Melania Trump Defends Nude Modeling: A Celebration of the Human Form
I doubt that but not really the point. Being the First Lady is a job, undertaken with pride by all her predecessors but for some bizarre reason ol' Melania is too good for public duty and did very little as First Lady. This has continued to the point she is now rarely seen at all since leaving the White House and doesn't even show up when dear hubby has been shot Melania Trump really doesn’t care, do u? (ft.com) The Trump family: who is up, who is down and where is Melania? (ft.com) -

No, the downside is that you cannot install the apps in the first place. Neither of your suggestions can work. -

Interactive Wire Transfer In Baht to Bangkok Bank - BBK Transfer fees?
The architecture of SWIFT is very similar to the internet. If you want to go from A to B and there is no direct connection then the internet messages are routed using the IP routing protocol. If bankA needs to send to bankB and there is no direct connection (through Nostro/Vostro accounts) then bankA will search amongst the SWIFT members to find a third bank (bankC) which does have a direct connection with both bankA and bankB. bankC then becomes the corresponding bank that bankA sends the money to. bankC will then send to bankB. All transfers are direct bank to bank between SWIFT members. On that point @Dan O is correct. -

Facebook minimum age?
The point is: would you condone it? Looks like social media is becoming the new "dark web". A heaven for pedophiles and sickos. The link I posted says "children from 10 to 15 years looking for boy/girlfriend". But if you look, there are sickos from mich older age looking for a "boy/girlfriend". Also, the point is that a few weeks ago a guy was arrested because the cops found some pictures of children on his harddisk. If you have browsed the link, your hard disk will be full with pictures of kiddies. This is so wrong. -

Daikin - the worst garbage aircon
I have Samsung Aircons, 4 of them. I wish I had Daikin inverters. They saved me a crap ton of money. Exit pipe clogging affects all types of aircon. -

Watching videos on a LG TV – from my home computer
Well, the app that Fruittrader mentioned looks useful, the only downside you'd have to use the built in TV video player. If you want to use a good quality video app, then CX File Explorer would let you pair it with any player of your choice. It's free, and shockingly eas to use. Step 1. Download CX file explorer (either on the TV if possible, a connected mini pc or a android box, either would work) Step 2 Find your laptops on the network and create a link to them in the app. Step 3 Click the link and accesss your videos. -

Southern Industries Oppose 400 Baht Wage Hike, Call for Regional Adjustments
The Southern Industrial Council firmly opposes the proposed increase of Thailand's minimum wage to 400 baht, advocating for a more nuanced, region-specific approach. Adisorn Tanaengchuan, President of the Southern Industrial Council and executive member of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), voiced concerns ahead of the Labour Wage Committee's meeting today, which aims to discuss the third minimum wage adjustment for 2024. The government’s policy proposes raising the minimum wage to 400 baht from October 1, pending a two-thirds majority vote. Despite resistance from employer representatives, the current administration is pushing forward with the increase. Central to the opposition is the argument that a blanket wage hike would not account for the economic diversity across Thailand's regions. Adisorn highlighted that the industrial sector, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are already struggling with high electricity and oil costs, not to mention competition from the influx of Chinese products. A universal wage hike to 400 baht could exacerbate these struggles, potentially leading to more factory closures, which have already been on the rise. Adisorn suggested that wage adjustments should consider varying economic conditions and be tailored to different regions and industries. He noted that some sectors, particularly those relying on agricultural outputs with low technology and labour-intensive processes, could accommodate the wage increase more readily than others. The Southern Industrial Council president is urging the government to heed feedback from business representatives, employees, and public agencies. He emphasised that even employees do not uniformly support a nationwide wage increase, advocating instead for region-specific adjustments that better reflect local economic conditions and GDP growth rates. “We want the government to listen to the voices of business representatives, employees, and public agencies. Currently, even employees do not want a blanket 400 baht wage hike across the country,” Adisorn reiterated. In conclusion, the Southern Industrial Council believes that a one-size-fits-all wage policy could lead to unnecessary economic strain and business closures. They call for careful consideration of regional differences and a collaborative approach to ensure the proposed wage adjustments support economic sustainability and growth.
