In previous games, you can issue bonds as mayor, to raise funds for projects (increasing interest rates depending on their debt).

NFC - not for consumers? BBC News >>

Rory Cellan-Jones

In 2007, I was involved in a lawsuit in which I used an NFC phone early access to London's transport system and pay for a coffee or a snack.

simply including an ad hominem attack on a comment from a reader was sufficient for study participants to the disadvantage of the technology reported was higher than previously thought.

all goes to show that you can not be too careful.
