Eight fresh products just for teens and young adults.
Clear Start™ was created by the skin health experts at Dermalogica, the brand that's been changing the face of skin care for more than 25 years. It became clear that no one was addressing the needs of teens – not only with products that get results, but also with the education they need – when Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand's own daughters entered their teenage years.
Skin care product choices available to teens may be ample, but they aren't good choices. Products for teens often contain harsh and inexpensive ingredients to strip the skin of oil, and are filled with artificial fragrances and colors – all things that can irritate and strip oil from skin, causing more problems than you started with!

Caring for history
By Craig Muder
Tina Carey stood up from her chair at the Hall of Fame's Giamatti Research Center and identified herself as the granddaughter of Max Carey.
But for anyone who knew or had seen pictures of the Hall of Fame centerfielder of the Pirates and Dodgers, no introduction was necessary.
"I've got his eyebrows and his chin," said Tina, pouring over pictures of Max from the Hall of Fame's archive. "Look how young he looks in these. My memories of him are all when he was in his 70s."
Tina Carey came to Cooperstown on Monday from her home in Virginia, bringing with her warm memories of her famous grandfather. Tina's father, Donald F. Carey, was one of Max's three children – born in 1925, the year Max and his Pittsburgh Pirates won the World Series. Donald Carey passed away last year.
Tina was born in 1961 – the year Max was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"My grandfather moved to Miami Beach right after he left baseball," said Tina, whose famous relative retired as a player following the 1929 season before managing the Dodgers in 1932 and 1933. "I remember that in his house in Miami he had this little room plastered with all the photos and clippings from his career. I'd sit on a chair in that room and we'd watch baseball games on TV."
Max Carey passed away in 1976 following a career working in the dog racing industry. His big league baseball career began in 1910 with the Pirates – but was almost derailed by a higher calling.
"He was in seminary school to become an Episcopalian minister, but he just loved baseball," Tina said. "He never made more than $16,000 a year as a ballplayer, and he lost more than $100,000 in the 1929 stock market crash. But he was very smart with his money, and very smart on the field."
Max Carey was a fleet-footed centerfielder, stealing 738 bases (still ninth on the all-time list) while leading the National League 10 times, banging out 2,665 hits and leading the league in putouts nine times. Later, Carey managed in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and also served as the league president.
But for Tina Carey, Max George Carey was more than a ballplayer. He was grandpa.
"He believed in fundamental baseball: Getting on base any way possible and not swinging for the fences," Tina Carey said. "He would have been successful in anything he did. It's wonderful to see his history here at the Hall of Fame."
Craig Muder is director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

The phrase "flat is the new up" became a mantra in recent years when it came to assessing newsstand sales. Well, as core fashion titles, women's service books and men's magazines have almost universally posted declines in their single-copy sales in the first half of 2008, how does "less down is the new up" sound?
To wit, Hachette Filipacchi Media's Tom Masterson, senior vice president for consumer marketing and manufacturing, pointed out that, while Elle's newsstand was down 6.3 percent in the first six months, "many of Elle's competitors decreased more."
That's true — Vogue was down nearly 15 percent, though it still outsells Elle on the newsstand by an average of about 50,000 copies monthly; Harper's Bazaar fell 8.3 percent, and W, which gets the vast majority of sales through subscription, was down 10 percent.
Or take Shape, which was down about 10 percent overall on the newsstand in the first half, but still averaged higher total sales than the troubled fitness category in general. (Self had the dubious honor of being less down, but is still smaller; Shape has beefed up its distribution at checkout and added 17,000 pockets nationwide.)
Growing market share might be the last remaining competitive advantage in an environment where nearly every editor in chief is seeing the kind of declines that once would have gotten them fired. The long-standing expectation that a healthy magazine is one that sees successive growth on the newsstand is in question — you can't exactly fire everyone.
Whether the change is cyclical (uncertain economic times that include high gas prices, fewer supermarket trips and less disposable income) or secular (consumer behavior is undergoing a fundamental change away from newsstand, or from print magazines themselves) depends on whom you ask. Editors and publishers would have it be the former.
"I don't think newsstand softness is systemic to magazines, but rather systemic to the economy," said O, The Oprah Magazine publisher Jill Seelig.
But some advertisers and observers are beginning to wonder whether the second diagnosis is upon us. As consumers' attention fractures, spoiled by choice and easy digital access, the culture and entertainment industries already have adjusted their expectations, counting smaller sales numbers than ever as blockbusters. The magazine industry might be falling prey to the same tectonic shift.
Several magazines, such as Glamour and Marie Claire, have seen disappointing sales for several periods in a row, even when the economy was flush, suggesting more of an overall move away from big women's titles. (Perhaps in reaction, Glamour unveiled a redesign this month.) Even newsstand stalwart Cosmopolitan dropped 6 percent in this period, a difference of more than 100,000 copies, after essentially flat newsstand sales since 2004.

Great, mostly
Our master bath suite is 230 square feet and I thought I bought a big enough system for the toilet room, shower area, tub area and the large walk-in closet. Turns out I could not heat the walk-in closet because I should have ordered a larger floor area. The coverage area I thought was not enough.
That being said we absolutely love the system, it was easy to install and my wife loves it. Turns out that she is fine with the walk-in closet not being heated floors. We have a family room that is 300 SF that we are going to put tile in and will be buying the system again for that room. We are very satisfied with the exception of the advertised coverage area. You folks might want to adjust the actual floor area that can be covered.

Case | HBS Case Collection | January 2015 (Revised January 2015) $19B 4 txt app WhatsApp...omg! David J. Collis and Ashley Hartman In February 2014, Facebook announced the acquisition of WhatsApp for $19 billion. WhatsApp, founded in 2009, was a relatively young company that employed only 50 people and earned merely $10 million in revenue in 2013. It was one of many mobile messaging services that allowed users to contact each other without paying costly text message fees. However, its popularity and growth potential enticed Facebook, a company facing many challenges and looking for opportunities to expand its user base. Facebook, the social networking website that allowed users to share information with friends, believed WhatsApp was a logical next step that would help it achieve its mission of "making the world more open and connected." When Facebook announced the acquisition, it vowed to keep WhatsApp operating independently, letting the founders control the direction of the company and allowing WhatsApp to stay true to its mission. Yet, many debated the logic behind paying so much for such a small company with limited revenue streams. Was Facebook correct to purchase WhatsApp? Even at $22 billion? How could it create value if it did not integrate WhatsApp with Facebook? Keywords: WhatsApp; Facebook; Mobile Messaging; social network; Acquisitions; value added; strategy alignment; monetization; social platforms; technology; Strategy; Corporate Strategy; Communications Industry; Information Technology Industry; Citation:Collis, David J., and Ashley Hartman.

Case | HBS Case Collection | January 2015 Nasty Gals Do It Better David Collis, Diane Chang, Matthew Shaffer and Ashley Hartman In 2006, Sophia Amoruso started Nasty Gal, an eBay boutique selling vintage clothes. With a strong sense of style and personality, Amoruso poured herself into building the brand and developing relationships with her customers—typically the slightly edgy 18-24 year old. The company had grown since that time into a multi-category retailer, expanding into third party clothing, accessories and its own private label. Its explosive growth was one of the biggest stories in e-commerce, especially when the retailer attracted $50m in investment from Index Ventures, a top VC firm that funded other successful retailers such as Net-a-Porter and Etsy, in 2013. Yet, with a cash infusion, plans for a brick and mortar store, an ever-growing e-commerce site, and fierce competition, Amoruso wondered what opportunity to tackle next. Should she concentrate on product line expansion into lingerie, swimwear, cosmetics and fragrances? How would a brick and mortar store impact the focus of the company or its ability to develop customized web sites for overseas markets? How would she maintain the detail and attention she had put into so many aspects of the company as Nasty Gal grew? As Sophia's time was limited and management resources were already spread thin to sustain the existing site's growth, what was the best way forward?

Case | HBS Case Collection | December 2014 (Revised January 2015) Group Functions at the Maersk Group David Collis and Matthew Shaffer In 2014, seven years after he was appointed CEO of the Danish shipping and oil conglomerate A.P. Møller Maersk (the Maersk Group), Nils Andersen was reexamining the size and role of corporate headquarters in the company he had reshaped as a "premium conglomerate." During his tenure, Andersen had divided what had previously been operated as almost a single entity into separate lines of business, each accountable for its own performance and expected to deal at arms-length with its "sister" businesses, while substantially reducing the size and functions of the corporate headquarters. But as the business units (BUs) and corporate headquarters adjusted to their new roles, new issues surfaced.

Few themes have prevailed as consistently through the history of art as that of the nude. Some of Michelangelo, Klimt and Matisse's most enduring works have been of the naked body, with each bringing a unique interpretation of human beauty.

All the romance and nostalgia of the mills tradition. Let the well-signposted 320km Mills Route be your guide to the hidden treasures of the mills region in the far north-east of Westphalia.
The Westphalian Mills Route is a remarkable 'mills museum' that links 43 windmills, watermills and horse treadmills, most of them still operational, as well as Germany' only functional ship mill on the river Weser near Minden. These delightful mills, which offer a real trip down memory lane, blend harmoniously into the idyllic landscape. The popular milling and baking days are the perfect way to experience the traditional craft of milling, as skilled amateur millers and heritage-minded countryfolk demonstrate to city dwellers how grain is milled to make flour and then baked into nourishing bread in stone ovens. These mills did not only produce flour for bread, however, but also barley malt for Minden beer, highly prized since Hanseatic times.Besides historical mills and bakehouses the region offers many other cultural attractions, from fascinating museums and artists' studios to attractive farms with distinctive gardens. It also has a 250-year-old bathing tradition, based around what used to be known as the 'rustic spas'. The Mills Route is ideal for combining a cycle tour with rail travel, for 'mill hopping' by motor scooter, leisurely covered wagon rides, a river cruise or a trip on a nostalgic railway. But don't be tempted to try and rush through all of the destinations as if you were on a 'mills rally'. A route that covers more than 1,000 years of history deserves a bit more time than that.

Just purchased this unit to replace on that was 6 years and 2 months old. The prior one is a boat anchor with some parts that might help me keep the new one running. The timer relay board failed on the last one and there are none in the free world. No one can fix it, just in time for Christmas. Sears first offered me a 10% coupon on the first $1000 of a replacement ($100) and after several calls, then blue ribbon support upped the offer to $200. However I couldn't use it at the outlet and still get the 5% sears card discount. The stainless scratches easily and the cook top is not very durable. However it is one of the only items that is 40 inches wide to fit our custom cabinets so what can we do.

I love the look of this range. It replace the old one that had the griddle in the middle. I read the reviews from others but I was still shocked by how cheaply made the bottom drawer, the back control panel and the side oven door was. The side oven door doesn't seem to close correctly, doesn't line up with the other oven as shown in the picture. However, it does shut better than the other, closure piece instead of magnet as with the other one. I love the burner selection on top!

I bought this to fit where a 1960 40in stove was, as I didn't want to buy all new cabinets. I had read the reviews about small oven, only 1 rack, top scratched easily, etc. but figured I could live with that. I have had it for 4 months. Was suprised at how difficult it is to clean glass cook top.I had to buy the stainless steel cleaner to get the finger prints off, difficult to remove. However there is one feature that the others have not commented on. Be careful not to spill something on the top that goes over the front edge. It can leak on to the top of the oven door. There are vent holes there that go BEHIND the glass. You can not get in to clean and it looks terrible. This happen at a party and I didn't find out until everyone went home. I will probably have to call a repair man and have the door taken apart to get at it. WHAT A POOR DESIGN! If I had to do over, I would not buy this stove.
Olympia, WA
via sears.com
Nice looking design, but poor quality fit when assembled. Small oven door is warped and gaps open almost a 1/4" - this isn't acceptable for cooking. Who can fix this? Cook top and right side panel don't align, side panel extends past the cooktop about 1/8" at the rear of the stove. Something isn't square.

We purchased this to replace a GE branded older version of this same range style. We have been very pleased with all of the features and appearance. The ceramic cooking surface is exceptional and about as close to cooking with gas as possible. Only criticsim is that the stainless trim around the cooking surface is very easy to scratch, especially across the front. We solved this by using a Nashua brand transparent duct tape and place a strip on the front. It does a great job of protecting the stainless and because it is duct tape it is heat resistant.

New chocolate combining health and indulgence: Barry Callebaut obtains dentists' endorsement for its newly developed tooth friendly chocolate
- Barry Callebaut's new non-laxative chocolate receives "Happy Tooth" quality seal from Toothfriendly International
- New chocolate has been scientifically tested by dental experts and is guaranteed safe for teeth
- Barry Callebaut sees great potential for its new tooth friendly chocolate, especially in the children's segment
Wieze/Belgium, September 28, 2007 - Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products, receives the "Happy Tooth" endorsement from the dental experts of the Toothfriendly International organization for its new non-laxative chocolate. Barry Callebaut's new tooth friendly chocolate has undergone a stringent testing procedure. Accredited university dental institutes have certified that the isomaltulose-based chocolate is guaranteed safe for teeth. Isomaltulose is a natural constituent of honey and sugar cane and has a very natural sweet taste. Unlike sucrose, isomaltulose is tooth friendly and not laxative.
Barry Callebaut sees potential for tooth friendly chocolate especially in the children's segment. "The advantage of our chocolate is that it is safe for teeth and has no laxative effect. Barry Callebaut is the only one to offer a tooth friendly chocolate for which clinical studies have been conducted and for which dentists' endorsement is obtained," explains Barry Callebaut Chief Innovation Officer, Hans Vriens.
Unlike sucrose, isomaltulose does not promote tooth decay and is digested much slower, resulting in a low glycemic and low insulinemic response. As isomaltulose is a natural carbohydrate, consumers do not have to worry about "artificial" ingredients in their chocolate. It is also fully digestible, so there is no reason to worry about laxative side effects either.
The first tooth friendly chocolate samples are the culmination of a co-operation between Barry Callebaut and the German-based functional carbohydrate specialist Palatinit GmbH. Palatinit markets isomaltulose under the trade name Palatinose™.
Claudia Meissner, the Head of Marketing at Palatinit believes that isomaltulose may soon find first applications in kids chocolate products. Until now, isomaltulose has been mainly used in sports, wellness and functional drinks. "The market for healthier snacks is still largely an untapped market, though consumer demand is rising rapidly. We think that the industry will pick up this uniquely new tooth friendly chocolate concept fast," explains Claudia Meissner.

Fraunhofer IIS Selects Mentor Graphics Catapult C Synthesis for Advanced Signal Processing Applications
WILSONVILLE, Ore., March 8, 2005 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, a world-renown audio and video research laboratory located in Erlangen, Germany, has selected the Mentor Graphics Catapult C Synthesis tool for use in next-generation digital broadcast applications. After an evaluation comparing leading high-level synthesis tools, Fraunhofer IIS chose the Catapult C Synthesis tool based on quality of results, time savings, ease of use, and the tool's compatibility with the company's C/C++ design flow.
"During our evaluation, we found Catapult C's quality of results and ease of use to be very convincing. Using the tool, we expect a 5 - 10x improvement in productivity for algorithmic blocks, compared to HDL synthesis," said Frank Mayer, design manager, Fraunhofer IIS. "The Catapult C tool's ability to use pure C code as input fits very well in our design flow, allowing us to automatically generate hardware directly from our untimed C/C++ system models regardless of the target technology. Based on the success of our evaluation, we immediately deployed Catapult C in production design projects."
Fraunhofer IIS develops digital broadcast applications that depend on complex digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms. The organization typically implements the full system in field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) as a prototype for real-time performance validation before retargeting the design to an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for production. Manual register-transfer level (RTL) creation for FPGA prototypes and ASICs were found to be too inefficient and error prone, and left no time for design space exploration. This triggered the decision to explore high-level synthesis to reduce manual development time and validation effort.
For the past five years, Fraunhofer IIS has employed first-generation behavioral synthesis, using traditional HDL input, to shorten device development time. Recently, the organization decided to move beyond behavioral synthesis to explore algorithmic synthesis, which uses pure, untimed system models as input. Algorithmic synthesis requires far less implementation effort, allowing designers to specify interfaces and hierarchy using constraints, and instantly target FPGA or ASIC implementations with the push of a button.
The Catapult C Synthesis tool is the only product to synthesize a C++ source where both the core algorithm and interface are untimed. As a result, designers can perform detailed "what-if" analysis on varying micro-architecture and interface scenarios achieving fully optimized hardware designs. The tool creates RTL that can be synthesized into gates using standard RTL synthesis products, enabling it to fit within a wide variety of tool flows.
"Fraunhofer IIS is an expert in using high-level synthesis to achieve time-to-market and quality goals for their communication and broadcasting systems," said Simon Bloch, general manager of Mentor Graphics' Design Creation and Synthesis Division. "We are honored that such an outstanding organization has selected Catapult C Synthesis as it deploys the benefits of algorithmic synthesis."

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
I like searching out heirloom seeds and growing old heirloom produce.
Lots of family recipes work around family heirloom vegetables for canning and cooking.
For example, our local Native population, the Eastern Band of the Cherokee, have what is known as a Cherokee tomato.
It's a large, dark, juicy, squatty tomato with a very unique flavor. They are a specific type of tomato and are very delicious to eat. They are, however, not the same as your regular slicer, big boy, or store tomato.
I also like to find edible plants in the wild, roots, and acorns/seeds.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
It is funny how foods come in and out of style. When I was little my aunt had a pomegrante tree. None of my friend even knew what they were. Now ( 35 years later) pomegrante juice is becoming availible in the supermarkets.
Australia has an interesting history with food. Much of what we eat is what was brought out to Australia by settlers from the UK and Europe over 200 years ago. They did not know about 'bush tucker', native edible plants and so persisted in developing crops comparitable to those they were familar with. As different cultures immigrated to Australia they brought with them their own specialitise.
The names we call our fresh produce is often that from the orginating country ie zucchini, wombok, galangal.
I am interested in heirloom vegetables, not only for their variety in taste but also for the preservation of genetic diversity.
My mum sometimes makes quince jelly. We get the quinces from two old trees (over 100years old) that mark the spot where my great grandparents house stood.
Mulberries are another old fashioned fruit that I'm trying to grow. Once again I used to gather these from a tree that was over 100 years old.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
I love finding out about old fruit and veg that have been forgotten about. A few gardening companies in Australia sell heritage seeds and I love finding out about how many different varieties of things are out there - 200 varities of tomatoes, all different coloured carrot, etc.
I've never heard of Cardoon, though. I'll ask one of my favourite gardening companies about it and see if they've used it.
It sounds interesting, though, so hopefully they do have it.
I've just got all of my fruit trees planted so it's just about time to start on the veggies.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
I love cardoons and some of the most memorable dishes I've tasted have been when they've been slow-cooked - in Moroccan lamb tagines, Greek beef and cardoon stews and Provencal gratins. If you're in a European or North African market and lucky enough to find them, buy a bunch to cook immediatly, you won't be disappointed with their earthy, bitter taste.

Hi Jamie!
This is my first message since I registered and I am still trying to get the hang of how this works...
Mmmmmm..., on the matter of forgotten vegetable and fruits, there are a few here in Indonesia... but I forget what's the name of it, hahaha...!
Oh yes, when you come to Indonesia? Because here lots of food that you can try to make although maybe not all the spices suitable for you and you have lots of fans in here...!!!

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Hi Jamie, here in the north of Spain is very usual eat cardo. Just have to boil the clean pieces of cardo. And then, in a sauce pan with olive oil, fry some chopedd garlic and then put some flour (to prepare the garlic bechamel white sauce), some milk and stir. Then put over the sauce the pieces of cardo, and serve hot with fryed almond slices or pine kernels. You can put some paprika in the sauce if you like a little bit hot flavour.
I hope you try it...
have fun!!

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
My dad grew cardoon plants, given to him by my grandfather, under the illusion he was growing artichokes. As a result we ate them much as you would a globe artichoke with a hot butter vinagerette sauce.
We discovered that the stems are more commonly eaten but must be blanched during growing.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Cardoon grows in the wild in Cyprus and was cleaned, and the globe was eaten in a variety of ways
- raw, with lemon squeezed on the top and a sprinkle of salt
- fried with eggs
- in risotto
and in a meat stew. All delicious.
Lucky for me, it grows wild here in Australia too! My unclie owns a few acres and every year, we go and pick these beautiful 'flowers', clean them and freeze them. We then take them out of the freezer all year round and enjoy this cullinary delight!
Has anyone tried ochrus vetch (louvana)?
Drizzled with olive oil, vinegar and salt is a delicacy!

The failing primary school in "Won't Back Down" succeeds in teaching only seventy percent of its graduates to read. The American public education system seems to be in meltdown, producing high school graduates less literate and numerate than the grade school graduates of a few generations ago."Won't Back Down" blames this failure on teachers' unions and bureaucracy. It embraces a slowly growing movement in which parents vote to take control of their children's own schools, reward gifted teachers, and throw out overpaid, lazy and administrators held in place by seniority. It all sounds so simple--and it is, because the movie makes it simplistic.
In this scenario, based on the proverbial "true story" that isn't even cited in the film's end credits, a heroic working-class mom and a heroic gifted teacher join forces to collect signatures, stage protests and then force a public vote by the school board in which the good guys take over a Pittsburgh grade school. What happens afterward is not very informative; we get one shot of the corridor walls of the new school, papered with student artwork.
Maggie Gyllenhaal stars as Jamie Fitzpatrick, a single mom, auto-dealer secretary and night-shift bartender, whose dyslexic third grader Malia (Emily Alyn Lind) is trapped in the classroom of an entrenched teacher (Nancy Bach), who, by common agreement of her colleagues, is the faculty's most overpaid and badly performing member.
Jamie becomes determined to get Malia switched to the classroom of an inspired teacher, Nona Alberts (Viola Davis), but is blocked by the stonewall attitude of the school principal (Bill Nunn). During a heart to heart with Nona, who has been ground down by the system, Jamie asks, "Do you want to start a school with me?" Not without hesitation, Nona agrees.
This launches a formula effort in which the inspirational Jamie energizes an effective opposition, even though the Viola Davis character would seem better suited to that challenge. That's little surprise in a film where typecasting and color-coding makes it easy to predict which characters are good or bad.
The film adds two unnecessary subplots, one involving a romance between Jamie and the heartthrob teacher Michael (Oscar Isaac), and another about Nona's failing marriage with her husband (Lance Reddick), who texts her to say "This isn't working" and leaves for no apparent reason, other than to be an absent dad for their son (Dante Brown), and then to turn up to hug her at the end.
Rosie Perez is utterly misused as Breena, Nona's best pal at school, and Ving Rhames turns up as the principal of a charter school, who presides over a heartbreaking lottery. Both the lottery scene and the anti-union material seem to be fictionalized versions of material in the powerful documentary "Waiting for Superman," which covered similar material with infinitely greater depth.

What changed in new Nokia Asha Web Apps Runtime Proxy server release?
Please refer to Developer guidelines for new Nokia Asha web apps runtime proxy server release
How can I start using new features in use in my Web App?
If you desire to use new features in your web app, you must update Web App Version feature tag in config.xml. Feature tag defines the minimum runtime version Nokia Browser needs to support to run the Web Application.
<feature name="nokia://s40.nokia.com/SAWRT/3.0" required="true" />
Note that during the beta release of Nokia Asha web apps Version 3.0, support for media capture is only available on smartphones based on Nokia Asha software platform 1.0.
In addition a new version of Nokia Asha Web App tools is needed to support new features. You can download Nokia Asha Web App Tools here.
How can I make sure that my Web App works in different devices?
Nokia Asha software platform 1.0. based devices
Screen width matches Series 40 full touch devices (240px) ensuring compatibility of the web apps. Special care must be taken to implement support for hardware back key for Nokia Asha software platform 1.0. based devices. This is critical to offer best possible UX to end users. Font spacing is slightly different in Nokia Asha 501, thus avoid having tight fitting text inside fixed size elements.
Series 40 Full Touch Devices
Nokia Asha Web Apps are always presented in portrait mode in Full Touch devices. The screen width of full touch device matches the width commonly used in Series 40 devices (240 px). To make sure that your web app works in a full touch device, verify that UI layout is not hard coded on fixed height of 320 pixels. No other actions are needed.
How do Nokia Xpress browser / Nokia Asha web apps differ from conventional browser and web app execution environments
Nokia Xpress Browser is a distributed user agent. The browser client renders content compressed and formatted by the Nokia Xpress Proxy.
For developers this means that JavaScript is executed in the proxy rather than on the client.
This helps provide a rich web app experience in very affordable hardware that would have challenges running a full JavaScript stack.
Please read the Architecture and behavior overview document for more information.
Can I host my application code on my own server?
To some extent, yes. You can place JavaScript resources on your server and load them into your web app.
What is the biggest or recommended file size for Nokia Asha web apps?
There is a limit to the size of .wgt files that can be uploaded, it's currently set to 500kb.
Debugging and testing
How can I debug or log my application?
Web Apps Simulator (one of the Nokia Asha Web App Tools]) provides server side JavaScript logging with console.log() calls. Additionally, you can use the Simulator Web Inspector functionality to inspect e.g. the DOM tree or the consumed resources. Full Web Inspector functionality is available in the local preview state of the simulator, while n cloud preview mode, you can inspect the data transfer as it would happen between the proxy and client in real target devices.
Please see the simulator user guide for more information.
Nokia Asha Web Apps doesn't support logging or debugging in target hardware.
However, you can use a 3rd party logging solution such as log4javascript to flush logs to your own server script. Please refer to this example for implementing a logging solution.
What's the difference between local preview and cloud preview states in Web App Simulator?
How to launch a web app from command line
Please note that this is not an officially supported feature and may not be available in future releases. You can launch a Web App into the simulator from the command line using following syntax:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia Asha Web App Tools 3.0.0\Web App Simulator>WebSDKSimulator.exe -f [full path of config.xml] -url [short url as appearing in WDE console].
What is MWL (Mobile Web Library)?
MWL is a JavaScript library provided by Nokia for Nokia Asha web apps.
Direct MWL calls are the only JavaScript that will be executed on the client, thus you will find it useful to implement functionality such as view switching or timer triggered operations.
- the MWL is automatically injected to all web apps - you don't need to add it to your code.
- provides functions to modify the CSS properties of DOM elements, set locally executed timers, and break out of the web app context to remote URLs.
Get an MWL overview and full API documentation for Nokia Asha web apps in the MWL API reference.
Can I use jQuery or other popular libraries?
In many cases, yes.
However keep in mind that JavaScript is executed on the server side and remember the limitations with functionality, such as timers.
Can I use any off the shelf JavaScript?
Most off the shelf JavaScript will function, but keep in mind that any non-MWL call will be executed in the proxy and execution loops will cause a client-server roundtrip.
Some important omissions
- Use the MWL timer() function to work around this.
How to execute MWL calls locally on the client?
Rule of thumb: Tie MWL calls directly to DOM event handlers
- Calls wrapped in custom JavaScript functions will always step to the server side.
function showBox(){

Right way

Wrong way

You can chain MWL and other JavaScript calls to, for example, modify displayable elements locally before stepping to the server side:
You can generate DOM elements with MWL event handlers in JavaScript also - this can be useful when generating new page structures from downloaded content, when you don't want to deal with massive raw HTML string operations.
var myEl = document.createElement('img');
myEl.setAttribute('onclick', 'mwl.toggleClass(\'#progress_anim\', \'progress_visible\');API.run(' + i + ');');
Pay extra attention on quotation marks, when attaching MWL event handlers in JavaScript.
document.getElementById("btn").innerHTML = "
wrong
";
document.getElementById("btn2").innerHTML = "
right
";
Why is my code causing round trips to the server when JavaScript is executed?
See the answers above.
- JavaScript wrapped in non-MWL calls will always step to the server for execution.
- One good approach is to build a logic that downloads and generates fairly large DOM structures:
- The DOM structure should then be split to visible and hidden parts that can be toggled between with direct locally executed MWL calls.
- The RSS reader template in Nokia Web Tools is a good example of this approach.
Can I use alert() ?
alert() is not supported in Nokia Asha Web Apps. Use console.log() instead.
Can I use "javascript: ..." to invoke JavaScript functions from anchor tags?
How do I add a content refresh option to my web app?
If you wish to add an ad-hoc refresh capability to your web app, it should be done using . The more conventional options of window.location.reload(); or the syntax <a href="javascript:refreshPageContent();" should be avoided as they cause the web app context to be lost, which results in the web app no longer behaving as expected.
APIs and features
How do I use timers in Series 40 web apps?
Standard timers don't perform well when run on the proxy server rather than a phone. To overcome this issue, when timer features are need, use the MWL timer() and stopTimer() methods. Note that when using the timer() and stopTimer() methods that inline coding should be used: these methods will not trigger from a subroutine attached to the event. Typically this means your code should be similar to:
function callFunc() {
// Process event here...

For more information, see Nokia Asha Web Apps Developer's Guide and API Reference.
Does Nokia Browser for Series 40 / Series 40 web apps environment support HTML5
The current version of Series 40 web apps doesn't have support for HTML5 features.
What CSS3 features are supported?
Animated 2D transitions of width, height, and margin properties are supported with the -webkit -prefix. Use MWL calls such as addClass to run animations on the client side.
More information is available in the Series 40 web apps - Developer guide and API reference
Rounded corners, gradients, and other CSS3 visual effects are not supported in current version of Series 40 web apps.
What URI schemes are supported?
http, https, tel and sms.
Can I call, or send sms or email?
Initiating calls with tel URI scheme is supported.
SMS sending is supported from Nokia Asha Web Apps 1.5 onward.
For more information see SMS URI scheme in Series 40 web apps
Email creation is not supported.
How do I playback or stream video or audio?
Current version of web apps enables you to launch video and audio playback using the native player on the device.
However, the use case flow shows a screen prompting the user to start playback of the media file.
Find information on the supported formats and codecs from web app compatible device specs at Nokia Developer
Embedding video files is not possible in the first version of web apps.
Functionality on the simulator differs from real devices, therefore it's recommended highly that multimedia functionality is tested on a device.
Not in the current version of Series 40 web apps. You need to create your own menu with HTML. From version 2.3 onwards, fixed and scrollable region support enables you to make stationary menus.
Can I tie an event handler to the Nokia Browser for Series 40 Back-button?
Not in the current version of Series 40 web apps. You need to create a custom Back-button for navigation inside your app context.
How can I close my app from JavaScript code?
window.close() and the other options you might normally use aren't supported in the current release of Series 40 web apps.
Apps are run in Nokia Browser for Series 40 context and users can exit the browser as they normally do.
How can I detect resolution or other client side parameters?
The wiki article Coding Series 40 web apps for screen orientation describes how to detect and react to landscape and portrait screen formats.
Can I discover device features, such as whether my web app is running on a Touch and Type device?
You can discover the characteristics and feature of the device upon which a web app is running by looking at the http request headers sent by your web app and received by a remote web server.
We have set up simple php scripts to get text and JSON output of your user agent string:
The server side scripts for the above are fairly simple and can be freely copied if required: Apache server rewrites:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} /js.*
RewriteRule js.(.*) /index.php?output=$1 [L]
// Read a GET parameter to determine the output format, if none specified, nothing is output
if (isset($_GET['output']) && $_GET['output'] != '') {
$show_markup = $_GET['output'];
// Preparing an Array with the User-Agent string. Might add more parameters in the future
if (isset($headers['User-Agent'])) {
$api_values['User-Agent'] = $headers['User-Agent'];
switch ( $show_markup ) {
case 'json':
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($api_values);
case 'xml':
// not implemented
case 'text':
header('Content-type: text/plain');
echo $api_values['User-Agent'];
function handleResponse(content){
document.getElementById("ua").innerHTML = content;
function getLogMe(){
var xhr;
var myurl = "http://logme.mobi/js.text";
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", myurl, true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
if (xhr.status == 200) {
if (xhr.responseText != null) {
// Work with the response
// something is wrong
return '';
// something is wrong
return '';
//send the request
This would give you the real user agent string to play with, after which you can determine what device the browser is running on.
Can I store data locally on the client?
Local storage isn't supported in the first version of Series 40 web apps, however you can use widget.preferences to store data in cloud.
You can use the preferences attribute of W3C Widget Interface to store application instance specific persistent data in the Nokia Browser for Series 40 proxy. For details see: Using widget.preferences in Nokia Asha Web Apps
Do you provide an API to query user's location?
W3C Geolocation API getCurrentPosition() is supported in Nokia Asha Web Apps Version 1.5 onwards. Note that Version 1.0 of Series 40 web apps doesn't provide location APIs. Please note that anonymous functions cannot be passed to getCurrentPosition() as arguments.
function getPosition()
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess, geoFailure);
// geolocation API is not available, handle the case here
function geoSuccess(position){
* handle success here
* use: position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude
* position.coords.accuracy and position.timeStamp
function geoFailure(error){
* handle failure here
* use: error.code and error.message
A user agent IP lookup also returns the IP of the data centre of Nokia Browser for Series 40 Proxy through which the network traffic is routed.
Do you support device APIs?
Device APIs, other than W3C Geolocation API, aren't supported in the current version of Series 40 web apps.
Do you support Flash?
There is no Flash support in Series 40 web apps / Nokia Browser for Series 40.
Can Series 40 web apps integrate to device home screen?
Home screen integration isn't supported in the first version of Series 40 web apps.
Can I use a map API in Series 40 web apps?
Yes. Any map service that outputs static images (png, gif, jpeg) should do.
Map Image API provides an easy to use REST interface for accessing, for example, map tiles.
Can I use an advertising API in Series 40 web apps
Preferred advertising solution to be used with Web Apps is Nokia Ad Exchange.
Nokia Web Tools 2.3 comes with sample application and NAX library for Web Apps.
I need to integrate to Facebook and Twitter from my web app, how do I do it?
Current Series 40 web apps development offering doesn't contain frameworks for integrating to popular social networks. Thus, you need to implement integration points yourself or use third-party frameworks.
Do you have a recommended UI library?
The current version of Series 40 web apps doesn't include a full UI library.
- Nokia Developer Codeexamples and Nokia WebTools project templates and code snippets contain some HTML and CSSdefinitions to help build UI controls and layouts.
- Web Templates provide HTML and CSS styles that can be used in NokiaBrowser for Series 40 and Series 40 web apps.
How can I customize the favicon that is displayed for my web app within Nokia Browser for Series 40 favourites?
To customize the favicon for your app, simply add the following line within index.html:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png">
The favicon image file should be 16x16 PNG format with a transparent background.
How do I port my existing web site?
Although Nokia Browser for Series 40 can render most web content well, it's recommended to optimise the content and layout sent to Nokia Browser for Series 40 clients, to do this for your website:
- Familiarise yourself with this FAQ, the overview guide, and the practices guides to understand the limitations in features such asJavaScript execution, CSS support, and event handling.
- Keep in mind that Nokia Browser for Series 40 clients run in affordable mobile phones with QVGA screens in landscape or portrait resolution.
- Detect Nokia Browser for Series 40 clients by looking for matches within the example UA string.
How do I port my existing Symbian WRT widget or other packaged web app?
Some things to check and remember:
- Series 40 web apps use W3C widget packaging format, which is different from Symbian WRT.
- As with porting between any other environments, API and feature differences exist. For example, Series 40 web apps don't currently support any device APIs.
- JavaScript (except direct MWL calls) execute on the server, thus many apps with heavy client side logic, DOM manipulation, etc. would benefit from redesign ofthe code to optimise the need for server round trips.
In many cases, it's worthwhile considering redesigning your application rather than attempting to port.
How do I find out the version of Nokia Browser running on my device
Select Tools -> About in Nokia Browser Options menu
What is the user agent string for the Nokia Browser for Series 40 / Series 40 web apps clients
Example user agent strings:
- Nokia Browser for Series 40 Version 1.0
- Mozilla/5.0 (Series40; NokiaX3-02/05.65; Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) Gecko/20100401 S40NokiaBrowser/184.108.40.206.17.
