The claimed subject matter relates generally to systems and/or methods that detect mass electronic-mailings from legitimate and illegitimate sources and thereafter communicates with an upstream network device to progressively constrain connections emanating from those sources.
There are many and various factors that can cause email servers to experience stress due to information overload. Examples are spam storms (and other mail related attacks), denial of service attacks, legitimate and illegitimate (albeit not illegal) mass marketing mailings, to name a few. Nevertheless, there are many instances where legitimate enterprises in furtherance of their business goals will want and need to disburse advertising and marketing information to interested consumers/customers.
Loyalty programs are marketing contrivances employed in many commercial sectors, such as, for example, retail (e.g. supermarket rewards cards, points cards, club cards, and the like) and commercial aviation (e.g. frequent flyer programs, etc.), that reward band loyalty. Typically, customers/consumers enrolled in the program accrue points and are entitled to discounts and/or rewards based upon pre-established criteria (e.g. distance flown on a particular airline, amount of produce purchased from a particular retail establishment, etc.). In order for loyalty programs and other mass marketing programs to keep their members apprised of various available offers, discounts, rewards and developments associated with these programs, many, if not most, have adopted electronic mail (email) as one of the preferred methods of communication to contact their members.
Typically, enterprises (e.g., commercial, educational, institutional, governmental, etc.) have substantial electronic mail infrastructure that for the most part is specifically constructed to satisfy a particular enterprise's unique requirements. While such electronic mail infrastructure may be perceived as being considerable, the electronic mail infrastructure utilized by organizations involved in mass marketing and/or loyalty marketing campaigns can be many orders of magnitude larger and more powerful than those ever conceived and/or required by typical enterprises. Thus when electronic mail infrastructure utilized by organization involved in mass marketing and/or loyalty marketing campaigns commence disseminating electronic mail related to the marketing campaign the volume of messages (e.g. in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands) that can be received by a typical enterprise electronic mail infrastructure can be so overwhelming that the typical enterprise electronic mail infrastructure will generally issue a transient error message. Transient error messages typically inform sending systems to try sending their messages later. This however has two major problems. First, there is no control as to when the sending system might try to resend the message; it might be 10 minutes, 4 hours, 1 day or never. Second, transient error messages cause a yo-yo effect since all global systems are effectively told to re-send their messages at some later time. So once the receiving mail server has recovered sufficiently to start accepting connections again, those systems that were told to re-send at a later time immediately re-send causing the receiving system to vacillate between issuing transient error messages and accepting connections for a period from anywhere between 24 to 48 hours.
The following presents a simplified overview in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed subject matter. This overview is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The claimed subject matter relates generally to detecting mass mailings and then communicating with an upstream network device to throttle the connections coming from the domain sending the mass mailings. In one aspect the claimed subject matter pertains to a system that effectuates dynamic mass mail throttling, comprising: a throttling component that receives a message from a transmitting mail server, determines whether the message relates to a mass mailing, and based at least on the determination automatically directs an upstream network device to associate a wait state to the transmitting mail server.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the disclosed and claimed subject matter are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles disclosed herein can be employed and is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features will become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The subject matter as claimed is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding thereof. It may be evident, however, that the claimed subject matter can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate a description thereof.
The claimed subject matter provides improved solutions as to when and how mass mailings are directed towards recipients, ensures that mail servers are never too busy to deliver and receive emails unrelated to mass mailings in an expeditious and timely manner and attempt to obviate the necessity for mail servers to issue transient error messages. The subject matter as claimed in one illustrative aspect can be included on any upstream network device. For example, the claimed subject matter can be included on a mail server that is in communication with an upstream network device (e.g., a firewall, an edge router, etc.). As a further example, the subject matter as claimed can be included in a network device interposed between a mail server and an upstream network device (e.g., in this instance the mail server configuration need not be modified). In yet a further example, the claimed subject matter can comprise the upstream device itself (e.g., the subject matter as claimed can be the firewall).
Throttling component 120 on receipt of incoming messages from transmitting mail servers other than mail server 110 investigates packet headers and contents of incoming messages, identifies which physical devices disseminated messages (e.g., via Media Access Control (MAC) address, Internet Protocol (IP) address, Network Interface Controller (NIC) address, and the like), and ascertains other identifying information, such as, for example, domain name, date and time message was sent, who sent the message (e.g., from the originator fields of the message), the message identifier (e.g., from the message ID field), etc. Additionally, throttling component 120 compares the foregoing data with information, if any, that has been previously persisted, and where necessary determines a relative rate at which a particular transmitting mail server is issuing messages and throttling component 120 is receiving these messages. Throttling component 120 based at least in part on the determined relative rate can automatically commence bandwidth limiting by closing down the transmission bandwidth associated with the identified transmitting mailer server. For example, where transmitting mailer server has initially been assigned a bandwidth of 100 Mbits/sec, throttling component 120 can dynamically, progressively and successively reduce the assigned bandwidth (e.g., 10 Mbits/sec, 1 Mbits/sec, . . . , etc.). Where throttling component 120 ascertains that the transmitting mail server is issuing messages at a rate so egregious that it is beyond the capabilities of mail server 110, throttling component 120 can reduce the assigned bandwidth to zero, effectively closing down the transmitting mail server's access to mail server 110.
Throttling component 120 can further include a detection component 220 that identifies the transmitting mail server (e.g., utilizing Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)), determines from, for example, message header fields other pertinent information associated with the received message (e.g., domain name, message sender's identity, message ID number, time-stamp data, etc.), and utilizes information regarding the transmitting mail server and other salient information associated with, and derived from, the received message to ascertain whether the transmitting mail server and the information contained in the message header has been previously identified and persisted. Detection component 220 additionally, based at least in part on information associated with the received message and information previously identified and persisted, determines a rate at which a transmitting mail server, and more particularly a particular email address, or group of email addresses, is distributing messages.
Throttling component 120 can also include a suppression component 230 that based at least in part on the information furnished by detection component 220 can effectuate measure to ensure that the identified transmitting mail server perceives a diminution in the speed at which messages are being received by mail server 110. For example, where a transmitting mail server is initially able to deliver messages to mail server at Gigabit speed, when throttling component 120, though its various components, ascertains that the transmitting mail server has commenced transmitting loyalty marketing program bulk or batch emails, suppression component 230 can automatically and progressively commence reducing the bandwidth available for the identified transmitting mail server to deliver its messages. Thus, where detection component 220 ascertains that the rate at which a transmitting mail server is delivering messages from a particular mail account exceeds a particular set point or dynamically ascertained threshold, suppression component 230 can, for example, progressively reduce the bandwidth available for the identified mail server from 1 Gbits/sec to 100 Mbits/sec at the first instance of the rate exceeding the threshold, from 100 Mbits/sec to 10 Mbits/sec on the second occurrence of the rate exceeding the threshold, and so on, until such time that the rate at which the messages are being received reaches a steady state. Conversely, where a transmitting mail server has progressively been assigned successively narrower bandwidths to effectively calm or smooth out the superabundance of messages emanating from the transmitting mail server, suppression component 230 can gradually restore bandwidth associated with a transmitting mail server when detection component 220 indicates that the rate at which messages are being received has significantly diminished.
Detection component 220 can also include analysis component 320 that, in conjunction with repository 330 and information supplied by identification component 310, can determine whether there has been a relative increase, or diminution, in the rate at which messages originating from a particular transmitting mail server, or group of mail servers, is being received. Analysis component 320 can ascertain the increase or decrease in the rate at which messages are arriving from a particular transmitting mail server based at least on a pre-established set point (e.g., the set point can be specified by a system administrator). Alternatively and/or additionally, analysis component 320 can utilize a dynamically fluctuating threshold, wherein the threshold is set based on factors such as, for example, contemporaneous network throughput to mail server 110, performance indications received from mail server 110, external parameters supplied by a system and/or network administrator, the relative rate at which disparate other messages associated with disparate other mail servers are being received, etc.
It is to be understood that artificial intelligent component 410 can provide for reasoning about or infer states of the system, environment, and/or user from a set of observations as captured via events and/or data. Inference can be employed to identify a specific context or action, or can generate a probability distribution over states, for example. The inference can be probabilistic—that is, the computation of a probability distribution over states of interest based on a consideration of data and events. Inference can also refer to techniques employed for composing higher-level events from a set of events and/or data. Such inference results in the construction of new events or actions from a set of observed events and/or stored event data, whether or not the events are correlated in close temporal proximity, and whether the events and data come from one or several event and data sources. Various classification (explicitly and/or implicitly trained) schemes and/or systems (e.g., support vector machines, neural networks, expert systems, Bayesian belief networks, fuzzy logic, data fusion engines . . . ) can be employed in connection with performing automatic and/or inferred action in connection with the claimed subject matter.
A classifier is a function that maps an input attribute vector, x=(x1, x2, x3, x4, xn), to a confidence that the input belongs to a class, that is, f(x)=confidence(class). Such classification can employ a probabilistic and/or statistical-based analysis (e.g., factoring into the analysis utilities and costs) to prognose or infer an action that a user desires to be automatically performed. A support vector machine (SVM) is an example of a classifier that can be employed. The SVM operates by finding a hypersurface in the space of possible inputs, which hypersurface attempts to split the triggering criteria from the non-triggering events. Intuitively, this makes the classification correct for testing data that is near, but not identical to training data. Other directed and undirected model classification approaches include, e.g., na�ve Bayes, Bayesian networks, decision trees, neural networks, fuzzy logic models, and probabilistic classification models providing different patterns of independence can be employed. Classification as used herein also is inclusive of statistical regression that is utilized to develop models of priority.
In view of the exemplary systems shown and described supra, methodologies that may be implemented in accordance with the disclosed subject matter will be better appreciated with reference to the flow charts of
The claimed subject matter can be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, executed by one or more components. Generally, program modules can include routines, programs, objects, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Typically the functionality of the program modules may be combined and/or distributed as desired in various aspects.
Further as depicted in
Further, network device 710 can also be in operative communication with a first individual mail server 730 1, through a Tth loyalty program server 730 T, T being an integer greater than or equal to one. The first individual mail server 730 1 through a Tth loyalty program server 730 T can be collectively referred to as individual mail servers 730. Individual mail servers 730 while typically substantial and suited to the email requirements of many conventional enterprises (e.g., commercial, educational, institutional, governmental, etc.) will nevertheless be several orders of magnitude less powerful than loyalty program servers 720; loyalty program servers 720 sole and defining task being to disseminate as many messages as possible in the shortest time possible.
Thus, when loyalty program servers 720 are in full operation many hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of email messages can rapidly be transmitted with the effect that without throttling component 120 directing network device 710 to regulate the flow of incoming messages, mail server 110 can become too overwhelmed to be able to process incoming and outgoing messages resulting in mail server 110 sending out transient error messages stating in effect that mail server 110 is too busy to receive incoming messages and requesting that the remote mail server retransmit the message at a later time. This transient error message is sent to all remote mail servers irrespective as to whether or not a particular remote mail server is the cause of the transient error message. Consequently, individual mail servers 730 that typically are incapable on their own of instigating a transient error message to be raised are unduly penalized in that individual mail servers 730 are unable to get their messages to mail server 110 during the period in which mail server 110 is sending out transient error messages. Thus, by employing throttling component 120 in concert with network device 710 messages from individual mail servers 730 will be allowed to get to mail server 110 without let or hindrance (e.g., without any diminution of speed) while bulk or batch messages emanating from loyalty program servers 720 will eventually get through to mail server 110 and their ultimate destination but at a rate that obviates the necessity of mail server 110 to have to raise a transient error message.
The claimed subject matter can be implemented via object oriented programming techniques. For example, each component of the system can be an object in a software routine or a component within an object. Object oriented programming shifts the emphasis of software development away from function decomposition and towards the recognition of units of software called "objects" which encapsulate both data and functions. Object Oriented Programming (OOP) objects are software entities comprising data structures and operations on data. Together, these elements enable objects to model virtually any real-world entity in terms of its characteristics, represented by its data elements, and its behavior represented by its data manipulation functions. In this way, objects can model concrete things like people and computers, and they can model abstract concepts like numbers or geometrical concepts.
The benefit of object technology arises out of three basic principles: encapsulation, polymorphism and inheritance. Objects hide or encapsulate the internal structure of their data and the algorithms by which their functions work. Instead of exposing these implementation details, objects present interfaces that represent their abstractions cleanly with no extraneous information. Polymorphism takes encapsulation one-step further—the idea being many shapes, one interface. A software component can make a request of another component without knowing exactly what that component is. The component that receives the request interprets it and figures out according to its variables and data how to execute the request. The third principle is inheritance, which allows developers to reuse pre-existing design and code. This capability allows developers to avoid creating software from scratch. Rather, through inheritance, developers derive subclasses that inherit behaviors that the developer then customizes to meet particular needs.
In particular, an object includes, and is characterized by, a set of data (e.g., attributes) and a set of operations (e.g. methods), that can operate on the data. Generally, an object's data is ideally changed only through the operation of the object's methods. Methods in an object are invoked by passing a message to the object (e.g., message passing). The message specifies a method name and an argument list. When the object receives the message, code associated with the named method is executed with the formal parameters of the method bound to the corresponding values in the argument list. Methods and message passing in OOP are analogous to procedures and procedure calls in procedure-oriented software environments.
However, while procedures operate to modify and return passed parameters, methods operate to modify the internal state of the associated objects (by modifying the data contained therein). The combination of data and methods in objects is called encapsulation. Encapsulation provides for the state of an object to only be changed by well-defined methods associated with the object. When the behavior of an object is confined to such well-defined locations and interfaces, changes (e.g., code modifications) in the object will have minimal impact on the other objects and elements in the system.
Each object is an instance of some class. A class includes a set of data attributes plus a set of allowable operations (e.g., methods) on the data attributes. As mentioned above, OOP supports inheritance—a class (called a subclass) may be derived from another class (called a base class, parent class, etc.), where the subclass inherits the data attributes and methods of the base class. The subclass may specialize the base class by adding code which overrides the data and/or methods of the base class, or which adds new data attributes and methods. Thus, inheritance represents a mechanism by which abstractions are made increasingly concrete as subclasses are created for greater levels of specialization.
As used in this application, the terms "component" and "system" 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 can be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, a hard disk drive, multiple storage drives (of optical and/or magnetic storage medium), 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 can reside within a process and/or thread of execution, and a component can be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
Artificial intelligence based systems (e.g., explicitly and/or implicitly trained classifiers) can be employed in connection with performing inference and/or probabilistic determinations and/or statistical-based determinations as in accordance with one or more aspects of the claimed subject matter as described hereinafter. As used herein, the term "inference," "infer" or variations in form thereof refers generally to the process of reasoning about or inferring states of the system, environment, and/or user from a set of observations as captured via events and/or data. Inference can be employed to identify a specific context or action, or can generate a probability distribution over states, for example. The inference can be probabilistic—that is, the computation of a probability distribution over states of interest based on a consideration of data and events. Inference can also refer to techniques employed for composing higher-level events from a set of events and/or data. Such inference results in the construction of new events or actions from a set of observed events and/or stored event data, whether or not the events are correlated in close temporal proximity, and whether the events and data come from one or several event and data sources. Various classification schemes and/or systems (e.g., support vector machines, neural networks, expert systems, Bayesian belief networks, fuzzy logic, data fusion engines . . . ) can be employed in connection with performing automatic and/or inferred action in connection with the claimed subject matter.
Furthermore, all or portions of the claimed subject matter may be implemented as a system, method, apparatus, or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware or any combination thereof to control a computer to implement the disclosed subject matter. The term "article of manufacture" as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device or media. For example, computer readable media can include but are not limited to magnetic storage devices (e.g., hard disk, floppy disk, magnetic strips . . . ), optical disks (e.g., compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) . . . ), smart cards, and flash memory devices (e.g., card, stick, key drive . . . ). Additionally it should be appreciated that a carrier wave can be employed to carry computer-readable electronic data such as those used in transmitting and receiving electronic mail or in accessing a network such as the Internet or a local area network (LAN). Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope or spirit of the claimed subject matter.
Some portions of the detailed description have been presented in terms of algorithms and/or symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and/or representations are the means employed by those cognizant in the art to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others equally skilled. An algorithm is here, generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of acts leading to a desired result. The acts are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Typically, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical and/or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and/or otherwise manipulated.
It has proven convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like. It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the foregoing discussion, it is appreciated that throughout the disclosed subject matter, discussions utilizing terms such as processing, computing, calculating, determining, and/or displaying, and the like, refer to the action and processes of computer systems, and/or similar consumer and/or industrial electronic devices and/or machines, that manipulate and/or transform data represented as physical (electrical and/or electronic) quantities within the computer's and/or machine's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the machine and/or computer system memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission and/or display devices.
Referring now to
Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc., that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the inventive methods can be practiced with other computer system configurations, including single-processor or multiprocessor computer systems, minicomputers, mainframe computers, as well as personal computers, hand-held computing devices, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, and the like, each of which can be operatively coupled to one or more associated devices.
The illustrated aspects of the claimed subject matter may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where certain tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules can be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
A computer typically includes a variety of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer and includes both volatile and non-volatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media can comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital video disk (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by the computer.
With reference again to
The system bus 808 can be any of several types of bus structure that may further interconnect to a memory bus (with or without a memory controller), a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of commercially available bus architectures. The system memory 806 includes read-only memory (ROM) 810 and random access memory (RAM) 812. A basic input/output system (BIOS) is stored in a non-volatile memory 810 such as ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, which BIOS contains the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 802, such as during start-up. The RAM 812 can also include a high-speed RAM such as static RAM for caching data.
The computer 802 further includes an internal hard disk drive (HDD) 814 (e.g. EIDE, SATA), which internal hard disk drive 814 may also be configured for external use in a suitable chassis (not shown), a magnetic floppy disk drive (FDD) 816, (e.g., to read from or write to a removable diskette 818) and an optical disk drive 820, (e.g., reading a CD-ROM disk 822 or, to read from or write to other high capacity optical media such as the DVD). The hard disk drive 814, magnetic disk drive 816 and optical disk drive 820 can be connected to the system bus 808 by a hard disk drive interface 824, a magnetic disk drive interface 826 and an optical drive interface 828, respectively. The interface 824 for external drive implementations includes at least one or both of Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394 interface technologies. Other external drive connection technologies are within contemplation of the claimed subject matter.
The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of data, data structures, computer-executable instructions, and so forth. For the computer 802, the drives and media accommodate the storage of any data in a suitable digital format. Although the description of computer-readable media above refers to a HDD, a removable magnetic diskette, and a removable optical media such as a CD or DVD, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of media which are readable by a computer, such as zip drives, magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, cartridges, and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment, and further, that any such media may contain computer-executable instructions for performing the methods of the disclosed and claimed subject matter.
A number of program modules can be stored in the drives and RAM 812, including an operating system 830, one or more application programs 832, other program modules 834 and program data 836. All or portions of the operating system, applications, modules, and/or data can also be cached in the RAM 812. It is to be appreciated that the claimed subject matter can be implemented with various commercially available operating systems or combinations of operating systems.
A user can enter commands and information into the computer 802 through one or more wired/wireless input devices, e.g. a keyboard 838 and a pointing device, such as a mouse 840. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, an IR remote control, a joystick, a game pad, a stylus pen, touch screen, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 804 through an input device interface 842 that is coupled to the system bus 808, but can be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, an IEEE 1394 serial port, a game port, a USB port, an IR interface, etc.
A monitor 844 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 808 via an interface, such as a video adapter 846. In addition to the monitor 844, a computer typically includes other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers, printers, etc.
The computer 802 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections via wired and/or wireless communications to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer(s) 848. The remote computer(s) 848 can be a workstation, a server computer, a router, a personal computer, portable computer, microprocessor-based entertainment appliance, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to the computer 802, although, for purposes of brevity, only a memory/storage device 850 is illustrated. The logical connections depicted include wired/wireless connectivity to a local area network (LAN) 852 and/or larger networks, e.g., a wide area network (WAN) 854. Such LAN and WAN networking environments are commonplace in offices and companies, and facilitate enterprise-wide computer networks, such as intranets, all of which may connect to a global communications network, e.g., the Internet.
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 802 is connected to the local network 852 through a wired and/or wireless communication network interface or adapter 856. The adaptor 856 may facilitate wired or wireless communication to the LAN 852, which may also include a wireless access point disposed thereon for communicating with the wireless adaptor 856.
When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 802 can include a modem 858, or is connected to a communications server on the WAN 854, or has other means for establishing communications over the WAN 854, such as by way of the Internet. The modem 858, which can be internal or external and a wired or wireless device, is connected to the system bus 808 via the serial port interface 842. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 802, or portions thereof, can be stored in the remote memory/storage device 850. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers can be used.
The computer 802 is operable to communicate with any wireless devices or entities operatively disposed in wireless communication, e.g., a printer, scanner, desktop and/or portable computer, portable data assistant, communications satellite, any piece of equipment or location associated with a wirelessly detectable tag (e.g., a kiosk, news stand, restroom), and telephone. This includes at least Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™ wireless technologies. Thus, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply an ad hoc communication between at least two devices.
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, allows connection to the Internet from a couch at home, a bed in a hotel room, or a conference room at work, without wires. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology similar to that used in a cell phone that enables such devices, e.g., computers, to send and receive data indoors and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE 802.11x (a, b, g, etc.) to provide secure, reliable, fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each other, to the Internet, and to wired networks (which use IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet).
Wi-Fi networks can operate in the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands. IEEE 802.11 applies to generally to wireless LANs and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS). IEEE 802.11a is an extension to IEEE 802.11 that applies to wireless LANs and provides up to 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz band. IEEE 802.11a uses an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) encoding scheme rather than FHSS or DSSS. IEEE 802.11b (also referred to as 802.11 High Rate DSSS or Wi-Fi) is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANs and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. IEEE 802.11g applies to wireless LANs and provides 20+Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Products can contain more than one band (e.g., dual band), so the networks can provide real-world performance similar to the basic 10BaseT wired Ethernet networks used in many offices.
Referring now to
The system 900 also includes one or more server(s) 904. The server(s) 904 can also be hardware and/or software (e.g. threads, processes, computing devices). The servers 904 can house threads to perform transformations by employing the claimed subject matter, for example. One possible communication between a client 902 and a server 904 can be in the form of a data packet adapted to be transmitted between two or more computer processes. The data packet may include a cookie and/or associated contextual information, for example. The system 900 includes a communication framework 906 (e.g., a global communication network such as the Internet) that can be employed to facilitate communications between the client(s) 902 and the server(s) 904.
Communications can be facilitated via a wired (including optical fiber) and/or wireless technology.

Best Place to Catch a House Show (2009)
The Tribe House
The rarity of live-music shows taking place in Valley homes isn't so much about a lack of interest as it is a by-product of our desert ecology. You see, the impenetrable Sonoran Desert prevents many dwellings from boasting a basement, so noise from amplified bands tends to leak into neighbors' bedrooms and, we imagine, peeve the neighborhood. That's why The Tribe House is so special: There's a friggin' basement, which showcases a wide range of hip-hop, singer-songwriters, noise ensembles, and local grindcore. Though the home's forever-rotating core of residents books some talented groups, they aren't too on-the-ball with publicizing the last-minute, donation-based concerts, so check area coffee shops for fliers or MySpace/Facebook for event postings.

How to standardize package design without killing creativity
A well-designed packaging program and a style guide that supports its standardization are necessities, not luxuries.
Hummus packaging propels Sabra's growth
Harkening from humble beginnings in Queens, NY, in 1986, where it provided hummus and other Mediterranean foods to a niche market of kosher consumers, Sabra Dipping Company, LLC today boasts more than a 55% share of the North American hummus market.
'Farm-to-fork': It's the foodie buzz term of recent years, the hip culinary expression on everyone's lips. New restaurants boasting farm-fresh ingredients are popping up in neighborhoods all over the country, greenmarkets are hotter than ever, and farm-to-fork ambassadors like chefs Dan Barber of Blue Hill, British sensation Jamie Oliver, and Alice Waters of Chez Panisse have become bona fide celebrities.
And now, this movement is starting to infiltrate the mass market.
It's no surprise. With E. coli outbreaks happening every few months (it seems) and books like The Omnivore's Dilemma making people fearful of what they put in their bodies, today's consumers want to know exactly where their food comes from. Farm-to-fork delivers on that need. It is defined as "food that has come to your table from a specific farm," and more often than not, these are greenmarket-bought fruits, vegetables, and meats that come from farms within a certain distance from one's home.
Sure, it seems that consumer packaged goods would be the antithesis of farm-to-fork, but the truth is that certain CPG brands—such as Land O'Lakes and Ocean Spray—have been offering farm-fresh products for years. Now other brands, many with the word "farm" in their names, are pinpointing a need in the market to not only use the highest-quality, farm-fresh ingredients, but also to provide consumers with information about the origins of those ingredients.
There are a few different ways that companies are interpreting farm-to-fork for the mass audience. Some brands, like Green Giant, focus on the farm-fresh aspect, while others, like Cabot Creamery dairy products from Vermont, focus on local. Kashi—whose tagline is "seven whole grains on a mission"—is all about sourcing authentic ingredients from around the world. Häagen-Daz' Five ice cream brands and Yoplait's Simplait yogurt are stripping down the ingredients to the bare essentials.
A lot of brands have been conveying the "farm-to-fork/local/sourced/simple ingredients" aspects of their offerings through advertising, but how are they communicating the fresh, farm-to-fork aspect of their offerings through their packaging? For starters, they're making it more premium. Consumers seem to be willing to pay a bit more for the quality aspect of farm-to-fork offerings, and the upscale design of these products reflects this. Quite simply, the products cost more because people are willing to pay more. But there are many more ways that brands can capitalize on this trend to try and seize some of the $860 million worth of unmet demand for farm-fresh products (according to Farm2Table Co-Packers, a company in upstate New York).
Read the full article
A well-designed packaging program and a style guide that supports its standardization are necessities, not luxuries. They can and should ensure that a cohesive package design system is put in place for a brand to avoid consumer confusion. Creativity is great, but it has to be harnessed and directed, otherwise one-off package designs may end up being developed that do not refer back to the brand.
Think about how many consumer products appear in any given category; how can one brand stand out among many? Then think of the wide range of consumer product categories in which a single licensed property might be leveraged. Without a standardized packaging program, all kinds of package solutions might appear, all unrelated to the brand and to each other. How would the package look if merchandised within a shelf set or within the appropriate departments in retail stores by category? Like a jumble of unrelated products? No brand recognition results in no purchases. This simply isn't an effective way to fully develop a brand—licensed property or not.
Fortunately, most brand owners know this. They have standardized packaging style guides in place. But even that might not go far enough. No, this isn't an argument for making the guidelines more rigid; rather it is the opposite. Too rigid a style guide doesn't allow for enough flexibility for brand expansion into new categories that might require very different package structures, and it may not allow licensees to properly market their products. Not every product's benefits and features are clearly delivered with a simple callout. Some may need a series of visuals to convey how a product works or how it's used, a strategically placed "try me," or more space for brand communication.
Harkening from humble beginnings in Queens, NY, in 1986, where it provided hummus and other Mediterranean foods to a niche market of kosher consumers, Sabra Dipping Company, LLC today boasts more than a 55% share of the North American hummus market—making it the largest manufacturer of hummus in the world. In 2011, the company grew 30%; earlier this year, it was on-track to see 20% growth for 2012
In 2010, Sabra—now jointly owned by Israeli food company Strauss Group and PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division—opened a $61 million plant in Colonial Heights, VA, designed to keep up with the current and future growth of the brand. A visit from Packaging World to the new plant to learn of the facility's state-of-the-art packaging capabilities, however, yielded this response from Meiky Tollman, chief of operations for Sabra: "There are some unique things about our packaging equipment, yes. But the real story of our success is the packaging itself. With our packaging, we have made a revolution."
Thus, Tollman related the story of how Sabra took its niche-market product from a local community of consumers to distribution in more than 40,000 retail stores across North America. "This is the power of the package," he says.
For its new Dr. Scholl's Active Series line of insoles for high-performance athletes, Merck worked with brand strategy and design consultancy Product Ventures to harmonize the product, package, and POP display. With the bulk of its retail insole products designed around comfort and pain relief, Merck looked to Product Ventures to bring the brand into the performance world with unique aesthetics for its Active Series. Product Ventures graphics and structural teams worked holistically in designing the athletic-inspired insole, the packaging, and the displays to convey high performance, movement, and modernity. The insole itself is engineered for Triple Zone Protection, targeting three areas of the foot with specific advantages. For each zone, Product Ventures created a different texture and color, inspired by current athletic trends and footwear styles. The primary package is a clear PET folding carton, with a pinch-waisted contour. The carton is screen-printed with a grey dot pattern, which is repeated in the texture of the arch, for continuity between the product and package.
When tasked recently with redesigning the brand identity, tone of voice, and graphic design for four varieties of Simply Sausages gourmet British pork sausages from U.K. food supplier Cranswick plc, design agency Pearlfisher sought to connect consumers' current desire for authenticity with the brand's colorful heritage. The 20-year-old Simply Sausages line was created by "sausage guru" and executive chef Martin Heap, known for his open, warm, and eccentric character and his lively, tradition-rich gourmet sausage shop, Heap's, of Greenwich Village, London. New graphics for the packaging—a thermoformed tray with a film lid, decorated with a paperboard sleeve—include a woodcut-style illustration on the sleeve, reflecting the authenticity, craft, and heritage of the brand. For each of the three varieties, a quirky element has been added, depicting an amusing or eccentric character that represents each variant. For example, Lethal Lucifer no. 666 shows a devil, and The Meaty Italian Job no. 14, an Italian waiter.
Building on the existing brand equity of Western Canadian bathroom tissue category leader Purex, design agency Shikatani Lacroix has brought the product's packaging graphics into full bloom, creating a dynamic and contemporary look via some skillful pruning and nurturing. Among the changes made to the existing graphics on the film wrapper for three varieties of bathroom tissue, the design has been simplified, making key callouts easier to read. An updated Purex logo is outlined in a bright blue, bringing attention to the brand name, with the logo centralized to command more attention. An enlarged flower graphic positioned behind the logo enhances the brand name as the focal point. In addition, the wordmark and flower are anchored in a wave backdrop outlined by a band of color, creating a dynamic and contemporary look.

Sept 26 55
Mr. M. David Samples, Director
Bath Anniversary Celebration
117 Pierce St
Washington, N.C.
Dear Mr. Samples:
Thank you for your letter of the 24th, which enclosed script. I shall be present the day before - Monday the 3rd and read for rehearsal on the 4th - and the book party at Small's Book Store, on the third. We will arrive shortly after noon, complete with costume, with the exception of tiara.
I have taken the liberty of making some change in the script, to give more historical background. I hope you will not mind. It will take no longer than the script you sent me.
Queen Anne was a heavy, rather stupid person, who would not make a move, political or otherwise without Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough to advise her. I have introduced Sarah in the scene to give the Queen a reason for thinking of the bell, as a gift for the Town of Bath (for one reason the Queen would never receive her Minister alone - and to help dress the stage.) The part can be played by nay of your actresses in costume. It does not matter whether the part is on the printed program. I think it will enliven the scene, and give a reason for Ann thinking about the bell.
I will go over the scene with Grayson Harding this afternoon. And will have plenty of time on Monday to go over the scene with whomever you select for the Duchess of Marlborough.
I hope you will not take this as too much temerity on my part, as you go over the script, agree that the changes enliven the scene.
Very cordially yours
Inglis Fletcher
cc Mr. Edmund Harding

I've got this feeling like I want to dance in falling ash. I want to revel in the rotting softness of it against my skin, in the morbid beauty of death. I want to lie down and make an angel in the remains of a once great city. I want to be alone in the ruins. I want to run through abandoned streets I own because no one else will have them. I want a broken place to hang my head and hide a smile because I know, eventually, the whole world will come to this.
The Hollow City by TohroeWatch

but i wouldn't want to stay cuz id miss the internet and stuff
Yes, I expect after the romantic few hours of running around in ash, kicking down walls and just loving it, I'd want a shower, a warm bed, and my laptop.

As an inventory department manager I would suggest that the policies of the company to protect the inventory data are not sufficient enough. These practices are critical for the protection of inventory data and required regular auditing on the part of management or by a separate audit team.
The company has not created the policy by keeping in mind its requirements. The company has created a general policy for data protection, which is somewhat useful but will unable to secure the required data. Company should perform some simulation exercises and all procedures for dealing with such contingencies should be tested regularly. In present policy, company has increased the retention period of data without proper analysis of the upcoming situations.
The storage and data retrieval capacity of the systems should also be considered before drafting any policy. The cost-benefit analysis should also be performed before implementing the policy. Company should also analyze the various methods of data backup namely full backup or partial backup and restore. The merits and demerits of full, incremental and differential backups should also be considered. So, these are some aspects which would help the company in making a better backup policy. At last, Conformity with downtime controls and recovery controls should be checked regularly.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Sid should send 91 a "Been there. Sucks to be the obvious best player on your emerging playoff team" fruit basket. And some ice packs. There was so much that went right last night for the Penguins that this post could focus on just about anything, but it feels good to be on the giving end of a seek-and-destroy strategy. The Pens registered 36 hits. I lost track of how many of those were on John Tavares, but it was enough to be a constant physical presence that prevented him from even getting a shot on goal last night. As Tavares' success goes, so goes the success of the Islanders. There is the fact that Fleury played very well last night, but the vast majority of the Islanders' 25 shots on goal weren't exactly quality chances coming from the disheveled Islanders offense. His rebound control continues to impress me, but I digress… The "make a dent" part of the Pens' strategy forces the Islanders to shift their focus from scoring to protecting. Protecting often means retaliating. Reta...

Sughran Bashir Ahmad's Group
Sughran has applied for a loan from Kiva partner, Asasah, for her sons' cobbler business. With this loan, they will buy raw materials such as leather, nails and shoe polish in large quantities, which will help them to finish larger orders on time and make more income.
Sughran is hopeful that this loan investment will help her sons in growing their business and increasing their earnings. She is a regular loan user of Kiva partner, Asasah, and this is her fourth loan application. In previous loan years, she has maintained good credit behavior and attended every meeting.
Note: In the photo, the lady who has holds a book (called the Asasah passbook) in her hands is Sughran.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

*****, Conway Agree To Terms
Thursday, May 27, 2004
After days of speculation, the San Francisco ***** have announced they have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with wide receiver Curtis Conway.
We are pleased to announce the addition of Curtis Conway to our receiving corps, General Manager Terry Donahue said. Curtis brings a lot of experience to our squad. He has been productive at every stop in his career. We are happy to have him.
Conway, an 11-year veteran, has started 139-of-151 games in his career. The 6-1, 196-pounder was a first-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 1993.
Known for his speed and big-play ability, Conway has caught 556 passes for 7,827 yards and 49 touchdowns in his career. He has an impressive 14.1 average per reception and has had three 1,000-yard receiving seasons in his career. Conway has also played for the San Diego Chargers and New York Jets.
Curtis brings 11 years of experience to our team, Head Coach Dennis Erickson said. He has been a successful starter in the league. Curtis will help us on and off the field, as a player and as a mentor to our young receivers.
I'm not exactly sure if I would even consider this an addition for the Whiners although the article (taken from the Whiners website) sure makes Conway sound a lot better than he actually is.
Here's hoping for a season-long Peterson holdout as well.

Personal Statement
I only care for those with breast cancer. Within breast cancer my major interest is in metastatic disease or high risk adjuvant. The reason for this is that I am involved in many new therapies to treat existing breast cancer as well as strategies to reduce the risk of relapse of breast cancer that has not recurred.
Another research interest of mine is to understand and hopefully impact the development of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.

Linda T. Vahdat, MD, MBA, is a Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College as well as an Attending Physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. She is currently the Director of the Breast Cancer Research Program, at Weill Cornell Medicine and Co-Leader of the Breast Cancer Program within the Meyer Cancer Center. Until recently, she led the Solid Tumor Service at Weill Cornell, stepping down in 2015 to focus more on breast cancer-related activities.
Dr. Vahdat earned her undergraduate degree at Barnard College/Columbia University in New York City and completed her medical degree at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She remained at Mount Sinai for her residency training in Internal Medicine and completed fellowship training in Medical Oncology and Hematology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). In 2014, Dr. Vahdat completed a master's degree in business administration (MBA) at the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She found it to be a perfect complement to her research activities since the program focused on management, operations, entrepreneurship and data analytics.
Although a translational breast cancer medical oncologist by training, Dr. Vahdat's expertise is in drug development. She has been involved in the identification, conceptualization, design and execution of Phase 0 through III clinical trials of new therapies in high-risk adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer patients since 1994. She has led two separate drug development efforts that led to the FDA approval of two leading drugs to fight metastatic breast cancer, and her team has taken the lead for at least two other drugs that have a high probability of success, both in triple negative breast cancer. In 2014, she founded the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Clinic -- one of only two dedicated clinics in the U.S. Dr. Vahdat's other significant research interests include preventing breast cancer metastases and minimizing side effects of treatment, including chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. She is motivated to integrate new technology into translational medicine and has a number of collaborations both at Cornell Biogengineering and at MIT that she hopes will change how we view and treat cancer. She has also been actively involved and has held several leadership positions in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), including Co-Chair of ASCO Breast Cancer Symposium. Dr. Vahdat also served on the Executive Board of Cancer Care from 2006 until 2012.

Via Valleywag and The Guardian, Iran is upset with Google over ranking a Google Video too high in the Google results. The video titled Tabriz – Azerbaijan describes that the ancient city Tabriz is located in Southern Azerbaijan, suggestion it shouldn't be part of Iran. A Google search on [tabriz azerbaijan] shows the Google Video as (currently) number one with a snippet that reads; "This video shows Tabriz, a city in Southern Azerbaijan, currently in the territory of Iran." A search for [tabriz] shows this result at the bottom of the first page or top of second page. Iran is upset with Google over this and feels that it is a US centric method of undermining Iran.
Postscript From Danny: To be really clear about how absurd this is,
it's not Google directly suggesting that Tabriz is not somehow part of Iran.
It's a description in a video that someone uploaded to Google Video. Where does
Google itself think Tabriz is
located at? According to Google Maps — which Google runs directly —
firmly within the boundaries of the country of Iran.
