Astro B.yond logo
ASTRO launched its own high-definition platform called Astro B.yond on 11 December 2009. Its rollout costed RM200 million, including marketing and operating costs of approximately RM150 million.[3]
It introduced a PVR with an external hard disk drive connected to the decoder. The PVR comes with an inbuilt 500GB hard disk and allows customers to record up to two live programmes at one time, rewind, and pause live TV. Recording services are also available through Astro B.yond via a compatible external hard disk drive and activation of the recording service by Astro.[4]
In April 2011, Astro B.yond introduced its IPTV platform, in association with TIME dotCom Berhad.
Astro IPTV

Launched on 20 April 2011 as Astro B.yond IPTV, it featured HD channels, a PVR, VOD channels, high-speed internet and voice services. Astro's initial target audiences were residences of high-rise buildings that were having difficulty with the installation of dishes from Astro's satellite service.[5]
Astro NJOI
Main article: Astro NJOI
Astro NJOI is a Malaysian first free-to-view satellite TV service by Astro. Launched in collaboration with the Government of Malaysia on 18 February 2012, it debuted with 18 channels and 19 radio stations.
Currently, NJOI offers 26 SDTV channels, 5 HD channels and 26 radio channels.[6]
Ultra Box
Astro Ultra is Malaysia's first UHD pay TV service that delivers content to customers through their internet connection. The service was launched in early 2020 and it gave access to Malaysians a taste of 4K resolution broadcast TV. As part of the launch, Astro currently has 1 UHD channel which also premiered a live EPL match in 4K for the very first time in Malaysia. Astro Ultra is also the gateway to cloud recording, with a monthly subscription if customers need more recording space.[7]
Service and technical information
Old (bottom) and new (top) Astro 60cm satellite dishes
Astro broadcasts on Ku-band using the transponders of the MEASAT satellite system. The reception of the service signals uses a fixed 65-cm diameter dish antenna. Astro service is currently transmitting from 3 satellites, which are Measat 3, Measat 3a, and Measat 3b.
Initially, the HDMI output of the B.yond PVR was disabled (including NJOI) if the user was not subscribed to the HD service. However, since late-2014, the HDMI output is now enabled to every customer with the release of firmware updates featuring multilingual user-interface.[8][unreliable source?]
Since its launch, Astro distributes programming with encryption to mitigate signal piracy. The receiver (also known as an IRD, or "integrated receiver-decoder") uses ISO/IEC 7816 smart cards which tells the receiver how to decrypt the programming for viewing.
The first generation of smart cards were used until 2004. The encryption uses the SECA Mediaguard.
The second generation of smart cards were introduced in 2004 and used until 2008. The encryption uses the improved version of Mediaguard.
The third generation of smart cards were introduced in 2008. This is the current "standard issue" smart card. It uses the NDS VideoGuard encryption system.
Currently, Astro uses the enhanced VideoGuard encryption system for B.yond boxes as it features smart card pairing technology, where the smart card is only allowed for the particular set-top-box issued by Astro, and it is no longer interchangeable like the legacy Astro set-top-boxes.
As of February 2015, Astro has provided services to more than 4 million subscribers, which represents more than 50% of Malaysia's television households.[9]
As of Q4 2016, Astro has 3.4 million pay-TV subscribers and 1.6 million NJOI subscribers, making a total of 5 million customers, which represents 71% of household penetration.[10]

Criticism and controversies
Monopoly over paid television market
Astro has been criticized over its monopolistic practice where it has become a dominant paid television in Malaysia while its competitors such as ABNXcess, Mega TV and MiTV are not able to compete against Astro and become defunct few years after its launch.[11][12] Previously Astro used to be the sole paid television operator in Malaysia until 2017 when another competitor, Telekom Malaysia's Unifi TV, has reportedly leading up to become the stronger cord-cutting alternative paid television to Astro as subscription revenue for Astro has fallen 2.7% in the first quarter of 2017, while Unifi TV gains subscription revenue by 58% in 2016, and the decline of Astro subscribers were attributed by Telekom Malaysia's decision to bundle Unifi TV with their own broadband internet, landline telephone and mobile network.[13]
While their exclusive rights and privileges to broadcast exclusive contents were ended on 28 February 2017, however, Astro continued to have rights to broadcast on a non-exclusive basis as their Network Facilities Provider Individual Licence and Network Service Provider Individual Licence provided under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, and Content Applications Service Provider (CASP) individual licence, will expire on 1 February 2020 and 28 February 2022. At the same time, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission would instead provide CASP individual license to 35 broadcasting companies to give customers more choices on content, in which 4 of the broadcasting companies are approved to broadcast their content through satellite television.[14]
Malaysian government's proposed plan to cracking down on Android set-top box in 2019 similar to the action taken by government of Singapore has raised concern that Astro could benefits from this crackdown and continue to control Malaysian television market should the crackdown proceeds.[15]
Sports content dispute
Astro also currently having greater control over broadcasting rights on sports events has prevent competitors from broadcasting similar sports events which Astro currently broadcasting,[14] especially all Liga Super, Piala Malaysia, FIFA World Cup 2014[16] and 2018 contents broadcast in Radio Television Malaysia's free-to-air television channels were blocked on Unifi TV.[17] The similar situation were also occurs on Media Prima when Media Prima had forced to abandon broadcasting FIFA World Cup 2014 on their television channels.[18] The unavailability of these contents on competing services were attributed to Astro demanding Telekom Malaysia and Media Prima to pay royalty fees which were too high for these companies to afford.[16] However, Telekom Malaysia had paid some royalty fees to Astro to allow Thomas Cup 2014 event broadcasts on RTM's TV1 to be allowed to shown on Unifi TV.[16] The decision to charge high royalty fees were criticized by Jeremy Kung, executive vice president of TM New Media, who believe that sports contents broadcasts on free-to-air television channels should make it available to public for free.[16] Former Information, Communications, Arts and Culture minister Rais Yatim urged the media groups who had exclusive rights to major sports events should share their contents to free-to-air television channels.[18] Pakatan Harapan's youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad expressed that the rights to broadcast English Premier League should be co-licensed with Radio Television Malaysia instead of restricted to only available on Astro.[19]
Overcharging
Astro has also been criticized over its decision to raise its services price and impose penalty fees multiple times.
In June 2007, Astro raised the service fee for about 15% and on November the same year, Astro has converted some previously free channels that they carried including Bloomberg, Al Jazeera English and CGTN into paid channels by bundling into channel packages. This makes movie channel and Chinese language television channel packages to become prohibitively expensive. Anyone who perform package downgrade or removal of some paid channels will be imposed additional RM 10 surcharge.[20] Malaysiakini writer, Cheah Kah Seng, had encouraged the readers to protest against price hike and provide instructions on how to do so.[21]
Despite the protest from subscribers, Astro continued the practice of raising the subscription fees two years later in 2009, and again in 2011, 2013 and 2014 respectively. This was due to Astro's exclusive rights to broadcast some contents through contract agreement with international television networks, which result to leave many customers without other cheaper and stronger alternatives.[22]
Astro MAX
Customers who uses Astro own personal video recorder (PVR), Astro MAX, reported that the device performance were slow and lagging, and may occasionally experience some recorded contents being lost or corrupted.[20] Other issues such as certain channels cannot be recorded were also reported.[23]
Advertising on pay television channels
Paid channels carried on Astro usually carries traditional commercial advertising that will be shown on commercial break, despite customers had paid for the paid television channels.[24]

The Arbor Company's South Fulton Location Recognized for Excellence by U.S. News
The Arbor Company announced today that Arbor Terrace at Cascade has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as part of the inaugural Best Senior Living ratings. The designation of Best Senior Living is awarded based on feedback from nationwide consumer satisfaction surveys that reflect the viewpoints of current residents and their families. Nearly 2,500 communities in the continental U.S. and Hawaii were evaluated. Areas of analysis included activity, food and dining, caregiving, and management and staff. "Until now, families have had limited information when comparing providers of independent living, assisted living, memory care or continuing care," said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News & World Report.

Q: clicking on particular link without using qtp function Can anybody help me out clicking on particular static link on webpage without  using QTP function?
I tried using WebLink after browse.page.WebLink then operation.

A: Not sure the reason you don't want to use QTP's click function, but you can try to hit the object at the DOM level with Browser().Page().Link().object.click (which really is the same as the B.P.L.Click method but at a lower level).

Attachment A: Countries and other jurisdictions that have a tax treaty with Australia
You claim the foreign income tax offset in your income tax return.
Before you calculate your net income, you must convert all foreign income deductions and foreign tax paid to Australian dollars; see Converting foreign income to Australian dollars.
To claim a foreign income tax offset of up to $1,000, you only need to record the actual amount of foreign income tax paid on your assessable income (up to $1,000).
If you are claiming a foreign income tax offset of more than $1,000, you have to work out your foreign income tax offset limit. This may result in your tax offset being reduced to the limit. Any foreign income tax paid in excess of the limit is not available to be carried forward to a later income year and cannot be refunded to you.
If you paid foreign income tax after the year in which the related income or gains have been included in your assessable income, you may amend your assessment for that year to claim the offset.
As a non-refundable tax offset, the foreign income tax offset reduces your income tax payable (including Medicare levy and Medicare levy surcharge).
Under the tax offset ordering rules, the foreign income tax offset is applied after all other non-refundable tax and non-transferable offsets. Once your tax payable has been reduced to nil, any unused foreign income tax offset is not refunded to you, nor can it be carried forward to later income years.
If you are claiming a foreign income tax offset of more than $1,000, you will first need to work out your foreign income tax offset limit. This amount is based on a comparison between your tax liability and the tax liability you would have if certain foreign-taxed and foreign-sourced income and related deductions were disregarded.
Work out the income tax payable by you (including Medicare levy and Medicare levy surcharge) for the relevant income year, excluding penalties and interest and disregarding any tax offsets.
Work out the income tax that would be payable by you (including Medicare levy and Medicare levy surcharge) excluding penalties and interest and disregarding any tax offsets, if the following assumptions were made:
your assessable income did not include
any amount included in your assessable income on which foreign income tax has been paid that counts towards your foreign income tax offset
any other income or gains from a non-Australian source
you were not entitled to the following (where such deductions are actually allowable)
debt deductions attributable to your overseas permanent establishment
any other deductions (other than debt deductions) that are reasonably related to any amount covered by the first dot point above
an amount of the foreign loss component of one or more tax losses deducted in the income year.
For the purpose of this step, where deductions relate exclusively to the disregarded income amounts, you should assume that you were not entitled to the deductions.
Whether a deduction is reasonably related to the disregarded assessable income amounts will be a question of fact depending on the circumstances of the taxpayer. The meaning of 'reasonably related to' is broad and it includes a relationship that may either be direct or indirect, provided that the relationship consists of a real connection. However, a merely remote relationship is insufficient.
Where deductions relate to both disregarded income amounts and other assessable income (as would typically be the case with head office and general administration expenses) you will need to apportion the deductions on a reasonable basis.
Allowable deductions for items such as gifts, contributions, superannuation and tax agent's fees are not considered to be reasonably related to any amount on which foreign income tax has been paid or other non-Australian source income.
Where foreign income is subject to averaging (for example, where the special professional income rules or primary production income rules apply) only the foreign income for the current year is excluded at this step. It is not necessary to separate the Australian and foreign amounts for prior years.
Take away the result of step 2 from step 1. If the result is greater than $1,000, this is your offset limit.
Anna, an Australian-resident taxpayer for the year ended 30 June 2014, has income and expenses and pays foreign income tax for the income year as follows:
(A$)
Employment income from Australia
Employment income from United States
Employment income from United Kingdom
Rental income from United Kingdom
Dividend income from United Kingdom
Interest income from United Kingdom
Total assessable income
Expenses incurred in deriving employment income from Australia
Expenses incurred in deriving employment income from United States
Expenses incurred in deriving rental income from United Kingdom
Interest (debt deduction) incurred in deriving dividend income from United Kingdom
Expenses (debt deduction) incurred in deriving interest income from United Kingdom
Gift to deductible gift recipient
Total allowable deductions
Foreign income tax paid:
Total foreign income tax paid
Anna calculates her foreign income tax offset limit as follows:
Step 1:Work out the tax payable on her taxable income
Tax on $31,130: $2,923.65 (includes Medicare levy)
Step 2:Work out the tax that would be payable if:
(a) Her assessable income does not include any of the following amounts of foreign income:
(b) Certain expenses are disregarded. These are any expenses that relate to amounts included in her assessable income on which foreign income tax has been paid, provided that tax counts towards her foreign income tax offset, or expenses relating to other non-Australian amounts that are part of her assessable income (excluding debt deductions).
Note: that the debt deductions of $100 that relate to the United Kingdom dividend and interest income are not disregarded, as Anna does not have an overseas permanent establishment. Nor is the deduction of $70 for the gift to a deductible gift recipient disregarded, as it does not reasonably relate to the excluded assessable income amounts at step 2(a).
Taxable income (disregarding step 2(a) amount):
Less allowable deduction (disregarding step 2(b) amount):
Taxable income under step 2 assumptions:
Tax on $19,830: $309.70
Step 3: Take away the result of step 2 from step 1
$2,923.65 – $309.70 = $2,613.95
This is Anna's foreign income tax offset limit. Although she has paid foreign income tax of $3,400, her foreign income tax offset is limited to $2,613.95.
The difference between the foreign income tax that Anna has paid and the offset limit cannot be refunded or carried forward to a future income year.
End of example
If a current year foreign business loss is required to be deferred because of the non-commercial business loss rules, then step 2 in the foreign income tax offset limit calculation needs to be adjusted for the amount of any foreign business loss that is deferred. This is done before working out the amount of foreign income and expenses to be disregarded.
Note that to be eligible for the foreign income tax offset where you have a net foreign business loss there must be other foreign income included in assessable income on which foreign income tax has been paid.
To work out the amount of foreign income and expenses to disregard at step 2, add back the foreign component of the current year deferred non-commercial business loss to the net foreign income amount, and then subtract the net foreign income from taxable income.
If the net foreign amount is zero or negative after adding back the deferred foreign loss component, then the foreign income tax offset amount will be the lower of the foreign income tax paid or the default foreign income tax offset limit amount of $1,000.
Assume for the year ended 30 June 2014 that Karen has an Australian salary of $60,000 and a $7,000 business loss made up of $4,000 Australian loss and $3,000 foreign loss, and the current year loss is required to be deferred as it does not meet one of the four non-commercial loss tests. There is also $20,000 of other foreign income on which foreign income tax of $2,000 has been paid. The net foreign income is ($20,000 – $3000) = $17,000.
Add the foreign component of deferred loss back to the net foreign income and then subtract the adjusted net foreign income amount from taxable income:
Australian component of net business loss
Foreign component of net business loss
Other foreign income (tax paid $2,000)
Net foreign income
Deferred loss added back
Net foreign income after adding back foreign component of deferred loss
(17,000 + 3000)
Taxable income disregarding any foreign income and expenses
(80,000 – 20,000)
Step 1: Work out the tax payable on her taxable income
Tax on $80,000: $18,747 (includes Medicare levy)
Step 2: Work out the tax that would be payable based on the stated assumptions
Taxable income under step 2 assumptions: $60,000
$18,747 – $11,947 = $6,800
In this situation, all the foreign income tax of $2,000 would be available as a tax offset as the foreign income tax offset limit exceeds the foreign income tax paid.
Differences between the Australian and foreign tax systems may lead to you paying foreign income tax in a different income year to that in which you include the related income or gains in your Australian assessable income.
If you paid foreign income tax after the year in which the related income or gains have been included in your Australian assessable income, you can amend your assessment for that year to claim the offset. You can lodge an amended assessment within four years of paying foreign income tax that counts towards your tax offset. This time period applies irrespective of when the income or gains were included in your Australian assessable income. In this situation, the foreign income tax must be paid after you have lodged your Australian income tax return for the relevant year.
The four-year amendment period also applies where there has been an increase or decrease in the amount of foreign income tax paid that counts towards your tax offset. The special amendment rules also apply to amendments initiated by us, which may have the effect of extending the normal period of review. In these cases, the four-year period starts when the increase in foreign income tax has been paid or when the foreign income tax has been reduced, for example, by way of a refund.
The special amendment rules apply only where you have paid foreign income tax or there has been an increase or decrease in the tax paid that counts towards your tax offset. In all other circumstances, the normal amendment rules apply.
For example, where an audit by us has detected an incorrect calculation of the foreign income tax offset limit affecting the amount of the foreign income tax offset previously claimed, we can only amend a taxpayer's assessment within the usual time limits set out in section 170 of the ITAA 1936.
Aust Co, an Australian resident company, sells a rental property in the US, making a gain in 2013–14. The gain is taxed in the US and Australia. Aust Co pays the US income tax before lodging its Australian return for 2013–14.
In February 2015, Aust Co receives a refund of part of the US tax paid because of the favourable outcome of a dispute over the calculation of the gain. An amendment to Aust Co's 2013–14 assessment to reflect the reduction in US tax paid, and consequently its foreign income tax offset, can be made on or before February 2019..

As an original member of the Circus Records roster, FuntCase's signature sound and incredible output have been instrumental in making the dubstep scene what it is today.

Recognized by his signature mask and merciless production style, FuntCase quickly became a fan-favorite for bass music enthusiasts around the world. With a slew of releases under his belt throughout the 2010s with his Circus Records crew, FuntCase transitioned from producer to industry trendsetter when he launched his own brand, DPMO. The brand has been synonymous with FuntCase and his top-tier curation for years under the Circus Records umbrella — in 2020, FuntCase announced the launch of his own record label of the same name, ushering in a new era as a label founder.

Tough 2 years ahead for Guyana – Opposition Leader
… says coalition Government's legacy "shameful"By Michael YoungeGuyanese will have to prepare to face the hardships that lie ahead as the Government continues to make blunder after blunder as it seeks to implement a host of projects which may not have any immediate positive impact or the ability to remove the daunting socioeconomic challenges facing the ordinary man.In fact, they should be worried about the quality of life they are likely to have under the A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change coalition Government which is squandering State resources and grinding Guyana's once buoyant and promising economy into the ground.Opposition Leader Bharrat JagdeoThese were the sentiments expressed by Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo as he gave his outlook on the country's economy and the performance of the incumbent coalition Government which has wielded Executive power since May 2015 after winning the General and Regional Elections.Jagdeo said the coalition has not lived up to many of the important promises it made on the campaign trail and is still unable to familiarise its Cabinet Ministers with the concepts of good governance, accountability and transparency.He argued that when one looks at the rhetoric and statements attributed to several high-ranking figures in the David Granger Administration, one can easily understand the limitations of the Government, its inability to properly decode and read the mood of its citizenry, and the fact that no clear leadership is being provided with respect to how to achieve the targets set out in its manifesto in order for citizens to enjoy the "good life" in the shortest possible period.President David Granger along with several members of his CabinetThe Opposition Leader said he was happy that the Guyanese are themselves seeing with their own eyes, the chaos that is taking place in every sector of the country. He said the David Granger Administration was incompetent, corrupt and arrogant as he lambasted it for failing to attract and secure any meaningful foreign direct investment to the country's ailing economy.Policy confusionJagdeo said the policy confusion and poor policy implementation and evaluation were also responsible for the Government's overall poor performance and the magnitude of problems that are facing the population which is now struggling to cope in the turbulent conditions brought on by a disillusioned Government.Jagdeo, who is also the General Secretary of the People's Progressive Party (PPP) said the PPP still believes good governance is premised on Government's ability to adopt a holistic and multiethnic approach whenever it is rolling out policies and making decisions that can prove racially, socially or politically sensitive, given Guyana's unique dynamics."They know we have the support to win the next elections… Our time is coming and we will work to ensure that we win handsomely because…We are a party for all of Guyana and not a single race… We still believe strongly that a country can only develop if all of its people move forward together," the Opposition Leader said as he slammed the coalition's piecemeal, divisive and irrational approach to handling the affairs of the country.He said that it was regrettable that close to 25,000 Guyanese have lost their jobs since the coalition came to power with more and more workers being placed on the breadline because of the inconsiderate and irrational policies of the Government which puts profits above the wellbeing of people.Corruption and incompetence"Every week is a new corruption scandal", Jagdeo opined as he said the coalition can never lecture anybody in this country again on issues related to transparency and openness. He noted that despite claiming that there was massive corruption under the PPP, the Government has not charged high ranking officials which libelled and accused in spite of the multimillion-dollar Commission of Inquires established."Why is the Integrity Commission being disbanded… Why you don't want to trace people's assets abroad….Government Ministers are collecting bribes… It's almost impossible to win anything with public tendering now…", he remarked as he gave examples of what obtains under the coalition's stewardship of the economy.He insisted the current Government would be going to the next elections with a "ton of baggage" under its belt as the cracks are being exposed on the coalition's repainted walls.Jagdeo heavily criticisd the Government's disregard for the Constitution and Guyana's financial laws as he equally expressed concern over the billions of dollars being wiped out from the public and paid as "settlement" in a number of judicial matters because of the incompetence of the Government's Chief Legal Advisors."They are squandering more…they are borrowing more…consuming more…and squandering our future…They believe they know everything", he said.The Opposition insisted that the PPP will not drop its guard and remains dedicated towards fighting for workers' rights and the rights of all law abiding citizens. He said too the party was more determined now than ever before to defend the gains made by Guyana and the right of its people to hold the Government accountable. read more

Not to be confused with the recently-reviewed Knockbox Coffee in London, this older, unrelated and very far away café is the best we found on our recent trip to Hong Kong.
We were lucky enough to head to Hong Kong earlier this month. The 'umbrella' protests had shrunk to a relatively small part of Hong Kong Island, though the fight for the region's democratic future continues.
It was our second trip to Hong Kong – we were here back in 2010. The coffee scene has moved on – it's easier than it was to find decent coffee.
Like many places, however, it's still hard to find outstanding coffee. The closest we came was Knockbox, in Kowloon, part of Hong Kong's mainland peninsula.
It's slightly snobby, with a sign professing "No decaf, no soy, no skimmed milk, no different size, no syrup… because that's how coffee should be". I have mixed feelings about this approach. In any event, it seems fairly unusual in Hong Kong – even the top speciality coffee houses tend to pander to the masses with syrups, frothy cappuccinos and so on.
Not so Knockbox, which focuses on what it considers 'proper' artisan coffee. Snobby it may be, but the staff, thankfully, seem very friendly and down-to-earth. One was kind enough to offer my pregnant wife a free banana – we left a good tip to compensate!
The guest coffees rotate regularly. My black coffee, made with a syphon, was the best I had in Hong Kong.
If Knockbox has a flaw, it's that it's a little cramped. The baristas dare not even leave the confines of the counter, preferring instead to reach over when the coffee's ready.
Despite its shortcomings, Knockbox was our favourite Hong Kong coffee shop. For an overview of others we visited, plus some more suggestions and photos, see our blog post.
We visited on 31 October 2014.


I haven't been reviewing books on this site, mainly because so many of them flood into my office that I cannot keep up with them. But the public relations reps for a couple of recent books have been pushing hard for mentions. The books are good, important contributions to the food movement, and they deserve readers.
I'm listing them in alphabetical order by title in two batches, part now and part in a second post. Some of them I've blurbed, some not, but all have plenty of useful and interesting to say. Enjoy!

Q: Getting Image height before the image loads in HTML I have a table that is dynamically created using DIVs. Each row of the table has two images. I want to set the height for the div (that represents a particular row) to the height of image that is greater of the two images being displayed in that particular row. The images to displayed will always change, and they are from an external server.
How do I set the height for my div so that I can fit images?

A: If you are trying to dynamically resize a couple of divs in a row within a table, you maybe better off using a html table instead and having each image within a td tag. This will make tr tag resize accordingly for the image in each cell.

A:   this.img = new Image();
  this.img.src = url;
  alert(this.img.width);

gives the width while
  var img = new Image();
  img.src = url;
  alert(img.width);

doesnt..
dunno why.

A: You can:

*

*Not specify the height of the div, and let it expand automatically

*Once the image is loaded do:
document.getElementById("myDiv").height = document.getElementById("myImage").height

A: Pre-load them into javascript image objects then just reference the height and width.
Might take some clever devilry to work in all browsers...
function getSize(imgSrc){

    var aImg = new Image();

    aImg.src = imgSrc;

    aHeight = newImg.height;
    aWidth = newImg.width;

}

A: We'll need a little more info to be very useful. You can get the height & width of an image after the page loads via Javascript (info), then you could resize the height of the div after loading. Otherwise, you're really out of luck since HTML itself doesn't have anything.
If you're using PHP, there's getimagesize(), which you can use if you're building the site dynamically with PHP. There are similar functions for other languages, but we'd need a little more info.

A: If you want the browser to do layout based on the height of an image, before it fetches the image, you need to send that height to the browser somewhere.  This will require something server-side.  The fastest thing would be to insert in into the html directly.  Slower but more elegant would be to fetch it image by image with <script src=> statements that get instructions from a special bit of javascript-generating cgi.  (The speed difference comes from network round trips.)
If you're willing to resize after the data arrives, it's much simpler.  Either slap an onload handler on the images or stick them in normal dom (e.g. an actual table, though you can do it with divs and css) and let the layout engine do the work.

A: This question has been answered in multiple ways, and you asked the additional question "Won't this make the UI look bad?"
The answer to that question is Yes. The best thing for you to do in most cases will be to set the height of your div to something that looks good, then scale the images down to fit. This will make the rendering faster, and the final product will look better and more professional.
But that's just my own opinion, though. I have no empirical data to back that up.
