The Changing Face of the Low-Wage Labor Market
October 23, 2014
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D.
Over the last three decades along with the various structural changes that have taken place in the economy, we can say that the face of the low-wage labor market has also changed. It used to be that the low-wage labor market characterized by unskilled labor as perhaps reflected by the percentage of high-school dropouts was extremely high.
Low-Wage Workers and the "New" Industrial Reserve Army of Labor
October 17, 2014
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman
The standard minimum wage model that predicts that increases in the minimum wage will result in lower employment rests on the assumption that workers are nothing more than factors of production. As factors of production, they are simply inanimate objects that are easily interchangeable, either with other similar inanimate objects or more technologically advanced ones.
The Minimum Wage and the New Federalism?
September 26, 2014
Oren M. Levin-Waldman
Among the topics that often rise to the top of the debate in most national elections is just what the proper relationship is between the states and the national government. In other words, has federal authority usurped state sovereignty, or is more federal authority needed because the states are untrustworthy guardians of individuals' rights? It would appear that the many states that have taken it upon themselves to either adopt their own minimum wages or raise existing ones over the federal have only rekindled the traditional states' rights v. national authority debate, albeit it in a different form.
The Meaning of Markets
July 25, 2014
Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D.
Those who oppose regulations of any type, including mandates to pay workers a specified minimum wage, often invoke the language of free markets. In a market economy, the argument goes, individuals should be free to enter into transactions, whether it be for the purchase of goods and services or labor services.
Why the Minimum Wage is Important
July 9, 2014
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman
Amidst the debate over whether the minimum wage really helps those at the bottom or whether it causes more unemployment, we often lose sight of why it was needed in the first place. Today the debate over the minimum wage has become a side show between those who argue that it results in disemployment and those who argue that it benefits the poor.
Sources of Wage Inequality?
June 20, 2014
Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D.
The conventional explanation for growing wage inequality is often referred to as the skills-biased towards technical change theory. This holds that with globalization and increased capital mobility, the economy has changed from industrial production to a post-industrial service based economy. The former did not need a greatly skilled workforce, but the latter, being technologically more advanced, did require much greater skill.
The Minimum Wage and those Inconvenient Facts
April 3, 2014
By Oren Levin-Waldman, Ph.D.
Critics of the minimum wage often assert that not only is it misguided because of its adverse employment effects, but it is poorly targeted because most minimum wage earners are not poor. Rather they are secondary earners who are either spouses or teenagers. And those who scoff at claims of income inequality maintain that those at the bottom lack the skills necessary to command higher wages in an economy ever more biased towards advanced technology and skills. But these claims are really half-truths that miss some inconvenient facts.
"The Social Costs of Paying Low Wages"
March 5, 2014
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D.
The recent release of the Congressional Budget Office's report that an increase in the minimum wage could lead to a loss of as much as one million jobs by 2016 has created quite a stir. Those on the right hailed it as proof that an increase in the minimum wage is a bad idea precisely because we are still plagued by long-term unemployment. Meanwhile, those on left hailed the report as a vindication that the minimum wage would result in at least 16 million Americans getting a raise, which in turn would benefit the economy through increased spending.
Rising Income Inequality, the Minimum Wage, and the Median Voter Theorem
February 19, 2014
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D.
Rising income inequality, of course, is problematic because it symbolizes the dual nature of our economy and the shrinking middle class. It is also dangerous to democracy because it tilts the power balance in policy formulation towards the interests of the wealthy away from the poor and the middle class. What is often not talked about is the relationship between rising income inequality, increased pressure for redistribution, and in the extreme revolution.
"Minimum Wage Critics' Hypocritical Obsession with Unemployment"
January 27, 2014
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D.
Since the beginning of the New Year, a couple of states have raised their minimum wages and President Obama plans to call for an increase to $10.10 an hour. Additionally, the Democratic Party plans to incorporate the minimum wage into its 2014 midterm election platform. Of course, the critics are already out with the standard bromides that it will lead to lower employment, and that it is particularly a bad idea in a weak economy. And yet, when the Fed announces an action that could also lead to unemployment, all of a sudden there is silence.
Why Inequality Matters
January 14, 2014
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D.
During the recent mayoral race in New York City, Mayor Elect DeBlasio made an issue out of income inequality. For market purists, this is no doubt a red herring used to justify redistribution. A free market where individuals enjoy equal opportunity means that they can make their own choices. As such, those who end up with more obviously made the right choices. Moreover, they worked hard for whatever they acquired.
What Can we Learn from Long-Term Unemployment in the New York City Metro Area?
November 20, 2013
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman
Among the problems that we as a nation have been grappling with since the end of the Great Recession, which ended in 2009, is the persistence of unemployment, or more specifically long-term unemployment. It has been commonplace to assume that long-term unemployment is due to structural change which has resulted in a skills mismatch.
Workers' Labor Needs to be Defined More in Terms of Property Rather than Commodities
July 15, 2013
By Prof. Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D. Graduate School for Public Affairs and Administration Metropolitan
When states pass right-to-work laws, they claim that they are creating working conditions conducive to choice. Workers can choose to join a union or not, but because these laws effectively bar closed shops workers are no longer coerced to join unions. Opponents of these laws point out the obvious: because unionization efforts have been made more difficult, the power of unions is diminished, and so too are the legitimate rights of workers.
Free Markets and the Re-employment Charade
July 4, 2013
By Prof. Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Ph.D. Graduate School for Public Affairs and Administration Metropolitan College of New York
Virtually all ends of the political spectrum appear to agree on one thing, which is that more should be done to get people back to work. Although the economy is said to be on the mend, unemployment is still 7.6 percent, which really says nothing about the actual jobless number. Conservatives and Republicans argue that government should get out of the way so that the full force of the market place can be unleashed and job be created.
"The Meaning of Having a Good Job"
June 19, 2013
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman
For a long time now, we have heard talk about creating "good" jobs, with manufacturing being at the top of the good jobs list. It almost implies that service sector jobs — the primary replacement for disappearing manufacturing jobs in a post-industrial economy — are really bad jobs. Well, if the definition of a good job is one that pays a solid middle class wage that allows one to live in dignity, this is probably true.
Job Creation Through Wage Policy
June 3, 2013
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman
The official unemployment rate is still around 7.5 percent, although the actual jobless rate (those who simply gave up and dropped out of the job market is considerably higher. It is curious that as the official rate has fallen, we hear less about the need for policy to address the slow economy. And yet, one problem that appears to persist is that of long-term unemployment. There are a couple schools of thought as to the source of long-term unemployment.
We All Suffer from the Absence of a Strong Labor Movement
May 23, 2013
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman
Several years ago, one of the biggest events in labor history occurred when the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the Teamsters decided it was time to withdraw from the AFL-CIO and form a new council. Others, like the United Food and Commercial Workers, UNITE HERE, United Farm Workers, and the Carpenters only followed. It then came as no surprise that The Laborers' Union representing over 700,000 in the construction industry also followed suit and joined the same coalition as the others: Change to Win where the focus would be on organizing new workers.
Raising the Minimum Wage is a Way to Help the Middle Class
March 5, 2013
By Oren M. Levin-Waldman
Not everyone will agree that President Obama's proposal to raise the minimum wage is the best approach for assisting the middle class. The standard arguments against raising the minimum wage are that 1) increases in the minimum wage will lead to disemployment effects, especially among low-skilled workers; 2) most minimum wage earners are not primary earners, but secondary earners; and 3) very few people earn the statutory minimum wage that raising it is worth the likely reductions in employment. And yet, the data would seem to suggest otherwise.

Incredible kirtan done by Bhai Gurpreet Singh of Hazur Sahib has gone viral on social networks. The Shabad written by Kavi Santokh Singh praising Guru Gobind Singh Ji on how Guru Sahib saved the entire country from being engulfed by Islam.
Bhai Santokh Singh a very perceptive medieval poet has an apt comment on the situation prevailing at the time of the Gurus. 'paap hu parpak jaatai, dharma dhasak jaatai, varan garak jatai sahit bidhan ki, devi dev dehre Santokh Singh door hote katha mit jaatee reet bedan puran ki, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Pavan param shoor moorat na hoti jaupai kaurana-nidhaan ki'. (meaning: But for the infinitely kind intervention of Guru Gobind Singh, the bravest and the purest of warriors, Islam would have engulfed the entire subcontinent). The Two Islamic nations of Pakistan and Bangladesh are evidence that this would indeed have happened.
The forces of Hindutava and their ilk should be grateful to the Gurus and the Khalsa for having preserved the essential dignity of Hindustan.

Does your migraine headaches diet include eating "neutral" Macrobiotic diet foods? The macrobiotic community claims that their way of eating prevents migraines. Or is food is just one piece of the puzzle?
The Macrobiotic diet is not just what you eat,
it's HOW you eat,
how you chew,
how many times you chew, and
what you think about when you are chewing.
It's your awareness around eating and being all at the same time.
It is a way of life and continuous mindfulness of everything you come into contact with. I was macrobiotic for just over 10 years. For me this included daily yoga, walking outdoors, regular shiatsu massages and chanting twice a day.
The best thing I learned was to change what I eat and how I cook with the change in seasons. My macrobiotic migraine headaches diet have become a way of life.
"A balanced macrobiotic way of eating will help eliminate headaches and prevent their recurrence."
In Michio Kushi's book The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health he lists migraines as one of the four classifications of headaches. They are considered intensely debilitating headaches "deep inside the head or on one side of the head, usually accompanied by pin points of light, strange odors, or unusual sounds."
The Macrobiotic way of looking at things considers headaches to arise from dietary imbalances and assures us that:
a more "balanced macrobiotic way of eating will help eliminate headaches and prevent their recurrence."
Kushi says that the causes of headaches are primarily from eating extreme (Yin and Yang) foods and beverages. He gives little attention to stress or tension saying that increased stress rarely results in a headache arising. However, he does acknowledge that it might increase the pain levels already there.
No one feels the need to take
medications, at least not in his macrobiotic community. Breathe
in...and out...(that's me calming down and wishing it were that easy for me too).
So as he said, Migraines are considered headaches that are "deep inside the head" and this is considered to be from over consumption of meat, salt and fat. More specifically:
Animal protein that is high in protein and fat; salted meat; eggs; caviar; and salted fish.
Yin is expansive.
Think about how alcohol and coffee make you feel.
Yang is contractive.
Salt constricts blood vessels.
Now there is a whole range of Yin and Yang Macrobiotic diet foods, this chart above just provides the basics.
Yin – milk, butter, cream, yogurt, sugar, chocolate and honey to
Yang – beef, pork, lamb, cheese, eggs and salt. Just to name a few.
I will focus on the important Macrobiotic foods specific to the migraine headaches diet. There is a lot to learn, it is a completely different way of thinking about the food you eat. Just so you know.
You can eat everything neutral in moderation.
Please feel free to print these out for more detailed information that includes the change of seasons:
Food Chart in the Control Cycle and
1. Eat whole cereal grains at every meal – brown rice, barley, wheat, millet, and quinoa. During a headache do not eat buckwheat. Avoid baked flour products like bread, cookies, or crackers.
2. Avoid fried rice and fried noodles, fried foods in general.
3. Avoid over consumption of meat and salted meat. Avoid cooking with a lot of oil.
4. If you have Miso soup - try it half strength and have more broth. Too salty is not good.
5. Eat a large variety of fresh vegetables like pumpkin, carrot and Daikon, especially if you experience hypoglycemia – but avoid – potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, yams and avocados.
6. Avoid raw salad. Cooked food is best.
7. Allow fish once a week if desired, steaming or baking is preferred.
8. Eat beans and sea vegetables.
9. Avoid fruit - Cooked fruits are preferred to fresh or dried fruits. It is preferred to steam or stew fruits with a sprinkle of sea salt whilst cooking them. The salt brings out the sweetness.
10. Avoid nuts and sunflower seeds. Sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds are ok once in a while.
11. Avoid stimulants – coffee, alcohol, mint tea and peppermint tea (surprised?). Mint is considered a stimulant.
12. Have salt only in moderation, natural sea salt or Celtic salt is assumed.
13. Avoid midnight snacks – give digestion time to rest so your sleep re-energizes the organs.
14. Chew at least 50 times per mouthful and put your fork down while you chew.
If you are experiencing a migraine - Macrobiotic prevention suggests:
With the Macrobiotic migraine headaches diet foods are just one part of the puzzle. Massaging the migraine pressure point on your big toes on each foot all around the nail bed is said to reduce pain and help ward off an appending attack.
For more details on these different Chinese cure for migraine headache and migraine relief alternative therapies please click on the links.
Experts are now recommending that the best way to help prevent migraine attacks is to use a combination of traditional and alternative therapies.
Biofeedback training is the most widely used therapy now to reduce pain. These all work for me. Give one a try.
Heartmath emWave2 Stress Relief Biofeedback Training
Hmmm ... I'm sad to report not so good on the headache front. I was a strict Macrobiotic foodie for many years and it did not reduce the frequency or intensity of my migraines.
This does not mean it won't work for you, especially if your migraines are food related.
certainly made my body stronger and I found some very wonderful foods as
medicines which I am truly grateful for like Kuzu and Umeboshi plums.
Have you tried a macrobiotic food diet? Tell me below in the Facebook comments section, or submit it to migraine stories to share with other readers.
We learn from each other.
Until next time, be well and be pain free,

World number five and top seed Agnieszka Radwanska may have to wait another day to finish her first round match in the BMW Malaysian Open after rain again stopped play on Wednesday.
The Polish player, who won in Dubai last week, was leading Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan 6-2, 3-3 when rain interrupted play. The match had failed to get under way on Tuesday due to heavy rain and lightning.
Her likely quarter-final opponent is Taiwan's Su-Wei Hsieh, who beat Casey Dellacqua 6-1, 7-5.
Hsieh, who made it through from the qualifying round a day earlier, said she was a little surprised at the ease of her victory as she was suffering from jetlag after arriving in Malaysia from Dubai early Sunday.
"I didn't have much sleep the last two days and in fact took advantage of the three-hour rain delay to get some much needed rest," Hsieh said.
"My body still adjusting, and I'm just happy to get to the quarter-finals."
Dellacqua of Australia ranks 107th in the world, while Hsieh is 123rd in world rankings.
Also through to the next round is fifth seed Petra Martic, who overcame a three-hour rain delay before finally taming Kurumi Nara of Japan 6-2, 3-6, 6-0.
The $220,000 BMW Malaysian Open at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort will end on Sunday.

Voyeur : April 2009
? SUCCESS_ TEXT SPECIFIC RAISING :: HOW TO BAKE A BUSINESS By Julia Bickerstaff (Allen& Unwin, $24.95) The idea is simple enough – building a business is a lot like following a good recipe. You need to identify and gather your ingredients, prepare them, blend themtogether in the right way and use the utensils at the right time and in the right order. If you follow your recipe, you will bake something beautiful. Itmay sound very simplistic, but behind the basics lies some old- fashioned common sense. Essentially a beginners' guide aimed at entrepreneurial-minded women, Bickerstaff streamlines the complexities of launching a new business and presents all of the essential start-up information at a level that doesn't require anMBA to understand. She also sprinkles stories about women who havemade it in the business world throughout the book, to help readers see the finish line. Bickerstaff lists the three ingredients for a business start-up – a simple idea, a purpose and a strong passion. She then reinforces the need to create a picture of the finished product and, for this, she asks five questions: what do your customers look like; where are you going to play; SOME DOUGH STARTING A BUSINESS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A TOUGH COOKIE. IN FACT, IT CAN BE AS EASY AS PIE. what does your business 'taste' like; what is your big business goal; and what are your personal goals? You may think these are all very simple truths, but it is in the application that things can get sticky. Bickerstaff delves a little deeper than simply providing motivational techniques by outlining tips on how to manage your costs, one step at a time, and how to hire the right employees for your business. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Julia Bickerstaff is originally from the UK. She is an economist and consulting partner at Deloitte and a regular on Channel 7's Kochie's Business Builders. She also spent part of last year co-hosting Sky Business Channel's Money Makers program. CHEAT SHEET Read 'The basic business recipe' then dive in wherever you want. It's a confidence builder for women who want to start a small business – and a refresher for kitchen-table tycoons. THE PROS Lots of smart ideas and positive suggestions for starting out right and focusing on the issues that will matter most when you start your business. THE CONS The baking/cookie/casserole analogy wears a bit thin after a while. On the other hand, it does help the book stand out from the thousands of other 'How to' business titles out there.

FileMaker friends, could someone please teach me a new trick
I'm building an interface for composing "counsel" documents with each sentence it's own related record
Sometimes I need to move the portal rows around, like in my "Old McDonald" example
I think they call this kind a thing a "custom search order"
Is it possible to "Drag and Drop"? If not, no problem, how about a scripted button?

Hi All,
I don't really know if the Title really explains my situation, but here it is..
I have Four Fields: Name, Gender, Class and Policy
Policy Field is an Unstored Calculation with the calculation below with result set to Text
If ( Gender = "Male" & Class = "Primary"; "RUNNING" ;"EXPIRED")
Meaning, my intention is to Set the Policy field as Running, if the Student is Male and in Primary Class, otherwise, it should be set to Expired..
The calculation does not work, some fields are displayed correctly with the correct value while others are not.
However, if I remove the Logic "&" from the calculation making it only a single criterion, If ( Gender = "Male" ; "RUNNING" ;"EXPIRED"), then it works well..
Why can't I compare several fields using "&" or "OR" with that function?
Is there a better way of actualizing this?
By adrianatwork
I am importing a csv file and need to use matched field names when importing: the provider of the file adds fields from time to time. However one of the field names in the cvs file ends with a space and when managing field names I do not seem to be able to define a field name which ends in a space. Every time I do the field name has the trailing space removed when I save it. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all
After moving to FMP advanced 13 I still don't know how to automatically add a new field in the current layout I work on.
Before it was simple but now I always need to drag the icon into the layout in Layout mode.
Is there a way to tell the app to ALWAYS add new fileds to the current layout
Thanks a lot

The Journey of Tala (series)
|Next chapter
In the Morrow
The year is 393 AG. The Four Nations are at peace and the cycle of nations and life continues. Avatar Tala has been gone for the last fifteen years and the world anxiously awaits for the next Avatar to be discovered and announced. Prince Lirin of the Fire Nation is celebrating his fifteenth birthday, without a worry in his life.
A Special Day
She pushed his head back as another maid wrapped his robe on, "How are we supposed to tie your topknot if you cut your hair!?"
"Some prince you are, Lirin, thank goodness your sister is firstborn, or the entire nation would tremble at the thought of you as Fire Lord!"
"Hey," he looked back at the elderly woman, "it's my birthday. Can't you be a little bit nicer to me? And so you know, I agree, Ursa will make a much better Fire Lord than me. She's been preparing for it since she was old enough to say Bow to me."
The maid chuckled a little, she noticed the young man pinch the behind of the maid who had finished his robe as she left, she giggled as she trotted off smiling. His eyes flashed the way they did for him, even enchanting her more. Lirin's eyes shifted from a fathomless black to an amber gold, only Lirin had such a dazzling look. Every girl fell for it.
The elder maid promptly smacked him across the back of the head, "That is my daughter, Prince Lirin."
He massaged the back of his head, "You know, you seem to slap Royalty around, quite a bit, Ursa said you threw a brush at her once."
She had an offended look like such an accusation was a blight on her, "I did no such thing! Your sister was a lady who didn't need to be warded from unruly behavior like you!"
"Mira is older than me."
"She is seventeen and you are prince. As much as it would lift my spirits to see my daughter marry into royalty, I will not have you get her hopes up while you are only fifteen and without a care in the world about your future."
He was finally ready, half an hour late. He entered the steps to walk down and celebrate his birthday as was tradition. Cheering followed and he saw that his friends and family were there to celebrate the Prince's fifteenth birthday.He had reached floor level when a small column of old men soon entered the hall. They were Fire Sages, elder men who led the nation's spiritual beliefs and guided the Avatars in training and spirituality.
What were they doing here? They were reclusive in appearances and only showed themselves for important occasions, or emergencies, such as a Fire Lord's passing.
"Is something wrong, High Sage Tuza?"
"No, Prince Lirin, there is nothing wrong. We are just here to make the announcement as is tradition, on the birthday of the Avatar when he becomes a man."
Lirin stood there speechless, normal protocol was that one became a man at their sixteenth birthday. Lirin was celebrating early because he had mastered firebending and his father was eager to send him to a military outpost to train and grow out of his childish behavior.
It seemed that was all about to change. Tuza knelt, "We are honored to serve you, Avatar Lirin," he bowed and the sages joined him. Soon the entire party there for his birthday joined in bowing to Lirin.
It was not odd for Lirin to be bowed to, he was Prince of the Fire Nation, but it was why they were bowing. He didn't know what to do, he didn't want this, he wasn't meant for all this, that was the duty of his sister, she was meant for greatness, not him. He was just Lirin, grandson of the Black Dragon.
Now he was the Avatar. Great things would be expected for him, it would be demanded of him. He didn't want this.
- This scene is meant to be reminiscent of how Roku was discovered as the Avatar, where they are told after they reach manhood, it was a special case for Lirin because he mastered Firebending a year early.
- Lirin's scene with the maid's daughter is the first of many incidents to follow for Lirin.
- Lirin's thought, "He didn't want this" will be prevalent throughout the series, showing an important emotional issue.

A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.
Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.

Namecheap and my domain seller both came through and my email is working happily.
Zoneedit has been down since last Thursday. Time to find a new service as they appear to be uncontactable and don't really care. Shame as they have been a great service for many years.
@ Blaine Sato - Good call on CloudFlare all set up and working again within 1 hr. Thanks for the heads up. Hasta La Vista Zoneedit
@Brad - thanks for the reco, I'm now set up with Namecheap and email is flowing! Meanwhile I see that Zoneedit's name servers are still down, not that I care any more. Unfortunately I've lost 2 days of email, but nothing I can do about that.
ns2.zoneedit.com and ns3.zoneedit.com still down for me... Submitted a ticket yesterday, no response... called several times today and just got voicemail for their support team. Would be nice if they posted an ETA on this. I know relying on just 2 name servers is only a 99.5 uptime, but we're way below that right now.
@Jimmy -- I wasn't getting any emails and rather than have it sit too long and have those email servers choose to never send the messages, I moved my domain that was affected off of zoneedit (and it had been there for years without issues). Namecheap has a freedns service and it works with google apps and within minutes of adding it and telling my registrar (godaddy) of the changes it is working and emails are starting to flow in.... GLTA
@Gregg...I also added 2 additional nameservers to 3 accounts, still cannot receive email. Had to buy credits to do it, what a waste of money. No response from Zoneedit support (what a surprise). Time to find another provider - any recommendations? I'm looking at enom, since I use gmail apps for my domains.
Yep... ns2 and ns3 STILL down... I added a name server to several accounts to get past this... hate to spend more money and have services still not working.
Confirmed ns2.zoneedit.com and ns3.zoneedit.com is showing down on customer portal. Servers timing out since yesterday. First time in years I've had issues with them. I hope they come back online.
Lost all access to two domains on Zone Edit nameservers plenty of credit. ns2.zoneedit.com and ns3.zoneedit.com are un-contactable. Moved the services away as changing Name Servers is almost instant whereas waiting for Zone Edit could be eternity. I like to be able to talk to my service providers and not use ones that hide behind email.
pibf.org is down and has been for over 16 hours now... we cant reach anyone to talk to... just voice mail. This is terribly disruptive to our business! No e-mail no website... how much longer????
ns2.zoneedit.com and ns3.zoneedit.com are down, causing massive problems for our company. Argh.
i cant resolve my domain name and mx record for (lorcalma.com)
Received from zoneedit April 21 and still down, at least for me: We have recently identified a problem with our Dynamic DNS system. Unfortunately, we have no ETA for when this will be brought back online, but the latest is that it might be back within a few days. For now, you will need to make updates to your zone using our control panel. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you.
haven't been able to login since yesterday "Error. Bad response from server, please contact support". When sending in support ticket via web form at a similar error is seen (again since yesterday) after painstaking timeout.
This is what I get
Error Bad response from server, please contact support.
Can't log in zoneedit.com this morning, anyone knows what's happening?
Can't log in zoneedit.com this morning, anyone knows what's happening?
I cannot open up www.zoneedit.com. My antivirus detected it as malware.
my directupdates for dyndns are failing at zoneedit.com today getting "Invalid (or unrecognized) data received."
many of zoneedit's ns servers appear to be down. currently ns14.zoneedit.com and ns16.zoneedit.com are unreachable
I'm encountering similar problems to Jeff Panasuik. ZoneEdit seems to be going out of business or something, but I mention an alternative below.
As of early March 2013 it seems the "Sign Up" button on their website is gone, as if they aren't accepting new customers. They have not responded to my support inquiring about this.
On March 28th, 2013 I purchased 36 more credits for a domain I am already managing there. I immediately received an email confirmation that my order WILL BE processed, but didn't receive an actual confirmation. I checked my Spam too, because ZoneEdit emails frequently end up there. It has been 6 days and my credits haven't appeared on my account and my credit card has NOT been charged (phew).
I have since moved to an alternative service that I found is WAY better: CloudFlare.
I have no affiliation with them; I just found that they offer DNS services similar to ZoneEdit for free. A, CNAME, MX records, etc. You don't need to use their CDN redirect service, you can specify your own servers.
I'm not sure if CloudFlare offers anything like MailForward or WebForward, but check them out. Their service was easier to use than ZoneEdit and my DNS changes were somehow effective within minutes, not hours like ZoneEdit.
I hope this helps someone. And Boo ZoneEdit. I find this situation absolutely ridiculous, especially that they provide absolutely NO response to support requests.
Hello - I paid for the service and there hasn't been a single reply to confirm my payment and crediting my zone so I can use FINALLY USE MY DOMAIN, but as of today - no luck...after 4 days. 6 requests were submitted via support page, and several emails were sent to zoneedit.com, and even I contacted PayPal to inquiry to why my payment weren't credited on my account and PayPal confirmed that my payment were processed. They also said that it's zoneedit.com's end that I am having issue.
So.... please?
Zoneedit error on my domain. After several years of good service is failing. they appears as database inconsistence.
The response for my MX records is not correspondig to data registered. On several DNS report providers appears a erroneus Hosts and MX records.
Excuse my poor english langage.
Edit: Excuse, this fault is mine. There are bad configured changes on domain register.

Padded Piano Covers. Through the eyes of a two-year-old, the keys of the
piano provide the perfect obstacle course for driving Hot Wheels® cars
back and forth. Unfortunately from the point of view of the piano owner
this is not the ideal place for this activity to take place.
In many households there are times when the piano may need protection - either against toddlers and small children (such as during large family gatherings where there are more children than adults) or during construction or remodeling projects where workmen may not be thinking of the safest place to swing a board or lay down a tool.
For providing effective protection an unpadded or padded piano cover may be the ideal solution - a way to take away the appeal of keys to bang on, while at the same time cushioning any unsupervised activity to protect the finish, keys and action.
Piano covers are available for both grand and vertical pianos in most sizes either as unpadded dust covers or as padded moving cover. Choose the less expensive dust cover if you need is simply to keep the piano protected against sunlight and dust. If you wish to provide maximum protection for the piano for family gatherings or remodeling projects, the extra padded cushion that a moving cover provides will be appreciated.

CD enterprise card is a relatively new concept. It is deeply an natural philosophy variation of your concern card and can be used for a mixture of purposes. There are unsophisticatedly two distance you can get your own CD firm card. You can any do it yourself or use CD concern paper duplication.
If you poorness to quit a ageless outline beside your clients or promise customers, a CD concern card can go a bimestrial way. You can put substantially much records on a CD than a bittie company card. You can use images, visual communication to take intersecting your business hold out some amended. Most grouping will propulsion distant concern paper but will not flip distant CD company cards since CD company paper have more than effectiveness than a firm card.
There are two way to make CD firm paper. The premier way is to destroy the CD yourself. The trial near that it is mechanical and time cachexia.
A by a long way enhanced way is to formulate use of CD conglomerate card copy services. You merely want to make up a maestro mimic and next displace it to a CD firm paper duplication cast for CD copy. It is more value efficient and the damage is genuinely worthless now special if you same CD business organisation card in whacking quantities.
Some CD company paper copy companies will even do the designing and multimedia system features for you. You sole necessitate to convey them the videos, group logo, contact workings and your business organisation message and proposition and they will designing and copy and assemblage everything for you. It is easier and you do not have to business beside the trouble of problem solving out how to infuse your metaphors and videos.
Plus, we as company ethnic group aren't truly unbelievably devout art artists and it is noticeably improved to exit it to a white-collar.
I extremely recommend marital enterprise and undersized companies to use CD commercial paper duplicate companies as it is more than sum potent and updated.

Once these are in place there will be no more significant barriers left against migration from 2G," said Tobias Ryberg, senior analyst, Berg Insight and author of the report. As a result of the direct move from 2G to 4G, Berg Insight believes that 3G will only serve as an interim technology in cellular IoT. Annual shipments of 3G cellular IoT devices are predicted to peak in 2018. Instead the main alternative to 4G cellular technologies will be low power wide area (LPWA) networking technologies.Berg Insight believes that the 3GPP's recent initiative to define a new narrowband radio technology for IoT (NB-IoT) – one of the so-called 'Clean Slate' options, is highly significant and creates a unique opportunity for the mobile industry to include a new set of applications into its domain."A global universal standard for lightweight IoT communication on public networks is essential for driving the market forward," concluded Ryberg.Download report brochure here: Wireless IoT Connectivity Technologies and MarketsSee also: In search of the low-power wide area network standard for IoTJames Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

MySQL is a well-known server to deal with the database. Bluehost provides infinite access of MySQL server in the form of their basic shared hosting option.
MySQL database has turned out to be the professional level. On this context, it is crucial that you have knowledge on usage of MySQL server over the hosting account. Go through the article that shows the ways of managing MySQL server over the Dream Host account.
Dealing with the MySQL Database
MySQL 5.0 is presently being used for most of the fresh database purposes. However, Bluehost still deals with MySQL 4.1 database for antique database made. But, the MySQL 4.1 database can be upgraded to latest version as well.
In order to deal with the MySQL database management tool in Dream Host you have to first login into Dream Host section. Go to the Goodies panel, you can spot MySQL Database link there, click on it. You can set host name, database name, etc there.
Make your Hostname first [MySQL]
Prior making MySQL database, one has to set MySQL hostname. On this context, you have to click on the "Add New Hostname" option over the MySQL database management section. Next, you have to set the hostname. Then you will have to pick the domain for which you wish to apply MySQL database server.
The point is that you have to make hostname. It's completely on you regarding the hostname choice. You can add digits on this context as well for better protection.
Making the MySQL Database:
As the MySQL hostname has been made, you have the option of making MySQL database. For it, you have to visit the MySQL database management page. You can find option for making database at the lower extreme of the page.
For making database, one has to provide database name and choose the domain name that you just made long the username and password, so that you can have complete access for it. Anyway, you can add some comments for future reference, but it's optional. Finally hitting the 'Add new database now' option the database generates.
Deal with the Database User
As the database is made one may wish for changing the usage permission.
1You can witness the complete detail at database management panel.
2 You just need to click the username of the database, and it takes to the following page.
At the page there is the option of arranging various permissions like addition, upgrade, making, deletion, swapping, etc for user for the database. The ip, and password can be set as well for connecting with the database.
Have the phpMyAdmin:
For having the demo of server access you need phpMyAdmin to deal with the database. Bluehost is having the facility to make and remove database and the user. For testing your query you have to go with phpMyAdmin.
There should be no issues while going through the above steps regarding the creation and management of MySQL database through Bluehost. Anyway, your valuable comments are always welcome if any problem appears, or somethings like that. So hurry up and make your first database.

Question: What did you learn last year that will help you this year?
Burton: "I learned how to be patient and let the game come to me. I was so used to Andre giving me the ball off the bat, being able to catch the ball, make some moves and get myself into a rhythm. I might not see a pass now until the second quarter. That means I have to take advantage of every opportunity and be smarter as a receiver and make plays when you can. That is what I learned."
Question: What was life like out on your own in a different city?
Burton: "Honestly, it was just like college without the classes in a new state. Football is football for 12 hours a day. If you put in extra time, it is 13 or 14 hours a day and guys that want to be the best definitely put in the extra time. I am looking to be the best, so I am no different than those guys."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to accounting systems and, more particularly, to a system and method for revenue and expense realignment.
2. Background Information
Accounting within a business entity of any appreciable size is a complex operation. The business entity typically maintains a general ledger showing all of the transactions conducted by the various organizational units of the business enterprise. One or more revenue sources, which may be divisions, sales offices, individual salesmen, etc., generate revenue transactions that are stored within the general ledger. Similarly, one or more expense sources generate expense transactions showing various expenses related to the business enterprise. Typically, the plurality of revenue and/or expense transactions is are stored within the general ledger as individual entries. A noted problem with conventional business accounting systems is that there exists no easy technique for retrieving certain types of information from the general ledger. Individual entries within the general ledger may be retrieved, however, assimilating the data into a meaningful representation to answer common accounting and/or business-related questions may be complicated and/or impossible, depending upon at what granularity the revenue and expense sources output transactions.
A further noted disadvantage of conventional accounting systems is that data may be output from the various revenue and/or expense sources utilizing levels of granularity different than what is desired by users of the accounting system. For example, revenue may be output on a per product basis; however, the business entity may desire to a apportion the revenue from a particular product among several constituent elements of the business entity, e.g., between two divisions and/or between two salespeople. To track such information, the business entity may be required to keep multiple sets of books and associated revenue/expense sources for each level of granularity at which information may be desired. Such a redundant system introduces obvious cost increases with a concomitant increase in problems of data security and consistency. Additionally, users of the general ledger are typically limited by the static configuration of the revenue/expense sources and the type of information that they export.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a system and method for revenue and expense realignment that includes a user configurable rules engine that implements a series of rule based steps to transform, augment, multi-level aggregate and/or multi-level apportion inbound revenue and/or expense transactions before posting to the general ledger. A revenue and expense tracking system (RECAST) executes on a computer within a network operatively interconnected to one or more transaction servers, which illustratively generate revenue and/or expense transactions.
The RECAST illustratively comprises a plurality of modules including inbound and outbound interface modules that convert incoming data to/from a universal transaction format (UTF) that is utilized by the RECAST. The RECAST also includes a user interface (UI) module and associated statement builder module that permit a user to generate IF/THEN/ELSE logical statements as rules for processing received transactions. A user of the RECAST may access the UI via a web browser to configure appropriate data mappings, data sources, define one or more rules and one or more steps to be executed by the RECAST rules engine.
A rules engine of the RECAST executes the series of the rule based steps at user configured time periods to transform inbound transactions according to the user defined rules into a set of outbound transactions that may then be posted to one or more outbound services, such as the general ledger. A workflow security step may be utilized to ensure that no single user may perform all of the steps of the process in order to comply with the appropriate regulatory and/or security regimes, such as that imposed by Sarbanes Oxley (SOX). Illustratively, the workflow step causes a plurality of different users to be required to execute all of the steps of the RECAST.
The above and further advantages of the invention may be better understood by referring to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals indicate identical or functionally similar elements:
A. Network Environment
The present invention provides a system and method for revenue and expense realignment that includes a user configurable rules engine that implements a series of rule based steps to transform inbound revenue and/or expense transactions before posting to the general ledger. A revenue and expense tracking system (RECAST) executes on a computer within a network operatively interconnected to one or more transaction servers, which illustratively generate revenue and/or expense transactions.
Connected to the server 110 is a set of storage devices 130 that store one or more mapping tables 135 and/or a set of rules 140. Illustratively, the mapping tables 135 and rules 140 may be stored within a database. The database may comprise any conventional form of database including, for example, a conventional SQL database. The storage devices 130 are illustratively disk drives, however, in alternate embodiments, the storage devices 130 may comprise any form of storage, including, e.g., Flash RAM, battery backed non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM), etc. As such, the description of storage devices 130 as disks should be taken as exemplary only.
The mapping tables 135, described further below, are utilized for mapping various inbound transactions into a uniform transaction format (UTF) for use by the RECAST 150. The set of rules 140, described further below, define operations to be performed to implement a set of user customizable logic for processing transactions in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
Also operatively connected to the network 105 are one or more transaction servers 115. The transaction servers 115 may comprise revenue sources that generate revenue transactions signifying the revenue of the business entity and/or expense sources that generate expense transactions representing expenses of the business entity. The transactions servers 115 may output transactions utilizing any of a plurality of different transaction formats. Illustratively, these varying transaction formats are converted to a universal transaction format (UTF) by the RECAST 150, as described further below. In alternate embodiments of the present invention, transaction servers 115 output transactions in the UTF. In such alternate embodiments, the RECAST 150 may directly process the received UTF transactions without needing to convert the received transactions.
Additionally, the transactions servers 115 may output transactions at various levels of granularity, e.g., associated revenue with a particular product, a particular salesperson, a sales office, a division, etc. By utilizing the RECAST 150 of the present invention, the various transactions output by the servers 115 may be transformed according to the set of rules 140 into varying levels of granularity desired by users of the RECAST 150. Thus, by use of the RECAST 150, multiple sets of books at various levels of granularity may be kept by the application without requiring redundant general ledger transaction servers, etc. Thus, for example, by utilizing the same transactions servers 115, the RECAST 150 may be able to perform operations on the level of a salesperson, a sales office, a division, or any other hierarchical organizational level of the business entity. Thus, the RECAST 150 provides the capability to generate any number of independent sets of books.
Furthermore, a client 120 that illustratively executes a Web browser 125 is connected to network 105. Illustratively, a user of the RECAST 150 utilizes the Web browser 125 to connect to the RECAST 150 for management purposes. However, it should be noted that in alternate embodiments, other forms of communication other than Web browsers may be utilized in connecting with the RECAST, including, for example, a command interface (CLI) over a network connection.
It should be noted that the environment 100 is exemplary only and that different system configurations may be utilized in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.
B. Application Data Flow The RECAST illustratively comprises a plurality of modules including inbound and outbound interface modules that convert incoming data to/from a universal transaction format (UTF) that is utilized by the RECAST. The RECAST also includes a user interface (UI) module and associated statement builder module that permit a user to generate IF/THEN/ELSE logical statements as rules for processing received transactions. A user of the RECAST may access the UI via a web browser to configure appropriate data mappings, data sources, define one or more rules and one or more steps to be executed by the RECAST rules engine.
The inbound interface module 240 converts incoming transactions from a plurality of formats into a universal transaction format (UTF) utilized by the rules engine 250 while processing transactions. Similarly, the outbound interface module 245 converts transactions in the UTF to appropriate formats for posting to the general ledger and/or other systems. Such conversion occurs using a set of user defined mapping tables 135 which identify the relationship between fields in a transaction protocol and the UTF. Additionally, certain fields in the UTF may be completed by accessing different data sources. For example, conversation rates between currencies may be obtained separately from the inbound transaction to complete one or more of the UTF fields. That is, the RECAST may augment received data by using lookup tables and/or user defined rules. Such data augmentation may be performed prior to the invocation of the rules.
Illustratively, the RECAST 150 has as inputs a plurality of revenue systems 205, expense systems 207, additional data source systems 210 and/or other transaction sources 215. The revenue systems 205 and aexpense systems 207 transmit revenue and/or expense transactions to the RECAST 150. Additional source systems 210 are utilized to transfer reference data to the RECAST 150. For example, the additional source systems 210 may store conversion rates, such as between the United States Dollar and the British Pound for use in performing various calculations. The other transaction sources 215 may transmit other transactions, e.g., refunds or interest income, to the RECAST 150. The RECAST 150 illustratively sends to the general ledger 225 transactions that have been processed by the rules engine 250 in accordance with the user configured rules 140. Additionally, certain accounts receivable (AR) postings may be forwarded to an AR module 220, which may then forward them to appropriate revenue systems 205. Additionally, the RECAST 150 may be utilized to generate various reports by outputting data to various reporting modules, including, e.g., a revenue reporting module 230, an expense reporting module 232, and/or a profitability reporting module 234. Additionally, in certain alternate embodiments, a user may desire the RECAST to output transactions to an operational data store 236, which serves as a data repository of transactions for use in generating additional reports.
It should be noted that the data flow diagram 200 is exemplary only and that the RECAST 150 may be utilized in a variety of alternate systems with differing inputs/outputs.
C. Configuration
A rules engine of the RECAST executes the series of the rule based steps at user configured time periods to transform inbound transactions according to the user defined rules into a set of outbound transactions that may then be posted to one or more outbound services, such as the general ledger. A workflow security step may be utilized to ensure that no single user may perform all of the steps of the process in order to comply with the appropriate regulatory and/or security regimes, such as that imposed by Sarbanes Oxley (SOX). Illustratively, the workflow step causes a plurality of different users to be required to execute all of the steps of the RECAST.
More generally, the step of configuring data mappings (step 310) enables the user to configure the RECAST 150 to accept inbound data for transactions from any appropriate protocol format. By enabling the user to configure data mappings, the RECAST 150 is customizable for use with any inbound data transaction and is thereby not limited to currently known transaction formats and/or source systems. Additionally, a user may configure the RECAST 150 to perform data augmentation on incoming data. For example, certain fields may be augmented with data from lookup tables and/or user defined rules before the transactions are passed to the rules engine for processing.
However, in alternate embodiments, if the RECAST 150 is part of a closely coupled system, where each of the components is provided by a single vendor, there may be no need for data mappings if the entire system, including transactions servers, the application and the general ledger all utilize a common data format. However, in general, accounting systems utilize software from a plurality of differing vendors which may utilize different formats. Thus, the capability to configure data mappings in step 310 enables the RECAST 150 to be utilized with a wide variety of accounting systems.
In step 315, the user configures the appropriate data sources. As noted, this may be performed via a GUI provided by the UI module 255. An exemplary screenshot of this GUI is shown in
The user then, in step 320, configures the appropriate rules and mappings. By configuring the rules and rule mappings, the user is able to utilize one or more simple rules that are predefined by the application and/or one or more customizable complex rules that may be defined by the user using IF/THEN/ELSE logic to which the rules may be as simple as if a particular transaction is posted to a certain account number in the inbound services, ensuring that it is posted to a different account in the outbound one to as complex as many multi-step conditional logic operations. One noted advantage of the present invention is that the RECAST 150 enables a user to dynamically define rules using UI 255 without requiring reprogramming of software, that is, an end user can program the desired rules without the need of an extensive IT department. Such ease of use adds to the functionality of the RECAST 150. Exemplary screenshots of a GUI for performing this step are shown in
The user configures the steps to be performed, including associating one or more rules with each step in step 325. An exemplary screenshot of a GUI for performing this step is shown in
The appropriate processes are then executed in step 300. The execution of the. processes is described further below in reference to procedure 1200 described in reference to
The RECAST 150 of the present invention enables a user to customize its operation to enable the RECAST 150 to be utilized in any desired accounting environment. By enabling the user to customize the data sources, data mappings and rules and steps to perform, the RECAST 150 permits the user to perform accounting and expense realignment operations with nearly unlimited flexibility that is not possible using conventional accounting systems. Additionally, the RECAST 150 permits the user to generate reports sets of books at multiple levels of granularity and including, for example, at the business entity level, division level, office level, product level, salesperson level. Furthermore, by generating appropriate rules, the allocation of revenue generated by particular product may be apportioned among various sub entities of the business entity, even if the revenue source associated with the product only exports data at the product level.
D. Graphical User Interface
As noted above, in the illustrative embodiment, the RECAST 150 includes a UI module 255 that presents a GUI to users via a Web browser 125. Alternate UI techniques may be utilized with the present invention in alternate embodiments. For example, the UI module 255 may present a command line interface (CLI) that permits users to generate scripts for performing various functions. Alternately, the UI module 255 may provide a GUI on a display connected locally to the server 110 executing the RECAST 150. Such an embodiment may be desired to provide additional degrees of security by preventing and/or limiting clients from connecting to the server 110. As such, the description of the GUI screenshots described herein should be taken as exemplary only and not to limit the scope o the present invention.
A plurality of mappings 755, 775 and 780 enable the user to identify the operations to be performed by this rule. An Add Mapping Rule button 790 permits the user to add an additional mapping rule to this rule. Each mapping 755 includes a from field 760 that identifies a type of data to be mapped from a field 765 to a UTF field 770.
E. Rules Engine Processing
The rules engine may also, in alternate embodiment, implement workflow requirements in step 1225. The workflow requirements may be necessary to meet certain statutory and/or regulatory requirements such as that required by Sarbanes Oxley (SOX). For example, in a system having four steps, the workflow requirements may only permit a particular user to execute two of the four steps, thereby requiring two different users with appropriate authorizations to implement the entire four step process. More generally, the workflow requirements may be defined as assigning one or more steps of permissions to more than one users so that certain regulatory and/or security safeguards may be implemented.
In step 1230, the outbound transactions and data are then converted from the UTF to the appropriate format utilized by the destination system, such as the general ledger. In alternate embodiments if the general ledger (or other outbound destination services) utilizes UTF, this conversion step is not necessary. The RECAST 150 illustratively provides for a verification mechanism in step 1235. This verification is typically performed by a user of the RECAST to ensure that the outbound transactions are coherent. Once the verification has been completed in step 1235, the RECAST then posts the outbound transactions/data in step 1240. The application may post these to, for example, the general ledger and/or other accounting and/or in lieu of applications. The procedure 1200 then completes in step 1245.
While there has been shown and described illustrative embodiments of the present invention, it is to be understood that various other adaptations and modifications may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the procedures, processes and/or modules described herein may be implemented in hardware, software, embodied as a computer-readable medium having program instructions, firmware, or a combination thereof. Therefore it is the object of the appended claims to cover all such variations and modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
