The present invention relates to a system and methodology for interacting with a Subscription Platform Service (SPS) and providing data security between entities that employ such service. The system includes a component that receives a request to access an object by an entity, and a data store that stores security information on classes of the objects. A verification component employs the security information to determine whether the entity has permission to call an Application Programming Interface (API) for the object and/or operate on the object, wherein the verification component exposes the object if permission exists or masks the object if permission does not exist.
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, provide a system that facilitates access to a plurality of shared software objects by disparate entities, the system comprising:
a platform component executed by a computing device having a processor and a memory, that receives a request from a first entity to access one of the plurality of shared software objects, wherein the first entity is attempting to convert a subscription from a second type of a second entity to a first type of the first entity;
a data store that stores security information on one or more classes of the plurality of shared software objects, wherein the security information on each of the one or more classes is inherited by one or more shared software objects in each class, and wherein the security information includes a security parameter that indicates whether the first entity is permitted to convert the subscription from the second type to the first type; and
a verification component that employs the security information to verify that the first entity has permission to call an Application Programming Interface (API) for the one of the plurality of shared software objects to convert the subscription from the second type to the first type, wherein the verification component prevents the first entity from calling the API when the security parameter indicates that the first entity is not permitted to convert the subscription from the second type to the first type and the verification allows the first entity to call the API when the security parameter indicates that the first entity is permitted to convert the subscription from the second type to the first type.

an authentication component executing on a computing device having a memory and a processor that authenticates a first entity attempting to access an online billing and service system, wherein the first entity is attempting to convert a subscription from a second type of a second entity to a first type of the first entity;
an authorization component that authorizes the first entity to convert the subscription from the second type of the second entity to the first type of the first entity upon verifying at least one security parameter, wherein the at least one security parameter is assigned to a class of objects and is inherited by objects of the class by one or more of explicitly and implicitly assigning the security parameter to the objects of the class, wherein the at least one security parameter is stored in a database and is accessible via an application program interface that is automatically authorized by analyzing one or more security credentials, and wherein the at least one security parameter indicates allowability of the first entity to convert the subscription from the second type to the first type.
The present invention relates generally to computer systems, and more particularly to a system and method for protecting access to shared data structures in a centralized billing system via a globalized security feature associated with an object class.
Organizations that employ third-party service providers (application, network or otherwise) generally, should manage users and access rights across both their internal systems and the systems run by service providers. In some cases, provisioning systems can facilitate establishing new users' rights and privileges across multiple applications. Many provisioning systems include a workflow system, a logging and audit system, a database to support the workflow and auditing tasks, and personal agents that communicate with applications to add, delete, suspend or change users and privileges. Not all provisioning systems have equal spans of control and utility, however, wherein several problems currently exist.
At the core of many systems, custom-designed models and architectures have been developed to support existing businesses and/or business practices (e.g., an electronic accounting system that can only manage accounts relating to the associated business it was designed for). These models can include inflexible rules that are configured to one particular business model or a limited subset of business activity. Thus, inflexible or hard-coded designs are not easily adaptable to newer and ever-changing technologies such as provided by the Internet and/or other type electronic services. Consequently, if new services are to be added to existing businesses, or if new packages of services are desired, extensive systems, architectural improvements, and re-designs are generally required to support such services.
Another related problem involves the amount of development effort that is expended when new services become available and another entity that has not developed the service desires to sell the respective service or in some cases become aware of service availability. As an example, if a vendor of a music service were to add a subsequent service such as a retail merchandise service, it is very likely that the vendor would have to develop a custom and/or new interface to support existing billing and/or accounting practices that were previously in place for the original music service. As can be appreciated, if new interfaces, software, procedures and/or business practices are required when new services are added and deployed or in many cases when new relationships are established, then development time and associated costs can become excessive.
As technology migrates from a desktop centric world to a services based business, an increasing portion of revenue will be derived from billing customers and businesses for services they consume. In an online subscription business, for example, many tenants associated with the business also may be competitors with each other. Thus, these tenants generally desire to keep information about their customers confidential with respect to other tenants that may also utilize the business. From the tenant's perspective, they do not want their competition to be able to gain access to sensitive customer information or worse, allow the competitor to modify or delete such information. Therefore, protections should be in place to mitigate the possibilities of confidential data being accessed by unauthorized parties.
The following presents a simplified summary of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is intended to neither identify key or critical elements of the invention nor delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The present invention relates to systems and methods that provide an architecture by which partners (e.g., tenants and service providers) employ an automated billing and provisioning system for creating/servicing/managing subscriptions while mitigating exposure of sensitive or confidential data between partners. In this manner, respective partners can utilize a full range of services offered by the billing and provisioning system in an autonomous manner by individual partners while such services can be concurrently accessed by a plurality of such partners. "Partner Sanboxing" provides a system and method for authorizing partners to facilitate that these entities receive full access to Application Programming Interfaces (API's) and/or objects for which there is a business need and partial or no access to other API's or business objects. This granular grant of rights is supported in an easily configurable, data driven manner.
A shared billing system or subscription platform can easily consist of several million or billions of "business objects" which in the case of a Subscription Platform Service (SPS) relates to customer accounts and subscriptions. In such cases, it is generally not efficient to maintain security information (e.g., via separate Access Control Lists or ACLs) along with each one of the various objects. Instead, a smart optimization process is provided for storing security information on one or more classes of objects that are employed by the service. Thus, each new object created automatically inherits default or determined security information related to its class. In some exceptions, it is possible to override the default security settings with higher or different security options with an explicit security grant for the object in question.
When a partner such as a tenant attempts to perform an operation on a business object, an automated check or determination can be performed to verify that the tenant in question is allowed to call an API attempting access to the business object. If the check or determination succeeds, another check or determination can be performed to facilitate that the tenant has suitable privileges to operate on the respective business object. If the tenant does not have suitable privileges, the object can be hidden from the tenant. In this manner, the tenant has the impression that it is the only partner on the entire system even though the system may support several partners concurrently.
The present invention also supports proxied tenant callers where an intermediate proxy can place calls into the SPS on behalf of another tenant but still gain access to the desired objects. Security principals for identifying partners can be platform neutral and stored in a backend databases for high performance access checks. Management of authorization information can also be achieved through a separate management portal, if desired.
The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative aspects of the invention. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the invention may be employed and the present invention is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The present invention relates to a system and methodology for interacting with a Subscription Platform Service (SPS) and providing data security between entities that employ such service. The Subscription Platform Service can be provided as a centralized platform supporting billing, provisioning, signup, data storage and/or supportability needs of several partners, for example. Such a shared platform model has several advantages, wherein partner data privacy and integrity should also be provided to mitigate unauthorized reading or modifying data belonging to another partner's users. Partner sandboxing is a feature that allows several partners to maintain their data in a virtual, isolated environment (i.e., sandbox) even though the data may be physically present in a shared data store. In this manner, one partner cannot intentionally or accidentally read or modify the data of another partner's users. Also, this feature saves on the additional cost of having separate billing systems for each partner in order to maintain security between partners.
In online subscription businesses, for example, a business entity providing subscription services may have partners (e.g., content/service providers), whereby the "partners" are competitors of each other. Partner sandboxing controls partner access to subscriber information (i.e., "objects") in a shared multi-partner billing system. It is generally not efficient to maintain security information (e.g., Access Control Lists, or ACLs) along with each respective object. Instead, security information can be stored on classes of objects. When a partner attempts to perform an operation on a business object, an automated verification can be performed to verify permissions to call an associated Application Programming Interface (API) and/or verify privileges to operate on the object. In one aspect of the present invention, a system is provided that facilitates access to a plurality of shared software objects by disparate entities. The system includes a component (e.g., SPS) that receives a request to access an object by an entity, and a data store that stores security information on classes of the objects. A verification component employs the security information to determine whether the entity has permission to call an API for the object and/or operate on the object, wherein the verification component exposes the object if permission exists or masks the object if permission does not exist.
As used in this application, the terms "component," "interface," "object," "system," and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers. Also, these components can execute from various computer readable media having various data structures stored thereon. The components may communicate via local and/or remote processes such as in accordance with a signal having one or more data packets (e.g., data from one component interacting with another component in a local system, distributed system, and/or across a network such as the Internet with other systems via the signal).

In one aspect of the present invention, it is desirable for the partners 120 to be able to access the SPS 110 and objects 140 in a manner whereby it appears to the partner that they are the only entity employing such services even though other entities or partners utilize common aspects of the system. In other words, data stored from one entity or partner via the objects 140 should be shielded or protected from activities from another entity or partner 120. This type of protection can be modeled as a security perimeter surrounding the objects 140 to mitigate unauthorized access to a respective partner's object or objects. This type of modeled security for respective objects 140 can also be referred to as a "Partner Sandbox." For example, if a first partner has access to an Object! and a second partner has access to Object2, then neither partner should be allowed access the other partner's object that is protected by a security "sandbox" without suitable authorization from one of the partners. One manner for achieving security for the objects 140 is to employ an Access Control List (ACL) for each object. However, since the SPS 110 and associated data store 130 can support a plurality of objects, then creation and maintenance of the lists for each object can become inefficient in terms of data storage requirements and associated processing of the lists.
To mitigate ACL processing and storage, the present invention employs a multi-tiered security model. At one level, a verification component 160 is associated with the SPS to determine and verify whether or not a respective partner 120 should be allowed access to the objects 140 via the API's 150. The verification component 160 can perform checks (e.g., security credential checking, authentication, authorization) on the partner issuing the API 150 to determine whether the partner should be allowed access to the objects 140, wherein detailed examples of verification are described below. At another level of security depicted at reference numeral 170, the objects 140 when created, can inherit (or supplied to object by a component) a default or determined level of security from one or more class components 180. By inheriting security properties as object members of a respective class, creation and management of individual ACL's is mitigated. Since there may be circumstances whereby the partner 120 may desire additional or other security options, one or more override security mechanisms 190 may be provided to augment default security properties of the class component 180.

Object Sandboxing described below provides suitable security even without API security. A malicious Tenant should be able to call any API freely without risk of damaging another Tenant's business. However, restricting the ability to call APIs has some advantages:

Before proceeding with a detailed discussion of
An AuthorizeSPKAPI class can override SOAPExtension methods such as:
At 410, a SOAP request arrives requesting a specific SPK API. At 420, an ASP.NET application (or other type) fires an AuthorizeSPKAPI.Initialize method. This event fires after an HTTP request arrives, but before processing is performed on the request. An Initialize method refreshes its local API Role data cache at 430 if it is absent or more than five minutes old (or other predetermined time). At 440, the ASP.NET application fires an AuthorizeSPKAPI.ProcessMessage method for AfterDeserialize. The ProcessMessage collects information about the call such as the caller's NT name from HTTPContext.User and the requested API from SOAPMessage.MethodName. At 450, ProcessMessage matches the information against its local cache of Authorization data. If there is no such NT name (or other type verification), then create an error of type SPK_BAD_CREDENTIALS and abort further processing at 460. At 470, if the NT name is listed in an Identity table, but the corresponding API Caller is not allowed to call the requested API, then create an error of type SPK_API_NOT_AUTHORIZED and abort further processing at 480. Otherwise, ProcessMessage exits with an implicitly successful authorization at 480.
In general, the Authorization model supports the following object-level rights in order to minimize security descriptor overhead:
Sandboxing security can be implemented at the SPS business object level, wherein objects requiring explicit protection can list a set of access rights granted to specific API Callers. As noted above, storing an ACL on every subscription in the system can be costly in terms of disk space, and impedes changing large numbers of ACLs swiftly. Moreover, Subscription ACLs are highly uniform in the common case, since most subscriptions are sold directly by a supplier company. As an optimization, SPS can define default Subscription ACLs, indexed by Offer. If a Subscription does not have an ACL stored locally, then the default Subscription ACL for that offer can be processed as the active ACL. This does not alter the security of Subscriptions, however. A difference is that the Subscription's explicit ACL is stored centrally or in a global manner and is thus referenced by more than one Subscription.
Results from APIs related to Account details should be filtered based upon the implicit security on that account. These APIs (GetAccountInfo, GetAccountIDFromAdminPUID, and GetAccountEDFromPaymentInstrumentInfo) are designed to return billable information on an account, including some information that could be construed as private. However in order to support up-sell and cross-sell, all Tenants should have the ability to locate Accounts and see their basic status regardless of their prior relationship with the customer. The results from these APIs can depend upon the subscriptions on the target account. An API Caller that does not have the Access or
Support right on a dependent subscription should only see summary details on the account, regardless of whether the API Caller specifies the bFullData flag in the call.
In particular, information provided to an API caller without these rights will be limited to:
When an Offer is purchased, a Subscription is created and related to an original offer. The resulting Subscription is visible to SPS Tenants, and visible by an Account Management team associated with the Tenant that purchased the Offer:
A Tenant Agents Table (not shown) allows multiple Tenants to name the same API Caller for one of their agent roles. For example, two 3rd-Party Tenants could name the same Signup API Caller server to perform their signup work. However, since those two Tenants may not use the same Account Management and Customer Care API Callers, it is desirable for CSF and other Proxy Signup API Callers to know the identity of the Tenant they are proxying and create Subscriptions with the appropriate ACLs. The PurchaseOffering and ConvertSubscription APIs can be overloaded to support a Purchase On Behalf of a named Tenant. When Signup API Callers purchase an Offer On Behalf of a Tenant, the derived Subscription can be processed as though it had been purchased by an agent of that Tenant. Signup API Callers may purchase an Offer On Behalf of a Tenant provided that:
A Purchase On Behalf schema overloads a bstrReferralSetXML that is a component of PurchaseOffering, but does not change the schema signature. The bstrReferralSetXML can be added to ConvertSubscription. The following is an example of a Purchase On Behalf request to purchase an MSN9 Offer for an example wireline tenant:
Restricted Audience Offers have an explicit list of Tenants that may purchase the Offer:
Although the ability to purchase or convert to a Restricted Audience Offer is limited, the resulting Subscription has no more restrictions than a typical Subscription purchased by an exclusive Signup agent.
At 920, conversions are employed to transfer a user from one Offer bundle to another without requiring the user to cancel his or her existing subscription. When a conversion path between two subscriptions is defined, an API Caller with access to a ConvertSubscription API may request to convert subscriptions of the first type into subscriptions of the second type. This could conceivably lead to theft of business between wholesale providers, a practice known in the Telcom industry as "slamming." SPS can protect against slamming with a restriction upon subscription conversion: API Callers may only convert a subscription if they EITHER have the right to Support the Payment Instrument type used by the original Subscription OR if the Subscription is in the Expired state.
At 930, Payment Instrument Security is considered. Offers can also be restricted by payment instrument type. There are generally three options to pay for a Subscription:
Referring now to
The rules 1116 can include service delivery rules, qualification rules, rating rules, and/or other type rules that facilitate billing and provisioning processing in accordance with the processing engines 1112. Depending on the nature of the events 1114, the processing engines 1112 apply a set or subset of the rules 1116 that are associated with the events. For example, service delivery rules define atomic units of service to be delivered that include data about the type of service, service level delivery, and/or associated resource balance relating to performance and payment of a service. Qualification rules define eligibility requirements for purchase of a respective service. These rules can be created to restrict and/or alter purchasing of services to a limited set of users, user languages, currencies, countries, tenants, service providers, existing services and/or offerings owned, affiliation with a particular tenant, payment via a particular method, and so forth. Rating rules facilitate determining balance impacts to currency balances that result in charges and/or include non-currencies that monitor consumption and allocation of services. These rules can be defined within the scope of an individual offering to be processed in the context of the subscription event model, described above. As will be described in more detail below, one or more data stores 1118 are provided to support billing and provisioning within the system 1110 and related subscription/event processing by the processing engines 1112.
A Subscription Platform Service (SPS) 1120 is provided that includes one or more Subscription Platform Objects (SPO) 1124 in order to establish and maintain billing, provisioning, and account relationships between one or more tenants 1130, one or more service providers 1134 and one or more customers 1140. In general, the tenants 1130 sell services that are performed by the service providers 1134 to the customers 1140, wherein the SPS 1120 is employed to create and manage a respective billing account for such services. The tenant 1130 offers a service or package of services (related or unrelated) to the customer 1140 or consumer of the services. An offering can include an atomic unit of salable items associated with a service in the system 1110. Offerings can contain collections of service delivery, qualification, and rating rules, plus multiple language and pricing descriptions for respective eligible languages, and include additional meta-data employed by the system 1110. Subscriptions provide an instance of an offering that is associated with a respective end user or customer 1140.
If a subscription for the service is desired, the tenant 1130 retrieves credit card information or other type of billing arrangement from the customer 1140, exchanges legal or contract information with the customer, and determines an amount to charge the customer on a regular or periodic basis for the service or services. The tenant 1130 employs the SPS 1120 to create a billing account, authorize the customer's credit card or other instrument with an associated financial institution, and notifies the service provider 1134 to begin offering services to the customer 1140. As services are performed by the service provider 1134, the SPS 1120 bills the customer's account. It is to be appreciated that other components illustrated in the system 1110 can offer or sell services to the customer 1140 in accordance with the present invention. For example, the service provider 1134 can offer and sell services to the customer 1140 without interacting with a respective tenant 1130.
Other parties or entities that are involved with the SPS 1120 include customer service components at 1144 to provide on-going support and management of customer accounts. Payment providers at 1150 (e.g., banks, financial institutions) facilitate payment of customer accounts, whereas financial, business, and product operations aspects are illustrated at 1154. Financial and business operations can employ the SPS 1120 for data manipulation and analysis, if desired, whereas product operations can utilize the SPS to determine and provide product catalog offerings such as with packaged services, for example.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an Application Program Interface set (API) 1160-1170 is provided, wherein the respective entities 1130-1154 can interact with the SPS 1120. The API set 1160-1170 generally performs as an interface to the SPS 1120. It is through the API set 1160-1170 that tenants 1130, service providers 1134, customers 1140, customer service representatives 1144, payment providers 1150 and/or financial/other operations 1154 access one or more features of the subscription platform service 1120. For example, the API set 1160-1170 can expose one or more of the following aspects such as Account Management, Product Catalog Search and Manipulation, Subscription Management, User Authorization, Usage events, Online Statements/Self-Care, Customer Service Utilities, Business and Product Operations, Utilities, Events and Notifications, and/or Provisioning Support.
An Extensible Markup Language (XML) schema can be provided that defines the platform objects 1124 for provisioning, billing and/or customer care. For example, the objects 1124 can include Accounts, Payment Instruments, Offerings, Service Components, Subscriptions, Service Instances, Role Assignments, Permits, Resources, Billing Statement Period Information, Billing Statement Payment Information, Billing Statement Line Items, Comments, and/or Settlement Information to name possible object functionality. The entities 1130-1154 can also interact with the SPS 1120 and/or between entities across a network 1170 and via a protocol 1174.
The protocol 1174 can include a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), although as can be appreciated other protocols can be selected. SOAP facilitates a program running in one type of operating system to communicate with a program in the same or another kind of an operating system by utilizing Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and/or XML as components for information exchange, as an example. An optional Partner Support Object (PSO) 1180 can be provided with the entities 1130-1154 to facilitate communications between entities and the SPS 1120. For example, the PSO 1180 can provide a helper interface for establishing connections to the SPS 1120 and/or provide connection pooling of objects to facilitate performance. The PSO 1180 generally exposes a single API such as a connect interface. After installing the PSO 1180, the respective entity 1130-1154 can utilize the PSO for authentication, authorization, and/or other communications, if desired.

The SPS 1210 coordinates processing by various engines 1220 within the system 1200 and generally controls writing and updating data into various data stores 1224. A product catalog 1230 is provided that can include a defined SQL Server database that stores the catalog of service component definitions, partner permissions, and/or offering meta data. The product catalog 1230 can also include rating, qualification, and/or service delivery rules associated with individual offerings. Additional features supported by the product catalog 1230 include service component registrations (e.g., component ID assignments, partner IDs, URLs, support information), cross-partner offerings including multi-service component offerings and cross partner bundles. The catalog 1230 can include globalized offerings according to a plurality of countries, languages, associated currencies, customs and taxes in addition to providing groups of offerings that map substantially any combination of services.
Offering information can also be stored in the product catalog 1230. This information can include base, upgrade, downgrade, renewal, add-on, and mutual exclusivity between services information. In addition, eligibility information relating to date of sale, partners, languages, countries, currencies, maximum ownership per accounts, and valid payment instruments can be provided. Other offering information relates to billing cycles (e.g., monthly, multi-month, 28 day, forward/arrears cycle billing). This can also include information relating to renewals such as automatic or confirmed renewals and information relating to grace periods for settling accounts. Other catalog items can include event to rule mapping entries that define a subset of rules to be executed in the occurrence of an associated event.
A balance impact rating engine 1234 processes an extensible set of rating rules and/or ratings events—from the product catalog 1230 and a rated event store 1232, respectively, in the context of a subscription and associated subscription events that can be stored in a subscription store 1240. This engine 1234 can process a plurality of balance impact events (e.g., events affecting payment and utilization of services) provided at the scale of multiple service providers, tenants, customers, and/or other entities. The balance impact events can be stored and processed in a billing impact store at 1244. A resource balances store 150 maintains an aggregate amount for respective accounts that result from processing of rating rules by the balance impact rating engine 1234. Balances can be "typed" to indicate a value for the units of service represented, and scoped to one or more service delivery rules. This can include processing currency and non-currency resources, and processing rating rules that respond to user driven events (UDE) such as purchase, cancellation, cycle, usage reports, convert to/from, renewal, suspend and reactivate, for example. In addition, ratable events can be partitioned according to periods and provide immediate settlements and/or settlement amounts aggregated per a selected payment instrument. It is noted that the engines 1220 and/or system 1200 components can be implemented in substantially any object model framework (e.g., COM, DCOM, CORBA, .NET).
A qualification engine 1254 evaluates the eligibility of an individual user to purchase, cancel, and/or convert online service subscriptions. This engine 1254 processes qualification rules (stored in the product catalog 1230) associated with a given offering, employing attributes of an end user profile and associated subscriptions, for example. A provisioning engine 1260 coordinates transactional processing of defined provisioning methods across common service providers in response to suitable events as provided in the subscription event model, described above. This engine 1260 facilitates accurate and timely delivery of services to an end user. Provisioning methods include the act of setting the state (e.g., setting a flag or condition based on non-payment of bills) required to deliver or prevent delivery of a specified service to a designated user of the service or services. The provisioning engine 1260 also controls the flow of communications to service providers 1234, tenants 1230, or other entity (not shown) that employ one or more APIs 1260, 1270 to respond to provisioning events.
A Partner Configuration Tool (PCT) 1270 and a Partner Configuration Loader 1274 can communicate to the product catalog 1230 through an out-of-band process, if desired. Communications should be in accordance with an administrator having suitable security credentials for configuring and/or loading product catalog data. The PCT 1270 can be implemented as a graphical user interface (GUI) tool to configure service delivery rules, offerings, qualification rules, and/or per tenant permissions in addition to other parameters. The Partner Configuration Loader 1274 loads one or more Partner Configuration Files (PCF) 1278 into multiple system environments facilitating shared development/testing—across partner's testing and deployment, into multiple production and pre-production environments. The Partner Configuration Loader 1274 also facilitates creation of a partner account within the system 1200 to provide a substantially secure transmission of protected data to a respective partner. A protecting key can be transmitted out of band, for example, in order to mitigate attempts at hacking the system 1200. The PCF 1278 can be a transient schema file that includes definitions of offerings and associated qualification, rating, service delivery rules and/or partner permissions in an XML format, if desired. This format can include design time attributes employed by the PCT 1270 and/or runtime attributes employed by the various engines 1220 in the system 1200.
It is to be appreciated that the systems, components, and/or processes described thus far and described below can be implemented as individual components or processes and/or can be combined in various combinations. In addition, one or more of the described components and/or processes can be combined in accordance with various other components and/or processes—including providing all components and/or processes in a single component, or combinations of components, if desired.
In order to provide a context for the various aspects of the invention,
With reference to
The system bus 1318 can be any of several types of bus structure(s) including the memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus or external bus, and/or a local bus using any variety of available bus architectures including, but not limited to, 16-bit bus, Industrial Standard Architecture (ISA), Micro-Channel Architecture (MSA), Extended ISA (EISA), Intelligent Drive Electronics (IDE), VESA Local Bus (VLB), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Universal Serial Bus (USB), Advanced Graphics Port (AGP), Personal Computer Memory Card International Association bus (PCMCIA), and Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI).
The system memory 1316 includes volatile memory 1320 and nonvolatile memory 1322. The basic input/output system (BIOS), containing the basic routines to transfer information between elements within the computer 1312, such as during start-up, is stored in nonvolatile memory 1322. By way of illustration, and not limitation, nonvolatile memory 1322 can include read only memory (ROM), programmable ROM (PROM), electrically programmable ROM (EPROM), electrically erasable ROM (EEPROM), or flash memory. Volatile memory 1320 includes random access memory (RAM), which acts as external cache memory. By way of illustration and not limitation, RAM is available in many forms such as synchronous RAM (SRAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), double data rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM), enhanced SDRAM (ESDRAM), Synchlink DRAM (SLDRAM), and direct Rambus RAM (DRRAM).
Computer 1312 also includes removable/non-removable, volatile/non-volatile computer storage media.
It is to be appreciated that
A user enters commands or information into the computer 1312 through input device(s) 1336. Input devices 1336 include, but are not limited to, a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, stylus, touch pad, keyboard, microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, TV tuner card, digital camera, digital video camera, web camera, and the like. These and other input devices connect to the processing unit 1314 through the system bus 1318 via interface port(s) 1338. Interface port(s) 1338 include, for example, a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, and a universal serial bus (USB). Output device(s) 1340 use some of the same type of ports as input device(s) 1336. Thus, for example, a USB port may be used to provide input to computer 1312, and to output information from computer 1312 to an output device 1340. Output adapter 1342 is provided to illustrate that there are some output devices 1340 like monitors, speakers, and printers, among other output devices 1340, that require special adapters. The output adapters 1342 include, by way of illustration and not limitation, video and sound cards that provide a means of connection between the output device 1340 and the system bus 1318. It should be noted that other devices and/or systems of devices provide both input and output capabilities such as remote computer(s) 1344.
Computer 1312 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computer(s) 1344. The remote computer(s) 1344 can be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a workstation, a microprocessor based appliance, a peer device or other common network node and the like, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to computer 1312. For purposes of brevity, only a memory storage device 1346 is illustrated with remote computer(s) 1344. Remote computer(s) 1344 is logically connected to computer 1312 through a network interface 1348 and then physically connected via communication connection 1350. Network interface 1348 encompasses communication networks such as local-area networks (LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN). LAN technologies include Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI), Ethernet/IEEE 1102.3, Token Ring/IEEE 1102.5 and the like. WAN technologies include, but are not limited to, point-to-point links, circuit switching networks like Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN) and variations thereon, packet switching networks, and Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL).
Communication connection(s) 1350 refers to the hardware/software employed to connect the network interface 1348 to the bus 1318. While communication connection 1350 is shown for illustrative clarity inside computer 1312, it can also be external to computer 1312. The hardware/software necessary for connection to the network interface 1348 includes, for exemplary purposes only, internal and external technologies such as, modems including regular telephone grade modems, cable modems and DSL modems, ISDN adapters, and Ethernet cards.
What has been described above are preferred aspects of the present invention. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the present invention, but one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the present invention are possible. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

About John
John Freestone overcame severe childhood priviledges to emerge one of the world's lesser-known also-rans. From an early age he applied his inconsiderable linguistic talent to the art of waffling smugly about nothing, although he didn't pursue a career in politics. He survived the rigours of a loving family and private education to embark irresolutely on a science degree at Oxford, where he busied himself with the task of getting as high as possible. By the second year, he realised he could no longer go on frittering money away on education and rent, dropped out and spent the next few years living in other people's houses, claiming to be the reincarnation of Bob Dylan, despite rumours that Bob wasn't dead.
John developed his musical abilities unsteadfastly ever since he left the Dogmatic Reductionist Strait-jacket of Meritocracy (after the drummer called him an "effete ponce"). He went on to become one of the best-known members of a rock band, almost instantly recognised by the others. He made a successful foray into stand-up, on one occasion standing up for over ten minutes. He was offered, but declined, Chairmanship of the Apathy Society.
John held down several demanding jobs over the course of his career, mostly involving moving things about or occasionally pressing a button, but his ponderous rise to insignificance has not been without its challenges. In 1990 he was forced to consult a therapist to address his personal problems, in particular, how to avoid the poverty, boredom and self-loathing that came with a life of extreme indolence. He needed a new direction, a good job, one that involved making a shed-load of money without having to get off his backside. After several sessions, he realised that the answer was giving him eye-contact in the face: he decided to become a therapist. He continues very successfully to think about becoming a therapist to this day.
John has had an interest in Buddhism ever since he learned that "Zazen" means "sitting doing nothing for extended periods". He has made considerable progress in his meditation, gaining many insights into the nature of Reality, Emptiness, and Pastry. He currently lives in a shed on his neighbour's land, and will accept Devotional Gifts.

What is Art Nouveau?
"Art Nouveau (French pronunciation: [aʁ nuvo], Anglicised to /ˈɑːrt nuːˈvoʊ/) or Jugendstil is an international philosophy[1] and style of art, architecture and applied art—especially the decorative arts—that was most popular during 1890–1910.[2] English uses the French name Art nouveau ("new art"), but the style has many different names in other countries. A reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it was inspired by natural forms and structures, not only in flowers and plants, but also in curved lines. Architects tried to harmonize with the natural environment.[3]
Art Nouveau is considered a "total" art style, embracing architecture, graphic art, interior design, and most of the decorative arts including jewellery, furniture, textiles, household sil

When Israel still held the Sinai, the Beduoin in Northern Sinai actullay enjoyed a very good life. Those that lived in villages worked for israeli construction companies and there was economic trade with their Israeli neighbours. The Beduoin farmers had a local outlet for their crops. Living in the Rafiach Salient, we had quite a few friends among the Beduoin there. During the Israeli era, many of them had the money to send their children to univeristies in Egypt and Jordan. They were very worried (justifiably, as it turns out)about the Egyptian takeover. The Egyptians called them "The Jews of Sinai". My heart goes out to those warm, hospitable, proud people who are having such a hard time under Egyptian rule. Free Sinai for the Bedouin!

Saheb Sarbib
|Saheb Sarbib
|Birth name
|Jean Henri Sarbib
|jazz double-bassist and bandleader
|Years active
|40´s - 80´s
Saheb Sarbib (born 1944) is an American jazz double-bassist and bandleader.
Sarbib, born Jean Henri Sarbib, was raised in Europe. His father was Roger Sarbib a well-respected French pianist and innovator of the Big Band style in Portugal in the 40's and 50's also pianist of icons of French song such as Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet and Maurice Chevalier. From 1973 to about 1977 Sarbib led his own ensembles in France; Daunik Lazro, François Jeanneau, Muhammad Ali, and Mino Cinélu were among those who played with him as sidemen. In Europe he became affiliated with Cecil Taylor and performed with Cecil Taylor and Archie Shepp.
Sarbib moved to New York City, on 1977 where he led small groups and established the Saheb Sarbib Multinational Big Band, with sidemen including Roy Campbell, Jack Walrath, Art Baron, Talib Kibwe, Pete Chavez, Joe Ford, Jemeel Moondoc, Richard Baratta, Mark Whitecage, Dave Hofstra, Guilherme Franco, Booker T., and the great saxophonist Joe Lovano. Paul Nebenzahl helped arrange his charts. Sarbib also performed with Paul Motian, Rashied Ali, Hal Galper and Kirk Lightsey in New York City nightclubs in the late 1970s.
Saheb also played double bass for saxophonist Archie Shepp including his 1984 album Down Home New York alongside Charles McGhee on trumpet, Kenny Werner on piano, and Marvin "Smitty" Smith on drums.
He collaborated with the Portuguese avant-garde improv ensemble Telectu, playing several times with the duo, including the first edition of the Festival de Jazz de Lisboa. In 1989 the group recorded "Encounters II / Labirintho 7.8" with Saheb that was recorded between NY and Porto later in 1990.
Sarbib disappeared from music in the late 1980s. He now is an art and antique dealer, husband and father in upstate New York.

Is Connor Paolo Gay? You Asked, We Answered
Connor Paolo is best known for playing Declan Porter on ABC's breakout hit soap, Revenge — but before he was sleeping with socialites on the beach, he had a boyfriend ... on screen!
Connor played Serena van der Woodsen's gay brother on Gossip Girl, which has caused quite the confusion about his real-life sexual preferences.
Time to clear things up! Connor loves the ladies, but he had no problem switching teams during his stint as Eric van der Woodsen.
"I'm an actor and it's a part," he said. "Being gay is nothing but another way to live your life. It's just who he is."
As far as we know, Connor is single and ready to mingle with some Hamptons hotties, but he dated actress Alice Kremelberg (Baby Mama, Guiding Light) from 2007-2009.
Sigh, you know what that means. Get ready to play matchmaker, ladies!
