Building Offline Mobile Applications for
Windows CE: a Tutorial
This document describes how to build a Visual Basic application using the Oracle9i Lite ADOCE
interface for Pocket PC. It enables you to implement offline mobile applications for the Pocket PC using
Oracle9i Lite. It provides you with the complete framework to build, deploy, and manage offline mobile
applications. Oracle9i Lite supports various application models for the Pocket PC by supporting industry
standard interfaces such as ODBC, JDBC, and ADOCE. Topics include:
Section 2.1, "Overview"
Section 2.2, "Developing the Application"
Section 2.3, "Packaging and Publishing the Application"
Section 2.4, "Administering the Application"
Section 2.5, "Running the Application on Pocket PC"
2.1 Overview
This document guides you through the entire offline mobile application implementation process using a
sample Pocket PC application. The sample Pocket PC application enables you to create, deploy,
administer and use a Pocket PC Windows CE application.
The sample Pocket PC application is based on typical activities of delivery personnel in the
Transportation and Logistics industry. The day-to-day operations of such personnel involve package
pick-up and delivery. A delivery person collects the complete delivery package list and the package
delivery destination information for the day before he leaves the dispatch center on his Pocket PC. As
the truck driver also carries information related to package pick-up and delivery with him, the delivery
person can work offline and update the package pick-up and delivery status on his Pocket PC. Later, he
can synchronize his updated information with the central server running in the dispatch center over any
wireless network.
2.1.1 Before You Start
This tutorial assumes that the Mobile Server is installed on the same desktop that is used for Pocket PC
application development. Before starting the offline mobile application development process, you must
ensure that the development computer and the client device meet the requirements specified below.
18.104.22.168 Application Development Computer Requirements
You must configure and install the following components on the development computer.
Table 2-1 lists the configuration and installation requirements for the mobile application development
Table 2-1 Application Development Computer Requirements
188.8.131.52 Client Device Requirements
You must connect the client device to the desktop and install the Oracle9i Lite client for Pocket PC on
the device. For more information on how to install the Mobile Client on the device, see Section 2.5.1,
"Installing the Mobile Client for Pocket PC".
2.2 Developing the Application
This section enables you to develop and test the Pocket PC Transport application using the Mobile
Development Kit for Pocket PC. The Pocket PC Transport application is written in eMbedded Visual
To develop and test the Pocket PC Transport application, you must perform the following tasks:
1. Create Database Objects in Oracle Lite
2. Write the Application Code
3. Compile the Application
2.2.1 Creating Database Objects in Oracle Lite
The Pocket PC Transport application automatically creates database objects in the Oracle Server
Database. During deployment, the Mobile Server creates the Oracle9i Lite database in the client device
along with the requisite tables and data.

not available, enter the following command in the Command Prompt window:
> msql email@example.com> create user master identified by master
2. Enter the following commands to create database objects in the Oracle Database Server.
> cd <ORACLE_HOME>\mobile\sdk\wince\samples\tutorial\Transport> msql master/mas
2.2.2 Writing the Application Code
The Pocket PC Transport application's eMbedded VB code is readily available with the sample
application. The following section explains the code written for the Transport application and is
presented below.
220.127.116.11 Creating a New Project
Using eVT, you can create a new application project. From the "File" menu, choose " New Project". In
the "New Project" dialog box, select "Windows CE for the Pocket PC project". A new project is created
along with the default form. Users can drag and drop controls, and write code in the events of controls or
form. For more information, see eMbedded Visual Basic help.
Figure 2-1 displays the New Project Dialog box.
Figure 2-1 Create a New Project
ALERT_ADDRESS Mobile or Pager address to send alert to (Portal User Interface)
DRIVER_ID ID of the Truck Driver
While entering the above command to create database objects, you must provide a
mandatory space between "webtogo.world" and "@create_all.sql".
22.214.171.124 Opening an Existing Project
Using the eMbedded Visual Basic Integrated Development Environment (IDE), open the transport.ebp
project file. You can find this project file in the
<ORACLE_HOME>\mobile\sdk\wince\samples\tutorial\Transport directory. Alternatively, you can
double-click the "transport.ebp" to open the project, the associated User Interface and code in the
eMbedded VB IDE.
184.108.40.206 Connecting to Oracle Lite Using ADOCE
The ActiveX Data Objects is a programming interface which enables Visual Basic Applications to
access database functionality. It is an object oriented programming interface that is based on the COM
interface standard and provides functions to access the database engine. Oracle Lite ActiveX Data
Objects is a programming interface provided by Oracle Lite to access the Oracle Lite database in the
eMbedded Visual Basic programming environment.
The Oracle Lite ActiveX Data Objects for Windows CE control contains the following three objects:
Using the "CreateObject" statement, you must create a Connection object and activate a connection
based on the DSN entry. It is available in the "ODBC.txt" file under the "\ORACE" directory of the
device. If the user creates a new Recordset object and the connection is still not opened, the default
"polite" DSN is called and the Recordset is automatically connected to the default "polite.odb" database.
Using the "CreateObject" statement, you must create a new Recordset object. Execute a SQL statement
to return records from a table by opening the recordset. You can accomplish this by specifying the table
name in the "Open" statement of the recordset.
You must not create Field objects directly because they exist only in the context of an existing recordset.
The Fields collection contains a Field object for each column in the Recordset. You can refer to a
particular field by name or by index. The Fields collection supports the Count property.
The following code example shows how to use the Fields collection to get all the field names for
"MyTable" table.
Dim rs, n
Set rs = CreateObject(oladoce.recordset)
rs.open "MyTable", dbconn
for n = 0 to rs.Fields.Count -1
Msgbox rs.Fields(n).Name

Reviews of BlackWolf Turbo Lite Mesh Side Panel
(5.0) based on 1 reviews.
BlackWolf Turbo Lite Mesh Side Panel(5) By: Kay on 7 January 2018When I bought this product it hadn't occurred to me that the there would be no flap outside to unroll and cover the mesh in bad weather. (Picture shows inside only and it's commonsense 101 you need to keep things dry.) Well there is no flap. I really can't see the point in what is essentially a panel that people can see through, sun can get through, rain can get through and mosquitoes can get underneath. Two alternatives - no panel at all - or upgrade to the deluxe side panel with a sophisticated flap and an extra piece at the bottom which would enable mosquito proofing. I did the latter and can recommend it as fit for purpose. This one? I'm not sure what purpose it serves for the ordinary camper.
Tentworld ResponseThanks for your review! The purpose of this one is for maintaining as much ventilation as possible, but to help add another barrier for insects. Say in areas with lots of mosquitos but where it's hot. However, I agree, I think the deluxe side panel is probably the better way to go for most campers. Gives more flexibility. Kind Regards & Happy Camping ~ Tentworld team.

Centre Cherishing Day
Centre Cherishing Day (CCD) is a time-old tradition in Kadampa Centers around the world which is held once a month. On this day members of the centre are given the opportunity to do volunteer work to benefit people coming to the classes or attending the pujas. No skill or experience is necessary as there are variety of work to be done such as cleaning the center's office, meditation area, library, etc.; organising center's supplies, decoration items, furniture; washing offering bowls. Volunteers don't need to come for the entire duration of the cleaning. For those who are not in a position to do manual work, they can bring refreshments.
CCD is also a good time to meet the other members of the centre outside of the classes and pujas.
MKBC will now start its own CCD starting on October 21, Sunday from 2 to 4pm. Refreshments are provided. Everybody welcome.

The legal battle between Qualcomm and Apple is far from over. But some of the first key rulings are coming in. So far, it's a mixed bag.
Driving the news: Last week, a judge issued a preliminary ruling that Qualcomm owes Apple $1 billion in royalty payment rebates. However, that ruling is part of a broader case that has yet to go to trial. Furthermore, Apple's contract manufacturers have already been withholding money that covers the amount in dispute.

One of the most impressive and exciting parts of marketing automation is that there are nearly as many uses for it as a smart marketer can imagine. When it comes to technology in the marketing world, it's starting to feel like our only limits are our tools and our imaginations. That's why it's essential to know how most marketing automation platforms are being used, as well as how they can potentially be used. Once we create a baseline of knowledge there, we can put those possibilities to use in our own marketing.
In this chapter of Marketing Automation School, we'll dive into the most common features shared by almost all marketing automation solutions. We'll paint the clearest possible picture of the purposes marketing automation can serve in a business setting. Once complete, you should know exactly what you can do with marketing automation software to take your business to the next level.
Are you ready to see how marketing automation is being used in the 21st century, and the multitude of ways you can use it to take your business to the next level?
Then let's get started.
Capturing Leads
While not necessarily the primary purpose or use of a marketing automation platform, capturing a lead is often the first step of marketing to someone. Good marketing requires a solid relationship between you and your prospects.
And since any relationship requires two parties, that means you need to acquire that second party to really begin taking advantage of everything marketing automation has to offer.
That's why many businesses use their marketing automation platforms to capture leads.
More often than not, that means collecting email addresses of people who are interested in you and your business.
Of course there's a wide variety of places you can, and almost certainly already do, generate leads from—but any marketing automation solution worth its salt should integrate with, or actively provide you, as many in-roads to your marketing automation database as possible.
Some marketing automation platforms provide these types of lead capture features natively, while others may require connecting with an adjacent service or software. Regardless, most platforms attempt to be as helpful as possible in this process in order to help make your actual automation more successful.
5 Lead Capture Features with Marketing Automation
When considering a new (or taking stock of your existing) marketing automation platform, look for one or some of the following five lead capture opportunities. Below, you'll find answers to what each of these things are, and how they work.
- Download Forms - When a visitor to your website wants to download a piece of content, they can simply enter their contact information (as many fields as you decide) and automatically be sent or provided the requested downloadable piece of content. In most digital marketing circles, this is known as "gating" your resources, as a download form is an information gate for the content itself.
- Blog Subscriptions - A similar form can be used when it comes to converting visitors to your blog into leads or prospects. Triggered pop up forms, or embedded sidebar or hero forms can change a passing visit into a lifetime customer. Once you gain a prospect's email address off your blog, you'll be able to send out weekly digests of your blog content, automatically drip out your most popular content pieces, or encourage leads to take the next step with your business—whatever that may be for you.
- Webinar Attendees - Does your marketing automation platform integrate with your webinar software? You can save your business a massive amount of time by capturing leads from webinar registrants or attendees, and working them into your marketing automation workflows of your personal design. Capturing leads from webinars allows you send replays, follow-up sequences, and more.
- Landing Pages - Landing pages are a critical lead source for any business that's looking to grow. With a concentrated call-to-action, exact instructions for what a user should do once they arrive, and an enticing offer, landing pages are a perfect way to convert a visitors into leads. When assessing your existing marketing automation software, or searching for a new one, make sure it either allows you to create landing pages in the software itself, or integrates with a world class landing page software like Leadpages.
- Pop Up Forms - Interruptive lead capture forms, more commonly known as pop-ups, can be an extremely effective way to add leads to your marketing automation campaigns and workflows. Whether they deploy on a click, after a certain amount of time, or when a visitor is about to leave your page, you should again find a tool that either provides these forms or integrates seamlessly with the lead capture service of your choice.
Email Marketing Campaigns
Once you've got a lead in your hands, the next step is to begin a conversation with that person. One of the most common and core uses of marketing automation software is the sending of email marketing campaigns. Email marketing is the most common way businesses communicate with people once they've entered their marketing sphere.
Using email marketing, you'll be able to schedule and trigger different messages based on a wide variety of actions and behaviors that your leads and prospects take. You can send messages based on whether or not a person has clicked a certain link, visited a certain page on your website, subscribed through a specific form or landing page, and many more ways.
5 Types of Email Marketing Campaigns
To give you a fast idea of how businesses are using email marketing in their day-to-day functions, here's a fast rundown of five different types of email marketing campaigns that marketing automation software can be used to send. Many of these campaign types are things we use at Drip ECRM every single day.
Subscription Trial Campaign - A subscription trial campaign is a short sequence of emails that follows up with a trial user of your subscription service (whether that be a SaaS, a membership website, an educational resource, etc). This sequence is a quick way to get follow-up in place that can later be expanded with even more educational content.
For example, if your business is a SaaS (Software as a Service) company, and someone subscribes to a trial of your software, you can set up an automated email marketing campaign that trickles out over time. You can request feedback on your product, highlight key and important features, offer discounts for converting to a paid member, and more.
Want to see how it works? Just click this link to start a trial of Drip. You'll see our subscription trial campaign in your inbox over the coming days, as well as have access to the newest and best marketing automation tool on the market.
On a scale of 1 to 5, how happy are you with your current marketing automation software?
Cart Abandonment Campaign - One of the most valuable email marketing campaigns you can create with a marketing automation platform is a cart abandonment campaign. By tracking your website visitors, you can know when someone has made a move in the direction of a purchase, without actually completing the purchase in full.
For example, if you have an ecommerce store that sells candles, and a visitor adds two candles to their online shopping cart, but leaves your website before making a purchase, a cart abandonment campaign can convert them into an actual customer.
These campaigns often feature a series of emails reminding a visitor of the products they left behind, encouraging them to act quickly, and potentially offer a discount or coupon for fully completing their abandoned purchase.
Welcome Campaign - A welcome campaign is very much what its name implies. Are you familiar with the saying: "You only get one shot at a first impression!"? This is why a welcome campaign is both so valuable and so important.
It's your only shot to make a good first impression with your new subscriber, connect with that person, and stand out in both their mind and their inbox. It's safe to say that a welcome campaign is one of the most important kinds of campaigns you can have in your marketing automation arsenal.
For example, a welcome campaign can do many things like introducing you and your business to your new subscriber, it can set expectations for what they'll receive now that they're on your list, it can restate the benefits of being a subscriber, and it can drive both engagement and attention.
Mini Course Campaign - A mini course is an educational resource sent out piece by piece over a predetermined period of time to a new subscriber. Often, mini courses are designed to position your business as an authority in your space, by offering free assistance and information to your prospects or leads.
For example Drip, as you may know, is a marketing automation software. We want visitors to our website to be able to learn more about marketing automation and the evolution of email marketing into marketing automation software. In order to do this, we offer a free mini course on this topic that comes directly from our co-founder Rob Walling.
Follow Up Campaign - A follow up campaign is also exactly what the name implies: a sequence of emails sent after an occurrence you determine, in order to follow up with a lead or prospect. Most often, this type of sequence is sent to a lead or prospect after they've taken a specific action with your business.
For instance, if someone downloads an ebook from your resources section, a follow up campaign could be a series of emails over the coming weeks that highlights important takeaways from the book, asks for feedback or if they have questions, and possibly recommends a commensurate product or service towards the end of the campaign, in order to convert that lead into a customer.
Want to see how it works? Visit the marketing resources section at Leadpages, and download any of the valuable content pieces you find there. You'll see the resource delivered to your inbox immediately, as well as a follow up campaign coming to your inbox over the coming weeks.
These are just a small handful of the various email marketing campaigns you can deploy and use on autopilot with a quality marketing automation tool. Many more can be created custom for your exact business and the needs of your marketing, for whatever purposes are important to you.
Nurturing Leads
Marketing automation users also often depend on their software to assist them in the process of nurturing leads. Lead nurturing can look extremely different from company to company, based on the product, service, price point, sales methodology and more.
Regardless of the specific mile markers in the process, marketing automation is an essential tool for many businesses when it comes to nurturing their leads. Regular communications, invitations, and interactions all contribute to warming your leads up over time to help them become more ready for a purchase.
4 Lead Nurturing Techniques with Marketing Automation
In order to clarify the uses and capabilities of most marketing automation software, especially as it relates to nurturing leads, here are four basic techniques that can be achieved using most marketing automation platforms.
- Webinar Invitations - After one of your leads takes a certain number of actions on your website, or downloads a certain number of pieces of content from you on a specific topic, you can send an automated invitation to them, requesting they join a webinar on a topic or product of your choosing.
- Content Marketing - Similar to the follow-up campaigns mentioned above, marketing automation will be essential to your your content marketing efforts. It can help you schedule and drip resources out to your leads to help nurture them to the point of making a purchase, based on the traits you have or have not identified about them. You can send them content related to their interests, readiness to buy, actions they've taken on your website, and more.
Why does your business use marketing automation?
- Custom Website Content - One of the best ways to engage in lead nurturing is by personalizing as many interactions as you can with your prospects. Using a combination of tracking and a dynamic code language known as Liquid, Drip allows you to nurture leads by displaying actual website content that's tailored to what you know about them. For example, if your business serves a multitude of different niches, and you've identified which prospects are from which niche, you can display custom, dynamic website content that's just for then. This level of personalization is truly the next generation of lead nurturing with marketing automation.
- Appointment Scheduling - As with webinar invitations, you can send automated invites your leads to schedule an appointment with your business. Whether it be a phone call, an in-person consultation, or an actual service appointment, you can nurture leads by automatically asking them to engage with you at just the right moment.
Again these are just a miniscule handful of the different lead nurturing techniques and strategies that marketing automation allows you to put into place. Now that you're familiar with some of the tactics that make lead nurturing such a popular use for marketing automation, you can begin to strategize and imagine the ways it could be implemented to nurture leads in your own business.
In the first chapter of Marketing Automation School, we answered the question, "What is marketing automation?" One of the more prevalent themes in our first chapter was the use of "If, then…" logic, and the importance of asking oneself, "If this happens, then what happens?"
Workflows are where your company's "If, then…" logic will manifest most readily—and they're one of the most popular uses for marketing automation software today. In most marketing automation tools, workflows are a series of triggers, events or actions, and outcomes, that create an automated journey for your prospects and customers, depending on their behavior.
Most marketing automation platforms worth their salt will have a workflow editor with a visual component to it, which dramatically increases the usability—especially when it comes to more complex and extensive workflows.
If you've never created a marketing automation workflow before, your first ones will no doubt be relatively simple. But over time, you'll more than likely see an increase in the complexity of your workflows as well as the variety of purposes your workflows will serve.
5 Common Types of Marketing Automation Workflows
We'll get more in-depth when it comes to marketing automation examples later in this course, but in order to help you both understand what workflows can look like and the purposes they serve, we've assembled a shortlist of five common types of marketing automation workflows below.
Lead Conversion - Once you have a prospect's email address, what does a conversion look like to you? It could be a wide variety of things—from scheduling a demo, to joining a webinar, to downloading an ebook, or making a purchase.
General lead conversion is one of the most common types of marketing automation workflows, and it often involves a series of targeted communications that push a lead towards taking the next step in your marketing funnel.
Post-Purchase Follow-Up - While many marketers view the making of a purchase as the end-goal in a marketing journey, that's not always the case. In fact, after a purchase is made, the process of maintaining a customer and creating a repeat customer is just beginning.
Post-purchase follow-up workflows can request customer feedback on the purchase they just made, encourage full utilization and adoption of the product, ask for reviews or referrals, offer loyalty coupons for future purchases, and more.
Demo or Consultation Intake - When a prospect or lead has seen or attended a demo or received an initial consultation - what happens next in your marketing funnel? Do they receive an invitation to your next best practices webinar? Are they sent a progressive email marketing campaign? What if they visit your pricing page twice in one week, after receiving that demo or consultation?
These are all behaviors than can be either accomplished or addressed with marketing automation workflows. As a demo or consultation is such an important step in most marketing funnels, many marketers use automated workflows to communicate and react to a variety of prospect behaviors in order to hopefully close the sale.
SaaS Trial Onboarding - Marketers in the SaaS world know how important the first 30 days of a customer's experience with your product can be. This is especially the case when looking to convert a new customer from a trial user to a paid user. Marketing automation workflows are an essential element of onboarding SaaS trials because of the wide variety of 1-to-1 automations that can be implemented.
Using marketing automation workflows, you can send communications that highlight important features of your software, encourage users to check out features they haven't yet taken advantage of yet, encourage them to convert to a paid plan, and much more.
Ecommerce Coupon Fulfillment - When you offer a coupon to a potential buyer, you do so with the desire that they actually take advantage of that coupon. Encouraging them to finally take that step and make their first purchase is made much easier using automated workflows.
You can see which pages your prospects are viewing, which products are of highest interest to them, send them a series of communications that encourage their purchase, and progressively increase their coupon value if necessary, until a purchase is made.
Marketing Analytics
It takes measurement to know whether or not your marketing efforts are successful. That's why another one of the most common uses for marketing automation is the analytics your platform can provide. Since these types of software platforms can quickly become central to your sales and marketing efforts, the analytics they can provide are not only helpful—they're essential.
3 Must-Have Marketing Automation Analytics
Depending on your particular business and the strategies you implement, you might look to and rely on your marketing automation software to provide you with different types of analytics. Regardless of your specific needs, however, there are a few analytics that your marketing automation platform simply can't without. Below, we've outlined a few of those essential pieces of data you should look for.
Conversion Metrics - Conversion metrics essentially mean - of the number of people who've arrived at this point in my workflow, how many people are taking that next step? When you have answers to which steps in your workflow are converting well (or not-so-well) you know where you can improve and strategize based on that data.
Split-Testing Metrics - Marketing automation can be complex. With so many varied outcomes, it's important to test what you're doing. In the same way that conversion metrics can tell you where to focus your attention, split-testing your communications and landing pages will refine your marketing workflows over time.
Email Metrics - Since email marketing is such an integral cog in the marketing automation machine, it's essential to have comprehensive email metrics that allow you to measure the effectiveness of your communications and the health of your list. Are your emails getting opened? Clicked on? Are people responding the way you intend? Having answers to these questions will create a solid base of knowledge for you to improve your communications.
Tagging and Segmentation
One of the most important features of any marketing automation platform is the ability to tag and segment the leads you generate. Features like tagging and segmentation allow you to progressively gain more knowledge about your leads, prospects, and customers—and over time, these details will allow you to speak directly to a very specific audience.
Traditional email marketing platforms generally only allow you to have contacts related to one list—or that person can appear on many different lists—but the lists themselves are separate and different. This means that a contact appears multiple different times inside of your email marketing platform, as they relate to different lists contained there.
Since email marketing platforms are usually priced based on the number of contacts you have, this means many businesses end up paying significantly more money when a single contact's email addresses appears in their account multiple different times, as they relate to multiple different lists.
With marketing automation platforms, tagging and segmentation allow you to have one comprehensive list of contacts, and each individual contact can exhibit many traits and attributes using tags. This is why so many people choose marketing automation over email marketing. Because they can use it for granular identification tagging, and then they can segment based on those tags in order to communicate in more specific and effective ways.
When segmentation is not limited by a static list, but can rather be created on-the-fly, tailored to the exact group of people you need to talk to for a specific campaign, your messages can be much more targeted and yield higher conversions.
Lead Scoring
Another popular feature of many marketing automation platforms is lead scoring. As you interact with your prospects over time, whether that be through landing page visits, website visits, content downloads, or emails received, opened, and clicked—you begin to see broader picture of what one individual contact looks like.
How do they interact with you? Are they only visiting your blog on a regular basis? Do they open and click on most of the emails you send? Have they visited your pricing page in the past but never actually made a purchase from you? Each of these factors can contribute to the score they receive as a lead. Not all prospects are qualified to buy what you're selling and not all are actively engaged in what you have to say, and lead scoring allows you to separate low-value prospects from high-value ones.
Lead scoring is particularly useful when dealing with long sales cycles, where a lead might take many actions over a long period of time before they are convinced to buy. Lead scoring is an effective way to pinpoint people who have a high likelihood of converting, and can help you focus your personalized sales efforts only on the people who are qualified and likely to purchase.
What is lead scoring?
The methodology changes from platform to platform, but the purpose remains: lead scoring is designed to algorithmically communicate to you how ready a prospect is to make a purchase. A score (usually between 1 to 100, or sometimes 1 to 10) is applied to contacts in your database that rates how warm or cold they are.
Most often, you as the user or platform administrator are able to decide what the threshold is for a user to be designated warm or cold. These scores are based on interactions that are trackable from within your marketing automation solution.
When you start lead scoring your prospects, you can use their lead scores to trigger automated follow up sequences for highly-qualified leads, or to send only your best leads to your sales team.
You can even set up an automation to notify you when a prospect reaches a certain lead score, so you can follow up personally.
In Conclusion
This list is by no means exhaustive. Again, using the above features and uses of marketing automation, with some additional imagination, you can continue to uncover a variety of further tactics, strategies, and purposes that can make marketing automation an even better fit in your own business. In fact, as you've read through this chapter, you've more than likely been doing some imagining of your own on which uses can help you better accomplish your goals.
Maybe you've got a new idea for your own business, with some insight into how tagging and segmentation could help you have more specific successes. Maybe you're aware of a gap in your current marketing automation platform, that has you considering if maybe you'd be better off with another solution that has more user-friendly automation workflows. Or maybe - just maybe - you've been using an email marketing platform that isn't capable of at least half of the things we've mentioned above, and you're looking for something bigger and better.
Whatever boat you're in, we now have a refined definition and understanding of what exactly marketing automation is, as well as full breakdown of many popular features, uses, and things that can be accomplished with marketing automation.
Next up, in Chapter 3 of Marketing Automation School, we take you inside the world of marketing automation software. We'll cover what to look for in a tool when selecting your very own, as well as give a brief summary of some of the most notable companies in the market. We'll also cover the different types of marketing automation software available in order to help you understand more ways to automate your marketing processes and dramatically grow your business.
We'll see you in the next chapter!

Home Bar Marbella Christmas Party in Aid of Cudeca
Home Bar Marbella Christmas Party in Aid of Cudeca
Regulars at a Marbella watering hole, The Home Bar, swapped the bar for a paddle tennis court to help raise 3,500 euros for Cudeca.
Over the last year dozens of players have been competing against each other every Sunday, come rain or shine at the Paco de Cantos sports facility in the centre of Marbella
The regulars, who all drink at Home Bar, just behind the lighthouse in Marbella, all paid a weekly subscription which was donated to the charity last Friday night (December 21st) during a Christmas party.
Around 60 people attended the event, which was organised by the bar's ex pat owners Gerry and Rosie McGovern and saw hundreds raised from raffle tickets during the night.
Three Trophies were presented at the end of the evening, the Richard Murphy Trophy went to Enda Mahony for Most Improved Player, The Paul Doyle Trophy went to Robert van Kessel for the Best Player, and as token for his hard work selling an amazing amount of raffle tickets, Leonard from CDS Dental Clinic was awarded a crystal trophy for his waiting room[ims-gallery id=IaIIXr5zpxFw layout=slideshow number=all linkto=file]

A Black Kite flies high near Panjrapole at Anushaktinagar during today's birding session. I am really lucky to have shot these magnificent birds right from my bedroom window. I spent around a hour at the comfort of my bedroom window shooting these birds soar high and occasionally diving down.
Bird Photography doesn't mean always making a trip to a natural park or somewhere real far to get the most exclusive of birds. One can try and polish their skills of bird photography by first understanding the behaviour of the birds that in close access to your neighborhood and then shooting them accordingly and sometimes you end up making amazing images in the process too

My kids love bananas… until they see little spots! Then that's it, they won't touch them, until….I make them into muffins!
These are my all-time favorite muffins. They usually get made when I have bananas like these ☝🏻laying around!
They are super dense, high in protein, low in carbs, and gluten free! I serve them for brinner (breakfast = dinner) with a side of eggs. My kids gobble them up! I love them because they taste delicious and are super healthy! Plus whatever's leftover makes for an easy breakfast the next day.
If your like me I love to get 2-3 meals out of one cooking session. I make a big batch and freeze half for another meal. This recipe yields 24 large muffins.
6 overly ripe bananas
3 cups of almond, cashew or your fav peanut butter
1/3 c sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Himalayan pink salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 cups old fashion oats
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
preheat oven to 375° use 24 muffin tins spray them with baking spray, or coat with oil.
Start by mashing the bananas, then add the almond butter make into a creamy paste. Add the next seven ingredients till well blended. Evenly distribute the batter into each muffin cup. Add a few chocolate chips to the top of each muffin.
Bake for 16 minutes
TIP: you can use any type of nut butter you like. I've tried this recipe with almond, nutzo, cashew… etc! In my house everyone likes a different kind so I always have lots of different containers laying around. It's a great way to get rid of the part no one want to eat!

Unless, you've had your head in the sand, you know that the World Cup is coming up. To us American Girls, this may not mean much besides a bunch of Brits around us going gaga, as usual, over soccer. Now, don't tell my husband, but I find the whole back and forth for over an hour, sometimes without one measly goal being scored, a tad uninspiring, but all that changes when World Cup comes around.
This year, as luck would have it, the USA plays England for their opening matches! So get together with your favorite ex-pats and local friends, book a table at your pub and be prepared for a rowdy afternoon. Although we may not stand much of a chance next to all the powerhouse football nations- it's actually pretty fun to watch.
If you can't focus on the game, at least take time to appreciate the outrageous outfits and four inch Loubitons that the WAGS (that's Wives and Girlfriends if you haven't been here long) will undoubtedly show up in. Oh yeah, and some of the footballers aren't too shabby looking either.
USA plays England on June 12. American Girl recommends the Cross Keys pub, our favorite. Tell us where you'll be watching the game!
The Cross Keys Pub, Lawrence Street SW3

You shall have a designated area outside the camp to which you shall go. With your utensils you shall have a trowel; when you relieve yourself outside, you shall dig a hole with it and then cover up your excrement. Because the Lord your God travels along with your camp, to save you and to hand over your enemies to you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you (Deuteronomy 23:12-14, New Revised Standard Version).
I admit, it is a strange passage, but I am not the one to put it into my brain. Last week, while driving back to Sweeny from Lakeview Methodist Conference CenterI was listening to a book titled, Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn't Say by Rev. Adam Hamilton and it has been bouncing around in my head ever since. I believe Hamilton brought this verse up during chapter 4, "God Said, I Believe It, That Settles It."
Because I have read the Bible all the way through, I know I have read this passage at least a few times but honestly, I don't remember it. It left no impression on me at all. I read it and moved on and nothing about it stuck with me, until I was driving home last Thursday. Hearing what Hamilton wrote, I have thought and rethought these three verses several times.
In the book, Hamilton said, "You most likely have never heard a sermon on this passage (I am paraphrasing here). I would say, he was right. Not only do I not believe I ever heard a sermon on this passage, I am positive I have never written or preached one.
Hamilton went on to say it easily could have been very different in the mid to late 19th century. Indoor plumbing was coming into its own. Homes were starting to get this convenience and many people thought the churches should get the convenience as well. After all, during New England winters or Texas summers, going to the outhouse was probably pretty brutal. Hamilton explained that this passage was often used by pastors as justification for not installing indoor plumbing. It is said the preachers would say the passage was proof that God didn't want indoor plumbing in churches, that God intended everyone to go outside. After all, they were to "…designate an area OUTSIDE the camp…" I can't help but think this might have carried a literal reading of the scriptures a bit too far. I, for one, am thankful for indoor plumbing.
Hamilton's use of this passage did get me to thinking. I have thought a great deal about it since hearing that chapter. For a while I was thinking that perhaps I was supposed to preach a sermon on the passage, but I decided against it. I really don't want to explain excrement to young ears that might be present. The more I thought about it the more I thought, a blog post might be the better way to go. At least to me, it just made more sense.
No, I am not going to write about burying something in a whole in the ground. I am not going to write about going outside the camp to take care of things. No, my thoughts haven't been about anything quite so literal.
Here is the thing, the passage talks about going outside the camp because God lived and moved in the camp, making the camp holy. So, I got to thinking about where God lives today. Where is that holy place today. Some might make the argument that God lives in the Church. And, at least to a degree that would be true. After all, God is omnipresent so God is everywhere, including our churches (Lord I pray that is true).
I think our comparison would need to be something closer to home. I can't help but think of Revelation 3:20, "Look! I'm standing at the door and knocking. If any hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to be with them, and will have dinner with them, and they will have dinner with me (Common English Bible)." God's home, God's residence is within us.
So, what is within our "camp," within us that God would call indecent? Remember, the passage says, "…your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you…"
I started compiling a list in my head. On that list would have to be "sexual immorality, moral corruption, doing whatever feels good, idolatry, drug use and casting spells, hate, fighting, obsession, losing your temper, competitive opposition, conflict, selfishness, group rivalry, jealousy, drunkenness, partying, and other things like that. I warn you as I have already warned you, that those who do these kinds of things won't inherit God's kingdom." OK, I know, it really isn't my list, its Paul's. Paul wrote these words in Galatians 5:19-21 (Common English Bible). And, I seriously doubt it is an all-inclusive list.
These are things all of us need to put behind us. We need to bury these things in the past and move forward with God dwelling inside us. And, if we bury them in the past and leave them there, God won't see "…anything indecent among [us]" or I would submit, within us. Without all that mess in our lives we will be living holy and keeping our camp holy.
Sometimes I think God can and does use the unusual to speak to us, even a Scripture passage about literal stuff we need to leave behind so we might leave some of the things behind that block the Spirit within us from leading us in the holy direction God wants us to go.
So, take your trowel, did a hole, and leave the junk behind in favor of a stronger, better relationship with God.
I pray you have a blessed day with the Lord.
Grace and Peace,

Let's get something straight
INVISALIGN straightens your teeth without the use of wires or brackets by using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called Aligners. They are virtually undetectable whereby no one will really know you are in the process of straightening your teeth. Since the Aligners are removable, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment and brushing and flossing are a breeze.
Metal Braces
You've heard all the rumors about braces and maybe you're a little nervous. But don't worry, wearing braces is simply part of the path to getting you the smile you deserve. That path is even smoother when you're wearing Master Series, one of the world's most popular brands of braces.
With Master Series braces, you'll be proud to smile both during and after your treatment! That's because Master Series braces helps me straighten your teeth quickly and in the best way possible.
Their unique design means a smaller, more comfortable bracket. With the wide range of color choices for the little bands holding your wire in places, means you can even have a little fun and show off your braces with pride. So go ahead and Smile!
Ties and Expanders
Colored Ties (a.k.a. Ligatures) not only play an important role in helping the braces ensure your teeth are properly aligned but also let you add your own personality flair. So choose your favorite color, or mix and match!
Palatal expansion is a combination of tooth movement and jaw expansion. It works by widening the two halves of the upper jaw, called the Palate. the two halves are joined together by a 'suture' in the middle of the roof of the mouth. I will make a custom expander for each individual patient. An expander can be fixed or removable. The expander is attached to the upper back teeth and eases the suture apart which makes the upper jaw wider. As the jaw expands, new bone fills in between the two halves of the palate. Expansion can take a few weeks to a few months, depending on the amount of expansion required for each individual patient.
What is a Habit Appliance? A Habit Appliance is used to break a habit, such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting that can cause improper growth of the mouth and misalignment of the teeth. These appliances are custom made for each patient and length of wear depends upon how quickly the habit is diminished.
Ceramic Braces
You need a treatment option that will straighten your teeth quickly and effectively, provide a beautiful appearance during treatment and address your specific orthodontic needs - and you're no alone. One in five people seeing orthodontics are adults, many needing a true aesthetic solution.
I use Radiance Plus, a clear orthodontic solution that allows you to confidently live your life while your teeth are being straightened. These exceptionally clear braces are appropriate for nearly every type of orthodontic need and work continuously throughout your treatment. Whether you're at work or at play, these ceramic braces deliver your ideal smile with no interruption to your treatment or active lifestyle.
These braces by Radiance Plus are proven to be the clearest of all ceramic braces. They are made from pure grown sapphire, providing an exceptionally clear appearance. The body of the braces also resists stains so they will stay brilliant throughout your treatment.
They are also designed to help straighten your teeth quickly and effectively without sacrificing your comfort. A heat polishing process helps give its smooth surface and the braces are constructed to be as thick and durable as possible. The smooth, contoured design also makes them easier to clean, helping maintain proper hygiene.
These braces are as strong as they are beautiful. The pure grown sapphire used for the bracket body is one of the hardest materials in nature, second only to diamonds. They are designed to be as robust as possible while still keeping your comfort in mind. Once on your teeth, the patented Quad-Matte base keeps them on with unparalleled strength.
Retainers are used to hold your teeth in their new, correct positions after your teeth have been straightened. They can be removable or fixed. Wearing your retainers is extremely important to prevent your teeth from shifting after your braces treatment.
Retainer Instructions: The purpose of retainers is to hold teeth in their corrected position. Retainers are placed once braces are removed to stabilize the teeth as the bone builds up around them. Since retainers are removable, their use and care is entirely dependent on you. We will recommend a retainer type based on your bite. There are some colorful retainer options if you're feeling adventurous.
Wear your retainers full-time (24 hours per day). You may remove your retainers while eating and brushing but you must replace them as soon as you are finished. When the retainer is not in your mouth, it should be in the case you will be given. The most common way to lose a retainer is by putting it in a napkin at school or a restaurant. To avoid this, always place the retainer in a plastic case when it's out of the mouth.
After the braces are removed, most patients will wear the retainers full-time for three months and then at night as directed. You will be given specific instructions regarding how much the retainers need to be worn.
What to expect: Initially, your retainers may feel bulky and affect your speech somewhat. In a few days, once the tongue adapts, speech will return to normal. The day after you receive your retainers, your teeth may feel a bit sore. This will resolve quickly with continuous wear.
Cleaning retainers: Your retainers should be cleaned after each meal and before going to bed. Keep retainers clean by using your toothbrush and toothpaste. Never use hot water on the retainers as this may distort the shape of the retainer.
IMPORTANT: If you do not wear your retainers as instructed, your teeth WILL MOVE. If you miss a night, wear your retainer full time. Make sure your retainer is completely in, this may cause your teeth to be sore but they should realign. If they don't, or if your retainer is lost or broken, please call us immediately. ALWAYS bring your retainers to your appointments so that we can check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
Your final result of a beautiful smile will depend on your retainers so follow through with the hard work you've put in so far!

The NSL was immensely popular since it's inception following Australia's qualification into the 1974 World Cup, however during the turn of the century several factors - including a lack of sponsorship deals, poor ratings and players heading overseas - led to its demise and the formation of a new national competition - the A-League.Eight founding teams were a part of the first A-League season, including Adelaide United, Central Coast Mariners, Melbourne Victory, Newcastle Jets, New Zealand Knights, Perth Glory, Queensland Roar and Sydney FC. Only three NSL sides made the transition to the A-League - Adelaide United, Newcastle Jets and Perth Glory, while the Queensland Roar and New Zealand Knights were formed from previous NSL clubs Brisbane Lions and New Zealand Football Kingz.Since it's inaugural season in 2005/06, the A-League has continued to soar in popularity, with the Hyundai Motor Company sponsoring the competition throughout it's current 11-year history. During the 2007/08 season Wellington Phoenix replaced the New Zealand Knights, while Gold Coast United and North Queensland Fury were introduced in an expanded 2009/10 competition, however due to financial instability, they were both removed in the 2011 and 2012 seasons respectively. Melbourne Heart were awarded an A-League license and joined the competition in the 2010-11 season, They've since been taken over by the City Football Group and were rebranded as Melbourne City ahead of the 2014-15 season. Western Sydney Wanderers also joined the A-League in the 2012/13 season and they enjoyed incredible immediate success, becoming the first Australian side to win the Asian Champions League in 2014/15. Queensland Roar were also renamed to Brisbane Roar in 2009 ahead of the two other Queensland sides entering the competition.Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC hold the current record for most minor premierships won with three, while Adelaide United, Central Coast Mariners and Brisbane Roar have captured two each. The Newcastle Jets are the only team who haven't finished first at the end of the regular season. However the Jets did emerge as surprise premiers during the 2008/09 season. Victory have secured the most grand final wins with four ahead of Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar with three. The Wanderers, Wellington Phoenix, Melbourne City and Perth Glory are the only sides without a grand final triumph.Newcastle Jets celebrate their Grand Final win in 2008Famous A-League Players:Some of the biggest names in world soccer have starred in the A-League since its inception in 2005:Alessandro Del Piero: Undoubtedly the most famous footballer ever to play in the A-League, the Italian superstar signed a two-year deal with Sydney FC after knocking back an offer to join Liverpool in September, 2012. He remains the highest-paid footballer to ever play in the A-League, with Del Piero scoring 24 goals in 48 appearances for the Sky Blues. Del Piero was made captain of Sydney FC during the 2013/14 season and was also named in their team of the decade, along with the AFC team of the decade in 2015.Romario: The Brazilian legend was signed to Adelaide United in 2006 for a short five-game stint in what was a huge publicity coup for the A-League. Although Romario was well past his prime, he still dazzled the A-League with his sublime skills and managed to score a goal in his final game in December, 2006.Juninho: The former Atletico Madrid, Middlesbrough and Celtic star joined Sydney FC in 2007, but unfortunately injuries restricted the Brazilian to just 12 appearances for the Sky Blues, in which he failed to find the back of the net. Nevertheless, Juninho remains one of the most skilful footballers to ever grace Australian domestic football, with several sides still chasing his signature before he announced his retirement in 2008.Dwight Yorke: The first marquee signing for the A-League in 2005, Yorke was picked up by Sydney FC after leaving Birmingham at the end of that season's EPL campaign. Yorke, a former Aston Villa and Manchester United legend, played a starring role in Sydney's championship-winning inaugural season, scoring seven goals and captaining the team in the grand final.Emile Heskey: Best known for his exploits with Leicester City and Liverpool, Heskey enjoyed a solid two-year tenure with the Newcastle Jets between 2012 and 2014. The English cult hero scored 10 goals in 42 games for the Jets and was named the club's player of the year award during the 2012/13 campaign.Robbie Fowler: Liverpool legend Fowler played at two A-League clubs - the now-defunct North Queensland Fury and Perth Glory. Fowler scored nine goals for each club and scored his first A-League hat-trick against Melbourne Victory for Perth in 2010.Harry Kewell: The Socceroos legend and arguably the most famous player in Australian history first signed with Melbourne Victory during the 2011/12 season, scoring eight goals from 25 appearances in a solid debut campaign in the A-League. Kewell would leave Victory after that season for a short stint in the Middle East, however he returned to sign with Melbourne Heart in 2013/14. But his signing wasn't a successful one, with injuries restricting Kewell to just two goals in 16 games.William Gallas: After signing a one-year deal with Perth Glory in 2013, Gallas became the first Frenchman to play in the A-League. Gallas, a former Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham star, played 14 games for Perth, scoring one goal.Shinji Ono: One of the most successful ever imports to the A-League, Japanese superstar Ono signed a two-year deal with the Western Sydney Wanderers in 2012. Ono ended up scoring 10 goals in 51 appearances for the Wanderers, with his last game for the club coming in their grand final loss to Brisbane Roar in 2014.A-League Teams:The A-League is made up of 10 teams from across Australia and New Zealand. Three other teams have played during the 12 seasons of the A-League before leaving.Current A-League teams:Adelaide United: One of the founding teams when the A-League launched in 2005, the Reds finished top of the ladder in the inaugural season. They also won the minor premiership again in 2015/16, the year in which they would finally win their first Grand Final.Brisbane Roar: The Roar are one of the A-League's most successful clubs having won three premierships. Originally known as Queensland Roar, Brisbane won back-to-back Grand Finals in 2011 and 2012 before claiming their third premiership in 2014.Central Coast Mariners: Another of the founding members, Central Coast Mariners were crowned A-League Premiers in 2014 - the only time they have been champions. The Gosford-based side had lost on three previous Grand Final appearances in 2006, 2008 and 2011.Melbourne City: Joined the A-League in 2010 as Melbourne Heart before being renamed Melbourne City in 2015. Part of the City Football Group which owns Manchester City and New York City, the Melbourne team have yet to feature in an A-League Grand Final.Melbourne Victory: Victory are the most successful team in A-League history with four premierships. They won the title in 2007, 2009, 2015 and 2018, and have been ever presents in the A-League.Newcastle Jets: The Jets are another of the teams to have been in the A-League from the outset. Newcastle have appeared in just two Grand Finals, but made the first count when beating rivals Central Coast Mariners in 2008. Sydney FC: Sydney FC created history as the inaugural A-League champions in 2006 and the Sky Blues also won the flag for a second time in 2010. They made it three titles in 2017 when completing the premiership double.Perth Glory: An ever-present throughout the A-League history, Perth are still in search of their first-ever premiership success. They have appeared in just one Grand Final when losing to Brisbane Roar in 2012.Wellington Phoenix: The only New Zealand team in the A-League, Phoenix joined the league in 2007 when they replaced New Zealand Knights. The team from Wellington have yet to feature in an A-League Grand Final.Western Sydney Wanderers: The A-League's newest team having made their debut in 2012, Wanderers have played in three Grand Finals in their four seasons in the league - but have lost on each occasions. Western Sydney did, however, become the first Australian team to win the AFC Champions League in 2014.Former A-League teams:Gold Coast United, New Zealand Knights, North Queensland Fury.Betting on A-League Soccer:Betting on A-League has grown in popularity with a number of ways to place bets on soccer increasing dramatically in recent years. From simply backing the winner or result of a single match to predicting premiership winners, top goalscorers, wooden spoonists and whether or not a player will be yellow or red-carded, the opportunity to bet on A-League soccer has never been greater.A rundown of some of the types of bets you can place on A-League games is below:Match Betting: Simply back the result, whether you think it will be a home win, an away win or a draw.Correct Score: Predict the correct score in the game.Over/Under Total Goals: Bet on whether you think there will be more or less than 2.5 goals in the game.

Edited 2-03-2007 and 5-19-2007.
Everyone's talking about how "AOL is in the iPod business now." AOL unveiled this hideous mp3-playing monstrosity at the CES show in LA like it was the cure for cancer. It got people murmuring about "how much AOL has changed" and "how innovative" they are and whether or not this shiny piece of crap will be "the next iPod killer," inspired ooohs and ahhs from the tech community and made Steve Job's cadre of devotees have fatal heart attacks. Time to sort out the truth from the bullshit so you can discuss the "killer player" without giving AOL credit that they don't deserve, which might make me have a fatal heart attack. Don't make me have a fatal heart attack…I'm only 35.
"AOL invented this new media player!"
The Truth
No, they didn't. The media player is not AOL's invention, nor will it be sold under their name. Haier didn't make it, either, but tragically, they did make the hardware for it. If you're not familiar with Haier, don't feel bad; I'm not, either. They're an obscure Chinese appliance company that makes refrigerators, washers, driers and TVs. They don't boast of one glamorous, must-have product worth discussing.
The Bullshit
"AOL wrote software for the new iPod-thingy!"
The Truth
AOL did not write software for it. Tegic, another tiny, obscure company (a subsidiary of AOL), whose biggest claim to fame is coding software that powers text messaging for certain hand-held mobile devices, wrote it. It's called SmartScreens.
The Bullshit
"It's the iPod killer!"
The Truth
No, it's not. It's the iPhone killer. None of the i-stuff can hold a candle to this thing, which can do almost anything except watch your six year old. I'll give it credit for it's exhausting list of options, if nothing else. It's the first all-in-one BlueTooth and wi-fi enabled player that runs on open-source software, downloads streaming music and content, and handles any file type except Apple's including WMA files, AACPlus, AACPlus Enhanced, WAV, MP3, MPEG-4, WMV 7/8/9, H.264, AVI video, and JPG and PNG images (source: swik.net).
Why it will never kill the iPod or the iPhone
The Haier mp3 player is unwieldy.
At a little over one pound and roughly 4.5″ by 2.48″ by 0.46″ it must be one pain in the ass to lug around just to listen to music and make phone calls. Why not lug my hard drive around? They look the same and it will surely get me more attention than their mp3 player, especially once I trick it out with a touch screen, audio playback and BlueTooth. Haier certainly has no size advantage over any other portable player like SanDisk, Creative, or Apple.
The Haier mp3 player is ugilicious.
Young boys and men will go wild for it because it's rugged and "manly" looking but it inspires nothing in me but disdain. Did I mention it's awfully big? That it's heavy? That the brushed stainless steel case shows every smudge and fingerprint so you'll have to wipe it down every three seconds if you have even a light case of OCD like me? That it photographs poorly because it has so much shine? That it has no sex appeal, no portability, nothing that says, "Just grab me and go?"
The Haier mp3 player uses a fairly obscure OS.
It runs off of an open-source client (Linux) which is going to turn off 99% of the market because most people use Windows or Apple, and don't even know what Linux is; end of story.
The Haier mp3 player has AOL content and "AOL software."
Although the software belongs to AOL in only the loosest of fashions, much like Time Warner, the early press made it sound like AOL owned it and it will be hard for them to undo that image now. Plus AOL all but gave it away during and after CES that the mp3 player will feature their own content, an instant turn-off for anyone who's tech savvy or even just smart enough not to touch AOL (their service is hard to cancel and their software gums up your computer, in case you haven't heard).
My final thought is no one will buy it except Linux fans who like AOL and don't mind the lack of trustworthy names behind this gimmick. As you can imagine, there will be about 3 people who fit that description. Linux users are geeks and geeks almost never use AOL, so that rules out most of the mp3 player's target audience before it's even out of the gate.

In most homes, the router is the main gatekeeper for all the data that flow in and out of our networked and web-connected gadgets. They're usually taken for granted, stashed in a corner, getting rebooted and tweaked once in a while when slowdown and connection issues arise.
But in light of recent campaigns and massive attacks against millions of Internet of Things appliances and other connected gadgets, such as the Mirai distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) last year, devices like DVRs, webcams and yes, routers, are always at risk of becoming botnet minions.
A Distributed Denial of service (DDoS) is an attack where a targeted website is flooded with an overwhelming amount of requests from millions of connected machines in order to bring it down.
A botnet is an assembly of compromised computers and mobile gadgets used in cyber attacks often without the knowledge of the owners.
Late last year, we reported about certain models of Netgear routers having vulnerabilities that allowed hackers to use a malicious link to run unauthorized commands. To Netgear's credit, the company promptly issued a firmware patch for the affected routers in order to fix the issue.
Now that this flaw seems to be behind us, don't let your guard down yet. A new vulnerability in certain Netgear routers has been outed again and this flaw can potentially allow an attacker to gain total control of these devices.
The exploit, discovered by Trustwave security researcher Simon Kenin, can reportedly reveal the administrator password to anyone with even the most basic programming skills. This security hole could allow hackers to abuse these routers' password recovery systems to steal the credentials.
"After few trials and errors trying to reproduce the issue," Kenin stated in his blog post as he detailed the bug. "I found that the very first call to passwordrecovered.cgi will give out the credentials no matter what the parameter you send. This is [a] totally new bug that I haven't seen anywhere else."
Kenin continued that this vulnerability is critical since "it affects a large number of models" and the number of affected routers could be in the millions. Moreso, if attackers get through the router's administrator panel, they can survey all the connected gadgets in a network and will try and access them with the same stolen router password.
And more importantly, as shown by the Mirai botnet attacks, such vulnerabilities can allow hackers to utilize your router and other connected gadgets as part of DDoS botnet attacks.
Thankfully for Netgear router owners, there are prerequisites for this hack to take place. First, the exploit can only be done if remote administration is set to on or if an attacker has physical access to the router itself. By default, remote administration is set to off on Netgear routers so if you haven't touched this setting, it's one fewer thing to worry about.
Kenin warned that places with public Wi-Fi access points, such as coffee shops and libraries, where an attacker can have physical access to the router, are vulnerable to this hack.
What you can do
As we always advise our readers, always keep your router firmware up-to-date and always check at least once every three months.
If you own any of these Netgear router models, please update your firmware immediately:
- R6300v2
- WNDR3400v3
- WNR3500Lv2
- WNDR4500v2
- R6200v2
- WNDR3400v2
For these other Netgear routers running firmware that has not been patched yet, it is recommended that remote management is set to off:
- R6200 on v22.214.171.124_1.0.43
- R6300 on v188.8.131.52_1.0.58
- VEGN2610 on v184.108.40.206_1.0.12
- AC1450 on v184.108.40.206_10.0.16
- WNR1000v3 on v18.104.22.168_60.0.93
- WNDR3700v3 on v184.108.40.206_1.0.31
- WNDR4000 on v184.108.40.206_9.1.86
- WNDR4500 on v18.104.22.168_1.0.68
- D6300 on v188.8.131.52
- D6300B on v188.8.131.52
- DGN2200Bv4 on v188.8.131.52
- DGN2200v4 on v18.104.22.168
