1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) and, more particularly, to a uniform mechanism for building containment hierarchies.
2. Background Description
Object oriented programming (OOP) is the preferred environment for building user-friendly, intelligent computer software. Key elements of OOP are data encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. These elements may be used to generate a graphical user interface (GUI), typically characterized by a windowing environment having icons, mouse cursors and menus. While these three key elements are common to OOP languages, most OOP languages implement the three key elements differently.
Examples of OOP languages are Smalltalk, Object Pascal and C++. Smalltalk is actually more than a language; it might more accurately be characterized as a programming environment. Smalltalk was developed in the Learning Research Group at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the early 1970s. In Smalltalk, a message is sent to an object to evaluate the object itself. Messages perform a task similar to that of function calls in conventional programming languages. The programmer does not need to be concerned with the type of data; rather, the programmer need only be concerned with creating the right order of a message and using the right message. Object Pascal is the language used for Apple's Macintosh� computers. Apple developed Object Pascal with the collaboration of Niklaus Wirth, the designer of Pascal. C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at the AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1983 as an extension of C. The key concept of C++ is class, which is a user-defined type. Classes provide object oriented programming features. C++ modules are compatible with C modules and can be linked freely so that existing C libraries may be used with C++ programs. The most widely used object based and object oriented programming languages trace their heritage to Simula developed in the 1960s by O-J. Dahl, B. Myhrhaug and K. Nygard of Norway. Further information on the subject of OOP may be had by reference to Object Oriented Design with Applications by Grady Booch, The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Co., Inc., Redwood City, Calif. (1991).
Rapid Application Design (RAD) tools, such as Microsoft's Visual Basic, offer a way to produce a software application in a relatively short period of time. Typically, RAD tools are used to generate the "look and feel" of an application, but the code generated by these tools are generally slow in execution. Therefore, many software houses prototype the Graphic User Interface (GUI) of their applications in a RAD tool and then implement the application in C++.
Despite the benefits of object-oriented program development, implementing large applications in, for example, C++ can be expensive. One approach to reducing the cost is to reuse object implementations. Object Oriented Programming (OOP) languages provide some degree of reuse. OOP is about describing how objects interact with one another. Component Object Programming (COP) is designed to produce reusable units of software. COP use building blocks for constructing custom software. Unlike OOP objects, COP hides details above the object-interaction level. There is no inheritance between components, although the objects that make up the component may inherit behavior from other objects, possibly in other components. In other words, when using a component, the inner workings of that component are oblivious to the application using the component. The component always appears as a single interface which formalizes properties, events and behavior. As a result of its well defined interface, a component may be easily reused. Components are to software what integrated circuits (ICs) are to electronics; they encapsulate function and provide services based on a strict specification of their interface. For example, a spell-check component encapsulates the minimum knowledge to completely perform its task. Thus, by combining components, large software applications can be built.
An advantage of COP is an additional level of modularity on top of what OOP already offers. Instead of thinking about how any one given object interacts with another object, the focus is on how entire sets of functionalities interact. OOP does not encapsulate groups of classes and objects. COP hides the information at the class level. Sun Microsystems'JavaBeans is a component architecture for the cross-platform Java programming language.
Creating hierarchical containment structures is a common programming operation. For example, components are placed inside a Java object called a container. A dialog box in Java is made up of the surrounding container and the components within it needed to make the dialog box useable, such as a text field and at least one button. In current technology, the mechanisms used to create hierarchies are very much tied to the specific object types which are being composed and the operations they support. Unfortunately, this approach does not lend itself to a generalized view of containment and consequently to a generalized implementation of containment that can support arbitrary object types.
To illustrate this point, consider how user interfaces use containment for layout management. Windows may contain panels which, in turn, have other panels, buttons, text fields, etc. whose containment hierarchy defines the visual layout. Other natural examples are:
the members of a set are contained in the set,
the keys and values in a hash table are contained in the hash table,
the elements of a vector are contained in the vector, and
hierarchical data structures such as trees where child nodes are contained in parent nodes.
In each of these examples, the mechanism of how the containment creation is requested is different. For example,
Certain Java AWT components use the form:
parent.add (child)
Certain Java swing components use the form:
parent.getContentPane( ). add(child)
Java swing Tab components use the form:
parent.addTab(child, . . . )
Java Hashtables use the form:
Java Vectors use the form:
Java Stacks use the form:
XMLs DOM uses the form:
Today, the details of how to actually add a containee to a container is encapsulated within each of these mechanisms.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to unify how containment is requested as well as a syntax which insulates the user from having to know how each type of component implements its containment creation request.
According to the invention, there is provided a uniform mechanism for building containment hierarchies by separating the code/method which actually perform the containment insertion operations on the components from the specification of the containment and then by providing an automatic way of obtaining and executing that code when containment hierarchies need to be created. The invention consists of
an abstract syntax for describing the containment relationships,
a processing mechanism for creating the containment mechanism, and
a registry containing the mechanisms for implementing specific containment policies.
Having this abstraction allows an application programmer to be able to construct hierarchies of objects without having to be concerned about the specific details of how that containment is performed. In fact, the details may be deferred until run-time (and even downloaded from elsewhere on the network). Also, having this abstraction significantly simplifies automatic generation of object hierarchy codes, both from the point of view its implementation as well as that of the code that is generated.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects and advantages will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of the process of registering an adder in the adder registry;
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of the process of looking up an adder in the adder registry; and
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of the process implementing the add () service method that uses the adder registry to implement the adding of an object to its containing object.
The detailed description is provided in terms of an implementation in the Java programming language. The description uses the following terms:
Container: the object into which other objects are to be added.
Containee: the object which is being added to a container.
Parent: synonym for container.
Child: synonym for containee.
The process of adding a containee into a container is referred to as "adding". The invention allows one to add a containee into a container without being aware of the details of the mechanics of implementing the adding operation.
The invention introduces the concepts of an "Adder" and an "Adder Registry". An adder is an object that understands the mechanics of how to add a containee to a specific type of container. In the Java realization, an Adder is defined by the following interface:
public interface Adder{
public void add (Class parentclass, Object
parent, Object[] args);
Thus, an adder is a Java object that implements this interface by providing the add ( ) method defined above. As an example, an adder for Java AWT containers is shown below:
public class AwTContainerAdder implements Adder{
public void add (Class parentClass, Object
parent, Object[] args{
Container c = (Container) parent;
if (args.length == 2){
c.add ((Component) args[0], args[1]);
c.add ((Component) args[0]);
The adder registry is a registry of adders. The registry is used to register adders that are capable of adding to specific container types and to find an adder for given container type. The registration and looking up of adders from the registry uses the type of the container as a key. This allows the registry to try to find a suitable adder even when an adder is not available directly.
The process of registering an adder is illustrated in FIG. 1. In function block 101, the adder object is associated with the container type it purports to be capable of adding to. This association is remembered by the registry for use when a look up is requested.
The process of looking up an adder from the adder registry is illustrated in FIG. 2. In decision block 201, a test is made to determine if an adder for the given container type is available in the registry. If yes, that adder is returned in function block 202. If not, a test is made in decision block 203 to determine if the container type has a superclass. If so, function block makes a recursive call to the registry to look up an adder for the superclass type. If not, in decision block 205, a test is made to determine whether the container type has any supertypes. If not, in function block 206 an error status is returned. If so, in function block 207, recursive calls are made iteratively to the registry to look up an adder for the nth super type of the container's type. Function and decision blocks 205 and 207 effectively implement a depth-first traversal of the type lattice looking for a suitable adder.
Adding a containee to a container is a service provided by a utility object. This service (method) takes the container and one or more additional arguments consisting of the containee and any supplemental information (such as constraints to guide the adding) and performs the addition. The function of this service method is illustrated in FIG. 3. In function block 301, the registry of adders is consulted to find the appropriate adder based on the type of container. In decision block 302, a test is made to determine whether an adder was found. If not, in function block 303, an error status is returned to indicate that the service method was unable to perform the add. If yes, function block 304 invokes the adder to actually perform the add, and in function block 305 a satisfactory return status is returned to the caller.
By using the adder, adder registry and the service method, one can create a higher abstraction of the common programming tasks of adding objects to other objects to form hierarchies.
While the invention has been described in terms of a single preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Product Information
Spoil your pet with this amazing dog toy from Premier Pet Products!
Why We Love It:
The Busy Buddy Magic Mushroom Dog Toy is a whimsical spin on traditional dog toys. This toy for dogs keeps dogs engaged as they work for their food by tilting and twirling mushroom around. The base twists off for easy loading and adjustable windows under the mushroom cap vary the rate of release. The Magic Mushroom holds a variety of kibble and treats, including Busy Buddy Berries Dog Treats and the Liver Biscotti from Premier (sold separately).
Important Sizing Note: The following measurements are the dimensions of the actual product, not of the pet they fit. After measuring your pet, make sure all measurements fit within the following dimensions (with a little room to spare in the chest and neck).Small
Great product and speedy delivery by BaxterBoo. My dogs will play with this for hours!
I got this as an addition to the Kong "Wobbler", as my dog loves treat toys. I like how you can adjust the size of the kibble/treat holes. It's definitely more challenging than the Wobbler. Unfortunately, after a few sessions with this, my dog figured out how to unscrew the top portion and get all the kibble out easily. (He may just be too clever for his own good). I've lent this to other friends with dogs and no other dog has unscrewed it, so it might just be mine. All in all, I'd still recommend it, as it's sturdy, cute, and easy to clean. If you have a very clever dog, however, I'd recommend supervised sessions to make sure they don't unscrew it!
My Simba adores puzzles and this one really frustrates him which in my opinion makes a good toy! The mushroom manages to stimulate his imagination because it is a little more difficult then some of the other treat contraptions. He loves to carry the puzzle around in his mouth and will even throw it down the entire flight of steps to get his treats out! Needless to say it is also very durable and fits good sized treats that don't have to be too small.

PAUL Moody sent Aldershot Town spinning into the third qualifying round of the FA Cup with another two-goal show which earned praise from boss Terry Brown.
Moody struck identical headed goals inside four second half minutes to roast the Ducks of Aylesbury and set up a home clash with either Lewes or Eastleigh on October 12.
It's no co-incidence that Moody's six goals in six games runs parallel with his team's run of eight consecutive victories.
Saturday was living proof that Moody can muscle up a goal just when the Shots most need it, and with that kind of firepower on board, it's no surprise that Brown's men are making an early bid for league and cup glory.
Brown, for one, was left convinced that his striker coup could well be the final piece to his jigsaw. He said: "The difference between the two sides today was Paul. Aylesbury are as good a side as any going forward in this league but they could not handle his aerial ability at all.
"We were looking to play off him all the time, I know that's a basic way of playing, but it's working so why not just stick to it?
"I was very pleased with Paul's performance and very pleased with Jamie Taylor and Roscoe D'sane, who, between the three of them, caused them all sorts of problems out there.
"I thought, as a whole, we played with a lot more verve and ambition today against a good Aylesbury side, who will always score goals."
The Shots will be slightly relieved that the FA Cup draw has been kind to them once again for the third qualifying round - relieved that a side like Aylesbury doesn't come in the way of them and another glory cup run.
No disrespects to Ryman division one side Lewes or Jewson Wessex Leaguers Eastleigh, who drew 0-0 at The Dripping Pan on Saturday, but Brown will be quietly confident his side will be in the hat for the fourth qualifying round alongside Farnborough, Woking et al in two weeks time - especially if their impressive form continues.
It's been a good week for Brown, fuelled by news from the treatment table that no fewer than five of his regulars had overcome injury to take their place in the starting line-up.
Nick Roddis donned the red and blue for the first time in a month and added a spark to the Shots midfield, while Dean Hooper, Anthony Charles, Moody and Richard Gell all got back in the fold - Gell albeit on the bench for starters.
Although Brown has still to field his strongest available line-up with Lee Charles, Jason Chewins and Paul Buckle still out on the sidelines, this was as good as its got so far this season, and his players didn't let either him, or the 1,815 crowd, down.
They dominated the opening period right from the first whistle with livewire Taylor going close to opening the deadlock with a cross shot which produced a fine diving save from Ducks keeper Adam Wheeler.
Talented Taylor, who took his place in a dangerous three-pronged attack with Moody and D'sane, impressed once again with an energetic display, and for the second week running, capped it with a fine individual goal.
With 28 minutes gone on the clock, Taylor received the ball wide out on the left, turned full back Mark Burgess and made his way in-field.
A delicate cross-field run saw him elude two more challenges before burying a fine 25-yard shot past Wheeler and inside the near post for his third goal of the season.
The Shots continued to press for the remainder of the half and but for Wheeler's efforts in parrying Karl Ready's header and D'sane's scuffed goalbound attempts, they might have found themselves further behind.
Nikki Bull, in contrast, had very little to do, but to smother Kezie Ibe's snapshot after a neat move and watch Dicker's half volley veer just wide of the far post.
Moody, at this stage, was knocking on the door, with Ducks defenders waddling in his wake. His first sniff of goal came eight minutes into the second period, and a good strike it was too, only for the assistant referee to rule out his 'goal' in the far bottom corner, for offside.
But this game wasn't as one-sided as the chances may suggest. Aylesbury, under the direction of former Hampton boss Steve Cordery, had arrived at the Rec with the intention of giving it a go.
Indeed, when Greg Williams latched onto a rare error from Ready in clearing from Gareth Risbridger and slotted home into the far corner of the net, there could be no arguments.
For a ten minute period prior to the goal, the Shots began to lose their way. So enter Moody to steer them through with finishing of the highest quality.
A corner sequence, won initially by the lightning pace of D'sane, sparked pandemonium in the Ducks area, D'sane whipped in number three from the left flank and Moody was on hand at the near post to steer the ball home with a flick header.
Four minutes later, the same thing happened. D'sane's centre was just a little deeper this time around but Moody was still able to outjump Dicker and guide a similar header in a similar direction with an exact same outcome.
Moody and Roddis both went close to increasing the lead as the Shots played out the final minutes --Roddis, in particular, disappointed he couldn't latch onto John Nutter's pin-point cross.
But it was job done, and with Harrow Borough visiting the Rec tonight (Tuesday, ko 7.45pm), Brown's men are in perfect frame of mind to set the record straight.
Victory would give the Shots their eighth successive league win - which equals the club record set three seasons ago.
SHOTS: Bull; Hooper, A Charles (sub Nutter 89mins), Ready, Cousins, Sterling, Roddis (Gell 90), Taylor, Moody, D'sane, Holsgrove. Not used: Kuhl, Carroll, Cooper.
Ref: S Gagen. Att: 1,815.
l The Shots youth team have the best possible incentive to beat Lewes at the Rec tomorrow night (Wednesday, ko 7.45pm) in the FA Youth Cup. The winners of the tie will progress to the first round proper and entertain Colchester United at a date to be rearranged.

1. Re: Applet privelages lost after javascript callbaftos Apr 2, 2010 12:37 PM (in response to 843811)The link you provided correctly describes why this happens and a workaround, which should work.
But it's a tricky way to solve the problem.
Search the forums for AccessController.doPrivileged(), which is the 'official' way.
2. Re: Applet privelages lost after javascript call843811 Apr 2, 2010 2:00 PM (in response to baftos)Reading that post, I understood why the issue happened as described, I just didn't know what I was missing to get it to work correctly. I guess I was just missing some uses of AccessController.doPrivileged() in my implementation. I'll give that a try and see how it works.

The vacancy rate is the percentage of rental homes that are available in a community.
The vacancy rates for rental apartments are very different across Ontario. Generally, communities with lower vacancy rates (that means fewer places available to rent) have higher rent prices.
Vacancy rates can change year to year. It is important to keep this in mind when you are thinking about where you want to live and making plans for your future. For example, a city with many vacancies now might have fewer vacancies by the time you are ready to move there.
You can find more information in the CMHC Rental Market Reports. For local rental market information, please contact your local CMHC branch. You can also call a housing help centre or community agency about rental pricing and trends. To find help in your area, go to Services Near Me.
Choose a red marker or a city name to see vacancy rates and rental rates for that location.
The numbers in this article are from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

Another CF person here...
I am 29 - and I hear the "you'll change your mind" comment repeatedly. Especially since I am still young and "capable". I absolutely think it is possible that I could change my mind one day, but am waiting for that bell to ring, and it simply hasn't yet. I question myself very deeply, and still find no desire for a child in my life.
Sometimes this is a hard thing for me to face for myself... The thought that when I am older I won't have that familial support network (Although I have lots of BFFs that could fill that role), and that my parents may never be grandparents... something they REALLY want. I think my mother has come to accept it though, since a discussion I had with her last year when I asked her to quit asking me about it.
Recently, I got a copper IUD that will ensure (99.8% anyhow) that I will remain child free until I am past forty. It is easily reversible for that small chance that I
change my mind.... this adds an incredible peace of mind in my decision, and I feel is the essence of feminism - the ability to
I passionately support and respect those who do CHOOSE to have or not have children, and don't simply have them because they are supposed to, just like I passionately support those who CHOOSE their own relationship styles.

Population 827
Adelong was established and thrived as a goldmining town in the late 19th century. Wilham Williams discovered gold and prospectors flocked to Adelong to seek their fortunes. Legend has it that Williams bought a mining claim for £40 000, only to sell it later the same day for £75 000. By World War I, over a million ounces of gold had been extracted from the mines, leaving little behind. The people began to disappear immediately. What is left is a charming rural village with a turn-of-the-century feel.

Obviously, you bought your P10 because you knew that you wanted horsepower and American style both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. Chevrolet automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of reliability when driving their P10 around town. It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Drive & Serpentine Belt for your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace.
One of the keys to maintaining an operational engine and full use of your accessories is keeping an eye on your drive belts. Your Chevrolet P10 drive or serpentine belts are essentially siphoning power from the crank and sending it to the various accessory pulleys. Due to the pressure these belts are operating under, they run the risk of suddenly breaking or wearing down over time; potentially leaving your engine without the use of its alternator, power steering, or more. Chevrolet P10 engines with more than one belt joining all of the accessories to the crank pulley have a drive belt system, while a serpentine belt system does the job with just one.
Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Bring your P10 back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. If your car or truck was built in 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, then you will find the correct Chevrolet P10 Drive & Serpentine Belt parts right here.

Compared to storage devices made of more stable materials (like hard disk and SD card), optical disks (including CDs and DVDs) are much more fragile. From this point, the possibility of CD users meeting file loss is larger than that of other users. Generally speaking, it's a necessary task for CD users to be prepared with a good CD recovery program even if they are not confronted with CD file loss problem right now. We guess they'll need it sooner or later. The advantage of doing so is obvious: to recover CD files as soon as possible so as to enhance recovery rate.
Make Use of Free CD Recovery Program
For users' sake, we'd like to share a wonderful free recovery tool for CD users here; its name is MiniTool Power Data Recovery. It is considered as the best free CD recovery program mainly because:
1.It can not only recover files from CD, but also get back missing files from other devices.
2.It is provided with high compatibility, giving support to various operating systems, file types and storage media.
3.It has wizard-style interfaces, so even users who don't know file recovery at all can accomplish the recovery work easily.
Tutorials on Using the Free CD Recovery Tool
The work to recover CD files with MiniTool Power Data Recovery can be roughly divided into three parts.
Part 1: get a free edition from the download center and install it to a safe location, except for the place which includes lost files.
Part 2: run the free edition at the end of installation and click the last functional module – "CD/DVD Recovery" in the main interface.
Part 3: follow the tips given in each operating interface of the free CD recovery tool to carry out CD file recovery one step after another.
When you see all operations are finished by the CD recovery program you're running, you can close it to exit and end the recovery.

Some Concerned That 72 Prospective Changes In Michigan Liquor Laws Could Harm Business And Be A Hazard To Public Health
Last week on Friday regulators of the state of Michigan announced some seventy- two changes that ideally will broaden the size of the state's licensed beverage industry.
With that said, not all producers of the states very popular beverage industry are happy with the prospective changes.
Officials at the well-known Michigan Wine Producers Association have purported that the recommended changes are expected to make the regulation of not just the industry in general more manageable and efficient but are specifically targeted to maximize the business-friendliness of wineries.
In fact, for quite some time now Michigan winery owners have had concerns regarding the growth of the wine industry and these 72 changes are not only expected to address concerns but are presumed to support growth in the industry according to MWPA officials. Yet, there are brewery owners and beverage industry owners in general in the state of Michigan exclaiming that the report sent to the office of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder by the state's Office of Regulatory Reinvention did not represent the unanimous position of breweries.
Many industry insiders believe that not only will the changes have unintended consequences but the changes in the report also raise incredibly controversial concerns that require a much closer observation by legislators before such changes are implemented. Some predictions indicate that the 72 changes may actually hinder business in Michigan as well result in hazardous consequences to public safety and health.
Among the most controversial changes expected to occur is the rewording of a statute that will make it far more difficult to prosecute those who sale to or serve alcohol to individuals who are objectively [reasonably] believed to be intoxicated. The updated law will require that the perpetrator "knowingly allow" an intoxicated person to drink or be served as opposed to "allow". Although the change seems small and is just a one word difference, it involves huge implications regarding intent of the perpetrator that only Michigan legislators as well the governor may approve.
As well, the change discussed above will only pertain to drinkers of the legal limit, 21 years of age or older. Additionally, other notable changes pertain to Michigan brewers being allowed to conduct off-premise tasting sessions as well as offer non-cost samples of the beverages.
Meanwhile, other changes concern Michigan breweries being allowed to obtain similar marketing and sales rights that are offered to small wineries in the state. Among other suggested changes are an increase in Michigan resort licenses by forty, removal of strict prohibitions regarding alcohol use for advertising and contest purposes, and allowance of liquor licenses to smaller service and fuel stations.
Most changes require at least legislator approval and such would not be expected until fall.

How to iron a dress shirt
Your e-mail has been successfully sent to the recipient.
No one wants to look like they've slept in their clothes. Follow our simple steps on how to iron to get your button-downs tidy and crisp-- and look your best in no time! Shirt ironing tips has never been easier for you to follow.
Check the shirt's label. Cotton and cotton blends can tolerate a hot iron, while polyester blends need a cooler setting. The manufacturer's washing symbols should spell it out clearly, but when in doubt, start with a low setting and increase the heat until wrinkles in the shirt begin to respond.
Is it clean? Ironing over existing stains can set them permanently. Don't risk it: Choose a detergent that works for both whites and colours, like Dynamo Power Gel, and use a liquid fabric softener. For a long-lasting scent use Downy.
Press the collar. Begin with the underside, working from the centre of the collar out toward the points. Turn over and repeat on the other side of the collar.
Press the shoulders. Place one shoulder over the narrow end of your ironing board. Starting at the yoke (where the collar meets the body of the shirt), iron toward the centre of the back. Repeat the process on the other side.
Press the cuffs. Lay one sleeve flat with the buttons or cuff-link holes facing up. Iron the inside of the cuff first, then turn over and iron the outside. Repeat with the other sleeve.
Press the sleeves. Lay one sleeve flat and use your hand to smooth out any creases between the two layers. Iron the front of the sleeve first, then the back. Repeat with the other sleeve.
Press the front and back. Begin with the front panels, taking care to iron between the buttons; pressing on them can cause them to break. Turn over and iron the back of the shirt.
When you're done, hang and button your shirt immediately, and turn off and unplug your iron.

LOS ANGELES - Actress Melissa McCarthy premiered her latest comedy "The Boss" in Los Angeles on Monday, walking the red carpet with husband Ben Falcone who directed the movie.
In the film, the "Bridesmaids" actress plays the self-declared "wealthiest woman in America" Michelle Darnell, who ends up bankrupt and jailed for insider trading.
Once out of prison with a new intent of kindness, she finds that not everyone is so willing to forget her past evil ways.
The movie also stars Kristen Bell, Tyler Labine, Peter Dinklage and Kathy Bates.
"I think it's really fun. We worked really, really hard on the script. We're constantly changing it at the end of each night of shooting, we re-evaluate has anything changed today that may affect the work tomorrow," McCarthy said about improvising during shooting.
"We improvise tiny little bits. I improvise a lot but it never strays away from that map."
The actress added that she also grew to like her character.
"As tough as she is, I think her message was always if you work hard enough and prove it, you can do it, which I think is very different from a bad boss who almost doesn't want you to succeed," McCarthy said.
"The Boss" hits cinemas from April 7.

Superb phone. Should cost more, in my opinion. Excellent battery life, indestructible screen, (seriously, it literally refused to crack when i dropped it flat, without my case, onto a concrete surface.) everything else is average, but nonetheless an amazing phone. Would recommend.
Highly recommend this phone because of it has good specs, ram memory, for a great price.
I've had one of these for about 2 years or so, and it just won't die. I've dropped it numerous times on concrete, and all it did was dent the sides and corners. And with Greenify you can make the battery last for a few days. My only gripes are that the screen is a MONSTER power hog, and the Lollipop update these were supposed to get in Q3/Q4 of 2015 never actually came into fruition.
I mistakenly broke the internal LED on my phone so the screen is messed up but this phone serviced me well for almost three years. It does get hot at times but it charges fast, it has a good amount of space, and it's easy on the eyes and the hands. Great display. My only complain, besides the overheating is the poor camera(s). Besides that, this could be a phone that works for most if not all. Definitely recommend!
An amazing phone for the money , especially since there are so many used phones out there. I have dropped this phone countless times in a lack luster plastic case and it "keeps on ticking'. It has every feature i needs as 'geezer user' though some of newern Samsung technology might be better for pulling in a weak signal a problem out hear in SW Idaho where towers are far apiece'.

Pope's Russian outreach stirs anxieties
[The Catholic Church in Poland stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church especially in suspending the Vatican-inspired "interchurch working group" with the Russo-Orthodox Church after Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and other parts of eastern Ukraine]
Jonathan Luxmoore | Mar. 8, 2016 | NCRonline
In the weeks following Pope Francis' meeting with Russia's Orthodox Patriarch Kirill in Cuba, predictions are still being aired about the wider impact on Catholic-Orthodox ties. But some church leaders are worried about the implications of the new closeness, and seek reassurances from the Vatican.
"We don't doubt the goodness of Pope Francis — he's a humble man who's looking out for the good of the church," said Bishop Hlib Lonchyna from Ukraine's Greek Catholic church. "But there seem to be problems in how Rome understands the world. If you're raised in the West, you inherit a mentality which may well impede your capacity to grasp particular realities."
Ukrainian Catholics like Lonchyna have had reason to be concerned about the 30-point declaration that emerged from the Feb. 12 Havana airport encounter. Their church combines the Eastern rite with loyalty to Rome, and was brutally suppressed as an allegedly Westernizing force under Soviet rule, when its parishes and properties were forcibly handed over to Russian Orthodox bishops.
A similar fate awaited Greek Catholics in neighboring Romania and Slovakia, and the church has been locked in conflict with the Orthodox as a result since it revived in the early 1990s. Ties have worsened since war erupted in Ukraine two years ago, with Greek Catholics backing pro-Western forces and Orthodox leaders favoring links with Russia.
Although Greek Catholics expected support from the pope, the Vatican has avoided taking sides.
In a website interview just two days after the Havana meeting, the church's leader, Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kiev-Halych, Ukraine, said the document's "half-truth nature" had left many Ukrainians feeling "betrayed by the Vatican," and suspicious that Rome was "indirectly supporting Russian aggression."
Lonchyna thinks such reactions have been common, as many Ukrainians struggle to come to terms with Rome's latest "incomprehensible move."
"Vatican officials are still calling this conflict a civil war, when it's really a Russian war of aggression," the Greek Catholic bishop told NCR. "One can understand Pope Francis wants to show unconditional goodwill towards the Orthodox and demonstrate he's serious about restoring communion — and it's obvious this requires some give and take. But it's equally clear this declaration was mostly written in Moscow."
So what's at stake — and why are views so strongly divided?
While popes since Paul VI have enjoyed friendly ties with the ecumenical patriarch, who's recognized as spiritual head of Orthodoxy's nine patriarchates and 21 churches and archbishoprics, ties have been tense with the Russian church, which claims the spiritual loyalty of half the world's 250 million Orthodox Christians.
Following the collapse of communist rule in 1989-91, there was intermittent talk of a top-level summit under Pope John Paul II and Russian Patriarch Aleksi II. But this was prevented by Russian complaints that Catholics were "proselytizing" in traditionally Orthodox areas, which reached a head in 2002 when the Polish pope created four Catholic dioceses in Russia.
Contacts improved after the April 2005 election of Pope Benedict XVI, when an interchurch working group was set up. In August 2012, Polish Catholic and Russian Orthodox leaders pledged to "overcome mutual prejudices and misunderstandings." But the Moscow patriarchate still objected to the revival of Ukraine's previously outlawed Greek Catholic church, whose members are referred to contemptuously as "uniates" by Russian Orthodox leaders.
Meanwhile, Kirill's conspicuous closeness to Russian President Vladimir Putin's dictatorial regime also caused Western church leaders to back off. When Kirill said nothing against Russia's March 2014 annexation of Crimea, even the Polish church suspended dialogue.
"Our meetings and pledges reflected a sincere wish for reconciliation — but today's geopolitical situation, especially concerning Ukraine, has now created a real block," Poland's Catholic primate, Archbishop Wojciech Polak of Gniezno, told NCR. "Our role now, in this complex situation, will be to open the eyes of our Orthodox brethren to contemporary realities. Although we don't regret what we did, we're doubtful about going further."
Hence the consternation that greeted the Havana meeting and Vatican claims that it had been under preparation for a full two years.
Under communism, Catholics in Eastern Europe often complained that the Vatican was negotiating over the heads of local church leaders. Such fears have been stirred up again by Francis and Kirill's declaration.
The lengthy document deplored the "deep economic and humanitarian crisis" caused by the war in Ukraine, but said nothing about Russia's continued military backing for the bloody separatist campaigns in Donetsk and Luhansk, which have left more than 9,000 people dead and 20,000 injured, according to United Nations data.
As for Greek Catholics, the Cuba meeting took place a month before the 70th anniversary of their church's outlawing by a 1946 Soviet-engineered synod, which saw thousands of clergy and laity imprisoned and killed. Far from offering words of consolation, however, the declaration reiterates that "uniatism" cannot be viewed as "the way to re-establish unity," and calls on Greek Catholics to "live in peace with their neighbors."
It makes no mention of Catholic rights in Russia, which are still heavily restricted, or of the effective banning of Catholic worship in occupied eastern Ukraine. Instead, it pledges Catholic backing for the Russian church's claim to be Ukraine's only canonically valid Orthodox community, and calls on local Catholics to "contribute" to Orthodox unity.
Speaking in Rome Feb. 21, the pope said the encounter with his "dear brother Kirill" had long been wished for by his predecessors, and should be viewed as "a prophetic light of resurrection, which the world today needs more than ever."
But others are also worried.
Poland's Catholic church has traditionally been unwavering in its loyalty to Rome, and its leaders predictably put a welcoming spin on the Havana meeting. Polak, the primate, himself welcomed its "open atmosphere."
Behind the scenes, however, Polish church officials admit to misgivings.
With the Kremlin known to be dissatisfied at Kirill's loss of standing at home and abroad, they point out, Putin will have pressured the patriarch to agree to the meeting, hoping a perceived reconciliation with the pope will bolster Russia's image. As for Kirill, he'll have counted on the Havana encounter to strengthen his position at a major council of Orthodox leaders, convening in Crete, Greece, this June.
Media claims that the Havana meeting was the first "for a thousand years" were mistaken, since Russia's Orthodox patriarchate was only founded in the 16th century. Paul VI met the Istanbul-based ecumenical patriarch, Athenagoras I, during and after the 1962-65 Second Vatican Council, and agreed in 1965 to "erase from memory" the mutual excommunications imposed at the 1054 Great Schism.
By suggesting the Cuba meeting was unprecedented, however, the media reports bolster Kirill's claim to be the world's most senior Orthodox leader.
Marcin Przeciszewski, who heads the Polish church's Catholic Information Agency (KAI), thinks the Vatican drew on the earlier Polish-Russian church dialogue in preparing the Havana talks. But the Polish church "understands the situation much better" than Rome, Przeciszewski insists. It's also "less trustful" of Kirill, whose vigorous promotion of a new "Russki mir," or Russian world, in Eastern Europe has perfectly suited the imperial ambitions of Putin.
Although Poland's church also hopes eventually to renew dialogue with Russian Orthodox leaders, Przeciszewski says this can only happen in a convincing way when conditions "change for the better" and the Russian church becomes less submissive to the state.
"The Polish church, with its long experience, is more cautious than the Vatican's diplomats," Przeciszewski told NCR. "While Kirill's church remains an instrument of Russian power and supports policies which are endangering the peace of Europe, his credibility as a partner must remain in doubt."

text: BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- The craft-beer industry, against steep odds, has been an amazing growth story.Craft brewers, the marketing term for small and independent companies, saw barrel volume increase 11% and retail sales rise 12% last year, according to the Brewers Association. Overall U.S. beer sales slumped 1%. While the craft-brewing segment represents only 5% of the total beer market, it commands higher profit margins, making the potential for market-share gains almost inevitable. Consumers have more beer options than ever, and they're picking quality over price. The consensus among beer aficionados is that the craft beers of today offer more taste and satisfaction than any of the big-brand manufacturers. So how do investors capitalize on the craft-beer market? There are two publicly traded craft brewers: Boston Beer ( SAM) and Craft Brewers Alliance ( HOOK). The two companies are dwarfed by conglomerate beer makers Anheuser-Busch InBev ( BUD) and Molson-Coors ( TAP). The majors are moving quickly to acquire specialty brewers wherever they can. Anheuser-Busch recently announced the acquisition of Goose Island Beer in Chicago for $39 million. More deals like this will be on tap. Molson-Coors last year announced the establishment of a new specialty division, Tenth and Blake, which features craft brands such as Blue Moon and Leinenkugel's. Yet while more acquisitions are likely, many of the potential suitors such as the privately held Sierra Nevada, Magic Hat or Harpoon Brewery aren't available to investors. So let's take a look at the two publicly traded options -- Craft Brewers Alliance and Boston Beer -- to see if investors can still profit. Craft Brewers Alliance: Brands include Redhook, Widmer Brothers and Kona Brewing Co. Craft Brewers Alliance was a 42% owner in Goose Island, for which it received $16.3 million from Anheuser-Busch InBev. Craft Brewers Alliance has deep relations with Anheuser-Busch InBev, which is centered on a third-party distribution agreement. Since Anheuser-Busch InBev also had a similar relationship with Goose Island, might there be the potential for another acquisition with Craft Brewers Alliance? At this point, the only potential suitor would be Anheuser-Busch InBev, which owns 32% of Craft Brewers Alliance, and is the sole distributor for all its brands.
