If you've ever paid a bill online or reimbursed a friend on your phone, odds are you've used an ACH transfer. These bank-to-bank transfers, also called external funds transfers, are processed through the Automated Clearing House electronic network. The network also handles other ACH transfers, such as direct deposits and moving money between bank accounts.
It often takes around three business days for transferred funds to become available. Some banks and credit unions don't charge for external transfers, but others assess a small fee, typically $10 or less. And this applies only to online transfers. We'll talk about staff-assisted transfers at the end of the article.

How to transfer money more quickly
ACH transfers usually take a few business days to process, and nearly every financial institution has a cutoff time for transfer requests. Respecting these will help your money arrive on time. If you submit a transfer request after the cutoff — around the end of the business day — it generally won't be processed until the next business day.
Some banks offer next-day delivery, usually for an extra cost.
Remember that weekends and bank holidays don't count as business days. If you initiate a transfer request at 11 p.m. on the Friday before a three-day holiday weekend, the money might not reach its destination until the following Thursday.
Some banks offer next-day delivery, usually for an extra cost. Even then, "next day" usually means "next business day" not "next calendar day." But rules being implemented in March 2018 make it possible for most ACH payments, including payroll and account-to-account transfers, to be processed the same day they're requested. If you're paying an individual, Zelle is a good option. This service allows banks to front payments, so they can arrive within minutes. Banks are reimbursed when the ACH transfer clears.
ACH transfer vs. wire transfer
ACH transfers are cheaper than wire transfers, which typically cost about $25 to send and $10 to receive. You might pay more than $40 to transfer internationally. There's a reason for the higher fees: Wire transfers take hours, while ACH transfers take days.
» MORE: Learn the basics of wire transfers
Staff-assisted vs. online banking transfer
If you call a customer service representative or visit a branch to request a bank transfer, your financial institution might charge you — even if online transfers are free. For example, PNC Bank doesn't charge for online transfers, but you'll pay $3 for each staff-assisted transfer.
Before you make a transfer, make sure you know your financial institution's policies. Read our article on how to avoid checking fees to lower your costs and keep more money in your account.

Our Gulf waters have become less pristine and Red Tides have become more frequent and longer lasting off our beaches. Lake Okeechobee is a source of toxic discharges to the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Rivers. This is water that should be properly filtered and sent south.
Global climate change and sea level rise are issues for us all. I support a shift to solar, high speed transportation systems, and renewable energy, in all its forms, to reduce carbon emissions. I oppose fracking as a waste of fresh water, and the waste disposal of the resulting heavy chemical laden and contaminated water, as a threat to our drinking water and our health. I oppose pipelines and offshore drilling in Florida, as well as seismic testing offshore and throughout Florida, as harmful to our wildlife, aquifers, quality of life and our environment.
Statistical growth projections in Collier County are staggering; impact fees do not begin to pay for the infrastructure which places a burden on the existing property owners, not to mention on our wetlands, water supply, wildlife and environment.
Red Tide
Red Tide is an algae that has always existed out in the middle of the Gulf, but when it nears shore, propelled by winds and currents, it can "bloom" when it meets up with "nutrients", also known as sewage, manure, and fertilizer. Those blooms remove oxygen from the water and release harmful neurotoxins. We've all seen, smelled or felt the results to wildlife, tourism, and our health and businesses in SWFL.
It is the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers to control flooding and monitor Lake Okeechobee. The Corps is required by law to release water, to the west into the Caloosahatchee and/or east into the St Lucie, when lake levels require that the stress on the dike be alleviated for the safety of those living south of the Lake. But water quality is the responsibility of the Governor, Cabinet and State Legislature.
As requested by Governor Scott following his election, the EPA agreed to leave water quality up to Florida. Governor Scott then turned around and reduced the water management district budgets by $700M; gutted the FL DEP thereby sharply reducing the enforcement of environmental regulations; and ignored the will of 3 out of 4 voters in 2014 by refusing to exercise an option to buy land south of the Lake. In 2012 the Legislature repealed the 2010 statute requiring septic tank inspections.
By 2015 it was clear that deadlines in the Lake Okeechobee Protection Act were not being met by growers through volunteer best practices so a new water policy bill in 2016, supported by Adam Putnam and sponsored by Matt Caldwell, extended those deadlines by 20 years. To this date there are no nutrient level standards for water entering Lake Okeechobee.
All of which contribute to the harmful algae blooms in the Lake, Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie. Although most of the blue green algae dies in saltwater, the nutrients continue to flow into coastal areas and cause red tide.
It is said that these actions only serve to support the large campaign donor corporations farming sugarcane – a product that contributes $7 Billion annually to our state's economy while tourism contributes $80 Billion annually; not to mention the priceless negative impact on our wildlife and our health.
Solutions are known and have been ignored:
Control human and dairy farm waste disposal
- Require septic clean-outs and regular inspections
- Improve and build waste management facilities
- Recycle manure pits, currently the norm on dairy farms, into fertilizer dispensed to root systems
Improve water nutrient standards
- Impose stricter fertilizer standards statewide
- Establish nutrient standards and emergency deadlines
- Appoint scientists and environmentalists to Water Management District governing boards
- Stop back pumping EAA/Environmental Agricultural Area water into Lake Okeechobee
- Regulate compliance and hold polluters accountable per the voters' mandate in 1999
Protect and preserve our aquifers and spring waters
- Affirm water as the property of our citizens
- Stop deep well injection of contaminated water and storm water runoff
- Stop fracking
- Preserve wetlands and control growth based on the projected water supply
Send water south to protect southern aquifers and Florida Bay from salt water intrusion
- Buy the required land as voters demanded in 2014
- Provide infrastructure to clean the water in broad, shallow ponds
- Construct a southern spillway for Lake Okeechobee
- Meet the EPA nutrient standards for the water-starved Everglades
- Provide pumping facilities to move the water south into the Everglades

To almost no one's surprise, Obama's DNC-controlled Justice Department accepted the recommendation of his puppet FBI Director and formally announced the closure of their investigation into Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information.
The Justice Department's investigation into Hillary Clinton's email setup has been formally closed without any criminal charges, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday.
The decision had been expected and was largely a formality given FBI Director James Comey's recommendation a day earlier against any prosecution. Even before Comey's public statement, Lynch had said she intended to accept the recommendations of the FBI director and of her career prosecutors.
To say I'm disgusted is a gross understatement.
Bill Clinton meets secretly with Loretta Lynch, and then word leaks that his wife will "consider" keeping Lynch on as AG. IE, clear the decks Loretta and your job is secure for at least 4 more years.
Then Hillary and Barry just "happen" to schedule their first joint campaign appearance on the very day the FBI director is set to announce his findings. These events don't happen on a whim, or without weeks of advance notice. So for sure everybody already knew she was going to skate.
Which means, of course, that the FBI "interview" at her house on Saturday was just for show. The investigation was already concluded. The decision to clear her had already been made.
In other words, the fix was in. The rule of law is dead. Mr. Comey's cowardly decision will go down as one of the government's worst assaults on truth.
After describing clear evidence of extensive mishandling of classified national security information, FBI Director James Comey announced that the FBI will not recommend indicting former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. This is naked crony government, ugly and exposed.
Laws are for the little people.
Hillary Clinton is Too Big To Jail.
It doesn't matter that the evidence of her guilt is plain for all to see.
But it might matter that buried in Comey's remarks is this little gem, in which he obfuscates Hillary's guilt.
To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.
To be clear, people not named Hillary Clinton are called to account. Every. Single. Time.
If Donald Trump and the GOP are smart they'll seize on this double standard, and convict Hillary in the court of public opinion.
Paul Ryan is, to his credit, connecting those dots.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., on Wednesday formally urged Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to deny presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton access to classified information.
Ryan, in a letter to Clapper, said he wants Clinton prohibited from receiving classified information "for the duration of her candidacy for president."
"There is no legal requirement for you to provide Secretary Clinton with classified information, and it would send the wrong signal to all those charged with safeguarding our nation's secrets if you choose to provide her access to this information despite the FBI's findings," Ryan wrote.
Of course Clapper will demur. He's a politician who's also looking to keep his job for four more years. But that will just give the GOP another talking point — what level of "carelessness" would lead Clapper to deny someone access to more classified information?
Move over "Crooked Hillary." Her new nickname ought to be "Careless Hillary." Because do we really want someone that reckless and negligent in the White House?
You know what? This guy is on to something.
And in the meantime I think Woodward and Bernstein owe Richard Nixon an apology.

Item Description:
We all carry energy. We all use energy. We all radiate energy.
We are a subtle symphony of different energies that all affect each other.
That's why when we think a happy thought, our bodies feel lighter.
When we think a limiting thought, our bodies tense and constrict.
Everything is linked.
Spiritual teachers have known this throughout the ages – but we are now only beginning to really grasp the message.
Every cell of our bodies carries with it the memory of every moment we have lived. That includes all of our experiences, mental, physical and emotional.
It includes all the societal and family conditioning, the negative mind sets, the fear-based beliefs and our cultural and religious conditioning.
Letting go of this, while challenging in itself, will lead to a life based on our true nature of love, joy and expansion, trust and love."
Each CETTM experience is different and includes active meditation, teaching, group process work, mindfulness and stillness.
While you are invited to participate as much as possible, there is no pressure.
Simply being present and experiencing the energy of the group brings its own benefits.
We conclude with deep relaxation, anchoring and grounding.
Previous participants have said :
"I know the word 'Transformation' resonated with me – I did have my reservations about it until I realised I had a CHOICE……Transform or stay Reserved"
"I attended a couple of his workshops (day sessions) ….during these days ( and sharing with others) I gained enormous strength through becoming more aware of the way in which I could use my mind, body and spirit to 'move' things along……release things ……freeing them up.
"I came away from the day sessions exhausted but totally rejuvenated because there was 'RELEASE'…"
"Eoin helped me to see I could 'allow ' myself to 'be' an expressive person without the fear of judgement…"
"Eoin, through non-judgemental listening bore witness to me, allowing me to restore the essence of me…"
"I am now at a point where I have processed a lot of pain and anguish with the support of Eoin……. being guided personally through and dealing with EXTREME anger/confusion which was deeply ingrained in me…..this has been totally liberating!!!!"
CET….. It is such a natural response to cruel/contrived projections laid upon us…….. "
"My longing was to experience my life in its deeper and richer dimension. Then I met Eoin – and almost immediately became aware that this was not another expert talking-up-the-good-life. I had a sense that I may be in the presence of someone who had something more significant to share. Eoin's style was engaging and supportive while allowing my cognitive and emotional process to gently unfold. Always present to what was going on for me – who I was being behind my words – I was able to begin experiencing myself in a new, vibrant way. The most challenging part was recognising and releasing my self-doubt and self-judgement. " Andrew

Will Smith Cuts Off Son Jaden's Hair for Movie Role
Will Smith is an actor, father, musician and now a barber for son Jaden.
"Getting Jaden Smith ready for the first day of filming #LifeInAYear …maybe I should've used scissors?!" Smith, 48, shared on Facebook Tuesday along with photos of 18-year-old Jaden's before and after hair transformation.
In addition to Jaden's dreadlocks being gone, so is his blond hue. A fan spotted The Get Down actor on set in Toronto with his newly shaved head and natural hair colour.
Deadline reported in March that Jaden had been cast opposite Cara Delevingne for the upcoming romantic drama, Life In A Year. The film will follow a 17-year-old boy who, after learning his girlfriend is dying from cancer, sets out to give her their entire life together, in the year she has left.
The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air alum is producing the Mitja Okorn-directed film that will also star Terrence Howard and Nia Long.

North Carolina 'bathroom bill' reset gets applause and jeers
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina's deal to undo its "bathroom bill" is receiving both complaints and applause, along with one big vote of confidence that could pump tens of millions of dollars into the state's economy.
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Friday that it's ready to start considering North Carolina again for its lucrative neutral-site championships. That's a morale boost for a state that prides itself on college sports.
Some business leaders, including the state Chamber of Commerce and Bank of America, are praising the deal, but others, including IBM and the McKinney advertising agency, remain doubtful.
LGBT advocates, meanwhile, say the "reset" under House Bill 142 is not a true repeal, and still exposes gay and transgender people to discrimination.
HB142 has eliminated HB2's requirement that transgender people use restrooms corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates in many public buildings. But the new law also makes clear that from now on, only state legislators — not local governments or school officials — can make rules for public restrooms.
HB2 also invalidated any local ordinances protecting gay or transgender people from discrimination in the workplace or in public accommodations. HB142 prohibits local governments from enacting any new such protections until December 2020.
The ACC pulled games from North Carolina last year and threatened to remove its 2017 football championship from Charlotte as well if HB2 remained on the books. Now the state's largest city can look forward to the $30 million economic boost that game brings, and the ACC says the state "will again be considered for hosting" future games.
The NCAA, which also removed events from North Carolina, struck a more cautious tone on Thursday when its president Mark Emmert said the association will decide in the coming days whether HB142 represents "a sufficient change in the law."
The new law was passed by the legislature and signed into law by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper in a matter of hours on Thursday.
Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, complained that transgender people were left out of back-room negotiations on the deal.
"I don't know why any of these people thought they could use the exact secret process and incompetence that got them into this problem to get them out of this problem," she said in an interview.
The ACLU said it's continuing its legal battle on behalf of transgender residents.
"Many of the provisions of HB142 carry forward problematic portions of HB2," the group's North Carolina legal director Chris Brook said. He said provisions such as the moratorium on local anti-discrimination ordinances "mirror provisions we've already sued over."
The stakes are high. An Associated Press analysis this week found that House Bill 2 would cost the state more than $3.76 billion in lost business over a dozen years. The tally was based on companies and events that already backed out, meaning that money won't likely return even with the 2016 law gone.
The North Carolina Chamber of Commerce thanked Cooper and Republican legislative leaders "for coming together on a bipartisan basis to find a solution."
Bank of America, the largest North Carolina-based company, said in a news release: "We support this bipartisan measure to repeal HB2 and create the conditions for continued dialogue and progress."
Other companies responded negatively, such as the Durham-based advertising agency McKinney.
"As a national agency with a global creative reputation, our success depends upon attracting the very best talent and clients to Durham. This new bill continues to stand in the way of that," McKinney CEO Brad Brinegar said.
IBM, which has a large Raleigh-area operation, "opposed North Carolina's H.B.2 because it discriminates against people for being who they are. We welcome its repeal, but stronger local nondiscrimination laws should not be pre-empted," said the company's chief diversity officer, Lindsay-Rae McIntyre.
Last year's cancellations included a Greensboro concert by Bruce Springsteen. Asked if HB142 does enough to bring them back, the band's guitarist Steven Van Zandt tweeted: "There is nothing I would like more," but he called the repeal "phony." ''They're not fooling the NCAA or anybody," he wrote.
Movie director Rob Reiner, an activist for equal rights and major supporter of Democratic candidates, urged colleagues to continue avoiding North Carolina, tweeting: "Entertainment leaders: don't fall for this 'deal.' Doesn't repeal #HB2."
Money and politics aside, transgender people remained worried about their safety.
"It's not a full repeal," said Vivian Taylor, a National Guard veteran and transgender woman from North Carolina. "It's obviously just there to try to make the NCAA basketball people happy."

Honorable John Burton
Assemblyman, 16th District
Chairman, Public Safety Committee
California State Assembly
2179 State Capitol
Dear Mr. Burton & Committee Members:
The San Diego County Grand Jury has spent nine months in an intensive
study of the Juvenile Dependency System. This has included hundreds
of professionals in the system, review of literally thousands of
pages of documents, study of hundreds of Juvenile Court cases, observation
of approximately one hundred Juvenile Court proceedings, and one
month of sworn testimony. This study resulted in Grand Jury Report
#2, "Families in Crisis."
Since issuing this report, the County Grand Jury has been inundated
with an additional flood of citizens and professionals desiring
to testify regarding their adverse personal experiences with Child
Protective Services. The Jury has serious concerns that these abuses
have seriously eroded public confidence in CPS' ability to fairly
protect children and their families. If the legislature does not
approve legislation to control social worker abuse of public confidence
the Jury fears a public backlash which may seriously impact society's
ability to protect children.
The S. D. County Grand Jury made ninety-two (92) recommendations
to improve the system, including that the Board of Supervisors seek
legislative changes in immunity provisions governing social workers
and others involved in the child abuse system. This may, in fact,
be the most important recommendation of the Jury because that single
change carries the potential to remedy a great many of the other
problems found in the system. The Jury believes the current system
of absolute immunity is the single greatest deterrent to change.
It is sad but true that many of us change our behavior primarily
to avoid adverse results.
This Jury is well aware of the historical reasons for extending
total immunity to social workers. This Jury recognizes that the
majority of social workers perform their tasks appropriately. It
is empathetic to the difficult decisions facing social workers and
does not seek to impair their ability to perform these tasks. Police
officers are faced with very similar situations. Wisely, they have
only been granted qualified immunity. Social workers who perform
their tasks in good faith will have nothing to fear protected by
qualified immunity.
The San Diego County Grand Jury has witnessed the unfortunate truth
of a statement made by a trial attorney within the Fourth District
Court of Appeal. "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Absolute immunity is absolute power." The Jury was hesitant to reach
the conclusion that absolute immunity must go, but having seen the
results of this immunity in the lives of the citizenry, we adamantly
believe it must.
The San Diego County Grand Jury has:
Absolute immunity fosters these wrongs and then when the system
has wrought devastating financial and personal harm on individuals
and families, leaves them no recourse. More significantly, however,
absolute immunity promotes societal damage by removing any deterrent
to repeating these same types of activities, thereby removing a
primary incentive for change.
It is the view of the Jury that it is ultimately the children of
California who have been most damaged. We have seen the results
of the adoptions which must be undone, the relatives still seeking
their children, the throw-away children on the streets, and the
extraordinary costs of this system to the taxpayers.
This can not be totally rectified by this legislation but it will
mean some accountability among the line social worker and every
Department head. It will allow the system to purge itself of the
social worker who abuses power and leave in place those who are
the willing to live within the standards of law. This highly sensitive
and very vulnerable area of social service is not the place for
the abuse of power.

I am sorry, but The Globe and Mail's editorial, Lac-Mégantic: By no means the last explosion of its kind, contained a serious factual error.
The editorial applauds the federal government, when they should be condemned.
"The federal government can't be charged with inaction – Ms. Raitt and her department have worked diligently – but that doesn't mean there has been sufficient action," stated the editorial.
In 2012, the federal government amended the Railway Safety Act by taking out a basic, and fundamental principle of corporate responsibility. They removed the following objective:
"To recognize the responsibility of railway companies in ensuring the safety of their operations."
In its place came a milquetoast replacement.
On the subject of milquetoast, I have written letters to three successive ministers of Transport calling for an inquiry into railway safety, following the deaths of three Montreal-area teens killed by a VIA Rail train in 2010. All the replies are pasty, and deliberate denials that there exists a problem.
Thus, to hear the Globe and Mail express platitudes over the "diligent" actions of Raitt, I strongly beg to differ.
Diligence would require fixing the Railway Safety Act, amongst other things.

Eat these over-the-top burgers with a knife and fork, or set out a pile of napkins. Add fresh crisp texture and flavor by mounding slaw atop the burgers. Serve extra slaw on the side, or save it for another day.
How to Make It
Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add coleslaw mix; toss to coat. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Combine ground sirloin, steak sauce, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Gently shape mixture into 4 (4-inch) patties.
Grill patties, covered with grill lid, 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until beef is no longer pink in center. Serve on hamburger buns, and top burgers with chili and coleslaw mixture.
Note: We tested with Fresh Express 3-Color Deli Cole Slaw.

A few days ago an article titled "The Soul Food Restaurants of Jacksonville" popped up in my Facebook feed. Number 3 on this list was Gilbert's Social owned by Chef Kenny Gilbert. I am obsessed with Top Chef and immediately recognized the name. Chef Gilbert was a favorite of mine from the very first episode of Season 7 and I had no clue he had a restaurant here in Jacksonville. I couldn't contain my excitement and advised Mr. Miller that we would definitely be going sometime soon. Sometime soon ended up being this past Saturday. Mr. Miller and I went, along with our friend Amanda. Continue reading for my review of Gilbert's Social.

Last week I missed the Global Game Jam. I had a personal event happen that Friday night and then took a drive down the coast of Australia on Saturday to sort my head out.
Anyway, here is a LINK to all the Perth entries. If I had been there I would have seen myself working on Under One Roof.
I haven't played all the Perth one's yet but I've poked through the overall list. I have to say that as a whole, the Perth entries would appear to be heads above most of the rest.
