On my facebook (8)

Today, I accept new friends in my facebook. I find my friend to chat on my facebook. I know not everyone don’t chat with me. While I do my homework in my computer, there are person who my friend on facebook. His name is Hary Hari. He lives in Liberia. I think, he may be Melvin Kicmett’s friend. He may tell about me and Hary Hari add me to make friend.

The first thing to do in my chatting is greeting. He and me use basic structure of question and answer the questions. Such as, Hi, How are you today?,  and answer name and nice to meet you. I think, when I greeting the first time, I shouldn’ t tell about myself  too much. I should tell about me a little because we may be meet a bad person.


For a long time, He and me still chatting on my facebook. I can know about  religion that different with me. In my opinion, when I want to greeting with everyone avoid ask question that private for not making angry and making misunderstand.

At School
From 27 th to 30th August , 2013, I go to school to observation teacher and students by observing about  behavior of students and teacher around two week but it is the second week to school. I choose students grade 7 that are all the room such as low, intermediate, advance students. I can observe 5 days in this week.
About 5 days, I can know many things that have advantages to teach students in the future. I know relation between teacher and students; when teacher gives order to students, they can do follow teacher and performance the order. Every day, I observe controlling classes of teacher. Teacher will call the name of students to they intend class.

          In my opinion, if students don’t intend class, teacher must have various activities to teach students. Teacher can use multimedia material into the class because it is a new material that students interesting. For example, teacher calls the name of students. I thing, behavior of students depend on teacher teach. When teacher can control the class, students can learn better.

Cleaning up a putrid stream of water
Residents along Khlong Saen Saep have little faith that officials can restore the canal
Published: 31 Aug 2013 at 00.00
Newspaper section: News 
       

        Looking at the black and lifeless Khlong Saen Saep, canal-side resident Sarot Phueaksamli finds it hard to believe he once drank water from it.

         When he was young, water in the canal was almost no different from today's tap-water as people used it for cooking and daily household routines.

          The canal was also a place where he and his friends learnt to swim.

          That was decades ago when most of Bangkok was still green and not covered with roads and concrete buildings, said Mr Sarot, a 60-year-old resident of  Ban Khrua, an ancient Muslim community in Ratchathewi district.

           He thinks constantly about the revival of "old Saen Saep". His dream is also shared by many people aged over 50, including Bangkok governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra.

           The governor is working with officials and the people to clean up the canal, but it is doubtful whether their efforts will bear fruit.

           "MR Sukhumbhand pays much attention to Khlong Saen Saep," deputy Bangkok governor Amon Kitchawengkun said.

            "If you ask me whether we can turn it into a clean canal, my answer is yes, but it's going to be very difficult."

             His solution is to divert polluted water from Khlong Saen Saep to nearby canals and rivers. The aim is to dilute the filth in the larger body of water.

             However, one problem is that if dirty water is diverted elsewhere, the level in the canal would be reduced so much that boat transport could not continue.

Cleaning up a putrid stream of water

          In the present, there are many things to change in the world. From the news is in Thailand. It’s about “Cleaning up a putrid stream of water” the detail is looking at the black and lifeless Khlong Saen Saep, canal-side resident Sarot Phueaksamli finds it hard to believe he once drank water from it. 
          Resident Sarot Phueaksamli said; When he was young, water in the canal was almost no different from today's tap-water as people used it for cooking and daily household routines. The canal was also a place where he and his friends learnt to swim. So, people near the Khlong Saen Saep can’t use water from it. It’ s a big problem and must improve it immedietly.

          I think, when most of Bangkok was still green and not covered with roads and concrete buildings, Khlong Saen Saep and natural near it will many useful such as water, tree and etc. There are many boat transport that is easy to travel and cheaper than others transport in the presents.

Supplier charges tablet bids may be rigged 
Published: 30 Aug 2013 at 00.20
Newspaper section: News 




Computer tablet supplier Supreme Distribution Co has threatened to file a lawsuit against the Office of the Basic Education Commission (Obec) if it invalidates a bidding result for Zone 3, covering the Central Plains and southern provinces. The company won the June bidding to supply 426,683 tablets to Mathayom 1 students and teachers in Zone 3.

However, Education Minister Chaturon Chaisaeng last month instructed Obec to scrap the tablet procurement in Zone 3 because of concerns about bid rigging.

The minister's concerns arose because only two companies took part in the bidding. Supreme Distribution offered a price of 2,908.24 baht per unit which was unusually close to the median price of 2,920 baht. The Office of the AuditorGeneral (OAG) has also questioned the price difference between the computer tablets procured in zones 3 and 4.

Jasmine Telecom Systems won the bid to supply 402,889 tablets for Mathayom 1 students and teachers in Zone 4 covering the northern and northeastern provinces for 2,169 baht apiece.

Obec, however, has not yet signed an order to invalidate the bidding result for Zone 3 as instructed by the minister.

Panuwat Khantamoleekul, managing director of Supreme Distribution, Thursday vehemently denied foul play in the bidding.

"I assure that there was no bid rigging and we have not colluded with our competitor," he said, referring to SVOA Plc — the other company that took part in the Zone 3 bidding.

He said the company had already sent two letters to Mr Chaturon and a ministry committee overseeing the tablet computer scheme to quell suspicions.

As for the questions over the price difference between Zone 3 and Zone 4, Mr Panuwat said the tablet price procured for Zone 4 was lower than Zone 3 because Zone 4 bidders had learned about the winning price in the previous bidding for zones 1-3. He said they lowered their price to near the median price.

According to the tablet scheme's terms of reference, the tablet committee can revoke the bidding results only if there is "strong evidence" of bidding irregularities.

He said the OAG's concerns are not considered solid evidence.

Obec earlier conducted a probe into the alleged irregularities in the bidding, but found no wrongdoing.

Mr Panuwat said once Obec signed an order to scrap the Zone 3 bidding result, the company would automatically be put on a blacklist and might face legal action.

"This will damage the company's reputation," he said. "We might have to file an administrative charge against Obec to protect our image."

Obec secretary-general Chinnapat Bhumirat Thursday said the company had the right to file a lawsuit against the agency.

However, he insisted Obec had not yet nullified the Zone 3 bidding result.

Supplier charges tablet bids may be rigged

          Today, I would like to read a new more. I read about “Supplier charges tablet bids may be rigged” That are about tablet in the present. There are problem because bid rigging zone 3 and zone 4.
                The minister's concerns arose because only two companies took part in the bidding. Supreme Distribution offered a price of 2,908.24 baht per unit which was unusually close to the median price of 2,920 baht. The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) has also questioned the price difference between the computer tablets procured in zones 3 and 4. 

I think, tablet is important to students in M.1 because it has many activities to learn in many ways such as, learning from video, song and etc. But if students get a tablet to a bad way , students would be have not to learn and can’t know about knowledge that they want to know.
