New chip on credit card

Credit card with the chip

The new chip card is called EMV, which actually stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa.
One of the very important byproducts of that is that the chip itself is an encrypted chip that’s very secure, the chip contains all of the information from the card--it keeps the current balance and all of the parameter settings and details about the consumer.
The magstripe that’s on the back of most of our plastics, the chip offers an additional layer of security in addition to the normal security that comes with a payment card. The difference is, when you use a magstripe card, you just swipe it down and it authorizes. With the chip card, you actually insert the card into the machine, it clamps down on the chip and reads the chip, and then it does the authorization.

This chip prevents the type of fraud called counterfeit fraud.
That’s where I get your number, manufacture a fake card, and when I come into the store, I’ve got a card with my name on it that matches my ID but really it’s swiping your information. It looks like I’m me but I’m actually counterfeiting myself as you.
The chip eliminates that because even if I steal all of your information, I cannot create a chip.
There’s a lot of technology behind that, but really what it does is allows for an encrypted image of the consumer to be protected against counterfeiting.
So in short on a stolen card, the name and other information on the magnetic strip would be different from the information on the chip, so this way the fraud can be prevented.

Love to pray

Mother Teresa on Prayer

 

Love  to  pray, gradually increase the number of times you pray during

the day. It is a matter of practice, as you spend more time praying,

you will pray better.

Prayer  enlarges  the  heart  until  it's  capable  of  containing God's  gift of  himself . Ask  and  seek  and  your  heart  will  grow  big  enough  to receive  Him  and  keep  Him  as  your  own.  Once  we  have  met  the  living  God , and  we  have  been  attracted  by  His  goodness, we find  ourselves  increasingly  drawn  into  prayer.

What  before  was  a  simple  duty, now  becomes  a  delight.

Mother Teresa was convinced that prayer was something simple, easily accessible, life giving and that prayer transformed us in a way, as no amount of effort at self improvement ever could.

 

Mother Teresa would spend time simply being present with the poor

Mother  Teresa's  own  desire to  live with  the  poor, led her  to  dwell  in  their  midst  to 

share  their  poverty . 

Beyond  whatever  material  assistance she  gave  to  the  poor , she  made  it  a  point 

to , first  of  all , sit with  them, listen to  them  and  comfort  them.

She  would  spend  time  simply being  present  with  the  poor, face to  face  and  heart  to  heart with those  who  had  no  one -  knowing that  no  amount  of  blankets  or  bricks  could  warm the  human heart, nor any government  program  could give  the  gift of  belonging

Hold your wife's hand in the mall, because if you let go,

Hold your wife's hand in the mall, because if you let go, then she will do shopping.

Benefits of holding hands:
1) Looks romantic.
2) Sends a signal to other men, that she is with someone.
3) Economic benefit, she shops less.
