Augmenting Mobile 3G Using WiFi Sam Baek Ran Li Modified from University of Massachusetts Microsoft Research
Outline The necessity of augmenting 3G Basic idea of Wiffler Improvement of Wiffler and test results Questions 2
Demand for mobile access growing 3 Cisco Visual Networking Index: Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update, 2011–2016 global mobile data traffic will increase 18-fold between 2011 and 2016. All of this is understandable given the massive adoption of mobile devices such as smartphones. Mobile data traffic will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 78 percent from 2011 to 2016, reaching 10.8 exabytes per month by 2016.
How can we reduce 3G usage? 1. Behavioral 2. Economic 3. Technical 4 like ATT wants to educate users by imposing a limitation of 5GB per month Data Plan Using WiFi to reduce 3G traffic
Augmenting Mobile 3G using WiFi Offload data to WiFi when possible Easy to do when you are stationary Focus on vehicular mobility 5
Offloading 3G data to WiFi 6 Wiffler
Basic Information 1.What is the availability of 3G and WiFi networks as seen by a vehicular user? 2.What are the performance characteristics of these two networks? (throughput and loss rate) 7
8 Measurement Measurement: Joint study of 3G and WiFi connectivity Across three cities: Amherst, Seattle, SFO Testbed: Vehicles with 3G modom and WiFi (802.11b) radios Amherst: 20 cars, Seattle: 1 car, SFO: 1 car Software: Simultaneously probes 3G and WiFi Availability, loss rate, throughput Duration: 3000+ hours of data over 12+ days
3G and WiFi access availability 9 Availability (%) 3G+WiFi combination is better than 3G
Special distribution of 3G/WiFi availability 10 Amherst
WiFi (802.11b) throughput is lower 11 Cumulative fraction WiFi 3G WiFi 3G Upstream Downstream 0.350.72 Throughput = Total data received per second 0.40.8
WiFi loss rate is higher 12 Cumulative fraction WiFi 3G 28% 8% Loss rate = Fraction of packets lost at 10 probes/sec
Summary In summary, the measurement study shows that A non-trivial amount of WiFi is available, but is limited around 10 percent. (3G:90%) Unlike stationary environments, WiFi throughput is much lower than 3G throughput. The WiFi loss rate performance is also poorer compared to 3G. 13
14 Implications of measurement study Wiffler : simply switch from 3G to WiFi Drawbacks Can offload only ~11% of the time Can hurt applications because of WiFi's higher loss rate and lower throughput. (VoIP)
15 Key ideas in Wiffler Increase savings for delay- tolerant applications Problem: Using WiFi only when available saves little 3G usage Solution: Exploit delay- tolerance to wait to offload to WiFi when availability predicted Reduce damage for delay- sensitive applications Problem: Using WiFi whenever available can hurt application quality Solution: Fast switch to 3G when WiFi delays exceed threshold
Prediction-based offloading D = Delay-tolerance threshold (seconds) S = Data remaining to be sent (bytes) Each second, 1. If (WiFi available), send data on WiFi 2. Else if (W(D) < S), send data on 3G 3. Else wait for WiFi. 16 Predicted WiFi transfer size in next D seconds
17 Negligible benefits with more sophisticated prediction, eg future location prediction + AP location database Predicting WiFi capacity History-based prediction of # of APs using last few AP encounters WiFi capacity = (expected #APs) x (capacity per AP) Simple predictor yields low error both in Amherst and Seattle
18 Fast switching to 3G Problem: WiFi losses bursty => high retransmission delay Approach: If no WiFi link-layer ACK within 50ms, switch to 3G Else, continue sending on WiFi
Wiffler implementation 19 Wiffler proxy Prediction-based offloading upstream + downstream Fast switching only upstream Implemented using signal-upon-ACK in driver
20 Evaluation Roadmap Prediction-based offloading Deployment on 20 DieselNet buses in 150 sq. mi region around Amherst Trace-driven evaluation using throughput data Fast switching Deployment on 1 car in Amherst town center Trace-driven evaluation using measured loss/delay trace using VoIP-like probe traffic
Deployment results Data offloaded to WiFi Wiffler's prediction-based offloading 30% WiFi when available10% 21 % time good voice quality Wiffler's fast switching68% WiFi when available (no switching)42% File transfer size: 5MB; Delay tolerance: 60 secs; Inter-transfer gap: random with mean 100 secs VoIP-like traffic: 20-byte packet every 20 ms
22 Trace-driven evaluation Parameters varied Workload, AP density, delay-tolerance, switching threshold Strategies compared to prediction-based offloading: WiFi when available Adapted-Breadcrumbs: Future location prediction + AP location database Oracle (Impractical): Perfect prediction w/ future knowledge
Wiffler increases data offloaded to WiFi 23 Workload: Web traces obtained from commuters Wiffler increases delay by 10 seconds over Oracle. 42% 14% Wiffler close to Oracle Sophisticated prediction yields negligible benefit WiFi when available yields little savings
Even more savings in urban centers 24
Fast switching improves quality of delay-sensitive applications 25 40% 58% 73% 30% data offloaded to WiFi with 40ms switching threshold
26 Future work Reduce energy to search for usable WiFi Improve performance/usage by predicting user accesses to prefetch over WiFi Incorporate evolving metrics of cost for 3G and WiFi usage
27 Summary Augmenting 3G with WiFi can reduce pressure on cellular spectrum Measurement in 3 cities confirms WiFi availability and performance poorer, but potentially useful Wiffler: Prediction-based offloading and fast switching to offload without hurting applications Questions?
Demand projected to outstrip capacity 29 http://www.nytimes.com
Error in predicting # of APs 30 Relative error N=1 N=4 N=8
Fast switching improves performance of demanding applications 31 % time with good voice quality Oracle Only 3G Wiffler No switching

Acquisition shows that you can get attention and make a good account of yourself in the short term. Retention shows you're good at what you do and that the client sees the business value of your service. [Read more…]

Darling takes us inside the pitchers mind, illuminating the subtler aspects of the game and providing a deeper appreciation of what happens on the field. He explains why the position of pitcher is uniquely strategic and complex and explores the various tactics a pitcher uses in different scenarios, including the countless factors in deciding what to throw and how he bounces back from a tough inning. Throughout, we get a glimpse of what it feels like to stand alone on the mound, the center of attention for tens of thousands of fans.
While there are technical books on pitching, there is no other book that examines the position in such compelling depth as The Complete Game. Filled with captivating, real-life anecdotes, it will do for pitching what Ted Williamss The Science of Hitting did for batting—and it will be an essential book for every fan and aspiring player.
Daniel Paisner has collaborated with dozens of athletes, actors, politicians, and business leaders on their autobiographies and memoirs. He is coauthor of Last Man Down: A Firefighters Story of Survival and Escape from the World Trade Center with FDNY battalion commander Richard Picciotto and The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in Holocausts Shadow with Krystyna Chiger.

The new solution to the problem of inflation by Nguyen Cao Dung
The new solution to the problem of inflation
Help get rid of the spiral cycle: Money supply – Inflation – Recession
Authored by Nguyen Cao Dung
Address the problem of inflation by putting money into circulation directly through commercial enterprises in order to always respect the principle of: "Money is only put into circulation when the society has acquired materials and goods as control objects to ensure value for money; And when such materials and goods are no longer available, they are sold for consumption, the money from the circulation must be recovered. "
So we will always have a balance in value between Goods and Money in a dynamically growing economy, and inflation will be automatically suppressed. We will get out of the spiral cycle: money supply – inflation – recession. The value of the national currency will always be solid and stable.
This solution will help countries suffering from high inflation such as Venezuela, Zimbabwe, … control the balance of value of goods and money in the market economy of their country, from which will control and gradually will eliminate inflation.
This solution can also help countries want to convert the economy from a centrally planned economy (such as Cuba, North Korea, …) to a market economy safely, effectively, and avoid causing major shocks (due to rising prices) in the economy, because of the control the balance of value of goods and money in the economy of their country.
This solution will help countries in the world to perfect the market economy, helping countries get rid of the spiral cycle: money supply-inflation-degradation. The market economy of the countries will grow as fast as it can without suffering inflation or deflation dragging it back anymore.
I would like to introduce the book "THE NEW SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF INFLATION" to you.

Barnabie and Friends to host first 'Black and White Under the Lights' Art Exhibition
The 'Black and White Under the Lights' Art Exhibition scheduled for Friday, December 23, 2016 beginning 8:00 p.m. will showcase the dynamic artistry of Florida Memorial University (FMU) student, Jemonique Barnabie, at the Kevin G. Tomlinson Academy.
Passionate and talented Barnabie developed her love for sketching at a tender age, having won her very first art competition in primary school while attending St. Paul's Methodist College.
"I have always had a passion for art as well as the performing arts as it was my escape from reality and a wonderful way to express myself.
"Over the years I have developed a love of sketching using pencils, charcoal, chalk and canvass to imitate many of the greatest beauties and wonders of life.
"Furthermore, I have always dreamed of putting on my very own art show and thankfully, with the help of my mom and friends, I am able to do just that. Hence I invite the entire Grand Bahama community to attend the 'Black and White Under the Lights' Art Exhibition, which will feature my portraits and that of several of my absolutely gifted friends.
"One of my goals as a result of the 'Black and White Under the Lights' Art Exhibition is to place a brilliant spotlight on all aspiring young artists who work in various artistic mediums.
"The support of the community at the art show is vital and it would serve as great encouragement not only to young, budding artists but also all young persons who are making positive strides and wish to take on seemingly impossible challenges to help others realize their dreams and greatest potential," said Barnabie.
Patrons of the 'Black and White Under the Lights' Art Exhibition are guaranteed to be in for a wonderful treat as captivating paintings, photographs, sketches, portraits, costume designs, and jewelry by a cadre of artists in those mediums will be on display revealed Barnabie.
Unfortunately, for many budding young artists throughout The Bahamas who are serious about their craft go unrecognized hence Barnabie fervently believes now more than ever, the 'Black and White Under the Lights' Art Exhibition is needed and will certainly boost the spirit and creativity of all participating in the show.
"Talented young people throughout the Bahamas are doing well worldwide and have taken a vested interest in improving as well as developing their craft.
"They work diligently to be more and do more every day and while this nation is known for producing many of the world's greatest athletes, motivational speakers, designers, politicians, lawyers, doctors, chefs, preachers and others in academia; we need to recognize and support our artists, actress, singers and dancers.
"Definitely I believe it would be an excellent idea for us (artists) to establish a community and show The Bahamas that we can make our mark in the world through our respective talents, which will place this nation in the limelight for producing yet another cadre of inspiring, amazing, forward-thinking, positive contributing citizens," said Barnabie, who thanked Grand Bahama Youth Choir and musical genius Kevin G. Tomlinson for working hard to establish the academy and helping to bring the youth into the spotlight and provide a chance for them to enhance their gifts.
Visual artist Ravindra Doodnauth will also showcase his work at the 'Black and White Under the Lights' Art Exhibition along with other artists as well as there will be many fantastic surprises Barnabie revealed, "The art expo is going to be absolutely fabulous so I encourage the community to support it and allow 'Black and White Under the Lights' to add new color to your life this holiday season.
"There is a small fee for admission into the expo, refreshments will be served so let us come together and enjoy the greatly anticipated 'Black and White Under the Lights' Art Exhibition."

Brillant, what a lovely day to go out and enjoy a lovely sunday while visiting the islands.
We went on a trip with Bay and Island Tours at the beginning of September. The weather was balmy and some of the other tripadites were barmy.
It was brilliant. The boat is very powerful and different. It's the kind of boat you would find doing wheelies up in Airlie Beach or Cannes. Unfortunately the driver only did one wheelie...

What should be the maximum time interval between the two pours, after which it becomes a case of pouring new concrete against old concrete?" If I have correctly understood the question, once you have a cold joint, time elapsed between the first pour and the next is immaterial, as long as the second pour follows the initial setting of concrete. For instance, it is immaterial if the second pour is made after one day or one year. Of course, there may be difference between the values of shrinkage, in the two cases, but the joint would still be treated as a construction joint. I hope this helps.

I did a detox.
Technically, today is the start of the final week of said detox, but ultimately, I did a detox.
I tried to do a detox once before. It was a 21-Day healthy eating plan by a local fitness guru that I ado, and I did pretty well at for about 5 days. Except I ignored the part where I wasn't supposed to have coffee, and by the time the weekend rolled around, I was over it and went back to my "old ways."
February and March weren't my best for food choices. It was cold and snowy, so I spent a lot of time indoors, eating heavy comfort food and, on snow days, inevitably snacking out of boredom. I also ate a lot of popcorn or cheese and crackers and called it dinner. While I didn't gain weight, thanks to my barre and gym schedule, I felt crummy and knew it was food-related. I wasn't avoiding gluten and my dairy intake, which I try to limit, was steadily creeping up.
I tried paleo for a week or two, but found that too limiting. I happen to like peanut butter and brown rice. The idea of eating clean was something I could get behind, however, so I started doing some research.
A couple of my Junior League friends are Arbonne reps. Another Junior League friend recently did their 28-day detox and raved about it on Facebook. I talked to her at length, did a ton of research, and decided "why not?" Here's how it works:
– For 28 days, you eliminate gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, coffee (!!!), pork, fruit (with a few exceptions), and a few other foods. You include foods like almond milk, brown rice, almond butter, non-starchy vegetables, legumes, berries, green apples, sweet potatoes, avocados, free-range chicken, and grass-fed beef.
– Each morning, start the day with a protein shake. Y'all, this protein powder is GOOD. I have had an almond milk/chocolate protein powder/almond butter/fiber supplement protein shake every single day since April 6 and I'm not tired of it. It's like drinking a milkshake – for breakfast.
– At lunch, either have another shake or eat something clean.
– For dinner, choose once of the recipes provided in the meal plan, or find you own clean recipes. Again, these recipes are fantastic. Think chicken fajitas, turkey chili, meatballs, kale and white bean soup, salmon with a veggie stir fry… There is also a vegan meal plan available. Try to eat dinner before 7PM.
– Snacking is encouraged between meals! My go-to snacks have been green apples, berries, rice cakes, rice crackers with guacamole, and veggies with hummus.
– Each morning, you also take a digestive supplement and during the 3rd week, you drink the '7 Day Cleanse.' The cleanse sounds terrifying and I didn't want to do it. I had nightmares about being in the middle of teaching a barre class or in a meeting and having to, shall we say, leave abruptly. Rest assured, however, that was definitely not the case.
– Drink a detox tea in the mornings and use Arbonne's energy fizz sticks as needed.
I was worried about the no coffee business. I was drinking far too much coffee – think 2-3 cups in the morning, another 1-2 cups in the afternoon, and either coffee or black tea at night – and knew I needed to cut back, especially as I like my coffee with sugar and cream. Fortunately, I had a couple of weeks between deciding to do the detox and the start of the detox to ween my coffee intake back substantially so it wasn't as big of a shock to the system.
The first day wasn't so bad. The second day, I started getting a few of those detox symptoms – headache, no energy, even a little crabby. The third day, which happened to be my birthday, was the worst. My head was throbbing, my stomach ached, I was in a less than cheerful mood, and I really wanted a cup of coffee and a cupcake, dammit.
But, that was the worst of it. By day 4, my energy was coming back and by week's end, I felt fantastic.
I have admittedly "cheated" a few times. I had a couple of drinks on my birthday, a Bold Rock at lunch with a friend, and sangria at book club. On Saturday, after waking up at 6:15 to teach and running errands in the cold rain, I couldn't take it anymore and broke down and ordered a flat white from Starbucks. Worth it. So. So. Worth it.
Food wise, there was only one real "cheat" day. At book club, which fell on the last day of the first week, I had some cheese and crackers and a cookie right along with that sangria. Within the hour, my stomach hurt. I find that to be my reaction to gluten – severe stomach pain. Two other times, I had blue cheese sprinkled on an otherwise clean salad and had the same reaction. It looks like gluten and dairy are not my friends.
That's the point of this detox – to find the foods that work for your body.
I found it easy to eat out on this detox. Of course, Charlottesville has an abundance of farm-to-table restaurants which definitely helps the eating clean process. The best part? It's really easy to eat at Chipotle – just avoid things like cheese and sour cream! It's even easier now that Chipotle has stopped serving GMO ingredients.
Another thing I learned from this detox is that I don't eat enough. I've been at a sort of plateau for a while now, and while I was technically on a detox, I actually don't eat all that differently when not on a detox. Unless, of course, I get lazy and/or its snowing, as I mentioned above.
We were encouraged in the second week to track calories. When I started keeping track, as well as entering the amount of calories I burn from exercise, I found that a lot of days, I barely crack the 1,000 mark in net calories. Since calories are energy for your body, you need to replace some of what you burn. It makes sense – if you aren't taking enough energy in, your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to what you aren't burning.
My struggle this month has been finding creative, healthy ways to add calories. I'm generally not hungry, and don't want to eat for the sake of eating. Adding a little more avocado or a scoop of almond butter are great ways, as well as snacking on a handful of almonds or a serving size of rice crackers with guacamole. I typically burn over 400 calories when I teach a barre class – all that doing the workout and talking, too – and if I workout that same day, I can burn a ton of calories. When I both teach and take a class or go to the gym in the same day, I make sure I eat food for lunch instead of a shake, which also helps boost my calorie intake.
Who doesn't like to hear "eat more?" I've been focusing on getting to at least 1200 net calories, every day. It's harder than it looks.
I'm not being paid or bribed or compensated in any way to say all these great things about the Arbonne detox. I'm not an Arbonne rep and have no intentions of being an Arbonne rep. I just believe in sharing products that I love. And of course, Arbonne has been great for me and I'm happy to share my experience, but it may not be for everyone.
Sunday is the last day of the detox. I plan to have coffee on Monday, but not the amount I was once consuming. I'm also going to stay gluten and (mostly) dairy free. It's just not worth it. Those stomach pains are almost crippling.
But, to say it again, I get to have coffee again on Monday!
Have you ever tried a detox?

Deep in our hearts, we are uneasy. We do not know the time or place of our death. We do not like to think about it. Maybe it will be far in the future. Maybe it is tomorrow. One thing is for sure – after every hour of every day, we are one hour closer to it. A lot of hours have passed already. The only thing unknown to us is the exact time remaining on our clock.

No rush, take your time
I met our Archbishop!
I was thrilled to meet Archbishop Gregory and delighted to attend a Mass at which he presided. The thing that impressed me the most, however, was that this bishop from the unbroken line of bishops originating with the apostles selected by Jesus, took the time in our large archdiocese, to visit one of our many schools and personally handout academic awards.
Bless me father for I have sinned
I didn't look at my watch, but I think it was about 20 minutes or so, which I read is roughly typical for the first time. It turns out that Father Paul did not immediately have another appointment, so we just talked for about an hour more! We talked about our childhoods, views on various Church issues, our likes and dislikes, our vocations and so on. It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other.
The Catechism, the Catholic playbook
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is the primary reference guide for the Catholic faith (after the Bible, of course). The current version dates from 1985 through 1997 and is the first major update in 400 years. It is the first book I read when I became seriously interested in joining the Church. I read it daily for hours, over a period of 2 weeks, until I was done. At over 750 pages it is not a "quick read."
The good side of purgatory
Wait you say – stop right there. If I have been saved and am going to heaven, then are not my sins forgiven? Yes, absolutely. However the sins you committed, while forgiven, have left a scar on your soul. Sometimes this is compared to a nail driven into wood. The nail represents sin, and the wood is your soul. When the nail is removed (forgiven) it leaves the hole which represents the lasting damage. When you look back on the sins you have committed, forgiven though they are, how does that make you feel? That is what I am talking about.
Confession, getting out of deep trouble
Reconciliation is not punishment but more of a celebration. Not because you have sinned, but because you have examined your conscience, are sincerely sorry, wish to do better in the future and are returning to God. Like the prodigal son's father, you are forgiven and brought back into harmony with Him. In the sacrament a Priest, acting "in persona Christi" ("in the person of Christ") absolves you of your sins restoring your relationship with the Father.
What harm is a little sin?
Catholics give sin a lot of thought. When God created the world He created a paradise free of sin. In that world, God placed Adam, then Eve. He gave them free will and clear instructions. Life was good. Good until Satan succeeded in tempting Eve. That changed everything.

The Dalai Lama has accused Chinese troops of opening fire on a crowd of Tibetan protesters, killing 140.
The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader's accusations came as the world spotlight remained focused on China as host of the Beijing Olympics, which has been marred by scuffles between Free Tibet protesters and Chinese authorities.
The Dalai Lama told the French newspaper Le Monde that the army opened fire during a protest in the eastern Tibetan region of Kham on Monday.

"I gather that 140 Tibetans were killed, although the figure needs to be confirmed," the Dalai Lama was quoted as saying.
"Since the riots in March, reliable witnesses have established that 400 people have been killed in the Lhasa area alone ... If you consider the whole of Tibet, the number of victims is obviously higher," he said.
An aide to the Dalai Lama in India, where the Tibetan Buddhist leader is based, played down his comments.
"We know about disturbances in the Kham region. But we do not have any details or figures about injuries or deaths," said the aide, Chhime Chhoekyapa, in the northern town of Dharamsala.
"Nor do we have any exact dates for the disturbances."
The Dalai Lama is nearing the end of a two-week visit to France during which he has already accused China of increasing repression in Tibet.
On Monday the Free Tibet Campaign, an activist group, said China had stepped up repression in its ethnic Tibetan regions to prevent any protests during the Beijing Olympics.

China's crackdown on protests in Tibet in March drew widespread criticism in the international community and Beijing accused the Dalai Lama and his allies of orchestrating the trouble. He denied it.
"Ten thousand people have been arrested (since March). We don't know where they are being held," the Dalai Lama said in his interview with Le Monde.
He said Chinese authorities were accelerating the construction of military camps in Tibet and this made him fear they had plans to maintain Tibet under long-term repression.
"The military presence in Tibet is old, but the frenzy of new construction in the Amdo and Kham regions makes me say that this colonisation by the army is designed to last," he said.
The Dalai Lama said last week in a meeting with French parliamentarians that he feared China would accelerate the settlement of one million ethnic Han Chinese in Tibet immediately after the Games to dilute the ethnic Tibetan population still further.
His visit to France is focused mainly on religious commitments, but on Friday he will meet President Nicolas Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, and Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner.
Sarkozy declined to meet the Dalai Lama, drawing widespread criticism that he was caving in to pressure from Beijing, which had warned him through its ambassador there would be "serious consequences" if such a meeting took place.

What does Subway, McDonald's and Jack-in-the-Box have in common? Contactless payment system using smart phones in 2012.
A lot of restaurants have been using the contactless payment scheme for sometime now, allowing consumers to pay for their purchases with out letting go of their cards. Now, a recent payment innovation is once again set to be launched early next year: payment of bills in restaurants using nothing else than customers' smart phones.
MasterCard Inc. has announced earlier this month that more than 34,500 large restaurant chains will start accepting MasterCard's PayPass Tap & Go payment method in 2012. The PayPass Tap & Go mode enables consumers to use their Pay-Pass-enabled phone when dining out at restaurants. This new generation technology makes dining a lot more convenient, easier and faster, doing away with magnetic strip swiping or having to provide their signatures. Customers need not fumble for cash or wait for change once they get the restaurant's quality check presenter—all the user has to do is tap the PayPass symbol on their phone in front a PayPass reader, wait for a green light and a beep to indicate that payment has been accepted, and go.
Another way to utilize it is through the use of Google Wallet, the very first phone-enabled mobile payment method to reach restaurant consumers. To avail of the service, the user must enroll a payment method, such as any MasterCard credit or debit card, into the Google Wallet site so that the app would have access to the funds. Once done, the user can start using the phone to buy anything —all he needs to do is tap the phone alongside a reader as if he has a customary card that has a contactless microchip in it.
Many believe that this recent move is an important step in facilitating digital payments on consumers' smart phone a reality. Google Wallet, as well as Tap & Go, saves consumers time and money as they dine and shop, and allows participating merchants to build lasting relationships and connection with their customers.
Subway is now making arrangements with MasterCard to install new Tap & Go Payment Readers to more than 7,000 locations across the U.S, expecting to launch the system by the end of the first quarter of 2012.
"This rolls-out yet another payment option for our consumers," said Tony Pace, Subway's senior vice president and global chief marketing officer. "Our customers are used to having options when they come to visit any of our Subway restaurants. Now, with this latest innovation, they will have another payment alternative that is so much more convenient and easy to use."
McDonald's is also set to launch the contactless payment system next year, keeping up with the moves of McDonald's Australia which started accepting contactless payments last 2010 and McDonald's UK which adopted the technology earlier this year. Swiss McDonald's locations began using the method in 2007.
Subway's director of digital marketing, Joost Zimmerman, said that the launching of this new generation payment technology is very timely, since people have astoundingly adopted the use of smart phones in their everyday life. Other card companies are now developing their own programs to get on board with this latest trend.

Wednesday, September 29, 2010
It is ironic that the last chairman of the KGB, a hardliner who so staunchly opposed glasnost, should have become an unwitting FBI informant. But that is exactly what happened.
I should know. I managed him myself.
I met Vladimir Kryuchkov, who died on November 25, 2008 at the age of 83, when I was in Moscow in January 1998 to visit with Edward Lee Howard, the CIA traitor who defected to Russia thirteen years earlier.
Howard had been solicited by Kryuchkov to help him arrange publication in the West of his memoirs. Howard produced me. What both men did not know was that I was working undercover for FBI Counterintelligence.
When we met, Kryuchkov was on the wrong side of President Boris Yeltsin, having been one of the so-called "gang of eight" that tried to unseat Mikhail Gorbachev in the attempted putsch of August 1991.
Ironically, that event triggered the disintegration of the Soviet Union, to which Kryuchkov had been so devoted during twenty-four years in the KGB, rising to chief of the First Directorate before becoming chairman.
It also landed him in prison for eighteen months.
You would never know, looking at Kryuchkov, that he was once one of the most powerful men in the Soviet Union. He had the cherubic face of a kindly uncle. Yet Kryuchkov personally ordered the execution of spies given up by CIA turncoat Aldrich Ames.
Kryuchkov came to my Baltschug-Kempinski hotel room on the southern bank of the Moscow River with Igor Prelin, his former PR chief at the KGB and executive director of their retired intelligence officers association. Kryuchkov was dressed like a Communist Party apparatchik in a charcoal wool suit, white shirt, navy blue tie with a white vertical stripe and a woolen sweater vest. His round, apple-cheeked face was dominated by large spectacles with heavy amber-colored frames. A wisp of gray hair atop his baldpate stood up on end, as if trying to escape. Prelin was dressed—comically, I thought—in black slacks, black silk shirt, black striped tie and burgundy shoes, with slicked-back hair. Al Capone meets Red Mafia.
I explained to both men that Kryuchkov's memoirs, as published in Russia two years before, would need enhancement with new material for any possible edition in the West. Thus, I had arrived equipped with a big batch of questions--many of which had been devised by FBI analysts--known in spy parlance as a shopping list.
Hence, the ruse began, with me trying to fill gaps in espionage cases that continued to cause consternation back home. Kryuchkov was as dry and dull as the book he had written in Russian. Therein lay the challenge for me to draw him out.
After making the introduction, Edward Howard had left us to get on with our "book enhancement" (he had his own job as a stockbroker to tend to), so it seemed natural to begin with the Howard case.
"Edward was of considerable operational interest to us," Kryuchkov finally revealed, after plodding through a series of mundane comments. "He proved to be priceless, helping us solve a number of big problems. With Edward's help, we uncovered deep-cover CIA agents in our country. We were also able to plug several information leaks, vital to the security of the USSR."
With these words, Kryuchkov confirmed allegations Howard had always denied.
Kryuchkov's comments on Aldrich Ames were of equal interest. We learned, for instance, that the KGB knew Ames was in trouble long before his arrest and that the Russians had discussed exfiltrating him to safety, as the British had done with their spy Oleg Gordievsky. It had gone to the very top for approval—and Yeltsin shot it down.
The Russian leader feared that such a tactic would jeopardize economic aid packages to Russia, which were all the rage back then. They key point, of course, was this: How did the KGB know Ames was in trouble? It added to the belief that another spy lurked in a senior position within the U.S. intelligence community.
Kryuchkov believed that Ames's motivation was not money—the usual means by which the KGB recruited American spies, according to Kryuchkov--but ideology.
"Ames simply did not agree with the policies of the United States that multiplied their military power," Kryuchkov had convinced himself. "He believed in the peaceful nature of the Soviet Union's foreign relations."
Kryuchkov told me that William Casey was the worst CIA director--"worst for us," he meant--and that their favorite was Stansfield Turner. He also suggested that one particular DCI inadvertently revealed to him that Oleg Kalugin, the former KGB First Directorate chief, had cooperated with the agency. Kryuchkov held Kalugin personally responsible for the death of Anatoly Shadrin, a former Russian naval commander who defected in 1959 and mysteriously disappeared in Vienna in 1975. Kryuchkov confirmed that the KGB kidnapped Shadrin, but that Kalugin, who was on site in control of the operation, had his own agenda. "The result was a fiasco," Kryuchkov confessed to me. "Shadrin, unconscious from chloroform, was pulled a thousand yards in the snow at the Austrian-Czech border, then left to lay there for twenty minutes because a receiving car had gotten stuck. Shadrin died. Kalugin appeared satisfied by the outcome."
Kryuchkov was less forthcoming on the case of Vitaly Yurchenko, and stuck to the party line: Yurchenko was kidnapped by the CIA in Rome. When I called him on it-- "nobody believes that," I said--Kryuchkov's eyes turned steely cold and he drummed his left thumb on the arm of his chair.
I filled six hours of cassette tape goading Kryuchkov into revelations. He wrote another thirty-four pages for me. All of which went straight to the FBI's Russia experts for analysis.
Kryuchkov's book was never published in the West.
It got even more interesting that evening over dinner, at a restaurant—his favorite—called Fairy Tale. Kryuchkov, and his sidekick Prelin, forecast that an "unknown name" would succeed Yeltsin as President and that the KGB-in-Exile would rally and return to power.
Not long after, ex-KGB officer Vladimir Putin emerged from obscurity, and has long since solidified his rule with the support of his former KGB colleagues and his current intelligence services, the FSB, SVR, and GRU.
Kryuchkov attended Putin's inauguration, and Putin, during his first year as president, attended Kryuchkov's birthday party.
Kryuchkov personified why the Soviet Union failed. He truly believed in Stalinist doctrine and the cumbersome apparatchik system, telling me "the happiest day in my life was in 1952, when I realized Stalin was standing thirty meters from me inside Lenin's Mausoleum."
Kryuchkov blamed the disintegration of his country on Gorbachev and the CIA (one in the same, in his opinion). But, ultimately, it was Kryuchkov's inability--as a diehard bureaucrat--to understand Russia's potential, and the needs of its people, that compelled him to sign onto a frivolous, almost farcical attempt to oust Gorbachev from power, leading to Yeltsin's rule and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I asked Kryuchkov what he wanted his epitaph to say.
He replied, "Just my name, date of birth and date of death."
An unimaginative bureaucrat to the end, Kryuchkov viewed even himself as just another statistic.
I opt for this instead: Here lies a dogmatic KGB chairman who was deceived into passing secrets to his archenemy, the Americans.
