Wire Transfer Guidelines and Procedures Electronic Funds Transfer Policy April 2017 THIS COPY OF THE ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER POLICY REFLECTS WIRES ONLY FOR TRAINING PURPOSES Section III. Wire Transfers Blackhawk Bank & Trust routinely performs and receives wire transfers both for internal operations reasons (i.e. receipt of Cash Letter credits) and as a service to our customers. In the event that a customer wishes to request a wire transfer from Blackhawk Bank & Trust, a number of guidelines should be followed by the personnel involved. When a customer wishes to request a wire transfer, either in person or by phone, they are referred to personnel who can take the necessary instructions from them. This employee enters the information into our WireXchange which automatically assigns a sequence number. Wires may also be submitted online through eCORP Internet Banking with the use of a token. Customers are told that, in the normal course of business, wire transfer requests taken up to 4:00 p.m. will be on that day's business, on days in which both the Main Bank and the Federal Reserve of Chicago are open for normal operations. Wire requests received after 4:00 pm may be sent the same day at the discretion of the President and any other members of senior management that he may authorize; otherwise it will be done the following business day. Commercially reasonable security procedures A written wire agreement defines the duties, responsibilities, controls, and liabilities of each party. This agreement should also discuss commercially reasonable security procedures, such as the establishment of a password. Confirmation of a customer’s password will serve as verification and authorization by that customer. If a customer chooses not to enter into a wire transfer agreement with the bank, then they would be subject to all of the other security procedures and controls outlined in the following sections. Personal Domestic and Foreign Wires Initiated - In Person In order to request a wire transfer, the individual must present acceptable identification and be an authorized signer on the account. The employee accepting the wire transfer request must confirm the funds are available. The wire transfer request form as well as the wire payment instructions must then be sent to Main Bank for release. Electronic Funds Transfer2017 - WIRE TRAINING 1 Personal and Business Domestic and Foreign Wires Initiated - Not In Person, without a current Wire Agreement In order to request a wire transfer, not in person, the customer may phone, fax, or email the payment instructions to the bank. The employee that accepts the wire transfer request must utilize additional security measures to ensure the identity of the customer. First, a return call to the customer using only bank documented contact information must be made. Second, a wire transfer request form will be sent to the customer to sign and have notarized and returned to Blackhawk Bank. Any exception to this policy must be approved and documented by Assistant Vice President or higher. The wire transfer request form must be sent to Main Bank for release. Domestic and Foreign Wires Initiated - Not In Person, with a current Wire Agreement For customers who process wires more frequently while not present, a formalized Wire Agreement may be requested by the customer or required by the bank. The Wire Agreement allows the customer to establish authorized users, limits, and passwords. Once an agreement is in place, the specified security features must be verified each time a wire transfer is requested, which includes, at minimum, both a callback and password verification feature. Any exception to this policy must be approved and documented by Senior Management. Bank personnel who release wires must verify and further review the information on the wire transfer form before releasing the wire. Non-customers A non-customer may request a wire transfer be performed by our bank; however, this must always be done in person and payment made in available funds prior to any wire transfers being completed. Non-customers may not complete a wire transfer request by phone. Non-customers should be screened against the OFAC list or other government list prior to funds being wired out. Notification and documentation will be sent to the BSA department. OFAC Screening We will comply with all laws, including the Patriot Act and any other laws that may be aimed at fighting terrorism and/or crime. The bank has a Customer Identification Program in place. (See CIP Policy for more information.) The bank always seeks to have a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of our customers, including those who are requesting wire transfers. Any existing bank customer should have already been CIP screened, which includes an OFAC screen; thus there is no need to do another OFAC screen. Non-customers who request us to wire funds for them should be screened against the OFAC list or other government list prior to funds being wired out. Wire transfer beneficiaries who are not customers of the bank (and have thus not been through our CIP/OFAC screening) should also be screened against the OFAC list. If our bank examiners conclude that more parties to a wire transfer transaction should be screened against the OFAC list, we will continue to strive to fully comply with the Patriot Act and any other applicable laws. Electronic Funds Transfer2017 - WIRE TRAINING 2 Record Keeping When the wire request form is forwarded to an authorized employee, that employee will sign onto the system with their user code, password, and using any other security items that may be required (such as a token or any other commercially reasonable security features that may be in place); and then proceed to enter the given information onto the wire transfer screens of the WireXchange system. The user verifies the information, reenters the wire amount and beneficiary institution routing number, and releases the wire transfer. Completed wire forms are then sent to the manager of our Moline 70th Street branch for filing. There must be segregation of duties between the person who enters the wire transaction and the person who verifies and releases the wire; one employee should enter a wire and a different employee should verify and release it before it goes out. Ideally, the person who both verifies and releases the wire would not be the person who took the wire request so that we would have further segregation of duties. The employee will perform the wire transfer in a reasonable amount of time after they have received it from the originating employee. If the cut-off time for performance of the wire has passed or if the request is to be performed at some future date, the receiving employee will hold the wire form and accompanying information until the wire can be sent appropriately. For example, someone could request a wire transfer on a Saturday, but because the Fed is not open on Saturdays, this wire could not be performed until the next business day. In such a case the customer should be notified of the specific day on which the wire transfer will be sent and then an employee of the bank will hold the wire instructions and any accompanying information until that day or enter the transaction with the proper transfer date. The following recordkeeping requirements are in place for outgoing wire transfers: Each wire must include a name and address for the originator and a name and address for the beneficiary. If we do not have a name and address for BOTH the originator and the beneficiary, then the wire cannot be sent out until this information is received. In addition, if any other identifying information is submitted, it should be retained with the wire transfer form. Also, if the transfer originator is Not a Customer, the following additional information will be required and notification and documentation will be sent to the BSA department. 1. Name Address, and phone number. 2. Type of identification reviewed 3. The number of the identification document 4. The Originator's SSN, EIN, Alien ID number, Passport number & country of issuance, or notation that the information was not available. 5. A copy or record of the method of payment An OFAC screening should also be performed. Electronic Funds Transfer2017 - WIRE TRAINING 3 Interbank transfers will be exempt and NOT subject to the above documentation guidelines. As regards retention of outgoing wire transfer orders, all records will be retrievable by: (1) Originator's name, (2) Originator's account number, (3) Beneficiary's name, (4) Beneficiary's account number (if applicable), (5) All of the above must also be retrievable by time period. Additionally, transfers made on WireXchange are searchable by sequence number. All incoming wire transfer payment orders received will be kept as an original, other copy or on electronic media. At the end of the business day, a bank employee prints the summary statement from the FedLine system to perform the balancing function and the detail summary from WireXchange. The summary statement prints the number and total dollar amount of both incoming and outgoing wire transfers on that day's business. These totals are compared to balance the accounts. It is the Bank's policy to wire out available funds. Under extraordinary circumstances, though, a member of Senior Management has the authority to approve a "daylight overdraft" on a customer's account. This amount may not exceed that officer’s lending limit for unsecured loans as set forth in the bank’s loan policy. Wire transfers for non- customers should only be made with available funds. FedLine Considerations Documentation, installation CDs and tokens for the FedLine System should be destroyed when replaced with updated versions, when no longer needed, or when the FedLine relationship is terminated.

  • And All the Pieces Matter: Thoughts on the Wire and the Criminal Justice System
    And All the Pieces Matter: Thoughts on The Wire and the Criminal Justice System Susan A. Bandes* "Whatever it was, they don't teach it in law school."' I. INTRODUCTION The standard police procedural, even including great dramas like NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues, adheres to time-honored narrative conventions. It focuses on good, if sometimes imperfect, cops trying to find the real bad guys-the perpetrators-and bring them to justice. The episode begins when a crime ruptures the social fabric, and ends when guilt is determined and things are put to right. The standard procedural is concerned mainly with individual fault and individual heroism. It does not raise disquieting questions about the criminal justice system, the legal system, or the social and political arrangements that lead to a permanent underclass. There are eight million stories in the Naked City,2 and in the police procedural, every one of them stands on its own. This standard cop show narrative reflects and reaffirms a deeply ingrained, reassuring view of the world. The Wire is a different kind of television. It aims not to reassure but to unsettle, or as David Simon once put it, "to pick[] a fight."3 On its surface a police procedural, The Wire has been aptly described as a portrayal of "the social, political, and economic life of an American city with the scope, observational precision, and moral vision of great literature." Unlike the standard police procedural, which presents and resolves a discrete problem every week, The * Distinguished Research Professor, DePaul University College of Law.

Shirin Deylami and Jonathan Havercroft. New York: Routledge, Ch.1, pp. 11-40. The five seasons of The Wire are widely recognized as a landmark event in the history of media efforts to portray life in America’s poor, racially segregated communities. The show was especially momentous for scholars, such as us, who study urban poverty and the various ways authorities work to manage its problems and populations. Here, finally, was a dramatic depiction of the world we knew through our research and tried to convey in our teaching and public engagement. Here, finally, was a nuanced, humane account of the lives and lived realities—of cops and drug dealers and teachers and addicts and students and parents and more—that intersect and shape one another in the most marginalized neighborhoods of our nation’s cities. Here, finally, was a wildly popular, critically acclaimed, nationally televised cry of dissent from the “thriving cultural industry of fear of the poor, led by such television programs as ‘America’s Most Wanted’ and ‘Cops.’”1 More even than most documentaries, The Wire offers a realistic depiction of life inside the “hyperghetto,” a social space defined by stark racial segregation, severely diminished jobs and social services, inadequate schools, rampant poverty, open-air drug markets, widespread housing foreclosures, and pervasive depression and dilapidation.2 From the show’s inception, 1 Loïc Wacquant, Punishing the Poor: The Neoliberal Government of Social Insecurity (Durham: Duke University Press, 2009) 131-32.

Police Violence in The Wire Jonathan Masur† and Richard H. McAdams†† INTRODUCTION Police brutality—the unsanctioned, unlawful use of force by police against unarmed (and often defenseless) civilians—is one of the recur- ring motifs of The Wire.1 The violence occurs in a variety of settings: occasionally the victim of the police brutality has done something to precipitate it (though the brutality is never justified), but more often the violence is unprovoked and senseless.2 Some police are one-time wrongdoers; others are repeat offenders. Some officers participate in the actual beatings, while others only cover up for the actions of their fellow officers. But in sum, the violence is regular and recurring, if not omnipresent. In this respect, The Wire is not dissimilar from other filmic depictions of police, such as NYPD Blue. What is different is the cast of police officers who are involved in police brutality throughout the show.

Would "Hamsterdam"Work? Drug Depenalization in The Wire and in Real Life John Bronsteent ABSTRACT The television show The Wire depicts a plan called "Hamsterdam"in which police let people sell drugs in isolatedplaces, and only those places, without fear of arrest. Based on limited but decent empirical evidence, we can make educated guesses about what would happen if that were tried in real life. Indeed, Swiss police tried something remarkably similarin the 1980s. More generally, the results of various forms of drug legalization, depenalization, and decriminalization in Europe- such as in Portugal,which has transferredthe state's method of dealing with drug use (includingheroin and cocaine) from the criminaljustice system to a civil ad- ministrative system since 2001-shed light on the likely strengths and weaknesses of Hamsterdam-like efforts. The Wire seems to get a lot right, including some of Hamsterdam's successes and Hamsterdam'spolitical unsustainability.

In the world of television, The Wire is in a class by itself.2 In the world of law school, The Wire should be a class by itself. While many professors effectively show isolated scenes from The Wire to paint a vivid picture of interrogations and searches,3 basing an entire course around The Wire can cover huge gaps in law schools’ criminal-law curriculum. The most obvious doctrinal hole that the The Wire fills is the law of wiretapping. Most criminal procedure classes do not cover the heightened standard for obtaining a wiretap, the statutory requirement that police minimize their listening, or the need for officers to provide magistrates with progress reports about a wiretap. The Wire vividly demonstrates each of these legal concepts.

  • Product Quality Prediction for Wire Electrical Discharge Machining with Markov Transition Fields and Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks
    applied sciences Article Product Quality Prediction for Wire Electrical Discharge Machining with Markov Transition Fields and Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks Jehn-Ruey Jiang * and Cheng-Tai Yen Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Central University, Taoyuan City 32001, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper proposes a wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) product quality prediction method, called MTF-CLSTM, to integrate the Markov transition field (MTF) and the convolutional long short-term memory (CLSTM) neural network. The proposed MTF-CLSTM method can accurately predict WEDM workpiece surface roughness right after manufacturing by collecting and analyzing static machining parameters and dynamic manufacturing conditions. The highly accurate prediction is due to the following two reasons. First, MTF can transform data into images to extract data temporal information and state transition probability information. Second, the CLSTM neural network can extract image spacial features and temporal relationship of data that are separated far apart. In short, MTF-CLSTM predicts WEDM workpiece surface roughness with the MTF model and the CLSTM neural network using static machining parameters and dynamic manufacturing conditions. MTF-CLSTM is compared with 10 related research studies in many aspects. There is only Citation: Jiang, J.-R.; Yen, C.-T. Product Quality Prediction for Wire one existing method that is like MTF-CLSTM to predict WEDM workpiece surface roughness by using Electrical Discharge Machining with static machining parameters and dynamic manufacturing conditions. Experiments are conducted to Markov Transition Fields and evaluate MTF-CLSTM performance to show that MTF-CLSTM significantly outperforms the existing Convolutional Long Short-Term method in terms of the prediction mean absolute percentage error.
