Richard Jolly February 24, 2023, 11:31 PM The warrior centre-back saved the surprise for the end. Lisandro Martinez's conversation had been sprinkled with the word "fight" and it scarcely felt surprising, There are sleek, elegant defenders who steal in unnoticed, as though they can complete the game without a speck of dirt on them, and there are stolid, solid ones, primed to head anything away but sometimes essentially uninteresting. And then there are those such as Martinez, a charismatic scrapper whose brand of full-blooded commitment has made him a Manchester United cult hero. But not, it transpired, a serial miscreant. His Albiceleste team-mate Cristian Romero may conform more to the image of the Argentinian centre-back, leaping recklessly where others fear to tread, almost accepting red cards as an occupational hazard. Martinez can seem no less combative, but he has managed to ally a willingness to tackle with an awareness of what he can and cannot get away with. He ...

PIN-FREE: The biometric cards let customers authenticate contactless transactions above the €50 limit Customers of French bank Crédit Agricole de Lorraine can now apply for a biometric card that enables them to authenticate contactless payments above the country's €50 (US$53) contactless transaction limit with their fingerprint and without needing to use their PIN. The regional bank is rolling out biometric Gold Mastercard and World Elite Mastercard deferred debit cards equipped with a fingerprint sensor that customers can activate by registering their fingerprint using an enrolment reader. The Crédit Agricole banking group began issuing biometric deferred debit cards in April 2021 following a pilot launched in June 2019. Next: Visit the NFCW Expo to find new suppliers and solutions

Last week it was reported that French consumer group UFC-Que Choisir has initiated legal action against 12 banks which it accuses of refusing to reimburse people who have money stolen from their account through no fault of their own.  Read more: 12 French banks taken to court for not reimbursing fraud victims The banks included in the case are: La Banque Postale, Crédit Agricole, Banque Populaire, BNP Paribas, Société Générale, CIC, LCL, Boursorama, ING, Nickel, Cetelem and Floa Bank. "The law says that a consumer who is the victim of fraud must be reimbursed immediately. And when [the account holder] has been negligent, the bank must prove this if it is to avoid reimbursing them," UFC-Que Choisir said. "Unfortunately, too often this is not the case," and banks either automatically place the blame on account holders or claim that their insurance will not allow for reimbursement, the consumer group states. We asked Connexion readers who had encountered bank...

L'inflation, qui a atteint 6,2 % en rythme annuel en novembre, se ressentira-t-elle aussi sur les tarifs bancaires qui s'appliqueront début 2023 ? Très peu. Sur ce terrain, les consommateurs semblent en effet globalement à l'abri d'une flambée des prix. Selon les calculs réalisés pour Le Monde par le comparateur Panorabanques, les tarifs des banques de réseau n'augmenteront « que » de 0,43 % le 1 er  janvier. L'étude, basée sur sept profils de clients, porte sur un panel de 103 établissements. A la rentrée, les banques s'étaient engagées auprès du ministre de l'économie, Bruno Le Maire, à ne pas relever leurs tarifs de plus de 2 % l'an prochain. Promesse tenue, donc. L'objectif fixé n'était toutefois pas des plus ambitieux : « La hausse annuelle étant généralement en dessous de ce seuil d...

Конгресс США планирует разместить отслеживающие устройства в автомобиле каждого американца, и это далеко не самое ужасное положение проекта закона, который рассматривается американскими законодателями. Сенат уже одобрил новую законодательную инициативу, которая, в случае ее утверждения Конгрессом, будет предусматривать, что в каждом транспортном средстве, находящемся на территории США, должны присутствовать «глаза и уши государства». Сенатский законопроект 1813, призван сделать обязательной установку регистраторов и коммуникационных устройств в автомобилях, принадлежащих жителям США, посредством которых можно было бы узнать о местонахождении и действиях водителей. Но авторы данного проекта на этом не остановились, еще один пункт предложенного закона предполагает возможность сделать недействительным паспорт гражданина из-за неуплаты налогов, что, по сути, не позволит должникам выезжать за пределы США. Этот проект получил название «Акт движения вперед к прогрессу в 21-м веке» или MAP-...

By the time he walked into West Bridgewater Coin and Jewelry Buyers in December with a story to tell and things to sell, Robert M. Burchell had experience. He had since 2015 been caught trying to walk out of big-box stores and supermarkets with, among other things, TVs, cell phones, power tool batteries, home security cameras, a camcorder, carpet cleaning machine, chainsaw, generator, and bags of beef jerky.   But now it was different. Now he was working for the New Bedford Whaling Museum with access, he later told police, to the whole place — hundreds of thousands of historical artifacts. According to felony larceny charges now pending against the 42-year-old man, he was moving onto fresh terrain with thefts from the museum, a venerable city cultural institution drawing more than 70,000 visitors last year, and even more before the pandemic.  Burchell would step into the collectibles shop in West Bridgewater not once but five times in two week...
