Spanish student dies after being attacked by elephant in Thailand
You don't understand what 'domesticated' means. These are captive elephants. They are not domesticated. Domestication is a long process that involves selective breeding over many generations. That's how we turned wolves into dogs ... over thousands of years. Elephants have not been selectively bred long enough (if at all!) to be considered 'domesticated'. [Also note that true domestication usually also results in incidental changes to physical features ... we don't see this is captive elephants]. -

Wanting Cavendish banana shoots
Yeah I like these fat ones too especially when just before they start getting very ripe. “Yummy for my tummy” as Arnie would say. Seems that the real Cavendish search is hitting a dead end. -

Low Cost Cataract Surgery
Ask at your local military hospital, I had mine done at one in my area, the surgeon was a ranking medical officer. Though it was a few years back, had both done over a month for 36K....🤗 -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
totally agree but it is also my understanding that the Thai revenue dept must inform clearly if ALL income or only assessable income is necessarily reportable. Funny how well over a year into this new interpretation and we have such little info from the Govt. -

SO who of you guys live in Thailand?
Possibly it was the sneering reference to poms that started it. And FWIW I do live here. -

Widow of deceased former US Naval Officer
It's entirely possible that, as a surviving spouse of a retired military member drawing a military pension and social security, she would be entitled to certain benefits under each type of retirement plan. For the surviving spouse of a retired military member: • Eligibility: Surviving spouses may qualify for DIC if the veteran’s death was service-connected or if the veteran was receiving a permanent total disability rating for at least 10 years prior to death. The veteran must have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. • Benefits: DIC provides a monthly tax-free benefit to eligible survivors, which is designed to help with living expenses. 2. Survivors Pension • Eligibility: This benefit is available to low-income, un-remarried surviving spouses of wartime veterans who meet certain service requirements. The veteran must have served at least 90 days on active duty during a wartime period or have served a minimum of 24 months. • Benefits: The Survivors Pension is a tax-free monetary benefit that can help cover basic living expenses. 3. Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) • Overview: The SBP provides a continuous lifetime annuity to surviving spouses after the retiree’s death. Retired service members can allocate a portion of their retirement pay to this plan, ensuring financial support for their spouse. • Benefits: The annuity typically amounts to 55% of the deceased member’s retired pay and is available for life unless the spouse remarries before age 55, which suspends eligibility. 4. Social Security Survivor Benefits • Eligibility: If the deceased service member had sufficient work credits under Social Security, the surviving spouse may be eligible for benefits based on the deceased’s earnings record. This includes benefits for spouses caring for dependent children or those over age 60. • Benefits: Monthly payments can assist with living costs, especially if the surviving spouse is caring for minor children. 5. Additional Benefits • Burial Benefits: Surviving spouses may receive assistance with burial costs and related expenses through VA programs. • Health Care and Life Insurance: Eligible surviving spouses can access health care services through the VA and may qualify for life insurance benefits depending on the veteran’s coverage. These benefits are designed to provide financial stability and support to surviving spouses as they navigate life after the loss of their military partner. It is advisable for survivors to contact the Department of Veterans Affairs or relevant military benefit offices to understand their eligibility and apply for these benefits effectively. She pay also be entitled to some benefits under Social Security if the retiree was covered. Anyway, there's probably something there, so the should perhaps contact both the department paying the military retirement (if that's what he was getting) and the Social security Administration. She will likely need to prove that she was married and. for how long, and will need a death certificate and so on.
