Spinning Beachball of Death
Users have been reporting problems viewing the Desktop Image Gallery and its spouse the Visitor Screenshot Gallery using Internet Explorer 5.1 on MacOS X.
Update [May 20]:
Using the lesson's (re)learned in ALA's Practical CSS Layout Tips, there are now two columns of images again.
What Happened:
Both pages caused IE 5.1 (on MacOS X) to lock up.
The Tradeoff:
Whereas before you saw (on a PC or MacOS 9) two images per row, now you will see only one. The pages still look fine, but now there will be more scrolling. Which is bad. Because scrolling is bad. You don't like scrolling. Scrolling is so mid-90's.
The Explanation:
It only takes a single line of mediocre CSS to crash IE 5.1 on MacOS X. (On the PC, IE and Mozilla render the pages correctly, as does Mozilla on the Mac.)
The Moral:
Always check your pages in every browser and on every platform before you go with your wife to the outlet mall.

Hero Royal Navy sailor on way to fight ISIS tragically killed in car smash
A ROYAL Navy sailor tragically died on his way to fighting IS in Syria - after being hit by a car as his ship stopped off in Malta, an inquest heard.
Leading Engineering Technician Simon Allen, 30, from Wigan, Greater Manchester, died on September 13 after the accident in a town west of the Maltese capital Valletta.
Hero LET Allen was sailing aboard the HMS Daring which had stopped off on the Mediterranean island as the ship made its way to a deployment in the Middle East.
As Maltese police investigate, an inquest into his death has now been opened and adjourned at Bolton Coroners Court pending further enquiries.
His family have so far been too devastated to speak about his sudden death.
"The man was assisted by a medical team and taken to Mater Dei Hospital where he was certified dead shortly after"Maltese police
A spokesman for The Royal Navy said: "LET Allen's next of kin have been informed and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this difficult time.
"Police in Malta are investigating the incident. It would be inappropriate for us to discuss any further at this time."
It is believed that LET Allen was hit by a car in Msida, a harbour town west of Valletta.
Emergency services were called at about 1am and Mr Allen was taken to hospital where he later died.
A statement by Maltese police said: "A 30-year-old English man has unfortunately lost his life in Triq Mikiel Anton Vassalli, in Msida.
"Preliminary police investigations found that the man was hit by a Peugeot 508 driven by a 42-year-old residing in Bormla.
"The vehicle was being driven in the direction from Msida to Santa Venera.
"The man was assisted on site by a medical team and later taken to Mater Dei Hospital where he was certified dead shortly after.
"Duty magistrates were informed about the case and appointed an inquiry. District police are investigating the case."
HMS Daring left Portsmouth on Friday, September 2, , with a 190-strong crew, for a nine-month deployment to the Persian Gulf in the fight against Daesh.
The Type 45 destroyer has been tasked with providing air defence for French and US aircraft carriers as they continue to launch attacks against the so-called Islamic State, over Iraq and Syria.
The Portsmouth based vessel is an air defence destroyer, and is 151 metres long and weighs 8000 tonnes.
Its mission involves using its sophisticated radar and missile systems to protect US aircraft carriers as they launch strikes in Iraq and Syria.
The vessel will also be responsible for protecting the Royal Navy's annual deployment to the Middle East.
Speaking about the deployment prior to the tragedy, the ship's commanding officer, commander Philip Dennis, said: "HMS Daring has been through intense training to be in a position to take on this deployment and I am proud of my ship's company for all their hard work in getting to this state of readiness.
"We will be sailing in support of an important task and we take up the reins of this mission from a host of Royal Navy ships which have gone before us.
"We look forward to following on from their hard work and success."

Since 1999 when Irregular Choice began, Brighton-based shoe designer Dan Sullivan has created worldwide waves that have shipwrecked the conventions of footwear and redefined good taste.
This September, Irregular Choice are striding north from Brighton Beach to the ancient market town of Horsham to share their magical story in their first museum-based exhibition. Admission Free!!
The stunning display will reveal to hard core fans and the fantastical footwear-curious just why worldwide mega brands such as Disney want to work with them, and why celebrities such as Whoopi Goldberg have shoe rooms dedicated to their Irregular Choice collections. The exhibition will rock the rather more traditional world of Horsham footwear and promises to provide a dazzling counterpoint to the museum's own historic footwear collection.
Irregular Choice was founded in 1999 by creative and entrepreneurial mastermind Dan Sullivan. Brought up in the footwear industry, Dan felt that customers wanted something different and fun, but at affordable prices.Dan's aim was to create an exceptional offering of fashion shoes with the emphasis on funky Irregular designs. He created Irregular Choice as a reason to stand out from the crowd!
All designing is still done by Dan Sullivan himself to ensure that the styles remain fresh and unique to the vision Dan has for the brand.
He works with the 3,000 year old traditions of Chinese craftsmen and women in embellishing the ordinary to make the extraordinary - turning a daily necessity into the magical. Each year, he creates around 600 different styles, and has a back catalogue of over 10,000 styles. He has personally selected some of his favourites to take you on his Irregular journey through the years to the present day.
Owning over 300 pairs of shoes dating back to the 17th century, Horsham Museum & Art Gallery wanted to give their comparatively humble shoe exhibition a modern take. They asked and Irregular Choice were delighted to be able to tell their fascinating story – a story driven by Dan's philosophy, Recapture your freedom which eloped with your youth.
The exhibition Irregular Choice's Ethereal Dream: stepping out with the Irregular Choice archive will include not only examples of some of the earliest Irregular Choice shoes, but also original sketches and elements of the design process telling the story of a shoe's journey from its conception in Dan's uniquely creative mind to fruition.

No way can, or would, ANYONE, of either party, try to take away your 401k or IRA money!__________________________In honesty, the above statement is absolutely true. They will NEVER take away the 401K money. They will control in and make it into annuities and reduce Social Security by some percent based on your holding in these accounts, demand it be invested in Treasury Securites for Your own goodand a legion more of steps that take it from YOUR control and put it in theirs as well as hit the survivor pass alongBut they will never take your 401kI think we have a lot of idiots that think that their long term savings are safe. These same idiots thought Koyoto was going to do someone in the US some good, they though their overage was safer under ObamaCare, they think that the sequester is actually going to mean government spending is not going to increase even when it is implemented. These folks are idiots. But sometimes they are right. Your 401k will not ever be taken from you, though it will certainly feel as if it isUnless of course, we get rid of Obama and anyone stupid enough to have followed his course. These lowlifes and the idiots that vote for them are dangerous.

Mary Kay is one of the most popular beauty multi-level marketing companies in the world.
When it comes to cosmetics direct sales, Mary Kay is almost #1 (we see you, Avon).
Shoot, when it comes to MLM, they're almost #1 with all the other "big daddys" (up there with Herbalife, Amway…)
So is Mary Kay a thing of the past or should you get involved?
Product-wise, they're great. They're classic.
Business opportunity-wise, there are much better out there.
Either way, here's the full review on Mary Kay.
In case you don't fully understand the level of dominance this MLM has reached, here are a few stats for you…
Direct Selling News ranks them as the #5 MLM…in the entire world.
They're in the billion dollar club, and not only that, but their annual revenue for 2016 was $3.5 billion. For some perspective, direct selling GIANTS Herbalife were at $4.5 billion.
Mary Kay has been around for over 50 years, and they've got a mega sales army of over 3.5 million Independent Beauty Consultants.
This MLM has created a worldwide name for themselves and has made countless millionaires out of women all around the globe. Not only that, but they also share the wealth through a number of charitable organizations. The Mary Kay Foundation, their charity arm, has a couple humble goals….to cure cancer and end domestic violence. All in a day's work, you know.
So, there's no question. Mary Kay is one of the biggest, most successful MLMs out there.
But hold up, wait a minute, don't start dreaming about that rose-colored Caddy just yet.
How much does Mary Kay cost? In order to become a Mary Kay consultant, you must purchase a $100 starter kit. Then, in order to remain active and qualified for the commission plan, you have to sell at least $200 in product every 3 months.
We all know what they sell – beauty products. But are they any good? What makes them so special?
First of all, their products aren't tested on animals, which is huge nowadays.
They've spent years testing, researching, and developing cosmetics, so you know their products are top notch. These aren't just trending favorites, they're time-tested, proven favorites. Seriously, their product development team is the size of some small countries.
They've also got more than just makeup and skincare, although that's where their products are focused. But you'll also find body products, fragrances, and men's products.
Some of their best-sellers include Lash Love Mascara, their TimeWise 3-in-1 cleanser, their Mary Kay eyeliner, and their Mineral Powder Foundation. They've also released a new line of skincare products called Clear Proof that have been doing really well.
On top of that, their products are very reasonably priced. Compared to most major cosmetics brands, Mary Kay is considered affordable, even cheap. Most of their top products are around $12-$18.
Compensation Plan
When you buy into becoming a Pink Lady, you automatically get the title of Independent Beauty Consultant. If you sell well, you can move up to Independent Sales Director and National Sales Director. This is where the money's at.
We all know the peons at the bottom of the pyramid don't make good money…or any money at all. This is especially true of organizations as big and reputable as Mary Kay. They bring in a lot of money, sure, but the longer they stick around, the harder it gets to move to the top.
Anyway, the start up kit provides you with some materials to start – a business announcement eCard, a custom color look, 40% off a business kit (which you're going to need if you're serious), and 50% off Mary Kay product purchased online.
Yep, you read that right. 50% off. That means you purchase product at half price, re-sell it for full price. For folks that can count, that's a 50% commission rate on personal sales. One of the best in the business.
Once you move up in rank, you can start earning 4% on the sales of your downline. If you keep shooting toward the sky, you could reach as high as 13% commission on sales that other people are making for you. Not bad at all.
Now, I know what you're thinking. But how do I get the free pink car?
This is how their most successful distributors rope in new team members time and time again. They show up to Becky's engagement party in their shiny new Mary Kay Caddy, and eventually one of Becky's friends asks how she got it. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom, new recruit.
Anyway, I'm going to give you the good new first, then the bad news.
The good news is that all top sales people have the option of getting the pink Cadillac as a bonus if they can reach about $100,000 per year in sales.
The bad news? You have to hit 6 figures in sales. This is not an easy feat, folks. It's going to require a lot of spamming your family and losing all your friends.
The extra bad news? Car bonus incentive programs are basically NEVER a good deal in MLM. If you do somehow manage to sell $100,000 and qualify for the Cadillac, you don't get the car outright – you get a 2 year lease with Mary Kay paying your monthly lease payments for you. However, if you fall below that requirement, Mary Kay stops paying off your lease and you're left to shoulder the $800+ monthly payments on your own. It's a good way to rack up some debt.
If you HAVE to join an MLM and you're really into makeup, Mary Kay is an obvious choice. They've churned out loads of successful sales women.
That being said, for every successful sales woman they made, they made 100 women go into debt buying product they weren't able to sell.
Yes, Mary Kay might be killing it…for direct sales. But if it's money you're chasing, there's other stuff out there.
If it's financial freedom you seek and you like automated ways to build passive income, there are better ways.

Fortuño: Puerto Ricans In U.S. Shouldn't Have A Say On Statehood, But Congress Needs To Act
Puerto Ricans living in the U.S. should not be allowed to vote on the island's potential change of status from U.S. commonwealth to the 51st state, the island's former governor, Luis Fortuño, told Fox News Latino in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview in which he made it clear leaders in Washington have no excuses to take a final, definitive vote on the island's future status.
"This is a state's rights issue and at the end of the day Puerto Rico should follow states rules and laws in determining who votes where," Fortuño said. "Normally, you vote in only one state or jurisdiction and that's where you reside, so if you move to Florida you should vote in Florida not in Puerto Rico and vice versa."
There are more Puerto Ricans living on the U.S. mainland -- nearly 5 million -- than in the island, which has 3.7 million people, according to the Pew Research Center.
The once-rising Republican darling, a leading proponent of the island becoming a state, said it would be a "major disappointment" if Congress does not act on the statehood issue within the next year or two and thinks President Barack Obama needs to take more of a leadership role on the matter.
He said the president, who has pushed for referendum votes on the island that essentially carry no political weight, has "taken the easy way out" by not strongly pushing for a Congressional vote.
"I would love to see the White House get behind the bill. This would require presidential leadership," he said. "I believe the White House will have to lead this effort because that's the way it has happened in some of the other previous territories that became states."
The former Republican governor lost his re-election bid last November but that has not kept him from promoting the pro-statehood agenda, primarily in the form of a House resolution that would issue a final unprecedented yes or no statehood referendum vote in Puerto Rico.
Fortuño said that the issue of statehood needs to finally be resolved by Congress, who should act on the bill either this year or next because "we cannot live in limbo forever."
"If that were not to happen, certainly, it would be a major disappointment," he said. "The bill has 120 co-sponsors and it is a bipartisan bill. This is an American issue. It is not a Puerto Rican issue."
Fortuño also had choice words for Puerto Rican members of Congress who are against statehood, such as Reps. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Nydia Velazquez (D-NY). They wrote a letter to Congress in July calling the legislation "flawed" because it "would force a federally sanctioned vote in which making Puerto Rico the 51st State would be the only option on the ballot."
The move prompted a snarky reaction from the former governor.
"If they think what we have is so nice and so positive, why don't they move down to the island?" he said.
Fortuño is currently a private corporate lawyer in Washington, D.C., but he ran Puerto Rico for four years during the peak of the recession.
Critics like Julio Ricardo Varela, founder of LatinoRebels.com, think Fortuño is unnecessarily pitting mainland Puerto Ricans with those that live on the island and that every Puerto Rican should have a say on the issue.
"Governor Fortuño once again is putting the cart before the horse," Varela said. "His focus, as well as those of all Puerto Ricans, is to force Congress to pay attention to the status question and make any final vote a binding one. Instead, his pushing for statehood is dividing Puerto Ricans and is yet another example of old-school politics that no longer works on the island."
Fortuño said that if Puerto Rico were a state during his tenure, it would have been "much easier" to help the country recover.
At one point in 2010, Puerto Rico's unemployment rate skyrocketed to 17 percent. In July, the unemployment rate was at about 14 percent.
"We were doing the right thing. I cut our budget by almost 20 percent. I started flattening our tax system and lowering our rates," he said, calling the unemployment number a tragedy.
He said if Puerto Rico were a state, it would be easier to attract investments and global companies that would create thousands of new jobs on the island.
"There are 50 examples as to why states are successful," he said. "And there is one example, Puerto Rico, of why territories are no longer successful."
Puerto Rico has been a territory or commonwealth of the United States for 115 years, and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens by birth since 1917. They pay taxes, Social Security and Medicare for example, but do not pay federal income taxes. Puerto Ricans serve in the U.S. military but they are not allowed to vote for president, and they do not have any votes in the U.S. House or Senate.
The resolution in the House was introduced by Pedro Pierluisi, Puerto Rico's non-voting representative in Congress. The bill was introduced in May after a non-binding referendum vote last November found a majority of Puerto Ricans support statehood.
When Puerto Ricans were asked if they were content with the current commonwealth status, 54 percent voters said no. When they were asked to choose a status, 61 percent chose statehood.
But those who oppose statehood, including Puerto Rico's current governor, Alejandro Garcia Padilla, believe the two-question referendum vote was inconclusive because the status quo was not listed as an option, prompting 500,000 Puerto Ricans to leave the question blank.
Opponents say that makes the referendum vote illegitimate. But Fortuño believes November's vote was "fair," pointing to poll numbers as his proof.
"Had the voters decided they wanted to remain a territory," he said. "Then the second vote would not have happened."

Recycling facilities declining, we could be to blame
KSHBPublished: July 10, 2017
Published: July 10, 2017
The recycling industry is facing an unprecedented amount of challenges. And we all may be partially to blame. The problem of people attempting to recycle non-recyclable items is as pervasive in Kansas City as anywhere else, especially regarding items known as "tanglers," which are long and stringy, and easily get twisted up in other material.

We owe Japan an apology.
Part of Van Halen`s Monday night concert at Hollywood Sportatorium was filmed for Japanese television. It could be just the thing to decrease production over there and devalue the yen.
The show was an embarrassment to a group that includes one of rock `n` roll`s foremost guitar players.
But we must remember this wasn`t just Van Halen, it was the ``Real`` Van Halen with new front man and lead vocalist Sammy Hagar. Former vocalist David Lee Roth went crazy from the heat and was dismissed.
Still, Hagar`s abrasive stage presence and straining, screeching vocals were not the show`s only problems.
This was a concert where nothing seemed to work: The sound mix was abominable, the monster stage production was pointless and excessive and served only to overwhelm the band. Even worse, the group lacked cohesion, each member sounding as if he were playing a different song.
The only respite from all this tedium and overkill were a couple of inventive and inspiring Eddie Van Halen guitar solos. At moments, his playing, especially when using his note-hammering technique, was simply elegant.
But that couldn`t save a show that felt forced and lacked direction.
It seemed as if the Real Van Halen didn`t know what to do without Roth, its former acrobatic king of sarcasm.
It seemed as if the Real Van Halen tried to make people forget about the Unreal Van Halen through razzle and dazzle: Dave`s gone, so let`s use cannons on this tour. Dave`s gone, so let`s use fireworks on this tour. Dave`s gone so Sammy, guitar in hand, will have to do an imitation of Quasimodo and climb a truss to the ceiling and rant and rave and play to the cobwebs. (This was dangerous as well as pointless.)
The band`s lack of imagination and confidence also was highlighted when Hagar brought Miami Dolphin defensive lineman Bob Baumhower onstage to help sing Van Halen`s No. 1 hit, Jump. The towering Baumhower ran all over the stage with Hagar shouting ``Jump`` into a wireless microphone. It wasn`t funny and it wasn`t clever. He should have been shouting ``Hide!``

- 4 Troops of 3 and 2 HQ Tanks
- or 3 Troops of 4 and 2 HQ Tanks
Welcome to Cold War Gamer, a blog I am using to record my Cold War wargaming projects. These range from fictitious Cold War hot projects to historical conflicts that took place around the globe throughout the Cold War era, all modelled and gamed in 20mm. The blog includes links to various resources useful to the Cold War Gamer.
My current projects include: Central Front; British & Soviet. South African Border War; Angolans and South Africans. Soviet Afghan War; Soviets and Afghans

Wargames Unit - British 1980s BG, Armoured Squadron, Cheiftain
I recently completed the fourth tank in my Chieftain Armoured Squadron for my early 1980s British Battle Group. The Models are all from Britannia and use the provided crew figures.
There were a few different Squadron Orbats used by the British over the late Cold War period and at a scale of 1:3 a group of 4 tanks can be used to represent either. The two being:
I believe that 3 troops of 3 and a 3 tank HQ was also trialled but I am not sure if this was ever taken any further. Either way at this scale 4 Vehicles seems an appropriate representation for 12-14 tanks either representing the 4 troops or the three troops and the HQ. Which was used seemed to be at the discretion of the unit Commanding Officer.
The Britannia vehicles come with the Turret baskets pre stowed with a variety of items, in order to provide variety within the unit I have removed this on a number of the vehicles and added covers to the baskets.
The principal stowage added includes Cam Nets, Cam Polls, Bin Bags, and lubricant cans which for various reasons were all common externally stowed items. British vehicle Antenae were all fixed poles on a fairly solid mount so you don't get those rather racy tied back affairs you see on US and Canadian vehicles. Pennants, Rats Tails, Tennis balls and Cyalume sticks on the Antenae were all used as identification markers for command vehicles which as a fashion waxed in and out of vogue throughout the period.
I tend to use these Chieftains generically to represent any of the Marks of vehicle prior to the introduction of Stillbrew Armour from 1986 and TOGs in Chieftain from 1989. They are painted and marked in line with the posts in the reference section. My intent is to use this as a 1:2 Infantry battle group so I have just made the one Squadron. It will be interesting to see how a formation this light in tanks fairs against a Soviet regiment

Just discovered this blog, and it looks great!ReplyDelete
What size of bases do you use under the tanks?Replies
I get all my bases from east ridding miniatures http://shop.eastridingminiatures.co.uk/Delete
they do laser cut MDF bases in various sizes
these are the MBT Base they fit all soviet tanks but not the latest western tanks
MBT Base size is 100mm x 60mm, chieftain, T-72, T-80
Large Tank is 120mm x 60mm
APCs 90mm x 50mm - BMP, M113, FV432, Warrior
I might do a post on it one day :)
looks very nice, I wonder how they'd fare against those soviet tanks as wellReplyDelete
What colour did you use for the base Green?ReplyDelete
The painting and decal guide is under the Review - Model 1/72, Britannia Chieftain link, the quick answer is Vallejo Russian Uniform 924.Delete

Deep in the Grey Labyrinth you have discovered a bowl filled with the Water of Truth. Legend has it that drinking exactly four cups of this illuminating liquid will confer great wisdom and reason upon the imbiber.
But drink one ounce too little and you will lose all wisdom and reason you had to begin with.
Drink one ounce too much and you will gain a week long hangover.
Beside the bowl are, inconveniently, two vessels measuring three and five cups respectively.
Do you have enough reason to measure out exactly four cups without wasting the precious Water?

Medical Geochemistry includes a collection of chapters illustrating "the state of art" in applying geochemical methods to investigate the interactions between geological materials and fluids with humans. Examples include the incorporation and human health effects of inhaling lithogenic materials, the reactivity of biological fluids with geological materials, and the impact on nascent biomineral formation. Biomineralization will be investigated in terms of mineralogy, morphology, bone chemistry, and pathological significance with a focus on the health impacts of "foreign" geological/environmental trace element incorporation.
One contribution will be devoted to particulate matter, the presence of metals and metalloids in the environment, and the possibility of using human hair as a biomarker between environmental/geological exposure and human bioincorporation. Other papers will be focused on the last advances on the analytical methods and instrumentational approaches to investigating the chemistry of biological fluids and tissues.
- Preface
- How trace element contents in bronchoalveolar lavages can probe the human exposure to inhaled particulates
- Geochemistry and Biochemistry - insights into the fate and transport of Pt-based chemotherapy drugs
- Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM) in the Middle East: Toxicity, trans-boundary transport and influence of synoptic conditions
- Reaction path modeling: theoretical aspects and applications
- An observation on the composition of urinary calculi: environment influence

Posted on 07/17/2012 9:08:06 AM PDT by GeorgeWashingtonsGhostEdited on 07/17/2012 9:17:36 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse investigating Barack Obamas presidential eligibility have been promising more major revelations since their March 1 press conference, and now another event has been scheduled to unveil new information.
Arpaio told WND a press conference will be held July 17 at 2:30 p.m. local time at the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office in Phoenix, Ariz. WND will once again provide live Web streaming of the event.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Correct. The enemy to 'call out' is the media. It all starts with THEM, including their selection of OUR Presidential candidates. They have more power than any other group in America. We should stop calling Congress and put our sights on the news media, big time.
Know it's up to redicule, but THE GLOBE is putting the information out. People (His base) are buying it, reading it and believing it. Sooner or later the MSM will fall because they could not quiet everyone.
The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column.
No good to attack or contact the litle guys. They need a job.
We need to get our own people IN top positions the in media....Soros has bought companies. Who on the right would do that?
I have searched for about two hours to see if any other Internet sites will be streaming the conference live and have come up empty, even for radio shows. The http://www.mcsoccp.org site has nothing and links to WND. In fact, everything points to WND, which you must register for and then suffer through pop-up ads. They must have the exclusive. So a play-by-play here would be appreciated. Will it be on this thread? Thanks in advance!
I'm hoping one of the local Phoenix TV stations will have something live. I found this:
Anyone else have an alt site for viewing/listening live?
Please ping me for your review. thanks!

PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is promising major revelations Tuesday when he unveils what hes calling new findings on President Barack Obamas birth certificate.
Arpaio is expected to hold a news conference at 2:30 p.m. You will be able to watch it live on ABC15.com and the ABC15 Mobile app.
Could you ping me also?
Thanks so much!
Good points in your post #91. That just might work.
Super, thank you!
Proverbs 16:18 trumps whatever they've got going on, just a matter of time and timing.
I have this weird scene playing in my head sorta like in Pulp Fiction where Samuel Jackson/Jules Winnfield is going Ezekiel 25:17 on someone, only instead of Jackson/Jules, it's Sheriff Arpaio.
Wow..thanks for this thread and I can't wait
If you're making a ping list, please add me.
Butter, we are up against a lot. Both big political parties and the main stream media do their best to shape "reality" to their viewpoint for millions of people because those people are not engaged, and consequently, are easily manipulated.
thank you..1 hour to go
Hoping for some good news today from Sheriff Joe.
ABC15 Live direct link
Hope it works - don't want to sign in on the other ones
Checking IN!
Those with Twitter and Facebook should post this even out for ALL to see...

I am using TOS 5.6.1. I want to read messages in batches from tMomInput and write it into a file. The max. number of messages in each file should be 25. Could someone please give me some suggestion?
I am able to read one message at a time, but not in batches. Thanks.
So far, there is no "use batch size" in tMomXXX components. Feel free to create a new feature jira issue of DI project on talend bug tracker.
Best regards
Hi Sabrina, thanks for your reply. I tried to achieve this using tLoop as shown below. But since tMomMessageIdList has only "iterate" to connect to another component, when it goes to that iterate, its not coming back to the tLoop iterate. Is there any other way to pull messages from tMomInput as batches?
This is a "thinking outside the box" type solution, but I think this tutorial might help you. Instead of thinking about batching the request, think about batching the output. The tutorial below demonstrates how to write to a different file depending on the data being supplied.
If you were to add some sort of sequence mechanism to your messages, you could quite easily write to a different file every time that sequence reached a max number of messages.
Thanks for your help. I will check that out.
Did this resolve your question? If so can you set it to resolved so that others can benefit from this?
Thanks for your solution. But I got stuck and couldn't make this work. So for now I am sending one message at a time.

Cricket Australia is seeking more details about a proposal from England that the timing of future Ashes tours be changed to avoid a clash with the World Cup, reports said.
David Collier, the chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), said this week he was discussing proposals with his Cricket Australia (CA) counterpart, James Sutherland, and they would soon be putting forward proposals to their respective boards.
Collier said England were "locked in" to their current programme until 2011 because of agreements already in place with other boards.
England are due to host an Ashes series in 2013. Breaking the cycle so the following Ashes in Australia are not held in the same season as the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand could see them played in 2012.
But Collier said clashing with the London Olympics in 2012 would be "suicide" and that the series in England would be shifted forward instead, to 2014.
A CA spokesman said Sutherland will be seeking more details from Collier during the International Cricket Council's (ICC's) meeting in London next month before considering the matter further.
"We talk to the ECB a lot about a range of issues. It is important that we protect the iconic status of the Ashes in the future tours programme," the CA spokesman told Saturday's The Australian newspaper.
The ICC's future tours programme demands that each Test nation plays each other home and away in a six-year cycle.
However, the Ashes continues to operate on its traditional four-year, home-and-away cycle, the same cycle as the World Cup.
"The ICC now holds a major event every year and we have to be sure we fully understand how that will impact on our events," the CA spokesman said.
"In addressing the needs of the modern world it is important that we keep the traditions that cricket is based on by protecting the old."

Shakthi Chidambaram, known for wrapping up his films in record time has already started the sequel to his 2002 hit film Charlie Chaplin at Goa. While Prabhudheva and Nikki Galrani play the lead, Bollywood and Telugu actress Adah Sharma who made her Tamil debut with a small role in STR's Idhu Namma Aalu has been roped in as yet another lead. Shakthi spills the beans about the story of the fun filled sequel.
"Charlie Chaplin's 125th birth anniversary is being celebrated now. Producer T. Siva and I are happy that our comedy entertainer in his name will be a tribute to him. The story starts with Prabhudheva and Nikki Galrani's wedding at Tirupathi.
The families of the couple are on their way to the venue. Unexpected incidents that take place during their journey and what follows when they reach Tirupathi forms the rest. It is narrated in a hilarious manner."
Adah Sharma who has already started shooting for a song alongside Prabhudheva in Goa seems to be excited. She states that she would be performing a lot of dance sequences alongside the dancing legend.

The proposed regulation would require covered financial institutions to maintain watch-list-filtering and transaction-monitoring programs.
On December 16, 2015, the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) proposed a new anti-money laundering (AML) regulation to address terrorist financing, sanctions violations and money laundering activities. The proposed regulation would require covered financial institutions to maintain watch-list-filtering and transaction-monitoring programs. Additionally, an institution's chief compliance officer (CCO) or equivalent would be required to file an annual certification of compliance with the NYDFS.
The proposed rule has a 45-day notice and public comment period that will end on February 1, 2016, after which a final rule will be issued.
Why Now?
In the press release that accompanied the publication of the NYDFS's proposed rule, Governor Andrew Cuomo said, "Money is the fuel that feeds the fire of international terrorism. Global terrorism networks simply cannot thrive without moving significant amounts of money through the world."
The last few years have seen a significant uptick in New York state law enforcement and regulatory investigations into financial institutions for violations of AML or Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) compliance. The NYDFS conducted a four-year investigation into terrorism financing, sanctions violations and AML compliance at financial institutions. The NYDFS uncovered what it believes to be shortcomings in the transaction-monitoring and filtering programs of financial institutions and a lack of robust governance, oversight and accountability at the senior levels of those institutions. The proposed rule is in direct response to those concerns.
The proposed regulation would cover a number of entities that are currently subject to NYDFS regulation, including all banks, trust companies, private bankers, savings banks and savings and loan associations chartered pursuant to the New York Banking Law and all branches and agencies of foreign banking corporations licensed to conduct banking operations in New York. These entities are already subject to broad, risk-based federal AML rules issued by the federal banking regulators and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
Additionally, the rule also covers nonbank regulated institutions, including check cashers and money transmitters licensed in New York. These nonbank entities are subject to federal rules that apply to "money services businesses," which are comparable to, but not identical to, the federal AML requirements that banks are required to follow.
Interestingly, the proposed regulation would not cover other entities, such as New York-licensed insurance companies or persons subject to the New York "BitLicense" regulations. Federally chartered depository institutions are also exempt.
Federal AML Requirements vs. the Proposed Regulation
The federal AML rules allow for flexibility for institutions and do not specify the particular steps that the institutions must take to identify suspicious activities or sanctions targets. Instead, the federal AML rules require each financial institution to implement AML programs that are reasonably designed to satisfy their requirements, based on each individual financial institution's specific money laundering risk.
This proposed regulation adds an additional level of specificity to the existing AML framework. It does so by detailing the required characteristics of watch-list-filtering and transaction-monitoring programs. Importantly, the proposed regulation does not seek to change any of the federal AML reporting requirements, but instead requires covered institutions to construct and maintain monitoring systems with distinct features.
The proposed regulation also adds an additional requirement, not present in the federal requirements, that holds compliance executives accountable through the certification and attestation requirements.
Transaction-Monitoring and Filtering Program Requirements
Under the proposed regulation, covered institutions would be required to maintain a watch-list-filtering program and a transaction-monitoring program. These requirements work in tandem to first prevent transactions that are prohibited by applicable sanctions — including Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and other sanctions lists, politically exposed persons lists, and internal watch lists — and second to monitor transactions, after their execution, for potential "BSA/AML violations and Suspicious Activity Reporting" as required by federal law.
Many of these requirements are already being complied with by a vast majority of financial institutions as part of their AML programs required by federal law. However, the proposal does contain some additional state-specific requirements that may require changes to existing AML programs as detailed below.
Watch-List-Filtering Program
Each regulated institution would be required to maintain a watch-list-filtering program that is based on the risk assessment of the institution and that utilizes watch lists that reflect current legal and regulatory requirements. At a minimum, the program must include the following attributes:
- Be based on technology for matching names and accounts
- Include end-to-end, pre-implementation and post-implementation testing of the watch-list-filtering program, including data mapping, an evaluation of whether the watch lists and threshold-setting map to the risks of the institution, the logic of matching technology or tools, model validation, and data input and watch-list-filtering program output
- Be subject to ongoing analysis to assess the logic and performance of the technology or tools for matching names and accounts, as well as the watch lists and the threshold settings to see if they continue to map the risks of the institution
- Include easily understandable documentation that articulates the intent and the design of the program tools or technology.
Transaction-Monitoring and Filtering Program
Each regulated institution would be required to institute a transaction-monitoring and filtering program that, at a minimum, requires the following:
- Identification of all data sources that contain relevant data
- Validation of the integrity, accuracy and quality of data to ensure that accurate and complete data flows through the transaction-monitoring and filtering program
- Data extraction and loading processes to ensure a complete and accurate transfer of data from its source to automated monitoring and filtering systems, if automated systems are used
- Governance and management oversight, including policies and procedures governing changes to the transaction-monitoring and filtering program to ensure that changes are defined, managed, controlled, reported and audited
- Vendor-selection process if a third-party vendor is used to acquire, install, implement or test the transaction-monitoring and filtering program or any aspect of it
- Funding to design, implement and maintain a transaction-monitoring and filtering program that complies with the regulations
- Qualified personnel or outside consultants responsible for the design, planning, implementation, operation, testing, validation and ongoing analysis of the transaction-monitoring and filtering program, including automated systems if applicable, as well as case management, review and decision-making with respect to generated alerts and potential filings
- Periodic training of all stakeholders.
Of note, the proposed rule would also prohibit a regulated institution from making changes or alterations to its transaction-monitoring program or watch-list-filtering program to avoid or minimize the filing of suspicious activity reports or because the institution does not have the resources to review the number of alerts generated by the program.
Annual Certification
Modeled on the officer certifications under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2012, the proposed regulation includes a more burdensome certification requirement. The proposed rule requires each regulated institution to submit an annual certification executed by the institution's CCO or functional equivalent. The certification must include an attestation from the CCO that "to the best of their knowledge," the institution's filtering and monitoring programs are in compliance with the requirements of the proposed rule. Additionally, the CCO must certify the he or she has personally reviewed, or caused to be reviewed, those programs.
Penalties for Noncompliance
One of the most controversial aspects of the proposed regulation is the criminal penalty for a CCO who files an incorrect or false annual certification. The proposed rule does not provide or define the standard of intent for the criminal penalty.
In addition to the personal criminal liability that would applied for CCOs, regulated entities that fail to meet the requirements of the proposed regulation could be subject to all applicable penalties under the New York Banking or Financial Services Law. Those penalties are potentially significant when you consider that, over the last few years, the NYDFS has penalized or fined several institutions more than $100 million for AML and sanctions violations.
Effective Date
The proposed regulation, if finalized, would be effective immediately and apply to all "state fiscal years" beginning April 1, 2016.
Pepper Points
- Some of the largest and most complex banking institutions in the world may havedifficulty explaining to a bank examiner, in easily understandable documentation, the design of the program tools and technology that implement real-time AML systems as required by the proposed regulation.
- The federal AML rules that financial institutions must also follow do not specify the exact steps that financial institutions must take to identify the actual suspicious activity. Instead, the AML rules require implementation of AML programs reasonably designed to satisfy their requirements, based on the institution's money laundering risk. Additionally, those federal rules do not require any individual at the financial institutions to certify, under threat of criminal penalty, that they have implemented the procedures required. The NYDFS does not seem to believe these flexible standards are sufficient, and the proposed regulation would require institutions to maintain systems with specific features.
- The NYDFS has been open to making significant changes to rules between the proposal stage and the final rule based on public comment, as evidenced by the recent "BitLicense" proposal and final rule. This presents an opportunity for those in the industry to explain the significant challenges that this rule will impose, including the attestation requirement's potential chilling on hiring of qualified compliance talent at the CCO level.
- A fundamental question to be asked as part of the evaluation of the attestation requirement is whether the CCO is the appropriate person to sign the annual certification under the threat of criminal penalty. A CCO may not have the authorization or the resources to effectuate the change necessary to meet these new compliance requirements within the organization. However, it cannot be argued that the CEO, an independent committee within the board of directors or an independent auditor would lack the authority to make the changes necessary to implement the systems required by this proposed rule.
- The strength of the state supervisory system is when the view of the regulatory landscape is seen by most states through a similar prism. The state supervisory system has done great things, not the least of which includes harmonizing intricate laws through the uniform law process. But, when any state goes too far in one direction or another and is off from the views of other states, it becomes much tougher for companies to comply. Often in cases like this, the state that makes the toughest standards become the default standard across the board.
- This proposed rule begs the question whether some or all of this proposed rule is opening up the New York state to federal preemption challenges. There are certainly good arguments to be made that this rule does not directly conflict with federal AML requirements because the proposed rule would effectively provide a more granular framework of existing federal requirements and is not in direct conflict with federal law. However, it remains to be seen whether the certification under threat of criminal penalty portion of the proposed rule would stand up to a court challenge.

Chessington theme park remains closed after fire
Chessington World of Adventures theme park in Surrey will be closed until after Christmas, following a fire in a cafe on the site.
The park had been running festive zoo days at its animal park and sea life centre during December while its rides were closed for the winter.
The fire at the Creaky Cafe broke out just after 08:30 GMT on Saturday, before the park had opened.
Chessington said it would readmit day visitors on 26 December.
It remains open for hotel guests with pre-booked packages.
The park was scheduled to close for the day on 25 December.
No-one was injured in fire which occurred near the zoo and Santa's grotto, but animals were removed to safety.
London Fire Brigade said the single-storey building was destroyed by fire. An attraction next door was also affected, along with a parade of shops and a plant room.
Families were turned away from the attraction on Saturday.
Paul Sharpe, 41, from Maidstone in Kent, who arrived at Chessington's hotel on Friday night with his family, was "devastated" to miss out.
He said: "We came out to the car and just heard noise. We saw smoke billowing and lot of people from Chessington running towards it.
"This huge flame shot out of the top of the building, I mean really tall, very orange, and the smoke just was everywhere."
Chessington said the resort would be closed for people visiting for the day, including those with pre-booked tickets and annual pass holders who were not staying at the hotel.
It said people with pre-booked tickets should contact the park.
"The area surrounding Creaky Cafe will remain closed until the investigation is complete," it said in a statement.
"We would like to sincerely apologise for the disappointment this has caused."
The theme park rides and attractions reopen in March.

One of the highlights of the Woodworking in America conference in November 2008 was Roy Underhill's keynote address. Underhill, the hero to many hand-tool woodworkers, touched on a lot of subjects. But one of the best parts of the speech was about his own personal history with the ax.
Two personal notes. Roy had been drinking (Red Bull) this night, which helps explains his particularly animated delivery. And my only disappointment with the speech was that Roy didn't decimate that podium with the ax. That thing was a piece of press-wood junk!
