Can you do 90 day notification by mail, say, 10-12 days before the deadline?
You can, but will it get approved and or, receive your notice that it was approved in time, Was done though, online is so easy, and they seemed to sorted it out. Hasn't crashed in quite some time. Did mine the other day online, and got approved the next day. That was pretty impressive, and a first, as usually takes up to a week. -

Suphan Buri: Subdistrict Administrative Member Caught Exploiting 12-Year-Old Girl
Thai woman forces 12 year old niece into prostitution with govt official by Petch Petpailin Photo via Channel 7 A Thai woman forced her 12 year old niece into prostitution, offering sex services to a 60 year old government official in the central province of Suphan Buri. The case came to light when the 12 year old victim fled from home and sought help from a friend’s family. The family accompanied the girl to the Doem Bang Nang Buat Police Station to file a complaint. Police revealed that the girl’s aunt, whose name remains undisclosed, allegedly forced her to offer sex services to the 60 year old man, named Sakhon Pornsatjadham, who worked as a member of the district administrative organisation council. Sakhon was arrested yesterday, September 12, after being summoned for questioning. He admitted to paying the girl’s aunt 2,000 baht for sex with the young girl. He said he arranged a meeting at a local convenience store before taking the girl to a hotel. Sakhon claimed to have taken Viagra before sexually assaulting the girl. He then returned the girl to the convenience store, where her aunt was waiting to pick her up. The aunt allegedly shared 1,000 baht of the 2,000 baht payment with the girl. According to the victim, her aunt forced her to provide sex services to Sakhon again, but she refused. Scared of her aunt’s anger, the girl decided to flee from her home to stay with her friend. Sakhon was charged under Section 277 of the Criminal Law, which carries a penalty of imprisonment from five to 20 years and a fine from 10,000 to 400,000 baht. It remains unclear whether the girl’s aunt was summoned for questioning or charged with any crime. In a related incident, an 11 year old girl was allegedly tricked by her aunt into meeting a perverted man who attempted to rape her in his pickup truck. Fortunately, the girl managed to escape. Her father, frustrated with the slow pace of the legal system, took matters into his own hands and brutally beat up the suspect. There is no update on whether the girl has received justice.

Trump admits he lost in 2020, leading white nationalist Nick Fuentes to disavow him
Trump said in the debate that he was being sarcastic when he said he lost the 2020 election "by a whisker". The "whisker" interview, at 11:00, I did not detect any sarcasm, but I'm not a Trump-whisperer... -

Foreign pickup driver flees after crashing into Thai woman in Phuket
In order to fit in foreigners tend to behave like Thais on the road, otherwise it’d be dangerous. The woman I bet rushed into that space as soon as she physically could rather than if it was safe to do so. How many Thais stop after causing an accident? None, if they can get away with it. Let them moan and groan, otherwise it’s a non-story. -

Fish pond filter
Am thinking of buying a filter for my fishpond. It has a pump already and 2 outlets, 1 for wall fountain and the other an centre fountain that I have diverted to the side. The only one I can really find online is in the picture. I hoped somebody might kindly have some input. My wife thinks it is frivolous so I am on a budget. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Yes very much so, he had several Jewish friends, who as we've seen gave him substantial gifts of money. However, we have also seen Churchill himself expressing opinions which by today's standard would have seen him firmly dragged into the antisemitic corner, blaming the jews for persecution. The quote you provide is of course flatly contradicted by other quotes from Churchill where he goes on record to show precisely he was against others due to race and birth: In 1902, Churchill stated that "The Aryan stock is bound to triumph" and also: I do not admit ... for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place. Henry A. Wallace, Vice President of the USA, reports in his diary that during a White House lunch in May 1943 Churchill "said why be apologetic about Anglo-Saxon superiority, that we were superior, that we had the common heritage which had been worked out over the centuries in England and had been perfected by our constitution." Churchill's personal doctor, Lord Moran, commented at one point that, in regards to other races, "Winston thinks only of the colour of their skin." But not only was Churchill's stance against other men, based on their birth and race, ideological, no, he also took actions which killed people, that were born out of this strong racism Churchill harboured. For instance during WWII Churchill's role in the Bengal famine was appalling. Despite pleas by his own British colonial administration to ease the Indian famine, Churchill stockpiled food in front of the Indians' noses and prioritised it for the British people, knowing full well there was a famine in India, the food was there and could have helped ease the starvation, but he stockpiled the food there for further shipment to Britain. Three million Indians died as a result of starvation. Churchill described the Arabs as a "lower manifestation" than the Jews, whom he viewed as a "higher grade race" compared to the "great hordes of Islam" in his 1920 article which he titled "Zionism versus Bolshevism", he wrote that communism, which he considered a "worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality",[40] had been established in Russia by Jews: There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews; it is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders.[61] Although an anti-Semitic belief in an international Jewish conspiracy was not unique among British politicians of the time, few of them had the stature of Churchill.[62] The article was criticised by the Jewish Chronicle at the time, calling it "the most reckless and scandalous campaign in which even the most discredited politicians have ever engaged".[63] The Chronicle said Churchill had adopted "the hoary tactics of hooligan anti-Semites" in his article. In May 1954 Violet Bonham-Carter asked Churchill's opinion about a Labour Party visit to China. Winston Churchill replied: I hate people with slit eyes and pigtails. I don't like the look of them or the smell of them – but I suppose it does no great harm to have a look at them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Winston_Churchill So whether or not Winston Churchill was the greatest Briton of all time or not, personally I would rate Cecil Rhodes higher, Churchill certainly was the greatest racist of the British establishment who came to power. Whether this anecdote you relate, about Churchill staying in the same hotel and making this comment to Putzi Hanfstaengl is true or not is debatable, Putzi Hanfstaengl was a known liar. But it may well be. We know that after being informed of Americans barring men of colour from military buildings Churchill made a racist joke, but he also wrote to the Americans that they should not expect support from the British in enforcing this colour ban. Despite Churchill's deep rooted racism it was indeed as if in many instances an innate decency, and ability to distinguish right from wrong, overrode his racism. But that was not always the case, as in the famine of Bengal, even though there too, at the end Churchill did the right thing. Equally the same instances of decent behaviour can be observed by Hitler on occasion, however, on others he behaved absolutely abominably. Both men show that there is good and bad in all men. But we should certainly be very modest in declaring Churchill a champion of equality. He wasn't always. -
