Abstract: The present disclosure allows a user to influence the position of a thread in an Internet forum in exchange for payment. The user can sponsor a particular thread by paying the forum provider to position the thread in a favorable position within the list of threads on the forum. For example, if threads are typically listed on the forum in reverse chronological order with respect to the latest posting within a thread, a sponsored thread might be bumped to the top of the list regardless of the time since the latest posting in the thread. In other words, by sponsoring a thread, a user pays the forum provider to offset the timeliness (or lack thereof) of the thread, or whatever factors determine the natural order of the list.

Abstract: A trap for mosquitos or biting insects. The trap utilizes combustion to generate CO2, which is used as an attractant. An elongate gas tip holder is provided for the mosquito trap and is removable without disassembly of the mosquito trap and with one or no tools. Combustion gases are routed down a column of the mosquito trap to a diffuser located in the base. An attractant such as octenol may be mounted in the column. A circuit is also provided for indicating operation of the mosquito trap.

Abstract: In the case of a light duty oil burner designed for an hourly flow rate of less than 5 kg of oil, the oil burner having a nozzle head (3) associated with a heat exchanger (1), the nozzle head having an injection nozzle (7) mounted on a centrally positioned nozzle holder (8) and supplied with oil, and an outer combustion tube (4) placed around the holder of the injection nozzle (7) with the formation of a combustion air duct (5) connected with an air supply, it is possible to obtain a high overall efficiency and a good compatibility with the environment, while at the same time keeping to the basic concept of conventional light duty burners, by so designing the burner that the oil flow rate through the injection nozzle (7), that is in the form of a non-return spin or simplex nozzle with a constant nozzle cross section, and the air flow rate in keeping with the instantaneous oil flow rate, through the combustion air duct (5) may be controlled in keeping with the load, the air flow rate through the combustion air
