Myanmar Worker Found Slain Near Chonburi Labour Camp
A grisly murder occurred near a labour camp in Chonburi's Si Racha district, where a Burmese worker was found brutally killed with multiple stab wounds to his face and neck. Authorities suspect that at least two assailants were involved in the attack, which took place in a wooded area beside a workers' camp. At approximately 15:00 on November 8, Lieutenant Colonel Rachun Chaipin, Deputy Investigator at Nong Kham Police Station, received a report of a body found along the Pinthong 4- Huai Saphan Road in the Bueang Subdistrict of Si Racha. The victim, identified as 28-year-old Jo Yi Ted, had been dead for at least 20 hours, with his body showing signs of multiple injuries, including a slashed throat and five stab wounds to the face and forehead. Police investigations revealed that Jo Yi Ted, who had previously worked as a CCTV installer, was living in the nearby construction camp. However, he had been expelled from the camp by the foreman two months earlier due to repeated accusations of stealing money from his coworkers. After his expulsion, he had reportedly been seen frequenting the area. The location where he was found dead was a spot where workers often gathered for drinks after hours. Near the body, police found a clothing bag and a partially consumed bottle of herbal whiskey. They speculate that Jo Yi Ted may have encountered individuals he had previously stolen from, which led to the fatal confrontation. Authorities have launched a thorough investigation and are pursuing suspects in what they believe to be a premeditated attack involving multiple people. Police are committed to apprehending those responsible and pursuing justice in this disturbing case. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-09 -

I will be quitting AseanNow
If you can muster up enough self-discipline to stay away from the Political Soapbox or whatever it is called, you will be OK. Otherwise, a four-year sabbatical is probably the best route for your self-preservation. Best wishes to you. -

Sainsbury's Faces £140 Million Hit from National Insurance Hike, Warns of Rising Inflation
Sainsbury's, one of the UK’s largest supermarket chains, is facing significant financial challenges following recent budget measures that will add a £140 million burden to its operating costs. Chief Executive Simon Roberts warned that this increase, stemming from the hike in employers' national insurance contributions, is likely to lead to further inflation and potentially tough choices for the company. Roberts noted the financial strain that the increased national insurance contributions will impose, saying, "This impact on national insurance was unexpected and is coming in fast, it will have a very significant impact, it will impact our costs base... and our suppliers' cost base." This unexpected financial weight will come into effect in April, following Chancellor Rachel Reeves' announcement in last week’s budget. The Sainsbury’s CEO expressed concerns about the inflationary impact of these new costs, noting that they are beyond what the company can absorb. "There’s a barrage of costs," he said, highlighting that Sainsbury’s customers might ultimately bear the financial brunt of these changes. Roberts pointed to the analysis of the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), an independent forecaster, which suggested that Reeves’ budget measures will drive inflation higher than originally anticipated. "It’s difficult to disagree with" the OBR’s assessment, Roberts added. In addition to the national insurance increase, the new budget also raised the national minimum wage, another factor contributing to overall cost increases. While Roberts did not put a specific number on how much these changes would inflate prices, he acknowledged the growing pressure, saying, "There’s a lot of pressure in the pipeline... there’s pressure in the system in inflation already." Roberts expressed disappointment over the budget's impact on business rates as well. Many businesses had anticipated a reduction in these rates, but instead, they are now expected to rise next year. Roberts commented, "Business rates will go up this year. I certainly didn’t expect them to go up next year; I expected them to go down." As for the potential impact on Sainsbury’s workforce, Roberts stated that it is "too early to be specific," but he acknowledged that "difficult decisions" would likely have to be made. Although he did not elaborate on whether these decisions could involve staffing changes, he hinted that the combination of rising national insurance, minimum wage costs, and other pressures may lead to unavoidable adjustments in operations. Sainsbury’s is not alone in dealing with the implications of the new budget. Other major UK companies have reported similar concerns. JD Wetherspoon, the pub chain with more than 1,000 establishments, announced that the budget measures would increase its costs by £60 million next year. Marks & Spencer, another prominent UK retailer, expects to see a £120 million impact on its finances. These announcements highlight the widespread concerns across the retail and hospitality sectors, which are grappling with the same financial pressures as Sainsbury’s.

Dog deterrent app that actually works ??
"Sounds can become uncomfortable for dogs around 25,000 Hz. The rule of thumb is the higher the frequency and the louder the noise (or higher the decibel), the more discomfort it will cause your pup."
