LabsAdvisor: An 'Honest' Healthcare Provider among the Contemporaries


I've been increasingly intrigued by the great elephant-headed God Ganesh - or Ganesha, depending on your spelling. I decided to do a bit of research, and am starting to really have a god-crush. I really like the different aspects of Ganesh's being. He is the son of Lord Shiva - most high Hindu god of destruction and rejuvenation - and the Goddess Parvati - a peaceful mother goddess of whom all other deities were born. He is both a destroyer and peace bringer, wise and graceful. I like him. So, here is the page that I created for my personal BOS on Ganesh, followed by the official prayers - translated into English - for invoking this particular deity.
Lord Ganesh is revered as the Lord of Beginnings and the Lord of Obstacles. Likewise, he is the Remover of Obstacles. It is said that Ganesh may place obstacles in the path of a person to check them, and may be swayed to remove obstacles as well. He is always honored at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions. These are all honors bestowed upon him by his parents, Lord Shiva and the Goddess Parvati. He is chief of all Lords under Shiva, and in addition to obstacles, he is the Lord of Learning. All intellect, intelligence, or wisdom is his to bestow. It is thought that Ganesh is the personification of the primal Om sound. Lord Ganesh presides over the Muladhara Chakra, or base chakra. Ganesh holds, supports, and guides all other chakras, thereby governing the forces that propel the wheel of life. His parents are Lord Shiva and the Goddess Parvati. Shiva is Lord of destruction and rejuvenation, as well as the most high god. Parvati is seen as a peaceful mother goddess, though like the mother tigress she can be a fierce and powerful protector when necessary. Ganesh is a deity invoked at the beginning of prayers, important undertakings, and religious ceremonies, especially at the beginning of a new business venture.
Hail to the Supreme Lord Ganesh, whose curved trunk and massive body shine like a million suns, who showers his blessings on everyone. Oh my Lord of Lords Ganesh, may you remove all obstacles, always and forever, from all my activities and endeavors.
I ask for good fortune and many blessings and wishes for my current and future lifetimes. I bow in homage to Lord Ganesh who protects me with long lives of health and happiness.
This is the Om symbol. Ganesh is said to reign over this basic, primal sound. You may wish to inscribe this symbol on an invocation candle, or onto any prayers you write down and leave for him.

Ohio State Invitational: Indiana's Peplowski Sisters Claim Four Wins
Noelle Peplowski; Photo Courtesy: NCAA Media
by Matthew De George - Senior Writer
18 November 2022, 08:59pm
Indiana's Peplowski sisters finished the second evening session of the Ohio State Invitational in style Friday night. Anna Peplowski won the 200 freestyle, then Noelle Peplowski won the women's 100 breaststroke, and Anna returned to claim the 100 backstroke. Anna had also led off a winning 200 medley relay to begin the night.
It capped a crazy night that included an event win from a B final on the men's side.
Night 1: Indiana Bags Four Relay A Cuts, Women's 200 Free School Record at Ohio State Invitational
Night 2 Results
Ohio State Invitational Team Scores
Ohio State 1,704
Indiana 1,649.5
Notre Dame 1,132
Virginia Tech 990.5
Yale 702.5
Kentucky 635.5
Cincinnati 613
Lindenwood 490
Indiana 1,584
Ohio State 1,579.5
Kentucky 1,402
Virginia Tech 834
UCLA 800.5
Yale 668
Notre Dame 636.5
Ohio 363.5
Women's 200 medley relay
Indiana picked up the lone NCAA A cut of the night by going 1:35.98. Anna Peplowski led off before handing off to Mackenzie Looze, Elizabeth Broshears and Kristina Peagle. They were 1.3 seconds clear of runner-up UCLA (1:37.28). The shock, though, was top-seeded Ohio State getting DQed. At a seed time of 1:35.28, they were hunting an A cut.
Men's 200 medley relay
Rafael Miroslaw's stellar anchor leg of 18.95 seconds rallied Indiana to the win in 1:24.09, though they were about a quarter-second shy of an NAA A cut. Luke Barr, Van Mathias and Tomer Frankel rounded out that foursome.
The Hoosiers trailed Virginia Tech after three legs, in part because Youssef Ramadan went 19.95 on his leg. They ended up second in 1:24.21, .15 seconds up on Ohio State (with Ruslan Gaziev's 18.89 anchor).
Women's 100 butterfly
After finishing a distant fourth in prelims in the morning, Katherine Zenick went out fast and held off the field to win the event in 52.06. The Ohio State junior was in front by a half-second after a 24.10 opening 50 and held off the charge by the field to get to the wall first.
Second was Coleen Gillian of Notre Dame in 52.24, .06 up on OSU's Morgan Kraus. The top seed from prelims, UCLA's Gabby Dang, was a second slower at night in seventh place at 53.19. Her 52.00 from the morning would've won the race.
Men's 100 butterfly
Speaking of Ramadan, not making the A final might have left the Virginia Tech junior slightly miffed. He took it out on the B final of the 100 fly, cracking a 45.13 that was nearly two seconds quicker than the rest of the consolation final.
It was also faster than the A final winner, Ohio State's Alex Quach, who went 45.14. The sophomore delivered an outstanding swim to swamp a trio of Indiana contenders – Brendan Burns (45.81), Frankel (45.88) and Finn Brooks (46.10).
Women's 400 individual medley
Kentucky classmates Lauren Poole and Gillian Davey went stroke for stroke the last 150 yards, but Poole was the one who pulled it out in the final yards, going 4:07.13 to upend her teammate. Davey got second in 4:07.36, after having been the top seed in the morning. Poole's final 50 split of 28.26 made the difference, Davey going 28.53.
Third was Paige Maceachern of UCLA in 4:09.49. Looze also got under 4:10 at 4:09.67.
Men's 400 individual medley
Jack Hoagland routed the field with a time of 3:43.52, nearly five seconds clear. Ohio State's Fabio Dalu was closest in 3:48.40, and the only two other sub-3:50 times came from the B final – Indiana's Tristan DeWitt and Cincinnati's Spencer Sehlhorst.
Much like the 100 fly, the fastest time in the morning was quicker that at night. And like Dang, Amy Fulmer had to settle for second in finals.
Anna Peplowski bested the field in the final with a time of 1:44.19. That hopped her past Fulmer, who went 1:44.70 for silver. She had been 1:44.04 in the morning.
Miroslaw and Gaziev reprised their battle from the anchor leg of the relay in the 200. Again, it was the Indiana sophomore who came out on top, going 1:33.32 to Gaziev's 1:33.82. They separated from the field early, with Yale's Noah Millard getting third in 1:34.70.
Women's 100 breaststroke
Noelle Peplowski turned third at the midway point but charged home, going 59.17 to win. That's .08 faster than the fifth-year senior was in the morning. Josie Panitz of Ohio State hit her morning time exactly to finish second in 59.32. Teammate Leah Baker joined her under a minute at 59.65.
Men's 100 breaststroke
Jassen Yep led three Hoosiers in the top four with a winning time of 52.05. Third was Josh Matheny in 52.30, with Max Reich following in 52.84, exactly matching his prelims time. In between was Virginia Tech's Carles Coll Marti in 52.19 for second place.
Anna Peplowski used a back-half effort to get to the wall first in 52.12. The sophomore had been third at the 50 but came home in 26.35. She spoiled a win for the top-seeded Caitlin Brooks, the Kentucky senior having been out in 25.22 but getting second in 52.40.
Ohio State's Nyah Funderburke finished third in 52.67. Virginia Tech freshman Carmen Weiler Sastre finished fourth to go with third in the 200 free.
Burns augmented his runner-up fly finish with a win in the 100 back, going 46.01 to defend his top seed. He was .45 up on teammate Gavin Wright, who grabbed second. Thomas Watkins slid into third place in 47.06, with four trailers within three four tenths of him.
Women's 1-meter diving
Kyndal Knight made it a springboard sweep, the Kentucky grad student scoring 329.25 points to claim victory. She had set a school record in the 3-meter event a night earlier.
Second place went to Lena Hentschel of Ohio State with 316.25. Indiana teammates Anne Folwer and Megan Carter followed.
Men's 3- meter diving
After finishing as the runner-up on 1-meter, Maxwell Flory got the win on 3-meter by the slimmest of margins. His score of 425.70 just edged out Carson Tyler's 425.15 to get the win. Third was Flory's Miami teammate Brodie Scapens, while Quinn Henninger of Indiana also topped 400 points.
Women's 800 freestyle relay
Kentucky placed three swimmers in the top nine of the 200 free, and the payoff came in the relay with a winning time of 7:06.18. Izzy Gati, Kaitlynn Wheeler, Beth McNeese and Poole got the job done, Wheeler leading the way. After being fifth in the 200 free, she uncorked a 1:45.70 that put the Wildcats into clean water and allowed them to fend off the charge by Indiana.
Anna Peplowski put Indiana in the lead with her leadoff leg of 1:45.95, but Kentucky rallied soon after Wheeler's handoff, leading for good at the 550-yard mark. With Ella Ristic, Ching Gan and Looze, the Hoosiers went 7:06.45. Third went to Ohio State in 7:07.30, thanks in large part to Fulmer blasting a 1:43.63 coming home.
Men's 800 freestyle relay
Indiana finished the night by prevailing in a tight 800 free relay with the squad of Miroslaw, Mathias, Burns and Frankel. Mathias supplied the fastest leg in 1:33.34 on the way to a time of 6:22.51. Frankel held off a charge by Gaziev, who went 1:34.43, as Ohio State took second place in 6:23.13. Notre Dame, with Colton Paulson going 1:34.95, was third in 6:23.52.

The City of Forest Acres has released information from police chief Gene Sealy regarding the armed robbery that occurred Tuesday morning. The incident took place at South Carolina Federal Credit Union on Forest Drive around 9:50 a.m.
According to representatives, the Forest Acres city office has received numerous calls requesting updated information on the search for the second armed robbery suspect, who is still at large. Sealy released a comment regarding the search.
He noted that the suspect, Samuel Levone Neathery (29), who is wanted for armed robbery, is no longer in the Forest Acres area. "He is entered into the NCIC nationwide. An armed robbery warrant has been issued at this time, and other charges will be forthcoming," Sealy said.
The second suspect in Tuesday's armed robbery was transported to a hospital after she suffered a gunshot wound from a Forest Acres police officer. According to Sealy, the female suspect did not listen to the officer's instructions to show her hands, and proceeded to leave the premises in a Toyota Camry, when she crashed into another vehicle.
Anyone with information regarding Neathery's whereabouts is encouraged to call 803-782-9444, or Crimestoppes at 1-888-CRIME-SC. Additional developments on this story will continue to be updated as received.

History FormationIranian Airways Douglas DC-3 freighter in 1954
In 1946, a group of businessmen founded Iran''s first flag carrier under the name of Iranian Airways. Operations covered domestic and regional passenger and freight services plus a weekly freight service to Europe. The fleet consisted of Douglas DC-3s initially, supplemented by Douglas DC-4 and Vickers Viscount aircraft, later on. In 1954, the privately owned airline Persian Air Services (PAS) was established, which initially operated only freight services, followed by passenger operations between Tehran and other major cities in Iran. In 1960, PAS initiated service to several European destinations, including Geneva, Paris, Brussels and London, using Douglas DC-7C aircraft, leased from Sabena.
Iran National Air Lines DC-6B in Arak Airport 1964
On 24 February 1962, Iranian Airways and PAS merged to form the Iran National Airlines Corporation, known as Iran Air. It was a public sector venture that combined the assets and liabilities of the two predecessor air carriers. Among the aircraft used were Avro York, Douglas DC-3, Douglas DC-6 and Vickers Viscount. The carrier became a full member of IATA in 1964.
"Iranian Airways" was established in May 1944 and flew its first passenger flight after World War II from Tehran to the holy city of Mashhad. Within a period of 17 years, from 1945 to 1962, the airline developed into a major domestic carrier with a few international flights per week.
The board of ministers ratified a proposal to establish a national airline on 10 February 1961. Following this decision, on 24 February 1961, "Iranian Airways" and "Pars Airways", a private airline established in 1954, merged to form the new airline "Iran Air", using the "HOMA" bird as a symbol.
ExpansionIran Air Boeing 707–320 at Frankfurt Airport in 1970
In 1965, Iran Air took delivery of its first jet aircraft, the Boeing 707 and the Boeing 727-100, followed by the Boeing 737–200 in 1971, the stretched Boeing 727-200 in 1974 and three variants of Boeing 747s (747-100, −200 and SP), starting in 1978–1979. By the mid-1970s, Iran Air was serving cities in Europe with non-stop and one-stop flights (there were over 30 flights per week to London alone).
On 8 October 1972, Iran Air placed an order with British Aircraft Corporation for two Concorde supersonic jets, plus one option. One was leased for a few flights from Tehran to Kish Island, but never appeared in Iran Air Livery. These orders were canceled in April 1980, in the wake of the Iranian Revolution, making Iran Air the last airline to cancel its Concorde orders.
On 29 May 1971, the Tehran to New York City route was inaugurated, first with Boeing 707s, making a stop-over at London Heathrow Airport. Shortly thereafter, the route was converted into a non-stop flight using Boeing 747SPs, making Iran Air the second Middle Eastern carrier (after El Al), to offer non-stop service to New York. With this flight, Iran Air set a new world record in time and distance for a non-stop, scheduled long-haul flight (12 hours and 15 minutes, 9,867 km – 6,131 mi – 5,328 nm). In 1978, the airline acquired six Airbus A300B2k aircraft for use on its domestic trunk and busy regional routes. By the end of that year, Iran Air was serving 31 international destinations stretching from New York City to Beijing and Tokyo. Plans were made to offer direct services to Los Angeles and to Sydney, for which the airline''s long range Boeing 747SP aircraft were ideally suited. This would have allowed Iran Air to use Tehran as a midway point between East and West, because of its home base''s favorable geographical location. Such plans were never realized.
By the late 1970s, Iran Air was the fastest growing airline in the world and one of the most profitable. By 1976, Iran Air was ranked second only to Qantas, as the world's safest airline, having been accident free for at least ten consecutive years. Although both airlines were accident free, Iran Air came second only because of fewer operational hours flown compared to Qantas. Prior to this ranking, a fatal accident occurred on 25 December 1952, in which 27 of the 29 passengers on board perished, when their Douglas DC-3 crashed on landing.
After the Iranian RevolutionAn Iran Air Boeing 747–200 landing at London Heathrow Airport, England. (1979)
In the wake of the Iranian Revolution in February 1979, Iran Air began to reorganize its international operations, discontinuing service to a range of foreign destinations. Tehran was designated as the only official gateway to Iran, while Shiraz could be used as an alternate, only in case of operational requirements. All other cities in Iran lost their international status. However, in recent times, many of Iran''s major city airports have regained a minor international status. These direct international flights using airports in other major Iranian cities currently serve regional countries. The last departure from New York was on 7 November 1979. The last scheduled flight from Tehran to New York City on 8 November 1979 was diverted at the last minute to Montreal, prompted by an embargo suddenly imposed by the U.S. government following the occupation of the US embassy in Tehran by revolutionary students. Subsequently, the Boeing 747SPs were used on the airline''s European and Asian routes.
After the start of the Iran–Iraq War in September 1980, Iran Air''s domestic and international operations were often subject to cancellation and irregularity, in line with the wartime situation. This continued until August 1988, when a cease-fire agreement took effect. Right from the start of the Iran–Iraq War, Abadan, the gateway to Iran''s oil-producing region, lost all its air links, because the airport had to be closed.
The year 1981 saw the formal name of the airline changed to "The Airline of the Islamic Republic of Iran". Iran Air carried 1.7 million passengers in that year. In 1990, the first of six Fokker 100 jets was added to the fleet and five more were added later on. In 2001, the airline bought six second-hand Airbus A310 aircraft (five −200 and one −300 series), since the U.S. authorities blocked the planned purchase of any new Airbus A330 units. In 2005, the carrier bought two Airbus A300-600s from Olympic Airlines. In the wake of the growing tension, between the U.S. and Iranian governments, over Iran''s nuclear program, the plan to supply Boeing spare parts or aircraft, to upgrade the aging fleet of Iran Air, was blocked by the USA and members of the EU. However a new agreement between Iran and the United States at the end of 2006, has changed that and allowed an overhaul of Iran Air''s fleet. The airline is wholly owned by the Government of Iran and has 7,500 employees.
Ongoing refueling conflict and EU ban
On 5 July 2010, an aviation official for Iran accused the U.K., Germany and the United Arab Emirates of refusing to refuel Iranian passenger jets. This move follows unilateral sanctions imposed by the US over the nuclear weapons dispute. Iran Air and Mahan Air both claim to have been denied refuelling. A spokeswoman for Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) said that there is a contract with Iranian passenger flights to refuel and ADAC will continue to do so. A spokesperson for the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority said that it is the sole decision of independent suppliers if planes are to be refuelled or not. Germany''s Transport Ministry said the refuelling of Iranian planes was not banned under EU or UN sanctions but did not say whether any independent refuellers were denying refuelling. Later in the day, Dubai revealed that they too continue to refuel Iranian passengers flights in and out of Dubai. The next day, a spokesperson for Iran said that no such limitation had been imposed.
On 6 July 2010, it was announced that the European Commission would ban all of Iran Air''s Airbus A320, Boeing 727 and Boeing 747 fleet from the EU over safety concerns. This move will come as a major blow to Iran Air, limiting flights to Europe with their own aircraft.
An Iran Air Airbus A300 approaching Tehran-Mehrabad Airport (2010)
As a result of a move in March 2011, when a majority of the EU airports refused refueling services to Iran Air, most of Iran Air services originating from Western Europe to Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport started landing in Belgrade, Serbia in order to refuel. On May 22 Switzerland has also announced to call-off the supply of Iranian airliners on their flights from Geneva. Following 3 month of refueling operations, the Belgrade airport authorities gradually suspended the contract with Iran Air.
Since this cessation of the contract, Iran Air aircraft operated technical stops in Minsk, Belarus and Kiev, Ukraine, en route to Tehran, forcing aircraft to make a significant detour from their original flight-path, especially if flying from airports located far on the Western-end of the European continent such as Paris.
However, as of 2012, the EU re-allowed the refueling of Iran Air aircraft at secondary European airports such as Ljubljana and Budapest, in an effort to retain the refueling contracts within the EU, rather than letting them go to Serbia or later Belarus and Ukraine.
Until January 2012, Iran Air''s flights to and from London Heathrow operated with a fuel stop at Manston Airport in Kent. However, the airport announced in December 2011 that this arrangement was to end, and it would no longer refuel the company''s aircraft. This announcement swiftly followed the closure of Iran''s embassy in London as a consequence of the ransacking of the British embassy in Tehran by a student mob. The airport stressed that it had not breached any trade agreements, as it had no connections with the USA.
Technical stopover for refuelling for the flight London-Teheran at Milan Malpensa airport
As of September 2014,Iran Air''s flights to and from London Heathrow, Paris Charles De Gaulle and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol usually make a stopover in Italy, at Milan Malpensa Airport, in order to refuel the aircraft, whereas some flights from Frankfurt still make a stopover in Belgrade.
Subsidiaries Iran Air CargoIran Air Cargo Boeing 747-200 taking off from DXB
Iran Air Cargo is the freight wing of the airline. In May 2008, it acquired two Airbus A300B4F aircraft to resume freighter operations, which were suspended after the grounding of its single Boeing 747-200F cargo aircraft. Freight is also flown with Iran Air''s passenger fleet belly-hold capacity.
Iran Airtour is a low cost carrier, based at the Mashhad International Airport (MHD) and is a subsidiary of Iran Air. Soviet-designed Tu-154M jets were the backbone of this airline, although Iran Air Tours has acquired a number of Airbus A300B4 and MD-83 aircraft on lease and in hybrid livery from Turkey, increasing its flights to domestic cities like Mashhad, Zahedan and Ahvaz.
Iran Air Tours initiated scheduled operations in 1990, taking over the bulk of the domestic services, formerly operated by Iran Air. Iran Air Tours has been responsible for the build-up of an extensive route network, focused on the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad, home to the Imam Reza shrine, one of the holiest shrines of the Shi''a Muslims.
Reservations for Iran Air Tours flights can be made via the Iran Air system. The carrier also operates charter flights.
Homa Hotel Group is a subsidiary company of Iran Air, which owns a chain of hotels in the major cities of Iran. Homa Hotels are located in Tehran, Shiraz, Bandar Abbas and Mashhad, where there are two hotels. All the hotels were constructed prior to 1979, with the exception of the second Mashad hotel, built in the late 1990s.
The hotel group was established by the government, after the 1979 Iranian revolution and has more than 800 furnished rooms. Most of the hotels were under private control prior to 1979, but were nationalized soon after. The most famous of these was the Homa Hotel Tehran, which used to be the Tehran Sheraton, prior to being nationalized in 1979.

Corporate headquartersIran Air head office, Mehrabad Airport, Tehran
The Iran Air head office is located on the property of Mehrabad Airport in Tehran. The head office building was constructed by Israeli engineers prior to the Islamic Revolution of 1979. The facility had a Star of David on its roof for decades before being discovered on Google Maps around 2010, over 30 years after the building''s construction. Iranian authorities had plans to remove the Star of David.
Foreign officesIran Air office, 73 Piccadilly Circus, London. (2011)
Iran Air''s London offices are currently in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The airline moved there by Wednesday 4 January 2012. Iran Air previously had its Piccadilly main sales office in the City of Westminster. In 1992 protesters threw firebombs at the Picadilly office. As of 2011 Iran Air still had a model of an Iran Air Concorde in the windows of the London office. The airline had signed up to be a customer of the aircraft, but the airline never regularly operated Concorde, only leasing the aircraft for a short period.
Iran Air''s Netherlands offices are on Level 3 of Tower A of the World Trade Center at Schiphol Airport.
Services Hajj and Umrah operations
Hajj charter operations form a major part of Iran Air''s annual activities. Every year, tens of thousands of pilgrims fly from major cities in Iran to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia''s air gateway to Mecca, to take part in pilgrimage ceremonies.
In 2001, Iran Air carried around 60,000 pilgrims to Jeddah, within a span of 40 days. 352 Hajj charter flights were operated from 17 cities in Iran.
Iran Air also operates charter flights from cities in Iran to Jeddah, during the Umrah season. To deal with the operational requirements and to meet traffic demand, the airline leases aircraft including Boeing 747–200s and Airbus A300B2s.

Iran Air''s average fleet age is 25.8 years (as of 16 January 2014).
Aircraft acquired by Iran Air must have less than 10% of US-manufactured components on board and it must not have belonged to a US airline since its registration. As most Airbus aircraft are powered by General Electric, CFM, Pratt and Whitney or Rolls-Royce engines, Iran Air has not been able to acquire many of their aircraft. Current American sanctions do not prevent Iran Air from leasing American or European aircraft but Iran Air prefers purchasing in order to be able to perform all maintenance and remain up to date with technological advances. Since purchasing from American or European manufacturers directly is prohibited under US and EU sanctions, Iran Air turns to third parties airlines as well as Russian manufacturers.
On 20 December 2006, Iran Air put back into operation one of its Boeing 747SP aircraft that had been out of operation for many years, after putting it through a major overhaul by the Fajr Aviation & Composites Industry. In June 2007, Iran Air managed to lease one A340-200 aircraft from Conviasa Airlines of Venezuela. This marked the first time a leasing operation was completed by an all-Iranian team lead by Capt Daryoush Khorasani to set up the A340 fleet for two months.
On 14 August 2007, it was reported that Iran Air had overcome sanctions imposed by the west and that their fleet of A310s are ready to resume service. On 21 May 2008, it was reported that Iran Air may become subject to a new EU sanction, banning all its flights from landing in EU airports. According to Iran Air''s managing director Saeed Hesami, EU is citing Iran Air''s technical and safety shortcomings as the reason for the imminent ban.
Fleet modernizationAn Iran Air Fokker 100 at Shiraz International Airport, Iran. (2007)
This section is outdated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (January 2014)
Iran Air is to begin a partial modernization program of its own fleet and that of its subsidiary Iran Air Tours using new-generation Russian aircraft. In August 2007, the airline announced an order for 5 Tupolev Tu-204-100 aircraft. Five Tupolev Tu-204-100s will be acquired for Iran Air Tours. The Tu-204 deal has been disclosed by Moscow-based lessor Ilyushin Finance (IFC), which said that the firm contract would be signed by 15 December 2006, with the deal also including five options. Iran Air expects the five firmly ordered twin-jets to be delivered to Iran Air Tours in the second half of 2010, at a rate of one aircraft per month. Russia's Ilyushin Finance has signed a preliminary contract with Iran Air Tours at the Dubai Air Show 2007 to supply Iran with 5 Tupolev Tu-204 (Tu-204-100) aircraft.
In August 2007, the airline purchased 4 Fokker 100s from TAM Airlines of Brazil. Iran Air has also displayed a keen interest in the Sukhoi Superjet 100.
Incidents and accidents
25 December 1952: Iran Air Douglas DC-3; Tehran, Iran: 27 fatalities and two survivors.
21 January 1980: Iran Air Boeing 727–286; near Tehran, Iran: The aircraft hit high ground in a snowstorm during the approach to land. All eight crew members and 120 passengers were killed.
3 July 1988: Iran Air Flight 655 was flying over the Persian Gulf on its way to Dubai from Bandar Abbas. According to the U.S. version of events, the USS Vincennes Navy cruiser mistook the airliner for an Iranian F-14 Tomcat and the cruiser shot the airliner down with a missile, killing all 16 crew and 274 passengers. While there were Iranian and American naval skirmishes, various sources including 60 Minutes and Newseek have alleged that the shoot-down was a deliberate act of aggression by the U.S Navy in the heat of Iran''s 1980–1988 Gulf War against the American backed invasion of Saddam Hussein''s regime into southern Iran, in which the U.S. was actively supporting Iraq with arm shipments and covert actions. The same sources claim that the captain of the U.S Navy ship implicated in the crime was harassing Iranian civilian shipping for two weeks prior to the crime. Iranians maintain it was an intentional act of barbarism. The United States called the incident a "mistake", although the Airbus airliner was over 20 times larger in size than an F-14 jet, within close proximity to the ship''s long range radars. Furthermore, the United States, through Vice President George H. W. Bush, expressed regret and promised to compensate victims, but that the money would not go through the Iranian government. Newsweek published a long article titled "Sea of Lies" that largely blamed Capt. Will Rogers, the Vincennes' commander.
2 January 2008: Iran Air Fokker 100 EP-IDB carrying 100 passengers skidded off the runway after its wing caught fire, when taking off for a domestic flight to Shiraz International Airport from Mehrabad Airport. No one was injured in the accident, which happened amid heavy snowfall at the airport.
18 November 2009: Iran Air Fokker 100 EP-CFO suffered an undercarriage malfunction on take-off from Isfahan International Airport. The aircraft was on a flight to Mehrabad Airport, Tehran when the undercarriage failed to retract. The aircraft landed at Isfahan but was substantially damaged when the left main gear collapsed. There were no casualties in this event.
15 January 2010: Iran Air Fokker 100 EP-IDA, operating Flight 223 was substantially damaged when the nose gear collapsed after landing at Isfahan International Airport. There were no casualties in this incident.
9 January 2011: Iran Air Flight 277, a Boeing 727-200 (registration EP-IRP) originating from Tehran crashed near its destination city of Orumiyeh, 460 miles northwest of Tehran. It was carrying 105 people, of whom 28 have survived. Bad weather conditions during landing led to a go around.

'Hillbilly Handfishin' Reality Show Coming to Animal Planet
–Chad Love Here's one from the "Do We Really Need A Reality Show For This?" files… From this story in...
By Chad Love | Published Mar 7, 2011 6:48 PM
–Chad Love
Here's one from the "Do We Really Need A Reality Show For This?" files…
From this story in the Winston-Salem (NC) Journal:
Animal Planet — the network about things people do for, and to, animals — has ordered a reality series in which city slickers pay good money to go to Oklahoma to noodle. "Noodling" is hillbilly for "catching catfish with your hands." Don't take my word for it: Animal Planet is calling the series "Hillbilly Handfishin'." The show, Animal Planet explains, stars "self-proclaimed hillbilly" Skipper Bivins, who, for a price, takes silly city slickers out and teaches them how to catch catfish with their bare hands.
_"…Animal Planet plans to unleash "Hillbilly Handfishin'" on the public in August, but the network actually premiered the pilot for this series way back on Sept. 24 and averaged 630,000 viewers — 44 percent better than the year-ago time-slot average. Two encores of the pilot copped even bigger crowds: 653,000 viewers Dec. 9 and 722,000 viewers Dec. 22. Noodling was also featured in a 2003 episode of Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs," though it's unclear what the "job" part was. More recently, noodling was a story line in an episode of ABC's comedy series "Cougar Town," in which Bobby and Travis went on a dad/son noodling-bonding trip.
Really? "Hillbilly Handfishin'?" Great. It's obvious from the show's title that my home state will surely be portrayed in the most positive light possible. Anyone willing to take an over/under on how long we get into the first episode before we see (or hear) our first "Deliverance" reference? More importantly, anyone planning on watching it?

MOONLEAF Tea Shop is a Filipino brand which offers beverages in café style, and currently have 2 outlets in Indonesia (Solo and Jakarta).
This time, we were invited to try some of their specialties, I was curious about this brand since I thought they use Filipino tea or something. In fact, MOONLEAF's drinks and mixes are made using premium quality tea leaves sourced from the tea-growing regions in Taiwan. So although it is a Filipino brand, it's safe to say the tea is brewed, steeped and served in authentic Taiwanese tradition, just like any other similar tea-related drinks in the market.
MOONLEAF Tea Shop in Jakarta is located at Kramat Pela Raya street, which might be a bit confusing, especially if you only rely on GoogleMap and such navigation tools. Weeks before I got the invitation, actually we already wanted to go there but after going around for many times and didn't find the shop, we gave up and went somewhere else instead. FYI, I am quite good with the streets around the neighborhood as I hang around there a lot. Rather than using the street name as your guidance, this shop is located beside Pipiltin Cocoa Barito outlet.
MOONLEAF occupies a ruko building, not so small and quite spacious for a ruko unit. Only the first floor is available for cafe, with seating capacity of 30 person. The cafe is designed with colorful, young, and I love how they keep it simple and down-to-earth, without looking cheap. My first impression is that this place is really targeted for young people to relax or just hang out with friends.
Heard that MOONLEAF in Philippines brings the concept of community shop, where people do gather and share, more or less like community concept. On the side of the wall, there is various writings of guests who pour their thoughts about MOONLEAF in writings, drawings etc on colorful notes. I think this kind of thing is not new but always interesting to see what people think about the place!
MOONLEAF offers selections of tea-based beverages such as black tea, green tea and so on. We can choose to go for basic ones, mix it with milk or fruit, or even add some add-ons.
Price of the drinks ranges from IDR 15,000 – 29,000, and they are available in 2 types: Cold drinks (Regular & Large) and Hot drinks. The add-ons include pudding, pearl, nata, and aloe vera, and available with additional price, starting from IDR 3,000.
Out of 5, 3 of them (Wintermelon, Peppermint, and Passion Fruit) are MOONLEAF's recommended drinks, but my ultimate favorite was Honey Green Tea, followed by Wintermelon Milk Tea. The tea has a strong flavor and fragrance, which still stands out even after being mixed with various ingredients such as fruits and honey. The add-ons were good too, I think nata went so well with the refreshing Honey Green Tea, and that combination would definitely be my #1 Recommendation if you happen to stop by!
Beside the drinks, MOONLEAF here also serves some menu, mainly small bites for sharing. Main course like pasta dishes are also available but not too convincing.
Food prices range from IDR 25,000 to 45,000.
If I didn't read the menu behind the counter, I wouldn't have known that it was nachos. Served more like the shape of samosa, the crispy triangle was soft when bitten because the filling was cheese. I wouldn't say this is anything close to real nachos, but I enjoyed it as a snack.
Sandwich with chocolate, peanut butter and cheese; nothing special about this.
The BBQ wings are not typical BBQ wings as they serve it like "ayam pentol" (Indonesians know this well!) drenched with Bolognese-look-alike sauce generously. The chicken are battered and deep-fried, very meaty and quite fulfilling. The sauce looked like a homemade sauce, it was nice and tasty enough to compliment the chicken. Again, there was nothing reminded me of BBQ wings when I ate this, but in a sense of the food itself, it was quite enjoyable.
MOONLEAF Tea Shop is probably not as well-known as other Taiwanese drinks shops that have been around for quite some time, but it's still a nice addition to the Kebayoran neighborhood, without having to go to shopping malls to buy some. We hope that more selections of food are added in the future, and we think smoking area is definitely a must in a cafe like this.
We wish MOONLEAF the best and we hope that we can return again someday.

A key component of this effort is the corporation's Spanish-language website, which goes live today: www.palisade-lta.com.
Palisade develops analytic software to help businesses and institutions improve the quality of their decisions and the information that shapes these decisions. Its products include @RISK, the DecisionTools® Suite, StatTools®, and NeuralTools®. Last year, the corporation introduced a Spanish-language version of @RISK, which is the top-selling Excel add-in for risk analysis in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. It also hosts a program of regular training seminars throughout Latin America.
The new website will offer a variety of resources to Spanish-speaking customers throughout the region: free product trial versions, product information, seminar schedules, and customer case studies among them. In addition, Latin American customers will be able to purchase and download software online, in Spanish. The download service saves shipping time and fees.
Other key initiatives in the market include an expanded training seminar program for the region, increased presence at Latin American industry trade events, and more publication advertising. In addition, Palisade is planning the translation of other popular products into Spanish and Portuguese.
Review copies of Palisade software are always complementary to members of the press.

TV ReviewsNew GirlSeason 2
New Girl: "Parking Spot"
New GirlSeason 2
(For the next several days, some of our writers will be swapping duties on some of our most popular shows. Some of them will like what they see, but for different reasons. Some of them will have vastly different opinions from the regular reviewers. And some of them won't be all that different. It's Second Opinions Week at TV Club.)
A couple days before New Girl aired its incredible, master stroke, episode of the year, "Cooler," I was talking to a friend about how the second season is going generally. I've been a big fan but she said that Nick's characterization had gotten too broad—he was always a sad-sack curmudgeon, but she thought that was being cartoonishly emphasized this year. I disagreed (it's really more a matter of a new show finding a character's strengths and building on them) but what neither of us knew that there was an even grander plan at work here.
I can't speak to the extent to which Elizabeth Meriwether and her writers have gamed things out on this show. But if you go back to earlier season-two episodes, there's added enjoyment to watching them with the knowledge that Nick is realizing he's developed serious feelings for Jess and that it's driving him a little batty. That's why I've been so impressed with how this plot twist is developing. It doesn't just feel like a sweeps-week reveal tossed in to bolster New Girl water-cooler talk. It also doesn't feel like some meta trick where the obvious will-they/won't-they romance turns into an academic discussion on the very idea of will-they/won't-they (Scrubs really had this problem).
"Parking Space" adds further shading to the Nick and Jess dynamic and, I'm guessing, acts as the final part of a loose Nick and Jess kissing trilogy. I'm sure the plot will continue to dominate as the season enters the home stretch, but, as with "Table 34," this episode sees Nick and Jess still deep in the weeds, trying to figure out how to progress after Nick's big move and subsequent confused jackassery. This is also the week where Schmidt finds out about everything, which means everyone's in the know now.
This is largely a farcical, madcap episode and it's very fun, with just two plots spinning: Jess, Nick, and Schmidt fight over a newly discovered parking space reserved for the loft, while Winston runs around town trying to find a condom so he and Daisy (Brenda Song in a welcome return) can get it on before some work-related time window closes.
Winston's adventures are filled with solid laughs but it does emphasize how he's always been little cut off from the gang when it comes to deeper, emotional material like this. The show has made progress on that front, but his connection with Jess in particular still seems a little thinner. Lamorne Morris also doesn't quite have the crazy slapstick chops of Jake Johnson or Max Greenfield either, but he has some fine moments tonight. The best is his bursting in on Cece, attempting another arranged date with the sad Englishman Shivrang (Satya Bhabha, also previously seen in "Cooler"). I liked the return of Shivrang and watching him buckle under Winston's questioning re: his condom possession—the poor guy is never going to make a good impression with the infinitely understanding Cece. I was a little bummed that we didn't get to see Daisy again after her opening scene, but things tied in rather cutely—Winston returns home and gets the parking space out of sympathy for his sexless situation, only to find the space is utterly cramped and useless. More Brenda Song in the future though, please. She's bringing something very fun and vulnerable out of Winston.
The main plot, meanwhile, sees the group dynamic shift again and again. First Jess and Schmidt appoint Nick the decider, and even though the episode begins with Jess acknowledging the awkwardness of the kiss and saying they should move past it, she's quickly using her feminine wiles to win the space at any cost. Nick gifts it to her to try and be a gentleman, which pings on Schmidt's spider-sense, and then we're off to the races as the whole matter gets one more post-mortem.
The big new piece of information, which is played really well, is the "no-nail oath" that the three male roommates (the much-missed Coach, not Winston, gets a shout-out here) signed when Jess moved in. Jess is understandably horrified and grossed out, but many a sitcom would use this revelation as the opportunity for a big dumb blowout fight. What ensues here is a little more complicated. Schmidt's being his douchey self, reacting to the kiss with cocky fury, but he's right that the group's entire dynamic is at risk (he takes things too far, as usual, by insisting Jess kiss him and instantly realizing his error).
Nick is quite the coward the whole episode—he gives the space to Jess to be a gentleman, but quickly worries that's just a tit-for-tat and switches to Schmidt, yelling "the city can't have another scandal!" When the situation devolves into the three of them sitting on the space waiting for someone to break, Nick whines that he just wants candy. He claims the kiss was a dumb mistake, something I feared the show would stick with, even though the whole premeditation of the thing undermines that argument.
But no, we finally get a real, goof-free conversation where Nick says the no-nail oath was his idea. "You thought I was just going to sleep with one of you, I just couldn't help it?" Jess asks. "It was me, Jess. I couldn't help it." He replies. She drops a box of fishsticks. They almost kiss, but a peeved Schmidt breaks them up. And with that, we're out of the immediate aftermath and into a brave new world. Jess and Nick's sexual tension has been addressed, but is still very volatile and ripe for further exploration. No major plot developments are happening just yet, but this show is nonetheless must-see TV from a serial perspective alone. And we mustn't forget, it's still very, very funny, full of laughs that largely connect because of how well-established its ensemble has become.
The whole 'shipping thing is a tricky tightrope to walk, and so far New Girl is doing it pretty perfectly. It's nigh-impossible that it's going to continue hitting every mark this well. But the balance of laughs to pathos to honestly gripping relationship tension in "Parking Space" is impeccable.
Stray observations:
The best sight gag(s) of the episode the character's improvised parking spots: Schmidt is "middled" in a lot, Jess' car has been colonized by cats, and, best of all, Nick's ride is under some cardboard in the L.A. river culvert (he employs a group of kids to help him push it when it won't start).
Jess declares destiny a lady, but Schmidt cares not. "Destiny might be a lady, but victory has a penis. Direct quote, Scott Caan."
Among Winston's suggestions for a replacement condom: a baseball cap that's really small.
Schmidt can't believe Jess kissed Nick. "What do you think, mono is just some sort of joke?"

A strong story about family and friendship, weathering life's storms, and discovering that everyone has secrets.
The plot of Silence of the Jams is engaging and fast paced, pulling the reader along on a wild tale of murder and suspense.
I love that the author was able to write in a way that made me feel if I shut my eyes I could see the story unfolding around me.
Amy Flowers is a wonderful Southern heroine for this cozy series. Her cafe is a fun setting with an enjoyable cast of supporting characters.
There are a lot of really likable characters in this book. I loved the close-knit family relationship between Amy, her mom, her cousin, and her Aunt Bess.
The writing is so good it kept me glued to the book. The author has a great way of developing her characters with ease.
I got so involved in this story that time flew by and the book was over.
… it is excellent, a cozy mystery in the truest sense. Gayle's writing is flows easily across the page, there's good character depth, the mystery is well plotted.
This book has a well thought out plot but more than that, is character driven, bringing the story to life.
Such a great page turner with so many possible suspects.
This was another great read in the Down South Café Mysteries. I really enjoy visiting Amy and the rest of the inhabitants of the small town of Winter Garden, VA.
SILENCE OF THE JAMS combines the love and interdependence of family with a well plotted mystery amidst a backdrop of lip smacking comfort food to create a delectable read.
Compelling (and quirky) characters combine with the charming town of Winter Garden, Virginia, to give the novel the right dose of southern small town flair.
…we become immersed in the daily life of this Southern Town, and get to know just about everyone.
Silence of the Jams is a riveting southern cozy murder mystery that will engage you to join in the crazy adventures and trials and tribulations that occur, while providing you with a dose of good ol' southern charm and humor.
Silence of the Jams is the second book in the Down South Cafe series and it was just as good as the first one.
I like that there is family and friends are heavily involved in this story as well as the touch of romance.
This was a delightful read, that had me waking at first light to finish. Gayle has created a sweet, suspenseful series in her latest to the cozy world.
The mystery is well written and the story's pace is fairly fast. The mystery has plenty of twists and turns and plenty of potential villains.
This is a quick read, with mystery, friendship and family, it will keep you intrigued for a while.
I'm really looking forward to reading this series! I just got the first one!!!


ROME, Italy - On 1 November 2017, three important events were celebrated at the General House. At the start of this month the community rejoiced for being complete for the first time since the nomination of the new general council. It was then an opportune time for the superior of the house to (1) welcome officially the new General Administration. (2) It was also the feast of All Saints, and (3) the post-birthday celebration of Fr. Arnold, whose birthday was the day before his arrival in Rome.
To celebrate this important day, the community shared a simple meal and spent quality time with each other at the table.


Last week we suggested Euro QE was an idea whose time had come and gone. No need to worry, it has already been a great success, according to President Draghi. If indeed Dollar Parity is the Prize, Draghi should step up to the podium. The Euro closed at €1.05 against the Greenback, well on the way to parity. Bond yields are falling, stock markets are rallying. Hot money is moving into European equities on a growth - yield ticket with a guaranteed currency kicker over the medium term. The placebo effect is in full sway … in ways we could never have imagined at onset.
In the US, the Fed determined to push forward with a rate rise later this year, despite the strength of the dollar. Mark Carney on the other hand suggested, strength of Sterling may be the reason the rate rise will be delayed into 2016. Confused … you should be.
Mark Carney's new broom is sweeping through the Bank of England, the Labours of Hercules as nothing. As the rivers Alpheus and Peneus washed through the Augean stables. It is as if the Thames is sweeping through Threadneedle Street, with the SFO in a mine sweeper. The MPC - out and about with clear thinking and straight talking.
Mark Carney was out of office delivering a speech to the Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Institute on inflation targeting - "Writing the path to target". Ian McCafferty, avoided getting his feet wet. He was in Durham explaining the impact of oil prices on monetary policy. The hog cycle and cobweb theorem dragooned into the intellectual debate at Durham University. Excellent … explains all.
I am beginning to think, the construction data is produced by an algorithm with some kind of Bipolar or SADD (Seasonally Adjusted Deficiency) Disorder. One month up, one month down. In January the depressives ran the model. Output down -3% compared to prior year following an increase of 5% in December. In December, the optimists tweaked the buttons.
Don't worry too much about one months figures. We continue to forecast growth of over 5% in 2015 as the housing market will continue to drive activity.
Manufacturing output increased by 1.9% in January compared to prior year. A slow start to 2015. Total production increased by just 1.3%. A large increase in mining and quarrying, offset by falls in utilities this month.
Within the manufacturing sector, there was a surprise fall in capital goods, offset by strong growth in consumer durables. Textiles output fell by 10% with strong growth evident in transport equipment and food. 'Wheels, wings and onion rings" the mantra for manufacturing growth in the years ahead.
For the year as a whole we are still forecasting manufacturing growth of 2.5% following growth of 2.9% last year. A slow start in the first month, no need to worry just yet.
The sharp narrowing of the deficit, reflects a fall of £2.5 billion in imports. Almost half of this fall (£1.2 billion) is attributed to oil imports.
On a regional basis, exports to the US were up but exports to Europe and China fell. Imports were down reflecting lower oil and commodity prices with a surprising fall in consumer goods and capital goods. Surprising given the strength of the recovery in the UK.
The overall deficit (goods and services) will be around £30 billion, down from the £32 billion in 2014. At less than 2% of GDP the deficit is not a challenge to growth.
So when will rates rise?
Sterling closed down against the Dollar at $1.475 from $1.505 and moved up against the Euro to €1.401 from €1.387. The Euro closed down against the Dollar at €1.0520 from €1.1387, a huge move. The push to parity is on.
Oil Price Brent Crude closed down at $55.68 from $60.55. US oil stocks are rising putting pressure on prices. The average price in March last year was $107.48.
Markets, fell back on interest rate and currency fears. Hot money moves into Europe. The Dow closed at 17,691 from 17,901 and the FTSE closed down at 6,740 from 6,911.
UK Ten year gilt yields moved down to 1.72 from 1.95. US Treasury yields moved down to 2.11 from 2.24.
Gold closed down at $1,152 ($1,167).
That's all for this week. Don't miss the Big Social Media Conference in July and the Great Manchester Economics Conference in October. It's a great line up for all events!

Unfair competition is an area of law that commercial litigation lawyers are often hired for. Unfair competition can apply in many industries, and it is designed to prevent employees from quitting their jobs and starting new businesses that harm the companies they left. If you recently started a new company after leaving your job and are being sued by your former employer, you may need to hire a lawyer that specializes in commercial litigation. Here are three factors that may affect your case, and your lawyer will discuss these with you.
Was There A Non-Compete Agreement?
To prevent the employee from working in a similar business if he or she stops working at this company.
These agreements typically have time frames for these rules, and they may also have distance requirements. For example, a non-compete agreement may state that you are not allowed to open a similar business within 50 miles of the company's location.
Companies require these to protect their businesses. If employees leave and start similar businesses right down the street, it could harm the sales and profitability of the original company.
While every state has different rules about non-compete agreements, they are often unenforceable. Your lawyer can look over the non-compete agreement you signed to determine its validity.
There are several factors your lawyer will look at while reading this over, and one of these things is the time frame. Non-compete agreements can contain time frames, but they must be reasonable. For example, a one-year time frame might be acceptable, while a five-year time frame might not.
Will The Agreement Force You Into Poverty?
A second thing that matters is how this agreement will affect you and your ability to earn a living. If the skill you used at your job was very precise and limited, you may have to get a job where you can use this particular skill. If you are prohibited from this, you might end up without a job. This could force you into poverty, and you might lose everything you own.
For example, if you are a dentist and are not allowed to start your own practice or work for another dental practice, it could ruin your career. The only option you might have if the non-compete agreement was enforceable would be to move to a new city or state. This would not be fair to you, which is one of the reasons a court may find that the agreement you signed is not enforceable.
Are You Infringing On Trademarks Or Trade Secrets?
The final factor your attorney will consider is whether you are using any of your ex-employer's trade secrets or trademarks. Even if the non-compete agreement is unenforceable, you will not be able to infringe on any types of intellectual property rights of the employer.
This not only includes the company's trademarks and copyrights, but it also includes any trade secrets you learned while you worked there. In addition, you do not have the right to steal customer lists, vendors, or other information from your ex-employer and use it for your advantage.
Using any of these things would constitute unfair competition, and this could make it hard for you to win your case.
If you are being sued for unfair competition, you will need a lawyer to help you fight this. You should look for a lawyer that offers services in commercial litigation, and he or she will help you understand your rights. You can also visit sites like http://wfactorlaw.com to learn more.

In the not-too-distant future, your bank will be able to prevent fraud by learning how you type, your car will unlock when it senses the electrical activity of your heart and the security system at your office will recognize your facial features.
That's according to experts in the field of biometrics, which identifies a person by measuring unique characteristics such as their fingerprints, their retinas or their voice.
But these types of distinctive identification processes offer more than the promise of a higher degree of security than traditional passwords.
Biometrics will also free consumers from the need to memorize a myriad of characters — a convenience that will appeal to anyone who needs to access a secure computer or network regularly.
"People are having to jump through more and more hoops to create a secure authentication," says Karl Martin, the CEO of Nymi, a Toronto-based startup that created a wristband that can identify its wearer based on their electrocardiogram, or the electrical activity of their heart.
Banks — and the financial services industry, more broadly — have been one of the quickest adopters of biometrics technology, given their strong need for security and identity verification, says Bianca Lopes, director of strategy at BioConnect. Financial institutions are subject to stringent regulation on "things like know-your-client and anti-money laundering," said Lopes, whose company helps businesses integrate biometrics technologies across various channels.
Royal Bank is currently testing out technologies such as iris scanning, face recognition, speech recognition and fingerprint scans, and is expecting to roll out the features to customers in 2017.
Martin says Nymi has completed successfulpilot projectsalongside RBC and TD Bank to test out how its wristband can be used to verify purchases, while MasterCard recently launched a service that allows users to verify their identities with their smartphones by taking a selfie or using a fingerprint scanner.
Notably, it's the popularity of the fingerprint scanner on Apple iPhones that's made consumers more comfortable and familiar with biometrics, said Dennis Gamiello, vice-president of identity solutions at MasterCard.
Biometrics can also identify users based on how they behave — for instance, their typing patterns or the way that they swipe across the screen on a mobile device.
"The way that you actually interact with the phone, the way that you swipe the phone,… it's fairly unique to you," explained Eddy Ortiz, RBC's vice-president of innovation and solution acceleration.
In the future, behavioural biometrics could even be used to detect if a fraudster has somehow gained access to your bank account, Lopes adds.
While identity verification is important, the capabilities of biometrics go beyond that function, Martin notes. The technology can also be used to create personalized environments — by setting the thermostat to your preferred temperature, for example — at your home, the office or a commercial space.
"We're looking at how can identity be used to create completely personalized experiences," Martin said, pointing to cars as an example.
Experts concede that for some users, the technologies may evoke scenes from the popular science fiction film Minority Report — a Tom Cruise mystery-thriller, which features a future of nearly boundless technological advancements designed to protect its citizenry.
"There will be consumers who get creeped out," said Krista Jones, head of work and learning at the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto.
Ultimately, though, the technology gives consumers a greater guarantee that their private information will be kept safe, she added.
