On Track Innovations Ltd.: erhält Folgeauftrag

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 (Bernama) -- At least five more banks will issue OneSMART MasterCard PayPass cards this year, said Mastercard International's vice president and senior country manager for Malaysia and Brunei, Jim Cheah.

"There are about five more banks but I cannot disclose their names. It will be a mixture of local and foreign banks," he said when asked about other banks that might issue such cards.

As of now, MBF Cards (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, RHB Bank Bhd and Southern Bank Bhd will soon offer the "contactless" payment feature that provides consumers with a fast and convenient alternative to cash for their small everyday purchase.

PayPass allows cardholders to "tap & go" at merchant outlets around the world that are equipped with PayPass readers, Cheah said.

The MasterCard PayPass card combines both contact and contactless EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) payment solution on one chip, he said.

He added that with the card, consumers need not swipe a card, fumble for cash or coins or sign any receipts for purchases under RM110.

Payments above the limit will, however, have to go through the normal procedures.

"We expect the take-up rate in Malaysia to be pretty good as it has always been a hotbed for new innovations. Our consumers are also very sophisticated," Cheah told Bernama after the launching ceremony of the Mastercard PayPass card by Domestic Trade and Consumers Affairs Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal.

He, however, declined to elaborate though MasterCard International is optimistic about PayPass-featured card take-up rate in Malaysia.

He said the uptake for contactless payments has undoubtedly been encouraging.

As at December 2005, there were more than 4.3 million MasterCard PayPass cards and fobs in circulation around the world, with about 25,000 merchants terminalised to accept PayPass cards.

This momentum, according to Cheah, indicated that issuing banks, merchants and cardholders are seeing the benefits of PayPass and the idea of "tap & go".

Going forward, he said contactless payments are expected to gain greater momentum, not only regionally but across the world.

In Malaysia, merchants that accept the PayPass card include Carrefour Group, Econsave, Pasaraya Green, KLIA Express Link, Airport Limo, Starbucks Coffee, San Franciso Coffee, Haagen-Dazs, Padini Corporation, Seed Corporation, Isetan and Berjaya Times Square Cosmo World Theme Park.

UK PayPass Pilot Leads MasterCard Low-Value Push

The Royal Bank of Scotland this summer will launch a UK pilot of MasterCard International's contactless PayPass technology, Alexander Labak, president of MasterCard's European unit, announced yesterday at a debit card conference in Monaco. MasterCard disclosed RBS's plans for the pilot as part of a new initiative by the card association to promote cards for low-value payments in Europe, especially in connection with MasterCard's Maestro debit brand. MasterCard will also launch an advertising campaign promoting Maestro for low-value payments. "For us all, low-value transactions are the next debit frontier," Labak says, noting that MasterCard research shows that European consumers make 80% of their payments, or 180 billion transactions per year, with cash. MasterCard is targeting payments of between five and 15 euros, he says. The card association proposes using PayPass, as well as debit or credit cards with a contact smart card chip, to capture these payments. The payments, either contact or contactless, would comply with the international EMV payment standard and would be conducted offline. However, after a preset limit is reached, the contact cards would go online for authorization. MasterCard declined to release details of the RBS pilot but says it will be the first in Europe to "drive" low-value payments under the new MasterCard initiative. MasterCard says it will place a new acceptance mark on POS terminals, including those at quick-service merchant outlets and vending machines, which will be different from the PayPass logo displayed at POS terminals in the U.S., where consumers can pay with a tap of their contactless cards or key fobs. This is to recognize that the terminals can also take low-value payments from cards with a contact chip. The advertising campaign, titled, "Maestro. The New Cash," will debut in the UK in a couple of weeks. (2006-02-08)  

Citibank PayPass to convert to subway smart card
MasterCard and Citigroup wil pay for a six-month pilot program on the New York City subways this spring that will allow riders to pay for their trip by waving a smart card rather than swiping a MetroCard.

Only PayPass cards and payment tags issued by Citibank will be used in the pilot program which will be set up at turnstiles in 23 stations between Bowling Green and 125th Street on the 4, 5 and 6 lines; at the Jay Street-Borough Hall station on the A, C and F lines in Brooklyn; and at the 23rd Street-Ely Avenue station on the E and V lines in Queens, according to the New York Times.

MasterCard PayPass has an embedded microchip and radio antenna and is already accepted at some fast-food restaurants, drug stores, gas stations, movie theaters and parking lots. The PayPass comes in either a tag that can be attached to a keychain or a standard credit-card size.

PayPass users will get the same 20 percent discount as with a regular MetroCard, (every sixth ride is free,) but the special cards will not allow a free transfer to city buses, which the MetroCard does.

Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl das die 14.** der Höhepunkt des Jahres waren.

Habe schon überlegt auszusteigen und später wieder einzusteigen, aber
wer zu spät kommt den strafen die Götter.

Karl  

ich glaube und hoffe, dass wir noch höhere Kurse sehen werden. Ich bin auch schon eine ganze Weile investiert. Ich habe bei ca. 12 € nach USA gewechselt. Der Rückzug von Xetra
hat mich einwenig verunsichert. Jetzt verfolge ich hauptsächlich den US-Handel.
Leider muss ich den Englischen Text, mit einem Übersetzungsprogramm mir lesbar machen.
Es klappt so einiger Maßen. Wie ich schon mal angedeutet habe, spielt der Vorstand eine seltsame Rolle. Normalerweise sind sie doch froh, wenn der Kurs steigt. Ich habe die Vermutung, dass sie aus irgendwelchen Gründen ihre Karten nicht ausbreiten wo sie überall drin hängen. Es kann nicht nur daran liegen, dass sie Israelis sind.
Meiner Meinung nach haben die eine Weltfirma aufgebaut. Die Früchte will ich miternten.
Sicherlich hätte man hier- oder dortmal verkaufen sollen und dann wieder neu einsteigen.
Aber verpasste Chancen soll man nicht nachtrauern.
Ich glaube, dass das gute Jahr ab Juli, August beginnt. Die Tests ,NY Untergrundbahn, US-Pass-Programm, Asienprojekt müssten im halben Jahr entschieden sein, bzw. anlaufen.
Wenn Du mal aussteigen willst, dann musst Du den Chart in USA beobachten. Es kommen bestimmt mal Rückgänge wie in der letzten Woche. Nur können die Götter auch mal einem strafen, wenn man den Einstieg verpasst.
Wünsche uns allen einen guten Fang.

Intelligente Karten Des Chinesischen PrüfercGebrauches Zum Vereiteln Der Gefälschten TestcAbnehmer

Chinesische Beamte, die eine Absolventschule-Aufnahmeprüfung ausüben, benutzen nationale Identifikation intelligente Karten Chinas und kontaktlose Anschlüß zur Identität prüfen Abnehmer. Zukünftige Kursteilnehmer, die die neue chinesische Karte des Staatsangehörigen Identifikation tragen, eine kontaktlose Karte, die eine Karte des Papiers Identifikation ersetzt, müssen die Karte gegen einen Anschluß klopfen, also können Prüfer ihre Identitäten überprüfen. Die mit dem alten Identifikation-Kartenplatz es nahe einem Anschluß, der ein spezielles Licht benutzt, um zu sehen, wenn das Foto mit abgegeben worden ist. Im Januar sassen 107.000 Leute für die Prüfung bei 72 Prüfungsaufstellungsorten in Beijing. Ein Report im Peoples täglich sagt online, daß die Identifikation-Karten überprüft werden, um Betrügen zu verhindern von den Prüfungskandidaten, die Ersatz anstellen, um den Test für sie zu nehmen. Das Papier merkt, daß, während Konkurrenz für graduierte Schuleaufnahme sich erhöht, das Potential für das Betrügen, auch. Chinaanblick, einer von 10 Verkäufern, die Anschlüß für das chinesische Kartenprojekt des Staatsangehörigen Identifikation liefern, erklärt Kartentechnologie China, daß die Leser die Daten auf dem Span in nur acht Zehntel einer Sekunde lesen können. Chinaanblick sagt, daß die Anschlüß im Preis von $249 bis $1.243, abhängig von ihren Konfigurationen sich erstrecken. Andere Teile der Gesellschaft Chinas, außerhalb der Regierung, beginnen auch, die nationale Identifikation-Karte zu den Identitätseinzelpersonen zu benutzen. Bänke, Hotels und Internet-Kaffee gehören zu ihnen. Chinesische Beamte haben die Ausgabe ca. 800 Million der neuen Identifikation-Karten zu jedem Bürger 16 und älteres bis 2008 projiziert. Ab spätem letztem Jahr hatte die Regierung fast 50 Million Karten in 10 Provinzen herausgegeben. (2006-02-24)

Ich lach mich schief Madonna zieht nach Rosh Pina neben Onkel Bashan lol

Jerusalem (AFP) - In ihrer Verehrung für die jüdische Geheimlehre der Kabbala will sich US-Popstar Madonna jetzt ein Haus am See Genezareth kaufen, wo der Kabbala zufolge am Jüngsten Tag der Messias vorbeikommen soll. Madonnas Agenten hätten in jüngster Zeit mehrfach Kontakt zur Besitzerin eines Hauses im israelischen Rosh Pina aufgenommen, berichtete die israelische Tageszeitung "Jediot Aharonot". Die Sängerin wolle die Fünf-Zimmer-Villa in ein Zentrum zum Studium der mystischen Kabbala-Texte umwandeln.

Madonna ist seit mehreren Jahren Kabbala-Anhängerin. Für jedermann sichtbar trägt sie stets das rote Armbändchen eines US-Kabbalazentrums. Vor zwei Jahren änderte sie sogar ihren Namen, sie will seither Esther genannt werden.

Im September 2004 hatte Madonna an einem mehrtägigen Kabbala-Seminar in Israel teilgenommen. Einer der Songs auf ihrem neuesten Album heißt "Isaac" nach dem berühmten kabbalistischen Rabbi Isaak Luria, der im 16. Jahrhundert im israelischen Safed ein großes Zentrum der mystischen Lehre errichtete.

BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Some 200 million computerized "second generation" ID cards will be issued to residents around China, replacing the old cards that have been in use for 20 years.

   According to a televised conference of the Ministry of Public Security, by the end of 2005, about 102 million new ID cards had been issued to residents since the massive renewal project kicked off last year.

   The renewal had been launched in cities like Beijing, Shanghai,Tianjin, and 13 provinces like Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang last year, said vice minister Liu Jinguo.

   Liu said over 19 provinces have completed the update of population information, while 13 regions have set up population data and 41,000 local police stations have established a data management system, all benefiting the renewal project.

   The newly released plastic chip ID card contains information such as validity periods, authorization institutions and designs of the national emblem. The Great Wall and decorative patterns are printed on the front cover. The card holder's name, gender, ethnicity, birthday, residence, ID number and photo are on the back cover.

   China decided to change the first-generation ID card for its quality and security flaws and unrecognizability by computers.

   Liu warned local police offices not to charge additional fees in renewing ID cards, while asking them to make full use of this chance to strengthen the local population information management.

   The project to upgrade ID cards for 800 million Chinese adults is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2008. Enditem

You are hereby invited to an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting (the “Meeting”) of On Track Innovations Ltd. (the "Company") to be held on March 14, 2006, 08:15 AM (Israel local time) at the offices of the Company in Rosh-Pina, Israel.
The agenda of the Meeting and the summary of the proposed resolution are as follows:
a) Approval of the adoption of an alternative option exercise mechanism, pursuant to which each of the Company's and the Company's subsidiaries' employees, and Company's directors and office holders (excluding "External Directors", as such term is defined in the Israeli Companies Act - 1999)("Grantee") who is holding outstanding options (each, an "Option") as of the exercise date which shall be determined by the Company's management ("Exercise Date"), may exercise the Options into such number of Ordinary Shares of the Company (each a "Share") based on Black & Scholes model according to the following principles:
• Each Option shall be exercised for no consideration into such number of Shares, the number of which is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the economic value of the Option at the Exercise Date, (based on Black & Scholes model) and the denominator is the adjusted closing market price of the Shares on NASDAQ at such date.
• Each Grantee who exercised the Options pursuant to the aforesaid mechanism will be required to sign an irrevocable thirty three month lock-up arrangement with respect to the Shares. Such lock up shall apply to 82.5% of the Shares, where 7.5% of the Shares shall be released from the lock up at the end of each calendar quarter commencing the Exercise Date.
• Options which are not vested as of the Exercise Date may be exercised into Shares as well based on the foregoing formula; provided, however, that such Shares shall be restricted as in the original vesting terms of the Option.
• Each Grantee will be required to sign an irrevocable proxy pursuant to which the voting rights attached to the Shares shall be granted to the Company's Chairman on behalf of the Board of Directors, or to whom the Company's Board of Directors will instruct.
• Each Grantee shall have a limited period of time to decide whether he/she wishes to exercise the Options pursuant to the said mechanism. Such limited period of time shall be determined by the Company's management. In case a Grantee does not elect to exercise the Options during such period pursuant to the said mechanism, the original terms of the 2001 Options Plan for the Options issued to him/her shall continue to apply.
b) Approval of reducing the exercise price of the warrants issued in the framework of the Company's 2004 – 2005 PIPE transactions, in accordance with the following principles:
• The exercise price of each warrant issued in the framework of the Company's 2004 PIPE transaction shall be reduced to US12.29$ from US 13.97$ for each warrant;
• The exercise price of each warrant issued in the framework of the Company's 2005 PIPE offering shall be reduced to US 12.39$ from US 14.58$ for each warrant;
• Each warrant holder shall have a limited period of sixty (60) days commencing the date of receipt of such offer from the Company, to decide whether he/she wishes to exercise the warrants pursuant to the said mechanism. In case a warrant holder does not elect to exercise the warrants during such period pursuant to the said mechanism, the original terms of the warrant agreement shall continue to apply.
