Q: iOS app crash on launch with EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY I'm getting a crash that only happens when the app is launched but I'm not able to find any useful info from the crash logs since it seems that it doesn't have any reference to my code (Xamarin.Forms).
I`m not able to replicate this issue in debug mode, how can I find the related code?

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association of polymorphisms of TRAF1-C5, a newly identified rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk locus in Caucasians, with susceptibility to RA and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Japanese populations. Gene expression levels of TRAF1 and C5 to assess the functional significance of genotypes were also analysed. Methods: A multicentre association study consisting of 4 RA case-control series (4397 cases and 2857 controls) and 3 SLE case-control series (591 cases and 2199 shared controls) was conducted. Genotyping was performed using TaqMan genotyping assay for two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that showed the best evidence of association in the previous Caucasian studies. Quantifications of TRAF1 and C5 expression were performed with TaqMan expression assay. Results: Significant differences in allele frequency for both SNPs were observed between RA and control subjects (combined odds ratio =1.09), while no significant difference was detected between patients with SLE and controls. Interestingly, alleles rs3761847 A and rs10818488 G had increased the risk for RA in the present study, while they decreased the risk in the original studies. A significant difference was found between risk allele carriers and non-carriers of rs10818488 for the expression level of TRAF1 in phorbol myristate acetatestimulated lymphoblastoid cell lines (p=0.04). Conclusion: Association of TRAF1-C5 locus with RA susceptibility was detected in the Japanese populations with modest magnitude, while no significant association was observed for SLE. Significant positive effect of genotype on the expression of TRAF1 might support the genetic association between TRAF1 and RA.

Well, we're back in a routine from our whirlwind trip to NYC for the BHG Stylemaker event. I'll be sharing more about that soon. While we were gone, the remainder of my Fall tour was on the blog. I stayed pretty unplugged last week other than sharing social media updates on our trip, but I wanted to thank you all so much for all of your nice comments on the tour, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and maybe got an idea or two!
Today it's time for another round of My Five Favorites with Pam from Simple Details, Lisa from Shine Your Light, and Kris from Driven by Decor. This month, in light of the approaching holiday season, we are sharing our favorite tabletop and serving accessories. I want to share those items with you that I go to over and over again as I set pretty tables, so that you might add a little to your collection each season and be well stocked with the staples when you're ready to entertain (or just make a special effort for your family!). I've included some affiliate links to the same or similar products if you're interested in checking out some of the items pictured.
We are thrilled to have Kelley from Kelley Nan as our guest host today. When we confirmed this month's theme, I knew right away that Kelley just had to be our guest host...she decks out a table like no one else (check out her entire section of tablescapes here)! Kelley has such an elegant style, yet puts together tables that are completely attainable with a little bit of gathering and thought put into the process.
Even though it's pictured here with a charger, many times I use these round, woven placemats in place of a charger too.
I have a few basic table cloths that I use, sometimes as a traditional cloth covering the table, and sometimes I fold under the edges and use it as a runner down the middle, so one piece does double duty! Another option that I do often is to use a piece of fabric as a runner. I fold the edges under and secure with a bit of masking tape and it works like a charm!
Wide neck scarves can make perfect runners, too!
I have a few sets of staple dinner size plates that I use over and over again, and several sets of patterned salad plates to mix and match patterns and colors. With just a few different patterns and colors, you can create many different combinations.
Occasionally I use a patterned paper napkin on my tablescapes, but usually I like to use cloth napkins. I vary between folding or using a napkin ring (sometimes it's the perfect finishing touch!) and use my sewing machine to monogram some of my sets. Homegoods and TJ Maxx are great places to get nice quality discounted solid colored napkins.
Almost every table I do includes some type of candlelight. Not only are the holders and candles themselves a chance to add to the aesthetic of the table, but you can't beat the ambience that a few sparkling flames add to the setting.
What are your favorite tabletop items that you use over and over? Be sure to head over to Simple Details, Shine Your Light, Driven by Decor, and Kelley Nan to check out their favorite kinds tabletop accessories, I'm looking forward to checking them out, too!
Jennifer, you SLAY pattern and color and your gorgeous tablescapes showcase that talent beautifully. I am so inspired to go create something new (with leopard... maybe red?) now. Thank you so very much for including me in this special group. I had a blast pulling together my favorites <3 AND, can't wait to hear more about NYC!
You create such fun and lively table settings ~ love your bold bursts of color and your great eye for pattern mixing! Beautifully done, my friend!
I need to add some more candlesticks to my stash.
Your tables are seriously amazing! You know I love my neutrals but I seriously adore all of the color and pattern that you put into yours!!
Jennifer you truly have a talent with tables - you need to start a tablescaping business!! The birdcage remains one of my favorite centerpieces of all time and your mix of patterns and color is always so fun!

Loring returned to the United States in the winter of 1860-1861, and on 22 March 1861 he was named to command the Department of New Mexico. He did not sympathize with the secession, but, believing in states' rights, he resigned his commission on 13 May 1861, and traveled east to offer his service to the Confederacy. President Jefferson Davis, familiar with Loring's distinguished record, had him named brigadier general to rank from 20 May 1861.
After the death of Brigadier General Robert Garnett in the engagement at Corrick's Ford, Loring was named on 20 July to command the northwestern army and charged with the defense of the western approaches to the Shenandoah Valley. Within a week of Loring's arrival on site, he was joined at Huntersville by General Robert E. Lee. Loring had higher rank than Lee in the "old army" and had led troops into battle in Mexico when Lee was a staffer. The two officers did not work well together, and the Confederates, plagued by heavy rains and rugged terrain, botched Lee's ambitious plans to rout the enemy from Cheat Mountain and recover the Tygart Valley (10-17 Sept.).

Coinmama came under our radar due to the fact that the platform is one of the popular exchanges in the cryptocurrency industry. In this article, we investigate the Coinmama's registration process, verification requirements, service availability, as well as deposit and withdrawal methods. We also analyze the fee structure as to provide you with an accurate guide on how profitable trade within the exchange.
At the end of the review, we provide pros and cons that you can use to benchmark against similar platforms. Throughout the analysis, we use benchmark analysis with examples being Coinbase, BitPanda, and CEX.io.
Coinmama is a cryptocurrency exchange that offers bitcoin and Ethereum for its clients with the help of credit cards. The company is based in Bratislava, Slovakia and has been kicking since 2013. Some sources state that headquarters are located in Israel, while the official license states Slovakia as the main base of operations. The company is owned by an organization called NBV International s.r.o.
The accepted fiat currencies are USD and EUR, while others are converted to the core currencies. If compared to Coinbase, the Coinmama's support section offers the very little amount of service for customers. You have short FAQ section and ticket system with no live chat available, as you can see below.
Being one of the oldest players in the market, Coinmama is held high in the eyes of the industry, offering simple yet stable services.
Registration at Coinmama is a simple piece of work, as you have to provide several details about yourself. Apart from your email and password, you have to provide your first & last name and country you live in. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes to complete and ends with email verification. You can check out the registration page below.
Verification, on the other hand, is a different thing. Before you will be allowed to buy bitcoins, you have to complete identity check. Much like Coinbase and CEX.io, you have to provide scanned ID and proof of address before you can proceed.
You do have the ability to check services out without verification process if you purchase $150 worth of BTC. Above that number and you are required to provide proofs of your personal information. We consider this a cool feature, as Coinbase and BitPanda would demand documents before you can test them out.
At Coinmama, you can only use Western Union and credit cards to buy cryptocurrencies. The transaction itself takes less than 10 minutes to be completed. The purchase page is geared towards beginners as a platform offers very simple tools for the trade. There is no margin trading at Coinmama, as the buying page below shows.
It is not possible to sell coins at Coinmama while the only withdrawals that are available are crypto-related. The fee for credit card purchase stands at 5% above the exchange rate you see on the screen. The withdrawals come with usual network fee as well.
When compared to other platforms, Coinmama's costs are slightly higher than Coinbase's 3.99% for credit card payments. Many other companies, CEX.io being an example, offer bank transfers as well, apart from the credit cards.
Apart from the credit card costs, there are no other fees connected with the exchange services. The company operates through sales only and thus the fees, in combination with the exchange rate, our main sources of revenue.
Coinmama employs 5.5% exchange rate on the bitcoin's and Ethereum's price levels form the industry averages. Thus, the difference between the Coinmama and Bitfinex, for example, can reach over $1.000 per one BTC.
To be honest, there are no any security functions and features at all at Coinmama. And that is not an issue as you do not hold any sort of balance on the platform. Transfers are instantaneous since no storage is allowed. This made the exchange quite popular from the very beginning, as you get BTCs and ETHs sent to your wallet as you pay for them.
Companies like Coinbase, Bitfinex, and CEX.io all have to provide several safety tools like 2FA and IP whitelists since they offer wallet services. Coinmama does not and it maintains the image of being a legitimate business.
To our knowledge, there have not been any major security issues or hacking incidents at Coinmama. Neither is it expected, as there is nothing to steal in the first place.
The Coinmama exchange is quite an expensive place to buy bitcoins from, especially when accounting exchange rate. The interface is geared towards starters while experts would find very little to do at this platform.
On the other hand, the company provides security and instant access to the coins at the cost of your privacy. Thus, we would recommend this cryptocurrency business for beginners who just started learning about the bitcoin. Keep the volumes low when buying from Coinmama, as there are other places that offer the cryptos cheaper.


With rich land, abundant water and a favourable climate, hill agriculture in North-eastern region of India has considerable potential to grow and contribute towards improving farm incomes, enhancing food and nutrition security, reducing rural poverty and accelerating the overall economic growth of the region. Unfortunately the growth potential of hill agriculture has remained under-exploited due to lack of system-specific production technologies, poor infrastructure (transport, markets, processing) and underdeveloped institutions (credit, extension, information, insurance), inaccessible habitations, diverse socio-cultural and agricultural typologies and fragmented land holdings. The North-eastern region lying between 21.5o N - 29.5o N latitudes and 85.5o E - 97.3o E longitudes comprises of eight states - Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim. It may be mentioned that in hill area particularly horticultural crop cultivation as an alternative to jhuming may prove to be a boon in the regional economy. In NEH region farming being the main stay of the people, development of horticulture will markedly improve the economy of the people. Establishment of orchards and planting of plantation crops on hill slopes will prevent soil erosion which may solve the problem of shifting cultivation and out migration of people to towns. The north eastern region is bestowed with the most congenial climatic conditions for the production of under-exploited agricultural and horticultural crops. These agricultural and horticultural crops also provide many fold employment opportunities in agro-based industries, packaging, storage, preservation, canning and transportation.

It doesn't matter if it's snowing outside – when Lady Gaga wants to clomp down the street in her underwear and horsey shoes, she's going to do just that. We suppose she means to shock us, but we're beyond that. Let's face it – Madonna hailed a cab stark naked back in the day. Her ensemble is prudish by comparison! Gag Gag is filming an HBO special about her Monsterball tour. So naturally she has to strip down in the freezing cold. Word is she would do a few takes and then run into a deli to warm up and get coffee. What surprises us more than anything is the fact that we spotted her actually smiling! She was genuinely happy to see someone. She should smile more often – she looks so much better when she shows some teeth.

Game of Thrones: The Dog and the Wolf – A Clash of Comfort
By Jokermatt on April 15, 2014 • ( 2 Comments )
Unlike the famous Iron Throne itself, Game of Thrones has consolidated its position as pure comfort storytelling, as the first episode of Season Four showed. *Only televisual story spoilers here up to 4.1, but by the dragon load.
THE MUCH ANTICIPATED FOURTH SERIES OF GAME OF THRONES KICKED OFF LAST WEEK, ITS ARRIVAL SLOWER THAN DANERYS TARGARYEN'S CONSCRIPTION RATE. The series premiere was a typical opener; reintroducing characters in its own time and effortlessly refreshing and advancing the plot in a methodical but luxurious way. The random, yet appropriate appearance of Janos Slynt half way through showed how important that approach is. While in many other show's in any other show, his protestations as former Commander of the King's Landing City Watch may look forced, in Game of Thrones' measured structure it works in the midst of Jon Snow's great Black Watch dissolution and crucially, Aemon Targaryen's withering parting shot.
Underlying Script
It's easy to think that little happens…
On the small screen, Game of Thrones has always used its weaknesses as a great strength. It's easy to look on any one season and think that little happens– see particularly Season Two, when very little happens. Westeros way, plot points that may sustain other series or provide season climaxes are often brushed over. A great example is Ned Stark's reveal of Robert Baratheon's bastard son in the first season. It's a major catalyst for the oncoming war but given little space in the episode and little prominence in the episode's 'acts', especially in comparison to the later Lannister-Stark stand-off. Instead, amid the battles and more usually the hanging suspense of battle and receipt of field reports, Game of Thrones sinks back to the characters and their scripting. A stinging barb or one line reference is often far more powerful within the storyline than any action the audience sees.
A streamlined conflama that constantly pleases the majority
Of course, that's also a rather good get out, especially in a densely populated story where the high body count can't quite compete with constant new arrivals. Any time there may be some trouble in the structure, pace or plot development Thrones falls back on its sketch-based set-up, nipping between geographies and respective characters. And who better in the opening episode to wield the directing rapier so skilfully than the core writing team themselves?
The show's helped by its novel root of course – as well as coming a good few volumes in. That source material is being used well and it needs to be. The necessity to refresh and build is as evident as the disconcerting failure of a recasting like Daario Naharis' in Season Four. But far from little happening, the sketch structure gives the show an underlying level of satisfaction; reassuring in spite of the bloodshed and trauma and also leaving a rather pleasing amount to the imagination. This isn't the reaching cluster of mystery seen in the show's most famous forerunners, The X-Files, Lost or Heroes but a rather streamlined conflama that constantly pleases the majority.
The final section of Season Four's premiere illustrated that almost perfectly.
The Final Hunt
The young wolf adds to her kills…
Although the season kicked off with the symbolic (or better put, vengeful and snide) melting of the House's great sword Ice, there was little Stark to be found in the opener. That sword made a weapon for Jaime Lannister and an as yet unknown, reminding of the hidden dysfunction of the Lannister family nicely. Later, Sansa Stark's grief was far more important for Tyrion's character development than her family travails.
It took the switch to the Riverlands in the final section to add anything to the series' original House. A combination of choice dialogue, suspense, contrivance and a peak of rewarding violence showed Thrones at its best. And all involving two of the story's so far undernourished but pivotal characters.
Some light banter about horses between Sandor Clegane and Arya Stark refreshed the characters' motives and story. Nominally this is money and vengeance – the intention of both to rid one of the other – but as always in Thrones those motivations can be dispensed with immediately.
The chance encounter at the end should also be quickly dismissed. Such things add a little too much balance compared to the many historic struggles that Thrones apes, but this is all about the impact on character. Each of the major players can be boiled down to facets of their sigil. And here the wolf was in the ascendance.
First came a mildy laboured and distasteful build-up of tension – though one that encapsulated the state of the land during Joffrey's reign. And then, after the niggling, downing and an incredible misreading by the King's men, an obligatory fight. While the Dog Clegane was unusually incompetent, the young wolf added to her kills.
Arya's slaying was shot in a woozy, seedy style, relishing the sound and horrible control – reflecting her satisfaction in such a complete act of revenge. There's no doubt who or what she's becoming. And sure enough, the final scene with the familiar score rising about it showed that she'd earned the horse so neatly referenced at the beginning. Also that Stark and Clegane had become that little more similar. An unlikely duo, an uneasy alliance, but a relationship reset and remoulded yet again with few words.
It's immensely satisfying watching that kind of development done well: atavistic, minimally verbal and thematically complete. Thrones never leaves you in any doubt that you are watching the placement of rungs on a ladder just as much as movement of chess pieces on a board.
The inevitable clash of the Cleganes…
Clegane is perhaps, language aside, one of the more Gormenghast characters in the story, and an unknown quantity outside similar walls. But
the closing scene sets up his story as much as Arya's. As the familiar score rose behind, as the young Stark had earned her new steed, the fires of the Riverland set the inevitable clash of the Cleganes as the Dog wandered into the territory of his brother The Mountain (recast… For the third time). As family, or lack of it, becomes more important to Clegane so Arya's maturity is fuelled by blood. These two will soon be inseparable. By the end, the Dog had become that little more wolf and the wolf so much more dog. But with the Riverland alight, in a masterless land, what is a Dog but a Wolf?
Now, time to press play on the Purple wedding…

Yesterday's Oracle CloudWorld in New York City covered everything from managing data with the world's 1st autonomous database and humanizing customer experiences, to connecting and extending on-premises and cloud applications. In his keynote speech at the event, Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, told the audience that by 2020, more than half of all enterprise data will be managed autonomously, and will also be more secure. Hurd also said that 90% of all enterprise applications will feature integrated artificial intelligence capabilities.
In my session at Oracle CloudWorld on "Optimizing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure through Interconnection," I talked about how Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) FastConnect on the Equinix Cloud Exchange™ Fabric allows enterprises to optimize connection to Oracle Cloud, and newer innovations such as Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud, with flexible, on-demand, interconnection—enabling applications, workloads and data to operate on-premises and in the public cloud over high-performance, private and scalable connections.
The public internet was an amazing invention that changed all our lives. We take it for granted now since it is so ubiquitous, but the early engineering of the internet and bringing it to where we know it today was an amazing accomplishment.
However, the innovators of the public internet did not anticipate or design for another transformative technology that is becoming equally ubiquitous and resilient in its expanding adoption ꟷ the public cloud.
It's totally possible to avoid these issues and ensure more predictable outcomes through private cloud interconnection, where the enterprise connects directly and securely to a cloud provider's network or uses a dedicated connection from a network partner. By 2020, more than 30% of organizations will connect to cloud providers using alternatives to the public internet, which is a major increase from 5% in Q3 2017.
From our founding almost 20 years ago, we've helped to create today's world of global interconnection on Platform Equinix™. First focusing on interconnecting networks and ISP providers together, we formed a dynamic networking ecosystem that is more than 1,600 network service providers (NSPs) strong. We now have an equally rich cloud and IT services ecosystem of 2,750+ companies. With this critical mass of network and cloud providers, businesses in industries such as financial services, media and entertainment, online advertising, content development and delivery, SaaS and many others, come to Equinix to access their choice of network and cloud providers via direct and secure interconnection. Today, we have engagements with enterprise customers from various industries to optimize their architectures for interconnection to the network and cloud providers of their choice, maximizing their performance while minimizing their overall networking cost.
Interconnection from every industry segment has been growing significantly the past few years. Last year, the number of private, dedicated connections to the top five cloud providers inside Equinix has grown to more than 10,000 connections, with nearly 40% of those dedicated connections going through NSPs.
And, interconnection to cloud and IT service providers is expected to accelerate. According to the Global Interconnection Index, a market study published recently by Equinix, Interconnection Bandwidth is projected to grow more than fourfold from 2016 to 2020, translating into 5,000 Tbps of installed bandwidth capacity, with double-digit growth across all industries and use cases. The Index report also estimated the capacity for private data exchange between enterprises and cloud providers will grow at a 160% CAGR over the same time period.
At this point, I am going to turn my focus to how we enable direct and secure interconnection to one of our cloud platform partners, Oracle. As a worldwide Platinum level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork, Equinix provides dedicated, private access to Oracle Cloud over virtualized, high-bandwidth, low-latency connections via Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect and the Equinix Cloud Exchange™ (ECX) Fabric and (see diagram below), bypassing public internet entirely.
The OCI FastConnect and ECX Fabric architecture allows you to fully realize all the benefits of a hybrid cloud. You can move application and database workloads into Oracle Cloud— with high throughput and low latency, while dramatically reducing connection costs. Once connected to Oracle Virtual Cloud Network (VCN), you can group your cloud infrastructure within isolated networks by creating subnets and even assign private IPs over a state-of-the-art network. In short, Oracle VCN provides you with a level of networking control often not found in the public cloud today.
In addition, the ECX Fabric enables you to remotely access the Oracle Cloud directly or via a participating NSPs, enabled on the platform, even if those are not available in your local metro's IBX Campus. You can even gain access to many of Oracle other cloud services such as: Oracle Database Backup, Oracle Exadata, Oracle Big Data Cloud and Java as a Service.
Providing more consistent network performance and lower latency than an internet/VPN connection.
Lowering costs because Oracle discounts the OCI FastConnect data transfer costs over those associated with an internet/VPN connection.
Accelerating cloud access via dynamic connections that can be deployed with automated, near real-time provisioning.
Enabling multiple virtual connections can more easily be provided through a single physical link.
This solution can be deployed as part of an Interconnection Oriented Architecture™ (IOA®) strategy on Platform Equinix™. An IOA framework is a proven approach to interconnecting people, locations, clouds and data at the digital edge, where commerce, population centers and digital ecosystems meet. By taking leveraging an IOA strategy on Platform Equinix, your poised to differentiate and scale your business. At Equinix, we are connecting our global platform for digital business physically and virtually around the world, enabling you to reach everywhere, interconnect everyone and integrate everything.
I'd like to share with you some specific benchmark results, to demonstrate how big the impact of OCI FastConnect and the ECX Fabric are when accessing Oracle Cloud. We benchmarked an Oracle data backup and recovery service via OCI FastConnect and the ECX Fabric versus public internet in a typical enterprise test case. OCI FastConnect enabled us to increase network throughput by up to 15 times versus the public internet. And with greater throughput, the backup and restore times were reduced by as much as 90% (see diagram below). That's an incredible performance business impact, when you need to perform data backup and recovery!
We can help you realize benefits like this globally. Last October, we announced OCI FastConnect and Oracle Cloud deployments on Platform Equinix in 18 metros worldwide. By bringing Oracle Cloud, OCI FastConnect and Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric together, you can create a private, secure interconnection that delivers the ultimate, scalable hybrid cloud architecture that supports.

Zimbabwe Typhoid Fever Outbreak 2016: Harare Confirms Six Cases Of Deadly Disease
By Morgan Winsor @MorganWinsor

Zimbabwe's capital and most populous city has been hit with several cases of typhoid fever, speaking fears of a major outbreak. Prosper Chonzi, the Harare City health director, said Wednesday that six cases of the disease had been confirmed in the past five days in various suburbs, according to state-owned newspaper the Herald.
"We have sent our teams to assess the situation in those areas, particularly in Hopley, where there is strong suspicion that people could be sick from their homes. The teams will be interviewing and treating all suspected cases," Chonzi reportedly said.
More than 30 cases of the disease in an area would constitute an outbreak, and city health officials are apparently working to stem further spread. Still, the cases confirmed in Hopley as well as the Glen Norah and Hatfield suburbs were cause for concern due to an area nearby where people sell produce and prepare food in unsanitary conditions. Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food and water or close contact.
"We want all that to stop because it exacerbates the situation. With what is happening there and the confirmed cases we have seen so far, we are sitting on a health time bomb waiting to explode," Chonzi told the Herald.
Symptoms of typhoid include lasting high fevers, weakness, stomach pains, headache and loss of appetite. Those infected may also have constipation or a rash. In rare cases, typhoid can lead to internal bleeding and even death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Several cases of the serious disease have been reported in South Africa in the past week. A 27-year-old Malawian woman died Sunday in Johannesburg after contracting typhoid fever, according to Eyewitness News in South Africa.
At least one of the patients in South Africa had recently traveled to Zimbabwe. A 38-year-old Zimbabwean woman who lives in the South African province of Gauteng came down with typhoid fever last week, not long after she had visited Zimbabwe, according to eNews Channel Africa.
A deadly typhoid outbreak was confirmed in Harare starting in early November 2011. The number of cases surpassed 1,500 within weeks. Zimbabwe's health minister at the time, Henry Madzorera, called for an overhaul of the southern African nation's water and sanitation systems amid the outbreak, according to Al Jazeera.
"The progressive deterioration of public health infrastructure have seen such rare diseases like typhoid becoming more commonly encountered within our population," Madzorera reportedly said in February 2012. "The same poor water and sanitation conditions in Harare prevail in most of our urban areas and other parts of the country."

If you've been wondering how the sub-prime mortgage meltdown could seemingly tank the entire economy, David Leonhardt explains it better than anyone else I've read.
Higher returns almost always come with greater risk. But people — by "people," I'm referring here to Mr. Greenspan, Mr. Bernanke, the top executives of almost every Wall Street firm and a majority of American homeowners — decided that the usual rules didn't apply because home prices nationwide had never fallen before. Based on that idea, [housing] prices rose ever higher — so high, says Robert Barbera of ITG, an investment firm, that they were destined to fall. It was a self-defeating prophecy.
And it largely explains why the mortgage mess has had such ripple effects. The American home seemed like such a sure bet that a huge portion of the global financial system ended up owning a piece of it. Last summer, many policy makers were hoping that the crisis wouldn't spread to traditional banks, like Citibank, because they had sold off the underlying mortgages to investors. But it turned out that many banks had also sold complex insurance policies on the mortgage debt. That left them on the hook when homeowners who had taken out a wishful-thinking mortgage could no longer get out of it by flipping their house for a profit.
Many of these bets were not huge, but were so highly leveraged that any losses became magnified. If that $100 million investment I described above were to lose just $1 million of its value, the investor who put up only $1 million would lose everything. That's why a hedge fund associated with the prestigious Carlyle Group collapsed last week.
And he makes a point that I think is extremely important to understand. Banks and investment firms are now "hoarding cash instead of lending it, until they understand how bad the housing crash will become and how exposed to it they are." The credit crisis affects all of us because it is changing the way the economy operates for individuals, businesses and government. Whether the current economic downturn reverses itself, becomes a recession, or even a full-blown panic, the way we all do business may have fundamentally changed. Hopefully, knowledge will help us adapt to that change.


Criminologists, law enforcement officials, and city planners have long been interested in the relationship between geography and crime. Some of the earliest empirical studies of crime were conducted in the 1830s and 1840s by Andre Michel Guerry and Adolphe Quetelet, who plotted recorded crimes on maps and showed considerable variation in the numbers of crimes across geographic areas. As part of the Chicago ecological school of the 1920s and 1930s, Clifford Shaw and Henry McKay examined rates of delinquency in reference to the concentric zones in urban areas. The development of social area analysis and factor analytic techniques in the 1950s and 1960s renewed interest in the relationship between space and crime. These methods demonstrated a strong relationship between the population characteristics and crime rates in areas. The related fields of environmental criminology and the geography of crime emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, demonstrating the multidisciplinary nature of the subject. These fields seek to explain the spatial distribution of offenses and the spatial distribution of offenders. While many of these developments have focused on an understanding and explanation of spatial variations in interpersonal crime per se, they also have contributed to crime prevention and control efforts.

The season of giving thanks is an exciting time here at the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI). We are celebrating a veritable Octoberfest of achievements and events and it is my privilege to share these with you. The most important fact is that improvements in our healthcare system benefit all Canadians whether entering the system personally as patients or supporting friends and family.
Last month I shared the launch of the annual, award-winning magazine, Hands in Healthcare, which appears each autumn to rave reviews.
In keeping with our mandate of national collaboration, in January 2014, CPSI brought together key health sector partners to form a National Patient Safety Consortium. This September, we were extremely proud to announce the publication of the Never Events for Hospital Care in Canada report. Never events are patient safety incidents that result in serious patient harm or death and that are preventable using organizational checks and balances. Never events are not intended to reflect judgment, blame or provide a guarantee; rather, they represent a call-to-action to prevent their occurrence.
I'd like to give my thanks to all those who dedicate a part of their lives to the patient safety journey.
Where are you in your patient safety journey?

Another poor performance puts Swoopes' future in doubt
Ethan Oblak
Stefan Scrafield
It was too good to be true.
In mid-November, sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes trotted off the field at Boone Pickens Stadium looking as though he had finally cemented himself as the Longhorns' quarterback for the foreseeable future.
Swoopes, who has been inconsistent all season, appeared to find his stride in Stillwater, Oklahoma. He had led Texas to its third consecutive win in the best performance of his career, throwing for more than 300 yards and two scores and avoiding the kind of mistakes that had plagued him in the first two months of the season.
Just a couple weeks later, it seems like Swoopes may have had his final start at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Thanksgiving Day.
The 6-foot-4, 243-pound gunslinger turned the ball over five times against TCU and never gave his offense a chance to get in rhythm.
After the game, the coaching staff didn't exactly give him a vote of confidence as the program's quarterback of the future.
"Well, you always have to recruit, and you have to recruit for every position," head coach Charlie Strong said. "You look at Tyrone, he has some games where it's been up and down for him. Tonight wasn't his night."
As Strong seeks to protect freshman quarterback Jerrod Heard's redshirt, it's hard to imagine a scenario in which Swoopes wouldn't start in Texas' upcoming bowl game. But beyond that, it's looking more and more like the Longhorns' future plans do not include Swoopes.
The staff clearly feels the lack of competition behind Swoopes is detrimental to the team's success, as he has no threat to overtake him on game day or push him in practice.
Shawn Watson, quarterback coach and assistant head coach for offense, agrees with Strong and said his most successful signal callers, including current Minnesota Viking player Teddy Bridgewater, were at their finest with a couple of guys breathing down their necks.
"[Swoopes] has got to have those people," Watson said. "Every great quarterback situation I've been a part of is because we had four guys in that classroom competing hard for the job."
It appears as though Swoopes' inconsistency has finally worn down the staff's trust in him. His ability to throw the deep ball and run in the open field gives reason to believe he could some day be great. But his tendency to make major mistakes — and lots of them — indicates he may never be consistent enough to have success at the college level.
There is a glimmer of hope, however. Heard will be available next season; Zach Gentry, one of the top high school quarterbacks in the nation, will arrive this offseason; and Strong's staff is considering adding a junior college transfer as well.
If all that happens, Texas might have the quarterback competition it desperately needs. But is such a scenario too good to be true?

It's the pool in Strathroy-Caradoc but the touchy subject of wind turbines in Adelaide-Metcalfe has some constituents running for municipal office this year avoiding the topic. Esther Wrightman of the Wind Action Group based out of Kerwood says only six of nine candidates decided to answer a questionnaire put out by the group. Wrightman says she wasn't concerned whether or not the candidates were in favor of wind turbines in Adelaide-Metcalfe but more that they would show transparency and look to represent the community.
Of the candidates that did respond, Wrightman says all supported health and real estate studies prior to wind projects being pushed forward.

Accused 'Mastermind' Behind Massive Twitter Hack Arrested... And It's A Kid
By Morgan Cook Jul 31, 2020
The accused mastermind behind a massive Twitter hack that targeted numerous high-profile celebrities and accounts, is none other than... a kid from Florida...
Graham Ivan Clark was arrested on Friday in Tampa, but it turns out that the feds were already looking into him before he hacked Twitter. Back in April, the Secret Service seized more than $700,000 in Bitcoin money from the 17-year-old!
Due to the ongoing law enforcement investigation, Twitter is waiting to release a more detail report of what happened. But here's what we know so far:
First, the hackers stole Twitter employee credentials, then they stole and sold individual accounts by resetting their passwords. The looting then evolved even more into a Bitcoin scam, netting more than $180,000 worth.
"This attack relied on a significant and concerted attempt to mislead certain employees and exploit human vulnerabilities to gain access to our internal systems," the company later tweeted.
The boy now faces 30 felony charges, according to a news release.

The Works of William Paley, D.D.: A view of the evidences of Christianity
By William Paley
The lawyer's subtilty in running a distinction upon
the word neighbour, in the precept "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself," was no less natural than our Saviour's answer was decisive and satisfactory (Luke x. 29.). The lawyer of the New Testament, it must be observed, was a Jewish divine.
The behaviour of Gallio (Acts xviii. 12—17.), and of Festus (xxv. 18, 19.), have been observed upon already.
The consistency of St. Paul's character throughout the whole of his history (viz. the warmth and activity of his zeal, first against, and then for, Christianity), carries with it very much of the appearance of truth.
There are also some properties, as they may be called, observable in the gospels that is, circumstances separately suiting with the situation, character, and intention of their respective authors.
St. Matthew, who was an inhabitant of Galilee, and did not join Christ's society until some time after Christ had come into Galilee to preach, has given us very little of his history prior to that period. St. John, who had been converted before, and who wrote to supply omissions in the other gospels, relates .some remarkable particulars, which had taken place before Christ left Judæa to go into Galilee*.
St. Matthew (xv. 1.) has recorded the cavil of the Pharisees against the disciples of Jesus for eating " with unclean hands." St. Mark has also (vii. 1.) recorded the same transaction, (taken probably from St. Matthew,) but with this addition: " For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders : and when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not; and many other things there
* Hartley's Observations, vol. ii. p. 103.
be which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables." Now St. Matthew was not only a Jew himself, but it is evident, fromthe whole structure of his gospel, especially from his numerous references to the Old Testament, that he wrote for Jewish readers. The above explanation, therefore, in him, would have been unnatural, as not being wanted by the readers whom he addressed. But in Mark, who, whatever use he might make of Matthew's Gospel, intended his own narrative for a general circulation, and who himself travelled to distant countries in the service of the religion, it was properly added.
CHAPTER IV.
Identity of Christ's character. THE
HE argument expressed by this title I apply principally to the comparison of the three first Gospels with that of St. John. It is known to every reader of scripture, that the passages of Christ's history, preserved by St. John, are, except his passion and resurrection, for the most part, different from those which are delivered by the other evangelists. And I think the ancient account of this difference to be the true one, viz. that St. John wrote after the rest, and to supply what he thought omissions in their narratives, of which the principal were our Saviour's conferences with the Jews of Jerusalem, and his discourses to his apostles at his last supper. But what I observe in the comparison of these several accounts is, that, although actions and discourses are ascribed to Christ by St. John, in general different from what are given to him by the other evangelists, yet, under this diversity, there is a similitude of manner,
which indicates that the actions and discourses proceeded from the same person. I should have laid little stress upon a repetition of actions substantially alike, or of discourses containing many of the same expressions, because that is a species of resemblance, which would either belong to a true history, or might easily be imitated in a false one. Nor do I deny, that a dramatick writer is able to sustain propriety and distinction of character, through a great variety of separate incidents and situations. But the evangelists were not dramatick writers ; nor possessed the talents of dramatick writers ; nor will it, I believe, be suspected, that they studied uniformity of character, or ever thought of any such thing, in the person who was the subject of their histories. Such uniformity, if it exist, is on their part casual ; and if there be, as I contend there is, a perceptible resemblance of manner, in passages, and between discourses, which are in themselves extremely distinct, and are delivered by historians writing without any imitation of, or reference to, one another, it affords a just presumption, that these are, what they profess to be, the actions and the discourses of the same real person; that the evangelists wrote from fact, and not from imagination.
The article in which I find this agreement most strong, is in our Saviour's mode of teaching, and in that particular property of it, which consists in his drawing of his doctrine from the occasion ; or, which is nearly the same thing, raising reflections from the objects and incidents before him, or turning a particular discourse then passing into an opportunity of general instruction.
It will be my business to point out this manner in the three first evangelists; and then to inquire, whether it do not appear also, in several examples of Christ's discourses, preserved by St. John.
The reader will observe in the following quotations, that the Italick letter contains the reflection; the common letter, the incident or occasion from which it springs.
Mat. xii. 47-50. " Then said they unto him, Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered, and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother ? and who are my
brethren? And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren : For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."
Mat. xvi. 5. " And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread; then Jesus said unto them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees. " And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.-How is it that ye do not understand, that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees? Then understood they, how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the DOCTRINE of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Mat. xv. 1, 2, 10, 11. 17-20. " Then came to Jesus Scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. -And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear and understand : Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man, but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth
-Then answered Peter, and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. And Jesus said, Are ye also without understanding? Do ye not understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught ? but those things which proceed out VOL. II.
a man.
of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man: for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies ; these are the things which defile a man ; BUT TO EAT WITH UNWASHEN HANDS DEFILETH NOT A MAN." Our Saviour, on this occasion, expatiates rather more at large than usual, and his discourse also is more divided ; but the concluding sentence brings back the whole train of thought to the incident in the first verse, viz. the objurgatory question of the Pharisees, and renders it evident that the whole sprang from that circumstance.
Mark x. 13, 14, 15. " And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them; but when Jesus saw it
, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God: verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."
Mark i. 16, 17. Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers; and Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Luke xi. 27. * And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked ; but he said, Yea, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep
Luke xiii. 1-3. " There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices; and Jesus answering, said unto them, Suppose ye, that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such

Jharkhand govt arrests another Dalit activist Naresh Bhuiyan
Raghubar Das govt's atrocities against human rights activists continue unchecked in Jharkhand. Dalit activist Naresh Bhuiyan was arrested from his home in Bhandar village, Garwha district, on May 14
Published: 30 May 2019, 3:52 PM
The Modi and the BJP-led Raghubar Das government's atrocities against human rights activists continue unchecked in Jharkhand. Dalit activist Naresh Bhuiyan was arrested from his home in Bhandar village, Garwha district, on May 14, 2019.
The police told Naresh's family members that he was being taken to the local police station for certain enquiries and would be released immediately. But when he did not return the next day, the family members went to the station to inquire. They were not allowed to meet Naresh. He was illegally kept in the station and was not produced in the Court for several days.
Even a copy of FIR has not been made available so far, but information collected from sources indicate that Naresh Ram has been implicated on charges of links with Maoists. "The charges are gross manipulation and far from truth. There are also reports of physical torture by the police," says a statement released by Jharkhand Janadhikar Mahasabha.
Naresh Bhuiyan is an active member of 'Bhartiya Bhuiyan Vikas Parishad' and has been working for the rights of Dalits and Adivasis for several decades. He has been associated with several peoples' movements like Adim Janjati Parishad and Visthapan Virodhi Jan Vikas Manch. Naresh Ram has actively participated in agitations against irregularities in grain distribution to particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTGs), Birsa Housing scam, cases related to human trafficking, issues related to direct appointment of eighth and tenth pass PVTG candidates to mention a few.
It must be mentioned that Naresh is involved in protests against the Mandal Dam that is to be constructed on the North Koel river. Despite protests by people of villages that will be submerged, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of the Dam on January 5, 2019. This project will submerge 46 villages that will lead to displacement and loss of livelihood to thousands of Dalit and PVTG families. Lakhs of trees will be felled, and the project will have huge adverse impact on the environment affecting the locals for all times to come. Having realised the harm caused by the proposed dam, the residents of the affected 46 villages have started agitating.
The illegal arrest of Naresh Bhuiyan on false charges is an attempt to weaken the protests against the construction of Mandal Dam. It is also one more example of the anti-people attitude of Jharkhand's BJP government. More than 6,000 Dalits and Adivasis of the state are languishing as under-trials in jails since years. Many have been booked falsely on charges of Naxalism. The police has been unable to produce any evidence against most of them. It also must be mentioned that in the last five years, the state government has even booked many human rights activists on false charges of sedition, emphasises Jharkhand Janadhikar Mahasabha.

Driving Up Vaccination Rates In Aboriginal Communities
The Victorian Government, in partnership with the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, has launched a new campaign to help further boost vaccination rates among Victoria's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Renowned actor and advocate Uncle Jack Charles will front the campaign, which will run for three weeks across social media, NITV and radio.
The new content forms part of an expansion of the ongoing Community, Unity, Immunity campaign, a community-led initiative developed by the Department of Health in partnership with VACCHO to help encourage vaccinations and provide information on keeping community safe.
The campaign is a collaboration between First Nations owned agency Little Rocket, the Department of Health's Aboriginal health division, VACCHO and Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and leaders.
The Community, Unity, Immunity campaign includes culturally sensitive social media assets, posters, flyers and fact sheets that provide important information about vaccinations and staying COVIDSafe.
While vaccine uptake among Victoria's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is one of the highest compared with other Australian jurisdictions, it remains lower than the broader Victorian population.
Almost 80 per cent of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population in Victoria aged 12 years and over is fully vaccinated, compared to about 90 per cent of the wider population.
To help close the gap, and to remove barriers to getting vaccinated, VACCHO and other Aboriginal health organisations have been offering vaccinations through mobile vaccination vans and culturally sensitive popups across the state.
For more information call the Victorian Aboriginal COVID Infoline on 1800 312 911 or visit coronavirus.vic.gov.au/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-communities-and-covid-19-vaccines.
Christine acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional Owners of this land, pays tribute to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and gives respect to the Elders past, present and emerging.

Alumni Hall Of Fame » Robert Letts Class of 1942
Bob graduated in 1942 from William McFarland High School. Five days after his graduation he enlisted in the U. S. Navy. He was an original crewman of the USS Lexington, CV-16, a fast attack carrier. Bob was the fire control director of a quad 40mm anti-aircraft battery, the primary anti-aircraft weapon of the U. S. Navy during WWII.
The USS Lexington saw extensive combat and was torpedoed in 1943 and hit by a kamikaze in 1944. All told, Tokyo Rose reported the USS Lexington sunk four times during the war. Not only did the Lexington always return to battle but was the first U. S. aircraft carrier to enter Tokyo Bay in late August of 1945. Robert was awarded numerous awards and commendations, including a Presidential Unit Citation (w/ Bronze Star) and 11 battle stars.
After his discharge from the service he was employed by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) as a sales representative. He retired from Nabisco after 22 years of service.
Robert has a long history of community involvement and service. Years ago he coached youth baseball and basketball and was the first male President of the PTA at Lanning School in 1959. He served Meals on Wheels for twenty years. He was an active member of the Lions Club for 25 years and is still a member. He is also a long time member of the American Legion. He has been a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Ewing for over 50 years. He served as an elder, deacon and was on the Session. He was also on the Church Cemetery Board of Directors for 25 years.
In 2002, Ewing Township recognized Bob as a Volunteer of the Year. His extensive community involvement is even more impressive when you consider he lost his eyesight, probably service connected, and has been legally blind since 1971.

Richard Nocton and his team from the Marlborough office hosted a breakfast for fellow professionals on Thursday 17th January 2019 at The Rowdey Cow near Devizes, Wiltshire.
There was a wide ranging discussion on matters that affect the rural economy and contributions were made by individuals from firms of solicitors, accountants, farm consultants and banks.
Naturally the dominant main topic of conversation was the debacle of Westminster and Brexit.
The overall conclusion of the meeting was that the rural economy remains strong with plenty of opportunities for those who plan ahead and take advice.
Richard Nocton can be contacted on 01672 515252 to discuss all rural property matters.
