LONDON: Brexit, to #Regrexit - an
online petition demanding a second
referendum on Britain's decision to
leave the EU, that had Former London
Mayor Boris Johnson as its leader, had
passed 3 million signatures. At the time
of going to press, 3,048,000 people
had signed the petition on the official
UK Parliament website. That number
takes it well over the 100,000-signature
threshold needed to force a debate on
the issue by members of Parliament.
A rush to sign the petition caused
the website to crash temporarily due
to the high volume of traffic Sunday.
The petition, set up by William Oliver
Healey, states: "We the undersigned call
upon the Government to implement a
rule that if the Remain or Leave vote
is less than 60%, based on a turnout
less than 75%, there should be another
referendum." Thursday's referendum
had a turnout of 72% - an increase over
last year's general election turnout of
66%, but below the 75% suggested in
the petition. The "Leave" campaign
won with 17,410,74 votes - 52% - to the
"Remain" team's 16,141,241, or 48%.
Voters who had backed the "Leave"
campaign took to Twitter to register
their regret - adopting the #Regrexit
hashtag. One voter, Adam from
Manchester, wrote: "I didn't think
my vote was going to matter too
much because I thought we were just
going to remain. The David Cameron
resignation has blown me away. I think
the period of uncertainty we're going
to have for the next few months is
massively worrying for all."
Another "Leave" voter, Mandy from
Romford, said she would change her
vote if she could. "This morning the
reality is actually hitting in and the
regret is hitting in," she said Sunday.
"I wish I had the opportunity to vote
again, simply because I would do
things differently."

has a sweet taste similar to a Riesling

it gets its distinctive hue from two
dyes:“anthocyanin (a pigment found
in grape skin) and indigo (a dye
extracted from the Isatis tinctoria
plant).” Eater suggests pairing
the wine with “sushi, nachos with
guacamole, pasta carbonara, and

Two men have been arrested over the weekend
in Belgium amid reports of a planned attack on
a Euro 2016 fan zone. "One man was arrested
in Verviers and another man in Tournai," close
to the French border, a spokesman for the
federal prosecutor's office said. "It is too soon
to talk about a terror attack. The two men have
to be questioned first," he added. It comes 10
days after police received an anti-terror alert
warning that a group of Islamic State fighters
recently left Syria en route to Europe planning
attacks in Belgium and France. Last week,
Belgium charged three men with "attempted
terrorist murder" after massive anti-terror
raids linked to a reported threat to fans during
a Euro 2016 football game. Prosecutors said
at the time that they were responding to a need
for "an immediate intervention". Belgium police
killed two IS jihadis in a raid in Verviers in January
2015 who were later found to be linked to the cells
involved in both the Brussels and Paris attacks.

he viewed the in-air infraction as a

carried out an apparently successful
test of its Musudan medium-range
missile. The North Korean leader,
who personally monitored Thursday’s
missile tests, described the launch as
a “great event” that vastly improved
the North’s pre-emptive nuclear attack
capability, according to the official
KCNA news agency. Five previous
Musudan tests ended in failure. But
the second of two Musudans fired
on Thursday flew 250 miles (400km)
- equivalent to half the distance to
Japan’s main island of Honshu - before
coming down in the Sea of Japan.

> All eyes are on Brazil ahead of the Olympic's August 5 start
After two members of the Australian Paralympic
sailing squad were robbed at gunpoint in Rio de

Brazilian authorities to implement Olympic-scale
security now "before an athlete gets hurt." Two
men allegedly robbed sailor Liesl Tesch, who won
gold at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London,
and team official Sarah Ross on Sunday, according
to a statement from Australian Sailing. The two
men, one carrying a pistol, allegedly snatched
the women's bicycles in Rio Park. An estimated
85,000 police and soldiers are set to patrol the
streets during the Olympics and Paralympics, but
violent crime remains a fact of life in Rio. "Maybe
the organizing committee should mobilize their
games-time defense force early," Kitty Chiller,
Australia's Olympic team leader, said Tuesday.
"Do it now."Chiller said she'd written to the head
of the Rio organizing committee and to the city's
mayor, Eduardo Paes, to express concerns. "We're
demanding that the level of those (security) forces
bereviewed, andalsothattheybemobilizedearlier."
The weekend incident "was extremely concerning

Disney is embracing the power of movie make-

accusations against Johnny Depp. The Disney

visitors will be outraged over seeing the scandal-
scarred actor as Jack Sparrow at the "Pirates of the
Caribbean" ride at the newly-opened Shanghai
Disneyland resort. "I'm not worried about it,"
Iger told The Hollywood Reporter. When prodded
further by the industry trade if he thought the public
relations nightmare would pass, Iger answered:
"I don't know whether it passes or not. We have
Jack Sparrow," he said. Certainly the stakes for the
company go beyond the gates of the $5.5 billion,
1,000-acre amusement park that opened in China
last week. Depp, 52, is facing accusations that he
physically abused his now estranged wife, Amber
Heard, who won a restraining order against the
actor last month. The scandal seems to have hurt
Depp's marketability in Hollywood, at least in the
short term. His latest Disney movie "Alice Through
the Looking Glass," was a box office disaster.

Floods affect Bangkok after
huge overnight downpours
Several hours of intense overnight downpours
flooded many roads in the low-lying parts of
Bangkok at the tail-end of last week, causing
severe traffic jams during the morning rush
hour on the weekdays. According to the
Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA),
more than 30 roads in and around the affected
areas in the city were flooded by knee-high
water, making it impassable to small vehicles.
Workers complained of late arrival to office
due to the severe traffic jams caused by the
flooding.The worst affected area in the city was
low lying Lat Phrao, which forced four schools
nearby to cancel their classesWednesday, BMA
said, adding that clogged monsoon drains also
exacerbated the flood problems. Lat Phrao
and a section of Ratchadaphisek Road, among
Bangkok's major arteries for road users, were closed

in his Facebook advised road users to avoid using
several affected roads, including Ratchadaphisek.
Mahidol University was ranked the No 1
University of Thailand, and the 90th in Asia
out of a total of 200 universities, in the latest
Asia University Rankings 2016 undertaken
by Times Higher Education Institute. The
rankings were based on 13 indicators in five
criteria which include teaching and learning
(25 percent), the quality of research work (30
percent), references of the research work (30
percent), internationalism (7.5 percent) and the
university’s capability in making revenue from
its innovations and knowledge.The 13 indicators
cover opinion surveys among students,
educators and academics and responses from
the government and the industrial sector
towards the universities. Out of 200 universities,
six other Thai universities also made the list.

Uber to make app less 'complicated' to use
BUSINESSBiz-Tech
Uber is one of the start-up world's most high-profile firms, and increasingly popular in Bangkok
myself, where I've held off using an
Uber during a surge," said Jim Clark,
research director at Econsultancy.
"We as consumers are sensitive
to price: that's one of the reasons
they'll be making this change." Uber
said it was moving to a system were
riders would know the cost of their
journey before booking. Presently,
factors such as waiting time in traffic
can increase the cost of a journey. In
a blog post, Uber said it had started
rolling out the change in the US and
India in April. It said more cities
Uber is to hide surge pricing
notifications for more of its users
to make its app less "complicated".
During busy periods, the taxi firm's
customers are currently told they
will be charged a "surge price" such
as 1.7 or 2.3 times the standard fare.
Customers will instead be shown a
fixed fee with a notice that "fares are
higher due to increased demand".
One analyst said hiding the surge
price multiplier could stop people
being discouraged from using the
service."I've been in the situation
would follow suit, but that it had
no timescale for implementing the
change worldwide. In addition to
hiding the surge price multiplier,
Uber is also removing an option that
notifies customers when the surge
price drops. Uber said the changes
made the app "clear and simple".
"There's no complicated math and
no surprises - passengers can just
sit back and enjoy the ride," it said.
However, Mr Clark said hiding the
surge price multiplier could also
have a financial benefit for Uber.

Thai growth predicted at 4% for whole year
Standard Chartered Bank (Thailand)
has predicted Thailand’s overall
economy will grow by 4% as a
result of government’s escalated
investments in mega-infrastructure
projects which will encourage the
private sector to increase their
investments. Ms Ussara Wilaipit, a
senior economist at Stan Chart, said
that Thailand’s growth rate for the
first half of the year was predicted
at 3.6% but, in the later half of the
year, the growth rate would register
4.4%, making the overall growth rate
for the whole year to register at 4%.
She attributed the anticipated growth
rate increase to the government’s
efforts to speed up implementation
of seven infrastructure projects this
year which, she said, will convince
the private sector to increase their
investments in the later half of the
year. As for the inflation rate, Ms
Ussara said inflation rate for the
second half of the year would surpass
one percent but the policy rate is
likely to remain at 1.5% until the end
of the year. Permanent corporate
income tax standing at 20% and
double tax deductions for expenses
on new private investment this year
are boosting incentives, while pent-
up investment applications for Board
of Investment privileges worth 1.8
trillion baht since 2014 will steadily
translate into real investment, she
said. The low debt-to-equity ratio
among companies listed on the Stock
Exchange of Thailand provides room
for greater investment.
Volkswagen has agreed to take

owners of cars with 2-liter diesel
engines that were programmed to
turn on emissions controls during
lab tests and turn them off while

$10 billion and $10.3 billion.

Jake Bugg - On My Own
Nottingham’s own musical prodigy, Jake Bugg, has released his
third studio album, On My One, at the tender age of 22.The album’s
title derives from the Nottingham saying for ‘on my own’, which
works well with the fact that Clifton-native Bugg was much more
involved in producing this album than with his first two. The album
was mostly self-produced, and the majority of negative reviews
focus on this fact; deeming his work to have a derivational
quality, be it from his own previous work or the music of
others. His second album, Shangri La, also received mixed
reviews. The ‘third album’ is often considered a hurdle. It
demands originality combined with familiarity to previous
albums. This was an excellent effort, from a fine young star.

Fabulous Fourth of July!
TASTE ADVENTURES
Guest Columnist Jacob Holder,Founder ofTaste ofThailand Food
Tours,is excited to celebrate his homeland's independence in style!
As you sit down to a July 4th meal, have you ever
given any thought to where those foods come
from? Experts at the Smithsonian Institution
did, and they shared their findings in a recent
blog post. Hamburgers and hot dogs may seem
all-American but pigs and cattle were brought to
the New World by Spanish explorers. According
to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council,
Americans will eat 150 million hot dogs over
the Fourth of July holiday. On the other side of
the plate, tomatoes and potatoes have been a
perfect pairing for centuries. As early as 1781,
Thomas Jefferson served French-fried potatoes
with tomatoes at Monticello; today, the average
American consumes 142 pounds of potatoes
and three bottles of ketchup a year. As for that
bun you’re eating, wheat didn’t come to the New
World until Christopher Columbus sailed across
the seas in 1492. Enjoy the festivities all, and
most importanly, try not to over-induldge!
Hey guys! It's that time of year again, when
millions around the world, both proud
Americans such as myself, or those with family,
friends or a love of the USA, will celebrate the
day in 1776 that represents the Declaration of
Independence,andthebirthoftheUnitedStates
of America as an independent nation. There are
some nice events taking place around Bangkok,
that has a large number of expats from the States
- I can personally recommend the picnic that
takes place annually at NIST school. If however
you wish to rustle up some authentic dishes to
celebrate the day, then you can give my recipes
a go, that are both easy to create and delicious.
Food, and the 4th of July, go hand-in hand!

Mom's Turkey Meatloaf

June 29-July 12, 2016
Located on the Mezzanine Floor of The Empire
Tower in the heart of Sathorn District CBD, it
presents itself almost as a private club, equipped
with dining facilities, meeting rooms and even a
ballroom for larger events. The meal started off
with an introduction to the chef who has been
there from the beginning, when they opened over
a year ago. The main dining room is a long space
with a traditional, wood-paneled flair, brightly lit
by windows on the far end behind the bar. It is
a space that suits business lunches, small private
lunch meetings or even a quiet lunch for two. The
lounge is open from morning til evening, serving
breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also offer
special happy hour deals. Our meal commenced
with two brightly colored drinks - Blue Sky Empire
and Peach Italian sodas. The regular menu offers
not only water and juices but beer and smoothies
(including a Kale version!) The first course, the
'Lounge 195 balloon' was an impressive feat of
culinary engineering. Presented sitting atop a
bed of salad greens, tomatoes and fruit, dressed
with balsamic, was a delicate bubble, made of
Mozzarella cheese. Hiding inside was an avocado
mousse, which is only apparent upon cutting
into the ‘balloon.’ The taste was part crepe, part
cheese with the avocado lending a creamy finish.
The second course was a simple Duck Leg Confit
with garlic mashed potatoes and peas. The flavors
were nice and balanced, with just enough food
to make you feel like you had enough without
being too full. The dessert was clearly the star of
the meal. Beautifully presented with a delicate
sugar sculpture atop, the Chocolate Mousse was
indeed very rich and delicious. Accompanied by
a Strawberry sorbet, the flavors were strong, yet
not overly sweet. Overall presentation was lovely
and the environment serene and conducive to
conversation, whether for business or pleasure. It
isdefinitelyaspottocheckoutifyouarelookingfor
an escape from the usual lunch crowds and heat of
the city. Menu choices are clearly geared towards
the international, relying on nice presentation
and simple flavors to counterbalance the usual
spicy, strong-flavored Thai food in our everyday
diets here. We can recommend a visit to this lovely
venue, and we thoroughly enjoyed the ambience,
service and thoughtfully-created food and drinks
on offer, and plan to return as soon as we can.

Hazard is looking back to his best
Messi to reverse retirement?
Maradona leads the calls
Griezmann is Iceland's man
to watch after Irish win
Wimbledon2016isunderway
Despite being taken off with a
minor knock in the earlier round,
the Chelsea winger will return to
be fit for the Red Devil's last-eight
tie, according to his international
boss. Marc Wilmots insists Eden
Hazard will be 100 per cent fit for
Belgium's Euro 2016 quarter-final
against Wales, despite sitting out
training on Tuesday. The Chelsea
star was influential in his side's 4-0
round-of-16 win over Hungary on
Sunday, scoring the third with a
spectacular strike. However, having
picked up a knock in that game and
subsequently being substituted,
he joined Thomas Vermaelen in
missing out on Belgium's latest
training session. Wilmots, though, is
optimistic his captain will recover in
time for the last-eight meeting with
theWelsh. "Hazard felt a kind of thigh
contraction at half-time against
Hungary, that's why I replaced him in
the second half," he said. "I think he
will be back in training on Thursday.
He is in the care of the physios and is
working with them. "He is recovering
well enough that he should be 100
per cent the day before the match."
Belgium lost their opening game of
Euro 2016 to Italy, but have been in
fine form since, winning all three
games without conceding and
scoring eight goals in the process.
There has been a great deal of
speculation during the tournament
that his club side Chelsea may be
lining up a swap deal with Real
Madrid, who have coveted Hazard
for some time. Chelsea have their
eye on striker Alvaro Morata, who
they believe would compliment
new signing Michy Batshuayi well.
Lionel Messi has been urged
to reconsider his international
retirement by Argentina legend
Diego Maradona and the country's
president. The forward, 29, quit after
missing in a penalty shootout as
Argentina were beaten by Chile in the
Copa America - a fourth major final
loss in nine years. "Those saying he
should quit don't want us to see what
a disaster Argentinean football has
become," Maradona told La Nacion
newspaper. "Messi must go on."
Maradona, who captained Argentina
to victory in the 1986 World Cup
and managed the team at the 2010
World Cup, added: "Messi has to stay
because he will reach the 2018 World
Cup in Russia with conditions in
place to become a world champion."
Surprise Euro 2016 quarter-finalists
Iceland want a fairytale ending to
their run, like the one that Leicester
City enjoyed when they stunned the
soccer world by clinching the Premier
League title this season, team coaches
said onTuesday. Leicester, with no big
names in the squad, finished ahead
of far more illustrious English clubs
in what was one of the biggest upsets
in club football. Iceland, in their first
major tournament, have already
taken the competition by storm,
advancing past the group stage and
then beating England 2-1 on Monday
to set up a quarter-final clash with
hosts France. "I think I would like it
to end like it ended with Leicester
City," Iceland joint coach Heimir
Hallgrimsson told reporters. "They
played on their strengths and we are
trying to play on our strengths. "There
is the same team spirit in both teams.
We are willing to work for each other."
While Iceland had already exceeded
expectations, they were ready to
face France in much the same way
as they did England. "This was a
game for them (England) to lose.
All the pressure was on England,"
Hallgrimsson said. "Against France
we can go relaxed and show our best.
We don't have the pressure of the
entire world that we need to win this
game. We want to win but we don't
absolutely need to." Hallgrimsson
warned however, that France would
be keeping up the pressure until the
end, and that Antoine Griezmann was
in stunning form against Ireland.
career title at the All England Club.
Serena will also look to tie Steffi Graf's
mark of 22 Grand Slam titles for the
third major in a row. "I think more or
less about winning Australia, I think
about winning the French Open. I
think about winning Wimbledon. I
don'tnecessarilythinkaboutwinning
22." Serena said after the match.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Andrew Luck has signed a new six-
year deal worth $140m to become
the highest-earning player in NFL
history. The 26-year-old, drafted
to Indianapolis in 2012, is now
contracted to the Colts until the end
of the 2021 season. Luck's wages take
him above the $22.1m collected by

previous record earner. "I am thrilled
and excited," Luck said. The Colts
made the play-offs in Luck's first three
seasons with them but he suffered
an injury-hit 2015, missing two early
matches with a shoulder problem
before a lacerated kidney that then
saw him ruled out after week nine.
