Abstract: A system for communication over a network is provided. The system has a module in communication with an application and the network, wherein the module is configured to create an event using an application, wherein the event comprises a first media upload by a first authorized user, receive permission from the first authorized user to transmit the event, store, on a server, the first media upload, transmit the first upload media to a second user in an authorized group of users upon request by the second user, wherein the transmission is permitted only for a first predetermined amount time, receive, at the server, a second media upload from the second authorized user in response to the first media upload and store, on a server, the second media upload until the first authorized party is ready to view the second media upload, wherein the server is configured to store the second media upload for a second predetermined amount of time. A method for communication over a network is also provided.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product include a plurality of clients in communication with a network enabling bidirectional communication between the clients. Each of the clients includes a client application for enabling users to issue a request for engaging in a selected formal debate. Users are enabled to issue a request for finding opposition to engage in the selected formal debate. Users are enabled to select a topic for the formal debate. Users are enabled to upload at least one supporting media upload for supporting a first viewpoint of the selected topic. Users are enabled to upload at least one opposing media upload for rebutting the first viewpoint. Users are enabled to post ranking results from outside entities viewing the supporting media and the opposing media, thereby enabling users engaging in the selected formal debate to be ranked and a winner of the selected formal debate to be determined.

Abstract: A portable survival kit includes a housing defining an internal compartment. One or more rechargeable energy sources are inside the compartment. One or more electrical generators are associated with the housing. Each electrical generator is adapted to facilitate charging of at least one of the rechargeable energy sources. One or more electrical elements are associated with the housing and each electrical element is adapted to receive electrical energy from at least one of the rechargeable energy sources. Also, a source of edible human nourishment is stored inside the compartment.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of improving the sweetness delivery profile of a sucralose-containing ingestible composition, which comprises incorporating therein DHB at a DHB:sucralose weight ratio of from about 0.01% to about 100%.

Abstract: Chewing gum compositions are described that include one or more stereoisomers of monatin, a naturally occurring high-intensity sweetener.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel sweetener compositions comprising monatin and methods for making such compositions. The present invention also relates to sweetener compositions comprising specific monatin stereoisomers, specific blends of monatin stereoisomers, and/or monatin produced via a biosynthetic pathway in vivo (e.g., inside cells) or in vitro.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel beverage compositions comprising monatin and methods for making such compositions. The present invention also relates to beverage compositions comprising specific monatin stereoisomers, specific blends of monatin stereoisomers, and/or monatin produced via a biosynthetic pathway in vivo (e.g., inside cells) or in vitro.
