It looks like the theme this year at the MRC | Merchant Risk Council Vegas is Refund Fraud.Vendors seem to be rushing in with a “solution” but it’s likely vaporware or on their roadmap 🤷♂️We’ve been tackling this for years and have actual solutions in place. Whether you use your data standalone or want to leverage our ML and data consortium (40% of the IR100) that’s up to you.Happy to talk more about it when there!#mrc2024 #mrcvegas24 #accertify #refundfraud #fraudprevention #fraudfighters #customerexperience #customervalue

Refund fraud is the newest trend in the industry. Sources indicate that merchants are losing three times more revenue to this fraud than actual credit card fraud. Join us on stage March 26 at 4:45pm where Accertify's Stuart Mann will be co-presenting a session on this pressing subject: Refund Fraud: Fraud as a Service – Have We Created a Monster? will explain how to identify refund abuse and best practices to combat the many faces of this fraud: https://lnkd.in/dkfpN8CS#MRCVegas #fraudprevention #refunds #returnsmanagement

We are in a new arms race...We're in a New Shift. In Oak Brook, ***WE*** laid the groundwork for the next 20 years. I know. That’s a bold claim. In a decade, everyone will know it's true. We pinpointed FOUR major arms races:1. The mandate of Digital Sovereignty 2. The NEW Age of the 21st Century Subject Matter Expert3. The NEW Age of Content is King4. The Cyberhuman vs. the Real Human(The Real Humans will win. The Cyberhumans will be in a psychiatric hospital.)

Join us at this year’s International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference in San Diego, California, USA, October 14 – 17th, https://lnkd.in/dRtwBN_v. PRESS RELEASE: ARC's Ballistic Shield Panels Dominate Independent Testing, Raising the Bar for Law Enforcement and Military Protection.August 2023— Ken Hall, CEO, observed testing of ARC’s new and existing lines of ballistic shield panel designs at the Oregon Ballistic Laboratory in Salem, Oregon, an independent ballistics testing facility certified by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) of the US Department of Justice to conduct product testing and verification compliance to NIJ standards on behalf of the Department.It is ARC’s philosophy that while testing, we not only verify our product meets or exceeds NIJ standards, but ARC’s management also tests every product for failure. This method provides data which improves the predictability of product performance in real life scenarios. While ARC’s existing product performed as anticipated surpassing NIJ Level III, rifle rated and special threat standard for the number of rounds in each required caliber including M193, M80 copper and Type 56 MSC, ARC’s new panel prototypes exceeded performance while sacrificing an average of only 8 oz in overall weight. Tests were first performed on all panels to meet minimum NIJ testing standards. After confirmation that all panels passed, OBL continued testing until ballistic failure was observed.All panels exceeded 22 rounds of M193, AR-15, 5.56x45mm before any degradation of performance was observed.ARC’s new prototypepanels exceeded 25 rounds. The testing continued using M80 Ball, 147 grain, 7.62x51 and the hard-hitting Type 56 Chinese AK, 7.62x39.In every case, the panels exceeded the NIJ standard for each threat / caliber.The original design out-performed the new design by a small factor for the 5.56 NATO round and the new design modestly out-performed the former with 7.62 variations. A final round of testing was dedicated to thermal cycling and performance data.OBL subjected a new panel to a temperature elevation for several hours simulating being stored in the trunk of a patrol or tactical vehicle.The panel was allowed to cool overnight.The following day the panel was reheated until fully normalized.The panel was removed from the oven and immediately subjected to three rounds of M193,returned to the oven until normalized and shot with three rounds of M80 Copper. The process was then repeated with rounds of Type 56 MSC.The panel experienced zero failures. This test is not an NIJ requirement, but in our opinion, is one of the most important performed as it shows our shield will maintain efficacy when stored and transported in real world situations. ARC’s dedication to research and testing ballistic armor reflects its desire to produce the finest ballistic protection available, worldwide.

For many of us, whole-body paralysis is a worst nightmare scenario. For a Minnesota National Guardsman, who goes by Drew Outstanding on X, that nightmare became a reality in April 2021. In the space of two weeks, Drew went from a normal, active lifestyle to waking up unable to move and then entering a medically-induced coma.Read the full article here: https://loom.ly/YnHwqFI

#analysis: US officer fatally shot Black woman Sonya Massey in her homeJuly 23, 2024"..Footage from a police body camera has shown a white officer in the US State of illinois shooting dead a 36 - Year old Black woman in her home after she call 911 to report a suspected intruder.The 36 - minute video, released by illinois State police on Monday, shows the moments leading up to, during and after the July 6 shooting of Sonya Massey, who had called the emergency line to report a potential "prowler' at her residence in Springfield.US President Joe Biden issued Statement on Massey's death, saying Monday it was a reminder "that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not". Massey's death is the latest incident of Black people killed by police in their homes in recent years.."https://lnkd.in/dkVijhpB#perspective Name 'Massey' is Luo, If it's a surname then Sonya Massey is a descendant of Jacobites original Welsh, Scott, English or Irish Israelites also Anglo-Saxon; Angelic Sons of Isaac.illinois is a variant of Luos. Jacobites will have to leave America.The United States has been at war for 228 of the last 249 years, or 93.5% of the calendar years between 1775 and 2024. The US Has Been at War My Entire Life. Will the Wars Ever End?6 May 2021 —The United States has been at war, or at least in armed conflicts of various sorts, often in distant lands, for more or less my entire life. Yes, for some of those years, that war was “cold” (which often meant that such carnage, regularly sponsored by the CIA, happened largely off-screen and out of sight), but war as a way of life never really ended, not to this very moment. In fact, as the decades went by, it would become the “infrastructure” in which Americans increasingly invested their tax dollars via aircraft carriers, trillion-dollar jet fighters, drones armed with Hellfire missiles, and the creation and maintenance of hundreds of military garrisons around the globe, rather than roads, bridges, or rail lines (no less the high-speed version of the same) here at home. During those same years, the Pentagon budget would grab an ever-larger percentage of federal discretionary spending and the full-scale annual investment in what has come to be known as the national security state would rise to a staggering $1.2 trillion or more.Zechariah 14:2-4The Destroyers of Jerusalem Destroyed2For I will gather all the nations for battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city. 3Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. 4On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half the mountain moving to the north and half to the south.
