  1. Israeli officials said the IDF had targeted the leader of Hamas’s military wing, Mohammed Deif, as Gaza’s Health Ministry said at least 71 people had been killed. Israel targeted Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif in a strike in southern Gaza on Saturday, Israeli officials said, an operation that killed at least 71 people, according to local health officials. An Israeli military official, speaking on background in line with protocol, said the Israel Defense Forces had “precise intelligence” that Deif, the head of the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, was in a “compound” in the Mawasi area west of Khan Younis. It was unclear whether Deif was killed in the strike, which aid agencies and Gaza’s civil defense force said took place in an area Israel had designated as a “humanitarian zone” for civilians. “If Hamas senior leaders think they’ll build a compound and hide in a compound in an area where we called for them [civilians] to move to, we will hunt them down,” the military official said in a briefing with reporters. The strike also targeted Rafa Salama, a Hamas commander in Khan Younis, the military said. The Gaza Health Ministry said Saturday that at least 71 people were killed and hundreds more injured in the bombardment, with hospitals, clinics and emergency personnel struggling to treat the wounded. Hundreds of thousands of displaced people are staying in Mawasi — many of them in tents — after Israel issued evacuation orders for parts of Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, in May, and told civilians to seek shelter there. “Paramedics are still trying to rescue people from under the sand,” Raed al-Nems, spokesman for the Palestine Red Crescent Society, said. The first of several reported strikes began around 10:30 a.m. local time, witnesses said. “We saw people’s legs, hands and other body parts flying in the air because of the force of the explosion,” Attar said by phone, adding that the targeted area was “a lively street with thousands of displaced people.” Israeli officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the strike, described Deif and Salama as “two of the masterminds” of the Oct. 7 attack. They did not provide details on the roles the commanders played. As reported by mainstream media.
  2. Yes your right in one sense, but yes they could process an online 90 day report without the actual passport, just the info. Whereas a pp renewal would have to be given to them no choice.
  3. Well they can't process the renewal for you without it can they.
  4. Tell them to take a photocopy of the details and THEY can do it online for you and they don't need the physical passport. You will also get the email confirmation its done. Unless the agency is handling a passport renewal, don't ever leave it anywhere.

  6. Bought a few zappers over the years, by far the best was actually the cheapest at 56bt ! Plugs into a USB slot, whether that be a phone charger or whatever, sits on the bedside table and there's usually "bodies" in the morning......😉 https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYbh38pH/

  9. Did you know that working night shifts could be affecting more than just your sleep? New research has found a link between shift work and premature ejaculation (PE) in men. This connection stems from disruptions in your body’s natural rhythms, affecting hormone levels and neurotransmitter activity. What is shift work sleep disorder? Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) is a condition affecting individuals who work irregular hours, especially those alternating between day and night shifts. People with SWSD often suffer from insomnia, excessive sleepiness, or both, leading to a host of physical and mental health issues. Men with SWSD may experience lower testosterone levels, an increased risk of hypogonadism, and problems with reproductive health, including PE. The study: Exploring the connection A recent study published in BMC Public Health investigated the relationship between SWSD, shift work, and PE. Researchers hypothesised that sleep disturbances and shift work indirectly influence PE through the secretion of central neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, are crucial for regulating sleep and sexual function. The study confirmed that men working night shifts, especially those with SWSD, were more likely to report issues with PE. Shift work of less than one year did not significantly impact PE, but longer durations, particularly over three years, showed a marked increase in PE risk. Younger men were more likely to work shifts and suffer from SWSD, raising concerns about their reproductive health. Several risk factors for PE were identified, including: Less than six hours of sleep each day Anxiety and depression Frequent alcohol use Diabetes and hyperlipidemia Erectile dysfunction Being overweight or older than 45 years Metabolic changes caused by shift work can lead to psychological and mental disorders, influencing neurotransmitter secretion. These changes also affect insulin and glucagon secretion, disrupting metabolic balance and increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, which are also risk factors for PE. Additionally, SWSD and shift work can lead to hypogonadism and impaired erectile function, further contributing to PE. What can be done? The study suggests that addressing sleep quality and managing shift work schedules could help reduce the risk of PE. Ensuring adequate sleep, maintaining regular eating habits, and fostering a positive mental outlook are crucial. Shift workers experiencing symptoms of SWSD should adjust their sleep and work schedules and seek medical advice when necessary. This study highlights the significant impact of shift work and SWSD on male sexual health, particularly PE. With the increasing prevalence of shift work in various industries, it is essential to recognise and address these health risks. Future research should continue to explore the mechanisms behind these findings to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies. Should you be having Premature ejaculation issues and need to consult a medical specialist, do not hesitate to contact MyMediTravel, the leading global medical concierge to find consultation and solutions for your issue.

  10. The whole society is based on "appearance of wealth," brand tags, etc, money, cars - red tags Money rules here in almost every facet of life. The "hi-so" appearance etc. Image (face) is everything. Commit a crime, goes straight to "whats it worth" - compensation and so on. Pay the victim and the crime goes away. Superficial, shallow nonsense.
  11. Also try Line .
  12. Only similar thing going by description, is a jigsaw puzzle piece that you slide to complete the picture. Better go to specsave? 😀
  13. I worked in the Maldives many moons ago.Now that's a small island, you could walk around it in 15 minutes! Was there for 6 months! As beautiful as it was, never again. No Internet then, no TV. You could tell what day it was by the food you were eating.Only way off was by boat or sea plane.Bonus, saved nearly all my salary for 6 months.
  14. People in UK seem to manage OK. Depends on the size of the island I suppose.🤔
  15. They probably thought " this guys got enough problems! have a nice day"😀
  16. Image via Tamarind at Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort Epic ocean views and a relaxed yet elegant ambience – there’s probably no dreamier place to enjoy Thai food than Tamarind at Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort. Helmed by Chef Nok, a native of Phuket with over a decade of culinary experience, you can expect a delightful fusion of Southern Thai tradition and global innovation at this restaurant. With its blend of spicy aromatics, rich flavours, and creative flair, all wrapped up in a picture-perfect space just off Makham Bay, it’s hard not to fall in love with Tamarind. Tamarind offers dishes that are both familiar and refreshingly new Chef Nok. Image via Tamarind at Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort Tamarind is adding a whole new layer to Phuket’s culinary offerings as a fusion Thai restaurant. Combining traditional Southern Thai flavours with innovative techniques and international influences, Chef Nok and her team craft dishes that are both familiar and refreshingly new. The ingredients are as fresh as can be, sourced from Phuket’s farmers and fishermen. All of this is then topped off with an artistic presentation, which turns each dish into a visual masterpiece. Menu highlights Pla Muek Pad Nam Dum Kratiem Phuket. Image via Tamarind at Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort To get a real taste of the Tamarind experience, try the Tom Kha Gang or Hed (Thai Coconut Soup with Rock Lobster or Mushroom), which just happens to be the highlight of the menu. As the name suggests, you can choose either Rock Lobster or Mushroom. But rest assured, each one will be perfectly cooked and rich in flavour, thanks to the perfect balance of creamy coconut milk, fragrant herbs, and a touch of spice. Looking for a taste of the Andaman Sea? You can’t go wrong with the Pla Muek Pad Nam Dum Kratiem Phuket (Stir-Fried Squid with Black Ink Sauce Phuket Style). Fresh baby squid is cooked to perfection in a black ink sauce, enhanced with a kick of Thai spices like red chilli and garlic. The result is a delightful fusion of textures and flavours in every bite. Khao Niew Durian. Image via Tamarind at Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort The desserts at this Phukter restaurant are also worth saving space for. We especially love the Khao Niew Durian. Picture a creamy durian combined with sticky rice soaked in coconut milk – heavenly! If durian isn’t your thing, try the Mango Sticky Rice. Made with Nam Dok Mai mangoes, known for their incredible aroma, sweet taste, and unique jelly-like texture, you’ll be coming back for more. A charming seaside atmosphere Since Tamarind is located on Makham Bay, overlooking the Andaman Sea, you’ll probably want to reserve an al fresco seat to soak up the views all around. The gentle sea breeze and warm tropical sun add to the overall charm of this restaurant in Phuket. But if you prefer to dine indoors, Tamarind also boasts a beautifully decorated indoor dining area. You can enjoy your meal in comfort while still being able to admire the scenic surroundings through large windows overlooking the bay. In typical Thai style, the service at Tamarind is friendly, fast, and efficient. If you’re not sure what to order, just ask the wait staff and they will be happy to guide you through the delicious options available. Outdoor seating area.
