BANGKOK — Long before women became a regular sight in the booth, Nakadia broke into the boys club in Bangkok before migrating to that place all DJs go – Berlin.

But she’s no stranger to her roots and her orbit will bring her fierce mixing and energy back through the kingdom again next month for a series of shows.

Passing through Asia for an international music event in Shanghai, Nakadia will drop some drops at venues in Bangkok and Phuket on a petite tour of the region.

Born in Nakhon Ratchasima, Nakadia rose up through the ranks and went big in 2004 to live the life full-time as one of few globally successful female electronic music DJs at the time.

Get ready freak on with her beats starting at 11pm on Oct. 8 at Live RCA Bangkok on Royal City Avenue. The club can be reached by taxi from MRT Rama 9. Entry is 300 baht.

First Baby Born From 3 Sets of DNA

NEW YORK — Scientists say the first baby has been born from a controversial new technique that combines DNA from three people – the mother, the father and an egg donor.

The goal was to prevent the child from inheriting a fatal genetic disease from his mother, who had previously lost two children to the illness.

The birth of the boy is revealed in a research summary published by the journal Fertility & Sterility. Scientists are scheduled to present details at a meeting next month in Salt Lake City.

The magazine New Scientist, which first reported the birth, said the baby was born five months ago to Jordanian parents, and that they were treated in Mexico by a team led by Dr. John Zhang of the New Hope Fertility Center in New York. It’s not clear where the child was born.

The technique is not approved in the United States, but Zhang told the magazine, “To save lives is the ethical thing to do.”

A spokesman for the fertility center said Zhang was not available for further comment on Tuesday. Others involved in the research referred questions to Zhang.

The mother carries DNA that could have given her child Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that usually kills within a few years of birth. Her two previous children died of the disease at 8 months and 6 years, the research summary said.

The technique involved removing some of the mother’s DNA from an egg, and leaving the disease-causing DNA behind. The healthy DNA was slipped into a donor’s egg, which was then fertilized. As a result, the baby inherited DNA from both parents and the egg donor.

The technique is sometimes said to produce “three-parent babies,” but the DNA contribution from the egg donor is very small.

People carry DNA in two places, the nucleus of the cell and in features called mitochondria, which lie outside the nucleus. The technique is designed to transfer only DNA of the nucleus to the donor egg, separating it from the mother’s disease-causing mitochondrial DNA.

The research summary identified the mother as a 36-year-old woman and said her pregnancy was uneventful. One of the five eggs the researchers treated was suitable for use.

Critics question the technique’s safety, saying children would have to be tracked for decades to make sure they remain healthy. And they say it passes a fundamental scientific boundary by altering the DNA inherited by future generations. Mitochondrial DNA is passed from women to their offspring.

Still, last year, Britain became the first country in the world to allow creation of human embryos with the technique. In the U.S., a panel of government advisers said earlier this year that it’s ethical to test the approach in people if initial experiments follow certain strict safety steps.

That report was requested by the Food and Drug Administration, which is currently prevented by Congress from considering applications to approve testing the technique in people.

Shroukhrat Mitalipov, who has worked with the approach at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, said that given the panel’s conclusion, “We believe it’s time to move forward with FDA-approved clinical trials in the United States.”

Henry Greely, who directs the Center for Law and the Biosciences at Stanford University, said Tuesday he sees nothing wrong with using the technique if it is safe and is aimed at diseases clearly caused by faulty mitochondrial DNA.

But he called the research leading to the newly reported birth “unethical, unwise, immoral.” He said the approach “hasn’t been sufficiently proven safe enough to try to use to make a baby.”

Dieter Egli of the New York Stem Cell Foundation, who has done work in the area, was cautious about the implications of the new report.

“I wouldn’t go out there at this point and tout the accomplishment because we don’t have enough information,” he said Tuesday. “We do not know exactly what was done.”

“We have to wait” for a fuller report, he said.

The child is not the first to inherit DNA from three people. In the 1990s, some children were born after researchers used a different technique. But federal regulators intervened, and the field’s interest now has passed to the new approach.

Shimon Peres, Former Israeli President, 93

JERUSALEM — Shimon Peres, a former Israeli president and prime minister, whose life story mirrored that of the Jewish state and who was celebrated around the world as a Nobel prize-winning visionary who pushed his country toward peace, has died, the Israeli news website YNet reported early Wednesday. He was 93.

Peres’ condition worsened following a major stroke two weeks ago.

In an unprecedented seven-decade political career, Peres filled nearly every position in Israeli public life and was credited with leading the country through some of its most defining moments, from creating its nuclear arsenal in the 1950s, to disentangling its troops from Lebanon and rescuing its economy from triple-digit inflation in the 1980s, to guiding a skeptical nation into peace talks with the Palestinians in the 1990s.

A protege of Israel’s founding father David Ben-Gurion, he led the Defense Ministry in his 20s and spearheaded the development of Israel’s nuclear program. He was first elected to parliament in 1959 and later held every major Cabinet post — including defense, finance and foreign affairs — and served three brief stints as prime minister. His key role in the first Israeli-Palestinian peace accord earned him a Nobel Peace Prize and revered status as Israel’s then most recognizable figure abroad.

And yet, for much of his political career he could not parlay his international prestige into success in Israeli politics, where he was branded by many as both a utopian dreamer and political schemer. His well-tailored, necktied appearance and swept-back gray hair seemed to separate him from his more informal countrymen. He suffered a string of electoral defeats: competing in five general elections seeking the prime minister’s spot, he lost four and tied one.

He finally secured the public adoration that had long eluded him when he has chosen by parliament to a seven-year term as Israel’s ceremonial president in 2007, taking the role of elder statesman.

Peres was celebrated by doves and vilified by hawks for advocating far-reaching Israeli compromises for peace even before he negotiated the first interim accord with the Palestinians in 1993 that set into motion a partition plan that gave them limited self-rule. That was followed by a peace accord with neighboring Jordan. But after a fateful six-month period in 1995-96 that included Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination, a spate of Palestinian suicide bombings and Peres’ own election loss to the more conservative Benjamin Netanyahu, the prospects for peace began to evaporate.

Relegated to the political wilderness, he created his non-governmental Peres Center for Peace that raised funds for cooperation and development projects involving Israel, the Palestinians and Arab nations. He returned to it at age 91 when he completed his term as president.

Shimon Perski was born on Aug. 2, 1923, in Vishneva, then part of Poland. He moved to pre-state Palestine in 1934 with his immediate family. Her grandfather and other relatives stayed behind and perished in the Holocaust. Rising quickly through Labor Party ranks, he became a top aide to Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister and a man Peres once called “the greatest Jew of our time.”

At 29, he was the youngest person to serve as director of Israel’s Defense Ministry, and is credited with arming Israel’s military almost from scratch. Yet throughout his political career, he suffered from the fact that he never wore an army uniform or fought in a war.

Of his 10 books, several amplified his vision of a “new Middle East” where there was peaceful economic and cultural cooperation among all the nations of the region.

Despite continued waves of violence that pushed the Israeli political map to the right, the concept of a Palestinian state next to Israel became mainstream Israeli policy many years after Peres advocated it.

Shunted aside during the 1999 election campaign, won by party colleague Ehud Barak, Peres rejected advice to retire, assuming the newly created and loosely defined Cabinet post of Minister for Regional Cooperation.

In 2000, Peres absorbed another resounding political slap, losing an election in the parliament for the largely ceremonial post of president to Likud Party backbencher Moshe Katsav, who was later convicted and imprisoned for rape.

Even so, Peres refused to quit. In 2001, at age 77, he took the post of foreign minister in the government of national unity set up by Ariel Sharon, serving for 20 months before Labor withdrew from the coalition.

Then he followed Sharon into a new party, Kadima, serving as vice-premier under Sharon and his successor, Ehud Olmert, before assuming the presidency.

Thailand’s New Online Fad: Social Surveillance

By

Todd Ruiz, Editor

27 September 2016, 19:06

Police display alleged social media connections they said linked Chayapha Chokepornboonsri, 49, to rumors about a counter-coup in Thailand on June 24, 2015.

BANGKOK — She worked at a hotel and said she’d never heard of the lese majeste law before police arrested her. When they told her the quickest way back to her young daughters was confessing to being Facebook user Rungnapha Khamwichai, she did so, without ever speaking to a lawyer.

That was two years ago. For her confession, the military judges who convicted the single mom, identified only as Sasivimol, halved her sentence to 28 years for Facebook messages she says she didn’t write. Her older daughter will be nearly 40 by the time she is released in 2042.

Yet it wasn’t sophisticated government snooping or intrusive software that led to Sasivimol’s arrest, but rather a group of private citizens who saw the messages online and reported them for insulting the monarchy.

It’s part of a trend in which people are under watch by their own peers – possibly even friends and family – on social media. A recent report one year in the making by a London-based nonprofit found that Thailand’s constitutional guarantees of privacy are threatened by so-called social surveillance, a practice encouraged through direct and indirect measures by the military regime.

“Social surveillance is a government relying on your friends, family and loved ones to spy on you,” report author Eva Blum-Dumontet of Privacy International said.

Blum-Dumontet said it’s serious enough that regular citizens need to rethink their online habits.

“They have to be aware they can be arrested any day,” she said in a recent interview. “People have to realize the situation in Thailand has changed in terms of the amount of arrests and the violence of the government against its own people.”

Government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said although he hadn’t seen the report, the government needed updated tools to combat new threats such as drugs, human trafficking and the spread of false information.

“Government officers need to surveil and spread correct information in order to protect people from being victims of false information,” he said. “We want it to be the duty of every Thai to help do the same.”

He objected to the notion it was encouraging people to spy on each other.

“I don’t want to use the word ‘spy,’ I don’t want you to look at it in a pessimistic way,” the major general said. “If somebody spreads distorted information which can harm society in the future, then we have to help notify the relevant government agencies.”

He also disputed the government crossed any legal lines or infringed on privacy.

“There is a law, and the authorities can only inspect [communications] with a court warrant. If somebody posts pornograhic photos or photos that defame the nation, religion or the monarchy and we help prevent the damage, this is not called infringement.”

When she began researching the topic, Blum-Dumontet said she first looked into whether the state had deployed direct measures, such as Italian-made intrusion software acquired by police and the military as disclosed last year by Wikileaks.

“My first instinct was to see what they were using,” she said

As she interviewed people for her research, some told her the more one looks for sophisticated measures employed by the state, “the more wrong you will be.”

The report, published one week ago, relies on interviews, media accounts and information from the Internet Law Reform Dialogue, or iLaw, to recount several cases in which social surveillance was used to prosecute civilians. Most cases involved charges of royal defamation, a criminal offense under Article 112 of the criminal code known as lese majeste.

One recounts the case of Pongsak Sriboonpeng, a Redshirt supporter who struck up an online friendship with a man who shared similar views and even sent him a phone to use. When he went to meet the man, Pongsak was arrested and learned his “friend” was a cop. In September 2015, Pongsak was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

The report also details regime efforts to encourage social surveillance by offering cash bounties for reporting online dissidents and organizing cadres of student “Cyber Scouts” to police the internet.

It also faults the military government for “stoking existing tensions” and grievances to cultivate a climate of fear.

“By condemning as lese-majeste a wide range of dissenting opinion, the Thai government has been instigating a climate of fear that has affected the right to privacy of citizens,” the report said. “Individuals have been arrested for expressing their opinions on social media, a personal space many expect to be safe from government interference.”

Sansern said the matter of royal defamation was a special case.

“If you see somebody post a photo that steps right on every Thai heart, what are you going to do?” he said.

In its report, Privacy called on Thai authorities to dismantle the Cyber Scouts program, discourage online informants and condemn the release of personal information to attack someone online.

While social surveillance may be unsophisticated, Blum-Dumontet said trampling of internet freedoms and privacy are within reach of the government through its control of the national telecommunications infrastructure – and its telecoms. She said she is working on another report looking at “surveillance on the cheap” through control of ISPs and telecoms which aren’t independent.

Though fear of social surveillance may have a chilling effect on expression, Blum-Dumontet said people need to be pragmatic and take it seriously.

“There has to be a point where you realize you are confronting a government that is not allowing you to express yourself, and people need to be extremely careful now in how they do things and use secure platforms,” she said.

Privacy International is based in London. It’s work in Thailand was supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and began prior to the coup with the intention of making policy recommendations to the civilian government.

“At the time, it felt like a country where we could potentially have an impact on policy,” Eva-Dumontet said of the project’s inception.

Hmong Parents Protest Children’s Conviction by Reddit

CHIANG MAI — After a photo spread the world over of their children “stealing” a tourist’s watch, two parents of the two Hmong children insisted to police Tuesday it was simply not true.

The photo of the foreign woman posing with two girls in Hmong ethnic garb in front at Chiang Mai’s most famous temple shot to the front page of Reddit after it was posted Sunday under the caption “Girlfriend in the progress of having her watch stolen.”

The image, in which one of the children’s fingers touch the strap of her wristwatch was taken as certain proof by most of thousands of commentators who upvoted it more than 6,000 times and in news stories it spawned around the world, which took at face value it captured a crime in commission.

Phujarat Jiraphakorn and Lulu Laowa today brought their two daughters, 7 and 10, who appeared in the photo, to answer questions after they were summoned by police.

Anek Chaiwong of Phuping police said the parents were incensed and would have pressed charges for making a false accusation, were the foreign couple still in Thailand.

“The farang did not file any complaint to us,” Lt. Col. Anek said. “The parents of the kids are very concerned and said they would have filed a complaint against the false accusation were the farang still here in Thailand.”

In comments to the image posted to r/MildlyInteresting, MedardBoss, the original poster, implied the watch was later found missing among a few other disclosures.

“She was a bit drunk tbh,” he wrote. The account has since been deleted.

The Hmong family meets with Phuping police Tuesday in Chiang Mai.

But the couple said they interrogated the girls, who denied any wrongdoing. They said they take them to every weekend to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep to make some money posing for photos with tourists for which they accept voluntary donations.

“They never beg for money,” Lulu said. “It always depends on how much the tourists want to give them.”

The Hmong mother said she didn’t see how it was possible for her daughter to steal a watch from someone’s wrist without them noticing.

Their village headman also accompanied them to the police station Tuesday to vouch for the family’s clean record. Methaphan Fuengfukitchakarn said they are well known and liked, and said accusing the children on the basis on one photo was not fair to them.

Yet a number of users were less persuaded, leaving comments certain the girls were engaged in criminal subterfuge.

“I’ve lived in Chiang Mai for almost seven years. Those kids aren’t good; they’re expert. That watch is long gone,” Reddit user Oh_dear_ wrote.

Chiang Mai police aren’t convinced, saying they’ve never known children at the temple to be criminal elements.

“We are deeply concerned,” Anek said. “There has been no such incident like this before.”

Clarification: Due to an editing error, an earlier version of this story indicated police knew children at the temple to be criminal elements, when in fact they said never knew them to be so.

Tourists Ignore Red Flags, Lifeguards Keep Saving Them – Thanks Optional

PHUKET — As a Phuket lifeguard of 16 years, Utane Singsom estimates that he and his team pull about 10 people out of the water on days no one should be swimming.

On Sunday, as he has done many times, Utane leapt into the rough seas to rescue yet another tourist who ignored the red flags and was dragged out into the Andaman Sea.

“Usually, farangs heed the signs, but Russian and Chinese tourists can be quite stubborn,” said Utane, 41.

The head of the lifeguard detail for Kata-Karon Beach described a Chinese man he and his team rescued from the waves Sunday at Kata Beach.

“There was a monsoon that day, so we put up red flags and signs in seven languages, including Chinese, to tell people not to swim,” the head lifeguard said.

Still, the Chinese national was swept out by the waves, churning under the monsoon conditions. For Utane and his team’s trouble, the man they brought to safety quickly grabbed his clothes and scampered off without a word of thanks.

“Sometimes people don’t thank us, or even berate us, because they’re afraid they’re going to get punished for doing something wrong,” he said.

The lifeguard captain said that on Kata Beach alone, his team have rescued up to 10 people per day since the rainy season started about four months ago. On some days, the waves can be really strong, and there are potentially fatal jellyfish in the water, so visitors really should heed the “no swimming” signs and warning flags.

He encourages swimmers to look for the yellow-and-red flags which mean an area is safe to swim in.

Suspected Forgers’ Frozen Body Thought to be Older Western Man

Police search the shophouse on Bangkok’s Soi Sukhumvit 56 Tuesday where the dismembered body was found inside a cold storage.

BANGKOK — Two of three foreigners arrested Friday for concealing a corpse and forging passports were identified by police Tuesday as U.S. nationals.

The U.S. embassy confirmed two suspects who held American passports, 33-year-old Aaron Gabel and 66-year-old James Eger, were both U.S. citizens, according to Maj. Gen. Suwat Chaengyotsuk.

“It was reported Gabel’s relatives tried to seek bail,” he said. “The decision is up to the court, but police will oppose it anyway.”

The pair were among three suspects arrested Friday when officers stormed a building in Soi Sukhumvit 56 in a raid on a suspected passport forgery ring run by foreign nationals.

During the confrontation, the third suspect, whose name is William Peter Johnson in his American passport and Peter Andrew Colter in his British passport, shot a tourist police officer. He had a total of seven passports and police said they still cannot confirm his identity.

The raid also led to the discovery of a man’s frozen and dismembered body in a cold storage box inside the same building.

According to forensic examination, the body was that of a middle-aged Caucasian man. Udomsak Hoonwichit of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital told INN news on Monday that an electric saw was likely used to cut the body into pieces.

Johnson/Colter, who is being treated at Police General Hospital after trying to harm himself during interrogation, told officers he had nothing to do with the body. He said the storage belonged to a friend who used to live on Soi Ekkamai 12.

Police went to search that address and a neighbor told them it was Johnson/Colter who had lived there until he cleared out with the large freezer.

Surin Leuaye, who lived next door, said the suspected cop-shooter lived there over seven years. For the past five years, he often had foreign visitors to his residence.

Building — A building in Soi Sukhumvit 56 where the three suspects were arrested and the dismembered body was found Friday.

The 65-year-old neighbor said about five months ago his family heard a man screaming from Johnson/Colter’s place at about 10pm. But the voice went silent just as his son was going to check. He said Johnson/Colter moved out of the house a month later and took the giant refrigerator with him.

An officer points at the false-alarm coconut Tuesday in Pattani province.

PATTANI — A bomb team sent to dispatch a suspicious bag left in front of a school in Pattani on Tuesday morning found a bag of sand with a coconut inside.

At 7:30am the director of Bantaladnadklongkul School alerted Special Unit Pattani officers to the presence of a suspicious black bag left in front of the school, which officials proceeded to poke with a long stick, finding inside sand and a half-kilogram coconut.

Though officers said the false alarm was likely the work of a prankster, security forces in the Deep South have been on alert for bombs in different forms, including ones placed within coconuts.

On Sept. 6, a 4-year-old kindergarten student and her father were killed when a rigged motorcycle exploded in front of her school in Narathiwat province.

Peter Gowan, 76, fixes a Buriram road Sunday.

BURIRAM — Things were moving a little smoother in Buriram today thanks to a 76-year-old German man who showed his civic pride by joining volunteers for some road repair.

With perilous potholes a national topic since a Tak woman found a creative way to call attention to the issue,a 51-year-old Buriram woman said Tuesday that she and her husband, retired German national Peter Goman, filled potholes along Nong Hong Road in the province’s Nong Hong district to improve road safety.

Kusuma Namwon, who works at the local hospital’s Friends Help Friends volunteer organization, said her husband keeps active by accompanying her on activities and also volunteers as a swimming teacher.

Kusuma said the junction there was filled with so many potholes neighboring residents feared a serious accident would happen.

“We like to go buy soy milk and pa tong go [fried dough sticks] at the house there,” Kusuma said Tuesday. “The lady would always tell me about the potholes there and how 10-wheeler trucks and other big cars would drive fast at night, unable to see the holes.”

Potholes have been a trending topic since Friday when Tak’s Aticha “Palmy” Kusoltrakulpattana Tak won vows of action from authorities by doffing her clothes to bathe in large road depressions in her hometown.

Others have gotten into the act, including a group of women Monday in Khon Kaen province who hoped to win the same response from the authorities.

Gowan and the local volunteer group fixing potholes Sunday.

Kusuma said those in her district were large enough to take down bike riders.

“Motorcyclists would occasionally fall into the holes, and the people in the houses would rush to them.” The potholes became such a big issue that she persuaded her volunteer group to take action.

Goman, her husband, volunteered to help her with the road work, paying for the construction along with two other villagers who scraped together 120 baht to help.

“His work was really neat,” said his wife. “Back in Germany, he worked as an engineer.”

Locals in Khon Kaen bathe in potholes to protest for better roads.

Netizens have been praising the farang and his wife for their altruistic work after Kusuma posted a Facebook video of Gowan fixing potholes on Sunday afternoon.
