On the occasion of the diamond jubilee, this video shows how the people in Phuket pay tribute and revere HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej. From Andaman News. For our generation, many do not know that His Majesty the King paid a visit to Phuket island in 1959. The royal visit brought upmost happiness to his subjects in Phuket. Our special Report today traces back the happy and proud memories of people who met the king or presented some things to him. Let's go back together: March 8th -- 12th 1959 were big days for the islanders of Phuket due to the Royal visit of their Majesties the King and Queen. March the 9th seems even the most significant day for a then young girl Pranee Manosunthorn, aged 12 years old who was one of very few students chosen to sing a short poem in front of the King and Queen. Today, 47 years later, she is Assistant Professor Pranee Sakulpipat who still remembers all the remarkable detail of the proud moment. She showed off commemorative coins given by His Majesty the King after her performance. On the auspicious occasion of the 60th Anniversary of His Majesty's Accession to the Throne, the Phuket Provincial Administration Organization has been gathering old photos and data about the Royal visit by putting up an exhibition at Central Festival for the general public and tourists to view and learn about the King in Phuket. Many old photos were put on display and the public are invited to sign their wishes. Ajaan Pranee expressed the fondness and endeavors of ...

Google Tech Talk April 13, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by S. Keshav. Several powerful forces are gathering to make fundamental and irrevocable changes to the century-old grid. The next-generation grid, often called the `smart grid,' will feature distributed energy production, vastly more storage, tens of millions of stochastic renewable-energy sources, and the use of communication technologies both to allow precise matching of supply to demand and to incentivize appropriate consumer behaviour. These changes will have the effect of reducing energy waste and reducing the carbon footprint of the grid, making it `smarter' and `greener.' In this talk, I will demonstrate that the concepts and techniques pioneered by the Internet, the fruit of four decades of research in this area, are directly applicable to the design of a smart, green grid. This is because both the Internet and the electrical grid are designed to meet fundamental needs, for information and for energy, respectively, by connecting geographically dispersed suppliers with geographically dispersed consumers. Keeping this and other similarities (and fundamental differences, as well) in mind, I propose several specific areas where Internet concepts and technologies can contribute to the development of a smart, green grid. I hope that our work will initiate a dialogue between these two communities. (joint work with Catherine Rosenberg, University of Waterloo) Project site: blizzard.cs.uwaterloo.ca S. Keshav is a Professor ...

Google Internet Summit 2009: The State of the Internet May 5, 2009 Google Internet Summit 2009 Network and Statistics Session. Panelists for this session are Alan Mauldin, Tom Leighton, Stephen Stuart, and Greg Chesson. On May 5 and 6, 2009, in Mountain View, we brought together Googlers and leaders from academia and the corporate world for a 2-day summit to discuss the state of the global Internet. The goal of the summit was to collect a wide range of knowledge to inform Google's future plans--from product development and market reach to users' expectations and our ability to keep the Internet open yet secure. More than 30 speakers and moderators led discussions around 8 topics: Networks; Wireless and Sensor Technologies; Security; Standards; Applications; Democracy, Law, Policy and Regulation; Search and Cloud Computing; and The Future. Eric Schmidt, who offered some remarks, expressed optimism that the challenges we face with governments' walling off access to the Internet can be overcome technologically by building networks that are transparent, scalable, and open.
