Meaning of Rakeback

The definition of rakeback has to be understood in two parts. The first is ‘What is rake?’

Rake is a method of how online poker sites earn their income. When individuals play cash games the house gathers a percentage out of each hand. This percentage taken from each player is the income of the game house and this is known as rake.

When an affiliate gives a percentage of the amount collected to its players then it is known as rakeback. Thus rakeback is a means of income to the game house and money got back by players.

JSTL and Expression Language


JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) is a custom tags collection that executes common functionalities in web applications, including iteration and selection, data formatting, XML manipulation and database access. JSTL allows JSP developers to focus on development specific necessities, instead of reinventing the wheel.

JSTL is composed of:

  • An expression language.
  • Standard actions libraries.
  • Validators (2 validators).

What is Expression Language (EL)?

Expression Language is a simple language based on ECMAScript (also known as JavaScript) and XPath. It provides expressions and identifiers and type conversion.

Expression Language makes easier the access to implicit objects, such as request / response servlet, scope variables and stored objects on JSP scope (page, request, session and application). EL reduces drastically the need of using JSP expressions and scriptlets, increasing web applications maintainability and extensibility.

Expressions

EL expressions are invoked with this syntax: ${expression}. Expressions consist of:

  • Identifiers.
  • Operators.

YouTube Redesigns and Moves to Google Accounts



After updating their embeddable player, YouTube experiments with a new layout for the site. The new design places the search box in the center, moves the metadata below the video, makes it easier to rate the video and to find other related videos. There's also an option to embed a video using the old player.

To get the new interface, add &v3 at the end of a YouTube URL, like for this video.


YouTube also added to the homepage a list of videos that are being watched right now using active sharing, cleaned their search results and included a new option to view the results as thumnbnails.

But more importantly, you can now use your Google account to login to YouTube. You can link an existing YouTube account to a Google account or create a new one, but you'll still be able to use your YouTube credentials, so this is more like a temporary solution.


The login page proudly lists YouTube's features:

  • Upload, tag and share your videos worldwide
  • Browse millions of original videos uploaded by community members
  • Find, join and create video groups to connect with people with similar interests
  • Customize your experience with playlists and subscriptions
  • Integrate YouTube with your website using video embeds or APIs

Export Your Google Bookmarks

Google Bookmarks offers a simple way to export your favorite links: as a bookmarks.html that can be imported natively in most browsers. You can also use this to backup your list of links, to view them online or to move them to other bookmarking web services.

To import bookmarks or to easily manage them, you need Google Toolbar. Hopefully, Google will improve the way bookmarks are displayed, integrate the tool with Google Notebook and Google Reader and let you share your links.

Until then, Google Bookmarks is a cool way to bias Google's search results towards your favorite sites...

A Fishhing Story

This is a story related to me by my father when I was small. He said he actually saw this happen in a fish weir, and have never forgot it.

Well, I never forgot it either, but I cannot for the life of me decipher its meaning. Or perhaps I don't see the forest because of the trees?

The following story was embellished a little to make the story a bit more exciting, except that the embellishments are what might have happened had they been witnessed. Anyroad, just read on.

There was once a squid and a black-striped croaker who were caught in a fish weir. After several days of captivity, they were very hungry and saw the other as food. But being of roughly equal size, and both relatively dangerous, they were naturally leery of the surroundings and wary of each other. So they kept an unobtrusive vigil, neither letting its guard down.

For days they circled the confines of the weir, keeping a sharp eye on each other. Finally, the croaker cannot take it anymore and made a sly and purposeful sudden attack. But the squid was alert, squirted some ink, changed color and escaped. The croaker rushed the dark ink anew before it realized the squid was not there anymore. So it prowled the cage again until it spotted the squid camouflaged against a mossy weir post.read more
