Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards employing a plurality of tag states to control tag suspension based on an asynchronous process that proactively monitors tag performance, response times, and latency. Tags may be in one of multiple states. Tags in a NORMAL state or a FLAGGED state may be enabled for deployment, and tags in a SUSPENSION A state or a SUSPENSION B state may be blocked from deployment. A tag's state may change based on monitoring the tag's latency to determine if latent events occur. Tag latency may be asynchronously monitored independent of web page requests. If latent events occur, then the tag's state may change from NORMAL to FLAGGED, from FLAGGED to SUSPENSION A, or from SUSPENSION B to SUSPENSION_A. If non-latent events occur, then the tag's state may change from SUSPENSION B to FLAGGED or from FLAGGED to NORMAL, while a tag's state may change from SUSPENSION_A to SUSPENSION_B after a predetermined time period.

Abstract: A mobile application may be used to track sales consultants' businesses, such as by tracking a local inventory maintained by the consultant. Determining whether local inventory is sufficient for fulfilling a sales order may be assisted by updating a database of the application with restocking information. Such restocking information may be obtained through a camera of the mobile device scanning a barcode or QR code or other information, such as recognizing text on a package. Information in the picture may be associated with inventory restocking information or be used to fetch restocking information.

Abstract: A mobile application may be used to track sales consultants' businesses, such as by tracking a local inventory maintained by the consultant. Determining whether local inventory is sufficient for fulfilling a sales order may be assisted by updating a database of the application with restocking information. The local inventory may be insufficient for fulfilling some sales orders. However, other sales consultants' inventory may be checked to identify peer consultants who may be able to assist in completing the sales order by performing peer-to-peer delivery of some or all items in a sales order.

Abstract: A system, method, apparatus and processor readable media are described for real-time prediction of an advertising audience volume through analysis of historical audience data, and tuning of the predicted audience volume. Embodiments enable a user to specify a query for audience volume prediction. Such a query may be a Boolean combination of various audience categories. A time range may be determined that indicates the amount of historical data that is to be analyzed to make the audience volume prediction in real time. Employing the user-specified query, an audience volume prediction may be provided for a future time period, based on an analysis of retrieved historical audience data for the time range. Embodiments may also enable a user to tune the predicted audience volume through modification of the query through one or more iterations.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and methods for its use that is configured to be used to treat various skin conditions. The apparatus includes a water-permeable absorbent material and a plant material comprising a water-soluble skin-active ingredient. The plant material is enclosed within the water-permeable absorbent material, and the water-permeable absorbent material is configured to absorb water and allow the absorbed water to contact the plant material so as to release the active ingredient from the plant material. The active ingredient is then absorbed by the absorbent material, which is then topically applied to skin in need of skin treatment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for reducing the appearance of a wrinkle on skin comprising topically applying to said wrinkle a composition that includes an effective amount of ornithine, retinol, Commiphora mukul resin or an extract thereof, and hyaluronic acid, wherein topical application of the composition reduces the appearance of said wrinkle within 120 seconds after application of the composition, and wherein topical application of said composition stimulates adipogenesis in said skin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of firming skin or reducing the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles comprising topically applying, to skin in need thereof, a composition comprising palmitoyl tetrapeptide 7 and a dermatologically acceptable vehicle comprising water, glycerin, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, and a chelating agent, wherein topical application of the composition to the skin firms the skin or reduces the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles, and wherein the composition is not a sunless tanning composition.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for their use that include a combination of Rhododendron ferrugineum (alpine rose) extract, Oenothera biennis (evening rose) extract, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2, and a cosmetic acceptable vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of treating skin in need thereof, the method comprising topically applying to the skin a composition comprising an effective amount of an ethanolic or a butanolic extract from the leaf and stem of Docynia delavajy, wherein the composition reduces oxidation in the skin, reduces tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) in the skin, or reduces metalloprotease-1 (MMP-1) activity in the skin.
