Mourner Nantiya Thaiboonrueng, 52, said: "I feel like it was a good chance for me to see him for the final time. I won't ever forget this; I feel like all Thais would feel the same way as me. The king was like a father, it feels like my father has passed away. I can't really explain it. But it is from my heart. Nonethe...
In his own name and that of the Chinese people, President Xi Jinping sent a message of deep condolence to the late king's wife, Queen Sirikit, in which he praised the monarch as a guide of Thailand's development and a promoter of friendship between the two nations. Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli also visited Thailand's embas...
US President Barack Obama extended his condolences to Thailand, calling the late king a "close friend" and partner of America. Obama described the monarch as a "tireless champion" for Thailand's development, praising his "unflagging devotion" to improving the lives of his subjects.
Hong Kong Chief Secretary Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor paid her respects, hailing the king's esteemed position in the hearts and minds of Thais.
Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn is expected to be the new king, but he does not enjoy the same adoration his father earned over a lifetime on the throne.
Prime Minister Prayuth said the country was in immeasurable grief in another televised address last night, after imposing a 30-day ban on festivities. The junta he heads said all TV channels would broadcast documentaries daily on the late king's work until midnight, and then return to their own programming, which had t...
The body of King Bhumibol will lie at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, or Wat Phra Kaew, inside the Grand Palace complex for people to pay their final respects.
No date has been set for the cremation under Buddhist rites. Chanting and prayers for the king will take place every evening at 7pm, the palace said in a statement, without giving further details.
Tourists heading to Thailand are being urged to "dress appropriately" and to expect disruptions to their normal routines, as deep grief takes over the entire country.
The Thai government is urging foreign tourists to "behave" or not travel at all following the king's passing. China has told its citizens to be on their best behaviour, and refund offers are being made by travel agencies for people who want to cancel trips.
Last night Bangkok's famous red light and bar district, Soi Cowboy, was uncharacteristically quiet, with most businesses closed and likely to remain so indefinitely.
German tourist Jurgen Schnell said: "It's a shame I can't enjoy myself but you have to respect the people and the nation of Thailand at this time. I am sure I will find somewhere to drink a quiet beer."
Sean Dyche was proud to accept the LG LMA Performance of the Week Award on behalf of everyone at Burnley Football Club.
The Clarets landed the award for their stunning 1-0 victory over reigning champions Manchester City at Turf Moor.
And having accepted the award from Sky reporter Jonny Phillips - in an interview to be screened on Sky’s Soccer Saturday programme - the Burnley manager said it was also representative of the one-club mentality.
Dyche said: “I mentioned last season with some nice awards that these are things I accept, but I accept them on behalf of my staff, my immediate staff and the staff that work in the offices, as well as the players and fans.
“I think that represents our one-club mentality when people acknowledge the club, and we want more of that, of course.

The White House: Inside Story premiered July 12, 2016.
The White House is one of America’s most iconic buildings; it is a symbol of shared national history and is home to the most powerful person on Earth. Here the president charts the course for the country, and the First Family lives in the spotlight. It's home, office and a museum. It's a bunker in times of war, a backd...
In this two-hour special presentation The White House: Inside Story takes viewers behind the scenes to meet those who keep the house running smoothly, supporting the president and guarding the First Family’s privacy.
We’ll see how the building has evolved over 200 years changing with the currents of history and the tastes of its occupants. At the epicenter of global politics, in the heart of the nation’s capital, the story of the White House is the story of America itself.
We’ll join the chief usher as she oversees butlers, groundskeepers, kitchen staff and florists in preparation for a state dinner. Former staff members reflect on the daily chaos – and the unmatched thrills – of working at the White House.
Curator Bill Allman shares the demands of maintaining a museum that is also a working office and a family home. Historians Doris Kearns Goodwin, William Seale, Hari Jones, Mark Updegrove, Doug Wead and Richard Norton Smith bring the story of “the people's house” alive, recounting events from the days of Washington and ...
First Children Lynda Johnson Robb, Susan Ford Bales and Jenna Bush Hagar, recall what it was like to grow up in the White House. The Carters recount the story of daughter Amy roller-skating through the East Room. Barbara Bush and Michelle Obama share how they managed to make the White House a home for their families.
President Jimmy Carter marvels at the power of the Oval Office and how he used its aura to negotiate with other world leaders, while President Obama invites us in for a moment of reflection as he reads letters from American citizens.
Press Secretary Josh Earnest provides a behind-the-scenes look at how he manages the 24-hour news cycle, and we journey below the familiar press room to the rarely seen White House pool hidden underneath. Veteran journalists Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Bill Plante, Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff, Bob Woodward and Ken Walsh reca...
No day was more challenging than September 11, 2001. Laura Bush and former staff members remember how the White House struggled to remain the nation’s calm center, despite the imminent threat of a terrorist attack.
Through stunning original footage and archival film and photos, some never before seen, the president’s home is opened as never before, revealing moments of majesty and intimacy inside the White House.

More often than not, my clients and athletes wish to obtain every performance attribute all at once. They want endurance, strength, power, hypertrophy and fat loss, simultaneously. Unfortunately, concurrent training does not yield optimal results in each area, unless you are completely novice and or recovering from ser...
Training to squat as much weight as possible whilst concurrently training for a marathon simply doesn’t work. In order to optimize strength, high rates of force development are required as well as greater proportions of Type IIx fibers and higher muscle glycogen stores. These are all blunted when endurance training is ...
In most cases, however, athletes compete in sports that require high levels of fitness using multiple energy systems. More common are general population clients of mine who are seeking to improve overall health and improve incrementally in all areas of fitness. It must be understood that all of the previously mentioned...
I hope what you’ve gained from this article is that fitness attributes are a lot like running a business. You have to decide what it is you’d like to specialize in, and how you will devote your resources to making it happen. In training, you have to also decide what it is you’d like to specialize in, and then make a pl...

A new type of vaccine against grass pollen allergies (BM32) might also offer an effective treatment for combating hepatitis B infection. This is the finding of a study conducted at MedUni Vienna's Institute for Pathophysiology and Allergy Research that has now been published in the leading journal EBioMedicine, with a ...
The BM32 vaccine is based on an innovative recombinant peptide-carrier technology, which - compared with other immunotherapies for allergy sufferers - requires far fewer injections and has fewer side-effects. Recombinant peptide-carrier technology was developed at the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Allergy Research a...
In a Phase IIb study conducted as part of her dissertation at the Institute for Pathophysiology and Allergy Research at MedUni Vienna, Carolin Cornelius discovered that BM32 is also a highly promising treatment option for combating hepatitis B infections.

The lone tusker which was rescued by the Forest Department last week at Kaduhadi in Banavara Reserve Forest near Shanivarasanthe is responding to the treatment.
The 30-year-old male pachyderm had a grievous wound on one of its hind legs and the animal was wailing with pain.
After he was rescued with the help of tamed elephants, a team of veterinary doctors led by Nagarahole Rajiv Gandhi National Sanctuary Veterinary officer Dr Mujid started treating the elephant from April 3.
Though the elephant is responding to the treatment, it is taking longer than expected for the wound to heal. Injections are being administered along with smearing turmeric and neem juice on the wound.
As he is a wild elephant, he has been tied to a tree with a chain and the chain has been irritating the tusker. The animal is still undergoing a lot of pain.
Lots of people are thronging the region to see the elephant, which is making the tusker confused and it is wailing louder when people are around. The villagers feel pity for the poor animal.
However, the veterinarians have continued the use of traditional medicine to heal the wound as there is a good improvement. Worms from the wound have also been removed.
The elephant is able to slowly place its wounded leg on the ground.
Madikeri DCF Manjunath said that there is an improvement from the last two days in the health of the elephant and the treatment will be continued.
this excel viewer 2003 is by far the best one in town. required for viewing (and not editing) large amounts of data, like auto-filtering. this viewer also preserves the formatting and pre-set filtering options that is included in the files sent to them for viewing.
for the most part there are none "except" that it cant open tables that are not saved in the standard .xls format. so providing spreadsheets to people that will rely on the this viewer will need the files sent to them in xls format, which is no big deal.
do not be fooled into downloading other excel viewers, including third party versions and microsofts viewer 2007 version, as they all have been stripped down of many valuable features. get this 2003 version and save it, until microsoft realizes their mistake and re-introduces the simple but valuable features into a new...

Anyone with internet access and a passion for seafood will soon be able to track commercial fishing trawlers all over the world, with a new tool that its developers hope will help end the overfishing that has decimated the world’s fish stocks.
Millions of people depend on fish to survive, and fish will be vital to feeding the world’s growing population that is predicted to reach 9.7 billion people by 2050, the United Nations says.
But overfishing has diminished fish stocks, and illicit fishing is threatening people’s access to food in many poor countries, according to the United Nations.
“We currently have around 450 million people globally who get their primary source of food from the ocean. This is 450 million meals a day under threat,” said Lasse Gustavsson, executive director of Oceana in Europe on Wednesday.
“To solve the overfishing problem, including illegal fishing, we want to create transparency in the oceans,” Gustavsson told the Thomson Reuters Foundation from Madrid.
Oceana, an international conservation organisation, together with Google and SkyTruth, a nonprofit group that uses aerial and satellite images to track changes in the landscape, are due to launch the Global Fishing Tracker within weeks.
The public, non-governmental organisations and local authorities will be able to use it to monitor coastlines and marine conservation areas, follow individual boats in near real-time and track what boats of a particular flag are doing.
It will be especially useful for countries like Madagascar which have few resources to patrol and monitor their own coastlines, Oceana said.
“You can slice that piece of data in many different ways which we think will be helpful when it comes to law enforcement, increasing public understanding, and catching the kind of people who are doing stuff they shouldn’t be doing,” said Gustavsson.
Some 30% of fish stocks were overfished in 2013, up from 10% in 1974. Most of the remaining stocks are fully fished, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said.
At risk are hundreds of millions of people who depend on fisheries to earn a living, for food and nutrition, according to the FAO.
The industry has vessels operating all over the world - some 15,000 European Union-registered fishing boats work off the coast of West Africa for example. Although legal, it is unsustainable, according to Oceana.
Fish stocks will quickly bounce back if areas where fish spawn are protected, if fish stocks are managed scientifically, and if destructive and illegal fishing ended, Gustavsson said.
“If we do all the right things now, in 10 years we will have twice as much fish in the ocean globally,” he said.
An international agreement to curb illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing came into force in June.
The Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing allows a country to block ships it suspects of illicit fishing, stopping their catches from entering local and international markets.
It will be a key driver in the international community’s fight against illicit fishing, FAO said.
