|A developer's guide to complying with PCI DSS 3.2 Requirement 6
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a highly prescriptive technical standard, which is aimed at the protection of debit and credit card details, which is referred to within the payments industry as cardholder data. The objective of the standard is to prevent payment card fraud, by securing cardholder data within organizations that either accept card payments, or are involved in the handling of cardholder data. PCI DSS consists of 12 sections of requirements, and usually responsibility for compliance rests with IT infrastructure support. PCI DSS requirement 6 alone breaks down into 28 individual requirements, and sits squarely with software developers who are involved in the development of applications that process, store, and transmit cardholder data. This article aims to focus on all aspects of requirement 6. PCI compliance heavily revolves around IT services. IT focused compliance managers that are tasked with achieving compliance within organizations, often lack the required software developer knowledge and experience to help assure that the application development meets the arduous requirements of PCI DSS. Follow along to read a developer's perspective to complying with PCI DSS requirements.

You will then be able to extend this application with more complex rules or build your own application very easily.

Some people love data and will want to spend weeks dissecting and digesting every possible number and comparison available. However, this probably isn't the most useful approach to improving your culture (we've written about this here). There is actually a lot you can do by taking a very simple approach to your results and moving straight into discussions and idea generation for action. Thus, here we present the five minute guide to Culture Amp results using our Insight report. Most companies choose some overall company level focus points but it can also be useful for Managers and their teams to find one or two unique things to work on.
Here's a quick guide for Managers on working with results.
This manager leads a group with 7 employees and they have achieved an 86% response rate. This is a good response rate and exceeds our global average of around 80%. For most purposes you can relax once you hit around 75%. For a more detailed guide take a look at our post here. It's good not to get too fixated on response rates - you still have legitimate respondents - and you can always tell people you can only act on the feedback you receive. Once people see you acting on the feedback you'll often find your response rates going up naturally over time. Remember, you have 100% of the people who took the time to respond so the most important thing is to consider, discuss and act on their feedback.
Engagement Score (or other Key Factor)
We often use the average score from a few key questions to create a combined outcome factor such as Engagement here. This factor then represents the key things you want to improve in your company and gives you an outcome measure with better measurement characteristics. You can read more about Engagement here. The scores themselves are percentage favorable scores - they represent the percentage of people who rated the questions using either of the top two rating options. You can read about this here. The 49% Engagement score here is lower than the overall company score (down 23 percentage points).
If you're looking at overall company results you might also have other surveys, or a benchmark score here to compare yourself against but, it is best to focus on your own future trend - the trend is your friend.
Other Factors
The Other Factors are usually combinations of questions (just like Key Factor above) that represent aspects of the workplace that may influence or impact your Key Factor score. For example we'd expect things such as Leadership and Management to have an impact on Engagement levels amongst employees. A manager can see how positive, neutral or negative their employees feel about the broad areas by hovering on each factor, and the green (or red) comparisons on the right show how this compares with the company overall.
Clicking the heading will sort any of the columns and clicking on any factor will take you through to see the individual questions that contribute to the factor. At the company level you might also have benchmark, or prior survey comparisons to view.
Where's the biggest impact?
We generally use a Key Factor, such as Engagement, as our primary indicator in our ongoing quest to improve our culture (or whatever else we want to improve). However, Key Factors such as Engagement tend to measure things that are the outcomes of many inputs and are hard to directly impact - it is difficult to just make people want to stay at your company for example. This is where measuring impact comes into play to see which non-outcome questions had the biggest impact on Engagement scores across all of the individuals in your organization. The report uses statistical algorithms to arrive at these results and you can read more about this here.
What Next?
The key thing is to just pick one or two of the top five Impact questions as your focii for improvement. Don't worry if it is the top question or the fifth one (you can even look a little further down the list via clicking All Rated Questions). Pick questions you feel you might be able to act on, or ask your team to help you pick them. You might also pick one high scoring question as a strength and a low scoring item as an opportunity. Now, even though these non-outcome questions are more actionable than outcome questions it isn't always 100% clear what you should do.
Remember, a survey is just a tool to help guide your focus and discussions with employees and track your progress. Speak with your team or department about the results and the Impact questions and together try to understand how you might experiment and test ideas for improving things.
The Impact just helps you and your team narrow your focus and concentrate on something that is likely to improve things for everyone (not just a few louder voices). Agile culture practices don't thrive on an analytic search for the perfect interpretation of your results. Agile cultures thrive on using available data to quickly develop ideas and experiments, fail fast when you have to, and to get on with it.
Postscript on Comments
As a manager you may or may not have access to comments. Access to comments is sometimes restricted because they can often be identifiable and in many cases it is best to view them after you have absorbed your quantitative results. Check with your HR administrator as to what you have been given access to. Comments can provide some interesting color and some further insight into specific issues that may be raised by your survey. However, comments should be viewed as secondary to the quantitative results for a number of reasons.
- Comments are often from a smaller number of respondents so they may not be representative of everyone. The whole point of a survey is to allow each employee an equal say or vote so focusing on comments from a few individuals can defeat this whole purpose.
- Some people may write most of the comments across multiple questions and they may write the most. The noisiest cog is again getting the most attention.
- People are by their nature sensitive to negative feedback so we will often focus on negative comments and ignore both the survey results and other comments.
Here's an example most of us can probably relate to:
The best thing to do with comments is leave them until you've absorbed your results and then to use comments to understand some more detail. If you have a low score on something check the comments for those that might help you understand and the same for things you might have higher scores on. Comments can form part of your results conversations where you ask employees about their thoughts but remember they are more individual so it is best to paraphrase a few that are constructive and in line with the overall results. This can emphasize that it is the overall results that will shape the ongoing conversation and action and that constructive comments are going to get the most voice.

Structure of a 3D Print
The process of creating a 3D model usually consists of printing 4 sections: bottom layer, outer walls, infill and top layer. Each section has its purpose in supporting the properties of the model.
Outer walls shape the object and surround the infill which can either fill the empty space inside the model almost entirely or in part. Walls and infill make the model solid and it is increased by the amount of top and bottom layers. Top and bottom layers close the whole structure of your print and highly influence the outcome of 3D printing, both in terms of its durability and final look.
Top Layers Settings
Depending on the further purpose of the object you can adjust the infill settings in Z-SUITE. The software will automatically set the optimal amount of top and bottom layers so as to ensure the proper quality of the model. Top and bottom surface of your model will be properly closed thanks to the default option.
Inadequate Amount of Top Layers
However, increasing or decreasing the number of top and bottom layers is still possible so that you can save time and material. But by setting a low number of top and bottom layers you risk experiencing the "pillowing effect" or other imperfections which can occur on models with flat surfaces and low infill. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the settings in Z-SUITE because the software prevents quality defects by choosing the best amount of top and bottom layers.
Models Which Do Not Require Many Top Layers
On the other hand, for quick test prints which won't be used for specific purposes and projects which don't have many flat surfaces, you can set even fewer top and bottom layers than it is recommended. This will significantly increase the print speed and save the material.

Divorce has a long and well-deserved reputation for being one of the most difficult
experiences an adult will ever go through. That being said, anything that
can be done to facilitate and promote a more amicable divorce process
should be encouraged.
Whether you expect a smooth divorce, or if you expect a
contested divorce, either way, your divorce attorney should be adept at using creative legal
strategies that will protect your interests while striving towards peaceful
Why choose Winghaven Law, LLC?
While few divorces have absolutely no disagreements, these disputes don't
necessarily have to be resolved in court. An uncontested divorce is essentially
a divorce where the spouses can reach an agreement as to the terms of
their divorce without engaging in a protracted court battle.
Uncontested divorces are better because they move swiftly through the courts
and are less expensive than their contested counterparts. Historically,
uncontested divorces are much easier on any children involved, and the
spouses are more inclined to adhere to the terms of the divorce because
such agreements were made by them and not enforced by a judge.
At Winghaven Law, LLC, we recommend that every couple seeking a divorce
work out a divorce settlement between their respective attorneys without
going to court. If spouses are unable to resolve disputes on their own,
we recommend mediation, providing
domestic violence is not a factor.
Mediation saves time and money and bypasses a lengthy and expensive court
battle with your soon-to-be ex. More importantly, an uncontested divorce
greatly reduces stress and hostility, thereby allowing both parties to
move on to the next chapter in their life sooner than later.
Despite the fact that uncontested divorce is ideal, we don't live in
a perfect world. High financial stakes and emotional child custody battles
are marks of contested divorces, and sometimes they cannot be avoided.
Regardless if you have a contested or an uncontested divorce, you can
turn to our trusted O'Fallon divorce attorneys for compassionate,
yet tenacious legal representation.

(See Chapter 3)
He made his way along the dark hallway, guided by a wedge of lamplight that emerged from a half-opened door nearby to fall across the carpet and climb the wall on the opposite side. He could hear the murmur of voices, but couldn't yet make out any words. The strip of light wavered and trembled a couple of times, forcing him to pause and blink until his eyes cleared.
Ed inched closer to the door, grateful for the plush carpet that masked whatever sound his steps might have made. His feet didn't feel entirely steady right now, for some reason. He pressed his shoulder to the wall and leaned slowly forward, peering around the door jamb with one cautious eye, several strands of blond hair straying off his forehead to dangle at the edge of his vision. He saw Madam Chris and the colonel immediately, bending with their backs to him, over a thick ledger illuminated by two large lamps on either corner of a wide desk. Behind it ranged almost an entire wall of shelves filled with books.
"So," Mustang mused quietly, "we don't quite have enough."

Haier W867: Smartphone with large display
More and more brands that offer competitive smartphones at really affordable prices, a combination that has ensured success with the general public. Android is a versatile platform that gives enough freedom to the manufacturers. Haier is associated with the manufacture of appliances and televisions, and this brand has a range of smartphones as well, which has just been extended with the new Haier W867. The larger screens are successful at the present time, and the company is committed to a broad panel with this model. It also highlights its dual SIM card slot that allows us to carry two phone lines in the same terminal. You can see all the details of Haier W867 below.
The terminal has a simple, elegant design with no superfluous elements, with rounded corners to make it more comfortable to hold in hand. Around the chassis has a silvery frame which inevitably reminds Samsung Galaxy. As we said, it is a large device and its weight is 190 grams, which is not too light, but not bad for a device these features. The smartphone will go on sale in white, black or yellow, all with a gloss finish.
We turn to the most interesting part of the whole, the screen. Haier have opted for the amplitude with IPS panel of no less than 5.5 inches display, so Haier W867 is within the category known as phablets. Its wingspan can hamper driving with one hand and carry in your pocket comfortably. However the large screens provide a more satisfying multimedia experience, plus it fits more content, for example, when reading a story on a website it can giev you the best expirience. In addition, the panel has 16:9 widescreen perfect for watching videos leveraging its entire surface. The screen has qHD resolution, which is 960 x 540 pixels, so that the density stays at 200 dots per inch. It is not a very high figure but it is sufficient for this type of terminal.
The Haier W867 has 3G and WiFi mobile hotspot, so you can access the Internet from anywhere without problems. It also has a wireless port Bluetooth for sharing files or connecting accessories, antenna GPS , MicroUSB jack and headphone. As mentioned earlier, this model comes with dual SIM card slot so that, in case we have two phone lines, we won't have to go with two phones everywhere. The camera has 8 megapixel resolution and is accompanied by an LED flash, system autofocus and can record full HD video. This smartphone cost is 200 euros, a more reasonable figure as well.
Apart from the screen, the device is equipepd with Android 4.2 Jelly bean, 1.3GHz Quad Core Processor, 4GB internal storage, 1GB RAM etc.

Daniel 11:
|View as PDF
Salamualakum wa rahmat tu lahi wa barakatu. Interesting analysis of the Book of Daniel. If I may make one comment, my understanding of Daniel 2 regarding "God's Kingdom" was about the caliphate and here's why:
The gold empire as described by Daniel was Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian Empire.
The silver empire was to be Medo-Persia, which began with Cyrus the Great, who conquered Babylon in 539 B.C. This silver empire was supreme in the Near and Middle East for about two centuries.
The bronze empire was the Greco-Macedonian empire established by Alexander the Great. The bronze empire lasted for about 260 or 300 years before it was supplanted by the fourth empire.
The iron empire was the Roman empire that succeeded the Greco-Macedonian Empire. Iron connotes toughness and ruthlessness and this empire reached its widest extent under the reign of Trajan, who reigned from 98-117 C.E. and the Roman empire itself dominated for many centuries.
Everyone identifies these four empires as was just done. However, here Christians and Jews try to twist the meaning of this dream. In my study of their writings on this chapter, I have noticed that they are helpless to explain it from here. So they bring up many irrelevant and illogical complexities into the interpretation. They try to specially emphasize the ten toes of the image, instead of just following the history.
Here the interpretation of Daniel gives us some more details concerning this fifth empire. The feet of the image were part iron and clay, the Roman empire eventually split into two empires, one being stronger than the other. It split into the new western Roman Empire centered in Rome and the eastern Byzantine Empire centered in Constantinople. The new Roman Empire centered in Rome was the clay part of the feet as it decayed earlier in the 5th century but the Byzantine Empire, the iron part, remained for about 1000 years. Attempts were made to bring the two together, but they failed.
So the order is as follows
1..Gold Head: Babylonian Empire (626 BC - 539 BC)
2.Silver Chest/Arms: Medo-Persian Empire (539 BC - 330 BC)
3.Bronze Belly and Thighs: Greecian Empire (330 BC - 63 BC)
4.Iron Legs: Roman Empire (63 BC ->)
5.Iron/Clay Feet: Byzantine/Roman Empire (565 CE)
(Part 2)
Interpretation for the 10 toes (Split from Rome's fall)
The ten toes that the Christians and Jews go into so much complexity abouts interpretation is as follows. The toes represent kingdoms, Edward Bishop Elliott, in his commentary, Horae Apocalypticae suggests the following lists as examples. Edward observes that there were 10 kingdoms present in the period 486-490: But he also argues, convincingly, that the primary period intended by both Daniel 7 and Revelation 13, is about 532-33 AD... So at that time, he lists the following 10 kingdoms:
1. The Saxons, originating the English nation.
2. The Franks, originating the French nation.
3. The Alamanni, originating the German nation.
4. The Visigoths, originating the Spanish nation.
5. The Suevi, originating the Portuguese nation.
6. The Lombards, originating the Italian nation.
7. The Burgundians, originating the Swiss nation. (532 AD)
8. The Heruli, were annihilated by the little horn. (493 AD)
9. The Vandals, were annihilated by the little horn. (534 AD)
10. The Ostrogoths, were annihilated by the little horn. (538 AD)
the last three kingdoms are the horns in Daniel 7:7-8
"I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots:…" (Daniel 7:8)
"… he shall subdue three kings." (Daniel 7:24)
Finally the prophecy concludes:
"And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him." (Daniel 7:27)
This coincides with well with the incident during the prophecy made by the Prophet(saw) at the Battle of Khandaq:
A large rock was causing great difficulty in digging the trench for the pick mattock could not break it. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was informed about it, he went down into the trench and struck the stone with the pickax breaking one-third of the rock. Thereupon the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Glory be to God, the keys of Syria have been given to me. With the second blow of the pick, the Prophet (peace be upon him) hewed another one-third of the rock and said, Glory be to God, the keys of Persia have been given to me. By God, I see white castle of Madain (Ctesiphon). In the third attempt, the remaining portion of the rock was broken into pieces. The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said, Glory be to God, I have been given the keys of Yemen. By God, I can now see the gate of Sanaa. (Ibn Kathir, Vol. III, p. 194).
So the timeline is as follows:
1..Gold Head: Babylonian Empire (626 BC - 539 BC)
2.Silver Chest/Arms: Medo-Persian Empire (539 BC - 330 BC)
3.Bronze Belly and Thighs: Grecian Empire (330 BC - 63 BC)
4.Iron Legs: Roman Empire (63 BC ->)
5.Iron/Ceramic Feet: Byzantine/Roman Empire (565 CE)
6. Stone from Heaven: Islamic Caliphate (632 CE)
If you watch this link you can see the empires mentioned above fall.
bro faiz, salaam
akhee, you gonna laugh silly on this
The Book of Daniel is not found in Prophets in the T'nach and is not considered prophecy.
That answers your question.
There is no prophecy in the Book of Daniel.
Do you have a different question?
notice how the bloody missionary have desire to see "end time" prophecy in daniel, yet yahood are telling him "shut up... no prophecy in daniel"
but jesus clearly failed:
Right after Luke's Jesus mentions the desolation of Jerusalem, he instructs his disciples at that time to flee to the mountains, just as the Maccabean
revolutionaries fled to the mountains in the time of Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Then Luke says (v. 24) that Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles, until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled. What does this mean? It means that once the Romans attack Jerusalem, their time is pretty much up. When their time is up, that's when the Son of Man will come on the clouds to avenge his people. There will be portents in the heavens, after the destruction of Jerusalem, and, according to Luke, "People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken" (21:26). Note that this describes a worldwide judgment, not merely a judgment on Jerusalem (which has already taken place). The judgment upon Jerusalem is precisely what instigates the judgment upon the world. Luke's Jesus goes on:
Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
I make it clear in my chapter what this means. According to Luke, the redemption of the people of God follows immediately upon destruction of Jerusalem. When the Son of Man comes, that is the redemption of the people of God, not the judgment against them (which has already taken place). Kevin, I think, misses this. Luke's Jesus concludes the discourse, saying,
Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.
If the disciples are able to escape the suffering that will come upon Jerusalem, then they will be there to stand before the Son of Man when he comes to deliver them from the Gentiles, when the Gentiles' time has been fulfilled. This is precisely the same script we see in Daniel 11-12, as well as the same script we see in Zechariah 14, where God brings the Gentiles against Jerusalem in order to judge Jerusalem, only immediately to turn around and wipe out the Gentiles for doing so, ushering in an era of everlasting peace for Jerusalem and God's people, and the worldwide hegemony of Israel. This is precisely what we see in Luke 21.

funny thing is the man worshippers helped the killers of their god steal land after more than 1000 years of being kicked out of the land
now they want to reACTUALISE "prophecy" by going back to bits from nt and saying "this referring to the future"
these people are nut cases.

There is from many sides, a lot of imaginative proposals for both Daniel (who do not count among the prophets) and the interpretation of the book Daniel. (It's today indisputably proven beyond any doubt that the original Book of Daniel is copied, paraphrased, and certain verses authored, between 170 and 164)
But one thing is both historians and Biblical experts agreeing about:
*It has nothing with the present time, or "Jehovah's Kingdom" to do . . . . . . .*
One of the more plausible interpretations of "the prophecy" is:
• *Three kings* shall yet arise for Persia; _"Cause"_ means: to rule:
The three kings which should rule in Persia, is undoubtedly:
• 1) - _Cyrus' son *Cambyses*_
• 2) - _The deceiver *Smerdes*_
• 3) - _*Darius Hystaspes*_.
*The fourth*, who must accumulate *more wealth* than all the others, there is no doubt that it's:
• 4) - _*Xerxes*_, which was famous for its wealth
• 5) - _*Alexander the Great*_ - The mighty king "which became the absolute ruler, ruler of any extent any Persian king ever had ruled".
• And then come his kingdom's sharing between the generals and their wars.
• _*Nothern and Southern Kings:*_
• King of the south (Egypt) shall become mighty.
• 6) - _*Ptolemy*_ took Cyprus, Phoenicia, Caria, Cyrene with many islands and cities within Egypt, which made his kingdom powerful.
• But another of Alexander's princes appears in the expression "*one of his princes*" were mightier:
• 7) - Seleucus, who ruled over Syria and Macedonia and Thrace, which was three parts of Alexander's empire, and in addition had a strong domination in Egypt.
There were brought frequent wars between Egypt and Syria kings; especially was this the case with Ptolemy Philadelphus of Egypt another king, Antiochus Teos, Syria's third king.
6) - Ptolemy and 7) - now Antiochus Teos was finally agreed to make peace on terms that Antiochus Teos repudiated his wife Laodice and his two sons and married Ptolemy's daughter Berenice; consequently brought Ptolemy as his daughter to Antiochus, as he gave her a substantial dowry.
Why this has come true: But some years later joins the Confederation, and the South king's daughter takes into king of the north to provide peace;
Our Holy Islam teach us lesson of love and kind to each other. Quran is our holy and last book of religious Islam. Quran teach us to spend our life according to Allah,s orders and Muhammad (PBUH), orders. I am doing my duty to teach the Quran to my Islamic brothers. We should must teach and quran reading to understand the Islam and Allah and his Last prophet of Allah Muhammad (PBUH).ReplyDelete

It truly was a lot of fun and I hope y'all will join me again if you have a chance!!!
