 This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 13/736,056, filed Jan. 7, 2013, titled "REMOTE TRANSACTION PROCESSING USING A DEFAULT PAYMENT METHOD" which is a continuation and claims priority to application Ser. No. 11/948,903, filed Nov. 30, 2007, titled "METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING AN ONLINE PAYMENT TRANSACTION USING A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE", both of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
 FIG. 2 illustrates one implementation of the mobile communication device 102. The mobile communication device 102 includes a mobile application 200 that (in one implementation) is provided to the mobile communication device 102 through a remote server (e.g., management server 106). In one implementation, the mobile application is a Mobile Wallet application available from Mobile Candy Dish, Inc., of Alameda, Calif. In one implementation, the mobile application is a hosted service, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/939,821, entitled "Method and System For Securing Transactions Made Through a Mobile Communication Device", which is incorporated herein by reference. In one implementation, the mobile application 200 is configured to send requests to the management server for artifacts based on user input, e.g., received though a keypad (not shown) of the mobile communication device 102. Requests to the management server 106 can also be automated, via proximity-based services, e.g., consumer tapping (or in close proximity) an LBS/contactless/RFID enabled phone against a smart poster (RFID/Bluetooth/LBS enabled, etc.), kiosk, or other device.
 In one implementation, the mobile communication device 102 is an NEC-enabled phone. The mobile communication device 102 can be NFC-enabled, for example, through an embedded chip or a sticker that is affixed to the cellular phone, as described in U.S. application Ser. No. 11/933,321, entitled "Method and System For Adapting a Wireless Mobile Communication Device For Wireless Transactions", which is incorporated herein by reference. In one implementation, the NEC chip (or sticker) on the cellular phone can be used in conjunction with a merchant's point of sale device as described in greater detail below.
 For example, with reference to FIG. 4, in one implementation, the NEC chip (or sticker) on the cellular phone can communicate with NEC chips that are installed on the front of PC's (TV's, Kiosks, or any other device) and serve as scanners/readers. In this implementation a mobile candy dish applet (e.g., MCD POS plugin 414) is installed on the consumer's computer (e.g., PC 404) which interfaces with the NEC chip on the PC. When a consumer (or user) is shopping online and they are ready to pay for their products, the consumer opens his mobile wallet and selects one of the payment methods (e.g., credit card, debit card, prepaid card, etc.) from their mobile wallet. If a default card has been selected already, this step is not necessary. The consumer then waves their phone over the NEC reader present on the PC 404. The consumer's payment credentials are transferred from the phone to the merchant website (e.g., online store application 410) using a communication protocol between the chip in the phone and the chip in the PC, which can be radio frequency for example. If the consumer has coupons in their mobile wallet the consumer can either elect to manually apply the coupon, save the coupon for a future use (against a larger purchase for example), or have the coupon automatically applied during the transaction and the transaction amount is updated. After the consumer enters any necessary validation information (e.g., pin) to provide a multi-factor authentication and confirms the transaction, the online purchase is processed as normal by the merchant's online processor. The mobile wallet can retrieve transaction data, account balance from the management server 408.
 In one implementation, the management server 408 and merchant portal (e.g., online store 408) are maintained by trusted parties and use an encrypted tunnel to transfer financial data. When the consumer is ready to pay for their online product, they enter their cell phone number on the merchant portal. The merchant portal (which has an MCD applet (e.g.,, MCD POS plugin 414) installed on its server) securely connects to the management server 408 (that in one implementation is maintained by Mobile Candy Dish (MCD)). In one implementation, the management server 408 identifies the consumer through their cell phone number, and verifies the consumer's authenticity by sending a unique transaction code to the consumer mobile wallet on their cell phone. The consumer then enters this unique transaction code onto the merchant's web portal. The merchant portal sends this transaction number to the management server 408 for authentication, Upon authentication, the consumer's virtual wallet and payment methods (e.g., credit card, debit card, prepaid card, etc.) are securely retrieved from the management server 408 and are displayed to the consumer in a window on a website associated with the merchant portal. The consumer selects one of these payment methods to pay for their transaction. If a default card has been selected already, this step is not necessary. If the consumer has coupons in their mobile wallet the consumer can either elect to manually apply the coupon, save the coupon for a future use, or have the coupon automatically applied during the transaction and the transaction amount is updated. After the consumer enters any necessary validation information to provide a multi-factor authentication and confirms the transaction, the online purchase is processed as normal by the merchant's online processor. The mobile wallet can retrieve transaction data, account balance from the management server 408.
 In interaction (2), when the user chooses to purchase with the mobile communication device 402, the online store application 410 sends the transaction information for authorization to the POS vendor plugin (e.g., MCD POS plugin 414). In one implementation, the POS vendor plugin is installed in the merchant's online store and enables the merchant to accepts MCD Blaze payments as an alternative form of payment, similar to accepting credit cards for payment. As shown by interaction (3), the POS vendor plugin formats, encrypts, and cryptographically signs the purchase authorization request which is sent via a secure SSL link (e.g., HTTPS, Bluetooth, FR, USB, or other suitable protocol) established by the browser/web application 416 back to the mobile communication device 402. As with the first scenario, all communications is over secure channels. (It may be required that the mobile wallet application be opened prior to beginning a phone online purchase.) The POS midlet 412 is a component of the mobile wallet application that executes PayPass or other payment authorization protocol between itself and the SE payment applications on the mobile communication device 402 (interaction (4)). The results of the request are sent back to the POS vendor plugin.
 As shown by interaction (5), the POS midlet 412 then forwards the properly formatted authorization request to a payment entity (e.g., issuer authorization 418) for authorization. The results of the request are then sent back to the POS component of the mobile wallet. Through interaction (6), the POS midlet 412 then forwards the results back to the MCD POS plugin 414 to complete the purchase. The MCD POS plugin 414 then forwards the purchase transaction information to the management server 408 for later customer viewing (interaction (7)). As indicated by interaction (8), users or customers) will then be able to query the management server 408 and immediately obtain purchase information, either by phone or PC.

Supreme Court Refuses Interpretative Ruling on Disclosure of Communist-Era State Security Agents
Domestic | March 10, 2015, Tuesday // 15:51| views
Photo by BGNES
Bulgaria's Supreme Administrative Court (VAS) has refused to issue an interpretative ruling on whether the so-called Files' Commission (examining the Communist era secret services' files – editor's note) is authorized to disclose collaborators of the communist-era State Security (DS) on the basis of "cards" only.
In 2013, the Constitutional Court (KS) upheld the legality of legal provision stating that DS agents could be disclosed only on the basis of the presence of their names on cards certifying their connection to the entity amid a lack of documents in the archives.
The Constitutional Court thereby revoked the claim of a three-judge panel of VAS to declare these provisions to unconstitutional.
The latest move of VAS is a major obstruction to the activity of the Files' Commission that will be left to function in a situation of legal uncertainty, according to reports of mediapool.bg.
The problem surfaced after it turned out that VAS had changed its course on cases of that type.
After 93 cases in which VAS ruled that DS collaborators listed only on cards could be exposed as such, in 2 cases the court ruled that the disclosure of such people was unlawful.
This caused Bulgaria's National Ombudsman Konstantin Penchev to ask VAS to issue an interpretative ruling on the matter, thereby putting an end to the contradictory practice of the court.
Penchev's motion was submitted to VAS in March 2014 and one year later the court refused to issue an interpretative ruling.
The decision to overturn Penchev's motion was not published on the website of VAS and the court provided no explanation for the failure to do so.
A total of 84 judges at VAS took part in the voting, with 41 votes for and 43 votes against, with a minimum of 45 votes in favor necessary for the approval of the motion.
What is left for the Files' Commission to do is to keep disclosing the names of DS agents only on the basis of their presence on cards, thereby risking a penal ruling by VAS over the practice.
The problem can be solved through legal changes.
According to the Access to Information Program NGO, the divergence of VAS from its established practice in 93 cases over 7 years is unmotivated and it creates legal uncertainty and unpredictability.

What to do on your trip to Morocco ?
At the gates of Europe Morocco is a land of contrast that will charm you with the diversity of landscapes and its culture.
Go for a trip to Morocco and discover on motorbike, 4×4 or camping-because the small villages nestled in the foothills of the Atlas, the valley of the Zat or sneak in the souks of Marrakech or the medinas of the imperial cities like Fez. Go through the beaches of the Atlantic and take 4×4 the deserts of Morocco, its oases, ride camel The dunes then sip a mint tea by observing the sunset over the Sahara. Anything is possible on a trip to Morocco, a country will not leave you insensitive.
Morocco is an exciting terrain to ride on a motorcycle or 4×4 trip. It is a succession of varied landscapes, from the arid highlands to the deserts of dunes to the lush and fertile valleys. If you are travelling in a motorhome, the roads are superb and generally well maintained. You can go around Morocco in a motorhome without worries.
A moto Trail you ride in the gorges of the dades and it is a true pleasure trail. The roads of the gorges are part of the most beautiful roads in the world. You ride on large mountain loops in the High Atlas. You discover a series of beautiful panoramas with a view of the snowy tops. The roads plunge into the gorges reaching sometimes meters of altitude. Continue your motorcycle trip to Morocco and reach only about 50 kilometers from the gorges of the Todra.
During a 4×4 trip to Morocco you drive through the dunes of Merzouga. You are as alone in the world in these great arid spaces but with unique colors. Discover the large open-air copper mine of Bleida, the emerald green of copper oxides dominate the red lands of the desert. Ride the bike at the foot of Mount Mgoun and then join the beautiful palm grove of Skorua. You discover on motorcycles, like in 4×4 the beautiful desert lands. You ride through the volcanic landscapes of Jebel Saghro and have to cross many dry wadis. Finally the North slope of the Atlas offers green landscapes of beautiful plains to the terraced cultures on the side of Demnate. A motorcycle or 4×4 trip to Morocco is also an opportunity to discover the Ksar in the mountains like the Ksar of Ait Ben ha, classified as a Unesco World Heritage site.
The great imperial cities are inevitable and will dazzle you with their treasures and unique ambiences. During a camping trip in Morocco, take the time to stop for two days in Marrakech. The place Jamaa El Fna is of a unique atmosphere: musicians, snake charmers, henna tattoos… it's all a lively and sound activity that you discover on this large place. The minaret of the Koutoubia and the gardens of Majorelle rival beauty. The souks of Marrakech, in the old town will plunge you in full Moroccan culture. Small winding alleys where shops, mopeds, travelers, cats and inhabitants jostle. The smells like the colors are striking. Strolling around you will discover beautiful doors and mosques that seem to date from the Thousand and One Nights.
After spending three days of travel in Marrakech, take the road by car, motorbike or motorhome to drive west. At about 21/2 hours drive or 174 km you reach Essaouira, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Discover the old town surrounded by its wall and stroll through the tortuous streets dating back to the medieval period. Between horns and lively conversations it's a joyful rhythm that drives you. Stay away from the main axes and go through the maze of shops, restaurateurs and artists ' workshops. The city is known worldwide for its artistic activity, not to be missed during a trip to Morocco.
In Essaouira, you are only a few kilometers north of Agadir. A city without great charm but promises a mild climate and a beautiful bay, perfect to rest for a few days. The road to Essaouira is beautiful and would recall almost the US 1 in California. You can take the coastal road by motorbike or by motorhome to reach Casablanca and discover its Medina or farther Rabat, the capital of Morocco, where you can attend various festivals of sacred or African music.
A visit is required in the Imperial City of Fez. Its old Medina is the main asset of the city. Mazes of alleys, bazaars, small restaurants with tantalizing scents and mosques are intermingled. 150 000 fassis evolve in the alleys of the old town, where travelers stray. Progress to the tanneries area and let yourself be invaded by the smells of fez, between the fumes of skin and dyes.
A night in a riad! A riad is a traditional Moroccan habitat, a multi-storey villa with an inner courtyard and having no opening on the outside to preserve the freshness. During a trip to Moto Trail in Morocco, you can also opt for a night in a traditional camp in the middle of the desert. Visit a Moroccan Casbah: great historic citadels with steep staircases and alleys.
Go on a camel's back on the sand dunes! You are then in the middle of the desert atmosphere and ride in peace a landscape of impressive dunes with ochre colours. For a nice view, go and watch the sunset over the dunes of Merzouga.
A trip to Morocco is inevitably to be transported by the flavors of the country and its spices. Taste the famous tajines with vegetables and dry reasons, Kefta omelets and the inevitable couscous. Stroll through the medina and taste the Hsoua soups with semolina and pastries with honey, figs or dates like the Kalb El ly. Mint tea is eaten at any time of day, enjoy! Its unique aromas are completely thirst-quenching.
In Morocco you can leave for the whole year. It all depends on the motorized activity you want to practice. For a stay in camping-car prefer the period from September to November. In February go on a trek by motorbike or 4×4 in the desert or on the beaches of close in the month of July. The great imperial Cities are ideally located in the spring. Do not hesitate to visit Morocco during the period of Ramadan: you discover a whole part of Moroccan culture and it is quite fascinating to see the alleys empty for calls to prayer.
Morocco is an accessible destination in three hours by plane from France. Pay attention to the two hours of time difference, and only one in daylight saving time from August. No visa needed to get to Morocco, only a valid passport. However, you should know that a tourist holiday is limited to 90 days.

Pogba in a fresh Madrid move
Manchester United star Paul Pogba has filled theory that he could withdraw Old Trafford by pronouncing that a move to Real Madrid would be a "fantasy."
After Mourinho's sacking in December, Pogba has been revived under new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
United have pivoted their class structure and achieved the Champions League quarter-finals under Solskjaer, with Pogba requiring the Norwegian to be named United's perpetual manager.
Be that as it may, Pogba's future may yet lie far from Old Trafford, with the 26-year-old announcing his reverence for Real Madrid at a public interview with the French national group on Wednesday.
"Like I've generally stated, Real Madrid is a fantasy for anybody. It's one of the greatest clubs on the planet," Pogba said.
"There is likewise [Zinedine] Zidane as a coach and it's a fantasy for anyone who likes football.
"Until further notice, I'm at Manchester. We don't have the foggiest idea what's on the horizon."
"I'm at Manchester and I'm cheerful."

Impression-oriented music courseware and its application in elementary schools
Shiori Sasaki, Yasushi Kiyoki, Kiku Watagoshi, Kosuke Takano, Kazuo Hirashima
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the design and implementation of music courseware that features a music search system that uses impression keywords. The paper applies the courseware to Kansei (sensibility) development for elementary and junior high school students. The objectives of this courseware are to cultivate children's sensitivity to the mood of a music selection; an understanding of the effects of tonality on the mood of the music; and) an ability to appreciate and express music through activities such as searching, selecting, and listening while also utilizing information about musical impression. The courseware is also designed to support teachers who do not specialize in music education. Design/methodology/approach – Music courseware is designed containing the following three components: a semantic associative search engine that enables the retrieval of media data related to impression keywords selected by users; interfaces and tools for music retrieval and learning, which support users as they study the mood of the music in an easy-to-understand format using basic music teaching scenarios; and basic music teaching scenarios that are designed and created by elementary school teachers to encourage student understandings of the tonality and mood of the music in a practical manner. Findings – The results of several qualitative and quantitative experiments show that this courseware assists children in independently learning musical elements by feeling, understanding, and expressing music impressions using words from the courseware that are extracted automatically from musical elements, such as key, rhythm, tempo, pitch, melody, and harmony. Research limitations/implications – Additional applications in various elementary and junior high school settings are needed to address a variety of practical, real-life teaching scenarios. Social implications This courseware have the potential to support enrichment programs not only in ordinary schools but also in a wide range of non-educational settings, such as welfare care, disability care, and cross-cultural communication. Originality/value – The main feature of this courseware is its multimedia database technology, which applies Kansei to music education, thereby enabling students to understand the mood and structure of music based on their own subjective impressions using an objective framework.

PHASE I : SELF EVALUATION AND SELF-AWARENESS IN CONJUCTION TO OUR EXPERIENCES IS CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF BREAKING DOWN THE PARTS OF OUR EXPERIENCE TO EVALUATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF AND THOSE THINGS TRANSPIRING.
The - Mind - Mechanic
Drina Quintana
The-Mind-Mechanic 2023
We're down to the wire, everyone. 2022 is coming to an end, the countdown has begun. Everything we've absorbed and accomplished in the past 12 months is at our disposal, now what? First off, I think we all deserve a huge pat on the back for making it this far, especially if we're still smiling and shining with the best of them. Seriously, give yourself a hand. Second, the possibilities for this next year are limitless. Many of us will grow & thrive in the coming year, huge opportunities will present themselves and adventures to plan and play will be abundant; things to do, places to go and people to see. "Complete life transformations." On the other hand, many of us will take on the most challenging year of our life due to unforeseen circumstances rolling over from 2022. Regardless of which end of the spectrum we all find ourselves, we're all here together.
That's huge.
As I rip this entire site apart, build and shoot product, create content and work to build the largest community-based project I've ever personally taken on, maintaining balance is key. Soon, #thementaltoybox will come to life and so will you. As I build this fantastic mind park, happiness, health and connection are three of the key ingredients that will bring everything to life. Eco-friendly functional lifestyle accessories are just one very small piece of the pie, a dream so lovingly thought up 14 years ago. Feel-good exercises, PPV (pay per view) content and happy reminders will be available for your selection process.
Once you've spent ample time playing in the fun house, feeling yourself out, and realizing that you're just as mad as the rest of us, perhaps taking the next step to get raw and real with yourself about what's really going on, will feel good and you'll advance to do more one-on-one work with the-mind-mechanic content and / or session work. Consider also the possibility of content creation collaboration for use in The Mental Toybox to help others by association. Maintaining life's magnificence requires skill and support on all levels, something I'm honored to help nurture. "I create space for happiness to happen."
Stay Tuned! There's a lot of magic taking place as we speak. We have 3 more days to complete everything we wish to release with 2022 and 4 more days until seeds begin to blossom and the garden blows up with everything good and great. Let's do this, I'm beyond grateful.
Much love, Alejandrina

What Does Barry Ferguson Say about Steven Gerrard?
Glasgow Rangers icon Barry Ferguson is disappointed with the performance of Alfredo Morelos. He has openly shown his displeasure saying that the ace player has lost his previous zeal. He suspects that this poor performance could hamper Steven Gerrard's future.
Ferguson writing in the Daily Record said that Cedric Itten and Kemar Roofe are set to return this month and Jermain Defoe is expected to return after the international break. In this way, Colombia forward is going to emerge as a strong team.
He has further admitted that "I was not happy with Morelos because his display completely disappointed me. I was expecting him to be more energetic and eager to properly prove him". He further wrote that "I was expecting a lot from him and I've stood up a number of occasions for him but I wasn't happy with that particular performance at Livingston".
Sharing his displeasure, he wrote that "I fully expected him to have the bit between the teeth again now that there is more competition for places." He further said that "I expected him to send out the message, 'I'm the No.9 here and nobody is taking my shirt!'. "But on Sunday he didn't look like he had any real zeal for the battle and that must be a big concern for the manager".
Morelos was performing best at the beginning of the season and he had scored two goals. According to critics, his performance against Livi was average at the best. However, Gerrard had said earlier this month that he was sure Morelos would be perfect and the current performance doesn't mean that the player will perform poorly in the future too.
So, his expectation was too high and this poor performance may add another blot for the wrong prediction.

BAZ BAMIGBOYE: Scorsese's big new film? It's Ken's Macbeth
By Baz Bamigboye for the Daily Mail
Martin Scorsese is planning to film Sir Kenneth Branagh as Macbeth — at an old World War II airfield.
Oscar-winning director Scorsese has agreed to shoot the stage production of Macbeth that starred Branagh and Alex Kingston, and was directed jointly by Branagh and Rob Ashford, at Leavesden in Hertfordshire.
The idea is for Scorsese to shine a light on the muddy, bloody version of the Scottish play that was originally staged during the Manchester International Festival two years ago.

Scorsese became excited when he saw Branagh and his troupe perform the play in New York last year.
As I reported here back in January, the film-maker saw the production several times and engaged Branagh in talks about making a film — more of a documentary, really, about this particular acclaimed version than a fully realised, dramatic interpretation of the play.
The plan, for next year, is for Branagh and Ashford to reassemble as many of the original company as possible and perform the play over a period of two to three weeks, while Scorsese and his cameras capture it.

Discussions about how it's going to be done are still ongoing, so no decision has been made about whether there will be an audience watching the performances at Leavesden. And if there is, will they pay? Or will they just be extras, paid to observe and applaud?
Branagh already knows Leavesden well. Part of the Harry Potter film The Chamber Of Secrets — in which he played the vain half-blood wizard Professor Gilderoy Lockhart — was shot there.
First, though, the actor-director has to get his theatre company up and running.
Its inaugural season will kick off at the Garrick Theatre with The Winter's Tale, starring Judi Dench, this October and end in November 2016, with Branagh playing Archie Rice in John Osborne's The Entertainer.
Scorsese's Macbeth won't clash with the Macbeth film being screened at the Cannes Film Festival in a week's time.
That one, directed by Justin Kurzel, stars Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, and is a thrilling, visually stunning cinematic version of Shakespeare's work — which, anyway, will be released long before Scorsese and his crew start work at Leavesden well into next year.
Actor Jason Watkins's best acting win at the TV Bafta Awards on Sunday — for his portrayal of falsely accused teacher Christopher Jefferies in the ITV drama The Lost Honour Of Christopher Jefferies — had a much wider impact. Because not only was it a tribute to him, it was also a nod to all the unsung top actors who, for whatever reason, aren't very well known, but are incredible thespians all the same.

Jane Seymour plays a 'tough' dance teacher in the film High Strung
Gus Van Sant, the director whose film The Sea Of Trees, starring Matthew McConaughey, Naomi Watts and Ken Watanabe, is being shown in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Van Sant will receive an early prize tonight at the seventh Annual Filmmakers Award, hosted by film (and food) impresario Charles Finch and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Van Sant will attend the dinner at the Hotel Du Cap which, outside of the opening and closing ceremonies, is the high point of the festival.
Jane Seymour (right), who told me that she plays a 'tough' dance teacher in the film High Strung, which is being sold in the Cannes Film Festival market. 'There's hip-hop, ballet, some Irish line-dancing, and I have to keep my students in order. My character's a tough task-mistress. And, yes, I do dance in the film. Not a lot, but enough,' she said, giving a smile that reminded me of Solitaire, the character she played in the Bond film Live And Let Die. 'Dance and exercise are the secret,' she said, before I could even ask how she kept so trim.
Benjamin Millepied, the director of the Paris Opera Ballet, who choreographed an exquisite suite inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 movie Vertigo. The piece was performed during the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony against a huge screen running clips of James Stewart and Kim Novak, with dancers wearing costumes inspired by those worn by the stars in the film. Millepied said he hoped to explore other classic movies. He also hopes that the Paris Opera Ballet will play a season at Sadler's Wells next year.
Meanwhile, his actress wife Natalie Portman's new film, A Tale Of Love And Darkness, is showing at the festival. She wrote, directed and appears in the picture, based on Amos Oz's novel.
