Next, say hi to the Meerkats from Botswana , they are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
KL Tower Mini Zoo is also a petting zoo, it features a combination of domesticated animals and some wild species that are docile enough to touch and feed. My first time touching the lively Wallaby, it is smooth and soft.
The Albino "Golden" Python and the "snow white" Monkey.
next, let's proceed to the outdoor zone, there are pony and ostrich.
Now… the most popular animal in the zoo, the cute alpaca. If you have no time to go Taiwan or Australia to see the Alpaca, trust me, this one is much better. Cleaner and cuter ! Lemme show you my recent Taiwan trip and you may compare the Alpaca in Taiwan & Malaysia.
now we moved on to the Bird School.. these birds love playing with people.. the kids would love it !
The entrance fee is RM32 (adult) and RM27(children below 11 years old respectively & senior citizen above 60 years old). Free entrance for child below 90cm in height. For Mykad holders, you can get the mini package @ RM 50 for 1 adult and 1 child, Family package @ RM 98 for 2 adults and 2 children.

CFPB files cross-motion for summary judgment in lawsuit alleging wrongful delay in Section 1071 implementation; describes rulemaking plan
by Alan S. Kaplinsky | Ballard Spahr LLP
The CFPB has filed a cross-motion for summary judgment in the lawsuit filed by the California Reinvestment Coalition, the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders, and two individual small business owners seeking a declaration that the CFPB's failure to issue regulations implementing Section 1071 violates the Administrative Procedure Act and an order directing the CFPB to issue such regulations within six months. Earlier this month, the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment and the case was assigned to a mediator.
The Bureau filed an answer to the amended complaint in which it asserted two affirmative defenses: the plaintiffs lack standing to bring the action and their APA claim is barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The plaintiffs claim they are entitled to the relief they seek under the APA provision that allows a court to compel agency action that is "unreasonably delayed." Relying on Ninth Circuit precedent, the Bureau characterizes such an order as "a form of mandamus" that is justified only in "exceptional circumstances."
The Bureau asserts such circumstances do not exist and it is not unreasonable for it to have not yet issued a Section 1071 rule because:
It "has made considerable progress in undertaking the information-gathering necessary to support an informed rulemaking
In Dodd-Frank, Congress assigned it multiple mandatory rulemakings but did not include Section 1071 rulemaking among those for which it imposed statutory deadlines, thus providing a "strong signal that Congress did not expect the Bureau to begin work on the Section 1071 rulemaking right away"
It "has a plan to ensure that it can promptly issue a thoughtful and effective rule to implement Section 1071"
In describing its rulemaking plan, the Bureau states that the plan "focuses on the next year of its rulemaking work." The Bureau "intends to complete its internal policymaking process in the next six months" and within six months thereafter (estimated to be by next November), it "expects to release a detailed outline of the proposals under consideration" to be followed by a report issued by a SBREFA panel "within two months of being officially convened." However, because "the Bureau cannot predict the nature and extent of the comments it will receive in connection with the SBREFA process, or that it will receive in response to a notice of proposed rulemaking…the Bureau's plan does not yet include intended dates for the issuance of a proposed or final rule." The Bureau notes, however, that "for completed rulemakings that went through the SBREFA process in recent years, the Bureau took roughly three to eleven months to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking after completion of the SBREFA process, and approximately eleven months to issue a final rule after the end of the proposal's comment period."
The Bureau further argues that the "exceptional circumstances" required for mandamus do not exist because: (1) the completion of rulemaking, while in the public interest, is not necessary to protect human health and rushing to issue a poorly designed rule could harm the businesses Section 1071 was meant to help, and (2) expediting the Section 1071 rulemaking further could interfere with other important regulatory projects such as addressing the temporary qualified mortgage provision.
The Bureau also makes the alternative argument that assuming the plaintiffs are entitled to any relief, such relief should not include a rulemaking deadline but should be limited to requiring the Bureau to issue periodic status reports on its rulemaking. According to the Bureau, imposing such a deadline is only appropriate where it is necessary to protect human health or to deal with an agency that has ignored prior judicial warnings or mandates.
In its cross-motion, the Bureau references the symposium on Section 1071 that it held on November 6, 2019 as one of the actions it has taken to commence Section 1071 rulemaking.

Skyway Pier Visitors Reflect On Piney Point, Want The Best For Their Precious Resource
WUSF Public Media - WUSF 89.7 | By Bradley George,

WUSF's Bradley George speaks with Sherry and Dan Spires at the Skyway Fishing Pier
As millions of gallons of polluted water spilled into Tampa Bay from Piney Point on Tuesday, WUSF reporters Daylina Miller and Bradley George headed out to hear what people who enjoy the bay think.
We found Annie Ansperry just outside her home: a converted school bus parked on the Manatee County side of the Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier.
She's been travelling the country for about three years, working as a poet and artist (she documents her adventures on Instagram). The Skyway pier has become a favorite stop during her three-week stint in St. Petersburg.
"I'll be in town and then I come back out here to the Skyway bridge, because this is just open and not really crowded," she said. "And the view and then the fresh air and watching the boats. It's been very peaceful."
Ansperry says she uses about two gallons of water a day while living in the bus. That, and the situation at Piney Point, made her think about the preciousness of water as a natural resource.
"Fresh water is becoming a commodity that will be more valuable than gold," she said. "And we just really, really need to be more aware of of the water that we use daily. Where it goes and how we can best conserve it and then treat it well and send it on its way."
A few feet away, Dan and Sherry Spires were sunbathing in front of their car. The Michigan snowbirds have spent winters in Florida for about 25 years.
"There's worse things out there that are polluting the water. It's bad, but it's not that bad," Sherry said.
Dan echoed the frustration of many Manatee County residents who say Piney Point's owners should have cleaned up the site sooner.
"They will take care of that problem," he said. "I mean, it should have been done sooner, but at least they're on top of it, and seem to have the resources to get after it."
Back at her bus, Ansperry said she is praying that the wastewater will be drained quickly.
"Especially as I'm watching out right now out to the water and seeing, beautiful fresh water coming in. We don't want that polluted," she said as the midday sun shimmered on Tampa Bay.

Gustav sent a few waves to Anna Maria Island, Sunday, and brought out a crowd of surfers and onlookers. A high tide and offshore wind meant the waves broke close to shore but some good rides were possible.
Some gusty showers were about the only impact Gustav had on Anna Maria Island but the rain and possibly a raised sea level from the effects of surge caused an above average high tide.

Perfect beach weather greeted spring break visitors to the Sun Coast this weekend. A refreshing breeze made the beach a comfortable place to get the summer tan started.
The UV index is 9 (very high) so be careful not to stay exposed for long. Warm gulf air ahead of an approaching mild front brought out locals and tourists alike. The S wind also pushed up some breakers for a few surfers. As the wind clocks around to the west and drops the surf may clean up a little, but onshore conditions prevail through Sunday.

Films in 2013: June
Keisha / July 1, 2013
Don't really have much to introduce here for the month of June, other than it's summer and I've spent much of it indoors watching movies (but that's also partly because it's been raining a lot where I live so there's not much to do outside anyway). As you'll see under the cut, I mostly watched movies from the 40s and 50s and didn't diversify my selection as much as I'd have liked to…but I at least watched one movie from each decade, from the 1920s onward. I hope to watch more of a variety next month!
Stoker (2013)
It's Love I'm After (1937)
What a Way to Go! (1964)
Two Women (1960)
Viva Las Vegas (1964)
The Search (1948)
For Me and My Gal (1942)
Imitation of Life (1959)
Million Dollar Mermaid (1952)
Born to Be Bad (1950)
Julia Misbehaves (1948)
It Happens Every Spring (1949)
I Confess (1953)
Before Midnight (2013)
Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955)
Postcards from the Edge (1990)
Around the World in Eighty Days (1956)
Cat Ballou (1957)
A Hole in the Head (1959)
A Damsel in Distress (1937)
Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939)
The Devil and Miss Jones (1941)
The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941)
Watched 4 movies from the year 1948.
Watched 3 movies featuring/starring Joan Fontaine.
Watched 3 movies starring Montgomery Clift (2 from the year 1948).
Watched 3 movies featuring/starring Shirley MacLaine (2 of them in a row).
Watched 2 movies starring Lana Turner in a row on TCM.
Watched 3 movies starring/featuring Walter Pidgeon (2 of them in a row on TCM).
Watched 2 movies from the year 1952 in a row on TCM.
All the films I watched from the 2010s decade were 2013 releases.
Watched 2 movies directed by Sam Wood in a row.
Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948), directed by Max Ophüls
This is one of those films for me that I can't stop thinking about days after watching it. Besides her role in Rebecca, this is my favorite of Joan Fontaine's roles (and I believe this is actually her favorite as well). The film is told in flashback through a letter given to Louis Jourdan from her, so we get to see Fontaine first as a young girl, and as usual, she plays the naive, young character very well. I love the way the movie was filmed too, with great lighting and camera angles that helped elevate the story.
Can't think of any film at the moment that's similar to this, but if you're a fan of Joan Fontaine like I am, this is definitely one of her greatest efforts and is worth watching.
It's Love I'm After (1937), directed by Archie Mayo
One of the films I had a fun time watching this month, this is a delightful screwball comedy with a wonderful cast. Leslie Howard is brilliant as a hammy actor and plays off of Bette Davis very well. Eric Blore, one of my favorite character actors, plays a great companion to Leslie Howard, and this may just be my favorite role of his. And Olivia de Havilland is just perfect as a starstruck fan. Speaking of fans, this is a real treat for anyone who's a fan of Gone with the Wind, as there's a surprising amount of connections to the film, which came out 2 years after this. Per IMDb trivia: "This film has an unusually high number of connections to Gone with the Wind: the first time Howard and de Havilland acted together before playing Ashley and Melanie; Davis, who at one time was considered for Scarlett; and the mention by de Havilland of Clark Gable near the end."
Recommended if you enjoy: Though I have yet to see it, a few of the reviews/comments I read about this film compared it to Twentieth Century.
The Search (1948), directed by Fred Zinnemann
I'm shocked a movie like this isn't talked about more or isn't as well-remembered as other classics from this era. It's a really beautiful story, with a mom searching for her son and Montgomery Clift (in an Oscar-nominated performance) taking said son under his wing for the time being. That wasn't really a great explanation of the movie, but I don't want to say a lot about it because, like any movie, the less you know before watching a movie the better. I really encourage anyone who hasn't seen this wonderful film to watch it asap, in fact here it is in full on YouTube! The film won the Academy Award for Best Writing, Motion Picture Story, as well as the Juvenile Award for Ivan Jandl.
Recommended if you enjoy: Honestly can't think of any other film I've seen that's like this, but if you like WWII drama you should enjoy this. Or if you like From Here to Eternity, which is also directed by Fred Zinnemann and stars Montgomery Clift.
Imitation of Life (1959), directed by Douglas Sirk
I saw the original back in February for TCM's 31 Days of Oscar and liked that a lot, so I figured this would be good too, especially with Douglas Sirk at the helm. Great acting all around, especially from Juanita Moore and Susan Kohner, who are pictured above. And the technicolor is really nice in this, as well as the costume design. The film examines the social issues of race and gender roles well, it's a definite must-see.
Recommended if you enjoy: Douglas Sirk's melodramas (or melodramas in general).
Before Midnight (2013), directed by Richard Linklater
And a new movie release makes my top 5! I fell in love with the two movies that came out prior to this when I finally watched them for the first time last year, so I had some pretty high expectations going into this. As a side note, I had maybe one of the best theater experiences watching this; I saw it on a Wednesday afternoon and came to a completely empty theater, so it was like a private screening just for me! Anyway, one review I read said the first two movies were about romance, and this one is about love, and I couldn't agree more. Since Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) are no longer strangers, their discussions are much more personal as they travel through Greece. Much of the film felt so personal and intimate, I felt just like a fly on the wall watching them. Delpy and Hawke really live and breathe these characters, and I hope come awards season, Academy members recognize them with at least a nomination (they're sure to get at least a writing one like they and the director did for Before Sunset, at least I hope so!).
Recommended if you enjoy: Its predecessors of course: Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.

3 thoughts on "Films in 2013: June"
Glad you enjoyed It's Love I'm After and Imitation of Life so much. Those are two of my favorites!
So there are two from your list I'm interested to hear your thoughts on: The Devil and Miss Jones, which I thought was both funny and sweet, and Cat Ballou,which I recently reviewed on my site!
And I'll definitely check out 'The Search'!
I really enjoyed The Devil and Miss Jones, Jean Arthur is one of my favorite actresses and I thought she worked well off of Charles Coburn (also love them together with Joel McCrea in The More the Merrier)!
Just read your review, and I share the same thoughts. Though the musical aspects didn't bother me too much, and surprisingly the theme didn't get stuck in my head afterwards, so that might explain why I didn't mind it! I agree with you though, it might have made for a more interesting movie had it stuck to a more serious tone, I like a good revenge western.
I remember reading awhile ago that Lee Marvin won for his dual role so I was curious to see him in this…I thought he was entertaining enough, but it is an odd role to win an Oscar for. I haven't seen the other performances nominated that year, but he was up against the likes of Richard Burton and Laurence Olivier, and he seemed to be a frontrunner since he won the Golden Globe, BAFTA, etc.

Bentley College Readies Legal Content Distribution
Discuss Slyck's latest news
by SlyckTom » Mon Mar 28, 2005 3:27 pm
College and University campuses have been a file-sharing hot spot since Napster's invention in 1999. Although Napster was subsequently shut down, other methods of file-sharing have permeated college dorm rooms, frustrating the copyright industry and network administrators alike.
Campus network administrators are concerned about P2P networking perhaps just as much as the RIAA, however for much different reasons. Two issues, such as bandwidth consumption and legal entanglements with the copyright industry, have encouraged campus administrators to pursue alternative music options. Some universities, such as Penn State, have inked deals with Napster (the new, paid service of course.) This allows students to download music while keeping the RIAA off Penn State's back.
Like Penn State, most college and university campuses have deals with music-only services. Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts is breaking from this mold to offer not only music, but also movies, student-produced content and other community features.
How will Bentley College provide this media? It has partnered up with Ruckus Network, a Virginia based firm that provides media distribution architecture to college and university campuses. The industry-sanctioned service provides music from major as well as independent labels through centralized campus locations. In addition, the service has a limited array of movie content.
The service will be provided free to undergraduate, on-campus students.
"We selected Ruckus over other well-known services such as Napster and Rhapsody because it offers content beyond music," said Bentley Vice President for Information Technology and Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Traci Logan. "Ruckus is dedicated to providing digital entertainment based on the interests, lifestyle, and preferences of college students and is one of the few services to also offer video. From a research perspective, we're interested in whether the provision of a legal alternative for movies and music influences student behavior and attitudes towards illegal file sharing."
It appears the framework of Ruckus Network allows network administrators more control over their distribution service than other sanctioned networks, such as Napster or Rhapsody. While P2P purists may scoff at the service, it does allow local and independent projects to be distributed freely, something the aforementioned services do not.

Interesting to hear people discussing Napster again in conjunction with a desire to remain legal.
It appears the framework of Ruckus Network allows network administrators more control over their distribution service than other sanctioned networks, such as Napster or Rhapsody.
This also allows them to place advertising and subliminal messages into the service (not that they would EVER consider doing such a thing ).

i would suggest using wireless networks with advanced antennas and amplifiers. This way students can create communities and distribute any content they want free or with ads.
another alternative is my project - it promises to make work of intelligent firewalls harder.

For the sake of argument, let's consider what would happen if God in fact orchestrated a "burning bush" type scenario for each and every person on earth, revealing to all his son Jesus Christ. Would everyone then put their love, trust, and faith in Jesus? I suspect they would not. To the contrary, scripture records many incidents where God revealed himself in a very direct manner to no avail. The life and ministry of Jesus is a quintessential example, yet the religious leaders rejected and crucified him rather than recognize him as valid. How antithetical! These individuals were presented with irrefutable evidence, yet they found cause to reject that evidence.
Jesus spoke of this phenomenon during his ministry. In Luke chapter 16, Jesus relates the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. In this narrative, Lazarus represents a beggar, sick and dejected. The unnamed "rich man" passed daily by this neglected individual, offering no assistance. The narrative continues, describing how Lazarus died and was carried by angels to a place of bliss. The rich man also perished and was taken to Hades, a place of torment and anguish. Through a unique lens, we then overhear a conversation between the rich man and Abraham, who explains why Lazarus is experiencing bliss and he a veritable hell.
Now the interesting and pertinent aspect of this story occurs when the rich man requests that Abraham send Lazarus to warn his brothers, noting a witness from the grave would surely change the minds of his brothers and lead them to repentance. Abraham firmly rejects this notion, stating they have "Moses and the prophets," and that even a witness from the grave would not convince them of the truth. This piece of narrative speaks well to the fact that a miraculous occurrence isn't necessarily a catalyst for belief. People are fickle and soon forget. The poignancy of a spectacular event soon diminishes. Days and weeks and months transpire, and the effects are negated. The force of the initial impression wears off. If a person is basing their faith on miracles, they will require a steady influx.
Don't misunderstand me, as I believe in miracles. I believe the gifts of the Spirit are in operation today. I'm not criticizing those who seek the miraculous. To the contrary! We should pray and petition God to work miraculously. The point I'm attempting to address concerns the fact that God doesn't reveal himself in such as manner because people are hard-hearted and very willing to present excuses as to why something isn't legitimate. In considering this, 2 Corinthians 4:4 seems relevant.
Finally, I would suggest that God desires a loving relationship with us. If God were reduced to a cosmic dispenser of miraculous proof, thundering from the clouds and startling people into submission, this would perhaps miss the mark concerning his intent for a relationship with us.
Why doesn't God send a dead relative to warn unbelievers? Why doesn't he shout at us from a burning bush? As Abraham related to the rich man, so too would I relate to the skeptic critically asking these questions; if someone is not convinced by the nature of God through general revelation and scripture, these occurrences wouldn't make much of a difference. They would be explained away, discarded and forgotten. True faith occurs through a loving relationship with our creator, not through a miraculous evidential hammering. Now, this isn't to say that God has not and does not utilize the miraculous for the purpose of persuasion. The early church was fueled by miracles, as was the more recent Pentecostal movement, for example. Paul was converted on the road to Damascus (Acts chapter 9) in a dramatic revelation of light and voice.
When Jesus was tempted by Satan to call on God to perform miracles, he recited from Deuteronomy, "You shall not put the Lord your God to the test." Faith is that relational component that doesn't require proof. Faith may result in the miraculous, but it doesn't require it as a prerequisite. As Hebrews 11:1 so eloquently relates, "…faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." What Jesus was describing in the parable of the rich man and Lazerus was that faith supersedes an evidential boundary and that rote evidence is never an impetus for belief.
So how do we answer the question, "why doesn't God reveal himself directly?" My answer is that he does. He reveals himself through creation, through scripture, through our innate desire to know and have a relationship with him, and yes, sometimes through the miraculous. He revealed himself through Christ and the unique work of the atonement.
there are two universes, identical in every way. each has life-changing god-talk. each has morality. each has logic. each has order, has meaningful experiences, and so on. they only differ in that one universe has a god while the other doesn't.
one person will inevitably claim that no universe can exist without god.
and equally lacking any justification for saying so, another will claim that no universe requires a god to exist at all.
for the less credulous, there is no fiat and these two universes demonstrate deep problems for anyone thinking there are or are not gods.
for the believer, god-talk cannot be known to be about god at all, and, that the existence of god cannot be said to be what makes god-talk meaningful.
for both, no feature of reality can be said to justify any disposition about the existence of deity.
that means god-talk is all that matters about the idea of god, not the existence of god himself. as such, god-talk is anthropomorphic even if there is a god. that's because given "two universes", the meaning of god-talk is tied to and derives from human well-being.
finally then, given "two universes", genuine doubt about the existence of god is possible, and this implies there is no fact of the matter of god; so effectively, "god" and "nothing" have more in common than "god" and something since "god" manifests in reality exactly like one but not all all like the other.
there's a reason the apophatic tradition is a longer running enterprise than the cataphatic.
I spent a few moments trying to unpack this Steven and struggled. I'm not sure a coherent premise or point is being made. Some of your suggestions are based on subjective notions pertaining to the existence of a deity. I'm honestly not sure if you are using "two universes" rhetorically or literally. I appreciate you stopping by, however. Take care.
it's rhetorical. the question is if you were placed in either universe, could you tell which one? if there's no way to answer the question, then there's no way to tell whether ours is a universe with our without god. there's nothing subjective going on at all.
Thank you for clarifying. However, I would be inclined to disagree. To pose a universe without God presents a host of metaphysical, epistemological and ethical issues. You are immediately presented with issues such as infinite regression, morality becomes subjective, etc.
That was partially the purpose of the original article. God needn't reveal himself in an astounding fashion to prove his existence. It is apparent, rather. Monotheism makes sense and answers a host of otherwise inexplicable problems.
the argument for the existence of god, ex nihilo nihil fit, and experience, and science can only affirm that something is eternal because "nothing" isn't a possible state of affairs. so since something exists, something always has.
this is a sound argument. however, there isn't even a valid argument which had been made to conclude this eternality is volitional.
the problem of infinite regression isn't a problem after all.
there are then no epistemological or especially ethical issue raised at all.
the point of "two universes" is to exactly show that no theist nor atheist can suggest any feature of reality (such as ethics and morality, maths, logic, meaning in life, and so on) … each universe is identical, reach has maths, logic, ethics and morals, and little baby kittens too.
what your job is with this scenario, is to tell me some way to tell which is the universe with god and the one without. "it's apparent" is not coherent, given the universe without god appears to be the very same to the universe without, and vice versa.
the exercise is to point out to anyone in either side of the question of the existence of god how much of their chatter is merely fiat, all of it.
so, can you give me some way to tell one universe from the other?
The way to to tell the difference is the universe without God is fictional. You are predicating your argument on a scenario that I don't believe is logical. You discard the difficulties of explaining origins, both of the universe, as well as life, in posing this hypothetical scenario. I'm not willing to discard morality. What initiated the chain of cause and effect if not God? Go to "eternity" past, and tell me what initiated the first event in the chain of cause and effect that brought us to the present in a "universe" devoid of God. I agree that something must exist only in the regard that "something" is God. Everything else is contingent. God is necessary.
Sure, you can call it "God of the gaps," but if monotheism is the most coherent, logical explanation of the universe in which we live, why ignore it? You have reached a conclusion before posing a question. By posing the question, you ignore a multiplicity of metaphysical issues simply to arrive at the question. This occurs frequently in academia. Conclusions can only be reached if they are in accordance with principles of humanism.
Are you a nihilist, then? May I ask what proof, if any, would convince you of God?
god, by the way, isn't a word with any inherent meaning. so, "goddidit" equally leaves all the same "difficult problems" unresolved. nature is what stands to explain god, god cannot explain nature. finally, all ideas entail problems including "god", however, you run the risk of "god of the gaps" reasoning when god-spackle is used to cover the rough sorts and divets.


BI student Nora Krokan (22) believes lecturers with business experience become role models more often than those without. NHO wants business executives as full-time lecturing professors, Dagens Næringsliv writes.
– The lecturer in marketing had worked 15 years as a marketing director. He had fun cases and stories from his own projects and could share stories of what worked and not. His classes were always full, BI student Nora Krokan said to DN.
Krokan is in her second year at MSc in Business at BI and is responsible for policy and cooperation at the student union SBIO.
For Krokan the former Marketing Director became a role model. And it is the same with other lecturers who have practical experience, Krokan said.
- I have the impression that lecturers with business experience often have a different appearance in teaching. They have the ability to engage the students because it feels more relevant when you get the impression that the lecturers know what they are talking about, she said.
The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise (NHO) states that they also would like to see more business executives as full-time educational professors in the future.
- We need manpower, which is sufficiently adapted to the labor market's needs. In that context, we propose to establish a position, which also allows people who primarily have experience from working life or the public sector, to be employed as practice professors, competence director Are Turmo at NHO said to DN.
He envisions that practice professors could have similar length of experience from employment as traditional professors have in academia. It will help to inspire faculty at universities and colleges to pick up on trends from business and industry, Turmo said.
Pro-rector at BI, Dag Morten Dalen believes interaction between the work force and academia could be better, but primarily through the mechanisms already in use by BI.
He explains that BI follows international accreditation standards, which places requirements on their faculty's qualifications. At least 40 per cent should have a solid, academic record. About 20 per cent of professionals at BI have practice from, or extensive background in business.


Sioux Indians "Withdraw From the USA"? Or not!
Here is the kind of story that really proves how little the MSM bothers to research things, how they often simply print glorified press releases without doing any real "journalism," and how the defective end product gets picked up and regurgitated like it is suddenly a "fact." In this one we have the story of "the Lakota Sioux Indians" announcing that "they" have withdrawn from agreed upon treaties with the US government and that they are now a sovereign nation, no longer to be called citizens of the USA. Problem is "the Lakota Sioux Indians" that have made this announcement are just an unaffiliated group of Indian activists the leader of whom does not represent the official Lakota tribe leadership! Yet here is the news media reporting this story as if all "the Lakota Sioux Indians" have banded together and quit the union.
Wow, it sounds momentous, alright. But, who says that "the Lakota Sioux Indians" have abandoned their treaties?
"We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us," said Russell Means, a longtime Indian rights activist. "This is according to the laws of the United States, specifically Article 6 of the Constitution," which states that treaties are the supreme law of the land.
And who is the Russell Means? He is a long time Indian activist who does not officially represent any tribe, that's who. It takes the local press to make this clear. The Rapid City Journal of Rapid City, South Dakota informs us that, "Means' group is based in Porcupine on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation," and that "it is not an agency or branch of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Means ran unsuccessfully for president of the tribe in 2006."
Yet in report after report, this Means character is presented as if he is "the Lakota Sioux" when, in truth, all he really is is A Lakota Sioux -- not a representative of all of them. He does not represent American Indians except as a tangential, activist. He has no authority to make this "declaration of Independence" for the Lakota or any other American Indian tribe.
It turns out that these reports are nearly all just a rehash of Russell Means' press releases and not based on any real reporting at all.
So, since this story wasn't reported correctly, foreigners are imagining that all American Indians are trying to leave the USA and become a new nation. The truth is less shocking, that Russell Means does not represent "the Lakota Sioux Indians" at all.

The strength of the volume is in its internal consistency of diagnostic approaches, therapeutic decisions, multidisciplinary treatment programs, and surgical techniques.
Author: Jatin P. Shah
Publisher: PMPH-USA
Dr. Jatin P. Shah has brought together contributing authors in a single volume that represents the head and neck management team at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The strength of the volume is in its internal consistency of diagnostic approaches, therapeutic decisions, multidisciplinary treatment programs, and surgical techniques. An effort has also been made to be comprehensive and to give a balanced view to other treatment approaches. Essential to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease is the involvement of a multidisciplinary management team of medical experts. Such disease management teams develop treatment algorithms and establish treatment guidelines to unify an approach to maintain internal consistency, initiate investigative protocols, and push the frontiers in the battle against cancer.

Kim Kardashian Had Her Third Baby And Here Are All The Deets!
I can't remember a time (in my short lifespan of 23 years) when Kim Kardashian was off the news shelf. The socialite has always been out there. In fact, the whole Kardashian clan has been a bunch of bustling social butterflies. Their TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians is currently on its 14th season and has been on-air for 11 years straight.
Recently, there was the surprising news of both Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian being pregnant at the same time. While Kylie still hasn't confirmed the news, we know that Khloe is definitely expecting a baby soon. Amidst all these speculations, Kim declared she's having her third baby through a surrogate mother, on the season 14 promo of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Phew, that's one busy family!
Kim has now been blessed with a baby girl and we're super excited for her! Mainly because, in the past, Kim has had medical issues with her pregnancies. Which is also why the couple decided to opt for surrogacy this time. In a statement, Kim said "January 15, 2018, 12:47 a.m., 7 lbs 6 oz. Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl. We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care. North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister. Love, Kim Kardashian West."
She then went on to post a picture of herself on Instagram with the #momofthree.
The family has done quite a job, however, at protecting the identity of the surrogate mother. That definitely would have been a task, considering their popularity and the amount of paparazzi attention they get. But they did it anyway! Along with prepping up the other two children - North and Saint - for a pregnancy that didn't show. "We had a baby shower over the weekend. I thought, 'I really do want to have a baby shower because I want her to feel that something's coming and for her to really understand it," she said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Here's congratulating Kim, Kanye and the rest of the fam!

Should you temp in the City of London?
When it comes to looking for a temporary job in London, it can be hard to know where to start. However, for those looking for a role in the financial, banking or legal industries, the first (and sometimes only) stop should be the Square Mile.

What does temporary work in the City of London involve?
There are many misconceptions about temp jobs in London City. The first thing to understand is that temping doesn't mean ad-hoc work that is one day here and one day there.

Depending on the role, there is also scope to be taken on permanently after your contract ends.
A temporary job in City of London isn't necessarily just for entry-level positions either. Many companies will look to make mid-range and senior appointments in a temp-to-perm capacity, bypassing compliance and enabling a faster start date.
What are the benefits of temping in the City?
Temporary work in London City offers plenty of benefits, no matter what stage of career you are at.
First and foremost, a temporary contract allows you to try a range of businesses before committing long-term. With the potential to try out multiple teams, working styles and industries, it is the perfect way to develop an understanding of the type of career you enjoy.
With exposure to a range of different programmes and processes, the opportunity for training when temping is endless. You'll be able to develop your current skillset and receive valuable mentoring from senior members of staff across different divisions.

The more people you meet, conversations you have and teams you work in, the better your network. Temp work is a great way to do this, as it offers access to a range of different working environments and allows you to build professional relationships that could translate to other opportunities down the line. After all, you never know where a conversation could take you!

Q: 530 Permission Denied accessing FTP I'm using a portable version of Xlight FTP Server Personal for Windows.  I have created a "Virtual server" running on port 21 with no SSL enabled. I have added Firewall rules. I have created a user with a very simple username and password.  I have also tried anonymous login.  I have set the user path to c:\ and given RWCLA--S permissions.  I have tried turning PASV mode off on the client.
When I attempt to login from another machine (I have used WinSCP and FTP command) I just get a "530 permission denied" error.
What else am I missing?
Here is the log from the server:
07/24/2020 15:43:37 (not login x.x.40.164<--x.x.42.64:21) "220 Xlight FTP Server 3.9 ready..."

07/24/2020 15:43:37 (not login x.x.40.164<--x.x.42.64:21) "530 Not login, please login first"

A: The Windows security permission on the folder is ok ?
I ask as if ftpusr is a username local the ftp service, not AD, often the ftp software will use a guest's account to access the folder path.
If it's an AD user, make sure the account have access to the folder.

David Wise Claims First-Ever Skiing Halfpipe Gold for U.S.
American David Wise scored a 92 on his first run at the Sochi Games, and the tally led him to win the first-ever gold medal awarded in the ski halfpipe on Tuesday. The 23-year-old Reno, Nev. skier topped the field by leaning on the moves which have made him a three-time Winter X-Games champion.
Mike Riddle earned the silver for Canada, and Kevin Rolland claimed bronze for France.
France's Pierre Vaultier held off Nikolay Olyunin of Russia to win the gold medal in the men's snowboardcross at Sochi on Tuesday afternoon. Alex Deibold of the U.S. beat teammate Trevor Jacob in the semifinals of the snowboard racing event for the bronze.
The medal was undoubtedly special for Deibold, who spent the 2010 Vancouver Olympics as a board technician for the American team, but he did not compete as a member of the squad.
Russia beat Norway, 4-0, in Olympic men's hockey on Tuesday to storm into the quarterfinals, where they will face Finland on Wednesday. Elsewhere, the Czech Republic topped Slovakia, 5-3, and advanced to face the U.S. in Wednesday's quarterfinal round.
Underdog Slovenia beat Austria, 4-0, and advanced to play top-seeded Sweden in the round-of-eight. Latvia reached its first Olympic quarterfinals ever by virtue of beating Switzerland, 3-1. They'll face Canada on Wednesday.
American bobsledders Lauryn Williams and Elana Meyers led the women's field after the first day of the event's competition in Sochi on Tuesday. Canada's Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse, who are chasing a second straight Olympic title, trailed by 0.23 seconds in second place and Jamie Greubel and Aja Evans of the U.S. were in third.
Former U.S. Summer Olympian Lolo Jones and teammate Jazmine Fenlator placed 11th. The hurdler had hoped the Winter Olympics would give her a better chance at a medal.
Jorrit Bergsma of The Netherlands set an Olympic record on his way to winning the gold medal in the men's 10,000 meter speedskating event. Fellow countrymen Sven Kramer and Bob de Jong grabbed the silver and the bronze respectively to push the Dutch back to the top of the overall medal count. The European nation was tied with the U.S. with 20 total medals.


In the last several weeks, there have been numerous reports of severe and even fatal amusement park accidents involving roller coaster riders. Of course, people have been trying to squeeze in their last-minute summer kicks, but they should be able to do so confident in the safety of the rides they board.
According to a recent news feature from People, this latest incident involved a 3-year-old boy who was riding on an attraction at Idlewild and SplashZone amusement park in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Authorities say the boy is still in critical condition at a local level-one pediatric trauma hospital and has undergone at least one major surgical procedure and may need additional surgery.
Witnesses say the young boy was riding on a wooden coaster named the Rollo Coaster. It is by no means a giant wooden roller coaster that adults typically ride, but it reached 40 feet at it its peak height and a vertical drop lasted for around 1,500 feet. The ride achieved a top speed of 25 miles per hour. While this may not seem very fast in terms of a car, on a vibrating wooden roller coaster with child riders, it is actually quite fast.
This ride was constructed in the late 1930s and did not have any seat belts. There is minimum rider height of three feet, and it requires any rider less than four feet to be with an adult during the ride. In this case, the child was with his seven-year-old brother, rather than an adult, at the time of the serious accident. Witnesses say the car was ten feet off the ground when the young victim fell from the ride and hit the ground. He landed on his head and was severely injured. It should be noted that there has been no formal accusation of negligence in connection with this accident.
One thing we typically see in Boston personal injury cases where an accident victim was injured at an attraction run by an entertainment company is that the company or its insurance company will try to defend itself by hiding behind waivers or even going so far as to blame victims. In the case of child victims of personal injury, these companies will sometimes blame the parents.
With respect to blaming the victims, we have situations where, for example, a child was supposed to be accompanied by an adult at all times. If an adult does not accompany the child, and an accident occurs, this is a way these companies will try to avoid liability. However, this is not necessarily going to be successful. The first question is why did a staff person allow the child to perform the activity without an adult. This person had the last clear chance to avoid the injury and did not do so. This does not only apply to amusement parks, but also local carnivals, swimming pools, rock climbing facilities, and many other similar venues. The second question is whether this accident would have happened even if there was an adult present. In the case of a boy falling out of a roller coaster, had a parent been there, the same thing might have happened anyway.


Overview "Exceptional Pale" is what the XP stands for, and it certainly stands out in the Bear Republic lineup of powerful, hoppy ales. A relative lightweight at 5.4% ABV, this might be the only Bear Republic beer that you want to drink more than one of.
Flavors and aromas A perfume of fruit blossoms, grapefruit, and honey manages to be airy, light, and intense at the same time. The palate has blossomy hop flavors, mild smooth malt, and balanced bitterness in a light-bodied package. This is a relaxed pale ale in a similar style to Widmer's Drifter, ideal for lazy spring and summer afternoons. The XP is a significant departure from Bear Republic's other offerings; it seems as effortless as the others are powerful.

Q: Passing employee id from AD to a SharePoint list I have a property named EmployeeId in AD.
UPS is configured and is getting all users EmployeeID from AD.
I have made an external list.
I want to pass logged in user's EmployeeID to that list so it only shows related records.
How to pass value?

A: In 2010 there was a "Personalization Site" that had some User query web parts that allowed your to do just this type of thing. The site template is now hidden in 2013 but the web parts should still exist.
Another option would be to roll your own or use REST service against the User Profile Service to pull the custom property from the UPA.

Q: Adding custom data to Django's admin dashboard I'm having a bit of trouble with Django again.
I have a simple e-commerce website project that I'm working on for my graduation. It sells books. I've got basic functionalities down, such as adding categories and products, client sign-ups and logins, a session-based shopping cart, a checkout page fully connected to a payment API, and an orders model to keep track of data.
My professor has asked me now to to add relevant reports in the Admin panel, talked to me a while about what would be relevant to see and all. So, I've got in mind what I'm hoping to make.
I want to have two containers in the main dashboard page, which would display some quick analytics (like, how many books the store has sold in the past seven days, how much money from sales the site has made in the past month), as well as links in the sidebar: I want each relevant app within my project to have their own reports section in the Admin panel, maybe led to from a link underneath their models. I've separated the storefront, accounts, orders, shopping cart, and checkout, for instance, in different apps
The problem is I can't really figure out how to actually... do that...
I've fiddled with the layout and templates on the admin; I've figured out how to add custom links to the admin page, and change its design elements, for instance. But I'm not sure how to link the data I want to the dashboard. It feels like the answer is right in front of me and I can't reach it...
I guess my question is, how can I add my reports to the Django admin page per app, and how can I add these containers that I want in the dashboard?
I've guessed that I have to start out by building a view for each report. So I am currently reading the Django docs on the Admin page again, as well as looking at questions similar to mine.
But any information y'all can share that could ease up this process and save me some time would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much!
PS: If it helps, I am overriding the admin templates by having all the .html pages copied on my project's templates folder - it's how I got it to display the store's header in the admin dashboard.

Collection relating to the service of 433 Trooper Edgar Roy Stanford, 1 Light Horse Regiment, AIF, Egypt and Gallipoli, 1914-1915. Collection consists of a diary, postcards, photographs and negatives. Tpr Stanford was shot in the thigh by a sniper on 1 July on Gallipoli. He was evacuated to Egypt and died on 1 August as a result of complications relating to the amputation of his leg.
Collection consists of:
1. A handwritten diary commencing on 21 June 1914 just prior to Tpr Stanford's enlistment, covers his service on Gallipoli from May to July 1915 and finishes on 23 July 1915 with his acceptance that his leg would have to be amputated.
2. Two postcards written by Stanford which show scenes from Egypt.
3. A black and white studio portrait of Stanford dressed in civilian clothing.
4. A newspaper clipping showing a studio portrait of Stanford mounted as an in-memoriam card.
5. Collection of forty three black and white photographs. Photographs include: four Gallipoli scenes; seventeen depicting Light Horsemen in various situations; twenty-two depicting various scenes in Cairo, Heliopolis, Karnak, Alexandria, Upper Nile. Collection is enclosed in a brown paper Kodak wallet probably dating from after the war. As a Kodak camera was returned to Stanford's family in his personal effects, these photographs may have been taken by him.
Also included in the collection are:
6. Five postcards showing scenes from Gallipoli.
7. Three other postcards related to the First World War.
8. Three postcards showing scenes from Stonehenge. These are written from a training camp in England in December 1916. The author is unknown.
9. Nine negatives. These are unrelated to the photos above, and don't appear to be war related.
The diary contains some very detailed entries for the period from May to July 1915 when Trooper Stanford was at Gallipoli. The entries describe conditions, operations and military technology in some detail, including the Turkish attacks and fighting at Quinn's Post. The last entry by Trooper Stanford (when he learns he will lose his leg) is especially poignant, as up until then his entries had been quite cheerful, despite being injured. It is a well written descriptive diary which provides an excellent account of the experiences of a member of the 1st Light Horse at Gallipoli, in particular the Turkish offensives in May 1915.

NBA reacts to protests by Magistrates in Cross River State over non-payment of their salaries
POSITION OF THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION ON THE RECENT PROTESTS BY MAGISTRATES IN CROSS RIVER STATE
The Nigerian Bar Association ("NBA") has noted with concern, the disgraceful and completely unacceptable situation in Cross River State that resulted in about 30 Magistrates resorting to public but peaceful protests to demand the payment of their salaries which has remained outstanding for 24 months owing to the actions of the Cross River State Government.
Following the widely publicised protests, the NBA has received several representations from legal practitioners and members of the general public urging the NBA to intervene in the unfortunate situation. For this reason, I wish to notify the general public that I have, even prior to my emergence as NBA President, been making efforts to resolve this issue since it was brought to my attention in December 2019. Since then, I have consistently interfaced with the AttorneyGeneral of the State to prevail on him to use his good offices to resolve the imbroglio. I also held a meeting with some of the 30 Magistrates affected by the unfortunate situation in Calabar in January 2020, and assured them of my support towards the resolution of the matter.
Since after my emergence as NBA President, the NBA has continued engaging with the authorities in Cross River State not just in respect of this issue but also the related issue surrounding the appointment of a substantive Chief Judge for the State and the regularization of the employment of some law officers in the State (which issue I am pleased to report is now being dealt with). The NBA assures all concerned persons that it will continue to do all that it is legally able to do to ensure that the issue of non-payment of the Magistrates is also resolved.
The excuses reportedly provided by the Cross River State Government as the basis for nonpayment (being the fact that the Governor of the State did not authorize the employment of the Magistrates) is rather unfortunate considering that the constitutional power to appoint the said Magistrates is not vested in the Governor but in the Cross River State Judicial Service Commission (which duly appointed them), and the State has, in any case, continued to utilize the services of the Magistrates for upward of two years.
The NBA therefore expects that now that the unfortunate situation has become an issue of public knowledge, reason will prevail and the Cross State Government will see its way clear to resolve this issue in the interest of the State, the legal profession in Nigeria and the Magistrates concerned. In the meantime, this situation has reinforced the need for the NBA to activate its public interest litigation machinery to institute actions to address situations like this, if only as a last resort and the NBA will do so imminently.
But beyond dealing with specific cases of this nature across the country, our commitment at the
NBA is to ensure that there is financial autonomy for the Judiciary and true independence of the
Judiciary in matters concerning it. While this appears to be a tall order, the NBA will continue to
deploy every resource available to it to ensure that this ultimate objective is achieved sooner
rather than later.
