Five Tips For Safer Online Shopping

ccording to Forrester Research, online shoppers in the United States will spend $327 billion in 2016, up 45 percent from $226 billion in 2012.

Even consumers who make their purchases in stores start with online research. Nearly 70 percent of online shoppers who shopped in-store during the 2011 season said online research influenced the brands they bought, the retailers they shopped and the gifts they selected, according to a Google/OTX Post-Holiday Survey.

As people spend more time shopping online, there is more potential for hacker attacks, compromised passwords and stolen identities. What can consumers do to protect themselves? Mozilla—the mission-based organization that aims to promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the Web—put together this checklist for keeping consumers safe while shopping online.

1.) Download a secure browser: Download a Web browser like Mozilla’s Firefox, www.mozilla.org/firefox, that supports anti-phishing and anti-malware to protect you from spyware and warn you about potentially fraudulent sites.

2.) Keep your software updated: Make sure any software you download to your desktop or your mobile phone—including apps and add-ons— stays up to date. Manufacturers regularly release security updates to protect customers from evolving threats.

3.) Secure your passwords: Using a variety of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation, create a unique password for each account you log into. The Firefox Password Manager securely stores user names and passwords.

4.) Look for the S: Never buy anything online from a site that doesn’t have SSL encryption. You’ll know because the site’s address will start with https:// instead of http://, and make sure not to provide your credit card information via e-mail.

5.) Don’t sacrifice security for mobility: Don’t just stop at your home computer. Extend your security to shopping from your mobile phone by making sure you’re always connected to a secure wireless network or your mobile provider’s 3G network before you enter any personal information or passwords.

If your kids are active on the Web, get smart about privacy settings and set parental controls: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-andunblock-websites-with-parental-controls. Just like in “the real world,” there is no better way to protect your children than giving them the knowledge and tools to make smart decisions. The FBI—http://www.fbi. gov/stats-services/publications/parent-guide/—and American Academy of Pediatrics—http://safetynet.aap.org/—both have comprehensive guides to Internet safety for parents.

New Smartphone App Improves Your Pictures

P

icture this: an app that turns your smartphone or other mobile device into a way to capture, edit and share photos without compromising the original quality of the photo.

The new app is designed to put the photo first and lets the photographer choose how to capture, share and discover images.

Try filling your frame with the subject.

• Use the photo editor. With it, you can quickly correct, crop, retouch or enhance your photos using cool custom filters. You simply tap the pencil icon in the filter screen and you can crop the photo, change the brightness, tune up the saturation and remove red eye.

• Apply a single filter to multiple photos at once. It’s easy to apply the same filter to multiple photos at once. You simply select the photos from your camera roll, then go to the filter screen and tap and hold the filter you want for your photos.

• Try to match the height of the subject, such as kneeling down to snap a picture of a toddler. You’ll get better shots when you’re at eye level rather than angling the phone up or down.

• Pay attention to the details. The back of the photo is sometimes just as important as the front. Every photo includes details on the type of camera, lighting and more—so others can see how you got the shot.

• Take candid shots, not just posed photos. Some of the best pictures happen when subjects don’t realize they’re being photographed. Just be sure to get permission to upload.

• Discover more. The new app lets you explore 8 billion photos from around the world. Many may prove an inspiration for your own picture taking. You can even follow your favorite people, places and groups.

• Pinch and zoom. You can pinch and zoom any photo so it looks crisp and clear, no matter how close you zoom in. Unless you’re aiming for a landscape shot, move in close for the best view of the subject. That way, you can capture more detail—a charming dimple or soft, pale blue petals.

• Share more. With this Flickr app, you can upload unlimited photos and instantly share with Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and e-mail.

Acquired by Yahoo! in 2005, Flickr continues to be one of the world’s most popular photo-sharing sites. (NAPSI)

In addition, it lets you explore and discover a world of gorgeous photography taken by others in a vast community.

With Streaming Players, Viewers Get To Choose

any believe today’s television viewers have it better than ever. That’s because they have access to a wider selection of in-home entertainment than ever before— and many are choosing to watch TV on demand.

Some say the change in TV-viewing preferences can be attributed to the growing popularity of affordable, easy-to-use streaming players.

In fact, according to an October 2012 survey conducted by Harris Interactive, 53 percent of Americans are streaming entertainment. For 18−35-year-olds, streaming nearly ties live TV time.

Streaming players are a simple and affordable way to access entertainment on your TV. For example, the Roku system connects to your TV and home network so you can start streaming in a matter of minutes. After your show is selected, it plays instantly on your TV. No need to huddle over a laptop, find a DVD or set the DVR. Streaming players can turn virtually any TV into a “smart TV.” Roku offers a range of streaming

players that offer more than 600 channels of entertainment including popular subscription services like Netflix and Hulu Plus, on-demand video services such as Amazon Instant Video and VUDU, as well as many free channels like

Given the abundance of entertainment available on demand every day, there are endless choices to make when it comes to what you decide to watch. Here are some tips: • The Roku search tool makes it possible to find not only movies and show titles, but also the work of specific actors and directors that fit your taste. The tool shows you where the results are available on the Roku platform—whether it’s Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Crackle, VUDU or HBO GO. • You can join a current hot show that’s in mid-season by “marathoning” past seasons or catching up on episodes.

It’s estimated as many as 30 percent of Roku Facebook fans have previously watched an entire season of a favorite TV show in one sitting.

• Think about favorite actors or past shows that you can match to currently Crackle. Beyond movies and TV shows, there available movies or shows. For example, “Lost” is a wealth of services featuring news, sports, fans may want to check out “Once Upon a spirituality, fitness, cooking and more.

Time” since it’s from the same writers, while Claire Danes fans can catch up on her career by Finding The Entertainment That’s Right For You watching “Homeland.” (NAPSI)

Investing In Equities In A Changing Tax Environment A

s the tax environment changes, so too should investment strategies.

That’s the word from experts who warn that the current capital gains tax laws are changing. Additionally, studies have shown the “tax drag” to be cyclical, meaning there are certain times when it’s bigger than others.

Right now, a new and potentially harsher cycle appears to be under way.

“While tax-managed investing is important in any environment, it’s particularly important today because investors are going to be hit hard by both rising capital gains distributions and higher tax rates moving forward,” says Duncan W. Richardson, Chief Equity Investment Officer for Eaton Vance Management.

He believes understanding the potential risks and rewards associated with these changes can offer investors a number of strategic benefits.

Historically, equities have provided a higher after-tax (and inflation-adjusted) return than any other asset class. They have been one of the best defenses against taxes and inflation.

Yet active tax management remains an important factor to consider.

The growth of tax-deferred vehicles in the 1980s led many investment managers to change how they managed portfolios. “There was no tax cost for tax-deferred investors of having a high portfolio turnover rate, so little attention was paid to keeping turnover low,” says Richardson. “For the large number of investors who have assets in taxable accounts, that can translate into a significant tax drag.”

One of the best ways to effectively manage taxes is to maintain a longterm perspective. Richardson says he prefers a holding period of “five years to forever” to let winners run and help ensure gains are taxed at the lowest possible rate. He recommends keeping “bad” or unnecessary turnover low to minimize transaction costs and short-term capital gains.

Additionally, harvesting capital losses in a disciplined fashion, following “wash sale” rules, following holding period rules to have any dividends taxed at the lower qualified dividend income rate, and using tax-advan-

taged hedging techniques may all improve after-tax returns even further.

This may seem like a lot of extra work, but according to Lipper (a mutual fund services company), the average taxable equity mutual fund investor can lose as much as a quarter or more of every dollar of their annual returns to taxes. Employing equity mutual funds managed with after-tax returns as their objective may help investors “keep the quarter,” as Richardson says, thanks to the tax-efficient techniques these funds practice.

Tax efficiency is particularly important in today’s environment, he says, because the market has more than doubled over the last three years, increasing the likelihood of more capital gains distributions from mutual funds.

“Regardless of tax cuts or extensions, massive deficits at the federal, state and local levels suggest that taxes may eventually have nowhere to go but up,” Richardson says. “That’s a risk most investors can’t afford to ignore.”

Navigating this changing tax environment can be challenging, making it more important than ever for investors to seek professional guidance. Eaton Vance has a decades-long history of offering mutual funds and wealth management solutions designed to help maximize investors’ after-tax returns.

“We sharpened our focus on tax management and significantly expanded our tax-efficient equity fund lineup in the late 1990s and early 2000s to fill what we saw as a big void in the industry, and most importantly, to help our clients maximize their after-tax returns,” Richardson says.

Today, Eaton Vance offers a strong lineup of tax-managed equity mutual funds that cover multiple asset classes and market capitalizations, along with a broad range of tax-exempt municipal and tax-advantaged bond strategies. To learn more, visit www.eatonvance.com. (NAPSI)

Before “Newphoria” Strikes, Experts Advise to Protect your new Device

W ria.”

hen it comes to high-tech holiday gifts, experts remind those who received a new laptop, smartphone or tablet as a gift this holiday to avoid being swept away by the feeling of “newpho-

That’s the term the security-conscious professionals at Norton by Symantec use to describe the state of joy people experience after receiving a new gadget. They urge consumers to remember that just because a device is new doesn’t necessarily mean it’s secure.

“When consumers rush to adopt the latest high-tech gadget, security is often an afterthought. It’s important to secure your device to protect your investment as well as your personal data,” says Marian Merritt, Internet safety advocate with Norton by Symantec.

To help, Merritt offers these tips: • Make sure your new mobile device is PIN-protected, insured and that you have downloaded a security app such as Norton 360 Multi-Device, which can protect all your devices including laptops, PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets.

• Always use reputable websites with secure pages when shopping online. You can tell whether a Web page is secure from the padlock icon located in the browser address bar on pages where you are entering financial information like your credit card. Make sure the website address includes “https” and that the browser address bar is highlighted in green.

• Keep your security software up-to-date. Cybercriminals are more sophisticated than ever before and they’ll jump on any social trend to spread

malware and steal your personal details.

• Be smart—use a unique, complex password for each online account you have and update your passwords regularly. Avoid using the “Remember My Password” option on websites in case your device is lost or stolen.

An Environmental Education

F

or most teenagers today, the environment is too important to be ignored—yet, according to a recent study conducted by Harris Interactive, nearly 75 percent of 14- to 18-year-olds believe kids their age are not taking enough action to increase their knowledge of and help solve environmental issues we face.

As a result, students are actively seeking out environmental information and resources on their own. While 56 percent of students reported their classrooms as a source of environmental information, the majority (67 percent) actually turn to commercials and television as an environmental resource, while less than half (47 percent) use newspapers and magazines.

As environmental issues continue to play a role in daily life, it’s important to ensure that students have their questions and comments addressed in a classroom setting. An education that incorporates environmental topics does not have to be limited to just a science class. The environment now more than ever crosses over various subjects and topics, from geography to math to economics.

Increasing students’ knowledge and access to information on ever-changing issues will enable them to translate what they learn in a classroom to future aspirations and career choices.

In addition to seeking out environmental information and programs, the survey found, a strong majority are willing to recycle (85 percent) and turn off unnecessary lights (85 percent) to help with environmental conservation, while nearly three in five would also be willing to spend less time in the shower (57 percent) and volunteer to help clean up public areas, such as a beach or a park (56 percent).

When asked if they would be willing to lower their usage of a computer, however, teens were slightly less enthusiastic--only 28 percent volunteered to power off.

One company that understands the importance of environmental education, Canon U.S.A., has always made it a top priority. That’s why it sponsors the North American Envirothon, a hands-on high school competition that encourages students to solve environmental situations in teams. Now in its 25th year, this annual competition brings together more than 500,000 high school students from across the United States and Canada to compete for the best solutions to real-life environmental challenges.

The good news is that there are several simple ways you can start to manage the daily stress in your life. In addition to getting enough sleep and monitoring your food, alcohol and caffeine intake during the partyheavy holiday season, research has shown that making time for exercise and fun can go a long way in relieving stress during the holidays and beyond.
