Exhausting a Crowd
This addictive tableau vivant of a packed Piccadilly Circus allows observers to attach a limitless number of comment "tags" to the people in the crowd.
George Perec's 1974 experimental literary work An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris records observations of details that normally go unnoticed. Exhausting a Crowd does something similar, but this process has now been automated. The result is an absorbing tableau vivant of crowds at Piccadilly Circus in London; users can provide as many "tags" as they want containing observations. Our eye is drawn to the tags already placed by fellow observers who have pointed out details, invented dialogues or ascribed thoughts to passersby. They also offer amusing comments about people's appearance, pose the occasional philosophical question, refer to well-known figures (Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who and Mad Max) and affix onomatopoeic texts to cars, buses, taxis and pedestrians. Quite a few of the tags point out people taking selfies or staring at their cell phones: "Caught up in virtual reality," reports one tag at 11:04 p.m. This artwork reflects on a future when surveillance is an entirely automated combination of machine and human intelligence. It is a beautiful record of life in the common space that offers some alarming insight into the potential for control in a dystopian society.
During IDFA 2015, Kyle McDonald will present a new version of Exhausting a Crowd using images from different locations in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and elsewhere. This new version, called Exhausting a Crowd – The Netherlands, was co-commissioned by IDFA DocLab, V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media and De Brakke Grond.
Selected for IDFA 2015 and eligible for the IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling and the IDFA DocLab Award for Immersive Non-Fiction.
Presented as part of the DocLab: Seamless Reality program by IDFA and De Brakke Grond during DocLab Live: The Art of Artificial Intelligence on 23 November and as an interactive installation from 19-29 November.

Bobby Brown was formally charged with DUI after being pulled over on Monday. Brown was originally pulled over because he was talking on his phone while driving, but what was supposed to be a cell phone ticket turned into a DUI. Bobby reportedly had a .12 blood alcohol level when he was tested at the scene, well over the .08 legal limit. His lawyer released some statement claiming that her client wasnt driving erratically when he was pulled over.

Ponzi game in OLG model with endogenous growth and productive government spending
Barro's model is an AK model, and there cannot be dynamic inefficiency since the social yield of the capital is higher than the growth rate. But it may be that the private yield and thus the interest rate are lower than the growth rate. One can thus have a Ponzi game and the government can allow a permanent roll-over of debt and cut taxes. However we show that in this model since the capital is under-accumulated, playing a Ponzi game produces a crowding-out of capital and reduces the growth rate and welfare. The practical message of this article is that even when the interest rate is lower than the growth rate, the public debt is not a Pareto improvement when it generates a crowding-out of capital and reduces endogenous growth.

Hardiness zones
Hardiness zones maps are used to determine if a specific plant can be grown in the climate of a specific location. They are used by gardeners as well as professional growers. Hardiness zones were firstly used by the department of agriculture(USDA) in the United States but today also widely used in the rest of the world. Hardiness zones are based on the average minimum temperature of the area which is determined by the locations elevation, latitude and proximity to the coast The scale is ranging from the coldest zone 0A to the warmest zone 12B, each divided by 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hardiness zones are a great indicator to determine if a plant species is suitable for an area but one should be aware that average minimum temperature is not the only factor that influence plant survival. Important factors like summer heat, extreme temperature drops, precipitation or snow coverage are not included in the hardiness scale and should always be added to gain the best insight in an area.

Flora Holland Trade Fair, a well visited Fair in a positive atmosphere.
During the Flora Holland Trade Fair from the 5th until the 7th of November the whole sales team of Aardam has experienced a positive atmosphere among the Dutch growers. Mainly, because of the many Market requests for finished products, which gave a positive signal to our business relations. The Flora Holland Trade Fair was a great success for Aardam. Especially the Cordyline's: Pink Passion , Can Can and Jive attracted a lot of attention to our stand. Dracaena Burly certainly took up a central position and we received many compliments from growers of the Southern countries. We had the opportunity to meet and greet many business relations from different Countries. Also from several producers we noticed a decreasing line in demands. During the week of the Flora Holland Trade Fair many regular clients visited our company. For a meet and greet, a viewing or to check on their ordered plants. We have also noticed clearly that our subsidiary company, Tropical Seeds, pops more and more into view as a seed supplier when it concerns far destinations and professional growers who control the germination process of our products themselves.

Oregon Football: Week 1 Fall Practice Stock ReportAugust 8, 2013
Four days of fall camp are in the books, and it's time to take a look at where things stand thus far for the Oregon Ducks.
The first week has been without any major developments, which is typically a good thing at a time when injuries tend to cause the biggest headlines. It must also be noted that the team hasn't competed in a practice with full pads either.
But when it comes to football, any tidbits of information are more than welcome after a long offseason of NCAA drama.
One thing coaches get excited about this time of year is not only seeing what the new freshmen bring to the table, but getting a look at how established players have improved since spring practice. One of those players was DeForest Buckner, who according to Justin Hopkins of 247sports, is now up to 285 pounds.
Considering that he already stands at 6'7", you're looking at a potential superstar on defense. Having that extra beef should allow Buckner to combine his speed with a level of physicality that may have eluded him in 2012.
Matt Prehm of 247sports also noted that Colt Lyerla has dropped 10 pounds in hopes of increasing his speed. If you recall how fast Lyerla looked taking handoffs from Bryan Bennett against Arizona, an increase in speed from that version of the tight end has to be a scary prospect for opponents. We know how physical the former 5-star recruit can be, but when his speed borderlines on elite as well, it's fair to assume that he'll be a major part of the game plan each week.
As for the actual practices, it's difficult to glean too much information with practices no longer open to the public. However, Rob Moseley's blog at GoDucks.com does have some interesting notes from practice.
In looking over these reports, the thing that stands out most is the level of athleticism this team has compared with the Ducks of a decade ago. That's not to rip on former greats like wide receiver Samie Parker, who would certainly still have his starting spot today, but everywhere you look on the depth chart, there are serious athletes.
Eric Dungy continued to make positive impressions as the junior hopes to get a little more playing time this season. He has the intriguing freshmen class to fend off, but with a solid spring game, I wouldn't be surprised to see Dungy get more playing time throughout the season.
It also sounds as if Marcus Mariota hasn't missed a beat, which is another welcome sign for fans. Though it's probably a bit unsurprising too, given Mariota's leadership throughout spring and into summer workouts. He is the leader of this team, and fans should feel good to see him starting out camp in such a manner.
The questions about depth at running back also appear to have been tempered for the moment, as both Thomas Tyner and Byron Marshall are having a strong showing thus far.
Jason Quick of The Oregonian noted that Scott Frost told him Marshall was the MVP of Tuesday's practice, also adding that his improved maturity and understanding of the offense was noticeable. This is noteworthy because one of the questions lingering after spring camp was if Byron Marshall had enough understanding of the offense to become the main starter.
The strong start could be a direct result of the push from highly touted back Thomas Tyner, who has also turned heads in the first few days. Erik Skopil of eDuck has been covering the Ducks this week, and in an interview with running backs coach Gary Campbell, the veteran coach told him that Tyner had been picking up the offense quite well.
Also of note in Skopil's feed is the impact the defensive line has already had in less than a week. Taylor Hart may quietly become one of the Ducks' best defensive linemen ever and the height of Armstead and Buckner makes the unit potentially one of the best in the country. Prehm noted after today's practice that Coach Helfrich once again praised the unit's effort.
That's all we've got thus far, but it sounds like practice is off to a great start for the defending Fiesta Bowl champions. More importantly, there is football being played, and for that, we can all rejoice.

VDI is a multitude of technologies that must work together in a premeditated way; and this we already know. However, couple weeks ago an interesting discussion in one of VMware's internal forums sparkled my attention. The topic demonstrates clearly the level of attention and detail that a good VDI design should have. The central point of the question was about Microsoft Outlook configuration for VDI environments. Sounds simple, but let's have a look.
The PST
The practice recommends that PSTs be avoided in VDI, whenever possible. The reason for that is that the existence of PSTs in a given virtual desktop will tie that virtual desktop to a user, which is fine in the case of persistent desktops. What about if the desktop needs to be recomposed?
Well, a possible solution for that would be PST files in a Persistent Disk (UDD). If users are allowed to create PSTs in Persistent Disks, in a Persistent Desktop it's then indispensable to carry out backups of these PSTs. The backup would have to be disk based and not agent based, since the user may leave Microsoft Outlook open inside the virtual machine. Of course there are way to solve that, like executing a automatic logoff or using a agent that support open files.
Let's not forget that the main idea behind the creation of PST is due to the existence of the mailbox limit size imposed by administrators to save storage space on Exchange Servers. However, letting users create PST files they would be consuming the same amount of storage space from a same or different storage array. The Persistent Disk could be eventually located in a cheaper storage tier such as a NAS or SATA disks.
Anyway, seems like a good idea not to let users create PST on local disks, therefore increasing storage allocation for the Exchange Servers. In this way desktops could be part of floating pools and the users would have their independence from a single desktop that contains their PST.
The OST
The second problem to be solved are the OST files that are created when using Microsoft Outlook in Cached Mode. These cache files must be local and Microsoft does not support them in network shares. OST files are offline copies of server content that are locally indexed and synced with the server creating a high demand for disk traffic and IOPS. Additionally, every first use of Microsoft Outlook with Cached Mode enabled will force Outlook to sync server contents, causing a huge burst in network traffic and disk throughput and IOPS.
In a similar fashion to PSTs it is possible to accommodate OSTs in Persistent Disks, however the same constraints and issues apply. To keep up with the amount of IOPS a possible solution to consider is the use of SSDs, but the additional storage costs would not make sense from a TCO perspective.
Seems like it's best to disable Cached Mode.
Disabling Cached Mode
Disabling Cached Mode we will be eliminating OST files, therefore getting rid of the persistent disk (UDD) requirement and also reducing network and storage bursts during the replication and indexing periods. However, now we have transferred the workload to Exchange Server.
Because OST files don't exist anymore Microsoft Outlook will solely rely on being Online with the Exchange server for the user to send and receive and access mail, and this will put the IOPS burden on the Exchange Server, possibly impacting all users in the organisation should the server is not properly sized for the workload.
Another downside of Disabling Cached Mode is that Outlook Instant Search is unavailable if OSTs are disabled, and it will not index against Exchange Server. Since most users use advanced find to search for anything, the overall IO load could be much higher than it would have been if left on the virtual desktop. In summary, may be better to enable Cached Mode.
An interesting point raised during the conversations is that it is easier to manage Microsoft Exchange IOPS and network since it's a single entity. Virtual Desktops are multiple and each individual desktop could have different requirements.
Looks like there is no right or wrong,and the VDI architect will need to ponder all variables and the organisation's context before making a decision. What is your take on this discussion?

Obamacare the punchline at Washington press dinner
President Barack Obama cracked jokes about the government's disastrous health care policy rollout and mocked political opponents at the White House Correspondents' Dinner late Saturday.
The annual dinner, filled with insider jokes and elbow jabs masquerading as humor, brings Washington journalists together with celebrities and power brokers for a meal with the president and first lady.
"In 2008, my slogan was 'Yes We Can.' In 2013, my slogan was Control+Alt+Delete," the president joked, a reference to the technical problems on HealthCare.gov, the website created for his signature health care overhaul.
There was also a technical problem with a video segment that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius, blamed for the HealthCare.gov debacle, showed up to "fix."
Obama made light of his low popularity ratings, but also took a swipe at Republicans opposed to raising the minimum wage. "If you want to get paid for not working you should run for Congress just like everyone else," he said.
- Obama ribs cable news -
The president did not spare the cable TV news networks.
Obama said that he was happy to be at the dinner, but was "a little jet lagged" after returning from his trip to Malaysia. "The lengths we have to travel to get CNN coverage," he quipped.
The reference was to CNN's blanket coverage of the missing Malaysia Airlines airplane that for a time pushed all other news off their airwaves.
He mocked MSNBC's low viewership, then took a jab at Fox News.
"Let's face it, Fox, you'll miss me when I'm gone. It'll be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya," he said.
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton is widely seen as the front runner in the 2016 presidential race, though she has been coy about her intention to run.
While CNN and MSNBC carried the event live, Fox aired a special the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Conservatives have long blamed Obama officials, including Clinton, for mishandling the debacle.
- Obama mocked for Guantanamo -
The featured speaker, TV comedian Joel McHale, did not spare the president.
He praised Obama's performance, then said that his favorite presidential joke "was when you said you would close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. That was classic. That was hilarious."
Obama promised to shut down the controversial "war on terror" prison at a US naval base in Cuba when he took office in January 2009, but the site is still open.
Most of McHale's jokes however were at the expense of the corpulent governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, who was at the dinner.
McHale mocked Christie's girth as well as a local traffic scandal that could sink his hopes to become the 2016 Republican presidential nominee. "I promise that tonight will be both amusing and over quickly just like Chris Christie's presidential bid," he joked.
Washington reporters -- industry names mostly unknown outside of the US capital -- shared dinner with Hollywood guests like Lupita Nyong'o, Robert de Niro, Patrick Stewart and TV actress Sofia Vergara.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who rose to fame in "Seinfeld" and now stars in a cable TV comedy about a fictitious vice president, appeared in a humorous video along with Vice President Joe Biden.
Michelle Obama and the Democratic and Republican House leaders made brief appearances in the clip.

A statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati, the president said "the barbaric incident will not deter the Federal Government from its strong-willed determination to overcome those who do not mean well for this nation."
He said the Federal Government will not be stampeded, for any reason whatsoever, into abandoning its unrelenting war against terrorists in the country.
President Jonathan reassured Nigerians and foreigners in the country that the Nigerian Government will continue to do all that is required to ensure the safety of lives and property, including continued collaboration with local and international partners and stakeholders to check the menace of terrorism.
The president commiserated with the victims of the explosions, their families and friends, and assured the Kano State government of the Federal Government's continued support.
Over 60 passengers were killed while dozens got injured following an explosion that hit an inter-state luxurious car park in Kano State North West Nigeria on Monday.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack as at press time.

This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. �119(e) of provision U.S. patent application No. 60/710,178, filed Aug. 23, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to magazine subscriptions and, more particularly, to methods and systems for providing a flexible magazine management service.
The magazine industry has experienced a steady growth over the last few years. This industry has used different ways to advertise magazines, and has also provided different methods for people to subscribe to and receive magazines. Some of the advertising has included direct marketing via the mail and over the telephone, commercials on television and radio, print advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and online advertisements via the Internet. Consumers may subscribe to magazines through the mail, over the phone, and over the Internet. Frequently, however, a long subscription period, such as one year, is required for each subscription. Consumers may feel locked into receiving the magazine for the duration of the subscription period. Even worse, consumers cannot easily cancel their magazine subscriptions or determine when a subscription will expire, and may have to wait on hold with telephone consumer service representatives to cancel their subscriptions, or even to check the status of their subscriptions.
These commitments, coupled with rising costs of subscriptions, cause difficulty for consumers, especially for consumers with multiple subscriptions. Further, while some magazines accept subscriptions via online services, conventional online magazine subscription services suffer from several disadvantages. For example, each magazine subscription generally requires a consumer to manage each individual subscription, and to keep track of different subscription durations, contract terms, bills, contacts, and renewal notices. These conventional systems may be particularly cumbersome for individuals and households that subscribe to multiple magazines. Further, generic services operated by offline, third-party magazine agents have no brand recognition, and, therefore, are not easily trusted by consumers.
Accordingly, there exists a need for a flexible magazine management service that will enable users to consolidate multiple subscriptions from different publishers into one account, and to pay for a magazine package with a recurring flat fee.
Embodiments of the invention provide a method for managing a magazine subscription service is disclosed. A magazine package is associated with a consumer, wherein the package includes a price based on a number of magazines in the package. Selections for the number of magazines are received from the consumer, each selected magazine having a corresponding publication frequency including a period for delivery. Distribution of issues of each of the selected magazines according to the corresponding publication frequency is enabled.
Other embodiments of the invention provide a method for managing a magazine management service. A selection for one of a plurality of magazine packages is received from a consumer, wherein each of the plurality packages include a price based on a number of magazines in the package. The selected package is associated with the consumer, and selections for the number of magazines are received from the consumer, each selected magazine having a corresponding publication frequency including a number of issues and a period for delivery. Distribution of issues of each of the selected magazines according to the corresponding publication frequency is enabled.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
A flexible magazine management service enables consumers to consolidate all of the subscriptions in their households in one account, and pay for them via a recurring flat fee, as a result, improving consumers' experience of subscribing to magazines. Consumers may save time by choosing tiers or packages of magazines, and the number of magazines the consumer receives each month depends on the package selected: for $7 per month, the consumer gets 3 magazines, for $12 per month, the consumer gets 5 magazines, etc. Each package may contain certain magazines, for example, based on distribution period, topic, or cover price, creating value for the consumer. The account may be billed like cable or other utilities, giving the consumer the ability to cancel at any time, hassle free, yet giving the consumer flexibility by eliminating the constraints of a contract. Consumers may also receive free issues of magazines they have never subscribed to and would like to try, for example, using a queue or wish list. The flexible magazine management service may automatically send consumers their top sample selections each month, or may suggest magazines or article samples for the consumers based on previous selections. In addition, consumers may easily send magazines to other recipients (e.g., send gifts to family members), change their package levels, send payments, select magazine titles, update wish lists, edit personal information, and manage other information using their single account. One skilled in the art will recognize that users may receive magazines with no specified term for a subscription, and without establishing subscription contracts.
FMM system 150 provides flexible, dynamic magazine management services to individuals and groups of users via, for example, network 140. FMM system 150 includes firewalls, routers, switches, websites, web servers, databases, software applications, and application servers. In addition, FMM system 150 may use other computing devices or software that may aid in providing a flexible magazine management service. Users 110 and 120 and FMM system 150 may connect to network 140 through any medium. For example, the connection mediums may include copper wires, twisted pair, optical fiber, and wireless interfaces. In one example, network 140 may be the Internet. Users 110 and 120 and FMM system 150 may obtain accesses to network 140 through an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
FMM system 150 may generate a magazine issue label file, described in greater detail below with respect to
Transportation center 180 may take processed and packaged magazines from fulfillment center 170 and send them to users 110 and 120 and recipient 130 through transportation network 190. Transportation center 180 may include personnel and equipment that may be used in loading, transporting, and unloading processed and packaged magazines. Transportation center 180 personnel may include truck drivers, equipment operators, supervisors, and managers. Equipment may include forklifts and dollies, for example. Transportation network 190 may include airports, ports, roads, railroad, airways, and waterways. One skilled in the art will recognize that service 100 may include any number of users, recipients, FMM systems, fulfillment units, and transportation centers.
In one embodiment, users 110 and 120 may access FMM system 150 to create and manage user accounts. Users 110 and 120 may select one or more magazines to be delivered to themselves or to recipient 130. In certain embodiments, recipient 130 may receive magazines without accessing FMM system 150. For example, user 110 may be recipient 130's mother. User 110 subscribes to Time™, Sports Illustrated™, and People™ magazines using a flexible magazine management service. User 110 designates the recipient for her Time™ magazine as her son, recipient 130, for example by changing the mailing address for her Time™ magazine subscription to her son's college dormitory address, and within a week or two, recipient 130 starts receiving a Time™ magazine issue. In certain embodiments, FMM system 150 may deliver magazines or other notices to users 110 and 120 or to recipient 130 online, for example via network 140.
Web server 240 may be Apache HTTP Server™, Internet Information Services (IIS)™, or Sun Java System Web Server™, for example. One skilled in the art will recognize that web server 240 may be any type of known web server. FMM website 230 may be a transactional website with help of application server 250 and database 260. Interaction with FMM website 230 may be independent of other transactions. Business components (i.e., components with business rules) and web components (i.e., components that generate dynamic contents of websites) may reside and run on application server 250. One skilled in the art will recognize that application server 250 may be any known application server. In certain embodiments, web server 240 may function as both a web server and an application server without the need of application server 250. In other embodiments, application server 250 may function as both an application server and a web server without the need of web server 240.
Application server 250 may store data in database 260. One skilled in the art will recognize that database 260 may be any known database. Although web server 240, application server 250, and database 260 appear in
Database 260 may store subscription data from application server 250. Fulfillment database 320 may store fulfillment data in fulfillment system 310. Subscription data in database 260 and fulfillment data in database 310 may need to be synchronized in certain embodiments. This synchronization may be performed using network 140, for example.
FMM website 230 provides 24-hour access for users to manage their accounts, browse for new magazines, place gift orders, submit orders, cancel magazines, change personal data, etc.
In creating the account, the user may select, for example, a username and a password, and provide FMM website 230 with a name, a billing address, delivery address(es), recipient(s), email address(es), and payment method(s) (e.g., credit card information, check card information, or bank account information). In one embodiment, the user may choose a magazine package tier service level, as described in more detail below with respect to
In certain embodiments, FMM system 150 may bill the user account for a flat fee, for example at a reoccurring period. For example, users may receive bills monthly, with no specified term for the subscription, and without establishing subscription contracts.
After creating an account, the user may check out (step 550), for example by signing out of their account, closing FMM website 230, or otherwise completing their transaction. In one embodiment, FMM system 150 may send a confirmation email to the user to verify the selections and account information (step 560).
The user may view current magazine selections associated with the user account (step 620). For example, the user may see that three magazines are associated with her user account: (1) Time™, (2) People™, and (3) Fortune™. The user may decide to change subscription options associated with the account (step 630), for example by changing a magazine package tier service level (described in more detail below with respect to
In certain embodiments, the user may request a sample issue of a magazine (step 640). For example, a user requests to sample new magazines that she has never subscribed to before. The user may sample magazines at no cost, or for an additional cost, for example for a fee less than the subscription cost of the new magazine.
In one embodiment, each flexible magazine management account may include a wish list. If the user desires a free issue, the user may add a magazine issue to a wish list (step 645), and each month, the user may receive a free issue, for example, corresponding to the issue at the top of the wish list. In one embodiment, FMM system 150 may automatically add new issues to the user's wish list, for example, recommendations based on previous orders, current orders, household orders, or characteristics of the user (e.g., age, gender, or occupation). In one embodiment, users may submit demographic surveys, which FMM system 150 may use to select issues for the user's wish list. In other embodiments, magazine companies may send free issues to users who subscribe to titles associated with the companies, for example for promotional purposes. The flexible magazine management service may, in some embodiments, notify users about which issues, including which sample issues, they will receive next, and the estimated arrival date of the issues, for example via e-mail.
From the flexible magazine management website, the user may also change billing information associated with the user account (step 650). For example, the user may change payment options (e.g., credit card information, check card information, or bank account information), billing address, email address, and other billing information (step 655). The user may log out (step 660). In one embodiment, FMM system 150 may send a confirmation email to the user to verify any changes (step 670).
As described above, users may select magazine package tiers.
Further, users may be able to switch magazine titles within each tier at any time, using, for example, FMM website 230. A user may, for example, search magazines by title and add or delete magazines within the tier associated with his user account. Further, the user may cancel a subscription to one or more magazines at any time, and may cancel their entire subscription service at any time.
In certain embodiments, each tier may contain certain magazines, based on, for example, distribution period or topic. Tiers may be priced based on the number of magazines within the tier, the distribution period, or other factors. In some embodiments, each tier may entitle a user to receive a certain number of free issues of magazines. In some embodiments, a single magazine package, or tier, may be used instead of multiple tiers with different prices.
Since magazine subscriptions are flexible and may change from period to period as users manage their accounts and tiers, FMM system 150 may identify recipients before distributing magazine issues for each period in order to determine which magazines to send to which recipients each period.
FMM system 150 may then determine which magazines to distribute to recipients for the current period (step 820). For example, some magazines may be selected for distribution every week, while other magazines may be selected for distribution only once every four to five weeks. In the exemplary embodiment shown in
After determining which magazines to distribute, FMM system 150 may create a magazine issue label file 835 that can be sent to a fulfillment unit to instruct the fulfillment unit to sent the correct magazines to each subscriber (step 830). In certain embodiments, magazine issue label file 835 may include a collection of mailing addresses that are associated with all magazines that will be distributed in the period. As shown in
FMM system 150 may retrieve all mailing addresses for each recipient associated with each magazine to be distributed. For example, subscribers 812 and 816 are associated with Time™ magazine, so FMM system 150 retrieves the mailing addresses for the recipients associated with subscribers 812 and 816 for Time™ magazine.
FMM system 150 may then send magazine issue label file 835 to a distribution service, such as fulfillment unit 170 (step 840), for labeling or distribution. In certain embodiments, process 700 may help to shorten the wait time for a new subscriber to receive the first issue in a subscription, for example, from six or eight weeks to one or two weeks.
In one example, FMM system 150 may identify the magazines distributed each period, and allocate a share of revenue to the magazine companies for that period. FMM system 150 may first determine magazines associated with each flexible subscription management account (step 910). For example, FMM system 150 may include consumer 912, 914, and 916. Consumer 912 has Time™, Sports Illustrated™, Essence™, and Fortune™ magazines associated with her account. Consumer 914 has Essence™, Money™, Teen People™, and Real Simple™ magazines associated with her account. Consumer 916 has Time™, Fortune™, Money™, and InStyle™ magazines associated with her account. Consumers 912, 914, and 916 pay fees (e.g., $5 per month) for the flexible magazine management service. For example, the fees may be set according to the tiers shown in
Based on the number of magazines and the associated fees, FMM system 150 may calculate the appropriate share of revenue due to the magazines associated with each of the user accounts (step 920). For example, in the exemplary embodiment shown in
FMM system 150 may allocate the revenue to each magazine company based on its calculated share. Once revenue is allocated, magazine companies or publishers may receive their calculated share. FMM system 150 may generate reports based on the revenue allocation, for example each distribution period, and the reports may be used for auditing and accounting. One skilled in the art will recognize that FMM system 150 may collect various fees from each consumer and may distribute revenue to magazine companies at any time.
The flexible magazine management service may supply other products, such as newspapers, books, household goods, and other products, for example, any products purchased on a regular basis. Other embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. For example, consumers may use the flexible magazine management service to send gifts, read excerpts of magazines, view upcoming special issues, rate magazines, or chat about magazines. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the following claims.

WWE Diva Dawn Marie flashes bum when outfit is torn during fight
WWE Diva Dawn Marie suffered one of the worst wardrobe malfunctions ever in the company when her tight-fitting trousers were torn during a fight.
The iconic wrestler – fighting Torrie Wilson – was pinned when the disaster struck.
As she kicked out of the attempt, her outfit came apart.
Underneath, Dawn was wearing nothing but a tiny gold-coloured thong.
It was barely visible and her pert bum was revealed for the millions of fans to see.
The unfortunate incident occurred at the pay-per-view event Judgement Day in 2004.
Wilson – who would have been fired had she lost – ended up defeating Marie.
Marie – who left the WWE in 2005 – is perhaps most remembered for her controversial feud with her Judgement Day opponent.
As part of the storyline, she married Wilson's real-life father Al Wilson, before he "died" from a heart attack after having rigorous sex numerous times on their honeymoon.
But the former wrestler hasn't been the only one to have flashed the flesh during their time on WWE.
Rosa Mendes also revealed her lady humps when her pants were pulled down.
And iconic Diva Nikki Bella accidentally revealed her nipple during a fight.

A merchants cash advance has both positives and negatives. Imagine that you have a thriving retail business. Things are going well for you, and you have, among other things, a merchant account. This means that you have plenty of receivables in terms of credit and debit card transactions. Your business is positioned to grow, but in order to do that, it needs some kind of infusion of cash. In other words, it needs financing if it is going to really take off and get as big as it possibly can. It's very difficult for new businesses, especially, to obtain bank financing, because they don't have much history on which to base their request, and lenders therefore have no idea whether the business is a safe bet or not. This is a situation in which you might consider a merchants cash advance rather than a more traditional, conventional bank loan. Whether you qualify and whether that merchants cash advance depends on the nature of your business, your financial background, and the industry context in which you conduct your business.
When your business applies for a merchants cash advance, chances are pretty good that the company issuing the merchants cash advance will want to look at your account history, your past debit and credit card receipts, your bank statements, and so on. Your credit rating will come into play, good or bad, and so will your tax history, as well some other documentation. Past performance, as always, is the most reliable indicator of future performance. What the company issuing the cash advance is trying to determine, of course, is whether you can reasonably cover that advance and then pay it back. If your company is doing well and you have enough evidence that you will generate future sales that provide incentive for the company to issue the cash advance, you will likely qualify, and you will qualify relatively quickly. Getting your business that infusion of much needed cash in a lump sum is therefore relatively quick too. In some cases, it may even be possible to get a the cash same day, or within a single day of operation.
By contrast, if you apply for a bank loan, chances are again pretty good that bank will want to look at your account history, your past debit and credit card receipts, your bank statements, and so on. Your credit rating will come into play, good or bad, and so will your tax history, as well some other documentation. Past performance, as always, is the most reliable indicator of future performance. What the bank is trying to determine, of course, is whether you can reasonably cover that loan and then pay it back. And then you will wait.
And you will continue to wait. The process of reviewing your loan application can take weeks, and those weeks can stretch into months. There are times that, even if your business is doing very well, you may not qualify for the loan, and you will be denied the credit you desperately need to keep your business going. Well, the good news is, when you apply for a merchants cash advance, you are applying for something that is not a loan at all. You're not actually borrowing the funds from a bank. You are trading a percentage of your future sales for the lump sum of cash that you receive. You'll pay that percentage of future sales for the time that the advance is outstanding, and when you can finally repay the advance, the percentage of sales you are giving up will finally stop. Compare this to a bank loan, which has a specific schedule of set payments for a specific amount. A merchants cash advance, by contrast, is variable and repaid on a schedule that you determine based on your ability to pay. The amount taken from you in sales, because it is a percentage, varies depending on how well your business does. In the wake of the credit crunch of 2008, it's a fact that lots of businesses that might otherwise have been able to get credit no longer can, because the credit market has tightened up. Merchants cash advances are one way that those companies that could not otherwise acquire credit can get the cash infusions that they need to operate during cash-poor times.
PaymentPop had quite a bit to say on the topic of merchants cash advances: "Merchant cash advances have been gaining in popularity ever since the 2008 financial crisis, when banks tightened up their small business loan restrictions and business owners had to look elsewhere for funding. They've only recently become a mainstream issue, though, thanks to increased media coverage and mobile payments giant Square's decision to start offering a merchant cash advance service. Much like the cash advance programs offered by its competitors, Square Capital has quickly attracted its share of both praise and criticism from industry observers who disagree on whether these loans-that-aren't-really-loans are ethical. Are merchant cash advances simply scams that prey on desperate merchants, or are they a low-risk source of funding for business owners who can't secure loans from risk-averse banks? The answer is yes. Or no. It actually depends. [A merchants cash advance is] very similar to a loan, but it's technically different. This is where we encounter the main criticism of merchant cash advances: merchant cash advances are classified as "Purchases and Sales of Future Receivables" rather than as conventional loans, so they aren't subject to usury laws. Usury laws are in place to prevent predatory lenders from charging excessive fees or enforcing unfair repayment terms, and they're generally seen as a vital form of protection for borrowers. Those regulations don't apply to merchant cash advances, meaning that there are no limitations on the interest rates that can be attached to merchant cash advances. For instance, the maximum interest rate on a loan through the Small Business Administration (SBA) is 6%. Merchant cash advances, however, often have effective annual percentage rates (APRs) well over that amount. By the standards of a conventional small business loan, [the typical merchants cash advance interest rate] is astronomically expensive. But there are other features of a merchant cash advance that can make it an appealing option for some merchants. For one thing, cash advances are usually repaid through a seamless daily deposit of a portion of the merchant's credit card sales rather than in large monthly installments. So instead of setting aside a specific amount of savings each month for the impending loan payment, the merchant will simply give a percentage of each day's credit card sales to the merchant cash advance provider. …Although this form of repayment can take a serious chunk out of a business's daily revenue, the merchant has the comfort of knowing that the advance is automatically paid back in small increments on slow days or in large increments on busy days."
The article goes on, "Another key feature of merchant cash advances is that they usually come without the need for collateral or a personal guaranty. The merchant cash advance provider assumes the risk of the business failing when it purchases that business's future sales, so if the merchant's store goes under, the cash advance simply isn't repaid. Similarly, merchant cash advances don't usually require monthly minimum payments, fixed interest rates, business use restrictions, or strict repayment deadlines. This degree of flexibility can be enticing for merchants who don't wish to deal with the application and budgeting processes associated with traditional loans. Merchant cash advances aren't as dangerous as their critics claim, nor are they as safe as their defenders claim."
Among the risks and benefits of merchants cash advances are high effective APRs, as noted. These can far exceed what is considered legal or usurious for a more traditional source of financing like a bank loan. The percentage of future sales that is taken in exchange for the merchants cash advance reduces your overall business revenue, obviously, which takes money out of the business. This means that if you don't go with a reputable merchants cash advance provider, you are potentially dealing with a 'predatory" lender, and there may even be hidden fees involved.
"Most merchant cash advances are established either directly through a merchant account provider or through that provider's third-party affiliate," the article concludes. "Although it is necessary for credit card processors to work with merchant cash advance providers to correctly route credit card sales, it is their responsibility, not yours, to work out the method by which they will integrate their services. It is not recommended that you switch merchant account providers just to obtain a merchant cash advance." The piece goes on to point out that some providers use high-pressure, aggressive collection tactics, which just underscores the need to find a reputable firm like Infiniti Funding for your financial solution.
Trish Lindemood, meanwhile, writing for Denise O'Berry, says "Let's assume that your business takes in $20,000 in credit card receipts per month and a funding company is willing to purchase 20% of those receipts over the next 6 months. During that time period, you would be expected to take in $120,000 in credit card sales ($20,000 x 6 months). 20% of that amount would be $24,000 (this represents the amount the funding company agrees to buy from you). To determine the amount you would receive, the funding company would divide that amount by a factor rate (i.e. 1.30 for 6 months). Therefore, you would receive an upfront payment of approximately $18,461. ($24,000 divided by the factor rate of 1.30). The difference between the amount you pay back over the next 6 months ($24,000) and the amount you receive ($18,461) represents the FIXED COST of the money. In this case, the cost to use that money is $5,539. As you can see, it is an expensive form of business financing – and is not right for all businesses and all scenarios. However, there are a few benefits to consider before deciding if this form of funding is right for you: The funds are unsecured. This means that you don't have to pledge any personal collateral to obtain a Merchant Cash Advance. Therefore, if you go out of business through no fault of your own, the funding company is not going to come after your house, your car or other tangible assets. Note I said "no fault of your own" – in cases of fraud or deliberate non-payment, many funding companies will aggressively pursue repayment through whatever means necessary. A Merchant Cash Advance will not tie up your available credit – and won't show up on your credit report. This is because this product is NOT a loan. Instead, it is classified as a 'True Sale' – meaning that an asset (your future credit card sales) was traded in exchange for monetary consideration. The funding company isn't lending you anything – they bought something of value from you instead.
Lindemood goes on, "Payments are automatic. They are collected each day as you batch out your credit card transactions as you normally would. Therefore, you don't have to write out a check each month – or worry about accruing late or missed payment penalties. They are available to many business types that have a difficult time obtaining traditional bank financing, including restaurants and younger businesses without an established credit history.
As with any decision you make in your business, the choice to use a Merchant Cash Advance should come down to the potential Return on Investment (ROI). If there are less expensive options available to you and your business, by all means explore them first. If not, the most important question to ask yourself when considering a Merchant Cash Advance is 'Can I take this money and use it to make more money than it cost me to use it?' If the answer is yes, this option may be worth exploring further." Contact Infiniti Funding today for more information concerning a merchants cash advance. Let us tailor your solution.

text: Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) is the latest Member to report receiving threatening correspondence surrounding the debate on health care, according to his chief of staff. Hostile e-mails were sent to the Cohen for Congress campaign Web site, Marilyn Dellihay said. "It has been reported to the Capitol Police and also to the FBI office in Memphis," she said. Dellihay confirmed that the e-mail was sent from a Yahoo.com address that said, "If our tea parties had hoods, we would burn your ass on a cross on the White House front lawn." The comments came after Cohen insinuated in a radio interview that the tea party movement is like the Ku Klux Klan, but "without robes and hoods." "They have really shown a very hardcore, angry side of America that is against any type of diversity," Cohen said on the "Young Turks" Internet radio program. "And we saw opposition to African-Americans, hostility toward gays, hostility to anybody who wasn't just, you know, a clone of [ex-Alabama Gov.] George Wallace's fan club. And I'm afraid they've taken over the Republican Party." Dellihay said: "I think the Congressman, because he was on that show last weekend and spoke frankly, he has gotten to be a lighting rod on this." She said the campaign has received several other threatening e-mails that have been reported to police. She said security has been ramped up for the Congressman as he travels Tennessee this week during Congressional recess. "We're making sure that the local law enforcement is aware of where he is," she said. "The FBI and the locals are very aware of his travel schedule." Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider declined to comment because of the ongoing investigation.

Original paper
Diagenetic mordenite from Ponza, Italy
Passaglia, Elio; Artioli, Gilberto; Gualtieri, Alessandrο; Carnevali, Roberta
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 7 Number 2 (1995), p. 429 - 438
40 references
published: Mar 29, 1995
manuscript accepted: Oct 26, 1994
manuscript received: Jun 8, 1994
DOI: 10.1127/ejm/7/2/0429
ArtNo. ESP147050702017, Price: 29.00 €
Abstract Diagenetically altered rhyolitic rocks consisting of major mordenite and minor cristobalite and smectite occur beneath a thick (about 90 m) smectite-rich layer in an abandoned quarry at Cala Fontana, in the northwestern part of the Ponza Island (Thyrrenian Sea, Gulf of Gaeta). The structure of the mordenite was refined by full-profile Rietveld analysis on X-ray powder diffraction data. Quantitative mineralogical analysis of the specimen having the highest zeolite content from the Rietveld-refined phase-scale factors yield: mordenite 72.8 %, smectite 2.0 %, cristobalite 5.9 %, illite 3.0 %, sanidine 13.9 %, augite 2.4 %. The chemical composition of the mordenite from electron microprobe analysis resulted in a content of tetrahedral atoms [Si/(Si + Al) = 0.83] in agreement with the range (0.80-0.85) known for this zeolite. Both the chemical analysis and the structure refinement showed a high K content among the extraframework cations. The assemblage of the authigenic minerals is interpreted as the result of diagenetic alteration of the rhyolitic glass by meteoric or ground water in an hydrologically open system, and the crystallization of mordenite instead of the most common smectite is interpreted as due to locally high pH conditions.

Council of Ministers rules on adoption of eInvoicing- 16/08/2005
The Council of Ministers Resolution nº 137/2005, published in the 17th August Diário da República, states that by the 31st December 2006, the public services and organisms that are directly and indirectly part of the State administration shall issue invoices or equivalent documents by electronic means and shall give preference to receiving invoices by electronic means also. Knowledge Society Agency (UMIC) was selected to monitor and assess the execution of this resolution.
Council of Ministers Resolution n.º 137/2005, DR N.º 157, I Series B, of 17th August
Establishing the adoption of the eInvoicing system by the Public Administrations services and bodies.
The XVII Constitutional Governments Programme set mobilising Portugal for the Information Society as one of its objectives. In this respect, the Government intends to invest in making Information and Communication Technologies widely available for the development of Portuguese society.
In actual fact, use of Information and Communication Technologies contributes decisively to the development of eCommerce, which is crucial in terms of ensuring the national economys competitiveness.
In this regard, it is essential that the practice of issuing and receiving invoices electronically becomes widespread. Virtual invoices are vital for the life of companies and State and to increase eCommerce in general.
At the legislative level, and more precisely with a view to fostering the expansion of eCommerce, the legal framework for eInvoicing has been laid out. In 1999, with approval from Decree Law nº 375/99, of 18th September, it was established that paper and electronic invoices are equally valid. In 2003. following adoption of Directive nº 2001/115/EC, of the Council, of 20th December, amending Directive nº 77/388/EEC, of the Council, of 17th May, regarding the common system of value added tax (VAT), Decree Law nº 256/2003, of 21st October, was approved. This transposed the said directive into national law, with a view to simplifying, modernising and harmonising the conditions applicable to invoicing for VAT. This decree law revoked Decree Law nº 375/99, as well as the respective regulation (Regulatory Decree nº 16/2000 , of 2nd October, and Rule nº 52/2002, of 12th January).
Bearing in mind the States weight in the eCommerce field, it is now time for the Public Administration to adopt the eInvoicing system, where operations can be electronically processed, and show preference for receiving invoices electronically for operations carried out as a purchaser of goods and services.
By switching to this system, it is hoped this will act as a catalyst for public and private companies to follow suite.
In the terms of paragraph g) of article 199 of the Constitution, the Council of Ministers resolves to:
- Stipulate that by 31st December 2006, the public services and organisms that are directly and indirectly part of the State administration shall implement the necessary mechanisms enabling invoices or equivalent documents to be issued by electronic means, where operations can be electronically processed, as per the law.
- Stipulate that from 1st January 2007, the bodies mentioned in the previous number, as suppliers and purchasers of goods and services, shall, where operations can be electronically processed, issue invoices or equivalent documents by electronic means, as per the law, except where the recipient shows a manifest interest in having the invoice or equivalent document issued in paper form, and also shall give preference to receiving said documents electronically, as per the law.
- Stipulates that UMIC - Knowledge Society Agency, I.P., shall monitor and assess the execution of this resolution, keeping the Government regularly informed of developments, via the Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education.
- Stipulates that the bodies referred to in nº 1 shall submit the calendar for measures to be applied to conform with the provisions of this resolution to UMIC - Knowledge Society Agency, I.P. within a maximum of six months.
- For the effects of the provisions of nº 2, the bodies mentioned in nº 1 shall inform their clients and suppliers of the adoption of the eInvoicing system and their preference in terms of receiving invoices or equivalent documents by electronic means at least three months before the system is to start.
Presidency of the Council of Ministers, 29th July 2005, the Prime Minister, José Sócrates Carvalho Pinto de Sousa.

I know that in the state of Texas, they changed the law. That no matter how much you make you do qualify for Medicaid. They changed that law about a year and a half ago when i got pregnant with my son. They were about to tell me that i didn't qualify...but i got lucky because the day before the new law went into effect. I think that many states are like that now. As long as you are pregnant they can't deniy you. The only thing is that you need to find some sort of planed parenthood because you have to show a letter stating that you are pregnant to the medicaid office (that is what i had to do for my son and daughter. I was on it with both of my kids.) Also you can try googling for your deparntment of health services and there should be a number you can call. Also see if you have a toll free number that you can call for information. I know that here in texas all we have to do is call 211 and they give us information on wic, medicaid, daycare assistants, etc. Good luck and i hope you find out the information that you need.
