Abstract: A shower assembly includes a telescoping rod assembly for placement between opposing walls. The rod assembly includes an outer rod having opposite open ends and a spring-biased inner rod mounted inside the outer rod for axial movement in relation to the outer rod such as to allow adjustment of an axial length of the rod assembly. A control valve can be attached to a water-supply line for controlling discharge of water from the one. A tubular member having one end connected to the valve and another end enters a valve-proximate one of the open ends of the outer rod. A primary shower head is connected to the other end of the tubular member at a location distal to the valve-proximate one of the open ends.

Abstract: Techniques for providing an in-place contextual menu and user interface for email and other information management system triage are provided in which a contextual menu can be overlaid or replace an item on a view screen. The contextual menu can provide action commands specific to the type and state of the items selected in the feature view of the email or other information management system. A single recognized selection input, such as a swipe gesture, selects an item and invokes an in-place contextual menu presenting actions that can be asserted on the selected item. Multiple item selection is available through the same invocation of presenting the in-place contextual menu.

Abstract: In a method of making a financial transaction, a distinctive identification of a buyer is registered with an institution which assigns the identification of the buyer to data stored by the institution. A purchase by the buyer at a point of sale is approved by the institution, when the identification transmitted to the institution at the point of purchase and the data are verified by the institution. At a time after the institution has approved the purchase, the buyer selects the form of payment to be charged for the purchase, when the purchase is above a predefined minimum charge.
