If anyone finds differently, please leave a note in the comments section. Google has virtually no useful information available about an entity called Centralized Credit Check Systems. The California Utility Exchange collects customer payment data from dozens of local utilities in the state, and also is operated by Equifax ( Equifax Information Services LLC). Verizon is one of many telecom providers that use the NYDE (and recall that AT&T was the founder of NCTUE). The NYDE is operated by Equifax Credit Information Services Inc. (yes, that Equifax). Who are the NCTUE’s members? If you call the 800-number that NCTUE makes available to get a free copy of your NCTUE credit report, the option for “more information” about the organization says there are four “exchanges” that feed into the NCTUE’s system: the NCTUE itself something called “ Centralized Credit Check Systems“ the New York Data Exchange and the California Utility Exchange.Īccording to a partner solutions page at Verizon, the New York Data Exchange is a not-for-profit entity created in 1996 that provides participating exchange carriers with access to local telecommunications service arrears (accounts that are unpaid) and final account information on residential end user accounts. The NCTUE is a consumer reporting agency founded by AT&T in 1997 that maintains data such as payment and account history, reported by telecommunication, pay TV and utility service providers that are members of NCTUE. “It’s mainly phone carriers, but utilities, power, water, cable, any of those, they’re all starting to use this more.” ![]() “We’re finding that a lot of phone carriers - even some of the larger ones - are relying on NCTUE for credit checks,” Kerskie said. Rather, the mobile providers were making credit queries with the National Consumer Telecommunications and Utilities Exchange (NCTUE), or. The freeze process is designed so that a creditor should not be able to see your credit file unless you unfreeze the account. A credit freeze blocks potential creditors from being able to view or “pull” your credit file, making it far more difficult for identity thieves to apply for new lines of credit in your name.īut Kerskie’s investigation revealed that the mobile phone merchants weren’t asking any of the four credit bureaus mentioned above. Kerskie said she’s had multiple victims in her area recently complain of having cell phone accounts opened in their names even though they had already frozen their credit files at the big three credit bureaus - Equifax, Experian and Trans Union (as well as distant fourth bureau Innovis). A big part of her job is helping local residents respond to identity theft and fraud complaints. Here’s a look at what may be going on, and how you can protect yourself.Ĭarrie Kerskie is director of the Identity Fraud Institute at Hodges University in Naples. One gripe I heard from several presenters was that identity thieves increasingly are finding ways to open new mobile phone accounts in the names of people who have already frozen their credit files with the big-three credit bureaus. The forum was held in Florida, one of the major epicenters for identity fraud complaints in United States. ![]() I spent a few days last week speaking at and attending a conference on responding to identity theft.

![]() You can use the display to get an at-a-glance view of your favourite sounds (with the Heart icon) and riffle the deck using Genre and Categories. Using Keylab’s big, central encoder to scroll through the presets is another luxury. I found it best to use the expanded Editor view of the virtual synths to get a better understanding of what I was messing with. You don’t have the neat array of corresponding nine pots and sliders but Keylab’s controls dive into the most useful parameters of that instrument. ![]() If you own any or all of the V Collection instruments then Keylab Essential will, of course, happily converse with those. You are guaranteed to go places you wouldn’t normally go if you’re forced to mouse-click and adjust every time. The DX7 synth, for example, will have Operator levels and Algorithm adjustments the Piano instrument has a bunch of keyboard-relevant adjustments to make while Prophet VS has joystick adjustments and Wave Osc levels… you get the idea.īeing able to audition presets and mess with them without recourse to your computer or a mouse is a big deal. The parameters allocated to the row of faders depend on the synth engine. The top row of pots offer broadbrush control of the tone and the effects levels. The nine pots and nine faders of the controller match the pots and faders in the Controls section of Analog Lab. ![]() After that download and a restart, Keylab Essential and Analog Lab instantly shook hands, with everything nicely mapped. I discovered I’d not updated Analog Lab in a year. I eagerly connected it to my laptop using the supplied USB cable, fully expecting every Analog Lab virtual fader and pot to be automatically mapped to the controller, and feeling just a bit miffed when they weren’t! So Keylab Essential should really be up my alley. I often use Analog Lab when playing live and V Collection accounts for at least half of my synth sounds when I’m in the studio. Novation has released FLkey for the ‘fruity’ crew… and guess what, Arturia’s Keylab ranges are awesome if you rely on Analog Lab and its V Collection of instruments. Push is obviously an Ableton controller with deep Live integration. For example, if you spend most of your time in a Native Instruments sonic environment, you’d be mad not to look at the NI Komplete Kontrol. Which is why we see platform-focussed controller keyboards. So we quite reasonably expect the manufacturer to do the hard work for us and map all those pesky MIDI controller messages so we don’t have to. In other words, no one has that sort of patience, not even during covid. In fact, in the early days of controller keyboards, that’s kinda what we were expected to do… most of those people are now bald. So the truth is, if you had all the time in the world, you could program just about any controller keyboard on the market to perfectly fit your workflow. Just about everyone uses the HUI language for other control messages (something Mackie invented 20-plus years ago). ![]() They all spit out MIDI data to control (in most cases) your computer running a DAW or soft synth (MIDI is a 40-ish year-old invention). All keyboard controllers have more in common than they do differences. MIDI & HUIįor starters, let’s acknowledge the obvious. Let’s take a look at Arturia’s Mk3 of Keylab Essential and see if it’s for you. What’s more, some DAW integration would be handy - transport control, at the very least. You probably also want your controller to help you audition sounds, quickly mess with presets, and make sonic decisions quicker and easier than with a keyboard and mouse. In fact, a lighter touch that’s just as good for belting out lead lines, chords or drum parts, is more useful. If, on the other hand, you’re not worried about live performance, then an expensive keybed isn’t such a big deal. For example, many who use Mainstage will use an eight-slider controller for pushing up the right sound at the appropriate time (Korg’s NanoKontrol seems to be the unit du jour). I’m glad you asked, because it’s something I’ve been giving some thought to while testing the new Keylab Essential Mk3 - Arturia’s latest lightweight controller.įirstly, will you be mainly using it in the studio or on stage? If it’s a performance keyboard then you’re likely to want the best keybed you can afford (probably weighted if you’re a piano player) and enough pots and sliders to deal with whatever sound source you use. What are the key factors behind your choice of a controller keyboard? Good question. The present reality for Starbucks, when you factor work-at-home and COVID’s demolition of day-to-day routines, is the company’s visit has evolved from the stop on the way to a destination to being the destination worth leaving home for, CEO Kevin Johnson said.Īnd so group orders are up (average ticket rose 19 percent in Q1), and so is demand for convenience-something Starbucks didn’t exactly skirt before, but surely wasn’t paragraph 1 of its mission statement. “So we’ve got considerable work in this area to unlock the full potential for drive thru.” ![]() “And those are things like drive-thru only stores that have no seating, very small units, the side-by-side drive-thru lanes that we are bringing on to the footprint,” Brewer said during a conference call. Yet more striking in Starbucks’ case given its history as a gathering concept as much as one that serves coffee. Starbucks’ outgoing chief operations officer Roz Brewer, set to leave and become Walgreens CEO at the end of February, teased earlier in the week the “final piece” of the company’s efforts to widen accessibility in preparation for a post-coronavirus world.īrewer called it “the future drive-thru concept,” which appears similar to other models shared by the sector’s largest players in recent months, from McDonalds to Burger King to KFC. ![]() Yet here’s an example of how customer experience has veered under a COVID-19 umbrella. ![]() Starbucks’ “third-place” DNA it built a coffee empire on isn’t vanishing. ![]() Page layout and word processing applications give you plenty of tools, and templates built into iTunes let you print playlist data and images to labels, but a dedicated label-making program can offer the best of both worlds. This media is more expensive than ordinary discs, but LightScribe drives will burn data normally to traditional discs as well. Making labels with LightScribe-capable drives requires special LightScribe-compatible discs. Depending on the complexity of your label’s design, etching can take as long as half an hour, but simpler designs should take just a few minutes.

![]() She said that might also send a strong signal to minors who might create images of other kids impulsively. The best fix, Franks said, would come from a federal law that can provide consistent protections nationwide and penalize dubious organizations profiting from products and apps that easily allow anyone to make deepfakes. But those protections don't extend to adults who might find themselves in a similar scenario, she said. If officials move to prosecute the incident in New Jersey, current state law prohibiting the sexual exploitation of minors might already apply, said Mary Anne Franks, a law professor at George Washington University who leads Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, an organization aiming to combat online abuses. When reached for comment, the Issaquah School District said it could not discuss the specifics because of the investigation, but said any form of bullying, harassment, or mistreatment among students is "entirely unacceptable." Paula Schwan, the chief of the Issaquah Police Department, said they have obtained multiple search warrants and noted the information they have might be "subject to change" as the probe continues. "Intimate imagery of real individuals"ĭetails haven't emerged about the incident in Washington state, which happened in October and is under investigation by police. Westfield police and the Union County Prosecutor's office, who were both notified, did not reply to requests for comment. The school hasn't confirmed any disciplinary actions, citing confidentiality on matters involving students. Parents also got an email from the principal, warning of the dangers of artificial intelligence and saying the complaints from students had sparked an investigation, CBS New York reported. McGann did not provide details on how the AI-generated images were spread, but Mani, the mother of one of the girls, said she received a call from the school informing her nude pictures were created using the faces of some female students and then circulated among a group of friends on the social media app Snapchat. ![]() 20, Westfield High School spokesperson Mary Ann McGann said in a statement. The Westfield event took place this summer and was brought to the attention of the high school on Oct. The bill has languished for a few months, but there's a good chance it might pass, she said, especially with the spotlight that's been put on the issue because of Westfield. "We just had a feeling that an incident was going to happen," Corrado said. Kristin Corrado, a Republican who introduced the legislation earlier this year, said she decided to get involved after reading an article about people trying to evade revenge porn laws by using their former partner's image to generate deepfake porn. Some states, like California and Illinois, have only given victims the ability to sue perpetrators for damages in civil court, which New York and Minnesota also allow.Ī few other states are considering their own legislation, including New Jersey, where a bill is currently in the works to ban deepfake porn and impose penalties - either jail time, a fine or both - on those who spread it. Texas, Minnesota and New York passed legislation this year criminalizing nonconsensual deepfake porn, joining Virginia, Georgia and Hawaii who already had laws on the books. ![]() ![]() Several states have passed their own laws over the years to try to combat the problem, but they vary in scope. Mani is the parent of a 14-year-old New Jersey student victimized by an AI-generated deepfake image. Dorota Mani sits for an interview in her office in Jersey City, N.J. I would call it 'AI pandemic' at this point," Mani told CBS New York last month. In June, the FBI warned it was continuing to receive reports from victims, both minors and adults, whose photos or videos were used to create explicit content that was shared online. Researchers have been sounding the alarm this year on the explosion of AI-generated child sexual abuse material using depictions of real victims or virtual characters. The problem with deepfakes isn't new, but experts say it's getting worse as the technology to produce it becomes more available and easier to use. ![]() You hereby indemnify to the fullest extent Primebook from and against any and all liabilities, costs, demands, causes of action, damages, and expenses arising out of or in any way related to your breach of any of the provisions of these terms.
