Abstract: Systems, software, financial exchanges, and methods for a new global finical exchange are described. In one aspect, the present invention provides an exchange that lists sector, country, regional, and world electronically traded electronic representations of instruments on a set of representative global equity indices based on a single source, on an electronic exchange, open nearly 24-hours every business day, in one base currency, with periodic (annual) normalized index prices, utilizing a unique share-sized derivatives instrument as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/074,687, having cross margining, yearly expirations, associated options, and realized volatility instruments. All of these features combined into one comprehensive package will attract market participants because of a better-designed product, utilizing capital in the most efficient way possible, with features not found, or not commonly found, on any exchange, and with many cost-saving elements.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for collecting and processing change of address data and providing change of address services to a customer using a computer network.

Abstract: A wild bird feeder comprising a container and a base. A cable extends through the container and the base and is provided with a hanging loop at one end and a bottom cover at the other end for retaining the components of the bird feeder between them and suspending the bird feeder in a hanging position when hung from a tree or otherwise. The container comprises and is formed by a cover, a dome, a collar, and a hopper. The cover is provided with a star shaped opening that frictionally engages with the hanging cable for enabling the separation of the cover from the dome to fill the bird feeder when the bird feeder is in the hanging position. The collar comprises a plurality of divider walls for creating a plurality of sections to direct the bird feed when filling the bird feeder. The hopper comprises a vertical column having a plurality of ports. The base comprises a tray having a conical shaped cone that is centrally located within the vertical column for directing the bird seed out the plurality of ports.

The container comprises and is formed by a cover, a dome, a collar, and a hopper. In use, the cover can be detached from the dome to expose a first opening and/or the cover and dome can be detached from the hopper to expose a second opening to pour bird seed into the bird feeder, the star shaped opening of the cover frictionally engaging the cable to retain the cover and/or the cover and dome in their respective open positions during re-filling of the bird feeder.

Abstract: Computer systems, methods, and exchanges for generating and trading novel investment products (“V?lshares”) are described. In some embodiments, the computer system comprises a computer-readable storage medium including data encoding a value for the V?lshare based on an underlying. The computer-readable storage medium further includes data encoding an expiration date for the V?lshare. The computer-readable storage medium of the computer further includes data encoding a price for trading the V?lshare, the price for trading being a function of the underlying. The computer-readable storage medium also includes data encoding an alpha-numeric symbol for the V?lshare. The computer is configured to enable execution of trades of the V?lshare on a platform, such as options platform, an OTC platform, or a platform especially designed for the trading of V?lshares, on which shares of fully collateralized instruments are traded.
