Malaysia has announced that new private sector-led investments valued at RM9 billion was injected along its east coast, which include tourism projects and a college project, to spur economic growth in one of its less-developed regions.
Radiant Starfish Development will spend RM4.2 billion for the construction of an eco-tourism resort at the southern Johor state, while DRB-Hicom will invest RM593 million for the establishment of an automotive college in Pahang state, said Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
"The scale of these investments is an endorsement of the region's competitiveness in attracting investors and spurring economic growth."
"The bulk of these investments are from Malaysian companies. This proves that there is still capacity for more local companies to invest domestically," added Najib.
The investments are focused on the East Coast Economic Region (ECER), along Malaysia's less developed eastern peninsula, which covers a 66,000 sq km region and comprises the states of Terengganu, Pahang, Kelantan and a part of Johor. The government aims to further develop ECER's infrastructure, resource-based manufacturing, logistics and tourism.
Najib noted that Encorp will construct a golf resort in Cherating, Pahang, while Johor Corp will invest RM1 billion to develop a 142ha resort town in Mersing, Johor.

Quick Fixes
If you've ever had to talk to one of the higher-ups at your job and felt nervous about it, just imagine how they must feel: Some of those corporate fat cats only know about the existence of non-rich people from watching Downton Abbey. That's why sometimes a giant company will end up trying hilariously misguided tactics to get chummy with their employees that eventually blow up in their faces, like ...
#4. Walmart Asks Employees for Good Reviews, Gets the Opposite
As children, we are expected to own up to our mistakes and learn from them. As adults, we learn to simply blame our idiot mistakes on someone else and palpate the legal system until a shitload of money flies out.
#4. A Billionaire Sues a Casino Because He Sucks at Gambling
Real estate billionaire Harry Kakavas has a bit of a gambling problem. This is another way of saying that he threw down over a billion dollars at Australia's Crown Casino in the span of 16 months, leading us to wonder how he ever became a billionaire in the first place.
Jamesbehave / Wikipedia
The Crown spent the bulk of their winnings redefining the word "tacky."
When you totally excise all the racial purity rhetoric and genocide and wholesale destruction of humanity, Adolf Hitler is basically Mr. Bean. At least that's the verdict of some folks across Asia, where der Fuhrer's sourpuss countenance has inspired everything from bars in Seoul to Mongolian neo-Nazi groups.
Dan Chung for the Guardian
What happened, Mongolia? You used to be cool.
What's your worst nightmare? Showing up to school naked? Forgetting about a big test? Or accidentally walking in on your grandma doing a #2? Trick question, fools! We all know that the ultimate nightmare is accidentally broadcasting your freaky masturbatory preferences to the world, which is A) more prevalent than you think and B) exactly what happened to these poor SOBs.
#3. Professor Forgets to Unplug Laptop from Projector, Streams Porn Online
After a long day at work, some people just want to sit back, relax, and watch total strangers simulate making genetic clones of themselves on the Internet. For one professor, however, waiting for the work day to end just wasn't going to cut it. So once his students had left, he decided to go to a little site known as PornHub, which unnamed sources tell us is not a tasty new sandwich stand that specializes in po'boys.
But Professor Numbnuts forgot one tiny detail: unplugging the laptop from the projector.

I love the colors and pose of the girl, very inspiring work you have
I'm quite surprised at the fact that you're not getting more recognition for your work. Even though I suppose this particular one is a bit graphic for my taste it's still a fantastic illustration. You have a very unique style and you do a great job with compostition and color and all that. The expression on the doll's face reminds me of Chucky from the Child's Play movies. Scary.
Oh and I also love the little Starbucks-esque reference in the corner. It adds a nice touch.

- Why sites which go through privoxy are handled by localhost ACL? I mean when a say

- How to configure squid, to handle i2p requests by i2p-router, requests to localhost(127.0.0.1 and localhost) run directly and all other requests handle by privoxy? (Now it almost works, i2p works fine, but I could not get the all localhost sites handeled by direct connection)

Unscrew carefully the outer lens elements and you will observe the two macro lenses exposed from behind the wide angle and fisheye. The company has done a masterful job of designing one unified lens rig that easily switches between its four different focal lengths, with lenses in place simultaneously on front and rear iPhone cameras.
There are four important things you need to know before using your new olloclip 4-in-1 Lens for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus with your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus:

As digital photography has rapidly increased in popularity in recent years, so have advanced photographic techniques such as High Dynamic Range Imaging, commonly known as HDR. Digital cameras are limited in the range of light intensity they can handle in a given scene. Situations with both very bright and dark areas will exceed the dynamic range capability of the camera sensor. This requires the photographer to decide whether to expose for the dark areas and blow out the light areas, or to expose for the light areas and lose detail in the dark sections of the image. In short, they have to make a compromise and choose to preserve detail in some areas of the photo, and allow it to be lost in other areas. HDR seeks to overcome this issue by allowing for a wide dynamic range within one photograph.

text: Posted February 21, 2014 Not just one bad game, he's had around 6 really bad ones this season. A few other's that he shot horribly in, but was saved by free throws. Just watch his games against LSU and UNC where he shot a combine 6-20 from the field, 17 points 10 rebounds and 7 turnovers in those two games. I highlight those two because those are by far two of his worst performances this season. I'd say it's more around 4 bad ones. And, Randle does tend to turnover the ball a lot at times, but that was early on in the season. It's been okay recently. The good outweighs the bad with Randle. He's still a damn good player. It's hard to be nitpicking with these kids. They all have positives and negatives. But, there's more positives. I just see Randle and Parker being the two safest propsects in this draft, but Randle more as a player who could impact as a rookie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heffner, Gregg Hoffman, Oren Koules, Stacey Testro, James Wan, Leigh Whannell Screenwriter: Leigh Whannell, Darren Lynn Bousman Film Description: Jigsaw, the diabolical criminal who captured the imagination of horror fans in the 2004 hit Saw, returns in this equally bloody sequel. Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) is a police detective who, after discovering the aftermath of a particularly gruesome murder, is convinced that Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is up to his ugly tricks again. Matthews' hunch turns out to be correct, but the master criminal proves to be disconcertingly easy to capture. As it happens, Jigsaw is eager to be put behind bars in order to throw the authorities off his trail as he once again punishes people who in his eyes have transgressed the boundaries of acceptable moral behavior. But instead of trapping two people in a filthy dungeon where they must engage in a terrible contest in order to win their freedom, eight people have been locked away by Jigsaw, and they must torture their bodies and minds to achieve the terrible justice Jigsaw seeks.

Fixed by: 1. Deleting Quick Cache plugin via ftp. 2. Updating site to PHP 3.
Just deleting the plugin is not enough to fix the site. Got a fatal error until I updated to PHP 3.

The treatment of vulvar cancer depends upon the type of cancer, its stage, and its location. Your age, overall health, and the importance of maintaining sexual function will affect treatment choices, too.
Surgery is the most common treatment for vulvar cancer. The exact type of surgery you have will depend on how much tissue needs to be removed:
Laser surgery burns off the layer of abnormal cells. Doctors treat VIN with laser surgery but not invasive cancer.
Excision (sometimes called wide local excision) removes the cancer and some surrounding normal tissue.
Vulvectomy removes part or all of the vulva and the underlying tissue. A simple vulvectomy removes only the vulva. A partial radical vulvectomy removes part of the vulva and the underlying tissue. A complete vulvectomy removes the entire vulva and the tissue underneath it, including the clitoris. The impact on sexual function depends on how much of the vulva is removed.
Pelvic exenteration is the most extensive surgery. It includes vulvectomy, the removal of the pelvic lymph nodes, and the removal of one or more these structures: the vagina, rectum, lower colon, bladder, uterus, and cervix.
The surgeon will try to remove all of the cancer cells while preserving as much sexual function as possible.
Radiation is usually started after surgery. However, if the cancer affects a large area, radiation may be used before surgery to reduce its size.
Chemotherapy (anticancer drugs) for vulvar cancer is being studied. Researchers are testing a new treatment for women with severe cases of vulvar cancer. This treatment involves receiving chemotherapy intravenously (into a vein) along with radiation therapy prior to surgery.
The greatest challenge is to select a treatment that maximizes the chances of removing all of the cancer while preserving sexual function, which can be lost with aggressive surgery.
Rare forms of vulvar cancer may be linked to cancers elsewhere in the body. That may require more testing, treatment, and monitoring.

The UFC is slated to return to Toronto for the second time in 2011 for UFC 140 from the Air Canada Centre on Dec. 10.
In April, the promotion sold out the 55,000-seat Rogers Centre to set a North American attendance record for the sport of mixed martial arts.
Headlining the card will be a light heavyweight championship bout between current divisional kingpin Jon Jones and former champion Lyoto Machida. Jones earned the belt in March by defeating Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, the very man who took the gold from Machida.
In the night's co-main event, a rematch from UFC 92 is on deck as heavyweights Frank Mir and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira lock horns for a second time.
Mir defeated "Big Nog" by second-round TKO in the first meeting, but the Brazilian is out to prove that a rumored staph infection was to blame for the lethargic performance.
Also on the main card, Nogueira's twin brother, Antonio Rogerio, will battle former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz. The two veterans look to remain relevant in the crowded 205-pound division.

There are a number of times I've run into a simple pattern when programming in Java or C++ for which a custom control structure could reduce the boilerplate within my code. It goes something like:
if( Predicate ){
return Value
that is, a "return if"-type statement. I've tried making functions with signature like
foo[A,B]( pred:((A,A)=>Boolean), value:Option[B] ) but then I wind up checking if I've returned Some or None. I'm tripped up by the
return statement.
Is there an inherit way of making such control structures in functional languages or more specifically Scala?
I was not as clear with my description and it's confusing people who are trying to help me. The key reason my
foo doesn't work is that it can't short-circuit the evaluation of the containing function. That is
def intersect( geometry:Geometry, reference:Geometry ):Geometry = {
return_if( withinBounds( geometry, projection ), logToString( logger, "Geometry outside " + projection.toString ), EmptyGeometry() )
return_if( topologicallyCorrect( geometry ), intersect( correct( geometry ), reference )
//rest of the function
and still allow for tail recursion within the

BofA Sells $2.5 Billion of Bonds Amid Foreclosure Deal Talks
Bank of America Corp. sold $2.5 billion of bonds as it nears a settlement on state and federal claims over faulty foreclosures that's increasing investor confidence in credit of the biggest U.S. bank.
The transaction included $2 billion of 3.75 percent, five-year notes that yield 205 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries and $500 million of three-year, floating-rate securities that pay 155 basis points more than the three-month London interbank offered rate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The cost to protect the debt of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America from losses decreased today as the lender, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and two other firms are in advanced talks that may result in a settlement, which may exceed $20 billion, according to two people briefed on the matter who declined to be identified because the talks are private.
Credit-default swaps on Bank of America fell 4.5 basis points to 154 basis points as of 10:10 a.m. in New York, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by CME Group Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
The contracts have dropped 27 basis points since June 27, the day before the lender agreed to pay $8.5 billion to resolve claims over sour mortgages made my investors including BlackRock Inc. Spreads on Bank of America's bonds have narrowed 9 basis points over that span, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data.
Prior Offering
Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
In March, in its last offering of five-year, fixed-rate notes, Bank of America issued $1.5 billion of 3.625 percent debt that paid 172 basis points, or 1.72 percentage points, more than similar-maturity Treasuries, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The notes traded yesterday at 100.7 cents on the dollar to yield 3.45 percent, or 181 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries, according to Trace, the bond price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

A digital receiver architecture for short-range communications systems like Bluetooth is presented. The architecture is tailored to a highly integrated Bluetooth single-chip integrated circuit (IC) and can easily be adapted to other communications systems using a Gaussian frequency-shift keying (GFSK ) modulation scheme. The single-chip IC integrates the complete digital baseband and radio frequency (RF) functionality on a single die and is realized in a 0.25-mum complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology targeted for cost efficiency. The superior performance of this digital receiver architecture compared to the state-of-the-art short-range communications receivers is shown. Simulation and measurement results are presented showing a receiver sensitivity of 87 dBm and excellent co-channel and adjacent channel interference performance.

An S-band 50 MW klystron (Fig. 4) was successfully developed by the Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IECAS) for linear accelerators. A structure of six-cavity and single output window was adopted, and three prototypes were fabricated and tested before November of 2005. Although the first tube suffered from short circuit of heater as reaching operating voltage of 220 kV, the second and the third ones have made a success. For the third klystron, under the conditions of an RF pulse width of 4 mus, a repetition rate of 50 Hz, a beam voltage of 305.9 kV and a beam current of 368 A, the peak output power is 51.4 MW, efficiency is 45.6%, and gain is 54 dB. This paper describes the design ideas, simulation and test results.

Rethinking Which Accounts Qualify For Deposit Insurance
The FDIC can streamline its operations and promote a more stable financial sector by correctly identifying which funds should qualify for insurance. Insuring only those deposits identified as being both germane to a bank's maturity mismatch and deposited by an individual with the motive of having on-demand availability would hold banks accountable for the full costs of offering risky "deposit-like" products, while simultaneously removing the subsidized gains to depositors holding these "deposit-like" accounts. To the extent that brokered deposits appear similar to core deposits, yet lack the same uncertainty-hedging motive, removing them from the list of insurable funds would promote banking-sector stability by strengthening bank balance sheets.

Walter Mazzarri's side failed to take advantage of their man advantage following Mathieu Flamini's dismissal in the second half, recording a draw that maintains the four point lead over Milan in the race for second place.
Milan boss Massimilliano Allegri's omission of Stephan El Shaarawy from the starting line-up came as a surprise, particularly with Mario Balotelli suspended for the game.
The home side started the brighter of the two teams and it was Milan who took the lead just before the half hour mark. Robinho's good work on the right, cutting inside the pitch saw the ball break to Flamini who swept home with his left foot to make it 1-0.
However, it took Napoli just four minutes to level the score, with Goran Pandev poking the ball past Milan keeper Christian Abbiati from close range after a pinpoint pass through by Marek Hamsik.
The equaliser appeared to reinvigorate the visitors who took control of the match as the first half came to a close. An otherwise quiet Edinson Cavani came close to giving his side the lead, but saw Abbiati get his fingertips on a looping effort to maintain parity heading into the break.
Both sides started the second half rather more tentative than they ended the first, with Pandev coming closest to adding a second goal to his name, firing an arrowed strike goalwards for Abbiati to save.
The dynamic of the contest shifted after Flamini's red card for a rash challenge on Juan Zuniga, with Napoli introducing striker Emmanuele Calaio in attempt to make their numerical advantage tell.
Having been waiting with his strip on since half-time El Shaarawy was finally introduced with less than 20 minutes remaining, but had a limited impact as Napoli dominated possession in their search for a late winner.
However, the Italian international did create a chance for strike-partner Giampaolo Pazzini following some clever juggling inside the opposition penalty area, but Pazzini's effort sailed high of the target.
The final six minutes of regular time saw four yellow cards dished out by referee Gianluca Rocchi as what had been a free flowing encounter in the first half turned increasingly fiery.
Napoli continued to pepper the Milan box with deep crosses and long-range shots, with Calaio coming closest with a strained header, but Milan held on to a point that keeps them in the hunt for automatic Champions League qualification.

Phoenix Suns
Suns coach Gentry: 'It was a total abortion, really'
Losing a game is bad.
Losing a game to the Detroit Pistons is worse.
Losing a game to the Detroit Pistons by a score of 117-77 — a 40 points margin — is, well, we'll let Suns coach Alvin Gentry tell you what it is.
"There's nothing to say, it was a total abortion, really," Gentry told FoxSports Arizona after the game Wednesday. "I wish there was an easier way to put it, but we sucked in all phases of the game."
The Suns were tied with the Pistons, who entered the game just 4-11 on the season, 24-24 at the end of the first quarter.
From there they were outscored 93-53, and never even threatened to make any kind of run.
"It's the first game I can say that I didn't think we competed hard and didn't try to match their energy level, Gentry said.
The Suns, who fell to 7-9 on the season, are in the middle of a six-game road trip. They're 1-2 so far after beating Cleveland but losing to Philadelphia and Detroit, and now head north to take on the Toronto Raptors before facing the New York Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies.
Gentry called his team's performance in Detroit "beyond embarrassing," adding that if he was a Suns fan or part of management he'd be "totally pissed off, and rightfully so."
The Suns shot 34.1 percent from the field, made just six of their 21 three point attempts, were outrebounded and had more turnovers than assists.
In short, Gentry is absolutely correct.
"There was nothing that we did that you could even say was NCAA quality," he said.
That may be an unnecessary shot at college ballers, but we understand.

Keith Bjork's long wait ended Saturday during the final round of the Amarillo Country Club Whing Ding Invitational.
The 45-year-old surgeon converted key par putts at 17 and 18 that enabled him and Casey Weiss to capture the low-ball partnership event by two shots over Tom Doughtie and Jeff Maynard.
Bjork and Weiss shot a closing round of 2-under 68 in wind that blew steadily at 20-25 mph and finished the 54-hole event at 12-under 198. Doughtie and Maynard, who took the lead by a shot when they birdied 15, bogeyed 17 and 18 for a 1-under 69 that left them at 10-under 200.
The win was especially gratifying for Bjork as it earned him a berth in the Coors Tournament of Champions that begins Aug. 16.
''I've been trying for such a long time to get into the Tournament of Champions,'' Bjork said. ''Winning this tournament makes the wait worth it. I can't say enough about Casey. He's a great partner, and I'm proud to win with him.''
Bjork dedicated his first win in a local summer major to his new bride Shannon. They were married July 28 and delayed their honeymoon until after this tournament.
Weiss won for the fourth time in as many starts this summer. He captured the Ron Clark/Miller Lite Tournament, the Michelob Ultra Men's City Championship and the Toot'n Totum Tall Tower Open in June. His wife gave birth to their first child in July, and this is the first tournament he has played since.
If Weiss were to win the Tournament of Champions, he would be only the second person to win every summer major he played in during the same year. The other was Ryan Palmer in 1997.
Bjork and Weiss began the final round with a one-shot lead after shooting back-to-back 65s on Thursday and Friday.
They made only three birdies, with Weiss making all of them. Bjork, however, made a handful of key pars that kept their round going. None was bigger than the ones he made at the tough 215-yard par-3 17th and 435-yard par-4 18th.
''I've done thousands of surgeries,'' Bjork said. ''That is easy compared to standing over a 5- or 6-foot putt for par.''
Doughtie and Maynard made birdies at 7, 13 and 15 to overtake Bjork and Weiss with three holes to play.
Weiss hit a huge drive at the 367-yard par-4 16th, chipped close and made the birdie putt to leave both teams at 12 under.
Weiss made bogey at 17, but Bjork drained a 6- to 7-foot par putt. Doughtie hit a poor tee shot at the hole and made bogey, while Maynard three-putted for a bogey as well.
At 18, Bjork missed the green with his approach shot but chipped within 6 feet and rolled it in for the par that clinched the tournament. Doughtie's approach at the final hole found a sand trap, while Maynard's ended up in a grass bunker. Each went on to make bogey.
Bjork joins a T of C field that includes Doughtie, Weiss, Ian Rice, Greg Golladay, Kyle Kelting, Luke Kane and Jud Hightower. The Coors Partnership at Comanche Trail, the final T of C qualifying event, begins Friday.

Last October, BMW on Demand was launched, marking the automaker's entry into the car-sharing industry to compete with the likes of Zipcar and Daimler's Car2Go. However, unlike Zipcar and Car2Go, BMW on Demand offers access to all of the automaker's vehicles, including asphalt terrors like the M3 and M6. Expanding upon the principles behind BMW on Demand, the automaker, with assistance from Sixt AG, recently launched the DriveNow car-sharing program.
DriveNow is a car-sharing venture that will be offered in Munich, Germany this April and, later, in Berlin. BMW and Sixt, under the joint venture name of DriveNow, intend to offer fuel-efficient premium vehicles that can be hired and dropped off "wherever the customer needs them," according to BMW. The German automaker will provide the vehicles, while Sixt will pitch in its car-sharing know-how and networking capabilities.
As for pricing, BMW says that users will pay a one-time registration fee of 29 euros ($41 U.S. at the current exchange rate) and 29 cents per minute of use. This per-minute rate includes any fees associated with parking and covers the cost of fuel for the vehicle.
BMW hopes to offer DriveNow in more European cities in the future and even says that taking this car-sharing scheme to the international level is a possibility. But it all starts in Munich, where BMW will keep it simple by offering DriveNow members access to two models; the Mini Cooper and the BMW 1-Series. Hop the jump to catch a clip of BMW's DriveNow car-sharing program.
[Source: BMW]
Innovative mobility concept for inner cities
Munich . The BMW Group and Sixt AG are planning a unique and innovative car sharing venture. With effect from April 2011 onwards - initially in Munich and later in Berlin - the two companies intend to join forces in offering a modern mobility concept under the brand-name DriveNow; this new product will combine vehicles and service of the highest quality with simple, flexible usage. DriveNow is the first car sharing concept to place an emphasis on efficient premium vehicles and comprehensive service. Vehicles may be hired and dropped off wherever the customer needs them, thus clearly differentiating DriveNow from products offered by other competitors.
Sixt AG and the BMW Group intend to bundle their car sharing activities in the DriveNow joint venture, in which each company will hold a 50 percent stake. The BMW Group will provide the premium vehicles and the technology within the cars, while Sixt AG will contribute premium services, car-hire know-how, IT systems and a comprehensive customer registration network.
The BMW Group will be offering DriveNow under the new sub-trademark BMW i, which stands for innovative mobility services and which will reinforce the position of the original BMW brand as a sustainable and forward-looking brand.
Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management of the BMW AG for Sales and Marketing stated: "As a mobility provider, the BMW Group is not simply an automobile manufacturer. There is a growing demand for flexible mobility products in urban areas. DriveNow's premium car sharing services are aimed precisely at this gap in the market. We are aiming to launch a profitable new line of business while at the same time introducing potential new customers to our brands." Mr. Robertson also went on to say that car sharing also has a role to play in cutting down traffic volumes, by reducing the time spent searching for parking spaces and in providing an alternative replacement for little-used, old and inefficient vehicles.
Detlev Pätsch, Member of the Sixt AG Board of Management responsibly for Operations stated: "In the middle of 2008, Sixt pioneered innovative car sharing when it started up its SIXTI Car Club in Berlin. Together with BMW, we have now taken this concept a stage further to become DriveNow. The wealth of experience which we have already gained in car rental processes and fleet management systems will enable us from the outset to offer our DriveNow customers complication-free mobility combined with excellent customer service, the basis for a sustainable and profitable business model."
Easy use
DriveNow is a car sharing scheme that is not dependent on car hire stations. Fixed pick-up and drop-off points are not necessary. Customers will be able to find available vehicles via the internet under www.drive-now.com, via a smartphone app or simply at the roadside. Vehicles can be used immediately without advance reservation or they may be booked in advance via internet or smartphone app. The system is "keyless": a conventional car key is not necessary. DriveNow vehicles can be opened and closed with a chip on the driving license and activated by pressing the start button.
Having completed an application under www.drive-now.com, it is then only necessary to carry out a one-off registration at a Sixt station in order to check driving license details and enter the chip onto the driving license. Registration can also be carried out at Sixt stations in selected BMW or MINI branches.
18 to 21 year-old beginner drivers can also become active DriveNow members if they have already participated successfully in an approved driving safety training course. The BMW Group also offers such training courses.
Transparent price model
The DriveNow price model will be simple, transparent and all-inclusive. Users pay a one-off registration fee of euro 29. The charge for using vehicles is 29 cents (including sales tax) per minute. This rate per minute covers all costs, including parking fees and fuel. For the MINI Cooper there is a maximum hourly charge of euro 14.90. If the customer wants to interrupt the journey but keep the DriveNow vehicle, it only costs 10 cents per minute. In thus way, DriveNow combines the benefits of this innovative mobility concept which does not necessarily involve hire-stations with the functionality of traditional, stationary car sharing. . DriveNow is also making special introductory offer for the first 1,000 members. The one-off registration fee is reduced to euro 19 and they also receive 90 minutes free of charge.
In addition to free parking in public areas in the centre of town, DriveNow will also make spaces available in selected multi-storey car parks as required.
Start off in Munich and Berlin, with plans for international expansion
Subject to approval by the anti-trust authorities, DriveNow will start off with effect from April 2011 initially in Munich and then in Berlin. Further European cities will be added in the coming years. The long-term plan is to introduce DriveNow on other continents as well. Both the product and the brand have global appeal. By the year 2020, the plan is for DriveNow to have one million members worldwide.
DriveNow will start off in Munich with approximately 300 BMW 1 Series and MINI vehicles. The resulting vehicle density within the Mittlerer Ring will ensure that customers will usually have no more than 500 metres to walk to the nearest available vehicle. The scheme is due to start up in Berlin with approximately 500 vehicles.
First-ever car sharing scheme offering premium vehicles
DriveNow is the first car sharing concept to focus on top class products and services. During the initial phase DriveNow will offer various BMW 1 Series and MINI models. The plan is also to use electric vehicles in the future. Depending on demand, other models can be added to the car sharing fleet flexibly at a later stage. The cars are all premium vehicles with at least four seats, luxury fittings (e.g. parking assistance, air conditioning, heated seats, etc.) and fitted with extremely efficient engines. The cars are all easily recognisable with the DriveNow logo.
Sixt's premium service package guarantees extreme flexibility whereby cars can be hired and returned spontaneously. DriveNow stands for seamless procedures and high quality service.
Sixt and BMW strengthen their strategic partnership
Sixt AG and the BMW Group have already been working together for several years to provide mobility services. Both companies are working intensively on developing and implementing ideas for innovative mobility services. Cooperation arrangements between the two companies will be further strengthened in future.

This paper describes a mobile payment system for merchant micropayments, which can be build on existing GSM and NFC architecture components. Many mobile payment methods have been proposed, although such methods are intended for peer-to-peer transactions rather than a conventional merchant payment environment. Our proposal leverages the SIM's authentication and identification capabilities and uses GSM cryptographic primitives, which simplifies integration into the current mobile infrastructure. The use of NFC for short range communication allows for possible integration with existing Point-of-Sale (POS) equipment and the payment process from the customer and merchant's perspective remains unchanged. The system offers acceptable security for low value payments, customer anonymity and ubiquitous implementation using available technical components.
