Two critical Microsoft vulnerabilities have been recently detected and could be easily exploited by attackers to gain access to users' systems and devices.
During its monthly October 2017 Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released its security updates for multiple vulnerabilities found and managed to patch 62 security flaws that affected the Windows OS, the Office package, Skype for Business, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and the Chakra Core browser engine.
Of all them, two security vulnerabilities were marked as "important" and with a high risk of affecting users' online security.
Once the current user is logged on with the administrator rights, an attacker can gain full control of the affected system. He can execute malicious code in the context and can do the followings: install programs, view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Users who have fewer user rights on the system could be less affected than those who operate with administrative rights.
A user needs to open an especially crafted file with an infected version of Microsoft Office software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending the crafted file to the user via email and trying to convince him to open that file. As we know, it's been done before, countless times. For example, Facebook users were a target for online criminals who tried to trick them by clicking on (suspicious) links received from friends.
This malware, which replicated over Facebook's internal messaging system, Messenger, spreaded quickly and was supposed to convince users to click on a malicious link, and then redirected the entire traffic through a large set of malicious domains.
If we consider a web-based attack scenario, the cyber criminal could host a website (or use a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing the specially crafted file, aimed at exploiting the vulnerability.
The attacker's main goal is to convince users to click on a malicious link, and then open the malicious file.
It's worth mentioning that this vulnerability was initially discovered by Qihoo 360 security researchers and reported to Microsoft. Researchers have found that "the attack was initiated in August and the launch date of the attack can be dated back to September.". This is considered to be a zero-day vulnerability.
This attack in the wild starts with RTF (Rich Text Format) files containing highly targeted phishing subfiles to convince users to open them. The attacker triggered a remote arbitrary code execution by using Microsoft Word tags and corresponding attributions.
Here's how the payload delivery happens and how the execution code took advantage of a dll hijack vulnerability from a well-known security software.
The second security vulnerability (CVE-2017-11779) includes a remote code execution bug found in Microsoft Windows DNS.
Before providing more details about this vulnerability, let's explain what DNS is and how a DNS spoofing can occur.
It is a core part of how the Internet works, because it translates domain names, such as WordPress.org, into IP addresses, helping users recover the information they need very quickly.
DNS is an essential part of our digital life, because it's everywhere and used by everyone with an Internet connection. It helps redirect users' traffic to the right direction. It is also a plaintext protocol and vulnerable to a MiTM attack, and for this, DNSSEC was created.
It is a set of extensions that add security to the DNS protocol by enabling DNS responses to be validated. With this layer of protection, the DNS protocol is much less susceptible to different types of attacks, especially DNS spoofing attacks.
DNS Spoofing (also known as DNS cache poisoning), is a type of attack that exploits vulnerabilities in DNS to send Internet traffic away from legitimate servers and redirect it to fake ones.
It is a Man-in-the-Middle technique used to give false DNS information to a host so that when someone tries to browse a legitimate site at the IP address, he will be sent to a fake one with a fake IP address created by an attacker.
This critical vulnerability patched by Microsoft refers to a remote code execution flaw found in Windows Domain Name System (DNS) client in Windows 8 and 10. It is related with the DNSAPI.dll, which is the core Windows file that makes DNS requests and receives responses from DNS server. It occurs when it fails to properly handle DNS responses.
Basically, this vulnerability is related to a record of NSEC type that becomes vulnerable when the signing between DNS stamps occur.
This following figure shows DNS resource records in the zone contose.com and after zone signing.
An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code on Windows clients or Windows server installations in the context of the Local System Account.
To exploit it, the cyber criminals use a malicious DNS server to send corrupted DNS responses to targeted users.
It was initially discovered by Nick Freeman, a security researcher from BishopFox, who showed how an attacker can control your DNS server (via a Man-in-the-Middle attack or a malicious coffee-shop hotspot) and gain access to a user's' system.
This affects any application that makes DNS queries (web browsers, mail client), not just browsers applications, said the researcher.
For more in-depth technical details, read the Bishop Fox's blog post.
CVE-2017-11779: Multiple Heap Buffer Overflows In the Windows DNS Client from Bishop Fox on Vimeo.
We remind you that every computer makes DNS requests meaning that it is very vulnerable to such cyber attacks. Online criminals can find multiple advantages to targeting DNS services, and can easily target both organizations and end users.
Install all the (latest) Windows updates for your operating system and keep all your applications up to date.
Block external access at the organization's network, unless external parties require service.
Use multiple layers of protection combining an antivirus program and a proactive cyber security software solution (together).
A cyber security solution provides DNS-based traffic filtering as part of its protection suite to make your system more resilient to cyber attacks.

Every time Adaptive Server is stopped and restarted, recovery is performed automatically on each database. Automatic recovery is discussed in detail in Chapter 11, "Developing a Backup and Recovery Plan," in the System Administration Guide: Volume 2.
After recovery is complete, the new sort order and character set definitions are loaded.
If you have changed the sort order, Adaptive Server switches to single-user mode to allow the necessary updates to system tables and to prevent other users from using the server. Each table with a character-based index is automatically checked to see if any indexes have been corrupted by the sort order change. Character-based indexes in tables are automatically rebuilt, if necessary, using the new sort order definition.
After the system indexes are rebuilt, character-based user indexes are marked "suspect" in the sysindexes system table. User tables with suspect indexes are marked "read-only" in sysobjects to prevent updates to these tables and use of the "suspect" indexes until they have been checked and, if necessary, rebuilt.
Range-partitioned user tables are checked for character-based partition keys, and are marked "suspect" if the sort order change or character set change might cause partition corruption.
Next, the new sort order information replaces the old information in the area of the disk that holds configuration information. Adaptive Server then shuts down so that it starts for the next session with a complete and accurate set of system information.

Mrs Biggs is a 2012 British television series based on the true story of the wife of the Great Train Robber, Ronnie Biggs. The series covers Mrs Charmian Biggs' journey from naïve young woman to Biggs' wife and the mother of three young sons. Money worries force her husband to ask for a loan from Bruce Reynolds, planner of one of the most famous crimes in British history, the Great Train Robbery of August 1963. The aftermath of the train robbery and Biggs subsequent escape from prison leads to a life of flight for Charmian and her children as she tries to keep the family together.

Charmian Biggs is played by Sheridan Smith; Ronnie Biggs is played by Daniel Mays. The series was written by Jeff Pope, in co-operation with the real Charmian Biggs. Smith's performance as Charmian received widespread critical acclaim, and she ultimately won the 2013 BAFTA Television Award for Best Actress.

Production notes
The series was filmed in London, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Manchester, Adelaide and Melbourne.

Scenes of the Great Train Robbery were recreated on the East Lancashire Railway using a locomotive from the same batch of engines involved in the 1963 raid.

Charmian Biggs acted as a consultant on the series and flew to Britain from Australia in February 2012, just before filming began. She also visited Ronnie, who was ill; the couple had divorced in 1976 but remain on good terms. Some of the names in the series were changed for legal reasons.

Charmian met actress Sheridan Smith and sat with her at the manuscript read-through.

While filming in Australia, Sheridan Smith and Daniel Mays spent an evening at Charmian's house, where she showed them her archive of personal letters and scrapbooks.

Charmian herself appears in the background of one of the scenes in the public gallery of the Australian court when the lawyer is arguing for her to be released.

When green sea turtles hatch from their eggs, they roam the open ocean for many years until they reach sub-adulthood (around 5 - 15 years old). Once green turtles reach sub-adulthood, they commonly inhabit coastal areas to forage for long periods of time. Green turtles only leave these foraging grounds for breeding, with male turtles leaving for breeding every year and female turtles leaving for breeding every 2 to 3 years. Overall, this means that green turtles spend most of their life at their coastal foraging grounds. Due to the power plants located along these foraging grounds and increasing ocean temperatures due to climate change, green turtles are now living in Southern California waters year-round.
Two green turtle coastal foraging grounds in Southern California are in Long Beach and San Diego. Both cities are located close to two of the largest metropolitan areas in California, receive runoff from the surrounding urban areas, and are home to some of the largest ports in the West Coast of the United States. As a result, the waters around the Long Beach and San Diego area are polluted with contaminants from human activities.
Fig. 2: Green turtle carapace includes a small layer of keratin, which is the same protein that is in your fingernails. As a result, carapace sampling is a very non-invasive way of measuring trace metal contamination in green turtles. Green turtle carapace samples are done by collecting scute shavings using a blade, as pictured above.
Two of the most common types of contaminants found are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and trace metals. Trace metals are metals that are normally found in the environment at low levels but have increased concentrations in the environment through human activities such as the dust from car brakes, industrial processes, and urban runoff. Persistent organic pollutants are man-made chemicals designed to last for long periods of time. These include chemicals such as PCBs, DDTs, and PBDEs, which were used as flame-retardants and pesticides. These contaminants are known to cause negative health effects in wildlife, including neurotoxicity, immunosuppression, and sudden death. Examining these contaminants in green sea turtles, a species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, is important to understanding how green turtles could be affected by urban pollution.
Fig. 3: This research was done in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Specifically, with personnel from the Long Beach Regional Office and from Southwest Fisheries Science Center. After blood and scute samples were collected, many green turtles from San Diego Bay were outfitted with satellite tracking tags to assess their movements throughout the Bay.
To examine this problem, Barraza et al. (in review) conducted a study on the two groups of green turtles, specifically those inhabiting the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and South San Diego Bay and examined their trace metal and POP levels. Green turtles were captured in each area and had blood and scute samples taken before being released back into the wild. Barraza et al. (in review) found that green turtles had different contaminants based on where they lived. Green turtles inhabiting the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge had higher selenium and cadmium concentrations in blood than green turtles from San Diego Bay. While green turtles from San Diego Bay had higher PCBs concentrations in blood than green turtles from the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge. These findings indicate that each aggregation of green turtles faces different potential risks based on the urban areas they inhabit. As global ocean temperatures increase, and green turtle populations continue to recover, habitats like the Southern California area will likely have more green turtles living there year-round. As a result, it will become more important to study the effects of these contaminants on green sea turtle health and reproduction.

Nobu Su v (1) Clarksons Platou Futures Limited (2) Mr Vassillis Karakoulakis  is the latest Court of Appeal decision to consider the meaning of "knowledge" under s.14A of the Limitation Act. Emma Pearson-Winstone highlights the implications for professional indemnity insurers and their insureds.
The Claimant was a businessman who, prior to the 2008 financial crisis, owned a number of companies in the shipping industry. The first Defendant was a brokering firm and the second defendant an employee of the first Defendant. In July 2008 the Claimant and Defendant negotiated a forward freight agreement (FFA) with another company, Lakatamia Shipping Company Limited ("Lakatamia"), with the intention that the Claimant would buy it back one month later at a higher price. However, the Claimant failed to buy back the FFA and Lakatamia issued proceedings against the Claimant in 2011, alleging that he was personally liable for the losses it then suffered on re-sale. In August 2011 a freezing order was issued against the Claimant and his companies.
Permission to appeal the freezing order was granted and in July 2012 the Court of Appeal found there was good arguable cause which should be explored at trial. The trial in the main proceedings came before the Court in October 2014. Judgment was given holding the Claimant personally liable along with his companies for the breach of the FFA Contract. He was ordered to pay Lakatamia over $37.8 million.
In November 2015 the Claimant issued proceedings against the Defendants, alleging breach of warranty of authority and duty of care for failing to ensure that only his companies were parties to the FFA contract. The Defendants sought summary judgment on the basis that, under sections 2 and 5 of the Limitation Act 1980, the claim in both tort and contract was time barred at the latest on 8 July 2014 (being six years from the date the Claimant was personally bound to the FFA contract). To the extent the Claimant sought to rely on s14A of the 1980 Act, the Defendants submitted that he had the relevant knowledge as at July 2012 – when the Court of Appeal found there was good cause for the Claimant to be personally liable which was to be explored at trial. The Claimant argued that relevant knowledge for the purposes of the 1980 Act did not arise until 5 November 2014, the date of the judgment in the Lakatamia trial, and that it was not until this date that he could be said to have suffered damage.
The Commercial Court found in favour of the Defendants and refused the Claimant permission to appeal. The Court of Appeal granted the Claimant permission to appeal solely in relation to the date of knowledge point arising from s14A.
Firstly, s.14A only applies to claims in negligence and as such provided the Claimant no assistance in relation to his claim for breach of contract.
Secondly, s.14A permits a claim to be brought within 6 years from the accrual of the cause of action or, if later, three years from the earliest date on which the Claimant had both the knowledge required and a right to bring such an action.
Thirdly, the knowledge required means knowledge of two matters, namely (a) facts that would lead a reasonable person who had suffered damage to consider it sufficiently serious to commence proceedings; and (b) knowledge that the damage was attributable to the act or omission which is alleged to constitute negligence and the identity of the Defendant.
Fourthly, a person's knowledge includes knowledge which he might reasonably have been expected to acquire from facts observable by him or ascertainable by him, or facts ascertainable by him with the help of appropriate expert evidence (which it was reasonable for him to seek).
He then considered the guidance given in Haward v Fawcetts  UKHL 9 on the meaning of "knowledge" in section 14A,citing Lord Nicholls' observation that knowledge "does not mean knowing for certain and beyond possibility of contradiction. It means knowing with sufficient confidence to justify embarking on the preliminaries to the issue of a writ … the claimant must know enough for it to be reasonable to begin to investigate further."
In applying these principles the Court of Appeal found that by the end of July 2012 the Claimant plainly knew enough to start asking questions and investigating the possibility that he was personally liable and so had a claim against the Defendants. Not only was it asserted by Lakatamia in its particulars of claim that the Claimant personally was a party to the FFA contract, but the Claimant also knew that both the High Court and Court of Appeal considered Lakatamia had a good arguable case that he was personally liable.
This case highlights the benefit of scrutinising all possible available defences early on. The Defendants successfully defeated this claim on a summary judgment application (albeit appealed to the Court of Appeal), potentially avoiding at best considerable costs exposure and at worst a potential multi-million dollar judgment. However, the case also reaffirms that the question of when time begins to run for limitation purposes remains complex and highly fact-sensitive and will be evaluated on the specific facts of the case.

The Ezra Klein Show: Elizabeth Kolbert: We have locked in centuries of climate change. Elizabeth Kolbert covers climate change for the New Yorker. She's the Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction. And she recently wrote a paragraph I can't stop thinking about. "The problem with global warming—and the reason it continues to resist illustration, even as the streets flood and the forests die and the mussels rot on the shores—is that experience is an inadequate guide to what's going on. The climate operates on a time delay. When carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere, it takes decades—in a technical sense, millennia—for the earth to equilibrate. This summer's fish kill was a product of warming that had become inevitable twenty or thirty years ago, and the warming that's being locked in today won't be fully felt until today's toddlers reach middle age. In effect, we are living in the climate of the past, but already we've determined the climate's future."Kolbert lives, to an unusual degree, in the planet's future. She travels to the places around the world where the climate of tomorrow is visible today. She has watched glaciers melting, and seen species dying. And she is able to convey both the science and the cost with a rare lucidity. Talking with Kolbert left me with an unnerving thought. We look back on past eras in human history and judge them morally failed. We think of the Spanish Inquisition or the Mongol hordes and believe ourselves civilized, rational, moral in a way our ancestors weren't. But if the science is right, and we do unto our descendants what the data says we are doing to them, we will be judged monsters. And it will be all the worse because we knew what we were doing and we knew how to stop, but we decided it was easier to disbelieve the science or ignore the consequences. Kolbert and I talk about the consequences, but also about what would be necessary to stabilize the climate and back off the mass extinction event that is currently underway. We discuss geoengineering, political will, the environmental cost of meat, and what individuals can and can't do. We talk about Trump's cabinet, about whether technological innovation will save us, and if pricing carbon is enough. We talk about whether hope remains a realistic emotion when it comes to our environmental future.Books:-Edward Abbe's "Desert Solitaire"-Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring"-David G.

Rank #1: Should You Pay Off Debt Or Invest?. #188 How our net worth is more than our financial capital but includes our lifetime earning capacity or human capital. What role does debt play in investing in human capital and how our human capital impacts how we allocate our financial investments. Why stocks aren't less risky in the long-term. How to invest a lump sum payment and how I recently did so in today's market environment. More information, including show notes, can be found here. Episode SummaryAt some point in our lives, we all have to deal with the issue of debt. It's a specter that hangs over our heads and gives us an uneasy feeling until it is gone. Debt has a cost, naturally so because it demands interest all the time. A question that comes up often is whether or not it is better to pay off debt immediately, primarily because it IS debt, or if a better return can be achieved, should available money be placed into investments instead? You could run the numbers and figure out what looks best on paper and go with that. But the answer is honestly not that simple. This episode is designed to walk you through many of the issues that should be considered when answering the question.If it costs you less numerically to pay interest on loans than you could make on investments, you should invest instead of paying off debt, right? Maybe it's not that simpleLet's do the math. If you are paying 5% for your home mortgage and have a lump sum of cash available to pay it off, but you also have the opportunity to lend the money to a real estate crowdfunding platform with a guaranteed return of 9%, isn't it true that you would make 4% more by investing in the crowdfunding platform than you would if you paid off the mortgage? Yes, that's what the numbers say, but there's more to be considered. You want to think about things like human capital, the nature of the debt, and the mental cost you bear for having the debt hanging over you.Most people should try to do both: invest and pay off debt. Here's why-When it comes to the choice between paying off debt with available funds or investing those funds elsewhere, there is no cut-and-dried answer that fits everyone. But after doing his research in thinking through the issue, David feels that most people should try to do both. While there is a psychological benefit to paying off debt, there is also the knowledge and discipline that comes from investing.In This Episode You'll Learn[0:46] Welcome to the show – and could you help spread the word?[1:55] Should you pay off student loans first or put your cash into investments?[4:20] We've got to consider the cost of developing "human capital"[9:40] What is debt and how does short-term VS long-term debt apply[12:45] How do human capital issues impact how we invest?[16:13] Why most people should try to do both: invest AND pay off debt[22:50] Should a lump sum be invested all at once or dollar cost average it?

Rank #1: Sam Hinkie – Data, Decisions, and Basketball - [Invest Like the Best, EP.88]. I came across this week's guest thanks to the overlap of three passions of mine: data informed investing, value creation, and basketball. Sam Hinkie worked for more than a decade in the NBA with the Houston Rockets, and then most recently as the President and GM of the Philadelphia 76ers. He helped launch basketball's analytics movement when he joined the Houston Rockets in 2005, and is known for unique trade structuring and a keen focus on acquiring undervalued players. Today, he is also an investor and advisor to a limited number of young companies in which he feels his experience can improve outcomes. At one point in our conversation, Sam mentions that he tracked success via future financial outcomes, so I did some research and found many interesting stats about the 76ers surrounding Sam's tenure. When he took over the franchise, it was 24th in ESPN's franchise rankings, and today it is 4th. This is the result of an impressive crop of young talent—players like All-Star Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons—which resulted in large part from unconventional decisions Sam and his team made. While I'm sure these estimates are imperfect, Forbes estimated the 76ers value at around $418M when Sam took over and $1.2B a few months ago. NBA teams in general have grown in value, so a lot of that appreciation is obviously "beta," but given that the 76ers had the top percentage growth number more recently of any team, some of it is "alpha," too. While we can't parse the exact amount, it seems his unique approach to building a team clearly created some large amount of current franchise equity value. And it looks like the dividends from those decisions will compound for many years to come. While basketball was where Sam plied his talents in the past, his approach is more elemental. It is about finding great people, using data, and structuring decisions that create the possibility of huge returns, be they financial or otherwise.

Rank #2: 069: John Carter – How an aggressive trader thinks, uses options, and made $1.4M on a single Tesla trade. Welcome back for another installment of the Chat With Traders podcast. I've got an awesome guest lined up for you, John Carter, from Austin Texas. In short; John is an options trader (and also futures, to a slightly lesser extent), he's been trading for around about 25 years now. His typical holding time for any given trade is just a couple days, and he classifies himself as an aggressive trader – which I think you'll pick up on pretty quickly. In this interview, you'll hear I ask John about the multiple boom 'n bust cycles he endured over the space of about 8 years before gaining real consistency. I also ask, is a high risk tolerance essential for becoming a successful trader? Then we get into some talk about options, and John has some really great advice for those who are still trying to find their feet. Additionally, we talk about indicators and technical analysis, and we go step-by-step through John's million dollar TSLA trade. So there's a lot packed into this episode, I hope you enjoy it, but more than that, I hope you can take at least just one thing away from this and apply it to your own trading.

Iowa Senate broadens ethics code, but not transparency rules
Thursday, Feb 14 2019
Laura Belin
Iowa state senators have amended their chamber's ethics code following a high-profile complaint against Democratic Senator Nate Boulton, which was dismissed late last year.
The new language cover actions occurring outside the capitol building and allows citizens to file a complaint more than three years after an incident. However, the updated code would still lead to dismissal of a complaint like Sharon Wegner's allegations against Boulton.
Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver and Minority Leader Janet Petersen jointly offered an amendment to the Senate Code of Ethics, which the chamber approved by voice vote on February 13. The three most significant changes are:
A new section (12B) labeled "DISCRIMINATION —— HARASSMENT —— ABUSE" states, "As provided and defined in the personnel guidelines of the Iowa Senate, a senator shall not engage in any act of discrimination, harassment, or abuse of any person." (I've enclosed those personnel guidelines below.)
The section that defined complaints as "timely" if filed within three years of the alleged ethics violation was deleted.
However, the new section covers actions by "a senator"–not events that may have occurred before a person was sworn in to serve in the upper chamber. Wegner alleged that Boulton touched her non-consensually when he was a candidate for the state Senate. Because Boulton had not yet been elected, the Senate Ethics Committee dismissed the complaint for lack of jurisdiction.
The code previously required written complaints against a senator or lobbyist to be submitted "under oath"–that is, notarized. The new language calls for submitting them "under penalty of perjury." In other words, a person could be criminally charged for knowingly making a false statement as part of an ethics complaint, but the document need not be notarized.
The bipartisan spirit ended quickly as the Senate moved to consideration of chamber rules for this legislative session. The revised document stated, "Committee meetings and subcommittee meetings shall be open," a nod to last month's controversy over the refusal by some Republicans to guarantee open subcommittees.
Petersen offered an amendment clarifying that such meetings would be open "to the public," and stating that "Notice of a subcommittee meeting must be announced at least twenty-four hours prior to the scheduled meeting time." Iowa Senate committees have operated under that rule for more than a decade, but this year, some Republican committee chairs refused to amend their panel's rules to require the 24-hour notice.
Petersen's amendment lost on a party-line 31 to 17 vote, after which senators adopted the rules package by voice vote.
Bleeding Heartland welcomes tips on stealth Senate subcommittees scheduled less than 24 hours in advance. I anticipate Republicans will use that tactic sparingly to diminish public input on some of their most harmful legislation.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention a couple of other changes to the ethics code. Senators deleted this sentence from the previous version of the code: "A senator with a conflict of interest may participate in floor debate if prior to debate the senator indicates the conflict of interest." The idea is that if a senator has a conflict that would prevent voting on a measure, that person also should not be speaking during floor debate on the measure.
The last part of the ethics code governs personal financial disclosures, which are required annually. The new version further reduces transparency by deleting a line asking senators to list "Other Income Categories Specified in State or Federal Income Tax Regulations (List description of other sources of income producing over one thousand dollars in annual income not previously reported above, but which must be reported for income tax purposes.)" Most senators listed nothing on that section of last year's forms, but some did:
Ken Rozenboom reported part-time farm labor for a relative.
Mark Lofgren listed real estate sales.
Mark Costello listed USDA farm program payments.
Jerry Behn listed cash rent from farms.
Michael Breitbach listed several forms of interest income, as well as income from being a bank director, annuities, retirement income, and government payments and rental income from a farm.
Appendix 1: Revised Iowa Senate Code of Ethics. Underlined words represent new additions; words struck through were deleted.
Appendix 2: Iowa Senate harassment prevention policy

Q: Using action script 3 with flash builder 4.7 when i try to load image of dimension 16000 X 16000, not able to upload I found below problem in action script 3.
Using action script 3 with flash builder 4.7 when i try to load image of dimension 16000 X 16000 using below code it will CRASH my App and not able to show image.
Image size is 4.6 MB and Image dimension is 16000 X 16000 (Width X Height)
When i try with other image having Dimension 10000 X 3000 (Width X Height) it will work
var mapLoader:Loader=new Loader();
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo=mapLoader.contentLoaderInfo;

loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(event:Event):void
            {

Please help me and thanks in advance

A: Before Flash Player 11, there was a limitation on the size of any loaded image. As of Flash Player 11, this limitation as been removed, and the maximum size is dependent of the operating system.
Considering that Flash internally handle image as bitmaps, your 16000x16000px image requires around 1Gb of RAM by itself. This may be more than what your app is allowed (or even what your system is capable of).
Since you seems to be making an app, I would recommend using a tile system : the full map is cut down in smaller images, that are then placed side-by-side. Using this system, your app can load and show only the required tiles, strongly reducing the memory required, as well as the necessary bandwidth. If you don't want to show blank spaces while the tiles are loading, you can add a lowres image of the full-map under the tiles, so that the user see a blurred version of this section before the app finished loading the corresponding tile and show the highres version.

Home » Digital/Multimedia Storytelling » Why Does This Story Make People Cry?
I saw folks commenting about this video on Facebook yesterday, saying it had made them cry. I could see that the video was about a young boy who created an arcade out of cardboard boxes.
I don't think that's gonna make my tears well up, I said to myself. But they did. Twice.
What is it about the story that makes folks cry? Triumph of the human spirit, both on an individual and on a group level. It's better if I don't go into great detail and instead let you see for yourself how that triumph of the human spirit unfolds.
A story is: a character-based narrative of an interesting character's struggles to reach a real and important goal that is initially blocked by some combination of one or more problems and conflicts that have the potential to create some real risk and danger (jeopardy) for that character, all presented in sufficient detail to make the story seem vivid, compelling, and memorable.
