Perhaps the fact that the Soviet Union is not the same as the Russian Federation is lost on you. The USSR was comprised of 15 different countries, fourteen of these are not part of the Russian Federation. The UN and the UN Security Council are two different entities. I would suggest your post was highly inaccurate and less than a half-truth at best. Maybe, checking your posts against a reliable source or even better still posting the correct evidence with the OP would be beneficial to others on the forum.

Come on! What grown single male does household cleaning on a daily basis. I suggest that if you are generally tidy, leaving it a week is not an issue, in most cases. Perhaps you should never have left home and mom if it is a problem! Usually as Sheryl said most wound dressings are waterproof. So unlikely any redressing will be required.

I can support Sheryl's advice that you would not normally need any help around the house following an inguinal hernia operation. I recently had an the "open surgery" version of the operation and had no difficulty coping alone and I am elderly and not particularly fit. The only advice I can give is have pain killers available although I only needed paracetamol and some constipation meds to ease any toilet strain. I normally do my own cooking and shopping so for convenience's sake I organized a week's supply of mainly frozen dinners and other needs beforehand.

The walls are closing in ..... Supreme Court Rejects Trump Request to Intervene in Documents Case "The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a request from former President Donald J. Trump to intervene in the litigation over documents seized from his Florida estate, a stinging rebuke that blocked his effort to get access to classified documents found there by the F.B.I. The court’s single-sentence order noted no dissents, and the court gave no rationale, saying only that his application to lift a stay issued by a federal appeals court was denied".

So, the "Soviet Union" was a founding member of the UN Security Council! From what I can see, you have not provided any evidence that "Russia was a founding member of the UN".

Are you suggesting that Russia was a founding member of the UN? If so, please provide some supporting evidence!

I would suggest that Putin's recent actions are the antithesis of APEC's primary goal. Which is to promote sustainable economic growth, trade and investment, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. Unless there is a consensus of members to censure Putin at the meeting, which won't happen, his attendance will serve no good purpose, except for him to use the meeting to push his agenda and more propaganda.

Your flawed original and still current assessment that if Ukraine gave up joining Nato and some land, the war would have not happened is not support by facts. At the start NATO never had any plans for Ukraine to join NATO and later Ukraine even offered to never seek membership. Putin never sought to discuss this offer or withdraw his attack. It is clear that the main reasons for the war is that a free and democratic, west-facing Ukraine would jeopardize Putin's authoritarian rule in Russia, he considers Ukraine is part of Russia and it has no right to democracy, and he wants to roll back the clock to 1991 before the collapse of the USSR. Obviously, you have not read most of the factual information about the Ukraine/Russia war posted here. Perhaps you at least attempt to contemplate a view that does not agree with your flawed alternate one.

I think if you are compliant with BPH medication like Duodart etc, they will drop your PSA by half the component the BPH is causing, urologists seem to be able to calculate from this any untoward component of your PSA reading. Wish you luck with the antibiotics dropping the PSA. I think in the West, consecutive PSA's of over 5.5 and/or a high risk from family relationships indicate a MRI screening.

I would suggest that is no advantage of having a biopsy without an MRI first. It is only necessary to have a biopsy for prostate cancer if your MRI shows a positive or a suspicious result first. Why have a very invasive procedure and risk infection especially with a trans-rectal biopsy when a biopsy may not be required. I don't think trans-perineal biopsies are the norm in Thailand yet. though it's rate of sepsis post biopsy is nearly 0%, which is 40 to 70 times less than that of trans-rectal. "In a trial of population-based screening by invitation, our results showed that among men with elevated PSA levels, combined biopsy performed only in men who had positive results on MRI was noninferior to standard biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer."

People still get injured and die in car accidents even though cars have airbags, they wear seatbelts and drive with care. No vaccine or pre-caution is 100% effective. The only thing in life that has a 100% guarantee is death itself.

In one of the videos, there is a large truck with a passenger car alongside that may have been the cause yet there is a boat in another shown under the bridge just before the blast too. Looks like both lanes of the road are damaged too likely with a lot of unseen structural damage.

If the Kerch Bridge explosion was caused by Ukraine, this may well be the acid test of Putin's resolve to pursue his nuclear threats. Bring out the iodine tablets! It may even be the straw that finally breaks his power and credibility in the Duma and bring about a regime change.

Ukraine War: Russia 'trying to keep nuclear debate going' Putin is succeeding in his ploy to continue his latest nuclear threat for political gain in the Kremlin and the West.

Russians are fleeing their homeland in protest of Putin’s draft Russians are abandoning their families, trying to escape the war. At least 200,00 have arrived in Kazakhstan this week alone. Some Russian Corporations have a policy now of sending employees out of the country to help them escape the draft and the war. There are even Russian boat people arriving on US shores to avoid the draft.

Yet, taking away the guns away from the 2017 US Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooter who killed 60 and wounded almost 900 at a country music festival, would have certainly stopped the lunatic's carnage. He would have had difficulty in duplicating the act with a knife from the 32nd floor of the resort, 450 metres away from the concert.

US fuel prices are now cheaper than most other Western countries in the world. Obviously, it is a global problem. Possibly, US is cheaper because of Biden's policies.

US has never tried implementing the sensible stricter gun laws of countries like Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand or Norway. But because now, guns are sadly part of a political agenda, the US most likely never will.

The pier is in one of the main safe all year berths in the Phuket area which attracts a lot of normal and possibly nefarious traffic. It also has an Immigration, Customs and Marine Department located at the end of the pier where a lot of international yachts check-in. Boat people eg Rohingyas have been found landing in Chalong bay. The AI system will no doubt improve safety and security.

Get a crash repair shop to give it a check. They know the telltale signs. They may have to remove some plastic covers to check the inside of the panels properly. I had a crash in my Toyota Corolla which had been repaired quite well. On picking the vehicle up from the repairer, he mentioned something about this being the vehicle's second accident. This was a surprise as I had the car from new and as far as I was concerned this accident was the first and only one. He went on to say that sometimes new vehicles have bad accidents before delivery and are repaired and sold by dealers as new. When new vehicle had been delivered, I noticed some overspray on the car's doors handles but the dealer had lied and told me the car had been stored near the paint booth in his workshop out of the sun, the week before delivery.

Putin has threatened the West with nuclear strikes on many occasions over Ukraine, ever since he warned the US about stationing missile defences there in 2008. Then again in 2014, if Ukraine tried to retake Crimea. Yet he has caved in on every instance. Though we should be mindful of the possibility, we should also keep the latest threat in context of his past behaviour. Are Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threats a bluff? In a word – probably "Since the invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin has waggled its nuclear arsenal so many times it’s starting to become tedious. Even the most peripheral slight is apparently fair game, like former President Dmitry Medvedev’s invocation of nuclear retaliation if the International Criminal Court (ICC) pursued war crimes investigations against Russian soldiers".

Curiously, most of the ophthalmologists I have seen in Thailand, mainly in smaller cities, worked in hospitals and also consulted in their own clinics, where they also tested for, prescribed and sold glasses. I agree there is a critical shortage in Thailand. The waiting time for an ophthalmologist in the regional public hospitals for only a minute of their time, with another 10 patients in the consulting room, is ridiculous. Their clinics provide a better personalised experience but with a fee.

Based on Thailand prices in 2013, I would suggest that costs now would be approximately 20,000 baht for HRIG and 5,000 baht for ERIG, 10-MS-14-201427.pdf (mahidol.ac.th) "Rabies immunoglobin always should be used in conjunction with rabies vaccine in previously unvaccinated persons" Rabies Immunoglobulin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
