Security tightened on Koh Samui after Phuket incidents
Police, military and local administrative officials have joined forces to prevent any potential threats from spreading to the popular tourist destination in Surat Thani province.
At the island's ferry terminal on Saturday, all vehicles and passengers arriving from the mainland were being thoroughly screened by local police, working alongside immigration officers, tourist police and soldiers from the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc) Region 4.
The heightened security comes in response to a series of incidents in Phuket and Krabi, many of which appeared to be connected and part of a broader attempt to destabilise southern provinces, authorities said.
The incidents included the discovery of a suspected explosive device in a motorcycle abandoned near the terminal at Phuket International Airport. A handful of other suspicious objects were found on popular beaches and tourist sites in Phuket and Krabi. All were safely neutralised by explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams.
Pol Lt Gen Surapong Thanomjit, commissioner of Provincial Police Region 8, instructed all police stations in vulnerable zones to increase vigilance. In addition to inspecting every vehicle disembarking from ferries, officers on Koh Samui are monitoring individuals who may pose a threat.
Additional checkpoints have been established along the island's ring road and at piers where tourists travel to nearby islands such as Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, both major attractions in Surat Thani.
In a parallel effort, district officials and military personnel visited Nurul Ihsan Mosque in Maret subdistrict to meet with local Islamic leaders. They requested cooperation in identifying outsiders or suspicious individuals who may have recently moved into the community.
Authorities have also urged the public to report any unusual objects or unattended items, especially in tourist hotspots. Residents are encouraged to contact police immediately if they notice anything out of place, as a precaution against potential attacks.

A four-year-old girl has died following an incident at a swimming pool in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. Police said they were "called to Waterworld on Festival Way at around 4.20pm to reports of a girl, aged four, in a critical condition". "Waterworld staff and colleagues from the West Midlands Ambulance Service treated the girl at the scene before paramedics took her to hospital for further treatment," officers added. "Despite the best efforts of hospital staff, the girl died a short while later. "The girl's next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers." Detective Chief Inspector Lucy Maskew from Staffordshire Police said: "Our thoughts are with the family at this terribly sad time. "We are now making enquiries and looking to establish the circumstances of the incident. We would ask that members of the public avoid speculating in these early stages of the investigation and allow the family to grieve." A Waterworld spokesperson said: "It is with great sadness that we learned of this little girl's passing this evening. "All our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during these extremely difficult times. Waterworld is in shock and has decided to remain closed tomorrow out of respect for the family. Waterworld is working closely with the authorities at this sad time." In a post on Facebook, Waterworld said the fatal incident happened at 4.15pm, "in the lagoon area of the aqua park".

Bodies of All 5 Missing Miners Found as Death Toll in Copper Mine Collapse Reaches 6
'We deeply regret this outcome,' said a Chilean prosecutor who announced the discovery of the body of the fifth trapped minerNEED TO KNOW A mine located in the Andes Mountains collapsed after a 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck the region on July 31 The bodies of five trapped miners were found over the weekend, and authorities said they are investigating the incident Chile declared three days of mourning for the fallen minersChile is in a state of mourning as authorities confirmed that a person was found dead following last week's mine collapse. Moisés Pavez's body was discovered on Sunday, Aug. 3, at 3:30 p.m. local time, according to Aquiles Cubillos, a lead prosecutor in the country's O'Higgins region, the Associated Press, The Guardian and the BBC reported. 'We deeply regret this outcome,' said Cubillos. The mine collapsed after the U.S. Geological Survey recorded an earthquake near where the El Teniente mine is located, just after 5:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, July 31, according to The New York Times and the Associated Press. The National Copper Corporation of Chile, also known as Codelco, said earlier in a series of Spanish-language statements that one person, Paulo Marín Tapia, died after the 4.2 magnitude earthquake impacted the work site. During a press conference, El Teniente's General Manager Andres Music said the tunnels inside the mine 'are closed' after they 'collapsed' following the earthquake, Reuters reported. 'There's no possibility of even radio communication," he added. 'We are making every effort to try to rescue these five miners,' Music also said, per the AP. 'The next 48 hours are crucial.' In addition to Pavez, the bodies of the four other trapped miners — Gonzalo Núñez, Jean Miranda, Alex Araya and Carlos Arancibia — have been located since Saturday, Aug. 2, the BBC reported. They were found through GPS devices, but searchers were unable to reach them, The Guardian added. Music said that around 100 rescue workers were at El Teniente when the earthquake struck, according to the Times. Nine people who were working on the Andesita project at the El Teniente mine had non-life-threatening injuries. Local media said the victims' ages ranged between 29 and 34, Reuters reported. At a Sunday press conference, Codelco CEO Rubén Alvarado mourned the loss of the six and announced that search operations had concluded. PEOPLE contacted Codelco for comment on Monday, Aug. 4. 'With great sadness, we wish to convey our condolences to the loved ones of Paulo, Gonzalo, Alex, Carlos, Jean, and Moisés, six miners who have lost their lives,' Alvarado said. 'I also thank those who were present: authorities, workers, and the community who have supported us throughout this process.' Music also expressed gratitude to the emergency responders. 'From day one, we committed to doing everything humanly possible,' he said at the press conference. 'It wasn't the outcome I expected, but we managed to reach them and bring them back with the respect and dignity they deserve.' Máximo Pacheco, Codelco's chairman of the board, announced that an investigation into the incident has been launched. 'We will commission an international audit with the best experts to determine what we did wrong. We owe it to the workers' families, to those who work at Codelco, and to all of Chile,' Pacheco said. The El Teniente mine is regarded as the world's largest underground copper operation, according to It spans over 4,500 kilometers (about 2,800 miles) of tunnels and underground galleries in the Andes Mountains. On Sunday, Chilean President Gabriel Boric declared that the country will observe three days of mourning through Tuesday, Aug. 5, and expressed his condolences to the victims' families. He added, "We will closely monitor the investigation to ensure clear answers are provided regarding the causes and responsibilities for this unfortunate incident." Meanwhile, Cubillos said that the incident is being investigated, Chilean news outlet El Mercurio reported. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'Every time there is a work-related accident,' he said, translated from Spanish, 'we have to rule out the possibility of homicide. Given this case, we have resulted in deaths and injuries.' 'To do so, we must investigate with all safety and technical regulations,' Cubillos continued. 'This is because any regulatory or legal violations could lead to negligent liability. ... That is why the Prosecutor's Office is obligated to investigate.' Read the original article on People

Management believes that organic sales change is a useful metric for investors, as foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures can have a material impact on sales change trends. Organic sales change highlights ongoing business performance excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currencies, acquisitions and divestitures. There can be no assurances that MSA's definition of organic sales change is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider sales change determined on a GAAP basis in addition to this non-GAAP financial measure.

These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures and operating ratios derived from non-GAAP measures. Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income excluding restructuring charges, currency exchange gains / losses, acquisition-related amortization, net cost for product related legal matter and transaction costs. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income divided by net sales to external customers. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income plus depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales to external customers. These metrics are consistent with how management evaluates segment results and makes strategic decisions about the business. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP, and therefore do not purport to be alternatives to operating income or operating margin as a measure of operating performance. The company's definition of adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider operating income and net income determined on a GAAP basis in addition to these non-GAAP measures.

There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods, nor that MSA's definition of adjusted earnings is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both net income determined on a GAAP basis as well as adjusted earnings.
