Based on data from its "telephony honeypot," anti-fraud company Pindrop Security has determined that the number of scam calls aimed at enterprises has increased by 30 percent since 2013.
According to the State of Phone Fraud 2014-2015 report published by Pindrop on Wednesday, financial institutions are the most attractive target for fraudsters.
The company says card issuers are the most impacted, with a fraud call rate of 1 in every 900 calls. Banks and brokerages report a fraud call rate of 1 in every 2,650, respectively 1 in every 3,000 calls.
"The higher rate of phone fraud for card issuers can be attributed to the fact that credit cards are one of the most common ways for the public to complete transactions, and thus card numbers are at greater risk for theft," Pindrop noted in its report. "Compared to credit card numbers, banking or brokerage account numbers are less widely distributed. The less an account number is distributed across channels, the less likely it is to be at risk for fraud."
Financial institutions risk exposing an average of $7-15 million to phone fraud every year, the report shows.
Retailers, including online retailers, are also targeted by scammers. The average fraud call rate in the case of retailers is 1 in 1,000 calls, but the rate increases for products that are easy to resell, Pindrop Security noted.
Consumers are an attractive target for phone scammers. In the United States, consumers receive 86.2 million scam calls every month, with 2.5 percent getting at least one robocall each week. Pindrop says 36 million of the scam calls made to US consumers can be traced to one of the 25 most common schemes, such as technical support and IRS scams.

All these free beginner classical guitar lessons have the same format. Have a look at how this page is layed out and become familiar with where things are. The heading tells you what the aim of the lesson is and the coloured box contains tips and guidelines. Below the coloured box are your guitar pieces that support the aim of the lesson and supporting resources which include accompaniment in mp3 format and free sheet music in pdf format.These lessons, designed for the beginner classical guitar player, build step by step with each lesson building on the previous lesson in the following ways: (i) knowledge of guitar technique; (ii) familiarity with music reading and (iii) strengthening - and in a safe way - your hands. Try and play through all the exercises provided at the bottom of the page. Remember that the house with the solid foundation is stronger in the long run.
Exercise 1 to 14 are included in previous lessons . If you have not already covered these lessons, then I suggest that you do so now as these lessons build incrementally on each other.
This piece has two voices. Review Lesson 4 for guidelines on how to approach music written in two voices.
Use the i- finger, m- finger and p- finger as indicated in the score. Notice that the fingering is provided for only the first two bars. The fingering approach provided in these bars are to be used for the rest of the piece of music. See finger names for an overview of the names of the fingers in classical guitar.
Note that the 'a' finger is introduced into your playing in Bar 7 of this piece. This is the first time that you are using this finger and it is bound to feel somewhat uncomfortable, but continue using it and it will soon feel comfortable.
The metronome speed is 110 for this piece. If this piece feels difficult, play through Exercise 16 and Exercise 17 (see below) first as they are slightly easier and will build you up to this piece.
I'm getting a lot of messages from people coming here because they want to learn to play guitar as part of worship. If this is you, you might want to join Aaron Anastasi's programme. Aaron is a musician and a worship leader and put together a step by step programme for aspiring Christian musicians. If you are interested, you can use the exercises and advice in learn-classical-guitar-today to develop your finger strength and dexterity and Aaron's lessons to work on strumming and worship music. GO HERE TO LEARN WORSHIP GUITAR
Two mp3s are provided for this lesson. The one contains both parts of the music and the other contains the accompaniment. Listen to both parts of the music played together so that you can get a feel of the song. Then practice by setting your metronome at a very slow pace. Slowly push up the speed until you can play it confidently at a metronome speed of 100. When you can play it confidently at this speed, you can play along to the accompaniment provided.
|Listen to the song by playing this midi
|Play along with the accompaniment
Okay, now you know the drill. The exercises provided below aim at developing the i-m-i-m movement of your right hand and your familiarity with the E string. Play through them by listening to the song and then playing along with the accompaniment. The sheet music can be downloaded by clicking on the PDF.
Let's move on to Lesson Six where you'll start using the eight note (or quaver) more frequently. Just two more lessons and you'll be ready to play your first solo piece! And, equally importantly, just two more lessons and you'll be ready to begin preparing for the Grade 1 classical guitar examinations set by Trinity or the Royal School of Music (ABRSM).
Not bad for someone who started as a raw beginner is it? Not everyone needs to do examinations. In fact, there are many, many brilliant musicians who have never done examinations and equally so, many musicians who can't read music. Having said this, it is good to know when you've reached a level and when you've moved beyond it. There are pages in this website dedicated to preparation for these exams. Once you've reached this point, I will recommend you to these pages for further development. Well done on the progress thus far. Keep going through each of the lessons systematically. They've been designed to build up your technical capacity, your knowledge of the guitar and your understanding of the musicality that you will need. Remember, a solid house needs a good foundation. That's great progress and in a short period of time!

Lesson 3 - The E and B String Together: Consolidate your learning of the E and B string by playing through the exercises which provide the opportunity to practice these notes to music arranged with accompaniment in MP3 format. Progress from whole notes, half notes and quarter notes which were used in previous lessons to dotted notes in this lesson.
Lesson 4 - The G String : Learn and practice the notes on the G string (3rd string) by following the guidelines and playing the pieces along with MP3 accompaniment. Enjoy your first introduction to playing music in two voices while allowing the i-m right hand finger combination to become second nature.

Consolidate further working with dotted notes and working with music in two voices. Practice the p-i-m and i-m-p right hand combinations while using the quaver note for the first time.
Lesson 6 - The A String: Become familiar with the A string while you consolidate further your work with two voices and begin, for the first time, working in a new time signature. Practice the p-i-m and i-m-p right hand combinations while using the quaver note for the first time.

FrictionBy: Sawyer Bennett
Five Years Ago
I can't control the way my legs are shaking, so I sit back in my chair and cross one leg over the other, hoping the weight and position will still the trembling.
You've got the job, Leary. Nothing to be nervous about.
Glancing out the lobby window to my left, the sun is breaking high over the downtown Raleigh cityscape with clear blue skies and fluffy white clouds. It's a bright, cheerful scene and yet I'm filled with oily dread.
Today is my first day of work with the law firm of Knight & Payne, and I don't know why in the hell I thought that I'd be cut out for a job like this. I'm waiting in their massive lobby on the twenty-seventh floor of the Watts Building. The firm is so big it actually has two lobbies: one on this floor for the civil litigation department, and another on the twenty-eighth floor for the criminal department. Exposed black-iron beams above and rough-hewn wooden floors below lend the decor an intimidating air. The raw nature of the industrial design is tempered with sleek leather furnishings in shades of cream and taupe, which screams money and power—two words that would never be used to describe Leary Michaels.
As one of only two incoming associate attorneys for the year, I'm still convinced they made a mistake in offering me so highly prized and coveted a position. I didn't think my interview six months ago was anything special, and while I graduated in the top ten percent of my law class at Stanford, firms like Knight & Payne usually only accept the top one percent.
Still . . . I wanted this position badly. It was something I'd set my sights on early.
Even though I went to law school on the West Coast, I always knew I'd come home to North Carolina to practice. More important, I wanted to be the type of lawyer who made a difference in an ordinary person's life, and in my mind, the best place to accomplish that was with Knight & Payne.
The law firm is massive, employing sixty-three lawyers, twenty-nine paralegals, thirty-six secretaries, and two receptionists, one for each floor. It's an institution in North Carolina, sought after by every top-ranked law school graduate, because the pay is legendary, the benefits are beyond belief, and the work environment is cutting-edge. But that's not why I wanted to come here.
I wanted to be a Knight & Payne attorney because the firm's entire practice was built upon helping individuals. You won't find any corporate lawyers here representing banks insistent on foreclosing on poor, unfortunate fools. You won't find a single insurance company represented in these halls. Big business is the devil within this institution.
No, the founding attorney, Midge Payne, has it clearly written on her website for all to see that she represents only the downtrodden.
Come, any poor soul needing help.
That's her freakin' tagline.
It's like an open-door policy for every miscreant and shiftless bum to seek help from the best attorneys in the state. We're talking the dregs of society . . . drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes, homeless people, deviants, assholes, and various other scum. Some of these people are so vile most people would shun them. Many attorneys would refuse to help them, forgetting the fundamental concept that everyone deserves a fair shot at justice.
Don't get me wrong—the firm represents ordinary citizens who need legal help, too, but the point is Midge Payne does not discriminate, other than she'll only represent people, not corporations. She isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, and that's what I wanted in my law practice. I want to help those folks who need help lifting themselves out of the filth and grime of unfairness.
"Miss Michaels," I hear from my left.
Turning my head, I see Danny Payne walking toward me. He conducted my interview all those months ago, and he still looks as sleazy as ever. Oh, he's dressed impeccably enough, in a custom-tailored suit that perfectly fits his five-foot, six-inch frame. I tower over him by four inches, thanks to having a tad more height and sensible three-inch pumps.

The Story of vernon
It was with the idea of creating something new and innovative which started Vernon Sport in 1988 by the founder Morten Vernon. The company is based on a unique creation and entrepreneurial spirit where Vernon has extensive experience in spotting new currents and tendencies. In 1988 Vernon introduced snowboarding as the first player on the Scandinavian market followed up by the In-Line rollerblades in 1992 and the skate scooter brand Micro in 99`.
It was within the occupation of Waseem Ahmad that Vernon went from being 100% focused on sport to move into the footwear and fashion scene. This entailed that Vernon through 2000's had great success with Le Coq Sportif, which resulted in more than 200.000 pairs of shoes were sold into Scandinavia. The success continued with similar powerful brands like Russell Athletic, Onitsuka Tiger, Clarks originals and Birkenstock. Later on, came brands such as Ellesse, Aigle, Moon Boot, Hi-tec, Blundstone etc.
At Vernon, we love to work with heritage brands, which is attributed to our many years in the industry, which has led to a great knowledge of this type of brands. We do what we do best, we build brands.We never forget the story behind the brand.

The next week after class, they went back to Perk Up for coffee, Zoey asked her to look at her portfolio in her dorm room. Greta said she'd live to and off they went. Greta studied Zoey's work like she was committing it to memory, touching the drawings, paintings. Greta stopped when she got to a painting of her own naked body. In class, they use charcoal. Zoey's talent is incredible! She painted Greta at her most vulnerable, nude with her legs open, climaxing! Zoey explained, this is the way I wanted to see you the first time I laid eyes on you Greta. Putting the painting down, Greta took her hand, gently touching Zoey's face, kissed her mouth. Within seconds they were naked, their bodies intertwined like mating garter snakes. Hands, mouths roaming! Sucking breasts, licking pussies, fingering assholes! Their passion grew, they scissored their slits mutually masturbating, climaxing together! They made love whenever time allowed.
The next semester a man replaced Greta as class model, his name is Ryan. Greta is a photographer. She's a model as a side job. As soon as she found out Zoey was one of three students selected to go to Paris for a year, she ran to her dorm to tell her! Greta had submitted her name w out her knowledge!!! When Greta told her about Paris, she fainted! She was so happy! Zoey was even more happy when Greta got a photography job there! She'll be taking pictures of the latest wedding gowns on the runway! Greta grew up in Paris. She and the students will be staying at her family estate, just outside the city. Greta is very laid back, but the school has rules, she cannot have anarchy! They're to sleep at the chateau during the week, weekends they must keep in touch w her so she knows they're alive. If they get into trouble they'll go home. Simple as that!
Whitney, Justin and Zoey were having the time of their lives! The master classes, the estate they're staying in, wonderful Paris! Justin and Whitney hooked up a month after they arrived. He's never been with a black girl before. Whit is so beautiful! Cocoa colored skin, the most gorgeous brown eyes, shy smile. She's a wonderful sculptor! Justin surprised her w a moonlit picnic, wine, cheeses, fruit. He asked her to dance, kissed her under the stars. It was a warm night, they went skinny dipping in the pool. They were so noisy, sleeping w the balcony doors open, they woke up Greta and Zoey. Exhausted from making love themselves, closed the doors and went back to bed. Justin tried to shush Whit, but she was a wildcat! Riding his rock solid 8 inch dick, Whitney clawed her lovers back, marking him as hers! Justin couldn't hold back anymore! He came! Shooting his hot jism deep inside her pussy!!! His balls rubbing her clit, sending her over the edge, pussy tightening on Justin's cock! Justin kissed Whitney softly, asked if she'd like to share his bed for the remainder of their stay? Whitney hugged her new lover, giving him a passionate kiss, said yes. The next evening after dinner Greta gave Whitney and justin a gift, condoms and her blessing!

I continuously find myself being inspired with new issues that become important to me. The issue of addictions and recovery, especially for high school and college students, is one that has inspired me to create this blog and therefore is my mission, but only one among many.
Anxiety, Depression, and Suicide are also topics that are near and dear to my heart. Stress and anxiety can begin in elementary school, before children even reach their teen years. Sometimes they manifest into eating disorders, self-harm, and a host of other avoidable issues. Tragically, sometimes these children take their own lives.
It is imperative that we seek to understand the stressors of society on our children and help them develop new skills for coping. #MentalHealth Click To Tweet
I am equally committed to all who feel out-of-place or out of step with the world, regardless of ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.
Addictions – Students – Recovery
Considering the severity of addictions and their widespread path of destruction, I seek to become more knowledgeable in new and developing treatments, especially those that are targeted towards our adolescents.
As I gather this information, I intend to publish it on this site for anyone to access. It is also a good method by which I can have pertinent data organized in one place for easy access for me – my blog.
Schools and the public education process are one of the topics that interests me most.
I believe we, as a nation, made a huge mistake when we built mega schools and tore down our smaller community schools.
By doing so, we destroyed the foundation of a support network that was paramount to healthy emotional and psychological development.
Students in small schools were from the same geographical neighborhood and were accustomed to similar lifestyles, which gave them something to bond over. Granted, some neighborhoods were better than others, and forever that shall remain the same.
Teachers that do not know your name, a principal that doesn't recognize you as a familiar face, and peers that couldn't care less about you because they prefer to travel in cliques or gangs, do nothing to build self-confidence, self-worth and a sense of belonging that is necessary to become a successful contributing member of society.
We hear many parents complain about this same situation, but it does not appear that things will change any time soon. The time of the small school where everyone knew nearly everyone else and the teachers knew most of the students, is gone forever, or is it?
The small school re-emerges
As we have witnessed the devastation of addictions among our young people, an interesting phenomenon has risen from the ashes – Recovery High Schools.
While this site will focus on many psychological issues, trends and developments, it will also focus frequently on Recovery High Schools and College Recovery Communities.
Prevention is the best medicine. When that fails or is absent, then extreme intervention in the early stages provides the best hope for young people to return to normal lives.
My mission and fervent desire is to see these schools and communities in every county in the country!
Thank you for reading,
Sandra Jane

A thing experienced by most of us is unpleasant ball pen ink stain on our clothes. It happens because we by mistake place an uncapped pen in our pocket or wipe our garment over a page of ink that was not dry yet or any other reasons. Although these stains are usually minute but can definitely ruin the appearance of an entire clothing piece. It becomes all the more distressing if the dresses are a limited edition ones or very expensive. So removing the stain is a must and the only option to safeguard our dresses. These stains are a bit hard to remove in normal laundry wash, and a tedious job too.
We thought of covering this topic for our readers who tend to just bury their wishes to wear these limited edition, highly expensive or otherwise fashion clothings as they feel it is impossible to wipe-off these ink stains. The first thing to do after you see a ink stain on your clothing is relax and hurry-up in removing the stains. There are some household remedies that will help you get rid of these undesired ink stains. Make sure you do not toss the garment to your laundry directly without trying to remove the stain first as it may make the ink drier and harder to remove.
Today, we will share with you some of the tricks that you can try to remove ink stains from your clothes with some of the household items that are usually available in everyone's house. Let's have a look at them
Also Read,
1. Hairspray
Most of the hairspray's have alcohol in it. So, find one with high alcohol content and answer all your ink stain problems firmly. All you need to do is target the stained area with the hairspray and wipe the stained area with another clean towel or other cotton cloth until the stain has gone. Wash the cloth normally and see the difference.
2. Salt
If you are lucky enough to spot the stain before it dries, try to remove it then and there with the help of a pinch of salt. Cover the stained area completely with salt, dab it gently with a clean cloth and then brush off the salt. Repeat it until the stain is completely vanished.

3. Vinegar and Cornstarch
The process to use vinegar and can is pretty simple. Wet the stained area completely with vinegar. Then put a little bit of cornstarch over it. This will create a paste over the stain, leave it to dry and then wash the cloth. You will notice that the ink stain has slowly started to disappear.
4. Milk
Soak the stained area in milk overnight and next day, launder the clothes with regular laundry soap. The stain will almost disappear from it's place. Try another method of this doesn't work well in your case.

One of the ways I've been doing that is through word puzzles.
You might be thinking, well it's bound to be easier second time around. And sometimes, you would be right but sometimes it can take longer. Why is that?
It can have a lot to do with the "form" or mood we are in; time of day; level of stress or tiredness. My experience of doing and repeating the crosswords suggested that I should practise more to get my brain fitter. Then I spotted something that my brain just might appreciate.
Online brain games
So what happens?
Each day I get an email prompt to remind me to do that day's selection of brain games. Some aren't easy and I've gone back over several to improve my score. Certainly a few cross words have been spoken.
One of the things I like is that alongside each game is a series of suggestions from other users on how to improve your score and one of the tips I liked is that accuracy is more important than speed.
For each of the elements (speed, memory, attention, flexibility, problem solving and so on) there is a running score and by clicking through your profile you can check your precentile placing against others of the same age group. Mixed reports for me there but I'm there to do better.
There is also an overall Lumosity Performance Index (LPI) and over the past week despite a couple of steps backwards, at least I can see that I am making progress.
Lumosity has one thing in common with the crossword copy.
It repeats the test expecting ongoing training to improve performance.
Now where is that crossword?

God definitely uses my devotions

Great devotion...I can relate to the angry wife. There have been times we've been "testy", shall we say, on the way to church and then turned on the charm once we got inside...very fake and definitely killing the Holy Spirit bit by bit. I've often longed for other women to simply let down the facade, the "pretty pictures" we all hold up for others to see so we can see each other as God sees us; IMPERFECT! Our friendships would be better and the only one on a pedastal would be the One Who should be. I think it would go a long way to removing the deceit of covetousness in the body of Christ. He never meant for us to look at each other with a mental measuring stick but to the ultimate rod of His discipline and love...
Thanks for sharing!

[by Ven Segyu Choepel Rinpoche]
I was in great deal of pain growing up as a teenage in Brazil. Although I had a very good life in the worldly sense, I was very frustrated and didn't understand why. I fact, I was smoking pain and anger and making everyone around me miserable too. Wanting to help, some friends invited me to see a teacher known for her healing abilities. I was very skeptical that any spiritual teacher would be able to help me. I believe that she perceived my skepticism immediately upon our meeting because she was very fierce and strong with me. She literally threw a coin at my face and when it hit the floor she said, " See this coin ? It has two sides. One side is your spiritual life and you must take care of it. The other is your worldly life and with that only suffering will remain in you." After those few words, she proceeded to kick me out of her house. I was shocked by words and left with an anger that would stay with me for months.
One year later, still frustrated and distressed, my life had become unbearable. There was a terrible pain in my heart and I felt practically suicidal. One day,as I was driving to work in terrible despair, suddenly the image of this woman throwing the coin at me came into my mind. So I decided to try to find her. I started driving wildly around Rio de Janeiro, a big city that is difficult to get around, looking for her home. My friends had taken me there the first time so I didn't know exactly where she lived, but my motivation and will were so strong that I would not give up. After hours and hours of driving up and down the city streets, I became so desperate that I leaned my head on the steering wheel and broke into tears. Suddenly I felt someone tapping on my shoulder. A woman, a stranger, started telling me that I ought to talk to someone and suggested I go to this address she gave me. I didn't think much of it, but because I was so desperate I decided to go. When I made the final turn and looked up, I was astonished to see the woman I had met one year before standing in front of her modest home. A seventy – eight – year – old woman, she was very sick and very weak, but she had one incredible smile and a powerful will. She came over to me and said, " Oh, son, it took so long for you to flip the coin over. I am so happy you came. " She was so warm and so nurturing that I spent the day crying in her arms. She didn't say much, just a few words, but they would prove to be the words of my first spiritual teacher. " It's all right, son, now you are on the path. "
I studied healing with this teacher until her death many years later. She created all the conditions for me to embrace my spiritual path,until I found my ultimate path in Tibetan Buddhism. Today, inspired by my goal to spread the Bodhidharma, I shoulder many responsibilities as a teacher and director of two monasteries and many Dharma centres. But I know I am who I am today because of the kindness of this first great teacher who tossed a coin in my face and threw me out of her house. That's what I cultivate and remember in the midst of my greatest difficulties — how in one moment of great compassion she so skillfully and invisibly opened my heart.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Colton Haaker has delivered a winning performance at round three of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Madrid, Spain to move to the top of the series standings. Adding to the memorable night for the team, Alfredo Gomez returned to competitive action following his injury last time out in Germany to claim third overall.
With round three of the SuperEnduro series in Spain marking the halfway point in this year's championship battle, two-time world champion Haaker arrived in Madrid knowing that a winning result was necessary to lift his title hopes. Feeling comfortable with the course from the off, the Husqvarna rider set some impressive lap times in training before transferring his impressive pace into the fastest time for the qualifying SuperPole.
Executing a near-perfect start in race one, Haaker immediately took control of the lead. Breaking away from the rest of the field, he secured his first victory of the night. With the start order reversed for race two, the American tried to ride cautiously on lap one and unfortunately became entangled in a multi-bike collision. Remounting near last, he battled his way up to second. However, becoming stuck on the final rocky corner resulted in a three-way fight to the finish line. Crashing heavily with close rival Taddy Blazusiak, Haaker was lucky to walk away unscathed in third.
With the overall win up for grabs, Haaker refocused for race three and delivered arguably his best performance of the night. Riding to a commanding 26-second margin of victory, he secured the top step of the podium and took control of the championship lead.
For teammate Alfredo Gomez, his home race in Madrid was one to savour. Deciding to return to racing following an elbow injury last time out in Germany, the Husqvarna TE 300i mounted rider hoped for a top-five result. Feeling better than expected, the Spaniard raced his way into podium contention as the evening progressed.
Ninth in race one, he jumped to fifth in race two. A much-improved start in race three saw him avoid trouble and after holding second place from mid-distance he did enough to secure third overall.
The 2019 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship continues with round four in Budapest, Hungary on February 9.
Colton Haaker: "It's feels great to come away tonight with the overall win and also become the new point's leader in the championship. I really wanted to push for the victory tonight and race my way back into title contention and I definitely feel like I did that out there, despite what was a very eventful night on the track. From practice I felt good and I felt sharp. I was laying down fast times and not going above myself to do it. SuperPole was a near perfect lap and that rolled across into race one. I put myself in a great position off the start and got into an early lead and took the win. In race two I started cautiously knowing there would be carnage. Unfortunately, I got tangled up in bikes on lap one and had to come from last. I made it to second but bobbled in the final rock corner and that turned into a three-way battle to the finish line. Taddy Blazusiak and myself came together and we both hit the ground hard. Thankfully I was ok for the final race and was able to come out and win that for the overall and with it take the championship lead. We've Budapest in two weeks' time and I'm looking forward to going there with the leader's red plate."
Cody Webb: "It was a tough night for me tonight, but I'm happy to take second overall. The first race went well, I struggled to get into a good rhythm but I was pleased with third and knew what I had to do to improve for race two. I got away well in the second race and was able to control the pace from the front and take a clean win. I was probably riding my best of the whole evening in race three. Colton was in front but I was confident I could match his speed and fight for the win. Unfortunately, after a reasonably hard landing, I damaged the bike. I tried my best to fix it in time but it wasn't quite enough. It's upsetting but this is SuperEnduro and anything can happen. I'm looking forward to the next race and will try to win back the overall lead."
Alfredo Gomez: "I can't honestly believe that I've managed to finish third overall tonight. Two days ago I wasn't sure if I would ride because I'm still recovering from an elbow injury that I sustained last time out in Germany. I did some training laps and decided I should try to race. I was aiming for top five at best. But this is my home race and I guess that just makes you want to deliver the best result you can. I rode safe in race one for ninth and then did better in race two for fifth. I got into a good position in race three and with other riders having problems, suddenly I was in second. After that I tried to remain calm and focused and control the position to the finish. Third overall is an amazing result and I have to thank everyone who's helped me during these last few weeks to get to this position – behind the scenes it's been a real team effort."
