Isn't this the virus that killed millions in the 2nd decade of 1900s?

No the "chicken flu" - known also as the Spanish flu because they detected it first - and which killed more 20 miilion people in Europe and nearly 50 million worldwide was a H5N1 virus or "avian virus"

- a Thai relative of my wife and who talked to a lawyer about a divorce from her abusive husband and she was replied that Thai courts ALWAYS instruct the lawyers to "compromise" first

- after two years of suffering this relative left her husband ...but she cannot sue him for alimony

It's well known Putin has for years been providing funds to rightwing political parties throughout the European Union. Putin for instance "loaned" a million to the fascist Marine Le Pen who nonetheless got beat back just months ago in France.

Putin and Russia are the Number One strategic adversary of the United States to include Nato which includes EU.

It is in fact long past time this occurred. Allied intelligence and national security agencies already had been monitoring these subversions. It looks as if a serious integrated allied response is in the making.

In dealing with the Chekist Putin,the more serious the better.

Please do not confuse NATO with EU : Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Malta and Sweden are EU countries but not NATO countries

Good. I hope it happens. The world needs the reset button.

The dinosaurs never amounted to anything.

Mammals just made a huge mess.

Let the insectoids have a go. I'm pretty sure they always felt it was all theirs in the first place.

Not all mamals made a mess, only our species i.e. the "homo sapiens" ...before homo sapiens arrived the Neanderthaler lived on our planet already 250.000 years

I think that for each of the member states (except Brunei) the trade with Australia or USA or EU is larger than the trade inside the ASEAN

Also the numbers of airline passengers between the member state is not impressive

It will take a long time to develop a credible common market

I had this problem also after a Skype update but the problem was solved after a reboot the PC had my password in the memory

What is here called an "Asian toilet" is called in Western Europe a "French toilet"

In the same context, before the name "condom" was used the English called it "French leather" and French called it "capote Anglaise"

I have a PVR supplied by Truevisions

A few videos saved on the PVR are on interest for my friends in Europe : has anybody experience on how to transfer video from the PVR to my desktop PC ? (eventually which kind of connecting cables to I need to plug the PVR in a USB port of my PC)

Sending EURO sums by T/T from my EU account BNPParibas to SCB bank ...I always indicate that all expenses will be paid by my EU account so that I can verify more easily where the "bank fees" are applied.

I always get exchange rate which is average 1.5 Baht per Euro less than the T/T amounts indicated on the website BNPParis as well as SCB bank (on day of transfer)

Why this bad exchange rate ?

What is the experience of other TVF members?

Go to Singapore to join a few fugitive millionaires undergoing medical treatment and where you may come in contact with Etan Couch and get infected by "affluenza"

You can try also the free version of the IOBIT malware fighter (latest version is 3.4 pro)

I use this in combination with paid Advanced System Care (now version 9) and I had my 3 PC clean for the last 10 years

You can also try to download the manual from the internet (choose English version)

According to an article in the New York Times of 1994, Mao Tse Tung was still worse ...He refused even to be treated for a sexually transmitted disease, though he knew he was spreading it to the numerous young women who shared his bed.

in my case the Immigration Police of Pathum Thani came to take the photo's themselves at our place : all very friendly

I still cant understand why politicians have allowed migration of Muslims to western Countries , I hope the PC brigade is happy with the outcome , maybe its time to start returning them to there countries of origin.

There are no special problems in Belgium with Muslims of Turkish (a very large community) or Indian origin

The problems are within the Arab speaking community (mainly of Moroccan origin) who is a target of Arab fanatical media with lots of money resources around the Gulf.

The special problem in the suburb of Brussels (Molenbeek) has something to do with the fact that a socialist politician was lord mayor of Molenbeek for 20 years and also Minister of Justice (and head of the Immigration Police) : this lord mayor has facilitated many thousands of Moroccans to settle in Molenbeek regardless the fact that they came ...not to work but to milk our social security ...he was also supporting a "fast lane law" to give to those Moroccans Belgian citizenship so that they could vote for him and his socialist party.

This is of course a sad story for the majority peaceful Muslim community which must be starting to worry about its future.

In Islam there is similar situation as in Christianity

- in Christianity you have Catholicism with a leader (Pope) who has authority to tell the Catholics what they should believe and do....and you have Protestantism without central leadership and many kinds of preachers - some appoint themselves - some of them are some peaceful and some of them are hateful (you remember the preacher who in Texas burned the Quran which caused the death of Christians in the Middle East?)

Regretfully some of the Popes have abused their authority severely to generate violence and to increase their own power (but this is not the case at present)

- in Islam you have the Shia branch with a leader (Ayatollah) who has the authority to tell the Shia's what they should believe and do....and you have the Sunni's without central leadership and many kinds of preachers - some appoint themselves - most them are peaceful but some of them are hateful (the Sunni Wahabi version of Islam is full of hate)

Regretfully some of the Ayatollah's have abused their authority severely to generate violence and to increase their own power (and this is the case at present)

The ongoing violence is a power struggle between violent and peaceful Islam and the violent believers get plenty of money to advance the political agenda of their leaders who think they are exclusive administrators of Allah on this planet : it will take many years - the end oil money in the Gulf - to stop this violence

Since the days that sports became a symbol of nationalistic pride ....we will have always cheating....and denying of cheating

No true democracy can exist if the same person (or his cronies) rule the country for more than 20 years : the first signs of oppression start usually already at the second election cycle (after about 10 years)

Sam Rainsy and his wife Saumura Tioulung had well paid top jobs in the French financial sector but for the first - UN sponsored - elections in 1993 they decided to return and serve the country where they grew up : they are great people !

Eventually download the free program moviesubtitler.exe

I had to use it when subtitles were added by VLC and visible on my PC...but when I transfered the video file to and external USB hard disk it did not show after plugging it in a USB port of my television set....after using moviesubtitler I could see the subtitles in my television.

a box of 14 capsules Miracid costs abt 65 Baht and one needs only one capsule a day : this is a cheap solution to prevent cancer of the esophagus

20 years ago I took Gaviscon every day until a gastroscopy revealed I had esophagitis : since then my doctor prescribed me first Zantac and later on still more powerfull Omeprazole capsules (Miracid in Thailand) : I have no longer acid reflux

...if Ben Carson reads every word in the Bible as the word of God than I conclude that Moses inspired the modern tactics of Boko Haram and ISIS

1. AVOID caffeine. Maximum 1 cup first thing in the morning, no more. Absolutely none (including chocolate, colas as well as coffee/tea) past noon). The tendency is to get into a vicious cycle of too little sleep --> tired --> caffeine ---> can't sleep etc

2. You can try melatonin, works well for many people. It is important to go to bed as soon as the sleepiness from it takes effect, if you don't it may pass.

3. Exercise as others have said.

4. If it still persists need to look for cause. Usually if not due to caffeine, it is due to anxiety.

5. Valerian and tryptophan also help some people, as does chamolile tea or celestial seasoning's "sleepy time tea" which contains it.

6. If you drink, cut down. People think alcohol helps them sleep but actually in the long run it hinders normal sleep.

7. Try to go to bed at the same time every night. Read until you feel sleepy.

Do not take any sort of benzo (xanax, valium etc). They are highly addictive. They will also stop working after a while. If you must take something, take atarax or other antihistamine but do not do this every single night, just once in a while and don't mix with alcohol. If atarax dose can be anywhere from 25 -75 mg, start with 25 first and see how you do. And as mentioned, only occasionally. While not addictive, it too will stop working if used regularly, and safety of long term use at sleep dosage has not been established.

If I have an evening or night with difficult sleep I start to read a book : reading seems to take more energy than you think and makes you tired

...he was the favorite source of "intelligence" about WMD in Iraq for Donald Rumsfeld

Why are those fancy world conferences always in places where there is a lot of fun such as Bangkok and not in Ulaanbaatar or Timbuktu ...or Jeddah
