Abstract: Described herein is technology for, among other things, global provisioning of a service. The technology involves a provisioning server obtaining location information for a client. The provisioning server determines an appropriate deployment unit, based on the location information, to which the client will be assigned. The provisioning server transmits assignment information for the appropriate deployment unit to the client. The client then communicatively couples to the assigned deployment unit and begins receiving the service from the deployment unit.

Abstract: Novel 3-(N-piperidinyl)methyl benzamide derivatives are disclosed. The compounds can be used in treating diseases and conditions which are associated with abnormal cell function related to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. For example, the compounds can be used as suppressors of ER stress-induced pancreatic ?-cell dysfunction and death, for example in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract: A social networking system maintains characteristics with its users, with various characteristics, such as age, specified by the users (i.e., “asserted characteristics”). The social networking system selects content for a user based at least in part on the characteristics associated with the user. To account for potential inaccuracies in an asserted age of a user, the social networking system clusters users based on ages of other users connected to users. The online system receives verified ages for users in a cluster from a trusted third party system that maintains more accurate characteristics for users than the social networking system. By comparing the asserted ages for users in the cluster to the verified ages for users in the cluster, the social networking system determines an accuracy of the asserted ages for users in the cluster. The accuracy may be used when selecting content for the users.

Abstract: Benzylamino-oxoethyl benzamide compounds for use in treating diseases and conditions associated with abnormal cell function related to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. For example, the compounds can be used as suppressors of ER stress-induced pancreatic ?-cell dysfunction and death, for example in the treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The compounds can also be used in treatments for chronic heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, retinal degeneration, and other metabolic disorders associated with ER stress.

Abstract: An online system maintains characteristics for its users and may access characteristics of users maintained by a third party system. The online system may select content for a user of the third party system based on characteristics maintained by the third party system. If the third party system does not maintain a characteristic for its users, the generates a model predicting the characteristic for third party system users based on a set of online system users identified based on characteristics of third party system users. The online system clusters third party system users based on the predicted characteristic for other third party system users connected to the third party system user. Using verified characteristics for third party system users from a trusted third party system, the online system determines an accuracy of the predicted characteristic for third party system users in a cluster.
