Applying for a DTV (soft power) with Thai language classes possible?
I have a (muay thai) DTV appointment at Savannakhet coming up shortly. I have had good experiences with marriage non-o visas there in the past without the 500 ppl long queues mentioned in the reviews online. I also heard a report of a DTV refusal there today but it is not my place to elaborate on that persons behalf. Regardless of everything it is going to be a long, boring and expensive pain in the butt trip. I will update my experience in the main DTV thread here whether good or bad. -

Global P/E Ratios.
There isn't any Taiwan question. War over Taiwan would mean the collapse of the global semiconductor industry and, in turn, the collapse of the global economy. It's never gonna happen. (let's not forget that both the US and China have nuclear weapons) -

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
That isn't quite true,..however..The annual uprating of pensions is not set in law, its policy review. Policy that's been there 80 years, in all that time nobody has been prosecuted for receiving unfrozen pension in frozen land, and never will. Receive pension thru IPC ,yes frozen, opt for pension to be paid into Wise, no freezing, good % too 4.3 I think ,set up DD or SO paid automatically into wherever, no illegalities there -

Top 10 Supplements for Older Men: Boosting Vitality, Strength, and Well-Being
Beware of Google search results. They changed their algorythms some years ago to produce information biassed towards 'orthodoxy'. Try searching on a site such as https://greenmedinfo.com/ for natural therapies based upon peer-reviewed scientific research. (Although I am a bit wary of them recently promoting specific commercial products; and the results of much "scientific research" has recently been shown to be impossible to replicate!) In the short term the body is highly adept at self-regulating imbalances. It is long term imbalances that can be highly detrimental, especially in certain cases, such as excess iron (too often included in "multivitamin" supplements. RDAs can be deceptive, like the norms for such things as haematocyte and leucocyte counts. With the steady deterioration of the health of populations (reflected in increasing rates of degeneracy diseases) norms are lowered to reflect population averages. So they say. Things like this give me cause for doubt: what is the RDA for boron? Apparently zero. Could be correct, but I doubt it. Plants do not grow well if deficient in boron which must be added to certain soils. Moreover one can ingest sufficient trace elements, either in diet or in supplements, without them being either absorbed or correctly utilised. Various reasons for this. Such as uptake sites on cell walls being squatted by heavy metal molecules. E.g. if you have mercury toxicity (originating, inter alia, from amalgam dental fillings) you may suffer from hypothyroidism from lack of iodine. Irrespective of how much you ingest. It is correct that modern diets and farming methods have resulted in many people being deficient in magnesium, needed to balance calcium. But too many people these days do not get enough sunshine to produce the required amounts of vitamin D to utilise adequate calcium + magnesium. They must either expose themselves more to the sun or take vitamin D supplements (preferably D3). And then again, to ensure that the calcium is deposited correcly in the bones they must not have high lead levels (lead displaces calcium). And to make sure it goes to the bones and is not deposited in the arteries the vitamin D needs to be accompanied by K2. And one has not yet touched upon the complex question of preserving - or more likely restoring (in these days of antibiotics and food preservatives) - a healthy microbiome. "Death begins in the gut." Of course it is best to live one's full lifespan upon a truly healthy natural diet and never deviate from it. But sometimes people need to correct imbalances. We do not live in a perfect world.
