Its just amazing, the lengths to which these women hating people will go. Now they've dredged up a law from the 19th century, in which the only grounds for an abortion are 'when it  is necessary  to save the life of the woman.'
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/08/us/ar...he%20state.
[b]"The state Supreme Court has delayed enforcement of the law for 14 days to give the plaintiffs an opportunity to pursue other challenges in a lower court if they wish to do so, including whether the law is constitutional.[/b]
Speaking in a news conference after the courtÔÇÖs decision was published, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes┬ávowed, ÔÇ£No woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law ÔǪ as long as I am attorney general. Not by me, nor by any county attorney serving in our state. Not on my watch.ÔÇØ
Her office is looking to pursue options available to ensure the law is not implemented in the state, Mayes said.
ÔÇ£TodayÔÇÖs decision to reimpose a law from a time when Arizona wasnÔÇÖt a state, the Civil War was raging, and women couldnÔÇÖt even vote will go down in history as a stain on our state,ÔÇØ she said in a release posted online."

Ok, so I bought an all-in-one without understanding the HDMI v HDMI-in thing. 
I wanted the (in) to run a laptop and my Playstation. Man was I pissed when I figured out the problem...
Anyways, enough of that. Is there a way I can make the HDMI (out) port work like an HDMI-in?
I've tried Googling etc but either no-one has ever asked this question, or I'm asking it wrong (probably this one).
If not I'm buying a new AIO - I'm over this.
Thanks.

| Nats truancy policy 'as useful as tits ona bull' |

According to principal Pat Newman - who doesn't mince his words... 
Would it really be so very difficult for our politicians to put aside their political differences & work together for the sake of our kids & their future? So very impossible to actually consult teachers & find out what IS really needed? What would really work properly, both now & in the future?
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/...ction.html
"A Whangārei principal is slamming David Seymour's newly announced attendance action plan saying it is " about as useful as tits on a bull".   
On Tuesday, the Government revealed details of how it plans to meet its target of 80 percent of students being present for more than 90 percent of the school term.     
Seymour is the lead minister in charge of the target and said the "truancy crisis" must be fixed.    
On Tuesday Seymour announced several new measures to improve attendance including mandatory daily reporting of attendance data, a traffic light system, making attendance a strategic priority for school boards and using improved data and analysis to distinguish the drivers of non-attendance to target interventions.    
But the plan isn't being welcomed by Hora Hora School principal Pat Newman, who has more than 50 years of experience in education.   
Newman said the action plan is not going to achieve anything.   
"I don't know if you could call it a plan... This thing is about as useful as tits on a bull," Newman told Newshub Late on Tuesday.   
"It's not going to do anything, and it shows this guy who thinks he knows everything knows bugger all nothing."  
Newman said publishing attendance results is all well and good, but he questions who is actually going to read them.   
"The [parents] we are trying to target don't actually go look at school newspapers or websites or anywhere else."  
The principal also lambasted the health advice changes questioning whether it would mean sick children would start showing up to school.   
"Does that mean we are going to have classrooms full of kids with gooby noses? We know if children have a cold they infect other children and we know they infect teachers. I mean it's crazy."  Newman accused Seymour of blaming educators for the issue when really successive governments, including the current one, are at fault.   
"He's blaming the boards and principals and schools for the problem we have, yet he's the one that says, 'Listen we are going to cut lunches'. How the hell is that going to get people into school? He says, 'We are going to cut back the public transport subsidies'. How the hell is that going to get people into schools?   
"He talks about minimising disruptions to kids, do you know the biggest disruption to kids over my 51 years of being a principal has been that every two to three years we have a new political master who thinks they know it all and comes in and changes everything we've been trying to bed down.  
"Then they wonder why the kids aren't there, they wonder why no one wants to go into teaching, they wonder why our kids are failing. It's not the schools, it's not the teachers, it's the bloody politicians who will not sit down and work out a plan with the sector so that we have a direction for 10 or 20 years and instead we get a change every two to three years.   
"What planet is the guy on? Newman questioned. "That's not in the future ÔÇô that's what we are dealing with now. That's what we need the help for not tinkering around with systems and ideas that he thinks he can impose and it will all work and we will jump up and down saying, 'Oh yes all-knowing Minister'.┬á

I'm sure I remember this one being mentioned a few times in various places, nice to see some accountability, but would have been better if she herself were culpable...
Quote:The Broadcasting Standard Authority (BSA) said Hawkesby's statements were misleading, implying M─üori and Pacific people were being "moved to the top of surgery waitlists" and gave the impression ethnicity was the key factor in getting a spot on the waitlist.
It found her comments breached its discrimination and denigration standard by reinforcing negative stereotypes.
"Hawkesby's comments played into the stereotype that M─üori and Pacific peoples disproportionately take up resources and are given undeserved special treatment in Aotearoa New Zealand's society, at the expense of other ethnicities. While not said explicitly, in our view, the exaggerated and misleading nature of Hawkesby's comments had the effect of evoking this type of prejudicial bias.
"The conduct was serious, featuring repeated and sustained inaccurate descriptions of the Equity Adjustor Score over the course of a one hour broadcast, which in turn had the effect of embedding negative stereotypes about M─üori and Pacific peoples. This was despite accurate information being to hand."
