Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

NATIONAL ID HEADED FOR YOUR WALLET, PURSE
Homeland Security to require digital features in driver's license


Just as you were wrapping your mind around the idea that under Obamacare and the accompanying changes in the health-care system, your medical records will be floating around in some online repository, available to far too many people, you’re being told you’ll soon have a National Identity Card and a Western Hemisphere-compliant travel document whether you want it or not, if you plan to drive in the United States.

The federal government says it soon will be enforcing its demands that state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards comply with Department of Homeland Security standards.

DHS announced just before Christmas a final schedule for the full enforcement of the REAL ID Act of 2005.

That was set for a phased implementation beginning in January 2014 and full-scale enforcement planned no later than May 2017, at which time the federal government will no longer accept state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards that do not meet the minimum security standards set by DHS.

For many Americans, the full implementation of the REAL ID act is certain to trigger unfortunate memories of World War II and the modus operandi of fascist, totalitarian states, where travelers and ordinary citizens on the street are stopped by authorities and demanded, “Your papers, please!”

In the U.S., the justification for the REAL ID Act of 2005 was the concern for enhanced travel security after the 9/11 Commission documented several of the 9/11 terrorists had valid state-issued driver’s licenses and were able to freely board airplanes even though they were terrorists who had entered the U.S. illegally.

Among the DHS requirements for a state-issued driver’s license to be DHS-compliant will be the presentation by the applicant of a valid birth certificate, verification of the applicant’s Social Security Number or documentation the person is not eligible for Social Security, and proof the applicant is either a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted to the U.S. as a permanent or temporary resident.

Further, driver’s license and IDs issued by the states will have to meet stringent requirements as set by the federal government.

To qualify as DHS-compliant, state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards must have built-in security features to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, and duplication of the documents for a fraudulent purpose.

They also must have features that establish the individual’s identity, including but not limited to full facial digital photographs, plus machine readable coded information in the form of a bar code that captures the key printed information on the card, such as name of the applicant, address, gender, unique driver’s license or card-identification number, state of issuance, date of application, and date of expiration.

Such state-issued enhanced drivers licenses, or EDLs, must be issued in state facilities in which all employees undergo background checks, including federal and state criminal record searches, as well as with technology that permit the state-issued cards to comply fully with travel rules issued under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, or WHTI, such that the EDLs meet valid passport minimums for travel within the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as well as with Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.

With this announcement, DHS is putting state governments on notice that by May 2017, states not complying with REAL ID requirements will find that their state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards will not be considered valid by the federal government, such that individuals with non-compliant identification may be prohibited from passing through Transportation Security Administration security to travel on airlines on trains within the United States or internationally.

“States have made considerable progress in meeting the need identified by the 9/11 Commission to make driver’s licenses and other identification more secure,” said David Heyman, DHS assistant secretary for policy. “DHS will continue to support their efforts to enhance the security in an achievable way that will make all of our communities safer.”

In the agency’s Dec. 20 announcement, DHS commended the 21 states that already meet the act’s minimum standards for their leadership in improving security for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards: Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

DHS also announced extensions for 20 states and territories that have provided information demonstrating that they are on the pathway toward achieving full compliance, including Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Guam, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Virginia.

DHS made clear 75 percent of all U.S. drivers currently hold licenses from state jurisdictions deemed to meet the REAL ID standards, or from states that have received extensions.

As of Dec. 20, 2013, DHS listed the following states/territories as not yet REAL ID compliant: Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Marianas, Oklahoma, and Washington State.

DHS said TSA will continue to accept driver’s licenses and state-issued identification cards from all jurisdictions until at least 2016, meaning that enforcement for boarding aircraft will not begin until then.

Basically, any interaction with the federal government. No travel, no medical benefits, etc when a federally-recognized id is required.

Cellphones and government ID cards are set to be the new credit cards

How often, during the course of a day, do you reach for your wallet to pay for something - a meal, weekly groceries, gifts or just a coffee? And the mode of payment continues to evolve based on customer convenience and security. From physically handing over cash and cheques, to payment cards and online payments, the world is fast moving towards next-generation payment technologies, where perhaps, the most likely outcome would be - consolidating all these different payment methods into a single device. The mobile phone is ideal for this purpose because customers have indicated that it is the one item they “do not leave home without!”
 
Recent research by Gartner estimates that by 2015, there will be 384 million mobile payment users across the world, up from about 212 million in 2012. Correspondingly, global mobile payment transactions are also expected to grow hugely in value to touch US $472,805 million by 2015.
 
So what are the next-generation mobile payment technologies that will drive this growth in 2014 and beyond and why? With various service providers having launched their Mobile Point of Sale device (mPOS) offering, customers can soon look forward to documenting their transactions via a smartphone or tablet, at the point of delivery, instead of a traditional checkout register. The mobile card readers plug into a mobile device’s audio jack to enable acceptance of credit cards and issuance of electronic receipts, effectively turning the smartphone, or mobile device, into a POS terminal. Small business owners will probably welcome this move as it saves investment in physical cash registers and expensive traditional POS devices, and gives them the flexibility of enabling transactions anywhere as opposed to a fixed point of sale.
 
How rapidly mobile payment technology takes off, will ultimately depend on the added value it brings to different participants. Driven by the ease and security of payments, the electronic wallet, which stores card information for online and in-store shopping is becoming increasingly popular. Google wallet for example uses Near Field Communications (NFC) and cloud technology to allow people to make fast and secure payments at any NFC point of sale like Mastercard PayPass and Visa payWave, or through a ‘Google Wallet buy” button for online payments.

As consumers become increasingly dependent on their mobile phones, ‘connected shoppers’ will surely welcome applications like Apple’s Passbook, Google wallet and Samsung Wallet that assist the integration and management of their multiple cards, tickets, certificates, loyalty cards and gift coupons, to automatically benefit from offers and promotions at their favourite stores.  Amid the rise in mobile and contactless payment technologies, the smart chip continues to hold its own because it can support authentication functionality and enhance payment security.  This is specially so in the UAE where, the country’s successful efforts to position itself as an international tourist destination and global business hub, within easy reach of approximately 2 billion people, has proven to be an attractive proposition for payment processing companies.
 
In 2013, in contrast to low-key global growth, credit card transaction volumes in the UAE went up by 15 percent, while debit card transactions grew by 22 percent. The UAE also has great potential for significant increase in card usage, because only 26 percent of all transactions are via payment cards - well below the global average where cashless transactions account for over 65 percent of spend volumes. The market is also seeing the emergence of regional payment schemes that are EMV compliant and customised to the specific needs of the local customer – eliminating the “one size fits all” moniker of global schemes.
 
Building on these developments, one of the strongest emerging trends in 2014 and beyond, could be government-backed ID cards that incorporate all individual customer data and enable a host of financial transactions, including payments. Such cards will quickly find a positive response in the market for several reasons. First, they have a high credibility factor due to the nature of the document.  Second, in addition to the mass market, they target the under-served segments - the migrant workers - through integration with the WPS.  Finally, consumers will use these as a means of identification, offering them the convenience of having a single device that meets multiple needs with ease of use.
 
Very soon we may see the emergence of such a payment device that could become a dominant tool for consumers.
