Personal fraud occurs when another person, group, or company tricks you into giving up money, services, or sensitive information that can be used for identity theft.īoth types of fraud can be devastating.Business fraud occurs when customers, employees, or investors scam your business out of money or services. ![]() But almost all examples of fraud fall under two categories: They could even pretend to be someone else, as in identity theft.įraud covers a wide range of different scams and crimes. Or, they might use misrepresentation and leave out critical information during applications. They could also want special services or treatments you wouldn’t normally give them.įraudsters can use outright deception to try and trick you into giving them what they want. But that’s not the only reason someone will try to defraud you or your business. ![]() The goal of fraud is almost always money or financial gain. What Is Fraud? What Are the Risks?įraud is a broad legal term that refers to situations where someone is intentionally dishonest in order to receive some kind of benefit from a person, business, or entity. In this guide, we’ll cover 20+ examples of fraud you’re most likely to face, the red flags to watch out for, and what to do if you’ve been the victim of fraud schemes. To protect yourself, your family, and your business, you need to know the warning signs to look out for. Many people feel ashamed or embarrassed that they were tricked by fraudsters. According to the latest report from PwC, businesses lost $42 billion to fraud in 2022 - the worst year ever. But that's only a drop in the bucket when compared to how fraud impacts businesses. ![]() Fraud is on the rise, with criminals coming for both businesses and individuals.Īccording to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Americans reported 2.8 million cases of fraud, with victims losing an average of $550.

![]() For a hint of that creamy sweetness in a dessert-like chocolate chip cookies, which has more flavors to balance out the vanilla, artificial extract is suitable. It’s great for desserts like ice cream or cupcake frosting, in which the vanilla flavor will stand out. The aromatic, sweet, and musky flavor is creamy and complex. Natural vanilla extract from a country like Madagascar is the highest quality. Single source natural vanilla extract will always be labeled with its country of origin. You might also notice that some companies, like McCormick, use labels like “pure vanilla extract.” This term signifies that the vanilla extract in the bottle is natural, but it’s likely a mixture of vanilla from different sources. However, natural vanilla also comes from Mexico, China, and Tahiti. ![]() Cured and fermented beans are ground up and soaked in alcohol and water to create the liquid extract you find at the grocery store.Īccording to Le, Madagascar and Indonesia produce the majority of the world’s vanilla, a combined 6,000 metric tons every year. Natural vanilla extract comes from the vanilla orchid, which, when pollinated, produces a pod containing vanilla beans. Natural vanilla extract can be found at the grocery store and will likely be labeled with the country from which it was sourced, but it tends to cost more (some bottles run for as much as $22). However, real natural vanilla extract comes directly from the vanilla bean. ![]() Instead, it’s used to flavor foods like ice cream. Vanilla extract made from yeast or fungi won’t appear in the baking aisle. Because it comes from an organism, under federal regulations, you can call it natural flavoring.” “You can genetically engineer the yeast to basically transform sugar into vanilla flavor. ![]() “You can also produce vanilla from fungi, like yeast,” Le says. About 85 percent of the world’s synthetic vanillin, or 18,000 metric tons every year, is produced this way, writes Le.Īny vanilla extract made from the petrochemical process has to be called imitation or artificial vanilla extract, and you can easily find bottles of vanilla extract made using this process at the grocery store. Typically, two chemicals are combined to create vanillylmandelic acid, which, when it reacts to oxygen, produces synthetic vanillin, the main ingredient in imitation vanilla. How artificial vanilla extract is actually madeĪccording to Le, it’s much more likely that artificial vanilla is made by refining petrochemicals. “That’s the trick that flavor companies use to hide the origins,” he says. Because the secretion is an animal product, it could fall under the “natural flavoring” label. But even if you have an ancient bottle of vanilla extract hiding in the back of your cabinets or a frostbitten tub of vanilla ice cream you never bothered to throw away, Le says there’s no guarantee that the ingredient label would specify that it contains castoreum. Today, there’s no reason to believe that the artificial vanilla extract you bought at the grocery store contains castoreum. “It’s really gone out style,” Bryan Quoc Le, a food scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, tells me. Any pearl-clutching articles you may have run across spreading panic that there’s beaver butt oil in your food are greatly exaggerated. “All five unanimously stated that castoreum is not used today in any form of vanilla sold for human food use” and that it’s more common use is in fragrances. Going farther back, in 2011, one vegetarian non-profit asked five companies that produce natural and artificial vanilla if they used castoreum in their products. Since at least 2013, only 300 pounds of castoreum have been produced annually. The entire experience sounds unappetizing (would you really want to use castoreum on your food after witnessing where it comes from?) and uncomfortable, for the beaver in particular. First the beaver must be anesthetized and the castor gland “milked” to produce the secretion. According to National Geographic, the process is complex and invasive. The biggest challenge to processing castoreum for use in food is that it’s challenging to harvest, as you might imagine. Castoreum is rarely used to flavor food anymore, and even if it were, the FDA has ruled that it poses no health risk. Don’t rush into your kitchen and purge all your vanilla extract from your cabinets or toss your vanilla ice cream from the freezer, though. The properties of castoreum have made it a popular additive in perfumes and to enhance vanilla, strawberry, and raspberry flavors in foods like ice cream and yogurt. Thanks to a diet of tree bark, the goo has a musky fragrance similar to natural vanilla. In nature, beavers use castoreum to mark their territory. The castor gland, located underneath the beaver’s tail distressingly close to the anus, produces a slimy brown substance called castoreum. I think it was about 3 miles before reaching Sunrise Lakes. We stopped to setup camp in a meadow that had fire circles set up by previous backpackers. The first night we stopped at Cathedral Lake and didn't quite make it to Sunrise Lakes the first day. My mates and I did this back in July! What a great experience! We actually started in Tuolumne Meadows on the John Muir Trail. The other option is to turn and follow the trail back out to the Tenaya Lake trail head which would take 2-3 hours. Make sure you brings lots of water for this because if you are a superhuman and choose to continue hiking you're going to be putting in a seriously long and grueling day. If you decide to continue on towards Little Yosemite Valley you are back in the land of opportunity and can try and get to the top of Half Dome, or spend some time at Merced Lake. Half Dome and the valley comprise the other view that stretches to the horizon. From the summit you can see the evidence of the aptly named, Little Valley Fire. The final trail sign is at the base of the scramble which last the final 10 minutes of your ascent to the summit. Follow that until you clear the treeline and can really take in the views. The second checkpoint has no sign pointing to Clouds Rest, but helpful hikers have created a rock CR that usually has an arrow pointing to the right. You do have to hop across some trickles and streams along the duration of the hike as well. Once re-connected to the Clouds Rest trail you begin a brief descent before you come across the only lake on the CR Trail. This allows you to break up the hike, spend a night relaxing and help you have an early start back on the trail. ![]() Start out at the Tenaya Lake Trailhead, where you can head directly onto the trail for Clouds Rest or you can branch off after 2.7 miles to Sunrise Lakes. Make this an overnight with a scenic stay Sunrise Lakes. Enjoy spectacular panoramic views including Yosemite Valley and Little Yosemite Valley from Clouds Rest. ![]() The mute feature allows users to block out Tweets and Retweets from individual people in their timelines without actually unfollowing those users. Images from a limited test period, Twitter has officially begun rolling out mute functionality to its iOS, Android, and Web applications. – Multiphoto inprovements for large columns – Removing time from a scheduled tweet now removes that Tweet from the Scheduled column. – Retweeting a Tweet with emoji no longer scrambles Tweet contents ![]() You can now find locally trending topics for Regions and Cities, and add a column based on the trend. ![]() – Fixes issue with empty columns after computer wakes from sleep. The updated TweetDeck for Mac is available on the Mac App Store now. In addition, the updated app fixes a few annoyances like the empty columns bug after a computer wakes from sleep as well as retweets with emoji not display properly. You can now remove scheduled tweets from the Scheduled column by removing the time from a tweet and the other update also includes improvements for multiphoto tweets in large columns. The update also includes a number of other improvements and fixes. “ You can now find locally trending topics for Regions and Cities, and add a column based on the trend.” TweetDeck for Mac was updated via the Mac App Store to version 3.8.4 and with it comes a new feature that will show regional and city trends. The unfortunate truth? Not even the developers know. So what’s going on here? Why has it taken two years for any more news of the update? When will the new version finally be available? The developers have noted that the 5.0 update for Mac is facing big delays. Three days shy of a year after releasing the iPhone update, however, users were given what is currently the app’s most recent update. The Iconfactory, Twitterrific’s developers, promised that a Mac version of the updated app was in development and would include support for the new iCloud syncing feature and an all-new design. In December 2012, Twitterrific 5 was released for iOS devices. It’s currently on its fourth major version. To this day it remains a popular choice among users and has seen many major updates and redesigns. It was also the first app to use the word “tweet” to refer to the posts on the network, and introduced many modern staples like conversations and replies. Twitterrific has been around for quite a while now, and was the very first native Twitter application ever built for Mac. Right below Twitter for Mac you’ll find Twitterrific. You may recognize the official Twitter app along with some of the most popular and prolific third-party clients. If you open the Mac App Store right now and do a search for “twitter,” you’ll find results just like the ones in the image above. ![]() Neither the Site nor any Service is directed to children under the age of 13, and we shall not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 13.

Wireless routers should clearly state the square footage that they cover. However, Wi-Fi 5 should be plenty for most plans today and will likely be more affordable (1). Wi-Fi 6 is the most recent standard, offering some additional future-proofing. 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) can handle up to 10 Gbps (in theory). ![]() 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) can handle up to 1.3 Gbps.802.11n, also known as Wi-Fi 4, can handle speeds up to 300 Mbps.These are the most common standards you’ll encounter today: This will be listed as “802.11” followed by some letters. When it comes to wireless router speed, the single most important spec is the wireless standard used. If you have gigabit speeds and your old router can only handle up to 500 Mbps, you’re wasting money. It’s important that you ensure your router can support the speed of your internet service. At the higher end, you’ll get powerful devices that can support multi-gig speeds and a houseful of devices at once. On the lower end, you’ll get a functional device that can cover small homes and handle speeds of a few hundred Mbps. Wireless routers can range in price from less than $100 to over $300. If you need help choosing a router, these are the criteria we recommend following. However, it’s less likely to make a difference in network performance compared to a router. If you want all your own equipment, and to maybe save a little extra money in the long run, buying a modem is an option. ![]() You can almost always combine your ISP’s modem with your own router without issue. A router is the most universal piece of networking equipment (it’s not tied to the type of service you have), and it’s the one most likely to make a difference in your actual day-to-day use. We generally recommend people buy their own router first, and use the modem your your internet company provides. Most routers also have several ethernet ports so you can plug in devices directly, if you want a wired or "hardline" connection. The router then takes that signal and broadcasts it in a wireless network that devices can connect to. A modem is responsible for translating the raw signal from your internet service provider into something your devices can understand. Before we answer this question, it’ll be helpful to explain what the difference is. You can find pairs of quadruplets, triplets, or even quadruplets that are only suitable for a specific row, column, region or zone.
