Southern Thailand was hit Thursday by the most severe haze from forest fires in Indonesia, forcing all schools in a province to close and disrupting fights in a popular tourist area, officially said
The haze that has shrouded parts of Malaysia and Singapore for nearly two months reached hazardous levels in the southern Thai city of Songkhla, with the pollution index hitting a record-high reading of 365
A reading of 101-200 is unhealthy, 201-300 is very unhealthy and above 300 is hazardous
“This is a crisis,” said Halem Jemarican, head of the Southern Environment Office He said the pollution index in southern Thailand has never exceeded 300 before
Halem said his office has worked with other authorities to have all schools in Songkhla province send students home and all outdoor sports stadiums to close temporarily Warnings have been issued to
vulnerable people such as children, the elderly and people with illnesses not to go out of their homes
“The wind speed is very low this year in the south, causing haze to stay in our skies longer,” Halem said
by telephone
An airport official in Hat Yai, a popular tourist area, said three flights bound for Bangkok were delayed Thursday morning because of the haze A flight from Bangkok to Hat Yai was diverted to Surat Thani on Wednesday evening The official declined to be identified because of working rules
Local media reported that cloud seeding has been discussed as a way to dispel the haze in southern Thailand, which is hundreds of kilometers (miles) from the forest fires in Indonesia's Sumatra island Southern Thailand boasts tropical beaches popular among tourists in Surat Thani and Phuket, two of the seven provinces suffering from the haze

Homeopathy, the alternative therapy created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, and now widely used all over the world, is based on the belief that the body can be stimulated to heal itself A central principle
of the “treatment” is that “like cures like”, meaning a substance that causes certain symptoms can also help to remove those symptoms Medicines used in homeopathy are created by heavily diluting in water the substance in question and subsequently shaking the liquid vigorously They can then be made into tablets and pills Practitioners believe that the more a substance is diluted in this way, the greater its power
to treat symptoms
However, in a new study, a working committee of medical experts at Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has claimed that homeopathic medicines are only as effective
as placebos at treating illness Their research, involving the analysis of numerous reports from
homeopathy interest groups and the public, concluded that there is no reliable evidence that homeopathy works Moreover, researchers uncovered no fewer than 68 ailments that homeopathic remedies had failed
to treat, including asthma, sleep disturbances, cold and flu, and arthritis
As a result of the findings, the NHMRC is urging health workers to inform their patients to be wary of
anecdotal evidence that appears to support the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine “It isn’t possible
to tell whether a health treatment is effective or not simply by considering the experience of one individual
or the beliefs of a health practitioner,” says the report Experts believe that most illnesses said to have been cured by homeopathy would be cured by the body on its own without taking the medicine Apparently, many illnesses are short-lived by their very nature which often leads to people believing that
it is the homeopathy that cures them
A more serious matter is highlighted by Professor John Dwyer of the University of New South Wales
As an immunologist, he is concerned about homeopathic vaccinations on offer for diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, none of which he considers effective According to Professor John Dwyer, the
concept that homeopathic vaccinations are just as good as traditional vaccinations in delusion, and those
who believe it are failing to protect themselves and their children

As customers choose brands based on how they make them feel, rather than their actual products or
services, there is an intrinsic advantage to those organizations who use designed experiences as a weapon
to cut through the most competitive of markets Those that don’t, operate in what we call the “experience gap”, the space between them and their customer’s expectation of them Make no mistake, in our high paced and digitally connected economies, the experience gap is driving markets, fast
experience that did not exist before the evolution of digital technologies enabled that They were pioneers, and there were no established players to unseat But we are also seeing a similar dynamic in existing industries New entrants are coming in and taking the space, also using whole new experiences, purely because the incumbents left the door open
experience than the incumbents Robert Bell is the CEO at neobank 86400 He says banking has already become quite complicated and he wanted to make a change His neobank is working to solve customers problems more holistically Bell said, “It’s significantly harder work and takes more time to become a bank, but having done that we can have a much better relationship with our customers and we can offer them a lot more products and services.”
which is then the stepping stone for more offerings? Many brands still jump straight to modified
offerings, without gaining that customer connection and the necessary foundation of trust first

Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of 18
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal Girls from the wealthiest
families marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who
drop out of school and earn little money
Food insecurity plays an important role too Nepalese families that do not have enough food to eat
are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden One study shows
that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19
Dowry is also common practice in many communities Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine
of up to 10,000 rupees (£102) But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed
