text: I'm visiting a friend in LA (Pasadena to be exact) next weekend for 4 days and I'm really excited to try all the food LA has to offer. My friend plans to take me to Thai Town and Little Ethiopia and I've already decided to have sushi at Sushi Gen in Little Tokyo (please don't give me any more sushi suggestion...I've already changed my mind about 50 times! see post: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/424201). I'm pretty adventurous and would really like to try things that are unique to LA or that you feel LA does better than Boston. I know I want to try some Mexican (Boston lacks this) but my friend doesn't know where to go, any suggestions? What other cuisines/restaurants shouldn't be missed during my trip? Please keep in mind that I will only be there for 4 days and there is only so much food I can eat! Also, I would like to steer clear of fine dining restaurants and mostly hit up ethnic cuisine/LA specialities that I cannot get at home. One last request (am I pushing it?): I'm not familiar with LA so it'd be great if you could provide me with either the addresses or neighborhoods of your recommendations. Thanks in advance!

My mother found some pills in the bottom of her drawer. She can't recall what they are for. They are small, white, round pills. One side is stamped with "A 406", I believe and the other side is stamped as though it is divided into fourths. Thank you.
Unknown pill found: white, round "A 406"?

Made from cornhusks, this yellow flower will bloom year around. The wire in its stem allows you to position it however you like. It would look great on its own or in a bouquet. It would be nice in a container or simply laying on a table. This cheery flower would make a special get well, birthday or thinking of you gift.

Democrats on the House committee that deals with the federal workforce have urged the "supercommittee" on deficit reduction to reject additional cuts targeting federal employees. At the same time, the Democrats noticeably broke from President Obama's call for a civil service reform commission.
In a 28-page set of recommendations, Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform urged the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to "avoid further cuts for federal employees given the significant cuts already imposed on them."
The two largest federal labor organizations, the American Federation of Government Employees and the National Treasury Employees Union, issued statements applauding the Democrats' proposals.
The Democrats' position is in direct opposition to the savings that would be made at the expense of federal employees in the budget passed by the House, which is to say House Republicans. The situation in the House presents a stark contrast to the Senate, where, in the spirit of bipartisanship, the chairman of the committee that oversees the federal workforce, Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.), and the ranking Republican, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, are working together to produce a set of recommendations they will release soon.
In a letter to members of the joint committee, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House panel, said the recommendations "are being submitted only by Democratic Members because the Committee as a whole failed to develop proposals, hold hearings, or adopt an official Committee report with recommendations to the Joint Select Committee."
A spokesman for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said the panel's plan "was included in the House Budget, which was approved by the House of Representatives, and will be considered by the supercommittee."
That budget plan calls for saving $375 billion over 10 years by slicing 10 percent of the federal workforce; extending the current two-year federal pay freeze until 2015, including periodic within-grade raises in the freeze; requiring employees to contribute more toward their retirement plans; and reducing government subsidy for a retirement program.
The two-year pay freeze was imposed on federal workers in January; the Obama administration says it will save $60 billion over 10 years. The workforce also could take additional hits as agencies identify budget cuts of at least 5 percent, as the Office of Management and Budget has instructed. The future may hold even deeper cuts as the supercommittee looks for ways to cut trillions from the national debt.
Obama also wants federal workers to increase contributions to their pension plans by 1.2 percentage points, beginning in 2013, for a 10-year savings of $21 billion.
The Democrats on the House committee say federal employees have suffered enough.
"Further cuts to federal employee compensation, benefits, or workforce size will negatively impact recruitment and retention and substantially degrade agency performance," the report says. "The hardworking men and women in the federal workforce provide vital services to the nation, and it is critical to ensure their continued ability to provide these services in an effective and efficient manner."
The House committee Democrats had no love for the president's call for a Commission on Federal Public Service Reform that would study personnel policies and make recommendations on compensation. "It makes little sense to create and fund another Commission that would be redundant of past and current efforts to reform federal personnel policies," they said.
On another point, the Democrats urged the supercommittee to adopt the president's plan "to combine the purchasing power of all eight million Federal Employee Health Benefit (FEHB) Program enrollees to obtain lower drug prices on prescription drugs." Currently, the 200 health plans in the program negotiate independently.
Instead of calling for greater sacrifices from federal employees, the Democrats say, the president's plan to cap government reimbursement for private contractor pay should extend to all federal contractor employees and not just the top-level executives in a private firm. Currently, the government allows almost $700,000 in annual compensation reimbursement to a firm's top executives.
Plans by the Democrats and the president call for a reimbursement cap of $200,000, which is about what cabinet officers are paid. Although the Obama plan "is a good first step," the Democrats said, "the Joint Select Committee should expand the cap to all federal contractor employees since lower-level executives and non-executive employees of government contractors also receive reimbursements that exceed this level."

I am currently trying to type code that will verify the data of two column fields (FM, COSTTYP) in a pivot table. There is probably an easier way to go about it, but would like the code to identify that for each item within the "FM" field (ex. "2010/10"), there is also corresponding "Actual" data within the "COSTTYPE"field.

Flight MH370 loses Contact with Igari (Vietnam) 35,000 Feet at 121 am – headed west towards navigation point Vampi
Flight MH370 loses Contact with Igari (Vietnam) 35,000 Feet at 121 am – headed west towards navigation point Vampi
the idea girl says
keywords here are:
Igari navigation point towards Vietnam
90 miles westward from Malayasia towards Andaman Sea is called – Vampi
North east of Indonesia's Aceh province – navigational point used for planes – route N571 to the Middle EAst
Then it flew to a waypoint called Gival – south of Thai island of Phuket
last plotted heading northwest towards another navigational waypoint called – Igrex on route P628 over the Andaman Islands and towards Europe at 215 am
In a far more detailed description of the military radar plotting than has been publicly revealed, the first two sources said the last confirmed position of MH370 was at 35,000 feet about 90 miles off the east coast of Malaysia, heading towards Vietnam, near a navigational waypoint called "Igari". The time was 1:21 a.m..
The military track suggests it then turned sharply westwards, heading towards a waypoint called "Vampi", northeast of Indonesia's Aceh province and a navigational point used for planes following route N571 to the Middle East.
From there, the plot indicates the plane flew towards a waypoint called "Gival", south of the Thai island of Phuket, and was last plotted heading northwest towards another waypoint called "Igrex", on route P628 that would take it over the Andaman Islands and which carriers use to fly towards Europe.
The time was then 2:15 a.m. That is the same time given by the air force chief on Wednesday, who gave no information on that plane's possible direction.
The sources said Malaysia was requesting raw radar data from neighbours Thailand,Indonesia and India, which has a naval base in the Andaman Islands.

There are few areas of the daily driving experience that can be more aggravating than having wires hanging all over a vehicle's cabin. As more and more electronic devices become a bigger and bigger part of our lives, "integration" becomes the key to defining "comfort", "luxury", and "performance".
"Electronic Security" is a term we use to describe a category of our work focusing on vehicle security, such as radar and laser protection systems, along with lighting (interior and exterior), camera, night vision, charge maintenance, and other components that we feel add to the security of the vehicle's occupants, as well as those with whom we share the road (or driveway).
In all cases, our Electronic Security components are meant to simplify and improve your vehicle ownership experience, perhaps rectifying or modifying OE systems that might otherwise leave you desiring a higher level of refinement.
You shouldn't have to compromise the integrity of your vehicle's interior to enjoy a properly integrated electronic protection solution. There is a better way, and Ai has the solution.

'SQL server does not exsist or access denied'
The system DSN's are both sql drivers and the configuration is name pipes. Our recomended specs use TCP/IP, but when I try to change it, it craps out on me. He's opened up his firewall completely to this new box and his old box, a Win2k machine can connect using TCP/IP. This machine is in a work group.
Any suggestions on what it might be???

Innovative meeting centre in Utrecht.
Youmeet offers meeting and workshop spaces hosted by creative professionals as well as training sessions in innovative ways of working. The spaces in Youmeet provide specific environments according to five steps in the creative process.
'Speak': presenting ideas, hosting discussions;
'Create': generating ideas, hosting brainstorm sessions;
'Design': visualising concepts, laboratory for developing ideas, strategies and solutions;
'Decide': taking decisions in a concentrated setting;
'Reflect': reflecting upon ideas and strategies in an informal atmosphere.
In contrast to common practice, where all stages of the creative process are run through in a generic space, this meeting centre assigns specific, balanced environments to each step in the process. These spaces support the activities in terms of setting, atmosphere and high-end IT technology. Youmeet is a physical manifestation of the creative process.
The project is designed as an open floorplan, allowing the space to be perceived as one continuous space. Floor and ceiling form a neutral background on which objects and furniture divide the space into the zones mentioned above. Birchwood elements, incorporating storage spaces and fitted with presentation screens and sound installations create divisions between the rooms. Glass partitions ensure acoustic insulation while allowing communication, unobstructed views and plenty of daylight.
The hospitality area is subdivided by the reception desk, coffee counter and sitting area. These monoliths remain low in height as to not interfere with visual connections. While creating a homogeneous space by the use of a limited set of finishes each rooms character remains unique. The individual spaces are planned and equipped according to their specific role in the creative process according to a common theme. Sprikk designed carpets, upholstery fabrics and furniture for each space. The haptic qualities of natural materials are combined with high-end communication- and presentation technologies.

I feel Blessed More Than I know- Part 3
10 August 2013 § Leave a comment
Who am i?
This is the question that we always ask to our self. We have been looking for many years to this answer. Sometimes, we lost our direction just to find "who am i?"
Every morning we woke up, with this question without an answer. Sometimes, we shout to the Lord and ask him really loudly. We still don't get it what the answer from this.
Every hour when we start to our routine, we still feel empty. We still don't know what the answer from this big question. We start to mad to Him. We cry, we run and we lost our direction.
Then, one day, He came into our heart. Like a thief, He steal our heart with His BIG LOVE.
He just said, " I love you. You are mine!"
That's why, today, i can say, i feel more blessed more than i know. The book of my life is already written by Him. And you know what, that's SO BEAUTIFULL!
So, Whom shall i fear?
Here is my prayer song everyday, when i lost my direction:
"Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done.
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean.
A vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling.
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling.
And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours. "
For who still looking and asking "who am i?" the answer is simple, " You are the GOD son's! He love you, MORE THAN YOU KNOW!"

The present invention relates to a self-service terminal (SST), such as an automated teller machine (ATM). In particular, the invention relates to a low cost ATM.
An ATM is expensive to buy and to maintain. One of the reasons that ATMs are so expensive to buy is that they are secure devices that require high levels of:
(1) physical security (such as a safe) to store currency and other valuable media, and
(2) electronic security (such as DES Data Encryption Standard encryption and associated cryptographic devices) to ensure that a customer's PIN (personal identification number) is not compromised when conveyed between modules in the ATM or outside the ATM to an authorization center.
ATMs also require expensive user interfaces. Typical ATMs include a large display and one or more loudspeakers for presenting visual and audible information to a user. Typical ATMs also include an encrypting PIN keypad and function display keys (FDKs) to allow a user to enter selections and transaction details.
A further factor that increases the cost of an ATM is that the ATM requires highly reliable telecommunications links to enable it to communicate with a remote authorization center for authorizing transactions requested by users. Typically ATMs are either:
(1) connected to a dedicated ATM network through which transaction information is routed; or
(2) connected to a public telephone network via a modem within the ATM, so that the ATM dials a telephone number of an authorization center when a transaction requires authorization.
In addition to increasing the cost of buying an ATM, the requirement for reliable telecommunications links also increases the cost of running the ATM. The need for reliable telecommunications links also limits the possibility of locating the ATM in areas which do not have a reliable telecommunication infrastructure, or in locations that are not well-suited to a connection to a fixed-point telecommunications line, such as trains or other vehicles.
It is among the objects of one or more embodiments of the present invention to obviate or mitigate one or more of the above disadvantages or other disadvantages associated with prior art self-service terminals.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a self-service terminal characterized in that the terminal comprises: a communication port for interfacing with a user's portable electronic device and for receiving a transaction authorization therefrom; and an authorization approval facility for approving a requested transaction in the event of the transaction authorization meeting a predetermined acceptance criterion; whereby the terminal is operable to receive a requested transaction from a user's device and to fulfil the requested transaction without the terminal preparing an authorization request.
The terminal may further comprise a dispenser for dispensing items; whereby the terminal is operable to receive a requested transaction from a user's device and to dispense an item to fulfil the requested transaction without the terminal preparing an authorization request.
The dispenser may dispense physical items, such as banknotes, tickets, coupons, money orders, or such like. Alternatively or additionally, the dispenser may dispense virtual items, such as data. The data may be dispensed in electronic, optical, magnetic or such like format. The data may be in a format suitable for being executed as a program or application on the user's device, or may convey information to the user.
The terminal may further comprise a storage area for receiving an item inserted by a user; whereby the terminal is operable to receive a requested transaction from a user's device and to receive an item from a user as part of the requested transaction without the terminal preparing an authorization request. The terminal may credit funds to a user's account if the received item is a financial instrument, such as a check, money order, or such like.
The storage area may be a physical receptacle for storing banknotes, checks, or other physical items. Alternatively, the storage area may be in the form of storage media (such as a magnetic disk drive) for storing electronic items (such as data uploaded from a user's portable device to the terminal).
By virtue of this aspect of the present invention, a self-service terminal is provided that does not require any telecommunications links (such as a network connection) because the terminal does not obtain authorization from any device outside itself. The terminal does not require any user interface (screen, encrypting PIN keypad, and such like) as all information is sent from and to the portable electronic device. The terminal does not need access to any network, as the portable device obtains authorization itself. As a result, the terminal is inexpensive and can be located anywhere, provided an electronic device can establish a communication there.
The requested transaction may consist of the transaction authorization, so that only the transaction authorization is transmitted to the terminal. Alternatively, the requested transaction may comprise the transaction authorization and additional information. The additional information may be used to reduce the possibility of fraud.
The communication port may be a wireless communication port, such as an infra-red (IR) port, a radio-frequency (RF) port, or such like. An IR port may be an IrDA (infra-red data association) compliant port. An RF port may be a Bluetooth (trade mark) port, or such like. Alternatively, the port may be a physical cradle into which the user's portable device couples, so that the device docks in the port.
The user's portable device may be a cellular radiotelephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an Internet access device, or such like.
Preferably, the user's portable device includes a telecommunications link so that the portable device can dial a telephone number associated with an authorization center for authorizing a transaction. Alternatively, but much less preferred, the user's portable device may not include any telecommunications links, each transaction being pre-authorized at an authorization site that connects to an authorization center.
The dispenser may be, for example, a cash dispenser for dispensing banknotes; a ticket dispenser for dispensing tickets, coupons, or other media; or a commodity dispenser for dispensing a commodity item, such as an integrated circuit for use in a cellular phone; or such like.
The authorization approval facility may be a cryptographic device comprising a cryptographic processor, a secure memory, and an encryption/decryption algorithm. The authorization approval facility may be implemented by an encrypting keypad, so that the keypad is used to examine and authorize a requested transaction.
The predetermined acceptance criterion may include the presence of a signature and/or a certificate issued by an authorization authority, so that the authorization approval facility examines the transaction authorization to determine if a signature and/or certificate is present.
The terminal may store each transaction authorization for proving that a transaction was executed.
The terminal may be an ATM. Alternatively, the terminal may be a dispensing kiosk or a kiosk for receiving items from a user, where the items may be physical (such as tickets, coupons, or such like) or virtual (data stored in electronic, optical, magnetic, or such like format).
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a portable electronic device having a telecommunication link, characterized in that the device includes a user interface for entering a transaction, an authorization request facility for preparing an authorization request including details of the entered transaction, and a communication port for interfacing with a self-service terminal; whereby, the device is operable to transmit an authorization request to a remote authorization center, to receive a transaction authorization therefrom, and to transmit the transaction authorization to a terminal for fulfilling the prepared transaction.
The portable device may execute a transaction using the following steps:
(1) dialing the telephone number of a remote authorization center,
(2) transmitting an authorization request including an identifier and a requested transaction (which was pre-entered by the user) to the authorization center,
(3) receiving a transaction authorization (in the form of an electronic token) from the authorization center to indicate that the requested transaction has been authorized, and
(4) transmitting the transaction authorization (electronic token) to the terminal.
The ATM receives this authorization token, examines the token to ensure that it is authentic (this may involve reading a digital signature and/or a digital certificate stored in the token), stores the token in a secure memory, and dispenses the requested cash (or other item).
The identifier in step (2) includes details of the user's account, and may also include details of the portable device and/or the terminal at which the transaction is to be executed.
Each terminal may have a unique code. The code may be transmitted electronically to the portable device via the communication port.
The code may include a digital signature unique to the terminal. The code may also include time/date information relating to when the code was transmitted to the portable device. In some embodiments, the authorization center may only authorize an authorization request if the request includes a valid terminal identification, recent time/date information, and the signature associated with the identified terminal.
The authorization request facility may be operable to include details of the transaction requested and/or an expiry time and/or date for the transaction, in addition to an authorization for the transaction.
The authorization request facility may be operable to include details of a specific terminal on which the transaction may be executed. This has the advantage that users will typically only authorize a transaction when in the vicinity of a terminal, thereby avoiding the problem of a user carrying a pre-authorized transaction on his/her portable electronic device.
The authorization request facility may be operable to include details specific to the user's portable electronic device, so that only that device can be used to execute the authorized transaction. This has the advantage of avoiding or at least reducing the possibility of fraud, for example by replay attacks.
An institution may provide a user with software for installing on the user's portable device so that the telephone number of the institution's authorization center is dialed each time a transaction is to be authorized. The institution's authorization center may be operated by the institution; alternatively, the institution may have a partner agreement with the authorization center.
Each terminal may have an assigned telephone number (which may be displayed prominently on a visual display or on a label attached to the terminal) so that the portable device can obtain a transaction authorization by dialing this number. The number may be transmitted from the terminal to the portable device via the communication ports.
According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a system comprising the terminal of the first aspect of the invention in communication with the portable device of the second aspect of the invention.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention there is provided an authorization request facility for executing on a portable electronic device, the facility being operable to prepare an authorization request including details of an entered transaction for transmission to a self-service terminal.
According to a fifth aspect of the invention there is provided a public access docking terminal for a portable electronic device, the docking terminal being operable to extend the functionality of the portable terminal, and to provide services on receipt of a transaction authorization communicated from a portable electronic device to the terminal.
The docking terminal may require the portable device to be physically coupled thereto. Alternatively, the docking device may require the portable device to be in wireless communication thereto.
It will now be appreciated that the above aspects of the invention have the advantage that a terminal does not transmit a transaction for authorization: the user's portable device obtains authorization from a remote center and the terminal validates the authorization locally. This greatly reduces the cost of owning and maintaining a terminal such as an ATM, particularly as the user interface on a terminal can be very simple because a user enters a transaction on his/her own user interface (on the portable electronic device). The cost of maintaining such a terminal is also reduced because there are no telecommunications costs associated with each transaction.
These and other aspects of the present invention will be apparent from the following specific description, given by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring now to
The center 12 includes an authorization facility 16 for authorizing an authorization request, a back-office facility 18 for recording transactions and other administrative functions, and a telecommunication link 20 for receiving and transmitting authorization information. The ATMs 14 are not connected to the authorization center 12, and do not include any telecommunications facility.
The ATM 14 has a simple user interface 40 comprising a communications port 42 coupled to the processor 30, and a dispense area 44 in the form of a tray for receiving bank notes. The port 42 is a wireless IR port in the form of an IrDA-compliant module for receiving and transmitting information in infra-red format.
Referring to
As is known to those of skill in the art, the non-volatile memory 94, which may be EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), stores the control programs 96 (
As is also known to those of skill in the art, the volatile memory 92, which may be RAM (Random Access Memory), records transmission and reception control information required for radio communication, including dial information.
The microprocessor 90 of
In use, the microprocessor 90 of
The transaction program 98 provides a user of the cellphone 24 with a user interface for preparing transactions for executing on the ATM 14 and also provides an encryption/decryption facility for encrypting any transactions to be transmitted or stored. The transaction program also includes a unique identifier.
When the transaction program 98 is selected by a user of the cellphone 24, the cellphone 24 displays a series of screens in a similar way to a conventional ATM display. A typical screen 100 is shown in
Referring now to
The controller 52 uses transaction program 98 to prepare an authorization request (step 122) that includes the user's account details, the user's PIN, the unique transaction program identifier, and the prepared transaction requested (withdraw twenty pounds).
The controller 52 then encrypts the authorization request (step 124) using the encryption facility in the transaction program 98. The encryption facility uses a public key issued by the authorization center 12 (
The cellphone 24 then transmits the request (step 126) by dialing a telephone number associated with the telecommunications link 20 in the authorization center 16 (
Once the cellphone 24 has established a link with the authorization center 12, the cellphone 24 conveys the authorization request to the center 12.
On receiving the authorization request, the authorization facility 16 decrypts (step 128) the request (using the authorization center's private key) and examines (step 130) the decrypted request to determine (step 132) whether:
(1) the user's PIN matches the users claimed identity (based on the account details), and
(2) the user 110 has sufficient funds to cover the requested transaction.
If these conditions (1 and 2 above) are met, then the authorization facility prepares (step 134) a transaction authorization message.
If these conditions (1 and 2 above) are not met, then the authorization facility prepares (step 136) a transaction denied message.
The transaction authorization is a digitally signed authorization for the user 110 to withdraw twenty pounds from the account number contained in the authorization request. The transaction authorization also includes the unique transaction program identifier. The use of digital signatures to authenticate data is well known to those of skill in the art.
The telecommunications link 20 then transmits (step 138) the appropriate message (transaction authorization or transaction denied) to the cellphone 24.
If the cellphone 24 receives a transaction denied message then this is displayed to the user 10 on the display 58.
If the cellphone 24 receives a transaction authorization, then the user 110 may execute this at ATM 14.
To execute this transaction, the user 110 approaches ATM 14 and aligns the port 60 (
The user 110 transmits the received transaction authorization and the unique transaction program identifier to the ATM 14 using the IR port/communication port 60 and communications port/IRDA port 42, as illustrated by broken line 112.
On receiving the transmitted data (transaction authorization and unique identifier), the IrDA port 42 conveys the transmitted data to the cryptographic device 34 via the processor 30. The cryptographic device 34 examines the transaction authorization and decrypts the signature using the authorization center's public key to ensure that the transaction authorization meets a predetermined acceptance criterion, in this embodiment, the acceptance criterion is twofold:
(1) that the authorization has not been modified, and
(2) that the unique identifier contained in the transaction authorization matches the unique identifier transmitted with the transaction authorization.
If the transmitted data meets this acceptance criterion then the transaction is fulfilled by the ATM 14 dispensing twenty pounds to the dispense tray 40 for collection by the user 110.
The ATM 14 stores the transaction authorization in non-volatile memory (not shown) in the processor 30 (or the cryptographic device 34) for reconciliation and audit purposes. The ATM 14 also transmits confirmation of the transaction to the cellphone 24 via ports 42 and 60.
If the transaction authorization is not validated, for example because the authorization has been modified, then the processor 30 transmits a message to the cellphone 24 to inform the user 110 that the transaction cannot be fulfilled. This provides the user 110 with feedback relating to the status of the transaction.
Various modifications may be made to the above described embodiment within the scope of the invention, for example, in other embodiments, the electronic device may be a PDA, an Internet access device, or such like. In other embodiments, each electronic device may have a unique identifier that is used to stop a third party intercepting the transaction authorization from the authorization center and executing the transaction using a different electronic device to that used by the user. In other embodiments, different authorization and security techniques (for example, different encryption techniques) may be used than those described above. In other embodiments, the portable device may physically couple to the ATM and data may be transmitted through a physical connector. In other embodiments, items other than banknotes may be dispensed. In other embodiments, the self-service terminal may include a storage area for receiving items from a user; such a storage area may be used in addition to or instead of the dispenser. In other embodiments, the terminal may include a display and/or an encrypting keypad. In other embodiments, the terminal may be a conventional terminal having been retrofitted with a communications port and a program to allow the terminal to receive a transaction authorization from a portable device. In other embodiments, the portable device may store a series of transactions that have transaction authorizations associated with them. In other embodiments, fulfilling a transaction may involve allowing a user to use one or more of the facilities provided by the terminal, for example, a printing facility, a display, or such like. The terminal may also provide some form of identity validation for the user.

Spoilers for ME2, in case it wasn't obvious.
"Come with me to Illium," Shepard says, leaning against her desk. Miranda raises an eyebrow.
"Why?" she asks. This is the first time Shepard has requested her presence on a mission; she doesn't think he trusts her.
But Shepard only says: "You look like you could use a break from the paperwork."
And Shepard is the party leader, so Miranda shrugs and suits up and goes with him to Illium to hunt down an assassin. Later, crouching behind a stack of crates in Nassana Dantius's tower, Miranda will briefly muse that Shepard seems to trust everyone but her—unstable biotics, hotheaded vigilantes, adolescent krogan—even Jacob, who is a Cerberus agent—
(But then again, everyone trusts Jacob; there's something about the man that exudes honesty.)
(Later, staring at the dark-eyed drell from across the meeting-room table, Miranda will wonder why Shepard hadn't asked Jacob to do the debriefing for Thane Krios.)
The assassin is green-skinned and somber, and he watches her silently as she paces.
"Your main duty will be to assist Commander Shepard on his missions," Miranda says, heels clicking against the Normandy's deck. "He will, on occasion, request your presence in his shore party, and he may ask you to perform certain tasks for him at his discretion. You will be compensated for your time, of course, and for any expenses you incur."
"Understood," Krios says, bowing his head in acknowledgment; his voice is a low thrumming in too many tones for her to pick apart. "Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Miranda pauses, turns to look at him. "You understand that you'll be working for Cerberus?" Jack had thrown a fit; even Vakarian had voiced his disapproval.
"Cerberus." Krios's expression is unreadable—or too alien for her to read. "The pro-human organization?"
"Precisely. If you have any objections—"
Miranda blinks. She hadn't expected acquiescence so quickly.
"I'll be taking my orders solely from Commander Shepard, correct?" Krios says. And, at her nod: "Then I have no objections."
(And it's strange how many of these spies and assassins and mercenaries would follow Shepard, simply because he asked. Miranda has never been able to inspire that sort of helpless loyalty; she had never even wanted to try.)
"Very well," Miranda says, and sees Krios out.
She goes through his file afterwards, alone in the privacy of her room, and marvels at how little there is in it. A record of his birth on Kahje, a school award for placing second in an art contest, a hospitalization form for a broken arm—
Then, nothing.
Until, years later, a marriage is recorded. Krios has a son shortly after: one Kolyat, male, born six weeks premature—
And nothing again for another ten years, before suddenly the hanar are honoring Krios with medals and awards and he is being treated for Kepral's syndrome. That, really, is the end of his official records; there are a handful of pictures from the award ceremony and a transcript of his acceptance speech (gracious and brief), and that is all.
Everything else—his clients, his contacts, his targets—is rumor, picked up by Cerberus agents. Doubtless the great majority of these rumors are true, but it's still more uncertainty than Miranda is comfortable with.
Krios is, supposedly, the best assassin in the galaxy.
But the people who would know best are dead. It's the trouble with recruiting assassins.
The Illusive Man thinks that Krios is a mercenary.
He isn't. Miranda has seen him fight and bleed and pray, and if Krios fights for anything it would not be money. She doesn't know what he does fight for. Sometimes she thinks he might be looking for redemption; sometimes, she thinks he might not be looking for anything at all.
Mostly: Miranda thinks that Krios kills because he doesn't know anything else.
"Operative Lawson."
She glances up from her report. Krios is at the door, his jacket immaculate, his hands held carefully where she can see them. "Krios," she acknowledges, rising. "Thank you for coming by."
"You said you had questions for me?"
"There are," Miranda says, entirely aware of the massive understatement she is about to make, "a few gaps in your record."
"I was hoping you could fill them in for me."
Krios blinks at her, the odd double-stutter of his eyelids disconcerting in how entirely alien it is. "My apologies," he says. "Much of that is sensitive information. I am sworn to secrecy by nature of the Compact."
And say what you will about the hanar, but they have damned good firewalls. Miranda sighs to herself. "What can you tell me, then?"
"I had a wife." His voice is cool. "Mercenaries killed her. I can give you their names and final words, if you like."
Mercenaries had killed his wife. This hadn't been in the files; she might have to send a request to the Shadow Broker.
(The Illusive Man hates the Shadow Broker. Too flashy, he says, disdainful. Careless operations. Needless advertising. Terrible name.)
"Yes," says Miranda. "Send me the list, please."
The drell inclines his head, adjusts his cuffs, turns to go.
She only hesitates a little. "I'm sorry," Miranda says. "About your wife."
Another blink, a flash of an expression she cannot decipher (perhaps she's simply terrible at reading people). "Thank you."
And he's gone.
Thane Krios.
Single. Green-skinned and exotic. Won't send her into anaphylactic shock. And he doesn't have his eyes glued to her arse every time she turns around, unlike a good three-quarters of the Normandy crew.
And: her father would have hated him.
Years and light-years away from her adolescent rebellion, Miranda still smiles at the thought.
He asks her to call him Thane.
They've finished a mission; Miranda is bidding him farewell as she heads back to her quarters and he to his. "Please, call me Thane," Krios says, and she nods and he bows and they go their separate ways.
And afterwards Miranda will remember the hanar and their tradition of Soul Names, and she will wonder if Krios—Thane—has one.
She asks him to call her Miranda.
Well. Not quite. There's a kiss first, in her private quarters, after a day with too many memories and too much blood; there is her sister, and her father, and a man who loved her and betrayed her and died—
"Don't," says Thane, sweeping his fingers against her cheek. "It's done. Here—"
And he kisses her.
(Oral contact may cause mild hallucinations.)
She can almost taste his memories on his lips.
Thane doesn't look at her as a human might. He doesn't think she's beautiful; doubtless she's the wrong color, and the wrong shape too.
Alien. Exotic, perhaps. She can accept exotic, but Miranda is tired of being beautiful, and she is tired of being alone, and whatever people might think the two are neither unrelated nor contradictory. This is Miranda: a paragon of human beauty, sleek and model-slim and the best collection of recessive genes that money can buy. She hates it.
(She hates her father.)
Thane kisses her and for once in her life Miranda doesn't worry that he's doing it for her looks.
The trouble with a ship like the Normandy—or any ship, really—is the rate at which the gossip spreads. And the real trouble is: Miranda's quarters are just outside the mess hall, and Thane departs right at breakfast time with half the crew staring.
So she isn't surprised when Shepard comes by later, his eyebrows raised.
"So," says Shepard, and pauses, expectant.
There's no getting out of this.
"It was—" Miranda cannot bring herself to say a mistake. "—unexpected."
"I've heard some interesting stuff from Mordin, actually. There's a cream if you need—"
This is mortifying. Really, truly mortifying. "No, thank you."
"Right," Shepard says.
There is a long, long moment of silence. Miranda reminds herself sternly that it's none of the commander's business what—or who—she does in her spare time. "I assure you, Shepard, this will not affect my performance on the mission in anyway."
"Right," Shepard says. And, infuriatingly enough, he pats her on the shoulder: "Well, I'm glad to see that you're enjoying yourself, at least."
Then the man has the gall to leave before Miranda can come up with an appropriate retort.
"Yes," Thane sighs later. "He said the same thing to me."
Thane is not a mercenary; he's an assassin, and a father.
And Miranda watches him with his son and it hurts hurts hurts to think that out there, there are fathers who love their children.
Kolyat Krios is not—as children go—the luckiest.
But he is luckier than she had ever been, and when Thane reaches out to touch his son Miranda has to turn away before she puts a bullet through a wall. Her father is not the sort to admit that he was ever wrong; her father is not the sort to tell her that he loves her (because he doesn't).
It's a petty thing to be jealous of, but Miranda is jealous anyway.
"You could have him killed," Thane says, after she tells him her whole long self-indulgent tale.
He's an assassin; of course he would think that. Miranda shakes her head. "It would be unwise. He's far too important to a great many people Cerberus doesn't wish to annoy."
He watches her for a moment, dark eyes unfathomable. "I'm sorry," Thane says at last.
"Thank you."
He presses his lips to her cheek, her mouth, her throat. Miranda is happy for the distraction.
The assassin is green-skinned and somber, and his blood is spilling out onto the floor of the Collectors' base.
Miranda scrambles for the medi-gel. Thane pushes her away. "Leave it," he says, ragged. "There's no use."
"I'm not leaving you to die—"
"More of them are headed over here!" Tali's voice is sharp over a burst of gunfire. "We have to move!"
They can't hold the position.
"Miranda." Have his eyes grown darker? "I was already dying. Go."
Frantic shooting. Barriers are fizzling out; Miranda is sorrier than she has ever known, and on a battlefield there's no time for mourning.
She stands up abruptly. "Retreat!" she calls out, "Fall back to the Normandy, Shepard has placed the detonator—"
The squad is already moving. Miranda runs.
She looks back one more time before the end—foolish, but she does it anyway—and through the haze of blood and biotics and corpses Thane is still watching her, unfathomable. He catches her eye, lifts his fingers to his lips—
Then: Collectors, gunfire, Normandy, Shepard.
(And he's gone.)
They've saved the galaxy.
"Hooray," Shepard says grimly, looking over the row of coffins as he orders Joker to set a course for the Citadel.
Miranda curls her hand into a fist and breathes against the tightness in her chest.

Employee unions of public sector banks went on a nationwide strike today to press for wage revision, affecting banking services like cheque clearance and withdrawal from branches across the country. However, branches of private sector banks like ICICI and HDFC remained open.
At the same time, most of the ATMs of all banks were functioning normally, as per initial reports. "Strike is complete and total. This strike has been forced upon us as bank management did not yield to our scaled down demands," United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) Convener M V Murali told PTI. Banks, including the country's largest one SBI, have already informed customers about the inconvenience they are likely to face.
There are 27 public sector banks in the country with a combined employee strength of about 8 lakh. There are about 50,000 branches of these banks across the country.
