Blood Magic
In darkened haunted land, far from the good graces of Caledonia, riding slowly in the night, a vampire of great sorcery had come upon his favorite trap and resting place, a cemetery on the edge of a deep and thick forest within viewing distance of a greatly dense mist. Approving of the location, he began a great demon summoning ceremony and from his acts, he raised three satanic messengers, winged and black in all color, from clothes to features of frame. With an unspoken breath from the supernatural master, they began gliding among the burial ground, their bloody feet dragging the dew-soaked overgrowth, looking for open doors on monuments and chapels.
One of them finds one opened and eerily squawks like a dying vulture, and in a shadow of concealment, he carries himself to the sound and into the chamber. On the surface of a stone altar, he grabs and sacrifices one and let it lay intact, but opened and with flow of dark and substantial black blood. His premonition becomes alert and he walks out as he makes his shadow conceal his presence.
A werewolf enters and the wicked spell master grabbed the lupine man by the jowl and put his finger on its mouth, and made hushed the lower fiend. The beast understands and the vicious man leaves it to feast on the slain minion, raised from hell and sacrificed in its name.
It is here that our friend begins to walk past the graveyard deep in the field, the painted black servants begin to notice as well as does the conjurer, and the demons begin to taunt the paranoia of the walker in the night by scraping stone and vaulting small-dislodged stones into the meadow. As the passerby begins to call and question, requesting a showing of good faith by any other passer in the night, one of the black hearted ghosts topples a large stone grave post into his way just outside the fence.
The werewolf has long since become aware of the midnight walker, and without fear of an evil force that had not yet killed him along side two flying things, he jumped into the path of the midnight stranger.
The demons flew around him, high above the small cemetery, under the brightly shining moon, and used their heat vision to burn a circle, through the cast iron fence and across the stones, around him and his new foe.
His own mouth laced his fangs as he gave a menacing smile to the hound of hell, but for a brief moment he prayed to the moon, looking up for a brief moment and down again rubbing his hands together as if washing them in the moonlight. His hands turned outstretched from his coat to reveal his hands turning to malicious claws.
His enhanced senses could let him hear the slightest step and he could tell that the beast had an animal's frenzy. If in fact this monster were fast enough to surprise him or disconnect from his sight, even in the most drastic of moments, he would be able to reclaim his focus. However, the other evil creatures of the night had begun to gather at the edge of the forest and from their graves and question, making a subtle but distracting lull of whispers and confident conjecture. He worried and balanced his wagers with his own confidence.
Without a sound he drew a sword of eastern edges, he drew it to his own shoulder and sliced down the sleeve of his red velvet trench, as the jacket fell away he parsed the sword to the other hand and let his coat fall and finally grabbed the sword w/ both hands taking a battle stance. There had not been a sound except for when the coat hit the ground. The weapon, crafted with fine skill, had a golden handle with blood worked into the engraving and its owner was attempting to dazzle the eyes of the opponent with the moon in the metal's reflection.
With a slow and labored pace that sank into the ground and was as loud as trees falling, the monster began to run. each step as it began to gain momentum, shook the ground beneath our hero, it ran to the side of him though, grabbing a tombstone as it lunged past the ground the stone rested and with a twist lunged the small monument that the demons had rested to watch them battle. It missed our hero but flew into the dark wood, scaring off the animals of the forest, leaving mostly the shadow beasts and serpent men watching. He could now see that his enemy had wolf form, but stood, you could see it in its face, but the hindquarters looked like those of a stretched dog.
With countenance of aggression and determination, the dog of war lunges towards him, with claws fangs and tattered clothes. In a count of three strikes, the wolf man was defeated. First, a dodged arm lancing the beasts arm, bewildering it, to the left of the hero, a clockwise twist and reversal of grip to make a stabbing motion behind him, stabbing the werewolf in the stomach, and a counterclockwise twist and strike downward with a strong upper arm to sever the head, as if it were a rehearsed dance move. He looked to the winged beasts perched elsewhere than had previously, one of the sinister angels, losing blood from its feet, looks to him and points to the spectating few left in awe and makes it attack the others with some outward appearance of mind control.
But it all had been a glamour, he was lifted up by the neck, by a man in a long coat and tall collar, having fangs and darkened eyes, the kind that the sleepless living dead obtain, with sword in hand he struck the man in the face, but had no more luck than a stave to a statue would. He struck once more without avail, at the third strike the dark stranger snatched the sword from him and threw it into the black hearted angels now lurking, no longer perching on a stone monolith. The promptly dispelled weapon lodged into one of the demon knights, which killed or at least wounded one of them but only just as soon as the other immediately began to feast with the ravaging claws of a evil spirit tearing into the lying body looking for delectable organs, from the fallen one.
He tried with pyrokenisis but the flames only set the ground afire around the vile oppressor outward, passing past through or around the evil contractor. The scavenging demon cuts itself on the sword, lodged in its meal. The morose villain with his free hand reaches towards the bloody gnarled creature feasting on its cohort, and as it looks up it begins to screech and shrill into the night as the master of darkness purges its blood. The dark winged nightmarish creature had not died, but when the wrathful conjuring ended, it painted itself with the blood it had lost and the blood of the other. Groaning with pain the thing showed great signs of fear and intimidation.
With a confused and bewildered warrior vampire in his clenches, he recites an ancient and cryptic incantation. The blood running his face, covering his body, and dripping from his boots to the wet grass, turned to ashes and the dark stranger placed him unto the ground. He reached upward staring at him as he checked his throat and affects, and lightning struck his hand, the storms began to brew and thunderous clouds began to roll over the scene. As the light passed along the ground into the distance, many werewolves had begun to gather. They stay anchored in the shadows of the distance, and the warlock walks to the sword, with the shadows always surrounding him.
His towering presence begins to cause madness in the strange and lost dark demonic angel. He swiftly grabs the dark angel off guard, the same as he had the swordsman, and drank its blackened blood from its neck. It had been a pleasing snack, as it seemed the vampire lord was happily afflicted and though the wound of the flyer was fast healing, it had been an intoxicating bite. It began twitching, festering, finally clawing at itself, off, and hobbling at first but running off into the clouded distance through the gate of the death yard. Most flustered it began to beat its wings as it fled, flustering and flailing. As it crossed the field it leapt upward only to bleakly fall again, each time gaining more distance and height but before its pinnacled flight, one of the dogs who would be men, leapt into the air and seized it, pouncing it down as the others rushed in to quarrel for their share or rummage for scraps. Like bird on fire, it had failed to launch and was a meal to the creatures of the land.
Intimidation at this point could be a subtle substitute for the stranger in the night. Through all of this, he had time to ponder briefly the inhuman speed, unearthly reflexes, vertical ascension, and silent motion of the sanguinary now standing before him looking puzzled as a small boy at a city shop window.
The drinker of blood reached out to the hero and he felt paralyzed and stricken, in such condition moved by some unknown manner into a monolithic wall in the cemetery as the villain walked towards him, dragging the dead wolf man. he rips the arm from it and approaches than lets blood all over the victims face, but at the same time the head of the wolf aged into near dust before his eyes. The entire memory of the battle, from both sides, coursed through his thoughts like a river breaking across a road he had known well.
The beast laughs near silently and begins to paint symbols in blood, around his head, and speaking in an ancient tongue. In magic's way he had cast demonic strength on the holy warrior of now scattered faith. Unexpectedly and unannounced, another of the werewolves leapt into the cemetery with an ominous and loud landing, and with only one magic dreaded word, the wolf's still beating heart was in the hand of the spell master. The wolf began to kick and stretch in a horrible way as if to have Hyde's rage, but with no providence, the wolf collapsed from an already dying pose.
Ripping the heart in two, with his bare hands, which ended in talons, he spread the blood over the now newly cursed passerby, with the other half he began laughing once more, and running towards the woods edge, to a pale horse. He rides closer and bites into the heart; the horse under him was restless with incredible fear and began to show it more and more. He stops his walk just before the swordsman and says nothing but the shadow of him and the horse are terribly restless.
With another unholy dialogue, he points out into the countryside and laughs one final candor, throws the half-scourged lupine heart to his feet and rides swiftly away along the dense tree line, and into the woods at the wide trail in the distance.
07 October 2009
On his 99th year, he was at a lack of mercy and the losing end of a battle with a 10-year-old mage prodigy sent by the druids to save their people from banishment into the sea. In an action of desperation he had made a deal with the tall reaper, the one who always remained cloaked and carrying sickle, the harbinger of sorrow, to purchase the sand from the hour glass of an almost century old tyrant of the viking folk.
On Asgard, he had been the skilled presenter of parlor tricks and for his time and tiding, he had learned a few magics to lengthen his years and his hair, but father time had caught up with him. For his many malicious acts of haste and ill repute by gambling his life away in a constant act of desolation only a true warlord could afford, and for his poor judgment, Athena who has noticed the unbalance Odin has caused to her planet sends him to hell.
He is confused but is quick to notice the population of vile inhabitants. He begins to war, slashing, breaking, bewildering hell spawn of manic strength, causing terror with the strength of his will to those that would cloud his mind with mystic ability. bashing, cutting, and no amount of moonlight healing would save him as he slices and crushes one beast form after the next, each eager to feast on his lively hood as they crawl over head and underfoot of each other, some not so closely resembling men, to reach him and defeat the axe fighter.
He fights until he can see the edges of the hell fold in, one corpse at a time. He fights until the number diminishes in his favor, never flushing, never feigning. He notices the center of the herd of hellions holds a dark region; he drudges towards swinging and lancing one dark demon after another, until only the final guardians remain surrounding the black pillar of radiant smoke, rising from the mounting pile of lifeless bodies at the center of this war field of masterpiece death. They stand low in the shoulder and straddling the ground, if not crawling on three or four of their limbs. They seemed dried like leather in the summer sun, weak and powerless, and overly feeble in appearance. They prove to be formidable as their appearance reveals to be deceiving and their attacks combined and often embraced doubling and tripling the effects of their attacks. His armor begins to show heavy damage, his hide battle scorn but his skill is unparalleled on this day and he wins and fells the last of the beasts.
The darkness rises upward; it echoes a silence that consumes the sound of the air. He kneels in the blood and bone and semi-human bodies that blanket the coil. Pride and energy rush through his veins and he assesses the havoc he has caused. Fear rushes him as he looks to the sky which has been stricken black above a ground glowing almost white, dimly so through the endless chasm of blood. Without the breaking of the fire from the hell of life's foretelling tales of yore, toiling at him like ravens or crows attacking the sparrow hawk; he kneels in the wrath of his war of hell. He rests his axe down leaning the handle to his leg, prepared for a sudden attack. His thirst has overcome him and he drinks from the red passion blood and anger that painted the basin.
Awestruck he wanders through the fields of euthanasia, finding empathy for those we cannot find, mourning those we cannot sake. That which remains is only the ample supply for bonfires and a lack of camps that lined an endless field of bodies that seemed to float on a sea of blood. The man of wounds walks across them and through the red, deep red, deepest red to a dying fire. The dwindling fire that gives smoke is also, where a spy of the dark lord dances above the flame in the smoke though he cannot see or hear it, unaffected by the heated currents of air, singing a happy song and playing a harp, staring directly at him.
He looked to where the radiant tower of dark light had shown, it had neither a vacuous nature nor an absence of form, and had become an obsidian throne. He thought of a happier place with whimsical muses, as he surveyed the elegant seat perched on a hill of fallen soldier of the afterlife. Solemn to the tale, the hall of violent disaster began to rumble with a heartbeat. Staring at a passing heaven of blue sky and white water clouds that reflected on the sky of hell, hoping for the mind to return from blindness, confused and stiff he rises to his feet and walks uphill to the throne of benevolence only paces away.
Every fire smoldering and each conflict spent, the field is empty but with the meter of the heartbeat, it glows red and flashes with the sound, synchronized with each sound the heartbeat made. Through a field of ravaged chaos and appropriate anarchy, mending mental wounds and breaking bones of every sort underfoot. As the wounds ended their bleeding, only the pain can remind of existence. Righteously he takes ascension to the throne, its power of sage time and divinity turns the hell into a searing white brightness.
Valhalla now holds only heroes, not observers.
executive division
nationalist health-care of the so called right. we are the consumer, what we say goes. the easiest route to success would be to bend the rules to aid ourselves, but only certain changes will be made to the health-care industry guarantor processes and procedure. but it would put the patient in control, individual policies, an exchange, a welfare option to produce competitive pricing. i don't understand being fined for not buying into a coverage option, but maybe the big pharmaceutical industry has promised to only bribe, i mean lobby, if such a clause is included. if so i think a sanity clause should be included for those driven to madness by health-care assurances to be given free drugs anytime someone mentions the word politics.
socialist healthcare of the so called left. i understand, big brother can shoulder in the protection, threaten a provider of coverage or care, if certain expectations are met, but if this is true, any retaliation would be met, face to face, by the patients, not the politicians. the recipients would be fodder for a political war.
its much easier to protect the consumer, not so much on the side of ethics, but consumer electronics don't rip off the political ecologists. i mean to say, instead of waiting in line, American consumers get immediate treatment, one logical step is to make it affordable. socialize, nationalize, or idealize, health-care is a goal for everyone who doesn't jump out of airplanes.
socialist health-care would mean, raising the rates, the taxes, to cover the means, even if the cost of living wages standard has not increased. nationalist care provides coverage none can meet in a financial melting pot, and this situation has driven the consumer into a corner. socialist medicine has lines, and shortages, and because the tab comes before the revenue in socialist countries, the simpler and less apparent problems go overlooked and unnoticed, until the next fiscal cycle, or that is until the next round comes up and the bill has gone down. socialist medicine holds people back from the starting line of health-care. how strong must you be before your illness, as a stock market mentality of what heaven's humanity should be, keeps pushing back the aid or the arrival of state of the art options due to cost.
the executive division is what it's called when a people cant decide on this simple outcome. we wait. big brother still tells us we owe him money for having our children, and we wait. politicians become known for being great obstacles of social justice, and we wait. off a cliff or out a window, aristocratic bureaucrats should be dealt with accordingly. nationalist care and you provide affordable care, socialist and you afford providable care, or denizen and you dream of medicines already invented being brought to your home in the impoverished world. every moment of abstinence is time lost stabilizing economic value and emotional fortitude.
whichever side of the aisle you reside, i want you to know that not choosing one or the other is torture, through and through. the ability to produce coverage is there and we wait.

Bachelor of Arts in Information and Computer Sciences from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Magna Cum Laude
I worked at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Social Science Research Institute to develop a Flash game which educates children about Hawaii's coral reef.
I worked at Neopets.com initially as a web graphic designer to design and develop sponsor microsites and banner ads. I later became a multimedia developer to develop Flash games and applications such as Spacerocked!, The Great Desert Race, Ultimate Bullseye II, and Cooty Wars. I also added new features to various sponsor games that had about a one-week turnaround.
I worked at Disney Interactive Media Group to develop a CMS-driven Flash application that communicates with back end services and generates the user interface and sets its functionality at runtime. This Flash application has been integrated with several Disney websites and has served as their centralized front end codebase for login and registration. I also set it up with automated testing in Selenium.
I worked at Meteor Games to assist in the development of Island Paradise, a social game on Facebook, including the development of the task system, birthday mini game, and support for new items and features that were released on a weekly basis.
I worked at The Cimarron Group, an interactive digital agency, to lead or assist in the development of several websites and games for movies such as the Frankenweenie mobile site, Ice Age 4: Continental Drift, Hunger Games, Breaking Dawn, Mirror Mirror, and Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, as well as maintenance and new features for websites such as MLife and MGM hotels.
I currently work at SupplyFrame, a tech company that provides web solutions for the electronics industry. I assist in the development of new features and maintenance in Hackaday.io, a social network for people who like to build things. Previous projects included assisting in the development of Datasheet.net, a search engine for datasheets with a snip-and-annotate-and-share tool, and Frame-It.com, a website to organize your research materials.

Financial Services
The United Nations Office on Drug and Crime estimates that the amount of money laundered globally in one year is about 2-5% of global GDP, or $800 billion to $2 trillion in current US dollars.
A comprehensive report, some years ago, by the FATF (Financial Action Task Force), an independent inter-governmental body that develops policies to protect the global financial system against money laundering and terrorist financing, focused specifically on the vulnerabilities of the casino and gaming sector when it came to both issues, and made a series of recommendations that needed to be put in place to try and prevent both money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The FATF recommendations are recognized as the global anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) standard.
The Basel Committee was very clear that KYC guidelines were not to be restricted to banks, but would be applicable to all non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs). Professional intermediaries of financial services, like lawyers and accountants, also needed to be guided by KYC norms, to know not just their customers or clients, but also the source of their money, and the use of the proceeds from that money, within reason.
You, as a provider of a financial service, whether a bank, an insurance company, a mortgage broker or a casino — recognized under law as a NBFI or non-bank financial institution or not — need to be able to try and do five critical functions:
- Know Your Customer (or Client) is who they say they are.
- Know, to the best of your ability, that the source of the money they are storing, saving, or spending with or through your systems or services is legally acquired.
- Keep track of that money while it is in your possession, physically or virtually, and file a suspicious activity report for any transaction that raises questions, or a pattern of activity that is unusual or questionable.
- Create an audit trail for all events and transactions related to the client/customer, in order to protect yourself and your organization, and be able to recreate a chain of custody if required, at a later date.
- Know within reason that the use of the proceeds from money made through the use of your services and systems, is not going toward illegal purposes.
Our products, modules, systems and solutions give organizations the tools to help prevent money laundering, keep track of transactions, and create incident logs.
Our products also give financial services organizations the ability to quickly verify identities of individuals, check documentation and the validity of that documentation, and provide any available conviction/arrest history of a potential licensee in operational real time, thus helping protect these institutions from legal, financial, reputational and other risks, and helping protect the overall integrity of banking and non-bank financial systems.
VisualCasino is our most easily identifiable product in the Casino & Gaming world, and the first product interface of its kind in the Security & Surveillance space.
Read More
VisualCasino or VC has been the industry leader in using facial recognition algorithms to analyze streaming video within casinos in order to detect known cheats and advantage players, and is the interface for casinos between SSIN — our all new, wholly encrypted Security & Surveillance Information Network; CID — the new, encrypted Composite Intelligence Database (what was formerly the Casino Information Database has been integrated into the new CID as a separate subset); X-LST — the private database list (similar to what was formerly known as PDE); AFR — our Advanced Facial Recognition module, and LOGiT, an IR system specifically created for security teams, and to allow for security and surveillance records to be tied together for better operational and auditing ability.
As a standalone product, VC has some very specific modules, such as device cheating and training games, but it is best utilized as an interface in conjunction with other systems and modules.
ThreatSafe evolved from the need for a comprehensive interface that would look beyond the casino and gaming sector to industries where forensic analysis of events was as important, if not more, than incidents monitored in real-time.
Read More
ThreatSafe is the interface between several players: SSIN — our all new, wholly encrypted Security & Surveillance Information Network; CID — the new, encrypted Composite Intelligence Database; X-LST — the private database list (similar to what was formerly known as PDE); AFR — our Advanced Facial Recognition module, and LOGiT, an IR system specifically created for security teams, and to allow for security and surveillance records to be tied together for better operational and auditing ability.
ThreatSafe grabs frames off streaming video and compares them to pictures in the overall network database, using both SSIN and CID images. It built upon the success of VisualCasino — an industry leader in using facial recognition algorithms to analyze frames from streaming video within casinos in order to detect known cheats and advantage players — and has used that technology to build what should become an industry leading position in Fraud Mitigation and Link Analysis of criminals and their known associates.
SSIN (Security & Surveillance Information Network)
The SSIN is a fully encrypted, peer-to-peer private information system, which allows for the notification of people, events, alerts or warnings, and for the building of a community of authorized surveillance, security and other law enforcement professionals.
Read More
The SSIN works at two levels. At one level, it is an unfiltered and encrypted real-time alert system, which enables a community of authorized security and surveillance professionals to share information on various undesirables with other customers with access to the SSIN, from private clients to regulatory authorities to law enforcement agencies.
At a second level, the SSIN is managed out of Biometrica's Fusion Center, our global security and surveillance operations center, in Las Vegas. At this level, alerts sent out by the Fusion Center represent notifications that have already been separately received, collected, amalgamated and analyzed, using a network of national security and intelligence professionals and private investigators. This is near real-time but not immediate, because of the need to validate the data received.
At both levels, it is a fully encrypted private information system, which also has the ability to incorporate shared watch-lists from different outside groups and intra-organizational watch-lists.
In November 2016, we announced a new version of the SSIN, with functionalities that include a secure, convenient mobile application, which will, with a couple of clicks, give any subscriber with access to the mobile app the ability to run an immediate scan on a suspicious known or unknown person, anywhere on their property, and receive feedback on that person or persons in operational real time.
Over the next few months, other enhanced features will give subscribers the ability to run operational real-time facial recognition scans of individuals on their property against a law enforcement-verified database of criminals — a database that includes known thieves, drug and human traffickers, sex offenders, gang members, murderers, terrorists and white-collar criminals.
The mobile platform will allow subscribers to track suspicious activity as it happens, instead of doing only forensic, post-facto analysis (which will be available, in any case to all subscribers).
The SSIN works by signaling another entity or entities — depending on how the sending entity has chosen to have it set up for that particular transmission — that an individual or group of interest has been spotted. The peer-to-peer network, at any given time, could be from one private client-to-another, a private client to a regulatory body or to everyone else on the system, or from federal/state/local law enforcement to any of the participants, or be restricted to within a particular organization.
You can limit that information to a 1:1 mini-network, a 1:Many network, or to a 1:Subset (within an organization or geographical area). By using our private network, our clients can identify known people, as well as suspects and persons of interest well in advance, to prevent the occurrence of criminal events, or track them later.
CID (Composite Intelligence Database)
The Composite Intelligence Database is an encrypted, searchable repository of information on individuals or groups. Each file has attached dynamic attributes pulled from various intelligence sources instead of being just a static record, in order to enable that file to be updated on an immediate basis, and each individual in the system is "tagged."
Read More
Over time, the concept of what constitutes a CID has evolved. From the first little "black books" or blacklists distributed by Nevada's gaming regulatory bodies that were the first casino information databases, to CDs of blacklisted individuals updated once a quarter, from our own Casino Information Database into what is now a wholly digital interactive, updatable, searchable product.
It is a database of information made up of case files on a variety of criminal elements, individuals and groups, from thieves to traffickers to terrorists, and their known associates, updated immediately from different sources, as soon as that information is made available through the SSIN, or from outside watch-lists, including national and international law enforcement, and international agencies, after verification.
The new CID does not have to be stored locally, it is stored in a private, encrypted repository operated out of the Biometrica Fusion Center in Las Vegas. It has been developed to allow you to maximize your access to current information about criminal elements, or politically enhanced people, and meet your Know Your Customer requirements, by providing a database you can run your background check against.
The access to data is dependent on the kind of subscription you have. All customers will have access to law enforcement verified data on convicted felons, available arrest data, and to law enforcement wanted lists.
However, a retail establishment, or a hotel that is not connected to a casino, would not have the right to data on a card cheat, or an advantage player, unless that card cheat or advantage player is wanted for a felony or has been convicted for it.
Similarly, a big box store might have a shoplifter that has been added to the database by that retail establishment, a person that has received a warning but has not been handed over to law enforcement authorities. The store might decide to keep an eye on him or her, and put him or her on their X-LST (see X-LST), as a blacklisted individual.
They could opt to alert other retail establishments about this customer, but that alert or person would not show up as a case file for anyone not connected to that particular establishment or to retail customers they have set up an alert for, and other subscribers will not be able to pull that information into the Advanced Facial Recognition system if that person hasn't been convicted of an offense.
X-LST is critical functionality — it is a dynamic database secured privately for each client at the individual organizational level. X-LST is similar to what was formerly PDE or Private Database Enrolment for clients, except that it is a far more advanced version, encrypted and secured through the Biometrica Fusion Center, and having a range of access controls that restrict access to individual X-LSTs.
Read More
No one else can see anything you've added to any of your private X-LSTs, these lists are only available to your specific property or organization and can be separately maintained for a range of individual needs: Current/Ex Employees, Advantage Players, Corporate Whitelists & Blacklists, Barred Patrons, VIPs, Self-Exclusions, Escort Services, Shoplifters, Drug Dealers etc.
An organization will have the ability to share an X-LST, either in part of whole, between various properties or regions within a larger organization. It will also have the ability to restrict access to that X-LST within that organization, at the individual, departmental, section, or property level. It can also choose to share that X-LST with other organizations or regions, that choice is left to the organizational authorities.
LOGiT is Biometrica's first foray into the security sector, as differentiated from the surveillance sector. It is a Security Management and Incident Reporting (IR) tool, a security-focused IR module that is the basis for the building of a digital case file of every incident at the security level.
Read More
LOGiT allows for security and surveillance records to be tied together at the local level and beyond, through alerts generated by the Security & Surveillance Information Network, locally or otherwise.
It also creates a digital audit trail that monitors updates or modifications to any file. Anytime a piece of data on an individual is seen or updated, it tags that individual and attaches the data to them.
It gives investigators and forensic analysts the ability to recreate a timeline, or put together a chain of events at a later date, by answering two basic questions: What Did You Know? And When Did You Know It?
LOGiT can be used in different ways. A security officer could send a local level SSIN alert to check on a questionable letter of credit presented at a property, thus creating a minor Incident Report to keep an eye on it, or send a more broad-based, urgent internal or external SSIN alert, when a potential money launderer, or someone previously known to have committed credit card fraud, is spotted. Those alerts are attached to the individual being tagged, and an incident report is created.
Biometrica's Fusion Center also actively tracks available lists for suspicious individuals, including known sex offenders, and Politically Enhanced Persons (PEPs) or their associates. A security official can create quick, urgent alerts, for instance, when a PEP, a known escort, a person with ties to a drug cartel, an individual or group on a terrorist watch-list, or a known associate of any of these, is spotted.
Logging incidents or events of every kind helps protect your property, your physical and human assets, and the people that patronize your products and services in different ways.
A security team member might, for example, want to be able to proactively, and discreetly, suggest that someone with a previous record as a child sex offender, stay away from a children's play area in a resort, or from the children's toys section in a retail establishment. Or ensure that only certain employees are allowed into a "cash room."
Because you can tailor the alerts at the local level, and control whoever sees those alerts, the potential to successfully and discreetly monitor all situations is immense.
Any SSIN security alert, when entered into the system, also becomes a matter of record for the surveillance team. In the security space, this is a game-changer, allowing security and surveillance records to be tied together, and giving security teams the ability to create blacklists and whitelists for properties, and implement very specific Attribute-Based and Role-Based Access Controls.
AFR (Advanced Facial Recognition)
The DARPA-commissioned, U.S. Department of Defense-developed Advanced Facial Recognition (AFR) module enables security and surveillance personnel to capture images and compare them to pictures already in the Composite Intelligence Database, either directly or through the Biometrica Fusion Center, in order to help identify suspicious patrons or associates prior to potential losses.
Read More
The AFR module also enables security and surveillance teams to capture images of customers or employees and run them against images in various available watch-lists and networks in Biometrica's databases. Our database is based on data feeds from about 2,000 different jurisdictions of verified law enforcement data at the city, county, state level, and federal or international correctional or wanted data.
The new AFR also gives customers the ability to run document scans through our systems. Subscribers with access have the ability to scan drivers' licenses and passports, and verify that the person physically handing over a document to you is the person whose photograph is in the document, and if it is a valid document.
A member of your security team, or any employee with access to the AFR system can take a quick picture of the person standing in front of them, and run that against the photograph on that individual's license. It establishes an audit trail.
With passports, our new AFR module allows customers to have a three-pronged match in operational real time, allowing a check on whether a person standing in front of someone (the physical person), matches the printed photograph in the passport, matches the photograph in the chip embedded or stored in the passport.
UMbRA stands for Unique Mission to Build Records and Arrests. Think of it as any web search engine, except a search engine that is focused only on people that have been arrested, convicted of a crime, or wanted by law enforcement for one. It allows you to run searches on faces as well as texts and is sourced 100% from law enforcement data.
Read More
With the amount of data out there on the Internet, when you run a general search on someone's name to check their background, you're not quite certain whether the data you get is authentic information or not.
A search engine works by showing you all available data on whoever you've run a search on. You have no idea if the information you're looking for will be on page 1 or page 51 of the search. You'd have to double-check all of it to verify the sources of that information, make sure that person is the same person you're looking for (complicated if you're looking for someone with a fairly common name), and it is often a time-consuming process. It could take hours, if not days.
UMbRA only tracks records of arrests and convictions, in addition to different law enforcement-sourced lists, including and not limited to lists like most-wanted fugitive lists and sex offender registries. It tracks nothing else and no one else. It sources data only from U.S. city, county, state, federal, and tribal law enforcement, in addition to international law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Additionally, it will give you an answer in seconds, or in near-operational real-time — when Mr. or Ms. X is standing in front of you, or you know where he or she or they are. Because UMbRA doesn't use any data not sourced from law enforcement, there's no ambiguity about this information, it's already verified.
In addition, if you have a face, and not a name, UMbRA allows you to upload a photograph of Mr. X and run that image against our database of millions, to check whether someone with Mr. X's likeness is among the arrest, conviction or wanted data we currently have.
UMbRA allows you to run text or image (facial recognition) scans against that 100% law enforcement database, in near real time, from across state lines. Why is this needed? Because crime and criminals travel across county, state, and country boundaries, information doesn't always travel, and you, as a security or surveillance professional, or an investigator, do not always have easy access to other jurisdictional information databases in real-time.
UMbRA, on the other hand, is available as a simple online search engine, and a mobile app. You can click a picture of Mr. X from your phone and immediately run a search on that picture. Or you can run a search on a name, see what options you get, and quickly sift through those options.
It helps you know whether someone is actually who they say they are, it helps you know if you're walking into a situation where the person you're meeting or tailing has a violent past, and it could help you know if someone you're looking up is not the criminal you think they are.
You can sign up for UMbRA at: https://biometrica.com/shop/.
For more specifics on UMbRA as a product, on how facial recognition works, and on our database, please see the UMbRA FAQ at: https://support.biometrica.com/hc/en-us/sections/115000509473-FAQ.

Endless Food at TGI Fridays Isn't the Only Fun Thing Happening at Restaurants
The new Endless Appetizer promotion from TGI Fridays has received tons of attention on the internet. For a mere $10.00, a person could eat all they want of a single appetizer from the famed TGI Fridays menu. Talk about a group friendly promotion. Clearly, more traditional restaurants are trying to better compete with the hot fast casual chains Chipotle, Panera Bread, and Buffalo Wild Wings. From food trucks to celebrity-chef inspired burgers, Brian Sozzi has found some other creative ways these old school players in the restaurant business are trying to reconnect with customers this summer.


text: CeCe has just fallen asleep after pitching a fit for 3 hours. Again. tonight. Except that today she started at 7 so it's ending a little earlier - yesterday she started about this time. Her psychiatrist is waiting to admit her, if only another child's parents would pick her up - she was discharged hours ago but they are having "car trouble" (or maybe hoping to stretch it for just one more quiet night). husband sat up with her while she screamed and wrecked things in her room. He doesn't get it that she'll quiet down sooner if you don't give her anything to respond to, so he escalates things without knowing he's doing it. And now he's saying "she's asleep, nothing we can do." Like H***!, when the doctor calls, throw her butt into the car - she doesn't have to be awake to be admitted! Which he'll eventually do when I make a stink (so it'll be my fault and he'll be the good guy). And to top it off the guardianship papers are MIA - all of them, so I'm feeling suspicious. It's just the sort of thing that CeCe would destroy if she could. She's deep into the fantasy that she doesn't belong with us and she'd get to go back to her bparents if only we were out of her life. psychiatric hospital says we have to have them unless she's admitted as a "10-13" (same as Baker Act?) even though we provided them last year (ridiculous) - hopefully the psychiatrist will do that. Thankfully the psychiatrist does get it and we've got a decent community mental health support team. It's just a long road to racking up the admissions to get her into Residential Treatment Center (RTC). She tends to act out at night, and we have to weigh the benefits of an exhausting hours long admission process IF there's a bed against the lost sleep and lost work the next day. Thanks for letting me ramble and rant ... PJ

OAKLAND, Calif. — Harold Camping, the California preacher who used his radio ministry and thousands of billboards to predict the end of the world and then gave up public prophecy when his doomsdays came and went, has died at age 92.
Family Radio Network marketing manager Nina Romero said Camping died at his home on Sunday.
Camping's most widely spread prediction was that believers would be taken up to heaven on May 21, 2011. His ministry spent millions of dollars — some of it from donations made by followers who quit their jobs and sold all their possessions — to spread the word. When the Rapture failed to materialize, the preacher revised his prophecy, saying he had been off by five months.
But when the world didn't end in October 2011, Camping acknowledged he had been wrong and posted a letter on his ministry's site telling his followers he had no evidence the end would come anytime soon, and wasn't interested in considering future dates.
MINNEAPOLIS — The head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is stepping aside from public ministry after an allegation that he touched an underage male.
Archbishop John Nienstedt denies the allegations, but is removing himself from ministry pending an investigation.
The archdiocese says the incident allegedly occurred in 2009 after a confirmation ceremony. Nienstedt is accused of inappropriately touching an underage male on the buttocks during a group photography session. The archdiocese learned of the allegation last week and instructed the person who brought it forward to go to police.
In a letter posted Tuesday on the archdiocese website, Nienstedt says the allegation is "absolutely and entirely false." He says he hopes the investigation will be thorough and quick so he can return to work.
WASHINGTON — Some Catholic educators are protesting Catholic University of America's recent acceptance of a $1 million donation from the Charles Koch Foundation, which is affiliated with the libertarian Koch brothers.
The Washington Post reports 50 educators signed the protest letter made public Monday. Signers include the Rev. Stephen Privett, president of the University of San Francisco; Susan Ross, chair of Loyola University Chicago's theology department; and Catholic University theology professor William Barbieri Jr.
The letter says the Koch gift could suggest that what it calls the Koch brothers' "anti-government, Tea Party ideology" has the blessing of Catholic University. The letter says the Koch brothers' advocacy contradicts the church's "traditional social justice teachings."
The university in a letter defended the gift Monday that will support the school of business and economics, saying there were no strings attached. The letter noted that the Koch Foundation donates money to many colleges and charities; and said the grant has not stirred up any controversy on campus.
VATICAN CITY — Four homeless people have helped Pope Francis celebrate his 77th birthday at the Vatican.
They live in the street nearby and were invited to attend the morning Mass which Francis celebrates daily at the Vatican hotel where he lives.
One of the men held his dog as he was presented to Francis after Mass. The Vatican said Francis invited his household help to join him in a "familylike" atmosphere, and he spoke of them one by one during his homily. After Mass, they all ate breakfast with Francis at the hotel.
Francis had already blown out the candles on a birthday cake that was presented to him on Saturday by children at the Vatican.

One of the hottest new toys of 2016 is this Xtreme Cycle Moto-Cam by Wicked-Cool! toys. Right now, it'll not only arrive before Christmas, but it's also just $49.99 (which is $30 off its MSRP). This RC motorcycle comes with a ramp to fly off of, and it is able to capture up to 90 minutes of video with the camera on its helmet. The resolution isn't that great, but it's a fun idea (and your kids won't care that the video isn't HD). It also uses a patented gyroscopic stabilization system to help make controlling it easier, as the motorcycle will always right itself after it falls over. It also has front and rear shocks so that it can absorb tough jumps and rocky terrain. With the controller, users will be able to not only control the motorcycle but also start and stop their videos as needed.

But if yours might be, the Akai MPK MKII is a fantastic music tool that they'll use over and over again.
Price: $69.99 (65 percent off MSRP)

6. Sphero BB-8 with Force Band
Sphero absolutely knocked it out of the park last year with the Sphero BB-8 app controlled droid, and this year, the droid is back with an incredible accessory: the force band. You can buy both the BB8 and Force Band separately, but if they don't have the BB-8 yet, you can buy them as a bundle as well. That bundle will arrive before Christmas, with 2-Day shipping on Amazon Prime. The device has a whopping 4.5 out of 5.0 star review on Amazon from over 1,800 reviewers. It's clear that it's one of the best last-minute Christmas gifts for boys available right now.
Price: $197.00

7. Perplexus Star Wars Death Star
Speaking of Star Wars, there's an awesome Star Wars spin on the classic Perplexus ball, as there's now a Death Star themed one. It's the same concept, but it's designed to look like the death star. It also comes with a display base for when they're not using it.
Price: $27.95

8. SteelSeries Arctis 7 Headset
If they're a gamer, get them one of the best headsets on the market right now: the SteelSeries Arctis 7 Headset. It's biggest selling point is that it can be used for gaming at home or with their mobile phone on the go (without looking like a bulky gaming headset). But, my personal favorite aspect of this headset (which I use myself) is its unprecedented comfort level. While many gaming headsets boast comfort, SteelSeries nailed it with its comfort band that conforms to their head. It also has a premium 3D audio experience thanks to DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround sound on PC (stereo for all other platforms). It looks great, sounds great, and feels great, making it one of the best Christmas gifts for boys in 2016.
Price: $149.99

It's an award-winning hands-on game system that helps to develop their problem-solving skills and their creativity, all while they're using their iPad and having fun playing games.

The Genius Kit has 2-day shipping available, meaning it'll arrive in-time for Christmas morning.

10. Air Hogs Thunder Trax RC Vehicle
Especially if they live in a snowy area, you might want to check out the Air Hogs Thunder Trax RC Vehicle. It can traverse a variety of different terrains, including snow, mud, and even water. That's right — it can be used in the water. In fact, it can basically traverse over anything you want it to, including rocks, sticks, and more. It's so much fun! Right now, it's available for $58.00 (23 percent off of its MSRP), and it'll ship in time for Christmas (it'll be back in stock on the 21st with 2-day shipping).

Fancy Coffee Friday: Take a Deep Breath
Well, Hello, there. Nice to see you. Sit back, relax, have a warm beverage (it's probably cold where you are). Advertisements


text: BREAKING NEWS: Lloyd's takes 'massive hit' Lloyd's of London announced pre-tax profits were down 30% compared with last year as reduced margins in underwriting and lower investment yield hit the business. Pre-tax profit hit $3.9 billion (£2.1bn), compared with $5.6 billion (£3.0bn) in 2014 but gross written premium increased 6% to $50 billion (£26.7bn) compared with $47.4 billion (£25.3bn) last year. In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Lloyd's CEO Inga Beale, explained the two reasons for the hit. "We've taken a double hit from reduced margins in underwriting and lower investment yield," Beale said. "On the investment side we saw a dramatic reduction in 2015 that was a massive hit" to earnings. Higher claims saw the combined ratio rise to 90%, from 88.4% last year, as the explosion at the Chinese port of Tianjin and claims in the energy sector hit the business. Lloyd's chairman, John Nelson, said that the market last year was one of the toughest for many years and in that climate the results remain sound. "Each year brings a unique set of challenges, requiring determination, innovative thinking and solutions," Nelson said. "This year has been no different. "In a market undeniably tougher than seen for many years, we have had to demonstrate our ability to adapt and take action. In these conditions, these results are creditable and a tribute to the continued skill and professionalism of the Lloyd's market underwriting community." Beale continued that the Lloyd's market is needed now more than ever as a diverse range of risks continue to have their presence felt the world over. "Lloyd's is pursuing its strategy to deliver risk solutions to a fast moving world. Business looks to the Lloyd's market to underwrite policies too complex for others to handle. Protection from cyber-attacks, terrorism and climate change are needed now more than ever." Leave a comment SHARE

Chinese manufacturer LeEco released a new smart bike called 'Le Super Bike.' While there are a number of connected bikes on the market, this model comes with unique features that set it apart from comparable products.
Like many other smart bikes, Le Super Bike is equipped with high-tech features such as route-mapping, light signals and speed tracking. However, the bike also boasts some more entertaining features that are likely to appeal to young consumers. For instance, there is a four-inch screen fitted to the handlebars called BikeOS, which acts as a bike-integrated smartphone. In addition to tracking ride data, BikeOS can function as a music player and a phone thanks to its 4G connection. Additionally, the bike comes with an optional camera accessory that allows users to film stunts or scenic rides.
With its creative entertainment features, Le Super Bike is likely to appeal to young consumers interested in e-bike technology.

Petrobras Increases Production from Caravela Sul
Petrobras reports production flow tests from appraisal well SCS-10 A offshore the southeast coast of Brazil in block BS-3. The original Caravela Sul discovery was made in October 2001, when oil was found in three different reservoir zones in exploration well SCS-10 in depths between 4,761 and 5,126 meters. The well was located some 175 kilometers off the coast of Santa Catarina State, in approximately 200 meters water depth.
Three production tests now performed were planned from three separate reservoir zones in the well. Due to technical problems only two of the production tests were completed.
The first test was performed in the lowest of the three reservoir zones named B3 and flowed approximately 3,000 barrels of oil per day using a 3/8 inch choke. Estimated sustainable production from the whole of sub zone B3 is by Petrobras calculated to minimum 6,000 barrels of oil per day. The oil is light and of a very high quality, similar to the quality of the oil from the Coral field under development only around 15 kilometers to the north. (API of around 43 degrees with very low contents of sulphur and heavy metals).
Sub zone B1 was also attempted tested without successful flows. Only fractions of oil were produced from this flow-test. The low production rates were, according to the operator, due to limited permeability in the reservoir in the area of the well.
Due to technical problems in the well sub zone B2 was not tested. Even though this reservoir zone is well known from many years of production in the Caravela field and from production flow testing elsewhere in the area, the non- operating partners has expressed great disappointment with the operator not being able to perform the planned flow-test.
The operator has, primarily as a result of the production test in sub zone B3, made a preliminary revision of the estimates for recoverable reserves in this Caravela Sul discovery to around 60 million barrels of oil, up from their earlier estimates of around 40 million barrels. In a news release on June 25, 2002 the Company announced the results of an independent reserve report concluding with recoverable proven and probable reserves of 26 million barrels of oil for the Caravela Sul discovery. More exact reserve estimates will be prepared and presented after the completion of an ongoing 3D seismic interpretation of the area and a full evaluation study for the flow-test. An independent reserve report will also be prepared in due course.
Despite the disappointing test result for sub zone B1 and the technical non ability to flow-test sub zone B2, the Company is greatly encouraged by the excellent flow-test from sub zone B3 and the substantial preliminary upgrade of recoverable reserves in Caravela Sul. The Joint Venture will now extend the workprogram with appraising the reserves and considering alternative development solutions. Thus, a second appraisal well is now under planning to be drilled later on this spring.
The Coral field under development is still not in production. This is due to a series of technical problems incurred by the operator in preparation for production start up. All the problems are, according to Petrobras, individually of minor nature, but have taken more time to overcome than anticipated. Again according to the operator, all environmental and governmental licenses to start production from the field have been obtained. Petrobras informs that production start is imminent.
Petrobras is the operator of the Block BS-3 and Naftex subsidiary Coplex Petroleo do
