In my previous article, I had introduced how DevOps can play a role in JVM troubleshooting. In this series, I would like to share a case study that we encountered in our organization and how we isolated the issue before engaging the right team to fix it.
One of our customers upgraded to the latest application release from previous release and noticed a significant performance degradation in the throughput. As a first step, we confirmed the customer claim by reproducing the reported issue in our environment. Having a local reproduction environment opened up opportunities to try out multiple things in narrowing down the issue. After a preliminary analysis, we had concluded the area or component that is contributing to the observed behavior. A workaround to overcome the issue was identified and the same was employing a command-line parameter, which will take a different execution path. The provided recommendation was tested in our local reproduction environment with success and this gave us the confidence that the issue can be overcome with the current recommendation.
On further analysis, we engaged the appropriate tool to determine the percentage of time consumed and captured the snapshots with the latest release and the previous release where issue was not noticed. This level of analysis revealed the exact area where more time was spent. Once these snapshots were shared with the development team, the development team task was much easier as the area of code was already narrowed down for fixing. This way we isolated the issue and helped customer to overcome the problem.
The use-case scenario was that of retrieving data from the CACHE using CouchBase as Caching Solution. However, there were multiple other components present in the stack.
Tool Used: VisualVM
The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Search URJ.org and the other Reform websites:
What is the Reform position on officiating at the wedding of a Jew to a non-Jew? My fiancée is not Jewish, and doesn't want to convert or give up his religion. We want a Jewish wedding, and plan to raise our children as Jews.
One of the most important steps in planning a Jewish wedding is finding a rabbi or cantor to officiate at the ceremony. When it comes to officiation at weddings between Jews and non-Jews, you will find a variety of opinions and practices. Reform Rabbis belong to the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR). The CCAR discourages its members from officiating at interfaith weddings. Many rabbis understand their ordination as authorizing them to officiate only at Jewish weddings where both members of the couple are Jewish. While the CCAR discourages it members from officiating at interfaith weddings, it does not prevent them from doing so. Ultimately, rabbis are given autonomy in such matters and each rabbi interprets Jewish tradition according to his or her own understanding. Some Reform Rabbis reach the decision, after much study that a greater good is served by officiating at interfaith weddings. Most rabbis do so with certain standards. Often they require that the couple or non-Jewish partner take an Introduction to Judaism class and commit to creating a Jewish home and raising Jewish children.

Bill Snyder has Kansas State winning on scoreboard, not stats
It is appropriate that the nation's wackiest numbers, on a regular basis, are posted in the Big 12 during college football season.
Not only does the 10-member league have a numerically incorrect name, it is home to several of the NCAA's elite offensive playmakers. No. 6 Oklahoma State leaned on some of them Saturday to become the first school in 100 years to defeat Texas in Austin in consecutive seasons (Oklahoma last turned the trick in 1910 and 1911).
But that isn't the craziest number of the week in the Big 12. Neither is Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles' 326 career catches, an NCAA record, or the fact that No. 17 Texas A&M produced 681 yards and needed zero punts in a 55-28 victory over Baylor.
Instead, check out these stunning numbers: An undefeated Big 12 team climbed Sunday to No. 12 in The Associated Press poll despite giving up more yards each week (345.7 avg.) than it gains (336.2 avg.).
Among the nation's 120 FBS schools, Kansas State ranks 58th in scoring offense (29.3 avg.) and among the bottom 25 percent of teams in total offense (94th), passing offense (114th) and passing defense (93rd).
Yet the 12th-ranked Wildcats (6-0, 3-0 in Big 12) have translated those pedestrian statistics into a share of the conference lead at the midpoint of the season.
K-State needs only to beat Kansas (2-4, 0-3) in Saturday's cross-state matchup to reach 7-0 for the first time since 1999 and set up a high-stakes showdown against No. 3 Oklahoma (6-0, 3-0) on Oct. 29 in Manhattan, Kan.
Why is K-State, a team picked to finish eighth in the preseason media poll, emerging as a surprise contender in a league where every other school besides OU, OSU (6-0, 3-0) and A&M (4-2, 2-1) already has at least two losses in conference play?
Two words: Bill Snyder. And two more: Turnover margin.
Mix in the impact of linebacker Arthur Brown, a transfer from Miami who is a Big 12 Newcomer of the Year candidate, and that pretty well covers it.
Snyder, the Wildcats' 72-year-old coach, has ranked among college football's elite sideline strategists for more than two decades. Dubbed as college football's "coach of the century" by Barry Switzer for his efforts in making K-State football relevant in the 1990s, Snyder remains the only coach in the Big 12 who clearly is worth points to his team on game day.
That's no shot at Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, Texas' Mack Brown or anyone else. It's simply an acknowledgement that no coach in college football squeezes more production from his available talent than Snyder.
Five of K-State's six victories have come by seven points or less, including all three wins in Big 12 play. The closer the game, the more likely Snyder's team is to prevail.
It is no accident that K-State ranks 11th nationally in turnover margin, at plus-6 for the season. Among Big 12 teams, only OSU (plus-12) ranks higher.
The season's biggest turnover belongs to Brown, whose interception set up the game-winning field goal in a 36-35 victory over Baylor on Oct. 1. Brown, who leads the team in tackles (45) and tackles for losses (4.5), added seven stops in Saturday's 41-34 victory over Texas Tech.
In that one, the Wildcats used a 4-0 edge in turnovers to offset a 580-339 shortfall in total yards. K-State also scored touchdowns on an interception return (Nigel Malone, 24 yards) and a kickoff return (Tyler Lockett, 100 yards) while grabbing its first win in Lubbock since 1997.
Snyder said he has "great appreciation" for his team's resiliency and perseverance in reaching a 6-0 record despite a limited offense and an unheralded roster. K-State erased a 28-20 halftime deficit to beat Tech.
"It's not the first time they have come back," Snyder said. "But to do it time and time again is an extremely positive thing. I appreciate their effort, I appreciate their toughness. I think that's their mantra, so to speak, the mental toughness it takes to play these games throughout... and not get ahead of ourselves."
K-State linebacker Tre Walker said players kept reminding themselves they were "down but not out" during halftime in Lubbock despite being outgained in total yards 387-92 in the first 30 minutes.
"Nobody was pouting or putting their head down or giving up," Walker said. "We're a tough football team. We're going to fight to the end, no matter what. We don't even look at the scoreboard."
For six consecutive games, the scoreboard numbers have favored K-State. Even if the statistical numbers frequently have suggested otherwise.

There was hardly a word said as to last fall's 2-8 campaign before, during or after Camden's spring football practice for the 2013 season.

The Camden High School Athletic Banquet will be held on Tuesday, May 21, in the school gymnasium.
A short night, a short morning at school and a trip to Greenville for AAA District 3 elimination game made up a whirlwind Wednesday for the Camden High baseball team.
As if to prove that Tuesday's no-hitter which she threw against Travelers Rest was not a fluke, Walhalla's Taylor Crawford threw another one against Camden, one day later.
Monday - 2 p.m. --- Tonight's Camden High scheduled Upper State District 3 AAA girls softball winners' bracket game at Chapman has been postponed due to wet grounds and the threat of more rrain.
Monday - 11 a.m. --- Due to wet grounds and the potential for more rain throughout the rest of Monday, tonight's AAA Upper State District 2 playoff game between Camden and host Chester has been pushed back to tuesday at 7 p.m. at Chester High School.
As his team's season winds down, Camden High tennis coach Roger Smoak saw a Bulldog team which was not at its best still manage to come away with a 6-0 win over Darlington on Wednesday.
For the first time in nine years, Camden will sit out the AAA state boys' tennis playoffs.
While the Lugoff-Elgin and North Central baseball and softball teams opened 4A and 2A state baseball and softball, respectively, post season play last night with second round action set for Saturday afternoon, Camden will kick off the post-season tonight.

Less than enthralled with Tyler Jordan's first at-bat in Tuesday night's game with visiting Richland Northeast, Camden head baseball coach Denny Beckley had no complaints following his second baseman's second trip to the plate. And after the third, the Bulldog boss was ecstatic.
Receiving a total of 18 personal-best performances, the Camden High boys and girls' track teams ran to sixth and seventh place finishes, respectively, in Saturday's 15-team Silver Fox Invitational at Dutch Fork High School.
Despite peppering the Dreher goal, the Camden boys' soccer team could not find the back of the Blue Devil nets with any of their shots as the visiting Blue Devils downed Camden, 4-0, last Friday night at Zemp Stadium.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Speiriscope: Zoo escapees
What would you do if you ran into a hippopotamus?
Would you thrash him from top to bottomus?
That's a question staff at the Calgary Zoo had to ponder when one of their two hippos escaped its holding area during the recent flooding.
When the water level rose high enough, an adventurous young male named Lobi swam over the top of his holding area and went for a little paddle around the African Savannah building.
Observed Jake Veasey, the zoo's director of animal care: "There was the potential for the hippos to swim out of this building into a flooded zoo and potentially into the Bow River and we could have had hippos God knows where."
The female hippo, Sparky, stayed put, but Lobi explored the flooded building and squeezed through a narrow door into a corridor, becoming stuck and angry.
That's when Veasey and his clever zoo team built a ramp out of sandbags, allowing the unhappy hippo to climb over a bar and back into his enclosure, his hard hippo hide squeaking against the metal all the way.
The thing is, Lobi's adventure is just the tip of a gigantic iceberg, which, if flipped over, would expose a jungle of escaped zoo animals, including our Top 5:
5) The culprit: Cyril the Sea Lion.
The escape: In the dark of night on June 18, 1958, Cyril slipped out of his pool at Storybook Gardens Zoo in London, Ont., and into the nearby Thames River. He then swam from the Thames to Lake St. Clair, down the Detroit River and into Lake Erie, and was eventually found lolling around a boathouse in Sandusky, Ohio. His trip covered about 643 kilometres before he was nabbed by a team led by Toledo Zoo director Phil Skeldon. According to a story in the Toledo Blade: "There was some controversy -- and international publicity -- over whether Cyril would be sent home and, for a while, there was a strain in the historically peaceful relations between the U.S. and Canada. But an agreement finally was arranged and Mr. Skeldon led a procession back into London, where the sea lion was greeted by a crowd of some 23,000 people."
4) The culprit: Virginia the Wolf.
The escape: Virginia was a repeat offender who apparently did not understand one basic fact -- wolves don't climb trees. According to news reports, this clever timber wolf broke out of the Los Angeles Zoo multiple times in 1979 by scaling trees, climbing fences and walking along branches to freedom. "At one point, she eluded veterinarians and zoo officials for a month," a TIME.com story states. "They spotted Virginia occasionally and tried to subdue her with tranquillizer guns, to no avail." It's not known where Virginia ended up, but we assume she signed a book deal.
3) The culprits: Evelyn and Jim the gorillas.
The escape(s): The late 1990 and early 2000s were a rough time for the Los Angeles Zoo as at least 35 inmates broke out during a five-year stretch, including an infamous gorilla named Evelyn. Says TIME.com: "Over the years, Evelyn escaped her enclosure some four or five times. Once, she jumped onto another gorilla's back to hop over the wall." Her primate in crime was named Jim and ABC news has said the duo escaped so many times the zoo received a warning from federal officials. Kept in an enclosure designed for bears, "the gorillas would use vines to climb out, even one time bounding the wall with a running jump," a CNN report recalls.
2) The culprit: Capone the rhesus monkey and his gang.
The escape: Call it The Case of the Monkeys that Overran Long Island. According to the New York Times, when an employee of Frank Buck's Jungle Camp Animal Park near Amityville accidentally left a plank across an exhibit moat in 1935, Capone led 172 of his rhesus monkey cohorts to freedom. What happened next? They went bananas. Police were besieged by calls reporting monkeys crawling around houses in a nearby town. The naughty monkeys even chased away a railroad gang and stopped a locomotive for about five minutes. In the end, the park offered free passes in exchange for returned monkeys.
1) The Culprit: Ken Allen the orangutan.
The escape(s): Dubbed the "Hairy Houdini" of the San Diego Zoo, Ken Allen is arguably the greatest animal escape artist of all time. Born at the zoo in 1971, the Bornean orangutan became legendary for a series of escapes in the 1980s. He reportedly once taught another orangutan how to use a branch like a crowbar to bust out. The zoo's website declared: "He never seemed to mind being led back into his enclosure -- he just seemed to enjoy the challenge of finding a new way out!" After his death in 2000, a newspaper obit gushed: "Beloved ape, 29, was renowned escape artist."
The point is, you should always keep your eyes open, because you never know who you're going to run into.
Q: If you happen to see an alligator?
A: Run like heck and say: "See you later!"

ARRGH! Animal damage to trunk of brand new J. Maple.
denninmi(8a)July 29, 2012
I decided to try a couple. I found a pretty nice Boskoop Glory for $20 on sale half off.
Trunk is about the diameter of a broom handle. I brought it home, put it behind my greenhouse, it blew over in a storm, and when I went to pick it up, something had gnawed a quarter sized hole in the bark about 3 inches up from the graft union, as well as 3 or 4 smaller individual gnaw marks.
Couldn't they at least wait until it's in the ground to destroy it?

Having proper handling facilities, understanding animal behavior and following safe handling techniques can make the chore of moving cattle less stressful for the animal and producer.
When moving cattle, the position and movement of the handler is important.
Cattle have a flight zone – the area around them that they do not like for people to enter.
The size of this zone varies from animal to animal. The animal will move away when a person enters this zone and that trait can be used to move them where you want them to go.
In an effort to support local food production, the Environmental Finance Center at the University of Louisville has launched Kentucky Food Trader (www.kyfoodtrader.org), a virtual farmers' market that connects both buyers and sellers with local food as soon as it is harvested.

Stumbling," says Van Zante, spokesman for the Helen Woodward Animal Center, a nonprofit pet adoption organization in San Diego. "When I took the leash, she just stood there to catch her breath." Finally, Van Zante says, the woman told...

Mistake 1: Not Getting Preventive Care
The most common health mistake owners make is not getting their cat preventive care, say the pros. Oregon veterinarian Marla J. McGeorge, DVM, says preventive care is vital to catching health problems in their early stages.
Although regular vaccinations are an important part of preventive care for cats, they're not the whole picture. A comprehensive annual exam goes much further and can include:
- An evaluation of a cat's eyes, ears, coat, and skin
- Blood work
- An oral exam
- Parasite control
- Advice about nutrition, exercise, and enrichment
Canine Health Institute associate medical director Adrianne Brode, DVM, says, "Cats generally get less healthcare than dogs." Brode speculates that one reason may be that cats are more expert at hiding their pain -- something these small prey animals do instinctively.
"Some older house cats are pretty inactive and sleep a lot, so owners often just don't notice problems," Brode says. Although you might not see signs of arthritis, tooth loss, or malnutrition in your cat, your vet will.
Mistake 2: Not Spaying or Neutering
Kittens are precious -- there's no doubt about it. Yet every kitten has the potential to grow into a healthy, reproducing cat. If left unchecked, one female cat and her kittens can produce as many as 420,000 cats in seven years.
"There is a huge cat overpopulation problem in the U.S.," McGeorge says. Nationwide, shelters receive up to 7 million unwanted pets each year, and more than half of them are euthanized.
That's why it's important to have cats spayed or neutered before they are old enough to reproduce, McGeorge says. Because a cat can become pregnant at 4 to 6 months of age, it should be spayed or neutered promptly. Kittens can be spayed as early as 8 weeks old.
Spaying or neutering costs less than raising a litter of kittens for a year, according to the ASPCA. Many nonprofit groups offer low-cost spay/neuter options with fees as low as $20. Talk to your vet or a local animal shelter. They may be able to recommend a low-cost spay option near you.

We want to make this the most positive and memorable vacation ever!
We like to upgrade and make improvements from time to time. So while some things may change slightly from the photos, the property will remain mostly as you see it. We update our photos as needed.
I (Jim) grew up on the Big Island (Hawaii) and has lived on Maui for about 25 years. Victoria grew up in Santa Cruz, California and has also lived on Maui for about 25 years. We have owned operated rental properties here in Hawaii for years. We take pride in the quality of our properties and the personal service we give. We feel blessed and lucky to be a small part of some very memorable experiences for our visitors. Besides always upgrading the property we have hired a full time management company to assure our guests can always reach someone if they have a need.
Ma'alaea is central to everything and has some of the most pristine and barely used beaches - it is absolutely the best kept secret on Maui!
Having lived on Maui for roughly 25 years we could have bought anywhere on the island. But after looking at every direct oceanfront building, we had interest in only a couple and chose this one for it's location. We waited years for one of the perfect direct oceanfront units to become available, where we could enjoy the expansive ocean and outer island views throughout our home and step out to the beach any time of day or night. This was one of only six homes in the building that had all the elements we hoped for. Located in one of the smaller complexes on the island. it's location at Ma'alaea mean it's far less busy, quieter and more private than other like properties anywhere else on Maui. Our guests love it as much as we do and return year after year.
This property is one of the most quiet, private and romantic locations on the island. We take pride in keeping the property clean and up-to-date. And unlike absentee owners, because we live on island, we have a unique opportunity to tune it up regularly! It's very important to us that our guests have a positive and memorable experience so they return and share our property with their friends. In addition we employ a management company to assure our guests that someone will be available at all times should there be a need. Warmest Aloha, Jim & Victoria
Can't get any closer to the ocean and not get wet! Loved waking up to the sound of the surf. Great central location. Not far to Lahaina, the farmer's market in Kahului, I'ao Valley (a "must see"--spectacular!). Saw so many turtles in the water and on the beach, and the mama and baby whales in early March were really a treat to see. Be sure to have a meal or two at Coconuts in Kihei--looks like just a fast food place, but SO DELICIOUS!!!. The condo is within walking distance from the Maui Ocean Center, not to mention Beach Bums for Sunday brunch, or Country Market for lunch. If you are into birds, try Kealia Pond NWR--added a few to my Life List.
Our 3rd time at the island sands on Maui it's the perfect location between the north and south of the island as always the unit was exceptional clean and had all of the amenities of home we cooked many meals in and enjoyed the BBQ grill and pool area as well our meals outside provided us the perfect view of sea turtles and whales right from our seats very comfortable and easy access we will definitely be booking this unit and location again
We loved it! Loved the tasteful decor in your condo, enjoyed reading your book about surfing as well as browsing your other books. We had a wonderful time. The condo exceeded our expectations - the central location was very convenient!
We loved staying at your place. Very cozy and felt like home. The view is amazing. I loved the fact we could snorkel right out front and the building is very quiet. Quite refreshing after our stay in Waikiki the week before. I love the free parking. Thank you for having so many DVDs and games available, that was great! We hope to be back soon :)
WOW! Where to start. Mahalo to Jim and Victoria for the use of their Condo for a 2 week vacation in Maui. Booking was simple and the communication with Jim was excellent, he answered any questions I had immediately. The Condo was situated in the perfect location for exploring the whole Island. 15 mins to Kahului, 10 mins to Kihei, 25 mins to Lahaina and beyond. Absolutely perfect. Totally safe and no problems with parking thanks to a reserved spot with the condo. It took us 36 hours, traveling from our Scottish home to get to the condo, so because of the jet lag we managed to get the sunrise every morning over Haleakala while enjoying breakfast on the porch listening to the Pacific and watching the turtles! Yes it sounds unreal, but I kid you not, we did this EVERY morning. This condo has everything required for a vacation and has a really comfortable bed. Small things like a safe, washing machine/dryer, beach chairs, snorkelling gear etc were a god-send. The condo was spotlessly clean and easy to maintain during your stay. The residents and maintenance guy (Hi Ben!) are all very friendly to visitors.
As for the area, Maalaea is a nice quiet town with a great bar that serves the islands only smoked BBQ (Beach Bums). The harbour (correct spelling...LOL) is great for boat trips. We took the Pride of Maui dinner sunset cruise which was excellent. Try and do all you can, like the Road to Hana and go fully clockwise, the road after Hana isn't too bad and brings you out at scenery like the Serengeti! Do Haleakala at sunset if sunrise isn't your thing and stay to watch the Milky Way above you in TOTAL darkness. Old Lahaina Luau is also fantastic. These are just a couple of things to do, we were there 13 days and did something different every day. Now we'll have to arrange to come back and do another load of different things. This is definitely our favourite (correct spelling LOL) US vacation destination. Once again, Mahalo Jim and Victoria.
This was our third time staying here. This is paradise and much nicer then the photos show! It's a really peaceful and you're only about 15-20 steps from the water. Its always clean and tidy and has everything we need to feel at home. Jim and Victoria have always been great host, quick respond to any questions or needs we may have. We'll be back this spring.
We stayed here for 4 nights over Labor Day, 2014. We booked it based on the view from the lanai, which was actually much nicer than the picture could capture. You can see towards Wailea and Makena, Molokina, etc. Loved watching the boats leave the harbor in the morning about 7 am and returning about 4 pm. And the surfers going out to enjoy the waves right off shore. The grounds are very well maintained. Good location for exploring the island in all directions. Fabulous beach walk at the end of the block. Drove down to the beach park and left our towels, etc. in the car. Beach stretches for miles with no buildings around - bird sanctuary behind. Each morning, we'd walk out a mile or so and back, get our stuff from the car and then swim and relax on the beach. Wonderful. Guess it is a high wind area, but we were fortunate and only had mild breezes. Apartment itself is very basic, but has what you need. Nice to have an assigned parking spot and first floor access - no messing with elevators or stairs. Very quiet so we slept well. We really enjoyed our stay. THANKS!
A well kept secret. Ma'alaea is the most central location to all Maui activities!
A short stroll away you will find a wide variety of activities including:
* Maui's longest, five-mile beach, mostly undeveloped and perfect for strolling, bird watching, shell collecting, snorkeling, and all water sports.
* A choice of restaurants, convenience stores and deli.
* The famous Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, voted "Best attraction on Maui"
* Recreational activities at the Maui Sports Park include mini golf, bumper boats, harness / bungee trampolines and climbing walls
* The Ma'alaea Shopping Center for a terrific selection of cloths, jewelery and souvenirs.
* A multitude of boating activities available at Ma'alaea harbor that include whale watching tours, fishing adventures, diving, snorkeling and many other boating related options.

Black spot is a fungal disease and that's the problem with fungal diseases. The spores are airborne, invisible to the naked eye, and everywhere. All a spray can do is coat the leaves - on both sides - to make life more difficult for the spores getting a grip. It doesn't guarantee freedom from disease. If only it did.
Even if 2010 was unusual, it sounds like you've got a great growing season.
The only secrets to growing toms and chillies are to keep things simple, don't molly-coddle them, and don't fret over them. Providing you start with decent soil, your only real role is to keep them alive. And to enjoy the results.
And that none of them have bolted. They won't store.
Some chilli varieties ripen to what looks like black, finty. Try one and see what it's like. The plant is from last season? Was it overwintered?
Yes, you can freeze them but, thawed, they will be mushy because of their high water content. They won't fry to crispness, for example, but they're fine added during cooking.
Peel them, chop them. Then you have two options.
1. Spread them out on a tray on some baking paper, put the tray into the freezer till they're frozen, then transfer them, frozen, into freezer bags. Extract as much air from the bags as possible, tie them up tightly, label them and put them in the freezer. This method avoids ending up with one big lump of frozen onions.
2. Put the chopped onion straight into freezer bags, extract as much air as possible, tie them up tightly, etc, put them in the freezer. But they will freeze in one lump.
Japaholic, with those temps you might have some trouble with fruit setting, particularly if there is humidity too. Here in Central Italy I get temps into the 40s in summer and, if prolonged, the flowers just fry on the plant.
Not much to be done about it except, once you're more familiar with the weather patterns, plant to try to avoid the worst of the heat. Eg, plant out as early as possible to get in before the worst of the heat, and, if you get good warm autumns, think about planting some later to grow through the autumn.
That's what I used to do in Sydney with tomato varieties - like Brandywine Sudduth - that just wouldn't set fruit in hot, humid weather. Perfect for autumn, though.
Sounds like you're well set up, Japaholic. Chillies, like tomatoes, are self-pollinating but they can sometimes need a bit of assistance.
Outdoors, foraging insects poking around in the flowers can help trigger the internal mechanics that cause pollination. Bagged, the flowers won't get the insect help. You can achieve the same thing by giving the flower a light flick with your fingers. With my toms, I slip the bag off every couple of days, check for fruit, and give the flowers a flick if there isn't any.
Growing in poly tunnels can also inhibit insect access so the finger flick's a good idea, too.
If you're short on insect life, you can apply the finger flick across the entire crop. I inspect my toms every day and give 'em a flick for luck.
What sort of summer high temps do you get? Prolonged bouts of very hot weather can and will work against pollination.
There are different Phostrogen products on the market but the all-purpose product's NPK is 14:10:27. The N stands for nitrogen and 14 is a very high figure. Chilli Focus's NPK is much more suitable.
The necrotic area looks like it rings the fruit, a bit too extensive for scorching.
Have you been fertilising? What with? Excessive nitrogen can produce that result.
