Trump administration to ease rules for hunting bears and their cubs in Alaska

The National Park Service is rolling back Obama-era regulations that banned hunters in Alaska's national preserves from using food to lure black and brown bears out of their dens.

St. Paul police once used Disney's Zootopia as part of annual anti-bias training

Disney's story of a rabbit and a fox recognizing and overcoming police bias was apparently used to educate human police officers. More specifically, St. Paul, Minnesota's police force — which has been pulled into the protests in neighboring Minneapolis — watched Zootopia a few years ago as part of its annual anti-bias training. The animated movie specifically covers discrimination against a young police officer and suspects based on their species, but many officers "never saw the parallels with real life" until they watched it in training, Sgt. Amanda Heu told local station Fox 9 back in 2017. Zootopia tells the story of the first rabbit to join the animal-run city of Zootopia's police department. She's placed on parking duty and doubted because of her species, but also discriminates against a fox con artist because of his, with nods to human race relations — the fox plays with a sheep's "hair," for instance — along the way. "When you see the story, it has bias and prejudice woven throughout," Hua said at the…

RBZ cuts Zipit transaction limits

THE Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has directed all banks to review downwards Zipit transaction limits to ZWL$20 000 a day from ZWL$100 000 following abuse of the facility by illicit foreign currency dealers. In a statement yesterday the Apex bank unit said it has directed Zimswitch, which operates the Zipit platform to immediately implement the new position. “The FIU has noted that the existing Zipit transaction limits, which have no monthly cap are being misused, primarily for illicit foreign currency transactions. “The current Zipit limits of ZWL$100 000 per day allow a customer (subject to any bank-specific limits) to move about ZWL$3 million per month, using a single account and much more if he or she is multi-banked and/or uses third party accounts,” said the FIU. It said the above limits have been reached on account that “very few” individuals in the country earn over ZWL$100 000 a day.
