iOS 12 may enable new NFC features in Apple iPhone
According to a recent report, iOS 12 may enable additional NFC features in supported Apple iPhone models, which will give some third-party developers access to the secure wireless chip. Starting with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple added an NFC chip in its mobile devices, which the company has largely restricted to Apple Pay - Apple's mobile payments system.
Unlike Android devices, where third-party developers have free reign on using NFC features, Apple has tight control over how the NFC capabilities of iPhone are used. However, if the reports are true, then iOS 12 will give third-party developers more options to exploit the NFC chip - like making the iPhone act as hotel door key or serve as a virtual transit card for easier transportation.

Trump issues orders to reduce restrictions on firing federal workers
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 05/25/18 05:12 PM EDT - The Hill
____
I have refrained posting this info because I had rather see it posted on The "Executive Order Federal Registry" first. It seems to be "Real News" so I will come back and post links here, when they become available on The Fed Registry after the Memorial Day Weekend.
____
President Trump issued three executive orders on Friday aimed at cutting down on the time it takes to fire federal employees.
White House officials announced the orders on a call with reporters before they were released later in the evening. The officials said the changes are aimed at saving taxpayers $100 million per year.
Trump's directives emphasize a merit-based system for employees, while limiting the amount of time required before an agency can fire a federal employee.
They also encourage agencies to fire poor-performing employees instead of first suspending them, and direct agencies to limit the amount of time a poor-performing employee is given the chance to show improvement.

An app featuring an augmented reality view of our planet soared past its crowdfunding goal in just a few hours.
The AstroReality app, called Earth, has raised more than $68,800 on Kickstarter. That's more than twice the project's $30,000 goal, with 42 days to go. It comes with a physical globe that ties in with the app's capabilities.
"Just open the app and point your phone's camera at the model for a deeply immersive learning experience," the app's Kickstarter page says. Earth includes information on animals, plants, geology, the environment, anthropology and meteorology.
"Earth's technology takes you through time to explore our planet's rich geographic history, along with the current state of our world due to climate change, natural disasters and more," the page added.
Users can also explore the globe using a smart voice technology called Gaea. To activate it, users just need to say, "Hey, Gaea!" and ask questions, such as, "How many people live in New York City?" The science facts were compiled in collaboration with J.R. Skok, a planetary scientist at the SETI Institute.
