A biometric passport is a combination of a paper and electronic identity document that used to authenticate the citizenship of travelers. The biometric passport is valid for 5 years for first time applicants, compared to 10 years passports without biometric features. The biometric passport is planned to have digital imaging and fingerprint biometrics placed on the radio frequency identification chip. A biometric passport uses the most advanced technology to verify a persons identity, looking the same as a regular passport, with the exception of the computer chip on the photo page.

Passports and ID cards are unlikely to actually use most the thirteen biometric indicators the government proposes to collect on all citizens. Passports are to be now based on biometric testing, and the passport's critical information is stored on a tiny RFID computer chip, much like how information is stored on smartcards.

Biometric passports first appeared in Belgium around the in 2004, putting the country a pioneer in the field. Biometric passports cannot be changed due to information only being able to be written to it once. Biometrics automates the process that verifies an individuals identity based on their physical characteristics. Biometrics included in a static chip provides a means by which the identity of visitors may be verified, and hinders entry by imposters and the use of fraudulent documents. Further advances in biometrics technology are growing all the time.

Biometric passport is a technology advancement that will spread across the world, and countries that have not adopted it will be alienated from rest of the world. The biometric passport is believed to be as a foolproof method to stop passport cheats in their tracks. A biometric passport is takes a scanned information of your photograph and stores it in a chip which is built into the passport itself. The DNA biometric passport is in development and has yet to be implemented fully, and governments that wish to implement it need to plan to ensure a smooth transition from the present system to the new system.

Do you feel that good things always happen to other people? If someone told you yoga could change your life exponentially would you believe them? Positive change starts from within. yoga will help you from the inside out, but you must believe you deserve better, envision it, take action, and never give up.

When I was growing up, some members of my family believed that good things only happen to other people. I was told, Success does not happen to our kind of people. Yet, some members of my family did not listen to this talk. My grandfather went into business for himself as a successful general contractor during the Depression.

The first book he gave me, as a child, was his copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. I was a book worm, so I read it more than once. We did not have computers in those days, so I referred to it so many times, the binding cracked and the pages fell out.

My Uncle had read the same copy, so I cannot take all the credit for the wear. Heres the interesting part: My Uncle went into business for himself and owned two successful shoe stores before he passed away. I left the corporate world and opened a wellness center, which trains yoga teachers worldwide.

My Uncle and Grandfather never studied Hatha yoga. Yet they both practiced Jnana yoga without realizing it. So, what is Jnana Yoga? Jnana Yoga is a spiritual path of compassion, discipline, study, visualization, and meditation.
