Six debutants who made their mark in 2016
These are the cricketers who delighted their country's selectors by getting their international careers off to a flying start in 2016.
When all is not well, when there is a gap to be filled, then fresh blood is called for. It is a proud moment to put on your country's colours and represent it on the field. Even spectators appreciate the wonderful sight of a debutant who gets into the flow. A dark horse, no one can predict for certain when he is capable off once he steps onto the green. As he sheds his nerves and finds himself, it is a sight well worth the wait. Several cricketers who have gotten off to a flying start this year but we look the ones who distinguished themselves the most in 2016.
Jayant Yadav
With Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Amit Mishra ahead of him, Jayant Yadav's chances of making the playing XI looked slim. However, the off-spinner got his chance in the second Test between India and England. With 42 first-class matches behind him, Yadav has enough experience in first class cricket and would go on to score 35 runs in a vital 64-run stand with fellow spinner Ashwin. His easy action with the ball impressed as well, displaying vigour in the field to pick up a wicket. An admirable overall performance was further improved upon a few days later, when he would go on to become the first Indian to score a century while batting at the No. 9 spot. His heroics earned him the earnest praise of his skipper and partner, Virat Kohli.
Haseeb Hameed
Haseeb Hameed broke a record before he even started batting as he became the youngest opening batsman for England at 19 years and 297 days. His age, however, was not reflected in his demeanour. Calm and assured, he notched up a steady 31 and 82 runs on his debut to become England's youngest half-centurion. A very good player of spin, his sound defence helped him cope better against the Indian bowlers. Of Indian heritage, his father was a self-taught cricketer while he himself travelled to India to train at the age of 16, going on to play for Lancashire. Later in the series, the 19-year-old would go on to wow the nation by hitting a fighting fifty with a shattered finger.
Colin de Grandhomme
Kiwi cricketer, Colin de Grandhomme, made his debut later than most. In the crosshairs of New Zealand selectors for a while, Colin finally earned a place in the Test squad thanks to his performance with bat and ball at the first-class level. A consummate batsman, he ironically got his international debut was off to a dream start thanks to his skill with the ball. Surprising the opposition, he proved to be devastating to Pakistan, picking up 6 wickets for 41 runs to send them crashing, ultimately to a defeat. His wait for a Test cap might have been a long one but it makes his debut all the more sweet.
Peter Handscomb
The Australian cricket team was looking for a change, an infusion of younger players and one of the first on the list was Peter Handscomb. At 25 years of age, the youngster captained Australia A before getting a chance to make his debut for the national side. One of the best players of spin in the country, Handscomb is a welcome addition to his team. He made a statement with his debut, bringing up an unbeaten half-century against South Africa and followed it up a month later with a maiden Test hundred against Pakistan as wickets fell around him. With captain Steve Smith suitably impressed, the future looks bright for this young man.
Matt Renshaw
Another Australian to impress his captain is Matt Renshaw. The Australian team's poor performance in the first two Tests in South Africa saw a space open for the southpaw to make his debut along with fellow rookie Handscomb. Renshaw brought up 71 in his second test, playing beautifully under pressure. He might be 20 years old and is known to possess an aggressive streak, reminding many of a certain Matthew Hayden. This is an exciting new time for Australia and these young guns have the potential to make a great impact.
Keaton Jennings
A former captain of the South African Under-19 squad, 24-year-old Keaton Jennings was able to commit to England thanks to his mother's nationality. When Hameed injured his finger playing against India, Keaton Jennings got a chance to start off his Test career. Nearly getting caught early on, he settled down to bring up a century in difficult conditions in India. While his was a dream start, he was unable to replicate the feat a second time as he got out for a duck. However, he has shown enough to merit a longer run in the squad as him and Hameed could be the answer to England's top order woes.

General Motors Co. is investing $546 million in two new Michigan data centers aimed at getting new vehicle designs and technologies to consumers faster, resulting to a boost in the carmaker's bottom line. GM unveiled on May 13, 2013, a $288-million data center in the Detroit suburb of Warren, which went online in January. GM will spend $258 million to build a companion center at its vehicle proving grounds in Milford, Michigan.
Construction of the companion center will start summer. According to GM officials, the data centers will help engineers identify and solve problems more quickly than when it outsourced around 90 percent of its information technology (IT) needs. GM chief executive Dan Akerson noted that they had around six key suppliers of IT services with each of them having their "own little control center," and the carmaker could not see anymore what was going on in its network.
He said that new data centers allow GM to look into its plants and production, "where supply chain is a problem or an asset." GM targets to bring 90 percent of its IT work back in the next five years. The Milford center is scheduled to be operational by 2015, when GM will have trimmed its IT facilities to two from the current 23.
GM Chief Information Officer Randy Mott remarked that several of the carmaker's rivals outsource around one-third of their IT functions, noting that GM was the most outsourced. Mott said GM aims to become least outsourced carmaker. GM noted that since the Milford center will be just 40 miles from its Warren site, each could serve as a backup if the other crashes due to technical problems.

* Vienna Initiative 2.0 aims to halt stampede from region
* EBRD worried about unruly flight from emerging Europe
* Austrian banks play down danger of credit crunch
By Michael Shields and Michael Winfrey
VIENNA, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Top bankers sought to play down fears on Tuesday that they would abandon emerging Europe in a rush to hoard capital that could cripple efforts to bridge the continent's economic divide, but one senior official warned the process was already under way.
Western banks need to shore up their balance sheets under regulatory pressure to ensure a debt crisis does not drag them into the abyss again just as it seemed they had turned the corner from the 2008/09 financial crisis.
That has stoked worries that lenders heavily invested in central and eastern Europe will curtail business there, leaving the region exposed to a credit crunch that would paralyse the growth countries need to boost prosperity.
Governments, regulators and international agencies agreed in Vienna to cooperate in trying to avert a stampede from the region, especially in Hungary and countries in southeastern Europe that analysts say are most at risk of a banking crisis.
The programme is being called a second "Vienna Initiative", loosely modelled on a 2009 pact that prevented a financial meltdown in eastern Europe as an economic boom went bust.
But officials at a regional economic conference disagreed on how big the danger was, and whether banks were even deleveraging - scaling back business - at all.
"There will be no general deleveraging" by Austrian banks, the leading lenders in the region, Austrian National Bank Governor Ewald Nowotny told reporters.
"Wherever there are good opportunities where it makes sense from an economic point of view, Austrian banks will be prepared to grant loans," he said.
The head of Raiffeisen Bank International, emerging Europe's third-biggest lender, saw scant danger of having to scale back in the region.
"There is no deleveraging taking place," RBI Chief Executive Herbert Stepic said at the Euromoney conference.
"What is happening is probably it will come to very slow or no growth of bank assets. But what I am seeing now, also in the last quarter, is that is not coming to a reduction in assets."
That contrasted sharply with warnings from Erik Berglof, chief economist of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and a key architect of the new Vienna Initiative.
"We are very concerned about a lot of signs of deleveraging, about a lot of announcements of a reduced commitment in the region, the fact that a number of subsidiaries are for sale and so on," he told Reuters in Vienna.
Berglof would not give details on which banks were for sale, but said, "there are quite a few subsidiaries in play".
Austrian regulators in particular have come under fire for pressing ahead unilaterally with rules that link lending growth by CEE subsidiaries to the amount of financing they can arrange locally.
Berglof told the conference he was encouraged by the consensus emerging on policy coordination. "Now it's time to sit down and work out the details together with the private sector."
But London-based Capital Economics called the discussions "a damp squib", noting that in the first incarnation of the plan the European Union and international financial institutions ponied up 24.5 billion euros and secured commitments from western banks to maintain their exposure in the region.
It said there was no sign of a similar commitment this time, adding that Hungary appeared to be most at risk after a string of policies had alienated lenders and because of its reluctance to accept help from the EU and IMF, with whom it is in tortuous talks now for a financing package.
"We also remain concerned about Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia, but their problems are probably manageable with external help," Capital Economics said in a research note.
The original Vienna Initiative helped west European banks maintain their exposure to subsidiaries in emerging Europe at the height of the global financial crisis, but the commitments expired last April.
Banks have since come under new pressure to sell assets to raise their core capital ratio, reduce their risk profile and focus on home markets, while their ability to fund themselves on capital markets has weakened.
Among the main lenders concerned are Austria's Erste Group Bank and Raiffeisen Bank International, Italy's Unicredit and Belgium's KBC, all of which face regulatory pressure to boost their capital buffers.
The aims of the initiative dubbed "Vienna 2.0" are more modest than in 2009: to slow the pace of deleveraging and avoid a regional funding crisis rather than to maintain investments.
"In the absence of coordination, excessive and disorderly deleveraging as well as a credit crunch may be the outcome," an official statement by the bodies taking part in the new Vienna Initiative-style plan said.
The initiative brought together representatives of the banks' home and host countries, plus the European Commission, the European Banking Authority, the European Systemic Risk Board as well as the International Monetary Fund, the EBRD, the European Investment Bank and the World Bank.

We are in Castiglione delle Stiviere, a little town that lays down on the green Colline Moreniche of the Garda Lake, not far from Mantua. The Cesarina hosting us today is Flora Elisa, born and raised in a typical big country house: she remembers the flavours of her childhood and the freshness of the products that came from the vegetable garden, the sounds of the animals in the nearby farm, and the scent of the bread baked in the wood-fired stove, made by expert hands every day, and recipes and dishes from her family tradition.
In this way, her passion for cooking was born, driven by the desire to recall "the scent of bread they used to bake, of the chicken that they'd boil up in a big pot while preparing the Sunday broth". Our Cesarina takes a deep interest in her region and its traditions, and her thorough research led her to the role of manager for a cuisine column in a newspaper of Mantua, "Cucina e Sapori". She is also member of a consortium that protects and encourages traditional cooking habits of the Colline Moreniche of Garda.

My son wants to try flag football this spring. He's in 4th grade and has thrown a football around but doesn't really know the rules of the game. I looked into FriscoFootball4Fun and the program looks good, but they don't place players according to skill level and so each team has mixed skill levels. I am concerned he will get on a team that everyone knows how to play that won't really teach the basics and he won't get to play much. What are your suggestions for where to play?
No announcement yet.
Flag Football for a New Player 10 Yrs Old
new posts
My son is 8 and he played at Fieldhouse Indoor Flag football last summer and was new. It's not necessarily a recommendation, but I do like the Fieldhouse programs and how they run things. We are looking at Spring flag football. He didn't really know anything about it, so it was a good intro for him. I wouldn't give 9/10 yr olds too much credit of "knowing everything" as there are probably alot that are in the same boat as you of being new. Fieldhouse has minimum playing time rules for basketball, I assume they do for football as well. He played on a "pool team", so most players on the team were new to football. Although, you'll probably run up against teams that have played together a while, where they are alot more skilled. I don't know that you'll get away from that, it goes with football, soccer, basketball, etc. More importantly is getting a good parent coach that will understand it's about all the kids on team, not just a select few. There are great coaches and some are jerks,you just hope you get with a good one.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, he's shown the interest, so that's the important part, then let things fall into place and see how it goes. Worst case, you don't sign up again.

Find out the fascinating stories behind more than 1,500 titles of films, novels, plays, paintings, and musical compositions. Some are humorous or ironic, others risqué or purposely baffling. Attractive feature-boxes focus on a range of specialties and oddities, from monosyllabic titles to punning ones.
In selecting the novels, plays, paintings, and musical works whose titles he explains here, Crofton (A Dictionary of Art Quotations) acknowledges that keeping the volume to a manageable length made it impossible to include all the works he would have liked to cover. As he notes, the book is "not intended as a comprehensive cultural companion, but as an exploration of byways, oddities and serendipities." Entries run from D.H. Lawrence's Aaron's Rod through Edward Albee's Zoo Story and tell us the story behind each title. The section on T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, for example, indicates that the title is taken from Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur and associated with the quest for the Holy Grail and cites works whose titles derive from Eliot's poem. The resource also features titles in such quirky categories as body parts, "the oddest title of the year award," St. Cecelia, and Salome. One index covers the authors, composers, and artists whose works are included, while the other cross-references sources from which titles explained in the book are taken. This informative and entertaining work is recommended for both public and academic libraries.-Denise J. Stankovics, Rockville P.L., Vernon, CT Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Did we get snookered by Snooki?
After getting into a accident with a police car in Italy, Jersey Shore star Snooki sported a neck brace, then later waved it around and laughed.
"She was joking," says an MTV spokesperson. "She sustained no injuries as a result of the traffic incident."
PHOTOS: Snooki's Celebrity BFFs
The reality star, real name Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, got into the fender-bender while driving with costar Deena Nicole Cortese and a member of the show's production team in Florence.
She crashed into the back of a traffic patrol car, which ironically, was escort that had been appointed for the TV stars' personal safety.
There was no alcohol involved in the accident and no one was arrested, but Snooki did lose her international drivers license, MTV says.

The wait is over: Vaughan & Martin's 'The Private Eye' #4 arrives
It's been more than three months since we last saw a new installment of The Private Eye, the name-your-own-price digital comic by Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martin and Muntsa Vicente, but now the wait is over with the release of the fourth issue on Panel Syndicate.
Planned for "around 10 issues total," The Private Eye is a sci-fi detective story set in a not-too-distant future where surveillance is so prevalent, and privacy so sacred, that everyone possesses a secret identity. Against that backdrop, the protagonist — an unlicensed journalist, akin to a private investigator — is drawn into a mysterious plot.
You can check out a preview of the 30-page fourth issue below.

"Yikes! "
It's not bad enough that the author insists on reading his own book, but he... reads... it... so... slow that you feel like he thinks you're retarded. It's too bad he didn't hire a pro. But more importantly, the content is so basic. It was the second tape before he got into any substance and then it was really simple stuff. Now I'm thinking I DO need to go back to my therapist...
I haven't read or heard a book I didn't like...Until now. I worked very hard to finish it, but I just couldn't stand it anymore. It is read in the most horrible dead-pan style. Information is often repeated over and over again in many of the chapters. I was looking for more information on Life coaching, but mostly just got why therapy isn't usually a good idea for most people drummed over and over again.

Take a look at the SCWCD resources at
Anyone who can point out an error or correction gets the key to the complete 69 question additional mock exam that is available and the end of the course. Take a look, its probably the biggest most concentrated resource currently freely available on this topic and I'm probably going to start charging at some time.
SCWCD: Online Course, 50,000+ words and 200+ questions
1. The example for the deployment descriptor uses version 2.3.
I think it should be better to use 2.4, as the exam is for that version.
2. The same example uses the default package for the servlet, which should really be avoided. Let's put the servlet in a package. It will also make it clearer for beginners to distinguish between the servlet name and the servlet class name.
3. Some methods in the "javax.servlet interface" section start with upper-case (GetServletConfig and GetServletInfo)
4. Maybe it's only me, but I like HTTP methods' name in upper-case POST, GET, PUT...
5. Before "Testing your servlet", it would be clearer if there would be a description of the directory structure, under webapps.
6. "The javax.servlet interface". javax.servlet is a package. javax.servlet.GenericServlet or javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet ?
. "you don't kneed to worry" -> "you don't need to worry"
. "Note how the a servlet knows very little" -> "Note how a servlet knows very little"
. "Under Windows Tomcat is installed as a service" -> "Under Windows, Tomcat can be installed as a service"
. "Tomcat runs on Port 8080" -> "Tomcat runs on port 8080"
. "If you scroll down the screen to the right will be a link " -> "If you scroll down the screen, on the right, there is a link "
. "if you are creating a webapplication" -> "if you are creating a web application "
. "you might think that is all that is required to execute it was to place it in the correct directory and call it" -> "you might think that all that is required to execute it was to place it in the correct directory and call it"
. "Every servlet must have a matching file with the name WEB.XML which is known as the deployment descriptor." -> what is this ? maybe "Every servlet must be declared in a file called web.xml, which is known as the deployment descriptor. "
. "deployment descriptor (WEB.XML)" -> let's write "web.xml" in lower-case
. Servlet is sometimes spelled with an unnecessary capital letter
. http://localhost:/8080/yourdir/servlet/HelloWorldServlet -> extra "/" before the port number
. About the init() method : "This is called by the servlet container (Tomcat usually)" I feel that "usually" is unnecessary.
. "hyperlinkor types" -> "hyperlink or types"
. "without any body The head method" -> "without any body. The head method"
. HTTP POSTt -> HTTP POST
I'm not English native, but I think you should add some commas here and there.

Did a rm -R / to find out that I lost my entire Linux installation!
. Javax.servlet.servletRequests -> javax.servlet.ServletRequest
. HTTPServletRequest -> HttpServletRequest

. [url=http://localhost:8080/mg/servlet/HelloWorldServlet?username=%27joe%27]http://localhost:8080/mg/servlet/HelloWorldServlet?username='joe'[/url] : I'm not sure about the single quotations around joe
. public class processpost : coding conventions say to an upper-case letter for the classname. -> public class ProcessPost
. WEB.XML -> web.xml
. The "processpost" servlet declaration in web.xml : the </servlet> tag is missing
. outlook -> Microsoft Outlook
. JSPTM Pages1 ?? -> JSP Pages ?

I was not particularly looking for it because I already have the certification. I'd just like to help you make a great place to refer to for exam takers My English is not good, so please don't take everything I say for granted
. used to return text HTML in the form of a web page-> used to output HTML
. Printwriter -> PrintWriter
. HelloWorld should appear in your browser -> "Hello world" should appear in your browser
. class myservlet -> class MyServlet
. HTTPServletResponse -> HttpServletResponse
. setResponseType -> setContentType
. indicate the contents of files -> indicate the content of files
. "The other point is that you cannot call perform a redirect is the response" -> "The other point is that you cannot perform a redirect if the response" (2 typos)
. outputstream -> output stream
. "i.e. After each request" -> "i.e. after each request"
The following is seen through different resource, so I won't point them out again :
. Servlet -> servlet
. WEB.XML -> web.xml
. The following part was not clear
"This is called automatically by the servlet container and as it causes the application context (WEB.XML) to be parsed and any initialization will be performed." (twice in the text)
. An example of how load-on-startup is used (and the meaning of its value) would be nice
.My previous comment about adding some commas still holds For example : "As it only makes sense to initialize a servlet once the specification ensures that init will only be called once." If you don't put a comma after "once", I think that it makes it a bit difficult to read.
. Where it finds a Servlet -> when it find a servlet
. HTTPServlet -> HttpServlet
. discriptor -> descriptor
. "without having them hard coded in with your Java" -> "without having them hard coded in your Java source"
. Servlet.service -> GenericServlet.service
. The Destroy Method -> The destroy Method
. This can happen where the container -> This can happen when the container
. a pool of instances of a Servlet -> a pool of instances of servlets
. it may destroy them -> it may destroy it
I want to point out a very small error in section 8.1, for this statement:
The general syntax for the useBean tag is as follows.
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" type=�classtype� class="com.mydomain.ClassName" scope="session" />
The it attribute is mandatory . It should be
The id attribute is mandatory .
Also in section 8.2, the first statement says, "The <jsp:include and <jsp:forward tags dynamically include the content of another web resource"
As per my suggestion it should be,
"The <jsp:include> dynamically include the content of another web resource and <jsp:forward> is used for the runtime dispatch of the current request to a static resource or dynamic resource in the same context".
Because <jsp:forward> is not used for inclusion of contents.

1. About "The webapps directory". I think that this is Tomcat dependent (this is not part of the specification), and might be out of scope here.
2. The part "WEB-INF/tld". This is not true, as the tag library descriptor files must always be in the WEB-INF directory, or some subdirectory of it (when not packaged in a JAR file)
. "and contain the minimum directory of WEB-INF" -> "and contains at least the WEB-INF directory"
. "from a visiting web browser and" -> the sentence is incomplete.
. The document root directory -> I'm not sure it should be called that way. The application root directory, or the context root directory
. "I could create a directory called chapter2 under the webapps directory. If I then access Tomcat with the URLl" -> "I could create a directory called chapter2 under the webapps directory and access it via the following URL:"
. you logos -> your logos
. C:\appps -> C:\apps maybe
. "where the deployment descriptor file (WEB.XML) is stored and the following three directories." -> "where the deployment descriptor file (web.xml) and the following three directories are stored." (note that WEB-INF/tld should be removed, so it should be "two directories")
. "represents you package structure" -> "represents your package structure"
. names space -> namespace
. jar files Because -> jar files. Because
. "deploy within applications" -> "deploy them within the container"
. "custom tag libraries ( taglibs) have a *.tld file." -> custom tag libraries have a descriptor whose extension is ".tld"
1. contains information on the configuration of servlets in a web application.
I would say "contains information on the configuration of the web application, including the configuration of servlets"
2. is used in such diverse tools as the RSS feeds that allow content aggregation from web sites to the new file format for an upcoming version of Microsoft Office.
I would say "is used in diverse tools such as RSS feeds that allow content aggregation from web sites, or such as an upcoming version of Microsoft Office
3. deployment descriptor (WEB.XML) for my simple HelloWorldServlet was
a deployment descriptor is not for a servlet, but for an application. Note that the DTD shown is for version 2.3. That would be better to use 2.4 instead.
. i.e. A language -> i.e. a language
. "you are observing.," -> "you are observing."
1. My previous comment about using version 2.4 still holds I won't point it out anymore.
2. Let's use your own advice in section 2.2, and not put servlets right under classes. Let's put them in packages. I won't point it out anymore either.
3. servlet-class is not mandatory. jsp-file can be used instead to redirect to a jsp file.
4. The page that this attribute points to must have the isErrorPage=true attribute set : this is not true, as an error page can leave this attribute to false. This attribute is used to access the "exception" implicit object. So I would say "may" instead of "must".
. undcer -> under
. serlvet -> servlet
. /errorPage.jsp -> /errorpage.jsp
. com.examulator.backupservlet -> com.examulator.BackupServlet
. contents of file -> content of file
. Mapping between -> mapping between

SCJP 1.4, SCWCD 1.4 - Hints for you, Certified Scrum Master
Did a rm -R / to find out that I lost my entire Linux installation!
And for other students of the exam, note I will be making the course a commercial charged for resource at some point in the future so might like to take advantage of it before I make that change. However even when I go commercial won't be very expensive.

tell him to appear for the exam now.. i bet he will score highest...
unlike others (including me) he doesnt loose the habit of reading and ansering the queries posted here,,
cheers satou
SCJP 1.4 - 95% [ My Story ] - SCWCD 1.4 - 91% [ My Story ]
Performance is a compulsion, not a option, if my existence is to be justified.
About 2.4) War files
Comment : the content looks like the part about packing files in a JAR file, so comments there still hold.
. you are center to copy -> you need to copy
. web-application -> web application
. A war file is merely set -> A war file is merely a set
. The command line for the jar utility -> The command line parameters for the jar utility
. jar-tvf -> jar -tvf
. "table verbose files" -> "table verbose filename"
. param value tag. -> param-value tag.
. parameter called name -> parameter called username
About 3.2) Servlet Scopes and attributes
Comment :
1. it would be cool to have the full methods signature (getAttribute, setAttribute) instead of just the mehotd name.
2. about the "atrribute scope" table. I'd make a three column table instead, with "scope, class, lifetime"
For example : request - ServletRequest - Duration of the request
3. You should mention that SingleThreadModel is deprecated and should not be used anymore
. For example it you might have a login servlet that hands off to other servlets for the actual processing, or they can be used with the session mechanism to preserve data between requests.
-> For example you might set some attributes in a login servlet that hands off to other servlets for the actual processing. Attributes can also be used with the session mechanism to preserve data between requests.
. to retrieve it it -> to retrieve it
. The three attribute scopes (request,session,and context) different -> The three attribute scopes (request,session,and context) represent different
. This depends on using a system of a unique identifier -> This depends on using a unique identifier
. i.e. One thread sets a variable value, it is modified by another and the first one accesses it again on the assumption it is in the same state as when it center it
-> For example, if thread T1 sets an attribute A, and thread T2 sets the same attribute A, there might be unpredictable results if thread T1 reads attribute A back again.
. i.e. It has no methods -> i.e. it has no methods
1. The order filters are called : The order in the descriptor is also important. An example would be nice.
2. The part "Mapping filters to dispatchers" is not clear and might be out of place
3. The example uses EL, although EL has not been covered yet. Might be confusing.
4. About the deprecation warning, this is related to the following bug : (5086088)
(It was fixed in 1.6)
. e.g. You might -> e.g. y
. Filters : filters. Like servlets, they don't need a
. chaining together of Unix command -> chaining together Unix command
. init(), -> init()
. The doFilter method takes parameter of -> The doFilter method takes the following parameters
. requires the user -> requires the use
. As the name implies these classes wrap by taking a request or response object as a constructor parameter.
-> As the name implies, these classes wrap a request or a response, by taking respectively the request or response object as a constructor parameter.
. pefform -> perform
. importance -> impotence
. and custom version -> and provide a custom version
. "The form that generates the parameter" -> "The form that generates the parameter (sourceform.jsp)"
. "The form that shows the filtered output" -> "The form that shows the filtered output (output.jsp)"
1. mapping the listener to a servlet -> there's no mapping for listeners
2. I'm not sure about the example MyContextAttributeListener.java. If the attribute has been removed, why calling getAttribute ?
. Examples of application events are where -> Examples of application events are when
. create a class that generated a database connection -> create a class that generates a database connection
. Ge.g. -> e.g
. listener class-tags -> listener-class tags
. i.e. It -> i.e. it
. getAttributeName -> getAttributeNames
. Don't forget you can think of ServletContext as Application Context) -> missing parenthesis
. for The servlet containe -> for the servlet container
. context.getAttribute("sUserName"); -> context.getAttribute("username"); (in two places)
. HTTPSerssion -> HttpSession
. codeshows -> code shows
. javax.servlet.Http.HttpServletRequest -> javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
. SerlvetRequest -> ServletRequest
. i.e. The -> i.e. the
. the requestInitialised method -> the requestInitialized method (it's named that way in the source sample)
. For an attributes to be migrated between distributed JVM's any attributes must implement the java.io.Serializable interface.
-> For attributes to be migrated between distributed JVM's, they must implement the java.io.Serializable interface.
Under the heading "The include directive"
1. <% @include file=�menu.jsp� %>
There should not be any space bet <% and @
2. <jsp: include page=�menu.jsp� />
There should not be any space bet <jsp: and include
3. The include directive happens at translation time (i.e. The very first time your jsp page is called the code gets written to a servlet) and the include directive happens each time at runtime.
include directive happens each time at runtime -> include action happens each time at runtime
4. Under the heading �JSP Declarations
If you want to create new methods within the output service or to create fields (class level variables) you add an exclamation mark (!) after the percentage symbol and that acts as what is called a declaration.
�within the output service� that part is not clear.
SCJP 1.5
SCWCD 1.4
1. The headings �Import�, �IsELIgnored�, �Include� and �Taglib� starts with capital letters, where as �session� and �contentType� starts with small letters.
2. <%@ page import=�java.util.*,java.io.*� %>
The xml equivalent tag is
<jsp:directive.page language="java.util.*"/>
xml equivalent should be
<jsp:directive.page import="java.util.*,java.io.*"/>
3. MIME originally stood for Multipurpose Internet mail extensions ->

The xml equivalent tag is

2. <:jsp:expression
remove the colon before jsp
3. The reason for this is so that the less than symbol < does not get interpreted as the start of the closure of the <js:scriptlet tag
The letter p is missing in <jsp:scriplet tag
4. <jsp:directive.directive
Either remove the second directive or change it to directivetext
5. <%@ page errorPage="errorPage" %>
-> <%@ page errorPage="errorPage.jsp" %>
6. Unfortunately it does not quite work quite correctly -> an extra �quite�

NOAH Reporter
The NOAH Reporter is your tool for creating, naming, saving and sharing on-demand queries of the database. The results of the queries can be used to export data, send a blast email, print mailing labels and produce counts and lists.
You can use the NOAH Reporter to create simple lists or to create complex, compound queries. You can create as many criteria as you like, and can then join the criteria via AND, OR and NOT operators. All of the criteria screens use your field labels, and only the fields you have turned on show up in the criteria. Thus you do not need to know the first thing about building an SQL query, or how the NOAH database is defined. You simply fill out the parameters of your query in the same manner as used for inputting the data or running a report, and group the criteria as you wish.
Examples of simple queries include everyone that is a current member of a committee or set of committees. All current members who have not registered for a particular meeting or event. Everyone that purchased a particular item from the online store. Everyone that made a donation during a specific time frame or within a specific dollar amount range.
Your queries can get far more complex, and can use set logic. Examples of these queries include all current members that registered for last year's annual meeting and have not registered for this year's meeting. All exhibitors that have purchased a booth in any of the past 5 annual meetings that have not yet purchased a booth this year. Or this same question of exhibitors with the additional criteria of any companies that have advertised in or sponsored any of the prior 5 annual meetings.

In central New South Wales, Australia, flowers of Acacia brachybotrya and Eremophila glabra plants growing in linear vegetation remnants received less pollen than conspecifics in nearby reserves. Pollen supplementation increased fruit production by both species, indicating pollen limitation of fruit set. Together these observations explain why fruit production by these species was depressed in linear-strip populations relative to nearby reserves. This study confirms that habitat fragmentation can lead to decline in pollination and subsequent fruit set in wild plant populations. Disrupted pollination interactions of the kind documented in this study may offer a substantial challenge to the conservation of biodiversity in fragmented landscapes.

Masters 2015: Marc Leishman withdraws to spend time with his ill wife
Australia's Marc Leishman has withdrawn from the Masters due to personal reasons, tournament organisers announced yesterday.
Leishman's wife Audrey was taken ill with an apparent case of pneumonia last week and put into an induced coma in hospital.
"It is with both deep regret and incredible relief I am withdrawing from the Masters tournament this week," Leishman in a statement.
"My wife Audrey has survived a life-threatening medical emergency and I have decided to remain by her side with our children.
"Thanks to an incredible team of doctors and nurses Audrey appears to be on the road to a full recovery. Our two young children remain blessed to have the world's best mum in their lives. I want to pass along our thanks to all who supported us through this difficult period.
"We ask that you keep Audrey in your thoughts and prayers and I wish my best to all of the competitors for a great 2015 Masters."

Obama's second term proved that.
I don't know.
Obama's second term seems every bit as likely, due to two things:
First off, he's the only African-American president. Likely to remain the only one, from what he's show so-far.
And second, to tell the truth we ran candidates both races, who were remarkably like Obama.
Who in the world would vote against Obama, for Romney? Or vote against Obama, for McCain?
We need to stop imitating Democrat candidates, and stop nominating "me too" candidates.
No more McCain and no more Romney.
For that matter, no more GOP but that is just me.
IN 2016 we need a real, solid conservative. Or two.
(Palin, Cruz are just two possibilities)
For American jobs, and for America.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
This build provides high damage with crit and high life steal to survive ... this build proves useful to me in summoners rift not dominion! With this build you should NOT go into a fight first or alone in less it is 1v1 and your enemy dose not have long cc to shut you done....before going into a fight make sure that most of there cc has already been used on your other team members so you don't get instant DEAD! The armor pen runes allow me to build for more damage and the AS also dose the same.... depending on the enemy team you may want to customize to more armor pen like a black cleaver/ ghost blade.......enjoy and please rate, and comment what you think and what i should change!!!!

"Insignia worked with us to review and enhance our incident management planning. Right from the start, the Insignia team has been personable and approachable. We liked the fact that they understood that it's not a case of 'one size fits all' and took time to get to know us as a business and developed a bespoke solution.
The media training was excellent: well organised and well executed. The quality of feedback and facilitation was outstanding: we had extremely positive feedback from all of the senior managers who attended.
Insignia's expertise in incident management is clear, but just as important is the way in which they work with us. They make complex things simple, and the team is very quick and responsive to our needs. As a consequence, we have great confidence in them."

Wow! I am shocked at the bad reviews. I LIVE at Montreux. I am there nearly five times a week. I have NEVER had a bad experience. I have never seen the drunks people talk about either. In fact, one person in our group was dropping the "F" bomb rather loud and the waiter came over to say, "You're going to have to quiet down." My friend was greatly offended, but I really appreciated that.
Terrific pulled pork! My new favorite in the Charleston area. I'd eat it without sauce if Mama Q didn't serve up three delicious house-made options. . . the sangria's also a must-have. Don't skip the slaw either, both the hot and sweet are winners! Prices are extremely reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The other menu options are solid as well, but the 'cue stands out amongst stiff Lowcountry competition, and that's saying something significant.
This is a hidden gem in Mt. Pleasant. My wife and I frequent this place, and only once have I ever had a bad experience. That one time was when my entree had probably been sitting for a few minutes, and was warm at best. Again, that was only one time. Their service and food are great. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and I haven't been disappointed yet. Their specials are also very delicious and unique. I highly recommend this place. They have a little bit of everything, and the prices are good.
excellent food, great service, nice decor, good viewing seats.
Early bird is "Out of Control", good that is. Glad they're open late for us people that don't eat till late late night. Although I do have to say, the waitresses always wear out of control things that make me and my boyfriend laugh. Also, the pictures on the wall are always weird. lol But the food makes up for it. You gotta check out "The Little Horrors" that are for sale for 25 dollars on the shelves...lol
I hesitate to write this. I don't want to go here again and have to wait a long time for a table...once people try the food...but i don't won't any negative reviews to be posted and that somehow scare anyone off.
Go here and try it. You won't be disappointed if you love local cuisine.
I've tried countless items on the menu since first stopping in and i've never had a bad item yet.
Go ahead and go anywhere in town for fried seafood..and pay 22 bucks for a seafood platter and i doubt it will taste as yummy as anything this kitchen produces.
simple food done right. choices of excellent sides. incrediable deserts what more can you ask for. Don't pay attention to any negatives and don't pay crazy prices ..this place has it all.
as far as the negative review of service..i've never had anything but excellent service so i really have no idea what thats about...actually even if the service is off on a day you choose to go don't worry about it cause the kitchen and the food is going to make up for any front end downside.
Wild Wing is great, awesome menu. Definitely something for everyone. mmmm PRETZEL BITES!
oh, 5 stars!
Best chicken and waffles EVER. You might want to ask for the honey mustard on the side (instead of on the chicken breasts), since it really doesn't go well with the maple syrup. Yummy mac n cheese, yummy fried green tomatos, VERY yummy desserts. Good prices too. This place is great. Chill and artsy, goes well in West Ashley. Reminds me of the laid-back places in Richmond, VA. I hope this place sticks around for a while, it's def a place you start to crave their food.
OMGoodness the BEST Cheesesteak. Have loved this place from when we found it.
Fries killer but the cheesesteak or wonderful cheesesteak. Really nice people and great food and if you think you are not getting what you came for try somewhere else. This place is the amazing! Make many trips there a month for several cheesesteaks for the hubby.
If you think your tab is being padded,look at your check idiot.The place is amazing,best place in summerville.Tell the owner if you have issues.Guess your bored and can't count and drink more than you realize.Two letters AA
We love CPH for selfish reasons. It is our go-to place on the way home from working downtown, late-night. They offer full menu (I think) until 1230 and you can't beat the beer selection. Try the rosemary popcorn; I would not have given it a second glance until a free sample at happy hour and now it is a sure thing everytime I go in. The mussels are great and the fries that come with them are a delicious bonus. Staff/owners seem like great people and we hope they do well. Since Vic's closed/changed owners this is an excellent substitution.
Without a doubt, the best burger and fries to be had anywhere around. My generously portioned, juicy, succulent burger was perfectly cooked to medium rare, and the choice of toppings (I ordered the Southern burger which sports a fried green tomato among other items) was really imaginative. The fries were out of this world. My wife had a terrific cob salad. Wide selection of beers (bottled and on tap), wines by the bottle or glass, and some interesting cocktail options. The decor is neither upscale nor low-end; just a comfortable, relaxing, friendly place to eat, drink and linger. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive. (Thanks, Rob!) We will definitely be back. Want to try those lamb burgers!
I can't believe someone actually would take the time to complain about something as pedestrian as a mimosa.
A great addition to the Mt. Pleasant dining scene. We stopped by for lunch and the Fried Green Tomato Napoleon, Southwestern Salad, and California Burger were all delicious and reasonably priced. Great cocktail and beer selection as well. Will definitely visit again and often!
Damn dude,get a life.Ate there sunday and the food,music and staff were dead on.Sounds like a hater w/a check he can't cash dot dot dot lol
Nice cozy small bar with amazing beer selection. The bartender was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend beers spot on. We had the lamb burgers for an app. They were great, cooked to perfect medium rare, with a great flavor. After that we ordered the Santa Fe Flat bread and the California Burger. Those too were excellent. I must say that the bread they use for their burgers is one of my favorite things. I will definitely be coming back soon for some more.
absolutely the place to be in summerville ........would drive from greenville for brunch
You all need to try their dinner and lunch specials. They are to die for. They have a new cheese, fruit and pate plate that is delicious. Their marmalade is also very good. They have a great wine selection to go along with the cheese plate. Try it you'll like it. They also have the best eat and peel shrimp anywhere.
Went to Montreux friday night. This place was rocking. Has to decide which band was better, the one in back or the one up front. I had the Montreux Wrap. It was owesome. Am going back tonight. That how much fun I had.
Whoever the Hater is, must need a life, boyfriend/girlfriend or goat!...Whatever makes you happy... The best thing that ever happened to Summerville in my opinion. A major supporter of the Summerville community. Amazing food and awsome nightlife. Get a life buddy!

Hi All,
Next Wednesday I'm going to be meeting my Aunt for lunch at the Nordstrom's in Novi (apparently the cafe there is delicious...who knew!). Beforehand I would like to find a coffeeshop to do some work in the morning. I could always try to find a Starbucks but I wanted to check here first to see if there was a better option. The musts: (free) wifi, good coffee, and bonus points for a comfy/cozy environment.
Would be good if it was about 15 minutes or less away from the Nordstroms.

This study demonstrates how high-resolution X-ray computed tomography can be used to determine the geometry of curved inclusion trails in garnet porphyroblasts. For the first time, the three-dimensional geometry of these features is shown as an animation, a stereo pair, a VRML model, and two-dimensional sections. The spatial resolution of the data in this study, approximately 10 μm, is high enough to resolve inclusions, and finer resolutions are possible. Comparisons of scan imagery with thin section and microprobe data demonstrate that many typical inclusion phases in garnet porphyroblasts can be clearly distinguished, including quartz, ilmenite, and monazite. A sodium metatungstate solution with a density of 1.19 g/cm3 was used for a wedge calibration during scanning, reducing artifacts to a minimum and allowing maximum image contrast. The overall conclusion of this study is that high-resolution X-ray computed tomography is a quick, non-destructive technique that is invaluable in the study of porphyroblast microstructure. The three-dimensional data generated by this technique can be compared with geometries predicted by the varying theoretical models for the formation of curved inclusion trails in garnet porphyroblasts. They can also be analyzed to determine the three-dimensional orientation of curvature axes in individual porphyroblasts, which has not been possible until now.

We occasionally feature writing from specialists in the mobile & custom software industry. Have a compelling point of view? Pitch us a story!
This is a guest post from digital marketing specialist Ankit Thakor.
What are consumers are always worried about when they think of shopping? First of all, is the quality is good or not? What about other common issues, like whether or not this will look good on me, if the color goes well with skin tone, is it a good match to my wall colors? Tons of questions arise in shoppers' minds when they seek out products.
To answer all such questions, consumers generally head over to brick-and-mortar stores instead of online shopping. After all, traditional shopping is the place where they can clear their doubts. But isn't it time consuming? Trying each and every thing, spending some good amount of time in checking the quality of products, etc. I call it the best way to waste a couple of hours. But this state will not last too long as augmented reality (AR) has arrived to save shoppers time.
As consumers have grown frustrated from wasting hours in checking out each and every thing, Augmented Reality is nothing less than a godsend for them, and for retailers as well. Do you know why?
As I said, consumers try everything to confirm whether the item is suitable for them or not, which generally consumes their hours. AR technology releases them from such issues as they can try everything virtually within a span of minutes.
TopShop, a clothes retailer for women and men, partnered with Microsoft Kinect to create a virtual fitting dressing room where customers are allowed to try everything virtually. The following video explains how it exactly works and how it can save shopping time.
Many customers don't have much idea of which fashion trend is made for them. They spend their whole day in malls to search out a suitable outfit. What if they got recommendations as soon as their feet touch the store's floor, so that they don't need to search out each thing separately? And those recommendations will be based on their own personality. Yes, AR can make things this much easier.
Shisedio, a personal care multinational company, developed an AR-based makeup mirror that takes an image of shoppers and recommends the most suitable makeup as per their skin type and color. Additionally, it recommends the latest cosmetics arrivals and which ones are good matches for the customer.
Not only brick-and-mortar stores, but online shops can also take advantage of AR. The IKEA AR Catalogue proves it very well. Furniture retailer IKEA launched an AR app enabling shoppers to visualise furniture in their homes, selecting ones that match with existing floors, walls, and decor.
58% of consumers would like to check out information first before they purchase a product in store. Things like ingredients lists, price, expiration dates, etc. are all important to consider during purchases.
To save time, consumers need a technology that can give them information on their mobile as soon as they put the device on the product. AR is the technology that can provide this much accessibility. IBM's app is proof.
More and more retailers are partnering with top mobile app development companies to develop AR technology that can save give their customers a more convenient shopping experience. Online shop owners are also on their way to create AR apps to enrich the experience of app users. The day is near when shopping will be done in minutes instead of hours.

This is a guest post by Sophorn Chhay of Trumpia, a mobile marketing automation company.
The mobile lifestyle is taking over. People are spending more time on their smartphones than they are on their desktop computers, and they're spending money as they're doing it. For businesses to get to the top of the heap – or stay there, as the case may be – they need to step up their mobile marketing strategy big time. Along with the reasons why it all matters, here are the 7 steps towards achieving mobile marketing success in 2016.
The first step to mobile marketing success is to be out there. Have a presence! You have to play to win. One example: while 64 percent of consumers reported making a purchase on their smartphones that was inspired by a mobile ad, a disheartening 74 percent of respondents from the same survey had never seen mobile ads touting their favorite brands. That 74 percent never had a chance to be enticed by the brands they already favored, and they never got to conveniently click on an ad and buy a product they may already have been thinking about for ages. Don't lose out before you even have a chance to succeed.
Optimizing your digital network for mobile use is a hot topic these days, and that optimization can take many forms. Having a search-engine friendly blog will improve your rankings, but after you attract the traffic you're after you need to make sure that the website they encounter will load and read appropriately on whatever device they use. There are a lot of ways to achieve optimization; the important thing is that you make the effort to try and that you deliver the product your consumers want to whichever device they're currently wanting it on.
17th-century English poet John Donne one said, "no man is an island," but rather a piece of a continent, a part of a larger whole, and your marketing strategy needs to be similarly integrated. To achieve success with any advertising campaign it needs to multi-faceted and well organized, and when you have a brick-and-mortar store that means making sure your in-store and mobile ads are in line with each other.
You know what's more fun than clipping coupons out of the Sunday paper? Well, pretty much anything, but, in particular, we're talking about the convenience consumers experience when they get coupons for the products they love delivered right to their phone. Shoppers have spoken, and 76 percent of moms and 64 percent of dads are saying that they are more likely to purchase a product using a deal coupon they get on their smartphone.
In a rundown of content marketing predictions for 2016, Jay Baer (President of Convince & Convert) said, "Whether it's Facebook Live, video on Twitter, Periscope, Blab, Instagram, Vine, or the old standby YouTube, 2016 will be the year when video becomes a primary content marketing consideration for all brands – even B2B." Video offers businesses another way to frame and deliver their message, and it gives visually motivated consumers another way to absorb messages and be inspired by them.
Mobile ads really do have an awful lot going for them, but as much as they're already inspiring sales they also have some drawbacks. When 72 percent of mobile users say they don't click on mobile ads simply because their phone's screen is too small, that's worrying. When 54 percent say they don't click on mobile ads that pop-up during smartphone use because they get frustrated that their mobile activity is being interrupted, that's something to take into consideration, too. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater and ditch mobile altogether, just diversify. It's worth it.
One of the most amazing things about mobile marketing is that you don't have to be hands-on to make it work. Mobile marketing automation allows your business to give consumers what they need when they need it instead of when you're around to take care of it. It's a win-win, and that's what the future of marketing is all about.

This is a guest post by Dave Bell, Co-Founder and CEO of Gummicube, a company specializing in app store optimization.
With the massive migration from the web to apps, even startups that are not "mobile-first" recognize the importance of having a mobile app for their business.
Not only is there more time spent in devices than on desktops, but the majority of that time is spent within apps. If publishing a mobile app is part of your startup strategy, then app store optimization (or ASO) will be an important part of your overall startup marketing plan.
One of the first validation points for many startups is confirming market demand and identifying cost-effective methods of acquiring users.
Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares' book Traction identifies 18 channels for testing and ultimately building traction, including "SEO, SEM, social media, content marketing, press and PR, affiliates, traditional business development and sales."
Developing a single channel for your business often requires testing and optimizing multiple channels, moving on from those that don't work and reinvesting in those that do. The payoff is that after performing tests and ruling out or optimizing a channel further, your business has created an asset - a proven and repeatable path to users and revenue.
For mobile apps, or startups where user experience and acquisition is aided by a mobile app, the most popular channel is the app store. That's where app store optimization comes in.
Many of the channels used for acquiring users for services and physical and digital products are also available to mobile apps. You may have seen ads for Game of War during the last Super Bowl, or ads for Candy Crush Saga on billboards. Almost everyone has seen an ad for a mobile app appear in their Facebook feed.
However, most mobile apps are not discovered and installed from TV ads, print ads, or even Facebook ads. The majority of app installs are a result of app store search.
So ask yourself: how can I test the app stores' organic search traffic as a viable channel for my mobile app?
App store search indexing, rankings, and results work much like other digital marketplaces. The two largest app stores are Apple's iTunes and Android's Google Play, and each has its own algorithms, app listing elements, and regulations.
Since the algorithms are private and there are so many variables with apps, no one can realistically claim they know the specific weight a component of the algorithm has on search rankings. The algorithms are also dynamic, changing over time.
Analysis of app store data has revealed some secrets of the search and ranking algorithms. Reviews and retention have an impact on where an app ranks, but a great app is not enough on its own. There is an increasing significance placed on conversion rates (from search result to install) and in-app usage metrics.
Much of app store optimization is the execution of a strategy for creating an app listing that:
Collecting app store data and working with clients over the last five years has taught us at Gummicube that the vast majority of app store searches are 2+ word phrases about features, such as "photo filters", "twitter videos", and "dog walking".
The very best way to tap into organic app store traffic that is relevant to your app, then, is to create an app listing that focuses on your app's best features.
Your app's best features can be defined as the most essential and differentiating features of your app relevant to your target audience.
Once you have identified the top 3 or 4 features, aim for coverage of the variations of how your target market may search for those features.
Working with app store intelligence software and/or a mobile app marketing agency can help you build an app listing that provides relevant phrase coverage. It is not unheard of for developers to see download increases of 100% (or even 775%), while adjusting the listing for suggested incremental improvements.
For mobile apps, it is the organic search traffic of the app stores themselves that represent the most cost-effective avenue for connecting to market demand. And app store optimization is how you tap into that organic traffic.

A guest post shared with us by Sara Carter of Mac Reviews
BlackBerry is getting a lot of negative press worldwide, especially since its share value plunged to a depth of $6.31 per share during the third quarter of 2012. It has since recovered to over $11 a share. Certainly, Yacktman Asset Management sees value in the 80 million BlackBerry users worldwide but does this mean mobile marketing teams can as well?
Why Use BlackBerry For Mobile Marketing
It is estimated that by 2014, smartphones will be readily available for less than $200 making them even more accessible than ever before. One potential issue faced by companies looking to use BlackBerry for mobile marketing is the fact that its US market share is now estimated to be at just 1.6%. Yet this still equates to millions of users and potentially millions of dollars of revenue just waiting to be gained.
Although there are fewer BlackBerry devices on the market, the amount of money spent by users far surpasses that of Android and iPhone users. They are more likely to have a high level of disposable income, which can be spent on downloading BlackBerry apps. By July 2012, more than 3 billon apps had been downloaded since the launch of BlackBerry App World.
Government employees in the United States in particular are given BlackBerries because of the platform's security credentials. Since these individuals are often high ranking employees, they have tremendous purchasing power and it could be a case of benefiting from a small yet lucrative market rather than relying on the general public. Best mobile marketing practice means finding customers in a specific niche, targeting them and catering to all their needs. By looking at BlackBerry users, you've found a readymade target market. All you have to do is find out what they need and give it to them.
Is BlackBerry Better Than Other Smartphones For Mobile Marketing?
The advantages of a BlackBerry over other smartphones are substantial: it is easier to type on the BlackBerry keyboard; it has instant messaging, is suitable for business use and has a long battery life. However, much of the advantage of having a good keyboard is negated by the small screen, and the BlackBerry has far fewer apps than its rivals. This is why iPhone and Android leave BlackBerry trailing in their respective wakes when it comes to market share.
If you are going to use BlackBerry for your marketing campaign and target BlackBerry users, your ability to sell must be first class. While BlackBerry users may have more disposable income than iPhone or Android users in general, there are far fewer of them. If you can sell a product or offer a service that will benefit wealthy professionals bereft of free time, mobile marketing via BlackBerry could be very lucrative.

The Paley's first release, "Pacific Street," received critical acclaim upon its initial release. But despite their best efforts (and a healthy financial push from their label, Virgin), the album stalled in the UK album charts and none of the singles charted.
"…From Across the Kitchen Table", band's second and final effort for Virgin is a rather difficult album to dissect. For starters, it shares very little in common with its predecessor. Andy Diagram's trumpet, which had been prominent on "Pacific Street", is only featured on a handful of cuts. And further more, there's a lot less orchestral work on this album. So while the group doesn't sound as "cabaret" (a tag which the group regularly dismissed) they ultimately they don't sound as distinct as they once did. In a sea of synthpop, post-punk, and hip-hop, the Paleys were proudly gauche.
Production wise, however, "From Across the Kitchen Table" is a much stronger than the group's early singles and debut album. Fellow Liverpudlian Ian Broudie is responsible for adding some much needed "oomph" in the band's sound. The guitars are lot more wiry and erratic, giving several tracks, such as "Stole the Love" and "Jean's Not Happening" a more confident "rock" dynamic. The drums are much more prominent in the mix and sound a lot punchier." The result is an album that sounds strong and confident, even when the lyrics are unfocused and the sequencing is questionable.(Broudie also managed to reign in Echo & The Bunnymen's inconsistencies on 1983's "Porcupines").
"From Across the Kitchen Table" was, at best, a transition album. We're really left to wonder "What this band could've done had they held it together?" Were they on their way to establishing their own eclectic brand of pop music? But thanks to drug abuse, disagreements with the label and a continuing lack of commercial success, the Pale Fountains eventually disbanded. Bassist Chris McCaffery died of a brain aneurysm in 1986 and brothers Mick and John Head went on to form Shack, and at one time were part of Arthur Lee's touring band.
"Jean's Not Happening"
"...From Across the Kitchen Table"
Postscript: In February of 2008, the Pale Fountains reunited for a series of well-received concerts in Liverpool and London.
