Owens said some of the board has discussed such a petition individually, but that the board as a whole has not brought the issue forward for a vote at this point. Certainly anything that would help boost funding would be a positive, she said. But, she also wants to be sure they're aware of the effects such a change would have on every area transit and transportation entity before applying for any changes.
"All of us are for more money to the region," she said, speaking last week at the Midland-Odessa Urban Transit board meeting about Beauchamp's TMA proposal. "I'm not totally certain there would not be some concerns."
Michael Trost, city councilman and Transit Board member, said if everything went according to plan, the shift could be positive. However, he said, he's concerned a TMA designation would put some of the federal funding used for operating costs by EZ Rider in jeopardy since population areas of more than 200,000 typically can only use those federal funds for capital expenditures. There also is concern less transit funding would come in.
"We have to keep that federal funding coming in to operations," he said, adding with ridership increasing they want to support not hinder the bus system. "I don't want to hurt transit."
John Wilson, McDonald Transit's managing director for Texas and Oklahoma, which includes EZ Rider, said Lubbock is one of a few TMA cities that has an exemption to that rule. It has a TMA designation but still is able to allow federal transit funding to go toward operation costs.
Without such an exemption if a TMA, he said, an operation like EZ Rider "would go under." A proposal has been made to allow for more broad exemptions like Lubbock already has, but that has not been passed yet, he said.
Even if Midland-Odessa petitioned for and was granted TMA status, Cherrington, whose expertise is in federal funding, said it shouldn't change the funding formula process for the area.
"Each of them is a small urbanized area so the funding would not change," she said, adding Lubbock is different because it traditionally qualifies as a TMA. "The census defines the urbanized areas."
Trost and Owens said they would just want to be sure they clearly understand the implications for every entity before any petition is made.
"My only concern is that it be done the right way," Trost said.

Every so often, a video gets released and it makes you think. The unofficial video for The Throne’s (Kanye and Jay Z) single “No Church in the Wild” featuring Frank Ocean is one of those video. In the video, the course of American history has been altered and African Americans are cast in the roles of the slaveowners and Caucasian Americans are the slaves. In what is sure to be a very controversial video, black slaveowners pursue a runaway white slave deep into the woods and it really makes you think about how things would have been different if the roles were reversed. Big props to High5Collective for the video.

It seems that you can’t keep Jay-Z out of the studio nowadays. Jay, whose new collaborative album with Kanye West-Watch the Throne- has yet to be released, revealed that he has already finished two songs for his next solo album. He also revealed that Odd Future‘s breakout star Frank Ocean would appear on one of the two songs already completed. Click the pic to enlarge.

As for when Watch the Throne will be released, no one seems to know. And what is even more surprising is how they have managed to keep the album from leaking.Pre-orders for the regular version, with ten songs, and the deluxe edition, featuring fourteen songs, can be placed here. I, for one, can’t wait until Watch the Throne is released.[source]


An earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale rocked the central Philippines Thursday morning, the US Geological Survey said, with the local seismological service warning of aftershocks and possible damage.
The strong and shallow quake struck Masbate province in the center of the archipelago shortly after 2 a.m. local time (1800 GMT), startling people awake.
The epicenter was 11 kilometers (seven miles) from the nearest village of Miaga, in the town of Uson, on the province’s main island, Masbate, USGS said.
Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more damage than deeper earthquakes, but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
No tsunami warning has been issued.
“It was a bit strong,” Masbate provincial police chief Rolly Albana told AFP.
“I was asleep when we got shaken and woke up.”
Albana said police had not reported any effects from the earthquake.
Uson police chief, Captain Reden Tolledo, said some residents had fled their homes.
“Even I went out because of possible aftershocks,” Tolledo said.
Gregorio Adigue, a disaster official in Dimasalang municipality, said he felt a strong aftershock almost an hour after the quake.
But buildings and other structures in the area did not appear to be damaged, he said.
“Later, we will go by the schools in each village to inspect their buildings,” said Adigue.
Masbate’s education department has reportedly suspended classes for Thursday due to “ongoing aftershocks that are being felt” in the province.
Earthquakes occur daily in the Philippines, along the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire,” an arc of intense seismic and volcanic activity that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific Ocean basin.
Most are too weak to be felt by humans, but strong and destructive ones come at random and no technology is available to predict when and where they will happen.
The country’s civil protection agency conducts regular exercises simulating earthquake scenarios along active fault lines.
The last major earthquake was in October in the northern Philippines.
The magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the mountain town of Dolores in Abra province, injuring several people, damaging buildings and knocking out power in most of the region.
A magnitude 7.0 earthquake in mountainous Abra last July triggered landslides and ground cracks, killing 11 people and injuring hundreds.

For Assam crackdown on child marriage, tough questions by the Supreme Court


WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – The Sedgwick County District Attorney filed charges against 44-year-old William Kabutu of Wichita Monday with one count of murder in the first degree [or in the alternative, murder in the second degree] and two counts of aggravated endangering a child, stemming from the death of a 2-year-old boy who drowned last Tuesday evening.
At approximately 10 p.m. last Tuesday, officers responded to a neighborhood pool in the 1900 block of E. 54th St. S. for a drowning call. Upon arrival, officers contacted the calling-party, who reported observing the boy floating in the neighborhood pool and calling 911. Wichita Fire Department (WFD) personnel pulled the boy from the pool and attempted life-saving measures. However, he succumbed to his injuries.
Through evidence and interviews, the investigation revealed the boy and his 4-year-old brother were taken to the pool by their father, Kabutu, who was allegedly intoxicated.
At the pool, Kabutu allowed the kids to by-pass the pool fence. The 2-year-old entered the pool, was not able to stay above the water, and drowned. Kabutu was not able to access the pool due to a fence and locked gate. Emergency personnel was called after a passerby arrived and called 911.
Kabutu’s bond has been set at $150,000. His next court appearance is set for July 23.

We watched them OVER AND OVER. We knew every word. I especially associate the songs with traveling to Texas every summer when I was about 6-7 years old. I remember that burgundy Chrysler van, and Steve Green's voice just singing away!
I knew I wanted to get them for Evy, and just hadn't gotten around to ordering them online (they're now in DVD format). I was in Lifeway the other day, and happened to see both of the DVDs! I had never seen them there before, and I've looked every time. I was so excited! I brought them home and watched them with Evy.
Note: Please excuse my appearance. I was still getting over the stomach flu!
It brought back such sweet memories, and I can't wait to help Evy memorize Scripture with these precious songs!

It’s a holiday weekend! So what are you doing with your Friday off?
You don’t get Friday off? Of course you don’t, you’re probably in America where you celebrate Independence Day on Monday, July 4. Here in Canada, the holiday is on July 1, this year on Friday: Canada Day.
Canada Day is a federal holiday, an opportunity for Canadians to celebrate all things Canada. Most folks chose to fly the country’s flag, have a picnic, see a free concert and/or watch some fireworks. (Sounds pretty familiar, doesn’t it?)
But as I did some research, I discovered that there are actually some pretty big historical differences between Canada Day and Independence Day. First off, it’s only been called Canada Day since 1982, which was the year that Canada gained full independence from the UK. Before that, it was called Dominion Day, which was meant to commemorate the day in 1867, when three British colonies were joined together as one nation within the British Empire.
While it was an official holiday, it was not dominant on the Canadian calendar until the 20th century, because up to then, most Canadians considered themselves British and just weren’t too interested in specifically Canadian patriotism. It wasn’t until the late 1960s that Dominion Day (now Canada Day) became a more popular holiday to average Canadians.
Even now there is a bit of (somewhat typically) Canadian controversy around the day. In Quebec, some folks feel like Canada Day overshadows Quebec’s National Holiday on June 24, which causes some friction. Sacrebleu!
Compare this to the history of Independence Day in the States. While July 2, 1776, was the day that the Continental Congress voted for US independence from the British, July 4, the date on which the Declaration of Independence was signed, has been widely celebrated across the land since 1777. John Adams even predicted that July 2 would “be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.” He was only off by 2 days, but he wasn’t wrong about how Americans would celebrate the birth of their independence.
And, that’s what I was raised believing July 4th was all about: remembering that our forefathers did something incredible, defying the most powerful country in the world for our ideals and freedom, and fighting and sacrificing for it to happen. Don’t the fireworks just represent the “rockets red glare” and the “bombs bursting in air” that haven’t yet brought down our red, white and blue?
So I will raise my glass to Canada on Canada Day, for it is a good country of good, kind people. But on July 4th, I will remember what it means to be American.

Valerie Jarrett, a staunch ally, speaks candidly about the hurdles LGBTQ people face after Obama. (Photo the White House flicker page)
Talking with Valerie Jarrett, the former Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama, is surreal. On this day, Tuesday, Sept. 19, a day filled with such powerful natural and political thunderclaps, the news is deafening: a massive 7.1 earthquake shakes Mexico City; Maria, the third massive hurricane in a row to hit the Caribbean, becomes as Category 5; Senate Republicans scramble to repeal the Affordable Care Act; Special Prosecutor Bob Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s cyber warfare and interference in the 2016 elections intensifies; and President Donald Trump lectures the UN about national sovereignty, then threatens to “totally destroy North Korea,” bringing the US closer to nuclear war than since the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.
The pall of hatred cast over America during Trump’s dark Inauguration speech has descended in seven months to become like the thick, choking smog of China. It’s hard to see each other through the billowing exhaust of white supremacy. Everyone’s afraid as LGBT rights and Black lives and immigrant promises are blocked from the sun with a shrug from the White House.
Valerie Jarrett is a breath of fresh air, a patch of blue. In advance of her appearance at the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s 48th Anniversary Vanguard Awards at the Beverly Hilton on Saturday, Sept. 23, Jarrett speaks candidly about the election consequences and keeping an eye on the prize of justice and equality for all.
“Obviously, I disagree with the dismantling of many of the important measures that President Obama put in place to create an even playing field and advocate for civil rights for Americans,” Jarrett says in a phone interview. “But elections have consequences. I don’t think we should be surprised about the steps the administration is taking. That’s why President Obama campaigned so hard for Sec. Clinton. And he expressed quite clearly during the campaign what was at stake here.
“But we are where we are,” says the longtime advocate for civil rights and equality. “I try to be a force for good. I try to highlight the positive steps we can take to create a fair and more just country. And I also try to take the long view and know that our democracy is messy– but you can’t give up. You have to just keep fighting.”
But many LGBT people, especially millennials, are still in shock: how can fundamental rights be revoked?
“Well, this is the challenge. You can never take equal rights for granted. You have to constantly reinforce their importance. And we can never afford to become complacent. It is a real blow, particularly to young people who grew up with President Obama fighting on their behalf,” Jarrett says. “But part of the lesson here is that we all have a responsibility, a collective and an individual responsibility, to fight for what is just and what is right.”
Jarrett say she is “heartened” to see so many people running for office, showing up for city council meetings, becoming active in their communities.
“That’s the bright light for us all to see—people who are willing to turn their outrage and their frustration and their anger into constructive action to fight for justice,” she says. “I’m just heartened to see so many young people who are rolling up their sleeves and engaging in their local communities. They are constructive forces for good. We can’t allow our frustration or our discouragement to paralyze us. It should motivate us to take action.”
It is imperative to take the long view. “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice—if we all push in the same direction. I think reminding everyone of that responsibility of citizenship means that you have to be engaged,” she says, noting that 43 percent of eligible voters didn’t vote in 2016. “It’s very hard. I’m not trying to sugar coat how painful and hard it is—not just the people whose lives are directly affected, but for those of us who believe in a country where our fundamental value is based in civil rights for all.”
This belief is at the root of her deep 26-year friendship with Barack and Michelle Obama, whom she first met when they were just out of law school and she tried to recruit then-Michelle Robinson to join her working for Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.
“Part of why the three of us clicked so long ago was because we shared this passion for social justice,” she says. “We felt a responsibility to give back and to try to fight for people who needed advocates—to have this sense that we are all in this together and so I can’t just fight for my civil rights, I have to fight for your civil rights, too.”
Jarrett, who was very involved in the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and lifting the ban against transgender military service, says she “can’t imagine” why the Trump administration is seeking to re-impose the trans ban.
“I’m not in a position to guess their motivation,” she says. “I just believe that anyone who is prepared to serve and sacrifice for our country should be given permission to do so. And should be supported in doing so. We owe our men and women in the military an enormous debt of gratitude for their service and their sacrifice. Why deny somebody the opportunity to do that?”
Jarrett points to Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s powerful statement reacting to the trans ban. Duckworth, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and helicopter pilot, lost both her legs in 2004 in Iraq.
“When I was bleeding to death in my Black Hawk helicopter after I was shot down, I didn’t care if the American troops risking their lives to help save me were gay, straight, transgender, black, white or brown. All that mattered was they didn’t leave me behind,” Duckworth said.
“There are already transgender people serving our country admirably, making great sacrifices for our country. Why would you try to change that? It’s not true to our core values,” says Jarrett.
The Obama administration took LGBT rights seriously. “From Day One, President Obama directed us to fight for equality everywhere and to look at all of the different ways in which there was inequality and level the playing field,” Jarrett says. “And so that was our mission. And it was important to him to be an advocate for everyone.
But it was hard to change policy. The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal effort “was herculean,” she says. But now “you don’t hear of any issues. And that is because it was embraced by the Defense Department” so “it wouldn’t be a pyrrhic victory. We wanted to ensure that our LGBTQ brothers and sisters would actually be able to thrive in the military.”
Jarrett has stories, too. “I went to the first LGBT annual celebration that they had during Gay Pride Month at the Defense Department,” she says. “I was moved to tears to see people in uniform who had had to sneak into the White House to see me during the process of repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell for fear of being thrown out of the military. And then, there they were in their uniforms proudly celebrating with the Sec. of Defense. It felt like a thunderbolt because one year they weren’t allowed to be in uniform and the next year, they were.”
That thunderbolt came after years of sustained hard work, fighting against those entrenched in the status quo. “They’re threatened by change—and change is never easy. It always takes longer than it should, it’s more painful than it should be, but ultimately, that arc of the moral universe does bend towards justice.”
But Jarrett is no Pollyanna. “I am optimistic,” she says. “But I know people are scared and feeling very vulnerable and under attack. All Americans have a responsibility to make it clear that the LGBT community doesn’t stand alone. We all stand with the entire community. We all have to lock arms together and look out for one another.
“Believe me, I know this is hard,” Jarrett continues. “And it is shocking, particularly to young people who I think have been perhaps lulled into a false sense of security. But our democracy is worth fight for and it’s something every citizen can do. It’s within their power to do it. So let’s do it.
“Every voice matters. Every person, everyone in this country can be that force for good,” says Valerie Jarrett. “It is no time to feel paralyzed and or to feel hopeless because we can all be a part of that positive force for change.”

Today T-ara kind of a controversial group because they're a group who did a lot of plastic surgery and they also had a bullying scandal where fans thought that they had been bullying a girl who joined the group later. I think it turned out to be totally not true and it was all a bunch of rumours and speculation but their image still suffered a bit and they lost some endorsement deals. However they are still one of the most consistent groups they have a bunch of songs which became popular. They have a loyal fanbase and they never really seem to fail with their songs.
They have a heavy electronic influence in pretty much all of their songs and their mostly dance or maybe work out music :).
A bunch of their songs also have a disco feel to them
So what do you think? ;)
Most Helpful Girl
Never heard them before but I like how they sound. :)1

LG recently introduced a 17-inch ultralight laptop, which we thought would be interesting to take a look at in light of rumors suggesting Apple may be planning to introduce a 16 to 16.5-inch MacBook Pro in the future.
We compared the LG Gram to a 15-inch MacBook Pro, but we also thought it might be fun to take a look at Apple's old 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro at the same time, as it was the last larger-display notebook Apple released.


Mold Removal, Remediation & Testing in Cardiff, NJ – 08232, 08234
Cardiff is a community located in Egg Harbor Township. Egg Harbor itself is one of the oldest areas in New Jersey, being established in 1614. Many homes in Cardiff were established more than 100 years ago. Some as old as 300 years.
If you need mold removal or testing in Cardiff, why is this so important to know?
Well, it’s pretty simple.
Communities with old homes, near wet and moist environments (like the Atlantic Ocean) are extremely vulnerable to mold contamination. Many of these homes are not up to modern building codes. The foundations are degrading. The wood structures have suffered decade after decade of degradation and deterioration.
So naturally, this creates the perfect environment for mold to grow.
If you find mold in your Cardiff home, especially if it’s an older residence, you need to treat this problem with upmost level of caution. Mold testing can be done to determine if the home is currently contaminated by any toxic microbiological compounds. In the scientific community, they are specifically referred to as “mycotoxins” or “VOC’s” which are Volatile Organic Compounds.
Mold colonies are well known to emit these toxins. And many of these toxins are well known carcinogens. These toxins can have vast, systemic effects on your health and impact your entire immune system. If you’re curious about what symptoms to watch out for, just watch our video.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a free mold inspection in Cardiff, NJ – give us a call at 908-60-1307.
We provide a full range of services from mold testing, remediation, basement waterproofing and foundation repair. Our senior experts have been featured on CBS and we are well known for out outstanding reputation in this field. So please, do not hesitate to reach out.

Greta Gerwig, fresh off her critical success Lady Bird, delivers the seventh adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel, Little Women, and I absolutely adored it. Gerwig continues to force her way into the conversation of best directors and writers working today, and after only her first two films, to imagine she hasn’t done her best work…is that even possible? Can a film so good truly exist? As long as Saoirse Ronan is in it, I’ll be happy.
Little Women offers everything you would want in a period piece, from the costumes to the ballroom dances and carriage rides, to the beautiful yet often critical language. Alexandre Desplat, whose work won him an academy award for The Shape of Water, offers a finely tuned score that plays with our emotions as much as Timothée Chalamet’s face. But I find that the most important aspect of the film, is that despite the era it is set in, it remains relevant to today; it’s a classic tale of feminism but supplied with modernity. Gerwig assures aspiring young women can see themselves in the March sisters, and that they can relate to their struggles and hardships, but also revel in their successes. So often, the most complained about “feminist icons” in films are discredited because they are placed into the position of the hero and role model before having earned it, but in Little Women the March sisters naturally develop into strong characters, specifically Jo and Amy (the precisely fierce Saoirse Ronan and endearingly boisterous Florence Pugh, respectively). They are human, not without flaws, but also are determined to have what they want and won’t let anyone, not even snarky old Aunt March (Meryl Streep is a scene-stealer), get in their way. As Gerwig bounces between two timelines in telling the well-known story, the sisters’ colorful early days and sobering adulthoods, she is not preachy nor indifferent, finding perfect balance in creating the central theme of female independence and passion for art.
While it is the film’s playful youth that may grab the most attention, it is the underlining maturity which elevates the film. Gerwig has fun with scenes such as when Jo and Laurie erratically dance from window to window outside a New Year’s party, or when the sisters at one of their meetings break out their best parodies of officeholders, but it is in scenes when the film transitions into earnestness that it is most successful in accomplishing sincerity. Moments such as Beth and Jo reminiscing on the beach for the last time, or when Chris Cooper’s Mr. Laurence listens to Beth playing his granddaughter’s piano acting as examples of this. And this emotional maturity is not demonstrated by anyone more than Laura Dern as Marmee. You see glimpses of the pain her character hides so well, while her selfless kindness warms the film. As I’m sure other mothers can relate, Marmee is the glue which holds the family together, and in doing so, the film too. “I’m not patient by nature, but with nearly forty years of effort I have learned to not let it get the better of me.”
Little Women will break your heart and melt it too; I cannot think of a more delightfully charming film. 9.5/10

How To Talk To Your Partner About Swinging
Published April 15th, 2008
So you think you want to be a swinger, but you’re not sure how to bring the topic up to your partner. You’re worried about upsetting them, or that they won’t understand why you want to do this. Well, we’ll get to the talk in a minute, but before you’re ready to have that discussion there are some things you need to think about.
The first thing you need to do is take a look at yourself. Ask yourself, “Why do I really want to do this?” It’s great if the thought of swinging excites you, or if you can’t wait to get out and meet other couples. But it’s important that you keep in mind that this is just as much about your partner as it is about you. Does the thought of seeing them with someone else excite you? If you love the idea of seeing your partner pleasing and being pleased by someone else, then you’re in the right place. If it still makes you jealous or uncomfortable, you may want to re-examine your reasons for wanting to do this. Now, everyone has some natural jealousy, and it’s something that can be worked through if you’re willing to do so. But you want to make sure that you’re attracted to swinging for your partner’s benefit and not just for your own pleasure.
You also need to examine the status of your relationship. How often do you tell each other that you love one another? Is it every day? How often do you tell your partner how much you desire them? These things are important to having a secure relationship. If you and your partner are secure in your relationship you will be much less likely to experience feelings of jealousy or the feeling of being threatened by another. In a successful swinging relationship, both partners understand that they are the most important thing in the world to each other and nothing anyone else could do could ever affect that.
The keys to having a happy relationship as swingers are trust, respect, and open communication. If you can truly trust each other, respect each other’s boundaries, and communicate openly and honestly about your feelings and what you want from swinging, you will likely be successful and happy as swingers, and it will even have the potential to make your relationship even stronger. Discussing your innermost fantasies with your partner will increase your ability to communicate about other things, not just sex. Opening up to your partner in this way also fosters a greater intimacy between the two of you. And watching your spouse with someone else can make you desire them even more than before!
However, you may not be ready to be swingers. If your relationship is already having issues with trust, respect, communication, (or any other major issue) swinging will not improve these things. In fact, it’s likely to make them worse. If you don’t trust your partner you will feel jealous seeing them with someone else. If you don’t respect each other and your boundaries you will be fighting all the time over what should be allowed. And how can you possibly hope to get what you want out of swinging if you can’t communicate it with your partner? If your relationship is troubled or unhappy, you need to fix that first before you consider swinging. If you are to the point of being uncertain about your feelings for someone, it is even possible swinging could tear you apart.
So if you’ve considered all this, and you feel that swinging would be a good fit for your relationship, how do you bring your partner to that same realization? It’s finally time to sit down and have the talk. Find someplace they will feel comfortable, with no distractions. This is a good time to spend a night in.
Be honest with your partner. Tell them what you’ve been thinking about, and why. You probably want to tell them now what kinds of experiences you’ve been hoping to share, instead of just leaving it up to their imagination. Your partner needs to understand that you know this is about both of you, and not just your desires.
Explain to them also that swinging is about mutual respect and commitment, that you would never do anything against their wishes or anything that would make them uncomfortable. Make them understand that they have the control to say no.
Something else you may want to keep in mind as you have this talk, and possibly bring up with your partner as a point in your favor, is that swinging can be good for your relationship. As swingers you will have to keep the discussion about sex and your relationship going all the time, and the more you talk (openly and honestly) about your relationship the stronger it will be. And when you continually see how special and desirable your spouse is in the eyes of others, it makes it impossible to take them for granted. Many vanilla relationships fall into a rut where as the couple sees each other every day, they become bored with each other. They are drawn to cheat because others outside the relationship appear exotic and exciting. When you are swinging, it is impossible to forget how unique your spouse is and what attracted you to them in the first place, because you can watch them through the eyes of others who are just discovering a sexual attraction to them.
So maybe your partner is interested in swinging and wants to discuss it with you. In fact, they could have already been thinking about it on their own, and just didn’t know how to bring it up to you. If this is the case, you’re ready to move on to the next stage of the talk.
It’s also possible your partner needs more time to think things through. Let them know you’re ready to talk whenever they want. Its okay to bring the subject up again later (“So have you been thinking about our discussion the other night?”) But make sure you don’t pressure them. The more pressure they feel from you the less likely they are to want to do this.
The other possibility is that your partner has no interest in swinging whatsoever. If that’s the case, then that’s the decision you’ll have to stick with. Everyone is wired differently, and some people have no interest in being with more than one person, or being with someone they don’t love. Not everyone enjoys recreational sex, and you can’t change someone’s mind about this. Let them know it’s still on the table if they ever want to talk about it again, and then you have to let it go.
If both you and your partner are interested in swinging then you’re ready to move on to the next step. It’s time for the two of you to discuss all of your fantasies. Let your partner know what you want from swinging, and listen to what they want. Make sure you discuss things you don’t want to do as well. Let them know anything that makes you uncomfortable. Listen to what they have to say about what they don’t want to do and agree to respect it. Set up some boundaries that you can agree on.
This is a conversation you want to keep going. As you settle into a swinger’s lifestyle, you want to keep the lines of communication open, and continue to discuss with your partner what you want. Many couples set stricter boundaries in the beginning and then relax them over time as they become more comfortable. So if you’re ready to dive right in but your partner just wants to attend a party and watch, don’t push it. If you support them and let them go at their own pace, then it’ll be that much easier for them to open up and then both of you will get to experience your fantasies coming true.
Remember, if the two of you want to give swinging a try and see if it’s a fit for you, you don’t have to be 100% positive about your decision to become swingers when you’re just starting out. Just be honest about where you’re at and go at your own pace. But it is important that you’re certain how you feel about each other. Follow the rules that you have established with your partner. Always remember to respect each other and enjoy the journey both of you will be taking together. Life is too short to walk through it with your eyes closed. Open them up and see what swinging can do for your relationship.

The DNC Contenders Are Not Interested In Your Populist Moment
More of the same. "The seven leading candidates to serve as the next chair of the Democratic National Committee gathered at George Washington University on Wednesday night to dodge key questions about party reform and pander to the 447 insiders who will elect the next Democratic leader. At a debate sponsored by The Huffington Post, contenders repeatedly called for “unity” and made vague calls for better “organizing” while sidestepping important issues about how the DNC should govern its future affairs. Many committed Democrats are following the DNC race as a fight for the future of the party. After a devastating presidential defeat and nearly a decade of steady losses in Congress and at the state level, there aren’t many other political battles for party activists to focus on. But the candidates themselves are not catering to grass-roots organizers or rank-and-file voters. They’re seeking the support of a majority of DNC members and doing their damnedest to avoid ruffling any feathers. If any of the candidates on stage Wednesday were auditioning to serve as the opposition leader against President-elect Donald Trump, s/he managed to fool everyone. "

The Easy Way To Find Out If You’ve Been Part Of A Data Breach
With every passing day, our online identities become more and more important. Online banking, stock trades, information about our vehicles, etc. All the more reason we need to stay vigilant when it comes to our online accounts. If you have any concerns that you may have been part of a data breach, you should visit this website.
Have I Been Pwnd compares your email address to email addresses listed on its database of accounts compromised by data breaches.
Recently, the site was updated to work with phone numbers, too. As we are seeing an increase in not only phone scams, but also text-based scams, it only makes sense.
Once you've entered your address and hit the "pwnd?" button, the site gives you the number of times (if any) that your email address has been part of a breach. If you scroll down, it will give you specifics (including the site or service, the year, and what type of data was compromised) for each breach.
Their database is very thorough. It goes back DECADES. Apparently, one of my email addresses was part of a Myspace breach that happened back in 2006!
While the Pwnd database is updated several times per hour, they do not necessarily have every breach. So, even if a search on the site comes up with no issues, you're going to want to be vigilant about keeping an eye on your digital identity.
Have you ever been part of a data breach? What happened? Did the hackers ever use your information? Tell us your story by sending us a message through our app or on Facebook.


About The Web Buttons
Clipart for white backgrounds (BGs) are best used on web pages with white or very light colored backgrounds. The images don't actually have a white BG, they have a white matte or matting. If you used these gifs on a black web page, for example, a small white halo would be seen around the image. However, if you use them on a light colored web page they would look the same as they appear right now.
Buttons with transparent backgrounds may be used on any color web site but look their best on medium and dark backgrounds including black.
The blanks were created so you may add your own text if needed.

“Dallas” icon Larry Hagman has confirmed he is winning his battle with throat cancer.
The actor was diagnosed with the disease days before shooting began on the re-launch of the legendary TV drama, but he was determined to keep working during his treatment.
His co-star Patrick Duffy revealed last month that Hagman has been given “a clean bill of health,” and now the actor has spoken out to confirm he is in remission from the disease.
Hagman tells British magazine OK!, “Yes, I got cancer while shooting ‘Dallas.’ It was a true challenge and it wasn’t fun. I had to get chemotherapy and radiation treatment. They gave me a lot of time between my scenes. And thank goodness, I beat that thing. I am in remission now. All good!”
