Improving EFL learners' writing skill is one of the most important issues in research projects and needs in language teaching classrooms. The researcher tried to find the relationship between creativity and EFL learners' writing ability. To this aim, 60 English language university students were selected randomly to participate in this research. To make sure of the homogeneity of the students in terms of their general English language, a test of Placement English Test (PET) was employed. Then the Abedi's creativity questionnaire, which consisted of 60 three-option multiple-choice items, was implemented. After that, a composition was administered and it was scored based on a certain grading model. Finally, data was analyzed through different correlational statistics such as Pearson correlation test. As the overall conclusion of the study, EFL learners' creativity affects their writing ability considerably. Therefore, being aware of the learners' creativity and trying to improve it will help our students to develop their writing ability in different mediums and circumstances of language teaching and learning. In addition to policy makers, materials developers, and syllabus designers who can benefit from the findings and suggestions of this research, teachers who are still the core of teaching and learning process, and can perform necessary tasks and activities based on their students' needs, can apply the findings of this study to improve their students' writing ability.
Developing the autonomy of learners especially language learners is one of the important issues in foreign language teaching area. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of different dictionary tasks in EFL learners' autonomy and vocabulary learning. To this aim, 60 EFL guidance and high school students (13-17 years old) were chosen. They were divided into two groups, experimental group (n=30) and control group (n=30). First, a pretest was given to both groups. Then, the teacher of experimental group gave different tasks for using dictionary in teaching new vocabularies and reviewing last words for 8 sessions. The tasks were chosen based on some features such as novelty, attractiveness, easiness, etc. For example, students were supposed to identify the place of stress or find the synonyms for each word. At the end, a posttest was given to both groups. [T-test was used to analyze data]. The findings of the study revealed a significant relationship between using dictionary tasks and improving EFL learners' autonomy and permanent vocabulary learning. This study can help the teachers who seek effective ways to teach vocabulary and improve learners' autonomy, and also teachers who can't employ new technologies. Moreover, it can be beneficial for learners who search for self-study effective vocabulary learning techniques.

Matthew 25:25 - And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, here you have what is yours.
Matthew 25:26 - His lord answered and said to him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed:
Matthew 25:27 - Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and then at my coming I should have received it back with interest.
Matthew 25:28 - Take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

Luke 19:22 - And he said to him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow:

Matthew 13:21 - Yet he has no root in himself, and endures only for a while: when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he falls away.
Matthew 13:22 - The seed sown among the thorns is he who hears the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Mark 4:13 - And he said to them, Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

Luke 8:11 - Now the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Luke 8:12 - Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes, and takes the word from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
Luke 8:13 - Those on the rock are the ones, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but they have no root; they believe for a while, but in time of temptation fall away.

Matthew 22:11 - And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment:
Matthew 22:12 - And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13 - Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

PDP faction campaigns for Atiku in Katsina
Former Governor Shehu Shema's faction of the Peoples Democratic Party in Katsina State on Sunday held a rally for the party's presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
The rally cum campaign was led by the Katsina state immediate past chairman of PDP, Salisu Majigiri, who also represented the former governor at the event.
PDP leaders from the 34 Local Government Areas of the state were also in attendance at the rally which took place in front of one of the PDP offices located along Faqachi Quarters in Katsina.
Speaking at the event, Majigiri told party leaders and party members that the rally was organized for Alhaji Atiku to further sensitize people of the state about the forthcoming general elections and appealed for people's support for him.
Majigiri said the former Vice President would win in Katsina state, adding that the purported division in the party in the state was a leadership problem that would not affect Atiku's chances at the polls.
He said, "We are here to campaign for our President. We are here to campaign for our candidate, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku. I assure you Atiku will win Katsina state. Our presidential candidate knows who is genuinely for him and he knows we are for him. That is why our leader, His Excellency, former Governor, Barrister Shehu Shema is marshalling all efforts to see that Alhaji Atiku wins in the general elections. We shall be organizing another rally for him. We know that Insha Allah, he will win."
Majigiri, who is also the PDP House of Representative candidate for Mashi/ Dutsi in the forthcoming election, insisted that the people of katsina knew that the majority of landmark projects in the state were embarked on and delivered built by the PDP government.
"Katsina would reciprocate PDP's kind gestures and shall vote for our presidential candidate at the election," Majigiri said.
Atiku continues UK engagements, meets Canterbury Archbishop

NBA Season Saved?
By Tim Bearden in News on Nov 26, 2011 8:00PM
After a 149-day lockout, fans had come to terms with the possibility of no basketball season, but now NBA Commissioner David Stern, union executive director Billy Hunter and players union President Derek Fisher are confident the season may be saved after the league and players reached a tentative agreement at 3:30 a.m. Saturday. The supposedly revived season is tentatively scheduled to begin Dec. 25 with a triple-header, including an NBA finals re-match between the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat.
It is not set in stone, though, and the players and owners still need to vote on the agreement for the proposed 66-game season. But Stern and Hunter are both confident the season will happen. The league and players association held a press conference shortly after the tentative agreement was reached after a 15-hour negotiation session at a Manhattan law-firm.
"We're confident that once we present it, [the players] will support it," Hunter told ESPN.
The players union disbanded on Nov. 14 following a rejection of the ultimatum issued by Stern, leaving fans thinking a season was out of the question. The players filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the league, which is said to be recalled now that a tentative agreement has been made.
This is the closest the NBA has come to not having a season in league history. Major details of the deal were not announced at the press conference early this morning, but under the proposed agreement the players should be able to achieve the 51 percent basketball-related income they were vying for.
Fisher, union rep and Lakers point guard, believes this deal is going to be accepted by the players union once it re-groups from its disbanding. A majority vote from their 430-member union is necessary to finalize the deal. Officials are confident once the union drops the anti-trust lawsuit, re-convenes and votes, a deal could be finalized within the week.
"The lawyers will handle a lot of the heavy lifting," union president Derek Fisher said. "For myself, it's great to be a part of this particular moment in terms of giving our fans what it is that they so badly wanted and want to see." ">Dwayne Wade of Miami even breathed a sigh of relief, according to the Associated Press. "All I feel right now is 'finally,'" Wade told the AP.
Stern, being the dramatic that he is, called the lockout a "nuclear winter" for the NBA following the rejection of the previous agreement. The nuclear winter became more a Cold War between the union and the league and they asked Mr. Stern to "tear down that wall." Speaking through an anti-trust lawsuit, that is.
Stern probably realized a cancelled season would result in losing fans, a setback the MLB suffered following their strike in the late 90s. Former NBPA counsel Jim Quinn set the stage with his back channel work. Quinn did most of the work last week renewing negotiations on Tuesday, although he was not at the final negotiations on Friday. The owners still have to vote on the agreement and 15 of 29 must be in favor of the proposal to end the lockout and save the season.

Review: Can the inexpensive Kershaw Shuffle II make the cut?
A small, versatile blade for your everyday carry — with some drawbacks.
By Drew Shapiro | Published Jun 11, 2021 10:46 AM
My favorite knives have fixed blades (looking at you, Mora), but that leaves out a lot of choices. Let's face it: a knife is only useful or practical if it's on you when you need it, and something like the Mora isn't going to cut it in an office setting or even a unit standup. Fixed knives are nearly always better than folding knives, but they aren't appropriate to carry most of the time. Folding knives take care of visibility problems and generally aren't as intimidating to your cubicle mate or those "combat" finance people working on your travel voucher.
While I did unspeakable things to knives as a loadmaster on C-17s and in force protection as an airman, it doesn't seem right to baton a small folder like the Kershaw Shuffle II or throw it at anything. The Kershaw shuffled its way past some of my other abusive tests by having built-in features for opening bottles and driving slotted fasteners. I'm definitely in a cubicle these days and I don't get to carry large fixed-blade knives. Because I go through security several times each day, I can't even keep one in my briefcase. I can, however, keep a small pocket knife around, and they come in handy frequently for slicing open packages or breaking down cardboard boxes.
The Kershaw Shuffle II is great for doing that: opening packages and stabbing cardboard. That said, I'm not sure who this knife is for or why it exists. It's not a bad knife, it just has some confusing properties that seem contradictory.
Kershaw Shuffle II Folding Pocket Knife
Blade length: 2.25 in
Materials: 8Cr14MoV stainless steel (blade), glassed filled nylon (handle)
I like Kershaw's packaging. The Shuffle II came in a little red-orange box and shipped with a manual. Yes, a manual. For a folding knife. And frustratingly, the manual didn't explain all of the features of the knife, like the not-quite-intuitive ambidextrous bottle opener or how the clip can be mounted on either side of the knife (more on that later). Overall, it's unconventional, but it looks useful and I like it.
The knife itself comes in three colors, and mine is good old OD green. I was having trouble placing the aesthetics of the scales but eventually it hit me. The scales of the Kershaw Shuffle II are molded out of glass-filled nylon to look like G10 or Micarta with cut grooves for a 550-cord wrap. Sit back a bit and think about that. Remember that the Kershaw Shuffle II is a folding knife. I'll wait. Design contradiction number one.
(Drew Shapiro)
The only decoration on the scales is an embossed "CHINA" on the clip side. There's an all-metal lanyard or keychain loop on the butt-end of the closed knife that ends in a flathead screwdriver. Looking at it, it seems perfect for dzus fasteners, scope or RDS adjustment, or the battery compartment screws on gear like night-vision goggles or active earpro. Then there are two little tabs on either side of the keychain loop that turn the loop into a bottle opener, another really handy feature. The last two external parts are a pocket clip and a two-sided thumb stud for easy one-handed opening. Closed, the knife is 4 inches long, which is about right for a pocket knife.
Opening the Shuffle II rewards you with a view of the 2.25-inch tanto point blade and the worn-in dark oxide coating that Kershaw calls "BlackWash." I'm a fan of the BlackWash finish. I love sandblasted or tumbled blades and the dark color on a tumbled blade works well here. Opened up, the Shuffle II is a hair over 6 ¼ inches long. The blade has a liner lock and a spring-loaded ball and cup closing keeper.
How we tested the Kershaw Shuffle II
Despite the Kershaw Shuffle II's small size, it seemed sturdy enough to test hard. I had a bonfire to start and some kindling to make. We had a wax log and a torch handy, but I'm stubborn and wanted to do it the hard way to get a good impression of this little knife.
Part of the reason the knife is so sturdy is the tanto-style blade. The tanto was invented by feudal warlords in Japan to puncture samurai armor. This style puts a lot more meat at the tip of the blade compared to a drop point, but tantos have drawbacks too. Tantos are exceptionally good for stabbing, but don't slice particularly well because of the sharp angle in the belly of the blade. The angle creates two separate sections where a drop point blade would have a gentle curve and a continuous blade. Any design choices between the two are a trade-off between good slicing performance and good stabbing performance.
I started by splitting out some smaller pieces from good dry firewood until I had a fistful of straw-sized sticks. I used this exercise to test blade strength, sharpness, repeatability, and grip comfort. Because the tanto blade doesn't slice particularly well, testing the Kershaw Shuffle II's sharpness needed a long, straight stroke. The knife performed well here, but it was around this point I noticed I was starting to get a blister at the base of my index finger. I had been using the knife for about two minutes. The pocket clip was digging in and pinching my finger as I cut.
When faced with knife-based adversity, I take the same approach as I used to with enemy combatants or reticent airmen as an NCO: these colors don't run, and I don't negotiate with terrorists. I forged ahead after a grip adjustment and tested fine control of the blade by making a feather stick. By the time I was done, I was thirsty and found a great opportunity to test the bottle opener on the cap of a Topo Chico on my way to a Whiskey Collins.
I made my first mistake around this time. Well-lubricated with 100-proof rye and annoyed at my blister, I bragged about a one match fire. I carefully set up my kindling and smaller sticks with an assortment of other sticks and firewood arranged by size at arm's length. I lit my kindling and it went up as expected, but when I put my larger feathered stick on, the feathers burned off and the log extinguished itself. No surrender, no defeat!
Cursing, I pulled the Shuffle II out and made twice the kindling with it. I made another perfect little pyramid of straw-sized sticks with a puff of dried grass and heartwood shavings under it, but set a second pyramid of full-sized firewood over the starter this time instead of trying to feed a log in. It lit right up and this time kept going. I mumbled something about it being take two of my single match fire, but deep down, we all knew it was a two-match fire and I was a failure.
The final test was as unsurprising as it was uninteresting. I needed to remove the tripod plate from a camera, and while I normally use a quarter for the flathead screw, I had the Kershaw Shuffle II handy. It worked well as a large screwdriver, to nobody's surprise.
What we like about the Kershaw Shuffle II
The Kershaw Shuffle II is an interesting little knife. It's compact and manages two useful features out of non-moving parts. The bottle opener is functional, if weird, and the screwdriver is basically a hidden treasure. You wouldn't know either of those existed by just looking at the knife if someone else was using it. They become apparent after touching the Shuffle II for yourself. I love that. It feels like a spy's tool in that regard.
I also like the finish on the blade. Kershaw got their BlackWash finish really right here, and it works both on its own and as part of the whole knife. I like how when it's closed the Shuffle II is just a small non-descript oval.
When open, the knife feels solidly made and plenty sturdy. It's decently sharp and has a wicked point to it. The thumb studs work exactly like they should and you can open the knife with one hand even if you're a lefty (I'm assuming, because I'm a righty).
For me, a pocket knife should always have one-handed opening as a baseline feature. Think about it, you're probably already holding something in your hands, and you just dug through your pocket or ruck with your free hand. Why would you want to set something down when it's already in your hand? Kershaw hits the mark here.
What we don't like about the Kershaw Shuffle II
The design contradictions are puzzling for me. I'm not sure who Kershaw made the Shuffle II for, but it wasn't made for me. It's small but has a design-heavy grip section with scalloping for fingers and a blade-integral finger guard. That's in keeping with the tanto blade, which are made for stabbing specifically. What are you going to stab with a 2-inch blade though? You're certainly not going to be piercing armor with this knife.
Doing finger cutouts on a knife this small seems pointless. Cutouts remove grip area without adding anything but looks. They're really not necessary on a knife this size. Cutouts aren't my only gripe. The size of the grip, the comfort of the grip, and the overall size of the knife are also problems. No one is going to do much stabbing with this knife except office supplies. It's great for stabbing cardboard and breaking down recycling, but doesn't seem useful in the "EDC" jack-of-all-trades way that it's marketed for.
What I want in a pocket knife is a comfortable handle, small size, a blade with maximum utility, corrosion resistance, and a strong locking mechanism. While I see how some people would love the Kershaw Shuffle II, it's not for me. The grip doesn't make much sense. It's a folding knife and yet looks like it's meant to be wrapped in 550 cord.
The blade doesn't make sense either. It's a stabbing-specific shape which is so short at 2.6 inches that the forward perpendicular edge makes up nearly half of the blade length. The slicing edge is only an inch and change. Pocket knives are for slicing and cutting, not for armor piercing, and this knife doesn't really slice. What's the purpose of the tanto point other than looks? I'm definitely a form follows function kind of guy, and this knife wasn't designed for me.
I have two more gripes, one minor, one not so minor. The first is that the knife has a liner lock. There's nothing wrong with a well-designed liner or frame lock, I just don't like them. I prefer lock backs and mechanical (button, lever, or switch) locks. I didn't have any trouble with this liner lock slipping or bending, but I didn't like that the lock is dead level with the liner and hard to get at if your nails are trimmed. I'd expect some knurling or serrations on the release and a little bit of extension so that it works well in the wet and cold. If this is an EDC knife, it's likely to be the only knife on you, and it needs to work in every season.
My last gripe is the most serious. I don't like the grip. It's too small, has weird angles to it (almost karambit like), is pokey in the wrong places, and that damn pocket clip falls into exactly the wrong place on my hand. Keep in mind that I'm particular and have monster hands. The closed knife is smaller than my palm, and I don't think that's going to be a problem for everyone.
While the Kershaw Shuffle II looks interesting at first glance, it winds up getting in its own way. For $20, it's worth trying if you have smaller hands and work with a lot of cardboard boxes. Otherwise, it's too small for my hands and has an uncomfortable grip. The tanto point is plenty strong, but doesn't have much utility when it comes to the pocketknife's cutting and slicing tasks. There isn't enough of a guard for real stabbing duty and the blade isn't long enough to do serious damage. The breaking point for me is the blister after only a few minutes of use. With 90 percent of the world being right-handed, why would it ship from the factory with the clip set up for lefties? It's clearly swappable, and yet here we are.
Kershaw is known for excellent knives and I like a bunch of their current range as serious tools. This isn't one of them. It's more akin to a stocking stuffer or an add-on gift than something you'd want to get for its intended purpose. I was sad to write this review because I genuinely like how sturdy the knife is, that it has an unobtrusive bottle opener, and how it has a built-in dzus fastener tool. It stayed sharp through testing too, which impressed me for something so small and inexpensive. The facts are simple though: It's a pocket knife, and as a pocket knife it's not as useful as some other products out there.

Q: Issues with tk in ipython/jupyter I am trying to write a gui for launching from an ipython/jupyter notebook but am running into trouble using tkinter from the notebook, especially in getting the tk gui window to close gracefully. What are best practices for how to make/launch a tkinter gui from jupyter and then close it without killing the ipython kernel?
This is my first time trying to use tkinter. I found a lot of detailed info about how to do this with older ipython versions (e.g., iPython 3.2), but not as much for more recent versions (I am using iPython 6.5 and Python 3.7.1).
Here is an example I have tried:
%gui tk

class MyApp:

    def __init__(self, root):
        frame = tk.Frame(root)
        frame.pack()

        self.button = tk.Button(frame, text="Hello", command=self.hello_world)
        self.button.pack(side=tk.LEFT)

        self.quitbutton = tk.Button(frame, text="QUIT", fg="red", command=root.destroy)
        self.quitbutton.pack(side=tk.RIGHT)

    def hello_world(self):
        print("Hello World!")

root = tk.Tk()

app = MyApp(root)

For me, this runs fine until I try to get the tkinter window to close: either pressing my "QUIT" button or manually closing the window results in a killed kernel or a residual "python" app in my mac dock that does not go away unless I force quit it (which also kills the ipython kernel).

A: I am also facing the issue. I'm currently implementing a workaround for this.
Since the root.destroy() command doesn't stop the code of the tkinter kernal, I've used the root.quit() command. If you use root.quit, the kernel will finish with the code and you can execute the code in the next kernels and in this way, you can just let the dialog box load and stay there while you run the lines that follow. By the end I just used quit(0) to quit the whole thing entirely once my code has done what it was supposed to do.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn review
Editorial Staff December 2, 2010, 15:26 November 12, 2019
It's been a long wait, but it was totally worth it
It's been seven years since gamers last saw Camelot's critically acclaimed "Golden Sun" Role Playing Game (RPG) series on the Gameboy Advance, but fortunately, the long development cycle of the latest installment, "Golden Sun: Dark Dawn" has been a non-issue for this highly anticipated Nintendo DS exclusive. Featuring all the gameplay elements expected from a "Golden Sun" role-playing experience and enhanced by the technological capabilities of the Nintendo DS hardware, Camelot's latest definitely won't disappoint its die-hard fans who have been waiting all these years.
Set thirty years after the events of the last "Golden Sun" game, "Lost Age", "Dark Dawn" follows the adventures of the children of the series' original protagonists as they fight to save the world from a looming evil. Unfortunately, despite "Dark Dawn" being a story driven game, only long-time fans of the franchise will be genuinely engrossed by its narrative. If you've played the first two "Golden Sun" games (preferably recently), you'll find the constant references to past lore incredibly interesting. However, if you didn't follow the story closely or if this is your first experience with "Golden Sun," the incredibly text-heavy dialogues will quickly become tedious. You're occasionally given the option to respond to conversations with certain emotions, but unlike games like "Mass Effect", this amounts to little more than entertaining the illusion of interactive dialogue.
Fortunately, while "Dark Dawn's" storyline might not enthrall everyone, its combat is still rock solid. While you explore, you'll randomly be forced into battles that adhere to a very conventional, turn-based style of combat. Like previous "Golden Sun" games, you'll also be able to collect Djinn that not only allow you to customize and upgrade your character's abilities, but also summon a specific Djinn in combat to wreck havoc on the battlefield. Battles in "Dark Dawn" won't hold too many surprises for anyone familiar with the genre, but it's still incredibly enjoyable as long as you're expecting a traditional, old-school RPG.
Being a "Golden Sun" title, another area where "Dark Dawn" absolutely excels in is its puzzles. Whenever you're not managing your inventory or fighting monsters, you'll be solving a vast array of challenging obstacles and riddles that the game regularly throws your way. Some of them are more basic and merely require you to rely on whatever spell you just learned, but there are a number that force you to think more outside the box as well. All of them are creatively designed and present a fair amount of difficulty. There isn't anything that will tax your brain too much, but you'll still feel like you accomplished something meaningful when you solve one.
"Golden Sun" games have always been visually impressive, and "Dark Dawn" is no exception. Its cel-shaded (when computer graphics appear hand-drawn) character models look awesome, the environments are detailed and the animations you see in combat are smooth. On top of that, the game has a solid soundtrack that ranges from sweeping, epic scores to catchy melodies you'll find stuck in your head long after you turn your Nintendo DS off.
"Golden Sun: Dark Dawn" has flaws that prevent it from retaining the same level of prestige that its predecessors earned back on the Gameboy Advance, but that's not to suggest that it's not an excellent Japanese Role-playing Game (JRPG). The turn-based combat might be familiar, but it's fun. The storyline might not be the most creative, but it keeps the action moving and fans of the lore of "Golden Sun" will love it. The puzzles aren't the most complex, but they're uniquely designed and are just challenging enough to be challenging without ever becoming frustrating. On top of all that, the game clocks in at an impressive 30 plus hours.
If you've played the first two "Golden Sun" games, picking up "Dark Dawn" isn't really a question. You've been waiting for seven years to play this game –it's not like you ever even entertained the idea of not buying it. If you're brand new to the franchise, though, as long as you're expecting a traditional JRPG experience, "Golden Sun: Dark Dawn" is still a great game to keep you occupied through the holidays.

[Zenith News=Byeon Jinhee] Lee Byung-gon, a member of C9BOYZ, apologized for his past controversies.
On the 3rd at midnight, C9 Entertainment released their last member, BX, through C9BOYZ(provisional name)'s official SNS. BX is Lee Byung-gon, who previously made his face public for the first time through 'Mix Nine' and 'YG Jewelry Box'.
After the news of him joining C9BOYZ was revealed, Lee Byung-gon spoke on his SNS about the past controversies. He confessed "I was selected for the debut group of a broadcast program a year ago and was on a live broadcast with the members. When asked 'What graduation gift does your sister want to have?', I used the word 'Luxury bag'".
"To my dismay, I didn't think there was a problem with my words and actions even after the live show ended, and I disappointed many who supported me because of my ignorant remarks and actions. I wrote an apology with sincerity at the time, but I couldn't disclose it because of various circumstances" he said.
Lee Byung-gon apologized to the member's younger sister, members and everyone who must have been offended by what he said and did.
In addition, Lee Byung-gon said, "I've come to think more deeply about this issue and learned that I've been ignorant and lacking a lot while studying women's human rights issues. I am not good enough yet, but I will continue to study and learn and try harder to make sure that I don't disappoint everyone who supports me".
Meanwhile, C9BOYZ has confirmed its members as a five-member group, including Bae Jin-young, Yong-hee, Seung-hoon, Hyun-seok and BX, and is preparing to debut in the second half of this year.

The Jungle Book (Disney's) Parent Guide
This is more than just a "bare necessity" for your movie library
Overall B+
Disney's The Jungle Book is a light-hearted, swinging, musical adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's classic novel about a young orphan boy who is raised by wolves in the Indian Jungle until his animal friends convince him he would be better off living amongst his own kind.
Release date December 7, 1967
Violence B
Sexual Content A-
Why is The Jungle Book (Disney's) rated G? The MPAA rated The Jungle Book (Disney's) G
by Melanie Law
Have you ever wondered if wild animals raised your children? Despite wolfing down their food at the dinner table and horsing around in the living room, they just might turn out all right—as we discover in Disney's swinging tale, The Jungle Book.
Deep in the heart of the Indian jungle, a sleek black panther known as Bagheera (voice of Sebastian Cabot) hears a strange cry. Curious, the cautious cat investigates the river's shoreline until he finds its origins: a lone human baby in a broken boat. Knowing the orphan will die without nourishment, Bagheera plays stork and delivers the helpless babe to a wolf family with a newborn litter of cubs. Thanks to maternal instincts, the infant now called Mowgli (voice of Bruce Reitherman) is adopted into the household and becomes a favorite amongst the pups. But the blissful world provided by the boy's animal friends is threatened by the arrival of Sher Khan (voice of George Sanders), a menacing tiger with a vengeance for humans.
After holding a council, the elders of the pack vote the man cub out of the jungle for his own protection. It is then up to Bagheera to deliver Mowgli safely to the nearest man-village. Unfortunately, the overconfident and disrespectful lad doesn't understand his imminent danger. Giving his guardian a run for his rupees, the cheeky chap teams up with happy-go-lucky Baloo the Bear (voice of Phil Harris). Although the duo is quick to 'get with the beat', their lackadaisical lifestyle lands them in plenty of hot water as they make their way through the labyrinth of vegetation filled with musical misadventures and narrow escapes.
The Jungle Book has become more than just a 'bare necessity' for your family's video library. Along with jazzy monkeys and an elephant brigade that takes a poke at Great Britain's past military presence, Mowgli's wanderings are interwoven with lessons of friendship and responsibility. Disney borrows many great elements from several of Rudyard Kipling's classic stories to bring the steamy jungle, full of boisterously entertaining personalities, to life. Rest assured that your wrestling cubs will unanimously vote for this family favorite you loved when you were a young wild animal yourself.
Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman. Starring Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders. Running time: 78 minutes. Theatrical release December 7, 1967. Updated July 17, 2017

The Jungle Book (Disney's) Parents' Guide
Bagheera and Baloo love Mowgli, yet each has a different idea about what would be best for his future. Although Bagheera's approach seems harsh while Baloo's appears idyllic, what do you think the results of each method would be? Why is the hard way often the best way?
Psychologists often debate over what has more influence in our lives: Nature (what we are born like) or nurture (how we are raised). This tug-of-war is played out in the extreme case presented here because Mowgli was born human, yet raised as a wolf. Which of these two factors has the greatest influence on who you are?

SEC halts Scentkoworld's 'buy and earn' scheme
philbiznews-admin
Business / Money Matters / News
By THEPHILBIZNEWS STAFF
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ordered Scentko World Corporation (Scentkoworld) and Brendahl Cruz Holdings, Inc. (Brendahl) to stop soliciting investments from the public through its "buy and earn" program.
The Commission en banc issued the cease and desist order on September 24 against Scentkoworld, its purported parent (company) Brendahl, officers, directors, representatives, salesmen, agents and any and all persons claiming and acting for and in their behalf.
Scentkoworld and Brendahl were further enjoined from transacting business involving the funds in their depository banks, and from transferring, disposing or conveying in any other manner all related assets for the benefit of investors.
The SEC also directed Scentkoworld and Brendahl to cease their internet presence relating to their unauthorized investment-taking activities.
"The Commission will institute appropriate administrative and criminal action against any person/s or entities found to act as solicitors, information providers, salesmen, agents, brokers, dealers or the like for and in behalf of the subject corporations," the order read.
Evidence gathered by the SEC Enforcement and Investor Protection Department (EIPD) showed that Scentkoworld and Brendahl have sold and offered for sale securities, in the form of investment contracts, to the public without the necessary license from the Commission.
The SEC also discovered that Scentkoworld misrepresented the incorporation of Brendahl to falsely claim that it secured a secondary license from the Commission.
On social media, the respondent further stated that Brendahl would soon buy a rural bank or could even put up its own bank.
However, certifications issued by the Commission's Corporate Governance and Finance Department and Markets and Securities Regulation Department showed that Brendahl has not obtained any secondary license.
Under its investment scheme, Scentkoworld entices the public to buy perfume and beauty products in exchange for "cash sales rewards" equivalent to 400 percent of the purchase price.
For instance, a member is promised a return of P20,000 for simply buying a package worth P5,000.
A member may receive the promised return in more or less than 30 days, without having to resell the products, depending on how soon Scentkoworld can recruit new members.
Aside from the cash sales rewards, an existing member may receive a referral fee equivalent to 10 percent of the amount invested by the new member.
The "buy and earn" program of Scentkoworld satisfies all the elements of an investment contract, where there is investment of money in a common enterprise with expectation of profits derived primarily from the efforts of others.
Furthermore, the act of Scentkoworld in allowing its members to discuss, orient and make members of the public familiar with its schemes and inviting them to join through Facebook and YouTube constitutes public offering.
In this light, the SEC noted: "Based on the evidence presented, the selling or the offering for sale of securities whether directly or indirectly, in the form of investment contract, without the necessary license or permit will operate as a fraud on investors or is likely to cause grave or irreparable injury or prejudice to the investing public. Thus, they must be restrained."
Under Section 8 of Republic Act 8799, or the Securities Regulation Code (SRC), securities such as investment contracts shall not be sold or offered for sale or distribution without a registration statement duly filed and approved by the Commission.
Section 28 of the SRC adds that no person shall engage in the business of buying or selling securities in the Philippines as a broker or dealer, or act as a salesman, or an associated person of any broker or dealer unless registered with the SEC.
Those acting as salesman, broker or agent of Scentkoworld and Brendahl may be prosecuted and held criminally liable.
They may face a maximum fine of PHP5 million or imprisonment of 21 years or both, in accordance with Section 73 of the SRC.
The SEC earlier issued an advisory against Scentkoworld and Brendahl. The public may report to the EIPD any information on the respondents' operations by calling (02) 818-6047.

UPDATE: The United States Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue will be unable to attend the San Angelo listening sessions to discuss the upcoming Farm Bill.
Perdue has unforeseen commitments in Washington D.C. that prevent him from attending the event, a news release states. All other aspects of the event should continue as planned.
ORIGINAL STORY — The future of Texas agriculture as it measures up to legislative policy will be in the spotlight this week, when the United States Secretary of Agriculture. and members of the House Agriculture Committee, come to San Angelo for a listening session with farmers, ranchers and stakeholders to gather input on the 2018 Farm Bill.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and the House Agriculture Committee — chaired by West Texas Congressman Michael Conaway and joined by Ranking Member Collin Peterson of Minnesota — will host a listening session Monday, July 31, 2017, titled "The Next Farm Bill, Conversations in the Field."
"San Angelo is a strategically-important location for a listening session because of agriculture's integral presence both in the region, and Texas," Conaway said.

On Tuesday, Aug. 1, the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce will host the 14th Annual West Texas Legislative Summit starting at 8 a.m. The focus will be on the 2018 Farm Bill.
Conaway and additional members of Congress will be special guests at the legislative summit Tuesday.
"With the farm economy in its worst slide since the Great Depression, producers in every region of the country have important perspectives about what is and isn't working in agricultural policy," said Conaway, who represents San Angelo, Midland and parts of the Big Country and South Plains.

"Ultimately, we're committed to providing Americans with a strong farm bill. Our U.S. agriculture community is as wide and diverse as its citizens, with each sector facing different challenges and opportunities," he said.
As part of the summit, a reception and dinner are scheduled at the Historic Fort Concho Stables on Monday.
"For two days, San Angelo will be at the center of agriculture in the country," said Dan Koenig, president of the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce. "The Summit allows us to network, dialogue, and learn from informative speakers and panel presentations on issues impacting our agricultural businesses and economy."
The Braden farm in northern Reagan County is the Middle Concho S.W.D.C. conservation farming operation of the year.
The Concho Valley is home to various agriculture businesses, including wheat, corn, grapes, beef, sheep, wool, mohair, goats and cotton.
"This is a great opportunity to show what a diverse area the Concho Valley really is," said Doyle Schniers, Wall farmer and Southern Rolling Plains Cotton Growers Association past president, adding that he appreciates the work of Angelo State University and the Chamber to showcase the areas rich agricultural industry.
The San Angelo listening session follows a June 24 session by the House Agriculture Committee at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
"These listening sessions are a continuation of the Committee's review of farm bill programs and I'm looking forward to hearing directly from farmers and others impacted by the farm bill. Real world examples of what is, and maybe isn't, working will help better inform Committee members when we begin the task of writing a new farm bill," Peterson said.
Additional sessions are scheduled in Morgan, Minnesota, on Aug. 3, Modesto, California, Aug. 5, and Aug. 30, in Decatur, Illinois.
"Every group has its own story to tell and a unique stake in the policy," Conaway said. "Yet, the thing that unites us is the understanding that agriculture is important to every American and is vital to feeding and clothing our nation and the world."

Crime against humanity: 5G is a weapons deployment system masquerading as a communications enhancement
Thursday, June 23, 2022 by: Mary Villareal
Tags: 5g, badhealth, big government, Communications, conspiracy, Dangerous, deception, EMF, military tech, national security, radiation, smart meters, vaccines, weapons technology
(Natural News) For weapons expert Mark Steele, 5G constitutes a heinous crime. He said 5G is a compartmentalized weapons deployment system that masquerades as a benign technological advancement for enhanced communications and faster downloads.
Steele said 5G has the capability to target, acquire and attack vaccinated individuals through the nano-metamaterial antenna in Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines. The Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) will need 5G networks to maintain geo-position and navigate their environment to the target because these weapons cannot rely simply on satellite communications, which can be affected by inclement weather events and signal latency.
A weapon can be a device, tool or action fashioned to cause physical or psychological harm. People in the United Kingdom have been concerned about its dangers and "conspiracy theorists," as the media tried to paint it, have been accused of attacking cellphone towers in an attempt to stop 5G rollout.
"The compartmentalization of weapons systems development has played a crucial role in not alerting those within the regulatory authorities and telecommunications industry to the real purpose and intentions of those ultimately driving and funding the deployment of 5G and biological chemical weapons masquerading as COVID-19 vaccines for a planned control and command kill grid," Steele wrote in his report about 5G.
He also said the world is blindly following the plans of the technocratic elite and the military-industrial-pharma complex to terminate large numbers within populations across the world.
Steele said 5G is a weapon system and a crime against humanity. "The prima facie evidence of this globalist depopulation agenda is unequivocal and should be tested in the courts so that the conspirators involved in this murderous plan can be brought to justice." (Related: Activating 5G towers could KILL people who took COVID-19 vaccines, analysts warn.)
Aviation industry concerned about 5G interference during flights
The aviation industry, including Boeing and Airbus, raised concerns regarding the use of 5G because it can endanger passenger aircraft. Airbus America and Boeing bosses, Jeff Knittel and David Calhoun, co-signed a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg detailing their concerns over the implementation of 5G in the United States.
Their letters indicated that they have been working with other aviation industry stakeholders in the U.S. to understand the potential of 5G to interfere with radio altimeters, which measure aircraft height above ground.
Leading telecom operators Verizon and AT&T postponed the launch of their new frequency bands after the U.S. aviation regulator expressed concerns over the possible interference of 5G with the altimeters.
Steele explained that the 5G antenna design uses a larger input and directs the output to deliver focused and high-power data compression signals. He also said passenger aircraft do not have military mitigation technologies in a civilian setting to protect their pilots or their plane flight control systems against directed energy emissions.
Ceragon Networks, the leading solutions provider of 5G wireless transport system, stated that about 38 percent of all global telecom sites will be connected to the rest of the network via wireless backhaul by 2025. (Related: Biden's DHS labels "misinformation" about 5G to be a domestic terror threat.)
Steele emphasized in his report that it is now even more important to differentiate the availability of the backhaul because simulations have shown that there is an ever-increasing capacity demand for wireless connections.
The deployment of 5G technology is already underway by governments across the world in all towns and cities with no obligatory prior environmental impact analysis or public insurance for instruments of harm.
Electromagnetic frequencies and their harmful effects
The World Health Organization estimated in 2019 that around 30 percent of the population in first-world countries are exposed to high levels of electromagnetic frequencies or EMFs, and therefore vulnerable to their harmful effects.
The telecoms industry and other regulatory bodies have continually denied the real purpose and existence of the radiation dangers posed by the deployment of 5G technologies and have actively misled the public by issuing false press releases through media and in courts in various attempts at discrediting experts, including Steele himself.
