I never really noticed it before but when I change the image of an imageview using setImageBitmap, using a bitmap which is decoded from resources using BitmapFactory, then the quality of image deteriorates and I don't know why.
I even played around with BitmapFactoryOptions like
options.inDither, but the results were pretty much the same; a poor quality image.
On the other if I just use setImageResource, the image doesn't deteriorates and is in best quality possible.
So basically these two codes
Bitmap b=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.keypad,options); iv.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.keypad))
results in different image quality.
Can anybody explain why? And how to solve this quality issue using code 1.

A recent survey by Gartner found that only 5% of companies in Europe plan to decrease their CRM this year, down from 9% in 2012.
The survey revealed that 48% of businesses plan to increase their CRM budgets as companies increasingly focus on their customer relationships in the shaky economic environment.
"The upward trend we are witnessing confirms organizations' commitment to improving the management of their customer relationships, despite the volatile economic environment across Europe," said Jim Davies, research director at Gartner.
Gartner estimates that CRM software revenue in Europe will reach $3bn in 2013, an increase of 7% from last year.
"In 2013, investments in CRM will continue to focus on technologies that help drive loyalty, satisfaction and revenue growth. As a result, investment in technologies that drive sales and marketing performance, such as lead management software and digital marketing, will be complemented by technologies that can help deliver, and understand, a consistent cross-channel customer experience," said Davies.
The report revealed that customer data and information was a factor for businesses continuing to invest in CRM. Gartner says that a comprehensive understanding of customers has increased in importance while becoming the biggest challenge.
The research firm also reveals that having a "single view of the customer" was ranked one of the top CRM objectives in 2013.
"Obtaining this single view is, however, complex and requires a master data management strategy that encompasses an increasingly diverse set of data formats and sources, including feedback from customers themselves," added Davies.

Totara Park - August Away Walk
12 brave soul's turned out for John & Rose's away walk for August and enjoyed the wild & woolly sundays weather - we were lucky to have a break in the weather with just the odd droplet of rain here and there! We even got to see some kick boxers practicing in the park.
What a beautiful park to have in the inner city, fabulous walk 5.5km loop track well worth the effort coming out on such a shitty day!!
Then we all went back to Rose's house for a BBQ Cafe Styled Breakkie - Ciabatta with avocado, tomato, free range eggs, bacon or salmon what ever combo you choose to have was absolutely yumbo!! all in all a great away walk big thank you to all who came, cheers Rose & John.

Melville's Cascade Away Walk 27-07-14
A stunning drive down through the golf course leads to the bush-clad cascades, the start of our walk. The light rain falling upon arrival cleared for most of the walk, which included the Auckland walk, a short side trip to the falls and a return walk along Upper Kauri Track, past the lookout to the junction of tracks just past the high point of the walk. Morning tea and a photo in the picture frame concluded an enjoyable morning. Click here for more photos of our morning.
Mid Xmas Dinner - Alexandra Park 2014
Mid Xmas Dinner At Alexandra Park was a fun evening enjoyed by all. The Smorgesbord dinner was a delight to tantalise the tastebuds with a selection of food to satisfy all tastes. We were welcomed with a glass of wine or fruit juice and a betting voucher to start the ball rolling. Some of us had a winning streak but whether you won or lost it was an evening of fun and frevolity. An event done well and one I wouldn't hesitate to enjoy again. Click here for photos of the eveing.

Cornwall Park Away Walk - 25-05-14
Denise & Lynn's Away Walk & BBQ at Cornwall Park.
What a great morning and a good crowd we had despite the weather. John was a dab hand on our BBQ and kindly stayed back to get things rolling while the rest of us trundled up the hill for our circuit round the volcanic cone and surrounding Park. The keen ones that didn't mind the muddy track took to the top - not naming any names but one of us made hard work of it sliding down a bank changing the club colours to brown, fortunately embarassment was saved from it being caught on camera as it was the photographer. The rest circled the base and all headed back for a hot sausage or two. See Photos
Te Waihou Springs Away Weekend 17-05-14
Thirteen Clubbies took part in the Club's Away Weekend down in the Waikato to do the Te Waihou Blue Springs Walk. We had fabulous weather to experience an amazing part of the country. The Te Waihou Springs water is so pristine, it takes 50 to 100 years to filter through underground from the Mamaku Ranges Plateau. The water is bottled and also supplies the nearby town of Putataru with it's water. The walk is an easy undulating 3 hour return. We went on to stay the night at the extremely well run "Out in the Styx Guesthouse", www.styx.co.nz a half hour journey away on the slopes of Maungatautari Mountain. A small group of us did the Night Tour on Santuary Mountain Wildlife Reserve, a must in my book for a chance to take in all it has to offer. See their website for details www.maungatrust.org Some of us stopped off at the Rhubarb Cafe' on our return trip, great food with the Waikato River Cycle Trail right on it's doorstep. Click here for photos of our Weekend.
Fairy Falls Away Walk - 27/03/14
Gillian and Sam's Away Walk at Fairy Falls at the end of March was another great outing enjoyed by the team, seen here at the base of the Falls. A magic spot for a walk in our Waitakere Ranges.
Xmas Picnic - Cornwallis 8th Dec.2013
Our Xmas Get-together this year was a picnic held at Cornwallis. A good time was had by all. The weather which was a bit of a mixed bag, didn't dampen the spirits and we had the usual fun with the Secret Santa gifts doing the rounds before ending up in the hands of their final owner. The walk prior to our party took in the Jubilee Walk opened in May 1990 to commenorate the 50th Anniversary of the Park. Gillian once again did us proud with this very innovative cake sporting the new logo. Visit our photo page to see photos of the event.

I'm 14 and I got 18.
I'm 14 and I got 18.
OMG I don't even no if I have a butt or not, but like everyone at my school seems to say I don't, but I am always stressing about it because if I don't have a big butt, I'll be really happy about that. I wish I could just stay straight up and down forever but alas, I have stupid things growing on my chest and everyday I wish I could just erase them… I never understood why people wanted butts or the other thingys on your chest. EWW
The book was amazing, but so far, I don't think I'll be watching the movie. Like I've already envisioned the characters the way I felt like they should be from how they were described in the book, and honestly I don't want to take the risk of seeing them any other way because usually movies made after books don't tend to have the same effect on me as the book did and plus it almost kind of just ruins the whole book.
I'm shy and I absolutely hate anything in class where I have to talk to anyone besides my friends. In fourth grade once, my math teacher made me come to solve a problem on the board. I knew how to do it, but after I wrote the problem down, it was like I literally could not move. Everyone was watching me I swear. That was the worst. I just stood there kind of shaking until my teacher told me I could go sit down. It was horrible.

Crazy Amount Of Static Electricity Next To Google Offices 2 days ago
Sunday Science! What do they got going on in there to cause this?
Science is for nerds and rejects. This school yard mantra has been proven wrong again and again throughout history. From genius inventors, to mathematical prodigies who redefine the way humans see the world, science and scientists have changed the face of the earth. Break's science category features the craziest experiments ever caught on video. From home tests on beer bottles, to high school lab accidents these videos will inspire and terrify. For climate change statistics, you're going to have to go somewhere else. Only mad scientists and terrible science fails here.

Game of Thrones guy is right. Gotta be stubborn.
Modern twist!
Nice shootin', Tex.
Boom goes the little stove.
Here's a picture of it landing on a Kardashian butt so you care about this ...
That seems pretty cool.
That's one heck of a fireball.
Hey, they actually asked a scientist.
Sunday Science: It's not a liquid and not a solid and it looks really cool ...
Jesus, that was awful.
Looks like creepy hairgel.
Hopefully, the next video has some cool footage of the real comet.
Unfortunately, the job sounds like a complete nightmare.
Stunning image of sunlight reflecting off of Saturn's moon Titan.

I can't say I'm 100% surprised to read your post, Joe, or the rpssonee. But wow. Any organization out there advocating on behalf of patients should understand (and highlight!) the fundamental importance of diet/nutrition. Many of us understand the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, but not everyone does. Sugar is not going to cause an autoimmune disorder in the way that it might cause Type 2 Diabetes, but my own experience living with autoimmune issues has shown me that sugar is not a great thing for me. And yet that's not even the crux of the issue!I'm not a cause marketing expert by any means, but in my mind, the ultimate goal of any cause marketing relationship is to form a real partnership which creates buzz and awareness alongside some fundraising dollars. In my mind, the money is secondary to the relationship. Why on earth would any patient organization want to be linked to KFC especially days after the new food pyramid was released?!My public health-minded brain just can't comprehend why patient education and advocacy organizations would partner with fast food chains. It just doesn't add up Maybe there's something going on in Louisville. Tricon/Yum! with diabetes. And Brown-Forman with their Pink Your Drink nonsense to promote Chambord. (Another great idea to promote something that we know does nothing to improve health or help women's bodies fight off breast cancer!) Now all they need to do is bring Brown & Williamson back Maybe they'd like to take on Smokey the Bear?!

Jeannie gets involved with the law when, invisible to everyone, she attempts to drive Tony's car. Angered, Tony orders her to leave. Jeannie is aware that Tony has been studying the desalinization of seawater. Playing for time, she tells Tony her great grandfather solved the problem. Tony asks to meet her great grandfather and Jeannie goes to get him. Tony phones Leslie Staples at the Department of Agriculture and tells him he is on the verge of converting salt water to fresh. Jeannie returns with her great grandfather, Bilejik, who proves that he can produce fresh water from salt water. Tony returns to find Bilejik, Jeannie and a policeman is front of his house. Bilejik has been causing all sorts of trouble with the neighbors. While resolving the matter, Tony discovers that Bilejik has used seeds as a filter. After Bilejik leaves, Tony jubilantly reports to Staples. Staples tells him that these seeds are from a plant extinct for almost two thousand years.

NIH Director Francis Collins is looking for someone to lead NIH-wide strategic initiatives. (NIH photo)
Another agency is joining in the recent hiring spree of chief data officers and is looking to name its first associate director for data science.
In a Jan. 10 statement, National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins announced plans to fill the new senior position. The data officer will lead NIH-wide strategic initiatives that intend to make the most of the increasing amount of biomedical research data.
"There is an urgent need and increased opportunities for advanced collaboration and coordination of access to, and analysis of, the rapidly expanding collections of biomedical data," Collins said. "NIH aims to play a catalytic lead role in addressing these complex issues -- not only internally, but also with stakeholders in the research community, other government agencies, and private organizations involved in scientific data generation, management, and analysis."
Until the new slot can be filled, Eric Green will be serving as acting associate director for data science. He currently is director for the National Human Genome Research Institute and has worked to map, sequence and understand eukaryotic genomes. Green will continue to serve as NHGRI director while taking on the acting leadership position.

After one of the worst maritime disasters in recent history, the Italian cruise ship the Costa Concordia has not been pulled aright after an $800 million salvage effort. The Concordia capsized off the Italian coast 20 months ago, taking 32 lives. After a 19-hour operation, the ship is finally back in an upright position.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Fifty-six giant pulleys heaved the half-submerged vessel aright. The operation revealed a section of the hull darkened by rust and algae during months underwater.
"The rotation has finished its course, we are at zero degrees, the ship is resting on the platforms," Italy's civil protection chief, Franco Gabrielli said. The announcement was made in the wee hours of the morning at a news conference on Giglio island, which was met by applause and cheers.
"It could not have gone better than this," Franco Porcellacchia, an engineer working on the salvage for ship owner Costa Cruises said. "It was a perfect operation."
The ship remained impaled on two underwater granite outcrops since January 2012. At that time, Captain Francesco Schettino, ran it aground in an attempt to "sail past" maneuver close to Giglio. Schettino is standing trial on charges of manslaughter and abandoning his ship.
About 4,200 passengers and crew were forced to jump into lifeboats or plunge into water after the ship ran aground. Thirty-two people drowned, some of them sucked under by whirlpools created as the ship tilted.
At 950 feet long, the 114,000-ton Costa Concordia is believed to be the biggest ship to be hoisted back upright after capsizing.
During months of careful preparation by U.S. company Titan Salvage and its Italian partner, Micoperi, more than 1,000 bags of cement were placed underwater. Six underwater platforms were then built for the cruise ship to be righted onto, in a technique known as "parbuckling."
"It was like being in ancient Egypt, watching the construction of the pyramids," Giglio Mayor Sergio Ortelli said.
Parbuckling is a technique that has been used in the past, in particular on such World War II warships such as the the battleship Oklahoma, which was righted by the U.S. military in 1943 after it was bombed during the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
After three hours of hauling during which the pulleys exerted 6,000 tons of pressure, the ship was wrenched free from the two granite outcrops, which had penetrated 18 feet into the hull.
The ship was then slowly turned throughout the afternoon until 11 metal boxes, some as tall as 11-story buildings, were welded to the exposed side of the ship touched the water.
Salvage workers based in a control center on a barge off the bow of the ship switched off the pulleys and opened valves in the boxes to allow water in at 1,000 cubic feet a minute.
As the cruise ship rose out of the water, two large indentations could be seen on the side of the ship where it had been pinned to the rocky outcrops.

If Jimmy Needham didn't play Christian music, more people probably would have heard of the Katy native by now. Needham's blue-eyed soul is similar to that of singer-songwriters Bob Schneider or Jason Mraz, and he even covers Marvin Gaye's "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" on his new disc Nightlights. Needham, whose dad financed his 2005 debut, was picked up by Nashville-based Christian label Inpop records after executives liked what they heard on MySpace. Needham is no stranger to secular pop or hip-hop — in his bio, he shouts out Maroon 5, Michael Jackson and Jay-Z as the musical inspirations behind "Grace Amazing," while Nightlights single "Yours to Take" has already made him a rising star in Christian circles. It's not hard to imagine hearing either song on KRBE or Mix 96.5, actually, so Needham's attempts to reach the "unchurched" might be about to pay off.

Shortly after the release of Phantasy Star Portable on the Playstation Portable, Sega decided to not leave Nintendo DS owners out in the cold. Thus came Phantasy Star Zero (written as � in North America), the second game of the Phantasy Star franchise on a Nintendo handheld console. (After the Compilation Re-release of I, II and III on the GBA, of course.)Released in late 2008 in Japan and late 2009/early 2010 for North America and Europe, Phantasy Star Zero brings back much of Phantasy Star Online's game mechanics and style (it is, after all, abbreviated PS0), with some minor improvements. Like both Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Universe, it is a Massively Multiplayer Online Action RPG (on the DS!), but has a monthly cost of $0 (YES!).The story begins on a nameless planet two hundred years after a mysterious calamity known as the Great Blank, which destroyed most historical records. The modern world is now a Cattle Punk Scavenger World where the last fragments of humanity do their best to live on.However, this peaceful life is about to change: the Ridiculously Human Robots known as CASTs have begun to awaken from the slumber imposed upon them by the Great Blank, and an enigmatic group of Human Aliens called Newmans are descending to Earth for unknown reasons. The presence of these three races begins to move the gears that have been frozen for the past two centuries, and will reveal not only the cause of the Great Blank but determine the future of the universe.See Phantasy Star for the original tetralogy, and Phantasy Star Online or Phantasy Star Universe for the other games of the series.

DEFINITION of 'Horizontal Integration'
The acquisition of additional business activities that are at the same level of the value chain in similar or different industries. This can be achieved by internal or external expansion. Because the different firms are involved in the same stage of production, horizontal integration allows them to share resources at that level. If the products offered by the companies are the same or similar, it is a merger of competitors. If all of the producers of a particular good or service in a given market were to merge, it would result in the creation of a monopoly. Also called lateral integration.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Horizontal Integration'
Examples of horizontal integration include an oil company's acquisition of additional oil refineries, or an automobile manufacturer's acquisition of a light truck manufacturer. Horizontal integration offers several advantages, including favorable economies of scale, economies or scope, increased market power and reduction in the costs associated with international trade by operating in foreign markets. Horizontal integration is in contrast to vertical integration, where firms expand into different activities, known as upstream or downstream activities.

National team competitions
22-16, 17-24, 20-15, 24-22
Sweden held on for an 83-77 win at home over Slovakia on Wednesday to finish in third place in Group F of the EuroBasket 2015 2nd Qualifying Round.
The Swedes concluded their campaign on a 2-4 record while the Slovaks finished bottom of the group with six losses in as many games and consequently both teams knew ahead of their Day 6 clash that they would not compete in next summer's big event.
Sweden wanted to bow out with a win in front of their home crowd and jumped in the driving seat early on, but a Nenad Milosevic lay-up right at the half-time buzzer gave the guests their first lead, 40-39.
Conscious that a defeat by four points or more would see them finish in fourth place in the group, Sweden returned with renewed determination after the break.
Thomas Massamba, with two free throws 5:08 from the end of the third quarter capped off a 12-2 burst for the hosts to give them a 51-42 lead.
Slovakia however were not going to simply go away and kept breathing down the neck of their hosts, until finally a Milan Ziak lay-up on the fast break tied the scores at 73 with 2:46 left on the clock.
Both sides wasted chances to claim the lead until Joakim Kjellbom, with a hook-shot 1:02 from the final buzzer brought the Swedes ahead, 75-73, and sparked a 6-0 run that effectively sealed the result.
Massamba led the hosts with 21 points, Anton Gaddefors added 18 points and six rebounds and Kjellbom chipped in with 13 points and nine boards.
For the Slovak side, Peter Sedmák collected 20 points and Ziak finished with 13 points and six rebounds.
Vedran Bosnic, Sweden Head Coach"Slovakia showed us in Slovakia that they never give up, that they play hard and give everything they have. We respect Slovakia and today again they showed they're worthy of that respect. They fought hard and I promise that everyone on our team, in the coaching staff were wondering what crazy thing would happen in the last minute. Every game we have played has been so close. What would happen now? I'm very happy that we could stay focused and win the game."
Thomas Massamba, Sweden"Slovakia fought hard all the way, they pushed us the whole game. But I'm proud that we managed to pull out a win. We kept our turn-overs down; we fought all the way, everyone on the team. We had some great fans that came to support us and it feels really good that we could get a win. This has been a crazy summer and even though we didn't qualify to EuroBasket 2015 we showed that Sweden has a future with all the young players coming up."
Richard Kucsa, Slovakia Assistant Coach"We played excellent in the first half, but Sweden came out very aggressive in the third quarter and we couldn't really do what we wanted to do. We fought hard, but we couldn't stop Sweden enough. Their point guard Thomas Massamba played very well and shot the ball so well. Congratulations to Sweden."
Marek Kozlik, Sweden"When Sweden played very aggressively in the third quarter we got on our heels a bit, but we got back and got the game even, but I agree with the coach, Thomas Massamba played so well. He made it very difficult for us to guard Sweden. We were close but in the end they made shots when they needed to. Congratulations to Sweden."
Anton Gaddefors
Peter Sedmák
