Sure, you can vote for yourself.  I did when I was in the running.  Often.

Often and in the same poll too.

They're a bit fussy about the age of photos, I'd get a new set done before you put your application in.

I had my new passport posted out to me without a problem.

(I kept a watchful eye on the mail box for a few days... )

They are very fussy about everything to do with the photos.  They did tell me that there is a photographer in an adjacent building who knew the requirements at Chiangmai.  

You still have to go through the full procedure each year.

If you havwe a full valid passort you apply using the form online that you fill out and lodge.  You print this out.

You take this to the Embassy or outreach with the fee and your old passport and photos. They accept it and you collect it in a couple of weeks from the Embassy.  If not in Bangkok you can get it mailed express post but that is at your risk.

Once you have it take the cancelled old passport and the new one to immigration to transfer the stamps.

In civilized countries parents are legally responsible for their children's actions until they are of legal age themselves. This helps parents to be good parents, because if they don't make sure their children are brought up responsibly, it will come back to bite them in the arse financially. Always a pretty good incentive, I think.

 

But then again, we're not talking about a civilized society here, I guess.

Depends on which countries you are talking about,  This is civil damage and a parent is only responsible for debts for essentials for children in Britain Australia and I believe Canada as well as most places based on Weestminster law principles.

In the west children from the age of 3 months are sent to child care centres and then schools and after school care centres while the mothers work.

In Thailand traditionally the grandmothers raised the children of their children so that the mothers and fathers could continue working.

I am sure these Motorcycle clubs are completely law abiding.  In the rules for membership they require a full motorcyle  licence.  More law abiding than most.

Cost ofthe operation enormous.....they already knew that they would not be able to save a life.. 

They should do what the hospitals do here, present a bill for the operation which must be paid before the bodies are released.

Seriously there is a time when you have to say  60 people and much risk against a wait of a few months and only a small team to revover the bodies is better.

How about - She didn't show up in court and maybe she's in bed with an ear-ache?

A search of her premises could show evidence of her location and those who helped her....a US court would give a warrent for a search warrent when a fugitive broke a court order to stay in the country.

he should have been given a plane ticket to Singapore with a couple of spray cans.

Should have had to do the job himself.  Five coats..

  here is the right brush

Though the child does not aparently fit in any of the categories listed so he may be safe from that.

I buy my coffee to drink but this was a great win and I am sure he deserved it.  Congratulations.

Australian Family Law applies.  No crime.  You did not have exclusive custody....You could apply to the could but you will not get it, at best visit right which would be unenforceable.

On divorce if here court takes little account of length of marriage.

Nott sure if you can get out of need to pay child support as not the birth father but though possible may be hard.  Has she applied for it?

Yes the compulsory one is still needed

Yes and yes

What is the use of an accord which permits the worlds largest polluters like China and India free reign while adding costs to the countries that abide by them.  One in all in one out all out is what it should be.

You are saying she needs formal training when probably every man working in that shop has none?

She's just changing brake shoes/ pads and maybe mufflers, not fixing the next space ship to Mars.

So by  your reasoning nurses do not need training as they are only giving medicine provided by a doctor and reading a few dials.

In both cases lives are at stake, a mechanic who just replaces a broken part without knowing parts can kill just as quick as a nurse can by not understanding a reaction to a drug.

Male or female does not matter.  Competancy does.

My last bill on a single phase worked out at 4.2 baht unit total

A friend of mine had a sauna. It was heated with a small homemade barrel stove. Around his house, he had a lot of trees. There were always plenty of dead branches on the ground. He had the benefit of cleaning his yard and free heat. He knew exactly how many branches to put in the stove to get the sauna to the temperature he wanted.

Yes, I did in fact become an ASE certified Master Technician with no schooling. I started sweeping out and emptying trash, etc., part time at the Gaylordsville Garage when I was fourteen. At sixteen I bought my first car, a Renault Dauphine, for $15. I had to replace a rear wheel bearing, an exhaust valve and one piston where a piece of the valve had perforated the top.
All else was similar hands on until cars became more complicated, and I hit the books. I took the exams two at a time when I felt ready.
"Of course she could have been trained with the theoretical background from books and had that reinforced by the practical training she may have had with her father" is a correct statement, except that the particular areas mentioned in the article are absolutely possible to learn OJT. For over one hundred years that is the way mechanics learned their trade. Period.
What are your qualifications to declare in this situation, might I ask?

Several years working in  Radio Communications Equipment and Radar after Army training,  Diploma in Computer Engineering then work with this and did a degree in Computer Science.  Various competncies including Certified Trainer and Assessor in Competancy Based Training.  Periods of lecturing at University and at Technical Colleges in aspects of Computer Science.

Should give me some right to comment on the need for formal training.  Which you yourself said you had done by study of home based courses.  Of course this was a while ago.

How did you conclude she has a lack of training?

The article states that she "Now she is back doing what she likes best."
That means she was doing it before. Probably in her father's shop.
I was an ASE certified auto technician for many years, and am amazed at the ignorance spewed forth on TV by some people whose only "qualification" appears to be their gender.
Two of the absolute best mechanics I have known were both women, one of whom I was half in love with because of her lovingly restored 1903 curved dash Oldsmobile.

This was not gender specific but training is not just working on cars because she likes them  or working in her fathers garage as a child thought this is a good start.  Training needs study and teaching of various aspects.  I am sure if you asked her many things taught to a true mechanic in trade school she would be unable to answer.  Being a mechanic requires both hands on training, which she has but also trade school based training.  DId you get to be an ASE certified auto technician without recieving technical training?

Of course she could have been trained with the theoretical background from books and had that reinforced by the practical training she may have had with her father.

I am all for women doing any job but they need to be qualified just like men.  I would have said the same if the photo had been one of a footballer who pasted a photo that he was back doing what he wanted to do most...work on other peoples most expensive possession because his father owned a workshop.  Training is needed for all as is hands on.  They compliment each other.
