Im getting the same error as elham when I try to add the gallery as a child
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at GridGallery/initThumb() at GridGallery/xmlLoaded() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete() If I open the gallery.swf it works fine.
Please explain how to add it to another swf
Thanks nice work by the way
// the constructor function public function Main():void{ if (stage) init(); else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); } private function init(e:Event=null):void{ stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler) sw = stage.stageWidth; sh = stage.stageHeight; }Hope this help you, thanks.
Thanks man that was exactly what needed to happen except I had to comment the //sw = stage.stageWidth; //sh = stage.stageHeight; and had to take out the end } but it works now thanks for the support
Hi Sike,
I'm very impressed by your work and bought this Video Flash Gallery to showcast my videos on my website. Set up everything on my hosting service with my videos and full src description with http://www.etc.. It works fine offline when I run it on my Mac. But it won't load any icon images or video's on my website.
Just to check whether there is a problem perhaps with my hosting server (Linux) I uploaded the same files as it was delivered with just my videos (all flv) and it worked fine on my Mac up on another of my websites in a subfolder. Yet, here it works sometimes, depending on which browser I use, sometimes it won't load some films (of which some are quite long, but all are on my own server).
I'm double checked source description, but not sure where to look to correct any mistakes. Any hint would be very appreciated.
Hi, can you drop me a line with your preview. I can find the problem with your description only. And please make sure the video's location is right, for the Mac system is case sensitive. Thanks.
I wanted the Flash Video Gallery to start right away when accessing my site. Like the template that I bought as well at activeden for ipeqi.us. I'll embed it into an index file once I make it work. Right now only the non-loading icons at www.ipeqi.info/gallery.swf show.
And for purposes of double check I uploaded it on a sub folder at another website: www.ipeqi.us/FlashVideoGallery/gallery.swf Where it works some times, though here too I have some problems with loading icons, especially after number 5. I'm not sure why I have several icon folders /icon and [/me] I'm still in the process of replacing the icons with the related video icons. But I have uploaded for now all the icons that were in the package. Thanks for your help.
Urgent request: How is it possible to implement this feature in another swf/fla?
Upon opening the source file and publishing the swf, the movie is empty of content. I want to use your feature in another swf/fla, please could you help.
Hi, do you open it with flash cs3+? And please make sure the folder isn't modified in the package. Thanks.
Hi Sike, I emailed you directly about a different question, but I am wondering… Is it possible to go straight to full-screen for the video when clicking on the thumbs?? Thank you!
Sike, I'm still needing help with getting the video to open straight into full-screen mode when clicking on the thumbs. Is this possible?? Hope to hear from you! Thanks!
Hi, right now there is no this feature via xml. And you can drop me a line if you want to hire me to implement it for you as freelance. Thanks.

I think that a lightweight bike with a decent
amount of torque would be ideal for the job and would probably make the route
more easily in dodgy weather than many a car.
Unless you plan to cut across the Moors in
the mud something like a YBR would be just as good as either of the Derbis, especially
as they are hard to find. Otherwise an old-stock Suzuki DR125 would be worth
considering or the Suzuki Van Van, which is small and idiot-proof, but will
only do 60mph, eventually.
The Kawasaki KLX125 is probably the best of
the current crop of proper trail bikes, but looking at the route and assuming
you are not short in the leg, we'd point you at a Honda Varadero 125. It has a
classy quality to it with good road manners and OK off-road ability with twin
cylinder smoothness. There are plenty of low mileage ones around, even though it's recently been dropped from Honda's range.
Save money by comparing quotes. It's quick and easy

Welcome to Anderson Automotive
Wheels to Prosper is Back!!!
Anderson Automotive, once again, wants to make a difference in this time of economic crisis. Tuesday, July 1st, 2014, Anderson Automotive will start accepting nominations once again for the "Wheels to Prosper" program for people in Eastern Iowa that have been affected by the current downturn in the economy. They will be asked to write a letter explaining why someone they know deserves the opportunity to buy a 2004 Buick Regal LS, for one dollar!
The past year has brought a lot of turmoil and need to Eastern Iowa after the economic issues that we have had. Anderson Automotive is "…trying to bring change, making a difference in any way we can," by giving a deserving person in Eastern Iowa the opportunity to buy a refurbished car for one dollar. The ideal person is someone not thinking of themselves but instead always looks out for others.
Since Jim Anderson created the program in 2009, it has spread to other shops all across the country and a new and exciting aspect to this year's program is the fact that we will be awarding our car at the exact same date and time as some other shops around the country. Go to wheelstoprosper.org for more details. The staff at Anderson Automotive has inspected and reconditioned a beautiful 2004 Buick Regal LS sedan to look and drive like new. It is fully loaded with options.
Nominations can be mailed to "Wheels to Prosper", 4850 Chandler Court, Marion, 52302 starting Tuesday, July 1st 2014. Or click the Wheels to Prosper logo above. All nominations must be posted marked by July 19th, 2014. Anderson Automotive will read all the nominations and will select a deserving person to be the new owner of the Honda for one dollar. The chosen nomination will be announced on July 26th.
All nominations need to include the following information:
- Nominating person's name, address, and phone number
- Why that person believes the nominated person needs & deserves the opportunity to purchase the Honda for one dollar
- Nominee's name, address and phone number
The car will be on display at Anderson Automotive in Marion, and other locations, throughout the nomination period, allowing Eastern Iowans to view the car. Contact Anderson Automotive for days and times. In this time of economic healing, Anderson Automotive feels that even a very small business can make a difference. "Wheels to Prosper" could be cruising to your neighborhood soon.

For months, the question "Who should replace Simon Cowell?" has circulated in Hollywood. Today, American Idol fans wonder who will take over for Simon, Ellen DeGeneres, and Kara DioGuardi?!? Last night, DeGeneres announced her resignation from Idol after one season. Meanwhile, a TMZ report claims DioGuardi has been let go by Fox and will be vacating the judging team, as well.
This will be one very suspenseful weekend, according to EW.com, as Fox is reportedly looking to make a "splashy announcement...on Monday morning" regarding some big names who will be taking over as judges.
Speculation started months ago with all the talk of Howard Stern stepping in, but with no replacements announced yet, it's still anyone's guess -- although mulitple outlets now say they've confirmed with Idol sources that Jennifer Lopez will join Randy Jackson and whomever else the network taps as a replacement. No confirmation yet on whether Fox wants to return to the original format of three judges, or stick to four.
According to People, a source claims that Lopez "closed a deal to become a permanent judge" and that the 41-year-old singer/actress/supermom is "excited about it."
Jessica Simpson is another celeb said to be in serious talks with Idol producers. TMZ says Simpson, a reality-TV veteran (Newlyweds, The Price of Beauty), has reportedly had "several meetings" and there is allegedly "mutual interest" from Fox.
The case is hardly closed, though! Sir Elton John and Justin Timberlake have each reportedly met with the show's producers, but as EW.com notes, those talks actually occurred "months ago." Just last week, it was reported that crooners Chris Isaak and Harry Connick, Jr. were also in talks to join Idol.
And just in case all these big names aren't enough to make your head spin, new rumors have surfaced that Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler could be a new judge, too. The New York Daily News claims Tyler has bumped a hopeful Bret Michaels for the top spot.
A whole new judging panel would inject the series, which suffered flagging ratings of late, with a major dose of excitement. We can't wait to hear the big announcement!
Who would you like to see wind up as an American Idol judge? Chime in below!

Good quality
Christina from West Babylon, NY– Verified Buyer
It's just the size and shape I needed. Great clock...A bit over priced.
Great clock
Ruth from Cheshire, CT– Verified Buyer
It works well, looks great and fits in my small space
Perfect for my kitchen
Pat from Little Chute, WI– Verified Buyer
This is a simple, easy to read clock that so far keeps accurate time.
gains more than two seconds a week
David from Montreal, QC– Verified Buyer
nice to look at but has gained 10 seconds in four weeks. the clock on my microwave oven is much more accurate.
Perfect for my bathroom
Elaine the Perfectionist from Colorado– Verified Buyer
This is my second purchase of this same clock. Now I have one in each bathroom. Great size, it sits above the hand towel ring and is the same brushed nickel finish. I know I could find a less expensive wall clock for the bathroom, but I've had the first one for 4 years and it can withstand the humidity of the bathroom with no problem so I bought the same for the other bathroom. The only thing that I would have wished for is that it be an atomic radio controlled one so I wouldn't have to change it when the time changes. Otherwise, It's perfect!
Do Not Recommend Aries Wall Clock
anita from Shenandoah Valley, VA
I really liked the design and look of this clock. It was perfect for my kitchen -however, after 15 months it stopped I put in fresh batteries it worked for a day or two then stopped again. [...]they DO NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS. I'm now looking for a Seiko clock which I believe will be a much more reliable brand.
Fits my need perfectly
Sally from Nebraska– Verified Buyer
I needed an 8-inch brushed nickel clock for my bathroom that matched all the fixtures and that I could read from inside the shower. This clock filled all my requirements perfectly.
Exactly what we wanted at a good price
Nonickname from Cleveland, OH– Verified Buyer
We're very pleased with this purchse. We had a small space to hang a clock in our kitchen and this clock fit well as well as looks very nice.

Rapid Reax: Michigan 87, Kansas 85, OT
March, 29, 2013
By Jason King | ESPN.com
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Quick thoughts on Michigan's 87-85 overtime victory over Kansas on Friday at Cowboys Stadium:
Overview: In what was easily the best game of the NCAA tournament thus far, Trey Burke scored 23 points -- all after intermission -- to lead Michigan into the Elite Eight.
Kansas -- the No. 1 seed in the South Region -- appeared to be in command leading 74-66 with 1:22 remaining. But Burke led a charge that saw Michigan outscore the Jayhawks 10-2 in the next 72 seconds to force overtime. The dagger came after KU's Elijah Johnson missed a foul shot with his team leading 76-73. Burke capitalized with a 25-foot 3-pointer that made it 76-76 with four seconds left. Jayhawks guard Naadir Tharpe missed a 3-pointer as the horn sounded.
Kansas (31-6) had led by as many as 14 points in the second half.
No. 4 seed Michigan (29-7) had all the momentum during the extra period. The Wolverines went up 87-82 on two foul shots by Glenn Robinson III before Johnson drilled a 3 on the other end to pull KU within two, 87-85, with 45 seconds left. Jayhawks center Jeff Withey blocked a layup attempt by Burke on the other end. Michigan's Mitch McGary snared the offensive rebound but missed a putback attempt. Kansas snared the board as the shot clock sounded with 9.4 seconds left.
Johnson had the ball on the game's final possession and drove into the lane, where he appeared to have an open layup. But Michigan's Jordan Morgan came over at the last second and appeared to be in position to block Johnson's shot. So Johnson fired a pass to Tharpe on the right wing. Tharpe's 3-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark, and Michigan began to celebrate.
What's next: The Wolverines, after making their first Sweet 16 appearance in 19 years, will meet Florida on Sunday for the chance to go to the Final Four.

SALEM — The Salem Academy Charter School, following its 10-year anniversary, is about to launch an expansion.
"We have been planning it over a year," says executive director Sean O'Neil. "And it's in the design phase."
While many charter schools have won support through academic prowess, the weak link has always been the state of their facilities. School officials often have needed to transform existing buildings, sometimes warehouses or office spaces, into schools. Salem Academy, which serves 372 students in grades six to 12, operates out of Shetland Park, but without some of what traditional public schools take for granted, including a gym and an auditorium.
The proposed expansion would provide precisely those spaces, along with some additional classrooms. The entire yet-to-be constructed, $2.5 million, 15,000-square-foot building would be devoted to athletics and the arts.
"We've been 10 years without a gymnasium," O'Neil said. "Luckily, we've had a good relationship with the Boys and Girls Clubs." Students have gone there to play basketball and have gym classes. "But that's two blocks away, and the kids have to walk, which takes away from class time. ... We don't have anything near the 'Taj Mahal' facilities the district schools have."
On the other hand, Salem Academy does have high expectations academically, he said.
The new building opens up possibilities for new programs like volleyball and amenities like locker rooms. Additionally, comes a space for artwork and music. The gym, as proposed, can be transformed for assemblies or to mount theatrical performances on a stage that can be opened when needed.
The building is being designed at no charge by one of the school's longtime supporters, Mark Meche of Winter Street Architects in Salem. While it won't be contiguous with the current school, the building will be within easy walking distance down Pingree Street.

Le Balzar
Le Balzar Review
Regulars grumble about the uneven cooking at Le Balzar, but they continue to come back because they can't resist the waiters' wry humor and the dining room's amazing people-watching possibilities (you can also drop in for a drink on the terrace). The restaurant attracts politicians, writers, tourists, and local eccentrics—and remains one of the city's classic brasseries: the perfect stop before or after a film in a local art-house cinema. Don't expect miracles from the kitchen, but stick to evergreens like snails in garlic butter, onion soup, panfried veal liver with sautéed potatoes, and baba au rhum for dessert. Night owls congregate for the €25.50 menu, after 10 pm.

Terror Finance
How ISIS is funded
In 2007, the Islamic State of Iraq was seen as "the richest of the insurgency groups" in Iraq with $1 billion to 1.5 billion "collected in revenue by the group through foreign donations, enforced taxation and confiscation of the property and funds of Iraqis." But the U.S. surge and ISI missteps significantly damaged the jihadist group's ability to raise funds.
Seven years and three names later, ISIS amassed a $2 billion comeback and took control of large swathes of territory in northern Iraq including Mosul and 35 percent of Syria.
ISIS's financial recovery has been marked by a slight shift away from reliance on local extortion networks (although those are still in effect), improved organizational and financial management by ISIS leader and self-proclaimed caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and the departure of U.S. troops in 2011.
The most important elements of ISIS's funding are sadaqa (voluntary donations) from Arab donors in the Gulf; sales and tolls collected on sales of oil from fields under its control; and increasingly through money made by controlling key infrastructure.
Here's a rundown of ISIS's main funding channels:
Sadaqa from private donors:
- Support from Saudi donors and fighters
- Qatari donors and bundlers (see here, here, and here)
- Kuwaiti fundraisers
- Donors from the United Arab Emirates
- Other donations around the world including Indonesia
Fundraising is aided by contemporary marketing methods:
- Publication of a glossy annual report to attract "investors"
- Increased use of social media to raise funds
- ISIS controls 60 percent of Syrian oil including the lucrative Omar field
- In Iraq, ISIS controls Butmah and Ain Zalah oil fields, the refinery in Baiji, and oil and gas resources in Ajeel in northern Iraq
- ISIS sells or collects a portion on black market sales to Turkey, Iran, and in Syria itself
- Revenue estimates for ISIS range from $1 million to $3 million daily
- In addition to oil, control of key infrastructure such as the dams in Mosul, Fallujah, and Tabqa present increasingly significant revenue potential for ISIS.
- Professor Ariel Ahram notes this is already occurring at Tabqa, where ISIS is involved in selling electricity.
- New York Times reporter Tim Arango says that possession of the Mosul dam can enable ISIS to "use it as a method of finance" through extortion schemes to continue their operations.
Other sources:
- Isis has seized arms from Iraqi depots, including U.S. weapons given to Iraqi forces, plus weapons smuggled from Turkey and Croatia
- The collection of ransom money has sustained ISIS throughout its existence
- Antiquities smuggling
Incidently, little is being done by the Gulf states to curtail the flow of donations to ISIS because they either want an independent Sunni state carved out of Iraq or to replace Iraq's Shia-led government with Sunnis. Washington should designate Saudi Arabia and Qatar as state sponsors of terrorism, but it won't because of diplomatic considerations.
Without interdicting the donations and the contraband oil, U.S. airstrikes will have limited effect on ISIS's coffers.
Nunn's validation of Islamic Relief USA reveals system-wide failure
While she ran the Points of Light Foundation, U.S. Senate candidate Michelle Nunn (D-Ga.), authorized MissionFish, a Points of Light donation processor, to pass contributions from eBay customers to charities of their choice, including Islamic Relief USA (IR-USA). The Nunn campaign refers to this authorization as "validation;" in other words, Points of Light had researched the charity and validated it for inclusion on MissionFish's list of eligible charities.
The Nunn campaign argues that $33,000 donated by eBay shoppers passed through Points of Light to IR-USA does not constitute a donation by Points of Light to IR-USA. That is disingenuous because what actually happened is that Points of Light received these ear-marked donations and then cut a check themselves to IR-USA. Points of Light benefits from the transaction because it increases the appearance of their overall charitable volume. The eBay customers would not have been able to donate funds to IR-USA while completing their purchases online if MissionFish had excluded the organization on their menu of options.
IR-USA donates millions of dollars each year to Islamic Relief Worldwide, a UK-based organization that has been banned by Israel for aiding Hamas, and whose leadership is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. A Department of Justice official has implicated IR-USA for being a conduit for the flow of money from America to terrorist groups abroad. Russian intelligence indicates that IR-USA funds militants in the North Caucasus—the region where the family of the Boston marathon bombers originate. Nunn and Points of Light could have discovered several of the red flags about IR-USA, many of which had already cropped up before validation occurred, by conducting due diligence research or even a basic Internet search.
Unfortunately, Points of Light isn't the first organization to legitimize IR-USA. IR-USA work has been acknowledged by Hillary Clinton's State Department, the Obamas, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and it maintains 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.
These politicians and agencies have been willing to overlook questionable practices by IR-USA because of their eagerness to demonstrate cooperation with Muslim Americans and Islamic charitable sector. The embrace of IR-USA was exacerbated by IR-USA's fraudulent representation of itself as a larger charity than it actually was by hyper-inflating the valuation of their deworming drug stockpiles. Although the value of deworming drugs may sound like a technical, minor point, it is not. IR-USA basically perpetrated a fraud for several years by overstating the value of the drugs which made up 75 percent of their assets. Bigger institutions like USDA and Points of Light are likelier to partner with bigger charities, which IR-USA seemed to be. If IR-USA had reported a truthful value of its donations and assets, it may not have been viewed as a big enough charity to attract institutional partners like these.
A major charitable bundler like Points of Light had the resources to discover the disturbing truths about IR-USA's connections to Hamas and its fraudulent financial statements prior to validation. It's time that federal agencies and institutional donors started paying less attention to warm-and-fuzzy statements by politicians about what a great partner a certain charity is, and pay more attention to the results of basic due diligence research. Until then, and until there are changes at the highest levels of the IRS and the Department of Justice, and a willingness to confront IR-USA for its history of misrepresentations, we will probably see decisions like Nunn's repeated again.
Al Qaeda financiers use Qatar for international activities
In addition to institutional and charitable support by Qatar, Al Qaeda and its offshoots (including jihadists in Syria and Iraq) receive substantial financial support from private Qatari donors and bundlers. Here's a quick who's who:
Abd al-Rahman al-Nuaymi
Abd al-Rahman al-Nuaymi: The U.S. Treasury Department describes al-Nuaymi as "a Qatar-based terrorist financier and facilitator who has provided money and material support and conveyed communications to al-Qa'ida and its affiliates in Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen for more than a decade. He was considered among the most prominent Qatar-based supporters of Iraqi Sunni extremists." Al-Nuaymi transferred $600K to Al Qaeda in Syria in 2013, and sent $2 million monthly to Al Qaeda in Iraq for an undisclosed period of time. He is also described as an interlocutor between Qatari nationals and Al Qaeda in Iraq leaders.
Salim Hasan Khalifa Rashid al-Kuwari: Treasury says al-Kuwari "provides financial and logistical support to al-Qa'ida, primarily through al-Qa'ida facilitators in Iran. Based in Qatar, Kuwari has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial support to al-Qa'ida and has provided funding for al-Qa'ida operations, as well as to secure the release of al-Qa'ida detainees in Iran and elsewhere."
Abdallah Ghanim Mafuz Muslim al-Khawar: According to U.S. officials, "Al-Khawar has worked with Kuwari to deliver money, messages and other material support to al-Qa'ida elements in Iran. Like Kuwari, Khawar is based in Qatar and has helped to facilitate travel for extremists interested in traveling to Afghanistan for jihad.
Khalifa Muhammad Turki al-Subaiy: The UN describes al-Subaiy as "a Qatar-based terrorist financier and facilitator who has provided financial support to, and acted on behalf of, the senior leadership of Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01). He provided assistance to senior Al-Qaida leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed prior to Sheikh Mohammed's capture in March 2003. Since that time, he has provided financial support to Al-Qaida senior leadership in South Asia." Al-Subaiy served a brief prison sentence in 2008 before being released by Qatar.
Yusuf Qaradawi: The Egyptian-born, Qatar-based spiritual father of the international Muslim Brotherhood sits atop a massive terrorist funding network including the "Union of Good" umbrella network of charities that funds Hamas. Qaradawi was also a sharia adviser for Al Taqwa which provided banking services to Al Qaeda.
Clipping the Wings of Lashkar-e Taiba and its Charity Front Jamaat-ud Dawa of Pakistan
Animesh Roul
In an attempt to clip Pakistan's terror charity Jamaat ud Dawa's (JuD) financial wings further, the U.S. Department of the Treasury on 25 June (2014) has once again targeted the leadership and financial networks of the organization. The JuD (formerly Markaz Dawat-ul-Irshad-MDI) which is a social charily front for the deadly Jihad group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has been operating with impunity inside Pakistan since its inception. The group was founded by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, the present chief of JuD and all its franchises and Zafar Iqbal in Afghanistan's Kunar province in 1987 under the active guidance of Abdullah Azzam, the Palestinian Islamic ideologue who mentored Osama bin Laden. LeT has its headquarters in Muridke (Moreedkey) town, located near Lahore, Pakistan and operates training camps in Pakistan administered Kashmir and some parts of Punjab province and presently expanded into Sind and Balochistan provinces of Pakistan and Bordering areas of neighboring Afghanistan.
LeT has perpetrated numerous terrorist attacks against India including the November 2008 Mumbai serial attacks. The group aims to establish Nizam-e-Mustafa (God's government) in the world and merger of Muslim majority Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) state with Pakistan. It has called for holy war against the United States, India and Israel. With active support from Pakistan's external intelligence agency ISI, the Lashkar-e Taiba furthers its anti India objectives introducing suicide missions in Jammu and Kashmir and into the heartlands of India over the years. The JuD/LeT combine often compared with the al Qaeda for its lethality and sometimes with Hezbollah and Hamas, for its militancy-cum-charity activities. Most recently Jamaat Ud Dawa morphed into a political pressure group in Pakistan.
With active and sustained State patronage and to become legitimate in the eyes of international community, Hafiz Saeed and his cohorts have branched out to charitable works during natural calamities. Religious activism remains its focal point. The JuD/ LeT runs many Islamic centers, schools and religious seminaries, a network of hospitals, orphanages, charity centers along with thousands of administrative and fund collection centers across Pakistan. After a brief government crackdown under international pressure, the JuD has reorganized itself under many umbrella conglomerates e.g. the Tehrik-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool (THR-Movement for Defending the Honor of the Prophet), Tehrik-e-Tahafuz Qibla Awal (TTQA) and Al-Anfal Trust. To evade government proscription and international scrutiny, JuD established many charity fronts e.g. Idara Khidmat-e-Khalq (IKK) and Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF). Rightly observed that Lashkar e Taiba /JuD combine has successfully blended militancy with charity works in Pakistan and neighborhoods (e.g. Maldives/Lanka) through many shadow originations to dodge crackdown and international scrutiny.
So far, US Treasury and the Department of State have designated 22 individuals and four entities associated with Lashkar-e Taiba and JuD.
The US government for the first time included LeT in the Terrorist Exclusion List on December 5, 2001 and designated as a FTO (Foreign Terrorist Organization) on December 26, 2001. In April 2006, The US State Department added Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JUD) and IKK as aliases of Lashkar- e- Taiba under the executive order 13224, which blocked all property, and interests in property of JUD and IKK that are in the United States, or come within the United States, or the under the control of U.S. persons. In May 2008, the US state department has imposed sanctions (including freezing of assets) of four senior ideologues and financier of JuD/LeT including of Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Haji Muhammad Ashraf and Mahmoud Ahmed Bahaziq. In November 2010, the US designated Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation and couple of leaders associated with the foundation, Hafiz Abdur Rauf, Mian Abdullah and Mohammad Naushad Alam Khan, to its list of specially designated global terrorists (SDGT).
Again on September 2011, the U.S. Treasury designated two more LeT/JuD leaders, Zafar Iqbal and Hafiz Abdul Salam Bhuttavi.
In Late August 2012, the US Treasury designated another eight LeT/JuD leaders including Abdullah Muntazir, Ahmed Yaqub, Sajid Mir, Hafiz Khalid Walid, Qari Muhammad Yaqoob Sheikh and Talha Saeed.
On June 25 (2014) the department again designated Nazir Ahmad Chaudhry and Muhammad Hussein Gill as Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
LeT is listed as banned organization in India, Pakistan, US, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Russia and Australia. The United Nations Security Council has already imposed sanctions on Jamaat-ud-Dawa and has declared it as a front group for the LeT. Despite the Pakistan government's proscription, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) has stepped up its overt anti-Indian and anti-Western rhetoric and operates freely holding mass rallies across Pakistan as its leaders continue to give provocative speeches in various public forums to fuel Jihadi sentiments and threaten Indian and Western interests in the region.
How far these restrictions will hamper JuD/LeT's operations would remain to see. There would be very minimal impact inside Pakistan as the group uses various informal channels to raise funds and it runs under State patronage. It raises funds during public gatherings in Pakistan mostly from wealthy individuals and inspired people for the cause of Kashmir and Islam. The latest sanctions and designations would delegitimize the causes. Even though US impositions of such financial actions will not make much difference immediately to JuD or its various franchises inside Pakistan, it will certainly make things difficult for them in the long run to operate at the international sphere raising funds and logistics through formal channels, especially the donations come in the name of humanitarian and educational charity. Also, large amount of donations from the Pakistani Diaspora overseas would be restricted. And last but not the least the restrictions will jeopardize their movement (Travel) aboard especially in the Middle Eastern countries, considered a hub for Islamic charities.

Seven habits of highly effective kingpins
Criminal and terrorist groups are highly interconnected according to new analysis of data by West Point's Combating Terrorism Center. The conventional wisdom was that criminals worry that working with terrorists may draw unwanted scrutiny from their governments, and they are only inclined to cooperate only in resource-poor environments where it is necessary to survive. But the CTC finds that transnational traffickers and criminals appear to be more than willing to partner with terrorists, and that they benefit from these relationships in a wide variety of environments.
The full report can be read here. It is very thorough (89 pages) and includes academic language and models. Here are a just a few of the salient points from the study about members of the global underworld that may be of interest to practitioners and analysts outside of academia:
- Interconnected: 98 percent of the individuals in the global illicit marketplace are within two degrees of separation of each other.
- International: One in three individuals in the network have international relationships.
- Distributed power: Unlike typical hub-and-spoke networks where 80 percent of the connections rely on 20 percent of the actors involved, the global illicit network is somewhat less dependent on a small number of powerful actors/kingpins. Twenty percent of participants are responsible for only 65 percent of underworld connections. This diffuse hub-and-spoke model makes the network tougher for law enforcement to disrupt.
- Willingness to work with terrorists: "Individuals involved in other illicit activities link to terrorists 35 percent of the time" (p. 43). Terrorists often serve as "boundary spanners," that link and form introductions between disparate groups such as drug traffickers, arms dealers, and organized crime.
- Frequent bilateral links with the United Arab Emirates: The top two bilateral connections in the criminal underworld--the U.S. and Colombia and the U.S. and Mexico--are probably unsurprising to Americans. The third most prevalent bilateral connections are between India and the U.A.E., and the sixth most common are between Pakistan and the U.A.E.
- Organized crime, not just terrorism, benefits from state sponsorship. We know that state sponsorship of terrorism exists, but for some reason we erroneously assume that state sponsorship of crime does not. The evidence from North Korea, Russia, the Balkans, and Pakistan indicates that criminals can carry out national interests—a phenomenon deserving further study.
- Convergence is not driven by poverty. Terrorists and criminals are drawn together in a variety of environments, not just in countries where there are little money or resources. The evidence indicates that the opposite is often true—that criminal masterminds prefer climates where there is some level of predictability and economic development, such as Monzer al-Kassar operating in Spain and Dawood Ibrahim in Dubai. Focusing only on failed states could be a red herring.

Lessons learned from 6 big terrorist windfalls
Terror finance trials over the last ten years have frequently involved transfers by individuals of a few thousand dollars to terrorist organizations abroad. Sometimes those cases get as much attention from the news media and law enforcement as multi-million dollar cases of funding terrorism.
This tendency is unfortunate because it causes us to lose sight of the big time patrons of terrorism and their methods. Small transfers are likelier to involve individual actors, small groups, and criminal activity. High-dollar terrorist transactions are likelier to involve state sponsorship, or at least large organizations such as major charities, and sometimes corporations which are targeted for extortion or kidnapping-for-ransom schemes by militants. Consider:
• France paid $15 to $20 million to the Taliban for the 2011 release of reporters Stéphane Taponier and Hervé Ghesquière. France may have also paid a $34 million ransom to Al Qaeda in North Africa for the release of four captives last year, and an $18 million ransom just last week to release four journalists abducted by Syrian rebels.
• The Holy Land Foundation, largest Islamic "charity" in the U.S. in the early 2000s, gave $12.4 million to Hamas. George W. Bush said that the money HLF raised was "used by Hamas to recruit suicide bombers and support their families." The leaders of HLF were found guilty of providing material support to terrorism and received sentences ranging from 15 to 65 years in federal prison.
• Qatar has spent an estimated $3 billion (or, less credibly, $5 billion) to fund Al Qaeda-linked rebels in Syria. In so doing they've helped turn Syria into a charnel house with over 150,000 dead since 2011.
• Carlos the Jackal received, according to different accounts, either $20 million or $50 million from the Saudi government in 1975 to release the OPEC ministers he had taken hostage. Allegedly, this money wasn't used by Carlos himself but was pumped back toward international terrorist causes. Eventually, Carlos the Jackal was caught and sentenced to life in prison in France on separate charges.
• The Born brother heirs to the multinational Bunge and Born corporation were forced to pay a $60 million ransom to leftwing Montoneros terrorists in Argentina in 1974. Some of the money may have been kept in shadowy Argentine and Cuban banks. Mario Firmenich, mastermind of the plot, was convicted in 1987.
• The Palestinian Authority just pledged another $74 million to spend as incentives and stipends for terrorist "martyrs" and their families from their annual budget.
Several lessons should be learned from the above sampling of terrorist jackpots:
1. Don't pay ransoms. Paying ransoms is the quickest way to fund millions of dollars worth of future terrorist attacks and to increase the likelihood of larger ransom demands down the road.
2. In cases of suspected terrorist financing, always look at both the source and the beneficiary of the funding—not just one party in isolation. With the Holy Land Foundation, we tend to focus mostly on HLF as a contributor, without examining how Hamas uses Islamic charities in the West to finance its operations. Likewise in the Taponier and Ghesquière case, what little coverage there was in English language media focused on the ransom negotiations and French foreign policy, while completely ignoring the aftermath of what the Taliban and the Baryal Qari group did with the money. We learn more from each case when we look at both sides of the equation.
3. Recognize the magnitude of the money involved in these cases. Recall that Al Qaeda's budget before 9/11 was about $30 million and carrying out the 9/11 attack cost about a half-million in direct expenses. A ransom payment of "just" $15 million is an enormous sum to terrorist groups who can use it for training, recruitment, arms, websites, bribes, fake identity documents, travel, explosives, and wages for dozens if not hundreds of operatives for a year.
4. Identify state sponsors. It is gratifying that several of these big-timers like the Holy Land Foundation and Carlos the Jackal were brought to justice. But notice that when a national government is the sponsor of the activity, no criminal prosecution takes place. The nations involved aren't even fined like banks would be for committing similar violations. Rather, these cases are handled rather through diplomatic back channels. France has never been held accountable for violating international agreements against the payment of ransoms to terrorists. Qatar has yet to be designated a state sponsor of terrorism despite ample evidence that it is. Sometimes it seems like those with the deepest pockets and links to the terrorist underworld—groups like Islamic Relief, men like Dawood Ibrahim, banks like Al-Rajhi, and spy agencies like the ISI—have escaped the same level of scrutiny that smaller fish receive.
5. Keep probing. The news media is naturally focused on "news." Their inclination is to stop reporting on stories like these after the financing has been revealed, stopped, or somebody has been convicted. But there is still a great deal of reporting that could be done on each of these major plots. For example, after the Bush administration took on the Holy Land Foundation, their plan was to continue prosecution of related entities and front charities, but the Obama administration put those investigations to a halt (which allowed Islamic Relief USA to continue operating). And there is still a great deal of confusion and conflicting accounts about exactly why Carlos the Jackal accepted the OPEC ransom payment rather than killing Saudi official Sheikh Zaki Yamani, which Carlos was supposedly under orders from Wadi Haddad to do.
6. Don't underestimate Islamist motives. The temptation in the West is to ascribe the same motives to terrorists that tempt us in our own culture and in secular societies: money and power. But in several of these high-dollar cases, the donors received no tangible benefits from their gifts, and the recipients used the money to further a larger cause—neither for private financial gain nor for raw political power. Keep in mind that demands for ransom to release infidels are permitted under the Qur'an (47:4). Islamic law also mandates that a portion of zakat be given to holy warriors (Q9:60). The transfer of funds to Hamas offered little private gain for the leaders of the Holy Land Foundation, but the leaders did it anyway in keeping with the principles of zakat. An assumption that these transactions are "purely business" is a culturally biased assumption.
Boko Haram, too, is financed by cyber crime
By David Nordell
The extremist Islamist terror group Boko Haram has become the scourge of Nigeria over the last five or so years, responsible for more than 1,000 deaths. The close to 300 schoolgirls recently kidnapped by the group are still unlocated somewhere in the Nigerian jungle, apparently waiting to be sold as sex slaves. Most recently, Boko Haram is apparently responsible for an attack on a Chinese work site in northern Cameroon that took place on 16th May, killing one and kidnapping 10.
The world is at least making efforts, symbolic or otherwise, to support the Nigerian government in its fight against Boko Haram. British, US and Israeli counter-terrorist units are reported to be helping in the search for the missing schoolgirls; and West African leaders met in Paris on 17th May, together with Western officials, to work out a plan to share intelligence and coordinate military action. Reuters also reported that Nigeria was to ask for Boko Haram to be placed on the UN list of sanctioned terrorist organisations and individuals.
As far as preventing the financing of terrorism is concerned, most of the value of these lists, whether provided by the UN or national governments, is in the Know Your Customer processes carried out at financial institutions, aimed at preventing suspect individuals and entities from opening bank accounts that might then be used to channel money towards terror activities. And the disappointing truth is that these processes are not very effective, not least because the black lists are usually publicly available, not least to the suspects themselves: suspect individuals can easily change their names and obtain new identification papers; suspect corporate entities can often change their identities even more easily; and in any case accounts can be opened and manipulated through front men.
But perhaps more important than the overall weakness of the anti-money laundering/counter-terror financing regime is the fact that it is almost entirely bypassed by the most common form of cyber fraud, generically known as 'Nigerian fraud' or '419 fraud,' after the section in the Nigerian criminal code that refers to it. As is well known, most e-mail account users around the world receive occasional (or in my case, almost daily) messages claiming to be from some bank manager, or government official, or orphaned child of some national leader, offering a large cut in exchange for help in laundering a multi-million dollar sum that has been misplaced in corporate accounts, or allocated by the UN, or left for charitable purposes. And once the gullible victim starts corresponding with the fraudster, he or she discovers that there are all sorts of expenses that need to be covered before the big money can be released, almost invariably by making payment through one of the major remittance companies such as MoneyGram. The more imaginative frauds tend to use romance as the hook: a good friend of mine lost many tens of thousands of dollars to someone who started an on-line relationship with her through a dating site and then claimed to need money urgently because he had been imprisoned on false charges in Ghana.
Nigerian frauds are of course not confined to Nigeria. But sources with whom I have spoken say that there is already clear evidence that Boko Haram is now one of the key organised groups behind these frauds, and that a good part of the money that is sent by the fraudters' victims to Nigeria is actually being used to buy weapons and other supplies for its terror attacks, whether in Nigeria itself or in neighbouring countries.
For the time being there do not appear to be reliable figures for the extent of Boko Haram's involvement in the many thousands of successful 419 frauds, any more than there are reliable figures for the overall extent of these frauds globally: most of the victims are too embarrassed to complain to the police. Similarly, the overall volume of transactions carried out by Western Union, MoneyGram, other smaller remittance companies and now also mobile-phone payments companies is a totally unreliable indicator of how much may end up being taken by Boko Haram, or indeed similar terror groups in countries such as Somalia and the Philippines.
What is clear, however, is that the current KYC regulations that apply to people sending money through the various payments companies are basically irrelevant to this problem of fraud financing terrorism: the victims have no idea where their money is ending up. The same applies to all the many instances of money being stolen from financial institutions and their customers through the better-publicised forms of cyber theft, those that typically use malware infiltrated into customers' computers and mobile phones. The only real solution is to turn the KYC rules on their head and to insist that those receiving remittances, and counterparties to transfers originating from banks and credit card accounts, be identified by means of secure and authenticated electronic ID (since paper-based or even plastic ID documents are so easy to forge and steal).
Is this likely to happen any time soon? Unfortunately not: although the Financial Action Task Force has recognised the risks behind new payment methods such as internet and mobile payments, as well as Internet-related fraud, this recognition has yet to turn into actual regulatory requirements on the one hand, and secure, scalable technological solutions on the other; and there doesn't seem to be much of a sense of urgency. To be fair, cyber crime is by no means the only means of financing terrorist organisations such as Boko Haram; but how many more innocent victims will continue to be murdered, maimed and kidnapped because practical solutions are not yet available?

Mom: Hey, are you still reading to E at night?
Me: I really haven't been consistent with reading at night since we moved, but I did vow to start back up this week. (at the time of this post, we moved a month ago)
Me: Why, ask?
Mom: Oh, I could tell you hadn't been reading to him. Whenever he comes to the house he just wants to play on the computer, IPad, or watch videos.
Me: (Silent chuckle) Really, you're funny?
{That was a conversation between me and my mom on the phone last week.}
Now folks, if any of you actually knew my mom you'd laugh too. And for the people that know her please feel free to laugh – I wont tell. Let's start with the top 5 reasons why 'E' probably hasn't read at my mom's house in the past month.
1. the IPod or IPad. Let's just say that my dad has an Ipod and Ipad, none of which I own or will probably ever own. My dad has taken the liberty to install, Angry Birds, waste paper, and a host of other games on these two gadgets. Let's just say I didn't know who an angry bird was until I was in Barnes & Noble and my son ran up to an Angry Birds merchandising table – dead serious.
2. the 'Kids Room'. There's an entire room dedicated to kids at my parents house. In this room there's a play table, toys, a couch, an area for movie watching (even old school VHS videos) and a entire assortment of videos for the picking! Oh and at this point 'E' is very fluent in changing the DVD player and putting
on his own movies? Can he do this at his mom's house? Nope!
3. the 'Computer Room'. Need I say more?
4. Errands/restaurants. Okay, so not that I don't think the kid should get out but, this kid is aware of more stores and restaurants than his mother. How do I know this, well he tells me. Either via conversation or during commutes, there's often this, "Hey Mom! There's so and so store!"
5. the 'Kindle Fire'. Last, as if all of the above weren't enough, there's the kindle fire. Huh, what's this? I mean I've overheard the commercials but I really don't pay attention. Why? Because I don't want too. I have a hard enough time figuring out what sort of phone to upgrade too. Anyway, so When I questioned why this was purchased for the child the response I got was…"Oh, well he can put books on this, play games, and he can take it on trips. HOLD IT – Did my mom just suggest 'E' could play games on this gadget? Yep! I also noticed how she tried to clean-up the conversation by saying, "he could take it on trips."
Interesting right? Not at all…it's not rocket science why my son hasn't been wanting to read at their house – at least to me it's not.
Now the question I am going to pose to my mom this week is, "Hey so could you really tell me why 'E' doesn't read much when he comes to your house?"
So what's your child reading these days?
How do you implement reading to your child as a part of your daily routine?
What are your feelings towards all of the electronic media available to young and older children today – are we in trouble?

Review Details
Product Review (submitted on April 4, 2013):
Good For Reducing Redness
I like to use product to reduce the redness on my face as a result of acne scars or pimples as they are in the "coming down" phase. I think it works well for this purpose, however I did not see any reduction in the amount of pimples on my face. I used this product as directed and while it lessened the appearance of pre-existing pimples, I do not feel it did anything to stop them from occuring in the first place.

France hand Argentina record defeat
ESPN Staff
June 24, 2012
France's Yoann Huget celebrates one of the two tries he scored in his side's six-try victory

France returned to top form with a record 49-10 victory over Argentina at the Estadio José Fierro in Tucuman on Saturday night.
Les Bleus bounced back from their narrow 23-20 defeat to the Pumas in Cordoba last weekend to end its 14-year losing streak in Argentina in some style and level the two-Test series. The visitors' six-tries-to-one eclipsed their 47-12 victory over Argentina in Buenos Aires in 1995 with fly-half Frederic Michalak impressing with a 19-point haul in his first start for five years.
France made six changes to the side edged out in their last outing including handing Agen scrum-half Maxime Machenaud his international debut while Pumas boss Santiago Phelan also opted to rotate his options ahead of their Rugby Championship bow in August.
Wingers Yoann Huget and Benjamin Fall both crossed before the break as did Machenaud who impressed throughout. Centre Maxime Mermoz heaped further woe on the hosts after the break as France continued to dominate up front before Huget added his second that was followed by another by flanker Alexandre Lapandry.
Argentina grabbed a consolation score six minutes from time through flanker Tomas de la Vega. Felipe Contepomi added the conversion to his first half penalty in what could be his last game for the Pumas with his club commitments with Top 14 side Stade Francais set to deny him the chance to grace the Rugby Championship.
"I'm disappointed that we didn't play well and when you make so many mistakes they then prove to be very expensive," said Contepomi. "We knew what the French were coming to do but we didn't know what to do to counter it."
France's victory ended a run of four games without a win having seen their Six Nations challenge falter at the hands Ireland, England and Wales before last weekend's defeat to Argentina.
The result ended Argentina's run of five straight victories that saw them power to the South American Championship title before accounting for Italy and France in their opening June internationals. They kick off their Rugby Championship against South Africa in Cape Town on August 18.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Insomnia with objective short sleep duration is related to an increased risk of mortality among men, according to research published in the Sept. 1 issue of SLEEP.
Alexandros N. Vgontzas, M.D., of the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine in Hershey, and colleagues examined mortality rates in 1,741 men and women studied in a sleep laboratory and followed up for 14 years (men) and 10 years (women). "Insomnia" was defined as a complaint of insomnia for at least a year. Sleep duration was classified into two categories: "normal sleep duration," which was at least six hours per night, and "short sleep duration," which was less than six hours.
The researchers found that men who slept less than six hours per night were four times more likely to die during the 14-year follow-up period than those with normal sleep duration and no insomnia. In patients with diabetes or hypertension, there was a marginally significant trend (P = 0.15) toward higher mortality risk from short sleep duration and insomnia. Insomnia and short sleep did not appear to affect mortality in women.
"In conclusion, insomnia with short sleep duration in men is associated with a significant risk for death, in a degree comparable to the other most common sleep disorder, sleep disordered breathing. Given the high prevalence of the disorder in the general population and the widespread misconception that this is a disorder of the 'worried well,' its diagnosis and appropriate treatment should become the target of public health policy," the authors write.
