![]() Insurance is a gambling game, the insurance company is betting they'll pay out less than the insured has in claims. As far as merchandise goes they simply "write off" any loss of products in whatever form (shoplifting, credit card fraud, bad checks, damaged, etc.) in the retail industry we call this "shrink." In that aspect you are correct. Yes accidental liability insurance for legit (or less than legit) accidents. There is so much wrong with that comment that I don't even know where to start.įirst of all, most retailers do not have "insurance" that covers fraud. Certainly the insurance companies don't want it to change because then nobody would buy the insurance. Yes, some people get away with buying stuff that nobody ever pays for, but the merchant is covered by insurance so they lose nothing. Why would it? It doesn't really affect anyone except the cardholder who has to get a new card with a different number. I do not see this situation changing, ever. Well, I guess you would need to call it "borrowed" because they really haven't stolen anything - just made a copy.Īnd nobody is ever prosecuted for this sort of stuff, unless you do something wild and crazy with a million credit card numbers. So it is important for things to be as easy as possible for people getting stuff with stolen credit card information. For everyone but the merchant it is meaningless and the merchant just has insurance to cover their losses due to fraud. You see, in the US the card holder, the card issuer and the card organization (VISA or MasterCard) don't care about fraud. Great for validation but it sucks for the folks trying to use stolen credit card information. I suspect the store isn't sending the code but the card issuer. So someone comes in with a re-striped card without a PIN and they are going to be able to pay just like I can. ![]() No PIN exists, so what are they going to do? Telling me to go away is not a winning strategy. ![]() One obvious fallacy is if I (from the US) come in with my PIN-less credit card and want to make a purchase. This is clearly not really the case, although you might think it is. The first time was February, the second time was yesterday. I know this works, because my CC info has been stolen twice in the last year and used to make cloned cards (the cloned cards were used at a brick-and-mortar store which is how I know the card was physically cloned). No need to emboss or even disguise the card. Use cloned card at self-checkout, gas pump, or other unattended POS system. Granted, this requires making purchases in person, so you're subject to video surveilance for anyone who REALLY wants to come after you, but since you can repeat this process, it's essentially a use one, throwaway kind of thing.Ģa: Burn numbers into some other magnetic card (even a customer loyalty card will work, so I'm told). You don't need the security code for purchases made in person, and if you're doing this in person, you can probably speculate what the zip code is for the few places that even ask for that. 99% of all retail employees will not look twice at the card. Step 2: Burn semi-realistic magnetic card with CC data. ![]() Not sure about whatever tech they use for the contactless style ones, but here's what I'm thinking: Okay, you couldn't use it for online purchases, but at a brief glance, you can get magnetic card encoders for 150+ USD.

![]() ![]() All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.Ģ. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. So I don't know if this is an a problem with the actual Mac Pro, Mavericks, graphic card or Adobe? But right now I am very frustrated as you can imaging spending all this money for a computer that has been giving us more issues than our previous computer. I used Migration Assistant to transfer from old computer to new computer. This never happened on our previous Mac Pro, but we were not running Mavericks. This all is happening several times a day. I have to redo the render once or twice and it will finally be fine. Additionally there has been several times if the render does finish, the final video will have digital glitches throughout the video. The computer will also just decide to suddenly stop and restart when editing or doing simple tasks like browsing the web. The computer will also occasionally freeze whenever doing simple editing or stacking layers. Sometimes I can just Force Quit Premiere or Media Encoder and other times I have to do a hard restart on the entire computer because the entire computer freezes. This happens in Premiere and Media Encoder. About 50% of the time when I try to render it starts off real fast then just freezes. When using Premiere Pro CC (7.2.2) I am having major issues while rendering and editing. We recently purchased a new Mac Pro desktop (Late 2013, 16GB memory, D700 Graphic Card, 2.7 GHz -12 Core, OSX 10.9.3) and we are running Adobe CC on it. On the borders of these great but ailing Empires also stand the great migratory barbarians, pushed West by growing climatic instability (lands become less fertile as the climate becomes worse and the snows encroach westward) and a threat from the East. Playing as this faction would allow you to consolidate lands before punishing the Eastern Roman Empire or ridding the world of the Huns altogether. Yet the Huns could forge south at any moment and plunder your lands. This is a Persian styled Empire that starts in a strong position ready to assault the Levant, Asia Minor, or Egypt. In addition to these, you could also decide to play as the mighty Sassanid Empire in the Far East. That much is apparent in the first two turns with each faction. You will not easily conquer the world as a Roman. Migratory barbarians also have an eye on some of your less well-defended regions for easy plunder (or even settlement). But as the Eastern most bastion of civilisation you will eventually have to contend with the great Persian Sassanid Empire and, of course, the Huns. Your estates are managed well you have a stable income, and decent armies. Playing as the Eastern Roman Empire is, however, a little easier. You face legendary threats, and after only fifty turns I was forced to resign myself to defeat during my first play through. Public Order is falling throughout the empire and sanitation (a new feature that controls the chance of plagues breaking out in provinces) is in the red everywhere. ![]() In addition, your estates are vastly mismanaged and require you to pretty much fix every province that the previous Emperors have mucked up. These barbarians all have an eye on the ailing Western Roman Empire in its hour of weakness. Playing as the Western Roman Empire will see you take on pretty much every barbarian faction on your borders. The West is given to his youngest son, Honorius while the East is given to his oldest, Arcadius. Theodosius I, just before he dies, decrees that that the Roman Empire should be split between his two sons. ![]() The good people over at Creative Assembly had obviously just watched a rerun of Gladiator. How, then, would the developers go about earning back fan trust? Apparently the same way Attila did for the Huns, with the use of the sword, the spear, and a heck of a lot of fire. Let’s be honest here if you picked up Rome II at launch you know just how much of a disaster it was. Yet Rome II failed to live up to fan expectations. Rome II was meant to be the title that would give fans everything they wanted from the first Rome while being updated with features that made Shogun II such a fan favourite. Attila: Total War drops in stores only a year and a half after the launch Total War: Rome II (which is now in a much better space as Total War: Rome II Emperor Edition). ![]() These scaffolds serve as a great platform for organ bioengineering as the preserve the organ’s threedimensional blueprint.

Keywords bioartificial organs, regeneration, stem cells, tissue scaffolds, transplantation However, many challenges remain on the way to producing an autologous, fully functional organ that can be transplanted similar to a donor organ. Important milestones have been achieved in organ bioengineering with the use of decellularized scaffolds. ![]() Summary The search for alternatives to allogeneic organ transplantation continues. ![]() Finally, this technology needs to be scaled up to human size to be of clinical relevance. Pluripotent stem cells seem to hold promise as the ideal regenerative cells to be used with this approach but the techniques to effectively and reliably manipulate their fate are still to be discovered. However, the function exhibited by bioengineered organs has been rudimentary. Important advances have occurred in organ bioengineering using decellularized scaffolds in small animal models. Recent findings Perfusion-decellularization is the most consistent method to obtain decellularized whole-organ scaffolds to serve as a platform for organ bioengineering. Recent progress in the field of organ bioengineering based on decellularized organ scaffolds and patient-derived cells holds great promise to address these issues.

This is ideal for casual users, or for focused reading circles or classrooms. In parallel, Web users want to organize and remember useful sites on the Web, and want to synchronize their favorite sites across multiple devices, or to share their thoughts about a site with friends or colleagues Web annotations enable all this by allowing users to make highlights or detailed notes about a site, to add tags for categorization and search, and to share these links and notes across multiple conforming social media services. Today, comments on the Web are disjointed and often disruptive a unified mechanism for creating, publishing, displaying, and sharing annotations and other comments in a decentralized way can aid in distributed curation, improving the quality of comments that a reader sees for Web content, and improving the reading experience. W3C sees an important role for Web Annotations as a new layer of user-generated content and commentary on top of the Web, and across digital publications of all sorts. The partners in this coalition share a vision of how annotation can benefit scholarly publishing, and of open collaboration for integrating web annotation into their platforms, publications, workflow, and communities. W3C is excited to be part of this growing effort of over 40 leading organizations in the technology and scholarly publishing communities, including W3C Members IDPF, MIT Press, and Wiley.

![]() Lava rocks are a primo choice because they get extremely hot, don’t break down easily, and have tons of jagged sides and crevices for an incredible increase in surface area. The first is a cast-iron pan filled with lava rocks 1. Let’s go over a few more additions to our home-baking arsenal: Lava rocks We first need to have the right set of tools for the job. Since most of us bakers out there do not have one of these fancy ovens, we have to make do-read on to learn how baking with steam in your home oven can be a straightforward process. These look very promising but are on the expensive side. Some other alternatives can’t inject steam at a button press, but they are sealed to trap steam and have a method for generating steam. You might be able to fit two loaves, but I could also fit two Dutch ovens in my current home oven no advantage there. ![]() Now there are home ovens that are “steam ovens,” but the ones I’ve looked at are incredibly small. Press a button, and a wave of steam sprays over the decks of newly loaded dough (however, there are always challenges, no matter what oven you use). Professional baking ovens have steam on tap. An alternative is to bake directly on stones and generate sufficient steam in your home oven by some other clever means. However, there comes a time when you might want to bake two (or more) loaves at a time, or perhaps your loaves are scaled more substantial than your Dutch oven can comfortably hold. ![]() So how can we get enough steam in the oven to keep those loaves rising? There are indeed methods abound, and each person has a different approach, but arguably the most popular choice at the moment, and the one I started with, is baking bread in a Dutch oven ( see my guide on how to bake bread in a Dutch oven if you're not familiar). If your dough dries and bakes too quickly on the exterior, it can harden off before it rises to its full potential (and you may not see a satisfying gringe, either). Steam in the oven and subsequently on the surface of your loaves helps keep that skin pliable and stretchy during baking. While many of these challenges present themselves early in the two-day process (fermentation, flour selection, mixing, shaping, and so on), there is that crucial component at the end of this ordered procession: baking with steam in your home oven.įor your bread to rise to its potential, that outer, taut skin on your loaf needs to be able to expand and stretch before hardening off. The small mark on my left forearm begs the question daily: Maurizio, was it worth it? But before we talk about my new baking badge of honor, let’s concentrate on overcoming the challenges of baking good bread at home.

Consequent to the siege and confrontation, the Jews admitted to leave Medina. It was in the course of such confrontation that one of their notables, Ka‘b ibn Ashraf, fell and the Jews retreated and took refuge in a fortress to which the Muslims laid siege at the Noble Prophet's (S) behest. However, following the Battle of Uhud, some of them collaborated with Meccan polytheists against Muslims of which the Noble Prophet (S) was apprised and confronted them. Three Jewish tribes, i.e., Banu Nadhir, Banu Quraytha, and Banu Qaynuqa‘, emigrated to Medina and settled there and made a non-violation pact with the Noble Prophet (S). But Allah's reached them from a way whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. And they thought that their strongholds would defend them from the Wrath of Allah. You did not think that they would get out. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture from their homes at the first gathering. ![]() However, those who have transcended the inanimate realm and have attained to proximity to God Almighty possess eyes through which they may see the unseen and share the secrets with all the world of existence. Glorification of God Almighty is widespread in the world of existence, but we are ignorant of the same. As a consequence, each and every being glorifies God Almighty in its own language, even if we may fail to hearken the glorification. Some scholars also hold that each and every being possesses some share of reason, comprehension, and intelligence, though we may not be aware of the same. All existent beings, including angels, mankind, plants, and inanimate things may verbally or dispositionally glorify God Almighty, since the wondrous system of the creation of each and every particle dispositionally reflect Divine Omniscience, Omnipotence, Glory, and Wisdom. The blessed Verse in question is saying that whatever exists in the heavens and on the earth glorify Him and He is All-Mighty and All-Wise. "But you comprehend not their glorification."ĭetailed arguments on the same are to be found in exegetic works. 1 Such blessings will be bestowed upon the recite owing to reflection upon its contents as the same reflects in man's life.

The blessed Chapter mainly treats of hypocrites' collaboration with Medinan Jews against the Muslims, though the Holy Qur’an says that their stratagems lead to nothing but their humiliation and defeat. ![]() The blessed Chapter opens and closes with the glorification of God Almighty by all the world of existence. The word does not denote gathering on the Day of Resurrection, but it connotes people's gathering for migration. Is mentioned in the second Verse, hence the designation of the Chapter. |
