Cooney's Column: Lost In The Eagles Success, Check Out What The Sixers Are Doing
By Bob Cooney and pegan January 10th
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JANUARY 02: Fans react as Tyrese Maxey #0 of the Philadelphia 76ers enters the game against the New Orleans Pelicans at Wells Fargo Center on January 02, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

By Bob Cooney:
Hey, check it out. No, I really mean it. Check it out.
The 76ers are winners of 12 of their last 15 games, during which time they've taken care of the home court – where 10 of those games were played; they've won without star players in Joel Embiid, bothered by a strained foot, and Tyrese Maxey who recently returned to the lineup after the healing of a foot fracture. They've done it while coach Doc Rivers is still trying to figure out rotations and dealing with a starter in P.J. Tucker who has lost almost all ability to score.
And yet here they are, probably one of the most complete teams in all of the league – and I don't say that lightly. Let's take a closer look.
During this 15-game stretch, Embiid has garnered player of the month honors for December and posted dominating scoring games of 53, 48, 44, 42 and 37, just to name a few. The team has averaged 119 points in the stretch and it all surrounds the playmaking of James Harden, who has been everything you probably could want out of a point guard as far as getting this offensively-talented group fully involved. Tobias Harris is having one of his finest offensive seasons, shooting better than 49 percent from the floor and 38 percent from three. De'Anthony Melton's and Shake Milton's offense has benefitted greatly from the style of this team and Georges Niang has had more open three-pointers this season than ever in his career, and has hit them at a 42% clip.
Oh yeah, and Harden seems to have found a little sliver of the fountain of youth, averaging 22 points and a league-leading 11 assists while playing 38 minutes a game.
A 24-15 record at this point might not bring people fully back to the Sixers just yet, after being distracted by the World Series run of the Phillies and a phenomenal season by the Eagles. But there could be something really good brewing with the Sixers.
Fanatic All-Star Day Schedule Release
It is BACK!!!
Fanatic All-Star Day 2023 comes your way Wednesday January 11th for an Eagles playoff themed All-Star day. We've done these in the past and they are some of the best days on the station. Its a hodgepodge of shows with hosts joining those that they sometimes don't even see!
While everyone will be focused on the Eagles playoff run, the shows will also have fun with some off-topic talk thanks to the "topic wheel." A creatively named wheel, that you spin, that has topics on it. But the topics can be "turn to the person left to you and tell them what you dont like about them."

AGRSS™ is a Not-For-Profit organization dedicated to safe auto glass installations.
ADVERTISING AGENCY DONATES TIME, EXPERTISE TO CREATE AGRSS™ LOGO
An Ohio agency has created the distinctive yellow and black logo that is now the trademarked insignia of the AGRSS™ Council. OIA Marketing Communications, the Dayton, Ohio company donated their employee time and expertise to the endeavor.
"At one of the AGRSS™ meetings they were talking about somebody to design the logo and do some of the marketing work and somebody suggested they use us. That's how they contacted us and we said that we'd do it," said Steve Hamilton, account executive at OIA.
That somebody was Joel Timmons of Dow Automotive/Essex ARG, who is one of OIA's clients. When Timmons was asked about a good marketing company, Timmons volunteered to talk to OIA.
"It took about 2 months and it was a back and forth process where we came up with some ideas and presented them to the Council," Hamilton continued. "They talked about it and came back with suggestions, so we wanted to make sure there was complete buy-in with everybody."
"We really appreciate all the time OIA has donated organizing and designing the logo for us," said Deb Levy, chair of the AGRSS™ Marketing Committee.
OIA is a full service firm that focuses on business-to-business marketing communications. Its clients value its ability to quickly understand the competitive advantages of their products or services and to communicate them effectively to potential customers.
"We wanted to do it because we feel that AGRSS™ is a worthwhile corporation and we wanted to help the overall industry," Hamilton added. "I thought it was very easy to work with them, they had very good suggestions and it seemed to produce a very good logo. Our overall goal was to make a simple, professional, memorable look and I think we did it. This logo is going to represent a non-profit organization that is representing safety. So we had to make sure that it had a look of stability and reliability. That's one of the reasons we finally went with yellow because it's a color of caution. We just wanted a logo that says "I can count on these people.""
The Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standards Council, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the safe replacement of auto glass. AGRSS™ was founded and is supported by companies in the auto glass replacement industry that keep safe installation as their primary goal.
AGRSS™ is an accredited American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-standards development organization. It has developed the world's only auto glass replacement safety standard, the AGRSS™ standard (ANSI/AGRSS™ 002-2002 Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standard). The AGRSS™ Standard addresses procedures, education and product performance.

It's often said that the only constant in life is change. And, in a fast-paced industry driven by trends, technology, new products and ever-evolving human needs, it's no surprise that innovation is an essential part of what makes the kitchen and bath industry thrive.
But innovation isn't just about products, technology or trends. Rather, innovation comes from the people who bring great designs to life: the designers, dealers and industry pros who conceive new ideas, solve difficult problems, forge new business models, find creative ways of helping homeowners experience and embrace their most personal spaces, share their knowledge by speaking, blogging, mentoring and serving their industry, and inculcate design into their communities at large.
Of course everyone knows that the kitchen and bath industry loves to celebrate great design – and great design has always been at the heart of what this industry is all about. But Kitchen & Bath Design News has long held that it's equally important to celebrate the great designers, dealers and industry leaders who innovate every day, in myriad ways, both large and small, in order to raise the bar for the kitchen and bath industry as a whole.
For that reason, KBDN is proud to present its second annual Top 50 Innovators list, honoring industry professionals who have made a name for themselves through their creative efforts, leadership talents, business acumen and professionalism.
Nominated by their peers and then reviewed by the KBDN nominating committee, the 2018 Innovators reflect the best and the brightest industry talents – those shining stars who are lighting the way for future generations to come and redefining a multifaceted industry that reshapes lives even as it redesigns homes.
These are the artists who never stop seeking inspiration, the teachers who have never stopped learning, the technology gurus who are always ahead of the curve, the business professionals who understand that innovation is what drives success and profitability, the marketing talents who understand how to re-imagine the very channels of communication – and, most of all, the human beings whose passion drives them to always strive to be better – and in doing so, to make the industry better as well.
customers, forge ties with their communities or solve tough problems.
What they all share is an ability to think, work and create outside the box; a fearlessness in advancing their dreams and goals; a gift for leadership; the ability to change and evolve to keep pace with a rapidly changing market, and an extraordinary commitment to their firms, their clients and the kitchen and bath industry as a whole.
Know someone who's a true innovator in the kitchen and bath industry? KBDN will begin accepting nominations for next year's Innovators on January 1, 2019. Visit our website for further details.

Thanksgiving's three NFL games suffered ratings drops, failing to change narrative
All three games earned double-digit drops in viewership.
NFLRatingsBy Ian Casselberry on 11/27/2017 11/27/2017
The Thanksgiving holiday did nothing to change the narrative of NFL ratings declining this season. Despite so many people tying football with Thanksgiving and not much else of note on television (unless you were binging a TV marathon or Netflix), viewership numbers were down for Thursday's three games.
** The early Vikings-Lions game drew a rating of 11.4, down from last year's 14.4 mark (for a game that also featured Minnesota and Detroit). That was a 12.3 percent drop.
** The late-afternoon Chargers-Cowboys telecast earned a 12.4 rating, dropping 20.5 percent from last year's 15.6 number. But the Cowboys played their arch-rival, the Washington Redskins, in that game. National audiences apparently weren't as enamored with the Chargers playing Dallas. (Additionally, DISH Network subscribers couldn't watch the game due to the carrier's dispute with CBS.)
** The Redskins were involved in the Thanksgiving nightcap, but matched up against the 2-8 (now 2-9) New York Giants. A game that looked like it could be crucial back in September had nothing at stake with both teams under .500 (Washington came into the contest with a 4-6 record). That resulted in a 9.7 rating, down 10.2 percent from last year's Steelers-Colts game, which drew a 10.8 rating.
To be fair, only one of the three games was an important matchup with the Lions attempting to close in on the Vikings in the NFC North and inch ahead of the logjam for the conference's wild-card playoff spots. The Chargers are in the AFC playoff hunt, but paired with a Cowboys team that always draws interest yet has disappointed this season. Audiences were apparently ready to watch or do something else by the time Giants-Redskins hit the air on NBC.
As a result, the NFL continues to face questions and scrutiny as to why ratings continue to fall this season. Is there football fatigue? Maybe that was even more true this year, with an exciting Friday and Saturday of rivalry week college football awaiting? Did people want to avoid the controversy of player protests and make sure political discussions didn't poison holiday time with family and friends? Or were the matchups just not as appealing as they may have looked when the 2017 NFL schedule was originally made?
If the NFL and its TV partners hoped that viewership might increase with the holiday and what amounts to a captive audience on Thanksgiving, this year's ratings demonstrated that the declining ratings trend is stronger than family and friends gathering (or nothing much else on TV) could overcome.

Kamijima town, one of the most beautiful villages in the Japan, a remote island town with 25 islands floating in the Setonai Sea.Among them today I would like to introduce you about quite interesting activity at Takai Kamijima.island whose population is just 16 as of today. (The youngest one is 66 years old.).They draw manga in vacant houses from more than ten years ago to try cheering such an island.
At first, it is said that Mr. Hasebe, cartoon writer, who immigrated to the beauty of the island afterlife, drew his own work on the wall of his home.It's called the rumor and empathy, and the cooperation of other cartoonists. Now, more than 15 works have been drawn not only in vacant houses, but also in public halls and water tank.
At the moment, manga art is drawn only in the empty house of the harbor someone's requirements, but unfortunately, the number of vacant houses is increasing every year, so it is not likely that art works will continue to increase from now on.
But on the contrary, it is attracted to this cartoon art work, and the number of migrants may increase and the population is more than the age, anyway, I would like to keep watching the progress of this island.
There is no vending machine nor shops on the island, so don't forget to bring food and drinks when you go to the island.There are currently only four ferries to and from Takaikamijima and Yuge Island.The last flight is at 5:40am, so please do not miss it.

The IH source data with headspace characterization data can be used to identify what chemicals are likely to be present in the worker breathing zone and estimate their maximum concentrations, but worker protection must be based on actual workplace data. Workplace data can come from monitoring or sampling the worker breathing zone. Personal samples are collected to establish the time-weighted average (or other regulatory limit) concentration of vapors to which the worker has been exposed. Monitoring is conducted with direct reading instruments (DRI) and colorimetric devices (e.g., Drager tubes) that provide essentially real time field measurements. Sampling, which entails subsequent laboratory analysis of the samples, is conducted to identify and measure chemicals not specifically addressed by monitoring methods.
Area characterization data may be collected using sampling devices which have the capability of measuring the concentrations of all COPCs or through area monitoring devices capable of measuring some of the COPCs. Area characterization data are typically collected from several fixed locations considered representative of the worker breathing zone (not at sources such as the breather filter of an SST).
Sampling pumps are utilized for area/personal sampling in conjunction with sample collection media and Tedlar® bags.

Cambridge United boss Shaun Derry says his current squad is too large as the January transfer window approaches.
The U's have won three and lost three of their six matches since 38-year-old Derry replaced Richard Money at the League Two club.
"It's tough when you walk into a football club and it's got 28 or 29 players and, with the greatest respect, we're in League Two," said Derry.
"They're numbers that cause some difficulties and are too much for me."
He continued to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "Unfortunately there's going to be some unhappy lads.
"But they have to be professional as well, they can't throw their dummy out; it's a long season and I'm going to be needing a number of them between now and then."
The U's currently have six players on loan at the Abbey Stadium, including Everton midfielder Ryan Ledson, Gillingham striker Ben Williamson and Shrewsbury defender Mickey Demetriou.
Derry confirmed that discussions were under way with parent clubs about the players they want to keep on.
"I think the loans have done well for us," said Derry. "They've given us a different aspect to what I walked into and created that intensity that I've been looking for.
"There'll be a number of loans that I'll want to keep and there'll be one or two who you shuffle about, but I suppose that's the advantage of playing in the loan market.
"I have said that isn't something I want to be our bench mark in terms of our strength coming from our loan players - I want it to be our side and I think I'm getting closer to that."

White House makes $1.8 trillion stimulus offer to Congress in compromise to reach agreement
DW Newsdesk October 9, 2020
The White House has made a new offer to Democrats of $1.8 trillion in a bid to break months of deadlock over a stalled stimulus bill.
Capitol, Washington D.C. / © Harold Mendoza
The new offer still falls short of Democrats' demands for a $2.2 trillion stimulus to deal with the fallout of the pandemic, but with the election edging closer, the White House has been eager to move things ahead.
President Trump in a tweet said that he wanted everyone to "Go Big!" which could suggest the $1.8 trillion figure could be increased further. The President later told radio host Rush Limbaugh that he wanted the stimulus package to be "bigger" than what both sides of the political spectrum were contemplating.
The stalled stimulus bill has been in discussion for several weeks, with Democrats insisting on a provision of more than $400 billion in relief aid for state and local governments battling COVID-19 at a local level.
Having failed to reach an agreement for new relief cash, Congress is running out of time to take action as millions of unemployed workers lose stimulus checks and infections soar to more than 50,000 per day.
As the U.S. jobless toll goes up, there's concern the long-term repercussion on the recovery could slow down a return to normal. With nearly 4 million Americans losing their jobs, and those jobs not being replaced – analysts will be watching the outcome of the stalled stimulus talks.
Will Democrats and Republicans get this new emergency stimulus package through in time to prevent real damage to the economy?

Q: Encoding problems while displaying file content in  tag So here is my problem. I have files that I display in  tags. However, when the file contains special caracters like 'é', 'à' ... they are not prompted properly and are replaced by '?' . Retyping the caracters and saving the file in the web app solve the problem but it's not very user-friendly.

How can I solve this?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

EDIT

Those caracters are in sh and conf files. Those files are written by ops and thus, i'd like to find a solution not implying having them type caracters with html codes. The pages are all using UTF-8 encoding already.

A: Because the browser cannot interpret these symbols in your HTML source file directly they have to use special predefined key values to identify what symbols you want to display. If you follow this link i'm sure you will find the code for all the symbols you are looking for : http://www.starr.net/is/type/htmlcodes.html
Otherwise you will continue to have the '?'.

This week, thousands of mums across the country will drop their children off at the school gate after the long summer holidays. Today, MummyPages.ie, Ireland's largest parenting community reveals some secret insights on how mums really feel about their children returning to school. Unsurprisingly, the majority (91%) of mums can't wait for their children to return to school in order to get the whole family back into a school routine.
Worryingly, one in five mums report feeling judged by other mums for being a 'Stay-at-Home Mum' or 'Working Mum' on the daily drop-off or pick-up at school. Feedback from our mum community highlights how difficult it can be for mums and especially for new mums to make friends with other mums. MummyPages calls for mums to support and reach out to other mums at the school gate this September, instead of slipping into the mum stereotypes judging others that we hear about so often.

Q: Are there open problems for primes which are known for probable primes? Define "probable prime" (PP) to be natural $n>1$ satisfying $2^{n-1} \equiv 1 \pmod{n}$ or $n=2$.
Probable primes are the union of the primes and base two pseudoprimes.
This definition is much simpler than the definition for primes
and the primes are sufficiently large subset of probable primes.

Are there open problems for primes which are known for probable
  primes?

Positive answer doesn't necessarily mean the problem is
solved for the primes (e.g. infinitely many twin PP hypothetically might
mean finitely many twin primes and infinitely many twin base 2 pseudoprimes).

A: The question of existence of large prime Fermat numbers $2^{2^n}+1$ is open, but the corresponding question for probable primes is straightforward to solve. $2^{2^n} \equiv -1 \mod 2^{2^n}+1$, so by squaring, we see that $2^{2^j}\equiv 1 \mod 2^{2^n}+1$ for all $j>n$.  In particular, $2^n > n$, so we get a positive answer for all non-negative integers $n$.
This gives another way to deterministically generate probable primes, and as opposed to the iterated Mersenne method, we get a sequence that grows only doubly exponentially instead of by a "tower of exponentials".

A: It is of course dangerous to say something cannot be done (and difficult to prove!), but one may be skeptical that such a (natural) problem exists.  The number of ``probable primes" that are composite (these are usually called "pseudoprimes") up to $x$ is at most
$$
\ll x \exp \Big( - c \frac{\log x \log \log \log x}{\log \log x}\Big),
$$
by a result of Pomerance. Thus the set of probable primes is essentially just the set of primes together with a much smaller set of pseudoprimes, and I don't think we understand enough about this small set to use it meaningfully (in contrast for example with almost primes which are at least as numerous as the primes and have a more tractable distribution).

A: There are infinitely many Mersenne probable primes.  Let $p$ be a prime (or even a probable prime).  Then I claim that $2^p-1$ is a probable prime.
Proof: $2^k \equiv 1 \pmod{2^p-1}$ if and only if $k \equiv 0 \pmod p$, so it suffices to check that $2^p-1-1 \equiv 0 \pmod p$, and this follows from $p$ being a probable prime.

A: There are infinitely many probable primes of the form $(n-1)^2+1$.
This generalizes to more polynomial since Fermat numbers satisfy
$F_n=(F_{n-1}-1)^2+1$.

Evans & Tate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, clear pale lemon-green in colour with aroma of fresh cut grass, passion fruit with a hint of elderflower on the nose. Dry medium body and intensity of crisp green apple and ripe stone fruits with hints of green pepper on the palate. Great acidity structure with a medium to long finish. True to the classic.

Cashier's workplace, a workplace Seller workplace Commodity, automation of trade – what does it all mean Once a reservation – it is not about supermarkets (big business – requires large investments), we are talking about small and medium-sized businesses, to individual entrepreneurs and company on simplified taxation – the small and medium business should be automated to a minimum investment, otherwise he would not soon become profitable and may not be cost-effective than ever. Why invest in automation for a large number of disparate shops or stalls Why condemn yourself for life in an expensive service and maintenance Very often watch such a picture (You have to kind of activity) – A customer buys a pos station for space-related cost and leaves happy, hoping that all his problems solved with the automation of trade A week later he comes back with square eyes mask of horror on his face, as after he put in a tax office on account of fiscal registrar pos station – learned that in fact he had nothing to automate trade and only the beginning of a great embezzlement It turns out – for the big money bought only a means for breaking through the check (POS station), and to fully automate all need: to buy a computer for a commodity specialist, to buy goods manager job, find a specialist or train itself (for a lot of money) to work on this job, find experts who set it up for normal operation (again for a decent amount), and experts still need to conclude a service contract with monthly fee of decent and gone – go automation is not something that is not profitable – but simply an effort to afford it and so wanted to do everything yourself, cheap, angry, once and for all So I wanted to be aware of all going in person, rather than looking from side to obscure the expensive automation and hope for decency goods manager, sellers and their coalition What I offer – the result of my assistance in the automation of business my friends – the same businesses as well as you, who have their main business with multiple retail outlets Now they are really the masters of his craft, can not worry about what they are cheated, can effectively plan your time for the procurement of goods and negotiate with suppliers, know all about your product, revenue and actual revenue, sales did not live at the expense of theft – it's just impossible As a rule, the basic allowance for business conduct themselves (or instruct their relatives), a special pleasure from it gets a feminine side, because now she is at such a height in front of your friends and family that they have to watch it from the bottom up. . .

Ink and Shadows
Author: Ellery Adams Narrator: Cris Dukehart Release Date: January 2021
Nora Pennington is known for her window displays, and as Halloween approaches, she decides to showcase fictional heroines like Roald Dahl's Matilda and Madeline Miller's Circe. A family-values group disapproves of the magical themes, though, and wastes no time launching a modern-day witch hunt. Suddenly, former friends and customers are targeting not only Nora and Miracle Books, but a new shopkeeper, Celeste, who's been selling CBD oil products. Nora and her friends in the Secret, Book, and Scone Society are doing their best to put an end to the strife-but then someone puts an end to a life. Though the death is declared an accident, the ruling can't explain the old book page covered with strange symbols and disturbing drawings left under Nora's doormat, a postcard from an anonymous stalker, or multiple cases of vandalism. The only hope is that Nora can be a heroine herself and lead the Secret, Book, and Scone Society in a successful investigation-before more bodies turn up and the secrets from Celeste's past come back to haunt them all...
A Fatal Fabergé
Author: Ellery Adams, Parker Riggs Narrator: Andi Arndt Release Date: June 2020
In the grips of a cold and drab autumn, Collector's Weekly reporter Molly Appleby is thrilled to be attending a festive black-tie fundraiser hosted by the very private Natasha Gordon, an heiress known for her charitable events and aversion to the limelight. It's Molly first chance to see the stunning interior of the Gordon estate, but when a rare book dealer is pushed from a high window to his death, she's confronted with a sight that's become all too common for her. And despite the fact that the crude and pompous victim was roundly disliked by all who knew him and that any number of people may have wanted him dead, Molly agrees to look into the murder for his surviving son. As the police go about their steady business of interviewing the dozens of people in attendance that night, Molly decides to look closer to home and begins questioning the staff and anyone else connected to the estate and the victim. More and more stories of the dead man's troubled life and marriage begin to emerge, including a potentially lucrative deal that's gone bust and an old Gordon family heirloom that's gone missing-a rare jeweled Faberge egg once owned by the Empress Alexandra of Russia. When clues to the murderer's identity begin to accumulate, so too do the threats to Molly, and she knows she's getting close to the truth.
The Book of Candlelight
As the owner of Miracle Books, Nora Pennington figures all the wet weather this spring is at least good for business. The local inns are packed with stranded travelers, and among them Nora finds both new customers and a new friend, the sixtysomething Sheldon, who starts helping out at the store. Since a little rain never hurt anyone, Nora rides her bike over to the flea market one sodden day and buys a bowl from Danny, a Cherokee potter. It'll make a great present for Nora's EMT boyfriend, but the next day, a little rain turns into a lot of rain, and the Miracle River overflows its banks. Amid the wreckage of a collapsed footbridge, a body lies within the churning water. Nora and the sheriff both doubt the ruling of accidental drowning, and Nora decides it's time for the Secret, Book, and Scone Society to spring into action. When another body turns up, it becomes clearer that Danny's death can't be blamed on a natural disaster. A crucial clue may lie within the stone walls of the Inn of Mist and Roses: a diary, over a century old and spattered with candle wax, that leads Nora and her friends through a maze of intrigue-and onto the trail of a murderer...

Tensions are boiling over, and when the developer gets a little too sauced one night at the B&B and turns up dead the next morning, James and the supper club will have to put aside their distaste for the victim to help nab the culprit. It looks like an open-and-shut case, but James and his friends are convinced the main suspect is innocent and promise to help get her out of hot water. Dividing their time between the investigation and the reunion festivities, they're shocked to discover that members of the cast are guarding some very unsavory secrets. With time running out before the actors leave town and the trail of clues goes stale, the supper club will have to turn up the heat on a suspicious character before the killer serves up another murder.

Author: Ellery Adams, Parker Riggs Narrator: Andi Arndt Release Date: August 2018
When star reporter Molly Appleby exchanged vows with her new husband, she also made a promise to give up sleuthing. But given her knack for stumbling onto murders, and murderers, she's realizing she never should have made a promise she couldn't keep. Molly's just finished an article on the Forget Me Not Doll Club for Collector's Weekly, but before the magazine even hits the newsstands, one of the club members is found murdered, and a stolen antique doll-purportedly haunted-is found in the victim's house. When police discover that few of the peculiar club members will mourn the deceased, and that most of them had more motives than alibis, they once again enlist Molly's help to solve this very odd case. But piecing together a deadly puzzle is never easy, and when another member of the club is attacked, Molly begins to wonder if the eccentric group of doll lovers might have deeper and darker connections than she ever imagined. And as she begins to piece together the unusual background of the eerie doll and uncovers a history of troubled lives, she realizes there are more victims than the obvious ones in this case-and that some people will do anything to protect their darkest secrets.

Ocwen Financial quietly announced earlier this year that it planned to exit correspondent lending to focus on its "higher margin" channels – retail and wholesale. As it turns out, the company's focus on wholesale lending lasted all of two months. Ocwen revealed Thursday that it plans to exit its wholesale forward lending business, shutting down its largest origination channel.
Jet Direct Mortgage, a consumer direct lender based in New York, announced this week that it is expanding into wholesale lending with the launch of Jet Direct Funding. In a release, the company said that it recently completed a "successful" testing period for its wholesale channel and is now accepting mortgage broker applications.
Western Bancorp, a Silicon Valley-based wholesale mortgage originator, said this week that it plans to grow its business after being acquired by Eli Global, a private equity firm based in North Carolina. With the financial backing of Eli Global, Western Bancorp said that it also intends to "quickly expand" its operations beyond Silicon Valley and enter into new wholesale channels, including non-delegated and mini-correspondent.
Open Mortgage, an Austin, Texas-based mortgage lender, announced Wednesday that it is expanding its mortgage offerings and adding a wholesale lending channel for purchase and reverse mortgages. Here are the details.

Humphrey Burton
Faber & Faber, 624 pages, £14.99
This paperback reprint of the British tv producer, director, and broadcaster's 1994 homage to the American musician is a welcome addition to the already consequential Bernstein centenary hoopla. In a candid new introduction helpfully referring to published Bernsteiniana of the past two decades, Burton admits that his book was 'discreet about [his] closeness' to the subject, since 'as his regular film director I was intimately involved with Bernstein and his worlds for 25 years.' An unabashed worshipper at the shrine, Burton generally soft-pedals critiques, even valid ones, in favour of overarching tolerance and understanding. While this gives a friendly, generous tone to the sometimes edulcorated narrative, it does not fully capture the truly operatic, over-the-top hysteria with which Bernstein lived much of his life. More people in these pages fall to their knees with emotion than in most World Cup memoirs.
While operatic highlights, such as the collaborations during the 1950s at La Scala between Bernstein and Maria Callas, are described here, there is little suggestion of why contemporaneous, and later, attempts by Bernstein to conduct Puccini's La bohème bore such drab, confused results.
Sometimes the biographer seems swept up in Bernstein's dizzying multitude of projects, soberly presenting at face value implausible ones, such as the idea circa 1980 that the baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau would be eager to star as the paedophile Humbert Humbert in a Bernstein-composed setting of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita.
Happily, this abortive project did not mar cherished memories of the Fischer-Dieskau/Bernstein collaboration from 1966 in Verdi's Falstaff.
This gem, and a vigorous Beethoven's Fidelio from 1970 apart, Bernstein's operatic discography can be a mixed blessing. One might never guess this from reading Burton's dutiful praise of Bernstein's 'sumptuous' Rosenkavalier from 1971, overlooking its iffy casting, a problem that dogged several of Bernstein's opera recordings, especially Wagner's Tristan und Isolde from 1981 and Bizet's Carmen from 1973.
About the quality of the operas Bernstein composed, Burton is better on a success such as Trouble in Tahiti (1952) than on the uneven A Quiet Place (1983).

Crypto Investors May Have to Flee the U.S. Soon
Home » Crypto Investors May Have to Flee the U.S. Soon
The idea behind decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) was to make them immune to regulation. Federal authorities are now focusing not just on a DAO but also on its investors.
In the Web3 community, there is a great deal of concern about regulation and the legitimacy of cryptocurrency initiatives. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which announced in September that it was fining a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), Ooki DAO, and its investors $250,000, made this particularly clear in the US. The penalty was especially concerning given that DAOs should be "regulatory proof."
The bZeroX protocol used by Ooki DAO offered illegal off-exchange trading of digital assets, according to the CFTC's statement on the subject. The organization objected that the creators, Kyle Kistner and Tom Bean, attempted to leverage the DAO's existing bZeroX protocol to make it immune to regulation.
Here Is Where Things Went Wrong
According to the CFTC, bZeroX's creators boasted to members of the bZeroX community that the activities would be enforcement-proof by moving power to a DAO. However, The bZx Founders were wrong. DAOs may not break the law with impunity and are not exempt from enforcement. The CFTC and other authorities won't adhere to a decentralized facade. But Web3 attorneys and developers are highly concerned about something in the judgment. According to the agency's lawsuit, a particular DAO's voters may be held uniquely accountable.
Regarding cryptocurrency legislation, there are too many open questions. Microtransactions and airdrops are one example. Such transactions occur over a long period on various exchanges, with varying price swings. Tax reporting on this is impossible, especially since many sites are no longer used. It becomes nearly impossible to account for when you include staking rewards and liquid staking for derivative tokens. Even Proof-of-Work (POW) blockchains are being targeted by the Biden administration, according to new "complete guidelines" released in September. At the same time, administration officials are advocating for a digital USD.

Senator Dick Durbin's Support of the FIRST STEP
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 21, 2018
CONTACT: Alex Gudich | 415-240-2016 | alex@cut50.org
Senator Dick Durbin's Support of the FIRST STEP Is A Game Changer
Statement from Jessica Jackson Sloan, National Director of #cut50,
in response to Senator Dick Durbin's support of FIRST STEP Act
Washington D.C-- "This is a huge breakthrough. The FIRST STEP Act and the added sentencing reform provisions are the result of a years-long effort by grassroots groups, formerly incarcerated people, and tens of thousands of #cut50 supporters pushing Members of Congress from both parties.
We are excited to see Senator Durbin's crucial endorsement today. We encourage other Democrats and Republicans to join him, Chairman Grassley, and Senators Whitehouse and Cornyn in supporting this bill.
Given that the bill now has strong support from leadership in both parties - and the endorsement of the President - Senate Majority Leader McConnell should waste no time in scheduling a floor vote.
Both parties can score a win by showing that they are able to tackle a deeply entrenched problem that has gone unsolved for too long. Our federal prison system is in disarray and we send far too many people into incarceration for far too long, destroying too many families. The FIRST STEP Act will help keep our communities safe, restore fairness to the system, and give people an opportunity to redeem themselves and rebuild their lives with the tools they need to come home job ready.
When we come together, miracles can happen.
#cut50 works to cut crime and incarceration in all 50 states by translating local needs into smart safety solutions. The organization brings together unlikely allies—formerly and currently incarcerated individuals, community members, crime survivors, local elected officials, and law enforcement--to keep communities safe and families together.

Nanette Newman (born 29 May 1934) is an English actress and author. Newman was born in Northampton, England. She was educated at Sternhold College, the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts stage school and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Newman made her first appearance in film as a teenager in Personal Affairs in 1953. There followed a number of period roles, including the heroine in The Wrong Box (1966); The Madwoman of Chaillot (1969); The Raging Moon (1971), as a young woman in a wheelchair; and International Velvet (1978). She was from a variety background: acting on stage and also appearing in television advertisements, notably for Fairy Liquid. She was also a popular regular panellist on the 1970s revival of the BBC panel game show What's My Line?. She is the author of thirty children's books and six cookery books; winning a Cookbook of the Year Award with The Summer Cookbook, and in the mid 1970s presenting a children's television cooking show called Fun Food Factory. Newman married Bryan Forbes in 1955, becoming a West Ham United fan as a result. The couple have two daughters, Emma Forbes and Sarah Standing.


Event Handlers: Help you place processing logic for various business events in this category. The event handler itself can instantiate a brand new business process or hook into an existing one. Event handlers can be used as reusable entry points to various processes. E.g. a delinquent account event could instantiate a ReviewCustomer business process or a document expired event could trigger a DocumentTracking business process.
Sub-processes: These are micro-flows reusable across multiple business process. These assets encapsulate system steps, human steps such as escalation and routing. For instance, Purchase Equipment and Book Itinerary could leverage Finance Approval Process Flow (Note: obviously this has to be thought through carefully – the context for each business process would be different and appropriate data has to be sent to a sub-process for it to be truly useful).
Event Generators: These will typically have logic to assemble, transform, and publish an event. The event needs could be stored in a system and sent via nightly batch and over time become real-time. Event generators will shield business processes from such changes. These could be message generation components that publish messages at various stages in a business process. The event itself could be published from several business processes – so these generation components themselves are reusable. For instance, the AddressUpdated event could be published from the Account Maintenance or via the Purchase Widget business processes.
Business Services (or Task services): These often contain orchestrations that invoke external data services, perform business logic with the help of rules. They typically map directly to a business capability and tend to be less reusable than data services. But they can be reused as well across business processes. For example, a getCustomerCreditRating service could be leveraged by AccountOpening and AccountManagement business processes.
Data Services: These are service capabilities that encapsulate key enterprise data such as customer, product, account, document and provide create/read/update/delete operations as well as search, validate, enrich functions as well. They can be accessed from business processes directly or within a task service.
Decision Services: These assets facilitate decision making in the process, often by invoking business rules. Some rules might be reusable if they encapsulate logic that is applicable across multiple processes. This may not always be possible and will require rules to be at the right level of granularity. E.g. a validate customer decision service could be used by AccountOpening and DocumentManagement business processes.
System Adapters: These are connectivity components that provide access to legacy applications and other proprietary systems. They are used by your services layer to shield business processes from being directly coupled to external systems. These adapters could be leveraged by data services, business services, and event generators.

The 825th Strategic Aerospace Division is an inactive United States Air Force organization.  Its last assignment was with Strategic Air Command (SAC), assigned to Second Air Force at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, where it was inactivated on  1 January 1970.

The division was first activated at Little Rock by SAC as the 825th Air Division in August 1955 as the host and command organization for two Boeing B-47 Stratojet units, the 70th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing and the 384th Bombardment Wing.  From 1956 to 1959 the division's wings deployed to overseas bases periodically.  After an organizational test, the 384th Wing began to maintain its alert aircraft at its home station and the 70th Wing became a training unit for reconnaissance crews flying the Stratojet.  The division was awarded an Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for its participation in the test.  A third B-47 wing at Chennault Air Force Base was briefly assigned to the division as well.

On two occasions, the division's operational units assumed a full alert posture.  The first was in 1958, when the Lebanon and the Taiwan Strait crises occurred, and the second responded to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

As the B-47 force grew smaller in the early 1960s, the division's wings were inactivated, but the division added one of the Air Force's two LGM-25 Titan II wings and became the headquarters for SAC's two Convair B-58 Hustler wings.  It continued this mission until January 1970 as the B-58 was retired and Little Rock was transferred to Tactical Air Command.

History

B-47 era

The division was first activated by Strategic Air Command (SAC) as the 825th Air Division on 1 August 1955 to act as host and command organization for two Boeing B-47 Stratojet units, the 70th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing and the 384th Bombardment Wing at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas.  Little Rock had been opened by SAC's 4225th Air Base Squadron on 1 February of that year and construction was still in progress when the division and 384th Wing were activated on 1 August.  The division's 825th Air Base Group was the only complete unit at Little Rock, for it was not until 9 September that the base could handle even limited aircraft movements.  The 70th Wing had been deployed at Lockbourne Air Force Base, Ohio, where other SAC RB-47 reconnaissance wings were located, for training on the RB-47 since activating in January, while the 384th Wing was only partially manned and had no aircraft until the end of the year.  The 70th Wing remained attached to Lockbourne's 801st Air Division  until mid-October 1955 when it was finally able to move its planes to Little Rock.  The 825th controlled the manning, equipping, and operational readiness of its two wings.

The 70th Wing also was assigned a squadron of Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighters, whose first plane arrived at Little Rock in September 1955.  By June 1956, the 70th Air Refueling Squadron was ready for deployment and spent two months at Ernest Harmon Air Force Base, Newfoundland.  In October 1956, the 70th Wing deployed as a unit to Morocco, and a few weeks after its return in December, the 384th Wing deployed to the United Kingdom.  Although the 384th Wing continued to deploy under Operation Reflex until July 1959 when it began to maintain aircraft on alert at Little Rock, these were the only times the wings deployed as entire units.

Also during 1957 the division was the lead unit for a test of a revised organization for its two combat wings.  The test was then expanded to include changes to the 825th Air Base Group.  Because of the test's success, the division's subordinate units retained the organization after test completion and the system was eventually implemented throughout SAC.  Division participation in the test earned the division an Air Force Outstanding Unit Award.  Along with this reorganization, the mission of the 70th Wing became training combat ready crews, rather than strategic reconnaissance missions.

SAC increased its readiness posture in July 1958 in response to the crises in Lebanon and the Taiwan Strait.  As a result, the 384th Wing placed all its aircraft on Emergency War Order alert and ceased its normal flying training operations.

The division became responsible for a unit not located at Little Rock for the first time in June 1960, when the 68th Bombardment Wing at Chennault Air Force Base, Louisiana was assigned to the 825th, giving it three wings equipped with the Stratojet.   The 70th Air Refueling Squadron began to maintain a portion of its alert tankers at Clinton County Air Force Base, Ohio in September 1960 and the 4090th Combat Support Group there was transferred to the Division.  However, SAC was soon withdrawing its B-47s from its inventory.  The first sign of the reduction in the Stratojet force came to the division when the 70th Wing shut down its RB-47 combat crew training school in October 1961 and traded its reconnaissance equipped RB-47s for bombers.  The 70th never became combat ready with bombers, but was inactivated in January 1962.  The 68th Wing followed suit three months later as SAC ceased tactical operations at Chennault and the division once again was responsible only for wings at Little Rock.

Even as the B-47 force was shrinking, the 825th assumed a new mission in April 1962, when the 308th Strategic Missile Wing was activated at Little Rock and assigned to the division.  The 308th assumed control of its first LGM-25C Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile complex in August, although it did not become fully operational until December of the following year.  Because the division controlled both bomber and missile forces, it was renamed the 825th Strategic Aerospace Division.

Cuban Missile Crisis
Shortly after the detection of Soviet missiles in Cuba, on 22 October 1962, SAC dispersed its B-47s.   Most dispersal bases were civilian airfields with AF Reserve or ANG units.  B-47s were configured for execution of the Emergency War Order as soon as possible after dispersal.  On 29 October, KC-97s were dispersed to reinforce forward based Tanker Task Forces and provide refueling for the increased number of B-47s on alert.   On 15 November one-sixth of the dispersed B-47s were recalled to their home bases.  Although SAC increased the alert status of some of its Titan I missiles, none of the Titan IIs of the 308th Wing were yet operational.

The dispersed B-47s and supporting tankers were recalled to their home bases on 24 November. Three days later SAC returned to normal alert posture.

B-58 era

In September 1964, the division's final B-47 wing inactivated and the division became SAC's headquarters for the new supersonic Convair B-58 Hustler.  The 43d Bombardment Wing was attached to the division in August and assigned in September when it moved to Little Rock from Carswell Air Force Base, Texas, where it had been performing operational testing of the B-58 and also managed the combat crew training school for the Hustler. The B-58 training school was transferred from Carswell to Bunker Hill Air Force Base, Indiana where SAC's other B-58 wing, the 305th Bombardment Wing was located.  The 305th was assigned to the division the same day that the 43d Wing moved.

The division was inactivated with the conversion of the 305th to an Air Refueling Wing and its reassignment at the beginning of January 1970 as the B-58 was phased out and the division's Hustlers transferred to storage with the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.  The 825th Combat Support Group was reassigned to the 308th Wing until the end of the month when the 43d Bombardment Wing was inactivated and Little Rock was transferred to Tactical Air Command.
