This seems a straightforward case where an abortion should be given as soon as possible; this woman is likely to lose the ability to have children if an abortion is denied. 

That she's likely to now be denied that & have to suffer throughout a tragic pregnancy which could end her abiity to have children, shows very clearly that this isn't about 'the sanctitiy of life' but is instead about controlling women.

[b]"AUSTIN, Texas -- Kate Cox, a mother of two in Texas, became pregnant again in August but soon after learned devasting news: Her baby has a fatal condition and is likely to either be stillborn or die shortly after birth.[/b]
The tragic circumstances have thrust Cox, 31, into the center of an unprecedented challenge over abortion bans that have altered the landscape for women in the U.S. A Texas judge gave Cox permission this week to receive an abortion, but the state's highest court put that decision on hold Friday night.
Whether Cox, who is 20 weeks pregnant, can legally receive an abortion under narrow exceptions to the state's ban is now in limbo while the Texas Supreme Court considers her case. The court, which is made up of nine Republican justices, gave no timetable on when it might rule.
[b]In October, doctors told Cox that her fetus was at a high risk for a condition known as trisomy 18, which has a very high likelihood of miscarriage or stillbirth, and low survival rates, according to the lawsuit. Her attorneys say Cox has been to the emergency room at least four times, including this week, and that her health is put increasingly at risk the longer her pregnancy lasts.[/b]
Doctors have told Cox that inducing labor or carrying the baby to term could jeopardize her ability to have another child in the future.
ÔÇ£I really would love another baby," Cox told NBC News this week after a lower court judge granted her permission for an abortion, ÔÇ£So, IÔÇÖm hopeful for my health, our family.ÔÇØ

"Following Thursday's ruling, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office issued a statement saying the temporary restraining order "will not insulate hospitals, doctors, or anyone else, from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas' abortion laws." 
Paxton's office also included a letter sent to several medical centers outlining action it will take against doctors who perform an abortion."

ÔÇ£Another day and another leak.
And this time it calls into question the GovernmentÔÇÖs commitment to informed decision making.
From Thomas Coughlan at the Herald:

Quote:The new Government has been rocked by the leaking of another confidential paper to the┬áHerald┬áÔÇô the second to spill in just five days.

Quote:This paper, from Treasury, said the Government has quietly suspended Regulatory Impact Analyses (RIA) for some proposals in its 100-day plan, meaning they will not go through the proper process before becoming law.

Quote:The former Government also briefly suspended RIA during the pandemic.

Quote:The decision to suspend RIS means some of the the promises to repeal the former GovernmentÔÇÖs agenda will face almost no scrutiny, given the new Government intends to repeal some things, like FPAs, under urgency.

Quote:RIS requirements are staying for ÔÇ£new proposalsÔÇØ in the 100-day plan, however they are having their formal quality assurance requirement scrapped.

I have been told that a text document that I scanned for someone without a scanner, and emailed to them arrived with a grey background.    Th original did NOT have a grey background.  I scanned it on my Brother DCP J1050DW Printer, using Nuance Paperport 14 software.  Sent using Outlook (Office 365).

I sent it to myself and it looked OK.  I don't know if it is my problem or their's.   Can anyone help?

[b]"UN secretary general Ant├│nio Guterres spoke this afternoon about the "serious risk to the maintenance of international peace and security", citing the spillover of hostilities in "the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen".[/b]
He triggered Article 99, prompting Friday's UN Security Council vote, because he believes this is a very urgent matter which must be brought to the attention of the council.
The Israeli government detests the UN and they detest the secretary general.


There was, Mr Guterres said, a high risk of the "total collapse of the humanitarian support system in Gaza". And the Palestinians say that is exactly what Israel wants because it wants to get all Palestinians out of Gaza.

Journalists are not permitted by Israel to enter Gaza so I can't report from there myself, but what the secretary general is saying sounds pretty accurate from the pictures and video we can see and the people we speak to.
By all the measures you can think of, the situation there for civilians is absolutely catastrophic, as they are subjected to a remorseless military campaign. Israel says they are doing what they can to save civilian lives but insists Hamas holds responsibility for using them as human shields.

At the UN, the Americans duly vetoed this resolution calling for a ceasefire. For those concerned about the significant loss of life, that does sound a bit hollow - the Americans claim the Israelis are saying they will stick to the rules of war and avoid unnecessary civilian deaths. But, they say, there is a gap between what Israel says and what it does.
I think the strategy behind the secretary general's decision to bring a vote - which he knew would probably get vetoed - was to hurry up the inevitable moment when the Americans will say to Israel: "Enough is enough, you've had enough time and killed enough people and it's time for a ceasefire."

[b]"The armed wing of Hamas has released a video which it says shows the bloody aftermath of a failed Israeli operation to free an Israeli hostage.[/b]
In the footage, a man says he has been held for 40 days, suggesting the video may have been recorded in mid-November.
A lot of blood is seen on a tiled floor, as well as military equipment, which Hamas claims to have captured.
The video ends with gruesome images of a bloodied body that appears to be that of the same hostage seen earlier.
We are withholding the man's name - he says this and his age in the video.
A script in Arabic says that Israeli soldiers "failed to reach" the hostage, leading to his death, and that the Israeli team "quickly fled the place".

It claims that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) used an ambulance to reach the place where the hostage was being held."

[b]"A 22-year-old Palestinian has told the BBC how he was detained with dozens of others by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in northern Gaza on Thursday.[/b]
Footage verified by the BBC shows a group of men stripped to their underwear, kneeling on the ground and being guarded by Israeli soldiers.
The man says he was forced to sit in the street for hours, handcuffed and blindfolded, before being driven away.
An Israeli official said the soldiers were searching for Hamas members.
Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told the BBC they were looking for those "responsible for the massacre of October 7".
The detainees were taken by truck from Beit Lahia in northern Gaza to an unknown place, according to the young man - who asked to remain anonymous for his safety.


One image - which has not yet been verified by the BBC - shows men blindfolded, kneeling in what appears to be a large pit of bulldozed sand.
The 22-year-old says the place that he, his father, brother and five cousins were taken to was sandy - and they were left there almost naked but given a blanket at night.
After questioning, he says he was taken to another location before being told to go home, arriving at around 01:40 in the morning.
"They released all of us, except my father and eldest cousin. My father works for UNRWA. I don't know why they took him," he said.

UNRWA is the UN agency that supports Palestinian refugees.

One of the detained men, Diaa al-Kahlout - who has not been released yet, according to a colleague - is a correspondent for The New Arab, or Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, a London-based pan-Arab outlet.
Some of those later released told al-Kahlout's family that the journalist had been transferred to Zikim military base in Israel, according to Lamis Andoni of The New Arab."

My old Sky box has RCA terminals that I connect  a Digitech Transmitter and Receiver device that transmits an audio visual signal to a TV in another room.
Worked well for years.
Now, I am offered the New Sky box, but it has HDMI terminals and no RCA.
Should I stick with the old Sky box, or is there a method to connect the old with the new?
TIA, Peter.
