If I were a parent of a small child, the first thing I'd look for in a caregiver is – honesty.
Do I really want to leave my child, all day, in the hands of a liar? If they will lie to someone as frightening as IRS, why wouldn't they lie to someone sweet and harmless, like me? And will they be teaching my children that it's OK to lie to me, too? But it's your child or children. You need to decide on the importance of ethics in your caregivers.
As to the tax consideration – use Form 2441 Child and Dependent Care Credit.
The maximum credit for one child when your household income is over $43,000 is $600 . It's $1,200 for two children. That's worth about $12 per week, per child, for 50 weeks a year. This means the $75 per week honest caretaker will cost you an extra $3 per week, after using the credit.
The credit can be as high as $1,050 per child if your household income was only $15,000 – but then you would not likely need any credit at all anyway. Your taxes would be wiped out by your standard deduction and exemptions. So that rate is meaningless.
Incidentally, if you have no taxable income, but have self-employment taxes from business profits, the credit will not reduce self-employment taxes. So, now you have the tax tools to help you decide.
And remember, you can find answers to all kinds of questions about child care credits and other tax issues, free. Where? Where else? At TaxMama.com.
Form 2441 :: Child and Dependent Care Credit.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Imohim Edgar, has called for cooperation between the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the police. At a joint press conference held at the secretariat of the Ikeja branch of the NBA, the CP said the NBA is a vital partner in the dispensation of justice.
The conference was organised to douse tension which aroused in the aftermath of the maltreatment meted on a member of the branch by some police officers in Lagos. The Ikeja branch led by the chairman, Adesina Ogunlana, had planned to embark on a protest throughout the state to protest police brutality.
The CP, who said he got wind of the proposed protest through a newspaper report, contacted the Bar leadership and pleaded with them to shelve the protest.
"You are vital partners in dispensation of criminal justice. I was worried when i heard the NBA was calling for a general protest against police. I was not against the protest but the nature of the protest," the CP said.
He added: "It is your right to call the attention of the police to where we are lacking. The only way we can gain the trust of the people is by ensuring we operates professionally and be guided by laws.
In his speech, the Chairman of NBA, Ikeja branch, Adesina Ogunlana, commended the CP for rising to the occasion.
"The CP has demonstrated good faith with us. We called off the protest to give respect to his (CP) office. Many citizens have been visited with police brutality and all these should stop.
The police that are trusted and loved is the police that will deliver. The quality resource of the police is human intelligent. When police becomes our friend, the citizen will also help them in community policing," he said.

No Voter Left Behind? The Quiet Disenfranchisement of Native Americans
vebrankovic · December 4, 2020 ·
By Scott Meyer
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs website contains a list of frequently asked questions. Among them, "[d]o American Indians and Alaska Natives have the right to vote?" The simple answer, yes, belies the complex relationship between the indigenous peoples of North America, and the United States.
In 1924, the U.S. passed the Snyder Act, which entitled Native Americans born in the U.S. to full citizenship. Ostensibly the 15th amendment, which was passed more than fifty years earlier and granted U.S. citizens the right to vote, combined with the Snyder Act should have allowed Native Americans to vote. In practice, since the Constitution delegated to the states the administration of elections, several decades passed after the Snyder Act before Native Americans actually received national suffrage. The final two holdouts were Utah and North Dakota, which granted "on-reservation Native Americans the right to vote in 1957 and 1958, respectively". However, even after gaining the right to vote, Native Americans faced many of the same challenges employed against African-Americans to stymie their votes. The passage of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), often associated with protecting African-American voters, also benefitted many American Indians who lived in covered states or counties, such as Alaska and Arizona. For decadesNative Americans filed lawsuits relying on the 14th and 15th amendment and various sections of the VRA to "gainequal access to election procedures and to have an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice."
Fast forward to 2013, the Supreme Court ruled in Shelby County v. Holder that the preclearance coverage formula of the Voting Rights Act was unconstitutional. The preclearance coverage formula was used to determine which state and local governments needed to obtain preclearance from the federal government before implementing any changes to their voting laws or practices. By striking down the formula, the Supreme Court effectively ended preclearance requirements, and, as of 2019, twenty-five states have enacted stricter voting requirements.
The Native American Voting Rights Coalition published a survey in 2018 on the barriers Native Americans were encountering in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and South Dakota. Their findings highlighted the problems Native Americans face: a very high level of distrust in local and state government, the bodies in charge of administering elections; and immense difficulty in registering to vote.
The first of these problems could be expounded upon to fill entire shelves. The latter, however, is likely less well understood. First, Native Americans may lack a residential address. As exemplified by Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez when discussing Arizona's voting laws, "[a] majority of Navajo citizens residing on the reservation do not have traditional street addresses. Of the Navajo Nation's 110 chapters, about 70 of them do not have street names or numbered addresses, which adds up to at least 50,000 unmarked properties." To give his statement some context, the Navajo Nation consists of more than three hundred thousand citizens and covers more than twenty seven thousand square miles. The Navajo Nation is not unique among reservations in lacking home mail delivery, with many using P.O. boxes instead. This lack of residential addresses also highlights the challenges of mail-in voting for American Indians, something that has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Compounding these difficulties is the fact that Native Americans may not have identification that fulfills voter ID laws. If, for example, a Native American has an ID with a P.O. box, or a nonresidential address, the ID might be rejected.
To see this in action, consider the saga of North Dakota. It passed a voter ID law requiring that voter identification must show a current street address, with P.O. boxes not applying. Initially, a federal judge ruled American Indians had to comply with the tightened voter ID restrictions. However, the law was challenged again in Brakebill v. Jaeger and Spirit Lake v. Jaeger, with the result that the Secretary of the State and the North Dakota Tribes agreed to a settlement to "ensure all Native Americans who are qualified electors can vote, [and] relieve certain burdens on the Tribes related to determining residential street addresses for their tribal members and issuing tribal IDs . . . ." This back and forth between cases is emblematic of Native Americans' varying levels of success in court.
In addition to continuing lawsuits across the country, Native Americans may find more lasting protection from two pieces of legislation currently sitting in Congress. The Voting Rights Advancement Act aims to "re-establish [the] formula to determine jurisdictions that are required to have their new voting laws precleared." It passed the House and has been sitting in the Senate since December 2019. The Native American Voting Rights Act of 2019 is meant to "protect the voting rights of Native American and Alaska Native voters." Its sweeping language includes the creation of a task force to improve Native American voting turnout and participation, as well as addressing voter ID requirements and other difficulties faced by Native Americans. While it has yet to pass the Senate, its success "will help close many of the gaps in registration and accessibility that have persisted in Indian Country . . . ."

We have 6 parent supported Teacher Appreciation events planned for next year and need people to sign up in pairs to take the lead on events. You can run your event from there - with sign up genius for help and food items, PTO financial support if needed for extra items, etc. Times are approximate to indicate breakfast or lunch. There is very little hands on volunteering in middle school, this is a tangible way to support the Pierce staff. Thanks for considering!

Q: Searching for a String in a String array while writing my program I have run into another nooby road block.
if(StringTerm[0].equals("wikipedia"))
        {
            StringBuilder SearchTermBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            for(int i = 1; i < StringTerm.length; i++)
            {
                SearchTermBuilder.append(StringTerm[i] + " ");
            }
            // This is the string it outputs.
            WIKI_ID = "Wikipedia";
            SearchTerm = SearchTermBuilder.toString();
            SearchTermFull = WikiBaseLinkReference.WIKI_WIK + SearchTermBuilder.toString();
        }

This code checks for input from a console command "/wiki" and checks to see if the first string after the word "wiki" matches "wikipedia" and if so, it builds a string to match what I want it to do.
This is all well and good, and the program works fine, but I want users to be able to use different keywords to get the same results.
For Example: If I type /wiki wikipedia, it would do the same as /wiki pediawiki
If I made an array of different names called WIKIPEDIA
public static String WIKIPEDIA[] = {"wikipedia","pediawiki"};

How would I tell the if statement to check to see if the text entered equals one of the strings inside of my array? Every time I try to use an || or operator it throws me some errors.
Thanks in advance.

A: You need a version of "any":
public boolean any(String[] array, String s) {
    for(String value : array) {
        if(s.equals(value)) { return true; }
    }
    return false;
}

Then
if(any(WIKIPEDIA, "wikipedia")) {
}

Russia rough on McDonald's
McDonald's locations in Russia face unscheduled food safety checks.
(Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Russian food safety officials said they will conduct unscheduled checks on McDonald's locations in the Urals after receiving food safety complaints, according to news reports. The action comes after Russian authorities temporarily shuttered three restaurants in Moscow.
"We will continue to take care of our employees and do everything we can to continue the success of our company in Russia," the company said in a statement on the Russian version of its website.
McDonald's said in a statement that three McDonald's restaurants on Pushkin Square, Manezh Square and Prospect Mira were temporarily closed "based on a claim from a federal consumer agency."
"We are closely studying the subject of the documents to define what should be done to re-open the restaurants as soon as possible," the company said. "Our main priority is to serve our customers with top quality menu items."
Although Russian authorities say the food safety checks are not politically motivated, tensions continue to rise between Russia and the West after the United States and the European Union implemented sanctions against Russia.

Neil Massey's Loud and Chaotic Vietnam
Hà Đào
A scarlet fighting cock standing triumphantly on a pile of construction sand, colorful sets of plastic tables and chairs waiting to serve workers, friends and lovers, heavily-tattooed young people lost in a sonic trance. What British photographer Neil Massey has seen during his time in Vietnam bears little resemblance to the often seen image of a tranquil, timeless getaway destination. For 6 years, Neil has chronicled DYI metal shows, sipped iced tea on makeshift street tea stalls and wandered around places existing somewhere between public and private.
© inpages
His first self-published work The Vietnam Collection has launched at indie artbook store inpages last Friday. It is a creative collaboration between Neil and Rice Creative, the studio trusted to understand the Saigonese spirit and the artist himself. On designing a photographic work that aims to depict a country, designer Mark Bain shares: "We had no intention of expressing any sort of Vietnamese characteristic or symbolism through design. Any cultural reference or depiction would be held solely in the photography".
The final results are 4 books of varying sizes, solid color with the robust, clean-cut New Rail Alphabet typeface that contains no Vietnamese symbolism. In conjunction with the consistent typographic approach, the chosen colors unifies 4 books as a collection. Black suits the secretive world in Bloody Chunks, white accompanies the quiet, brooding moments in Untitled, red coincides with vibrant plastic furniture in Monobloc and yellow embraces the vibrant beauty within Sống. Let's explore Neil's vision of a loud and noisy but no less charming Vietnam.
From the series Untitled by Neil Massey.
From your work, I assume you prefer chaos to tranquility—is that correct? How do you see and adapt to the chaos of Vietnam that has troubled many expats?
I wouldn't say I prefer chaos to tranquility. I would say Saigon, where I lived for 6 years, had a very special chaotic energy that inspired me. The Vietnamese people have a great spirit and I wanted to convey that. I wanted to show a Vietnam that I was experiencing on a daily basis, not a stereotypical idea of Vietnam. Even though my images can be seen as raw, I like to think there's a beauty in this rawness. By the way I'm not adverse to some tranquility in my life (laugh).
Let's start with Monobloc, your ode to Vietnam's plastic tables and chairs. Despite or because of their ubiquitous presence on the street, they don't receive much attention or speculation. What do you see in the bright colored, cheap and temporary furniture?
The Monobloc series started when I photographed a group of plastic chairs and tables, ready and waiting for the next set of customers. In this moment I saw these brightly coloured objects as subjects, as characters with personalities, each formation with their own story. The way they are randomly laid out each morning by the vendor, reminded me of working, functioning, transitory installations – the vendor an unknowing curator.
From the series Monobloc by Neil Massey.
What other things do you look for on the street? Your Sống zine is a collection of visual poems heavy with symbolism. Can you share a favorite picture, a memorable moment in the series?
Most of my work is inspired by the activities that happen on the street. My work is an instinctive reaction and intuitive response to life on the street. It's only later when I look at my work as a whole, I see patterns and themes developing. Whilst editing, the ideas evolve and I focus in on that theme and repetitively shoot this subject over a long period of time. This enables me to study this theme in more depth and develop the idea.
I'm really interested in diptychs and how images work together, so with Sống I was able to play with this idea. Through pairing images together on a double page spread, they take on a new significance which is open to the viewers interpretation. One of my favourite photos is the fish out of water image (which in the book is next to the Tan Son Nhat airport image). I was in Mui Ne with Chi-an from RICE, we were on a fresh fish finding mission for our friends' dinner that evening. It was a very hot day and this fish somehow flipped itself out of a water tank and onto the street below in front of us—it was a very surreal moment.
From the series Sống by Neil Massey.
Youth culture is a recurrent theme in your work. You have been photographing concerts and raves from 1999 to 2005, and metalheads in Vietnam from 2009 to 2015. This 6-year project resulted in Bloody Chunks, the largest book in the collection. What insights have you got from immersing in the underground music scene?
I've been documenting youth culture since 1990. When I was 19 years old, I spent 3 months travelling around Thailand. I documented the full moon beach raves, the party paradise that inspired the book and film The Beach. In the late 90s I moved to London and started to work for style/youth/music magazines—The Face and Sleazenation. During this time I travelled the world commissioned to shoot musicians and youth cultures. This work makes up the 1999-2005 film collection. All this work was shot on film and is now on show at Boxpark Croydon in London.
I was drawn first and foremost to The Vietnamese Underground Metal Scene, as it reminded me of my experiences at punk gigs in the UK when I was a 15. The hardcore energy and spirit of the metal bands and fans resonated with me. The metalheads were a great bunch of people dedicated to this underground sound and way of life. I admired that, I felt compelled to document this scene, during the years I lived in Vietnam. I always felt great after a gig—the sheer intensity of it. I've found over the years that I've been documenting youth culture that around the world there are connections—the universal theme of identity, the emotions of being young, experimenting and evolving.
The Bloody Chunks book is A3 in size as its the loudest and most energetic of the 4 books. Myself and Rice wanted the size to reflect that—it should engulf you overpower you when you open it.
From the series Bloody Chunks by Neil Massey.
Why do you choose the book format to publish these works? Tell us more about your collaboration with Mark from Rice creative, one of the leading creative studios in Vietnam.
I wanted to produce a limited edition run of 100 of each zine/book, signed and numbered. Rather than publish 4 hardback books over a period of years i wanted them all to come out at the same time together. From a design perspective, we really liked how this format seemed best suited to tell these 4 stories, we thought they worked well together as a set or as individual titles. Each title has its own personality. The different sizes, colourways and image layout reflect that.
Mark and the Rice team have been amazing throughout this whole process, massive respect to him as he's seen the process through to the end designing all the inpages book launch posters and postcards, all in his signature design style. The process of editing took me about two years. I edited all the images for all the books and got the order and flow of images ready, then I handed over the images to Mark and his team and he came back with cover design, font choices and images layout design on the pages. Hardly anything was changed from Rice's first design presentation to me over skype from Saigon to me in London, which is a testament to their work. I've got nothing but great words to say about Rice—it was the perfect collaboration.
I just want to say a big thank you to Long and team at inpages for working with me to launch and stock my books, limited edition prints and posters.

Los estudios de datos críticos son el estudio sistemático de datos y sus críticas. El campo fue nombrado por los académicos Craig Dalton y Jim Thatcher.

El concepto surgió a partir del interés significativo en los estudios de datos críticos suscitado por danah boyd y Kate Crawford, quienes plantearon un conjunto de preguntas de investigación para el estudio crítico de macrodatos y sus impactos en la sociedad y en la cultura. Como su nombre lo indica, los estudios de datos críticos se basan en gran medida en la influencia de la teoría crítica que aplica al estudio de datos. Gracias al aporte de otros autores, tales como Rob Kitchin y Tracey P. Lauriault, ha logrado establecerse en forma de campo académico.
 Uno de los objetivos de los estudios de datos críticos es «dar sentido a los datos a través de diferentes marcos teóricos, algunos de los cuales incluyen el análisis ético, político, económico, temporal y espacial, y filosófico de los datos». Algunas de las revistas académicas relacionadas con los estudios de datos críticos incluyen Journal of Big Data y Big Data and Society.

The definition of fixed asset turnover analysis and ratio shows what portion of sales is generated from fixed asset investment. Additionally, it is most likely to be useful for a capital-intensive company. In general, the higher the value, the better the company is.
This means that $0.2 of sales is generated for every dollar investment in fixed asset.
Fixed asset turnover measures how well a company is using its fixed assets to generate revenues. The higher the fixed asset turnover ratio, the more effective the company's investments in fixed assets have become. Furthermore, a high ratio indicates that a company spent less money in fixed assets for each dollar of sales revenue. Whereas, a declining ratio indicates that a company has over-invested in fixed assets. Fixed asset turnover provides very useful information for both investors and management about whether or not a company is becoming more efficient in the use of its fixed assets by comparing its value with its historical records or industry average.
Why divided by 50,000 not 100, 000???
It looksl like a mistake on the example calculation. It should have been 100,000.

The Lights Are On At Michigan Stadium
By Ian Casselberry Nov 20, 2010, 4:57pm EST
Share All sharing options for: The Lights Are On At Michigan Stadium
Michigan Stadium is now officially out of the dark ages, as installation of a permanent lighting system was completed this week. The lights were tested on Thursday evening, as well as during Saturday's football game versus Wisconsin, completing the $1.8 million project ahead of schedule.
From the Detroit News:
"It took us 130 years to get to this point," [Michigan athletic director David] Brandon said Thursday, clearly pleased. "This is an historic day in Michigan football. This is a major step forward for us."
What Brandon likes most about the lights is how they've been integrated into the stadium renovations.
"They're very cool," Brandon said. "It's a really clean band of lights running horizontally, as opposed to big, ugly poles."
The lights were scheduled to be fully installed before "The Big Chill at the Big House" on December 11. But the hockey game between Michigan and Michigan State will still be the first true test of the lighting system. Next season will feature Michigan Stadium's first football game, between the Wolverines and Notre Dame, played at night.
The Big House Blog has photos from the test in an empty stadium. And this video of UFC fighter Forrest Griffin's visit to the Michigan football program also has a brief glimpse of the field with the lights on.

Q: Jboss 7 serving static resources asynchronously Since Jboss supports Servlet 3.0, servlets can serve in an asynch manner. However, how do i configure jboss or application so that static resources like javascript files, css files and images can be served in an asynchronous manner?
Following link doesn't help either
https://docs.jboss.org/jbossweb/7.0.x/aio.html
Has anyone done this before?

A: As far as I know and from everything that I have read, Asynchronous support in Servlet 3 does NOT serve web resources.  It is used for asynchronously handling HttpServlet Requests and Responses so that your AJAX doesn't get hung up waiting for database connection pooling and the like.

How to asynchronously serve JavaScript and CSS

*

*It is import to place all of your <script> tags/calls at the end of the <body>, right before the </body>. This ensure that your HTML gets loaded before any fetching or running of the scripts happen.

*The simplest way to serve JavaScript asynchronously is to use HTML5 and add the 'async' attribute.  NOTE: this may only be used for linking JavaScript code with the src attribute, it will not work for JavaScript in the <script> tag.
<script async src="../js/your-javascript-code.js"></script>

*If you can not use HTML5 or the async attribute is not supported, you can do the following taken from Thinking Async:
(function(d, t) {
    var g = d.createElement(t),
    s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];
    g.src = '//third-party.com/resource.js';
    s.parentNode.insertBefore(g, s);
}(document, 'script'));

*How to asynchronously load CSS using jQuery?

*Dynamically loading css file using javascript with callback without jQuery

*How to load CSS asynchronously without using JavaScript?

In case you are interested, here is working example of how to use the Servlet 3 asynchronous feature, demonstrating it's intended use, running on JBoss.


It was freezing! The first snow of the year fell just enough for Ryan Jr. to catch one on his tongue. He was so excited. Snow=Winter and Winter=Christmas and Christmas=more Legos! On our walk to Starbucks, for our father-son date, we said "Hi" to a "new friend" asking for money at the traffic light. We had no cash to give, but offered to bring him back a cup of coffee. He seemed genuinely grateful.
As we handed the homeless gentleman his hot coffee, I tried to start a conversation, but he was more interested in returning to his perch between the traffic lanes. I turned to Ryan Jr. and started to say, "Sometimes…" but he cut me off. "I know what you're gonna say, Dad, but all we can do sometimes, is pray for them." I was dumbstruck! On the way back home, Ryan Jr. described deep conversations he had with Jesus the night before. As I had spent the previous 24 hours battling a spirit of fear to the point of exhaustion, it was all I could do to keep the lump in my throat at bay. In this world, a six year can only do so much, but in the spiritual world, a six year old with faith in Jesus is unstoppable!
P.s. The arrival of snow was another testimony of God's faithfulness for Ryan Jr. He had been very sad about moving to South Africa and therefore missing the opportunity to see snow this winter (with South Africa being in the Southern Hemisphere)… days before moving overseas, God answered his prayers and blessed him with a few days of a 'Winter Wonderland'!


As usual, it is time to Skype-in to the Gliebers Dresses Executive meeting.
Glenn Glieber (Owner): "... and she basically became unwilling to change anything. She was unwilling to pay for the loyalty program with savings in catalog pages or circulation reductions, she was unwilling to reduce the paid search budget, she managed an e-mail program that we all think is uncompetitive, and she was publicly badmouthing all of us at every opportunity --- many employees heard the snide comments that she made at the fashion show. So last night, I informed Sarah Wheldon that she is no longer with the company. I'm still waiting for Ms. Wheldon to sign her severance agreement and one year non-compete clause, I'll let you know when that process has been completed."
Glenn Glieber: "Kevin, we decided to let Sarah Wheldon go last night, and I'd like to announce a few additional changes."
Glenn Glieber: "We will immediately begin a global search for the next Chief Marketing Officer of Gleibers Dresses. This is a key position, one that is essential to the success of our brand. We're going to look for an individual that has a balanced perspective between traditional catalog marketing and modern e-commerce and social media. We all know that Sarah lacked some of the modern skills we desperately need, though she was fantastic at marketing a traditional catalog. Until we find the right individual, I would like to announce two job changes. First, Pepper Morgan has been named Interim Chief Marketing Officer. Pepper will retain her creative responsibilities, and will oversee our marketing activities until we assign a new Chief Marketing Officer."
Pepper Morgan (Creative & Marketing): "Thank you everybody, and thank you Glenn for having the confidence in me to do this job. I look forward to working with all of you, and I look forward to implementing some short-term changes that will have a positive impact on the business."
Glenn Glieber: "The other announcement I'd like to make today is the appointment of Candi Layton to our Executive team. Candi has been our Director of Human Resources for the past three years. She will retain this title, and will also take on the role of 'Chief Customer Officer'. In this important new position, Candi will partner with our Executive team on doing the right thing for the customer. We strongly believe that Candy will implement programs that significantly improve customer loyalty."
Candi Layton (Chief Customer Officer), speaking rapidly: "Thank you so much, everybody, thank you, THANK YOU! I am so looking forward to jumping in with both feet and making a difference."
Roger Morgan (Operations): "Congrats, Candi".
Candi Layton (Chief Customer Officer and Human Resources Director), speaking rapidly again: "Everybody, before we wrap-up our meeting, I want to share with you the press release we just sent out regarding the departure of Sarah Wheldon. All employees received this message in the past ten minutes. Here is the press release."
July 13, 2009: Gliebers Dresses, the leading purveyor of fashion dresses in all of New England, is excited to announce a series of management changes designed to launch Gliebers Dresses into the next decade, a decade full of e-commerce and social media promise built on a proven catalog marketing platform.
Pepper Morgan has been named Interim Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Creative Officer. Ms. Morgan will be responsible for implementing the new customer loyalty program, catalog marketing, online marketing, and social media. Ms. Morgan was previously the Chief Creative Officer at Gliebers Dresses, and was the Creative Director at Anna Carter prior to arriving at Gliebers Dresses. Earlier today, Ms. Morgan stated that she is "... thankful for this unprecedented opportunity, and is looking forward to improving customer loyalty at Gliebers Dresses." Gliebers Dresses will immediately begin a global search for the next Chief Marketing Officer.
Candi Layton has been named Director of Human Resources, and Chief Customer Officer. Ms. Layton will be responsible for taking care of the individuals who make Gliebers Dresses the most successful dress purveyor in all of New England --- employees and customers. Ms. Layton said the following: "I've always been an advocate of our biggest asset, our employees. This new position gives me an opportunity to be an advocate for our customers as well. It's a logical fit. I am eagerly looking forward to jumping in with both feet and meeting this important challenge."
At this time, we would like to celebrate the tenure of Sarah Wheldon, our Chief Marketing Officer since 2003. Sarah has chosen to leave Gliebers Dresses in order to pursue other opportunities and to spend more time with her family. We warmly wish Ms. Wheldon her the best of luck.
Sarah spent her entire career at Gliebers Dresses, and was largely responsible for the unbridaled success Gliebers Dresses experienced as a fashion dress cataloger in the mid-1990s. Sarah shepherded Gliebers Dresses as the brand transitioned from a catalog business to a multi-channel retailer. Her contributions fueled the profitability that allows Gliebers Dresses to thrive in the era of e-commerce.
Glenn Glieber, owner of Gliebers Dresses, said of Wheldon's decision to leave the company to pursue other opportunities that he was "... saddened by her decision, but fully understood her desire to spend more time with her family. She represented the ideals and values that made Gliebers Dresses a great company. She will be missed. We all wish her the best of luck, and look forward to seeing how she adapts to this next chapter in her life."
Please direct all media inquiries to Candi Layton.
Hopefully, we'll hear from her in the near future!


The forbidden rice gains all its magical power as the health benefits of it getting unwrapped. It is the only rice to contain the antioxidant known as anthocyanins, which is found in dark-hued fruits and vegetables like blueberries, blackberries, dark grapes, dark cherries, purple brinjals, purple cabbage and purple corn amongst others. Black rice contains high amounts of antioxidants, dietary fibre, minerals and other anti-inflammatory nutrients. It is the richest source of the antioxidant, anthocyanin, which is known to be cancer fighting, beneficial for heart health and inflammatory conditions.
The texture of black rice is a bit heavier as compared to other varieties of rice but its natural flavour is rich and sweet. It has a pleasant, nutty flavour, best enjoyed with coconut milk and in sweetened desserts, particularly rice puddings. Black in colour when harvested, once cooked it turns deep purple. Popular in cuisines in Kerala and North Bengal, it is also a good option to make European salads or Italian dishes like risotto. Currently available at high-end restaurants, it seems to be steadily gathering support.
Slightly tricky to grow in terms of yield, it is harvested only in India and China. In India, it is mainly grown and consumed in Manipur where it is known as Chakhao. It has cultural and traditional significance to the people of Manipur and other parts of Northeast India where no celebration is complete without a delicious serving of black rice. On the occasion of the World Food Day in October, the Indian government also put an action plan in place to promote unique varieties of rice with a prominent status for black rice. As people discover the numerous health benefits that whole grain black rice has to offer and with it being touted as the new cancer fighting super food, which can also prevent heart disease, black rice has a good market potential, especially in the overseas markets, as the demand for the same is growing in the USA, Australia and Europe.

Lawsuit accusing ex-bishop of drunken sexual assault settled
WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) — A lawsuit accusing the former bishop of West Virginia's Roman Catholic diocese of molesting adolescent and adult males has been settled.
Wheeling-Charleston Diocese spokesman Tim Bishop said in a statement the terms of the settlement are confidential.
A former personal altar server sued ex-Bishop Michael Bransfield and the diocese in March, saying he was sexually assaulted in 2014 and harassed for years prior. The filing asserted Bransfield would consume at least half a bottle of liqueur nightly and had drunkenly assaulted or harassed seminarians.
Bransfield resigned in September 2018 amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
In the past year the diocese released the names of 40 priests or deacons credibly accused of sexual misconduct since the 1950s. Bransfield wasn't included.
The state's attorney general has sued the diocese and Bransfield, saying they covered up criminal behavior.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency cuts sink consumer protection against food fraud in Metro Vancouver
22/04/2014 | News Release |
Vancouver (22 April 2014) – The unit of food inspectors dedicated to protecting consumers and retailers in Metro Vancouver from food fraud and unsafe retail food displays has been disbanded.
Metro Vancouver is now the only major metropolitan area in Canada without a dedicated CFIA team of inspectors whose mandate is to protect consumers from false claims about food products, fraudulent product weights, misleading product descriptions and unsafe retail food displays.
The Consumer Protection Unit serving Metro Vancouver has been disbanded in the shadow of Ottawa's plans to cut the CFIA's food safety program by $35 million and 192 food safety positions by 2016/17.
The Metro Vancouver Consumer Protection inspectorate has been allowed to wither from 11 when the program was first established in the mid-1990s to just 4 inspectors today. Victoria and Kelowna have two consumer protection inspectors each, down from three in each city when the program first came on stream.
The Unit was disbanded at the end of January. Today, the remaining inspectors have been embedded in other CFIA teams where they are supposed to pursue consumer protection work.
At the same time, the CFIA is forecasting a much reduced consumer protection inspection plan in Metro Vancouver this year. As a result, local consumers face an increased risk of exposure to food fraud and safety hazards.
"With fewer inspectors, even this reduced plan to prevent consumer fraud and food safety problems will likely be impossible to complete," says Bob Kingston, President of the Agriculture Union – PSAC that represents federal food inspectors.
The 2014 consumer protection inspection plan includes:
Fewer ground meat inspections. This means there will be less checking of fat content, filler and fraudulent species claims (it is not uncommon for some companies to mix pork or other species with their beef).
No oil inspections, even though oil adulteration has been a big problem. Olive oil is often cut with less expensive oils, or extra virgin olive oil cut with regular olive oil .
Fewer independent food retailers will be inspected this year.
Responsibility for inspecting and enforcing laws and regulations related to consumer fraud in food products rests with Canada's food inspection agency, the CFIA. Yet, the agency has a very poor track record when it comes to enforcing the rules or even notifying consumers and retailers when the agency knows they have been broken.
"CFIA is choosing to ignore blatant examples of misleading or fraudulent product claims. The record shows that consumers need protection from some companies who resort to fraudulent and misleading practices. Rather than dismantling its Consumer Protection Unit, the government should be prosecuting companies that defraud consumers," says Bob Jackson, PSAC Regional Vice- President for British Columbia.
The CFIA has been retreating from its consumer protection mandate.
Recently, the Agency ordered its consumer protection inspectors to stop verifying the temperature of products in refrigerated and heated food display cabinets in retail outlets. This is a food safety concern. Product temperatures in display cabinets that are either too high or not low enough can create the risk of food borne illness.
In Ontario, the CFIA's consumer protection unit known as the Fair Labeling Practices Program has been cut by 50%. Just one inspector is now responsible for consumer protection in every retail food outlet in the City of Toronto.
1 inspector, 2 positions vacant
2 inspectors
2 inspectors, 3 positions vacant not being filled
2 inspectors, 2 position vacant
1 inspector
1 position vacant
"Inspectors who belong to these units care deeply about the work the work they do protecting consumers from fraudulent claims and potential threats to safety. They push CFIA executives to enforce the rules and prosecute violators. Without their advocacy, the CFIA will drop consumer protection all together," Kingston said.

The photos are incredible and had me in tears watching them! (Tears of happiness of course.) All the pictures were perfect and even better than we ever imagined!

I am SO pleased we found you - your wedding pictures are one things you should splash out on, they are for always after all. We have also had so many people by the way asking for your web site address as so impressed.... future customers without a doubt!
We are both absolutely lost for words, speechless, and with me this must be impressive! It brought tears to our eyes.

If there was one thing I would recommend for people to buy for their wedding day, it would be BUY a "Rob Burress"!! You made us feel at ease from the moment I originally came in contact with you and were just as much part of our wedding as the guests. We couldn't have been happier with your service and how relaxed you made us feel on the day.
Thanks again for all your efforts on the day. We were particularly impressed with your efficiency in getting the formal shots done. We've been so aware at other weddings of the bride/groom disappearing for hours on top of the family shots seeming to take for ever so we were really pleased to have been able to have so much time with our guests whilst still coming out with great formal shots!

Sponsor Profile: Matthew Byrne | PRG
By CFC Staff February 01, 2018 00:00
Our ongoing series profiles the movers and shakers in the Canadian and international screen-based industries. This month's Sponsor Spotlight features Production Resource Group (PRG), the world's leading provider of entertainment and event solutions, and a new partner of the CFC's 2018 Annual Gala & Auction. To learn more about PRG's innovative services, the CFC spoke with the company's Director of Sales for Canada, Matthew Byrne, CSEP.
CFC: What are three things that everyone should know about PRG?
Matthew Bryne (MB): PRG is the world's leading provider of event and entertainment technology solutions with the ability to scale talent, resources and equipment specific to the needs of our clients' events. PRG made its start in Broadway Theatre and leveraged that creative experience to break into different markets over the last 29 years, including live music and concert touring, film and television, as well as meetings and special events.
When we partner with an organization, we aim to support our partner's overall objective(s) and mission. We strive to be more than just gear in a box; we work with our partners, suppliers and clients to achieve something remarkable while maintaining the artistic vision and objective(s) of the event, while respecting and working within our partner's budget.
Our strength is our people. We have some of the greatest talent in lighting, audio, video, scenic and staging working with us on a daily basis. Whether it is for a large-scale television broadcast production, like the Oscars or the Super Bowl halftime show, or a 500-person gala dinner in Muskoka, ON, our people are what make the show a success.
CFC: What does PRG do that makes it so innovative?
MB: We are constantly investing in technological innovation that is scalable and replicable. Each year, we invest more than 5 million dollars in new product development in entertainment technology. We approach each challenge and development with two mandates: 1) how do we solve the particular challenge that is presented to us in a reasonable and affordable way, and 2) how do we create a solution that is scalable and affordable in the long run. We create custom solutions for large touring shows all over the world, but we also make sure that when that tour is over, the technology that was developed for a specific need can adapt to all of our clients' needs.
CFC: Tell us about PRG's partnership with the CFC.
MB: PRG has a history of supporting the film and television industry worldwide and in Toronto for more than 20 years. This is our first year supporting CFC at the Annual Gala & Auction and we are looking forward to working with them for years to come.
CFC: How has PRG grown as a company as event technology has changed?
MB: Twenty-nine years ago, entertainment technology was just on the brink of an explosion. Back then, we recognized that technology that had typically been either too expensive or to complex for "established" entertainment practices would soon reach a tipping point that would open up great possibilities. Over the years, as video, LED lighting and audio technology developed and evolved, we remained open-minded and open to change to ensure that we never hold ourselves or our clients back in terms of trying something new. Couple that with a strong foundation in production knowledge and expertise, and you have a winning combination for innovation that lasts.
CFC: What advice can you give about working large-scale events and with tight timeframes?
MB: The best advice I would give to anyone producing an event, film shoot, concert or wedding of any scale, is talk early and often – make sure you communicate everything you want to up front. Trust your partners and share as much detail as possible. Too often we see producers wanting to keep their cards close to their chest for fear of revealing too much or waiting until "things are ready" to get us involved. By that time a few decisions have been made that really hamper our ability to offer solutions. When I went to theatre school, I learned there were two types of lighting designers out there: one that would print one copy of the script and tell everyone where to hang each light, or the type of designer that would bring a second copy of the script, cut it up in to four pieces and hand it over to their team, telling them that they were available for questions and advice. Try to be more like that second designer and trust and communicate with your partners.

Former President Jimmy Carter supports cannabis legalization
By Angela Norwood Dec 12, 2012 in Politics
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter discussed his views on the benefits of marijuana legalization during a forum aired Tuesday on CNN.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter expressed his support for marijuana legalization during a CNN forum on Tuesday. "I'm in favor of it. I think it's OK," Carter told CNN reporter Suzanne Malveaux. The former President advocated for marijuana decriminalization during his time in office, and addressed Congress on the issue in 1977:
"Marijuana continues to be an emotional and controversial issue. After four decades, efforts to discourage its use with stringent laws have still not been successful. More than 45 million Americans have tried marijuana and an estimated 11 million are regular users. Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use."
Carter suggests the harsh penalties in some states for marijuana-related offenses lead to high incarceration rates, especially for minorities and those with mental illness. The former President noted that countries with liberal decriminalization policies, such as Portugal, could serve as a good example for the United States. "It's a major step backward, and it ought to be reversed, not only in America, but around the world," says Carter.
Although Carter doesn't believe legalization will happen in his native Georgia anytime soon, he praised states like Washington and Colorado, where cannabis was legalized on Election Day. "A few states in America are good to take the initiative and try something out," he says. Carter suggests these states can show the United States government and its citizens any positive and negative effects of legalization that may arise.
It appears many Americans agree with Carter's view on cannabis legalization. In a recent Gallup poll reported on the Last Word by Lawrence O'Donnell in November, 50 percent of Americans are in favor of marijuana legalization while 46 percent are opposed.
Despite the opinions of politicians like Carter and the number of citizens in favor of legalization, marijuana remains criminalized under the federal Interstate Commerce Clause. Classified as a Schedule I drug, cannabis falls into the same category as drugs including Ecstacy and heroin.

The Following: Season 1: Episode 11: Whips and Regret Review
Vince and Roderick in The Following
With the eleventh episode of The Following underway, we are introduced to another member, Vince, who is a right-wing militia fanatic. Special Agent Debra Parker traces the server for one of the Joe Carroll's fan sites to a server in New York that happens to be stationed in a BDSM (bondage-domination sadomasochism) place. Vince is one of those that enjoy whips, among other things, by her girlfriend who is the owner of the place. After an unsuccessful raid by both Debra Parker and Ryan Hardy, Vince's girlfriend tells them of a Caroll's cult "training" camp nearby, and the FBI place a wire on her as she and Vince meet. The camp is discovered, but casualties on both sides ensue as Vince escapes as the FBI comes bearing down. The backstory of Molly is further explored as she is a mercy killer at a local hospital with evil intent. In fact, she wants to one-up Joe Carroll. Finally, Roderick is put in his place — with blood.
This is one of the most intriguing and un-family-friendly episodes there is. Although BDSM places have quite the following in Europe, being broadcasted as one in the United States may not be everyone's tastes. The training the Carroll's cult members undergo is a bit disturbing and excessive as the members have already volunteered to join Joe Carroll's cult. It is a bit ritualistic, I suppose, as in hazing of the new members perhaps. It teaches them submission and endurance to survive torture — or worse. Kevin Williamson upped the ante in this episode, and it was one of the better episodes this season by far.
