<div align="justify" class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://conspiracaoideologica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/peixinho.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://conspiracaoideologica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/peixinho.jpg?w=294" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Num canto do Brasil, viviam um macaco e um peixinho. O macaco era conhecido por sua extrema bondade e por gostar de ajudar os outros animais daquela mata.</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Naquela floresta tropical nunca fazia frio, tudo era tranquilo e o macaco passeava de galho em galho, procurando alguém para ajudar. Um dia, aproximou-se de um rio e como não sabia nadar ficou observando maravilhado suas águas claras. Viu um pequeno peixe que passeava em busca de alimento, sem se preocupar com a sua presença. O macaco ficou então muito preocupado achndo que opeixe estava com frio e poderia morrer afogado naquele imenso rio. Resolveu ajudar o pobre peixinho. Arriscando-se em cima de um tronco que flutuava, conseguiu agarrar o peixe em seu passeio. Sentiu então que ele estava gelado e pensou no frio que ele, pobrezinho, tinha passado, sem que ninguém o ajudasse. Isso o deixou ainda mais satisfeito com a sua boa ação.</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Depois da operação salvamento, o macaco ainda não estava contente. Acreditava que poderia ajudar ainda mais o pobre peixinho. Decidiu então levá-lo para casa e esquentá-lo em seus pêlos.</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Ao acordar na manhã seguinte, viu que o peixinho estava morto. Ficou triste, mas não se preocupou demais pois sabia que tinha tentado tudo para ajudar o amigo. Consolou-se ainda mais quando concluiu que o peixinho só poderia ter morrido devido a um resfriado que tinha contraído, durante o tempo vivido na água sem a ajuda de ninguém.</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><b>SERÁ QUE AO TENTARMOS SOLUCIONAR O PROBLEMA DO OUTRO, SEM AO MENOS OUVI-LO, ESTAMOS REALMENTE ´AJUDANDO´? SERÁ QUE A MELHOR AJUDA NÃO É AQUELA QUE PRESTAMOS AO LADO DA PESSOA, E NÃO NO LUGAR DA PESSOA? SERÁ QUE A NOSSA COMPREENSÃO DO PROBLEMA ALHEIO É MELHOR DO QUE PRÓPRIA COMPREENSÃO DO OUTRO? SERÁ QUE ENTENDEMOS DE FATO O QUE O OUTRO ESTÁ PASSANDO? </b></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hesitei muito em dividir essa parte do trajeto com vocês. Mas se me comprometo a ser cúmplice nessa jornada, preciso também ser sincera e extremamente transparente.</p>
<p>Eu já morava em Salvador há dois anos e nada disso nunca foi fácil. Aproveitando que passei só pro segundo semestre, fui passar os seis meses de férias lá no interior coladinha com minha família, meus amigos, meu namorado. A volta, por mais que a universidade me encantasse incrivelmente, foi um dos momentos mais complicados da minha vida &#8211; aliás, digo com toda a certeza que superou pais separados, perda de parentes próximos e do meu cachorrinho&#8230; nada nunca doeu tanto quanto estar outra vez sozinha. E sabe quando tudo parece combinar pra dar errado? Pois bem&#8230; A vida lá onde eu morava era um inferno com vista pro mar, eu não tinha qualquer apoio, não tinha ninguém pra conversar, mal via minhas amigas (a vida segue pra lados distintos quando a gente cresce) e ainda não morria de amores por minhas colegas de faculdade (agora morro), fui assaltada, fiquei traumatizada por meses e ainda estou &#8211; toda mota na rua me assusta, o tempo todo acho que alguém ainda me segue, fora que não consegui recuperar tudo quanto eu perdi &#8211; e, por fim, meu namoradinha querido &#8211; que era meu porto em todo essa tormenta &#8211; resolveu terminar. PRONTO! Podia parar o mundo que eu já podia descer&#8230; Foi tudo tão terrível, mas se a gente for parar pra pensar eram só pequenas coisas reunidas, né? Eu estou apenas a 2h de casa, ainda vejo meus amigos nos finais de semana, homem é que nem biscoito (vou pular a rima, valeu?) e nós ainda somos amigos e, quanto aos objetos que o ladrão levou, a gente vai recuperando um a um. Mas, se eu fiquei mal com essas coisas todas, imagino como não se sentem garotas que passam por momentos bem piores que o meu. Então fui procurar informações sobre núcleos de apoio e tal&#8230; Tempo perdido! Sabia que não há um grupo que se reuna pra se cuidar? Tem até pra cometer suicidio coletivo, mas pra se ajudar&#8230; nada. Descobri que a UFBA tem um programa de assistencia psicológica aos alunos e funcionários, mas isto não serve ao mundo. Foi quando, numa dessas coincidências da vida, eu encontrei o C.V.V.!</p>
<p>É um serviço de apoio emocional gratuíto, que funciona 24h, onde você é atendido por pessoas capacitadas a lhe ajudar&#8230; E tudo pode ser feito por telefone, ligando &#8216;114&#8242; de qualquer telefone.</p>
<p>Fica a dica do numero, do site: http://www.cvv.org.br/ e, para os que ainda não chegaram tão fundo, vale a pena ver também como ser um voluntário&#8230; Eu já estou vendo!</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p style="text-align:right;">Beijinhos, e boa sorte.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Following Councillor Chalkley&#8217;s recent introduction of the Verrus pay by phone technology, Wes]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Following Councillor Chalkley&#8217;s recent introduction of the Verrus pay by phone technology, Westminster City Council have never been so desparate to advertise the <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">false</span> merits offered by this new parking payment method. Councillor Chalkley not only has decided to use this technology for car drivers, but also for motorcyclists, thus making Westminster City Council the only local authority in the world that stealth taxes bikers for parking.</p>
<p>If you still have the energy and patience to listen to the usual Westminster spin, then they will tell you that motorists and motorcyclists love the Verrus pay by phone system. That&#8217;s because Councillor Chalkley and his team keep brain washing everyone they come across, including their fellow Conservative Councillors, who enjoy the valued benefit of holding a <a href="http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/city_councils_official_parking_p" target="_blank">free official parking permit</a>, exempting them from using the Verrus pay by phone parking technology on a daily basis. But if you are a victim of Councillor Chalkley, i.e. a resident or visitor of Westminster, you have the unfortunate pleasure of experiencing the <a href="http://ukfrance.org/2009/08/11/ive-tried-10-times-its-not-working/" target="_blank">poorly designed and unreliable Verrus pay by phone system</a>.</p>
<p>Here is an extract of the usual blah blah from Alastair Gilchrist, former parking director at Westminster City Council working for Councillor Chalkley:-</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">&#8220;By using the blend of technology from Verrus with the customer service skills of Converso is the perfect solution to introducing a service that is being readily adopted by the general public.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p>So Mr Gilchrist believes that the Verrus technology provides a service that is readily adopted by the general public. Well, the latest survey conducted by the AA (Automobile Association) seems to prove the opposite. Firstly, people are concerned about their personal security – standing on the road using a mobile phone looking at a sign. Secondly, there is some concern about the security of the system itself &#8211; you have to give credit card details by mobile phone to a call centre. How secure is this? Needless to mention the fact that you have to specify your card&#8217;s CVV number (the security code at the back of your card) if you choose to pay by text message! Thirdly, according to the AA, 59% overall, and 52% of the Londoners surveyed, said they were quite unlikely or very unlikely to use a pay by phone parking system, should this method of payment be introduced in their local borough. But, according to Mr Gilchrist, the pay by phone parking system has been readily adopted by the general public!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s throw in some more Westminster spin, still from Alastair Gilchrist: <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#8220;</span><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">Over two thirds of the sample was satisfied with the new service&#8221;</span>. </em>But according to the AA, nearly 60% of drivers give pay-by-phone parking facilities the thumbs-down. So in other words, slightly more than 1 person out of 3 (i.e. 40%) support the use of pay by phone parking facilities while, according to Mr Gilchrist, more than 2 people out of 3 (i.e. at least 67%) are in favour of this payment method for parking. All this sounds a little inconsistent, doesn&#8217;t it? Would you trust the figures given by Westminster City Council, given that they have proved in the past <a href="http://nutsville.com/?p=545">their inability to add up numbers and present accurate and reliable numerical data?</a></p>
<p>We have delibarately left the best quote for the end, still from Alastair Gilchrist:-</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">&#8220;The beauty of this system is that we have set up a Framework agreement which will enable other Councils to use the same services from Verrus and Converso without an expensive and time consuming procurement&#8221;.</span></em></p>
<p>Absolutely! The whole point of the Verrus pay by phone parking system is to enable Westminster City Council to make more business by &#8220;selling&#8221; its scheme to other councils. What motorists think is irrelevant, Councillor Danny Chalkley is desparate to push through the pay by phone technology to boost his own political career. He&#8217;s also desparate to push through his motorcycle parking tax, for which the only viable method of payment is by using the unpopular Verrus system, to generate yet more income and make the overall scheme even more attractive for other councils. This is what the &#8220;Partners in Parking&#8221; programme (also known as &#8220;PiP&#8221;) is all about. Anything else that Westminster City Council say about the pay by phone technology and the motorcycle parking tax is just pure spin, a desparate attempt to hide the truth and blatantly push though the PiP scheme, by punishing innocent motorcyclists, who are keen to use a mode of transport that alleviates road congestion, air pollution and makes Central London a nicer and more environmentally friendly city.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Ik heb hier al een lange tijd niets meer geschreven, maar wat ik nu juist zag op de site van de tijd]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ik heb hier al een lange tijd niets meer geschreven, maar wat ik nu juist zag op de site van de <a href="http://www.tijd.be/nieuws/binnenland/ACV-voorzitter_pleit_voor_hogere_belastingen.8222813-438.art"> tijd </a> maakte mij zo kwaad dat ik nog eens iets wou schrijven.</p>
<p>ACV voorzitter Luc Corterbeeck denkt dat hij de manier heeft gevonden om de sociale zekerheid te redden!  Hij wil namelijk nog meer belastingen.  Ik weet niet hoe goed Cortebeeck is ingelicht over de hoogte van de belastingen in België en de rest van europa, maar België heeft al zo goed als de hoogste belastingsdruk, denkt het ACV nu echt dat de belastingen nog wat verhogen geld gaat opleveren?  Nja, ik ben nooit een liefhebber van vakbonden geweest, maar dat het ACV zo ver weg is wist ik nog niet.</p>
<p>Laat me even verduidelijken wat er gaat gebeuren als dit er effectief zou doorkomen.  Ik zal dit doen aan de hand van de laffer curve.  </p>
<p><img src="http://www.cynicalnation.com/img2/laffer.gif" alt="Laffer Curve" /></p>
<p>De laffer curve zegt dat er een optimaal punt is waar de belastingen maximaal zijn.  Als het belastingspercentage hierboven stijgt dan dalen de belastingsinkomsten.  Er is wel veel speculatie over waar het optimum juist ligt, en het is eigenlijk maar gokken wat het optimale belastingspercentage is.  Maar aangezien het Belgisch belastingspercentage al aan één van de hoogste in Europa is kunnen we wel aannemen dat we al voorbij dit punt zitten.  En dat de belastingsinkomsten dus effectief gaan dalen als we het percentage nog laten stijgen.</p>
<p>Mja, laten we het ook eens anders bezien.  Door hogere belastingen gaan de mensen minder consumeren, minder investeren, minder sparen&#8230;  Dit kan niet anders dan desastreus aflopen!  Dit heeft dan weer als gevolg dat de bedrijven minder winst maken wat dan weer leid naar minder venootschapsbelastingen.</p>
<p>Verder wil het ACV ook nog de fiscale steun aan de 3de peiler van het pensioensparen afbouwen, dit wil zeggen dat mensen die de moeite doen om zelf geld opzij te zetten voor hun pensioen hun voordeel daarop kwijt raken!  Mensen die zelf een beetje voor hun toekomst willen zorgen moeten nu gestraft worden?  En dat allemaal omdat onze politiekers er maar niet in slagen om hun werk deftig te doen!</p>
<p>Wat moeten we dan wel doen?  Laten we eens beginnen met grote fraudeurs aan te pakken, daar vallen al meerdere miljarden mee te recupereren.<br />
Laten we eindelijk eens een echt asielbeleid opstellen!  Laten we stoppen met te zeggen &#8220;we weten niet wie we allemaal binnen willen laten&#8221; en dan om de 5 jaar eens iedereen regulariseren.<br />
Laten we eens beginnen met onze arbeidsmarkt flexibeler te maken, ik heb net in mijn cursus Human Resource Management gelezen dat interim werk gigantisch in de lift zit.  Wel, laten we daar dan eens op inzetten en zorgen dat het voor bedrijven makkelijker is om op korte termijn mensen aan te nemen, en ook mensen te ontslaan.  Dit zal ook onze centrale banken helpen, want door onder andere onze totaal niet flexibele arbeidsmarkt is het beleid van de ECB vele minder effectief dan het beleid van de FED.  Maatregelen van de FED hebben vele vlugger invloed op de economische toestand dan maatregelen van de ECB</p>
<p>Maar als het ACV meer belastingen wilt kunnen ze het krijgen!  Laten we maar eens beginnen door vakbonden en mutualiteiten belastingen te laten betalen.  Of laat ze maar eens roerende voorheffing betalen op hun beleggingen!  Mja, daar spreken ze natuurlijk niet over hé.  Want dan zouden ze eerst een deftige rechtsvorm moeten aannemen en zouden ze zelf ook voor de rechtbank kunnen worden gedaagt elke keer als ze weer eens een bedrijf plat leggen, of het management van een bedrijf opsluiten.<br />
Laat de vakbonden eerst zelf eens wat verantwoordelijkheid nemen en laat ze maar zwijgen tot ze dat doen! </p>
<p>Wat ik nu ga zeggen gaat waarschijnlijk helemaal niet populair zijn, maar laten we de sociale zekerheid eens afbouwen. België is een welvaartsstaat, maar we kunnen dit niveau van welvaart niet meer volhouden!  De economische hausse van voor de crisis was artificieel opgewekt door de het beleid van Greenspan, en dus ook de welvaart die daarop volgde.  Verder kan de NV België dit welvaartsniveau gewoon niet meer aan, nu is het een tijd om vet weg te snijden, om te besparen maar om tegelijkertijd te investeren in de toekomst, in onderwijs, in groene energie en in innovatie!</p>
<p>laten we maar hopen dat onze politiekers slim genoeg zijn om het ACV deze keer gewoon weg te lachen.  Maar aangezien bijna de helft van de stemmen van de CD&#38;V te danken zijn aan het ACV vrees ik voor hun reactie.</p>

<description><![CDATA[We have been looking at the Verrus website to find out whether their pay by phone parking system, wh]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We have been looking at the <a href="http://www.verrus.com/verrus/index.aspx" target="_blank">Verrus website </a>to find out whether their pay by phone parking system, which Westminster City Council have so proudly adopted for cars and motorcycles, has actually been designed to work for bikes, as it has been for cars. At the time of writing, we have not been able to find any information related to motorcycles on the Verrus website, so we can only assume that Councillor Chalkley&#8217;s decision to tax motorcyclists for parking in Westminster does not reflect what the Verrus pay by phone system was developed for in the first place.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t actually come as a surprise, as Verrus seem to advertise their pay by phone system as one that has the benefit of <a href="http://www.verrus.com/verrus/how.aspx" target="_blank">paying from your car by staying safe and comfortable while paying</a>. So, what if you&#8217;re on a bike? Why are bikers not offered the benefit of staying safe and comfortable while paying, like it is the case for car drivers, especially when it rains, snows or is freezing cold? Is this not called discrimination of a group of road users against another?</p>
<p>We have come across another page on the Verrus website, on which it is stated that the pay by phone system <a href="http://www.verrus.com/verrus/products.aspx" target="_blank">&#8220;<em>works alongside, or can be integrated with, pay-and-display and pay-by-space meters</em>&#8220;</a>. Ah, so Verrus don&#8217;t seem to advise their clients to use their pay by phone system as the only method to pay for parking. And what have Westminster done, eh? They have removed all parking meters from their streets, which is precisely what their parking system supplier (Verrus) don&#8217;t seem to recommend. Although Westminster seem to have left a few Pay &#38; Display machines around (which only seem to accept credit/debit cards and no cash), these cannot be used as an alternative method of payment for bikers, as they issue a ticket that can&#8217;t be left on a bike for obvious reasons (wind, rain, theft etc). And even if these Pay &#38; Display machines were an alternative payment option for motorcyclists, can bikers be expected to run around the borough, miles away from their bikes, to use one of the few machines and pay the car parking fare, while of course a parking warden would jump on the opportunity to issue them with a PCN? We believe that all UK councils would tend to agree with us, except Westminster, who expect their customers to either <a href="http://ukfrance.org/2009/08/11/ive-tried-10-times-its-not-working/" target="_blank">call the pay by phone system every thirty minutes</a> when it&#8217;s down, or <a href="http://ukfrance.org/2009/08/11/ive-tried-10-times-its-not-working/" target="_blank">rush to one of the very few one-stop shops</a> to buy a parking card, which is not practical for motorcycles. In fact, given that Westminster City Council have been ignoring thousands of motorcyclists, who have expressed their opposition to parking charges for motorbikes and scooters during the past twelve months, why would have they taken into consideration any advice given by Verrus, their own parking payment system supplier?</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page on the Verrus website, and more precisely, <a href="http://www.verrus.com/verrus/faq.aspx#qna25" target="_blank">question number 25</a>.</p>
<p>Question: <em>&#8220;My phone battery has run out? I can&#8217;t pay for or top up my parking?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Answer: <em>In the event that your battery runs out before you manage to pay for or extend your parking session, you can try calling from a nearby landline and manually entering your 10 digit mobile phone/account number, otherwise you must pay by coins in a meter or coins or by card in a Pay and Display machine where available&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>Right, so what alternative and viable methods of payment are actually available in Westminster for motorcyclists, in the event of a mobile phone unexpectedly becoming out of order? To us there are none, because, a) all parking meters have been removed from the streets of Westminster, b) Pay &#38; Display machines are not practical for bikes, as the ticket they issue as proof of payment cannot be displayed on a bike, as explained above, and c) should we rush to the nearest landline or one-stop shop to pay for our parking, the probability that a CEO will turn up in the meantime and issue a parking ticket to our motorcycle is very high, based on past experience (needless to also highlight the hassle involved).</p>
<p>The contents of the Verrus website quoted above should be compared with a statement made by Robin Bevan, CEO of Verrus UK, when he talks about <a href="http://nutsville.com/?p=923" target="_blank">his contract with Westminster City Council</a>: &#8220;<em>the launch of our service in Westminster represents a landmark for Verrus &#8211; the first time that any pay by phone service has been introduced in the UK as the only form of payment. This has exciting implications for parking in the future</em>&#8220;. Very exciting indeed, especially when a CEO of an international organisation doesn&#8217;t appear to be fully aware of what is written on his own company&#8217;s website!</p>
<p>All the above demonstrates that, in our opinion, the Verrus pay by phone system has not been designed and developed for motorcyclists. How long will it take Chalkley to understand this? To our knowledge, no borough council in the UK, that has adopted the Verrus pay by phone system (there are not that many by the way, click <a href="http://nutsville.com/?p=923" target="_blank">here</a>), charges for motorcycle parking except, of course, Westminster!</p>
<p>But wait, we have some more stuff to talk about! In a <a href="http://www.times-series.co.uk/news/3705391.Pay_by_phone_parking_begins_in_Barnet/" target="_blank">Times article</a>, Robin Bevan (CEO of Verrus UK) said &#8220;<em>our</em> [Verrus] <em>system is encrypted and is as secure as any card transaction</em>&#8220;. In the light of Mr Bevan&#8217;s statement, we wonder why we are asked to specify the CVV number from the back of our card in the SMS sent from our mobile phone to pay for our parking in Westminster. Does the inclusion of this confidential piece of information in the text message make the transaction secure? What guarantee have we got that no one will interfere with the SMS and use the details of the debit/credit card illegally? What if the SMS is sent to the wrong number by mistake? What if one loses their mobile phone (or has it stolen) and the CVV number is displayed in an SMS sent out? Where does this stand in the light of the Data Protection Act? Answers on a post card!</p>
<p>We now leave you with a few more quotes that we have found on <a href="http://nutsville.com/?p=923">http://nutsville.com/?p=923</a>, which will give you a good idea of what a few senior political and business individuals in the UK think about the pay by phone technology for parking:</p>
<p>The London Councils’ Transport and Environment Committee said on 12th February 2009: <em>“It should be noted that not all motorists have access to either a mobile phone or credit card. As such London Councils recommends that mobile phone payments for parking should be provided as an additional method of payment rather than as a replacement.”</em></p>
<p>Age Concern Barnet said: <em>“The facility is important and the benefits can be helpful, but a lot of elderly people do not have mobiles to use.”</em></p>
<p>Derek Lancaster, UK sales director for Parkmobile, which manages the Wandsworth Pay By Phone service, said: <em>“While I’d hesitate to use the term illegal, Westminster’s decision to deprive people of the choice to pay for parking with cash is questionable. It may be only a matter of time before a legal challenge is mounted against this policy.”</em>  This seems to be spot on by the way, the <a href="http://www.notobikeparkingtax.com/" target="_blank">No To Bike Parking Tax </a>campaign is about to take Westminster City Council to court.</p>
<p>To conclude this post, we believe that it might be a good idea for Mr Bevan to arrange a meeting with Councillor Chalkley to ask him to stop using the Verrus pay by phone system for motorbike and scooter parking, which is causing so much bad publicity for his organisation. This might help Verrus to <a href="http://nutsville.com/?p=923" target="_blank">get more contracts in the UK</a>, which to date, seem to be awarded to its main competitor, RingGo.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Dulu, terkadang kita harus merasa repot untuk memesan tiket pesawat. Kini jaman telah berganti. Keha]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1371" title="Air Asia Screen" src="http://totosp.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/air-asia-screen.jpg?w=300" alt="Air Asia Screen" width="300" height="187" />Dulu, terkadang kita harus merasa repot untuk memesan tiket pesawat. Kini jaman telah berganti. Kehadiran internet telah banyak merubah berbagai sendi kehidupan. Begitu juga dalam memesan tiket pesawat.  Kecepatan dan kemudahan membuat pemesanan tiket melalui internet makin diminati, apalagi merencanakan perjalanan kini sudah menjadi domain personal. Dan memesan tiket via internet menjadikan privasi rencana perjalanan sangat terjaga.</p>
<p>Kendati pemesanan tiket online sudah dikenalkan maskapai di luar negeri sejak kehadiran internet, tapi nyatanya di Indonesia kehadirannya baru benar-benar dirasakan saat Air Asia menjadikan internet sebagai cara utama pemesanan tiketnya. Kini hampir semua maskapai Indonesia menyediakan fasilitas pemesanan online ini. Tapi mengapa masih banyak yang ragu?</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Keraguan ini biasanya didasarkan pada alasan keamanan transaksi, karena pembayaran biasanya dilakukan dengan kartu kredit. Keraguan juga dirasakan oleh pengguna yang masih gagap teknologi, yang mengarah kekuatiran akan menghadapi kesulitan jika terjadi sesuatu. Nah untuk mengurangi keraguan itu, ada baiknya mengenal karakteristik transaksi melalui serba-serbi berikut :</p>
<ul>
<li>Semua airline yang menyediakan fasilitas pemesanan online sudah melengkapi situsnya dengan standar sekuriti minimal yang dipersyaratkan.</li>
<li>Kendati membeli tiket melalui internet, Anda masih dapat menghubungi layanan contact center jika terjadi sesuatu atas tiket Anda.</li>
<li>Verifikasi pembayaran dilakukan dengan standar sekuriti penerbit kartu (seperti Visa &#38; Master). Beberapa informasi kartu kredit adalah sangat rahasia dan harus tetap dijaga kerahasiannya oleh pemegang kartu. Informasi penting itu adalah CVV atau CID Number yakni 3 digit angka di balik kartu kredit Anda.</li>
<li>Pada beberapa airline harga tiket online bisa lebih murah dibandingkan jika membeli melalui agen perjalanan atau kantor perwakilan airline.</li>
</ul>
<p>Pengalaman saya membeli tiket melalui beberapa situs airline mendapati bahwa standar keamanan minimal transaksi telah ada pada situs-situsnya. Namun situs-situs itu menyediakan fasilitas yang sangat beragam, dan ini yang berpengaruh pada kenyamanan dan kepuasan transaksi online. Tabel berikut adalah komparasi sederhana situs-situs pemesanan tiket online. Informasi didasarkan pada persepsi dan pengalamanan pribadi.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1376 aligncenter" title="Ticket Online Comparation" src="http://totosp.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/ticket-online-comparation.jpg" alt="Ticket Online Comparation" width="460" height="374" /></p>
<p>Dari beberapa situs tersebut saya menempatkan Air Asia menjadi situs terbaik dalam layanan pemesanan onlinenya. Keunggulannya adalah kecepatan akses, kemudahan transaksi, keragaman fasilitas, dan promo-promo yang luar biasa sering.</p>
<p>Berikut adalah tips singkat dalam melakukan pemesanan online.</p>
<ul>
<li>Usahakan menjadi member terlebih dulu. Proses transaksi jauh lebih singkat jika Anda login terlebih dulu karena Anda tidak perlu memasukkan banyak data pada transaksi Anda.</li>
<li>Rencanakan terlebih dulu perjalanan Anda (tanggal keberangkatan dan kembali), ini akan mempersingkat waktu pencarian tiket.</li>
<li>Siapkan data-data penumpang, yakni nama sesuai identitas, tanggal lahir, nomor identitas. Bawa serta kartu identitas Anda saat check-in. Beberapa airline tidak menyertakan pembukuan online untuk bayi. Karena bayi tidak membutuhkan bangku sendiri, Anda bisa memesan tiket dewasa terlebih dulu dan menghubungi contact center atau layanan ticketing bandara untuk penumpang bayi.</li>
<li>Siapkan data kartu kredit. Disamping nomor kartu, CCV dan alamat tagihan harus disiapkan. Alamat tagihan usahakan sama persis seperti yang tercetak di tagihan Anda. Keakuratan data alamat ini akan menjadikan proses verifikasi pembayaran menjadi singkat. Data <strong>CCV adalah informasi sangat rahasia</strong>, amankan data ini dan jangan pernah memberikan foto copy kartu kredit bolak-balik. Jika data kartu kredit yang dimasukkan akurat proses verifikasi memakan waktu tidak sampai 2 menit, bahkan saya pernah membeli tiket Citilink dengan verifikasi cuma 30 detik.</li>
<li>Gunakan alamat email yang sering digunakan. Email ini biasanya digunakan untuk mengirimkan electronic ticket Anda (itenarary). Anda juga akan mendapatkan informasi promo melalui email ini.</li>
<li>Gunakan nomor telepon yang selalu digunakan, disarankan untuk mencantumkan nomor HP Anda. Nomor ini sangat penting karena airline akan mengirimkan pemberitahuan terkait tiket Anda. Pemberitahuan ini biasanya berupa informasi kelambatan penerbangan, pembatalan penerbangan atau informasi lainnya.</li>
</ul>
<p>Nah dengan mengenali karakter transaksinya, Anda akan banyak memetik manfaat dan kemudahan dari pembelian tiket online sekaligus dapat mengurangi risikonya.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Recebi a ligação de uma pessoa cujo filho teve um percalço no Carnaval desse ano e acabou sendo flag]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://algonovotododia.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/caturdayeverythingisfine.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-769 aligncenter" title="Caturday - Everything is fine now..." src="http://algonovotododia.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/caturdayeverythingisfine.jpg" alt="Às vezes a gente precisa só disso. " width="365" height="229" /></a></p>
<p>Recebi a ligação de uma pessoa cujo filho teve um percalço no Carnaval desse ano e acabou sendo flagrado portando umas porcarias e agora teria de comparecer ao Fórum da cidade onde tudo ocorreu pra tomar aquele pito básico do Meretíssimo e receber uma medida punitiva tênue, vez que prisão nesse caso não se aplica mais &#8211; o que considero muito acertado, diga-se de passagem.</p>
<p>A família é trabalhadora e o rapaz em questão é uma boa pessoa, mas de Dezembro para cá tem passado umas dificuldades e acabou se metendo no que não devia. Pode acontecer com todo mundo, antes que você, cidadão de bem, bebedor de uísque e tomador de Prozac venha torcer o nariz pro meu lado do alto de sua arrogância dopada.</p>
<p>Uma das tarefas mais difíceis que enfrento na profissão que escolhi é justamente atender ao telefonema desesperado do familiar das pessoas que se envolvem em pendências judiciais. Parece que é a própria pessoa quem liga, e não o seu parente, que se envolveu no delito. É muito comum, especialmente quando se trata das mães, sentimentos de conflito interior, sensação de que poderia ter feito alguma coisa para evitar que aquilo &#8211; o chamamento à Justiça e a infração em si -  acontecesse com seu filho ou filha e como se não bastasse isso, tem a questão de não conhecer os trâmites legais, resultando essa triste soma em pavor, puro e simples. É nessa hora que o advogado dá aquela voltinha da Mulher-Maravilha e se transforma em padre, psicólogo, assistente social, bombeiro e tenta, antes de socorrer o cliente, socorrer a pessoa que está te ligando em primeiro lugar.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://algonovotododia.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/caturdaycallmahlawyur.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-780" title="Caturday - Call my lawyer!" src="http://algonovotododia.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/caturdaycallmahlawyur.jpg" alt="Caturday - Call my lawyer!" width="360" height="252" /></a></p>
<p>Nesse caso do rapaz, a questão legal é simples e não lhe trará maiores consequências, entretanto pra quem recebe a fria intimação judicial e não é um pilantra costumeiro isso não se revela de pronto, é necessário que alguém lhe traga essa informação sem contudo transmitir a idéia errada de que estaria tudo bem caso a pessoa reincidisse.</p>
<p>Não seria a primeira vez que minha arte foi solicitada para pessoas cujo caráter não coaduna com o crime e a esses eu costumo dizer que &#8220;quem não é malandro não deve se meter a fazer malandragem&#8221;. Essas pessoas geralmente não voltam a fazer besteira e fica o susto como lição aprendida para não mais se desviar do caminho correto da vida. Tenho exemplos maravilhosos disso, falo do assunto outra hora, porém o que eu quero falar nesse post não é do garoto que se meteu em fria mas sim do problema de uma mãe que assume para si um fardo dolorido que a rigor, não é dela.</p>
<p>Essa mãe que me telefonou se encaixa exatamente nessa situação. Deprimida, sem dormir, sem conseguir trabalhar direito, acanhada e tentando a todo custo ocultar o acontecido de seus familiares, telefonou-me graças a indicação de um antigo cliente meu para uma orientação sobre o que fazer e se eu poderia acompanhar o rapaz ao Fórum daquela cidade. Falei que não podia, e de fato no dia da audiência tenho um compromisso, mas em nada me onerou o tempo que passei com ela ao telefone explicando detalhadamente que o problema legal não era tão grave, não iria acarretar no aprisionamento da cria e como ela teria de proceder para entrar em contato com a Defensoria Pública. Esse é um momento onde a gente precisa ter muito tato e principalmente, amor ao próximo seja lá quem ele ou ela for, para compreender as angústias de quem te liga. É, sem dúvida alguma, o momento onde eu me sinto mais feliz na minha carreira, ainda que como nesse caso não me traga compensação financeira alguma. Não tem importância. Quem está no buraco e não consegue ver a borda precisa, no mínimo, ser ouvido e entendido &#8211; e isso meus amigos, não tem preço.</p>
<p>A orientação legal não me tomou mais que 10 ou 15 minutos e o restante foi dedicado a permitir que aquela pessoa desabafasse &#8211; daí o título do meu post &#8211; e tirasse um pouco de si uma série de amarguras que não são de causa própria e sim do seu filho. Sei que a dor de uma mãe começa nas contrações do parto e termina com a sua própria morte, contudo na minha opinião todo mundo deveria ter na escola desde a infância, além das lições de português e matemática, orientação psicológica para a vida em geral. Não é nada fácil carregar consigo a própria mochila da existência, que dirá então carregar a mochila dos outros também. E isso acontece o tempo todo com essas mães que ligam para mim.</p>
<p>Quem cometeu a infração foi o rapaz, quem deveria estar correndo atrás do prejuízo, ao meu ver, deveria ser o rapaz também. Ora, se foi homem pra fazer, tem de ser homem para arcar com as consequências, correto? Não é uma criança, não tá preso, fez o que fez consciente dos seus atos e por livre e espontânea vontade. Então porque não foi ele quem me ligou e sim sua mãe?</p>
<p>O motivo disso é porque, carregando a mochila alheia, é essa mãe que toma as iniciativas que não deveriam ser de sua competência. Sentindo-se culpada, que deveria ter trabalhado menos e ficado mais presente e literalmente caçando falha na perfeição, tenta compensar isso resolvendo, ela, o problema de outrem. As mães não merecem esse sofrimento auto-imposto, essa agonia transferida e de algum modo acabam passando a mensagem ao filho que  se isso acontecer de novo, tudo bem, mamãe e suas grandes asas vão abarcar e protegê-lo de todos os males.</p>
<p>Minha pergunta é: protegem até quando? Até o limite de sua exaustão? E depois, quando ela não estiver mais presente, como fica?</p>
<p>E notem, o aparte do problema próprio com o alheio não tem absolutamente NADA a ver com indiferença.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://algonovotododia.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/caturdayindifferent.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-775" title="Caturday - I am indifferent to your suffering" src="http://algonovotododia.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/caturdayindifferent.jpg" alt="Caturday - I am indifferent to your suffering" width="320" height="304" /></a></p>
<p>A minha convicção é que a gente vem a essa Terra para aprender e se emendar e tanto o aprendizado quando o emendamento precisam ser PERMITIDOS. Quando a gente está começando a dar os primeiros passos, cair, chorar e levantar é fundamental para que se aprenda o equilíbrio e a ficar de pé. Imaginem se na primeira ralada de joelho o pai ou a mãe encaixam a cria em um andador superpoderoso que faz tudo por ela, a risco zero? Tira o andador, o filho desmonta no chão. Ou seja, ele não aprendeu a caminhar, caminharam por ele.</p>
<p>Essa mãe que me telefonou, assim como tantas outras que já me ligaram, estava literalmente andando o passos de sua descendência sem permitir o necessário aprendizado daquele a quem ela tanto protege. De tão acobertada a pessoa fica mais descoberta que o necessário quando se vê na situação de não poder contar com esse guardião. E isso é ruim, tanto para a mãe que leva consigo um peso extra da vida quanto para o filho ou filha que, consciente disso ou não, se favorece e se prevalece de um escudo que ele ou ela nem mesmo está carregando.</p>
<p>Não quero de forma alguma dizer com isso que a culpa do que aconteceu nesse caso de hoje é da mãe. Não, não é. A mãe pensa que sim, mas afirmo e reafirmo que não. Os filhos não são extensões corpóreas de seus pais, têm pensamento próprio, tomam decisões próprias, fazem suas escolhas e por essa razão deveriam assimilar integralmente as lições que decorrem da sua individualidade. Uma coisa é pedir ajuda pra sair de uma enrascada, outra é entrar nessa enrascada e sair dela completamente ileso, a custa da dor e do sofrimento de alguém que lhe ama tanto, tanto, a ponto de não perceber coisas que a estranhos essa pessoa não teria dificuldade nenhuma em enxergar. &#8220;Cada um com seus problemas&#8221;, é assim que as coisas funcionam.</p>
<p>O sofrimento dessa mãe e de muitas outras é tão imenso que ela não enxerga suas próprias qualidades. Pensa como falei, que deveria ter trabalhado menos e ficado mais presente. Mas daí iriam comer o quê, eles dois? Não vê que até Dezembro do ano passado o filho era uma pessoa normal que trabalhava, namorava, fazia faculdade e nunca tinha se envolvido com a Justiça não porque se evadiu mas sim porque nunca tinha feito mesmo nada de grave, ou seja, não enxerga que lhe foi dada uma boa base e estrutura de família. A partir de Dezembro o rapaz perdeu numa tacada só o emprego, a namorada e o curso que estava fazendo &#8211; desempregado, teve de trancar a matrícula &#8211; e aí eu pergunto pra vocês, meus caros leitores: quem que nunca teve de lidar com alguma perda em algum momento da vida? Ele caiu, ralou o joelho e ficou chorando desde então. E a mãe acha que tudo isso é culpa sua, vê se pode.</p>
<p>No meu mundinho ideal pelo menos, não poderia.</p>
<p>O único problema dessa história toda é que <strong>FALAR É MUITO FÁCIL</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://algonovotododia.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/caturdayfact.png" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-773" title="Caturday - It's a fact" src="http://algonovotododia.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/caturdayfact.png" alt="Caturday - It's a fact" width="280" height="349" /></a></p>
<p>Ser boa mãe é uma responsabilidade tão imensa que não a quero para mim. Não me sinto capacitada para arcar com esse ônus tremendo de gerar e formar um novo ser humano para o mundo e decidi há muitos anos não ter filhos. Se um &#8220;acidente&#8221; acontecer, tudo bem, o pestinha será bem-vindo mas em princípio não é um papel que desejo assumir por acreditar que me falta vocação e muito provavelmente também porque não quero carregar a mochila de ninguém, porque como todos bem sabemos, falar (e idealizar a conduta alheia) é muito fácil.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Law &amp; Order: UK - Alesha Não sei se você já botou reparo, mas Titia Batata é uma criatura facilm]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_3953" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://batatatransgenica.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/louk-s01e07-alesha.jpg"><img src="http://batatatransgenica.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/louk-s01e07-alesha.jpg?w=300" alt="Law &#38; Order: UK - Alesha" title="louk-s01e07-alesha" width="300" height="165" class="size-medium wp-image-3953" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Law &#38; Order: UK - Alesha</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Não sei se você já botou reparo, mas Titia Batata é uma criatura facilmente impressionável com coincidências. Desta vez foram três num espaço de pouco mais de 24 horas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Primeiro no episódio <a href="http://www.tv.com/house/simple-explanation/episode/1256666/summary.html" target="_blank">Simple Explanation</a> [contém spoilers] de House, que teve um caso de suicídio. Assim que acabou, antes de passar os créditos, colocaram uma mensagem na tela com locução que pedia para a pessoa entrar em contato com a NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) por telefone ou pelo <a href="http://www.nami.org/" target="_blank">site</a> se estivesse em crise e pensando em suicidar-se.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Depois, no site da <a href="http://www.onofre.com.br/">Onofre</a> tinha um banner do <a href="http://www.cvv.org.br/" target="_blank">CVV</a> [Centro de Valorização da Vida] em todas as seções. Achei bem apropriado e digno da empresa: é uma farmácia online, provavelmente uma parcela dos consumidores tenha um problema que pode ser resolvido mais com conversa e menos com medicamentos. [Antes que pergunte: calma, eu estava lá pra comprar <a href="http://batatatransgenica.wordpress.com/2002/09/05/brexin/" target="_blank">Brexin</a>, absorventes e um shampoo de marcas que não tem em Pedra Lascada. Mesmo com a taxa do frete, saiu mais em conta do que procurar em Marília.]</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Acho que o CVV é o equivalente basileiro do NAMI. Os voluntários atendem no telefone 141.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por fim, no episódio <a href="http://www.tv.com/law-and-order-uk/alesha/episode/1261417/summary.html" target="_blank">Alesha</a> de Law &#38; Order: UK, que teve um caso de estupro, aconteceu o mesmo que no de House: mostraram uma mensagem na tela com locução, durante os créditos, para que a pessoa que tivesse sofrido agressão sexual entrasse em contato com o Rape &#38; Sexual Abuse Support Centre. Eu só achei esquisito o horário de funcionamento, apenas cinco horas por dia em dois períodos de duas horas e meia a partir do meio-dia e das sete da noite, sem atendimento no fim de semana.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">À parte isso, a trama desse episódio me lembrou bastante de um outro caso acontecido no Brasl que virou <a href="http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/cotidiano/ult95u491204.shtml">notícia</a> no final o ano passado, eu acho, o de um médico que foi acusado de abuso sexual por uma paciente. No início ela foi desacreditada, mas assim que a notícia chegou aos jornais mais de 50 outras vítimas se apresentaram.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Eu não sei se no Brasil existe um serviço específico para casos de agressão sexual, mas acredito que o <a href="http://copodeleite.rits.org.br/apc-aa-patriciagalvao/home/capa_portal.shtml" target="_blank">Portal da Violência Contra A Mulher</a> e o telefone 180 [Central de Atendimento À Mulher] devem ajudar a quem passa/passou por essa situação &#8211; com a vantagem de não ter horário de fechamento como o similar inglês.</p>
<p><strong>Atualização</strong><br />
Ao revisar este post, bateu vontade de rever o videoclipe de Natural Blues com Moby, Jill Scott e Blue Man Group. Na <a href="http://lnhikawa.multiply.com/video/item/28">Videoteca</a>.</p>

Logo, uma boa trilha sonora somada à uma grande idéia criativa é capaz de emocionar e fazer um anúncio ficar na memória por muito tempo.</p>
<p>Além do anúncio do Carlinhos com a música Fake Plastic Trees, selecionei mais três propagandas difíceis de esquecer: <strong>Praia</strong>, para o CVV com Fernanda Vogel, música Glory Box do Portishead;  					<strong>Fábrica</strong>, do Novo Ford Focus, música happy Together do The Turtles; e  outro feito aqui na terrinha já postando antes, &#8220;<strong>Porque a vida é banhada de emoções</strong>&#8221; para a Indaiá, feito pela Acesso, se alguém conhecer a música, coloca no comentário.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Chip and PIN is back in the news and since I am heading to Europe next week on vacation, I thought I would pass this information along.</p>
<p>In a recent interview, Ms. Ellen Richey, Visa’s Chief Enterprise Risk Officer, indicated that Chip and PIN would head to the United States at some point.  As usual, there was an impression given that Chip and PIN is some sort of magic bullet that will cure all ills.  However, as you will see, Chip and PIN is not the “silver bullet” solution.</p>
<p>For those of you that have not traveled to Europe a little background.  Chip and PIN was developed by the British government to implement the Europay, MasterCard and Visa (EMV) standard for credit cards containing a built-in integrated circuit (IC), also known as the ‘Chip’.  The PIN part comes from the fact that you no longer sign a receipt when you make a purchase, you enter your PIN, just like at an ATM.  The purpose of developing Chip and PIN was to reduce the amount of fraud in face-to-face credit card transactions.  Chip and PIN is a worldwide standard that has only been implemented in Europe.  With the exception of Discover Financial, all of the other major card brands (Visa, MasterCard, JCB and American Express) have adopted various forms of the Chip and PIN technology.</p>
<p>Chip and PIN replaces the swiping of the magnetic stripe and receipt-signing common in the United States.  With Chip and PIN technology, the information contained on the magnetic stripe is also recorded on the Chip contained in the card.  The data stored in the chip is encrypted using either the DES, 3DES, RSA or SHA encryption algorithms.  Rather than swiping the magnetic stripe, the card is inserted into the payment terminal where the chip is read and decrypted and the transaction is submitted for authorization.  If authorized, the payment terminal is given to the cardholder and the cardholder enters their PIN into the terminal, a receipt is generated and the transaction is completed.  Most Chip and PIN terminals also have a magnetic stripe readers – you want the tourists to be able to use their “old” cards.  Chip and PIN terminals can operate over wired, dialup, 802.11 wireless or cellular networks.  In all communication environments, the terminals use secure transmission technology to ensure the privacy of cardholder data.</p>
<p>Looks good so far, but as I have said before, security is not perfect.  While Chip and PIN has significantly reduced fraud in face-to-face transactions, there are a number of issues regarding the security of this technology.  Those issues include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The EMV specification is open source and available from a number of sources, including EMV Co.  Because of this, any attacker can obtain the specification to build their own hardware and software for creating and processing Chip and PIN cards as well as creating attack methods to compromise the cards.  This has lead to a number of successful attacks resulting in cloned cards as well as obtaining and computing valid PINs.</li>
<li>The entry of the PIN can be bypassed by the merchant.  If bypassed, the receipt is generated and signed by the cardholder, no different from a transaction performed with a traditional credit card.  While banks have tried to discourage this practice, this option is still available which does not provide any additional protections against fraudulent transactions.</li>
<li>Theft of physical credit cards has risen since the introduction of Chip and PIN.  Criminals often hold victims hostage and threaten them with bodily harm until they reveal their PIN, which the criminals can confirm with a simple card reader.  Card readers are very easy to come by as banks sent them to all their customers along with their Chip and PIN cards when they were introduced.</li>
<li>Banks encourage credit and debit card customers to take their card readers along with them.  The readers require the entry of the PIN in order to get information displayed from the card.  Security researchers found that because of frequent use of these readers, the readers had four more heavily worn keys that reduced the likelihood of guessing a card’s PIN from 1 in 3,333 to 1 in 8.</li>
<li>Chip and PIN cards connected to PCs can generate authentication tokens, but the standards do not specify how these tokens are to be used in an online environment.  In addition, most e-Commerce sites and many banks have not implemented this capability into their Internet processing environments.  As a result, security of online environments is not always enhanced by using Chip and PIN cards.  In fact, some banks will not allow their Chip and PIN cards to be used online.</li>
<li>Offline entry of PINs is supported by certain cards in certain countries.  In offline mode, the PIN is not encrypted, so it can readily be retrieved in plaintext from the terminal.</li>
<li>The introduction of Chip and PIN technology has moved attacks to the merchant terminal or integrated point of sale (POS) solution. In the case of terminals, the terminal is modified by the attacker to record the information on the chip after it is decrypted (skimming).  Since most terminals use some form of high-speed network connection, the compromised terminal periodically sends the captured chip data to an attacker any where in the world. For POS, the attacker compromises the POS station and then obtains the chip data by monitoring the program that processes the Chip and PIN card.  Again, since most POS terminals are on a network, the attacker has their capture program send the captured card data to their computer.A number of incidents involving the skimming of Chip and PIN cards using tampered software or terminals have been documented.  Skimmed cards are typically sold in areas like Asia and the United States where magnetic stripes are still used.  The incidence of compromised terminals and POS systems has risen significantly since the introduction of Chip and PIN technology.</li>
</ul>
<p>Many European organizations believe that Chip and PIN makes them immune to complying with the PCI standards.  The standards promulgated by the PCI Security Standards Council are worldwide in nature.  So, regardless of the type of card used, all merchants and acquirers are required to comply with all PCI standards.  This is legally enforced through merchant and service provider agreements between these entities and the card brands.  All agreements were updated worldwide over the last three to four years to include addendums that require all parties to be PCI compliant.</p>
<p>While Chip and PIN cards and their terminals are different, the integrated POS and the back end systems that authorize and process transactions are not different.  These systems provide their functionality the same way regardless of the card used.  At a minimum, these back end systems process and transmit cardholder data.  But these back end systems may also store cardholder data.  As a result, these back end systems must comply with the PCI standards.</p>
<p>Chip and PIN terminals are no different than their magnetic stripe swiping cousins.  They require proper configuration to ensure that they mask cardholder data and that they transmit transactions securely so that they comply with the PCI Data Security Standard.  They are also required to comply with the PCI PIN Entry Device (PED) standard.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that Chip and PIN reduces face-to-face transaction fraud, but it does not remove all of the risks involved in the use of a credit card.  As a result, there is still some amount of effort required to ensure that an organization’s credit card processing infrastructure is secure and complies with the various relevant PCI standards.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-359" title="aftonbladet_skydda_ditt_kort_450px1" src="http://guggebonds.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/aftonbladet_skydda_ditt_kort_450px1.jpg" alt="aftonbladet_skydda_ditt_kort_450px1" width="450" height="538" /></p>
<p>Jag noterade igår med tillfredställelse att <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/ekonomi/article4459077.ab" target="_blank">Aftonbladet uppmanade </a>folk att skrapa bort CVV-koden (&#8220;Card Verification Value&#8221;) från baksidan sina kontokort. I maj förra året (2008) <a href="http://guggebonds.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/nagon-mer-an-jag-som-skrapat-bort-cvv-koden-fran-baksidan-pa-kontokorten/" target="_self">skrev jag ett inlägg här på bloggen </a>där jag ondgjorde mig över denna fullkomligt vansinniga idé att ha koden uppskriven på kortet.</p>
<p>Jag noterar också att Aftonbladet uppmärksammar bankernas reserverade inställning. Jag har verkligen svårt att fatta hur bankerna kan framhärda i sin envishet  med att upprätthålla ett så totalt hjärndött system vars enda fördel (som jag kan se) är att de slipper supporta kunder som glömt bort sina koder.</p>
<p>Bankernas huvudargument är verkligen komiskt. De avråder folk att skrapa bort koden därför att kortet då blir ogiltigt. Detta betyder i princip samma sak som: &#8220;Vårt främsta argument för att inte ta bort koden från kortet är att vi inte godkänner att den tas bort.&#8221; </p>
<p>När jag surfar runt lite grand märker jag att fler nyhetskanaler har uppmärksammat detta.</p>
<p>[<a href="http://svtplay.se/v/1450762/rapport/_skrapa_bort_cvv-koden_fran_kreditkortet_" target="_blank">Här är Svt Rapport</a>]</p>
<p>Fast sen är förstås frågan var man ska förvara koden istället. Enligt aftonbladet skulle visst polisen råda folk att ha den bortskrapade koden uppskriven på en lapp hemma. Det är väl egentligen inte helt idealiskt heller. Det optimala, tycker jag, är använda någon form av starkt lösenordsskyddad krypterad databas som kan ligga på en bärbar dator, en handdator eller en mobiltelefon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="MsoNormal">One of the things I hate about blogs is that they seem to generate more rumors than dispel.<span> </span>One of the reasons I created this blog was to get rid of some of the rumors surrounding the PCI process.<span> </span>Where these rumors come from, I’m not sure.<span> </span>However, the sooner they are dispelled, the more secure we will be.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The rumors I would like to dispel in this posting are related to why merchants seem to think they need to retain the card verification value or code otherwise known as CVV/CVC.<span> </span>It’s that three digit code on the backs of Visa or MasterCard cards and four digit value on the front of American Express cards.<span> </span>Actually, to be correct, American Express calls it the CID.<span> </span>Regardless of what it’s called, it is NOT allowed to be retained once a transaction has been processed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first rumor is that by using the CVV/CVC in transactions merchants reduce their interchange fees with their processor and the card brands.<span> </span>This is not true.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is true is that by including the CVV/CVC value when a merchant submits a transaction for authorization, should a dispute or chargeback situation arise, the processor and/or card brands will reduce their fees on the dispute or chargeback.<span> </span>The rationale being that the processors and card brands assume that by having the CVV/CVC, it is less likely that the transaction will result in a dispute or chargeback.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second rumor is that merchants conducting repeat transactions need to submit the CVV/CVC for the original and all subsequent transactions.<span> </span>Again, this is false.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are two ways to conduct such recurring transactions.<span> </span>The easiest way is to use a processor that can provide you with a reference number from the original transaction and then process all subsequent transactions by allowing you to use the reference number so that your organization does not have to store the cardholder information.<span> </span>The other option is for your organization to store the cardholder’s name, account number and expiration date.<span> </span>Of course, if your organization is storing this information, you need to ensure it is stored securely either by encrypting it if on a computer or physically securing it if using a manual system.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Yesterday on the Intellivative blog, there were two interesting blog posts: AVS &amp; CVV: When to u]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Yesterday on the <a href="http://intellivative.com/t/blog/"><strong>Intellivative blog</strong>,</a> there were two interesting blog posts:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://intellivative.com/avs-and-cvv-when-to-use-it-and-why.html"><strong>AVS &#38; CVV: When to use it and why?</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="http://intellivative.com/does-cvv-affect-e-commerce-conversion-rates.html"><strong>Does CVV affect e-commerce conversion rates?</strong></a></li>
</ol>
<p>The second one is the most intriguing to me because it presents a quandary for e-commerce businesses.  CVV&#8211;that 3-digit code on the back of the credit card&#8211;is one of the recommended practices for fighting fraud; yet, if you use it on your e-commerce site, it appears that it might actually reduce the number of orders you may get from your site. The surprising mythbuster comes from the <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/ecommerce/article/prweb525131.htm"><strong>E-commerce Checkout Report </strong></a>from Get Elastic, which found:</p>
<blockquote><p>Conversion rates were a full 40% higher where Top 100 retailers did not request a CVV (Card Verification Value), yet over 55% of them do.</p></blockquote>
<p>The other interesting part about it was even though conversion rates were higher when the e-tailers didn&#8217;t use the card code, still over 55% of them still use it&#8211;which implies that either they didn&#8217;t know their conversion rate might be higher without it (did they try an A/B test on CVV code?) or that the fraud reduction benefits of the CVV code outweigh the potential higher conversion rate.</p>
<p>As a consumer, I think I would like it better if the site did ask for my CVV code&#8211;it shows they&#8217;re doing the due diligence to check for fraud which not only protects them, it helps me, the consumer. After all, if someone is out there trying to use my credit card (who wouldn&#8217;t have the CVV number), wouldn&#8217;t it be better if they were inhibited in their spending spree by web sites who do check the CVV code?</p>
<p>I always thank people who ask to see my ID with my credit card&#8211;they&#8217;re protecting me by doing that. Even though it&#8217;s a hassle for me to get out my ID and show it to them, I&#8217;d much rather they ask for it and make sure that I am the rightful owner of the card.</p>
<p>But apparently I&#8217;m an oddity. Either the CVV code is too complicated to find&#8211;or too much work to enter for many consumers shopping at the top 100 e-commerce web sites. Or maybe consumers just aren&#8217;t aware that the card code actually helps protect their identity and their credit card?</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.getelastic.com/"><strong>Get Elastic</strong></a> for putting the work into this study and challenging our paradigms.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Esses dias estava conversando em um churrasco com uma galera sobre os primeiros porres que tivemos. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Esses dias estava conversando em um churrasco com uma galera sobre os primeiros porres que tivemos. As histórias eram nojentas de fato, mas o que mais me impressionou foram as idades de cada porre. Realmente, se pararmos para pensar, começamos a beber muito cedo. Tirando um carinha de Minas (mineiro come quieto e bebe muito) que teve seu primeiro porre com 9 anos (o.O), portanto era uma exceção (a mãe dele dava pinga para ele parar de chorar&#8230; certeza), todo mundo daquele churrasco teve seu primeiro porre entre os 12 e 14 anos.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Eu, depois desse dia, pensei realmente em entrar para o A.A. (ou ligar para o CVV), mas vi que era&#8230; normal. Vejo meus priminhos, aquelas crianças lindas e choronas que eu mandava comprar coisas para mim, com seus uniformes da escola contando sobre as baladinhas e dos porres dos amiguinhos. Isso me assusta. Muito. Deve ter sido essa a sensação que a minha mãe teve quando Priscillinha, filha única, chegou, com 15 anos, caindo na porta de casa, cheirando a pinga!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Mas tudo bem, já passou. Não virei alcoólatra [o.O (adorei esse o.O, perceberam?)], sou uma pessoa aparentemente normal, mas penso se isso aconteceu com todo mundo. Da galerinha dos primeiros porres, dois foram para rehab (I said no, no, no), mas por outros problemas que tiveram junto com a bebida. Metade ainda bebe (e muito) e uma delas até escreve sobre as bebedeiras.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Penso que existem idades de beber: nessa fase, acho que é para sentir-se adulto, tomando qualquer porcaria só para ficar bêbado (coca com pinga, batida de sorvete com bolacha). Depois vamos para os drinks, os vinhos, as cervejas, os whiskeys, mas sempre vamos estar bebendo. Fico pensando se é um vicio ou uma característica de nossa geração.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Não tivemos movimentos sociais importantes, não tivemos nenhum movimento de contracultura significativo&#8230; bem, não tivemos porra nenhuma. Na real, não brigamos por nada, não queremos nada, não somo símbolos de nada. Ouvimos histórias sobre como os anos 60 eram legais, músicas dos anos 80 porque, infelizmente, o que temos de nossa geração?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Acho que por isso bebemos: bebemos para rir , para esquecer, para viver nessa geração sem sal sem açúcar, que não fode nem sai de cima. Bebemos cedo, de tarde, de noite porque foi isso que nos sobrou&#8230; Mas estamos nos divertindo. Ah se estamos!</span></span></p>
