Why not, why shouldn't I post it.

Digital sovereignty push for Māori. Nice.

It arrived two days ago.

I have noticed that my P8P has major stuttering issues over the list few days.

There have been a few updates, I'm not sure what the cause is, I'm trying to see of others are having the same issue.

Maybe Luxon could get some ideas here

Whangarei Native Bird Recovery Centre

We had a Morepork come in today who was covered in the seeds and sap of the dreaded Parapara tree or 'bird catching tree' as it's also called, and for a good reason!

In spring and summer, the parapara develops a glue- like coating on its seeds, designed to aid in seed dispersal, but remains sticky for months, trapping birds.

Why do birds get caught?

Birds are attracted to the seeds, possibly because of bugs stuck in the seed pods, and become entangled when they try to feed or fly.

Where it grows?

It's typically found on islands and coastal areas of the North Island, and is present in Auckland.

We use a citrus based solvent here at the centre which is safe on the birds and won't cause any irritation like some other common things used at home would. Please - If you find a bird that has been caught in a Parapara tree, bring it up to us rather than trying to remove them yourself

NZF are not usually the bastion of forward looking science and tech funding. So good to see something positive from them.

political interference in the new curriculum!

Good work Newsroom.

Political division is taking hold in NZ and we need to turn it around.

Election year!

Quite relevant for this year.

Confucius believed a harmonious society was one where everyone understood and embraced their role, and were educated in proper virtue. In Confucian philosophy, most societal structures mirror the relationship of a family, so just as a children are taught to respect their parents, so are servants taught to respect their superiors in social rank. This respect was to be earned, however, by equal virtue of the parents and masters in taking care of those below them with benevolence, and other virtues (the five major virtues being: Benevolence (Ren), Righteousness (Yi), Propriety (Li), Wisdom (Zhi), and Trustworthiness (Xin)).

Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, who united the warring tribes that Confucius had lived under, ended up supposedly killing an enormous number of Confucian scholars, and banned Confucius thought in favor of Legalism. Legalism is basically the same thing, where everyone in society is to embrace their role in society, except without all the blabbering on and on about how it is virtuous and good. They are to embrace their role because that is the law, and if they don't the emperor is going to cut their head off. More or less.

So who is in charge?
