Discover Finds PayPal, But Where's the Mobile Wallet and Is Square Scalable?

ALISO VIEJO,CA (Sharewellnewswire.com) August 24, 2012 - Today Mobile Wallet Media announces it has published articles that shed light upon a potential security issue with PayPal’s In-Store Checkout services and discusses how Square might have difficulty in scaling it’s new Pay With Square service. Mobile Wallet Media’s PayPal article also asks, “Why are PayPal’s products being considered to be ‘mobile payments’ and where is PayPal’s mobile wallet?”

The mobile payments and mobile commerce news announcements have been many, fast and furious the past two weeks. First, Square announced it’s partnership with Starbucks. The new ‘Pay With Square’ product for Starbucks is said to work much like the Starbucks Card Mobile App. It is slated to be released for use in all 7,000 Starbucks stores this Fall.

Randy Smith, Founder and Chief Editor of Mobile Wallet Media, said “I love the Starbucks Card Mobile App. It is fast, simple, convenient, fun and rewarding. However, 'Pay With Square' may have a tough time scaling as fast as other Mobile Wallets, like Google, MCX and ISIS, if they fail to simplify integration at POS.”

Last week there was the announcement of a retailer network named Merchant Customer Exchange or MCX. This network will make a huge impact on industry as the top tier retail lineup includes Wal-Mart, Target, 7-11, Best Buy, CVS, Darden Restaurants and more. MCX has not revealed the technology to be used to enable their mobile wallet, nor have they hinted as to when the service will be available. Mr. Smith added “MCX also did not make it clear if this retail network will be open to adding additional competitive retailers.”

Just this past Wednesday PayPal announced a partnership with Discover. This partnership will make PayPal’s ‘In-Store Check-Out’, available everywhere Discover Card is accepted. Don Kingsborough, PayPal’s VP of Retail Services states, “This is an important deal for us, because it gets us to over seven million locations pretty seamlessly.”

Smith also shared, “Let’s not forget that Google’s announcement of it’s revamped and more secure and scalable Google Wallet ‘2.0’ and Apple’s acquisition of Authentec and it’s fingerprint authentication technology and makes everything even more interesting and complex.”

Smith said, “The dominos have just begun to fall, but fall they have, and I fully expect to soon see more major news announcements by Apple in coordination with the launch of it’s next iphone and yet another by PayPal. It’s the ‘Wild-Wild West in Mobile Payments.’ The land grab has just begun and the victors will be many and various. Some unexpected underdogs are sure to surface.”

Mobile Wallet Media also announces it will be in attendance at the upcoming industry event, “Mobile Engagement in Retail” on September 13-14, 2012.

New Neonatal Nurse Online Community Helps Answer Your Questions Regarding Career

Neonatal-Nurse.org is a new website that contains in-depth knowledge about neonatal nursing, emphasizing career information and discussion through the newest forum section.

United States (Sharewellnewswire.com) August 23, 2012 - When a child is born in a hospital, a doctor is responsible for the main task of helping deliver the baby. When the bundle of joy has finally arrived, he or she is brought under the care of a neonatal nurse, a registered nurse who specializes in providing nursing care for newborns. Most neonatal nurses care for infants until they are released from the hospital, but due to certain health problems, a neonatal nurse might provide nursing care much longer.

In the United States alone, more than 40,000 infants are born each year with low birth weights, but with the efforts of medical practitioners, survival rates are now 10 times better than a decade ago. With the ongoing presence of newboed Srns, and the increasing number of parents who need assistance in providing professional extra care for their babies, neonatal nurses propose to be a promising opportunity.

Neonatal-Nurse.org is a website that is dedicated to sharing the latest information about the career, neonatal nurse salary, programs and other related topics needed by practitioners to advance their careers. Launched just a couple of months ago, the website also houses a forum section, allowing people in the same profession to share updates and help each other.

Because the job of a neonatal nurse is all too delicate and complex to a certain extent, it is essential for anyone to undergo the right education and experience. Neonatal-Nurse.org offers a wide array of information about the trainings and degrees required to become a bona fide practitioner. In most American states, it takes four years to attain a degree in Bachelor of Science in Nursing, which is the most recommended path to become a neonatal nurse.

Neonatal-Nurse.org cites data from the U.S. Department of Labor, which points to health care sector adding on average of 20,000 new jobs for providers per month. Among others, neonatal nurse professionals are in high demand in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

To learn everything there is to know about neonatal nursing as a career in the United States, please visit http://www.neonatal-nurse.org/ for details.

Co-Founder of Global Mission for Children, Pastor Wilson Westphal, Announces the Expansion in Guinea Bissau, Africa

Pastor Wilson Westphal of Global Mission for Children.org, a Christian nonprofit child sponsorship organization funded by its founders, announces the breaking of ground for a church and a school on the island of Formosa, Guinea Bissau.

Bradenton, FL (Sharewellnewswire.com) August 23, 2012 - Pastor Wilson Westphal, senior Pastor of www.GlobalMissionForChildren.org announced today that they broke ground on the island of Formosa to build a church and a school as GMFC expands into other regions of Africa bringing food, medicine, education and the love of Christ to these people for the very 1st time in their lives.

GMFC was founded when Pastor Wilson and his Wife Pastor Andrea visited fulltime missionaries on the island of UNO off the coast of Guinea Bissau. They visited the missionaries in mid-April of this year for 2 weeks and what they experienced touched their hearts forever. They saw the incredibly dire situation of hunger, disease, illiteracy, government oppression and a plethora of other horrible issues that affect these people each and every day. Pastor Wilson explains “what we witnessed firsthand literally shook us to our core. There is not nearly enough food or clean water, diseases are killing 24,000 people daily which equates to 800 people per day in Africa alone, 75% of these deaths are children. 

Pastor Wilson comments “These deaths are the equivalent to 100 fully loaded commercial flights crashing in one day killing everyone on board.” Missionaries Jose & Sirlene Elison arrived on the island 8 ½ years ago with their 1 year old son. “This in an incredible act of kindness and their dedication and strength comes directly from God” states Pastor Wilson. “There is no way one could serve on a desolate island in the middle of the ocean on their own strength without blessings from God.” These missionaries have given up their entire lives to serve these forgotten souls. They have built 6 schools, 6 churches and a small un-sanitized medical room where they help medicate 10-40 people each and every day. Pastor Wilson states “unfortunately there is simply not enough money to help all the people that are hurting. Most all these deadly diseases are curable and for just a few dollars these precious children can live a healthy life. Jose Elison has a background in medicine graduating with t nursing degree and his wife Sirlene had a degree in teaching and has been instrumental in education 465 children on a daily basis from preschool to the 5th grade. “We need much more money to educate these children through high school so they can lead a productive life for the very 1st time in the history of Guinea Bissau, Niger and Nepal” Sirlene comments. GMFC is unique as 100% of all donations go directly to their mission fields to help children that are starving, diseased, lost and enslaved in Guinea Bissau & Niger Africa and Nepal Asia. The poorest countries in the world. What Pastor Wilson explains is in one word Unbelievable. He used an example of a horrible witchcraft cult where Mothers, Grandmothers and Aunts bring their 12-15 year old little girls to waiting men in the forest where they perform horrific acts. Rapes, beatings branding and total brainwashing are some of the rituals performed. When the girls return from these “rituals” you can see in their eyes they are broken and brainwashed. The girls also must do all the work like fetching water, which in most cases is 25 pounds, from the well and carrying it long distances. The men are in total control. GMFC is changing this as we bring people to Christ.

Another one of the founders of GMFC, James Miller, explains how the mission was founded and how the dedicated founders are funding GMFC out of their own pockets and explained the grave statistics about the continent of Africa. He reiterated this in a radio interview and explained the child sponsorship program they have where for just $1 per day one can sponsor a child and save their life. . It does not seem like a dollar per day would help but food only costs 20 cents per meal, rice and beans, and a teacher’s salary is $100 per month. That is a great salary considering the average person in the regions GMFC serves the average income is well under a dollar per day. The interview can be heard in its entirety by clicking here.

The goals of GMFC are having all 600 children sponsored by the end of 2012 and thousands more on the 18 remote islands off the Guinea Bissau coast by the end of 2013
