			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Forget the ATM.&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the brief message that Square is displaying on <a href="https://squareup.com/cash">a new page for Square Cash</a>. It looks like Square is about launch a new money transfer feature. </p>
<p>&#8220;Square Cash is the easiest way to send money to anyone, using just email and your debit card,&#8221; says Square on the <a href="https://squareup.com/help/en-us/article/5132-sending-square-cash">Square Cash about page</a>. Square explains the simple mechanics for Square Cash as such: all you have do do is send an email with the recipient&#8217;s email address, cc pay@square.com, enter a dollar amount in the subject line, and send away. </p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ll get a receipt each time you send money. You have the ability to cancel the payment by clicking a link within the confirmation email you receive. Keep in mind that you can only cancel a payment if it hasn&#8217;t yet been redeemed by your recipient,&#8221; says Square.</p>
<p>It&#8217;ll cost the sender $0.50 for each payment sent, and it will cost the recipient nothing. Recipients only need to link their debit accounts upon receiving a payment. Funds will be directly deposited within 48 hours. </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://cdn.ientry.com/sites/webpronews/article_pics/squarecash444.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="453" height="440" /></p>
<p>Currently, Square Cash is an invitation-only service, but you can&#8217;t even sign up yet. It appears that Square is simply picking some early testers. </p>
<p>“We’re excited to share Square Cash with our friends. We’ll continue to invite others to try it out in the coming weeks,&#8221; a Square spokesperson told <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/20/square-cash-will-let-you-send-money-to-your-friends-by-email/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29">TechCrunch</a>. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google announced a lot of things today, but some it didn&#8217;t all make into the Google I/O keynote. </p>
<p><a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/send-money-to-friends-with-gmail-and.html">On the Gmail blog</a>, Google announced new Google Wallet integration for Gmail, which comes in the form of an &#8220;Attach Money&#8221; button. Yep, you can send money as an attachment. A pretty good idea, as long as it doesn&#8217;t land in the spam folder. </p>
<p><center><iframe width="616" height="347" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JA8m0JOoNYQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The feature lets you send money by email even if the recipient does not have a Gmail address. </p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s free to send money if your bank account is linked to Google Wallet or using your Google Wallet Balance, and low fees apply to send money using your linked credit or debit card,&#8221; says Google Wallet product manager Travis Green. &#8220;To send money in Gmail, hover over the attachment paperclip, click the $ icon to attach money to your message, enter the amount you wish to send, and press send.&#8221;</p>
<p>The feature will only be available for desktop at first, but will likely come to mobile Gmail in the future. In the meantime, you can still use the Google Wallet app or wallet.google.com. </p>
<p>The feature is rolling out over the coming months to U.S. Gmail users who are 18 and over. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Get those lucky numbers ready, folks, because anyone who can buy a lottery ticket in the United States has a shot at the recently-updated Powerball jackpot, and it&#8217;s a big one. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/officials-estimate-powerball-jackpot-360m-200237427.html">According to reports</a>, lottery officials estimate the new total to be around the $360 million. The cash option for the third largest Powerball jackpot is almost $230 million, which would result in a pretty nice payday for the winner(s), regardless of the taxation commitments. As you&#8217;re probably aware, the odds of winning the lottery are incredibly long, something that&#8217;s perfectly illustrated <a href="http://thumbnails.visually.netdna-cdn.com/probability-of-winning-the-lotto-and-other-unlikely-things_50291a691f2d7.png" target="_blank">by an infographic</a> posted <a href="http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-11/dismal-odds-winning-lottery-infographic" target="_blank">over at PopSci.com</a>.</p>
<p>To put it simply, you have a <em>much</em> better chance of getting dealt a true Royal Flush than you do winning the lottery (1 in 649,740 versus 1 in 135-175 million). That being said, if you want a shot at the big money, you have to throw your hat into the ring. Furthermore, a 1 in 200 million chance is better than having a zero percent shot at the jackpot.</p>
<p>The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, May 21st, meaning you have some time to run out and get your Powerball tickets. If you don&#8217;t win, don&#8217;t fret. Be happy knowing you contributed to the next Powerball jackpot and go on about your  day. Of course, if you win, all bets are off. You&#8217;ll probably singing the following song a great deal:</p>
<p><center><iframe width="616" height="462" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jl1mQASHc48" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br />
But what else would you do? Donate it all? Spend it frivolously? Disappear from society to live on some huge estate in a foreign country? Or would you try to live the same kind of life you have now?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in February, <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/amazon-coins-bring-virtual-currency-to-kindle-fire-apps-and-games-2013-02">Amazon announced</a> that Amazon Coins, its new virtual currency, would be coming to Kindle Fire devices in May. It&#8217;s May, and today, the company announced that the currency is now available. </p>
<p>Customers can now start using the currency in any app from the Amazon Appstore. </p>
<p>To celebrate, the company is giving away 500 free coins to all Kindle Fire customers in the U.S. This is the equivalent of $5. The coins are being automatically deposited in users&#8217; accounts. </p>
<p>“Today we are giving Kindle Fire owners $5 worth of Coins to spend on new apps and games, or to purchase in-app items, such as recipes in iCookbook, song collections in SongPop or mighty falcon bundles in Angry Birds Star Wars. And with discounts of up to 10% when you buy Coins, this is a great way for customers to save money when they buy apps, games and in-app items,” said Mike George, Vice President of Apps and Games at Amazon. “We will continue to add more ways to earn and spend Coins on a wider range of content and activities—today is Day One for Coins.”</p>
<p>Developers will continue to earn the standard 70% revenue share, and Amazon will continue to support real currency as well. Amazon is encouraging the use of Amazon Coins, however, by letting customers get discounts of up to 10%. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canada just unveiled their new polymer $5 bank note, and they had a little help from someone that&#8217;s out of this world. </p>
<p>Literally. Well, not its orbit (apologies). Anyway, Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Chris Hadfield, Commander of the International Space Station, was part of the big reveal. For those of you who lost track, yes, Canada did just unveil a new style of currency in space. </p>
<p>“Canadians can be very proud of their new polymer bank notes,” said Finance Minister Flaherty. “With today’s unveiling of the final two notes in the series, one can see not only the unique story that each of the five denominations tells, but the unifying theme that underlies them all &#8211; the profound courage, determination, and ingenuity of our nation and its people.”</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the Bank of Canada&#8217;s rationale for the switch to polymer:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Almost half a billion of these new notes are now in circulation. Safer, cheaper, greener, the polymer notes have already proven their worth. Safer, because all the notes have the same state-of-the-art security features, using holography, transparency and other elements that make them difficult to counterfeit but easy for everyone, especially those behind the counter, to verify.</p>
<p>Cheaper, because the durable polymer material lasts at least 2.5 times longer than paper-based notes. This means that fewer notes will need to be printed, making the series more economical. Greener because, over the life of the series, fewer notes produced also means fewer notes transported. And when they do need to be replaced, the notes will be recycled in Canada.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The new $5 bill features images of Canadarm2 and Dextre &#8211; robots used to build and keep the ISS. It also features a portrait of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911.</p>
<p>You can watch the currency reveal from space below:</p>
<p><iframe width="616" height="347" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Mr0g_xD20mA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Canada already has $20, $50, and $100 polymer notes in circulation, and the Bank of Canada says that they are the most secure bank note that they&#8217;ve ever issued. </p>
<p>“I try to inspire young Canadians to aim high. This new $5 bill should do the same,” Commander Hadfield said. “By giving prominence to Canadian achievements in space, this bank note reminds us that not even the sky is the limit.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Powerball jackpot is currently at $140 million, as nobody won the jackpot prize on Wednesday. The estimated cash value is $91.3 million.</p>
<p>Wednesday&#8217;s winning numbers were: 9,19,31,56,59, Powerball: 2. </p>
<p>There were no winners for the $2 million Match 5 Power Play prize. The $1 million Match 5 prize saw winners in California, Connecticut and Florida. </p>
<p>There were a total of 664,631 winners in Wednesday&#8217;s drawing. $9,279,075 worth of non-jackpot prizes were won. </p>
<p>Odds of winning the jackpot, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, are 1 in 175,223,510.</p>
<p>The next drawing is on Saturday. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michigan lawmakers are <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/bill-increases-mich-minimum-wage-155145315.html">looking to raise their state&#8217;s minimum wage</a> as debate heats up across the country over how the current rate and any changes to it would affect workers. </p>
<p>The proposed bill looks to set the new minimum wage to $10 an hour, a change that would be gradually enacted over the next three years. </p>
<p>The bill comes from Democratic representatives, specifically Reps. John Switalksi of Warren and Rashida Tlaib of Detroit. According to them, raising the minimum wage would would give Michigan workers &#8220;a chance at a better life.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the AP, past measures to raise the minimum wage in the state have seen opposition from Republicans, who currently control the legislature. </p>
<p>The state of Michigan&#8217;s minimum wage is currently $7.40 an hour for all employers of 2 or more employees. Michigan workers are given overtime for hours exceeding 40 in a single week. </p>
<p>The federal minimum wage sits at $7.25 an hour. 22 states have minimum wage laws the same as the federal wage, and 19 states have minimum wages higher than $7.25. 4 states currently have minimum wages that are less than the federal rate and 5 states currently have no minimum wage laws on the books. </p>
<p>Recently, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren said that the minimum wage would <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/18/elizabeth-warren-minimum-wage_n_2900984.html">currently sit at $22 </a> minimum if it had kept up with worker productivity. President Obama <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/13/us-obama-speech-jobs-idUSBRE91C03K20130213">has proposed</a> raising the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Powerball jackpot is currently at $70 million, as nobody won the jackpot prize on Wednesday. The estimated cash value is $45.4 million. </p>
<p>Wednesday&#8217;s winning numbers were: 1, 36, 40, 52, 53, Powerball: 20. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Baby, <em>you&#8217;re</em> a rich man. </p>
<p>For the 25th consecutive year, Sir Paul McCartney has been named the <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/sunday-times-rich-list-top-1823958">richest musician in the U.K.</a> on the Sunday Times rich list. The 70-year-old former Beatle is estimated to be the proud owner of a 680 million pound (roughly $1.05 billion) fortune. He shares that fortune with his third wife, Nancy Shevell. </p>
<p>McCartney has topped this rich list for musicians every single year since it began in 1989. </p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/paul-mccartney/">Forbes</a>, McCartney racked up $57 million in earnings last year. </p>
<p>McCartney narrowly beat out Andrew Lloyd Webber (£620 million). In the third spot was U2 (as a whole), with an estimated worth of £520 million. Other top finishers on the music rich list (in order) were Sir Elton John, David and Victoria Beckham, Sir Mick Jagger, Michael Flatley, Keith richards, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, and Sting. </p>
<p>The Sunday Times also puts out a Young Music rich list, which was topped by Adele this time (£30 million). She was followed by Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis, Katie Melua, and Florence Welch. </p>
<p>Recently, you may have seen McCartney close the opening ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics and perform alongside the surviving members of Nirvana at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert. That was seen by approximately 2 billion people worldwide. </p>
