Boca Raton, Fla. - Dec. 9, 2014 - Peter L. Gladstone and Jeffrey A. Weissman, Principals of the marital and family law firm Gladstone & Weissman, P.A., are proud to announce that the firm has received a Tier 1 ranking by U.S. News and Best Lawyers ®, in their 2015 "Best Law Firms" rankings. The firm has received a Tier 1 ranking in the Miami Metropolitan area (Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton) in Family Law since 2010, when "Best Law Firms" was launched.
With offices in Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale, Gladstone & Weissman, P.A. exclusively and discreetly handles complex divorce and related family law matters with integrity and compassion.
Firms included in the 2015 "Best Law Firms" list are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Achieving a tiered ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise. It reflects the high level of respect a firm has earned among other leading lawyers and clients in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, professionalism and integrity.
Awards were given in 74 national practice areas and 120 metropolitan practice areas. Over 17,000 attorneys provided over 595,000 law firm assessments, and over 7,000 clients provided over 42,000 evaluations.
Tier 1 rankings were determined through a combination of impressive feedback from the firm's clients and peers, as well as the information that the firm provided in response to U.S. News - Best Lawyers' law firm survey, law firm leaders survey, and Best Lawyers' peer review. To be eligible to participate in the "Best Law Firms" submission process, a firm must have at least one attorney who has received high enough peer reviews to be listed in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America ©, which recognizes the top four percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S.
Both Gladstone and Weissman were recently named to the 2015 edition of The Best Lawyers in America under Family Law. Gladstone has been named to Best Lawyers each year from 2005 through 2015; Weissman has been named to Best Lawyers each year from 2007 through 2015. In 2014, Weissman was named the "Family Law Lawyer of the Year" in the Miami Metropolitan area by The Best Lawyers in America.
"All of us at Gladstone & Weissman, P.A. are extremely pleased to have achieved a Tier 1 ranking in U.S. News - Best Lawyers' Best Law Firms since 2010," said Gladstone. "The recognition mirrors the great integrity and compassion that each of our staff members provide to our clients every day."
In November 2014, the national first tier rankings were published in a special Money issue released by U.S. News & World Report. The national and metropolitan first tier rankings were featured in the 2015 "Best Law Firms" stand-alone publication. All of the rankings, in all tiers, were published online at http://bestlawfirms.usnews.com.
The U.S. News - Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms" rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process. To be eligible for a ranking, a law firm must have at least one lawyer listed in 21st Edition of The Best Lawyers in America© list for that particular location and specialty.

Ravenclaw's symbol is an eagle.
Ever since the first film came out, there has been confusion and heated debates among fans whether Ravenclaw's symbol is, in fact, a raven or an eagle. Both symbols crop up if you search for Ravenclaw. However, the majority of merchandise comes with the raven in the crest. But we will prove to you why Ravenclaw's true symbol is the eagle.
Pull up a stiff-backed chair, have a biscuit, and let us give you the facts.
Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large lettter 'H'" (SS, ch. 3).
This quote from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone shows Harry's first interaction with Hogwarts and describes the animals on its coat of arms. Knowing that the lion is Gryffindor's, the badger is Hufflepuff's, and the snake is Slytherin's crest, the eagle, therefore, is Ravenclaw's symbol.
At last they reached a door. There was no handle and no keyhole: nothing but a plain expanse of aged wood, and a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle" (DH, ch. 29).
I'm Prefect Robert Hilliard, and I'm delighted to welcome you to RAVENCLAW HOUSE. Our emblem is the eagle, which soars where others cannot climb; our house colors are blue and bronze, and our common room is found at the top of Ravenclaw Tower, behind a door with an enchanted [eagle] knocker.
So why did Warner Bros. decide to create a new crest for Ravenclaw?
Not only was the crest's animal changed from eagle to raven, but its colors were changed from blue and bronze to blue and silver as well. Whereas this change could be justified with an argument on how colors work on screen and that there was a good reason to change some of the colors in the film – read: lime-green bowler hat – replacing the animal seems a little absurd.
When thinking about the name "Ravenclaw" a little more, it could also mean "black claws" of a bird, so an eagle with dark talons. The golden eagle, which is native to Eurasia and North America, has dark claws. Its plumage is dark brown, with some gray on the inner wing and tail, and a paler, typically golden color on the back of the crown and nape that gives the species its common name.
Whatever reasons Warner Bros. had for changing the symbol for Ravenclaw we do not know and likely will never will. However, it is likely that they decided a raven would be more fitting due to the name.
There isn't any official statement or comment from J.K. Rowling or Warner Bros. on this.

Outdoor Growing
Perennial Flowers That Bloom From Spring to Fall
By Marie Louise
Many perenials bloom into Fall
Not all perennial flowers bloom for short periods such as from spring to summer or summer to fall. A variety of colorful perennials begin blooming in the spring and continue to bloom into the fall. They bloom over a long period in both the hot southern states as well as in northern states in varied climates.
Desert Marigold
Marigolds are hearty
Hardy desert marigold brightens the landscape from March to November with mounds of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers in full sun to partial shade. It can grow in well-drained, clay, gravelly, loamy, sandy, and dry soil with little to no fertility. Even the hottest temperatures won't wilt this sunny flower. Marigold can withstand temperatures as low as 32 degrees Fahrenheit. It's drought-tolerant and will grow quickly when watered on a regular basis. Desert marigold reaches a height of 1 to 1 1/2 feet and 2 feet wide in its native territory from west Texas to Arizona, southeast California, Utah, Nevada and New Mexico.
Trailing Windmill
perennial trailing windmills prefer sun
Trailing windmill, also called trailing four o'clock, is a sprawling vine reaching up to 10 feet across along the ground. The brown vine is covered with medium green foliage, which is the backdrop for the light lavender to pink-purple flowers blooming from April to October. To the untrained eye, the singular flower is actually a cluster of three flowers combined. Its native range extends from Texas, westward through Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, southeast California, southern Utah, Colorado and Oklahoma. Perennial trailing windmills prefer full sun and sandy to gravel-based soils.
Wholeleaf Indian Paintbrush
Indian paintbrush loves sun,
Wholeleaf Indian paintbrush loves the sun and heat. This hardy ground cover reaches 1/2 inch to a little over 1 foot tall. It has multiple gray stems covered with pale green to white foliage and a flower spike with bright red bracts, which hide the greenish, dark-red tinted flowers. The long-lasting display of blooms begins in March and lasts to September throughout its native territory of Texas, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Leave the plant where it will grow, because transplanting may kill paintbrush, according to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. It grows in gravelly soils in full sun and the roots may seek to leech nutrients from the roots of nearby grasses.
Rose Vervain
lavendar attracts butterflies
Attract butterflies to the landscape with the fragrant clusters of lavender to rose pink flowers of perennial rose vervain. They bloom from February to September at the tips of the stems in a flattened circle. Rose vervain forms dense mats along the ground, reaching up to 2 feet tall. The plant has light green foliage and is covered with long white hairs that spread outward. It flourishes in its native environment stretching from Florida in the south, up the east coast to Pennsylvania over to Michigan and westward to Texas. Vervain adapts to moist or dry soils containing gravel, sand or loamy, acidic soils as long as they're well drained. Plant vervain in full sun to partial shade.

Asian Pacific Filmmakers Experience, Christine Turner, MOTHERLAND, PLASTIC CHINA, Ramona S. Diaz, Sundance Film Festival, Visual Communications
Park City '17: Shit Is About to Get Real
The Sundance Film Festival is hours away from dropping its vaunted Day One offerings in Park City. In the span of five-plus hours, a staggering total of seven feature-length films and one shorts program will open the eight main sections of the Film Festival, introducing audiences to a broad array of cinematic voices from around the globe.
However, this cinematic "orgy in the snow" has already been overshadowed by news of ill portent from Washington DC: in advance of the Presidential Inauguration on Friday, Day 2 of the Film Festival, staffers of the President's transition team have signaled a massive shrinking of the federal budget. Among the multitude of changes designed to reduce federal spending by $10.5 trillion over 10 years: the privatization of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the wholesale elimination of National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. While no further details have been spelled out as the incoming Secretary of the Interior (under whose jurisdiction the NEA, NEH, CPB, as well as the Department of Library Services fall) has yet to be confirmed, these changes are sure to affect the Independent Television Service (ITVS), which is funded in large part by CPB dollars.
I can't imagine that frivolous taglines as "I love dick" (the loaded double-entendre title of an episodic series that is slated to screen during the second half of Sundance Week) could now possibly overshadow this news thunderbolt from the nation's capitol: over the past several years at least, nearly half of all the competition documentaries at Sundance owe their existence in large part to ITVS support, and for just as long, ITVS staffers have enjoyed a pronounced presence in Park City as agents of support and incubation for a whole generation of emerging and "on-the-verge" filmmakers of all backgrounds and nationalities. With the silly pronouncement that the incoming President plans to hold an increased number of military parades to be a "great cheerleader for the country," it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where "wasteful" spending items as arts and culture funding might very well be redirected.
This sense of "misplaced" priorities and the consequences that are bound to visit underserved and "outsider" communities in all aspects of life weigh heavily on my mind as I assess the sobering impact of viewing Wang Jiu-liang's PLASTIC CHINA and Ramona S. Diaz' MOTHERLAND, two minimalist fly-on-the-wall productions that are part of the Sundance World Cinema Documentary Competition. If nothing else, the two serve as a commentary on the "new" globalization of commerce and healthcare, areas in which the underclass are still suffering. As well, both films implicitly condemn the government priorities of the two countries they were produced in — the Peoples Republic of China and the Philippines, respectively (in the case of the PRC, territorial expansion and a growing militarism; and for the Philippines, allegedly misplaced priorities in undoing generations of government corruption, rampant drug trafficking, and extremist Islamic militarism).
PLASTIC CHINA opens in the dark — literally. The director's camera gazes upward as two small children arrange plastic refuse in an effort to build a temporary shelter for the night. The older kid's assurance that the plastic strips shredded from used bags and garbage liners will keep them warm. From this discomfiting opening, we are drawn immediately in to the lives of Kun, the owner of a countryside recycling facility. Kun, his wife and young children are inured to this life as a way to eke out a living, yet Kun sees a way out by saving his money as a means of making a better life for his family — by sending his kids to school, expanding his severely limited skillset and finding a better way of life. For the meantime, there is the recycling plant, a toxic, isolated dump built upon imported plastic from various first-world countries. Kun has among his employees Peng, a journeyman from Sichuan province who himself has a small family and is constantly demanding a raise in pay despite the fact that, as Kun is quick to point out, Peng frequently drinks his savings down in alcohol. Not surprisingly, Peng's daughter Yi-Jie, age 11, also dreams of a life outside of the recycling center. Due to his constant drinking, however, Peng cannot afford schooling for Yi-Jie. Thus, little Yi-Jie finds a kindred spirit of sorts in Kun, even as the working relationship between boss and employee fizzles and dissolves. A visit to a swanky car show, elementary school presentations, and seeing the sights in and around comparatively ultra-modern Beijing serve as a taste of what could be attainable for the two, even as they must negotiate the harsh realities of their current situations. Certainly, PLASTIC CHINA may not be the kind of PRC the current government wants the world to see — they have enough problems stemming the negative fallout over last year's Sundance sensation HOOLIGAN SPARROW by Nanfu Wang. Yet in an age in which the world order is undergoing seismic shifts, the social and economic situations foregrounded by the likes of director Wang are likely to hang around and haunt us for a long time.
Taking place within the walls of an overcrowded maternity hospital (reputed to be the world's busiest), MOTHERLAND is an unflinching portrait into the lives of dedicated but underfunded, understaffed, and under-equipped health-care providers as their jobs straddle the uneasy alliance between medical experts and social workers. Indeed, as the film's epilogue makes soberingly clear, the Philippines is the most populated country in all of Southeast Asia, with over 100 million and counting. What kind of world will the children who are born here face? And will they have the opportunities their parents undoubtedly do not? Shot with a fluid, vérité, camera courtesy of veteran cinematographer Clarissa de los Reyes, the shock of watching MOTHERLAND comes from observing the mundane lives and attitudes of the many clients that the doctors and nurses care for. Many of the mothers depicted in the film have absentee husbands or boyfriends. Other clients have been coerced by their own mothers or husbands into refusing even the most affordable methods of birth control. And others still have come to deliver their fifth, sixth, or even seventh child. Anyone acquainted with the decade-long trend of vérité-styled "poverty-porn" that has distinguished, for better or for worse, the Philippines' resurgence onto the world cinema stage as a film festival "fetish" can certainly understand the places where MOTHERLAND takes its cues. In fact, the noted Filipino director Brilliante Mendoza, arguably the "godfather" of this style of filmmaking, serves as executive producer on this project, which seems to confer a sense of "legitimacy" to the film's visual style and structure. In a word, as far as a traditional storytelling arc is concerned, MOTHERLAND seems to have no beginning, no middle, and certainly no end. The steady, mind-numbing stream of clients, deliveries, referrals, delivery room dramas, and tumult mimic the life outside the walls — an uncertain world made even more hazardous since the election of Davao mayor Rodrigo Duterte as the Philippines' "law-and-order" President. Those distractions aren't even on the plate in director Diaz' new film. Instead, the squalid conditions of the maternity hospital foreground the community of women — healthworkers and clients alike — who bring MOTHERLAND to vital, chaotic life.
Somewhere among the forest of feature-length films at this year's Park City film festivals are compelling short subjects that open a window on worls we don't often see. One of the better ones is biracial African American/Chinese American Christine Turner's equally minimalist, yet intimate HOLD ON, in which Troy, a petulant twenty-something, is stuck with caring for his grandmother. An embarrassing accident, a slip-and-fall, and Troy is compelled to make the inevitable passage from diffident b-boy to devoted caretaker. Just as spare in its own storytelling as PLASTIC CHINA and MOTHERLAND, HOLD ON is incisive, yet no less compelling and touching.
And on that note, I head off to Day One, the Final Day of the Obama Experiment. What will the next twenty-four hours hold? Stay tuned, I'm about to find out…

Professor Writes Book About President George H.W. Bush
Dr. Wesley Borucki, associate professor of history at Palm Beach Atlantic University, is the author of a new book about America's 41st president.
George H.W. Bush: In Defense of Principle is a volume in the First Men, America's Presidents series by Nova Science Publishers. Barbara Bennett Peterson is the series editor.
Dr. Borucki began researching the book about President Bush, the father of President George W. Bush, in 2008. He received grants from the O'Donnell Grant Program at Texas A&M University and Palm Beach Atlantic University's Quality Initiative Grant Program to cover his travel to the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum. The library is located on the campus of Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.
In researching the archives, Dr. Borucki said he was able to examine materials from the years leading up to Bush's presidency, including documents from his time with the Central Intelligence Agency and his chairmanship of the Republican National Committee during the Watergate scandal.
"It was interesting to see how he interacted with the general public in the high offices he held," Dr. Borucki said.
Dr. Borucki said he also examined the Bush family's legacy of public service and the loyalty President Bush demonstrated toward his friends, including former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
This book is Dr. Borucki's first. He received his bachelor's degree in history from Michigan State University, his master's degree in U.S. history from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and his doctorate in U.S. history from the University of Alabama, where he edited the journal Southern Historian from 1998 to 1999.
He has taught at PBA since 2003 and is part of the faculty in the University's Supper Honors program.
George H.W. Bush: In Defense of Principle is available through the publisher's web site, as well as BooksaMillion.com and Amazon.com.

At The Instinctive Advantage, our work is based on conation, which is your gut response (your instinct). It's your default setting — how you take action even when you're not aware of it. Employees will reach optimum levels of productivity when working in their "instinctive mode" — that is, in a way that's consistent with their natural, intuitive responses. When teams understand how each member instinctively takes action, they are able to work together to unleash true synergy.
Sometimes it just takes some understanding, development, and the right instincts to create team synergy.
Other times it requires a more in depth evaluation of time management, stress reduction, and problem solving.
Either way, how you hire and on-board your employees plays a crucial role in how you retain and develop your teams.

Chicago, home to baseball, blues and culture, is one of America's largest and most modern metropolis cities. It also comes with some cracking restaurants and bars! Read our expert guide to the best places to eat and drink in Chicago (including the best steakhouses).
Vibrant colourful small plates with a Mediterranean twist make up the eclectic menu at Ema. This light and airy neighbourhood restaurant is dedicated to cooking California-style so local veg are a highlight and there are plenty of non-meat options.
The inventive dishes include tarted up hummus with toppings of fresno chillies or spicy harissa lamb served with puffy homemade pita; roasted romanesque cauli with homemade yoghurt and local honey and grilled octopus with fried kale, fingerling potatoes and preserved lemon vinaigrette.
Portions are a bit more delicate than your regular US size so there is scope to try quite a lot of the menu. The wine list includes bottles from coastal Med as well as California.
This small batch brewery in the Chicago South loop is owned by two Chicago South-siders whose aim was to provide a friendly, diverse, inclusive space (it's both dog- and baby-friendly) for the neighbourhood.
There's no food on offer but you are encouraged to order in from local restaurants (ask the barman for recommendations). The beer selection is seasonal and, as everything is brewed in small batches, it can change month to month. We loved the Coconut Porter – a dark, chocolatey beer with a subtle creamy coconut accent.
Hand-crafted coffee and bikes go hand in hand at this friendly Lakeview neighbourhood coffee/bike shop. There are beautiful vintage-inspired bikes which are built on site and can be customised to order.
The coffee shop is a high-ceilinged open space with reclaimed timber tables and homemade chandeliers. Have an expertly made cortado and one of the best cinnamon buns we've ever tasted from local West Town Bakery. You can even grab a growler (four pints) of cold brew coffee to go.
Owner Sandra started Floriole as a pop-up at Chicago's famous Green City Market just selling two or three pastries each week from a put-up table. Now it's permanent, Lincoln Park, home is a must-visit for brunch.
As well as the beautiful patisserie – we tried the kouign amman and the delicate passionfruit tart – there are savoury offerings of pretty tartines topped with trout and pickles and some killer sandwiches – try the turkey, avo and bacon club on delicately toasted brioche with roast tomato aioli.
Pizzas here are served with four bases – white, red, BBQ or New Haven (that's tomato sauce and no mozzarella – but extra olive oil and parmesan) and come in three sizes. After choosing your base you then add whichever toppings you fancy.
The pizzas are designed to share and they are HUGE (three of us ordered two mediums and we couldn't finish them). The large open space is made up of large communal benches and has a beer hall/sports bar-type atmosphere with screens showing local basketball and baseball games lining the walls.
Craft beers are brewed on site and there are usually seven on tap at one time – try the Astronaut Haus, a citrusy American Pale Ale. Famous fans include Antony Bourdain and Dave Grohl so keep your eyes peeled.
In early American brewing aromatics and botanicals like ginger, dandelion and burdock were in common use. Forbidden Root used this as a jumping off point for their brewing adventures so each beer brewed on the site has layers of subtle flavour.
Try Money on my Rind with notes of grapefruit and juniper in a wheat beer or WPA which takes wildflowers such as elderflower and marigold as a base for a pale ale. The bar area is built on the site of an old theatre so the space has quite a dramatic feel to it.
The food is as inventive and flavour-packed as the booze – bar snacks include Korean chilli popcorn, 'nduja sausage with pickled mustard seeds and honey and home-made beer cheese spread. Small plates to share include malted lamb ribs with tamarind glaze and sesame and mussels with Wildflower Pale Ale.
For a sugar rush with a twist visit Katherine Anne Confections in the trendy Logan Square neighbourhood. Chocolate truffle flavours change with the seasons but expect unusual flavours like goats cheese and walnut or basil. The caramels are also really popular (we tried the unlikely but lovely combination of rosemary and sea salt).
Get your goodies to go or sit in the small, pretty shopfront and have a cup of their famous hot chocolate. The rich molten liquid is made only using melted chocolate, milk and cream and topped with gooey marshmallows or whipped cream. If you can't decide between the different flavours you can order a flight of three mini cups and try varieties like salted caramel and Mexican and chai.
If you fancy a bit of the hard stuff visit the Chicago Distilling Company for a tasting. The small-batch whisky, bourbon, gin and vodka is produced on-site by descendants of original Midwest moonshiners.
You can buy a bottle to take away or just work your way through the spirits section in the buzzy bar. There are also regular tours/tastings with the owners to guide you through the art of brewing your own.
Chicago is famous for its steak joints and Swift and Sons is one of the swankier offerings. This huge dining space is in the former meatpacking district and has a grand gentleman's club feel to it – think curved leather booths, warm wood and shiny brass fittings – the sort of place you'd expect to find Don Draper of Mad Men nursing an Old Fashioned. The lighting is cosy enough to make the space feel more intimate though.
The menu is a surf and turf dream with spankingly fresh oysters, shrimp, king crab and lobster to order individually or on groaning platters. Steak is the real star here, though, and you're guaranteed a perfectly cooked strip, rib eye or porterhouse. It's not cheap but portion sizes are pretty hefty (the New York Strip is a whopping 16oz/450g) so split a steak with a couple of sides such as the crispy brussels sprouts with soy and lime or the spiced cauli gratin with parmesan.
Sauces come on the side – try the umami-rich oxtail marmalade. The travelling cocktail cart is definitely worth trying – have your Martini mixed table-side and get a little history lesson on the drink thrown in.

T-Mobile prepares to take these phones off its network on January 29th
Doesn't seem like many people would be affected by this change.
Update, January 12, (7:30 pm ET): T-Mobile publishes support page for customers potentially affected by the network change.
T-Mobile is expected to begin informing subscribers that their devices will no longer be supported on its network.
The devices in question are fairly old, with the latest model being from 2016.
Support will apparently end on January 29th, 2021.
T-Mobile is making a shocking move by ending support for nearly 20 devices early next year. Or, at least it would be shocking if the devices were any more recent than 2016. According to leaked internal documents obtained by Android Police, T-Mobile plans to inform subscribers of the change soon, as the following devices will be cut off from the network on January 29th:
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (AT&T model)
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Verizon model)
Mikrotikls SIA_R11e-LTE6
Netgear Arlo Security Camera System
Quanta Dragon IR7
Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos
Sony Xperia Z3 Orion
Sony D6616 Xperia Z3 Orion
Soyea M02
ZTE ZMax
The list consists of devices that have been identified by T-Mobile, so more could be affected. MikroTik modem and Netgear Arlo system are curious additions to the list, and the latest device on here seems to be the Huawei P9 which launched in December 2016. In tech years, that's fairly dated and with network upgrades and loss of software support from the manufacturers, it's no wonder why T-Mobile decided to pull the plug.
According to Android Police, T-Mobile reached out and stated that the move is due to a planned network update and not related to the new VoLTE requirement that the company is placing on phones starting next month, although the timing is suspect.
As Magenta continues to improve it's 5G network, it has to refarm a lot of its frequencies from its older 3G network to increase capacity for LTE, which the company is using to handle much of its voice traffic.
T-Mobile apparently has been informing customers via mail since the 18th and is expected to start sending texts to subscribers using these devices as soon as the 28th. Magenta is also expected to offer certain deals for these affected customers to help them switch to newer smartphones.
In case you happen to still be utilizing one of the smartphones affected by this change, you can check out some of the best T-Mobile phones, as Magenta offers a wide range of prices and great deals.
Update, January 12 (7:30 pm ET) ― T-Mobile has published a support page for affected customers
Android Police has pointed out that T-Mobile support published a page warning users of the network change and cutoff date. According to T-Mobile, the change also affects T-Mobile's prepaid customers as well as those on Metro by T-Mobile.
If you are currently using one of the devices listed below, please contact your Team of Experts or go into a T-Mobile Retail store to upgrade your device before January 29, 2021. T-Mobile has some exciting new offers that will be available for some impacted customers.
Meanwile the device list remains unchanged from what was posted last month. T-Mobile notes that owners of the Arlo security camera system may not have to replace their devices as the companies are working together on a solution.

Messi blasts Barca's childish mistakes in Supercopa defeat
Nicol: Atletico played like a mid-table nonsense team vs. Barca (1:39)
Steve Nicol says although Atletico got the 3-2 win over Barcelona, they shouldn't be happy with their display. (1:39)
Barcelona captain Lionel Messi cursed his side's careless errors in their 3-2 defeat by Atletico Madrid on Thursday as they crashed out of the revamped Spanish Supercopa in Saudi Arabia.
The Spanish champions, who had two goals ruled out in the second half after VAR reviews, dominated the match and were leading 2-1 with 10 minutes left thanks to goals from Messi and Antoine Griezmann.
- When does the transfer window reopen?
But it was Atletico who booked their place in Sunday's final against Real Madrid, levelling thanks to a penalty from Alvaro Morata before Angel Correa struck the winner after Griezmann gave away possession.
"We need to try and continue playing as well as we did today for the rest of the year but make sure we don't make the childish errors we made today," Messi told reporters.
Barca squander 8/10 gem from Messi in Supercopa loss
Barca in Saudi Arabia for the money - Valverde
What's wrong with Messi right now?
"We controlled the game for around 80 minutes, we played at a high pace, we attacked all the time and created lots of chances. But in the last 10 minutes we made big and we let a game slip which we had under control."
The defeat continued a poor start to the new year by the league leaders, who were held to a 2-2 draw at struggling Espanyol last week which left them level on points with second-placed Real.
That result led to further criticism of coach Ernesto Valverde, although Messi said the team backed their manager.
"We still have confidence in him and we will work hard so we can improve, but it's normal that there is discontent when there's a defeat and people feel the team is not playing as they would like," Messi added.
"We have to be more united than ever, be a strong group and move forward. We are top of La Liga but we have not been playing well recently so we are going to try and recover our best play so we can stay at the top."


My in call volume is very low at max volume. It get worse after oreo update. Someone else have this problem ? Is there something to do with this problem ?
I have the same problem with Nokia 6. After first Oreo update, the volume in call is incredible low. If i'm outside with some background noise, i can't hear anything. I understand that the default value for maxim volume is now set lower than before. I hope that the next update will fix this problem.

JUST OVER 736 Nama properties have been transferred to local authorities for social housing in the last two years – just 13% of the stock identified by the agency itself as suitable.
Replying to a parliamentary question by Fianna Fáil's Barry Cowen, the Minister for Environment Alan Kelly confirmed that out of 5,294 units identified by Nama as suitable for local authority social housing, just 13% has been delivered.
This comes two and half years after the Government promised 2,000 units would be transferred. That would have represented a transfer rate of 36%.
Dublin City Council is facing the biggest problem in the country when it comes to social housing demand. Just over 790 units were identified by Nama for transfer to the local authority to help address this problem.
The council confirmed the city's demand is for at least 388 units. However, to date, just 171 unit transfers have been completed.
Cork City Council has said their demand is 95 units and they have received just 53 units, despite 419 properties being identified as suitable.
Although every county has demand for social housing stock, twelve have not had any units transferred to the local authorities.
Louth is the only county to have all units identified transferred over to the council for social housing purposes.
Figures released from the Department of the Environment show that there are just under 90,000 people on the social housing waiting list nationwide.
Cowen was critical of Nama sitting on the units stating that the delay in transferring much needed housing units is "leading to longer waiting lists and more frustration for families that have nowhere to call home. This is very disappointing to say the least".
He called on the Government to "accelerate" the process due to the high numbers of people on the social housing list.
"Special teams should be set up across local authorities to ensure this process starts to bear fruit for families stuck on the social housing lists, some for over 10 years," he added.
"The homes are available for transfer and should be put to good use in providing much needed accommodation for families in need," he concluded.

YouTube killed the MTV star
As a youngster, I saw the dominance of music videos and the all powerful MTV make new bands into sensations. The internet has now brought us a totally different method of finding new bands rather than being fed the product that the record labels wanted us to see and purchase.
We can see through the thinly veiled marketing ploys and manufactured pop stars. We want more but we also want something different to what is being shoved into our ears and eyes via the main stream radio and television channels. Look at the old album exchange which brought about the rise of Metallica, swapping cassettes of your latest favourite band so others could hear them too. These days it is a case of shooting someone a link to a YouTube video, or a Last.fm track, or just sharing a few of your favourites through a playlist on iTunes, which can spread the word faster than you can say Arctic Monkeys.
Will we see the death of manufactured pop and its terrible high rotation to get sales? No. It is the model that the major labels use so we won't see them switch until the general public stop listening to the radio and stop watching the music television channels. So you can expect to see plenty more of the Avril Lavigne 'sk8r boi' method, where you get the same song three times an hour throughout the working day. This method always runs the risk of making the listener so sick of the song they are happy when the next one is taken into high rotation (I used to work with a designer who would turn off the office radio for the length of the song and then turn it back on afterwards he hated the song so much. We counted, it was played more than 17 times in a day, as that was how many times we heard it come on).
When the iPod first hit, as a designer I was worried about the death of the album cover (as the iPod didn't show anything other than the name of the song/album/band). These days the cover itself is the most important sales point so people can spot it in Cover Flow or on one of the many sites selling MP3s. True, we don't need the inserts or back cover track listing, but the need for graphics is just as great as before. Nowadays you need to have a video for your song so that people can share it and get people following you so that they are notified when new videos come out so they can go and buy the new single or album as soon as it hits the internet.
I, for one, used to spend a good portion of my pay cheque on albums, especially as I was buying expensive import-only albums (living in a different country to the bands can sometimes mean there is no distribution deal for their albums to hit your country so you end up paying a premium to get the album shipped to you). These days, of course, I can download full albums for the same price as everyone else through the digital stores, and just the good songs off an album. I used to hate the three or four filler songs on an otherwise great album, or worse a compilation album by a band with one new track on the album trying to force you to buy the whole album for the one new song (I am looking at you Bon Jovi on that one). Sure, the money you pay for the song is a lot less, but with no CD manufacturing, no printing and shipping, the cost of the album should be peanuts if it is only going to be digital. The band still gets pretty much the same as they used to. Which generally runs around 50c to $1 for a full album. Which is why you will find bands offering the music on their own websites for a similar price as iTunes, but they get the bulk of that sale (if they are independent). I am now switching to try and purchase my music from the bands direct.
The music is still the same, but the method we find it, listen to it and watch it has changed forever. Choice is a good thing, I'm not saying generated pop bands through marketing machines like idol is the end of the world, I'm just glad that YouTube is killing the old MTV method of creating a star through high rotation.

View Full Version : A Good Loss?
I'd rather have this loss to a decent team then our last two.
We actually tried which is a nice change of pace; we kept it close and got beat by a pseudo circus shot buzzer beater - Thats an OK loss to me.
No I dont think the rotation is good with any continuity at all, no I dont think we have any real offensive threats, no I cant understand why no one with some clout makes a bigger deal about the deplorable WCC officiating but hey this was a better loss than WSU, LMU, SFU... Hope now lies in someone else knocking off St. Mary's in the Conference Tourney.
Dont look to next year. BYU's impact is going to be HUGE and no matter how good the recruits are, they will be freshmen. I for one lately am not too worried over the loss of our one senior at the end of this year. We dont have a Morrison, Ravio, Steppe, Bouldin/Daye (to some extent), steady hand shooter anymore. Im hoping for good things for the 2nd half of conference play.
Pretty sure you meant St. Mary's, not St. Maries (the little town in Idaho where I live).


in the January/February 2003 issue of Time-Compression Technologies magazine.
When comparing the merits of rapid prototyping (RP) and CNC machining, opinions abound. RP and CNC machining both have staunch supporters that tout the benefits of their preferred technology. However, those who are familiar with both technologies generally agree that each has its own merits.
In the past 15 years, prototype development has changed significantly. In the early days, most RP technologies offered an obvious speed advantage, but were limited by accuracy and material property issues. Since the launch of RP, CNC has advanced, in part due to the competitive threat, to become faster while offering many well-known benefits. Likewise, RP has improved in areas such as accuracy, material properties and surface finish. As the technologies come closer in capabilities, the selection process becomes increasingly difficult.
Today, knowledge of both technologies is important for the selection of the right tool for the job. The following guidelines will aid in the selection process.
Material development has come a long way. A broader range of materials and material properties are available. These now include metals, plastics, ceramics and composites. Yet, the selection is still very limited. And in most cases, properties do not exactly match those of machinable, moldable or castable materials.
Machining centers are capable of milling nearly every material imaginable.
Although commercially available units may not be able to handle an instrument panel or bumper, the available build envelopes are suitable for the majority of consumer and industrial products. Should a part be too large for the system, it can be constructed in sections and glued. An important consideration is the impact of size on time. Larger parts take longer to build.
From small desktop units to large gantry systems, CNC machining can fabricate parts and molds of virtually any size. Practically speaking, size is only limited by the capacity of the available machine tools.
If a prototype can be modeled with design software, it is possible to build it with little impact on time or cost. The ability to quickly and cost effectively produce complex parts is one of RP's biggest benefits.
CNC machining must deal with every feature in a part, and this can add time and cost. As the complexity of the part rises, so do the number of setups and tool changes. High aspect ratio features, deep slots and holes and square corners can challenge the most expensive CNC milling machine. While a five-axis mill and some ingenuity can overcome challenging features, something as simple as an undercut can produce problems.
There are situations in which RP can produce features that CNC cannot. For example, RP can produce sharp inside corners and features with high aspect ratios, such as deep, narrow channels or tall, thin walls, ribs and posts.
For many features, CNC has the advantage over RP. Sharp edges, smooth blends and clean chamfers are among the details where CNC excels. This is especially true when evaluating detail in terms of accuracy and surface finish.
While it is possible to achieve dimensional accuracy better than 0.005 inch (0.125 mm) on individual dimensions, 0.005 to 0.030 inch (0.125 to 0.75 mm) is the typical range of deviation. Accuracy is a function of the RP system and the size of the dimension. As a dimension increases, so does the inaccuracy.
With the right equipment, it is possible to machine at high precision. While CNC in general is more accurate than RP, precision is usually related to the cost of the machine.
Build any part on two different days and the results may vary. RP is sensitive to many factors that affect the quality of the prototype. Temperature, humidity, orientation and placement are just a few of the parameters that can affect the repeatability of the output.
CNC is much more repeatable than RP. If the toolpath, tool and materials are unchanged, the output is highly repeatable. Note, however, that environmental conditions and the human factor can affect results. Temperature and humidity, for some materials, can alter the outcome as can the accuracy of the machinist's setup.
Without any secondary operations, some, if not all, surfaces will be rough. While RP has progressed to layer thicknesses of 0.0005 to 0.001 inch (0.0125 to 0.025 mm) for some technologies, the layer striations and stairstepping still affect surface finish. If desired, secondary operations can improve the smoothness to any level, but this can alter the dimensional accuracy of the part. Also, these operations can add time and cost to the project.
Unlike RP, machining can produce surface finishes suitable for prototypes, patterns and tooling. As with RP, secondary operations (sanding, polishing) can further improve the surface finish, but they may adversely affect accuracy, time and cost.
For most technologies, reliability increases as the product matures. The age of RP technologies ranges from one to 15 years, which means that one can expect varying degrees of reliability. With less time and fewer resources, some of the RP manufacturers have not had sufficient time to refine the components of the systems to improve reliability.
With more than 30 years of research and development, CNC is a mature technology that is dependable and reliable. Over the years, continuous improvement has eliminated system elements that diminish reliability.
With the exception of secondary operations (benching), RP requires little labor. Within a few minutes, it is possible to prepare files for part production and start the build. During the build, there is little or no operator attendance.
CAM software applications have improved, but in most cases, they have not eliminated the need for human intervention. Machine setup and operation require an experienced machinist and it is rare that prototypes are made in a lights-out mode.
The technology is certainly not a minimum wage position, but when compared to machining, the demand for highly skilled talent is much less. This is true in part because less labor is required. Additionally, RP has improved in ways that take the art out of the process.
Machining takes skill, creativity and problem-solving abilities. From designing toolpaths and machining strategies to operating and monitoring the cutting, machining is the work of experienced craftsmen. With organizations getting leaner and the availability of machinists declining, there could be a lack of available resources for prototyping work.
With less labor, fewer steps and an insensitivity to design complexity, RP reduces leadtimes not only for the physical build, but also for the entire process. Overall, the RP process is more efficient in both time and labor. With RP, data can be received at 4:30 p.m. and parts delivered the next morning; unthinkable for CNC machining unless there is more than one shift. Yet, this does not mean that RP is the fastest for all parts.
A lot goes into machining. Labor, toolpaths, fixturing, machine time and materials are required. The result is that many jobs will take longer than those done in RP. However, CNC can be faster when the design is simple and straightforward, and when high spindle speeds and feedrates are an option.
Practically speaking, the selection of the best technology may come down to machine time availability. Often, a looming deadline will override any accuracy or material property requirements. This, in turn, reveals the true measure of what is important to the prototyping application.
So, what is important to that next prototype - time, quality or cost? Balancing these factors requires a thorough knowledge of both RP and CNC. With it, informed decisions - not biased opinions - can be made for the selection of the best technology for the application.

Q: Measuring Java execution time, memory usage and CPU load for a code segment For a particular segment of Java code, I'd like to measure:

*

*Execution time (most likely thread execution time)

*Memory usage

*CPU load (specifically attributable to the code segment)
I'm a relative Java novice and am not familiar with how this might be achieved. I've been referred to JMX, however I'm not sure how that might be used, and JMX looks a bit 'heavy' for what I'm looking to do.
Ideally I'd like some measurement class that can be told what I would like to measure, with the option of calling a start() method prior to a code segment and a stop() method after. Relevant metrics would be logged to a file I specify.
For example:
import com.example.metricLogger;

metricLogger logger = new metricLogger();

logger.setLogPath(pathToLogFile);
logger.monitor(executionTime);
logger.monitor(memoryUsage);
logger.monitor(cpuLoad);

logger.start();

/* Code to be measured */

logger.stop();

Is there any standard/common/conventional way of achieving this in Java?
Such measurements are for one-off performance comparisons, and so I'm not looking for any in-production long-term monitoring processes.
I'm more than happy to be referred to tutorials or external examples and don't expect a full answer here. That said, if anything as simple as the above can be achieved a realistic example would go down really well.

A: With the ThreadMXBean you can get CPU usage of individual threads and cpu time consumed rather than elapse time which may be useful.
However, its often simpler to use a profiler as this process often generates a lot of data and you need a good visualisation tool to see what is going on.
I use Yourkit as I find it easier to solve problems that other profilers I have used.
I also use the builtin hprof as this can give you a different view on the profile of your application (but not as useful)

A: Profiling may be an easier option since you don't require in-production stats. Profiling also doesn't require code modification. VisualVM (which ships w/ the JDK 1.6.06+) is a simple tool. If you want something more in-depth I'd go with Eclipse TPTP, Netbeans profiler, or JProfiler(pay).
If you want to write you own, consider the following:
Simple measurments like execution time can be done by "clocking" the section you're interested in:
long start = System.nanoTime(); // requires java 1.5
// Segment to monitor
double elapsedTimeInSec = (System.nanoTime() - start) * 1.0e-9;

You can use a similar technique to monitor memory via Runtime.getRuntime().*memory() methods. Keep in mind that tracking memory usage in a garbage collected environment is trickier than simple subtraction.
CPU load is hard to measure in Java, I typically stick with execution time and optimize the longer / repetitive sections

A: Using a Java Profiler is the best option and it will give you all the insight that you need into the code. viz Response Times, Thread CallTraces, Memory Utilisations, etc
I will suggest you JENSOR, an open source Java Profiler, for its ease-of-use and low overheads on CPU. You can download it, instrument the code and will get all the info you need about your code.
You can download it from: http://jensor.sourceforge.net/

A: We can measure the cpu and memory used during a specific invoked method by collecting the cpu and memory metrics during its execution.
Of course if other concurrent threads for other methods consumes memory and cpu during its execution, you are stuck.   So it is a valid approach while you are able to execute a method in a isolated way.
For the CPU you can get its current value :
OperatingSystemMXBean osBean = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMXBean(
            OperatingSystemMXBean.class);
double processCpuLoad = osBean.getProcessCpuLoad();

For the memory you can do that :
MemoryMXBean memoryMXBean = ManagementFactory.getMemoryMXBean();
int currentHeapUsedInMo = (int) (memoryMXBean.getHeapMemoryUsage().getUsed() / 1_000_000);

About the memory measure, waiting for a major collect before executing the method improves its reliability.
For example something like that may help :
import com.google.common.testing.GcFinalization;

GcFinalization.awaitFullGc();
foo.execute(); // method to execute

GcFinalization comes from the Guava test library.
All that has few overheads. So the idea is collecting metrics (for example each second) for each invoked method you want to monitor and when the method returned, compute the max/average or any useful information for them.
I would favor AOP to do that.
Spring AOP is a simple and good way to create aspects and set pointcuts for them  but you can also do it with AspectJ if you need some particular things in terms of AOP features.

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) today announced the availability of data on mortgage lending transactions at 5,683 U.S. financial institutions covered by the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). Covered institutions include banks, savings associations, credit unions, and mortgage companies. Released today are loan-level HMDA data covering 2018 lending activity that were submitted on or before August 7, 2019.
The data include a total of 48 data points providing information about the applicants, the property securing the loan or proposed to secure the loan in the case of non-originated applications, the transaction, and identifiers. Many of the data points are available for the first time in the 2018 HMDA data. A complete list of HMDA data points and the associated data fields is found in Appendix A of the FFIEC's Filing Instructions Guide for HMDA Data Collected in 2018.1 Certain smaller-volume financial institutions are not required to report all of these data, pursuant to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA).2
The HMDA loan-level data available to the public will be updated, on an ongoing basis, to reflect late submissions and resubmissions. Accordingly, loan-level data downloaded from https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/ (opens new window) at a later date will include any such updated data. An August 7, 2019 static dataset used to develop the observations in this statement about the 2018 HMDA data is available here https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-publication/ (opens new window). In addition, beginning in late March 2019, Loan/Application Registers (LARs) for each HMDA filer of 2018 data, modified to protect borrower privacy, became available at https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/data-publication/ (opens new window).
The 2018 HMDA data use the census tract delineations, population, and housing characteristic data from the 2011–2015 American Community Survey (ACS). In addition, the data reflect metropolitan statistical area (MSA) definitions released by the Office of Management and Budget in 2017 that became effective for HMDA purposes in 2018.
Caution should be used when comparing HMDA data across multiple years due to changes in HMDA definitions, values, and thresholds. Also, caution is required for certain geographic areas due to the changes in MSA and census tract boundaries and updates to the population and housing characteristics of census tracts, especially those that follow the decennial census and five-year updates based on the ACS data.
https://www.ffiec.gov/PDF/fairlend.pdf (opens new window).
HMDA data alone cannot be used to determine whether a lender is complying with fair lending laws. The data do not include some legitimate credit risk considerations for loan approval and loan pricing decisions. Therefore, when regulators conduct fair lending examinations, they analyze additional information before reaching a determination about an institution's compliance with fair lending laws.
Observations from the 2018 Data3
For 2018, the number of reporting institutions declined by about 2.9 percent from the previous year to 5,683. The 2018 data include information on 12.9 million home loan applications. Among them, 10.3 million were closed-end, 2.3 million were open-end, and, for another 378,000 records, pursuant to the EGRRCPA's partial exemptions, financial institutions did not indicate whether the records were closed-end or open-end. A total of 7.7 million applications resulted in loan originations. Among them, 6.3 million were closed-end mortgage originations, 1.1 million were open-end line of credit originations, and, pursuant to the EGRRCPA's partial exemptions, 283,000 were originations for which financial institutions did not indicate whether they were closed-end or open-end. The 2018 data include 2.0 million purchased loans, for a total of 15.1 million records. The data also include information on approximately 177,000 requests for preapprovals for home purchase loans.4
The total number of originated loans decreased by about 924,000 between 2017 and 2018, or 12.6 percent. Refinance originations decreased by 23.1 percent from 2.5 million, and home purchase lending increased by 0.3 percent from 4.3 million.
A total of 2,251 reporters made use of the EGRRCPA's partial exemptions for at least one of the 26 data points eligible for the exemptions. In all, they account for about 425,000 records and 298,000 originations.
From 2017 to 2018, the share of home purchase loans for first lien, 1-4 family, site-built, owner-occupied properties (1-4 family, owner-occupied properties) made to low- and moderate-income borrowers (those with income of less than 80 percent of area median income) rose slightly from 26.3 percent to 28.1 percent, and the share of refinance loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers for 1-4 family, owner-occupied properties increased from 22.9 percent to 30.0 percent.5
In terms of borrower race and ethnicity, the share of home purchase loans for 1-4 family, owner-occupied properties made to Black borrowers rose from 6.4 percent in 2017 to 6.7 percent in 2018, the share made to Hispanic-White borrowers increased slightly from 8.8 percent to 8.9 percent, and those made to Asian borrowers rose from 5.8 percent to 5.9 percent. From 2017 to 2018, the share of refinance loans for 1-4 family, owner-occupied properties made to Black borrowers increased from 5.9 percent to 6.2 percent, the share made to Hispanic-White borrowers remained unchanged at 6.8 percent, and the share made to Asian borrowers fell from 4.0 percent to 3.7 percent.
In 2018, Black and Hispanic-White applicants experienced higher denial rates for 1-4 family, owner-occupied conventional home purchase loans than non-Hispanic-White applicants. The denial rate for Asian applicants is more comparable to the denial rate for non-Hispanic-White applicants. These relationships are similar to those found in earlier years and, due to the limitations of the HMDA data mentioned above, cannot take into account all legitimate credit risk considerations for loan approval and loan pricing.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-insured share of first-lien home purchase loans for 1-4 family, owner-occupied properties declined from 22.0 percent in 2017 to 19.3 percent in 2018. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)-guaranteed share of such loans remained at approximately 10 percent in 2018. The overall government-backed share of such purchase loans, including FHA, VA, Rural Housing Service, and Farm Service Agency loans, was 32.0 percent in 2018, down slightly from 35.4 percent in 2017.
The FHA-insured share of refinance mortgages for 1-4 family, owner-occupied properties decreased slightly to 12.8 percent in 2018 from 13.0 percent in 2017, while the VA-guaranteed share of such refinance loans decreased from 11.3 percent in 2017 to 10.2 percent in 2018.
The share of mortgages originated by nondepository, independent mortgage companies has increased in recent years. In 2018, this group of lenders accounted for 57.2 percent of 1-4 family, owner-occupied home-purchase loans, up from 56.1 percent in 2017. Independent mortgage companies also originated 56.1 percent of 1-4 family, owner-occupied refinance loans, an increase from 55.8 percent in 2017.
The HMDA data also identify loans that are covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA). Under HOEPA, certain types of mortgage loans that have interest rates or total points and fees above specified levels are subject to certain requirements, such as additional disclosures to consumers, and also are subject to various restrictions on loan terms. For 2018, 6,681 loan originations covered by HOEPA were reported: 3,654 home purchase loans for 1-4 family properties; 448 home improvement loans for 1-4 family properties; and 2,579 refinance loans for 1-4 family properties.
The 2018 HMDA data contains a variety of information reported for the first time. For example, the data indicated that approximately 424,000 applications were for commercial purpose loans and approximately 57,000 applications were for reverse mortgages.
In addition, among the 12.9 million applications reported, 1.3 million included at least one disaggregate racial or ethnic category. The two most commonly reported disaggregate groups were Mexican and Other Hispanic, which were reported by 3.0 percent and 1.5 percent of applicants, respectively. For approximately 6.3 percent of applications, race and ethnicity of the applicant were collected on the basis of visual observation or surname.6 The percentage was slightly higher for sex at 6.5 percent.
For the newly-reported age data point, the two most commonly reported age groups for applicants were 35-44 and 45-54, with 22.7 and 22.4 percent of total applications, respectively. Just under 3.0 percent of applicants were under 25 and just under 4.0 percent of applicants were over 74.
Credit score information was reported for 73.1 percent of all applications. Equifax Beacon 5.0, Experian Fair Isaac, and FICO Risk Score Classic 04 were the three most commonly reported credit scoring models at 22.8 percent, 18.8 percent and 18.2 percent of total applications, respectively. For originated loans, the median primary applicant scores for these three models were between 738 and 746. This compares to medians ranging from 682 to 686 for denied applications.
Combined loan-to-value ratio (CLTV) was reported for 74.3 percent of total applications. For originations of closed-end, conventional home purchase loans, the median CLTV was 80, with 46.2 percent of originations over 80.0. For originations of closed-end, FHA-insured home purchase loans, the median CLTV was 96.5, with 24.9 percent over 96.5.
Debt-to-income ratio (DTI) was reported for 75.3 percent of total applications. Approximately 45.1 percent of applications had DTIs between 36.0 percent and 50 percent, with 7.0 percent of applications with less than 20 percent, and 7.1 percent with greater than 60 percent.
The 2018 HMDA also contains additional pricing information. For example, the median total loan costs for originated closed-end loans was $3,949. For about 42.5 percent of originated closed-end loans, borrowers paid no discount points and received no lender credits. The median interest rate for these originated loans was 4.8 percent. The median interest rate for originated open-end lines of credit excluding reverse mortgages was 5.0 percent.

Oliver's been through more than most 2-year-old children. As an infant, doctors told his parents he wouldn't live long after he suffered brain damage due to a heart problem. He's nonverbal and immobile but defying the odds. "We had no idea what was going to happen, so we've lived every day from that point on as it could be the last.

In 1923, J. M. (Menton) Replogle graduated from the Gupton-Jones School of Embalming in Nashville, TN. Two years later, Mr. Replogle opened his undertaking business in Medina along with his wife, Mrs. Vada Foster Replogle. Menton and Vada married in 1919 after Menton returned from serving in World War I. Mr. Replogle was very active with state and civic duties. From 1961-1966 he served on the State Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers and had recently been elected to the Medina board of alderman before his death in 1967.
Mr. & Mrs. Replogle bought the present location, in June 1954 from Penick McLemore, and relocated the business to 303 E. Church Street. After Menton's death, his wife, Vada continued to operate the funeral home until her death in early 1982. The funeral home was then entrusted to Mr. James M. "Jimmy" Lawrence. At this time, the establishment became Replogle-Lawrence Funeral Home. For thirty-four years, Jimmy served the Medina community until his passing on February 1, 2016.
April 27, 2016, began a new chapter for the old undertaking company. Clayton White, along with his wife Kimberly Boswell White, purchased the funeral home from the family of Mr. Lawrence. Since purchasing the funeral home, the Whites have made many cosmetic improvements/upgrades and added more service options.
We are very humbled by the support of the community and the families that call upon us to serve them. It is our hope to be here for many more years continuing the same service that the Replogles and Mr. Jimmy provided.

Sunday, October 16, 2016, Replogle-Lawrence Funeral Home held their meet the new owners / open house for the community.
Since the purchase, Clayton & Kimberly have had the facility updated and made a lot of cosmetic changes. "The open house gave us the opportunity to not only meet friends and new people, but to let them see the facility in a relaxed atmosphere. We are really humble by the support of the community," Clayton said.
There were over 200 people in attendance on Sunday.

The Morning Shift
Small Trucks Are Coming Back
Matt Hardigree
Filed to:The Morning Shift
The Morning ShiftAll your daily car news in one convenient place. Isn't your time more important?
This is The Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parse it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
Earlier this month we did things a little differently by putting the gears inside the comments below to make it easier for you to comment on individual gears. I think there were some benefits to it, but let's try it out the other way.
I still encourage you to make your own gears in the comments that we can star to the top.
1st Gear: The Small Pickup Brigade Is Almost Back
Big trucks mean big money, but higher fuel prices and slowly growing employment means automakers are finally regaining some sense and considering making smaller trucks again, according to The Wall Street Journal.
We've got the 2014 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. There's a rumored lightweight F-150 called the Ford F-100. Dodge? There might even be a new Ram Dakota made out of some sort of Fiat or something.
In the meantime, Toyota and Nissan will still enjoy almost all of the market.
2nd Gear: About That Emergency Manager…
Everything in Detroit is about race and cars, but rarely about race cars. If you don't believe it read yesterday's take on Kwame Kilpatrick's conviction. How you feel about it probably has a lot to do with your race.
As The Detroit News reports, a high-level source says the administration of Governor Rick Snyder wants to appoint attorney Kevyn D. Orr to take over Detroit as an emergency manager. Orr is extremely well qualified, having represented Chrysler LLC in their bankruptcy, and he's also black.
Since the white folks fled to the suburbs and Coleman Young took over as mayor the entire city has been run, with few exceptions, by African Americans. Whatever Orr's qualifications, the idea that white Republican Rick Snyder could send anything but someone who isn't to Detroit is laughable.
Current Mayor Bing, for his part, is doing his best to prevent an emergency manager at all.
3rd Gear: Government Motors Now With Slightly Less Government
The Treasury Department is now lighter about $500 million in GM stock as the government ramps up its quiet selling of the company. The average price in that time, according to The Detroit Free Press, was about $26 to $28 per share.
This means the government offloaded about 18 million shares at a pretty healthy loss. Given that we still own about 270 million shares, the Freep thinks we'd need about $72 per share to break even for the rest of it. The stock is going up, but not by that much.
4th Gear: The Vauxhall Cascada Is The Opel Insignia Is The Buick Regal Convertible
Vauxhall is getting its version of the Opel Insignia convertible which, we hope, will spawn a roadster version of the very nice Buick Regal.
It may be odd that we'd ask for a convertible mid-sizer because, you know, we're not a 40-year-old assistant school principle with a crippling Diet Coke addiction. But it's undeniable that the new Regal is a good car and that, if the millions of Sebring convertibles are any guide, there's a market for them.
Because it's a Brit, the vehicle gets a 1.6-liter gas engine, a higher performance 2.0-liter with nearly 200 horsepower, and a 1.4-liter and 2.0-liter turbo diesel.
5th Gear: Toyoda Shakes That Shit Up
You'd think Akio Toyoda is the scion of a fertilizer family given the amount of shit he's inherited the last few years: natural disasters, unintended acceleration, the Toyota Corolla. Yet, right now is the best we've felt about Toyota in the last 20 years.
As another good sign, Automotive News says Toyoda is shaking up the Toyota power structure so half the company is run not by hand-picked Japanese execs but by local leaders who understand their own markets better.
Take Jim Lentz, a managing officer in charge of Toyota Motor North America and Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., who was named to the new post of North America CEO. Lentz will run solo, with no Japanese shadow executive east of Tokyo.
And Kazuo Ohara, Lexus' global executive vice president, will be transferred to California to head Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., reporting to Lentz. That shuffle upends the historical setup of an American executive heading Toyota Motor Sales under a Japanese boss who resides in North America.


The Hague, The Netherlands, June 11, 2013 – It is the first time ever that Pablo Herrera and Adrian Gavira had to start in qualification, but they were smiling their faces off during their first match on Tuesday at the Transavia The Hague Grand Slam. After months of pain and agony Herrera is finally back on the World Tour.
After the London 2012 Olympic Games, where the Spanish pair finished ninth, the doctor told Herrera his knee needed rest and recovery. But after a few months the doctor told him he needed surgery after all. Part of the patella tendon in his right knee, which troubled him before, was torn. It meant five more months of recovery.
Two weeks ago Herrera made his comeback on the beach volleyball sand at the Masters in Baden. "I was so happy I could finally play. I almost cried." The pain is gone and they plan to play as many tournaments as possible to get into shape again. "I am now at 60-70 percent", Herrera said.
The Spanish team reached main draw later on Tuesday after defeating USA's Nick Lucena and John Hyden (21-16 21-10) in their second qualification match.
