UIDAI’s Biometric Technology Ready to Achieve Scale and High Accuracy for Country’s 1.2 Billion Populations | Vadvert - UK Paid Press Release Distribution Service

2012-01-27T07:30:00.000-05:00

UIDAI’s Biometric Technology Ready to Achieve Scale and High Accuracy for Country’s 1.2 Billion Populations | Vadvert - UK Paid Press Release Distribution Service: Shri.Nandan Nilekani, Chairman, UIDAI said “The UIDAI biometric system is processing over 100 trillion biometric person matches with a high degree of accuracy each day capable of issuing 10 lakh Aadhaars daily. This makes it not only one of the most accurate but soon to be the largest biometric system in the world.”

Blogger's note: This exponential biometric ID growth will continue to develop quickly throughout the world. India has been the guinea pig and has been found to be successful. Other countries will be envious of India's success and quickly follow suit. Look for the fingerprint portion to soon be replaced with palm vasculature scans which are much more efficient, accurate and require no physical contact. A global database is now considered within reach and manageable.

A Review of the Awakening video from Jews For Jesus

2012-01-18T13:10:00.003-05:00

Jews For Jesus, as their name indicates, is a group of Jewish people (with support from non-Jewish people) sharing the fact that Jesus is the Messiah with Jewish people. They have about twenty branches around the world. JFJ has every earthly reason to be indirect, but they aren’t. For heavenly reasons, they purposely keep things right up front. Even in the streets of New York City.

That’s what they’ve been doing since 1974 and that’s what they’ll be doing this summer. The JFJ annual Summer Witnessing Campaign will hit the streets and subways of NYC in July. For 2012, the campaign title is Awakening. With passionately committed and courageous young people (and some not so young), JFJ will make Y’shua (Jesus) the Messiah an unavoidable topic of discussion to as many people as possible.

There are roughly two million Jewish people living in NYC, making it the most diverse and highest Jewish population of any city in the world. JFJ is taking the gospel of Jesus Christ the Lord to these Jewish people and also to the non-Jewish. NYC is likely the most challenging and opinionated environment for Jewish evangelism, other than Israel.

Some organizations exist to funnel money to Jewish people, but exclude the gospel of the Messiah. JFJ makes the messiahship of Jesus the highest priority message, mode and method. They know that the best help to offer anyone is to help them to be reconciled to the Messiah. JFJ excels at doing that highest good for the Jewish people.

Awakening is a creative campaign involving literature, music, drama, secular media outreach and social media evangelism. JFJ will soon release their Awakening video. The Awakening video is a lively, well done introduction to the Awakening campaign where they will display their theme on their t-shirts and openly ask the all-important question, “Who is He?” The Awakening video is an inspiring look at their valiant effort to communicate the messiahship of Jesus in English and Hebrew. JFJ will attempt to hand out over forty thousand gospel tracts with contemporary, humorous and very concise messages with impact. QR (Quick Response) codes on the backs of some t-shirts are shown directing those that scan them to introductory videos to JFJ and the Messiah. The Awakening video shows the campaigners carrying JFJ labeled shoulder bags full of tracts. Pep talks are shown often ending with the uplifting words, “Give ‘em heaven!” Some of the seasoned members of JFJ are shown preparing the current generation of future JFJ leaders. You’ll see weekly meetings where all are invited to learn more about the Messiah Jesus. Sometimes a rabbi will attend to challenge them. You’ll witness their daily devotional times where JFJ campaign workers recharge their batteries for their long days. The Awakening video lets you see the “Sortie Cards” used to gather information from the few willing people on the streets. “Sortie” is an appropriate word, since JFJ is attacking against Satan’s position in people’s lives and souls.

Can believing Mormons become Jews? | Jews and Mormons | Jewish Journal: Righteous Gentiles are people who adopt Jewish beliefs and practices without converting to Judaism. In my opinion, this is the best option for Mormons who feel a strong affinity and love for Jews and wish to identify with them. It allows these church members to become “Jewish” while respecting the theological integrity of both faith traditions.

Blogger's note: Based upon this LDS leader's statements, when members of LDS have a desire to identify with the Jewish people, they should become Righteous Gentiles, also called Noahides. This will likely occur soon, en masse.

Southern Times - The death of the US dollar

2011-09-07T06:35:00.000-04:00

Southern Times - The death of the US dollar: The US dollar has long been considered the traditional benchmark currency for international trade but that base is being fast eroded.

Blogger's note: Actually, it's likely that the U.S. Dollar will remain the main currency. But, it will simply become a benchmark for a global electronic currency that will no longer be controlled by the U.S. The "new world electronic currency," or whatever it may be called, will simply be electronic trade units based upon what was called the U.S. Dollar. This will eventually require a world biometric ID system for each individual to be able to buy, sell or trade. This will likely be based upon iris scans and palm vasculature scans. These two protocols are quickly emerging as the biometric ID leaders among noninvasive methods. Watch.
