Any SIT Students With A Keen Interest In Civic Affairs? ? 'Credo Quia ...

Posted: November 12, 2012 in Uncategorized

Here?s your chance:

Here?s your opportunity to have morning tea and a chat with the Honourable Mayor Tim Shadbolt in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
When: This Wednesday, 14th November at 10.00am
Where: SIT Cafe, main campus
What: Free tea/coffee and biscuits provided
These visits will continue from February next year, on the the 2nd Wednesday of each month, and we will alternate locations between main campus and SIT Downtown campus.

Not sure what to ask him? ? Here?s some starters:

1. When are you going to do that rates review that was due before June this year?
2. How come you have had so many personal assistants in such a short period of time?
3. How many people are allowed to drive your car?
4. What is the point of a sister city relationship with Suqian when SIT already has relationships throughout China?? What does the city have to offer?
5. Will you freely release your credit card statements for the last 12 months?
6. What measurable criteria were used to spend oodles of money on a film premiere?
7. How much has the city council spent on food and alcohol in the last 12 months?
8. Norman Elder?

Just a few starters.? Just because I hate people who waste my money being given a free ride in a ?relaxed and friendly? atmosphere.

PS Funny how he does this for people who are unlikely to vote.? Maybe it?s just getting an audience that might not badger him about the big issues, like running the city.

PPS Um, he?s not the Honourable mayor, BTW ? he?s not a judge of the High Court or above, nor was he a Cabinet Minister, Governor General or Speaker 0f the House before 2010.? He?s just plain old Mayor.

Apple Forced to Pay Samsung's Legal Fees in the UK Over Apology ...

Unlike in the US, Apple was handed a resounding defeat during its legal truffle with Samsung in the UK. Unfortunately for Apple however, the judge did a bit more than throw the case out. Judge Robin Jacob ordered the company to publically apologize to Samsung on the front page of its website, and gave them a tight timeline to comply. How did Apple respond? First they posted a halfhearted apology, then when the judge ordered them to try again, they used a bit of web trickery to hide the proper apology, regardless of browser type or resolution. The judge as you could imagine, was not impressed.

The Court of Appeal has now ordered Apple to pay all of Samsung?s legal fees on an ?indemnity basis?, and is no doubt hoping it will properly humiliate the company over all the hassle. Apple was already most likely on the hook given the defeat, but the indemnity ruling will make this an even more expensive experiment for Apple.?

Apple?s attempt to cover up the verdict didn?t just shine a broader international spotlight on the issue, it also kept the verdict in the news cycle weeks longer then it would have otherwise. We appreciate the irony of watching a company that is renowned for its ability to control the media, fail so miserably.?

Reflections of the Sword -Fantasy RP- Recruiting!

Alright, I'm recruiting for this roleplay called "Reflections of the Sword" I've been stirring in my head all day!

Here is the link:
roleplay/reflections-of-the-sword/

Here are the characters we have so far:
Anna: played by spirit_is_shining

This list will grow as people join the roleplay.

Here is the story:

This story is basically about good vs bad, nature vs man sort of...a fantasy story in a fantasy world.

A chemical released by a plant or in the air is altering the mind of humans and animals/creatures. It is causing them to be violent, turning them into monsters. Through out this man kind has managed to survive, with trained forces and bounty hunters. Man and other races have learned to harness energy in its many forms. This has caused them to let's say, light up a saber with electricity or make bows of arrows of light.

When I say other races, I am referring to any humanoid creature. Meaning elves, dwarves, a reptile-man race, etc.

Now this takes place in 2600 AS, after shadow. We're on an earth like world called Terra with earth like creatures, the only difference is some of these creatures have gone haywire. They've become no longer animal or human any longer. Something inside these few creatures such has genes etc. are susceptible to this chemical that is turning them into monsters. Sad but true in the story.

Some spots in the world are places where these monsters gather together. If wanted, I could make a map, but I don't think a map would cover all of this world. So...

This world is open as in you can make up a town or village you've come from, or city. The world is not very urban, but it's more spaced out. For instance my character comes from Newberg, a town that sits in the valley of twin mountains.

One thing is for certain: We are all to meet up coincidentally at a sanctuary ruin. I'll add more to this if you're interested, answer questions in the OOC or here, etc.

Video: ?Modern Family? star?s real mom accused of abuse

>> we'll begin this half hour with new details on the family drama facing one of the stars of the show "modern family." jason, good morning.

>> reporter: good morning to you, willie. 14-year-old ariel winter is part of a quirky yet loving family on her tv show but in reality the teenager has been removed from her home after allegations she was being physically and emotionally abused by her own mother .

>> i'm not giving you my design.

>> reporter: ariel winter plays alex dunphy the nerdy know it all child on the abc sitcom "modern family."

>> i made this for haley four years ago. you think this got framed? she tossed it in the garbage.

>> reporter: now her real family has been swept up in a nasty dispute. a judge removed winter from her mother after the child star and her adult sister accused their mother of abuse. in court papers filed last month they said winter has been the victim of ongoing physical abuse -- slapping, hitting, pushing, and emotional abuse -- vile name calling, personal insults about minor and minor's weight for an extended period of time. a judge granted temporary golan cipel to winter 's older sister and ordered the mother not to have any contact with her teenage daughter until a hearing scheduled for later this month. the judge is not saying that the mother abused her. the judge has made a determination that it's in the best interests of ariel to remove her from the house temporarily and giving custody to the sister until all the facts and all the evidence could come out in the case.

>> reporter: winter 's mother denies the allegations. in a statement to nbc news she says, i would never abuse her in any way and i have always tried my best to always protect her and do what is right for her. she also says her daughter's claims of abuse are a response to the mother 's disapproval of the 14-year-old's relationship with her 18-year-old boyfriend. when i caught them engaging in behavior that i feel my daughter is too young mentally and physically to understand and fully grasp i put a stop to it immediately. being a teenager in love i thought she would cry and sulk and eventually her broken heart would heal. i would never have dreamed she would take it to this level. this is not the first allegation of abuse against winter 's mother . the elder daughter also an actress made similar claims two decades ago and as a result was placed in the care of her grandmother. in workman's statement she says her older daughter has come out of the woodwork once it was announced that the kids on the show got a big raise recently. i will only say this. she has only seen her little sister maybe ten times in the last 14 years. they have no relationship and her motives are not out of love but out of spite. as for winter , she is reportedly back on the set of "modern family." sharing laughs with her fictional family awaiting the next round in this legal drama .

>> as a child star it's already difficult enough just dealing with the pressures of working in hollywood but add on a scandal like this and it's really a difficult situation.

>> reporter: we reached out to both abc and ariel 's reps. both had no comment. we should also mention according to the court documents the judge denied the request by winter 's sister for control of the child star 's earnings from the television show said to be approximately $500,000. willie?

>> jason kennedy , thank you. lisa bloom is legal analyst for avo.com and the author of parenting book "swagger." good morning.

>> good morning.

>> a lot to sort through here. on the one hand yes there are legal questions but a lot of family issues as well.

>> well, that's absolutely right. we have a young girl who is making a lot of money at the age of 14 now embedded in this family drama . should she live with her older adult sister or should she live with her mother ? temporarily the judge has said with the adult sister but generally courts want to keep families together so that is not necessarily going to be a permanent order.

>> i wonder what you think about ariel 's mother putting out a statement. she did that to us at nbc late last night talking about those charges against the 18-year-old boyfriend. the mother going public on her daughter. what do you think?

>> well, consider what is going on here. the daughter says part of the emotional abuse is my mother insults me. then the mother issues a statement essentially insulting her daughter and the other sister or you could say disclosing private facts about her daughter. i mean, is that in her daughter's best interests ? this is a young girl who is an actress, a hollywood starlet trying to make a name for herself and the mother issues this long statement saying essentially that her daughter is in an inappropriate adult relationship and also casting aspersions on the sister . i don't think that was the healthiest way to proceed.

>> she does have a right does she not to go to the police if she believes there is statutory rape happening under her own roof.

>> that is the implication, right, a 14-year-old girl in an adult relationship with an 18-year-old. of course she does. any mother has that right but she should always be acting in the best interests of the child and i don't think the judge is going to take kindly to that statement.

>> the big question here as well as money. you heard jason talking about it, assets in the range of $500,000. how safe are ariel 's assets here?

>> they're pretty safe. in california we have a law designed to protect the earnings of child stars . we don't want parents of kids who are making money in the entertainment business or any business to spend all that money so the kid turns 18 and nothing is left. the court is going to protect her money regardless of who is watching out for it.

>> such a complicated case. thanks so much for clearing it up for us.
