HOW TO KEEP YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT SAFE AND SECURE

Facebook recently announced that they're adding full HTTPS support for the site, to keep you protected from attacks like Firesheep. The feature's finally rolling out, and here's how you can turn it on.

HTTPS is going to keep you a lot safer on the net, and after lots of waiting, Facebook finally announced support for HTTPS all over the site. It wasn't available at the time of the announcement, but we've seen it pop up in our settings menus this week, so it might be time to take another look at yours. To enable it, just hit "Account" in the upper-right hand corner of any Facebook window and go to "Account Settings".

Under "Account Security", hit the change button and check the box that says "Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible". Hit save and exit that window. From now on, whenever you connect to Facebook, it will default to an SSL-encrypted connection, keeping you safe on open Wi-Fi networks from Firesheep-like attacks. Check out the video below for a quick demo. If you don't have it yet, you should have it pretty soon—so check back frequently to see if it pops up.

Facebook comes with some cool security features that let you prevent any phishing attacks to your profile. You can set your account to ask for computer name every time you login from other device. Also you can remotely remove any associated device to your account.

This feature is beneficial in case if any hacker successfully cracks your Facebook account. You’ll immediately came to know about it and takes proper action (changing your password). Here’s how you can do that:

How to set Facebook to send you email and SMS in case other user login into your account

1. Go to your Facebook account.

2. On the top right go to Account –> Account settings

 

3. Click on the change link next to Account Security.

 

You’ll see Login notifications is set to “off”. Click on the circle next to “On” option.

 

Now your Login notification is “ON”. It means you will be prompted to name your device during your next login.

Note: If you are using public computer don’t check the box next to “Don’t ask me again from this computer”.

It also means that if anyone finds your password and tries to login into your account from any device then he’ll get a “Name New Computer”. page. Without entering the Computer name he can’t get into your account.

 

As soon he enters the the name of his computer (any text), you’ll get a notification as email and SMS that a person login from his computer... If you Connect your moblie and email to FACEBOOK.

How to remotely remove devices associated to your Facebook account

Suppose by mistake you added any public computer as your trusted device. It means if any user using this device login to your account mistakenly then he won’t get the “Name new computer page” and also you won’t get the email and SMS notification after he logged in. Facebook keeps record of all the trusted devices and anytime you can remove those devices from your account. Here’s how you can do that:

1. Go to Facebook account.

2. Go to Account –> Account settings.

3. From the Account Settings page, select “Change” Account Security.

4. You’ll see all the computers and devices associated with your account. It means that these are those devices in which you check the box next to “Don’t ask me again from this computer” after filling your computer name in the box when “Name new computer” page appeared.

In the screenshot given below you can see that it shows time of registering the device. It also has “Remove” link next to it. Click on it to remove the devices associated with your account.

 

That’s all. After removing the account, user won’t be able to login into your account without getting the “Name new computer” page on the removed device.

High-fat diet may injure brain cells regulating weight

Obesity among people who eat a high-fat diet may injure neurons, or nerve cells, in a key part of the brain that controls body weight.

“The possibility that brain injury may be a consequence of the overconsumption of a typical American diet offers a new explanation for why sustained weight loss is so difficult to achieve for most obese individuals,” said study author Joshua Thaler.

Thaler and his colleagues at the Obesity Centre of Excellence at the University of Washington in Seattle, studied the brains of rodents for the short-term and long-term effects of eating a high-fat diet.

After giving groups of six to 10 rats and mice a high-fat diet for periods from one day to eight months, researchers performed detailed biochemical, imaging and cell sorting analyses on the animals’ brains, according to Washington University release.

Within the first three days of consuming a diet that had a similar fat content to the typical American diet, rats consumed nearly double their usual daily amount of calories, Thaler reported.

Rats and mice fed the high-fat diet and gained weight throughout the study. These rodents developed inflammation in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain containing neurons that control body weight.

At the same time, a group of support cells called glia and scavenger cells called microglia accumulated in the hypothalamus and appeared to become activated. Although this collective response to brain inflammation-called gliosis-subsided days later, it recurred after four weeks.

“Gliosis is thought to be the brain equivalent of wound healing and is typically seen in conditions of neuronal injury, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis,” Thaler said. “We speculate that the early gliosis that we saw may be a protective response that fails over time.”

The results were presented at the Endocrine Society’s 93rd Annual Meeting in Boston.

Frog skin for treating cancer?

Scientists at Queen's University Belfast have discovered proteins in frog skins which could be used to treat cancer, diabetes, stroke and transplant patients by regulating the growth of blood vessels.

The award-winning research, led by Professor Chris Shaw at Queen's School of Pharmacy, has identified two proteins, or 'peptides', which can be used in a controlled and targeted way to regulate 'angiogenesis' -- the process by which blood vessels grow in the body. The discovery holds the potential to develop new treatments for more than seventy major diseases and conditions that affect more than one billion people worldwide.

The proteins are found in secretions on the skins of the Waxy Monkey Frog and the Giant Firebellied Toad. Scientists capture the frogs and gently extract the secretions, before releasing them back in to the wild. The frogs are not harmed in any way during this process.

Professor Shaw said: "The proteins that we have discovered have the ability to either stimulate or inhibit the growth of blood vessels. By 'switching off' angiogenesis and inhibiting blood vessel growth, a protein from the Waxy Monkey Frog has the potential to kill cancer tumours. Most cancer tumours can only grow to a certain size before they need blood vessels to grow into the tumour to supply it with vital oxygen and nutrients. Stopping the blood vessels from growing will make the tumour less likely to spread and may eventually kill it. This has the potential to transform cancer from a terminal illness into a chronic condition.

"On the other hand, a protein from the Giant Firebellied Toad has been found to 'switch on' angiogenesis and stimulate blood vessel growth. This has the potential to treat an array of diseases and conditions that require blood vessels to repair quickly, such as wound healing, organ transplants, diabetic ulcers, and damage caused by strokes or heart conditions."

Explaining how his research team looks to the natural world to solve problems where other methods of drug discovery have failed, Professor Shaw said: "Because of its huge potential, angiogenesis has been a prime target for drugs development research over the past forty years. But despite an investment of around $4-5 billion by scientists and drugs companies around the world, they have yet to develop a drug that can effectively target, control and regulate the growth of blood vessels.

"The aim of our work at Queen's is to unlock the potential of the natural world -- in this case the secretions found on frog and toad skins -- to alleviate human suffering. We are absolutely convinced that the natural world holds the solutions to many of our problems, we just need to pose the right questions to find them.

"It would be a great shame to have something in nature that is potentially the wonder drug to treat cancer and not aim to do everything in our power to make it work."

The Queen's researchers will receive the Commendation in the Cardiovasular Innovation Award at the Medical Futures Innovation Awards in London June 6, 2011. The Awards are one of Europe's most prestigious healthcare and business awards, rewarding innovative ideas from front line clinicians, scientists and entrepreneurs. Professor Shaw's team are the only entry from Northern Ireland to be successful at this year's awards.

Congratulating Professor Shaw and his colleagues, Professor Brian Walker and Dr Tianbao Chen, on their commendation award, Queen's Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Gregson said: "This award is not only an honour for Professor Shaw and his team, it is recognition of the world-class research taking place at Queen's School of Pharmacy, and the life-changing potential of the University's work in drug discovery."

Today is 96th birthday of Les Paul—was an American jazz andcountry guitarist, songwriter and inventor. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible". He is credited with many recording innovations. Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effectssuch as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.

His innovative talents extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day. He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s, and they sold millions of records.

Among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is prominently named by the music museum on its website as an "architect" and a "key inductee" along with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed.
