Thai navy to battle Somali pirates

Thai navy to battle Somali pirates

.

Many Thai boats have been hijacked by Somali pirates. The Defence Ministry concern about it. They offer to the Thai cabinet to send the navy for helped vessles fight with the Somali pirates. Then the cabinet approve their proposal. Government spokesman said Early in September for a 98-day mutual operation, the personal around 370 with vessels carrying will leave for Somalia. He said the budget around 270 million baht will be allocated for this job. This piracy is a chronic problem that occurs at the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia by the pirates. The Pirates usually hijack a cargo ship and fishing boat. This problem is affected the economy of many countries.

I think, The Defence Ministry have a good idea to send a navy for protect vessels because Somai pirates is dangerous for a cargo and fishing boat. They have weapons on their speed boat. They hijack many boat around the India ocean and the Gulf of Aden. They steal only goods and asset on the boat but they don't kill people on the boat. This is a big problem for many countries. They should send a navy for protect thier boat like Thailand. Piracy is affected to the economy of many countries. They should fix the problem very quickly.

He resigns from the beverage and restaurant company that he founded around 10 years ago. He tenders the etirement letter to the company's board. This is a shocking news of Thailand about his parting.

Thailand opposes lower Mekong

Thailand opposes lower Mekong

I choose this article because itis important for Thai people. The Chinese government’s plan to build 12 hydropower dams on the top of Mekong river.
Thailand’s representatives have opposed them because the dams would destroy the river’s ecosystem. Prasarn Maruekpithak, chairman of the sub-committee for studying value, development and its impact on the Mekong River basin was invited by the Mekong River Commission to attend a workshop in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.
.

More than 100 representatives from Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and observers from China attended. They came to do the workshop. The workshop was aimed at assessing environmental strategies to deal with negative impacts likely to cause by China’s 12 hydro-electric dams projects.

.

I think, Chinese government shouldn't build the dams because it make a bad environment to the countries that lower the dams. It cause the habit of people, who live near the Mekong river is changing, fisher mans can't catch fishes, native can't use the water to do anythings because the dams cause the water level in Mekong river is lower. It is a big problem. Many countries that near the Mekong river is be in the trouble. Now, dams on the upper part of the Mekong River have already destroyed the river’s ecosystem. I think it is really bad for many countries.

On The Garbage Trail

On The Garbage Trail

Nowadays, the urban lifestyle is very convenient and hygienic. Everything in the world almost wrap in plastic. It is easier to carried. Almost, everything we buy, plastic packaging is used. The plastic is difficult to destroy. We should bury plastic because it doesn't make bad pollution .

The Sivalai Reusable recycling plant on Sukhumvit Soi 36. Plastic products are recyclable in there such as milk containers, carry bags, soap, shampoo can be crushed, melted and processed into plastic sheets and then resold to manufacturers.Anyway, plastic attached to metallic foil such as the packaging of chips, biscuits and other edibles cannot be recycled.

Basically, the sorting process divides the garbage into three categories - organic waste is converted into humus for use as compost. Recyclables are sent for recycling. And the rest is either incinerated or dumped in landfills. This is where an effort to minimise and sort household waste can really help.

I think , The plastic recyclable is very important for the environment. Everyone can help to developed the environment. We should divide garbages before we discard it into the bin because some garbages can recycle and reuse. The fast way that can destroy the garbage is burn but this way it make a bad pollution, bad environment, greenhouse effect and global warming. This way is one way to save world life.

A concert hall in your home

A concert hall in your home

This article is a good news for musician. I like it !. Nowadays,three-dimensional system or you can call " 3D " is popular in every countries, especially, 3D movie. But now, you can also see a 3D in the music.
The musician can feels like they play a music in the concert because the sound comes around the player about 360-degree

The music recording system in this project uses 26 miniature microphones connected to receivers which have 26 control points set in the recording room and the 26 miniature microphones are set around a saxophone played to collect sound from original instruments The sound is relayed by specially designed speakers, which are designed in a circular shape that comprise of 26 small loudspeaker units and 26 channel power amplifiers.

The project is a collaboration between the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (Nectec), the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan, and Thailand's Office of the National Culture Commission, according to Dr Virach Sornlertlamvanich, Assistant Executive Director of Nectec. The project that shows at the Supreme Artist Hall in Pathum Thani's Khlong Luang.

I think , This is a good news for musician, who plays and loves the music. They can use it for play a music at home and it look like they play at a concert because sound is coming out of the amplifier that they can hear, it make they feel like they play at the hall. It is a new experience for a musician. I think the 3D music is very useful in the future but I think a price is very expensive.

Now he thinks creatively more than before. Then he creates a new touchscreen and smartphone that he calls " iPhone ". The iPhone 4 is a high technology in the present age.
