The new home of
Possibly Italy's most quintessentially Italian region, Tuscany seems to have it all; from exquisite art, cities and towns packed full of Renaissance and medieval architecture, beautiful rolling countryside and wonderful cuisine. It's no wonder why holidaymakers love it. If you're looking for self catering accommodation in Tuscany, see our wide selection of villas in Tuscany.
Tuscany's largest city is Florence which has the finest collection of Renaissance art and architecture found anywhere in the world. Thousands of visitors come here to see the multitude of cultural and historical attractions such as The Uffizi gallery, The Accademia with statue of Michelangelo''s David, the Palazzo Pitti, the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and of course the Duomo and tapestry. Apart from the renowned buildings, great galleries and museums, there are fine restaurants, exclusive shops and some excellent outdoor markets.
Somewhat smaller than Florence, is Siena with its outstanding mediaeval architecture and pedestrianized streets. Its focal point is the Il Campo, a scallop-shaped piazza with a towering Duomo – a most impressive sight in a most impressive city. Also take some time to explore the pretty hill towns south of Siena; Montepulciano and Montalcino – well worth it.
This region of Italy has so many traditional, beautifully preserved, medieval towns and villages, just a few of which include elegant Lucca, San Gimignano with its famous towers, the hill-top town of Cortona and Volterra located on a plateau surrounded by volcanic hills.
The city of Pisa, with its world famous leaning tower, has more to offer than its most famous building, with many other fine examples of historic architecture, including a number of impressive churches throughout the ancient port city.
In the upper Arno Valley north of Arezzo in the Casentino region, you'll find beautifully tranquil national park; this is the place for peaceful walks (there are 800 kilometres of paths) and exploring ancient castles amongst the hills and forests.
Another area noted for its natural beauty is the coastal plain that rises just south of Grosseto, offering a wonderful landscape that combines coastal marsh, forest covered hills, cliffs and great beaches – just perfect!
In fact Tuscany as a whole is known for its natural beauty, with great cycling trails, walks and nature reserves to explore, the area is also a prolific wine producing region so you will find plenty of tasting and vineyard tours available.

Men and women have sought aphrodisiacs, agents that arouse or increase sexual response or desire, since the beginning of time. Aphrodisiacs may well be the one thing that crosses all barriers -- race, culture, ethnicity, age -- making it unanimous: We all want to have better sex.

The 7 Steps to Happily Ever After
By Marjorie IngallWhat makes love last a lifetime? Affection? Yep. Respect? Sure. But a great marriage is not just about what you have. It's about what you do to make a relationship stronger, safer, more caring and committed. Here's how to make your "forever" fantastic. Marriage is a home, a refuge against the outside storms. And like any house, it requires a strong, lasting foundation. To build one, every couple needs to take certain steps — seven, to be precise — that turn the two of you into...
Read the The 7 Steps to Happily Ever After article > >
If you looked hard enough, you could find an authority for almost any folk belief about the stimulating properties of a substance. And although the Food and Drug Administration has determined that all these non-medicinal approaches are ineffective, people still follow their heart's desire in search of the perfect catalyst for love.
One category of foods that were thought to be aphrodisiacs are foods that resemble genitalia. Eggs and caviar may come to mind, as well as asparagus, celery, and onions. Clams and oysters also lay claim to aphrodisiac qualities because of their shape and texture. Oysters, in fact, are high in zinc -- a nutrient that was lacking in people's diets at one time; eating them could improve a nutritionally deficient diet, thus improving a person's overall health and increasing his or her sex drive.
Spicy foods have long been considered to be sexual stimulants. There is some scientific truth to this claim in that foods that are heavily spiced often contain capsaicin, the active ingredient in cayenne pepper. Eating capsaicin can cause a physiological response -- increased heart rate and metabolism, sometimes even sweating -- that is quite similar to the physical reactions experienced during sex.
Okra is another reputed vegetable of love. Rich in magnesium, it's a natural relaxant. It's also full of iron, folate, zinc, and vitamin B, all nutrients that keep your sex organs healthy and happy. A little gumbo, anyone?
An herb very commonly associated with love is ginseng. Some say ginseng is an aphrodisiac because it actually looks like the human body. (The word ginseng even means "man root.") Studies have reported sexual response in animals who have been given ginseng, but there is no evidence to date of ginseng having any effect on humans.
Yohimbe is an herb found in Africa and India that for centuries has been thought to possess aphrodisiac qualities. It works by stimulating nerve centers in the spine, thereby improving the capacity for erection without increasing sexual excitement. These days, some call it the herbal Viagra. Unfortunately, there are side effects to taking this herb, which include anxiety, weakness, overstimulation, paralysis, and hallucinations. Sounds like a large price to pay for the possibility of better sex, don't you think?

Skip to comments.Article V...Constiutional Convention
Posted on 04/15/2014 4:35:55 PM PDT by SgtBob
U. S. Constitution
The article she wrote bore nothing in common to the title, but the some in the FReepdom were spinnin' like a bunch of whirligigs. They seemed to not know, or not care, of the difference between a Constitutional Convention, and an Article V Convention of the States.
Now, I ain't the sharpest spoon in the drawer, so somebody sharpen me up, where needed.
An Article V Convention of the States is a way for the People to circumvent the wrongs thrust upon us by the Centralized Government.
The only role Congress is allowed is administrative. The State Legislators send Delegates to act as proxy for the People of the individual States.
All Amendments must pass with 3/4 majority. That way commonsense might prevail....the left-wing nut jobs can't pass the "Eat Yer Own Garbage to Prevent Landfill Expansion" Amendment.
If I'm way off base, let me know...it might help other FReeper know the difference between a Constitutional Convention, and an Article V Convention of the States.
Flame on....Grammar Nazis, too.
A pingy-dingy...
Sounds like you got'er figured out sarge.
Article V ping.
Article V convention has a specific, stated purpose. No other agenda is permitted except that which is proposed for the A5C.
A ConCon can become a free-for-all, from what I've heard, where Lefties can poison otherwise Constitutionally conservative amendments and vice-versa.
This is all based on years of reading on both FR and other print sources, but I believe this is a sound summation.
Make the Tenth Amendment the FIRST.
The amendatory process under Article V consists of three steps: Proposal, Disposal, and Ratification.
There are two ways to propose an amendment to the Constitution.
Article V gives Congress and an Amendments Convention exactly the same power to propose amendments, no more and no less.
Once Congress, or an Amendments Convention, proposes amendments, Congress must decide whether the states will ratify by the:
The State Ratifying Convention Method has only been used twice: once to ratify the Constitution, and once to ratify the 21st Amendment repealing Prohibition.
Depending upon which ratification method is chosen by Congress, either the state legislatures vote up-or-down on the proposed amendment, or the voters elect a state ratifying convention to vote up-or-down. If three-quarters of the states vote to ratify, the amendment becomes part of the Constitution.
Forbidden Subjects:
Article V contains two explicitly forbidden subjects and one implicitly forbidden subject.
Explicitly forbidden:
Implicitly forbidden:
I have two reference works for those interested.
The first is from the American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative pro-business group. This document has been sent to every state legislator in the country.
Proposing Constitutional Amendments by a Convention of the States: A Handbook for State Lawmakers
The second is a 1973 report from the American Bar Association attempting to identify gray areas in the amendatory process to include an Amendments Convention. It represents the view of the ruling class of 40 years ago. While I dislike some of their conclusions, they have laid out the precedents that may justify those conclusions. What I respect is the comprehensive job they did in locating all the gray areas. They went so far as to identify a gray area that didn't pop up until the Equal Rights Amendment crashed and burned a decade later. Even if you find yourself in disagreement with their vision, it's worth reading to see the view of the ruling class toward the process.
Report of the ABA Special Constitutional Convention Study Committee
We have to recall what happened to the convention that was supposed only to amend the Articles of Confederation. Mason fled in disgust when he realized what those lunatics Hamilton and Madison actually had in mind... ;-)
Plubius, do you know how many states have approved this specific Convention of States project by C for SG?
Thumbs up from a Sailor? We need to go bust up a tavern over a broad at the end of the bar;-)
I believe it's only 1 for the Levin project, but I may be wrong. The balanced budget amendment effort may have 34, but there are confusing issues about rescission and timeliness, so that's going to be up to the Archivist of the United States and Congress to decide.
The Newsmax chick threw the Con-Con as her title...that wasn't the thrust of the article, but a bunch of FReepers went wild.
Gotta keep pushin'.
Thank you. I've been looking for that number.
The between/and construction doesn't require a comma.
#16 is especially designed just for you.
Quick and tight timeline:
1781 & 1783. Congress asks for limited commerce and taxing powers. RI refuses.
March 1785: Mount Vernon Conference. Legislators from MD and VA discuss Potomac navigation and commerce issues. Conferees suggest wider state meeting in Annapolis.
September 1786: Annapolis Convention. Few states attend. Nothing of substance, other than a call to meet in Philly in May of 1787.
February 1787: Congress calls for a convention that was going to happen anyway.
These meetings/conventions were extra-congressional. Congress had no authority to call a convention, nor commission its members, nor define its purpose. Congress was an impotent advisory group, which was the reason for the meetings/conventions of 1785 -1787.
The Federal government shall provide to the states all the money which they request.
The states would have a magical money machine. Just have the Feds print more money.
If the Convention proposed anything the States disliked, then the States could reject the proposed amendment and so the proposal would not become part of the Constitution. The last two amendments proposed by the Congress (Equal Rights Amendment and District of Columbia Voting Rights Amendment) were rejected by the States, so the States are certainly not rubber stamps regarding proposed amendments.
Finally, there's no way the Convention would be able to impose amendments or a new constitution. Any such attempt would be viewed as illegitimate and would destroy the Convention's credibility. Any thought that the federal government, the States, or the People would acquiesce in such an act is laughable.
Yer plenty sharp Sarge, now back in yer scabbard afer Ya poke out your eye;)
Gosh, that is a horrid and unsubstantiated cheap shot!
Mason attended the entire convention.
Tell me of Madison's and Hamilton's lunacy.
Con Con? No thanks.
Well the congress critters could actually get together and propose an amendment to nullify the states being able to propose amendments.....
Heck they just might if not enough of the states get serious about an article V convention to propose NEW amendments to take their power back from FedGov...
You, obviously, missed the misspelled title;-)
Educate yer damned self! 34 States HAVE NOT signed on to a Constitutional Convention! They ARE considering an Article V Convention of the States.
Don't mean to yell, but after yesterday, stoopid posts need it.
Thanks. My home state was one that rescinded. So sad...
Read my post, again, and the read Article 5...sheesh...
(those of you, to whom this does not apply...you know who you are...thanks fer puttin' up with my yellin'.)
Bayonet in eye, yet?
Thank you, much. I tried to put it in "easy read"....you make me a piker. I shall endeavor to follow suit.
You posted this yesterday, and folks didn't get it. That was part of my frustration...I was trying to get FReepers to look at it in a simple fashion...some posts say I failed.
Not quite sure what brew you have, but I'd like a heads up, as a purveyor of fine brews.
Na maybe a splinter.
I see no reason for anything to be done to the Constitution except FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER.
Once a proposed amendment is drafted then it is up to the 3/4 Article V state majority to either ratify it or ignore the proposed amendment. And if the states choose to ignore the proposed amendment then the drafting stage, either with Congress or the convention of states, was a waste of time imo.
Note that regardless of the signatures of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention on the final draft of the Constituiton, the delegates still had to go back to their states to sell the new Constitution. So even with the original Constitution, the states could have chosen to ignore it instead of ratifying it.
United States Constitution
You've done a fine job. People need to be educated as to what an Article V Convention can and can not do.
So expressing an opinion—which stands, by the way—is stupid? OK.
I have read the constitution many times. I carry a copy with me at all times. I would not go so far as to say I am an expert.
So, tell me, genius, how the Article V route makes us somehow immune to the same mummery and shenanigans that would occur during a regular constitutional convention, or any other political situation.
If "our side" sends representatives, do you think that the other side will not? Do you think that the other side will not try the same tactics they use in any other political situation? What makes you think that the other side won't just ignore any results like they currently do? Please, explain all that to this poor, dumb ol' boy from Missouri.
We have something that works. Use it. Hold your government accountable by whatever means are at your disposal. Like it or not, we're eventually going to have to make an omelet.
How many Congresses would it take to get the Centralized Government within the confines of the Constitution?
I don't think it could happen without an amendment to impose term limits. Mind you, I, once upon a time, opposed them. You get good representation, you want to keep it....then they get wealthy and become a K Street lobbyist.
Just askin'...like I said in my post, I ain't the sharpest spoon in the drawer.
Looks good to me and yer gram mer ain't tooo bad neither.
Well, let's see:
House - Terms last 2 years IIRC
Senate - 1/3 every 6 years IIRC
So congress is the opposite of Progress * (50% uninformed voters / 3.14) + Vote Fraud^3 = roughly 400 years.
We are so screwed!
An Article V Convention of the States is very small scoped.
Let's say 32 States legislatures, represented by the people of the 32 States, decided the U. S. Congress needs to be term limited. That would be the only Amendment to be debated...the U. S. Congress has no voice, whatsoever; No other Amendments can be debated, whatsoever.
In an earlier post I said the "Eat Yer Own Garbage to Stop Landfill Expansion Amendment" will not be heard.
This would not be a Constitutional Convention. This is a group of States, with the foresight of the Founding Fathers, to amend the Constitution without the interference of an out of control, lawless, Congress.
Shout back if ya need more help;-)
I must respectfully disagree. We need a CoS desperately. We are very late. And not because there is anything wrong with the current constitution, the wrong lies in the federal government itself and the people who make it up. The overall intent of the CoS is to empower the states to reign in the federal government and force it to follow the constitution. It's that simple, to abide by and enforce the constitution. Just as you stated.
Just one question FReeper, do you really think they will let you leave?
Well, Sir, yer mathematical skills astound me...=roughly 400 years extrapolates to Article V....I need ta take a sip of that water in yer pretty neighborhood lake;-)
I worked hard on my grammarisms coming up in the primary schoolin';-)
Lunatics? I don't think so. Read the Federalist Papers.
Arghh. Youse needs to keep the sabers and cutlasses well oiled to prevent rust don't ya know? It's ah lil harder to poke out yer eye within a longer blade. arghh.
Oh, I did. You might consider reading the series Publius and I put together on them over 14 months here on FR. It's HERE. Let us know what you think.

A Jewish First Whether It's Trump or Clinton
This election year another revealing issue emerged, namely, the growing complexity of Jewish identity. No matter who wins the White House, there will --- for the first time -- be Jewish members of the immediate First Family.
The Meaning of America? Ask My Family
Thank you, America, for having opened your home -- and your heart -- to my mother, my father, and my wife -- and to countless others.
Assessing Presbyterian Actions on Israel
Recent PCUSA actions may mark the beginnings of change in a denominationthat has published, promoted or endorsed, over the past dozen years, an extremely biased view of Israel.
Three Lessons From Orlando
We need to grasp the essential fact that our enemy is a worldwide belief system that views our civilizational values as worthy targets -- and uses terrorism to advance its goals.

The future of ballpoint pens as EHR data input devices
Face it: Some docs can't type well enough to use EHR systems. We discuss the future of handwriting with electronic ballpoint pens as EHR data input devices.
This Article Covers
Health IT and EHR implementation is all about iPads and laptops and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and getting rid of dead trees in the workflow, right? That may put a certain group of physicians -- namely, those who can't type well and have a hard time learning speech recognition -- in the rearview mirror. Yet there's an acute shortage of physicians already, putting U.S. health care into a bind moving forward.
Download Our Guide: mHealth Security Best Practices
There's no doubt that mobile health technology improves patient care, engagement, and physician productivity. But, the security risks are vast. Learn how to protect your mHealth devices and data in this exclusive e-guide.

In this podcast, we sat down with Ginny Carpenter, vice president for Anoto Inc., whose digital pens capture handwriting electronically. Anoto's partners integrate data captured on the pens into electronic forms and electronic health records. She's understandably upbeat about the future of handwriting -- and handwriting recognition software -- in health care, which accounts for roughly 50% of the company's business worldwide.
While the iPad generation of medical students -- the next wave of physicians to graduate and enter the workforce -- might default to touchscreen devices and speech for data input in EHRs, she feels that the pen will always have a strong presence in health care. After all, when the typewriter reached widespread adoption soon after the Civil War, doomsayers predicted the demise of the pen then, too.

The present invention relates generally to on-demand resource allocation, and relates more particularly to resource planning for messaging services. Specifically, the invention is a method and apparatus for on-demand management of messaging jobs.
In order to effectively compete in today's telecommunication market, service providers and enterprises are turning toward unified messaging technology. Unified messaging platforms (e.g., Voice over IP—or VoIP) and applications thereof such as voice mail transcription are typically characterized by real-time constraints, predictable processing times and some tolerance to loss.
Hard deadlines and estimated service times are associated with incoming requests (e.g., voicemails to be transcribed or VoIP packets) to unified messaging services, and failure to meet a deadline will result in a dismissal of the request; quality of service is defined by the proportion of requests successfully processed. Computing resources such as servers and message or packet proxies, relays or routers are used to process requests, and these resources must be allocated in a way that processes incoming requests in a timely and efficient manner. Conventional on-line scheduling systems for unified messaging systems tend to process incoming requests on a first come, first served basis, i.e., in the order in which the requests are received. Processing deadlines or estimated processing times are not considered in establishing the order in which requests are processed. Consequently, resources may not be optimally allocated to process incoming requests, resulting in many requests being only partially processed, or not processed at all, by the time their deadlines expire. To reduce losses, it is often necessary to allocate additional resources to process requests, thereby increasing the costs of operation. It is therefore desirable that an existing unified messaging service system be optimized so that the proportion of lost or dismissed requests does not exceed a predetermined threshold.
Thus, there is a need in the art for a method and apparatus for on-demand resource planning for unified messaging services.
In one embodiment, the invention is a method and apparatus for on-demand resource planning and job management for unified messaging services. In one embodiment, multiple clients are served by a single system, and existing system resources are allocated among all clients in a manner that optimizes system output and service provider profit without the need to increase system resources. In one embodiment, resource allocation and job scheduling are guided by individual service level agreements between the service provider and the clients that dictate minimum service levels that must be achieved by the system. Jobs are processed in a manner that at least meets the specified service levels. The benefit or profit derived by the service provider is maximized by prioritizing incoming jobs while meeting the specified service levels. Thus, operation and hardware costs remain substantially unchanged, while system output and profit are maximized.
So that the manner in which the above recited embodiments of the invention are attained and can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be obtained by reference to the embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
To facilitate understanding, identical reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate identical elements that are common to the figures.
The invention is a method and apparatus for on-demand resource planning and job management for unified messaging services. In one embodiment, information concerning job volume and job deadlines is provided by a service level agreement (SLA) between the service provider and a client. To illustrate, a service provider, e.g., a telephone company, may provide unified messaging services to its customers. For example, a customer may subscribe to a particular unified messaging service, e.g., where a voicemail message is transcribed into a text message and is forwarded to the customer, e.g., via an email or text message sent to the customer's computer, cell phone, PDA or similar devices. The constraints or quality of service is often specified in a service level agreement (SLA), e.g., specifying the timeliness of transcribing the voicemail after it is received. It is important that the promised quality of service is achieved to the extent possible, given the available resources.
In one embodiment, the invention takes into account information available concerning processing times of incoming jobs, and allocates resources according to the estimated process times of existing and incoming job requests. In another embodiment, resources are allocated based on the cost to the service provider of processing a request, and the benefit derived by the service provider as a result of fulfilling the request.
The method 100 is initialized at step 102, and at step 104 the method 100 checks to see if a triggering event has occurred. In one embodiment, a triggering event is either the arrival of a new job request j, or the completion of a job i0. In one embodiment, the triggering event is the arrival of a new job request j, and the new job request j is moved to the end of the queue Q at step 106. In this embodiment, all jobs in the queue Q assume the same relative deadlines (e.g., as is often the case in service contracts). In another embodiment, at least some of the jobs in the queue Q have different relative deadlines, and the queue Q is ordered so that the jobs with the earliest deadlines are closer to the head of the queue Q (e.g., in order of increasing deadlines). In this embodiment, step 106 inserts the new job request j into the queue Q at a point where the immediately preceding job has an earlier deadline than the new job request j and the immediately following job has a later deadline than the new job request j.
The method 100 then determines whether the arrival of the new job request j places a cumulative demand upon the system that exceeds the system's processing capabilities. Specifically, at step 108, the method 100 determines whether the cumulative processing time for all jobs in the queue Q,
is greater than or smaller than the longest deadline d among all jobs in the queue Q. Both the cumulative processing time
and the longest deadline d vary over time. If the cumulative processing time
is not greater than the longest deadline d, the method proceeds to step 110 to determine whether the server is busy. If the server is busy, the new job request j remains at the end of the queue Q, and the method 100 returns to step 104. If the server is idle, the server begins to process the new job request j at step 112.
If the cumulative processing time
is greater than the longest deadline d, the system proceeds to step 114 to determine how to free up system resources to process the remaining jobs in the queue Q. If pre-emption is allowed for jobs, at step 114 the system finds the job k in the queue Q for which the most time is needed for processing (i.e., k is the longest job in the queue Q), and in one embodiment the system deletes the longest job k from the queue Q. In another embodiment, if the longest job k has already been started, but it will require more time than the processing time of any other job in the queue Q to complete, the system stops processing the longest job k and switches to the next job in the queue Q. Alternatively, the system may set the longest job k aside temporarily and resume processing the longest job k later, rather than delete the longest job k completely from the queue Q. Alternatively, if pre-emption is not allowed, in one embodiment the system will allow the processing to complete for the head job in the queue Q, and the system will find the longest job k among the remaining jobs in the queue Q. In one embodiment, the system deletes the longest job k. In another embodiment, the system temporarily sets the longest job k aside.
If the triggering event is instead a service completion (i.e., the completion of processing on an existing job), as determined in step 104, the method 100 proceeds to step 116 to update the current state of the queue Q upon departure of the completed job i0. The system 100 then determines at step 118 whether there are any remaining jobs in the queue Q. If there are no remaining jobs in the queue Q, the method 100 returns to step 104. If there are remaining jobs in the queue Q, the system processes the job at the head of the queue, i.e., the job with the most immediate deadline in step 120.
The method 100 thus allocates service resources by prioritizing incoming job requests based on the estimated job completion times and the deadlines for each particular job. Consequently, service resources may be allocated more efficiently than in conventional methods such as first come, first served systems, resulting in a lower percentage of job losses. Thus, the method 100 provides more efficient service of job requests without having to allocate additional system resources.
In one embodiment, the efficiency of the method 100 is enhanced by optimizing the routing of incoming job requests to two or more servers (e.g., general purpose computers, workstations or mini computers).
If the query at step 204 reveals that a new job request j has arrived in the system, the method 200 proceeds to step 208. At step 208, the method 200 compares the queues Qi for all servers 1-I in the system, to determine which server S will be able to complete the new job request j in the shortest amount of time (i.e., which server can complete the job j the soonest). In one embodiment, the scheduling method 100 described with reference to
At step 210, the new job request j is routed to the server S, and an arrival event (e.g., step 106 in method 100) is generated at the server S. The queue Qi at the server S is updated at step 206, and in one embodiment, the method 200 merges with the method 100 at step 106, where the method 100 is initiated as described with reference to
The method 200 does not necessarily require that all servers have similar processing speeds. In fact, in one embodiment, the method 200 is initialized for a group of I parallel servers, wherein at least some of the servers 1-I have different operating criteria (e.g., different processing speeds, capacity or CPU power). In this embodiment, the estimated completion times fi(Qi∪{j}) for each server i will be a factor of the server i's processing speed.
The requisite capacity μ may be estimated by determining PL, which is the percentage of jobs that can be lost by the server or system without violating the obligations under the SLA to process a percent of incoming jobs in d time (step 302). PL must be less than 1-α, and may derived by relating the known parameters defined by the client such that
where B0 is a normalization factor that can be expressed as a function of λ, ρ and d as follows:
and the capacity μ that will guarantee that a percent of jobs will be processed within d time may be solved for inversely (step 304). Note that x is a dummy variable that one may consider as the time that has elapsed, e.g., 0>x>d. Once the requisite capacity μ is known, the number and speed of system servers that will support the capacity μ can be determined (step 306).
In one embodiment, scheduling of job requests (for example as described with reference to
The total capacity of the system, μmax is determined or specified at step 402. At step 404, the traffic volume λk, the deadline information dk, the utility function Rk(α) and the cost function Ck(μ) are collected for each client k. The utility function Rk(α) is defined as the benefit or profit derived by the service provider for satisfying the client k's incoming requests (e.g., payment for fulfilling the SLA), and the cost function Ck(μ) is defined as the cost to the service provider of satisfying the client k's incoming requests.
Step 406 illustrates one embodiment of an algorithm for optimizing the service level and capacity allocated to clients 1-K, based on the information collected in step 404. If the service provider assigns a capacity μk to client k, then the utility (or profit) derived from client k will be the payment Rk(αk) based on an achieved service level of αk=1−PL (μk, λk, dk) minus the cost Ck(μk) of providing the resource μk. Thus, to maximize the total system utilization, or Σk Uk (μk, λk, dk), step 406 considers
The optimal solution is therefore (α*={α*k:k=1, . . . , K}, μ*={μ*k:k=1, . . . , K}), where α*k is the optimal service level specified and μ*k is the optimal service capacity allocated for the client k (see step 408).
Once the system has been optimized, optimal service level α*k and optimal capacity μ*k are allocated for the client k, where k=1, . . . , K (step 508). For each client k that is allocated the capacity μ*k, a scheduling method such as that described with reference to
Applying the method 500, the time-varying needs of different clients (e.g., in terms of changes in the observed loads and cost functions) can be accommodated and temporary increases and/or decreases in required capacity can be anticipated and allocated in a timely and efficient manner. By applying the method 500 described with reference to
In one embodiment, a general purpose computing device 600 comprises a processor 602, a memory 604 and at least one storage device 606. In one embodiment, a method for execution by the on-demand resource allocation and job management system 610 (e.g., any of the resource allocation or job management methods described herein) can be implemented as a software application that is retrieved from the storage device 606 and is loaded onto the memory 604. The processor 602 can then retrieve the method from the memory 604 and execute the method in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
Thus, the present invention represents a significant advancement in the field of unified messaging services. A method is provided that optimizes the performance and allocation of service system resources on-line, i.e., allocation is assigned in real time as the system continuously evolves. The on-line nature of the scheduling, routing and capacity planning methods disclosed herein makes the method easily adaptable to changing system demands. Thus, system failures or losses may be minimized without the need to allocate additional resources to the system and increasing system costs. The methods disclosed herein may have applications not only in unified messaging systems, but can be adapted to other real-time computer systems, telecommunications, manufacturing, and military applications.
While foregoing is directed to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof, and the scope thereof is determined by the claims that follow.

Bowden clamp for Rostock
by Johann, published
Thing Apps Enabled
Thing Info
Rostock is a delta robot 3D printer.
This part can hold a MakerGear PEEK insulator (GrooveMount) and a bowden tube with 4 mm outside diameter. The M8 nut allows adjusting the clamp pressure so that the bowden tube won't pop out.
Newer versions of the OpenSCAD source files will be published here: http://github.com/jcrocholl/rostock
Print with ABS to make it more heat resistant. The original Rostock prototype uses PLA and it works okay too. Just make sure you don't pre-heat your hotend for too long without a fan pointing at it.
The top is very thin so you may need to print slowly to allow each layer to cool enough before you print the next layer. If this is a problem, use bowden_hotend_cooldown.stl to add extra cooling time for each layer.
- Drill the clamp hole open to 4 mm.
- Cut the three slots open with a sharp knife if necessary.
- Add a stainless steel M8 nut on top but don't tighten it yet.
- Push the PFA bowden tube all the way into the clamp.
- Tighten the M8 nut, but not too tight. Hand tight should be enough.
- Drill the inside of the PFA tube open to 2 mm if necessary.
- Attach with two M4 nuts and Wade style plywood GrooveMount.
I recommend flexible clear metric PFA (Teflon) tubing with 2 mm inside and 4 mm outside diameter, e.g. http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/118/137

I ordered a wade style plywood groovemount from makergear and got a rectangular shaped piece with offset mount. It's obviously not the right piece. Looking at their website it looks like I should have ordered a Brut/mk4 mount. Anyone have any thoughts?
Here is a modified version:
Same here. I have a adjusted model I can upload but I ended up redrilling my holes because I wanted the hotend to be centered.
