Unless Surin Inland Fisheries Research and Development Center, is something really special - which it could be, I don't know it - these government fish centers, IMO, just don't cut the mustard compared to the better private research institutions. I've bought fish from four different government fisheries in Isaan, and in the final analysis, none of them measured up.,

Where you think all the private farms and research centers in get their stock. The Surin Fishery is massive. You have to be Thai to use it. It is located at GPS 14.8555833582, 103.475568643 That location is just past Global House on the 214. 

Cap the scum and be done.

Thank you for the link to your thread. I read it all. Good job.

 

How did you find a highway project willing to dig your pond for free? I planned on using some of the dirt to put where the house will go, but there will be much more dirt.

 

It was not me but the wife with her friends. The contractor that was used has been in the area for at least 15 years and we have used him before. Being just off the 214 highway which is still doing a major upgrade from 2 lane to 4 lanes divided a serious amount of fill was needed. Many of ponds and canals have been dug. Her pond she took 600 loads at 150 baht a truck. The rest was sold to the government for their projects about 3000 plus loads. By getting her pond she has been able to progress where she is now selling her produce in TOPS market Surin.

We have farmland with 2 ponds (each on is 1 rai) and are buying the neighboring land which has a pond in a similar position. I want to join the three ponds and have a deep (deep as possible - deeper than they are now) giant pond. See screenshot of the satellite map - our land is on the west side and the new land is right next door.

 

Check my thread. 50mx50mx10m pond. Start at the begining.

The farmers don't know sh.t, and only an echograph can confirm the pregnancy.

Department of Livestock Development in Kap Choeng uses echograph on all project cows over 600 which 100 are at my wife's location and it is used on none project cows as well. Sounds like your in the wrong location.

US executes 2nd man in a week; lawyers said he had dementia

article

Federal inmate: Wesley Ira Purkey

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The United States on Thursday carried out its second federal execution this week, killing by lethal injection a Kansas man whose lawyers contended he had dementia and was unfit to be executed.

Wesley Ira Purkey was put to death at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. Purkey was convicted of kidnapping and killing a 16-year-old girl before dismembering, burning and dumping her body in a septic pond. He also was convicted in a state court in Kansas after using a claw hammer to kill an 80-year-old woman who had polio.

  

 

 

 

 

The Supreme Court cleared the way for the execution to take place just hours before, ruling in a 5-4 decision. The four liberal justices dissented, like they did for the first case earlier this week.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote that "proceeding with Purkey's execution now, despite the grave questions and factual findings regarding his mental competency, casts a shroud of constitutional doubt over the most irrevocable of injuries." She was joined by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan.

 

It was the federal government's second execution after a 17-year hiatus. Another man, Daniel Lewis Lee, was put to death Tuesday after his eleventh hour legal bids failed.

Both executions were delayed into the day after they were scheduled as legal wrangling continued late into the night and into the next morning.

The Justice Department has been questioned for holding the executions in the middle of the worsening coronavirus pandemic, prompting lawsuits over fears those who would travel to the prison could become infected. The decision to resume executions after nearly two decades was criticized as a dangerously political move in an election year, forcing an issue that is not high on the list of American priorities considering the 11% unemployment rate and the pandemic.

   Purkey's lawyers had argued his condition had deteriorated so severely that he didn't understand why he was being executed. They said he was repeatedly sexually assaulted as a child and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions.

The issue of Purkey's mental health arose in the run-up to his 2003 trial and when, after the verdict, jurors had to decide whether he should be put to death in the killing of 16-year-old Jennifer Long in Kansas City, Missouri. Prosecutors said he raped and stabbed her, dismembered her with a chainsaw, burned her and dumped her ashes 200 miles (320 kilometers) away in a septic pond in Kansas. Purkey was separately convicted and sentenced to life in the beating death of 80-year-old Mary Ruth Bales, of Kansas City, Kansas.

 Purkey had a long history of childhood trauma, was sexually abused by family members and a Catholic priest and was beaten by other family members, said Liz Vartkessian, a mitigation specialist who worked with Purkey's legal team and visited him dozens of times in the last five years.

"His case is replete with instances where he has expressed a deep remorse," she said in an interview earlier this month.

But recently, Purkey's mental health had seriously deteriorated to the point he didn't have the stamina for long visits with his legal team and often forgot key facts and dates, she said.

Correction officers had to help him write down a schedule to remember his visits with his lawyers, she said.

He also had a long history of paranoia and delusions and believed the Justice Department was moving forward with his execution because of many complaints and lawsuits he brought in prison, even though most had failed, Vartkessian said.

The Supreme Court also lifted a hold placed on other executions set for Friday and next month.

Dustin Honken, a drug kingpin from Iowa convicted of killing five people in a scheme to silence former dealers, was scheduled for execution Friday.
