    I've taught here for 3 years in a private school.  I wouldn't teach in a public school.  The wages suck and there are other countries where the requirements are less of a hassle and the money is significantly better.  Teaching in a private school was more like a hobby where I could make 40K a month.  Thai public schools.  <head shake>

    The salary difference between private and public is not as clear cut you make out.

     

    I've known public school salaries easily above the 40k salary you quote.

    Such nonsense. Whatever I called it doesn't matter. And it has nothing to do with the fact that legal clearly stated that grounds for calling the detention illegal was that the child or fetus was not being given proper care. Your claim was that they were objecting to detention per se. That is clearly not the case. It was about care.

    Yep. Just about care.

     

    That's why the case was filed on behalf of the unborn child using the Florida law on life at conception.

     

    If it were solely about care, why was the filing not in the name of the incarcerated woman? It is her that receives the care, or not, after all.

     

    It's all obvious really.

    Since you can't answer the question and seem to agree about the source it's clear your statement was incorrect.

     

    Glad we agree these changes are nonsense but a hyperbole like yours doesn't enhance your argument.

    Not incorrect at all. I was pointing you in the direction if a substantiated answer, as that seems to be what people need on here.

    At 1.6+ million baht owing to them the hospital has every right to asks for their money, the problem is with the UK travel insurance that drags their feet in covering the expenses and not adding to the already mounting miseries and pains of everybody.

    More likely the insurance doesn't cover unlicensed motorcycle riders. 

     

    There have been a few of these stories recently. When will people learn?

    What is the woke community?

     

    Looks like these changes are done by the people in charge of it, being the publishing house and the estate. Personally I think it's nonsense, but most likely it's being done to help sales, now or in the future.

    Get yourself a dictionary. Look up "woke" and then look up "community". That should give you the answer.

     

    I too think the changes are nonsense, I hope it back fires on them. Next thing we know Oliver Twist will be "financially challenged". Fagin was ugly. 555

    What don't you understand about the fact the the grounds for the claim that the fetus is being unlawfully detained is that the fetus is not being given proper care. 

    "The filing was made on behalf of the unborn child and calls for Harrell to be discharged from jail until the child is born so she can receive proper care."

     

    Whilst using the law that the foetus is a person in it's own right. The claim was filed on behalf of, in the eyes of law in Florida, the child.

     

    You clearly disagree with this filing as you refer to "foetus" and not "child" or "baby". Thus, basically and fundamentally, agreeing with my post.

    From the OP I think her point is that she doesn't get proper pre natal care. I wonder if there are any other prisoners in the same situation, and the case could easily be resolved by providing "proper" pre natal care.

    If it can be proven that the pre natal care is insufficient then she has a case, IMO.

    No. She's trying to get released on the grounds her "baby" is being held for no reason. From the OP, that'd made quite obvious.

    Suffice to say, it’s not Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Microsoft et al amongst the high profit tech companies.

    Quite correct. Why?

     

    Becase the app is a blocker at connection level. It covers the device, not platforms. Nothing to do with using products from the companies you quoted.

     

    Once fully developed I can see the big phone manufacturers buying the technology and selling their devices with it pre loaded. 

     

    Good luck to SafetoNet. A company with little over £1m paid up capital. I hope they make millions out of this..

    Good news, but why is this left to individuals to deal with.

     

    Social Media Platforms routinely scan images link them to accounts, files shared over the internet are traceable during sharing, source and destination are knowable.

     

    Why aren’t the social media and tech giants raking in vast profits using their technology to identify, block and report child sexual images?

     

    If volunteers can set up an app to block these images, how very much more could tech giants achieve?!

     

     

    The volunteers are not setting up the app.

     

    The volunteers will download the app and test it in real time.

     

    It's called System Testing. In integral part in software development.

    I don’t have to explain anything as I am not responsible for any changes being made. The changes made are those decided upon by the roald Dahl company not me. 
     

    They are the ones who profit from dahl’s writing and I am sure any such changes are motivated by commercial reasons rather than any imaginary culture war bogeyman.  They no doubt see a need to compete against more current childrens authors/genres. 

    Thanks for confirming you agree with me. Your lack of desire to explain speaks volumes. Thanks again.
