Scarlet Fate
Set against the backdrop of the Heian period (ca. AD 1000) in Japan... In a sacred, snow-covered village is kept a sword with the power to bring the world to an end. One young maiden of a shrine is fated to seal the Sword's power and protect it: Princess Tamayori. She has spent her days since childhood being tormented by her sins in loneliness and under the heavy burden of protecting the Sword so that its power would not be released. ... Until one night when she encounters a wounded god and her lonely life changes forever; she will face the end of the world with comrades willing to help her. She fights to prevent the demise risking her own life, but she begins to waver between her resolve and her wish to live for the one that she loves... Will there be a future for those who bear sins? In this snow-fluttering world, the tale of the ancient Princess Tamayori unfolds.

The reason this is all so prevalent within the so called "AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY" is because GOD has become virtually IRRELEVANT and most of the black churches are disconnected from what GOD is still doing through...ISRAEL. Just opening your Bible and not seeing it as a Hebrew manuscript is proof!
Paul, is quoting Isaiah, the Prophet,
You will notice that the biblical writers were not interested in SKIN COLOR when recording the word of the Lord.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, "As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God."
Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
So, you can be black all day long or you can be an African American all day long but, you better know whose team to be on at the end of the day! Because it was dust that GOD breathed into when considering YOUR life!

Cadbury chiefs left with egg on their faces after changing recipe for Creme Eggs
CHOCOLATE giant Cadbury has lost millions of pounds after changing the recipe for its Creme Egg, it has emerged.
Figures show sales of the Easter treat nose-dived by £6million last year after the formula was controversially re-jigged by bosses.
The Creme Egg – featuring a thick, sweet, syrupy middle inside a coating of chocolate – has been in production in its current form since the 1970s.
But there was widespread outrage last Easter when Cadbury, owned by American firm Molendez, announced the snack would be "reformulated".
Instead of being coated in Dairy Milk chocolate, a cheaper cocoa mix was used instead.
The decision proved to be costly as chocolate lovers boycotted the product.
Sales of the company's Easter range tumbled by £10million – with more than half being attributed to the slump in Creme Eggs.
"The fundamentals of Cadbury Creme Egg remain exactly the same"Claire Low
But Cadbury marketing manager Claire Low defended the changes.
Shem said: "The fundamentals of Cadbury Creme Egg remain exactly the same."
She added: "It's simply not the case that Creme Egg has always been made with Cadbury Dairy Milk

Sometimes amongst the clouds comes a ray of sunshine.
Awad has always been that for me, and many others too.
We met in the Calais Jungle over a year ago.
I knew he was special from the moment we met. Highly intelligent, well-spoken and personable, he stood out. I could always spot him from a mile off because of his height and his hair, (and his sick fashion sense!)
Awad and I have had a lot of deep conversations over the last year…about his circumstances and mine. About his life in the camp, his options and his future. We've talked about religion, about love and relationships, about life.
Awad had one of the best houses in the Jungle. He spent a lot of time and thought building it. He had glass in the windows and murals on the walls inside.
It was beautiful…until it was bulldozed.
Awad always remained dignified and strong, despite the obvious inequality and injustice staring us in the face.
Not only this, throughout my time knowing him, Awad not only brought happiness and sunshine to me, but to many others too.
Awad is a refugee who helps other refugees.
He would regularly go to the warehouse, organise donations, let volunteers know what was needed and facilitate these things getting to people in the new camp he lived in after the Jungle was demolished.
He represented and supported many.
Everyone called his 'Rasta' and faces literally lit up when they saw him. He naturally and organically commands respect from everyone he meets, and everywhere I have ever been with him, whoever I introduced him too, he instantly made them smile.
This weekend I got the amazing news that Awad has made it safely to the UK.
I could not be happier.
My friend, my brother and my inspiration…
Welcome to England and to the next chapter of your crazy life.
You deserve this.

For most people, saving money is about having enough for a holiday or these new shoes from the local designer shop. For others, it's about making sure there's enough money in the pot to have food on the table at the end of the day. It's said that money is the root of all evil, but really, it's how you spend it that makes it that way. Money itself is not what is evil – but money mismanagement. Choosing to fritter away what little money you do have when there isn't enough to cover the basics is bad management but with some advice, you can start to make the right cuts where you need to, so that you have enough money for the things you want.
Home improvements, house deposits and new furniture all cost and the worst thing is that if you aren't looking close enough at where your money is going each month, you're potentially wasting thousands a year. Your TV package, weekly food shopping and utility bills could all be costing you far more than necessary and by turning a blind eye, you will end up spending the money you could be putting away in savings. Savings don't have to be done for an immediate goal. Perhaps just putting some back each month for a rainy day and spending on a break to reward yourself is what matters for your family. Rainy day money is always good to have in case the boiler busts, the roof caves in or the cooker breaks down – you then have savings to fall back on in an immediate crisis.
With these savings ideas, you could be looking at getting the same services you receive for cheaper, meaning that there is surplus money in your account by the end of the week:
- Swap shop: There are plenty of comparison websites online such as this one here that you can input your shopping list, click compare and see how your food shop measures up from one supermarket to the next. This way you can swap brands but get the same food and potentially be saving up to a third on your weekly shopping. It's a no brainer, when most supermarket branded foods are just as good as the brand names but without the steep price tag.
- Save energy: Your gas and electric bills change every year, sometimes without you knowing. The tariff small print is often overlooked and because of this, you may be paying out for more energy than you are using. Websites like Simply Switch can help you to choose the best energy provider for your consumption, saving you pounds which can be put away in an account for that rainy day.
- Coffee off: Do you leave the house every morning and spend on that extra tall mocha from the local coffee shop? How much does that add up to every week? By investing in a hot drinks flask and a coffee machine of your own, you could still buy a mocha every day. The difference being you're not spending £5 a day on it. That's a huge saving every week, just by making your own coffee!
- Minimise: If you find yourself with a DVD collection spanning thirty years, it's time to make cuts. Start selling the extra stuff you've been hoarding online, and move the money you make into your savings account.
- Carbon footprint: Driving to work can use more petrol and energy than most things, so rethink your commute. Walking and cycling are both good activities for your heart, and you can get healthier while you do it. Less impact on the environment and the money you save in petrol costs can be saved instead of spent elsewhere.
- Lunchbox: Lunch bags aren't just for school children. In the same way you are now doing your coffee every day, taking your own lunch to school is a brilliant way to save yourself money every day. Leave your cash card at home if you have to, but you need to start bringing your own lunch to work if you hope to make a decent dent in your spending.
There are so many ways we are spending money without even thinking about it. We think nothing of handing money over for a coffee and a sandwich when we can make things at home. There's no need to spend money and overindulge if you don't have to, and that way you can start that nest egg earlier than you planned!

Welcome To My New Website
April 22, 2009 by Paul Cantor
Filed under Words From The Genius
Ah yes, I've finally made it onto my own site. After lending my blogging services to notable music sites like MTV.com and XXLmag.com, and even some other less credible ones, I've decided it's finally time to do it for delf. And unlike my personal blog that I update rather infrequently (www.errokay.blogspot.com, shouts to Eskay at Nahright.com for inspiring that name some time around 2006), I intend to keep this site more up to date.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a man with many interests. More often than not I can go from talking about the smallest detail of a hip-hop beat to the message behind the medium, to the benefits of putting money in a Roth IRA. I'm into music, art, culture, business, finance, science. I'm just always learning, trying to acquire more knowledge and understand the world better.
So this website will be about those things. Specifically though, it will serve as a placeholder for my writings, both online and in the real world. I'll also use it to promote whatever I have my hands in at a given moment, be that magazines, music, marketing, blogging, concert promotion, production, engineering… the list goes on and on.
I hope you all keep visiting and enjoy the site.

No. 60/291,185, filed May 15, 2001, entitled "Methods and Apparatus for Enterprise Application Integration," and is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/917,264, filed Jul. 27, 2001, entitled "Methods and Apparatus for Enterprise Application Integration." This application claims the benefit of priority of PCT Ser. No. US02/15698, filed May 15, 2002, entitled "Methods and Apparatus of Enterprise Application Integration" and PCT Ser. No. US 02/15721, filed May 15, 2002, entitled "Methods and Apparatus of Enterprise Application Integration." The teachings of all of the foregoing applications are incorporated herein by reference.
The invention pertains to digital data processing and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for enterprise business visibility and insight using real-time reporting tools.
It is not uncommon for a single company to have several database systems—separate systems not interfaced—to track internal and external planning and transaction data. Such systems might of been developed at different times throughout the history of the company and are therefore of differing generations of computer technology. For example, a marketing database system tracking customers may be ten years old, while an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system tracking inventory might be two or three years old. Integration between these systems is difficult at best, consuming specialized programming skill and constant maintenance expenses.
A major impediment to enterprise business visibility is the consolidation of these disparate legacy databases with one another and with newer e-commerce databases. For instance, inventory on-hand data gleaned from a legacy ERP system may be difficult to combine with customer order data gleaned from web servers that support e-commerce (and other web-based) transactions; This is not to mention difficulties, for example, in consolidating resource scheduling data from the ERP system with the forecasting data from the marketing database system.
An object of this invention is to provide improved methods and apparatus for digital data processing and, more particularly for enterprise business visibility and insight (hereinafter "enterprise business visibility").
A further object is to provide such methods and apparatus as can rapidly and accurately retrieve information responsive to user inquiries.
A further object of the invention is to provide such methods and apparatus as can be readily and inexpensively integrated with legacy, current and future database management systems.
A still further object of the invention is to provide such methods and apparatus as can be implemented incrementally or otherwise without interruption of enterprise operation.
Yet a still further object of the invention is to provide such methods and apparatus as to facilitate ready access to up-to-date enterprise data, regardless of its underlying source.
Yet still a further object of the invention is to provide such methods and apparatus as permit flexible presentation of enterprise data in an easily understood manner.
The aforementioned are among the objects attained by the invention, one aspect of which provides a method for enterprise business visibility that transforms transactional and other information from a plurality of legacy and other databases in resource description framework (RDF) syntax. This information can be time-stamped (e.g., with expiration dates) and stored in a central database, referred to below as a "holographic" data store.
Further aspects of the invention provide such methods for real-time enterprise business visibility and insight that uses software ("connectors") that can be instantiated via downloading (e.g., using Java� or other such technologies) to provide interfaces to respective disparate database systems. The databases systems may comprise any variety of now or heretofore known systems, e.g. SAP, Oracle, and so forth.
The connectors can, for example, translate between a native language (or Application Program Interface ("API")) of the respective database systems and an internal language/protocol of the enterprise business visibility system. To this end, the connectors can utilize a scripting language to access the respective database systems.
The connectors, according to further aspects of the invention, can query the respective database systems, using simple queries and/or using data mining techniques, based on requests received from the holographic data store and/or from a framework server, a user or otherwise. In related aspects, the data store is periodically updated via application of queries to the database systems.
Further aspects of the invention provide methods as described above in which a graph generator generates directed graphs from the RDF triples in the holographic store. The graphs can be "walked" in order to discern answers to queries for information reflected by triples originating from data in one or more of the databases, and the confidence levels of those answers based in part, for example, on the time-stamps of the underlying triples. In related aspects of the invention, answers to queries are discerned by applying genetic algorithm-based search techniques to the holographic store.
Another aspect of the invention provides methods as described above in which a framework server accepts queries, e.g., from a user, and formats them for application to the holographic data store.
Further aspects of the invention provide real-time enterprise business visibility and insight that operate in accord with the foregoing.
These and other aspects of the invention are evident in the drawings and in the description that follows.
The foregoing features of this invention, as well as the invention itself, may be more fully understood from the following detailed description of the drawings in which:
Legacy databases 140 represent existing (and future) databases and other sources of information in a company, organization or other entity (hereinafter "enterprise"). In the illustration, these include a retail e-commerce database (e.g., as indicated by the cloud and server icons adjacent database 140 c) maintained with a Sybase� database management system, an inventory database maintained with an Oracle� database management system and an ERP database maintained with a SAP� Enterprise Resource Planning system. Of course, these are merely examples of the variety of databases or other sources of information with which methods and apparatus as described herein can be used. Common features of illustrated databases 140 are that they maintain information of interest to an enterprise and that they can be accessed via respective software application program interfaces (API) or other mechanisms known in the art.
Connectors 108 serve as an interface to legacy database systems 140. Each connector applies requests to, and receives information from, a respective legacy database, using that database's API or other interface mechanism. Thus, for example, connector 108 a applies requests to legacy database 140 a using the corresponding SAP API; connector 108 b, to legacy database 140 b using Oracle API; and connector 108 c, to legacy database 140 c using the corresponding Sybase API.
In the illustrated embodiment, these requests are for purposes of accessing data stored in the respective databases 140. The requests can be simple queries, such as SQL queries and the like (e.g., depending on the type of the underlying database and its API) or more complex sets of queries, such as those commonly used in data mining. For example, one or more of the connectors can use decision trees, statistical techniques or other query and analysis mechanisms known in the art of data mining to extract information from the databases.
Specific queries and analysis methodologies can be specified by the holographic data store 114 or the framework server 116 for application by the connectors. Alternatively, the connectors themselves can construct specific queries and methodologies from more general queries received from the data store 114 or server 116. For example, request-specific items can be "plugged" into query templates thereby effecting greater speed and efficiency.
Regardless of their origin, the requests can be stored in the connectors 108 for application and/or reapplication to the respective legacy databases 108 to provide one-time or periodic data store updates. For example, connectors can use expiration date information to determine which of a plurality of similar data to return, or if a date is absent, the connector can return the data with a lower confidence level.
Data and other information (collectively, "messages") generated by the databases 140 in response to the requests are routed by connectors to the holographic data store 114. That other information can include, for example, expiry or other adjectival data for use by the data store in caching, purging, updating and selecting data. Those messages can be cached by the connectors 108, though, they are preferably immediately routed to the store 114.
The software connectors 108 may reside on any digital data processing system(s) that is (are) in communications coupling—e.g., via a dial-up connection, bus, cable, network and/or Internet (as indicated by cloud icons), or otherwise—with the respective legacy databases 140 and with the holographic data store 114. Typically, the connectors reside on computers within the firewall (or other security barrier) of the enterprise, though, they may reside elsewhere (e.g., local to the holographic store 114 and/or the framework server 116).
In a preferred embodiment, the connectors are implemented as automatically compiling components in a J2EE framework, or the like. Depending on the legacy database from which information is being collected, on the type of query, and so forth, general- or specific-purpose connector modules can be electronically downloaded or otherwise remotely updated as required. Of course, the connectors can be implemented in software other than as components of a J2EE framework and can be configured to communicate with legacy peripheral and other hardware devices.
In embodiments, such as that illustrated here, wherein the connectors 108 are implemented as automatically compiling components in a J2EE framework, or the like, those connectors preferably execute within a suitable environment, e.g., utilizing Java virtual machines running scripted Extensible Markup Language ("XML") operating according Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation ("XSLT") scripts. The use of XSLT scripts allow the connectors to communicate with a variety of database systems by merely downloading the XSLT using any computer readable medium, e.g. disk, electronic download, or CD-ROM.
Referring to
It will be appreciated that other embodiments may use other common languages/protocols for communications between the connectors 108, the holographic data store 114 and/or the framework server 116, such as, by way of non-limiting example, extensible query language ("XQL") presented as a JDBC-like (Java Database Connectivity) API, returning JBDC result sets to a calling web page or Java program. Still further embodiments may not use a common language/protocol at all.
A more complete understanding of the operation of the connectors 108 may be attained by reference to
Illustrated is a connector 300 utilizing Hypertext Transfer Protocol ("HTTP") as a vehicle to transfer messages (e.g., requests and responses thereto) with holographic data store 114, such as the one illustrated in
The message is sent to the connected legacy database, e.g., 140 a, using the appropriate API or other interface mechanism. It can be appreciated that the actual transformation sequence is dependent on the type of legacy database system being accessed and the method of communication between the holographic data store and the connector framework.
Messages received by the connector 300 from the legacy database are likewise processed for return to the holographic data store 114. In the illustrated example, a message 318 is received and routed to a generator module 314 which performs a transformation according to an XSP script, and then routes the message to a transformer module 312. The transformer module 302 transforms the data field contained within the message into RDF triple form suitable for the holographic data store 114 to catalog, and assigns a unique Universal Identification Number ("UID") for later conversion into a Universal Resource Locator ("URL") by the data store 114. Finally, the message is routed to a serializer module 310 and transformed for HTTP transfer to the holographic data store 320.
As can be appreciated, each such module transforms the data and passes it along the stream. The exact composition of engines/modules is specific to the underlying database. For example, if the underlying database executes using SQL, then the connector can have different engines than where the underlying database executes SAP. As such, the connectors are developed to exploit specific database query languages and thereby increase the speed and efficiency in translating protocols and seeking data.
Referring back to
Though the holographic data store 114 may be contained on an optical storage device, this is not the sense in which the term "holographic" is used. Rather, it refers to its storage of data from multiple sources (e.g., the legacy databases 140) in a form which permits that data to be queried and coalesced from a variety of perspectives, depending on the needs of the user and the capabilities of the framework server 116.
To this end, a preferred data store 114 stores the data from the legacy databases 140 in object-predicate-subject form, e.g., RDF triples, though those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that other forms may be used as well, or instead. For example, to represent the statement, "Metatomix is located in Waltham," a RDF representation would contain an object containing "Waltham," a predicate containing "location," and a subject containing "Metatomix". The predicate would be a unique pointer between the subject "Metatomix," and the object, "Waltham," and would have a tag indicating that the predicate is of type "location." In its simplest form, the example statement, is expressed in RDF as follows:
<rdf:description about=http://www.metatomix.com>
The data store 114 can maintain the triples in literal form though, preferably, they are maintained as Uniform Resource Identifiers (hereinafter, "URI"). In some embodiments, relational databases are used to store this information. In the illustrated embodiment, however, the data items are stored in three tables using an algorithm that converts the data into unique 64-bit strings, e.g., in the manner of a "hashed with origin" approach. Those tables are maintained in a backing commercial database, such as the type commercially available from Oracle™ or others in the marketplace.
Referring to
In the illustrated embodiment, each predicate 402 is assigned a URI 410 such that related data is located via URIs in a hierarchical ordering, represented for example by the directed arrow 402. If the triple is high-level 408 its URI 404 points to a lower set of triples 412, each of which has a URI 414 that may point to data or to further triples 416.
Each subject 406 contains transactional information pertaining to an enterprise resource item, e.g. credit card type, type of product bought or date. For example, as illustrated in
An object 408 contains information pertaining to the "who" of the transaction, such as the person or enterprise initiating the transaction. The object, similar to the subject, may be a literal, e.g. "Smith", or a unique identifier such as a locator address 422 such that each related predicate and subject can be referenced through the object. The identifiers are assigned by the store 114, in sequence, as each is received from the connectors. Portions of each identifier can be coded to reflect which connector the triple was received from and/or the store from which the underlying data was generated.
According to one embodiment of the invention, additional information can be stored, e.g., along with each RDF triple or on a document object basis. This can include expiry date or other adjectival data passed to the hologram store 114 by the connectors 300, e.g., in document request headers or the like, along with data collected from the legacy databases. It can also include tags added by a caching component (not shown) of the data store to reflect version numbers and Universal Unique Identifiers (UUID) or other serial numbers. This expiry and other additional information can be utilized by the hologram data store to use for caching, purging, updating and selecting collected documents and the contained triples, e.g., an internal scheduler and a determination of confidence levels as described below.
The expiry can be of various types, e.g., absolute date/time expiration or relative time expiration. One example among many is that the data expires if it has not been accessed within three hours. A data structure can also be marked as "never expires," applicable for example for a social security number. The data is also tagged with a confidence level, determined through statistical methods, to indicate its validity compared with other like data.
An internal scheduler maintains stored RDF data and deletes data that has expired according to a set of rules. Any RDF triple with a relative expiration time stamp will be deleted, for example, if the data has not been accessed for the time period specified when the data was created. System Administrators may choose not to delete old data when it expires, essentially forming a large virtual warehouse that grows larger as more data is entered. In this embodiment, the scheduler will not delete data, but rather marks the data as "stale." The confidence tag is reduced to indicate a lower confidence level forthwith, and is returned along with the data to the program requesting the data.
When a search request is applied against to the data store 114, functionality in the data store 114 checks internal data structures (stored in the data store) first. If the data is not found, a command is issued to the appropriate connector to obtain the requested data from the legacy database systems. If the latest data is not available, the most recently stored data (if available) is returned with a reduced confidence factor to indicate any expiration. In a preferred embodiment, illustrated data store 114 polls the legacy database systems 140 (via connectors 108) to obtain current information at pre-determined intervals, times or otherwise.
It can be appreciated that any given transaction (or other event that gives rise to triples of the type stored in the data store 114) may be reflected in multiple legacy database systems 140. When those systems are queried by the connectors, this may result in multiple triples causing redundant or related information to be stored within the holographic store 114. A feature of the data store is the ability to form associations between different sources of data entering the data store through use of a "relationizer" module.
This can be performed by comparing sequential levels of objects and merging triples and documents (or collections) of similar objects. For example, two people at the same address and same last name may be merged into a "family" document (or collection), and so on. (Data in a triple suggesting that these might not be members of the same family could be ignored, for example, if that triple is aged or nearly expired.) The relationizer can be tailored to satisfy end-user's requirements using probabilistic, fuzzy matching and transformation rules. In this way, data storage is both minimized and related such that queries can be executed using the minimal execution time. The data store 114 can also remove redundant information from the legacy databases 140 in a similar manner dependent on the capabilities of the specific database.
A "data crusher" module further reduces the granularity or "size" of the data as time progresses and when individual datum becomes less important. The data crusher-operates in tandem with the relationizer as part of a regular data store maintenance routine.
A data mining module utilizes conventional data mining techniques to gather information from the data store 114. The module operates in batch mode or incremental mode, depending on the algorithm selected. See, for example, "Iterative Dichotomizer Tree Induction Algorithm," J. Ross Quinlan, Induction of Decision Trees, Journal of Machine Learning, Vol. 1, pgs 81-106, 1986.
The data store 114 is provided with a Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning ("WebDAV") interface to allow for documents to be added, updated and deleted from the database using secure WebDAV client tools, e.g., Microsoft Office, XML Spy or other such tools available from a variety of vendors. Additionally, or in the alternative, a system user can drag and drop onto Web folders in the Microsoft Windows Explorer environment. The interface stores presented document files in a relational database, while parsing out and storing RDF triples in the triples storage area. The interface presents the user with a view of a traversable file system. Files can be opened directly in XML editing tools or from Java programs supporting WebDAV protocols, or from processes on remote machines via any HTTP protocol on which WebDAV is based. Additionally, a WebDAV security system is utilizes to preserve data integrity and protect enterprise business data from unauthorized access.
Moreover, as noted above, the data store 114 further supports a SQL-like query language called hXQL. This allows retrieval of RDF triples matching defined criteria. The hXQL interface is presented as a JDBC-like API, returning JDBC ResultSets to a calling web page or Java program.
The data store 114 includes a graph generator (not shown) that uses RDF triples to generate directed graphs in response to queries (e.g., in ICQL form) from the framework server 116. These may be queries for information reflected by triples originating from data in one or more of the legacy databases 140 (one example might be a request for the residence cities of hotel guests who booked reservations on account over Independence Day weekend, as reflected by data from an e-Commerce database and an Accounts Receivable database). Such generation of directed graphs from triples can be accomplished in any conventional manner known the art (e.g., as appropriate to RDF triples or other manner in which the information is stored). Directed graphs generated by the data store are passed back to the server 116 for presentation to the user.
According to one practice of the invention, the data store 114 utilizes genetic, self-adapting, algorithms to traverse the RDF triples in response to queries from the framework server 116. Though not previously known in the art for this purpose, such techniques can be beneficially applied to the RDF database which, due to its inherently flexible (i.e., schema-less) structure, is not readily searched using traditional search techniques. To this end, the data store utilizes a genetic algorithm that performs several searches, each utilizing a different methodology but all based on the underlying query from the framework server, against the RDF triples. It compares the results of the searches quantitatively to discern which produce(s) the best results and reapplies that search with additional terms or further granularity.
Referring back to
In some embodiments, queries to the data store are structured on a SQL based RDF query language, in the general manner of SquishQL, as known in the art.
In addition to generating queries, the framework server (and/or the aforementioned modules) "walks" directed graphs generated by the data store 114 to present to the user (via browser 118) any specific items of requested information. Such walking of the directed graphs can be accomplished via any conventional technique known in the art. Presentation of questions, dialog boxes or other user-input controls to the user and, likewise, presentation of responses thereto based on the directed graph can be accomplished via conventional server/browser or other user interface technology.
In some embodiments, the framework server 116 permits a user to update data stored in the data store 114 and, thereby, that stored in the legacy databases 140. To this end, changes made to data displayed by the browser 118 are transmitted by server 116 to data store 114. There, any triples implicated by the change are updated and forwarded to the respective legacy databases 140, which utilize the corresponding API (or other interface mechanisms) to update their respective stores.
In some embodiments, the server 116 can present to the user not only data from the data store 114, but also data gleaned by the server directly from other sources. Thus, for example, the server 116 can directly query an enterprise website for statistics regarding web page usage, or otherwise.
A further understanding of the operation of the framework server 116 may be attained by reference to the appendix filed with U.S. patent application Ser.

The most comprehensive sourcebook of Shakespeare's monologues ever available in one volume.
A detailed guide to approaching Shakespearean text, Speak the Speech! contains everything an actor needs to select and prepare a Shakespeare monologue for classwork, auditions, or performance.
Included herein are over 150 monologues. Each one is placed in context with a brief introduction, is carefully punctuated in the manner that best illustrates its meaning, and is painstakingly and thoroughly annotated. Each is also accompanied by commentary that will spark the actor's imagination by exploring how the interrelationship of meter and the choice of words and sounds yields clues to character and performance. And throughout the book sidebars relate historical, topical, technical, and other useful and entertaining information relevant to the text. In addition, the authors include an overview of poetic and rhetorical elements, brief synopses of all the plays, and a comprehensive index along with other guidelines that will help readers locate the perfect monologue for their needs.
More than just an actor's toolkit, Speak the Speech! is also an entertaining resource that will help demystify Shakespeare's language for the student and theater lover alike.
Over 150 of the Bard's monologues are reprinted and explained for the aspiring actor or director in Speak the Speech! Shakespeare's Monologues Illuminated. The knowledgeable and breezy commentary ("Dial Lady M for Murder," reads one section heading) by acting coach Rhona Silverbush and playwright Sami Plotkin offers a brief context for each monologue, explains unfamiliar vocabulary and expressions, examines the relationship between mood and meter and even reminds readers what words to elide or expand. Boxed asides offer historical background and describe literary controversies over various lines and passages. There's also a general discussion of rhetorical elements. (Aug.)

Tell him that when he is about to climax, pinch his butt together and press down hard with his feet. Always works for me.

Can this be practiced? You know... Alone...?
klovemachine | 24
:-O alone?!?!?
sens3sfailing | 24
first off, WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW YOU DO THAT 85! and secondly, I find that thinking about baseball when you feel you're getting close makes you almost reset if you think about it enough.

To me this is more of a mind thing, it's hard to put it under control in the heat of moment, when your entire brain is thinking about sex. My trick is not to get too focused on it, and sometimes I do long math calculations in my head, it work for me.
She can come and see me, her boyfriend is just fine. Trust me, I'm a doctor ;)

Not necessarily 33 he may just be a premature ejaculator period nothing to do with attraction to any single person... OP might be in for a long (and perpetually short) sexual experience
EsotericBrent | 29
I always found long, deep breathes help for calming down; just like you would during any sort of panic attack. Get him to practice meditation...the art of emptying your mind of any and every thought. Not only is it quite relaxing, but I guarantee if he can meditate successfully you won't have any worry about this so long as he applies it. Worst come to worst, at least you're not having the issue where he can't finish at all. Also, there's more than one way to work this stuff out. Have him spend more time on just you so that it evens out. He's attracted to you! Focus not on the specific acts, but just the fact you're with each other, and enjoy that time spent together.

And a mouth... Girls who complain about this stuff don't ask for enough foreplay. :(
dieselwrench4 | 4
Girls should not have to ask for it..
MyNameIsViet | 15
49, seeing that your a guy I'm surprised that you would know that.
RedPillSucks | 30
Exactly. Once he masturbates, the following erection should last a lot longer.
Trix_Disorder | 20
Why are you talking to me like I'm not a girl? Most girls can't come from insertion alone anyway, so lasting long enough really isn't the issue.
By BlowinChronic | 18
It's an improvement. The more you do it the longer he'll last so go after it!
etchsanity1 | 11
Meh that could just numb her up and completely ruin the experience ... Just double wrap the young lad and make sure any gel or numbing agent is inside the condom... Tried that stuff one time nearly 2 hours later the girlfriend and I were both more frustrated and tingly than anything else lol. That was my very first time having sex after that we didn't bother and decided 15 minutes was a good starting point lol we just practiced from there til we could go longer times.
wannabesinger | 16
You're never supposed to put two condoms on! That's just asking for them to break.
showmeyourears | 19
A minute is 60 seconds. So he lasts 1 min 20 sec.
Isoldael | 25
Depends on how you read it. She didn't say 3 times as long, but 3 times longer. If it's 3 times the original amount longer, the original time would have been one minute :)
capslockisgood | 19
18 he said 1.3 minutes not 1 minute 33 seconds

Actually if I'm correct he lasts 45 seconds. she said that he lasted 4 times longer and that equaled 3 minutes so you divide 3 by 4 and get 0.75. Then you times that by 60 and divide by 100. That gets you .45 or 45 seconds.

My bad she said 4 minutes so in that case that's 80 seconds or 1minute and 20 seconds

Op just couldn't math for the story.

Not sure why I'm being downvoted. Three times as long comes down to 300%, in which case the original time would indeed have been 1 minute and 20 seconds. Three times LONGER, however, means the original time plus three times as much (for a total of 400%). In that case, it was originally 1 minute. I guess the OP meant it like that.
Bloody hell, it's not that hard. 3 times longer is NOT the same as three times as long (which is 3 times the original) - it's the original amount plus three times that (making 4 times in total). He lasted 4 minutes this time so his usual time is 1 minute. To word differently, he lasted his usual 1 minute plus 3 more minutes (3 times more/longer). Did you really thing OP was getting so technical that she was multiplying 1.2 and 1.3, etc. as opposed to simply implying that he lasted about a minute?

I don't think we have to be quite so literal as to do math to figure out how long he lasted originally.. OP was just trying to make a point by saying that the prolonging gel helped, but since her boyfriend can only last for so long without it, it doesn't help all that much.

I knew there'd be math arguments after I read the FML. People just can't resist.

Everyone - the correct answer = too damn short for OP's liking. You're welcome :)
106 - I'm not confused - I wrote and clarified it in a variety of ways in the hope that even the simplest of minds would understand...unfortunately it seems that it didn't work for you. And I agree, the amount of discussion on this is ridiculous, but that's why I couldn't help but intervene in an attempt to set things straight. I guess next time I'll just leave it be though. Some people never get it and these things are more trouble than they're worth.

Take it as you must be really tight and therefor really good. That's what I always think of when I get a bad lay.

Really tight made it last a ton longer.... Sometimes prolonging the fun to the point of boredom .... But hey whatever lol

Having the Guy last long is pointless if the girl doesn't orgasm.

34 - I'm sorry, but you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
She said 3 times longer not 3 times as long as usual. If you're going to bother to do the math, do it right. You were looking for 1 minute - nice and round and simple.
Didn't mean to be rude, just losing patience due to the sheer number of incorrect comments on here....it's not really a matter of interpretation. 3x longer = 1 time plus 3 more. It's depressing how many people don't seem to understand this.
Today, I had sex with a guy I really had a connection with. It went perfect until I complimented how his moans during sex turn me on a lot, and he responded with, "That's what my mom told me." I laughed so hard we couldn't go on. FML

Jewish Family Services, especially Malka and Melissa, were instrumental in helping me in my job search. Malka's mock interview and advice helped me feel more confident and made me a better candidate, and she was always willing to help. I am so grateful for the time they spent helping me.
A couple of months ago I participated in one of the best organized, well marketed job fairs I have ever been a part of.
I have been a vendor in the job fair market for 15 years . I work as an independent contractor for a legal benefits company and we are very selective when it comes to our recruits . This event had the most qualified potentials I have seen in a long time. I am currently working with at least 4 very good new agents because of it. Thank you so much Lynne Asby!
I had been at what I thought was a secure job for 6+ years and all of a sudden, the rug got pulled out from under me. I was on vacation with my 5-year-old son when I got the news that I would be returning home to no job.
At the time, my husband was back in school since his job got out-sourced and would not be done with school for another year. So there we were, both jobless and trying to raise our son, pay the mortgage and pay the bills.
Since I had been the main bread winner of the family and the insurance carrier, I didn't have much time before I had to get back into the work force.
Jewish Family Services came along and gave me the skills and the confidence I needed to put my job search at full-speed-ahead. I had an interview lined up and luckily went to their 4-hour interview skills seminar the day before. I landed the job and now my family is back on track.
Their weekly meetings and seminars were invaluable. But, I have to say, my favorite thing about JFS is that everyone there made you feel so welcomed and at home. I never met a nicer group of people. You can tell that they were truly there to help you and sincerely wanted you to succeed.
Always feels good to know they are always there to help you through personal struggles.... My experience has been a very good one... I had gone through what seemed like something that would last forever.. Never thought I was strong enough to be completely on my own... Jewish Family Services helped me get my life on the right track.... Now that things are starting to fall into place and I have become stronger I owe a huge thank you to them.. They were a HUGE part of getting me to where I am today... A super extra thank you to Lisa Carroll. She is outstanding,strong, kind, and always helpful. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone who feels overwhelmed with life or is going through struggles... Whether it be job seeking, personal and emotional struggles, domestic violence, etc.... Jewish Family Services is there to help..

Before I came to Jewish Family Services I felt scared, alone, and stuck in the situation I was in. After working with them, I was given the support I needed to help me make the necessary changes in my life. I feel with their help I was given the chance to start over. I have since gotten out of my situation and am still getting their support. The people at Jewish Family Services go above and beyond when reaching out to help people in need. I highly recommend their services and am so impressed with all the different programs and support they offer!!!! They have given so much I plan on volunteering for this wonderful organization any chance I get.
I was laid off after 12 years. How to find a job has changed drastically. I went to the unemployment office. I have a Masters degree but most of the programs at the unemployment office were designed for non professionals. I found the Jewish family service through the Veteran Affairs.
As I said, looking and finding a job is very different in today's economy. The Jewish family services taught me how to change the things I was going. There were lots of FREE classes designed to you relearn the art of finding a job. There are weekly meetings with guess speaker. These meeting keep on track. They also put you in touch with people that may be able to help. You learn there are other people in the same boat and they help keep your spirits up and positive. The people running the program are very friendly and professional. Their knowledge and contacts are just as good as any paid program. They treat everyone with respect and concern for you situation. They repeatedly went out of their way to assist me. I can't say enough about the whole program.
I met Lynn Aspey, while employed with an outpatient physical/occupational therapy organization. My initial impression of Lynn has maintained to the present - a devoted leader with a dedicated passion for serving the Central Ohio area. I look forward to continued projects with Lynn.
My experience with JFS was that they care about helping me with my job search and things that I need like my resume and cover letters plus showing me how to do thank you letters.They give me good ideas for job hunting and keep me from getting discoureged.I feel like I will find a job with JFS helping me because they care about the community.
This is a wonderful organization that is highly involved in the community. They not only help people get back to work, but they also help other organizations in the community achieve their goals. For instance, I work for a local Universty that focuses on Adult degree programs. JFS provides information to their contacts, as well as their clients, about any available educational opportunities or events that we are holding. A relationship with JFS means a mutually beneficial, long-tern partnership.
Very attentive and well trained staff. Constant follow ups and up dates are provided. Always prompt to answer any questions.

Iran will continue to face restrictions on its missile program as well as its trade in conventional arms under an emerging nuclear agreement, a senior U.S. official said on Tuesday, hours after diplomats said that the talks between Tehran and world powers would continue past deadline until July 10.
The six major powers and Iran are still not where they need to be to achieve an agreement under which Iran would restrict its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions, the official added on condition of anonymity.
"There will be an ongoing restriction on arms (if there is a deal), just like there will be ongoing restrictions regarding missiles," the official said. "It will be part of the (United Nations) Security Council resolution."
Any deal concluded by Iran, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China will include a draft Security Council resolution that terminates all UN sanctions but re-imposes some specific measures. That resolution will then be presented to the 15-nation council for official adoption.
The official also said that the U.S. did not plan to agree to an additional three to six month extension of talks.
European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said earlier Tuesday that Iran and major powers would continue negotiations "for the next couple of days," but added: "This does not mean we are extending our deadline."
