Abstract: A method and a system implementing a service level agreement based storage access system. A service level agreement based storage access system presents a single interface for data storage consumers and translates generic data operation requests to data operation request specific to a storage server. The SLA based storage access system also monitors storage server performance and may throttle processes to ensure service level agreements are not violated.

Abstract: A host identifies a user at a client computer and transmits listings of property or goods or services to the client computer for display to the user. The host logs the transmitted listings and the dates of the transmissions. A claim from the user that he has entered into a transaction corresponding to one of those listings is received. The claim is validated if the user entered into the transaction after the corresponding listing was transmitted for display to the user. In response to the validation, provision of a reward to the user is facilitated.

Abstract: A host receives one or more listings of property or goods or services. A plurality of rewards and criteria for providing such reward to users who enter into transactions corresponding to the listings are received. A claim from the user that he has entered into a transaction corresponding to one of those listings is received. The claim is validated. In response to the validation, provision of a reward to the user in accordance with the criteria is facilitated.

Abstract: A method for treating plants in need of growth promotion, comprising applying to said plants, to the seeds from which they grow or to the locus in which they grow, a non-phytotoxic, effective plant growth promoting amount of an amide compound having the formula A-CO—NR1R2 in which A is an aryl group or an aromatic or non-aromatic, 5- or 6-membered heterocycle which has from 1 to 3 hetero atoms which are selected from O, N and S; where the aryl group or the heterocycle may or may not have 1, 2 or 3 substituents which are selected, independently of one another, from alkyl, halogen, CHF2, CF3, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl and alkylsulfonyl; R1 is a hydrogen atom; R2 is a phenyl or cycloalkyl group which may or may not have 1, 2 or 3 substituents which are selected, independently of one another, from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkyloxy, cycloalkenyloxy, phenyl and halogen, where the aliphatic and cycloaliphatic radicals may be partially
