Service To Check Customer Identities

Companies May Be Held Liable for Deals With Terrorists, ID Thieves
New and little-known regulations could mean fines, or even jail time, for companies that do business with bad guys


...
If you're a security pro, you might be familiar with the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) requirements, which basically require companies to check their customers' identities against a list of known terrorists to prevent them from unwittingly providing products or services to an enemy. Most major credit bureaus check customers and applicants against these lists, so if you're vetting your partners and customers that way, you're probably covered.

However, you may not have heard yet about the Federal Trade Commission's "Red Flag" program, which is designed to warn companies when they are about to do business with identity thieves or money-laundering operations. The Red Flag program, which takes effect Nov. 1, requires enterprises to check their customers and suppliers against databases of known online criminals -- much like what OFAC does with terrorists -- and also carries potential fines and penalties for businesses that don't do their due diligence before making a major transaction.

Domain Name Registrar

Expensive hobby.

Registrar Accreditation: Financial Considerations
US$2,500 non-refundable application fee, to be submitted with application.
US$4,000 yearly accreditation fee due upon approval and each year thereafter.
Variable fee (quarterly) billed once you begin registering domain names or the first full quarter following your accreditation approval, whichever occurs first. This fee represents a portion of ICANN's operating costs and, because it is divided among all registrars, the amount varies from quarter to quarter. Recently this fee has ranged from US$1,200 to S$2,000 per quarter.
Transaction-based gTLD fee (quarterly). This fee is a flat fee (currently $0.20) charged for each new registration, renewal or transfer. This fee can be billed by the registrar separately on its invoice to the registrant, but is paid by the registrar to ICANN. 


Also requires proof on financial backing:
liquid capital immediately available in the applicant's name at the commencement of the accreditation period in an amount of US$70,000 or more before the ICANN accreditation becomes effective.

Composting Supplies

Garden Composter $349.00

"Sun-Mar knows the best way to compost is by using a rotating drum. They've been using a rotating Bio-Drum™ in their landmark toilets for over 25 years. The new Sun-Mar garden composters take this concept a step further by adding a patented double-drum to the design. Compost materials go in the top and finished compost exits automatically out the end as the drum rotates. No more digging, forking, poking, lifting, or other ""work"" that previously went with composting! Patented AutoFlow© Biodrum: the Breakthrough Idea Easy to feed : Material goes in through easy-access top ports.
Back-saving ball bearings mean easy turning.
