A damp mist seemed to envelop long-since discarded gravestones in the old part of Highgate Cemetery on a warm but dismal Jul afternoon. Birds were strangely silent and no animals stirred in the undergrowth; even the voices of the small group of human beings present appearing softer than normal, as if subdued by some undefined presence which seemed aware of their every movement. This ’hushed silence’ might have triggered by the imaginations of those present who were overcome by the majestic melancholy of their surroundings, but subdued they were as they moved in order along deserted pathways trying to keep pace with a much louder human voice that seemed inclined on guiding the group around the graves and silent tombs.
It was July 9th, 2005 at 4pm; the venue, an Official Tour of London’s Highgate Cemetery. Not a particularly irregular Tour from the norm, perhaps, but maybe one almost unique in that one of the invited participants was David Farrant, a man who had been virtually banned from Highgate Cemetery back in 1973 following an investigation he conducted there into reports about a ’vampire-like’ figure that had been reported inside the cemetery. This was reputedly a tall dark-draped figure with hypnotic red eyes that confronted unsuspecting people wandering around the cemetery by day (when it was fully open to the public) and which had also been seen through the locked gates by night. The fact that the figure was reported as having ’hypnotic red eyes’ probably explained a widely circulated story that it could, in fact, be a ’vampire’.
Sightings of this apparition were numerous and it was even said to have ’attacked’ two people in Swain’s Lane outside the cemetery by pushing them to the ground ’with tremendous force’ before suddenly disappearing into the surrounding darkness. One of these ’attacks’ had been upon a young nurse back in 1970 who claimed that she had been thus ’attacked’ by a tall dark figure that had thrown her powerfully to the ground causing abrasions to her knees and elbows. Luckily, at this moment, a car came along and the figure disappeared in the glare of the headlights. Seeing that she was badly shaken, the driver took her to Highgate Police Station who immediately made a thorough search of the area. They found nothing although interestingly, at the place the figure had appeared, Swains Lane was by 15-foot high walls.
Intrigued by all these accounts, I had entered Highgate Cemetery one night with others (including a psychic medium) with the intention of trying to witness the phenomenon but, unfortunately, this vigil was interpreted by the police and I ended up in Clerkenwell Magistrates’ Court where police alleged that I was ’vampire hunting’. I was acquitted of this charge (the name of the Magistrate was Mr. Christoper Lea) but the publicity which the case attracted caused interest in Highgate Cemetery to escalate, which in turn, led to a marked increase in vandalism there and gave myself an unwanted reputation as being a ’vampire hunter’.
But interest in the Highgate case had continued to spread over the years until in 1997, I founded the Highgate Vampire Society which by 2000 had acquired several hundred members. Unfortunately, in 2000 the Highgate Vampire Society had to be temporarily suspended due to pressure of work but it had been re-launched in July; hence my belated return (some might say ’unwelcome’ return) to Highgate Cemetery…
The guide was informative from a historical point of view, but she was very careful to avoid the furore that had enveloped Highgate Cemetery in the early 1970’s; indeed, one which by its intensity was to transform the cemetery’s standing and lead ultimately to the formation of The Friends of Highgate Cemetery and the development of Guided Tours.
Not that anybody seemed willing to raise the matter of the cemetery’s past connection with the occult or ’vampires’; perhaps her leading approach in discussing only ’historical deaths’ and architecture conveying not only that such subjects were taboo, but they were simply not open to debate.
And yet northing could disguise the almost preternatural aura that the cemetery still chose to exude. It was there in the air, it was present in the physical architecture and it certainly permeated the dismal vaults that were contained almost magically in the Circle of Lebanon. It was in one of these, that one small group of ’vampire hunters’ had claimed to have discovered the Highgate vampire asleep in its coffin in 1970 with horrifically glazed eyes, its mouth still glazed with fresh blood!
Their so-called leader was about to ’stake it’ but then he apparently became squeamish (or so he said) and decided instead to have the vault bricked up using garlic impregnated cement. The vault was indeed bricked up at the time, but this was in fact done entirely at the instigation of the cemetery superintendent who had a number of vaults bricked up in the cemetery to deter continuing vandalism. As to allegations of ’vampirism’, this same person stated to a BBC television crew at the time that he thought the people making such allegations were all ’nutcases’ and that if he had his way, he’d like to lock them up for the night in one of the vaults to see if they could really find a ’vampire’!
But so much for fiction. Highgate Cemetery has indeed changed from the days when it used to be a ’feeding ground’ for ’weirdo’s’ and the worst kind of vandalism. It is almost tranquil now. A place that could almost be described as having been given a ’new lease of life’. Thanks to people like The Friends of Highgate Cemetery.

Every dog owner dreams that his or her dog will appear on the cover of a popular dog magazine. And it is, in fact, an honor for the owner. That is why almost all dog owners, especially in the UK, try their best so that their dogs can appear on the cover of a magazine.
The process is difficult, and most people don’t know how to put their dog’s photo in a famous dog magazine UK. And if you are one of those people who don’t know the process, you should listen carefully to what to do.
Let’s start from the basics. First, as a dog owner, you must choose a famous or well-known dog magazine with a good reputation. Suppose a magazine is not recognized or doesn’t have a positive reputation. What’s the point of appearing in that magazine – unless you want to get a negative reputation for your dog too?
So, as a dog owner, you should make sure that the dog magazine you choose has a good reputation and recognition in the society. Many dog magazines don’t have demand, recognition, or creditability, and people don’t trust them because of the lack of their creditability. Don’t choose magazines like them.
At the same time, some popular magazines with good demand, recognition, and reputation can ask you for money to put your dog’s photo on the cover. If you are ok with that, you can gladly accept the offer.
But I always try to save my money, and plenty of well-known dog magazines help dog rescue centers and owners by putting their dog’s photos on their covers without costing anything. Don’t you know any magazine like that? You should consult with Vanity Fur Magazine.
How Can My Dog Appear on the Cover of Vanity Fur Dog Magazine?
Before guiding you through the process, let me tell you – Vanity Fur Magazine is a well-known dog magazine with a good reputation and demand in the UK. So you will not regret putting your dog’s face on the cover.
You will not have to go through any complicated process to do that. A photo of your dog, name and your name (dog owner) is enough for the process.
You just have to send those things to the Vanity Fur Magazine office or email. And they will put that photo on the cover as soon as possible. Along with that, they will also place your dog’s photo on the gallery of their official website, where thousands of people can see and read the rescue story.
Appearing on a dog magazine’s cover will benefit a rescue center and is a good platform for a dog charity. Because people will know about dog rescue centers and adopt dogs, and people who like to help those institutions will help them with money or other things.
That is why Vanity Fur helps those institutions and features them on their magazine’s cover. And those who have a good rescue story will also be featured in the magazine.

Sadjad Ghoroghi, for one, who runs a mining company in Zanjan in northwestern
Iran, says he had long dreamed of finding a foreign investor willing to help
expand his operations. Iran is thought to have rich deposits of zinc, copper
and gold, and experts say that mining has the potential to become a $60 billion
industry, equal in size to the country’s oil industry.(Thomas Erdbrink)
ZARRINABAD, Iran — When Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps took over the nation’s telecommunications monopoly in 2009, the move was denounced as another dark step in the hard-line military group’s seizure of the levers of power.
“It’s not just a matter of the Guards dominating the economy, but of controlling the state,” Alireza Nader, an expert on Iran and the co-author of a comprehensive RAND Corporation report on the Revolutionary Guards, said at the time.
Last month, however, the company, the Telecommunication Company of Iran, was put up for sale, as the Revolutionary Guards now seem more interested in cashing in on what Iranian leaders are hoping will be a flood of foreign investment if a nuclear deal with world powers gains final approval and sanctions are lifted.
And it is not just the Revolutionary Guards. During the past decade, well-connected Iranian investors amassed undervalued assets in poorly executed and frequently corrupt rounds of privatization, buying insurance companies, hospitals, refineries and public utilities, among other things previously run — usually poorly — by the state.
But with Western sanctions putting an ever-tightening stranglehold on the Iranian economy, finding buyers for the assets became next to impossible, especially in recent years. In the absence of outside investors, and no deep-pocketed private buyers in the country, Iranian investment companies fronting for state pension funds, military cooperatives and religious foundations bounced shares back and forth on the Tehran Stock Exchange just to make small profits.
“They had no one to sell to inside Iran but now, with the nuclear deal done, everything is falling into place,” said one well-established Iranian-American consultant who asked to remain anonymous because his business activities are punishable under United States law as long as sanctions remain in place. “A lot of people here have started pulling out their calculators.”
The potential sell-off began to take shape in July, as the nuclear agreement began to move toward a conclusion, economists say. That was when the Etemad-e-Mobin investment company, part of a cooperative fund belonging to the Revolutionary Guards Corps, put the Telecommunication Company of Iran on the selling block.

As part of an effort to set the example in energy conservation and in promoting alternative forms of fuel, the government said yesterday that the majority of public buildings would be kept warm by using natural gas rather than with heating oil by next year. The move was unveiled by Development Minister Dimitris Sioufas after an Inner Cabinet meeting yesterday, as the government attempts to come up with ways of weaning Greece off its dependence on oil as a source of fuel. Sioufas said that Greece spends up to 3.5 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on oil – more than double the amount spent by many other European countries. Sioufas underlined the financial implications of this apparent over-dependence by highlighting the sharp rise in the price of crude oil from $31 per barrel to $67 over the last 16 months. Oil refineries, distributors and the government agreed last week to tighten profit margins in the gasoline market in an effort to soften the impact of rising energy costs on consumers’ pockets. In a bid to promote alternative energy sources, all state buildings in Attica, Thessaloniki and Thessaly will be heated using natural gas, as opposed to heating oil, by April next year. This will involve the replacement of all the boilers in the relevant buildings. Sioufas did not indicate what the cost of the scheme would be. He added that licenses would soon be granted to three new companies wishing to provide consumers with natural gas.

Flex Top 2211 is a 4...20 mA loop-powered, configurable universal transmitter with galvanic isolation between input and output. The input can be configured for RTD or T/C sensors, resistance, current or voltage signals. Either 2, 3 or 4-wire connection can be selected for the resistance input. The built-in temperature sensor or a remote Pt100 sensor can be used to compensate for "cold junction" (CJC) if thermocouples are connected. Flex Top 2211 is embedded in silicone which makes it resistant to humid environments. The configuration can be established from the dedicated Flex Programmer configuring tool connected to a PC. Flex Top 2211 has a 6 mm centre hole for fast sensor replacement and spring loaded mounting screws which ensure a safe fastening even in vibrating environments. A built-in temperature surveillance system gives alarm if ambient temperature limits are exceeded.
The TT200 Series are our mid range transmitters for RTD, Slidewire, Thermocouple and Resistance sensors. They will convert the sensor input to provide a loop powered 4/20mA output signal. ATEX version are also available The TT200 Series have a calibration feature where the output can be matched to the sensor on the input. It can be matched at zero, or both zero and span ends of the range being measured. It is also possible to measure linear resistance up to 10K Ohms and slidewire sensors up to 100K Ohms. The software allows a user linearisation function to be downloaded into the product. This allows the user to adapt the output to suit a non linear tank for example.
The SEM210 is a universal programmable temperature transmitter which accepts most commonly used Pt100, thermocouple, mV and slide-wire sensors and generates an industry standard (4 to 20) mA transmission signal. This type of product is useful if you use a number of different sensors; you only need to hold one product in stock. The output range and other operating parameters are easily programmed using our free software and USB powered configurator. Isolation is a standard feature to overcome any potential ground loop effects and a sensor referencing facility enables the transmitter to be calibrated to a particular sensor.

From these cutaway images, you can clearly see the difference in three
of the lens designs Kodak used. All of these lenses show their origins
in the triplet design that was popular in the early part of the 20th century.
- The first lens is an example
of most Kodak normal length upscale consumer lenses and characteristic
of many professional lenses--a Tessar design--four elements in three
groups, although in this case Kodak designers reversed the last two
elements, putting the positive element next to the stop. For a more
traditional treatment of the Tessar design, see, for example, the design
for the successor to the Kodak 35, the 44mm, f /3.5 Ektar for
the Kodak Signet
. Kodak called these lenses Anastigmat Specials (later Anastars) and
Ektars. Both the first and second lenses above are front cell focusing;
only the front cell is moved, while the remainder of the elements remain
static. This is arguably not the best design, but it reduced production
costs on non-rangefinder models. The success was in the details, since
modern users find that such lenses on Kodak "folders" perform
very well given their modest origins. The Tessar-design lenses used
on professional cameras were unit focusing--all elements were mounted
in a permanent relationship to each other and the entire collection
is moved during focusing. The most common use of these professional
lenses was in press cameras like the Speed Graphic and large single
lens reflex designs, like the Graflex, both of which had moveable front
standards on which the lens could be mounted. The Graphics had coupled
rangefinders and the Graflex had direct focusing through a reflex mirror.
- The second Anastar shown above
was an unusual design for Kodak and followed an earlier design used
on the German Ernostar and Sonnar lenses--four air-spaced elements.
This design uses an additional second element that raises the maximum
aperture of the triplet design.
- The third lens above is also
an unusual design for Kodak using five elements in three groups--a Heliar
design, a specialty of Kodak designer Fred Altman--shown here as used
in the Kodak Medalist. Kodak also used this Heliar design for a 105mm
f/3.7 for small press cameras and as a 35mm 31° design as a wide
angle lens for the Kodak Ektra. Five elements made this an expensive
lens for the Kodak, but you might say that Kodak was an early adopter
of the prosumer marketing strategy.

Requirements for car shipping to Canada
Before you ship a vehicle to Canada, the first and most important thing you must make sure is that your vehicle will be accepted for import into Canada in line with vehicle import regulations. Canada has strict import requirements with regards to safety standards being met when a vehicle is being imported. There are no exceptions if the vehicle does not meet their criteria.
The Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) work with Transport Canada to ensure that all vehicles being imported into Canada are done so, in-line with safety standards. It is very important for you to know if your vehicle will be accepted into Canada before you commit to ship it. If you do ship an inadmissible vehicle in to Canada your vehicle will be denied entry and you will be liable for all storage and disposal/re-export costs incurred.
While the CBSA and Transport Canada prohibit the importation of their vehicles not manufactured for sale in either Canada or the United States of America, there are circumstances where vehicles manufactured for other foreign markets may be privately imported. Such circumstances include:
- Where the vehicle is in excess of 15 years old.
- If the vehicle is a bus manufactured before January 1st 1971.
- When the vehicle being imported is not of a regulated class (eg. Mobile homes designed to be towed or motorcycle side cars)
- Where the vehicle is returning Canadian compliant vehicle being re-imported back into Canada (evidence will be required)
- If the vehicle is a returning U.S compliant vehicle orignally owned in the United States.
There is currently no provision made in the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act to permit vehicles that are sold in a country other than the U.S or Canada to be modified to meet Canadian safety requirements.
Vehicles less than 15 years old
With the exception of vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States, Transport Canada prohibit the importation of all foreign vehicles manufactured for sale within the U.S may be eligible for import into Canada, there are however strict regulations governing their importation. Clarification of the accepted vehicles manufactured in the U.S is provided by the Registrar of imported vehicles (RIV), a body established to administer regulations for the importation of U.S vehicles into Canada.
While U.S manufactured vehicles may be imported into Canada there may be modification work required to bring the vehicle in line with RIV requirements modification work if required can be expensive and we strongly suggest that your vehicle eligibility to be imported and also so that you understand what, if any modification work may be required.
Vehicles over 15 years old
Vehicles that are over 15 years old qualify for exemption from the RIV program if the importer is able to demonstrate the age of the vehicle, for instance by providing a copy of the vehicles licence document (V5) as evidence of the age of the vehicle.
While vehicles over the age of 15 years old may be permitted entry into Canada there are regulations against registering your vehicle that should be considered. Registration requirements vary from province to province so it is also important that you are aware of specific requirements of where you will be registering and using your car.
Requirements for car shipping to Canada
So that we can arrange shipment of your car, there is some documentation that we will require from you in order to complete your shipping in accordance with current UK export customs controls. Please note that we do not require any original documentation, we only need copies.
- The vehicles registration certificate (V5C)
- A copy of the photo page of your passport
- A copy of the Purchase/Sales invoice of the vehicle
- A copy of your MOT certificate (if we are collecting the vechile)
- Signed power of Attorney
To make sure that everything moves forward smoothly we have put together a page on Car Shipping Documentation that will guide you through what is required and the reasons that it is needed.

Next Generation Nuclear Reactors
- Inherently stable reactor technology
Nuclear power is the second largest producer of electricity in the United States, after coal.
Nuclear power offers some significant advantages compared to coal and other major sources of electricity, including no dependence on imported fossil fuels, no emissions of the precursor gases to acid rain, and no emissions of greenhouse gases. However, no new nuclear plants have been built in the United States since 1978. A significant drop in the growth rate of electricity demand since the 1970s, escalating construction costs, concerns for safety, and waste disposal issues have all adversely affected the general acceptance of nuclear power.
Safer and cleaner scalable nuclear reactors, operating on non-proliferating fuel cycles, may be an important source of new electric generation capacity with reduced environmental impact for U.S. and world markets. A number of advanced nuclear reactors, now in design or development, offer significant gains in simplicity, operability, and safety over the most common light water reactors now in operation. Since nuclear reactors are in greater demand outside the U.S., next generation reactors could make a positive contribution to the U.S. trade balance.
International comparisons in reactor technology are greatly complicated by alliances and joint development efforts. Because the vast majority of current reactors are based on U.S. technology, U.S. firms have remained competitive in design services and are active members of international alliances. Westinghouse is working with Mitsubishi and GE is involved with Toshiba and Hitachi on evolutionary improvements of current systems. However, while the U.S. is preeminent in light water reactor technology, we are likely to fall behind in non-light water advanced reactors such as liquid metal reactors because of large funding cuts. Foreign efforts to develop these technologies are likely to continue although perhaps at a reduced rate as many foreign efforts involved U.S. participation.


IBM is a global technology, consulting, and innovation company with 400,000+ employees serving clients in 170 countries. IBM’s broad portfolio features middleware for collaboration, predictive analytics, software development, and system management. Utilizing its business consulting, technology and R&D expertise, IBM helps clients to become "smarter" as the planet becomes more digitally interconnected.
In early 2015, IBM was working on enabling Cloud Foundry components on POWER8 over OpenStack.
However, the company faced the need to build and automate the creation of necessary BOSH assets—a tool chain for Cloud Foundry—such as stemcells and releases. So, IBM turned to Altoros for expertise in Cloud Foundry, BOSH, and OpenStack to foster the delivery.
In the course of the project, the following challenges were determined:
Engineers at Altoros have automated creation of BOSH stemcells, BOSH releases, CF releases, as well as installation of BOSH and Cloud Foundry over OpenStack with Ubuntu VMs on IBM Power Systems.
The team has also ensured the correct installation of Ruby gems used by BOSH Director, CF Cloud Controller, DEAs, Warden, etc.
A set of Cloud Foundry buildpacks was modified to include executables for Ubuntu LE on POWER8.
To dissolve the differences between the root file systems of Ubuntu on POWER8 and x86 systems, we’ve utilized this script and also patched the BOSH Agent.
As a result of collaboration with Altoros, IBM has accelerated porting Cloud Foundry to the POWER8 architecture, automating creation and deployment of BOSH components. All this work has been done inside the Oregon State University’s OpenStack environment based on POWER8.
The team is merging the necessary changes to the community-driven Cloud Foundry repositories and is also working on CI.
By consolidating the capabilities of Cloud Foundry and high performance of Power Systems, IBM now has a breakthrough DevOps solution to the needs of large enterprises, such as financial (banks), transportation (subways / airlines), research (healthcare / GIS / etc.), and governmental organizations.


Project Description: Served as editor, designer, and publisher of the band Sweaters’ zine manifesto, which accompanied the release of their record by White Iris.
“L.A.’s soulful pop rockers Sweaters are not just a band, they’re a lifestyle. Or so says Can’t Stop Winning, their manifesto and 7″ single produced by White Iris Records. Few have attempted the record/manifesto combo, but Sweaters’ philosophy of obeying their instincts led them to this unlikely confluence of music and text. Each ‘Can’t Stop Winning / Like Ur Killing a Man’ record will include the 24-page manifesto (Echo Park Books) that delineates the world according to Sweaters: ‘At one point, sooner or later, you’ve got to stand up and decide it’s time to start winning.'”

Well maybe not totally disconnect but perhaps stop whatsApping and texting and actually pick up the phone and speak to someone instead of messaging.
|what people do..|
texting is like multitasking, you can have a text conversation with someone and still carry on doing what ever it is you are supposed to do, I guess thats why people like texting.
But I find that when I text I either piss someone off or I dont understand what they are trying to say. I also feel very pressured to reply, even when I dont want to.
Then theres Facebook, which has become a bit of a bore lately.. so I deactivated my account today, I am tired of seeing ads and bullshit and have the added pressure of adding friends.....
At least I will stop reaching for my phone and scrolling through facebook the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night.
Lets see how long I can stay disconnected from facebook and if I can get my friends to call instead of texting..

Police are crediting a pedestrian’s awareness after avoiding a potentially serious injury.
Dashcam footage was recently submitted to the Delta Police Department (DPD) showing an incident that took place on Tuesday afternoon on the 9100 blocks of 116th Street, near Delview Secondary School.
A pedestrian narrowly avoids getting hit after a driver rear-ends a vehicle that was already stopped at the intersection.
“The pedestrian left the scene — uninjured thankfully it seems — before police could arrive, but we want to commend them for doing everything right,” said acting-Sergeant Vince Neudorf, of the DPD’s Traffic Unit in a release. “They’re wearing bright clothes, crossing at a marked crosswalk, and waiting for vehicles to stop.”
“Most importantly in this case — the pedestrian was also very alert, and managed to quickly get out of the way when another vehicle slammed into the car that stopped for them.”
The driver who had already stopped at the intersection received minor injuries, with significant damage to their car.
Police say that the driver responsible for the crash was issued a $368 ticket and six points for driving without due care.
“Even at low speeds, when a pedestrian is hit these can be very serious or fatal, particularly when children or the elderly are involved,” says A/Sgt. Neudorf.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to determine the effect, if any, of prior treatment with radiation therapy or chemotherapy for Wilms tumor diagnosed during childhood or adolescence on live births, birthweight, and the frequency of congenital malformations. Patients and Methods: We reviewed pregnancy outcomes among survivors of Wilms tumor treated with or without irradiation to the flank or tumor bed on National Wilms Tumor Studies 1, 2, 3, and 4 using a maternal questionnaire and review of both maternal and offspring medical records. Results: We received reports regarding 427 pregnancies with duration of 20 weeks or longer, including 409 liveborn singletons for whom 309 sets of medical records were reviewed. Malposition of the fetus and early or threatened labor were more frequent among irradiated women. Both were more frequent among women who received higher radiation therapy doses. The offspring of the irradiated female patients were more likely to weigh less than 2,500 g at birth and to be of less than 36 weeks gestation, with both being more frequent after higher doses of radiation. An increased percentage of offspring of irradiated females had one or more congenital malformations. Conclusion: Women who receive flank radiation therapy as part of their treatment for Wilms tumor are at increased risk of fetal malposition and premature labor. The offspring of these women are at risk for low birthweight, premature (< 36 weeks gestation) birth, and the occurrence of congenital malformations. These risks must be considered in the obstetrical management of female survivors of Wilms tumor.

Q: What can I do if my wife refuses to get help for her depression ? -- Dan, 48
Dr. Susan: That depends on why she refuses. She may resent that you see her complaints as depression, or she may be so down that she can't imagine anyone or anything helping her. Perhaps rather than putting a label on her feelings, focus on what's going on. For example, do the two of you never have any fun anymore? Is she unwilling to make any efforts to be a pleasant mate? Is her mood bringing you down too? Or are you worried that she is seriously ill and may harm herself at some point? Maybe if you tell her this is very important to you, and that you will go with her for a check-up and support her in finding some way to help her feel better? Although depression is a very inward-turning experience, I believe husbands and wives owe one another the effort to get back on an even keel to ensure the relationship remains safe and satisfying. Your quandary is a challenging one, but don't give up on your wife. Maybe marriage counseling would seem less threatening to her than individual help.

Date: Aug 23, 2013 [...] it is the time for the Japanese government to shoulder more responsibilities to address the global concerns. [...]
Studies showed that radioactive substances have spread into high sea from the crippled nuclear plant, proving that the tragedy has no longer a national problem, but a serious international environmental issue that needs stronger efforts to deal with. [...]
A priority for the Japanese government to relieve the global anxiety is to make the accident relevant information more transparent to the international community so as to precisely assess the graveness of the entire accident and its aftermath.
It is hoped that the Japanese government would not keep the information for its own political interests as the issue concerns not only the core interests of the Japanese people, but also people who share the planet. [...]

The singer/songwriter is set to screen "All Too Well: The Short Film" at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.
FROM a New Yorker who prefers anonymity: “My mother was born in Kiev. I know about the Cossacks. They’re relevant to Ukraine today.

Your facility can be kept cool in a variety of ways. When it comes to efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall performance, a centralized air-cooling system stands out as the best option. This system is designed to cool large areas or entire buildings, making it the perfect solution for hospitals, schools, offices, and other large public buildings.
This blog post will explore the many benefits of using a centralized air-cooling system and why it may be the perfect choice for your facility. From energy savings and improved air quality to scalability, precise temperature and humidity control, and reduced maintenance costs, there are many reasons why a centralized air-cooling system is an intelligent investment.
In this blog post, we’ll dive into these benefits in more detail so you can decide on the best cooling solution for your facility.
Centralized air-cooling systems are designed to cool large areas or entire buildings, which means they have a larger cooling capacity than smaller, decentralized units. This allows them to cool the space more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and costs. Additionally, centralized air-cooling systems tend to have better insulation and weather sealing, reducing energy loss and improving efficiency.
Improved Air Quality
Because the system is located in one central location, it is easier to access and maintain the filters. This means the filters can be changed more frequently, improving the facility’s air quality. This is especially beneficial for facilities such as hospitals, schools, and other public buildings, where the health and well-being of the occupants are a top priority.
Centralized air-cooling systems can be easily scaled up or down to accommodate changes in the facility’s size and cooling needs. This flexibility benefits facilities in a state of flux, such as research and development centres, where the cooling needs may change rapidly.
Better Temperature and Humidity Control
Centralized air-cooling systems offer a higher level of control regarding temperature and humidity in large buildings or facilities. These systems allow for precise temperature control, ensuring the facility remains comfortable throughout the year. It also makes maintaining the optimal humidity level more manageable, which is vital for protecting sensitive equipment and materials.
Centralized air-cooling systems require less maintenance than decentralized systems. Because these systems have fewer moving parts, there is less wear and tear, which means they last longer and require less maintenance, ensuring that the system is running at peak efficiency and prolonging its lifespan. Additionally, because the system is located in one central location, it is much easier to access care and repairs, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Centralized air-cooling systems are cost-effective in the long run. They are usually less expensive to install than multiple smaller air conditioner units and require less maintenance and repair work. Additionally, the energy savings centralized air-cooling systems provide can lead to significant cost savings over time.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Centralized air-cooling systems can improve indoor air quality by removing pollutants and allergens. These systems can be equipped with advanced air filters that can effectively remove dust, pollen, and other contaminants from the air, making the indoor environment cleaner and healthier.
Centralized air-cooling systems are typically less noisy than multiple smaller units. As the unit is placed far from the actual cooling area and air travels through the ducts, they will be very silent and without any noise disturbance. This can be especially beneficial for libraries, schools, and offices, where a quiet environment is essential for productivity.
When choosing an air-cooling system, it’s essential to consider factors such as sizing and capacity, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, maintenance and repair, and scalability. Centralized air-cooling systems offer several benefits over traditional cooling methods as well as over air conditioning; especially significant energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality, cost savings, easy maintenance, space-saving design, and scalability. These systems suit quite well for various applications including; data centres, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and healthcare facilities. With the right system in place, you can keep your building comfortable and energy-efficient for years to come.

If you were able to hang out in the upper atmosphere over Europe and just keep an eye on things from above, you might have thought the continent was underlast Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning.
Three meteoroids were spotted burning up in the atmosphere over Belgium and Germany within just a few hours of each other. In fact, the first two of the trio lit up the skies over Belgium in the span of less than an hour. That pair was spotted by the French Fireball Recovery and InterPlanetary Observation Network (Fripon), which includes an all-sky camera in Brussels.
It doesn't take much to put on a show when bits of space debris collide with the atmosphere. Pebble-sized bits can create the dimmer, more fleeting "shooting stars" associated with meteor showers, while slightly bigger chunks can create brilliant fireballs.
With three meteors burning up in the atmosphere over the same part of the globe on the same evening, it's possible that they may have a common history. They could represent three small fragments that were once part of a larger asteroid, but we may never know for sure.
April could be a good month for more meteors. The Lyrid meteor shower is set to peak later in the month, but fireballs can pop up anytime, day or night, so keep your eyes up!

Following military activities by Russian troops that invaded Ukraine beginning on February 24, Ukraine’s national power company, Ukrenergo, has confirmed that the Chornobyl Nuclear Electricity Plant is no longer linked to the power grid. The city of Slavutich has also been devastated, with thousands of people without power. “The nuclear power plant at Chornobyl was completely unplugged from the electricity system as a result of military activities by Russian troops. There is no power supply at the nuclear power plant. Because military operations are ongoing, there is no way to repair the lines. Slavutich city is also without electricity, according to Ukrenergo’s Facebook page.
This study is the latest in a string of alarming developments affecting the power plant, which was the site of the 1986 meltdown. According to the Kyiv Independent and New Scientist, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has lost communication with safeguards monitoring equipment at Chornobyl.
The IAEA has also requested that Russia allow for the rotation of some of the 210 technical workers and guards who have stayed at the facility for the past 13 days in order to keep it secure. Food, water, and medication are few, and the situation looks to be deteriorating. “I am profoundly worried about the tough and stressful circumstances in which workers at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant find themselves, as well as the possible threats this poses to nuclear safety.” In a statement, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi stated, “I call on the troops in effective control of the site to expedite the safe rotation of people there.”
The power facility is known in the West as Chernobyl, which is a romanization of the Russian word. Chornobyl is the romanization of the Ukrainian spelling; we used this spelling throughout the text to match the sources.
Ukraine told the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today that rotating some 210 technical personnel and guards who have been working at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) since Russian forces took control of the site almost two weeks ago was becoming increasingly urgent and important for the safe management of the plant, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said. In contrast to the current situation for staff at Ukraine’s operational nuclear power plants, the same shift has been on duty at the Chornobyl NPP since the day before the Russian military entered the 1986 accident site on February 24, effectively living there for the past 13 days, according to the regulator.
The Ukrainian regulator also stated that the personnel had restricted access to food, water, and medicine. However, the situation for the employees was deteriorating. It urged the IAEA to coordinate international assistance in developing a strategy for replacing present workers and establishing an efficient rotation system for the facility. Staff managing nuclear sites, according to Director General Grossi, must be allowed to rest and work in regular shifts, which is critical for overall nuclear safety.
Their ability to make choices free of undue pressure is one of the seven essential pillars of nuclear safety and security he stated at an IAEA Board of Governors meeting on 2 March, which was held to discuss the safety, security, and safeguards implications of the situation in Ukraine.

Most people think that planning a vacation needs to be stressful and complicated. But if you know what you’re doing and how to be organized, you will plan your dream holiday in no time. So, here is a detailed guide on how to plan your Mykonos vacation perfectly – it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
How to Plan Your Mykonos Vacation Guide Starts With Figuring Out Your Travel Dates
The very first thing you need to do is figure out what time you want to go to The Island of the Winds. Take a look at your calendar and determine your departure and return dates – see when you have vacation days coming up and consult your friends on when the best time to go would be.
But before you make a decision about your dates, you should know that the best time to visit Mykonos depends on what you’re looking for out of your vacation. If you’re looking to have some fun and experience the legendary nightlife, you should know that all the hottest clubs and beach bars have the best parties during July and August.
On the other hand, if you’re more in the mood to have a relaxing time at the beach and enjoy some peace and quiet during your vacation, May, the beginning of June, or September could be the right time for you to go. But, no matter when you choose to go, you are guaranteed to have a wonderful time.
Mykonos Is an Extremely Popular Summer Destination in Greece, So You Need to Start Planning in Time
When it comes to the most popular summer destinations in the world, The Island of the Winds is pretty high on the list. Over half a million people come to visit this exclusive island every year, and it’s always very crowded and high in demand, especially during the summer months in peak season.
If you want to have the greatest summer vacation of your life and visit this exclusive destination, you need to start planning everything in time. It would be ideal to have everything booked and ready to go at least three months in advance, but it’s even better if you can have everything planned earlier.
And while last-minute trips to this little piece of paradise in Greece aren’t unheard of, the longer you wait to plan out your vacation, the fewer opportunities you have because people will snatch the best ones pretty quickly.
Set a Budget for Your Holiday and Stick to It
The Island of the Winds is known as a luxurious and expensive destination. Everything on the island screams luxury – from expensive cars and designer shops to countless millionaires who travel to this party island to spend some money and stay in the luxury villas Mykonos has to offer.
In a place that practically lures you into spending money, it can be difficult to travel on a budget and stick to it, but unless you’re a millionaire or a celebrity, it’s the only way to visit this amazing destination without spending your life’s savings.
Separate your entire travel budget into three parts: transportation, accommodation, and everyday spending budget. Airfare and accommodation should take up around 70% of your entire travel budget, and whatever’s left is for everyday expenses during your holiday, such as food, going out, and souvenir shopping.
Do Your Research on Flights and Credit Card Reward Programs
Once you know your departure and return dates, it’s time to buy a plane ticket. If you stay organized and plan everything months in advance, your airfare will be drastically cheaper than if you were buying it two weeks before the flight.
The further ahead you plan, the cheaper the airfare will be. However, if you want to be spontaneous and go to Greece within a week, you’re in luck because plane tickets could be fairly cheap a week before the flight as well.
You Can Use the Miles on Your Credit Card to Lower the Cost of the Flight
A very useful thing people tend to forget about is reward programs. Most reputable airline companies will have credit card reward programs, where you get points or “miles” with every purchased flight ticket. Once you rack up enough miles, you can use them to lower the cost of your plane ticket.
You Can Also Take a Ferry to Get to The Island of the Winds from Athens
When visiting Mykonos, you will most likely have a layover in Athens before you get to your final destination. The great thing is that you can choose whether you want to get on another flight from Athens to Mykonos or go on a ferry and cruise until you reach the ferry port in Chora.
If you choose to fly, know that the direct flight lasts only 45 minutes, while with the high-speed ferry, the journey lasts about two and a half hours. But it’s cheaper, and you get to admire the beauty of the Aegean Sea.
Find the Best Accommodation – You Have Countless Private Villas in Mykonos and Hotels to Choose from
Probably the most fun part of planning your vacation is picking the perfect accommodation, and since it’s the one thing that can truly make or break your holiday, you should get it right. The good news is that the island is filled with gorgeous Mykonos villas for rental, as well as some of the most luxurious hotels in the world.
Many of the Greek villas Mykonos has to offer are built in classic Greek island architecture, and they’re all incredibly beautiful. Each luxury Mykonos villa rental is fully equipped with all the amenities you could ever need for a perfect holiday, including a private pool, multiple bathrooms and bedrooms, countless seating areas, outdoor BBQs, and so much more. If you want to have a magical vacation, book one of the Mykonos luxury villas for your stay.
Pick Where You Want to Stay – The Old Town of Chora Is the Most Popular Area Tourists Choose
Beautiful villas and hotels are scattered all over the island. However, most tourists choose a villa or a hotel in the Old Town, not only because of its beauty but also because of its excellent location. The Old Town is truly the heart and soul of the island, and it’s located close to all other important areas and tourist attractions.
The streets of Chora look like they’re out of a movie, and they’re the perfect place to stay during your trip. You can only see beautiful whitewashed stone houses with blue accents anywhere you look, and who wouldn’t want to wake up to a view like that? Everything will be within walking distance from your villa – Chora is filled with the best restaurants and bars on the island, and local shops are around every corner.
Make a Travel Itinerary Based on How Many Days You Have – Write Down Everything from Beaches to Restaurants
For such a small island, Mykonos has a lot to offer. In fact, there are so many fascinating things to see and do, it’s impossible to get to experience everything in just one weekend, for example. That’s why you need to prioritize and make a to-do list for each day of your trip, containing everything you want to see. Creating a travel itinerary will allow you to take in as much beauty of the island as you possibly can.
Make a List of All the Best Attractions You Want to See During Your Stay
The gorgeous Island of the Winds is full of interesting tourist attractions, from beautiful buildings and churches to historical sites. If you’re only staying for a few days, you can’t get to see it all, so do some research and make a list of all the most important attractions, such as Little Venice, then the Armenistis lighthouse during the sunset, the breathtaking windmills, the church of Panagia Paraportiani, and so on.
The Island Is Filled With Fun Things to Do – Figure Out What Activities You Want to Participate in
Besides sightseeing, there are many other fun things to do on the island. Do some research on all the fun activities the island has to offer, and come prepared. If you’re in the mood for an adrenaline rush, then you will love all the great water sports available. On the other hand, if you want something more relaxing, possibly in nature, then activities such as wine tasting, hiking, and cooking classes are probably more up your alley.
If There Is a Special Club or Restaurant You Want to Visit – Make Sure You Book a Table in Time
There is only one downside to this dreamy destination – restaurant and club reservations in Mykonos are very difficult to get, especially during the peak season when the island is crowded with tourists all looking to get into the same popular spots.
If you want to get ahead of the problem and make club or restaurant reservations in time, make sure to call at least a week or two in advance.
If you don’t want to go through the hassle of trying to book a table in the hottest spots on the island, you can always ask your Mykonos concierge for help. Let the professional take care of it, and you will get into your favorite place with no problem.
Rent a Car to Have More Freedom to Explore The Island of the Winds
One of the greatest travel tips for those who want to explore every hidden gem on the island is to rent a car. Having a car or a scooter will allow you to move around much easier, which means you will get to explore the island more efficiently. Not only will you get to see more interesting places, but you will also save a lot of money because you won’t be paying for a taxi all the time.
What Would a Trip to Mykonos Be if You Didn’t Spend a Day on a Luxury Yacht – Make Sure to Add It to Your Itinerary
If you truly want to treat yourself and your loved ones to a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you need to invest in Mykonos yacht rental. It’s a unique opportunity to sail across the Aegean Sea, breathe in the salty air, and take in the beauty of Greece.
A day spent on a luxury yacht will by far be the most memorable day of your trip – you can spend it simply chilling and enjoying the views, or you can throw an unforgettable yacht party. Either way, don’t miss the opportunity to experience something like this.
You Can Go on a Day Trip to Visit the Neighboring Islands
One of the best things you can do during your stay is to go on a day trip to the neighboring islands of Delos, Naxos, or Paros. The great thing about The Island of the Winds is its location, and getting to neighboring islands is very easy and fast if you book a yacht rental or if you go by a high-speed ferry.
Do some preparation beforehand and organize a yacht trip to some of the islands nearby. For example, you could have a day trip to the island of Delos, as it’s only 30 minutes away. And if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, you can spend two and a half hours traveling to Santorini for the day.
If You Want to Spend Your Summer Dancing in a Beach Bar on The Island of the Winds, Just Contact The Ace VIP
There is a reason why Mykonos is known for being one of the top summer destinations in the world. Between the months of June and September, it’s the IT place to see and to be seen. It’s one of the rare places where both young people looking to have fun and families with children can have their dream summer vacations.
If you want to spend your summer in this piece of paradise, drinking a cold cocktail while tanning at one of the best beaches in Greece, all you have to do is contact The Ace VIP and book one of our luxury Mykonos villa rentals.
