Cybersecurity experts say the California Department of Justice apparently failed to follow basic security procedures on its website, exposing the personal information of potentially hundreds of thousands of gun owners.The website was designed to only show general data about the number and location of concealed carry gun permits, broken down by year and county. But for about 24 hours starting Monday a spreadsheet with names and personal information was just a few clicks away, ready for review or downloading.Katie Moussouris, founder and CEO of Luta Security, said there should have been access controls to make sure the information stayed out…

Women tend to live longer than men but typically have higher rates of illness. Now, new research from University of Georgia suggests these higher rates of illness can be improved by a better diet, one that is high in pigmented carotenoids such as yams, kale, spinach, watermelon, bell peppers, tomatoes, oranges and carrots. These bright-colored fruits and vegetables are particularly important in preventing visual and cognitive loss. “The idea is that men get a lot of the diseases that tend to kill you, but women get those diseases less often or later so they perseverate but with illnesses that are…

Photography courtesy of Getty Images Say goodbye to the dreaded white cast. By Marriska Fernandes Date July 18, 2022 I’ve always been wary of sunscreen and avoided it for as long as I can remember. Outside of lathering on SPF at the beach, the reason I steered clear of these protective lotions on a day to day basis was because of the white cast they left on my dark skin.

Think “Killpop” from .5: The Gray Chapter, but heavier, and some real soaring notes from the one and only Corey Taylor.Check out the song for yourself below. Read the lyrics to the song here, and see fan reactions…

I saw not one, not two, but 12 pairs of the colourful clogs. Twelve! Everyone from the moms and dads to the tweens, teens and toddlers knew how to style crocs. It looked like we had robbed a Crocs store. But the…
