Yes, it is *safe*, however, it isn’t *secure*, but that’s okay, because the system doesn’t need it to be.Your Account and Routing Number are fairly public information - it’s printed on every check you have. It’s very easy, nearly trivial, for someone to acquire the information.Armed with that information, it is very simple to initiate a bank draft. Trivial in fact. I won’t go into details on how to do it, but it isn’t even script kiddy level work, it’s easier than that.However, *transactions* done with *just* this information are not considered “Completed” until after the statement containing them are printed (physically or electronically) and the account holder has had time to review and challenge them. 9 times out of 10 nowadays, this happens when the holder checks their balance online and realizes he’s $2,000 short and there’s an unexpected transfer to some overseas location.As such, the transaction your wannabe script kiddy thief wants to initiate is repudiable, all the account holder has to do is call the bank and say “Hey, I never authorized the transfer of $2,000 to Russia”. Then an investigation will be launched, and the transaction will be reversed. Because any transaction has a destination, your bank will be able to get the money back from the receiving bank, who will then debit the receiving account (and possibly take legal action for fraud against the account holder)You will not be out your money very long after you’ve discovered it’s gone, most banks will even go so far as to issue you a “provisional credit”, giving you access to that money while they are investigating your claim. Even if the bank doesn’t do that, the investigation will only take a few days, and then the money will be restored to you.Banks are within their rights to withhold the money from the recipient until final settlement occurs. Few do, for Customer Service reasons (since 99% of transfers are legit, it’s cheaper to handle any leakages from thieves withdrawing before the transaction gets reversed than it is to handle customer service issues from delaying the legitimate transactions). However, even if the thief gets away with the money, *YOU* will also get your money back. The bank’s fraud insurance policy covers the loss (or the bank self-insures, depending).

I have given this allot of thought over the years. I used to think it was within my rights to decide where my name appears and in what context. I was bothered about not being able to keep my information from getting into the hands of people I didn't want having it. Well, all these years later I've come to the conclusion that the only way to stay off the radar, so to speak, is to change my name and move to an island without technology. It is frustrating. Not only are you vulnerable as far as possibly becoming the victim of a dickhead with nothing better to do than cause trouble but all the marketing and spamming is downright annoying. It shouldn't be this way. We should be allowed our privacy. We shouldn't have our email inundated with marketing and scams that nobody in their right mind would fall for but so many do. We should have the ultimate say so when it comes to who has our information and how it's used. And don't even get me started on how we get marketed to begin with. It's more than obvious our private conversations are being monitored because the marketing is pin pointed to things taken from our conversations. My hair was falling out when I was on some serious hard core medication several years ago so I whined about it in emails to my mom. Next thing I know, in less than a day, I'm receiving advertisments for hair loss clinics. I had never searched baldness clinics before. The only way they could have known to send me ads from hair loss clinics is they (whoever the hell "they" are) were scrutinizing my emails to my mom to some degree. I would very much love to find a way to completely wipe myself out of cyberspace.  Changing my name and withdrawing from society completely is my only brilliant idea to get that done.

Yes, it was pretty much ingrained in the culture I grew up in, being the 1970s in the UK.Being actually gay was considered pretty outré - people sometimes claimed they were for the shock value/publicity, like David Bowie. On the other hand there were sterotypical ‘gay’ characters on TV like Larry Grayson and John Inman, but they were treated as harmless figures of fun. It was perfectly acceptable to laugh at gay people, so we did. At the time, it was acceptable to laugh at any “minority”, including women. No wonder feminism started to get traction at the time, looking back it was utterly shameful.Now, not being gay myself, I have no idea what it must have been like to be gay and grow up in such a culture. While gays were treated as a joke on the surface, I’d be fairly certain that if you actually were gay, it would have been a horrible thing to have to endure. It might be something people would laugh about initially, but I bet if you were serious, it would turn dark and ugly very quickly. I mean, we had police raids by the vice squad on Gay News, for christ’s sake.In the mid 70s, there was a political scandal involving the leader of the Liberal party, Jeremy Thorpe, and his gay lover, Norman Scott. It ended Thorpe’s career in an instant, but how did the public, press and pundits react? By turning it into one massive great joke. The British will turn anything they’re uncomfortable about into humour; it’s our way of dealing with things.Some people did try to change things. Tom Robinson released a single called “Glad To Be Gay” in 1978 which is a biting attack on the anti-gay culture of the day. It was a very brave and bold thing to do, and of course he became the butt of a lot of so-called comedians’ jokes for doing it. I admire him greatly now, looking back. But at the time? There was no way you could admit to liking that song and have your credibility remain intact. But I can imagine that for a gay person, it might have been small fragment of hope to cling to that things might change.In the meantime, nobody knew anybody who was actually gay. At least that’s what we believed. Being gay was something that we knew existed, but only in a very distant and abstract way. It didn’t apply to us.The “first” gay person I met was someone I went to college with. We were friends, and his gayness was fairly obvious to most of us, though he naturally denied it. How did we treat him? As a figure of fun of course, that’s what was expected. At some level, I didn’t believe he truly was gay, he just seemed a bit camp. I’m sorry to say that we effectively bullied him about it, and I can’t imagine how horrible that must have been for him, though he handled it stoically as was expected. One night after a drunken party I caught him in bed with another lad from our group of friends, and I didn’t handle it well. It was beyond a joke now. To my eternal shame, I wasn’t able to remain friends with him after that. Goodness knows why I thought it had anything to do with me, or why I felt threatened by it. It was literally none of my business, yet I felt it necessary to be all high and mighty and believe myself to be morally superior because I was straight. I’m truly sorry mate.Finally, one incident changed my attitude forever, though in a way I like to think it was just the final flip of the switch that consolidated a long period of growing up and realising my attitude (and that of the entire nation) stunk anyway. I was 18, and working in my first job. One of my colleagues was an openly gay man called Joe who was actually a very funny and interesting person. He was so openly gay and camp in the usual stereotypical way that it was the perfect cover for his actual gayness. We all believed that he was so gay, he couldn’t possibly be. No, it makes no sense to me either.Joe liked to wind me up for my homophobia, which was far from unique, obviously. He liked to make outrageous remarks intended to make one blush and flush out the homophobic attitudes. It was a brilliant way of turning things around, actually. It was excruciatingly embarrassing, because it was our (my) attitudes that were shown up to be out of date and quite ridiculous. One day I was feeling especially uncomfortable, and, god help me, I actually came out with “look, I don’t care what you are Joe, but don’t try it on with me, OK?” He just laughed and said “don’t flatter yourself dear”.Suddenly I realised it was me that was all wrong. I saw myself through his eyes, and it wasn’t nice. I realised that gayness was nothing to fear, because, well, it really had nothing to do with me. It took a while for that to really sink in, to undo the years and years of cultural indoctrination, but gradually I became very accepting after that. But as it happens I wasn’t going against the grain after all - it was around that time that the 70s culture was being fairly quickly swept away, especially in the area of comedy - there was a ‘new wave’ of comedians that found humour in lots of other things that didn’t require the denigration of gays, women, Irish people, black people, Pakistanis and the like. People like Mel Smith, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Ben Elton, Rik Mayall quickly displaced all those horrible old homophobic and racist twats of the 70s, like Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson. Don’t underestimate how important comedy was to the changing of cultural attitudes at the time - comedy was as important to youth as rock n roll. Suddenly it was cool to be ‘right on’ and ‘politically correct’, which of course was perfect for separating the young from the previous generation.So my personal Damascene turning point coincided with everyone else’s, as it turned out. But no less genuine for that.

[tl;dr] It’s a mistake. Mistakes happen.Originally the first three digits of a social-security number had meaning; it was an area code. By looking at the code, one could tell where the card was issued. (Also by looking at the full number one could determine the approximate year the number was issued.)Over time the SSN assignment procedure changed. At first, cards were assigned by local Social Security Administration offices. The applicant went to the office and came home with a card. Then the process was centralized. All cards were issued from one office in Maryland and mailed, but SSA followed the same area assignment scheme based on the return address of the applicant—this is the procedure in effect when Obama went to work at Baskin-Robbins as a teenager. Finally, the SSN became randomly assigned.Barack Obama regularly released his income tax returns as president and the person who put the returns on the White House website did a poor job of redacting the social-security number. That’s how Obama’s SSN leaked into the public sphere.The ever-vigilant Birthers examined Obama’s SSN and found its area code, 042, was used for Connecticut, but Obama never lived there. In the Birther universe: anomaly implies fraud.I blogged about the various aspects of the Birther movement, including this one, for 8 years. Comments on my blog included a handful of anecdotes from people who either had or knew people who had social-security numbers with area codes unrelated to their lives as well. It can’t be that rare.The leading theory to explain the number is the fairly common data entry error, misreading digits. Supervising data entry operators is one of the jobs I’ve had and I know that people make mistakes—look at all the typos in Quora! In the case of Obama, switching the first two of Obama’s zip code from “9” to “0” changes a Hawaii zip code into a Connecticut zip code. That explanation is eminently plausible. I personally had a zero turned into a 9 by the IRS when they processed my Form 1040 many years ago.The story gets a little more bizarre at this point. California attorney and dentist Orly Taitz has been a birther crusader since 2008. She filed a series of lawsuits in an attempt to prevent Obama from taking office, claiming he was born in Kenya. In one her lawsuits she, in violation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, filed a document with the court with Obama’s SSN unredacted, and through this route the number was widely released to the public. Not long after the number became public, a search of a credit reporting database returned a number of legitimate transactions for Barack Obama under this number, but one single entry (with no description and only a year of birth) for the name Harrison J. Bounel, born in 1890. From this the birthers decided that Obama had stolen this fellow’s SSN. I think it more likely that someone applied for a credit card using Obama’s then public SSN and the name Bounel is fictitious. And it gets weirder. The birthers claim that Bounel was a patient in a care facility in Newtown, Connecticut, where Sandy Hook school shooting tragedy occurred, and that the shooting was staged to cover it up.In fact, no one has ever found any evidence that someone named Harrison J. Bounel ever lived. No such person appears in the Social Security Death Index (as people born in 1890 tend to be), and the Social Security Administration in response to FOIA and several birther lawsuits, has said no person with that name and year of birth ever applied for a SSN. One of those lawsuits was Taitz v. Astrue.But that’s not the end of the story. One birther (who I will not name publicly) fraudulently misrepresented himself as Barack Obama’s employer and used a SSN verification system to attempt to verify that the published Obama SSN really belonged to Barack Obama. He got a message that the number “failed to verify.” This, of course, just added fuel to the conspiracy theory. This result, however, is not a mistake. I filed my own FOIA with SSA asking what return codes would result if someone tried to query a presidents SSN in a system like SSNVS.. SSA replied that “select national leaders” had additional security on their accounts and that they could not be accessed from SSA’s public facing systems. Indeed, when the President tried to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, he couldn’t do it online for just this reason.This answer is long, but the story is longer.

The simplest way to create a pdf file is to print one out (print to file). The latest operating systems and some writing/publishing programs usually have a pdf printer available. The second easiest way is to export to one using the features within the application you are using. Most programs now have this feature, so it’s a breeze. If you don’t have a program with this feature built in or your operating system didn’t come with a pdf printer, then you have to use a pdf printing program. There are a lot of programs you can download but I’m a fan of opensource and my favorite is Ghostscript. And an adware free tool that uses that engine is FreePDF Download [ http://freepdfxp.de/download_de.html ]. It installs a PDF printer in your printers list. When you print to this printer from any application, it will create a pdf from that file. If you like to buy software, then you can buy signNow (Not Acrobat Reader), which installs a PDF printer also.

Yes, it is common.In 2015, I attended a summer school at Yale, where I got to know my professor really well. At the end of the program, I asked her to write me a recommendation for my college application. At that moment, she was extremely passionate and agreed to write a good letter for me. Then, three months later when my application is due and after sending her a dozen of “reminders”, I heard only crickets. At that time I got so frustrated, thought all my hard work was gone, and I would have no college to go… BUT, after two weeks past the due date, she submitted the rec and send me an apologizing email. I am almost sure that is the letter that got me into UChicago. A long time after the event, I heard that during the time I asked her for the rec, she was promoted to be the chair of a whole department at Yale, and I could not appreciate more for the rec she wrote during that time.Professors are extremely busy, much busier than you can imagine. Writing your recommendation is probably not their first priority. In general, I believe if professors agree to write you a rec, they mean it. If the rec really doesn’t come through, it is always because the professor is just too busy or some other things that come up in their lives that are more important than writing you the letter. But guess what, there is nothing you can do other than stay appreciative because they are helping you and doing something for free.

This is excerpted from this article, 10 Facts to Know before Reading the Qur’an.Scholarly Findings on the Dating of the Qur’anic TextMohammed is also mentioned by name, and identified as a messenger of God, four times in the Qur’an… We can be reasonably sure that the Qur’an is a collection of utterances that he made in the belief that they had been revealed to him by God. The book may not preserve all the messages he claimed to have received, and he is not responsible for the arrangement in which we have them. They were collected after his death – how long after is controversial. But that he uttered all or most of them is difficult to doubt.Patricia Crone (Former Professor of Oriental Studies – University of Cambridge), (“What Do We Actually Know About Mohammed”, June 2008, Read Here)What is today called the Qur’an was originally a set of oral recitations uttered by Prophet Muhammad over 23 years in various times, places, contexts, and situations. It was common for Muhammad’s companions to memorize these recitations and write some of them down on rocks, leaves, parchment, etc. Prophet Muhammad never collected the Qur’anic recitations into a single document and never published the Qur’anic recitations as a “book.” According to Muslim sources, on the suggestion of Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, the scribe Zayd b. Thabit collected the verses of the Qur’an into a codex. Later, Zayd led the project to compile a standardized uniform version of the Qur’an Text under the supervision of Uthman (d. 656). In recent times it has become common for some Orientalist scholars to pen “conspiracy” theories – suggesting that the Qur’an was “invented” at much later date – 1 or 2 centuries after Muhammad’s lifetime (John Wansbrough); or that the Qur’an is merely a translation of some unknown, empirically inaccessible yet presumed Syrian Christian liturgical hymns (Christoph Luxenberg). As of today, both theories have been widely discredited (see here). Both the manuscript evidence and scholarly analysis on the Qur’an itself suggests that the Qur’anic Text as it exists today dates from the mid-7th century – which is generally in line with what Muslim tradition has always maintained.The earliest known manuscripts of the Uthmanic Codex of the Qur’an – the present day Qur’an – are as follows:1. University of Birmingham Manuscript – carbon dated to the period 568-645 ADFrom Wikipedia: Seventh-century Quran manuscript held by the University of Birmingham. Folio 2 recto (left) and folio 1 verso (right). From the end of Chapter 19 s:ar:القرآن الكريم/سورة مريم to the beginning of Chapter 20 s:ar:القرآن الكريم/سورة طه.2. Tubingen University Manuscript – carbon dated to the period 625-673 ADThe Tubingen manuscript with the signature Ma VI 165 belongs to a collection of more than 20 Qur’an fragments in the holdings of the University Library: The parchments are inscribed in Kufic script, one of the oldest forms of writing of Arabic. The handwriting had attracted the attention of scientists because of its characteristic style and format.3. Sanaa Manuscript – carbon dated with 68% probability to the period 624-656 and 95% probability to the period 578-669Recto side of the Stanford ’07 folio of Sanaa manuscript. The upper text covers Quran 2 (al-Baqarah).265-271.Several tests on a Koranic manuscript called “Sanaa 1” (including a new test that Mohsen Goudarzi and I will publish soon) have dated it to the first half of the 7th Century.Behman Sadeghi (Professor at Stanford University), The Origins of the Koran, BBC July 2015 Online)Scholarly analyses of the Qur’an and the Hadith literature (circulating and compiled 200-300 years after Muhammad’s death) show that the Qur’anic Text dates from the mid-7th century – in general agreement with Muslim sources and tradition. If the Qur’an dates from a later period, then one would expect to see considerable overlap in content between the Qur’an and the Hadith literature that originated in these 300 years. There are substantial differences between the content of the Qur’an and the Hadith as demonstrated by Fred Donner. For example, the Hadith literature is full of references to the political authority of the Caliphs while the Qur’an has nothing to say about political leadership:A much more natural way to explain the Qur’an’s virtual silence on the question of political leadership is to assume that the Qur’anic Text, as we now have it, antedates the political concerns enshrined so prominently in the hadith literature. This is what we might expect if the Qur’an text is the product of the time of Muhammad and his immediate followers.”Fred Donner (Professor of Near Eastern History – University of Chicago), (Narratives of Islamic Origins, 46)The Hadith literature is full of anachronisms – referring to events that happened after Muhammad lived and operated. Meanwhile, the Qur’an shows no signs of anachronisms and never refers to events that took place after Muhammad’s lifetime.In the Qur’an, on the other hand, we find not a single reference to events, personalities, groups, or issues that clearly belong to periods after the time of Muhammad – ‘Abbasids, Umayyads, Zubayrids, ‘Alids, the dispute over free will, the dispute over tax revenues and conversion, tribal rivalries, conquests, etc. This suggests that the Qur’an, as it now exists, was already a “closed” body of text by the time of the First Civil War (34-41/656-661), at the latest.Fred Donner (Professor of Near Eastern History – University of Chicago), (Narratives of Islamic Origins, 49)The evidence reviewed above, which is fairly straightforward, seems to point clearly to a relatively early date for the crystallization of the Qur’an text, and implies that this event must have been completed before the First Civil War (34-41/656-661). Moreover, certain elements in the Qur’an’s vocabulary (particularly its use of fulk), and some other features (such as its attitude toward ritual) suggest that it crystallized not in the Fertile Crescent, but in the Hijaz… It does seem clear that the Qur’an text, as we now have it, must be an artifact of the earliest historical phase of the community of Believers, and so can be used with some confidence to understand the values and beliefs of that community.Fred Donner (Professor of Near Eastern History – University of Chicago), (Narratives of Islamic Origins, 61)The examples given above appear to me sufficient to warrant the view that the compilation and redaction of the Qur’an under ‘Uthman (unanimously supported by tradition) is, if not proven, then at least extremely possible…Even if the Qur’an was not compiled under ‘Uthman (d. 656), then the compilation must have taken place no more than a few decades later. In any case, as von Bothmer has shown, we possess the fragments of a Quranic manuscript from Sanaa that dates back to the second half of the first century AH and contains the ‘Uthmanic text, without any variants as far as we know, and even includes the first and last surahs, typically absent from non-‘Uthmanic codices.Gregor Schoeler (Former Professor and Chair of Islamic Studies at the University of Basel), (“The Codification of the Qur’an,” in Angelika Neuwirth and Gerard Bowering (ed.), The Qur’an in Context, 797-794: 792)
