ml) for at least two dozen Melba Mai Tais.Pre-populated returns were pioneered in the Nordic countries. Denmark introduced this feature in 1988, Sweden in 1994, followed by the other Nordic countries by the early 2000s. Pre-populated returns have since been adopted in Chile, Slovenia, Spain, Australia, Estonia – and even the state of California.
It might also be surprising to many Canadians to hear that pre-populated tax forms have been tried in Canada. For the 2007 tax year, Quebec initiated a pilot program where 100,000 tax filers received a pre-populated form. The province intended to expand coverage each subsequent year, so that by 2011 all tax filers would receive a pre-populated form; however, in 2008, Quebec dumped its plan to expand the program.
The obvious intent of pre-populated returns is to reduce both compliance and administrative costs for personal income taxpayers, which also seems to be the understanding of those readers who submitted comments about wanting Canada to move to pre-populated tax forms. While on the surface this proposal may seem appealing, it is not without complexities.
First, as noted by the OECD, accurate withholding at source is critical for the success of pre-populated forms. Accurate withholding ensures few taxpayers are owed or owe money. Accurate withholding is necessary to reduce administrative costs. Since it takes longer for the revenue authority to issue pre-populated forms and even longer to issue refunds, as compared to a system where individuals file their own information, accurate withholding is essential so that taxpayers are not owed money for extended period of time. Timeliness was reported to be a key issue in the Quebec pilot project. Accurate withholding, however, is not as simple as it sounds and requires either a very simplified tax system or the transfer of immense information from tax filers to the tax authority at the start of each tax year.
Second, the reduction in compliance costs incurred by individuals is questionable since they still need to check that their form has been filled appropriately and correct missing or incomplete information. In systems with many specialized tax credits – such as Canada’s – the revenue authority may not have enough information (e.g., Child Fitness Tax Credit, Medical Expenses Tax Credit), so the individual will still need to collect and submit receipts. Further, individuals with income not subject to third party reporting (e.g. rental income) will see little reduction in their compliance costs. Indeed, as concluded by this report, pre-populated tax forms only reduce compliance costs for a small number of individuals with very simple returns.
Third, as noted in this UK report, there is little evidence that pre-populated forms decrease tax non-compliance. By sending the pre-populated form, the revenue authority shows its hand to the taxpayer. There is little incentive for a taxpayer to disclose additional income that the tax authority is not aware of.
Lass regarding reduced administrative costs. Indeed, the cost of complying with such systems still falls heavily on small businesses. Administrative costs for the tax authority are also quite high in the early years of the program as it sorts out reliability, availability, comprehensiveness, and timeliness of the program. Over all, the administrative benefits from moving to a pre-populated tax form rarely appear to outweigh the costs.

During the 1960s and 1970s Arthur Penn made a series of films that uncompromisingly engaged with the reality of America's violent past. Penn re-invented the gangster genre with Bonnie and Clyde (1967), a film that re-cast the main protagonists as lovers-on-the-run, in French nouvelle vague style.
The film was an attempt by Penn to unpick the romanticised mythology of the west in Hollywood. The revisionist western of the 1960s and 1970s accepted the arbitrary violence of the wild-west as a product of social, political and economic forces beyond the control or understanding of its cast. Accordingly, the new heroes were presented as composite characters with both good and evil in their natures. Left Handed Gun was originally conceived as a vehicle for James Dean, the poster boy of American teenage anxiety and rebellion during the 1950s.
The revisionist western is, at its most accomplished, a proto-Marxist exposition of the determining forces that shaped the westward American expansion. The genre also includes Once Upon a Time in the West from 1968, and Heaven's Gate (1980). These films refuse the complacent moral judgements used to justify the manifest destiny of western expansion.
The Legend of Pat and Billy
Billy the Kid was a member of the ranchers' outlaw force, named The Regulators. These enforcers, drawn from criminal elements across the southwest, eventually ran out of control. They were brutally suppressed in a series of bloody shoot-outs. Those that survived were dispersed and forced on the run. The implacable law-man Pat Garrett, eventually tracked, caught and executed Billy in 1881.
The legend of Pat and Billy was mostly created through the sensationalist memoir published by Pat Garrett in 1882. The myth showed Garrett as an enforcer who would follow his prey to the inevitable and bloody conclusion. This myth has been variously recast across American history and in various contexts, so that corruption and lawlessness will never, in the USA, be allowed to go unpunished.
Billy the Kid, like Jesse James, is one of the hero villains of the


How China Inc can be tripped up by miscalculations abroad
The Rajapaksas’ return to power in Sri Lanka is a reminder of China Inc’s unfortunate geopolitical miscalculations in south and south-east Asia.
During Mahinda Rajapaksa’s 10-year presidency from 2005 to 2015, some of China’s biggest state-owned enterprises rushed to secure large construction contracts that Sri Lanka ultimately could not afford. This caused Beijing much embarrassment after Mr Rajapaksa’s political opponents unexpectedly defeated him at the polls five years ago, and then began either to scale back many of those projects or renegotiate the Chinese state financing that underpinned them.
Mr Rajapaksa is now riding high again as prime minister, after his brother and former defence minister, Gotabaya, last month won the presidency back for Sri Lanka’s most powerful clan. However, Gotabaya Rajapaksa indicated on his first overseas visit as president — tellingly to India — that he would not be rushing back into China’s economic embrace.
It has been a similar story in both the Maldives and Malaysia, where Chinese SOEs were similarly tripped up by opposition party electoral victories that led to greater scrutiny of those countries’ financial and commercial dealings with Beijing.
Given the Chinese Communist party’s ever tighter grip on power at home, it is not surprising that the large SOEs it controls might find it difficult to read shifts in the political weather in such countries. But how have these same companies done in south and south-east Asia in more commercial contexts, which they should be better prepared to navigate given their own impressive records at home?
READ ALSO Deutsche Bank raises revenue target for investment bank
Alas a high-profile corporate case study now unfolding in India — the bankruptcy of Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications group — suggests Chinese SOEs also have much to learn when dealing with private regional conglomerates and the tycoons who control them.
Ten years ago Mr Ambani was to India’s telecommunications sector what Mahinda Rajapaksa was to Sri Lankan politics: a seemingly irresistible force with no immovable objects lying in his path. In 2008, Forbes ranked him as the world’s sixth richest man with a fortune of $42bn, just one spot below — and a mere $1bn poorer — than his older brother, Mukesh.
In a bitter 2005 inheritance battle mediated by the Ambani brothers’ mother, Anil Ambani was given his late father’s power, telecoms and finance units while Mukesh Ambani took over the family’s oil business. A few years after the carve-up, Anil Ambani controlled four listed flagships with a combined market value of $108bn.
At this time, China Inc courted Anil Ambani as assiduously as it did Mahinda RajapaksaBeijing’s largest policy lenders, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China showered RCom with credit. According to people familiar with RCom’s development, much of it was usedchampions such as Huawei.
The extent of the dealings of CDB, Eximbank and ICBC with RCom would only become apparent years later when Anil Ambani’s empire began to crumble, in large part because of his brother’s entry into India’s telecommunications market. Mukesh Ambani’s start-up, Reliance Jio, has turned the industry on its head.
While Mukesh Ambani is now Asia’s richest man with a fortune estimated at almost $60bn, Anil Ambani’s net worth has collapsed gone bankrupt with about $7bn in debts. According to a 2018 restructuring plan viewed by the Financial Times, CDB, Eximbank and ICBC are owed about one-third of this amount.
In its 2018 annual report, Huawei suggests that its state-bank partners will bear the brunt of any losses stemming from this exposure. “To transfer risks, Huawei arranges for third-party financial institutions to provide sales financing, such as export credit facilities, leasing and factoring,” the company said. “These institutions bear the associated risks and profit from these operations.”
For the captains of China Inc, it is one thing to bet on the wrong south or south-east Asian politician ahead of an election that they then go on to lose. But it must come as an even greater shock to bet on a tycoon who is then upended by his own brother’s business expansion and forced into a messy and very public bankruptcy proceeding.
That sort of thing never happens back in China, where, when necessary, the Communist party is usually able to work out quiet agreements between state-controlled creditors and state-controlled debtors. Beijing must at least be grateful that Sri Lanka’s Rajapaksa brothers are still getting on famously with each other.

Lowborn King EP
Genre(s): Christmas / Alternative / Worship
Album length: 5 tracks: 15 minutes, 50 seconds
Since putting Thrice on hold, lead vocalist and worship leader Dustin Kensrue has kept rather busy with solo music. Of course, he released a long-awaited second album under his own name last year on BEC Recordings (and recently announced a follow-up album for a Vagrant Records release next year), but he's also done some work as the lead vocalist of a band called The Modern Post. One short EP in 2012 is all we had to go on from this band, but then we got a lovely little surprise in the form of a Modern Post Christmas EP, and it's everything you'd expect from the band.
The Modern Post's Lowborn King EP is a real treat. Not only was it completely out of left field, it's also one of the best Christmas releases of 2014 (despite its short length). Whether you've followed Kensrue since he fronted Thrice or you've just recently been exposed to him as an official player in the Christian market, you can't go wrong with this new EP.

Forming African leaders
The first class of adult learners in the Tangaza College/De Paul University program celebrates graduation day at Tangaza in December. (Cyril Papa)
Leaving Nairobi, with its traffic-choked streets, swanky buildings and vast slums, one heads west on Lang'ata Road toward the town of Karen, once the expansive farm of Karen Blixen of Out of Africa fame. There in sight of the Ngong Hills is a "little Vatican": Some 40 religious communities have established residences in the surrounding countryside. Among them one finds a unique experiment in religious education, Tangaza, a constituent college of the nearby Catholic University of Eastern Africa. As Tangaza College's gate swings open, a large statue of Mary, depicted as an African woman, comes into view, symbol of both the Annunciation and the college's motto -- "Tangaza fumbo la imani," or "Proclaim the mystery of faith." In myriad ways Tangaza does exactly that.
Twenty-three years ago Tangaza began as a bold adventure, born of necessity. Three religious congregations pooled faculty and resources in order to take on the education of some 20 students. Today Tangaza has 21 religious congregations as corporate members and enrolls 1,200 students, men and women, religious and lay, mostly Catholics, but with other Christians and a few Muslims among them. This student population includes representatives of most of Kenya's 40-plus ethnic groups and others from Asia, Europe and the rest of the African continent.onAmong Kenya's 36 million people, approximately 80 percent are Christians of one sort of another. Roman Catholics are represented in almost all the major ethnic groups and make up about 26 percent of the population, a similar percentage to that in the United States. Divisions within the country mainly occur not over religion, but ethnic allegiance.
At Tangaza, where unity is emphasized, those divisions tend not to be prominent. When7 and more than 1,000 people were killed and some 600,000 were displaced, Tangaza students returned to the college to create a ritual of healing. A peace pole, festooned with the word peace in multiple languages, was erected. It continues to stand as a sign of their commitment to work to end Kenya's endemic divisions.
Tangaza College prides itself on being creatively responsive to emerging needs, both religious and academic. After several years of planning, in December the college graduated its first class of undergraduate adult learners in a partnership with Chicago's School for New Learning at DePaul University. Limited opportunities for adult education in eastern Africa have a particularly negative impact on Kenya's approximately 2,000 women religious, who historically have served in teaching and health ministries but who now are establishing new ministries for which they need preparation. Additionally, they amplex religious congregations.
In response to the need for expanded forms of education for these women, Tangaza, under the auspicesin partnership with DePaul, created a new program that would offer an undergraduate liberal arts degree with a focus area in leadership and management for adult learners.
On the other hand, Tangaza'sthen under the directorship of Brennan, offered two-year undergraduate diplomas, but recognized the need to further the education of its graduates, all adult learners, many of whom were women religious.
In order to establish their partnership and to garner support for women religious in this tuition-dependent program, DePaul and Tangaza secured a major grant from the Los Angeles-based Conrad Hilton Foundation.

Other opinions from the GolinHarris survey? Those surveyed thought that the single most important behavior for a corporation to demonstrate was that it "values, treats employees well, fairly." Milwaukee is also a relative stand-out in this category"On a per capita basis, the Milwaukee Region is home to the more 'best companies to work for' than any other region in the nation." In fact, a strategy to recruit talent to our region based on Milwaukee's "worker-friendly advantage" is now underway by local talent attraction and retention group, Fuel Milwaukee.
Of course, this is not to say that Milwaukee corporations can't improve their CSR credentials. A 2004 report by the Public Policy Forum found that the 50 largest Wisconsin companies lagged behind corporations nationwide and in the Midwest with regard to the gender diversity of their corporate leaders. In other words, we have work to do on the gender equity front in Wisconsin and Milwaukee.
Inclusion, environmentalism and social equity are terms that are typically not associated with Milwaukee's corporate climate. Maybe it's time to change how we think and talk about our region's corporate entities.

Therefore, this is, by no means, a problem that only the 'white' or 'western' women should get angry about. This is a case for women everywhere, and most definitely one for the Muslim Woman. How many real Muslim women, besides Malala, have we seen take up an influential and representative role in the UN?

Visio & PPT Education
Pro Quick Draw was dreamt up with a desire to fill the gaps in an existing drawing system, Microsoft Visio. While Visio was originally intended for architects, it became the default choice for football coaches at the highest level of football in the US. Frustrations with lack of tools and time wasted on busy work encouraged NFL Coach (Founder Andy Bischoff) to push technology to improve in his daily routine. Rather than imagining a standalone software, he created a wishlist of features to enhance Visio & PowerPoint geared toward coach workflows. He then found a talented developer who understood football operations, building the beginnings of Pro Quick Draw.
In 2018, Coach Bischoff and his wife Brittany built a small team and began servicing a few NFL clubs who took a leap of faith on the startup. Today, Pro Quick Draw services thousands of high schools, small colleges, FBS teams, Canadian Football League and Universities, European clubs and 26 of 32 NFL franchises. What started as a personal idea for an eager coach turned into a strong product in the playbook market at all levels of the football community.

Last week I went to a friend’s to watch The bird with the Crystal Plumage by Dario Argento.

In all honesty, I was hesitant about reading "No One Ever Asked". Katie Ganshert is very vocal about her views on racism and unfortunately, I disagree with quite a bit of them. So when I learned that this was going to be the topic for this novel, I was skeptical. I'm a huge fan of the authors' other books so I decided it was time to give this one a try and see how she handles the topic. It exceeded my expectations! In fact, this is a keeper for my bookshelf.
T with everyone. It's the perfect novel for book clubs to get those important conversations going. If we're going to fight for equality, then we need to work together to make that happen.
The book is told through three different women's points of views, all going through different things. They all have different opinions and it was neat watching how they all connected. They are raw, vulnerable, transparent, and realistic. Each of their stories is an emotional rollercoaster that will have readers crying, laughing, cheering them on, or getting mad.
This isn't just a story about racism, but a journey of grace, mercy, redemption, and forgiveness. It's a story about how we treat one another with love and kindness. It'sended.
Overall, I enjoyed this. Highly recommended!
Award-winning autho''ve heard a lot about this book and I found your review from your FLF post this week. I am curious about the parts you disagree with in regards to the author's stance on racism. I hope this does not come across in a confrontational way, I just Googled a bit about the author and read some of her posts about the topic, and was curious on your thoughts.
The book is great and I don't think there was anything in it that I disagreed with. I'm not sure how to explain it anAnaya's character in the beginning of the book shows it the best, honestly.
Good to now and thanks for not spoiling anything, I am definitely considering reading this one. I more so meant in reference to what you'd written about the author being vocal in her views and that you disagreed with her on some things.
It's been awhile since I've actually paid attention to her posts so I don't remember. I agree that racism is still an issue, but not in many of the ways that they're complaining about. I've had people pull the race card on me just because they disagreed with me on something. Most of the time it never even has anything to do with the color of their skin.

When paramedics come to the rescue, they typically look for vital signs first -- breathing, a pulse. But in more communities each year, paramedics might also be sizing up the patient to see if a bariatric ambulance specially designed to carry severly obese people needs to be called.
"We really think this helps provide dignity to a patient," said Douglas Moore, public relations managerthat operates in 43 states and is the developer of the "bariatric" ambulance used in Topeka's Shawnee County. The company's first bariatric ambulance debuted in 2002, and they have spread across the country ever since.
Obesity activists reacted with disdain to the practice of charging more for use of the new bariatric equipment, especially in a service funded by taxpayers.
"Increasing that rate from $629 to $1,172 is price gouging, and it's targeting a particular group of people," said Barbara Thompson, vice chairman of the Obesity Action Coalition in Tampa, Fla. "It can be looked at no other way than discriminating against them."
Paying for Specialized Obesity Care
"We look at it as an investment in service and quality versus an additional cost that we have to pass off on somebody," said
"It [the change] really has been over the last two years," said Lawler. "It's reflective in regards to what's going in health care and what's going on in health reform."

Class-leading range from bigger battery
53kWh and 77.4kWh battery versions
Starting price of around £43,000
New details have been released for the all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 6, which is expected to cost from just over £40,000 when it arrives later in the year. Its headline figure is a maximum range of up to 379 miles – a handful more than the Tesla Model 3 Long Range.
It shares much of its technology with the Ioniq 5, and 53kWh or 77.4kWh battery capacities will be available, but its aerodynamic shape and updated powertrain means the Ioniq 6 can go up to 64 miles further than the hatchback. Over time, its range could even be increased, thanks to wireless software updates that can alter “key control systems” for the first time in a Hyundai model, according to Thomas Schermera, Hyundai’s Executive Vice President. Its energy consumption of more than 4.4mi/kWh is said to make it one of the most efficient EVs on sale.
While entry-level rear-wheel drive versions with the smaller battery are likely to cost from around £43,000, the Hyundai’s price is expected to rise to £57,000 for a range-topping Ioniq 6 with the larger battery, four-wheel drive and 316bhp, propelling it from 0-62mph in 5.1 seconds. A high-performance Ioniq 6 N model is rumoured to be coming at some point, although Hyundai has yet to confirm this.
It’ll also use the Ioniq 5’s 800v electrical architecture, so will be capable of charging from 10-80 per cent in 18 minutes at a rapid charger.
A novel EV Performance Tune-up system will allow the owner to adjust the power of the electric motors, accelerator sensitivity and steering weight to their liking, while e-ASD can affect how the car sounds while it’s being driven, and add a ‘spaceship-like’ soundtrack.
Following several years of speculation and spy shots, Hyundai unveiled its all-electric Ioniq 6 saloon last month. While it follows on from the Ioniq 5 and features many similar elements, it has a sleeker, more conventional shape.
In 2020 Hyundai revealed a concept car called the Prophecy, and the new Ioniq 6 is the road-going result of that dramatic model. It’s been toned-down a little for production, but it’s still a dramatic shape with a long, sloping roofline.
The Ioniq 6 has a long wheelbase - the distance between the wheels - which means it will have lots of interior space, plus there’s room for a big battery pack under the floor. Large 18- or 20-inch alloy wheels are fitted and it features ‘virtual’ door mirrors that use cameras rather than mirrors - a feature seen on quite a few electric cars, including the Honda e and Audi e-tron.
The Ioniq 6 has large LED lights at the front and rear, and at the back they are spread into a pattern of squares just like on the Ioniq 5. There’s a small spoiler above the badge and the lower part of the rear bumper is black, which contrasts with the rest of the bodywork. It’s been shown with similar satin paintwork that’s already been seen on the Ioniq 5. Plenty more colours will be available, though, including red, blue, white, black and green.
Inside, the Ioniq 6 shares some elements with the Ioniq 5, such as the steering wheel and some of the switchgear, but it’s a more cocooning cabin with a larger centre console that stretches up to the dashboard. It’s a more conventional look, but still features a pair of 12-inch screens - one touchscreen set-up for the infotainment and another for the digital instruments ahead of the driver.
Eco-friendly materials are used inside, including the upholstery that is made from recycled plastics and the fibres from fishing nets. At the sides of the wide dashboard are the screens that display the view from the door mirror cameras, and the door panels feature bold ambient lighting with the choice of 64 colours and six themes. This brightness of the interior illumination for front occupants can also be set to adjust based on the car’s speed. While exact UK specs haven’t been confirmed yet, globally the Ioniq 6 will be offered in up to 12 exterior colours, while the interior comes in four colourways, including dark and light grey, olive green with light grey, black with pale brown and black.
At 4,855mm long, the Ioniq 6 is 220mm longer than an Ioniq 5, but it’s narrower and shorter. The 6 features seats with backrests that are around 30 per cent thinner to provide more space, while optional Relaxation Comfort Seats will allow extra seat angle adjustment. Four Type-C USB ports and a single Type-A USB are provided for charging and connecting mobile devices.
The Ioniq 6 will usher in the next generation of Hyundai’s ‘SmartSense’ driver aids, which includes Highway Driving Assist 2. Essentially a smart cruise control, this can maintain a set distance to the car ahead, and keep the car centred in its lane through curves. It can also adjust the car’s positioning if a vehicle in another lane gets too close, and change lanes if the driver indicates - although this feature isn’t yet confirmed for the UK. Other aids will include autonomous emergency braking that can also sense crossing traffic and blind-spot collision avoidance.

I was walking my dog on the beach today when I met a lady who was strolling along picking up garbage. As I passed, I commented that this must be her Sunday Service.
She responded, “Yes, this is my church.”
Which got me thinking about church, the declining numbers of people attending, and the disaster that organized religion has perpetrated by messing with the political system in our neighbors to the south.
Full disclosure; the organization with which I am associated is the United Church of Canada, one of the most liberal and progressive of religious denominations. This group has been allowing women to remove the pledge “to obey” from the marriage ceremony since 1946. (I happen to know this because my mother-in-law was the first woman to require this change. I am not the only religious rebel in the family.)
I have been lucky enough to know two exceptional ministers in my life, Glen Watts in Burns Lake in the 1960s, and David Wood more recently in Prince George. Both of these religious men treated their church service much more like a university seminar than the usual laying down of cant. They talked about things the congregation was interested in. They invited thoughtful responses.
Even then, I never really enjoyed church. And I finally figured it out.
My problem with organized religion is the organization part. Every time I sit in church I hear a minister start to pray with, “Oh, Most Powerful Heavenly Lord. We poor sinners abase ourselves before Thy puissance…” and end with, “…Thy will be done.” (Okay, maybe I exaggerate a bit). And I picture all the churches back in Europe for about a thousand years, with the minister up at the front spouting this sort of obsequious rot while the guy the peasants call “Lord” the rest of the week sits in his special pew, glowing with virtue.
There is nothing wrong with a like-minded group of people getting together once a week to support each other and reaffirm their common goals and beliefs. It’s the glue that holds societies together, whether it happens at the church on Sunday, the Rotary meeting Tuesday morning, or the pub on Friday night.
I just object to being bombarded with the leftover crumbs from a discredited political and social system, disguised as morality. And it makes my blood boil that the population is still being continuously brainwashed to kowtow to the ruling hierarchy.
This sort of training from childhood is insidious, getting deep into our subconscious. The unwavering belief that the person in authority is infallible may be comforting to those who worry that they cannot fend for themselves, but it has also led directly to the atrocities of sexual abuse that have been occurring for the last several hundred years in our society.
A benevolent dictatorship is still a dictatorship. The word “paternalistic” is a revealing adjective. In a paternalistic system, average citizens are kept in a sub-adult state, always looking up to leaders to make their choices for them.
The biggest argument in the Christian religion has always been whether humans have free will or whether there is some fate pre-ordained by God for everyone. This argument mirrors the struggle between democracy and autocracy in the political and social sense. The real argument is whether people should think for themselves or whether ourleaders have the right to choose everyone’s fate.
If they want to function in a democracy, I suggest our religious institutions start to slant their sermons a little more heavily towards people making choices for themselves and being willing to accept the consequences, instead of someone deciding for us and someone else atoning for our mistakes.
It’s time for humans to grow up. As long as our most common prayer starts out with, “Our Father…” it ain’t gonna happen.

It is rare, but possible, that some individuals may be “recognized” by the timeQplus Biometric system as someone else.
Normally, when an employee clocks in/out, he or she simply places the appropriate finger on the scanner pad. The scanner searches through the database looking for the best match to the scanned fingerprint. This is known as a One to Many comparison.
The majority of the time, the system correctly identifies the individuals and they are clocked in or out. Occasionally it cannot decide, and the employee receives the message to “Try again.” Rarely, the system declares a match to the wrong person and records a punch for the incorrect employee.
There are four possible ways you can handle this issue:
Adjust the sensitivity settings for one or both of the individuals involved. You can slightly decrease the sensitivity setting of the person trying to punch and/or slightly increase the setting of the person whose name is coming up in error.
Re-enroll one of the individuals using a different finger.
Instead of allowing the system to search through all the fingerprint templates stored in memory looking for the best match, tell it to compare the scanned print directly against the template stored for the specific individual attempting to clock in or out.
Instead of simply placing the enrolled finger on the scanner pad, have the employee first enter his or her assigned ID number. Ignore any request for a password and place the enrolled finger on the scanner pad. The system will access the template stored for that ID number and compare the scanned fingerprint directly against that template. If the system detects a match, the employee will be clocked in or out. This is known as a One to One comparison.
Assign the employee a password, which will allow the recording of punches simply by entering the ID number and password. This will work by bypassing the need for fingerprint verification. This option will allow potential “buddy punching,” so it should be use sparingly.

I don't trim my horses' hooves, but may do a bit of rasping eventually. All I can say is that I think you should learn from a competent farrier rather than from videos, but I realize that's the exact root of your problem in the first place.
I have great confidence in my trimmer, so will not be stepping in to do her job anytime soon, however, since she has a couple of apprentices, I like to listen in on their conversations. I am always in awe of the breadth of her experience. This is something that's hard to teach, or hard to learn from watching a video. Each horse is going to be different, and is not only going to present differently, but is going to grow differently. We've realized that in the summer, my Arab grows really fast, so she needs to come every 4-5 weeks. My QH mare grows straight out, whereas my Arab's hooves spread. Their feet are quite literally a dynamic organism that is constantly changing and only through years of experience can you develop the skill to know what needs to be done as far as nipping, rasping, trimming the frog, and the bars when necessary. There is so much that can go wrong if you mess it up.
She has taught me so much, and not just about hooves. I actually think that of all the horse people in my life, she has taught me the most. She even hosted a hoof dissection clinic to help horse owners, and future trimmers, learn more about hooves. All for the price of 10$ to cover materials at our local vet clinic (this included our very own hoof to dissect). I now have a fuller understanding of how the hoof, bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles work together.
I say all this to express the fact that although a lot of people have bad experiences with farriers, that has not been the case for me. And also to express that it is the sort of trade that you should probably learn from a professional because you don't want to get it wrong. It might be worth signing up for a course at the nearest vet college if that's an option. Or keep looking, even if you have to go pretty far out, to find a really good one, and learn from them.
Ah, a stand. Didn't think of that. I did without one for many years, but it does make the job easier, and a little safer. Just remember, if doing without, it's very easy for a horse to smash your knee with only a little jerk or paw. So DON'T put the hoof on your knee, but above it, and while it makes it slightly less stable, I always have it to one side, so when a horse does jerk back, it's likely to slip off your leg with nothing more than a bruise.
I adapted a telescopic car axle stand to make a comfortable, padded 'sling', with another... knobby bit that sat inside that for a stand. That did me fine until I was doing it for a job & decided to buy myself a purpose built one.
Yeah, Bassoli's tools are good quality, but I don't know Nordic Forge so can't comment on those. Angle of the nipper blades is another consideration - cheaper ones tend to be chunkier so harder to use - I suppose they don't make them as acutely angled because the steel's not so good quality.
I started trimming for two reasons: the farriers did a terrible job and I kept coming across horses that the farriers wouldn't trim because the horses wouldn't stand still enough.
One of my mares has only been lame several times in her 26 years. A couple times it was from injuries, but once it was from a farrier. That is unacceptable to me.
Now I'd have a really hard time letting anyone else trim my horses' hooves.  You know what things will worsen if you ignore them and what is going to be fine even if left for a couple more weeks.
You also can see first hand how the nutrition/minerals/supplements you are giving affect the hoof health and growth.
The pictures show the difference between a cheap hoof knife or rasp and a good one.
Here's an inexpensive and safe hoof stand that can be built. Plus, my GE nippers have bee used for 3 years on 6 different horses off/on and have not lost any sharpness that I can tell at all. It is just very difficult to make a nipper with a hard cutting surface that mates exactly.
and.....if you can buy a good but old rasp for a $1 somewhere, try this. Might save enough money to get a better nipper.
I wish I had access to a vet college or even a competent-ish farrier, but unfortunately I live in an area where 'big' towns are two hours apart. Next time I go downstate to visit family, I am going to see if my old farrier could give me pointers, but that will be in a few months.
I think I will eventually try to fashion some sort of stand, but for now, I think my horse is enough of a gentleman to stand nice and not cause any trouble. The farrier actually commented on how well mannered he was, and how they didn't get that too often... I don't know why people around here let their horses goof off for the farriers! When we first got our yearling, he ALWAYS had a rope halter on, and a longer lead, with a whip nearby, so if he would decide not to cooperate, he would be made work instead. After one or two appointments, we had a perfect gentleman for the farrier!
In the meantime (before your visit to your family), if it's affordable, try to purchase a rasp, hoof knife (or knives if you're not using a loop), and a pair of nippers.
As long as you keep up with trimming every 3-4 weeks, a rasp should be all you need most of the time. That means I would put my big money into the rasp and buy a set of nippers on the low end of the medium price range for now.
It's that old adage that never goes out of style, "Too many cooks spoil the broth"
I started when my horse tried to kill the farriers. She was so intent on NOT allowing anyone but me handle her feet, I was told I was going to have to get her to a ranch some miles away, because they had a hoist there, and they could tie up her feet and do them while she was off the ground.
I didn't have to trim much, just shape a bit. Gave up the idea of shoeing her, but all the riding we did (the area was un-built-up at that time, lots of open space to cover) ---all the miles kept her feet pretty short.
I still tend to the horses' feet about every week or so, a little at a time, but once or twice a year I have a farrier come, to check up, maybe correct something that's been going askew.
Does this seem like a good starter set, mostly regarding the nippers?
Yes, those seem like good quality tools to start out. The nippers are in the range where they are sharp, more balanced and have the thin blades that will cut more easily. Low quality nippers are dull and unwieldy.
I am scared to do this to my old rasp! Even though it is a great one, has lasted me for 2 years trimming 4-8 horses.. I did get worried when ACV spilled all over it, as it became rusty, but it still works.
So with this acid trick, might not be the worst if the hooves are rinsed with ACV and then I rasp them? I mean it wouldn't damage the rasp?
I am worried to try this with that rasp, because it is my only one, and I can't afford a new one now.
And oh yea, I really want to get some GOOD nippers. The ones I have are a piece of junk... makes me work so hard..
That reminds me, gotta go sharpen the knives..
I'm an engineer, so I love learning to do things myself. All my horses have been in the "pretty easy" category for trimming, and I do my best to keep knowledgeable on any signs that I might need to call in a professional.
Trimming yourself is a HUGE time saver. It gets you out of the time-sucking logistics (phone tag, scheduling, bill paying, etc.) inherent with having somebody periodically coming to do things for you. Finding a good farrier is hard and time consuming. Most with a great reputation are full up on clients and aren't interested in adding more. The ones taking clients are (completely literally) questionable. You don't know if they'll be great, or be not-so-great, so you have to take time to talk with them and inspect their work long enough to know you can trust them. I recognized that once you've already learned enough to inspect a farriers work, I realized it wasn't much harder to do the work myself.
