So how does it work? When someone searches for your church or school in Google, you'll now have the ability to customize the listing on Google Maps that often pops up as the top result. You'll be able to feature your website, social media accounts, photos, contact info, and videos. And not only will people be able to rate and review your parish, but you'll be able to respond to those reviews.
You'll need a Google (or Gmail) account.
If you don't already have one setup for your parish/school, do that first (don't use your personal account). Just head to Google Places and click the orange "Sign Up" button.
Once you're logged in, click the "List your Business" button.
Enter the parish/school's phone number to see if it is already listed in Google Places. If so, you'll be able to personalize the listing with your details. If not, you'll be able to create a new listing.
Street address, description, email, website, and categories (it's important for search engine rank that you choose accurate categories–make sure one of your choices is Google's default suggestion). When writing your description, it's important to: a) include top keywords – church, Catholic, parish, school, etc; b) make sure your description is welcoming and inviting to potential parishioners/visitors.
Google has a verification process to ensure you are the legitimate representative of the place you're registering.
It's easy, just make sure the phone number or address you submit is the same the contact information on your map listing. When you receive your PIN (by phone or mail), just enter it into your Google Places.
Once your verification is complete (your page is showing up on Google Map and listed as "owner verified"), it's time to use your Places page to improve your search engine rank.
How do I do that? It's simple: add content to your Places page. Pictures, videos, and details are key. And when it comes to photos, make sure you use images that are clear and relevant because they may appear in the Google search results next to your listing.
How are you using your Google Places page?


Siegecraft: Stay OUT of the Ring!
The Weakest Generation came back from World War II (they were the only people who ever fought a war you know. Also, the Weakest Generation and the Jews were the only people who ever SUFFERED).
Fifty percent of them then went to college on the GI Bill of Rights.
Only a generation that had been through Obedience Training in the formative years of their lives could have let professors dig every morsel of decency out of them.
It was a generation that had learned nothing but to take orders. Before the Weakest Generation took over Americans thought of themselves as part of the great Indo- European migration which had rolled from (I think) what is now the Black Sea across Europe and across India. We were just beginning to learn the full extent of the effects of this migration when all research on this subject was banned in the name of Hitler.
You do not ask a person with a healthy mind to justify his own existence. You may discuss the meaning of life whether life is worth living, but you don't INTERNALIZE that discussion.
Since the Weakest Generation made the end of the white race the highest moral goal of our society, we need to ask how a healthy mind would deal with any OTHER academic discussion on suicide.
When you have a classroom discussion of the meaning of life or whether life is worth living, you do not decide on the basis of that discussion whether you should go home and slit your throat.
The Weakest Generation, having heard the professors explain why their race was evil, proceeded to go home and cut its throat.
The Weakest Generation, given its order, ceased to be white, they ceased to be Americans of the old sort. They ceased to be loyal to themselves and became loyal only to the words their professors gave them.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, in discussing his own survival in the Gulag, keeps putting these words into italics: ***" an individual point of view***" Solzhenitsyn is a Russian because he is a Russian.
He keeps emphasizing how those who had to JUSTIFY their feelings of loyalty and decency could not stand up to a Marxist state.
The second you start justifying yourself to a Wordist, you become weak. No matter how strongly you feel about your particular faith in your particular set of words, the Wordist is now judge and jury.
The second you start digging into the Book of Leviticus to justify your condemnation of homosexuality you are lost.
I oppose Gay Lib because I cannot say that homosexuality is a legitimate life-style. If homosexuality is a legitimate life-style then a homosexual has as much right to try to make young people homosexuals as a Baptist does to try to make them Baptists.
I have the same objection to homosexuality as I have to worship of sterility that Christianity inherited from degenerate Zoroastrianism: it is genetic suicide. A man who tries to make young people into monks is as evil in my opinion as a homosexual who tries to make young people into homosexuals.
My prejudices/preferences come from a far firmer foundation than the latest Wordism. Or the Oldest Wordism.
My individual point of view tells me what I WANT. I NEVER try to justify survival or freedom.
Words are a MEANS for me to obtain what I want. The minute you let someone use words to TELL you what you WANT, you become a slave.
Homosexuals say they want to be left alone. That is fine if they observe exactly the same rule. I do not understand homosexuals, but I also do not understand why anybody would want to be a vegetarian.
Homosexuals and people who like veggies must not try to impose the program of Gay Lib or PETA on me. They have no right to threaten what I care about.
The Weakest Generation forgot the words, "Who the HELL do you think you are?" They were trained in taking orders.
By "himself" I mean his individual point of view, his LOYALTIES. This is the rock on which libertarianism has foundered.
Ayn Rand, LeFevre and all the other libertarian Wordists tried to show that their words would take care of everything. They said that if you follow their words, then there will be no violence, no force, everyone will be free to do what he has a right to do.
The Weakest Generation gave up being men.


A small Ohio village has a big claim to fame: Fredericktown is the birthplace of the FFA jacket.
Agriculture educator J.H. (Gus) Lintner commissioned a jacket for members of the local FFA chapter to wear to the 1933 National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Mo., as part of their FFA band uniform. The iconic blue and gold design was so popular that it was adopted as the Official Dress of FFA members.
In honor of its role in FFA history, Fredericktown was selected by the Ohio Historical Society to receive an Ohio Historical Marker for being home of the FFA jacket. The plaque was unveiled at Fredericktown High School in September. Neil Overly and Linden Scheff, both members of the FFA band who wore the jacket at the 1933 national convention, were in attendance.
FFA jackets are built and personalized in Van Wert, Ohio. See how at FFA.org/FFAJacket.

polish insomniac: Ring in the Red and Glittering Garland: this year's Ruby Pumps and Emerald Sparkle???
Ring in the Red and Glittering Garland: this year's Ruby Pumps and Emerald Sparkle???
This year China Glaze brought us two new versions of much loved favorites: Ruby Pumps and Emerald Sparkle. I was surprised to find that I like these as much as the originals!
Ring in the Red is a different formula than Red Ruby Pumps. Instead of all the same size glitter, it is comprised of small red glitter with random pieces of large glitter. The base is clear in both. The glitter is much denser in Ruby Pumps, so Ring in the Red required more coats – but oh so worth it!
Glittering Garland is so very close to Emerald Sparkle. It could be said you don't need both – but if you are as obsessed with polish as I am, you probably already bought it. The best thing about China Glaze Glittering Garland? Super easy to remove with no staining!
You will find these wherever China Glaze is sold. I purchased mine at UTLA, where they are B2G1 FREE.

The Chinese government and the billionaire founders of the online marketplace Alibaba are sending 1,000 ventilators to New York City; they are expected to arrive at JFK Airport today, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. In addition, Oregon has said the state will send 140 ventilators to the city, ABC News reported.
—The 1,000-bed Navy ship hospital, the USNS Comfort, was tasked with helping the NYC health care system by caring for non-COVID-19 patients; however, on Thursday (April 2), just 20 patients were onboard because of the harsh criteria for who could and could not be treated there. That should change with updated guidelines: "Screening for care on the USNS Comfort will be modified and will now occur pier-side in an effort to reduce the backlog at some of the nearby New York hospitals. The screening effort for the USNS Comfort will no longer require a negative test, but each patient will still be screened by temperature and a short questionnaire," the U.S. Department of Defense said in a statement.
—Hundreds of service members cheered for the recently ousted Navy captain, Brett Crozier, who was relieved of his command after sending a letter asking for help due to an outbreak of COVID-19 on the carrier, Live Science reported.
—Two parishes in Louisiana, in the New Orleans area, have the highest COVID-19 death rate per capita in the United States, according to The Wall Street Journal. For instance, St. John the Baptist Parish has a death rate per capita of nearly 40 virus-related deaths per 100,000 people; Orleans Parish has a death rate from the virus of nearly 38 per 100,000 individuals, the WSJ reported.

Tales From Both Sides of the Brain
New book by Michael Gazzaniga chronicles his 50-year career in neuroscience and split-brain research
By Robyn Norwood
TalesfromBoth hc c (2).jpg
Mike head shot E (3)jpg.jpg
Michael Gazzaniga
When Michael Gazzaniga began working on the latest of his many books, he expected to write a scientific review of the last 50 years of the study of the split brain, work that added to the understanding of what many of us know as the left brain and the right brain.
What Gazzaniga, director of the SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind, soon realized was that one of the best stories he could tell was his own, in the form of a memoir: "Tales From Both Sides of the Brain: A Life in Neuroscience" (Ecco/HarperCollins, 2015).
"What became interesting to me was that a life in science is not this lonely, austere thing. Instead, you're getting ideas from others. It's a very social process," said Gazzaniga, also a professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.
"I think, in a way, people who are teetering on going into a life in science versus one in medicine or other ways of spending a life associated with science, they think it's going to be isolated or it's going to be lonely. It's just not true," he said. "I hope a lot of students who read this will understand you can keep all these other activities that make for a rich life outside the lab, and that's part of what makes for a great life inside the lab."
Gazzaniga's tales include the intense and giddy early days of his academic career at the California Institute of Technology, where he earned his Ph.D. in psychobiology in 1964. While at Caltech, Gazzaniga conducted experiments under Roger Sperry, who later shared the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in split-brain research, studying subjects with a severed corpus callosum. The corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres of the brain.
Gazzaniga's work has earned him renown as one of the fathers of cognitive neuroscience, and his book predictably attracted the attention of the scholarly journal "Nature."
The study of the brain is complicated stuff, of course, as are some of the issues Gazzaniga has been asked to address. As a member of The President's Council on Bioethics under George W. Bush, he contributed to the discussion about ethical issues related to stem cells.
"What is the moral status of an embryo and should we really confer on it the status of an adult? There, bam, the first question," Gazzaniga said. "What is a 14-day-old blastocyst? Is it a brain? No, the brain isn't there yet. Are you really going to confer this status on a brainless group of cells? You realize neuroscience has to have a posture."
The advances in the understanding of the brain over the more than 50 years Gazzaniga has studied it boggle the mind — both hemispheres. What lies ahead, he can only imagine.
"What's happening is there's an explosion coming of technological advances. You hear this all the time and it's true: The computational capacity for analyzing complex data is exploding," he said. "My guess is a scientific paper written 20 years from now will sound and read completely differently because of the changes going on in the field."
However, Gazzaniga said, the goals ultimately remain what they long have been: "How does the brain make us who we are? That mental life that we all enjoy, how is it all built?"

The Alchemator Opens New Markets for Brewers
NEW BERLIN, Wisc. – Early adopters of the Alchemator, ProBrew's new inline alcohol separator, like what they're seeing as they expand their taproom and retail offerings. Nick Reistad of Raised Grain Brewing, Waukesha, Wisc., says the hard seltzer they've made with their Alchemator "tastes great. It's really clean and crisp."
Justin McKellar, general manager of Equals Brewing in London, Ontario, purchased an Alchemator after beginning his search for an non-alcoholic (NA) beer solution over a year ago: "I'm excited about making a great tasting NA beer with the Alchemator. This is going to allow us to take our recipes and make them even better."
Hard Seltzer: Welcoming to Everybody
"If you'd asked me five years ago, as we were writing the business plan, if we were going to be brewing a clear hard seltzer, I would have laughed and told you about some IPA we wanted to do," Reistad admits (and we know he's not alone). But breweries are businesses, and businesses have to think about their customers.
"We want to be welcoming to everybody that chooses to come in [to our taproom], but not everybody drinks beer, and that's just the reality," Reistad explains. "Now, we're embracing it and using it as an opportunity to reach more people with our brand."
ProBrew and Raised Grain have had a symbiotic relationship for years, now, and ProBrew approached them with the Alchemator in the summer of 2019 to see if they could work together on developing and perfecting the technology.
Raised Grain had already been exploring hard seltzers and jumped at the opportunity. They had experience with ProBrew's quality and reliability, and they liked that they could start with a beer rather than playing around with simple syrups
Reistad says they wanted to play it by the book vis-à-vis the TTB and their license: "We brew it as a beer; based on the TTB's definition we have to use a small amount of hops. But the process we use [i.e., the Alchemator's membrane filtration technology] results in a completely clear base that's devoid of flavor."
With the Alchemator, the biggest problem they faced was fine-tuning their flavors. "You have to have the right combinations," Reistad says. "We had tasting panels and brought in people, both seltzer drinkers and non-seltzer drinkers."
They launched their seltzers in four flavors: cherry-lime, mango, mandarin orange, and key lime. "The best were simple flavors rather than complex combinations," Reistad notes.
NA Beers: Adapting to Consumer Tastes
Equals Brewing is a contract brewer and co-packer with a unique emphasis on customer partnerships. In other words, they don't just fulfill orders. As McKellar puts it, "We support our partners right from the innovation stage all the way through to getting it delivered to the retailer. We believe that a true partnership comes from us wanting your business to be successful."
In addition to expertise, support, and their lab, Equals offers small brewers a means of achieving quality and consistency at scale: they run a 35 hL brewhouse and an industrial-scale canning line. In their first 18 months of operation, Equals worked with over 30 brewery partners on over 75 recipes.
As consumer tastes have changed, Equals's partners have requested a greater variety of beverage capabilities, and Equals has responded by branching out into alcoholic ciders, ready to drink (RTD) cocktails, and, now, NA beers. "The issue we've found is that the quality of beers in the [NA] segment is pretty low outside of the mainstream lager," McKellar reports. He set out to answer a specific question: "How do you make beer that doesn't have that asterisk behind it—'Oh, that tastes good … for an NA beer'?"
McKellar didn't like what he saw in thermal alcohol separators; the use of heat tends to change the taste of the final product for the worse. Not only that, but adding a vacuum distillation unit would have implications for his entire line, particularly in his heating and cooling capacity.
He learned about membrane separation from a fellow brewer and liked the product he tried, then discovered ProBrew's Alchemator in his research.
McKellar was savvy enough to look past ProBrew's own marketing, which targeted the hard seltzer market; he knew how the machine worked and that it would produce a substrate for creating high-quality, flavorful NA beers: "Most people want the permeate [the alcohol and water that permeates the membrane]," he says, "where I actually want the retentate [the concentrated beer that bypasses the membrane]."
Membrane Separation Technology
The Alchemator uses membrane separation technology. Liquid is pumped through what is essentially a filter which only alcohol and water molecules can pass through. As ProBrew president Derek Deubel tells it, they had already been expanding into craft cider, kombucha, coffee, and CBD-infused beverages when they began to explore NA beers. "We found an expired patent with this membrane technology and thought, 'Why don't we use this as a basis for developing and innovating our own thing?'" he says.
ProBrew mechanical process engineer Joe Kulakowski describes the main challenge as selecting the right pore size in the membrane. "You want to optimize flow rate of alcohol and water out without allowing anything else to pass through," he says. "You also want more pressure and more flow without beating up the beer too much."
When they ran an early prototype and realized they were getting crystal-clear hard seltzer in addition to their concentrated beer, Deubel knew they were on to something."If we can sell our customers one machine that can produce two products, then that's a big win for everyone," Deubel says. "The big thing we've noticed from the membrane is it doesn't heat up the beer," Kulakowski emphasizes. "You maintain a lot more of the beer flavor through this method."
The hard seltzer base produced by the Alchemator can be flavored as well as have additional carbonation added to it, whereas the concentrated beer (the retentate) can be repurposed for use in distilling or making NA beers. ProBrew developed the DA-5 and the DA-10 Reconstitution/Water Deaeration systems, which can be paired with the Alchemator, for this latter purpose. The DA-5 (5 gallons per minute) and the DA-10 (10 gallons per minute) deaerates the water to keep DO levels low in the reconstituted NA beer.
What about other alcoholic beverages? Kulakowski says that in their tests with wine, ciders, and kombucha, each has worked to produce hard water on one end and a concentrated NA base on the other. Different beverages do require adjustments to the flow rate, however.
Less than one year into the Alchemator's release, breweries are feeling free to explore their options. Raised Grain will put their seltzers into 16 oz. cans to fit them alongside their beer offerings. They're also going for ABVs closer to beer, with their Diamond Hard Seltzer at 5% and their Black Diamond at 7.5%.
As a co-packer, Equals works to meet their customer-partners' goals, whether that's 12 oz., sleek, or 16 oz. cans. Their main focus is on creating a quality product. "There are a lot of people joining the market," McKellar notes, "and as people try [NA beers] and it's not good, they get turned off. We found the membrane method gave us the best chance at creating the best NA craft beer with a great flavor that won't have that asterisk beside it."
In other words, the Alchemator has been good news for people making NA beers and hard seltzers. As Reistad puts it, the Alchemator "allowed us to take the product that we're comfortable brewing and separate it out and have just the clean seltzer base that we want—and then it's a blank canvas."
"We're only scratching the surface of what the Alchemator can do," says Deubel, "and it's really our customers that are showing us the possibilities. We're very excited to see what people make with this machine."

I could not be happier about the upholstered pieces that I promised to share with you in this post. I love when things turn out prettier than expected. I was expecting pretty, but I got pleasantly prettier!
Still more to come... I am DYING to recarpet this room. In the beginning, I loved that brown wool - it reminded me of sisal, but soft. Now I think it's drab and dark. I have a lovely carpet picked out, but I'm too chicken to order. I'll have to keep thinking and analyzing a bit longer. I also have 3 benches in my hallway and bath area that will be getting reupholstered very soon... will share when those are back!
Love all of your new upholstered pieces! I'm especially loving the toile mixed with the burlap! Looks wonderful!
Just a beautiful room. Your selections of material on everything is perfect!
The bedroom is looking so cozy and elegant. The mix of fabrics make it interesting and not 'matchy matchy'.
That little French table will just finish the room off nicely. Happy hunting for the perfect one.
Beautiful, Jan! I love the toile.
Love the warm, cozy colors you are using. So many people are taking the "safe" neutral gray and white route these days. I think your look will stand the test of time.
BTW - we have a golden wheat colored carpet throughout our house. It goes with just about everything except pink and gray.
I adore toile of any kind! Mixed with checks it is even better. Can't wait to see the table you find to go between the chairs!


A system and method for dynamically creating a sample of multimedia content for preview by a user of a mobile terminal involves providing a first set of parameters associated with a size of a preview sample of the multimedia content, and providing a second set of parameters associated with composition of the preview sample. A preview sample is dynamically extracted from the multimedia content using the respective first and second parameter sets. A mobile terminal specific preview sample of the multimedia content is generated using the extracted preview sample for transmission to a specific mobile terminal.
FIG. 6 illustrates an MMS push environment within which a dynamic multimedia previewing system and method of the present invention may be practiced.
Turning now to the figures, and more particularly to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a block diagram of a system  100 for providing a dynamically created preview sample of multimedia content for presentation at a mobile terminal in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The system 100 is shown to include a content server or gateway 101 which communicates with a mobile terminal 120. In this configuration, voice, data, audio, motion video, visual, music, and other multimedia information and content is communicated between the sever/gateway 101 and mobile terminal 120. In addition, and as will be discussed in detail hereinbelow, the server/gateway 101 provides for the generation of a preview sample in accordance with the present invention which is delivered to the mobile terminal 120 via a mobile network.
The server/gateway  101 includes a manager module 104 which is coupled to a profile database 110 and a multimedia content source 112. The profile database 110 typically stores profile information concerning subscribers and mobile terminals of the subscribers. A typical mobile terminal profile, for example, includes information concerning the multimedia capabilities of a given mobile terminal. The multimedia content source 112 provides archival and real-time multimedia content, which may be made available to the mobile terminal 120 via the server/gateway 101. The multimedia content source may, for example, provide storage for a diverse variety of multimedia content, such as audio, motion video, visual, and music programming, and combinations of these and other multimedia content types. The multimedia content source 112 may also provide live or quasi-live feed from a content provider, such as a broadcaster of news, entertainment, and the like. Accordingly, the multimedia content source 112 can provide both pre-produced and live multimedia content to the server/gateway 101.
In general, the manager module  104 coordinates the activities of the server/gateway 101 and the interaction with the profile database 110 and multimedia content source 112. The manager module 104 also coordinates communications between the server/gateway 101 and the mobile terminal 120. The manager module 104 obtains information from both the mobile terminal 120 and the profile database 110 when dynamically creating a preview sample extracted from a selected multimedia program or message provided by the multimedia content source 112 for transmission to a specific mobile terminal 120. In one embodiment, the manager module 104 cooperates with a secured access module 106 to package the multimedia preview sample with access, usage, and/or distribution rights.
In FIG. 2, there is illustrated in flow diagram form several processes involving the creation and delivery of a multimedia preview sample in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, one or more size parameters associated with a multimedia preview sample to be created are provided  200. One or more parameters concerning the composition of the multimedia preview sample are also provided 202. Using the size and composition parameters, a preview sample is dynamically extracted 204 from the subject multimedia content. A customized preview sample is generated 206 using the extracted preview sample. The customized preview sample may represent a formatted version of the extracted preview sample appropriate for a given mobile terminal, and may further include usage or distribution rights (i.e., rules limiting usage and/or distribution). The customized preview sample is transmitted 208 to the mobile terminal for previewing by the user.
According to one implementation, and with continued reference to FIG. 1, the manager module  104 accesses the profile database 110 and the requesting mobile terminal 120 to obtain a first set of parameters associated with a size of a preview sample to be produced. The manager module 104 also accesses the profile database 110 and the requesting mobile terminal 120 to obtain a second set of parameters associated with the composition of the preview sample to be produced. Using the respective first and second parameter sets, the manager module 104 adaptively extracts the preview sample from the multimedia content and generates a terminal specific preview sample of the multimedia content using the extracted preview sample. The terminal specific preview sample is then transmitted to the mobile terminal 120 for previewing by the user.
FIG. 3 illustrates several processes involving the creation and delivery of a multimedia preview sample in accordance with a further embodiment of the present invention. According to one approach, referred to herein as a browsing approach, the mobile terminal  120 transmits 300 a preview signal to the manager module 104 to initiate generation of a multimedia preview sample. According to another approach, referred to herein as a messaging service push (e.g., Multimedia Message Server (MMS) push) approach, a messaging service delivers 300 a preview notification to a user's mobile terminal 120. As such, a preview signal or message, which can take many forms, can be produced by the mobile terminal 120 and transmitted to the server/gateway 101. Alternatively, the preview signal can be produced by the server/gateway 101 and transmitted to the mobile terminal 120.
Upon receiving a preview request signal from the mobile terminal  120, the manager module 104 accesses 302 size and composition parameters associated with the multimedia preview sample to be generated. Typically, the size and composition parameters include both pre-defined and dynamically determined parameters that govern the preview sample extraction process. The manager module 104 dynamically generates 304 a customized preview sample of the user or server selected multimedia content using the size and composition parameters. The manager module 104 coordinates transmission 306 of the customized preview sample from the server/gateway 101 to the mobile terminal 120.
In one approach, a media playback resource of the mobile terminal  120 is automatically launched when the mobile terminal 120 receives the customized preview sample. Alternatively, the user may be notified that the preview sample is ready for presentation via an aural, visual, or tactile indicator. The customized preview sample is played 308 at the mobile terminal 120. If the user does not wish to view the full or additional multimedia content associated with customized preview sample, the sample may be discarded (e.g., deleted from memory). The user may alternatively store the preview sample for subsequent playback and consideration. The user may also select 310 all or a portion of the multimedia content associated with the customized preview sample for downloading to the mobile terminal 120.
The selected multimedia content can then be downloaded  312 to the mobile terminal 120 for immediate or subsequent playback by the user. If the provider of the multimedia content charges a fee for the downloaded content (e.g., the content is not the user's personal content or free content), a charge is accrued 314 to the user's account for the download. The fees attributed to a particular mobile terminal 120 may be stored in the user's (subscriber's) profile stored in the profile database 110.
FIG. 4 is a chart that provides various parameters  402 that influence the process of extracting a multimedia preview sample according to an embodiment of the present invention. The parameters described in FIG. 4 are representative of various factors that govern the extraction and optimization processes associated with a multimedia preview sample produced for transmission to, and playback by, a specific mobile terminal. The parameters impacting multimedia preview sample production include one or more pre-defined parameters and one or more dynamically assessed parameters. The acquisition and use of such parameters, particularly the dynamic parameters, provides for the production of a multimedia preview sample that is optimized and customized for a particular requesting mobile terminal.
The parameters described in FIG. 4 include pre-defined and dynamic parameters that influence the size and composition of the multimedia preview sample to be generated. In the particular embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a first set of parameters  404 impacts the size of the multimedia preview sample, while a second set of parameters 406 impacts the composition of the multimedia preview sample. Each of the first and second sets of parameters in this non-limiting illustrative example includes a pre-defined parameter and a dynamic parameter.
The first set of parameters  404 impacting the size of the multimedia preview sample includes a maximum downloading cost parameter. Alternatively, or in addition, the downloading parameter may be expressed as a maximum downloading time parameter. These pre-defined costtime parameters are typically set by the service/content provider or the mobile terminal user.
The first set of parameters  404 also includes a bit rate value, which is considered a dynamic parameter. In general, the optimal size of a multimedia preview sample can be determined in part, or entirely, using the bit rate value that affects downloading time between the server/gateway and the mobile terminal. In one embodiment, the optimal size of the multimedia preview sample can be determined using the bit rate value of the PDP context, which is a logical connection between the mobile terminal and the gateway. The bit rate value, which affects downloading time, is considered a more important or sensitive parameter for usability in the browsing approach than in the messaging service push approach.
A useful value to use for optimizing the size of the multimedia preview sample is the E2E (end-to-end QoS) mean value. The E2E mean value can be queried from the user profile (API) of a 3G (3 rd generation) mobile terminal, such as a MEXe (Mobile Station Application Execution Environment (GSM 02.57)) terminal. It is noted that MEXe defines a framework to ensure a predictable environment for third-party applications in GSM or UMTS mobile terminals. MEXe does this by defining different technology requirements called, referred to as "classmarks." MEXe classmark 1, for example, is based on WAP, and classmark 2 is based on PersonalJava and JavaPhone. Other classmarks may be defined in future MEXe specifications. MEXe specifies additional requirements for all classmarks, for instance a security environment, capability and content negotiation, a user profile, user interface personalization, management of services and virtual home environment. A MEXe mobile terminal can support any number of classmarks.
The second set of parameters  406 impacting the extraction of the multimedia preview sample includes composition rules, which are considered pre-defined parameters. Composition rules are typically defined by the service/content provider. The composition rules can be global or item specific in terms of application. A composition rule, by way of example, may specify the position of the preview sample within the subject multimedia content item or track. The composition rules may define a starting index and an ending index of the subject multimedia content, such that the preview sample represents a portion of the subject multimedia content extracted between the starting and ending indices.
The second set of parameters  406 also includes a multimedia capability parameter, which is considered a dynamic parameter. The capabilities of various mobile terminals to play/view multimedia preview clips (i.e., samples) may differ significantly. As such, the multimedia capabilities of a specific mobile terminal have to be determined in order to adapt and transfer a multimedia preview clip to a subscriber. The multimedia capabilities of a specific mobile terminal may be queried from a profile database or from negotiation with the mobile terminal.
FIG. 5 illustrates a WEB server environment within which a dynamic multimedia previewing system and method of the present invention may be practiced. The system  500 shown in FIG. 5 is an exemplary system that supports browsing of multimedia content by a mobile terminal 502. The system 500 depicted in FIG. 5 includes an intranet 550 of a service provider, a mobile network 520, and a mobile terminal 502. It is noted that the modules and other elements shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are preferably implemented in software, but may be implemented in a combination of hardware and software.
The mobile terminal  502 preferably provides for browsing of multimedia content, such as voice, audio (music, ringing tones, etc.), images, and video. The mobile terminal 502 may, for example, employ a visual WAP (e.g., WML/xHTML) browser 508. As shown, the mobile terminal 502 includes a media player 504 and supports an MMS client 506. The mobile network 520 communicates with the service provider intranet 550 via a GGSN 522.
The service provider intranet  550 is shown to include a WEB server 552. The WEB server 552 includes a manager module 554, a packaging/delivery module 556, and a DRM (Digital Rights Management) module 558. The service provider intranet 550 further includes a WAP gateway 560, a subscriber/terminal profile database 592, and a multimedia content source 590.
In practice, a WAP session is initiated, during which a user requests a multimedia preview sample or clip using the mobile terminal  502. The user may, for example, browse a listing of multimedia programs and messages, select a particular program or message, and depress a preview button for the selected program or message. In response to the user request, the manager module 554 of the service provider intranet 550 communicates with the mobile terminal 502 and the subscriber/terminal profile database 592 to obtain various pre-defined and dynamic parameters used to the generate an optimal preview sample.
For example, the manager module  554 obtains predefined parameters including one or both of the maximum downloading time/cost and preview sample composition rules. The manager module 554 also obtains dynamic parameters including the bit rate value and multimedia capabilities of the user's specific mobile terminal 502 (e.g., available decoders). Having accessed the subject multimedia program or message from the multimedia content source 590, the manager module 554 generates an optimal preview sample using the pre-defined and dynamic parameters obtained from the mobile terminal 502 and the subscriber/terminal profile database 592.
The packaging/delivery module  556 handles packaging and delivery of the preview sample extracted by the manager module 554. The packaging/delivery module 556 may format the extracted preview sample using a format appropriate for the user's specific mobile terminal 502. As an optional procedure, the packaging/delivery module 556 calls the DRM module 558 for addition of appropriate usage rules, encryption of the preview samples, and packetization into a secure container. Delivery of the preview sample to the mobile terminal 502 via the WAP gateway 560 and GGSN 522 is preferably accomplished using clips, such as by over a WAP browsing session or using MMS, or by use of streaming in 3G AII-IP networks.
FIG. 6 illustrates an MMS push environment within which a dynamic multimedia previewing system and method of the present invention may be practiced. The system  600 shown in FIG. 6 is an exemplary system that supports a special MMS preview notification which is delivered to the user's mobile terminal 602. MMS preview notification preferably includes two downloading options: preview of the content/message and the actual content/message. Such a preview notification can be delivered to the user in the form of an invitation or offer to gain experience with the provider's content. Notification may also come in the form of special rules offered to the user relating to fee charging and digital rights management (DRM). For example, the actual content/message may be protected by DRM rules, but the preview sample can be freely distributed. Further, notification as to the size of the message exceeding a pre-defined value, such as a value indicating a noticeable downloading time/cost, may also be delivered.
The system  600 depicted in FIG. 6 includes an intranet 650 of a service provider, a mobile network 620, and a mobile terminal 602. The mobile terminal 602 according to this embodiment includes a media player 604 and supports an MMS client 606. The mobile network 620 communicates with the service provider intranet 650 via a GGSN 622.
The service provider intranet  650 is shown to include a content gateway 662. The content gateway 662 includes a manager module 654, a packaging/delivery module 656, a Multimedia Message Service Center (MMSC) 661, and a DRM module 658. The service provider intranet 650 further includes a WAP gateway 660, a subscriber/terminal profile database 692, a multimedia content source 690, and a push application 680.
In practice, an MMS preview option is selected by the push application  680 based on preferences and/or settings established by the service/content provider or the user. The user selects a preview option. Alternatively, the user may initiate a user requested push, such as by requesting certain content using SMS (Short Messaging Service) keywords, for example. The manager module 654 generates an optimal sample clip using pre-defined and dynamic parameters in a manner previously described. DRM packaging may optionally be performed by the DRM module 658. The sample preview clip and the actual message are packaged by the packaging/deliver module 656 and sent to the MMSC 661. A special MMS preview notification is sent to the user's mobile terminal 602 using a notification delivery method of the MMS.
After receipt of the special MMS preview notification by the mobile terminal  602, the user selects the preview option. The MMS client 606 downloads the sample preview message to the mobile terminal 602. The user may then play the sample preview message using the media player 604 of the mobile terminal 602. After previewing the sample preview message, the user may select the actual message which is subsequently downloaded by the MMS client 606 to the mobile terminal 602. A charge may be accrued to the user's account/profile for the download of the actual message or content.

I'm not saying I wasn't enjoying my football beforehand but when you're losing games it isn't enjoyable."Winning games breeds confidence, and with more wins that's going to come, but I am enjoying my football and it's credit to the manager for that."While Republic of Ireland international McClean "enjoyed the challenge" of his defensive role, he says he has been given more licence to attack since the positional switch."As an attacking player it's always nice to score and set up goals," he added."I played earlier in the season at left back but I didn't complain and I didn't make any excuses."I've been playing better, but I know myself that I can play even better again, so that's to come and hopefully I can chip in with a few more goals this season and I back myself to do that."

Why is it that inflation is persistently high in some periods and persistently low in other periods? We argue that lack of commitment in monetary policy may bear a large part of the blame. We show that, in a standard equilibrium model, absence of commitment leads to multiple equilibria, or expectation traps. In these traps, expectations of high or low inflation lead the public to take defensive actions which then make it optimal for the monetary authority to validate those expectations. We find support in cross-country evidence for key implications of the model.
