Google Alerts

Do you know what is Google Alerts? Why do we use it? Google Alerts is one of Google's services which automatically notifies users when new content from news, web, blogs, video and/or discussion groups matches a set of search terms selected by the user and stored by the Google Alerts service. Notifications can be sent by email, as a web feed, or displayed on the users’ iGoogle page. The service is available to the general public as an open beta release.
Google Alerts only provides content from Google's own search engine.
Currently there are six types of alerts sent when new content matches the search terms of the alert:

• Everything – (default setting) aggregates News, Web and Blogs
• News – sent when matching content makes it into the top ten results of a Google News search
• Web – sent when new web pages appear in the top twenty results for a Google Web search
• Blogs – sent when matching content appears in the top ten results of a Google Blog Search
• Video – sent when matching content appears in the top ten results of a Google video search
• Groups – sent when matching content appears in the top fifty results of a Google Groups search

Users determine the frequency of checks for new results. Three options are available: "once a day", "once a week", or "as it happens". These options set the maximum frequency of alerts and do not necessarily control how often they will receive alerts. Alerts are sent only if new content matches the user-selected search terms.
The first option, for example, means they will receive at most one alert email per day. The "as it happens" option can result in many alert emails per day, depending on the search.
Google Alerts are available in plain text as well as HTML. In October 2008 Google also made alerts available as RSS feeds.

Driving in Myanmar

Since 1970, car have been driven on the right side of road in Myanmar is like in our country Cambodia as well. The government of Myanmar has not required left hand drive (LHD) cars for the rule of driving on the right side. Most of cars are still right hand drive (RHD) which are made for left side driving rule countries. Myanmar's drivers have to rely on their passengers when passing other cars.

Car prices in Myanmar are among the highest in the world. In 2008, the two most popular cars in Yangon, 1986-87 Nissan Sunny Super Saloon and 1988 Toyota Corolla SE Limited, cost the equivalent of about US$20,000 and US$29,000 respectively because government allows only a few thousand cars to be imported each year in a country with over 50 million people.

Metropolitan Museum Will Return a Pair of Statues to Cambodia

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York said today that it will return to Cambodia two 10th-century Koh Ker ancient Khmer statues of “Kneeling Attendants” which donated  as separate gifts between 1987 and 1992 and on public display in its Asian Wing for nearly 20 years. The Met recently came into possession of new documentary research that was not available to the Museum when the objects were acquired.

The decision follows a recent meeting in Phnom Penh between senior museum officials and representatives of the Cambodian government.

Thomas P. Campbell, the museum’s director, said the decision came after the Cambodians offered evidence that the works had been improperly removed from the Koh Ker temple complex with photographs of the statue’s broken-off bases, which were left behind at the site.
