Now all I need is for 7 or 8 thousand dollars to fall in my lap, and my car back from the mechanic, and life will be good again, for a few weeks anyway. (: LOL!
AWESOME! My car is going to cost 700 dollars LESS than expected, and is ready to be picked up! About that 7 or 8 thousand dollars? Fate??? Helloooo? Are you listening still???
Wee Ha!! =))))))
Great news!!
If fate is listening send us about 15,000.
Saw my family doc yesterday. Received good news today, my ac1 is down to 5.8! woohoo, now if the rest of me would just normalize. ;-)
Working on a lacey, doily style hat today. Have a great weekend.
FYI....For anybody that prefers to be in the shadows there is a Crochet holiday group too. http://community.knitpicks.com/group/holiday-gift-crochetalong/forum
Best wishes! With luck, with one thing going right, all the rest will fall in line. (:
Wow, great news. That's two people with good fortune. I've had a good day myself---DH took our beat up truck on a 500 mile round trip to get DD from school for the holidays. First time the truck has gone more than 50 miles in one trip! We were nervous that it would make it, but it did.
Hooray for autos that work! (not sarcasm, I was *dying* last week!)
Oh, man, an AC1 of 5.8! That is really terrific. Good going!
Wow, the holidays are wrapping up and I now have some time to myself. Next year, I swear I will start on gifts earlier. Wait, didn't I say that last year? LOL I hope everyone is healthy. I've felt pretty good. Jury duty is officially over, and despite all the anticipation and anxiety of having to check every day (sometimes twice a day), I never got selected. I did go down to the courthouse twice, so they will pay me a little.
I got the blocking mats I requested, but the request for wires got mixed up with pins. Can't complain. My family got me a Kindle Fire. What a powerful device. It does just about everything and iPad does: web, videos, music, documents, save photos, plus read. I'm stoked!
Hope to hear from yall soon.
I got a shiatsu chair pad, I use it before I start crafting. (: I have a regular kindle, and I <3 it! I got Amazon gift cards that I have already put to good use... Aside from my back still being a big bully, life has been pretty durn good here! Glad to hear you've been feeling better! 2 more projects and I get a little time off. (:

Nice work here to mate
Well here again a new Maraxxian ship and this time it is the Miridex-class, which literally means: "Not very big". It is a light cruiser, it is 120,35 m in lenght (forward cannons not included). The vessels is very light and because of that it is very fast. Oh almost forgot it: you can see that the aft torpedo launcher will have some problems; the torpedo, when fired, will immediately hit the pulse cannon. That problem WILL BE FIXED.
Looks rather cool.

Catching a summer cold changed Erica Spindler's life forever.
Up until that fateful malady, Erica planned on being an artist. She had studied for that profession, earning both a BFA and MFA in the visual arts. Then in June of 1982, she stopped at a local drugstore to pick up cold tablets and tissues; the cashier dropped a free romance novel into her bag. She hadn't read a romance in years but once home, with nothing to do but sniffle and watch daytime TV, she picked that romance up and was immediately hooked. For the next six months she read every romance she could get her hands on. Sometime during those months, she decided to try to write one herself.
The moment she put pen to paper, Erica knew she had found her true calling. Since that day, Erica has published more than twenty novels. Her titles have been published all over the world and Red was turned into both a wildly popular graphic novel and daytime drama in Japan. Critics have dubbed her stories as "thrill-packed, page turners, white knuckle rides, and edge-of-your-seat whodunits" and The Times Picayune praised 2003's In Silence, calling it "Creepy and compelling; a real page turner."
Erica is a USA TODAY, New York Times extended, Waldenbooks and amazon.com bestseller. In 2002, her novel Bone Cold won the prestigious Daphne du Maurier Award for excellence. An RWA honor roll member, she received a Kiss of Death award for her novel Forbidden Fruit and is a three-time RITA award finalist. In 1999 Publishers Weekly awarded the audio version of her novel Shocking Pink a Listen-Up award, naming it one of the best audio mystery books of 1998. Praised by booksellers as "The best suspense novel I've ever read" and "A perfect 10 out of 10," Erica's 2004 release See Jane Die is the story of a woman who must face her darkest fears when her husband becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murders of two women.
Erica and her husband a man she describes as funny, handsome and way too sassy met in art school and have been together ever since. They have two sons, born nine and a half years apart. Erica makes her home in the New Orleans area, although she originally hailed from Illinois.
Erica came to her present home in much the same way she came to writing fate intervened. She and her husband, then college students, traveled to New Orleans to see the King Tut exhibit at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Without advance tickets, they had a choice: wait in line all day or spend the day sightseeing. They chose the latter and fell head-over-heels in love with the city.
Erica is currently at work on her next thriller for MIRA Books.

A Walk in the Park
Revision as of 20:01, June 18, 2013 by Thomas0802 (Talk | contribs)

- "That bastard mayor is fucking with me. I don't take that shit!"
- — Salvatore Leone about Roger C. Hole.
A Walk in the Park is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Salvatore Leone from the court house in the Bedford Point district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Toni answers the public pay phone outside the court house, and Salvatore informs him to kill the Mayor, Roger Hole, whilst he's on his daily run in Belleville Park. The police and FBI have the park guarded. Toni enters the park unarmed, but then kills the Mayor and takes his cell phone, escaping back to the safehouse in Newport.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the missions the player must:
- Kill Mayor R.C. Hole
- Retrieve the mayor's mobile phone
- Take the phone to Salvatore
The reward for completing the mission is $1,500 and unlocks the mission Making Toni for Salvatore Leone. The Sweats Outfit is also unlocked.
- If Toni fails to kill Hole in the park, Hole will escape in a vehicle; however, it's still possible to complete the mission by destroying the vehicle with ramming and drive-bys, although causing it to go into the water (a possibility in several locations) will fail the mission.
- Another alternative cited by the BradyGames official strategy guide is to snipe Hole from outside the park, though this requires considerable skill with the sniper rifle and requires Toni to fight his way through waves of gunmen to reach the cell phone and get out again.
- Since Toni automatically equips a gun when driving, the only way to use a vehicle to enter the park without detection is to do so when Toni isn't equipped with a drive-by weapon.

I remember a piece of advice from a database professor of mine--one of the greatest skills you can have in your career is learning how to say a lot while really saying nothing. MysteryMan seems to have honed this down to a science.
At the end of the day, no matter how well your code runs, how smooth the loading is, or whatever other behind-the-scenes junk goes on, the fact is that Alteil is still:
A: a game that depends on the extravagant spending of a select few, resulting in
B: very poor return for spending
and due to the constraining nature of only 25 cards and 5 soul skills, we have
C: a very rock paper scissors environment, resulting in
D: a very poor competitive environment, despite Folrart being a place that only rewards winning.
So long as the underlying issues of accessibility and skill-testing aren't solved, we're going to have problems.

Weight Management: Stop Negative Thoughts
It can be hard to get to and stay at a healthy weight. It takes healthy eating and regular exercise. These can be hard changes to make. But you can help yourself succeed just by thinking that you can succeed. If you tell yourself negative things—"I can't do this. Why bother?"—change will be harder. But if you encourage yourself with thoughts like "I can do this," you can raise your chance of success.
With time and practice, you can change what you say to yourself. You can learn to think in a healthy way even when you make a mistake.
- Negative thoughts can make it harder to reach and stay at a healthy weight.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a type of therapy that can help you replace negative thoughts with accurate, realistic ones.
- Changing your thinking will take some time. You need to practice healthy thinking every day. After a while, it will come naturally.
Healthy thinking is a way to help you stay well by changing how you think. It's based on research that shows that you can change how you think. And how you think affects how you feel and act.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy , also called CBT, is a type of therapy that is often used to help people think in a healthy way. CBT can help you learn to replace negative thoughts with accurate, encouraging ones. These negative thoughts are sometimes called irrational or automatic thoughts.
Working on your own or with a counselor, you can practice these three steps:
- Stop. Notice your thoughts. When you notice a negative thought, stop it in its tracks and write it down.
- Ask. Look at that thought and ask yourself whether it is helpful or unhelpful right now.
- Choose. Choose a new, more accurate thought to replace the negative one.
The goal is to have accurate, encouraging thoughts come naturally. It may take some time to change the way you think. So you will need to practice healthy thinking every day.
Test Your Knowledge
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that can help change how you think about yourself.
You need to see a counselor to do CBT.
Healthy thinking—along with healthy eating and being active—can help some people reach a healthy weight. It can help you stay on track when you have a slip-up. And it can keep you from getting discouraged.
Say you've been limiting your portions and eating more vegetables and fruit. But you go to a party one night and eat several slices of pizza and a big piece of cake. All the way home, you get angry at yourself for eating so much. "I don't know why I bother trying to lose weight. I have no will power. I might as well forget about it."
The more you talk in a negative way to yourself, the harder it is to stay focused on all the good changes you've made. The negative thinking makes you feel bad. And that can lead to having more slip-ups and more bad thoughts about yourself. It's a cycle that's hard to break.
But with practice, you can retrain your brain. After all, you weren't born telling yourself negative things. You learned how to do it. So there's no reason you can't teach your brain to unlearn it and replace negative thinking with more helpful thoughts.
Healthy thinking is good for your health in other ways. If you feel bad about yourself, you could feel anxious or depressed. Healthy thinking also can help you handle stress better. Many people eat too much because they are stressed.
Too much stress can raise your blood pressure and make your heart work harder, which can increase your risk for a heart attack. Stress also can weaken your immune system, which can make you more open to infection and disease.

Healthy thinking can help you prevent or cope with anxiety and depression. It also can lower stress. Lowering stress can lower your blood pressure and make your immune system stronger.
Notice and stop your thoughts
The first step is to notice and stop your negative thoughts or "self-talk." Self-talk is what you think and believe about yourself and your experiences. It's like a running commentary in your head. Your self-talk may be rational and helpful. Or it may be negative and not helpful.
Ask about your thoughts
The next step is to ask yourself whether your thoughts are helpful or unhelpful. Look at what you're saying to yourself. Does the evidence support your negative thought? Some of your self-talk may be true. Or it may be partly true but exaggerated. There are several kinds of irrational thoughts. Here are a few types:
- Focusing on the negative: This is sometimes called filtering. You filter out the good and focus only on the bad. You don't give yourself credit for the good things you do. Example: "I ruined my eating plan this week by having so much pizza tonight." Reality: Did you keep to your eating plan most of the week? If you did, then you're not giving yourself credit for all the great things you did that week.
- Should: People sometimes have set ideas about how they "should" act. If you hear yourself saying that you or other people "should," "ought to," or "have to" do something, then you might be setting yourself up to feel bad. Example: "I should never have pizza or dessert." Reality: If you really don't ever want to have pizza or dessert again, that's fine. But many people find a way to work those foods into their eating plan and stay at a healthy weight. They try to have a flexible eating plan.
- Overgeneralizing: This is taking one example and saying it's true for everything. Look for words such as "never" and "always." Example: "I can never stick with an exercise plan." Reality: Have you ever made a vow to exercise and stuck to it? If you did it before, you can do it again. And even if you weren't able to do it in the past, that doesn't mean you can't stay with plan in the future.
- All-or-nothing thinking: This is also called black-or-white thinking. Example: "If I can't stay on my eating plan all the time, I'll just give up." Reality: Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. One slip-up doesn't mean you can't get back to your plan the next day.
Choose your thoughts
The next step is to choose an accurate, helpful thought to replace the unhelpful one.
Keeping a journal of your thoughts is one of the best ways to practice stopping, asking, and choosing your thoughts. It makes you aware of your self-talk. Write down any negative or unhelpful thoughts you had during the day. If you think you might not remember them at the end of your day, keep a notepad with you so that you can write down thoughts as they occur. Then write down helpful messages to correct the negative thoughts.
If you do this every day, helpful thoughts will soon come naturally.
But there may be some truth in some of your negative thoughts. You may have some things you want to work on. If you didn't perform as well as you would like on something, write that down. You can work on a plan to correct or improve that area.
If you want, you also can write down what kind of irrational thought you had. Your journal entries might look something like this:
Stop your negative thought
Ask what type of negative thought you had
Choose an accurate, helpful thought
"I ruined my eating plan by having so much pizza tonight."
Focusing on the negative
"I wish I didn't eat so much pizza. But it's only one meal. I stayed on my eating plan really well the rest of the week."
"I should never have pizza or dessert."
"Having dessert or pizza now and then is okay if it's part of my eating plan."
"I can never stick with an exercise plan."
"I've had some problems sticking with an exercise plan in the past. But that doesn't mean I can't do it in the future. I've made other changes in my life."
"If I can't lose 10 pounds this month, then I'm going to give up this eating plan."
All or nothing
"I'm going to try to set a realistic goal. It may be a smaller goal than before, but I'm still working toward a healthy weight."
Test Your Knowledge
Which of these thoughts is an example of healthy thinking?
I'll never be able to stick to a healthy eating
This answer is incorrect.
This is an example of a negative or irrational thought. By saying "never," you're overgeneralizing because of one slip-up. You're also ignoring all your successes.
I made a mistake eating so much, but I can try again
This answer is correct.
This is an accurate thought. It corrects a negative thought. You're admitting that you got off track. But you're also putting it in perspective. It's only one day, and you can start over tomorrow.
How can a daily journal help you have more accurate, rational thoughts?
It makes you aware of your self-talk and can help you
correct irrational thoughts.
Both answers are correct.
A daily journal can make you aware of your self-talk. It also helps you think of helpful thoughts. As soon as you write down an unhelpful thought, you can write a more accurate, encouraging thought to correct it.
Writing in the journal every day will help healthy
thinking come naturally to you.
Both answers are correct.
Writing in the journal every day will help healthy thinking come naturally to you. It takes some practice. It took a long time for negative thinking to become automatic. So it may take some time to get used to having accurate, realistic thoughts.

Being sued after reporting to SOCA
There is an interesting legal case which has been rumbling around the courts for some years now - and looks likely to do so for a few years more.
The facts are pretty simple. A business customer of a bank instructed the bank to make payments to various persons overseas. (I am using "person" here to include a business as well as an individual.) The bank made a report to SOCA seeking consent to make those payments under the money laundering regime. Pending receipt of that consent the bank did not make the payments.
When the monies failed to arrive when they were due the persons to whom the payments should have been made got very concerned and lost faith in the bank's customer. As a result the bank's customer lost valuable opportunities and its reputation was damaged.
It is now accepted that the payments, had they been actioned on time, would not in fact have involved any money laundering.
The customer sued the bank for its loss.
What takes this out of the ordinary is the size of some of the numbers. The claim against the bank is for US $300 million in damages. Four payments were involved. The total value of them was about US $38 million.
Initially the bank responded to the claim for damages by saying, in effect, "We had a suspicion - the law required us to do what we did. So tough!".
The customer responded by saying, in effect, "There were no grounds for any suspicion - you ought not have had a suspicion - your failure to make the payments as instructed has cost us dear and you have to bear that cost."
When the matter first came to court the customer's claim was summarily thrown out (without full evidence being produced), on the basis that the customer could not tell the bank whether or not it "ought" to have had a suspicion - and therefore the claim was bound to fail and the court would not entertain it at all.
The customer appealed and had the claim re-instated on the basis that it was proper to oblige the bank to show in court at least that it actually did have a suspicion.
The bank has now disclosed its internal procedures for reporting suspicions and the bank's MLRO has personally made a witness statement saying that, on the information he received from more junior staff, he genuinely did have a suspicion. The bank has also said that the paperwork would have been through at least two other people on the way to the MLRO and they also must have had a suspicion or they would not have referred it up the 'chain of command' to the MLRO.
But the bank has refused to give the names of anyone involved at the bank other than that of the MLRO himself.
The customer says, in effect, "How can I check if these other people genuinely had a suspicion if I cannot get them into the witness box because I don't know who they are?"
So the latest round in court has been about the customer asking the bank to disclose the names of the staff involved - and the bank's refusal to do that.
The judge has ruled that the bank must disclose how many different individuals in the bank were involved and in which departments they worked but, for now at least, the bank is not obliged to disclose their names.
The point is that the bank's argument, in part, was that its suspicion was obviously in good faith because a number of different people shared it. So the bank has to disclose a bit more about how many people shared it in order to back that up.
In the latest judgment the judge is thinking aloud about the pro's and con's of requiring details to be produced in court about reports of money laundering suspicions.
If you are interested the judgment is online HERE. Not the easiest of reads, though!
Why is this not a tipping off offense?
I give instructions to my bank to make a payment. They don't make that payment. Pretty much clues me in that something is wrong. Under what circumstances is this sort of "tippng off" legally permissible?
It would appear that the crux of this case was the SOCA consent. If the transactions are accepted as not being money laundering, then presumably the bank would have been able to proceed if SOCA had granted consent in time. If the action against the bank fails, is there any reason why SOCA could not be pursued for failure to give consent in time?
As a slight digression, can you clarify what "public interest immunity" is in this context? The bank seems to be claiming this as a reason for not disclosing the names of the employees that had a suspicion. My understanding from the documentation is that full disclosure to ensure a fair trial is in the public interest, but the immunity part is when full disclosure would have some other harmful effect. In this case, the "other harmful effect" would appear to be concerns about those employees being threatened in some way. If it has been accepted that the claimant wasn't engaging in criminal activity, then surely it's wrong to effectively depict him as a violent criminal.
Banks Procedures
Knowing many people in the banks and the culture which exists, no-one takes a chance with anything out of the ordinary - they just report it up the chain and let someone else make the decision and take the risk. Those I know suggest it is more a case of the fear of getting it wrong rather than any real suspicion.
I don't know if things are changing though because I am aware of a few individuals/companies who have received a phone call from their bank in the past 6 months asking for some additional information on a particular transaction - one being a cash lodgement of just under £1000.
Tipping-off offences
The original legislation on 'tipping off' in s333 PoCA 2002 was repealed and replaced in 2007. The new legislation is HERE.
As you can see under s333A it can be an offence to disclose to someone (outside your own organisation) that a Suspicious Activity Report has been made.
In this case the bank did not initially disclose that to their customer - they simply said that they were unable to proceed with the transaction at present. The customer of course guessed what was going on - but that's not 'tipping off'.
Subsequently the bank did disclose that the reason for the delay had been because they had been awaiting consent from SOCA. However it seems that by that stage there was no likelihood of the authorities conducting further investigations into the matter. Therefore the disclosure to the customer was not "likely to prejudice any investigation that might be conducted". So again there was no 'tipping off' offence.
I think the bank is being sued for breach of its contractual obligation to its customer to carry out the customer's instructions. There is no contract between the customer and SOCA so if the customer (or the bank) were to sue SOCA they would need to establish that SOCA owed them a duty of care and had failed in that duty (remember the snail in the ginger beer case from law studies?). PoCA in effect allows SOCA seven working days to give (or withhold) consent and I believe SOCA responded within that timescale. It would be difficult I think to make a successful claim against SOCA.
Your point on 'public interest immunity' is valid. But on the other hand if the courts ordered the bank in this instance to disclose the names of the people who initially reported the suspicion would that have the effect of inhibiting other bank employees from reporting their suspicions in future?
The court decided that the bank had "made out the proposition that its employees fall within a class to which public interest immunity attaches". So then the court had to consider whether in this particular case the interests of justice over-rode that immunity.
The upshot was the order of a bit more disclosure by the bank.
Durant v FSA 2003
I had recent experience, which has some similairity (apart from the numbers involved!). My bank declined a transaction without telling me. It placed a stop on my debit card which I discovered only when paying for a meal at a local restaurant. I was naturually furious. I was directed to the bank's fraud department. I assured them the transaction was legitimate (they had not doubted me - they were protecting me, they said). I asked them to process the transaction. They did not. I discovered this 4 months later when the payee re-ivoiced me. I complained to the bank. They in turn blamed me, saying that had I checked my (quarterly) bank statements I would have noticed the transaction had not gone through. I duly referred my case to the Financial Services Ombudsman. I held that the bank's procedures were wrong; instead of cancelling the transaction the bank should have suspended it pending further authorisation. The Ombudsman said he had no power to order the bank to alter its procedures. At the same time the Ombudsman effectively criticised my lack of procedures (because I did not do a bank rec). It was down to me, the bank and the Ombudsman said, to know that I should have resubmitted the transaction once it been declined by the bank.
Also of relevance may be the Durant v FSA case of 2003 (Court of Appeal) where it was ruled that Durant had no right to his complaint file or to details of the consequent investigation conducted by his bank and the FSA. He was thus powerless to challenge the probity or correctmness of the investigations made into his complaint.
Judgment in Durant v FSA
Sue the government?
It would seem reasonable to allege that the government owes a duty of care to the electorate. The seven day response time for SOCA is laid down by the government. Such a delay could, as in this case, have a severe impact on business. Bit of a stretch but is suing the government for allowing such a problem to be written into law a possiblity. (Preumably not, even before taking into account that it wasn't the current government that instituted this legislation.)
I appreciate the need for protection of whistle-blowers, but it woudl be interesting to see how robust the protection from unfounded allegations is. As can be seen in this case, such allegations can have major repercussions. In this case the bank are being forced into a slightly more detailed disclosure. There also appears to be eveidence that a bank employee may have a grudge against the complainant, having been refused a substantial loan by him. Is it common for public interest immunity to be lifted when such suspicions need to be checked?
Ah, Donoghue v Stevenson. Almost as much fun as Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Company. I do like the comment that there is no difference between rodents and gastropods under Scots law.
the devil or the deep blue sea ?
Clearly the customers view of what should be suspicious is different from the banks, not a surprise really.
presumably if the bank win they can use this as an excuse to get out of any contract ? or all transactions will now take seven days ?
and if the customer wins, we will need proof of an offence before we can have a suspicion.
David ? have you completed your obligations under MLR 2007 if you report anonymously ?
Proof of an offence
The issue is not whether there is proof of an offence. The bank now accept that the customer was not, in fact, committing an offence. But that doesn't matter. The bank say they had a suspicion. The customer, in effect, is saying "We don't believe you did have a suspicion".
If the bank can satisfy the court that they really did have a suspicion of money laundering then the bank win (even though it turned out there actually was no money laundering). The customer cannot (successfully) sue the bank for doing what it was required by law to do. (But of course if actually the bank did not have a suspicion then it was not required to seek consent from SOCA.)
I think making a report anonymously does meet your obligations - but you would need to keep a record of the report yourself so that if challenged you could prove you made one.
It may be difficult to remain anonymous if you report using the online report filing facility. (That's an IT question - not my province!).
Of course if your report says, "I have looked at my client's bank statements, tax returns and accounting records and I suspect that . . . " then someone might guess the source of the report!
Thanks David
My point is that what might be suspicious to a bank manager may not be suspicious to a judge or the client and given the penalties for non compliance one would always Err on the side of caution to protect ones own neck.
The only safe way will be to obtain evidence to prove you had a suspicion, which is not how the legislation is worded.
We as accountants are having to make judgement calls as to whether one ought to have had a suspicion.That may even be based on what the client looked like, his background, body language, culture ? (dangerous) or previous, when combined with the transaction, some of which you could not write down for fear of committing some other offence of discrimination.
Surely a defence of I thought the transaction was large or unusual should be enough.
A bank manager recently asked the client, "you have done much better this year. Have you been money laundering or something ?" Whether that was a joke or not we will never know particulary as the figures quoted were not those of the clients. I explained that he was probably trying to tick a box on his file having been trained that sudden increases in profit or sales must be money laundering when in fact for micro businesses this is quite normal along with sudden decreases.
What proof is there of grounds for a suspicion, either you had one or you didn't. Clearly there was a suspicion as a report was made and clearance sought, and that should be the end of it.
Bad faith?
There is the possibility that the report of a 'suspicion' was made in bad faith by an employee who had an axe to grind against the bank's customer.
The judgment has this, "I am bound to note that, in the present case, one bank employee apparently asked to borrow $1.5 million from the [bank's customer], which loan was refused. With such large sums of money involved, bad faith cannot automatically be ruled out".
As things stand the customer does not know whether that employee was involved at all in the report of the suspicion which ultimately caused the customer so much grief.
banks acting in bad faith
surely not - ignorant fools that they are - the chances of the banks being convicted of anything.....
An Interesting Case Indeed
On the basis that it is the MLRO's duty to report to SOCA if he has a suspicion then he has fulfilled his duty. If he had not made a report he could have faced a criminal prosecution and possible imprisonment.
We have it hammered home that it is not the MLRO's place to become a detective and investigate further. I would therefore say that the court should recognise this and as the MLRO had "developed" a suspicion the other bank officials testimonies are surely irrelevant.
It is also hammered home to employees that if they have a suspicion they must report it to the MLRO or they then face a possible prison sentence.
The system has therefore been set up on an "if in doubt... report" basis and this type of situation is bound to occur from time to time. Some people are naturally more suspicious/cynical than others.
This is a bit like telling someone who is lost and asking for directions that they shouldn't be lost.
It is interesting to consider how on another occasion the the flip side argument of "You were clearly not suspicious, but you should have been", might fit into this. I think we know the answer!
Bad Faith
I hadn't actually read this post when I made mine. It does change things slightly but it is still the MLRO's neck on the block. If the MLRO had identified the employee's report as plain malicious then he should not have proceeded. If however, any suspicion remained then he did the right thing. That is a call for him and him alone.
As a side point, did the MLRO or the bank itself know about the loan refusal? What on earth was a bank employee doing trying to borrow $1.5m? Perhaps the employee needed to be reported as well! In the olden pre money laundering days bank employees had to get their employer's clearance for even small loans/business interests to avoid this type of conflict. I am guessing those days are over.
Who would be a MLRO?
1) Don't report and risk prison.
2) Do report (incorrectly) and risk being sued/losing the client.
3) Do report (correctly) and risk who knows what in reprisals from a possible drug dealing terrorist!
Speaking as someone who is allergic to violence (I break out in cuts and bruises) 2) actually looks the least painful.
seven days consent
Surely this problem of Bad faith has only occured because of the delay in the transaction whilst awaiting consent,
otherwise nothing would have happened as a result of the report.
and is easily fixed by
1. Expecting SOCA to achieve the same work rate as the commercial sector.
2. Report and then expect SOCA to object or not in time to stop the transaction otherwise it goes ahead as normal.
Seven days really is too long to make a decision. What do they do in the meantime ? sick, strike or count their pension ?
P.s. well said Vaughan
Consent time
In practice most consent requests are dealt with within 2 - 3 working days. However in this case SOCA may have felt they needed to make enquiries overseas and that obviously can delay matters.
Not quiet on the same scale
A client paid his VAT bill by internet banking £18k. The money disappeared from his account several weeks later he received a call from HMRC debt management the money hadn't been received. Contacted his bank and the money reappearred on his bank account the following day. He contacted debt management and assurred them the money was on its way and checked with his bank everything was ok. Money disappeared from his account again call from debt management several days later it hadn't been received either it had to be paid immediatley or it would go to the insolvancy team for bankrupty. He sent a cheque by special delivery. The missing money eventually came back on his account. On meeting with his advisor at the bank he was told his money was held and then returned because of "money laundering" he was advised the only way round it the future was to break the payment into smaller amounts of £6k every day until it was paid. My clients nerves were completely shot, not sleeping, couldn't concentrate on running his business in case someone turned up a his house to seize goods. So there we have it money laundering through HMRC.

The Flathead 7 is one of the Flagships of Zeagle's Regulator Line. Zeagle's regulators are US made, built under strict controls for quality in Zeagle's own factory, using state of the art equipment and procedures. Your regulator is one of your most important pieces of gear. No matter what kind of diving you do, you can do it better with Zeagle.
The Wide-Open Internal Structure allows for Direct and Unrestricted Airflow through the First Stage, giving very Low Breathing Resistance, even at great Depths and High Demands. It is very Low in Profile, barely extending above the tank valve, and places the low pressure hoses directly out to the sides, in a pattern preferred by many divers. Zeagle's Conical Precision High-Pressure Valve provides much greater Reliability and Service Life compared to conventional designs, while Improving Responsiveness and Performance at all breathing rates. The Flathead 7 provides High Performance Porting in a Balanced Diaphragm Design First Stage that will give you years of service.
The Balanced Diaphragm, Chrome Plated Marine Brass First Stage Regulator is inherently Environmentally Sealed. The benefit of this type of first stage design is that none of the delicate internal parts are exposed to contaminants such as salt, sand, chlorine or pool acids. These environmental contaminants can cause corrosion and mineral deposits to form on the internal mechanism deteriorating regulator performance. The added clear diaphragm membrane and hydro-transmitter, communicate external ambient pressure changes to the internal valve mechanism. The total exclusion of water from the regulator's interior including the spring chamber, means that no ice can form inside during cold water dives. The First Stage Regulator has 5 Low Pressure Ports 3/8"-24 UNF Thread and 2 High Pressure Ports 7/16"-20 UNF Thread.
The Zeagle ZX Second Stage is Lightweight, Compact and Comfortable. Its design features include Diver Adjustable Inhalation Resistance, Venturi (Free-Flow) Control, and Built in Heat-Sink for added Freezing Resistance. Over the years, evolutionary design changes have created a regulator that is Resistant to Free-Flow on the surface, with incredible smoothness and ease of breathing underwater. This Pneumatically Balanced Downstream Demand Valve Second Stage Regulator is manufactured from Brass, Flexible and ridged Thermoplastics, Elastomeric Polymers and Silicone Rubber. The Standard Hose measures 30" (76 cm) and is 3/8" Threaded.

A senior at Union College, Ansari reflected on life events that resulted in leadership roles, both at her summer job at North Star Camp and at Union College. Smiling as the autumn sunshine streamed through the lounge window and illuminated the amber glint in her eyes, she told me it all began at age nine with her first trip to North Star Camp in Brainerd, Minn.

A 19 year-old sophomore studying general studies, Tharayil has always been inspired by her mother's compassionate and giving spirit. This helped form Veena's passion for the homeless that fueled her to gather a bunch of friends and give sack lunches to over 150 people on Lincoln's streets one Sabbath afternoon in October.

Only two minutes remained in the November 4 contest, but a late rally gave the Warrior basketball team hope of a come-from-behind victory. Even though the team fell short that night, the support of the fans and the atmosphere of game reminded Mtike what first attracted him to the team.

It's a word that strikes fear into the hearts of many. For most Americans, Ebola has been painted as a mysterious, highly contagious, super virus that once contracted, inevitably leads to a quick and painful death. But according to Dr. Sharon Medcalf, co-director of the Center for Biosecurity, Biopreparedness and Emerging Infectious Disease at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, most do not have the right facts about the virus and its possible impact on Nebraska.

That's not true. Since a community college costs are subsidized by state and federal funding, many families assume the educational value is the same. However, community colleges are not built to take the place of four-year institutions. Most community colleges are focused on technical trade skills, associates two-year degrees and further learning opportunities for adult learners.

True, and neither freeing the slaves nor invading to prevent a democratic secession is a constitutional issue to warrant invasion.
Actually...it is. The secession of the South directly threatened the long-term stability of the United States. If the South could so secede, then why not New York, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey? Why not California? Their sympathies throughout this era were very ambiguous and, had the South been allowed to go without a fight, they more than likely would have seceded and formed a country of their own. Where would it have ended? Allowing the South to secede from the Union would have established a dangerous precedent. For one, it would have completely destroyed democracy as a viable form of government. Why would the nations of Europe switch to democracy like they did when, if a section of the country didn't agree with a certain policy, they could just get up and leave without a moment's notice?
The map of North America could have very well looked like the map of Europe with varying forms of government instead of just one nation, stretched out from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. That is why I am not a "true" libertarian because "true" libertarians tend to think everything is a black or white issue, with no middle ground in between. You don't think of the consequences of your actions at all.
's amazing the amount of neo-Confederates there are on this board. You have convinced yourselves that the South was by no means in the wrong and that Lincoln was the tyrant. You have convinced yourselves that slavery had absolutely nothing to do with the war and everything to do with tariffs. You have convinced yourselves that Lincoln was a tyrant who shredded the Constitution without being willing to see why he did what he did because you think the war he waged against the South was illegal and tyrannical anyway.
So...it skips his essential conquest of the State of Maryland, his completely ignoring the Constitution, his theft of a large section of the State of Va., etc.?
Because, you see, if the South could never legally secede, then all of the laws passed during the War were (and are) illegal.
I am pretty sure that the South started the War by firing on Fort Sumter. Secession had happened and Lincoln did not send troops to the South right away. Of course, War was inevitable at that point. But, the South started it - not Lincoln.
The dude was against slavery, even in the Lincoln Douglas debates in 1858.
You didn't really expect him to grant suffrage, integrate schools, and end discrimination in 1866 did you? Maybe affirmative action in 1867? Appoint some black judges in 1868? The guy was ahead of his time but come on.... Maybe you would like to criticize Henry Ford for not inventing a traction control system for the Model T?
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery.
This movie will school you on what lengths a political party will go to win enough votes to pass new legislation when all odds are against its passage.
If Southerners were fighting for anything other than to keep their slaves, I might be more sympathetic to the "Lincoln is a tyrant" talk.
True, expect you conveniently left out the part where the North said they would evacuate the fort by a certain date and that date passed before the South fired on it.
What was the North fighting for before the emancipation and Gettysburg?
The North set no such date. Lincoln always intended to use Fort Sumter to ignite a conflict. You can say what you want about that but Lincoln needed a war to bring the South back into the Union. He informed the governor of South Carolina of his intentions to resupply the fort and this is what led to the bombardment.

Monday December 3, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A person familiar with the negotiations says catcher Mike Napoli and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a $39 million, three-year contract.
The deal is subject to Napoli passing a physical, which will take place later this week, the person said Monday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet final.
A 31-year-old who also plays first base, Napoli hit .320 with 30 homers and 75 RBIs as the Texas Rangers won their second straight AL pennant in 2011, then slumped to a .227 average with 24 homers and 56 RBIs this year.

Fresh and Vintage
I saw this gentleman walking on the Upper West Side and asked if I could take his photo. He has a super cool look with his 70s style suit, aviator sunglasses, and paisley tie. It is guys like this, who still look great in items that they have had in their wardrobes for years, that really inspire me. His clothes may be old, but he looks fresh and hip!

While heading to Olivine City, Ash and Co. take another break near a power generator. After a bit of wandering, however, Ash and Chikorita are trapped in the generator building. To make matters worse, they are trapped with Jessie, James, and Meowth, and some territorial Electric-type Pokémon. How will Ash get out of this situation?
- No one has ever been able to figure out the name of the head of security at the power plant, or who her voice actress is.
