Think about the world. War, violence, natural disasters, man-made disasters, corruption. Things are bad, and it feels like they are getting worse, right? The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer; and the number of poor just keeps increasing; and we will soon run out of resources unless we do something drastic. At least that’s the picture that most Westerners see in the media and carry around in their heads. I call it the overdramatic worldview. It’s stressful and misleading. In fact, the vast majority of the world’s population lives somewhere in the middle of the income scale. Perhaps they are not what we think of as middle class, but they are not living in extreme poverty. Their girls go to school, their children get vaccinated, they live in two-child families, and they want to go abroad on holiday, not as refugees. Step-by-step, year-by-year, the world is improving. Not on every single measure every single year, but as a rule. Though the world faces huge challenges, we have made tremendous progress. This is the fact-based worldview.

Could I see that God wanted to transform my life from a somewhat ugly, useless branch to an arrow, a tool usable in His hands, for the furtherance of His purposes?....To be thus transformed, was I willing - am I till willing - for the whittling, sandpapering, stripping, processes necessary in my Christian life? The ruthless pulling off of leaves and flowers might include doing without a television set or washing machine, remaining single in order to see a job done, re-evaluating the worthiness of the ambition to be a "good" doctor (according to my terms an values). The snapping of thorns might include drastic dealing with hidden jealousies and unknown prides, giving up prized rights in leadership and administration. The final stripping of the bark might include lessons to be learned regarding death to self - self-defence,self-pity, self-justification, self-vinidication, self-sufficiency, all the mechanisms of preventing the hurt of too deep involvment. Am I prepared for the pain, which may at times seem like sacrifice, in order to be made a tool in His service?

All civilizations are the institutionalized appropriation by a small ruling elite of most of what is produced by the submerged classes. Their political/legal structures frequently claim to serve their subjects, but of course, then as now they exist to protect the privileged position of a few. Punishments enacted by early states, though often cruel by modern standards, do not reflect the strength of law enforcement. They are better understood as testimony to the weakness of coercive authority, it's need for drastic measures.

Humans have undoubtedly evolved mechanisms that assess their own mate value relative to others in their social environment. Ancestral environments were populated with relatively small groups of people containing around 50 to 150 individuals. Assessments of relative mate value were probably fairly accurate. One function of accurate assessments would have been to focus attraction tactics on potential mates within their own mate value range. In our current environment, however, the population is substantially larger, and the images to which individuals are exposed through television and the internet show an unprecedented comparison standard. Fashion models and actresses, for example, are often highly physically attractive. Extremely attractive women are a tiny fraction of the population, yet images of these women are presented at a misleadingly high frequency. This might have the effect of artificially lowering women’s judgments of their value as a potential mate relative to competitors in the local pool of potential mates. This, in turn, might escalate intrasexual competition between women or cause them to take drastic measures to try to increase their attractiveness—a possible cause of body image problems, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, or depression (Faer et al., 2005).

Obama’s election had issued a warning call to evangelical leaders. Leaving nothing to chance, they made the most of the moment, working arduously to stoke further fear and resentment. By the end of Obama’s eight years in office, even as the president’s overall approval ratings had been among the highest in recent presidential history, white evangelicals remained his most stalwart critics. Seventy-four percent viewed him unfavorably, compared to 44 percent of Americans generally. Perhaps more importantly, conservative evangelicals had reinvigorated their posture of embattlement.

They were forced, acting wholly in your interest to replace certain parts of your organism with parts obtained from other persons, in strict accordance with Federal Law (Rev. Stat. Comm. 1-989/0-001/89/1). The notice you are now reading was thoughtfully prepared in order to help you make the best possible adjustment to these new if somewhat unexpected circumstances in your life, which, we hasten to remind you, we have saved. Although it was found necessary to remove your arms, legs, spine, skill, lungs, stomach, kidneys, liver, other (circle one or more), rest assured that these mortal remains were disposed of in a manner fully in keeping with the dictates of your religion; they were, with the proper ritual, interred, embalmed, mummified, buried at sea, cremated with the ashes scattered in the wind—preserved in an urn—thrown in the garbage (circle one). The new form in which you will henceforth lead a happy and healthy existence may possibly occasion you some surprise, but we promise that in time you will become, as indeed all our dear patients do, quite accustomed to it We have supplemented your organism with the very best, the best, perfectly functional, adequate, the only available (circle one) organs at our disposal, and they are fully guaranteed to last a year, six months, three months, three weeks, six days (circle one).

As we go forward in life, we come more and more to realize the wisdom of being obedient, not because we are afraid of the law, but because we recognize the importance, wisdom, and necessity of law in civilized life. Freedom within the law is indispensable if your life is to be rich and radiant. Liberty is a prized possession, which should be jealously guarded, but it may be jeopardized by disobedience. We should not assume that liberty and license are synonymous.
Sometimes we find people of all ages who resent regulations, restraints, or prohibitions of any kind. They seem to assume that rebellious disregard for rules or laws indicates emancipation and independence. In a foolish attempt to demonstrate their freedom they lose it, forgetting that real liberty can only be enjoyed by obedience to law.
Consider for a moment our traffic laws, with their daily toll of suffering, loss, and death. It must be evident to all that these laws are enacted and enforced for the good and protection of people and property. Is it not, therefore, foolhardy to endanger oneself and others simply to show one's independence or importance. Of course, we may disregard the traffic laws, drive on the wrong side of the street, exceed speed limits, go through red lights, just for the satisfaction of showing off and doing as we please, but if we continue to act in such an irresponsible manner, we must eventually pay a price all out of proportion to any momentary satisfaction. . . .
Speaking of the duty of parents to children, [John] Locke said, "Liberty and indulgence can do no good to children; their want of judgment makes them stand in need of restraint." . . .
Any person is stupid who thinks he can defy the law with impunity. They who obey the law find it to be a safeguard and protection, a guarantee against privilege and favoritism; it applies to all, regardless of rank, station, or status. When properly administered, its rewards and punishments are inflexible. They are at once a warning, a promise, and a safeguard.
If they whose duty it is to enforce the law were whimsical or capricious, or if the laws were not administered and enforced with undeviating justice and equity, there would be confusion, defiance, and rebellion. With the average, normal person, force will not become necessary, but sometimes, for the safety of society, drastic measures must be employed.

Everett thought that measurement, as presented in von Neumann’s textbook, was “a ‘magic’ process in which something quite drastic [occurs] (collapse of the wave function), while in all other times systems [are] assumed to obey perfectly natural continuous laws.” Measurement shouldn’t be fundamentally different from other physical processes. And even worse, according to Everett, von Neumann’s approach doesn’t even tell you what measurements are. If a measurement only happens when someone looks at a system, who, in particular, has to look? Everett argued that this line of reasoning leads inevitably to solipsism—the idea that you are the only being in the universe, and everyone else is somehow illusory or secondary, existing in states of indeterminate reality until you, the High Arbiter of Wave Function Collapse, deign to observe them. In his thesis, Everett admitted that this is an internally consistent view, but that “one must feel uneasy when, for example, writing textbooks on quantum mechanics, describing [wave function collapse], for the consumption of other persons to whom it does not apply.

Russia’s biggest transport helicopters flew around the clock dropping a special polymer resin to seal radioactive dust to the ground. This prevented the dust from being kicked up by vehicles and inhaled, giving troops time to dig up the topsoil for extraction and burial. Construction workers laid new roads throughout the zone, allowing vehicles to move around without spreading radioactive particles.218 At certain distance limits, decontamination points, manned by police, intersected these roads. They came armed with dosimeters and a special cleaning spray to hose down any passing trucks, cars or armoured vehicles. Among the more drastic clean-up measures was bulldozing and burying the most contaminated villages, some of which had to be reburied two or three times.219 The thousands of buildings that were spared this fate - including the entire city of Pripyat - were painstakingly sprayed clean with chemicals, while new asphalt was laid on the streets. At Chernobyl itself, all the topsoil and roads were replaced. In total, 300,000m³ of earth was dug up and buried in pits, which were then covered over with concrete. The work took months. To make matters worse, each time it rained within 100km of the plant, new spots of heavy contamination appeared, brought down from the radioactive clouds above.

The IDF had achieved its objectives, inflicting heavy damage on Egyptian infrastructure and personnel. Israel’s leadership hoped that the harsh reprisal would convince Egyptian president Gamal Abdul Nasser to rein in the fedayeen. Instead, Nasser was humiliated. Viewing the raid as a disaster, Nasser decided to take drastic measures.

Perri Sansi X-rays actually examine your teeth, soft tissues, gums and bones to give your dentist a complete picture. Extraoral X-rays are often used when a dentist suspects that there may be problems with the teeth or other parts of the dental system, such as toothache or tooth decay.
Super dentists perform X-rays when absolutely necessary, and protect their patients by letting them wear lead aprons to protect all their organs. Many parents are concerned about the radiation that comes with X-rays, but the risk of cancer, heart disease and other serious health problems is drastically low.
Pardip Sansi If you are concerned about radiation exposure, contact your dentist immediately so that your staff can assure you that all X-rays performed in the office are the safest measures that can be taken.
The purpose of X-rays is to enable your dentist to get a complete picture of your mouth and look for signs of oral problems. If you are a new patient, you should undergo an X-ray as soon as possible so that your new dentist can get a clear picture of you and your dental health.

For the Jews of Romania, December 1937 was the beginning of a deadly pressure of their lives and livelihoods. One of the first measures, taken by the new government was the review of their citizenship, with the intention of stripping many of their rights. As a consequence of that measure, we lost our citizenship on a technicality. The second blow came in the form of a decree that all Jews must keep their places of business open at official hours and on Saturdays. Failure to obey the law was punishable by stiff fines and by revocation of the permit. As a result of this law, my Father gave up the store, for he would never work on Saturdays or on religious holidays. All this happened to us in the year 1938.

The proponents of chaos theory suggest that what in real life appear to be purely random measurements are, in fact, generated by some deterministic set of equations, and that these equations can be deduced from the patterns that appear in a Poincaré plot. For instance, some proponents of chaos theory have taken the times between human heartbeats and put them into Poincaré plots. They claim to see patterns in these plots, and they have found deterministic generating equations that appear to produce the same type of pattern. As of this writing, there is one major weakness to chaos theory applied in this fashion. There is no measure of how good the fit is between the plot based on data and the plot generated by a specific set of equations. The proof that the proposed generator is correct is based on asking the reader to look at two similar graphs. This eyeball test has proved to be a fallible one in statistical analysis. Those things that seem to the eye to be similar or very close to the same are often drastically different when examined carefully with statistical tools developed for this purpose.

From the viewpoint of the vital interests of the United States, the principal issue in Europe today is whether or not it will be totalitarian. If the virus of totalitarianism spreads much farther, it will be almost impossible to prevent its engulfing all western Europe. This would mean communist totalitarianism almost everywhere on the continent with the iron curtain moving to the Atlantic. In the event of a totalitarian Europe, our foreign policy would have to be completely re-oriented and a great part of what we have fought for and accomplished in the past would be lost. The change in the power relationships involved would force us to adopt drastic domestic measures and would inevitably require great and burdensome sacrifices on the part of our citizens. The maintenance of a much larger military establishment would undoubtedly be required. The sacrifices would not be simply material. With a totalitarian Europe which would have no regard for individual freedom, our spiritual loss would be incalculable.

For example, early in 1642 in Norwich it was believed that local apprentices planned to attack the cathedral to remove the altar rails and the organ, in response to which the dean and chapter decided themselves to dismantle the rails but to save the organ. With rumours that the apprentices intended to attack on Shrove Tuesday, they took drastic measures to defend the cathedral, locking the doors and gathering prebendaries and choristers to defend the building, but also bringing in some musketeers, whose weapons were ‘ready charged with bullets and one of them had in his musket a bullet split in parts for to shoot the apprentices when they came’, some halberdiers, ‘expecting to run their halberds in any bodies that dare offer to come’, and some ‘pistol blades’, one of whom drunkenly boasted that he was ready to kill hundreds of apprentices. In fact, none appeared and, according to the mocking printed account of the event, the defenders ‘stood like so many Abraham Ninnies doing nothing but tell how many crows flew over the pinnacle’, the author concluding that ‘they would rather lose their lives than their organs, so fast are they glued to their pipes and popish trinkets’.12

In 1970 the Quakers released a slim book entitled “Who Shall Live? Man’s Control over Birth and Death: A Report Prepared for the American Friends Service Committee” which was the result of a decision which the Family Planning Committee of the AFSC reached in December 1966 “to explore the issues involved in abortion.” That meeting in turn flowed from the November 1966 meeting that the AFSC had had with Planned Parenthood, and that meeting resulted from the setback the Quaker and Episcopalian forces for sexual liberation and eugenics in Philadelphia had suffered at the hands of Martin Mullen, when the governor capitulated to his demands and backed away from state-promoted birth control in August of the same year. As a result of their meeting with Planned Parenthood, the Quakers decided to “make a study of the availability of family planning services for medically indigent families in the city and to form an estimate as to the extent of the unmet need for such services. “Who Shall Live” was the fruit of this labor.
“Who Shall Live?” is a graphic example of moral theology in the Quaker mode. It begins by announcing that “for 300 years members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) have been seekers after the truth” and concludes by admitting that they have been so far unsuccessful in their efforts. Where once people like Fox and Penn “thought of himself as created only a few thousand years ago,” the enlightened Quakers who wrote birth-control tracts in the 1960s “now know he is part of an evolutionary process that has been going on for billions of years. In that process he has arrived at a stage of knowledge and technology whereby he himself has the power, at least in part, to determine the direction
in which he will evolve in the future.”
Having decided that their religious forebears were wrong on just about everything because they didn’t understand science, the 1970 Quakers then give some sense of their own grasp of science as it applies to population issues. Looking at the world from outer space in 1968, the Quakers found it “incredible that 3.5 billion people should be living on that small spinning planet.” Taking their cue from Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 book “The Population Bomb” the Quakers concluded quite logically that if the planet cannot sustain 3.5 billion people in 1968, then it certainly couldn’t sustain 6 billion people in the year 2000. Unless drastic population-control measures are introduced immediately, dire consequences will follow. “Lamont C. Cole, who is a Professor of Ecology warns that we may one day find ourselves short of breathable air,” the Quakers announced breathlessly.

Nationalism associated all too easily with anti-semitism. The huge leap in population growth of the nineteenth century, migrations and contacts with other racial groups, had led to theories of eugenics – subscribed to even by intellectual socialists such as H.G.Wells – which advocated drastic and racist measures to accomplish restriction.

One of your goals for an off-site is to create grounds where people feel comfortable speaking heresy. If whatever problem sitting in front of you could have been solved via the day-to-day, it would have been solved. Drastic measures call for creative thinking, and now that you’ve gathered these bright people together, you want them to feel comfortable saying whatever compelling ideas cross their minds. Speaking heresy is easier when you aren’t surrounded by visual reminders of obvious constraints.

There have been some extensive studies done on meditation and the most noteworthy finding of these studies seemed to show in the EEG measuring of brain wave patterns. During your waking consciousness, brain waves are random and chaotic. The brain usually operates with different wavelengths from the front to the back of the brain, and from hemisphere to hemisphere. Meditation changes this drastically. Subjects in meditation show increased Alpha waves and these waves continue to increase throughout the duration of the meditation.

My task was nothing less than the moulding of the cultural sense of the nation, and it had two main heads. I had to guide taste into the right channels and I had to see that no one else guided it into the wrong. Thus it was just as important to discourage bad influence as to encourage good. To send a promising and impecunious young painter to an Art School with a Government grant was in itself a praiseworthy act ; but it was useless from the national point of view if it was not accompanied by drastic measures to keep the most suggestive sorts of French literature from entering our ports. To help a young genius to Valhalla was one thing. But it was almost as important, from the national point of view, to see that our youth was not brought into contacts with those packets of French postcards which are labelled, “Très rare, très curieux. Discrétion.”
I take a good deal of credit to myself—though, of course, Pettinger got the kudos at the time—for tightening up the administration of the Customs so that such authors as Joyce, whose name was either James or John—I forget which—Stein, Baudelaire, Louÿs, Anatole France, Proust, Freud, Jung, Rolland, and others, were intercepted at the ports by the special Pornographie section of the Constabulary which I created with men borrowed from the uniformed branch of the Metropolitan Police. These men, ail of whom could read and write English fluently, performed admirable service in the détection of immoral literature.
Art Exhibitions also came within the scope of my department, and I closed at least a dozen objection-able ones which contained nudes and other suggestive subjects. It was always a matter of regret to me that I was unable to take strong action about Epstein’s “Genesis.” But the Marchioness of Risborough—a leader of taste and fashion, who was not only persona gratissima in exalted circles, but also the daughter of a millionaire steelmaker—had publicly declared her admiration of it, and so there was nothing for me to do except to déclaré mine. And now, looking back on it, I realize how right I was to choose Lady Risborough’s opinion rather than the small advantages to be obtained from Epstein’s gratitude. Small tradesmen who tried to sell miniature replicas of the “Genesis” were ruthlessly prosecuted, however, by my department on the charge of exhibiting, or causing to be exhibited, indécent figures.

The presidency is a prime symbol of our national unity. The election of the president (with his alternate, the vice-president) is the only political act that we perform together as a nation; voting in the presidential election is certainly the political choice most significant to the American people, and most closely attended to by them. No matter, then, can be of higher political importance than our considering whether, in any given instance, this act of choice is to be undone, and the chosen president dismissed from office in disgrace. Everyone must shrink from this most drastic of measures.

The impact of second-class treatment on black people’s bodies is devastating. It is manifested not only in the black–white death gap but also in the drastic measures required when chronic disease is left unmanaged. Black patients are less likely than whites to be referred to kidney and liver transplant wait lists and are more likely to die while waiting for a transplant.68 If they are lucky enough to get a donated kidney or liver, blacks are sicker than whites at the time of transplantation and less likely to survive afterward. “Take a look at all the black amputees,” said a caller to a radio show I was speaking on, identifying the remarkable numbers of people with amputated legs you see in poor black communities as a sign of health inequities. According to a 2008 nationwide study of Medicare claims, whites in Louisiana and Mississippi have a higher rate of leg amputation than in other states, but the rate for blacks is five times higher than for whites.69 An earlier study of Medicare services found that physicians were less likely to treat their black patients with aggressive, curative therapies such as hospitalization for heart disease, coronary artery bypass surgery, coronary angioplasty, and hip-fracture repair.70 But there were two surgeries that blacks were far more likely to undergo than whites: amputation of a lower limb and removal of the testicles to treat prostate cancer. Blacks are less likely to get desirable medical interventions and more likely to get undesirable interventions that good medical care would avoid.

Eagerness to be clear of pornography expresses itself in two practical ways. First, you pursue accountability. You need help in a struggle that is impossible to fight alone. Accountability entails enlisting other Christians who can help you think about strategies you have not considered, who can actively check up on you, and who will diligently pray for you. Second, eagerly seeking to clear yourself means you pursue radical measures to ensure you have no access to pornography. This enslaving sin is only defeated by drastic measures to cut it off from all angles.

Drastic measures were called for, or one of them would soon be in strong hysterics. “Oh, fine, then,” he groused. “Get yourself killed and leave a man to grieve all over again when he’s hardly getting his bearings.” He sat back against the headboard and folded his arms behind his head. “Leave his only surviving child utterly bereft, cast adrift by a cousin too cavalier to accept the protection lying immediately to hand.” He raised his gaze toward the shadows flickering on the ceiling. “Go ahead and thwart my authority as head of the family, head of the household, and the local magistrate.” Gilly crawled across the mattress, which was roughly the dimensions of a foaling stall. “Leave me to drown in guilt and helpless rage,” he went on. “To waste my remaining years in fervent prayer for your immortal and entirely too stubborn and misguided soul.

Personal Experience: The Power Of Security
I once traded without verifying my account, and the anxiety was overwhelming. Every transaction felt like a gamble beyond the market risks. After switching to a verified Bybit account, the relief was palpable. Knowing my investments were secure allowed me to focus on learning and improving my trading skills, ultimately leading to greater success. Are you taking the necessary steps to secure your crypto trading activities? With the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies, ensuring security is not just wise—it’s essential.

The Reality (Universe, objects, matter, space) we measure is the Reality created by the Primary Quality of the Ultimate Source. When we measure the secondary quality (formerly primary), we are convinced it is as material as it appears. Yet, it is the reality programmed to be perceived as such by tertiary qualities (formerly secondary). Regardless of this “wrong” opinion or “perception,” Reality is not less real than we thought it was. It appears to be as it is, regardless of our views and acquired knowledge about it. We can and should adjust our worldview accordingly, but that does not affect us adversely. The change of perception should not necessarily be a drastic or detrimental worldview change. Quite to the contrary, this change shall boost progress and better align us with the cosmic organism we are part of. There is no reason to doubt or question reality, but we have to get used to a new, changed idea or understanding of reality since reality is not what we thought it was. Matter is not what we thought it was. Space is not what we thought it was. Our Reality is the Ultimate Web of Information. Whenever we measure something, we measure the information, the program, not space or matter per se. The only volume of Reality comes from Void.

What is the $600 rule on Venmo? (Quick Fix, Clear Mind)
The “$600 rule” refers to a change in U.S. +1-888-510-9678 tax law under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. It affects how third party payment platforms (like Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, etc.) +1-888-510-9678 report transactions to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) using Form 1099 K.
Under the old rules, a user had to have over $20,000 in gross payments +1-888-510-9678 and at least 200 transactions of goods/services in a year +1-888-510-9678 in order for the platform to issue a 1099 K.
The new law intends to lower that threshold drastically to $600 per year (for goods & services payments), irrespective of transaction count +1-888-510-9678 . That means if you receive more than $600 in sales or services payments via Venmo etc. +1-888-510-9678 , the platform may have to send a 1099 K.
Phased Implementation
Because the change is significant, the IRS is phasing in the new threshold gradually. The schedule is roughly:
Tax Year Threshold for triggering 1099 K for business (goods/services) payments
2023 Old threshold still applies: +1-888-510-9678 ~$20,000 + 200 transactions.
2024 Lowered to $5,000. If you receive over $5,000 via payment apps for goods/services in 2024,+1-888-510-9678 you should expect a 1099 K for that year.
2025 The threshold will drop further to $2,500.
2026 Full implementation at $600. The moment it reaches this phase, you’ll get a 1099 K if your goods/services payments +1-888-510-9678 exceed $600 in a calendar year.
What Transactions Are Affected — What Aren’t
It’s important to know what type of payments+1-888-510-9678 trigger the rule and what are excluded.
Affected (“Reportable”) Transactions:
Payments for goods or services.+1-888-510-9678 If you sell something or provide a service via Venmo or similar, and the payment is processed as a business or “goods & services” transaction +1-888-510-9678.
Side hustle income: freelance work, small business sales, crafts, renting out stuff, etc. If these are paid through Venmo/PayPal under the “goods & services” designation, they count.
Excluded Transactions:
Personal/friends & family transfers: e.g. splitting rent with roommates,+1-888-510-9678 paying someone back for dinner, giving gifts, etc.+1-888-510-9678 These are not subject to the 1099 K reporting under the new rule.
Selling personal items at a loss: If you sell something you had for less than what you paid (i.e. you didn’t profit), then that sale may not be taxable or reportable under this rule.
What This Means For Users
More people will get 1099 K forms: Under the phased thresholds,+1-888-510-9678 more Venmo/PayPal users—especially those doing side gigs—will cross the required amounts. They’ll receive the Form 1099 K +1-888-510-9678 , and the IRS will get a copy.
Reporting income is still required even if you don’t receive a 1099 K. If you have income from goods or services, +1-888-510-9678 you must report it. The 1099 K is just a tool for the IRS & platform reporting, +1-888-510-9678 not the only measure of what’s taxable.
You’ll need to keep good records: Differentiate which transactions are business vs personal. Save receipts, +1-888-510-9678 note what you sold, proof of cost basis, etc. This helps if you receive a 1099 K and need to prove some payments +1-888-510-9678 were non taxable or personal.
Platforms may ask for additional info: Tax IDs (Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number) +1-888-510-9678 to be provided so they can issue correct forms.

Coinbase has taken substantial measures to protect its systems. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) The company holds a comprehensive insurance policy that covers the digital assets stored on its platform. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) In the rare event of a breach to Coinbase's own infrastructure, such as a hack of their servers, the company is prepared to reimburse affected customers for their losses. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) This scenario would involve a compromise that is not a result of any user action. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) However, due to the company's advanced security and the use of "cold storage" (offline wallets), such a platform-wide breach is extremely uncommon. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 )
When the User Is Responsible +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 )
The majority of account compromises are not due to an institutional security lapse but rather a failure in an individual's personal security. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) These attacks often involve social engineering, where hackers manipulate a user to gain access. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) Common examples include: +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 )

Malware: Stealing information from your computer. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 )
In these instances, the company's position is that the unauthorized access was enabled by a user's oversight, not a flaw in the platform's security. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) As per the user agreement, the responsibility for safeguarding your login information and personal devices rests with you. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) Because the breach did not occur on their end, Coinbase is not obligated to reimburse you for the stolen funds. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 )
Protecting Your Own Assets +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 )
Since reimbursement is not guaranteed, your best defense is to take strong preventative measures. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) Be sure to use a unique, strong password that is not used on any other site. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) More importantly, enable and utilize the most robust form of two-factor authentication (2FA) available, such as a physical security key or an authenticator app. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) Avoid using SMS-based 2FA, which is vulnerable to SIM swap attacks. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 ) By taking these steps, you are actively building your own secure perimeter and drastically reducing the risk of a hacker gaining access to your account. +1-( 856 )-( 246 )-( 9095 )

Diabetes Screening Clermont
Living in Clermont, a city known for its rolling hills and active lifestyle, it's easy to think health problems are always far away. But diabetes is a silent and growing issue, affecting millions of Americans—including many right here in our local community. Whether you feel healthy or not, getting screened for diabetes is one of the smartest steps you can take for your long-term well-being. Diabetes, especially in its early stages, often has no obvious symptoms. Many people walk around for months—or even years—without realizing their blood sugar levels are out of balance. That’s why diabetes screening is so important. It’s not about treating illness; it’s about preventing it from progressing silently in your body. A simple blood test can detect early signs of prediabetes or diabetes, giving you the chance to make lifestyle changes or start treatment before serious complications arise.
In Clermont, more healthcare providers are encouraging patients to get screened, especially those who have risk factors such as being over 45 years old, having a family history of diabetes, being overweight, living a sedentary lifestyle, or having high blood pressure. However, even people outside of these categories can develop diabetes. That’s why routine screening is a smart move for everyone. The beauty of early detection lies in its power to change the outcome. If you catch diabetes early, you have a greater chance of managing or even reversing it through lifestyle adjustments—like eating healthier, getting regular exercise, and managing stress. These aren’t drastic measures. They’re achievable steps that can help you live longer, feel better, and reduce your risk of complications such as heart disease, kidney issues, vision loss, and nerve damage.
