Uzbek Man Arrested in Pattaya for Attempting to Exchange Counterfeit US Dollars
Picture courtesy of SiamChon. Police in Pattaya have apprehended a 31-year-old man from Uzbekistan after he attempted to exchange counterfeit US dollars at a local currency exchange outlet in central Pattaya. Pol. Col. Anek Srathongyu, Superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, along with Pol. Lt. Col. Arut Saphanon, Deputy Superintendent of Investigation, confirmed that the suspect, identified as Mr. Iskandarkhuja, was arrested at a hotel in city. The arrest followed a tip-off from a currency exchange shop in the city which reported that a foreign tourist, described as a fair-skinned male, had exchanged US dollars for Thai baht amounting to approximately 80,000 baht. Upon inspection, the dollar bills were found to be counterfeit. CCTV footage and documentation identifying the foreign suspect were handed over to Pattaya police investigators. Officers quickly traced Mr. Iskandarkhuja to room 2202 on the second floor of the hotel where he was staying. A search of the room uncovered two money exchange slips placed on a bedside table, as well as $3,000 in counterfeit US currency concealed inside a shoulder bag. During interrogation, the suspect admitted to bringing the counterfeit banknotes from Turkey with the intention of using them for daily expenses. He claimed he had planned to exchange the dollars for Thai baht or other foreign currencies to fund his stay in Thailand. Mr. Iskandarkhuja was taken into custody along with the counterfeit currency and the CCTV footage, which captured evidence of the crime. He faces charges of possession and intent to circulate counterfeit US currency, fully aware of its falsified nature. Pol. Col. Anek Srathongyu urged local business operators, particularly those in the currency exchange sector, to remain vigilant. He invited any additional victims or witnesses to come forward and file complaints with Pattaya City Police Station. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamChon 2025-04-25. -

UK to Launch Solar Dimming Experiments in Effort to Curb Climate Crisis
Early in my career my PhD concerned James Lovelock's CLAW hypothesis. James Lovelock was possibly the greatest British scientist since Sir Isaac Newton. its an hypothesis that has never entirely gone away, but has been modified. James Lovelock's observation of over 50 years ago that the Earth is a living planet is correct. The conditions we enjoy are down to Life on Earth. Take life away, and the planet changes massively. Where life influences our environment is through the mineral cycles; carbon, sulfur, phosphorous, nitrogen and so forth. Without life, everything oxidizes. Lovelock died a few years ago, aged 101. His final thoughts concerned the coming Novacene. He thought humans, as the dominant life form, have only 20-50 years left. He was quite amused by the prospect, because he knew he wouldn't be around to see it. AI would become the dominat life form, which could be genocidal, human skull crushing Terminators, or more likely, an AI rather keen on maintaining humans, like we maintain flowers in a garden. Because we will serve a purpose, in that our (lfe) contribution is providing a environment that coincidently is also pretty good for electronics. Later, I would come to know James Martin, an American oceanographer, equally brilliant and visionary, but his life was cut short by a heart attack. Its really down to him that we are even considerng climate engineering as something to try. Building on Lovelock's work, he was interested in what was going on in the Antartic Ocean during then summer. For a short period, the Weddell Sea, in terms of fisheries, becomes the most productive sea on Earth, an utter feeding frenzy for the Antartic Cod. Fishermen know this, and make a lot of money. What was causing it was the summer melt of the ice shelf releasing micronutrients which kicked started the algae, then the phytoplankton, all the way up the food chain to fish and us. But the sea is full of nutrients already. What is it short of? its short of Iron. If Iron can be added, algal blooms can be stimulated, leading to uptake of CO2, release of DMS, and following the CAW hypothesis, a sulfulr-mediated cooling effect. He died before they could try some practical oceanographic experiments. During the main bit of my researhc, which was all about bacterial activity as part of this feedback loop, I spent quite a bit of time bobbing around the North Sea in Hurricane strength winds, trying to work out how organic volatiles, like DMS, partition to atmosphere in a hurricane; interesting stuff being in a 50m boat, in a 20-50m swell, and trying to keep to a geostationary position. They managed to demonstrate Martin's Geritol effect in an Anglo-American expedition off the Galapogas; literally dump iron into the ocean, and measure the subsequent impact on atmospheric CO2. its a real effect. Enough to be used to enginer the environment? That's another matter, but a great deal of understanding was developed to understand how life affects the climate. I subsequently left the field to work in bioological threat agent work. Its an area of study I greatly miss. -
