Change Is In The Hair: Thai Royalist Turns Rebel

By Jiraporn Kuhakan BANGKOK, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Mitree Chitinunda was such a devoted Thai royalist that he had the king's portrait cut into his hair last year, but politics like fashion and hairstyles is changing in Thailand. Mitree latest hairstyle shows the "Hunger Games" salute of the pro-democracy protesters who are demanding reforms to curb the power of King Maha Vajiralongkorn in addition to a new prime minister and new constitution. "I support all of the three demands," said Mitree, 48, who regularly joins the protests. "The protests happened because people had enough," he told Reuters. "If we don't get real democracy, we will not stop and I will continue to support and come to protest." Mitree's change of heart reflects the dramatic transformation in a country where reverence for the monarch is obligatory under the constitution, but tens of thousands of people have joined protests to demand royal reforms. The government and royalist groups say loyalists remain in the majority, but there are no [http://www.caringbridge.org/search?q=accurate%20opinion accurate opinion] polls and protests that began in July have shown the strength of demands for change. At first youth protests sought only to remove Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former junta leader, but then broke taboos by calling for changes to the palace. Protesters say they do not seek to end the monarchy, but to make the king accountable under the constitution, to reverse moves that gave the king greater powers and to reduce palace spending. "The king is spending people's tax in the wrong way. That's why we need to reform the monarchy, but it doesn't mean getting rid of the institution because we all love the king," Mitree said. Asked about the protesters recently, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour đi thái lan] the king said they were loved "all the same". The palace itself has made no comment. Mitree, a radiologist, had been a passionate royalist for decades, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan] growing up in a country where the monarchy is promoted from schools to television to the giant portraits on streets. But he said his mind was changed when he found out more. "I have received a lot of information via the internet, television or YouTube channels and weighed whether it's true and it turns out it's true," he said. Warong Dechgitvigrom, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] leader of royalist group "Thai Pakdee" said some people were being misled by social media, but he believes most Thais support the monarchy. "I'm not worried about people who are changing sides that much because I believe 80-90% of information on social media is fake," he said. Mitree is known for his novelty haircuts, which he says help to put patients at ease. The three-fingered salute of the protesters is on the back of his head while a peace symbol is on the left and dove on the right. "I have to be a bit more careful wherever I'm going because some ultra-royalist people are ignorant, they don't accept the truth," he said. (Editing by Matthew Tostevin; Editing by Michael Perry)

It was only 12 day earlier, on January 8, that the World Health Organization (WHO) said the bizarre pneumonia sickening people in China was likely caused by an altogether new virus. Chinese authorities have notified the WHO of a cluster of unexplained illnesses on December 31. The virus was isolated and its genetic makeup was sequence by January 7. At that time, both the Chinese government and the WHO were urging calm, insisting that the virus was only spreading from people who had symptoms and did not pose a major threat to people outside China's Hubei Province. Even the first case identified in the U.S. - in a Washington state man who had recently returned from China - was not an indication that coronavirus was going to take hold in the U.S., officials said at the time. We now know that it already was taking hold. Previous genetic sequencing studies have shown that coronavirus was likely already on both coasts of the U.S. by mid- to late-January, starting to circulate in broader communities in February. But testing of blood donated to the Red Cross confirms what the studies of coronavirus genomes suggested: COVID-19 was here, long before Americans knew it. The new study, published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, tested samples from 7,389 blood donations for antibodies to the virus. Antibodies were present in 106 - 1.4 percent - of the donations collected between mid-December and mid-January. The use of antibodies to assess how prevalent the virus is has been questioned. Antibodies fade over time, with some studies suggesting that they become undetectable within two or three months of infection. There is also the possibility that blood could react to testing if someone had antibodies to one of the hundreds of other types of coronaviruses in the environment. But 90 of the Red Cross samples were tested for antibodies very specific to SARS-CoV-2 - immune proteins that the scientists had made sure were not [http://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=cross-reactive cross-reactive] with test for other coronaviruses. Of the 90, 84 samples were positive for these very specific antibodies.

So not only was coronaviru already on the West Coast before the first U.S. case was confirmed there, it was already in states on the other side of the country before the Washington patient was identified.

2021 Triumph Trident Looks Like The Ticket For Triple Lovers On A Budget - Roadshow

Triumph A three-cylinder motorcycle is a special and generally uncommon thing. It offers the benefits of both a twin and an inline-four but has a sound and character all its own. This is especially true of the legendary [/tags/triumph/ Triumph] triples. We at Roadshow are fans of the format too -- [ my first bike was a Tiger 800], and Tim Stevens has had a long-term love affair with his [http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/Speed%20Triple.html Speed Triple]. The problem, though, historically, has been that if you wanted to live the triple life, you had to lay out a fair chunk of change to do so, but that seems to be changing. Enter the Triumph Trident. For more like this Subscribe to the Roadshow newsletter, receive notifications and see related stories on CNET. The 2021 Triumph Trident takes the name of the brand's first three-cylinder model and repurposes it for what will be not only its most affordable bike but also its most beginner-friendly triple ever. The Trident is interesting because it gets its own bespoke 660-cc engine that shares architecture with the brand's other offerings, but features 67 unique parts not shared with any other model. This power plant offers up a respectable but not [http://www.broowaha.com/search/intimidating intimidating] 80 horsepower and 47 pound-feet of torque. The bike's ultraflat torque curve should go a long way towards making the Trident easy and fun to ride. The Trident gets a six-speed gearbox with a slip-assist clutch. It has a nonadjustable Showa front suspension and a rear shock that's adjustable for preload, which, while basic, should do the job just fine. There are dual brake calipers up front from Nissin, and while they aren't overly flashy, they should work perfectly well on a bike that only weighs 415 pounds wet. With its bulldog stance and low-slung exhaust, nothing about the Trident's looks says "entry-level." Triumph Being a modern Triumph, there are plenty of rider aids to make the bike even more new-rider-friendly. There's ABS and traction control, though the motorcycle lacks an inertial measurement unit, or IMU, so it's not technically "lean-sensitive." That shouldn't be too big a deal since Triumph calibrates its systems to work at full lean and then works back from there. The Trident gets a single digital gauge pod with a black and white tach, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour đi thái lan] speed and gear indicator on the top half and a small, full-color TFT screen in the bottom that can be used to change settings, display music and phone information, or even show turn-by-turn directions. It's a neat piece of packaging, and it's nice to see on a bike at the bottom of the range. So, all that sounds good, right? The elephant in the room remains the price, but Triumph seems to have nailed this too. The 2021 Trident is set to go on sale in January for $7,995. For some perspective, that's cheaper than [/roadshow/news/2020-honda-cb650r-first-ride-review/ Honda's CB650R], and only a few hundred dollars more than both the [ Yamaha MT-07] and [ Kawasaki Z650]. With pricing like this, it's hard to see the Trident as anything but a serious statement of intent and a shot across the bow of the Japanese brands that have historically controlled the bottom end of the market. Now, unsurprisingly, at this price, the Trident won't be built in the UK. Instead, it will be produced at Triumph's wholly owned factory in Thailand, but that's no bad thing. The overall quality of the machines built there is high, as with all modern Triumphs. The Trident is set to hit dealers in the US towards the end of January 2021, and we're already looking forward to getting some quality seat time on what could be one of the most exciting beginner-friendly [/roadshow/motorcycles/ motorcycles] to come out in a while.
