That's the first thing I've done, but without success. It only seems to affect users who've got MS Office linked to an MS account.

I have a Microsoft Outlook email account that I have signed into and I have not had a problem. I must think about this and see if I can give any reasonable recommendations

The update is in the settings facility. 1803 is the latest download, I have just installed on my computer. Have you tried re-booting? Sometimes that will pick the rest up

I have been considering doing this for a while but don't know where to begin. I have a degree from Caltech, and would be very interested in helping to proofread scientific papers, particularly physics and mathematics, before they get published. I have some time right now and need some extra money.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation on what I should do and where I should go to try and get involved in this?

You could try the IET in the UK. I believe they are always asking for reviewers of papers

I have Ofice 2016 on my computer and I have also installed all the updates. No message at all, still working perfectly. What version of Windows are you running? I have Windows 10 and there is the update facility

Drove past this last week. It really is huge.

 

Wonder what they will do with Hualampong .......... a real landmark. Be a shame to see it go to seed or close.

• Convert it into a museum maybe?

lets hope someone can come in and teach Thais how to do electric wiring properly. 

 

I was just in a new 7,000,000 baht house for sale in Hua Hin. Not one appliance was grounded. Third ground wire just cut back and not connected to anything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was trying to get the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) to open an office here but so far nothing has happened. Thinking about it it may be of little use even if they did. English is the International language and unfortunately most Thai's do not speak much English.

The idea was that they could arrange visiting speakers but again the language barrier would make it fail

Now I know how you get a Ducati

If you go to a professional organization that specializes in shipping of animals overseas they will help. I once shipped my Alsatian from the UK to Zambia. Spratts (handling / shipping company) took care of everything. Wasnt cheap but well worth it

Get all that wiring out it is a potential death trap. Get a total re-wire and check the insulation after installation. Do not use fuses use CB's suitably rated and get a proper earth installed and tested. Make all your sockets three pin with the earth pin connected to earth

Im talking about the volum of venom, not only the ability to give dry bites. 

 

So he crawled down on his knees to have a better look? Spitting cobra doesnt have a huge range spitting venom! I will leave it to the experts telling the facts, but I doubt any spitting cobra spitt more than their body length. I read up to 4 feet, and they do not get much longer than 4-5 feet long. 

Volume yes I agree. That wasnt clear from your post though

Even if, and it is not going to happen, the UK tells them where she is what are they going to do? They cant force her back to Thailand as that would be kidnapping and the Thais doing it would be jailed. I dont see the point in them asking.

I think it can be taken as a given that both her and her brother will have very good security in place just in case someone thinks up a crazy idea about them.

Baby snakes do not have full dose venom as a grown, but grown snakes control their venom better, and in many cases only give warning bites.

 

Im sure you can ask in one of the fb pages to id your snake. Snakes of Hua Hin is a very active page, just remember to add location where you see the snake.

Snakes have full venom from birth. Agreed adult snakes can chose to give a dry bite of a venom bite

How do you know it was American? was it going to impose sanctions of the snakes of Thailand?

Flowers can be used to make compost, plastic bags and concrete cant

Check Singapore red light districts..... 

I am sure you are right but my mind doesnt really consider such areas in this world. Even if it is worse that doesnt excuse Walking Street

Knock the buildings down, remove and dispose of the waste in an environmentally way and charge the company who refuses to provide the documentation with the full cost of the demolition and the court fees.

Then charge all the "committee" members with contempt of court

Civil engineers Thai style, no wonder they do not want foreign workers doing it . 

I wish the use of the word "Engineer" would stop being banded around. Thailand has very few real engineers and those that are do not work in Thailand.

This paragraph is totally ridiculous, I don't think anyone who ever took offence to Walking Street even noticed there were overhanging wires! 

That is probably because most people in Walking street are high or stoned

Honda civic is just under the million Baht mark. Very reliable and comfortable. Easy to get parts should you need to buy some which you wont with a new one
