BREAKING NEWS New Orleans: Multiple people dead on Bourbon Street as 'car ploughs through crowd'
Give them some time. They are probably looking for pictures of him in the boy scouts or his first day at school. Maybe a photo with a church in the distant background? I'm sure they'll find something eventually. -

Trump on Immigration: "We need a lot of people coming in."
Oh, nonononono! No backsies! That's the quote you selected to support your claim. Obviously you thought that was the little death that brings total obliteration. So that's the one we'll deal with. -

Maybe some or all of those quotes are on another thread. If that's the case I will produce an abundance of them tomorrow. -

Looming Crisis: Private Schools Face Closures Amid VAT Hike
It needs to get to Court first. A judicial review claim has been filed with the High Court. Solicitors are advising clients not to hang around presupposing a decision. And even if the Court decides the government acted unlawfully, it doesn't have to set aside the decision being challenged or make any other order. All that might happen is a moral victory. I see some analogy with private healthcare. Before COVID, the private sector in the UK was relatively under utilised, for mainly electives. When COVID hit, there was really a firming up of the relationship between the NHS and Private Sector, with the government effectively buying up all the beds, or spare capacity, in the excpectation it would be a mass casualty event. More recently NHS referrals to the private sector are in the context of dealing with pent up demand, longer waiting times. Essentially, a patient can be referred to the private sector for their Op, and the NHS is billed at the same price the procedure might cost the NHS. Its possible the patient might recuperate in a NHS facility, or, with D2A, discharged to a private nursing home who bills the NHS. The surgeons doing the work frequently also work in the NHS. Labour tells us Education is facing some sort of crisis. Teacheris are leaving, not enough teachers, hungry kids, buildings falling apart. 8 million kids taught by half a million teachers. They can't fill all the teaching vacancies as it is. Teachers do move between sectors; state to private and private to state. On balance, the movement to private is in the positive, ie better working conditions etc In the private sector its about half a million kids taught be 80,000 teachers. The ratios are crude, because its more complex than that. But, even now, private schools provide thousands of hours of free specialist teaching and access to facilities to their state counterparts The government could increase the education budget by £5 billion (a 5% increase), and really, it will have an insignificant impact on the sector. Money spent now wont be felt for 5-10 years. The government could view private schools as surge capacity. Sending pupils to them en masse doesn't really work, because often these schools are in the wrong places compared to state schools (the issue causing the transfer problems now). There could be ways for the government to make more parents see independant schools as a viable alternative (subsidy, vouchers). That wuld requre the fees to drop significantly, which can be mitigated to the schools through rolls, protecting revenues. Also, there could be greater secondment of teachers between the sectors, even part time. One reason for the increase in fees, particularly between 2003 and 2014, has been employer pension contributions. Private school teachers are in the same pension scheme as state. Since 2003, that employer contribution has racked up considerably (now 25% of salary?). Based on average 1990 day fees in 1990, if they had tracked with inflation, the average cost would now be about £7500, which does show that in 1990, private education was making better use of resources than the state. Besides secondments, the government could come to an agreement over pension contributions.Even a time limited arrangement might give the state sector some breathing space, espeically with the thorny question of school construction. How do you rebuild a school without kids spending years being taught in rotted portacabins. -

Bank of Thailand Boosts Mobile Security with New Transfer Limits
Sounds like tightening the rules they tried to introduce a while ago. Facial recognition for transfer over 50k. I have accounts at Bangkok Bank, Kbank and SCB. Kasikorn has changed nothing. SCB was unable to set up facial recognition for foreigners. Got a waiver. BKB set up facial recognition and it's a mess. Unreliable to the max. I have given up using them for larger transfers. Paid my car with a single transfer about 700k from SCB last May. Please do not force that for the other banks. What is elderly? I am 67.
