LinkedIn Password Hack: Check To See If Yours Was One Of The 6.5 Million Leaked

Posted on by

LinkedIn user data was jeopardized Wednesday when reports surfaced that 6.5 million passwords were leaked and posted on a Russian hacker site. Websites offering a LinkedIn password hack check likeLeakedIn quickly popped up so users could find out if their password was one of the 6.5 million – or more – leaked.

Don’t fret, all may not be lost if you’re one of the many who use the same password or a variant for your email and social networking logins. LeakedIn and LastPass, which also features a LinkedIn password check tool, enable users to check if their password was leaked. The sites change their LinkedIn password to a SHA-1 hash, which is then automatically compared to the 6.5 million-password database to determine if the password was hacked.

10 Life-Enhancing Things You Can Do in Ten Minutes or Less

It usually takes us much longer to change our moods than we’d like it to take. Here are ten things you can do in ten minutes or less that will have a positive emotional effect on you and those you love.

1.    Watch “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch. See it online at Oprah.com. This is a deeply moving segment that may be the best ten minutes you’ve ever invested in front of a computer.

2.    Spend a little while watching the sunset with your mate. Nothing extra is necessary. Just sit and take in the natural beauty of the sky and appreciate being able to share it with the one you love.

3.    Sit quietly by yourself. It doesn’t really matter where or when. Just let your feelings bubble up and then experience the thoughts flowing out of your mind. Clearing your head and heart will give you extra energy to get through the rest of the day.

4.    Write a thank you note to your mate. When was the last time you thanked your partner for just being who he or she is and being with you? Doing this in writing will give your partner something to cherish for the rest of his or her life.

5.    Take out your oldest family photo album and look through it. The experience will fill you with fond memories and perhaps make you a bit wistful for days gone by.

6.    Play with a child. Most kids have short attention spans; ten minutes of quality time from a loving adult can make their day. It will also help you stay in touch with the child inside of you.

7.    Visualize or imagine a positive outcome for any issue. Medical doctors recommend visualization to patients with chronic and potentially fatal illnesses. If it can help them, it can do the same for you.

8.    Go to bed with the one you love ten minutes earlier than usual. Then spend that time just holding each other. Let the feeling of warmth from your mate move through you.

9.    Hang out by some water. Studies show that hospital patients who can see a natural body of water from their beds get better at a 30 percent faster rate. If you’re not near the coast or a lake, try taking a bath. Doing so is also healing.

10.  Get your body moving. Shake, twist, and jump around. Let yourself feel the joy of moving to your favorite music, or just the sounds in your head. Run, walk, and bike to your hearts content. You will live longer and love it more.

Sadly, many people measure happiness by how long the experience lasts. The truth is that a few minutes of joy here and there can make a big difference in what you get out of life.

Judge Gives Taylor 50 Years for ‘Heinous’ Crimes in War

I’ve been following this issue for a few years now. Its about time Justice is served….

LEI­D­SCHEN­DAM, Nether­lands — Charles G. Tay­lor, the for­mer pres­i­dent of Li­beria and a once-pow­er­ful war­lord, was sen­tenced on Wednes­day to 50 years in prison over his role in atroci­ties com­mit­ted in Sierre Le­one dur­ing its civil war in the 1990s.

The judge pre­sid­ing over the sen­tenc­ing in an in­ter­na­tion­al crim­i­nal court near The Hague said Mr. Tay­lor had been found guilty of “aid­ing and abet­ting, as well as plan­ning, some of the most heinous and bru­tal crimes re­corded in hu­man his­to­ry” and that the lengthy prison term un­der­scored his po­si­tion at the top of gov­ern­ment dur­ing that pe­riod.

“Lead­er­ship must be car­ried out by ex­am­ple by the pros­ecu­tion of crimes, not the com­mis­sion of crimes,” the judge, Rich­ard Lus­sick, said in a state­ment read be­fore the court.

Mr. Tay­lor was the first head of state con­vict­ed by an in­ter­na­tion­al court since the Nu­rem­berg tri­als af­ter World War II.

Pros­e­cu­tors had sought an even longer sen­tence of 80 years. If car­ried out, the term de­cid­ed on Wednes­day would like­ly mean the 64-year-old Mr. Tay­lor will spend the rest of his life be­hind bars. Asked to stand as the sen­tence was read, he looked at the floor.

Ohio’s high court dismisses gay marriage challenge

Rita and John's Marriage Certificate

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – The state’s highest court has dismissed a legal challenge to a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow gay marriage in the state.

Attorney General Mike DeWine had filed a motion in late April, arguing that the Ohio Supreme Court lacked jurisdiction over the legal challenge by opponents of the same sex marriage measure.

The Ohio Campaign to Protect Marriage had claimed DeWine shouldn’t have verified the proposed amendment‘s summary.

The Freedom to Marry coalition wants to repeal a 2004 state constitutional amendment that says Ohio only recognizes a marriage between a man and a woman. The group’s proposal would replace that amendment with one that allows two consenting adults to enter into marriage regardless of their gender.

Obama Pot-Smoking Details Revealed In David Maraniss Book

President Barack Obama addresses the House Dem...

I personally don’t smoke but advocate the legalization of Marijuana. I posting this for news purpose and not because of any personal motive.

The meticulous biographer David Maranissrevealed Barack Obama’s early girlfriendsin an excerpt published in Vanity Fair of his forthcoming biography, and now theinternet is seizing upon new details of the president smoking marijuana with his buddies at the Punahou School in Hawaii.

Politico‘s Playbook teased the following excerpt from “Barack Obama: The Story,” which will be published in June but is already viewable on Google Books. “When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted ‘Intercepted!’ and took an extra hit,” Maraniss writes. But Obama’s buddies, who called themselves the “Choom Gang,” didn’t mind him messing up the rotation. (After all, this was Hawaii.)

That’s not all. Maraniss writes that Obama was known for starting a trend called “TA,” short for “total absorption.”

“When you were with Barry and his pals, if you exhaled precious pakalolo(Hawaiian slang for marijuana, meaning “numbing tobacco”) instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around.
