KY Authorities Have Discovered Card Skimmers in Retail, Grocery Stores
I don't classify myself as a paranoid person, but I've got to be honest with you, when I first learned of the existence of card skimmers, my paranoia amped up a bit. With progress comes convenience but also nefariousness. It seems every form of new technology developed to make our lives easier can also be manipulated to make our lives, in some cases, a nightmare. And because of identity theft, even more new technology must be created--and rather quickly, too--to counteract the behavior of bad actors.

Avoid summer heat with these tips
FORT KNOX, Ky. — I was 15 years old on a family vacation to St. Augustine, Florida. At some point on the tour of Castillo de San Marcos, I became very thirsty but saw nowhere to buy water and decided not to mention it to anyone. I was relieved when I finally stopped sweating, but didn’t know at the time that was a bad sign. As we walked out of the monument, I was again relieved when my dad suggested resting in the shade. The next thing I knew, I was opening my eyes to a crowd of people huddled around me, whom I had never met, attempting to bring me back from a heatstroke.
