Bussakorn Binson, Contributing Editor Alan Kinear, International Editor Editorial: Urban Crisis Management – New Research Challenges Kjell Skyllstad+ Editor in Chief On July 22 I was sitting at the breakfast table with my sister in Stockton, California when BREAKING NEWS news "ashed across the TV screen. It was followed by the terrible unfolding as it happened of the Oslo terrorist attack that shook the world. We were all in a state of unbelief and shock. How would our small country respond to such a despicable act? Soon our Prime Minister appeared on the screen with his response: More openness, more democracy, more dialogue, more inclusion. We all remember his appeal, repeated again and again. And a whole people seemed to agree: The perpetrator should not succeed in destroying what we had been working for during the last decades, showing a way forward for Europe: dignity replacing humiliation, inclusion replacing exclusion. 78 young activists paid with their lives for promoting these ideals. Their sacri!ce should not be in vain. The words of the Prime Minister and the reaction of the people stunned the outside world. There is no doubt in my mind: The Norwegian nation would not have come this long way in af!rming and extending our democratic traditions had it not been for determined day to day efforts by dedicated pioneers and bridge builders, men and women of good will of the cultural community. I am not speaking of one time intercultural events like festivals or concerts, important as they me be as openers of eyes and hearts. But there is no substitute for the will to determined and persistent action that propelled this movement. It all started when activists from the artist community more than three decades ago formed an alliance across ethnic, cultural and religions divisions in the capital Oslo to share the artistic heritage of immigrant traditions, an initiative that quickly spread to the other sectors of cultural life, gaining support from the city and national governments. The !nancial crises we see unfolding in Europe today is accompanied by signs of a new build up of a process of social polarization in step with increasing unemployment, especially among the youth, amplifying social tension. Large numbers of our immigrant populations in major European cities still !nd themselves locked in a state of social seclusion. Recent experiences show how + Dr. Kjell Skyllstad, Professor Emeritus, University of Oslo, Department of Musicology, Norway Editorial: Urban Crisis Management – New Research Challenges | 11 immigrant ghettos can act as dangerous isolates. This seclusion also acts to separate immigrant groups from each other, providing obstacles towards common action. Shortly before the recent London riots, the Guardian (22 July 2011) predicted a coming crisis: “While budget cuts leading to the loss of facilities that kept many inner-city youths of all races occupied, experts predict a rise in crime.” The paper speaks of child poverty and run-down schools and a “lost generation,” hardest hit by the economic downturn. The city recently slashed 41 million pounds off support for youth activities. A borough in North London hit by the riots had its youth service budget slashed by 75%. Under the heading “Farewell youth clubs, hello street life and gang warfare” the Guardian comments:”How do you create a ghetto? By taking away the very services that people depend upon to live to better themselves” It has been pointed out that urban Islamic activism could be a direct result of this policy. Islamic activism has both social and cultural roots. The movement offers young migrants to the cities a way out of social isolation caused by their transition from provincial small town dwellers to urban students or workers. For these people the confrontation with city life and the liberal norms of secularized urban colleagues is experienced as a cultural chock. They see our cultural forms as expressions of moral convictions and lifestyle, which judged by their own standards can only provoke derision. The movement then is for many the only accessible social group that offers acceptable and recognizable norms. On the backdrop of to-days crises cultural bridge builders (and arts managers) are confronted with an increasing cultural entrenchment and isolation among the majority population as well, encouraged by ostentatious declarations by big nation leaders of multiculturalism as a failed policy and an attempt to bolster a crumbling European cultural identity by identifying its imagined and threatening opposite – Islam. What really has failed is the ability and will to implement policies that these same politicians have coined. In 2003 the European Ministers for Cultural Affairs met in Croatia to formulate a Declaration on Intercultural Dialogue and Con"ict Prevention. The Declaration bases its recommendations on the awareness that cultural “impoverishment” and marginalization, on the one hand, as well as prejudice and ignorance, on the

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 9 ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Message from Chairman On behalf of the Board of Directors, the executives and employees of Noble Development Public Company Limited (the Company), I am delighted to present the results of an outstanding year. 2019 was the first year whereby the Company operated under a new group of majority shareholders, along with a new team of the Board of Directors as well as senior executives. This has led to a change in the vision, mission and set of business strategies that has set the Company towards sustainable development and growth, and which has resulted in the Company generating in excess of ten billion Baht in revenue for the first time since its establishment. In the past year, the Company and its subsidiaries generated revenue of 15,038.5 million Baht and net profits of 3,071.2 million Baht, which is the highest revenue and net profit of the Company since its founding. A closer look at the operating results of 2019 reflects the Company’s new business strategy which focus on enhancement of the corporate management to be more flexible combined with a strong focus on optimizing shareholder value with the goal of maximizing Return on Equity. The Company focused on increasing sales of completed projects which are ready for transfer; strong sales of such inventory has allowed the Company to immediately recognized revenue, as well as improve liquidity cashflow and free up equity for redeployment. Furthermore, the Company has sold some low yielding assets, such as land plots located in areas which is not aligned with the Company’s business plan, office building space, as well as retail space generating low rental returns income.

    A Model for the Management of Cultural Tourism at Temples in Bangkok, Thailand

    Asian Culture and History; Vol. 6, No. 2; 2014 ISSN 1916-9655 E-ISSN 1916-9663 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education A Model for the Management of Cultural Tourism at Temples in Bangkok, Thailand Phra Thanuthat Nasing1, Chamnan Rodhetbhai1 & Ying Keeratiburana1 1 The Faculty of Cultural Science, Mahasarakham University, Khamriang Sub-District, Kantarawichai District, Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand Correspondence: Phra Thanuthat Nasing, The Faculty of Cultural Science, Mahasarakham University, Khamriang Sub-District, Kantarawichai District, Maha Sarakham Province 44150, Thailand. E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 20, 2014 Accepted: June 12, 2014 Online Published: June 26, 2014 doi:10.5539/ach.v6n2p242 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ach.v6n2p242 Abstract This qualitative investigation aims to identify problems with cultural tourism in nine Thai temples and develop a model for improved tourism management. Data was collected by document research, observation, interview and focus group discussion. Results show that temples suffer from a lack of maintenance, poor service, inadequate tourist facilities, minimal community participation and inefficient public relations. A management model to combat these problems was designed by parties from each temple at a workshop. The model provides an eight-part strategy to increase the tourism potential of temples in Bangkok: temple site, safety, conveniences, attractions, services, public relations, cultural tourism and management. Keywords: management, cultural tourism, temples, Thailand, development 1. Introduction When Chao Phraya Chakri deposed King Taksin of the Thonburi Kingdom in 1982, he relocated the Siamese capital city to Bangkok and revived society under the name of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom (Prathepweti, 1995). Although royal monasteries had been commissioned much earlier in Thai history, there was a particular interest in their restoration during the reign of the Rattanakosin monarchs.

    3.4 Routing of Interceptors Options of Possible Routes of Interceptors Have

    3.4 Routing of Interceptors Options of possible routes of interceptors have been developed and assessed in this Section. All of the outlets are to be intercepted and collected wastewater is to be conveyed to Nong Bon WWTP which will be constructed at the site adjacent to Rama IX Park in all options. 3.4.1 Comparison of Routes The following prerequisite conditions are established for selecting interceptor routes. 1) All of the existing outlets are intercepted. 2) Interceptors are laid under klongs or roads. 3) Outlets are connected to WWTP by shortest possible routes since the topography of the treatment area is almost flat. Among the above conditions, (1) is thought to be natural because all wastewater is to be collected. The reasons for condition (2) are described in the former Section 3.3.3. The reasons for condition (3) are to minimize construction cost by making interceptors as shallow as possible. Taking into account the above conditions, the following 2 options are developed as trial options. Option 1: Almost all interceptors are laid under klongs Option 2: Almost all interceptors are laid under roads Routes of these two options are shown in Figure 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 respectively. Features of these options are as follows. 1) A total length of interceptors of Option 1 is approximately 66 km which is shorter than that of Option 2 (78 km) by approximately 12 km, since klongs run in all directions in the treatment area. 2) Wastewater can be received directly from the existing outlets in Option 1.

    Jeff Smith Head of Music, BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music Media Masters – August 16, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m here in the studios of BBC 6 Music and joined by Jeff Smith, the man who has chosen the tracks that we’ve been listening to on the radio for years. Now head of music for BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music, Jeff spent most of his career in music. Previously he was head of music for Radio 1 in the late 90s, and has since worked at Capital FM and Napster. In his current role, he is tasked with shaping music policy for two of the BBC’s most popular radio stations, as the technology of how we listen to music is transforming. Jeff, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Jeff, Radio 2 has a phenomenal 15 million listeners. How do you ensure that the music selection appeals to such a vast audience? It’s a challenge, obviously, to keep that appeal across the board with those listeners, but it appears to be working. As you say, we’re attracting 15.4 million listeners every week, and I think it’s because I try to keep a balance of the best of the best new music, with classic tracks from a whole range of eras, way back to the 60s and 70s. So I think it’s that challenge of just making that mix work and making it work in terms of daytime, and not only just keeping a kind of core audience happy, but appealing to a new audience who would find that exciting and fun to listen to.
