Meditating in New Zealand (Part 5 of 6)

Published by seeking on November 13th, 2011 - in Thailand News

During the drive to Mom’s nursing home, I found myself undecided whether or not to tell her of dad’s passing. She probably wouldn’t understand, but I couldn’t be sure of that. Who knows what goes on in the minds of people in her condition? But if by chance she did understand, the news would be devastating, and take everything away from her that she had left.

She always loved him, regardless of the difficult life she had. I could always see it in her eyes. I asked a nurse what she thought about the situation, and she replied that it wouldn’t hurt to tell her, that she wouldn’t understand anyway. So the nurse and I walked in together to see Mom.

Thailand News

My mother was sitting there, but she wasn’t staring at the wall… she was looking directly at me! Her dark, brown eyes pierced my soul, as she slowly raised her hand to her forehead and made the sign of the cross.

I stopped dead in my tracks. My blood ran cold and chills ran up and down my spine; something supernatural was taking place… she already knew that dad was gone. I stared at her in disbelief, and just that quickly, she looked away as if nothing had happened and fell back into her self-enclosed world.

Development of Solar Energy Potential Maps from Satellite Data for Thailand

Published by seeking on October 26th, 2011 - in Thailand News

In this project, solar radiation maps of Thailand were developed using satellite data and ground based meteorological data. Digital data from the visible channel of the GMS4 and GMS5 satellites collected during a 6 year-period (1993-1998) were used in this work. The data displayed as images cover the whole area of Thailand with a spatial resolution of 5×5 km². These images were transformed to the cylindrical projection and then navigated using coastline as reference. The post-launched calibration tables were employed to convert gray levels of satellite data into the earth-atmospheric albedo. A physical model was selected for computing solar radiation based on this earth-atmospheric albedo. The surface albedo and the absorption and scattering coefficients of various atmospheric constituents were also determined and used in the model.

For testing its validity, the model was used to calculate monthly average daily global solar radiation at four solar monitoring stations situated in four provinces: Chiang Mai, Ubon Ratchathani, Songkhla and Nakhon Pathom. The results obtained from the model agree well with those of the measurement, with discrepancies for most cases being less than 5 %. Then the model was used to compute monthly average daily global solar radiation for the whole country. The results are presented as maps showing the distribution of solar radiation over the country.

In Defence Of Aljazeera TV Live Programs On Your PC Or Laptop

Published by seeking on September 19th, 2011 - in Thailand News

Aljazeera TV live programs are a source of worry for the United States Government etc, because Aljazeera TV Live programs seem to be the mouth piece of Al-qaeda group and a host of other so called terrorist groups, especially now that you can watch any satellite TV station on your PC or Laptop free. For instance, after the disappearance of Bean Laden from Afghanistan, Aljazeera TV live programs became his mouth piece of sorts.

But the position of Aljazeera TV in this matter is simple. They are in business to disseminate information, just like CNN TV live , Zee TV live, Dubai TV live, CNBC TV live and Thailand TV live programs.

“Terrorists” and all other organizations that are looking for the medium for expressing their views find ample opportunity in live TV stations to bring to the notice of the world current affairs, actions and other information they want the people to know about.

Aljazeera as a commercial organization puts its business interest and long term survival first before other considerations, such as the position of the United States Government on issues bothering on terrorism.
