Trump Demands Transparency on U.S.-Russia Prisoner Swap Details
Did we receive any transparency in any of his exchanges?... In November 2019, the Trump administration secured the release of American Kevin King and Australian Timothy Weeks, who were being held by the Taliban, in exchange for the release of three senior Taliban leaders being held in jails in Afghanistan. In December 2019, the U.S. did a prisoner exchange with Iran, freeing Xiyue Wang, a graduate student at Princeton University who was serving a 10-year sentence in Iran on espionage charges. To secure Wang’s release, the U.S. freed Masoud Soleimani, an Iranian scientist convicted of export violations. In July 2020, the Trump administration secured the release of Michael White, a Marine veteran jailed in Iran on charges of insulting the country’s supreme leader, in exchange for the release of a dermatologist convicted on export violations. In October 2020, a deputy assistant to Trump helped broker a deal to free two Americans being held hostage by Iranian-backed militants in Yemen in exchange for the release of about 250 Houthi rebels being held in Oman. -

a question about 'period of consideration'
Hello all, I have a question that I would really appreciate an answer to if anyone can. Here is my scenario I have been teaching here in Thailand a long time. I have full teaching licence...so paperwork should not be an issue. I resigned from my fulltime job (fully legal work permit etc) at the end of July. The company I worked for generously gave me a letter stating that I would be with them till July 31st ( I was with them till 14th)....Ok, so on the 26th of July I exited Thailand, went to Cambodia and got a...'visa on arrival' I guess that gives me 30 days. Obviously the next step is for my new company to provide me with the paperwork to go to Laos before August 26 to apply for NON B..... Now, here is the question. My father is sick...I mean, this might be my last time with him. What I am concerned about is what happens to the 'process' if I leave Thailand in the October school break? I know I can get a re entry permit, and that will make the visa NOT get cancelled....However, I seem to remember the last company I worked for insisting that everyone finished the process of obtaining a work permit etc BEFORE they exited Thailand. Will the 'period of consideration' need to start again if I leave? I get that the visa would not be cancelled with the re entry permit. Do I really need to tell this company they MUST get me the work permit BEFORE I leave? I hope I have given a clear outline of my scenario. I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks -

A symptom of the disease that prevents tourists from choosing Thailand as a place to go ?
I appreciate the effort to show me some TV options. I did watch some live stuff last night… but artistic (blah blah blah, you fill in the blanks) and ping pong??? I can’t go back to last week and see if real sports action was shown on Thai TV. Again, I was not aware that tiddlywinks and team rope skipping were “sports”. Thanks for a pole-vaulting experience, -

Best tires for Scooter. Michelin, Pirelli, IRC?
Here’s the thing, as rubber ages, it interacts with the air in the atmosphere, causing oxidation. Oxidation causes the rubber to harden and become brittle. The rubber will wear away much more slowly but will offer significantly lower levels of grip. Oxidation also shows up as cracks or “checking” on the sidewall. Cracking on the sidewall, or in between the traction blocks, indicates severe oxidation, and it’s a sign that the tires should be replaced. This brings us to the third reason why a tire wears out. Heat Cycles Heat increases the rate of oxidization, so if your bike lives in a hot garage, or you live in a hot environment, your tire will lose its grip more rapidly because the heat accelerates the rate of decomposition of the rubber. What’s more, every time your tire warms up and cools down, it goes through a heat cycle, which also compromises the grip the tire can provide. When a tire has gone through so many heat cycles that it can no longer provide adequate levels of grip, that tire is “baked-out.” And not all tires deal with heat cycles the same way. A race tire or even a DOT race tire that can withstand extreme heat punishment on the racetrack may only be able to withstand two or three heat cycles before the level of grip is significantly diminished. While a sport touring tire may not be able to withstand the harsh punishment and heat like a race tire can, it can typically survive a lifetime of heat cycles from everyday riding stresses before grip decreases. However, tires intended for cooler, wetter climates are less capable of dealing with too much heat when used in hot, dry climates and may bake out long before the tread is worn away. This is part of the reason racers and track day riders use tire warmers. Not only to keep the tire warm and grippy but to reduce the number of heat cycles that the tire will have to endure. This is also why it’s a good idea to try to replace your tires and sets. Your front tire is going through just as many heat cycles as your rear tire and is baking out at the same rate. We’ve seen a lot of riders who will replace the rear tire, and then a few months later replace the front tire, and then a few months after that, replace the rear tire again. So they are always chasing a new set of tires. And nothing makes your bike handle like new like a fresh set of tires. So, again, if you can swing it, it’s always best to replace your tires as a set. But if you can’t, for whatever reason, then at least stick with matched tires. Knowing how old your tires are, or how many heat cycles they’ve endured, maybe a more significant indication as to how worn your tires are than how much tread remains. -
