Listen to this story
"The British soldiers were very intrigued by Canadian officers. The Canadian officers were different than the British officers in the sense that, without being too informal, they took more time with the troops than the British officers."
On the Normandy Landing
On the British Army in World War Two
The Canadian Encyclopedia is your authoritative reference of all things Canadian.
As I was born in 1920, I did my studies in French. At the time, there were classical colleges and I was at the Jesuits in Montréal (Québec) on Bleury Street. From there, with a bachelor's degree from l'Université de Montréal, I went to study engineering at McGill in 1940. Evidently, between both wars from 1918 to 1939, all universities had a COTC (Canadian Officer Training Corps) and l'Université de Montréal had a French one called the CEOC ("Corps école d'élèves officiers"). That's when I started wearing a uniform. At the beginning of 1944, the British Army had a severe shortage of infantry officers. They received permission from the Canadian government to send military representatives from the British Army from Victoria (British Columbia) all the way to Halifax (Nova Scotia) to ask Canadian infantry officers if they had a surplus of officers at that time in Montreal or Canada. Because except for Dieppe, (the Dieppe Raid in Normandy on August 19, 1942), we hadn't been involved in large-scale military battles during the Second World War. So, we had a surplus of infantry officers across Canada. So that's how the British government received authorization from the Canadian government to come and request volunteers among the Canadian infantry officers to go and serve with the British Army.
The British soldiers were very intrigued by Canadian officers. The Canadian officers were different than the British officers in the sense that, without being too informal, they took more time with the troops than the British officers. The troops would go through their marching exercises and when they were finished, the British officer would say, "Sergeant!" and then "Over to you sergeant." He left the troops with the sergeant or with the sergeant-major and then he would leave. Canadian officers were used to being closer to the troops and speaking with them. If they were having problems, we would try to solve them, and so on. The British soldiers really appreciated that; the way Canadian officers worked which was very different than the British officers. Without being overly informal with the troops, the Canadian officers took a little more time with the troops. So, in general we, the Canadian officers, were very popular with the British Army.
I was assigned to the Devonshire Regiment, 231st Brigade of the 50th British Division. It was a division of the Regular Army so there were older servicemen from before the war. It wasn't a regiment of military militia that was mobilised during the war; it was a regiment of the Regular Army from before the war.
First and foremost, in Normandy after the landing (June 1944), after the initial push and until the end of June, war in the trenches, like in 1914-1918, had started again. There were night patrols, we pushed and every week or every other week, there were surprise attacks in various areas. Until the end of July or the beginning of August, it was a big push from the British and Canadian troops who were closer to the sea. The British were in the middle. The Americans were in lower France. We pushed directly across Germany to make it to Denmark. The Americans went towards Berlin. The British Army made its way to Denmark while the Canadians went to Holland. The war ended on the German and Danish borders and we celebrated with the British Army.
I saw some difficult things but that's life. You have to forget and keep going. One becomes rather fatalistic with the war. You know that some people are being killed and others are being injured, losing members and so on. But man being what he is, you always hope that it won't be you. It's always the other guy who will be injured and crippled. That's how you survive and adapt better to everything that happens in life.

Melonie Johnson to be new president of Borgata casino
WAYNE PARRY
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The new leader of Atlantic City's Borgata casino is believed to be the resort's first African-American woman to serve as a casino president.
Melonie Johnson, the current president of MGM National Harbor near Washington, D.C., will take over at the Borgata, the top-performing of Atlantic City's nine casinos.
The company did not formally announce the move, which was part of a number of executive transfers, but it did confirm it in response to an inquiry.
No starting date was given for her at the Borgata, where she will replace Marcus Glover. The company declined to make her available for an interview Monday.
She took over as president of the Inner Harbor casino in Nov. 2017, having served previously as president and chief operating officer of Gold Strike Casino Resort in Tunica, Mississippi.
Before that she worked as assistant general manager at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in West Virginia; chief financial officer and interim general manager at Hollywood Casino Aurora in Illinois; and as regional vice president of operations and vice president of finance for Caesars Entertainment Corp.
Daniel Heneghan, a casino analyst and historian who has followed the Atlantic City casino industry from its inception in 1978 as a newspaper reporter and later as the spokesman for the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, said Johnson is believed to be the first African-American woman to hold the title of president at an Atlantic City casino.
Opened in 2003, the Borgata is Atlantic City's top-earning casino. Last year, it won nearly $800 million from gamblers, more than twice the amount won by its nearest competitors.
Like most of the casinos around the nation, Atlantic City's casinos remain closed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Sir Nigel Gresley overhaul – Update 33
The painstaking restoration of Sir Nigel Gresley continues as the summer heatwave becomes a distant memory.
Week commencing 1 October 2018
The tender tank had steel plate inserted and welded in position this week. This fills the holes in the water filler space side sheet. Work continues on fitting new plate to the bulkhead that separates the coal space from the water filler space. Now it's cooler in the workshop on top of the tender productivity is returning to normal.
New plate welded in to the rear left side of the tender
More work has been done on the front of the tender with the removal of the rivets holding the bottom plate on to the original 1928 side angles. We also had a visit from a steel supplier to measure up, as they have been asked to quote for the supply of new plate. Our normal suppliers are on Teesside, but for large pieces of plate we would incur delivery charges.
Work has continued this week on the tender frames with needle-gunning of the frame plates complete, attention is now concentrated on the dragboxes. The frames are now being closely inspected so that a refurbishment programme can be planned. The measurement of the frames, axleboxes, wheelsets and bearings continued this week. Cleaning and painting of the wheelsets continues.
The tender rear dragbox also forms the rear bufferbeam. As with the front dragbox a lot of surface area in a complex casting to strip down
Work continues on stripping, cleaning and painting the tender wheelsets
The tender wheelsets have plates riveted on their insides
The neck bushes were removed from the tender vacuum brake cylinders and a start has been made on the manufacture of new ones.
Work continues on the replacement of some of the smaller-diameter air system pipework, replacing it with pipe more resistant to damage. The problem is that to identify the existing pipework type, fittings have to be de-soldered and removed, though our volunteer leading this job is adept at identifying pipe types by weight.
The steam pipes and lens ring sealing faces being prepared for testing
Work has also progressed on the manufacture of new pipe clamps for the lubrication pipes and the atomisers have been retrieved from store for refurbishment. The atomisers are in the process of being dismantled and the internals cleaned out and inspected.
The atomisers are stripped and inspected. The atomisers mix boiler steam with oil before it enters the cylinders and steam chests
We now have all six coupled axleboxes on site and preparation work for their refitting in under way. The axleboxes have been cleaned down and a start has been made in the manufacture and fitting of the locking screws for the thrusts.
The brackets that fit in the bottom of the axleboxes, on top of which the underkeep oil baths fit, were tried in this week. They have to be fitted before the axleboxes go into the frames. More work is required on fitting these. The brackets have a large pin passing through them and the axlebox, from which the main spring is fastened. These pins wear and eventually require replacement. We now have a full serviceable set as where required new have been made at York.
The steam pipes from the supeheater header to the cylinders are to be pressure tested. This week the faces of the pipe flanges were lapped with a tool made at York and the lens rings cleaned up.
The front coupling hook was fitted with a lock nut this week after being made from one of the old nuts, and the cotter to the end of the hook shaft was fitted. The cotter again being original but requiring modification to fit the new arrangement.
The front hook spring arrangement as Gresley intended it to be
Weeks commencing 8 and 15 October 2018
Surgery continues on the tender tank in the water filler space and preparing the area around the front of the tank to receive new plate. The area just inside the front of the tank was ground and wirebrushed so that new plate can be welded in. The larger pieces of new plate have now been delivered from a local supplier. Other pieces that can be transported more easily will be supplied from Teesside where steel is cheaper. The rivets holding the tender floor to the original 1928 side brackets were burnt out as part of the the floor plate removal.
The inside of the tank has seen some cleaning out by the 007 Gang of junior volunteers. The team also started the removal of the tender front water gauge as access below it is required to access the floor plate for replacement.
The rear bufferbeam of the tender is actually the back face of the trailing dragbox. As elsewhere around the loco it is stamped with a diamond containing the letters LNER
On the trailing tender dragbox are historical markings including the LNER in a diamond stamp found on the loco frames and bogie
The descaling of the leading tender dragbox has now been completed. The rear dragbox is being continued. The frame stretchers and internal pipework left in place are now being stripped and descaled. With the tank off it will now be possible to simplify the routing of the TPWS electrical conduit and some air system pipework which was fitted with the tank in place. The TPWS conduit has been removed along with its brackets. The brackets were supported by a rather flimsy length of angle and the pipe fitting and electrical teams decided it should be replaced with something more substantial, so the old has been cut out. The electrical conduit and fittings required have been listed and are in the process of being obtained.
The electrical systems on the loco are being examined and refurbished with work on the tender TPWS cable and conduit
The AWS electrical system overhaul continues with the battery box refurbishment. The solenoid valve that operates the cautionary horn in the cab has been electrically tested.
While needle-gunning around the tender frames continues, the wheelsets have received further painting in primer and undercoat. The tender draw gear rubber springs and plates are now being cleaned down and examined. They are suitable for further service so the plates, originally galvanised mild steel, have been painted with a zinc paint. One new plate is required and this is on order and to be made in stainless steel.
The leading tender frame angle tops are wasted and it was decided they should be replaced with new plate. The flanges were burnt off and existing metal prepared for welding on the new flanges. New metal has been trimmed to size and is tacked in place for final welding.
At the front of the tender work continues on the renewal of wasted material. The joint between the floor and front plates is cleaned of all rust before the plate is cut away
The detailed examination of the tender frames continues with only one loose rivet found, which has now been removed. The area of frames at the leading end are wasted in places and these will be thickened by the addition of weld. Welding the frames will have to be carried out by a coded welder and be accompanied by documentation. A start on the prep for this was made by grinding back to bright uncorroded material which will accept a good weld. More needs to be done. A supporting beam will be fitted between the frames to ensure the frame spacing is not affected during welding. The end plates for the beam have been made.
The examination of the tender has revealed numerous historical repairs. This shows the trailing-right bufferbeam which has seen extensive welding
The measurement of the tender frames, wheelsets and axleboxes has now been completed with the distance across the frames between the horns being taken. The results will now be tabulated and the required dimensions for the brasses calculated. The tender wheelset journals are now being dressed.
The tender frames at the front insides has seen much material corroded away. Here the area is cleaned for thickening with weld
More pipework inside the loco frames has been replaced where thicker-walled pipe is required, and pipe to the M8 drivers air brake valve is now being positioned. The reverser stand has now been fitted to the loco. This is quite an operation as it requires the removal of the cab. With the reverser in position this allows the fitting of the M8 as it is mounted on a bracket hung off the reverser.
The overhauled reverser is lowered on to the cab floor plate. The cab has previously been removed
When the reverser was in, the floor support rests on the reverser flange. This means that the floor needs to be removed before the reverser, in addition the floor support is not secured at the reverser, so a new arrangement has been made that secures the floor support to the loco and is clear of the reverser, and this adds more rigidity. The pipe-runs around the reverser were examined and are clear. A board representing the cab floor has been fitted and the casing below the M8 fitted. Again there was no fouling of pipes, though it has been suggested that the casing be renewed as it bears witness to hundreds of strikes of the fireman's shovel.
The reverser mounted on the loco with the M8 drivers air brake application valve in place
The atomiser refurbishment is continuing. All the seats and parts inside the atomisers have been removed and all the small steam and oilways tested to make sure they are clear. A number of seats require renewal.
The coupled wheel axleboxes are being examined before fitting to the journals. The horn faces have not been re-metalled but have needed dressing to remove burrs and damage from the oilways and around the spring hanger holes.
One of the driving axleboxes on the surface tables for more dimensional checks before refitting
The last of the axlebox thrust securing screws were made and fitted. The tender brake cylinder bronze neck bushes are now being made.
The screws securing the thrusts have now all been cut and finished flush with the surface of the axleboxes. They need to be flush to allow the fitting of the oil seal. Measurements have been taken of the axleboxes and the spring hanger brackets and this will be recorded before the axleboxes are refitted. The axleboxes were put up on the surface table and horns measured for parallelism so that we can estimate the amount of fitting that will be required. Meanwhile, three of the six spring hangers have now had new bushes fitted.
The tender rubber springs are in remarkably good condition though of BR origin and can be reused. A view before the steel plate is painted with a protective coating
The right-driving crankpin dressing has been completed, and the slidebar shims have now all been ground to size.
The slidebar shims were finished last week and they are now ready for fitting
The bottom flange of the leading safety valve has been examined and a drawing for new has been produced. It was checked and we are now getting quotations for manufacture. We now have quotations for the casting of the bronze coupling and outside connecting rod bushes so we can now progress to getting them ordered.
Bolting was obtained for testing the steam pipes and a plate to seal the end of the pipes during test has been machined. A couple of the pipes were clamped together and pressure-tested satisfactorily to the boiler test pressure.
At Llangollen the ashpan has been fitted to the upturned boiler. As expected a little bending is required to get a close fit to the foundation ring. The front of the ashpan fits really well and the remaining gaps will be closed by heating and forming the ashpan flange.
Not mentioned in the report but work has restarted on the repinning of the ashpan damper mechanism. The damper handle is marked 4903 which became 60034 Lord Farringdon
Week commencing 22 October 2018
The bogie sidebearers after final welding are now refitted to the loco with close-fitting pins. The overall dimensions of the brackets have been taken and the fitted bolts can now be finish-machined. The bolts are already pre-machined and just need the fitted diameter and their heads finishing off.
The last three coupled wheel spring hanger brackets have had new bushes machined and fitted. The coupled axlebox cover plates have been dressed and are now being painted. The removal of burrs and minor marking to the white-metalled horns was required to allow accurate measurement. The dimensions taken over the last couple of weeks have been analysed and it was decided that some fitting along the horns is required. This is ongoing.
The coupled axlebox spring hangers are completed with the fitting of new bushes
The pressure-testing of the steam pipes has continued this week. The steel pipes are now completed and have tested satisfactorily so attention has now moved on to the cast-iron ones that fasten on to the tops of the cylinder castings. Being iron they need a little more cleaning up and require plugging along their lengths as there are entries for lubrication, pressure take offs etc. The entry threads are being cleaned up and are in the process of being plugged.
The steel steam pipes shown have been tested, so attention now moves to the cast-iron ones
Needle-gunning is continuing on the trailing tender dragbox. The leading and trailing dragboxes have also been measured to assess the degree of wastage these castings have seen. The trailing dragbox measures in excess of the original drawing specified thicknesses in many places and apart from surface corrosion does not seem to have lost any significant material. The leading dragbox has seen wastage, the dimensions have been recorded, and will be considered.
The frames at the front of the tender require rebuilding as they are wasted below acceptable thickness. A beam has now been fabricated and this is fitted across the front of the frames, hopefully preventing any distortion of the frames when they are welded.
The tender frame hornstays are now in the process of repair work to improve their fit onto the frames. These are an important structural component and their fit is important to prevent damage to the frames. The hornstays will be rebuilt with weld and this will be then carefully taken back until a good tight fit on the frames is achieved. The first is now being worked on to identify a procedure that we will be able to apply to the rest.
Examination of the tender frames is now focusing on the detection of cracks and defects
Inspection and testing of the tender spring hanger brackets and horn cutouts is continuing. The spring hanger brackets show evidence of numerous weld repairs in the past so take a careful looking at. The tender wheelset journals are being dressed to remove wear marks under the outer flange and this work has continued this week.
The tender brake cylinder overhaul continues with the right-hand cylinder being machined to remove damage and wear to the mounting trunions. The cylinder was taken to the works of K D Flavell and put on their borer. The machined trunnions are now ready to be bushed, following an approved BR repair procedure.
Pipework around the M8 valve continues while the pipe-runs through the tender frames are also being progressed. New material has been obtained and cut for the support brackets for the electrical conduit and air system pipework. New conduit and fittings have been obtained for the TPWS cable runs.
Below the cab the damper handle and cross-shaft pinning is completed and the cross shaft has been finally fitted.
A view looking up under the cab. The damper cross-shaft can be seen and the handle with its new pin can be made out
The middle valve gear middle valve spindle extension has been cleaned and prepared for test. On the outside gear a liner has been fitted to the inside-right expansion link trunnion bearing housing. This was drawn into the housing as it is a tight fit. The liner was then finished to provide a good fit on the bearing. The final dressing of the outside driving crankpins was completed last week and this week they received a final polish.
Pressure-testing of the cast-iron steam pipes has had to be put on hold as a crack has been discovered in one while the sealing face was being prepared. A repair will be necessary. Considering the condition of the other pipes they have obviously seen a long service life so more comprehensive refurbishment work on these pipes is now being planned. The rationale being if we have to pay for casting repair we should take the opportunity to carry out refurbishment work on a couple of other war wounds.
One of the cast-iron steam pipes that are mounted on top of the cylinder castings
These steam pipes have been measured for thickness and though they have clearly lost material through wastage they are still serviceable. To ensure we have a full record of the pipe thickness along their lengths more internal decarboning will be required.
To keep the pressure-testers busy we have moved on to testing the cylinder relief valves. The first two were tested this week, with less-than-satisfactory results so we are investigating why.
The buckeye coupling overhaul progressed by stripping this week. We are following the original BR overhaul instructions which details permissible wear and repair procedures. This work is ongoing.
As with the buckeye, most working hours are now being spent on the tender. This week the new plate for the tender front-bottom plate was lifted and fastened to the exiting plate. The new plate was then marked through and drilling of fastening holes in the new plate is progressing.
There are larger cutouts to be put in for the drawgear pins and water valve rods, but we didn't have access to the burning gear this week. However, good progress has been made. The area inside and out where the old bottom plate will have to be removed has seen further preparation by the removal of scale, paint and filler.
The inspection of the tender frames continued this week with the completion of the testing of the spring hanger brackets and the horn cutouts. Next to one of the cutouts was a rather alarming looking crack perhaps six inches long. As these areas on the frames have seen previous repairs for such defects I thought this may lead to another major frame repair, however testing did not indicate any great depth. The defect was ground out by the removal of the surface skin of the plate. It appears that it was a surface defect rolled in to the plate, possibly at the Parkgate Foundry, Rotherham when manufactured c1928.
The crack in the tender frames which was easily ground out. Above it can be seen the weld where repair plates have previously been put in
Inspection and testing of the tender frames also included the leading dragbox and the leading two frame stretchers, where a couple of failed rivets were found. The first of the refitted tender hornstays was completed this week and is now a satisfyingly snug fit. The second hornstay is now being worked on.
The dressing of the tender wheelset journal ends continued this week by Chris Whiteley, and a fine job is being done. The last one is now well on the way to completion.
The bottom of the loco bogie stretcher is now being painted as we work toward refitting the bogie. One of the completed side bearers is pinned in place
The blocked mounting hole in the front tender balance weight was drilled out this week as part of its refurbishment before refitting.
The trailing dragbox received more descaling this week. The AWS battery box and associated components continue their refurbishment.
The machined tender vacuum cylinder was returned to York this week.
Work continues in the cab on piping, on rerouting of the steam and air supplies to the repositioned governor. Quotations for the steel pipe and fittings for the tender and the steam supply to the governor have been obtained.
The middle valve gear has now all been collected together with the last pins and the outside valve spindle extension links retrieved from store. All are now being examined for defects and measured to determine if they are suitable for further use.
The equal lever of the Gresley conjugated valve gear undergoes examination

-- Section 315 of the Communications Act requires broadcast stations to identify sponsors of political ads in files available for public viewing. Not every station is complying, according to extensive research by civic watchdog groups, such as the Sunlight Foundation, the Campaign Legal Center and Common Cause.
-- Section 317 requires advertisers and broadcasters to disclose to viewers and listeners the "true identity" of the person, group or entity paying for a political ad.
Many don't, and the FCC has failed to enforce this rule.
Last week, 168 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives signed a letter urging FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to require that broadcasters reveal the names of political-ad sponsors on the air.
According to OpenSecrets.org, conservative groups by far dominate this type of campaign advertising.
Democracy is weakened when influence over the public airwaves is controlled by dark-money groups, whether on the right or the left, which have the power to raise and spend unlimited funds.
Citizens have a right to know when and why mega-rich individuals, such as former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the industrialist Koch brothers, pour their wealth into advocacy. That's why the FCC must do more as a regulator to restore trust in American democracy by ensuring campaign commercials are more transparent.

Thank you for help.
I'm using TYPO3 7.6.14.

A: Flexform settings are stored as XML in one field the database. To read a value from it, you have to parse the XML first.
So it's not possible to use something like ###REC_FIELD_settings.type###.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, if I could go back in time to when I was in high school, knowing what I know now … (fill in the blank with what you would've done differently to create a more positive outcome in your life now)?
Stop. Don't go there … ever again.
I know. I set you up for the same fantasy that most aging athletes go through. For me, it's happened more often than I'd like to admit.
Most often, facing your own mortality is the main reason to want to go back in time.
You remember how things were different. You didn't wake up feeling stiff and achy when you were in your teenage years, or even your twenties. And you didn't feel vulnerable to injury when you would train and play hard. Now it's almost a regular occurrence.
Those feelings are a living nightmare for any athlete. So of course you'd want to daydream about the past to avoid dealing with your reality now.
It took me years to wise up and figure out that the game of "what if's" is an exercise in futility. I came to realize that it detracts from moving forward in a positive way.
If you're feeling "stuck" in your aging body, then keep reading to improve your perspective. And learn how to take proper action today.
First, it's important to embrace your truth. Aside from your genes, your physical condition right now is a reflection of everything from your past. That includes what you did right, what you did wrong, and what you didn't do at all. Be that for better or worse.
I'm talking about the accumulation of physical stress.
Of course, that accumulation is not all negative. Some of it has been beneficial to your fitness goals. Here's an example. Your years of consistent physical activity have helped you improve your fitness. This includes building stronger muscles, and improving your cardiovascular fitness and mental toughness. And that has helped to raise your self-esteem and desire to be successful.
But on the other side, that accumulation can also take away from the freedom in your body that you once had.
The repetitive stress from exercise and compensations from prior injury all adds up.
It causes a slow degeneration of your body that lurks behind the scenes when you're younger. Then, one day in your thirties, it rears its ugly head with a level of breakdown that you can't ignore.
Halloween is over now, so let's put that monster to sleep. For good.
1. The longer you put off identifying and addressing your deficiencies, the longer they will perpetuate. It will take longer to unglue them and regain optimal function.
2. What you accumulate over time, doesn't go away overnight. It often takes several months of doing the all right things to get your body right. So patience and perseverance are necessary virtues to practice.
3. You need to take an ongoing inventory of what's working and what's not working in your training plan. As well in your daily life. Then, adjust until everything is moving in the right direction.
4. Be proactive with areas of your body that are feeling good. So that they continue on that path. This means doing pre-hab exercises on a regular basis to maintain your mobility and stability.
5. Remember that more is not always better. It's often what gets most athletes in trouble in the first place. Instead, relish yourself in quality and making steady progress over time.
Take action today by signing up for my Search and Rescue Mobility Program. You'll receive access to a simple self-evaluation tool to discover your functional baseline. And then I will assign a daily self-care routine for you to follow. So you can build the habit towards permanent results.


The Lumbee Tribe has 55,000 members which makes it the largest American Indian tribe east of the Mississippi River and the ninth largest tribe in the United States. The tribal center is in Pembroke, North Carolina, and most Lumbee Indians live in the counties of Robeson, Hoke, Cumberland and Scotland. Their Cheraw and related Siouan-speaking ancestors have lived in the area since the 1700s.
The Lumbee tribe was recognized by the state of North Carolina in 1885. In 1887, the state established the Croatan Normal Indian School, which is today the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
The U.S. government recognized the Lumbee as an Indian people in May 1956 but precluded them from applying through the Bureau of Indian Affairs process to become a federally recognized tribe. Lumbee leaders have made numerous attempts for full federal recognition since then but been defeated so far. Here is the tribe's complete timeline of Lumbee history.

This sample shows an implementation of a SharePoint Taxonomy Picker control that can be used on provider hosted SharePoint apps.

### Applies to ###
-  Office 365 Multi Tenant (MT)
-  Office 365 Dedicated (D)
-  SharePoint 2013 on-premises

### Prerequisites ###
- It's important that the provider hosted add-in that's running the taxonomy picker is using the same IE security zone as the SharePoint site it's installed on. If you get "Sorry we had trouble accessing your site" errors then please check this.
- You have to set the Options 'This service application is the default storage location for Keywords.' and 'This service application is the default storage location for column specific term sets.' on one of the Managed Metadata Service Application(s) Proxy Properties. If you get "Loading TermSet failed. Please refresh your browser and try again." errors then please check this.

# How to use the taxonomy picker in your provider hosted SharePoint add-in #

Using the Taxonomy Picker in your provider hosted add-in does not require many steps?

## Ensure you trigger the creation of an add-in web ##
When you build a provider hosted add-in it does not necessarily have an add-in web associated with it whereas a SharePoint hosted add-in always has an add-in web.

Since the Taxonomy Picker control uses the CSOM object model from JavaScript it's required to have an add-in web.

To ensure you have an add-in web you can just add an empty module to your SharePoint add-in as shown below:

![Screenshot of module](http://i.imgur.com/FBh3CfY.png "Screenshot of module")

## Add-In permissions ##
The Taxonomy Picker communicates with SharePoint's Managed Metadata Service, which requires special permissions in the add-in model.  Working with Closed TermSets will require Read permission on the Taxonomy permission scope.  To enable the creation of new terms in Open TermSets, the add-in will require Write permission on the Taxonomy permission scope.  These permissions can be set in the AppManifest.xml as seen below:

![Screenshot of add-in permissions](http://i.imgur.com/MjQHxN1.png "Screenshot of add-in permissions")

## Required files ##
The Taxonomy Picker is implemented as a jQuery extension, which means it requires a reference to jQuery on and pages it will be used. In addition to jQuery, the Taxonomy Picker control requires the reference of a taxonomypicker.js and taxonomypicker.css files included in the sample solution.

![Screenshot of script tag](http://i.imgur.com/azNdlUM.png "Screenshot of script tags")

## Loading required scripts and establishing clientcontext ##
The Taxonomy Picker uses SharePoint's JavaScript Client Object Model (JSOM) for communication back to SharePoint and the Managed Metadata Service.  The JavaScript below shows how to load the appropriate JSOM scripts, initialize SharePoint ClientContext, and wiring up a RequestExecutor to make cross-domain calls.  Notice the reference to sp.taxonomy.js, which is a JSOM script specific to working with taxonomies:

```javascript
//Wait for the page to load
$(document).ready(function () {

    //Get the URI decoded SharePoint site url from the SPHostUrl parameter.
    var spHostUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
    var appWebUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
    var spLanguage = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPLanguage'));

    //Build absolute path to the layouts root with the spHostUrl
    var layoutsRoot = spHostUrl + '/_layouts/15/';

    //load all appropriate scripts for the page to function
    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.Runtime.js',
        function () {
            $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.js',
                function () {
                    //Load the SP.UI.Controls.js file to render the Add-In Chrome
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.UI.Controls.js', renderSPChrome);

                    //load scripts for cross-domain calls
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.RequestExecutor.js', function () {
                        context = new SP.ClientContext(appWebUrl);
                        var factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appWebUrl);
                        context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
                    });

                    //load scripts for calling taxonomy APIs
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'init.js',
                        function () {
                            $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'sp.taxonomy.js',
                                function () {
                                    //READY TO INITALIZE TAXONOMY PICKERS
                                });
                        });
                });
        });
});
```

## Adding the taxonomy picker to html ##
Any hidden input element can be converted to a Taxonomy Picker.  This includes regular hidden input elements and server-side controls that render hidden inputs elements (ex: asp:HiddenField):

### Client-side example ###

```html
<input type="hidden" id="taxPickerGeography" />
```

### Server-side example ###

```c#
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="taxPickerGeography" />
```

### Transforming the html into a taxonomy picker control ###
The Taxonomy Picker is implemented as a jQuery extension, which makes it extremely easy to wire-up on the hidden input element:

```javascript
$('#taxPickerGeography').taxpicker({
        isMulti: false,
        allowFillIn: false,
        termSetId: '1c4da890-60c8-4b91-ad3a-cf79ebe1281a'
}, context);
```

### Parameters ###
The first parameter of the Taxonomy Picker sets the options for the control. The properties that can be set include:

| Parameter | Description |
| ----------|-------------|
| isMulti | Boolean indicating if taxonomy picker support multiple value |
| isReadOnly | Boolean indicating if the taxonomy picker is rendered in read only mode |
| allowFillIn | Boolean indicating if the control allows fill=ins (Open TermSets only) |
| enterFillIn | Boolean indicating if the control allows fill=ins using enter or tab instead the button (Open TermSets only) |
| termSetId | the GUID of the TermSet to bind against (available from Term Mgmt) |
| useHashtags | Boolean indicating if the default hashtags TermSet should be used |
| useKeyword | Boolean indicating if the default keywords TermSet should be used |
| maxSuggestions | integer for the max number of suggestions to list (defaults is 10) |
| lcid | the locale ID for creating terms (default is 1033) |
| language | the language code for the control (defaults to en=us) context. |
| useContainsSuggestions | optional boolean indicating if the suggestions should search with "contains" matching (default pattern is "starts with") |

 The second parameter is an initialized SP.ClientContext object

## Sample implementations ##

```javascript
//Single-select open termset field
$('#taxPickerOpenSingle').taxpicker({
 isMulti: false,
 allowFillIn: true,
 termSetId: 'ac8b3d2f-37e9-4f75-8f67-6fb8f8bfb39b' }
, context);
```

```javascript
//Multi-select closed termset field
$('#taxPickerClosedMulti').taxpicker({
 isMulti: true,
 allowFillIn: false,
 termSetId: '1c4da890-60c8-4b91-ad3a-cf79ebe1281a' }
, context);
```

```javascript
//Use default Hashtags termset and limit the suggestions to 5
$('#taxPickerHashtags').taxpicker({
 isMulti: true,
 allowFillIn: true,
 useHashtags: true,
 maxSuggestions: 5 }
, context);
```

```javascript
//Use default keywords termset with a locale id of 1031 and German
$('#taxPickerKeywords').taxpicker({
 isMulti: true,
 allowFillIn: true,
 useKeywords: true,
 lcid: 1031,
 language: 'de-de' }
, context);
```

## Setting values ##
The sample project includes a TaxonomyPickerExtensions.cs file, containing extension methods to help set values of a Taxonomy Picker server-side.  This includes extension methods for converting TaxonomyFieldValue and TaxonomyFieldValueCollection objects into JSON that the Taxonomy Picker script can read from the hidden fields.  Here is an example of using these methods to set the value of two Taxonomy Picker fields using C#:

```c#
//The following code shows how to set a taxonomy field server-side
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(Context);
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
{
    var list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("MyList");
    var listItem = list.GetItemById(1);

    clientContext.Load(listItem);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

    taxPickerGeographySingle.Value =
        ((TaxonomyFieldValue)listItem["SomeTaxFieldSingle"]).Serialize();
    taxPickerGeographyMulti.Value =
        ((TaxonomyFieldValueCollection)listItem["SomeTaxFieldMulti"]).Serialize();
}
```

## Reading values ##
The Taxonomy Picker will store the selected terms in the hidden field using JSON string format.  These values can be accessed by other client-side scripts or server-side following a post.  The JSON will include the Term Name, Id, and PathOfTerm (ex: World;North America;United States).  JSON.parse can be used client-side to convert the hidden input's value to a typed object and any number of server-side libraries can be used (ex: JSON.net)

## Language support ##
The strings displayed by the control will be loaded dynamically based on the passed language. This requires you to pass the language via taking over the SPLanguage url parameter (see sample) or by hardcoding it. If no language is passed the control assumes the language is English (en-us).
$('#taxPickerKeywords').taxpicker({ isMulti: true, allowFillIn: true, useKeywords: true, lcid: 1031, language: 'de-de' }, context);
If you would like to add additional languages you need to create the appropriate JavaScript language resource files:

![Screenshot of js files](http://i.imgur.com/Ul6QIXU.png "Screenshot of js files")

Such a resource file is simple collection of global constants:

![Screenshot of resource files](http://i.imgur.com/pNQpQst.png "Screenshot of resource files")

# Appendix A: Using the taxonomypicker on hierarchical termsets #
The taxonomy picker can be used when a cascaded taxonomy picker control is required in your SharePoint Provider Hosted Add-In and you have Term Set structure similar to mentioned below:
![Typical Term Set](http://i.imgur.com/bQk27IP.png)

And you wanted to represent them like this with cascading filter functionality:

![Sample Picker UI](http://i.imgur.com/h2XkNXw.png)

Below you'll find the app.js file, containing initialization methods to set up the cascading taxonomy picker control.

Please ensure that you are already having a Term Set containing terms for at least 2 level.

Find out the GUID of the Term Set to bind (using Site Settings --> Term Store Management) & update below line with actual Term Set GUID.

```JavaScript
$('#taxPickerContinent').taxpicker({ isMulti: false, allowFillIn: false, useKeywords: false, termSetId: "<<TERMSET GUID>>", levelToShowTerms: 1 }, context, initializeCountryTaxPicker);

$('#taxPickerCountry').taxpicker({ isMulti: false, allowFillIn: false, useKeywords: false, termSetId: "<<TERMSET GUID>>", filterTermId: this._selectedTerms[0].Id, levelToShowTerms: 2, useTermSetasRootNode: false }, context, initializeRegionTaxPicker);

$('#taxPickerRegion').taxpicker({ isMulti: false, allowFillIn: false, useKeywords: false, termSetId: "<<TERMSET GUID>>", filterTermId: this._selectedTerms[0].Id, levelToShowTerms: 3, useTermSetasRootNode: false }, context);

```

To implement this you'll need to instantiate multiple taxonomy picker controls in app.js:

```JavaScript
// variable used for cross site CSOM calls
var context;
// variable to hold index of intialized taxPicker controls
var taxPickerIndex = {};

//Wait for the page to load
$(document).ready(function () {

    //Get the URI decoded SharePoint site url from the SPHostUrl parameter.
    var spHostUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
    var appWebUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
    var spLanguage = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPLanguage'));

    //Build absolute path to the layouts root with the spHostUrl
    var layoutsRoot = spHostUrl + '/_layouts/15/';

    //load all appropriate scripts for the page to function
    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.Runtime.js',
        function () {
            $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.js',
                function () {
                    //Load the SP.UI.Controls.js file to render the Add-In Chrome
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.UI.Controls.js', renderSPChrome);

                    //load scripts for cross site calls (needed to use the people picker control in an IFrame)
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.RequestExecutor.js', function () {
                        context = new SP.ClientContext(appWebUrl);
                        var factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appWebUrl);
                        context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
                    });

                    //load scripts for calling taxonomy APIs
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'init.js',
                        function () {
                            $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'sp.taxonomy.js',
                                function () {
                                    //bind the taxonomy picker to the default keywords termset
                                    $('#taxPickerKeywords').taxpicker({ isMulti: true, allowFillIn: true, useKeywords: true }, context);

                                    $('#taxPickerContinent').taxpicker({ isMulti: false, allowFillIn: false, useKeywords: false, termSetId: "9df7c69b-267c-4b8b-ab3c-ac5c15cbbfae", levelToShowTerms: 1 }, context, initializeCountryTaxPicker);
                                    taxPickerIndex["#taxPickerContinent"] = 0;
                                });
                        });
                });
        });
});

function initializeCountryTaxPicker() {
    if (this._selectedTerms.length > 0) {
        $('#taxPickerCountry').taxpicker({ isMulti: false, allowFillIn: false, useKeywords: false, termSetId: "9df7c69b-267c-4b8b-ab3c-ac5c15cbbfae", filterTermId: this._selectedTerms[0].Id, levelToShowTerms: 2, useTermSetasRootNode: false }, context, initializeRegionTaxPicker);
        taxPickerIndex["#taxPickerCountry"] = 4;
    }
}

function initializeRegionTaxPicker() {
    if (this._selectedTerms.length > 0) {
        $('#taxPickerRegion').taxpicker({ isMulti: false, allowFillIn: false, useKeywords: false, termSetId: "9df7c69b-267c-4b8b-ab3c-ac5c15cbbfae", filterTermId: this._selectedTerms[0].Id, levelToShowTerms: 3, useTermSetasRootNode: false }, context);
        taxPickerIndex["#taxPickerRegion"] = 5;
    }
}

        return taxPickerIndex[propertyName];
    }
};

//function to get a parameter value by a specific key

    var params = document.URL.split('?')[1].split('&');
    var strParams = '';
    for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1) {
        var singleParam = params[i].split('=');
        if (singleParam[0] == urlParameterKey)
            return singleParam[1];
    }
}

function chromeLoaded() {
    $('body').show();
}

//function callback to render chrome after SP.UI.Controls.js loads
function renderSPChrome() {
    var icon = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostLogoUrl'));

    //Set the chrome options for launching Help, Account, and Contact pages
    var options = {
        'appTitle': document.title,
        'appIconUrl': icon,
        'onCssLoaded': 'chromeLoaded()'
    };

    //Load the Chrome Control in the divSPChrome element of the page
    var chromeNavigation = new SP.UI.Controls.Navigation('divSPChrome', options);
    chromeNavigation.setVisible(true);
}
```

And properly define them in the aspx page:
```ASPX
<body style="display: none;">
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnableCdn="True" />

US firm fined for abiding by boycott
http://www.michaelfreund.org/9131/us-firm-fined-for-abiding-by-boycott
The US Department of Commerce has imposed a civil penalty on an American firm for violating legal restrictions against complying with the Arab boycott of Israel.
The firm, Cooper Tools Industrial Ltd. - a wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary of Delaware-based Cooper US, Inc. - was ordered to pay $27,000 in fines last week after company officials allegedly "furnished 15 items of prohibited information about business relationships with Israel to persons in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates," a Department of Commerce statement said.
US law bars firms from providing information for the purpose of compliance with boycott-related requests. Arab states that enforce the boycott frequently ask companies to certify that their products were not manufactured in Israel and do not contain Israeli-made components. In addition, companies are often asked to attest that they do not do business with the Jewish state.
The penalty was imposed on Cooper Tools after the company consented to settle charges made against it by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), whose Office of Anti-boycott Compliance oversees enforcement of US anti-boycott regulations.
"The Department of Commerce stands firm in its policy of opposing restrictive trade practices or boycotts against Israel, and will vigorously pursue those who violate the anti-boycott regulations," said Assistant US Secretary of Commerce for Export Enforcement Darryl W. Jackson.
The company was reported to have voluntarily disclosed the transactions to federal officials and was said to have cooperated fully with the subsequent investigation.

Q: How do I make python wait while processing other code? I have this piece of code:
import time

def printAtInterval():
    print('text')
    time.sleep(60 - time.time() % 60)

def getCommand():
    command = input()
    if command == 'help':
        print('something')

while True:
    getCommand()
    printAtInterval()

The problem with this code is obvious, I can't input anything while the process is waiting for the time to elapse.
I'd like to have them both working at the same time.

Café Express è un film del 1980 diretto da Nanni Loy e interpretato da Nino Manfredi.

Trama
Michele Abbagnano è un invalido napoletano di mezza età che per sopravvivere e mantenere il figlio quattordicenne in un collegio, si improvvisa venditore abusivo di caffè, viaggiando clandestinamente sulla tratta ferroviaria notturna da Vallo della Lucania a Napoli.

Il film narra delle vicissitudini e degli espedienti del protagonista per sbarcare il lunario, braccato dal personale ferroviario per la sua attività abusiva (oltre al fatto che viaggia sempre senza biglietto), e da un trio di ladruncoli che lo vorrebbero come complice coatto per consumare i loro borseggi.

Produzione
Il soggetto nasce sull'onda del successo della miniserie televisiva Viaggio in seconda classe (1978), ideata anch'essa da Nanni Loy, una candid camera tra gli scompartimenti dei treni italiani, dove i passeggeri, anziché essere vittime di scherzi e situazioni paradossali, raccontano le proprie storie ed impressioni sulla realtà contemporanea.

Tra questi, il regista intervistò lungamente un uomo con berretto a coppola ed una mano paralizzata, che parlava prevalentemente il napoletano e si arrangiava a vendere il caffè fatto in casa sui treni, e che più tardi lo ispirò per il personaggio del film.

Incassi
Il film è stato il settimo maggiore incasso nella stagione cinematografica italiana 1979-80 con oltre 7 miliardi di lire.

Riconoscimenti

 Nastro d'argento al migliore attore protagonista
 Nastro d'argento al migliore soggetto

When I was a kid, Turkey Trots were few and far between in Ohio. We had our turkey dinner earlier than most, around noon, and after the dishes were washed and dried; before the coffee was brewed and dessert served, we walked up to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo from my yiayia's house on West 47th in Old Brooklyn. It was a brisk fifteen minute walk in the cold, but once we were there, all of the animals were active in the frigid temperatures. The zoo was also free on Thanksgiving to Cuyahoga County residents.
Seeing that I usually walked on Thanksgiving, a Turkey Trot sounds like a logical progression. I never ran a Turkey Trot until this past Thanksgiving while visiting my friend, Cathy, and her family in Corpus Christi, Texas. I guess I should have known my turkey trot drought would come to an end on this trip since Cathy is one of my best running friends.
Cathy is known among my running friends as the Bionic woman or the Iron Woman. A rest day for her is teaching a spin class after a 10 mile run. Seriously. Two days after running Boston for the third time, she's running an easy 8 miler. Two days after a 50K, she's hitting the pavement again and running long by the end of the week. I guess that's the only way I can keep up with this incredible triathlete, Boston marathoner, and ultra runner: hope she's still tired from her 50K trail race.
She wasn't. At the start of the Turkey Trot, Cathy kept a conservative pace, but by the end of the race, I couldn't catch her. Maybe it was the heat? Maybe it was the humidity? Maybe it was the Texas sun? Maybe she's just Cathy: invincible.
The Corpus Christi Turkey Trot is the only trot in the city. About 500 runners ran the two loops for a total of four miles that began in one of the historic sections of the city. The course wasn't really scenic, but it was flat, which is a win in my book. I never thought I would run a Turkey Trot in shorts and a tank top. Thank you, Cathy, for making this happen. We will see you later!


Our previous post was an introduction to employer contributions in the Philippines with a closer look on BIR and the SSS. In this post, we'll give you an idea about how health insurance works in the Philippines. PhilHealth is the health insurance institution that all private and government companies are required to register their new employees to. Here is a list of benefits that PhilHealth covers. Unlike the SSS, the employer's share towards insurance is equal to the employee's share towards insurance. The contribution schedule is available here.
Step 1: Employers need to first register their business through the Philippines Business Directory.
Step 2: All employees must submit the PhilHealth Member Registration Form (PMRF) to the HR department. Once that is done, you need to register your employees by filling out Employee Data Record (ER1) Form and submit the ER1 Form with the PMRF for each employee.
Member Data Record (MDR) of registered employees.
The Certificate of Registration is required to be displayed clearly in your business's offices.
For new employees in the company, you will have to file the ER2 form to ensure that they are covered by PhilHealth too. Make sure to ask them if the have their PIN so that you can add it to the ER2 form. The form should be submitted to PhilHealth within 30 days of the new employees coming into office. For separated employees, Form RF1 must be filled and submitted within 30 days of the employee leaving. To amend employer data, ER3 form must be filed along with supporting documents.
This is it for PhilHealth. For reference, here is how PayrollHero calculates PhilHealth deductions. Check out Part III of our posts on employee contributions. We give you a crash course on Pag-IBIG deductions.

Discussion in 'Mortgage arrears & negative equity case studies' started by fineline, 1 Feb 2019.
While I have since restructured my loan with the bank, and am back on track, just after we came to agreement, I received a letter to say that my arrears were not in fact €52,000, but only €8,500. These arrears were accumulated over a period of 4 years approx.
The loan was sold to a 'vulture fund' in 2014/15 (?). Very soon thereafter, they started writing to me to tell me my mortgage was unsustainable (they denied me the interest only arrangements I had with previous provider), and eventually after a couple of years, gave me some very disheartening options, of which I chose voluntary sale as full and final settlement. This was a 6 months agreement, where it was my responsibility to manage the sale, including select an agreed agent. Four months into the agreement, the bank contacted directly the sales agent and told them not to market the property until further notice. I got this in writing from the agent having pressured them to do so for several weeks.
The issue I have is that had the correct amount of arrears been calculated for the bank's credit committee, I believe they may have made different options available. Further, had i known the correct amount of arrears, this would have only cost €180 per month additional to keep me compliant, and I could have borrowed this from family.
My house was on the market twice - a hugely stressful time which took its toll on my relationship and family (resulting in separation), my physical and mental health. Eventually, I went to NewBeginning, where I was told that the bank was bullying me. I stepped away from the voluntary sale, and NB helped me get the mortgage re-structured.
Have I any recourse over this fiasco, or do I have to put up and shut up?
Did you go back to New Beginning with this information? They should be your first port of call.
Who was the initial lender? Was it Bank of Scotland?
When exactly did the €52,000 arrears arise?
Did they arise before or after the sale?
Did they arise because you were no longer on interest only and so were just paying the interest?
BoSI calculated arrears incorrectly, but generally the overstatement was about 30% for someone who was paying a good bit towards their mortgage.
When the fund bought the loan how many years were left to run on the mortgage?
How much was the balance on the mortgage?
I received a letter to say that my arrears were not in fact €52,000, but only €8,500. These arrears were accumulated over a period of 4 years approx.
That is an amazing difference to accumulate so quickly.
I suspect that you were still on the interest only agreement but they put you on capital and interest by mistake, so the arrears built up that way.
The systematic error that they made wouldn't account for that level of difference.
Are you in a position to refinance the mortgage?
They might be happy to get rid of a €480k tracker mortgage, but you would want a discount of around €100k to surrender such a valuable tracker.
Brendan, they didn't put me on C+I by mistake - they did it intentionally, as they rejected an application to remain on interest only - the previous bank had let me renew it every 6 months for about 3 -4 years. Once they were expecting C+I payments, I could only pay the interest (plus a bit), so the monthly payments fell short by about 1000 per month. hence the 52K (by my reckoning).
However, in late 2017, it appears the regulator chased these banks to report arrears accurately, after which I got a letter to say the arrears were 8.5K, and not 52K as reported when they tried to take my house.
I'm not in a position to refinance yet, but perhaps in a a couple of years' time.
BoSI renewed the interest only every 6 months, but were under no obligation to do so and at some stage would have said your mortgage was not sustainable.
If your mortgage fell short by €1,000 a month, then you would accumulate around €12,000 a year in arrears.
So I can't see how it was only €8.5k after 4 years.
The mistake that the lenders made was complicated but generally over a 4 year period, I would expect the arrears to be overstated by only around 10% or 20%.
It's hard to know how to handle this.
Your mortgage was clearly unsustainable without getting a deal from BoSI and later from the fund. If they had not done a deal, your arrears would have been probably €100,000. Don't forget there is no obligation on the fund to do a deal. You have no right to a deal. They could have just refused and pushed for a repossession.
So I am not sure that you have a case. But I would be interested in hearing what NB has to say about it.
they have tried to explain the difference in the 'methodology' used to calculate the arrears before and after (52K vs 9K). I wrote to them to ask them to explain to me, in simple terms, how they calculated it beforehand, and how they calculate it now. I also asked them to explain why they didn't afford me the opportunity to pay an additional 180 per month, which would have kept my account compliant.
"the methodology we previously used to recalculate you Conractual Monthly Subscription (CMS) included the accumulated arrears on your mortgage account up to the date of recalculation to ensure that you clear your mortgage within the remaining term. Prior to the recalculation your arrears balance comprised the shortfall between: (i) your total monthly repayments due since your loan was drawn down and (ii) the payment actually made by you since your loan was drawn down"
"We have adopted a revised CMS calculation methodology with effect from 01 Nov 2017 which will ensure your arrears figure remains independent of your CMS should it be calculated in the future, for example if your interest rate changes. The recalculated arrears figure ow comprises the shortfall between: (i) your total monthly repayments due since your CMS was last calculated and (ii) the payments actually made by you since your CMS was last calculated"
That is what I assume happened, but I can't figure out how it would overstate it by so much.
Just to explain what this means in simple terms.
Let's say you owe €120 on 1 January with 12 months left at 0% interest.
Your repayment is €10 per month.
If you don't pay anything in January and February, you still owe €120.
The correct way to do it is to say that your arrears are €20 and your repayments are still €10 a month.
If you skip March's payment, your arrears rise to €30.
Or they could capitalise the arrears and say - "OK, you can't pay the €20, so you owe €120 with 10 months left, so your repayment is increased to €12 a month"
your repayment is now €12 a month. This is incorrect.
So if you don't pay March's payment, your arrears would be €32 - or overstated by €2.
"your CMS was last calculated on 31st March 2017 when the interest rate was changed from 0.00% to 1.25%. The arrears figure at 30 Nov 2017 was €8918 and this comprises of the total monthly repayments due since the CMS was last calculated of €19,671, less the payments actually made to the account since the CMS was last calculated of €10,752"
I am not totally financially illiterate, but this still does not make sense to me. Is CMS an industry-wide term, or term used by the Financial Regulator? And, even if it were, why would they re-calculate this CMS at periodic times, and why March 2017, etc etc.
Perhaps you can make sense of it for me?
I have never heard the term CMS before.
They recalculate the monthly payment when something changes - e.g. when you pay off a capital sum or when interest rates change.
In your case, they say that the rate changed from 0% to 1.25%.
To be fair, that sounds like a great deal. They were not charging you any interest at all.
No surcharge interest was charged. It was banned by the CCMA in 2010.
The arrears is a notional figure and does not affect the balance.
Apologies, that was not stated correctly. The regular letters I received stated that "interest is charged on capital on arrears at the rate of interest on your mortgage". I assumed that this meant I was paying additional interest on the arrears part, and now that this was reduced by 80%, there would have been less interest which had been due.
No. A mortgage is just like a bank overdraft.
You pay interest on the balance.
The difference is that in a mortgage, there is an artificial distinction between "capital" and "arrears". So your loan of €100,000 is called €80,000 capital and €20,000 arrears.
You are still charged interest on the €100,000.
€95,000 capital and €5,000 arrears.
I would also involve the FSPO . This is an excellent service and its free.

Q: How add button in settings.bundle in ios I am using settings.bundle in my iOS app but problem is how to add button in that page and handling that button. Can any body help me on this.

A: It's not possible. You cant run code in setting bundle. So it is useless. The system only supports interacting with the values from within your app.

A: The only thing you can do there is to include a list of options. There are apps like Netflix which have a kind of "action button". They implement a radio control (boolean) to reset their options. So when the app starts again it checks for the value of the property and it deletes everything if the radio is set to yes.
