Bank of the Pacific Modernizes its Employee Portal with Banc Intranets
- Selection of BancWorks® employee intranet based on features, flexibility and "because they know banks," says bank VP and project manager -
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn., May 16, 2017 – Banc Intranets, a provider of secure, web-based enterprise content management solutions for financial institutions, announced that Bank of the Pacific ($871 million, Aberdeen, Wash.) is leveraging its BancWorks® employee intranet to centralize employee communications and maintain an organized, easy-to-navigate repository of important announcements, documents and procedures across its 18 branches in the Pacific Northwest.
Having outgrown its HTML-based intranet, Bank of the Pacific sought to modernize communications and access to information for its more than 200 employees. After considering multiple solutions, the bank chose BancWorks for its ability to eliminate data redundancy and centralize important information and updates, and because the system allows each department to manage its own pages independently and can be operated on-premises, providing additional control. The bank also cited Banc Intranets' specialized expertise and familiarity with banks as a deciding factor.
"We've grown rapidly in recent years and needed a way to keep information centralized, current and accessible to employees – whether they've been here for a day or for a decade – while also removing the burden on our IT department so that they can focus their efforts more efficiently," said Kris Liedtke, VP and project manager of Bank of the Pacific. "BancWorks is the answer. It's user-friendly and allows departments to communicate directly, while also cataloging information to ensure that everyone is up to speed on internal and external initiatives."
"Streamlined day-to-day communications is the heartbeat of any financial institution and to remain successful, a growing bank must have information management systems that pace its expansion," said Mark Anderson, founder and CEO of Banc Intranets. "By prioritizing efficiency in how internal information is managed and distributed, Bank of the Pacific is building upon its existing foundation of exceptional service and enhances the methods by which it serves the financial needs of its community."

Getting married in a private home can be an attractive option whether the couples is on a budget or has unlimited resources. They may want to be married in the home in which one of them grew up, the first house they bought together, the cousin's house where they met on a blind date, or the friend's house with the gorgeous backyard on the river.
While it can be a cost effective way to have a gorgeous wedding, you are pretty much on your own unless you hire a professional to handle all of the details for you. Some people opt for home weddings because they want to minimize the stress of wedding planning only to find they have taken on much more work than they anticipated.
I do recommend hiring wedding professionals as they can be worth their cost in stress-relief alone. Private homes are not designed to be event venues and wedding professionals can use their experience and expertise to make the appropriate adaptions to convert the home into a suitable spot for a wedding.
Couples on a tight budget may not have that luxury, so I can offer a bit of advance for those going the Do-It-Yourself route. I'll start with general advice and get a little more specific in Parts 2 and 3.
First of all, I have never officiated a home wedding that started on time. They all start late, often significantly so! This is the one exception I think is appropriate when conveying a "false time" on a wedding invitation. If the ceremony is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. tell the guests "the festivities" begin at 1:30. Even when sending formal invitations, guests are much more casual about arriving on time for a home wedding.
The typical pre-ceremony chaos also seems to be somehow magically magnified at a private home. Getting people organized and ready to begin is just flat out more difficult at home than at a church, hotel, or country club. The phrase "herding cats" springs to mind.
Since private homes are not designed as event spaces, you will need to make some accommodations to transform a house into a wedding venue. Renting extra seating, a tent, and/or outdoor space heaters or fans depending upon the weather might be a good idea.
Most definitely consult with the town or city government to find out if any permits or insurance are required. Whether insurance is a requirement or not, get some! The home owner should immediately hop on the phone and obtain an event rider on their homeowners policy.
Take the time to walk through the property a few times and look at it with several perspectives in mind. Are there hazards for small children who may be present? Is it accessible to guests with mobility issues? Will there be any electrical or plumbing issues for the number of guests expected to attend? Will parking in some areas restrict easy access to the home? Is there a pool that would pose a problem for children and non-swimmers? Are there scrubby areas or yard debris that may attract unwanted indigenous creatures? Should the yard be sprayed for mosquitoes and other biting insects before the wedding? Consider the guests comfort and safety!
This may seem obvious, but I have experienced a few weddings where this was overlooked. A clean house is a better wedding venue. But who wants to clean house on the day of their wedding? Come to think of it, who wants to clean house period. Consider hiring a cleaning service to prepare the house or ask friends and relatives for their help. If getting married in their own home, the couple really do not want to add to their anxiety with concern for the state of the home or have to scrub toilets thirty minutes before the guests are due to arrive.

Simple, but elegant!
My comments are unlikely to come as a shock to most people since according to a CBS poll this past June, 80% of Americans share my conviction we spend entirely too much on weddings. Out of sheer curiosity I went to costofwedding.com and looked up how much a wedding in my area costs. Cue jaw drop.
Couples that live in or travel to Brevard County, Florida spend between $17,732 and $29,554 on average for their wedding. We are a popular destination spot with our lovely beaches, so about 43% do spend less than $10,000, I'm assuming because they are eloping or are inviting fewer than 50 guests.
At the national level, Americans are spending $25,656 for their wedding with the majority of couples spending between $19,242 and $32,070. As I suspected, we are slightly below the national average, but still pricey! Although I find the price tag steep, that is not what concerns me most about the wedding industry today.
I visit wedding planning sites and participate on bridal forums to keep current on wedding trends, gain advice from colleagues, and share what I have learned over the years. Consequently, I think I have a grasp on what couples are facing when planning a wedding today and I am appalled. I certainly recall being concerned with the budget and experiencing the natural anxiety that comes with decision-making. I was not, however, completely wrapped around the axle over endless details and a sense of overwhelming obligation I detect in brides (and grooms) today.
Many times a day I wish I could reach through my computer, put my arms around a panicked bride, and reassure her that whatever she decides to do for her wedding will be just fine. No, she does not have to provide favors for her guests. No, there is no requirement for an open bar to accommodate drinkers when all she can afford is beer and wine. No, she does not have to have a single bridesmaid, let alone five! People will not remember if she had personalized napkins or not.The notion of the window dressings of a wedding being requirements is absurd.
The excess is distressing. Particularly since the reception has far outstripped the ceremony in terms of focus. While I love a good party as much as the next person, I am concerned the reason for the occasion is being somewhat obscured with this obsession with detail. And the detail has to be contributing to the hefty wedding price tag.

Not illustrating the topic, just a sweet wedding photo!
Weddings are frightfully expensive. I have read a number of "average wedding costs" articles on-line and in bridal magazines and my jaw drops whenever I see the numbers after the dollar sign. I will save explaining why using average wedding costs to establish a budget for your wedding is a bad idea for a later column. Recently I was asked my opinion about using talented friends instead of hiring professionals as a way to save costs. Friend. Vendor. Friendor. So is it a good way to nip and tuck that budget or not?
It can be a brilliant idea or a dreadful one. There are a few things you need to consider in order to make an informed decision.
First of all, whether you use a friend or hire a stranger you absolutely must make sure you have a good contract in place. Yes, even if your friends are not charging you for their services. I recommend "paying" at least $1.00 so there is a commercial transaction of record. You are blurring boundaries and altering the nature of your relationship for a duration of time, so you need to set clear guidelines concerning expectations. Theirs and yours! No, you may not need to do this for your friend who volunteers to make place cards for you, but you certainly want one for the friend tending bar or providing the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres.
You should consider whether your friend has the necessary experience to meet or exceed your expectations. If your friend is in the wedding industry, it may make sense to take advantage of their services. I suggest treating the potential for booking their services as you would their competitors. Compare them to other options and see if you feel they would be a good fit. Don't presume to ask for a discount, but by all means, graciously accept it if they offer. Do not be disappointed if they don't however. This is their livelihood and that should be respected.
If your friend is an amateur or does similar skills in an unrelated industry, you may want to take some more time making your decision. Will the savings be worth what you are likely to sacrifice in quality? If it's an aspect of your wedding that is a lower priority for you, it may be fine. If it's the one thing you absolutely want to be spot on perfect, opt for a professional.
There are a few categories of wedding professional I am inclined to wave people off from using friends almost entirely. Surprisingly, the officiant isn't one of those wedding professionals. I have addressed how to choose the right amateur as your officiant and can easily see why a friend could do this job well enough....under the right circumstances.
You want to take exceptional care when deciding whether or not to use a friend for your photographer, videographer, DJ, and caterer. For one thing, this is a wedding professional who is working hard on the day of the wedding for many hours. Your friend will not be able to be both a guest and work for you at the same time. If this is someone you would ordinarily invite to your wedding without giving it a second thought...don't use them as a friendor. If it is more of an acquaintance who might or might not be high on the guest list...than it might be okay. A friend who is a florist can easily work on your arrangements before the event, deliver them, and then relax and enjoy the festivities. Your DJ friend does not have that option.
Photographers, videographers, DJs (musicians), and caterers have varying degrees of talent and artistry. You should select friends or professionals who match your tastes and produce work you admire and fits your style. If friends offer their services to you at reduced prices or even better, free, but you are not enamored of their portfolio or work...it is no bargain. You may feel a little squeamish about turning down a friend's offer to work your wedding, but you have to get over that and simply say, "thanks, but no thanks."
Friendors are perfectly acceptable when everyone understands their respective roles and gladly takes on the responsibilities and obligations that go along with it. If not, there is a disaster waiting to happen. I once stayed for an hour after a ceremony and took portraits of the wedding party and family on my camera since the bride's friend who had agreed to photograph their wedding failed to show. Well, actually he did pull up right as I was getting in my car to drive home. He was a friendor who volunteered as their photographer for free and still was not worth what he was getting paid.
Penny wise pound foolish springs to mind when it comes to friendors. Choose wisely!
Friendor: (n.) any friend, acquaintance, great-uncle, co-worker's boyfriend, cousin's girlfriend, etc. who offers or agrees to provide products and services at reduced cost or free that you would normally contract with a professional to do.

As if budgeting and paying for a wedding isn't stressful enough! At some point during the planning process, bridal couples come across the subject of tips...and many promptly freak.
Take a deep breath and let go of tipping as a requirement. Gratuities are an expression of gratitude and should come from the heart. They are a lovely gesture for anyone, employee or business owner (many of us are sole proprietors), who exceeds your expectations. Gratuities are an excellent way to express your appreciation to an individual who does something that makes your wedding day particularly special, or solves a problem averting a disaster.
Gratuities needn't be distributed the day of the wedding. If someone has particularly impressed you prior to the wedding, than by all means have a tip for them handy and give it to him or her on the spot. But as you cannot anticipate what the day will be like, it is perfectly acceptable to send a gratuity later. If it had not been for the DJ and his wife, my own wedding reception would have been an utter catastrophe. We sent them a gift we had picked out especially for them on our honeymoon shortly after we returned home. As an officiant, I have received gratuities anywhere from the day of the rehearsal to a one year anniversary. Every single one was a nice surprise, not an expected payment.
Don't think of gratuities in terms of customary amounts or as a percentage of the wedding professional's original fee. Any gesture, large or small, is sincerely and deeply appreciated. It is a tangible way of letting them know their efforts to go above and beyond were both noticed and sincerely appreciated. Here are examples of some things I have received as "gratuities."
While not obligated to tip wedding professionals, I do recommend couples set aside a line item in their budget for gratuities...just in case. You never know when something could happen that warrants one. Make a point of sending it after the wedding at the same time you send your thank you notes so you don't forget. I know that twenty years later, I still don't feel like I did enough to thank my DJ and his wife.

Jesse and Courtney's wedding at the Hilton Melbourne Beach
I recently encountered someone on a wedding forum who said, "I have found here in Orlando that Friday, Saturday and Sunday weddings are almost double the price of a Monday through Thursday wedding."
I responded, "It's not that Friday, Saturday and Sunday are almost double the price of Monday through Thursday, it's that week day weddings are almost half the price of weekend weddings."
Although my comments were tongue-in-cheek (and I did follow up with additional information waving off the literalism of "half"), there is some truth to the way I phrased it. Most wedding professionals consider their weekend rates to be their standard prices simply because that is when they do the bulk of their work. They honestly do not see it as inflating their fees for peak weekend times, but rather may be willing to discount a fair wage for off-peak weekday events. Notice I used the word "may." Keep in mind that a company's cost of doing business doesn't decline simply because it's Wednesday rather than Saturday. Their supplies, employees, transportation costs, etc. are not day of the week dependent. The amount of work they do for a Tuesday wedding is no different from a Sunday wedding either.
While some may gladly discount during the week, wedding professionals do not reduce their rates by half and should not be asked to do so. Remember your vendors are typically small businesses or sole proprietors who strive to strike a balance between providing a good value to their customers while making a fair profit that translates into a living wage. When is the last time you saw a wedding photographer, DJ, caterer, or officiant listed in Forbes top 500 wealthiest people?
A week day wedding is a great way to optimize a wedding budget, though there are pros and cons you should consider to decide if it will work well for your needs and expectations.
Week day weddings won't work well for every couple. But if you have a guest list comprised of friends and family who are able to accommodate the schedule, it is a great way to save money. You can take advantage of discounts and it does help keep the guest list under control. The latter being the biggest cost savings you can count on for a week day wedding.

I receive a lot of questions regarding the cost associated with weddings. The nature of these inquires has spiked with respect to the frustrations of planning a simple affair. One bride recently responded, "Oh you have to blog this!" Which was a bit of a relief since what I told her was something she didn't really want to hear. So without further ado, let's proceed to the Q & A.
Q: I don't understand why our vendors are not willing to give us a price break since we're having a small wedding. Why do we have to pay the same as someone with twice the number of guests?
Rev. Ann Fuller: Let's break down two components of this question. First of all, the definition of small is relative. I consider a small wedding to be one that has less than about 20 guests. I have encountered oodles of couples who seem to think small means less than 100. Eighty guests comprise a hefty gap in our mutual understanding. Keep in mind that what you consider small may be a medium-sized, or even large, wedding to someone else. Here's my general guideline....but mine alone.
Next, consider the type of wedding vendor. For some of us, the amount of work involved is roughly the same no matter how many guests you invite. I have made concessions with my officiating fee for private and intimate weddings that do not require much coordination with other vendors on site and are virtually guaranteed to start on time. However, I pour the same amount of effort into the preparations for a private ceremony that I do for a massive wedding.
Smaller wedding festivities that are short in duration may enable you to save money with the vendors who charge by the hour. Since economies of scale are lost, you may end up paying more per guest than someone with a longer guest list for some things. Overall though, inviting fewer guests still remains one of the best ways to reduce wedding expenditures.
Please don't be offended when wedding vendors cannot accommodate discount requests just because you consider your wedding to be small. The size of your wedding may have little to no impact on the degree of work necessary for them to be part of bringing your dream wedding to reality. Even if it is a modest affair.
Q: We just want it short and simple, can you cut us a deal?
Rev. Ann Fuller: This question also contains vague and relative terms. What is short and simple to one person isn't necessarily so to someone else. You can indeed find wedding vendors who charge less for shorter wedding celebrations. Hiring a photographer for an hour to shoot just the ceremony and take a few portraits is less expensive than hiring one to photograph you for eight hours from getting ready to last dance.
As far as offficiating goes, most couples who tell me they want a short ceremony have in mind a fifteen minute wedding. It doesn't sound like a long time, but this is actually about the length of an average ceremony. Even many religious Rites of Marriage in a house of worship rarely exceed twenty minutes or so. Therefore, "we want a short ceremony" is virtually meaningless to an independent officiant because they are almost all "short" by this standard.
For me personally, the difference between an "average" and a "short" ceremony is perhaps a reduction of 5 - 15 minutes of my time over the minimum of at least six hours of work that go into officiating a typical wedding.
Q: I'm only planning just a small, short, and simple wedding. I'm trying to find vendors, but no one seems to be returning my emails or phone messages. Am I not worth their time or courtesy?
Rev. Ann Fuller: Contacting vendors with that sentence as your opening line could be the problem. I love small, short, simple weddings and most vendors do too. The emotional energy of these occasions is generally a little more relaxed than larger celebrations.
However, I have long since realized people who inquire about my services with "just a small, short and simple..." are uttering code for "I'm not prepared to pay you what you are worth, so get ready for me to try to beat you down in price." I do sincerely apologize if that sounds a bit crude, and I promise I never let an email or voice mail message go unanswered, but time and again this has proven to be the case. Often times, further conversation reveals the wedding in question is actually not what I would personally consider small, short, or simple.
When you make initial contact with vendors, just tell them you are planning a wedding and inquiring about their availability and services. The resulting conversation will allow both of you to arrive at a mutual understanding of your expectations and enable the vendor to provide you with a realistic quote.
A truly Small, Short, and Simple Wedding is spot on perfect for many couples, but some considerations need to be made. While they are less expensive as a general rule, they can take the same amount of planning (i.e. stress!) as the average wedding. Particularly if you are maintaining all of the common traditions, just inviting fewer people.
As for cutting deals because you have a 3S Wedding, think of it this way: You are paying the same for your dress whether twenty people or two hundred get to see you in it. By contrast, you're going to pay a lot less for twenty dinners than you would for two hundred. Your other vendors operate under the same conditions, it just may not be as readily apparent. By all means inquire if your prospective vendors have price breaks depending upon the scope of your festivities. But please do not be frustrated or disappointed if they do not, keeping in mind their overall effort may not be dependent upon the number of people in attendance.

"By building better race cars, automakers are ultimately able to deliver better production cars. So, in 2005, when students at the Ohio State University Center for Automotive Research approached Ford Motor Company about collaborating on a hydrogen fuel cell car capable of setting a land speed record, the automaker jumped at the opportunity. Just months before, the same group of innovative OSU scholars set a land speed record (315 mph) for electric cars. The Ford/Buckeye hydrogen fuel cell collaboration, the 999 Hydrogen Fusion, was unveiled this past July."(You can see the article where they broke the 200mph barrier for fuel cell cars here)

Katarina Gaenssler, group show, 'Showcase' at Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Schatzkammern
Titled SHOWCASE, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek presents selected exhibits from its collection of artists' books, which was started in 1915 and has today reached a top rank on an international level. A quarter of a century has passed since the exhibition "Papiergesänge. Buchkunst im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert" ("Vocal papers. Book art in the twentieth century"). Today, the collection encompasses around 13,000 objects.
SHOWCASE makes reference to the glass cases in which the exhibits can be viewed by the visitors, but also indicates that these objects of contemporary art are collected exemplarily and individually in order to be "shown", to be exhibited, presented for browsing, but also within the meaning of a "case" for perception, for contemplation. SHOWCASE pursues the goal to effectively bring to bear the dynamism and multi-faceted expressiveness of these books, which are autonomous works of art.
*A symposium within the framework of the exhibition will be held October 23 and 24, 2017.

Father Larry Eddingfield
I was born in Alhambra, California, the eldest of three sons, and grew up 20 miles from my birthplace in West Covina, California. I've been an active participant and leader in the Boy Scout program, high school activities, college fraternity as well as several business organizations. I enjoy both body and board surfing and hiking in the mountains.
My parents raised us in the Episcopal Church and taught us our moral values of humility, courage, honesty, loyalty, and integrity and to help those in need. When I was18 years old, the Curate at our local church had great impact on my life as I went through the Confirmation process; and during my first Communion I felt the Lord's presence and was overwhelmed by His grace.
Commissioned an Ensign in the United States Navy in 1967, I served 31 years in the Navy, serving as a surface warfare officer commanding destroyers, a cruiser, and a destroyer squadron. I also had the privilege of serving as Deputy and Chief of Staff for all Surface Forces in the Pacific Fleet. Prior to retiring I was in charge of at-sea training for all surface forces in the Pacific Fleet. I was also honored as the recipient of the Navy League's John Paul Jones Award for Inspirational Leadership.
One of the most important things I learned in the Navy was a common saying of my mentors, "take care of those under your authority and responsibility and they will take care of you". I have found this to be very solid advice.
Following my retirement from the Navy I entered seminary and attended both Bethel Seminary in San Diego and Episcopal Theological School at Claremont, CA. I graduated from Bethel Seminary in 2002 and was ordained a priest in December 2002. I served as a deacon and then the associate pastor at St. Mary's in the Valley Church until the end of 2004. In January 2005, I was called to be the associate pastor at St. Timothy's Church in Rancho Penasquitos. And then called to be the associate pastor at Christ The King Church in Carmel Mountain Ranch.
My best friend and wife, Barbara, of 43 years is from Caldwell, Idaho and we have been blessed with two wonderful sons. Our eldest, Larry II, is an Army aviator, flying helicopters at Ft. Irwin, CA, and is married to Val, a wonderful Christian girl from Alabama. Our youngest, Ryan, is a Marine Biologist teaching at Torrey Pines High School. He is married to Erinn another wonderful Christian girl from Texas.
Christ has provided Barbara and me with many opportunities to serve Him in our lives thus far. We are looking forward to the future opportunities He will provide for us as He empowers us to be His heart, hands and legs as He builds the body of Christ.
Father John King
I asked Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior while in college. After attending Promise Keepers in 1995 I began to understand there was more to being a Christian than having once prayed a prayer and then periodically attending church. Over time, I discerned God's calling to become a priest. This long but fruitful journey that has taken place over three churches and 2 countries.
I am bi-vocational, with 28 years serving as a pediatrician in the U.S. Navy, specializing in children with developmental disabilities, with plans to retire in 2019. I have had the privilege of participating in humanitarian missions offering medical services to 9 countries in Central/South American and the Caribbean as well as Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
I have been married to my wonderful wife Marji for 28 years. My daughter and son-in-law just gave birth to my first grandchild, Elijah! My family has lived in Ramona for a little over a year now, and we love country life.
My passions in ministry include: men's ministry; discipleship and spiritual direction; Kairos prison ministry; Multicultural ministry; short-term missions; and rural/small town churches. I have been involved in Cursillo for many years and am currently serving as Spiritual Director for the Secretariat. I am also a member of the Diocesan Executive Committee.

THE Tories and Lib Dems have handed back a £520,000 donation from an elderly woman's will, after a row over who should get the cash.
Joan LB Edwards died last year and bequeathed the huge sum to "whichever Government is in office...to use as they may think fit".
Both parties came under fire from Labour's Jim Murphy after they jointly accepted the money as a political donation.
The Shadow Defence Secretary tweeted that the arrangement, which saw the money being split between both parties according to their number of MPs, looked "dodgy as hell".
Both parties rushed to give their donation back to the Treasury yesterday.
A Tory spokesman said: "The solicitors for the deceased, acting as the executors, informed the Conservative Party that it was a beneficiary.
"However, to put the matter beyond doubt, we have decided to pass the money to the Treasury.
"As with all other donations to the Exchequer, the money will be used to reduce the national debt."
Murphy said the Coalition parties had been shamed into returning the cash.
He said: "Joan Edwards gave years of her life to the NHS and left thousands in her will as a gift to the nation.By pocketing this money, the Tories have shown total arrogance. Money that was meant to pay for public services was about to be used for Tory propaganda.
"It reminds us just how out of touch they really are. They now need to publish all the paperwork so that we know who made this decision"
Speaking during a visit to the Commonwealth Games site in Glasgow, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "It is a slightly confusing situation.
"As I understand it, the executors of the will decided it was right to pay the money to the parties of Government.
"But I think when you look at the wording of the will, it seems to us the intention was more to benefit the nation.
"So what the Conservative Party has done with our part of the donation is give it to the Treasury so it can help to pay down the national debt.
"This, I think, meets the spirit of what this very generous lady meant."

Ride in a Ferrari for cancer research
Search Driven for Ferrari for sale
The Ferrari Owners Club is auctioning rides in 36 Ferraris, including six supercars, in a cavalcade to raise funds for charity in Auckland tomorrow morning.
The cars will be assembled at Continental Car Services Ferrari's Newmarket showroom to raise funds for the Gastro-intestinal Cancer Institute.
The auction winners will have a chance to view all $20million worth of Ferraris in the Cavalcade and acquaint themselves with their ride for the day, before the cavalcade heads to Whenuapai air base.
Lunch will then be served in the RNZAF Whenuapai Sports Club hall where we will present a cheque to the GICI Charity.
The institute (www.gicinz.org.nz) aims to raise awareness of a group of cancers that affect the digestive system, which the institute says are collectively NZ's most common form of cancer.

You could always, you know, not drink vodka. It being the favored drink of commies and everything.
I'm partial to the various types of whisk(e)y. Scotch whisky is always a favorite, and ironically appropriate for the Fourth, given the rebellious nature of the Scots and their role in the founding of this country. Irish whiskey would be appropriate for the same reason. Of course, good old fashioned Jack Daniels Old No. 7 is always a good choice to celebrate America.

I saw The Apple Sisters the other night at Largo at the Coronet, and you must rush to their next show, April 20th. They are three singer/comediennes who are "from the 40s," and they do different variety shows. There are skits, running gags, improvs, and terrific singing. It is campy fun, and a wonderful way to spend an evening.
The Apple Sisters were created by three women who met in acting/improv classes in New York, and their act has been wowing them on the comedy circuit. Kimmy Gatewood, Rebekka Johnson, and Sarah Drew each have their characters and they knock it out of the park. Don't miss them. The LA Times and all the reviewers in the major cities love them!

Rawleigh v. Canada Safeway Limited, 2009 AHRC 6 (CanLII)
Mr. Rawleigh was employed at Canada Safeway Limited for over 27 years in a variety of different capacities. In June of 2002, Mr. Rawleigh was employed as a full-time general clerk at Safeway store 2211 in Calgary, Alberta. Mr. Rawleigh was working at this location in the same capacity when his human right complaint was submitted. The complainant's wife, Ms. Rawleigh, has a degenerative eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa. This condition causes night blindness, reduced visual field and can eventually lead to legal blindness. Due to his wife's medical condition Mr. Rawleigh sought accommodation in the workplace, asking that he not be rotated onto night shifts like other general clerks. The complainant maintained that due to his wife's medical condition he needed to be home at night to take care of his three young children and wife. During the time period of 2002-2004 the complainant did not have to rotate on to nights shifts. There is disagreement as to how this occurred. The complaint maintains there was a shift exemption in place while the Safeway representative testified that he could not remember whether this was the case or not. During the course of his employment Mr. Rawleigh's wife suffered a further medical emergency when she was diagnosed with Chiari 1 malformation. Related to this medical emergency, Mr. Rawleigh requested a Leave of Absence (LOA). In requesting this leave Mr. Rawleigh was met with resistance (i.e. had to take his remaining vacation as part of the leave, discouraged from taking the leave due to time of year and business). After returning from his leave of absence Mr. Rawleigh was contacted by Safeway about his ability to rotate on to night shifts, given that there was no documented exemption according to Safeway. Mr. Rawleigh provided Safeway with new medical documentation regarding his wife's current medical condition. In response to this new documentation, Safeway offered the complainant a transfer from the position of a full-time general clerk to that of a full-time cashier as a means to accommodate his family issues, since cashiers do not have to work night shifts. The movement from a clerk to that of a cashier would result in a job re-classification and a cut in hourly pay from $17.59 to $16.77. Despite other suggestions of accommodation put forward by Mr. Rawleigh this was the only accommodation put forward by Safeway. In February of 2005, Mr. Rawleigh requested that he be transferred from full-time status to part-time status. This change was requested in an effort to avoid night time shifts. Mr. Rawleigh's request for part-time status was granted. In this case it was found that Mr. Rawleigh was discriminated against based on family status. In addition, it was concluded that Safeway Canada did not provide reasonable accommodations to Mr. Rawleigh to the point of undue hardships.
Question(s) to be Determined:
1. Did the respondent discriminate against the complainant on the grounds of family status?
2. Assuming prima facie discrimination, did the respondent fulfill their duty to accommodate Mr. Rawleigh, including exploring all the reasonable accommodation options, to the point of undue hardship?
1. Did the respondent discriminate against the complainant on the grounds of family status?
2. Assuming prima facie discrimination, did the respondent fulfill their duty to accommodate Mr. Rawleigh, including exploring all the reasonable accommodation options, to the point of undue hardship?
1. In this case it was found that Canada Safeway Limited discriminated against Mr. Rawleigh on the ground of family status. It was stated that "The Panel acknowledges that the employer, Safeway, for genuine business reasons, adopted the standards of a rotation through the night crew for general clerks. This stance was echoed in the terms of the Collective Agreement. This standard is neutral in its face and was applied equally to all the employees who were in the same job classification as the complainant. However, the complainant had a unique family status situation, which made the implementation of this standard discriminatory to the complainant's unique needs" (para 237).
2. It was found that Canada Safeway Limited did not fulfill their duty to accommodate Mr. Rawleigh, including exploring all the reasonable accommodation options, to the point of undue hardship. Citing Safeway's reluctance to consider alternative forms of accommodation it was stated that "the respondent made it abundantly clear that the cashier position was the only position that operationally met its needs. The Courts have said that no one can expect a perfect solution, yet at the same time they acknowledged that the decision should not be one-sided, which the Panel believes was the case here" (para 334).
It was further stated that "Safeway didn't even test the degree of hardship that they might have experienced had they attempted to accommodate the complainant outside of the offer of the cashier position. They chose to rely upon impressionistic evidence which closed the door to the exploration of any other accommodations. They chose the safe, convenient and operationally beneficial option: a reclassification and cut in pay without even entertaining any other potentially viable options. The Union and the complainant were prepared to work with Safeway to find a position that would accommodate everyone. Safeway had an opportunity through which to demonstrate progressive employee relations by working with their employee and Union in finding a creative solution. Instead, Safeway retreated into a regressive and hard-line approach, citing operational considerations for their lone offer of accommodation" (para 337).
In the decision no remedies were rendered. Brenda Chomey, the panel chair requested "written submissions regarding compensation for lost wages, pension and benefits as well as the rationale for the length of time this compensation is being sought, March 1, 2005 until the end of 2007. 30 days will be provided from the date of the decision to submit the responses" (para 343).

Information privacy is an important policy and social consideration.
The word surveillance comes from the French verb "surveiller", which, when translated, means "to watch over". [1] Sociologist and surveillance scholar David Lyon defines surveillance as "any collection and processing of personal data, whether identifiable or not, for the purposes of influencing or managing those whose data have been garnered". [2] Increasingly, information gathering and surveillance technologies are becoming more and more common as part of everyday life and routines. [3]
Children and youth who use the Internet are highly attuned to surveillance practices. [1] Research conducted by MediaSmarts demonstrates that for young Canadians surveillance is part of everyday life. While youth once considered the Internet to be a private space where they and their peers could play, communicate, and experiment, these attitudes have largely disappeared: on the contrary, youth now regard the Internet as a completely monitored space. [2] This surveillance of youth is primarily conducted by parents, teachers/schools, and corporations.
Children and youth are a huge potential market for corporations.
There is a common misconception that youth are not concerned with privacy. On the contrary, though, there is significant evidence to suggest that privacy is a major concern among youth, particularly when it comes to their actions online. [1] As a result of this concern, young Canadians have developed a wide range of techniques to resist surveillance or negotiate their own privacy.
Contrary to the popular beliefs of many adults, youth do care about their privacy.
Internationally, a wide range of legislation has been developed in order to manage and protect individual's personal information. Canada's public and private sector are governed separately in terms of privacy protection.
The Parenting the Digital Generation workshop looks at the various activities kids love to do online and offers tips and strategies for everything from Facebook privacy settings, online shopping, cyberbullying, to protecting your computer from viruses.
The Raising Ethical Kids For a Networked World tutorial examines some of the moral dilemmas that kids face in their online activities and shares some strategies to help them build the social and emotional intelligence that's needed to support ethical decision making – and build resiliency if things go wrong.
Intended for girls in grades 7-9, Half Girl, Half Face explores many of the online image issues teenage girls may encounter when they use digital media – particularly social networks.

AAUW Medina County has been in the forefront of creating awareness of this issue, both in programming to inform residents of the pervasive problem and in the formation of the Medina County Coalition Against Human Trafficking.
We maintain a membership in the Coalition, have representatives at its meetings and programs and actively work to support its mission. We sponsor teams who routinely call on area hotels/ motels to deliver recent publications of missing children and touch base with hotel staff about human trafficking information.
Hold the Date:
Saturday, January 25, 2020 for
Medina County Human Trafficking Awareness Day
To be held in Wadsworth. More information to be announced
Past Events
2019's Human Trafficking Awareness Event was held in January at the Comfort Inn in Wadsworth. Presenters Suzanne Lewis-Johnson and Greg Colbeck represented RAHAB (Reaching Above Hopelessness And Brokenness) of Akron. Lewis-Johnson, now CEO at RAHAB is a former FBI Agent; Colbeck is Operations Manager. Attendees included paramedics, health care providers, social workers, law enforcement personnel, court officers, volunteers and hotel staff.
Medina Branch was a sponsor of the 4th Annual Nate Vermote 5K and 1 mile Run/Walk on July 29 to support the Medina County Coalition against Human Trafficking. Members and spouses participated in the walk/run and served as event assistants.
The 2018 Human Trafficking Awareness Workshop spotlighted Dr.Tanisha L. Knighton, independent consultant and national trainer from Cleveland. Her experience with missing children, with the courts and law enforcement enabled her to share a view of human trafficking from the inside. Frank and at times "unsettling", she brought this ever-growing industry to light with photos, headlines and terminology.
The Medina Coalition Against Human Trafficking held its 2017 Awareness Workshop on April 20. Attending were over 100 teachers, social workers, EMT personnel, persons in law enforcement and other interested members of the community. Carol Thombs and Pat Chaloupek represented AAUW; Thombs is also a member of the Coalition and serves as SOAP chair, making sure that area motels are regularly visited with updates on missing children and furnishing them with mini bars of soap imprinted with the HT hotline.
Keynote speaker was Rachel Kaisk, a survivor who was trafficked from the Barberton area when she was a teenager. A need for love and attention led her into being trafficked, one of the conditions that makes teens susceptible to this crime. She gave a frank overview of her bondage and emphasized that the three ingredients for trafficking are greed, demand and vulnerability.
Important to her recovery was support and counseling given by the Renee Jones Empowerment Center on Cleveland's west wide. Founder Renee Jones also addressed the workshop, emphasizing that "awareness saves lives." The biggest needs for victims are a safe place to go and peer support and counseling. The Center provides a variety of therapies–including horse therapy–and support groups which are similar to AA programs. "It is a lifetime program," Jones said, "helping people to learn how to live normal lives again." Included is prevention, education and awareness, court advocacy and supervision to help victims.
In 2016, the Coalition sponsored the half-day "Human Trafficking Workshop: Freeing the Modern Slaves," featuring Theresa Flores, author, advocate and human trafficking survivor. She spoke on how teens are targeted and get caught in the business of sexual slavery. She also discussed the origin of the S.O.A.P. Program (Save Our Adolescents from Prostitution) which she conceived as a hands-on outreach program to fight sex trafficking at large events and in communities. We learned how teams in our area are working to disperse information and bars of soap with contact information for the Sex Trafficking Hot Line at hotels and motels.

(BRADENTON, Fla.) — The life of the world's oldest captive manatee came to an end at the South Florida Museum on Saturday, one day after his 69th birthday.
Born in 1948, Snooty was the center of attention on Friday and the keeper of a manatee milestone worth celebrating. According to the non-profit Save the Manatee Club, the large marine mammals usually live up to 60 years or more in captivity.
But news of the marine mammal's death one day later created a much different mood at the museum in Bradenton, Florida.
"Today we are getting an outpouring of love and support from our community and all of Snooty's fans," South Florida Museum CEO Brynne Anne Besio said at a news conference on Saturday.
According to museum officials, aquarium staff noticed on Saturday morning that an underwater hatch used to access plumbing in the manatee tank had been knocked loose and was opened.
"It appears that Snooty was able to get into the area, but was not able to extract himself from that situation," South Florida Museum COO Jeff Rodgers said.
Rodgers said that by the time staff reached the 69-year-old manatee, he was no longer alive.
Besio said that the museum is reviewing the situation and will "conduct a full investigation into the circumstances."

Palisade 400 x 250 mm
The round WARCO palisades are available in four heights, from 40 to 100 cm. All of them are characterised by a very stable construction (25 cm in diameter), an integrated anchor tube for safe mounting in a concrete foundation and a concave profile thanks to which palisades can be assembled in a row without gaps. 5 palisades are needed to form one linear metre of bordering.
RP04 palisade is 40 cm high; it is manufactured from rubber granules and fibres (from tyre recycling), bonded with polyurethane. The surface of a palisade is open-pored and slip-resistant. Elastic palisades are sound-absorbing and fall-attenuating, permeable to water and weatherproof. The palisades are typically used for the protection of slopes, to design straight or curved edging for sandboxes, playing fields or playgrounds, and to border flower beds. Color and design are subject to production tolerances. Dimensions relate to the nominal dimension at standard temperature (format tolerance 2%, height tolerance 2 mm).

Retirement means freedom from all the responsibilities you once had. Now as the children are grown and established, you being a content person can accompany your spouse to move to a retirement home. There are a few renowned retirement communities in Texas and other places across the US and different parts of the globe that offer different types of senior living facilities in their properties. If possible, you should research and book a similar retirement home where you can shift after getting retired from the job.
There are various ways you can live happily in the retirement communities—
Stay protected under the constant surveillance
Often the seniors are the worst victims of burglary and theft if they found alone in a house. But staying in a protected retirement community ensures safety and complete protection from any such audacity. These residences have a security team that keeps the area protected by installing cams and CCTV cameras along with manual patrolling. You can stay there safely by keeping all your valuables with you.
New friends are like fresh oxygen
There is no age barrier in making friends. The other residents of the community are of your age and you can befriend with some of them and form a group as you used to do at school, then in college and at the workplace. This will be a fun experience. You guys can share lots of things within the group. Plan for a meal, coffee dates etc. Sharing the snack and meals are fun which you can again start doing with your new friends.
Enjoy music and cultural programs
Many retirement communities organize musical programs. You and your friends can have a wonderful time at the gala cultural programs. Instead of watching TV for the whole day, these community activities literally influence people to escalate the cultural aspects. Sometimes the residents can also participate. You can sing, be a part of the drama, or recite a skit in the ceremony. Anchoring the whole program is another significant role which has to be played by the inmates. If you're experienced in directing programs before, use your skills again in anchoring the programs.
Community charitable dinner
The communities organize dinners. You can also eat for a cause and help underprivileged people with food, medicine, clothes etc. Community charitable dinners always usher a good thought.
Getting involved with all these activities will help you in living a fruitful and happy life in the retirement community.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 14.8 million American adults suffer from major depressive disorder[1]. Consequently, it's no surprise that there's an abundance of self help articles related to improving happiness. Therefore I'm not going to pretend to have the know all be all to improving happiness, or that my article is superior to others. Rather I'm just going to present what I've found works for me. In doing so, my hopes are that some of you may find more joy in your lives.
Don't get stuck doing something you don't like
Sometimes improving your happiness means getting rid of the negative circumstances in your life. For a lot of people this may be a job. Most adults working a regular job are going to spend more waking hours with their coworkers than their friends or family. If your work environment is full of people you can't connect with or lacks fulfillment, it's eventually going to suck the life out of you, making it difficult to be happy in and outside of work. Therefore it's crucial that you free yourself from any labor environments that don't bring you joy.
Don't let money hold you back
If the money is the only thing keeping you at your current job, you probably shouldn't be there anymore. Money does not equate to happiness, so don't let it hold you back from finding it. I was in a career that I hated, even though I was earning more than I ever have. Eventually I quit that job without anything else lined up. With all the time I just freed up, I was able to quickly find a job that I enjoyed. My mood brightened and the health of my friendships flourished. Now I'm earning close to the same wages, with much more enjoyment, which is worth way more than any dollar amount. The great philosopher Alan Watts delivers a thought provoking, inspirational speech related to the last two paragraphs! The YouTube video of his narration is provided below.
What makes you itch?
When life throws you lemons, make lemonade
We've probably heard this saying more than we can care for, but that's only because it entails a very powerful message. Sometimes we need to see the negative in our lives, and use it to make something good. People tend to only focus on the negative, but who can blame them? We are designed that way. It's a survival tactic. If you're physically unhealthy, your mind is going to draw attention to the fact, in an effort to provoke a change before the condition worsens. People, however, often get stuck on the negative thoughts, instead of viewing their source of unhappiness as a motivational tool. The next time you recognize a negative thought, stop, think about what area of your life your mind is telling you to improve, recognize that it needs improving, and then use it as a motivational tool to change your life. Practicing this way of thinking turns negativity into inspiration, which ultimately cultivates in happiness!
Set up goals
Setting up goals is so imperative to improving your happiness. Once you realize that you're currently making an effort to change your life for the better, it breaks the power that any negative thought holds over you. You no longer have to feel bad upon having that thought because you can tell yourself the problem is being worked on. Even though it's so simple, this has proven to be a powerful tool in my life, and has redirected many days from bad to good.
Set aside time to motivate yourself
Spend time at the beginning of your day to speak positivity into your life. Remind yourself of all the goals you're working towards, and the steps you've already taken to improve your life. This is a simple tactic that no one ever does because we're all too busy, however doing this always uplifts my spirit. Additionally, it initiates a positive thought process that overflows into the rest of your day.
Best of wishes
With the most passion I encourage you: free yourself from unfulfilling careers, don't be tied to a job because of money, turn your negative thoughts into positive motivation, set goals, and speak positivity into your life, because you deserve to have happiness. I hope that upon reading this article, you may find an increase in joy and positivity in your life. Best of wishes.

Strangers Tend to Tell Me Things
Amy Dickinson pulls the curtain back on her personal life and treats readers to a glimpse inside the life of the woman behind the world famous daily "Ask Amy" advice column. Finding it easier to give advice then it is to take it, Dickinson relates a deeply personal memoir about love, loss, and coming home to her quaint town of Freeville, New York (see her previous bestseller "The Mighty Queens of Freeville"). Poignant, emotional, funny, and relatable, "Ask Amy" writes a moving memoir that will appeal to anyone whose ever suffered through divorce, middle age, child rearing, aging parents, falling in love, and more. To err is human and Amy makes mistakes and hilarious mishaps (which she gleefully relates) so that her readers don't have to. Narrated by Amy herself, who brings poise, laughter, and personal experience to the telling of her story. For fans of women's relationships and memoirs. - Erin Cataldi, Johnson Co. Public Library, Franklin, IN

But then again nearly all parts of the world where humans are is. Having travelled a little, I'd say humans are remarkable in developing different nuts society, and one remarked that the difference of the Catholic Church and a luninbin is that the biggest nutters run the bin. And hundreds of millions follow gladly. Wether it is surviving after death or being Gods chosen master race over other races, as long as it fancies the own comfort or own wishes for stuff to be, some rather defend their being nuts to the point of cutting the eyenerves of people of the other races than going away from their nuts believes in being ever so special and chosen by God or or someone or something else to do their nuts pervert stuff to others. I tend to not care that much what people do to themselves, but see the real nuts ones as those injuring others. This room holds top level of all rooms I was to. I read stuff here that if I were more sensitive I'd barf ll over the computer if I were just to imagine that, and doing such myself to someone I think I'd tell myself to be off to some therapy. This is one of the rooms where I enjoy that I rarely think in pictures and that it costs me a lot of power to generate even simple ones, say a vague, not very precise image of a square brick. A cat or an ape, fortunately for my emotional welfare reading some of the nuts stuff here, are tricky if not impossible in detail. I have regretted often that I can not generate pictures inside the way many humans seem to be able to, but with this nuts room I am glad I can't. For me this room is the nuthouse. And though unlikely I hope that within my life time all mammal people races with a limbic system will be declared not to be possessions of human mammals. And though very unlikely I hope that some day extremists will start to abduct some of the neuro-mammals abusing people of the other mammal races, and do to them part or all of what they did to others, maybe coming to the conclusion that that is the only likely way to frighten others from abusing others. And maybe even think more about what they do to others is like for them, and what if they were in the other's place.

How to Adjust Galaxy Tab Video Settings
The settings you use to shoot video on your Samsung Galaxy Tab create the overall quality of the video. Of particular importance are the resolution and light settings.
How to set Galaxy Tab video resolution
You might guess that setting the highest video quality would always be best. Not so! For example, video you shoot for YouTube need not be of top quality. Multimedia text messaging (known as MMS) video should be of very low quality or else the video doesn't attach to the message. Also, high resolution video uses up a heck of a lot more storage space on the Galaxy Tab.
To set the video quality while using the Camcorder app, touch the Settings icon. Choose the Resolution command. There are two settings:
1080X720: The highest-quality setting is best suited for video you plan to show on a large-format TV or computer monitor. It's useful for video editing or for showing important events, such as Bigfoot sightings.
640X480: This setting is good for Internet video or e-mail attachments, though it doesn't enlarge well.
The front-facing camera has no video quality setting; the quality is fixed at 640X480, the same as the lowest setting for the main camera.
Check the video quality before you shoot! Especially if you know where the video will end up (on the Internet, on a TV, or in an MMS message), it helps to set the quality first.
How to add light to your Galaxy Tab video
You don't need a flash when recording video, but occasionally you need a little more light. You can manually turn on the Galaxy Tab's LED flash to help: On the left side of the Camera app screen, touch the Light button. Choose On to turn on the LED light, and choose Off to disable it.
The light comes on only when you start recording your video.
There is no light for shooting video with the front-facing camera.
Turning on the LED light consumes a hefty portion of battery power. Use it sparingly.
