Talk of Fame Network
Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014 and defensive tackle Aaron Donald the Defensive Rookie of the Year.
They set a very high bar for future rookies. Beckham caught 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns for the New York Giants. Donald sacked nine quarterbacks for the St. Louis Rams. So who will follow in their footsteps in 2015?
In this week's Talk of Fame Network poll, we offer up six of the most deserving candidates for Rookie-of-the-Year honors -- two quarterbacks, two running backs, a wide receiver and a cornerback. It's your call. Who gets your vote? Here are the candidates:

Amari Cooper, WR, Oakland Raiders
Hoping to accelerate the development of their young quarterback, Derek Carr, the Raiders claimed the Alabama All-America with the fourth overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft. Mission accomplished. Cooper became a walk-in starter and made a splash in his second NFL game when he caught seven passes for 109 yards against the Baltimore Ravens, including a 68-yard touchdown. Cooper also has posted 100-yard receiving games against Cleveland, San Diego and Tennessee. Cooper leads all rookie receivers this season with 62 catches for 920 yards and four touchdowns.

Todd Gurley, HB, St. Louis Rams
Gurley's draft stock took a hit when he suffered a knee injury last November in his final season at Georgia. His rehabilitation figured to extend into his rookie season, so he slid to the 10th overall pick of the draft to the Rams. He was inactive for the first two games of his NFL career in September, then saw spot duty in his third game against Pittsburgh, gaining nine yards on six carries. Then came the explosion -- consecutive 100-yard games against Arizona (146), Green Bay (159), Cleveland (128) and San Francisco (133). He added a 140-yard game against the Detroit Lions this month and leads all rookie rushers with 975 yards on 189 carries with eight touchdowns. He's also fourth in the NFL in rushing.

Marcus Mariota, QB, Tennessee Titans
Mariota was the second overall choice of the 2015 draft by the Titans and became a walk-in starter. And what a walk-in debut he had, completing 13-of-16 passes for 209 yards with four touchdowns in a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mariota had another four-TD game against New Orleans and three-TD games against Oakland and Jacksonville. He passed for a career-best 371 yards in that game against the Saints and also had a 367-yard game against the Colts. In that three-touchdown game against the Jaguars, Mariota also rushed nine times for 112 yards, including an 87-yard TD. That was the third longest run by a quarterback in NFL history. He has 19 touchdown passes and only 10 interceptions on the season.

Marcus Peters, CB, Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs took Peters with the 18th overall choice of the 2015 draft, the third cornerback off the board. He became a walk-in starter at left corner and intercepted a pass in the season opener against Houston. He also intercepted Peyton Manning in his second game and returned it 58 yards for a touchdown. He intercepted Manning again in the AFC West rematch, returning it 28 yards, and then picked off Oakland's Derek Carr, returning that one 58 yards. He also intercepted Minnesota's Teddy Bridgewater, giving him five interceptions on the season, third in the NFL. Peters has also broken up 24 passes, which leads the NFL. The Chiefs have a top-five defense and have ridden a seven-game winning streak into playoff contention at 8-5.

Thomas Rawls, HB, Seattle Seahawks
Rawls made the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, then sat and watched Pro Bowler Marshawn Lynch carry the ball 32 times in the first two games. But when Lynch came up with a calf injury, Rawls made his first NFL start in his third game against Chicago, rushing 16 times for 104 yards. He has started six times filling in for Lynch on two separate occasions, and has 100-yard games in four of those games. He rushed for 169 yards and a touchdown against Cincinnati, 209 yards on 30 carries and two scores against San Francisco, and 101 yards and a TD against Minnesota. Rawls also scored a 31-yard touchdown on a pass reception against the 49ers. But Rawls fractured his ankle in his sixth start last weekend against Baltimore and will finish the season on injured reserve.

Jameis Winston, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Winston was the first overall selection of the 2015 draft and became a starter on the first day of the off-season program. Winston had been a high-interception quarterback at Florida State and had a rough go of it in his first month on the job in the NFL, throwing seven interceptions to help the Buccaneers spiral off to a 1-3 start. But he's obviously a quick learner. Winston has thrown only four interceptions over his next nine games, winning five of those starts to get Tampa Bay back in wild-card contention with a 6-7 record. Winston has yet to throw for 300 yards in a game but had a five-touchdown game against Washington and has rushed for five other TDs this season. Winston inherited an offense that finished last in the NFL in 2014. The Bucs now stand 11th in offense.

Hebburn Town boss Scott Oliver has welcomed the busy festive fixture schedule as his team looks to get back in the promotion frame.
The Hornets start their Northern League Division Two push tomorrow with a trip to Esh Winning.
David Coulson and Scott Wallace miss the game through injury while Ian Bickerstaff and Anth Myers face fitness tests after not being able to complete training this week.
Oliver, however, is looking forward to the game and says if his players compete at the standard they are capable of, it could be a good end to 2017.
He said: "We are still waiting on clearance for new signing John Sherlock from Lothian Thistle and we hope we have him available.
"Striker Dan Robinson missed training through illness and I hope he is well enough to be available.
"Craig Malley is unavailable but Callum Smith returns from a broken rib.
"We have three games in a week, which is ideal for us to get our season going again.
"We have trained well lately and we are focused for the coming games. It is time for the players to play to their potential and if we cut out individual errors we will win plenty of games.
"The last game we played was a 3-0 win over Esh Winning so we go there knowing what we need to do."

Late Thursday evening during a tension-filled Game 7, the Miami HEAT secured their second consecutive NBA Championship within the final moments in a 95-88 victory against the San Antonio Spurs. During the elated post-game interviews, several team members shared inspirational thoughts on success, struggles, and perseverance.
9 Miami HEAT Championship Quotes We Can All Live By
Albert Einstein once said, "A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future."
Dwyane Wade said after last night's game, "We live in the moment. We're not thinking about the future right now. We're not thinking about the past, you know. We're living in this moment right here and it's a sweet moment to live in."
More…[testimonial_wrap][testimonial]"Listen, I can't worry about what everybody says about me. I'm LeBron James, from Akron, Ohio, from the inner city. I'm not even supposed to be here. That's enough. Every night I walk into the locker room, I see a No. 6 with James on the back, I'm blessed. So what everybody says about me off the court, don't matter. I ain't got no worries.

I saw Momma Duck's head peaking through the tall green grass at the edge of our backyard pool. Each spring a family of Mallard Ducks chose our pool as a safe place to make their nest and lay on their eggs in hope they will hatch. For over ten years my family witnessed the cycle of newborn life as the ducks returned to our pool. Mallard Ducks mate for life and we participated in their love story.
The first year we saw Momma and Daddy Duck Alex and Michael were in their tweens. We awoke to the sound of squawking.
"Whats that loud noise?," Alex said as he looked out the window. We all ran to the family room to see.
We saw two ducks playfully swimming in our pool's crystal blue water as if they had found the Ritz Carlton Pond. We thought it was strange for ducks not to know the difference. We went back to our normal routine of getting ready for work and school. Several weeks later, I noticed twelve white eggs put together in a circle shape of love. I brought the neighbor kids to see the carefully prepared nest of twigs, feathers, and grasses intertwined. I watched Momma Duck faithfully lying on her eggs night after night. Mallard Ducks sit on their eggs for twenty-eight days because the soon to be ducklings need warmth to grow. There was since of comfort knowing she was there so dutifully.

When Zorana and I first discussed her feature and what she would share—normally amongst the obvious choices are fashionable tablescapes, home entertaining soirees, or beautifully designed rooms—after all we are event fashionistas, right?! Her choice was simple. "My gallery wall," she replied! It made total sense. She's an interior designer, gallery walls are in, so a feature on one was a no brainer!
But quickly upon entering her apartment and talking to her no more than two seconds, I realized that there was much more to her wall than met the eye.
Her wall was her story. Her journey. Each item representative of her life. It consisted of hand painted items from family and friends. Plane tickets of her extensive travels around the world. It was simply filled with distant memories that were easily resurrected as she detailed each memory.
Zorana is truly an inspiration! She reminded me why I started this series in the first place! To create a space where I could feature women just like you and me. Women who celebrate life—those who entertain, design, and are oh, so fashionable. But most importantly, those who are inspirational!
So, go ahead and read on! Learn a bit more about Zorana and her fabulousness!
Q. What does being an event fashionista mean to you?
A. An event fashionista means always showcasing your style even when it's different than others. It also means observing the style of those around you and letting it serve as inspiration. You never know what you might see and learn and most importantly actually like! So, be true to yourself!
Q. What best describes your design style? Your fashion style?
A. The best word that describes both my design and fashion style is eclectic. I love to mix different elements together. So, whether it is metals, finishes, textures, I don't discriminate. Color also plays a huge part. I like to give things a pop of color and my fashion is no different. Mixing different colors that normally don't go together or color blocking are definitely two of my favorite things! It's all about living colorfully!
Q. Your go to item when designing a space, your favorite accessory?
A. Mirrors are my IT accessory! Any shape, size, color and/or finish, it really doesn't matter! They truly transform a space in so many different ways. A mirror's reflection can give the illusion of a bigger space. It can also bring the outside in by picking up its surroundings lights and colors {Umm, design tip! Totally incorporating this into my home!}
Q. You're, "oh so fashionable!" What's your favorite fashion tip?
A. Don't hesitate to mix and match different shapes, colors, and textures. Your style is reflection of you and your personality. So, work it!
Q. Advice tidbit for future event fashionistas?
A. Through life, depict your personality. It's the best representation of you!
Come on, share some more!
Q. Your proudest moment?
A. There are so many! But since I have to choose one, I would have to say it is when I moved to U.S. I was eighteen and wanted to experience a different kind of life, culture and language. The truth is I set out to do it, actually did it, and loved it so much that the rest is history!
Q. A fun fact people don't know about you?
A. Hmm….Some would say I'm a hoarder, but I just love to collect things. I get attached to the stories behind these memories and have a hard time parting with them. That's not wrong, right?! {I say absolutely not. Listening to her stories via the memories on her gallery wall was truly a treat. It allowed me to learn so much about her!}
Q. Ultimate guilty pleasure?
A. Now, this is an easy one! A Cuban sandwich from Havana café in SoHo.
Q. Best piece of advice you've ever received?
A. Life is too short, so always look on the bright side. It's a cup half full mentality!
Q. Pick! Pick! Who should be the next Event Fashionista?
A. Marcy Benner , it's your turn! Work it!
Zorana, it was a true pleasure to meet you! I am so glad I was able to learn your story. Thanks for all the tips you shared and those amazing crepes! We must do it all over again, but next time over a glass of wine! Cheers to you!!

New Interactive Bible for Children
A popular interactive German-language Bible developed in Austria is about to become available in English. I tend to prefer the "old school" way of introducing things to children through books, but this CD-Rom program does seem promising in an ever increasingly technological world.
The three CD-ROMs each contain a 20-minute cartoon movie by Graz-based painter Tom Klengel, with a toolbar that can be accessed at any time. The toolbar features background info, maps and a big illustrated children's Bible encyclopaedia with 200 items.
The corresponding Bible passages are included in their original version, a version for kids from eight to 11 and one for small children that is read by a narrator.
The interactive Bible also includes small educational games. In "Loading the Donkey" the child has to choose only objects that already existed in biblical times to put on the donkey. There is also a memory game, as well as a quiz, a puzzle and painting templates.
Angerer said: "The project has been approved by Catholic, Protestant and Greek orthodox dignitaries. To me it is important that Christians connect with each other; that's why I am especially proud that the project is supported by all three denominations." read more

After DAA, HCC developed in 29 patients (single nodule, 18 and multinodular, 11). Median interval between therapy end and HCC diagnosis was 82 days (0–318). Forty-one HCC nodules were detected (14 de novo, 27 recurrent): maximum diameter was 10–20 mm in 27, 20–50 mm in 13, and > 50 mm in 1. Imaging features of MVI were present in 29/41 nodules (70.7%, CI: 54–84), even in 17/29 nodules with 10–20 mm diameter (58.6%, CI: 39–76). MVI was present in only 17/51 HCC nodules that occurred before DAA treatment (33.3%, CI: 22–47) (p= 0.0007). MVI did not correlate with history of previous HCC.
HCC occurs rapidly after DAA therapy, and aggressive features of MVI characterise most neoplastic nodules. Close imaging evaluations are needed after DAA in cirrhotic patients.
Key Points
• In HCV cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma develops soon after direct-acting antiviral therapy.
• HCC presents imaging features of microvascular invasion, predictive of more aggressive progression.
• Cirrhotic patients need aggressive and close monitoring after direct-acting antiviral therapy.

- "I will not fail the empress."
- —Bladedancer
The Bladedancers are a common enemy encountered in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
Official Description
- "The Bladedancers are lithe, clever and seductive--- a devastating combination. Destined to serve the Empress, they now patrol the narrow walkways and crossbeams of the palace, keeping its upper levels secure and free from invaders. They are extremely devious, often dancing away from opponents before letting loose with a volley of razor-sharp disc-blades. After distracting their prey, Bladedancers often vault back into battle and cause damage with fierce melee combat."
- —Official Booklet Description[1]
Bladedancers are lithe, agile, seductive fighters. As servants of the Empress of Time, they patrol the higher levels of the palace. They can easily outmaneuver the Prince, dodge his attacks, and then counter with their own. They are dressed in red tunics and parts of plate armor. They also have the ability to confront the Prince as he crosses narrow beams. They can also run on the walls after the Prince in attempts to knock him down and kill him.
The Bladedancers have a weakness in their midsections, so attacks to that area of their bodies will be more lethal, sometimes instantly fatal. They carry smaller weapons, usually daggers. Trying to attack them by jumping on them will be instantly countered.
They are able to jump from behind and grab onto the Prince's back, then stab him for considerable damage. When the Prince gets far enough away from them, they will jump up and out of sight, but will jump down again once approached.
- Sometimes Bladedancers will repeat one of Shahdee's battle taunts instead of their own.
- Some lines spoken by the Bladedancers suggest they take pleasure in being harmed by the Prince.[2]

A Jackleg Cabin is generally a term used to describe a timber framed portable cabin with metal "Jack Legs". These legs act as a secure lifting point and act as adjustable legs for use in particular on uneven surfaces as they prevent the cabin from moving or sliding. They can also act as a secure fixing point if you need to stack cabins.
These Jacklegs are mainly designed and used for movement and are not normally a permanent feature if the fixing of the cabin is meant to be a permanent one. If the cabin is meant to be in position for a long time then we recommend that jacklegs are used.


text: I filled a low area [over 500 cu.yds.] and seeded on 9/27 and now have a beautiful stand of lush green. Had our first heavy rains last week which clearly showed up my low spots. I have two which are about 4-5' wide by about 8-10' long and about 4" deep at the center, with a couple smaller ones here and there. All in all I'm not too unhappy with my grading job considering the confined area I had to work in and time constraints. If it was a pasture I wouldn't even be asking this question, but it's a play/soccer field for the kids so... Should I start now with a layer of sand and topsoil and gradually bring the spots up to level over the winter, repeating this process several times. I would place only enough material for the growing grass to push through each time [we get slow growth most of the winter here unless a cold spell hits] OR wait until spring and just fill and grade to finish level and reseed then? I've also thought of filling in and topping with sod in the spring, but I'm not sure I can match the look and the new sod would stand out in the new rye. It's not an option to drive on the new grass yet, but I can walk on it ok [soil too soft for tractor or mule]. The low spots have drained and the grass looks OK there now but they're holding too much water to just leave them. Thanks for any suggestions. Will M.

"We're Trapped, Help!": Toddler Starts Deadly Bronx Fire…Kills 12
The time between Christmas and New Year's is supposed to be happy, and hopeful. But now, several NYC families are dealing with the worst catastrophe imaginable.
A 101-year old, 5-story walk up on Prospect Avenue, one block from the Bronx Zoo, is the site of the deadliest fire in the city in 27 years.
And it was all because--officials and Mayor Bill de Blasio suspect--a 3-year-old boy was playing with a stove.
His mother escaped with him and his sibling, but when she left the door open...the fire quickly exited her apartment and traveled up the stairs where it got to all the other apartments. (Remember: Fires need air to grow! If you shut the door to where a fire is, you can at least slow it down.)
Thierno Diallo, a resident who lives in a ground floor apartment, told USA Today he was asleep when he heard frantic banging on his door. "Only when I heard people screaming, 'There's a fire in the building!'" did he realize it was an emergency. He ran out into the freezing night in his bathrobe, a jacket and sandals.
"The smoke was crazy, people screaming, 'Get out!," a witness, Jamal Flicker, told the New York Post. "I heard a woman yelling, 'We're trapped, help!"
The 12 confirmed fatalities make this fire the deadliest in the City since an inferno at the Happy Land social club killed 87 people in 1990, The New York Times reported.
The New York Police Department says children who died in this fast-moving fire include girls ages 1, 2 and 7, and a boy whose age was not given. It's not been stated, but we assume the boy who started the fire survived, along with his sibling and mom. An estimated 8 adults are dead. At least 7 people remain hospitalized, some in critical condition.
Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro called the fire "historic in its magnitude." More than 170 New York City firefighters responded to the emergency. "Our hearts go out to every person who lost a loved one here and everyone who is fighting for their lives," he said.
The company that owns the New York City apartment building says it is "shocked and saddened" by the tragedy.
Here's a timeline of how it began and what happened in the aftermath.
Photos and video of the devastation were released today, showing icicles clinging to the charred remains of the building—a grim display of fire-and-ice, as the fire raged on one of the coldest nights of the year. Those who didn't lose their lives have lost their homes. Just horrible.
If you're able, there's are ways to help those devastated by this terrible tragedy.

After reading this article: Was Occupy Wallstreet A PR Failure? I have begun to wonder about how successful social movements are sustained and in what ways Public Relations can keep a movement going.
What happens after the initial excitement dies down? How do you keep your message alive?
These are important questions to consider for any PR campaign. The evaluation process is critical in order to learn from the challenges and move forward with your messaging; maybe even into a new direction.
At the end of the article, the author asks readers to consider, "Beyond political affiliations, what are your thoughts on the history and management of the Occupy movement? From a public image perspective, what do supporters need to do to continue pushing their message–and to make sure that message leads to real political action?"
Analyzing the Occupy movement is interesting because on its website, Occupy Wall Street (OWS) describes itself as a "leaderless resistance movement" drawn from people of all backgrounds and political persuasions. Without leadership, it is difficult to maintain a clear and consistent message. Critics argue that the OWS agenda was largely incoherent. The movement itself did not attempt to advance its ideas into mainstream American, nor did it attempt to push the political agenda in any direction. What it did do was spark a movement that spread across North America and challenged the public to discuss income equality and the damaging effects of wide-scale financial criminal activity.
The movement has not been sustained. With no clear message, no leadership, no real agenda, and no champion to follow, the Occupy movement has dwindled away, out of the public eye, and out of our minds.
In order for the ideologies of the movement to be maintained, the core structure must change. Leadership needs to be established from within the movement in order to gain credibility. Spokespeople need to stand up and partnerships need to be formed with other organizations that stand for the same values. It will take a lot more work to move the Occupy movement into a new direction, towards political action. The final step would be to elect a certifiable political candidate.
The strength of any movement depends on the people and the message behind it.

Beauty salons have a habit of doing well, even in economic downturns. According to one study by Mintel, only 1 in 10 women cut back on their salon spending in the most recent recession. But why? Experts think it has something to do with the fact that people are unwilling to give up their creature comforts. We saw a similar thing in the restaurant business. Most people thought that the restaurant business would suffer as a result of falling wages and incomes. But it turned out that what people wanted during the bad times was a relatively cheap indulgence.
It seems, therefore, that there's never been a better time to invest in starting your own hair salon business. But before you dive right in, there are some things that you need to know.
What Does It Cost?
As with many business ventures, you need to be willing to sink a lot of money into a salon to get it up and running. Your main cost will be the cost of employing staff, which could run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Then there's the issue of equipment financing. And you'll have to fork out to pay the rent on commercial premises. Finally, you'll have to model the interior so that it looks like a genuine salon.
Thus, to get a top-notch salon off the ground, you're looking at an initial investment of more than $250,000.
You could, however, require additional money, depending on the type of equipment you plan to use. Sauna treatments, for instance, will cost a lot more than a simple cut and dry.
How Much Can You Earn As An Owner?
The first few years in the salon business can be tough. Almost no salons enter profitability in the first year. And most don't start making money until their third or fourth years.
Once you become established, however, everything changes. The Himalayan Day Spa estimates that the profit margin for a typical service is around 65 percent. Many salon owners can bring in around $450 per day.
How much you earn over the long term depends on how successful you are in retaining your customers. Small salons are likely to see around 125 customers per week.
How Much Should You Charge?
The world of salon products has changed dramatically over the last few years. In the past, massages were the most commonly chosen product. But they've since been replaced by pedicures as the number one treatment. The nail industry is huge right now, according to leading analysts from BABTEC. Interest in products in the salon are driven by editorials in popular women's magazines. Thus, salon owners should keep an eye out for the latest magazine trends and market to that.
A simple manicure can cost anywhere from $25 all the way up to $60 for a French manicure. Eyebrow threading starts at $25. Full face and body tans begin at $40. Facial cleansing starts at $90 and Swedish massage from $100.
These prices, of course, will vary depending on your region. If you're located in a big city like New York, your prices will be on the higher side.

I am a political scientist and statistician who studies race, politics, and the criminal justice system. I am currently a Research Scientist at the Center for Policing Equity in New York City. Starting in July of 2019, I will begin as an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies at the University of Toronto.
My research: 1) argues that defining characteristics of contemporary police policy can be understood as derivatives of larger changes in municipal political economy, such as gentrification and the suburbanization of poverty, 2) characterizes the effect police policy can have on political behavior, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities and, 3) explores the extent to which the relationships it identifies between municipal political economy, policing, race, and political behavior are unique to the United States or generalize to other national contexts, such as Britain.
In other projects, I explore the politics of homelessness in American cities and suburbs and compare the political consequences of racial group consciousness in the United States, Europe, and Latin America.

More bribery charges have been laid against former executives of a Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) subsidiary.
Former Note Printing Australia (NPA) chief executive John Leckenby and three colleagues have been accused of bribing public officials in Nepal's central bank between October 2001 and April 2003.
Leckenby, 68, Barry Brady, 64, Peter Hutchinson, 62 and Steven Wong, 57, were charged with conspiring to offer a benefit to another person with the intention of influencing a foreign public official in a bid to obtain or retain business with the Nepal Rastra Bank.
In Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday, Chief Magistrate Peter Lauritsen remanded the men to appear for a committal mention on April 29.
Leckenby, Brady and Hutchinson were also charged with making a false invoice for $260,000 in February 2003.
The three former executives are also facing separate charges related to a conspiracy to bribe public officials at central banks in Malaysia and Indonesia in a bid to secure contracts to make plastic banknotes.
It is alleged executives from NPA and Securency, another RBA subsidiary, paid multi-million-dollar commissions to middlemen with connections to high-ranking public officials at the banks.
NPA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the RBA.

...this week is our local postie. Look at the treasures she safely delivered.
Another super stylish Japanese Craft book. Can't wait to make a start of some of the beautiful projects.
A box filled to the brim with notions and fabrics from the 1920's-40's.
Look, look, LOOK! Don't they just make you swoon? Thank you Donna. You have flawless taste in fabrics.
A fabulous print entitled 'Meg' by the ultra talented Francesca. I wanted to send her a piece of my work and she suggested that we turn it into a swap. Lucky me!
My new business cards that I simply adore. I would show you the reverse but it has my website address on it that you know, isn't quite ready yet. Will it ever be I hear you ask?!
So, now you can understand why my post lady has brought a smile to my face this week.
Extra wide smiles appeared today as I enjoyed brunch with Mr TS. Mmmm, fruit platter with vanilla dipping yoghurt.
He also treated me to the most gorgeous necklace by the equally gorgeous Davina Ewing.
Check out her site for some inspiring creations.
Until next time...

Java Mail is eminently adaptable. Indeed, looking at its API, we find that it helps us provide an alternative solution to an old problem: how to transfer large amounts of data between two enterprise applications. In this article, you will discover how to adapt Java Mail to play the role of a data carrier.
The foundation classes of the core of Java Mail deal with connection and authentication. The remaining three classes form the layer that deals with transportation of the mail and data. These classes are:
Without much ado, here are the details.
The Message class represents an email message. Each message is tightly coupled with a session. This is done by passing an object of the Session class. But the Message class is abstract. Hence to work with the Message class, its concrete subclass has to be used -- the MimeMessage class. A MimeMessage represents an email message that can understand MIME types and headers. As stated earlier, a message is coupled with a session by passing a Session object to the Message class. So to create an object, the MimeMessage class passes an object of the Session class to a constructor of MimeMessage, thus:
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
In the real world messages can be both plain as well as HTML flavored. To achieve this end, Java Mail provides Part and MimePart interfaces, which have been implemented by Message and MimeMessage respectively. To start working with Message, the next thing to do after retrieving an object is to set the content type. That is done by calling the setContent() method of the Message object. The setContent() method takes two parameters -- content and MIME type - in the form of Strings. In code it would be:
message.setContent("Hello", "text/plain");
Since most of the time the object of MimeMessage would be used, just calling setContent() with the content as the default value for MIME type in this case means text/plain only. Similarly, the subject of the message can also be set using the setSubject() method of the Session object.
The message has been written. What is needed to send it? An address. The Address class encapsulates an Internet address. Again this class is abstract. So one must work with the InternetAddress class, which is a concrete subclass of the Address class. To get an object of the InternetAddress class, pass the receiver's address to the constructor as shown:
Address address= new InternetAddress(firstname.lastname@example.com);
To show the name of the user as well, pass it as the second argument:
Address address= new InternetAddress(firstname.lastname@example.com,Raj);
The next query that should arise is how are Address and Message objects connected? The answer is through the methods of the Message class. The Message class has three methods: setFrom(), setReplyTo() and addFrom(). The first two methods accept an object of Address class as parameter whereas the last one takes an array of Address. For example,
sets the address of the message to email@example.com. Now to actually send the message, the recipient's address has to be provided to the message. This is done using the addRecepient() method. It takes recipient type and address as parameters. The recipient type is one of the following-
Message.RecipientType.TO Message.RecipientType.CC Message.RecipientType.BCC
The address is an object of Address class. So to send a message to Mr. Raj whose email-id is firstname.lastname@example.com, the code would be :
Address address= new InternetAddress(email@example.com,Raj);message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
This is the last of the core classes. It deals with transmission of messages. Like the Message and Address classes, Transport is also an abstract class. This class communicates with the server in protocol specific language for sending the message. Generally, the protocol is SMTP. The easiest way to send message is to use the send() method of the Transport class, like this:
But this is not the best of methods. The reason is that whenever the send() method is used, it creates a separate connection for each method call. The better way to send multiple messages is:
message.saveChanges(); // implicit with send()Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");transport.connect(host, username, password);transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());transport.close();
The trick is to get a specific object of Transport for the current session and connect to the server. Then send the message using sendMessage() method and close the connection. What happens here is that, by calling Transport particular to a session, the connection to the server is kept alive. Hence creating a new connection for each send request is avoided.
So thats all you need to know about the core classes. Using these classes, a simple to complex emailing environment could be created with ease. But the goal of this discussion is to use the Mail APIs to transfer huge amounts of data. To actually understand the concept of using the Mail API in that way, I will be developing a class that will encapsulate the logic of using the API as data carriers. And that brings us to the next section.
