After traumatic or major world events such as a major terrorist attack, Brexit or the recent US Presidential Election millions of us turn to social media to grieve, to find comfort, to share opinions or to celebrate. It takes self-discipline not to become addicted to the emotional rollercoaster that is social media and it is easy to become so immersed that we cannot help but take on the emotional baggage of others. This is particularly the case for educators who most often are empathetic and drawn to "fixing" others they see emotionally struggle. Because educators already expend so much emotional energy in their classrooms each day, it is important that social media does not become a drain on depleted resources but rather a place of replenishment so far as that is possible. This blog aims to care for the carers by providing practical tips for protecting your emotional wellbeing when using social media.
Of course this poll is limited and provides anecdotal evidence at best with only 43 educators responding. The question itself, limited by a 140 character word count was difficult to formulate as were the responses, which were even more restricted. This poll cannot give us important information such as how often educators are connected and are emotions more or less impacted upon with sporadic vs constant connection on social media. While limited, however, it still serves to present some broad trends.
There is evidence to suggest that feelings can be transmitted via social media, a phenomenon known as Emotional Contagion. What research indicates is that a positive post by friends on social media is more likely to result in you posting a positive message also. This can lead to a cascade effect where one positive message can result in multiple positive messages being posted by friends in other locations. Of course, the opposite is also (though to a lesser degree) true. Where negative messages are transmitted, you are more likely to also post negatively. This is worrying because it means that whereas once people were subject to Emotional Contagion via direct face to face meetings and possibly via print media, in a hyper-connected world, our moods are subject to being influenced by indirect global events. For example, in the wake of the US Presidential election members of my US PLN posted almost universally negative emotions on Twitter. I tried to provide a counter balance by looking for the positive in the situation but inevitably got pulled into arguments and even posted negatively myself. It left me feeling irritated even when I was offline. Logically, why should an Irishman be so interested in the affairs of the US? Yes, speaking logically it is easy to say US presidential elections affect me indirectly as a consequence of policy changes that may affect Ireland economically etc. But I wasn't irritated because of that. I was emotionally engaged because so too were the majority of my PLN. And the tone of my Twitter timeline was also negative.
It is, of course, theoretically possible that were all social media users only to post positive news and opinions then the whole world could be blissed-out on positive emotions. This does somewhat explain the phenomenon of the echo-chamber on social media whereby educators only surround themselves with people with similar views on professional practice. But many would argue that by existing in a social media echo-chamber you are only looking to hear ideas and opinions that reinforce your teaching practice. This, obviously, minimises the value of social media to you and also has little direct impact on your professional practice. Essentially, you have to decide; are you on Twitter to be happy but potentially stagnant professionally or are you there to risk unhappiness but potentially develop as an educator?
In any case, even if you have a PLN that is made up only of educators, you will not be insulated from emotionally challenging global events. If you limit yourself to following educators who have a strict education-posts-only approach to social media, your PLN will be very small indeed. In the poll I conduced and reproduced above only 16% of educators stated that their engagement with social media had no effect on their emotional wellbeing. Maybe they have found that perfect echo-chamber but it is much more likely that they have developed excellent coping skills to ensure that they are immune to emotional contagion. Of the 33% who stated that social media has a positive impact on their emotional wellbeing it seems likely that they have surrounded themselves with positive people on social media and while it risks the echo-chamber effect, they have prioritised their emotional stability and decided that that energy needs to be directed elsewhere. A majority of educators - 51% - found that engaging with social media after major world events has a negative impact on their wellbeing with 4% stating that it had a long-term effect. This is obviously unwelcome so here are some simple tips to make your social media experience better for your wellbeing without limiting your potential for professional development.
Set expectations for your social media use. I personally only follow educators on Twitter and I have a mix of educators and friends on FaceBook, which I engage with sparingly. Twitter is my go-to social media tool so I essentially use social media for professional purposes and that cuts out the vast majority of world events that could unnecessarily influence my emotions.
Set parameters for your social media use. This is, of course, easier said than done but engage social media with purpose. On Twitter, I like to join chats as often as possible but that means opening up your ideas and beliefs to differences of opinion that you may find upsetting. If you do not need that stress you may wish to use Twitter simply to follow people, learn from their posts but not engage back.
Avoid Negative Nellies – Just as in real life avoid following those people who are intentionally provocative or negative. They are most likely personally unhappy but you will not fix them nor should you try. I am not advocating you build an echo-chamber. I am merely saying bypass people who revel in eliciting negative emotional rises.
Avoid Social Justice Warriors – No, not people who care about social justice issues, rather those people who are singularly obsessed with social justice and use social media as a pulpit for their political beliefs and attempt to make you feel guilty for not being as obsessed as they are. They also are most likely unhappy and you should not try to fix them.
Limit your access to social media. Set realistic time goals. I find it useful to pick twitter chats I like and make time for them throughout the week.
If you find yourself checking your accounts compulsively then a simple thing you can do is delete these Apps from your portable devices. It is too easy to be hyper-connected with the touch of a single button. Having to go via browser adds an extra step that may help cut back on how often you connect.
Do not check your social media accounts before bed. Receiving a negative response or a challenging opinion before bed is a guarantee of a restless night. While you are at it, ban all portable devices from the bedroom to remove the temptation.
You do not need to have the last word. When you feel attacked on social media not only may you feel threatened but also exposed – it is not nice to have others looking on as you "defend" yourself. Remember, it is not a defeat to let someone else have the last word even if you vehemently disagree. In cases of conflict, just think: does this comment impugn my character or my professionalism, making it worth the emotional strain of "fighting back"? The chances are that it is evident to everyone that this person is simply sparring for a fight. Deny it to them.
When you get a particularly negative comment or when you are about to post something that makes you feel emotional, get up, make a cup of coffee or go for a walk, then engage. It may not be worth the effort when you sit back down.
Are you being intellectually and emotionally honest?
If you post on sensitive global events be prepared for responses that you may not agree with.
Your comments will be accessible to anyone anytime. Be sure they represent you fairly.
These are just a few of the simple ways that you can preserve your emotional wellbeing on social media.

Sir Elton, Hillary & the 'Misogynists' – the despair of Bulverism
Quaerentia>

It's an emotive word. After all, who would ever be happy to be called a misogynist? And so at one level, it is a clever, albeit rather desperate, strategy. Because this week, Elton John did a big fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in Manhattan (apparently bagging her as much as $2.5 million in the process!!). Having said that there was no one more qualified to lead America, he went on to say:
I never cease to be amazed at the misogynistic attitude of some people in this country. And I say to hell with them.
The reason I'm here tonight is to play music, but more importantly as someone who comes from abroad, and is in America quite a lot of the time (and) is extremely interested in the political process because it effects the whole world.
Many would agree with that last point – the world is waiting with bated breath for the result of November's presidential – it can't come soon enough. But misogyny? It's an easy slur and hard to refute. But it is in fact futile and ultimately an insult of despair. For while misogynists abound in all walks of life, is it really the case that it is the main reason many people won't vote for Hillary? Could it possibly have something to do with her policies, or her track record, or even her agendas (whatever they might be)? You see, this goes far beyond the American election. It illustrates an aspect of what is going on all around us.
The Hermeneutic of Suspicion
And that is what some rather pompously term the hermeneutic of suspicion – but while the description sounds rather esoteric, the phenomenon is far from it. It is happening all the time and all around us., from street level to academia. Hermeneutics is the business of interpretation (whether of texts, statements or reality) – but it is a contemporary obsession to be suspicious of every such statement. As such, it implies the absence (or perhaps merely the unattainability) of truth because it suggests the impossibility or irrelevance of a convincing argument. Instead, every claim to truth is merely a claim to power. The flip side of this is the assumption that any rejection of someone else's view is motivated by some deep-seated prejudice or even 'hatred'. Hence the hermeneutic of suspicion.
The Flaws and Dangers
This is all very serious – but the flaws in this approach abound and it is vital to expose them. To fail to do so is to have .
For one thing, it is pretty arrogant because it subtly lays claim to an almost divine insight into others' minds and hearts – as if Sir Elton had a unique mass telepathic ability.
Furthermore, it tries to have its cake and eat it – you defend the people you support by attacking opponents as misogynists; and accuse them of just seeking after power. But at the same time, make claims of competence, integrity and sound policies as if their own motivations were whiter than snow. Hence Hillary is the best person to lead the country…
And most scarily, the knock-on effect of all this is a total disintegration of tolerance (see previous post). What people say has become irrelevant – and free speech no longer needs protection. Rather, we need protection from the spouters of such speech; we need protection from the 'hateful' and the prejudiced. We no longer need to tolerate these people – in fact, we should not tolerate these people – not because of their intolerable views but because of their intolerable prejudices. Lock 'em up – they are a danger to society!
But this is, of course, ultimately self-defeating. Think of where this ends up. For the US Election:
Anyone who fails to vote for Barack Obama is racist.
Anyone who fails to vote for John McCain is ageist.
For the up and coming London Mayoral elections next month:
Anyone who fails to vote for Ken Livingstone is a snob
Anyone who fails to vote for Boris Johnson is an inverted snob
Anyone who fails to vote for Brian Paddick is homophobic
And so it goes on. It gets younowhere. Surely we should avoid such language altogether – and start considering the usual – and important – things like ability, policies, integrity etc.
The problem is that this trend invades all walks of life – including the church. When you are told that you hold or reject a particular theological position because of your Myers-Briggs score… or education… or upbringing… surely this is pretty much the same thing? Isn't it? It is an easy and convenient put-down – and buys you some time perhaps. But in the end it merely buries you deeper into the pit of nebulous truth claims and counter claims.
C S Lewis & Bulverism
C S Lewis spotted this years ago – and he even gave it a name: Bulverism. This is what he wrote in an essay by that name, published in his essay collection, God in the Dock.
You must show that a man is wrong before you start explaining why he is wrong. The modern method is to assume without discussion that he is wrong and then distract his attention from this (the only real issue) by busily explaining how he became so silly.
In the course of the last fifteen years I have found this vice so common that I have had to invent a name for it. I call it "Bulverism". Some day I am going to write the biography of its imaginary inventor, Ezekiel Bulver, whose destiny was determined at the age of five when he heard his mother say to his father — who had been maintaining that two sides of a triangle were together greater than a third — "Oh you say that because you are a man." "At that moment", E. Bulver assures us, "there flashed across my opening mind the great truth that refutation is no necessary part of argument. Assume that your opponent is wrong, and the world will be at your feet. Attempt to prove that he is wrong or (worse still) try to find out whether he is wrong or right, and the national dynamism of our age will thrust you to the wall." That is how Bulver became one of the makers of the Twentieth Century.
I find the fruits of his discovery almost everywhere. Thus I see my religion dismissed on the grounds that "the comfortable parson had every reason for assuring the nineteenth century worker that poverty would be rewarded in another world." Well, no doubt he had. On the assumption that Christianity is an error, I can see clearly enough that some people would still have a motive for inculcating it. I see it so easily that I can, of course, play the game the other way round, by saying that "the modern man has every reason for trying to convince himself that there are no eternal sanctions behind the morality he is rejecting." For Bulverism is a truly democratic game in the sense that all can play it all day long, and that it give no unfair advantage to the small and offensive minority who reason. But of course it gets us not one inch nearer to deciding whether, as a matter of fact, the Christian religion is true or false. That question remains to be discussed on quite different grounds – a matter of philosophical and historical argument. However it were decided, the improper motives of some people, both for believing it and for disbelieving it, would remain just as they are.
I see Bulverism at work in every political argument. The capitalists must be bad economists because we know why they want capitalism, and equally Communists must be bad economists because we know why they want Communism. Thus, the Bulverists on both sides. In reality, of course, either the doctrines of the capitalists are false, or the doctrines of the Communists, or both; but you can only find out the rights and wrongs by reasoning – never by being rude about your opponent's psychology
Until Bulverism is crushed, reason can play no effective part in human affairs.
Lewis at his brilliant best. Let's banish Bulver forever. His approach has no place in a truly tolerant and sane society!

Interesting stuff. It is interesting that Hillary, who has made attempts at doing the work of decreasing the poverty divide, as opposed to talking about merely doing it, is so singled out and reviled. I would say her husband, Bill, was much more revolting, but we managed to vote for him. If Hillary was a man, would it be easier to vote for her? I think Elton may be on to something here. It is far easier to be sexist than racist in this country.

'Rumour', denial of wakf withdrawal of claim
Some news channels reported that the board had submitted the letter through advocate Sriram Panchu
By Piyush Srivastava in Lucknow
Published 17.10.19, 5:27 AM
Updated 17.10.19, 5:45 AM
"Now we should wait for the SC verdict, which would be pronounced within 23 days from today (Wednesday)." said Varun Sinha (Shutterstock)
Swift denials followed the claim that the UP Sunni Central Wakf Board had withdrawn the claim on the Ayodhya land but an element of intrigue hung in the air with chairman Zufar Ahmad Farooqui remaining incommunicado.
The counsel for the Sunni Central Waqf Board and two plaintiffs have said a "false rumour" was being spread that it had handed an affidavit to an advocate to withdraw its claim on 2.77 acres of disputed land in Ayodhya "in the interest of Hindu-Muslim unity".
Some news channels reported that the board had submitted the letter through advocate Sriram Panchu.
The advocate was picked by the Supreme Court as a member of a mediation panel to bring all sides in Ram the Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case to the negotiation table. However, the three main claimants — the Sunni Central Waqf Nard, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lala Virajman — had said they would accept the verdict of the Supreme Court.
Syed Mohammad Shoeb, the chief executive officer of the Sunni Central Waqf Board, told The Telegraph that no such letter has been handed to anybody on behalf of the board.
"We have not submitted any such letter to anybody. We are unable to contact Zufar Sahab (the board chairman). We have come to know that he is in Delhi. There was a possibility that he wrote such a letter. But let me tell you that if so, it can be done by him only in individual capacity," said Shoeb.
Farooqui, considered close to the ruling dispensation, had said in the Supreme Court on Monday that his life was under threat and the court had asked the Uttar Pradesh government to provide him security.
On Wednesday, asked about Farooqui, board counsel Zafaryab Jilani said: "I don't really know whether he is in Lucknow or Delhi. But the board has not written any letter to withdraw the claim on the Ayodhya land. No such thing was discussed in the court, where the hearing concluded in a cordial atmosphere."
"As the concluding day of hearing started in the Supreme Court on Wednesday, some news channels flashed a source-based news that the Sunni Central Waqf Board wishes to withdraw its claim over the disputed Ayodhya land. It is a huge conspiracy of some people to demoralise us. But we fought this case on the basis of fact and evidence and hope to win it," Haji Mahboob, a plaintiff, told reporters in Ayodhya on Wednesday.
"Wednesday was the last day of hearing and the fake news which was spread by some unidentified people on WhatsApp from Ayodhya to Delhi was clearly a design to create sensation in the country," added Mahboob.
Asked in Delhi about the said "letter of the board" which was making headlines in the news channels, Varun Sinha, the Hindu Mahasabha's advocate in the case, said" "I am not in a position to comment on this because the court has not shared any such document with us. Now we should wait for the SC verdict, which would be pronounced within 23 days from today (Wednesday)."
Iqbal Ansari, another plaintiff, said: "We are used to such hate campaigns by a section of people. But the way they spread a false rumour on the concluding day of the hearing of the case in the Supreme Court sends a clear message across that they are not prepared to face defeat."
Although nobody could confirm the origin of the rumour, a Hindi WhatsApp message circulated in Ayodhya in the morning read: "Sunni Central Waqf Board has accepted our appeal. They have withdrawn their claim over 2.77 acres of disputed land to send a message across about Hindu-Muslim unity and brotherhood."

We had the registration all set up to send out an email. As we added, and tested, each plugin, we would test the registration process. We backed up after every change we made. After the last change, where we were trying to change profile fields, we noticed the emails no longer were being received after registration. We went back to the prior backup. Same results. We went back to the backup before that. Same results. We are contacting WP, BP, WPMU DEV and our hosting site in the hopes that someone can answer us. Why aren't the emails working, even after going to an earlier backup when we knew it was working? Please help! We are at a complete loss!
As you had been very careful while taking a backup after every change and testing it. It's a nice approach.
Now, as it stopped working after the last change, either something might have gone wrong in the database, or it might an issue with the email dns ?
Did your host respond ?
We not only backed up each time but we backed up the corresponding database separately so when we "reloaded" a previous version, we also reloaded its db.
The host responded and said that it tested fine at their end. Emails are getting through from everywhere EXCEPT our site. They are saying it is a coding issue and if we can prove otherwise, then they will check further. I have yet to hear from WP and BP however.
We are looking at the code and forums and everywhere we can but are not finding the solution.
I had been searching for solutions for you to see if I get any luck.
Does that help in any ways ?
Which host are you using ?
We are looking into the link you sent and the links therein to see if any of them help. Thank you.
The host is Godaddy. I just sent them another message asking them if they have PHP Mail on... if not then we won't get an WP emails...even though it was working before.
BP just tells us to deactivate every plugin except theirs, and then try it... then add each plugin back in and keep testing. We are about to start that process now. Can't hurt.
WP hasn't answered yet. No surprise as most of the stuff I found on this issue in WP is not answered by WP but rather by other "members" who are all having the same or similar issues... and there's records of this issue dating back 7 years! You'd think they'd have a fix or advice for this by now.
As you know, the registration emails going out from our site were working but then weren't working. See previous email. Since then, we went into something we never before went into: Membership, Communications and created a test Welcome message. We registered as a new user and wouldn't you know we received the registration activation email as that new user, the test Welcome message for the new user and the admin new user notification email. Then we deactivated the test Welcome message and went through the process again. It worked! We received two emails now (just like before the mysterious site-rendered email disappearance); the registration activation email as that new user and the admin new user notification email. We then completely deleted the test Welcome message so that the Membership, Communications was the same as before we started and again, we received the same two emails. Whatever did we reactivate?
So, for whatever reason, the emails seem to be working again. However, this is a huge concern to us. This could happen again and we would have no idea why the emails stopped working and why it suddenly reset itself. We have repeatedly read in our research of this matter that Wordpress uses PHPMail Sendmail. It has been mentioned more than once that making the emails go SMTP is better and more stable. We are of the belief that this may be the core issue here. Can anyone give input on this and guide us in the right direction? Is there anyone out there that can explain to us what may have happened and is there something we need to hard code so that it doesn't happen again?
Sorry to hear that you were/are having these issues.
You may of course at your option wait until this issue arises again or take a pre-emptive strike at this issue and install the Configure SMTP plugin which should take care of the issue now and well into the future.

"Speech less – Act more" aimed to give young people between 18 and 25 years old an opportunity to meet each other across borders in Lommel, Belgium, to discuss personal, cultural and international issues related to human rights, more in particular the freedom of speech. Participants visited the German war grave cemetery for 1 constructive week of workshops and activities. Participants demonstrated how friendship can bring different cultures together and help not only the young generation but also the European community to face the conflicts of the past and work for peace in future.
The objectives of this project were first of all to involve youngsters with fewer opportunities, because we experienced the importance of bringing youngsters with different social, economic and cultural background together. First to give everybody the chance to participate in an interesting and fun week with peers. Second to teach everybody, by working, cooking, doing the dishes together, that everybody is equal, but also has his/her own personality. Third to show the local community of Lommel (and Limburg – by media -papers) that these teens (who often are misunderstood, underestimated,…) don't deserve a negative image. Fourthly we discussed, worked around the freedom of speech because of the current affairs today: concerning world politics (Trump, Erdogan, Brexit,…), migration due to wars (refugees), but also to link it to the past (the cemetery). And this to raise awareness regarding their own opinion, responsibility and personality. Fifth we connected the previous themes to glass art and poetry/the spoken word. As a sounding board, but also as a mirror for their feelings and opinions.
During the exchange, we discovered the history of the war grave cemetery and her dead, spoke to a WOII survivor and refugee, discussed with Amnesty International and visited the European parliament in Brussels.

After thorough review of all the liver safety data, Janssen came to the conclusion that the risk of taking this drug outweighed the benefit to the participants in the ALZ2003 trial.
This is extremely disappointing and frustrating for me! I have so little time left in my life where I can function normally.

In 1901, Alois Alzheimer observed a patient at the Frankfurt Asylum the patient was 51-year-old and had loss of short-term memory and this became his obsession over the coming years. the Frankfurt asylum was too expensive and the woman's husband Mr Deter requests to have his wife moved to a less expensive facility, but Alzheimer intervened in these requests.
Ms. Deter remained at the Frankfurt asylum, where Alois Alzheimer had made a deal with Mr Deter to receive her records and brain upon her death.
April 1906, Frau Deter died, and Alois Alzheimer had her medical records and brain brought to Munich where he was working in Kraepelin's laboratory. With two Italian physicians, he used the staining techniques of Bielschowsky to identify amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles These brain anomalies would become identifiers of what later became known as Alzheimer's disease.

CMBS Scrambles to Comply with New Regulatory Regime
The blizzard of new regulations on commercial mortgage programs took center stage at this week's CRE Finance Council annual conference.
Paul Fiorilla
Paul Fiorilla, Yardi Matrix
New York—The blizzard of new regulations on commercial mortgage programs that are in the process of taking effect took center stage at this week's CRE Finance Council annual conference in New York. However, sentiment about which of the new rules may wind up having the biggest impact on the sector appears to be shifting.
For most of the last six months, the top concern of the CMBS market was the "risk-retention" rule mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act that was approved by a host of regulators, including the Federal Reserve and Securities and Exchange Commission. But now some of the concerns about risk-retention are taking a back seat to some of the other regulations dealing with trading and the process of building pools in terms of the impact on pricing and liquidity in the market.
CMBS has struggled so far this year, with issuance down 40 percent through early June, to $30.6 billion in 2016 from $51.9 billion in the same period a year ago. Although the reasons for reduced volume are varied and not entirely the result of the regulatory hurdles, the uncertainty created by the rush to understand and comply with a host of new rules has many in the industry frustrated.
"Once all of the regulations are in place a few years down the road I think we will see that they obstruct the movement of capital, increase volatility, decrease diversification, greatly increase the costs of even plain vanilla financial services products such as cash management and the like," said Christina Zausner, CREFC's vice president of industry and policy analysis.
Learning to Live With Risk Retention?
Risk retention requires issuers of securitized products including CMBS to retain a 5 percent strip of the bonds that were issued. The rule could be met by retaining a "horizontal" strip, which encompasses the 5 percent of lowest-rated bonds; a "vertical" strip, which would encompass holding 5 percent of each tranche; or some combination thereof.
CMBS issuers have the option of selling the bottom 5 percent of pools to a qualified "B-piece" buyer, which is largely in keeping with industry custom. Earlier this year there were concerns that it would be difficult to find capital to buy B-pieces because the rules prohibit the owner of the risk-retention strip from selling. There were also concerns that banks would not be willing to hold bonds as part of a vertical strategy.
Christina Zausner, Vice President of Industry and Policy Analysis, CREFC
Now it appears, though, that there will be sufficient B-piece capital to buy the junior bonds, and banks are working with regulators to develop strategies that would enable the 5 percent junior strip to be sliced into different classes and comply with the rules. Plus, most CMBS issuers are developing strategies that would enable them to continue participating in the market via vertical or horizontal structures.
One wrinkle of rule is that loans that meet a prescribed quality standard–based on metrics such as term, interest-only provisions and leverage–would be exempt from risk-retention. However, industry players believe the standard is well too high and treats CMBS unfairly in relation to other product types. The quality standard would exempt only about 4-5 percent of CMBS loans originated to date while exempting about 90 percent of residential loans, said Martin Schuh, CREFC's vice president of legislative and regulatory strategy. Yet, CMBS historically has suffered far fewer defaults than residential loans.
CREFC and other trade groups including the Mortgage Bankers Association and Real Estate Roundtable are lobbying Congress to have the rules changed. Congressman French Hill (R-Ark) has proposed a bill that would address many of the industry's concerns, such as flexibility for B-piece buyers and broadening the definition of a qualifying commercial mortgage for risk-retention purposes, but that bill is unlikely to be heard an election year.
Risk-Based Capital Cuts Trading Books
CMBS players have become less optimistic about dealing with the impact of risk-based capital rules that drive what is known as the "fundamental rule of the trading book" that will be implemented through the Bank for International Settlements. The guidelines essentially require banks to follow a standardized formula that would increase the amount of capital that must be set aside for the bonds they hold in their trading books by roughly 20-40 percent.
The rules are an attempt to cut down on the trading that created huge losses in the banking system during the last financial crisis. But the rules also serve to make it more expensive to hold bonds and reduce the willingness of dealers to make markets, which cuts down on liquidity and reduces the value of the bonds.
U.S. CMBS Issuance ($ in Millions) Source: Commercial Mortgage Alert
The way CMBS has historically operated, trading desks at the banks that issued bonds were willing to buy bonds from investors that wanted to sell for any given reason. Investors no longer feel confident that they can find a suitable bid when they want to trade bonds, which makes them less likely to buy. Some market players say that demand for triple-A CMBS, which typically constitutes 75-80 percent of each issue, has dropped significantly in recent months. Instead, traditional triple-A CMBS buyers such as life companies would prefer to originate whole loans, which are even less liquid, but carry higher returns.
While the risk-based capital rules do not go into effect until 2019, most banks have already started to comply with the provisions. The rules open up the market to boutique investment banks, who might be willing to take over a market-making role from the large investment banks that dominated the activity in the past.
Regulation AB II Impact Smaller CMBS Shops
Another regulation that is creating changes in the way CMBS operates is Regulation AB II, published by the SEC, which implements an array of new rules that include more loan-level disclosure, stricter representations and warranties and requires independent asset reviews for deals in which delinquencies rise to a certain level.
Maybe the section of AB II with the biggest impact on CMBS is the one that requires the CEO of the entity depositing loans into the trust to certify that information in the prospectuses is true and the collateral will perform about as expected. Why is this an issue? Well, CMBS conduit pools have historically incorporated loans from multiple originators. Several banks will each contribute a few hundred million dollars of loans to produce a pool of $1 billion or more. Larger transactions are more attractive to investors because they tend to be more liquid and the collateral is more diversified.
But while CEOs may be willing to certify the quality of loans their own banks contribute, some are balking at certifying loans originated by a third party, and thus opening themselves up to potential lawsuits for loans in which they had no control over the origination process. This could prove to be a particular problem for specialty lending firms that have contributed loans to CMBS. Large money-center banks might have faith in the processes enacted by peer institutions, but be less willing to take a risk for lending firms that do not have the same pedigree.
High Costs, More Compliance
It's hard to say at this point how the CMBS market will shake out, because regulations are still being adjusted, Congress could pass new laws and securitization programs might come up with new strategies and processes. But it's fairly certain that the cost of lending is going up as a result of the regulatory onslaught, which makes CMBS less competitive in relation to other lenders and is likely to increase prices across the board. It's also fairly certain that the processes by which the market operates in areas such as trading and the accumulation of collateral will evolve as a result of the new regulatory regime, and the changes will be felt for years to come.

"Missiles in the air. Projected casualties: 41 million. The Russians are working on getting us the abort codes, but we have to get into the launch facility to enter them. And they're expecting us."
— Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered level description
"All In" is the eighteenth campaign mission of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. It chronicles a joint operation between the SAS and the U.S. Marine Corps in which they must fight their way to the ICBM silo that Zakhaev had just launched nuclear missiles from, in order to abort them.
John "Soap" MacTavish (playable)
Sniper Team Two
Two-Six Team
Two nuclear ICBMs have just been launched by the Ultranationalists and it has been confirmed that they are heading straight for the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, where they will claim the lives of 41,096,749 Americans if they reach their targets. Back at base, Command is working with the Russian Loyalists to get the missile abort codes while both the SAS and U.S.M.C. ground teams attempt to enter the launch site where they can enter the abort codes.
The two teams get to the launching facility, but unfortunately, there are numerous guards blocking their path, and three BMP-2 light tanks. They go through two launch sites where John "Soap" MacTavish and Griggs destroy the armor while the rest of the team take out the men. After much fighting the soldiers finally get to the vents, cut them open, and begin to rappel down to the ICBM facility to disable the missiles mid-air. That triggers the start of the next mission, "No Fighting In The War Room".
The mission starts in a short road that leads to the Russian ICBM base. A BMP-2 light tank is protecting the entrance. It is possible to enter the base either from the front gate or by traveling to the left (from outside the gate) and breach the wall with a C4 charge. At the same spot, there are RPG-7s available for use against the BMP-2.
After the battle at the base entrance, the player has the option of choosing one of the two possible paths: Left or right. Both paths lead to a gate that blocks access to the ICBM launch grounds and are heavily guarded by enemy infantry. The launch grounds are guarded by more infantry and two more BMP-2s.
The right branch is what Captain Price, Gaz, and Griggs choose. The player can find various weapons in the buildings or behind the buildings to right of the path. The left branch, however, is only covered by Sniper Team Two and a handful of SAS gunmen. As a downed helicopter has blocked the left gate, NPC constantly try to dissuade the player from taking this branch. The resistance at this branch is also heavier but the player taking this path is awarded with a Javelin to use against enemy tanks. (On some platforms, the Javelin fires in direct attack mode instead of top attack mode.)
It is still possible to win the Javelin even if the player chooses to take the right branch: After the gate to the launch ground is breached, the resistance outside the launch ground disappears. It is possible for the player to travel to the left gate and grab the Javelin.

The satellite tracks the mission to be in the middle of the Caucasus Mountains, when in reality the Altay Mountains are further east somewhere close to China.
After the player's team has sawed off the vents grates, the player can stay up and look around. Two Hinds will come into the map and will fire upon the player until dead or rappelled if exposed for too long.
Sniper Team Two only shoots targets directly in front and in close proximity (approximately 2m) of the player. They do not engage targets if the player is always engaging enemies from a distance. They always score headshots.
SAS troops that appeared in Ultimatum use the MP5SD, but in this level, they have M4A1s.
There is a crashed Mi-24 Hind near the launch facility.
The Mi-24 Hind at the beginning of the level cannot kill the player.
Using the M203, it is possible to shoot it down before the SAS member does it.
When the player uses the "give all" command, he will be given an M21 with Woodland Camouflage which is the one used by Sniper Team Two and another one with Alternate Desert Camouflage, which is the one the player obtains if they also type in "give all" in The Bog.
In the previous level the SAS team consisted of Soap, Price, Gaz plus two randomly generated operatives (one of whom only joins the team when they split up from Price and Griggs). However in this level there are several other SAS operatives who appear without any explanation. In addition, every generic SAS operative in this level is invincible.

The Carbis kitchen island forms a practical, useful and attractive centre piece to any kitchen. Blends with either the more traditional home or the modern kitchen/family room. It has a large top surface area, perfect for preparing everything from the packed lunches to those perfect puddings. It's double sided with an extending bar section which creates a perfect breakfast bar area. With the 2 large drawers and cupboard area, it's really a jack of all trades. The shelf extends 40cm past the face of the unit .

I am familiar with said game, FA. And thank you.
That was awesome. Got a little teary.
Coming from my other brother, that means the world to me.

Q: Can you force activerecord associations to update without saving them? I have a couple models which are associated with the has_many belongs_to pair.  For the sake of demonstration, a client has one server but a server has many clients.  I might do something like this:
client1.server = the_server
client2.server = the_server
client3.server = the_server

My actual application is quite a bit more complex than this, but the example will work for illustration.
I want to inspect the associations between these objects before I save them.  ActiveRecord doesn't update their information until they are saved though.  In the example above, the_server has no idea who client1, client2, or client3 are until one of them gets saved.  I'm sure that this helps active_record's efficiency, but it leaves model instances in memory in an inconsistent state.
Is there anything I can call on the clients or on the server that will cause them to update their states?

A: Call #reload on the objects to update them.

A: If you start off like this:
client1 = the_server.clients.build(:name => 'a client', ...)

Then you should get what you're looking for I think.
EDIT:
Oops, I re-read your post and realized that the_server hasn't been saved yet either.  In that case perhaps:
client1.server = the_server
the_server.clients << client1

(be aware that this will save client1 if the_server is already saved)
or:
the_server.clients.build(:name => 'some client', ..., :server => the_server)

A bit redundant so perhaps there's a better way out there.

A: If you use the reverse way of creating the association, then you are able to look at the models prior to them being saved:
the_server.clients << client1
the_server.clients << client2
the_server.clients << client3

Note, however, that you can only call client1.server immediately after if the_server already exists.

For me, inspiration comes from so many sources. I'm especially in constant awe of exhibitions of art and design that surround me everyday. A concert poster, some chalk on the sidewalk, a really great conversation with a friend about music culture… I enjoy taking it all in and sharing it back, especially in the space of Communication Design. Another influential aspect of my everyday experience is food. No, this project will not contain the ramblings of a restaurant-obsessed eater, but alternately a celebration of how this fundamental substance helps fuel my growth and creative thinking. I find often that I turn to food analogies when telling stories or sharing a design process. It's a topic of common ground that is relatable.
Innovation in technology is another big one. New tech allows us to create and share like we never have in years past, and it's changing how we interact with one another, every day! It's offering opportunities for individuals with disabilities to live more enriched lives… It's connecting friends and family… For every successful concept or product we see in the technology space, there has been someone, somewhere who dared to take the time to investigate a problem that needed solving, and considered the needs and wants of those impacted.
All of the time, these interests combine from one day to the next. And I'd like to create a series that celebrates them. For example, sharing photos with family from a social media feed while eating dinner… Triple win. Why not cover content that embraces all of these areas? I think it will be interesting to see what developes, and hope to learn a little more about my peers and my environments in the process.
